It's another week, another big week here in the barn burner studios. Do we have a name for the, we don't really, eh? The BBS. Probably be something barn related. In the barn. We're here in the quonset. I'm not sure what it would be. Some farm.

The one of the ones it is, right? I do. My buddies that go back this time of year to their their homelands of Saskatchewan and play hockey in quonsets. Good ice. Be a big quonset. Yeah. Well, for a full size rank for sure.

Yeah. We don't have room. We do not have that kind of room. We do not have ice making capabilities. No. Yes, we do. Ice cubes? Don't have them in here.

No ice cubes in the place. How are we having a drinky party? Well, that's a one day event. We'll bring in some ice blocks. Carved? We'll have a carving. Chris Swarber. Chris Swarver carves ice sculptures down in Minneapolis.

Whatever the moment. it's never ordinary at bet 365 as we get into the show today. We're going to go over our bets today or did someone have the Monday night? I'm not sure.

No, I don't think anyone, well, you guys had the same bets. How do that? You and I want one right. Chargers covered. Stupid chiefs, eh? God. Doinkin in. Doinke and in after the horseshoe up your ass routine?

they've been pulling for two months, a doinkin in to win. It's what they do. They're frauds. But how can you be frauds when you just win? Because they're playing bad teams and barely getting by. I would argue those teams are intimidated by them. I would argue it's the opposite.

It's teams that can run up a big score but then can't finish. Carolina? They would be Denver? The frauds. Whereas the chiefs just kind of, they look comfortable in whatever scenario they're in. I will say. If you give him a home's the ball with three minutes left and he's down by six or less, they're winning.

There's no question about that. They just don't do anything terribly well. They stop the run. I don't know. It's wild. Like I just hope someone blows the doors off them in the playoffs, but they're probably going to be coming off a buy. But doesn't that make them more dangerous? When they're not doing anything particularly well, they're not blowing your doors off.

I think they're going to get shit pumped in the first game in the playoffs. There's a good chance. So that I hope for it. I do. I'm not saying they aren't capable. Like they've got the best quarterback in the league. They've got Pacheco back. The defense is very good.

They just, I don't know that anyone's looked so mediocre going 12 and 1 in the history of the league. Never. Like, it can't be. It's got to be the most mediocre looking 12 and 1. It is kind of scary to your point. But the other side of is, maybe there's horseshoes out their ass. Like how many blocked field goal doinks are you going to get to win games?

I don't even think it's horseshoes though. I think it's, they're just a little bit better than most. teams like they are it's not like they're a bottom dweller they're not Jacksonville that's oh my god how's this but they aren't good enough to beat the good teams on a regular basis yeah if you're playing a real solid football team Detroit yeah you're they're not gonna Detroit's gonna beat yeah I think you put them up against the Detroit you put them up against a buffalo you give them some good teams like that they'll struggle um Philly even the way that they can run the ball against good run these I wonder provided that those teams don't get the chief

flew and then soil themselves. Well, I mean, if they play those teams, it'll be the Super Bowl because two of those three teams are NFC. But yeah, like, I just hope someone spanks them because it's so frustrating to watch them barely get by. And there is a lot of luck. Like, you can't, sure everyone tries to block a field goal, but like they're getting these crazy calls from the officials.

They're getting, it's like they live rent free and the opponent's head in the way. That's what the third different kicker. Yeah. To kick a game winner for them this year. Safety was doing kickoffs for them. They wouldn't even let the kicker to kickoffs. Like, And of course, doinin' in, not doin' out, never doinke in for the Chiefs.

No, doin out if you're playing the Chiefs, doin in if you are the Chiefs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Their left tackles at, like, moving early, every single play that never gets called. It's insane. I don't know we were going to start with football today, but while we're talking football, um, we saw something that's never happened before. Again. Pretty impressive for Josh Allen.

three passing touchdowns, three rushing touchdowns in the same game, the only player to ever do it in the regular season. They must have won by 1,000. Yeah, they would put up a lot of points, so guaranteed win night. I think we have some footage here, Jack, of, so it's three, three passing, three rushing. MVP. Oh, boy. See, it's.

There it is. Wow. What are we looking at? He's taking a knee. That's minus a yard. What are you? That victory formation is out of this? That's not victory formation for sure retro.

I think it is. Depends. You married. Depends how you're winning. Hey, you keep putting up. You rush three in. You throw for three. And remember, it'll work itself out.

Yeah. It was two weeks ago that he receiving rushing and throwing test zones, he was the first guy to do that in a single game. That's a quarterback. So that's two weeks in a row, rewriting history. one in one. And then he single-handedly beat the Chiefs. Yeah, he did that, yeah.

Yeah, he did do that. Stupid Chiefs. Did you watch that game? Chiefs or Bill's? Bill's. Yes. I saw it. It was wild.

I had the kicker, but it was just extra points. He was not asked to try one field. Well, and you know what? They got to get into this thing. And I know that play by Shakir, where he basically just, I'm just going to run right

through. I caught the ball. Now I'm going to sprint away from everyone. Look how fast I am. Holy. Like, that's, that's impressive speed. When you're making other NFL players look that slow, he took off. That is something else.

So congrats in a way to Josh there, but. In a way. You know. But maybe not so much. I just hope he's happy, Dean. Oh, for sure he's, yeah. Yeah. Because last year he had that.

gorgeous bimbo and that didn't do well for them. She had a big head. So I would like literally a big head, but she had a ego. She had a big ego because she hung out with Josh Allen. Right. Well, what's your contribution? Yeah. Oh, you tuck them in.

That's wonderful. Thank you. Yeah. Oh, we'll get into some of the opening statements for McLeod law. Shane King, partner in the litigation and dispute resolution group, specializing in areas like employee rights. Maybe you've been let go. Maybe terminated.

What an awful word to use, too, right? It terminated. It doesn't sound good. No. It could be hard. Harsh. Yeah. Shane will review your situation for you.

Make sure you've been treated fairly and as the law requires. That's a good idea. Practical approach, plain language, just down. That's what it is. Your Calgary people talking to Calgary people, they are who you want to deal with. They're proud of those Calgary roots. Longstanding client relationships. They give back to the community.

they care about the community and they care about you. MacLeoddashlot.com. Flames last night on the wrong end of a 6-2 score in Dallas. Wrong end of a third period, Dino. As the stars put up four in the final frame to blow the doors off the flames, floodgates, if you will. Are we, is there a chink in the armor?

They're not good on the road, boys. I know, that's not. I'm less worried about that than the guy that we were raving about two weeks ago on being able to stop pucks. You know what? Over the course of this season, we've been raving about a lot of things. Very few of them stand have stood up to the, uh, test to the praise. Bad night, bad third. Size from the sixth?

Was the size? No, no. It's a whiff with his glove. There's no size. There was some size issues and a couple of the same. This is the problem. Anytime he lets in a goal, people can say, oh, it's the size. It's the size.

Vladar is a monster. And he's letting in way more goals per game. Not way more, but he was going to say, based on what? Well, scans, it's a percentage all that. It's a bad night. You could always count on Ryan. Yeah. No matter what.

Well, no, I mean, who's the better goal right now? You take him for the rest of the year. Who do you think it is? I'm taking Wolf. It's debatable. Sure. But you're thinking long term, who do you think? might come out of it and be a longer

what are the numbers right now it's you're you're acting like well you're not admitting that wolf might have some warts right now he's saying that bladar is he's lost three straight he's allowed 14 goals in the three games at home he's seven and one with a 1.85 goals against and a 942

safe percentage dazzling yes on the road one four and one a 4.16 six goals against and an 862 save percentage. Road, road, road. It's weird, isn't it? Okay, so what's that mean? Well, the team sucks on the road. Um, they have, well, it's part of it that the goalie can't make a save?

Well, Vladars played on the road as well. Guess how many regulation road wins they have this year? Three. One. Oh. Like, that's atrocious. They win an overtime night one of the year of Vancouver. They went an overtime of Montreal. The only other road win all year was in Edmonton under third game. So it's, uh, I still, you have, like, goalie's a part of it.

Goley's a part of it. But it's not like what Vladar goes in. They went on the road, right? We can acknowledge that. Oh, listen, this is not to pin this on Wolf. Yeah. I know that's kind of where we started. That's all I'm trying to say is like, look, he wasn't great last night.

He came off two weeks where he was untouchable and he's had two weeks where he's not been quite good. And, I mean, yeah. He's led in four, four and six. Yeah. That's more than not quite good. One zero and two the week before. Right. I'm saying is, yeah.

You're saying he was on, he was incredible, untouchable. and well, he's not been as good. I mean, if you're going to go one way, then no, he's not been good. Yeah, he was great and then not good. Yeah, and so the truth clearly lies in the middle is where I'm saying. Yeah. I don't know, because to say, oh, it's the road. You almost feel like you're letting them off the hook,

as if every NHL team struggled this way. Like you say, you go through it. They've won three of 14 road games. Only Nashville has fewer road victories at this point of their season. It's eight straight loss. away from home. They have the worst penalty kill in the league on the road. Their last regulation road win was in October, as you mentioned, against the Oilers.

Third game of the year. Their last win period on the road, November 5th, so a month ago. Montreal, that was the comeback win where they, Richmond was very close to not winning that game. Coronado and overturned offside goal. And then, you know, miraculous playing overtime. And it's interesting to look at it because, right now they played 28 games and it's 14 it's an even split 14 home games 14 road games

at home they've scored 40 have given up 31 plus 11 on the road they've scored 31 and given up 52 minus 21 it's stark like and I don't believe that most teams home road's a big thing but for whatever group for this year it's night and day when you measure home versus road. Look at the goalies numbers, look at special teams, look at goals four, look at goals against. Everything is very different when they go on the road. You've played years. Put on your coaching hat. And now, and part of it is probably, if you had the luxury of being with the team, being behind closed doors, and kind of seeing it, not just what's happening on the ice, but okay, so what are we, what's happening on the planes, on the hotel, all of it? I just wonder, from your

experience, home road, have you been in a spot where it's been close to this? And what strategies or techniques have been in? Too many married guys. Please explain. Well, they want to be home. They're not on the road living it up, party, and they're going on the road, and they're sitting in their hotel rooms, and they're not, that's, yeah, there's no guilt. Well, I wondered.

I was laughing with Pike last night. If you can only watch so much Netflix and YouTube, and Prime in your hotel room. If there was a team that should have been excited to get to Nashville after that game last night, it should have been the flames. Let's go. Coaches should mandate. Straight to Broadway.

Let's go. We'll put your bags in your room. Just go. Chuck your bags. Meet you in the lobby, let's go. Well, here's the thing. It's been ugly on the road.

It can get uglier. You're now facing the second to worst team in the West in the Predators. Well, and you have no confidence. and the flames to win this game. Well, no, and it's like, geez, all of a sudden, it's like a loss of the predators does start to feel like a low mart for the season, wouldn't it? Well, remember the road trip that they went on?

We're five points out of a possible eight. Oh, geez, that's hot. Let's go. That sounds like six, seven, against those four teams? Four of the bottom six teams in the east. They come back with one of a possible eight points. Now, look, Dallas is a much better team than you on paper. You know, it's you, the Grand Canyon.

and then then when you're measuring talent. On and off paper. Well, they're much better. And so through 40, it's 2-2 and rightfully so. But when Dallas seemed to be invested in winning the game, they just absolutely dropped the pedal on it. It's odd because it's not like you're going to, you look at if you're Dallas or Nashville or any team,

you're not looking at the flames lineup and going, okay, if we can shut down this line. No. We've got the matchup. We're at home. We can. Yeah. Who are you focused on?

No, it's not done at all. I don't think last change has a lot to do with it at all. No. Yeah. The other thing, too, with last night, and I mean, the road thing, there's no, there's no way to really kind of nail it down. Just last, just situationally unaware last night. Codry off the first goal. You get that first goal a minute in.

And instead of building on it, Codry, you kind of can't pull it up the wall. And it wasn't even terrible. It wasn't. But it's just a little thing. Johnston grabs it and then cuts right through ball and Anderson and then. The ball was changing and then the Robertson goal. He comes out of the penalty box. Pospisal is not aware that the penalty is nearing its end.

And remember that they had that. It's two minutes, right? They had that stat about how fast pospical was and how slow Robertson was. Yeah. Like one of the fastest was Pospicile and one of the slowest bursts was Robertson. I still think the goaler should stop it. Go ahead. Yeah.

And then, well, the Rupert's. the rupe hints that's the that's the pinch by anderson where he gets kind of clunked and decides to stick around and shove a guy and pelche and pelche and ball go to the same guy and then hints is all alone and then the play behind the net turns into a goal for sam steel and uh bo da babb da bab so they they played a hand in their misfortune for sure big time big time but uh but again uh i i feel like you'd need just about everything to go right to be Dallas to go into Dallas and beat that team. Yeah, and look, they had a good opening three, four minutes of that third period too. Like they were real good. Dallas didn't touch the puck a bunch. And so it wasn't even like a period got them.

They had a good start to the period they got them and they still allowed for. It just felt like Dallas. DeVore got in there and just like, listen, what are we doing? Can we work here, fellas? Put your foot down. Let's do this thing. That's their 10th home win, 10 and 2. I'm just thinking like the flame's best forward.

like if you could pick any forward and say okay this is our best guy like i don't even know who you'd pick is it zari is it charing go i don't know like but like where does that even file in and is it a third liner for dallas is it their seventh best forward like they're just it's an embarrassment of riches there can we do i just thought of it last night after after burner and talking with pike so i went and kind of did the the looking yeah jonathan huberdow leads the flames with nine goals pretty good what a sniper only one One other team has their goal scorer with that few goals. Anaheim has Vitrano, Troitieri, and Leo Carlson tied with six each.

Oof. Ooh. It's Anaheim. And then in points, it's Huberdow and Cadry tied with 17 to lead them in 28 games. No other team has a leading scorer with that few. How many? 17 points. In 28 games, so you're on pace for what, not even 60?

It's like, well, look at this can't be. Troy Terry's got 19. Chicago, Bedard's got 20. Nashville, Forsberg has 17 points, but Yossi's got 23. And then you said, well, the Islanders have three with more than 20. Ottawa's got three with 28 plus. Utah, they've got four. San Jose's got four.

Seattle's got two. Your leading score has 17 points. Yeah, it sounds like you're describing a team that doesn't score with any And now their goal tending is letting in four a night. Yeah. This two shall pass. One win in their last seven and now 25 games in a row. 25 games in a row.

They've not been able to get to four goals. I don't think this two shall pass. I think this two shall remain the same. Well, I think that this is what this team is and they are not going. I know they will get. Yeah, it'll be somewhere in the middle. But you're right. Yeah.

I don't think it will be in the middle. You can't get to the middle. You have to go score four goals for. They'll score or score for. You will score four, but they're not going to average. No, God. Average two, two and a half goals a game. And like, but what, 25, 26 games?

25 and 25, that you're getting into kind of almost historic territory. I would think so. I don't, I haven't seen any of stats, but it's got to be close. Like to not score four in for a, almost a third of a season. Francis had it today. Yeah. The team's pop gun offense failed to come through once again, extending a string of games, scoring three goals or less to 25.

It's the NHL's fifth longest streak in the modern era, which is going back to 67, 68. Does he have the other? So only four other streaks have bested what we're watching. There's been some really bad teams. Like there was a, there was a sharks team that had, what, one road win all year? There was an Ottawa senator's team that didn't get to 15 wins, if I'm correct. And the thing is, this teams with that group. Two weeks ago, we were not talking in any way, shape, or form like this, about this being historically dry offensively.

But we were being swayed by the great goaltent. The conversation was based around the geez, these goalies are unbelievable. Look at them going. And we did say on that homestand, they scored four goals in their last three games, like four real goals or whatever it was. They won three of those games.

Like we understood what was happening. It was unsustainably elite netminding. And what's going to change? Like I know they will score four goals. in a game they'll probably score six in the game but it's not going to be in a regular occurrence what's going to no they're they're not they're going to be what they're they're a very limited offensive team it's not like zari or huberto or codry or coleman or backland or colinado are going to get more ice time or more opportunity on the power play they're going to have a big break oh finally they let this guy loose these guys are all playing and the power play's actually been pretty good for the last three weeks too the power plays been good like they went on that road trip they were 27 percent they came home and got two on four they're over 30 percent for a stretch there and they're still not getting four goals uh and when you look they're now three points away from being bottom 10 in the league and that's kind of where we thought they would be friends with 72 goals

actually that's not accurate let me uh 74 after two last night they're not the worst when you start to look at goals for and against um can you tell us who is i can do that already now. Well, there's, I mean, you're talking Nashville, Anaheim, Chicago, Detroit, the Islanders, Utah, St. Louis, and oddly Boston. They're the fifth worst. It's Nashville, Chicago, Anaheim, Detroit on a per game basis. They're at 2.54,

which is the fifth worst in the NHL. And that's, that makes sense. So as bad as it is, it's not like this is totally rarefied error. There's other teams that are also struggling. That streaks rare error, but yeah. And look, Chicago

Anaheim, we understood where they're where they're going to know i'm saying that this it's who they are it's it's not it's not it's probably not a good thing because yeah other teams are doing it and i'm with you i don't see there's not a score here i mean is kuzmanko capable of more than one goal yes uh could cadre score more sharon govich has been quiet you had a bunch of goals from coleman last year you're getting none of that but still if if i had to put money down on what this is going to look like yeah I think you're going to have a team that could be in that bottom five in the at HL by the time 82 games are done in terms of offense. They're on five already.

Well, you know what? When you hire a duster coach that wants to coach like Jacques Lamar and trap it up or take all the fun out of the game, that's what you get. It's interesting. If they, and I know you're joking, but if let's say they didn't win their first five games, they just lost them, whether they're one goals or not. Like that changed everything that starts. Because if you take 10, take even two. wins out of them. You take 10 points away from them in the standing. And it did not look like they were winning that opening

that opening night game against Vancouver. Sure didn't. They caught Vancouver hitting the snooze button. But yeah, you drop 20 points off this team, or 10 points off this team, those five wins. Like, they're third from the bottom. Only National and Chicago are worse. And so the coach is coaching his ass off to try to hang around in this playoff thing. And it was an unsustainable hot run to start the year. They scored 16 goals the first three games. They haven't scored four since.

What's worse, Dean, when there's a, like, What's your favorite dessert? Let's say it's banana cream pie. Okay, so we have a lovely banana cream pie from your favorite pie shop. Is it worse if it's still in the store and you can't see it and it's not there? Or is it worse that it's in front of you? Oh, it's so close. I'm going to get it and I'm going to eat it like because that's what it feels like.

They've created a spot where they're trying to hang on to that playoff spot. Or if they'd lost those games, it had been like, yeah, this is what. It's like play the shit out of Kuzmanko. We're not going to hell these scratch guys. Like go out there and do you. Or you go to the ice cream shop and they give you that little kind of wooden stick here. You want to taste? See what it's like?

Oh, that's good. I'll have more of that. It's gone. No. That's all you get. Well, and look, it was an emboldened group. But it was delicious. You heard cadre in the preseason.

There's not more skill in this room that people give us credit for. Like us against the world, things great when you get off to a hot start. But what happens when it's Christmas and you are in the bottom of town? It's like shit. Maybe the outsiders were right. We aren't that. good. That's going to come home real quick here if they lose

in Nashville because they got Tampa and Florida waiting from the homestand. You never had more skill. You had real good goaltending. Yes, and really good work ethic and structure to be fair. I don't think that's changed. Yeah, I mean, I think the structure was pretty shitty last night, but I agree. Generally speaking, they don't get out

worked. But we're just making. Maybe you have it. If we could watch all the goals. Like, there are goals against in last night's games where you need that. save. And he was definitely making that save. He was making those saves. And if you make two of those saves, it doesn't, it changes the

whole dynamic. Anyway, it's. Yeah, and he was dealing with a stomach thing. No conno confidence at all. I got lots of confidence. That's a different time. Connie didn't get suckered in by the hot start is when I'm confident. That's a different thing altogether. Well, you know, Ryan Pike had this is the first time

that Flames fans are going to wake up and look at the standings. It's like, geez, they're below that cut line today. Colorado's got one more point and just played one more game. So they're there there. Good luck keeping pace with the abs, friends. Ryan Huska was asked, you know, teams now kind of falling out of a playoff spot.

And Huska is. Playoffs. That's what you were saying? That's what you were saying. That was Huska. Playoffs? Don't talk about. Playoffs?

You kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game. Oh, well. It's not quite that dire straits. Chicago's doing their best again. Good for them. They're not real happy.

Fired the coach. Well, that feels like Nashville's close. We keep hearing in Anaheim. Corona is this guy going to hang around? Anaheim, at least you got all these young guys. You might pay the coach

what the hell difference are we going to. You got Leo Carlson, Mason McTavish. I mean, Ziegrest before he got hurt was actually playing pretty decently. Zellwiger and the Russian Minchikov in the back end.

Like, it's just high pick, high pick, high pick, it's coming. Their young goalie's been sensational. San Jose, you got Will Smith, you got, you know, Celebrini amongst others. All kinds of exciting for us.

But it's, but this is the difference is those teams are probably going to have some fun down the stretch and get better. Which young flames players are going to be better for that. That's why it's going to be fun. So Connie afted up two weeks ago when he didn't go get a score. I think he was brilliant. Keep us in the playoffs. Someone would have it up if they did.

But since he didn't, Now we can start talking about who we're trading again because this is. I'm not sure what they have. It's dazzling any team that's looking to make a run. You've got to trade someone that's more of a focal point. Coleman, get him out of here. Okay. It's that fine line of like you watched what happened in Edmonton when they had Taylor

Hall and young McDavid and no leaders and nobody to show them the right way to play. But then also being like, you know, Mucky Middle is the worst, especially when your first rounder's top 10 protected. That's literally the worst thing you could do for the franchise this year is somehow finish 11th to 16th. I am giving Condry his wish. He could, I'm going to pay to get him out of here. Curious about Godry. Yeah, because you say it's his wish.

You know, we're assuming he'd like to go. I'm just assuming that a guy of his age wants to go play on a cup contender. Maybe that's the wrong assumption, but I think you're right. I don't think he's like, get me out of here. I think he wants to believe with this group, but it'll be made. clear probably in the next month that it ain't happening with this group and then where are we at? I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy, but Toronto always comes up or if you think about it, it's like, he's from Toronto and they have a really good team and he's like, it feels like he would absolutely

want to go to Toronto. Anywhere they need number two center. It's a contender. Right. That's that's a fit. This is when you need those, those leadership guys. And I just watch that game. I just, because you do, Okay, I'm going to insert myself in the room. What's being said between the pier? What's being said after the game? What's the, and I don't know what is Codry's mood? Is he throwing his arm around a guy like ball who's minus five and had a rough night? I'm not sure.

I feel like Weger is, is probably one of those guys. Becklin's probably one of those guys too. Coleman is, yeah. I don't know about Codry. Yeah, I don't know. And that's not a shot. It's just like he's more, um, I don't feel like he says open a book.

Like everything's a little more guarded or confrontational rather than like I think he's on the ice leader. Yeah. Yeah. Follow me in battle guy. I'll compete on the ice lead by example as opposed to. I don't. Anyway.

Yeah. But those are the conversations that will be curious. Connie doesn't want to rush them. You got all the way till March 9th. But it's like it's him. It's Coleman. It's what are you doing with Rasmus Anderson and McKenzie Weeger? Because those are the conversations.

I agree. I think that we want to look at the team and go, who are these side pieces that we can ditch and make great returns on? And I don't think that that's where you're going to get it. Well, Dar will, yeah. That's it, really. Yeah. Other than that, the pieces that would be of value are more core pieces.

And I think you have to approach it. And we don't need all these pieces. Plus, if we're that, maybe that's the key to bringing us lower in the standing. So we get a better. If you delete a cadre from this lineup, your centermen are a guy that hasn't even played a full season in the league, Kevin Rooney and 35-year-old Michael Backland. And now you've got to slide someone else down the middle. Like if they delete Nazim Kadri, you're going to see it in the standings.

He ain't having a great year, but he can play center race and win faceoffs. There's not many guys that can do that here. Yeah, he plays minutes every. night. He plays hard minutes. Yes. Yeah. And one of the only guys in the team that, you know, could score 30 goals. This year? I mean, I don't know this year, but last year is close. So that's that warm and fuzzy start to the show. Yeah. And then look, Kuzmanko's back in. Go get hot. Sure. Because right now, I don't know what the hell you're getting from.

Shooting 3% or something ridiculous. Yeah. It's just zeros. Just zeros. You guys just, I know. You got a more. And I started that it was a Monday and here we go. And then start talking about pie. That's delicious. So buckle up for,

for the Nashville game tomorrow because it's either a bit of redemption or it's like, you thought it was bad in Dallas. Nashville's dog shirt. And so where are their heads at? Are they still in like, it'll be, weren't they on the row? I don't know when they last played, but I saw they lost somewhere.

They did lose somewhere. They were in Toronto. in Montreal, I believe. And I think they might eat out a point in Montreal. No. I think they got shut out in Montreal. Okay. They're terrible.

Well, they blew that lead after 40 against. I'm just wondering if what, what, like, if they've gone home for a couple days and it's like, okay, we're going to regroup or if it's like, who. Or if it's where, yeah, they, uh, were beaten by Ottawa, 3.1, shut up by Montreal, three zip. The leaves beat them three to two. Close. Wasn't it all regular.

Wild and overtime. three to two, the lightning in overtime three to two, the flyers in overtime three to two, Devils five, two. Their last win was November 23rd. They're 0,3 and two. They're 04 and two in their last six. Jesus. Not good, Bob.

Four and three. Maybe they both need to go get right. Yeah, they could do play beer pong. Somebody's going to win. Beer pong. Somebody got to win. We know that's true. Is that what the, you crazy NHLers would do?

they play some some beer pong maybe some cornhole yeah good times watch pickleball on tv last night yeah i'm a sad sad human with what you'll watch so watching that mr mcmann series yeah oh not a great guy at times great show yeah pretty good show bad villains really make a good show i I want to show you something. I hope it's a little more uplifting than the BS. Yeah, come on. Well, okay, with that, um, to show you, Josh Allen on one knee, now he's losing.

No, Rhett didn't like that. I thought that was fun. Um, I want to show you this. It is, uh, week number two. This is the final week of the top shelf alpha. We kind of, we leaned into it a little bit last week, but we, you know what? We didn't want to do. We didn't want to fatigue you.

Didn't want to be. All right. All right. We get it auction. Yeah, got it, got it, got it. But only a few days left. Friday will be the final day of. our Top Shelf Elf auction, what it is is we've collected some goodies, put it online at Nationgear.ca,

and until Friday, you can bid to win them. Then all of the money raised will go to Closer to Home, local charity, who has an adopt family campaign every Christmas. They take the money that is raised and buy gift cards and distribute those to needy families so they can go out and shop for Christmas. It is awesome. Our presenting sponsors of Top Shelf Elf, McLeod, Law, and Village Honda, your dealership for life. And I got a text. I got a text. Well, I reached out and then a little back and forth,

you know, whatever we call it with Justin from Vena. Correspondence. Yeah. So, hey, how's a new story? How about those flames? Oh, not pretty good, eh? And that sort of thing. Not pretty good, eh? And, uh, it's too late to get into the Vina, get Vinova into the thing. I said, not never, never too late, bud. So this is what we came up with. And by we, I mean he, bid big and double your reward. highest bidder will earn double the final total in store credit at vina nova so say you take i'm going to bid 200 dollars if that bid wins you got 400 dollars waiting for you at vina nova boom 300 would be six that's right i can see the hamster justin will do the wheel stuck oh yeah there you go there

we go i said that's a great idea i like that's fantastic i'll i'll bid a million dollars Actually, yeah, maybe we should put a ceiling on that. Now, so what it is is it's a maximum of a thousand dollars store credit. That doesn't mean you need to stop. No. You know. Still getting great value. Right?

Two grand and get the third and if you spend a thousand, you're going to get a thousand. But if you spend 1,200, you're still getting a thousand. You spend $15. That's a great idea. Come on now. Again, would you like to win Christmas? Do you want the Eternal W? Go get it.

it's right you know what and then you're helping did that just get bid up I'm not sure that's it I'm not sure if it did you can find that in our other auctions nationgear dot CA so someone's gonna rush out Is Rick Wamsley bidding again

unbelievable yeah well then someone will just go 1500 now is that because I was with our jail I'm not really sure how to I think we've explained it Rhett's just wrapping his head around it's gonna take a while D and there's gonna be

There's going to be one winner. Highest bid. That highest bid, you're going to get double your bid up to $1,000 in store credit. And so let's say Rhett bids $1,000. I could still go $1,500. Sure you could $1,000. And then Rick Wamsley, RW, could jump in. And he goes $2,000 and gets $1,000,000.

I bid on this origin. You know what's bad? The shoveler's been checking on these. What if she bids against you? It's for the kids. R-W-S-W. Could that shovel? Babe, is that you?

In there, you saw Village Honda. They have donated a lovely detailing package and other little goodies. Could be all yours. Watch a Honda merch. I'm going to get that because I tried to clean my truck last week. And I think we're now in the spot where enough of the snow is melted. It's not going to be slushy, gross. It's time.

We're below zero for a while here. Have some pride. Take some. You know? Pride. Lord. Respect yourself just a little, please. Village Honda right now, if you, I mean, if you go to the website, you're going to see that the deal is on.

We got lots of dumb shit. You're going to like, Rhett. I can promise you that. But we'll get through some hockey first. Head over to flames nation.com. What have we got? Flash. Flash and pike.

Defensive lapses, sink flames in Dallas. I'd agree with that. And collapse the word used in the other column. So collapse, lapses, sink. Lassa a Apso. Not ideal. As, yeah, they now won, four, and two in their last seven. one regulation road win all year

and I've allowed 21 more goals than they've scored on the road road remaining an issue. Kevin Ball had his worst night as a Calgary Flam last night. He's been great. He's been a really nice pickup. We've liked him. You haven't noticed him most nights. Unfortunately, that's a big notice.

Wes Gilbert's in a post media. Kevin Ball on minus five last night. Worst single game plus minus by any Flames players since 2019. All right, Wes, we get it. But Wes, Wes is sweet boy. Rubbin salt. Well, and Wes goes on to say ball has been oh so steady for most of his first season in Calgary.

This was a tough night. Also, it's all fine. You know what that is? That's vintage. That's classic Wes. Vintage Wes right there. Wes a good boy. Be nice to us.

Dustin Wolf, what do we got on the Wolfman here? Not a great night either. Oh, this was before last night. This guy here is dead. Oh, geez. What? What? No.

You know what? It's good. The Wranglers are down the hall. You can go down. Yeah. Get some games in. How do you like to be dead? Confidence.

Right? Yeah. That's why they're there. All you do is play them on the homestand. What's up with that? It's good at home. You blew it! Listen, Dan, I know you love to get boozed up on the road.

But we'll be struggling here. So you're going to play all the road games. An old Dusty will play at home. See, that's what you got to do. that's coaching right there disco dan vladar on the road and wolfie at home how many games do you have to lose in the road before huska figures

this out geez that jack adam's not seems wow that's the problem god he was reading like a press clipping special teams remain not good no no clips anymore I don't know what they're shots not clippings yeah flames are last when we checked in on this a month oh so we're go so they've steadily

moved out but still yeah they're losing the special teams battle. I don't understand. So this is, when you add up all the goals happening on special teams, the other guys have 60% of them. So you want to be at the top. Yeah, you like that nice dark blue that New Jersey's got.

So as good as. As good as the goals on special teams go in the other teams now. That's good as their power play has been the penalty kills kind of. It's been an anchor, Dean. Bringing it back down. Yeah. And to be fair, the power plays only been good for a few weeks. Before that, it was a disaster.

Not ideal. One guy that I think would have. the power play, but hasn't really. Let's go look at some unlucky shooters or guys that maybe just haven't been finishing like they should. There's third from worst in the league. Andre Kuzmanko, four goals lower than is expected.

Oh, but I like that guy just underneath. Hayden? No. Elias? Oh, no. Nine. And I should say, I'm reading that backwards. He's not fourth, third from the bottom. He's like six or seven from the bottom. Nine. Those are the, we've got bad luck, or we're not finishing or both.

I'm looking for it. Jesus. Nine. why did I say nine? I know. Oh, you do? Yeah. I don't have to explain it. No, you're good.

Keep going, Ryan. Back to you. Nine. Stannings. Uh-uh. Flames on the outside looking in, body game and hand on Colorado. Peak sadness.

If a season added today for the good news, Rhett, they've got, by my count, 54 more games to go here. So there's a lot of time. Out of peak sadness. Yeah.

Only three points. When you look down to St. Lewis. That's 10th from the bottom of the league. But we want, we want Anaheim. We want Anaheim. They got Trubes in there now. Yes. Some leadership. Trubidoo do, but do. Young guys are feeling it. I was looking, because they played tonight. I was doing the B. 365. 4-0 and 1 in their last five in the road. They're in Montreal tonight.

San Jose's playing better. You don't want to play against them. The old Radco. Dude, honestly, two of the heaviest hitting blue liners in the sport on the same blue. Get your head on a swivel, boy. If you get your head up, you might be okay. If you don't. That's right. That shitty ice in Anaheim, too. The puck's always bouncing.

You're always looking in your feet. You know what you better not be if you're coming across the middle there. Lolliggin. You better not be a lolliggan. Yeah, I'd agree with that. That's a good schedule. What's coming up? We told you about Nashville.

They're getting piled up right now for sure. Got to play tomorrow night. Is that a happy guy? And then look at the homestand. Tampa, Florida. Why do we have Dallas on there? That was what happened last night. You can't, you know, you just have to.

I didn't know. I'm just, I, I, I, I, I, what? Why do we have Dallas on there? Maybe there was a back to back. You know why? Because you didn't go in and change the graphic, Red. I would if I could. I know you would.

Sitting on my computer last night. Yeah, it's working really hard. You know, it'd be embarrassing. If we go do the show tomorrow and there's Dallas game still showing up on our, on our friggin' call. It's like old. It's five games in a row at home to get them to the Christmas break. you see the first three there Tampa, Florida, Boston.

That's followed by Ottawa, where noodles is going to come watch us get piled up. And then Chicago heading into Christmas. Wasn't that great to hear that noodles commitment to us? You know, what it is, but it's typical noodles. I want to, I, it wasn't a, oh, I can't do it. Well, let me, I got a look into it. Because he did, he grabbed his pen, when is it?

Okay, so what is it? Okay, he was really kind of interested. I think we should get him a referee, jersey and he can just come officiate the whole thing because he sounds like he has to be sober he's got to do that show that or at least not completely go come to yeah i don't get buckled i mean god we're buckled doing this show all the time people all he's got a beer fridge beside us yes we're fill that every drink a beer right now this is coffee come on smart not people i can't believe he didn't go for the door we're met i was anytime we've referenced the fridge he's doing the pirouette to get a couple of beers

He's got the long wingspan. Back to you, right. That is true because the door opens. Which way does a door open this way? Towards me. Yeah, see, it's closer to right. That's your job there. There's a three shot there.

Show everyone what we're getting working with here. I got a big week coming up. I got lots to get done. Lots to get done. I see four rows of chores you got there. Delicious. Lovely. Save the nice tea in there for you too, Dean.

Thanks. I like those iced teas. Appreciate you. some good news, bad news kind of stuff going on. Brad Larson, he's going to, he's away on leave from the team that tend to a family matter. So we send our best to him and hope to see him back soon. All teammate. Is that right?

Yeah. Tell me more. World juniors. And more. That was great. Back to you, Ryan. Thanks, Rhett. On a happier tone, Ryan Longberg was not on the road trip as he's expecting the birth of his third child.

It's his birthday. Say it's your birthday. I don't know. I'm a hot. Are we just going to say it's his birthday and that's it? Do this. Is there any follow-up? How old is he?

You got a guess. I don't give a shit. Then we're not telling you. 29. Okay. I think that's a good guess. Let's keep moving. Anzee Kopitar played game 1400 on the,

like that. How about this? even 700 at all. Shut the fuck door. Even 700 on the road. 1400 even for Anse. This was, I believe, Friday night. FML. Unbelievable.

impressive stuff. You hate him. Don't hate him. Years and years and years ago, years ago, Jack, Pinder said that literally, Conze is terrible and washed up. This is why I enjoy working with these guys. There's no hyperbole at all.

He was coming off a 12-goal season. I said he has passed his prime. played his best hockey he came out and scored like 40 the next year and it has never died since and and true to form you're underselling it a bit in in pinder fashion it's not that i think he's passed his prize he was washed he was this he was that and then had yeah he went from 12 he's played his best talk he went from yeah you can remember it verbatim uh 12 goals and 52 points to fuck you pinder 35 goals and 92 points awesome a 40 point improvement awesome and all we could do is just play like the the king's goal horse

Scars! Quang! Is he going to score 30? No, 35. Yeah, he was an absolute beast and remains very, very good. So, T's and P is to me for thinking that he was past his pride in that year. He went out and had his best year. How many years ago was that? Probably six or seven.

That was in 1617. Yeah, eight years ago. Wow. Isn't that trouble? He's had about 150 goals since then. It's not a. Just a 35, 22, 21. 19, 28, 26.

Tom Wilson had a vibe going on the weekend. I don't know if you saw that. You tell me. Oh, Tom, after. Lying a band. Just like Brian.

Rosen took a puck. A decision to come back in the game. Yeah, it's my first time seeing it on the screen. It doesn't look so, so hot here. But, you know what?

I think, you know, my dad always told me if you're, if you're good to play, you play. So went to the room, got checked out, and felt good enough to get back out there. And, you know, it's a team sport and just boys rally to got it done. So that is the freezing.

Does he get stitches there? I don't think he's stitches. He's got a puck. He took a puck. Wow. But if you get stitches. Well, I don't know if you got stitches. Snitch is swelling.

Snitches get stitched. And then scored two. as you said, the game tying a game winning goal with after taking a puck right in the face meet. Well, we had a kid block a shot and get hurt on the weekend. And I ridiculed. I said, you're fine. And he yelled at me and said, why are you mad at me? I blocked a shot.

And then he showed me his shit and pet after and it was broke the cap. So, Carson, I'm sorry. Yeah. Just trying to keep you motivated. It really hurt, coach. You're fine. You're fine. When I was your age, we played with.

newspapers rolled around our shit. Team Spartan, if you're broken ship. That's good. Yeah. Back to you, right? How's that going to feel when they get to altitude on the flight home?

Remember in one of the first, it was a 24-7, I think it was Pittsburgh, Washington, where I think it was the torts, the Shirley, the hell we can surely to fuck we can deal with this. Or yeah, Boudreau. When Ben Lovejoy had taken a puck or something, and

he was on the plane and Crosby was sitting he's like on as they're playing a gamer so he looks up Jesus, Benny what's on with and his face is just the the altitude made his face explode. Just twisting the toy dogs. Wasn't there something with your friggin face or something? I've done it. That's happened. Yeah.

Your orbital bone. Yeah. Don't get it all. Tonight lighter slate. I think three games as many is what five teams playing. Dean. Here we all that said look. Yep.

Aakers doesn't. Two of those teams in the Atlantic. They sure would love to make the playoffs, but you're playing in the Atlantic. Sorry, guys. Why the sabers and wings are just true. Who can suck more? Are they back in the skids?

Oh, the sabers swept that California road swing. And then you're like, oh, they're feeling it. They're not feeling it. No. Not feeling it. Original six matchup. You know what it is? It's winter and Buffalo.

Is it? It's, you know, it's not helping. I was reading, sorry, jump in. I was reading how, what's going on with the, bills you know it's also cold for the football team and it's also buffalo and the same

living situations for the bills as it is for the sabers and if players can actually choose to go there and perform and play well and you can now people are hey this is great we love buffalo and look at bills mafia it's tougher for kevin adams because you're like well just over there those guys are making the most of it well and this is all in the heels he he spoke publicly and said this is not a sexy destination we don't have palm trees our taxes aren't nearly as competitive as other places we have to win to solve it and that's it's exactly right no one wanted to go to buffalo and they weren't winning football everyone wants to go now you got josh allen your chance won to win a super bowl go ahead right was pretty good last night those

when did he engaged this morning lost last week a week ago because i know they were winning last week and he was he took a knee and wasn't good that last week three and three else yesterday Have you seen this before? No. Teddy bear toss, you've seen. Yeah. Line Burl you've seen. But have you ever seen a teddy bear line brawl?

Let's go check it out. Barry and Ottawa, I believe it's. The bears are coming down. And it's not just bears getting tossed. I got some rights. Look at the Grinch is out there. He's loving it. Grinch is so stupid.

He doesn't even realize that there's a fight going on. It might not. No, he's starting to back up here later. He's just like, oh, boy. Raff's got their hands. Should I get closer further? What do I do here? Get in there.

Yeah. I came with a package. It's boxes for bags. This is the new age line, bro. Yeah, not as gory as your age. Lucky for me. Lucky for them, I'd say. Let's go to the NFL.

Hey, fellas, come on. Knock it off. Another week in the books. Stupid chiefs. the night game. We got one more game tonight. It'll be Dallas, Cincinnati. I don't even like you to. Sueered me. What did I do?

Carry on. Brett was hot and I copied his picks. You screwed me. No. We'll talk about our picks tomorrow. Your reminder, though, as bad as our picks went, at least we're not the Jets. Because in the big four sports, that would be NBA, NFL, Major League Baseball, and the NHL.

Have you made the playoffs once in the last 14 years? At least once. Just, well, of course. That's an insane amount of time. That's the answer for every single team. Even the sabers are in there.

That's right. Even the sabers. Not next year. Holy. For the Jets? No. That is incredible. Everyone's copying Jekuda here.

These are Kudabang. They're good. Yeah. Do you see the Vikings touchdown celebration? I did. I'm not. No, did you see the movie it was for?

from is a blonde girl? Yeah, it's, so bottom of the screen rat is the movie. Okay. And the top is in the end zone. This is some serious career. I think it's the Wayans brothers. They dress up as. Blonde girls.

Spin around. I mean, it's terrific. Oh. I mean, it's terrific. It's really good. Good for the right. Love it. It's terrific.

Do you have a movie review for us, Blonde girls? No. No, I don't. I just. Thumbs up, thumbs down or just good dance. Foot hook's pretty good. I like that.

This is like this one, the flip. Flip's epic. Now, because the question, where were you practicing and for how long? In the locker room, away from the guy on the field.

Were you doing it as a surprise to the guys? Like, we get the touchdown, but don't, don't let anybody see. We're going to do the blonde girl. What's the blonde girl saying? Well,

here, I'll show you a clip. Okay, that looks great. And then I mean, there's some serious choreography. he had practiced there. That's awesome.

Probably got a flag for it. Do we have another touchdown dance or no? Were we in the Lions? Got the Peyton Manning. Oh, this is good. Okay, so the Lions were once a cursed franchise. Now they're Super Bowl fairs. Everyone loves the Lions because they were so bad for so long.

You felt bad for them. And now they're actually good. Last year they erased like a half century of miserable play. Even just getting to what? The NFC championship game where they lost. Peyton Manning performed like an exercise. of the stadium before all this turned around. It's Peyton that fixed him. Check it out.

Why the fuck is there a bathtub in the end zone of Ford Field? Am I own drugs? Trust me, Jeff. Google curse-breaking spell, and you'll come up with this. Fill a tub with 100 cups of water and a cup of salt. Doesn't smell like water. Because it's whiskey. Bobby Lane would have preferred that.

If this stuff really works, why didn't you use it to put a hex on the Patriots? Belichick's dart magic. It was just too strong. Now pour the salt in the whiskey. We're going to salt it. Why don't you just use tequila? Just do it, newsroom. Nice. Now light it on fire.

Now what? I'm not going to, what, light? Yes. No. This is the problem. This is why the curse won't end. You guys won't go the extra mile. Here, read this mystical incantation instead. In the name of Motown, Eminem, and Ed McMahon. all upon thee of creatures of earth and whiskey cleanse the Detroit lions of the curse of Bobby lane

and restore the roar of the lion bride and help so low to be 31 and nine cents boys tough to argue that yeah i could watch the guy all day um patens so great it's very good a dry just do it news room. Bad news, Dean. I'm sorry. Very, very sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm actually not sorry. Juan Soto's going to the Mets. He's choosing the other New York team. Yankees offered almost the exact same amount of money in one more year. And he said, yeah, I'll just go to Queens instead of the Bronx. Yeah, he's gone.

Odd. Here's Newsday. In outbidding the Yankees for Juan Soto, Mets owner, Steve Cohen, has already achieved something no one really thought was possible. possible in flushing New York because now when it comes to New York baseball, the little brother resides in the Bronx. I mean, that's one opinion, but he is spending more on his payroll. He did bring in a guy that wore pinstripes last year all the way to the World Series. And what else? Well, here's Jeff Passon on ESPN saying, yeah, Soto in the end, looked at the Mets future and looked at the Yankees future and decided he thought the Mets future is better. This is maybe a passing of the torch, maybe it's everyone overreacting.

This is not Dean's Yankees. guys used to outbid everyone for everything. Now they can't win a bit on anyone. I'll maybe judge, I guess. Well, they can. They just, they either choose not to. Right. Or my point, exactly. George, how's a pussy. Oh, it is.

What's, when did it start? When did it start? Probably exactly there when the old Steinbrenner, George, passed away. Poor George. Let's go back to that last one. One soda was tried to be. Some billion. comes in, buys the Mets, and then

take it our guys. Some billionaires worth way more than Steinbrenner. Once so to turn out $440 million bucks two years ago, boys. You agreed to one deal yesterday that could go upwards of $800 million with escalators. Bet on yourself? Okay. It's like us. Yeah.

That's right. Because we used to make $44 and now we're making $80. No. Oh my God. It's weird how everyone is very, inspirational and motivational and you bet on yourself bet on yourself gd yeah come on why how why wouldn't you he'll find some of the people that didn't that didn't work out well was that's that Kevin LeBank took the one-year deal but he still tell everybody what was it

like when they go all in who's that pitcher for the back of the day that went all in on the the game the video game oh kirt show chilling. Yeah, bet on your video games. Yeah, bet on yourself. How about John Clemberg, turned down 60 million bucks from the stars? Yep.

I want Hayskin and money. Oh, yeah. You're going to get two more years in the league and then you're cooked. You're on Robida Island. Yeah. It doesn't always work out, though. And there's your World Series odds

is the Mets have now leapfrog the Yankees and the Braves. Dodgers and Mets, two biggest wallets in the majors. Team game, Dean. It's a team game. Don't worry about it's just one player. trouble is we just watch that player be tremendous in the postseason.

Orchance, yeah. Eap! Yeah, but now he'll get all fat and sassy. You know, he probably should be getting really fat and sassy. He's a lot he's agent. Yeah. What's he asking for? Because if it was 300 million or 400 million, like a year ago, what's it now?

Well, that's good because the Js are, they're in on everyone. Oh, yeah, they do it right there. They were definitely their. presenting money. I don't know that he was ever to take it. What a bunch of. They want guys, but wanting's different than getting. Hey, we'd love to have you. We'll pay you less, but you can come to Canada.

Play in Toronto. I did not see them as real threats, but they did offer real money. I mean, look, he can play in New York. You play Toronto. Come on now. What does that mean? I think he likes New York, the city.

If you can play in New York, you can play in Toronto. Or you can play in Toronto. Oh, I. see. He's going to, yeah, like if you're picking markets. Gotcha. That would be the king of, Drake started the King of Toronto. He can't beat that.

King of here. A lot of money. Insane. And just a quick note for people, say, oh, he made more than Shohei. Shohei's deal was valued at 437 million by the PA because he essentially is loaning the Dodgers a half billion dollars for 20 years. Oh, my God.

Now, it's good for him for tax reasons. Yeah, it is. But when you look at 750 whatever compared to 400 and 40 like this is. Somebody did the, the, oh, Taddy one looks like a deal. Someone did the math on it. You're basically making about six grand an hour for 15 years. Jack?

Is that kind of... Six grand an hour. You okay with that? An hour. I'll take like a percent of that. Alive, dead, asleep, awake, pooping, peeing, work, whatever. Boy, that's good sleep. I got made 60 grand.

Oh, wow. Yeah, I just laid down for a nap. Honey? 100 grand. You're watching the movie? we land in an hour. I'm just going to make six grand. That's awesome.

Congrats. We're getting on himself. All right. Enough soda. Enough baseball. It gets to some, well, actually,

you know what? Let's stay with baseball because you've heard of the nine-inning challenge, nine beers, nine dogs, nine innings. Some idiot tried to double that. God have mercy upon his soul. 15?

18 beers, 18 hot dogs, and nine innings. Cheers. It's number one with a t-shirt, right? Congratulations. Three beers down, three hot dogs down. Hot-thog five and beer number five.

Yeah! Yeah! Gatts me! Ghibit number seven is down. Beer number seven. See ya. Oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh.

I was feeling rough for a little bit, but I'm starting to feel a little bit better. Beer number eight. Oh, Dene. Oh! No! That's gonna help. Like nothing ever happened. That's gonna help.

It's based. 10 hot dogs down. Beer number 10. Oh, shit. Hot dog 12. Beer 12 down the heck. Oh, he's not showing good. Hot dog that's down.

That's a crowd man. Yeah, he didn't get him. Thank goodness he had that zippy bag. Yeah, it's like you knew it was going to happen. You know what? Now, as I'm watching that, all two things. This is Pinder. The hair is beautiful.

And why, I mean, everything about that is you. I mean, loud and all that sort of like how you haven't done this or why we're not getting you to do this. See, I feel like if I did it, I'd be incredibly reprimanded. But also if I don't do it, I'm getting reprimanded. I really can't win. I may as well just do it. Is there any way you could play it again? And now let's just everybody see it through the, you know, the vision, the God.

18. This is Ryan Pindler. In nine innings. It's not. Congratulations. Three beers down. Three hot dogs down. Hot dog five and beer number five.

It's pure pinmer. It's number seven is down. Beer number seven. See ya. Oh, no. I'm starting to feel a little bit, but I'm starting to feel a little bit better. You're number eight. I'm telling you, we need a ball team in Calgary.

There's a lot of reasons why. That's just one. Some billionaire, get us a ball team. Just come South Dakota's great. Yeah, they don't want that there. No, they don't. They really don't want that there. We need like the Beltline booze.

That's said. Stadium somewhere close to downtown. What would the number be? Well, if it's light American beer, I think you could do 15. Oh, the dogs would be too high. 12. It's a dog. You, like, it's not the beer.

It's the dogs. It's 100% the dogs. Yeah. Are we allowing it? Yeah, and it depends what kind of rules. Can you do the joy chestnut water dunk? Because that would help. Okay, can we?

I don't think it. It's a spring conversation. Not unless we'll do it in here. We'll live stream it. You'll watch it. a game. We'll have the dogs and the beers. Canada.

You know what it is? It's the Jay's season opener because that's always a big piss up. Yeah, but you, I don't think no establishment is going to want that. I know what they're signing up for. If that's the case, then we, we must. 12 is, 12 or 15?

12. Nine innings. We had a pint per inning pace with shots for home runs a few years ago. That thing got ugly. Because I saw you, The dog's going to be challenged. I saw you doing chicken nuggets, and that was... Oh, pain.

Not a... A similar look, though. 43, 42. Similar look. You know what, though? I know you can do it. Stop it. I have faith in you.

I'm... Hey, Dean. You could do it. Uh, it looks like the shoveler was out of her golf cart. And probably had to do that and... Before she came home. Yeah, here, hey. I don't know why she's got for...

That's tough, but not a quitter, right? No. No, no. It's going away on you. Come on now. Get in there. Where in Florida is this? Oh, I was going to say, what the hell just happened?

I ran into your house. Is my phone? Yes, your house. Your phone is in here. Okay. You're okay? Yes, I'm fine. But also, I started the back of it up, but then I ran into your house again.

This is why we need her in the winter climate. It keeps her off the, you. We need her to do the 12 beer, 12 hot dog challenge with you. Yeah, sure. Yeah, more than merrier. Yeah, I think that's how those go for sure. All right, 92, what do we got here? We got some guy that took his shoes and he's turned them to be able to slide like a skateboard, which is kind of cool.

He put like it looks like the side is a little coffee. Yeah, that plastic coffee. Oh. Yeah, let's go get it. Oh, holy smokes. That leads us into our daily Retskidskits and parkour. Are those hockey bags? It doesn't look like some sort of storage facility there.

Red's kids doing parkour, let's go. Jumping over the pond. Always cute. Oh, no. Head and the splits. As Mike Gould. I thought he was more athletic than that. Ouch.

Oh. Oh, just a head bang there. Maybe that is athletic. Look at the splits. Like. It's not what he's going for, I don't think. You guys ever had a job to paint? You ever painted?

I mean, sure do. I used to paint as a summer job. I never really liked the ladders, though. Let's take a look at this. You got to take that too. Yeah. So there is painting. I do love that too.

Hang on. Whoa now. What are you come on? Ah! Oh my God! You need those horse blinders. Just focus on the pain. Like, I need, like one, I can't.

Brett, I don't like heights. Don't like at all. Can we press pause? Yep. Three left, so we'll leave those till the other side of it. Perfect. Perfect. Frank missed the puking.

Hot dog eater. I believe it. 18 dogs, 18 beers, too many for nine innings. If anybody would have appreciated that, that'd be frank. Who joins us?

Hi, Frankie Boy. So I don't want to shock anyone, but I've actually done the nine-in-nine challenge. Of course you have. Give us details. Hey,

Dollar Dog Night at the Phillies game. I mean, you can't, you can't beat that. You got to go nine, nine innings, nine dogs. How many honks? That part will leave to miss. So more than zero. Okay, because Dean's trying to get me on the spot committed to something. I think I could do 1212. Well, we had a video of a guy who was going to double it. He wanted to do 18 and 18. He was a disaster.

He, I mean, he puked and rallied at least once or twice to his credit, I suppose. But how difficult, what was it, was it easy? I mean, the honking would happen after. Did you complete the nine by nine? Yes. And then trubs. No, no. I mean, I was, I'd say I was a finely conditioned competitor.

Years of, yeah, yeah. This is not for amateurs. I mean, boom, you've seen me put down the extra double meat cheese. I did see that, yeah. And you know what, having been in Philly, you'd be in good company. I would think with people who have had no problem knocking down the nine, the nine by nine challenge. It's kind of a problem.

Yeah, it's all good. Do you think I could do the nine nine? I mean, look, you're a talented guy. I haven't seen anyone quite manage themselves like you can. So I'd say you have a chance. Okay, thank you. What is it, a unique set of skills or whatever it is?

He's got it. He's got it. So the Board of Governors are meeting led to believe there's kind of nothing of real substance going on. It's just they're getting together and having a chinwag or what's happening? Well, this is their last meeting. before the NHL is set to begin CBA negotiations in the new year. From a public point of view or a fan point of view,

there may not be anything super newsworthy or interesting, although we kind of had Michael Anlauer, the owner of the Sends here, kind of drop a little napalm on his way into the meeting by saying he basically alleged the New York Rangers without saying their team name of, quote, soft tampering today. which I found fascinating.

We can dive into that. But from a pure public perspective, there may not be anything really newsworthy or noteworthy, but I can tell you, you come to these things and you really never know. It was here not that long ago where Gary Betman came out and out of the clear blue skies said,

hey, we're going to open a ticket drive for Vegas. So you just never know, which is why I show up every year. So let's get into what you were talking about then. We saw Larry Brooks on Friday, noting that this whole Rangers, Truba mentioning names, like they really want Brady Kachuk. Now, he isn't a member of the New York Rangers,

but he's very close to. Is there a case for the sense to be more than just frustrated or upset about the leak? I don't think so. I mean, so what? Every trade rumor now that exists is going to be considered soft tampering. And by the way, Brooks kind of mentioned in his reporting over the weekend, And if you read the last few paragraphs of one of his columns, that, okay, maybe the Rangers weren't interested in Brady Kachuk, but I could see them being interested in a player like that.

And it's like, okay, if you're a reporter and you're connecting A to B to C, first off, it's not that difficult to do. And second, that's not tampering unless someone from the Rangers organization, even if they did specifically told you that they were interested in the player. As a media member, that's not tampering. What actually is tampering is when you have a team contacting a player or going to his agent or whatever it might be, that's real tampering. There is, I don't even, whatever you want to call this, soft tampering, fake tampering,

whatever, it's a pain in the arse for the Sends, but this isn't a real thing. Oh, and if I'm the Rangers, I love it. like just go go drop that little nugget into Brady's lap. Oh, hey, I'm sure Kanata's nice in December, but, you know, the Rangers here on Broadway, they like you. Like, keep that going. That's, and that's really the issue, I think from the Sends perspective is like, hey, you may not be actually talking to him,

and you may not even have called us on him because the Sends were clear and the Rangers have been clear to me that they have not had one conversation about Brady Kachuk and Michael Ann Lauer said on the Rans. record today to Pierre LeBron that there has not been one conversation about Brady Kachuk. But their concern is, okay, well, you're just dropping crumbs for Brady Kachuk or someone else to pick up to say, hey, the Rangers could be a team if you decide at some point that you want out that would love to get their hands on you. But that's like saying, hey, we, you know, there's a lot of teams that would like Connor McDavid. I was going to say if it doesn't want

if the media were potentially guilty are going to be on the hook for tampering, then no one. was more guilty than Ryan Pinder in connecting Leon Drysitle to anybody but Edmonton in the final year. Oh, I'm McDavid to anywhere, but Edmonton's in a year two. Is that coming up? Well, I'm just working hard. Watch tampering. Just trying the back channel here. Watch out for that soft tamper.

Just trying to will it into existence. So the Rangers did issue a statement to me today and said, this is, quote, this is an irresponsible accusation and we defer to the commissioner's office. I love that they called it an irresponsible accusation because I think that's correct. the team cannot control what comes out of a reporter's mouth or what goes on a reporter's report. It just, that's not how it works. Yeah. So how does it work with the board of governors?

Because I was reading LeBron that so you've got, you've got the board of it. But then there's the, this like special super important group with. The actual ones. Jacobs and I understand Murray Edwards is there. So what are the, what are the rest of the guys do? What do the rest of the board of governors do while the super important governors are meeting? they lounge at the pool, get lunch. And then when they get in the room, it's, hey, you're really happy to be here and please sit here and keep your mouth shut.

Yeah. And I would think for some of those guys, I never get treated like this anywhere else in life. I'm a very successful businessman. I'm a sports team owner. Billionaire. I'll just sit here and drink my water. Gary, back to you. Be a little humbling, I would think.

It is kind of funny though. If you go in the room and I don't know exactly if it's the setup now, but they have one of those things where you actually have to press the button to speak and then they're like you get either a red light or a green light. No, no, no. You have to like quite literally put in the request to speak. And if you don't get the green light granted, then it just remains red. Dean tried that on our show with me. It didn't go. I keep waiting.

Yeah. It's like the Brazilian steakhouse. Just never, never stops. Yeah. Flames are in Nashville tomorrow. The Predators, what do we say, six straight losses? I think they're 04 and 3, their last seven. Something like that.

Is it just, I mean, is it irresponsible to talk about Andrew Brunette? Does it coaching change, change anything there? What's your kind of, what are you hearing or what's your sense on what's happened in Nashville? It's been a disaster. I think it's the last thing Barry Trots would like to do. to be honest, and I did hear over the weekend that they were pretty deep in conversations with a few different teams on potential moves. I think they're kind of paralyzed right now, is my understanding that they'd like to do something. They don't quite know what the right

move to make is. Is it possible to salvage this season? Do we need to make a coaching change? These are all legitimate questions that the Preds are asking themselves and Barry Trots is today. I mean, it's about as ugly as it could possibly get. And we've now reached this point where it is a significant mathematical improbability that this team could even make their way back into the playoff chase. It's kind of that far gone. One guy saw it coming. One guy.

Just one, Frank. Just one guy. I did not. I'm going to be honest. I picked the Preds to finish second in the division, the division. and I was thinking that this team with this much better collection of talent would be better than they were last year, which ended up being a pretty decent team that probably should have beat the Canucks in the first round, that now you look at it, I don't know how they get back up from here.

They're old and they're committed. And if you didn't make it in year one of this build, year four is going to look eight times worse. Yeah, you got to expect diminishing returns from the guys that are getting deeper into their 30s. So how then do we judge what Barry Trotz has done? We've liked his aggressiveness. He won the off season, which seems to be a kiss of death. It's like one of the Jack Adams. Did he overplay the hand?

Is there a way he can get out of this mess without eating salary along the way? None of these guys have lived up to it. Well, I think the thing is what surprises me the most is that is how quickly they, they changed because I mean, I'm not exaggerating here. It was 13 months ago. And you can go back and listen to it. I was at Hall of Fame weekend. I had them on my podcast.

And he said, we're three years away from being a good team. We're rebuilding. We're working through it. And then they went on this unbelievable 15 game run last year and actually looked on the other end of it like a pretty decent team. And I think they either got intoxicated or swayed by that thinking, hey, maybe were not that far away. And then first came the Soros extension, which I thought was a long time to extend a guy that turns 30 when it starts. Then these other moves that took place,

and they didn't really address any of the core fundamental issues of the team, which are, hey, we don't have any centers here. Ryan O'Reilly is a nice piece, but he's a 3C on a true contending team. And that's a really tough spot to be in now after spending all that, to then turn around and kind of like, I don't know if he said the quiet part out loud, but saying, hey, we might have to rebuild. Like, you were already on the path to rebuilding. Then you made a sudden right turn. And then all of a sudden, now you're back to where you began.

That can't possibly be the case. It almost kind of reminds me of the Ottawa senators trading for Matt Dushin. And then six months later declaring that they were going to rebuild. like if you're going to have a plan you got to stick with it and be consistent and you can't sway from that and I think that's the biggest thing that the Preds are guilty of more than anything they have three firsts which is intriguing how could that help them because clearly those are very valuable assets their own pick looks incredibly high this year yeah I mean that's the one kind of perplexing thing, I would say, is you could unload those picks right now and undoubtedly

make your team better. But are you convinced that moving those picks is the right play to try and salvage the damage that you've already done to your own roster? Or is the organization from a holistic perspective actually better off taking their medicine, keeping all three picks? And unfortunately for them happens to be in what many consider to be a below average draft class and go through that process and wait three to five years before those guys are actually making an impact if you hit on them or do you just blow it all up and say we're committed we're it's like poker hey we're pot committed we've got this group that we've signed a hundred million dollars to in the off season we've got to try and fix it i i truly don't know what the right answer is because even in a perfect

if you hit on those picks, it still might be a long time before they help you. It might not be in the role anymore. So is it a talent issue or a chemistry issue or a coaching issue? I mean, all of those issues, why aren't they better? It's not a cop out to say I think that it's all of those things. I really do think there's a hole in that roster at center. Yeah. I do think that there's a chemistry issue.

I don't think Stephen Stamco's is right. I don't. It's not to say he doesn't want to be. part of the solution or anything like that. I think this move has been way harder on him than he would even let in on. I can't, I can start to see just in, in French translation, reading between the lines about Jonathan Marcioso and how he's been frustrated with all these different linemates that he's been playing with.

So you read between the lines and then that brings you then to the coach, is the coach getting the most out of this group? Like, I think all three of those things are factors at once. Ouch. We start with the Rangers. I just want to double back. A lot was said with the Truba stuff between Thursday, Friday, and then over the weekend. And I mean, Chris Drury is being painted as a big villain here.

How could you do this to your captain, that whole thing? Did he do Truba as dirty as in your eyes as some are making it seem? He, it's not like he took something or put something into the contract that wasn't there, that he exercised some option that was against the rule. Truba's getting his money. He's going to get paid to live in. I mean, it's not as bad in the eyes of some people as it is in others who really have vilified drury here. I mean, I think in the end, he actually comes out looking pretty good.

I know that's not how a lot of players might view it or even how the NHLPA might view it. But Truba had a contract that on July 1, that specific right to not be waived, it was long. So if you wanted to retain that right through the entirety of your eight-year deal, it was on you and your agent to negotiate that. And even if it meant taking less on your AAB or whatever it is, a few less dollars to have the security where you hold the iron fist, then that's on you to negotiate. That said, I don't think anything should come in the way of an organization executing whatever it is possible to do what they need to make their team better. And he may look like a bad guy, but as one GM in this league likes to say, if you want loyalty,

get a dog. Because that's just not how life works. That's not how general business works. And yeah, was Jacob Truba in a tough spot with his wife finishing her residency this year? Yeah, that sucks. It's a tough place to be in. is is Jacob Truba and his wife, are they going to be the only family that's commuting by coastal this year to see each other?

No, they're not. And he's a really high paid athlete at that. So you make the choice. Do you want to play or do you want to pout? And if you want to play, you had lots of options on the table to be closer. You could have gone to Columbus. You could have gone to Buffalo. You could have gone somewhere else.

You felt like Anaheim was the best choice for you. And that's okay. It's great that you even got a choice. but you lost the right to say no to waivers when that clause expired in your deal on July 1. Kind of like this for Annam. I know he's not anything what he used to be. But you're young. It's this year,

next year. They've got all kinds of cap space. And it's a group that didn't have, I think, a real leader of men. I mean, you've certainly got Colorn and Goudis that are older, but are they big minute guys that can really, like I think this is exactly what Anheimer's look for. There might not be a more Pat for big player than Jacob True.

here for the next year and a half as a duck. Okay, great. But just tell me why the Anaheim ducks bailed out the New York Rangers. Yeah, and look, it's the same way I felt about the CC deal with San Jose. Like I could see why San Jose likes the player, but it certainly helped another team, no question. Yeah. And that's the part that I come back to is as much as Pat Verbeek wanted to help the Anaheim ducks and feels that this player may be a difference maker for them.

The truth is, just last summer, we had players that had 3.4.4. million dollars left on their deal per year for two years require a second round pick to get moved in order for that player to change hands. I'm talking about Jake Wallman. This time around, it's Jacob Truba also going from one coast to the other, and he's got eight million left this year and next. And you give them assets to do it. I just, I know it wasn't much, but the fact, this is why I said Chris Drury ended up coming out ahead, you were able to get off of that deal by actually getting Friday is Hawaii.

Sorry, Frank, fat fingers. I hit my sound board. I was saying Friday's. I did not do that on purpose. I did not do that on purpose. Not trying to walk in. Mrs. Boom is a lucky lady. Hey, I'm with you.

And just to put it like, I'm totally agreement. Like Drury has had to be pretty. psychotic in a sense, like you always say, like you've got to be cutthroat. But look what he's done with Barclay Goodrow and Jacob Tribor, two of the least efficient contracts he had on his books a year ago. They're both gone. And now if you're counting at home between now and March 7th,

if the Rangers don't do anything, they'll have $27 million in cap space to spend just at this deadline alone, not to mention the idea that they've now cleared up a huge turtle and all of the money that you just moved off the books for for truba now you can slide a big chunk of that to shasturkin for his raise and all of a sudden it's not really painful and you can see a path forward yeah you're left on panarin if he wants to stay they can do that you could make a run at a superstar who's up in a year we'll see they're trying planting it's already it's it's really good soft so soft soft so uh what what happens this afternoon for you because i know yeah i'm gonna go sit in the lobby and wait for this meeting to break up.

That's what it is. I don't know if people, they think it's, it's glamorous. You're down in wherever the hell you are in Florida and you're at the four seasons this and the, you sit and wait and sit and sit and sit until they choose or not choose to talk to you. Well, and the best part is usually today, the commissioner will come out and say, not today fellas and i'll talk to you tomorrow and so you're like okay well we're here like

please hi and uh yeah that part is not fun and i'm also yeah it's not clamorous fat guy in a suit in uh 27 degree weather and yeah staying at a roadside motel it's tremendous it's tremendous you're not staying at the fancy place you're not at the fancy place i let you on those grounds they do let i mean when you dress the part they don't say anything there you go see you're wise beyond you years appreciate you frankie boy good luck with uh bethman tomorrow see you guys there you go frank sirverly n hl insider joining us on the crystal waters insider hotline don't i mean if you're weird the timing of that whole truba thing i like we did the show and then boom everything collapses it feels like it was ages ago yeah it was a long time ago

but I'm kind of with you. I guess I didn't really look at it from the why is Anaheim doing them a favor kind of thing. They are, but they don't care about it. Pat Verbeek cares about his team. Yeah, we're getting a leader for all these young players. Hard nose defensemen the plays minutes that

seems to have a decent reputation. Hell yeah. I mean, the Rangers are in tears talking about him leaving. Great captain. Sucked it out to go this way. But I mean, if you're Pat Verbeek and you've got all these young guys, I remember they one year they had,

defense for the year in the O, the dub, and the Q. And then they get Leo Carlson at two. You know, they just took that Ben at Seneca, who's been on an absolute heater. Hockey Canada, just invited him to the camp for as another injury replacement. I think he had 14 points in three games after the snub or something hilarious like that.

Like, you need someone to show these young guys what it is to be a pro and not just to be skilled and we're young. Like you need that leader. And Truba's literally been a captain, one of the tougher markets in the league to do it for, what, eight years, six years? Like, I don't know, I'm overhyping. He might be a four or five at this point of his career,

but he's incredibly physical and he's a leader. So we had Frank there. It was kind of whenever Frank was going to have time. So we jumped in. We'll get back now to the Pinda report. I know that you had some breaking news and some very important stuff still to get to. That's right. Inside the Pinder report.

So for Village Honda, we jump back into the Pinder report. Yeah, back to the Vellodrome we go, guys. You know the Vellodrome? Is this the Vellodrome? This is now the Veyladrum. This is the shovelers pal. they all hang out.

This is Bob. This is Bob, a warm weather shoveler. He's got the, is a spade? What do you call the square? Yeah, he doesn't use the ice scraper.

It's a spade. Hey, different shovel. Let's check it out. He's got to get me. Oh. What you glad? We're back to this.

Like, do they, I was going to, do they see themselves? He was going to jump up on the brick. It would be a hell of a trick. But, well,

he did line on the brick. Oh, He got his weight leaning forwarding. His sternum. Yeah, that's not bruised. Took a brick right to your sternum. I saw some pro, like the off the beaten path wrestling where they just do horrible things. Like slime each other on cinder blocks.

They got us. Yeah, but some of those are. No, they didn't. The centerbox did not. Are they gimmicked? Oh, the amount of pain of blood. I didn't think it was. Secondary wrestling markets.

Those guys are in it. Yeah, they got big money for fake cinder blocks. They are in it. They have to impress. so they can move up the ranks. Back to the Velodrome, Dean. You know what a Velodrome is, of course? He's a big biker.

There's see. You got tights like that. This is Dean a few years ago when he was biking every day. It looks like he's at the top and the blue. He gets tangled with the other rider. Stop peddling. Are those the cheap seats in the bedroom? Stop pedaling.

Oh, boy, that is. What are the odds? Your first time ever going to the Velodrome and two idiots land on you at 60K an hour. You know what? That's what you get. Hey, is that an ice cream truck? Here. I love ice cream.

Go-blam. Oh, they need a better fence, dude. Got a pee, got to pee, got to pee. All right. We got one. We got two left. Well, Snake is the last one, I think. Yeah.

He's not able 99. Yeah. Done with the snakes for the one. This guy, this guy, he doesn't really care for us. Watch this. He got all these tricks. He don't, he don't like that. like us. I know this.

I've seen this guy. I think this guy hangs out with some of the booze guy. Cheeky. Just, yeah, that's it. Now we'll close out the Pinda Report with a video called Snake for our good pal, Dean. This looks like, it looks like a house pet.

Oh, you're fighting. Friends here. No problems here. Oh, dear. I should have washed my hands. I should have washed my hands. Yeah, you got to, don't, his hand in the bucket of chicken and then you forgot to wash.

I wasn't really watching. Snake. Well, we showed again. Oh, there it is. I just think, yeah,

I should have washed my hands. Always wash your hands, Dean, for playing with your snake. That's your pin to report. Got to get our Aussie quota in there for the family, I guess. Yeah.

Coming soon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Clearly. Village Honda. Located in the Northwest Automol,

online at village honda.com. The year end pre-owned sale is on now. Whatever did that happen to that fat hippo? Oh, Mudang? Yeah. We'll get you an update tomorrow. Because that was the baby, right?

Yeah, it can't be a baby forever. It's a hippo. Yeah. We're going to be cute. Yeah, big hippo. They reached out to our sales team and we did a heavy run there for a bit. Yeah, they sure did. See if they were new. Yeah.

Well, you know, let's do this one first. You were talking about Ausea Kopitar game 1,400, 700 and 700. Even Stephen. I believe the game was Saturday. And it was kind of a big deal, you know. You never know who might show up for a... L.A.? What kind of movie stars or famous folk might show up for a big game.

Could you come right behind us here? Can you come behind us? I love it. There he comes. Here he comes. Bring the smile behind us. Yeah, let's get back here. Just right in the middle. Right in the middle.

Get right, stand right here. Daryl just want you to know. Yeah, we love you. How are you? Very well. That's awesome, buddy. First time in here as a fan. First time as a fan?

Yes. Awesome. I don't know how you're walking around. I don't know how you're walking around here. It's tough to get up here. We love you. We miss you. And it's great to see Chris.

Have a great time tonight. Thank you, Derri. Yeah. We love all you guys too. All right. Love it. Yes, back in L.A. What were you saying?

You think maybe it was a couple of whiskeys in there? Super happy. They serve drinks here? I've never been in his ears of a fan before. I didn't even know, what's this? Use your credit card. You get a drink? Oh my goodness.

That's amazing how this works. Now this, I mean, this kind of an overplayed thing. everyone gets all excited about the e-bug when a goalie gets in and that sort of thing. This one is interesting. It involved the Seattle Cracken. They were in New York to play the Rangers, Madison Square Garden. Joey DeCord fell ill overnight. Son up.

Ruled out, Dan Bilesma, the coach, said he was unable to keep food down. Just like the hot dog guy. Yeah, just like that guy. Their minor league affiliate, Coachella Valley, they're in San Jose. A long way manas and square garden change just a coast 1 o'clock

Eastern start oh you're not making it now every NHL team maintains a list of emergency goalies that are in that home market now this guy actually played with Brennan Baxendahl

who is the Crackens team manager he's like you know what I got a guy I played with a guy I think he lives here Men's League take a look of this this is this is

Michael Matias he's from Calgary now lives in New York he played some college hockey I mean it was a long time ago for Anchorage Sea wolves

he's he appears his last college action was February 15th of 2015 for the Sea Wolves Yeah, that's a while. So in the game, first period, Gru Bauer starts. He gets clunked. You ready?

Ah, ha. True, true, true, true, true, choo. Get up. You're all right, bud, hey, right? You're all right. You're good. You're good. Yeah, you're good.

So, I mean, it's. I love the yellow and green. Yeah. And I love that it was in 20, 15. So the gear is stinky and how. Oh, yeah, moldy. Apparently. Oilers. Hadn't been on the ice since March in any

capacity. And he's he's off the ebug list. But because now this other guy is from Calgary as well, Brennan Baxendahl, who's the team manager for the Cracken. He said, I play with this guy from Alaska Anchorage. So he showed up with the green bag and the old sticks

and the gear. They threw a jersey on him and he got Now, he's not an, so it was an amateur tryout, an ATO. Right. No salary, no bonus of any kind. No form of compensation. Oh, you cheap bastards. So here's this, he would have the sandwiches in the room. Here's a stick.

Maybe the jersey, hard to say. Yeah, former Okotoketoke oiler. How about it? Calgary Canucks saw too there. Yeah. How about that? Calgary guy living in New York. What he's doing?

Oh, you know. Smuggling porn, probably. New York. only fans we're not making a lot on only fans eh how's our jack's got up his game

how's our only fans because I see a lot of these people I go 40 million dollars in a year and they're done Jack why aren't we on only fans making money more um jacks spending

we haven't really thought of doing the only fans I did see that yeah there was one girl that made like 50 million how much did you contribute uh zero Oh.

When you're on it that often, you get a discounted rate. It's pretty impressive, actually. Yeah. It's a lot of money. It's like Soto money she made last year. Yeah. Guys are creeps, eh? Big time.

I mean, guys are creeps. I'm just out here lobbying for pay equity and only fans. That's what I'm here for, boys. That's why we're here. All we want is Evie Stevie. We don't want more of the pie. We just want the same. I checked in with our buddy Sterling.

thanks to you Barney's out there. You've been scooping up our the burner of the holiday bundle. Originbrewing.ca. You're looking for that gift for the hard to do. I don't know what to get this guy. What does he like? Does he like beer and hats or shirts?

Chances are it's probably a pretty sound guess. You'll get a four pack of the Barnburner blonde, a four pack of our new afterburner pale ale. And then you get to select from a on the website. There you see it. Got some different t-shirts there. Show the tractor.

Come on. Show the tractor. It's going to be sold. Yeah. It might be. It might be. Hands get down there early. And they don't have it.

And it's not like a limited size. I think you can see there. The XLs sold out. Double X. Our boys are right. Yeah. There you go. See?

The Xels are in short supply. Thank you, fellas. fellas the holiday burner bottle it's 50 bucks for the four pack of the of the blonde and the pale ale and a shirt or hat of your choice people like those pale ales like we were saying you can give away the the beer keep the hat you can give away a four pack and a hat still a great gift great gift dad i got your hat why are you so drunk son none of you i don't know i just got beer here unbelievable congratulations on zay 14 is a lot. Originbrewing.ca is the website to get that done.

The other thing, you really want to blow someone socks off the Lakes Origin? Go to the top shelf elf auction on nationgear.com. You can do the brewery tour. That comes with eight four packs, eight pieces of merch. You want to blow the top off that thing? Go do it.

What's he doing over there? I just know we're looking at him. Battery. Jack just, our producer Jack just got up from the, we need a jack cam. Why don't we have a jack cam yet? Oh, we should spin that three. That three can't.

Three shot we used once. Just say hello and then spin it. You know, we have not talked about is another big win for the iron curtain. Yeah. You were all over that game. Never had no. I was freaking out a bit.

Nope. If you saw the beginning, you'd be freaking out too. He texts to me as are the, what did you say? So are these idiots not going to cover? These idiots not going to cover. It was getting a little ugly towards the end.

They fumbled. But then James went James and threw a pick. And Cadarius, Tony still can't catch a football. He still got a job. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. So bad. Yeah, just another win, Jack.

Just another win. Now it's a tough stretch. Eagles, Chiefs, Ravens, Bengals again. I wonder if the Steelers could prove that the Chiefs are frauds. I guess we'll find out. That's going to be tough. Yeah, but they're the other fraud team. So it's hard.

That's what I mean. Like someone's going to fraud their way. The bills are. Bills are legit. I think you can see that. What did the Rams put up yesterday? 40. A billion.

They are sunburn. Stuff to play football sunburn, Jack. You know that. Pittsburgh wants to put, bet on Pittsburgh versus the bills. I'd love. Take you money. I was talking to Ryan.

I hope we get that. I think it'd be a great match. Not like last year. Send the Steelers up to Buffalo for some weather for the wildcard weekend. That's unbelievable. They're like, where are you? We got weather all the time, Pittsburgh. It's a little big deal for us.

it's not like we're not we're a bunch of two a tongue of iloas over here guess it'd be hard to happen because the pips were going to win that division now it'd have to probably be the a fc final yeah i don't like that at all is there any party that was that one of your picks or no because you got that right but yeah i went two for three yesterday very good so you're over five chargers we had the chargers too at the bills also i went with my buddy i just just just don't even think about it just the bears they got throttled.

Oh, yeah. They didn't show up at all. No, they packed it right. Brutal. I thought it was going to be. Gross. What do I? We'll do the picks officially tomorrow, I guess.

Look at the updated standings. Caleb Williams, first quarterback since 1950, to have zero interceptions in a seven-game losing streak. Oh, dear. That's good. That's good. That's great news. Yeah.

Real good. See? that's good your young quarterbacks playing well that's all you need to know it's odd stat it's very odd yeah so 50 years since 1950 since so 1950 oh my god 74 years yeah it's the only guy who's tonight uh we get the host of gerald dallas hosting Cincinnati should have been a good game I knew what's nice. I'm happy and we still lost.

James Winston. What a creature. Didn't have any Winston post game stuff. I didn't see any online. He wasn't praying for. Jack's reported it all. He hates it. Pick sixes or anything.

Yeah. It's weird. Jack will kibosh some things, but snakes and Pindor report stuff. Got to wash your hands, mate. Wash your hands. Were you on the Falcon? Were any of us on the Falcons?

No, because we all didn't, can't figure what the Falcons are. We messed our parlay up. The Bears. Right. The Panthers covered. We said, yeah. Because we had our four game parlay. That's right.

I think we were three four. I think we did go three for four. We had Miami. Because they stopped the jets. Who barely, I mean, stops really too strong, but you get my point. There is it here. Holder up here.

Three, six, five. We had Carolina. No, that's, yeah, it was 13.5 was that line, right? Yeah. We had the Bucks minus 6 and a half. Dauphins minus 5 and a half, bears plus 4. And I think all three of those games were final. The last one left with Chicago, like, come on, fellas.

But, I mean, it was, you knew the parlay was hooped by the half. Yes. They weren't going to get close. Come back, and I don't know that Chicago's got the offense for that. What was the Chicago outgained in the first half? 319 yards to 4. Did you say first quarter? First half.

They had more punts than yards at one point. It was four to two. Wow. Yeah, it's not good. I can't believe we didn't get tickets and go to that. Yeah, real good. But anyway, talking about the Falcons, it's another one of those things is you sit and you watch.

How didn't I see this coming? Because I think Vikings are five and a half as that was the line, I think. When I was like, Kirk Cousins's Revenge, I'm like, I don't know that it's Kirk Cousin's revenge. He's throwing four picks last week. Through another four years ago. Cousins in, so it's their fourth straight loss. Cousins, zero touchdowns, eight picks in the last four games.

See? Caleb Williams, way better. Meanwhile, Sam, yeah, Sam, Darnold, five touchdowns. The last Vikings quarterback to do it was Dante Cull Pepper Al in 2004. Oh, baby. Dante was the original James. That guy loved him in it. He sure did.

it. And the thing that he had that James doesn't is Randy Moss. Chris Carter. That helps. Does that help when you're a quarterback? Yeah. Yeah. Having Hall of Fame receivers when you're just,

I'm just going to throw it up and see it like he's got a chance. Yeah. May as well. So is there any pizzas on the line? I think what's, where's our pizza bet thing at? I got pushed. Jackie still down three.

I got screwed over last week. He didn't get screwed over. Brett was point shaving. Yeah, he was doing his point shaving. Oh, yeah. Did I, how was my weekend when I was my point shaving? That's right. We should go back.

No, we're not even giving that the time of day. I think, I think because the bills lost and they were fair, I think you still probably. Yes, I did. I made it two and two,

I think it was two or two and a half. Plus, they were favored. Yeah, it was minus. You lose the bills bet there. He did not win the football game. You move the bills down to minus two or something,

but still didn't come through for you. you. Should it's moved it to plus 1,000, then you would have won all the bit. It's true. I think it's three pizzas at this point. Yes, it is. It was three. It should have gone back to two, but Red Point shaved you on Thursday.

What it looks like is like it could be a million and we'll make any difference because remind us about that plus 1,000 for Friday when we do our picks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to do our own point shaving. Let's really push the plus side. It's like, you know, Detroit, Buffalo, big, big game. It's going to be tight. I'll take Detroit plus 100 points.

Yeah. Money line. Tough to. I'm going to go spread. Don't really like what the book's offering. So I'm going to go plus 100. Yeah. I'm going to take the points.

I'll take the hundred points. 100 place. Fucking bears nearly. They need 100. Let's take a look at those bets for today. Bet 365. Our presenting sponsor and world's largest sports betting platform. Open that account with Bet 365.

Get the apps. you were on the app. So much. That was so much fun. You use the promo code nation when you sign up. If you have it already, whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at Beth 365.

Bender. Got some hockey, got some football. Let's start with the hockey's. Tage Thompson over three and a half shots. All right. Seven, a couple nights,

six a couple nights ago. Come off. He's a shooter. He's a trigger man. I also laddered this bad boy up to five shots. That's a real nice number of the plus 80. Now on football, I'm actually going with some Jamar Chase over.

I think his line's 86 and a half. I'm not sure if Jack got that one or not, but a little football, a little hockey should be good night. And the Pinder rink at late draw for curling plus 500, huge underdogs, rough performance last week. What a setup they have down in the bridge city. Oh, really? That whatever, Cavendish Farm Center, unbelievable.

Okay. Unbelievable. Yeah, yeah, I've been there. We got to leave our equipment in the room all weekend, full games with floods. they got the surf flow rider really can get out there

yeah are you kidding me surf magazine LA you see I sent you a picture of those curling facility how many sheets do they have my goodness so many a lot of sheets a lot of sheets many tons oh sheets so let's move down to the windy cities yeah now Cavendish

Okay.

No, you need that disc thing that goes forever. Just miles and miles. The aerobi goes to the moon if you throw it in the last bridge. Off the face of the air. I see Jack finally banned someone from the chat. What happened? What has to happen? It's been happening for two hours.

It's so confusing because there's two people that have the same name and one guy's the villain and one guy is just trying to have fun. So they're always saying ban this guy, but I don't know which one is which. I don't want to ban the wrong guys. I know. Is it poop? Is poop hanging around in there still? Poop's been good today.

Has it? He, she, good. Every single day, poop comes in. He's got all kinds of aliases. Poops always mixing it up.

Good old poop. Always count on poop. Any super chats today, Jack? No super chats today, but let's tell the people what we're doing. The super chat, we've kind of been talking about this a little bit.

The super chat is a way for you. We're kind of saying, if you super chat, you're going to get your comment on the show. It costs, There's a currency involved. You got to pay to get a super chat. We've been telling you, hey, you know what?

We're going to do a thing. It's going to be a thing. We're going to do something good, and we are doing something good. As of it's official, and we're going to back, I mean, whatever we've brought in at this point, we're also going to move it forward. Of course. As we have partnered this season with Youth Centers of Calgary, it's a place where kids are welcomed and accepted as they are.

They can get a little bit of a break from the chronic stress that is the reality of many of their lives, start to flourish through connections and belonging and fun, like you were saying, after school or meal. When you're waiting for the mom and dad or the, you know, caretakers to get home, you can get into some things. You can go sideways there and you got a little time in your hand. So this is a great way for kids to get off the street, get some food, like you say, be warm and start to turn things,

get some help, turning things around. So we love it. And all of the money that comes in via the super, is going to go to the youth centers of Calgary. Yeah. So maybe you can learn an instrument, maybe you do some reading, maybe you work on art. Maybe you're shooting hoops, whatever it is. It's throwing disks, disks in Lethbridge.

Maybe not just some good healthy fun before your folks get on from work or whatever the case maybe. There you go. What did you do after school? You don't know. Yeah. See, you could have used. That was the delivered flyers.

Really? You just throw them in the trash, eh? Yeah. that is the I wonder with all the kids that were paid to deliver flyers what percentage of the flyers actually got to the doorsteps.

How many got burned? Just tossed. Dumpster. I'm guessing like 10% got delivered. And probably even if you went and asked the people, are you getting the flyers? I think so. I just,

I don't know. I just, yeah, I get probably, yeah. I guess he's doing his, I guess that Warner kid's doing all right. Man,

what it worked. I did 100 blocks today. Wow. It's a lot. Meanwhile, you're sitting at the rink having a pizza pop. Orion, sour cream and onion, Dean. Oh, boy, those were good. I totally forgotten about those.

The ripple? Yes. Is that what they were? Oh, yeah. Rets top five. On a Monday, if you would like to sponsor Rets top five, contact our sales department at Zachstaff.

sales.sales.com at jrash slash barn burner slash sales. Rets top five for today. Top five chips? What do we got? I can do top five chips for me and I'll go with the Orion's sour cream and onion. It's right off the hop. Green onion five. Number four.

Only in Canada to ketchup. Yeah, love ketchup. Number three. I'm just going to go with the flat. out Dorito the original yep orange bag not the red orange bag original number two this is where it gets tough yeah I know what my number one is I do too yeah done this before I just know you I'm gonna go with mrs. Vicki salt and vinegar and number one is the old Dutch Ogratine without a doubt

Brett loves the old Dutch O'Grotten. Yeah, the Miss Vickies, because it's kettle cooked, if you do happen to get a little Nick inside there, and then it's the salt and vinegar. It's an experience. You got to want it, and you do.

I can't believe I've forgotten about Orion's. Oh, yeah. As I look at the bag now. I literally just had a flash at home and I can, I can almost, I remember the texture, the taste, the snap. It was a thick cut ripple, a tight ripple.

not like the bigger old Dutch. How about that? Bacon in that. Memory lane, eh? Sour and cream dust. It was good. Holy smokes. All right.

Best top five in days. Good job in the top five, buddy. No problem. A lot of time putting that together. Yeah. And I hate to leave it till the end because I know you'd have been chomping at it to.

Yeah, I was anxious to get it out. What I got to do top five? Top five. Can we all frank. Doing all that taste testing, ranking, reordering all weekend. Uh,

we got a super chat, Jack. We need like a, uh, uh, I need like a sound effect. I love some. $5 from Ken out of boy, Kenny.

To the youth centers of Calgary. Pinder, the dance routine you showed was Kid and Play in House Party. Come on, Pinder, be better. Cool. Is that what it was? I don't remember. Someone on the internet said it was blonde girls.

Maybe they're dressed up as blonde girls in house party. And it's kid and play. You said it's the Wayne Brothers? Well, I mean, we're trusting Ken here. He's got five bucks. Well, I'll take it. Ken, I'll take your money,

give it to the kids. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks, Ken. You just banned another guy. Oh, he does. No,

that was poopers, yeah. P.S. but part, he's producer and police officer. The chat. Old Jack. It's because he looks distracted and acts distracted.

Doesn't mean he's not dialing. Pain saying it was white chicks. Yeah, I don't. Not blonde girls. White chicks. Look, there it is.

White chicks. That doesn't have $5 attached to this. This is the hugger, though. He's seasoned. tight. And it's, I mean, we're going back to the, the bold claim from

big bucks, Ken. Yeah. Just flashing. You just spend money and just dominate the conversation. So if you want it to drop a 20 and say it's Schindler's list, you can do that. So I said the way ends, now there's, it's the Marlin. I mean, yeah. A lot of mistakes. I mean, Marlins. It's white chicks, not blonde chicks. Okay. Which makes sense. Which is not house party. Which is not house party with kid and play. the Wayan brothers.

Or the Wayans. It feels like there's some racial... It's like there's some... Skirting? I don't even know if we're skirting. I wish we were. I really right now wish we were kind of skirting it a little bit. I think you're thinking.

White chicks. Same though we? So maybe the dance routine is called Kid and Play, but it is... Well, kid play is not... Are you familiar with them? No, I've no idea. yes this is the hey jack shut up you want to be part of the conversation but at least got to look i'm kidding play so that's our super chat works i'll see yeah white chicks sorry now

everybody now they're apologizing they're all stupid it's blonde chicks oh i'm sorry i was white checks oh okay well you're right it's my bad give us another five ken you screwed up you're five bucks that's right ken can you host pizza that was uh godfather pizza so it was the marlins the marlin's the marlin brothers doing the kid and play dance routine in the movie white chicks there you go simple i'm glad we got that straight no thank god before we go off the air how do you start a week with leaving it like that if you're hanging on us i can all sleep tonight thanks ken how are you in public pain enjoying anything for the rest of your day you'd just be

ruined wandering around aimlessly so what's up for the rest of the day you know what today feels like get something done because you're running out of time because you'll look back and be why didn't I do it that day it was noon could have

gone to the mall and gotten that before the mall was crazy busy could have gone and done that before it was super cold I probably should where do you get coal just asking for a friend coal yeah you were just in

oh that's where i should have got cold yeah great deal in cold yeah definitely could get cold damn it's my yeah yeah it's a coal mine yeah yeah coal mine coal mine can you go back it's a long drive kind of far right roads are better than they were that way yeah what happened to orion's chips they didn't have anything else right they just kind of we're going to do sour cream and onion and nothing else maybe orion got why mess ryan got why mess Did you guys want to some other flavors? No. Don't tell us what we're doing.

We're Orion's. We make sour cream and onion chips. Okay. The sour Orion chips were characterized, but they're thick, chunky texture and robust seasoning. Yes. The sour cream and onion flavor was a standout. It really was.

Users describing it as super thick and loaded with flavor. That's how I discovered. grabbed it's exactly what i would say super thick of flavor you just said basically they were eventually discontinued likely due to frugal lays acquisition hostess in the end of the big chip didn't want them surviving dean bring them back bring them back cowards you know what is still living though when you talk about classic old chips and you mentioned the the company there may have they've guaranteed have been bought out that is hostess or used to have hostess chips those the hickory sticks

those hickory sticks those are good they're still out there jacked you know hickory sticks you ever have a stick jack lots of hickory sticks that's a small bag you're just teasing us that's a hostess product yeah still available but I think because you know what you got in there you got less um here yeah yeah well I want more you get volume kind of thing right you're getting more in there

you don't want more that's how the but they are scaminous and they are delicious but you know what though you're going to find them everywhere because you think they're all getting into your jibs. No. If you're eating them on the road, not a good road trip. Oh, snack. Why is that in my seat?

What the hell? That's shit in my cup holder. Then my key won't fit in the ignition. Why is there a hickory stick in here? My seat belt on. It's full of hickory sticks. Who the hell has been driving this thing? Look at J.M.

Bought hickory sticks yesterday. Out of boy, James. Yeah, you did. And how good were they? Still is good. You ever have a bad? Probably you're not buying hickory sticks without a pop too. Oh, you need a pop for, right?

Like, you're not, you're not walking in there grabbing a hickory stick and out. There's definitely a slurpier or something coming along. Like, Gary. Hickory sticks were a hockey rink vending machine must have. Is that? Jerry. Jerry. Yeah.

There, jam. So many sticks in that bag. It's true. You know what else you're going to be doing a lot, though, is some of this. You're doing a lot of that with the hickory sticks. Because again, this is the bat. not as much flavoring as maybe the Orion's, but it's...

And you need multiple fingers, right? Because you're not just... With a regular bag and you can do a two-finger kind of deal. You're not doing that with hickory sticks. It's at least... I'm going to say it's one of these. You're grabbing a bunch. Which fingers are both?

Your ring finger, your middle finger, your pointer and your thumb. I mean, if you're using all five, you're a bit of an animal. That's... Sometimes you're hungry. Sometimes you're hungry. That's five is for popcorn. Oh, yeah, I did a popcorn.

Movie theater popcorn. Saw the second Moana. Did you put it in the freezer? I thought about it. I left in the car. I was like, is this almost closed a freezer? It was too warm. How is the Moana?

Awesome. Yeah. I don't think the soundtracks as much of a banger. They want it to be, but it's like, yeah. Hell of those show. So the rocks there, right? Yes. Get to meet all these new demigods.

Yeah. Can't wait. You want to go? There is a movie, though. A chicken's still kicking. That chicken's hilarious. I don't know that the Moana as well as I should. I kids too old, I guess.

Yeah. I mean, it's been on in the house. I've seen it. Anybody done any, any Christmas movies yet? Nope. I was going to start this week.

I am very excited for the annual home alone viewing because now the, it's the kids have seen it a couple times and they just love the physical comedy. Yeah. It's so good. The jar of paint. Bang. And two is, I mean,

yeah. No, two is good than three and they get a little crazy. Yeah. Two is the New York. Yeah, you could go back to back, but stop after two. Yeah. The rest are junk.

We got the Grinch in last week. Really? Yeah. And the one kid wanted the Muppet Christmas Carol Saturday. I have not shown the young men the Christmas vacation. Is that what's the age? They won't. Quite yet.

No. I'm going to watch Die Hard. It's more of a, it's more adulty kind of thing. Is that the wee bit nippily outside? Is that the one? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Kiss his ass. Kiss my ass. Kiss my ass. Kiss his ass. Diehard? Jack, is diehard a Christmas movie? No.

Oh, dear. Who the assed you? Bird. Back to you, there's a new, and I don't know if it's any good. There's a, Ben Stiller has a new Christmas movie out.

Okay. And Jack Black has a new one where he's the devil. Yeah, like that. Someone sent, it was like, Dear Santa. but they spelt it's Satan. Oh, whoops. And old Jack Black is the devil. He's like, hey, all right, let's do this shit.

So I don't know. I think that one you can stream it. You streamer? Yeah. That doesn't feel like a kid's one for sure. Bad Santa, not a kid's. That's an adult one. How do people like it?

Yeah, people do. You don't? I don't. It's, you know what? It's about Billy Bob catch you wrong way? No, it's, for Christmas movies, I want, heartwarming. I don't want. Well, aren't you a softy. Don't make, I love my Christmas.

I don't, you don't need to, you know, your bad attitude around here, Mr. If you want to do it about Halloween, then I'm, yeah, Halloween, right? Yeah, but he sees like a Santa. Like, that's the whole thing, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I watched a weird one with Tim Allen. You're killing right right now, I. The guy from,

was Cole? What's the, who's the guy from Yellowstone? The one kid. One kiss? Cole, Cade, Cole. I don't watch Yellowstone. Cotton. You don't watch a yellow stone? What are you talking about?

Fake farmer or fake ranchers? Um, El Camino Christmas is what it was. Tim Allen. That sounds awful. The chick from, uh, Letter Kenny. And, uh, dude from Dax Shepherd is in it. And then dude from Yellowstone.

The Cole, Kate. Are we talking about it? I don't know what he's talking about. Is it? Are we still on? Camino. El Camino Christmas. Wasn't Tim Allen's Santa?

Well, he was in the Santa Claus and was also in Christmas with the cranks. Right. That's a great one too. Where he and the woman who was hot in true lies, did the strips. Strip. Jamie Lee. Jamie Lee Curtis. Thank you, Rhett.

Remember that one, eh? Assets. So they're the cranks. They just want to avoid Christmas altogether. They're going to go in a hot holiday and leave it, but then they have to stay. and then the neighbor, we're going to need you

to put the tree up. We're going to need to put your lights up. I'm going to start talking politics. Jack, we should cancel the show. Yeah, El Camino Christmas is kind of predictable. Yellow stains on your pillow

a warning sign. Dean? Not yellow stains, yellow stone. Did Siri pick up, come on, Siri, Smart not. Siri, be better.

Alexa, idiot. Is nobody in the chat with the, who's the guy? Everyone's stopped listening. There's, Show's over, Dean. There's,

the main guy, Dutton, John, John Dutton, and he's got the, what, two boys? One is the politician

who's a loser. His daughter is crazy. There's RIP, who's kind of the adopted one. And then there's the other one. Cole, Kane, Ken,

Col, Kahn, Carolina, Kura. Son of a bitch. Yeah, Luke Grimes is his realness. name. Casey, but it's like K-A-Y-C-E.

Cole, Kaine, Kahn, Kahn, Kahn, so it's Casey from Yellowstone. He's in this El Camino Christmas. It's gone. And who's the cop? I'll warn you, he's a little crooked. I don't like that. Yeah, Vincent Donofrio, I think, is who it is. I was thinking about what we can do

during the Christmas show. Beyond the, there's the obvious, but then what, we should decorate a tree. Oh, you already had that one exercise. You'd say something nice with each other. I've been researching. Not there yet, but we're getting close, I think.

Find something. I'm going to use AI. Nice. Last year, we rolled out some vid, the George Brett, video that no one had ever kind of really seen to go with the audio was, was kind of a hit.

Yeah, that's true. The wheel of fortune with all the F-bombs is funny as hell. That was a good one. Because for us just to sit, I mean, there's going to be some natural discussion, but I wonder if we should actually plan something. I'd like to play hungry-hungry hippos if that's all right. I heard it was very noisy. I don't think it's good for the listening audience.

Don't do a puzzle? Did you do that puzzle? No, not yet. It's Christmas. It's Christmas puzzle season. Yeah, right around the corner. I got my 2000 are on the go. 2000.

What's your biggest five? Maybe at some point. Diabolical. Just kind of Monday to Friday, we're doing a thousandths. We're doing a thousand piece puzzle. 300s are for kids. 500 is, you know, okay, if we do something over the weekend.

But a thousand is kind of, okay, this is a challenge. And you're going to do. If you got fired, do you think you'd pretend to have a job to keep the other person in your house off your back? I'm just puzzle all day? If you got fired, would you pretend to have, like, you'd, okay, babe, see ya, off to work. That happened to me one summer.

I was coaching hockey and... You're seven years old. No, no, no, come on now. Come on. A nice story to share and you really made fun. This happened to you one summer. One summer I was coaching, and I was politely told I wasn't need anymore,

so I just tell my dad that I was going to coach hockey and I wasn't. You stayed off my back. And what did you do? We could read. Do you want us to self-to-diagnose this? Why weren't you a good coach? So you weren't a shitty coach and shit-scared to your old man.

Correct. Okay. I did that kind of like that when I had a sales job, except I wasn't fired. I was doing the job. So I'd get up, shirt tie, or get dressed up, come on and go in. Oh, hey, how we doing? Oh, yeah, good to see. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, coffee machine. Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure, yeah. Busy day. Yeah, I got to run out to Nipawa, talk to the auto dealers out there. We got a thing going, maybe put a little thing together. Yeah, we've got to go talk to, you know, the furniture store out there in St. Lazar, Fouliards, fooliard furniture, try and get them. They're doing some TV stuff.

We're going to get them on, eh, and. Wicker Barn was looking at a Christmas campaign. Wicker Barn wants to do a live show, get a remote in time for the holidays. So, yeah, I've slammed. Got to go, guys. What are you guys doing to you just hanging out? Probably see you tomorrow. Have a good day.

Then I'd wheel over to my buddy beef's house. Yeah. I'd park in the garage so no one could see my car. Right. And then just hit the couch and watch movies. Drink chocolate milk. Like go. Didn't get hammered or Beatrice.

Smoked joints or anything. Just hang out. Just hang out, watch. I don't even know what we would have watched. Play backgammon and smoke joints. Oh, yeah. Classic. Got a story to share?

It reminds me of my job. Anything on your mind? That's all right. Fort St. John, really, eh? Backgammon big up there? No. Because I know the pot smoking. The morning show guy was off at 9 a.m.

The time I got home for my shift. Woo. Jack, we got a super chat. We got to go to the super chat. For the youth centers of Calgary, Walshie, $2. He's got some emojis going. My eyeballs are bad.

What do we got going? He's going to. He's pointing down. And then. there's a button. Oh, for fuck, Walsh. Gotta boy Walsh if I'm on. Yep. Brut.

Really? We finally got a boss. She said you got to push the button. Sorry, Dane. You have to pick this up tomorrow. Money well spelled Walsh. Thank you. You know what I made yesterday?

I don't care. No, press the button. See you.
