August long, the July long Canada Day, but this is a new one. I remember that was the day that they fired a bunch of people at our old workplace. That's right. Yeah, we were in Canmore doing a show. Yeah. And then it was like mandatory everyone on a call. And we're like, I'm trying to schmooze clients in a freaking like sim golf. Yeah. Little thing.

And it's like you get on this call. I'm like, those are always the good ones. Oh, that's the inside the media, the media scope. You get the bold, urgent email, uh, conference call. 10 a.m. I'm not to miss it. Yes. It's 917. It's not a lot of... You didn't really give us a bit of a tight turn.

Time to clear the calendar there. Pretending to play St. Andrews here. I'm a little busy. So the text goes, did you get this email? Yeah, what do you think? It can't be good. No. So then you start going through the... So who... Who's invited and who got this email? Yeah. Oh, I don't... Yeah, he's not... Oh, dear. He's not... Oh, and he's not.

not there. He's been here for a while. Yeah. That's, who's, because if he's not there, this is a big one. Yeah.

Well, after your fourth or fifth call like that, you kind of have to flag. That's why you don't get email. First time, you're like, oh,

this is great. We're all getting raises. They're probably telling us about some brandy deal. It's going to be great. Notice how I laughed out loud. Yeah, I know, but the first one.

Yeah. And then you see the, the fifth one and you're like, are we fired or? Anyway, inevitability at some point. Yeah. Well,

happy birthday. No, not today. Can we get you anything? Yes. I need child care. No, I've heard of a kids, so that's a... Yeah, boarding schools becoming an increasingly attractive option here as we project forward. Well, just seeing who's, you know, chiming in.

Nice to see that your hat. Back in the chat? Yeah, your chat, just saying hello. Good day. Yeah, I know the hat was, guy was upset. I didn't have the hat on yesterday, but he missed the beginning because you said it was photo day, so I took the hat off. That's right.

and unleash the chaos that is the hair right now. How was photo day, everyone? Did we enjoy it? I crushed it. You guys looked. Jack couldn't do a serious face. He was smiling the whole time. Jack,

it's too much fun. Yeah. Too much fun yesterday. Okay, Jack, now do a serious one. Jack, can you do a serious? You just can't do it. Jack, again, this is, pretend you're on trial about to be sentenced for life, wrongly accused of murder.

Big smile. Come on, Jack. He's Ricky Bobby in front of the camera. Passport photo. Let's go. I don't know what to do with my hand. There was one that I saw you were holding the football and you were like laughing to the point that your head was caught back. Eyes closed.

Just I got some great football shots. Yeah. Dreaming to the Steelers. That number one defense back at it again in week three. Yeah. Second round, a linebacker from Calgary, Jack Hammerstown. Yeah. So that was yesterday.

And you were upset. There was no food. Yeah, you were real hot about that. That's chintzy. you didn't like the cookies and the donuts and there was right yeah there was breakfast like pastries well two things that's not real food and you don't eat before a show the pros don't know because then you start you get all farty and bloated and tired at the old shop we'd always get food on like wrette's birthdays or his last oh yeah before he had his four-month vacation

and the last hour we're like yeah yeah we uh talk to somebody at 620 yeah go ahead and play that. Oh, yeah. One of the worst. Yeah, yeah. This happened two hours ago. If you missed it, here it is again. Christmas, it was a Christmas.

I got you. Each of Spiro's, I don't even know if you're there. Might have been walks. Spiro's pizza. Yeah. How'd you get them that early? I got it the night before. I brought it in and we were, literally.

Yeah. We were based. I don't know how we're getting out of this show. There's 40 minutes left. Exactly. I don't know how we're getting. Who's driving me home? Keys, please.

What are we doing here? Here's Pat's calling show from last night. Yeah. It's about how it goes. Yeah. I was up that early this morning. What's going on with you? Good hockey, eh?

Yeah. My goodness. I didn't know that was part of trying to achieve the upper rationale. Well, that's how you got right to the NHL. You played 13 months a year and you got up at 5 a.m. to skate everything. It was actually, I used to get up at 4 just to checkpoint. team for baseball fantasy baseball

right I took it very serious for two years I think it was back to back chum really my youngest today my youngest today had a 630 ice time and either at six

and actually but it was kind of humorous because he's like I don't think I've ever done this yeah I don't think you have you yeah like maybe timbins I know you haven't

yeah because I'm your father we don't live in this one Yeah, well, I mean, it's what you do on a Tuesday. Yeah. Push on the table. Or if you do it, radio, you do it every day and take gears off. 250 days a year and then you die younger.

Yeah. Which is fine. It's good. It's all worth it. I was going to say I was thinking this morning, if you found out, a hypothetical. Oh, Jesus. It's going to be dark. It's not, no, it's, it depends how you want it to be.

All right. You get a text from your doctor. I was going to say Jay Patel, but he's a dentist, so it would have to be a serious dental issue. The boys have an investment. Yeah. So you find out, you got a week, bud. Oh. All right.

Well, we got a week. What are you doing? A week? You got one week. You can't kill me in a week. It's Tuesday. You got a few days. Like a cockroats.

You got a weekend. I know what you're doing on Thursday night. Can I, Is it a place where you've been that you want to go back to? Is there someplace you've never been that you're like, man, I got to see that. With a week, you're going to visit with people you care about. Yes. That's it.

And people he cares about it. Maybe do some LSD. Okay. Such as the Buffalo Bills, Thursday night football against Miami. Does it feel like the LSD would help you deal with that? Well, I mean, it's, I was going to say it's bad for your health, but at this point. I don't know what LSD does. Yeah.

can't be good can't be that bad either there's some cool music we had in the 70s on that stuff yeah oh yeah even the smart guys back in the day that's right they thought of the trucey stuff they're really good okay so it's LSD not bad for you perhaps good for you gets the creative juice signed barn burner I guess is what I'm suggesting and you I don't know I would think you would sprint for the exits as fast as possible part of me would want to but the other part is like I got these young hyenas you got to spend some time with the hyenas. And your mother-in-law just got to town.

I'd get a dog. Yeah, you would. So the one week I actually don't want child care at habit. Yeah. Yeah. Damn it. So that'd be good, right? You got one week.

The mother-in-law is here. You'd get some quality time with her. Because I know before the show you were talking about how you were looking forward to really spending some time. Yeah. It's tough to put a lid on the enthusiasm. Yeah. So, yeah.

But also the father-in-law as well is beauty. He always fixes up old cars. likes to slam beer and watch sports. We'll get by. You were saying the mother-in-law does a lot to help of. Well, she can't cook. She can't drive, but beyond that, incredibly helpful. Yeah.

I mean, she can drive, but it's the other side of the road, Australia, mate. Would that be hard if you done that? I think if you're young, it's because I've done it and my wife is fine on both sides, but you just don't want to start doing it when you're 70. Because you kind of got some pretty well-intrenched habits. Yeah. So is there anything? I mean, it's like before I die.

Well, if there was like a Super Bowl or a World Cup or a NHL Final or something cool to go to. That would be it, but there's not that this week. None of that's happened this week. Yeah. Get a boat. I'd say go see the bills and the dolphins, but that game's probably going to be a blowout anyway. You could catch up with your old pal, Bruce Allen, by the big tree. Bruce Smith, excuse me.

That's twice. Twice? It's every time. What would you do? Isn't he like a music? I don't know. Like he's a manager. Doesn't he manage a nickel back or something?

What would I do? I'm sure you'd really come out of your shell. Who's that musician you've seen eight times? You'd probably go see him wherever he's on tour. Yeah, that'd be, again, you'd be a slave to the schedule. What is he touring right now? Are you on tour? You've got enough money.

You just fly them in and play private. Yeah, I don't have. That'd be the thing. You'd ride, rack up some serious debt. well you got that life insurance about to pay out you're like honey i'm just gonna you know lean into this a bit just just take a little nibble out of this it's gonna be coming your way in a little bit yeah i don't know you thinking about that a lot yeah why are we talking about this today it's so morbid yeah it's no it's hopeful is it oh okay

yeah have you got the dnr email sent around yet where if you go down on set that jack don't touch be resuscitated below no you just like what do you want to do jack what do you want to do You got one week. What have you not done? What do you need to do again? First time, what do you feel? I think I'm just going to Montana with the boys.

Yeah, we're just going to floor it for a week. Get on the lake. See you. It's important that the boys don't suck the fun out of it. Yeah, they got to be, they got to know,

Jack, just shut up. Yeah, you got to have a disclaimer. Don't, like we're not talking about it. Don't be sad. Drink.

We've been talking about this bologna sandwich thing. You probably get that. Definitely going to hit one of those. Okay, we'll call Greg. Jack, can you get Greg see if we could do. I would have taken a baloney sandwich yesterday. Had to starve. Yeah.

How was your burrito? Didn't even get one. Oh. Went home and had some bullshit. A borsche is still going, eh? Oh, how much did you make? Lots. Like gallons?

Have you, It's still in the fridge. I keep forgetting. Come on. At least it's in the fridge. What's your timeline on that? Because you put the cream in, obviously, at time of eating. It'll last for another week or so.

There's a, there's a date that's coming soon. That probably you'll want to get it in the get it up in you before then. Oh, good. The school's calling. That's always a good sign. Oh, let's answer. Take it. You have to take it.

One of these things. Yeah. One is a bit of an adventure. Yeah. But that's what you want. You want kids that are going to, you know, come on. Kids are going to be a huge success. That's what you want.

That's right. You want some of a kid that's. Yes. Yeah. That's what you want. let me tell about Crystal Waters. Coming up, once anything's worth talking about starts happening. I'm led to believe at some point there will be things we're talking about.

And we'll have hockey insiders and guests on the show, and they'll be brought to you by Crystal Waters plumbing and heating. Crystal Waters. That could have been our guest for the hotline right there. Is that right? I don't know what my kid told the staff at the fine public institution, but he just got to call me to ask for his baseball glove and bat. I'm like, should you need class?

The hell's going on? Just roaming the halls. What story did you tell them that you were allowed to leave your class and use the phone? It was not I need my baseball glove. Like, what did you tell them? What did you say? That's a good point. He has concocted a story of some sort.

I'm telling you. I have no worries about that young man. He's going to take over the world or he's going to be wearing an orange jumpsuit with ankle bracelets. No. Jeez. He's going to be just. fine. Crystal wall.

He's a problem solver. That's what he is. He really is. He's finding out. He's finding ways to get things done. And he knows how to solve it and no one else. Crystal water is plumbing and heating. Crystal clear choice for home comfort.

And told you last week, it's garage heaters. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they get air conditioner and furnace and we talked with. Of course, yeah. Of course. But dipping the toe into the garage heater business. And I said last week, I was kind of,

Well, once you get your, if you get your garage down, you've got it insulated, do you really need it? Going to get a heater? Maybe I don't need. I'm going to find out. Ataboy. Yeah, we're going to find out. Good. God, you're just throwing it around.

403, 219, 4100. Check them out at crystal clear calgary.com. Your crystal clear choice for home comfort. You're not going to be disappointed, Dean. If I had my garage turned into a man cave, heavy reps this week. Yeah. Yeah. When you need that extra.

space. Yeah, I'm doing show prep in here for the next, when are you going to bed? Like we said, if you're like, I was thinking of putting up some yeah, I just got some jerseys, put a TV on the wall where I can watch football, but you're not doing that in here. That's usually, you know my better house. Yeah. I'm surprised you're even allowed in the house. Dunder's paid.

I mean, let alone having a man cave. I've hit the number. I'm surprised. The key works. Crystal waters plumbing and heating, crystal clear, Calgary.com. Get that, uh, gotta take some video. Hopefully get the,

no, yeah, yeah, figure that out. Sitting in there, my speedo. I hope you're just taking the video and not helping. Oh,

I know better. Okay. Yeah, good. No, that's, a younger, more foolish man might try to do it himself.

That's not a move. Yeah. Then you have to pay someone to do it again, the right way. Maybe some flames and sparks and, not ideal. Property damage fires. Not ideal.

Watch any football last night? Do we watch any football? ball. I watched my fantasy team. Right. Come around and have a victory. Congrats. Nice. I'm trying to wink. Did you go with Uh, you got to eat something.

Yeah, Tuesdays are going to be an issue. Because I mean, your energy levels are very low. It has nothing to do with food. How do you feel about Tuesdays? 4 a.m. But, but I think it's a combination of all of it. I don't need your life advice. Yeah. I got to sit here with you, you get grumpy fuck.

Um, can somebody feed this man? Get this guy some food. You weren't worried about it yesterday when I was begging for it. Well, you were eating yesterday. Exactly. You were in a great food. The bastard cheap pricks.

No food day. Oh, a swear jar. Swear jar. Someone did inquire about the, yeah, smear jar. Yeah, I mean, it's proof will be in the pudding. The truth. Truth. Truth.

Truth. We'll be in the pudding. It's a truth, Bob. Yeah. You can say you want the swear jar. We'll see how that goes. You got to love Baker Mayfield. That's a ballsy drive with less than two minutes left. He's an animal.

Yes. There's some quarterbacks and you hear even this, well, I don't know, is he laying out for the catch? Is he doing a little alligator arms? Is he doing all he can? It looks like he's afraid to get hurt. That's a business decision. You didn't want to get hit.

You never questioned Baker Mayfield. That was the one Cleveland quarterback out of the million they've drafted that actually, Yeah, he's good. He is good. You cut bait on the loser, on the winner, and you kept all the losers. Had a game winning drive last week, right, against the Falcons. Two in a row. And then did it again last night.

Yeah, and they were in full control, and then they just kept shooting themselves in the foot against Houston with all these drives in the second half. And you're like, geez, they're going to lose to Houston? No, Baker's at the hell. I'm not sure a C.J. Strouds, any good. Last year was the sophomore slump, and this year looking like the sophomore, not the rookie year. There's an O-line, though. You said something about the O-Line. Yeah, that's trash.

Yeah. Also, the run game's not ideal. Yeah, you don't have to worry about Chubb very often. No. Mixing's timeline is very murky. Is it weeks, months, season? It did seem like there were some makeable throws, even with the O-line issues. It's like, oh, son, you got to help yourself a little bit.

I saw the last quarter probably, and Baker definitely showed up when it mattered. and then I got, because I knew the Chargers game was coming. I'm like, all right, here we go. Stinking Raiders. A.S.E. West. Herbert looked good again. Yeah, the Raiders are no good. Gino's, no.

The Raiders cause problems. Like, the D-line is, like, Max Crosby's disturbing everything. But as long as you game plan two to three people for him, you can very much handle the Raiders. And Gino-Smiths brutal. Like, he's just awful. You want to talk about missing throws? Not ideal.

Oh. Gentie looked great when he had, you know, a lane to run in, and then they only gave him the ball like seven times. Oh, I got this a couple of years ago at the store. I don't know. Why? It's got like eagles and snakes and cacti.

I was going to say it's got it's got me completely intrigued. Yep. Your style and fashion is. It's unique. It's like you get dressed in the dark. It's really interesting. Because there is some, are you in or you out?

There's a bird. I've got to decide yet. I'm not sure yet. There is a snake. and a bird and a tree and then some other trees. Cactus. Is that a goose or is that a partch? Is that a Pitarmigan?

Tarmigan. Yeah, good words. Is it a vulture? A vulture? Is it a buzzard, just swirling overhead, waiting to pick away at our bones? Yeah. Yeah, we're dying over here. Why are we doing shows in September?

You were all gung-ho to do shows. Yeah, we try to change. Yeah, you get five days a week. I start doing five days a week. Jack says it shows been great. I don't see any. Jackson, thanks, Jack.

Jack doesn't know anything. He doesn't know what he's talking about. So week two is in the books, as they say, for Bet365. We can take a look at our picks. Again, this is not a Bet365 thing. We just kind of appreciate them. We do our picks.

It can be, sometimes it's, look how easy it can be. If these guys can do it, and then other times, like, it's not as hard as these guys make it look. Week one was one of those. We really made it. Difficult to deal.

Bet 365. get the app, get in the game. Pinder with a three and all week. Back to 500 boys. I should not be in the lead position, but we're all just shaking the rust. It's early. Eagles find away. Chargers win going away.

Thank you, Baker. Thank you, Baker. You know what? I shouldn't have gone with the Titans. What was I think? You said you're going to Nashville. You got to pick it. It was my heart.

And I was like, well, Rick, you're going to national in November. You're picking them every week. That's going to be tough. Yeah. And they weren't close to covering that. Jack with the, he's in the lead with a three and a week, got a boy.

Yeah, but okay, let's go through this again. Yeah. Okay, you like the Chargers. That's your team or the Rams? I definitely like the Chargers. I didn't pick them in week one.

I was scared shitless of the cheese. You at least picked your boomer. Where's Chicago? Oh, no. No, Chicago in there. Yeah, I did. I took the lions to beat them. They're in there.

Genius. And I was on the right. side. Yeah, that's a good pick. Jack Pittsburgh, the greatest 5-0 team ever. Oh, no. So this is already, you know. Red has this rule book.

He's turning into Walker here. You've got to pick your team. You got to do that. How is it under protest? You got to support your team. You can't say that you're a, these are picks. It has nothing to do with who you're cheering for. You can keep trumpeting this, but, uh,

showing for teams different than sports. wagering. That's what I would say. Like you got a fantasy team. You said you were watching your fantasy team last night. You could cheer for the bills, who your team, but you can also, you know, hope that your players do well. You know what? This is the problem with the Canadians.

You're fake NFL things. Your phonies. Well, actually, Jack's a Yank, and he's still fake. So what is the problem with? Here for your team. You think that the American people, real Detroit line fans or Chicago Bear fans?

are ever going to bet against their squad? Never. I do believe that people do sports wager in the U.S. and they don't always have to pick their... They just won't bet against. They just pick a different game. Maybe. I'm sure there's lots of different strengths.

Unless it's an easy one like that one clearly was for the lions to beat the bears. That was free money. Kind of. I mean, it was, what, five touchdowns for golf? How did he only get five? it was well they ran a few in yeah it was that easy get the app get in in the game that's better than last week dean we have boys boys working our way back no more negativity here that's a big bounce back we from fellas what was our angry record there it was not good if we got no i mean like this week we're

probably 90% that's unreal you're 10 and 12 80% sweet that's sweet and no pushes those are annoying the week one pushes yeah yeah Have we looked ahead to week three yet? Yeah, we got one on Thursday. Nice. I got a little teaser in the Pender report, but I already told Rhett with a week left to live. Does he want to go see Bruce Smith?

Bruce Allen. Stop it. You're confused me. Time for the Pinder report. Presentation of Village Honda. None of these things are numbered Pender. Wow, they're all. Yeah, there's some that art, but then they come up.

Well, just I had to cut some stuff. Didn't just before that, he's out every time before he comes over to this table he says i'm just numbering yeah it's the last thing he does before yeah i want i want everything i want in the show and then once you have everything then you can order it okay so you'd order it so you number it for yourself and jacks who knows it's coming up next but he didn't it's confusing red really no point trying to understand it's well-oiled no i know i understand it if you've watched show for the last two years, we opened the Pinder report with something about the flames.

That's right. Usually it will be your first item. There's one flames item there. I did not number it. Sometimes there's a million flames items. Correct. But on a day where there's one, where would you guess it would be? Yeah, usually it's, here's what's happening at flames nation.com. Right out of the gate. What are we doing first with that? No, I should have deleted the master stuff because I'm boring anyway. And I got lots of good dumb stuff. You guys are going to like. All right. Let's do it. Yes. Village Honda. They're excited. We're excited. We're all excited. we'll see how much we enjoy it. Jury's out, but there's only one way to find out. For the village Honda. I think you're going to like it because we've got some fan brawls.

We always like doing the Warner's whiteboard on the fan scraps. Friendly fire. You know, the guy was in yesterday. I should have brought up the Telestrator. It's weird. You've talked about it every other day that the person that could actually do it wasn't here. I woke up at 4 a.m. this morning. I couldn't sleep because I didn't bring it up.

Stress to me right out. Tallestrator. Yeah. Let's start at Flamesnation. Dot CA for a change, Jack, where we check in on the writers writing, handicapping the Flames camp battles.

Uh-huh. Ahead of the 2025 training camp. Who's in the photo there? Oh. Looks like Zane Perrek center stage. Is he in a camp battle dean? I was, well,

I don't want to let all the air out of Pike and his, uh, hmm. What battles are we talking about? Yeah, like it's probably who's playing with who. It's not who's going to make the D-C. Yeah, so maybe that's what he's talking about. I think it probably is.

De-parings. You can't spoil it. You've got to send you to Flamesnation.com. Yeah, definitely go to flamesnation. Yeah. Went live at 10 a.m. There it is. So it's there for your.

I was hoping to get it before. I know. You think we would get a sneak peek? It's, uh, I'm sure you could get a sneak peek if you want to draw. There's a lot of articles called. A pike peak? A pike peak. A pike peak?

A pike peak. I speak. So good. NHL news, yes. Today this morning. There's new captain in the NHH. Oh, good guys? That's where it gets complicated.

Depends who you ask and depends what mood this person's in. J.T. Miller. Oh. Captain of the New York, Roger. That's a nice thing to put on your resume. It is. Really is. And he's never been a captain before.

He's been a ranger before. Tampa was a very short-lived experiment in the top six and then fourth line and then off to Vancouver. And in Vancouver, he was great, except when he was not getting along with Elias Pedersen and was saying, give me the hell out of here. And not wanting to play for, didn't he take some days off? They gave both those guys some time away, I believe.

It was not good there. It was much better in New York last year. The stats will play that out. 35 points and 32 games in New York, above a point per game, more hits per game, more goals. He played 40 in Vancouver with the same point total and only nine goals, 13 in New York. He was a better ranger than he was at Canuck,

and I think everyone around that at the time, when we were trying to figure what the hell was going on. So you know, what a change of scenery might be good. No one will be surprised if J.T. Miller starts looking like J.T. Miller again, if he goes somewhere else. And he went and did look like the J.T. Miller that Kinnock's fans loved the season prior when they should have beat the Oilers in round two.

Is there anybody that'll be sour in that room? Does Alexa, Alexei, laugh, say, hey. Nope, he wouldn't. Hey, where's mice? see. Adam Fox. Fox would be the one that I find interesting because like Truba's gone.

It was always going to be Truba, Truba Truba. Crider, he's a guy that was a guy that, yeah, they're both gone. Those are the elder statesmen and Panarans in the last year of his deal. Otherwise, maybe it could be him. Yeah. So yeah, Fox is interesting.

It doesn't feel captainy to me. J.T. Fox. Everyone's got their own personnel. Who knows? Just because the guy's there doesn't mean he's going to be named captain. Right. I don't know.

You don't hear like Fox Bad teammate stuff. It's just not feel like a leader of men. If you're in Calgary, Brian. He definitely didn't want to be a leader here or player at all. That was made clear. Not when he was drafted and not when he came to two development camps, but after that, interestingly. Yeah, I mean, Miller, hard to question his desire to win and all that sort of thing.

He would seem to be a play lead by example kind of a guy. You don't wonder, though, maybe it gets a bit carried away. in excess. He had to move away from two different teams because it just was not working. Vancouver was the second. Tampa was the first. Everyone forgets the Tampa chapter. They give up a lot for him and it was like, things didn't go well.

I'd love to dig into that. What the hell happened in Tampa? Brian Leach, long time, Rangers captain, of course, mess. Chip's Chip. What are you talking about? Kelly Kissio. Really? You just named a captain?

Yeah, just because you were saying that's nice to have in your resume. Yeah, it is nice. Kelly Kissio was a captain of the New York Rangers. Look at them now. Yeah. Where is he? Vegas. Still in Vegas?

Yeah. Croshering. Brandon. Congrats. Yeah. Rangers were a complete shitstorm last year, right? Everything they touched us off. It felt like there was a lot of adversity.

Yeah. It's a certain. Ayrkin contract to deal with. Another captain, Chris Drury, right? He wore the sea there for a little bit there. He would know. He'd be well embroiled in the controversy of last season. I don't know if they're going to be good or not,

but there's still a lot of good players on that team if they want to be themselves. Benij added an awful year. They cleared out some cap space. Panarans up, like a lot of people in this league real soon. Panarin be an all right rental, hey? I think they'll be good, though. Like that division. Two years ago, they won.

They won the bloody, what? President didn't they? I think it was either President or like they were East Final. It was, yeah, they were President Trumpy winners. Yeah, they were President top of the East for sure. They should have been better last year. Much. Yeah.

So they weren't getting as many saves and there was all this internal. They had pissed everyone. I think the GM owner players were not on the same page. Yeah. And it makes it. What's your belief that it's not going to trickle into this year? Yeah. Well, that's the thing.

Is it last year the one-off? J.C. Miller's there as the captain. He's got control of the situation. Yeah, JT. wouldn't get embroiled in any locker room stuff. No. He'll just fight Drury. That's right.

And the owner. Yeah. Get down here. Whoever wants to do it. Let's go. Who's that owner with the shitty cover band? I need to talk to him. He's got so much money.

He does stolen. Oh, my God. Yeah, if you own a pro sports franchise or two, because he's the Knicks owner, and like a cable syndicate. Doesn't he own the building? And the spheres. Multiple spheres is going to be around the world is apparently the plan. It's got so much dough.

If you're being noted as having so much dough and we already know you're an owner, you've got lots of dough. So much dough. Are we in or out on the range? If it was your last week. That's his plan. Depends what's going on there, I guess. Probably not.

If it's the wiggles, you're not going on. Drinks are expensive. Well, drinks are expensive. No, because they're talking about Dolan. I can't remember what it is. Like the Wizard of Oz or some frigging thing that they show at the sphere. Yeah. He paid like a crazy amount of money to have this thing adapted to the sphere.

Yeah. It's like, do you know what you're doing, sir? What's happening? It's like it's going to be a billion dollar payoff. It's like people are paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars to go to the sphere to watch this frigging movie. The 400s for a drink. Yeah. It's like, okay.

Well, there's another billion for you, I guess. Good work, bud. idea see he falls through you guys could yeah like we could all fall through a little bit yeah um are we rangers make or miss this year metro's pretty weak washington are we doing our picks well i just like bold predictions take the temperature i don't think it's bold like it's too soon too soon Washington had the huge year but i think everyone knew that was going to be a mirage come playoff time it was the first time for a lot of the young players

um goaltending was exceptional carolina's very good beyond that who we afraid of devils will be healthier that whole yeah i mean the ranger thing it was it was so very obvious that drury wanted to cut guys out of that room yeah it made the whole thing and you know what zabanajad is still there and it's very obvious that drury wants him out to yeah you're too old you're making too much money i don't want you here can you get away from can you get that done whatever you're doing there with that or does that stick around for a bit because the goalie should still be good goalie when he's right is the best in the league i'm hoping it doesn't work okay i'll i'll accept that as an answer too soon good vibes or

bad vibes through the rangers was it a one-off or is this a massive cultural thing jumping back you know they're gonna i don't think it'll be the s show it was last year yeah yeah yeah You're right about it. It's a bit of Jad. That's the one they haven't been able to put on waivers. So what's, how is Drury going to? The other deals.

Did they move that? Chondry Miller went to Carolina. That was a guy on it that had a tough year in these shitty circumstances, but was widely regarded as a good young defensive prospect slash young player emerging. Yeah. Until last year. And I'll see.

Jay's victorious last night. They needed to score in the 11th inning. and did so to beat the raise 2 to 1. Trey Savage had a debut for the ages, fellas. We said it was Trey Day yesterday's MLB debut, drafted last summer. This is good, a 52.8% whiff rate. He throws, they swing, and mostly miss.

Since 2009, highest by any starting pitcher and a debut. Greatest by a Blue Jay ever. And 9K is your first time up in the Biggs after starting in a low-class A ball this year. That's a nice little year. nine the standings getting interesting

jays three up now on Detroit for the top seed in the American League that comes to the buy as does second seed and it's a bit of a gap now with the Yankees five back Boston six back

basically play a 500 and it's long over you force the teams to run the table with their final 12 games or whatever It is an amazing story. It is because no one had them peg to do this. And it's not a totally dissimilar group from the guys that were miserable and hard to watch last year. The Rangers need to take a page out of the Jay's book.

Carl Schneider. Sort of. It's maybe not a direct parallel. But we were just talking about the Rangers. Also, don't have dates yet because we don't have the playoff stuff yet. Excited to get back to Greta. We will be there for a Jay's playoff watch party. Jack wants more hot dogs.

the rest of those nine are still there. He's got his other four. He's got to finish. Hey, when did it all turn around for the Jays this year? Did you put on a hat one day? No, I'm saying, was it your hot dog eating thing?

They were kind of rolling at that point, starting to get rolling. The schedule is a nightmare April, May. If they could just be 500 by May. Jack, could you comb through the Major League Baseball schedule. Yeah, game by game and see when it really started. They had a 10-game heater, I want to say in June.

that swung everything around. End of June they were in Boston. That's the first of 10 in a row. Oh, that's a good looking shirt. It's beautiful. Well, keep moving. NFL last night. We talked about it.

The Bucks win, the Chargers win, and Rhett, we've got a date for you on Thursday unless you're going to Borobora to be sitting in a... To die? Yeah, to die and Borobora. If you're not, then this is your plan for Thursday night. 615. I don't know what the hell I've been doing here.

Dolphins bills. I have the Ravens. Uh-huh. The Jays were playing in New York. I could have went to the J's Yankees. Because you're a big, Yankee, both,

both fan. Oh, the shovelers are a huge Yankees, yeah, yeah. Well, I think,

isn't Buffalo still near Toronto? Yes. There's going to be some Jays games and Bill's games coming up. It's not too late. Mixing a double header. I'm moving. All right.

Did this two years ago, three years ago, us. Well, at least here he said he was going to do it. You got three days notice. Okay, let's keep moving.

CFL stamps off by. They play Friday. 7.30. Look at this drone show. That's crazy. I had a drone spying on me in the hot tub last night. That's great. Were you clothed?

Check it out. That'll be on the Pinder apart tomorrow, Jack. So who's in trouble? Somebody's had that foot around in the buck. I can assure you it's not the stampeters flying drones over your hot tub, but it might be someone else. Didn't they have fighter jets circling yesterday? What was going on here? Yeah, they did.

Read about that? You got a tinfoil hat. Yeah, you should be all over that. There was some stuff going on yesterday. Except to the airport. It's a big deal. Odds for the Thursday night game. It's the VA revenge game.

Of course, Vernon Adams has spent a bulk of his career with the Lions, or at least the most recent chapter before coming to Calgary after they brought back Nathan Rourke from the NFL. He's been excellent when he's been healthy. The stamps have been unreal. They are favored by four and a half. What day is this guy? At McMahon.

Friday, 730. There you go. Hawaiian T-shirt Day. Also, indigenous celebration night and a drone show. And your birthday? No. Oh. Is that a Hawaiian t-shirt?

This is not. There's nothing about Hawaii here, unless there's desert snakes and vultures that I didn't know about there. Feels very kind of breaking bad New Mexico. Yes, it does. It's, uh, yeah, I'll go with desert. Yeah. Are we doing the double header, Ryan?

Stamps and cabs? It would be kind of rude not to. It would be kind of rude not to. Yeah. I mean, look, they haven't lost them we're there. We'll do anything we can do to help. You guys are so giving. We want the team to win.

He's got help at home. I got lots of child care. Reminder if you want to catch the cabs this weekend. Saturday, they play Valor. Elfitton Castle running buses. Join Jack and I. Get your share plate. Free pint of Carlsberg.

Ticket included round trip. Zoot. Transportation. Jack Love. The link in the show description. That of some dumb stuff. Rhett said he was in Lethbridge. Plus he took last weekend,

Ross. Yeah, I'll be ready to go. Oh, yeah. You would say, you saw a guy with a jersey from like the 50s or something. He told him, I'm sure it was 51. Well, someone was watching the show and they got to the bottom of this. So this is AI, obviously, so it's got to be right.

The main hockey team in Lethbridge during the 50s was the Lethbridge native sons. Details about the team. They played in the Western Canadian Junior Hockey League from 48 to 56. In 51, they won the league and represented Canada at a European tournament and return home to a hero's welcome. There you go. The native sons. Good looking jersey, you said. It was.

All right. There was no way the guy wearing it called the team by that name. Correct. That was the name of the team in 1950s. I believe it to be. I'm just saying that this guy was completely out of time. According to AI, though. AI is dead.

AI's dead. It's already peaked. It's over. Rhett was heavy and hot on AI for three years. Now it's peaked. Are you completely off the AI? Gabby trusted. Oh.

Hey, tell me about the Flames game last night. Lanny McDonald had three goals and an assist to help the flames over. Yeah, what? I don't know that this is accurate. When we had my on my LISD. Landi played? When we had McGratton coming in. I mean, I know plenty about McGrath.

Lett, AI. He was a, played for the Ottawa 67s. It was a first round pick of the Toronto. I know, none of this is accurate. I don't know any of that happening. So, Brian,

tell me about you and Wendell going first over all. What was the pressure like to be in the top 10 pick? Yeah, it's tough to live up to that. Ottawa, quite a town, huh? What the fuck are you talking about?

Let's get to the good stuff. The Bengals have been a tough watch this year. They're somehow two and oh, despite nearly losing to the Browns and now losing Joe Burrow for, what, two to three months? It's so bad that fans,

that fans and sweets are fighting each other. Tiger strikes, they're angry. All tigers. Old dude. He throwing rights to the lady. I feel like that's a big no-down. He gets knocked over, back to his feet. All right, you're done.

No, I'm not done. I'm coming back for more. The left. We got a jersey. A headlock going on there. Is this how Joe Burrow got hurt? I see Burrow there. Please.

Yeah, turtow. Sweet toe. Sweet toe. Sweet conkey. Two of those getting handed out. So he do it. Obviously not a hockey fan because he would have known to take the old gray-haired dude and jersey him.

Yeah. And then start feeding him. Jack, I just saw something. I think there's a Your Mom 69 jersey at the bat. Oh, yeah. That was the first thing I saw. That is, that's a Jersey foul.

There it is. Your Mom, 609. Yeah, okay, we can get to the bottom of this case real quick. The Your Mom 69 jersey is the instigator. Ohio! this might be more up red sally i don't know that he wants to scrap a guy in your mom 69 jersey but uh they want to scrap anyway this was a cowboy's fan not a lot's been great for the cowboys

they lose week one they needed a monster kick to win week two but there is this cool helmet no uh are you in or you out on that is that too much or is that just right i'm in all the way yeah deadly until it stops working and it's stuck on my face. Yeah. How many thousand dollars of this? I have to cut it off.

You've had nine beers and your face is all bloated and you can't get the thing off. Firefighters got the jaws of life getting you out of there. We'll keep moving. We have another football fighters. Oh no, this is, okay. So I'm imagining this is South America.

Football. Huge. You know, you got the Argentina's, the Brazil's, all the great players. Massey, Peli. Maradonna, but you also have mixed martial art legends.

How does one continent produce so much excellence, you might ask yourself? Then you see this video, which is some sort of blend between MMA and soccer. So I think it's kind of like hitting in hockey

where if you play the puck, there's a couple seconds there. Touch the ball. And you're fair game. This is why you got the call from your kid's school, isn't it? I don't know that there's gloves,

but the rest is probably not. I mean, at least there's head. gear and gloves here. Bang. Oh. Yeah, I'd be getting that ball out of there quick. Beginning out.

Yeah, you got to move it. I have 100% out. You don't want to watch it? I don't know. I don't want to play it. I don't think I even enjoy watching it. Oof. It's not far from lacrosse if we want to be totally honest.

That's fair. Right? That's a great point. There's not a lot. There's a little less body armor, but you don't have a weapon in your hands. You don't have a stick here. Pretty. Those guys know how to punch.

Now remember. Bare feet? I know. RJ. Before we start our next clip, do you remember the Loonytune that was at Costco with the t-shirt of the barcode for the rotissory chicken? Right. And he was just so proud to wear his t-shirt where they would zap the barcode on his shirt.

Yeah, they wouldn't need to scan the chicken. Because that's so tedious. He already had it on his shirt. On his shirt. Very. cool guy that didn't need attention. So cool. Yeah.

I think we might have won up that. Let's go to the tape at Costco. So there's your checkout line. We have a beef jerky tramp stamp barcode. Go Eagles. That's the worst. It can't get worse than that. That's high quality inkwork right there.

It is. That is. Not anything there's like quality. Because can you imagine if you slipped up a little bit? And you know she'd just be dying to you. Do we need any jerky? Babe. The patchy's full of fucking jerky.

I'll go again today. Fine. Why did I get this tattoo? If I, okay, fine. On my spine. All right. Get, yes. Get some jerky. Jack, you're single thoughts?

I love it. I love it. Hope Jack links or whatever is getting there. Paying her. Oh, man. We're not going to top that. That's your pinned report for this Tuesday. What a gal.

What a gallon. Dean, that's a catch. Go birds. Keepers, Dean. Some people are keepers. Yeah. One of one. Very nice.

Village Honda located in the Northwest Automol online village honda.com. They're part of the Wood Automotive group. If you don't see what it is you're after on the lot, then still go in and have a chat. Oh, they got that huge network. Plus, just the Civic Hybrid, North American car of the year, the Ridge line, car and driver ranks it tops in its class. And new in stock inventory. By now, I'm thinking we're 2025. right?

Coming soon. You could get a 25 or you could inquire about a 26. I got a list that. That's always a nice move when you got the year. It's like, oh, is that a new one? Is that 20, that's a new one? It's a 26. From the future, right?

Yeah. Space travel. I'd maybe do that if I was dying. You got time? Can we, is that the thing yet? No, AI 31 or whatever the hell that thing's called us on. What about your flying cars? So are they?

That's not going to say. Damn it. It's going to take out Mars and we're next. What about the VR headsets? Can you? Why wouldn't you just go to the place your VR? Well, it's just so fast. Your last week.

I've seen some videos. There's some things you can do with those VR headsets now. It's so realistic. Jack's nodding his head like a sick bastard. Well, you can go to the Louvre in Paris. You don't have to fly all the way over to go see the art. It feels like you're really there. We're going to put you in the rainforest.

All right. Yeah, the sensation of being at the museum. I'm so like. I'm tingling all over yeah that's right that's correct sir um that we're going to take just a quick break but it's awesome but it is going to make some of us feel old that is the one thing about our next conversation is that um 20 plus years shouldn't fly by like it's flown by what happened to our lives There will be, it's like, so many people, that's awesome. And then their kids are like, what is that?

Huh? Oh, go sit outside. But really, you're just mad at yourself. Go cut the lawn or something, gee. For being old. Special guest in studio. Stay there, buddies. All right, we are back.

Welcome our new guest, who is not new to Rhett and I, nor the flames fabric of the city. soccer enthusiast, entrepreneur, and a man who created a piece of Calgary lore. I had no idea this was you for James McRey. Quite a while. Are you kidding me? Yeah. Wow. Thanks for having me on, guys. Looking forward to chatting about the shirt.

So take us back. You are sporting the hanging in the dome, chilling with Jerome T-shirt, which is boom alluded to. Anyone over the age of 35 is totally dialed in on in the city. spin us a little yarn here where and when did this incredible concoction come to be uh before we get started i i was i haven't been this nervous since the first time i asked ret for his autograph yeah i know it's i had to use the washroom before we start you guys keep it clean in there so give you

credit for that uh just lied a couple times there um so i grew up in st albert and used to play all sorts of sports against iggy not hockey because he was so good but i've played all the sports that he could dominate, like T-ball, five-pin bowling, and cross-country running. So my mom had taken this old shirt of us at this cross-country running meet that was just in an album for years and years and years.

And your mom's like chief photographer on Earth. It's incredible. So the 04 playoffs gets going. And my brother and I, sorry to say this guys, but we're oil fans, but of course we grew up in San Diego, grew up, and we're like, can't wear a flame shirt during the O4

playoff run. So we got out that old photo and isolated Iggy by himself and used the lyrics from the song that was created by, I think it was 5985. Yeah, it went viral. Hanging in the dome, show the Jerome. And put this shirt together. My brother, Andy,

and I printed off like 20 of these shirts. And so we wore them to the next game. I think it was in round two. And we're walking around the dome. And everyone is losing their minds over these shirts. It's like, where are these from? Where did you get? How do I get one? And so it just went viral from there.

So we reached out to Peter Handlin at the Flames and asked Peter if he could check in with Iggy, if he was okay with us mass producing these things with the caveat that all the money goes to Kidsport. And Iggy being the guy that he is endorsed it right away. So we ended up selling enough shirts to raise $10,000 for Kidsport. but this is the interesting part where Rhett comes in is, you know, Andy talked to Rhett and said, well, we can get these shirts to the guys in the dressing room. So I don't know how it was concocted, but Rhett took all the special orders for the players.

There were a couple double X-Ls in there. And then the guys started wearing them. And there's pictures, there's interviews. I remember Billy Neiman, was in the Calgary Sun being interviewed. He was wearing a shirt. And it just kept going and going and going. Let's look at the photo because you alluded to this was a cross-country race. I'm trying to look for you, James.

I keep scanning the photo. Those are my chicken legs on the left. Look at the high socks. Does this not scream like 1985 here? This is unreal. Yeah, so that would have been 87. Holy moly. And like just sheer luck for what we did that Iggy was in a red t-shirt.

You know what a match? Yeah. And I imagine the black ribbon is first place. knowing he's prowess he certainly would have finished ahead of me there's no doubt it's so good and so your mom somehow gets this in front of you and that's that that is literally that silly idea of like hey look at this photo sun turns into a viral t-shirt during the chaos of the 04 run yeah what i'd be like do you remember much in the dress room how this all went down well i just think everyone saw the same as in the crowd It was like, oh, I have to have that.

Right? It's just one of those. Yeah, I got to wear that. Okay. So that was 04. It was a hit. You raised a ton of money for kidsport. So how are we back here today?

Yeah. So the trio at Sea of Dead, Kim, Jonathan, and Peter reached out to me and said, hey, could we recreate these shirts? And I said, yeah, but it's got to be for kidsport again. And it just lines up with their 30th anniversary. And they had a big fundraiser on Saturday, you guys probably aware of. They announced since Kidsport started in 95, they've helped 85,000 young Calgarians get involved in sports and directed 25 million to them for equipment and registration fees.

Unreal. Yeah. We partner with Kidsport with their playoff draft. It's a cause everyone can get behind. Everyone understands the importance of youth having access to sport and all the life lessons we can learn. But 30 years. Yeah. And at the event, there was a Flames alumni table.

And Connie was there. So I went up to Connie and tapped him on the shoulder. I said, you remember these. He's like, I might still have it in my closet. I got to go home and look. And I said, that's fine if you don't have it because you got to buy another one. And I keep telling everyone, again, the goal is to raise $10,000 for kidsport. Tell the richest guy, you know, to buy them in bulk.

And that gets us closer and closer that 10 grand. And I said, we can get them all to the Flames players again. but they're all paying for them because they know they can afford it. Yes. Unreal. So you remember the fellow is just trotting around in these? I just, well,

I think it was your brother, the first person I saw wearing. Yeah. I was like, well, excuse me if we got here. Like, yeah.

Well, I looked just before I came on with you guys and I see in the O4 playoff run, when you got your shirt, it inspired you to zero goals in the playoffs. Wow. Got a play of all. How many do Kipper have, to be fair?

Yeah, there you go. There you go. We were only one goal away. Jesus. He's just one. Game six would have been a good time. I checked in with Ryan before I came on, and these guys said you're an adult media.

So I brought a shirt for you to put on. I think he was probably an Excel back then, but he's really, he's fasting one day a week. He's trimmed down. Look at that, eh? And if people are, see it dead, see a dead. How do I know that? They obviously, they do get a lot of the cannons remakes, the rad stuff, Calgary 88s, corral, lots of like historic Calgary brands brought back to life.

So nice to partner with them, I imagine. Absolutely. Yeah. And the one thing I'd say about the shirts that you guys were talking to before I came on is, we sold 250. We're just at this for a week. Wow. And of course, we got the whole season to go.

everyone in the dome wearing them at the event I was at on Saturday like five or six people came up said I had one of those where did you get that so the it'll go viral again yes and what we need people to do as well as we we made kid shirts so those that are nostalgic I was just going to say there's no way that my kids aren't going to be begging for the shirt amazing well they'll fit newish medium that's fine right the website see of dead 403 dot CA It is a Calgary institution. They got some great stuff up there. And proceeds to Kids Sport, Calgary.

I know you've been intertwined with Kidsport for a while. We talked about why it's a great charity, but personally, I mean, there's lots of great charities out there. Well, they talked about this at their gala on Saturday and just the things that sport teaches kids. And you guys all know it, live it and breathe it, just the idea of teamwork, discipline, just committing to something,

and all those lessons that come through sport. and they put on a video of three or four kids who are beneficiaries of kid sport. And they were talking about there's no way they'd be able to do what they've been able to accomplish in the sport there. And there was a fencing kid who's gone to a very high level. And Sam Matakubi was there from the Vancouver white caps.

And he got emotional on the stage. He, you know, was capped by Canada, played in the last World Cup. And his family, when they immigrated, from England, they have three kids and they were beneficiaries of kidsport. And he acknowledges he, there's no way he would have got to the level he's at now, had it not been for kid sports involvement helping pay for his registration fees. Life changing. He's playing in Turkey for like what, five years or whatever.

He's in Europe playing in World Cups, all because kidsport was there in our city to help a family that was new to the country get into sport. Crazy. 100%. And maybe even more important in today's world. Well, you know, kidsport's always a double-edged sword because it's amazing how many kids they support and how much money they've given away. But you wish it on the other side of the coin that they didn't have to do that. Yeah.

But the need is so high in the city. And you guys, you know, you've lived here long enough. This city always sets the bar for social causes like this. So kidsport, Calgary is the most successful best run across the nation. and you know Kevin Webster and his team there do just an absolutely amazing job supporting all these families and inspiring these kids. Steve Dead 403.com.C.A. to get your shirt. They're on sale until they're gone. Are you going to keep printing them as long as people order them? We'll keep printing them as long as people keep buying them.

Yeah. Amazing. And can we get one to Connor? I know you mentioned your Oilers fan. Can we get McDavid and one? I know that really helped the sales push. Would that work for you? We'll try our best. Andy was actually at Eminton. And last night, he was talking to Stauffer. So by the way, Stoffer said to say hi to you guys. Yeah, we're pals now, apparently. He watches the show all the time. But we'll work our way in in Edmonton.

It's a St. Albert Boy that we're doing this all around. So we'll see if we can slide them into a shirt. Can we get Iggy in one and a photo taken? Well, someone's got to hook us up with it. Yeah, well, we've had a podcast for three years and haven't had Iggy once. So I don't hold your breath. No email. It's like, Brett doesn't get email on his phone.

I don't know. Otherwise, I'm sure. James, thanks for being here, man. All the best. We'll, again, say C of Dead 403.3.C.A. to get your shirt. Best of luck with the campaign. Great. You're doing it again. And even better to get back into the nostalgia of that O4 run. Any luck with this beautiful piece of attire that you're selling. It really was a time. For people that weren't old enough, like that spring in Calgary was unlike anything. Because it wasn't the 89 team that had already been to a final and a team that people

expected to win. And it just felt like every other night was a circus in the city. Well, the Vibe 985 was awesome when we did this. That was how we sold most of our shirts. And they had like a van and they'd park it on the red mile. Of course, everyone carried cash back then and the shirts were 20 bucks. And they would just be handing these things out hand over fist as the people flooded towards the van. And yeah, it was a crazy, crazy movement. And I remember Nick Kiprios at the end of the playoffs. on SportsNet said, like, my only regret of the playoffs is I didn't get one of those egy shirts.

I think we found a way ultimately to get one of those shirts to them. Yeah. Get them wearing that on his show. It's your own. That'd be unreal. Thanks for being here. I appreciate it. Jack, we've got super chats to do and we can close the show, although it seems light on

the super chat front or do we have any sea of dead comments regarding the old, no super chats today. Not a shirt is in, the link is in a description. Links in description. Great. Go get your shirts. Go get your shirts. Appreciate it, James.

Grab two, grab five. We've got to get noodles one in Toronto. He'll wear one for sure. It's fine for all your friends. Yes. Christmas. You said the richest guy you know. Brett, just how many box?

Get rid of that turkey goblo shirt you're wearing. Thanks for being with us today. We'll be back to more on another barn bird of James. Thanks for being here. Appreciate it. And see you, buddies.
