Hey, here we go. It is a Wednesday edition. The, I guess I should have done that yesterday, hey? The penultimate show of 2020. Still don't know what that means. Yeah, it's a big deal. Just know that. It's a big deal.

Hey, welcome to the show. It is Wednesday. It is New Year's Eve. Happy New Year's Eve to everybody. This show, a presentation of Bet 365, game props, player props, totals, the money line, whatever you're bed. is never, ever ordinary at Pet 365. Download the app, get in the game. You've got to be 19 or older.

Of course, bet responsibly. And I mean, we're live, so we may as well do the super chat. If you've got a thought, a comment, you put it into the YouTube chat as we do the show. With a little, you know, a little, just a sprinkle, just a little bit. And we'll move along the money to the U.S. of Calgary and get your comment on the show. Maybe even throughout the show. Maybe we won't even wait till the end of the show.

depending on how good it is. Let me just throw it right in there. We'll see how it goes. I think you're talking out a turn. Perhaps. Those are bold statements. Hasty, yeah. That's just,

you know what's New Year's Eve? I'm just in a party mood, I guess. Aren't we all? We're just all, we're not, are we? We're not really feeling. I don't know how festive I am.

The BCE was excellent. I told you that you should have done a N. NYU excellent thing. I would have been great because my attitude is complete shit. Yeah. Maybe it's too much. You know, maybe it's just too much. That's true. I can't handle the downside of the, it's so much build up, so much hype, so much excitement. Yeah. The gifts, the joy. It's all going to balance out at some point, right?

Other depression. Yeah. Yeah. Got to come back around. We are here in the McLeod Law LLP studios. Separately together today, I appreciate, appreciate you guys. I've got some stuff today. I got some running around to do this afternoon. Guess what it is. Guess what my commitment might have anything to do with shortly after 12 noon? Food, family, or pets? Yeah, it's family. Yeah. We've got some rink runs to be made. And then some decisions to be made. Where to party? Yeah. Like what's who who's getting blessed by the boom? home cat tonight.

Who's the lucky devil it's going to have this guy rolling through their door? Hello, the ladies. Hello, everybody. Well, let's do this, shall we? I've left my underwear at home, so I'm ready to party. Exit 2025 with a bang.

See how that goes. Yeah. Well, there's no other way. There's no other place to start. Are you doing anything tonight? Me or Jack? Well, you. I'll start with you. I have lots of plans.

plans and, oh, wait, I'm an idea guy. So I've got lots of ideas and no plans. That's a better way of saying it. Yep, lots of ideas, no plans. Yeah, I've got a few ideas. I feel like fatigue will factor in at some point because I don't know that there's going to be a big nap or anything today. So I'll tell you what, midnight is a long way off.

Oh, it's a long way from now. It is so far away. I can't even see it from here. Oh, my goodness. Now, Jack has been croaken. Yeah. Yep. As in not dying, but he's been.

We're not sure. Sounding very logy, very black, very, you know what? Kind of goosh, to be honest. Maybe worse today. Now, is it just because you haven't been talking, you haven't had coffee, or are you still, which, if it was one of these things, like a, like a charge or something? Are we, uh, or a, uh, uh, whoi, which, which? I still sound horrible, but I feel completely fine. I just have a tingle in my throat that I don't know how to get rid of.

I need RET's expert advice. But I'm coming around on the idea of going out tonight. And that might be a disaster come tomorrow. No, I've often had, you've got to drink brown liquor. That's all. Brown liquor. Yeah, brown. To do the soul.

That is some old guy. advice. Oh, you just got a, oh, I just drink some straight little straight brown liquor. That'll straighten you right up. Lots of ice. Scotch. Yeah. Or the issues you're soon to have, the

tickle in your throat will be far down the line. Yes. Things you'll have to deal with. If I know you, Jack, and if I were to text tomorrow, be so did you end up going out? The answer will be yes. It will be yes. And I will feel like shit. Yeah. And

it'll just be never ending. It's all right. All right. We heard that song. So, no. Well, we got a lot to do today. No Jamie McClennan. He is traveling.

He texts this one. You guys probably aren't doing shows. Like, no, actually, we are doing shows. Like, oh, man, I'm traveling. I bid him a very happy. He does not leave us hanging ever. So he's going to enjoy his New Year's Eve. We'll get back into the.

routine next week. There is a Flames game tonight, and that, no disrespect, but it feels like it is kind of secondary because as we start this show just moments ago, the roster was unveiled for the Canadian entry to the Winter Olympic Games coming up in February. In Berlin. And there's a lot of people, you know what, there's, ooh, we're wringing our hands and there's a lot of, is this guy, that guy make, is this guy going to be? Well, as is often the case, the lion's share of the guys that are on this roster you would have picked.

There are a handful of changes from the roster that took the ice at the Four Nations face off. Out, we can start there. Out, two of the goaltenders. Aiden Hill, Sam Montembow, we, ooh, see ya. Sam Bennett is not going. despite being a four nations champ and a cons might, the Stanley Cup, the whole thing.

No Benny. Seth Jarvis is injured. He is out. And Travis Kineckney, who Flames fans will see tonight as the Flyers come to town. He is out. So it's kind of a is there any way for me to throw?

So who do you think are in? Two goaltenders. We can start there. The guy in Washington. Logan Thompson is in, the Calgary Kid. And I can't help but wonder if maybe he's got maybe an inside track on starting, but they'll figure all that out. Yes, Logan Thompson is in and a Saskatoon boy, Darcy Kemper has made the squad in place of Aden Hill or whatever. Those two are out.

Kemper Thompson and Jordan Bennington will be the netminers. And it feels like this was always the one boy when Canada's goaltending situation is just the shits. when it comes around to the Olympics. I don't know what they're going to do. How are we going to do? All that sort of thing. How do you feel about it when you start to look around? I feel fine about it because I actually,

I mean, I would have Bennington as my third. I thought Kemper was unbelievable against the Oilers in the playoffs last year. And he's being good. He would be my two. And Thompson would be number one. I don't think we're paying enough attention to Washington and how well he plays.

And I don't think he's not. I don't think you have to have a hash. It's nice. It's nice to have a hashic or a wa or a broder or a historically good. I think if you have a hot goaltender, it's just fine. Right? Like you don't have to have Grant Fior who is the best forever. Maybe Thompson will, but I think he's playing, he's at the top of the game.

His numbers would be, wouldn't they? Yeah. Oh, no. His, since came in with Vegas, moved on. to Washington and his numbers got better. And I know that the capitals are struggling a little bit, but I don't really have a whole lot of issue with it. Factored in with, you know, what's what's Hellebuck going to be for the Americans.

We could get down the line and all of that. But for today, it's about Canada. Thompson, Kemper, and Jordan Bennington are the goalies. The rest of the moves are all forward. Sam Bennett out, Seth Jarvis out, Travis Kineckney out, And the questions it's all been. Is Carter Bedard going to make it? Is Macklin Celebrini going to make it?

Bedard has been injured. He's only started skating. The event isn't for a couple of months. I think you could probably squint and assume that Bardard would be in good health by the time it rolls around. So I don't know how big of a... I don't know how big of a role that injury played. But Bard is not going.

Celebrini is going. and how do you not take Celebrini? It's he's 19, but he is one of the best players in the planet right now. 100%. Should be on the team, is on the team?

Gotta do it. There's no debating it. Watching the world juniors, and what was that watching the circle K? Because God, I love watching hockey. Yeah. And the conversation was, you could literally have two teams out of Canada.

Right? And it's kind of the same for this. It's like you're splitting hairs when you're deciding who's now. McDavid and Crosby. Okay. Yeah, they're the best of the best. But when you get down the lineup and you don't take Bennett and you don't take

Kinecti and you don't take Badaard, well, it's not like you're going from their tens to ones and taking a chance on someone. These are very similar capable players. It sounds like an arrogant comment to make where, oh, we could put two teams in, but you really could. don't know how well that other team would fare because there's some very good teams, but they would be

just fine in a round rob and like I got you really could just fine. They might win. They'd be just fine. So I don't like the, well, I can't remember what you've said, but I'll let you keep go. No, so we can we can take a look at the roster. So Celebrini is in and, uh, and Connor Bedard is not. The other two guys that are going are Bo Horvarez. and Tom Wilson. So there's the forward group. Crosby McDavid-David Celebrini. Sam Reinhardt, Nathan McKinnon.

Those guys were named early, as was Braden Point. So Sorrelli is going back, as is Brandon Hagel, the two Tampa Bay Lightning forwards. Bo Horvatt has had a decent year. He is in. He's a newcomer. Brad Marchand is back. Mitch Marner, Mark Stone,

Nick Suzuki, Tom Wilson. up front. And then on the back end, familiar names. McCar, Taves, Sanheim, Shea, Theodore, Josh Morrissey, Thomas Harley, Colton Pareko, and Drew Doughty. Dowdy had been saying in the last few days, I expect to be there. I've done a lot with Hockey Canada, with Team Canada, and I suspect that I'll be there. And in fact, he is. Now, how much playing time he will get remains to be seen. But that is the crew. And again, the Euler fans are going to be harping and whining about not having

about not having Evan Bouchard there. I'm sure that there's going to be some cases made for certain players to be on this squad. I just, I don't know at the end of the day if it's, I mean, the Bennett one is interesting. I don't. I'm really surprised they took Wilson over Bennett, just because he won last year and then he went on to win a Conn-Smith. Like, I don't know what Bennett has done for his stock to go down. Right. And especially if, and then if you want to go and call up his, well, what are his numbers?

That doesn't matter. It's just knowing that he has proven to be one of the best money players in the game when the chips are down. Yeah. So he's not trying to get you 100 points. But neither is Tom Wilson. And I'm not taking a shot of Tom Wilson because I'd love him on my team. It's just, I'm a little. little surprised that the guy that was there last year and helped you win and went on to win

the cons might in a big tournament. Didn't get invited back. Yeah. Okay. Those, those are the guys that you really value and that you keep guys that you feel that you can count on. Yeah. When, when shit gets heavy and when it's when it's starting to ramp up, you feel okay with this

guy coming over the boards. He's been just fine as far as regular season is concerned. Excuse me. And we know what he is in the playoffs. Does that mean that their less, that their chances go down? I don't, it's such,

like you said, the depth is so, is so great that they are going to win or lose on the backs of the big guys. If the goaltending isn't good, it doesn't matter if it's Bennett or Sorrelli or Hagel. It's going to be about the goaltending. But there it is.

I don't, again, I feel bad. I was at when we were over Christmas Eve at Hubey's place there and we were at Mahogany Troyes. There were some guys

Oh, what do you think about like Sanheim? What about Pareko on the back? Do you like that? I mean, I don't know. You're not sitting up at night getting wound up. Whether or not Paraco

should be on the team or not. What I think it comes down to, again, is it's the on paper the value you see in a name Sidney Crosby Nathan McKinnon Colton Perico

it just doesn't well okay well who else do you I don't want Evan Bouchard on there this is not an Oilers Flames oh you hate it's not that and I get the oiler fans are how can you watch the guy play

and feel like he deserves to be among the best on the world stage He is offensively one of the most gifted guys on the planet, but he will absolutely cost you at the worst time. I don't want any part of that. No, I don't need him to be my offense on Team Canada. I've got plenty. I've got better defensemen that can do more.

And it is not a shot because I don't like the Oilers. There is no chance. I want him defending against the rest of the world's best players. No. No chance. Thank you at all. I don't want him on the ice against the other team's best players.

No effing way. Yeah. I have enough confidence in McCar and Josh Morrissey, Thomas Harley, to provide offense from the blue line whatever needs to be done. He's just too high risk.

He's not going to be the driver. Even if Bouchard was on there, I don't, I get wound up about it anyway because I like, tripping oil is it's like so he's the driver on your power play yeah if the bush is the guy that yeah take a couple of those guys off put him on another it's going to change and it doesn't need to be a bushar bash but it's just there's just no no way um i guess i'm a little curious i guess about

the bohorvat ad yesterday the the standings went up and i'm like how are the islanders like in second in their division or whatever. Like I was like, he must be playing well. I'm guessing he's part of the reason they are where they are. And again, it's very tight. But I wouldn't have expected the Islanders to be in a playoff position

at this point in the season. And probably part of the reason they are there, I'm guessing, is because of Bo Horvats play. Hence, I'm like, oh, he must be playing. Well, and that's why he's on the team. Now, again,

how do you take Bo Horvatt over Sam, Bennett who's done what he's done, I don't know. I don't understand that. But if they win, what the hell difference does it make? At the end of the day, all of it is, did you win? Oh, okay, then. It's kind of like Babcock. It's like, wow, he's a great coach.

No, he had the best team ever assembled. He's not a great coach. Yeah. He didn't have to do anything. You guys go. Thank you. Yeah. You know what?

Tom Wilson, guys had a great ear. You're fine being there. You know what you're getting out of those guys. Who cares if you need that and want that player on your team? Absolutely. Go get it. Just looking at some of the chat, some of the people as well, what, you know, Mark Stone? Does he, he's another one of those guys.

He is, if he's healthy, when the games matter, he is a very effective guy. He can do everything for you. he'll win draws he can be a power play nuisance in front of the net he can kill penalties he's big he's strong um nick suzuki's been tremendous tom wilson has had a very good year and it's i i don't know that you're going to run into a spot where he's costing you with bad penalties or any he's just a big he's hard to handle and has scored a bunch of goals already this year he's having a great season and marchand he's having scored again last night he's having an unreal year.

And the rest of the, yeah, Sorrelli and Hagel, well, is it because Cooper's coaching the team? 100%? Sure. But that's happened a lot over the course of time where a coach at the end is maybe going to be able to, I feel pretty,

here's a little, there's three or four guys in this basket. I feel pretty strongly about this guy. That's how it's going to go. Yeah. You know, preco is on the team. Doug Armstrong,

Armstrong is Perico's GM. He's on the team. Well, yeah, it's probably going to happen. Probably going to happen sometimes. Well, yeah, I mean, are you excited? Getting jerseys, you all wound up? I don't know. What were you and Jack saying in the pre-show?

What was that? I got my hat, Canada hat on. So I'm ready. You are ready. Jack wants me to be a truck. He's trying to recruit you over to the other side. What's that about? Jack. Come on over retro.

I got a whole I got a whole house full of yanks I got to deal with. Don't worry about me. Still? Oh, God. Isn't that nice when they hang because sometimes they'll come, in-laws will come for the holidays and then you know, boxing day they leave. Oh, we were just starting to have fun. It's nice when they hang out. I've got to visit. Yeah, really stick around for

a while and drink all the booze and eat your food. just really kind of settle in nice. I like that. Yeah. I like that a lot. I don't have the comments on my screen at the studio, and I don't have them on TV very often. There's a lot of stupidity that's talked about in this chat.

Well, I think what it is just, it's a stream of consciousness. It's a stream of conversation. Sometimes you put things out there that you may or may not feel. Like there's some Connor Ingraham. Insight. Okay. Yeah, surprised with the goalie choices. I don't know what,

I don't know what's surprising about that. It's, you know, Montembow has Montembourg played for the first time. And I don't know how many, is that what we are? We're shocked. They have not been happy with Montembow. I don't think out in Habsland. Yeah. I kind of feel for Bardard.

I do wonder if he doesn't get injured. if you're looking at the league standings. Oh, there's Celebrity. He's up there. I mean, Baderd was kind of right there too until recently. I think they would have had a harder time if he didn't get it. I think it would have been, you got some splaining to do,

fellas. What are we dealing with here? Even with the injury, 44 points in 31 games, 19 goals. He would have had. I'll tell you what I like about him this year, is that he's, I think he's trying to show. that he wants to be on that team and he's got a bit of a

chip on his shoulder and I like that last year I was like this guy's a poopie pants he's not having fun and doesn't this is and now I'm like okay this is better yeah go get it I don't know if he's any good in his own end maybe he costs you but I think if he doesn't get injured that the conversation

is it's a little different yeah it's different for sure and at the end of the day the celebrini thing was much ado about nothing. Of course he's there. That was one of my bold predictions at the start of the year

that he was going to make it. And with every passing week, oh, so you'll take the second leading score in the league. You'll take the third overall score in the National Hockey League. It's not about his age. He's playing 20 minutes a night. He's 48% in the face off dot.

He's a plus 13 and the numbers beyond that. He's got 60 points in 30. games. And I don't think he's being criticized as being one-dimensional in his approach to hockey. No. Right? Like, that will be the, if Badaard was on the team while he's terrible in his own end. And maybe he is.

I watched him. But I know his old coach from junior and his old coach from junior said, I got to get him playing at all the other both ends. I'm like, no, you don't. No, you don't. He's there to put up points. So let's let him do it. Yeah. I've got this thoroughbred.

He's like real fast, but doesn't haul a wagon to save his life. We've got to turn this more of a plow horse, you know? I'd let him run, you know. You got enough plow horses in the world, don't you? We can jump in here. A little super chat coming in part way through. Money going to the youth centers of Calgary. And, you know, it helps it.

It's a big one. 20 bucks from the working man. Hey, hey, the working man. Working man like me. I'm glad that Wilson made it. But Bennett getting snubbed, I think, was BS. So what? He's had a bad year.

He's never been a regular season Dynamo, but he's a big game player. Hell, he won the Consmite. Yeah. I agree with you working, man. Echo all of that. And you know what? I don't know that it has to be Wilson or Bennett.

If both of those guys were on this team, I'd be fine with that too. I mean, Hegel was fine. Sorrelia is there. as more of a shutdown guy, we know that, but it is. Sirelli doesn't jump off the, the page for me,

but I understand why he took him and it's Cooper's guy. I don't care. Whatever. And there's people saying, who do you take out to put Bennett in? And it's like, well,

Bennett won the Khan-Smith. Like, you got, I don't care that he's not there. I'm not going to lose sleep, but I'm not going to, yeah, this is not the hill I'm going to die on.

But if they wanted to take Bennett, I would have been very happy for some, Sam Bennett to be there. He's a consmate winner. He won last year. He contributed. He's a big game player. They took Tom Wilson. I don't think it has to be one or the other. Blah, blah, blah, go get him Tom Wilson. I might buy it a Tom Wilson jersey after this tournament. So I don't know that, I guess I'd be curious to hear the rationale, I suppose, because I don't imagine it's something that Bennett isn't doing or hasn't done. He's got 29 points in 39 games. Those are Sam Bennett numbers

at the, he's winning half of his draws. He's still 18. He's a center. He does all the stuff that you would expect. But you have the benefit of knowing how good he was at Four Nations and what he does when the games matter. So to kind of leave that on the side when he was already on the Four Nations team is curious, I guess. You can maybe, you know what? Maybe you can use the Celebrini thing and say that he was so good.

or that'd be the only thing. The goaltending is what it is. But you brought in, you brought in other guys too. Like I just wonder how they paint it. It is a very, that's the only interesting conversation I, or conversation.

Yeah. It's the only interesting take that I want to hear would like a reason for. Yeah. No care. Connecting was just okay. I thought at the four nations you bring in Horvat. Sure.

Okay. That's no problem with that. Celebrini deserves to be there. Jarvis is hurt. So it's, I guess, Wilson versus Bennett. That would be the only one I'd be curious. Yeah. And it's not even about Wilson.

Whoever you brought in. So it's Wilson, Horvatt, Celebrini, Suzuki, right? Those are the four new guys up front? Three. Wilson, Horvatt, Celebrini. Connecti Jarvis and Bennett are out. Yeah, but wasn't Suzuki there? Was Suzuki at Four Nations?

Yeah, he was a... Oh, I didn't even know. Okay. Debt guy. I didn't even know. Did he play? Anyway, so the three guys, it doesn't matter. The point I'm making is that you're taking Bennett out of that and you're bringing these guys in.

Sure. But it, I would, what did Bennett do to, like, what's Orvette done better than Bennett? What's Wilson done better than Bennett? And what's whoever else, like, it's. I don't care, but it is an interesting conversation. That's the same guys that are making the team. Same guys building the roster that built that one. Now, maybe they looked at it and they won,

but they won a tight game in overtime. Maybe there's some other things that they saw. Clearly, I would guess. I don't think they're that smart. I think they just picked a team. I like that. And I'm not being cheeky. I'm like, you and I could pick this team.

This is, okay. What do you think of? about McDavid, Dean? Strong and, you know, maybe a little defensively, but... Not physical, but... Good edge work, yeah. And I guess he scored that overtime winner that won this the tournament. Okay.

You know what? We'll put him down. We'll put them down there. Yeah. Yeah, it's... It's cheeky, but it's true. Like, there's any hockey fan in Canada could put together a team, and if you put Bouchard on it, you might not be wrong.

Yeah. I wouldn't. I'll say this. If the Americans want to take Bush, they could. I'd be fine with that. Let them. Dual citizenship. Yeah.

When Trump comes up and takes over, then we're all under one. Right. Yeah, we're all, ooh, that'll be tougher to make that roster. Then there's two teams for sure. Yeah,

there'll be two teams in for sure. The Americans, Billy Garron, they'll be bringing theirs out. Right now, it sounds like one of the big things there. Thought that Jason Robertson may not make the

may not make the squad. He's got a lot of points. A lot of points. He's a whole bunch. It's a good player. It's a good player, yeah. So what you're saying is that other countries also have the difficulty of... Yeah, some real depth.

Finding spots for everyone? Depth. Yeah, for sure. Let me go. That's that scoop. We knew that was going to be a big one people will be... You know, they'll be around the water cooler. Is that what you do?

You get around the water cooler. I don't know if there's water cooler. Everyone's got to a bottle. Yeah, it brings their bottle now. Yeah, maybe. I bet there's some long, some guy with a bunch of hair in his face that usually sits at the end of our table that would just be frothed and to be diving in this.

We wouldn't have to talk. We just open the flood. This deep, sportsy stuff, he would just be, he'd be just loving it. You'd have some hot taketudes. Yeah, that's right. That's right. We enjoy, you know, let's jump in here. Oh, come on. My shit's falling asleep.

It happens a lot. My feet. Four nations had NHL rules. They do not care about safety at all. Bennett is dirty. Olympic rules are different and won't tolerate that. Wilson smartened up over the years and is still a better score. I thought that the one thing about Tom Wilson was he was a a real concern because he goes across the line a lot.

Not according to Nathan. He's smarting up. I mean, he was on Montreal's bench in the playoffs. I'm not. Yeah, I don't know. I'm going to be fine with it. I'm sorry, guys. I would like to feign real deep interest and outrage over shit not good.

It's a very good team by the time you get to the fourth line and guys that aren't going would be skating, guys that are going to be extras, should they be there or not? I can't, uh, I've used it all up. All my 20, 25 fake give a shit. I'm all out.

I'm all, I'm all, I'm all, I'm all, I'm all, I'm all, yeah, sorry. But starting Friday, topped right back up again. Restocked. Yeah, I'll be just fine with it. Uh, game day for the flames. It's the Philadelphia Flyers in town. So,

Connection, it'd be just pissed. Right. ripped. Yeah. Or pumped. I didn't make, oh, honey, book that to vacation. Maybe, maybe. You know, these two teams, they've already played. You remember that game back in Philadelphia on November 2nd?

Oh, yeah, the brawl. Yeah, at the spectrum, yeah, it was crazy. 2-1, shocker, that a 2-1 hockey game involving the flames. Hubert O had both goals. Wolf got the win. After a loss in Nashville, I think. Could have been. And you were hung over.

Yeah, probably. As for the flames, they have won back to back. They've won four of five, eight and three in their last 11. And we've talked a lot here this last week or so about how good they've been at home. Four straight at home. Nine, one, and one in their last 11. They are feeling it. Wolf was one, six in a row at home.

It's been a lot of Wolf. Are we back in that? that spot. Boy, we're winning. Games got to keep winning. We got to do it. Remember at the start of the year, that Cooley guy who couldn't trust him,

couldn't play him. We got to run the, just run the wheels right off of this wolf guy. Cooley has started two of the last 11 with the fresh, fresh contract. Philly played in Vancouver last night.

Teams playing well in front of the goaltending. Yeah. I'd blame. But Huska will listen. I saw that. guy yesterday. He eyeballed me. Holy, from across the... Did he really? Did he give me some dirties? Yeah, I just, I'm

like, oh, I see how it is. Come on. That did not happen at all. You're full of it. He did the fake oh, I didn't see you there. Really? Yeah, the fake blinders. I'm so busy. I've got places to be.

I would acknowledge your presence, but I can't do it. I'm sure if he saw you, he'd come over. Retro. Hey. Hey. It's good look. good yesterday at the edge. Big overtime win. Nice. Yep. Does he just kind of mix? 11 seconds left and overtime.

Like McCann kid put one in. Good player. Nice. Pick him up. Come on. So is he able to just kind of fit into the crowd or does he have a bunch of pinders coming up and humping his leg? Ah, he loves the limelight, that guy. You know him. That husk. He just, I don't know. He's running your power play, but I think you should get rid of the umbrella.

I'm more of a triangle. Can you imagine? they probably Husk would love to hide in the corner and just don't Is this on barn barn cam or whatever? Can I just watch from the parking lot on the TV?

That's good though. Nice win for the edge of it before. So yeah for Walt, now they are coming off the Christmas break and they play the one. I don't know. I'm not concerned.

Again, my model out to give a shit. You're all out. Damn. If you had some, it would be great. Yeah. I'll try and muster some.

There again, if it's Cooley or Wolf tonight, I'm going to sleep soundly, regardless. Because you don't know why? Because it's New Year's Eve. And the flames, they don't fuck around on New Year's Eve. Never. This is the fourth straight New Year's Eve. They're at home.

They've won each of the last three. 22. Let me take you back. 22, McKenzie Wigger, we're still kind of unsure, gets his first goal as a flame beat Vancouver, three to two, parties on. One year later, 2023, game 500 for Blake Coleman. Flames beat the Flyers, four to three.

Whoop, whoop, those horns, let's go, party on. 2024, Zeri, Caudry, Huberto, all score, three one win over Vancouver. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-ta-celebrate-good-time. Since the 2000-2001 season, the flames are 14, 4, and 2 on New Year's Eve. That doesn't add up. Feel bad for the Flyers. Sorry.

Tough spot. Scheduled loss, I guess. I'm a Rick. Vancouver last night. Got to come in here and face these. Animals on New Year's Eve? Back to 500 in 2025. Before the end of 2025, the flames are 500.

Look out. Yes, they have their record of 17, 18, and 4. Just keep sliding on up. They haven't run out of Give a Shit in 2025. No, they haven't. This has gone up. Yep. It looked like in October that maybe they had,

they were at boomer levels in October. This is not good. Oh, make for a long year if our levels are here now. It's like, Jesus. It's like, am I watching that? Get that generator running. Are you watching that podcast?

What am I watching out here? This is terrible. Yeah, they've been good. I assume they'll be good tonight. It is. Anytime that there's something that, like a post-Christmas game is harder. It's like, who, like the Boston game.

It's like, oh, this is January 12th is a difficult game. Christmas Eve is not. New Year's Eve is not. There's the party element to it. And it does add excitement to the building, which in turn adds excitement to the fellows. And they usually perform quite well. I went to a New Year's game,

New Year's Day game once, Dean. I had lack of sleep. It was an afternoon affair. I had lack of sleep for some reason. couldn't sleep well, didn't sleep well the night before. And I ate the golden arches on the way to the game and had two points in a big victory. See? There's no tried and true recipe to success.

It's different for everybody. What did you have at the arches? What was the, uh, I was just doing cheeseburgers that day, Dean. I didn't want any sauce. I didn't want the magic sauce. I just, I loaded up.

I think I had three or four cheeseburgers and some fries. on the way down. Yeah. I'll tell you what. I could I would have to be extremely full. The situation would have to be very, very bad for me not to be able to just pack away one

McDonald's cheeseburger. There's something about the pickles and ketchup ratio, the bun, the burger. It's my most water. Do you see him thinking about it? Real good. Yeah, while I load it up, it's not highly recommended when you're playing in the NHL.

No. We were playing Toronto and I wasn't too worried about that Sundane guy. He was getting old. So for all the kids going to the max, don't necessarily pile up some burgers on the way? I can also remember a time where, again, this is going back to upbringing and having kids, how dumb they all are. I was playing junior in Saskatoon and too dumb to make my own. own food because I lived at home.

I was waiting for mom and dad, and they must have been out partying. Yeah. And I'm like, what am I spouse to eat? I play in it like, and they actually said, we'll meet you at the brink and we'll drop off because they had some Wendy's two for one baconator. And they dropped it off at the rink as I was walking into the game. I remember eating it in the skate sharpening room trying to hide from Warren Mulligan, like, He's not going to go over.

Yeah, hey, we all have our own path, our own keys to success. That's all in the eye of the beholder, I guess. The Flyers last night, getting back to this, they did, they beat Vancouver 6 to 3. So feel good night. This Carl Grunstrom has goals in Forestryte. It's been a good year for Trevor Ziegress. 39 points in 38 games, leads the team in goals with 50. Dean.

Guy could have had it fairly easily, I think. Guy that was on. Guy that was on. He was available, Dean. Like not waivers, but he was, you know, very readily available. He was on the outs, I think it is safe to say. He was going to be the face of the game for a while, too. I believe they were throwing him on the front of all the video games and all this.

Highly skilled, yeah. This guy is going to be. magician with the puck and they had no time for that in Anaheim well they got time for it in Philadelphia interesting the deals that were done there a high profile guys there was the Jamie Drysdale cutter goche deal because cutter didn't want to do with Philly for whatever reason so that swap gets done and then Zegras goes back the other way I was talking with my kid last night he couldn't get it straight because both teams wore orange it's like oh yeah orange both teams yeah oh yeah yeah Zegris is where is he oh okay what was it oh oh

Something to think about For Gary Bettman or for the league maybe There's too many too much orange Oh God They're actually having this conversation In our group chat Like they're actually Showing some concern over the

You and I are in the minority dude Honestly and like this here came up Jack we could show it You knew You knew that he was dying Link like he needs to come on. Like he has to.

No, don't send him one. He has to blather. He's in, he's in our show chat. If you're going to break back a bad Bennington, oh, well, it feels like what the his, you know what? He's doing a good job of maintaining his give a shit. He is.

Yeah. Now, I don't know if it is give a shit or look at me. I want to feel important meter. But either way, it's high. Yeah. It lends all to the same thing. You end up at the same spot, whether it's give a shit or ego or whatever it is. You do get there.

Hey, you know what? Maybe Friday we can have a special Ryan Pinder solo edition of the show where he can really, we won't get in the way. Yeah. We'll just stay off. Yeah. And he could really do a deep dive into the roster. open up the

let them run. Yeah, think of the hot takes you'll have by then, a couple nights to sleep on it. Oh, yeah, for sure.

I mean, that's about it for the Flyers. They are. It'll be a fun night down at the dome. They're a good team better than I thought they were going to be. Tocot's got them playing.

I like that guy as a coach. Didn't like having to fight him. But, uh, third in the Metro as they come into this game tonight, 2011 and 7. And everyone's in the same boat, Dean, everyone's in the same boat. They're all the people at the wrink, like, gee, D, am I supposed to cheer for these guys?

And they're playing hard or am I supposed to sell, yell, stop it. Bring a sign. No, don't do that. What are they going to do? Yeah, we're all, there was a lot of, well, Conroy is going to have to reach down and give them a tug and start moving guys. It's going to be tough, but we're all tied up. We're in knots. We don't know what to do or how to do it.

Don't know how to feel conflicted. I do feel that way. Because inevitably, I start watching games and you see that they do. More fun to cheer them to complain. Yeah, they do. I do like complain. It feels like we love to complain. But you watch them and they're,

guys are just, oh, shh. You know, they'll nearly score or whatever. Oh, damn it. Where'd you go, bud? Did you knock your camera? He'd probably knock his camera on. Oh, there he are. What did you do?

I yelled for a coffee, sir. Oh, I see. So it was. Give me one of those egg dog lattes, homemade. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, that's the game tonight. 7.30 start. Flames and Flyers.

Dan Vodars had a good year as a flyer. Picked up his 14th win of the season last night, and his 23rd start ties his career high for wins in a single season already. He does that before the new year. He is sixth in the NHM. and save percentage and fifth in goals against among goalies that have played 20 or more games. But he's been

he's been just fine for them. 2.40 goals against the 910 save percentage. What's he making out there? Dole-wise? If he's playing that, well, that's a pretty decent. It's been a great signing for them. Yeah, he's been. And good for him to go for it, right?

Like, I'm sure they'd have kept him here. Yeah, I don't know what the money would have been here. I know it wouldn't have been as good because you're accepting a backup goaltender job. Yeah, 3.35 on a two-year deal still is what he took there. Look, yeah, so that's not a huge raise over what he was making, right? He was kind of, no, but it's given the opportunity to go, I'm now in two years if he plays good. Yeah, because he was on his entry level with Boston. He comes here, signed a two-year extension at $2.2 million a season. And now is 3.3.35.

So it's, yeah, he bed on himself. Not like that chicken shit, Cooley. No. That's right. Yeah, that's right. Just kidding. I, it's not a sure. I said it yesterday.

It's funny how the goaltending thing is. Because Devin Cooley, it is still December. In October, could have taken or left this. It's, this guy was good. but then he got hurt and then he was shipped and now we just think he's shipped and in the preseason it wasn't very good i don't know they don't have a goalie who who's going on waivers we're talking about mackettison goalies that were put on waivers at the start of your flames might we were talking about connor ingram and maybe that's right and then 10 games later here's 1.35 million times too oh no i still don't know what he is i don't mind the signing i said it was a good signing actually

because I don't think that that money, what's wrong? Let's just take a break. We'll let them talk and, yeah. Why did you do this, Jack? Oh, boys, I just said, I needed to see your beautiful faces one more time before the end of the year. Is that what it is?

I'm good. I don't have to say anything. I just thought, you know, see what the boys are talking about. I know Boone doesn't care about anything. Like, he cares more about buttons than sports, but, you know, I didn't know if anyone was talking about stuff. We've been talking.

We've did not a fair bit of talking, but we've also discussed our lack of concern over anything. Yeah, our give a shit meter is extremely low. That's great. Yeah, that story checks out, right? That's correct. So you're in the mountains and you've heard the news and the flames are going to end up at 500 after tonight.

Are we concerned? Are we happy with team? 100. Go ahead. Let us have it, Pinder. I don't have any scorching flames takes. Before that went over Boston, there were three from the bottom and three from the playoffs. I don't know.

Still similar. That doesn't change with the winner not. Everything's so tight. What about Cooley? Are we happy with the Cooley? I mean, he's a guy that if he tanks horribly, you can bury 90% of that money in the miners. I don't see a downside. There's no risk.

if you want to out recruit them, go get it, whatever. Seems like low money, high upside, no risk, whatever. And then Team Canada, they're bringing back the band. They won the last tournament they played, so they brought most of those guys back. The only conversation that was interesting to me, maybe Baderd was like, maybe Baderd, but because he's hurt,

I don't think it'll... The better thing is a conversation. Again, I mean, the best of the best of the, big bully, R, givah, S is, if they win, nobody could complain anyway, and you're splitting hairs in my opinion. But it is an interesting move on Team Canada's part as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, like two point, they win, there's no conversation. If Tom Wilson takes a penalty in the third period and the Americans beat you, there's, what the hell? I would have taken this. But, you know, like, Dowdy's not Prime Dowdy anymore. Bennington's having an awful year. I don't know why they love

Travis Sanheim as much as they do. He's fine, but like, no one's like, oh, look at this star player, Philly's in town. Like, he's in Calgary tonight. How many people are like, we got to go watch Travis Sanheim. But this was the group that won the tournament a year ago. So, I get it. They're bringing back the band.

Yeah, but Bennett was part of that band. Yeah, so Wilson probably outplays him. Jarvis, I liked. I thought he'd be back, but celebrating is good, whatever. I mean, we're going to argue about the fringes of the roster. I would have loved to see Bidar there, but the injury probably didn't help, and these old GMs love their veterans.

They're afraid of young guys. Like, what more could Bernard have done? Like, oh, he wasn't first in Lake scoring. He was fourth or something like that. Like, what are we talking about? I was even going to say, okay, so he crossed off, and the criticism will be why he doesn't play both ends of the ice, and it's like, well, it's not what he's there for.

No, and that's not, like, a lot of those guys aren't there for that. That's why you're bringing the Wilson's and the Sorrellys and stones because they're great defenders, but they'll be a good team. Apparently the Americans are leaving off Jason Robertson, which is wild. Well, and it is wild because we talked, boom brought up the name. But that's what it gets to with these teams. I think this is like most of our listeners. They just sit back, they take it in. Yeah.

this is you know what it's funny because I'm in a bunch of these group chats and half the people are like yeah like go team with the Canada logo and the other half are screaming about why isn't this guy there or that guy there so whatever I do love

and because you're here and you're so good at it there is a lot of Bushard comments and they're all idiots because they don't know what they're talking about but can you are you upset that Mushbaum didn't make it. No, I'm not at all. I mean, he's a liability in his own end. If Cal McCar was hurt, okay, we can build the case that you need

someone that could run PowerPlay 1, but you don't. Like, that's, he is a one-dimensional. Not as well as Bouchard, but yeah, it wouldn't be as good. Can Josh Morrissey do it as well as Bouchard when you consider the forwards that are going to be on the ice handling the puck? He could run the power play probably as well, but I mean, Bouchard's got the better shot. And when he's not on with dry saddle McDavid, he still produces

a ton. But I'm not taking them. I'm not. And that's a hockey can't thing. P.K. Savannah got the same treatment. He hardly played. They don't want to trade a risk-reward defenseman. So they're going with their steady eddies. Now, if you'd run into okay, our top two offensive guys are hurt, I would listen.

But you're not there. That didn't happen. And I would love see Schaefer go, but he's young. Yeah, he's pretty young. Even as an eight, right? You're not going to play your eighth guy, I'm guessing. Is that not exactly what you want to take as an eighth guy, someone that's going to be at the Olympics in Salt Lake?

I love Drew Dowdy, and I don't, but Perrako, like I only like Dowdy because of his past, and I just think he's a good dude, because I think guys love playing him being on his team. I would love, I would love a situation where Schaefer was taken, and they had to play him. I would love a kid like that.

You'd be great at it. The storyline would be amazing where it's like, okay, you weren't playing and you're 18. We took it because you're 18 and we didn't think you were going to play, but we want you to have this experience. Holy F, get out there. I think he would crush it. I agree. I agree.

How's the mag, Dino? I thought that would be like some sort of luxurious Vixen's magazine, but it's food, hey? No, he's got the one inside there. That's right. No, dudes. I mean. It's a off brand.

Oh, wait. It's all in here. Everything that you need is in here. Yeah. Inside, look, the inside cover. What's the first thing you see? Oh, the jingle juice. Right?

Jingle juice. And I didn't even, I mean, I didn't even use it for that one. Then this one here, one of my favorite, you know what? That was here for, you were here for DIP Day, right? Look at this one here. Rotel DIP. There it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby.

Love it. It's in there. Real good. They're saying, I was just using cream cheese. They're saying, throw some velvita in there. All right. All right. Hey, I'm listening.

Now, I heard the seven-layer dip got snubbed. Are people outraged about that that it didn't make the magazine? Well, I don't know if it's in. I haven't got that far yet. Okay, well, get ready to be outraged. How was Christmas? Christmas is great. You know us.

It's a chaotic family. We got everyone together. And, yeah, no complaints. Lots of BCE. Any infighting? There's always a little, but I stay away from that. You know me. I don't like conflict.

No, you don't get combative at all. That's right. How are the mountains? Mountains are great. We stayed at Emerald Lake Lodge last two nights ago. An incredible experience. We snow shoot around the lake. We'll tell you more about it when I'm back next week.

But we're off to go skate now. The lake is kind of frozen over, but we got some arena ice so we can go play Ginny. Oh, I was going to say, because if it's just kind of frozen over, I don't recommend it. No, I'm going to watch. As soon as there's one fishing hut,

we're good to go, but there's no fishing huts yet. Put booms on the other side. He's like, oh, get out there, Ryan, test it.

It looks fine to me. Yeah, that's true. Don't tell the kids to shut up. You shut up. Let the kids talk. Hey, look at the door.

He's going to go there. Get on going on. Look it. He's trying to get his brother's fingers in the door, I can see. All right. I'm going to go. We might have lost a finger. See you, boys. Happy 2025. We'll see you in a bit. A Friday or? Oh, all right.

Hey, hey. I was thinking of something. Yeah. You know how our levels are low? Yeah. And you can fake and lie to people and say they're going to be good on Friday, but I know the truth. Look at me now. I know. I know what Friday's good. Don't talk. I'm sorry.

We just did a whole year's worth of work. Is there any way that maybe there's just a best of? Or is that more work than just doing the show? It's a lot. It's way more work. Oh, okay. Well, then let's just show.

Yeah. Like maybe we could just turn on cameras and read cooking magazines. I just thought maybe because I feel like the. the the GTS or whatever, give a poop meter will still be low on Friday, but if it's harder to do. Yeah, Friday feels like a great day to be off.

If you were to say, hey, we're going to be off till next Monday. It might even improve the rest of this show. Ryle might go up. Jack, what do you think? Do we have Drager Friday? Because Drager's always good. We don't need to have him Friday.

I think what date's getting at. is that if we had the day off, it would be good. Are you in the same opinion? And is there any way of making this happen? Or should we just call it make an executive? I think we take the day off. Well, you are the boss. Ryan was out at, he mentioned it there.

Emerald Lake. I, you remember, I, it's really what, maybe that's what we need. It kicked off your new attitude. That's what we need to do is we need to get Buffalo Mount Lodge. We get Emerald Lake Lodge. I mean, come on now. here's the deal.

Banff National Park in Lake Louise from January 16 to February 8, it's the magical snow days festival. Now I know that's a couple weeks down the road, but you've got a plan. You're not just going to probably pack your bags, be, oh, let's go this afternoon. So for the Buffalo Mountain Lodge,

if you use the rate access code, that's Emerald Lake, but this is for the Buffalo Mountain Lodge, use the rate code barn burner and enjoy 15% off your room. Do we still have that video? Jack, is it still kicking around? Because I think I can throw it.

When you were out there and put that beautiful ensemble together, oh, you're killing me. If you show that, then I'm not working on Friday. Oh, no, really? Is that what it's, is that what it's hind? I'll be barging into the Emerald Lake and just, I'm here. I heard this place to be. Well, I know that's what it was. I may have to do the Emerald Lake as well.

Just kind of get the vibe for what that's all about. but it's a wonderful spot. Of course, in Banff, January 17th and 18th, they've got the ski joring. Do you know this, remember the? Yes, I want a ski jor. I'm going to work on my skajoring. We will get you in there.

I can get you in there for sure. What? Yes. You've got that kind of pull. Sheldon Kennedy was big into the ski joring and his daughter, Ryan. I would kick his ass and skajoring. Yeah, it's like water skiing behind a horse on snow, if you will. It's quite a thing.

The horses pull skiers along Banff Avenue. You can round out your romantic getaway with a sleigh ride, a peaceful dog sled experience through the snowy mountain landscapes. I've done the dog sledding. It's wonderful. It's wonderful. The hot chocolate trail is open until February 8th. You can wander bears.

Yes. Twinkling lights. Explore the snow sculptures from January 22nd to February 8th. They've got the weekend of wonder coming up with the live ice ice. carving. I get at Christmas is the magic doesn't end on the 25th of December. It's really

just kind of ramping up. So once again, Buffalo Mountain Lodge, use the rate access code, Barnburner, and enjoy 15% off your room. And after check in, settle into Mountain Life and toast your arrival with a

beer in the lounge, maybe a cocktail, a little rum. Cozy season starts now. The website, CRMR. dot com. Sitting in the drive there, Jack. We're going to be sitting here. Don't need to be. I deleted it, boom.

What do you mean you delete it? I just put it in. Oh, you just put it in. Sorry, my bad. He figured it out yesterday. It wouldn't work. Yeah, I actually have the thing here.

I'll happily drag it out because you need to see it. Because you have in your mind, oh yeah, beautiful, snowy, this and that the mountains are beautiful, all this and that. And then you get out there, it's like, this, why come this doesn't happen more often? Why?

How, is it far? No, it's like an hour change. It's easy to get, like, what are we doing? So great. I'm with the boom. Let's go. I'm with you, buddy. Or we could just sit here.

Yeah, and continue to do that. I like Pinder. Was there any conflict? Ah, there's always a little conflict. Yeah, that seems to be the reports that come out. Um, not ideal. Well, there's a lot of stress, a lot of high anxiety people up there. Yeah, wound tight, wound tight.

Yeah, there is. And then they wouldn't be. And I mean, look at that. Like a little bit of clouds in the sky, but it doesn't. I mean, beautiful. You walk in there, you know what it smells like? It's kind of like that smell of cedar and spruce. It just smells the right way.

It just has that beautiful scent, nice and toasty warm. you take off your big thick parka and then you sit down on those comfy couches and chairs and you have a maybe you have a hot toddy. What kind of dog is that? He's, uh, I forget what he is. You know, I don't know.

But I was, I was talking to him. He's a good boy. He was a good boy. Okay, Jack. What are you doing? What is Jack? He's trying to find the dog. Oh.

Where do you go? Just just be patient. Oh, it's coming. Oh. He's a good boy. It was shortly thereafter. He's a good boy. He's got the eye patch.

What a boy. What a boy. Anyway, there you go. That's, you know what we're talking about. It's all within your reach. Access code barn burner gets you 15% off of your room at the Buffalo Mountain Launch. CRMR.com.

He is the website. All right. we can do the PIN to report. We've kind of talked a lot about the flames and we've talked a lot about all that but there are some other things going on. I know it's hard to believe. It's a busy old world out there, retro.

They don't stop. They don't stop. They just keep rolling. Kind of like a village Honda. It's the boxing week's spin and win event. From now until the end of this week, every spin is a winner. You could earn a CRV bonus up to $10,000 on all in-stock 2026 CRBs.

village Honda Village Honda.com I'm chuckling because again I don't usually have the comments on but people are really Yeah depth of thought It makes you feel bad to know

how deep some people care about it and how little we seem to or how little time we devote to it I'm sorry guys We should do more shows is what it comes down to Yeah we should get some other people

to To do the give a shit shows Yeah, because we're good at the other ones. Maybe we could, maybe something we could do in the new year have like a, a give a shit segment where it's like, okay, so for, we're going to, we're starting now. We're going to, we're going to play a thing. It's like we're going to, we give a shit.

Start it like here, boom, and have like, maybe have like a clock, a timer. Yeah. For the next 120 seconds. We're, we're going to. It'd be good. Now, in fairness, and Jack knows this. There's nobody better at making you. give a shit than Pinder.

Because he'll draw you in. And all of a sudden, you'll, you'll kind of start sitting up in your chair and you, but you know what? And he'll get you kind of wound up. It's kind of like the comments. I don't like stupid. And there's a lot of stupid in the comments. And then I sit beside a guy and I'm like,

you're just talking out your ass now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's best you don't see the chat on the regular basis. I just shut it off. Yeah. This is probably good.

Flames Nation. The writers are writing. What's going on at Flames Nation? There's all kinds of things going on. Flames are still basking in their big win over the Boston Bruins. They are getting ready. They're not basking, Dean. They're refocused and ready.

They don't, there's no feeder put up. These guys are dialed in. They've shifted. They've shifted their focus. They're ready. William Stromgrin had four points last night for the Calgary Ranglers. World Juniors, the preliminary round wraps up. Cole Reschney has been just fine.

Thank you very much. You can read them all about it at flamesnation.ca. That's where you can get that info. So yes, Flames game day. Get your helmet on the Philadelphia Flyers. Yon Kuznetsoff and the boys are going to be ready. Like you said, they're not, their feet aren't up. No, they're pumped.

No feet up. Yep. They're ready to roll. Flames won four in a row at home. Nine one and one in the last 11 at the dome. They've won back to back. They're feeling good. This is the best, they've been playing some of their best hockey in the month of December.

They'll be sad to see it end. What's coming up? Well, it's Philadelphia. A couple days off. Then it's the Nashvilleans coming in on Saturday for a 5 p.m. start. And then jump ahead to next week. It's Seattle. That will wrap up the five-game homestown that started with the Edmonton Oilers just after Christmas.

Not too shabby. Not too shabby. Flyers last night, that's the opponent this evening. They were in Vancouver, picked up a victory by a score of six to three. I'm waiting for the flyers. There you go. They have six players with at least 10 goals, which is tied with Montreal for the most in the national hockey league. They've got some incredible depth, Harry.

Great depth. Some incredible scoring depth. Would you like to, you want me to kind of run through it? Yeah, because I don't know any of the names on that team. I'm sure you'll be going to the game tonight and you'll Trevor Seegers has got 15 of those goals Travis Kineckney and Owen Tippett they each have 10

or they both have 12 and then Noah Cates Bobby Brink and Tyson Forster who's on the IR but those three gentlemen all have 10 goals and Christian Devorak and Matt Bay Mishkoff just knocking at the door they've got nine so hopefully they stay at nine tonight there's a look at the line on.

Devorak and Zegras have had a little chemistry. They scored a beauty last night. Zagris behind the net doing a little I'm going to spin this way. And then I'm cutting back and a little sneaky little no looker into the slot to Dvorak. It was probably, you know what? It was probably would have been a good whiteboard because the defensive coverage on it wasn't great. Whoops. Nonetheless. Nonetheless.

So that was one of the games last night. Jake DeBrusk was a healthy scratch. earlier in the week against Seattle, he got back in last night. He's got to wake guys up. Adam Foote saying, hey. You shouldn't have to wake Jake DeBresco. He should be veteran enough and good enough

and getting paid enough that you shouldn't have to wake him up. That's a concern. The Toronto Maple Leafs. Let me just see here. Here. Did I put stuff? I got in the for old Jack, so I kind of know what's in the dry.

Did I put stuff in there? Yeah, I showed that. The folder things are real pain in it. It's really not. It's just, I don't want to call for stuff unless it's not in there, you know. At Toronto, beat the New Jersey Devils by a score four to nothing. Joseph Wall, 33 saves. No Austin Matthews, he's day to day.

Faker. No, no Nylander. He's day to day. Faker. No Chris Tanev. He's day to day. Ow. He's hurt.

That's right. And because it's the Leafs and the rumor mill, you know what it does? It chugs. The rumor mill chugs away. Coffee? No, I had to sneeze. There's where there's the rumor mill suggests that maybe Peter DeBoer has been contact. He's maybe waiting in the wings to take over when they fire chief.

And Pete DeBoer was on with our buddy Rosie and Nick on on Leaf's morning take yesterday. and DeBoer said, you know, I actually reached out. I sent a message to Craig Barubi to tell him this is BS, his quote from the show. I just felt that having been on the other side of that, if I could at least get him another half hour of sleep by not worrying about Pete DeBore, then I was happy to do that. So you just send him a text, like, listen, I know what, it's bullshit. Like there's nothing to it. Just turn things around, good luck, get some wins. I kind of like that.

That's better than B saying, yeah. Unless I didn't like the guy, then I'd be very happy. That's right. Maybe I am lurking in the weeds. Ready to just scoop up your gig. DeBore is like, I'd like to coach again. I'm not sure I want that leaf steam. I wonder what else the text said.

By the way, good luck with that. I don't want to step into this at all, so you just carry on and have fun. If I had any idea how to help you, I would give you some advice, but I think you might be fine. Montreal last night, Panthers and the Montreal Canadians, they took to the ice for a big matchup. It was a big, 0.1,000.

They had a ceremony before the game for Brad Marchand, has kids out there, his family, they were celebrating, and then he, he decided, I'm still Brad Marchand. I mean, that's all nice and well and good. Took a bit of a run here. It's already been announced this morning. No hearing, no extra discipline or anything.

But he's going to be the second guy coming in here. That's Mike Matheson and kind of leads with the elbow to the ear hole there a little bit, Red. Can you walk? Start it again. Now that you've seen it once. But if the guy's going on on his knee. I mean, he caught him. And the thing is, you know that he knows what he's doing.

That's just it. I can argue that Marshand will say, well, what are going into hit? He's falling down. What am I going to do? What am I going to do? If you want, and it's fun to go do, go watch Messy. There's a YouTube video of Messier giving elbows. Unbelievable. It's tremendous. Yeah.

In a very, in a not nice way for sure. Now, here's the thing, the Fort of Panthers, they had a 2-0 lead with less than five to play. Stanley Cup champs, they're at home. They're going to tuck that thing in, right? Watch this play here by Cole Cawfield. I got the puck. I'm going to do Zoop and that thing and score. Oh, wait.

Well, that's okay. He was shooting at about four times. Look at this. Shot. Shot. No, wait. Oh. So that makes it two to one.

Decent player. I think he'll make Team America. There's a shot by Suzuki. Somebody had him for at least a point last night on his parlay that cashed. Thank you. So Suzuki ties it. They go to overtime. A little four on three power play.

Watch Suzuki backdoor. Backdoor. Oh, dear. So the habs get two in the final five and then win it in extra time. Nice little win for them there. I like the habs team. I want them to do well. Caulfield goal and an assist.

Hudson and Dobson, two helpers points in six straight for Montreal. Marchand nine game point streak if you need it to lead that team and score. He's got 14 points in those nine games. and the habs. That comeback last night. That's special stuff. There you see. At first time in over a decade that they overcame a multi-gold deficit in the final five to win.

2014's last time they did that. That doesn't even seem that far ago. Two goals in the last five is. Yeah. Can be done. Can be done. Big win. It must have been an emotional night as the Pittsburgh Penguins got a 27 save performance out of Stuart's

Skinner, his first win in four tries in the Penguins net as Pittsburgh takes it, 5-1 over Carolina. Wouldn't have done have picked that. Yeah. A pair of goals for Anthony Matha, who's quietly been okay for Pittsburgh. Crosby gets goal number 21. Bo Horvatt, we were just talking about him. Well, he got a goal in regulation and then another in the shootout. Islanders win three, two, over Chicago.

Islanders have won three of four. The Hawks still waiting for Bardard to come back. they've lost a pair, straight, and eight of their last nine. Matthew Schaefer, I think you guys were talking about. I went and got some nog. Matthew Schaefer assisting on the Horvett goal, youngest D-Man in NHL history to reach 25 points. And I'm sure in that small print tells you just how,

like how old he is, like 18 years and something like that. But there it is. Most points through your first 40 career games as a teenage defenseman. It's decent names. Bobby Orr. Ray Bork, Phil Halley, Larry Merr? Now, Babbage, I don't think, is a Hall of Fame. That stands out. Babbage stands out to me.

Yeah. He's a great jet. And then they traded, Jets traded him for Ray Newfeld with Hartford. And that was a shit deal. It was a shit deal. Jets had a good run of making shit deal back in those days. Nonetheless, we told you about Philadelphia and Vancouver. That's how that one went.

Tonight on the Slug. Rangers of Capitals, the Caps, they've lost four of five and seven of nine. The Rangers, they're not playing all that well either, just one win in their last four. Vegas has lost five of six. They are home to Nashville. Predators, not bad. A couple afternoon games then. Yes, they've won four of their last five.

The Ducks, one win in their last six, need to turn things around against the Tampa Bays. The Minnesota Wild. 9-1-1 in their last 11. Matt Boldie is having a tremendous year. Their goaltenders are strong. Sharks will have their hands full. Celebrini, an eight-game point streak. He has six goals and 11 assists for 17 points in those eight games.

And this is, there's going to be, you just feel like there's going to be a lot of these because he's young and very good. second fastest teenager in NHL history to record 10 three-point performances in a single season behind only Wayne Gretzky there's a lot of odd written stats there that looks extremely impressive and awesome it's like okay most and fastest 10 and 3 he's good he's very good he has 10 3 points he has 10 3 points in like it's yeah he has not played a lot of games this year to get 10 like it's very good and that's the question i see some so okay he's good like obviously he's good he's very good how good is he

if he's this at 19 when he's 22 23 what are we watching is this another another next level generational type of be fun to watch. Hard to stay up though, Dean. That's the problem. I'm happy he's in San Jose, I guess. I don't know that I kind of wanted them to have him at the time. But it's nice that he's on a team, unlike the guy up north, where you can't cheer for him or feel good about his success.

I'm happy for him. Go ahead, San Jose. You're kind of indifferent towards you, at least at this point in my life. Maybe down the road that'll change. But for now, I'm very happy to see. see Maclin celebrating duo. Jets at Red Wings. Jets have lost 6th Street.

This looks like they're throwing in the towel. Those old jets. We'll look at the standings coming up. Oh boy. Like it's every day, it's getting really a lot worse. The jackets blew with the devils, jackets of one three in a row. Devils, four straight defeats,

including a shutout against Toronto. night. Stars and Sabers. All right. I mean, it's a big day. It is. It's a big day, Rhett. Nine. Dave won nine in a row. Going for 10.

They could tie a team record for most consecutive wins. Now, it will be tricky because Dallas is a very good team. But that's what you want. You don't want gimmies. If you're going to tie a team record, you want to do it against some of the best out there, the best in the business. Enjoy the challenge, Dean.

Go get it done, Sabers. Either way, thank God they've turned it around yeah I guess the avalanche and blues abs 11 game point streak they are does anyone have any hope that the blues could win this game no no I didn't even look at

bet 365 I look like what would it they'd have to win by 10 so decent ads there all right just not 14 straight home wins they've yet to lose in regulation they're 16 0 and 2 at the whatever that ring is called now.

Still Pepsi Center? Bruins Oilers. Bruins have lost six in the row. Their latest, the setback in Calgary a couple nights ago. I don't like the Bruins' chances in Edmonton tonight. No, I don't. I don't either. The other guy that we talked about that we can't be happy for, but excited that he, you know, does well. McDavid, 33 points in a 13-game point streak.

That is that. we can look at the standings, kind of talk to you about, whichever you want to throw up there, Jack. We'll comment accordingly. So there is the East. Detroit, tops in the Atlantic,

feeling good, Montreal having a little bit of a surge. They're back. The Islanders. Look at the games over 500. That's the, that's a lot. Yeah.

There's a lot of teams in the East that are doing very well. And there's some in the West that are doing well. But we talked about it yesterday. When you look at the boss, of the overall league standings. It's the, it's all West conference teams.

So there, there it is. That is the, the basement and the Winnipeg Jets. Now they've got, they've played two fewer games. So I believe in points percentage. They're not dead last, but in terms of

points, they sit 30 second overall. Are they at home tonight? They are at Detroit. Probably, I don't know. Like, if you're a jet and you go to the rink for the morning skate today, Dean,

and you look at the standings, that's depressing. I can tell you, I've kind of been there. It's like, ooh, there's a long way to go. Long way to go. Well, we got a long way to go. Last place. Do we need to send our. McKenna T-shirts out to Winnipeg?

Is that how that works? I'll send over the sound bite of the, yeah, do that. So that's that story. The Winter Classic is coming up. The Florida Panthers host the New York Rangers at Lone Depot Park, home of the Marlins. It's a retractable roof stadium, and they plan on having the roof open.

and it's in Miami so there's going to be a palm trees and they're kind of doing like a Miami Vice kind of feel with the teal and different things it'll be it'll be a lot of fun again I'm taking the piss out of it it's for the people in that city I think everybody is forgiven if they don't get super excited for these games anymore it's when is that tomorrow

yeah it's tomorrow Friday so plus 20. Yeah. They did say they're planning that there will be snowfall in the building. No. Yeah.

Wow. That'll be kind of a wink, wink sort of a thing. It's like, well, it hasn't it hasn't snowed since like the 70s or something. It's not calling for snow? No, not in the, no, they're not.

But now do you think they'll do fake snow, like snow falling? Or do you think they'll have a mascot called. Ooh, see it? There again, with my give a shit being so low, I didn't spend a lot of time.

Look, I just said, oh, they're going to be dumping stuff from the roof. Maybe there's another layer. Thank God you're here. Thank God you're here for those. Because I just turned my brain off after I read it, and I didn't think any more about it. And to turn your brain off would suggest that it was ever on. World Juniors, a pair of games from the World Juniors,

the Swiss blanked German. 4-0-0, Latvia doubled up Denmark 6 to 3. So the Germans and the Danes, they get that relegation. That kind of... It's tough. Switzerland and Latvia both advanced

to the quarters. The preliminary round concludes today. Slovakia is playing the Swiss. Latvia will take on Czechia. The Americans have got the Swedes and Canada will wrap things up tonight against Finland. Kick their ass. Yeah, darn screw you, Kipper.

That's right. You want it to Circle K-Sk, Gores? in the semi-quarter finals. Third period. Maryland, down two to NAX. All right. I don't know who the blues are. I think they're from St. Louis.

They are at 2-2 with St. Albert. C-I-H-A's tied with Rink Colonna in the second. 2-2. Edge? Huska's kid. And Regina, zero-zero, halfway through the game. Great.

I'm going out tonight to watch the semifinals. You want to go? You drive. One last note. You referenced this from time to time, one of your former teammates, and an amazing accomplishment. And I guess in a way,

it happened on this date. Dominic Hachick had a tremendous month of December, going back to 1997. 28 years ago on this date, he was in net as the Sabres won 3-0 over Ottawa. It was his sixth shutout of the month. First goalie since old Georgie Hainsworth back in the late 20s to post six goose eggs in a single month.

Not too bad. And I feel like with the dedication to defense in today's game, it can be a long time before we see that ever happened. Yeah, I agree with you. Six shutouts in a month. it's how good you guys were. I'm glad it got confirmed because sometimes I just make up shit and say it like Tinder.

And if you say it loud enough. Oh, yeah. And forcefully enough, it's like, well, geez, okay. Great-handed defenseman. Yeah. Well, that must be right. Is he right now? Sure.

We do need to keep some of that video sometimes. Like, I know it's on the YouTube. It is great. There you go. I saw that this morning. So yeah, there it is. Six in a month, decent for your former teammate, Dominic Cash. That's going to do it for the Pinder Report today.

That'll do it for Village Honda. Have you seen the new Honda Prelude? It is back. Arriving soon at Village Honda, be one of the first to get behind the wheel of the legendary sports coupe has been reimagined as a hybrid. Performance, smooth ride efficiency. The first ever electrified prelude is powered by the ultra-smooth responsive

all wearing their flames jerseys, cheering hard, go flames, go. I'm sure that's what they were saying. My kid's going again. He went the other night. He must be wealthy, rich. I guess.

That's what the rich people do. Yeah. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. It's a fun night. It's a good energy. It's a great night. Yeah. it's a fun one

they got the the after party over tuttons they're going to champagne they're going to have the party favors all that sort of

stuff good on the flames so I don't know if they should call it party favors because I think that in the underworld that's slang

for other things is it I think so oh not that I would know no a favor do some favors

I don't want to sleep on bontan meats I know we talked a lot about them before Christmas maybe you haven't even thought about it. Maybe tonight is a night. We just kind of stay in and.

Damn right. It is. Have a nice big prime rib roast or something. Maybe if you don't have plants, maybe we'll invite somebody over us. Swing by Bon Ton. Briscuit. Grab some cheesecake, some potato salad.

Grab a nice big, big thing of meat and throw it in there. Bontan meats. Good old Greg. Hey, you know it's good when that's your Christmas present to people. That's right. When you are gifting, yeah, when you're getting the gift of meat. Yep. Bontanmeatmarket.com.

Proud to be Calgary in Southern Alberta's Consumer's Choice Award winner for Best Meat in Delhi for 24 consecutive years. Bontan Meat Market, 28 Crowfoot Circle in the Northwest. Felt good for Greg. He's, because it's crazy there at Christmas. They are lined up. It's just, it's madness. And then by Christmas Eve at about 8, 9 p.m., he can finally just turn the lights out. I mean, the store stays open, but he gets to kind of, I think the old boy shut things down for a few days.

I feel like he's the guy that gets the midnight text. Oh my God, Greg, I forgot. And he's. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Yeah, we'll do that. We'll get that taken care for you.

It's a hell of an idea, actually. 28 crowfoot circle in the northwest. Oh, someone's going with smoked ribs and smoked deviled eggs tonight. Drops them off. My goodness. Let's go to Super Chats because that looks. Smoke ribs. Smoke devil dags.

Bulls. I was just going to say, you're up yesterday and I've got Americans up here and they are pumped for the bulls. They're like, get the effing TV on. Let's go. I think it was last year watching, it might have been the road. It was Cam Scadaboo, who then obviously was for the Giants tearing things up. He was playing with Arizona and had an unbelievable bowl game last year. I remember sitting down on New Year's Day. Some of those bowl games are the best football games you'll ever watch. So yesterday, with just a little team Canada karma,

well, let's get a point for for some of the Canadian boys who were going to be on the, it did come through. We had the, all three of them got their points last night. Picked somebody from every game tonight, get at least a couple shots on goal. A couple shots, two or more. Jacob Chikrin, he got, oddly gets a ton of shots.

Pavl Dorofia, big shooter for the Vegas Golden Knights. Matt Bowley's on a roll, cutter Goce, he shoots the puck. Jason Roberts and he'll be south. Oh, we don't know if he's not on the team yet. He's not on Team Canada, being that he's American. Cahle McCar, he gets shots. They're taking on the St. Louis Blis. And then you just keep on rolling because there's 10, 11 games.

There's 10 games. Nazum Cadry, getting some shots. Connor McDavid, Nico Heeshire, Kyle Connor. All those boys, 10-leg parlay, plus 484. Just have some fun with it. That's the kind of stuff you can do in the app. You get looking around. Yeah, just what's the harm?

But you are viewers and listeners and fans have raised thousands of dollars. since we started doing this for the youth centers of Calgary and we are appreciative. Cheeks McGee, Gigachad, Rhett, and Big Boom,

living their best life. Love it. What's your guy's favorite steak and alcoholic drink combo, if any? It's got to be, again, it's got to be brown liquor. So I do like a good IPA. If I'm at home and make a grill my own steak, that's what I'd go with, an IPA.

So I have to say my favorite steak is a ribby. Yeah. It probably comes off as a little dainty or whatever. I'm a water drinker when I, because some people have red wine and it just, I just find I just want to taste the food. I'll have it after dinner drink. But when I,

I just want some water or whatever. I guess I would have a rum or whatever, but I'd. I'm with you. I would prefer not to drink while I'm eating, my meal and consume afterwards. Yeah, that's kind of how I fall in. I am sure there are the taste things or well, it's going to accent and all that. I just haven't, I don't have that in my repertoire at this point. So, but yeah, it's, it's hard for me, Cheeks to get away from

the rum right now. I want a rum roll. And ribby, fillet, New York, what do you? It's Rabbi. I'm with you. I don't mind the you goes maybe the pepper corn New York steaks, the New York strip or whatever. It's getting hard when, because you said last week, whatever, when you're in Alberta, if you go to the, you're going to have a hard time

with a piece of meat coming out on the plate and you're going to be disappointed with it. It's done right. It's just, it's not hard to do with that right. Just don't overcook it. Love a good. Delicious. the bro 16 699 fellas I got a barn burner hoodie and mission

t-shirt for Christmas absolutely love them but is the shirt a lie now I'll be rocking the hoodie all year well appreciate you bro um it's not a lie it's not a lie and this was our mission it's our mission it's our mission it's your decision I guess

if you want to abort the mission I don't. I want to complete the mission. I would love to complete the mission. The kid is so good. I'm not sure how likely it is that we'll complete this mission, the more this team wins.

But you just never know. Maybe if look at the Islanders last year. They weren't at the bottom. They won the draft lottery. Boom, Matthew Schaefer. Matthew Schaefer 20. Look at this. What a best teenage defense.

It can happen. But I've been told it's kind of fantasy hockey to think that way. Yeah, you've got to. to be careful. Yeah, got to be careful. Appreciate the text, though. Thanks for buying the merch. That's one of my resolutions is, I mean, even we just have to take over. I just, the merch things. Milk, Milk, Tobo. Happy New Year, buddies. Remind me, why didn't we keep Manta? He got hurt. Well, they have so many, we've talked about, they got so many wingers. They got so many

forwards. They signed them to trade them and get a return on them. That was the whole approach to things. We're going to bring this guy in. We've got the cap space. Let's have them good year. We're going to move them to get some picks. And then he got hurt. We didn't get to move them. And we've got too many forwards. Yeah. It's a lot of forwards. And I mean, they had, they got cap money, but there was really no no point in it. It was a roll of the dice a year ago. Didn't work. Move on. I think that's wrong. Didn't dislike them. Don't, but yeah, you're not going to the flame success this season was not going to be based on bringing mantha back yeah and he's been he's been good for them now he's up to 27 points and

38 games 14 goals hey that's what you we're hoping you were getting here we might get a second rounder for this guy if things go well or whatever whatever it is maybe that's Pittsburgh it's just a gamble it's always a gamble buddy it's always a gamble Tom the trucker Falas! Received my new Barn burner hat, two hoodies

and Misham McKinna T-shirt in time for Christmas. Still no A.B. Swag nor Rett's recipes cookbook yet. We'll work on the swag, the afterburner stuff. And I'm not sure about the cookbook.

There's a lot of people who really talk about the cooking and all this sort of thing. The problem with the cookbook is, do you use a cookbook anymore? I don't ever use a cookbook. cookbook. I love cookbooks. I've got a whole

cupboard full of cookbooks. They're wonderful cookbooks. I don't drag them out. Yeah. I mean, we could put stuff on paper, I suppose. But yeah, I just kind of either I wing it or I'll then go to Google so what would be? I've got it in my pocket

so it's easier just to but see what he did with the R.H with the R.H. With the R.H. and the R.H. in the recipes. It's clever. And maybe there's charity angle or something. I don't never say never. That's me.

Positive. Positive. Tom the Trucker. Speaking of Afterburner's swag. I want to see a T-shirt of Cammy throwing Mike Gould. I'd pre-order right effing now. That might be more up our alley is to do like a barn burner.

Now hear me out. So there's the barn burner calendar. Yeah. Photos. Kind of like the firefighters calendar. Okay. Photos. because he was just barn burners like firefighter kind of play that angle okay you don't want us but that's where it ends it's just the burning fire with fire truck because no one is

buying a calendar if you and I have our shirts off I think if you put on your I remember back in the day you were going to do a long bike ride and you've got a you got an outfit for it and because we're supporters of the marteloup area and there's so much damn biking availability I think you should throw that on and maybe we could snap a couple picks. Okay, well, I'll think about it. When we could have Cammy throwing Gould, I ran into Cammy K at the rinkwatching. Yeah. But maybe we could take a picture of Gould going through a table or something.

Yeah, I think that started on an afterburner where they were going to play, like play some beer league against each other because she was going to, it's like, if they, If they drop the mitts, we know who's winning. And even I think, I think even Mike's mom chimed in. It was like, yeah, Mike, don't do that. It's a bad idea. See, and I think that the only way Mike would win is because I think he would get cutthroat. I think if it was head to head, absolutely, he gets slaughtered. I think he's a cheap shot artist.

Do you really? Yes. Oh, yeah. He would mash. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard to tell. There would be a stabbing in the back before.

Yeah. The main event. he strikes me as just such a sweet boy. I don't know he has that. He's a cold heart killer. He's a cold heart. Snake. Yeah.

He's a mean snake that one. Yeah. Now you could be right. You could be right. Yeah. Maybe best just to stay away. Tom back in. Wishing the fellas and the ladies.

Cammy, Yasmin, and all the parties. A happy New Year. Yes, even Pinder. You know, not enough credit given to Yasman,

in my opinion. She was at the Christmas thing. Oh, yeah. Didn't even notice her sitting back there working her ass off. Yes. As she's leaving, I'm like, oh, the nicest of people. The nicest of people. Yeah, she does a lot of

the stuff for us behind the scenes, does the after burner production. Jack does the kind of the stuff through the week. But yeah, and you know what? Maybe even Jack deserves a little, do you think, or does he get enough? Well, he could get credit,

but he acts like a D when he goes out and he does things. Yeah. You know what? It was an eye opener to me. I just wonder how many articles of clothing that I've been missing are at Jack's

place. How many jackets? Empty closet. Yeah. Because he kind of messed up. We went out for dinner the one night and he was wearing one of my jackets. It's like, is that my coat?

Nope. No. Because I've been missing a coat that looks exactly like that. Maybe it's, yeah, maybe it is your coat. Yeah, maybe it is. He didn't think you'd call him on it. Yeah.

He was like, no, it's mine. I had no idea who's Jack. Oh, yeah. I think of all the headphones and things that have just kind of gone missing. I've been blaming my kids. Maybe. Clecto. Clepto Jack.

Yeah. It's not your fault. It's not your fault, I guess, Jack. Whatever you got to do to survive. If it means you've got to steal shit. There's Ken, 20 bucks. Nice. Just wanted to take the time to say,

Happy New Year's to you guys. I don't know. what we do without you miserable old farts. Can't wait for 2026 and everything you have planned for us. Oilers suck always. At a boy, Ken. Ken's a regular in the chat. He's a regular with the show. Appreciate you. Appreciate the

20 box. It's very nice, very generous. We'll get that to the DeSanters Academy. We have very good, loyal people. We're very blessed. Yeah, I heard about some out in Drumheller. Some billets out in Drumheller. Right? The show every day. I'm like, yeah. No, it's oddly over the last

again this is not tire pumping or anything but there's a few people and I get it because I listen to podcasts or there's certain things that you have that you if oh there's not a new one oh there's no new episode maybe it's your favorite show it's like oh man now we've got to wait for the next season to come out if it's something that you

that's a part of your everyday and part of your routine and you enjoy it we appreciate to be part of it it's dumb but it's is kind of what we do. And, you know, Pinder, yep. Well said. And all the best in 2026. That's right.

Yeah. That was heartfelt, right? I was well, yeah. Well, I thought it was great. We didn't really give Jack a compliment. Yeah, called him a thief, more or less. Yeah, called him a thief. I ran out of words when we started to talk about Pinder.

I'm not going to make it up. But that's usually, you know, that's where he steps in. usually he, the words, that's where he jumps in. He takes care of that for us. Is that it for Super Chats, Jack? That is all, fellas.

All right. Very nice. Very nice. Jack, appreciate you, buddy. Be good. I do look forward to hearing

what you end up doing tonight. Yeah, I can't wait for you to be sick next week. Jackie Bear, it's going to be awesome. Yeah. And I guess

TVD on a show Friday. There'll be something on here. There'll be something here. here, yeah. Yeah, it'll be something. Is Ryan back Friday or not till next week? I have no clue. He didn't really say there, did he? Yeah, no, he didn't. No. Well, we'll figure it out. If we're here, we're here, if we're not, yeah, we'll figure that out. But we do appreciate you. It's been a great 2025. We do have some things planned for 2026. And yeah, onwards and upwards and bigger and better and happy and everybody's doing great.

Kind of blessed, eh, bud? Sure are, Dean. Kind of blessed. We bitch a lot for a couple of guys that's got things going pretty well, but, you know, here we are. Yeah, well, we don't want to come across. Oh, I can't take too much positivity. You get too much of that in your life.

It starts feeling fake. That's the thing. This is genuine sourpuss. This is not a show. This is not a facade. genuine. That's what you get right here. And great takes. Hot. Great hot taketude. Every Monday to Friday, except maybe not this Friday. I'm going to press the button. Jack, how was the show today before, yeah? I think we went out with a bang. 2025, we crushed it.

Sounds like no. God. See you, buddies.
