Oh, hi, buddies. How are we doing? Welcome to a very rare live and in person episode of the podcast. Even more rare in summer, in August even. Yes, August day. Not really. Not for long. Summer already this week basically just kind of stuck up at the middle fingers and said, I'm out. Did you feel that wind yesterday? That was an autumn wind. Well, that was a fall breeze. I thought it was fall breeze two days ago. Yesterday, torrential downpour. Right, that's what it was. Yes.

Yeah, that was the Vancouver winter day yesterday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good times, though. Pleasant, yeah. Was it? Got a lot done. Yeah. Is that right? Oh, yeah.

Well, you were teasing us. You had your own project. Perfect on a rainy day. Yeah, soup day. And it was, I actually had it in the works ahead of time. So meant to be. Maybe it was my fault that rained. I wouldn't.

Maybe it's my bad. If that's what you need to do to manifest the soup day, I'm okay. With that. So good. What kind of soup? A chicken, chicken noodle. So you just had an old carcass to start?

You got to watch a news? No, you know what? Here's the thing. And, uh, because the reviews were, uh, five stars. Yeah.

Would come back? Everyone's very happy with it. Yeah. And I said it was different because ordinarily I'll use some chicken bones or turkey carcass or whatever. I actually just put some thighs and legs in there. So you had the, uh,

that's my actual meat in there. Yeah, the chef was a little, uh, grumpy and the service was moderate, but the soup was delicious. Five stars. delicious.

I'd line off of them. So yeah, did some, did some soup. It's hard to get back into the thought of kids in school, back to the grind, making lunches, getting them out the door. It's not ideal. It's not great. Far from ideal. Yeah, it was this morning, young man.

You started this morning. We were yesterday. Lots of kids. Was an orientation or a real day yesterday? Real day. Wow. Yeah, real day. And yesterday, so excited.

First day of school, I want to take the best. us both ways. I don't want to ride. It's great. Today? I don't want to go. That's like you. You come back from vacation. You're recharged. You can shut out of a cannon. And then on the Tuesday after your week long vacation, I don't feel great. What am I doing for life? I hate this jump. Kind of stuffy. Maybe got a tick. Collide. I just want to go back to bed. Yeah, I know. So it's hard. Hard for all of us, but we're going to get back into it. I guess there are people that frequent the show are going to see more of us. Sorry about that.

Yeah. More of us. Lots of good stuff, though, that we've turned out while we've been pretending to work. If you say so yourself. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think you guys have done some great work. Lots of great stuff.

Oh, let me tell you how great our stuff was. Well, the stuff you guys did, I enjoyed. The, yeah, the, you know, we'll fill you in as you need to as. It's a lot going on, right? I mean, in terms of the meat and potatoes of the show, it's a hockey show. And we're not in hockey season. Well, I went look at this morning. LeRont Brousa had some kind of surgery.

That's the best goaltender they've drafted in terms of Amishel success since probably Trevor Kidd. That's horrifying statement. So he's having some surgery of some sort. Yeah. I don't think it's cosmetic. I think it was like a knee or something. Shoulder?

Lipo. It's not. Yeah. Get implants? What's going on here? Getting a tuck. What do they call it? Elective surgery?

It wasn't an elective? Like he didn't just choose to go? Have you heard? You know when the, The ladies get together. The hens, yeah. The hens, the hen party. My, the woman that I live with,

she gets together with a group, I don't know, once a month, twice a month kind of a thing. It's there, they call them, it's the beavers. So the beavers get together. And I get the text. Have you ever heard of a micro penis? Oh, dear. Didn't think this is where it was going.

Yeah, I didn't see that one coming out of the DNA. I got to be honest. No. No, I don't, I don't know. It's probably a good thing that you haven't, I suppose. Yeah, that she's asking if there are such a thing. For some, I guess, you know. Seems to speak well of me to a certain degree anyway.

Not a micro. And then I just, no. A scrotum. Oh, geez. No, but it's a- Welcome back, folks. It's a surgery. It's summer still apparently.

Like a tuck, a scrotal raised or a scrottox? Scrottox? What are you got going on here? The scrotum? I guess over time starts to hang a little bit lower and a little bit lower to the point that guys feel the need.

Is it like your turkey gobbler? Oh, it's kind of like the mom units. They kind of, yeah, gravity is undefeated. Gravity and my life. Father time. Yeah, father time, mother nature.

You're all undefeited. Gravity, son of a gun. So I, you know what? You should start looking into it, I think. I don't know if Larry's having a scrotal tuck. Oh, that's where we're tied to them.

Gotcha. That's why I says maybe that's what he's up. And here's the thing. The Blackhawks have huge designs this year. Like this is going to derail the whole season. All right. Backups going to be on for two. All right.

Rasua, day to day with a huge pouch. Smaller than it used to be pouch, but still sizable. Well, we're back together. Look at us. I know.

Hey, look at us. How is everyone's, I mean, we did the show of pro skate. How was pro skate? I was there yesterday. And I was there two days before that.

I got to get my name's for that. I got to get my reserved parking spot of pro skate. Yeah. The gold place. Yeah. Yeah. I did a complete, Ryan, you're an idiot. You did it to yourself thing.

My kid's helmet's been too tight. I'm like, all right, you know, I don't mind getting second-hand gear, but the helmet, okay, I can justify. I know, it's a brain. Yeah. Hopefully a brain that's functioning well and we'll keep it that way. So I went in, did the whole helmet thing, got home, and then gave the old helmet to his brother and realized it was on the smallest settings. After I had expanded it, someone else had shrunk it. And so we now have two of the same sized helmet.

And then the smaller the twins, like, nah, I like my old one better. That's pretty good. Well, the nice thing is, though, helmets, you know, what, 40, 40 bucks, 50 bucks for 20, 25 bucks. The good folks at Pro Skate, you're in good hands there. I'll take care of you. I could have spent that on it. You got to pay to protect your brain. It's not what you got to do.

You got to pay. You got to pay to protect your brain. You got to pay the hot dogs. You got to pay the hot dogs. So, yeah, we did the pro. Skate show. That was a great day. That was a good day. You just left me hanging by the way. I don't know if you're I did. Ah, yeah. How so? I always get the text if we're doing something if it's a on location or a live show. Pick me up. Okay. When time. I'll get you both quarter after nine. Okay. Pick them up. Go to pro skate. Do the show. I'm helping RJ, you know,

put cables and stuff away. All right. Well, retro. Yeah. I go to, I go to the back. He's taking a leak.

I'm walking around. Shabbler was there. The kids were there. He got, he's just following the chain of command. Yeah. Like, did you not see the people show up?

Finally, I text. Did, did you leave? Yeah, I'm at home. A couple hours later. Yeah.

Okay. Good. Yeah. I was off to make. Maple Creek. Yeah, I guess that's right. How was Maple Creek?

Wow. It was great. Great maple syrup. That's what they do there. I don't know if that's the case in Saskatchewan. Yeah. Lots of maple trees. I just don't see them when I go.

So, and you know what? You know, this is, by the way, this is, it's a summer show. This is opening statements

for McLeod law. Of course it may not feel like it, like in the regular season of the hockey, time we're telling you about the flames game, what's going on, news and notes, that sort of thing. But this is still,

opening statements for our good friends at McLeod Law. Did anybody need any legal assistance over the summer? Get into any binds? Not yet. Jam. There's something on the horizon. Trending. There's always something that could.

Yeah. Got a couple circumstances out there that might. That's why it's good to have friends in the business like we all do with McLeod law forward to dealing with them. Guys like Shane King, partner in the litigation dispute resolution, group areas like employee rights maybe they're laid off terminated sort of thing we're all still here but again Shane will review your situation make sure you've been treated fairly as the law requires practical approach plain language not legal jargon they're the very best calgary people helping

calgarians they get it they are part of this city that roots run deep mccloud dash law dot com is the website yeah uh so opening statements so proscate that was a couple weeks ago I was Aug 10, I want to say. Is that done right? Saturday. I can't remember if it was after that. When was the origin brewing? Weekend before. That was the weekend before.

Strathmore Rodeo weekend. Yeah, because it's a long weekend. So I think that was before that. It was both the old counter. It doesn't matter. Anyway, it was about that time. Yeah. It would have been the weekend of the three, four, five.

Yeah. Every once in a while. We all can't make events, the three of us as well. I can't be there. Somebody else got to go. Ret was there. I roll into Strathmore. Go to the,

because Origin Brewing every long weekend there, it's the annual birthday party. It lines up perfectly with the Strathmore Rodeo. They have the big tent set up outside. And I think I showed that, the video,

whenever it was. And had a hell of a good time. Retro was there. And odd that there would be a place with endless flowing beer and drinks, and you were not there. What was funny is that,

You had the RSVP sent out a few days earlier. And you're like, hey, we're going to get some hotel rooms. Because, you know, that's a responsible thing to do. And you're having a few barley sandwiches at night. And Rhett was a hard knot. Can't commit. And then he was there. I knew I was busy that weekend.

Yeah. It was not going to work, sadly. I did. And as it turned out, I needed it. As we expected. Yeah. That is the thing that once you know you have committed, then go all the way. You have a room and you're you're all in.

Smoothly. Yeah, you're all in. But we had a great time out at origin. And hey, by the way, I don't know if this is for public consumption, I believe.

Origin brewing. Back on with Barnburner again for another, another full season. Does that mean I've got a little more leash to ask for free beer? Because they survived one year, they're back. I obviously haven't hit a threshold where they said, we're done with them.

You haven't crossed over. Yeah. No, listen, they're doing so great. They already mentioned it. They've got the new brewer. in town that they're pumping stuff out there.

Tough to keep up with demand. Barnburner blonde. It was a blonde summer. Still is a blonde summer. Yeah. And, but anyway, out at the,

that was another one where Rep just kind of evaporated. I did disappear. Where's the retro? That's his, it's a ninja smoke is that my brother calls. That's where you just poof and you're gone and no one knows where you want.

You don't say goodbye, you're just gone. Yeah. Houdini. Drew Gregory was awesome. Nice. I'll get the notes. You had pictures of this event last time we did a show.

Hell of a good time. Hell of a good time. So this is near the end of the night. I actually have somebody wanted to say hi. You know how it is. Hey, where's retro boom? We're out. Where's Pinder? Yeah.

End of the night. Which kind of, you know what happens at the end of the night? Yeah, you get a little hugier and more. The lights come on and you're a little more honest than maybe you would be. This is a gentleman. I believe a gentleman and his brother. They were one of the first two I ran into when I got, there uh these are but the last two i saw on the way out and they just wanted to say hi to uh they missed

you pender oh good pender needs about five or seven punches in pinder really does stay right pender's the fucking worst and we all agree he needs a vote of nut sandwich right there for sure right fuck pinder just say fuck pinder oh yeah fuck there Fuck Pinder is right. Fuck Pender. That's right. You're welcome, buddy. You're welcome.

You're welcome. The moment that freeze frame came up, I just thought, buy more blues. I knew exactly where this is going. I could see it on the guy's face. I knew this was, yeah. At the fairness, middle. I near the end is,

well, yeah. All right. Absolutely. So there you go. And people are hanging out with oilers fans. They're hard to get away from. They're everywhere.

They're out full. They weren't as vocal when they had that decade of shittiness where they weren't good and relevant and when they were missing the playoffs or the best player we'll ever watch in our adult lives. Now that they're competitive, I just see them. They're more, are they more social? There's a lot. They're becoming extroverts. Definitely more arrogant.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They come out. We'll see how it goes. It's such a great city. I don't know why some people leave. Find everyone from there.

Why aren't you still there? Leon. Yeah. I feel like every time we do another show, when we last chat, it's, when we last chatted, it seemed like the Leon dry-sitle extension was imminent. I don't want to get too excited, but this is now going the right direction for the fans of the other 31 teams in the NHL. Because it felt like it was mid-July when this is going to be eight years, it's going to be

high-13s, this thing's almost done. But the question would be, if it's almost done, why is it almost September? I wouldn't. If I was the order, I wouldn't wait. I wouldn't care. And if I was Leon, I would waste. Even with the distraction of that offer sheet, I feel like I'd stay focused. Isn't it crazy?

Like there's, it's been your, it's, it's been your thing. And in the last two to three years, we've seen both. No one ever does offer sheets and no one ever does a sign and trade. Yeah. And then for living does the sign and trade with the chuk. Offer sheets, to be fair, they just don't often not get matched. So we saw Kukki Nymi not that long ago and Sebastian Ajo. That was sort of.

Not enough though. Oh, for sure. I agree. But some people were saying, oh, it's been since like back. I'm like, no, no, they're more regular than that, but it has to be a very unique set of circumstances. And the thing of it is, there's compelling cases every year. If you wanted, if you wanted to look at it and see which RFAs are available as opposed to July 1st UFAs, it would be way more intriguing.

If teams line themselves up to take runs at these early to mid 20 year olds who are just entering their prime, is that you need your own picks for any of the picks that have free compensation. You can't. Oh, I know. And then also, if the team has an ARB case, they get a second. buyout window they can, like there's there are, it is more unique circumstance than I think people realize. Yeah, but it would be exciting. But Bushard, a summer ago you could have got for peanuts. The GM should be kicking themselves with that. He's now going to be a 10, 11, $12 million

defenseman. You could have done this to them last summer. And it's interesting how it comes down. And I, I think people understand. But it's not as though the offer sheet shows up and it shocks the player. The player has already signed with the other team. Like that's the, that's how it starts. That's the compelling part is Philip Roberg put pen to paper with the St. Louis Blues. And I just wonder, what's the communication ahead

of time? Does the player, does the agent tell the team, does the other GM Doug Arms, like are they? This one felt like it's, I need to do the two at the same time to make my probability of getting both better or even one of the two. And then on top of that, did you see the trade? They're like,

St. Louis is setting the rights to this NCAA defenseman and to third to Edmonton for future considerations. You're like, oh, that's Doug Arborys saying, oh, by the way, if you don't match, this is yours too. Is that allowed? Why not? It's a future considerations trade.

Okay. They give them an extra third. And it's in like 2028. But I just think of Betman. It's future considerations. You know what I'm saying. I know what you're saying, but like, look, it's, it's existed forever and they haven't closed that loophole, so it's still open.

That you can make a note. Future considerations that may or may not ever come. Like I think I can't think of another off top of my head but there's many where it's like take a pick and the player for futures are like a C prospect It happens all the time

I get a C prospect That's but that's a body Yeah someone with a That's either a pick or someone with a birth certificate I don't understand the futures because What if the GM's not there? The futures is nothing That's what everyone is acknowledging

And if you're another GM in the league Aren't you like well fuck that You're just giving them a third round pick to grease the wheels for the, like, no, that's not how it works. He did what he had to do to get the deal done. I hear what you're saying. It's kind of weird, but we see it all the time in other leagues. What if it was fantasy football?

The commission would definitely have not, that would not work. Right. You would, unless it was like someone, if it was Booby Dixon for futures, I'm okay with that. But I don't know that even the, the platform allows you to trade something for nothing. Give the ball the booby. Boobie. How's Boobie looking in camp?

It's not bad. It's not bad. I'm getting very excited about this. You were not here. I pitched it last week. That's this. We need a Jack chart. We have Jack, our producer.

Are we keeping track? Is that what it is? The Jack Cam has 30 days in September. We're still trying to get approval from the higher levels for the Jack Cam. But we need a weekly. How do I want to tell about the Steelers? Because last week he was a two. We've just named.

He's not listening at all. He's not picking up on it at all. He's just free trading. Russell. Okay. Yeah. Russell Wilson. Named starter.

He was a two out of 10 last week in terms of enthusiasm. It's very low for Jack. He doesn't really. Stick to the middle regions. It's either 8 to 10 or 1 to 2. I'm right in the middle right now. I'm not too high. I'm not too low.

It's very rare. You got to start here. Last year I was way up here. Yeah, you're Kenny Pickett's way up here. Now we're right in the middle. Five out of 10? Yeah. Five out of 10.

If we're going out of 10, five out of 10. If we're going out of 10, five out of 10. What if Russell Wilson isn't completely washed? Like everyone thinks that he is. And he probably would have looked good the last two years. It looked good last year. One of the top touchdown interception ratio's in the league.

So why didn't they keep it? That's a stat that you need. That Denver set up was in hindsight. It was poised for failure from the outset. And look, yeah, I'm not saying he was atrocious. I'm just saying if he was a part of something good there, they wouldn't have given away for nothing. Also don't forget that nobody likes it. That's the thing, too.

Remember that video, him stretching on the flight to London? Yes. That's what it was. The people that knew him the best that were paying him that saw his work said, we'll take a huge cap hit. Take the philosophy out of it for fantasy purposes or whatever, or if you're a Steelers fan. George Pickens is happier with Russell Wilson than whatever junk has been throwing him

footballs for the last two years, correct? The real question of me is it versus Fields would be what I would ask. Because Fields had supported DJ Moore as a really good receiver last year, even though he had a shitty season two. You tell me, picket? Who would Pickens prefer? He would prefer Wilson. I'm checking.

I think so. I'm checking with my other Steelers hunk. Yeah. You have two honks? One's in the family. Oh, wow. Gross. Wow.

So anyway, you know, it's. So we're checking in. He's two last week five this week. He likes the Russell Wilson News. We can infer. Jack, the Jack, uh, Jack chart. Jack chart.

I'm getting RJet maker graphic. Wasn't that that tennis player, his name was Jack Sock. Yes, right. He's played doubles. Mom and dad. Jesus Christ. Mom and dad, what are we doing?

My idiot kids just figured out the boy named Sue's song. They're like, oh, yeah, this is like a story. Oh. Yeah,

it is. Jackson, or he's born under a bed or what's the story? Yeah. So with that, your bears? They're on hard knocks?

I'm crazy to think. Oh, it's been no good, by the way. I heard it's not good. oh good and you know what maybe it's that they don't have the right people working on it or maybe it's just a season where there's not that compelling a story i feel he's very compelling he's

he's dull as shit yeah and it's it's got to be about Caleb williams and he's pretty much all right but he's he protective yeah it's been run like a brand i've got a trip for you oh old older brother brett and barton holt are headed to chicago to watch the bears game and the Blackhawks game. The Blackhawks play. Is that the annual trip that he puts together? No, because his kid is playing in Alaska. And he must be playing somewhere down there.

And so they're tying it all together. Maybe Notre Dame that's nearby, I believe. I don't think they play Notre Dame. Trying to think what's there. Doesn't matter. We should connect. Maybe we should all go. We should all go.

It'd be rude not to go Chicago. So had a Rick Ball under there. Right. Brian Campbell. Soup. Soup. Soup. Soup. soup.

Soup. It's probably going to be back here the time here, but we're making an excuse to go to Chicago. He's going to get out of Chicago as quickly as you can. It's coming up with the PIN report. If you're not paying attention, the Chicago White Sogs are a flaming dumpster fire. I've never seen anything this bad in Major League Baseball in my life.

And history does back that up. We'll get to it. Are they? An historic. Is anyone going to those games? Like, do they have any fans? I'm sure there's some, but it's like,

who's because even if you're a, if you're a holiday or a visitor, yeah, where are you going? You're going to the Cubs. You're going to Reilly. You already were.

So that's what I was going to say. If it was a one ball team town and there's shit, oh, you're going to go to a ball game. It's summer we go to a ball game. And it's a stabby neighborhood. It's not as friendly as regularly. It's quite stabby.

Stabby's not good. You need a dark, tinted, unmarked SUV, wheeling you're right to the front door there. Nobody likes a rusty shank. I rode public transit there. It's not a move. Nobody likes a rusty shank.

You got your, what's the shot they're going to give you after a dog bites? Some prick went through my truck yesterday. What's pressed the lock button apparently. You got to get that automatic lock thing. It's easy to set up. No, 15 seconds. What's wrong with people? Well, they're down and out.

I was going to say, it's probably not their top choice. Here's what I want to do with my life. Pull on door handles and find unlocked cars. The otter part is that this is still a somewhat newer truck. So has not yet been piled up with all kinds of. kinds of, like I live out of my vehicle. What did you leave in? Well, and you haven't lived here. There's nothing in there. It's still relatively clean. This poor bastard, three months from now, he's hitting a home run.

This is a whopper from 2012. This looks like a half empty pack of gum. All right. Well, out of nothing. Fresh breath. Um, I was going to say with that with the fans, it's stupid to bring it up. We don't a lot of people. We shouldn't live stream it or try and do it. What's this? Our fantasy draft next week. I wanted to talk to Jack about that. I got a big week. next week. Because the thing is, people, they love fantasy drafts. They don't care about anybody else. No, but they do love dumb shit that we do.

And it would be chock full of that. And I do feel like people are missing out on your annual. As soon as the first pick is made, you go into the chat and you say, worst draft ever, all caps. It's hilarious. I had to recruit you back to this league last year, only to give you $1,000 for winning it. I did win it. But if you recall, why you had to, I was never intending to leave.

But then I was insulted. to the point that I said I'm going to leave this draft. I don't recall this. Well, what it was is Ryan sent out a group chat. Hey, here's the thing, Hoopty-Doo. We're getting together at the big Whoop-Di-Doo.

X, Y, Z Pub or whatever. Because that's what Pender needs in his life to get away from his house. So it's $100 to get in and 150 if you don't come to the Whoopty-Doo Pub. I think it was we were going to up the fees to 125. but if you're in person, bonus deal,

100 bucks. So you were being, you're being fined to not go sit with pinder in a pub. Or you were getting a discount to have to deal with me. Fuck that. So my thought is, as the commissioner of league, I like to get the people in the league together.

Yes. And that it was waning each year, less and less people in person to the point where I may as well just had John Bender and Andrew McBride over in the three of us to come to my house. And I was kind of not liking that because the whole reason we're in this league is because we all had a relationship at some point where we saw each other.

Well, we all used to work. We used to work in the same building. And so it would be nice if we'd get to see each other, which, but some people don't like to see other people. Well, here's the same. Rule of thumb,

just for you and anything moving forward, as my partner in this and everything else, I don't hang with you unless I'm being paid. You were getting paid $25. Let alone paying to hang out with you. Right? So that's just rule of thumb moving forward unless there is, but what is this happening next wednesday pick me up jack's got like four drafts that night do you really

yeah i got a couple let's do it let's do it in the south though not three blocks from your house yeah that's the other catch here i uh i'm not a dick there are more people that live central than down south sorry we've done the math one two three that's there's a 14 team league bender mcbride we come down here every day because of you okay so for the draft we'll keep it central Yeah. For our studio, we'll move itself. I believe we just sent a lease, but otherwise, yeah, I'm in.

I can see why we'd sign a lease here. Because 25% of us live close. Yeah. You know what? Great park. I think you guys should have a South draft location, a remote location for the Southerners. All three you can get to go.

Because I was thinking of it logistically, which again, it's not really your thing. Look, that would be a great idea. Okay, so microphones, cameras, how many, feeds can we put into stream yard are we going to do it live do we do some post it would be a lot i don't know especially if people don't want to be in the we have a spot right here i mean you could do it in here you could do it in here why not just order in and have a that's kind of the idea we do have a beer fridge behind us then if it's a new deal we could get them reloaded the whole thing right to the back

load to the gunnels bb i'm an idea guy though i don't deal with details you got a week what's going on next week you're busy it feels like there's a lot on my plate yeah he doesn't know yet but he will be busy. I don't know what it is, but man, I'm going to be busy. Are your kids registered in school yet? I believe so. Oh, that's a huge development. That's what happened yesterday.

Wow. That's a moment too early. Are you a Calgaryian again? I am. Yeah. Red Mile 04. That's the answer you wanted. That's great.

It's great to have you back. People haven't asked me all summer and I said, how could I know if Rhett doesn't even know yet? Yeah. even when we did the live shot pro skates like yeah you know i'm 85 90 percent packed up the buffalo but you know there's still time for you turn there's someone that talks to my kid about sports and he's had to include me in some of these conversations and he actually brought up the someone else was asking him something and he's like until they're there yeah they're not they're

not there that's a good i've gotten to know that well you know how i am with with math i'm not good people would ask red are you coming or staying are you going to be in calgary says i'm about 8575 yeah exactly yeah so i don't know how that works you've got a hundred percent of being surprised and disappointed yeah that's the only thing i go so

uh but i have been looking at a place of some whitefish looks like your bright jesus jack if you get a chalet and whitefish we'll come help to set up that remote studio popular yeah oh buddy that jack yes hell yeah who had their place for I think it was Drew Breeze.

What? Yeah, no, I think that's a different snack bracket. There's a lot of people. We're going to need Barnburner to really take off. I can find that. I need some. Well, because then there's in, uh, what, not far from Cordillane, there's that fancy fly and fly out.

Oh, yeah. Gosser, Gosser ranch. That's where Gretzky is and Paulina and. There's a ton of siblings that aren't as hot as Paulina. Rich people. Oh, they have Montana spots, eh? Well, I think what they're saying, uh, politically.

and geopolitically is that in North America, there's a big spread between the haves and the have-nots. That damn middle class? They're having a tough goal, are they? Oh, Drew. Hey, what that? Red, that looks perfect for you and us. To auction.

It's not even to sell it. It's a tree house. Well, I think that's kind of. Oh. I love, my kids always wanted a tree house. Yeah. That's very nice. Very nice.

So what do you think? that's going to run a guy. 10 or 12. A couple hundred Gs. Yeah. 250. U.S. That's the thing I love is whenever you see it because it'll come up if you're on social

media or whatever, be like, this is what you get for 500,000, 600,000. It's never anywhere close to us. It's like, oh, that, okay, so how much, where is this? Oh. Oh, it's in, uh, Dick Licker, uh, Texas. Well, damn it. I don't live near. Dick liquor, Texas.

If I did, maybe I should move there. There's great things about it. It's like, yeah, it's just an eight-hour drive, and then you get a helicopter over this and then canoe for two hours. And look, it's only 100 grand. Yeah. It's an island in Sweden. Well, that doesn't help me.

I got a deal for you. 60 grand for an island in Sweden. You grabbed your phone there. Peter Ratchuck. First rounder, Colorado, Colorado Avalanche. Easy for you. A big jet employees. I don't know what his title is.

Really? He's kind of in there. He's kind of in there. He's kind of in there. Does he know that? He's in tight. So Peter, so I hear you're working for the Jets.

What does it you do? Well, you know, kind of in there. I'm kind of in there. Kind of in there. Yeah. All right of you. Yeah.

Pretty, pretty good. Another thing I got to tell you guys. Okay. Outdoor dental. Oh. back on for another season. Dr. Jay. Back on for another season,

outdoor dental. Back in. I got to go there. Yeah. But I don't want to be reprimanded by the hygienist. No, they're quite lovely.

They won't reprimanded you. I understand the season. They will. No, they won't. So how often are you flossing? You know, it is a thing. It's not an outdoor dental thing. No.

But it's a dental thing that the hygienists, how often do you floss? Do you know how to floss? What kind of a toothbrush? do you have? Do you have an electric toothbrush? Well, how long do you brush? Water pick. What size, what kind of head on it? Is it round or is it kind of diamond shades?

Are you trying to fuck me? Like, what are we doing? You know what I've decided to do now? I just preempt it all. I walk in and say, haven't flossed, not flossing enough. How's your day? Just like, immediately like take away the ammunition. Like, there he goes. You just, there, the whole monologue, throw it in the garbage. The reply should be, are you looking at the gybs? Because you know what's going on. You tell me. Yeah, don't play coy.

Don't be passive, aggressive about my jibs. Yeah, if you can't tell, then this is a whole huge hope is both lost. Yeah, this is some real bullshit or you don't know. Yeah, what am I on trial? Yeah. Played the fifth. It's called a cleaning for a reason. That's why I'm here.

Every six months now. It's called a cleaning. I'm here for a cleaning. It's not a lecture. It looks like there's some buildup. Is that real? No shit. It's been six months.

Yeah. That's what, that's what I'm here. It's like taking, your car to get the detailed. Do you wash your car very often? What kind of a shammie do you use? Do you use, are you using a wax or?

That's why I'm here. Freaking why I'm here. So if you're dentists doing that to you, go to outdoor debtor. Again, they're better better dentists than that. Outdoor dental back in, Dr. J. Patel, he's the best. The Salea laser. It is painless. It's the way dentistry should be and isn't in a lot

of places. But you can go in there. And of course, we've talked about it a long time. The snoring treatments, people are getting in there. They're getting the two 15 minute treatments with the laser goes into the back of your throat, soft palate, tightens it up. You start sleeping better, people around here are sleeping better, feeling good. It's awesome. So thank you, Dr. Jay.

I guess having some faith in us kind of sticking around, sign it back on. Probably a little scary, isn't it? And he's an OG. He's a day one, barn burner. That's right. At a boy talk. At a boy talk. people are in the whatever chat group thing here the text day they're messaging i guess if you're

on the youtube it's like holy shit boom's in studio yeah i know big day is this what we're doing now we're going to be here jack said he's doing a huge makeover for the whole studio so when that goes to shit you'll be back in your home studio i got a little intimidated the other day when i was in studio. Yeah. And then we had to have a meeting. Mm-hmm. Does this happen often?

Because perhaps my choice is to move back here. Jack, message me too. Are you able to stick around afterwards? We're just kind of a quick chat. So I brought the kids, that quick chat an hour later. The kids just turned into fall.

Hees. You saw it. Yeah. Bang, crash. Time to go. You said five minutes, 10 minutes ago. Okay, kids are fighting.

It feels like a parental thing. You would think if there was some discipline of some sort. The dog is chewing everything. It's going crazy. Oh, my dad on. How's your dog? Oh, good. At the vet the other day.

Oddly enough, teeth cleaning. Really? Yeah. Is he flossinging enough? He's not flossing enough. What? He's using the wrong electric toothbrush. Jesus.

He's not swishing with what a rebel. Well, mouthwash. Yeah. Yeah. where are we just that? Dr. Jay back in. So that's good news. That is good news.

Doesn't do dogs. No, I don't think he does. I don't think he does. No, because we were, that's what we were talking about because you're coming back. And there's,

there's been some gentle nudging my way from some of the other people within the, uh, the organization. Yeah. So hey.

Um, I think you'd ever, maybe want to go in studio to do shows a little more. Well, I have one just down the hall from here, like from, from where my kitchen and coffee maker is and all that. Yes.

Just as like, I can get from the coffee machine or the shitter to the, to where I sit in about nine seconds. But don't you love just getting out of the house and doing stuff? I do, yeah, because today was half an hour to get here, half an hour to park. Good, nice hour of my life.

The price of fuel is stable. Yeah, so basically, yeah, it's only just cost $250, $350, $300 a month. That's right. To come to work. Someone's got to keep the economy moving. Yeah, so that's good. Happy to do that.

But no, there was, has there any chance that maybe, because we're talking about, uh, I'd get a new desk. We'd be doing some, some renovations to the studio, but just wondering if Pinder are going to be the only one there,

or we're going to be using it. I said, well, if, uh, if big boys back in town, pick me up. That's,

that's what it, pick me up. It's going to be a little too late for, rats pick up to that's what it should be oh we've always we want to be in the same room we're hanging out together if if ret's back then yeah i can come in so we're going to have uh jacks all over your end very excited i am very excited but i'm also pretty nervous because for some reason i'm spearheading this new studio thing that we're doing and that just sounds like a horrible idea i think it's a great i think it's perfect i like the studio it is you want to change it that's your project have fun buddy

fill your boots. Can you do anything about the parking outside the Marta Loop? Can you do anything? We're going to start with the studio. Guys. If you do a good job, we'll put you under the... I'll say this.

Hey, fuck Marta Loop. I'll just put it up. I'll double down. Fuck Marta Loop. It's not Marlip's fault. The city of Calgary is dragging. That was the funniest thing of pro skate. When we throw out the, yeah, Martilip's the worst.

Marbleu's the worst. Hey, Josh. So you guys have got the delocation. Well, Well, you see what's going on a loop. God, I needed to. Yeah. Well, you, I mean, you live, I can see why you're happy here because you live about the same nine seconds for me to get to the coffee machine.

You're about nine seconds from your house to hear. The challenge is going this way. There's no issues. And that's like the direction of my house. It's that everything between here and Crowchild is an absolute cluster. And that's how you guys have to navigate. No, I'm talking about you. But you live very close.

Yeah. So I'm on the right side of it. This is easy. Yeah. This is great. Or also that we, it's not just Marloup area. It's the Deerfoot or the Stony or the.

Yeah, it's Stony, Glenmore, Groch, child. Even, even still, even with, there are perks to living centrally. There are perks to living where you guys live. There's certainly a perk to me living near the studio. Yeah.

I can walk or bike rather than try to find perk. I got an email for school. Clearly, we're registered about busing. Maybe we should look into busing for the three. That'd be great. Right? Yeah. Or instead of sinking a bunch of money into this, Jack, we just build our satellite location

because you're about 10 minutes from me. You're about five minutes for me. Bridge opened up. Oh, baby. So great. How long has that been? Because I thought only construction issues happened here. No, it's just, it's been a long time.

There was one bridge and then they built a second one. And then they shut down the first one. To work on the first one. And then by the time the first one, the first one was rehabbed, then the second one needed more work because they'd had just two-way traffic on that sort of a bit for about two years so two years two years i don't know it seems like it's a long time but anyway yeah so does i mean as long as somebody's in the room me jack and red can be together yeah that works for me i got to then you just stretch out yeah don't need to renovate this thing well i bother so are we

having to the party here if you want to i'm into that no i'm just an idea i'm throwing it out i like the idea very much i mean i what i don't want is you to sell us on the party here and then you don't come. That's more of my concern. If you're, if you're into it and you want to show up, that'd be great. What did you and the others do last year? Last year, we were at a brewery on 17th Avenue, which is owned by Big Oilers Hock, so I'm not going to give him a plug. Yeah. Good thinking. And a manager from the other place we used to go to, he just went over there. He's a big

oil or song. I just don't know if we can go there anymore. You know, you got to vote with your dollars. Is that your way in? two for these interviews if you're like you're for the oilers yeah all right you're good i don't know what it is we into what what you're talking about i'm saying you're switching spots you're picking a new job down there and you said he's a big oilers home i i that's part of the interviewing process i just think you know they they all get foamed up together when the playoffs are happening and high five and the next thing you know their best pals and and and leon leaves the house cards folds and and they're going to be like, what were we doing?

There's zero chance, Leon leaves. Zero. I think it's a non-zero chance that he leaves. I wouldn't say it's better. 85. So I find an interesting because, like, this is their best financial chance to win, probably of the McDavid era.

Right? They've got a good team. They've got Bouchard making like six, seven million bucks less than he should. They got Leon making five to six million dollars less than he should. Conner's on a song of a deal. They still have Echoom under, contract. Skinner hasn't got a raise yet from his second contract. That all changes.

Like next year, Bouchard goes to 1011. Next year, if they can retain Leon, he's going to go to 1314. And now just to bring back the same guys, you have to carve out another, let's say the cap grows by three, another $10 million. Then you look at the system. It's a bottom five system in the NHL. They have one top 100 prospect. They're the oldest team in the NHL by average age on their roster. I get Leon being excited about this year. If you have to commit for eight years, I think there's many better options. If Leon wants 15, how do you say no? Yeah, and I think he'll get 15 if he wants 15. But my point is that you can find teams in better shape to handle him and be competitive for the next eight years than what Ebbinton offers. You don't have Conner,

you might have Connor McDavid if Leon leaves because he's not staying if Leon's gone. That's my guy. But if those two are kind of joined at the hip, then you go to Chicago. If If I'm Leon, I don't need to talk to Edmondson. No, you talk to Conner. I know, I'm going to get my money wherever. Yeah. And I know I've been to these cities. I know what's nice and what's not nice.

Yeah. Yeah. Connor, what are you doing? What are we doing? If we're going to stick together, what are we doing? And if Connor can't give you the straight answer, you might have to say, okay, well, I'm not committing to Edmonton. If Connor's not going to commit.

In today's world, I don't understand how if you're Leon Drysidlo, you don't. I don't know how the Oilers allow him to leave, but they don't have any say in it if he wants to leave. Correct. He holds all the cards. This is his walk year, and they have to win a cup this year, or things get much more difficult. He's got all the leverage.

He can ask for whatever he wants. Remember when Korea and Salani both went to Colorado or whatever it was, and they took less to go there? It's like, well, just give them the cup. There's no point in even playing the season because they're, and it didn't work. How old were they? Well, I mean, it's not a comparative.

I just mean, those were two guys that picked their spot together and took less to play together. it's just that they weren't in their primes like Leon and Dre. I'm not saying you're trying to compare. It's just that these guys are going to go get big term deals. The only way I'm signing in Edmonton, if I'm Leon, I sign a one-year deal, so I line up with Connor. And then we can both make our decision at the same time.

The nightmare for Leon would be commit eight years. And then Connor looks around. Something doesn't go right this year. And he's like, bleep it. I'm out. I wonder if there's anyone who could put together a compelling argument that Pinder would take just even a step back and say, okay, I can see that makes sense for,

Leon and Connor to stay in Edmontton. I don't. Do you think there's anyone that should do it? I'm sure there's someone that is. This is my, I don't understand it. Like if I'm sitting there, it's not the skill.

It's that you just put, you just eventually just put the wall up. When's the lockout? When is it? A couple more years? Because I actually wonder what's going to come. Well, I know. I know.

But is there going to be a situation where the tax advantages, I don't know how they're, okay then if you're leon and you're not worried about that but when you're talking about that kind of money you can go we've said it you can go either way well i'm making 15 million what difference is it i'm going to make 100 plus million who cares here or there yeah and then the flip side is man if it's only two or three percent difference i go times up by 100 million it's a lot like you can sell both sides of that exactly that's 15 20 million dollars that i'm not getting to stay in edmonton yeah do you want to know the players under 25 on the emminton oil

I want to move on from the Oilers, but okay. They're the hot topic. No, they're not. They kind of are. I think it's. Who's been talked about more this summer? They're odds on to win the cup. They have two offers sheets thrown at them.

It's a walkier for a superstar. Plus, you've already covered Larry's scrotal. That's right. Yeah, Larry, you really hit the. Strel tuck. Team 31's backup goalie got more love than I thought I was going to get today. Hey, it's breaking news. Breaking news.

You've got to cover the big stories. It's what we do. our obligation here on this thing. But we are still a ways away. It's Labor Day weekend. Because for the purposes of this, so when are we going to, Wendy Rapida? You're still a ways away from significant meaningful news when it comes to NHL. It's got to be some PTOs coming out. You've seen a couple. It's PTO season. Yeah. That's always big. It really is. No, it isn't. Who are some notable PTOs in Calgary that we got all excited for? And obviously it was nothing. thing. Well, Brendan Morrison came on a PTO, didn't he? Did he sign? And then signed?

So that those are the rare. PTO. He was after me. I think we had a Ritchie wonder Sutter. Yeah. I mean, we got richie. Uh, writer. The news. If you say Richie, uh, Byron, Richie, Ryder's father. Right. Yeah. Ryder got, uh, traded from PA to, uh, medicine head. Moving up in the world. Who is the, uh, the redhead that I was it last year, two years ago there. Cody Eakin. Thank you, Texter. Oh, wow. Cody Eacon was a P. PTO, the long hair that went to Washington. Milano, Sunny Milano. Sunny Milano was a CURly.

So they've had some guys. It is, I mean, that's not a good batting average for PTO guys to go in and then beat out somebody that already has a contract. What it is, is we remember the ones that work every single year. They bring in a boatload of PTOs and they almost never work. And it's a reminder that we think it's real news and it's absolutely nothing burgers. It's nothing. Is there, there's a, there's a lot of, always an opportunity, I guess, for any team. Is there any point in the flames bringing someone in?

I don't think this year. With what is on board this year? We went through the lineup a couple weeks ago doing it when you weren't here. And it was like, where are you fitting these guys? And how, how are you? You want to get ice for kids. And so if you're going to do that, why would you bring in a guy trying out to be the 13th four? Not based on caliber of player, because you could probably find some guys who would be better on your third or fourth line. But you have what? What's this season going to be for the team? You have these kids.

Yeah. So here's an example. You could find someone that you know has a better floor than Jacob Peltier this year. So you're really excited to go get the guy and put Jacob on waivers and lose them before you know what he is. I don't do that. He showed the lineup, Jack put it up. Yeah. And it was like, where are you putting Peltier and Korn on?

Like, I already think they've got too many. I'm rejigging things a bunch here. I got bad news for Walker Duh. I know. Can you say it right, please? Walker Duh. He hasn't earned that for a while. Well, Walker Doo, drop the ball.

Walker Duh, he's not been great. Last little bit. You got married. You called it. Kevin Rooney, someone's going to figure out how to play the middle and you're in trouble, sir. But it might not be right away. Is it Zari? Is it possible?

Do we hate Kevin Rooney? We don't speak very hard. No, he's just a number five center. and he's playing number four center. Really good guy. I don't think we've seen a whole lot of them either. Daryl didn't like him. That would be safe to say.

He definitely rotted in the A when Daryl was here. He's also had a couple of major injuries. Injuries. But he played a full season down there under Dental. Didn't have any interest in seeing. No. He'd made up his mind. Which is odd because he likes older veteran guys.

Yeah. I believe that your Daryl had 100% committed to a lineup and was just, that's enough. I don't know that that's. Even at training camp, I heard it was like, there's the team A team B team And you people And there is no battles for jobs No one's pushing

And then the year after that We saw a bunch of kids come up and like oh They're more than pushing Now you can sell it both ways It was that extra year Daryl the They overcooked Or it's Daryl doesn't like young kids Look at these kids

That could have been helpful last year We'll never know I'll never know which kind of is Conroy Our buddy I wonder what kind of summer he's had Because when we talked to, he was at the Helinka and moving. Pressure.

Oh, please, working hard. It's good to say hi to his pals. There's no pressure this year. We got our picks in. You know what the pressure is? Kids coming. Pressure is you got to Kuzmenko's a free agent at the end of the year? It's not his pressure.

That's Kuzmanko. No, I just mean you're going to have to trade him at some point. Hey, Huska, play the shit out of this guy so I can trade in a large. It's not, I mean, last year was pressure. Yes. Because you need. Kuzmiko. It's nowhere near the same level of pressure.

I agree. They're heading to the last year of Kuzmanko, and that's the only, like, legit top half of the roster player that needs a deal. Vladar, sure, but he's a backup at best here, it looks like. By all means, you know, blow those expectations out of the water and you can trade them. But, you know, they got coolly who they like, and apparently like for a while. You've got a young kid that needs time in net. If Danvlar wants to play well and you can get rid of them for a pick, you got to do it, don't you?

Dempico might be broken. Maybe they won't. looking for a goal, apparently. Golly. Look at that one. She-Lovs was wonderful, but you're going to need someone else to plug the hole until Demko's back.

Watch your mouth. She-loves? Plugging the, uh. Oh, I see. We got the line up. So you were saying you're going to rejig some things. I just, you have Zary and Pospisal as center,

centerman, potentially. No, but I do think both those guys should get reps to see if they are centers. Uh, I love the idea of Igor on the wing, but he's just their best option right now, not because he's a center, but because of all the wingers, he can probably do the job the best.

What if you move Zeri to the middle and you see his, who do you plan with? Offensive side tail off a little bit. Then I leave him on the wing. I mean, I guess, it's just, you know,

Sharon Govich, Zeri, if it's just more of the same. If you've got two guys who are better as winger. So here is what I was looking at this morning. What if you had Marty Pospisole is your fourth line, center and that line created shit and you put a skill player like Coronado on the right side. That's 100% what I would do.

Yeah. Because he's big, he's strong, he's playing center today in Slovakia. We'll talk about it in the Pind Report. They got Olympic qualifiers going on for some of these smaller nations. And I think we get married to this idea. The fourth line's got to be grit and physical and not a lot of skill. But you've got to find a spot for Coronado and Peltier to play where there is some skill around them. you don't want them to work with Rooney and Lomburg and Doer.

You want them to have some young guys that have some skill to work. You want to be able to show off the offensive side of the game. If you went pospical with like Lomburg and Coronado, I'm like, okay, now we don't need to see Kevin Rooney, who we know is the number five center in the NHL and is only here because they have two centers. And I don't know what it looks like, but I would try it. It might not work. I would try Zerry down the middle just as we saw them try share and go, but just see if it works. Where are they better? Where do they help the team the most?

They have a drastic need at center ice. They got a 34-year-old, a 35-year-old, and no centers in the system that you know are NHL top six centers. There could be, but there's the only two locks at center ice are Backland and Cadre. And they're both in their mid-30s. That would be quite a line of muck, whether it's that ended up, whether it's Coronado. But if you have Pospisle Lomburg and then player X. And Cornell does get on the forecheck.

He separates cash. He's not big, but he plays very, very, like he's a really good. four checker but if you had somebody who's a bit of a as disturb a bit of a rink think yeah you're him one of them there actually had three of those guys wheeling around now possmistle doesn't drop the mitts and we don't drop the mitts much don't drop the i don't need to even better that's more annoying than totally yeah i can settle this because i'll just go fight the guy yeah no i'm not fighting anyway and we know how good their power play is if you can draw some penalties think of the offense that'll uh come from the power so if you had that line together longberg possible

Coronado. Well, we got rid of Savard. We'll be better. It's got to be. That's right. Plus, Kuzmanko, as soon as he or I got better anyway. That would leave, you could slide Peltier into the safety position of the back in line with Coleman. Right.

It doesn't like that idea as much. I do. I think that's the best place for a young kid to come learn the defensive side of the puck. Still get some chances. I talked to David Strews should Regina with Connor Bedard. Strudel. Yeah. Hey, strudel.

How's this, how's this kid? Is he? What is he? It's going to be the real deal? It's cracked up to be? Oh, yeah, Recto. This kid's good. but I got to teach him to play both ends of the ice.

No, you don't. Yeah. There's a lot of Hallfamers that never learned that end of the ice. What are you saying to me? Remember it's like when Scotty Bowman had got so much credit for Steve Iars him and playing both ends of the rink. Yeah. Kind of ruined some things there. You know, because then we went through an awful air of not a lot of offense and kind of boring hockey.

Different style hockey. Anyway, Peltier in the lineup is a preferable wherever he might. I really want that to work out. I think he's a good kid. They invested in him. He's had some injuries. Tough year last year. He's got a little bit of PTSD.

He's taking some big hits. I just wonder as a smaller guy, are you? He played timid in the H.L. He played timid, right? Bit I saw, which is not what you want. But you just hope that's part of a bad year that he can flush because he didn't look like that before. Or an injury that wasn't completely.

That too. Sure. Yeah. And then if you're, then your top six, you've got a line that cheats and a line that can do a bit everything. Like you're sharing Govich Huberto, Manta. That's no one knows how to play D. That's your one line. And the other line would be Cadre Zary Kuzmenko,

which you hope could do something at both. I need to, mantha. What? What? This is a, we'll bring you in. Not unlike Kuzmenko, you're cheap. And we'll try to, cheapest chips. We'll try to restore the assets value, and it's a pump and dump. We'll move you at the

deadline for a second or more if you can get going. Yeah, it's potentially buying a draft pick, I guess. Yeah. And you know, do they have a lack of people that can score and play the right side. Yeah, they do. That said, if they went through free agency and didn't get Anthony Mather, I would not have been shocked either. Yeah, there's, I think they were really close on Victor Arvinson and he spurned them for the Oilers at the last minute. I would not have liked Victor Arvinson. He's a vet. I mean, I liked him a lot five

years ago. I like him as a player. I'm just saying, where does he fit? It's not the life cycle that fits. No. It's sort of like the people that would say the flames will never fully commit to a rebuild. Why you staying in the mucky middle the arvenson signing would be that yeah and he wasn't going to sign for a year but i wonder if they did that if they wouldn't have done mantha who knows they had room to add a skill top six winger i suppose but i just ratsy coronado there like kids they make them earn it sure but the problem is what happens when a young kid's outperforming a vet are you is are you ready for the poty pants veteran making too much money because they weren't ready with hubertoe last year they never really did it yeah they benched

for a third period. We did kind of see to a certain extent. I know that Jake Debrusk was talking about it, that the flames had kicked the tires on him. I think the term and money got way ahead of where. But just that there was, there was some interest there from the flames to bring, to bring that guy in.

He's young enough that you can still. He's a good player. Wrap your head around why it would work. But yeah, Vancouver. The one, I didn't understand is, how are you going to build contenders for him? because you don't need him that bad. It could work.

But that's like a last couple pieces of a contender type of bad, right? Vancouver. You're not a Jake DeBrusco away from anything here except being more mediocre and lower draft pick. I just, to go and spend future dollars without knowing present day what you have in your own players. And he's not a center. He doesn't solve a problem.

You get two or three years down the road. And does him having a good year mean you drop two to drafts? That's what I mean. It wasn't going to help you get better long term. I would rather keep all the. cap space and then if players become really strong then you can pay them and if not then you've still got that capital that you can use in other ways and it's just you know we don't need to keep talk about the oilers and you talk about things that happen all the time so they got to have

money to pay leon they got to have money for this they got to have money for bushard and all this and they go and even if the contracts were good they go and sign skinner and arvinson soon forwards what the why don't get it still don't have a tough bring cori perry back for a million dollars what is happening. Why, why do you continue to do the same thing? Their average age is 30 plus years. I know it's a million dollars, but I'm like, why in the F would you waste a million dollars on it? What's he bringing? Yeah. He looked pretty cooked. He's cooked and he's had a great career and it's time. You don't need veteran leadership. If you do, then you, something's wrong. They've got enough guys over 30 there. They shouldn't be missing that.

Derek Ryan, three million a year. Oh, yeah. What if it's, and it's, at the end of the day, it's not a huge difference. What if it is one, just league minimum? What if it's, don't want it. I've said it all, I said it about Stamco's, whether I'm right or wrong as far as what he's got left in the tank

and what the value, sometimes change just for change into a lot. Why do we think here where it's like, well, we've got to find a spot to put Peltier in? Would it not be more beneficial for the Oilers to have Perry gone? an empty spot on the roster or broberg on their blue line we're going to make more sense right then what arvidson and yeah cori perry skinner i mean the skinner thing i like skinner i always doesn't play d they could build a line that cheats all day it'd be arvidson and sure eyesightle and skinner and they could go but i don't understand the whole approach i don't like they're still

going to be good but it's it's uh they did they made very short-term decisions because they're trying to leave flexibility for the next two off seasons. We're talking, we're giving an applause for sponsors that are hanging around. How about a round of applause for our new gaming partner, Bet365? Bet 365 on board. Jack, very excited. Great app. If you're into the online, if you're into the gaming, if you spend it with football, Sundays.

It's common boys next Thursday. The Bet365. is tremendous and they are on with us with Barn Burner. So Bet 365, the world's largest sports betting platform, open account, easy to do with Bet365 today. And you can bet on a huge range of markets. There's stuff in there. I don't even know what that is, but they throw a couple bucks down.

Murray State? I don't know what steeplechase is, but I got five bucks. What is handball? I thought that's what you didn't want to get cut doing in the dugouts. What are we doing here? What's handball? So do whatever you got to do. Whatever is it.

Go to the app store and download it today. And when you open a new account, use the code FN bonus, as you see on the screen. And, uh, you know, I'd help you all. It's not the worst time to give a little reload to the account with the NFL. Always good. And the thing is, once you put it, because you're just going to do so much winning, you're never going to just kind of. I don't know that they guarantee that part, but it.

No, they don't. But it's not part of this. It's fun to watch a game. So whatever the sport, whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at Bet365. Promo code. F. N bonus. FN bonus. Got used this morning.

Got used to what is what, what do you, what's your betting? Do you want to read my bet? I do want, I want you to read your bets. Let's do the bets. We may as well do it. You know, that's the other thing too. We got to, it doesn't need always go where it goes. We can drop this in.

But if we're doing it now, let's just do it now. Of course, NFL season is almost. Uh-huh. Is it amongst us? Upon us? Yeah. Upon us. A week today.

Right? A week today. Chiefs, Ravens, a week today. And the bills are my team. So I had to put just a little $10 bills to win the Super Bowl. It's their year. It's their year. Plus,200.

How many years have you worked with this guy? Also. So Josh Allen has been, you guys have disrespected him. Have we? In here, you're not giving him enough kudos. Yeah, he's no Russell Wilson, right, Jack? That's right. So of course I was going to go Josh Allen MVP.

Somehow I added a West Virginia plus eight and a half this weekend to that bet. So, okay. We're going to parlay that bastard and it's going to turn out for me. And then I was talking with Ginnle the other day. They love Utah. It's a great state. Teesh, huge, huge Southern Utah fan. They're getting 39 and a half going up against Utah.

Southern Utah against Utah. Yeah, and I'm going to go with the Southern Utah's plus. What did you yell to Trev at the hockey game a few years ago? Too many, many points. That's too many. 39 and a half. This has got 36 written all over it. Why is 39 and a half?

Doesn't make sense to me. I'll tell you what. I didn't realize. you know, sometimes you get a, for me, it's, I love NFL and getting on with Bet365. I'm on this thing all the time because you're in games. And it's like, all of a sudden, the points threads are moving and there's momentum swings and all that. So maybe you go in after a while and you forget what your balance was. Right.

Holy cow, I forgot I, I must have won some futures bets. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got $6.98. Yeah, baby. Gurn in a hole, baby. No way now. Oh, man.

That is. 698 on Allen, West Virginia and the bills to do the Super Bowl. That's going to be a big now. You just have to wait a little bit for it. Tail red. You're going to tail red today? I might just, I might scan, peruse myself and just see what's. I got picks if you want.

Yeah, do it. I'm in. So what I love about Bet365 is like they say, like there's so many bets. Like I don't know that I've seen a place with so many things to bet on it. So they have point totals up over unders for all. all 32 NHL teams. So you can bet the over or under for teams totals. So I looked at Calgary Flames.

They had them at 81.5 points. I believe the Flames were at 81 last year. Now, they had a pair of Noah Hannafin and Christana that was very good last year for two thirds of the year. And they also had Jacob Marksman probably one of the top three to five goalies in the league for two thirds of the year. And got to 81 points last year. Now, do I put all $6.98 cents on this?

I would just... Again, it's a futures. I'm going to have to deposit some dough. So I like the under 81.5. No offense to anyone. I think it's going to be a hardworking team. Under 81.5 points, it's a minus 110. I love that for the flames.

You can see some other season totals in there. Interestingly, the sabers and hurricanes alphabetically are around. Just to give you some context there. But I wouldn't be surprised that the flames were more than a point worse than last year or even the same. Yeah, I could see it happen. I'll take that side of things. The other bet, a team that was dog shirt last year, they're very young and skilled.

They had 69 points last year, I believe. And 69 and a half is the over under. Columbus added Sean Monaghan. Columbus got a coach that will do a better job. Columbus had more skill than what their team showed last year. I like the jackets not to be good, but to maybe get into the 70s for a point total in the NHL's regular season. Go, Johnny, go.

the addition of Monaghan, the deletion of Lione. Yeah. Who's the coach? They brought in the old Minnesota head coach, Dean Eveson. Oh, I think next time I do a live show. It was Brad Larson and now he's here. Then it was Babs before that or Babs after. And then Pascal Vincent.

That's right. Yeah. Head spinning. It's their fourth coach since the end of the 22, 23 season. Goodroll loves going through coaches. He's just ripping right through. Hey, it's like, God, I love this guy, but I can't wait for the next guy. Oh, I love new coaches.

So great. Yeah. Actually, I'm not sure about this. this coach. Well, at least I'm close to home. How long is the drive? Fuck. Yeah, maybe get another one. Maybe get another one. So those are my best today. I love looking at those. And it's, we all, we see things through all these biases that we have. And it's nice, a sports book is balancing money and using experts that if you just literally built the standings out based off their projections, there'd be some surprises in there. Like New Jersey's a top

three futures bet for the cup. They missed last year. They were not close. Now, everything went wrong, They add Markstrom. They've retooled some things. DeFollies out. We're going to do that game. We're asking where guys play next time we do a show. It's going to be unbelievable. I was going to bring something up.

And then it's like, geez, I don't know if he plays there anymore. So I'm just going to shut my fat mouth on this. We'll have to do a little refresher before October 5 or whatever it is. Yeah. Well, you know what I was thinking?

We always do our bold prediction. We can do it we'll call it like the time capsule. And whatever, what are the things you take where you bury them and pull them up 20 years later? We could do a time capsule and then take those clips. and run them on game 82. Oh, that's a horrible, great idea. And just see how bright and accurate we are.

We will look like morons and it will be great. So I think we have to do it. So we'll try and do that. That's very us. Yeah, very us. So shouts to bet 365 on those shoots. They also point totals for like 80, 100 guys you can go over, runners on.

Yeah. I love their app. I've been on that app for years. It's, the in-game stuff is so fun. because it sucks when say you do your bet or whatever and 14 nothing 21 to 3 it's the first quarter there's no juice there's no excitement left in that bet for me unless I go and I'm going to get it back in game because now the the line is moved I've put a little bit 12 points oh hey it's a I like this so that all of a sudden you're cheering for your initial bet to lose for sure because your

next bet is going to you're totally redeem yourself right in so it's awesome it's awesome uh pinder report to it all right were you at the old uh i was i got to chat with jacko we uh saturday noon till four was the fourth annual show and shine the old uh acura honda car show up at village honda your dealership for life big crowds raise of money for the subi foundation doing great work in uganda we had All kinds of incredible modifies, classics, and Best and Show Award given out as well. Tons of fun. Good to see Anthony and the gang up there. And a lot of people take better care of their vehicles than we do is what I noticed.

I don't know if you guys saw that. Is that right? When you go to a car show. Yeah. I didn't see any burgers from the flood in the back seat. Yeah. Nor like the pile of wrappers and juice boxes that I get in the back of my vehicles. It's quite impressive.

Great day. And, yeah, show. all the folks at Village Honda for having us up. And of course, the new vehicle pricing is always MSRP. There you go. That's I've, I just slid by it. Like, hey, how can we help you today? I just, is it true?

Oh, what's that, sir? MSRP. MSRP. Always, uh, sorry, what are you getting at? I just, I heard a new vehicle pricing is all MSRP. Yes, sir, that's accurate. Okay, thanks. Just wanted to know.

Just needed to know. Just clarifying. Northwest Automol online at village honda.com. VillageHonda presents the Pinder report. All right. We start with a tiny bit of a flames angle here. It is August still, fellas. The Olympic qualifiers are on.

Canada, don't worry. They're in. All the tea, the country's good at hockey. They're in. Slovakia on the bubble. They've got to play their way in. Marty Pospasal playing center today with his brother. Jack.

Christian Pospis. Pospasol. Also, forever aflame, Merrick Hrivick, centering the top line. Slovakia's got Austria today. That gave started at 9 a.m. So we're probably somewhere around the third period. Know that results killing you. But that sort of led me into the...

We said that... Craig Conner came on the show when we were Toronto. They just traded Lindholm. It was like, okay, so you lose a center. What about Center Iceman? And he said, Zeri and Pospasel both think they're centers. it doesn't mean they're right. It doesn't mean it's going to work.

But I would be all over Marty Pospital as a center in camp just to see what it. You don't have to do it. You may as well look though. Look under the hood red. Let him play. Yeah, I don't know that you'll with this team, you'll look back and think, if they didn't spend two weeks of training camp trying Pospesal at center, then we'd be so much further ahead now here in December, 25 games in.

You probably got the luxury of, I would say, you know, longer than two weeks even. I really don't give a crap if they go to December. Dude with Zeri too. Let's see some of these kids. I like Zari. I do too. Smart player. Defensive numbers were sparkling last year.

What was it that Cammy said last year? He's got a bit of jerk in his game. I forget how she phrased it, but she was bang on. He's got a little bit of me. He's got a bit of that to him. Possible's got a lot of that. He's got a lot of it. It's not, man.

Sometimes too much. Get some in trouble. Yeah, that's a great kind of trouble. We're going to need you to just kind of scale back in the man. That's why you put Longberg on the wing, because he can be the man. And possible, like, me like, man. Okay. Let's move on.

One more time. Well, if possible's playing with Longbird. So Pospesal's doing. And then Lomburg is, no. And then Pustle back, me. That's, yes. They'll be, get those shit heads together. That'd be awesome.

And Cousins. Cousins is a free agent. Is he? Yeah. Pick him up. By the way, on Department of Discipline today, the show Jay Rose Hill and I do weekly, Nick Cousins, from his home with his young child without a contract for next year still despite being a cup champ.

Connie and Iggy. You win the cup. I mean, we'll see how it goes. But yeah, he'd prefer to have a home right now. Connie and Aggie sitting in the Oscar. Okay, so we've got, just looking at PTOs here. We've got, so here's the D, there's defense. Have you got the, the, the dick list?

Where's the, how's our shithead quote? Yeah, where's the, it's the, the asshole list? Because maybe we'll bring one in. Could we dream on a cousins, posthousal Lomburg line? I would do it. Oh, my heart's at Twitter. Do you, yeah, I mean, yeah. That's a lot of Richard.

I'm just thinking. That's a full Richard line. It's like, are you then endangering some of your own people by having such a line of... Do we get into the nuclear deterrent territory? That's what I'm saying. Maybe you need somebody to China. I don't know. Yeah.

I just popped to my head. Because we like Longberg. Sure do. But you can put them in your backpack. Yeah. Nick Cousins similar, though. They're more pests than not fighters. So that's a now we got to...

That's the bad side. Then we got to carve out another spot. So we looked at the roster. It is a slippery slope. Who's going to do the scrap? There's one fourth line spot gone there for what if I told you? Somebody off the third line for this big lung head. They got a winner that's 6-4-235.

It's man. Okay. Oh, shit. Yeah. Rampi's not going anywhere. Former flame Matthew Kachuk, Stanley Cup champ. Everyone remembers he kind of went off script in the Stanley Cup on the Ace celebrations when he came on sports night.

He was asked about what happened when he shouted out. Calgary after winning the Cup of the Panthers over Edmonton. Do you know what? It was right before my interview. Addie, who's our PR girl, who's unbelievable. She's like, would you mind doing an interview with Sportsnut? Like, well, we have a few minutes before the picture or something. And I'm like, sure.

And it just like, it kind of like clued on like, and I would never really think about it like this, but I was like, oh, sports not like Canada. Like I've got a lot of people in Canada, like family watch. watching and I was like I mean I hate Edmonton and I love the people in Calgary so like why don't I like give them a little shout out like that all happened in like two second before I'm like I got family and in Ontario I've got my grandpa in Winnipeg and then I've got a bunch of people who I love in Calgary so like why not like you know shout them all out because they you know

those those people in Calgary gave me the the kind of my identity as a player and allowed me to feel very confident and kind of got my foot in, you know, I got into the league in Calgary, obviously, and really learned, you know, all the qualities of a player that I have all started there. So they miss you too. Got to give them, got to give them a shout out. And I love the people there and went to the Sampede for a couple of days. You did come to Stampede.

Yeah. There's a bit of him that's kind of like a pro wrestler, right? Yeah. It's time to cut a promo. Okay. How am I going to put on the heel? How am I going to say something to infuriate some people? For such a Richard type player, he is very smart in terms of like,

That whole, yeah. That thing, man, that hurts as much as everything. We talked about Johnny leaving or whatever. Yeah. You drafted him. He's perfect. He's a leader. He's a dirtbag.

He's a great player. He's a good. 100 points. He is exactly what you wanted him to be. Yeah. He's a superstar. What you got to Hubert? Oh, sorry.

Okay. I'll pick things up there. There's my soundboard. Let's go to baseball. Yeah, we've got to move that in. Curse word or something. Moving in here. Baseball.

let's go. Shoahoe Town. He's still good at baseball boys. He's changed from the American League to National League this year, but what hasn't changed is he's dominant. Home runs, not bad. He's at 42 already. Probably going to take down the Dodgers' all-time record, which surprisingly is held by former Blue Jashon Green.

Yeah, but How's his pitching? This year, not great. You know what he is good at, though? Stealing bases and hitting home runs. He's got 42 of each. There's never been a 50-50, I don't believe in Major League history. He could do that. That would you absolutely well. Speaking of

Shohei, it was Shohei Day, his bobblehead, people were lined up for miles outside the stadium. His dog throughout the first pitch. They basically put the dog on the mound, ran the ball, and then he hit a home run as well on his bubble at night. Yeah.

It'll be you, Leon. Don't you want to play Shoah in L.A.? Go play. Show for the Dodgers. In L.A. Come on. So he's good. What's also good, check out this fan catch. We don't see these very often.

Well, some of these we kind of see, but let's watch the whole thing and react. Who's got it covered, a lot of ground covered, the lefty. That's right. Gloves on each hand. No, no, not two. I mean, two would be cool. Hey, two's cool. How about three?

Elevate. Same inning. Three foul balls, same inning. See, these are the perks of having a two. team leaving and a really shitty owner and going in the Oakland call team. You can have your old half a section to get balls until they leave that, yeah, that stadium until they bugger on. He's ready for a while.

I hope he gave those balls to a kid. Give it. No, that guy's keeping him. He's like that Richard. I was out of New York. He's going to keep those. I feel like that's one of the biggest pieces of karma that you could ever do. If you're out of ball game, you catch a ball, got to give it to a kid.

Yeah. Hell yeah. You keep a ball and there's kids around. Oh, I gave it to my kid. That counts. That's fair. Yeah, I guess that counts. Yeah, that's fine.

We'll accept that. And then when you get home, give me that ball back. Good work. Here's 20 bucks. I thought you were giving it. I just didn't want anybody getting on me about keeping the ball. Shut up. So again, Dodgers good, Otani good, that fan good, three foul balls, one inning.

Leon loves L.A. Leon loves L.A. Yeah. It's going to be a great Dodger. And so we have to even it out with something that's not good. Ladies and gentlemen, the Chicago White Sox have 100 losses before the end of August. That's never happened in the history since the 19 team. Somewhere between 1910.

Congratulations. Yeah, White So we have some. So here's how things are going. Not since whistling Willie Dixon. That's shoeless, Jim Beam. Sleaves McGillacutty was the MVP that year. Here's how it's going for the White Sox. It can't even get the warm-ups in the inning ready.

Yeah, you know, it's all that. That's just how it's going for the White Sox. It's no good. In fact, even when you think something's going to go right for the White Sox, check out this at bat. It's this is this is bottom nine two runners on win the game would you win the game look at this you got this world series championship last year nothing good can happen in the white socks he guys he brings the game back back back back back that guy is awesome there's a lot of good hair

that's the all flow team in texas wow yeah so you know curse season i need to see the first a long hair there just for just a question or so can we get there it just yeah I want to see I want to see the picture yeah this guy could play do you think he's ever tried chewing tobacco I was just going to say is his middle name open do you think there's a chance that he has a skull ring worn into the back pocket of his jeans do you think do you think that guy has ever said y'all that is uh business on the sides, party in the back. Do you think that guy has Hank Williams Jr.

Oh. In his truck? He definitely has a truck. I know that. Do you think he's got those, like, bulls, balls or whatever, hanging off the hitch of his truck? Yeah, truck nuts, yeah, for sure.

Do you think that man's ever had a salad? No. I mean, maybe one of those taco salads, but it's actually just crushed up tacos with no... I'll have it blue, air with a baked potato loaded none of that green shit take out its horn and wipe its ass and Texas. I wonder what the acclimatization for him was, you know, fish out of water.

They offered me another hundred grand in Seattle, but I'm a Texas guy. Yeah, we know. We know. That's great. It's been a tough year for the White Sox. Is that it for the White Sox? Yeah, we can't do it anymore. That's real tough.

How about, you know what they say? until Retz put his kids in school, the CFL season hasn't begun yet, right? So your kids just enrolled in school, now the CFL season begins. There's paper. Welcome to it. The West is wide open and we have the Labor Day classic on Monday.

Well, I hope Dave's not using that same philosophy. If he is, it would explain some results. And I'd feel very good about the last half of the year. They're right in the thick of it. BC's lost a couple since Rorke's come back. Sask started 4 and O and they stubbed their toes. They've been screwed over. screwed by the command center.

It's all conspiracy. The league wants to screw their highest revenue team, right? That makes sense. Mace. I was Mace. I was in the rectangular province in July, and I sent Mesa note. I said, these people around here really like you, I don't like it. And he said, yeah, well, things are going well.

I said, that's the problem. You need to be doing this not in Saskatchew. No. Nine team league. You can't have people in Saskatchew. Damn, Durs! It's a lifer. They've had some problems at the command center.

BC stumbling, Winnipeg after a rough start, they're back, and then you got Elks, stamps, first of a back-to-back, Monday 4 p.m. Labor Day Classic.

His brother going... Can be a big one. With that trip that he's doing Chicago, is he doing a Regina loop? No, he's never been... Pats, riders. Pat's Ders. Also, Wisconsin was the universe.

Oh, there you go. Yeah, Badgers. The biggest ranking NCAA, if you're hockey. 17, 16,000? Brad Winchester. Is that right? Oh, yeah.

Wow. Wisco. Pavellski, I believe Wiscoe. Let's move. Other Calgary team that wears red sometimes. Calvary FC in action Friday night under the lights at At Cofield. Five in a row they've won, Dino. They are tied for second.

Remember when they had all those ties? So top of the table. Almost top of the table, Tommy. They're a win away from top of the table, Tommy, potentially as soon as next week. Friday night lights. 5,000 plus last Saturday. They scored in the 91st. Boys are feeling good.

We were at the golf tournaments on Monday. Fellows having some fun out there at Syraco. Terrible day. Beautiful day. Ian Allison, the president, and then read, he ordered 25 degrees no win. Got what he asked for. And you're there.

But he did have to deal with me. And you're there. I had a great job and then we couldn't use it. I was going to get their damn drives in. God damn it. Great time out there. Tip of the cap to the cows.

We'll see you Friday night at Cofield 7.30. I will find you some tickets. 7.30 on Friday. You got to make that song for it. How do the words? What are the words go for it? I bet the calorie is so good. Yeah, yeah.

Top of the table, Tommy. That's a little bit salty, but it's good. It's a little bit salty, but it's good. The kids start chanting it in the crowd and stuff. It's nice. Yeah, it's trucking. I said trucking. Trucking, trucking.

Let's get some dumb stuff. I see Rhett. You must have had a nephew or niece, someone doing gymnastics and they let the parents try. I think once a year they do the parents doing gymnastics. Here we go. So they got the old run-ups. I'm fired by the Olympics, I'm sure. Oh, right.

Near miss. I thought I had it. I just, I. What was with the stall? Well, I got scared. I got scared. I, I, I, I, I, I, like. My second guess.

That compresses the vertebrae. Yeah. You need some of that Jack ankle surgery. I've got one of those tables where I can hang up. Oh, the inversion table. Yeah, you need that. All good. If you don't have one,

you got two of them, his and hers. Each floor, he doesn't have to go up downstairs. He's hanging out like it's bats. Yeah. You dip your head in a cold plunge and your feet are in a grounding mat.

Well, he's got UV lights on the bottom of his seat. He's sunning his anus. Yeah, that's normal stuff over there. Jack's going to love this. I don't know if this is Antonio Brown's idea or what, but this has got to be the CTE League. This is football with no helmets, boys. It's insane.

Oh man playing organized tackle football with no pads on, so we're just going to call this the CTE League. Fow! Nah, but for real, imagine getting cracked like this on Sunday afternoon just to have to be at work at 9 a.m. on Monday. Boy, if you'll stick your ass down, now, imagine putting your case of this shit. Having explained to your son that you just got ran the fuck over by Amazon driver. That's some good ass form right there though. Yeah, can't nobody in their right mind be playing. Oh my God.

A prerequisite to join this league is you got to have a health insurance policy. The waiver these players signed got to be long as fuck. Like, we're going to let you crash outs have a good time out there, but don't you come suing us? Keep it a stack. How much I got to pay you to play in this league? Oh, that's pretty good. Jack? I think we should get in there for a game.

I don't know. We got enough CTE to qualify? Jesus. That's a horrible idea. because no one's making any money. I wonder how they want it. They're proven they want it. Those guys would go to bat for you.

You want a guy in their lineup that's going to go through the wall? That's right. Lomberg could play in that league. Right there. Possby would. Love of the game. Love of the game. We haven't got to any snakes in a while, so let's head down under Dean news item.

Can we have a meeting after the show? I guess it's not started yet. It's okay. Huge piety. Fights man's testicles. He's got the toilet. Well, it's like that's the surgery. Yeah.

I felt something biting me. It was very painful. Dean, this is a fear you had about snakes and get about toilets. I was sure that it was not possible. But we keep writing video evidence. It is possible. Anything is possible. Some blood splatter.

Yeah, that's nut blood. Oh. Nut blood. What does snakes doing down there? They got Munderworld. You know what he's doing? He's like, what did you do that for? Why did you buy meat in the nuts?

Get your talents. my balls. You bit me right in the nuts. Fangs. What's a bad snake? I have, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, Olympics, we all get emotional. You get tied to the flag.

The IOC's got a hell of a racket. They collect billions of dollars. They don't pay the athletes anything. And everyone around the world is glued to their TVs. It's the greatest racket of all time. This, I'm glad, isn't an Olympic sport? Because I'm embarrassed. This guy's Canadian.

Let's head to Norway. It doesn't feel real yet. I'm a little tired, a little sore, and a little jet-legged, but I feel amazing. There were, on average, over 20 different countries that send people to compete. The final day is the best of the best competing for five judges being scored in a figure skating style between 4.0 and 6.0. Two rounds and best score wins. There is a bunch of criteria that the judges are looking for. Technical execution.

Does it actually look like you're playing an instrument? musicality, stage presence, and a little something they like to call airness, our jenisei qua, something that I think you might be able to notice from watching, is a thing that's hard to explain, but it's entertaining to watch. As the champion of 2024, I am guaranteed a spot in 2025. So my goal this year is to try and drum up as much interest and excitement and competitors for Canada to also go to compete in Olu in 2025. That is your Air Guitar World Champion.

He's going to say, sadly from people that aren't watching, the visual is probably important. That guy there looks like a professional air guitar player. Yes, he's true to his trace. His Junicequa. There's too much of that.

Yeah, there's a lot of ginace qua. You can trim his genusayqua there. That's Zootalor. Yeah, it would feel better if he wasn't from Canada. I don't know why. Oh, come on. Anything else, Jack? I feel like that's all I got.

That's all. It's been a report. Brought to you by Village Honda, new, used. All Makes, All Makes, All Models. all budgets, 90 units on site. And the thing is they're part of the Wood Automotive Group. So if there's not the exact vehicle right there on the lot,

sit down with the folks, have yourself a great cup of coffee. And go through the whole database, through all the dealerships within the Wood Automotive Group, they're going to find it. They're going to find it for you. And it's going to be great. I've been over there a bunch lately. I went 50-50 on the two coffee blends, even better. Really?

Couldn't pick, tune to them. They've got the 50 option. That's coffee and leak. Village Honda. to be itchalot com. By the way, this is an off-air conversation. I still call it here.

No disrespect to anybody. But if this is going to be a thing, we need a solution for our coffee, a sitch in the back there. Yeah, we need a machine. We need.

Machine. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Get the guys on. We got a coffee guy. I mean, we, well, I mean, we have a coffee machine. He's going to get us a machine.

He's been talking for two years. I know. Yeah, that's just about to arrive. Which is what I'm... As soon as the construction is done in Marta Loop, it'll be here. Yeah. It's hard because it's hard to get laptops and... Yeah, I think pivot and we'll...

We'll figure it out. You've got to figure it out. I'll send a note right now. No, you don't. I mean, I'm thinking maybe it's another note to a different number or something that has somebody else. It would be disrespectful to a longtime pal of the show. So I'm not going to go there on air with you.

I understand. Okay. Are you all good. I got a coffee maker at home. Percolator? Don't plug it in. Carbriator. Don't plug it in.

Remember the damn? Yeah. Tell them they can't be plugging coffee makers in the studio. Yeah. Remember that? Sorry. That was insane.

Yeah. Oh, people are. I'm sure it's come around. I'm sure. Uh, what? You can't use the plug in the wall. That's an outlet. Let's not be using that.

What about? my cell phone. Can we plug a phone in? Guys, what is this? So what is the outlet for if we can't plug things into it? Is this your living room? You're at work. What are we doing here? Just plugging in

stuff randomly? Hey, I'm sorry. Did you get a permission slip to plug into that plug? Sorry. I'm not sure about the safety. Yeah. Yeah, there could be very, very chaotic ramifications if someone plugged something into that outlet. Security Guard stops yet. Oh, sorry. I can't it's a coffee maker. We're going to have some coffee.

Get nothing by those. Tight ship over there. Sorry. Yeah. Sorry, guys. Big Brain Jay is chiminging in. Is it still two episodes a week? Yeah.

For a little bit. Until it isn't. Two till it isn't. Yeah, when it's not two episodes in a week, we'll be done with two episodes a week. Yeah. So just, and don't mean to be disrespectful, but it is still two a week.

But it's, It's going to ramp up here soon enough. Get a little adventure set up for the next few weeks here. Yeah. You won't tell me. Wink. A little spoiler alert. I don't even know if you call it that.

But earlier this week, Rhett Warner and I had a chance to sit down and do a long form interview. Not long enough. Not long enough. He had to go to the airport because of different things. Truly, we talked for an hour. Oh, how long is it a jack? Hour 40?

hour 20? I think it was short than that. But only an hour 15. Was it? Truly. We did the outskirts of scratch the surface barely. Of the career of the great Martangelona. I actually thought about interrupting you when we were going to say goodbye and say,

let's just come back, right? Part one. This is part one. Yeah. Because we. And you'll see it on the end. The gist of it is he's been involved in a lot of things. He did a lot.

It's like the Kevin Bacon thing, like the degrees of separation. Six degrees of Marty John. Holy shit. The players he's played with? Unreal. Name a Hall of Famer. He's probably played against them or beat them in overtime in the playoffs or something. Traded for them.

Coached him. Oh, yeah. All you flames fans. It wasn't just the Flames run in 2004 where he scored overtime goals. That's right. Goals on the playoffs. Yeah. There's a track record there.

He went to four Stanley Cup finals. Yeesh. I mean, and and could have, it could have been more. Unbelievable career and everybody, oh, Marty Jell and I was the Eliminator. Yeah, he was also in Vancouver for a long time. Real good. A 30 goal guy for the Canucks was there when they went to the cup final.

New York Rangers. Yeah, remember Messier jumping up and down in the ice? Marty was there. Can you ever have too many guys like that on your team? It's impossible. Just heart and soul, hard work, fitness test the S out of Like, just like he talked about that. Oh,

we got to that. Yeah. Again, you were kind of, I was bugging about pumping tires. I thought it was a great visit. Yeah. Uh, with Marty Jelana.

Now that, and that will come out sometime in the next, we'll put it up on the soche. If you're on the soch, keep an eye for you. And we'll talk about it on the show to kind of get you. It's all, it's all on the internet anyway,

right? If you miss it's, well, it's on the YouTube's on wherever you get your podcast. Go download it. But we'll have that coming out. And, Yes, as you said, the wink kind of a thing that might be coming up here in the next couple of weeks.

Yeah. But yeah, the, from your playing days, are you getting excited Labor Day weekend? Oh, yeah. What do you remember? Is it I better get on the bike? Is it? It's fat camp. He sweats cans of tuna and dry salad.

Ugh. Like, I wonder, are you calling up the guys? Hey, have you got any ice? They're calling him. You know what? Now that I think about it, I've lived my whole life that way. So this new phase of red, it hasn't been any different. Like you're back to Kansas tuna.

Right. Like middle August long is the most stressful weekend of my life. And it's because I've caused it. It's a traumatic experience. Whoa, August long, not Labor Day? August long. Oh, really?

Because that's the runway. I'm, yeah, like I've taken all summer off up and August long comes and you're like, who. Yeah, June, July has just been. Ooh. I had lots of time. I don't have any time. I can get back in shape.

Yeah. Yeah. September long, it's too late. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, it is what it is. No, look. Speaking of shape, Marty rolls in here the other day. Still got tree trunks?

Are you still? He's injured. What are you squatting three? 300, 325? Those tree trunks are still massive. He's injured from riding bikes. I did see him walking out of the studio. Slow the F down then, Martin.

I literally looked at him. I said, did you fall biking? He said, yeah, I did. I was in that third Ironman in June. Right. That's the toughest one. They always get you the third one. You know, I was supposed to do four in June, but I could only do three because I kind of twisted my ankle.

I skidded myself up. He was like, as in first, this Kiwi was first in the world. It was clipped me on the way by. Oh, jerk. Yeah. He's 54, Marty Schellena. Going on 31. And did a lot at an early age.

He was a stud. First round pick. Should have been higher in that first round. Jeez. Olympic. And there again, who are you coached by? The guys he's been coached by, played with, played against moments that you will you will immediately remember.

He'll go, he was, he was. Okay. Yeah, I guess he would have been there for that. I remember seeing him in Milwaukee when he just retired. He took on a player development role and nailed him down for an intermission interview when it was that heat playing the admirals. And it was just like, just to talk about his time in Calgary, he lit up. He was always going to be a guy that ended up here.

And they found a role from wherever it is because what you guys just talked about, he's a hockey encyclopedia. He's lived it and breathed at all. There's not a situation where you can't go lean on Marty's experience. He's a worker. He loves it. And kind of like noodles. Who doesn't like them?

Yeah. If you have him in your organization, you think of Nashville, he played there the last year of his career, he was ready to retire. I want to keep you around. What do you want to do? Have you involved still, Martin? What do we do to keep you? Same as me.

I think they hired Kirk Muller that year. Yeah. I think someone hired Kirk Muller out of the national organization. He went from player to moment right onto the bench. And then the next year he should have in Calgary. Gotcha. Yeah. Nashville is one of those things we're going to have to look at.

They've added some players. Yeah, they're, uh, change the fabric of that team. I look at that division. I'm like, ooh, this is, uh, Minnesota is almost, I think it's the last year of the punishment for Souter and Perseudo and You have, you know, obviously Nashville steps in in a big way. Winnipeg at that monster year last year and then the what won the playoffs. Dallas, Colorado, look like contenders.

The whole division, I'm like, St. Louis probably going to be better. Chicago probably going to suck. But I mean, that's, could there be five teams in that division to get in? Yeah. Oh, you know, we've been getting rounds of applause, and I should mention, even though it's not necessarily the Calgary. But congratulations to Casey and our buddies at Greta. They launched the new location in Toronto.

Toronto. Yes. And all I saw on social media was it much like the one here, just banging right out of the gate. I didn't, uh, did I see the Bennett take the cup there? Because I don't imagine Panney was there. He's buddies with Casey. They had a, geez. How do I, Casey, you know us. Why don't we get the invite? Well, I mean, I guess I know why. He was an oiler's honk. And I think it was we were distancing ourselves by design for a while. That'd be how place take the jump. Last time we were there. he had the, was it the bullhorn, whatever you call? And the flames, of course, roll up the oilers in a meaningless game down the stretch. Yeah.

So congrats to Greta. They just keep building upon an amazing idea, which I don't know how you think of it. Let's have a bar, but it's not really a bar, but we're going to have some food. Oh, like a pub food? That kind of. Better though. Kind of like a food truck. Yeah, like street food.

Street food. Okay. And then we'll just put like a bunch of video games and pinball machines. Yeah, but old ones are new ones? No, new ones, like interactive games. But also some of the old classics too. Yeah, okay, good. All that we're doing street food, whatever that is, and there's booze in it.

So a teenage arcade? Good luck with that. Yeah. So is it a pool hall for the kids? No, no, it's, you got to be drinking. Yeah. It'll never work. Locations in Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary, and now Toronto.

Yeah, we wouldn't have come over that one. But that was a big, I know, just in talking to him. And even when we were there earlier this year. Also? Yeah. They were working away. They had the location. It's like that's a big leap.

Oh yeah. That's a big spot. They're King West. That's a. Yeah. It's a significant little foothold they got there. Awesome for Casey. And again, we were there at the beginning.

You're welcome. For those that are, you know, follow along at home. Right. Many, many years ago. Retro and I. the arcade bar street food location that retro and boom built. That's what they call that's how they remember. It's true.

That's the reference point. Have yourselves a fantastic long weekend. What's our plans? I'm going to do some labor. Yeah. On Monday or just the whole weekend? No, just Monday because that's, yeah, that's Lydia. Isn't it you're supposed to not?

Okay, whatever. You do you. Last weekend of summer at the lake, we got 15 people under one roof. Which lake? Windermere. Okay. I'm going to put all away all my outdoor stuff because damn it winter's coming yeah yeah get the winter tires out yeah eval's already started for the quadrant stuff I know and then

I was going to say I was going to the teeth of that when we get back put the garden hose away but we can't use water so there's it's already put it's been put away it had better be put away yeah long ago jack what's uh ooh jack how was you know let's a couple moments with jack yeah sure how's your summer it was excellent yeah relaxing very relaxing How do you feel about two shows a week? Oh, it was great. Yeah. How do you feel about 10?

Because that's coming to you soon. I'll be like to be caught up on your rest. Did you get away? Yeah, I went out to the island, visit my mom, my dad came to town, went to Montana for a couple weekends. Montana.

Nothing makes me happen than a thought of Jack and Montana. Oh, I know what's the best. They actually changed the bulldog. They got rid of the poker table at the back. They added some more seating so you can. Boat. Yeah.

poker player? You can sit at a poker team. I've won a lot of hands at that. I've lost a lot of hands there, but it's still fun. Damn, the river got me again. Uncle Darrell is not happy with Russell Wilson just so. No, really? Just in general or he wants Fields instead.

Just let Fields. What's Rafflesburg are doing? Can you imagine how big he is right now? Huge Ben. Behemoth Ben. Did you hear when Jack's like, let's ride? Like, he's trying to talk yourself into it. He's not ready to ride.

He hates him. That's right. He's pretending. That's right. So I got a ride. Let's go. Okay. We can talk.

Yeah. Let's wrap it up. We'll come back with a jack chart next week. Does that sound? Fantastic. Yeah, that's. You may or may not be live next week. Who knows?

How do you want to do the thing? Oilers suck? That'll do it. See you buddies.
