Oh, hey buddies, welcome to the program. It is Barnburner here on the 19th of September as we get into it. You just never know where we're going to be. You never... Yesterday I'm in my kitchen. Just happened to be in my kitchen. Today, Warner's in his car. Parking a lot.

Happens to be... So is this your... Is this FOMO? You were kind of jealous that I was doing something a little bit different yesterday? Is that what's going on? It was that or failure to pay a bill. Okay. Could be either.

I'm going to go with the latter. Would I be right? It's not my bill. Yeah. I'm not on the invoice. You're not, eh? Who is? The other person?

The woman you live with? Yeah. Oh, I see. Apparently it's not. Again, oddly enough, it's not her fault, but no, it did happen. So is this power, which, to what magnitude of Bill did we not, because it happens, you know? Actually, I don't know.

That would be my interpretation of how things went about. Yeah. Because last night, Internet, no issues. Tickety-boo. Lovely. Had a great day. Yeah. This morning.

So I can see connected to the right. Is it the router or the modem? Yeah, sure. But no internet connection. I'm like, oh, go downstairs and there's a red light. Red is never good. No, never good. And I'm like, I don't know what this means.

And it is under the shovelers name. So she had to make a call. And apparently it's been canceled. Now, shovelers reporting back that canceled without reason or why would she cancel it I guess a weird thing for her to do well it's weird for the company to do as well

just up yeah just kibosh it so I'm kind of like I'm reading between the lines Dean I'm wondering if perhaps something was overlooked a lot of time because I know for us the odd time something will happen with a credit card just have things kind of yeah right and then oh I lost

a credit card or something something happens and then you got a you got a roll with it. You're a bang on there, I would think, because the credit cards expired just recently. And I'm guessing that never updated. Weird that they would just, usually you get a, hey, your, your card isn't working. We tried to process payment. Payment couldn't go through. Let's get on this.

Or you could just shut it down. Because that, you know, in fairness, it's tough to get the warning email when you don't have internet. While the other beauty part about the house we're at, terrible cell service. Oh, okay. So you can't even phone to say, hey, there's a red light here. Like you've got to get in your vehicle, drive away from the house to make the call to talk about what's going on in the base. This is the same setup at the house you were in last year. You couldn't, you could go to your in-laws house and they had cable or TV or that was the phone's package.

That was for the streaming services, which will be another pain in mind. took us when that starts. Yeah, yeah. Because all I'm everything that we have registered is under Canada and you're not allowed to have certain packages of the States compared

to cats. I can't do it. Yeah, can't do it. So I am back in my home studio. You are in your car and our next guest is somewhere in the Nordic region of the

of the globe. CFL hat. Stupid CFL hat. What's happening? Ryan Pinder joining the show from a lovely locale. This is the Mediterranean Dean, not the Baltic or the Balkans or the

Bosnians. No. Mediterranean. It just arrived. My earbuds are dead. I'm sorry. I was going to jump on and say hi. Now I realize that I'm that idiot without my earbuds trying to talk on a show. Yeah. That's okay. You can only own a podcast.

So where exactly are you? We are in Amalfi, which is a tiny little village that's right on the ocean. Beautiful. It's crazy. Very good. 3.0. CFL 3.0. Spreading the word.

CFL. Yeah. So the last we talked to you, I believe was on Friday. You were in Copenhagen and then going over to Sweden. and get us up to speed on the last 72 or so. Not terribly exciting. Just went on a hike with Buddy's family, rode some trains,

and we're going to get spicy again here. We're back into Fiesta mode soon. So for over three days, you went on a hike and rode trains? Let's see. We spoke Friday, which was my Saturday. Yeah, we just finished the boat tour, I think, on Saturday. So yeah, we went to Copenhagen, saw my buddy's family. We went on a big hike

in a national park there and then I went to the beach. I went to some, oh yeah, I do have to tell you about this entirely nude Swedish spa I went to on Monday morning, but everyone was like 80. I have full quota on old saggy Swedish balls and blooms. I don't need any more. Let's go. Details, dude. Come on. Don't need any more. So there's no sense as well. This is part of their culture. You go to the sauna. and everyone's naked. Except the only people that have time to go to a sauna on Monday at 10 a.m.

are retired old people. You've got to time it better. It's like if an old folks home was mandatory naked, and I'm like, what have I done? A.m. spa service is not ideal.

No. And I was like, oh, I'll just do this on the way. Everyone says you've got to do it. So I'll do this. Then I'll just, I'll zip back to Denmark right after. And, yeah,

you go swim in the ocean. you go to a steam room, you go to an infrared room, you go to a dry sauna, and all the dudes are on one side of, they have their own pool and where you swim. But all the steam rooms and sauna is like it's men and women. So if I ever need a seven-year-old Swedish babe, I know the place, guys.

If you, you let me know, I got the hot. Were you able to keep your mouth shut or did you full pender everybody? No one's speaking English. It's all Swedish people. Oh, of course, they do know how to speak it, but no one was speaking English. It's like, I'm a naked guy from the other side of the road. I'll need to start conversations here. I'm just going to sit back.

Hey, what's up? Well, I wasn't curious if you could speak the language. I was going to ask, were you able to keep from getting a rod in there with all the old birds? I was really hoping that'd be a problem because of how excited a little bit. There was not a lot of... Whoa, whoa, whoa, big boy. Whoa, whoa. Not how we operate over here.

Not the old... Meanwhile, the old birds must have been happy. You were there. Hey, they must have been excited to see you. Not really. A beautiful flower amongst the field of old saggy thorns. A lot of Swedish meatball jokes and references are coming in on the chat right now. There's a lot of Swedish meatballs.

So that's good, yeah. So has your... Weird how the old business is the same answer. Yeah. It is a thing, though, eh? The old testes, they start to droop. It's a deal. Gravity's a bitch for the old boys in the end, I think.

Booms and balls, they start going six feet under sooner. They just, they're making their way. They know where they're going. Yeah, splashing in the toilet when you're going to the bathroom. It's no good. It is no good. I can't believe you. I went on a hike and on some trains.

That's, so again, now keep thinking. because we almost didn't get the spa story. No, I was just ready to say hi. And then I'm like, oh, right. Yeah, the thing I'm trying to forget, that thing. So that was, sorry, Saturday, Sunday, I guess we're kind of. That was yesterday morning and then last night in Copenhagen and then flew here to Rome and then a fast train and a boat. So we went plane train boat today to get to here.

Just got here. Gotcha. Uh, Red didn't pay his internet bill. I can get it for free. Yeah, I believe that. I can get it for free in this parking lot outside the coffee shop. So I've been to work from here. I did see in the chat, there were some IT issues, which is never a good sign at

Rhett's head. Yeah, it's, hey, but we're new at this thing. We're just kind of getting started. The internet's, uh, the internet's new thing. So when does your wife show up? we met in Rome today at noon at the airport. She came in from Calgary. I came in from Copenhagen and then we rode the train

and the boat to get here with a couple other pals that are at the wedding. So we are here. It is on. You kicked the old birds from the spa out of your hotel room. Take your old, take your moldy knickers and get out of here. My wife's going to be here any minute. Throw those over your shoulder and get out of here. Yeah.

Could you get the old person, out of your room in time? Crack a window. What are you going to, what are you going to drink over there? Are you going to be a wine guy? Are you going to? You have to do wine because it's the best wine in the world probably. You're right here.

But they also had apparel in the welcome package, wine, apparel. And so that's, April Sprits is a drink. That would make sense. But I mean, yes, this is a trick question. The answer is yes. Like, what am I saying no to at this point? I gotta think that they don't have a lot of brew pubs. No, but we've had a few peronis already on the boat,

so we got a good start to the day here. And we're a fan of the train travel? The fast train's the move. You definitely want to make sure you're not stopping at every town on the way. We had one stop, two hours to get here. The ones that stop everywhere, like five. So you got to make sure you know what you're doing, right? I like the trains.

They're good. Yeah, it is cool. It's a good way to travel. You could get a little work done. You can get on the internet. You can an awful look where you're going. It's way better than driving. So what's the, what's the weather like there in mid-Sept?

It's warm. It's probably 25, 26, and we're at dinner time. Maybe a little cooler now, maybe 23. But we met a pal who had the massive sweat so much where it was like the dry part of his shirt stood out. It was like that's the dry part. Everything else is softing. You don't want to be a sweater over there and that kind of weather. It's tough on you.

Well, I'm not going to what July, August would be. My God. Yeah, like it's September and it's hot. People go over there in the summer when it's smoking hot. They don't realize not everywhere has AC. Yes. This is the right time right there. The major.

The major is on the trip. old major swaths good day major awfully early to be seeing you is it not it's not even noon ah so you're going to be getting spicy which uh to everybody else means intolerable so you're getting into the sauce

and we'll see full pinder is uh I had to make his appearance yeah yeah I went three hours without talking at that spa so I feel like I've got a deficit to get rid of here I gotta really unload on people Yeah, well, it's tough to talk when you have stuff in your mouth. Try and not to laugh here. Okay.

That's all right. That's all right. Well, it's good to see that you're surviving. A lot of people are missing you. The chat, it's full of when's Pinderback? Please, when is Pinderback? We must be. Yeah, it's tough. But we look forward to getting you back. So when, we know you'll be back in the show next week. but how many more days of this excursion do you got? I fly back Sunday, so I'll be a bag of dicks on Monday. All good.

This is how it goes. He goes on holiday, comes back, and then you'll be sick next week. Yes. So that's good, too. You can't even see, you can't even deny it. Yeah. All right. Beat it.

Good to see you. See you guys. Good cooking show, I was told. People talking about it. Love that angle. See you later. See you. How was the chili?

You know what? I didn't even get any of it. What? Because here's, it was one of, that's why I had to. You didn't taste it? Don't give me that shit. Dude, here's, here's what it is. Okay.

I had to make the chili and then be out the door. I had to go pick up my daughter from school because then she had to get to her ringette practice. And then after ringette, it was straight to the event kind of a thing. So when I left at whatever time it was, two in the afternoon, it was coming up to temperature and stuff. And I kind of gave it a, you know what it's like. You give it kind of a quick taste. Like, well, I guess maybe a little more salt, maybe a little more. It doesn't even resemble the final product at that.

Yeah. So you don't really have any gauge. And it was my wife was like, I'll pick up the stuff here at the house and I'll meet you at the place. So we showed up and it was three quarters gone. People were very happy with it. So I guess it was okay. But yeah, and then I never. had a bowl of it.

You went without, did you have any chili last night yesterday? I had zero chili yesterday. Why is that? Well, again, I was preparing it. Yeah, but you were there at the event and you didn't try anyone else. Wasn't there a bunch of it? We were late getting there and there was kind of a, we were there for a reason. There was a thing going on. So by the time,

it started about six. We got there at about 7.30. We got there late. So it was okay, you know, Dean's here and my daughter. So, okay, we can start now. So then it was, okay, everybody coming here and they did the thing. And by the time that was done, it was late and it was time to go. So, yeah, I never, I probably could have, but I didn't, I didn't. A success either way. I bet.

But it's unnerving. You're a little nervous when you go in. You're like Frank Costanza. Is that, worried something goes wrong. You don't want to be responsible. I know, yeah. But, no, it was, there were two chilies there. And I don't want to say where the other one was from.

It was from a establishment that sells food. And they had some chili donated. And one was a clear winner. I hate bragging. People that brag, though, right? I hate that shit. Do you ever make the fresh buns to go with the chili? Oh, yeah.

That's heaven. Because the chili is the thing where you're not using the oven so you can make the buns. Sometimes if you're doing like a turkey or you're roasting something. You can't. You need the double oven then. Yeah. You can time it correctly because once the buns have risen and they're ready to go, it doesn't take long. I think it's like 15 minutes, 12 minutes, something like that to make the buns.

But no, no fresh buns yesterday. You've never had my sweet buns. Never had any. You've never had your hands on my buns. I never enjoyed putting my hands on those buns. And I know you want to. Yes, I've been talking about it for years. I want to butter them up.

You've wanted to taste my buns. Oh, someday, retro. Maybe when I come to Buffalo, maybe I'll make you some buns. For the Monday nighter. It's different, though. Altitude affects the baking. I bet it does. Yeah, I know it does for sure.

And then you got your water. Give it a little bit of a different taste. What's the water like in, Not the best. No. Yeah. Toxic, maybe. I got you.

So do you anticipate for tomorrow having internet or is there any way of knowing? It might be on now, but I waited as long as possible and sprinted out the door. It wasn't working at that point. And I got text. Is it on yet? And I'm like, well, couldn't do it. Yeah. It's possible.

It's back on now. I'm expecting it will be. I'm expecting it will. I'm thinking it's a. It feels like it's one of those things, right? It's not like dudes got to come out and hook it up. Unless they're really trying to screw you over and show you. Well, you know, it was disconnected.

So we've got to come out and pretend to do something. That's a service call. So we've got to charge you for that. How do you feel about, because for the longest time, it was, you know, cord cutting. We're getting rid of cable. Everybody's getting going digital, going wireless. And now you need to subscribe. You're spending money again.

I hate it. To have all of this stuff. And it's almost, it's become more of an issue to get everything that you want because you can't just get it all in under one roof kind of a thing. I got to get my NFL red zone here and I got to get my NHL hockey here. And then I got Netflix and you want HBO. Well, you got to have Crave or whatever it is. Paramount.

You want to watch. Yeah, you want to watch Yellowstone. Well, now you need Paramount. you can't get it on prime or whatever the hell it is. It's become unaffordable and quite inconvenient. If you were way ahead of your times and did that in like 2005 to 2020, you probably saved a few bucks. Now it's just a shit show again.

It is. It's way worse. Like, give me one package, please. I'm done with this. And I worry about someone like you because you're a guy who I think famously years ago found out that you were paying for a cell phone that you had used in about five or six years like every month you were being billed for an old cell phone like i worry about you having hey why are we we've subscribed to amc what is that for well that was for breaking

bad breaking bad was done nine years ago it's over we've been paying monthly for amc so that we could watch breaking bad in 2013 um i worry about you yeah i worry about you and your subscription i and i actually wonder, the problem is, can I get the flames games? Because if I just do a local, like a Verizon or something like that TV package, I would be in on all the football stuff. And there would be some hockey stuff, but I don't know if I'd get the actual flames games. So I have to find a way of getting the NHL package or whatever it is,

because I don't think I can get the sports games. sports net package down here because it's Canadian, America. You would probably have to go for the full center ice package, which would give you access to all the games. Mm-hmm. Which I see.

Do you get blacked out on for Buffalo games? I get, because they black out stuff for Buffalo games. And even last year, when I had an ESPN Plus package, there were certain games. No, not giving it to you.

I remember a few of the Flames games. I'm sitting down with my popcorn. Can't get it. What? And it was because, and it was because they were playing local teams with a certain radius of Buffalo. Right. Gotcha.

There's Ryan Pike with a Pike bomb. Pike, Pike, Pike bomb. ESPN Plus is the way to go. You just heard what I said, Pike. They will still, the odd game won't be on there. Yeah. So I don't know. I would think if you want.

What about the YouTube's? I'm sure you could find some, but here's the thing. I think if you were technically savvy or internet savvy, you'd be able to probably find a way to Jimmy that. I don't even think you have to, but they got the YouTube TV. I know that they have all the football. I think you can get the football package. Yeah, and you know what?

They've been promoting that a lot. You even see on the NFL network and Good Morning Football. They're talking about YouTube TV. Yeah, I don't know. Mr. Public. I don't know if I can do the pirate, pirated TV anymore, and mostly because my father did it when I was playing pro for the first five years and meeting in the back alley to have the guy fix your cards.

Yeah. Those were good days, though. Remember that? Oh, man, it sucked when your card would go down, though. Free TV, and you knew damn well every time there was a big UFC or boxing or something. Shit. Yeah, it's going to crash. No.

five minutes before damn it call you everybody hey my card went yeah I know everybody's cards down I should have a I should have a fix

in about two days I'll have a code God damn it but it was great when you get your card all slide it into the card reader the entire globe

at your disposal so good I mean some people would have done that I never would have done that I don't believe in that but I'm too you know that's what it is

I know people can do it. I'm sure you can't do it. I'm too lazy and stupid to do it now. And old. I'm too old lazy and stupid to do it, whereas I'll just pay for it. I love Red Zone too much on Sundays to roll the dice. Last year, last year, TSN had it as part of their thing. And now you have to pay extra for it. And I was looking at the TSN Plus, here's how you can get Red Zone,

plus all this other stuff. And I got looking at it. I don't want to watch any of that shit. Any of that other, darts? Great. No, I don't need to do that. So I went with DeZone,

because at least they've got, essentially, all the football games, plus Red Zone, plus NFL Network, and some other stuff. So I'm DeZone for my football. I go with,

because you have to. SportsNet. Although they've changed it. Now, it was from SportsNet now to SportsNet Plus. There's TSN Plus. God. That's just it.

I just want to turn the TV on now. nowadays and let's let's go here yeah because even with the NFL stuff aren't some of them now exclusive to some of those big companies yeah probably prime and and disney like yeah it's not ideal and so that's the other thing so then you have that subscription just to watch that one night of tv now who was it that that has the soccer is it Apple? Yes, Apple. And it's been huge with Macy coming over here.

Yeah. They said it's just been crazy, hey? Yeah. Yeah. They're saying here, DeZone pricing went to an insane cost. I mean, yeah, it's, I guess 20 bucks a month.

And the TSN Plus is quite a bit, I guess half that at least. But I watch NFL network. Every day I've got it on in the morning to watch good morning football and other things. So I just, I don't know, I went for it. But it's a, you know what it is? It's a kick in the keister is what it is. So we're going to end up spending more.

All this saving so much money from gas and your cable. And now you're probably worse off in the end. Yeah, 100% worse off. And you've got to juggle all that shit. That's right. And cancel it when you're not watching it all summer and then forget. Yeah. You want to know something worse?

Going to a Swedish spa. A bunch of old naked birds. Oh, those ladies would be so excited to see him stroll in. It's like 80 year old, 85 year old, 80 year old, what is this strapping young? He's very European. Look at all his hair. How spry. He's so hairy.

Delicious. We got, we got dinged on a, on a face. credit card. You know what, it's happened to us a couple times in the last month, month and a half, where every month, we were getting charged for DeZone. It's like DeZone, DeZone, DeZone, DeZone, whatever it was. I was like, fuck, I canceled that in as soon as the NFL season was done, because I wasn't going to use. So then I got looking into it, and I actually, going back a long time ago, I actually had a gratis, DeZone. Yes, I know we did. I did. I did. do. That was delightful. So then I start, I'm like, why am I getting charged for this? I canceled it. So in

the end, I fucked myself because I disconnected from my free one. But left the other. But it was actually, it was a, we were getting scammed on a credit card charged. Somehow they had to zone. They knew that we would maybe just kind of skip right past it. So we found out that we've been getting, yeah, we've been losing 20 bucks a month for quite some time thinking that this was a charge and then lost my free to zone. So now I'm, now I'm really out because now I'm paying for it. I love it. Sorry, I'm giggling because the reason I'm in my truck is because at this stupid coffee

shop I went to, to get internet, they're open. You can get a coffee in a drive-thru. Yeah. But they'll be damned if they're letting you come into store. About 10 people have walked up. And every time they're like, walk up. Really, eh? It's stupid.

There must be something going on in there. No, it's not. You can go through the drive-through. They've got staff. Like, there's staff, but no customers inside. Exactly. Exactly. Well, you've got to do some of the reconnaissance works now.

They want to have a union for these coffee shops and all that stuff. Oh, boy. Rick, go through the drive-thru and ask why you can't go in. I might have a buzz. Hang on. got a buzz? Not yet. On the pre-show, we had Rhett testing his thing, and there was an awful hum.

It was that plate in your head. What kind of coffee should I get? What do Americans drink? I don't know. I asked the shoveler about the pumpkin spice bullshit yesterday. She's like, I'm not into that stuff. Well, yeah, that's what you got to get then. I could try it.

We're going to about 10 minutes. Pumpkin spice. Lati or something. Yeah, Macy. Linal meat, Macy and a pumpkin spice laddie. Joe Macy and a stiff right to the kidneys. Tough bastard. Outdoor. Dental.

Go and get into it. We've been talking about it for a long time. Pinder went for his first. When he gets back, he'll be going for his second treatment. Two 15-minute treatments for what? For your snoring. Snoring treatments. Which is, it's amazing.

got the Soleil Laser, which is used primarily for the dentistry, no needles, no drills, no stress. Dr. J. Patel, huge investment into this state-of-the-art cutting-edge laser. And somehow along the way, they determined that this could also be used on the soft palate in your mouth, which would then reduce or even eliminate in a lot of cases. You're snoring. Two 15-minute treatments. You go for one. You come back at, obviously, a later time, get another treatment done and it increases that tension, all that, you know, flabb, the flabbiness in the back of your throat is gone. Non-surgical pain free and everyone around you, you'll be feeling better, you'll have better sleep, you'll be fresher, more awake.

Person you live with doesn't hate you. They'll be so much happier having you alongside them for once, at least a little bit, maybe not completely happy, but at least somewhat. But it's truly one of those things that could be life altering for you. Where's the harm in checking it out? Outdoor.dental is the website. Go by, see Dr. Jay, get in there, and see why the Solia Laser is the number. It's the best in the business. There's nothing like it. I think there's two in the city of Calgary, and that's it, and he has one of them. And he's a great guy. Go and see Dr. J at Outdoor Dental and find out for yourself. And of course, they've got the dental treatment as well. They use, I give him credit.

You know, it's when to embrace the technology and that it isn't cheap. And he's gone all in. He's gone with the, yeah, I know your brother. You're telling me, I'm outside of stupid coffee shop trying to get internet. But they've also, they've done a lot with 3D printing. There's a lot of the stuff that they do right in the clinic themselves for a dental implants and making crowns and all that sort of stuff. So if you want the best, go to the best. Outdoor.com. Dental is the website, as I say, once again.

A little bit later on, we'll do this day. Kind of of of this day in flames history. Trust me, there's not much of the end of the report. We'll look at our point spread picks, our Betway picks from, I guess, week number two, now that Monday night football is over. But we'll do the update here in a moment. It was this day, it's not in flames history, but Eric Lindross played his first NHL game on this date for the Philadelphia Flyers. Because remember drafted by Quebec said, I'm not going, gets traded to Philadelphia.

His first preseason game was on September 19th against Quebec. He had a goal and an assist in that match. So the big E made his NHL in, you know, preseason, but his first NHL game was on this day. what can you tell me take me back to when the first time was he saw big e 1992 september 19th my thoughts on big e yeah i was scared of him he was a monster he went into philly and had to play the legion the legion of doom and he enjoyed like crushing you no good yeah no good at all what was michael rhenberg's role there because obviously john i mean mclean look McLear was a big, a big strong dude.

And obviously Lindrosse was Lindrosse. Could anybody have done what Renberg did? Or it was, it was in the right place at the right time. He was, but he fit the, I mean, all those lines that become epic kind of legendary lines, you have to be able to do the job. And he was still a big beast. Like it's not like he was maybe, well, no one was small in those days. He was good, though.

Right? Yeah. I think the other thing is, not to take an unnecessary shot at a guy like Anson Carter, you have to recognize your spot, right? Yeah. Like you kind of recognize, hey, I'm riding shotgun with two real,

real good hockey players. I'm just going to ride this out for as long as possible. Yeah. The Anson Carter reference goes back to our radio days when Anson was on the morning show and just kind of, you know, reminiscing. It was Ewan Wox who were doing that interview that day. And he brought up playing with the Sadiens, which is kind of what you're referencing. And he had made the gall of the Vancouver brass at the time.

There was contracts to be done. They had the whole lot. Everybody was up for a new contract. And they, for whatever reason, the Kudak's put way more impetus in getting the Sadiens locked up instead of saying, Hey, Ace over here needs a contract too. Like, those two guys are, you'll get those deals done. What about, what about Ace? Maybe, maybe they made the right call.

I think he got bent out of joint a little bit, right? Yeah. And he buggered off, didn't he? Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, I feel like that's, that was a good spot to be, Ace. It was a good spot to play. Yeah.

Yeah, it, uh, now, hey, maybe. Maybe the Cedines aren't Hall of Famers without Ansick card. Or maybe they are. Lindrosse, who's not a Hall of Famer? These idiots doing the coffee shop, like, holy slow. Lindross had a, his rookie year for the Flyers, 41 goals, 75 points, 147 penalty minutes in 61 games. So 41 goals, 75 points in 61 games, finished fourth in Calder voting. Timu Salani won the Calder because he had 76 goals that year.

Boston Bruins forward Joe Juno and Toronto Maple Leaf goalie Felix Potvan finished two and three. Oh, he had Lindra. Your buddy Joe June. Fresh off of Team Canada. What the hell did Joe Juno do in 1992 that would have had him finishing ahead of Lindros? 1992. Is he in Washington? Where was he?

91, 92, Boston played 14 games, had 19 points. What the fuck? I almost don't believe that can be accurate. And of course, Potfan played for the Leafs. When you play for the Leafs, you're great. Even Lindross. He was good that year, though, wasn't he? Who, Pot Van?

Yeah. Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, that would have been one of their big years that they went, because we were talking about it with Pind last week, I think, talking about the Gilmore trade and all that sort of thing. So, although it was it, or was it 93? Spring of 93? Anyway, Biggie made his debut.

But I remember you said, Cam Neely and Eric Lindross, just put, P would come out. Change. It was change quick. Don't let the puck in our end. If it went near the goalie at all, please cover it. Yeah, my edge. my edge is like I get my skate sharpened yeah take my stick here

are you close to order it off yeah great order red is in the so remember you got to ask what the age with the uh why can't I come in and and hook me up or maybe order how do you because you don't want them to spit in it I'm going to do it at the window

I'm going to ask so smart so smart dude So good. No. But the service thing, I have scratchy service now. Can I get a Grande Pike, please? You were getting a pumpkin spice. And it's all pumpkin spice latte.

Nope, that's it. Thank you. You see how much that is? No. 892. Well, you ordered two. Yeah, you ordered two coffees. You should have just got the...

Oh, you. The pea spice. You know what I like there? You know what I like there? And I don't know, it strikes me as an old guy thing. It is that you do the window lean to talk into the speaker. Like if you just kind of went from there. I could, yeah, hi.

Could I go? Can you hear me? Ha! We'll do the Pinder report. There is a mass. I don't know if you can hear me because I keep cutting out, but there's a massive dog over here, massive. Well, you love dogs, eh?

What it is. Big dog fan. Sorry, I catch you out. No, you're good. No, I'm just kind of, uh, what kind of a dog is it? Pinda report? Well, I was going to do the read. I don't know.

But its head is like a huge mass of cranium. Really, eh? It's like that Turner and Hooch dog. What's that? Uh, that wasn't a, that wasn't a bulldog, was it? It was at a, Flash was a Basset Hound from Dukes of Hazard. Bull Mastiff? Yeah, maybe a bull Mastiff, but no, Bull Mastiff is big.

Hooch was a little, he was stout. I got to Google. No, I think it's a Mastiff. Huch, what your neighbor makes in his garage. Oh, Turner and Hooch dog. He was a dog de Bordeaux French Mastiff. He had a stunt double named Igor.

His real name was Beasley. Igor? Yeah. No. No, Igor was the stunt double. Oh, I get you on, Hooch was a big dude. Oh, he's a good boy. Oh, he's such a boy.

What a boy? Oh. Why do you hate dogs? I hate dog owners. What the dogs be? Let's dogs run. I don't hate dogs. I just don't want to own one.

Do you see how my life operates? Like, I need to add. No, you're right. It's the big winner is the dog in all of it. Did I tell you I've got pets in the house now? No. What? Fish.

from the fair. Fish from the fair. Idiots. What kind of fish? Just goldfish? Or like a goldfishy shit? Yeah. Is it like a Nemo?

Kids were at the fair tossing rings or whatever the hell they do. Yeah. Here's a bag with a fish in it. What the? In the... Like those ladies in the shovel with Pinder doing the ring toss.

Shoveler goes all in. She's got the percolator in there and the filter and the new aquarium. I'm like, these things are going to last for seven hours. Yeah. And guess what? What? They did. Oh, no.

But because she had committed the funding to the sustainability of these things, we had to go back and get more. You got to go get more for sure, yeah. Your pot committed once you've got the bowl or the aquarium and the, the, whatever, like you say, the percolator. What is it? It's the air vent? Where's Kron? We've got to get Kron on here. To tell us about frigging.

Yeah, I need some advice. I need some advice. We should have Kron on. David asking, how is Rett's dog doing anyway? He's, I don't want to say it. He's the friggin best. He's a good boy. Oh, he's awesome.

Don't tell your kids. No, he's, uh, we've got, he's kind of now learned that humans and men aren't just looking to kick him down the stairs. So he's really kind of, yeah, he's come around. He's very trusting now. Um, but he's a good boy. Yeah, he is a good boy. So don't forget to ask about why people can't go into the coffee shop.

I'll ask. Yeah. So you do. I got to get my app, so I get my points. Right. What's on the Pinder Report? For Village Honda? Yeah.

and are you ready for some preseason the first game is against Vancouver on Sunday his internet's gone right look is that oh man we're so close no he's there

put him back in put him on the other oh there you go he's got a new one There. Get him out of there. Keep talking. The wheels on the bus. Go round and round.

Round and round. Round and round. Vancouver. Preseason game on Sunday. The 24th. On the 25th. They've got a little... Just out of curiosity.

How come you don't let people in? So I could apply and get a job pretty easy? I could apply and get a job pretty easy. Awesome. Thank you. You too. It's a staffing issue. What did I say?

It's a bullshit excuse. If you're staffed enough to make the coffee, feel like, oh, now I spilled everywhere, Dean. This is not going to go well. Keep going. Well, I don't know why you went and ordered coffee anyway.

Go get coffee. Go up there and ask. So anyway, a whole bunch of preseason games. They got eight, They go, what, seven, eight of them? God, it's so many. It's so many. And they start against Vancouver on Sunday.

That's the scoop. That is the scoop. So now in week of training camp, when you're just days from reporting and fitness tests, like the day before or whatever, what was the most comfortable and prepared you ever felt for fitness testing? And what was the, oh shit, this is going to be bad? The one time here in Buffalo,

while I was naive one year in Florida and didn't do well and didn't skate until training camp so I knew that was going to be something. One year I'd trained so, so very little while I was playing in Buffalo that I did, I doubled down on that, what was that orange energy drink?

Like it was like an agent orange or something like that And it was like your heart. I was so wound up by that stuff that I couldn't. Because you need your heart rate to come down at some point, right? And I couldn't, it would not come down. I'm on the bike. And I am peaking just constantly. I don't have to move.

And I'm at 180, 200 beats a minute. This was awful. And Doug McKenney was a trainer here. And he'd watched me for the last 10 days running for. hours you're after skating. I was so overweight. Yeah. But there were a couple years I worked

out hard. Felt great. My last year, I could have done anything. Best shape ever. Didn't get a game in. You were, that's not bullshit, right? You were in great shape. Unbelievable shape. Yeah. Friggin'

Canaan. Hey, Mike. Why do you hate Red? Oh, well. Do you know what happened? It was kind of one of those things you forget. COVID was not that long ago and how our lives were all thrown into the friggin blender. September 19th, 2020. Do you know what happened today?

Game one of the Stanley Cup final. Oh, Jesus. Isn't that something? I did enjoy. I did enjoy sitting on my deck watching that. I don't have a whole lot of. recall and maybe it's a COVID thing or whatever. But I had to kind of tell us, so when did the next season start? So I guess we had because it went in waves and all that sort of shit. Yeah, game one

of the of the final between Dallas and Tampa Bay, September 19th, 2020 in front of no one at Rogers, whatever it is in Edmonton. So there you go. People in our chat and just you see a lot on When are the flames going to announce a captain? What are the flames doing? We're right there. I don't know if you do it before camp. I don't know if you do it once you make your team. Fans are very interested in knowing who the captain of this team is going to be.

Ryan Husk and Craig, Craig Conroy have both said that there's going to be a captain. So I would think within the next two weeks or so, you're going to find out who the captain is. Eric Francis had kind of the, not even a report, but he talked about it. It feels like it's odds-on favorite would be Rasmus Anderson. We've talked about Rasmus. Drafted player. Came up through, did it, you know, came up through the ranks,

played in the HL, played for this coach in the HL, came to the NHL, has been, has proven to be a very, a very solid and legit top four NHL defenseman. He's got my vote. But, I mean, if they put it on Wigger,

I don't know that I'd kick and scream. Not to make a big deal of it, But it's funny that we were talking about kids hockey. Yesterday was some coaches, and they were talking about captains and stuff. And they're like, well, it's weird if we pick it. And the players don't. Yeah.

Still feel that way. I wonder, though, if they would have to. Don't make excuses for me, please. No, but here's what I'm saying. I think that Huska, Craig, we know those guys. they're not, they're going to talk to the players, right? They're going to canvas the players. They may do a, because I know sometimes you'll see that a coach or whoever will announce a captain.

And as they're doing it, it'll be this guy was a unanimous pick on all the players' ballots or whatever kind of a thing. Well, there you go. They did a ballot. Well, I wonder if you did. The players picked the coach and the GM announced it. They said they were picking. So maybe it's in the verbiage, but. there's a difference between you saying,

hey, you get to be the captain, and the player's going, he's our captain. Well, you know what? It'll probably happen now. It's because I agree. I think that the players should definitely have that say. Maybe that's how they'll do it now. I can't wait for the,

I can't wait for them to announce it and the other guys to go, well, I wouldn't have picked him. What? Why did he get it? No, that's a poor choice. We should reconsider. Because you know, that's going to happen.

Yeah. Well, that guy's not. a captain just because you put a C on his chest doesn't make him a captain. I couldn't disagree more heartily with this choice. So what do you think of the captain? I think he's terrible. What went wrong this year?

Well, it started right from day one when they named the captain. Okay, here's a question. Whose nose has bent out of a joint when they named the captain? Again, it won't be public. Obviously, they won't

come out and say it, but I'm going to start with because it's the second time you've brought it up today, the bent out of joint, which is kind of in between bent out of shape and nose out of joint. But either way, well, Backland's going to be sour,

but you want to sign an extension, you're probably the captain of the team. He's come out and said, I would like to be captain of the flames. Weiger also, and what are guys going to say? I always deferred, kind of default to this. When you're asked, would you look, what do you think?

Would that be something that would you be proud to be the captain? Duh. Yeah. Yes, I would love to be captain. But with Backland, I do feel because he's been here for a long time, that there would be some level of disappointment, even though he probably realizes that they can't give it to him if he's not, if he's could have been gone in 40 games with a trader at the end of the season. I don't know. Outside of that.

Uigher's been here for a year. I don't know how you can... I'm... Whatever. I'm curious why the flames... Because it feels like there are a lot of Flames fans curious about this. They really are, yeah. And wound up about it.

And I'm like, why the hell does it matter? What do you care? Do you think that that's what held the back last year? Well, you know what it is? When you win... Look at this. I should show you the lady. She's going to snap.

She's got a kid out of their car. Come on, go, go, go, go on. Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it. I can't. That one there? She's mad. She took the time to get her kid out of her car. Oh, she went to go in?

Yeah, tried to take it in. I feel for that lady. What the hell's around her? Why, wouldn't I, lot of son. And then the lady from workser is walking out, locking the door behind her. Yeah. Anyway, I don't know why they're excited to what it can.

You should do? You should join forces with and be like, yeah, I know, right? This. of place. I'm with you. I just spent $8 on two coffees. They won't even let me go in for a shit.

Or that's what you ask. It's like, did you have to, did you have, do you need to date? I should have said, well, then can I get some TP? Can I, uh, thank you for the two. Can I also get an extra glass because I really need to pee. Yeah. Glass and a roll of TP. Yeah.

Some TP would be great. Uh, but yeah, people want to know. as I would say, when you win, it's like, oh, yeah, they did it without a captain. That's great. Oh, it's good leaders in the room. You don't need one. But then when the team doesn't play well, well, who's the captain? Who's the leader of this team?

There's no leadership on this team. Yes, I'm going to blame. That's, you're going to have that. That's pretty much it. Yeah. Yeah. No one to blame. Do you watch any football last night?

I watched some. I'm old. I'm really old. I don't know how many times I've sat down to watch something. in this new house and just head bobbing out you're old

and you know what there's something I find with Monday night football it's almost it's so soothing it's just like oh there's football it's like the master's music yes

it's like oh man I love this Monday night football so good and then but also you are a victim of living in that Eastern time zone that is true as well that is true as well

football games are starting at 8, 9,000 o'clock at night yeah at 10.30 it's hard to yeah somebody's asking do you have a carbon monoxide detector in your house this new house i mean every time i sit down to watch tv or do anything i'm falling asleep yeah could be that thanks for falling apart could be uh tony jones junior ran for two touchdowns the saints beat the carolina panthers 20 to 17 improving a two and o for the first time since 13. Jamal Williams got hurt in this game. Jones late first half came in, ran for 34 yards at 12 carries. Ooh, look out. Saints defense did the rest. Bryce Young, 153 yards passing in his home debut.

Meanwhile, in the other matchup, T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith combined for a scoop and score midway through the fourth quarter. Pittsburgh pulled out an improbable 26. 22 win over Cleveland. Somewhere Jack is rejoicing and giving us the middle fingers. I thought there'd be more arrogance coming out of him. I guess I'm not in the same room, but... No, he hasn't said a whole lot, but he also, I think he realizes, like, well... I wasn't that impressed, I'll be honest. Yeah.

Look, the defense was, right? Lights out. T.J. Watt? Holy shit. Their offense is so bad. Mac I'm not going to do it today but no

well no you need to be waiting for you need that 24 hour rule they just don't they just think the defense out scored the offense

they can't get first downs they can't run the ball Naji Harris looks like he's going to shit his pants every time he runs like I don't know what's going on with him like scared shit his pants or like

no he just like he looks so slow like I don't know like when yeah he looks like he's going to shit his pants when he runs. Go watch the highlights. I've had too much lactose.

It's just, I don't know. I'm a little bit worried about Pickett, but I'll tell you what. Canada needs to go first. This is a far cry from like under two weeks ago. Oh man. Hey? Wow. A one-in-one squad and the towel is about to be tossed in. You know, Jack, sometimes it's not about

it's about how you can win when you're not playing your best. That's been the story for years though. Like every season they roll out the shitty offense and their defense saves them and they win these ugly games and they finish like nine and eight. Like this was supposed to be the year

where their offense turns it around and they have a Super Bowl contender. I honestly thought. Maybe I was deluded. Why would they have a Super Bowl contender with a second year quarterback? who really didn't do a whole lot in year one. I think a lot of people expected him to take big this year.

And I know the preseason, I mean, yeah, looking back, that was stupid to think, you know, they looked really good in the priest's, but I don't know. I didn't, it was, like, it looks like he's taking a step back almost, which is very alarm. Well, truly, what are his receivers? Deont Johnson is injured. And even at his best, he got a big target share, but he's never, he's not an elite receiver. Pickens is in year too. Yeah.

Alan Robinson. I mean, they're receiving core is not the greatest. No, it's not. And Naji is a serviceable middle of the pack. Like, where would Naji Harris rank?

Another person went to the door. Hey. Four people. I saw that. Like, where's Noggi Harris rank in, in NFL running backs? Top third?

Don't think so. No. right like he's not a top 10 running back so like maybe you need to look in the mirror you need to look at get out of your Steelers jammies get up and go take a look long hard look in the mirror but like look what the Rams did against the Niners like they could move the ball down the field it's all coaching

I honestly think like you couldn't name a player on the Rams offense a week ago besides Stafford that's a good point coaching does matter in the NFL unless you were one of the people who picked up Pooka Nakua on the waiver wire. Yeah, Pookinacuat well. Anyway, congrats on the win, Jack. Glad to see you really loved.

You're feeling good about it. On the next, I guess. All right. Awful news in this one for Nick Chubb of the Cleveland Browns. One of the best runners over the last five, you know, however many years. He is a perennial guy just, his workload, pound the ball, year after year, dependable.

Let's take a look at the video and let the video kind of speak for itself. Here in this game. Here's Chubb trying to pick his way inside the five, and he does. Knock down at the three. Ball came out, but he was down. Minka Fitzpatrick gets the tackle, but he gained him five. And the last thing any Browns fan wants to see, Nick Chubb holding his left leg. Oh, boy. I am told that the replay of Nick Chubb getting injured is not to be seen. Yeah, we're not going to show it. It's, uh, it's, it's as bad as you can imagine.

So there it is. He is done for the season, um, from the sounds of it. And obviously the MRI, that stuff's done this morning. But he also, that's his, uh, had the same leg, the same. had a massive injury in college. And we could take a look at the photo of that, going back to his college days. Why are we doing this?

Well, come on. Poor bugger is what it comes down to, ACL, MCL, whatever's in there, ligaments and tendons and that. His season is done. You just hope, and you can say it done forever. You hope he's not done forever.

It was one of those, and it happens retro, where something happens, and the whole football world, just the whole sporting world is like, damn it. And I don't know, I think Aaron Rogers a week ago, I don't think it was that just because he's kind of polarizing, but there's some guys, how don't you like Nick Chubb? He doesn't say, guys were talking about it this morning. He can walk through the airport in Cleveland and no one will really even kind of know who he is. Oh, that's one of the best runners in the National Football League.

But damn, that is, that is no good. so and you mentioned Aaron Rogers they're talking about is there a jinx with Monday night football this week Nick Chubb done last week Aaron Rogers severes his Achilles done the last Monday night football game from a year ago demar hamlin of the Buffalo Bills went down and thank God he's okay the week prior to that Kyler Murray tore his ACL and hasn't played since don't play Mondays someone's got a case of the Mondays. No good. No, Bueno. So that's the story there.

There's already some talk, maybe the Browns engaged in some trade talk for Jonathan Taylor, who was on the outs with the Indianapolis Colts, although injured right now, not sure if he's even available, but gross. No, Bueno. When did Joe Burrough sign his deal? about a week ago, 10 days ago. Didn't take long. Everybody says it. As soon as one guy signs,

well, the next guy, that's the richest contract of football. The next one's going to be. Well, who's the next one going to be? I don't know who starts this. If you're Patrick Mahomes, is it your agent that says, hey, Chiefs,

Patty Mahomes have done a lot for you. He's very happy here. But, you know, now you start to look Justin Herbert and clearly there's more money out there and Joe Burrow. These guys are making a lot of money. The Chiefs yesterday agreed, or this morning, agreed with the reigning

league MVP on restructuring his 10-year $450 million contract. Oh, good. So he's, you know, you could try and get by on that 10-year 450, or maybe we'll restructure it. It's going to give him a big boost over the next four seasons. The revised contract pushes some of that money that he was scheduled to make to the next four years of the contract.

He'll make 210 in the next four years. He'll make 56 million this season, 44 next 50 in 2025 and then 56 in 2025. Is that what our? 210 million in a four-year span is the biggest chunk of money ever allocated to a player in NFL. history. Isn't that, don't we have a phone call it, 215 or something?

Yeah, we've got that coming up. I'm sure. To hear. Because we really have been mismanaging our millions around here. Damn village Honda.

Got to talk to Anthony over at village. Where's our, where's our millions, but? Come on. Yeah. So, you know what?

Does he deserve it? If you're going to pay someone, who the hell else you're going to pay? Right. And, He has brought them Super Bowls. You think about the whole thing there. What were the Chiefs before he got there?

They were a team in the NFL and they had their fans and Arrowhead's a great stadium and that sort of thing. Well supported. He has made them hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. What, what, again, someone that's not loved by all, what does that say? And I could be wrong, but didn't Brady basically pay or play for cheap compared to these guys? Like he signed a contract, didn't bitch about it ever. If he was, yeah, and if he was ever the highest paid quarterback in the league, it was not for long. He was always well down the list of quarterbacks.

And why? So you can keep guys like Gronk or you can bring in Randy Moss or you can pay guys on your defense and that sort of thing. And not everybody's going to do it. I think at times he took heat from some other quarterbacks and guys with the Players Association for doing it. But who's going to tell Tom Brady what to do? I have seven rings. How many you got? And he's still, and he's still, I don't know.

We talk about this all the time, right? It's when's, when's enough enough and who's going to, I don't know. I think Tom Brady's doing okay for himself. If you were to look back at Tom and say, we're going to take away some rings, but now that your career is over, would you rather have another $200 million? What do you think his answer would be? Probably has enough. It's probably got enough.

Keep the ring. I'll keep my room. And he makes you wonder, like, I have no idea what happened there. I can't remember. Tyreek Hill. Just keeping him alone. Doesn't that? Yeah.

It would help. Right? Yeah. Yeah, it would help. So anyway, that's, I mean, there's other stuff going on, but that's, that's what's making news today with the, uh, the Pinder report brought to you by Village Honda. Huge selection.

this is one of those things. A lot of people may not know who Jim Abbott is. Jim Abbott's having a birthday today. And anyway, I wanted to throw it in. It's not this day in flames history, but it's an amazing sports story for a guy that's having a birthday today.

It's just that's the place to go. Great people over at McLeod Law. Jim Abbott born on this day in 1967. Jim Abbott born without a right hand. No, from basically from the wrist forward, just nothing there. He just kind of up, up, forearm up to about the wrist and that was it. As a young boy, who doesn't want to play baseball? Preparing to pitch the ball.

so he would rest his glove on the end of his right forearm, would throw the ball, then quickly slip his hand into the glove, usually in time to feel any balls that a two-handed pitcher would be able to find. Then would secure the glove between his right forearm and torso, slip his hand out, grab the ball, and throw it to first base,

or make the play, whatever the case may be. There's no, I don't know, you think as a parent, you encourage your kid, and I think it's awesome that a kid would just, I'm just going to keep trying. I'm going to find my way. There's no, well, here's how to play baseball if you're born without a right hand handbook kind of a thing.

You just get out there and make the best of it. Well, the kid turns out it's pretty good. And actually, you know, you can field the ball, whatever, but the guy has a pretty good arm for throwing the ball, good velocity. Guy, if only he had another hand, he could have been a, maybe could have made it to the majors. got to college level, played for the Michigan Wolverines for three years from 85 to 88, led them to two Big Ten conference championships, was the top amateur athlete in the U.S. in 1987,

was the first baseball player to ever win that award. It was baseball, a demonstration sport at the 88 Summer Olympics. He pitched in the final game and they won a gold medal. Now, it's an unofficial gold medal because it was a demonstration sport, but they won the gold in 88. The California Angels selected Abbott in the first round with the eighth overall pick in 1988. In 89, as a rookie, without playing a single minor league game, makes the starting rotation, went 12 and 12, with an ERA of 3.92, finished fifth in rookie of the year award voting. In 91, went 18 and 11, and the Angels were terrible that year, but he had the fourth lowest ERA in the American

League while pitching 243 innings. In 92, the Angels attempted to trim payroll and traded Abbott to the New York Yankees. September 4th, 1993, the kid who was born without a right hand did this as we take a look at the video. By Erga batting 318. And the ground ball shuts out the Cleveland India from Matt no, just no hit the Cleveland Indian. It's truly one of the most amazing sports stories ever. I was too young to appreciate it at the time, right? He was just doing it, so you're kind of, yeah, okay, great.

Then you think back and it's like, wait a minute. He did what? Yeah, September 4th of 1993 pitched a no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians, a one-handed pitcher in the major leagues with a no-hitter. It's truly one of the most amazing sports stories of anyone. lifetime. We see what Otani is doing now hitting and right. Like that's unbelievable. But it's an incredible sports story and got to be inside. I would think to any kind of any any parent or that has has a child with if you want to call it a disability, whatever you want to call it.

This guy is an inspiration to so many to make it to any level of baseball yet pull that off is truly one of the greatest things that we have ever seen in all of sports. Happy birthday, Mr. Rabbit. Happy birthday to you, sir. Peter Klein, McLeodlaw, personal injury guy, as we mentioned. Also the long-term disability insurance guy, if there is such a thing.

He'll get you those benefits. If you're having trouble getting those benefits paid out and we know it happens all the time, then get a hold of Peter, he'll go to work for you, get you that piece of mind and get you the benefits

that you've paid for and that you deserve. The very best, MacLeodlaw, McLeod-Dashlaw.com. But you're right. I mean, it's long enough. I knew it was a big deal at the time.

I was like, wow, that's kind of crazy. And I don't know if it's any more impressive today than it was then. But when I saw that this morning, it's like, that's right. Got it. A one-handed pitcher through a no-hitter in the majors at Yankee Stadium. That's a movie that if you made, it would never would be completely unbelievable. But yet it's real life. How has that movie never been made when you think of it?

That is odd. You know what? what I'm liking to documentaries. Make a nice documentary about it. Give me some backstory to that. Yes. Because it,

he was a kid and then was great at high school ball. And then, wow, won a gold medal at the Olympics. And how many people during, again, not even a criticism of people, but how many people in his realm

and in his world growing up behind his back, we're like, that's great, he's doing it. eight, nine, ten-year-old baseball. Wow. Can't do it at the next level.

Oh, well, it's great he's doing it at this level, but. The doubters, right? The doubters at every single turn would have been, you know, I mean, how many believers would there be? Like a handful. There had to have been some. And I guess at some point, the results are what they are. One that mattered.

One that mattered. Yeah. The results are, because obviously he was very good. He was. He made the majors and was one of the best pitchers in the rotation and all of that. But still, you still need to have somebody that believed in you enough to give you that opportunity. You would think at college, like, yeah, he can throw, but how are we going to, we can't give this kid a spot?

Are we giving a scholarship to a one-handed pitcher at the, for the Michigan Wolverines? How are we doing that? Cool. Well, we'll get to work on that today. I'll start putting, put some storyboards. together and hey Jack yep

give Jim Abbott a call today and see if he's gonna need a camera jack and Jim like Abbott's got any light we got what have we got for microphones we got any travel budget

yeah get a hold of the Wolverine and see get on the plane and let's find out where Jim is give Jim a call and we'll go from there we'll see if we can send

the plane for him or if we should just fly out there yeah we'll do our Betway the picks from last week. Now, what did we have yesterday? Because I had the Browns, and that obviously did not, the Browns minus three going into yesterday's game.

It's a half. Stealers went out. You had no Browns. Red had the Browns. Well, I definitely had. No, I just mean yesterday on the show. Oh. Because I made the two picks yesterday. Daily picks, yeah.

I had the Saints and the Browns, and I forgot what the, it was either a push or a win on the Saints, and I lost on the, on the Steelers. You're, you're, were you,

did you have a bet on it at least? Like, were at least happy to see them cover the spread, let alone win? No, I bet week one and, and I'm not betting again. Okay.

I did the rest of the way. Good job. I got Jack this week in our, uh, in our fantasy draft. I got sewered by Fogel. Like 120, 120.

Get out of here. You had a good week and still couldn't get it done. That's, that's tough. stuff now did you lose as well there Antonio clown yeah I did yeah who beat you mm I don't know probably doesn't know he's just a basket case right now I don't so every every Friday we do our our point spread picks our Barnburner Betway point spread picks it's a lot of words but there's some you know iteration in there

kind of works let's see how we did week one Rhett Pinder, myself, went two and one. Jack went one and two. We make three picks every week. Our money picks. Start us off. Let's see how we did. Boomer.

Miami at New England took the Patriots plus three. It felt like I was being a sharp. I felt like Miami. Not offense. No, I'm going to say three. Go with Miami. Seattle at Detroit. I like the Lions minus four and a half.

The team, they're good. Yeah. Seattle, after that horrendous second half in week one, they get a pick off Jared Gough. Gough hasn't thrown an interception for he's intercepted. Lions 4.5. It was a Seattle outward right win. And Dallas covers nine, like they won by 20 over the New York Jets in the end. So my minus nine gets me to a overall record of three and three, but I go one and two on the week. not ideal bounce back this week we're still okay Retro took the Bengals

minus three and a half against the Baltimore Ravens What are the Bengals doing? They again Joe Burrow is he a hundred percent He's certainly not now because he tweaks that calf

Jamar Chase has been kind of a non-factor it's been a tough start Pittsburgh so Baltimore wins that out right. Cleveland you had last night minus two and a half. Pittsburgh wins. So that's an X there. And of

course, he had your Buffalo Bills who cruised to a win and covered the eight and a half point spread. So you two is. Now, just wait a second here. I think I've been sewers on this. I told you at the start of the year. I've got two picks, standard picks for the season. The DAC attack is my quarterback and fantasy. So I always bet the Cowboys and I always bet the bills. So let's rectify this. I'm two and one. Well, I can, but I also have the, your text from our text group. Time to get our picks in and you had Ravens, Browns, bills.

I thought we were going to four picks. I didn't know, so I would do that one. So what you're saying now is you're, every week, regardless of spread, home or away, you're taking Dallas and Buffalo, and then you'll mix in one more. That's right. Red also has a record of three and three after a,

one in two weeks. So we'll implement that for week, week three. Ah, same for Pinder. He all, he was, you know what,

he's following, uh, he went with Jack in week one. He went with, uh, you and week two, Bengals. They do not cover.

Denver, Washington, minus three and a half for, uh, Russ, Russ, yet, yet to start cooking for the Broncos.

And he also took the bills. minus eight and a half three and three records so right across the board for the three of us now Jackie boy oh big bounce back his heart pick

which now you didn't really feel it but you knew you had to take your Pittsburgh Steelers is that fair to say plus two and a half yeah so they come through and why are you so sour yeah they came through your team won

they got your point spread pick Anyway, go ahead. Did we see it at the end one? The end of the San Fran L.A. game. Love it. Just. What you're referring to is the Rams are down considerably. Down by 10?

Down by 10. Zero's on the clock. And they attempt a field goal. To get them to within seven, which is they're not, there's no chance for them to win the football game. But there you see, McVeigh, they go for the field goal. They hit it to lose by seven. The spread was seven and a half.

He knew. There's no way, right? Like, he absolutely did that to make sure that the Rams covered. That's the only explanation. 100%. And screw you out of a three. So dumb. So yes, you had the 49ers minus seven and a half.

They do not cover. seven and a half. So the Rams would have been the way to go there. So after two weeks, all of us are kind of back to square one, three wins, three losses. I know you're jockeying for Dallas there. Yeah. You make a bold statement early in the year. You stick to your guns and then they screw you out of it. So I don't understand what the debate's about, really. And I see people in the text or in the chat group talking about, we use the lines. that are with the day when we are making the picks, we use the lines that are intact at that point.

So maybe by game time, San Francisco may have been minus seven. Two more people going up. Oh, what the hell? Just, yeah, muttering and effing under their breath. So what did she say? She said there's just not enough staff to, to allow people inside.

I don't know what that means. Okay. Also said, I could definitely get a job. I heard that. I could definitely get a job. Well, I heard you say you could definitely, so I could definitely get a job. You were kind of more of a statement than a question.

She could get. Yeah. Free internet. Who could say no to you, buddy. Who could say to no to you? Well, here we are. It's mid to late September. Still time for you to get out to Cranbrook and visit the beautiful St. Eugene

Golf Resort and Casino. If you aren't following them on, social media. You should. It's one of those things where it's like you said earlier, it's like that master's theme. When you're scrolling through your Instagram or whatever, oh, oh, look how beautiful it is out there. Twitter and Instagram at St. Eugene Resort. The website, you see it on your screen, saint eugene.ca. Championship golf course, casino, spa restaurants, mountains around you, that fresh mountain air, it is beautiful. Maybe you go out, I'm just going You know, may I'll go hit some balls.

Maybe we'll play nine. I just need to decompress and get away from the city. Do you hear how my voice, even just thinking about it, makes me get just kind of, oh, go have a nice meal. Get away from all the riff-raff of the city and enjoy yourself. St. Eugene, Golf Resort, and Casino, St. Eugene.com. It's probably going to do it for today on the old program. You know what we missed yesterday?

Um, yesterday it was National Cheeseburger Day. I did know that. I did know that. So I would say that in Buffalo for me, Moriarty's is a, uh, is, it's, you've got a little, I don't know what you'd call it, a cafe beside a butcher shop. Okay. So they grind up the beef fresh right there. Kind of a smash burger style.

Mm-hmm. In my opinion of the best burger until. Nice. What's your favorite fast food, if you want to call it that? Or chain restaurant, whatever you want to call it, that people would know. We said yesterday that I do love a Dave's double. Yeah, you said Wendy's. Yeah, yeah.

Like, if I am going to go through the fast food, 90% of the time I'm going there. Maybe 95, actually. Jackie Boy, what about you? If you're going out, you're going to have a day. Drive-thru? Five guys? Does five guys count as fast food? No, to me, that's not. That's different. I feel like that's a cheater's fast food.

But it is a chain, right? Is there a drive-thru? No. There you go. Drive-thru is a prerequisite for anything considered fast food. So where does five guys fall in then? Restaurant. Yeah.

We get an order and go sit down. You're not ordering it and grabbing it. Yeah, we do it all the time. What are you talking about? You've got to go inside, order, sit down, wait for them to cook it and pick it up. We use the app. We order on that. What do you want?

That's a cheat. Walk in, grab the bag, and we live. Then the samurai sushi joints of fast food. No, I'm not disagreeing with you. I think there's a distinction between, no. I think there's got to be a distinction between a one-off, like, your McGillicuddy's there that you're talking about. And a place where you can go,

because you can go in Edmonton, you can go in Vancouver, you can go in Calgary, there's multiple places in Calgary. There's a difference between a chain and a restaurant. Is, that's what I'm saying? Is Earl's a fast food joint?

No. No. Is Subway a fast food joint? Not really. No. If you've got to, my opinion is. Three categories then? No, no, no.

mine is the I said it wrong chain in a restaurant I didn't mean to say a restaurant chain and a fast food joint are different fast food joint in my world I don't have to leave my vehicle I'm with you five guys I would not say is fast food because fast food I think they call it fast because you could go through the drive through and it might the food might already be prepared yeah I want one of these okay and this and here you go whereas five guys

yours it's a special two order yeah I do like five guys though I got to admit yeah it's not a criticism of any it's just in my world a fast food joint

has to have a drive-thru all right jack rent won't let won't allow it and we need to so now fast food you're going through a drive-thru uh

A and W give me the order what's your A&Dub order a pop a burger with a putteen and a Diet Coke nice touch now question you're an onion ring guy I was going to say if you're on that depends on the day

I usually go putine I love the onion rings are good I love the onion rings but I find that they end me much like putteen I won't get either I'll just get the sandwich the burger if I add the fries or the onion ring, it's over. It lights out.

I'm done. I love the onion rings. And oddly, sometimes I find, again, just go a little easy on that seasoning salt. Because sometimes it'll be like bright orange with the seasoning salt. Because they'll still be like right out of the deep fryer. And they'll just suck that salt right up. It's like, whoa.

Salty. It's so good. Now, the Papa, you said Papa? Yeah. Does that have the tomato? That doesn't, because the teen burgers got tomato, lettuce and stuff. This is just kind of the burger with condoms, right? Onions, pickles.

You got to ask for cheese on it. Popple's cheese? Yeah, you got to ask for the cheese. And is Papa, what, three or two? Or how many patties? You have to request, I think. Because I know there's the Mama and then the Papa. Papa told Mama.

Each and every night. Ask her how she was and if the kids are all right. Tomorrow is Wednesday. We'll do this all over again. Where will we be tomorrow? Who knows? And when will we start? Another big question. There is a chance and people love it when the show starts late.

You talk about a lot of people are very interested in who the capital, that the flames is going to be, and they're also very concerned about what time our show starts. Chances are, it may be a delayed start and per host delayed every day. I understand. Well done. Maybe like a 1030 local start is probably fair to say for tomorrow, which doesn't mean we'll go long. There'll just be less show. Yeah, this has been plenty long. We've done well today, all things considered. So if you are going to, if it's part of your daily routine, we do appreciate you. But just a heads up that because of we might be, there's a possible interview that we're recording prior to,

but because of the time allotment of our guest, we may not be finished in time for a 10 o'clock or even a 10.07 or 1010 start. So maybe a 10.30 start local tomorrow. All things being equal and all things, hey, maybe not. Maybe not. Maybe the guest won't be any good and we'll just be, we've got to let this guy go. This guy's shit. This guy's terrible.

But, uh, so about 1040 then, but yeah, there it is. Yeah. Mm-hmm. And, uh,

flame start tomorrow? I don't know. I thought I read it in the comments. Oh, probably. That's another good question. What's the multitask tomorrow? Multitask tomorrow.

Yeah. Um, well, it's going to be doing two shows. It's going to be doing the interview. I was going to make mashed potatoes today. Is it a mashed potato kind of day? It's not, but I'm leaving town Thursday.

And I like to have food because you don't want to rely on the shovelers cooking because kids get sick. They won't be able to play. So you mean you're going to make food to leave behind for the family? Dad of the year over here. Oh, yeah. God. Yep.

Love this show and yes, training camp stars. Sweet. Oh, we'll have lots to talk about that. F and F. Thank you there. Lots. We'll have lots to break down. Yeah, but, you know, I mean, it's fitness testing and now.

Oh, God. I feel like that doesn't even count. And I want somebody text Peter Hanlon and say, thanks for getting back to retro. Appreciate it. No, don't do that. Because you know what? I chirped, we chirped Conroy the other time. Yeah, thanks for texting back.

I got to text later, hey, sorry I haven't. Oh, I don't want you guys mad at me. You don't need us, man. You're good, Craig. You're in trouble. You do have some things going on in your. life. All I'm doing is making chili and wrettes stalking people outside of a Starbucks in Buffalo, New York. You've got more in your life to deal with. We appreciate you. Do join us tomorrow,

but we might be a little bit, it'll be worth it though. We got a great guest to knock on wood joining us tomorrow that we'll roll out for you later in the week. But have a great rest of your day. Appreciate you. Like, subscribe. Uh, tell your friends. Be good to each other. You know, it helps, help somebody today. If you see, if somebody needs a little bit of, helping head, whether it's a phone call or carrying groceries or whatever it is, if somebody needs some help today, give them some help today. Make somebody's day better today, would you? We'd appreciate it. Appreciate you. We'll see you tomorrow, buddies.
