And away we go. Welcome to the Thursday edition of Barn Burner here in our palatialist, palatial studios. I made a guy for breakfast and he thought he was, everything was shut down. He said it's like being in Gaza. Yeah. There is a bit of a war-torn feel to the neighborhood these days. So like Sarajevo, just bullet shell holes everywhere. Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, uh, presentation of Bet365. This thing is this thing we do here. We appreciate Bet365. Be doing some business these days. Stanley Cup playoffs are on.

Official partner of the Stanley Cup playoffs must be 19 or older. Whatever your bet is, it's never ordinary at bet 365. And donations that come in during the course of the show will be directed. Right. There's no filter. There's no, I'll take a little taste and I'll take a little, me, little for you. You the center of Calgary.

Straight there. It's right there. Interesting pre-show. Rett's tired. You had too much breakfast. Shouldn't eat breakfast. Don't eat breakfast. Love breakfast.

When I do eat breakfast, instantly fall asleep. That is the weirdest thing for you because I know, I've known you for a long time. You love breakfast. It loves a good breakfast sandwich. So then you go and then you go for spells where you use. you don't eat breakfast. 98% of the time don't eat breakfast. Can we see your t-shirt?

I was going to say, can we go full screen on retro just to kind of get... I thought you'd like that. I love it. It's great. Oh, careful. So we've got a,

is that a deer? That's awesome. Tongue hanging out. Uncle Mike from Scottsdale got me that. Thanks, Mike. I got a cool shirt today too. Hell you don't. It's a Steelers piece of.

It's not. Show me. He's got a, uh, Some Calgary stampeter wear. That is kind of cool. Look at the Cal, Metro cowboy.

Look at that. We had a camera. We need the jack cam. What's the update on the jack kit? The jacked with the cam. You just saw the guy in Scottsdale. That was the jack cam. Like,

Commodore, upgrade your living. What kind of hovel are you living in, Mike? Yeah, guys giving it a tug pool side. Ain't it up, dude. Settle. Settle. Real subtle.

real subtle. Not those statements, but opening statements are our presentation again of McLeod Law. Shane King, litigator of the year. Lottie. Litigation and dispute resolution. So is that just like when we get into it here on what to do with Rasmus Anderson, do we bring in Shane? Maybe if we had like some contractual paper that we were violating. I see.

Like you were Rasmus and you had a no trade and I'm like, I'm Connie. I'm trading you anyway, you jerk. Wow. Now we got to resolve this. Like Vegas with. Yes. Or maybe it was Ottawa with Daddorf. Right.

Yeah. You know, lose your first rounder over that. Shane King would have been big. It would have been big, big, big there. Awesome. Yeah. So Rhett had breakfast. And the guy by the pool might need a look.

Yeah, yeah. He probably should need a lawyer. He should just move out and go away. Somebody should. I don't know if you could fight that one. You miss golfing? Is that what you said? You want to golf?

No, I said, are you golfing? you said this year you're going to get good. I'm, yeah, not just, I'm going to be good at it this year. It's a really hard sport to be good at. Is it?

Oh, God. It's the worst. Hmm. You're the one that went to practice at the screens that you, that's why it was such a fraud because it actually feels like you can be good. Yeah. Felt like you could actually be good on a sim. I'm so good at this.

You can't be good at golf. Yeah. You know, who's golf and his wemer and all those clowns. It's a big boy strip out in Kimberly. So if you're in Kimberly. Look out. Yeah.

who lock up your whatever's out in Kimberly because they're coming lock up your VLTs at 9 p.m. Your smoked meat because they're headed your way. Yeah, golf is a weird one. It's interesting that when you think about it. All the way down there, there's a little hole about this big. I'm going to take this, this little ball. Your eyes are getting worse.

How are you going to? How in the world can you do that? I'll do it in about three or four shots. You're crazy. It's maybe the most amazing sport on the, planet it's the canadian open right now and we're going to show a highlight from today's first round action unexpected if you were hundreds of yards away you would think it would take many attempts to get in the hole we'll show you yeah an update from canadian very nice so it's kind of

flying in the face of my philosophy that it would take a long time i think you're correct for the vast majority of humans but for 0.001% they're they can make the sport look easy got it yeah have you golfed yet? No. It takes time and good time and good shoulders. And energy and a body. You, Jack, you golf?

Do you enjoy the game? I'm anti-golf. Are you? I went over this couple weeks ago. All my buddy's golf. It's a waste of time. It does eat the whole day. I'll tell you that.

It's a long day. It's expensive. And I'm not very good. He's single. And it's not like you can read a book and get better. Like sometimes you can just study up and I'm smarter at this.

I'm better at this than I was before I took this course. Takes a long time. I don't know. Maybe something. Sorry of him cutting you off there, but maybe you're wrong. Maybe you got to be just like that loose. Don't put anything into it.

No, it's a game. Don't overthink it. You're overthinking it. Can AI help with my golf game? Oh, for sure. You just get a robot and have it hit for you. That's your AI agent. This is me.

Anything that's got a computer. is now AI just for anyone falling on the show. Is that what it is? You want to hear about crazy. I went down the rabbit hole yesterday on the way to Medicine Hat. Woo. How are things in the hat? Is it hot?

Hot and dry. Erred in the hat. Yeah. Feels like desert. I think it is. Big news. Caden Lindstrom's confirmed he is going to Michigan State next year. Oh, no.

Confirmed? Because I could have told you that. Well, everyone seemed to know it, but there were people. holding out hope that no no no no and it's like no it's a good spot for that kid because he's got the bad back he's going to have more time to work out and focus on and he's a Columbus draft pick it's right there it has that fault to do with it but well i could go under there is there school in ohio that Miami could have gone to i Ohio state or Miami called david nice all these people is that the penguins coach that's uh dan the man that's Doug Doug Doug Dan Dan

Dan, Doug, done, dog, dog, dig. Don't do it. Don't do it. What am I going to have for supper this weekend? I'm thinking of prime room. I saw you load that up too, do you settle down. What about, have you had that elote? No.

The Mexican corn dish? No. You'd like that. Would I? Yeah, Jack, look it up, would you? Have you had it? Vegetables and fruit and him. It's not really a vegetable.

Loat. Corn doesn't digest anyway, so. Rain makes corn. What's it? Whiskey. What's it called red? Elote. Oh, yeah.

You could. A lotte? El, O-I-T-E, something. And then just put Mexican dish behind it because it's a Mexican. It's delicious. It's not a little, it's a lotte. That would be Jack. How much is a latte?

Are you getting that latte delivered? How much is the, yeah. I had a funny one yesterday. Go ahead. Kind of like that. You know, everyone's got ADHD. Uh-huh. My kids have I-A-D-H.

I-A-T-H. I, A, D, H. Yeah. They were diagnosed the other day. Okay. I'm a dickhead. This is what they have. I got one kid with that.

He caught that too. It's going around. Yeah. Doesn't seem to be contagious. The other one's fine. Yeah. It'll get you. You know what?

I want to send it. And I don't know. I'm trying to think he probably doesn't want people talking about. Our buddy great Keller. Oh. Bontan meet, Marka. Birthday coming up? The best?

No, he's, uh, he's going to, he's getting some work done. Good. Yeah, he's going in to get a little, uh, some body work done. Okay. I'm going to have to just sit around for like six weeks. Oh, perfect. For so for July and August. Oh, man.

You're just going to be having to hang around. You might just stay in that Stan Peters parking lot and tail get the whole summer there. It's a bugger. Stay in his RV. Poor Greg. We love you, Greg. We love you, Greg. And I, we should have guessed that you would be the man to know where the stampeters played.

Yes. Yeah, we were talking yesterday about so 80, because it's the 80th birthday party coming up. 80 years ago, where did they play? Did they play? Are they? It's old, but not that old. Miwada Stadium, which is a corn dish that Rhett recommended 10 minutes ago. Yelate Stadium.

Yeah. Delicious. That's where a millennium park is. Greg has seen. Which is now going to be the new Cowboys Park. If you're coming into downtown on Boat Trail, right? Yeah,

this is downtown stuff, Ryan, we're not up to date with this hip-hop. Is that downtown? Oh, hell yeah. Okay. It's north of the train tracks.

Technically, you could call it West Village. Because, yeah, there's all these, so there's beltline, and there's downtown. It's clear sailing.

That's right. Comes through the east. Oh, yeah, hardly see anything. And that's BS, by the way, because I saw.

It's 100%. So you drive away yesterday? Yeah, you know. I tried to come from the east today, and I had to go left and right and right and left and south and north and backwards. Yeah. So you're a foolish. It's a bunch of horse shirt.

You're a liar, Mr. Linger. I'm not buying what you sell. Jack, did you find it? I got distracted. I'm looking up the stamp stadium now. They've been in Mick, Mick, McMahon since 1960. Mick McMahon. Nick McMahon. He's a wrestling. I love Mick,

McMahon. One of my favorites. Is it a Vick McMahon? Mick McMahon. Big Bad. Yeah. McBad died up. What year was Big Bad? Errected. Isn't there a McMahon that's in the Trump administration?

That's Linda. Yeah. What's she do? Well, it's Vince's wife. She was, she's running something in education. And then so she'd be clearly been prepped on what to say. And she's like, we need all our kids to be up to speed on A1 practices. It was AI. She was reading it wrong.

A1, stand. A1's going to change. A1. I love it. I'll tell you. I did that steak sauce the other day. Yes. And it called for A1. But I don't have A1. I don't buy shitty steak sauce. Oh, careful.

I'm not. In Canada, it's shitty in the States. A1's good. Different mix. It's different blend. Okay. There's more poison and stuff in the States. It's much tastier.

because we're avoiding the topic and looking to stretch the, I'm going to call my buddy right now. Is beef? Beef? Yep. Is beef your best, bud? I don't know. He's a long time.

I don't know that I hear about a pal more than I hear about beef. I don't see him. Yeah, but your pals, it's fine. You know, he's, uh, although it's 10. What time is it in Manitoba? I don't know if he'll be awake yet. It's 11.15. What are you talking about?

A bit of a night owl. Let's see. I hope we just. answers with some cuss or something dirty. Watch up. I hope he doesn't have it. It means he's sleeping. Imagine him in bed at 11.15. He's a night owl.

I am too, but I still get up. He loves A1. Really? Yeah, he's not. All right. Hi. Hello. Hello.

Wait, it was a legal message out of the name. Hey, all. No, when I started in, uh, in radio, get to Brandon. He was working on the FM side. I got a job on the AM side. So we were just working the same shift. Ah,

yeah, you get the call on the local line. Yeah, I'm getting some wheel brought in. Some pepperoni onion. What do you want on that? Pep onion. I'm getting some,

yeah, gonna order some wheel. So yeah. He was the sales guy, yes? No, on air. Really?

Yeah, on air guy. He's very much an entrepreneur. Yeah, yeah. So when I worked at First, John, there was an old guy with a real greasy long

bullet and he was like, come on down to the condil. It's a great steak. It's a fucking strip club. The condo of the world famous state, I'll be voicing these ones, boys. He'll be very upset that he didn't answer his phone because he's usually always on his phone.

He's like, ah, when are you getting me on that? Like, what the fuck do you? What am I coming on the show? Like, you guys talk, all the shit. He's on Twitter. He's like, you know, I can come out of the show and tell you about it. Like, let's go. Ah, what the phone?

Well, the guy had, Breakfast with today had HP on his eggs. I've seen that. It's a bold move. And what does it stand for? House of Parliament? Because we're part of the Commonwealth. So fancy.

So Fancy and A1. Now, you've been in the grocery store, so I'm going to throw this in there with your HP A1. Because I've already said A1 Canada, A1 America, really good. HP Canada, HP, UK. Anyone know if there's a difference? I don't know. Because I've seen the English portion of the grocery store with the HP, and I've always wondered.

I haven't done much grocery shopping in the UK, got to be honest. I'll tell you this. And I can confirm corn pops in Canada far inferior to the corn pops. Well, there's spheres here and their ovals there. There it's just kind of randomish. Yeah, different shapes. Yeah, it's just kind of. Yeah, they put more.

And here it's right. Yeah, the rounds and kind of with a crumble almost like crummy. Yeah. There's no crummy. It's very much like a sealed vessel down there. All right. We should do it. I don't eat it, but we should do it a cereal bracket.

Well, you don't eat cereal. That'd be no fun. I don't either. What an experience to have a Somali-like tasting apparatus bring on this new found food. Okay. Sensing. It's very confident with his tastebloods. How many, how many do you need?

Are we doing 16? The bracket. You're telling me that there's not 16. Oh, there is. I'm just, because you're going to have your corn flakes, your rice crispy is the non-sugar variety. Then you're going to have very sugary, frosted flakes. Got your two cans, Sam, your count chocula.

They got a way in. Yeah. Yeah. Fruit loops, I feel would be big. Stupid tricks, rabbit. Lucky charms. Cheerios. What about the?

golden oh i like that one i've had that old no isn't that just cinnamon toast crunch no it's different oh the cc cinnamon toastc we did this like i used to think it was healthy to have vanilla like milk and what was it that nature that soy no it might have been vanilla soy milk and then the granola one that's really good i liked that one i'm going to find it at the workout one like You a cereal guy, Jack? Not really anymore. I can't remember the last time I had cereal. You're much more mature.

I really like the cocoa puffs. Those are amazing. Cuckoo for Cocoa for sure. What about Cap and Crunch? Yum. Crushes the roof of your mouth. I can't eat it. You'll be walking the plank.

Yeah. It's too much. I can't do the dairy. There's lots of these brackets. Oh, I can't. There's so much I can't do anymore. Can't do it. No can do.

Yeah. You know what? Honey, Bunches, before, not to give things away, an interview coming up. It'd be tough to pull off the here's a couple of clips and then we're going to talk to them, you know? We'll pull back the curtain just for you today.

We had a conversation earlier this morning with former friends, still a friend, maybe future friend. Former friend, yeah, just a friend. Great guy. Dave Dickinson, head coach GM of the Calgary Stampeders. Their season kicks off this weekend against the Hamiltonians.

Those tiger-y cats out of Hamilton will be here to kick things off for the stamps. They've got what was it? I was looking this morning. They've got it's home heavy to start, road heavy to finish. So get some wins, fellas. Yeah, by week five, they'll have a buy week

and three home games done. Wow. Yeah. And then four of their last five are on the road. Well, it'd be nice to. Or what, a month of from the stampede bowl. I know they put a ton of effort into making that a big one. That's going to be a lot of fun. They've already announced some musical acts.

Yeah. Ticket sales apparently moving nice. Brett Michaels. Sure. Another heartbreak kid. Nothing but a good. No. Yeah.

So Saturday 5 p.m. Hamilton, the 80th birthday party. A bunch of alumni will be in town to help celebrate. Flutty, Lewis, Copeland, Singleton. A lot of notty? There will be some Illuminati for sure. Yeah, for sure there will be. This, and we talk about.

about it with Dave. Last year, for the first time since 2014, I believe it is, or 2004, I guess it is. Yeah, it's literally like 20 years since they missed the playoffs. That's wild. 5, 12, and 1. They overhauled everything. Coaches out, players out. Quarterback.

Out. Basically. All the quarterbacks are new. Yeah. On the defensive side of the ball, I was watching, Dave had an interview of the, I, don't really know who the starters are going to be. That's, you play two preseason games. One, they snot-bobbled Edmonton, so they don't know who, hey, we'll just see how it goes.

Anyway, they are, they made sweeping changes. One of them will be at quarterback. Vernon Adams, Jr., is the new starter that we asked Dave about. So tell us about the Vernon Adams acquisition. How did it come to be, we obviously see Rourke show up there and you're like, okay, how many chefs do they need in the kitchen? They also go over the cap that gets you another. There's pick. Thank you, BC. But, you know, how long have you been trying to acquire and what

have you seen since he's gotten into town? You know, we knew we were making a change at quarterback. So that was going to be an obvious thing there. We wanted it to be VA. We weren't exactly sure. BC still had the cards that could have traded up to anybody, really. So we thought we made a pretty good deal. We didn't even give up a first rounder for a guy that I think was potentially midway through the season, the lead horse for the MOP. I've, I've, I've liked running for a long time. I've wanted to work with him. You know, when he's going, he's right up there with anybody.

He can run. He can pass. He's tough. He's crafty. He has energy. He has leadership. Guys gravitate towards him. And when he's going, I believe he's as good as anybody.

Exciting quarterback. It helps when you, I don't need to shovel dirt on Jake Mayer, but. I didn't need to, but I did last year. I'm excited for the new guy. Jake Mayer was not. It's just when you're this franchise and it's like you look back through the ages and it's like Hall of Fame or Hall of Fame or Hall of Fame went to the NFL to try, went to the NFL stuck, went to the NFL, gave it a try.

And then you have a guy who's probably just okay. It just doesn't fit. This franchise rolls through top notch Hall of Fame quarterbacks. That's what's known for. He was not one of them. And you know, we get to the hard hitting questions. That may feel like, well, that's pretty. pretty football that's pretty

you know sportsy kind of thing we tell when we were doing the radio show we would have Dave on and as we do you know conversation right we're real people he's the down to earth guy what of our favorite guys

we learned something years ago about Dave and I was just curious if it was still a thing are you still a non burger eater I mean I'll eat him I don't like him that I don't like him that I I'm really weird. Like you said, I don't drink. Now, Chicken Burger would have probably got

to eat. But I don't know what. Yeah, my dad claims I'm still, I don't like watermelon. That's the thing my dad. He's coming up for the game. He's 85. No way. Oh, yeah, him and my mom. And then, but he, I remember as a kid, he'd just say, you are just, you're one of one. No kid doesn't like watermelon. I still don't like it. So I frustrate a lot of people with my eating habits. They had burgers. He wasn't in the video. He doesn't want any house. Everybody was so excited to eat burgers.

He's like, Dave's no impact for Dave to see a tray full of burgers. Wouldn't be tempted. A thing of cookies for me. Not a cookie guy. Such a good guy. Such a good guy. So, yeah, Saturday, June 7th.

That's this Saturday, 5 o'clock, Stan Peters hosting Hamilton. And we'll have the entire full interview coming up later in the show. Come up to invite me. you're always invited yeah you're never not invited never not it's in the group chat or not what about the answer bin no hey do you want to get here for hey ret 830 no i'm having a a breakfast i'm going to regret 40 minutes later red of breakfast going on a blood sugar level bender here what you have by the way we didn't we talk about what you eat no made omel were you over there oh i like that place it's a good spot

Do you know what city they're in, Brett? Indianapolis. Indian Wells. That's right. Interesting. Pacers. What's the pace car? Indianapolis 500.

I was thinking about horses. Yeah. But wouldn't you want to be the race car, not the pace car? It's not the. Yeah. Right? The base car can't keep up with the race car. You're just out there for one lap and you go away and then the action starts.

Is that what the Pacers? The listeners are right. They need this info. So let's find it. Why are the pay. What's the deal? Are they called? You can't just voice it or?

According to Indianapolis attorney, Richard D. Tinkum. Tinkum, if you got them. Oh, boy. The nickname Pacers. Tinkum barely knew them. Was decided on through a collective decision of the original investors. Tinkum, one of the investors, Tinkler.

Recalled that the nickname was a combination of the state's rich history with the hardest racing pacer's and the pace car used for the running of the business. the Indianapolis tinkler sold it all together the horses and the cars i had a scott tinkler was our equipment man i was going to say we down in the states all tinky

We're at Rose Diamond on Saturday. That's in Stanley Park. They redid that after the floods. It is gorgeous. It's the best ball diamond in Western Canada. It's unbelievable. That's quite a statement. It is.

They did the playdowns for the World, what do they call it, the Little World League World Series for Canada. They did it there a couple years ago down by the river. I have a little cookout. There's a lot of skids down there. Recommended mushrooms and hanging around in the river. Careful.

Go into those bushes for a piss and get stabbed. There's a lot of skids. There is. I lived right there. Jeez. Had to get out of there. Why did you leave there? That's a good setup.

Are you? Oh, yeah. All right. It's not moving anywhere. It's moving to Buffalo. All right. Time for some hockey talk. Enough.

So the Flames Pick 18, the question is, well, I was going to say, we, I was going to go a different angle. Yeah. We talked about, don't, just don't get crazy if you've had a bad season, if you're upset, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't overreact. Meanwhile, Tulski in Carolina. Tulski, we got cap space. The owner's committed to spend into the cap. We're, we got money.

We're not afraid to use it. I'll spend all summer trying to spend it if I need to. That's always a good decision. Right? that feels like always a good approach okay he's a process guy i'm not too worried about them doing dumb stuff i've been pretty sure his quote was i'll spend the summer trying to spend it essentially so they're going to be captain i'm fine with that that makes sense they want a superstar marner mitch marner rod's gonna have we talked about places where you could hide mitch

fit because we know what his strengths are and they're phenomenal, but his weaknesses, it's just like when the games get physical playoffs. I think like Vegas and Carolina are the two places you can insulate him the best. I can see him. They come out of you with waves. They forechecked. They're big and physical teams. I can see him in Carolina.

Yeah. Or at least I can understand the rationale as to maybe why they would want him. The system will try and take care of the rest. We need to score more goals. We need offense. he would provide that. And again, they just got left at the altar by Ranton. I don't disagree.

I'm just, what are they going to pay this, man? And I don't know that he's worth it. How many years are you going to sign for? He's going to go max. Seven years. And so what would be feel really expensive today? 14. And so if the cap's 130 million bucks halfway through this deal,

does that feel expensive? The guy you hope. It's like eight million bucks today or nine million. today, right? Like, that's kind of the universe we're in. So I do think we're going to see stupid deals where you're like sticker shock. What the hell are they doing? That's way too much money because it's been like a decade since we were in this cap that was growing 10% a year. We had a flat cap for like five, six years. There'd be a few guys in that room that have gone to battle with the canes for contracts and trying to get money. And then if 14 for Marner.

Yeah. Welcome. Come on in. That's true. You're like, so you ground me. coach they grinded rod of all people on contracts round me to dust over some a couple hundred grand half like 250,000 dollars and it's 14 million for him you've talked about that in the past when a guy comes in and all of us are our new guy is our highest paid guy yeah and if you're a bit on the soft side not to say that's happened anywhere yeah I see what you're saying I don't think if you look at you know what's the best use of 14 million and how efficient is it, but they're a team lacking that finishing.

And I understand that they might get into the emotions like Trillivin did here. Like when you're snubbed by Rantin and maybe you overreact, it's, it's an emotional thing to do. Like that's why they signed Hubert out before seeing him on the X. I'd fire the GM's ass. Would you? Shut your, yeah, Tulski.

He's trying to say we're open for business. Who wants to go there? I don't know. I mean, I've been there. I've been to Charlotte. I haven't been to Raleigh. I don't know what it's like. That is not even relevant.

I'm just saying, like, does it sound like it's a place that... Those who like it, love it. It doesn't feel like a destination, but I get... No, but Florida didn't either 10 years ago, right? And now it's the destination. I don't know. Like, the taxes are probably pretty good, if, but not...

Taxes are decent. If you feel... The climate's nice. Great. Teams very good. Like, they've won a first year... That's just seven years in a row. The difference between Florida 10 years ago and now is a

Florida was horse ass right and Carolina's been really good and still haven't really maybe they didn't want to spend the money I don't know what are the last free agents that they went and were able to they're paying or a love like almost 80 year which is wild but yeah here's the quote secondary guy right and they're paying them a lot Eric Tulski GM this was uh as of I guess two days ago now if there's any chance to get better we're going to take it We have the full buy-in to spend to the cap if there are ways to do it to get better. We have so much space and such a strong team. There's no guarantee we can find ways to spend all that money,

but we're going to spend all summer trying. They have obviously some, the youth, Jackson Blake, Logan Stankhoven. Stank. On the back end, Nickition, Scott Morrow. They have UFAs in Burns and Orlov that they've got to make a decision on. the problem won for moral law. Burns is 40. I would think he's comfy.

You'll stay there. It won't be expensive. And the other thing they have that we haven't really talked about that is a huge chip for them to play, they got two firsts in that Rantanin' deal. Plus whatever picks of their own they still have. You don't have to wait and use those.

You can or you can say, hey, it's draft week. Here's a first. We want that player. And maybe that's the better way to not force to be paid a $14 million to a guy. That's good. When they made that deal, it was like, oh, they'll probably flip these at the deadline.

They didn't, but they still have those cards to play. What other Eastern Conference teams do you want to talk about? Well, yeah, we went through the West the other day. I know. It's only seen 17s relevant. So Washington. I don't know if there any good. Why did you determine on your new coach, Jack?

You're, how's Dan the man? Pumped? I haven't done my rounds yet. I had, what? No. Is it done your rounds or made your rounds, would you? Either way. Are we really not?

What? Time for the Pender report. Try one more thing. Try one more angle. Do you have another one? Sounds like there's some teams open for business on top of the draft. How high up could you get if you package pick 32 or 1 and 18? So some nerds have done the breakdown of how much picks are worth.

I thought this was a, it sounds disparaging, but this isn't the draft. draft class that wows as much as well you're not trained this year's first round is for next year's picks I'm saying if if you don't love what you're seeing at 1832 how high could you get but not only are you okay then you have to go why would I

do it because what am I after right so like if a Roger McQueen who might have been a top five pick if he was healthy slides to 11 can you get that high 6 5 right shot centerman maybe you don't like the player but I don't like the family I don't like the family

I played with his okay we don't know that we need to explain the joke otherwise people think you just be oh but that's people like that water's just talking ass yeah there's another guy reporter turned to the bus that day on this show i'd do it because i don't trust the 32 is anything right and 18 is not as good as 11 i'm with you but we haven't broke down the draft class maybe we should do that and what the eff are you doing with the orange jetty cooler you were an orange shirt today, yesterday.

Like, come on. It was on sale. Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on you. But you look at the pain you brought us right. That's true. You know what?

That's the solace you can have. I'll tell you what I'm not wearing tomorrow. And you're not drinking out of it. There's no effing orange. Crush. B.S. I'm a huge Flyers fan. Danny Breyer.

Love Danny Breyer. Yeah. Hard not to. Syracuse guy. Jay Rose Hill, great guy. It was going well. You didn't have what you wanted after 40. It looked real good.

3-1 lead. 3-1? Tidy. 3-1. I had to do a puzzle. I was so stressed. Literally doing a puzzle of Italian wine regions. Okay, okay.

Clear the puck. I was sitting there and I was playing that game on my phone where you have like the black hole and you, gather up stuff and then the whole you know that I don't know play games in my home I don't know that so I'm play us the games on my daughter's like oh did you see that no I didn't see anything what do you do what are you doing I can't watch this shit

why is it on I because I got to watch this shit you just said you can't watch it exactly to go to your room the puck over glass penalty is so dumb stupidest stupidest penalty ever dumb here's thing I argued with when this came in called him names he called me names that's why it doesn't return you text we let the officials make judgment calls everywhere else in the game except here and the whistles were put away hands are tied got to got to do it whistles have been retired for the night they're done we're not needing these how many seconds left you know what else they didn't have to let them tie it 3 1 you said right

3 1 those are there's three you know because i was the one the one thing and I've said it to ad nauseum or whatever you guys are tired to hear me talk about you the thing about it is if you could just rattle their cage a little bit they haven't had their cage rattled haven't had you know little adversity just see how resilient they are like make it one nothing oh one one goalie interference nope penalty goal two one oh right cruising this florida panthers team's a different beastie yeah look at them react they just had to weather the storm okay get to the end you know what intermission We're down two to one.

We're good boys, right? Two minutes into the second. Bennett, three, one. Oh, that's our boy. That's our boy. One 17 later, a shitburger. It was a shitburger, right? From Arvetson.

Can we whiteboard it? You gotta have it. It's the Stanley Cup finals. You are, bro. How many business you got? You got two? Yeah, it was. Dave doesn't like burgers.

Cripes. That was a big crapes. Still up three to two, Dean. Yeah, but the Dean said it earlier. When they need a goal, they just get one. They just get it. You got to be up to two. Kind of did feel that.

If they don't get the goal they need, then they'll pull their goalie and then they get the goal they need. Is this part of the issue is that we're going to come up with a conclusion that something I said month ago? Yeah. If you stop wearing orange, maybe things will change. We just need to shut this thing down.

Is this what the next two, three years of, our lives are going to be yes that burner it's a new baseball podcast what do you feel about the cincinnati reds today dude joey vado's been great what are the reds named after is it the red hot red candies what is it oh what is it red something red diners panthers don't lose when they're up after two no they don't rat ever funny you mention that doesn't happen that you know why because they got shane king he'll litigate your ass if you try and beat them. Panthers were 31 and 0.

That's right. When leading after the first or second under Paul Maurice. That's a lot. So can you repeat that? The Florida Panthers were 31 and oh when holding a lead at the end of the first or second period in a Stanley Cup playoff game with Paul Maurice as their coach. 18 and 0 on the road. That's incredible.

When leading after 40. How's that look today? That's 31 and 1. Can you give us another cripes? We'll stay out of your way. It can be clean. Cripes! It's the Oilers third multi-goal comeback win this postseason.

Their seventh come from behind victory. And their fourth third period deficit that they've erased en route to victory. So they've used all their bullets, you're telling me. There's nothing left? What I'm worried is they got plenty of bullets. now they just know how to use them. Yeah, well, corks soaker. Kirksoaker, indeed.

Oh, we did it. So move on next. I don't know. There you go. Is it Tyrese Halliburton for the Pacers? Is that his name? Yeah, Tyrese had a really good postseason. And the Canadian SGA, Shaggildjaze Alexander MVP?

Were you surprised the first Bennett goal stood? I was in the car, so I was listening to this. I'd heard it described before. so you're kind of looking for the outcome. It's the one one goal. It's tripped, right? Yeah. So I can tell you that the Florida Panthers radio guys were shocked.

They're like, ooh, this doesn't. That's Dougie Plagons. It doesn't look good. It's my boy. He was in San Antonio when I worked with my boy, Billy Lindsay. That's our boys. Our boys. Our boys.

Yeah. Friends of the show. So there's a shot from Verhag. Huge friend of the show. It's like, oh, Stunner, Bennett in all over the goal. In on net. That's where you want him, Dean. I just felt like he he falls on to Skinner.

Well, they tripped them. Right. You look at skates. Come on, no, dude. Yeah, it's not his fault. Look,

look at poor Sam. He gets very, innocent bystander. Oh, rubber. Oh, rubber legs. You can't trust Kuulak. Oh, no.

Yeah, he's a good reputation. Where is he from? Stoney playing or something. Yeah, you're, uh, I mean,

when you're, uh, just a upstanding citizen, letter of the law, clean player like Sam Bennett and that dirty prick, Brett Kulak trips up like that. That's right.

Right. Clearly that good job, Dan. Is Benny up for the lady bang again this year? It's got to be. I can't wait for them to announce it. Yeah.

Get it out already, Gary. Let us know. We're sitting here waiting. Dying to know. Yeah, three, two. You know the one?

No one ever talks about a decade later. I never understood. I never understood why they let Brett Kulak. And it was like, oh, we like we want our third pair to be this or that. And you're like, right.

But that doesn't mean throw this guy away for nothing. I think they got an HL defenseman back for some of the three years because they traded him didn't they after our waivers he was not claimed which is idiotic on all other owners and teams like just like marty san louis had waivers for everyone and then gutts on as i recall there was a contract dispute there yeah there's a qualifying offer that the flames wanted him accept you want more of a raise and it's like okay we'll put you on waivers then it's like okay so you made your point yeah but still a decade later how much value could you have had i'm with pender on this and i can't stand the guy i can't stand the guy

and I was, I were in agreement. They let that guy go for F-all for no reason and just. You can't stand the guy? They didn't have a, they got a plethora of defensemen. No, you don't. No, you don't. And then they're flipping thirds and force for the Fantonbergs of the world. I said that guy, Jameson, who's in Columbus now.

They had him in Stockton for nothing. Free agent. Oh, right-handed defense, well, we could really use a right-handed defenseman that could skate. Oh, well, he's basically free and you can have them off. half them we don't need it's fine it's all right hello we're a we're absolutely screwed 100% f the fact of the matter is these pricks up to north are probably going to do it it sucks i hate it and yes we've got another decade of them continuing to be good and we don't have any stars to go up against them i've never said this gary we need another fucking locket let's go i'm done

with this week. We need a strike. I don't need this labor piece nonsense. I need this derailing whatever they're doing, just like it derailed you guys in 0405. Where the F is COVID when you need it? SARS? Avian flu?

We need something. We need something. God. Damn. Dean. Dean. It is not good. Well, at least they're really going to drag this out for about three weeks.

Yeah, let's have some. in play so you can build up the anticipation. Did you see how excited those jerks were? Yeah, because those mouth breather's been watching the best player toil for a decade, and they finally surrounded him with enough okay parts and a good coach. You got to have the three two goal. You got to have it. Acombe shot?

No, Arvinson. Oh. The Eichom is probably going with the actual second goal. 3-1 here you're in great shape Florida and then why well don't fall down low attire no worries everything's still fine just get up fine look out look at the white shirts they're everywhere you're fine what the age that's no

so it's Bobrovsky's fault you fucking knew it too 3-1 nice 3-2 shit yeah and the hippo tank was rocking early too they score like a buck 50 in or whatever is. Oh, the hippo tank. Right back 3-1 and now the hippos are back. Can you imagine how many beers were sold? Oh, God.

Inside and outside of that barn? Wow. Holy jumping. That was a big win. I wonder how many fights there were last night. Big of the win, more fights. Jesus, Bobber. Get out of your crease.

So 3-2 after two, right? Still fine, dude. You're still fine. They haven't lost for Christ. 31 and not. You're still fine. Stanley Cup. Oh, hang on.

Oh. Yes. You have to strike. Hello. Hello. What's happening? I'm sleeping up. I've got you.

We're doing the show. I have you on speakerphone on the show. Which is live? Correct. All right. And the answer is God. And the answer is God smack, by the way. It's done.

No, no. That was our thing. If we're ever on Jeopardy or something or the newlywed game, his favorite band of all time is God smack. God is just kind of. And it isn't, but it's just our answer. It's easy to remember, yeah. No, I need to, we got to, because we didn't want to talk about the fucking oilers.

So we were talking about anything else. And we got talking about food and steak sauce. And I wanted you to kind of elaborate because it's hideous and embassiesies. But every time we go to a steakhouse, what you do? I have to have HB sauce. It happened last night. Peter Lugar is at Caesar's fellas. I go to the guy and I go, oh, and, you know, Peter Lugar is kind of a fancy place, right?

And so I'm with this girl I'm dating here. And so Lisa is embarrassed to death because I said, hey, can I get some steak socks? He goes, he can't ask for steak sauce, Peter Lugers. I'm not eating steak. I'm not eating steak, we don't have no steak sauce. The guy goes, well, we have Peter Lugar's steak sauce. I go, yeah, okay. Brings it out and I go, yeah, this isn't going to work.

And so then the guy who, the one bartender says, well, I think I, in the back I saw a bottle of A1. Like, would that work? I says, oh, thank God, yes. Hey, I said, I'll pay you 20 bucks for it. I need it. Funny bucks. I need it.

We would go to a steakhouse. Beef, please don't ask for HPS. What do you like, I have to? No. Do you like the A1 in the States more than the A1 in Canada? Because I find it very different. It's a definite texture. It's a definite thickness difference.

But to me, HP is such a hard product to beat. That's the Stanley Cup with steak sauce. Well, okay. So it's HP. Have you had the UK version compared to the Canadian? And is it different, if so? The UK version. The UK version, the UK version, I had it in January when I said Heathrow.

And so when I, and you have it, in England, they have it on everything, eggs, everything, which I love. And I don't, I don't really see a difference between the Canadian version or the UK version. I don't really see a difference. I can't believe we're talking about this. Beef, beef loves more than anyone I know, beef loves condiments. If we would go and order nachos, the first thing we, yeah, could I get some more sauce? also please and then they would bring out like this little thing of salsa I went to uh

nacho daddy yesterday I was trying to fly on Hollywood and and and so the the girl brings me case so because I love caseo and and then they have this thing called non-stop salsa and chips for four dollars I said yeah I'm gonna take that as well too and then the salsa came and it's like this little like thumbnail of of salsa what is this by the way I says like this isn't gonna fly I said, it's like one chip. One chip and I'm done. Come on. You get like the Dixie Cup, the tiny little thing?

Just a cat full, right? Yeah, I say, what am I going to do with this? And I says, it says, nonstop salsa and chips. So why not just bring me out a bowl? So I don't have to make you go back and forth every two chips. So. And then hopefully, and then if you go back to the same place, you get them trained. Back to Nacho Daddy.

Bring out a bigger bowl of salsa and it will save them time and effort. Beef, series. Yeah. One of the first things I do when I always travel. And you've seen my photo on Twitter, Dino, is I phone Instagram. I said I need mustard. I need ketchup. I need vinegar.

And I need HP sauce. And then don't question. I can't get it. I can't get HP sauce in the States. I have to get A1. So, yeah. So I need that in my room. I need it.

Because when I order DoorDash, there's, you can't, on DoorDash, can't go get an extra mustard. Can I get vinegar? Nobody's got vinegar in the States. They think it's crazy, you know? And then getting ketchup sometimes is easy, but, like, yeah, without sauce, maybe I'd wait 80 pounds if I didn't have sauce because I just couldn't be able to eat. Is there a sauce at a steakhouse that is any good? Like, I know you're at HB. He's asking what the house steak sauces.

Is there a house steak sauce anywhere you've been that is okay? The keg has a great steak sauce, however, they're, after. you have cake steak sauce you got to make sure your timing is close to being around the bowl because it has a quick it has a quick reaction oh my god what what and i don't you may not want to share it what is your uh secret menu tip from the keg that uh only you know oh don't they'll close the hole don't let them tell the loophole well you mean like a hidden like like an in-and-o burger thing like a hidden menu item well it's it's the nachos right well it's yeah it's not on the menu you when you say it the keg you go hey because like most pigs you go to and like you know our buddy

jody's kid riley and i told them it says when you go to keg you can ask for nachos and riley now is just like some there's some keg down by auburn bay down that area i forget where it is and he goes they got they do have notches it's so excited it says yeah Yeah, I know. It's amazing. The keg has probably some of the best nachos in Canada and a restaurant. Really? Sneaky. Yeah, it is sneaky.

Hey, Beef, what do you think of... What do you think of... What do you think of... What do you think of... What do you think of bands like Streetheart or Prism or that? You got to be kidding me. Really? Is this a real question? Beef worked on FM radio and had to play Streetheart and lover boy over and over.

and he's been scarred for life. It's all, fuck. It just fucking killed me. I can't. Well, and the thing is, like, for, you know, Dino, you'd remember us. But, like, back of the day, we would get log, like, paper log sheets. And on the sheets, you know, at 1115, play this, 1119 play this. Then 1120, there's commercial break.

So then it'd be like, I would see this thing come up and go, blue rodeo try. I go, oh, my God. There's just no way I'm playing this song. And I would, and I would, and I would, and I would, I pretend to play it, right? I would just like, okay, I played it, right? And then we had our boss at the time, Ray Walker. And then Ray would always, he's the ultimate monitor, right? He would, like, always, he'd audit everything to death.

And he goes, yeah, at 1119, you're supposed to play Blue Roeo try, and you play Van Halen right now. Yeah, that's right. It's a much better song, you know? Yeah, you're right. There's no, yeah, it's a much better song. much better but then with and back for not to bore people the radio details but you have to play 30% Canadian music

so then you got like Hancon Harnequin you know thinking of you one more time street heart prism spaceship superstar oh god

Steamboat Annie Tell Steamboat Annie by heart that was Canccon in like less than 230 so whenever you were screwed at the end of there you could squeeze Steamboat Annie Yeah the hard songs would be considered Cancom with the percentage of you know if it's a room anyways okay

Hartick Hart is a band I could stomach I could I can't have it but probably my most hated band would be blue rodeo okay we'll get you out of here why are you in Vegas are you going to see Grimmer? No I'm actually

I come into recruit a couple American hockey guys like Kaylon Addison was down here and I'm trying to recruit a couple American hockey guys and trying to get Gage Queenie on board and trying to get these guys offers to go to Russia that's I'm trying to shooze those guys perfect not so daddy appreciate the call and then and then uh maybe uh i don't know i'm trying to find boogner you're giving him a coaching job in the russia but i don't know he's not

Yeah, I did the bald dog. It was a barefoot bald dog. Maybe he's not a soft guy. But it does feel like Tinkler used to drive guys nuts. You're like, again, like Peter Lugers, melt in your mouth, delicious. I'll send this. Catch a. I'll try.

Where's Peter Lugar? I don't know. This is New York. Fancy chain. Oh, yeah. It's one of the oldest steakhouses. I'll send this to Joe. America.

America. It's not a great crop job, but I don't want to. Go back. can watch that show. Which one? America. Oh, it's so funny. Yeah. I saw it on a stag like five years ago. We almost died. We were laughing so hard.

I might have to watch that. What age can the kids? Oh, you're going to wait a bit. 13. You know, I'd say there's a lot of sexual humor. In the annas? In the where? Did you see their marriage?

They're not humans. Sorry. Does he what? Do you see the thing I sent you? Yeah, I'll grab it right now. Holy my loser brother, only because the big beef's down there spending money like a drunken sailor. Yeah. My brother was down there. He went to the sphere last night and sent me the

price, the drink price list. Holy F. What's that the sphere right now? Kenny Chessna. Ah. So what's a, let's say you wanted to get a double dry soda. Well, before, we'll let Jack call that up. This was,

Here it is. This was on my buddy Beef's on his Facebook. When I travel, these five things Plus a fan. No peptos in there. Oh my God.

Finneker, how much vinegar are you going through? I like the fan. Oh, my God. He runs hot. So yeah. Temperature. He's never, he's never calling for an extra blanket. It's a fan.

Jeez. Now Bob Boobiner, I'll copy back. Russia. Yeah, booge like, gof. I'm insane. Beth. So, okay, so you've got the,

so you go to the sphere to see, Kenny Chesney. So you get your tickets for a steal. Oh my God. So a $27. U.S. margarita, a double rum Coke. We'll just hang on on the other side.

Because if we're going to a premium liquor, your double is going to be. $112. 112 bucks wow us prohibition i guess not great much drink you're paying for those LED panels on the outside i guess huh geez 20 bucks a beer american when you go into the 7-11 and get it for three last times are tough dean 30 bucks canadian for a beer times are tough right now All around. You're lucky that you're hanging out of ball time.

It's all you need to spit some water. Sunblock. He could have put water. I couldn't use some sunblock. We got to start making some of that home brew. Hootch. Start brewing in our bathtubs. Is this gin or what is this?

Yeah, I don't know. It's good. It'll get you both. Now what, Dean. Thank God, beef called. Yes. Yeah, save the show.

Timing is every. Save the show. He's been itching to get on for years. He has been, yeah. He probably wanted to have. You'd ask him what's his big hockey takes, but that's probably perfect. We're good now. And that went exactly.

That was perfect. I'm just waking up. I'm in Vegas. I went, had a steak last night and needed a... I was at Nacho daddy. Salsa. They said it was nonstop. It's a thumbnail of salsa.

Is there anything else? I think it's probably it. Gretzky's smart. Gwain? Yeah. Don't tell me he made a whole good job. million dollars again no no this is he was t and t was in the building last night again

this is after the second period when it is still three to two panthers mother them they're playing a really smart they're playing the rick talk of defense they got that forward in the middle they're giving him out outside corner's going to have to take it around the net or stop up and hit the late guy because they're cutting everything off going to the net

call him now great Thomas. Move aside. I've got a good player out now. Call him now. Let me tell you something. That's called luck. Look at you. You can have picked our numbers. You're all retired tonight. That's true. Oh, yeah. I couldn't even think of growing a beard.

That's the greatest playoff beard you've ever had. No, ever, ever. Mine was a wild west beard, a lot of open spots. Of course, it hits a stick on the way and lands perfectly flat. Always happens like that, right? Yeah. Best in the world. If you're Gretzky or McDavid. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I think people understand we're watching a Mount Rushmar player, right? Two of them. No. Like, I mean, in the history of the sport, there's four faces. Oh, well, yeah. Like, Connor has been, like, from moments into his first strides in the league, you knew he was going to be one of those four.

Like, we're talking about a player that's going to have. considerably more achievements in Sidney Crosby. On talent and skill alone, it's the greatest hockey player we've ever seen. I'm actually kind of serious. Just to, from your vantage point, but I kind of know how you're, I kind of feel like I know where you go. What did you think of the Panthers last night?

They were very good in the second, obviously. Well, they, he'll answer. Go ahead. That was awesome. Did he just say he knew what you were going to answer? Oh, I thought you're talking with the Mount Rushmore thing. No, you wanted our thoughts on the game.

No. Okay. What did I think of the Panthers? I thought the Panthers looked like the other teams, the Oilers had played. I thought the Panthers had times where it looked like, okay, this is a different animal. But then the Oilers decided to, no, you're not a different animal. We're going to do what to you, what we did to the other teams? And we're just going to take over, and I'm sorry.

Because the flip side opinion from last night was. Panthers were not great. They were just okay, and they were still a shot away from winning. That's fine. And I'm hoping that, yes, but Edmonton did to them what they've done to everyone. Yeah. They just decided you're not allowed to have it and took it. Now, were they lucky with the, maybe they still won the game.

They still outshot the shit out of them. They hit them as hard. And as much as the, right, like it wasn't like they were, I would think they were more physical. Maybe I'm wrong, but. And maybe you don't maybe expect it more for the panthers so you see it differently. So I tell me what the Oilers are doing. Skinner was decent. Like I didn't think the Panthers.

Well, I didn't think they deserve to win and they weren't good enough. And I thought it was very. The problem with playing this team is going to be even when you're up, you cannot slow. You can't sit back. You can't take a half breath. At all. The advantage is to play them in their end. and you cannot sit on a lead.

They taught us that in game one of the playoffs when L.A. was way ahead. They came storm back and you're like, let that be the lesson. You cannot take one breath. You have to. You have to continue to forecheck and keep your speed. You can't sit back and wait for them to come at you as soon as it happened. I thought they came out in the overtime and had a bit of a push to start, but the final 15 was all Edmond's.

They look tired in the second overtime. You can't be tired. They just had a fucking week off. I don't need your excuses tired. I'm not saying they are. I'm just saying they look to. They're one team look more tired. They're tired because Edmonton's running the piss out of them and controlling the play.

You're reacting to them. And the way to combat it and the only way teams have success is to play the oilers in their end. And you can't sit back ever. Yeah. Whole game. Sorry. You're going to be bagged and you might run out of gas and you might lose because of that too. But if you think you're just going to sit in your end and not happening.

They've lost four games in the entire playoffs. and I can tell you about each of them. They rally back after getting dominated for most of game one. They rally back in game two against L.A. and end up an overtime game sinks to them, but they came back in a race another deficit. The Vegas game, they scored with 0.4 seconds left. They weren't trailing.

It was over at the buzzer. And in the Dallas game, they allowed five power play goals in the third period. If they're ever behind, they just come back. And they're not often behind. The only way to beat these guys is to stun them late and come from behind on them, it seems. And then in the other games that they won,

they were winning them by three or more goals. Handily. That said, I got back from kid baseball at the second intermission, and the scoring chances and the high quality chances were leaning Florida's way through 40. They had the statistic. Slot chances. And the physicality, this is, you know,

for the small, the two periods I saw live, it's the only team that has at least master been in the same neighborhood physically as the Oilers, whereas Dallas wasn't interested in doing it. Vegas couldn't for whatever reason. And L.A. at the start of the series did, but then ran three lines and two pairs and ran out of gas. Yeah, I would say the Oilers were as physical, if not more so.

And they certainly, if you want to whatever, however you see it, they did not shrink under any pressure from Florida. They are focused. Yeah. They look so dialed in. You have the greatest player that we'll ever watch in our lives, absolutely obsessed with getting a cup. And despite all the nonsense he's had to put up with,

they're finally he had a spot where he can win this thing. I'm talking about flushing millions on this guy or bad trade here. I don't think those are the topics of the day. No, but it's like they're finally here. You almost fumbled the bag on the greatest player of all time. But here they are. It's the chance. Four in a row now.

We can look at it. There was a goal in overtime. And I called it. My kid. I'm sitting watching with my kid. I'm saying, where the fuck is Jones going? Boom, boom, boom, goal.

Yeah. 51 hits each, by the way. So very similar physically. But the Panthers are supposed to be the big, bad panthers. I'm just saying that the Oilers are not intimidated by the Panthers. No, a lot of teams have been. The Oilers have been the most physical team in every series they played it. Where are you going, Jones?

Barkoff, block the pass. You're taking away a pass to the net. Like literally to the net. The lane that you've taken is a pass that would hit the net. Jack. rewind that back. Let's get the whiteboard going. So which one is Jones?

I thought they had it here too. Jones is number three. Go ahead. Is it offside? Can we, no, it's not too late for a right. Stop.

You're in good shape. I like that they're putting pressure because I think the oilers are too good. They might beat you even if you do pressure, but they will beat you if you don't. It's your only chance of a clear. If you don't pressure them,

you're just going to get gas for two minutes. Go ahead. back to the point good push stop where Jones comes from out of view chasing up this is not a good pressure because you're not in position to pressure and now you're caught way too high go see where stop that's your blue man let your forward come back and take that right and now they start salivating because because Jones the rule always is if your partner goes you go So Jones pushes, now the net front defenseman Fs up, he should recognize, well, he shouldn't have pushed. But because he did, I'm going to push.

Now he pushes into the corner and is nowhere to help. And Barcoff's got to come back and he takes the wrong lane on blocking the pass. Go ahead. They almost get there, but it's a two on one in tight, the two of the best players. Yeah, I mean, it's not a stop. It's not the worst breakdown you've ever seen in your life. See, those are the two of the greatest players we'll watch in our lives. It's insane they don't have a thousand cups already, but it's hard to not imagine them winning.

Look at this. It's two on one here. How do you do that, boys? Cover them. Barcov takes away a pass that isn't a threat pass. You should be laying down here. This is a desperation time because McDavid might go around you and make the pass anyway, but you, what? Look at where he's, see what I mean?

He doesn't know where Leon is. and he's not taking away the lane and Marcians to dive, lazy prick. And he's one of the best goal scorers in the world on the receiving end of a little saucer. Go back again. From the start

of this possession they were confident right okay go back. Right here. Moving real slow. As soon as it gets to that guy on the half wall and Joan starts coming, they're like yes, you just bit. okay they're eating it up perfect yeah falk him perfect perfect perfect i've got that other clip jack

if you want to run it and it it pains me to just because we know cori perry he's at an unbelievable playoff this is he is slow but his brain and hands for the most part is the jones shouldn't be coming this uh and just this little behind the back sees mac david and I'll show on the replay here. It's just a little right there. It's a great little play. He's got space. And to your point,

the two worst men on the planet. Yes. I don't know who could be scarier than those two in that spot. Okay, go back one more time, Jack. Just a little bit to the corner there. Right there. No, just before that. Defenseman, stick on puck in the corner.

Where's meek no before that we'll drop pass right there where's his stick yeah that defenseman's puck it's on the wrong hand side right do you see what I'm saying dean yeah stick on puck where's you reaching to mekela it's guessing he's thinking he's going back up the wall did eugen Hopkins I guess but stick on puck great play by edmondson great play that power play is horrifying. Because it's always been a good power play and we've seen it click at like 30% in the regular season and even better than that in the playoffs. But I don't know, clearly you have the best player we'll ever watch in our lives on one side.

You've got one of the most elite finishers and greatest goal scores in the game today in Drysiddle who can beat you from a foot off the goal line in the corner. But what changed it all in the last two, three years for me is that now you have probably the best power play defensemen with them. because Bouchard's got great hands and vision, but more than anything, he's got a weapon of a shot that he gets through. It's not Dionne Fonoff,

hitting field goals, putting it over the net at 95. They're always on net and they're lasers. And so when you have those three pieces, I almost don't care who the other two are. It can be your grandpa or your uncle in snow boots. They're still going to let you up because there's just too many guys in different spots.

You can't cover everyone. Like Bouchard, Barry to Bouchard is such a huge upgrade for them. and Barry wasn't a bad player when he left. It's just, I don't know who's better at running a powerpoint on the blue line in the NHL. And you add it to the two best offensive players. Will McCar would be all right, but I see what, you're not, yeah.

And McDavid's the auto zone entry. He gathers steam in his own end. So yeah, he either drives, embarrasses a guy, or he dumps it off someone on the wall. He's a one man's own entry. Poor Dion taking a stray there for no reason. One of a kind. He'll be shocked. He got to get on Netty.

He loves booster juice. Big Dion. Lexing glasses are quivering when the power. I could go for boost juice. Yeah. Jack would buy us one, but he won't. Florida wins game two. Perfect.

All right in the world. And again, like it's, it's peak pain in Calgary today. You're one bounce from winning that game if you're the Florida Panthers. That's a fact. You know, it's the one save you asked for that you didn't get. Well, how great is Dave Dickinson? Hey? Love Dave.

Man, that's an icon. Yeah. Such a good guy. We'll have that conversation coming up. Hamburger is a good guy. Better like sandwiches. It's better not be a whole sandwich. You know what?

He probably like sandwiches because sandwiches in the States are real good. I love sandwiches. My kid asked to stay home from school today. Is that right? He asked. Because of last night. Oh. He's like,

I don't want to walk the house. He's a big Pantero's guy. He's a panther's guy. And there's a lot of loser parents out there that allow their kids to cheer for Even while they live in Calgary. I was right in the belly of the beast on the weekend. Oh, you couldn't go anywhere with some donkey in a jacked-up truck

with a nine slags going. Yeah. Oh, you're an oil. Is that right? Oh, so you're going to watch the game on Wednesday? What are you cheering for? Dickhead. He's a I-A-D-H.

And you know what? Enough with... No, go ahead. We like to pick on people. this whole Rogers thing hey Canada's team they had that one like one of their ads is about a loser putting on his face yes give me a break now we go live too a half three hours to get the paint on what a hero what a hero can he walks amongst us Canadian that fucking ginger loser you're not allowed to follow we're on the internet it's suspended for lunch

No airplane jokes. Come down over there. You know that Jack Walker got suspended for calling again. No, he got in trouble, but I don't think he got. Did he get suspended? He got suspended. I was there. Did he paid leave?

That's the good stuff. I was there. He's paid. That's a win. I'm not sure. Walk should be talking about anybody's here. That was unreal. Now you're all of a sudden glad I put that on the show.

How good is Kretzky? Like I can watch the video and go, he should have done this. Gretzky's watching the name going, oh, he's going to, he's going to do this or he should do this. There's so much going on in a game. And for those few guys ever, they just see it. It's still slow for a reason. No, and they just, they know where things are going. He's like, how? Okay, well, we're going to have to draw you out here. Chase me around than that. And I'll find someone back door. Oh, I'm the guy chasing him. Get back here, you son of it. Okay, well, that's, uh, there you have it. Opening statements.

a little bit. Like we got to the Pinda report, then the interview. Let's get it going here. Yeah. Find it up. Yeah. Hey, congrats to Benny on, it's got 12 playoffical, new Florida Panthers record. It's in the Penderport. Congrats to Benny. I'm telling you. He's going to get paid, man. Or he's going to stay in Florida. I asked Wox.

I'm intrigued to know what doesn't trust you. What Gould's take is. We have to read. That's a team. I am. I will listen. We're done here. We're sitting at the ball diamond.

Maybe sooner. Love it. Love it. Yeah. Well, Maybe it is time for some pikes. I don't know. Well, you never started.

because this one's about you. You persevered through the hardest things, and you just... lead by example and this one's just celebrating your character and how good of a person you are. I know John is so proud of you. Winning that Bill Masterton Trophy means a lot to me. It's a real big honor. It's a lot of special names on that trophy and the meaning behind it. Something I take great pride in in day-to-day life, being on a team, being a father, a husband. It's a special thing and obviously fresh right now, but something I'm doing.

definitely going to be reflecting on a lot. Congratulations, Sean. Nice to see. Meredith. I'm going out with that so that I don't have to. I was going to say that got me for sure. So I don't have to sit here and sniff. I'll say that, you know what?

And not even little perspective there. Yep. That's Meredith's pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. And good on Monty. That's a long road back from a lot of injuries. and he's been obviously a huge part of them getting through this thing. Awesome.

Congrats. Let's move along. Rockies. So good at baseball. Yeah. They might have had 41 wins. And we love baseball. That burner.

Bat burner. Suck it, Scottie Schaeffler. You're now three back. Cushing. Since June 2nd, what are you been doing, dude? Come on, buds. It's the fifth. No, they did tee it up today.

at TBC Toronto. I don't think Sheple's in the field. He could fall way behind. He really could. Rocky's just taken Scott into the woodshed. Man, you could have made some money on that. Yeah. Can we go right to the golf right now just because we mentioned it.

It is the RBC Canadian Open at TBC Toronto. TNC Toronto. Which I didn't know was the thing until a couple years ago. I didn't know a lot. It doesn't look great. But this is McKenzie Hughes, one of a bunch of Canadians. Well, look at the weather. Oh, it's been shit there all spring.

194. I love golf. Really going to be good this year. Good at it. Oh. It's a good at it. That's an eagle, boys. It's better than a birdie.

It went right in the cup. Yeah, the tiny little hole. Is it what they call it? Five minute walk away? Did it a cup. Cup. Cope? Sure.

Yeah. Pretty impressive. And a final couple here. Okay. For the dumb stuff. Two days away from the home opener. Stampeders continue to roll out names of people that will be in attendance. Flutie, Cornish, Crandall, Singleton, Nick Lewis,

Jermaine Copeland, Mark McLaughlin, family of Normie Kwan, all going to be there at the 80th birthday party. Saturday 5 p.m. Nice. Weekend for Calgary Sports. You could literally do. Surge Friday, Stamped Saturday, Cavalry Sunday, Local Sports Triple Heather weekend. Love it. How good is that?

Love a 5 o'clock start? Yes. And they're doing happy hour beers I saw. Oh, love. There you go. East, East end zone. Oh,

very nice. You know you're a fine pender. I think I've got my kids at some sort of a birthday party Saturday. I think you should ditch him. You don't need to wake up in a dumpster. Is it a birthday where you invited to the birthday or were the kids invited? No, the kids. Not me.

They're not five anymore. You can leave. Look at this good looking fella. Look at them. Hey, Stamps fans. Doug Flutie here. So excited to be back in Calgary. Saturday, June 7th for the Stamps

home opener to celebrate 80 years of Stampeders football. We'll see you then. Go Stamps. God, he was good. Do you remember him as a writer's man? You would have hated him. Oh, he was good. He was so good. Under pressure, we got him now. I didn't like a college either. Really? Remember what it was like when the best

player in the game played on your favorite team? Yeah. Those are good times. Those are good days. Those are sweat. Fun to be a fan. It is. One of the best players on your team, right? Yeah, you relish those. You'd probably be like high on your horse and pretty cocky walking around,

wearing your gear everywhere, rubbing it and everyone else's face, being a prick. If you asked for it, I wouldn't be sudden. He's beauty. Okay. He's hesitating because he knows how bad it is. I was thinking about this yesterday. How do I segue to this? What are we got?

Well, I won't say it. you know what the clip is? I can't read my writing. He's just hurting. Dude waking. Dude traveling. This is the walking dude. All we do is come in and bullshit about sports teams and be grumpy old men all day.

This guy at least is walking around the world. Right now, I'm walking from England to Vietnam. And this is the route that I've taken so far. And the route that I'm going to take. On the 16th of September, 2024, I started walking from Stratford up on Aven, to France and then into Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. I then headed into Austria, Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria. I'm now in Greece. I'm heading into Turkey tomorrow.

It's going to take me about two months to cross Turkey, where I'll then head into Georgia, Azerbaijan and then take a ferry to Kazakhstan. This is where I'll face logistical nightmares going hundreds of kilometres without food and water. The long stretch of Uzbekistan, crossing over into Afghanistan, Pakistan, and then over India. Why am I doing this? To prove that normal people can do great things and to have the adventure of a lifetime. I'll then cross into Bangladesh, Myanmar, and down through Thailand. Navigating 40 degree heat and rainy season, I'll then cross into Cambodia, Vietnam,

from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi, where I'll finish my journey. That's insane. That's not around the world. It's not even a third. It's 13,000 clicks. Is that what I want? So what's the point of this? I take my truck to get the mail to prove that ordinary guys could do great things.

things red. It'd be like walking Argentina from here. So there's two things. He's walking, which isn't great. It's nothing. We can walk. I hate walking. I don't think the walking is in distance.

This guy's not. And he'll be dead when he hits that Uzbekistan. Yeah. He's not going to live through that. Yeah. They're like, hey, there's no maps here. And I don't have food or water.

It's only going to be two months of this. He went for a walk and die. Yeah. There's a very bad people here. Way to go. Mike Gould. Mike. Mike's like what was the other part

was there something else I forget and finally some guy went full jack on us I just don't like it when people try to one up you yeah they're really oh you're walking hey way to go get a load of me

you can't afford a flight cheap prick you want to ride what an inspiration I can give you a lift yeah you loser no I'm going to walk to Kizbekistan fuck go ahead I remember when Jack told us you did the 999

and 30 minutes crushed it easy he's a loser And this guy tried to do the first inning challenge, six outs in the first inning, right? Three for each half. Six hot dogs, six beers, six outs. Let's see what he does. Six hot dogs, six beers, six outs. Fuck your 99.

Challenge. We're going to get this done. One hot dog down. One hot dog now. We're trying to do six beers, six hot dogs, six outs. This is a first inning challenge. We've got a hospital here. You got a hospital.

The nine nine nine is so fucking easy, bro. You need to... Three dogs down. You're a few of... Joe, I'm filming on your phone and a text just popped out from... It says, hottest that tune ever. It says, K-Ussess oil.

That's so funny. Better is offering $10 new user bonus. All right. Oh, tomorrow. Double play, and that's not going to help you. Are you okay? Are you? I don't think he's going to be able to do it.

Joe to fail up to minus 500. No one's quitting. No one's fucking quitting. He needs to be, he needs to be five beers, five dogs in. Jojo fails to six beers, six dogs, six out of town. Gotta be quick. So two losers back to back. Well, that reminds us of Jack it was a loser on Friday.

It took him three hours to do what this guy did in about 20 minutes there. I actually wonder, though, if that's, I think I could do that challenge. I think that's almost, you just, hang on. how many dogs did you eat last Friday over three hours? Five. And you're thinking you can do six in 20 minutes? I don't think it matters. I think you can either get the volume in you and whether it's one hour or two is irrelevant almost.

It's a volume thing because you're not disposing of much. Right? So if you can get it in you, it's just as easy to do it in an hour. The quickest part of the 999 is the beginning. You could absolutely floor it. I just, Jackson's sane if he thinks, Oh, I got tapped out at five over three hours, but I'll do six and 20.

What are you talking about? See, it doesn't. It's like 10 minutes of commitment. You know what he is? He's, you saying, Bolt. He's a sprinter. I'm a sprinter. He's not a long distance from a guy.

Why didn't he sprint last Friday? He was a sprint. He wasn't, why did you stop at five? You see, you can go to six. He's not a marathon guy. That was a marathon. You know, Char? You're a quitter.

Yes, that's correct. Jack, I think you could do it. It's one way to find out. I think you could do it, Jack. Get Casey on the fall. Can we call it? Go back to Greta. He goes, dogs.

Talk about baseball. Because Casey up to bat, right? Yeah. Who's on first? I don't know. What? Is that it? That's it.

Been a report. That's. Just losers at the end. So do a Walker. It's okay. Listen, six, six. I don't mind it. I was going to, I was going to say, that's not nice to say.

And then zero? You're going to scale of 100 to your 100 to zero. You're not 80.20. The gods have been involved in this for too long. And for some reason, the gods like Edmonton, because the gods gave Edmonton Gretzky and Messier and Curry and whoever else, and Ryan Smith. Right.

And then, of course, the gods decided. that so you know what it is it's the fans they're making the right sacrifices flames fans you're not doing enough talked to got to kill the chicken yesterday trying to help and he's really happy after 40 but i don't know you got to go back to the drum something yeah that was me it was a it was a pocket of chicken but i killed it any so good good plural yeah good sacrifice not sure it had quite the effect it was i was looking for i guess you they in that respect it's a live chicken you're supposed to kill at some point i just heard kill at some point i just heard kill a chicken so i had a family dropped it off at the clock cleaver family bucket yeah i don't know i can't carry on like

That said, we were all anticipating and preparing ourselves for the Toronto Maple Leafs to be in round. We don't have to prepare ourselves for what I don't think is going to happen. And that being, the Panthers coming on and taking this series. We don't need to prep for that.

We'd be happy to be surprised. We'll just be part of it. Yeah, okay. We'll just, right? It's, is there anything we can do to help this point? We have to prepare for the downside. The apocalypse is coming. Maybe we could get AI involved and they could shut some stuff down.

Yeah. It's a good chance. I haven't known this for a chance for all that happening.

All right. Stampeters, Hamilton Ticats, Saturday, 5 p.m., 80th birthday party, the long time and hugely respected GM and head coach is Dave Dickinson. It all gets going on Saturday. It is already June 7th somehow. I'm not sure. It's also this man's 17th, 9 is head coach, third is GM. 3rd in franchise history.

Holy Dave Dickinson. It's a lot of football. I mean, I've been doing this a while now. Good to see you. How you've been? Well, listen, we're all pretty excited over here. So excited for the season, like you said,

sometimes when you have been in the same spot and in the same league for a while. I think change helps. You know, we have a lot of change in our organization, and I believe everyone's excited to get this year going. Yeah. You know, and we'll get into that. We talk in sports as far as athletes.

You want to be a one jersey or a one team. Maybe there's some pride. Do you kind of feel that, although, I mean, as a player, you obviously played elsewhere. But now as, I mean, you're so linked to the stamps now. You've been the coach and the Gia. Is there pride in that as well? Or is tougher in coaching, of course?

No, I mean, I preach loyalty, you know, and it's not, there's not a lot of it in sports anymore, you know. And essentially, I'm trying to preach that. And I feel like I've lived that, but very appreciative for my opportunities. And I'd like to stay here as long as they'll have me. I want to win, though. So like the bottom line is you work this hard, you put in this much time, make it count. Well, and the thing about the stampeters, I still think that there's such a measuring stick.

You guys are the bar by which a lot of teams kind of measure. And it's, or at least it was. And last year, big disappointment, 5, 12, and 1, missed the playoffs for the, the first time in 20 years. And you always hear teams, it's unacceptable. We're not going to, we're making changes. Well, you guys, the talk is not cheap. You made sweeping changes.

Coaching rooms are different. Your QB room has been overhauled completely. Your starters are going to be, you need to buy a program on Saturday. Let's say that. So the changes have been made. How do you feel heading into week one compared to a year ago, knowing that you've made all these changes, obviously, with the hope of being better? Yeah. So I think change does, you know, brings energy, but it does bring stress as well.

Because when you're used to each other and you know what to expect and you kind of, you've already established the standard, all those things. It's a little bit easier when you have veterans and you have the same group. But I like what our coaching staff has done. Yeah, we have eight of the 10 guys basically in different spots. So it definitely has been a different training camp. But I feel a different energy as well. And I think the players have responded to it. You know, I'm now able to, you know, not have a program but early in campus and really checking my roster out as well.

I mean, I'm not sure we're going to have 12 new starters on defense, but we could. That's crazy talk. You know, you just don't do that. But we did bring in some real good CFL vets. You know, we will have with flow showing up here, Derek Moncrief, Damon Webb, Miles Brown. We have some really good CFL players. In fact, you know, I do feel like we still have that veteran professional. presence in the room. They just haven't been with us necessarily the previous year.

But that could be good because like you said, it wasn't our year. We didn't have, we didn't play to our standard. So we needed to change. I'm totally with you on the energy thing. You bring a whole lot of new people. They're going to be excited to play the first game for the stamps. And it means guys are fighting for where they are in the pecking order and what positions mine. The flip side is that probably comes with a bit of trepidation about how is this all going to come together. So how does it feel after training? camp and how was training camp at sort of building your confidence in this new group?

So definitely the trepidation is there for me because I don't necessarily feel like we can just have a lot of time to gel. We know what the situation was last year. I was part of that. So, you know, I feel like we do need to start fairly fast and we need to show improvement each and every game and we need to win some games. So it's not like we're sitting here on a total rebuild and we're all comfortable in our seats. We know we've got to get going. We got to We've got to win games. So I do like the energy. I do like the camaraderie.

I do think the guys are a tough physical group with a lot of talent. I do think we will push people and they'll know they play the Calgary Stampeders. But are we going to step up and rise up in prime time? Are we going to do the right things to win games? That was what we didn't do in the past. Let's see what this group does. Is it the same ingredients to bake the cake if you're trying to have a winning CFL team in 2025.

You've been doing this for so long now. I don't mean to make it sound old. I'm older than you are either. Oh, you're olding me. Anyway, it's not about that. I just want, you know, does the, you know, suddenly this may be this aspect is more important or we need more veterans or youth or speed.

We want athletes and good people. We know all that. But is it maybe a little bit different now than maybe even 10 years ago? I'm going to tell you what, you know, you win and lose a lot of time with your quarterback play. I mean, I would consider it like in hockey with the goalies. You can get by. If you've got the best players on the ice,

then you've just got a solid goalie, you'll get by. And you'll win a lot of games. But we feel like for us, our quarterback room, we've got to make sure we're at one of the top in the league. We want to make people try to defend the entire field. We want to use our feet more. We want to be a dual threat quarterback. We've got lots of guys in the room that we think can do that now.

And now we just got to make sure the two things, I think you wouldn't lose football games. is turnovers, we call it own the ball. If we get more than them, we're going to win a lot of games and then penalties. Can we keep our poise? Can we play a rough, tough game without necessarily taking dumb penalties? We do those two things. I think we have enough talent in the room.

I know we've got guys that are all in, you know, I do believe we win a lot of football games. So tell us about the Vernon Adams acquisition. How did it come to be? We obviously see Rourke show up there and you're like, okay, how many chefs do they need in the kitchen? They also go over the cap that gets you another pick. Thank you, BC. But, you know, how long have you been trying to acquire and what have you seen since he's gotten into town?

You know, we knew we were making a change at quarterback. So that was going to be an obvious thing there. We wanted it to be VA. We weren't exactly sure. BC still had the cards. They could have traded up to anybody, really. So we thought we made a pretty good deal. We didn't even give up a first rounder for a guy that I think was potentially

midway through the season, for the MOP. I've liked running for a long time. I've wanted to work with him. You know, when he's going, he's right up there with anybody. He can run. He can pass. He's tough. He's crafty. He has energy. He has leadership. Guys gravitate towards him. And when he's going, I believe he's as good as anybody. The one thing that gets him sometimes by running and he's not the biggest guys or injuries. And then once you're not maybe as mobile, you're not running and take that away from your game. Sometimes his games, you know, its production has dropped a bit. So he's excited to be here.

We got him. And then we really felt good with the PJ Walker deal we made last year as well. We think that was a heck with trade with Toronto. I think I've got myself a guy that could easily be a starter in our league and a damn good starter. So the difference with our quarterback room this year is I just feel they're more athletic. You know, we can push the ball down the field more. And I just believe ultimately will be a better team. That's going to be probably the most noticeable change, won't it?

Just the quarterback dictates just how the offense looks and how the offense plays. I just think for fans that show up on Saturday, maybe they get to a few games a year, that's going to be, you know, we're not going to shovel dirt to anybody that was here before, but he's a dynamic playmaker. And that's just, there's a real potential for some excitement there. Yeah, and I think, you know, he's a little bit of a riverboat gambler. I mean, he's okay with taking chances. Bo Levi, the guy will be playing against is certainly right in that category.

So, you know, sometimes with Bo, I remember he'd make a throw and be like, I'd all be like, oh, and then it was so perfect. We still completed it into two guys covering. I'd be like, yeah, Bo, that was a hell of a trouble. I think Vernon's got some of the same attributes. I mean, he does gamble. You know, like I said, we still want to own that ball, but I don't think that he's going to be scared to take his chances down the field.

and we brought in a bunch of size, a bunch of physicality of receiver. That seems to be the guys that have worked best with him because he will take those chances. And he has clicked in his one preseason game, he looked really good. Yeah, let's talk about the receivers. I knew Damien Alford, the first overall pack,

6-6. When you lay eyes in this guy and he shows up and puts on the red and white and he's got the horse on the helmet, 6-6 at the receiver's spot is, That's almost a unicorn for the C&A. The worst part on him is he pulled his hamstring a couple weeks ago. He hasn't really been going the last two weeks.

Now, he is starting to practice. For me, he's the one that hamstrings are dicey too because, you know, if you get him in there a little sooner and they really, really go, now you're looking at months. But he's 6'6 and runs well, but we still have, we signed Dominic Rimes. He's 6'4.5. 7 Jones, 6.2. really, to be honest, we don't have any receivers under six foot that aren't basically strong.

Jalen Philpott's probably the smallest guy and he's one of our most dynamic playmaker type of guys. So can we stretch the ball down the field? Can we push the ball vertical? But also go ahead and try to tackle us after we catch the ball. Go ahead and when we throw our wide receiver screens or our running back screens, these guys are big men that can block you. And so that's got to be the strength of our team. And for us to win, they've got to play well.

For fans, they'll be very excited to see some familiar faces and some old faces for the 80th birthday party on the weekend. Doug Flutie's coming back. I remember being a kid watching Doug Flutie and obviously yourself, Henry Burris. There's a long line of Hall of Fame quarterbacks that pass through. Also, more recently, Alex Singleton, he's going to be back. It's a really nice name of guys coming back, but you're the coach. And this is game one with the new group. Are you going to find some time to shake some hands and maybe tip a beer?

or is it just all business here? No, I'm kind of a bit of a loser on the drink. I just found it's the easiest way for me to cut calories is not to drink. So, but no, I got, I know Doug's going to be in the day before the game. Him and Hoffer are playing some golf together with Jay McNeil. And so he needed a set of clubs, so he hit me up. So that was cool. I talked to Alex.

You know, Alex to me really does a lot of things that have been, went well in his career. You know, part of it is obviously him. He's just a great player. But there is something to be said for, you know, buying into the CFL, coming up here embracing his Canadian nationality, even though he's never really lived in Canada, and just basically using the CFL to take his game to a new level and have great success in the NFL.

And he's been an ambassador for our city. But a couple other guys, Nick Lewis and Jermain Copeland Copeland. I haven't seen Jermaine Cope in a long time. I'm excited for those guys. Mark McLaugh is going to be here from the 98 team that I was on. I held the game winning field goal on that. I haven't seen Mark in a long time. We say Cornish and Marcus Crandall will be in as well.

So there's just a really, really good group. The 71 team and the 48 team, I think we're trying to get some guys that more, unfortunately, you know, like sons. It's harder to have as many guys as a long time ago. Now, those guys are old, by the way. You'd say I'm old. Those guys that are old.

But thinking back, I think Wayne Harris, John Hilton, on that 71 team, some great players. There's Herm Harrison has passed, but he was the guy that in my mind, I think, is that generation. 48, you got me. I don't know. Maybe Sugarfoot. Maybe Sugarfoot would have been the best player on that team.

I don't know, but certainly a lot of tradition and a lot of things that I like. I was just going to say, single since he's still got the long hair, can we throw some pads on him? Maybe sneak him in there with all the changes you made on the defensive side. Not cleared yet. Last year, he blew his ACL in the first game. And he's played the whole game and I'd like both tackles.

And he's cleared next week. to go to be Alex Singleton, which is awesome. But yes, he still has the hair from what I understand. And I haven't seen him a while either. I think it's been like 2019 since he came up last, where we did our Great Cup banner after 2018. So it'd be good to see Alex. I was just, just before we move off from that,

I just, you talk about characters. I mean, I can only imagine to be the coach and you go into that locker room sometimes. And, you know, guys are yipping and hollering. There's nothing, it's completely, it's not a hockey. room. It's not a baseball clubhouse. There is nothing like a football locker room. And I just think of Nick Lewis, one

of a kind. Germain Copeland, he's just one of my favorite guys among all those personalities. He was like great on the field. And just so, Stavis have had some amazing characters go through those doors. Yeah, I definitely was not

one of them. Like I was, it was weird because I was, you're like, I was like all business. Like, even if we won, I was already think about the next game. I should just sometimes slow down and enjoy it. He even saw after our preseason arc, guys, everybody had their cowboy hats. The thing about it is sports is too tough to just go out there and play. We need to win. So you're talking characters, these guys always won. I mean, we just put a, they showed up. Nick, Nick honestly Lewis to me is one of the guys. I mean, he laid it on the line.

Him and like Charleston Hughes. I just remember body types. They don't look like they're muscular, this stuff. They just laid it on the line over and over and over and did the right things. And, you know, we miss him and he's got a lot of things going on. I think Nick's probably, you know, if you see him at the game, he fits into more of the O-line category right now. He's definitely not the receiver body type, but haven't seen Co. Rambo.

I thought that group of receivers, I haven't seen Rambo Kenyon for a lot of years. Another character that I really believe is one of the super. people of the world. So fun to get back together with the old friends. We all remember the Marshall and Lynch. I'm just here so I don't get fined. I'm just here so don't get fined. I was in the locker room post game one time. And of course, Nick didn't get the ball as much as Nick thought he should have gotten the ball in that game. And all he said was, you know, you know, his answer to every question was, you know, you know. He's a good teammate, though, to be honest. What, what received, what great

receiver doesn't have a little bit of that. You want it, right? The great swan the ball. Listen, you're out there for 60 plays and you might touch the ball seven times if you have a good game, 70 times. I mean, and if you only get two chances or something like that, yeah, it's probably really something that you feel. But Nick made

impacts it lots of other ways. His blocking real is just the murder. Like, it's, you put on bars if you watch it blocks. There's no Nick Lewis running a route pointing to tell the quarterback where to throw it. It's not. I'm He's telling the quarterback, don't throw it to me.

Throw it to the guy that's going to be open. He understood coverages as well as anybody. What your interactions with Flutie like coming up into the league? Obviously, he's a star when the CFL at that time, you saw the Argos open at the NFL for Rocket Ishmael, like weird things were happening. He was a part of some really high profile teams here in Toronto. And then you guys shared a locker room in San Diego together

when you were both with the Chargers when you left the CFL for a bit. Like, what's your, what's your relationship like with Doug? And how was it at the beginning? So at the very beginning, you know, not to be too rude, but Doug went to Toronto. I was on Toronto's nag list. They traded for me. And I was kind of undersized white guy, maybe shorter guy. I definitely didn't have the same skill set as Doug.

But people were, like, kind of trying to, like, compare just because of size. And I don't have his game. I mean, the guy's amazing. One of the great athletes, but also. the true competitors. Didn't really get to know them that well until San Diego, but spent a year and a half. Him,

spending with Doug Drew Brees and myself, it's just a really good group to, because we're all built, we're not big, big man, and yet I would put competitiveness up against anybody. But really, stayed in touch with Doug. He's really the guy that I look up to.

I mean, I don't know if you guys know this. He ran the Boston Marathon a couple years ago. I think he's like, I mean, he's approaching 60. And Doug doesn't run marathons. He just does it because he's part of that community.

And I told him, I saw the finish line. And look, he made it when he was hurting. And he says, sometimes I just do things to prove I can do them. And that's Doug Flutie in a nutshell to me. He's, you know, anything he does, he's just going to obviously compete and be the best version of itself. And pretty humble guy. I think for all the success he's at, he's a pretty humble guy. He just enjoys being in his being in the moment.

and always really had a good time being a part of the teams that he was part of. Yeah, I might pick up some garbage and throw it in the trash of him walking down the sidewalk. That's me giving back to my community. Doug's running marathons. It's a little different. Well, he is New England now. He finished his career with Patriots. I mean, he's ingrained in that community big time.

Yeah. We don't need to get back into this year's team. But I just think, you know what? You put it out there. I started the conversation by saying a lot of teams. teams can, you know, we just, we're not going to stand for this and it's not acceptable. And the, our logo were better than that. I mean, you made some tough calls.

There were some of, I just know some of the players that were traded or let go and some of the coaches that left that they've been here a long time. That, that's putting the team first. And that's not easy to do. That had to have been in a lot of ways. And I'm guessing for a lot of those guys very hard for you. Yeah. So essentially, I feel like all of us, you. Everybody was kind of let go.

A new organization went a different direction. They just hired me as a new head coach because there's no people here that were really around. Even we did difference in the front office. It made changes everywhere. And I feel very fortunate that they felt that I was capable to lead a new group of men and a new group of coaches. I think, obviously, I have a track rate. I know I can do it. I'm excited to give it an opportunity.

But it does feel like, yeah, it's brand. new. It's just, I'm just in the same city. It's a new head coach, but it's not because I'm in the same city, but this organization made change. And they just said, you lead it and find the right people to make those changes. And I've actually changed. I'm doing more on the defensive side of the ball. I'm trying to be more involved in other areas as well as in scouting and finding things. A tough decision, you let good football players go, you let good coaches go. And you just understand that that's the reality of what happens in sports. Sometimes you just, you just, you just, you just need people in a different city.

You need to try to get different personalities. You got to also give people different opportunities. But the goal is still the same is to play good, solid football, generate buzz, gel for the Great Cup. You know, our organization as a whole, I believe, is take a lot of positive steps. The turf has been great. The turf here was an issue and the guys are responding. We put in a new wave room.

We put in a new players lounge. We've got the flames catering is taken over. our food orders over here. And it just feels like the guys want to be here. And, you know, unfortunately, sometimes at the end of careers, when it's not going well, guys were, we're turning a little bit on the bitter pill type of stage. And it just had to be done. And I feel very fortunate that they're willing to give me this chance. And I also, I'm appreciated it, but I'm ready to go. I think this is going to be one of those years. It could be very exciting, but also it could be so much fun because everybody's new, fresh, and we're excited to see what we can do.

Well, they say being uncomfortable is a good thing, right? Stuff out of the comfort zone, yeah? No, no, I don't know about that. I've played so many years. I got this one chair at my house. That's the only place my back feels right. That's what they say. I don't know if I subscribe to it.

I love being comfortable. I do. I mean, I just, if that chair, if it's taken by somebody else, I'm. not in a good month yeah not good you know we'll let you get out of here i know you got stuff to do uh but i we played the clip and i think it's great for team bonding sometimes these things it's not hard to do but they brought the the huff burgers out after practice the one day the guys are diving it's so happy dickinson's not having one of those are you still a non burger eater i mean i'll eat them i don't like them that's what i uh i'm really weird like uh like you said i don't

drink. Now, chicken burger would have probably gotten eaten. But I don't know why. Yeah, my dad claims I'm still, and I don't like watermelon. That's the thing my dad. He's coming up for the game. He's 85. No way. Oh, yeah, him and my mom. And then, but he, I remember as a kid, he'd just say, you are just, you're one of one. No kid doesn't like watermelon. I still don't like it. So, I frustrate a lot of people with my eating habits. Well, you know what? You just don't coach in Saskatchewan, and you'll be just fine. That's perfect. Yeah.

We don't like watermelons either some weeks. Maybe that. Maybe there was something into that. I never liked watermel. So, hey, I've never liked the riders. So there you go. There you go. Dave,

congrats. You know, truly, huge respect for the, for the changes and, and putting it out there and getting it done. Best luck this weekend. Big game coming up.

Best luck to see. You're just one of my favorite guys. Appreciate your time. Thank you for having me on. We'll do it again. Thanks. Cheers.
