Starting point is 00:00:14 Hey, buddies, how we doing on a Monday to all of our American fans and viewers and listeners. Memorial Day? I'm not sure. I just know I was trying to figure out why the Oakland Athletics would have a 4 o'clock local time game. Yeah, it's something. And for those of you, for whatever it is, we pay tribute. And celebration and or condolences to whatever holiday it may or may not be. To whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Happy that. Yeah, happy that. We're sorry about that. Uh, how are you? You've been away for a while here, not away, but just, you know, absent from the set. A couple days. And, uh, I guess is it, if your kid graduates high school, regardless, as a parent, you've done your job, is that how it works? Hell yeah. Yeah, I'd take that in a heartbeat right now. Yeah. Yeah, I'd think in, uh, that fancy square hat with the thing. Yeah, yeah. Instead of the cuffs behind them, that's the move for sure. Yeah. Yeah. The square hat's ridiculous. It is. Yeah, it's absurd. We're still using that thing.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Any sort of wind that's flying off. There's no function at all. It was, no, I mean, it was, as you know, I'm small town white trash. So. I knew the first part. I had suspicions about the second. A little different, the old Calgary high school grad, 500 plus kids than it was at my grad. Take us back to your grad, because I am familiar with the 500.
Starting point is 00:01:43 plus Calgary grad. I don't need that picture painted again. I see it. I honestly don't. 20, 30, you absolutely knew everybody. And everyone's parents are probably new too. You knew everyone in town. Yeah, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Everyone knows there's no strangers. Right. So it does not take three to three and a half hours to read the names and have all the graduates walk across the stage to get a diploma. Did it feel like a phone book reading at some point or no, or the whole time? You just, three hours of minutes. names. I'm trying to, I'm trying to come up with a comparable where you know it's going to, it's going, not going to be great, but you just, you do it because it's what you do.
Starting point is 00:02:22 It's like the Saturday at the NHL draft, like round four, five, six, seven. You're like, these are just names at this. I don't know. It was, uh, it was a lot. There was the mass in the morning at a massive church. And then the convocation in the afternoon at a massive church. Everything was just massive. Just huge. Mass of mass. Yeah. And I don't know what was worse because it was standing room only. So you can imagine me, you know, my hammies, the frame. Standing for an hour and a half or so of the mass or sitting for four hours of the convocation. Because you're in there and it's tight and you got the seats and you're sitting. My hips.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Hips. The hammies, my hips, everything gets very, very tight, you know. Sure. So it was a lot. I'm glad it's over. I think the kid's glad it's over. Oh, he did it. Yeah, but now they have to go and take exams and shit.
Starting point is 00:03:25 This is the part I don't get. It's like, congratulations. So what, these exams don't mean shit now? Like we can just bomb these things? Why study for these? I already got the hat. Well, that's, yeah, you got your stupid hat and the piece of paper. I mean, I guess if you're going to university,
Starting point is 00:03:36 you need those grades to get in maybe, but if you aren't, like, what the hell? Why would I study? I think one week was called commencement. I think you had your commencement ceremony, but you still had to graduate before you got your actual diploma. Yeah. So you're glad to be back in the Tower Studios.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Sure. Tower Chrysor Studios, Tower Chrysler, the best Tower Chrysler going when I, when people ask, so, you're doing a Tower Chrysler, which one is only one for me. Well, I mean,
Starting point is 00:04:04 it's the top Chrysler, Ram, dealer, consumer choice award winners. Let's go, number one in Calgary. 10, 101 McLeod Trail South, Towercrisder.com. They've got that ram. I'm thinking about going and interviewing that ram that they've got out in front there. They got the whole lot.
Starting point is 00:04:20 So you don't even know. I'm waiting. They got the jeeps or the rams. They parked them on the thing at the very corner. A little mountain. But then just south of that, right on the grass, got a statue of a ram. Statue.
Starting point is 00:04:32 It's very menacing. Like, are you talking about a truck or the actual ram? Jesus Christ, Ryan. They don't have a statue of a truck. They have a statue. See that now that's making more sense. Of a ram. As soon as you said it was.
Starting point is 00:04:42 It's a statue of grass. That was the first time I thought I'm an animal. It's on all fours. I'm going to have to go talk to that prick. Because we had the different ram in our backdrop when we were filming there. That's a 1500 classic. That's where my head was the whole time. No, it's a, it's a wild animal.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Feels awfully, you know, awfully close to traffic, dangerous. Menacing. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So hello to everybody at Tower cries. There another week of Barnburner is underway. No retro today. He's flying or just not, doesn't want to do the show.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Or both. Yeah. And maybe we get them five minutes from the baggage carousel, but at that point, I mean, it's going to be spotty internet. He'll be busy and shoveler. I'll be like, grab the bag. There's our bag. Check the name.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Now, did the shoveler, the shoveler, go on this trip? Yes. Yes. So we checked him with Rhett on Friday. He was not with us on Thursday's show. That was John Bender, myself, Jay McNeil, we did the old football show. But Friday he was in and he had sent a photo of Tutsis in the group chat.
Starting point is 00:05:39 So we started off with an immediate inquiry as to the last. level of hangover and what kind of like is there are we in like a stage five amber code red like liver situation and he was like no no no kids and mama bear here uh took it easy that usually doesn't stand in his way because wow he he marches to the beat of one drummer and that's himself that is correct fuck everyone else i think is what he told me one time he's like fuck everybody else right you have a philosophy in life yes i do yeah fuck everyone else um so if he wanted to go to tutzies and get absolutely shit-faced. I would think there would probably a night with the hockey dads or maybe they did a little
Starting point is 00:06:17 shit. But it wasn't Thursday night is all I know. That was the travel day. And then they had games that afternoon. And then he was saying, oh, if we win this and if we lose that. And then it seemed like either way he was going to be fucked for today's show. See, you got to be careful when you're, because you know what Nashville means to him. Just to a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:06:35 He was just there a couple months ago. And then you go back. You start doing it too much. take the flare. Well, we're talking about it. He barely could come up with names of former teammates and people he knew very well. He was so hung over.
Starting point is 00:06:49 He's like, uh, yeah, Brian McGrathen. Like he was, he was so hung over. I think if you'd maybe give him a few more months, he would have got out at Thursday. But he was still, that was fresh. Oh, he was a mess that day. Yeah, he was no good. That was, yeah, another day where he wasn't, uh, wasn't around.
Starting point is 00:07:05 So your kids, because I'm just thinking, I was saying to you before we started. It's not that you feel like you're old or you're emotional about it, but you just start to see all of these kids. I remember, yeah, we were Tim Bits and baseball and soccer and saying, you know your parents and everybody. It's as much for the parents. It's a relief for the parents to be like,
Starting point is 00:07:23 Jesus, we've got them here. You're how far away? So my guys are seven and a half and they're in grade two. So I'm a decade away, assuming they'll have to do some grades twice, which, well, but I mean, they're probably super smart. Maybe they skip a few. No skipping. Ryan, we're going to have to talk about...
Starting point is 00:07:40 They like to skip stones on the lake. That's about it for skipping. Skipping class, that'll come soon. It was a lot of... There was a lot of booze for kids. It's 18 in Alberta, and it was 18 in Manitoba where you grew up, but some other places it's not. Like, obviously 21 in the States, 19 in BC, 19 in Saskatchewan.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah, which is no good. 19 in Ontario. But they had the banquet, it and it was there was no there's no alcohol served at the banquet because it could be anybody in there you don't know i i don't know any probably could have chose not to probably good idea the dads were unhappy about it yeah it was the best idea possible because as we rolled up for this banquet and it was five o'clock and some of the there was some get-together so parents and that we had some party's and such they'll get together in the afternoon the kids went off and did their own thing to
Starting point is 00:08:32 stand there and watch the limousines and the cars pull up and these kids spill out of the vehicles. Good God. I'm just trying to imagine someone wearing high heels for the first time or like dudes wearing a suit for the first time and then just like blotto trying to keep it together. It's like you're ruining this wonderful clothes, this expensive shoes. I hope these are all rentals. Just trashed. And the thing of it is, I think the girls are able to handle it because they're not stupid. Boys are stupid.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Dumb animals. Yeah. Absolutely idiots. But to watch these dummies. And then, of course, the move is, well, you can't look like you're drawn. Yeah. Hey, dad. You're really pulling it off there.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Fellas. Hey, how's it going? We're inside. You're wearing sunglasses. Your ties around your forehead. You're not fooling anyone. No one's fool. That's good.
Starting point is 00:09:27 So what was your grad? I'm trying to remember. Mine was small town. Yeah. It was one day you had the party, the banquet and all that was in one day. Yeah. So I was at Western Canada high school for grade 12. Great pals.
Starting point is 00:09:41 A lot of them I played hockey since I was like five or six. So again, same thing. Like lifetime pals still. That was our, we all graduated together. So I think the ceremony was at the Jubilee, I want to say. Jesus Christ. And then there was a cocktail party at my buddy Tyler's place. And he had one of those like staircases that does the.
Starting point is 00:09:59 So I just remember the photo. of all of us lined up around the staircase. And the actual party was on a ranch outside of town. And I just remember a few of the dads kind of catching people as they fell over kind of thing. Being like, I think you've had enough, son. I need a time without one. So, yeah, there was, it got foggier as the day went on for sure. I can relate to a lot of the anecdotes you had there.
Starting point is 00:10:25 It starts off. Everyone's looking proper and clean and well behaved. And at the end, it's just a mess. Yeah. real concern in the back. There was, I guess, five of us rammed into an Uber.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Yeah. After the afternoon thing on the way to the, to the banquet. And we were on our way. I didn't, I didn't think, as one of the dads said, the banquet's going to be dusty,
Starting point is 00:10:49 meaning it's dry, nothing going on. So there were a lot of guys that had their flask. And I, I didn't, I don't have one. I probably would have thought if I'd,
Starting point is 00:10:58 anyway, we're in the back of this Uber. And one of the guys, The guy is like, I got a flask, don't you worry. Well, the prick cross-threaded the, the, no, fucking top on it. No, no, no, no, no. So we're in the back with our ties and suit coach trying to, it was a big deal.
Starting point is 00:11:17 But you got through? There's booze at the end. You got to keep going. Got it figured out. Some weird banana liqueur. Oh, that's not a good move. You just go with a nice rum or rye, don't you? That's silly.
Starting point is 00:11:26 I got to talk to the guy. It's cute, maybe. Got to talk to the guy. Banana liqueur. You put the top on wrong. Come on, man. But you persevere and you move on. Now I'm fucking exhausted is the thing.
Starting point is 00:11:37 You're like me coming back from missing. I am like you coming back from time off. Between family and friends and kids and being out late and up early in pictures and suits and all this shit. I need some. This is a beat. You want to take tomorrow? Well, we do need to have a meeting.
Starting point is 00:11:55 We're out of meeting. We're almost out of hockey here. We're a hockey show. We can be done for a long time. They're going to hire a coach in theory at some point in the next few weeks. Yep. Drafts on the 27th, 28th. We're almost into June here. They got no money for free agents. Who are they going to sign as a free agent? Well, they have to trade someone before for agency so they can blow some money in free agency. Yeah. Wait, go. Yeah, go make a horrible July 1 signing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Yeah. They're going to have to trade someone to get that space to do something stupid on July first. Yeah. A bad trade first to get to that point. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Warner, clearly is on the part-time program. Yeah. And I can't really talk much because I just took eight days in Mexico for a wedding. So yeah, I think we could probably start to scale this whole thing back pretty soon. The other thing is we should probably get Connie in here to hang out. So Blabbermouth, we'll get the whole, he'll lay it
Starting point is 00:12:44 all out for us. Yeah, he will. The whole plan. Oh, hey guys, so don't tell any of the other GMs, but we think there's a great market for this guy. And then swap him out, take those picks and this guy here's not. Bring him in. Jerome's been on the ice for a little bit. We're going to bring him back. Honestly, just for the power play. Just for, we need that right shot on the power play. Him and Phillips and some other guys we have.
Starting point is 00:13:08 I'm happy for him, man. I am too. And you know what? Like I just keep warming up to it more and more. The more people I talk to, like I saw Glenn Cross and staging at an event on the weekend. And they both obviously know him really well. And they're both just jacked saying,
Starting point is 00:13:23 look, like this guy's worked his tail off for a while here. And that doesn't mean he's a finished product as a GM. And it's not like watching Jim Nill run the draft in Detroit for what felt like a quarter century. but it's not as if he's being airlifted in a la Danny Breyer, right? Like it's or another situation like Marty St. Louis is head coach. Like the guy clearly understands how the organization works. There isn't a situation that's going to pop up that he hasn't sort of been around or at least to have someone to lean on.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Like that's why Nonas is here. And I'm excited for, you know, we heard a trade proposal last week that was just spitballing, not a real thing. But it just changed the way you think about this group and be like, oh, they want to turn this thing over. they could do it pretty quick. If that's kind of what we were talking about. And Rhett brought it up because you think about,
Starting point is 00:14:09 do you keep, and of course you're talking about the Lindholm one. Do you keep Lindholm? So what's this team if you don't have Lindholm? Yeah. Well, the team is you're moving on. You're resetting the dials a little bit. Yeah, it's a retool if you're taking some of the young players you've got.
Starting point is 00:14:22 You're then taking the cap money you wouldn't be spending on the veterans, plus what you might get in return. We never really thought, because it's hard. How do you friggin't know? you don't, yeah. What you can get in trade. Is Elias a tremendous player? I think he can play well into his 30s.
Starting point is 00:14:39 I don't think you'll be disappointed with what you get out of him. Yeah. But what do you, what do you get? Instead of spending $8 to $9 million on that contract, okay, we'll keep that. And then maybe you'd get a player or a pick. And then it's a lot. The other thing, too, is that it might not be a Connie decision. It might be a sit down with Elias and here's what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Well, sure. Right. But for our purposes. No, but that even makes it more interesting in the sense that like if you're just getting a clear signal that he's not super keen. And if I'm going to stay, it has to be at a number that's not good for the team. All right. We've got our marching orders. Let's go find the best deal we can for him.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Go get Hubert O, Wigger, a prospect and a first Wigert, O'N. That's right. And then you watch the world and you say, oh, there's to Foley scoring goals. And Wigger look pretty good. What if you do run those bricks back and try it for him? a little bit to start the season, maybe if the different coach. We're going to get all this, man. I'm telling you, it's not going to be the full rebuild. It's not
Starting point is 00:15:37 going to be the keep everyone. It's not going to be trade them all the deadline. There's going to be a little bit of all those things. There will be a couple of guys that get deals this summer. I believe there'll be at least one guy moved this summer and there will be pieces that move in season. I believe that. We've got a lot today. Do we?
Starting point is 00:15:52 Pinda report, busy weekend. Always is. Oh, my goodness. Look at this ass out. We're going to we got the below Hello. And McLeod Law this day in flames history. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:16:08 Hello. Hello. I'm in Detroit Rock City. The windy city. He just shows up. Yeah. What are you doing in Detroit, Rat? Apparently there's no direct flights between the city of Buffalo and the city of brotherly love or music city.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Music City. Whichever. Nashville, whatever on that one is. Detroit. Yeah. Nice new airport. Well, I don't know how new it is, but I don't come through Detroit very often. And the old one was a real dump.
Starting point is 00:16:48 This new one. Top notch. Someone in the chat noting that Chicago's the Windy City, Dean. Oh, you're going to want to write that down. Oh, okay. You know what, Detroit? Sin City. The Big Apple.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Yeah. I keep getting those. Which one's the brotherly love? Nashville. You were just there. Tampa. Oh, yeah. Brothers.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Miami and Tampa. Big thanks to Dylan in the chat. We won't make that mistake again. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you. So how was the weekend? What are you been doing? It started off rough.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Had a few. When we had a couple losses. And you know when you have a few beer and then you go for a spicy chicken sandwich with your old buddy J.P. Dumont, then that was really rough. But then I cleaned up. I got myself. put back together, got on the bench, led the squad to three victories in a row. But alas, a tie by another team.
Starting point is 00:17:43 It sewered us. Awesome. Yeah. Some bullshit. Where are these teams from? Do you want to throw any shade at any particular regions of the country? No, I'll tell you what, this was a massive tournament. There were teams from all over, Okinawagan, California, Dallas.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Hartford. Montreal. Brotherly love. Rock City. Yeah. So home today, obviously. Hopefully. Did you know. Holiday.
Starting point is 00:18:15 You were connecting through Detroit or how did you? Why did you buy these tickets? Yes. Like in a morning. Yeah. Late. He buys tickets the day of. What fucking life is?
Starting point is 00:18:25 It's America. They don't, they don't jack it up last second all the time, right? Like there's enough flights that and people are flying. doesn't go from $200 when you check at noon to $8,000 at 6 o'clock. Yeah. It's the land of the freedom.
Starting point is 00:18:44 So are we talking to some Nashville hot chicken? Because when you say spicy chicken, we can go to a drive-thru and get a spicy chicken. You're talking Nashville hot chicken. Quite famous. Hatties. Haddy beans, maybe? Yeah. You're bread.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Real good. Were you sweating? Did you have some meat sweats? No, because I knew it had a couple IPAs and I knew the guts were gurgling already. I'm like, I don't need to throw down some hot, overly heated up anything right now. Things would have went poorly for the retro. How hot is it in Nashville? 85.
Starting point is 00:19:22 English? That is. What is it? It's a fuck city. American. 30. 27. 27.
Starting point is 00:19:27 27. 27. So, what? Not bad. So the kids, so you won games, but then there was somebody else had a tie and you got screwed. Well, no, we, the kids screwed up the first day. They played like garbage. They lost the first two games and that kind of seals your faith.
Starting point is 00:19:46 They won the next three. No pressure. And they had it all together, aside from the tie that one team had. Okay. Knocked them out of the, anyway, I wasn't there for the hockey. Let's be honest. were you there for it i wouldn't have been anywhere if it wasn't nashville i said earlier before you were on i said you know nashville you start you were there with kelly chase and that group now you've
Starting point is 00:20:12 gone back again don't overdo it man that's a special place it's like they say don't meet your heroes don't go there too often we stayed far enough away from downtown that it was this is the first time i've ever come home from nashville feeling fairly put together i'm not hurting at all He met up with, what, Lundmark on Thursday night, former flame? Yeah, yeah, I had a few with Lundy at a fancy restaurant. Then the next day I got to go hang out with my buddy J.P. Dumont, some of the best hands that nobody's ever heard of. Yeah, it was good. There was all kinds of guys.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Bryce Salvador, saw him, Daly, Trevor Daly. There was Jordan Leopold. There you go. Flame alumna. Yeah. A whole bunch of guys. It's great. So great to see you guys.
Starting point is 00:21:05 That's for sure. So, for sure. Right. Salvatore. Let's Petrucane, I believe it. Captain of the captain of, wasn't he need a captain when they went to the final?
Starting point is 00:21:15 I believe he was. Yeah. Wow. Michael Grady. See you on that team? Big Mike. Anyway. Mike.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Yeah. Just all the stories you hear about Nashville and you've got a ton of them. I remember. I won't mention his name because it doesn't probably want to be viewed in that light. But a member of the media in Nashville woke up one day after a night out. And his one hand, his knuckles were just kind of raked and scratched. Grazed a bit. It's like, gosh, what did I end up doing?
Starting point is 00:21:48 The right one? Nothing. The left one. All straight. What possibly could I have done? And then he remembers he was walking along. a building or whatever. And he's a little tipsy, right?
Starting point is 00:22:03 He's tipping over and keeps smacking into this wall. And it had like a stucco side of it. He just tore the shit up on his hand, just dragging it along this stucco building. Did it hurt at the time? Apparently not. Not enough that he would stop doing that, perhaps. So Nashville, and remember we went with the old shop.
Starting point is 00:22:24 The old shop there, the Sportsnet. And Johnny, big, big, sales guy out of Vancouver. Johnny Bigwills. Johnny Bigwheel. How are you? Good to see. Hey, everyone. I'm here from Vancouver. Fucking guy walked into a street side on Broadway, busted himself fucking wide open. He's
Starting point is 00:22:40 forehead open. Just leaking all over his shirt, all over himself. That was the first story I told when I went down to Broadway with the shoveler. Yeah. Watch out for street signs. They'll attack you. They were in the bus on the way back
Starting point is 00:22:56 to the airport and everybody's the tone. a little bit quieter. Oh, boy. Thanks to everybody for coming. I'm not sure what I'm going to tell my wife about this cut on my forehead. It's tough. If you don't live that lifestyle where maybe you do go out and get busted up wide open. Yeah, like if I come home with a split forehead, that makes sense. This guy, clearly not. No one misses a beat. This guy, probably no matter what story you come up with is going to be a tough one to to make fly with the
Starting point is 00:23:24 with the lady so Tutsi's legends where did where you end up well there's a new joint on fifth
Starting point is 00:23:35 so across the street from legends but and across the street from the bridgestone there's a whole fancy new it's almost like a three level place with all kinds of different joints in it
Starting point is 00:23:48 I thought the kids were all allowed into the bars on Broadway but apparently I was wrong. So we couldn't go into Tutsis. Did you wheel down with the whole family and try to bring him in? That's amazing. Yeah. I figured my oldest is,
Starting point is 00:24:01 if I'd have just got him an ID, he'd have been fine. He would have a fake mustache on the giraffe. No one's going to question a guy that tall. And the one kid, we know he loves drinking white wines. A hammering. A little lowbrow for him.
Starting point is 00:24:12 It's crazy, though. They ID'd everyone. Every time you order to drink, got ID? All right. Apparently, it's a problem. So back to Buffalo
Starting point is 00:24:24 With the kids You guys realize It's a holiday down here right That's what we were saying Happy your thoughts and prayers Which everyone Whatever it is Yeah enjoy it
Starting point is 00:24:33 Memorial Memorial Memorial Cup So T's and peas I heard the blazers Snott bubbled 10 2
Starting point is 00:24:45 On the 102 Peter Burr Pete Steve Steve Montador's brother texting said, holy Monty's old squad getting pumped up by the Blazers. So the Pets have lost 6-3 and 10-2, if my math is correct. That ain't good.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Didn't the Blazers get smoked one game, the first game? And then they won their second one, 10-2. Yeah, Quebec just unloaded on them, 8-3. It's been some weird scores. Yeah, weird. You may not know this. And you may not even care. I'm just trying to think because you haven't been around.
Starting point is 00:25:23 But you know our buddy Mike Soroka, Calgary, kid. Oh, my goodness. Atlanta Braves. Last pitched in August, August 3rd of 2020. 2020. Tor his Achilles. Rehab. Tor it again.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Rehab to the, you know, minor leagues. Working his way way up, work his way up. Some more injury issues, minor ones. He got one of these yesterday. Come on, kid. back to the show. Starting tonight for the Atlanta Braves in Oakland against the athletics. Guaranteed Wednesday, too. Perfect. That's a good, good, good, you know, when you're looking for a kid to make a debut, where's the spot we could do this?
Starting point is 00:26:04 There it is, 1,028 days. We had them in studio twice this winter. We talked to him and it was like, how do you stay positive? What's the frame of mind? He's like, I'm reading POW books because I got it great. I'm making real good money. I'm a professional athlete. My family is not on the other side of the world in a camp or a refugee. Like the perspective and the maturity. So impressive.
Starting point is 00:26:32 You had a good little convo with them. Their retroboat, lackey science. Oh, the crazy training. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You were loving it. Never doubted he'd be back. Never doubted it for a moment. So what do you think?
Starting point is 00:26:47 Is it red lights and. Cold plunges and what do you think would be the blue blockers? What do you think would be the secret first? I'll tell you what. I would think that those baseball pitchers would be about as quirky as they come, wouldn't they? Probably. Totally.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Yeah. Right. He got the shits from some shwerma? We went to a game as we do every year. And he had to leave after 40 to go home and puke all over the place. Oh, dear. He was not feeling good. He had the uneasy tummy, which I'd ignore.
Starting point is 00:27:19 responsibility for. He did not have a single drink and it was hammered a burger that seemed fine. It's a very upstanding restaurant, but he nailed it back to this one shwama place, went to the different location, didn't sit well. Yeah, you don't do it. What else can we talk to you about? A big game six tonight in the Stanley Cup semi-final between Dallas and Vegas. Kind of thought that that thing was over. I was hoping it would be. Asked for a couple of games. I kind of was too, but then the last couple games we've watched. They've been pretty freaking good. And I'll say this. If we want to go ahead
Starting point is 00:27:52 and have a game seven, I'm in for that. At this point, if we've gone this far, may as well give us a game seven. Well, you're not starting any earlier. Earlier, right? You might as well have the game seven. We saw that last week. If they could finish in five, playoffs, this final would start here. And if it's six or seven, it's the same start date over here. We're already having to wait. May as well
Starting point is 00:28:08 get an extra game. Which is Sunday, correct? Is that what it was? I think regardless now, Stanley Cup starts Sunday? Sunday. Sunday. Sunday. It's on the seventh. Sunday is not the 7th. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:28:20 I'm looking at the wrong month. You're right. Sunday the 4th. Details. Details. Turn the page, Pinder. It's not May. June next month.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Can't believe it's June. I know. Oh, my God. I've got a good little. What's going on in Calgary? Anything exciting? We've got a new coach. Well, people got to rock the vote today,
Starting point is 00:28:42 Rhett. I know you'll want people rock. Oh, that's right. We should talk politics. You got any political guests coming on? Yes. Insight? You.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yeah. Pretty up to date on it. Yeah. We got Newt Gendrich in the second half of the show here. Yeah. I'm pretty sure you're more up to it than most people you're in into today. I will say this. They're getting really good at this advance voting stuff.
Starting point is 00:29:06 I went last week and it was less than a minute. Yeah. No line. And they're making it easier for people to vote. Today's going to be different, but I move. Moving forward, it's very easy to do if you don't go on election day. If you're completely lazy and useless, they can't get out until the day of because you forget like me,
Starting point is 00:29:27 it makes it much more difficult. If you have any foresight at all, easy, piece. Yeah, totally. I've generally done well with the advance voting. This time not so much. It's almost as though it's become white noise to me, that I've just blocked it out completely because maybe some people feel like it doesn't matter who the fuck gets in.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Milk's going up by a buck a month regardless. Well, maybe we do need to pay attention then, Dean. Maybe that's the problem. Is it not you got to vote to have the right to wine in line. Isn't that how it works? I don't know as much as you want. You need, you love bitching a moan. You better vote today.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I never voted for the longest time. People would talk politics and I'm like, I don't vote. I don't have an opinion. Now I vote and I just bitch and moan and complain about everything. Perfect. I'll tell you what, though, those, the attack ads might work. You're having dinner two nights ago and my daughter, who's 11, because my son, he's now 18, first chance he gets to vote. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Here's the paper, so you've got to go and take part of the process. Democracy, baby. And my daughter says, well, whatever you do, just don't vote for bloggy, blocky, block. They're going to do this. Very, very opinion. Well, she supports Russia in the Ukraine war. And she wants this to happen. She wants that to happen.
Starting point is 00:30:58 It's like, where did you learn that? It was on YouTube. Oh, okay. Well, perfect. No further questions. Yeah. So I rest my case. So don't vote for her.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Bluggy, bloggy. She wants this to happen and that is no good. I always like seeing the fringe parties. Like there's always one or two you never heard of. You're like, ooh, what kind of cooks do we have to do? That's right. Yeah. Well, you look into their policies.
Starting point is 00:31:24 That's the best part. Dig deep into it. You're like, ooh, interesting. Marijuana party for decades. There's no more. Now it's legal. They just crush the party. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:31:34 It's what all their hopes and dreams came true and now they're disbanded, apparently. Yeah, we're tired. Yeah. Canada wins the worlds yeah Liger had an amazing tournament You really did Do we care
Starting point is 00:31:49 Better than having a shitty tournament If you had to pick I think it's good points Yeah I think like yeah It's not the highest quality of competition This is not the year before the Olympics So Sam Montembo is not the greatest goalie in the world
Starting point is 00:32:03 I thought that was DeKembe Matumbo I was way off No like Latvian Germany got to the semi-finals This was not a bumper crop of countries sending their best players. But if you want him to go over and have a tournament, he better look like one of the best players. And he did.
Starting point is 00:32:18 He was the only Canadian name to an All-Star team, top defensemen in the tournament, put up a ton of points. And I almost wonder if this doesn't throw his name into the, his hat into the ring for, they're going to have a captain this year. He was new. He ain't new anymore.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Because of the freaking world championships? What are you talking about? Let's pump the brakes. You just didn't see him as a leader until this event, that's all. And maybe he is... I didn't see him as a leader until he started to play hockey
Starting point is 00:32:46 because he was horse bleep for five months this year. I think it was two, but yeah, I mean... It was more to you're being too nice. Let's come on, come on. I think post All-Star break and it's, again, what are you gonna... When's All-Star break?
Starting point is 00:33:02 January? Yeah. You play with what you... It's not, it's not Weeger's fault that the tournament caliber is what it is. No, go dominate. You're right. Play well, look good. Played well, looked good. I think he looked good down the stretch. I do wonder, with so much finger pointing and bitching and bellyache in about the drop
Starting point is 00:33:25 off of Huberdo, if Wigger is almost kind of a sneaky part of this. I think, I don't know why. I feel like he's going to settle in here. I thought he did, to be honest. That first little stretch, like you say it, right? You were you were critical and for good reason, but I think he did turn a corner. And I wonder if now he's going to be a solid guy back there. I think he absolutely will be because outside of the, you know, two, three, four months, whatever it was, that's been what he's been the last three years. And then theoretically, you remove a little bit of friction with a coaching change. It's not everything, but it certainly was a part. But there's certainly a void in the, who's the leader of this group. Maybe he is. I'm here now. I get it. I'm here now. I get.
Starting point is 00:34:09 it. I was new last year. Now I'm a guy that's a vet here. My kid just dropped his lemon loaf on the floor. Anyway. Delicious. The other thing that you got to say about Uyghur, he's got political clout, right? It's a big vote day.
Starting point is 00:34:25 He clearly has some inside tracks to whoever's premieres their ear, getting things done. So, yeah, maybe he is the right guy. It's going to be someone. And I'm not saying, like, look at this guy. absolutely see material. But I think we're starting to get a short list. And I think we know backlands
Starting point is 00:34:43 on it. You could certainly make the case that, you know, like Rasmus Anderson's a guy that could be that. See, my, and I'm with, Rhett with this. My whole thing is I get, we're going to have a captain. We need to have a captain. And that's great. You can put a letter on anybody. What you want is not to have a captain, but you want someone who's clearly a captain. Right. Yeah. So I. So maybe. You want there to be a captain, not have a captain. Yeah. And I sort of think of Connie. who's said this publicly. I don't know that people were like, this guy is a captain in the NHL
Starting point is 00:35:14 so much as he was a guy that was a placeholder until Jerome was ready and he probably did a really good job and he recognized when it was time. What was it a year and a half? And then he gave it to Jerome. Maybe this is that similar spot where it doesn't have to be the,
Starting point is 00:35:28 this guy's born in the hall and it's like, I'm a C forever. But it's like, who is someone that can help the culture get to the right spot and pass the torch when it's done? Iggy paid him like 800 grand for that. I think so. It's expensive cloth.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Let's see. Now, speaking of all of that, Captain and Iggy. Just kidding. And all of that. Yeah, I know you have you here. I don't,
Starting point is 00:35:50 because I don't know how long we got you. Let's do some McLeod law. Oh, because it's a this day, you know, we'll do a little this day in history. You know Peter, Peter Klein,
Starting point is 00:36:00 look, he's on your screen right there. I've been telling you all about Peter Klein. You know he is, a cloud law personal injury guy, but he's also the go-to guy in Calgary for your disability insurance claim. If your long-term disability insurance company
Starting point is 00:36:17 is refusing to pay insurance benefits to you, you contact Peter. It's the first and only call you make. He will get you the disability benefits that you paid for and that you deserve. Your peace of mind, you just rest easy knowing that Peter Klein is working for you.
Starting point is 00:36:36 It's that piece of mind. that you paid for. That's the thing, right? Get that for you. It's not like, hey, I want to stay in to this, you jerks. Give me that. I think I got a client for Peter Klein. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:36:46 I heard a story. Jamie Lundberg told me a story last night about when he was with the Rangers. That's some crooked business dealings, Mr. Sater. Really? Oh, not kosher. Okay. Not kosher. So this day in flames history.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Retro 2004. Oh, fond memories. It is game number three of the Stanley Cup final between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Calgary Flames
Starting point is 00:37:20 the first Stanley Cup final game in Calgary since 1989. Now they sought off games one and two even coming back to Calgary. Big splitsies. No, shrewed up in game two. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:37:37 So anyway, let's give it a look-see here. We go back to May 29th of 2004, Game 3. The dome, she was rocking. You remember much about that night? Well, it blurs together because the dome rocked that whole time. I'm more confused by the date. It seems like I felt like we lost. We had about three days.
Starting point is 00:38:03 I went to the lake and stampede started. If it's game three already, two weeks have disappeared out of my memory. I was going to say, there was probably a black hole of two weeks where you cleansed your brain and tried to scour all the memories of the final. That Amsterdam trip, it'll do that to you. It'll do that to you. So yeah, we go back to 04 and game three. And there's a few things in here that you may not necessarily connect to, oh, that was game three. But some memorable moments here as we get into it.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Beasley was hollering and screaming. Oh, that boy. Yeah, hollering and screaming the entire time. And Mika Kipersoff got the start that night. Mika was, okay. Oh, that might step. Yeah, now you're still. Large didn't have a great game in game two, so.
Starting point is 00:38:50 I just thought, yeah, we'll take a look here. Now, I know that Dave Lowry, Dave Lowry scratched to make way for that man, Christoph, Ola. Well, thank Scott Robb at the end of game, too. There's a message here, Daryl. There they go. The scoreless in the first, and then behind the net, it's the one that everyone remembers.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Jerome versus Vinnie La Cavillier. That's right. I just remember thinking, Noel the Calvier, you're a dead man. That's a chance there too at the end, didn't you? Well done. Jerome got to eased up a little. as the officials got in there.
Starting point is 00:39:44 You could have planted one. Stefaniel. That's a sizable hit. And then watch this as our buddy retro. Ooh. I got, I got concussed right there. Is you? I bet you did.
Starting point is 00:39:57 I did. Power play. Who else but Chris Simon on the doorstep. Cy makes it one nothing. Who got the old skate guards on? What are the net? Okay, go to the net retro. Rebound, sc.
Starting point is 00:40:17 1-0, 2nd, 2nd period. Sean Donovan. 2-1-2-1. Oh, rips it past Abby Bowler. Dream is very much alive right now. That was Kobesu. Now, you remember on the other team as our buddy. Our good, look at Sarchie.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Searchie. Look at Surchy. Now watch this pass again, Lund, to Warren. Warner. Oh, nearly snuck her through there, bud. Look at that playoff there! Look at that. The mustache!
Starting point is 00:40:51 I'm still huck and hungry right now. Tired. Boy too much. Now, there's Fetatanko down. So what happened here? Are you trying to draw a penalty? Get up. So what happened?
Starting point is 00:41:06 Replay shows that maybe he has reason. See, Lizzo, he goes bell wrong. Watch the forehead. right into the national board from red sure from red rich rich he's upset later in the game third period sarci's upset he's getting a slashing call he's like what the hell what why am i getting a slashing call this is some BS ref let's see does he deserve the slash right there oh maybe what do you call it go on ref what do you what do you call it yeah gives him a little love tap there and then oh very quickly gets away so the power play after the
Starting point is 00:41:42 Sarchie, penalty, Regere, backdoor, Iggy taps it in. Three nothing to that point. That's the final. As Mika Kiprasoff, it's not a ton of shots, but it was enough for a 3-0-0 win. His fifth career playoff, shutout, Donovan, Simon, and Jerome with a goal and an assist. As the Flames take a 2-1 series lead. dominant win that night retro yeah don't be shit now does it look at all the joy you brought to these people that's great win in game four to it have been well game six you're right there i'm seriously
Starting point is 00:42:35 concussed right there because i thought that was andre waugh in my memory bank it was andre waugh that hit me there not and i remember meeting going to meet my buddy chat allen for a pint you know that what's the place called now it used to be worst it's still worst uh it's now south block anyway it's south block it was worse and it was another brewery before that i went in there
Starting point is 00:43:01 and had a beer to have a beer and i could not find my way i was i was in bad bad shape there was a boy there remember that yeah you uh you got shot there i i i again that that series there was we learned a lot about so but La Cavillia, you give
Starting point is 00:43:19 Oh, man. Because you, you haven't watched him though. He was awesome. He's, he was, he'd always been good. It was, it's one of those things, right? He's in the other conference and Florida team. You see him twice a year, if that at that point. It might have been less.
Starting point is 00:43:32 And you're like, oh, he's just, he's a big, but he's a skill. Yeah, I thought he was kind of a tall, more of a slight skilled guy. Like a skilled guy. He's just a skill guy. And you're like, oh, he is me. But then tongue in with Iggy. And then, and yeah, he caught you there. And I would just watching the highlights, putting that thing to
Starting point is 00:43:48 together. That was a physical team that you had. You guys ran their show. And I was, I should have put it in. There were a couple of big hits. You had the one there from, from Yale behind the net. I think that was Kabina. There was a couple where, Neimanon just unloaded on guys. That was, I almost give credit to Tampa Bay for coming back and winning the next game because yeah, they were manhandled by you guys. Well, they got handed gifts by that carry Fraser, dumbass. I was looking at it was Bill McCreary that we saw
Starting point is 00:44:21 there with the mustache. I can't mistake that. Fraser, yeah. I don't want to get you in trouble, but okay, you get concussed. It's the Stanley Cup final. Like, are you even saying anything to the trainer? No, you don't see. What am I going to say? Hey, I got
Starting point is 00:44:37 headache and I can't see straight, I shouldn't be driving. I think I can play game four. I mean, I just, I don't, I, again, I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble, but that's a thing that you had to be like, how do I deal with this? Like, I know how to deal with it. Silence.
Starting point is 00:44:53 So that explains that shot of you sitting on the bench with your in hanging off of your head. The dir. It was a big hit. Oh, game four, son of a bitch, Mike Richards. God. Five on three, I had the puck on my stick, spun to ice it, wift right under Richard's stick,
Starting point is 00:45:13 in the net, idiot. You're a loser, Warner. loser. And in the chat, Brett says, retro, it was in. Don't feel sad. We knew the Flames won that series. That puck was in and game six. So there you go. See? All better. Thanks, Brent. Or Brett or whoever. Brett and Tracy. Yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right. There it is. McLeod Law.

Starting point is 00:46:01 it's an all company guys. Nobody better than Peter Klein. Give them a call, get a hold of everybody at the people at McLeodlaw and get them working for you. My kid graduated this weekend, Rhett. Yeah. I feel like I can just throw my keys on the table. Is he out of the house yet?
Starting point is 00:46:23 Oh, well, they still got classes. That's the thing we were saying. I don't understand how that works. Is this kids that lives with it until he's 25? Or is he keen to get out? He's got buddies looking at apartments.

Starting point is 00:47:25 Speaking of Greg at Bontan, bailed my ass out. Really? Because of how the days went and family in town, I'm the one that cooks. So on the Thursday, it was the thing in the morning, thing in the afternoon, 11 people over for dinner that night. I ain't cooking. What are you going to do? Greg Keller Bontan meets.

Starting point is 00:48:00 hey, I salvaged something. Everyone would have been over the moon. They were floored. Yeah. They didn't, I thought maybe some greasy wheel was going to come sliding in the door.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Well, look at this. This is pretty good. My kid was jacked. My kid loves the potato salad. What? Yes. Yes, ribs and potato salad. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Calgary tradition since 1921. We keep saying this. We've aligned ourselves with some unbelievable humans, great Calgarians. Greg Keller is at or near the top of that list. They treat people the way you deserve to be treated. It's why it's been there since then. It's why it's bigger and better than ever.
Starting point is 00:48:39 It's why people keep going back. It's why it's worth the trip, the effort, everything, to get the best of the best. tonne meat market, Greg Keller, 28 crowfoot circle northwest.

Gentlemen, we start in Finland and kind of Latvia as well, as the flames had a trio of Canadians that were golden.
Starting point is 00:50:45 at the world championships. We'd love to show you the whole game. Shit, we'd sit and talk you through it, but those ass hats at the double IHF don't want us talking about highlights. Obviously, that would ruin the tournament. We don't want that kind of publicity. We don't do it. They lifted it and we showed that.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Don't do it. The whole tournament would collapse. We'd be screwed without it. So instead we have this. A selfie from Milan Luchich. Look at that. Rhett, this doesn't look like a guy that wants to hang up his skates this summer. He's going to Buffalo.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Ranglers. He's playing the World Championships. This old lute's got another deal in them? Buffalo. It needs to go to Buffalo. Okay. But why would he? He's the perfect fit for the Sabres.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Oh, okay. They need someone that can protect some of those young skilled forwards. They got all kinds. Bring them in. You're paying bloody Kyle Ocoposo, two and a half. You can't give this guy to? Come on. Two.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Two. What have you? See, I'm hard on luch, but I'm helping luch. I'm good. I appreciate that. You're good, good in the room, guy, for sure. Helping your buddy. He was out belting some karaoke with the fellas.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Everyone loves the luch. I mean, I don't know where to say his game is at at this juncture of his career. It's clearly not the menacing power for that scored tournament in Austin. But winner. They love him. The boys bleep and love him wherever he plays. Good for him. Let's keep rolling through some photos here.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Lots of guys. That was Luchich. There's DeFoli. It's got that letter C on his jersey rant. Hmm. This is boring because you can't show highlights. It's kind of just like. Yeah, we got some good stuff.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Do we make a photo album? Trust me, it gets better. There's weeks. Okay. Now let's get some funner stuff. There are they. Five flames. Sean Kelso on the left from the communication.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Fab five. The department. He had that big, no, he would say fat. No, he said Fab. Fab. Fab. Five. And on the right, Ken Cabalka.
Starting point is 00:52:44 right. That's right. One of the Cabelca boys, yep. Yep, that's one of the five. That's right. And he was on the power play or the penalty killed was the. Okay. Keep moving.
Starting point is 00:52:55 They were getting after it. Celebrate a big win. Look at Wigs. How pumped is he? All right. Good work, fellas. If you're going to go, you may as well win. I'm glad that you're promoting this and you're happy and that Canada won.
Starting point is 00:53:10 I just, I watched about, I don't know. I actually didn't watch a split second of this event. And I kind of don't feel like I miss much. Did you ever go? Were you ever asked to go? I turned down Lanny McDonald's invite to go. Oh, Rhett. Well, I was about the 14th defenseman to do it,
Starting point is 00:53:28 so I didn't feel too bad. You were offended. You were so far down the list that you said no. You've used this story before. Do you, in fact, know how many guys had rejected Lanny before you did? I don't know the exact number, but it was plenty. Are you sheepish about saying no to Lanny So many years later?
Starting point is 00:53:46 Not in the least. I mean, I feel bad. I couldn't help Lanny out, but I was going surfing. That was it for us? Yeah, that's right. Fuck everyone else. That's right.
Starting point is 00:53:55 That's there. So that came into play there. It was a great tournament for Wigger. And again, Rhett, it doesn't mean that... Give my extension. But there it is. He's already got one. Ten games, eight points, three goals, 11 points,
Starting point is 00:54:10 led all defensemen in scoring, voted best defensemen. of the tournament, lone Canadian on the All-Star team and a gold medal. That's a good few weeks of work in Europe at a boy, celebrate. If you're going to go, may as well be good. Now, the story of the tournament, Rhett, wasn't necessarily McKenzie Uighur, nor the Canadians who won, but the two minnows of the hockey universe got to the semifinals. The Latvians knocked off the Americans in the bronze medal game,
Starting point is 00:54:34 and it was, well, a day for the heroes in Riga, the country's capital, which is about a million people, declared a holiday bands and the team met by this throng of Latvian hockey fans. They love their hockey in Latvia. It is not a big country. This is the number one sport in the country. They've never won a medal before at the World Championships and they were co-hosting. This was a big, big achievement.
Starting point is 00:54:58 So this is great. The only thing better when they beat the Americans in overtime, what did they do? Well, they went and laid roses out at the U.S. Embassy to say sorry. Is this not unbelievable? No, we were talking about it before the show. Is this the most epic troll job of all time? Or is this something culturally in Latvia that isn't supposed to make fun of people, but that just we don't understand.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Yeah, I wondered if, oh, maybe that's just something that, they're being really nice. Something they do is very respectful. Or is it like top floor shade to go and say, hey, sorry about the loss, USA. I'm just thinking about 2010 Canada beats USA the golden goal the Gindler-a-Crossby back the net
Starting point is 00:55:48 If in every Canadian city There was hundreds of hockey fans laying out flowers at the American embassy Like how epic that was to be That's what they did in Latvia yesterday So sorry for your loss Oh Proud of the Latvians
Starting point is 00:56:02 That's awesome stuff Maybe if Matt Coronado would have done more Hey Rhett the Americans would have? He's the best player ever You can score 100 can't score to help his team when it matters. Guy that didn't watch the tournament's got some hot taste. Zero seconds.
Starting point is 00:56:18 I don't like it. Well, he should have given them more. Yeah, I wasn't impressed. I didn't see enough. You're right, Rhett. You didn't see enough. Let's go to the NHL. Game six tonight.
Starting point is 00:56:31 We have a game six. I didn't think we're going to have a game six. Wait, they didn't mention. Wasn't it a Wrangler that scored the OT winner? Yes, it was. It was a Christian Rubens, I believe. Yeah. acquired for nothing from Ottawa.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I'm happy that it means something to them. Oh, they love it there. I'm lucky enough to Ben. They love hockey. And you go to Europe and second. You go with it.
Starting point is 00:56:56 We love soccer too. It's kind of like our second favorite. They love it there. Love it, love it. And bronze is the new gold. Gold is very showy. Bronze you still win? It's the bronze you want.
Starting point is 00:57:09 You win your last game. Yeah. You have to bounce back after a lost. the win of bronze. Good perspective, Dean. I had not thought of that. Speaking of game six, Jamie Ben will be back. He's the Black Haten series.
Starting point is 00:57:24 This will be interesting. And how did Bruce Cassie, head coach of the Vegas Golden Knights field boat game five? We have 24 giveaways. I'm not sure you're beating the Arizona coyotes in January with 24 giveaways. And then he goes on to say, no disrespect to Arizona. Correct.
Starting point is 00:57:40 No, 100% disrespect. Disrespect to Arizona. That's exactly why you said Arizona. It's disrespect to Arizona. Disrespectful to Arizona. Yeah. So they need to be better defensive. Why is he got to kick Arizona when they're down?
Starting point is 00:57:52 They're looking for a rank. They got nowhere to play. You got Cassidy and Vegas beat the piss out of them. Come on. Good. Keep kicking them until they get a real rink somewhere. Hey, Bruce. Get a win.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Now I'm, you know what? Now I'm like, go beat fucking Vegas. Honestly, at this point, give a seven. Like Brett said,
Starting point is 00:58:08 they're not moving the games up and we need a story. And the story needs to be. Jamie Ben with three goals and two assists tonight, absolutely redeems himself, forces a game seven, and then runs Aden Hill, and it's mayhem in Vegas, overtime, Dallas wins.
Starting point is 00:58:26 That way, bet's coming up later, by the way. You may have hit something there. Let's move along. Lots in the non-hockey portion of the program today. Let us start in baseball. Boom,
Starting point is 00:58:36 talked about it already. Our boy, Mike Soroka, is back in the bigs. We talked about it over a thousand days outside of the majors on this quest to return. He was COVID. An incredible feather in his cap. No, you got hurt in the COVID season.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Thank you, though. This is not easy to recover from. I'm trying to think of what that would have been like to rupture your Achilles for the second time after spending a year rehabbing it. Followed Jamie Coots. The dope. A little late now, now that he's healthy, you tell us that. could have just called Coonsie. I was thinking of Pat Choretti,
Starting point is 00:59:15 but yeah, Coons would be the call for sure. Okay, very good. More on it. Now, this is the manager of the Atlanta Braves.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Was Brian Snicker? Yes. It was all kind of set up and people knew it was coming because Alex Anthopoulos had been saying that, you know, probably the next time,
Starting point is 00:59:29 the next time we need a guy. It's going to be Soroka. Oh, when do you anticipate needing a guy? Tomorrow. So against Oakland, we need a starter tomorrow. So putting it all together.
Starting point is 00:59:40 And then last night after the Braves, game the manager laid it out for everybody here we go been through remember talking to him after the second the second time that the Achilles went and just thinking what he had to go through again and how upbeat he was and how realistic and to go through everything that he's been through and now to get back is really a feather in that kid's cap man just the the dedication and how hard that had to have been
Starting point is 01:00:09 and everything he went through the last couple of years, man. That would really test you. And every time I saw him, I mean, this guy was upbeat and he was driven to get back out there and got a lot of respect for how he went about it. Canadian here. So it's all though. That's cool. Calgary. And see him out there and go. And see him go. Let's get him going. Tonight. Yeah. It's a 607 first pitch, Calgary time because it's whatever holiday it is in the States. Congratulations. Lots and prayers. And Oakland. So they're minus 250 to win. Last 11 games for the Oakland days, they are 0 and 11. That's right.
Starting point is 01:00:46 And I've been outscored by 40 runs. Just. Okay. Mike, you better friggin win. Listen, he's back. Just, have fun. Have fun, Mike. Oh, yeah, that's what he's thinking.
Starting point is 01:01:00 You're back, man. I'm going to have fun. If I don't win, I'll be back in a miners tomorrow. Win or lose, just have a good time, right? Right? Mm-hmm. I don't remember if wins or loses. Did they have a good time?
Starting point is 01:01:11 I think it's winner or lose. drink the booze, but whatever. Okay. That's not the only great return story from the major leagues. Former Blue Jays and Ozzy Klausa, Liam Hendricks,
Starting point is 01:01:23 back for the White Sox. He had to leave all of last season to beat cancer. He backed today, an incredible story for the journeyman starter turned elite closer in the big. So big shoutouts
Starting point is 01:01:40 to Liam Hendricks. Yeah, boy, Liam. turn love that guy and funny as hell not many Aussies in the bigs but good ones I thought you were going to say not many Aussies are funny no no they many have been my experience I was in meandies yeah there yeah uh okay let's go from there to NFL jimmy gee failed his physical yeah so he's got uh well got to pass that physical or they just say uh betrills too which uh I don't know. Like, the charges made fun of them for winning the Jimmy G.
Starting point is 01:02:17 sweepstakes. He did. Yeah. Do you want to win the Jimmy? Is it one of those things? I don't know. Is it hard to pass the physical? I don't know what he's doing.
Starting point is 01:02:26 It's hard for you. Yeah. None of us have passed the physical. But I just wonder, is that something that they make you, do you need to be right here? Or is it like, oh, just get them to pass the physical and we'll worry about it later. Do they want them? Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:02:40 That's what I'm saying. No. I'll see. Elsewhere locally, let's start with Calvary FC. Controversial loss, Redd in Toronto to stupid York. You don't. They missed a penalty call in the box and then later on, they had a goal that was called back for offside. Only problem was, was it offside?
Starting point is 01:03:01 You rot, sheating eastern pricks. That's right. Todd Sailoff with the Sun's got more if you want to see how they got screwed. Out east. Let those Easterners freeze. Something like that, right, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay, good.

Every chance you get, fellas, out of way. Yeah, Pete Edmonton. Yeah. Hoops. The hoops. It's the battle of Alberta. They're new to town.
Starting point is 01:04:11 of the OA. Would you be upset if we did a hoop segment with you? Because it would be silly to do the hoops without leaning on your expertise. Maybe we just give you like a 30 seconds. You walk us through what we're seeing. Yeah, I don't want to come off as a, you know, at all. So we'll just keep things on a very base level.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Did you watch the hoops on the weekend? Oh, we got one tonight. It's going to be good sports tonight. My seven-year-old's all wound up. He's got the NBA bracket. He's got the NHL bracket. He knows what's happening. Let's go.

Starting point is 01:07:17 It's a base hit. Kim is going to score the throw goes over everybody and his okarble will try to go to third and that phone goes into left field and his okrae will have a little league home run and it's three one Padres now hopefully no higher Cp. buchner had a really good look at it. Miami's challenging the alcohol at home plate. The Marlins are going to challenge that. They got their heads up their ass.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Once you start to get suits involved in your business and these fucking corporate guys who think they know what they're fucking doing. And most of them don't know jack shit. No. Okay. No. And you're starting, I tell you, you're going to see it with Barstool over the next couple of years, too.
Starting point is 01:07:57 You know, they came in and they bought it out. They bought Portnoy out. I had a situation yesterday with Barstool, you know, and it's turning into a corporate fucking shit show, too. It's what happens when you get these fucking suits involved in your business. I was watching you last week, and you said people give me your hard time for taking your new deal. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:17 Tell them to shut the fuck up. Hey, all right. I will. Hey, who don't take a better fucking job? Tell him to shut the fuck up. I'm not. White will inbound. It's off to smile for the seventh game.

Starting point is 01:09:47 There you go. Jose Abraeus first home run is an astro, and he's spreading around the basis like he has never hit one before. He is going to fly in a homebler. Wait for it. And look at this crew. They love this guy. Yes. There's a strike to Brian Anderson.
Starting point is 01:10:05 And there's a reason why the Brewers this year, 45 and 1 when they're leading after seven endings. That back into the bullpen's been really good for them. 5.1. That bitch is outside. What did you say the record was? 45 and 1. But not this year. They haven't won 45 games yet.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Yeah, well, it's probably not 45 then. So is hockey like basketball? You guys have home, home ice advantage? You like that home ice advantage? That's what they call it. Oh, okay. Jack, we got him, we got him. Jackman technology presented by the new title.
