Did say he, was he like sorry, bro? Hell no. Yeah. No. That's why I got to buy him a new bottle. Yeah, I think so. He owes me a new bottle, and he's lucky I don't sue him for emotional damage. Yes.

Ice is ready, and we are back with another episode of the Empty Netters podcast, brought to you by BetMGM, and we are joined by our boy Robbie, aka Heat Daddy, finally. Getting you on the MTV Netter's Airwaves. It's been a long time coming. Thanks guys for having me on. This is awesome. It's good to be back in Southern California. Just, you know, at a hotel.

I can't afford. I'm pretending like I can though. And I'm just living like, I'm on an NHL paycheck and I'm not, but it's good to be here. That's the game in L.A., dude. There's the fake until you make it crowds. And here's the deal.

When you're in it, you got to be in it. Like, there's no point worrying about it. Worry about it when the credit card statement comes in. Oh, you know what I mean? For sure. I was just at the bar before this at the hotel. I had my AirPods in. Like, I was literally pretending like I'm doing some sort of like foreign business deal.

Yeah. I'm talking to nobody. He did. Yeah. It's the Cayman Island account. It's the Cayman Island account. Like that's seen in The Big Short when Brad Pitt's in the British pub, like talking about billions of dollars. Oh, that's good.

Are you a banker, you fucking asshole? That's you. I like it. Yeah, exactly. Just listening to voice messages from the group chat. My buddy is just ranting about all the bets they lost this week. So speaking about MGM. Yeah.

But yeah, thanks for having me. What hotel you at? It's a Ritz, Carlton. Is it the Marino one? Yeah. It's way out of my pay grade. But I said, you know what? Like I said, I'm not afraid of an interest.

rate, I probably will be in a few years. When, you know, my stuff gets lean, leans placed on them, but, you know, worry about it then. Yes, exactly. That's tomorrow's problem. Yeah. You were thrown around numbers earlier. You've been on the road for a minute right now. Yeah.

Yeah. I've, uh, with Hockey Night and Scotts on, I don't intentionally mean to plug that right now. No, we're going to ask about it in a second. So, yeah. But yeah, we've just been going to different cities, doing like live shows, filming vlogs, stuff like that. So I've been on the road for like six weeks.

I did a little pit stop in New York. I'm from there. see my mom. But yeah, from New York right to here. And then honestly, staying out of Arizona in the summer is a priority for me. Yeah, it's too hot. You're a Long Island boy, right? Yeah, from Long Island.

So is the island as your team? So I grew up watching them because they were closer to me. But I had a childhood friend, his uncle is John Tortorella. So he actually was with Tampa, flew us down. I don't know if you flew us down. But anyway, we got to go on the locker. He flew us down, yeah. On the NHL's dime, no.

But I ended up following the Rangers when he went to New York because I was a fan of him. So I'm like a weird mixture of like both. Dude, because that doesn't really fly in New York. You can't be rocking around. Like I'm a Rangers and Islanders fan. No, it doesn't fly, no. But I feel like I have a weird excuse to, you know, be a weird hybrid of the two. If they played in the playoffs, what would happen?

I got to go with the Rangers. Got to go Rex. Okay. I got to go Rangers. I mean, that checks out. I get that. I get that. Yeah, I just follow, I've been following them more closely since I've been, you know, older.

So it's got to be them. Yeah. Is there still residual torts love? Like now that he's a Philly, are you kind of like, well, that'd be cool to see him win again? Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I like him.

I think that like hard-nosed style of coaching, like get the best out of your players type deal is I'm a fan of it. When I was playing like the very shitty level of hockey that I played, I probably wouldn't have been a fan of playing for him. Yeah, right. But like his style in general, I think. think it's cool. Yeah, yeah. I picture a playoff run of the Rangers playing Philly, then the Islanders, and Rob just slowly dying. Yeah, yeah. All the teams he loves just going head to head.

Yeah, you catch me in a, all of a sudden I'm in a Flyers jersey. You know, like, you know, people got like the Avs, Bruinsbock jersey. Rob's going to get like a three pie chart jersey of the Rangers Island. You just late. You get all the jerseys on at once, and then whoever wins, you just rip the other one off, keep it on. It's beautiful. Yeah.

When you were growing up, were you playing in that area down in the island? Yeah, so I played roller hockey and then I started ice like Bantam year. So I didn't play Peewees, Mites, any of that. The closest rinked to me, I was way out east on Long Island was like an hour away. So I like couldn't get out there. But when I finally could, I started playing like House League and like Bannam. And then, yeah, I played for, you guys know the Long Island goals? Yeah.

Okay, not them. Wasn't good enough for them, but the ice cats right below them. Oh, sick. So, yeah, I played for them. And then I had, like, a slew of injuries when I was, like, 14, which is weird. Like, broke my shoulder, ankle surgery. So if it wasn't for that, like, I would probably be in the NHL right now. I'd say, like, not McDavid.

Yeah, maybe, like, a McInnan. Yeah, 12, 12, 6 a year or something like that. Yeah, like, you know, I would take a team-friendly deal somewhere. Like, my dream as a kid was to, like, get bought out by an NFL thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sign a fat deal. Oh, dude, can you imagine how sick that? Like, dude, I remember I used to stay up.

Give you that Rick DiPiatro contract. Oh, my God. I would assign, it's so funny when they signed him to that. Like, could you imagine being him getting that call? They're like, hey, Rick, like, how does 15 years sound in the NHL? I'll be like, what? Yeah. Like, a notoriously very high fluctuation position.

Yeah. Like, yeah, that was my, I would like, I used to stay up late at night and like think about Winnipeg signing me to like a six by six. Yeah. Just playing like shit getting bought out and go play for like 900K. Tampa or something. Yeah. Go Jetsky. The dream, dude. It would be the ultimate dream. So the Heat Daddy persona,

I want to hear the origins because it has exploded into this unbelievable thing. So you're growing up in Long Island, you're playing hockey, you're around hockey, big fan of the game. At what point were you like, this is, I have an idea and I need to just completely lean into this. So I was a huge fan of the Ottawa Ghost YouTube videos. I don't know if you guys are familiar with it, but he like, yeah, the voiceovers. So I was like, this is like right up my app. I kind of want to do like a spin-off. And I remember I...

How old were you? 18? Yeah, I think it was 18. And I even messaged the guy. I remember messaging him and be like, you know, I love your shit. I want to, you know, make a Twitter. And I can't remember if you responded or not. But yeah, that's what I did.

And I just like ended up narrating Danny Healy's career. A lot of people were like, oh, you fucking copied that. You know, I never said I made up like the fucking All-Star persona. Yeah, yeah. I just thought it was, dude, I didn't know it was going to, like, blow up or whatever. So, yeah, I just made a Twitter account. started narrating his career a little bit and one day I was actually playing in New Jersey for the Titans and my goalie turned around on the bus and he's like dude you have like a thousand

followers and that was like a lot at the time. I was like I was like what like how does this happen? And I actually owe everything. I probably owe money to Taylor Hall because he's the one he retweeted one of my tweets and I went to like a thousand. I was like 10,000 and just like went out of control. So that's how it started. I was just narrating kind of like his career in a funny way, mixing in shit that I was doing, because I was, you know, I was a player too, getting healthy scratch, like a lot, so I was a little bored.

But yeah, and I just, yeah, I don't know. Now I'm here. So my question for you, because this happened to us. When we started Netters, it was kind of just a Instagram page, and we were posting, you know, memes and bullshit like that. And we distinctly remember the moment we were on camera. and a okay we are now the faces behind this do you remember the moment where heat daddy turned into like because dude the the personality is electric what was that moment when you were like i'm not narrating

heater's career anymore i'm now like this is this character that i've created that i'm going to just be every single day yeah that's that's a good question i have an exact answer so when i was at uh a Arizona state i was playing on their d i want to make it very clear their d2 club team Not their D1. They were like gearing up to go NCAA. I was like hungover every day. I wasn't even academically like able to play anything else besides like their shittiest version.

Not shitty. No disrespect to me too. But I went to the tryouts and kids were going in and out of the locker. I'm like who's the who's the not anything that you guy? Where's the heat guy? Because they knew you were there. Yeah. Yeah.

They knew were you like but not who I was. Okay. Okay. Got it. Got it. So I remember the captain of the, actually the eventual captain of the team like was going in every locker room and just asking like who's the kid that runs out of count and i was sitting there like not knowing anybody like i didn't even visit the school

when i went i just said big school is that weather's good you just applied to sight unseen i saw a youtube video of a pool party and i just said i'm playing there you're being so serious i believe you did that is what's funny that is all the fucking matter agree if i were talking to a kid right now who's like you know i don't want to be a doctor i don't want to be this or that i just want to go have a college experience. I would legitimately tell them to do that. Go to Arizona State. Go YouTube schools you're interested and see what the vibe is and just go there.

Yeah, like when I found out that I wasn't good enough to play anywhere else, like I aged out of junior, because I love playing. Dude, I was a rink rat. Like, I, dude, I remember I skipped my prom in high school to go to a practice that was like some Islanders players

were going to it. And my dad like burst in my room and he's like, what are you not like women? What do you blah, blah. And I was just like, no, I just love hockey. I just love the boys, fella. Calm down. But anyway, yeah, at the tryout, which had like a hundred kids at it, like it was insane. You know, they found out eventually who was running the account.

In my head, I don't know. Wait, how, dude? Did you say? Or, like, how did they know? No, I actually don't know. Okay. Somebody was like it's him. A guy I actually know his name.

Call him out, dude. Shout out to Mike. Yeah. Lined up next to me or you're sitting next to me on the bench and he made a comment. Like, yo, you run that account? And I just said, yeah. And that was when I was like, oh, people, like, kind of like, give a shit or they're entertained by this. So it was cool for me because I didn't really, I didn't really see it like that.

Yeah. Yeah. Because I, you know, I was on my junior team. It was funny within, like, you know, the 25 guys in the team. They knew. Yeah. Like, but going to Arizona State, it was like, oh, fuck. Like, a lot of people know about this.

Like, it didn't really translate until I got to school. And I think, like, kids didn't hit me in the trial over it. Like, I remember, like, going into the corner. Yeah. I'm like, all right, I'm going to get buried. like I'm not good I'm not elusive enough to get out of this and I kids weren't hitting me I think it was because they like like the account that's heat down so thanks though yeah yeah got me on the team dude yeah but yeah that's to answer your question that's that's probably when I realized like oh wow

people are paying attention to this a little bit and and tell everyone a little bit about what you were just saying before with the the transition of like you know I'm not narrating this anymore and now like I'm going to go create this own personality yeah so it was a it was a combination of like Heatley's career like kind of you know he was at the tail end of his NFL career

and I also kind of like was getting to the point where I'm like well I don't want to be this fucking guy like tweeting about another guy like every day and I was I was obviously making a little bit of money on it not a lot just you know something to get me through college and you know pay for everyone's cover

and feel like I'm the fucking man and I got to the point where I was like well let me just like say shit that I want to say on here and that's pretty much what happened like I didn't want to and I heard through the grapevine that it was was kind of like unwanted attention for him and I didn't want to contribute to that anymore than I already did. So I'm like, let me try to like rebrand this and just try to like see if people like my stuff, whatever that consists of, just being an idiot. But yeah, that's pretty much it.

And then it was just roll. You were like, sweet, it's working. Yeah, I was just tweeting stuff I was doing. I'm a huge fan in the game, you know, tweeting about hockey, whatever the hell. Didn't really do the whole clickbait thing where I was tweeting about things like, you know, trying to get start shit with players and anything like that. I was just trying to be myself really. That's it. Not to get all philosophical on you guys, but just tweeting what I was doing.

I think people are fascinated by that stuff because it is a, you know, when you are more behind scenes, you're doing the tweeting about heater and then shit like that or just stirring the pot. Right. It's kind of easy. And we always talk about it as like the dark side of this world when you put

your take out there on something, not not even trying to be a troll. And then some clown with a photo of happy Gilmore on their Twitter or Instagram. Yeah, yeah. Calls you a cock sucker. You're like, great. Thanks, dude. Like, that's mean.

Really brave of you. Dude, that was mean, bro. Like, I didn't appreciate that at all. Like Big Daddy 247 with a picture of not themselves. You're a cowlack. Yep. So what was the transition for you like, you know, you've got the wet jeans pod and then you got Hockey Night and Scottsdale?

Like, what's been going on with that and how did that sort of come about? And is it, I think we heard you say that, So your boy spilled a drink on his shorts. Is that how the wet jeans got named? Yeah, that's true. Yeah, we're in Santa Monica, actually. Okay, let's go. Shout out to Wes.

I'm not going to spend the whole time shout-outing people, but he spilled a coffee on his shorts. And I'm like, let's just name it, like, you know, like piss pants or something wet. Like, wet jeans just got blurted out and that was it. Great. Probably better than piss pants. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. You don't want to Google piss pants.

Wet jeans already, like, if you Google it, like Reddit things will come up and like, I don't know. That's not my thing personally. but there's a market for it. But somebody making a lot of money. There's a market for everything. But yeah, I don't know. I think I almost deleted the account, really. I got a real job while I was a junior in college.

I got my real estate license. I was like... I heard you say this. You were like selling homes to guys in the league, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I stay away from their names just because I don't know who wants to be associated with me or not. I need to stop looking in the fucking camera.

Yeah. Finish the Westings thing, but then I want to hear about the real estate stuff without any names. Yeah, I just said, like, you know, maybe I'll give this a shot, you know. I kind of like have a little bit of an audience. I'm not saying, you know, I'm some guy in TikTok that has like 10 million followers. I have, you know, some people, some eyeballs looking. Definitely. And I said, I'll give it a shot and I just started, you know, running my mouth and still trying to get better at it.

It's obviously, people don't know. Podcasting is very grueling. I would argue one of the grueling, most grueling jobs in the world. Yeah. Hey, thank you. Thank you. Preach, my man. Let's go.

So, yeah, that was pretty much. responders podcast. I'll go the other way around. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, but yeah. And then just trying to, you know, get better at it. And, and, yeah, I'm going to keep it going. Yeah, you having a blast with it?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. I love it, yeah. I bring my mic with me everywhere. I've been traveling around, like I said. Every time I'm in the airport, I get stopped because of it. They said, it looks like a water bottle or a grenade. That's what they say.

So it's like, okay, well, it's not a grenade. It's not a water bottle, it's a microphone, but I get flagged every time at the airport. Because it looks like something. But, yeah, I carried around. I just record on the go. And, yeah, just do my thing. We got to get you, like, a little laminated sheet to hand to the TSA people every time. Like, it's a microphone.

And then push it through. And they're like, wait. Oh, I see. Yeah. And then the back of the sheet says, don't be a hero. Yeah. Yeah. It's twice a week, eh?

Wednesday for out of day. Wet jeans once a week. Well, twice a week. Yeah. One's behind a paywall. Oh, sweet. Yeah. week. I always forget about that one, but I shouldn't.

No, no, don't forget about that one. That's a big one. Yeah, I shouldn't be paying attention to that. That's a big one. But yeah, twice a week. That's awesome, dude. Okay, so real estate, dude. Do you know Eddie Lack, by the way? Yeah, briefly. I met him like once in twice. He's the man. He's the league against them. Yeah. Or not house league, men's league.

Yeah, yeah. But he's in Phoenix and he's hawking houses down there too. Yeah. Yeah. He's all naked. I thought that all this stuff wasn't going to be sustainable. So I like, but I had some bad advice. so I'm not going to blame on other people, but I'm like, fuck, like, I might have to get, like, a job, dude. So I'm not going to say anything about draftings, but one of my contracts, my sponsors was very, like, it'll be good. You make a little bit of money, but then, like, okay, hockey season is not here. We're going to pull back.

So I'm like, this isn't good. Like, I'm going to try to get something that's like, you know, I can have health care maybe. Yeah, you know, that might be a part. Yeah. So I got my license. I got a job. I was in a cubicle, the whole nine yards. and just like nine months into it

I think nine or ten months I was like dude I hate this shit like fuck this this is just not for me if it's for you all the power to you but I just couldn't do it um so I got out of that office job kept my license kept doing stuff on the side while I was like pursuing like um you know

talking shit on Twitter and this kind of stuff but yeah I still have my license I think I'm hanging them up though I think I'm hanging up this is my official retirement oh god it's our second retirement Second retirement on the pod. That's huge, dude. I'm actually officially retiring from real estate right now, and it's not because I got fired.

It's not because I was tweeting pictures of cocaine. It's because it's my choice. I'm doing that. I'm stepping away. How close were you to shutting down the account actually when the real estate stuff started? Oh, really close. Dude, like I was on the page. I remember almost deactivating while I was in the office.

No way. Is that like early, like month in, two months in or what? Yeah, I'd say like halfway. through that like 10 month stint. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Because you were like, there's just no time or? I just, like, I didn't think I could do anything with it.

Yeah. I didn't, like, like I said, people are in my ear. They're like, you know, all you do is, you know, tweet about getting drunk and partying and shit. I think is, what's wrong with that? That's what Twitter's for, dude. Yeah, exactly. Like, I'm, you know, meant to be a degenerate on here. That's not even not bad compared to the rest of the cess pool that's on X.

Now. Yeah, right. But yeah, I almost, I just said like, you know, this is. is this is what I'm going to do and that industry is definitely not for me. I don't like it, you know? Real estate you mean? Yeah. Yeah. You know, guys like they throw on a blazer and pass their test and they think

they're, you know, Jeff Bezos. Right. It's just not for me. What is, my next question was going to be, was it fun at all, but I guess not. But what is it like? Is it just like, you're just trying to do a song and dance to sell the house? Yeah, no, I just hated it. It's just, uh, it's I think everyone, that whole industry is horrible.

Yeah, but, uh, yeah, you just like have to like kiss ass a lot and a lot of problems that are out of your control or like your fault. Right. And like some stuff, I could have done better. Like, I'm not, I wasn't perfect by no means. I mean, fuck. Like, you can kind of like look at me. Even if you don't know me, know that I wasn't perfect.

But it's a lot of just like eating shit like over and over and over again. I was like, I just, I don't know. I don't like it. Like I'm not down to like stand in a house and talk to you about like the mahogany cabinets and like the Italian, the back splash and shit. I just don't really care about that stuff. I just, it's not for me. Yeah.

And clearly this hockey space is for you. Yeah. And you found an unbelievable space in it. And most recently you did the Sandbagger, or at least that came out. How did you feel your performance was? I thought, I thought it was good. I thought I liked the video. I liked the job they did.

All I would have to say is that people don't understand that it was like five hours of filming. I know. Cut down to like an hour at six in the morning in Vegas. So for all these like cowards out here that are chirping my golf swing, by the way, I don't really golf that much. Yeah. It's too like, I don't know. Like I like to wear like an NBA jersey and no shoes when I'm golfing. You know, like I just mess around.

A lot of clubs aren't like that. But yeah, I thought it was good. I thought they did a great job, glove that they had us and everything. And it was a hell of a production. Yeah. I just thought that like people need to realize that like, dude, this was in 6 a.m. in Las Vegas. Yeah. But yeah, I thought it was good.

Yeah, and you guys have to drink instantly, and you're like, what the hell is going on here? Dude, I came from the Caesar's lobby ball. I was going to say, at four in the morning. And then, like, Jordan came up to me at six with both golf clubs. He's like, dude, we got to go. Like, our tea time. And I was like, oh, shit. Yeah.

I was at the bar there, and the bartender was an ex prison guard. Yep. So, like, that guy has stories. Oh, dude. He was at there all day. You should have caddy for you, dude. Yeah, well, those stories are coming. you're just drinking.

Oh, yeah, I was dialed in. Yeah, he was, I went from like, mimosa to like double tequila shot, no in between. Yeah. Just listening to the stories about this guy and his time and the prison system as a correctional officer. Those guys, they need to be paid more. Yeah, it's actually them podcasters first responders.

Yeah, that's true. They actually, yeah. We need to discover one more to get our amount much more of hardest jobs to finally get there. Yeah, definitely. But, no, it was a great experience. It was awesome. I mean, the lingo is already making waves around the internet, dude.

All the puns and everything has just been crushing. So that's been nice. That's actually why I laughed when you first asked me the question because people are like, oh, like you're trying too hard with the one-liner. It's like, no, dude. It was just six hours cut into, you know, I don't know anyway. No, it's true. Yeah, right.

No, no, good point. You're talking to perfect people. Those are spread out so, that's spread out over an entire day. And then it's jammed into one video and you're like, yeah, all right, dude. Yeah, but. That's funny. Hell of a course, by the way. Have you guys ever been up there?

No, I really wanted to. We haven't played it, but we've been there. Awesome. Oh, my God. It's unreal. And, like, now when you see the sphere in the background, too, you're like, what fuck am I? Yeah. So sick.

You almost forget, it's like 110 degrees until, like, the ninth hole. And it's like, but it's a really great course. It's awesome. We just co-hosted this golf tournament that we're going to do every year now up at Half Moon Bay. Okay, nice. That was kind of the opposite vibe, this, like, beautiful course. And late at night, we're out there, like, barefoot golfing, just gassing, dashing, beers and we were like we do not belong here.

It's hilarious. Ridiculous. And we did a video too where it's like we were doing a scramble with red like can we break a certain number? And same deal like no range, haven't been playing, got out there and I'm like teeing up with these NHL guys on camera. I'm nervous as shit. And whatever, we play fine.

You know, not very good play fine. And then all the comments are like swing sucks to it. And I'm like, fuck you dude. You shot six over-liluser and I'm like, what? What do you think I am? This is unbelievable. So yeah, they don't get it. Yeah. No, my mom asked me, like, why are people so mean?

I was like, Mom, don't read the comments. Don't know. Stay away. I stopped reading them. I can handle it. I don't care. Like, don't get me. I'm not going to lose sleep over a comment section. Like, that's just not how I am at this point.

But my mom, like, literally asked me. She's like, why is everyone so mad? And I was like, I don't know. You know, that I mean, that's the internet. People do get angry. You mentioned this earlier. Give us the rundown on Hockey Night in Scottsdale and what you guys have been filming, what's coming up,

tease some stuff coming up next. Yeah, so we started with an alt-cast. And then we're like, we're going to do during the off season? Yeah. There's no games. We can't sit here commenting games. And then we're like, okay, what can, let's do live shows.

I've never been on a stage. I've never performed anything. I was like, nervous as hell. Did one in North Dakota. I was like, I like this. This is fun. I got way too drunk for that one, though. I was like, let me just give us another shot, like, more conscious.

Ended up doing like six or seven cities where we basically like went to a city, performed a show before the game and then talked a little bit about the game, but got off the rails. Yeah. And then that was good too, but then getting back to the off season, it's like there's no games. So we just go, let's just, you know, do the old old school vlog. We'll film what we're doing.

So we just started filming vlogs and doing random shit. We have one coming out right now. I don't want to give it away, but it's a former NHL player. And he created a game in the streets of his neighborhood. I don't know if I should say this. I'm just going to say it anyway. We'll figure out later. It's called HALF.

So it's hockey golf. And he has an 18 whole course in his neighborhood. And he goes around with a hockey stick. and rubber pucks and shoots at stop signs, fire hydrants. Oh, it's just stuff around town. So it's like street, street. Struban, hockey golf.

Yeah. And he has a legitimate 18 whole course. Like he drove us around the neighborhood and he's like, okay, this is whole two, being dead serious. Yeah. And we're talking like live action neighborhood. There's cars driving by. Oh yeah.

Yep. I actually. That's kind of electric. I don't know. Yeah, we actually got rained out. It started thunderstorming. But we film, we're just filming stuff like that. So we're trying to do unique stuff like.

like that. And two are out, right? Yeah, Florida. Yeah. We did a tennis match. Yeah, Jordan and I played each other in tennis, which not a lot of people know we're like addicted to tennis. I tell you.

Do you love the U.S. Open, bro? Yeah, I can't get enough. I don't know what that's about, but I just fell in love with it. We're getting older, dude. Yeah, I know, right? I was like, I got it. It's real. We were actually joking the other day when we have so much fun playing golf or tennis.

And I remember being in high school growing up and when kids would be like, I'm on the golf team. I'd be like, fucking loser. And now I'm like, why the fuck didn't I play golf or tennis? It's way cooler. You make way more money if you make it. You can just keep playing longer. Yeah.

And now I enjoy watching the U.S. Open and the Masters on TV more than I enjoy watching NFL. It's, it is, I don't know what it is. I think it happens when you're like 30 years old. Yeah. Wait, is this awesome? Yeah. It's totally a real thing. Yeah, we love it.

We played each other in this match and we actually played each other too. Like, we were like getting kind of heated during the match. Like it was. And then we went to Florida. went to a game down there. I think the Bruins were playing. Yeah, yeah. And then we went into Everblaze.

Bro, you could fucking holding the snakes and shit? I was like, bro, I know they were like, they're not going to bite you, but I was like, no, I'm not doing that. Yeah, it was. Like, we got stuck, like, for real. Yeah. Captain, like, got it stuck. And we thought he was, you know, fucking around.

And he wasn't. Yeah. We needed to get out. There was a gator, like, right there. And like, I'm, like, not a tough guy. Like, wilderness guy like that. Like, I'm, it's like, I don't want to, you know, I don't want to get bit ideally by a gate.

That would actually be sick if that didn't happen. Yeah, I would prefer not to. But yeah, we're just doing random shit. That's great. How many you have in the can? Two. So we have two out. Two more already shot.

Yeah. Yeah. We went to Edmonton, kind of like, we didn't do a live show, but we said like we're going to show up to the bar, like give us microphones, we'll see what happens. And we kind of like ate shit a little.

That was the first time I ever like bombed on stage, which is really cool. Which bar were you at? Greta. Greta. Yeah. Yeah. So the first like six shows we did.

Yeah. I've never been up there. it went like surprisingly well and I was like when's going to be the moment where I get on stage and like there's crickets because it's gonna happen Evanston was it it happened yeah

well they were so worried about the game they were down I want to say they were down 02 probably yeah yeah during the cup yeah bro yeah oh that's 100% like no one wants to I promise you no one wants to hear me in a bar with a microphone when the game's on it's like

but we didn't really take that into account but live and learn like yeah yeah I mean We're going to caveat that one. For sure. There's an asterisk on that bomb because that's just the worst time to be trying to entertain Edmonton fans. Oh, they were like, get this fucking guy out of here. Yeah. Like they were like tired of it.

Yeah. If we're sticking on hockey right now, you have, this is very close to our hearts. You've been very vocal about the Swamen contract situation and how he should go get his. Yeah. Oh, main guys, right? Yeah, buddy. Connection. Yep.

And could not agree more. Uh-huh. So what do you think that number? is. Like what do you think? If you're GM of the Bruins, what are you giving swimming? Not that. Because I feel like that, right, you're going to negotiate down.

I'm saying as an objective hockey fan, what... Okay, yeah, yeah. I think below 10. Okay. But a shade below 10. Like, I wouldn't... So you think it is the Macawood deal, like eight by nine and a half? I don't know about eight years, though, but I...

He's like 25, dude. He's 24 or some shit. I give him a fucking... I give him an eight by eight. or eight by nine. There we go. Eight by nine. Yeah. Eight by nine feels good.

I changed my mind. I was going to say, he's 25. I think so, dude. Yeah, I give him eight years. Eight by nine. I want him to get his money.

I'm a big players guy. I want the players to get their money. I think the owners should get like one percent of league revenue and players should get 99 percent. But we say it all the time. We say it in the comments all the time. I'm very vocal on X, Twitter or whatever.

It's like, yes, we do stuff with the league, but we are a players podcast. We are players people. And not naming it. games, but every now and then if a member of a team or a member of the league hits us up and is like, dude, you know, don't do this, say this. I'm like, you don't fucking pay me. Yeah. I like these guys. Yeah. And we've talked to too many guys who are like, listen,

man, playing in the league is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. If there's any advice I could give every player, it's get every fucking cent you can. And it's like, I agree. You know, it's a business. Like, don't forget, it's a business. It's a business. You got to take care of yourself. They also just got like passion hack on discount, Mars. No, discount. Burr-Gron was playing like a broken neck, legs, fucking everything, discount. And he's a goalie. He's a good goalie.

I think he's their guy. I think he's always been their guy. No disrespect to Omar. He's a great goalie, too. But yeah, I think he should get his money. And I love when guys get paid. Like, I always joke about Jeff Skinner. Yeah.

And being like that guy. But like I said earlier, like... Getting bought out as a dream, baby. Yeah. And I don't know the whole... I think people don't really understand the dynamic of, like, like you said, the business. Like it is a business.

These guys have families. There's definitely factors in their life while they're like they're gunning for the money. Not gunning for it, but they deserve it. Yeah. But there's a lot of external factors that like go into them, you know, wanting to get their ask. 100%. So yeah. I can't tell you how pissed I get in the common section or on X when people are just like these clowns sitting on their recliner.

Don't take a team friendly deal, you fucking asshole. And I'm like, shut the fuck up. Yeah, no, I'm taking the anti-friendly deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want the worst deal. Give me that Leon deal. Yeah, for sure. It's ridiculous.

It sucks, too, because it's like, right now the bees are being like, well, we only have this much cap space, so, you know, here's what we can give you sway. But I'm like, you created that little cap space with the Lindholm deal and the Zodoroff deal. And I'm excited about those signings. But just to sign, to take the cap with what it was here and not put aside an amount that sway deserves. Yeah. And then start negotiating.

is insane to me. Yeah. Well, you know what frustrates me is I think they did exactly that, but now... That's why he wants more. No, I don't even think that's the case. I think it's a, there's a perfect amount left, but certain people don't want to make it look like, oh yeah, we're giving you everything when it's like, no, that looks, there's a way you can spend that that it looks genius. Yeah, right. Like you had a certain amount of money, you went and got two great UFAs, you, and then you extended your guy and you're like, boom, look at that math. Perfect. Yep.

But they're being difficult, so we'll see. Yeah, I think there's a misconception, too, with, like, the loyalty thing. I'll give you an example, like, March or so. I thought that guy should be retire a night. Yeah. Like, for sure. Like, that guy should be a night. Like, absolutely.

And I don't know, like, a whole lot. Like, I'm on the outside looking in. I think the problem was, like, term maybe. Like, he wanted more term and they wouldn't give it to him. Where it's like, well, what the fuck? Like, you know, what are we doing here? Like, then there's a guy right there who was loyal to organization. He won.

Yep. And they won't give them, you know, whatever extra. And, you know, like, take this with a grain of salt. I'm not saying, you know, I'm Elliot Friedman over here with the inside information. But they wouldn't give him the term he wanted, which is just rumor. Yeah, yeah. No, you can say that. He has come out and said that.

Oh, has he? Okay. All right. That is what happened. But, like, it goes both ways. Like, the team wouldn't, you know, honor, you know, him when he deserved it. It's like, I don't know. There's a lot of politics.

People don't know. Stammer. Stammer, too, right? Like, stammer is a fucking predator. That's crazy. What, dude? insane. Yeah.

That's insane. Predators are going to be good, by the I'm fucking They're going to be nasty We're there all time Because we get the bar out there Oh really? It's like, dude

I'm excited I'm going for the first time in October Oh no way Yeah never been Which is insane What days you go on? October 17th to the 20th Maybe I'll see if we can dial that up too

Yeah They play the wings It's a matinee game So I'm not gonna be able to see the puck Probably by the second period But I'm going in that game Okay Yeah we'll get you dialed in on that

That'll be sick Yeah that'll be awesome Taking a quick break to talk about Cash app. You know a bunch of those other apps in the game right now where you can send and transfer money, but I'm here to tell you that they stink compared to Cash App. They've got terrible search engines.

Where we go. Speaking of the bar, little tie-in, company tie in here, because one of my favorite

bits of yours by far is the, um, they let us get to Friday. It's like my favorite hat, the whole thing, dude, so sick. Appreciate it. But dude, we're sitting here at Friday beers, dude. We get to Friday every day. I'm wondering. You're eating ice cream with the enemy. Yeah. I'm wondering if you're, are you, are you, are you, are you jealous? Are you going to, is this an inside job to sue us? How do you feel about that? Yeah, I actually have lawyers outside right now with subpoenas. I don't even know what subpoena means, but they're out there. It sounded perfect, though. It sounded perfect. They're out there. Yeah, they're out there with cease and desist and the whole nine yards. But, I mean, if you guys, you know, if you guys pay me like anywhere between like 50 and 100 million, I'll get a slide.

Yeah, it might be okay. I'll talk to, I'll talk to our boys. I'll talk to our boys. Yeah. I do think at the very least, because we obviously make those almost Friday shirts and everything. I do think we need an almost Friday with you on it. Yeah, that'd be awesome. It would be just like an ideal collab. You know, because you've been banging the Friday drum for years. Yeah, people have been asking me for merch and stuff, but I just been on the road, which is weird, because I was never busy. I was like the big, like, not that I'm not a shithead now, but like I was just like, yeah, whatever.

Like, I'll go here. Oh, you guys are in Vegas? I'll cut. Like, whatever. Yeah, sounds good. But now I'm on the road a little bit more as of like a year and a half ago, and I just like can't, like, ship T-shirts because I do it all myself. Like, even in college.

Like, you guys should have seen my dorm. I'll show you a picture after this. My college dorm was just like floor to ceiling with Merrill. No way. The whole thing. Yeah. Like my CA would come in and be like, what's all this shit? And I'd just be like, oh, it's for my frat.

I wasn't even in a frat. I was like shipping t-shirts, sweatshirts, like straight out of my dorm. Like that was like, like doing dumb shit. Like I bought like two cars. Yeah. I only had parking space for one. Like I was just, you know. Isn't that the best though?

Like looking back on those days and like seeing where you are now, it's amazing being like, what a fucking journey. It's already been. Yeah. It was a lot of lessons, to be honest. Oh, I'm sure. Like, you know, I could run my mouth about it. Like, I remember the moment where I got an, I probably shouldn't say this, but that's

just a story in my life. I got an IRS letter sent to me for back taxes. Yeah. Hell yeah. And I was like, I don't even know what you guys are talking about. The fuck is Iris. What is that? Yeah.

Yeah. Who is Iris? Yeah. Is she up? Yeah. What's your Instagram? Why are you sending me a letter? Yeah, did DM me, dude.

Hey, Iris. Are you Hispanic? Yeah. I like Hispanic, yeah. But anyway, the bilingual did, bilingual.

But yeah, I got, I was selling, I was, I had this website that like, looked like a third grader made it because I didn't even

take credit cards for the first, like, year because I didn't know how. And it was, I was running it, like out of my dorm selling these teachers. But they like mail you cash

or what the fuck? Just PayPal. Oh, PayPal. Yeah, yeah, nice, yeah. So like, I was selling, you know, T shirts, hats,

merch, all this shit. Like, and my business address was my, dorm, which is crazy. It's so illegal. You can't have a business address on school property. And I got that letter and I was like, you owe like all this money. I was like, I don't even have that. Because like I bought two cars. Right. Yeah. So like, so like, dude, tell me you got repoed. No, I did it. I did it. Okay. No, I got, I got rid of one and then I basically like not to get too

in depth about my finances, but I had to basically get on like a payment plan. This is like 2015. Yeah, yeah. Payment plan because I didn't know any better. I didn't like higher. Like a tax attorney and I was like, what do you mean I owe this and that? Like, what do you mean people bought the shirt? It's my money. Yeah. I just learned the hard way. Yeah.

But I don't even know how I got on this tangent. But yeah, it was just like a whole learning experience of like not the business side of things. But anyway, that's what I was doing with my teachers and stuff in school. Now I'm on the road. It's harder for me to like be have a home base and be managed. With the merch game. With the merch game. Yeah.

Yeah. So we'll use our shop. We'll get you the almost Friday. Yeah. I think that'll crush. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I'll just get. The benefit. Yeah. Perfect. But you're slinging merch. You're also a king of hot takes online, and there's a couple that I want to really pick your brain on. You once said that your worst imaginable four-top dinner. Is Megan Rapino, Rob Deerick, and Tyler Sagan.

Oh, shit. Why? I stand by that. Yeah, yeah, why? I want to know why. I don't know Megan Rapino, but she just strikes me as somebody that just wants the week to end on Thursday. She just has no interest at being Friday. doesn't really know what it's like

to be at a happy hour on Friday. It's something that you can't really replicate. I feel like she's just kind of anti-having fun. I don't know. So far I'm with you, by the way. It's really the next two that I take issue with. Okay. Take issue.

Okay. The second one, Rob Deerick. Someone needs to investigate what's going on in the fantasy factory because you scan my ass. Oh, shit. Okay. Okay. Yo, dude.

Like, watching Rob Lotton, man. Like, watching Rob, Robin Digg, Robin Digg was a huge part of my prep school. You loved it, dude. That's the only reason I even know. Where you go to prep school? I went to Philip Sandover. Oh, fuck, dude.

I visited there, I think eighth grade. Do you see exit? I went to Exeter. Do you see there too? Oh, did you? Yeah. Cushing. Yeah, hell yeah.

And I found out I'm like, I can't afford this. Did they escort you off campus? No. No. I, uh, yeah, no, I was like visiting there for like hockey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, Rob Deirdick bought a clip off me that I filmed at the bar. And it was like some kid who was like passed out. Some girl was like, you know, twerking on his head. It was something stupid.

Yeah. And they like bought it off me. Oh, is this for ridiculousness? Yeah. Got it. And then they didn't send me the money. And I was like, what the fuck? Like I signed like a contract for this.

Like where's the money? And there's like, oh, we're not going to air it. So they didn't air it. But in like the fine print, it was like, if we don't air this, you're not going to get the money. And obviously, like naturally, I'm. didn't read the fine print. I didn't read the contract. I just signed it,

which is like, probably the smartest thing you do is signing contracts. So I was, like, stoked that I was going to get this. And again, it wasn't a lot of money, but keep in mind,

like, I'm in school. Yeah, I'm just, like, all I'm trying to do is, like, have enough money for the week. Like,

I got back taxes, dog, I need that money. Yeah, that's actually true. I need to pay my voice cover at the fucking bar. Like, like,

I need to pay this Irish chick. Yeah. So, um, yeah, I, like, expected that to come in and it didn't and then they like gave me this whole like they basically bait and switched me and there's like we didn't use it on the show so you're not like getting the money and

I was like you know what fuck rob dear dick then and I'm gonna hold the grudge forever yeah okay so I'm now I'm now back in on two of them do yeah okay so now tell me that's that you can do by the way it's yeah now tell me save one holy shit um this is like 10 years ago okay not a grudge guy besides rob dear dick and besides Tyler sagin but I was in a bar and weird like something bad happens in that bar, it never happens. But I had a bottle in my hand that I bought, and I was with some of the coyotes players that I know, I'm welcome there.

And he probably won't remember this. I don't care if he doesn't, because it happened. I specifically remember it. I think about it almost every single day. He came up to me, spiked the fucking bottle out of my hand, and then said some sort of like explicit, like, get the fuck out of here or something like that,

or what are you doing here? Something along those lines. I don't want to put words in his mouth, even though I have over a 10-year grudge against him. And I was like, what the fuck's that about? And then somebody on the coyotes, so I'm not going to name, but I remember, I was like, hey, we know this guy. He bought his own shit.

Yeah. Mooching on the table. Like, you know, he's fine. Like, leave his guy alone. And then ever since then, I just like. Did say, was he like, sorry, bro? Or was he just? Hell no.

Yeah. No. That's why I can't. You got to buy him a new bottle? Yeah, I think so. He owes me a new bottle, and he's lucky I don't sue him for emotional damage. Yes. Because I've been losing sleep over this every day for the last 10 years.

Dude, this is another $50 to $100 million deal. Yeah. If after this episode drops, Deardek sends you, PayPal's you money, and Sagan buys you a bottle and has a messenger delivered at your house. Can we get, I don't have faith in Deerick, but can we get, can we get Sags off your shit list? Yeah, could he get you a bottle and we're cool? Yeah. All I want is a bottle of Grey Goose back. That's it.

That's all I want. And I don't even like Great Goose anymore. I just had it, but it's a principal thing. I thought it was cool. Yeah, but it's a bottle of Grey Goose that was taken from you in your life. You need it back. Yeah, I'm like, I've been, you know,

this has been a big issue for me for a long time. We're going to make this happen. And also, he's my draft year. So I actually, and no disrespect to Taylor Hall because I met him once or twice. He's really nice guy, like whole reason for probably one sitting here because he retweeted me 14 years ago, whatever it is.

But I thought like Segan was a more dynamic player and I thought he should have went first overall. So when he spiked that bottle out of my hand, I said, you know what? Fuck this kid. Yep. Should have gone second round. Halsey's my guy. Yeah.

I don't even think you should have went first anymore. Yeah, right. Yeah. Okay. So we'll get the Sags get you bottle. He comes off. Who replaces him? Do you guys know him?

Not that well. We cross paths because we know a lot of guys that know him. Yeah. I guarantee you if you heard the story, he would be like, that didn't happen. But I promise you. I will look you both in the eyes. Are there guys on Utah who can corroborate this story? Not on Utah anymore

On a different team still in the league Not sure if you remember it But he was the guy that said I bet he does I bet he does Who replaces Sags at the worst dinner of all time If we get Sags off your shit list Oh man

You think about it Think about it We'll come back Who replaced it so it'll be Rapino Deer Dick And then Black I'm trying to I don't know

I don't have that many enemies Think about it. Yeah, yeah, that's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's a great question. Okay, well, another food question for you because I saw you tweeted this and it like,

you've tweeted this multiple times. You know what? Johnny Luzeris. I'm just kidding. That's so good. I'm just kidding. I can't wait until he hears that. Oh, my God.

I'll think about it though. Dude, you've been tweeting a lot. I think you're on the road a lot, right? But you've been tweeting a lot that you had got crumbs in your bed. And I'm like, dude, stop eating in the. in the bed. Uh-huh. And, like, we travel a lot, too.

And it's, like, the number one thing you can't do. Mm-hmm. Because, like, you need that sleep, dude, you need that rest. You cannot be eating in your bed. How do I get you to stop doing it? Good luck, because it's a very serious disease I have. Yeah. It's been diagnosed.

Yeah. It's real doctors and everything. It's also in my bed. Do you not know the towel trick? No. You've got to go get one of your towels from the bathroom and lay it over you, like, a bib. Oh, yeah. Because then you just fold it up.

All the crumbs, all the spills are in there. toss it on the floor. That sounds practical, but when I'm, like, walking in a room at the end of the night, like, my brain is just, it's in a blend. Your brain is salsa.

It's, like, not an eat as fast as possible. Yeah, like, nothing I'm doing is rational. Like, I've used,

like, a Big Mac as a pillow before. I've, like, it's, I'm disgusting. I don't even know why you guys have me here. I picture you

pouring the salsa out onto the bed and just, like, dipping it like, like, the bed is the ball. But that's actually not a bed. It's not a horrible thought.

It's not horrible thought. dude something else they're gonna think that's something else like what is all right they're like oh it's been a murder yeah yeah true crime doc on our hands you're like no dog is a bag of tostitos yeah it's just me and like medium salt not even medium i'm i could barely handle like ketchup oh you're a mild guy yeah dude i'm just so like irish and ukrainian like anything spicy like much i can yeah like i'll eat ketchup and like need to drink milk it's too yeah she's like bread i start sweating yeah yeah like it's pathetic yeah it'll get you okay so incurable incurable all right i had to ask incurable but it's all right yeah there's nothing the only thing that would stop me is like not

going out yeah yeah yeah we're not eating but that would you'd have to not be going out and drinking to not eat so it's like you know it snowballs yeah yeah it's yeah it's yeah it's a big problem yeah carrying my family apart yeah related to this situation is another take of that we completely agree with okay hotels way better than air bann b's i hate Airbnb dude dude i'm i'm new to this take because i was i when Airbnb came out i was Like, this is the greatest idea of all time. And I still believe, frankly, that there is a time for it every now and then. If it's like a bachelor party and there's a house that can fit 15 of the boys or whatever.

And it's like everyone's got to, like, that one we actually was in Arizona. The one we did for Kev's. I'm like, sick. There is a time still for Airbnb's. But now, dude, now we travel so much. I'm like, no. I'm going to a hotel where there's a fucking mini bar and people cleaning up my stuff. Yeah.

And it's amazing. Dude, the fact that we're playing, we pay, you go to Arizona. Airbnb you pay a cleaning fee and then when you fucking leave they're like strip all the beds put them in the laundry run the washing weight i'm like are you fucking like what else do you want like do you want a massage too and you come home you want you want you want to like rub and a tug what else do you want it's insane i i'm gonna go step further we need cabs i'm out of over too yeah i actually i agree with that dude we used to have we used to live in a world where there was a service industry yeah with cabs and hotels and you paid money to go there and then people took care of shit for you yeah now we've got billions doing these things and they're just entitled pricks who just drive me insane. Yeah, true.

It's unbelievable. A cab used to get in a cab and the cab driver was like this. I'm not going to speak to you because I'm doing a job. And I know where I'm going. I know where I'm going. There was a respect for cabs on the road. Now I just got Jonathan and his Prius driving like a dickhead and asking me what my weekend was like. Shut up, Jonathan.

Trying to like make you listen to his mixtape. Yeah. Bring back cabs where you get in and the guy is on FaceTime with like 40 other people. He's not even looking at the road. and he's just like talking the whole time and he's driving and he's beeping I was gonna say mixing in a horn I don't even know what he's beeping at

the passenger side seat yeah like he's playing RuneScape like dude I was in an Airbnb in Montreal and I shit you not a guy came from the downstairs upstairs upstairs into the kitchen and was like who are you and it was a guy

in the basement what during our stay and I was like dude was he tied up no no we had nothing to do with this but he was like we didn't know like you can rent like partial house or like the whole house? Oh yeah yeah like my friends are like and I'm a dumbass too

they're like we're on the same like echelon of like dumbasses is echelon a word yeah hell yeah you can pull that up but like there was a guy in the house and we didn't know and like I'm like dude this is weird I've had Airbnbs where people like come back and there's like oh we forgot something blah blah blah like it's just I don't know I don't like it I just hotel bars I'm sold that's it that's it yeah we got the next time you go to Detroit, we got the great hotel for you. In Detroit? Yeah. Holy shit. I know. Airport's sick by the way.

I've been to LCA? No. LCA is the arena. Oh no, no, I haven't. I haven't. Dude, I haven't. I haven't. I'm a big Detroit guy. Okay. Dude, and this hotel is like right next to the rain or you know right by the rank. I don't need people going. But it's like it, because dude, the rank is like right next to the baseball park and the

football stadium. So like the hotel looks in, you could watch a game. You can just like watch a fucking tiger's game from your balcony. It's amazing. Detroit is slept on. I know I know people from Detroit that are like nice people, great people. Like the airport, like I said, I got delayed there for like eight hours. I didn't even care. I was walking around like trying to look for a wife in there.

Like it was so nice. It was like. Good people, dude. Good people. Good people. Babes, I want to bend your ear real quick about my favorite drink in the game and it's Ricky. I'm not lying. It's right here.

When it comes to canned cocktails, Ricky is changing the game. They're using award-winning vodka and tequila. in their drinks along with all natural fruit juice. No added sugars. It's all delicious, fresh tasting flavors, and they've got some of the best different flavor profiles in the game right now. Also, 7% ABV in each can. That's much higher than all the other competitors, so you're getting one and a half shots per can. So you don't need to guzzle down 15 of these to feel like you're getting the buzz with so many of the others chalky, awful tasting canned cocktails. Ricky is delicious. It's cool, crisp, refreshing, and you feel good.

You feel like you've just drank something that was made fresh for you by the bartender right behind the bar. Like I said, those unbelievable flavors, they're coming at you with everything. And both the vodka and the tequila drinks, me and myself, I'm a huge watermelon guy, huge pineapple guy, but they got everything. Black cherry, they've got grapefruit, they've got cranberry, whatever you want. Ricky's got you covered. I can't tell you how often I bring this stuff around. We just did an unbelievable golf tournament up in San Francisco. We packed all the carts.

The cart girl had them. We had them at every tea box. Rickies were flying off the shelves. Everyone was skipping the beer, skipping all the alternatives, and drinking Ricky because it tastes better, and it just provides a better buzz. So next time you're kicking back with a nice party, you've got to fill up the cooler, fill up the fridge. Ricky is the no-brainer. It's going to be everywhere for you and make sure you go to rickyspirits.com to check out where you can pick it up.

Follow Ricky spirits on Instagram, follow Friday beers on Instagram to figure out when we're doing different promos, giveaways, and things like that. But make sure you check out Ricky. I got a party this weekend. People say, oh, it's after Labor Day. Summer's over. Wrong. I live in L.A.

So it's summer all the time. We're going to be at an unbelievable outdoor bar, and you better believe I'm going to have Riky's flowing because they are the best canned cocktail in the game that make you feel like it's summer all year round. Try one today. Hold up. Wait a minute.

You love writing. He'd like being a writer with a cool thing. So tell me, A, kind of when that started with you, and B, what would be one or two dream TV shows that you would be like, oh, I wish I could write on that show. Okay, well, I started writing when this is kind of a pathetic answer, but it's true. When Twitter expanded the tweet limit and you could tweet more, I like started writing shit that was a little bit longer. And I'm not saying like, you know, I'm goddamn Jake.

okay wronging, but I started like writing out things more. And I was like, dude, I actually really enjoy this shit. So I started just writing in my notepad, just whatever. It could be one line. It could be a whole thing. It could be, I don't know if you guys have seen my John Torrella screenplays. I have a lot of those banked. But yeah, I just really enjoyed it.

Putting like whatever the hell is going on my head. I don't know like how I got like this, but just on paper. So I just started doing that. I haven't really done anything with it yet. But the honest answer to that is when they expanded tweeting. I was like, I actually like sitting there, like, writing a bunch of bullshit. But it's fun, yeah. I like it.

So that's how that started. And then, oh, man, any show. They don't need to be current. Yeah, yeah. Any show that's ever existed. Curbrian enthusiasm, even though a lot of it's improv, though. But I would like to be in like that kind of comedy. And then easily eastbound down.

Nice. Not even close. Really good one. Really good one. That dude, what's his name? Danny McBrose. ride. Yeah.

Genius. That guy's an absolute. So fucking funny. Something like that. And I hope to be a part of something like that one day. For sure. Like not to, you know, pump my own tires, but I think like writing stuff like that, like Eastbound down kind of like that kind of comedy or whatever is something I'd be like I'd love to do.

Yeah. No, that's actually, I love that tone for you, honestly. Like that's a really, did you ever see, um, VEP? No. It's, um, this. Wait, really? No. Oh, what is that?

Veep is, sorry. Cut you off, but Veep is, was an HBO show, it's about the vice president, exact same tone as curb, as eastbound and down. It's like, what was it on?

HBO. Okay, go on Max and you can watch the whole. I think it's top three funny. It is the greatest use of profanity. I'm dead serious. I've ever seen the things they say to each other in that show,

like the creativity required to come up with the insults that they fire around in that show. the show. I think that was 90% of what the writer's room was. It was just coming up with it. Fucking hilarious. Even like a,

like this isn't a TV show, but dumb and dumber. Like I go back and I watch that and like every line is funny. Like it's actually fucked up how funny that movie is. Like it's like stuff like that. Those comedies don't exist anymore. No, they don't.

We have to put them in a museum. It's unbelievable. I would love to like be a part of something that brought that back. Yes, dude. I think it's coming though. It is bro. Because we just went through like five years or whatever. Like I'm not going to like put a time frame on it.

But anything. thing you said kind of got chastised, like you couldn't even, you know, it's hard to not offend somebody. And now I think people are like finally coming along where it's like, dude, I just want to laugh again, you know, like fuck it. Like being offensive isn't always personal.

People take it so personal. Like, no. Again, I'm not trying to be like fucking, you know, I know what's going on. Dude, comedy is like comedy can exist. It's not, we're not, I think there's a very real space where it's like comedy and jokes at anyone's expense is not meant to insult. It's meant to make us all laugh.

For sure. Yeah. Laf at ourselves. It's okay. Yeah. Hopefully something like that can come back in the future. Yeah. It's needed.

I love that. Speaking of movies, we got to have you power rank some OG classic hockey movies. Okay. Slapshot, Youngblood, Miracle, all three ducks, mystery Alaska, and goon. Okay. So rank those one through eight. Okay, so I'm going to put Miracle at one, but I have to have an asterisk because they over did, like, everything's a one line. Like, I don't know if you guys saw this, but I saw, oh, bro.

I fucking, I fucking saw it, dude. I sat in my kitchen. Every, they, like, every line is so crazy. And the Herb Brooks accent was, like, crazy. And also, no disrespect to, like, actually, full disrespect to Disney, they made Craig Patrick, like, look like a bitch. And, like, Craig Patrick's not a bitch. Is he still alive? I think he is.

Yeah. I just want to make sure. Like, I don't know. He's not like that. I don't know him. just threw the, like, and they made him look like, Herb's like, again. And then he's like, okay, Herb, like, whatever. Yeah.

Herb, they made him look like kind of like a milk drinker. And it's like, he's not like that. So, I like Miracle just because I grew up watching it. And I thought I was, like, inspiring until I found out that the real reason United States won was because the Russian team went out with the figure skaters the night before and got really hammered. Like, that's why

Chet Jack couldn't see the puck. You guys ever hear about this? Dude, I actually haven't heard this. This is fucking amazing, bro. Because they pumped them full of lead earlier so that let's just go get banged up with the figure skating Figure skaters for the Soviet Union won the gold. So then the hockey guys went out with them and got shit-faced. And then the next day they were playing a role Team USA. Yeah. And they didn't. But I don't like saying that because obviously I'm proud to be an American and I'm glad they won. You might have to delete this. This is perfect. This is perfect. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. I've been bragging about that wind my whole life, dude, and I didn't know.

Yeah, Trediac was like hammered. Like, he was literally, yeah. But anyway, I don't know. Okay, so Miracle, I'd say one, and then all, you guys are going to hate me for this, but I've seen Slapshot only in bits and pieces. Okay. No, that's okay. Which is crazy, though.

It's an old movie, I get it. But I'd say all the Mighty Ducks, because they're legendary. They're like a staple movie. Yeah. Same. Right here. I watched those movies so many times growing up. We just did.

You got to listen. We did a couple of Eps rewatching them. It was fucking hilarious. Full movie breakdown. Yeah, that's a good idea. It was really fun. You know what? We might have to do Slapshot with Rob.

Oh, that's a great idea. Yeah, that actually would be great because I could watch it and have real reaction. Because I don't really remember, and this is pathetic, but I don't really remember that whole movie. I've seen it. That's what's so funny about it is like we've got love for the Ducks movies as well. And then when we did the rewatch, they're just, when you're watching it taking notes, you pay attention to so much more. And there are laugh out loud, absurd moments in these movies. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, that's like when Fulton Reed like hits that, he fucking hits that car with his slap shot. Gorham Bombay is like, yo, that was a nasty shot and starts chasing him through an alley. I was like, what is going on? Like, no one's ever been recruited like that before. So shout out to Fulton Reed, like hell of the canon.

Like that guy, talk about just, I don't know, I'm trying to compare him to someone. It's raw talent, dude. Shea Weber. Yeah, that's Shea Weber. Yeah. So yeah, the ducks and then I go. In order?

Like our ducks. Do you like one the most, two, the next most, three, the next most? Or? I like the one where they're skating through the mall. That's D2. That's D2. Yeah, yeah, no. They're teaching Fulton how to skate.

One, when they're teaching Fulton, they're through the mall. Yeah. Okay, so Miracle. But in D2, they roll a blade outside. Yeah. And then in D3, Fulton and Charlie are in the mall. Yeah. Now, so it's one.

So Miracle, D1, D2, D3. Yeah, I'd have to go all the Mighty Ducks in a row. And then slap shots eighth, right? Because we don't. Yeah. Yeah. I say Mr. Alaska is right below that and then... Five and then Young...

What's left? Oh, Youngblood. Gune. Oh, Goon. Yeah, I mean, I like Goon a lot. Shout out to Jay Bereschel, by the way. I said it wasn't going to do shoutouts. But yeah, I like Goon.

It's just for that. It wasn't as like a classic for me. Like, growing up, like those are the ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mr. Alaska, Youngblood, Goon. We're in Bombay. Like, dude, every now and then I get, like, I have, you know, one of those nights where I'm having a couple.

and I just think about the sequence of events where he gets in trouble with the law. Then he has to coach his team. Then he ends up like whacking Charlie's mom. And then Charlie's like the star player. But then he isn't, but then he is again. Yeah. And I'm like, this guy is coaching the national team.

I'm like, this guy, like, what a career. Dude, what a career. He was a week away from the NHL call up, dude. Yeah, so close. Tough when your knee blows out. Back then, too, when he was playing for the Minnesota Wave, I think. Yeah, yeah. Technology wasn't that good.

No, no, no, no. No, no. That knee injury is going to haunt him for life. It's like Bobby Orsha. Like you blow out your knee and you're just done. That's so shitty. It's unbelievable. We're going to talk some actual NHL stuff,

but the last bit I want to ask you about was, this is my second favorite of your bits behind the Friday one, is the kind of day bit. You know, it's Gordon Bombay driving a limo on a frozen lake kind of day. So I want you to give us what today is a kind of day, and I tried one. I tried to riff one.

Tell me what you think about it, okay? I think this is a Stevie Weeks busting so fast he couldn't even get his snow pants off kind of day Oh, I like that. Because I was so excited. Do you think that's a good thing? No, I'm just so excited. Oh, okay, all right.

It's the Stevie Weeks busting. Yeah, busting so fast he couldn't get his snow pants off kind of day. That could be considered a... That could be a bad day, I guess. That's a sneaky aggressive one for a Tuesday. I don't know. But I like it. I hear that.

I'm like, what happened on Tuesday? Jesus Christ. That is, fuck, I didn't consider the Tuesday fact. Yeah, and I'm just saying like that could be misconstrued as a catastrophe. Yeah, that's a bad day. Yeah. It's kind of a nail gun move though. Yeah, it is.

Dude, because it's a compliment, you know? Yeah, I mean, if you like come in your pants, ideally, that's not like an ideal, I just said ideally twice, but that's not like a great scenario. Yeah. It's kind of a nail gun mood to just like let it rip, you know. And if you're going to do it in any pants, snow pants. People know you're ready to go. Yeah, I know.

And if you're going to do it in any pants, snow pants are pretty water resistant, you know, so I think it's an easy to clean, you know. Nobody's going to know. Nobody's going to know. No. Yeah, better than my sweatpants. I actually might start going out in snow pants. That's actually not a bad move. And people know what you're wrong on that day too.

They're like, oh, you're running the rock. No, I like that one. I agree with that. Yeah, I have no qualms with that. That makes you feel good. Is quam a word? Yeah, dude, you've been a dictionary. Webster over here.

I don't know, what the hell is in this? Dictionary all day. Dude, aren't these gas? All of a sudden, my vocabulary is expanded. It's improving. These are funny, dude. Yeah, I like that one. All right, before we get on to some fun stuff,

with you a little game that we like to play um i got to get your quick predictions for the season okay i know you were loyal to the oil last year yeah how are the scars on that one dude i don't want to talk about yeah okay it's uh no it's it's tough i want to see mac david lift that fucking thing you know i like dry saddle too yeah um i first of all i do have a bone to pick with the oilers i'm a big c cc guy oh okay yeah everyone that plays like six 700 games in the league i'm the and they're in their, you know, late 20s, you're doing something right. I don't give a shit what organization you're in, whatever, like people, you know, guys get hurt, good luck. If you're playing that many games in the league, like, you're, it's not an accident.

When they, when he went to San Jose, I don't even remember, is it his choice or not? I think he signed there. Well, I think he signed there, right? Because, didn't he get bought out? Maybe I have a bone to pick with him. No, C, C, C got dealt. He got dealt. He got dealt.

He got dealt. He got dealt. He got dealt. He got dealt. Okay. So I have a bone to pick with oilers now. Yeah, yeah. Okay, but you're still going to root. You're still rooting for it.

Yeah, yeah. I'm a fan of the team in general, for sure. So give me your cup winner, a sneaky team to make the playoffs, a sneaky team to miss the playoffs, and then your MVP. Okay, cup winner, I'm going to go with Nashville. Oh, hell yeah, dude. Love. God. They're stacked.

They're absolutely stacked. Team to make the playoffs, is that the next one? Yeah, but like, yeah, that would surprise you. Also, a sneaky miss. Okay. Sneaky one to make it. Utah dude that one

Rob's firing right now Rob's firing right now Utah sneaky one to miss it I'm gonna go with I don't want disrespect to people on that team but oh dude do it Do it do it no Do it do it

Oilers Yeah yeah Bring this I was gonna go I don't even know if it's sneaky I was just gonna say Actually I was gonna say rhymes with Begus

but dude I said that I don't want to say because I love their team me too me too I have friends on that team And also doesn't it feel so stupid to bet against them For sure absolutely Literally the house always wins Yeah no I don't actually think that too I know but they they scare me in a way that like

You said it wouldn't that record the day One or two tricky injuries And I think they're out Because it's like you know they don't have as much depth That they had they used to be able to survive those injuries Like Ike was out two months They're like, whatever, you know, plug and play, we can survive. I think if they stay healthy, they'll be hard out.

But if they get hurt at all, I'm like, you could get in trouble. I'd say, like, a real, like, sneaky one that's kind of off the cusp for, to get out is probably, like, Winnipeg. Because I was so disappointed by their performance. No, same. I went on, and I said, like, I thought Winnipeg could, like, win the cup, dude. I thought they were deep. I thought they don't play, like, the most exciting style of hockey, but I thought they were a team that can really, like, grind you down. Oh, my God, dude.

Elbuck, too. A little bit. A little bit of playoffs season. Yeah. Yeah. And they, like, kind of, they got out relatively early. So now I guess, like, I'm just going to say them to miss. And then what was the last one?

Sorry, my. MVP. MVP. Oh, shit. Matias Machelli. Actually, though, that guy's the most underrated player in the league. Oh, yeah, I love that. I want to bring that up, too.

But MVP, I was going to go with Austin Matthews. Okay. Like, he got to see this year. One of the best two players in the league, obviously. But I think it's going to be him. How many goals? Over 70. Come on, dude.

I wanted, that's so bad last year. Over 70. He was at 69, right? Yeah, dude. Kind of sake, though. It was actually nice. And he went into the last game of the year, and I was trying to watch it. I forget what the fuck was happening.

But I was watching it. I had to go somewhere and I had it. I had the radio feed. And Red, were you watching that game? Matthew's last game by any chance? Dude, he was. He was like 12 shots. Yes.

And there was a scramble. Like, they had, like, maybe they lost. I remember there something was going on. Either was a power play, pulled goalie, whatever, and he was out there. And there was like a goal mouth scramble. They were like, 10 seconds left. And the puck slides back post to Matthew. And I'm like on the radio just waiting for the like, hey, scores at the buzzer.

And they were like, oh, he couldn't get it off or whatever. And I was like, no, dude. That would have been epic. I really hope he gets there. Yeah. And not to go off topic, but Matthias Micheli, I brought him up. Seeing him play live at Mullet, because Molet, you're like right on the ice. You're basically on the ice.

So you're almost on the team. that kid can snap it around with the best such good vision like just so smart it's unreal like that kid's nasty like I think more people need to you know watch that kid play I completely agree sick I'm huge on Utah man yeah oh dude it's gonna be fun it's gonna be fun okay Robbie we're gonna play this game with you

we play with everybody it's called pass shoot score okay and basically we're gonna give you a category and then give you three things inside that category and you have to rank them one pass one shoot one score pass is your least favorite because the sisters are cool but they're not that cool. Okay. Shoot is your second favorite because we love getting Pucks on net.

And then score, of course, is your ultimate favorite. Okay. Okay. It's essentially a merry fuck kill. Okay. All right, got it. Hockey version. Okay.

Okay. Your first category is drinks. Pass shoot's score. Godca sodas. Come on. Do goritas. And a blended red at 30,000 feet. All right.

So I'm going to pass on a godka, which is just. gin vodka. I actually just learned about that drink. Dude, you taught it to me. I've never even fucking heard of this, dude. I know. It's a real drink with doctors and everything. Godga soda. Like what kind of crime are you going to commit after drinking that? Like, those drinks are, they, it's bad. All right. So I'm gonna have you tried it? I never been tried it. Yeah, I did. I did try. Dude, I'm a vodka soda guy and I have never, and I'm, I'll dabble with a gin and tonic, but I like, I prefer vodka soda. And you actually kind of got me

into gin and soda because it's pretty, pretty solid. Yeah. But a gin and, and by the way, I'll even have a Vesper Martini and like a Vesper Martini, which is gin and vodka. Yeah. So kind of in my twisted brain, I'm like, maybe. A Gacca soda is like, have you ever had one? No, dude, I've just learned about this. You ever like, like, you do this with a cat and you go like this and the cat eyes follow? Yeah, yeah.

And it's like, that's a Gagasota. Like, your brain, like, you take a sip and you're like, whoa. Boom, you rip and half. What the fuck just happened? Like, you feel like you're in Oklahoma in the middle of a tornado. Yeah. It's like, it's like not cool. Like, it's scary.

Yeah. It's actually not good at all. I do not recommend. That's my experience with God Cosota's. So I'm going to pass on that. I will shoot on a dogarita. Because everyone needs to have them. You have to.

You have to. You wake up and you just, you know, all of a sudden you're the owner of like a trailer and a trailer park. That's like dogarita shit. Yep. And then obviously I'll score on a red wine at $30,000. Olivia loves a challenge. It's why she lifts heavy weights.

and likes complicated recipes. But for booking her trip to Paris, Olivia chose the easy way with Expedia. She bundled her flight with a hotel to save more. Of course, she still climbed all 674 steps to the top of the Eiffel town. You were made to take the easy route. We were made to easily package your trip.

Expedia, made to travel. Yeah, because it's just the best. It is the best. Window seat with a wine. like I will sit on like a I'll just fly around I don't even need to get off and go on you I'll just buy a ticket

I was actually considering doing this as a fancy football punishment so my brother lost fantasy football and his punishment was to get on a bus a greyhound which is like notorious it's just a bunch of heroin addict Pittsburgh and back Greyhound is a sponsor so sorry

yeah shout out's great use code empty netters and greyhound go use needle and you're going to be all set he lost his fantasy football league he had to drive it was like how far is that yeah round trip 16 hours something like that on a greyhound

he did it i got respect but we want to do something the opposite where like you fly first class but just nowhere and just get drunk in the sky totally belligerent really dumb but something that i would be like that's not a punishment yeah you might lose on purpose yeah you get a buddy

who he's a writer actually and he's quite successful and he for whatever reason feels like he does his best work when flying because he feels alone and isolated and when he gets on a new movie project that's like really big he literally buys himself a

business class ticket to China goes onto the plane, sits in his fucking unbelievable business class seat, writes the movie, gets to China, goes into the lounge, showers, changes, gets on a flight and flies home. I love that. That's right up my house. It's the most rock star shit I've ever heard of my fucking. That might be you

do when you become a writer. That might be what you have to do. No bullshit. I I actually, I just went to Europe for the first time this summer, and I was riding on the plane. My friend saw what I was doing, and I was writing, it's just this bit about my racist grandpa, and I was, like, in the zone on the plane. And actually, like, that was, like, a moment that I had, too,

where I was like, I like writing up here. So that's awesome. Good for him. Yeah, fucking, I love. That is rock star shit. That is altitude. Yeah, that's rock star shit. Yeah.

Okay, your next one is Miracle Lines, which you were very familiar with. Yeah. First one. Rizzo Boston, Massachusetts who do you play for? I play for the United States of America

that's one line number two Doc being all nervous Herb this has gone on long enough That's a great one And then you think you can win on talent alone gentlemen You don't have enough talent

To win on talent alone So I'm gonna pass on the one you just said You don't have enough talent alone Second one's gonna be Doc just because it's so funny the accent this has gone on long enough he sounds Italian yeah like why is he

like oh what do you do it yeah like why is he like in the mob in Chicago and he's saying that where's this guy's medical medical and then the odd score on the Rizzo one you just can't beat that the boys are getting bagged like like how are we going to stop this fucking psychopath

from making a skate like this is insane yeah like I want to go who had a Dave Ricotta? He's like, you have a hot day. Yeah, yeah. Like, I want to get out of here. Not looking so hard for that, are you? Yeah.

So I would go with that one because, like, Rizzo, just like, what an absolute beauty. He wasn't even supposed to make the team. Save the tournament, dude. That's literally the captain moment, right? Yeah. He wasn't supposed to make the team either, which is crazy. Dude, I know another line that you love that I think is my favorite line in the movie is just the offhand herb on the phone with Patty.

And Patty, Patty, the Moose is fine. He ran off, I thought. That is the most of my favorite lines in the movie. He's trying to change subjects and Patty's just like, what's up with the moose though? Yeah. Off camera. We don't get your ass. It's fucking beautiful stuff.

Yeah, Patty was like, I kind of felt bad for her in that movie though. Yeah. Herb is like, they're in the house and he's watching game film. And Patty, like, wants to go to bed so bad. She's like, obviously horny. And she's like, Herb, like, can you please come upstairs and come to bed? Herb's like, Patty, I have to watch this game film. And like, he won't leave the office.

And, like, Patty's just like, dude, like, do I need to get divorced or like, like, cheat with somebody like I can't get laid because Herb is too busy trying to dial in this hockey team. Trying to make up for him getting cut from the team in the 60s you know. Patty is ride or die and she has straight from her in that movie. You apologize to sometimes but like Patty's

ride or die. Like Patty not now like I can't I can't do this like I don't I have to figure out who I'm cutting and like Ralph like you said like Ralph Cox is like that's a tough one that's one dude sometimes I fast forward to that scene. I'm dead ass I'm like this too emotional. Yeah I'm like I can't

Do you want to hear an epic Ralph Cox story? Sure. Our mom went to UNH and she was a senior and signed up for a creative writing class. Really excited about it. Loves to flex the creative muscles. She shows up day one of the class and the class is actually a ruse. And what the creative writing is is each member of the class was assigned a member of the UNH hockey team to do their homework.

Oh, shit. And our mom got Ralph Cox. Damn. And she was like, I'll do. your homework one time and then I'm dropping this class. Yeah, and Ralph's like, thanks. I didn't know that that existed. They intentionally set that. I'm sure it doesn't exist anymore.

Right, right. Yeah, back then, in the 70s, hell yeah. That's a cool story. That's a cool story. Shout out to UNH. Shout out to you and H. Shout out to you and H. That's why they aren't good anymore, dude. They dropped that class. Yeah. Yeah. I used to, I was playing for the Boston Bulldogs and I would, we would go like party at you and eight. Dude, that's right. The first time I really started like, you know, uh, going, like socializing. Like you guys, I said it earlier a little bit like I alluded.

Like I was so hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey. Didn't even party or anything probably until I was like 19. Like not, this is not that cool of a story. But anyway, U and H is really where I was like kind of. Dude, and it's a rip there. Everyone was cool. Yeah. Yeah.

I played for Monarchs and we did the same thing. Oh, hell yeah. Ripped down to Durham and party at UNH. I got cut from Monarchs in like the first period. I self-cut myself. I got off the ice. I was with my stepbrother, hell of a player, just a huge, huge headcase. He's like playing in some Ukrainian league right now.

Sick. Not even my stepbrother anymore, technically. There's a couple of divorces in between that. But he was at one point. So I went to a monarch's tryout with him. Not really thinking anything of it. I'm like, yeah, I can hold my own. After the first period of the first scrimmage,

I just straight up got off. I said, I'm going to. I'm out of it. I'm out of it. I was like, yeah. Yep. I didn't hear puberty until I was like 23. All these kids are huge.

I was like, dude, I'm just going to like, where's my laptop? I'm just like go play video games. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a real thing. Absolutely. All right, Robbie, this has been a fucking blast. Can't thank you enough for coming on.

Thanks for having me. I feel like we got a lot of stuff we got to do. Oh, dude, we... Nashville, especially, yeah. I think Scottsdale's like legitimately my favorite place in the world. Yeah, it's awesome. Well, we'll be down to see you for sure. But before we let you go, is there anything you want to plug?

Anything you want to shout out? No, well, yeah, just Hockey Night and Scottsdale. We have a whole bunch of stuff coming out. We'll be in like eight or nine cities this year, doing live shows. potentially a new podcast coming out. I'm not sure yet, but everything will be on my Twitter feed. Obviously, Heat Daddy, type in Heat Daddy. I mean, no other idiot on the internet is named Heat Daddy.

So, but yeah, honestly, just thanks to everyone that reads my shit, likes my shit. Thanks to you guys for having me. This has been great. For sure. And, yeah, that's pretty much it. I love it. Amazing. All right.
