Welcome to the Empty Netters podcast.
Can you believe what this has become?
There was a full 48 hours where I felt like I was like literally Superman.
Jumbo loves playing Fortnite, so he gets on the sticks.
Did TR show you the sauna cycle or was that all year?
Not I invented that.
Almost a year now that I haven't taken a body check.
That's kind of nice.
So we are back.
We are horned up and we are going deep.
Finish tonight with some chicken fingers and a few guineasas and ran into you guys.
That's where this pod came to life.
Wow. Is this on?
Yeah, it's on.
What's up, everybody?
Holy shit.
This is unbelievable. I can't believe we had to bribe all of you to be here.
This is fantastic.
Well, folks, ICE is ready.
And we're back with an empty-knitters live show.
This is unbelievable.
You guys are all incredible for being here.
I'm your host, Dan Powers.
Over here on the sticks, as always, he sporadically came into our lives and stole our hearts,
Just like the English went in and stole his country, Sean Bafini.
Over here, we got EvBot running around with a camera, the newest member of the Mpteneter squad, Evan Watkins.
And then over here, once upon a time, a friend from home, hit this guy up and asked if he knew anything about making a website.
And instead of saying no, this guy spent a week learning how to make a website and then for free,
made said website for this guy's
lobstering company. And then as a thank you,
he then paid full price
for 10 lobsters to be shipped to our house.
They then got delayed in the mail
and three days later, 10 dead
lobsters showed up on our doorstep.
Chris Bowers, there we go.
As always,
that was a good one, Dan.
That was a good one.
You were truly the most inconvenient man
who's ever lived.
Try traveling with me.
Try traveling with you.
Try doing anything with you, buddy.
It's unbelievable.
Well, again, folks,
I cannot believe that you are all here.
You're incredible.
We love you, babe, so much.
Let's get into this show.
We'll talk some hockey.
We'll talk some nonsense.
We'll talk some heated rivalry.
We got a beer league hotline, a blind ranking.
We sure do.
Here's the deal.
I know there's actually, if you're a hockey fan in here, let's hear it a little bit.
And if you're just a fan of our general nonsense in here, let's hear it.
I think that is probably the more accurate one here.
That's only because Sean does the general nonsense with us.
That's why they all like that.
Sean, come on, baby.
All right, well, we're going to start with some hockey talk.
Listen, the abs, we've got some abs fans over here.
The abs are a wagon.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are a wagon, but none of that shit matters right now.
Who gives a fuck?
Who gives a fuck?
Because we're going to Olympics.
So we've got to talk about the Olympics.
For those who don't know, it's been 12 years since NHL players have been in the Olympics.
Unbelievable.
Yep, so fired up.
But we found out today, really great journalism by us, hockey guys.
some weird rules in these Olympics.
Yeah, so actually we put the fan questions out,
and a ton of questions are about the rule changes in the Olympics.
So we wanted to talk about that a little bit,
and the craziest one,
I'm actually would be surprised if even the hockey people knew this.
The overtime in the Olympics this year,
the preliminary round is five-minute OT, three-on-three,
then a shoot-out, five-person shoot-out.
Then the semifinal and quarter-finals
is a 10-minute three-on-three overtime,
then a shoot-out.
And the gold medal game is continuous 20-minute OT
but also three on three.
Can you imagine playing three on three for 20 minutes?
Three on three gold medal O.T.
That's insane.
It would be the most electric gold medal game of all time
if it went a full 20 minute three on three
of just nonsense going back and forth.
Dude, and imagine if a semi-final game
to send you to the gold medal
goes into extra time shootouts, like with Oshie.
Where's Ginsberg?
There he is.
Ben Ginsburg came over to our apartment
at four in the morning during the Sochi Olympics
to watch that O'SI shootout,
showed up with a box of donuts,
like a true gentleman.
4 a.m.
We ate the whole fucking box.
The whole box is gone so fast.
Watching that OSHA shootout, all-time moment.
That could happen again.
Actually, who?
For a hat.
Yeah, we got a hat toss.
For a hat.
How many goals did OSHA score in that shootout?
Need seven, but no.
We got a three?
Nope, no, come on.
Four?
Four.
Boom.
Give them a hat.
There we go.
Outta, baby.
Also, just a random question.
Does anyone here have a massive head?
Because these hats are extra large.
Grab those guys.
They'll fit your large noggin.
Thank you for having them.
It's unbelievable.
So we're talking about Olympics and we're talking about Canada being an absolute wagon.
It's ridiculous.
We need you.
Do we have any Canadians in here?
Let's go.
Someone get her the fuck out of here.
But listen, I think we need a,
USA win here. Well, someone
asked who needs the gold more?
It's the U.S. I don't know. I don't
think we need it more. We don't
think so? If this Canada team, if this
Canada team doesn't win gold, they are
fucked. The U.S.
hockey team needs a win. That's
what we're saying. Yeah, yeah. If this
Canada team does not win, that's a disaster.
They come home. They come home humiliated.
I hear you, but we talked about the injuries.
Sweden has a bunch of bad injuries.
Finland has a bunch of bad injuries.
Barcobs not playing. Now we've got Canada
with
point out, Sorrelli out. The U.S. is the only team that doesn't really have injuries.
Yeah, sneaky healthy. And this is, this is, I, no one can record this and clip this because I don't
want any of the U.S. boys to hear me talking shit. But there have been so many edits, so many videos
of this U.S. team being like, we like being the underdog. Yeah. He liked being the little brother.
It fuels us. And I'm like, hey, dipshits, you haven't won in 46 years.
Like, what the fuck are we talking about? It's not exactly working. Yeah. It's like this,
we're tough, we're gritty. It hasn't worked in a while.
So maybe we switch things up.
I also wonder if we could get a little injured.
Like maybe J.T. Miller picks up a knock.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Oh, no, we have to have Jason Roberts.
Oh, my God, Jason Robertson and Cole Cofield made the team.
Oh, fuck.
For those who are unaware, in the NHL right now,
three of the top six goal scores in the league are American.
Not a single one of them is on Team USA.
Really fucking galaxy-brain stuff from the coaches here picking this roster.
Dude, good point, actually, because I will say
this, we don't need the gold, but if this U.S. team crashes out early, they are going to get
fucking sewered for these decisions. If we make the gold and lose to Canada, it's like all
good, we pick the right team. If we lose in the quarterfinals, they're going to go, why are
those Rangers on this team? Why is Brock Nelson on this team? They're in Deadlass.
And hold on, it took us all of seven minutes before the Rangers shit talk started. I'm glad it came
from you. Yeah, you're right. It's usually coming from me. So here's the thing. It's like, I do keep
coming back to, I'm so excited
for this team, I'm so excited for this tournament.
Olympic hockey is the best thing in the world.
The women are already there crushing it right now.
It's so good.
Let's go. Come on.
But I cannot get over, man.
If this narrative of like the, we're the bully,
we're like, you know, I'm like, guys,
you have not won.
There's a reason we all watch Miracle every fucking day.
Like, God, that felt good.
Try to remind ourselves what that goal felt like.
Yeah.
I think, you know,
We got a shot, dude.
I like that it's on...
People were freaking out
about the rink, right?
Everybody was like,
oh, the rink's too short.
The Olympic rink is normally bigger.
There's been Olympic hockey
played on an NHL-sized rink
twice before because when it was in Vancouver,
you're playing at the Vancouver.
So it is happened.
They did...
This rink is short by accident.
This rink is four feet short,
which is a massive L for the metric system,
by the way.
Everybody's like, inches and feet are stupid.
I'm like, measure a fucking rink,
morons.
Talk to me about centimeters.
Imagine having four years to get prepared
for you hosting the Olympics.
And you're like,
we did fuck up the hockey rink.
Yep. But I'm telling you... Unfortunately, it's not done yet.
Yep. That small rink, though, is going to favor us.
Because we built this team to be tough and, you know, grind in the corners.
We don't want to play this fast can of the game. The small rink's going to help.
It's true. It's also built-in excuses.
Yeah, correct. Who has to be incredible for Team USA to win gold?
J.T. Miller. Actually, Jack, you're right. If J.T. Miller and Mitz and Trotechek
lead Team USA and goals, we will win. If our worst player is playing really well, then we're going to do a great job.
We'll be okay. No, I think it's the scores. I think it's, I mean, you know guys like Jack Eichel is going to have
a great tournament. You know guys like Jacob Slaven and Worensky and Quinn are probably
going to have a great tournament. I need, I need like Dylan Larkin to come out and just to absolutely
light the world on fire. Yeah, I just, unfortunately, I feel like it's the goalies. Maybe Austin Matthews
does something once in his entire life. Like, hey, oh, it's a big game, Austin. Can you please
not call in sick? That would be fantastic. Score a fucking goal, dude. That would be fantastic.
If he misses another chance, if we make the gold, then it goes to overtime and he misses another
point blank shot from the slot, he has to retire on the.
spot. Don't come back. And then he's found reading a book while Connor McDavid is open in the
slot and wins the game. God damn. I think it's the goalies, dude. I don't even know who's going to
play. Like legitimately, I don't know who it's going to be. I hope it's sway, but it could be any of
those goalies. But I fortunately, remember in the 11 Bruins Cup when it was that game 7, Tampa,
Boston? And we were like, how do we win this game? And I was like, I just need a Tim Thomas
shutout. It's the only way we can win. And then he did it. That's what I need from the U.S.
Goalies. If we get a shutout in the gold medal game, we can win. I'm picturing you as the
coach of this U.S. team and looking at those goalies if they play Canada and going, hey,
so yeah, you know how you've got Connor McDavid, Nathan McKinn, and Kail McCar, Sydney Crosby
on that? Just go ahead and don't get scored on and I promise will win.
Well, because I go, Jeremy Swamman in that situation, you go, fuck you?
Yeah.
What do you want this?
When I go, who's going to score on our team?
Look at this team we put together.
He goes, Robo or Cole or Debrinkia.
I go, none of them are here.
They're not here.
They didn't come.
God damn.
But no, it's great.
It's because J.T. Miller and Brock Nelson are going to score all.
Give me an unsung hero.
I mean, I wanted to be my guy, Dylan.
I love Dylan so much.
But my unsung hero for this team USA group is going to be.
Ooh, Zach Wrenski.
Oh, shit.
That's a good one.
I mean, the guy is unbelievable.
Kale McCar was made in a lab,
and yet every year, Zach Wrenski is comparable to Kail McCar.
That's unbelievable.
I actually, I kind of, I think it's going to be one of the fourth-line Canada guys.
Like, give me Hagle, Jarvin.
Ben, yeah, yeah.
We were doing a raw, robbing here.
No, no, no.
No, dude.
I'm going for Canada, dude.
Fuck that.
Because actually, actually, I look this up.
You sound like me.
Just rooting for everybody.
A little turncoat, I actually, I look this up, I think that only six in, I just haven't,
I haven't checked this for me, but I think six people ever have three gold medals,
individual gold medals.
Yeah, they're all Russians.
They're all Soviets.
It's 64 through 84.
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
And so, yeah.
Yeah, I think it's Crosby and Dewey.
Crosby and Dewey could have a good to a third goal.
Now, the only two guys.
Wow.
And that actually would be so sick.
Let's hear it for Soviet Russia.
Hey, come on.
Why did anyone cheer?
Is that true?
That's incredible.
That's incredible.
We've been infiltrated.
We've been infiltrated.
Well, so we're going to Milan on Tuesday.
We're going to be there for the games.
So we're going to be getting you all some great coverage.
But I think I'm most excited about all of our life.
lifestyle stuff, like ripping around Milan.
I feel like I mentioned the other day, I was like, I'm going to eat pasta.
And someone from Milan sitting our DMs and was like, we don't eat pasta here, you fucking idiot.
And I was like, what do you eat?
Yeah.
And they were like, Milanese, obviously.
And I was like, Jesus, I feel like a moron.
Well, that actually suits you perfectly because longtime followers will remember that Dan, this sick pig gets chicken.
Chicken, like, chicken parms his favorite meal.
And Dan, every time we're out on the road, he like finds us, he looks, does all this research, finds us the best Italian place in the city that we're at.
And I'm like, oh, this is a big.
great.
And we go down there, and then he
orders the chicken parm, and subs out
the pasta for broccoli.
And I'm like, literally, what?
Dude.
We went to an Italian place.
Like a well-researched and reviewed Italian place,
so you could not have the pasta for fucking
steamed broccoli with your chicken
parm. Hear me out, everybody.
The chicken, if you're ordering chicken parm,
which, by the way, another thing, if you go to Italy and order
chicken parm, they will shoe you out of the restaurant.
Yeah, also correct.
But chicken parm,
is the star. I don't need
if I wanted pasta I'd order a nice pasta.
I want chicken parm to shine.
It can shine. It can shine with the pasta.
They make it that way.
It's literally designed to shine.
I'm acting like the chicken parm suffers if there's pasta there.
It's too heavy. It's too heavy of a dish.
Dude, we... I need the broccoli.
It's outrageous that you drag into these places
and then turn your nose up to the most important part of the entire dish.
Just let me eat my meal.
No. You embarrass me. You embarrass me.
If we were alone, if we ordered it back to the hotel,
you do whatever you want, dude.
Eat fucking broccoli.
But when we're out in public,
just to steal broccoli underneath it.
Yeah, of course.
And you pay money for that?
Yes, dude.
It's not something you.
It's insane.
What the fuck is this?
You were a joke, dude.
It is so stupid.
It's so hard eating with you, bro.
Just order some fish and chips and eat the chicken parm to me.
Okay, God.
I'm telling you, well, they eat fish.
Yeah, wait a minute.
Yeah, wow.
I said at the beginning, they stole you, all right?
Oh, God.
Well, I mean, listen, Olympic hockey is going to be incredible.
Cannot wait for it.
Are there any other hitters on that that you want to talk about?
No, I don't think so.
I'm fired up.
It's going to be incredible tournament.
I'm so excited.
Hopefully we can figure out what the hell we're doing over there
because the Olympics are so strict.
They were like, you can't post anything.
And I was like, I'll post.
What?
No, truly.
They were like, we're going to leave all the coverage to us.
And I was like, watch me, pal.
Yeah.
Watch me.
Sneak into the locker room.
Post a video.
It's going to be unbelievable.
But I can't wait.
I can't wait either.
Should we bring up a friend?
Yeah, I think we bring in a friend.
I think we bring in to the big guts.
If anyone in here is in the almost Friday realm
and loves the almost Friday TV sketches,
we're going to bring up our friend Billy Langdon right now.
Come on, Billy.
Have a nice fun conversation with a...
Come on, Bill.
Casual night last night?
Very casual night.
Yeah.
I actually was in the crowd
looking at the fact that I have to hold the microphone up here
and I was just like, fuck it.
I just need something to rest this on.
You did?
Brittany, Mike thing.
You did have your arm up all night.
How late were you guys out?
Four.
Four, yeah, four, 30.
We went to a late DJ set last night, and honestly, you owe me an answer.
Fuck, we shouldn't have brought me.
I don't know any of this, so I'm here for the tea.
Here we got.
Tickets were about $83.
He got on the way list too late, never got off.
The ticket skyrocketed to do about $500 yesterday, and he didn't have a ticket.
And halfway through the show, he just was barreling into the,
the crowd with Sandra.
And I just, you saw me
first. How'd you do it, you saw me first.
Dude, so we were just refreshing.
We were just refreshing tickets all night.
Like literally, Sandra and I were like, okay, refresh, refresh.
They'll drop, they'll drop. Like, just up, up,
up, nightmare. Then they sell out
completely. And I was like, all right, I'm dead, can't go.
Sandra was like, they'll come back.
Just keep refreshing. So I'm refreshing, 30 minutes.
Sold out. Sold out. Finally refresh again.
And one sold for like 180, but I missed
it. But it pissed me up.
But I was like, it's possible. You just have to keep refreshing.
And then literally at 11.15 p.m. I'm in Manhattan Beach. I'm at Shellback. And I refresh and one pops up for one, two tickets for $150. And I go, buy Uber.
Boom, boom, boom. Do, do, do you do. Lightning thumbs suit. And then I drove an hour and a half to fucking Glendale.
And then, remember at the beginning of the show when I said this is the most inconvenient man who's ever lived?
Like, this is what his life is. If there are any San Jose Sharks fans here, we were out with Tyler Tofoli on the Sharks last night.
Let's go, Ty.
I have you drinks. And I'm sitting there being like, I'm pretty.
sure this guy talked about going to a concert later.
But it's just like 10.30, 11.30.
I'm like, I guess he's not going.
And then he's half in the bag.
And he looks at us and goes, well, I'm going to a camel fat concert.
And I was like, you are out of your fucking...
Had ten phantosh shots.
And I was like, I got to go.
You're a psychopath, dude.
It's insane.
It's insane.
But it was good to see you.
It was great to see you.
Always great to see you.
God damn.
All right, well, fans in the show, no, we like to do a nod-ice portion of the show
where we'd get into anything other than hockey.
and it's Super Bowl weekend.
Let's go.
So we had to bring Billy up
because Billy, you're not the biggest football fan.
I'm not, I don't watch any sport.
You love sports ball.
It's perfect for Billy.
Honestly, an honor to be up here.
What's so funny, too, is like,
all of my friends throughout my life have been such big sports fans,
and I constantly meet athletes now at Friday beers,
and they know I don't even know these people,
and they're genuinely just like,
fuck you, dude.
Yeah.
I don't like you.
Genuinely.
Yeah, that's what it takes sense.
We wanted to get into a discussion because I think there are a lot of maybe not the biggest football fans who participate in the Super Bowl.
It's a big day.
It's a big day.
So we had to get into the discussion of what makes the perfect Super Bowl set.
Who's rooting for the Hawks?
Who's Hawks?
Okay, okay.
Who's rooting for the Pats?
Whoa.
Come on.
Good amount of Patriots fans.
I actually want to dish a hat out.
Yeah.
Give me an ace.
There we go.
Look at that.
There we go.
That was a bucket.
That was a great toss.
I don't know if anyone's a lot.
That was incredible.
That was incredible.
That was incredible.
I didn't work it on it.
I was in here since three o'clock today.
Steve Aoki with the cakes.
And I want crowd participation on this.
So chime in with any of your ideas.
We're going to talk about food first.
Because I have a very hot take here.
This is going to be some bullshit.
Yeah, I mean, considering what we just heard.
This is going to be some bullshit.
I like.
You got to serve broccoli with it.
You have me.
I think dips at Super Bowl.
parties are a disaster.
Why?
They're two filling.
I feel like whenever the dip,
because the dips come out first,
and then I feel like you just start
housing the dip and then like an hour into the
Super Bowl party, you feel like a fat piece of shit
and you can't eat anything else because you've had too much dip.
This is exactly the opinion of somebody
who orders Parmesan with steam coffee.
This doesn't surprise me in the least.
Well, at least I'm consistent.
One, the whole point of dip
is to eat itself sick.
Agree, actually.
Completely agree.
If you go to a Mexican restaurant,
they put guac on the table
you get sick and then you don't eat anything else.
They just keep bringing a sauce out.
Here you go, dude.
But what you're saying is sounds bad.
I'm trying to heal us here.
You are trying to undermine the very definition of dip, right?
I know.
Also, that is the day to go insane on.
If there ever was a day,
I know.
I'm like, yeah, I want to fill up on this Buffalo chicken dip
that you have made.
Yeah, I do make it very good.
To your self-control?
If you're like,
I can't just have a little bit of dip
to the fact that if I put dip in front of you,
you can't stop until you're like,
I'm sick and this is your fault
for doing this to me now.
I feel like whenever I'm at a Super Bowl party
and there's a plethora of dips,
I feel like the Grinch at the holiday Jubilee
when I'm just like multiple things.
I'm like sampling every dip on the table
and I just, I don't know,
the variety is the spice of life, baby.
Just courting it like, no, not for you.
Dude, you know, I will say this though.
I wonder what your take is.
I think that often the dips
are placed on the coffee table.
And the dip is not the speediest of in and outs.
You know, if he comes up and they're getting the dips.
And they're right in front of the TV.
And I'm like, sit the fuck down.
Sorry, everybody. Sorry, everybody.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's a trap.
Yeah, and I'm like, put the dips back there, dude.
It's third and ten.
Like, this is the play of the fucking game.
I like to set them on the credenza, right,
where the TV is resting.
Yeah, that's perfect.
Just right above it on a show.
I could see you being not a football fan
hosting a Super Bowl party and just making it,
pure chaos for everybody.
Like just seeing how fast people would figure out that you were meant to torture everyone.
I would make it a nightmare.
Okay, but here's my other thing.
Seeding.
Yeah.
Important.
I don't know if anyone here has ever hosted a Super Bowl party.
There's no worse feeling than when you have people over and then see that someone is in like the cuck chair.
Or you're just standing in the back and you're like, fuck.
Do you think there needs to be a seat per person?
Or do you expect some standing?
No.
Well, what's everyone supposed to do?
Okay, now we're talking.
It's a Super Bowl party.
Now we're talking.
We're talking about eating ourselves sick, right?
Like that's the point.
That's right.
We need to drop the pomp and circumstance of Super Bowl parties.
I want everyone to come over in PJs, sweatpants, and I'm going to lay out
pillows and mattresses on the floor and let everyone just lie around and gorge themselves.
Can we sleep over?
Yes.
I want me to pass out in a food coma and just sleep there.
I like this.
a four.
What's like the school,
the shut-in,
you know,
like how schools would be like,
we're doing a shot-in tonight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm telling you.
You're all locked in your house
for the next 48 hours.
Don't put on your fancy outfit.
You can wear a jersey if you want,
but dress comfortably
and then pass out on my floor.
That is a perfect,
I love that.
Dan,
because I wanted to ask how much real food
you want there?
Because I like the apps,
but like,
do you want like real significant food there?
What do you mean about like pizza
would be real food?
Yeah,
yeah.
Like, do we want like substantial food
something that could be considered
an entree?
Yeah.
Yes.
Dan once
passed out,
literally fainted
at our Super Bowl party.
Dan fainted at our Super Bowl party
because he didn't eat enough.
Actually, you tell the story.
But Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan fainted at a Super Bowl.
Dude, Dan.
Dude, he almost concussed himself.
This actually had to have.
We had to tell him to go to the hospital.
This was the Patriots Falcons,
28 to 3 game.
And we ordered a bunch of wings,
and I was too stressed to eat during the game.
And I was just like housing tequila sodas.
And I was sitting on the floor.
Yeah, he was on the floor.
He was on the floor.
It was on the floor.
And it was like truly making us a comeback.
And at the end of the game, it was like,
Duran Harmon picked off a ball to like steal the deal or so.
I don't know.
Or no, it was the James White touchdown or whatever.
But I went from a sitting on the floor position to leaping in the air in a matter of
one point three seconds.
And that head rush,
I then remember feeling dizzy
and putting my hand on the coffee table
and watching my wrist like buckle over itself
and then like smash my face on the table
and like fell down and there's only like two people at house
but they were like what just happened?
There was two people and you?
Yes.
I was one of them.
It was just me and Dan and one other guys.
He was upstairs locked in his room
because he couldn't watch.
You think I'm nuts.
This guy has a mental problem.
Wait, you couldn't even watch the...
He was too stressed out.
Dan, I came downstairs
and my buddy goes, dude, we won the Super Bowl and Dan has to go to the hospital.
And I was like, holy shit, what the fuck happened?
That's insane.
Oh, my God.
Oh, shit.
Whenever someone asked him to go ahead.
He said he thought Dan was reaching for a wing finally.
And he was like, oh, nice, Dan's going to eat now.
And then his hand missed the wings.
And he was like, what is he doing?
Can he see?
And then his wrist started crumpling over and then he collapsed.
I mean, you know when wrist starts crumpling?
You remember when Voldemort, like, the wind gust came and like turned him to dust?
Yeah, yeah.
was me. That was me. That was me. That's fucking incredible, dude. But I'm telling you, I think that I think this seating arrangement, floor, pillow, mattress situation might be a move. We gotta start turning Super Bowl parties everywhere. Because clearly you're a risk. Yes, correct. Yeah. You're getting that fucked up at a party with two people. That's just, that's like, there's a bigger conversation needs to have. The insane asylum rooms with padded walls and floors is apparently what I need to watch football. I deal. A Super Bowl party is an insane asylum. Yeah, dude, Dan, I don't want to go to your Super Bowl party. It sounds like.
There's no dip and there's patting every.
There's no dip.
You can't eat.
Dan's going to kill himself.
I'm like, what the fuck happened?
Yeah, I'm starting to learn that I, no one is going to want to come over to my host at Super Bowl Party.
That's pretty standard.
But I'll tell you what, you'll be comfortable.
Yeah, you're pretty nice.
That's true. That's very nice.
That's very nice.
Wait, you're providing the PJs?
Yeah, he's going to get PJs.
He sized you up the second you walked on stage, bro.
He sized you up the second you walked on stage, bro.
If you don't think I have every inch of you memorized, you're out of your mind.
That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
That's awesome.
How many people?
Is there a cap?
Oh, that's a good question.
Two.
That's down number.
For me, it's two.
And someone upstairs in the bedroom.
That's a good question.
What do you think, Billy?
I feel like there should be a cap.
This doesn't need to be like a massive party.
Wouldn't that be sick, though?
A band.
I guess if actually, for my sake, is a non.
What if we were at Francis and there was a Jumbotron screen in the yard and there was 500 people there?
When you think this is the best party of?
All right.
I just ate my words.
Let's do it.
I knew you fed them right back to me.
But that's, I think that's the funny thing.
So, and anyone who's a big football fan out here, when you're watching the Super Bowl,
do you hate it when there's a lot of people there and they're just talking and not even watching a game?
Yeah.
So I think that's a factor.
So you need to keep it intimate.
I think you need to go.
I think there needs to be like a quick survey test when you walk in the door.
Do you plan on watching this game seriously?
Yeah.
Are you going to be commenting on the commercials after they are over during games?
gameplay.
Yeah.
If the answers, yes, you're out.
Or you go to different party.
What about a separate room?
Two rooms.
Great idea.
Billy.
Great idea.
Separate parties is a great idea.
In my experience, houses have many rooms.
That's a good idea.
I'm into that.
The two rooms, it feels like a kid's room.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like if anyone's here just for the dips, you're going to be watching in this room.
Yeah, there's little tables.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like the little Tykes chairs.
Yeah.
Dude, you're not a sports ball guy.
so I don't know if you have an opinion on this,
but I don't know,
I give people a lot of credit
that are willing to watch massive sporting events
with fans of the other team.
If it's your team and then you're like,
I'm down to just go somewhere
where people are rooting for both teams.
I'm like,
you are fucking insane.
Like you don't want to be around people.
No, because I just want to be like,
we're all happy or we're all sad, whatever,
but I just need to be with my crew.
You know, like, the dueling is fucking nuts.
You can feel it in bars
where it's like split down the middle
where like people celebrate
and everybody else gets very upset
watching it.
Yeah.
It was just like they're already mad
and they're watching you be happy.
Yeah.
Dude,
because here's the other thing.
I think it's funny how you're talking about this
as if you're not the number one offender.
Well,
so this was going to say,
this was going to say,
my personality is I don't ever,
if you're a fan of the other team,
I'll never chirp you.
If my team wins,
I'm never like,
oh, ha, ha, ha.
But no one extends that back to me.
So like, my team loses
and I get fucking ridiculed and shit on.
And then my team wins.
And I'm like, good game.
That was really fun.
And I'm like,
I never got the,
This is a bad deal.
To be clear, though, Chris is also the type of guy.
The game will start.
It'll literally be the first possession.
The Patriots will throw an incomplete pass, and Chris goes, game.
Yeah, I got it.
I got to go.
I go upstairs.
I go upstairs.
And he does that about 52 times a game.
And then the Patriots win, and he goes, that was fucking awesome, guys.
Incredible game.
Thanks for coming over.
What a great game.
I have to watch the highlights after.
So I can talk at the office tomorrow.
I'm like, I saw the whole thing.
Oh, yeah.
I wasn't in my room.
Yeah, that's cool.
All right.
All right.
So to close up Super Bowl party talk, let's go back to food.
Each of you, your top two food needs.
And again, shout it out, folks.
Like, if there's something that you're like, this needs to be at a Super Bowl part.
I think wings is buff dip?
Buff chicken dip.
Who said pigs in a blanket?
That was gas.
Yeah, did I just see her pigs in a blanket?
Yeah, that was really good.
What's your dipping sauce with pigs in a blanket?
Yeah.
Mustard, all right, let's go.
We're talking spicy brown, Dijon, what's going on?
Yeah, hell yeah.
I like it.
I'll back track your opinion on dip now.
Yeah, you can't dance back in.
I'm like, I need spinach artichoke, buffalo chicken dip.
I need buff chicken dip.
That's my number one.
Yeah.
So you're back in on the dips now.
I've always been a huge dip guy.
Everyone knows that.
Buff chicken for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude, you're actually, now that I'm talking about this, it should be only dips.
Like, you're fucking insane.
And nothing.
stupid with? I swear to God. I swear to God, if you guys pick on me 13 or 14 more times, I'm out
here. This is bullshit. I'd like to see you try to go. Yeah, right. And I can do, I can do 13. I
promise you that. All right, so dips, wings, and comfy clothes. This is your assignment. Comfy
clothes tomorrow, okay, everybody? We're not, we're not impressing anybody. We're going to wear
elastic waistbands and we're going to have fucking fun. Hell yeah. It's going to be great. I
fucking love it. Sean, give me a
score prediction.
I don't even know how the scores work.
I know.
That's why I want to review.
That's why you're going to be right.
Sean just said 11.
You have the best odds.
Not even another number.
Two numbers.
Also, it's pretty difficult to get to 11 points in an NFL game.
I'm predicting a wild game.
Okay, so Sean's score prediction is 11.
11.
No other score.
11.
Yeah, that's incredible.
Yeah.
That can be historic.
I don't think we need to do the rest of us.
I think that's 11 is the answer.
I feel good about that.
I love that.
Okay.
Billy, we're going to release you.
You can go back, have a drink, but thanks for a problem.
Round of applause for Billy Lagin, everybody.
Almost fighting TV legend.
Hey, Billy, give a hat.
Give him that hat.
Yeah, anyone you want.
Come on.
Hell yeah.
All right.
Is it time for my favorite segment in the entire world?
I think it is, Dan.
We're going to do a couple of Beer League hop.
lines.
Yes.
Sean has picked out some special submissions, and he's been practicing them all day.
Okay.
He told me he's the first thing he did it when he woke up was start reading these.
Sean loves reading aloud publicly.
Yeah.
As a rampant dyslexic, I love reading publicly.
Wait, hold on.
How do you be a rampant dyslexic?
Are you just like, you're like a town crier, just like reading?
I can't, you can't stop me from reading poorly.
All right.
So our first one is someone's a minute.
in saying, been playing with a group of guys for 15 plus years.
We're all over 40.
We've dropped down a few levels as we've slowed down.
Last night, we had the 1045 game, and in the second period, one of the guys
legit fell asleep on the bench.
Head back, open mouth, snoring.
He's got young kids at home, so we just let him snooze.
Missed three shifts before he jolted awake.
do we need to put him on the seniors plan
discounted team dues and an early game only
getting a little worried about him driving home at night
this is the most beer league thing
I've ever heard
dude my first reaction is massive
massive missed opportunity to not put a smelling salt under his nose
while he was just sick
but you know it sounds like the boys knew he needed this
like I think I I like
I love this so much from both him and the guys,
because I think they probably looked at him and they're like,
yeah, just let him sleep.
You think they played quieter?
Yeah.
Like no chirping on the bench.
Like someone starts yelling out plays and they're like, hey, hey, he's, he's.
Dude, what's crazy, though, is there space?
I feel like on our bench, you would have tipped right over.
Like, I can't, I wonder if he's just, he's got some back support or not.
It's got to be, like, a cement wall behind it.
Once you hit your 50s, you like, do the whole dad pose.
Yeah, yeah, you, it's like on the couch.
I'm watching.
that. You know, someone turns the TV off and you were watching that. Yeah. You've been to sleep for an hour, pal. Yeah. No one has ever
slept like this comfortably until you're like an old man. And then it's like, oh, yeah, arms crossed up past your nipples. That's where it's got to be.
The arm cross above the nipples is such a hard. You can't do that until you're a dad. That is a learned thing. Do you think he faked it? Like, when you woke up, he was like, yeah, dude, what? Is my turn? Am I up? Or are they like, bro, you've been asleep for 30 minutes? No, I bet that that wake up was like of a nap where you feel like you've been hit with a flashbang and you don't know where you don't know where you. You don't know where you.
you are anymore.
Like he woke up and was...
He's in his gear.
He's like,
holy shit.
He thinks he's missed work.
But it's, you know, it's...
You hear stories.
Like, you get married, you have kids.
And then you just try to have those moments
where you can find any opportunity to just have rest or peace to yourself.
The fact that this is beer league for this guy is unbelievable.
Like, he's suited up and he was like, I'm probably going to catch some Z's on it.
Well, yeah, because it's either the game was brutal.
You know, like you're getting rinsed and he's like, whatever.
or it was a great game
and he's given it everything he's got.
Like it literally drained him to zero.
Like he gave the hardest back check of his life
and then came on the bench and fell asleep.
Heart rate be damned.
This guy just fell asleep.
Holy fuck.
By the way, these are a couple of our beer league teammates over here.
If that happened on our bench,
what do you think we would do?
Like if Keenan just fell asleep on the bench.
Keenan, we need out.
It's too good.
Yeah, that's the other thing.
If this guy's a wheel,
you've got to be like,
hey, buddy, I'm sorry.
Jesus Christ.
You need you on the peeper.
Get out there.
Yeah.
But it's okay.
Burkey would have seal barked him awake, though, I think.
You know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Listen, I, yeah, change everything.
Change everything.
Listen, I support it, honestly.
Now that I've absorbed this,
I think you just catch some disease when you can.
Yeah.
Give me a good third.
It's second period.
You know, give me a good third.
I don't have to encourage it into the professional leagues.
Where you have, like, a nap while you're off.
Could you imagine that clip?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It would be great.
Dude, yeah.
This next shift was incredible.
They're like, dude, wait, we should be all napping.
Cycle these napses.
This guy clearly needed it, and I'm glad he found,
I'm glad he found a moment of respite.
Chirp him forever, obviously, obviously.
Every time late game.
If one of you didn't skate off the ice and get your phone
to take a fucking picture, it's the biggest miss of all the time.
All right, let's get into the next one.
All right.
Guy on our team invited his step-dad to play with us full-time.
He was D-1 back in the day, so even though he's older,
he's still... Wait, do we think it's the same guy?
He fell asleep on the bench.
He was crazy.
The Christopher Nolan twist at Beer League's is this is the same guy.
All right, so he was D1 back in the day, so even though he's older, he still got it out there.
Plus, it's been a nice way for those two to bond.
The problem is the post game.
The boys get to swapping war stories in the locker room, bad hinge dates, girlfriend drama, etc.
And the stepdad wants to fit in.
So he doesn't hold back.
It went so far last week that he said he knew he was going to get a goal that night
because he woke up to a blowjob that morning.
That's buddy's mom he's talking about.
Is this over the line?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I kind of love it, to be honest with you.
I kind of love it, dude.
I...
The step...
Dad angle makes it so much better.
Does he, like, does he dab him up?
Does he, like, getting all the boys going after?
Yeah, he's like, caught a Hummer this morning.
Yeah, buddy.
Come on.
Right?
Yeah, sounds awesome, man.
I mean, the fact that there's the bonding element there, it's a stepdad, he's working
his way in.
He's like, hey, man, we'll get out there.
We'll play some hockey together.
And I imagine driving home.
Oh, yeah.
Do they ride together?
Like these guys
These guys are driving home in silence
And he's like
You had a great shift in the second period
By the way
Hell of a back check. Hell of a back check.
Dude, here's the thing.
I think it sounds like
He's been sharing story
This isn't the first story.
It sounds like he's been doing this.
So it's been ramping up.
This is probably the worst example
But it's been ramping up.
So the fact that you didn't squash it right away
It's now on you.
Like the second, the first time
he said anything about your mom
And you went all good, bro.
now you've opened this door dude this is this is life now i'm sorry people saying yeah in the audience
yeah this is like oh yeah like it's on you that your stepdad is talking about your mom going down
it's like i should have said something when he said like yeah i was you know looking forward to dinner
later you know that would have been i should have stopped it then knowing that it was going to
escalate to blow jobs in the locker room they're like it's this kid's fault for having a mom
i mean yeah yeah i mean it's like you gotta everyone says in beerly
you either have to be good on the ice or good in the locker.
There's only one way to even it out.
Yeah.
He has to fuck his stepdad's mom.
Yeah, right.
And then talk about it in the locker room.
Or, that was your mom.
Holy shit, dude.
We're crossing into a dangerous territory of step porn atop here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, we don't need to get into that.
But I understand the dad's desire to be a good locker and hang.
But I'm like, you can't talk about rinsing the kid's mom.
I mean, like, that's crazy.
Dude, I think if the boys loved it, then you just keep going.
I think if the boys loved it, I think if the boys...
Laughs are contagious in the locker room.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
If you start telling the story and everyone else is loving it,
it's like, he's telling these stories and then he just keeps me like, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I have to keep going.
I think that's right.
I think that's 100% right.
But also, like, the fact that he's substantially older than everyone else on the team also makes it weird.
It's kind of like, how do you do fellow kids, energy?
Like, he could just go and not try to fit into that degree.
True.
It's honestly a little bit weird.
If he's like the age to be a stepfather to these kids.
Yeah.
And that means that he's like probably in his 50s maybe.
Yeah, it got to be right.
And these kids are like in their 20s.
And he's like trying to get the affection of these children.
That's weird in itself.
Yes.
To be like and the way I'm going to do it is.
He's sick up here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Girls have sex with me.
And in all the 20-year-olds like, your mom specifically.
Your mom specifically.
Your mother.
You didn't need to jump to blow jobs.
Yeah, he did go hard.
He did go hard.
That was an uppercut.
Yeah.
I support it.
I'm on his side.
I love this fucking guy, actually.
Shocker, Chris. Shocker.
Oh, my God.
Okay, Sean, a couple blind rankings.
A couple blind rankings.
Can I, wait, but can I get a Guinness before we do that?
Is that possible?
Maybe.
Oh, I drank them all.
Hell yeah, Dan.
Fuck yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, don't get me an IPA.
That is my only.
Please, please, sir.
Thank you, so much.
Well, it's gone, Lucas.
There we go, let's go.
Okay, blind ranking.
All right.
Everyone knows what blind ranking is, right?
Yep.
Here we go.
Best NHL home jerseys of all time.
Ooh, okay.
Who said that?
Are we talking Disney Ducks, or are we talking?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hell yeah.
The orange Ducks jersey.
Just go back to the purple and green, folks.
What are we doing?
All right.
Let's start it there then. Let's go Anaheim Ducks.
Oh.
So current, though. Current Danehuy.
Current Ducks.
Current Ducks. Logo, all-time logo, all-time logo.
Five?
The current Orange Ducks jerseys.
There are way worse jerseys than that.
You're the best, you. Thank you so much.
They're a wee, correct. Correct.
Hell yeah.
I wanted that to be an IPA so bad.
I was like, yeah, I might be.
I'm not going five, dude. That's crazy.
There are way worse jerseys in the Ducks.
Name three worst jerseys than the Ducks.
right now. The jets,
the
capitals,
the hurricanes,
those are all worse.
Cains hate... I love the canes.
Was that cheering for the canes or hating the canes?
I know. We went over.
Wild jerseys are
but the North Star ones are sick.
No, but they're their regular home jersey
to do. Jesus Christ, we always get off track.
I am distracted by that pint. What happened?
It was the elevation.
60% head.
Yeah, I got a little.
It said a stout.
I thought it'd be like a Guinness.
It wasn't really.
Okay.
I'm going four.
I'm not going about four.
Fuck.
And I love the duckies.
We're going to pay for that.
The orange is just so aggressive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're front row down.
You know I'm right, though.
The purples are so much better.
The logo is so good.
The logo is one of the best in the league.
That's actually true.
Okay.
Okay.
Four. Four.
Yeah, okay, four.
We like the ducks, though.
All right.
Chicago Blackhawks.
Oh, fuck.
Very good.
Very good. Very good. Very good.
I would go one out of fear.
I would also go two because there are some I think are better.
Let's go two and have some fun.
Let's have a good time, dude.
Let's go two.
Two.
Yes, Dan.
All right.
Washington Capitals.
Trash.
Garbage trash.
Literally lighted on fire.
This guy?
Trash.
Come on.
Trash, dude.
Really?
Yeah.
An awful.
Awful.
It's a very...
But is it five?
Yes.
Oh my God, dude.
Damn.
Trash.
This isn't even a conversation.
Hating on the nation's capital.
This is not even a conversation.
The duck's jersey is cool.
We dug our own grave with four.
This is your fucking dog.
I'm shocked by this, but I like the, I like the passion.
Five.
Five.
All right.
We're doing five on that.
Senators.
That should be five.
You like the black.
The senators suck.
You like the black.
The white is bad.
You like the black.
The dress should have been three, dude.
You fucked us.
You fucked us from the beginning.
I don't.
Duck should have been three.
Talking about.
The senators, the black jerseys are nice.
So we obviously go three.
Because we can't go fucking one.
The senators are just so mid in every way.
Three is perfect.
Dude, did someone just say agree?
resource.
We have to go three because it's obviously not one,
but now we are really playing a dangerous game.
We are really playing a dangerous game if we leave one open.
Here we go.
Senators at three.
So it's currently blank hawks,
senators, ducks, caps.
Which I feel pretty good about it.
We fucked up the ducks, but okay, fine.
Here we go.
This is the best home jersey in the league, number one.
Come on, Sean.
Dallas Stars.
Fuck!
Literally the worst jersey in the NHL.
The worst jersey in the NHL.
When I said name three jerseys worse
You were waiting for that.
I was thinking about the stars.
Well, surprise, surprise.
We absolutely bottled the blind ranking.
Jesus Christ.
God, and the it's crazy as the North Stars is good.
We've got to get back to that color.
It's like that electric green and the terrible logo.
Fuck.
But hey, they did bring back the Madonna Stars jersey this year.
Which was cool.
Which was cool.
That's a debacle.
What's your favorite jersey?
It's got to be the Habs.
Yeah.
Habs, wings, Leifes.
Yep.
Bruins.
Yeah, Habs Wingsley.
Shout out abs.
Shout out abs.
Shout out F's.
Hell yeah.
Okay, Sean, what's the next one?
Next blind ranking that we're going to severe away from hockey on this one.
Best fast, casual food.
Ooh.
Okay.
Okay, Sean.
Hell yeah.
All right.
Number one, I have a strong opinion on this.
In a night.
Ooh.
Okay.
Oh, we got a one out here.
I genuinely apologize to any L.A. natives here.
I think In and Out is the most overrated fucking place.
I think In-Node is the most overrated fucking place in the name.
Yes.
It's an incredible deal, Dan.
It's an incredible deal.
Thank you.
It's like, it's a, listen, it's fine.
The fries are bad.
The fries are bad.
The fries are bad.
The fries are cheeks.
Does anybody like the fries from In-N-A?
Like, objective.
Good question.
Who here actually makes some noise if you love In-N-Out.
Okay.
Okay.
But that's the burgers, though, I imagine.
That's the burgers.
The burgers are good and cheap.
The burgers is an incredible deal.
For the deal alone, you have to put some respect on them.
It's an incredible.
deal.
Surprise are bad.
It's just the worst beer pour of all time.
You have, you, yeah, you had him panic attack.
This is unbelievable.
You want to go four or three?
I think, what about, but the deal though, Dan?
The deal.
It's an incredible deal.
That's actually a very good point.
Yeah.
I think, could we go, could we go two?
No, way.
You out of your mind?
Okay, okay, three, three, three.
Three. Three.
Three. We're going three.
Yep.
We're locked in three.
All right.
Sean's fucking us again.
Just so everyone.
Just so everyone.
was wondering what look that was. That was Sean
fucking us again.
Dave's hot chicken.
Okay. Tell the truth.
Tell the truth.
Tell the truth. Tell the truth.
I fucking love Dave's
hot chicken.
I love Dave's hot chicken.
This might be one. It could be
one.
Fuck. I think two is safe.
It got worse when they
expanded. Yeah, they were purchased
and it got worse. Anyone in L.A.,
if you're unfamiliar with Mainechick hot chicken,
it's probably superior.
Really good.
Main chick hot chicken.
Slaps.
They got a little bit worse.
But we get to go.
Al's is bad.
Al's?
You know your hot chicken.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
Oh, shit. Oh, what do you think about Hal and race?
I correct.
That completely.
If anyone here needs hot chicken wrecks right up here.
Bang.
Yeah.
Okay, two.
Yeah, I can't go one.
I love it.
I can't go one.
All right, you're going two?
Yep.
All right, locked in it two.
All right, another one.
Another chicken place.
Oh shit.
Controversial one.
Chick-fil-A.
Ooh.
Chick-fil-A, not fast food?
It's fast food.
Yeah, this is not fair.
That's not fair.
That's fast food.
Do we disqualify it?
I'm putting it five for DQ.
Either we go five because it's a fraud and is actually fast food or we just DQ.
Is Chick-fil-A fast food, cheer?
Is Chick-fil-A fast casual cheer?
Okay, fuck Chick-Fle-A.
Chick-Fleys out.
D-Cute!
All right, here we go.
Shake-Shack.
Ooh.
Fuck.
Shake-Shack's good, bro.
Shake-Shack is good.
They got the crinkle fries.
Yeah.
They make a good sandwich, too.
Wait, is...
Is Shake-Shack won?
Is Shakeshack the best cast casual?
Holy fuck.
I'm getting...
What's that?
Yeah, can't be good.
It can't go below in and out.
That's so true.
These are the risks of a blind ranking.
Fuck.
What is one?
But what if, what if?
I got one in my heart that I want to come up here.
Me too, but it's, my one is so trash.
All right, I think we got to go four.
Oh, shit.
Well, it's only, to save one.
But my one, you're going to hate.
Let's get chaotic.
Four, four, four, four.
Four.
We should have put in and out four.
Fuck.
All right.
Chipotle.
Is that your one?
One?
Isn't Chipotle trash now?
No, because they, remember they got, people got pissed at them for the serving size and then they fixed it.
Yeah.
They said, sorry, we've been skimping on chicken.
I love the discussion that's happening.
So much Chipotle discussion going on in the audience right now.
Five?
Walks extra.
Five.
But now we're gambling.
We don't even need to do the show anymore.
Five.
Chipotle 5
Do that crazy? Here we go again.
One is left.
All right.
Chipotle 5, we're locking in 5 for Chipotle.
Yep.
All right, Panda Express.
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes! Yes!
Yes!
Is that your one?
That's my one, dude.
That was your one.
Let's go!
Oh my God!
How in the fuck did you know that Panda Express was coming?
Panda, dude.
What a miracle that one.
I am here to say,
Any one of you that says you don't love Panda Express, you're a fucking liar.
Panda Express is awesome.
Wow, dude, that's incredible.
We totally redeemed ourselves.
I thought, I came, do you like Panda?
I thought I was on an island here.
Yes, Panda Express is amazing.
Oh, dude, I love Panda.
So it goes number one, Panda Express, number two, Dave's Hot Chicken, number three, in and out,
number four, Shake Shack.
Five Chipotle.
Come on.
Shake Shack died so Panda Express could live.
And I'm okay with that.
I'm okay with that.
That's incredible.
But shout out the crinkle fries.
Oh, dude, panda.
Holy shit.
Double orange chicken?
You fucking insane?
That's amazing.
Did you say double orange chicken?
Bang, bang.
Yeah.
Bang, bang, dude.
Overflowing.
Don't act like double orange chicken's like this normal thing.
That's the most normal order of all time.
That's the most popular order of all.
Is it actually?
Yes, dude.
I got to step my Panda Express.
I'm a fucking idiot, dude.
That's insane.
Holy shit.
Yeah, right.
Don't trust him with anything.
Don't trust him with anything.
Okay, now we're going.
So we did a Q&A thing on the page.
We got a bunch of submissions.
How much time?
we have Sean. What time is it actually? Yeah, it is
actually 6.54
p.m. Okay, so let's rip 10
minutes. 10 minutes. You guys put in some
awesome questions, so we're going to get into that. Let's start it off.
The first question is, how did you meet
Sean?
Wow. Okay, this is actually an awesome story.
We came into the office one day, and there was a box
of lucky charms sitting
there was a rainbow that happened to end at that death.
I don't know if we can be racist
to Irish people, but we're getting close. We're getting
dangerously close with all of these jokes.
You guys get the path from me.
Yeah, yeah, right.
There we go.
This is actually cool because no one knows this because you were just in it.
But Sean, we, so one of our producers who was doing the show had Sean got hired at Almost Friday
and to do a completely different job, like not even close to.
I would also say maybe the first time in Almost Friday Media History where someone was hired
specifically to do a very intense jump.
Yeah.
Like it was, there was like there is one thing that you're supposed to do.
He was hired.
and then immediately was told to do something else.
Yeah.
So we walk in and our producer
has a family emergency and is like,
I'm leaving, I'm going home for like a long time.
And so everyone was like, hey, Sean,
you have to produce the Anthony Netters podcast
and they're doing a live stream today, go.
Irish cinematographer Sean
produce a hockey podcast.
And he fucking did it great.
And he fucking nailed it, dude.
Let's go.
He sure did.
By the best part, let's see.
My favorite part about Sean's journey
was immediately we get in for the first pod and he's like I've never done this and we're like
you're going to be great no worries whatever and I was like there's a camera there that you need
to turn on yourself and he was like abs of fucking loot me not and next thing you know he is
live streaming heated rivalry with us and doing again an incredible job so yeah Sean was a nice
gift for us yeah I still remember the first time meeting you guys and and I remember you were you were
doing the college show at the time on a Tuesday.
Yes, that was like the big thing.
And you're just like, I just want somebody to care about the college show.
And I was like, I'll make them care.
Yeah, yeah.
Dude, you edited that for so long.
He did.
And it was so good.
It was fucking amazing.
God, it was a lot.
I went too many hours for, for college show.
I know.
It was for all 200 views that I got.
Those 200 people had a great time.
Yeah, they should go back and watch.
And they went, the editing on this is incredible.
Yeah, there was actually, there was no comments about the editing.
Well, now you're getting fan edits.
It's about you.
So, we've come a long way.
We've come a long way.
Sure is.
But yeah, no, it was really, you know, it was just rolling with the punch as came in.
And then I was shitting my pants, having never produced a podcast before, really, in that way.
And then I think we were actually mid-episode when you started talking to me.
And you said, like, Sean, what do you think about that?
And I was like, what?
Sean, look at the microphone in front of him and was like, I thought this is like here for someone else.
All right.
Next question.
Favorite scene for, favorite scene.
each from Heated Rivalry Season 1.
Oh, hell yes.
Dude, wow.
Oh, wow.
Hell, yeah.
This is tough.
It is, dude.
Can I say mine first so I can steal it from you guys?
Yes.
The nightclub scene.
Really?
Amazing.
The most amount of drama, the best cinematography, the soundtrack.
Yeah, oh, yeah, you love the soundtrack.
The soundtrack was so good, yeah.
So, yeah, best scene in the whole show from it.
That one's great.
I always go so emotional with these.
I'm sorry.
Um, mine is the Elya Tunnel Russian confession.
Speaking Russian, confessing all of his feelings.
That was just so fucking well done.
Every bit of that.
Yeah.
I was a puddle during that scene.
Oh, my God.
Um, fuck.
I think my, when I think about the show, my first reaction is full sperminator.
When he's, when he's walking through the airport, like the one I'm talking, like, when I
what I picture. When I think about the show, it's
Elia. All time. Codoffs.
All time. Shades walking through the Ottawa airport
like this. Yeah, no one saw me.
And I'm like, are you fucking hiding?
NHL superstar.
Looking like the sexiest dude who's ever lived. Anyone
notice you? No. Full sperminator.
Not a single person. That is it.
So either that or the spit in the hand.
Spit in the hand. Spit in the hand.
Not the mid-phone call blowjob face.
Slatsy idea. That was fucking great.
The spit in the hand, dude. That was like,
That was unbelievable.
That was a special moment.
I think those are three great scenes.
Yeah.
The next question up,
favorite character from Heated Ruthering.
I don't even have to answer that one, dude.
My girl, dude, spent Lana.
Holy shit.
Someone mailed me, I don't have it on,
someone mailed us some swag, some bracelets,
and someone sent me a Chris Lana bracelet.
Yeah.
That was so good.
It's incredible.
Yeah, yeah.
Behaviorally, I want to say, Shane.
I feel like I relate to Shane so much with the way he operates,
but I got to go my guy, Kip.
Oh, yeah.
Shout out Robbie GK.
The best.
I just love me some Kip.
I was going to go Kip.
Damn it.
This is why I want to go first every time.
I do like Scott Hunter a lot.
Yeah.
Because he's like King.
He's so mature.
But I feel like one of us has to give love to the main two protagonists.
So I'll go, I'll go Shane.
Nice.
I'll go Shane.
There we go.
And if you could change the script.
of any one hockey game,
which one would it be and why?
Whoa, sick question.
Wow.
The fuck?
Um, okay.
I'm gonna, I got one.
Okay, go.
I'm gonna be topical,
2010 Olympics overtime, USA, Canada.
Dude, after.
But it feels blasphemous to take away
the golden goal for Sidney Crosby.
Yeah.
Sorry.
What a moment in hockey history.
But when Poresey tied that game,
dude,
That was awesome.
Okay, I think I'll go this.
I wish the year the Bruins came back against Toronto in 2013 was so epic, but then they lost that cup.
And it kind of made everyone forget that comeback.
I wish I could change that.
But even if the Bruins won game six against Chicago, I think they would have lost game seven anyway.
Chicago.
So I'm like, I can't even change that one.
So I'm going 2023 Bruins game seven against Florida.
First round.
Oh, the Marshan.
I think if, yeah, like I think, yeah, I'll do that one.
I'll do game five even better.
Marchand scores that breakaway after the bus.
Can you imagine how different things would be?
And Monty's the coach and he has a cup and everybody's happy and it's all sunshine and rainbows and we're eating lucky charms and it's fucking perfect.
My life is perfect.
And now Monty coaches the blues and I'm fucked.
I like that one.
Which one are you changing, Sean?
Yeah, Sean, which is it?
Was it 77 Olympics?
Yeah, Sean changes 1980.
Sean wants the Russians to win.
It's like erase miracle from them.
Didn't you say you were born in the Soviet Union?
So you would want them to have won.
I see you, spy.
We're on to you, okay?
Thank you for your support despite the fact
you've never seen a game of hockey
and you just had to listen to us talk about hockey
for an hour straight
and it was probably really boring to you.
That's like me every day I go to work.
Welcome to Sean's life.
It's all coming out now, Sean.
Thank you for coming out.
out here. And also, I'm still on to you. So,
yeah. All right. So next question.
Which player is going to get the next Raymond,
was it, Broke? Bork. Bork.
Yeah. Raymond Bork moment.
Yep. Our abs fans over here.
Brock Burns, Claude Giro.
Drew. So we're just going to have Sean say hockey names.
So what do you guys think? Which player is going to get the next?
Yeah. So for any of the not the biggest hockey fans,
Ray Bork played for like 20 years,
played for the Bruins for a long time.
Then I got traded to the Abbs
and finally won a Stanley Cup.
One of the most iconic moments
in NHL history, Joe Sackick, the captain.
The captain is supposed to lift the cup first.
Yeah.
And Joe Sackick passed the cup to Ray Bork
to have him lifted first
because he'd finally won one.
Awesome moment.
One of the greatest clips of all time.
I think it feels weird that it's the abs again,
but I think it might have to be Burns.
Burns is like 40 years old.
Cains.
He would do it for the Cains,
but Brock could do it for the ad.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But Burns would be sick.
Burns would honestly be sicker than Brock for the dude for the dude, because they were
on those shark teams that were so good.
What do you talk about?
Brent, what do you think Brent Burns plays for?
Oh, he's back on the abs.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, he's last.
But I guess it's going to be both.
I was confused about Brock.
They're both on the ass.
Yeah, yeah.
So who would get it first in that scenario?
Brent Burns will get that cup second.
You think so?
Yes.
I think Brock deserves it.
What are you talking about?
It would be so sick for him, dude.
just battle.
He has been this guy.
Brut Burns is practically dead.
He's the oldest man
who's ever lived.
How old is Brock?
Like 34.
He's old than that.
No, I don't think.
Really?
Someone looked that up.
Brock Nelson.
How old is Brock Nelson?
I guess that's someone's me?
Yeah.
Sean?
Oh, I don't have Wi-Fi over.
You know what?
I've got a sleeper one actually on the Canes.
Taylor Hall.
In the league for a long time.
Bounced around, former first round.
Overall.
Former MVP.
Former MVP.
That would be cool because he got, he should have won on the bees that year.
Yes, he should have.
34 years old.
Nice.
Dance so good at that, dude.
That's insane.
Yeah, Brent Burns is dead.
He's literally dead.
It's my special.
Yeah.
Okay, so he gets it second.
That would be cool.
I would actually, on a personal level, I think it would be, I want Giroux to get one so bad.
Yeah.
Whoever said it earlier, Ottawa sucks.
Someone over there hates Ottawa.
I think it's parish.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah, that's good.
Take on Gavin's arrest.
Oh.
Yes.
Round of applause.
All right.
For again, those who don't know,
Gavin McKenna is a freshman at Penn State.
The projected first overall pick
beat the wheels off a dude at Penn State earlier,
or this past weekend.
Charges dropped, correct?
Felony charges have been dropped.
The story goes,
he was with his family,
and a drunk dude came up to him and called his mom a whore.
So to that, I say,
your chin broke for a reason, pal.
Talk shit, get hit.
Talk shit, get hit.
Listen,
violence is not the answer most often.
Sometimes, yeah.
But you call my mom a whore.
I'm going to sleep the shit out of you.
Dude, I would draft him higher than one if I could after that.
It has been so funny seeing some of the people being like,
this is why you got to keep your emotions in check.
His stock's going to plummet.
And I'm like, are you out of your mind?
Like, NHL teams are going to hear about this and go,
not only am I drafting you first overall,
here's the keys to the city.
I also think he wanted the college experience
and he fucking got it now.
He was like, all right, I'm going to get a bar fight and bury someone.
There we go.
That is very true.
That is a very specifically Penn State experience.
Good for him.
Yeah, good for him.
Yeah, correct.
Very true.
There you go.
He can fight his own battles.
Gavin McKenna, we're on your team, big time.
Biggest pet peeve in modern hockey.
that they allow you to regroup in overtime.
Fuck that.
Get in the zone, dude.
Get in the zone.
This cycle back, dude, we got to change the rule.
I hate it.
Okay.
I hate it.
Mine is the playoff seating.
Oh, yeah.
It is the stupidest thing in the entire world.
The fact that the two and three seats play each other is so fucking moronic.
Go back to one through eight.
It's, like, listen, sometimes you try stuff.
Sometimes you go through phases.
Sometimes you have broccoli with chicken barn.
Sometimes you eat broccoli and you go back to have a pasta.
But you need to just learn that it doesn't need to last forever.
Go back to the thing that worked.
Agree.
I love that.
Pasta.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
All right, something that you think is goofy in the game of hockey, but you love it.
Ooh.
That's nice.
Superstitions for me.
Nice.
For those who don't know, hockey dudes are, hockey people are the most superstitious people on earth.
And what's funny is it lasts even when you are a washed bum like us and the boys into beer
league.
Like we just do the dumbest shit of all time.
It's like if my left skate doesn't go on first, then I can't play the game.
And it's like, pal, you're playing at 10.
We might only lose by five instead of.
You're playing at 10.45 p.m. on a Wednesday in El Segundo.
You don't need to do your fucking routine, I promise you.
Okay, mine is, and this is sad, this is going away, mine is the ebug.
I don't know if everybody knows what the ebug is.
but it's the emergency backup goalie.
So every rank has a goalie, just ready.
If two goalies get hurt on either team,
this guy just comes down in place.
He's not in the NHL.
He's just a guy who's up there.
And the e-bug for the Kings is literally right there.
Which is fucking all time.
And we were actually at the game the other night,
and Darcy got hurt.
And Parrish was dressed up, ready to go.
And I was like, holy fuck.
I'm never rooting for injuries,
but I was like, dude, this would be fucking electric.
We were at that game, and I was like,
somebody slide into Anton Forrest's Bernie.
Holy shit.
And they're not doing it after this year.
It's the last year of the e-bugs.
The parish will always be remembered
is the last king's e-bug of all time.
Yes, sir.
Unbelievable cool thing in hockey.
That's fucking awesome.
All right, that was our last one.
I do have a question about the e-bug,
so it's like a player who's not in the NHL but can play hockey.
It's not just like that guy up there.
Yeah, no, they pull a ticket, Sean.
They pull a ticket, Sean.
They're like, well, you know,
You know how they do like the kiss cam?
Yeah, they just find someone and they're like, you're the e-bug.
There's equipment downstairs.
Your ship in the NHL would skyrocket.
We just had random people.
That is so amazing.
That's why the Olympics should be.
We should just have random things, like bring people in a van off the street and just be like,
you're doing curling.
Let's go.
I love that.
Oh, my God.
All right.
Well, folks, that is our time.
This has been an unbelievable show.
genuinely cannot believe all of you coming here
you're the fucking greatest people in the entire world
this is so fun and to be able to do it with you
makes it so much better
an absolutely fucking blast coolest thing ever
I love them guys we love you guys
let's all have some drinks let's have a fun night
and until we see you next time
skate hard
there we go
