Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Larry Bird episode of Spittin' Chicklets.
Starting point is 00:00:52 That's number 33 for you folks outside the Boston area. Brought to you by Barstool Sports. Say hello, gentlemen. What up? What up? Hello, gentlemen. Larry Legend episode. My subdued tone is not due to the results of the games on the Stanley Cup thus far. My wife is on a phone interview nearby
Starting point is 00:01:05 so I'm trying to be less of a big mouth for now. Yeah, we were told to keep it quiet. We'll be loud soon enough and I'll be cursing soon enough. And before we get into everything, we had a little mix up in terms of we thought we were going to have a guest this week, okay? Now what happens is sometimes with our guests is that
Starting point is 00:01:21 I don't think they really necessarily know we're recording it like we have 20 minutes because we're just seeing each other once a week. So i don't think they really necessarily know we're recording it like we we have like 20 minutes because we're not we're just seeing each other once a week so they don't really understand that when they're like oh hey can we do it you know next week yeah we can but sometimes we really plan on it so it kind of it kind of sucks but i don't even want to say but there's going to be some good guests coming up we just feel a little bit like i think i'm getting treated a little bit like like a pigeon in terms of getting some guests on like i gotta, I gotta be better
Starting point is 00:01:46 and people are just kind of being like, hey, wait, leave me alone. Come on. It's not you. It's them. Thanks, buddy. Thanks, buddy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:53 But that's, I just wanted, we don't have a guest this week, but that's why, just before we get into how great this has been and how upset you are right now because you're not looking good. These bets are not looking good
Starting point is 00:02:02 and you had one of the worst beats I've ever seen in game one. Yeah, we got to leave with that. We have to leave with that because I feel bad. You were so mad on Twitter, and then people are going at you, and then you're getting more mad on Twitter. And it was...
Starting point is 00:02:17 I know. I understand it doesn't look like you necessarily could tell. I thought the toe was off the ground. I think it's the worst rule ever. It was a joke. The goal didn't count. But once they did the review that's been going on that everyone hates, I thought the toe was off the ground. I think it's the worst rule ever. It was a joke. The goal didn't count. But once they did the review that's been going on
Starting point is 00:02:27 that everyone hates, I thought it was clear. Now you didn't? No. Just for those of you listeners who might not be keenly aware of what we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Good job. P.K. Subban scored what we thought was going to be the first goal of the Stanley Cup. Game one. Blast from the point. Rocket.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Rocket. Cleanly beats Murray. Which means he got beat Four times that night This one didn't count So anyways He scored the goal I screamed so loud
Starting point is 00:02:49 My poor wife looked like Janet Leigh in the shower Psycho You didn't tell us You had this bet I actually On Twitter About an hour before the game
Starting point is 00:02:56 I said PK 20-1 For the first goal How many guys you take That night Just him Legit Last night
Starting point is 00:03:02 That night I only had PK For first goal First goal And 20-1 20-1. 20-1. And you had 250 on it to make 5 Gs, right? So, boom. In the net, I shit myself.
Starting point is 00:03:12 I mean, like, because that was way too high of a number. He was 10-1 last night to further indicate that he was way too high of a line. The place in the power play has a cannon. Yeah, I mean, it's like. It's offensive. So, it happened, and it's like. I went nuts. My wife, she thought, like, the fucking furnace blew up or something. She's like, what happened? What happened? Furnace, like, it's offensive. So it happened, and it's like, I went nuts. She thought, like, the fucking furnace blew up or something.
Starting point is 00:03:27 She's like, what happened? What happened? Furnace, like it's the Christmas story. Like, I know how to fix a furnace to boot. So she come down. Like, what happened? Oh, fuck yourself. And I was like, PK just scored.
Starting point is 00:03:37 I just won five grand. She's like, are you shitting me? I'm like, no. And then, like, you know, like, they go to the replay, and I'm like, oh, well, I see where Forsberg receives the pass from. I'm like, there's no way that's offside. But for a second when you were like, what are they doing? Was it like, oh, no?
Starting point is 00:03:50 Well, yeah. You started panicking. I did. But the initial replay, which was Forsberg back to the camera. You can't even see the puck. Just the way he received the puck. I was like, oh, they're just taking a shot here. And then I saw the replay, and okay, does he lift his foot up?
Starting point is 00:04:05 And basically they come back, and I said to my wife, now I'm pretty, I know I got a money invest or whatever. I'm pretty good at saying, okay, that's going to get overruled. I can remove emotion from a clear-cut call. And I said to my wife, I said, I'll eat my fucking hat if this comes back. Not the number four hat. No, God, no. There's no way that they can overrule it based on what they're showing us right now.
Starting point is 00:04:27 And they come out and they say the play was offside. So you didn't think his toe was off? Here's the thing, Ryan. You didn't either? No. No way. Listen, here's the criteria. It has to be 100% conclusive.
Starting point is 00:04:39 When you look at that and you see there's absolutely no fucking doubt in my mind that his foot is there. And you can't do that with that frame because it's so fucking fuzzy. It looks like a Barbara Walters interview. It's fucking, you can't see it cleanly. Maybe they did in Toronto, but I watched the NHL PR. They tweet out the fucking, you know, the explanation. And they don't even say, they show the frame and it's like,
Starting point is 00:04:59 that doesn't tell you because it was a goal on the ice. I understand when it's the goal on the ice, it's got to be 100%. That's my issue. I can handle the loss bet, but the fact that they didn't prove to me that he indeed... It looks like it, but it's so blurry that you can't conclusively say. If it looks like it, I felt like he lifted the top
Starting point is 00:05:18 and there was almost a little shadow. A shadow with your soul in it. It's not incontrovertible. That's the standard. It has to be 1,000. Like last night's game, for example, Pittsburgh's fifth goal. You look at that. Clearly offsides. Clearly should have been called back.
Starting point is 00:05:31 No doubt about it. You can't say the same thing. It was way closer. I know. It was way closer. It was such. What a difference. Like two.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Like 1-0 on the road in game one. Dude. Well, yeah. And all of a sudden it's three call at the end on the road in game one. Dude, well, yeah. And all of a sudden, it's three call at the end of the first period. Yeah, shoot swing. And then, all right, enough of the gambling. So, anyways, yeah, I had a 5,200, one fucking jump. Well, on Twitter, though, I saw you, like, mad.
Starting point is 00:05:55 I'm like, oh, he's mad. I was steaming, dude. Steaming. What did you say to the guy? Sorry for being salty that I lost 5K. Yeah, yeah, the guy's like, oh, he goes, oh, you're a little salty. Yeah, I was like, yeah, dude, let's last 5K. I go, suck my dick, I told him. And the bestest one guy's like, technically, dude, you didn't lose 5K He goes Oh you little salt I was like Yeah dude Let's lose 5K Suck my dick
Starting point is 00:06:05 I told him And the bestest one Guy's like Technically Dude you didn't lose 5K You lost 250 And I was like Fucking Johnny Semantics
Starting point is 00:06:11 Over here Tell me I didn't Just lose 5K Yeah so Anyways Enough about me And that shit But no
Starting point is 00:06:18 That's the point That's building to Ryan Is it It fucked the Predators More than it fucked me It should have been One nothing All the momentum there And instead Goes the other way um I mean Peke's been bad Peke has been bad he's
Starting point is 00:06:30 had some bad luck two goals off defenseman he's been horrific yeah not bad I can't believe how he look is he does he start next game I mean LaViolette wouldn't commit to him last night he's been yeah he did he that's hard to do. Like, I think, yeah, if you're me, you start him. Like, he's been awesome at home. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:48 They're going home where they've been great. Subban, by the way, guaranteed victory in game three, Marc Messier style. Fuck you get to lose
Starting point is 00:06:54 in this day and age. I love that, I know, nowadays, like, whatever. Everyone remembers if you win,
Starting point is 00:06:59 and everyone forgets if you lose, but the whole, the first two games has been, the first game, and I know it was talked about, like, pretty much beat to death, but that was the worst win I've ever seen a team have in the playoffs,
Starting point is 00:07:14 let alone the finals. I don't even, I think it was 12 shots was top five, least fewest, was it ever a playoff game or a final game? Crazy, it was nuts. So Nashville's like, all right, well, we dominated that game. We should have been up 1-0 if you want to look at it that way. Basically, they should have. That rule,
Starting point is 00:07:32 we'll get back to it maybe. They should have been up 1-0. All of a sudden, they still get it to 3-3. That Gensel, who, how about this fucking kid? I know. Fucking Omaha, Nebraska. How's the summer he's going to have? What did he play? Two years there? Grinnell, can you look up how many years? I think he was two or three Fucking Omaha, Nebraska. How's the summer he's going to have? What did he play? Two years there? Grinnelli, can you look up how many years? I think he was
Starting point is 00:07:47 two or three at Nebraska, Omaha. He's two goals away from the record for rookie goals. Dino Cicerelli has 14 in the Stanley Cup playoffs. So he's actually in consmite consideration now. How can you not really talk about him, at least in consideration? So he gets that fourth goal, which was a great shot.
Starting point is 00:08:03 But it was still, it should have been saved. It was it was a quick it was a quick wrist shot but renee just doesn't get his glove up and it's after this amazing comeback on the road in game one you you're like oh look we end up losing that game and then that then so you think all right well national's fine they just got to play the same way but a part of me was like they're not going to be able to to like how are they going to play that good and have Pittsburgh play that shitty again in game two? He played three years at Nebraska-Omaha. Three years at Nebraska. What round was he drafted, does it say?
Starting point is 00:08:32 Like second, third? Was he even drafted? No, I know. If he wasn't drafted, that's incredible. They got a couple guys on that team. Go to HockeyDB, Grinnell. What do you want, like Google? Wikipedia.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Hockey reference. Thatinnell. What do you want? Google? Wikipedia. Hockey reference. That kid is filthy, though. He's going to be... Have you seen the girls in Minnesota? What's he, 20, 21? What a summer he's going to have. He's from Nebraska, though. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:57 He's not going to stay there all summer, though. He's got to be in Minnesota, dude. I'm assuming that's where a lot of people train now. But maybe he stays in Nebraska. I just feel like every kid from the Midwest ends up living in Minnesota. Third rounder. 77th overall. Now, back to...
Starting point is 00:09:10 And he grew up in Nebraska? Grew up in Minnesota. He's from Minnesota. Okay, so that's why I had Minnesota in my name. Back to Rennie. You know, I don't obviously like what I see. I understand he'll go home. It'll be different.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Now, the thing is, if y'all LaViolette, next game's your season. You can't go down 3-0. It's like, okay, this guy's been terrible in two games. Am I going to go with him? Terrible. Are you going to go with him? If he does decide to go with him, are you going to give him a short leash? Or do you just say, well, the kid's sorrows had better numbers than Rene this season.
Starting point is 00:09:40 I don't know a lot about him. I didn't see him much this year, but he's a pretty solid prospect. I don't know how LaViolette feels about him, but I don't know a lot about him. I didn't see him much this year, but he's a pretty solid prospect. I don't know how Flavio Lett feels about him, but I don't know, man. I know Rene got you there this far, but what has he done to give you any confidence going into game three, man? The only thing he's done is that he's been an amazing goalie for a long time, and he's been really good at home. And without him, you're not there. And so, like, I don't think there's a question in any guy in the locker room's mind that Peck will start a game three.
Starting point is 00:10:10 But, you know, there's also the same guys are thinking, like, but he has to be himself again. Like, holy shit. Right. It's one thing to get, like, the one I played in one Stanley Cup cup final i have told you guys 9 000 times but at least now i can relate to like when we lost detroit was just so much better than us right so it's like not easier to take but in a way it's like oh we were just holy fuck what a team they had you're outmatched you got beat by you got out you got beat by a team that was way better right now like nashville it's like holy shit like we're we're having stretches where we're
Starting point is 00:10:44 dominating these guys. And we didn't even get one win on the road. But, I mean, being positive and looking at it in certain ways, like they won their two home games. We got to win our two. Yeah. I mean, they've outplayed them for five periods. The first game was 39 minutes without a shot for the Penguins.
Starting point is 00:11:02 It's banana land in terms of who they have up front. It just makes no sense. That's how good Nashville can be, just holding the puck and just drilling the puck into your zone and playing the offensive zone the entire game. Last night, I thought they looked a little too cute last
Starting point is 00:11:20 night. They were passing up a lot of shots. They look like they're just going for that perfect shot, whereas Pittsburgh, their first goal fucking i think it was sheer he throws it at the net gensel's there now that's a terrible goal that renee can't give up i watched it seven times he after the first save it caught it was like the size of the puck right he was yeah he makes the first save and then he goes to pick his leg up he's already like flat to the eye he's already sealed he shouldn't he shouldn't move at all and then he goes to pick his leg up. He's already flat to the eye. He's already sealed. He shouldn't move at all. And his glove ends up moving.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Game two. Or was it his glove or blocker side? And literally, I don't know how it went in. You're like, how do you let that in? And Gensel scores another. I'm like, this kid. But then throwing it to the net, and the puck goes in off Fidler. Yeah, those aren't high percentage shots, and they're going in.
Starting point is 00:12:03 And Nashville's not doing that. Well, here's the thing. So Nashville's had great stretches of play. Their goalie has stunk. But they have taken some of the dumbest penalties I've ever seen in my life. In game one, first of all, so they've taken bad penalties, and then the refs in these games. Oh, all playoffs, dude.
Starting point is 00:12:26 It's like I kind of hate ripping on refs because it's just like the players win the game. But at some point, like the way the game's being played, you're like, dude, what are you guys doing? But we'll get into that. The first night, it was a horrific call on, I don't remember who got the penalty, but it was a phantom call in front. And then over on the side, James Neal ran over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he did what James Neal does.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Yeah, and he took these two extra cross checks. It was so stupid. So they're already down a man from actually what shouldn't have been a penalty. And then James Neal could tell them, I'm down five on three. Like two minute five on three. Like how many, you maybe get like four of those a season and one of them
Starting point is 00:13:07 is in the Stanley Cup final so that's being fired up and just playing like and then on the five on three when a team the team with the five on three they got to be careful not to get a penalty
Starting point is 00:13:18 because you already got a five on three and the golden child Crosby fighting for the puck blatant interference slash elbow whatever you want to call it for the puck, blatant interference, slash elbow, whatever you want to call it.
Starting point is 00:13:27 I mean, it was blatant. That's what I'm riding on. And the same pick on any play on a 5-on-3. So you hate the treatment Crosby gets? I don't like it. Don't you think that people get away with shit on him? All the time, but that's a separate issue. It's like a call like that, and you see it all the time. If a team's on a five-on-three, man, they have to know
Starting point is 00:13:47 if you commit a penalty, they're going to call it. That's hockey, man. And he committed, and it wasn't away from the puck. It could have been a call. And it ended up, they ended up scoring it. That's why it was such an important non-call. And again, it could have been Malkin. It could have been any Penguin. It was the fact that the puck was in play. The refs
Starting point is 00:14:04 were looking at it. There was no excuse. And it was blatant. I mean, it was blatant. They came in. There was no excuse not to call it. Again, if they let it go, even strength. Okay, five on three. That's when refs like you're going to get no leeway.
Starting point is 00:14:16 You already get a five on three. And that was huge. They don't call it. They just go a few seconds later. And a two-minute five on three. It's like, but then look at last night. So stupid penalties. They get a two-minute five-on-three themselves, Nashville does.
Starting point is 00:14:31 It's a two-way street. And Fisher takes the dumbest cross-checking penalty on Ian Cole. People, Nashville fans, didn't think that's a penalty. Like you just said, when you're down two men, you get anything you do. So that's why the Crosby one, that was a missed call. But the Fisher, like, and then you lose a two-minute five-on-three. The fact that one of those happened for both teams is like, what is going on with this?
Starting point is 00:14:54 It's just the odds of that are crazy. And it would have been a five-on-two because Bonino took one off the foot and he was useless for that rest of that shift. I don't know how Bonino came back and played hockey. When they showed the rebound behind. Russian tour doll. Yes. Just a quick Russian wit injection right near your ankle.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Bonino's going to be talking with a Russian accent today. Drago. No, he, but the angle that, it looked like it hit right in his ankle bone. I was like, he might be done for the playoffs. It looked like a shattered ankle. So he somehow was playing later in the game. Yeah, that's the power of drugs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:27 But, you know, just the penalties that Nashville's taking. Yeah. And the referees. Okay, so the guy that I've been impressed with most, I think, is this Eckholm on Nashville. He's fucking unreal. Like, skating. He skates it so well. I didn't even realize he had any offense in him.
Starting point is 00:15:47 He's wheeling around the net. He's making saucer passes. He's got a cannon. But he has been the dirtiest hockey player in this series. And they haven't called anything on him. He's slashing, crushing. The hit on Cullen hit him, right? And then he's slashing at Cullen after.
Starting point is 00:16:06 It's like, I don't know what. Yeah. The non-calls last night were crazy in game two. I'm like, what has happened to. There was a time when after the lockout 10 years ago, whatever it was now, when everything was called, now it's like going back to just like complete caveman style out there. And it takes
Starting point is 00:16:25 away from so much of the game that's good i think yeah and like i said my biggest issue is is the lack of consistency and again yeah one night it's one thing each team this is like not a penguins thing a predator thing it's every team every series this playoffs has had bad calls that have affected things greatly i mean all it takes is one call to fuck everything up. And we're just seeing it way too much. I mean, the ironic part is of all the four major sports, hockey's not even close to the worst. You know, like NBA, Tim Donahue. NFL's a joke.
Starting point is 00:16:56 But, you know, our sport, we should have better. I mean, you know, if they – Maybe every ref will always be shit on forever in sports. Yeah, but, like, you know, they've got to establish consistency ref will always be shit on forever in sports. Yeah. But like, you know, they got to establish consistency. Go ahead, buddy. I interviewed Tim Donahue one time. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yeah. And he told me that the ref who, what are the odds of that? The ref who gambled and who got caught, you know, he's a, he, he's a handicapper now. He's a professional handicapper. No shit. Did he go to jail? Oh yeah. He did some time.
Starting point is 00:17:21 How did you interview him when you were in jail too? No, no. I just don't know. Grinnell, he did like six months. I was working at a radio station, and the host didn't show up that day. And they were just like, Grinnell, we need you to go on and host. And I was like, who are the guests that are lined up? The host was just on a bender.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Yeah, and he was like, oh, they have Tim Donahue, the ref that used to gamble. But he said that a ton of refs still gamble. Yeah, but now he's just the guy who's probably just like, I'm not the only guy. You think he's definitely telling the truth there? He was like, what do I have to lie about? He's like, I've already been busted. He's like, I'm a handicapper now. I'm not even reffing anymore. He's like, I don't really care.
Starting point is 00:17:56 He's like, I have nothing to... But it's definitely still happening. Imagine if NHL refs were just hammering the over-under and stuff. Honestly, if you're a gambler and you're going to Tim Donahue for advice, the guy who had to fix NBA games because he was in debt to the fucking mob, then you probably might want to. Call me.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I'll give you a fucking pick for nothing. Don't. Before you spend money on Tim Donahue. A free RA pick. And just on that quick digression, that shows you the power of media and when you have corporate partners because that story should have been as big as scandalous.
Starting point is 00:18:30 I'm dialing the clock way back here to the Alex Karras-Paul Horning NFL story. This predates even my birth. Ask a millennial. I know you just don't know. Actually, I think we might have even done this on an early episode. Alex Karras and Paul Horning were two Detroit Lions. Alex Karras played Webster's father and they were suspended for the year for gambling on the NFL.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Huge. It was huge. Oh, they just hide the stuff. That's what the NBA should have been. Because the NBA has their paws everywhere, nobody wants to upset the apple cart and kick the money train over. So that should have been the biggest scandal in sports ever, but the NBA has fucking dirt on it. Yeah, I don't think the NHL refs are gambling. I just think that sometimes they call a lot
Starting point is 00:19:07 and sometimes they call a little. So you're right. Consistency is just like... I guess it's tough when it's different guys. I mean, they just call the game different. But when the series get... Every other night you're watching the same teams play. It's like, holy shit, this is a different game
Starting point is 00:19:22 because there's two different refs. Yeah, like the one at the start of the game, was it Wilson? I mean, that's a... I mean, I think Milbury saw that's a chance he called. I'm like, dude,
Starting point is 00:19:32 the refs right there, it's a cross check. I mean, yeah, he could let it go. It wasn't the hottest one, but it's like, there's stupid penalties and you can't give the refs
Starting point is 00:19:40 a chance to blow the whistle. You can't put the ball in their court because they're going to fucking blow the whistle on you. And that's what Nashville keeps doing over and over and over again. Yeah, foolishly. So I think the lock of the year might be Nashville game three, though.
Starting point is 00:19:53 You clowns will be down there. That's not why I'm saying. I'm saying because they're going to... I just can't see them going down 3-0 at home. They've been so good. They've played good hockey. Yeah. I don't see how they lose that game.
Starting point is 00:20:11 R.A. hates the word lock. Yeah. Oh, he hates the word lock. Nothing's a lock until it's over, and even then it wasn't a lock. I just say it. Day one as Spittin' Chicklets producer, I tweeted out, like, who's a lock for tonight? No such thing, kid. Immediate text.
Starting point is 00:20:24 There's no such thing as a lock. No. I mean, well, it's like the Simpsons and Jimmy the Greek guy. And Jimmy, the lock of the week. The shoe in of the week with the giant shoe. And there's absolutely no chance that it ends up hitting. Nashville, I probably just completely mushed them. But I'm still going to just hammer them.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Because I think they're getting it done. I haven't looked at the money line yet. Have you checked at the game? No, I haven't even checked. I haven't checked. Vernelli produced that. Produced that shit. Check that money line.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Obviously, there would be a solid play. It's their season. It's their season. It's their season. It's their season. Yeah, and that too. Do we want to get into the national trip now? Yes, you guys are going down.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Yes, we are going down. I mean, now I can say that it was me who said originally, like, guys, why don't you just buy your own tickets? That never was brought up on the podcast. But later on, I texted these clowns on our spitting chiclets things. Guys, why don't you just go down? And they had already pretty much chose to do that. Well.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Right. All right. I'm easily. Oh, he's rattled. You rattled? No. No. We were talking about going before anyways.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Yeah. rattled? No. No, we were talking about going before anyways. Yeah, but it just seemed like you weren't going to go on our last podcast once they weren't going to.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I never said I wasn't. I thought you were done. I thought you were done. I was just upset that
Starting point is 00:21:36 Don't get mad at me. No, I'm not mad at all. No, I'm fine. Last week I got my anger out.
Starting point is 00:21:41 I was upset last week that the powers that be didn't want to send us there. So we're sending ourselves. You're going to crush it down there now. And that's the other thing.
Starting point is 00:21:49 People, I love the guy on Twitter last night. He's like, you guys got to go. You can't just do like, you know, podcasting. You guys got to step it up now that they're sending you. And I was like, buddy, I don't think you know what you're talking about. It's like, we're sending ourselves. That's all. I'm not complaining.
Starting point is 00:22:01 I got it. Yeah, well, no, I mean, I didn't know. But the thing is, I didn't know if Grinnellelli was going to be able to swing it you know i'm saying like if if they're not sending us mics on a budget i'm on a butt like you know i'm easily convinced i'm very the guy who just like does it think and then like after he's like fuck i got no money left but that's the guy i want to hang yeah yeah it was very it was a late it kind of late decision i mean we're literally getting equipment overnighted to us right like today so it all kind of came together late it wasn't like well if they don't you know mean, we're literally getting equipment overnighted to us, right, like today. So it all kind of came together late. It wasn't
Starting point is 00:22:26 like, well, if they don't send us, we're definitely going. I mean, it was, yeah, we want to go, and it was able to work out. Also, the ticket factor, there was a lot of bouncing balls. The ticket factor's huge. I also just think, though, that you guys with these Nashville fans, there's going to be some solid content because I think these people don't know
Starting point is 00:22:42 a ton about hockey for a whole. I think a lot of them do, but a lot of them just love the entertainment. They love their city's team. And you can tell that it's just the best atmosphere going right now. So I think they're going to be fired up to maybe talk hockey with you two. They're going to be baffled by your accent. Yeah. There's some rockets down there.
Starting point is 00:22:58 I might have to slow it down a little. Not picking on them just because I talk so fucking fast. No, they actually are going to probably just eat it up. Yeah. They really might. Listen, I'm excited for the hockey. I'm excited for Broadway, drink with some fans, some award-winning listeners, but I'm excited for the women.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Yeah, exactly. You've got to get on, like, can you set your Tinder or whatever to that location? You can. There you go. Look at that. How hard is it nowadays? God damn it. So easy. I'm married, but I can still be a wingman.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Ultimate wingman. That's the best. I play the role. I'll have the ring on, but you know. So do you guys have a plan of where you'll be yet, or are we just going to figure that out when you get down there and be on Twitter and stuff? Honestly, shout out to the Nashville listeners,
Starting point is 00:23:41 people who tweet out. They've been outstanding already, so I can't wait to get there. We've probably had 40 or 50 recommendations on where to eat, drink, do whatever so far. We're kind of just still packing, getting everything together. We're going to make an itinerary in the next couple days. Next, we leave like tomorrow. Yeah, what the fuck's today? Oh, yeah, we're leaving tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Yeah, we leave tomorrow morning. So I'm psyched. I mean, I say this, anyone who's been around me or far, I've been wanting to go to Nashville for years. It's the best. Anything to do with hockey, just music, city, there's an allure to it. I always want to go, and everyone who goes says it's a blast.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Then, I mean, of course, I got the money and the predators. They go to the country. It was a natural. It was like, you know, this is a calling. I have to go to fucking Nashville now to go to the Stanley Cup. You guys country music, guys? I like it. I like all the country.
Starting point is 00:24:28 I'm not so much on the new stuff. I'm a country guy. I listen to all the music pretty much. Big country music. So we had our dad's trip one year in Nashville, which the dad trips are the best. Every year, the team does one.
Starting point is 00:24:38 One year, we did the mom's trip, which, love my mom, but it's not the same with the moms. You know, like the dads are getting waffled It's great
Starting point is 00:24:45 So we did our dad show Yeah my hands are a little Too much rosé You gotta stuff In a hotel room At 8 o'clock Yeah no the moms Are in the spa
Starting point is 00:24:51 Like the dads You go golfing with It's a little different But so one of ours Was in Nashville And the dads Just get crushed Like you know
Starting point is 00:24:59 You go So the first year In Nashville We did it And that year They had your room With your dad on the road instead of your roommate. This was before everyone had their own room. So it's like...
Starting point is 00:25:10 I don't even room with my dad in Vegas. You're like, what? One, room with your dad. It's just like, all right, I want to have my own thing in here. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, a little late night act. And then two, the dads are coming back at like three in the morning. They're crippled.
Starting point is 00:25:24 And we got a game the next day. Dad, what's my game? I'm like, Jesus. All right. So they go out. There's a team meal with the dads and then the guys go home. We're playing and then the dads stay out. So my dad comes bombing in at like two in the morning.
Starting point is 00:25:38 All the other dads, you can hear him in the hallway. Comes in. I like wake up. But he grabs a book. He's going to go read a book in the bathroom if he wanted to read he didn't want to keep me up so all of a sudden like i wake up it must have been two hours later to like thud like i was like holy shit it sounded like somebody was like just like falling over i go in he had passed out reading his book and when he woke up he went
Starting point is 00:26:03 to get up but his legs were asleep. He didn't realize it, and he just went burying into the bathroom wall. He's like, my legs are asleep. I was like, this is a dad's trip. That's happened to me more than once, dude. You fall asleep on the dumper in the middle of the night, dude. Oh, my God. You get up, and you get up too quick.
Starting point is 00:26:21 It's like you're like fucking Lieutenant Dan. I got no legs. You got no legs, Lieutenant Dan. And the other dad trips, the couple dads took diggers, came in with like stitches in the forehead. I mean, I can't even imagine being a dad. Your son's in the
Starting point is 00:26:35 NHL and you get to go, like you're on the plane with him. You're seeing like how just NHL first class it is. And then you're boozing with all these other dads who are beauties too. That's what Nashville is perfect for. Obviously no names, but any dad's wheel, any broads?
Starting point is 00:26:53 I never, I never. I'm looking up for the divorced dads. I've always heard one story about a guy who he was getting after with a woman per se, and she turned around and looked at him and said, do you like that? You like that? And he said, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:08 And she goes, so did your dad. No shit. No shit. But who knows if that's true. It's a good stuff. Sherman ain't never had no relations. So, yeah, we're fired up, man. I can't wait to get there.
Starting point is 00:27:24 So we're gonna We're gonna game plan Yeah I Just cause we got The NHL Network on here I'm just reminded In this game
Starting point is 00:27:30 That kid's goal We had to mention that kid Oh Aki Berg The future pope Pontus Aberg Like he was Who is The second round
Starting point is 00:27:40 I looked at him Typical Nashville guy But watching that goal That was one of the Prettiest goals I can remember in a Stanley Cup final. Yeah, that is a beauty. And when they scored that, too, that was after not scoring on the 5-on-3, I figured they had it.
Starting point is 00:27:52 So there's plenty of good hockey ahead for them. Maybe you guys can really bring the luck. Yeah, I'm – hey, man, obviously I would have preferred a split, but I think six years ago, I think of this scrappy team from not too far from here. My buddy texted me. Put their asses off out in British Columbia. Come back. I went to.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Came home to a ridiculously rorous Boston. Raucous? Is it raucous? Raucous. I'm making words up today. Raucous. Hey, authenticious. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:18 What is with you fucking Charlestown guys? So, hey, man. Go down. Like PK said, win the next one. Then, you know, know game four it's always pivotal if they can leave nashville tied up at two then we got a best of three uh i can't wait to just experience it like i we goofed on pierre as we always do when he when he said it was louder than chicago after they won the cup uh but i had a friend who was in the building and you know played
Starting point is 00:28:40 in the show and he said it he goes it was it was the loudest building he'd ever heard in any level anywhere and this is a guy who played in the NHL. He said, it's fucking insanity down there. Yeah, I can't wait to hear. We're going to look for us. We're going to be
Starting point is 00:28:52 bouncing all around. You guys should throw a catfish on the ice. How new is that arena? Not, it's 20. I don't know. I mean, how old is their team now?
Starting point is 00:29:00 They've been in 20 years. It's roughly 20 years old because that's the only arena they've been in. This is like their 18th, their 19th year. The arena's sick been in 20 It's roughly 20 years old Because that's the only arena They've been in This is like their 18th Their 19th year The arena's sick Yeah
Starting point is 00:29:07 You see it's like It feels smaller Than like the garden Or bigger I like that But the corners Kind of come in a little bit It's
Starting point is 00:29:15 The rink is sick to play in I would venture to guess Without researching it That the Predators Are probably Maybe the only team In pro sports That
Starting point is 00:29:24 Got their nickname From Ex from excavating the site where they were building their arena on. Honestly, I think they have one of the coolest nickname stories ever. Wait, somebody said to me, what's a Predator? Like, why and what is it? I didn't know this because I always thought that was stupid. I think they probably should have just went with saber-toothed tigers, to be honest with you. I don't know. It's a good idea. Nice Flintstones
Starting point is 00:29:48 tying with that. Oh, but I don't even know the story. Okay. When they were excavating the site to build the Bridgestone Arena on, they came across saber-toothed tiger fossils. No shit. Yeah. The fucking teeth on the logo. That's the fossils of those animals or what they found
Starting point is 00:30:04 on the site. Oh, I didn't know that. That's kind of of those animals or what they found on the site. Oh, I didn't know that. That's kind of cool. And they hadn't... And you can't call them saber-toothed tigers, right? Yeah, I mean, you could have went tigers, I guess.
Starting point is 00:30:12 You know, whatever. Oh, yeah, saber-toothed. That's what the Bear Academy would up there represent. So, yeah, so they fucking dug up, found the saber-toothed tigers and obviously didn't have a nickname yet.
Starting point is 00:30:21 I mean, predator, yeah, I mean, technically all fucking animals in the kingdom of predators. We're predators. I mean, as eat mean technically all fucking animals in the kingdom of Predators we're Predators I mean as he is I'm talking the animal kingdom Grinnell would be a Predator
Starting point is 00:30:29 in Nashville he's a Predator yeah he's a Predator on Broadway I'll tell you that for free Vandy Chicks so yeah so I think that's
Starting point is 00:30:38 I'm a big nickname origin guy I like that shit so I think it's a cool story that that's where they got the name from yeah I mean Predator is kind of a generic term but but the logo is pretty good.
Starting point is 00:30:47 I mean, they found the fucking saber from a dinosaur basically. Yeah, that's pretty legit. I respect the logo a lot more now. I really do. A quick little trivia question. Can you name me the two bad radio? Name me the two NHL logos that are inspired by the Civil War. Blue Jackets.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Boom, boom. That's an easy one. I don't know. Bad radio segment. Tell me. Calgary formerly the Atlanta Flames. Which is kind of a funny name. Yeah, your city got burned down. We're going to cut you the flames. That was why it was?
Starting point is 00:31:20 Yep, the Atlanta Flames. Kind of hilarious. Who knew? Yeah, you do now. What is a thrasher? A bird. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's funny. That place was the biggest joke.
Starting point is 00:31:32 One side of that place is only suites and boxes. Yeah. And the stands behind you for hockey, that was the worst place to go and play. I hated it. Although guys didn't mind living because they lived in Buckhead where Ray Lewis murdered that person. But they really did actually say, like, the fans, it was so bad. So bad. The hockey had no business there.
Starting point is 00:31:52 They're 0 for 2 down there. They should never return. But, yeah, they actually, Atlanta, when they were there, they had three birds of prey as three of their city nicknames. Hawks, Thrashes, and Falcons. Must be a lot of birds of prey down in Georgia.ia you got the stats today fucking bringing it man i'm a i'm an old school logo fucking stump the swamp the funk logo the swamp cleveland barons if you will um all right so what i mean oh speaking of pk did you did you happen to see the e60 on them? Yeah. Did you watch that? Yeah. I didn't know you saw that. Yeah, it was excellent.
Starting point is 00:32:26 That's really, really good, actually. I mean, I thought that he said some great things like, dude, I get so fired up to score goals in the best league in the world, so I celebrate. I'm like, what do you care? I feel like only old grumpy fucks care, though. Who actually gets mad when he celebrates Besides Don Cherry Yeah I mean
Starting point is 00:32:46 That's what you said This is what you're paid to do This is your living And you do The ultimate goal is to score And you do like How do you yell at someone For being over fucking exuberant
Starting point is 00:32:55 You know what I mean Like Like I mean Team of Salani I mean he used to fucking Shoot pucks out of the air His rookie year Remember that
Starting point is 00:33:02 He told me He told me that was The biggest regret he ever had in his career. Oh, okay. So much at that point. No, no, no. I know. Isn't that weird though? But I always thought, why? I go, that's like such a cool clip for everyone to see.
Starting point is 00:33:16 But I think sometimes just people get guilted into being like it's hockey's game where you don't show people up. But he's not even really, I don't know. Well, I think it is. It's a kind of a I don't know if it's Canadian or if it's a hockey culture where it's just like, you don't show people up, but he's not even really, I don't know. Well, I think it is. It's kind of a, I don't know if it's Canadian or if it's a hockey culture where it's just like, you know, score a goal and get back to the bench. I mean, it makes the
Starting point is 00:33:31 game fun, man, when people are having fun. I mean, it just carries over. And like the John Scott quote, I know that kind of raised some Twitter hackles. That was from a year and a half ago. John Scott called him a piece of garbage on the ice or something. Did you catch that quote? Yeah, you gave it to John Scott online, dude.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I saw that. Well, I said, hey, if PK's a piece of garbage, then what do you call, and I listed his three suspensions. I mean, if you're going to call, that's, I mean, what did that hit on Louis Erickson? That's garbage. I mean, because the guy fucking, you know, boat shit does a bow and arrow.
Starting point is 00:34:02 I mean. Yeah, what did PK say back to him on Twitter? But PK, well, I come to find out that interview was about a year and a half ago. Because this whole, the whole segment, they did film it over like a year, year and a half, they said. Well, he said that a year and a half, a year, year and a half ago. Him and PK saw each other. I think it may have been the All-Star Game lunch. So they've commiserated.
Starting point is 00:34:21 They're cool with each other, basically. And PK did tweet out, hey, good to see you, blah, blah. Just to let people know, don't worry about what they're saying on Twitter. Because then John Scott became a captain in the All-Star Game MVP, so he's kind of up in PK's level in the game. He's like, we're cool now. We're cool now. I like the celebration.
Starting point is 00:34:37 But it was cool. But even PK kind of put that fire out, I guess. I mean, I watched it. It's like, dude, if you're going to call someone a piece of garbage on the – I think it should be more than because they celebrated a goal. But whatever, they squashed that beef. My question about that E60 was, I don't know if you guys saw when P.K. Subban got pulled into Michelle Terrien's little film room and just got cursed out.
Starting point is 00:34:57 How many times did that happen to you? I was like the guy in Something About Mary when he said six-minute abs instead of seven minutes. Actually, hold on. I just got a tweet. PK's getting an MRI right now for potential spots on his lung from being in Terrian's office so much. I actually was like, what? What's fucking happened? We got live.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Hey, Brinelli asked how often that happened to you. It happened to me all the time. And he said way worse stuff to me. Although one of his biggest lines, too, he said it there. He said, I told the guys yesterday that you weren't ready to play. You had bad practice. I knew you weren't going to be ready to play. Like, shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:35:34 No, you didn't, dude. Like, you're now saying. He used to say that to me all the time and everyone else. Your practice yesterday, I knew you wouldn't be ready to play today. Like, don't try to then say you fucking knew I wasn't going to be playing well. You had no idea. People have good and bad practices all the time. That reminded me so much how much I disliked that guy.
Starting point is 00:35:57 But those things are so – he used to get so much just vicious stuff. There he probably knew he was on camera and it's PK. But PK actually, he didn't really talk back to him at all. He just kind of took it. You think a lot of players now are kind of giving it back to coaches, which is something you shouldn't do. It's so hard not to, but you just really shouldn't. Fuck you.
Starting point is 00:36:16 It's your coach for a reason. But guys just now, it's just a different game. But he just took it. I think he probably went through that so much. He's like, here, we'll get another one. Yeah. Like, put me back on the ice. I'm going to score.
Starting point is 00:36:28 I'm going to play good. Just shut up. He must have thought he died and went to heaven going from, like, Terrian not allowing him to high five his goal. Low five. I'm sorry. Low five his. I mean, imagine.
Starting point is 00:36:39 That never got, like, attention. Like, Terrian didn't let them do that. Think of how fucking petty that is, okay? That you win a game I mean how many guys have their own little thing how many wins
Starting point is 00:36:48 do you get a year 40 if you have a really good team and they had this little thing that not even like a low five two guys doing a thing
Starting point is 00:36:54 like who gives a fuck and they fucking told them they can't do it anymore I mean it's like what the fuck so he goes from that
Starting point is 00:37:02 to a guy who doesn't like him no confidence to a guy who hey man do your thing you confidence, to a guy who, hey, man, do your thing. You know what I mean? Like, Lavio loves the guy. It's going from a coach who hates you to a guy who loves you and is honest with you and deals with you respectfully.
Starting point is 00:37:16 And he must love it, man. And we're going to go back to this again. Montreal, Castellaw, and this ain't no knock on Shea Weber they made the trade then they end up firing Terry and this must suck for Shea Weber and it's going to be even funnier whenever it is when they end up firing the GM and then they're going to and Shea Weber is like still making you know whatever it is he's making
Starting point is 00:37:36 and you know and let's face it every defenseman gets old he's not going to do it forever I can't wait I can't wait for the shot in front of that right now it just I mean yeah you got to give it a year or two, I guess. But as of right now, it doesn't look like a good trade. It looks like Montreal lost the trade big time. But Shea Weber right now, watching this,
Starting point is 00:37:57 he's the biggest Penguins fan in the world. And honestly, I say that from experience. You're happy for the Predators if they end up winning, unless he's a way better person than I am. You're happy for the Predators, but at the same time, you're like, come on. Would he be choked? So choked? I mean, I think he would be fucking choked.
Starting point is 00:38:17 That's a great way to put it, as Army says. No, no, that was Halsey. Oh, that was Halsey. Yeah, Halsey said it, because I remember like... I knew it was a Canadian. I'm like, is that a good thing, a bad thing? I had like a no idea. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:38:29 Oh, shit. Now, what are you going to do for the game Saturday? Anything? Just fucking TV? You don't do the bad thing anymore, right? No, dude. I got to watch games. Like, I can't watch a game at a bar.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Me neither. Yeah. I mean, when I actually want to watch it, like I'll go watch a football games, but if I actually want to watch the Patriots, even a bar that puts on volume, which no bar in Boston
Starting point is 00:38:51 will be doing that for a Penguins Predators game, they probably won't even put it on the fucking TV. You have to ask them. Dude, it's the Red Sox. They have 99 more games. Can you take the Red Sox
Starting point is 00:39:01 off one of your 78 TVs and put it on the hockey game, Yeah, it's Drew Pomerantz. It's the Stanley Cup Finals. They're like, what? But no, I'll be watching the game. I mean, I'm really interested to see how Nashville ends up playing. I don't think that they can – I don't think they're going to lose the game.
Starting point is 00:39:17 They're a really good team. They've played two games, and they're going home. I refuse to believe – and part of it's just me Not wanting them to lose Because I'll 3-0 It's like fucking Stanley Cup Finals It's over Might as well watch
Starting point is 00:39:29 The fucking NBA I want I think I might try To watch the NBA No I'm down I think I might try Let's jump on that I know we have fun
Starting point is 00:39:37 With the NBA I actually can't wait To watch the series I mean I'm Low key I'm a hoops guy I know we joke on it I probably played As much hoops
Starting point is 00:39:44 As anything growing up Not saying it was a good idea Yeah like you And every other white kid In Boston being Larry Bird Yeah Low-key, I'm a hoops guy. I know we joke on it. I probably played as much hoops as anything growing up. I'm not saying it was a good idea. Yeah, like you and every other white kid in Boston being Larry Bird. Yeah, yeah. That's pretty much what it was. Everyone loves hoops around here. I mean, we grew up in a dynasty. And the Salts were pretty good in the 70s.
Starting point is 00:39:56 They won a few titles in the 70s. People forget that. But yeah, the 80s, everyone around here was a hoop head. But this is a rubber match, one of the greatest fucking, like, you know, three-round fights ever, I guess you want to call it. What are the odds? Golden State is about three to make one on Golden State. Wow.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Yeah, and it's roughly one to make 250 roughly on Cleveland. Cleveland's big underdogs. Cleveland's a big underdog, a sizable underdog. Oh, I didn't know that. And they're playing fantastic basketball. I'll tell you, man. You know, like last year or even two years ago, everyone and their mother was rooting for Golden State.
Starting point is 00:40:30 And then even last year, it was against LeBron. And although LeBron, everyone was rooting for Golden State, LeBron comes in, nasty block. They come back 3-1, all that shit. But now they go out and get Durant. And it's like, David, they went from everybody, the team everyone liked to the team everyone fucking rooting against. And then everyone roots for LeBron.
Starting point is 00:40:46 There's so much of that shit going on. I think it's going to be a pretty good series. Long year for all the other guys in the NBA who just knew they weren't going to be in the NBA Finals. Oh, yeah, like you mentioned. They should have just. To top the show, you know, another guest, not to tease, but, you know, me and Grinnelli are trying to line up a little something for Sunday night's game two of the NBA. Believe it or not, there's nothing going on Sunday with the Pucks because they're between games.
Starting point is 00:41:12 And you'll be down in Las Vegas. We're trying to find a special guest to maybe watch the game with. So keep your eyes and ears peeled on our Facebook, Instagram, and all that shit. I think we've got some all-right Hamiltons to do if it's that time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's time to give us some questions here. Alright, boys. Jack Kaiser wants to know Kaiser Sose.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Say that again. He probably hasn't seen the movie. I have no idea what you're talking about. Emergency Ask a Millennial. I was gonna fake laugh there, but I just did the usual suspects. You ever seen it? No, I've never even heard of it. Wow, this is how you feel.

He's like, no, you're not fucking getting an Escalade, dude. You're not going to training camp with an Escalade. You're not going to be that guy. I was so mad. I'm like, no, you're not fucking getting an Escalade, dude. You're not going to training camp with an Escalade. You're not going to be that guy. I was so mad.
Starting point is 00:43:08 I'm like, all right. And then I think I wanted a Lexus, and he wouldn't let me get a Lexus, old school Lexus. So I got an Infiniti Q45, dude. It was like a nice car if you're 73 years old and retired for 23 years. Dude, I got to camp, and all these guys were like, holy shit, whose car is that? Who is that guy? Just come from the country club, 65 years old. It was so bad.
Starting point is 00:43:34 So finally after that, I ended up getting a new whip a couple years later. But that was my first purchase. That was like the big one. Infinity Q45. I don't know. I mean, how much of them? So you what 19 years old
Starting point is 00:43:46 No I was I was 21 And Pops is telling you You can't buy a car So I don't know If you're a true millennial Because a true millennial Would say
Starting point is 00:43:53 Fuck you dad I'm buying it You're buying it Oh no no What he said Went Dude that's how You fucking gotta be raised
Starting point is 00:43:59 I think You gotta be afraid Of your dad a little bit You gotta be afraid Of your dad That's a fucking known fact We've already established you're on the low end of the millennial scale Like biz
Starting point is 00:44:08 I haven't in me but I'm not It's more the age thing not the mentality thing Like this guy No absolutely What are some other stuff What pop says goes that's the rule It's true In terms of other stuff
Starting point is 00:44:24 I do it everyday Guys just go out and spend What Pop says goes. That's the rule. Yeah, it's true. It's true. But in terms of other stuff, but... I do it every day. God, guys just go out and spend... Guys just go out and usually get real nice cars. It's not as crazy in the NHL as fucking the NFL and you pay off your seven best friends. You go buy all them a car. Yeah, everyone gave you a ride to practice
Starting point is 00:44:40 when you were a kid once a cut. That would have been pretty awesome to be able to do that. Yeah, well, I mean, the NHL guys, they don't go as bankrupt as – well, I mean, Sports Illustrated did that huge story years ago about athletes blowing all their money. When Vince Young thought he would – remember, have we talked about this? When Vince Young, in that article, he went bankrupt, and one of the reasons Was he heard people Flying private
Starting point is 00:45:05 So he wanted to fly private And what he did was He went and bought Every single seat On an American Airlines Flight cross country Because he thought That was like
Starting point is 00:45:13 Oh my word And there was two people That had already bought tickets So it was him His boys And then these like Two random people Oh my god
Starting point is 00:45:20 I don't Oh my god And his crew was spending Three or four thousand bucks a week The guys he was living with At every week Three to four K At Cheesecake Factory
Starting point is 00:45:29 Was it Apple Oh was it Apple I was thinking Was it Applebee Okay Was it Iverson It was either like TGI Fridays
Starting point is 00:45:35 Or Applebee's And they were spending like Thirty fucking grand a month I'm like Dude if I'm Imagine being the person In that Applebee's Oh god
Starting point is 00:45:43 Holy shit. You ended up, like, running the city. Money train. Like, honestly, like, imagine, like- What do you do? I'm the fucking head guy at Applebee's. I make eight million a year. But imagine spending that much money on that food.
Starting point is 00:45:56 I can't fucking- That's hilarious, but that's why you end up on the, you know, assistance fund for your fucking 40. We got to ask guys, when we have guests on, if we ever have a guest on again, we'll ask guys what crazy purchase they ever see. Because Russians do have crazy shit. They have like, they'll wear the grossest, disgusting sweatpants, and then they'll, this is
Starting point is 00:46:15 in Russia, but then they'll have a $3,500 man purse with them from Gucci. Was that a Russian that did the tiger thing? No. Wow. It wasn't a Russian. Obviously, I don't have any teammates who had big contracts. I'm trying to think of something I expurged myself on and wasted stupid money on. Like an Orr hat? No, that was cheap.
Starting point is 00:46:34 I mean... Like a trip? Probably a good trip? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I paid... Yeah, Vegas, actually. I paid two grand to see the Stones at the Joint, which is about the size of this living room.
Starting point is 00:46:45 What's the Joint in Vegas? It's the club at the Hard Rock Cafe, yeah. I can't remember if that was after I won some money or not. Was it sick? Had to be. Oh, yeah, I did. When you win money in Vegas, I then literally, I'm like, what just happened to that?
Starting point is 00:46:57 But it's all free anyways. I got some fucking nightmare stories about Vegas. Holy shit. All right, Grinnelli. That's another time. All right, you may have to think about this one, guys, but Dan Henry asked, what actor would you get
Starting point is 00:47:08 to play Rear Admiral in a Lifetime movie? Oh, it has to be a Lifetime movie? Any kind of movie. I don't know. Lifetime movie, that's funny because then you can get
Starting point is 00:47:16 a real shitty actor. Wow, what actor would I pick for you? Well, see, if I still had my nice head of hair back when I was early 20s, Kevin Costner, no-brainer. Honestly, I'm racking my brain quick.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Maybe the kid who grew up as Chunk from Goonies. Does he want to get Jimmy Snuka's microphone righty-piper right now? You should have seen his face. You should have seen his face. You want some banana? It has to be a Boston guy, but Boston guys can't even play another Boston guy. No.
Starting point is 00:47:49 I'm Ben Affleck. You're definitely Ben Affleck. Or Michael Rapaport, who I look exactly like. You do look like Rapaport. But he can't be Boston. He's too New York. I would like Ed Harris to play me. I could see that.
Starting point is 00:48:03 I could see that. Ed Harris is a hell of an actor too. The Rock dude, what a flick. The late Mel Farreira, yeah, Mel Farreira,
Starting point is 00:48:13 George Clooney's cousin, he was in Traffic. He might have been a good, because you gotta go bald. You gotta find the bald guy. Yeah, you gotta go bald, but Ed Harris does that.
Starting point is 00:48:21 I almost played Whitey Bulger on like a TV documentary. I was gonna say Johnny Depp speaking of Whitey Bulger on like a TV documentary. I was going to say Johnny Depp speaking of Whitey Bulger. Yeah. That's who you want?
Starting point is 00:48:29 I would say Johnny Depp could play him. If Johnny Depp could do Bulger how he did it I think I think Rear Admiral could be Johnny Depp.
Starting point is 00:48:36 It was one of those casting calls for like it was probably a Discovery documentary on Whitey and yeah I legit went in
Starting point is 00:48:42 with like they give you a sheet of lines to read and I had to go in And like Fuck you Pay me the fucking money Because you know
Starting point is 00:48:48 I got the bald head But I didn't I didn't make the cut It probably would have been Awkward around here If I did Imagine if you could get The tape of that
Starting point is 00:48:54 Of that reading That would be incredible Yeah Somebody out there My storied acting career Somebody out there Should I Should I start an IMD page
Starting point is 00:49:02 Just because I was an extra On a TV show A movie And a documentary You've sent him emails before Like hey man Still waiting to hear back From you IMD page just because I was an extra on a TV show, a movie, and a documentary? You've sent him emails before like, hey, man, still waiting to hear back from you, IMDb. I'll tell you what. I'll do it for you so you don't feel bad about yourself. Like for your own Wikipedia page.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Are we going to need more? Yeah. Caleb Jackson asks, Whit, who are some of your favorite teammates to go out, hit the town with during your career? Oh, Hamilton. Oh, man. So many to list. Ryan Malone's really fun. Bugsy.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Really fun guy. Great nickname. Army was hilarious. Bissonette's classic. Wiz just was in Vegas, by the way. I don't know if people caught his Instagram story. That looked like it was a hell of a time. Legend. Ripping up.
Starting point is 00:49:41 And he's on crutches. Yeah, but he was a dominant. He was really dominant. We have to get him back. We'll figure out how that trip went. A little cross promo. He's on McAfee's show. Oh, yeah. Check that out. I think it dropped today. Check that out. The McAfee podcast for our boy Biz. Check this podcast out anyways, but
Starting point is 00:49:57 particularly with our boy. So many guys. Just anyone. Guys who were just funny was the best part. Where did Malone get that nickname bugsy you said his father played the gangster his father played in the nhl before him and then his father was named after bugs it was a gangster like a 20s 30s gangster like the lucky luciano like that crazy like all that whatever well gangsters still have nicknames as we saw that indictment in new york yesterday but, yeah, Bugsy Malone.
Starting point is 00:50:25 My buddy Matt Murley I've mentioned on here before. We've done a lot of hitting town. Speaking of mob stuff and hockey. Biggest mush going. Former Flyers goalie, Antero Nidimaki. Nidimaki. Yeah. He had those old, I think he was a gangster in Philly, Frank Niddy.
Starting point is 00:50:42 So they used to call him Niddy because his name was Niddy Maki. He legit had Frank Niddy on his helmet.chi. He legit had Frank Nitti on his helmet. He had like a real life gangster painted on his helmet. He might have had a couple of them on there. That's always fucking hilarious when you get a guy like killed in loan shock for living on your fucking hockey helmet. Yeah, he's like the idol. Oh, that's a good stuff. Who's that guy's dad?
Starting point is 00:50:58 Oh, it's Philly. Oh, he's a murderer. No big deal. But you know what, boys? I forgot to mention. I do have to give a congrats to a friend of mine, listener of the show, Tyler Ferrari. He won that tournament I was in last weekend for our golf tournament.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Remember? Took me down or I lost to him in the semifinals. So he was money, dude. Congrats to Tyler. What'd you shoot? Cash home. He was three under on 17 when we lost. We were down three with three to go, so we were in trouble anyways.
Starting point is 00:51:27 But we won 16 to get to 17. We're like, oh, we get a chance to win this all, get to 18 down one. And I dead shanked it in front of like 20 people. My lowest, probably the most embarrassing athletic moment of my career. Still not the most embarrassing thing by a golfer in the last several days. Oh, yeah. Tiger, he's looking good right now. There was no blood in his system.
Starting point is 00:51:49 He had to have been on like 15 Ambien. The cocktail he must have had in him with no booze. Definitely Ambien because that's what happens. Ambo parties are the greatest. I never took it. Oh, dude. Take it. One of the few things I haven't tried once.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Take an Ambien and then battle it and watch a movie. Dude, you'll have the best time in your life. You'll look at your phone the next day and be like, what the? I don't even remember sending those texts. But I'm telling you, it's classic. You and the wife do. You guys have a fun night. Yeah, we have a fun time.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Yeah. Now, do I hear? Did I hear this right? Do people do Ambien and Viagra or is that just like some? I haven't heard that. I haven't heard that. I mean, yeah. I haven't heard that yet.
Starting point is 00:52:30 I'm sure that's probably a mixture. That's got to be a cocktail. Tiger probably had that cocktail going. Yeah, and say, honey, I'm going to pass out. Ride me like a hobby horse. Exactly. Go right ahead. Go to town.
