And if you're in the Dallas area and you love Pink Whitney, you can. see biz, biz nasty. Biz nasty 2.0.

In the flesh, in Dallas, this week, 4.30 p.m. at the happiest hour, 2616, All of Street before the Stars and Ducks game. That is Thursday. Little Pink Whitney meet and greet. Take your shot with Pink Whitney. It doesn't matter if you're in Dallas, Tennessee, L.A., maybe celebrating a World Series title. Pink Whitney is for anyone and everyone above the age of 21.

Shout out Pink Whitney, shout out New Amsterdam. Guys, what is going on? Man, Biz, let me tell you something. I'm going to let you take this over. Got it for you. Got it for you in the country of Canada. One of the greatest, if not the greatest sporting events I ever watched with twists and turns at every angle in the city of Toronto

comes out the big losers again. I can't, what do you just, what do you say, you know? I mean, I don't think he could say anything, Keith. No, he can't. He shouldn't. He might have planned that the internet goes out right when this went down. Another thing he's mushed is the internet in Toronto. There's no internet now.

The Leafs stink, the j. And Keith's out too. Oh, no, you're back. He stinks. Oh, business is back. You're back, bud. You're back, but first of all, a Hotel X, great hotel and everything like that, but the fucking internet situation around is an absolute joke.

So am I good? Is it coming in clear again? You're good now, baby. You're good now. If it fucks up again, I'm going to break my laptop over my knee because I've been going through enough in the last 48 fucking hours. All right? I was going to try to keep it even keel, but now it's impossible because nothing's going

right in this goddamn city. And it never does. And first, you were at the game. I think it was 8.07 first pitch. I mean, you were there around 6 p.m. And I think you texted to us, I'm just taking it all in, right? So I imagine the atmosphere prior was just world class. It was unreal.

And I just wanted to get there early because I'd never really been a part of a sporting event like that. And it ended up beating boys, like the greatest sporting event I've ever attended. It lived up to every bit of hype. I was a very casual baseball fan. Like, I am a very casual baseball fan. When I was playing in the league and I went to those biosteal camps, we were fortunate enough where Matt Nicol and staff ended up hooking up with batting practice with the Jays. So I got to meet Brett Lowry, Erin Sebia, was, I believe he was a back catcher at the time.

Ricky Romero was a pitcher for the Blue Jays. So I got to know them on a personal level, and I became more of a fan of the Jays. Well, you know, they ended up taking off and they've had some down years and I've been in the state. So I'm not even going to play it up like us a massive baseball fan. But the fact that they were going on this run this season, I think they started out the season pretty rough, couldn't get any offense going. They had a moment in the season where all of a sudden things started clicking and then they fucking ended up winning one of the toughest divisions in baseball. I would say especially with battling payrolls of the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees. and also after the fact of game seven seeing all the wives from the team come out with like personal notes on social media about how how special the group was and how like the wives like everyone just felt like a family i felt absolutely gutted for them in the fact that they had two opportunities at home to close the ball getting stuck in the wall which you know a lot of people are i don't know how you guys feel about it i think that there were so many key moments

the Dodgers had to make in order to stay the champs and they didn't blink and they that guy who got subbed in in the center field who knew the rule and instead of touching that ball because if he touches that ball it's in play but he he should have buddy that ball yeah I guess you're right he played it right the rules messed up then he could have he could have grabbed that ball there would have been no friction he takes it he throws it it so he played it perfect he did rule so so him him having like being in the moment and understanding the rule and the other fielder who was running up behind him like i think if he would have got there first it looked like he would have grabbed it because i think he was almost shot you fucking guys but there had there was a clip also of of a if it happening i believe it was this year and this guys this happens like maybe once a year that that situation right there there was another one where the pad didn't go all the way to the ground where their ump ended up coming out to the outfield and he's like oh this is not lodged he touched it with his foot and it rolled off of the wall that was obviously clearly lodged do i think he could

have ran up to it grabbed it and still played it absolutely do i think it was advantageous of the fact that it didn't come off the wall at all back to him i think that that if he would have played it i would imagine one guy would have scored and the other guy would have ended up on third but um There's a heads-up play either way. A heads-up play. Like, that's baseball. And very lucky for L.A. If that ball doesn't get large, I mean, yeah.

Yeah, triple. And I just don't want it to get lost in the fact that, like, the, you could just even tell after the game, it was so quiet outside. Like, I'd never, so many people downtown Toronto in it, you could hear a pin drop. I was proud of the way the fans handled it, because obviously sometimes, I mean, we saw, what happened in Vancouver sometimes can things gonna really get off the rails like next thing you know you see a clip of me flipping a cop car like not ideal right like yeah but um first game in 30 years he flips a golf cart yeah yeah but i was really just proud of of the way that the players represented the city and and the team and and how much they competed and they i feel like they honestly left it all out there um if you want to dive into to game seven and and and

like maybe like the emotions of some of the things i was like oh my god like no the one standout for me was the base running was not great throughout the game for the jays a couple times but rightfully so because bo bachette was obviously dealing with injury but you're not taking him out of the game because he's good defensively and he was making unbelievable contact i mean fuck he had the three run dinger right and he i believe he got on base at least once, if not two other times. So in the ninth, when the game is tied, right, you're essentially at that point, you're in extras.

They just tied it. It's 4-4. They get the lead off. All of a sudden, they got runners on first and second, and now is the time to pinch run him. So they pinch run him and they sub in the guy whose sole purpose is to come in the game and be unbelievable at running the bases.

So then all of a sudden, it's bases loaded, one out. Going back to the game prior and how it ended, I get why they would maybe be a little hesitant to get too far off the bag, where they don't all of a sudden want to hit into another double play to end it. But you just subbed in as a pinch runner, okay?

I'm assuming one, if not the fastest player in the team. I don't need you cheating maybe the same length as the third basement is off the bag, but at least split the difference. The minute that Varsho, is that how you pronounce his name, Varsho? You guys can help me on the chat. Number five, the center fielder for the Jays,

who unfortunately was 0 for 9, with 13 runners in scoring position in the last two games. That is, that's a killer. But, but in that situation, he makes contact he puts the ball in play and if that pinch runner cheats halfway the distance if he is two or three more feet which for sure he should have been because that would have been half the difference that the third baseman was off the bag to the middle keep in mind i'm not like i don't know anything about the analytics world but that the number five varsh the center

fielder for the jays had only grounded out like a couple times that way all season long so he never hits it to the third base guy ever so that the fact that he slid feet first and not hands first i don't know i felt like in that moment he was so lazadaisical and another element to that is when he makes contact he kind of jumps up a little bit and then by the time he finally gets down then he's running so he even killed more time by giving that little jump in the air so that to me was was the one where i was like oh my god that was their world series to win and now it's over and i don't i don't even know the guy's name who was the pinch runner and i don't i'm not like saying he's the reason they lost but i just feel like that was such a small detail

where even just reading things online people were like i played baseball at a very low level and is just like that's 101 that is as easy and are you guys on the same page as me do you think that that was probably the the biggest glaring mistake that that game should have been over there was a million in typical Toronto fashion a million I know there was a million but would you say that that was numeral uno honestly yeah but Hoffman throwing that slider like in like the guy throws it a hundred miles an hour Rojas, the guy didn't have a hit for a month, a full month. So also credit, credit the manager for the Dodgers.

Is it Dave Roberts? Yeah, he made some, and he put that center fielder in too. So many ballsy decisions. The fact that he put him in for morale and also team defense in game six and kept him in and did not pinch hit for him in that situation, given the fact that he was cold at the plate. But mind you, I don't even think they're in that situation. if not for the defense that he had played in those two games.

And did you hear the backstory of his wife telling him that she's like, you're going to hit a home run? Like I have been sent this message from our Lord and Savior. You were going to find a way to get a dinger. And then for that gift across the plate, what were you saying when that went out of the park? I screamed at the top of my lungs. I literally, I said, this fucking city.

is something else. That's what I said after I screamed. I said, this city and these poor Canadians all across your great nation with Toronto being the city that they're in, these poor Edmontonians who are fooled watching the game on the big screen in the middle of the Black Hawk's Oilers game that that runner scored, no, no, they're in Toronto. They didn't score. They lost.

They lost again. And this friggin' city, man, it's, I mean, I don't even... Well, it's not even the city. It's the country, man. Like, Edmonton's... But the country's stuck with the team in the city. The country's team is stuck in the biggest loser city in pro sports. No, it's not.

No, it's not. Okay, Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland. We got Cleveland. We won an NBA championship not too long ago. I don't know exactly what it was. True. Very true. And the Cavs won one with LeBron. It's Cleveland.

It's Cleveland. It's a way nicer, more beautiful Cleveland. Sports-wise, you're Cleveland. And the Dodgers business, this stat blew me away. And only for a team in Toronto. They had the lowest batting average as a team to ever win the World Series. I think that's what it was. The Dodgers batted 203 in the World Series.

the worst mark by a champion since 1966. It's like... So they tried to give it away. They tried to give it to them. Pretty much. And like the, um, the screenshot that's going around of four to four, bottom of the ninth, one out, and the base is loaded. And they lost the game.

It's like, uh, and, and then poor Kirk, that, that catcher, Kirk with the body of like a 1970s wrestler. Oh, he gets, he gets, he gets carted every. time he walks into the stadium, even his own. No, I'm, I'm, they, like, there's like, there's no way this guy's a professional ball player. Like, this guy's delivering Joe Louis or something.

But, like, dude, just get it up in the air. And, I mean, that Yamamoto, he's like the, one of the best pitchers I've ever seen. What he did in game six, he's, what he threw 90 pitches in game six, then he comes in in game seven. But the game overall was, it was truly

like, must watch edge of your seat baseball and that's when baseball can be we've we've actually talked like on this show many times about playoff baseball being right up there with playoff hockey o t playoff hockey i think r a brought it up too last show or two shows ago but that game was was it was something even different and the country trying to get a championship 1993 and i thought i really thought vladdie was going yard i really did in the bottom of the knife i thought he was taking that thing moonball And Flattie had talked about getting a ring for his dad and, like, I wanted him. But God damn, it's it entertaining with Toronto blows it.

Like, yeah. Biz, I got to put a little blame on the third base coach, too. Like, I know, like, the guy didn't. That's what my dad said, too. What does he do? Like, there's no communication, like, all, every clip and still shot that I've seen, like the coach is just kind of sitting there. Like, Kirk could have scored from there.

If he, like, if he had a little bit more of a league. So you're going, you're obviously going. back to the pinch runner not scoring in that situation. I mean, that's the game. I honestly, I just, I would love to get that guy on chicklets and just say, what

are you thinking in that moment? Your only job is to score. And it's like, I don't need you cheating off the bag that much. I just need you being half the distance that that fucking third basement

is off the bag. And also, Even if he gets a line drive and catches it, he can still beat him back to the bag. It will not be a double out. Do you guys assume that it was more of a psychological thing because that had happened the game prior? It's almost like all the events leading up to this. Like it's all like the guy on the wall

in that the fucking Philadelphia show, like tying the beautiful mind. It's the city of Toronto. And I was talking about this with Big Dan. He was kind of saying, I like the games there it's moving so fast dude and the pressure and the adrenaline and it's like maybe the like every you know what I mean everyone's mind's moving a million miles an hour and that coach is just kind of asleep at the wheel like hey take take two more steps two more steps

when actuality he just needed a half a more step to win yeah and the other thing too it's like it's like the bases are loaded so there's no not much thinking like you're going on contact Going on contact. You're going on contact. So there wasn't really any other variables. But like I want to draw it back. And I said this earlier. Like when I originally like I started following the team.

It became passionate about them when I met the, the Brett Lowry, the Erin Cibia, Ricky Romero and the rest of the guys did batting practice. Like this series and this run has like made me like fall in love with baseball. Like that was an iconic series. Probably the best best world series ever. There's only been one other one. one that's gone to extra innings. There's only been 40 game sevens in major league history.

So, I mean, you have to put it right there. And it's just, I'm heartbroken for the, like, Ernie Clement set the, the world series, or the, the playoff record, MLB for most hits. He hit 30, I think he had 30. He was tied at 29 and then got another hit. 33 or something. Was it only 30? That guy.

I think he had 30 or 31 hits. Baller. Yeah. He wants to. do a sandbagger with us. So obviously the invite is still very much on the table. Unfortunately, we're going to have to hand him another L. But

him, Schneider, and then I think they're going to get one other guy. But I appreciate everything that those guys did coming together and elevating the city and representing it with class and the country really, right? They had the country rooting

for them and they did so with class and integrity and it's just really unfortunate that they couldn't knock off the champ. And as soon as the game ended, it's like you have to knock. The guy said the announcer, you got to knock out the champ to beat the champ. That was a great call by that guy. Because I noticed that. I was like, wow, obviously they're thinking about what they're going to say.

They're planning it out. It's memorable to put your kind of stamp on the moment. That guy crushed that there. Yeah, just sick to my stomach. I mean, the other thing. And we're going to bring on Army. I think he's in Toronto with you. The Penguins, guys.

We'll get into them. What a story this is. another one. I met, I, I shook Dubas's hand down, uh, I went down and saw him by the Penguins lock. Hey, Biz, nice to meet you. No, he fucking, he gripped my hand. He pulled me in. He says, if you talk about the fucking

Gensel trade one more time on that podcast, he goes, I'm going to knock your jaw to the other side of your head. And then he bag tapped me and walked away. Okay. Oh, yeah. Fair. Um, so you're taking L's left and right this. Well, and this is, and this is, something, Keith, that, you know, we're a team here.

And I don't, you know, I don't want to bring stuff up. But, like, there's some things you kind of have to address. Like, there was a lot of blame going around to you, Biz, for mushing that goddamn team. And I know you saw the tweets. I saw, I saw hundreds and hundreds of, like, this guy shows up for Toronto sports. And it's a guaranteed out. Not one person said that to my face at the stadium. Not one person.

Very internet like. It's all the internet bullshit and idiots at home. First of all, I talked on the podcast saying I'm not like, I'm not putting on the foam finger. I'm not going in there with the Blue Jays cap being like, I've been rooting for the team for years. I'm part of the booster club, bro. Put me in, coach.

Put me in. Right? Well, what Keith said, though, it's true. Like, I said, I said, I'm going there. I'm staying neutral. I'm rooting from a distance. I want them to do it for not only the city of Toronto, but for the country.

I was rooting for. And you know what? I was also rooting for baseball. These guys sent $1.2 billion to the mound, the L.A. Dodgers, to the mound in the last game, in game seven, okay? So, mind you, I don't know how many of those dollars are in deferred money. I think that baseball needs to figure out some sort of cap situation.

Oh, here you go. It's like the state tax and then the lottery taxed. Just because your teams can't figure it out, don't blame everybody else. I'm not, I'm saying that I have, so Alan Walsh might send out a fucking hitman to get me here. I think there's a sweet spot between teams like the Dodgers and the Yankees and even the Jays in some such. Jay's got money too. I believe that the Jays are like fifth to tenth in payroll in the MLB too. so you can't just blame it on that.

But when you're deferring that much money and you're sending $1.2 billion to the mound in Game 7, it is tough to not argue the fact that for the sake of the game, like make the Pittsburgh Pirates spend money. Make them hit a certain floor. Well, I heard Logan Cooley's going to buy them who's coming on later. No shit. From Pittsburgh.

Yeah, local kid buys the pirates. You're right. I mean, Biz, I'm with you a little bit. I, like, if the season gets canceled over it, it's a complete joke, not next year's baseball season. The season after, there's a lot of noise that that thing could be done completely. And as I made it clear in July, like, I think I watched the last 67 Red Sox games. Like, I love baseball.

It's taken me back to my youth, back to my early late teens. Now, even hockey, where the cap's going. right there's going to be teams that aren't spending to the cap so i think baseball could work because it's not going to force teams to spend it i mean it might force them to get to the floor but teams will still be able to be like huge spenders when other teams won't unless coolly buys them and just goes completely all in and just spends to the cap but baseball i'm with you biz there probably needs some sort of market reset here just there has to be a a top line even if it's extremely high.

Like, I just, they also need to crack down, I'm assuming, on the deferred money because the rich teams will always always find the loophole in order to get the best players and pay them the most money. So they just might need to minimize that. Here's another thing. I think it's also crazy that you have these certain guys who are making 50, 55 million, yet these players that are on these entry level deals are locked into their entry levels for five years.

So I view that as a problem. Like these players should put their foot down where, is it you savage is that how you say his last name i think he's making like a hundred grand this year and he's under contract for another four years making peanuts the guy was fucking living out of his truck during this playoff run i think the team was even him having to move out of the hotel when they were on the road so you could get a room so i should out to rogers and a ticket to the game no i took one of the guys wives tickets that's why they lost but no no uh rogers put me in a in a box and we were actually right next to magic johnson uh their management

and then uh uh tony robbins was right next to us the guy who does all the motivational so uh and then we were in the box with all the raptors as well so i met that uh that dick guy like big grady grady dick great great great dick yeah i met him uh i think it's is it scott barns or Stu Barnes. Stu Barnes played a hockey. He dresses like he could be on the West Brady Dick. Okay, they got a Barnes guy who plays for the Raptors. I'm brutal with the names and other sports,

but I mean, baseball is definitely a very interesting game. And I'll always go back to their very traditionalists, 162 regular season games. Don't give a flying fuck. Wish they would just minimize that and make more playoff baseball because that is it. Playoff baseball is neck and neck with playoff hockey in my mind. An incredible series.

So sorry for Canada. Thank you. I appreciate that. But the city of Toronto has let your entire country down, you know, numerous, numerous, numerous times. But I, but I, but I, listen, we didn't win, buddy, but, like, I'm telling you, is, is people here are proud of the way that that group came together. 100%. young and you know what i'll say the same thing to vladdie i hope they're bringing back bachette where they can work out his contract clement um schneider all these foundational pieces

like boys this is just the beginning like i would say it's going to be very very difficult to get back like it always is a hundred percent but like that could have been a moment where you know 25 years from now it's like we had that you know and we haven't sniffed it since yeah and i know that you're always going to be negative and you're playing the No, no, they're in a tough division. They're in a real tough division. You're playing the antagonist, excuse me, but. No, I'm not busy. I'm being honest with you.

I know what you're saying, and I get that the country is so proud of them, and they should be. They should be. It's just that city is, that city has a stench on it like no other. Like a disgusting old egg fart. That's Toronto. But I'm, I'm going to say this to the people calling me the new Drake curse, blah, blah, blah. You shouldn't have gone to game seven. I will never in my life ever apologize for rooting for my country.

I showed up to support my country in that instance. I will never apologize for rooting for the Maple Leafs. I will wear the Maple Leaf proud. I will wear this poppy proud as well. It's Remembrance Day coming up on the 11th. So make sure to get your poppies in Canada and represent and show respect to those who served our country to make it the wonderful place that it is and the freedoms that we get to enjoy living in it. I love Canada

and as disappointing as this was the boys at the Olympics they're going to make us proud and that's when we're going to have our glory and I'm going to be fucking laughing at you motherfuckers on this proud guy that loves Canada the only question is

does Canada love you back and I don't know the answer to that right now I saw Sid I saw Sid down below after I saw Dubas he stopped and came and talked to me and he says hey buddy sorry about the loss he goes but hey in italy i got you and he gave me he gave me he gave me the mario wink okay me the mario wink and he says i know he didn't i know when you're

18 at training camp he didn't want to grab lunch you but he says when you're back in town he says he loved you so he said to me and then uh i saw stutzy down there he's still banging on the glastra Letang, LaTang, he hasn't aged a day, that guy. He looks, he's got the hair going. What you're saying? But chugging from the fountain of youth, correct? But chugging from the fountain. Saw Carlson.

I said, I said, Eric Carlson. I said, you're playing great. He goes, yeah, I'm playing defense this year. You most certainly are. I said, Olympic year. He goes, yeah, maybe I'll play defense another four years from out of you. Well, we have a guest to talk penguins, an exciting storyline of this season

I was just going to say we should put a poll up in the chat and ask fans who they would rather have on their bandwagon, you or Drake. I would like to know for personal research.

One quick thing, Arby, before we get you going here, is I got to spend that game too with Corey Connors, the golfer, was in that box too. So we were hanging out, me, him and his buddy. Canadian royalty. Canadian royalty, buddy. So he was a great dude, great spending time with him. And obviously we'll have to golf with him at a certain point.

but armed dog enough about the jays i know that you're probably disappointed you're you love the jays but your penguins are rolling at least somebody's winning around here it was cool to be in the city man i was walking around you were at the game and we landed after the winnipeg game that night boys um and so we're like scrambling now to get to somewhere to maybe watch this game when we landed and there's like man there's like people on the street like you know old timey old timey movies that you see people gathered or around the outside of a window watching through a TV, watching through the window watching the TV.

That's what it was. Like, people were doing that all over the street. It was kind of crazy to see the scenes. And then we were at a place watching it. And, like, as soon as that ending happened, like, Dodgers win. Like, I thought the town, because it was a Saturday night. I thought the town, it's Toronto. Like, it would still kind of, like, the place.

Well, they're so used to losing. You'd think, like, any, the quote now, we lost again. no one was out as like a ghost town just a bunch of crackheads on the street laying around everywhere but that was it like i i thought how old he was out front doing doing hits on everyone's social medias that guy's a legend but i thought it was like they were so depressed after that and i feel like the town is tired now a little bit and the leaps season hasn't really started yet until tonight well the leaps which is by the way which is awesome like they're lucky they're lucky these well they're lucky because of the game in

columbus then they fucking went to philly and they fucking smoked philly um we'll get i mean we'll get to the leaps in a bit but kind of a perfect game now to set the table it's like they've they're always 500 after about 12 to 15 games to start the year of the leaps now all of a sudden all the focuses on them they got um amazon prime monday night hockey tonight and sidney fucking crosbie's in town and the penguins army for the first time in quite some time are extremely relevant and people think that there is a possibility

that they could actually make playoffs. Yes, who else is in town too. Kevin fucking Hayes, who I saw. No? Who? Busy boy, which means Pittsburgh's going to wax Toronto. So all you betters out there.

Oh, boys. For the pens. Boys, you just seen busy at the rink this morning. It was awesome. He has cowboy boots on. He's got his lead ambassador coat. And I'm like, I thought he would have had baseball cleats on.

He's got memes. boots. He stole Mimsie's boots. Mems he's got me on my cowboy kick. There's got to be a group chat of Leafs alumni. They're like, why the fuck does this guy have- Oh, they hate my guts. Dude, the best thing ever, though, was

he never played for us. The best thing ever, though, was seeing visit the rick this morning in Toronto, like, with his jacket on, he wheels in, with his to Keith's point, with his jacket on for the team he never

played for, well, the team that's there is the team that he has played. Well, they rooting their chance. I texted, I texted Hazy. It was too late. I go, I go tell everyone not to even fucking look at Biz. No one talked to him.

What do you mean? They were fucking dabbing me up like I was fucking Mario himself. Yeah, because they're so thankful. You're in town. They got a guarantee double. Yeah, it's a huge man. They're staying in the night. Yeah.

They were fucking talking to me like I own the team. Like I'm signing the fucking checks. Biz, how'd you like working the pregame skate? How'd you like being? in there it's different than being in the studio you know you're like in the action you're down low you're talking to baroube you're talking to dubus you're talking to the coaches he got the whole private time with everybody did i tell you what dubus did no he fucking shook my hand he squeezed it and he pulled me in and he says if you fucking talk about the gensel trade one more time on your

podcast i'm gonna fucking make that potato nose even bigger now get the fuck out of my face and And then he bag tapped me and walk away. I was like, hey, three years ago, you would have came. I was like, you better be careful with that hand. I got the gag ball. I'll roll with sparks now, bitch. I'll go all night with you, Kyle. He's like, oh, my God, this didn't even work.

So it was cool, though, because I was, first of all, to answer your question, it's awesome because you feel the energy. Secondly, you forget how much the game is advanced. and how big and fast these guys are and how much they can snap it around. Like the talent level is through the roof. And I was fortunate enough when I was down below where I came in, it just timed out, timed where all the Pittsburgh guys had just gotten there on the bus.

So I got to see Eric Carlson. I got to see Gino, who randomly, he's like, oh, he goes, you need to introduce me to Wayne Gretzky. I've never met Wayne Gretzky. I would have assumed. Really? Never. That's what he said.

obviously you got to talk to sit a little bit. So just getting to see the guys and seeing kind of the aura around the penguins with the new coaching staff and the energy, it seemed like there's a nice youth movement there at the perfect time. Yeah, I know. The question is, is it real?

Like, I don't know. Like, I'll tell you this, going into every game, I'm kind of like, what's going to happen? I'm kind of have that feeling. I don't know what's going to happen. And I'll say from my position with Josh gets off my partner calling the games and, you know, covering this team, it's been exciting. It's been like wildly exciting to games, which is like so different. Like, you know, it's back and forth

hockey. They're getting great goaltending. You know, they're scoring a bunch of goals. Like, they're outscoring their problems. They're getting saves above expected, whatever that stat is. And like, they're entertaining as hell to watch right now. Plus, they have like, you know, four four rookies in the lineup with she loves, Kindle, Brunick, this coiffin and up from the minors as well right now. And so we haven't had that in a long time here in Pittsburgh either with like some youth coming in here. So it's been pretty entertaining.

A great start to the season, 8, 3, and 2. You know, they're rolling pretty good. The power play second in the league. They're getting goal tending and they're flipping she loves Jari. She loves Jari. They each have a shutout. and the next game the other guy started is they're not just riding the guy which i think has been kind of good and to the point that you know biz i heard you talking about the coaching staff

and the guys you got to see here they have like dan muses like great guy humble good hardworking dude very serious but easy to deal with and talk to like just totally different and he's grinded to get where he's at all right like people like them people love them like i think the guys like him. I think he gets to their level. You know what I mean? He's not this massive figure. He's trying to, you know, find his own way and do his own thing. But I was talking to the PR people and even they were like, oh, he goes, everybody's amazing. Like the whole new coaches, not to say to people that weren't there is just when you get turnover, you never know what you're going to get. But they just said it's been like so enjoyable. The energy is, is just, it's like,

that's vital, man. It's very important to a team. And it's easy when it's going good. Yes. But at the same time, like a great mix, like Stutzy and Todd Nelson, like grizzled veteran guys that keep it loose and fun. And then you got Benino and Rich Clune, who are younger, newer guys, too, that are eager to be involved and work hard. So they've got a great mix and a great energy. And it started in camp, you know, it's Dan Mews is driving the ship. I'm surprised he still has a voice.

He's highly involved. But has an awesome, they all have so far a great energy and things are going good right now. they're off to, you know, a really good start. Like 10, it's been 10 years since I had to start like this. You know, so it's, it's been pretty fun and entertaining the cover. Like, the games have been good. Now, they did get waxed the other night by Winnipeg, who is like... Why was Sid walking down the tunnel, baseball batting his stick, throwing his helmet?

Set in the fucking tone, man. He's not going to accept losses like that. I know, I just missed what had happened right prior to that. I don't know, because that's definitely. the tunnel in Winnipeg that's not was that during that game i think it might have been the philly game when he got punted out of the game at the end that might be like an old video maybe he got kicked out of the shootout for that brawl they had in the battle of pennsylvania it might have been that so he's probably steamy hot you know sid he gets her going how about sid tied second in the league

and goals like nine goals how about gino 13 games two points off like leaving the league and points Have you had a chance to talk with Gino and like did like knowing it's his last year did he say I went all in on train this summer because he just like really wanted to leave his mark on this organization. Like what was the what what was his mentality coming in? He said that openly. He said that openly like he just wants to play. He wants to win like he wants like he's always been like he's always been happy to ride shotgun with Sid and just win. And to have a guy like that with that super. superpower like superstardom is amazing that they've had that relationship for so long where it's worked out like that and uh i think going into this year yeah it's it's 39 years old like he knows he knows but he says he feels good and he's going i just saw him in the elevator a bit ago and uh when we got back to the hotel and i was like hey fucking five grand for that chop on stanway i don't i'm like i don't mind i said like i don't mind that he was cross checking the

shit out of gino and then you know gino he just snaps but he made it count he made it count the wires yeah gino is one like i mean i feel like all russians they have this you push them to a certain brink and then it's like oh you're on your own now buddy gino's another specimen though like he you poke him and he gets angry he can go to another level and still he's always been a dirty player too and that's like a compliment like he yeah i love him i love it when he gets squirly i love it when he gets kind of crazy and like everyone's like oh gino sometimes takes bad penalties i'm like you think i kind of love that about him i kind of love that he lives on that edge and he's just like superstar but he's flying right now boys he is buzzing he's i don't think brazzo is going tonight but

him and manth on that second line i call them the mutant line they've been together since camp started and through preseason and they've found something brazzo's been good too so too bad they're missing him but yeah everything seemingly seems to be seems to be working out. It's crazy to see. And now you got Raquel out for an extended period of time. And they just pop Ben Kindle onto the first unit power play. He scores the other night in, uh, in Minnesota on the power play. He's got three goals for the 18 year old now. So, um, yeah, it's, it's been a, it's been a great start, exciting start and like kind of fun. And maybe unexpected. Yes. Oh, yeah. To everybody's surprise. But ride that bowl, baby. You get on, you wrap it in. You give the nod and

that thing fucking fucks you off. Put your shit kickers on and ride that motherfucker. You got that ostrich leather, boy? Get home there and buck, boy. Hey, but Army, how nice, like, obviously, I think a fresh voice coming in this year for Dan Muce and obviously a younger NHL head coach. I know he's been an assistant in the NHL, but, like, how nice do you think it is for him to have a guy like Sid where it's like, he's not going to be coming to walk and be like,

hey, guys, we've got a young coach, we can run the ship here. like he's a fucking guy he's first on the ice last on the ice he's leading by example so guess double part question it's like for for dan muses it's probably like holy fuck i get this guy who's basically another coach and even for the guys on the team it's like a new voice is huge after yeah you know a long time with sully yeah yeah 100% like the funniest thing with dan mews like he comes in like no one knew that he was in the conversation that kind of name you know multiple interviews, I think. Dubus selects him and then they start

to put their staff together. His first game on Home Ice, his first game was Mark Andre Fleury game. So he's got, he's got every Hall of Famer in the lineup. And then he's got this popping Hall of Famer. And Dan Musil, he's like, I'm standing behind the bench. And it was

fucking packed. Like, that's like, sold out, like, insane fans. It was awesome environment. He was like, he was like, holy shit. Like, that's my first time. behind the bench i got all this stuff going on with that atmosphere in there that was incredible so it's i think it's been i think it's been a well a great start one how do you get a better start than this as a new coach you know what i mean so uh but the experience of that and he talked about that

this morning too and his little scrum about having sit around and being around sit and like his answer was like man i'm so lucky to like be around that and see how he conducts himself every day see how he practices every day and like usually you probably get a coach that would go like yeah he's a leader he's the best he's this he delivers it in such humility and like at everyone's level that he's like one of you almost he has this like rapport or ability to talk that is not above the question not above anything and he puts himself in a spot like that we would all put ourselves in you know what I mean so it's it's it's refreshing it's different and it's it's been good and I I feel that around the team too and around the

rink. Like I go into the room now too and it's like it's like a kind of a different loose poppy vibe and you know the staff is loose and seemingly Sid's doing helicopter cocked. It's fucking awesome dude. That's what I saw when I were winning games like we

I was in the shower with them today they're like okay this is with the Leafs ambassador Jackie's like ah man I know I invited you in but yeah they coach isn't got a dog I started out. Hasey was hurt. Hazie's around now with the boys on road trips working his way back. And having him around has been huge too.

He's just such a beauty too. That's like the third line hasn't been great and they're still winning games. And when he comes back, like that's going to make that third line buzz. Yeah. For me, the third line is like the one line. Like every other line has this identity of what they are. The third line hasn't quite found that yet. And they've kind of pop bodies around, whether it's Hallander, Tomasino, who's ever in that spot.

in the lineup with Novak and Kindle, who's been in and out as well, just because he's 18. But that line for me hasn't like totally gelled yet. You're right. So maybe a spot that AZ can come in and settle that down. Get the big guy out there. Just get the wide base floating like this with a puck out weighed out here with his reach, just like dangling, skating around the ozone. Protecting and then dishing.

That's what he does. Um, since we're kind of on the Pittsburgh tire pump. element of the pod here. Obviously with Sid coming to Pittsburgh and this like rejuvenation of hockey there it set up a foundation for the next wave of a player like local player. And we're going to be getting Logan Cooley on here soon. Did you see him playing

coming up? Like did you see him in the minor hockey ranks or hear about him about how big of a phenom? I didn't. And I don't even know if he was with the Penn's elite like if he was like this insane standout guy, his cousin, L.J. Mooney, who's at Minnesota, drafted by Montreal just recently, was more talks about, I feel, in my mind. Now, I saw Cooley this summer, like, I'm my son's at an age where he gets, like, skating with, like, Trocheck and J.T. Miller and these guys. So I'm, I'm around these guys a lot, and Cooley's involved in that, and Mooney and these guys that are local,

John Gibson. So I've been able to see him in the summers. And, like, I'm blown away at at Cooley's like legs like he has McDavid kind of skating like pop pop up gone like he's just different he's got those bow legs like he can just get going

a puck on a string great shots he's the game well and I mean I don't I think that's a great contract because I don't think we've seen like the best of what he's actually going to be yet but I think he's like he kind of filled out this summer

got a little man body rolling like um but cool story because he was the first guy two boys to go from like Penn's elite, like the Crosby program where you get the equipment for free and you sign up from that to like what he is now, which is a really

cool story. That's unreal. Army, we appreciate it. I can't wait for this game tonight. Hey, Tristan, Jari's in the night too. Well, I was just going to bring him up. Can you tell Dovie to not bully me again? Go ahead.

Can you explain though something about Jari I saw? Did he recently have a kid? Was that the off season? Because there was a, maybe it was an article or something about it changed his mindset and he wasn't taking things home as much. And he's just kind of like a little perspective with a, you know, being a dad, because his numbers are ridiculous. And it's, it's hard not to say that might have something to do with it. Good for him. He feels different. Well, what they've done this year, like last year for him was a season to forget, right? It was

brutal. Like, just a really tough year for him. In a four, in a four nation season as well, where fuck he's he's not bad like he maybe could have cracked that lineup right like he's pretty good when he's on and i've seen him put like 15 game stretches together where he's been really good and kind of the horse through that this year coming in dan muses everyone's got a clean slate tristan jari you got a clean slate let's get to work good let's let's go and then what he's done is he's flip-flop goalies every single game she lobs got a shout out no you're not starting the next game jari's in jari gets a shut out no she lobs is in so she lobs is in so Shilov started last game and a loss.

He's in now. He's won four in a row. Maybe no matter what that helps because, like, hey, no matter what, I'm not playing next game. Like, let's go tonight. It doesn't matter what I do. Worry about my start. Yeah, worry about my start, get it done, and then go to the next, go, I'm not playing the next game. So no worries and just, like, leave it all hanging out there on the line.

But I think, like, if you look at the stats of Shilov's and Jari, is the Penguins have been able to outscore some of their issues. and they're getting great goal-tending. I think they're, like, up there and those goals saved above expected or whatever that's that is. Like, they're real high. So they're getting some great quality outings from both guys, but Jari with a nice bounce back start,

no question. And do you think with the Olympics that he would be in the conversation? If you can keep this up, he's going to have to be, I would assume, right? Yeah. And you got Dubis. I mean, Duby's the GM.

I'll tell, hey, if he wins the Dubas, ball tonight. I'm officially on the Dubus train. I said it last part. They don't want you. They don't want you. I'm going to root from a distance, but I could be, I can be pro dubus. I've been the most back and

forth with that guy of any guy on the planet. I think I'm drinking the Kool-Aid now. If they could pull it off tonight in Toronto. And if you talk about the Gensel trade one more time, I'm going to be there. I'm going to be holding your arms back, cross-faced chicken wing, do be like huge,

wind up backhand or bag beam. All right. Fair enough. Fair enough. All right, Armdog. Thank you so much. The dubus ball. The dubus ball. Let's check it out tonight. What a guy. Before we bring on Logan Coley,

Before we do that, we have to talk to one of the brightest stars in the NHL, and we should probably bring him on right now.

Logan Coorree. He doesn't need any big parles with 80 million coming his way. Logan, what's up, buddy? How's it going? It's going great. It's going great. We were actually, I don't know if you could hear Colby Armstrong was on with us. He's from Pittsburgh.

His sons grew up in Pittsburgh. We were asking him if he kind of heard about you coming up. up and he said no he's like i didn't know much about him i'd heard about his cousin l j mooney were you uh were you a late bloomer were you always a stud growing up like how does army not know about you yeah kind of throwing some shade right there i know let him hear it let him hear it no but i mean i wouldn't say i was like like the biggest uh like i wasn't as fast or i think that when i went to the national team is kind of really when i started to take off and find my stride and just became a lot better but yeah i mean i think like i wasn't the worst player like i think

you know around pittsburgh there was still a little bit of a buzz but yeah i don't know i'm maybe got to talk to him privately about that one yeah army's dead to you now that's what uh declining his interviews what what what sparked your interest the most like did like obviously you said is your cousin who who was already playing hockey like the fact younger bit he's cousin he's cousin he's Because he's younger. Oh, is he? Okay. Well, like, Sid obviously came there and had a huge impact on not only the city, but obviously the hockey community.

Like, what was it that got you the most engaged in just like I want to, I want to direct all my time and energy to play in hockey? Yeah, I mean, I have two uncles that played Division I hockey too, one at Notre Dame, the other at Colorado College. I had two older brothers at the time that we're playing. And we were just kind of surround, like, that's all I kind of grown up. Like, we were a big hockey family. And then just watching my brothers, like, I'd always be at the rink, stick handling, little things like that. And then I got into the game, like Crosby's program, I was the first group that kind of

started that of, you know, he gives free equipment to younger kids and gives them the chance to, you know, learn the game and see if you like it or not. I just remember loving the game and kind of never looked back from there. And this summer it was kind of said that you filled out maybe a little bit, like took another step. you're still so young like did you notice that even on the ice throughout the summer like maybe a little half a step quicker or anything or were the workouts in the gym changed at all or is it just kind of like developing and getting a little older you're just getting stronger

naturally yeah i mean i think it's a little bit of both um you know i think my main focus is always trying to get faster like i think the game is so fast now and you know there's so many good skaters and, you know, obviously you need to be strong. Like I put on probably five, six, seven pounds. And, you know, I don't want to be like the guy that's like too heavy where, you know, you can't move too much. Like I think I found a weight where I'm at right now where I'm still strong and feel fast too. But for me, like each summer's my main focus is to continue to get faster and, you know, obviously maintain my weight. And when you, I mean, you said around the Pittsburgh area, you weren't the best. You were obviously better than what Army said you were,

but going to that national program, you look at that team. Like, every young stud that's in the NHL right now was on that team. Do you think that helped you a lot, like, even just practicing with those guys and, you know, comparing yourself to those guys, like, just to get better and better? Yeah, for sure. I mean, I think the development there is unbelievable. Like, our practices were so fun. Like, we'd, like, every drill was compete, like smaller area game. And, you know, at the time, we're all young kids trying to get drafted. Like, the practices were almost harder than the games. Like, guys, I honestly think competed harder in practice than we did in the games.

And I think just, you know, pushes you so much. Like we had Hudson, Gochier, you know, McGority, Howard now with the Islander, or Edmonton. So it's just, yeah, we had an unbelievable group, great coaching staff. And honestly, it helps your game so much going there. This roster, I'd never seen it, is insane. Yeah, they were pretty loaded for a few years there. Like even that Matthews Kachuk year where they had, like iron sharpens iron, right? So when you have this like age group where you just get lucky enough where there's so many good players,

it's just like you just continually elevate each other's play. I was going to go back to you talk about the speed and getting faster and faster. Like obviously that's done through the weight room and, you know, gaining leg strength. Any power skating in there or special things that you're doing on the ice in order? because you see the way that McDavid's able to gain speed through crossovers. That was kind of something like we'd never seen before. We've had an Alex Tuck on before where he said he worked with a power skater where he was able to get better at skating even with a puck on a stick.

So are you doing anything on the ice that's maybe different and revolutionary in order to gain more speed? Honestly, nothing like crazy on the ice. I think, you know, I switched to a trainer, Mark Gato's. He's with the Penguins now, actually. For the past two years, I've been with him, and I've done a lot of, like, stuff on the turf, dry land stuff, whether that's, you know, pushing the sled, pulling the sled, a lot of quick crossovers, little things like that. I feel like for me, that's what really makes me faster and get another step. You know, obviously I do a lot of skating in the summer, but I think where my speed really comes from is the dry land stuff.

And I just feel like it makes me a lot quicker. Like, I love doing that stuff. You know, it's good cardio. And I really think that, you know, has helped my game a lot. Get the pump. And I'm being told by our producer right now that you actually grew up a bigger Ovi fan than Sid fan. That's true. That's insane.

That's why Army hates you, I think. Actually, probably. Yeah, it was a big Ovi fan growing up. I just, I don't know what it was. Like, I think the capitals when I was growing up were always just so skilled, like, watching backstrom kuznats off like those guys were so fun to watch and um you know there's a lot of second round exits where i was disappointed but 2018 was a good year do you think like when me and wit first started in the nchel like the there was a handful of boston guys and i see that now in

pittsburg where you know you got you troch uh j t miller gibson your cousin who's going to be coming do you see like a momentum in the next 10 years where there's going to be tons and tons of guys from Pittsburgh? Yeah, definitely. I think there's, you know, there's a lot of guys, too, that, you know, are coming up, AHL guys, some college guys that, you know, are tearing it up right now, few on Penn State. And I just think we have such a great group. Like we have, like you said, Trochek, JT, those guys are, you know, we have an unbelievable skate in the summer. You know, there's a lot of compete. And I think it's only going to continue to grow. Like Pittsburgh is such a passionate at Sports City, and I think hockey's going to continue to really take off there.

Troach told me he used to have to hunt you down to pay for ice, and he saw the contract all the time. He said he's never paying for ice again. Yeah, he was all over me this summer about it. I wasn't signed yet, so that's funny. What do they charge per skate? What do they charge for guys? It's pretty expensive.

I forget what it was. He's never paid. He doesn't know. He's like, I don't know. Free. We had Ryan Smith on. And he was, we brought up your contract and the possible, and he was like, listen, as long as he wants to be here, we know he wants to be here, it'll get done. He couldn't give us the hint. It happened about eight hours later. But how long had your agent and him been discussing or the GM and stuff? And like, were you, was it important to you to get it done quicker rather than later and kind of get it out of the way and then just play the rest of the year out? Yeah, for sure. I mean, I always knew I wanted to be in Utah.

like I love it here. I love playing there. I love living there. Obviously, it's, you know, it's tough. Like, you want to do what's best for yourself, but, you know, you also want to win and do what's best for the team. And, you know, there's cap going up, little things like that that have a factor. But for me, it's just, you know, there's so much back and forth, and I was ready to just kind of get it over with. Like I said, I didn't want to get it over with just to get it over with like I wanted to be here. And I think once it gets done, you kind of get that off your back and allows you just to play and have fun. And early on the season, like I was thinking about it at a time,

like talking every day. And then once you're finally done with it, you could feel like you could just go out and play and do what you love to do. I think last time we got you on, you were with the coyotes. Like, from a player perspective, what was that whole transition like and how awesome was it to like have an owner like Ryan Smith

just like really say it's a fucking blank check? Whatever you guys need in order to be successful, we're going to do it. whether it's a new training facility, state-of-the-art this, state-of-the-art bat, the way you guys travel. So how easy did he make that transition, and have you guys felt the love in that sense? Yeah, he's been unbelievable. You know, right when we found out we're going to Arizona, like he came to Arizona.

We played Scottsdale National, I believe, and, you know, it was just right away, like, we golfed and then had a meeting after. He's like, whatever you guys need, like, I'm going to do it for you. and everything he's said, he's done it. And, you know, he's given us every opportunity to make sure we're a top team in the league that we get to the playoffs and then eventually win a Stanley Cup. And the new facility is unbelievable, like, just everything he's put in, how quick everything has, you know, come up to.

Like, I mean, last season, the place was even built yet, and now it's completely done. Like, it's crazy, all the hard work he's done to make sure we're going to be a team to hopefully one day won a Stanley Cup. Was it tough for you guys? Last year I know you're younger and probably a little easier, but even guys with families, like you're moving last minute, trying to get your family settled.

And you guys didn't have the best year last year, but this year you can, it looks like you guys were all settled in and just comfortable where you're living, comfortable on the ice. Yeah, definitely. I think, you know, right when you move, you're trying to figure out where to live.

And, you know, for me, like you said, it wasn't as tough because I don't have a, you know, a wife, kid or anything like that. But I couldn't imagine just, you know, everyone's kind of figure out where they're living, you know, trying to find out, you know, the best spots, all the things like that. But this year, it just seems a lot different. Like, guys are, you know, it's nice to know, like, this is where you're going to be. This is your home. You know where everything is now, what to expect and how to get around.

A little things like that that could affect you on the ice that, you know, it seems like guys are just playing freely now. And, you know, we have a great group, too. Like, we have brought in a ton of great guys, guys that have helped our team so much to get to that next level one guy i wanted to ask you about was dunther like you know i think it was bad dard who was telling me about him skating with him it's like you can't give him a bad pass he has the biggest wheelhouse of any guy in the fucking league like what's it like playing with a guy where you know when you slide in the puck that thing's more than likely going to end up in the back of the net yeah it's awesome he's an unbelievable player like actually one of the best shots i've ever seen um you know and he works so hard at it too like he's every day after practice he's

you know, ripping 100 pucks. And it's great playing with it. Like, he thinks the game really well. It's not just a shot. Like, he's fast, too. We like to play fast off the rush. And, yeah, anytime he's in the slot, you're looking for him. And, you know, we've kind of developed great chemistry so far over these past couple years. And I think it's only going to continue to get better. I got to ask about Paterka because he's made an immediate impact. Like, the one goal he scored when Ryan Smith's in the corner going nuts. They dealt a lot for him, but, like, the guy could score.

Like, did you know much about him? I don't know how often you'd played Buffalo in your first two seasons. And what has his game been like since he's arrived, at least personally, to you? Yeah, he's been great. Like, he's, again, super skilled. He can move, too. Like, I think, you know, not many people know, like, he's super fast, too. And he's, like, gone through two could absolutely rip the puck.

Like, you could get it to him anywhere. And, you know, it's probably going to be. to go in. But overall, I mean, us three, we've, you know, it's kind of cool, like we've jelled right away, just the way we're thinking the game. I mean, there's still a ton of work to kind of figure out where everyone likes to be, but I think so far, like, you know, it's been great having him here. Unbelievable player. I haven't played against Buffalo too much, just being in a different conference, but, you know, you hear a lot about him, and, you know, he's everything that people kind of say about him. When I was working with the Yotes, you know, Clayton Keller was

kind of in a similar situation as you, like, came in as a rookie, dominated. I believe he was, like, third and Calder voting. How much of an impact has he had on you? Because I just thought, like, the way that he handled himself as a professional and how he's continued to add to his bag, whether it's like a sport psychologist, the way that he trains, the way that he fuels his body, like, how much has that rubbed off on you and the rest of the group, like him being a leader like that and showing you guys the way. Yeah, he's unbelievable, like, so fun to watch.

You know, you see it all the time with social media. Like, he truly is the most underrated player in the league. Like, he needs to be talked about way more. It's kind of crazy that he's not. And he's so, like, I, you know, I remember being a little younger, just watching him and seeing what he does on the ice. Like, it's so cool. I try to, you know, honestly, mod on my game after him,

just the way he thinks the game, how smart he is with the puck. And he's a great leader, too. Like, I think as years kind of go by, like, he's continuing to get more vocal. You know, he may not be the loudest guy, but he bleeds by example with his hard work. Like, in practice, he competes so hard on the ice. Like, you know, he wants the puck. He demands the puck. And it's really cool to see.

Like, I love him as a player. And he's a great person, too. Yeah, I just love the fact that you guys have, you, you, Gunther and Peturca. And I feel like him, Schmaltzy and Hayton have that chemistry they've developed over the last, like, three, four years playing together where now you guys have this awesome one-two punch on the first two lines. And so I, you guys are one of the more exciting teams to watch in the league. You're in a crazy central division, but you guys are clawed right now. I think of probably the most underrated player in your team at this point now is though Tuske. You guys launch him.

You guys go on a seven-game rip. You guys must be loving the fucking foursie fucking mascot going crazy for the fans. Yeah, no, it was awesome. Right when you got announced one on a heater. But, yeah, it's cool. Like I think, you know, there's, seems like, like a ton of kids in the rink and you know they probably love seeing them

around and probably brings a lot more to the game so it's definitely cool to have them. I got Roeback last question quickly. Use code chicklets on rowback.com for generous 20% off your first purchase through the end of the week. CHIC L-E-T-S on R-H-B-A-C-K.com

Yeah, to be honest, not much. I think, you know, when it comes to contracts and stuff like that, you don't really kind of get involved with that. But I mean, he's, he's an unbelievable player, too. Like, I think just how smart he is with, like, positioning. And there's a lot of, like, little plays that go on notice, I feel like, and, like you said, him and Kells and, hey, it's like they have such an unbelievable chemistry to know where each other are on the ice. And, you know, he's an unbelievable guy, too, like, great in the locker room, hilarious. It's always making everyone laugh. But, I mean, he's had an unbelievable start to the season. I think he's maybe top five in points right now or maybe even higher, but he's been awesome. And, you know, definitely want to keep him around, that's for

sure. Who's the court jester? I mean, obviously he, like him and his brother are hilarious. Like, who, I feel like Dersie would be a funny guy in the locker? Spicy tuna. Spicy tuna for sure. Who, who's the true court jester? Like in the morning? Yeah, Jason Rudy. Yeah, I mean, we got a lot of great guys. Like, Ders is a guy that

you know, likes to run his mouth, get involved. You know, stir some things up in the locker room. But honestly, we have like such a close group. You know, I think that's why, again, we're having some success early on. It's just how close we are. Like, guys truly care about each other. Guys are always laugh and enjoying coming to the rink in such a long year like you need to mix in some fun every once in a while and um but yeah we got a great group and excited to see what we can do this

year i'm excited i'm actually going there boys i'm going to go to the delta center for the first time uh december 19th i'm going to be doing a nash cast i'm bringing heater there why guess what they're undefeated at home right now i know that's one thing that you do as an alumni I'm fucking going. Well, I'm fucking going. As an alumni, I veto it, biz. I speak for all alumni and guys on the team. You're not going.

If they somehow haven't lost at home by that time, like, you can't go. Cools, back me up. They might have lost an OT, but whatever. We're not giving you a rollback discount code unless you back me up, Cool. Drop, dropped one to Tampa last game. Oh, you guys don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. O.T. Wasn't an O.T? You don't even know what you're talking about.

No, not an O. Okay, bitch, you can go. You can go. I will see you December 19. And me and Tusky are going to have our horns out. All right. Thank you so much. Congratulations, dude.

Thank you. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me. I'm going to be sleeping on Cool's his couch when I'm there. I can't even get a fucking hotel room. What a kid, man. 80 sheets. All deserved.

And Army didn't even know who he was. If I was him, I'd fucking drive to Army's house. buy it for cash and kick him out. Oh, he doesn't live in that part of town. He's fucking. Still, I do it and have it no one live in it. Just like, Army, did you build this house?

Does it mean a lot to you? Yeah, I'm going to buy it, tear it right down. I'm putting in a rink right here. Guys, some other things from over the weekend. Matthew Schaefer is a complete freak. The youngest defenseman in the history of the National Hockey League to have two goals

in a game. And you guys know, it was Bobby Orr that had had that record prior. So, like, we are looking, he's got five goals. He's on pace, the on-paced thing, whatever. He's on-paced for over 30 goals. So, I mean, I actually saw a tweet, where is this, from Jason Greger that said, right at rookie NHL D-Men with 20 goals in the season. Brian Leach did it in 89.

Barry Beck got 22 and 78. Leach had 23 that year. and Dionne Finoff had 20 in 2006, so it's going to be like, if you have five already, like I could easily see him getting 20. And that win that the Islanders had, did you guys catch that? Oh, the bench looked awesome. Holy shit. Yeah, there it is right there.

So Matthew Schaeper already has five and 13 games played. I mean, that game, though, was completely nuts to me because you look at Columbus who, I had a fan reach out. We're going to get more into Columbus on Thursday. But they look pretty good, dude. They just have some, they have some, like, moments where their play lets up. And that was, like, the perfect example of it, right? Sunday on Long Island.

But I look at, like, the end of the game, dude, after they tied it up, okay? And Schaefer made a great play knocking the puck down, just throwing it to the net, kind of a wild bounce. But then the shift after on Holmstrom's goal, the Severson has it behind the net. You've got to watch the goalbiz. He's falling over. It looked like Lee kind of like. grabbed him. I don't think it was a penalty and just

chucks it up the middle. And next thing you know, it's like, and then I think Coil and, um, he went to Ryan Whitney's hockey school. Did he? It looks like he kicked it out to the middle. Was that his foot? It looked like it was on his stick and as he was falling. Maybe it wasn't on purpose. No. But then like, I think Monaghan and Coil are kind of

just like watching as, as, as Homestrom bangs it in. And the UBS arena, it was going. It's rocking now, man. You look good in there. And it's like all Schaefer kind of. Oh, 100%. The thing that I like about Schaefer, like even when Deion came in, like remember he was scoring bombs, like just ripping puck's like

Schaefer's first goal in that game, like it's just a seeing-eye smart shot. Like he knows where the screen is. He's putting it where the goal he can't see it. The second one obviously goes off a stick. It's not a great goal. But he's just getting the puck to the net, making smart plays. He's not trying to rip the puck through the net. He's just such a, he's so ahead of his.

time i feel like for his age that little simple plays that he makes during a game you're like okay that guy's been in the league for 10 years but no he's been in the league for 10 days it's fucking insane what do they call them sifters sifters send him through yeah little sifter merles invented that term did he sift oh that's right into through yeah yeah but also too like they have uh they have they have they have ball boogner a coach in the d in the island and i know like when um Bernsey in San Jose had him like burns he was like dude this guy is so good for me

offensively even defensively helping me out like he was raved about him and I know boogs like can get the best out of the defenseman because he was a stay-at-home demon but he knows what it takes offensively too so I think that's a great combination for both of them yeah um the other the other things that kind of caught my eye at least on Sunday was um that celebrini cider battle oh yeah that was a That went mega viral.

But pretty viral of two young studs. And Army said it on the group chat. It was a very Crosby-looking clip by Celebrini. We've said a lot that there are many comparisons kind of between like their body type, like how hard they play. The old, what is the saying, just the superstar grinder, the superstar fourth liner. And they were going back and forth. They both ended up in the box, I believe.

I think if you could like read lips, Celebrini's like it was a fucking battle, like Ciders giving it. to them, but those guys going back and forth, Detroit gets another win. They look awesome. That's Sandin, for anyone who enjoys offensive defensemen, Sandine Pelica on Detroit is so smooth and so fun to watch. I know we're talking about Schaefer. This is another rookie defenseman that it's different.

Schaefer's got that dynamic McKinnon style skating, and Sandine Pelica just floats out there. So I love watching that kid play. Detroit's been awesome. And then the other one... You know what that battle reminded me of? Sorry? Bizz with the puck. Yeah, Pronger and Crosby.

Like when Pronger was in Philly, when they used to battle in front of the net and like Sid would just fucking never back down. And for a young kid like Mac, like most cider's a huge man and he just did not back down. I fucking loved it out of them. Boys, one of my,

one of my new favorite things on this podcast is to bring surprises. And the fact that we're talking about, talking about Macklin Celebrini. Why not talk about the guy that protects him? Night in, night out. Welcome to the Spit and Chickles Podcast.

Ryan Reeves. Wow. I love Super Bowl. How are we doing? Long time, buddy. How you doing? Thanks for coming up. Yeah, business is just surprising us nowadays.

Yeah, he's a man in many surprises. Were you thinking of a working? Acting career now. I said, man, you, that commercial is getting outplayed. It's out of control. The ones banging on the on your door. Oh, the draft kings,

the crown is yours. Yeah, that's a big sponsor of what we're going to. That thing is everywhere. They're abusing it, like my, my Raya profile. All right, I'll tell them the tone down a little bit of me,

I don't know what channel you have it on. But, buddy, one of the reasons I wanted to get you on is we had a good laugh about this fantasy football league that you guys are running throughout the league. Like, on with that? Oh, yeah. I mean, when I got here, they said Quickey started a league with

eight teams. I mean, I love fantasy, so I was all over that. Okay. First, I think that's what they told us on their little bed interview they gave us. We are currently the only undefeated team, but I think we're about to eat a loss here unless Giovante Williams wants to run for 400. But, yeah, we got a nice squad. Have you on the running backs? nice nice what's it like seeing these two young kids will smith and and celebrini just doing their thing and that game at msg was i mean especially after they get interviewed by that lady it just seems like there was so much attention around the team and for them to show up the way they did that

was a pretty special night for those young bucks yeah i mean i said it before i got here those two kids are unbelievable like mac is he's so much better than some of these other young guys that get all the praise. He goes into the hard areas. He plays hard. He's in front of the net. You saw him with Cider yesterday. He's not afraid to muck it up. Him and Mac together are just, they're disgusting on that line.

So it's fun to watch. It's fun to watch these two grow. You know, I've only been here for two months, but to see that talent and what this organization is going to be is pretty cool. Did they legit just tell you if anyone goes near him, just kill them and we're okay with it? We'll figure out the legal battle.

I don't think they have to tell me that, I think. I think I know what I'm here for. Yeah. Yeah, like when you were called, you're traded there, you're like, I get it, I get it. Yeah, yeah. Well, they didn't call me like, Rebo, we need a couple goals, all right? We didn't score too many last year. Well, you did get one in your

first game and a scrap. Yeah. Hey, but I'm coming out hot here. I had to win over the fans. There's not a lot of love for seven five here over the last couple of years, so I had to win him over. Good. Have you noticed Worsowski's kids being better behaved in

like the family room after games after the threat that came from from papa bear well i i saw one missing after we won that first game so i think we got to find him but uh i haven't i haven't had the i haven't had the pleasure of meeting him he called he called denzel he couldn't get him so he got revo man on fire he'll find my kid unreal all right told you know he's just he's just a pat go ahead he's just a passionate guy he just he just wants to win just like everybody else. So maybe came out the wrong way, but everybody knew what he meant. I said it.

I love the move. I'm basically calling out the team. Like, what are you going to put up? What are you putting on the board? I'm putting up fucking blood money here. You guys step it up and get it done. Stop worrying about your goddamn fucking fantasy football team. Get us a dub here.

I will say, though, Revo, you look unreal and teal. Those jerseys are money. I love them. I like the black ones a lot, actually. those things are those things are nasty yeah but uh yeah the teal looks good that'll be going up on the wall when i retire have have the uh fans been showing up a little bit more obviously last year's tough you weren't there but now the excitement and celebrini just being such a big draw like are you seeing the atmosphere in there get better because you remember back in the day you're on the blues

and your other teams like going in there was a nightmare night so you you've seen what it can be is is it stepping it up a little bit yeah i mean it's not like what it was back then, like, you know, when I was in Vegas and that rivalry was, was heavy, you know, that place was, it was scary to come in there. And, you know, obviously they had, you know, cup contending teams those years. So, you know, I know they struggled a little last year. I think it's been getting a little bit better. But, you know, it's still loud in there. Even though they're not selling out, it's still loud. It's still a fun atmosphere to play in. So, you know, hopefully these kids can keep doing what they're doing. And we can keep rolling a little bit

here and, you know, the fans start coming back a little bit more. And R.A. had told us that the trip to New York involved the Broadway show and that you were the guy in charge of that. You were the one that's kind of organized it. Had you been to some prior and just wanted to get the boys together for that? I've only been to Book of Mormon. That was my seventh time going. I'm a big South Park fan. That shit kills me. Like everything South Park kills me. But when I heard about this Broadway show, I saw it in St. Louis the first time, the traveling one, and I left there, it was a night before

a game, I left there, my stomach, my mouth was killing me because I was laughing so hard. And then we were leaving to Winnipeg, like, a couple days later, and that traveling show happened to me going to Winnipeg. So I took my brother, and maybe my mom a couple days later, and I've seen it, you know, five times since.

But yeah, it was just a good way. It was the first long road trip, good way to get the boys together. We, yeah, we all went out there. It was a good time. Boys love it. So you say you like South Park, are you like up to date with episodes coming out because I had a buddy tell me I had to watch the 6-7 one they did one on 6-7 dude

Biz it is so fucking funny I don't I don't get like how are they making fun of 6-7 just how stupid it is dude they make fun of everything at the exact right time like they're it's incredible how like they're right there on top of like whatever's going on and this episode it just it was it was unreal I don't know if you'd seen it Revo

well they if you ever have you ever seen that documentary i think it's called six days or seven days to air where they show how they do it it's like you know it airs on wednesday they talk about the new episode on thursday they write friday saturday oh you guys all frozen on me no we can still hear you but that's okay yeah you look great well we can yeah okay uh i gotta pay my bills here um yeah and then it's like it's every week and you know they write Friday, Saturday, they submit it on Sunday, they get the notes back, or something like that. But, you know, the fact that they can do

that week and week out, I think there's some of the smartest people in the world. To take something that happens yesterday and then you have a cartoon out of it in a week is unbelievable. I know. But to answer your question, I've only seen the first episode of this season because I'm trying to find

the Charlie Kirk one, but they banned it. They took it down. And so I'm trying to watch them in order. I can't find it. Yeah, that was, yeah, that was obviously difficult timing. I heard that they had released one. For sure. But, like, but he had watched it and he, like, he didn't take himself too seriously

where he laughed at a lot of the things that they were. No, he said he loved it, which I'm surprised they took it down after he said that. So I'm hoping, I'm hoping once the temperature cools down a bit that, uh, that they'll release it. Yeah. But, um, so I, uh, this summer you had me cracking up, uh, you did that Samsung. ad where you came at me um could you see in your post career getting involved in media uh doing acting i mean you said you were a big fan of the book of mormand like could you see yourself putting yourself

out there like that more and more you know like i i bounce back and forth of what i want to do i think i think i'd have a hard time not being part of a team um you know like getting into coaching management is something that I guess would be at the top but at the same time I have a lot of fun doing these kind of interviews but I wouldn't want to be on like a panel where it's just got to be like oh you know they got to get the pucks in deep

and you know they got to get a little more net front like that's not me like I need to be able to talk freely and I got to be able to swear a little bit like that's more of me so I'm not sure I'm trying to buy I'm trying to earn one more contract here so I can you know

help this team a little bit bit more and get to a thousand games and then 922 right now buddy i was going to bring it up i think we mentioned it a few episodes ago that you had told the story like oh my god i played a hundred oh my god i just played my 200th game and it's just continued and i looked 78 away so i'm glad you brought that up because it's been incredible and i'm sure last year was like tough at times right and like now it must feel at least from my perspective like you just matter a little bit more to the sharks, right? Like, there's so many bodies in Toronto

and, like, you got these young guys, people aren't going to do shit to them with you out there. Like, is that a feeling you have as well? Yeah, you know, it's hard to, it's hard to describe, but I just feel like a little bit more myself here. You know, I think in Toronto, it's just a little more, a little more corporate.

Everything's a little more, you know, you got people hovering over you all the time. You know, like, you do an interview in Toronto and they're running down, like, hey, don't say this. It's like, well, then you do the interview. You know what? mean it's like here they don't come tell me what to do you know it's i just feel like there's i'm a little freer to be myself here and just a little more comfortable so um you know when you're a little more

comfortable you play better you have more fun and it's just how it is yeah no it's it yeah and like i feel like people were trying to get on you a little bit for like your your comments about the the marner situation and him asking you like what was it like playing in vegas as if though you were being a turn court towards the leave so i get sometimes it could be just a little bit too much and it's like like wit said it seems like you're kind of more of yourself and you've really jelled with with being a part of the sharks organization so it works for some people doesn't for others buddy and we just at the end of the day you just want guys to be happy yeah yeah i mean i'm i'm happy here like the guys are unbelievable we have a lot of fun together um you know

we're grinding through building you know building what we want to be a a playoff team and um you know I think we've got a good chance this year. I think you look at our last couple games. We've been playing really well against some good teams. Be Colorado the other day. You know, we've got to fix some things. We've just got to be a little more consistent. We've got to stay out of the box a little bit.

But, man, when we're playing well, we can keep up. My favorite, I'll go ahead. You want to go? Well, I was just going to ask about one guy because it's Celebrini Smith and, like, Mises drafted, but I watched one of the games. That Kourchev is nasty. He didn't do anything in Chicago last year And I was like

This guy's unbelievable He looks unbelievable out there He looked really good in camp Like I remember watching He was like god damn I don't I don't like Pay attention a lot to individual players But like I was like god damn

This guy's He's got some silky mess He's dancing guys And you know You look at him in the last couple games You know two goals the other day And he gets his chances He knows how to dance

So yeah We got some talent on this team Tof just knows how to score goals. It's unbelievable. You know, he just hasn't touched in front of the net. So, you know, we've got the pieces here for sure. We kind of basically asked what I was going to ask. I always like asking players, like San Jose is maybe not a team that's like watched

through the hockey world, maybe more so now that they have Celebrini and Smith. But who was one guy when you went there were just from watching his practice habits, seeing them in games where you're like, wow, this guy's way better than anybody gives them credit for. and maybe this is a guy who will even take another step and be eventually a superstar. Is there anyone on the team that else stands out to you? Well, I mean, I said that about celebrating. Because, again, like, I didn't, I don't, you know,

I watch him, I see him, I see his points, but like to see how hard he works and it's not all perimeter stuff. It's, it's in front of the net. It's in the corners. It's in practice. It's in games. Like, you know, to me, somebody's saying that Badaar is better than him is a joke. like he's he plays so much hard he plays the right way he plays you know in all three zones

i think i think i think celebrating is going to be a serious problem in this league and he already is but i think you know the next two three years he's going to be a serious serious problem he's got that sit in him a little bit is that you played with him sid too does he is he remind you of him yeah i mean you know when i played with sid he'd been you know much more established and you know it won cups and all that but um yeah i mean his work ethic and his skill for sure. Unreal.

Great. I'm being told right now to tell you and I love this idea by G we got Monday, chicklets, Friday, chicklets, Wednesday, game notes. Tuesday, Thursday, the Ryan Reeves show, you let us not. Got a hell of a ring to it. At any point in time

about getting on and having your own show within the chicklets world because it's entertaining every time you're on. I do like ask. Is that with the fellas? Whatever you want, but you just can't swear and you have to talk what the Toronto Maple Leafs every show. So I know you said you don't like being told what to say.

He's out. I got to get the pucks in deep. Lechay, boy. I mean, hey, I'm all for it. I love doing this shit with you with you guys. So you guys let me know what you want to do. And I'm sure I can hop on it a little more. You're always, it's nice to ask you, like, what are you watching right now?

Like, what do you do? I know fantasy football is a big thing, but, like, you got any shows for us because I know you got so much downtime. I know you got the family and stuff. But what's been going on? away from the rick uh i'm watching uh black rabbit right now i'm on the last episode of that uh really good short on the main screen i um and then i'm uh i've just been rolling through archer again i don't know if you guys seen that big cartoon guy oh yeah

archer i was one of the funniest shows you'll ever see it is it is it is diabolical i i had this tattoo artist where i would go get all my i mean he was a good artist i just picked the wrong ones to get like a scarecrow on my him. But he would always have Archer on. And I was like, oh, yeah, this is a very, like, witty. Like, they're just shitting on each other nonstop. That's all it is. He just, the main guy, he just shits on everybody nonstop. He's just drinking all the time. It's, it's hilarious. My brother had been telling me to do it for, oh, man, like five, six years. Like, man, just watch Archer, watch Archer. And for some reason, I don't know if it was the animation. I didn't

love it first. And then I started watching. I probably crushed all 14 seasons in a month. just getting no sleep no wonder you can play I don't sleep after it's I do all my damage after games so I don't sleep after games I'm usually up to like four in the morning so especially that late

oh dude it's I've seen sleep doctors I've seen all these people and like the only thing that works for me is ambient and I don't like ambient so I just grind out the the two three hours of sleep and go grind out

on the ice the next day no way so okay so what about like like breathing and meditate anything? I've done, I've done, I've, I've done, I've done, these guys just ballbussed. I can't say anything here, Rebo.

I need you to come on the podcast. You try breathing, closing your eyes. I'm so close to the screen right now, move back, motherfucker. I breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth. I listen to those, you know, I listen to one of those fucking, those guys who talk about, like, oh, there's a, there's a canoe and there's a, there's a chest in the canoe. And, like, as he's talking, I just start laughing He was like, what is this guy talking about?

Like, I'm trying to sleep. He's talking about a canoe that's drifting off to the middle of the sea. I was like, it just nothing works for me. I've done, I've done noise machines. I've done breathing techniques. I've done... The black noise bullshit drives me fucking mad. I listen to it's white noise, isn't it?

White noise. I see, I listen to brown noise. It's white for me, black noise. Well, white for you, brown for me. Yeah, I don't know what you're doing with the black noise. Come on, Dom. Sorry, Revo. I know you got the curls going, but come on.

It's a mix of black and white noise. Mix noise. Milato noise. What about nature sounds? Like waves crashing? I love that too, but it's just like, on regular days, I fall asleep to that. I use a brown noise. Sometimes on the road I listen to like ocean waves.

after games, it just doesn't work. Like, if I try and go to sleep at 2 o'clock, I won't fall asleep all night. Like, if I try and force it, I'll just be up all night. So I go, I usually, like, stay up until 3. I'll go to bed at 4, and I'll try and fall sleep, like, 4, 35, and get, like, 3 or 4 hours. But if I try and force it, I'm getting zero minutes.

Okay, this is a personal question. It won't be the rollback last question. Like, what if you have, like, what if you and the lady get a little frisky? doesn't do anything doesn't doesn't do anything damn he puts her to sleep with his action yeah she's just snoring next to me

then that's all happens wait I was Rebo does this mean that post practice after that the game day like you must have to shut her down right when you get home no not usually grind it yeah well yeah because the kids are usually home and my sons had

hockey every two three days my daughter's gymnastics twice a week so there's I'm at the I live at, like, a practice rink is Shark's Ice. Like, my kid plays and practice other. I'm at the rank more than at home now. How old is he? He's nine.

He made a travel team here. Yeah, he's buzzing. Does he love it? Oh, that's safe. Yeah, he's getting good. He's got big feet like me, so he, like, his crossing over isn't as good, but he's fast. He's got nasty mitts. I don't know where he gets these, these hands from, but he's a nice player.

That's all. I go up for practice. I didn't do the whole USA hockey, get on the bench thing. It's like a 16-hour course, and I'd only be able to do a couple games, so I wasn't about to do that. You're not a school guy. You'd rather watch a partner. I've got time for that.

Sorry, I can't watch your game. I'm searching for the Charlie Kirk South Park episode. You're probably more valuable in the crowd. Like, if the ref has a bad car or something, you probably just whistle, and you're like, you're like. No, I don't really yell from the crowd. That's not me. just on the glass with a shirt off just titty flexing

call another one call another one yeah but your son like getting to go in the room and like I'm sure he gets out on the ice at the end of practice or something once in a while like that as for a nine year old dude that is a dream come true I bet well so we we practice

at like whatever it is 12 or 1130 and then on Fridays he gets let out at 12 o'clock every day so he comes right to the rank and we'll skate for an hour hour and a half our goalie coach's son is on his team too so i'll take him out and i'll run drills with them it's fun honestly man i've so much fun working with him it's uh it's one of my favorite things to do is get on the ice with him and and watch how much better he gets every week like

he starts doing um like stuff that we work on on the ice he starts doing in games although sometimes he interprets it a little while we were working on a drill the other day where he you know crosses over and then i give him the puck and he instead of just like pushing the puck. He stick handling, crossing over at the same time. And I said, you know, you can gain speed and kind of be deceptive with defensemen this way. Well, he, he's in his head, it was

this is how you skate fast. So the other day, he was just crossing over back checking and he was going side to side. I was like, what the fuck are you doing, Doc? You told me to do that. You didn't understand what I was saying, but I was like, no, no, that's not, that's not how we skate at top speed. That was just like when you

have the puck and you're trying to make moves. I got, I got to articulate better than it all fucking rights, man. Hey, listen. No, no, he does. He listens well and he doesn't get frustrated on the ice. Like, if he can't do something, he keeps doing it, keeps doing it. And he takes things very well. Like, he started not, I critique him, and he didn't like that at first.

And now he's, he's over that hump where I say, listen, you got to change this. And he gets right to work with it. And it's, it's real fun to see. And you know, oh, go ahead, Gans. There's going to be a time where he, There's going to be a time where, like, if he's got sick mitts and he turns into a goal score, though, that he's going to be like, Dad, like, I know more of a goal score than you do. Oh, he's, he's well as way to that. Like, he's going to be a way better player than I was.

But, you know what, the thing is, like, when I, when I grew up, I'm taught low strides, like, you know, long, hard strides, right? Everything is now on your toes and choppy and everything is like there's a whole new science behind. I wasn't taught any of this stuff. So, like, all these kids, like, there's, you know, there's 14-year-old kids that are better than half these fucking NHL players now because they're just taught different. It's nuts. Oh, like, kind of like the McDavid crossover is, like, all of them are doing that

type of shit now? Yeah, well, everything is like, you know, when I was taught to go fast, everything was, you know, get low and you're like long, hard strides, right? And now, now I'm seeing these kids and, like, I was working with a skating coach in Toronto. And he's saying, you want all your weight on the front of your blade, and you you want to be completely upright and you want to be touching the ice as little as possible. Well, that's the exact opposite of how I was taught to go.

Yeah. Like the exact opposite. So, yeah. And it makes sense for sure. It makes sense, but that's just not how I was taught. And, like, you're not going to teach a 38-year-old, you know, how to skate differently 15, 16 years into his career. So I try and put it to work, and sometimes it happens.

Sometimes it doesn't. Go ahead, yes, sir. Is your son a kid that is able to, because, you know, the attention span on young kids now, is he able to, like, go to the games and watch them? Because I think that's so helpful for little kids to, like, actually sit and watch the game, not just the five-second highlights. No, the last, like, two years, he's really, like, sat down. He sits there and, you know, he yells at the raps.

He yells with the crowds. It's, he's starting to catch stuff on the ice. Like, my wife tells me all the time. He, like, he sees stuff. He's, you know, yelling at refs when there's a bad call. so he's uh his tension span has got a lot longer for games now that's awesome um i think when we had uh or it was yeah it was it was it was it was it landria who was taking shits in the young guys rooms of the sharks yeah but it was last year it was last year anybody's shitting in

anybody's room this year off the plane like what's not with revo on there not not shitting in my room i'll tell you that for free no chance you might be able to escape better than there would be repercussions for that what what's been like the funniest moment of the season reason for the boys, like what's been, other than maybe going to that book of Mormon, like, what have you guys done that has been awesome, like the highlight? You know, we haven't done them a lot. That was our first road trip, but unfortunately it was a back-to-back

in New York. We had the game day off and then a back-to-back and then to Minnie. We went to and we went to, I've been to Billy Sushi in Minneapolis. Oh, you think? That's our spot whenever we go there. That guy's a maniac. We missed Billy, though. He was out of town. I don't know, what a fucking place. Oh, Billy, he's got the American flag, the AK, I'm like, what is going on, right?

You ever, uh, you ever, uh, you ever lift the little flap in the private room back there? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He brought us, yeah. He brought us to this other, uh, he had like a socky room built. Yeah.

Last time we were there. Well, Billy's after dark is downstairs. Yeah, so there's Billy, that, that's the one downstairs or sorry. a sake room it was like a was it a Japanese whiskey room yeah it was sick it was it was in like a different part of the building even like a

private like nice new room with all sake and then they also had this underground restaurant there that also had sushi but they had other things on the menu that were special from the actual restaurant so Billy's got a lot going on and and

I'll be honest when he's there though by the time you're done the meal you're just exhausted because he just did a full stand-up routine for two hours. Got you every- And Socky everywhere. Like, it's a good thing he wasn't there when we were playing there because, man, there would have been shots going everywhere. And it's just like, it's not what the boys needed.

No. It's like basically cancel rookie party because we're having it tonight at dinner. Yeah, exactly. Oh, man. That's awesome. Well, Revo, I don't know what else you guys got. It's always good seeing your face, man. 9-22, you're less than 80 games away.

from hitting a thousand man and i can't think of another guy more deserving well maybe yance well thinking of like you sleeping on the massage table to where you out now i can't even imagine for you how different you are you know it's insane like just you know from coming to that thinking like the the first thought in my head when that happened was i will never see another nchel locker room again and then 16 seasons later chasing a thousand it's just it's hard to It's hard to believe that I actually made it this far. So, yeah, I'm hoping I get there. It'll be a cool feeling if I do.

But more than anything, I hope I can get another year with the sharks and help them build something here. You'll get there. But if you don't, we always got a spot for you on Jans's hat, the gargoyles. We got a pro team now. Oh, yeah? We would love to have you to get that room going. And I didn't know you were coming on.

Surprise, great move by Biz. and I just randomly had more Orlando Solar Bears coffee mug, and you spent a little time there. That's the difference. I did. That was a great time playing down there, too. Great time. Dude, thank you so much for coming on. We love catching up with you. And I

really hope at some point we have a Ryan Reeve show on the Chicklet's Network, but we'll let you grind out a thousand and then we'll talk again, all right, buddy. All right, you got a deal. I see, Reevo. Love you, Reevo. What a guy. Chris. A couple clicks for you,

buddy. No, you know, I do it for you guys, Because you're the best. I love you. And I knew you guys would enjoy getting Revo on. How about the smile on his face? Just like, you could tell how much it would mean to him to play a thousand games. And like he said, where he came from, like, I fucking hope he gets that, man. He deserves it.

The only smile bigger was when he was talking about not being on the Leafs anymore. The poor guy was stuck in the business team for all those years. Shut up! Another thing I noticed, and we've talked about them a lot, the ducks are... electric. They took the lead in the Pacific, which I mean, I don't love. That's the Oilers division, but they look amazing. And the best part was they thrashed Pasha's devils. And it was, I mean, Gauthier is the Kit Carter Gauthier is unreal. Leo Carlson has, I think, a seven game point streak now. There's two other McTavish and maybe Getslaff did it. Youngest players to do that

for Anaheim. Lecombe, go check out. Vitrano got his first of the year. Go look at the Lacombe assist, just an incredible reedy comes down the knee, like, makes this diving play to whack it over to Frankie V. So hopefully now he gets going, because they're playing this well without him even scoring yet. I think they probably penciled him in for 25 goals.

So he's a streaky score or two. So like when he gets hot, he's going to he'll be lighting the lamp at at ease, I think. And shut out to Cutter Goce. I mean, didn't give a flying fuck that the city of Philadelphia was going to turn on him and hate his guts. But boy, did he talk

his way into a great situation I know you're right getting over there with that young group like that is that is playing chess not checkers man that's seeing right exactly where your career trajectories go and he's saying I want to go play with that group I know I'm going to be

public enemy number one I mean I know I wouldn't want Jonesy and Breyer not liking me so I would stick around but that you got to have some hair on your nuts to fucking call that shot so hey a little more drama for our league but he's in a good spot and i agree with you wit like they went from being like very vanilla uh not fun to watch bad morale around the rink say what you want about the coach last year

but they got quinville now and he's got the boys playing hard and and this is going to be this is going to be a team in a few years that's going to be set up for like a 10 year run of sustained success making the playoffs being a pain in the ass in the west probably multiple conference finals at some point and after the McDavid era and after Vegas I mean Vegas always seems to do a good job of reloading but after Vegas is done

the Pacific Division is going to be Anaheim's and really two teams in California's division for a long time yeah it'll be crazy to see yeah seven eight years from now who knows if it's just San Jose Anaheim battling again I got lucky I got

to play in a duck shark series we beat those guys they won the president's trophy. We took them down as the eight seed, but just the rivalry was incredible. I know Anaheim and L.A. is a little bit more of like hated rivals, but if San Jose and Anaheim end up where we think they are, it'll be great for the game. Tonight, the Oilers are in St. Louis. Oilers are picking things up a little bit. After the Js lost the heartbreaker, Evan Bouchard, he picked up your country with a beautiful OCD winner. It's nice to see him do that, help both the rest of you guys in their healing.

I didn't know. Did you notice so the clip that we talked about, or I mentioned, of the Oilers fans watching the game seven with the game going on. McDavid after, I totally get it. He's like, it was kind of bizarre. Like, what did

you guys think of that? I think he definitely had them shut it off for the third, right? It seemed like he's got, he's got a remote on the bench. He definitely said, hey, Siri, shut the TV off. Like, he had had enough. And they did, and they won. Yeah, so I read the quote, and I'm like, ah, you know.

Do you want to see the clip right now? We have it. Yeah, I think it's better to see the clip because it comes off way better. Craig and play this game when they're showing the Jays game. When the fans are cheering Jays. That was really, really strange. Obviously, we're all on the Jays bandwagon, and everybody's wanting them to win, and it's so disappointing, obviously.

But strange, strange to have it on during the game, listening to the crowd was distracting for sure I'm glad they they shut it off there for the third Hey that is Oh sorry That is like the most normal

McDavid's like ever seen with the media He was just like I love it like What the fuck was that? Yeah Strange Are we not at a hockey game? But like his face was like

He said it polite It was strange But really his face is like Like what fucking moron okayed that Right? So yes we're seeing Now like That's true McDavid right there.

And I love that. I love that a lot. But I don't know why they would do that. And then on top of that, they thought they won. So the whole crowd's going crazy during the game. Obviously, they didn't. And it's just bringing bad juju. But thankfully, like you said, Evan Bouchard really lifted the country up and stopped

turning it over and actually put one in the back and then that. Now, he has had a couple games where it's been just as crazy. And I will say, like, I, we got here. he did when we were talking about his contract number. I no longer want to talk about that or care about that. I just want to give props to a guy who is now one of the more entertaining players to watch. It's a riverboat gambler. He doesn't give a flying fuck about regular season hockey.

He's not going to change his habits. He's still going to make the high risk play. And when other players are a little bit looser come regular season, yeah, sometimes those plays get picked off. But when everybody's wound up tight, because the. Stanley Cups on the line and his heartbeat is still at 45 beats per minute like a goddamn beluga whale in the middle of the ocean he just he gets him through he gets he's crazy called me the other night and I'm like what's up and he's like nothing he sounded all serious I'm like

what are you doing he's like nothing dude this bouchard guy he just amazes me I can't get over it this guy he doesn't give a fuck he's just and I'm like I know buddy I've been watching him just wait to the playoffs he just ups his game one of the best playoff defensemen of all time according to the numbers statistically offensively and business like I know it's just it's amazing he doesn't care he'll try

but that's the thing he doesn't up his game he's playing at a level right now where when the give a fuck meter in the heartbeat is so low when other players on the ice are stressed out about the moment and like oh my god we're playing it's like they're

a little bit more tense so those play he ends up getting away with all that stuff it's like the universe just opens up for him and all those little scene passes and it somehow gets through the triangle him swinging his stick and batting things out of the air like the the play he made on on byfield like those fucking things just tend to go his way because just give a fuck meter is so low and he's able to keep it there so if they if the blue jays pinch ran for bouchard on third base he would have walked home he would have started walking to home base before the guy even threw the ball. Yeah, like stealing home. Yeah, stealing home and then contact they win. Boop, boom, boom.

Blue the whale, dude, I am fucking dying. The oilers are in St. Louis tonight. The blues are, I don't know if you know, tied for dead last in the NHL with the flames. Like, I know Robert Thomas has missed four games. I think

he's back tonight. I don't know what the hell is going on there. Like, I did not see this coming at all. Gee, I was talking to G about the outline last night, and he got the bug in my ear. There was rumblings, Cairo to Montreal in the summer. Like, people, do you think that maybe if...

Well, the Canadians fans are doing, they're doing the rumblings of, like, everyone to Montreal. They're so good right now. And shout out the Canadians. They haven't slowed down. Cawfield's going to probably get 50 this year. Demadov scored another beauty the other night. I think an OT.

The Canadians are electric. But now this turns into We got some Habs fans They've been out of the mix They're nuts Completely insane people Passionate And now all of a sudden

I see Stam, they're saying Stamcoast is coming here Poor Stammer by the way too guys Playing center now I think he's got one point this year I think he's one and one Goal and an assist It's just like

And Going back to St. Louis If things continue as such I mean that was a name That was getting floated around out there I feel like he was taking a lot of strides towards, like, a better 200-foot game. He makes, like him at 8 million is a bargoon.

He is, he's like a, he's a Phil Kessel to your Stanley Cup winning team, right? He's a, he's your fifth, if he's your fifth, sixth highest paid forward, he could go on an absolute run in playoffs. He had a good year last year. I felt like him and Monty were really connecting when he came over and like, there was a lot of understanding, but if things continue with St. Louis, you would imagine they have to do something to rumble it up.

The Logan Mayu, Zach Bullduke swap is not looking good right now. No. That looks very bad. That very bad. Amazing too. Here's the thing. If the blues are at where they're at, Cairo's, it's 8.1. He's got five years

after this year. He's their leading score right now. I mean, eight points and 12 games. If they trade him, there has to be an opinion within that management that they don't love his personality or something, because at that number, why would you ever be trading him? Explain that to me. I think that right now, and probably a reason why they traded Bullduke is they thought that they had an influx of forwards and they had no D-Men on the depth chart.

So they maybe took that swing. And listen, Logan May you, like he was great in the end. A.HL and maybe with a few more years of seasoning, he turns into a great top four defensemen. I think with Tori Krug now gone and the fact that Perenko's got years left, but

I don't, I think that after they moved on from Petro, he, I think they realize like he's a, he's a three, four guy, right? And who else? They got Ledy. He's not getting any younger. I do like I like Fowler. He's a good player

older. So, they don't really have any young youth defensemen so maybe maybe if they were to look at the kairu move they're thinking we're going to get a good return because of his cap hit for how long it is and if they don't view him as a guy that they want as a foundational piece then that's not what they're seeing they got holloway up front they have robert thomas um is there anyone else you really like snuggerrood is really nice he's a young he just signed so all away do you say holloway Yeah, Holloway, yeah. So, yeah, I don't know.

But the reason why his name came up is because it came up this summer before last year in the turnaround, it was coming up. So it just always seems to be that name coming up. And who knows? It's just got to be a tough, like especially after last year with that Winnipeg series, like going into this year, they were like, okay, we're right there to make a move and just hasn't been what they wanted. I mean, G's asking right now, he says, if people say Monty made a great choice going to St. Louis because they have a brighter future, who would you rather be coaching right now? Or who has a better future in store, the Bruins or the Blues? I still look at the Blues a little bit. Now, I don't know a ton about all their prospects, but Boston, I mean, Boston just, they're one of my no watch teams.

So I don't know. I don't know. But I didn't see this coming from St. Louis. I didn't now Thomas coming back will make a big difference They always seem to go on some big run right Like last year they had to fire their coach Monty comes in they go on the run the year they won the cup They were in last place so maybe it's just early season

It's just it's getting it's getting late early The old saying if they don't figure things out here in the next month or so I'll say that Other things on here Markstrom re-signed in New Jersey Is Pasha on here I'm wondering how he feels about this he'll just say amazing.

Oh, he loves me. Here's what I don't like about it. I don't like the discrepancy and pay between him and, oh, I'm drawing a blank. Jake Allen. Jake Allen, where he's making a million and a half. I feel like given sometimes like the health situation of Markstrom, like he's relied on just as much.

You know, he's a guy that gets, he has to get put in there. And I don't know exactly what his numbers are compared to Markstrom. I think that getting a starting goalie at a $6 million tag isn't the worst thing either for a couple of extra years. I like the fact that they provide Markstrom security before what I would say is the biggest. It's going to be the biggest test of his career. This New Jersey team now is hitting the start of their window just like the Leafs did a couple years ago. Is Markstrom the guy, right?

I feel like this next three years is going to be the most pressure that he's ever faced. and the biggest expectation to where they kept saying we need a starting goalie we need a starting goalie while you went out and got one is he the guy now can pasha the coward answer that question is he done his morning coffee because he doesn't want that type of pressure in the no he had bad Wi-Fi and no mike so the guy is just it's just like ever since he's got this girlfriend he's barzal and us basically just he slept through it it's it's it's one o'clock in vancouver the guy's just cuddling with his girlfriend with no mic watching highlights of Jack Hughes

getting his 10th goal of the year and a 4-1 lost to the duck. So Pasha could take a fucking... He's probably so fucking lazy. He's probably soaking her on the couch right now. Just to soak, you know, when you just leave it in there, you don't even thrust. Yeah.

What up to him that. He plays in Utah. That's a great callback to one of our guests this show, Biz. I love that. Briz, one of your guys, one of your, I'd say your top three favorite player in the league,

Kiefer Sherwood, this guy one. He's second a lot of goals now. He has had, forget the amount of goals he has. He had a hatcherick Thursday. A couple of them are like full on like highlight real goals too. He literally, he works his cock off.

Like he works. He works. He works. He works. He goes and does his own dirty work. He'll go in the corner. He'll forecheck. He plays hard defensively. Yeah, maybe he's not setting guys up, but that's because he's the Cy Young winner, and he's going to score goals. And I would say that the best job on the planet right now would be being his agent,

because I think that they're going to have to buck up and pay him. Because right now he's on one of the best team-friendly deals throughout the entire league. He was so last year. I think that the management group in Nashville should be fucking punishing themselves for not keeping this guy around. The fact that they weren't willing to offer this guy a two, three-year deal at like $2 million is crazy talk. So he couldn't even get matched at one and a half. So he goes over to Vancouver and signs a two-year deal there. So he's playing on an absolute bargoon deal and he's going to end up signing probably like a six times six the way that he's playing.

He's a type of guy where he sets the tone night in, night out. He drags you into the fight. How can you watch that guy go over the boards and, not looking up and down the bench and saying, I want to fucking, I'm going to go play for that. I got to do more. I got to do more. I got to do more. And I just, that's part

of the team's identity right now. I, like I've said, maybe the points aren't, and maybe it's changed over the last week or so, but PD, like, I think that since he's had the hundred point season, the expectation is he's going to get back to that. But his compete level is way better laying out, blocking

shots. He's always been a pretty solid defensive player, but given a little bit more. I feel like Garland as an undersized guy, same thing, competes. So, yeah, I love this key for Sherwood. I've been singing his praises. Jeff really turned me on to him at the beginning of last year with just like, you know, how much he's following the Canucks. And ever since then, I've been a fan.

And you always got to have respect for guys who bring the lunch pail night and night out. And when they're fine in the back of the net, and it's all coming together. It's great. And we've talked about the story before, too. like he also has like a disease or an illness where he has to wear gloves like plastic gloves under his like under his gear because he has this like skin disease where like his skin will like come off and rub off because it's like oversensitive so dealing with like adversity in that regard and just kind of battling the odds and I just couldn't be happier for the guys so I hope to one point

get to talk to him and hear a story about how he battled up through the ranks and is now at around the age of 30 finally found like a permanent job in the NHL and soon going to be paid appropriately yeah well said and the Canucks man oh my Peterson's on pace on pace whatever can be ridiculous early he's on pace for like 50 points garland leads the team in scoring he's got a point per game and then it does not look good there there's six and seven and it's just kind of I don't know what the future in Vancouver holds man I think man I really have a feeling that and it sucks because especially in Canada this is amplified so much more where it's it's it's like the darnel thing the the the situation that PD was in at that

time and the pressure that the organization at least felt was let's sign him now that'll relieve stress and he'll get back to playing the way that he was where look right now now it i don't know if you're ever getting that player back i don't know if you're ever getting that i don't know if he's ever going to play up to those capabilities and then it it's always going to be the conversation year over year over year and i believe this is the first year that he's making 11 and a half so i don't know i don't know what what the future holds but i do really respect the way that he how hard he's playing and i think that that he leads the league in block shots for forwards which means he's bought in at least you got to respect respect there's been a lot of uh

there's been a lot of discussion that it was all merles's fault since he started the rumor he was going to the black hawks since he's never been the same so something else murals created right there just drama that that that elize peterson did not need uh we got to shut out the gargoyles they got their first dub of the season i believe they won two games in a row correct is that yeah two wins over, how do I say that? Tuol River? Toal River? Not exactly sure, but the gargoyles are buzzing.

Biz, you have peeking coming out somewhat soon. Can you give us it? I'm very excited for this because we talked to you. Remember that night we talked? Oh, wow. That's a hell of a little image right there. Unbelievable, Biz.

It looks like it should be on like a postcard. Maybe a postcard. Well, first of all, thank you guys for your support. It means the world. and I know you guys are both huge fans of Donnie, Corey, and then now Tyler, who we've added to the mix, and appreciate even the guys behind the scenes

because it's those three guys, and then there's a couple extra guys who are helping edit it. So much footage to go over. And we were supposed to release them like a couple weeks, if not close to a month apart, to allow people to absorb them because they're an hour long each. The plan was, is we were going to drop it on the Wednesday, but Internet Invitational,

originally dropped on that Monday, got bumped back to Tuesday because of the passing of beef. And just with how much popularity it's gained, and of course with beef passing, like, we didn't want to really take away from its moment. And, you know, Barstool, four play guys, Bob Doves have put so much energy into that for it to be what it's not only become already, but if you guys keep watching, like, you're going to be fucking blown away by how it all ends up shaken out. so we just wanted to let that breathe and you know we talked about it last podcast the fact that like beef passed and then he ends up being the guy to tee off first it just it really feels like this this golf tournament that they set up is just a really special thing that the company is done so we just figured let's back it up and everybody can enjoy it and it's actually going to have it in back to back weeks so we're going to release the first way first one Wednesday November 19th and then actually the following Tuesday the 25th and I've already seen the full edit on episode one absolutely love it episode two is even more jam-packed and we have that really emotional twist and ending on our first season so

just very grateful to be associated with those guys and gotten having to go live that and you know sometimes when you go and do things like that guys it puts a lot into perspective and hiking and that trip in general just really hit home for me and it was something that I really needed to fill up my soul and I really hope that people enjoy it and it and it and it um people who might not hike or have done it before or been passionate about it maybe it's something that you're introduced to and you do because you watch this and you're like ah maybe that's something i would enjoy and you go and fulfill it in that regard so uh as well as like the outdoors in general whether it's uh you know fly fishing fishing fishing on a boat just getting outside and really

living so uh we hope that it uh you guys enjoy it. Touching grass. Go touch some grass, baby. I don't do it enough. I wish I did it even more. How has G seen it already? I sent G the first cut of the first

episode. I would like to see that. I would love to see that. I think I sent it to the group chat that you're in. It's you, G, and Jans have gotten it. I remember when asking for it, but I don't remember getting it. Gee, correct me if I'm wrong. I think it was sent to that chat.

Yeah, he put it in that chat. And I'll be honest, like not just pumping his tires. It's one of the best things I ever seen. It's got like funny, humor, drama. Like, they're not just hiking, too. They're doing tons of different shit, at least in the first episode. So it's like, I give it the Grenelie guarantee. It's, it's, it's, oh, oh, Gigi special.

Okay, the X factor. The X factor. The X factor. It is pretty impressive that you, that you, that you were just late with Brazo. The guy's just lighting it up in Pittsburgh. So you knew you were just, early. I know puck. Well, the Leafs just signed Tyler Johnson. No way. Yeah, PTO. Wow. Let's go, baby. No, but I think you guys will really enjoy it and appreciate you guys if you have the time to go check it out. And Donnie does a lot of other amazing things with the company, whether it's live streams. He just did one with Rome where they went through New York City to all the way from like downtown to the Bronx or something like that. So he's done that one.

video that where he goes and sees the underground city in Vegas that thing's got close to 30 million views so it's going to launch on wanton's uh the wanton don youtube channel so appreciate you guys for bringing that up and showing support and uh that's all i got to say all right um what else is there gee anything else monday night prime tonight sidney crosbie in Toronto sold out building I'm going to be in attendance with Canadian Oldie. He's actually at the hotel in the lobby right now with memes, and I'm sending Oldie to give the boys hat and knackles on the way out to the ice tonight, and they're going to put him on Amazon Prime.

We're going to get, listen, you guys want to shit on Toronto, and the fact that we can't bring a championship home, well, I'll tell you what, that loss to the L.A. Dodgers ain't fucking stopping us. We're going to get the positive.

He gave Biz's ticket Wait on here I'm getting a message from Jeff telling me That peaking actually starts on On different dates now Jesus fucking Christ How was Tom Greens Tom I got hay fever from

Bailing hay that's why I'm all stuffed up here It sounds like I've been doing Woof for fucking four days Hey fever Wait a let me let me Let me clarify this Because I'm pretty sure the wanton Hey, the video of biz bailing hay looks like such a city slicker trying to be, look at it.

I know, I know. He's like, what is the, oh, yeah, uh, like, talk about, you got that the turtleneck on the farm going, like. He looks so out of place like he was on the power play back in the family. She goes, he's got his Rolex on. Yeah. It's a submariner. You're supposed to, it's a diving watch that you could print that thing to work. Yeah.

in the hay. Yeah. I'm trying to call the Wonton right now. I'm getting fucking, I hearted. Wantan sent me, he goes, Wednesday, November 19th and Tuesday, November 25th, and I hearted it. But do you think it's best to completely avoid?

Either way. I'll tell you what, this mental pretzel you're in is a bad sign for the Leafs going up against Crosby tonight. You're going to be in the building. And it is amazing. It truly is amazing that the Pittsburgh Penguins draft you and give you a start in the

NHL. You never sniff playing for the Leafs besides this waiver claim that we've heard about. And you're in attendance tonight just rooting against your Canadian captain and the team that started your whole life. If Mario Lemieux... He wore the jacket to morning skate and shoved it in their

face. If Mario Lemieux would have went to lunch with me when I was there as an 18 year old training camp when I invited him, then I would have considered... When I invited him. He did. He said, hey, LaMox, want to go a lunch. And he had a tea time. He had more important things. Well, guess what?

The Leafs, they've made me feel like I'm part of the family. Hey, speaking to Mario and Ace, did we talk about the Ace here? Okay, so we never talked about the Coop interview. I thought about that. Coop. Firing! Coop came off fire. I'll tell you, I don't know answer Carter,

and maybe I'm reading body language. He looked. Pissed. I don't know if he looked pissed. I actually love the nickname. I think he should just be like i called my fucking self-ace i don't give a shit i i love it yeah i might start calling myself the great one when wayne's not around i don't get why not we should all be more we should it's all about how you talk to yourself and how you you know you should just be like the gross one like

that could be yours yeah i'm the gross one hey i was right and who was laughing in the background when that was jacky redmond oh how about hey did you like my answer with i had your back and yours two, Jans. You did. You did. What was it? He goes, he goes, would the podcast be least affected by wits or

how did he structure the question? Would the podcast be more affected or less affected with Witt's absence or yours? And I said with mine, I said I'm a fourth line podcaster. I said Witt used to snap. I think it's all even. I think if we're all

if we lose one, we lose all, boy. That's how this thing rolls. That's how this thing rolls. We can't do it without all of us. And I'm not even talking about just us three. All the behind the scenes, guys, except for Pasha. All of us need to be present. Berta, Nick, G, fishy, memesy.

Jeff, Army, Mur, Reevo soon. Jeff's the Wizard of Oz. He doesn't even like to be mentioned, but we kind of mention them once in a while, too bad. So even though he's wrong about the date that the, so I was right, November, 19th and 25th peaking are coming out Wednesday November 19th and Tuesday November 25th so that's it I got the right dates and Coop how about him flipping the script on us and asking us all questions like he took the reins there just not to mention he owed you a little bit of a thank you because when we had him on a few weeks back in New York he was down in the dumps first thing

he said when we came on what's up coop everyone in this standings but us five in a row and that's a little bit of a chicklets bump because we we got the chicklets dump a lot where we really ruined winning streaks and careers and lives but that was a chicklet that was a chicklets bump for the lightning because they're ripping now you think after he was done with all the questions and chirping the guys I said fuck he's won three in a row he's getting a little cocky now he was he we weren't even allowed to put shoe laces in his shoes a week ago and now he's fuck just ripping us all on air chirping our nicknames Coop.

All right. Awesome show. Awesome. Catch up with you guys. Go Penguins. And Biz. I appreciate you making time for us today and your busy schedule, buddy. Go crush it tonight.

Big Leafs win. Check me and oldie and memesy out on the pre-show with Ryan Leslie. That's done at Real Sports. We'll be on at 630. That's when it kicks off. And then the Amazon on Prime. days guys and may day right may days yeah may days with ryan leslie if you have amazon prime you get this for free and another cool thing is ken miller um one of the gentlemen who's like one of the

top dogs at amazon and has like helped secure hockey with amazon 45 minutes before the broadcast start they start streaming it so if you're like a hardcore hockey fan and you want something that's a little bit therapeutic they air warm ups and they don't don't have any commentating on it. So you can listen to the guy's stick handling, the puck's hitting the crossbar. They change the camera angles. You could see the goalies warming up. And I found myself before the first game we did when it was Leif's Red Wings, where I had my headset on.

And I was just zoned in for 10 minutes watching these guys like zip pucks around and stuff. So pretty cool thing where like if you're that hardcore of a hockey fan and maybe you got a little time before the game, throw the streaming service on and watch I found it like especially if you have kids and you got oh
