Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Spittin' Chicklets listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. This episode of Spittin' Chicklets is brought to you by Death Wish. Death Wish is in theaters March 2nd, and I cannot wait to see it. Bruce Willis is back, and he's going to be kicking some major ass. If you're not familiar, it's a remake of the 1970s Death Wish that starred Charles Bronson as a man whose family is assaulted, and he goes out to seek revenge. And who better to go kick some ass than Bruce Willis?
Starting point is 00:00:33 How far would you go to protect your family? Go see Death Wish. You'll see how far Bruce Willis does it. Movie's looking great. Tons of action. You've got to see it in the big screen, man. I know we all like to watch stuff at home nowadays, but you got to go. You got to go see it in the theater.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Get the full immersive experience. You got Bruce Willis. I mean, come on. Die hard. Look who's talking. Pulp Fiction. One of the greats of our time. Elizabeth Shue.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Adventures in Babysitting. Cocktail. Vincent D'Onofrio. Well known from Full Metal Jacket. And we got Dean Norris from one of the greatest TV shows ever, Breaking Bad. Great cast.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Can't wait to see it myself. March 2nd, Death Wish. Be there. ¶¶ Thank you. Hello everybody, welcome to episode 67 of Spittin' Chitlets, brought to you by Bosco Sports. What up, what up? Ryan Whitney. What's going on? Hey, so Ricard Raquel, number 67. I was gonna go with...
Starting point is 00:02:23 Tricky Ricky Raquel, number 67. I was going to go with... Tricky Ricky, Raquel. He's nasty. I was going to go with Benoit Pouillot, but I didn't want to do a Canadian guy because America kicked Canada's ass last night. It'd be my goal. So I did a Swede. That's why I did a Swede. There you go.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Dude, an incredible game last night. It was awesome. Absolutely amazing game. One of the best hockey games I've ever seen. Suck it, Canada. Suck on that one. What a fucking game it was. I mean, the fucking drama.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Listen, we're not going to complain about the shooter. We obviously prefer overtime. No, I'm going to complain about it. All right, it's the Olympics. But, dude, the drama there. The U.S. goes up. They give up the lead. They tie it late on an absolute snipe.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Overtime. I mean, before the overtime, Canada almost scores with a minute left. America's newest hero, Maddie Rooney. Unbelievable. 20-year-old goalie. What grade is she in? Seriously, I said she was going to celebrate Pound and Shirley Temples all night. She looks like she's like the little
Starting point is 00:03:17 girl next door. And she's from Minnesota, right? I mean, that was a performance. Both goalies were phenomenal. We're sick. Phenomenal. Zabatos and Canada was amazing. I said, like? I mean, that was a performance. Both goalies were phenomenal. We're sick. Phenomenal. Zabatos and Kano was amazing. I said, like, you know, I was following the men's more closely, but you're just basically waiting for the gold medal
Starting point is 00:03:33 game. That's the only unfortunate thing that it's going to be them two. So I was working at NHL Network earlier this year and we did one of their, they did an exhibition series. I don't know the exact situation it was. I think they played seven or eight games, something don't know the exact situation it was. I think they played seven or eight games, something like that, leading up to the Olympics. So we did a game at NHL Network, did the intermission reports.
Starting point is 00:03:52 And Canada won late, I think in overtime. And they had won like seven in a row. USA won the first one and Canada whooped them the rest of them. So, you know, obviously I think Canada is probably the stronger team, right? You play a team that many times, you figure it out like you you know you get to the olympics it's one game so they played in the round robin part and i knew if the u.s won that game they're probably not winning the gold medal it's it's it's going to be too hard to beat that team twice let alone once so they lost the first one is like totally fine you know they're going to meet in the it's
Starting point is 00:04:22 they're they're meeting anyways it's not going to be a big deal um in terms of getting back to playing them again and that was like their best chance they'd lost the first one you knew it wasn't gonna be you know like oh we're not gonna beat these guys again which can get in your head like we barely beat them you know before in eight games we're not gonna beat them twice so they lose that first one they play well though and then what a game and then it was they got the first goal hillary knight by the way is a beast out there. She looks like Eric Lindros in front of the net with the sick tip. She's just bigger than everyone.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Straight out of the 1990s NHL Power Forward playbook. She looked like Kachaka on the clear on that. So they get the lead, right? And it's like, all right, well, this is perfect. This is all I need. You know Canada's coming back. But then fast forward, right? It's such a good game.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Fast forward to the shootout. Hillary Knight has the game on her stick, the gold medal on her stick if she scores i if there was live betting and you had time like in the middle of the show that's empty bank account that's like schmills on schmills on schmills on hillary knight burying that one she missed i'm like oh my god like what's you know what's gonna happen now like you're like oh like that felt like it was it that felt like it was the moment. And thank God she did miss in a way because we got to see one of the filthiest shootout moves.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Pavel Datsyuk was probably clapping in the Olympic Village watching that, giving her props because that was Datsyuk and Deke. It was sick. And the fact that you do it with that much on the line made it that special. Well, we saved it for the show.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Lamoureux, correct? Lamoureux, yeah. She was a twin sister on the team. It's pretty cool. I personally, I mean, I know Peter Forsberg's goal back when Sweden beat Canada. What was that? 94, the hammer. Now, that became a postage stamp.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Iconical. I mean, I think it might have been a better goal. I think it might have been a better goal. I mean, we hadn't seen Forsberg do that before, but I don't know, man. I jumped out of my fucking seat watching that last night. I mean, she faked with the five-hole, so she bit, but she still was, you know, it wasn't the play, and then she faked, so the goalie went to her right. I mean, and she still almost made it to save.
Starting point is 00:06:19 That was a great play-by-play. She faked, and the goalie went down, and then she faked, and then you went to the right. Yeah, and she basically bit the down, and then she faked, and then you went to the right. Yeah, and she basically bit the right, and then she fucking, Lambert went to her forehand, and she still almost made a save. No, she didn't sniff making the save. He had her so beat. He could have beat her.
Starting point is 00:06:36 The move was so good. The move was so good, the goalie was literally on her ass, on her back, like, oh my god, that girl still has the puck. Because she had such range in the width of taking it to her backhand like you see you're you know you're young you always practice like getting the puck out wide on stick handles she brought it as far as she could her backhand a lot of times it goes off your toe into the corner if i did it she dragged it back goalie's dead and it was Forsberg's, though, that was like the first time anyone ever saw the bring the goalie over and then one-hand it back. Barkov does it now so good. So to me, maybe it's just because that was – I was 11.
Starting point is 00:07:15 It was like peacocky. Nothing will ever beat that. But the fact that this was USA, and I mean that moves right there. Well, what I mean is obviously she scored the goal. But Zabito, she did get her. She still managed to get her stick from a goalie. But still managed to get her stick on the ice after getting put in a pretzel seven times. And still, I thought, like, I mean, I was like, fuck, she's going to make this fucking save. But I had never, like, to that level, the balls to pull, the courage, the audacity, I guess, whatever word you want to use.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Just like, just. Yeah, the jock straps. I mean, do women wear cups? I believe they wear pelvic protectors. Okay, okay, I respect that. They got to protect their pelvis. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:07:54 I think that the way that she just had that much confidence to try it was the most impressive to me. You're thinking at that point, talk about trusting your abilities and what you've practiced your whole life. thinking at that point like talk about trusting your abilities and what you've practiced your whole life and speaking of like whole life uh did i tell the story of when i i scrimmaged against like the 98 women's olympic team i don't know if i ever told you like in high school we played against them like they you know they would come around and practice against like i think i don't even know if it was my my high school team but it was a group you played against like the girls in like a scrimmage and they weren't like very good you know we're in high school team, but it was a group you played against the girls in a scrimmage. And they weren't very good. We're in high school, but the game's gotten that much better
Starting point is 00:08:28 where I think now, what is it, 20 years? It's improved enough where it's like, this is pretty exciting. Before, I didn't really love watching it, but last night's game, I mean, that's really exciting. There's errors, and you talked about the skill level before we started. How skilled are they like they're really skilled it just doesn't happen at that high of a pace so when you get
Starting point is 00:08:49 used to watching a little slower pace but then the skills there it's just it made it an incredible tv the the women's hockey game and just you know women in hockey in general sloppy a little sometimes that's the thing you know what i thought last night i don't know if it was the the ice or like the pucks it's just i thought last night's I don't know if it was the ice or the pucks. I thought last night's game wasn't aesthetically the best game, like you're saying. There was some missed passes, whatever. Also nerves, right? At the beginning of the game, there's big-time nerves. Just the overall level of play, and just like women in America playing hockey,
Starting point is 00:09:18 I think back to you talking. I used to go to all my brother's games. We're going back 30, 35 years. And you would see maybe one girl on maybe every fourth town would have someone's little tomboy sister who was good. And, of course, once puberty hit, the boys would grow big. The boys would grow big. The boys would get big, hit puberty. The girls, whatever, they couldn't physically play with them anymore.
Starting point is 00:09:47 And now to go from that, having one girl on one random suburb team, to have it at this level, to skill on these women, it's amazing. And I don't know, man. It's not like you put it on. You know when you watch, whatever, I'll kick, we always pick on basketball. But when you put women's basketball on, it's just not as pleasing to watch as men's basketball. Yeah, but I don't even like watching men's basketball. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:11 But when you put women's ice hockey on, I have no issues at all. I enjoy it just as much as watching the guys. I think the skill is off the fucking charts. I actually went to the same high school as Callie Flanagan. Really? Yeah, Callie Flanagan on the U.S. women's team. And her freshman year, she was only at Burlington for a year and then went out to Lake Placid. But the most dominant women's high school player I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:10:30 She was a freshman? She was actually, if I'm not mistaken, she played while she was in eighth grade. And she was so dominant. I've never seen something like it. Well, so, yeah, I mean, the fact that there's that many girls playing is great now. I mean, it's only growing, too. It seems like it's getting more popular. I can't believe the fact that a lot of these girls are still playing college, too,
Starting point is 00:10:51 which shows that that's where... So you see that there's the end... Is it the women's NHL? WNHL? Yeah, NWF. So there's teams kind of all over, but, man, they haven't had any traction yet. I don't know if they really ever, ever will. But if this game can grow anything, it's going to help that.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Because, I mean, you've got to think there's plenty of girls out there who are going to want to play hockey even more right now after seeing that. That's basically what it's... I don't think it's going to lead into TV of the women's NHL. But it's just getting more girls playing. And then years later, you look, all right, maybe someday this is on TV. Out of all women's sports, do you think hockey has the best chance of succeeding and professionally at least no basketball already has yeah but i'm saying you know going forward um i don't know it's just
Starting point is 00:11:35 always going to be a tough selling people don't even watch the nhl if you look at like the real numbers like it's like i don't think it'll i mean i just can't picture it i hope i hope it i hope it does um i mean but you don't you don't have to be like I mean, I just can't picture it. I hope it does. I mean, but you don't have to be like on TV to necessarily be really successful. You could – I mean, the league's going right now. Let's see how it goes. Hopefully in five, ten years it's still around and doing well. But I think TV contract would be the most ideal.
Starting point is 00:11:58 I just don't know if that will ever happen. And then, you know, just – well, unfortunately the game was on very late, so probably not a lot of little girls watching. But it's not even about, you know, going pro or getting on TV later. It's like, okay, if you've got a daughter who wants to play hockey now, this opens up so many doors, like, you know, not only just having a competition and playing sports,
Starting point is 00:12:14 but you're talking college scholarships. I mean, I had a buddy whose daughter played at St. A's a few years ago because she was, you know, probably didn't get a partial scholarship because she was so good. Yeah, if you're saving money, you know, like, yeah, I remember I got a scholarship from my dad. so good. Yeah, if you're saving money, you know, like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:25 I remember I got a scholarship from my dad. He just saved us $200,000. It's incredible. It opens so many other doors for them that, you know, you might not be a pro hockey player, but you can go out and get a college degree for playing hockey. There are just so many good opportunities. And what's great, the irony in all of this is, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:46 we were shitting all over the NHL, oh, how are we going to show hockey to the world? Well, you couldn't have given a better example than what the women did last night. Yeah, it's not the NHL, but who cares? Like, anybody watching that game, I mean, you know, you had Steph Curry tweeting about it. Oh, Leslie Jones body bagging Pierre Maguire on thing.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Oh, by the way, we got our boy Mike Commodore. Commie's joining us. I think he wants to marry Leslie Jones. Is he definitely coming on? He's in Vegas, so we're not exactly sure. We hope so, but if not, you understand why Commie is. He's still in one. He hasn't slept, I bet. But it's just funny that What happened with that? Can you play that
Starting point is 00:13:20 Pierre clip? Okay, fuck, asshole. Why the fuck would you ask her that right now in the middle of a fucking game that she's playing right now? Thank you. Thank you for putting that
Starting point is 00:13:32 in her motherfucking head. You know what? Get your ass the fuck away from the hockey players. You know what? I swear to God. I swear to God. See, when I go,
Starting point is 00:13:42 y'all lose your fucking mind. What the fuck would you ask her that for? I mean, that's unreal. He's just crushing them. By the way, quickly, though, shout out to Canada. They hadn't lost a game since the 98 gold medal game in the Olympics, which is pretty incredible. They had to lose it last night.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I was happy. But what a run they went on. And I think their men, quickly into the men's Olympics, it's probably going to be them and Russia. When people are listening to this, I don't know if it'll be set, but Canada is playing Finland and Russia's playing... Who's Russia playing? Russia's playing Czech and Canada's playing Germany, sorry. Canada's playing Germany.
Starting point is 00:14:21 So I think it'll be Canada-Russia. That should be actually a good game too. In a Men's Olympics that hasn't been really much to watch, hasn't been that fun to watch, I think Canada-Russia in the gold medal game would be pretty cool. Yeah, that was a disappointment on all that you said on the men's side. You know, just the way they built that. We said it from the beginning.
Starting point is 00:14:38 I'm no builder of a team. I'm no GM. But we said bring – we interviewed Casey Middlestead and Brady Kachok. We're like, hey, maybe you'll get a call. Their three best players were the three college players. Troy Terry is filthy. He's a wizard. Anaheim has a gem with that kid.
Starting point is 00:14:56 The way he handles the puck is unreal. And Ryan Donato put on a show. I wonder when you'll see him in Boston, and I wonder when you'll see Terry in Anaheim. I don't know if they'll wait until their college season's end or they'll hop in right now, but that's going to be interesting. They'll both help out both clubs, I think. Of the 11 goals scored by U.S., the college players had part in nine of them.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah, so. That's crazy. And one other note, too, is that was Canada was trying to win their fifth straight gold medal. The women last night in America thwarted them. That's the second time a U.S. team has thwarted a team trying to win their fifth straight gold medal. The women last night in America thwarted them. That's the second time a U.S. team has thwarted a team trying to win their fifth gold medal because Russia was about to win their fifth back in 1980.
Starting point is 00:15:31 A couple of boys pulled off a little miracle. By the way, 38 years to the day. The ladies won. Pretty wild. There you go. The men's team, that's what it tweeted. No miracle needed on the hashtag. Let's not get carried away. I saw someone in the picture of that above. I'm like, that's what it tweeted. No miracle needed on the hashtag. Yeah, let's not get carried away. I saw someone's picture of that above.
Starting point is 00:15:48 I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, no, it's just a date thing. I think it's just that Team USA won a gold medal 38 years later. Yeah, I think people realize it was the miracle fact that doesn't thing. So unreal game last night. I can't get enough of that goal. The trade, meanwhile, moving to the NHL, I'm not even stoned today. I'm just fucking exhausted
Starting point is 00:16:07 because I stayed up. That's why I'm a little off. I am a little off. I think you're so tired that you're over. You're just wound up a little bit. Exactly. The game was up until 3 o'clock. You watched the medal stuff. It was adrenaline.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I was down on my bank. Jumping up and down celebrating last night yeah i i think that the as the trade sent trade deadline approaches um we're starting to get a little action right you saw you saw um tobias tobias tobias rider go to la along with scott wedgwood for uh is it darcy darcy campner he signed an extension with Arizona already. They're going to try to sign Ronta, I believe. You mentioned that. So, I mean, they're getting two goalies signed. That's good.
Starting point is 00:16:52 But L.A., you know, they tried to get Ryder to help out. But Kemper had been awesome for the Kings. So I think Quick started playing better. He had a good game in Buffalo. They won last week. And he's going to start building that. But he'd been struggling. So L.A. is looking to make a push. And that should be actually a good game in Buffalo. They won last week, and he's going to start building that, but he'd been struggling. So LA's
Starting point is 00:17:05 looking to make a push, and that should be actually a good help for them, I think, getting a forward like Ryder who can skate and help on the PK. So that's our first kind of taste of the trade action. We're hearing crazy stuff. We're hearing Carlson. We're hearing Ryan McDonough.
Starting point is 00:17:21 I think it was a pretty significant trade. It was Philly getting Peter Mrazek from Detroit for a couple of conditionals. Because I'll tell you, man, he's been one of the better goalies in the league for the last month and a couple of months. I know that Philly, well, we'll get to them in a second, but I think that could be a pretty big move for Philly going forward, man.
Starting point is 00:17:44 That's a guy who, you know, Detroit obviously hasn't done anything in the last couple of years. But he's a goalie who I think he's a pretty good goalie on a bad team. So it's going to be interesting what's going on forward. We're going to have, like I said, Kami. Oh, the insider. The insider. Pack your shit.
Starting point is 00:17:59 We're going to save a little for them. You hear, like, you know, there rumors that carlson could end up on the lightning like holy shit uh that team would be such a wagon but then you also hear what it would take to get him it's you're talking like two first round picks braden point um it could be even more stuff involved and then you start thinking like how much do you pay to get it get it get a superstar like that especially when you're on a team that's rolling. I wouldn't trade Braden Point. I really wouldn't. You try to get Carlson after a free agency year or maybe after this summer,
Starting point is 00:18:30 but with the team you have right now, I don't think you include him in something. He's an all-star this year. They have depth up front, but it's just the asking prices of these stars, and Ryan McDonough too, the asking price. You hear the Bruins are involved. You hear Toronto's involved. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:45 You can't expect to give that up for these players as good as they are and think you're still going to have the same team or even have the same team a couple years from now. It makes no sense to me, the asking price. That's why I think those guys won't be moved, the big dogs, unless the asking price goes down. If it doesn't, you wait until the draft
Starting point is 00:19:01 and see what happens then. But right now, what people want is just ridiculous. There won't be trades if that's the case. Yeah, and you know. With big, with stars, I'm saying. Collison's going to be making ridiculous money, too, wherever he ends up. And if he ever did end up in Tampa, you're talking, you know, Stamkos, Hedman, no, Maslakov. There's so many guys on the team.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Kucherov's decent. Tons of money, you know what I mean? I don't know if that's going to happen. What's that? No, I. Kucherov's decent. Tons of money, you know what I mean? I don't know if that's going to happen. What's that? No, I said Kucherov's decent, too. Yeah, Kucherov. That's the one. Again, I'm brain-fied city today.
Starting point is 00:19:31 He pulled off that move again the other night. Yeah, people are saying that he didn't mean to do that. He 100% meant it. I think Ray Ferraro tweeted. Our boy Ray said, Oh, what are you talking about? Do you mean to do that? Unless I had missed sarcasm in the tweet or whatever,
Starting point is 00:19:44 but that was 100% on purpose. Anyone with hands does. He went over the puck twice. I mean, the guy that good isn't going to just, like, miss the puck when he tried it. The amazing thing was it wasn't a shootout. It was actually in the game. And he's done it before.
Starting point is 00:19:55 He's still, yeah, he's done it. Usually he does it and he just, I think, what does he go to his forehand and leaves it? That one he actually looked like he was, like, over it. And you saw after the goal, he was disgusted with himself. Yeah, Holtby, yeah. He's like, are you fucking kidding me? Holtby's like, you know, that's like getting shown up almost.
Starting point is 00:20:11 I want to go smash that guy in the head with my goalie paddle. Oh, speaking of Tampa, do you see the picture we tweeted out from the check outside Twitter account of Andre Schuster's face? Oh, my God. Did you see that, Mikey? And what side? He was actually... He was responding
Starting point is 00:20:26 to a dirty hit on his teammate and the dude Wood on New Jersey and Wood just popped him right away. He actually broke his visor and that's what happened.
Starting point is 00:20:36 The visor, like, went into his face. What's a savage? Huh? What's a savage? Yeah, that was a pretty fucking nasty gas. Check that out, too.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Yeah, I mean, that was disgusting. Still nothing like Taylor Halls. I've shown you guys the picture. Maybe we could tweet it out. I wonder if Halsey would care. Shout out to Halsey, who's a legit MVP candidate, by the way. Maybe we can get him back on before the playoffs. He had some quotes, too.
Starting point is 00:20:57 He's dominating this year. They asked him about why he's having such a good year. He made a reference to basically there's accountability here. With? Oh, wasn't he? He's saying, my a good year. He made a reference to basically there's accountability here. Oh, wasn't there? He's saying, my coach is here. He goes, I've never had this kind of accountability before. Basically, it sounds like they just never sat him down
Starting point is 00:21:14 and talked to him when he was playing at Edmonton. That was what came through. Just a nice little shot over at Edmonton. Dude, well, we've got to give the Flyers some love. I know Philly's your favorite city, Witts, but, I mean, the tear they've gone on, they went from what we call Philadelphia no-man's land, and now they're three points back at Washington for the Metropolitan. I mean, they're pretty well locked into a playoff spot.
Starting point is 00:21:38 And what's ironic is their goaltenders haven't been doing – I mean, they've been doing the job, but Neupirth's the best save percentage at 9-1-5, Elliott 9-0-8. That's why they grabbed Mrazek for sure. Exactly. I mean, nobody talks about Voracek. I never hear people talking about Voracek. Did we ask Kami about him before on this podcast?
Starting point is 00:22:01 Because Kami's boys with him. Yeah, maybe early, one of his early appearances. Because I wouldn't mind getting another, I mean, if I don't remember it, I'm sure the listeners don't, but my memory's pathetic. So, Phillies, Vorechek's a big reason. Giroux's been sick this year. They got guys that, like other people, you know, that
Starting point is 00:22:17 Travis Konechny's real good. He's physical, like fast, young player. Couturier's having this season that nobody saw. He's like a great defensive center. He's got over 30 goals. Unreal. Point per game, pretty much. So they've had some offense. The guys just have these huge offensive years. Provorov on D. He's a nice, nice player, too.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Russian D-man. Can skate, move the puck. So, I mean, they've got some good players there that they've kind of turned around quick, too. So, you know, I think it wouldn't have been fair as the GM to not go out and get a goalie when, what's his name, got hurt.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Norvath got hurt. So you got to go get a goalie and show. Listen, guys, we're with you here. Now, Elliot, I think he's got good hockey in him. He's awesome in St. Louis, but last year Calgary was kind of, you know, he struggled a little bit. And this year he's been up and down. So they had to get Mrazek. So, you know, I don't like Philly.
Starting point is 00:23:06 I hate the place. But you got to give him credit when credit's due. Yeah, we got to give him daps. And we also have to give daps, once again, on the show. It seems to get old, maybe, but it really doesn't. Mike Amling. Huh? Oh, God. I had a nice win last night in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Six-round shootout, though. Sweating. Sweating bullets the whole time. But, you know, shootout, though. Sweating. Sweating bullets the whole time. But, you know, thank you, Chicago. Dude, Las Vegas Knights, with another fucking home stomping, beat up on Calgary last night to ensure that they will be the first team in any pro sport, first expansion team in any pro sport, to have a winning record in their first season, man. I know we talk about them a lot on the show, but what they've done is amazing. What they've done is
Starting point is 00:23:46 basically given reason for so many owners, let's say 30 of them or maybe 20, 27, to be furious. Like, why the fuck are you, is my team not as good as this team? This is their first year. Why has
Starting point is 00:24:01 my team been bad for 10 years? Or been bad for the last four years. So owners are probably like, what is going on? It also creates, I mean, the amount of people who probably are going to want the Seattle GM job. Like people are going to be like, holy fuck, you can get this good this quick. If these are going to be the rules in terms of getting guys in the expansion draft. So they're putting pressure on teams to not only play well now, but basically to figure it out in the future.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Because if you're Bill Foley, you're like, look at my team. It's our first year. Suck it. We're better than everyone else. This is unreal. So, I mean, will it last? Who knows? But you know that there's GMs feeling the pressure of like, oh, my God,
Starting point is 00:24:41 they're this good, and I've had seven years here. Like, what's going on with my team? So, it's an exciting story. It's not going to end. I'm still picking against them in the first round. I've made that clear that I don't think they can match up with another team for seven games. But we'll talk about that when the playoffs come. But still, it's an awesome story.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Yeah, it's good shit, man. It's just doesn't get old, man. I've been picking against them all year, too. And so, what do I know? I mean, if you've been betting them puck line at home You could probably build another casino out in Vegas Is Call Me calling He hasn't answered yet This is when you know
Starting point is 00:25:17 This is when you know a guy's a beauty We'll go to break But let me tell you If we don't get in touch with him I'll tell you how much of a beauty call me is. So we'll be right back, hopefully with him. If not, we can just talk about the maniac that Mr. N1 is himself. This interview is brought to you by OMAX.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Here on Spit and Chicklets, a lot of times we talk about things that aren't necessarily healthy for you, like drinking booze and eating bad food.

Starting point is 00:27:30 How annoying were those phone calls? I was ready to lose my mind. I ended up last night in Vegas. Literally, like, well, however long it takes for a hockey game. I was in there, in and out to the game, crushing drinks, getting in one at the game. And then I saw you guys would like a guest today, and I told you guys to call and keep calling until you woke me up. The first phone call I heard, the second one I got up and went to the bathroom, then the
Starting point is 00:27:54 third and fourth, I was ready to lose my mind. And then I looked and saw it was Grinnelli, so I'm like, oh, yeah, I told you guys to keep calling until they wake me up. You're like, all right, hold on, boys. Let me just go get a puke out. Let me puke quick, and I'll be ready to go. What hotel are you at, Kwame? What's that?
Starting point is 00:28:09 What hotel are you staying at out there? No, no. Oh. Yeah. You know what? It was big balling yesterday. So I was hanging out here in Scottsdale. I'm in Arizona right now.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Oh, okay. And a good buddy of mine that I golf with from Saskatchewan, Grant McGrath, treated himself to his own plane a few months ago. That's not a big deal, one bit. Yeah, so we literally, it was wheels up at 5.30
Starting point is 00:28:38 yesterday. Landed, gained an hour, landed an hour, so wheeled down at 5.30. Aaron, who used to work for the Wings, hooked me up with tickets. We went to the game, crushed drinks, and came home right after. What an NHL day that is. That just makes me, I love hearing that shit. We're going to be, the same thing in Scotland, just minus Vegas.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Did you play golf earlier in the day? No, I didn't yesterday. I went and beat some balls, though. Yeah, boy. Still got a couple early drinks. What did you think of that shootout winner, that goal? Which one? Did you get to watch the Women's Olympic, the gold medal game?
Starting point is 00:29:18 Yes, I did. You know what? Suck on that one, Commie. I was in one. I did. We were sitting in the private jet terminal and i saw that you know what i was actually uh so the kid my canadian friends will be pissed off uh you know what i was actually cheering for the united states of america i gotta
Starting point is 00:29:37 be honest i used to teach those lamoureux girls uh back when they were like fucking eight years old at the university of north dakota i was a freshman in college, and they would come to the hockey schools. So I have to admit, after the last couple of years, I really wanted to see them win a gold medal. So I was pumped. I definitely didn't teach Jocelyn that move at all, but I was happy for them, for sure. I know you said they were only eight or nine years old when you would teach them. By the way, that's pretty
Starting point is 00:30:05 awesome that you did. Did you see any sort of skill at that level that like, wow, these girls are unbelievable? Were they that good at that age already? Oh, no doubt about it. I mean, they were, like, literally, I was 18. I think they're, whatever the age difference is, I think they were like 9, 8 or 9.
Starting point is 00:30:22 They were hands down the best girls in camp, and there was a lot of them there. So I would move them in and put them in with the guys. And they were tenacious. You could tell right away. I was like, these girls are really, really good. I mean, it was awesome.
Starting point is 00:30:41 It was actually a pleasure to coach them. They were great. You didn't see the interview. Somebody actually knew, I don't know what reporter knew, that you coached them and asked, did Mike Commodore teach you that move? And she said no, and then she shotgunned a beer and said, no, he taught me how to do that.
Starting point is 00:30:59 It must have been Pierre. Did you see Pierre get a, did you see that, I saw you tweet that Pierre got roasted by that girl from Saturday Night Live. Oh my God, that was funny. Somebody sent me that on Twitter. I'm like, what is this? And I hit play and I literally...
Starting point is 00:31:14 I mean, I was in one last night, but I was like, there's tears coming out of my eyes. I listened to that video, I don't know, 25 times. That was like you as a large black woman. That was basically your soul inside her body. The tweet said, the insider just fell in love. Hashtag shit stain. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:34 So call me. I have a connection with that woman. Speaking of the insider, buddy, your phone's buzzing, isn't it? It's buzzing. Oh. I mean, I'm hearing stuff. It is. I'm hearing stuff through you. Every day the trade deadline gets closer. I know. I know. Are you ready for it or what? You got any big predictions?
Starting point is 00:31:53 Oh, man. You know what? I've actually really been the insider's been working hard this year. Really trying to, my goal is to get better every year. You have been. The first year, I got no trades right. Literally, I tried to trade everybody, and I got them all wrong.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Last year, it was looking like another repeat performance of zero, and right at the last second, I drilled that Curtis Lazar trade, and I broke that motherfucker, so I got one right. And you got no credit for that either. You didn't get any credit. I told everyone, I go, Commodore broke that Lazar blockbuster
Starting point is 00:32:23 trade. Commodore had it. Lazard for a fucking second rounder. Terrible trade, but I fucking broke that thing. You get no credit. This year, I got to get fucking two right. I got to get two. So I've been literally, I want to say, to be totally honest, I actually get some messages now, which is kind of funny, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:32:44 I get some guys reaching out that actually do. They'll be like, hey, Mike, I think this might happen. I'm like, good enough. Run it. I always tell people. I tell people within the hockey world, I'm like, hey, let me know if you hear anything. I'm not much of an insider or a newsbreaker, but let me know. They're like, yeah, yeah, no worries.
Starting point is 00:33:03 I'll let you know. And then every time something breaks, it's with a team that I knew friends on. I'm like, where the fuck were you? Did you not remember? So I'm definitely just getting the run around. I'm like, wait, you're going to go talk about it on a podcast. I'm not telling you shit.
Starting point is 00:33:18 It gets so protective about it. I got a few people that are like, I don't have it coming from everywhere either, definitely, but a couple people fire it out. Actually, I stick to the media a little bit. I can't reveal my sources because I don't want
Starting point is 00:33:34 to bury them. Never reveal a source. So you're the first person we've talked to that's been to a Vegas Golden Knights home game, I believe. What about the atmosphere? Is it that legit? Seriously?
Starting point is 00:33:49 No joke. I went in there. The rink is... It was... Honestly, it was fucking awesome. That's sick. Like, top notch. Like, the warm-up...
Starting point is 00:33:58 I'm not really a DJ guy. I don't go hang out in clubs anymore. I put my time in those fucking things. I can't dance and I can barely hear when it's fucking quiet out. So the clubs are not good for me. I need to be able to talk if I'm going to wheel anything. Yeah, you need your sense of humor to show you're not wheeling on looks. No.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Oh, fuck no. Fuck no. Me and you are pub guys. We're pub guys, Callie. That's right. We got to fucking run our mouths and hopefully we say something funny that attracts them back. But they have, like, literally the rink was, like, they had, like, a full-blown live DJ,
Starting point is 00:34:31 but with good tunes, like, pounding for fucking warm-up. I was watching warm-up, and, I mean, I couldn't give a shit, really. And I'm like, man, I'm fucking jacked up right now. I wish I was still playing. This is fucking awesome. I got to get out there. So, Kami. You got to go.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Just going back to the insider pack your shit talk. What do you think? Do you think, first off, Carlson goes this year? And if so, who do you think is the favorite to land them? Fuck. That's a good question. I have kind of been asking around about that. It's always tough with...
Starting point is 00:35:11 I think there's definitely a very good possibility, to be honest. I don't think... They're asking for so much, man. I know. That's the fucking thing. Were you ever on a... I'm sorry. Quickly.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Quickly. When you were on Carolina and you guys won the Cup, did you guys make a couple big deals? You went and got Recchi, right, before the deadline? Yeah, we went and got Recchi, and we went and got Doug Waite. And Doug Waite, okay. Now, when you guys traded for them, if I'm not correct, Pittsburgh just gave a draft pick and, like, Nicholas Norgren for Recchi.
Starting point is 00:35:41 I don't know what you got for Doug Waite, right? Just, like, something minor. Yeah, that's a fucking great memory yeah it was that and i think for doug wait it might have been a pick and then it might have been no you know what i think doug wait was for like maybe mike zigamanis and jesse boulerice okay do not quote me on that so jesse boulerice shout out the guy he was the guy who got kicked out of the OHL forever, I believe. Savage. But Collin, my point being is that you were on a cup-winning team that made some moves before the deadline, but you didn't fucking trade away a stud from your
Starting point is 00:36:16 team that year. They're saying Tampa would have to trade away Braden Point, I mentioned earlier. I just don't see a team making a deal for a superstar when you've got to give away the guy that's meant so much to you and your team so far this year that you plan on relying on to win the cup. You know what I mean? I couldn't agree more. Not only getting rid of a stud on your team,
Starting point is 00:36:37 I also am a big believer in the locker room, to be honest. And you start fucking around with that. I'm going to assume you're having, let's say, let's say I'm on the fucking Vegas Golden Knights. You're having a fucking great year. Everything's rolling. Fairytale year.
Starting point is 00:36:54 They thought they might be selling, I'm assuming, at the beginning of the year. Now they're like they might be buying. But you've got to be careful, like fucking unloading some dude. If he's a big part of your team, everything's going well, chances are he's a good guy, and chances are things are going well in the locker room, fucking unloading some dude. If he's a big part of your team, everything's going well, chances are he's a good guy, and chances are things are going well in the locker room, and you fuck with that, not only on the ice,
Starting point is 00:37:10 but the locker room part, too. I think there's, like, a big risk of fucking everything up. I completely agree with you. I mean, speaking of fucking everything up in Vegas, anything from the real deal James Neal game-breaker? I mean, he's getting paid this summer. I'm just wondering what's going to happen. Have you chatted with him at all?
Starting point is 00:37:29 I have chatted with him. Fuck, the real deal had the fucking flu. I don't know what the fuck's wrong with him. He missed the last two games. I fuck got there and he's not in warm-up. I texted him, I said, dude, where the fuck are you? Dude, he probably had the Giordano flu. He had the Calgary flu.
Starting point is 00:37:44 What a pussy. Yeah, you know what? All I know for sure, he doesn't tell me exactly what is going on, and I press him to, but I know he loves it in Vegas, and he wants to stay. So I think he's trying to stay. I think he would really, really like to. I don't know what the years are.
Starting point is 00:38:02 I mean, I don't know. What would you pay him? He's on a five for five. I'm going to guess he probably wants six for six. Would you sign him to that? I think I would. I mean, dude, he's 30 goals a year. The question is, he's going to want, I think he starts with a six money-wise,
Starting point is 00:38:19 and he's going to want seven years, you know? I don't know if he'll get it. I think he's turning, he's probably turning, what, 31 or 30? Maybe I'm off. He might not even be 30 yet. I think he's... Well, he'd be close. I mean, it's been in the league for 10 years, right? 10 or 11. I think he's 30.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Okay, so, I mean, that's... Yeah, it's... I think somebody gives him six times six around there. Maybe it's five years, but that's going to be a deal that you've just got to hope at the end of his career he's staying in Tom Brady's shape. He's keeping up. The real deal, James Neal, the game-breaker, who knows?
Starting point is 00:38:53 I mean, he's just a straight-up sniper. He is a fucking sniper, that guy. I do like watching it. He is a dirty motherfucker. I love it. I love him on my team. We'll get him on chicklets. Call me.
Starting point is 00:39:04 If you were the GM of Vegas, what would you do? Would you stand pat? I mean, would you sell off any pieces? I mean, you have to go for it. You're fucking first place overall in the league. You got to go for the cup. What do you do if you are the GM of the Vegas Golden Knights, call me? I would, oh, you fucking go for it for sure.
Starting point is 00:39:24 That's a no-brainer. You know what? Like, I would be very, Oh, you fucking go for it for sure. That's a no brainer. You know what? Like I, I would be very, very fucking careful. Even if like a guy like, let's say Neil, like for instance,
Starting point is 00:39:32 let's say, let's say they're trying to get a contract done right now. And fucking James wants whatever. Let's just throw a fucking insanely high number. James wants fucking seven years, 10 million bucks a year. And you're at sitting at six for six or whatever. And you can't get them done.
Starting point is 00:39:46 I mean, I guess you could trade them, right, and try and get something, but I think that fucks with everything. I would be very, very... I would look to add something. If there's a piece that I could... Like we talked about earlier, there's a piece I could add and get rid of one of those draft picks or something like that. Don't they have a fucking million
Starting point is 00:40:02 draft picks this year, too? Yeah, I don't know. They're in such a tough spot because you're right, they do have to go for it, but I mean, they can set themselves back big time if all of a sudden this year they're trading away like two or three first round picks or a couple first rounders, a couple second rounders. I mean, you know, and then if it does come to the case
Starting point is 00:40:22 where you lose James Neal for nothing, all of a sudden next year you're looking at like, are we actually going to go back to what we thought we were going to be this year? It's going to be interesting to see what happens because it's a huge question mark. Yeah, definitely. You know what? The more I think about it, I would fucking, you know what? It's been a fairytale fucking year there.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Everybody's having a fucking career year. I would fucking, unless there's something, unless you can get something you think you really need for fucking basically nothing, I would just fucking stand pat and just fucking let her buck. Fuck it. That's perfectly said. Well, dude, listen, we appreciate you calling in so much.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Give me what's on tap for today in Scottsdale. Oh, man, do you want me to be totally honest with you? Make me feel real bad. Is it a 36 day? No, it's not a 36 day. I am going to go... First off, I'm going to get a little bit
Starting point is 00:41:16 to eat if I can stomach it right now. I'm fucking hungover. And then I'm going to wander down to Whisper Rock. Yep, sauna. I'm going to warm up on the green a little bit, work on my stroke. Executive. I'm going to put 18 in me, try and keep it out of the bush. Hold on, are we boozing in this 18, or is this going to be a sober 18?
Starting point is 00:41:36 You know what? The first nine, I won't. Then I'll see the cart girl after nine. I'll have two doubles. I like to lean on them there. I'll have a couple doubles, and then I'll see how doubles if you'd like to lean on them there I'll have a couple doubles and then I'll see how the back goes and then it might be an emergency nine
Starting point is 00:41:49 and then I'm going to floor it Thursday night in Scottsdale it's pretty fucking good oh my god oh man it's going to be shitty out here I'm going to be changing diapers I love you buddy I miss you

I actually would have completely forgot because I don't answer a phone number that I don't have saved.
Starting point is 00:44:39 If it's just numbers, I have never answered one of them, never will. So Commie's probably like, I would have been like, who is this? And just kept deleting it.

Starting point is 00:45:35 I got that right. You know, sometimes the questions that you get the same ones over and over we've mentioned. Yeah. So, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:43 we'll do our best. We'll figure out how to maybe make it a little different if we can. And a quick shout out to your employer.

Starting point is 00:45:56 Yeah. All right. First question, Mikey. Fire away. All right. Joe ST asked, what is your favorite summer vacation spot? All right, Hamilton. Summer vacation.
Starting point is 00:46:09 I don't know. What's yours? Dorchester? Adams Village. I was going to say initially Nantucket because it's like being on a tropical island and somehow you're still in Massachusetts. But you know what? My sneaky summer getaway spot, now that I'm a little older and quiet and I don't get in one as much, love Vermont, man.
Starting point is 00:46:29 I love the fucking quiet serenity of New York. You go from the city to the country. Yeah. It's like I go to the same place every summer. It's a little lakeside cottage, perfect spot, far enough from civilization where you just go R&R. I love myself Vermont. Yeah, any time of year, but it's probably one of my favorite states.
Starting point is 00:46:50 I love Saratoga. That's where I ran into you once. The second time I met you, I think, was that – remember, you ran into me in Foley there. So it's a great – I mean, the track, once the track opens, it's the best place. My boy Matt Murley, who's on the show before, he is the legend up in Toga. He says when he retires finally from playing in every continent in the world that he will be living there in the summers. I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:47:13 My brother's bachelor party is there this year, opening weekend. So you go there. You bet that the race is all day. There's a sick golf course. Toga is the best. Bars are open until 4. I love it. But in terms of vacationinging um i i don't go
Starting point is 00:47:27 somewhere and ever like sit around like you're saying you just like like i i i can't sit for more than an hour so i go somewhere where i golf and then i'll go get up in the morning and i'll golf and then you know meet my wife or whoever hopefully you know the best is when you go with friends gotta go on vacation with other couples you can can hang out with your buddies. You go golf. Girls hang out, dinner at night. So that's my ideal vacation is somewhere I can golf. I love Nantucket. I don't really go away in the summer, to be honest with you, because, by the way, I hate when I say, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:47:56 I fucking hate when I say that because I'm being told that that sounds stupid because obviously I'm being honest when I'm talking. I hate when I do that. Sounds stupid because obviously I'm being honest when I'm talking. I hate when I do that. So I don't go away in the summer, though, because we have three nice months of weather in Massachusetts. So I like going away in the winter. Summer, it's finally nice here. I don't want to go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:48:15 I actually want to enjoy it. So summer, I'm sticking around here. Maybe a little Nantucket action. And winter, just somewhere warm with golf. Hawaii is the balls. What about you, Grinnelly? Countdown's begun. Fegali countdown has begun. Oh, I used to rip up Fegali. Me too, golf. Hawaii is the balls. What about you, Grinnelly? Countdown's begun. Fugawi countdown has begun. Oh, I used to rip up
Starting point is 00:48:28 Fugawi. Me too, man. It's so hot. You went? Oh, yeah. Fugawi. I didn't think it was around when you were partying age. I helped start the Fugawi. Yeah, I used to go to Nantucket a lot, all the time back when I was drinking a lot more and partying a lot more. I'm the old born married
Starting point is 00:48:44 guy now. But Nantucket's the blast. You're just saying, that's what's great about New England and Massachusetts is in the summertime, we don't have to go anywhere. We got great weather here. If you want the mountains, you go up to the mountains, you got the beaches. Everything's within fucking three hours tops around here. Yeah. The other nine months just blow.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Yeah, fall's great. Scottsdale actually is a sick place in the winter. I love it. Yeah, fall is great. So, yeah, I mean, that's what I'm looking at in terms of vacation. All right, boys. So, Single Dude in L.A. asked, who are the craziest partiers in the Olympic Village?
Starting point is 00:49:18 I mean, if you're really going to have them all rip it up and whatever, no one rips it up like hockey players. I mean, unless it's a team of nerds. If you have a bunch of good guys on a hockey team, they will out-drink pretty much everyone. I mean, they're going to party harder. They're going to be louder and probably funnier. So I got to go with them.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Now, I don't know if it's different in the Olympics. I don't know who really rips it up that hard. I think of downhill skiers maybe being insane just because of what they're doing. Any specific countries? Oh. Oh. Who drinks a shit? Swedes and Finns, I mean, they drink a lot.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Russians get loaded. Russians get loaded. Hey, shout out to the guy From Russia Who failed the drug test That was a curler I know See like What the fuck What the fuck
Starting point is 00:50:09 Yeah Like there's gonna be Like guys that are playing Like online gaming community Like now getting caught With steroids Like why are you Why are you using steroids
Starting point is 00:50:18 For curling Like you If anything You should crush beers I think that's what people do When they curl They don't take fucking roids Especially like
Starting point is 00:50:24 You're an Olympic athlete from Russia. After the documentary that come out, Icarus, your doping system has been exposed. Everyone knows it, and you still fucking do it to push a fucking rock down the ice. Makes zero sense whatsoever. So did we have one more, or was that it? We had one more.
Starting point is 00:50:42 I lost the name, but it's what is the weirdest thing a guest has ever done in your house? All right, Hamilton. Right, and that's right. The question didn't specify a Spittin' Chicklets guest, so we're going to take the liberty and say just any random nighttime guest. Oh, a guest in my house. I had a girl jump off my parents' balcony once,
Starting point is 00:50:58 split her head open, and got knocked unconscious. Really? That was the weirdest thing. Did she survive? She survived, yes. That's good. She did survive, but she started throwing up after. It was kind of a bad scene.
Starting point is 00:51:10 High school party. That's a really tough scene. I had a couple guests during my college days. I remember one in particular who threw up in my bed after we had fooling around a little bit. Something upset her stomach. That's disgusting. And I got up to go grab a drink, and I heard a little splat noise, and I'm like, did you just throw up in my bed?
Starting point is 00:51:32 She's like, uh-huh. I goes, come on, come on, come on. Like I was going to take her to the bathroom, and I fucking walked into the fucking door, and I was like, get out, and I fucking slammed the door. That's disgusting. You don't throw up in my bed. Oh, yeah, don't fuck with your bed. I would i i don't really i clean that story i'm trying i'm
Starting point is 00:51:51 trying to think i'm trying to think i can't think of like that i mean i don't want to really throw people under the bus either i don't have that many like crazy stories i remember the weirdest thing i ever did though being younger and we had this really nice tree in my front yard in the spring it would like it was pink it was like pink like whatever flowers or whatever it comes off a tree and one day i took an axe and i started chopping the tree down and my father came out and chucked me like 10 feet he's like what the fuck are you doing why you cutting down a tree in our front yard? And I remember like even at the time being like, why did I do that?
Starting point is 00:52:29 Why was I chopping that tree down? I still think like I don't know what. That was one of the weirdest things that I can remember happening at my house. George Washington ass motherfucker. Yeah, I don't know what was going on. All right. Oh, Brian Yandel, my good friend, Keith Yandel's brother, his son. He lived next to my parents in Scituate for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:52:46 They had houses side by side. And his son would come over all the time and see my father. He'd be like, hey, Big Dan. And so he would come over and take smashes. He was like six years old or seven years old. And he'd smash in my parents' toilet. And then one time he yelled out, Sue, you ran out of toilet paper. And she went in there and he'd taken all the toilet paper, wiped his ass. And then he'd used all the hand towels
Starting point is 00:53:05 and shoved them down the toilet too. So my mom was like, oh, you gotta go, Brian. We gotta get the plumber over. Oh my God. Classic little Yandel. Brian Yandel, of course,
Starting point is 00:53:14 his son smashing like that. A little legend. Thank God for like the baby wipes, man. That was a game changer. Hey, Sue, you ran out of toilet paper. All right, that wraps up weekly All Right Hamilton segment.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Anything going on? I haven't caught Black Panther. I haven't seen it yet, the movies. It's been making a gazillion dollars. Everybody's been raving about it. TV, I told you before the show, if you haven't caught Waco yet, based on the events in Waco 25 years ago when the government had a showdown with this crazy religious leader
Starting point is 00:53:48 and they ended up burning the house down, whatever. It was a wild story then, but it's an unbelievable miniseries right now. It's on Paramount Network, which used to be Spike. It has Taylor Kitsch, Mike Shannon, tremendous cast. I think you said you had it on the DVR. Yeah, I got to check that out. That's my recommendation It's a story that
Starting point is 00:54:06 You know if you Were young enough Taylor Kitsch is hot as shit too That's Riggins Exactly Definitely a man Handsome guy And he actually
Starting point is 00:54:13 He looks exactly like David Koresh He's been pulling Outstanding fucking performance And he's probably gonna get Some nominations But that's my My recommendation
Starting point is 00:54:22 If you're looking for Something to watch What do you guys got I haven't really I haven't really. I haven't been watching shows. I've been golf season's kind of in full swing. I watch a lot of that on the weekend, watch NHL.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I'm behind on the shows right now. But I'll catch up. I'm going down to Florida for a couple weeks, and I'll be watching shows there. Nice. I'm actually re-watching The Office right now. Oh, The Office is so. I remember I was playing on um the wilkes-barre scranton penguins when in the episode when michael skated and like buried the dude against and he had that jersey on i remember like oh that's because it was that year that i was there
Starting point is 00:54:55 that movie is i mean i'm sorry that show was so good and never gets old first or one of the first shows that got away from the laugh track and had like... The faux documentary style. I mean, I've never watched the one, the original from the BBC. I don't know if that... I'm assuming that'd be good too. It is. That's the original.
Starting point is 00:55:15 It's really funny. Is this not as good though? No, I'd say it's very much as good. Some think it's better. I put them basically on par, which is good because there have been so many shows that have come from England to America that have just been awful. Well, I'm sure some have gone there and been awful from here. I don't think they adapt
Starting point is 00:55:32 to them. They adapt to some of that. I think America adapts way more British stuff than we do. We won the women's gold medal, so fuck them. Fuck you, Great Britain. I just think that show the the non like because now i can't it's funny i can't watch shows i can't watch old seinfelds um and stuff
Starting point is 00:55:52 like you know certain shows that have like i don't know seinfeld's different it just kind of has like it's it hasn't aged well i don't think but like friends too the laugh tracks it's like so weird now like shows don't almost have them anymore. Do they? Do any shows? Maybe the cheesy ones on CBS and shit still do. I don't watch them. I don't think I watch one network television show anymore. When I say network, I mean ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox.
Starting point is 00:56:15 I like Modern Family, but I don't even know if that's still on. I think it jumped the shock a while ago. I watch it at 10.30 when it's on TBS or some shit. It's funny because you realize going to the office Going to the Office is great as that show, one of the great sitcoms of all time. It definitely struggles in like season seven, eight. Once Michael Scott left, I mean, you know, the James Spader character,
Starting point is 00:56:35 I thought he was terrible, Robert California there. Basically what I'm getting was the shelf lives on TV shows. And, you know, like you're talking about Martin Family. I loved that show at the beginning. And it just starts repeating itself. You just start jumping the shock. Like Oren Hamilton a little bit. They keep making money.
Starting point is 00:56:55 So that's all that really matters. That's why the fucking Simpsons is still in the air. What was I going to say? God damn it. I had something else to say. And it just went out of my mind. Not that dummy. No.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Okay. Oh, no. Yeah, we're not even talking about Ratport. That guy was a Muppet. What do you think? All right. I think that's it. I think that's all I got.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Fuck, I had something else. By the way, shout out to Frankie Borelli. Like, when you call Bastu Radio and they play the theme song from the Muppet show
Starting point is 00:57:24 the other day. Oh, that kid. He is brilliant. Shout out to Frankie. Brilliant? When you call Bastu Radio and they play the theme song from the Muppet Show. Oh, that kid. He is brilliant. Shout out to Frankie. Brilliant? For his musical choices. Frankie Borelli, I will not allow you to call him brilliant. For his music selections on Bastu Radio. He does some good work.
Starting point is 00:57:37 He fucking does me so dirty with that Muppets tune. I went into that place. I called Dave a Muppet. Now I'm the Muppet Oh my god, Pirelli He really can run your show when you call in You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to start calling in And just waiting and not telling them I'm calling
Starting point is 00:57:53 So I have to wait, like everyone just say it's Ryan They won't know and I'll get on but then he'll probably still Jam the Muppet song right when I start talking The theme music, it's great When I call they play the beginning of this Dropkick Murphys Like the shipping of the Boston which is hilarious Because I don't they play the beginning of this Dropkick Murphys, shipping up to Boston, which is hilarious because I don't think I've ever owned a Dropkick Murphys
Starting point is 00:58:09 CD in my life. It's funny, man. He does a great job with the music. What's impressive is he's so young and he knows fucking tunes from the 50s and 60s. What's impressive is that he is going to lose his mind when Tavares leaves the Islanders. Good luck with that one, Frankie. We'll check in on you
Starting point is 00:58:26 after that happens. Hopefully you're still able to come into work as your Islanders just fade into Bolivian, as they say in Barstool World. He'll be jumping off the fucking Queensborough Bridge. I'm pissed off. I can't remember what I was going to say, but it'll come back to me. We'll do an addendum. Alright, well, that should just about wrap up
Starting point is 00:58:41 Episode 6-7. Again, congrats to our lady ice hockey players from the United States. Tremendous job. We're all super proud of you. You did a great job bringing the gold medal home. Hopefully we'll do it again in a couple more years. Yeah, four years later, let's check it out. Have a great weekend, everybody.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Peace out, everybody. Thank you. God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans, white with foam, God bless America, my home sweet home.
