Ethan Bedowski is on remote and Rosie's not here. She is now officially dealing in a college football season, so have a safe flight there.

Have fun with her, Lucy. Send her back in one piece, please. Deals with Texas and Ohio State. A year ago was Go Texas Go Texas Go longhorns Yeah

Anyway a year ago A tragic accident resulted in the loss of Johnny and Matthew Goudreau And in their memory The National Hockey League And the Columbus Blue Jackets Are donating to the John and Matthew

Goddra Foundation Which supports youth hockey Now the Columbus Blue Jackets Are honoring their player numbers So $13,000 In honor of And $21,000 in honor of Matthew will be going to the foundation. The Calgary Flames also donating.

They've added their jersey numbers. That would be $34,000. That's going towards the foundation. So hopefully a lot more teams will chip in. And how about youth hockey in memory of Matthew and Johnny Goodt. Crazy that it's been a year. Yeah. Yeah, that was crazy.

It felt like yesterday. and it's in memory of them, hopefully that they get a lot more money for the foundation. Yes, sir. According to David Pignola, Matthew Cachuk already had his surgery. Yes. The injuries they sustained at Four Nations,

he has gotten it repaired via surgery, and that's going to mean that the Panthers are going to put them on long-term injured reserve to start the season for a second year in a row. It's probably going to be the last time they do that for anybody in the league, right? Well, it's going to be the last time that they can use LTIR as a, a salary cap crutch, but it probably won't be the last time somebody's still hurt from the playoffs and misses the beginning of the regular season, not with this Panthers team.

Yet USA hockey has him penciled in to play in the Olympics, according to general manager of the Olympic team, Bill Guerin. They are planning and expecting him to be available. Now, keep in mind, Panthers general manager, Bill Zito, and assistant general manager, Brett Peterson, is a part of the brain trust. They are. Garin actually said that he doesn't bother Billy too much about when's Mattie going to be back. We're not, they're expecting him to be back before the Olympics arrive, that he should be playing hockey already.

So hopefully we'll get a repeat of what we saw with Four Nations earlier this year because that was awesome. And I would love to see that on an Olympic stage. Although we won't see the fighting, though. Sorry, guys. The report is that Chucky will be back sometime around January is what they're expecting. That would give him about a month to prepare for the Olympics, which are in mid-February, or early February. They start February 6 this year. obviously the interesting thing for the Panthers from that standpoint is okay Evan Rodriguez can be on the roster

at least until January but then what happens once Kachuk comes off LTIR how are they going to manage the cap situation because the Panthers are over the cap are they banking on somebody else getting hurt and being able to keep Erod you know on the roster then but it'll be interesting to see how Bill Zito maneuvers either way whatever happens I trust him in Zito we trust right yes absolutely You know, I'm actually interested in seeing how Jeff Petrie plays. He's the newest addition to the Florida Panthers on a, he's a defenseman. So I'm actually interested how he ends up. If they targeted him, he's probably going to fit in.

Yeah, hopefully. He usually works out that way. All right. So what happened with Mitch Marner, David? So Mitch Marner spoke to our buddy, Mark Masters. He was speaking about his final days in Toronto. I'll go ahead and we can roll the sound and then we can just react to it afterwards because it's pretty gross. and then I get a phone call probably about five or so minutes after from I think it was my wife's father called me and goes I just want to let you know we've got people sending us screenshots of a guy posting your address online saying that if people want to come pay us a visit and say you know their goodbyes in a quotation way here's the address and it's a little tough obviously I mean we kind of dealt with it for the last two years in a way I mean the market's very passionate they love their team

I mean, I know it. I was born and raised there. I've been a part of the Leafs Nation for a long time. But, yeah, when your family safety comes into question, especially having a new son, I don't think it's acceptable. You know, having full-time security pretty much at your house for two weeks after the playoffs just to make sure no one's coming to the house. You know, also the safety wise are trying to walk your dog and your child.

So Mitch Moner got doxxed and received death threats. Wow. During the playoffs. Yeah. During and as soon as they were over. And this is a guy who born and raised in Toronto bled, white and blue. You know, arguably one of, if not, you know, not their best player, Austin Matthews, but certainly top, you know, he's great.

He's a core four guy. And he, they wanted to keep him. Now how's your team work in Toronto? You ran one of your best players out of town. He wanted nothing to do with sticking around. You're threatening his family. But it's okay. You got, you got Nicholas Roy.

You got Matthias Maselli. This is a great offseason Toronto. What are you guys doing? Like the most passionate fans in hockey. You ran one of your best players out of time. Good job. I've already said that the biggest divider in this world is politics, religion, and sports. It's just sports, man.

It's a player. It's an athlete playing on your favorite team. What are we doing? Why are we putting his address out there? And why are we threatening him and his family? for a game. It's terrible. It's terrible. It's terrible how it went down, Roy. And, you know, Elliot Freeman says this a lot on the 32 thoughts show.

He says that Marner should have gone down as the greatest Toronto-born Maple Leaf of all time. And the way that it's gone down since in his exit, I understand fans' frustration with the way he was playing. But, I mean, obviously, you know, to take it to this level is completely asinine. And just everything that's gone down since, it's really ugly. and I don't think things need to be ugly. It could have just been cordial and just, hey, it didn't work out here. It wasn't the right fit.

I'm going to go somewhere else and try and make it work somewhere else and be happy that way. So it's a bummer the way everything has gone down, to be honest with you. Cry frankly, that should have been off a lot of the week, but it's not. Wins and fails at a week.

My win of the week is a threat. rowback. I'm going back to December of 2001 because a game happened in Calgary that I loved

back then. I got reminded of it this week. There were 309 penalty minutes in this game, Roy. And the majority of them... Ducks Flames, yes. Ducks Flames, Jaguerre, it was like... Kahn's my trophy winner, John for Sebastian, Jaguer, even though he lost the final. The majority of the... Yeah, awesome. That was... We talk about... The Connor McDavid special. Talk to Brad Williams about that on the show. Oh. Who got ran for the flames? That was Mike Vernon. That was Mike Vernon. That was Mike Vernon.

Oh, bag with the flames. The second stint. This was, yes. That's a head of hair. Oh, my God. Did you see that hair line? So the final minute 25 saw, I think, 200-something penalty minutes. I mean, the names in this game. Bob Boogner. Rob Niedemey, Dave Lowry, Bob Boogner, Mike Vernon, Ruslin-S-S-Lay, all former Panthers.

Craig Barubi was in this game. Dan Bilesmo was in this game. Sergei Krivik Krasov, German T-Tob, Jeff. freezing, some of the best hockey names of our upbringing. Yomitita. Right? Like, this game had a little bit of everything. So definitely my win of the week, a throwback, but God, what fun. Wow.

Nobody on the bench at the end of the game. Literally, like one guy on each bench when the game ended. Wow. The smell on my face, man. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, this is a good one. Win on the week is Evan Rod Regis for as long as he was a Florida Panthers. But our winner the week is via Evan Roderges.

if you grow up a lot of sports like us, not like Ethan, you've known that at the end of these championships, they usually, yes, not you. Yes.

Oh, I know where you're going with this, right. I know what this is. They still do this to the end of the day. Yes.

Where are they, what are you going to do now? Going to Disney World. That's what Evan Rodriguez did. E. Rod and the family took the Stanley Cup to Disney World. Look at that. Chocolate milk.

Oh, they drink chocolate milk. I think they wash, they may wash the cup and put champagne in it. They, they stuff. it with Remy the Rat plush dolls

when they went to Epcot Center. Way to ruin my win of the week, David. Way to spoil it. Geez. Okay. Well, since the least. Fine. Fine.

What is your win of the week there? My win of the week piggybacking. Oh my God, couldn't find the word there. A pig and a pet. Piggy packing off of this. Erod put the Remy's in the cup

reminiscent of of course the Florida Panthers and the rats. Ratatouie. one of my favorite Pixar movies for sure. But I just, I love this. Like, this is so good. This is such a unique thing to do with the Stanley Cup. And the reason I love it so much is because imagine, like, okay, your cup day is usually

great for you, but imagine how great this Cup Day was for his kids. Yeah. Like, I just think that's so beautiful, you know, to have a Cup Day that's more about your kids than you. I mean, he's done it twice so he could make the second one more about his kids. But, yeah, that was really, really cool. All right, David, what's your fail of the week? My fail of the week, it's a little family non-love.

I don't know, the other day, Walt Kachuk, father of Matthew and Brady, went on... Oh, Keith Kachukuk, oh, look at this guy. Went on Instagram or social media and ranked his sons for NHL 26, and wasn't as kind as you might think, fellas. I'm going to have you assign some ratings to each of them for their video game ratings. So first we'll start with speed. What would you give them that at 100? Oh, no. Oh, man.

I'd say low 80s and being generous. Low 80s, mid-80s. What about agility? Well, they're slippery. Matthew's more slippery. He's trying to hedge his best fast or quick, but he's slippery with the puck. So I'd say 82 from Matthew, 80 for Brady. Really?

Fighting rating. Brady in mid-90s, Matthew, low 80s. That one makes sense. 99. Brady 90. All right. Do you know your NHL-94 rating work? They gave Chuckie on the hands, but no.

You don't take a guess? No. 55. He was 55 in NHL 94? He was rookie season. Do you know what your NHL weight rating is? That's the last one we were able to find. No.

85. Really? Yeah. Okay. You'd think that he'd be a little bit kinder to his kids, but I love the way that they razz each other in this family. It's very, it feels very hockey, so I'm here for it. So Big Walt, who wasn't as big as he was back in the NHO 94. The hair is certainly not big.

55. 55 overall rating. And every time that I played with Keith Kachuk in one of these video games, I guess shot up to like 90. I don't know if it was potential. If we're talking NHL 94, it's Jeremy Roanick. Yeah. Jeremy Roanick and Wayne Gretzty, and that's it.

Yeah, everybody played for the Blackhawks and the Kings. My fellow the week comes from the American Broadcasting Company. The national TV schedule for the NHL came out. It's officially been released. The usual suspects are up there. The Washington Capitals have 18 nationally. televised games and that's going to make sense because this is a swan song season for the great eight and also the red rings avalanche and bruns have 17 national games the stars

all is wild rangers penguins have 16 the black hawks panthers lightning and golden nights have 15 now 15 for the panthers i don't know if that's the most ever it might be i have no idea but one thing i do know zero games on a bc the defending back-to-back national, national champion, the defending back-to-back Stanley Cup champions have zero games on network television. You had to make room for your boy Crosby, you know. How dare you?

Yeah, they have to raise the banner at 5 p.m. because Crosby's just got to play the Rangers in prime time on opening night. It's ridiculous. I think I may have seen, I might be wrong about this. The Penguins might have six games on ABC. Yeah, that sounds about right. Oh, my good God. I don't understand this.

By the way, by the way, five Canadian teams are not going to be on ABC. Five. No, actually, no. I'm sorry. Five Canadian teams are not going to be on national TV in general in the United States. Five. I think I'm okay with that. The Jets? Just based off of the discrepancy in years leading up to it, yeah. The semifinalist in the Western Conference final, or the Western Conference, not on national TV. The flames are not on there. The Canucks are not on there. That's understandable. And I'm becoming team like the Canadians, not on there. The senators who are going to be a playoff team not on there.

That doesn't make any sense to me. Toronto, who might not make the playoffs, not on there. Yeah. Well, Toronto's going to be on there. We'll see.

To do just that It's the growth spurt tour It'll be in Beaumont, Texas In two weeks He'll be down here in Fort Lauderdale At the Park of Playhouse near the Baptist Iceplex In December, December 30th We gotta get tickets

Yeah, the Florida Panthers practice facility Is right across the street, Brad And I just recently found out That you played roller hockey I did Yeah How was the experience of learning that sport for you? It was

let's just say that I crushed a lot of dad's dreams just because I was a defenseman and when I played there was definitely some dads that like were like all right there yeah there I am there's definitely some

dads that were like my kid's going to go to the league and then they saw me steal the puck from their kid they're like well if they can't get around the dwarf I really have no hope so yeah crushed a lot of dad's dreams one a few championships and uh it was great it was great to be a little person in a sport where typically you don't find i mean you don't find dwarfs in a lot of sports but definitely not hockey

and even though we kind of allowed physical play in that league everyone knew not to touch me i don't know if it was like there was a respect thing i don't know if they thought if they hit me that i would just explode into candy sprinkles um i'm not sure no one hit me and no one hit me until day. One day a new kid came in and he thought, well, there's a little guy. I'm going to hit the little guy. And he did. And we had an enforcer on our team named Mike Cassis. And our coach, the great Doug Duxbury, just look. Yeah. Duxbury. Come on. For a hockey coach? Perfect. And he looked at Mike Cassis and he literally said, you know what to do. And the next shift, a 12-year-old Mike Cassis, who looked about 26, just leveled this kid, like, a big hit. And the parents of both sides were, like, about to, like, come to blows. And the coach of the opposing team stopped him and said, no, no, no. Our guy hit Brad.

He deserved it. Nice. Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that nobody in the crowd stuck up with you when you got checked? oh there was there was yeah there was a lot going on our side was definitely chirping over to their side all the parents were really upset uh my dad who was an attorney i'm pretty i'm pretty sure was trying to file a lawsuit at that point uh but yeah a but then once mike hit the hit the other kid then it exploded the opposing coach calmed it down and then after that uh we were we were back to even

and back to square one. And no one hit me again. So that's good. Was this in Anaheim, was this Southern California, that this coach named Duxbury was coaching a hockey team in Southern California? Yes. This was at a now, my childhood hockey rink is now at Goodwill. But at the time, it was called Stewart's Roller World.

And that was where I played in Fullerton, California. Stuart Silver was the owner who owned the Anaheim Bullfrogs, where if you remember the R.H.I, the Roller Hockey International League, the Anaheim Bullfrogs were a prominent team in that league. This was like 30 years ago, so I don't expect anyone to know that league. So you did a lot of roller hockey. Did you ever get on the ice? Yeah.

So one of the cool parts about living up in L.A. and doing stuff is there's a comedian ice hockey pickup league. Okay. Yeah. And I have played in it. it's awesome um uh bill burr plays in it um uh there's steve burn plays in it you guys need a goalie i'm sorry what you need a goalie yeah yeah um if you know one who who's not like swiss cheese like yourself then yeah sure yeah let's go if there's a qualifier yeah then i'm screwed well Dave just got back on

the ice we have a picture of uh both dave and i at the baptist iceplex uh we uh we're Getting the hockey did, Brad. Let's go. In the words of Chance the rapper, let's get that hockey. Yes. Okay. Yeah, let's go. Dude, that's great.

The best part about the Comedian League is that Vince Vaughn played one week. And Vince, I thought, you know, based on swingers, he grew up in Chicago. I thought Vince was going to be like an amazing player. kind of sucks but to be fair when he played he had had back surgery not far removed from that

so he was just getting out there trying to get some ability the best player is a comedian he's a crowdwork comic his name is Ian Bagg he's hilarious everyone should look up his stuff and he's the best player

so far that he can't play at full strength he has to kind of just glide out there and be like all right I'll humor I'll humor all you weekend Warriors I like it

I like the double G Yeah I'm a big fan of the double G Greg doesn't like that though Greg Cody doesn't like the double G Well at least it's not in a Greg You know It's on a bag

Instead of being the last name Yeah it's gonna be a Yeah So it's fine But I love playing hockey It's really great Roy how long have you been Getting out there

Just this year I did learn to play and that was a 12-week course I had gotten better skating I can actually stop now and that's awesome that is a big part of it yeah yeah that's a gigantic part of it

I can stop on my left skate but right skating no no but Dave over here Dave just put on his goalie pads for the first time in a good long time and got out of the LASCL surgery because of that he was injured so how did that feel?

Better than I thought it was going to I was the proper amount of sore when I got off the ice it wasn't like it's i was expecting to be hurting for a while but no it went it went pretty well yeah man that's a that's a that's a smell that i miss oh right i actually miss the the the the smell of sweaty pads that you air dry and uh your backyard or a balcony or something like that's a very familiar smell yeah the smell of a sweaty hockey locker room is very distinct and that like the the same way certain smells like just bring you back to your childhood that's the one that

for me, a smelly, hockey locker room. That is the smell of my childhood. I came to the realization that my gloves after all this time, now smell like Cool Ranch Doritos. What? That's the smell. I don't know how that happened. You're eating on the ice?

I didn't eat it. It just smells out. Because you sweat Cool Ranch Doritos, Roy. Apparently, I do. Yeah. You have spent so much time in the press box, munching down on Cool Ranch Doritos. You sweat. Wasn't that

like an old yo mama joke? Like your mama's so fat her blood type is Rocky Road. Yeah. Like that's like that's you but for cool ranch Doritos. Well Brad I we got into your hockey prowess and I wanted to ask you

what you thought the best element of your game is and if I can guess before you answer is it chirping because you're such a good shit talker. It's poke checking. Dude. I will tell you what the the best part of my game was and I took so much pride in this

yes I was a pretty good chirper and people chirped back and I'll get into that in a second but the best part of my game is I could do this pass and I can still do it to this day where I flip the puck in the air so the puck goes airborne

but I always managed to land it flat it never it never laid it on its side it didn't bounce around. It just landed flat. So I was really proud of that. I was really proud of the fact that I could get a pass over your stick and then have it land flat and be right there for a guy. That's good.

But hockey rivalries run deep. Childhood rivalries run deep. I don't know if you guys have any people that you grew up with playing sports with. Like if you had an A-hole of your league where you... So the A-hole in my league, I'm going to say, his name and it's okay because he's a public figure his name is his name is Evan Moore

ended up playing tight end for the Cleveland Browns oh my God wow he grew up he grew up he was such a dirty hockey player I'll shout out a 10 year old Evan Moore I'll put him on blast

I don't care he looks dirty yeah yeah but then one day I'm watching the NFL and all of a sudden they're like and there's the catch from and they show him, and I'm like, duh. The guy went pro. The guy went to the NFL. I don't know what kind of career he had.

I don't know how much money he made, but good on him. But that was my solace knowing that the guy I hated playing hockey against more than anybody. Yes, he went to the NFL, but he played for the Browns. If you're wondering what his career stats were, three years for the Browns, one year for the Seahawks, one game for the Eagles, 63 career catches, five touchdowns in the NFL, and one loss fumble. Hey, that's five more touchdowns than any of us. Yeah, that's true.

Not exactly a fantasy stud, but, you know, he got to the league. He's looking up in a week 16. Shout out to Evan Moore, who now is probably watching Instagram or TikTok and going like, Wait, that little dwarf from the league Is that little dwarf? Shout out to Evan Moore. I'm sure you've done corporate gigs for sports scenes. I saw that you did something with the Broncos and John Elway.

Yeah. How would you say that athletes take jokes? Because is it anything like Norm McDonnell and the ESPs the way those athletes took those jokes? I mean, those are pretty a Serbic, but like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, in general, I think athletes trash talk so much that they, they like it and they go with it. The, the times I've been lucky enough to do something for the Broncos and they're, I highly advise if you're going to be a fan of a football team, uh, be a fan of a football team where if you're a dealist celebrity like myself, you're very popular with the team.

Like, don't be a chiefs fan right now because get in line. you're you know you're not getting free tickets you're not getting hookups but behind you're behind paul rudd rob wriggle uh half the the uh the guy from modern family cam from modern family you're you're behind so many people no be a titan yeah yeah well not even titans because titans is in nashville so you got a lot of country music stars that are like they're not a fan really but they'll show up and like do whatever their pregame thing is you know tightened up or whatever the hell. So, like, you'll get that.

But if you could be a fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars, you're golden. You're going to be, you're going to get so many tickets. You're going to be, like, if you can be a D-Less celebrity fan and just pick, like, the random team, you're going to be awesome. See, they suck to be a celebrity and a Dolphins fan because there's so many and the team still sucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you got that. Well, same thing with the Jets. Same thing with the Jets is you're a celebrity fan of the Jets.

Stugats, who used to work for this company. Stugats, he's 42nd line for the ticket request. Yeah, he's behind Hank Azaria. Yeah, it's hard, you know. So I, but being a fan of the Broncos, it's like me and Angela from the office. She's a big Broncos fan And so yeah Bronco is very nice to me

But to your original point Yes, athletes get jokes When I did the corporate event For John Elway I made fun of Elway to his face I talked about the teeth He's one super bowl It's okay

Yeah exactly By the way This was before the incident With his friend Where they were on a golf cart and tragically his friend fell out and actually lost his life. Horrible, horrible, horrible incident. So I did not mention that because it hadn't not happened yet, nor would I.

There are some things that you just know. But I think in Kevin Hart's specials, he had one where he had LeBron and Shaq in the audience. This is back when Shaq was playing on the Cavs. And he started roasting them, and you saw them just going nuts. And so, yeah, athletes in general, they can take jokes, in my opinion. I got one more for you, Brad, and it's a quick one. Maybe it's an easy one. Kind of in the ranks of, like, when we were kids, were you a Batte Street boys guy,

or an in-saint guy, Brittany, or Christina, are you a Sidney Karasbee guy, or are you an Alex Ovetian guy? Oh, for a fuck sake. Yeah. Oh, well, man, that is tough. That is tough. So if I had to pick one. Um, I know who I'd rather have a beer with.

I'll tell you that. No, obviously I'll bet you. Yeah, but you drink it all, though. Yeah. Well, that, that's why I'm not driving home drunk that day. So it's fine. I'm, because I, you know, I definitely rather have a beer with Ovi, uh, rather party with him. Um, who I want on my team, who I think is a better team guy, I, I'll, I'll probably go sit the kid who's now, like, did the middle-aged man.

But, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a, but if you want excitement, Sid, to me, wasn't an exciting player. He's very good. He's obviously a great player. But Obie's going to do things that we're just like, holy crap. And he's going to take chances and stuff's going to happen there. That's going to be a little more exciting. But if you got to start a franchise with prime either one, I go Sid.

But that's, sorry, Roy. Yeah, Sydney Crosby is one Selky trophy. vote, you know, awesome. Finally, the Panthers have been celebrating all summer, and now the players and coaching staff and trainers are getting one day with the Stanley Cup. If you

had one day with the Stanley Cup, what would you do? You know, when my ducks won a cup back in 2006, it wasn't even 20, it was 2006, I believe

Scott Niedermeyer. did a really cool thing where he took the cup to the top of like a mountain and then he like rented a helicopter and then the helicopter like flew around and while he held the cup in the air and like did a camera shot wow yeah and then i think they put like creed in the background or something Of course. Where I just heard the news today. Will you take me higher? Yeah. Oh, my God. That was pretty inventive and pretty awesome.

Weird how times have changed because now you can just do that with a drone. You don't have to win an helicopter. Brad, if you do not are not aware of this, when you're done, Google Scott Stap, Marlins will soar. The lead singer from Creed did a Miami, a Florida Marlins, like, pipe song. Whoa. Oh, it is, I can't even describe it. Yeah, and we spoofed it.

We spoofed it on the Lovetat show. Ty goes to the runner and that sort of thing. One stretch. Do you guys, have you guys heard the Prince Viking song? No. Oh, God. That said to be good, though. Prince is a big Vikings fan.

No, it's not. It's not good. Oh, he doesn't know football. And I love Prince. Let me put that out there. Love Prince. I was in Miami. I was in the audience for the greatest half of,

time show ever. I was in the crowd for Prince's halftime show. Literally rain on them. Purple rain in the rain is one of the greatest moments of my life. You know, outside the birth of my children. Yeah. But yeah, that was great. But yeah, I think the song is called Hail to the Purple and Gold.

Purple and gold. I just found it on YouTube. We will be watching this when we get done. And you've got to watch Marlins will soar. Okay? That's our trail. A deal. Deal. So, so if I had if I had one day with the cup, man, because it's like, of course you want, like, I would definitely drink an old fashion out of it. Oh, yes. Oh, man, that's a lot of, that's a lot of bourbon, man. The biggest ice cube of all time, I'm here for it. Yeah, it would kill me.

You know, whatever. I mean, at my size, I might, I might still be able to swim in it. That'd be fun. Yeah. You know what I would do? If I won the cup, I would drive it up to Evan Moore's house because hockey rivalries run deep and I would say look what your boy got what your boy got that's what I would do I would drive it to Evan Moore's house and then yeah I'm I'm so petty yeah so I'm here for it I'm so petty the growth spur tour is September 11th through April 12th find out the tour dates and where he's going to play near you and get your tickets at brad williams comedy dot com brad williams thank you for joining us appreciate you hey thank you guys for having me uh sorry i was a little late uh to join the show but uh i'm solo

dadding this week and i had to um i had to do my daughter's hair which i found out yesterday that i am horrible at and i cannot do and so uh i but all my fans reached out and they gave me this cheat i tried it this morning holy crap it works all right so for the dad's out there. It's a vacuum cleaner. You get a vacuum cleaner and you get the tube attachment and you put the

scrunchy or the whatever on the tube. You fold it over like three or four times and then you suck all the hair. Warned your daughter first. That's a key thing. Warn your daughter you're going to do this first. Yeah. Don't just come up behind. Yeah. Don't do that. Just but warn her and then you suck

all the hair into the vacuum and then you just throw the scrunchy up onto the hair, perfect. It worked. It was amazing. Nice. I'm a great dad. So I don't know, and this is just because I don't know how that's going to work with Claire. Yeah, I was about to say it's probably going to be a bit difficult for Claire.

Different kind of texture. Two Americans. Two Americas. Two Americans with the vacuum cleaner on there. That's definitely a two America situation. But yeah, so that's why I was a little late. I had to get her off to school and do her hair. guys, thank you so much for having me. Always fun. And we didn't really talk about it, but I'm

a big Ducks fan. I had Ducks questions for you. We ran out of time. I had so much I wanted to get to. You guys are going to be a very improved team this year, I think. I love our draft. I love our new coach, as long as he doesn't repeat certain things that he did in Chicago. And I love Carlson. He's such an exciting player. And we're a fun young team. Once again, I choose the right teams to be fans of because not a lot of celebrity Ducks fans. So they're rolling out red carpets for me. It's been great. Well, we're going to get your Ducks update during the season and see how they're going to end up going.

And, yeah, you're right about Quimville. Thank you, Brad for joining us. Wow. Special thanks to Brad Williams. That was a lot of fun talking to him there about the fact that I didn't know that he actually played hockey. That was, I want to say it's surprising. Yeah, it's a surprise. Sauce pass King?

Yeah. Yeah, it got some good sauce on. those passes, man. But yeah, that is great. Rosie is cutting up this episode as soon as we are done here. Ethan is on audio.
