Wow. Feeling good about it. Yeah? Yeah, absolutely. Why? I don't know, I just do. I feel good. I feel relaxed.

rested um i'm glad for that jesse what are you doing today uh we are revisiting some moments from 2022 like our moments our moments 20 like virgin i almost said virgin radio yeah moments from the okay all right i don't work for bell what the hell man sorry uh sorry that i even mentioned that in your presence I'm just writing a cease and desist as we speak. They should be. So yeah, this today on today,

we'll be revisiting some of our moments. And then on Friday, we'll do a look ahead and revisit some of the overall moments of last year. All right. It'll be good. Okay. Well, first let's talk to our boy Dave Baston with you can bet that you can bet

that with David Bastel brought to you by sports interaction, get in the action and make a play 19 plus. please play responsibly okay dave we got some great prop bets that you can jump on right now at sportsinteraction.com slash sdpn for the year this is one of those things that like we got the next six months are going to be great because it's the best part of the year it's the it will you get fired up for the playoffs we're going to be talking about them like trade deadline playoffs all that sort of thing stuff stakes dave what's the first one that you want to talk about i think it's president's trophy right yeah let's talk president's trophy guys right now and it's no

surprised the boston bruins are are the leaders in that category uh a runaway right now steven i was gonna ask you um okay so boston 18 or whatever amount of points above everybody else i i forget the exact number but as far as the numbers are concerned odds wise 171 to win the president's trophy is truly remarkable when you're in that 35 to 40 game range which they're in uh is there is there any hope for like a Hurricanes team or a Golden Knights team? You nailed it. Maybe a Maple Leafs team to make a push? I think that's

the underrated pick right there. The Carolina Hurricanes who are surging right now and who are an extremely deep team that can withstand a whole long season's worth of great play. And injuries too. And injuries, yeah. Like I think the Hurricanes would be a good bet. I have already put

my $2 down on this bet. Oh! $2 Steve! $2 Steve. Put his bet on the Toronto Maple Leafs. Yay! It's 6-1. That's a pretty good value, too. 6-1.

I'm cheering for him anyway. Okay, I can't believe you idiots wouldn't do this. You guys are just jumping off the train when it's having a little bit of issue. Wow. 13-1. I'm taking the New Jersey Devils, baby. Boom. Boom.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Come on! Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go Jersey! All right, what do we got now, Dave? What's our next one? team to ever win the president's trophy and miss the playoffs let's go let's go jack adams because there's been a definite change in that category it was it was uh lindy ruff all the way for the longest time but now jim montgomery of the boston bruins uh has taken that position you can get lindy ruff at nine to one rick bonus has jumped into the conversation that's my pick guys you know that shock but uh jim montgomery he's uh he's number one i like rick bonus because um like as

as good as boston has been we did think that they were going to be good and and usually the jack adams is the holy shit you guys are a lot better than we thought lindy ruff and rick bonus basically being at nine to one odds winnipeg to me is even more surprising than than jersey because jersey did things to appreciably get better winnipeg ended last year in like mark scheifele going, I don't even know if I'm going to be here next year. You know what I mean? They stripped their captain. That does not sound like Mark Shifley.

That is not a good impression. That was an awful Mark Shifley. Wave at his play. Wave at his finger. But yeah, I actually think of the two, the most surprising is the Winnipeg Jets. Got to say, guys, $2 Steve struck again. Oh, hey. Well, there were several bets that I wanted to make the first, I don't know,

day of the week and it was all the season-long bets at sheldon okay sheldon key why not shut up sheldon keeps never gonna win no why because there's like three we just listed three coaches who have a better argument but i put two dollars on them that's true i think it's gonna go to there's your counter right there right steve bet on it so it's gonna go but i think it goes to jimmy monty burns like i think what's happening in boston nobody expected this this level, like if they're competing for the President's Trophy, we expected them to be in the playoffs in a playoff spot, but not this good, especially

after firing their head coach and bringing in a new one. He won the Jack Adams in October when the Bruins went basically undefeated without McAvoy or Marchant. It's unbelievable. And their goaltending, did you really think their goaltending was going to be this good? Not this good. I thought it was very strong, but... This is crazy.

This is crazy, crazy. Well, Dave, thank you so much, and you'll join us again on Friday. Hopefully I can keep it together then. Sounds good, guys. all right so we're we're going through i don't want to i hesitate to call it a best of because i was told jesse and i remember we had a boss once who told us that you can't call a show a best of because not everybody will agree that it is the best that you have and what if the person listening has never heard you before and they think that you suck and that's your best they'll

never listen again and i felt like that was galaxy braiding it just a little there's an entire industry within an industry dedicated to overthinking everything put into media. 100%. That's enough. Yeah, it's crazy. You think Twitter's bad? You should see a media consultant. Alright, so Jesse, you know what I'm talking about.

So Jesse, what do we have lined up here for our clips of the year in 2022? Well, we're going to start with the hottest debate of 2022. The Toronto Maple Leafs goaltending situation. Oh boy. So, back in July...

This is going to be tough. We talked about the Maple Leafs goaltending situation. Man, we're going to hate this. And Jack Campbell potentially signing a massive deal and what might happen. I want to revisit our conversation and then we'll discuss. Okay. Are you guys ready? No, this is going to suck.

Here we go. We'll cut through the rest of this really quickly. Jack Campbell could be moved as well in the way that Mikheyev is. That would make sense. Yeah, it does make sense. Darren Drager says he'll probably get $6 million. bucks new jersey oh really yeah new jersey's expected to be a major player for this and one of the things i read i believe it was on tsn was like listen if the leafs could maybe ask for like

a mackenzie blackwood back who's kind of gone off and then they could potentially like maybe to be built around as like yeah if they had data traded the right trading the rights i believe was the was the tsn article you know what's amazing that would have been a gross overpayment for the devils and it would have been bad for the leafs at the same time that's incredible bad for both would have been a gross overpayment and bad for the leaves at the same time so we're we're over two on things that happen might have happened you guys ready well we're not we're not predicting anything yet it's not like i pulled this out of my ass it was darren draker and a tsn report i'm not really sure i was loving people give us credit for that i'm like listen man that was not our

report i'm just reading what's being reported remember what you said i'm not a reporter i don't know can we keep yeah yeah go okay comes here and there's a reclamation project right mackenzie blackwood makes 2.8 million dollars is that what we want not when peter morazic makes 3.9 or whatever also he hadn't been traded yet he was still a leaf interesting the logic around not blowing it up is sound however who's the goalie literally who's either goalie not even just who's the starting goalie who's the backup goalie they did not have a who are either of the goalies dude pavel francoz had to win a series on his own basically he was available for colorado yep that could have been could have been and that has happened many times in playoff history where the

eventual stanley cup champions had their backup just take the reins for a while pittsburgh both times in their back-to-back the ducks in 07 uh the avalanche this year didn't uh started as the starter didn't osgood and vernon with detroit go back and forth i'm not sure okay well i know detroit won back-to-backs and in one vernon was the starter and then the next osgood was right But I think like this playoff run I think we counted them before Because we got Nashville with UC Soros out St. Louis Bennington was out

It's happened so many times And St. Louis was able to go to Uso Yeah And like Steve Kyle Dubas comes to you and says Next year I'm starting with Morazic and Shalgrim How do you feel?

I take the over on every game and watch none of them. I like that. I think that was funny. Bang on correct. I was absolutely correct on that one.

Yeah, that was good, man. And by the way, the backup conversation we were having was pertaining to like, all right, you go out and get a starter. Great. Who the hell is behind them because a lot of teams in recent memory except for the lightning have needed them right the

lightning haven't had to go on like sustained stretches of oh shit we need to use brian elliott or curtis mcclainy like it's just been that one guy that's that's all you had from that clip it's a little bit more there's other there's other clips there's another minute you were just having fun looking at it right well because i was ready i'm just waiting for me going matt murray holy shit what are we thinking here well they hadn't done it yet yeah that wasn't that's true oh that's right because morass was still on the team yeah wow wow what a time what a time to be alive all right uh next one next moment we are revisiting steve you can set this up because this clip is directly before game number six toronto maple leafs versus tampa bay

lightning can you set the scene from game five and what happens after that and then how uh we're going into game six and then i'll play you back our feelings on what we were thinking going into that so game five uh the leafs lightning series if i'm not mistaken the leafs mounted somewhat of a comeback at home nylander tied it or no or gave them the lead and then i think ryan mcdonough scored and tied it in short order and then marner to matthews matthews gets the winner so we go into game six and the leafs have yet another frigging opportunity to close out a series in tampa they had already won a game in tampa in this series it's amazing absolutely amazing how many consecutive game sevens the leafs have lost or seven game series the leafs have lost while a being up in

those series and b winning at least one road game in those series and some of them more than one this series in particular was so disheartening because it was one nothing then two one yeah three two and every single chance they didn't do it no yeah i mean but but every time every time they've had the chance to close them out with the exception of Washington in 16-17. Yeah. Where they were up two to one. They were up two to one. But they were never supposed to be in that series to begin with. But like they could have closed out Boston two

times. They had one chance to close out Boston in 2018. They had two chances to close them out in 2019. They had three chances to close out the Habs. They had one chance to close out the Blue Jackets.

I almost forgot. And they had two chances to close out the Lightning. To not win a single one of those games is unfathomable. You don't even luck into one of them. Not one. Oops. Not one.

Oops, the puck just bounced. Not one. Her, Brooke's speech. I don't care if they beat us ten, you know, nine times. Not one of them. The ten is us. Not one of them.

No. Anyway, what's the stupid clip? All right, this is us going into game six and how we were feeling in our predictions. Oh, man. Oh, no. Do I say the vision? In games that they can win a playoff,

I'll give you that. Not true. They're 1-8. Leafs 0-8 in games that they can win a playoff slash qualifier series. Not true. They're 1-8. Well, fucking duh.

Obviously. Oh, win? Yeah, win. Duh. From Phil Becks. Since 2004, they're 0-8. Yeah, because they haven't won a playoff series. Yep.

Is Thursday the day. It's hard to bet against Tampa at home. I'm not betting against the Leafs in the series. No, you're sick of this one. In the beginning of the series. was Leafs in seven? No, my voice is just worse. I hope the Leafs are ahead of schedule.

I think it ends in Tampa. Wow. A living in Tampa in any way, shape, or form sends a message. Doing it in Tampa, meaning the Leafs win the majority of games in Tampa over the course of the season. Yeah, that'll get everyone's attention.

Freach said that whatever it is the Leafs do before the game, like before the first period of the game to warm up, they should stop. and do whatever it is they do before the second period of the game. And he's right. If they start, like if you don't tip, if you don't just give up two goals for no reason,

like the Leafs did last night, like I... Jason Spencer should announce the opening lineup. Yes. Yeah. And honestly, like I think that they can, and I think that they will. Oh, yeah, because he had like some speech again, didn't he? It's going to be...

I really, I believe in the poise of this team. I believe they've got guts. we've been asking for guts for years that's a team with guts yeah they're men they're made of flesh and bone they're they're they're not faultless but they have fewer how we talk about this fucking team i would just like to say that adam's like oh they have guts in a metaphorical way and steve goes on to describe their physical guts they're men with flesh and flesh and bones and they have stomachs see i wasn't even piggybacking off of what adam said i think that's me ignoring what he said i really did believe man i really did they played a gutsy

series but you know who fucking ate them alive and who's looking incredible right now is the guy that could have had at the trade deadline which is brandon hagel brandon hagel first off looks like such a stud in tampa and the leafs could have had him he drew like eight penalties in seven games or something stupid he was he was that series man that to me was his coming out party he was unbelievable and you never know right like is this is this guy super intense and really good on a shitty team like the blackhawks were or is he able to you know and is he able to work with less ice time and far less responsibility in tampa and he sure did he stood out even more i that's that was game seven jess maru just just fucking fuck you know everything about that was

disheartening they lost their entire third line and replaced it with like a a bang-on group of players that you would like brandon hagel yanni gourd i think they were made in the same lab yeah uh nicholas paul yeah throwing him in there uh to replace one of the big guys whether you'd say it's coleman or gadreau like this fucking team man oh god that hurts my let's finish this one out and then uh we'll move on the next one it's been years past let's go boys if tampa lose no if tampa wins versus the leafs in tampa and then they lose to toronto in toronto game seven does that mean their streak of not losing back-to-back games in the playoffs is still alive uh yeah and they can still defend that streak yeah coming next year absolutely that's it that's a fun way to get

eliminated, I guess. Bless you, Jesse. It'll be better when the Leafs break that streak and end it on Thursday. Come on, the Leafs end it on Thursday. Way to go, Dick. Why don't you just scream shut up? Vasilevski.

Oh, no. Dangerous. That didn't age well. Didn't happen. Vasilevski, everybody. Maybe this year because it looks like they're going to play them again. They had the lead. Bring back Vasilevski. everybody wants it back everyone all the people hey are we gonna have happy clips or is it just

gonna be about our shitty takes about goaltending in the playoffs no no these are all depressing oh every single one that's good awesome i can't wait yeah all right next clip we've got uh what everybody wants to be talking about oh dear mike babcock and the possibility of him coaching the edmonton oilers because this was apparently something we talked about in january of 2022 wow i don't remember that at all neither do i until i saw this neither did i until i saw this clip here it is uh jesse you had a rumor you said you're gonna bring that up yeah this is it's a level above rumor break and a level uh i think another notch above a sweater one smart insider man but the uh the twitter people are throwing mike babcock's name into the ring

i saw the oilers job is there a there there does that work do you guys think it's a thing that should happen i mean you're replacing dave tippett with mike babcock wait it's hockey dude with hockey dude i listen deck chairs to me i don't have any doubt that he could adequately coach a hockey game i don't think he forgot how to do that all right um the issue with babcock uh was other stuff i think it's worth mentioning and if ken holland i said this a while ago i'm pretty sure i'll say it again he's getting back in if he wants back in he can get back in right and holland is a big hockey canada guy oh fuck that's bad i don't know if there's a there there like i don't know is tippet really the problem i don't know yeah i

I mean, but it's a copycat league. How can you not look at your division rival in the Vancouver Canucks and go, yeah, they replaced their coach with a happy-go-lucky guy, so I'm going to go get Mike Babbitt. Or just the precedent in the NHL of teams firing their head coach in the round of January and then those teams going on runs. And improving. Yeah, I mean, I think he's getting back if he wants it.

uh cj on i think uh one of the earlier uh chris johnston shows says he might not like he might just be content to retire to what he's currently doing but if he wants back in uh he'll get it and ken holland wouldn't surprise me because they have an established relationship i think it could help them potentially in the short term in the long term is it the right idea i think most people who listen to the show would say no you know if this had happened i don't see that as a good you go on we'll keep watching go ahead i i think we had babcock been hired had that actually happened um we would have missed out on the jay woodcroft sort of the pose the pose can you do the jay woodcroft pose like it's the we saw it in montreal in person yeah i was like oh he's doing

he's doing the jay rook he pops that butt out you know and you know you know i i pick on dubas a lot so let me just say this ken holland loves his guys loves them loves and his guys are our former leaf guys well former leaf guys he if you wore a leaf get on ken holland's team whether it was for canada or toronto get on my team right now you did what in the past get on my team right now i am not interested in hearing any of that get on my team right now duncan get that oilers jersey on right now is your how old get that on right now do you want to hear yourself this idea okay good good good yeah right i think i don't know what you're doing you got to keep to me you got to keep Dave Tippett

for the rest of the year. I was going so well. Has he had two seasons even? Three seasons? I don't even know. Their defense stinks and they can't stop the puck. Right, and they've

overcommitted a lot of money to some of that defense. Oh, wow. Wow, it's changed. Still, like, you knew... Did Dave Tippett give Cody Ceci all that money? No.

And Tyson Berry. And Tyson Berry. Who's objectively great on offense, but horrendous on defense. That's the thing. He hasn't even been that great on offense.

I know. Tyson Berry. I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have. Oh, that's funny. Tell me to pause. Yeah, my bad. What I was going to say is, so context at the time, the Oilers were not just in talk about fire the coach territory.

Like they were, they were in perilous position to miss the playoffs. They started hot and then fell off a cliff. Fell off all the way off a cliff. Like they were right about on par with the Canucks at this time of the season. The Canucks on their way up, the Oilers on their way down. before like there's a reason Oilers fans love Jay Woodcroft they were dog shit

before that guy joined the team and then and then they he came on and they were great they went to the final four right they went to the damn final four Jesse what do we got on the next one the next clip I don't know if you guys remember this but it is from

two months ago a very short two months ago i want the exact date but september 23rd uh-oh 2022 uh-oh recent bad takes it's not a bad take the episode is called bofadees the reason the episode is called bofadees is because of a fake jim matheson interview oh this was so good oh oh please play it let's hear both of these pn.ca there's a link to join us on discord there it's a banger um bozy writes in our press conference questions channel that they're hoping to hear our take on the fake jim matheson interview that happened oh man did you guys see the drama that happened on the

internet a couple of days ago so jesse do you have this ready so yes i do okay good so a i the switzerland times reached out to jim matheson for an interview for his take on uh some oiler stuff but the switzerland times didn't know that they were reaching out to a fake jim matheson twitter so is that the nhl by maddie one that we i don't know what actual account they reached out to but I don't know if his real one is authentic I still don't know There are so many different Jim Matheson parody accounts And a couple of real ones

And I don't know which one is actually him That they reached out to one of them And this person behind this fake account Gave an interview As Jim Matheson Maybe the real Jim Matheson Is the friends we made along the way And the quote in the screenshot

That that Bozy provides us is, is this question. So they, they, the Switzerland times asked fake Jim Matheson. They said, so here's what two Edmonton reporters say about Koskinen.

Miko Koskinen played for the Edmonton Oilers for four years. Blick asked two reporters from the Edmonton journal about their balance of the fit. Jim Matheson said, what remains of Miko's time in Edmonton is an absolute lack of bite. He had everything to be a successful goalie here. I think former assistant goalie coach Bofa D summed it up when he told me that Miko could have been an annual contender for the Vesna Trophy for best NHL goalie if he had the same drive as his 40-year-old competitor Mike Smith would have had. I got to know Miko as a wonderful person, and I wish him all the best in Switzerland.

He will always be remembered for his enthusiasm for Taco Bell's cheesy Gortita Crunch. Like, why wasn't there a red flag? that last line will go down in nhl twitter history can we get can we get a spelling on so i guess so that's that's the interview uh miko gossian's gonna be playing over there so they reached out to jim matheson to find out what he thought and uh yeah miko apparently loves taco bell's cheesy gordita crunch according to fake jim matheson like unbelievable i know there's a language barrier there but one you don't go why the taco bell quote i don't understand why that do they have taco bell in switzerland have a taco bell surely not oh they're kind of sparse

these days you you just you just asked that oh my god as you were asking you're talking over yourself asking that question man i encourage you all to google bofadees go ahead by the way you can see how that might be like you know well that sounds nordic you know you can feel i feel like you could you know can we get a bofadees joke can you can you set set adam wild up for a bofadees joke you know i'm gonna fumble that I'm terrible at jokes Terrible No I'm gonna do it by the end of the show

Okay alright I don't think I did I feel bad I feel bad when everybody I don't like pranks Like April Fool sucks Prank videos are the worst part of the internet Well cause they're all fake too

Cause they're all fake yeah they're all actors I feel bad for the people At the Switzerland Times Who thought they were getting a good reporter From Edmonton to speak on their new Goaltender in Switzerland But it's fucking funny Oh man

Oh man It's LOL also I'm so sorry but also LOL Comma sorry I think it's I think they reached out to Jim Matheson on NHL Which is a fake account And then there's Jim Matheson NHL

And then there's Jim Atheson NHL jim jim atheson used to be able to tell because he was verified it was nhl by maddie and then one day he was tweeting out porn and everybody's like what's going on and he was hacked but then he never reached out to twitter to get the verification and one of the jim matheson fake accounts has 8,000 followers, guys. That's so funny. Like, it looks real.

I can see how this happened. I can totally see how this happened. I've been looking for a fucking quote. Here it comes. Here it comes. I got the real guys right there. Both of these, known for his work

in the DEL. He trained under Olaf Kolsik. Oh, man. He's part of a German goaltending dynasty. Bofides. Truly a pioneer. When Bofides tried

to park in Philadelphia but went to the wrong lot, what happened? They asked him, what are you nuts? Thank you. There we go. I want to say, I just want to say that I still think it's impressive that some fucking guy in Edmonton,

some jerk-off, you know who it is. You know the type, right? don't you dare click off that video you have a friend who's so committed you keep it going no no no don't keep it going because the breakdown is about to happen you want more no i think we're done you break down we'll play for a little and if steve's wrong then we can make fun of i'm right trust me trust me on this one trust me here's more of the clip okay go ahead jesse what else we got uh ds color 14 yeah i think we're sure no here it comes here it goes okay right here erica they want to know

you're a fucking asshole okay fine you're right you're a bunch of shit for doing that also good work yeah but also fuck you I think there's room for interpretation here DSColor14 There's nuance to this This is my thing right There's some dickhead He's the most lovable dickhead you know

And he is running that twitter account Just cause he feels like it Like he's not running it for money He's not even running it for himself He's just running it because he wants to entertain Other Oilers fans Jim Atheson And I'm happy to piggyback on that

God that was funny oh so there was a moment in 20 uh what year is this 2021 may awful uh march 22nd uh march 22nd 2021 there we go when we're back in lockdown we're on zoom we couldn't get haircuts or we look awful yeah um it's not not a good look for the steve dango podcast at the moment but we're trying to keep the people entertained and we tried our best so we decided that day to provide steve with his platform and for the first time ever we had steve's zoo corner oh no steve's zoo corner instead of adam's history corner and we allowed steve to tell a story from the zoo was it good we're about to find out if it was good oh no are you ready all right here we go steve's zoo corner this guy's got

the look of a guy who would jump into an elephant enclosure with his young daughter. The context is, there was a guy who went viral for jumping into the elephant enclosure and taking a picture. Do you remember? He took a picture with this kid. Oh, at the Toronto Zoo? No, it wasn't at the Toronto Zoo. It was just a viral clip.

I do actually remember a story like that. I mean, this shit happens all the time. Yeah, so then we got you to talk about the zoo. I'm probably about to talk about the time where I saw it happen. If you were to look at me, you're like, that's the guy that would do but he's exactly how you think he looks. I haven't seen his face.

I wouldn't know. Don't need to. I've seen him turn around and go, holy fuck! Now, one of the things I saw, and this is my story now, why didn't anyone say anything? Right? Because there's people standing around the enclosure. Why didn't anyone say anything to

this guy trying to get him to stop? So, I can't remember if I wrote about this in the book or not. I think I did. But, basically, at the end of the night we got to drive the zoom mobile which is this bus sort of thing that we gave the tour you gotta drive it uh back into the garage alone um there was the driver rob at the front and for security reasons there was me at the back if i really want to talk to rob i can get on

the microphone look at adam and i look at our faces i know i'm dead look at her faces as you're beginning this story yeah it's it's really good that you gave me a chance it's really really good that you gave it a real good uh eight second try thanks guys really appreciate that really thanks for sampling the story anybody listening waiting for me to warm it the fuck up i'm sitting back in my chair with just the blankest stare ever that's a death stare and adam started playing on his phone and rubbing his eye you really really appreciate that no you guys stuck it out for a tough we're great friends don't worry for sure the problem is i can't hear him back

um so we're driving and he doesn't notice hey adam i've got a headache you like knowing about rob oh there's my big chungus water like what a dickhead i'm setting the fucking story up. Rob is a character. He's an important character in the story and you didn't even let me tell it. Fuck off. You were so upset. The reason it's important to know his name

is because Rob does not, as we're passing the giraffes, which is the last animal that we pass before the garage. Oh yeah. Rob doesn't notice there is a man standing next to one of the giraffes. Okay.

Oh, okay. Oh, well now that I've waited like 15, 16 seconds for you to set the story up. This is how you know I'm not a diva. I should have just shut my computer off. I should have just shut the fucking thing off. So I go, Rob. Like as soft as I can.

And like I'm trying to ask him louder, but also without shouting, Rob. Look, Rob, Rob, stop, stop, stop, Rob, stop, Rob, stop. So finally, Rob stops. And we just we just put the brakes on and we very calmly get out and we very oh we radio for security

immediately but also we just very calmly walk up to the guy and go hey man uh what you doing in there oh you know just getting the pictures so somewhere there's some asshole who just has a picture standing next to a six meter tall giraffe he didn't get arrested he took off well first of rob and i are seasonal employees we're not tackling him and uh security wasn't there it's the third largest zoo in north america and uh yeah so there's just some guy who got away with exactly what that guy did except he wasn't endangering a child while he did it but giraffes they they can part of the script was you can kick you can crush the skull of a lion with the kick of a giraffe because they're designed to eat things off of tall things

and kill lions if they have to and this dude in cargo shorts is just so if you were watching that video going i would have said something bet you wouldn't have because you'd be like oh my god this guy might get trampled by a fucking elephant interesting that's a good i thought that was a good story worth not interrupting you know what i would never interrupt you guys i never have I just want to know what Rob's parents' names were. Here, let me look it up on Facebook. I don't know, Adam! They live in Bickering! You fucking asshole!

Oh my god. Adam was just waiting for you to end your story so he could say that line. I don't understand how I was being gratuitous with that relevant fact! It was not a frivolous detail at all. Steve, what kind of shoes was he wearing? probably uh converse all-stars they were big at the time i love you man where else can we hear more the feeling's not mutual you should start a podcast on the sdpn about your zoo stories

oh yeah like you know about that well there is a book but there's more clearly jesse this is targeted bullion like you literally were like tell us tell a zoo story and i got eight seconds into the story before you went fuck off gives a shit we don't care here jesse start to tell a zoo story i'm really interested in your zoo story i want to hear it well oh shut the fuck up why don't you shut up boo tomato fucking who cares who rob is shut your face we we made fun of you as you started the story then you told the story and then immediately after the story it was a perfect it was a relevant story oh that's a funny moment yeah i thought so you know what's crazy about that watching that now crazy about that here's the ad tell me about it is that

we shut up boo get to the point we hadn't seen each other in two years like we'd seen each other maybe one time we should have no longer this would have been with this because this is free this studio because i'm in the basement here yes i'm standing where steve is now and i had a stand up desk and that's what i did the shows with no you're right you're right so that would have been probably what like like still lockdown 2021 yeah this is march 2021 oh my god that was the spring one that was the most demoralizing one that was terrible six months of it six months straight was that the one that was i want to say it was christmas 2020 yeah it was christmas 2020 to the end of june 2021 yeah there was it was like you don't honestly if you're like people in the

states they talk about the wave we had like 40 of them yeah and and and and it's not that you didn't it's just that we have public health and we can't overload our system yeah and man it was fucking brutal it was we you couldn't they were like you you can't even go you can't even fucking golf you can't oh yeah they took away golf yeah no golf no soccer don't even don't sit on a public bench i remember they had fucking they had caution tape over the public benches remember and then the Leafs played the playoff game in early July in the bubble games, and then they allowed like 10 people in the building, or it was like 50 Leafs fans in the building,

and it was such a big deal. 500. Was it 500? And they were nurses. Yeah. Nurses and doctors. Yeah, healthcare workers. Yeah, and they got to be in the building,

and that was like the biggest deal out of like two years. We're like, oh my God, people can watch the live game. Yeah, got to watch them lose 3-1. Yeah. Yeah, no, I know, right? They blew it. Didn't even show up for them. Blew it.

Anyway, that's very funny. i think honestly i look back on that it's such a dark time and that moment i think we needed that laugh like i'm sorry you had to be the guy you're welcome but i think it was a laugh for two of us yeah like we needed to we needed to have a laugh like that's not i got i literally got eight seconds into that story and all of a sudden you're like an angry old italian man in traffic oh Speaking of traffic Andiamo

No, no. So loud in there. Doc was trying to call a timeout. The ref just couldn't hear. So he had to desperately run over and they quoted the rule book because you can't pass the line or blah, blah, blah. But fortunately that Tim dude did have the balls to follow up and say, my bad. This happened in the 2016 finals when Dwayne Casey, then the head coach of the Toronto

did it because they're not going to call a tech on that no because again it wasn't a he wasn't crossing the line all right and here they get into more of just why it wasn't a tech it was like so you can't hear me it's loud in here that happens i gotta get to this okay that's that's a shtick um so that happens they read my tweet and somebody's driving around in philadelphia and they say i know jesse blake oh this is one of my favorite lines i'm gonna call in and say no no way no way so next you're about to hear a listener of this fucking podcast call in and it's narc on who the fuck we are oh my god are you ready i don't know if i'm ready for this.

Where did you get that? On the New Jersey Devils website. Normally I'm a medium. It came in a little small. This is from the Aaron Andrews collection. If we're going to have a serious discussion about the Devils, we're going to be serious today. Adam, I don't think you're actually a medium.

These are my pajamas, folks. Adam, you... Oh, boy. You better watch your manspreading today.

someone asked us the three people you could bite if you could bite anyone in the world in school he was pound comma dick we're talking about

dick pound noodle man wants to know if you could bite three people in history dead or alive who would they be this is a throwback to Breda and Lemieux

I don't have weird answers I remember this who would you guys bite you get three bites To any figure in history Dead or alive You're doing this too Jesse Who you got Steve

Jesse had funny answers So you don't want to go too far Back in history because then they'd be dirty You know You don't want to put a dirty hand Well you're worried about it kicking back onto you You got all the vaccines that they didn't have It's true

Yeah I think you're in this scenario You're a time traveler and you get to come back And you're fine wash your hands or rinse your mouth you're not gonna get rubella yeah

you'll be alright thanks what the fuck but you will get it if you don't eat your name it's my favorite like prehistoric disease rubella

such a name that's an underrated lie you right now I have a machine that allows you to go back in time and bite somebody and then come back once you make the bite

once you chomp down you're transported back to this place I don't know and that person has to continue living their life having just been bitten

by a time traveler yeah nobody will believe them that's awesome so where are you going who are you biting what are you doing like what if i was the reason that hitler started to do drugs because i bit him you're not changing any course of history but i am no no he got bit by a time traveler and had to live so no one believed him the way time traveling works is that everything that's already happened because you've already time traveled because you've already gone back so everything the way that's going to play out has already happened before kanye west makes it you've already affected history by going back and i just so you just haven't done it yet yeah you just haven't done it yet you here haven't done it yet but in the past you've done it yet you've done it

so just bite somebody this is what much more complicated it needs to be can we make that so complicated i want to know the parameters in which i am biting a historical you become your own grandmother when you go back in time because you accidentally sleep with somebody in your family. Okay. Like, I didn't need that. I didn't need that.

Oh my god. There's already alleged royalty in my family. Like, I didn't need that. I didn't. Believe me, it's occurred to me. I'm going to keep saying things until you just name somebody. Yeah, really. Are you talking about us being difficult? Us being difficult?

Yeah, Steve. What the hell is this? And I just think it would take him down a peg to get bitten by a time traveler and have no one believe him. He wouldn't even tell anybody. He wouldn't. Because it would make him seem weak to admit that he was bit.

Especially by someone who looks like me. You know? Just all kind of doughy. Guess what? Think you're a powerful leader? Doughy guy just bit you and then disappeared. You didn't even get to do anything against him. So Genghis Khan. Fuck that guy. Number two. Hitler. number one fuck that guy but also number two uh towards the end i feel like you know he he thought

i'm gonna go out on my terms guess guess what before you go out i'm gonna bite you so that i would specifically bite him right before it was all over for him right before he died he's like all right all right i'm hitler i'm going out on my terms nope all right i'm down by a time travel what if you bit hitler what and then but then he had then he went out in front of a crowd and said i was bitten by a time traveler and then he was basically they all were like wow this guy actually is crazy and let's all not follow him anymore see adam's on board with my version of events you're not changing history by biting somebody we've already established that history has already happened no but what if history happened because that fucking snowman that wouldn't stand up

i just want to inflict pain or there's a lot maybe pleasure too And Mussolini He was a truly ridiculous person And he put my family in jail And fuck him for that and fuck his stupid lower lip And I would bite him I was about to say I'd bite his lower lip I wouldn't

Love bite I'm going to go next You would nibble someone Oh are you trying Oh Adam Sometimes you got to get your horny pants on No You want to nibble on Mussolini's ear?

As long as you're wearing pants. I'd Mike Tyson Mussolini's ear. Jesse, go ahead. I'll go because I think Adam's going to have the best answers because he knows history. I don't know. So I'm going to do one. I'm going to bite Muhammad Ali

because I want to be like, I bit the greatest fighter ever. I took him down a peg. You might have the best answers already, man. You should be on a watch list for that answer. That's amazing. Next, Christopher Columbus because i think he's a dick hole that's a good answer i want to bite him and then uh just run

away you know i have because i feel like he deserves it here's here's the thing about christopher columbus here's the thing about christopher columbus one of history's greatest dick holes yeah so thank you for that so what you wouldn't want to bite muhammad ali and be like take that dance like a butterfly from my teeth um and then last the greatest and you know no one would believe you and then lastly i'm gonna do jesus so i can say i ate the body of christ

there you go you don't have to take this and then the sacrament is mine because i didn't realize the only catholic boys would know that you too do we and then i would actually do it i'd be like and here's the thing

Okay what So I would go back in history And I would bite Steve I would bite Steve In like grade 9 And then I would say You're a bitch And then he would claim forever that I did that to him

And I'd be like I don't know what the fuck you're talking about I don't have a time I'd be like a guy who looks and sounds exactly like an older Adam And he talks exactly like grade 9 Adam does no you wouldn't know adam you would know i know okay but we'd be we'd be doing this podcast and you'd be yelling here adam you came back in time when i was a great dad you bit me and we'd all be like steve you're fucking crazy yeah and then and then no i'd be like this guy named adam baby what is it matter what his name is come on and we'd be like no steve that didn't

i bite you and say you're a bitch all your life you'd have to know that adam beat you in the bathroom you got a time machine but until recently you wouldn't be able to say anything because like in our 20s i'd be like what are you fucking saying what are you talking about we'd have to get to this moment that moment and then you would finally know yeah what what i've thought i was crazy for the last 20 years gonna hit the button yeah hit the button man hit the button all right we got one more holiday episode and then we're gonna be back next monday no we don't need another one that's enough enough detail we don't need it stop talking stop it we don't need it adam i just got the
