Starting point is 00:00:00 Sometimes life throws your curveballs and you don't have time to get to them and that's where TaskRabbit comes in and I think you should check this out because here's the deal. One of the things, one of the weird quirks about my condo building is that they use my floor to repel down and clean all the windows but they never clean my windows. And their way around on that is like, well, it's a patio window, you can do that yourself. And I'm like, well, hang on a second. What if I don't want to? I don't have the stuff because you got to have that scraper thing and the washer thing.

Starting point is 00:01:57 Hello, everybody. That's so great. Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you so much. Listen, how many of you have ever actually been to a live podcast before? Like two or three? Two, three. So just so you know, like before we get started here, we don't want this to be like a poetry recital.
Starting point is 00:02:13 We want this to be loud and obnoxious and that sort of thing. So I'm going to say this. How do you feel about the San Diego Gulls? Yeah. All right. All right, how do we feel about the Barracuda? All right, we've got a crowd tonight. Everybody, welcome.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Thank you so much. Our first live show outside of Canada. Woo! Unbelievable. That is very not true. Is it not? When did we do a live show? Oh, yeah, we did one in Nashville.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Two seasons ago. At least our second or third. What a boost for Nashville. I don't blame them. Guys, welcome. We're so excited that you're here. This is really, really cool. I never really thought that we'd get to the stage in our careers where we'd be able to go to Northern California and do a show,
Starting point is 00:03:02 a watch-along for a team that's away. Like, this is amazing. So thank you for being here. And thank you to the Sharks organization. Sharks and Barracuda have been amazing to us. So give them a big round of applause. Talk about a group of people that want to do things differently. It's awesome.
Starting point is 00:03:17 It's awesome. So anyway, yeah. So first things first, let's get this out of the way. You're here tonight. You're probably going to win some stuff. We got some giveaways. I want you to go see Etzel at the side here, just over here on the computer. Get your raffle ticket.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Not on the computer, sorry, with the Sharks jersey on. My apologies. You just picked any random woman and said, I bet it's her. Wow, wow, wow. Get yourself a raffle ticket because we're going to be giving stuff away throughout the intermissions and that sort of thing. And I just want to say that one more time, how do we feel about the San Diego Gulls?
Starting point is 00:03:54 Yeah, that's right. That's right. Now, listen, we're in the Tech CU Arena right now. And for anybody that's not here, it's kind of a labyrinth. It's so much ice. It's massive. Absolutely massive. And you know what's crazy is that people can just walk in and watch the Barracuda practice anytime.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Whatever they want. Or the Sharks. Or the Sharks. Yeah. Do you understand? You don't have to inform these people. They are aware. I'm aware, but I'm doing a show for more than just these people.
Starting point is 00:04:25 There's going to be people listening to this. You have to understand. I'm not. Just you. For people that. Woo! Oh, playing to the crowd, sucking up to the crowd. I like hearing about the people that are here right now.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Yeah! You got to do the Springfield Shelbyville thing. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Come on. I just have to say, for somebody from Canada, what a shock. You could just walk in and do that. You can't do that in Toronto.
Starting point is 00:04:51 You can't do that in Montreal. You can't do that in any city in Canada. I was saying, like, the Ford Performance Center, which they have in Toronto, the ice is really good and everything, but it's more of a place where you come and go. This feels like a hub. This feels like a place where you can kick off your shoes, put on some skates, and stay a while. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:08 You know, it's not quite the same. The bigger shock for me was the 30-degree heat. Oh. Sorry. 87. 87-degree heat. 87. I don't know what that is.
Starting point is 00:05:19 it's it's all right let's end the debate celsius wins over fahrenheit oh it makes more sense it makes more sense zero is freezing how does that not make sense yeah no 36 36 what is that oh it's 32 i believe 32 even now yeah i believe i'm just swinging and missing and everything tonight i believe we settled this debate in february and it's celsius forever now oh okay Oh, yes. That's what the Four Nations was about. That's what it was for. So, obviously, we're here tonight.
Starting point is 00:05:52 That went over like a wet fart here. But I bet at home it killed. We're here tonight, obviously, for the weigh game between the Barracuda and the San Diego Gulls. We are here again tomorrow for the Leafs versus the Sharks, which is going to be great. And then Friday, we've got the Abbotsford Canucks in town. And then Saturday, it's Canucks, Barracuda again. and then Rangers-Sharks. So there's a lot of hockey coming up.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Just a little bit. That's great. Are any of you going to be at the Leafs game tomorrow night? Oh, wow. Did you just call it a Leafs game? It is a Leafs game. Let's be honest. They know the Sharks are going to be there.
Starting point is 00:06:32 They're scheduled live. They're the Sharks. How did it feel for you guys when the Sharks walked into Toronto and kicked the Leafs' ass a couple weeks ago? Yeah. We were all there, and it was, man. No shootout losses. That's right.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Me and my big mouth. Yeah, you're welcome. You're freaking welcome. Damn. Lilligren? What about him? Oh, yeah, it's not Lilligren anymore. It's Liljagren.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Oh, I was like, why are they saying it like that? So that's a big change for us. Yeah, yeah. He never said anything in Toronto about that. I know, but he came here and he's like, no, this is my real name. Dude, Nikolai Kuhlman changed the spelling of his name. Andreas Janssen changed the spelling of his name all after they left Toronto. They're not buying into the whole Canadian stereotype.
Starting point is 00:07:28 If you just tell us, we'll be like, we're really sorry about that. We'll change it, no problem. No, they're just like, you know what, just call me the wrong thing for like, I don't know, half a decade. You know, we had the president of the Sharks, Jonathan Becker, on today. And, yeah, he deserves a round of applause. Our team's president doesn't get that reception. Yeah, that's great. And I'll tell you this.
Starting point is 00:07:52 What was crazy is he said, listen, I want people to come here and be themselves. And it truly does kind of feel like that. Just from the name. We talked to Ethan Cardwell yesterday. Man, if you were going to see him tonight, what a guy. A rock star. Has his own podcast. Would not be allowed where we're from.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Like, these are the kinds of things. It's like, man, it's like we're in the future. Because 10 years from now, everybody else is going to be doing all this stuff. And the Sharks are going to be on to, Sharks and Coot are going to be on to new things. What's the next? A couple cups deep. Yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Oh, it sure feels that way, doesn't it? Yeah. Four trips to the Stanley Cup final deep. Leafs have to get a couple also. Yeah, yeah. No? All right. Well, I tried.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I tried. I tried to make it happen. What's that? Yeah, the Leafs cup. Oh, cups. Yeah. Yeah, they're old. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Yeah, but it's like, the pictures are so old, they're like AI. There are six teams. I've been in intramural leagues that have more than six teams. It doesn't really count. Yeah, Jesse and I's hockey against each other. It's like the same. It's like the same. We are the same.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Yeah, indeed. Just to give an example, the last time the Leafs won the Cup, it was about 12 years after they invented the slap shot. And I'm not kidding. Yeah, it was two years before they invented the moon landing. Yeah. Still waiting for a third round victory. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Love a third round victory. I would love a third round appearance. Yeah. At all. Hey, you know, so it's interesting. If you want to, listen, you guys say, oh, well, you guys, like you Toronto people, you have cups. We want one here. You guys have a third round victory.
Starting point is 00:09:38 That's, I think, a really important thing. We've never had one. Never. Never. in Toronto's history well so apparently they had one in like the 30s or something and people were very angry when we said that and I'm here to tell you that doesn't count anymore it was over 80 years ago nope yeah nope if your great-grandfather was on the team it counts if you don't have a blood relative who was on one of those teams doesn't freaking count never happened so so one
Starting point is 00:10:08 of the things that we're sort of learning around here is uh first off we we we got the full tourist experience got off the plane checked into the airport or checked into the hotel did not check into the airport and uh should have had a coffee beforehand yeah i know i know it keeps going keeps getting better and the people are loving you wouldn't believe you wouldn't believe uh how touristy we got we we we rented some bikes and we went oh we got an oh my god at the back oh my god that took 10 minutes because i had to download the lyft app and then i had to scan the bike which we don't have or we do have those bikes the exact same system in toronto and adam just doesn't use it yeah well you know this is this thing in toronto it's called cold right kind of
Starting point is 00:10:53 sucks uh and no no no you didn't know how the app worked and then we rolled over to was it whole foods or trader joe trader joe yeah which is a very big deal for us yeah we don't have one of those my girlfriend makes day trips to buffalo just to go to trader joe's really yeah she does like twice a year so are you guys like trader joe's people like do you guys yeah you do okay so here's what i've heard about trader joe's is super weird is that they they will have a product people will fall in love with it and they'll be like it's never going to be available again yeah yeah how do they get away with that that's great you guys keep going back we're like well there might be something else i could fall in love with it's manipulation okay traitor joe's yeah
Starting point is 00:11:31 yeah because he betrays you that's a good one that was a really good one everybody's still laughing they're still laughing it just goes all the way back of laughing i liked it i like that's enough that's enough we also got to talk to uh william ecklund today yeah uh what a dude what a guy what a beauty yeah really great he he said to us afterwards he's like that's the first time I've done, like, a fun interview in English. And we're like, oh, that's cool. Like, you know, because most of them are professionals. Like, post-game, how do you feel?
Starting point is 00:12:06 You scored a bunch of goals. You're the first star. You're super cool. Yeah, good. And what I loved about it is before we turned the cameras on, we're like, don't worry. We're not going to, like, talk to you about the Leafs or anything. And then he let slip that he trained with William Nylander in the summer.
Starting point is 00:12:18 We're like, what's he like? Immediately, what's he like? They don't know each other. All the Swedes. They just hang out all the time. He plays video games with Fabian Zetterlund and Whose Number I Stole and Rasmus Sandin. They're booing you. Do we get to talk about that?
Starting point is 00:12:37 What? He's gone. When you take someone's number who's currently active. Me neither. And then you put your own name on the back. That's a jersey foul. Show them your jersey. That is 100% a jersey foul.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Yeah, what do we think? Too soon. Too soon. Woo! The only number 20 in town. This guy. Hey, hey You traded a good player to the Senators
Starting point is 00:13:02 I get his number That is your payment That is your payment I did not enjoy him Getting traded to the Atlantic Wrong ocean Wrong ocean I wish he was a shark too, believe me

Yeah, anything the boys need Anything they need Anything to help the Leafs also I should also mention that during today's podcast, Mike Ricci walked by and was chirping us, which was that's a legend right there. That's a legend. Can I have a question? Was anybody in attendance when the Leafs and Sharks played in the playoffs? Anybody here? You were there. OK. Wow. So I got to know. Just yell it out. Just yell it out. It was that was ninety four, right? Ninety four. Yeah. Yeah. So tell me how were what were games like that like back then versus what they're like now?

Starting point is 00:14:09 The whole city was teal. The whole city was teal. You had giant caves for playing baseball? No. Warriors not allowed to come out? No. The whole Bay Area was teal. Teal.
Starting point is 00:14:21 The whole Bay Area was teal. That's so cool. Oh. That killed me. How did it end? Yeah, how did that end? It ended with the Leafs getting killed by the Canucks in the third round. Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:35 That's how it ended. Without a third round victory. That's right. Leafs and Sharks had the same amount of third round victories that year. Yeah. Don't woo. I don't think that's... We're both sad.

No, when I was in grad school, I got dragged to bars for our study group. You got dragged to bars. That's my story, too. Yeah, I'm sure you hated it. You had to be dragged to my story, too.

Starting point is 00:18:04 That's so funny. So just to repeat for anybody that didn't hear, she became a Penns fan because she didn't really like the other sports that people were watching. And Marc-Andre Fleury is on TV. And like most people, how do you not fall in love with Marc-Andre Fleury and whatever team he's playing for? Oh, well, I mean, a few people do. Oh, that's how.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Well, it's great when you get an immediate answer. You know? How do you not? Nobody tell Alan. Yeah, right. Right. Well, that's awesome. So, okay, so we've got one Pens fan here.

Starting point is 00:18:46 We got another Leafs jersey. We got a few Matthews. And an Austin Matthews. Wow. That's sick. Oh, here we go. Oh, Kyle Wellwood. I saw you downstairs.
Starting point is 00:18:53 That deserves a round of applause. What a legend. Oh, that's crazy. That's cool. True legend. Now, are you guys, okay, so my question is, are you guys like Sharks fans and Leafs fans? because some people have Eastern and Western teams. What do you got, buddy?
Starting point is 00:19:05 No, a lot of shaking the heads. I'm a Sharks fan, but I like the Leafs because I like that talk about them. Oh, man. Well, thank you. We're kind of annoying. You know what? Clip that for the next time the Leafs get mad at us. We could be like, there's a guy in California who likes the Leafs purely out of, I think, pity for us.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Right. Which is nice. Look what we're doing for you, Leafs. People feel bad enough for us that they bought your jersey. We're spreading the gospel of heartbreak. It's great. I'm glad. Send that to Shani.
Starting point is 00:19:35 That's awesome. I've got a race to the three. Uh-huh. Sorry, everybody. Buffalo's number one. Buffalo's number one? I think we can all boo you. Yeah, don't hurt this man.
Starting point is 00:19:52 He's already hurt enough. He got to cheer for Dominic Hasek, which I never did. Okay. Are you from Buffalo? Are you from Buffalo? Okay. Guy that taught you hockey gave you a Sabres jersey. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And they were good back then, to be fair. Hoshik and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, we can relate. And then what are the other two? Okay. Number two.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Oh. Carolina. You just follow Brent Burns from town to town? Brent Burns follows you? No, he means like... He doesn't mean literally. Oh, he doesn't mean literally? I believed you!
Starting point is 00:20:42 He doesn't mean literally, Stephen. California, state of betrayal. So one of the questions we got from the Barracuda team today was should Steve start a teal room? The room of truth? The room of truth. Oh, a truth room. The truth room.
Starting point is 00:21:02 The truth room. Or the room of truth. The room of truth. Let me say this. Truth room. One of the reasons we're here is because Steve last year started saying, you know what? The Sharks are doing it right before anyone else was. And it's funny because now everybody's like, yeah, the Sharks are killing it.
Starting point is 00:21:17 It was because they went on, what was it, a seven-game winning streak last December? Yes. And during that winning streak, Steve's like, they're going to do it. They're on their way out. People are ignoring the truth, and I won't have it. You were really convinced they were making a run, and it was that winning streak and then nothing else. Hey, hey, they were all right for a bit for those seven games.
Starting point is 00:21:38 And the butterfly effect is now we're a five-and-a-half-hour flight from home. Yay. Yay. But you had – when you were talking to Brody Brazil a couple days ago. Yes. Yeah, you love Brody, right? We love Brody. What a great guy.
Starting point is 00:21:52 And when he said Do you think that you could become like If you've got an eastern conference team Could you have a western conference team And could it maybe be San Jose And what did you say You need blue to make teal And then we looked it up and that is literally true
Starting point is 00:22:07 You also need yellow Yeah I was confused by that Like to mix paint, teal paint You're shaking your head, that's what I thought There's two parts blue One part green and there was a smidge of yellow Yeah dad Yeah, you got a home depot to get those. Also, I've gotten really into bird calls recently. Yeah, yo, we saw Canadian geese
Starting point is 00:22:28 I didn't know you had those. Yeah, that was there are geese. They're just down here for Debra. This is where they come There is annoying for you as they are for us Yeah, see here's the thing when they come up when they get back they they get territorial because they start laying eggs and then Oh, they do that here? Oh, they're a pain in the ass here? That's great. A lot of geese fans. Yeah, a lot of geese fans.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Cobra chickens. Oh, cobra chickens. I do not like the cobra chicken. No. No, it's an old internet meme about a guy who didn't know English very well trying to describe his distaste for Canadian geese, but he didn't know what to call them. So he said, I do not like the cobra chicken.
Starting point is 00:23:13 That is a deep cut. It is, but they said it, not me. Yeah. I got it. I understood it. Oh, you worked for Reddit? How do you know you're in Silicon Valley? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:24 We're walking around here and we're like, every business is like an app we know. There's Adobe, there's Zoom, there's Reddit. Everything's just here. PayPal. Yeah, everything's here. I want to go to the Apple campuses tomorrow. I want to go to Cupertino and see there.
Starting point is 00:23:40 See all the computers? Like, what are we doing? Who wants to go to 23andMe? That's where Steve's DNA is stored. He did it. Remember when you were like Steve's 48% European A little bit more Just a smidge more
Starting point is 00:23:57 So listen tonight we just want to say first off Thank you all for being here This is so cool that you were here So cool that you're here We are going to the game starts here in a few minutes So I got to wrap it up Do you want to take some questions? I just want to quickly run down the thing
Starting point is 00:24:10 So the game is going to start here We're all going to watch together right? We're going to have a good time We're going to give some stuff away during the intermissions You guys like giveaways, right? All right. Okay. And do you have any questions?
Starting point is 00:24:23 Any questions that you've been dying to ask Steve or Jesse or myself? What are we giving away? What are we giving away? That is a really, really good question. And I got it all. After the first period, we're going to give away three signed hats by us. Okay? After the second period, we got two GameU sticks.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Stanika's stick from last year and Cole Castle's. And the Cole Castle's one is signed. Yeah. Two Oshawa Generals That's right And then Oh that doesn't do as well here Yeah
Starting point is 00:24:52 That's so weird Okay Understood Understood And then we've got Can you hold this for me? One side here Here we go
Starting point is 00:24:58 We've got The Tigre Del Mar jersey Which is Roman Kanai's jersey And he Roman signed it So Yeah You want to stick around
Starting point is 00:25:07 That's so cool Yeah Isn't that great? Yeah Very very cool Yeah So listen We're so excited
Starting point is 00:25:13 That you're here with us If there are any questions We can get to Yes, go ahead. What's your name? All right. Oh, you get a microphone. Five minutes?
Starting point is 00:25:24 Okay. What are our thoughts on Eric Carlson? Future and former Leaf that never was. Yeah. We know that. Am I excited for him to be a Leaf? He's not going to be a Leaf now because Dubas is the Penguins GM. the leafs really do feel like they're going old school and by old school i mean they make the
Starting point is 00:25:51 playoffs every year and get older and older and older and he feels like a early 2000s leaf he like he could be this generation's ron francis like some guy who came and played 12 games and we were like yeah well he was a leaf there's one game used jersey out there yeah you never even put a ripped a stitch in it um listen he's still kicking it he's still doing great numbers um he just can't defend but that's that's always been the case and that's a team problem for the pens by the way he scored 100 points he scored 100 points here here yeah um who doesn't want a player doesn't matter what position they play who scores 100 points yeah besides you know leaf fans yeah here's the thing the leafs well he hasn't ever hit 100 so who am i talking about
Starting point is 00:26:38 It doesn't matter. The Leafs have never, I don't think, had a defenseman as talented as Eric Carlson. I think that's fair to say. Justin Hall was here five minutes ago. Borea Salming. Salming was different, right? Salming was a freight train. Different era, too.
