hey i should mention we have a kingston show we have a kingston show coming up go to kingston

old extravaganza that's on the 21st of january versus saginaw heck yeah they call themselves
There's a spirit, but we're going to crush their spirit.
It's too late to get it as a Christmas present,
but no one said you couldn't get it as a January 3rd present.
Get a hungover on New Year's Day present.
There you go.
That's something.
I like that.
Yeah.
Or just like celebrate January 10th.
You know what?
I like not feeling obligated to get smashed on New Year's Eve anymore.
Yeah, it's nice.
Because you're not in your 20s.
Yeah.
It's actually, you know, you look back,
it seems a bit ridiculous actually the best new year's of my life has been i've been in my 30s
yeah i'd never enjoyed new year's until my 30s it's way more fun i mean the best new year's days
of my life have definitely been in my yeah i remember that i remember there was a uh a new
year's where we went to somebody's chalet in in um blue mountain and uh i was there with my
girlfriend at the time and and steve was there and i don't even you were just married and uh we you
know we had a party night and steve actually had to do the prep sheet for uh the rogers stations
across the country that night and i don't work there anymore i should not have done that and
then he he uh we partied like late into the night and then the next day i was like well i'm hung
over i'm going home the rest of them just started drinking again they just kept going yeah we did
new year's two new year's two we were at the bar going new year's two and no one else shared our
enthusiasm best way to cure a hangover is just keep drinking yeah in your 20s your 30s it's just
more hell yeah one of my favorite new years is i was with all my buddies uh from like high school
and the new year's day was the alumni game when the leafs had the outdoor game at bemo field yes
and it was it was an awful experience uh down there if anybody's been to bemo field you know
in the dead of winter hold the amount of wind that comes off that lake wear snow pants if you go to
an outdoor game wear snow pants we were up in the like end of the top bleachers too because we
we just bought like the cheapest tickets but the the game like doing all of that during the day on
new year's day was so much fun or here's eve sorry and then the other game was nearest day but doing
that during that day it was just such a blast all to watch alan bester throw at his back in five
minutes you remember that yes there was a fight oh man oh yeah mike palmatier fell on his butt
and it was my bad mike paul i i've been telling you guys i've been watching um i've been watching
full 70s and 80s hockey games layoff games on on youtube and then that's normal uh well no i'm
weird for watching austin matthews in the summer and and and mike palmatier does not get enough
credit as a leafs goalie because they first off every leafs team that i'm watching in the 80s and
this is every hockey team they all concede the neutral zone they just give it to them it's like
oh you got the puck here here it is and then they uh uh like the the hockey back then it's just
terrible dude i can't watch it uh but uh but mike palmett's here is hung out to dry probably six or
seven times a period on a good day uh and and man he's not considered one of the greatest leaf
goalies of all time nobody talks about him but we should what did the forwards do let me guess
slap shot slap shot and a pass across and a slap one thing i'll never understand about 80s
goaltenders is when there's a shot along the ice and they still allow it to go in
they'll be standing because they're standing totally upright knees not even knees hyper
extended like they're trying to do a jumping jack to save the puck and the puck's just rolling
They're just sliding slowly across the ice,
and they're standing there just watching the puck go by,
and it goes right through their legs.
How many times do you see a goalie just fall backwards?
All the time.
These guys skate like, what's happening here?
Dude, I want to know if the inventor of the butterfly was even a hockey fan.
It might have been someone watching hockey for the first time.
Why don't they just get down?
You have pads on your knees.
You have pads on your knees.
Go down to the ice.
it's like because because of our age like i can't remember a world that didn't have the butterfly
so like when we played road hockey like that's what we did we just automatically went down to
your knees and at some point i don't know i guess they figured that out on the ice we would play
like exclusively on our knees if you're playing goalie you have the you're on your knees and then
you have the coat um on top over top of you as you're like pads in your block that's right playing
on your knees that's right that's how we played yeah i would have hated playing against you as
the goalie yeah i didn't harp across the net i didn't usually play goalie but uh yeah it would
have been and the shortest guys by the way in the 70s and 80s were in net yeah the tallest guys were
playing out i never thought hey big person let's put them in the net why would we no that's
ridiculous that's a stupid idea that's a stupid idea yeah he's gonna be terrible at hockey and
lemieux sucks on defense here comes biggie lumpkin up the wing he is the tallest player in nhl history
He is 6'1".
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's crazy.
Jesse, what are we doing today for this holiday special episode?
Today's all questions non-hockey.
Oh, all right.
I solicited for them on Twitter.
Okay.
Or what are they called?
X these days, they call it.
And I've printed them out.
We got four pages of questions.
I'm going to allow you guys to pick your sheet of questions, and we will rotate, and each
person will be allowed to ask a question from their sheet.
That is how we are doing it today.
All right, Adam.
Steve? Adam?
Amongst ourselves.
So there they are face down.
I'm going to take this one.
Is that okay?
Oh, you son of a gun.
It's like picking a lottery ticket at the store
that's not at the top
because you're smarter, right?
Yes, yes.
I'm going to get this one.
All right, and pass those two down to me.
You're going to take those two, right?
Yeah, I'll take those two.
All right, so we will rotate.
Everybody gets to ask a question
from their sheet from the fans.
Who wants to go first?
Go ahead, Jess.
All right, I will go first.
i'm gonna pick questions um this one's funny this is from at invalid user 1761 uh yo i should be
error 404 but okay did adam get his wedding ring replaced yet no oh you know why i'll tell you why
why uh the reason i haven't is because i still believe that it's in my truck somewhere
i can't commit to and i i have to tell you like even telling you guys on the show like i was so
embarrassed and i'm so sad because it meant yeah that ring actually really did mean a lot to me
and it was a really special day um and you know finding natalie and and and the whole i won't get
too goofy here but you know i don't talk about it a lot but it was a really really hard time what i
went through and and so you know finding natalie and and having the chance to to even consider
marriage again because i really didn't want to and then all of a sudden one day it was like yeah i
actually do want to losing that ring really broke my heart like i it really sucked so i am i am
stupidly holding on to the hope that one day it turns up uh i i doubt that it will um in in
reality but i'm i'm just hoping and praying that it does because i that every time i put that ring
on i really i really loved it and and it's a shame that i won't get it back likely i so i haven't
replaced it yet dude loves his wife you know what a fucking what a dork
i don't get sentimental about anything stupid you gotta you gotta analyze the video because
you think you lost it when we went listeners did okay said it and remember i took it off
at the lifeguard station yeah oh let me explain the video that oh you think you lost it at the
video when we ran our 10k down yes the lake on because i was wearing it and then we were pushing
steve out into the water and i took it off and i think that's where i lost it so i thought i had
put it back in the truck i don't know if i did probably didn't um and may have left it on the
lifeguard station for somebody to sell to a pawn shop so they honestly it really sucks have you
been to the beach it's not still there it's not still no i don't know i can guarantee six months
ago listen if they find it as a relic one year uh i could get one of those there are people at
the beach like that yeah maybe they found it maybe they did oh cool it's adam wilde's ring
yeah i'm gonna buy a sega genesis with this i don't know if it was worth that much
steve i believe you're up next well here wait i do have a good story so my uncle was in a boat
with my cousin his son um when he was a toddler and he couldn't find his wallet one day and uh
he he asked his son i think he was like two you know did you take daddy's wallet
and he kept going lolo lolo because um all of those kids are bilingual so he's saying lolo
water they speak french so he thinks his kid threw his wallet into the lake
a year later finds his wallet in the truck wow so maybe it'd be you yeah for a year oh my god
yeah julian threw uh my wallet in the and he got it back then that you know what sucks about that
he had to replace all his credit cards his id all that shit not to pour water on that story but
that wallet is useless after a year so not true not true because it had uh i think there was some
cash and something like two hundred dollars worth of starbucks carts all right all right yeah good
story that's a good ending yes there you go i like that so it might happen for you question question
this is from you don't have to go on the order of the page you can pick and choose if you'd like
dang mericanon dang mericanon to jesse oh yes as an avid golfer
how do you feel about the golf ball rollback news what's this what on earth is dang
maricanin to do uh talking about so um the pga tour and all of the governing bodies that control
golf they are upset because golfers can hit the ball too far these days and a lot of the old
courses that they have around the world are becoming obsolete because guys can just clear
every hazard that they've built. So the idea going into this past season was to roll back the golf
balls, meaning that they're going to use a golf ball that doesn't go as far. It coming in the next
couple... I forget when the year is actually going to be implemented. The details only matter. I
I think it's around 2027 or 2028.
They're going to start using these older golf balls with less technology.
And the advancement of golf balls must now slow down and be rolled back to the previous golf balls that don't go as far.
And the whole year, there's a big debate about if they're going to do this at the PGA Tour level, if they're going to do this in the majors, if they're going to do it with the pros and the amateurs.
at the end of the year like a month ago or like a couple weeks ago uh right now when we're recording
they decided that they're going to go through with the rollback coming in the next couple years the
next five years and it's going to affect not just pros but also amateurs so now all golf balls coming
in 2026 2027 are going to be this older technology that does not go as far and their their argument
is that they're saving the game i think no wait they gave it away like everyone can just clear
all the hazards yeah no so now they can't clear the hazards which means you're gonna lose more
golf balls so you have to buy more golf balls no you're thinking about this as a good golfer
which is the wrong way to think about it you need to think about it like most people jesse can use
the good golf jesse can use whatever he wants and he'll still probably crank it 400 yards no
and i he says no but he knows that he means no i mean like your premise is that you're thinking
about this from the consumer level yeah you know and you don't need to their argument is for the
pro game yeah they don't want these guys getting so good that golf looks like something else they
want golf to still be golf so they they want to live because these guys are they can hit the ball
too far these days the technology is is is advancing further than the courses can keep up
with the golfers right and you have to remember change a golf course right it's there you remember
steve that like they used to play golf with like a rock wrapped in fucking leather so i mean let's
go back to that then well i i don't think we need or or you know the club heads used to be wooden
and the shafts were metal that's what i learned on i learned on my grandfather's set and if you
hit a golf ball the wrong way it vibrated up the thing and made your hands no just make it like a
squirrel like a bugs buddy cartoon i think and then they get up and they go it's a living i think
i think i actually don't hate this because you kind of have to um like the golf technique
that the player has right that should be the part that's accentuated right the golf ball technology
i mean that's just science right making things better and that's awesome that's great and for
a guy like me who's a hack i'll maybe i'll look into buying a better ball maybe it will make me
less of a hack although it probably won't because i stink um i think it's there's it's not the end
of the world we see this in like racing where they put limiters on the cars like you can't you can't
they it got to a point in the 70s where the cars were going so fast that they were losing drivers
every season like dying oh jesus so it's like oh now we have to put in some safety things
and that's progressively gotten better and better less deaths uh less maiming um and so generally
good golf i think you know yeah okay fine you got to roll the golf ball back and put the onus on the
players to be even better players my problem my i love i think they should be doing this yeah for
the pro players i don't think you should do it for the amateur players because the the best
comparison i read about was wooden bats and metal bats when we all go play baseball we don't bring
out the wooden bat because we can't hit the ball that far but the pro players if they have metal
bats they're crushing at 500 feet you know they're going out of the stadium so you have them use the
wooden bats but the the guy who's just going to play softball with his friends take a metal bat
you'll hit it further yeah the the consumer fun the consumer ball should be a ball that goes far
because we can't hit it far so i don't understand why they had to make the rollback for everybody
i think it's easier on like taylormade and the brands and everything if they make one
golf ball for everybody but also the pros aren't using our golf balls they they have special you
think you're using the same club as roy roy mackerel that he bought that you bought at uh
golf town no they're using different stuff anyway so make them create different balls for pros and
the amateurs we just get to use this the newer technology aren't golf balls like outrageous like
top end ones like outrageously expensive per ball yeah no you can buy a pack of pro v1s for like a
hundred dollars how much is a pack uh you get like a sleeve will be like three in there three times
for a hundred dollars no there are balls gonna be like 20 bucks a ball
oh yeah you pull out the pack there's like 20 20 balls a hundred dollars you know yeah like that
that's your those that's the technology and the balls though like if you get to the pro level
and you want to go buy them at consumer but nobody needs that like nobody hacking around
nobody needs that nobody needs no and you're there to watch like when you're watching golf
you're there to watch people get into bad situations and then get themselves out that's
the joy of right when when somebody does something miraculous uh that that so i'm i'm with it i get
it yeah i get i get that you got to do that we're so good at sports now that sometimes it's like
well like now we have to be artificially bad yeah the formula one thing's a great comparison because
you can't just they can manufacture a faster car yeah but there are rules to the ways you can
manufacture the car yeah there's a reason they can't put a jet engine on the back of it like
it's the fucking jets you know we can go faster but we shouldn't yeah yeah maybe we maybe human
beings can't do that and maybe people keep dying and like you know make a ball go 800 yards but we
shouldn't yes 100 anyway although those longest drive competitions are pretty cool i think there
should be a motor in it in the ball yeah like a snitch like a snitch wings adam you're up next oh
i'm up next ah first question is for me but i know steve will be able to weigh in on this and
it's unfortunate that jesse can't that's okay we got to get him out there i i would be fine i took
a lot of time with the golf thing jason smith jason nb03 so i'm assuming jason's from new brunswick
question for adam wild what were his favorite restaurants from his time in halifax uh i am
in halifax for university currently now i'll be honest with you jason um the a lot of the rest
first off i didn't live there i lived there like 14 years ago now so a lot has changed uh but there
was a bar that we used to go to that is now closed called peddlers and the reason we went to it was
because it was a dollar and a half shot or two dollar shots because they'd outlawed the dollar
shots but it wasn't the type of bar where somebody would get thrown through the window like the dome
the dome the dirty dome you go to the dome i think it's still open it's a dangerous place but you
want it you want to go and have a good time the liquor dome um but i i obviously i i i loved
peddlers for for what it was which was the dj running the same mix every friday and saturday
night because it was a video dj thing and we thought he was mixing the videos in together
along with the music hey but this is a long time ago don't disparage him i love and and it was
and then but we found out that it was just a pre-made mix and he was just doing the
you know the paris hilton at the music festival thing um uh the other one is obviously um down
by the uh down by the water hey oh you know the what's why can't i think of it you know the three
level oh lower deck lower deck yeah it's the place to go i mean you gotta you gotta enjoy beyond that
i had no money so if we did go out it was like quiznos and that was like a that was literally
like a that was a treat for me if i could get a meatball sub from quiznos i ate freeze-dried
uh um chicken from a farm i used to get 20 chicken breasts for 20 bucks wow from a farm
and then i would get frozen vegetables it's a great deal isn't that a great deal yeah so i had
a george foreman grill in my apartment and all i could afford was this chicken and then i would
get a bunch of frozen vegetables because my buddy's mom had a costco card so it was like a it was
literally you know those bags of like soil or seed you get from home depot like that's what this
thing looked like i would haul it and put it into my fridge in clayton park tiny little fridge
and then i would um i would microwave the the vegetables and then i would put the chicken on
the george foreman grill and that was my uh lunch and dinner every day dude yeah so i don't have a
lot of great recommendations bad yeah there's some gym bro who's like you know you're that
should have eaten like that maybe it wouldn't be such a fatty
damn that is not where i was gonna go i wasn't saying that
well no it's all right i was i you know it uh there was that and um yeah
you know i'm just saying uh yeah so it was i don't have a lot of great recommendations
uh because of the fact that i was objectively probably riding the poverty line at that point
that's a long time ago it was a long time ago and you could live a pretty good life back then
in halifax and not make much money i don't think that's the case anymore i think it's pretty
expensive ontario apologizes yeah sorry the entire country needs more housing yes um uh man i'm not
great with the names of the places but you can basically go down by the water and walk along and
go to any restaurant and get the best seafood in the world if hamachi if the hamachi steakhouse
which is like benihana's copy where they cook it in front of you and they throw shit in the air
hamachi steakhouse was amazing i i i don't know why i'm such a stickler for this but i like eating
the cuisine of the place where i'm at yep so i don't know if i touched red meat like landing
in halifax right fish fish shellfish fish fish fish it's that's the way to go like you got a
right attitude about dude it's better yeah it's it's better like the the the fish in uh halifax
and other parts of the of the east coast it's better than the fish we get here it just is
it's from there it's from there um the the one thing i'll say it that you should do once and
then you don't need to ever do again necessarily is oysters um i love oysters those are yeah they're
love boys i like them but like they're definitely a bit of a tourist trap yeah because they're like
oh this is caught from the bay of fliffle and it you'll notice the tones of i'm like okay so my
that's it's a it's a shell so here's the thing it's a shell with stuff in it so he's wrong uh
the oysters are way better there and way better than we could possibly get here they're better
there yes way better they're better so here's what happens so my my buddies um my buddy with
his mom had the costco card that's how i got the frozen vegetables named zach i love him to this
day he's a great friend you know him steve jesse you've met him too yep and zach's uh stepfather
a guy named rob who was an absolute beauty like just one of the best people i've ever met uh just
a full-blown nova scotian through and through uh was a vp at one of the major lobster fisheries
there and so rob had you know we got to eat like lobster mac and cheese when we could never afford
it or whatever and he'd bring home these lobsters and guys the claws would be like your hand or
bigger 20 pounders like big big boys and um uh and he'd say you can't buy these in a grocery store
here you definitely can't buy them in a grocery store store anywhere else in canada except for
maybe vancouver you can get it at some specialty stores because what happens is they take all that
they grade it all right all the grade a lobster that they catch goes to china all of it none of
it stays in canada yeah because they can make so much money shipping it there um that they and the
restaurants the high-end restaurants be the expectation the the the it's a it's a delicacy
there like it's a delicacy here he's like we sell it all to china so any lobster that you buy from
like local grocery store in toronto he's like if you ever go home or whatever you will never get
lobster like this here it it is flatly just not available and so we got to eat the lobster the
high-end lobster that they would have sold to asia and honestly there is a big difference and you
know they live like forever eh yeah there's no lobsters don't die ever unless it's from an
outside source so a lobster so this is crazy this is i learned this from tiktok lobsters are i learned
this from the barnacle guy lobsters are self uh regenerating so that's why scientists are
fascinated with them because they don't die but if something kills them they'll die it's seven years
if you find a lobster that's freaking huge they estimate that it's about i i know this from the
guy who runs the claw spa um it's seven years to a pound so if you find like a 10 20 pound lobster
you're finding something that as the guy in the videos puts uh his father could have caught his
grandfather could have caught in his great-grandfather
could have caught like four generations
of men could have caught
the same lobster. Yep before
it's unbelievable met a natural predator.
They think that it once I mean the reason
that they're doing so much research on it who knows
you know, but they think that if
they're ever able to discover it
there they'll probably be able to
figure out like plastic
surgery would be a thing of the past. You could regenerate
your skin. Let me you can get
yeah, like things like that. You could yeah, let me
read from the natural history museum ah uh the idea that lobsters live forever is a myth ah these
animals from predation disease or even exhaustion when they molt for example lobsters certainly do
not live forever it's not entirely clear where this myth originated but it is a claim that persists
online often in the form of memes they're selling it nova scotia man while some animals given the
circumstances could be considered immortal lobsters are not among them like many other
decapod 10-footed crustaceans lobsters continue to grow throughout their lives scientists call this
interdeterminate growth interdeterminate growth right this contrasts with people for example
we stop growing when we reach adulthood but lobsters and other decapods do eventually reach
the end of their lives um blah blah they face health issues such as shell disease another
presential cause of death is inherently linked to their continuous growth when they are young
lobsters grow rapidly shedding their exoskeleton multiple times a year over time growth slows and
molting becomes less frequent but for each successive molt increasing amounts of energy
are needed and eventually the cost is too high and lobsters can die from exhaustion
listen this is all i care 10 to 15 percent of lobsters go out this way so all i care about
right now that lobster has eggs does it have a notch it does incredible that notch means it can
breed and you have to throw it back if you catch it jesse throw you scroll up a little bit so here's
the thing i know sorry the other oh sorry yes it says predation which is predators yeah health
issues shell disease or the so i think i think the the thing that they're talking about is that
like so rob used to tell the story about two lobsters and one of them malted in in in the
crater in the you know they'd caught them and one of them malted the next day there was only one
lobster in the thing and it's or over the weekend there was only one lobster i think because the
other lobster noticed that the lobster was malting getting rid of his shell and ate him um and and so
uh that what what i think what i think the distinction probably is that they don't have
like typical diseases that we have or or whatever maybe that's what they were trying to say yeah
well one of the it sounds like they're immortal 10 to 15 percent uh of lobsters die from molting
yeah you know for the that's when they're that's when they're that's when it's too exhausting
according to this if they can die from the exhaustion of keeping regenerating so that they
die they're saying they're immortal is uh i think that's closer to immortal than we are it is it's
Like the idea that they just keep living and creating themselves over and over again is
kind of correct, but they die from that process 10 to 15% of the time.
Well, I'm sure we're going to have a bunch.
There you go.
A bunch of marine biologists who are like, actually, I'm reading from the Natural History
Museum.
I noticed Matt had a pretty intense case of the giggles there at our little stage.
Yeah, you guys being like, oh, I saw a TikTok.
I hate that.
I just thought it was so funny that you guys went on this whole tangent and then Jesse
he was like, so...
That's what they tell you.
I don't know.
I know a reason to doubt them.
A lot, actually.
I hate when people are like,
I read this thing
and they actually just saw TikTok.
Yeah.
That's one of my biggest pet peeves
of new technology.

think i'll ask another question no they're immortal uh this is from kyle kyle one three
nine seven two seven four three very important kyle says i'm a plumber what's your take on
plumbers i need to know the outside view i think they should all be arrested and sent to prison
no i don't know what did you think we were gonna say a great question plumbers are uh i mean smart
they're smart um on account of um remember we were all told we should get a trade yeah and
the vast majority of us were like yeah no they did it and now they make what like 40 bucks an hour
oh yeah like they they if you run your own business too like you make a lot more than that
like if you've got good client base and a couple trucks out there those guys are millionaires well
and like we well we should talk to producer drew he had to call a plumber recently because a pipe
burst and if you're in the if you're a plumber in the greater toronto area oh you you're getting
lots of business these days because there's lots of burst pipes you know what this is me dragging
it out yeah i don't know i think i could have had a try too no one asks you to stretch so much
yeah we can do it we can talk man it's all good it's okay you don't have to carry it i mean
that's a strange question and i did my best i've never had a bad experience with a plumber
me neither never number one uh and i'm always really respectful of of that i used to uh i used
to do concrete work and stuff like that so when we were doing driveways you'd have to you know uh
like if it was a heated driveway that was when that technology was just first starting whoa the
guys coming on doing that i remember also digging out a few basements and and uh with the work crew
we were on and the plumbers are coming in and they're watching the grades and they're it's not
an easy gig and and there are a lot of times where plumbers are i always have a ton of respect for
this they have to go the place in your house with all the spiders uh and it also smells like shit
uh so so personally i have a ton of respect for the trade and i've never had a bad never had a
bad plumber never one you know um growing up some stereotypes were overdone yeah the plumber butt
crack oh no that's real but they're always on their knees and stuff and then they never well
nobody wears a belt anymore i don't know why when what like have you ever been in the same room
as the plumber doing their work sure no on work sites i let them do their thing oh well on work
sites you oh yeah no that's the other thing you don't do with trades people is you don't
get out of town do not do that no don't hover people yeah that's not nice why and i here's
the thing is that like i how's it going yeah like you think you like you know what the fuck you're
doing yeah you know you're pretending oh yeah you're doing that right so the people that do
that will tell you well i have to make sure they're doing they're doing it right and to which
i would say uh where do you get the balls then yeah it's why didn't you do it yeah i i always
think like okay if i don't trust the person i've hired why did i hire them where do you get the
balls adam we don't ask them enough it's a great question and we lost it and we found i just feel
like it's like okay listen if you if you feel like you could do this yourself then you should
yep if you don't trust the person you hired and you need to hover over them then don't hire them
this holiday season make sure you ask a friend or family member where do you get the balls
love that adam i'm just saying all right is it me now uh no we're going down the line down the line
yeah we're snaking it's me how dare you uh from stink face mcpoop lightning
it's a great name that's a question from discord that's the best username so far
steve if the marlies or leafs asked you to sing the national anthem at a game oh yeah would you do
it no you wouldn't do it no i've never sung for an audience before and i'm not going to start
in front of thousands and thousands of people absolutely not he's drinking he's gonna spit his
water or everything it's sort of a funny it's funny i think it'd be hilarious yeah i think it
would be bad to the point of disrespect if you were bad at it it would be awesome i think a lot
of people would find it funny and a lot of people would also go harumph like you're disrespecting
the anthem oh yeah like oh yeah you think so if it's that bad i would do it to i don't know jesse
you ever heard me sing no well there's a reason for that you know i i think like if there was
something in it like steve it's for easter seals yeah like steve we'll pay you if someone was like
steve we'll give you like a thousand dollars i wouldn't do it but if someone was like steve
we'll give fifty thousand dollars at easter seals i'd be like and oh canada we're not doing the
leafs like that's out of the question that'd be like respect the least okay would tell you to go
fuck yourself there's too many people watching that that's a little the marley's though i think
we got a shot oh i think fifty thousand dollars two easter seals no one's giving me fifty thousand
dollars to sing it a marley and then you have to agree the marley's have to agree to this too
right it's not just and i would only agree to a canadian matchup so i do one and yeah yeah we'll
get oh you know i'm not no to the height of the high note in the star stamp spanking no then you
gotta give me a hundred yeah yeah it's gotta be a hundred no we get you one anthem marley's game
and it's on like a wednesday so like there's not a lot of people there what i love on ahl tv which
no one wants to pay four hundred dollars they've lowered the price oh have they have lowered the
price do i have to advertise that i'm doing it yes we will on this podcast i want to throw something
out at you too and i've noticed this and this happened a lot before christmas so it's a little
fresh on my mind but it's in the states and i noticed this from going to games in tampa
specifically um uh they always roll out the steve for the canadian national anthem oh i know and
then the american one it's like fireworks and planes going overhead or whatever the american
treatment of the canadian national anthem in hockey is so disrespectful and now the real
yeah it's so bad and they like like oh canada okay we're done anyway oh say okay and then they
get into the you know and there's been a weirdly large amount of singers this season that don't
know the words yes like as like it happened a couple nights ago you need to know two songs
yeah and i do not practice i don't i don't do songs i don't blame them for not knowing the
canadian national anthem like i know the american one i do i know the american one because i grew up
my mom's an american no but adam if i if i ask you to do a job and you show up and you don't
know the words to the song yeah yeah like that's just i just don't think a lot of these teams with
the cheap ass owners are paying these people like i think it's like a promo people view it as a
promo opportunity i think the leafs pay in fact i know they pay it's a job but uh but i don't think
a lot of these places necessarily pay or pay that much right a lot of times it's like welcome the
singers from so-and-so district high school or whatever and you're like even then i know well
I agree.
You got to learn the words to it.
What is it?
Two minute song?
If that.
The way the Americans sing it, it's 45 seconds.
Yeah.
Dude, no.
I don't know if you saw the anthems in Sweden on TV.
Yes, the Canadian one was a little iffy.
I tweeted about it.
Yeah, but there was one singer.
I can't remember her name now, but she was an extremely good singer.
And that was the moment I realized, oh, the American anthem is just more fun to sing.
Yeah, it is.
like you could tell she was like oh i'm gonna fucking smoke this and everyone's gonna love it
and we did i didn't understand why we went and did played games in sweden and didn't sing the
swedish national anthem extremely weird uh also i felt weird there i also think it's weird that
we sing the national anthem before every game i think that's weird i think it's not necessary
is it on a date i think well they started doing it during world war ii to honor the troops and
that was it and and so like i i feel like i'm looking at it now and i'm like listen i we we
there's many ways to honor the troops nobody stands there at the beginning of the hockey game
and goes god i can't wait to sing the national anthem because i'm thinking about the troops
they honor the troops in different ways now the other thing is is like everybody like why hockey
night in canada and sportsnet specifically insist on televising it like there's a lot of sports where
the teams aren't even on the field when they do the national anthems and and i i i feel like just
do away with this crap or at least please don't air it because i don't want to sit in my living
room and watch somebody sing the national anthem i don't care i heard it a billion times growing up
special occasions yeah maybe it's the all-star game maybe stanley cup final i get that i think
we can do away with it though there's really no it's not we know what countries we're in yes we
celebrate our countries let's move on uh it's i can understand airing it every time if it's a
different singer every time but if it's the same one every it's bad television it's bad television
why are you airing it yeah i don't know well it's a difficult thing to stop once you've started
though well yeah because you have a lot a lot of people go rah rah rah for no reason a lot of
people are gonna get upset but like to that i would say you know what you're right it's
disrespectful to not sing the anthem so sing it every morning when you get up pledge allegiance
every time you park your car sing it every time you walk in the grocery store what do you mean
okay what do you hate the troops jesse hates the troops man every concert should start with
oh canada uh-huh and if you don't want that then you hate the troops yeah and i think uh every uh
funeral should start with oh canada and end with it okay um i think you know what when a new canadian
is born into canada that's what the first don't even cut the umbilical cord yeah none of this
you know tending to the eyes and all that shit a new canadian is born okay and if you don't
is that what the marley's game is gonna sound yeah absolutely that wasn't great okay oh man
Adam you're up next
And if you don't want that then you hate the troops
And I think you should check yourself because of the water
That went just astray
I'm sorry
Undrafted hockey fan
Are you guys snowboarders or skiers
I go
I fall down either way
Jesse
I used to ski in like high school
Because did you guys have skiing
In elementary school
Through 7 and 8 where they take you to Blue Mountain
Or whatever and you learn how to ski
yeah yeah so we did that in seven and eight so then i kept up like my skiing for a couple years
after that but then like if i got on skis today i couldn't ski like i'd be on my ass skiing here
too has to be like a something that your family does it does take up the whole weekend right like
you can go to lake ridge you can go to dagmar you can go to blue you know all these places first off
they are overloaded with people um like it's so crazy unless you belong to like osler which has
like a membership and it's expensive oh you know all the names well because my i have friends that
were skiers and snowboarders i i grew up skiing at lake ridge and like my mom was like listen
she's like you're gonna have to learn it's being a canadian you have to learn to do one of these
things so i learned to skate ski and i can still ski um but having now lived in the western
provinces i'll tell you it's a whole different thing because you can just pick up on the weekend
and decide to go with your friends and it takes you 20 minutes to get down the hill like if their
hills are there are mountains they're huge yeah so two to three runs right that's it um and i
remember i had a a girl i was seeing uh she was like an unbelievable skier and i didn't have the
heart to tell her that i wasn't and it had been 10 years since i'd skied and she took me down a
double black diamond through moguls and i had to oh my gosh paul i had to like shift like i'd never
shifted before i had just gotten to moguls when i quit skiing and so i had to like i was shaking
my ass trying to get down those things um my only skiing experience uh was actually very
predictive for the rest of my life um so it was dagmar uh grade eight field trip and i had this
huge uh i had this leafs winter jacket uh blue white and black with a huge leaf logo on the back
and i was skiing and i did the bunny hill it wasn't the starter jacket was it
oh yeah oh i love this so good with the front pouch it was no i don't know if it had a front
because remember because remember the charlotte hornets one that or the or the bulls one everybody
had yeah you're thinking along the right line okay okay yeah yeah and um i you know so i gained
confidence throughout the day and you know i'm like 13 14 you know full of testosterone want
to prove myself i'm pretty sure i went on a black diamond that day or like whatever the one under it
is um and this is my first time freaking skiing and uh i didn't know how to stop i would just sort
of you were lied to a stop time skiing you were on a black diamond it wasn't smart okay wasn't
clever okay so not knowing how to stop i get to the bottom of the hill and it was basically
these girls in my class were very ill-advisedly just standing at the bottom oh and i don't do
that oh my god everyone i've ever had a crush on is about to die if i don't essentially sacrifice
myself right now so i swerved to avoid them and just kept going kept going then they had this
rickety wooden fence with like the orange plastic stuff and i just slammed right the frig into it
and i laid face down on the snow just going oh like and everyone has now seen me do this
and the stranger just goes hey maple leaves you all right
i love that they called attention to you in your most awkward moment i love that
i love that i think i responded and that was the last time i ever skied um my dad got a concussion
skiing still has no idea how he did it i believe he just woke up being carted off the hill no idea
what happened he we ask about it now he's like i i have no idea i don't know i've never had that
happen that sounds like the scariest freaking yeah pretty nuts this is from d scholar 14
have you seen the gta 6 trailer yet yes if so how excited are you for it uh so i've seen the gta 6
trailer and i gotta be honest it made me zero percent excited and i'll tell you why um i know
grand theft auto is gonna have a good story um because it always has a good story i know the
gameplay is gonna be good uh because the gameplay is always good that trailer doesn't show you
anything it's oh man it's there's gonna be beaches and people doing wild stuff and you can drive cars
real fast and there's also guns like i didn't learn anything from that trailer other than
it's vice city and vice city by the way in the trailer looks incredible it does look incredible
um unless you're like racist i saw racist well there was there was also um i i yeah i thought
you were going to take the hardcore right wing thing which is i hate woke this woke agenda that
grand theft auto apparently has with a female protagonist man is mad that it's a female lead
and i'm like bro you're calling grand theft auto woke are you kidding me it's wild i think it's
funny this best the best thing to come out of that trailer and by the way i completely disagree
with steve i think he's wrong yeah i'm still jack this is steve's opinion of the gta trailer
yeah are there cars steve yes yeah so what they're doing they're just going off the ecosystem right
and and so here's so what i loved about it was um all the florida references they embrace that
the florida man twitter account and it is going to be and the guy with all the tattoos on his face
that was arrested and that they they did a mockery of sort of on the on the he's apparently like
suing them and wanting to get paid and it's like this is such great publicity for them that's
exactly what this should have done did you see what roger clark said uh roger clark the actor
who played uh arthur morgan oh yeah he said you're not gonna you're not gonna he's like first of all
you're gonna go up against rockstar's legal team and win nice try yeah uh just dude ride the
notoriety that they've given you yeah and if you look at the two characters side by side like if
you if you like sort of blink and you miss it you're like yeah that's the guy if you actually
look at them side by side they're nothing alike yeah you're going to lose it's just a person with
a bunch of tattoos yeah which isn't illegal to create yes like that is not your license you do
not own face tattoos no it is a yeah the the thing about that game coming out i think it's 25 it's
coming out yeah i think in 2020 there there were so many tantalizing things about grand theft auto
the the last one grand theft auto 5 that were sort of just beginning to be explored so like
for instance there's like a before you blow up the social media headquarters if you buy a bunch
of stock and whatever you can make a ton of money like things like playing the stock market imagine
social media was like a very little part of that grand theft auto imagine what it's going to be
um you know you being on your phone and grabbing stuff and it's it's like what they're going to be
able to do is is going to be crazy i think it'll be way funnier like if in gta6 you're just not
you're not able to get away with any crime because everyone has a camera
like that's one of the things that's that's always ignored about this is like you just
commit murder and 30 seconds later the cops are like he's gone i died i don't know where he well
i think it's because it's not a real life simulator no i know that i know that yeah no so i do i know
it's a game you're not excited about and i know but everyone's like oh and i'm like yeah man jesse
do you not feel the hype i feel the hype yeah i think it was pretty and you're not even a first
person shooter guy or a third person shooter i've never finished gta 5 like i don't play those games
i play sports games if i'm being perfectly honest about my video game playing but it looked cool
like i'm gonna play i'm gonna try it the thing i'm most excited about for grand theft auto is
the youtube content that's going to come out from it because oh because just watching other
youtubers do crazy shit is fun and like i uh it's nice background noise while you're working
there's a youtuber uh twitcher um named dark viper au who just speed runs gta5 and he like
i'm fascinated to see what he does because he just knows gta5 like the back of his hand because
he's dedicated a decade to he can speed run the entire game on 100 in like eight hours or something
stupid like wow it's it's it's insane um he has these challenges where he tries to go through
the entire story mode without taking damage not dying right he can't take damage he puts on a mod
And if he gets hit by one bullet, if he gets like bumped off his feet by a car, he's over.
It's over.
And he has to start again.
So, but I mean, when the game comes out, we're all going to be on the same playing field.
Yeah.
So that is for like a week.
Yeah.
And then the 12 year olds, the kids who just go, they go to school and then they go home
and they play for eight hours.
They're going to be like way past you.
Here's what I want to know.
When is GTA seven coming up?
My bet is 2040.
Yeah.
like a seven oh it is never coming out they made this game guaranteed gta6 is so enormous
that that you don't need enough have you seen the map comparisons it's oh my god like it's
it's this this game's gonna last for 20 years that got me hype yeah that got me hype more than
the trailer with that's a part of it and the deals yeah but like they're just showing people acting
crazy and like yeah like people are already like simping for the characters i'm like you don't know
anything about them what's wrong with you but it's a lot then they show the size of the map
i'm like hell yeah yeah that uh the thing about that too is they can always add to the map right
with the dlcs and that's the thing rockstar is very very good at dlcs they're very good at updates
they're very good at hey it's the same thing but different this time and it's islands like it's
always islands like if they wanted like five years after the release they could just be like here's a
new island oh 100 and one thing they're really good about with uh gta 5 was jumping the console
generations like the the upgraded version for the ps5 like that that's a great game today you know
so even when the ps6 comes out in the ps7 they're just going to keep hopping and creating it for
the next game and updating the graphics and all that this game's going to last forever yeah i
think they'll do the same thing with the next red dead too i don't think they did a good enough job
of keeping it going i'm still not convinced there will be one there's going to be another one yes
that's so yeah people get confused red dead is the franchise yeah not red dead redemption right
there's red dead revolver red dead redemption red dead redemption 2 the next red dead does not need
to follow the story oh yeah vanderlyn so i've only played the redemption 1 and 2 i never played red
dead revolver well red dead revolvers ancient yeah that's like i don't even know what console
it's like the first batman yeah the christopher nolan ones were the the original ones like nobody
ever watched that one we'll start with the second one it's quite old yeah i remember yeah with that
was where like katie holmes was yeah yeah yeah i remember watching it being like this is good
but like so long ago a long time ago man i watched the michael keaton ones that's how we'll buy jack

his take on cm punk returning to wwe and how he feels about upcoming punk rollins feud um so
i don't know how dialed in you are on all the cm punk not dialed at all zero percent dialed so
a little over a decade ago cm punk was the hottest thing in wrestling um he had a huge falling out
with wwe a lot of that was health issues a lot of that was injuries a lot of that was complaints
um and they sent him his um they sent him his basically pink slip that he was fired
uh on his wedding day nice then he goes on a podcast uh with his friend colt cabana and
airs out all his grievances he gets sued colt cabana gets sued he said he would cover colt
cabana's legal fees i don't know if he ever did that they had a huge falling out
years and years and years later being away from wrestling he had a stupid ufc career that he
should have never done where he he's like i train mma sometimes and then he fought professional mma
fighters and they mauled him they like literally fed him to the worst guys in the division and he
got killed who is this cm punk he fought ufc he fought two ufc fights which is two more than he
should have got like in the ufc or just mma in the ufc oh wow i don't remember that he fought
uh mickey gall maybe it was only one he fought mickey gall and someone else i can't remember
he got killed um then a couple years ago three years ago or whatever it was he joins aew which
for lapsed wrestling fans that's like the new age wcw that for a while looked like it was genuinely
challenging wwe because vince mcmahon was ruining wwe and aew every week they were just getting
new talent cm pump comes back and and this is like like all five six whatever it is infinity
stones at once and the pop that he got for his return is like legendary people are crying in the
in the crowd and he had a few good parts to the run but it seemed like all the he was basically
like damn the man when it came to wwe so he was an aew yeah and he was an aew and then it seemed
like wwe uh like wwe was just like oh this guy has an ego he's a this he's a that he's a prima donna
whatever then all those things started to happen in aew where he's fighting with people in the
company there's rumors of fights backstage there's actual fights backstage he gets suspended other
people get suspended he's beefing with this guy he's beefing with that guy he's beefing live on
camera and everyone just sort of went you know what where there's smoke there's fire and this
isn't smoke this is billowing plumes um i think this guy might be a bit of a jerk finally leaves
aew gets his walking papers because he got into a fight with jungle boy jack perry who you might
know as um math no not matthew perry who's the guy from 90210 luke perry luke perry he's luke
perry's son no way yeah jungle boy jack perry is luke perry's son and uh so he finally leaves
and then he rejoins wwe and like they're selling shirts now that say hell froze over
because he was never going to return to wwe i think it's fine that he's there i hope it works
out there um but like there's something so icky about it to me there's something so icky about
him just going you know what forget it like everything i've ever believed in yeah and like
maybe maybe that's growth like maybe he's not holding on to these grudges forever and he's just
like you know he looked into the camera and he goes i'm not here to make friends i'm here to
make money and like i don't know like i know that's part of his character and everything i get
it secure the bag dude and like seeing him shake hands with triple h that's cool i guess because
they hated each other um but it's it's weird right now as a wrestling fan because wwe is so good and
it's so hot and a lot of that has to do with triple h but vince mcmahon is still there and
that man is very much a criminal and should be in prison and it's just hard to support or care about
any of that right okay jesse next question you're up oh i'm up i'm up again no steve just asked a
question i know but then i had asked the previous question no i went i asked gta oh yes cm punk and
then it's down the line favorite holiday no that's not it uh from emily 1717 i've always wondered has
adam seen hamilton if so how did he like it hamilton the play i have not seen it ah i have
not i've seen hamilton you would love it i'm sure i would hamilton's amazing all right you know it's
funny and i i hate to be a hipster about this but i'm going to be i took american history i think
steve was in that class in grade 10 and of world history i don't know about american of the founding
fathers alexander hamilton was always my favorite so it was really cool when they all right lin
i know i was like i'm like oh i'm paps blue ribbon of history here but i loved
alexander hamilton and i wrote papers on him because i thought he was so intelligent but
you should have wrote a play well because he's such a dramatic figure right and that's why i'm
so glad that they made the play i haven't had the chance to see it because every time it rolls
through town it's like oh well then uh you're having a baby or it's covid or you know whatever
else was going on and i don't think it's been back since covid so it was just here like i saw
it this year yeah so yeah i'd love to see it i maybe you guys can take me on a nice date sometime
yeah yeah i think it's out of town it's on disney plus now i haven't seen the disney plus version
like i don't i want to see it on stage yeah i don't know how it compares but i assume like the
live experience would be is better yeah and i like i remember i watched um what was the frankie
valley one frankie valley musical jersey boys jersey boys jersey boys is spectacular on the
stage the jersey boys movie is a fart um but the uh jersey because it's such a great musical
history piece of like the connections with the mafia and music in the 50s 60s and 70s and a
whole bunch of other things and um uh but man you got to see some of this some of these things are
literally meant for the stage so that's probably why i'll wait go ahead uh we'll we'll each do one
more okay we'll wrap up this is from where's the one i wanted to ask where's the quizzy oh here we
go i think it's on the paper hockey poo pants you have to make one meal to impress me what are you
making oh eggs benedict actually you know how i can make eggs benedict and i can make a mean
hollandaise sauce hollandaise sauce should be light and almost like like airy it shouldn't be
this thick heavy shit that you get at most restaurants i make a mean hollandaise i make
a mean eggs benny i love i know how to source good female bacon here in toronto i know where to go
like and get a freshly baked english muffin i know what st lawrence market is too i can poach
an egg any do you want it do you want it firm do you want it uh runny anyway you are you making
this for us i can't monday i can't monday before the show i can't you always got to focus on
breakfast everybody focuses on dinner breakfast good breakfast monday before the show i want it
and then my wife makes killer potatoes um like like you know the uh the breakfast potatoes
unbelievable none of those the cheap shitty ones you get from the frozen food section oh no you
can't just say breakfast potatoes are they home fries are they uh um hash brown hash browns they're
not ash browns i guess you would qualify them as home but home fries you gotta the key is they
gotta be cooked the day before um there's a full there's a whole process and then the next day they
gotta they have to be refried in a pan with paprika and some stuff on them because they
if if you don't do that uh i don't feel like you've gotten the best thing out of it i really
don't so my goodness my answer is mac and cheese are you a good mac i can make a good mac and
cheese and whatever meat you want in it so a non-box mac and cheese by the way oh no i'm getting
the the noodles oh my god i'm getting the cheese i'll do a couple different cheeses i'm thinking
about something real simple that i can hit out of the park okay so i have an answer but this has
been this has been a conflict in my brain okay and a conflict in my life and i need your input on it
sarah louise my wife says that i make uh she says that i make pasta better than her
typically like we're talking uh pasta with meat sauce or like something like a sausage penne
she's also a kindergarten teacher and i can't help but feel like she's just telling me i'm
good at something so that i do it so that she doesn't have to that i think i'm being trained
but also it gives me this confidence boost that i don't care listen there's nothing wrong with
with jumping in and and and listen it life is about perception so if your perception is that
you're great at it that's really all that matters whether whether you're doing the the meat sauce or
the the sausage penne um the key to basically making anything better butter yeah crazy isn't
it butter um yeah you could use olive oil you could use coconut oil um but i i do butter you
brown it off you drain it but you don't drain it too much they oh yeah you got to get rid of all
of it no you don't look at me well fed keep a little bit in there uh then you put the sauce
you season it right a little bit of salt pepper some italiano seasoning is really good in there
too um i like a little bit of crushed garlic um in there uh and oh a key to a really good marinara
sauce yeah cream although that makes sense put in a little bit of cream um stir that up real good
make yourself a good dinner i like that all right all right i want you to make that for us sometime
you guys i will i absolutely i don't believe you're either of you are gonna make your delicious
foods so no i'll make you delicious food i'll make it delicious i'm not making it here though
steve asked the why not we have a kitchen oh we do have a kitchen yeah i'm making here i will
absolutely make i want to smell delicious all right all right all right last question on that
page you should ask that one wow uh if you could there's no name here i wrote it oh you wrote it
okay well from jesse blake if you could go back in time and give your 22 year old self
100 000 or the chance of a coin flip and if the coin lands on heads you get 20 million dollars
but if it's tails you get nothing would you give your 18 year old oh sorry 22 22 year old self
the 100k or the coin flip so i have an answer immediately uh i would give myself the i would
give my 22 year old self the coin flip because it would give my 22 year old self the greatest
odds of failure um i would not give my 22 year old self 100 000 i would not give my 22 year old
sell 5 000 much less 20 million uh listen this is this let me be grandpa for a sec here sit on my
knee everyone let me tell you a story um there have been so many things in my life that i have
been eager for and uh so many things that i've tried to get tried to accomplish that i failed at
um professionally and personally there have been so many things that i've wanted sooner than i got
them or achieve them and every single time uh i've gotten them it hasn't taken me very long to
be like thank god i didn't get this earlier thank god i wanted to become a father a lot earlier than
i did thank god i didn't you know i uh wanted to uh have a youtube channel that actually made it
possible for it to not be a hobby and rather be an income and it took like a decade to get it even
sort of there and thank god i didn't get it sooner dude 22 year old me was fucking stupid
i wouldn't give him money i would have drank it all you're also at 22 you're also giving him
20 million 20 million okay 20 million's a little different because like i don't know i don't know
i'm i'm too simple to have found a way to spend 20 million adam what's your answer i think i might
have found a way though so it's a tough question because i i tend to be a bit of a gambler on on
that stuff like i would i'd usually you know the i don't think we're gonna do the flip by the way
if you guys i don't think i'd be able to live with myself um i would have been able to do something
with 100 100 grand at 22 i'm different than steve i already had i'd already lived in two different
three different provinces i still lived at home i uh yeah i had i was a couple years away from
buying my first condo like i was not uh i was actually pretty fiscally responsible and have
been most of my life so i think i would have been good with the 100k um and the 20 million is where
things would have got out of control uh so i would still give myself the coin flip you had driven a
spaceship because i would never forgive myself for not attempting it i feel like oh so you're
not 100k is makeable 20 million for most people is just not in the budget for their life so 100
grand it will take a lot a long time to make it i would say give him the coin flip at a 20 million
and uh that 20 million for me needs to come with a money manager who literally takes the money out
of my hands you cannot have it only a little bit of interest is released each year yeah but you
must keep at 22 you're saying that now at 22 are you responsible enough to say that yes because my
answer is i've taken the 100k because i do not trust myself with 20 million i can't take the
risk that i'd get 20 million dollars because i feel like i'd die i would i would do something
so stupid with that money that i probably wouldn't be alive adam would have adam is an old enough
soul that he would have thought that way at 22 yeah i would i believe him i would have done it
and i and i say that because um i was saving for my first place when i was 20 and that's that's
just where i was so i would have said i knew i knew enough about money back then that i would
been like turn this over to somebody who knows what to do with it because i i'm not keeping that
in my bank account that would be bad news so that that's what i would say now you would give yourself
100 100k jesse what would you do with that 100k at 22 probably blow it probably like i probably
spend it all on stupid stuff oh i buy like a a hundred thousand dollar car and i owed money on
it you know i would like it would be ridiculous i would have told like everyone i know hey i i got
a hundred thousand dollars yeah some wizard and i'd give them all 10k yeah like yeah no that's
why i can't take 20 million dollars dude that's what i did with uh my uh friggin um my nike uh
not money my um part of my agreement with them is i got uh three thousand dollars worth of nike
stuff um like a year and uh i just gave it all to my friends but your logic is that you
taken the 20 million coin flip
because you can't even get 100?
No, I would have given myself the
20 million coin flip in hopes that
I would lose the coin flip and get
nothing because I was such a
fucking idiot at that age.
Which one do you want to be heads?
Which one do you want to be tails? I think heads is the NHL
logo. Heads is NHL logo.
Tails is Leafs
Happy Holidays 2009. Steve will do your
flip first. If it lands on heads
of the NHL logo, you get 20 million.
If it's Leafs logo, you get nothing.
Maybe do it on the table.
I don't want to damage the table.
That's fair.
Yeah.
You ready?
Yeah.
Whoa.
Oh.
It landed on the NHL logo.
That's $20 million.
Oh, no.
My life is ruined.
