man is that not the most leafy start to a season you've ever seen in your life
it's about right though team that they should absolutely destroy they lose three two team that
they might struggle against because they're a much better team probably a playoff team
even though they're missing a couple key players,
do pretty well.
You think the Caps are a better team?
Better than Montreal.
Oh.
Oh.
Okay.
I was about to say.
Better than the Leafs?
No.
You phrased it funny.
Okay.
Woo.
Woo.
Let's start in Montreal.
Let's start Montreal where the Leafs have bad D,
good forwards, and an okay goalie.
Are you going to delay the start by like 30 minutes
so that we'll actually start our conversation
like 20 minutes into when we were supposed to start?
Listen.
i don't want to say that the haves have lost their touch with their opening game ceremonies
oh wait yes they do montreal opening game ceremonies are no longer great
make montreal opening ceremonies great again it was one bad it was no longer what it was
it was a snore it was a snore except for the carrie price moment and all they had to do was
just bring out carrie price wave to the crowd okay here's the torch let's go that's the thing
they didn't have to i think that all could have been rectified by not bringing all the scratches
out individually um one it took entirely too wrong uh too long two the scratches were not
into it at all um no they weren't it was why would they be they're not they're not selling
the sizzle there at all it was exclusively for carrie price that moment but like poor jonathan
drew in yeah that's humiliating and he's the first guy out too he was well he was one of them i don't
know and he was scratched that day hours before game time they say oh healthy scratch jonathan
drew in and then you bring him out on the ice he's supposed to be happy about this that's not a good
moment and like i like i saw you know people were criticizing the habs and dumping on them for it
and they're talking about the prestige of the organization and the origins of the torch and
i understand all that but that particular moment was it's pure humiliation um so i i didn't i
didn't like that at all i don't see like what's wrong with having the players come on the ice
with a carpet and just going down the line one by one why do they all got to walk out
like the most bored wwe superstars of all time like with the hockey players guys the charisma is
lacking in
hockey land anyway.
And that's why it's super weird that
you would bring out the scratches
because they'd be the most upset of the people
who have no charisma. Yeah, the people who run
this thing and planned it should know that.
As a Twitter moment,
Carey Price's moment was fantastic.
As a broadcasting moment, it was awful.
Yeah. They spent
like 10 minutes on the scratches.
Come on. The game started,
it was supposed to be a 7pm puck drop.
The game dropped the puck at
7 24 well 707 seven oh yeah that's seven minutes awesome so why if you're gonna do all this say
you want to go through with you bring out the healthy scratches and you didn't smack down
friday night you know you want to bring them out like that why not start that ceremony at 6 45
for the in arena people if that's the moment you want for all of them to yes yes i agree and then
leave it off the broadcast and then we all get our game at 7 10 or something i disagree because
you have to get the cary price moment on tv leave it for the last part yeah for when the broadcast
joins i don't disagree with that if you want that there then show it on the broadcast when you join
that's seven what's this thing where all the games are now going to end at 10 30 like what the hell
was last night too i know producer drew is is he's gonna protest yeah for sure it was a 7 30 start
so then we and then we had the leafs have their pre-game thing so then we get the set of the 10
30 and yeah and listen i understand you got it you got to announce the coach staff you got to
announce all the play the players who are dressed but that's where you do it that's where you leave
it and then can i throw it out there i don't know that you do right i don't know that you do i think
everybody deserves their moment in the sun oh yeah everyone loves it and leafs assistant coach
manny melhotra just stares daggers down the camera like cj was joking on the chris johnson
show that they were gonna announce julian and say oh and we have our reporters that have left
for calgary julian mcgusty you didn't need to announce the guy who sells popcorn in 104 there's
listen great moments carrie price for montreal i thought rodion amirov last night was a wonderful
touch but yeah man entirely too long entirely yeah and and i i get that there's the torch thing
but it is a bit cheesy and it it just it fell flat fell super flat and i know if you were there
it was probably emotional because you're riding high off the price stuff but you have to admit
the rest of it wasn't great i don't mind the torch everything else took too long okay i shouldn't be
bored yeah i don't think any habs fans were bored yeah the least one i was still bored the least one
was boring it was it always is though it always is but what what happens if they bring out the
arkells i hadn't thought about that the arkells what if they're not available and they gotta
bring out the truth oh yeah i listen like i don't know well it's funny i feel like the leafs are too
far in the other direction oh yeah here's john tavaris yeah they do they are a little mechanical
about it like at least the habs are trying yes the leafs are like here's a flashlight
uh here's that guy here's that guy here's that guy here's the starting lineup play the fucking
game it's very toronto it's it it sums up the toronto culture versus the montreal culture
because montreal culture you're montreal they always kind of say like montreal is like the
swashbuckling fun sibling swash and swashbuckling they're pirates are and then but but then uh
Toronto's like the accountant, you know?
It's like, please, let's...
He does the finances for the pirate ship.
That's right, yes.
Pays for some of the pirate ship, honestly.
A doubloon counter.
That's right.
It was like John Tavares directed that opening ceremony.
You know, he sat there in the PR room and was like,
guys, we...
And John Tavares' lunch, kale.
I'm still waiting for that damn Sportsnet video to come out.
There's something...
I'm going to tease this.
There's something in John Tavares' house
that i'm fairly certain he's the only person on earth who has i bet he grows kale i bet he grows
kale you're on the right track because i see it on the kardashians because now i watch the
kardashians he grows kale in a fridge they have a fridge just for their vegetables where they
grow them you're even closer than you were before wow so he might not be the only person who has it
no maybe it's not a fridge i don't know if you grow vegetables in a fridge don't have this
okay they don't have this really i don't think so they they might i don't think when does it
come out this video i don't know i gotta talk to someone i'm dying for you all to know all right
because it's the john tavaris deus um the game itself uh montreal yeah some of the some of the
highlights and lowlights obviously uh it is dennis maligan season uh get on board no no no
steve you invented something new oh oh yeah the malgan beehive
I literally just saw people talking about it on twitter like so it's like beyonce but
no no it's it's like you're rihanna with the daniel navy and dennis malgan is beyonce with the
with the beehive malg hive like no it's i just saw people basically people who like dennis malgan
are embracing the fact that they're insufferable nerds and so am i i'm embracing the fact that
i'm an insufferable nerd and he's scored in his first game and that's hilarious and it means he's
going to work the entire season with john tavaris and william nylander we're going to ignore the
fact that jimmy vc also scored in his first game on that line we're just going to ignore it it
didn't happen proof that it works what i'm referencing is in your lfr to uh stamp the
point down you rode leo's little b toy yeah for the dennis malgan beehive and that will be the
last time because like it wasn't great no he's a child and that's what the toy is built for and
i'm a grown man and we'll break it i think that you need to do it he did it you know what i think
you need to commit to doing it again i get what every time he scores yeah no because what if he's
great this that's the mistake i made with clark macarthur because they signed him for nothing
and i'm like okay i'm gonna pull out the sword that my dad made when he was bored at work long
story every time clark mcarthur scores and then he scored in like his first four games
and i was just now i'm like committed to doing this bit and i think you have a line steve yeah
the sword say it peasant yeah and he scored like 20 goals yeah he was great that was yeah him
coolman and grabovsky yeah the best second line in hockey when the leaves didn't have a very good
first there it is it was awkward watching you on the little b thing because at some point you
couldn't even see the b that's why i had to hoist it up yeah it just looked like it just looks like
you were grinding the carpet getting down yeah and maybe i was you know you need it was a good
moment for game one thank you for getting the b thing i'm sorry but you have to did you watch
yesterday's no i haven't had a chance it's i was drenched by the end yeah you can see it people
were saying you were in mid-season form yeah because your lighting is amazing you can see
every crevice in your face and all the sweat which i don't like but apparently you do so
it's very good good for all of you uh it's a very leafy thing for them to tie tie it up with a minute
50 to go and then jake muzzin to just dump an absolute pizza right up the center of the ice
as though he's never played defense before but it's okay justin hall drops into the butterfly
like he's never played defense before and matt murray jumps the wrong way like a soccer goalie
because he can't see the frigging thing.
He's also never played goalie before.
Really, I don't blame him for that goal.
I really don't.
Yeah.
That should never have happened.
We had possession of the puck.
Stop it down, look around, make a decision,
but not that decision.
Both he and Samsonov, I would say,
allowed at least one goal each.
That they shouldn't have.
That they shouldn't have.
Did you see the Luke Fox stat from last night?
Which one?
The high danger scoring chances in the first period.
We're 11-0 for Toronto.
The score was 2-1 Washington.
Wow.
Wow.
But for the Montreal game, like, it was Muzzin and Hall had a bad game overall.
They were shocking.
One through three periods, they were awful.
And the top line.
I'm not letting them off the hook.
But let's start with Muzzin and Hall here.
Let's focus on Muzzin and Hall.
Because every time I bring something up, you guys,
and what about this?
And I'm like, can we just focus on the thing for a second?
Well, I'm in mid-season form, which is derailing everything.
Justin Hall like everybody
Who criticized him throughout the playoffs
Like that was their like celebration
Moment they're like look I didn't do that
Do you notice did I do anything
I did not do that I didn't do that
I don't celebrate I don't want him to
I want to celebrate Justin Hall not doing well
The anti-Hall hive
No I want him to be great
I want him to be Norris Caliber that's what I'm hoping for
Hell yeah I want him to be the guy
But I'm realistic about it
I wish like if you could
just get one version
of one player on this team
to make them a cup-caliber team?
Do we get four-goal
Austin Matthews? No.
Do we get, like, Spinarama
past Mitch Marner? No.
We get Justin Hall
for those three consecutive games against
Edmonton during the bubble year.
And they win the cup
in four sweeps.
A sweep of sweeps.
Yep. No question.
But I think Justin Hall's gonna be fine in the end.
Oh, yeah.
The one bad game.
So one thing that I noticed with the Leafs, and a few people pointed this out too,
is that they were very aggressive from the defensive, like the defense.
Like Muzzin had a breakaway.
First game or?
First game.
Montreal.
Muzzin, man, if you see him at the face-off dot or lower, he's shooting.
And I can't help but wonder if they had a more mobile guy in his spot.
Yeah.
If they'd be able to generate more.
And again, we're saying this about the Montreal game and the Montreal game alone, because I'm aware that Holland Muzzin had a good game last night, obviously, because it was a bit of a redemption arc for them. And it's the first game versus the second game. And I get that. I get that. But I think at a certain point, we are probably going to have to have the discussion, not yet, about Jake Muzzin.
and maybe that it isn't his fault that he's not performing at the same level that he was three
years ago he's had some pretty heinous injuries and the leafs keep putting him out there like
he's the player that he was in 2020 and 2019 well and it i didn't it didn't instill confidence that
before this season when he missed some time no no i don't have a back injury i just have chronic
back issues and i'm like oh man um oh that's a problem that's not it's hard listen players need
a lot of maintenance and you know i've heard rumors over the years of this this player requires
a lot of maintenance that player requires a lot of maintenance that this player was like he could
barely walk between playoff games he'd go to the chiropractor and then he's fine and then he's able
to get out there and every every player has their thing to get through but you know you know what i
was thinking last night when they were losing
because I, I think, I think grumpy thoughts
when the Leafs are losing.
And I think honest thoughts and sometimes
they conflict, but CJ sat right there and he
was talking about the tough decisions the
Leafs might have to make this off season, as
in this off season, this previous summer.
And he talked about the, the tough decisions
they're going to have to make.
And they didn't make frigging one of them.
that's a good point they didn't make one of them and the big one was supposed to be muzzin
and they didn't pull the trigger on it they could have so they better figure it out with him
because they've now they've made the decision that they have to figure it out with him they've
made the decision that like what is his trade value going to be higher this offseason no
you know i was and i was thinking like okay what if sandin has this you know big coming out party
and he has this great season and it pushes hall down the lineup and then imagine you have like
you know you have riley brody a a much improved sandin lilligren gets healthy and then you can
have like muzzin giordano oh i love that delicious you know something like that that could work but
But if Muzzin, I want to see Sandin promoted, not Muzzin demoted.
And I hope the Leafs didn't make the wrong decision in keeping this guy.
Absolutely.
And it's fair to ask the question, but we can't come to any conclusions on that.
We're going to know probably 40, 50 games in.
You're also paying Muzzin too much to be your third pairing defenseman.
You are, but you may not have given yourself the choice.
I think they knew the $0.6 million for the third pair.
The back half of that deal was always going to kind of suck.
That's the summer's problem.
that's the summer's problem mid-season if it's a great third pair i don't care yeah that's a good
point um come summer yeah no absolutely that's way too much money it you know november december
january i don't i don't give a shit win games so we've said all that to say this versus washington
muzzin and hall owned over 70 percent of the game's five on five expected goals when they
were on the ice hooray so we've seen the duality of what they can do and you can say hey the right
the excuse is it's game one it's and the and montreal almost lulled them to sleep with that
uh with that opener i i think i think at the end of the day we don't know and that was kept that
was a stat kevin petty collected by the way with the athletic just throwing that out there um but
that is it's one of those things that that um i'll be keeping an eye on i think you gotta i think
you gotta watch that if you're looking at a very good team and we said this in some of the previews
it's like you're looking at a very good team instead of looking for reasons why they will win
sometimes you're almost looking for reasons why they won't what could go wrong almost right
because this is a very good team i i think game one can be summarized uh this simply the leafs
played good hockey bad and the habs played bad hockey good um the leafs were sloppy and all over
the place and not connecting passes and they weren't getting shots through and they weren't
creative and they weren't executing the montreal canadians played randy carlisle hockey 280 and
Nailed it.
They got in front of everything.
And their penalty kill got in front of everything.
They were forcing shots to the outside.
And Jake Allen was big when he had to be.
And every now and then, odd man rush is going to squeak the other way.
And you better have shooters who can finish.
And they do.
The Habs won game one the way they're going to have to win every game.
I would have liked to see Matt Murray make a save or two.
I agree.
A couple more.
All right.
Well, yeah.
it was a bit of a jack camberley game uh because you're like okay well that goal against sucked
but he also had this save which was actually very good the one he the one off the line too
was amazing timely yeah like uh so i'm not i'm not gonna judge him too much based on that but uh
what's john tortorella's quote from when he had i think it was uh it was a john graham as a
starting goalie huh after after riding nikolai habibulin to a stanley cup he's it'd be nice to
get a goddamn occasional safe and i i think back to and it's another early season game i think back
to that seven six uh overtime catastrophe in chicago where the leafs eventually won but after
matthews does the ear thing chicago ties it on their next shot and it's like garrett like i don't
care what the defense did in front of you like yeah did they help you out did they put you in a
position to succeed maybe they didn't are they thin ultimately maybe i need a damn save yeah i
need a damn save there garrett sparks sparks was in that he was in that game yeah that was his
first game of the season hell of a precedent oh my god yeah i don't i didn't remember that
oh i i did damn what it definitely wasn't freddie it was uh yeah that was that was sparks and
you know hell of a it's an unfortunate debut for murray but i want to say this because samsonov
allowed i i know there was zero high danger chances in the first i think the first one
borderline the the second one was shit that was a terrible goal but then after that second goal
he doesn't allow a goal right and i think that's very important and leafs fans leafs fans can
maybe take a lesson from oilers fans because i don't know if you caught the oilers first game
in the season against the Canucks.
Jack Campbell allowed two goals
in his first four shots
and they were down 3-0.
How did that game end?
The Oilers stormed back.
Jack Campbell laid a hit.
That's all anybody remembers.
All anybody remembers
is a cool moment from Jack Campbell.
McDavid had a hat trick.
Oilers win.
Yeah, and the Oilers won.
Samsonov shut the door
after a shitty first period
and the Leafs won.
What else do you want?
so if we're if we're you know going to be accused of going too hard on them in one direction i think
if you give the leaf some grace hey they won absolutely one absolutely goalie one yeah and
i liked how transparent he was post game because he gave an interview uh i think he was just talking
to scrum and he was like i was nervous at the beginning and after that second goal i was like
oh i need to get everything together i have a quote sure you're nervous your reaction is slow
You're moving bad
Does that sum it up any better than that
You're moving bad
His English is heartwarming
Thank you defense
Do you have the rest of it
He said it was a lot of emotion
That part
He talks about the second goal
After that second goal
He says I needed to change a few things
And then after that there was no more goals
That's great
I was very happy with his performance
Even though that second goal was bad
shut the door after Tavares has started the season with a goal and two assists
looking really good looking really good Willie too is it is it KL redemption this year even though
he was a point of game player last year apparently he was bad it's I don't know uh you know come on
we're all forgetting about the driver of all this and that's Dennis Mulligan
it's Dennis Mulligan you know driving it all and like thank goodness uh because the Leafs could be
deep deep into oh and two territory if that second line isn't as good as it is that top line
struggled second game was better second game was better they were there it was better but
they allowed bunting was a bit of a passenger last night but but they got benched at the other
first one yeah he's having a tough start he has he's having a bit even though he scored the
eight-year contract he's waiting on he's not kidding that's a little unfair um but i was
joking he was out of position on the
Hathaway one yeah and it's it's a half
measure right if you're gonna go after a
guy for hitting your team's best player
confetti gloves who stop in the play
immediately grab the guy pinata him do
whatever you got to do don't miss the
hit and have it lead to a goal yep which
is exactly what happened the stinger I
think it was a Haley Salvian speaking of
the first line there and the top line
struggling in her report cards for monday or the first game wednesday uh she wrote that like
austin matthews's bar is domination like the bar he set is you're gonna take over the game
occasionally and score a crazy goal and you're gonna look dominant and he wasn't that no so
that's a failure on austin matthews's part when that's the bar of what we expect for
the reigning heart trophy winner to be dominant in every single game but that's what he was in
the third game winning goal baby yeah like uh i've said this for years about this leaf steam
help is not on the way and uh like after the first period you know oh you know guys are taking runs
at austin matthews do they call up wayne simmons and i'm like jesus lord help is not on the way
it's not coming
put up your hands
and fight
fight for your life
stick up for yourself
to party
and Matthews
runs over a guy
like I love
when he remembers
he's 6'3, 220
yes
oh yeah
yeah
it is kind of fun
when he throws it
absolutely
yes
yes
and if that's the precedent
that he's going to set
for the rest of the season
hell yeah
and if you're a leaf
on the bench don't you feel like a bit of a putz if you're not doing the exact same thing yes you
do if matthews is having to do it yes you do yeah oh holy shit well and listen this guy scored 60
goals last year and he's our resident uh guy trucker yeah yeah like i i need to be better
i also think that there's you know there's i mean we saw it in the montreal game but there's a
tendency when the leafs do get a little heated of being like i'm gonna slash you and take a dumb
penalty yeah and and so and you're right so when when when you if you are gonna confetti gloves
make sure like do it like you mean it or don't do it yeah commit yeah we haven't even talked
about the penalties four straight yeah right against the league you're just not gonna end
the game it was fucking ridiculous three straight uh three straight in the third how many penalties
over two games nine yeah the least i gotta be like that first one the first one against montreal
with giordano i'm like come on mark right yeah like that is clearly a penalty every every day
it was it was i i look at that as less of a dumb penalty and more of either a bad read or poor
positioning because he took a penalty that basically saved the leafs from a very advantageous
odd man rush maybe even a breakaway um so the mistake was made before the penalty if that makes
sense um but yeah like some of those were fucking bad they are bad and the leafs are the kings of
bad penalties they do take stupid effing penalties yeah they do like i wasn't one i thought was a
little yeah and you you tweeted something out that i loved i forget which game it was but you're like
every time they call a pick you think of or they don't call a pick you think of justin hall in the
playoffs last year that was uh arbor jack guy on alex kerfoot and you know i had i had a little
bit of pushback against it but now i i can't help but notice every single one and you notice how
often it happens and like is it or isn't it a thing well this one led to a goal that's not
how it works is it or is it that's not how it works yeah yep nine penalties in two games that's
a lot that's bad uh yeah cali aren't croaks go to pretty nice school too that third line's not
looking so bad alex her foot is the most frustrating player in the world man is he good when he's good
he's good when he's good and he's uh he is the he does so no one does more nothing
when he's bad you mean he's like invisible in crate no he's extremely visible when he's bad
he's he's a he's like a brilliant uh a brilliant drawing with a white marker
he skates around a lot there's a lot of movement from kerfoot and he's doing a lot
of nothing well in the leafs front office does like people to keep their skates moving and he
does do that he keeps his skates friggin moving and often it leads to wonderful things like the
game tying goal last night and other times it leads to nothing he's uh also dumb penalty taker
from last night right uh i don't remember his i believe he took one that was another thing that
i pointed out in my obey kubel is the one i think you're talking about interference on uh jordan
harris was that in the third that was kerfoot uh in the second period last night or in montreal
that was a bad one yeah they're calling they call those man they call those now they set that
precedent last year and i guess it's a new season but you found out didn't you so you took did they
take four in a row in the third period against montreal four to end the game last night but it
was three in the third and the one at the end of the second oh yeah didn't they take three to start
the game in montreal yeah three or four to start the game it was like that's you can't start in
montreal correct all four of the guys who took the four consecutive penalties last night kill
penalty oh it's yeah so there there's definitely some wrinkles with this team but i said this is
gonna be a tough october and honestly i'm not worried like we say all this but like are you
worried i'm not worried we forget that they also struggled to start last season do you remember
the game oh the first time chicago game where everything was going down with cal beach and
like how could they go in there and the fans aren't even going to be in the stadium and then
the Leafs went in there and I think they won in overtime but the Chicago Blackhawks were at the
time like the worst team in National Hockey League and that was amongst the Leafs's awful
start to the year I can't remember but it's a borderline annual tradition of going into Chicago
in your first five games and playing like shit yeah and then they ended up with 115 points as
in their best in ever in franchise history after a bad start that was the rational thought pointed
out by the chris johnston show that i listened to on the way here god i love that who the hell
are those guys great they're wonderful the trash the trash with the chocolate bar it's a slow
starting steam team and i hope that they don't keep that up like i hope they get some more wins
here in october there were moments for concern moments uh you know to build off of on to game
three absolutely do you think uh shelving keith should have went to the media and said i'm
disappointing the guys no i think he needed to do that yeah yeah i want the leafs accountable
you know what toronto's this big bad market to play in um method act this year play the part
um and and what what what drew that thought out of me was people like and i myself thought this
why is eli simsonov's first game as a toronto maple leaf against his former team because we're
this year uh it's an 82 game season and to start the season we're gonna throw all the end the pool
and the ones who float will be on the team come playoff and murray's gonna play his first hockey
night in canada as a leaf i think his first home against ottawa against ottawa let's see if he
floats let's see if he floats oh you were you they said you had an unacceptable effort which you did
um like what are we asking sheldon keith to do to lie no i thought we're great yeah and while
the players would have appreciated i don't give a shit what the players would have appreciated
i would have appreciated if they won game seven which year take your pick win win like this is
this is your find a fucking way year find a way find a way you're you're you're playing against
your former team you got the butterflies you're getting shit on in the media find a way
I'm beyond I'm beyond caring win for me here these this game last night was the first of four at home
ones versus Ottawa ones versus Arizona and the other ones versus Dallas I think you have to come
out of that three and one you got to find you you took one that's great get two more and I agree
with you a little stretch I think you're absolutely right I mean you know one of the one of the things
Babcock said that I did like was you know home games are supposed to be free win night
basically i don't know if i'm paraphrasing i might be paraphrasing them right but uh yeah
you should be the favorite in both those games and you need to bank those points before you go
on the road yep yeah it's honestly like again we're breaking down the first two games of the
year so if you're listening to this going well it seems overreaction well i think sometimes when
you have a podcast you do need to do that and and i and i don't know if we're overreacting so much
it's like we're breaking down what is happening and we have a full view to this team could win
the president's trophy i think we have a very accurate reaction i don't think it's over or
under yeah one like i think there's just so much of toronto and so much of leafs nation that it
gets focused on how's new jersey feeling today you know oh yeah breakout team breakout team got
their asses kicked Ottawa
by who
Philly
Philly went out there and put five
goals up which as soon as I saw
JVR suit I'm like they're winning
they're winning this game Mackenzie Blackwood
wasn't the greatest allowing
four goals on 24 shots
you need to save and
and Ottawa
you know big offseason
they got their asses kicked
in a weirdly
mean and aggressive game
Against the Sabres
Buffalo looked a little dangerous
It was fun
That actually doesn't surprise me
Because Buffalo
Is a little bit more
What Buffalo was last year
That's going to take time
I wasn't doing that face
For the Ottawa Senators
But anyway, let's get it in
You can bet that
Sports Interaction Canada's Sportsbook
Presents You Can Bet That
With David Bastl
Must be 19 plus
Please play responsibly

His name is Dave Bastl

But they are playing
Jesse's pick
At sportsinteraction.com
Slash
S-T-P-N
To win the Stanley Cup
Rangers
Jets
Rangers on the second half
Of a back-to-back
They are
Interesting
Wow
Stanley Cup
Actually you know what
It's not bad
And you probably got
Pretty good value
Because that number
Is going to keep on
Going lower and lower
Because there's a lot
Of hype around New York
And what they might do
During the regular season
As far as
Look after
superstar players that are leaving
fumbling teams.
We've talked about that in the past,
but you know what?
Yaroslav Halak starts for the Rangers tonight.
Obviously, the backup goaltender of the two.
A capable backup, definitely,
but you know what?
Jets' slight favorites in sports interaction.
Good value on the Rangers
if you're thinking they're going to go 3-0
to start the year,
which they're more than capable of doing
because they are that good of a team.
You're telling me
I can get the best team
in the National Hockey League
as an underdog tonight?
underdog wow with a noted alan walsh client in net oh yeah easy win easy win right wow
well it's your third game in four nights um
not too concerned seven goals last night they left some in the tank for tonight
i'll set you i'll send you a text tonight
i'm one of those friends yeah no no no i'm just joking we also have battle of ontario and battle
of alberta we'll start with ontario because let's be honest it's more important wow um wow sends and
leaves saturday night what do we got dave like that was that was adam wild that's for clarity
yeah thank you for that i'm just a guest i'm just a guest so uh yeah matt murray revenge game how
about that eh huh yeah you guys are gonna be talking about that i'm looking forward to that
that should be fun ottawa kind of i don't know i don't kind of look like ottawa against the
Buffalo Sabres. I was kind of surprised
by that, but nonetheless,
these two teams get up for one another.
It should be a lot of fun. And then the Battle of Alberta
right after. So you're looking at
arguably the best kind of Saturday night you could
have when you look at the doubleheaders back-to-back
for Canadian teams, rivalries,
provincial ones as well. Add to the
mix. Good way to start the year.
I gotta ask you. Bank your picks now.
Who are you taking? Toronto or
Ottawa?
Just straight up Toronto.
Yeah.
win the game yeah toronto because i'm not gonna cheer against myself yeah you're right okay me too
although man when they play ottawa and they play montreal bad things happen i know all right now
more importantly and i want everybody to weigh in on this because uh it's important flames and
oilers who do you pick in that battle it's the first of three that's all they're gonna play each
other this year what do you got i got my answer what do you got oh boy i think the oilers are
feeling better about themselves
after their win than Calgary.
So you're saying Oilers?
Yes. Okay. Hubie doobie
doo! Let's go Calgary Flames!
Dave, who would you go with?
Who's your pick on that one? I got
the Calgary Flames as well.
I'm still trying to figure out how
Edmonton took care of business last year
during the playoffs because that was like
whitewashing and I was like, really?
That's what they did to the Flames? I think the Flames are the better
team. I think the Flames have the better goaltending
as well. I
I'm going to go with the Edmonton Oilers
because Jack Campbell took out somebody with his full body
after allowing two goals
on his first four shots going down 3-0
and they won anyway
the Oilers in a nutshell
hey Dave thanks so much
for your time today and we will see you
next week next Monday
awesome looking forward to it have a nice weekend
when you're a mid-sized
business you need every competitive
advantage you can get like an
AI solution that works for you
not against you sap grow is built with ai embedded at its core working across every system and it's
ready to go from day one so you can hit the ground running bring it with sap grow ai cloud erp for
any size business listen you guys can say whatever you want to say but last night nick ritchie was
the third star okay he was the third star he had both of arizona's goals against uh pittsburgh
and so i just need you to know in a 6-2 game nick ritchie was the third star dude he's done well
there he's done well in arizona don't don't don't you dare diss those coyotes all i'm saying is
remember i said i drafted sydney crosby in fantasy happy boy yeah you happy happy boy right here
jesse did you how much of the uh and tyler sagan got me three assists holy shit jesse's throwing
up by the way he's throwing up clips of the freaking rangers games now like he's like i've
always been here my people what are you talking about new york always been mine just uh they had
a really good game last night you know you're you're that will sasso sketch i which one is that
i'm trying to was it will sasso you're gonna start using the word bodega like any any day now
you're a fake new yorker i went to this little bodega called circle k you know got me some
ketchup chips uh the new york rangers are absolutely on fire putting up seven goals
yeah second game of the year they've looked absolutely there's there's nothing because adam
your criticism of the rangers was like oh how could they uh keep this up and they repeat if
igor stands on his head you know if he doesn't do that anymore how are they ever going to do that
well when they score seven goals they don't need an all-world goaltender i and the offense is
Yes. Absolutely clicking. That is true.
Laugh looks great. Yeah.
I mean, it's too early in the
season, but we're talking about President's
Trophy picks.
They look pretty good.
Okay. They look pretty good. The two of you
have not made your Stanley Cup picks.
Oh. Do I got it?
Right now?
Like right this minute.
Who do you think is going to win the
2023 Stanley Cup? Adam
Wilde?
2023 Stanley Cup, I
am going to give to
you ready?
New Jersey Devils.
New Jersey Devils, no.
I think I'm going to give it to the Calgary
Flames, guys.
That's not a terrible pick. I'm picking the Calgary
Flames. And I think the reason is
there's a lot of good vibes. The V-Bays
are strong. And I think
that they're a little pissed off about what happened last
year. Like, if you look at this,
oh, they beat the defending Stanley Cup champion
Colorado Avalanche. Suck on that, Producer Drew.
um and and i think here's the crazy thing is is they didn't you know some of their stars scored
like lindholm but they weren't relying on all big names here to score that is a deep scary team and
i don't think anybody's picking them maybe there's a reason why maybe i'm an idiot but i feel like
that team is good enough to be a final 14 minimum should be a final 14 they should compete with and
i know elliot friedman picked the oilers to win the cup i think he's crazy i think it's calgary
Flames, guys. Top to bottom, that's a strong team.
Who's your pick?
You just gave me a look.
You say the Leafs.
What am I thinking right now?
Because I think you know
what I'm thinking. It's something about Calgary, right?
No.
No? What am I thinking?
Say it.
Guys, New York looks really good.
No!
Boo! Get out of here!
Let's go!
let's go new york concrete jungle where dreams are made wet dream tomato that's right that's right
i forgot about that uh hey can i just be the one to say i never liked that song
oh it's it's such a that one song it's meh it's meh for a pop song oh yeah i mean really don't
you don't have that empire state of mind i guess i don't i got that jay-z doesn't write his raps
down i got that no but what if you did i got the olympics yeah when he was calling himself the
greatest rapper alive i was like okay let's let's gear down a little you guys make very
the alive is a very important distinction yes yes well lil wayne was doing the same thing at
the same time and lil wayne had it on his stage we said greatest rapper alive in flames and like
absolutely the fuck no i know i know i know if you've ever heard of lowe wayne's rock album though
that's a one for the ages prom queen it's it's bad jay-z's got a lot of a lot of albums i know
i mean lowe wayne's rock oh no i know um who's just in the cutback i think it might be no
i think it might be no you guys need a you are a bandwagoner welcome aboard it's you know so
not me though i've been here i'm looking at yes it's early season results right but
we put too much stock into how good igor shisterkin is and not enough stock in the
staggering firepower that team has but okay goals go away in the playoffs a little bit
the game changes and it becomes a little bit rougher and a little bit more defensive
i think they can do that but so can calgary so can calgary oh dude would anyone be shocked to
see a rangers flames final i don't think so no that would make a lot of sense i don't think so
if they well assuming calgary doesn't go we don't we forgot how to play hockey in the second round
against the others because they're gonna meet again that was the weirdest one of the weirdest
series i've ever seen and it was so anti daryl setter like that's not how he has his team's play
they blew a a six six one lead and then but still one but it was bad yeah it was just very strange
so to your point uh one thing i was looking at because i i picked up a lot of uh rangers players
in fantasy obviously because i'm riding them i think they're gonna be very one mistake i should
i should have got more so i have uh i have panarin and i think i've cried her uh you got both yeah
in my four groups i went hard so and they so they go against tampa uh versus tampa they get a goal
from uh gudro zabinajad they win 3-1 next night they put up seven goals neither zabinajad or
gudro score they get goals from the other parts of the lineup and it's so dangerous because it's
not about the goaltending this year it's about this firepower in the top three lines where
everyone can score goals mike rupp losing his mind last night about capo caco oh yeah laugh
looks good and then uh and then you have adam fox who's gonna be in contention every single
year with kale mccarr for the next decade but those two go one to one about who's the best
defenseman in the league man ah and then you have ugor which is the side note i think mccarr's got
that wrapped up but it's up to adam fox to prove us all wrong wouldn't it be funny if adam fox
lost the stanley cup to the calgary flames oh i forgot about that wouldn't that be hilarious
the team that drafted him team he refused to play yeah that was a big thing that's a big thing that
no one made a big thing of at the time no and no one i would love to go back and re-examine what
the hell happened there the rangers are adam fox's third nhl team yeah who carolina too carolina
Because they traded him to Carolina
And then the Carolina traded him to New York
Yeah and I don't think he
I'm not sure he ever played a game for Carolina
I don't remember
Because it was the
Who was the guy that they traded
It was the guy that the Leafs almost selected the defenseman
That they got for Fox
Calgary got for Fox what's his name
I don't remember oh Schillingson
No no come on guys
Was Dougie Hamilton involved
Oh Hannafin
It was the Hannafin box
Because Hannafin came
And then Fox went to New York
Why don't we just look it up
I like this better
Because Fox was like a third round pick
Oh god
They look really good
Like I'm trying to think of teams who are going to do well in the regular season
But that's the story for me
I want Adam Fox to come in
If it can't be the Leafs
Because it can't
Just so you know
I want Adam Fox to have to play in Calgary
And watch the
watch the flames hoist hoist hoist him on his own guitar dougie hamilton being involved in this all
right so um hamilton the original trade was the calgary flames traded adam fox dougie hamilton
and michael ferlin to carolina for elias lindholm and noah hannifin that's one hell of a blockbuster
it's a good trade if you keep fox yeah and the carolina and people forget how good ferlin was
too yeah he was good carolina traded adam fox to new york for a second round pick a second round
pick and that was it oh not their wow and then uh the devon taves get shit on this one's worse
the two second round picks became mad so guard and uh my favorite mads noel gunler i have my
favorite gunler i assume they're both gonna be like future 35 goal scorers because carol that's
oh carolina does yeah oh that guy will score 30 goals let's go very york uh won that trade so far
very good player very good player very good player yeah new york got a norris winner out of it i yeah
they won they won um i you're welcome rangers fans because now the steve dangle podcast has
daily rangers updates steve dangle podcast official podcast of your new york
let's go bodegas i'm square bodegas the m&m store can we rodway um what else lady liberty
lady liberty the biggest serving of pasta ever at carmines um uh they don't have pizza
no no they have a slice they have a slice also as long as we're talking about slang
Jesse, I don't know what you're talking about
The Rangers scored
7 goals
I don't understand
Oh you mean they put up a 7 spot
Is that a thing?
They put up a 7 spot
So that's the new
Thing, I don't know when everyone
Decided to say that when it came to hockey
I'd like to bring us back on track for a minute
Back on track suit
You two are out of control today
You're out of fucking control
and we need to have a show and i'm trying to get through some shit and you guys are just
off in your own whatever steve has some smarts which are the hell is going on over there with
you too but i we got to bring him back and we got to talk about this jesse steve you guys are
going to a hockey game don't even look at my computer don't even look you're going to a hockey
game who's paying oh um me for mine and jesse for his because we're adults okay all right or
i'll pay with the understanding that next game we go to yeah you pay like rounds at a bar okay or
you do the thing where it's like your your buddy's tickets you're like oh i have season tickets i'll
bring you to the game and then i buy the beer for you right and then i end up spending like 40 bucks
and beer and then we're so like not even but that's what producer drew and i did so let's do
that yeah that's what i did with who's got the leaf season tickets here me in this argument yeah
so jesse yeah steve says to you at the in the first period you know i'd really i'm kind of
hungry i really really i'm feeling like something salty like popcorn i love smashing a bag of
popcorn right well how about a bucket of popcorn oh and jesse goes and he goes like okay you know
what jesse jesse's a smart guy right jesse knows from countless dates and countless dates with
steve and i that popcorn makes you thirsty so you want to drink something with right okay this
popcorn is making me thirsty i don't know what that's time but i know that it's for it's
pretzels oh that's it's a show that takes place in new york oh there were uh there are quite a
couple episodes in rangers games you know tourists okay so so jesse goes to the the stand where you
know that he gets up out of his seat and he goes and he grabs popcorn but he's like i'm not gonna
share a bag with steve steve's a grown man he can eat his own bag or his own bucket in this case
And we're going to get two drinks too
Because Jesse wants popcorn, Steve wants popcorn
Two drinks
And he's got to get the custom made bucket for his hands
Yeah the souvenir bucket
And don't be goofy about this
Seriously
How much would you estimate that cost
Like two things of popcorn
Like this
The souvenir bucket
Those are like 18 bucks
Not a piece
18 bucks a piece
I told you to be serious about it
And it's not a souvenir bucket by the way
it's a bag it's a paper bag yeah sure yeah or it's or it's a cardboard no the ones at the roger
center are seriously 15 dollars okay ones with the blue jays okay well it's not it's not one of
those it's not like a leafs thing that's fair those are those are more expensive i'm talking
about a bucket that is it looks like a gigantic coffee cup all right oh 10 bucks 20 well because
it's two big bags of popcorn and two drinks what kind of is it beer or a soda soda soda okay yeah
that drops the price what if i don't drink soda just fucking go with it you have to i'm so upset
with this you drove i like the sani yeah yeah you want to decide okay you can have it just
go ahead go ahead i wanted to slot it you can okay so i'm regretting coming to this game
so the two popcorns are 10 each and then the drinks are i don't know six five so so 10 each
we're looking at i don't know 30 bucks 30 bucks 30 dollars for two fountain pepsis and two
popcorns at the oilers game without tax 36 dollars and 50 cents without tax if you had said to jesse
jesse can i have a cheeseburger no fries no fries with a fountain pop okay so a pepsi because they
of pepsi products they don't even have dasani they they have dasani's oh dasani's coca-cola
then aquafina yeah and i'll throw this out there okay burger horrible hockey game food
yeah it's a terrible hockey game because you gotta eat it in your folding chair and get
shit all over you yeah no put that in the good takes file yeah you get chicken fingers or
something yeah you can eat with your hands easily people get upset when i say that the sushi at the
scotia mangarina is bad i think it's actually really good you've never been more wrong and
and it's so easy to eat it's like little chopsticks i don't think i've ever had it
oh it's delicious i love sushi i love sushi i was like i'll eat sushi any day sushi you get
at like metro no it's at the oh the bento box yeah it's elevated bento they made it that night
it's not gas station sushi i love a bento box they make bento the day of too yeah
so the home style cheeseburger with a fountain pop not a beer
22 flat for a burger flat no but there's no fries for a burger and a drink for a burger and sugar
water carbonated sugar water i need to know how much a beer is um for a beef sandwich and you
gotta remember alberta beef is the greatest and a beer a draft beer so a domestic 30 dollars and
come on holy all right now you guys mentioned earlier so you're if you wanted to eat something
you guys want to have dinner what would you both order you just both mentioned something
outside the arena yeah um like chicken fingers bingo yeah chicken fingers so chicken fingers
and fries with a beer chicken fingers you have to remember are just pieces of chicken
breaded and fries are potatoes cut up and fried it's child they're extremely cheap to make it's
Child food.
$30.
For chicken fingers and fries.
And a beer.
And a beer.
Now, if you wanted to get-
Which costs more?
Now, if you guys were both bad take food kings at the arena in Edmondson, and you both wanted
burgers because you're crazy, because you're right.
Two burgers.
Two burgers and two fountain drinks and some Lay's chips.
And it's those bags of Lay's chips you get on Halloween that are always just a third
full.
They're mostly air.
You ever open one that had nothing?
Yes, I have.
The Humpty Dumpty ones I opened, they had nothing.
The worst offenders.
The worst.
Easily the worst offenders.
Yeah, they're like, just seal it up.
Who cares?
Some kid's going to cry about it.
Who cares?
Screw Timmy.
For two cheeseburgers, two Lay's chips, and two Fountain Pops.
What do you think?
I think you should tell us.
$55.
Go to jail!
Go to jail now!
No fries.
Is it wrong that this makes me feel bad
Because they're gouging
Their fans and their customers
Because once you're in the arena
If you want to eat
You have to buy something
It's Harold Ballard energy
Yeah this is so mean
Some of you are going to be confused
Because we guessed
$30 for the popcorn and drinks
That's all
You're not
You're never happy about the arena price
So that's our probably over-the-top guess of what we would expect the high end to be
that we would be grumpy about.
And it's more!
Right.
At 30, I would have been upset.
Holy cow!
That's rude and disrespectful.
Your cheapest option on the menu for a combo on this particular menu is an all-beef hot dog,
which is basically the leftover meat.
They put it into a stick and put it on a cheap bun.
and then they give you a beer too 20 bucks 20 75 for a hot dog and a beer 20 i'd fight them
tooth and nail the average the average what like like minimum wage in in ontario you'd have to
work over an hour you have to work an hour and a half to afford that with that oh shit it's like
15 bucks now dude that is that is crazy is that the worst in the league i don't i don't know
because you'd have to have somebody who was able to to dig up 32 arena prices and we still don't
know what the coyotes is because they're not done like toronto's bad toronto yes yes toronto's bad
i bet new york's bad bet boston's bad so i'm on the scotia bank arena site and i was trying to
see if they had the prices but they just list what foods they have they don't have the actual
prices of the food you have to be in the arena and take pictures yeah they don't want to get
twittered like i did yeah well somebody took a picture of it so and then here's here's the fun
thing apparently jerseys are expensive at the uh at the team store more expensive than other teams
and now if you want to watch anything oilers including the press conferences you have to pay
is it $8.99 or $7.99 a month for oilers plus now if you're not familiar with what oilers plus is
it's everything to do with the oilers digitally but you got to pay a subscription fee which is
the same subscription fee that you paid for netflix 10 years ago uh and you're getting
not did we open pandora's box what do you mean like with netflix and like oh yeah this is great
and oh there's this other one oh that's great and then there's this and that's great and all
of a sudden you're subscribed to 20
damn things for
$9.99 a month
and you're paying $20
bajillion yearly
for everything. I am
not.
I will die
before I pay
for post-game press conferences.
You'll have to take me
to jail. You'll have to kill me.
$9
a month?
You'll have to kill me
If you want to charge me
For post game press conferences
You're going to have to kill me
That's the girl
Who was like trying to break up with her boyfriend
Yeah
Or something
I don't remember
I didn't watch the show
I saw it in passing when SL watched it
Compare and contrast this with the Flames
Who started last night by saying
and this thanks is all thanks to a tweet from pete blackburn um the first 5 000 fans is ages 18
plus in attendance tomorrow will receive one complimentary domestic 14 ounce draft beer
where's this calgary oh nice because the edmonton thing went viral so the flames are like yeah
is that legal in alberta it is in ontario that would not be legal because you're not allowed to
you you're not to give out beer on the street and stuff if they have like a uh muskoka brewery
truck like handing out free beers you have to give them like a penny yeah you know you can't
you can't induce uh you can't induce drinking whereas in alberta it's like well you're an adult
that's the one like alberta alberta has some crazy shit happening let's not lie here but to be honest
with you when it comes to their liquor laws they're like you're an adult take care of yourself well i
i've told the story before but in saskatchewan when you're leaving a restaurant you can be like
and also i'll take like a jug of beer to go yeah a jug yep a big and it's crazy because the world
hasn't ended out there all right it's very weird it's wild that the world hasn't ended europe is
cool for the you can have takeaway beer you know you can't do a glass but you can do a plastic cup
and you just fucking drink on the street it's like when they when they when they legalized
drinking before noon in ontario which was years ago at the airport that was a big thing and then
now they've now it's 24 hours you can get a drink at any time at the airport and like that was like
a big to-do two years ago pre-pandemic nobody remembers that now because it's pre-pandemic
because at 8 59 you can't get a drink nine o'clock you can't or you could anyway and then now they
still like it's you're still not allowed to drink but for a certain time except when the olympics
are happening and they change the law so that you can open the bar say the team canada games
happening at 9 a.m they'll change the law for that day so that you can drink at 9 a.m in a bar
favorite it's fucking stupid favorite east coaster story i ever uh heard is two newfoundlanders this
is a real story uh we're in a airport in halifax and the guy goes you want to get a beer and the
guy goes what it's 10 30 he's like yeah it's 11 back home yeah they're half an hour different
from everybody else it's 11 back home it's fine that's good except said with the newfoundlander
um dude that is that's wild really really bad and that's they already charge fans to stand in the
concourse oh yeah do they still do they do that during the regular season as well guys i don't
know i don't know like i understand paying for that i i understand that a little bit standing
in the concourse um during the playoffs and just wanting to be a part of the energy i totally get
i understand that more than 9.99 a month to watch the post gamers and they go to jail if you've ever
watched a post game for anyone for some reason no team has yet figured out how to use a microphone
on the person asking the question so for whatever reason you'll hear uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh yeah well
chris you know the thing is uh we really believe in such and such player and uh we think he's great
and you're like what the who asked that i'm assuming that cj i don't know and and what are
they talking about no idea no fucking clue at no point has anybody said you know what let's bring
on an intern who's in the media department let's pay them a rate and let's have them go through
the audience to go here's the microphone here's the microphone and make them watchable it's
impossible no couldn't i bet the oilers didn't either you can't listen i you're listening to
one-sided conversation the entire time there for 10 for 9.99 a month that person better be the rock
should we talk about how we did that how on the wednesday show we talked about the rock
and then all of a sudden he's at a leaf can we talk about the rock on wednesday yeah a lot we
you told the whole story about uh wrestlemania yeah and then we also talked about how he was
corny and all this so you were at wrestlemania 18 can you describe what it was like there
you're you're mean adam sometimes you have the memory of a goldfish i know i know
you've always known that can we can we play the rock can we play the rock yeah from the game i
don't know it's on their instagram if you say no if you hear us if you hear us wondering about this
the problem we have is that if we play the wrong audio from the wrong source we could get a
copyright strike yeah and then that could put our channel into jeopardy we don't want to do that
but we used to be able to run like audio from uh shows that were on like like we used to be able
to take audio from uh press press conferences uh audio from tv shows that were like in intermission
we'd be able to play a clip or something like that we used to do that in the early days and now
we just the rules have been so tightened that you it's like well no that's part of our broadcast
you can't have that even if it's for news purposes which is weird because on the radio i can play
whatever i want because it's considered for news purposes but you can't do it in this in this
particular instance i don't know jesse has it up but hopefully not on the screen because this this
i think would be this would fall under um it's their copyright like even though we're in arena
production but when you put it on twitter what's supposed to happen is it becomes a part of the
public domain you're not supposed to actually once everything that makes it to twitter that
is officially posted is supposed to be okay that's now twitter's and twitter makes that the public
i mean that's how instagram looks at it too leafs in arena host scott i love scotty with with the
scotty willits baby hardest handshake of all time with the rock just because you have to he also has
a good solid handshake in general he well and just i i feel like enough time has passed i can tell
this story one time outside of gracie o'malley's i i met a friend and oh steve what are you doing
here and I'm, you know, I've been having a great
night. I'm like, hey man, it's great to see you.
He's like, oh, I gotta introduce you. And I'm like,
what? To Brett Laurie.
Like from the Blue Jays? What? Oh.
And I was like, what the, hey
man. And he was
jacked about something.
Really happy about life. And I
dapped him up at least eight times.
Really? Like just, and
he, every time he body
checked me and I
felt my organs
slosh into each other.
And he is
maybe a third of the size of The Rock?
Yeah.
The Rock's quite big. Look at that giant man.
You guys
have talked about The Rock being
at Scotiabank Arena last night to promote Black Adam.
In front of the millions!
Oh, you left me hanging.
And you have yet to mention
that he got the chant wrong.
Let's go Leafs!
Let's go Leafs!
And in the most Canadian moment
never 20 000 people in unison went that's not what it is let's go leafs let's we were too polite
to correct dwayne the rock johnson and we all chanted his wrong chant did you guys not lose it
watching that last night i laughed my ass off it was so funny i was it was i was very caught off
guard and i love matthew's account of it which is what the fuck that's the rock i none of the
players knew and that's why they won last ilya samsonov did not know who the rock was i i want
to believe him no he's mike stevens said that's fair yeah you don't everybody doesn't know
everybody no it's true i remember one time everybody doesn't know everybody i can't know
the rock by accident yeah no you would think that he would know a little i remember um uh uh you
guys know the artist zed the the dj uh yeah yeah clarity clarity yeah it was his big hit but he's
also done a ton of production whatever so he came into kiss when i worked at kiss early on and that
was just when clarity had come out so he's just you know rising and he's producing lady gaga's
album and that's gonna go there's a lot going on and my co-host at the time made a simpsons
reference and i laughed and i forget what the reference was and he looked he's like i'm sorry
guys i don't know what's going on and and my co-host looks at me he's like oh it's the it's
the simpsons and zed's like i grew up in eastern europe we never got to watch that oh wow oh wow
i was like oh yeah yeah so i can i could see it man the simpsons something we take but like
yeah what do you mean you've never seen jumanji
what do you mean you've never seen jumanji the new one
no one saw that we need to show him jumanji the new one i thought
somebody could have given the rock a heads up that the chant is go leafs go
no it's much much better i bet he's the star of jumanji
got the chant wrong in front of 20 000 people and 20 000 people just went along with it right
you know you know what i loved about disney i loved about disney's jumanji is how much
different it was than disney's jungle cruise which was also a rock movie we'd mentioned
now we're getting back to the exact same conversation sorry it's like wrestlemania 18
when he fought hulk hogan adam do you know a thing or two and one was supposed to be the good
guy and the other was supposed to be the bad guy and toronto said i put my thing down flip it and
reverse it and cheered for the wrong guy but it ended up being the right guy little did we know
at the time that jumanji the new one the new one would be out in 15 years we didn't know i thought
that was a line you took from someone i know i think we uh marginal movie at best i honestly
think we manifested this a leaf's podcast spent 10 minutes talking about the rock and then a day
later he's at and would we be a leaf's podcast if we didn't immediately take credit for it we did
we did this it's us well done guys hit me we did it all right what's next i don't know what is next
the hell you guys want to talk about making fun of me for telling my stories okay i'm not the only
one on this show who repeats shit all right 10 years i've been doing this show i got limited
stories all right we put out over 130 episodes last season adam what what do you want to talk
What do you want to talk about?
What do you want to talk about?
