This is Jake and Smallwood, and you're listening to the Steve Dangle Podcast. with your hosts, Steve Dangle and Adam Wild. Hi, everybody. Is this thing on? I hope it works. This is Steve Dangle of the Panagol Pizza Steve Dangle Podcast. Young Jesse Blake asked me to record an intro, so this is what I'm doing. I'm doing it with my face in the phone. I'm in my blue room in famous Oshawa, Ontario, home of the generals. It's nice. How are you? How was your holiday?

How was your new year? I hope it was good. I hope you weren't that hungover. This is a good tip for those of you who are new to hangovers. Water, that much is obvious, and bananas. Don't ask how. It just works. Trust me.

Water and bananas. What do we got going on? What has happened? Oh, my goodness. We had the winter. No, we didn't. We had the Centennial Classic. That was fun.

Oh, my God. Got to do the alumni game. Got to talk to, geez, some names I remember from my childhood. Dimitri Yuskevich, Brian McCabe, Dave Anderchuk, and obviously my dad to go along with my other dad, James Reimer, Felix Potvin. That was awesome. And you can see some of those clips up on sportsnet.ca on my blog there. Should have another video or blog coming out because I got more quotes from those guys than I could possibly use in that video. And obviously the Leafs were doing really well and then they were doing really poorly and then they won the thing so we were all happy about

that um the world juniors i wanted to say a quick note about the world juniors before i actually let you get into the good enjoyable stuff um instead of my stupid rambling ass uh so a lot of people were dumping on montreal because oh it was so poorly attended the canada czech republic game now I think they did a good job of building up the world juniors over the years but how did they build it up well they had some classic games over the years Canada versus the states was a big one for a very long time Canada versus Russia is a heated rivalry Canada versus Sweden was maybe a little bigger a couple years back but it's still pretty large but they never quite built one with Finland definitely not the Czech Republic Slovakia I kind of think for a lot of world junior fans

because, again, you guys are the top 1% who listen to this, but I think it's more casual fans that the World Juniors depend on, and it's hard to get people jacked up for, hey, you want to go watch Canada beat the Czech Republic? Okay, okay. Yeah, that's awesome. Name three players on that team. You can't do it.

But I hope you enjoy the World Juniors. I hope you enjoy the Leafs' five-game win. I don't know. I don't know. You might hear this, and the Leafs will have lost. So, I mean, I'm not going to jinx it. I'm not going to Dangle jinx it. I'm not going to say Ovechkin's going to score six points and hit 1,000.

Oh, my God! I think I just need to let Jesse take it from here. Thank you so much, Steve. Really appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule. That was Steve Dangle of the Steve Dangle Pan and Go Pizza, Steve Dangle Podcast, and of Sportsnet.ca, and of YouTube, and of Twitter. and Instagram, and wherever else you can find Steve Dangle, that was him. And he recorded a little message for the Dangle Navy with a little take on the World Juniors, and I really appreciate

you taking the time out of your day to do that for me, Steve. Appreciate it. As you can tell, my parents have left me. It's producer Jesse all alone in the studio. They tasked me with putting together a best of episode for you guys, and that's what I've done. So that's what you're about to hear. You're going to hear us ripping the Steve Forrest James Reimer figurine. You're going to hear Nick Kiprios telling a story about the China Club, Mark Messier, Turning Down Steve, Narcity Listergals, What's Up in Lividge, Bobby Nixberger, and a whole bunch of great, amazing clips from Fall 2016 Pinnacle Pizza podcast. You're going to hear another one of these best ofs on Thursday. And I apologize if I sound a little stuffed up and a little low on

energy because i'm very sick right now and i'm powering through this and hopefully we can get to this these clips soon so i can stop talking but first i have to mention that january 14th january 14th we are invading london ontario for another hockey night in cinema that's not this saturday it's next saturday so there might be still room to get some tickets i'm not sure if the tickets are already sold out well it's a free event if all the tickets are taken already but hit up event bright or steve's twitter if you go on eventbrite and just search up hockey night in cinema it'll pop up you'll see it and check to see if there's any more tickets if you want us if you want to see us in london um we really want to have you out there we love these events it'll be great

it'll be a great time there'll be lots of free pizza and we'll watch the leafs play uh I sorry I got a little distracted because it's 2-1 Leafs yes who just scored I'm sorry that's not good radio but someone just scored Leafs vs Washington and I'm so happy um so we're gonna get into this best of oh no one's here to stop me to do some hot takes so Austin Matthews is the second best player in the NHL behind Sidney Crosby I learned that on Saturday during the Centennial Classic when he scored that OT winning goal. No one else is in this room,

so my take must be correct. Austin Matthews, second best player in the NHL. I love him. Here are the best of clips. I'm just going to let him run through. I'll see you on Thursday, everyone. Go Leafs! When he plays his first NHL game, people are going to want a Matthews

jersey, and they're going to want to know what freaking number to have on it. It better be 34. It better be 34. I sure hope it is. So 34 can finally be elevated to the level of excellence where it should have always been. You know how many Leaf fans want to buy your rights? Don't make fun of me. Don't make fun of James.

You do have a Reimer jersey, right? No. You don't? No. What kind of fan are you? He has lots of dangle jerseys. He does, yeah. He's got a couch made of a dangle jersey.

It's a chair. How long you play for the Leafs, Steve? My whole life! Now that's a jersey foul. You know, James Reimer? How is that a jersey foul? It's a jersey foul for you personally. I have a James Reimer...

That'd be like me not having a Doug Gilmore jersey. I have a James Reimer hockey figure that I paid $60 for. Don't you tell me I don't have a James Reimer jersey. Did you pay for that at the height of the James Reimer market? It's a rare jersey. No, it's a rare figure they only made a certain number of. Don't laugh at me! And my feelings!

You paid $60 for a jersey. I'm sure everybody's going to watch that. I paid for it! With all the money I saved and all the free shit I've got, Adam! The fruits of my free shit getting labor! Why did you pay so much? Eat it!

Why did you pay so much? Because I love him! And now he's gone! Jesse, you know, when the day comes... You think I don't know that? When the market on James Reimer... rare figurines your boat's coming in Steve

so when you resell that in 15 years and you make back your $60 it's gonna be good I can't wait to get your wedding invite Adam and just respond go fuck yourself I can't wait I can't wait

do you own any other expensive figurines I have a Darby Henderson rare victory Darby Henderson Darby Henderson did not just sign a five year contract

with the Florida Panthers how much did your Matt Stajan figure in I don't have a Matt Stajan figure he is still playing by the way

he's had a hell of a career don't you sell me the name of Matt Stajan was that $45 no I'd pay more than that I got this wicked Dimitri Khristich card.

By the way, did you get a Matt Finn one? Oh, good one, good one. He never even played in the NHL, Jesse. Steve. Do you want to tell the class about your latest purchase? What?

Do you want to tell the class about your latest purchase? You can do it in the Ultimate Warrior voice if you want. My latest purchase? Your doll. You didn't buy that. It's not a fucking doll!

it's a figure it's a doll it's a figure you didn't buy your latest one yeah I did oh I thought your mother

picked that one up oh the card the Phil Kessel card oh this is the card yeah she got me yeah like oh she got you Phil Kessel card

okay that's nice cute little mom acceptable totally acceptable I bought a Josh Donaldson figure uh huh and I also bought

a Team North America Aaron Eckblad figure from Toys R Us which was Which I wasn't that embarrassed to do Until they asked me if I wanted a gift receipt Which I did not need Because I was not giving this to a child

I was giving it to myself These two figures combined, by the way Were less than $60 I was going to say How much did you pay for your not-rare-air-and-egg-flag? They were $20 each Why air-and-egg-flag? Because I

You know my weird thing that I do where I have a picture with someone and then I put the figure underneath them? I have a picture with Aaron Eckblad. Okay, okay. Hold on. Hold on. So, Jesse.

Jesse. Fuck you. Fuck you both. Steve paid for a rare... Steve just threw this at me. A rare James Reimer figurine, but the not rare, only going to wear this jersey once,

Aaron Eckblad probably going to the Hall of Fame. I know that's a bit early. That's not how rarity works, Adam. they only made a certain amount of the fucking things what about that who you get go ahead

and try to go buy a James Reimer figure oh are they hard to find yeah that's why it's so expensive I think the point I think there's a lot of people looking for them

I think that's the point it's desirability I think James Reimer's mother probably yeah aunt, uncle hey there Dave and Steve Dangle

hey there Fest Chuck that's like you guys are bullies this is what you are you could not go much lower than that by the way that's a hell of a name to call somebody.

I have a Vesa Toskala figure that I bought for $4. Don't you tell me that's worth it. that you can't go lower than that. No, no, no. Calling me Vestruck. I said,

that's a hell of a name to call someone. Right? Right? The Vesa Toskala at $4, I'd be like, yeah, it's a pretty square deal.

I'd buy that and then give it to Steve. Yeah. If I didn't have that figure, I would buy it again today. I would. The James Reimer one? Yes.

Okay, what's the max you would pay for that? $1,000. I don't think I've seen Jesse laugh like this in a long time that is the definition of fuck you money I would buy it for a thousand dollars just to say fuck you to the both of you

how dare you it's James it's my James it's my Jim Jimmy and by the way April Reimer if you're listening and we know you have she has turned this off long ago because I've just been swearing

for at least 10 minutes now. I'm sure she's heard all those words before. Let me just say that none of this is an indictment on James Reimer, the person or the player

he was for the Leafs. He should have always been the starter. But, I don't even know if James Reimer would pay $60 for his own figure, man.

No, he wouldn't because he would give that to like starving kids or some charity because he was an amazing human being. Well, so they could eat it. That's good.

I'm sure he'd give that to a starving child. Here, here's the... Here's the kids that are going to eat money. Or a figure. Whatever you were saying. Would he give them a framed picture of himself too?

Like, here, look, I know you're starving. He's not a man of wax. He doesn't have pictures of himself in his trunk that he signs for $20. He's a magic angel robot from Winnipeg. And if they weren't in the Atlantic Division, I would be cheering for the Florida Panthers to win a Stanley Cup. Just to show you what's what. Just to show you what's what.

I can't wait until James Ryan was a Stanley Cup champion. I can't fucking wait. he was close with the Sharks if they had him and that instead of Jones they would have won

I know that's not true but I said it fuck okay if you keep moving around the mic like that people are gonna go off the show

us people are still listening that was very very you know we haven't had a good one of those like I think all summer we've always had people on and we've been very well behaved.

Yeah, because you guys were pretending to be my friends all summer. Steve bought a new doll. We should bring this. Yeah, it arrived from Toys R Us. Yeah. Mrs. Daniels was very impressed.

Toys R Us. You're still getting packages from Toys R Us. Max Patch ready figure. I need it. I need it. Why? Because it's got to go in the room.

Because he's met Max Patch ready. Because I met him and I got a picture with him. Is that a reason to need a doll of a person? It is. And I tell you what, I counted how many dolls

I had the other day just so I could tell you guys. Oh, I can't wait to be told off by how many dolls you have. No, because I just want to see how much you'll judge me because you were judging me so much by having like two the last show. Do you want to know how many I actually have?

How many dolls do you actually have? I want you to take a guess. I'm going to say 20. 43. 43. Survey says 46. Oh, wow. Wow.

And those are the ones that I've paid for. I have a couple other free ones. If each of those dolls each of those dolls was glad you asked that 20 bucks you're almost talking

that's 860 dollars yeah almost a thousand dollars in no that's 920 dollars 43 oh I said 43 times 20 oh yeah no

I guess don't don't uh multiply it by your wrong answer sorry although really close to right answer answer in the

in so some of them were less than 20 bucks a couple were more so I would say 20 is a decent average so yeah

we're closing in on about a thousand I thought it was interesting we got we did get a bunch of people tweeting us about there was a lot of a lot of support for you

last episode about how much you paid for that limited edition James Reimer now I say it's limited edition because there's lack of

an audience who would want to buy a James Reimer doll that's not how it works sort of how it's if there's only a hundred people

who buy it and you're only making $100, then you put limited edition on it so those 100 people want it more. Now, on Amazon, that James Reimer thing is $128. Did you know that? Yeah, I did,

because the fine people of Twitter showed me that. And I saw a few people who were selling it for less than what I paid. $20. Yes. Most, though, were about what I paid or more. So shove it!

Shove it, Adam Wilde and Jesse Blake! Now, does that mean we should shove it, Jesse? Or does that mean there are just a lot of people who don't make sense out there? I think it means that we make much better financial decisions than Steve Bangle. Than many out there. Yes. You bought William Nylander's jacket! I did, but I didn't, did I?

You thought about it. Mr. Toys R Us. You would have looked good in that jacket. I would have. That would have been a good purchase. You can't wear a James Reimer figurine. Once upon a time. Well, you could.

You could feed some starving kids with it. You could do this. I'll sell it! I bet you can sell it and then take the proceeds and use the funds to buy food for children. I'm sure. That's what I meant. I didn't mean to have the kids made into food, Sweeney Todd.

Damn it. One time, I opened a pack of hockey cards, and I found a card that I'd never seen this type of card before. It was Mark Savard on it, but the entire card was yellow. the entire card was yellow and there was just like an outline of him and the writing and what I

discovered was this was actually actually a printing plate card so what Upper Deck will do is they will take the plates that they use to make cards they have like I think I can't remember what the color scheme is it's four colors it's like yellow, red, blue

and something else I got the yellow one and he was with the Bruins at the time so it made it extra cool And that also meant That card was a one of a kind And you know what I got on eBay for that card $60 I got a free James Reimer figure

So shove it How much money did you spend On useless Tim Hortons hockey cards Those were only a dollar a pack How much Oh fuck I don't know I don't know $100

No not $100 $50 No, not $50. More. Probably $50. No, not $50. We actually had somebody tweet us and say, I spent $200. Oh, my shit.

You know what? Probably $50. Yeah, I ran around there. Because every day you'd come in here with like four packs. And that lasted for like a month. Steve, I think rather than making fun, I think it's time to acknowledge that you have a problem. Yeah? That you have a problem.

And what's that? Shitty friends? Should we do this now? We were planning on having an intervention. Yeah, so, I mean, I've got my note written up down here. In what ways does my doll collecting hurt you, Adam? Let me know! I just worry about your future children, who...

They will have so many toys! When they're on hoarders with you. They won't be allowed to play with any of them. They're going to be playing with plastic boxes and like... Oh yeah, and I'm just going to get 30 cats, collect those two, and just have them ruin my life. I'm going to be Will Ferrell from the Lego movie.

I'm going to have a house of toys and let my kids play with none of them. None of them. That was a good twist ending, by the way. That was a good twist ending. If they did Dream Sequence, I would have killed somebody. Anybody that does Dream Sequence, I wouldn't. That was the worst part about Batman vs. Superman.

The best part was the damn Dream Sequence. Oh my god, that movie was awful. Oh, the scene is so badass. Batman vs. Superman and the soldiers, the shooting, and then Dream Sequence. Not interested. Can I tell you this one China Club story? Will you?

Ty Domi's book, by the way, is full of them. Oh, I got a great one. I got a great one. Okay, so I'm with the Washington Capitals. And the place to be in New York in the early 90s was the China Club in the basement. For reference, I'm pretty sure this is where the Dave Chappelle, Rick James sketch happened. Happened in the China Club. Okay.

This is a place where Bruce Springsteen will walk in, have a few drinks. Next thing you know, he's jamming downstairs. That stuff happened all the time. So we got an off day the next day that I'm in with the Washington Capitals. And we're all like, boys, we've got to go to the China Club. We've got to go to the China Club. So there's like 10 of us go to the China Club on a Monday night. That was the hot night, Monday night.

so we get there there's a bit of a line up but you know big bouncer you know Washington Capitals yeah not impressed right says okay you know we'll let you know so we're all kind of just standing around

so now it's like half an hour nothing you know go back to him are we going to get in yeah you're going to get in you're going to get in just hold on guys NHL team hour hour nothing right And then finally Dale Hunter goes, boys, let's grease them up.

So we're all pitching in like $40, $50. No, no. Money grease, right? I was like, oh, my God. We're not beating up any bouncers, okay? We're even smart enough. We're like greasing up. So, like, we got, like, 500 bucks to give this bouncer.

Early 90s, right? So, he takes the money. No problem. He says, don't worry, I'll get you in. Wait another 15, 20 minutes. Finally, we get in, right? Hour and a half. And we think we're, like, the cat's meow in there.

You know, we're in the China Club. Woo! All right? So, years later, I get traded to the New York Rangers. Right? and of course you're with mess

slide right in no problem table he's the man he's the man so then we're sitting around the table

same bouncer comes down and he says Moose I got the St. Louis Blues outside he goes

he looks at his watch and goes another 40 minutes oh my god that's so impressive oh that's power that's so crazy what season was that what season was that that was uh the year mask uh got traded from Edmonton to New York. That was the first year.

Jesse, I want you to look up the list of players Messier made weight. Go look up his first year in New York. It might have been Brandon Shanahan. It would be the 93 St. Louis Blues. Yeah, so it would have been Brad Hall, Al McInnes, Chris Pronger. Curtis Joseph.

Curtis Joseph, yeah. That's amazing. And he just said, forget it. Who else, who else, who else we got? not yet not yet that was a good team too holy smokes

oh yeah wow now was this the night before a game or after oh gosh you're killing me right now no no

how about you remember your night oh my god it's great because if you're playing them the next day you go well I know they didn't even get in

until like 1130 oh yeah it's true I'm gonna assume it was after I would assume that St. Louis probably had an off day the next day

right that's my guess anyways but anyways that's the hottest club in New York that's amazing like you think about that that is

you're right that's real power especially in a city like New York where no one cares who you are in Shift Work Domi's book he's talking about during warm ups

Mario Lemieux and all the penguins are skating up to him going can you get us in now he thought they were kidding and then after the game he's like no for real

like can you get us in to the China Club it's Mario Lemieux that's right so Johnny B was the bouncer still friends with him today great guy

he's had a few bars auction house was the big one when we won the cup that's the first place that we took it to remember sitting there with Tim Robbins Tim Robbins Shawshank was out

and he's telling us you know decent actor you know I've never really name dropped in my life that's what I've been doing for the last hour to get into this place so I can see the Stanley Cup

wow he had to name drop to get in he says I don't name drop but I name dropped as many cops and security people as I could to come here and see the Stanley Cup that's amazing

we remember my say hi to Phil moment yes right oh yes we forgot this last time thank you Steve had his

almost say hi to Phil moment Steve I'm gonna let you set this up it's worse you think this is worse than say hi to Phil it's different

we're gonna leave it to Twitter and Reddit to figure that out I don't know if they're the same they're not the same yeah what's your favorite

this brand of Doritos or like vanilla ice cream yeah I like them for different reasons right okay um

met mark messier again met him for the second time the first time i met mark messier now i don't know if i ever told the story in the podcast but he was a rogers event and this was like a couple weeks before i started working for rogers i didn't even know um and there are cookies at this event some uh rogers shaped cookies like the the logo the game center live logo some like jerseys there are also stanley cup cookies with silver icing on them oh that's a nice touch delicious looking cookies i thought wouldn't it be funny to get mark messier a man synonymous with leadership and the stanley cup what does he have six stanley six of them captain two teams to the Stanley Cup.

Four cups with the Oilers. They trade Gretzky. Fifth cup with the Oilers. And he goes to the Rangers. Guess what?

Let's add another cup. And he calls it too. And he called it. He has an award with his face on it. At very least his name on it. Mark Messier award

for leadership and grit. And delicious chips. And delicious chips. Bet you can't win just one. And he won six. I was going there too, man. That felt good.

And we're the three best friends. So you got, so get back to the cookie. I go, Mr. Messier. Didn't even go with Mark. I'm 28 years old. I'm a grown ass man.

I get it. You can call him Mark. If you stand next to Mark Messier, you call him Mr. Messier. Call him Mr. Messier. Mr. Messier. Would you, Take a picture with this Stanley Cup cookie.

Maybe even hold it above your head. That's a cute picture. I think it's a cute picture. And he just goes, nope, nope, I don't do that. And does the stiff-lipped smile. This is my get-away-from-me smile. Yeah, okay, so that's your first meeting with Mark Mansfield. And I just went, oh, okay.

When was this? Thanks. This would have been September 2014. Is that when they got the rights, when Rogers got the rights? I think so. Okay. So you should have known that he's no fun. Now, though, Jesse.

It's been two years. He's no fun when it comes to Twitter pictures. But it's been two years. We're now at the Hockey Hall of Fame. Okay, what's going on at the Hockey Hall of Fame? Marc Messier got his own stamp. Get the hell out. Good for him.

Got his own stamp. He was one of six legendary forwards that Canada Post chose for a stamp. It's Mark Messier, Steve Eizerman, Phil Esposito, Guy Lafleur, Sidney Crosby. Sidney Crosby was one of them, and who's the other one I'm forgetting? Daryl Sittler, which is weird because I could have swore Daryl Sittler already had a stamp. Also, Sidney Crosby's still playing. When I saw the Penguins logo on the board, I'm like, and Mario, what? I told this to Adam actually when I saw that.

I was like, this is kind of weird. Why is Crosby? Hey, he's a living legend. You've got to have something current for the kids. Well, they're all also living. Yeah, but like a playing living. Oddly enough, the only player not in attendance. He was down the street.

Oh, he had things to do. Yeah, ain't nobody got time for stamps. By the way, I don't understand why they do that. Who cares? Shut up. They put the loon on the stamp. They put a deer on the stamp. People collect stamps.

Stop it. If you do. People collect stamps and they hold this event and every year I get to interview famous people. Do they give them away later on to feed the poor? anyway so so then you meet mark there we gotta hurry up yeah i'm running out of time i meet him there and i go you know what that was before this is now i got insider information i'm gonna ask mark messier about the china club because who said the china club is uh nick kiprios told a

great story about the china club if you haven't heard it go to the steve dangle podcast youtube channel we clip the story there for you or you could just go to the episode where watch it it's better because you get to see kiprios with his shoulders right by his ears going that's so impressive that's like the best reaction i've ever seen a grown man have like in adoration of another grown man um and so i'm like i'm gonna ask him about this and then what i think you're about to play happened i didn't know you got this part well you said you sent us i didn't realize i recorded that but oh so this is even worse now okay so but play that again play the first couple seconds again i i think i know where you're going here i guess you can so i start with sports net

and he goes i guess you can i as in like can i talk to you so i began with and i didn't record this part i guess i go uh can i ask you a few questions and he goes who are you with and i go sports net and his response was i guess you can you know why because he knows he remembers you wow i think he remembers absolutely no he remembers he's like this is the guy that asked me to hold a cookie above my head i'm not a clown no he saw him he's like this is just some internet dude or some guy who got in here clearly this guy lives in his mother's basement so yeah i you got uh you got these little press passes that you could clip onto whatever and i wasn't wearing it there you go and so he was just like who is the schmuck okay

and so we begin with what a great start can i ask you a few questions who are you with i'm with sportsnet i guess you can okay and he laughed but he wasn't kidding at all go ahead so i had uh oh So I had Nick Kiprios on my podcast recently, and he was telling some old Rangers stories. And he told this legendary story of one time he was in the China Club. The bouncer walks up to you, and he goes, I got the St. Louis Blues outside. And you said, eh, give it about 40 minutes. I don't recall that. But we always try to help each other out on or off the ice.

But Nick probably has a better memory than me, but I don't remember. You don't remember? Okay. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Oh, sports. Wow. And I wish there was a video. I wish there was a video of the face where he's just going,

I don't fucking ask me this. I regret ever saying yes. Get the fuck away from me, you little shit. He big-timed you so hard. Not even big-timed. Like, I've never felt so less than human

I've never felt so worthless I'm gonna throw talking to Mark I'm gonna throw a theory forward you didn't warm him up and you already

there was no time there was no time so it's gonna be one question right that's why you shouldn't have to well you do though no but Jesse

you do you shouldn't have to but you do so that's life right he's been at this shit since the early 80s get in get out

there's no I don't have time to warm him up like Jay Leno here's what I would've said Here's what I would have said. Ask him a couple sweet little questions. Is it an honor?

How great is this? You're on it. I was lucky to get one. He started with, I guess you can ask me questions. I think that's why, because I bet you, I bet you, if you give it, if you ask what an honor this is, because here's, I think where you lost him. I'm a grown ass man. I think where you lost him, and I'm just telling you as your friend, I think where you lost

him was Nick Kiprios was on my podcast. As soon as that. Should I have said show? Yes, yes. Soon as you say podcast, most people are like, illegitimate, don't care, you don't matter. And it's not anything. You know what, Adam?

No good person worth talking to thinks that way. You're 100% right. There's many who think that way and I don't want to talk to them. That is the second and last time I will talk to Marc Messier. Wow. What, he gives a shit? But it's like... He doesn't want to be talked to.

He just doesn't want to be talked to in that context. And I'm not trying to rip on him. Some people don't like being interviewed, and that's okay. It's like, I was kind of tweeting back and forth with people about this today. If I walk into the Leafs room today for interviews, I'm going to Morgan Rielly, I'm going to Nazem Kadri. And that's it. I'm not going to bug Austin Matthews, because Austin Matthews isn't going to give me anything.

Yeah, I'll go to Brooks-like, for sure. For a good quote. For a good quote. JVR, actually. Yeah, he's all right. He's okay. I'm not going to Austin Matthews. Austin Matthews isn't going to give me anything.

For the same reason, like, I wouldn't have gone up to Phil Kessel when he was a Leaf. Not because I think he's a dick. No. I just know he's not going to give me anything. We kept saying, what does Phil Kessel give you when you talk to Phil Kessel? Nothing. And that's okay. But it's, it's, so, yeah.

And Adam, you know what? I didn't have to warm up Guy Lafleur. I didn't have to warm up Phil Esposito. They were warm. They were warm already. I'm just saying. And I asked them more questions. Adam.

I'm just saying, I interview people every day, guys. Every single day. And I know you do too. I know. I'm just saying. And I'm not criticizing you. I understand the situation. However, I feel like you ran into a guy who maybe just didn't want to talk to anyone that day.

Fine. You're at a public event. That day? You're going to have to deal with it. You're at a public event. Sure, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. That day. Let's say that day.

I think personally if you had if you had used if you had swayed in there with the flattery

oh Mr. Messier you know and you're not blowing smoke the man accomplished amazing things you say you accomplished some

great things this is another thing to add to the trophy case are you going to frame a stamp and put it up in your trophy case

at home have some fun with him he's so great that he knows he doesn't need me to say these things

of course I know I'm great I'm getting my own stamp it's right behind me in a giant poster kid get on with your fucking stupid questions for your shitty stupid podcast adam yes if you were

at this stamp unveiling event do you think you could have gotten mark messier to comment on capriosa store you know what i think not i don't think so because i don't think having interviewed mark messier myself um there it is i've done it too i know oh i've been here a couple times And Mark Messier is extraordinarily well media trained. As in, Mark Messier won't give you an answer he doesn't want to give you. He's one of those guys. Locks it down. And there are some guys that...

Does he make you send the questions beforehand? No, Taylor Swift does. Well, I've heard... Taylor Swift made me send... Taylor Swift's management... I'm not sure Taylor's like that. Taylor Swift's management was wholly stringent. It's like Britney Spears' management.

Same thing. There's not a lot of people in the world bigger than Taylor Swift. That's okay. I guess. I'm saying I don't think it was wrong of you to ask the question either. I don't think anything you did there was wrong. I just think it's hilarious.

If someone makes you send them questions first, Adam doesn't work for Taylor Swift. He's not on her PR team. He's just helping her promote her. But she doesn't need this interview. I really don't need a Taylor Swift interview either. My show is just fine without it.

So what the fuck are either of you doing there? That's what I'm saying. You know how many useless interviews there are in the world? Oh, so many. So many. Like, that interview didn't need to happen. But there are so many. Think about, like, that's like saying, you know,

two ECHL hockey games don't matter because it doesn't get you any closer to the Stanley Cup, right? You still have to play. You have to do those little things. You have to do those little things to get to the bigger things. How do you become Barbara Walters? Well, you do a bunch of little interviews that don't matter with people who don't know you,

and then all of a sudden you develop a pedigree, and then all of a sudden you're Barbara Walters. Adam? Yes? You've spoken to Mark Messier twice? I have. Oh, how long? How long were the conversations?

Two or three minutes each. Did they go well? Well enough. I mean, he was talking, he was there to promote things, so if he's talking about the things he's promoting, which I guess he was there to promote the stamps. But what did you ask him about? No, he wasn't there to promote the stamps. He was there to be awarded the stamp.

That's different. Did you ask him any fun questions? I got to imagine he was ready to be there. I tried. I tried with the Leafs, and he gave me a question, or he gave me an answer much like he gave Steve, which was, well, you know, they're all trying really hard, basically. Give me Phil Esposito, 10 days out of 10.

Yeah, because Phil will tell you what he feels. Yeah. One of my favorite hockey interviews ever is Phil Esposito when Canada was losing in the Canada-Russia series in 72, and he's going, we're trying real hard out here. Shut up, we'll figure it out. Yeah, he was like, give us a break.

It's a beautiful, beautiful interview. And that's what I love about him. He's candid. Steve, I'm not criticizing you. I think you did the right thing. I think it was just that I was like, I'm just saying maybe play up the fact that you're here and this is a momentous occasion

and then hit him with the, oh, and also a funny little personal story. It has been my experience. Now, you've done way more interviews than me. That's not necessarily true. Way more high-profile interviews. Not necessarily true.

No, fuck off. I don't think that's true. You interviewed Paul Henderson yesterday morning. We hung out for several hours and it wasn't even an important enough event in your life for you to mention it to me. I found out from Twitter that you interviewed Paul Henderson

because that's just another day in the life of Adam Wilde. Steve, on average, you interview... That is a season maker for me. I get one of those a season. You had Jordan Eberle's phone number, man. I had Jordan Eberle's number from when he was with the Regina Pats. In terms of interviewing.

You know who's going to answer that? An old lady who lives in Regina. in a week you'll maybe interview what like five hockey players during the season it depends on the week

most hockey players they're huge they're huge most weeks it's zero you go the whole summer it's probably five guys

if you go to a couple events it depends yeah like if there's tournaments or like G camp or something for an entire year you're doing interviews

every morning on a television show okay so you probably interviewed a lot more people than Steve stop being modest Adam feels bad

no I Yeah, no, I don't mean this. This is not a self-aggrandizement. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Numbers-wise, don't downplay the numbers. Okay, okay. I'm looking into the camera. Adam is a huge fucking deal.

I'm not. Okay? That's not true. Adam is a huge deal. The thing is that I'm not. Yeah, but I'm just saying the numbers-wise. Just because you talk to people who are a huge deal doesn't make you a huge deal,

and you've got to keep that in mind. Adam's Ryan Seacrest. You've got to keep that indefinitely in mind. But handsomer. Also not. He has a nicer bum. Adam is a great bum. Thank you.

Seacrest named one of the top 100 hottest people in Canada? He absolutely was not. It was Adam and Jay Baruchel. I was also not named one of the top 100 hottest people. It was the top 50. Oh! What? What?

What? What? Oh, my God! What? Oh, my God! What? On that note, let's do the press conference. Oh, man, before you say shit like that,

you have to go, yo, I'm not a rapper. Holy shit! Adam's super hot fire. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. I am super looking forward to, like, the company that catches all the phone companies with their pants down

and just comes out with a new, this is what phones are now, get out of here. So like what Uber did to the taxi industry? Yeah. A little bit. Nah, not really, because Uber drives me nuts as well.

It does? dude okay leaving the wedding that we were at does it also drive you to your location on you know what half the time jesse half the time we've all had this experience oh here comes my car oh he's pulling up where's he going where is he he's getting back on the highway this guy is never going to find me and then what you're standing there and what do you do call another uber why that shit might happen again you can call him yeah excuse me sir where the fuck are you going I had to tell a guy to cancel the damn fair

because he's like I'm here I'm like where are you he's like I'm in it's a bush so we're at a wedding venue no it says it's on the GPS

I don't care what your GPS says sir I'm not waiting in a bush like fucking Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator yeah it does have a little trouble finding you in your current location

I have to say I see you you're getting into another car no I'm not I'm standing here yelling at you cancel the fair no you're right

cancel the fair and then he charges SL charges Mrs. Dangle and then we gotta make a stink with Google and then they gotta refund her money well

did you make a stink with Google or Uber? Uber sorry I don't know what Google could have done about that you were a little upset

yeah you were a little upset you know what's never happened with a cab? they go I'm in a bush here I am like the best Uber drivers I don't like Uber

I'm sorry the best Uber drivers are cab drivers yes that is very true I've met I've talked to lots of Uber drivers

who are cab drivers. Because they know the way around the city. Here's the problem. I went to a Jays game last night and I walked out to the street and I went up to the first cab and the line that I saw and I said, hey man,

can you take me to King and Parliament, which is where I live. And just to give anybody that lives in Toronto a sense of that, it's about two kilometers or what, four miles? No, that's further than two kilometers.

That's like a four miles. That's more than a half hour walk. It'd be a half an hour, 45 minute walk, but it's probably a five, 10 minute car drive, right? Yeah, either way. And traffic, you know, and whatever. So the taxi driver says, no, it's not a long enough fare.

You'll have to hail somebody from the street. And I said, really, Mr. Beck Taxi? Oh, yeah. And I said it just like that. And he looked at me and said, I'm sorry, I'm not taking you. And I said, okay, we'll see you later. And I got into the next cab.

So the next cab picks me up. When was the last time you went to the bathroom in a port-a-potty? Actually, fairly recently. It was at the Fan Fest. Do you know? Yes, there's a fan village. Okay, fine. So you know the chemical smell that you get when you walk into there?

It's kind of like, here's the chemical smell that's covering the excrement smell. Yes. This is exactly what this cab smelled like. There are bad-smelling cabs in Toronto. And this guy drove me. And so I say at the end of it, okay, I'm going to have to pay you a visa. They don't like that. Oh, you always tell them before you get in the car.

No, you don't. You don't have to. You know how the world works, Steve? It works with credit cards. I walked to your place. Adam let me stay at his place after we recorded the last show. I walked the entire way there. You know why?

Only one cab passed me, and the freaking guy, I go, do you take debit? Because I lost my credit card recently. I go, do you take debit? He goes, nope, because it's 1998, and then he drove off. This is why I like Uber. some of us enjoy uber steve that is why let's not pretend like we've never had a sketchy uber driver no never had a sketchy uber driver not one not one not one that you were like this guy's weird

not freaking one man shut up i'm not kidding i live in downtown toronto not one not one not one where the car wasn't immaculate not one where they weren't nice people they are nice yes they are extremely nice cars they are i just listen for me it's like it the complaints from cabbies that you get in every city i understand them i get it because this is your livelihood and you paid so much money for a license but that was a different time and unfortunately the world is moving on and because you have provided a service that quite frankly has been lackluster for a long time now you're paying the freaking piper and we all are with the internet we all are you think the media's not going through the same damn thing. We are.

It's really challenging out there. Things are changing. That's what we're in. This is what drove me insane. It drove me insane about this last night. Cigarettes dangling out of your ears. You guys are protesting about this new company that's coming in and doing a better

job. No. No. That's not what it's about at all. It's about insurance, and I'm going to grab onto this guy's handle and ride it down fucking Bay Street. That video's hilarious, by the way. The guy who, the cab driver who grabbed an Uber,

and the Uber tried to drive off, and he held on for like a solid 50 feet as he drove into that, you know that crazy intersection right by Parliament Hill? Yeah. Yeah. That video's amazing. I haven't seen that.

I have to check that out. Jesse, next question. I don't know how we got here. Cab drivers will be like, you know what, it'll win us some public support. The ruling is Uber is awesome. Uber's awesome. I would say most taxis are great

but there are a few people that are ruining it for the rest of them I would say that about Uber I would say that about both there's not a bunch of Uber drivers ruining it for the rest of the Uber drivers this is not a thing Steve what are you talking about

I'm the only one who's ever had negative experiences with Uber I'm the only one there's a few Uber drivers who are ruining it for everybody else You are fucking kidding me I can't wait for the twitter reaction Yeah I had a fucking guy Get back on the gardener

Because I'm clearly waiting on the gardener You dumb fuck There's gonna be some bad experience With anything No with anything There's gonna be bad experiences I have it all the fucking time At least a quarter of the time

All the time is the quarter of the time Now you're using my math it's a great service 99% of the time with most people he couldn't find you 75 how many times

has that happened to you I would say where were you at least there is some kind of GPS issue either picking me up or dropping me off

maybe it's your phone half of the fucking time it's not my phone it's theirs I don't have that I asked for a ride to the MasterCard Center and the guy goes

well here you are sir this is a factory parking lot like what so here's here's my question there's no massacre science and then the next time

I tried to do it it fucking happened again because Uber's um TBS shit and so I had to manually direct the guy

and he had no idea it blew his fucking mind no you can't manually direct me you gotta tell me the address okay I'm gonna tell you the address

but the stupid thing is gonna tell you to go somewhere else right and fair fair I think that's a fair complaint I think that's a fair complaint

I think it's a pretty minor complaint yep The car that I hired to bring me somewhere Won't bring me to that place It's a minor complaint You're high You could personally direct them to it I don't see what the problem is

Anyone who has ever had to manually give an Uber driver Directions Knows what I'm talking about They're fucking useless They don't know directions dude They are hopeless Absolutely hopeless You tell a cab driver I want to go to this dark alley

at fucking anywhere in the city and they know it. I want you to get me to the 50th floor. They might stink and be rude to you and then, you know,

get mad when you try to pay Visa, but at least they'll fucking get you there. Look, they're both terrible services. No. Cabs stink.

Uber stinks. The TTC is a fucking travesty. The GO train is every half hour. Thank you very much. But have we told you about how Toronto's the greatest city in the world? Toronto world class

my friggin' ass. You can't get anywhere. It's true. Unless you walk. It's true. I'm with you on that. I've had it. Here's what I would try.

I've had it. Here's what I would try with your Uber. Can't take an Uber, can't take a cab, can't take the train, can't take the bus, can't take the streetcar. There's construction fucking everywhere. And if you're in Oshawa, might as well live in fucking Oshawa. Might as well. Might as well.

I can't wait until you move downtown in like three years. I know, because it's going to happen. Yes. Like, it's inevitable. I give it I travel five or ten square kilometers for the rest of my life

because I can't fucking go anywhere you'll be happy you'll be far happier yeah doubt it maybe you'll take some good Ubers

yeah maybe maybe it's the secret yeah maybe you'll take some good Ubers who were formerly cab drivers who know where they're going all the Ubers you've been taking

have been so far out of the city that you're getting these bad Uber drivers because they don't know how to drive maybe you should take some Uber drivers

downtown maybe it's indicative of the quality of the people in the neighborhood I'm not saying that at all. I'm just kidding. No, that's exactly right.

I'm not saying that. People from Oshawa can't drive and are awful. Maybe. Maybe you should take them to Toronto. I hope Jesse runs for office one day and then it'll just come up. People from Oshawa can't drive and are awful. I am just agreeing with what Adam said. No, that's not what I said.

I was kidding. Dude, this place was at Pottery Road. It was called Fantasy Farm. Fantasy Farm. Exactly. What is that? Jesse used to drive for Uber. you have no idea

where the fuck it is how far out of the city is it it's not it's not out of the city it's on the DVP it's on the DVP that's too far if you don't know anything

if you don't know a place along the Don Valley Parkway and you drive for a living in Toronto fuck right off then you shouldn't be take some Ubers in the downtown core

and they are all splendid I never have to exchange money with anyone I have all of their info on my telephone and there is a GPS Yes, taking me to my location. It is wonderful.

It is a pleasant, I will give you this, it is a pleasant experience when it works out. Sometimes they have candy and gum. Sometimes they have candy and gum. A lot of the, I think, yeah, I think you are right. You have a point about the inner city Ubers. Ottawa, fantastic. Ottawa has a very high gum ratio.

You are very likely to find gum. In your Ottawa Uber, sorry, Ottawa. Ottawa. Ottawa, Ontario. Because frankly, expectations there are just much higher. Oshawa actually has great Uber because your GPS never fucks up in Oshawa. It's only in downtown Toronto with all these buildings. Yeah, it's true.

All right, what's up in LiveVidget? So the best thing on the LiveVidget page today is the post from NARCity. Oh! NARCity, by the way, is a listicles website. I was thinking about starting a feature on this show Which was listicle of the day And as in like 10 things about blank

And you won't believe number 7 listicle Top 10 free agents the Leafs should target next year That is Narcity That's what they do That's how they make their money And you know what all the power to them Because they're probably making money What is this who would read this bullshit

That's where the Unwashed masses go You go to Wards Beach By the way Wards Beach is the place to go The sporty girl who wants to go to the Hockey Hall of Fame. I think I found a better one. Let's just see how many stereotypes we can perpetrate.

On the second page, they have 41 real things all Jack Astor's servers know to be true. Get the fuck out of this studio. How on earth? By the way, how niche is that bullshit? Literally, it's because it's like Simpsons did it, BuzzFeed did it. They, like, BuzzFeed has to get, look at BuzzFeed lists

now, compared to what they used to be. They have to get so specific with the shit. You know what's fucked up? How do they come up with a new idea anymore? They produce so much content. Here's what's fucked up. It's like, it's like all the rich crazy people who have, like, trillions

of dollars and they live in the shadows and all conspiracy theorists think they exist than they actually do. It's like they all watched like a season of The Simpsons 20 years ago and they went, that's how we should make the world.

That's how we should make the world. We're going to make it like that. Yep. You think it's a cartoon? Bullshit. We're going to make it that way. Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. Oh my God.

Now here's the creepy thing about that. So I used to be the managing editor for theleafsnation.com and for some stupid reason I put that on my Facebook because Facebook wants to know everything about you and a few years ago

I was like, here you go, Facebook. Here's my blood type, too. Here's a file on it. Do you have that you're married on there to Mrs. Dingle? You bet I do. Wow. That's how long you guys have been together because your relationship status is actually showing.

You know what's fucked up? The second you tell the internet in any way, shape, or form, hey, I'm married, you know what you start getting ads for? Ashley Madison. Wow. Yep. I've never gotten an Ashley Madison ad.

The second. Wow. The second I changed my status to married Ashley Madison. Interesting. second uh which is incredibly fucked up um anyway well there's no we've already apparently proven that there's no women on that site anyway oh yeah so sad so sad pretty sad um so i put that i was managing editor of theleafsnation.com so now i get all the oh and i've sold shirts on teespring and so facebook was like i'm gonna use this information to every day i see an ad

for I'm a managing editor and a badass on a shirt. Who the fuck would wear that? I am a host for KISS 92.5 and a badass. I'm a producer and a badass. Yeah, the customized shirts.

Oh my God. Yes, and it mocks it up for you. I've seen that. You know who saw that listicle that Jesse just mentioned? Everyone who works at a Jack Astor's. Everyone. I bet they went through it, too.

Or if they say server anywhere, you saw that listicle. It's incredibly niche and creepy. Creepy. That's too creepy. Number 19. After you bring the mayo, they also ask for a side of ranch. You know what? I'm going to text Caprice right now.

I want to find out. Hang on. Okay. Honey. 21. 21. your co-workers are actually pretty awesome

okay okay you know what okay I'm not into people losing their jobs but I think like I would I want to just walk up to their office or their table it's probably you know it's a share space it's one of those and everyone's

playing hacky sack in the corner I want to just be like hey and just like hold up a paper copy of that article and be like what are you doing and then they answer it and then I just keep saying what are you doing and I just keep fucking with them like it's goodwill hunting until they just break down cry and quit

because what are you doing that person likely has a degree that person likely has like a 30 plus thousand dollar education the author's name is printed there is it?

no let's not start a social media witch hunt yeah you're right and they threw the beer It's their job. It's their job. They're being told to write articles that way. Okay, so this is Caprice who worked at Jack Astor's. When you were a server at Jack Astor's and people asked you and you delivered a side of mayo,

would they then ask for a side of ranch? Asking, this is a serious question. So she worked at Jack Astor's? Yeah. I wonder if this has come across her timeline. Did she put it on her Facebook? She'd write it. She'd put it on her wall.

Hey, honey, look at this awesome list. Oh, all the dog shit? All the, um... Facebook knows too much about me, man. Yeah, of course they do. But, like, basic things that I didn't think was giving them too much information. Like, I have a dog, but apparently it is.

What else do we have? Oh, so, are we done with the Jack Astor's list? I mean, we don't have to be. What do you... I need to know... I just love that your co-workers are pretty good people. No, pretty awesome. Pretty awesome.

It turns out your co-workers are pretty awesome. I just imagine a bunch of people at Jack Astor's on their phones looking at this going, yeah, you are awesome, and then just patting each other on the butt and putting each other, and then going back to work. How many of those 41 things could you just change the title of the article to, if you work at a car dealership, this happens to you. If you work at X. If you work at a podcast.

Yeah. Your co-workers are pretty awesome. I get pissed off when Adam brings me mayo and not ranch. Happens all the fucking time. I'm going to post the answer what a dumb question to ask my fiance I'm at work Adam

oh fuck when did we get here as a society or we were always here we just haven't had the platform it used to be I think people used to write stupid shit like that I think people have always written stupid shit like that

the difference is no one read it because there's no way to print it in mass there's no mass production of it Yeah, but things that don't get read die. Who's clicking this shit? Yeah. Who's doing it? Yeah.

They're spreading the dumb. The last item on the list is sometimes serving can actually be the worst, but working at Jack Astor's makes it a little better. So Jack Astor's paid for that. Yeah, Jack Astor's paid for this post. Because that's how BuzzFeed... Now, is it...

The title, all you... It's advertising. Jack Astor's, Jack Astor's, Jack Astor's. How many times has Jack Astor's written in that article? And it's in the title. And if it's in the title, and it pops up on my Facebook, that means you just shoved Jack Astor's into my Facebook. You could put Canadian Army there. The best part about working at Jack Astor's is supporting the Canadian Army.

Even FBH. The best part of working at Jack Astor's is when you serve a table of 20 Canadian Armed Forces. Anyway. Join the Navy. So there you go, that's what's up in Lividge today. Well, what's actually up was the list from NARCITY, which is 16 reasons why Liberty Village is the absolute best place to live in Toronto. Now, as the king of Liberty Village, Jesse, Jesse Blake, king of Liberty Village,

who I just named in that. Now, I'm open with any of this. I'm open. Okay. I'm open. We should go through the list. Number one, it's full of young people. Is that a good thing?

Well, sure. I'll allow it, I suppose. It's full of young people. It's four schools. I mean... Yeah, so so are suburbs. Kids are young people. Yeah.

No, I get where they're going with that. I'll allow it. Two, it's also full of super cute dogs. That's true, actually. That is true. Yeah, I'll allow it. I think you guys are... The young people per capita and the dogs per capita are high in Libvidge.

I bet there's almost as many dogs as there are people in Liberty Village. I'm a I'm almost as many French bulldogs as people everybody is a French bulldog I'm a dink with a dog

dink double income no kids with a dog I should move to Libvidge that's what I'm thinking it's the perfect location stop okay

so is Yonge and Dundas some might say it's a little too far west but we disagree it's conveniently located just south some say but we don't think so

that sentence That sentence was literally It's close to everything It's not, but it is We're at number three And fuck you already Oh my god To the author

Oh my god What the hell, man My voice is just wearing When did this happen? When did it happen? It has easy access to the rest of Toronto That's number three Which you already acknowledge is wrong

Well, actually Yeah And actually Does it have easy access? because the location is I don't think it does at all getting out of liberty

is the worst thing on earth there's one fucking street there's one bus that leaves there's one street the slogan of Toronto should be

do you live on the subway line nope we'll get fucked yeah literally nope we don't care about you prices I believe prices along the subway line

are like a hundred grand higher I'm surprised it's only that like it's it's nuts like people now that changes every month that was just one person

who told me that If you send me an article and I'm wrong, fine. People talk about Leslieville. I've been to Leslieville. I've lived in Toronto since 1988. And I've probably been to Leslieville maybe two or three times. Because how do you get to Leslieville? If you don't drive.

You walk from my house. Yeah. And how long does that take? 10, 15 minutes. No. To walk? More than that. Yeah, yeah.

It's not far. But then why would I go? It's not as far as you think. it's actually Leslieville's actually really cool Queen East is the new

Queen West oh and I'm telling you this that was a very Toronto thing that you just said I get that you should have told me that in a hookah bar

you know what we're gonna do because it used to be just the opera house there there's actually some really great stuff we're gonna go there sometime and you're gonna have an amazing time

and you're gonna eat some delicious food and you're gonna be like you know what great that'll be the fourth time Adam's right some say Leslieville's too far east

but I disagree is that number five but I provided proof god damn it Okay, anyway, number five was it has no shortage of great food spots, which is kind of true. I mean, that's Toronto. Yeah, there's a lot of restaurants. We've brought this up.

I'll put Toronto as a food city up against anybody, anybody in the world. Its proximity to the Molson Amphitheater means summer is just a little bit more fun. No, you can't say it's close to stuff and then two things later be like, it's close to this specific thing. Hold on a second. Repeat that one more time. Its proximity to the Molson Amphitheater means your summer is just a little bit more fun. But I could just rewrite this and be like, if you live near the Air Canada Center, if you live near the Rogers Center, if you live near Rico Coliseum,

which you do if you live in Livvage. Very close. Yeah. I tell you what. Can't live closer. I'm in Oshawa, and I live close to the GM Center. So if you want to see that. To be fair.

If you want to see a bunch of C-list comedians, if you want to see Larry the Cable Guy and that dude with the puppets, you come to... What the hell is his name? Oh, Jeff Dunham. Jeff Dunham. If you want to see Larry the Cable Guy and Jeff Dunham,

you come to the GM Center. It has great views of the CN Tower, which is... That's, okay, the Danforth. That is miles and miles. It's relatively quiet compared to a lot of the city, which is very true. That is true.

Yeah. Well, we have three valid points so far. Unless you're right next to the GO tracks, the GO train tracks, which are like... We're back at two. Like five. Crumple, crumple, crumple. The condos are right along the train tracks, and you can hear them all night. And we're back at two.

But that's why it's quiet for everybody else, because those condos block the train. Exactly. They're the soundproofing. It has amazing hidden murals, which all of us know about. You know, on the list of things that I care about, hidden murals is near the bottom. I think public access to toilets would go above that. If you ask a real estate agent, how are the murals around here? It should be legal for them to punch you in the throat.

You know what? I bet real estate agents get asked shit like that all the time. Can you imagine being a real estate agent? People are like, oh, I want to be a real estate agent. I'm like, why? Oh, my God. People and the shit they want in houses. And if they walk in and the color of the wall is not the color they want, they'll walk out.

How many antique shops are nearby? I bet it's been posed I bet there's realtors listening right now who are going, oh my god, the stories I have for you I bet I bet money on it How many bike shots? Keep going

There are plenty of patios to soak in the sunshine That is the entirety of Toronto That is Canada Canada loves patios because it's cold here a lot You know what's really cool? When the Lightning are in the playoffs they have a big patio party outside of the arena Because patios are great.

Universal knowledge. Who doesn't love a good patio? It's super, super clean. Which is very true. Parts are super duper clean. No, I think Liberty Village is like any part of Toronto where you go, gosh, this is nice. And then you walk one block and you go, what happened? And then you walk another block and you're like, boy, that's nice.

Yeah, back alley. Yeah. There are no tourists. it's because there's nothing to fucking do yeah the only thing to do is where people live

yeah it's to live but there's no that's the problem with Toronto too is that when you come here people ask us what should I do

well unless you want to walk for half an hour I don't know here's the subway line do that or don't yeah that's it

like what is do you tickets to the game we have a beach you come to Toronto so does every restaurant that you eat right

yeah like New York There's shit to do You want to get fat You come here Yeah It'll be real easy Yeah we can vet you up real quick

Real easy Take it from me Thirteen There's an adorable Farmer's market on the weekend That is the most Toronto thing I've ever heard There's a

Okay move to Curtis, Ontario That's a necessity You want to Farmer's market on the weekend Has to happen You want to Or people don't eat Want to check out

Some farmer's markets Move near a farm Hey listen man Don't I'm going to have Yo I cannot wait To get so fat

off pumpkin pie. Fresh pumpkin pie. St. Lawrence Market is where it's at. St. Lawrence, yeah, which is literally, it's where Toronto people

go to buy vegetables. Our farmer's market is in a parking lot across from the Go Station and a Tim Hortons and a bulk bar. Have you been?

I've walked past it. I've never purchased anything. Alright, so we have two good reasons so far. King of Lividge, Jesse Blake.

Let's see if we get up to five. The Duke of Lividge. Tons of parking in Liberty Village or something. Well, which is helpful if you needed

to go there and you do not. I don't think you need to park to go anywhere in Liberty Village. Imagine the Air Canada Center. There's tons of parking.

That would be super helpful. Uh-huh. There's not. There used to be. Used to be. I parked there the other day for 30 bucks.

Literally the only reason I go to Liberty Village is to see Jesse. Hey! Yeah, well, yeah. To see Jesse, hockey night in cinema,

end of list. Yeah, Marley's Hockey Night in Cinema. Marley's don't count. Well, because we go to Jesse's house and play NHL. Which, by the way,

we're doing. Jesse, we're Jesse. It's still just a pit stop, then. So it's one and a half times. Okay. One and a half reasons. Two more. It's close to King Street

when you want to get out. Stop saying it's close to some civic shit. You already threw that away. You already threw that away. It's close to shit. Two things later, it's close to this shit.

See, some people would say it's got good access to King Street. Others disagree. Others disagree. Others don't want to freeze their balls off waiting for a streetcar that comes every 45 minutes. You know, I thought this podcast was going to end a good 20 minutes ago, but I feel like we need to keep going. I got shit to complain about, so no. No. No.

I'm not complaining about that. I'm just saying. Jesse, what else we got? Last thing on the list. All right. Why is it great to live in liberty? Let's get up to three! You literally never need to leave

if you don't want to. That's a horrible reason to move somewhere. No, it's good. That could be anywhere. I wouldn't leave my house if I didn't have to work and eat. Scarborough is just full of starving people

because there's nowhere to eat. Scarborough people just walk the streets and collapse and die because there's nowhere to eat. There's no... What farmer's market do you know of in Scarborough? Oh, God.

There isn't one you couldn't possibly survive there. The streets are littered with bodies. I... I... I... I... That... That is just...

There is just so... That is such a... A ridiculous statement to make. There's not even a word beyond... I wish there was a word above ridiculous that you couldn't use. Ridonculous. Unless... No.

Even that's been overused. I want a word that is above that. Preposterous But there you go Cause it's It's like There's no reason to leave Unless you have to

Like You don't want to Guys There's no reason to leave This podcast Unless I have to Like To physically leave

There's no reason for us To stop doing this podcast This particular episode Unless we have to In North York Here's the thing We fucking have to Cause we got other shit to do

In North York There's no bathrooms People just Pee and poof on the sidewalk Or in their own apartment Because they just they have to leave

Jesse's Jesse's laughing so hard he's crying right now stop stop Greg there's nowhere to eat in Scarborough

or North York or anywhere else you just collapse and die okay so I said I said to Caprice when you were a server

at Jack Astor's and people asked you for and you delivered a side of mayo would they then ask you for a side of ranch this is a serious question her response is

huh question mark oh sorry I'm wrong in inflection huh Yeah, as if to say, I'm at work. Which is not Jackassers, by the way. Leave me alone.

Anyways, that's what's up in Lovage. You know how many confused people there are because they don't have a Jackassers? Is that a Canadian thing? Yeah. I think so. Gentlemen, this was sent to us by Mark T. Avs. Mark T., who is an Avs fan, lives in Toronto, came and hung out with us for Hockey Night in Cinema this past couple weeks ago.

and it's a follow up to the Bobby Nicks burger and Jesse and I have already watched this Steve full disclosure now I want part of it I want you to hear this

I want you to see I want you to watch this later but I want you to hear a lot of this video I have it no no no you stay you stay and listen

you don't really need to see it you gotta hear it though and understand I'll close my eyes even it's at NHL.com slash Oilers

boo yeah sorry I just hate NHL.com it's a video explaining the Bobby Nicks burger and where it came from, right? Okay.

The legend behind the Bobby Nicks burger. And it is the most corporate video you will ever watch in your entire life. Oh, dear. It is hilarious. Eyes are closed. Let's start from the beginning. A couple weeks ago,

I gave you a sneak peek at the Rogers Place menu. Now we are actually showing you a signature item. This here is the Bobby Nicks burger created by the man himself, Euler CEO and Vice Chairman Bob Nicholson. Bob, sum your burger up for us.

It started at a secret meeting this morning on a secret sauce. And then we added Alberta beef, of course. But then we have some cheddar cheese, a little spice, jalapeno, some lettuce, and an unbelievable bun. It's going to be awesome. That is a description if I've ever heard one. Bob, let's see how you made it. Stop, stop, stop. So, we made a burger with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, onions, bacon, and, of course, a burger patty.

Oh, God bless. And what was her response? God bless that host, because she goes, that is a description. Which couldn't be more... Adam. Yeah, totally. She's not wrong. Thanks, Bob.

There is no way to make that video interesting, and so I just, God bless her. God bless her. Now, this is the part where the video gets really fun. And this is where Jesse and I really started to thoroughly enjoy it. Now, I don't know if you mentioned there were jalapenos on there, Adam, because that gives the burger a little bit of personality. Well, did you forget about Bobby Nix's secret sauce? Watch him in the next couple of minutes.

That sounds so gross. Be ready. Jalapenos? Those are like the one pepper I will tolerate. Bobby Nix will, in fact, correct the chef on how to make it. No. No, he does not. Yes, so that's why we're going through this video,

just to have a little bit of fun today. Oh, I'm so happy. All right, so you're going to hear a lot of corporate-y music. So he's telling the chef how to make it. I like the feel of this one. I don't know how it tastes, but I like the feel. I don't feel good. So look at that.

Look at that mustard. So it's the Bobby Nicks burger. He has no idea how it tastes, but he sure likes how it feels in his hands. Well, see, the chef, the chef-ass chef made it for him. Right. So, you know, he knows how he makes it, but how does the chef-ass chef make it? Going to the pancetta bacon, the smoked tomato relish. No.

He didn't try that. No. So what happened there was the chef made a burger the way that Bobby Nix asked. And Bobby Nix took a bite and he said, no, no. Not good enough for one Bobby Nix. Now, that's a bad cut for whoever made this video. I want to know what followed the no. Because I'm going to give Bob Nicholson the credit that he didn't just go, nope, and throw the burger against the wall.

I think he did. Well, I think he did. It's funny that you mention it. Make it again. Get the shit out of my face. Well, he did. The thing is, Steve, he does, in fact, go into the corrections. This is where we get the corrections.

Oh, okay. So it's not really a bad edit. Yeah. No. That's a bad pinch. Sorry. He didn't try this, eh? Okay.

Bob sauce and some mustard. This just has glass, so I think we're going to... So hold on. So he didn't do the bob sauce and the mustard And then he's holding a bun and saying how much class the bun has Now, I'm also looking at the What does the bun have? It's a really good bun

What does the bun have? It has Bread Oh! Oh! My ass! Oh! I couldn't get a rest of it

All right We're going to let him play A little spicy taste overall because we're taking the jalapenos We're getting there, chef Yes, sir Cheers, thank you There we go. He likes it.

What do you think? Awesome. I think this is a winner. I think this is a signature Bobby Knicks. Here we got it, baby. Here we got it. There it is. Something special.

Can't get it anywhere else. Bobby Knicks has picked out the items that he wants in there. This is the chef. This is our fourth burger that we looked at. This is going to have a little bit of a bite. There's no question. It's going to be a winner. Are you kidding me?

It's going to be a winner. Basically, you can kind of go through and say, you know what? I like that bun, but I like that cheese. And I like that sauce you put on that one. And then we'll just kind of conform that one up to Bob's signature burger. All these ingredients, things that are local to Canada, local to Edmonton, and put them out there for Bobby Nix to give a try. You know what?

It's certainly for adults who like beer with the jalapenos. If you want to take the jalapenos off, you can. Try it first and then take it off the next time. Now, now, for adults who like beer, Children who like beer might not like this burger. Yeah, I know. But this is where the video gets fun for me. Because it has a bit of a lull there, I'll admit.

Okay. But there's a reason why we're going through this methodically. Okay. Because sometimes in a movie, you have to see some of the boring stuff to see the amazing grand climax. Should I give my thoughts before we get to the climax? I would love that. Because my thoughts are, I think I owe Bobby Nixon an apology. Really? Why?

A little bit. this we thought jesse and i thought he just walked in there this is my burger took a picture with it and then walked out and the chef did all the work no no no he showed that chef what's what it was the fourth burger he tried you saw the effort love and care he put into it as the chef cut up all the vegetables grilled everything and hold on and i might i might want you to hold on to that comment because when it comes to the bacon bobby is very specific that he picked out is just great because it's all over the place it's smoky from the bacon we've got just the right fat amount fat content from the cheese the mustard vinegar the mustard's gonna cut it really well the bacon

what was the what was that the pan pancetta bacon is made with white wine yeah you know what i thought it was a little too powerful uh you're buying a burger for the burger you went for the regular bacon loaded up. So he's got high-end pan-shedded bacon made with white wine and Bob's like, no, no, no. Compliments brand, bro. Give me that Kirkland. Put this shit on it.

Give me the bacon that doesn't taste like anything because no one's buying the burger for the bacon taste anyway. How much is this going to cost the Edmonton Oilers to make this bacon every day? Let's go with the regular one. A lot less? No, they don't have that fancy pan-shedded burger or bacon. Fresh veggies. Can't go wrong.

And then, of course, the signature Bobby Nicks sauce that we specially designed Which is probably Thousand Island's dressing. Just gave him a little bit

of what the secret sauce should be and we nailed it. Absolutely nailed it. Just make some burger first out at you. We have this, like I said,

world class menu. We need signature items in there, okay? So what better to have a world class person, a classy person like Bobby Nicks

to have a signature item. So there you go. You know what? Bobby Nicks, everybody. Bobby Nicks. He made the damn thing. He was insistent. They called it a signature burger.

After seeing all the notes he put in, I got to say it's signature. And at the end of the video, I want the damn thing. Do you really? I want the damn thing. By the way, the high five. Bobby Nix. Bobby Nix, everybody. I'm team Bobby Nix.

The high five count, I believe, was at least four. He high-fived the chef four times. The dad high-five. Oh, yeah. Which, by the way, is always too high, and the dad is looking down. Yes. Because he can't make eye contact because it's an awkward moment, but he's got to go all the way up here. Yeah, it's brutal.

I may have given a few. You know, I watched this whole video going, how much did it cost to put this video together? Thousands. No. No. But I just thought, like, I was like, we're making a video about a burger at a stadium. Like, are we serious right now? It's a commercial.

I think that's thousands of dollars You gotta pay the chef overtime To come in and shoot this stupid video You gotta pay the chef But the chef was gonna get paid anyway The filming, the editing, the equipment The host But I think they have Oilers TV though

So if this is anything like Leafs TV Right You got your host already Of course, but you're paying for that You got your cameraman You got someone to edit it So you got at least three people involved probably a producer there's four all right sometimes the host is the producer or the

camera person is the producer um depending on how large your operation is i don't think that was an egregiously expensive video i you know what man you're you're trying but no i'm team oilers on this one wow i am team oilers on this one i mean no i am absolutely not I will fly to Edmonton Oh I want a Bobby Nicks burger Dad high five I will high five Bobby Nicks without eye contact And I will buy his burger

With my own money I'll try to get it for free first And then I will eat it and enjoy it Do you think Bob Nicholson shares this video with his family Like look I really made a burger I think he absolutely takes a picture of the link And texts it to his family I don't know if he shared the link

With his family Oh my god I mean you can tell the man's excited Which I appreciate because boy Edmonton has been A morose place lately but there's a lot of good Going on there I believe they're near the top of the standings Along with the Canucks and Habs

Edmonton top of the west, Montreal top of the east Amazing It's gonna stay that way All season long Follow the guys on Twitter At Steve underscore Dangle At Adam W Y L D E and at jesse blake the steve dangle podcast brought to you by panago pizza
