Starting point is 00:00:00 It is wonderful to be here. Welcome to the White House. And we are here to celebrate an extraordinary achievement. Phil Kessel is a Stanley Cup champion. Hey! Jesse, repeat what you just said World Cup of Hockey jerseys are 50% off Wow Where did you find that?
Starting point is 00:00:39 I was down at Best Buy yesterday at the Eaton Center Getting new SD cards Ah, Bestie Byman Walked by a Foot Locker And there was a big sign that said World Cup of Hockey jerseys 50% off And they had a whole rack of them All Sidney Crosby
Starting point is 00:00:54 See, you guys always make fun of me for the free stuff This is why I don't pay for things ever Because I wanted a Team North America jersey I wanted it bad And I was like You know what I get a lot of jerseys for free
Starting point is 00:01:07 How about I take that savings And I buy a Team North America jersey Is that what you did I got one You bought one For 150 bucks We could have saved half that
Starting point is 00:01:17 Piss me off There's a couple North America ones there too Can I be straight I mean At 75 dollars They are still no longer worth it Oh wow How about
Starting point is 00:01:27 Get it under 50 I'll buy one How about believe in Team North America? No past, no future. Best team in the tournament should have won. Best jerseys, Adam. Morgan Rielly was on that team. Austin Matthews.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Name a Leaf on Team Canada. You can't. Adam, what was the last? That's not my fault. It is. It's not my fault that the Leafs are good enough to make Team Canada. I heard it was. What was the last sports jersey you purchased?
Starting point is 00:01:57 What was the last sports jersey? that is a really good question I think that's a harder question for Steve to answer you're just getting them for free all the time oh you're asking me? Adam gets a bunch of shit for me I think I bought it's funny I moved back from Calgary
Starting point is 00:02:12 the Leafs were in the playoffs and the reason I bought this jersey was because it was like I hadn't owned a Leafs jersey that wasn't severely outdated in like 6 or 7 years because what I hated about the Leafs jersey in the late 2010s
Starting point is 00:02:29 is the fact that they switched the patch to that crappy TML thing. Yeah, I never liked that. And then they also had that jersey for one year that didn't have a stripe on the bottom. It looked like it was like a... The pajama jersey. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:43 It looked like it was from Lululemon. Yeah, the Luke Shen rookie year pajama jersey. There's no way I'm buying these crappy jerseys. Also, the team sucked, and I didn't know. I'm like, why am I buying a jersey for the team? You didn't get a Nicholas Hagman jersey out of them? You know what? I didn't.
Starting point is 00:02:56 I didn't. Yurke Lume was my last hope. My last hope. But yeah. So I decided that I was going to hold off. And then so they make the playoffs. So I bought the one that they wore in the playoffs, which was the 1967 throwback, which I thought was pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Because that was the last time they won the cup. Yes. I was a big fan of Frank Mihaljevic growing up, even though I didn't see the man play. I was like, he was like the best player back then. I heard he was good. Yeah. So I was like, I'm getting that jersey. So that was the last.
Starting point is 00:03:22 And what year was this? This was 2013. I think the last jersey I bought That I can think of So I got A Canada Sochi Jersey for free But I paid to get it lettered with Murray Philippe Lann
Starting point is 00:03:37 So that doesn't count So I guess before that it would have been Early 2013 maybe late 2012 I got an Evgeny Kuznetsov Tractor Chalabinsk jersey Oh okay No that's not true you're right Because I paid for my CKSA
Starting point is 00:03:53 C-S-K-A C-S-K-A Moscow I have a Tarasenko Moscow jersey Oh nice Which I love And
Starting point is 00:04:01 Because we were all Going to pick KHL teams Back in the day Yes Which I still have Also I wrecked my streak This summer
Starting point is 00:04:07 I bought a TFC jersey Toronto football club I don't own a single TFC thing I love I love the TFC Low key Love the TFC
Starting point is 00:04:16 I never tweet about the TFC But I watch the games I love I love that team And I love going to the games So I couldn't go Without a jersey Sure

Starting point is 00:04:40 match like yeah oh a match oh boy you ever been to a football match in Toronto
Starting point is 00:04:46 me and my Scottish wife get into arguments about that you been to a TFC game two I think two but have you been recently when they've been good no because i know you went to a david beckham game oh so three three yes yeah i went to the beckham game where you know pause for surprise fans at the rogers center
Starting point is 00:05:05 threw beer at him really oh they came so close to decking him yeah and he was nobody made a big deal of it oh he was pissed off oh you know who made a big deal of it david beckham oh who uh destroyed tfc's two nothing lead and tied it up two two what did what was the chant going in the uh in You can stick your David Beckham up your... Are we on the radio? Yeah, we can say that. You can say that. Up your...
Starting point is 00:05:27 You can say someone's being an ass. Right, but you can't refer to... To the buttocks. The buttocks. The English language is a bizarre... And by the way, social customs, also very bizarre. You can say it in one context, but not the other. Ass.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Okay, now let's see what happens. Now let's see what happens. That's what I like doing in life. by just throwing things out there and seeing what happens. Are we on the radio? It's a great thing to do with your career, by the way. Take Steve's advice. Just throw it out there and see what happens.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Maybe that's what that guy was doing with the beer. So, since Steve's angling for that, let's talk about it. Let's get it out of the way. Listen, Baltimore, we're sorry. Yes. And baby last year in the Toronto stands, we're also sorry about that. But why did they bring the baby to the game? But, but seriously, why did they bring the baby to the game?
Starting point is 00:06:24 It's so useless. Oh my God. No, I'm not saying, I'm not saying someone should be throwing beer, but why are you bringing a baby to a game like that? No, I'm lampooning it. I'm making fun of the, like people were going, but why was there a baby there? Okay. Putting that to the side.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Why is someone throwing a beer? Let's put that in the talk about later column. Let's focus on why are you throwing things? Yeah, it's fair. It's fair. Now we, we all know it was one idiot. The one thing that I tweeted about this yesterday
Starting point is 00:06:51 Because I got a little heated I got a little heated Oh damn And I want to back off My tweets a little bit And not recant But I don't
Starting point is 00:06:59 That would be a great podcast By the way I apologize for what I said On Twitter Yeah Yeah It's almost like It would be long
Starting point is 00:07:06 I'm sorry for the things That I did when I was drunk Right I'm sorry for what I said When I was drunk Twitter's like A long episode Yeah
Starting point is 00:07:12 I Wow That's I don't I don't want that to happen Episode one is four hours. I don't like 50,000 tweets, man. Sorry, I cut you off.
Starting point is 00:07:22 But yeah, the thing that I said yesterday on, I said, you know, it really doesn't matter whether he goes to jail or pays a fine or whatever it is that could happen because that technically could be filed under assault with a weapon. If he connected, yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:36 No, no, no. Even if you miss. If you are potentially causing bodily harm, it's still assault with a weapon whether you connect or not. So, you know, or public nuisance or whatever it is. Whatever the punishment legally is, if there is any at all, the one thing that this guy is really going to suffer from, or girl, because it could be either, is just the social outcasting that will happen when your friends and family found out that you're that a-hole. You're that a-hole.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I wanted to catch the guy, and then the second they, like, let's assume the guy who the police pointed out is the guy. The second they put his picture out there, I felt a little bad. I'm like, and his life's over. Me too And he's fired And like This is all He's gonna get to talk about
Starting point is 00:08:22 At any social gathering And family gathering For Nah I'm good For at least two years though But then When people introduce him You'll be like
Starting point is 00:08:30 Yeah you might remember him From True beer it Beer it Hunsoon Kim And I mean Like months and months Are gonna pass
Starting point is 00:08:37 The summer's gonna come It's gonna be a great day outside He's gonna be at a barbecue Hey hey Ken Here's a beer Oh don't go throwing it though Oh no Get out of the way guys
Starting point is 00:08:46 Get out of the way. Get out of the way. I had to give it to him in a cup. I had to give it to him. It's okay, guys. It's okay, everybody. Or he'll be like, hey, you want to go see a game at the... You want to go see a Blue Jays?
Starting point is 00:08:57 No, you can't. You can't do that. See you later. You want to see a Leaf game? You still out there? Now, if I was running the ACC, I'd ban him too. He's going to get a ban from Rogers Center. He or she is going to get a ban from Rogers Center for life.
Starting point is 00:09:11 They might get an MLB wide ban. That wouldn't surprise me either. Yeah, and what I was saying in my video is, I mean, Rodgers are part owners of MLSC. Could he not just be banned from those four teams too? Well, even if Rodgers doesn't play into it. Who's going to stick up for him and be like, no, you shouldn't do that. Nobody who runs the thing at MLSC is going to go, yeah, we're okay with it. Because he's got a history.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Once you have a history of something, he didn't do anything there, but the MLSC and Rodgers and everybody's got the right to refuse anybody based on that. I don't know how it works, but now, sorry. I just want to say this. I tweeted, I'm like, you know what, that's going to be the thing. But people took it as, and Mrs. Dangle even tweeted me, and she's like, I don't like that this is becoming a witch hunt. And she's right.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Yeah, no, she is. And that's the thing, is that I regret that, because when I tweeted this stuff, I don't think his picture was out yet. I hadn't seen it. So maybe it was, but I hadn't seen it. And that's the thing, it's like, if you know who the guy is, then just deal with the guy. Like, if you don't, like, releasing the picture to me was like, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Like, he's in trouble, man. There are crazy people out there. Next time you go to a Jays game, just look up a little bit and count the cameras. Okay? Count the cameras and ask yourself if you've seen the angle from that camera before. Odds are you haven't. There's probably more security cameras than there are, like, TV cameras and all that. So, look, pictures out there.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Police are investigating. let them do their thing. Yeah. Yeah. Let them do their thing. I mean, this whole thing about it might have been a girl,
Starting point is 00:10:49 I think, this blonde woman. I don't, the video I saw, it looked an awful lot like kind of a frisbee throw from a guy in the sweater that guy was wearing.
Starting point is 00:11:00 But, I don't know, maybe, maybe there's some deceptive angle. Here's the thing we haven't seen. I don't know. Right? Remember that
Starting point is 00:11:06 there was 4K cameras in the Rogers Center. Yes, I know for a fact the game was shot in 4k shot in 4k so while we don't have access to those tapes right now you can bet everybody who is investigating does and when you 4k cameras on that they can zoom in as close as they want they'll find you yeah the other thing is roger center has and i know this because i used to date someone who worked there uh has cameras everywhere they have video footage
Starting point is 00:11:31 apparently of that they have to like delete and get rid of of people in the in the hotel getting naked with the shades open. Like mid-game? Not mid-game, but that's the thing. You can look into the stadium if you're staying at the hotel that's attached to the Rogers Center. Always close the curtains in a hotel,
Starting point is 00:11:49 especially if it's a baseball stadium. Yeah, so people are in there having a good time, high-fiving it. So it's one of those things that they have the angles, let's let the police and the Rogers Center and everybody else do their jobs, and that guy
Starting point is 00:12:05 life's going to suck for him for a while here's what I think the just punishment is you ready he has to pay pay the expenses for this go to Baltimore
Starting point is 00:12:14 volunteer at a shelter for a month oh boy that's what I would say oh boy for a month for a month Jesus
Starting point is 00:12:20 I think that's fair it is a long time what is it 200 hours of community service it's like being in prison for a month being in Baltimore is not like being in prison
Starting point is 00:12:28 yeah but he doesn't live there yeah he needs to work and have a family I don't know I don't know if he's got kids just think about the goodwill that... You don't get to see them for a month.
Starting point is 00:12:36 So he's putting himself in jail. Well, he can come back on the weekends. No, that's too much. That's still very much jail. I just feel like we need to have some goodwill to Baltimore. If it's him. Yeah, if it's him. I want something good to come out of this for Baltimore. Because I feel like we need to...
Starting point is 00:12:52 A, this city needs to rehab its image because this is the second time this has happened in two playoff years, right? B, it's such a... It's an international story. But that would never happen in my city I have a question
Starting point is 00:13:06 about that when did the Jays get from the place to go get drunk cause oh they were always it's always been that way it's cheap
Starting point is 00:13:13 there's too many drunk people now you go and it's just a whole bunch of guys and they're wasted and it's not good you don't see that at Raptors games
Starting point is 00:13:20 you don't see them at Leafs games they all stop serving here's the thing and it's just as expensive yeah but at Jays game you see groups of guys who are just wasted
Starting point is 00:13:28 can I go ahead so do you guys remember the $2, $500 $500 level seats. The Toonie Tuesdays. They used to do that for the Blue Jays. It wasn't those two summers ago.
Starting point is 00:13:38 No, it was six or seven years ago now. No, it was. You could go to a Jays game for like 20 bucks. And the reason they stopped? You could go to a Jays game for the price of a junior hockey game. The reason they stopped was because of the amount of alcohol people were consuming. They were walking in and they had all this money left over and they're like, oh, well, we could sell
Starting point is 00:13:55 about the same amount of tickets if it's not Toonie Tuesday and not alienate the other fans who aren't rip-roaring drunk. I think that But Blue Jays games used to be about, well, I mean, the team sucks, but you can go get drunk and have a good time. But now the team doesn't suck, and people are used to going there and getting drunk and having a good time. And now everybody's coming all at once. All the drunks.
Starting point is 00:14:17 All the hardcore drunk fans coming at once. I think it's a—is it a baseball thing? I don't know. Or is it just a Blue Jays thing? I think it's a Toronto baseball thing. I don't know. I mean, having not—I've seen baseball in other parks. I've been to Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:14:30 I've been to Detroit. I've been to New York. Never seen that. Never been to a playoff game, though. They were playing to win when I went in San Francisco. Oh, really? They were very drunk. So I'm sure it happens.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Like football, for sure. Yeah. Football is for sure like that. Football is like Toronto baseball. Except times five. Is it because there's more people? Is it the more people there are, the more you want to drink? I think it's that it's special, too, right?
Starting point is 00:14:54 Like it's a special time, so you take it. There's people today are taking the day off, or the afternoon off, just so they can watch the Jays. Why? because they want to get hammered. They could watch it work on their MLB app or whatever. But no, no, no. Sportsnet Now app.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Yeah, Sportsnet Now app. Thank you. But you have that. There's the social part of it too, right? It's a special occasion, and I think that leads to more people getting drunk. I don't blame the Rogers Center on this one at all. Nothing they could have done better.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Let me throw this one out there because I think this is the answer. Commoners Can afford to go To the Jays game Yes Commoners Cannot afford to go
Starting point is 00:15:34 To see the Toronto Raptors Or the Toronto Maple Leafs The unwashed Attend baseball parks So When I saw the Raptors A couple years ago Right before the Rudy Gay trade
Starting point is 00:15:43 They trade Rudy Gay Out of town Oh man Right before this Doesn't that feel like It was ancient It was It was two and a half years ago
Starting point is 00:15:49 Three years ago So he I remember looking I had such a great time I remember going No one goes to see This team anyway How much are season's tickets?
Starting point is 00:15:58 Just for fun. I could split them with people. Do you know how much they were? Six grand. Woo! Six grand. That ain't bad for 41 games. Where are you sitting?
Starting point is 00:16:09 You're in the lower bowl. Six, seven grand. You know what? That is good value, but who just has six grand for entertainment? Well, I certainly didn't. This is what I'm saying. But it was like, I was surprised. I was surprised.
Starting point is 00:16:23 But when you compare that, say, to the Leafs, and I'm backing up your point on this one, it's long and belabored, but do you guys remember what the cost was to sit in the lower bowl or the front section, the first section of the Maple Leafs playoff games when they were in in 2013? It was probably at least $500. $10,000 to sit at the class. Okay, so I was right. You know what I mean? Technically, I was right. Yeah, there were tickets going for $10,000. $10,000 for one playoff game.
Starting point is 00:16:53 So you're right. I think it's that the masses can afford to go. And you know what? Put 55,000 people anywhere, and something is going to go wrong. There's 55,000 people! Here's one. I was at a Boston Bruins game in Boston against the Leafs. Do they play in Boston? They do. March 2011, so just a couple months before they win the cup. so everyone in my section was like relatively friendly i went there expecting a certain thing i mean you see videos on youtube of them like kicking habs fans in the back when they're just
Starting point is 00:17:29 trying to take a pee oh yeah oh i i went really i went to the bathroom mid-shift and people were getting mad at me for standing up screw you screw you i'm not gonna be that one caught in the bathroom at intermission sorry so anyway that's what i was going prepared for oh it's it's awful but that's what it was going prepared for but everyone in my section was pretty nice and I went hey you know you guys are pretty good you know you might have this
Starting point is 00:17:57 reputation a little bit but no you're fine like do you find that's often the case and the guy goes ah nah if you were sitting up there you'd probably get your ass kicked I was just like wow and I did have
Starting point is 00:18:13 stuff shouted at me from the higher up sections Really? Go back to Toronto, you effing Q. Nice. Yeah. Is that a word that rhymes with gear? Richard. Richard Gear.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Richard Gear. Yes. You know what's funny? We freak out about one beer can, right? Because ultimately, at the end of the day, did the beer can connect? No, the beer can didn't connect. Is it wrong? Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:37 But it's one guy who threw a beer can, okay? Not the end of the freaking world, everybody. The thing that I laugh at When I see football Football matches from Europe Oh soccer Can you imagine Can you imagine that happening here
Starting point is 00:18:54 It would never happen here And that's expected to happen They throw fire And connect I was like I've never seen A fan throw something at a baseball player In my life I can't remember it And then someone just sends me a video
Starting point is 00:19:10 of someone trying to take a corner kick in Turkey. They couldn't do it. They couldn't do it. So, like... I want to see this video. It's funny. Like, we see it and we're like, that's awful.
Starting point is 00:19:24 That's embarrassing. And then Mike Darnay, our favorite Pens blogger there, goes, LOL, all of Canada is looking for a guy who threw a beer can. And then you kind of go, well, when you put it like that, yeah, I guess it's not so bad.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Listen, Mike Darnay, all of Canada is pretty small, man. That's why we're all looking. There are just many of us. Yeah, we're just spread out. Because we believe we can find them because there's only so many of us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Anyway, we wanted to not, we didn't want to dwell on the bad and the negative and preach from our high horse on this. Obviously, it sucks and it blows for the reputation of our city. But at the end of the day, it happens everywhere and you cannot tell me,
Starting point is 00:20:04 no sports fan can look me in the eye and say it hasn't happened in my town. Now, I do have a question. I have a moral dilemma. Well, I was just going to say, it's not just Toronto. All of Canada has to answer for Blue Jays fans. Yeah. Because American CS has won.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Oh, for sure. Toronto doesn't exist. Yellowknife, Toronto, same thing. Iqaluit. Iqaluit. Winnipeg. Quebec City. Kenora.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Still picking on Kenora. It's true. It's all the same. I love the announcers. The baseball announcers can't say Toronto, Ontario. They have to go Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Earth. Planet Earth Milky Way Galaxy
Starting point is 00:20:41 Not here It's fully It's not in the United States We just want you to Just so we're clear Not in the continental United States They say CN Tower Like it's the first time
Starting point is 00:20:50 They've ever read it on paper The CN Tower I don't quite know how to say this Diabetes? One of my favorite And there's the Ripley's Believe it or not Aquarium
Starting point is 00:21:03 And that's French We're here for a game of bossy ball bossy ball the the thing the moral here's
Starting point is 00:21:13 okay so here's the moral question gentlemen alright so the three of us go to a game and let's say
Starting point is 00:21:20 we bring our friend from our cantankerous twitter friend Justin Fisher with us oh dear all four of us
Starting point is 00:21:26 screaming obscenities at everybody well we wouldn't because we're smarter than that exactly because he's cantankerous
Starting point is 00:21:31 and so cantankerous Justin by the way that should be his twitter name cantankerous Justin
Starting point is 00:21:36 gets a few too many in him. Which is two. Yeah. Oh, shots fired, Justin. Yeah, oh, shoot. And we are in the outfield, and Adam Jones and Kim are racing for a ball. It was hit to
Starting point is 00:21:52 center left, and they're going for it, and our friend, cantankerous Justin, throws the beer. Okay? Throws the beer. It misses. Same sort of situation that happened on Tuesday. Would you, as a friend, turn him in? I would definitely be like, let's get the F out of here.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Yeah? Yes, let's get the F out of here. I'd be apologizing to everybody. But would you be able to turn your friend in? I would just tell him, look, stupid. You're on every camera in the country. Turn yourself in. I don't think I could do it myself.
Starting point is 00:22:33 But I would convince him to do it himself Okay, look At this point, if you do something in a sports stadium They know You're caught You're caught the instant you do it Just turn yourself in You moron
Starting point is 00:22:49 Like Forget the fact that there's cameras There's also 50,000 people You're getting caught Sorry I'm actually surprised that they haven't had somebody else come out and say Hey I was sitting right behind this guy
Starting point is 00:23:04 Or this girl Jesse And if you're not caught inside the stadium You'll be caught because you're the only person Leaving the Blue Jays game Halfway through it That's tied Yeah the tied playoff Blue Jays game
Starting point is 00:23:15 With the Jays up to bat Jesse I live by chameleon air songs And no snitching Yeah I mean it's easy to say No I am a law abiding citizen But okay Think of all your friends who you would turn in
Starting point is 00:23:29 And okay now you just listed someone who's not your friend now would you do what Steve did and say listen yeah you should turn
Starting point is 00:23:38 yourself in dude you're getting caught turn yourself in you idiot but I wouldn't turn him in myself what if you
Starting point is 00:23:45 officer arrest this man security what if it was Justin what if it was you could do it and it was like
Starting point is 00:23:53 like Crimestoppers like you're anonymous would you do that oh if I get a thousand bucks oh for sure my buddy would understand
Starting point is 00:24:01 I believe the Toronto Sun was offering $10,000 and it turned out to be potentially one of their one of their guys yeah I mean look
Starting point is 00:24:12 you go to jail for like the night but then after we split the money come on man come on man alright
Starting point is 00:24:22 I just thought I'd ask the question I pretend I don't know you for a week collect the money from the Toronto Sun guess what five grand yeah
Starting point is 00:24:29 okay we're agreed then Yeah, you definitely convinced them to turn themselves in, but... Can you afford oak? Well, your Uncle Stevie can. So when we come back, we got to talk about the Leafs lineup for tonight and really just talk about a little bit more about the preseason,
Starting point is 00:24:43 especially one Freddy Gauthier, who some people have been like, it's like when you're high school and everybody's maturing at different rates and all of a sudden one day someone comes in And you're like, you are far better looking than I ever thought possible. Because I am 15 and I don't know what's possible. But my gosh, do you look much better now?
Starting point is 00:25:09 This is Freddy Gauthier. He is our teen romance. Teen romance Freddy Gauthier. Next on the Steve Dangle Podcast. That was great. That end of that last segment was great. Because now I know what the inside of Adam from high school's head was like. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I mean, what was better than the first day of high school? it was amazing oh no the first day of every the first day of every grade was great cause you saw who got
Starting point is 00:25:32 who got the upgrades over the summer who got the upgrades this is not recorded by the way oh it's not a part of it no we didn't
Starting point is 00:25:41 no Steve was trying to start it I was trying to start it oh wait okay fine fine no no you can't recreate it that's done
Starting point is 00:25:48 or maybe all of this is going in maybe we're back on the fan I didn't want to seem okay I didn't want to seem that vain but we all were
Starting point is 00:25:56 in high school yeah yeah okay fine okay fine you wanna no no no we're going
Starting point is 00:26:02 no we're going we're going I didn't think we were going I thought I thought we were just having a discussion among friends but you know
Starting point is 00:26:08 and here's the problem for me I never had the upgrade I actually I if you look at my high school pictures I got progressively worse
Starting point is 00:26:17 over the years because what happened was oh you were a rock star though well if you ask me but in grade 11 I got braces and then
Starting point is 00:26:24 i started to eat mcdonald's all the time and maybe underage drink maybe allegedly and maybe your weight loss plan was to switch from beer to a two six jack so i maybe put on 50 pounds in grade 12 so i maybe didn't uh yeah and those those are the years when people don't care what your personality is it's more about what your looks are there is a video that has hopefully been burned to ash of uh adam walking out of uh buddy's cottage oh no and the narrator on the camera like Because Adam just walks out, and he's scratching his belly, and the narrator just goes, well, there's Adam looking slim and trim. You lost it.
Starting point is 00:27:04 No, he was right. I was not at a good spot. You lost it. Can we talk about, though, someone who definitely got some upgrades over the summer? Oh, you. Someone who definitely looks better on the first day of school now. Adam. Golden shoehorn.
Starting point is 00:27:17 I love it. Freddie Gauthier. Freddie the goat. So, I, full disclosure, was like, I was watching the game, and I was thinking, hey, his skating looks a lot better. And then I heard the announcers go, well, and Freddy Gauthier's skating looks a lot better. I'm like, the announcer just confirmed what I thought. But is that true? Am I actually seeing that, or am I just not?
Starting point is 00:27:40 No, you're seeing it. You're 100% seeing it. I mean, the Leafs have Barb Underhill, not on staff, because I think she probably makes more as a consultant. But she is a former figure skater, former world champion, and she's teaching these guys how to skate. And I think, let's call it what it is with Freddie Gauthier. And I think people being honest with yourselves, you'll know I'm right. How would Babcock say it? Well, let's be honest.
Starting point is 00:28:10 You know, not everyone was a fan of that pick when it happened in 2013. It was before I got here. But, you know, some people are cheering for this kid to fail. And I think that's wrong You know He's This big guy Seems like he's
Starting point is 00:28:25 Of the old regime And I understand that But He's a player Okay now If you're Donald Trump Do his scouting report Freddie the Goat
Starting point is 00:28:35 You're gonna love him You see No I gotta talk like a fish Freddie the Goat You're gonna love him His skating It's wonderful It's the best skating
Starting point is 00:28:45 I've ever seen His shot It's like no shot You've ever seen Gretzky, bum Freddy Gauthier, the best You gotta see Steve do this on the video portion Of the podcast too because his hands
Starting point is 00:28:57 You got your little hands out Your Donald Trump hands So Freddy Gauthier, are we actually looking at a guy who could be an NHLer? Yeah, I don't know about this season Like I heard from a couple people like Oh yeah, he's gonna make it out of camp Alright, let's calm down I don't know about that
Starting point is 00:29:10 The Leafs have a full line that they're gonna have to cut That's gonna be real hard Yeah, I keep teasing this video and it keeps getting pushed back Because stuff keeps happening but I'm going to try to go through the Leafs lineup and the way I see it, let's say they have 13 forward slots. They might have 14,
Starting point is 00:29:28 a full lineup and two spares. I think it's going to be one spare. The way I see it, they got 26 guys competing for those spots. Now you can eliminate one because they already said Soshnikov's going to start with the Marlies. So 25. It's going to be tough for the GOAT to make it,
Starting point is 00:29:46 But the preseason is important because if he performs well now, which he is, I think he's making believers out of some people who were not, he could be an early call-up. And guys get hurt. Every year it happens. Well, and you mentioned something on the last show that I thought was really, really interesting. Because when you make a call-up, you don't want them to be an AHL call-up.
Starting point is 00:30:12 You want them to be an NHL call-up who's ready. Yes. Yes, you want to call up an NHL player. Good teams have NHL players playing in the American Hockey League. That's just how it is. You know, Pittsburgh, I think part of the reason they won the Cup, obviously they have the star power, but what have we talked about? Competent bums.
Starting point is 00:30:35 It's not the nicest sounding term, but I would argue that a Brian Rust, I think his first name was Brian, and Connor Sheery, they're just as important to a cup run because at very least they're not a liability right if you have that star power the rest of the cheap guys you have filling that lineup can't suck because then that cancels it out right yeah they got to be able to at least fill a role so when you're i think i think what separates um some playoff teams from non-playoff teams teams that just miss it every team gets injuries right yep so who has the better call-ups like let's say a guy on the Leafs third line gets injured I need to be able to call up someone from the Marlies and you
Starting point is 00:31:27 don't notice you know what I mean yeah if okay there are your elite guys if Matthews gets hurt Kadri, JVR, Nylander if those guys get hurt you know, Morgan Riley, Jake Gardner yeah, you can't quite replace that, but if Colin Greening gets hurt I need to be able to
Starting point is 00:31:51 replace that right away with a guy of equal maybe even greater talent this, I mean I think they said if I remember correctly, Connor Brown would have made the Leafs out of camp last year had he not gotten hurt I might be wrong there
Starting point is 00:32:06 They said Nylander would too But they had to send him down The Leafs had a few guys who were good enough for the team That they sent down for strategic And developmental purposes That's probably going to happen again this year I think they want to make the playoffs If it's possible
Starting point is 00:32:21 But they're not going to do it at the expense of Ruining a player's development It's very interesting And the GOAT though I think has put himself on a lot of fans' radar Like I saw I saw people going And, oh, Gauthier, he's playing in his fourth rookie tournament. Not good for a first-round pick.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Throw it out the window that he was a first-round pick. Throw it out the window. He's in the pool. He's in the same pool as Brendan Leipzig, as Josh Levo, as Connor Brown, as Mitch Marner. They're all in the prospect pool. How does he get into the lineup? How does he fit? It's about chemistry.
Starting point is 00:33:02 By the way, tonight's lineup, old Stevie boy, when he's right, he's right. Let me pull it up. Let me pull it up, and it's not coming up. Here it is. First of all, everyone's going to have a conniption about this. First line, Matt Martin. Oh, who's he playing with? Matthews and Marner.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Nice. The triple M line. The mm line. The ma-ma-ma line. Yeah, the ma-ma-ma. The Mamma Mia line The Mar-Mat-Mar Mar-Mat-Mar
Starting point is 00:33:36 It works Good Pokemon The Mar-Mat-Martin Yeah Mar-Mat-Mar His special attack is Hitting everything Except the net Oh shots fired
Starting point is 00:33:49 Second line JVR Oh Who's he playing with? Nylander Which means Zach Hyman Is the other winger
Starting point is 00:34:00 Because they're going to keep Hyman and Nylander together, it looks like. I think Zach Hyman makes this team, man. Signs are pointing towards it. Babcock could not have said more good things about him last year when the Leafs were the last place team in the NHL. Zach Hyman is what... We thought he was. And we let him off the hook.
Starting point is 00:34:20 No, he wasn't. Zach Hyman is what a lot of coaches, you know, you kind of... Coaches say the same things about Zach Hyman that you roll your eyes at if it were said about a veteran player. But Zach Hyman has that work ethic and that sandpaper with upside as well. I think...
Starting point is 00:34:40 So he's got the grit chart and a little of the skill too? He's got... You know, you sign a Matt Martin for what Zach Hyman already brings. Does that make sense? Yeah, but I feel like if it comes down to a power play,
Starting point is 00:34:53 you could put Zach Hyman on it and he'd do well. I think you could. I'm not sure about Matt Martin on that. I'm not sure. No, but do you understand what I'm saying? Like he said, I want players working as hard as Zach Hyman. And the Marlies, all they would do,
Starting point is 00:35:09 I couldn't get anyone to give me a concrete answer because I get the impression Zach Hyman was embarrassed a little bit because it seemed like they brought him up in every video session. Guys, here's what Hyman is doing. You need to be doing that. And they would show everybody. oh so there might have been a little resentment towards him too right i don't know about resentment but like i mean like if you're hyman you got to be a little embarrassed because every single video
Starting point is 00:35:36 session they're going look at this kid and i mean he was in the ahl for a reason i doubt every game was stellar i'm sure he got yelled at a couple times um but they love this kid the third line connor brown freddie goche and casperi captain how much more can you say none of you are making the team I'm sorry hey you know who's looked great this preseason though Kasperi Kapanen he sure has and you know it's funny he's another late first rounder where I go you know I don't I feel like when you have first round the way that people's minds look at it is all 30 players must be superstars must make it or not even make it superstars or pick was a failure well the The majority is, the majority of first-rounders don't even get to their second contract into the NHL.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Wow. That's the majority. The vast, vast, vast majority. Kapanen, by my eye, okay, he was a healthy scratch in Game 1 of the Marlies Calder Cup run, but by my eye, he was one of their best forwards. And they healthy scratched a lot of players because they were rotating them in and stuff too, right? That's not an insult. He was a healthy scratch in Game 1, and then, if I remember correctly, was never a healthy scratch again.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Well, there you go. And you know what? That's going to be an awfully good-looking first line for the Marlies. Go Jay Brown and Kapanen. And then the fourth line tonight, which I think is going to be the Leafs' first line, Nazem Kadri at center, Leo Komarov on the right,
Starting point is 00:37:07 which means who's on the left? Milan Michalik. Milan Michalik. I think they really like Bozak and JVR together, So I think that'll be The start of your second line And take your guess Who you want to throw
Starting point is 00:37:24 On the right there I think Malay Mahalik Might be on the first line So we've got Greening Collin Greening Brooks Lake And Tyler Bozak
Starting point is 00:37:33 Are the three Big omissions Up front Do you see Brooks Lake In the top six at all? No not in the top six He's not going to play Every game this season
Starting point is 00:37:44 He's going to have to sit Well yeah He's going to have to be a healthy scratch I think Colin Greening will probably have to be too but so will a lot of guys
Starting point is 00:37:51 so if Marner makes it so will he yeah and people are going to have a conniption but that's okay it is what it is
Starting point is 00:37:58 let them have the conniption have a conniption if Austin Matthews has to sit then you have a conniption yeah that's not
Starting point is 00:38:05 going to happen that's not going to happen do you have the defensive pairings I could look them up real quick that would be really great
Starting point is 00:38:15 for now I'll stretch while you do that thank you Yeah, I think the interesting thing in all this is that third line. I think the most interesting part of the Toronto Maple Leafs is going to be who that third line is. It's that, because it will be a young team.
Starting point is 00:38:30 So you think, you got to think Nylander-Hyman for sure. And I thought that Nylander and Matthews played quite well together. They haven't had much time to develop a rapport, but they seem to work quite well. And Nylander, even on the wing, he's playing center tonight. absolutely, absolutely is a playmaking guy. Like, he can score, but he's got vision. Yeah, he can do it all.
Starting point is 00:38:54 His shot's disgusting. These are the Leafs' defense pairings at practice. So there's four of them, right? Hunwick, Zaitsev, Marincin, Riley. Hold on. Isn't Hunwick a right shot? No, he's a left. Oh, he is. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:09 So Hunwick on the left, Zaitsev on the right. Marincin on the left, Riley on the right. So Riley is still playing And they played together last year Yes After Dion was traded Which You'll see a theme here
Starting point is 00:39:20 Jake Gardner on the left Connor Carrick on the right And I think it's Nicholas Brouillard On the left And Roman Hrabarenka
Starting point is 00:39:31 On the right Where's Roman Polak? Well I mean It's preseason So he might just Have an off day I don't know if I don't think he's hurt
Starting point is 00:39:39 Okay I also don't there's no room for him in the opening night lineup there isn't they're gonna have a two million dollar guy who i think is gonna sit more games than he plays i it's very confusing i was confused by that signing but i feel like they did it just because in case like okay hunwick zeitz of morinson riley gardner carrick i think most leafs fans can live with that or you You can change the order, whatever. I think most Leafs fans can live with that.
Starting point is 00:40:13 There's no Corrado in there. No. And Corrado's played pretty well, too. He looks good. Yeah. There's no Corrado or Polak. So here's my question about... I've got a question about Marincin.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Okay, so here's a guy that came here for basically nothing. The Oilers were not... Still making very little. Yeah, well, and what we gave him... Oh, it was like a fourth-round pick in Brad Ross. So it was a fourth-round pick. And a contract, basically. what has this guy
Starting point is 00:40:40 developed into what is what do we have in Martin Marincin my favorite my favorite assessment of him that I've read
Starting point is 00:40:49 is he is he is a shutdown defenseman in 2016 which you can't do what Scott Stevens used to do you can't do
Starting point is 00:40:57 what Ken Danico used to do you can't just murder everyone on the ice you gotta it's more about possession
Starting point is 00:41:04 getting the puck out of your zone He's really good at doing that Every now and then He likes to pull the pin out And throw a little grenade Into the slot Which I'm sure
Starting point is 00:41:12 Mike Babcock loves Oh I'm sure he loves He Straight up Cost the Leafs Two games last year Wow He did
Starting point is 00:41:19 He cost them two games You can definitively say He Coughed the puck up In the final I think one was In the final minute And I think one was
Starting point is 00:41:27 With like three minutes left He cost them the game And if Bernier Whoever was in net Didn't do that great Of a job in the shot But, well, okay, Marincin sure helped it along.
Starting point is 00:41:38 You know what I mean? Sure. But he's solid. He is solid. And he's going to make mistakes. That team last year was going to make mistakes. And this team will too. This team will too.
Starting point is 00:41:48 But maybe not the same way. Hopefully less. It's interesting to me, though, that he seems to like that Marincin-Riley pairing so much because I thought the big fuss with Babcock was he really likes lefties on the left and righties on the right. He has enough righties to do that now.
Starting point is 00:42:07 But he doesn't seem to be doing it. Have we seen a Zaitsev-Riley? I don't remember. We have seen Gardner-Kerrick in the preseason, and we also saw it in the NHL last year. And what do we have in Kerrick, do you think? Oh, my God. Leaf fans, most underrated prospect I think they got.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Honestly, I'm so excited for Connor Kerrick. Now, is he a guy they even drafted, or did they get him in a trade? They got him in the Brooks-Like deal. wow they the leafs robbed the capitals blind i think they got i think the trade was winnick and a fourth for brooks like connor carrick in a second wow that's a wicked deal and carrick um he's a he was an offensive monster for the marlies he's not going to get the same freedom in the nhl
Starting point is 00:42:56 um but we saw him put up uh at least a couple goals with the leafs there at the end of the season and did you see his hit on bobby ryan the other night yes i did oh this kid and i got to see it in the playoffs is a nasty nasty player he's not huge but he's thick and mean he's mean you do not like playing against connor carrick i'm really excited for him so you think he's definitely nhl defenseman yes that's pretty amazing that you get two nhl players for daniel winnick that i mean like quite honestly yeah i I mean... And a second round pick.
Starting point is 00:43:35 It's pretty good. I guess the Capitals needed the cap space that badly. They needed the cap space? You see, because... But I'm like, man, Brooks-like's not that bad. No, he's not. Holy smokes. The Leafs, yeah, that was a murderous trade.
Starting point is 00:43:51 And the thing is, if Brooks-like, and this is not anything against Brooks-like, he's making too much money for what he is now. But he is not a useful player. And can step in And if he plays 50 or 60 games Because that's going to be
Starting point is 00:44:06 A reality for some of these guys Great I bet he plays as many games As Winnick And as Marner You know like Those guys are all They're going to have to
Starting point is 00:44:15 There's going to be nights Where you know Babcock likes his matchups So you know Versus certain teams He's going to put players in What I love about a guy Like Brooks like
Starting point is 00:44:24 Is he's a Genuinely great human being Yes he is And that You I mean we We've made fun of how much people make of that because we say, great leadership, great leadership.
Starting point is 00:44:35 It's valuable. You need guys in the room that are going to be super cool and that handle not playing really well. So the Marlies and the playoffs, it was the first time I had really covered a team with regularity and gone to the practices and stuff like that. I used to think too much was made of that. of being a great guy
Starting point is 00:45:01 in the room or whatever. Man, it's true. And all the Subban stuff with the team was sick of him. I resent that the team was sick of him. But if you have a guy in the room people don't like, it does weigh on the team.
Starting point is 00:45:17 It does weigh on the team, rightly or wrongly. The point is, trade the other guys. That's what I was saying. Oh, you don't like them? Good. Alright, I'll move you out of town then. See you later. Take care. but if you are a depth player you better be good to be around you better be fun to be around
Starting point is 00:45:32 and it seems like Brooke's like I don't know if you follow him on Instagram but he's had Kapanen and Nylander over a couple times or watching Dancing with the Stars and like
Starting point is 00:45:39 because his wife-to-be is on that and I think it's you know I just think it's really really cool to see that you know what I'm I'm so excited guys
Starting point is 00:45:49 what? I think you've heard it on last episode and this one I'm getting it back I about a month ago Was so jacked
Starting point is 00:45:57 For the season to begin It's the 100th year For the NHL 100th year for the Leafs 10th season of LFR Podcast is Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga Going along
Starting point is 00:46:07 We're gonna have a big year It's gonna be a big year And then the World Cup Sapped all my attention And energy For like two weeks Two and a half weeks And I was just left
Starting point is 00:46:18 Really tired by the end of it And the best of three Championship series That everyone That no one predicted And everybody predicted the outcome for here's Canada's anthem
Starting point is 00:46:27 oh Canada and team Europe I'm telling you they should have played the montage they're not the the montage all the European
Starting point is 00:46:37 national anthems on top of each other the one we played oh yeah yeah yeah so I'm just I got it all back and I'm more excited
Starting point is 00:46:47 than I was before there's gonna be some magic this year no matter what the outcome and it's gonna be very very exciting now we gotta wrap it up
Starting point is 00:46:53 on the radio portion of the show because we're already there. We're already there. Whoa! But on the Sportsnet portion, Sportsnet.ca portion, where you can download
Starting point is 00:47:00 the Steve Dangle podcast at any time, we're going to go through, we went through last week the ratings that USA Today had given potential NHL teams. As in, where would they finish? How are the NHL teams
Starting point is 00:47:12 going to finish this year? Now, USA Today, God bless them, they had to kind of make it up as they went along because that's what you do with predictions. They're estimations.
Starting point is 00:47:21 NHL 17 has done theirs. And I think you're going to love this because, I mean, listen, they put a lot of research and development into who these players are, what these teams actually should look like. And I will tell you, we will run through both Western and Eastern conferences, plus a little bit of what's up in Liberty Village, our favorite feature on the show, in the download section. How does the theme go? That's what's up in Liberty Village. We need to work on that. Hey, this podcast is brought to you by Panago Pizza. We'll see you on the download section.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Okay, so we've got a couple things to get through here. First off, we're going to do the NHL 17 ratings. Second, we're going to do the top 10 unrestricted free agents of the summer 2017. Oh, okay. Which is already out. So let the fever begin! What? Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Why? Because I think it's interesting to watch, because all of them will be Toronto Maple Leafs. At one point or another. Jeff Veyette was... We were sitting beside each other at a World Cup game, and he was talking about his optimism
Starting point is 00:48:24 Jeffler yeah Jeffler he was talking about his optimism for the Leafs and all this and then he's like and I think they go for it this year
Starting point is 00:48:32 I can't remember which year it was and I'm like yeah why is that and he's talking about all the contracts that end that year and I'm like
Starting point is 00:48:39 you're out of your mind you're out of your mind like you can't predict that you can't you're what are you doing what are you doing how many times
Starting point is 00:48:48 do we say it's nice to know Jeffler as objective as he tries to be is still a huge Leaf fan Oh, my God. No, no, no. But, like, so am I. Like, I'm not trying to hold myself to a higher standard.
Starting point is 00:48:57 I'm saying, why would you do that to your brain? How many times do we go, this guy's going to free agency in a week. Stamkos. And then it never happens. Stamkos. How are you, in two years? In two years. You don't even know if that guy's going to be good.
Starting point is 00:49:13 He's going to blow out a knee. He's going to get hit by Matt Cook or something. Jeff and I, consequently, were talking about a similar thing. And he's like, yeah, I can't wait for that Matthews-McDavid-Marner line that's going to happen in 2022. I'm like, oh, I can't wait for free agent frenzy 2022 because that's when it's going to happen. That's eight years from now. I know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Closer to seven. Oh. Like, what are you doing to your brain? Not actually, Steve, but actually. By the way, congratulations to Connor McDavid. We didn't get to this, but he is the youngest captain in Oilers history. In NHL history. NHL history.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Can I play for you An interview I did With Connor McDavid Several weeks ago You sure can Oh Connor Yeah Me and my boy C-Dawg
Starting point is 00:49:54 C-Max I actually asked him About this very thing And this is on Breakfast Television So he probably didn't know About this a few weeks ago No
Starting point is 00:50:05 It was right before The World Cup too It'll be interesting To see what happens Now going into this season You've obviously got Some huge changes On the Oilers
Starting point is 00:50:13 We're talking about Milan Lucic And you know Taylor Hall's been traded, Adam Larson's joining the team. You've got a really great young core there, and you have for a long time. There's one thing, though, that's missing, and it's something that Wayne Gretzky held and Mark Messier held and Doug Wade held and Ryan Smith and, most recently, Andrew Ferenc.
Starting point is 00:50:33 A lot of people are questioning, are you the next captain of the Edmonton Oilers? I don't really want to talk too much about that. So, I mean, I'm just looking to have a good training camp and show everyone that I'm ready to go again and show them the respect of my teammates and coaches all over again, just like I tried to do last year. So, we'll see what happens or anything like that,
Starting point is 00:51:00 but that's not too much of an issue right now. Oh, Adam. I had to ask. I had to ask. I said, before we did that interview, I'm like, I'm going for it. And I shouldn't have done that. But I had to ask. Adam is a professional young boy,
Starting point is 00:51:16 but he's also a very respectful young boy. You didn't have to throw Ferentz in there, Adam. You didn't. You didn't, but you kind of did because he's the current Oilers captain. Was. Was. Yeah, well, yeah, you got...
Starting point is 00:51:29 Unceremoniously stripped, yeah. You stripped of a roster spot as well. But you went from Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier and Doug Waite and Ryan Smith and Andrew Ferentz. that's cute that was cute so he answers
Starting point is 00:51:46 at that point I'm like yep so he's gonna be captain oh 100% and we all knew we all knew but you know what the reason I brought
Starting point is 00:51:52 that clip up was because I respect the way he dipsy doodled his way around that answer oh I'm just trying to have
Starting point is 00:51:59 a good camp and I don't really you know NHL media training yeah he's good NHL players NHL players suck at keeping secrets
Starting point is 00:52:07 yes yes alright NHL 17 simulation ratings. This is how NHL 17 says the season
Starting point is 00:52:17 should go. Now, they're not saying that it has to go this way. Please don't get your nose out of joint if your team isn't going to do well. Your what? Your nose out of joint. I don't know. My mom used that the other day. Once an episode, Adam is like a mid-50s aunt. He's got a really big hat on
Starting point is 00:52:35 and it's got a flower in it and he says something ridiculous. And he cleans a smudge off your face with spit. Because, you know, when you smell something funny, it's like your nose gets out of joint, right? So you don't know to get your nose out of joint. And plus, I also thought it fit because hockey players break their noses all the time. No. Just saying.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Just saying. So here's how the Western Conference shakes out. Nashville Predators with 110 points in number one. Whoa! And I'm starting from first to worst. Dallas Stars, 107 points. Good enough for second. They say San Jose also has 107 points, but they will be third.
Starting point is 00:53:06 So I guess the head-to-head will be, or the goal differential, I'm not sure which one. Whatever. Chicago Blackhawks, 102 points. At number five in the conference, but in the wild card, because the NHL is goofy, the St. Louis Blues with 95 points. Yeah, that makes sense, because Central Division, right? Five teams from the Central would make it.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Los Angeles Kings at 93 points. Squeak. The other wild card team, and again, I'm really surprised by this. I was surprised with USA Today. I'm surprised again. The Minnesota Wild making it. Why do people love them so much? With 87 points.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Who did they add over the summer? Bruce Boudreaux Has to be Yeah No That's a good add That's a good add Bruce Boudreaux has to be
Starting point is 00:53:46 That is a potentially Team changing add And In the last playoff spot If I'm counting correctly Wasn't that it? Yep You are
Starting point is 00:53:53 Oh okay The Edmonton Oilers No 85 points I need to see this now There's gonna be haves and have nots The Edmonton Oilers No no no Steve
Starting point is 00:54:01 Why why why Because I don't want you But I need to see the list I need to see the list That you Wait 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 No, you're right. Wow.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Edmonton Oilers. Yo, can you give Connor McDavid two heart trophies if they make the playoffs? Yeah. Can he be the first player to ever have that happen? He deserves the heart and the Jack Adams if they make it. Yeah, oh yeah. Oh yeah. And Todd McClellan, I don't know, give him something else.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Give him a pin. Just barely edged out are three teams. The Calgary Flames with 84 points, so they're edged out by one point. Coyotes, edged out by two points with 83. Jets, 82 points Edged out by 3 points EA Sports loves Canada Anaheim Ducks, 77 points
Starting point is 00:54:44 Okay A lot of people think they're going to take a dip Not like that I'm one of those people, that's a dip That's like 25 points At least 20 points Why do people think they're going to take a dip? I mean, Freddie Anderson not being there
Starting point is 00:54:59 By the way, shout out to all the Ducks fans Who actually tweeted me after the podcast Last episode and were like Please take care of Anderson We really did love him I know It's sad And here Steve is
Starting point is 00:55:10 Like Taking Anderson for granted I'm not Adam Doesn't Doesn't like him Doesn't think he's a good person I think he
Starting point is 00:55:17 Thinks he kicks puppies What Well I mean I've seen him do it But They traded their Starting goaltender That's gonna hurt ya
Starting point is 00:55:24 And they replaced Bruce Boudreaux With Randy Carlisle Like I've never seen More of a U-turn Like, more of a 180 in terms of style. And that's if Hampus Lindholm and Ricard Raquel play. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Now, it looks like Raquel's going to get done, I think, based on what I saw last time. Lindholm? I don't know. I don't know. Are they going to trade Cam Fowler? I don't know. Randy probably wouldn't like Hampus Lindholm anyway. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Colorado Avalanche with 64 points. Good enough for second last... Sorry, 74 points. Oh. Good enough for a second last place in the conference. And in the last place in the Western Conference, the team that traded prospects and picks for Eric Goodbranson, the Vancouver Canuckmans.
Starting point is 00:56:17 With how many points? 63. That's the same amount from USA Today, I believe. Man. It is the same amount. You're right. So, just to make sure. And by the way, that would be last place in the NHL by a country mile.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Who's the second, or what's the second last? Colorado. And then, we'll get into it. We have made so much fun of the Canucks, and they deserved it. Screw you. They deserved it. This year's, I don't think this year's Vancouver Canucks are three wins worse than last year's Leafs. I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:56:53 They're six points behind last year's Leafs. They're five points behind the Leafs the year before. But remember, remember that they are playing teams because the Western Conference, at least by this, it's a conference of have and have-nots. There are only two teams by this metric that have points in the 90s. There are four that have it in the 100s and the rest of them have it in the 80s because there are teams that have and teams that have not. So I think what they're banking on is those divisional and those inter-conference games, which there are far more numerous than the ones where they're going to play against the Eastern Conference. where the Vancouver Canucks just straight up are not going to stand a chance
Starting point is 00:57:29 because they're a different era team. It's, yes. So I think of styles. Yes. Right? So are the Oilers better than the Canucks, for example, on paper? Like, let's say,
Starting point is 00:57:45 let's pick a random Eastern Conference team out of a hat, right? To play the Vancouver Canucks or the Edmonton Oilers. Who would you expect To win I might say the Canucks However
Starting point is 00:58:00 What has the Canucks back end done I think it's gotten slower Oh yeah And you're going to throw that out Against Connor McDavid And his band of merry men And let's not take away from Ryan Nugent Hopkins Nugent Tompkins
Starting point is 00:58:18 And Jordan Eberle And Niall Yakupoff He's not a slow player. Who do you think is better on paper? The Boston Bruins or the Toronto Maple Leafs? Who's better on paper? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Bruins. I would say the Boston Bruins. However, I am dying to see what the Leafs youngsters do to that Boston defense. Whereas with a team like Buffalo, I think the Leafs will struggle a little bit more because the Buffalo's faster. Yeah, but their defense in the Atlantic is no good. No good. Well, except for Tampa, which is monstrous.
Starting point is 00:58:53 And Florida has Zach Blatt Who cares who else they have And I mean Shea Weber They have Notka Branson That's what they have Detroit I am dying to see what the Leafs youngsters Do to Detroit
Starting point is 00:59:05 It's not looking like a good year for Detroit It's not looking like a good year But Who looks better on paper Detroit or Toronto I'd say probably Detroit But stylistically I'm dying to see what the Leafs can do to them
Starting point is 00:59:18 And the one thing that you never see in matchups Are head coaches Head coaches don't get a rating and I think they should in the NHL games. I think your coaching should count for something. That is interesting. Because it does count for something in the NHL, perhaps now more than ever.
Starting point is 00:59:32 The skill gap that used to exist, I think, and I have no analytics to back this up, but I'm sure they're out there, has diminished. The difference between good players and great players is a lot smaller than it used to be. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:59:48 And that's the thing. Guys who are in the third and fourth line back in the day were still bonafide NHLers. Now, you don't know. You don't know, man. If a team's deep enough, the first two lines of the AHL team could
Starting point is 01:00:04 easily play in the NHL. I think Ray Ferraro said it recently. Part of the reason scoring's down is there are fewer bad players. I mean, can't take anything away from Bobby Orr. Except for Paul Morton. Paul Morton's terrible. You can't take
Starting point is 01:00:20 anything away from Bobby Orr. however he was however Steve's gonna take something away from no he was smoking guys who barely belonged in the league
Starting point is 01:00:29 yeah in a time when the expansion expanded to players that would have never got a job the league went from six teams to twelve
Starting point is 01:00:37 and in the Stanley Cup like there's a reason the Blues made it to the Stanley Cup final for like three or four straight years and there's a reason they lost it every time
Starting point is 01:00:46 well apparently they won the bad conference apparently the six teams that the original six teams stayed in their conference and all the new teams were in another conference. Yeah, to give them a fighting chance.
Starting point is 01:00:58 That's crazy. That's crazy. The NHL was a wild time. It was. It was a city place. Never mind the goaltenders who are wearing normal clothes and standing up the entire time. And the pads were like feathers and they get wet
Starting point is 01:01:12 and the equipment gets heavy. It doesn't happen anymore. So let's talk about the Eastern Conference, okay? We've got Tampa Bay, no surprise, 107 points that's my team that's who I would pick I think it is interesting
Starting point is 01:01:25 that the way that the the NHL game broke it down there is a seven eight point gap
Starting point is 01:01:34 between number two in the conference and the last wild card spot wow okay nah
Starting point is 01:01:41 oh a gap between number two number two is 99 last wild card spot 91 so that's not a huge gap when you consider what happened
Starting point is 01:01:49 in the Western Conference. There are seven teams, seven teams in the 90s points. Wow. Points of 90s. There's a better way to say it, but I don't know. I've been up since 4.30.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Give me a break. Montreal Canadiens at number two with 99 points. Okay, so we've got Tampa at 107. Wow! Montreal with 99. Carey Price, man. There you go.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Carey Price. Andrew Berkshire did say it. If you take injuries into account, what team has improved the most from last year? Or what was the biggest improvement made to any one team and he goes Scrivens Condon
Starting point is 01:02:23 to Price Montoya you can ignore Montoya yeah just Price Washington Cavaliers no surprise in third at 97 points
Starting point is 01:02:33 Pittsburgh Penguins 93 points doesn't mean they're not a great team hey they weren't even in a playoff spot at Christmas and they won the cup
Starting point is 01:02:41 so and again not surprised as well there's a three way tie for at 93 points so have we had a wild card team yet?
Starting point is 01:02:47 We have not had a wildcard team yet. So the wildcards actually in the Eastern Conference, the way it shakes out, according to the NHL 17, is that the last two teams actually in the conference end up with the wildcard spots. Because the Eastern Conference is far more level, shall we say, than the West. I don't know about that.
Starting point is 01:03:03 Anyway. Anyway. So Florida Panthers with 93 points and the Philadelphia Flyers at 93 points. Those are the two wildcards. No. No, they're not. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:11 So Tampa's number one, Montreal's number two, Washington number three, Pittsburgh number four, Florida and Philly at five and six and then our wildcard teams the New York Islanders with 92 points which doesn't surprise me New York Islanders should be in the playoffs I think they should be they're in roughly the same boat as Minnesota I think and the Toronto Maple Leafs that's crazy I think that's crazy I love it I love that crazy but I think it's crazy now here's I love that crazy i saw this i did see this today and here first of all i went yay that's amazing then i went well roman polak's an 85 but the overall rating system really good guys the overall
Starting point is 01:03:58 rating is really good it doesn't count it doesn't count the overall rating does not count for much i i got scolded your individual skills that count in yeah the overall rating means nothing Squidly squat Which makes me go Well then why do you have it Because you need An overall rating Steve But if it means nothing
Starting point is 01:04:16 Oh I Listen Listen Listen Critty Sizeman over there Okay Critty Sizeman Critty Sizeman
Starting point is 01:04:22 That's not bad Where's that been That's awesome I think When you're looking The way the NHL does it The NHL thing does it Is great
Starting point is 01:04:31 Because if you're looking For more speed Then you've got to find A guy with great speed Yes And yes you have to have An overall rating But it's really about
Starting point is 01:04:38 the tools the player brings. I'm just saying I miss a simpler time where if you wanted a player with a hard shot, he had a stick underneath him. And if you wanted a player who hit hard, he had a hammer underneath him. That's why I always got Christian LaFlem. Because he used to just rail people. It was amazing. I always did my fantasy
Starting point is 01:04:54 draft. I always drafted Patrick Shelberg, who was a 73 overall, but he had a stick. I would put him on my top line left wing and enjoy a 70 goal season. Peter Forsberg, Through the slot, Patrick Schalberg, goal.
Starting point is 01:05:10 You've said this before, Toronto Maple Leafs, chances of making the playoffs, you give them about a 25% chance. Yeah, which means I wouldn't be shocked. But you'd be surprised. Pleasantly. Shocked is a team with 10% chance. Yes. Surprised, I'd be surprised. I would.
Starting point is 01:05:32 I would really genuinely be surprised. I would have been shocked if the Buffalo Sabres made the playoffs two years ago. Yeah. New York Rangers This is a surprise Now wait though Sorry What I was trying to get to there
Starting point is 01:05:42 With Polak being in 85 Is Like Not only is Lupul In the lineup He's also decent He's Joffrey Lupul
Starting point is 01:05:52 From two years ago Shouldn't even be on the team No And the one thing The Leafs Make the Be a GM mode Or the franchise mode
Starting point is 01:06:01 Whatever the hell it's called In NHL 17 A little Less authentic Like the Leafs in real life I mean like in the preseason because I'm a defenseman
Starting point is 01:06:11 for a lot of the games my defense partner was Stefan Robita that's not going to happen I'm sure he loved that by the way oh I thought it was funny oh man
Starting point is 01:06:21 Matt Hunwick is going to win the Norris with me as his partner I draw the attention over to him blast do you get drafted
Starting point is 01:06:28 or do you just go straight to creating a playing NHL I go straight to the Leafs I will never do the drafted ever again why I got drafted to Florida now did you play
Starting point is 01:06:37 a season in juniors first and then you draft it? I was like, I'm going to do this the right way. Won the Memorial Cup with the Oshawa General or was it the
Starting point is 01:06:46 Mississauga Steelheads at the time? I don't remember. And then you get drafted to Florida. I got friggin' bit. And the Panthers were bad and they continually
Starting point is 01:06:55 made themselves worse. And Scott Clemonson is their starter. Yakim Markstrom is the backup. And then the next year, Markstrom was the starter and a month in,
Starting point is 01:07:05 they promptly traded him for Cal Clutterbuck. Straight up. That's something the Sim also doesn't take into consideration. The trades. Yeah. Like, did we trade Roby down for Crosby? Maybe.
Starting point is 01:07:15 Maybe. It's a video game. Maybe. Or injuries. Maybe injuries is what sunk people in the trade. And I've said this. Okay. That's real world, though, man.
Starting point is 01:07:25 Sometimes there are injuries in the NHL. If the Leafs on paper are not as good as other teams. Yeah. If the Leafs on paper are not as good as other teams, the season wears on everybody. the injury bug is undefeated season wears on everybody does the leafs depth work to their advantage does it give them two extra points in the standings maybe three maybe four how does that work can i can i just for a second it's it's possible can i stop you for a second i i just
Starting point is 01:07:54 had this this visual of the injury bug being rambo and putting on like a bulletproof vest and be like Undefeated Ready Just standing on top Of a sea of Dead 2011 Canucks defensemen And Mason Raymond's back
Starting point is 01:08:09 Yes Yes Oh that poor team So yeah So the New York Rangers They're predicting Again Don't take this too
Starting point is 01:08:16 Too seriously To be out of the playoffs With 89 points That's not shocking See it is to me Because I think Henrik Lundqvist Has one more year
Starting point is 01:08:24 Of being Henrik Yeah They're I think the Islanders Wild and Rangers are all kind of in this category of 50-50. Partly
Starting point is 01:08:36 because of the strength of the division they're in, and partly because they're kind of eh. All three have goalies who could steal it for them. And goalies who are mortal. Detroit Red Wings, 87 points
Starting point is 01:08:52 for number 10. Number 11, the Ottawa Senators, also with 87 points, only finishing three points out of a playoff spot. the Buffalo Sabres I believe it is that number 11 no number
Starting point is 01:09:03 12 12 or 13 whatever it doesn't matter 87 points Buffalo Sabres after them with 85 points Boston Bruins
Starting point is 01:09:11 didn't you just say Buffalo twice they said Ottawa okay so sorry Ottawa 87 Buffalo 85 Boston Bruins 84
Starting point is 01:09:18 wow and here's the one the one that I I still I still think is they may not make the playoffs but don't sleep on the New Jersey Devils
Starting point is 01:09:26 81 81 points they say No way So are they last in the East? No, there's two more Carolina, 79 points Columbus, 76 John Tortorella's
Starting point is 01:09:41 Second Team America So what this simulation is saying Is every Every inter-conference game Is going to go to the East The West, like how many 70 and down teams does the West have? Despite having two fewer teams than the East.
Starting point is 01:10:03 And you had to go way the far down in the East. Plus you got the Canucks who apparently won't win a game. Only because everybody's far more even. Because you gotta remember, a lot of the points that are in the Western Conference are sitting at the top. They're sitting in the top six teams. Well, that's what I'm saying. Oh, I get what you're saying. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the cream will rise to the top in the West, but also, I think the East is gonna win all the games based on that
Starting point is 01:10:26 based on that I'm just saying interesting anyway interesting fun to go through who the hell knows but it'll be fun
Starting point is 01:10:33 to look back at this and you know what maybe New Jersey is terrible and I'm crazy but I don't think New Jersey's terrible there's a lot of
Starting point is 01:10:40 bubble teams bubble teams New Jersey Minnesota the Islanders the Rangers the Flyers I'll even throw in there
Starting point is 01:10:50 it's interesting a full year of Goss Dispair. Ghost Bear. We have What's Up in Liberty Village coming up. But first. Also, someone please tweet us on the last day of the season and we can review this. Yeah, let's do that.
Starting point is 01:11:05 Please tweet us. I'd love to look at that. Because we won't remember. No, we won't. Jesse, we asked last episode how people found the Steve Dangle podcast. Oh, I'm excited. What blew me away about this was the tweets that I got. I didn't look too hard at the Reddit page because I didn't want to be...
Starting point is 01:11:22 I wanted to be surprised. Yeah. But what blew me away was how many people found us through Tumblr and how many people have found us recently. No one will take my damn advice. Get on Tumblr, man. Yeah, it's true. Get on Tumblr. It's amazing to me how recent many people of this show are and how many inside jokes people straight up aren't getting.
Starting point is 01:11:41 And I feel bad. Yeah. Well, I'm sorry, by the way. I'm sorry. I just assume everyone, once you start listening, someone hands you a kit and you just get it all. We should have a kit. They hand you a pamphlet. Okay, that's my next question for next episode
Starting point is 01:11:54 What would be in the Steve Dangle podcast kit Chapter 1, Steve's pee-pee A lot of people don't understand what you're talking about The good old days And Adam's Melons, that was the thing The dawn of a Blake era Or a Jesse era Jurassic Blake
Starting point is 01:12:13 The Blakening The Blakening, yes I don't know Alright, so how do people find this show? Oh, sorry, one thing Or not No, no, no, no, no, no. Did I talk about when someone was talking about
Starting point is 01:12:27 there's going to be a huge, terrible Canucks trade and it's going to be called the Hap-Benning? Ah, that's pretty good. Way better than the Blakening. The Jesse-ing. The Jessening. We'll work on it. All right.
Starting point is 01:12:42 The Shitman-ing. BJ. Before Jesse. Wow. And then AJ. Steve's PP BJ. That will be the name of the chapter. He's gone.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Do you want to move on to the first story? Steve Dangle podcast's original hashtag before Jesse. It's straightforward. It's a simple question, doctor. That's the true story. The hashtag was Steve's pee pee. I'm going to tell a story here. We had a meeting.
Starting point is 01:13:14 We were asked by a professional company if we could change the official hashtag of our thing So they could work with us They're like We're just really uncomfortable With Steve's pee pee And we all just kind of went Right that's fair enough
Starting point is 01:13:28 That's fair enough Imagine There's somebody Who's gone to university Worked their entire Their entire life And then they have to tell Some idiot on the phone
Starting point is 01:13:37 Do you mind changing The hashtag of your podcast You fucking idiot Can we Can I throw something out there That hashtag Your fault Also my fault
Starting point is 01:13:48 That was 100% you You were just like By the way the hashtag is Steve's peepee. And I remember sitting here like, all right, I guess it is. There was a reason why. I think it was we were,
Starting point is 01:13:55 you were, it was about a stripper story that you told. No, I'm pretty sure you came up with the hashtag before that story. Wow, okay, well. And you were just like,
Starting point is 01:14:03 that's what it is. How we don't like strip clubs and how they make us uncomfortable, which they do. Yeah, that was episode two, by the way. Yeah, anyway. We've changed it since then.
Starting point is 01:14:13 This is actually from the Reddit. My favorite memory from the early days was when they told their first Steve's peepee in Adam's Melons t-shirt. Or when they sold their first Right, we sold shirts with that on it
Starting point is 01:14:24 I still have one Yeah, I've probably got one somewhere too I ordered one and a few weeks later They were doing shoutouts on the podcast For people who bought a shirt Hearing Ryan from Moncton Mentioned on the show and knowing it meant Me brought me so much joy
Starting point is 01:14:41 Hey Ryan, this is your second shoutout buddy Shoutout Ryan from Moncton You're fucking spoiled Ryan We are spoiling you That's so funny. What else we got? I like this one. This one's from Fox's For Sale on the Reddit.
Starting point is 01:14:55 Australian, recent listener here. Started about three weeks ago. Wow. Only was introduced to hockey in March, watched the playoffs, then started to watch the AIHL. Sasky said there was an entertaining stories about the AIHL in the SDB episode she was guested in. So I subscribed to find that episode. Good luck.
Starting point is 01:15:17 It was a while ago. I really loved it. So I figured I'd listen to the Ben Scrivens interview And then just kept listening from there Amazing Well, if you can organize by the amount of listens Sasky's still number one That's amazing
Starting point is 01:15:27 I think our only On SoundCloud anyway 30 plus thousand listen episode Huh That's just SoundCloud Yeah That's crazy The Friedman one
Starting point is 01:15:37 The Elliot one I think we'll pass it in like a couple weeks Oh, does that keep going up? Yeah, they're still at like 28, 29 I think anything The PK one is around 28 Yeah, PK one too I remember listening to that in a train in London.
Starting point is 01:15:49 Yes. It was great. Fantastic. This one was from YouTube. Rebecca said, my first introduction to Steve was through his Game 5 bat flip video a little under a year ago. What?
Starting point is 01:16:00 A baseball video? How disappointed you must have been. She's a more baseball fan than a hockey fan, but she thought it was funny, checked out more of his videos on YouTube, and heard about the podcast from the end of the LFR. Get out of here. That's pretty neat.
Starting point is 01:16:13 That is cool. Thank you. Was it Rachel? Rebecca. Rebecca. not the same thank you Rebecca
Starting point is 01:16:19 Rachel Nate this is a Tumblr find I saw a gif set about Steve on Tumblr he was talking
Starting point is 01:16:27 about how no one can just move Chara and then I searched that video on YouTube and then started
Starting point is 01:16:33 watching almost all of his videos from then and then a few months later I found out he had a podcast so I started
Starting point is 01:16:38 listening to this that's crazy that is funny you know I'll tell you a pivotal moment in our show's early early
Starting point is 01:16:45 development was when we talked about the Penguins in the playoffs. That was episode two. Episode two. And Steve posted something about it on his Tumblr. Yeah, and I just put the hashtag or whatever it is on Tumblr. I just put it on the Pittsburgh Penguins Tumblr. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:05 So if you search anything about the Pittsburgh Penguins, it comes up. We were flooded with Penguins fans. And that's why I'm convinced a lot of the people that listen. We do have a lot of Penguins fans that listen. I'm convinced that had to be part of it Because, you know, someone listens, they tell their friend I think that's cool Some fanbases listen more than others
Starting point is 01:17:23 I mean, Leafs, obviously We have some Canucks fans The Canadian teams, well, I think it's the teams We talk about the most And which teams do we talk about? The teams that are really good? No And the teams that are really bad No, no, so like my videos
Starting point is 01:17:38 Grew big in Boston They have a decent Boston following They have a decent Penguins following I think there's a decent Chicago following And LA LA Dude, I got Backstage passes to Jimmy Kimmel

Starting point is 01:21:29 where she got it from because he starts slow too and then it's a slow build and he has this weird staccato thing where his head moves really fast by the end of it and he's drooling
Starting point is 01:21:36 all over the place. The most overacted show on television is terrible and yet I see the appeal. Well, most shows are terrible. So anyway,
Starting point is 01:21:47 thanks to the guy who got me tickets to the Jimmy Kimmel. Appreciate that. So Hamdy, Hamdy wrote, I started listening to the podcast
Starting point is 01:21:55 a few weeks ago. I found Steve through that Gatorade video that had Crosby and the other athletes in it. I searched YouTube and found the podcast. That's crazy.

Starting point is 01:22:24 Boy, maybe that's Kobe's online name. Let's not rule out Kobe Bryant I agree He accidentally subscribed to this channel Which is our YouTube channel So that's why He figured it out
Starting point is 01:22:39 It was really good I would never accidentally subscribe to something And then be like let's give it a chance I would unsubscribe That's great Thank you Mr. Bryant Thank you Kobe Yura Kale

And they said hey isn't that funny And so that a bunch of people A bunch of Japanese people Started to make videos of their own With that song and like do weird stuff
Starting point is 01:27:17 During that song And they went viral as well And then it made it's way over here To where we didn't do our research And told the story improperly The guy is just a funny dude Remember a while back when I tried to be Like a hacky

Starting point is 01:29:23 You just talk nonsense That's all it is, that's all you need Prank videos Watch me prank this person by going up to them and punching them in the face. Yeah. Prank. Prank.
Starting point is 01:29:37 Which, by the way, current prank videos... All fake, guys. Well, yeah, first of all, they're all fake. Second of all, if they were real, they're all a Chappelle Show sketch from 2003 called Zapped, where he was talking about punked.
Starting point is 01:29:53 Or no, no, no, it's the... Oh, yeah, you've been zapped! And they, like, pretend like your kid's dead or something like that. but also there was a Christopher Walken SNL sketch that was very similar
Starting point is 01:30:04 where he's just like oh yeah I cut your brakes what a funny prank my favorite was when those guys pranked their friend and they kidnapped him
Starting point is 01:30:16 and made him seem like he was gonna die and they held a fake gun to his head and the guy's like crying and then people lost their minds and they had to come out
Starting point is 01:30:24 and actually say sorry guys all of our videos are fake well duh and like why do people But we already made the money and collected the revenue
Starting point is 01:30:32 and it's really hard to give it back. It would be super easy to like donate it but we're not gonna do that on account of why would we? We got a production cost.
Starting point is 01:30:46 And on account of my bank account is way fatter than it was before this video came out. So we're sorry but we're keeping the money. Prank! Hey,
Starting point is 01:30:55 do we have any more stories or live bitch? What are we doing? We can do live bitch. Alright, What's up in Lividge? So the best thing on the Lividge page today is the post from NARCity.
Starting point is 01:31:05 Oh! Which is... NARCity, by the way, is a listicle's website. Worst website ever. I was thinking about starting a feature on this show which was listicle of the day. And as in like 10 things about blank
Starting point is 01:31:18 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. Okay. That's how they make their money. And you know what? all the power to them because they're probably making money
Starting point is 01:31:30 what is this who would read this bullshit second article on Narcity's homepage nine Toronto girls you've definitely matched with on tinder okay can I just let him freak out about that for just a second one
Starting point is 01:31:46 thing I saw was this summer from that same website was 10 things only Toronto girls do and it was like go to the store walk down the street
Starting point is 01:32:01 get food out of the club with one of them get in a cab and cancel your Uber because you just can't wait just that kind of crap and you're like everybody

Starting point is 01:32:53 They love going to the islands The girl who wants you to go to Centerville. Yeah. No, no, no. You shouldn't go to Centerville. That's where the unwashed masses go. You go to Ward's Beach. By the way, Ward's Beach is the place to go.
Starting point is 01:33:05 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
Starting point is 01:33:28 On earth By the way How niche is that bullshit Literally It's because Buzz It's like Simpsons did it Buzzfeed did it
Starting point is 01:33:38 They like Buzzfeed has to get Look at Look at Buzzfeed lists now Compared to what they used to be They have to get so Specific With the
Starting point is 01:33:46 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 all the rich, crazy people who have like trillions of dollars and they live in the shadows and all conspiracy theorists think they exist and 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.
Starting point is 01:34:09 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. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:34:18 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 vial on it. Do you have that you're married on there to Mrs. Dangle? You bet I do.
Starting point is 01:34:39 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.
Starting point is 01:34:54 I've never gotten an Ashley Madison ad. The second. Wow. The second I changed my status to married, Ashley Madison. Interesting. The second, which is incredibly fucked up. Anyway. Well, there's no, we've already apparently proven that there's no women on that site
Starting point is 01:35:09 anyway. Oh, yeah. So sad. So sad. Pretty sad. Um, so I put that I was managing editor of theleastnation.com. So now I get all the, oh, and I've sold shirts on Teespring. And so Facebook was like, I'm going to use this information to every day.
Starting point is 01:35:27 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. Badass. I'm a producer and a badass. Yeah, the customized shirts. Oh, my God. Yes, and it mocks it up for you.
Starting point is 01:35:50 I've seen that. You know who saw that listicle that Jesse just mentioned? Everyone who works at a Jack Astor's. Everyone. And I bet they went through it, too. Or if they say server anywhere, you saw that listicle. It's incredibly niche and creepy. Creepy.
Starting point is 01:36:08 That's too creepy. Number 19. after you bring them 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 honey
Starting point is 01:36:24 your co-workers are actually pretty awesome okay okay you know what I'm not into people losing their jobs but I think 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
Starting point is 01:36:49 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 yep oh yeah the author's name is printed there is it no let's not 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 the right articles that way um okay so this is a caprice who worked at jack asters when you were a server at jack asters and people asked you uh and you delivered a side
Starting point is 01:37:36 of mayo would you then would they then ask for a side of ranch asking this is a serious question so she worked at jack asters yeah i wonder if this has come across her timeline did she put it on her facebook right she put on her wall hey honey look at this awesome list oh all the dog shit. All the... 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
Starting point is 01:38:03 information. Like, I have a dog, but apparently it is. What else do we need? 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.
Starting point is 01:38:20 It turns out your co-workers are pretty awesome. I just imagine a bunch of people at Jack Astor's on their phone looking this going, yeah, you are awesome. And then just patting each other on the butt and putting each other like, and then going back to work. Like what? 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.
Starting point is 01:38:37 If you work at X. If you work at a podcast. Yeah. Your coworkers are pretty awesome. I get pissed off when Adam brings me mayo and not ranch. Happens all the fucking time. Caprice I'm gonna post the answer
Starting point is 01:38:52 she's gonna like what a dumb question to ask my fiance I'm at work Adam oh fuck oh when did we get here when did we get here
Starting point is 01:39:04 as a society or yeah oh 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
Starting point is 01:39:12 I think people have always written stupid shit like that the difference is no one read it yeah because there's no way to print it mass there's no mass production of it
Starting point is 01:39:19 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.
Starting point is 01:39:37 So Jack Astor's paid for that. Yeah, Jack Astor's paid for this post. Because that's how BuzzFeed. The title, 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.
Starting point is 01:39:53 You could put Canadian Army there. The best part about working at Jack Astor's is supporting the Canadian Army. Even at Vyosh. The best part of working at Jack Astor's is when you serve a table of 20 Canadian Armed Forces. 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
Starting point is 01:40:16 16 reasons why Liberty Village is the absolute best place to live in Toronto now as the king of Liberty Village Jesse
Starting point is 01:40:23 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
Starting point is 01:40:30 yeah we should go through the list number one it's full of young people is that a good thing I well sure I'll allow it
Starting point is 01:40:39 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 it's
Starting point is 01:40:50 I get where they're going With that I'll allow it Two It's also full of Super cute dogs That's true That is true
Starting point is 01:40:57 Yeah I'll allow it I think you guys are The young people Per capita And the dogs per capita Oh High in Libvidge
Starting point is 01:41:05 I bet there's Almost as many dogs As there are people In Liberty Village I'm uh I'm Almost as many French bulldogs
Starting point is 01:41:13 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.
Starting point is 01:41:27 So is Yonge and Dundas. Some might say it's a little too far west, but we disagree. It's conveniently located just south of... Some say, but we don't think so. That sentence was... That sentence was literally... It's close to everything. It's not, but it is.
Starting point is 01:41:46 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 out. When did this happen? When did it happen?
Starting point is 01:41:56 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. No.
Starting point is 01:42:09 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. There's one street in an hour. The slogan of Toronto should be, do you live on the subway line? Nope, we'll get fucked.
Starting point is 01:42:21 Yeah, literally. Nope, we don't care about you. Prices along the subway line are like a hundred grand higher. I'm surprised it's only that. Like, it's nuts. 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.
Starting point is 01:42:40 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?
Starting point is 01:42:53 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
Starting point is 01:42:59 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
Starting point is 01:43:10 Oh And I'm telling you this That's a very Toronto thing to eat this day. I know. That's very Toronto. I get that. You should have told me that in a hookah bar. You know what we're going to do?
Starting point is 01:43:17 Oh, my God. Because it used to be just the opera house there. There's actually some really great stuff. We're going to go there sometime, and you're going to have an amazing time, and you're going to need some delicious food, and you're going to be like, you know what? Great. That'll be the fourth time. Adam's right.
Starting point is 01:43:28 Some say Leslieville's too far east, but I disagree. Is that number five? But I provided proof, goddammit. 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.
Starting point is 01:43:45 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.
Starting point is 01:44:10 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 I tell you what I'm in Oshawa and I live close to the GM Center
Starting point is 01:44:29 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 what the hell is his name oh Jeff Dunham
Starting point is 01:44:42 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
Starting point is 01:44:51 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
Starting point is 01:44:59 well we have three valid points so far unless you're right next to the Go Trains the Go Train tracks which are we're back at two like five
Starting point is 01:45:07 crumple crumple throw All of 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 them have. You know, on the list of things that I care about, hidden murals is near the bottom.
Starting point is 01:45:26 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?
Starting point is 01:45:46 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.
Starting point is 01:46:07 How many bike shops? Oh, keep going. There are plenty of patios to soak in the sunshine. That is the entirety of Toronto? Toronto is... That is Canada. Canada loves patios because it's cold here a lot. And then when it's not, we celebrate.
Starting point is 01:46:21 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.
Starting point is 01:46:40 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. There are no tourists.
Starting point is 01:46:56 It's because there's nothing to fucking do. The only thing to do in Liberty Village is... Because that's where people live. Yeah, it's to live. That's the problem with Toronto, too, is that when you come here, people ask, what should I do? Well unless you want to
Starting point is 01:47:10 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
Starting point is 01:47:17 Tickets to the game We have a beach You come to Toronto So does everyone So does every restaurant That you eat Right Yeah
Starting point is 01:47:23 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 fatten you up Real quick
Starting point is 01:47:28 Real easy Take it from me Thirteen There's an adorable Farmer's market On the weekend That's the most Toronto thing
Starting point is 01:47:35 I've ever heard Okay, move to Curtis, Ontario. That's a necessity. Farmer's market on the weekend has to happen. Or people don't eat. Want to check out some farmer's markets? Move near a farm. Hey, listen, man.
Starting point is 01:47:50 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?
Starting point is 01:48:11 I've walked past it. I've never purchased anything. All right, so we have two good reasons. What else? Three more. King of Lividge, Jesse Blake. Let's see if we get up to five. The Duke of Lividge.
Starting point is 01:48:21 Tons of parking in Liberty Village. 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.
Starting point is 01:48:38 There used to be. Used to be. I parked there the other day. It was 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.
Starting point is 01:48:52 Yeah, Marley's Hockey Night in Cinema. Marley's don't count. Well, because we go to Jesse's house and play NHL. Oh. 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.
Starting point is 01:49:03 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 specific 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
Starting point is 01:49:20 Two things later it's close to this shit as well Some people would say It's got good access to King Street 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
Starting point is 01:49:37 20 minutes ago, but I feel like we need to keep going. Guess what? 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! Alright, why is it great to live in liberty? Let's get up to three! You literally never
Starting point is 01:49:53 need to leave if you don't want to. That's a horrible reason to move somewhere. No, it's good. Okay, but 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.
Starting point is 01:50:20 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. That is just so That is such a A ridiculous statement to make
Starting point is 01:50:40 There's not even a word beyond I wish there was a word above ridiculous Redonkulous Even that's been overused I want a word that is above that Preposterous There you go There's no reason to leave unless you have to
Starting point is 01:50:55 Like 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 Here's the thing, we fucking have to
Starting point is 01:51:10 Because we got other shit to do In North York, there's no bathrooms People just pee and poop on the sidewalk Or in their own apartment Because they have to leave Jesse's laughing so hard he's crying right now It stops It stops crying
Starting point is 01:51:25 There's nowhere to eat in Scarborough Or North York 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
Starting point is 01:51:37 Would they then ask you for a side of ranch? This is a serious question Her response is Huh? Question mark Oh, sorry In wrong inflection Huh?
Starting point is 01:51:48 Huh? Yeah, as if to say I'm at work Which is not Jack Astor's, by the way Leave me alone Ugh Anyways that's what's up In Levege
Starting point is 01:51:58 You know how many Confused people there are Because they don't have A jackass or Is that a Canadian thing Yeah I think so Yeah
Starting point is 01:52:06 That's like the Naughtiest thing about Canada By the way We have We have a restaurant That's It sounds like Jackass
Starting point is 01:52:15 She's gonna kill me Because she is at work The sign blinks So that it looks like It just says jackass You're right She is at work And I am bothering her
Starting point is 01:52:22 Over text message To find out whether Ranch and mayo are mutually exclusive or inclusive. Now, should we get into the press conference? The Presser S.D.P. The Steve Dangle Press Conference. Oh my God, sure.
Starting point is 01:52:38 How long is this episode? It's long. Let's keep the questions shorter. We also got that thing behind you. We got three questions. First, we got to help Lauren out with her project. Okay. So, this question is a little irrelevant,
Starting point is 01:52:49 but I need help with the project. I'm doing a project for school about digital initiatives, And I'm doing podcasts as part of it I'm doing podcasts as part of it And I was wondering if there was any way You guys could explain how the podcast Came to be so I can use it as a Soundbite for my presentation
Starting point is 01:53:04 We can do that right now I'll count down and you guys are going to explain how the podcast came to be And Lauren is going to clip it And insert it into her presentation In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 If you can believe it The podcast Was initially thought of
Starting point is 01:53:21 In a bar without Steve present I was talking to our original producer Chris and I said we were talking about radio and we thought it was crazy that Steve wasn't on the radio we thought how come
Starting point is 01:53:35 honestly it's what I thought obviously I'm biased I'm his friend and I said to Chris would you do a podcast with me and Steve and I'll host and we were talking about how Steve had tried the podcast thing before, but Steve always had to
Starting point is 01:53:52 host it, and that's not what Steve should be doing. I'm not a great host. No. That's what I discovered. No, no, that's not it at all. It's just that you don't need to host. You need to be the guy that talks about the depth of knowledge in the show. And I said, I can host, you can produce, and there we go. Voila. Power trio.
Starting point is 01:54:08 Easy. And that's and then so we went to, we met at a Jack Astor's. Believe it or not. On Front Street, and we said alright, and Steve and Chris barely knew each other at this point, and And we said, okay, so are we going to do this? How are we going to do this?
Starting point is 01:54:24 And we started at two episodes a week because it was the end of the playoffs. The Leafs had been eliminated, I think, a week and a half before. And we were right into the conference finals, I think, at that point. Yeah, the big one we were talking about was Boston was running Pittsburgh's show in the third round. Yes, and that's how it all started. So it was basically just that. And then for some reason that first night, we got over 1,000 listens, and we didn't expect that. Yeah, so just do it.
Starting point is 01:54:53 Just do it to at least get the experience. Now, the one leg up that we had was a built-in listenership because of the videos. But, I mean, if the podcast sucked, no one was going to listen. And I think part of the reason more people listen now is we're getting better. So the reason we got better is because we've been doing it for a while. And the only way to do it for a while is to do it at all. So, just do it. As a side, it's made me a far better host in everything else that I do.
Starting point is 01:55:20 Yes, and also it's made Adam a better host. So, there you go. That's how it started. Does that make sense? Does that anything sound? Yeah. You're welcome, Lauren. We hope you get an A.
Starting point is 01:55:29 We didn't even have an intro in the first, I think, 10, 20 episodes. Like, it was a while before we kind of got to that. And then... And some production. Yeah, which was fine. Producer Chris did his goddamn job. If you've been listening for a while, you know what that means. Caprice, by the way, has gotten back to me about the, she said, I said, it's, I know
Starting point is 01:55:49 this is stupid, but from your recollection, do mayo and ranch normally go together in an order? And she said, no, not that I've ever seen while serving. And I've served in many restaurants, including Jack Astor's. Okay. All right. So you're wrong, Narcity. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:56:03 You're wrong. Do you mean to tell me they were stretching for bullshit? they had to come up with 41 reasons and they weren't all legitimate who read the whole thing I did
Starting point is 01:56:15 that article is at least 41 lines long that's too many lines you know that's too many lines you know you know
Starting point is 01:56:23 it's too many lines in that headline opening the the the Microsoft Word so document one more question
Starting point is 01:56:31 and then we gotta get to the present yes we got a very cool present so I'm excited astromaster13 writes if a zombie outbreak
Starting point is 01:56:41 starts in Vegas does it stay in Vegas that's the funniest question we've had since who's your hottest first degree relative it's the best question
Starting point is 01:57:04 since synchronized swimming if one of them died? What was the secret? Do they all have to die? Do they all have to die? Jesse's crying. That is a great question.
Starting point is 01:57:13 Now, I think it would stay in Vegas on account. I remember being in Vegas and just looking off into the distance and just going, okay, how far out would I have to walk before I'd be totally fucked? It wouldn't be that far. It's a desert.
Starting point is 01:57:27 It's 100 degrees Fahrenheit at midnight. Put it this way. We'd want it to happen there of any of the North American cities. Or like somewhere Super duper far north Because then they would all just freeze Or Buffalo
Starting point is 01:57:39 Or Buffalo because Because they deserve it If it happened in Buffalo it would take us like A good year before anybody noticed Or care sorry I'm just kidding Everyone from Buffalo Fuck you The car commercials would sure stay the same
Starting point is 01:57:55 How would they cross the border Checkmate humans Fuck you zombies how would they cross the border they don't have passports checkmate alright so we gotta talk about
Starting point is 01:58:08 something that arrived in the mail that we were not expecting usually I get the heads up from people I don't know why this arrived but it did
Starting point is 01:58:15 and what is funny I was looking at it they said you know Adam Wild do you have a package they sent me an email got it I hand out your address
Starting point is 01:58:24 by the way to a few people on DMs oh do you well it's not my it's technically our work address yeah but I give them your name and our work address so I was like
Starting point is 01:58:31 I'm looking at the I'm looking at the package on this and I'm like, what kind of this is a name. There are names and this one is a name. Now, I want you to, Steve, there's a postcard included in this package. What does that look like to you? What's that postcard
Starting point is 01:58:45 look like to you? It looks like Nevada or something. Yeah, mountains. It's a mountainous range. Oh, is this potentially Europe? Potentially. Okay. And I look at the name and I'm definitely going to get this name wrong so i apologize it is not out of disrespect your writing is is is quite beautiful
Starting point is 01:59:04 but it's also quite small so it's hard to read tunish naya amar saya oh this is from yeah i gave her your address oh man it's from like crazy far east damn it oh what's it called you ready yes read it mongolia mongolia we have a listener in mongolia coolest thing ever who is a pens fan Because, yeah. She said, to Steve, Adam, and Jesse, thanks for making my transition to becoming a hockey fan much more entertaining and fun. I'd already chosen the Pens as my team because black and gold, awesome penguins, blah, blah, blah. Because, yeah, so black and gold and Malkin's Great Escape Story. I think it's Malkin's Great Escape Story.
Starting point is 01:59:53 Yeah, so he defected from Russia, by the way, less than a decade ago. Yes. Which is hilarious that you still have to defect from Russia But over the past two years I have slowly started to adopt The Leafs as my second team Because you guys are Doing such an amazing job at being fans
Starting point is 02:00:12 You know what, it is hard work to be a fan of this team First of all, congratulations Second of all, we're sorry So, go Leafs, thanks for Kessel We'll keep them So then When I opened up the package we've got a couple
Starting point is 02:00:29 traditional Mongolian games in here which is cool now I'm going to get to the there's another part to this so bear with me on this there's a reason we bring this up now these are for Jesse and I and she actually, one of them is the divination of ankle
Starting point is 02:00:44 so it's basically, this is a way to tell your future it's a traditional Mongolian thing so I can't pronounce this so the matersawa I don't know. Anyway, I can't do that one. We forgive you.
Starting point is 02:00:59 There's that. Kuala Lumpur, France. Anyway, there's some amazing games, but one thing, the reason that this was sent is really important because what do we always make fun of Steve for? Being dumb.
Starting point is 02:01:15 What do we always make fun of Steve for? Recently. Forget things. I get free shit. When you don't get free shit, what do you do? Pay for things. What do you pay for?
Starting point is 02:01:25 I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, toys. Specifically? Hockey figures. Dolls. Dolls. They're not...
Starting point is 02:01:32 Dolls are figures! Oh, awesome! Oh, awesome! Oh, look at that! Now, go through, because... God, did she make this? Now, hey, now. Where the hell did she get this?
Starting point is 02:01:46 Okay, so... What are these called? Matryoshka? Matryoshka, yeah. So, the Matryoshka. Now I want you to open this up I want you to open this up Because this
Starting point is 02:01:59 The second part of the letter Actually plays into this It's a Matryoshka doll So those are the dolls By the way If you're not watching They pop open And reveal another doll
Starting point is 02:02:07 Oh that's so cool So it goes from Kadri to a smaller To Parenteau To smaller Parenteau Who's inside Parenteau Gross Who's
Starting point is 02:02:17 Leo Komarov Uncle Leo Uncle Leo Oh that's so Keep going It's fucking cool! Lil' Tylee Boseman! And it sounds like,
Starting point is 02:02:32 chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka, there's something else in here! Oh my goodness. Oh, oh. I gotta, I'm so flustered. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about it. I'm so excited.
Starting point is 02:02:40 I'm so flustered. I'm being very dainty with it. I don't want to break it, Adam. I have stupid, clumsy fingers. Oh, and we got a really little one inside. It's a wee little Rhymer It's a little James
Starting point is 02:02:58 And it didn't even cost me 60 bucks You're the best Best gift ever Best Christmas ever Okay so what is it how do you pronounce it again Oh and there's a little message in there See this is a Rhymer that you can keep
Starting point is 02:03:14 Oh And she says Because he's not She said, so the Matryoshka with Reimer is obviously for Steve, for your continued pain, and Reimer was, I'm sorry, so your continued pain over Reimer was just too touching. Over Reimer. Reimer.
Starting point is 02:03:41 Reimer. But I haven't left Adam and Jesse out of the free stuff. There are two traditional toys from Mongolia in there. to go along with Steve's new doll. No semantics here. No semantics here. This is a doll. She says this.
Starting point is 02:03:57 No semantics here. One is a puzzle, and the other is a betting, I think is what it's... Oh, is a betting slash predictive game kind of like a Magic 8-Ball. Hope it reaches you guys in time for the start of the season.
Starting point is 02:04:11 Well, it did. Maybe see how accurate it is. I want to bet, I bet that it's more accurate than I am. That's for sure. So that is officially the craziest place we have ever received mail from. And by the way, I don't think there are many outlets, media outlets or entertainment outlets that receive mail at all anymore. I am astounded by the amount of mail.
Starting point is 02:04:36 I love it. That we've reached, that we've received. I love it. Astounded. You know, we heard from the UK last week. We've had mail from since we started this show and honestly, it is mind blowing. So thank you so much. Thank you

Starting point is 02:05:38 Like just Make me feel like An idiot For like I don't know A Mongolian word apparently it's a very tough language how did she get that made
Starting point is 02:05:47 I think she might have made it see this thing that's what I want to know because she tweets you right she tweets you yeah it's been a little while that's my question
Starting point is 02:05:56 when you see this on Instagram you're going to be blown away by it too did she make it because she didn't say that she made it oh she said she said yeah I remember this the reason I was like
Starting point is 02:06:05 oh yeah because this was like two months ago or something she asked for it because apparently if you ship something from Mongolia
Starting point is 02:06:13 it takes a while oh god oh my god this was so cool this was a day maker yesterday and we were so excited to bring this up
Starting point is 02:06:20 made in Russia it says on the bottom wow so I guess it was made in Russia now Jesse yesterday said to me he's like

Starting point is 02:07:35 um we have Aaron Sanchez but but the first matchup is Estrada Cole Hamels our hitting
Starting point is 02:07:43 will take care of the games when our pitching isn't so good because it's gotta step up eventually well there's a great way to hang your hopes and I think
