And David, I'm going to kick it to you in a second. But before we do, I want to make sure the people back at home know this is like two buddies sitting back having a couple beers, eating a couple hot dogs just shooting this shit. And when I say hot dogs, I mean a lot of hot dogs because we're going to start this

with a U.S. history segment. We're going to see how much the curious Canadian knows about U.S. history. For every question that I ask, he is going to give me a lot of it. answer for every answer that he gets wrong he is going to have to finish a hot dog we're going to do 10 questions maybe a couple bonus all under 10 minutes that's how we're going to start the show today july 4th edition before we do curious canadian david arduin how we feel it we're feeling we're feeling great i got the scent of american ballpark franks taking up my living room here i hope you're listening to this on a beach somewhere i hope you got a nice view and just like my buddy jay said

We just hope that you're kicking back, listen to this Fourth of July episode, two friends kicking out of like we're on vacation together. So let's get into it, Jay. I'm ready. I think I'm stimulated here. Ding, ding, ding. We are playing the U.S. History More Than Money July 4th Challenge. Hot Dog Central with David Ardwood.

We'll get into question one right here before we do, David. Put those hot dogs up. There they are. What brand are those hot dogs? Ballpark Franks. I was going to go. Ballpark Franks. I was singing swigles keep it Western New York, but these are ballpark Franks.

right here. Salings and Zwhigles. Salins are the hot dogs of Buffalo Zwigles of Rochester. The ballpark Franks are the hot dog of America. So David, here we go. Let's get the shot clock going. I'm going to get the clock going here. Here we go. Okay. If I get one wrong here, do I got to eat this before the next question? I got to eat it before the end of the episode. You got it. You got to eat it right away. Pop it out. Here we go. I'm going to give people play by play. Okay. Here we go. Question one. This has been on the podcast. And it's been asked recently. So if you were listening to the podcast like you should be, you would get this answer correct. What year was the Declaration of Independence signed?

It's not good for me. It's not a good start. 1887. Oh, God, July 4th, 1776. Let's finish that hot talk. Let me guys give you a play by play. The first bite was really solid. I would say he ate roughly around 40% of that. for the sake of our audience sticking around, David, you definitely cannot chew in the mic. We might have some misophonias out there. The mic is centered right away. I'm watching them chew right now, everybody. I'd say 80% of the hot dog is done. That is the first question. July 4th, 19776. If anyone ever gets confused by that, think of Hamilton, the Broadway show. 1776. All right. He is chewing down that first to hot dog. As he does, I'm going to ask question number. two. Who first discovered the Americas in 1492? And I will give you a clue to this one because

it's hard. Think discover. I got it. And when you, okay, he already knows the answer. Who's the answer? Christopher Columbus. Sailed the ocean blue in 1492. You nailed it. Let's go. I'm thrilled because I didn't know the year. I knew the person. So I'm glad you flipped that around on me. I love it. That first hot dog, it went down how to feel good. It was so good. It's still warm from the barbecue nice and sunny outside so it's good but yeah i'm trying to keep the mic away so we're doing good here but i'm nervous that first question made me nervous i don't i got to know that okay question three i'm skipping because i know it is too hard but we'll go to question four this is a good guy i am what country gifted the u.s the statue of liberty that would be france

look at david let's go he is on fire okay let's keep this going to go back and go back to question three. What was the first official? This is question four. What was the first official U.S. National Park? It's one that is very well known. So even if you don't know the answer, just say a very well-known national park in the U.S. I, oh, God. I have visited there and I have showcased it on Instagram. Oh, that doesn't make me feel very confident. I'm going to say Yosemite. Oh, you were so close with the Yves. Yellowstone. Oh, wow. Oh my gosh, his biting technique. Watch out. This guy might be on a hot dog eating contest challenge in the near future. 50% of that hot dog is already down. Wow,

90% of that hot dog is already down. Yellowstone National Park, one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, visited with my family. I saw a live buffalo there was just fourth and inches from it. I'll never forget this one area we took a picture in that the acidity of this, I don't even know what the hell it was called. But it was in the park, the acidity of the liquid that was in this like pool or whatever the hell it was. It was all natural. If you stepped into it, like your whole body would disintegrate. It was crazy. All that Yellowstone Park. David, that is two questions correct. Two questions wrong. Two hot dogs down in just three minutes. You're doing good. Are you ready for your next question? Question number five. You're talking about disintegrating

more hot dogs inner lining in my stomach might be disintegrating but yes i'm ready all right question number five on the two dollar bill what u.s. president is on the two dollar bill the two dollar bill jason i don't even know if i can name anything but the hundred dollar all right let's let's give you two more shots for this who is on the five dollar bill okay i'm sensing a sense to join this i'm going to this i'm going to just i'm to guess Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson on the $5 bill is incorrect. Thomas Jefferson is on the $2 bill.

Abraham Lincoln is on the $5 bill, but you thought it was the $5 bill. I'll give you a redemption. This will be it. I'm giving you a lot of opportunities here. On the $10 bill, who is on the $10 bill? You should know this one. I should know this one. I should know this one, Jason.

On the $10 bill, I'm just going to say Abraham Lincoln. The $10 founding father without a father got a lot farther by being a lot smarter by working a lot harder by being a self-starter by 14. They place him in charge of a trading charter. Alexander Hamilton, that is on the $10 bill. Eat a hot dog, buddy. Alexander Hamilton? Alexander Hamilton, one of our founding fathers.

Can you give me a rundown of the one to the $100 bill and who's on each? The one, George Washington, number two, Thomas Jefferson, number five. is going to be Abraham Lincoln. Number 10 is going to be Alexander Hamilton. Number 20 is Andrew Jackson. The 50. Fuck, who's on the 50? I don't know the 50. Do you know the 50? I don't know the 50. I haven't seen a $50 bill in so long. And then the $100 bill, I feel like everyone should know that Benjamin Franklin. This show is brought to you by Bill Rewards. You may have heard it before. Paying rent is an awful long-term investment. What if paying rent could actually help fund the down payment towards a future home? I know that's a

a crazy concept, but hear me out. There's a company called Built Rewards that's figured out how to do just that. They created the Built MasterCard, which is the first card to offer points on rent at any apartment with no transaction fee. That's right. You can earn points just by paying your rent a huge expense that you're already paying for every month. With the Bilt card, earn extra points on rent days and get exclusive travel and fitness rewards. And the best part is that even if your landlord requires a check or specific payment portal, Bilt can handle at all. The card is a no-brainer, in my opinion. You can use the built points you earn toward future rent payments, travel with major airlines and hotel groups, or use them towards

a down payment on a house. Earned points on your biggest expense with the built card just makes sense. Earn points by paying rent right now when you go to joinbilt.com slash trading secrets.

Terms apply. Let's keep this train going.

Let's keep this train going. This is the third hot talk. Can I get a piece of a little see? Oh, geez, 90% down. Three hot dogs. Question number six. You're doing a great job, got to say. How many U.S. coins are in circulation in 2024?

How many U.S. coins are in circulation in 2024 is multiple choice i hope right no so think about this don't think about how many coins are actually out there think about how many denominations options we have the denominations how many coin denominations are in circulation in 20 i mean it's probably wrong i'm going to say six yes who he's right wow david i am blown away right now you have the penny the nickel the dine the quarter, the half dollar, and the dollar. It's kind of a trick question because some people forget the dollar coin is still in circulation. Did you just take a stab at that or what?

I was hoping you were going to kick it to me for the six because I would have said exactly what you did, the silver dollar. You can't forget about the silver. Now I'm a Canadian. I'm a loonies and tunis guy. So I know my coinage. The half dollar, I wasn't sure if that actually was a real thing, but I definitely knew the silver dollar.

I needed a break from the hot dog. I'm fired up that I just got that right. That was huge. That's six questions. Three right, three wrong, 50%. That's an F in class. But here, that is an A. We're going to go to a tougher one here. And I'm going to allow you to be within a 30 year range here. That is a, I'm giving you a 30 year range. When did the U.S. government first release the U.S. currency? Think about U.S. currency. When did we first release the first U.S. currency? I'm not going to get this right Just literally guess in a year Is it before or after the Declaration of Independence Which if I have a good enough memory You just gave me the answer to that

I can't answer anything more If I'm going to give you a 30 range Just put think about what year we're in now 2024 we know currencies around We know there's six coins back into it We're just back back door 24 we got six coins I got to think the Declaration of Independence

do we got to have some kind of like currency by then no or maybe not I'm going to say 1800 Wow he does it again The answer is 1792 He is within eight years I said you have to be within 30 years

You do not have to eat that you're correct I have a death grip on this hot dog My hands are sweating I'm so scared to eat it four of seven. Now, I know the viewers back home are going to say, Jason, you're being too easy with all this bullshit. Start asking the question. So I'm going to do just that money mafia.

Here we go. Question number eight, what is the biggest loss the New York Stock Exchange has ever experienced at one time? This is like a dollar amount? I will give you this hint because then you have one through a hundred to get it right. You have a 1% chance of getting it right. It is a percentage. It is a percentage.

What is the biggest loss the New York Stock Exchange has ever experienced at one time? the biggest loss the new york stock exchange ever experienced at one time i have a one in a hundred shot of getting this this is absolutely impossible i'm going to say they experienced a when you say one time is that like a day like a moment correct they had a one day loss we're talking the most of all time of 62 percent in one day the answer 89 percent 89 percent 89 percent Keep eating, David. All right. So the New York Stock Exchange traces its origins to the Buttonwood Agreement signed by 24 stockbrokers in May 17th, 1792 as a response to the first financial panic in the Young Nation. It set rules for how stocks could be traded and established

commissions. The agreement aimed to promote public confidence in the markets to ensure that deals were conducted between trusted parties. All right. David is going down. 75% done. The New York Stock Exchange is where icons and disruptors come to build their success and shape the future. They've created the world's largest and most trusted equities exchange, the leading ETF exchange, and the most deterministic trading technology. Check out the New York Stock Exchange, down 89% during the 1929 crash. David Ardwin has taken four hot dogs down. He has had eight questions so he is four out of eight david you're ready to keep going i thought maybe you would have given me the year that went down i think that would have been maybe a little

more elementary of a question but i get it guy wants to see me get some hot dogs well think about it what in percentages there's one through a hundred so you got a one percent chance if i gave you a year we've already talked about 1776 and we're in year 2025 24 so you would have to guess a whole lot of years. Yeah, but I know about, I know a thing or two about the Great Depression. Okay. It's me right now. Eating, eating about to eat my fifth hot dog.

Here we go. Four hot dogs down real quick before we go to the next question. Like, how are you feeling? Stomach-wise, could you keep going? Are you feeling full? You feeling sick? Where are you at? I mean, I could, yeah, I'm going to keep going.

I agree to this. I got cocky and only brought eight buns down. And I didn't, I think I thought I was going to nail this. So we're loading up button number five right now. All right. Here we go. What is the largest denomination the Federal Reserve Note has ever issued for public circulation? What is the largest denomination federal reserve note ever issued for public circulation? For example, the $1 bill, the denomination's a dollar. What is the largest ever? 10 million. $10 million is the guess. That's a wild, wild guess.

The answer is 10,000. There was a $10,000 note out there, a $10,000 note that was discontinued in 1969. Boy, oh, boy, would I like to see a $10,000 bill? I didn't even literally tell David what the answer was, and half the hot dog was down. This guy is an absolute machine to be reckoned with, one who might have to be. to enter next July's hot dog eating contest. He is 70, 80, 90 percent through with hot dog number five going into his last question of the day. He's been doing great. The juices are flowing. And this guy is really off to a start. I never expected. How many more questions you

out? How many more questions? We got one more. We got one more. I could also add another. But you know what? We'll see. Six hot dogs would be pretty good. You're five in right now, right? yeah five hall parks down the hatchet on july 4th it's a beautiful thing number five here we go number 10 you mean going for number sorry yeah sorry now five hot dogs down six hot dogs possibly to go question number 10 i need this one what is the oldest european founded city in the u.s i mean that's is that a tongue Quister? Is that a riddle? Or do I, that's an actual question and answer. I feel like I'm on spelling bee right now. Can I get the language of origin? Can you use it in a sentence, please? There is a European founded city. It's in the U.S. It's a European founded city. It's the

oldest city that was founded by the Europeans, okay? So this has a- So this has like a name of a European city? Just think of European city. It's a European founded city in the U.S., and I will tell you this, it's in the state of Florida. So say any city you can think about in the state of Florida, and this might be your answer. I have to say a city in the state of Florida.

Does it have to have a European name to it? That would probably put you in a position to get the answer right, possibly, given the fact it's the oldest European founded city in the U.S. Naples. Love the guess. Love the guess. Incorrect. St. Augustine, Florida.

David, while you're doing that, I'm going to play a little classic. We're all rooting you on. The Curious Canadian, you've been an absolute trooper through this entire thing. And since then, let's keep it going. That's six down. Here we go. Here's number six. Four people.

Born in the USA. Our Canadians go ahead. Let's go, David. Let's go, David. And I had to start again with just my children and my wife. David looks like he's going to puke. I think my lucky stars live in you. Come on, David.

You're almost there, buddy. Stans for freedom. And they can take that away. Oh, David, you're almost there. And I'm proud to be an American. Well, at least I know I'm free. Come on, David. I won't forget the man who died, who gave that right to me,

and I gladly stand up next to you, and defend her still today. He's almost done, and I ain't no doubt I love. He's almost done. I think, ladies and gentlemen, David Arnaud is finished. Hot dogs in a very short period of time, absolutely electric work. How you feel it after those six ballparks? not great that was that was those are way harder questions that I was anticipating here's what we're going to do to the money mafia it's only fair if we reverse the circles here so next holiday

david will be in the hot seat he'll ask me 10 questions you guys go give us a five star review and tell us what should my penalty be should it be a shot should it be a beer should it be a hot dog maybe a raisin can't chicken tender i don't know what it should be but you guys tell me we'll reverse this david 10 questions you did great Now, a question for you. Let's banter a little bit before we wrap it up on the ones and twos. Let's just pretend you and I are sitting by your pool just talking shop for a little bit, a couple beers down.

Like, are you, technically, you're not a dual citizen, right? No. No, I've talked about it. You'll be one eventually, right? Yeah, I just have to go through the application process and then nail my test better than I nail those hot dogs today. But, no, permanent resident. What about Carter?

Carter is a U.S. citizen. Yep. Okay. So is he a Canadian citizen? I would have to apply for him to be a Canadian citizen. Got it. Okay. So will you do that?

Probably. Yeah, probably. I'll probably get him dual. Take care of myself first. And then I'll probably get him the duel. But I've been a green card permanent resident holder for, you have to be for three years before you can apply. So I've been that for five years now since I was married. So it just seems like one paperwork after another with life.

You know, life's busy. So I got to get that, I got to get that citizenship running. It won't be in time for the 2020. election but 2028 I'll be voting I'll be I'll be I'll be on the ones and twos so you've never voted before never interesting okay no never had the ability to just trust in my trust in my neighbors to go on their vote you know one thing I've never done I have never done six hot dogs in a sitting never done that jury duty either oh never done jury duty ash's done it okay yeah Yeah, I would, I would, everyone dreads it.

Like, I always feel like it's the worst thing ever. People like hate it. I would love to do some jury duty. Interesting. All right. What do you think about this, David? Let's get into this very, very high level, very high level. We're not big politics people here.

We talk money, but just a very quick synopsis. Did you watch the debate? I did. Yeah. I watched, I watched the first hour. You know, I'm going to say this. I'm going to preface this by just wait till the end. I thought it was incredibly.

entertaining. It seemed like an S&L skit. But then when it's sad, but I was, the whole time I was laugh. I was like, there's no way this is real. When the reality hits that it's the two candidates that are about to run the country, it gets a lot less funny, a lot real quick. So perfectly said, perfectly said. That's, that's all I got. Yeah. We don't, we don't talk politics on here. I don't think we need to. I don't think anyone wants us to. But definitely, you watch the debate, right? I mean, what's your tag you exactly you know what david we don't talk politics here i do agree with you i thought for a while i was watching a reality show like you know what a scene on a reality show where like two people like are out of their minds and they're just like talking shit they're not listening to each other and

they're not really saying anything that makes sense they just keep going i'm like this is reality tv and it was funny i was laughing i was laughing and then exactly what you said you have this realization like oh shit this is real and we have a lot of like big things happening in this world that are very important internally in this country and externally outside this country. You're just like, oh, shit. But you know what, David? We don't talk politics. We do talk numbers.

So I do want to go to odds checker.com. I'll just give odds right now. It'll be fascinating to see. And maybe what we do is every recap up until the election, we'll just give updated odds. Because what do we say? Story shift, context change. People lie. Odds and numbers don't lie.

So the current odds are Donald Trump is the favorite to win the election. at a minus 149 clip for anyone out there. That's not a better. What that means is you would have to bet $149. And in return, if Donald Trump won, you would be paid a hundred. So that's what means he's about a one and a half to one favorite. Right now, current odds of Joe Biden being reelected are plus 410. So what that means is he's a 4 to 1 underdog. If you put $100 down and Joe Biden wins, you'll get paid $410 back. Now, what's interesting is they also have because if there's a lot of moving parts here. They have other candidates that are out here. You have Gavin Newsome. He's a plus 1850. Michelle Obama is a plus 1,900. Gretchen Whitmer is a plus 2,700. Kamala Harris is a plus

3,300. When I say plus 3,300, that means if you put $100 that Kamala Harris will be the next president, you would get paid $3,300, clearly stating she is a 33 to 1 underdog. But anyway, those are some numbers. That's obviously very relevant. What else has happened in the news lately David, that's top of mind you want to chit-chat about on this 4th of July episode. I will say about the election really quick that I did like the format a lot better, that they actually like pause their mics and there was no live audience. So it was a little more controlled, it seemed, which I think those two both needed. So I thought that was good.

What else is relevant? Well, Jay, you know, Stanley Cup happened. You drink out of the cup. That's got to be a childhood dream of everybody. I mean, I still don't even think I'm for people who are out there, the Stanley Cup, what you win with and you win the NHL, which is perceived as the hardest trophy in sports to win, if you touch it, you can never win it. So it's a very superstitious thing growing up.

If you're at, you go to the hockey hall fame or if you touch the cup, you'll never win it. I'm 37. I'm never winning as a player. Who knows, maybe one day I'll win as a coach or a GM or something. So I'm not touching it, but you, Jay, you touched it. You got a little to walk us through that moment and bring some childhood Jay into it. It was the, I mean, literally my dream has been to hold the Stanley Cup or to drink out of the Stanley Cup or just to touch it. It's the coolest trophy in all of sports.

Growing up, my dream was always, like when I was a young kid, I was like, I could be a pro hockey player. I played hockey since day one, just obsessed with the sport. And to actually be there and then touch it and drink out of it was the crazy. It was like truly like I was living a fantasy. I have, you know, we went to go get a cup of coffee, David, and then we found out the cup was at that same place we got coffee. and they told us where they were going and that's when we headed that direction. Elbow room is a pretty famous, pretty popular spot I'm hearing. I feel like a lot of people have been bringing it up since then. It's like a backdoor barn. It's like a, you know, college bar type vibe, cash only. There's really

no, there's no doors or anything. It's like open format two stories. Everyone was on the first story. And then to get into the second story, the owner was like in charge of the security guard. And there were a couple girls that worked for the team and some that were married or engaged to players. And they saw Cat and I and they like waved us up. So he allowed us to go up there. Were you at all shocked with how, and maybe they were, they weren't, I don't know, the reaction of the players. How were they friendly? Were they open to having, you know, for all better purposes of terms, a random stranger up there with them next to the cup?

They had just won it less than 24 hours before. Were the guys nice, friendly open? What was the feel when you were there? You know, it's so funny, David, as I was walking up, there was a couple of, I'm walking up to Elmer Room, and a couple girls wanted pictures, you know, just like, oh my God, it's cat, Jason's there. So like, I took a few pictures.

And there were a couple pictures I took by myself. Well, then all of a sudden, all of these kids start coming up to me. And they're like, can we get a picture? Can we get a picture? I was like, oh, guys, guys, I'm not, I don't play for the team or anything. I was on reality TV. I'm like telling the parents, you know, I'm like, no, no, no, you don't want a picture with me.

And then this is what made it think in my head. I'm like, oh, my God, they like, you know, I have a hat on. My hair's coming out. I'm like, these kids literally think I'm part of the team. And then I get up there and I'm looking at these guys. And I'm like, I could blend in as a player. Like, you know what I mean? I got the scruff going, the hair.

Like, it's like hockey players. It's not like other sports, like a football. player, basketball player, where there's such differentiating, like, you know, statures of height and weight and stuff. So I could have, so I was thinking they're going to be like, who the fuck is this kid this, like, want to be, you think he's on team or whatever with this girl, like, get away. They were the complete opposite. They were like, cat, Jay, come on in. You know, Matthew could Chuck's fiance and sister we met. They were so sweet. They came right in, hey, can we get a picture? Of course. They were so open to it. I was blown away at how open they were to allowing anybody and

everybody to touch the cup to drink from the cup to hoist the cup they would fill it up david and on the second floor they would pour the cup down to all these hundreds of people on the first floor just so those people could say they drank out of the cup i was blown away by right now i am in this tweener era so let me tell you about it it's where i moved into this place i thought i'd be here for six months i'm now going month a month and i've been here for 10 months so i'm in between phases so a huge partner of mine has been court furniture now let me tell you about it they will design your area for you, whether you're in a tweener era or a fresh start era, or you just want to facelift with what you're looking at around your house, or you're moving somewhere,

but you don't know how long you'll be there. They'll design it for you. They drop off the furniture. They literally install it all, even the mirrors on the wall. And then what happens is you pay monthly for it. And as soon as you want to pick up, boom, they will bring out the trucks, they will take it away and move it out for you. And like, for example, I just got this new sick kitchen table. I bought it and I'm working with a company on it. And what are they doing? They're going to bring new chairs that fit for this kitchen table. I'll be paid monthly. And the second I need to be gone, they'll pick them up. So whether you're in the tweener era, you are just in a refresh era or you just want to facelift with your current furniture. You don't want to make a

huge long-term commitment with it at a big cost. Go to court furniture. Check out their furniture selection. And it could be huge for whatever era you're in. And I'll also take it. tell you, if you're looking for that long-term buy, you want furniture, if you go to the website, they have unbelievable discounts on furniture that you can buy that was even used or new. So check out court.com slash podcast. That's c-or-t.com slash podcast. Can I make a little PSA out here? Yes. Make it. Hockey is the best sport in the world, and this is why. When you watch the Super Bowl and you see the NBA championship and that trophy gets handed out, who's the first person

that touches the trophy? The owner. It's the owner of these teams. Who's the first person that touches the Stanley Cup? It's the captain of the team. It's the leader of the men who won the trophy. And then in the NHL, you get the trophy,

you get the Stanley Cup. It's passed around to every single player on the team. Every player on the team gets the moment to skate around the rank, lift the cup up, kiss the cup. You give it to the veterans first, to the new guys, at the end, then you gather for a team photo, just the team

and the support staff and the coaches and the administration and then the families get to come on and then they get their intimate time and then everyone meets in the locker room after and they do the champagne and everything hours after they win the cup. And then you get to celebrate with the cup for a week

until the parade and then every single player on that roster, every single coach in that roster gets a day with the cup where the cup gets shipped out to their hometown and they can do whatever they want with it. I just think when I watch these other sports, I see the owners getting it first. There's an interview

live on stage. There's a million and a half people on the stage. The teammates are already so disconnected as soon as the final buzzer sounds because there's so much media. There's so many random people on the field or on the court. The hockey purist and me just loves that. It's such a team

first, such a family first. It's just the culture of that. To me is just the best. I haven't ever missed a Stanley Cup raising ceremony in my life, and I never will. I absolutely love it. It was cool, David. We'll have to have him on the podcast, but the chief operating officer of the Florida Panthers, Bryce Holwegg is going to come on the show and tell us a little bit about like what ticket sales were like, etc. I did ask him, I'm like, do you guys make a lot of money off like winning the cup? And he's like, dude,

it's like the NHL takes so much off the top for us. So like they don't. But I did find it interesting real quick. We'll kick it back to you. The guy's the night that they won. I was like, where'd you guys go? What club were you at? What'd you do? They stayed at the rink and like five in the morning. They stayed with that cup, did everything at the partied. But there's also David, and you and I will have to go, we'll have Bryce on the pot, and then we'll have to go back to Florida for a game. There's a speakeasy that they bring like certain clientele to VIP only that speak

easy in the actual rink that we'll have to check out. Amazing. So here, I got a hypothetical for you. I'm curious to see what the people at home would do. Game seven, Stanley Cup at your ring. You're a season ticket holder. So let's say your season package for the entire year costs $7,500. Game 7 Stanley Cup, are you putting your ticket on the secondary market?

Stubhub or whatever it is, C. Geek. Are you selling your Game 7 Stanley Cup ticket for $7,500 and ensuring that you're getting free season tickets to the next year? Because that's what's, that's a thing that happened. And they said people are selling their game season. seven, Stanley of Fun. Okay. No. Money guy, you never know.

What do you, yeah, but why do you even have a, why do you have season tickets? So maybe one day you could go to a game seven of a Stanley Cup. I mean, the team's been in organization for 30 years. You're going to sell your ticket? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. All right. Now, Dave, the dream, like we talked business on this podcast, we actually got paid to go by Celsius.

It was a brand deal. So like that, that to me is like, I don't think that's, like, when people are going to say to me moving forward, what's the coolest experience you ever got? There's no way when it comes to work. There's a cool experience in that top number one. No, when you told me that, that was just surreal. And I like that answer. You know, it's nice to know that you still got the small town Buffalo kid had on,

not this big finance guy had on because I could have seen you spinning it and saying, well, David, if you look at an investment, you're getting 42 nights of entertainment the next year at the cost of one night of entertainment that you could just watch it. But I'm glad to see you're in the building. You get the chills. I like that. one thing I was dying about was Ian Mort. I just saw him.

We know Peggy Mort's a huge listener to the show. Peg, if you're listening, what's up? But Ian Morton made a mention of he's like, dude, I'm sitting there watching the Stanley Cup, and I watched their Instagram, and all this great content, all of a sudden, your dumbass mug is on the front page of their Instagram. I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.

He goes, but here's the best part. Here's the best part. You scroll down other photos in that post, and Justin Thomas, one of the best players in the entire golf PGA is literally in there and they don't tag them. You're dumb asses in their front center and Justin Thomas is on this post

and they don't tag them. You've got to be shitting me. Yeah, it was a great presence of a collection of people there. And again, it's just the atmosphere in that building. It was a great game. There's been a lot of change in the last year, but the one thing that's remained consistent are what the boys ramen and Pino are eating,

the farmer's dog. It was founded by two dog lovers who decided decided to reimagine pet food from the ground up. And in the 10 years since they delivered their first meal, the response has been incredible. The farmer's dog makes real fresh dog food and delivers it right to your door. Recipes are developed by vet nutritionists made from real meat and veggies portioned right to your dog. I'm actually watching ramen and Pino eat their meals right now.

I can literally see the real veggies in their meal. And a fresh diet has also been found to have all sorts of benefit. a healthier coat and skin, to our favorite, fresher breath, and even better digestion and smaller, better poops. A healthy diet isn't just important for humans. So get 50% off your first box of fresh, healthy food at thefarmer's dog.com slash secrets. Plus, you get free shipping.

Stanley Cup is over, and I think the next big sporting events on the Horizon Jay

talk about current events is the Paris Olympics. Now, have you been following any of the lead-up to the Paris Olympics? Because I want to throw a money stat at you. I will tell you, I have not, other than the USA gymnast team who is just selected. I haven't paid much attention. I do want to hear your money stat in two seconds before I do. I want to tease everyone. We have one of the best Olympians.

The best Olympians coming on the podcast in a couple of weeks. I'll leave it at that. Throw me a money stat. Do you know what the Seen River is in Paris? I don't. Okay, eat a hot dog. No, you don't actually have to eat a hot dog. But the Seen River is like the main river that goes through Paris.

Okay. The scene, it's been illegal to swim in the scene since like 1929. They're planning to do all of the like water sports in the state. scene so like think of your rowing your crew your kayaking like all the stuff because it's an it's an active river the scene is so dirty and disgusting that it's like eight it's been like eight times the amount of like bacteria that is to be in the water so they've spent jason over a billion dollars to clean the scene and the mayor and the president or the prime minister of france were supposed to swim in the scene on the 23rd of june because that was supposed to do when it was all

clean and it's still shit brown and they and all the protest people are processing because if a billion dollars went into cleaning it it's not clean so they were going to shit in the scene so the day that they were supposed to swim in it they were all going to go poop in the scene

and it's still brown and they didn't swim in it and they pushed the date back but a little money money fact to watch and Olympics cost a crazy amount of money and I just wonder if the economic impact on the cities matches that we will do i think it does but we will do a whole whole episode on that breaking down the economic

impact i'll end with this because this is a little bit of a sports conversation we're having here let's end with this one i already mentioned ian mort you talked about the paris olympics i was with ian mort watching the english slovaki game yesterday and i am blown away at the comment that he made and i just want your quick take he believes there's he believes that when the world cup comes to the United States, which is coming in 20, 26, and America is in their early stage rounds. There's always going to be one other big team there, right? It could be Italy. It could be France. It could be Belgium. It could be Germany. It could be, it's going to be a big team. He thinks that game, USA versus whatever big team is in their conference, will be the hardest ticket to get in

the history of all sports on U.S. soil. It's a very bold Ian Mort statement. It's a very Ian Mort statement. I will say this, though. A Super Bowl comes and goes every year. So if it's not this, I'll just get the next one. The World Cup is bigger than all of the Olympics combined. And the Olympics, you usually have so many different sports you can go to if you're going to the Olympics.

I could see that being true. Now, if it's at like a MetLife, it's at a sofa, we're talking 80 to 100,000 seat stadiums, which, you know, if you want to take it bad enough, I can't imagine it going for 10 grand in the, in the 500 levels. I can't wait for the World Cup. The finals is in MetLife in New Jersey. It's actually a tri-host between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. And United States, right. And all across the country, I think Dallas and Gillette Stadium in New England, and you got MetLife, you got the old L.A. stadium there. So far. So far. Yep. So it's going to be surreal. Keep the influencing gig up, Jay, because I might need to, we might need to get to a game. We'll have to see. There's definitely the rarity factor, right? I mean, the Olympics or the World Cup star has been in the United States in 30 years. It only happens once every four years. There's no doubt about that. But when you

talk about the numbers, I think only 15 million people from America tuned into the biggest game when we played England last in the World Cup. So we'll see. More to come on that. We talk sports here. We talked the presidential debate. We did some U.S. history where David Ardoin took down six hot dogs. Any last comments before we wrap this 4th of July episode? Listen, I'm very fortunate human being on Monday. July 1st was Canada today. I celebrated with my family over FaceTime. July 4th, I'm sitting here. The pools at a great temperature. I'm ready to do a big time belly flop after eating all those hot dogs. You know, I'm lucky enough to experience two great countries, lucky enough to be here with you today to talk to the people to celebrate America.

I truly believe, even though I'm not American yet, is the greatest country on earth. Blessed to be here, blessed to have this opportunity to talk to you, bless to do what I like to do for a living and what is my passion and my dream. So overall, you're just getting a really appreciative, curious Canadian slash hot dog I'm eating, hot dog eating, pretending American in the short term. And you never know, Jay. next July 4th could be a July 4th citizenship party we'll see wow it might be a citizenship party it'll be interesting to think about you know I think about for me where I was a year ago on July 4th

I remember the day vividly and it was a dark place I think about where I am today and what a happy place it is and I think about you know just this past week in Nashville it's been a little tough but currently today I'm with cat I'm with Alice we're out in Idaho you'll see some pictures on it's incredible out here but just just grateful just grateful for i think for anyone out there like to sit back on a holiday like this and just be grateful for the land that your feet are living in in the air you're breathing and the luxuries we have in this country we are all so blessed and so fortunate and so it's been real i'm so excited for what this next year is to come and just a thought that has nothing to do with fourth of july i'll put out there that no matter how dark of a place

you might think you're in. It is fucking insane if you do the right things and you really go through the grieving and you work to see the light at the end of the tunnel and just one year's period, your entire life can change. So it's cool to kind of think about where you might have been on other Fourth of July's and where you are today. So that's all I got. David, anything you want to say before you close it out? No, I'm loving it. Happy Fourth of July. Thank you for listening. And we'll see you on Monday. charity and dime coming up Monday they're in the hot seat and we have some breaking news from their career tracks they haven't announced yet get ready for another episode of trading

secrets one you can't afford to miss
