Me and Ryan have been officially welcomed to the jungle that is Boston Sport. Our white whale, Sydney Crosby. Shave his head. Shave his head. Shave his head. Ryan Whitney, Paulette, RA, Mike Grinelli, Spitt Chicklet. What is up, folks? Welcome to episode 582 of the Spit and Chickles podcast. Great to see you guys. First thing, you know what’s coming. I want to shout out Pink Whitney Keith. He’s got the bottle. And guys, I believe we are exactly 10 days away from the welcome party for this year’s event of the century. The Boston Stranglers versus the Big Deal Selects. And Pink Whitney is going to be flowing. We get the party on Thursday night at Park City. Mike Shaw, shout out that new amazing outdoor spot. Uh, and party’s uh Friday night. Thursday night we’re at Harpoon. Yeah, suck on that. Whit [ __ ] the Boston Tri. I’m I’m going I’m I’m going to Park City. Yeah. Yeah. You’re going to get the team ready and you’re going to drink Pink Whitney doing it. So, everyone, thank you so much for supporting the brand, drinking it the way you do. Uh, I still can’t believe, did you see the We talked about the root beer and the Pink Whitney, right? Did we mention that, Biz? Okay, so I’m still like amazed. I still haven’t tried that one, but just racking my brain for uh more things to talk about with Pink Whitney. Biz, you’ve been on an amazing wild ride in Vancouver or outside Vancouver, I should say. Season one peaking, give us a grade, one out of 10. Uh like 25 honestly, like I like I’ve done a lot of [ __ ] in my day, boys. Like I got to play in the NHL. Uh want to call their cup. Not a big deal. Um, you know, I’ve been able to travel a a lot of places, but uh the last week of my life has been one of the most incredible journeys that I’ve ever been on. And uh just like I I I I don’t even like I’m it’s going to be so hard to describe everything that we were able to do, but I’m so excited for you guys to see season one of peaking. And um obviously it started off in on the mainland um in in Vancouver and then it ended up in uh in um uh like basically halfway up island where something that we hadn’t even had planned at the start of the trip. So just the way that it it took a took a path like organically and we ended up where we ended up was it was just magical. So um you guys kind of want me to just like start about how it all all like went down. Yeah. I I I want to know before all of this, have you smoked weed? So, because I’m I I was like thinking of you on this track, this amazing journey we’re going to hear about. I’m like, was he So, so I took a rip out of a bong right before I left the last place that we left with a guy named Clint. Um, and he was the one who who owns this this cabin where we went to on uh uh I don’t want to [ __ ] up the name. I got it right here, boys. I had I had to like open up so many tabs so I don’t [ __ ] up the names of like places we went, but we finished off the hike on uh Mate or Mount Albert, Washington, and it’s this like huge peak. We didn’t go all the way to the top, but I would say I would say five 5/8 of the way up. this this kid’s father or or sorry, excuse me, his grandfather like bought a bunch of land like back way back in the day where it was probably like $5 per acre and and they donated uh a lot of it back to like the national park, but they were able to keep this 13 acre like island that’s surrounded by Moat Lake. So you’re like we like literally hiked up to like six hours into the mountains of this of this area and you had to take a little boat or you could have swam across but we had all our bags and stuff. So they one of them got over there and they took a boat over and that’s how we got onto the island that had cabins where we finished off the trip with this amazing group of people we met. And so that was like I felt like I had to smoke a bowl with him before I left. Now keep in mind the father or the kid? No, the kid. the kid the kid brought all of us up. And um yeah. Um so as far as my drug use, I I took I took uh I did and I did uh a bunch of variations of So that was it was a bit of a journey. Little weed, four other hard drugs. I we’re got this. We got this. But I imagine this is all about the setting. It was the setting. It was the setting. And it it was is definitely magical when they’re on a hiking trail. I don’t even know. What is that? So, surprisingly, horses are good in the mountains though, Keith. That’s true. Thankfully, I took a little bit like my body was a little bit banged up. So, as we started that hike, I probably did it like an hour in and like I couldn’t feel my legs like in a positive way where my back wasn’t sore. And I probably I I probably hiked the whole thing with like a I would say a 60 to 65 pound pack that had a bunch of steaks and potato and food in it along with like my clothing. So when you do this like you got to you brought potatoes the heaviest vegetable. Well, it was it was these guys these guys were going to be up there longer than we were. Like their journey was going to end up continuing. So why don’t I just start from the beginning of the trip and then get to this part. So yes. Um, we start we started everything for peaking on the mainland. So, we went around like Stanley Park and I got the show. Wantton Don is who I’m doing this project with. Uh, Cory is is like the producer, videographer. He hikes with us and like kind of a jack of all trades. He helps edit it with Wanton. And then we added uh Tyler, a kid like I I think he’s been with Bar Stool for less than a year and he got added onto this one. Like we filmed the original pilot in Tennessee, but it was just me, Wanton, and Cory. But because we were doing a full week and it was such a grind, we added this Tyler kid who was amazing. And uh we had such a good forum. And so the first priority was doing um the grouse grind to kind of test Donniey’s shape. And I talk about doing the grind all the time. I’m not going to give it away, but he did pretty solid. He posted a picture prior to the trip shirt off next to you. You look pretty ripped up. And he was I mean he was getting crushed but but he called himself out. He’s like yeah I I it takes a lot of balls to post himself. No no no tarp on next to you. You’re working out six times a day. No no no doubt. But I will give him a lot of credit. He is in unbelievable hiking shape. Like he’s a he’s a mule where you would look at his body and be like oh no he’s probably not going to make it like up to Keith in hockey. Kind of like Keith kind of. Well at least when you started Keith I felt like you slimmed out as your your career progressed. Maybe you you watch the diet. So, um but when we brought Watts and Gloves on board, shout out to Watson and Gloves cuz they were one of the two sponsors that came on board and not only did we get gloves for the entire trip when we were like we they have gloves for fishing, they have gloves for [ __ ] hiking, uh we ended up mountain biking, like downhill mountain biking on the top of Gross Grind, which I think that that’s only been up there for a few years and like that you can write rent bikes up there and stuff like that. So, um, yeah, like they Watson Gloves, one of the guys who who works there, his his daughter works for Gross Grant. So, they were able to facilitate it and we also then got to feed the two grizzly bears that were at the top. They Now, people are say, “Oh, why do they have grizzly bears in captivity?” Well, they’ve been there for I believe they’re both turning 25 where uh both of their mothers were killed when they were cubs. So, like they wouldn’t have survived. So now those two wi the bears live on the top of that gross mountain and they have like their own area and then they feed them and they they act like like normal grizzly bears like they go hibernate for like whatever four or five months during the winter and they don’t come out. So what’s that? They are normal grizzly bears. Are you saying Yeah. I just meant like even though they’re like they’re they were they’re like orphans or however you want to call them and they’re in captivity. Maybe some people might be like, “Oh, do they just kind of hang out for the full 12 months cuz like you can go up there during the winter time and ski and you can always go check out the bears and they’re super friendly.” So that was like that was day one. And then the next day we ended up going up to um Whistler where Donnie had Donniey’s really good at researching and finding what hikes we should do and he’s good at like siphoning through all the DMs that he’s getting and he chose to do this one that was russet lake and you have to take there’s two ways to get up. There’s more of like a normal path which we didn’t want to go that way. So, we took the gondola to a certain point and then that was when we ended up jumping on the last podcast. So, that’s where like when you’re hiking up, you’ll see like like two different uh peaks where there’s glaciers on them. All of a sudden, you see that Scottish looking golf course. So, the type of terrain you’re hiking on and what you’re seeing, it is so stimulating where like one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen in my life. So I think it took us about 6 7 hours to finally get there and it was like as the sun was setting and it was unreal. They got this fresh lake up top. You pitch your own tent. You cook your own food and it’s just like obviously you made the potatoes potato salad. So actually we didn’t we didn’t we didn’t cook at that one. We brought like dry food. So save the potatoes for the last day so you can just carry 60 lb. No no no. We got those supplies the last day, you [ __ ] [ __ ] Is this when you had no water? And can you maybe a really stupid question, can you fill up and drink the water in like the lakes there? You get like tablets. Yeah. Uh you they have these filters that you could put on the top of your water bottle. So when you sip out of it, it filters the water. Fast forward though, when we ended up at that Moat Lake, buddy, we’re swimming in the water and you could drink it. It is the [ __ ] cleanest water you’ve like it it was ridiculous how fresh that water was. Like I’m literally swimming in the water and just like drinking water. Obviously not hosing in it as you know sometimes we tend to do. Um but going back to to the russet lake thing and we’re like we’re we just finished cooking dinner and this is a stupid thing. I didn’t realize the moon moved. I just thought like, oh, if we got a moon night, it’s going to be there in the sky and then all of a sudden it’s there and it doesn’t move and it stays in that spot until the morning. Like, did you were you aware that the moon moon rotated around the earth? Of course. And I’m not a very highly educated human, but yeah, I knew that. Yeah. But either way, so they have this beautiful peak as we’re we have the lake to the right and we’re finished cooking and we’re trying to set up our tent and then all of a sudden boom, the most beautiful moon I’ve ever seen in my life. It was a completely full moon and we just sat up there and they taught me all about the solar system which I had really no idea about. I also had remember any of what they told you or was it kind of like a conversation where you’re like I don’t remember what we went over? No, I could we could break it down. Like I was I was captivated by a lot of conversations and actually the amount of knowledge that Wanton Don and Cory and and even Tyler have like um I didn’t know that like they basically kicked Pluto out of our out of our solar system like Pluto’s on waiverss. Were you aware of this? Like for termination of the contract waiverss? Yeah. Like they got sent down to the [ __ ] cheese toast league. Like you you could G can Google it up and he could put it in the chat. So all of a sudden we’re minus one on a planet that I had no idea about. Do you know how long it would take to get to Pluto? If you to if you took a spaceship without moving my hands and looking up, my my guess would be this could be very embarrassing. 10 years. Well, I was going to say the same thing. I was going to say the same thing. I was like I could be way off. My first guess in my head was 200 years. No. And I was like, I think that’s crazy. So, I went to 10. 9 and a half years it would take to get to Pluto if you were on a ship. Guys who’ve been on waiverss know each other’s thoughts, you know, like I’m close. I’ve been through that Pluto. Okay, so here’s another one though. To get out of our solar system, guess how long it would take until you got out. Keep in mind, Pluto Pluto was the last planet until they put it on waiverss. You know how long it would take? 100 hours. 100 hours. You can’t go from 9 and 1/2 years to 100 hours. I meant 100 years. 100 years. Sorry, not hours. No, no, what? I think you were just going to say 30 35 years to get out of our solar system. And like another thing like like so once you get past that like there’s obviously probably other planets and all these other [ __ ] galaxies and it just keeps going and going and going. So just just really learning about a lot of the things that they were talking about were it’s infinite infinite. So and that can actually mess with your mind if you think about it or it has with me. You’re like you can’t wrap your mind around it. Yeah. And just talking about like how like Elon wants to colonize Mars and how that would even be possible. Um you know certain planets have like multiple moons. I like I I don’t know if it was they were talking I don’t know if it was Mars or maybe maybe it was Mercury like that has like three or four moons. So, just kind of learning about that type of stuff, which boy is I have an OHL education. I didn’t really pay attention. I mean, I [ __ ] took grade nine geography in grade 12. It was just cool to learn about it. Um, also learned a lot about Teddy Roosevelt on the way down, American President. This guy had one of the most interesting lives of all time. And I I I I’m forget most of what Donnie was saying. I know that he saved American football. He discovered uh like he he um he um he had a lot to do with preserving the national parks like where he was such an outdoorsman. I think I’d heard that before, but that that would align with if you’re saying he had an interesting life and other stuff. I believe I’ve heard at least that a president saved the national park. Maybe I didn’t know it was him. Yeah, he uh he was actually shot not while he was president, but he was giving a speech and the speech he wrote was so long he folded up the paper and it was so thick that the bullet went and and the the speech saved his life. Did were you aware of that? The piece of paper like Donnie was saying that the that the piece of paper that and this is all stuff that we’re talking about on the on the way down we were talking about. So, I guess I kind of got a little bit sidetracked, but shout out to Teddy Roosevelt and like everything that he provided the the way that Donnie described him. Easily one of the best presidents the United States have ever had. Is he on one of the dollar bills? No, I don’t think so. I think so. Unfortunately, how funny would it be if Donald lied to Biz about all this stuff? He is on Mount Rushmore. Yes, he should be. He This guy sounds like a Mount Rushmore type. He um unfortunately I believe his mother and wife passed away on the same day and like he would and then I think yeah so he was obviously an extremely resilient guy wanted to go to war um uh himself um I think that his kid his kid went to war and his kid passed away in war and that’s what kind of changed his perspective on like on like fighting and and going to war in itself. So, he just kept going on with fact over fact over fact about Teddy Roosevelt. And I was just blown away by by um like how how like I was how big of a [ __ ] man he was. Uh he beat uh malaria when he was over he he beat malaria when he was overseas like uh um I think he was or not overseas he was going through uh through like the Amazon and he ended up getting malaria and he thought he was going to die there like had a severe leg break and we basically told this kid like just go on without me let me die here and his kid was like absolutely not. So the the the the bangers that Donnie kept saying about this guy, I’m like there’s no way all this happened to one person, especially back then when like I life expectancy was probably like 60 years old at the time. He only lived to be 60. So he lived the life of a thousand men. So Biz, do you ever have the thought when when you cuz I I’ve hung out with Donnie, great guy. Is there any part of you that wishes you knew more about a bunch of stuff? cuz I don’t know anything about anything. I do enjoy meeting people and getting to spend time and hearing things like the way you’re describing he’s telling you about all these different things. I love that. I just wish sometimes I could give people things. I got nothing. You want to talk about hockey or golf? I got you. Uh that’s not true. You’re you’re knowledgeable about a lot of stuff like you’re you’re being a little bit I could never teach about Teddy Roosevelt. I I know. And and I think there’s a a a few if not a lot of people from Bar Stool that are just very knowledgeable especially when it comes to history like those uh rediscovering America guys um like Nikki Clicky KB uh wantton Cory who helps with that show like they’re just like well-versed and well read and I think that this trip like we remember how we joked about reading a couple pods ago and how I need to start reading. I think that this has definitely like captivated my interest in learning a lot more about history and just being able to like have dialogue about this crazy [ __ ] that’s happened in our past for us to even be able to, you know, live the lives that we live. Um like we were talking about um like the like the ice age and all that type of stuff. I won’t go too too deep into that right now, but um but long story short, we we hiked down and and it was about a 6-hour journey, but we went the other way. So, we went the hard way up to Rustet Lake and then down like the quote unquote easier leg. But for anybody who’s hiked long distances, the way down is the pain in the ass because it really [ __ ] up your knees. And then we spent the night in uh in Whistler. Uh brought the boys for for a real nice dinner. And then the next day it was off to uh to the island where we take we took the BC ferry from Horseshoe Bay over to Ni Naimo which is pretty much like halfway up island on the interior side. And it was cool because they got to experience taking that ferry and the and the beautiful sights out of um um Horseshoe Bay. And if if like you guys have never you’ve never been to Whistler, have you Yans? No. There’s a there’s there’s a there I figured you hadn’t went, but there’s this sea to sky highway that on the way up and down where you’re just seeing all these different mountain ranges, whether it’s like Pender Island and all these different islands on off of the coast of of the mainland of BC. So, it’s one of the most renowned beautiful highways, I would say, at least in North America, if not the world. And then when we got to Nimo, we drove straight up to to a place called Tofino. Now, Tofino is is a a a town of 2500 people with, but it’s almost like unescribable. It it it like it has like the Pacific Northwest um vegetation, but it feels like you’re in like kind of like Hawaii. And I I posted a video of it on on Twitter and then and then on Instagram. I don’t know if you guys had the ability to check it out, but it’s also one of the best uh remote um surfing places in the world. And um I don’t even Are we dropping Tyson Barry for the interview today? Yes. Okay. Just so Tyson Barry put me in touch. He goes up there all the time. Like we’re neighbors here in in Oak Bay in Victoria. He put me in touch with the the goat of Canadian surfing named Pete Dere. So we were able to link up with him. We went to this Long Beach surf shop. These guys had reached out even prior. Completely took care of us. Got us our boards, our wets suits. Unreal guys. Like their kids play hockey. Got to spend a little time with them getting to know their staff. And then we got to go like I I’d been surfing one time, but I couldn’t even get on the board. But we got to go with the Canadian Goat and and Donnie who surfed before and surf in one of the most remote places in the world to surf. And how big are these waves? They like some of them were getting to like eight to 10 feet. Oh, so legit. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Legit. I’m I’ll save it for the video. I don’t How cold was the water? The water’s cold, so you got to wear a wet suit. But those wet wet suits I I went in later that night like no suit cuz I like getting in the cold water at least for a little bit. But those suits, although restricting, they keep you warm. It’s basically like you’re a [ __ ] like a seal. Um, and we did that in Cox Bay. Um, and then there’s like a little like little micro hike. It takes about 15 minutes to get up and then you get the view of the entire uh little bay there. And I just got to like obviously there’s a lot of people to thank like obviously Pete Deere’s like Long Beach surf shop but my friend Mike Mai who married my good friend Cal Connor’s uh sister Sophie like they gave us their place on the water in Tofino like this unbelievable shack for the for the 3 days that we were there. So we were right on the beach with that view that you guys saw on the live stream. So we got completely dialed in. Um, and then the next day we got hooked up through uh Dan Ham, who’s former hockey player. He owns um a restaurant and like a a marina in Tofino and they got this restaurant there called Shelter that he owns with a couple guys. So, we end up going out with this guy. He puts us in touch with Lance. We go to this unreal remote fishing spot that’s probably like 354 minutes off the dock. Um, and we go salmon fishing. will not uh spoil any of that. Obviously, we caught some. And then in that little where the marina is in that bay area, two, three times a year, you might see orcas in there. Orca whales. Sure as [ __ ] buddy. We [ __ ] dock the boat. We go up to shelter. The Brazilian chef was kind enough to take the fish that we just caught. He He cooks it up for us. And in the midst of him cooking it, cooking it, the a couple Chicklets fans who were on other boards boats, they were telling Donnie like, “Yo, there’s orcas out there cuz they saw a big blood spill cuz they just killed like a like um like a whatever like a sea lion or something, right? That’s how they eat. They [ __ ] kill those things.” And and sure enough, there was like a pack of four or five of them. So me and Donnie get back on the boat with Lance. We go out there and we get to [ __ ] watch these killer whales from from like you can’t get too close. It’s like they don’t want you the Coast Guard like they’ll come at you and and so we got to see [ __ ] killer whale whales on our trip. Like what what are the chances? So we get lucky with just all this weather and all this timing. The fact that this place was willing to cook up this food for us. We get back, we have this unbelievable fresh salmon meal with risoto prepared for us. It was just like it it was it was top tier. And so this is so uh that was kind of like the the last like special part of Tofino. So we had to leave the next day where we were going to do this lone cone trail in Tofino to end it all off because hiking is the premise of the show where we want to do a big hike. So this um guy named Tyler Turner Whit and Yans he’s um like a a a par how do you say like a a parolympian like where he he so he he he lost his legs in a skydiving accident and yeah just he tough tough bounce like I don’t know if he pulled the chute too late and he he lost both of his legs and um he was having a very difficult time like after it all happened and this former uh football player a retired guy. His name is David Vabbora. And I don’t know if you’ve heard of this guy. He was Mr. Irrelevant. He was drafted last overall the year he was drafted to the Rams. Played five years in the NFL. And [ __ ] that’s a legit career. Legit career. Big played five years. Played five years. And he he was telling me stories how I didn’t realize Mr. Irrelevant, like they bring you to Disneyland. Like they they kind of treat you like you’re the first Yeah. They kind Yeah. Mr. irrelevant. The last draft in the last pick in the draft every year in the NFL, they like treat you to this like weekend with your family. Like they fly you around and it’s kind of like funny. I think they present you with a trophy but not like the Heisman, the guys fumbling the ball. Like it it’s [ __ ] it’s it’s hilarious. He was explaining all this. So his last year in the NFL with he blew out his shoulder bad and he ended up getting addicted to opiates and obviously eventually turned his life around and like he he needed to find his next purpose and uh he started this charity and it’s called Adaptive Training Foundation where he he has a gym in Dallas, Texas and he takes people there’s two I didn’t realize how many people um lose limbs every year and and you know uh what’s the what’s the term I’m looking for when you when you lose a limbation ampute 250,000 of them a year um that happens right and he has this foundation where it’s all funded where they take the people who have gone through this and the these like unfortunate events they bring them there for nine weeks they train them they they teach them how breathing um how to recover and just completely take them out of their world and the dark place that they’re in and and rehabilitate them to provide them like like you know the tools to to continue their life and and change things around. Powerful stuff. It was an emotional trip um at the end. So this Tyler Turner kid where when that happened to him, this David reached out to him and at first Tyler was like, “Yeah, yeah, buddy. [ __ ] former NFL guy. He has handsome guy. Has everything going for him. Yeah. Yeah. You’re going to [ __ ] turn my life around cuz he was such in the dumps about being paralyzed. And then finally went down there and completely changed his life and and got him back into shape. Four and a half year years later, he ends up winning a gold for team Canada at the Parolympics on a snowboarding. Wow. And wow, what a story, dude. Incredible. So this Tyler Turner reaches out to me via DM because he heard on the podcast he listens to Chicklets about connecting with us because through that foundation he stayed involved with this uh David Babbora and this other kid from the island that Tyler knew he was he was doing wheelies and he went the wrong way and he got hit by a truck and ended up losing his leg. Same same thing. He was in a dark place. Tyler says, “Buddy, we’re going to hook you up with this David guy. We’re going to go down to Texas. We’re going to rehabilitate you and and get you get your confidence back and get you on the right track. So, like I was in the same place, man. Like just same [ __ ] place. Same [ __ ] place. So, they they always have like a oh [ __ ] goal um after their nine weeks, right? And their goal was to get to the top of this uh Mount Albert, Washington, which is um it’s uh Mount Albert Edward in uh Strath Kona Provincial Park on Vancouver Island near Mount Washington Alpine Resort. So that we actually went to the resort to start this whole hike and they were these guy like he he lost one leg. Tyler’s got no legs and they wanted to hike all the way to the top of this mountain. Um, there’s a picture of the whole group, right? That’s their that’s their group of guys. And the the guy in the far right here, he he was a former NFL player. He ended up playing with with David um in Minnesota. So, he helps out at that gym down there. Um, and obviously there’s a few other amputees that were would join us. The one guy there is Clint who owns the the the the camp like the lodge up on that Moat Lake. Um, and so like obviously he knew Tyler. So they set this whole thing up where we were going to hike up together to that Moat Lake and that was going to be the end of our journey cuz these other guys had to get back but they were going to continue. though. Um, this Chase kid who’s also a Chicklets fan, we and through Tyler reaching out instead of doing this lone cone hike in in Tofino, we’re like Donnie is facilitating the whole thing via text while I’m driving and we end up linking up with these guys and going to this resort and we did the hike up to this Mo Lake with him and just kind of learn about this whole story and this David Babbora guy and what he’s doing and and what he’s providing these people as much as he can, right? like he he raises the money and everything is paid for. They fly these guys down. He personally trains them for the nine weeks like and he just you know becomes a massive part of their life not only for that nine weeks but forever and and so you know we did that hike we got to spend some time with them. Obviously, there was a day in between for them to eventually peak and get to the top because they they had to get rest because boys, it’s it’s like it’s hard on their bodies, right? Like they [ __ ] buddy. Like like like Tyler, he’s like I can’t even like externally rotate my my legs. So they’re like kind of like swinging it around. So it just like like for me personally like just like getting to hear these stories and and like like you know puts a a lot into perspective, right? like so so makes you like so grateful dude and oh it was and like the feeling of the [ __ ] that you complain about not you anyone or like bothers you and then you’re like that’s I mean I’ve never wanted to watch something more than this biz I can’t wait to see this I could tell it it was a trip of a lifetime for you based on kind of what you were saying and then your tweet today even like you put that out there I’m like Oh, this meant a lot to him to be to kind of describing it that way on Twitter. Yeah. And it just, you know, obviously it was going to be fun and we’re going to do all these amazing things, but just for it to like naturally take that course and of course like um Tyler Turner like for reaching out and and facilitating all that and like kind of just allowing us to have that experience like it was meant to be and it was it was a life-changing trip and yeah, I’m I’m really looking forward to everyone seeing it and as like as like sad as this is and and me crying at the end and how emotional it is and also like we had to say bye to them and we We each gave him like a, you know, our peeking shirt. Like I was I was sobbing like I can’t, you know me, I’m an emotional guy. I can’t keep it together. And probably didn’t help that I just finished a a bong rip and I really get my feels when I smoked the weed, but I had to do one with Clint cuz he’s the one. It’s his family’s cabin and he did it all and it was kind of like an honor. I’m back off the weed, folks. Don’t worry. Okay. But uh yeah, like I there’s there’s so many laughs along the way. There’s so many twists and turns. Like there’s so many characters we end up meeting. So, um, I hope I didn’t forget anyone along the way who who like helped us and and were a big part of that trip. So, when’s it going to come out, you think? I think that it’s probably going to take uh probably take at least a month, if not like 6 weeks to edit, and then it’ll be a two episode season 1 of Peaking. And, uh, this is going to be the start of something special. And um, we’re I think we’re going to have to go to Dallas for a Pink Whitney event. I would love to go with you guys to to David Babbora’s gym and just kind of create more awareness and no doubt. Yeah. To this um I I want to make sure I say the name one more time of it. It’s uh the adaptive training foundation and uh and what they’re doing is is just [ __ ] amazing, dude. And I can’t imagine the place that these guys are in when those tragedies first happen about lo, you know, losing limbs, losing both your legs and thinking like your life’s never going to be the same to then like turning around where buddy this Tyler Turner, he’s he [ __ ] base jumps, he [ __ ] skydives, he snowboard, like nothing’s holding these guys back after they get with David. And it was um it was magical. So I know I’ve been long-winded, boys. I appreciate you letting me talk about all this and um you know amazing rundown. Yeah. I I love you boys. like the videos that or the pictures and videos you sent us like your smile like you know you’re happy in pictures and you know whenever we’re taking pictures but like your genuine smile on that trip and to hear you give that breakdown and we all know you have the biggest heart in the world and you do anything for anyone and it’s it’s honestly it was like the first time I’ve ever been like oh my god this guy is in such a [ __ ] good place right I wish I like I really wish I was with you although I would never go hiking but I was going to say maybe We get the look. Maybe there’s a there’s a chicklet peeking crossover and we do one of these, Keith. They’ll try to bury us. You’ll do that Blue Hill and around the corner from your house. I do that with the kids once a week. We rip up Blue Hill. So, we we we do feature a micro hike in that Cox Bay which is 15 minutes. So, it’s kind of funny in the midst of doing these massive ones where you just do the small one. Like we were even talking about like Frank’s been doing the Frank walks like let’s get [ __ ] Frank on one of these and Yan’s we’re eventually going to head to the the New England area to do it and New England. Isn’t it called New England? Yeah, it’s just I think you said the New England. It just cracks me up. It made I said the New England area. Oh, okay. Where is their good hike? Like Vermont, New Hampshire. Is there good hiking? They have one in Maine and they have, I believe, one in New Hampshire. And they’re two of the the more challenging and and biggest peaks in the United States. And I believe he said the one in is it called Mount Washington? Yeah, that’s the one in New Hampshire. You see the bumper stickers everywhere. This car climbed Mount Washington. It’s like big deal. Why do you have that bumper sticker on the back? And and I think that like I I get what you’re saying, an I think that some people might be like, well, hiking’s a little boring for me and it’s just not my thing. For me, like I’m just like with our jobs, we’re so much on our phone and in technology and stress and like, you know, flying around TNT, like trying to juggle all these things. Like for me, it just kind of gives me a reset. And for that, you know, that probably 30 to 35 hours, like I have no service. So, it’s just good sometimes to just get away and like, you know, the people trying to reach out to you can’t get to you. And it almost forces you to just kind of be in the moment and live in the in in the present. And, you know, I have a difficulty doing that. and and and that’s what what what hiking provides for me along with, you know, some some some form of workout. So, um yeah, just uh great trip. Yeah, magical week. Appreciate you boys letting me break it down and and appreciate everybody listening letting me break that down. But shout out to David and dude, I love you boys. It’s a it’s a very it’s it’s a you just put on an alltime Oscar worthy trailer. That’s what I’m going to say. A video that just makes makes me want to tune in. So, good video. want to watch the show tomorrow though and not in a month like that that hurts. Can I wrap up a couple things Biz quick? Yeah. And then I was just going to say thank you to Watson Gloves who I don’t know how many new listeners we have. Like they allowed me in the past to do two commercials where they gave us Carl Blanche where we could like say jokes that like typical brands won’t let you drop. So I don’t know how many of you have seen those. And then and I hope they get involved with the podcast with I’ll send you guys these these protein pucks. They’re just like an all naturatural source of of um like uh protein, carbohydrates, and fats. And un they taste unbelievable. And just so happens are called protein puck. And it was this random guy that I met in Scottsdale um at the global ambassador where he’s like, “Hey yo, I saw that fight you were on on on news.” And then he came up and we became buddies. So he owns the company. And so thank you for to those two brands for facilitating that. And uh yeah, that’s all I got. I think one of the most valuable things you did learn on that trip was that the moon rotates around the earth and chat GPT says that uh you learned that in fourth grade on average. So I love that you know that I thought that I know I I knew the sun did or no does the sun rotate around the earth or do we rotate around the sun? I believe we rotate around the sun and [ __ ] I don’t even know if I’m right on that. [ __ ] I I’m just going to shut up on the solar system. We rotate around the sun. I I had that one. [ __ ] Okay. Biz. Teddy Roosevelt. I mean, the first American to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which he received in 1906 for mediating a peace agreement to end the Russia Japanese war. That’s big time. So, big time. I I I I just I can’t wait to check all this stuff out. Um, in the hockey world, Biz, have you have you kind of heard anything? you know what’s going on or are we going to be able to I got a couple thing I got a couple things I want to say cuz I missed the big chatter last week about uh um McDavid all the McDavid like like my opinion is is I want people to stop asking him about signing. I want you to leave him the [ __ ] alone at least till after the Olympics. Leave Conor McDavid alone. He’s got bigger fish to fry. He’s going to win our country a gold medal. So any of you American reporters, when he’s on the road this season, I don’t want to [ __ ] hear you asking about him extending, he’s going to focus on this year, I don’t care if they’re out of a playoff spot by the time the Olympics rolls around. Let him focus on winning a gold medal. And the same goes for all those Crosby rumors. I don’t want to hear I don’t want to hear about it. You invented them. Stop living in the past. I don’t want to hear a [ __ ] thing about Crosby moving on. Paper may is even talking about a little bit. Crosby, leave him alone till after the Olympics. I want them focusing on winning a gold. Enough with all this. I will say the theme going in right now is all the stars around the league, right? McDavid not signed, maybe Crosby on the move, all of a sudden this Capri off rumor slash I don’t really know if it’s a rumor. Uh Bill Garren putting out that fire. Uh we all know that Quinn Hughes is it’s it’s a that’s a ticking that’s a ticking time bomb, right? like Quinn Hughes is leaving, right? Uh that one we can get into that that’s an it is all the studs. It’s kind of NBA style and I absolutely love it. The big dogs are in the news. And in fairness in fairness, these guys, a lot of them like they’re they haven’t even done or or said anything. Like Quinn Hughes has asked about playing with his brother. Like that’s the been the most overblown thing ever. McDavid just hasn’t signed a contract. Capri off hasn’t signed a contract either. They’re in the news, but they really haven’t done anything to No, no. Time out. Quinn Hughes is American. Like they’re doing bad things. Quinn Hughes is American, so I’m going to be talking about that every Okay, we’re going straight Olympic. He You were in Canada in the woods and you’ve just found this new national pride that’s just taking over your taking over your like fandom within the NHL. You’re just all based on Canada winning a gold until after the Olympics. You know, you know Theodore Roosevelt was American, right? Doesn’t mean I don’t respect what he did as a president. You also know that that has nothing to do with it. You also know that I know he’s I know he’s going to be disappointed with you guys not winning the gold, but No, it sounds like you’re wor It sounds like you’re worried about the Americans cuz you want everyone to leave your Canadians alone and then bring the heat on our Americans. Yeah. You’re trying to slow us down. No, I don’t I don’t need to bring the heat. They’re bringing it on themselves. We got [ __ ] Lane Hudson’s old man talking about trying to move over to Canada. Like this is bringing it on themselves. You guys are self-destructing before the He’s not on the team. He’s not on You’re bringing up the American media with McDavid. Yeah, that that they’re they’re the problem when this gets out of hand when he’s asked every day. Although he’s going to say, “I’m not answering any questions once the season starts if he hasn’t signed.” But Biz, the the Crosby rumors, we’re dropping an unreal interview with Tyson Barry. It’s great. In that interview, you you bring up the Crosby rumors. So, this is a new post peak in season 1 biz. This was this we did this interview like 10 days ago. That’s living in the past and I’m no longer there. Okay. I just said that this hike reset me on living in the present and that’s what we’re going to do. We’re not going to live in the past. Okay. I’m learning. I’m adapting. I’m going to read. I’m going to read more. So, a lot of new things around here. Lifechanging trip. No more drama. Cross to the halves. Halves or the abs? I don’t want to talk about that. You almost got us close. We all know. We all know what’s going to happen cuz I’ve been saying it for years, but we’re not talking about it until it does. So, if it happens, do you not get the credit? No, Keith. We get to talk about it and he’s going to sit there and listen. He’s going to at one point he won’t be able to not say what’s on his mind. So, don’t worry. It’ll be in the news. I mean, it is crazy that it is somewhat being discussed, biz, because when Bran comes out and and here’s the quotes. Uh, Bran made headlines this week suggesting Crosby could actually be traded. It’s always a possibility. You know, it’s been three years, they haven’t made the playoffs. It all depends on how Sid is going to be and how the team is going to do. Brassant said Crosby’s under contract. So, yeah, it’s one of those things. That’s the hard part about it. So I for him to he would I don’t think he would say that without talking to Sid first, right? Like it’s almost in my mind like he might be the one that’s like speaking for him where Sid’s telling him I’m not like Sid. Wait, Sid came out today and said that he did not speak with Pat Bersan before he made that statement. Wow. That’s that’s just what Sid said. That actually came out today. I missed that. I mean, if they’re if they’re horrible, I respect the hell out of him if he wants to stay there. I think every hockey fan would feel a little robbed. So, you know, I’m not him. I’m just like giving would any any hockey fan other than Penguins fans not be absolutely fired up to see him on another team that’s competing for the Stanley Cup and has a chance to go on a run in the playoffs. I I don’t think so. I think of it as the Ray Bour situation even though Sid’s already won a cup. But yeah. Yeah. It’s one of those things everyone I think everyone in Pittsburgh would be rooting for him just cuz he’s he’s earned whatever he wants to do. if he wants to stay, good on him. Like playing for one team your whole career would be incredible. And you know, to do it the way he did it as well. But if he wanted to go somewhere else, he has all the rights to do that. And I think it would be amazing. Like imagine him going to a team that’s like not even like the number one team, a team that’s fighting to get in. He gets them in. Like him in playoffs just mucking it up. Like it would be amazing. So it it’s it’s similar to Brady, but even in in a better way for Sid that that was just like the team was like, “Hey, you know, they they lowballed him, right? And then he’s it finally ended. All the stuff you’ve heard, Bellich, Craft, Brady, the contracts, he goes and wins.” And every Patriots fan was still rooting for him. Sids would almost be like, “I I think everyone would understand. I just I just want to get one more cup. I’ve done. We’ve done everything we possibly could have done in in in these 20 years. But as I prefaced it, if that guy is like, I just want to be a Penguin my entire career. I want to chase all the records. I I he already has a statue. Then I I would respect it. I would respect him for it. But for Biz to think this isn’t going to be like a story. I mean, it’s probably one of the craziest things you’ve ever heard. And if you do live in the present, it’s presently a story. So, no no comment. Our our focus is on Milan. Okay. I All right. I can’t wait for these Olympics. Are we going? By the way, 100 I would go 100%. Like 1,000% I would go there. I wouldn’t be shocked if Team Canada flew me on their plane. I I think I might be going over with the team. I think they’re going to probably add me to the coaching staff. [ __ ] I mean, I’m pretty tight with talking. I’ll fly underneath the [ __ ] plane. Just give me like a tranquilizer pill or whatever the [ __ ] they do. You have that already? Give me a couple Xanax or what? Is that what they use to to to sleep on, you know, Xanax? Is that what they use? Biz, do you think do you think C uh Malcin and Latang would be pissed at him or no? But my focus is on Milan. [ __ ] I tried to get him. Um, okay. So, Russia’s not in the Olympics, but Carell Capriovv’s in the news biz. You mentioned him. Apparently, he turned down what would have been the richest contract in NHL history. 8 years times 16 million. Then reports came out that that he knows there’s teams that are willing to go 1920 million a year. [Music] He’s got the other side of it where the owner and I believe when the owner originally had these comments about we will we blank check. I think we might have said at the time like oh I mean this I mean this nobody has it better than Capriov. So, if he’s been saying that, I’m not that shocked he said no to that deal. The cap’s going. I also and and this is like it’s not a it’s not like a knock. I do feel like I feel like the new wave of NHL superstar, they kind of want to play in the big smoke more. Like they want like Hey, there was that photo that came out. He was hanging out with uh Shurkin in New York. That that picture was a basketball. Oh, that was a fake photo. I got I got duped. I don’t think it was fake. I just think it was from like two three years ago from May of 2023. Yeah. Okay. So, that was sent to the group chat and like then I was on my hike. So, I kind of maybe didn’t get the text that that was an old photo. So, somebody was trying to stir it up online being like, “Oh, he’s playing tummy sticks with the R rangers. This is tampering.” blah blah blah blah blah. I would just I would just assume that some of these guys like want to play in in bigger markets. Now I I Billy Garren said that that’s it’s not true and that it got out and that they didn’t offer him that contract. Like that’s basically what Billy G said, right? Like this is not true. I just think it’s common knowledge that whatever the 20% or the max is a player could sign for for eight years that is being offered to him. Like they are begging him to sign that right now. So whether they did it when people speculated it or it was 4 months ago it’s that’s happened. Like he has been offered that and he hasn’t currently signed that. I also think that I think that there’s so many superstars coming up in free agency and all of a sudden the cap is jumping the way that it’s jumping. It’s just created a whole another mess for some of these teams to try to be like ah no one and and player I don’t think a player wants to be the first to go. So that’s also what’s being talked about is is these other the basically these guys are waiting for the first domino to fall and then it’ll just set the precedent and then boom over that over that over that. So you I mean you you could go under it a little bit depending on the player but if you go first and all of a sudden like guys that that you’re you’re in your own mind saying I’m as good as this guy like I deserve what he’s making and he’s making two three million more. You’re like, now that goes back to the argument of like how many hundred the Merles, how many hundreds of millions do you need? You know, like if you did if he if he really likes Minnesota, like I don’t think Wild fans should be panicking. I I think that he’s probably just going to maybe be say, “All right, so if he if he likes Minnesota, he’s just going to go back to them and say like, give me this.” So, let me ask you this. Is and they have to now given the fact that he’s got one year left on his deal. Same thing with McDavid. Can like what at what point do they have to wait till does it have to be after July 1st to where that new that new money hits as far as what the cap is to or based on the fact that they the deal wouldn’t start till next year. They can still give them that amount now cuz at a certain point like let’s say currently that the most that you could make as an individual player on a team because you’re capped at I believe 20%. Let’s say right now that 20% based on the cap is like somewhere in that 16 to 18 range. I don’t know what the exact number is, but once July 1st hits, is that when now they can offer them whatever that new cap number will be or could they sign that right now because that deal wouldn’t kick in till next year anyway? Or do they say you could sign a percentage of what the cap is next year right now? Like I I see what that’s what you’re asking, right? Yeah. Is is is also that maybe why like remember Elliot Freeman would probably have this researched and know it. I haven’t really gone through the collective bargaining agreement. You know, maybe I should catch up on my reading with that instead of [ __ ] about Teddy Roosevelt first, but I don’t like at what point does that number hit? And if if these guys have to wait till next summer in order to finally get that three4 million jump, that’s it’s worth the wait, man. Because wouldn’t wouldn’t they just say that though? No, because hockey players hockey players aren’t like that. It’s the same reason why part of the reason they might be waiting for that first domino to fall is so they’re not being labeled as greedy for taking that 18 19% of what the cap is, right? So if McDavid is waiting for Capri off to to that domino to fall and let’s say Capri off which I heard the same thing you guys like there’s I heard there’s a few teams and I I think Caprioff’s chasing the absolute top dollar and McDavid might not be that guy where he does leave a little a little crumb extra for the rest of the guys as opposed to taking that full 20%. But like if Capri off takes it, McDavid doesn’t look as bad taking it cuz like nobody would everyone’s going to be like, “Fuck, he’s [ __ ] the same as Capri off. What a hometown discount that team’s getting.” So part of it is waiting for that number to be larger and and also part of it is I believe public perception. But this is the last thing I will say about McDavid given the fact that it is Canada related. We all know what’s going to happen. He’s going to play out the year and then he’s coming to the Toronto Maple Leaf. But we’re not talking about it anymore. Okay. None. We’re done. I saw Marner uh was playing in the Vegas. I don’t know. It was the Golden Knights, maybe their sponsor golf event when the players always play. And he had a sick move on him. Nice swing. And I honestly I just figured like they’re out every year early. Like no wonder he’s got a great swing. is who you know Mner who? MNER. Mner cuz you know who he played for past couple years? Toronto. I you know what I I I was hard on Mner and I’m like honestly my I’m just happy that Why are you laughing? I’m just genuinely happy he’s out of that circus for himself for his own sake. I think that that he didn’t help his own situation where the like the money that he commanded out of his entry level and if he would have signed for a million and a half less but they offered it to him. What that money like he didn’t like they offered him that contract. How do you say no? I’m saying originally I’m saying like I’m happy he’s out of Toronto. It sucks what he dealt with [ __ ] being there but I’m happy that he’s gone. But yes, going back to his golf swing, I’m sure it’s great. He’s hanging out in Mscoa [ __ ] in and you know, he’s there by the beginning of June cuz he ain’t playing. He’s [ __ ] there middle of May for crying out loud. Biz, um, are there any uh big deal selects? Is there any news in that world? Um, we’re going to keep things internal right now for right now. I did hear that one of the Boston Stranglers who was invited to the tournament asked if Chicklets could fly his girlfriend in for the tournament as well. Now, I don’t know exactly where the Boston Strangers focus are is coming into this ball hockey tournament, but I’ll tell you this. If one of our players thought about flying in his girl during these very intense two days of ball hockey, I don’t think he’d be seeing the ball hockey court. Now, that’s the difference between you and I know what my players need. I know some guys, you know, might need their old lady in town to not go out at night. Like Terry Ryan could probably use an old lady in town. And Terry Ryan Ryan Senior could probably use an old lady in town. I’m sure he’s got a I’m sure Terry Ryan’s got a few. Yeah. So, but he ain’t he ain’t flying them in. Well, hey, you you manage your team like you do and keep losing first round like the [ __ ] Leafs and your golf swing will be like Marner soon enough. But yeah, it’s it’s whatever my team wants. And I think it’s unfair that you uh wouldn’t pay for them seeing that your whole team is getting flown in. But um it’s all right. It’s fine. I’ll pay for it. Wow. Okay. Interesting. Very true. Keith, wait. You’re You’re okay with that? I feel like we’re talking time out. I think that this is hypocritical cuz if you found out one of my players was trying to fly in their girl, I think I would be getting scalded. So, I feel like this is an absolute double standard. I don’t I don’t think I’d say a word about that guy getting away with his wife. Maybe they have kids and you know, I’m going to play this ball hog tour. I’m going go to a great city in Boston and catch a catch a game, go on a duck tour, you know, and and you get to watch me do something I love. And it’s like it’s kind of one of those family things, B. I don’t know if you know, but they fly in they fly in the wives when the team can win the Stanley Cup. They fly in the families. And it’s it’s interesting for me to to hear you be like, “Yeah, we’re just the boys [ __ ] getting after it in Boston. Yeah, we lose every year, but we party hard.” And there’s another team that’s like, I want my family around when I get a a title in a beautiful city against a complete clown, Paul Besonette. Well said, right. I I I really really think you guys would be singing a different tune if this role was reversed, but I guess go with whatever go with whatever narrative you want. Yeah, I know where our focus is at and the big deal selects are all business. Uh Con man, who I was very critical of last year. I’ll give you guys a little update. He’s running every [ __ ] day. Con man’s in the best shape of his life. And when that’s the case, he’s gonna be [ __ ] sniping game in game out. And we got our first line superstar back. And I thought he was a D man. No offense. He’s a He’s a forward nifty. He’s a cherry picker. Cherry big redhead. No, that’s Pender. Pender’s got bigender. You haven’t even been studying. What? You haven’t been watching game tape? Your your games aren’t [ __ ] even televised because you guys are in the losers bracket every year. Chicklets doesn’t even drop you guys. It’s Merles’s team versus [ __ ] Patrick Sharp. Beat it. Uh, hey, Spit and Chicklets YouTube channel. Over 400,000. Go watch some game tape. It’s on the vlog. Is that what we’re at now, Biz? 400,000. Oh, we’re over 400k, bro. Hey, we’re on tile, too, Biz, which is huge. What? We’re on tile, too. It’s not cement. What? We got the quartz. Yep. That’s that that’s all of them have quartz this year. No. So, uh, Roller A and Street A will have uh MS3 surface, which you got to give a shout out to Bobby Hower, member of the Big Deal Selects. His family owns the company. He said, “No more.” He said, “We’re bringing in the Big Deal Selects need a nice surface, so we’re bringing in some surface.” That was the only chance. I’ve been hearing about this surface since the beginning of time with this tournament and they’ve all said all the big deal select said if we ever had a good surface we would be drumming everyone. So we’re going to run the table now that was that with Yan’s team we they would have wanted to play in a gravel pit. We could uh we could use this guy in net for one of the teams. I I would take him for sure with Mark Andre Flurry. I don’t know if you saw Did you see the picture that was sent to the group chapters of all Yeah. him in his three rings with the robe on and the trophy. Yeah, he just he signed a PTO with the Pens. I love that. I love that move. That’s an old school move back in the day. Thinking of an old baseball player signing a one-day contract. Actually, Rizzo did it, too. Did you see that, Keith? Did you see almost catch the ball? That would have been the most insane on a on a Anthony Rizzo day. He goes to the bleachers to drink a beer and a home run comes directly. It hit him in the hand. I I he caught that. But he bought the entire stadium a beer. Seriously? Yeah. I saw I I saw something like they were people were giving out tickets. I don’t know. It was the entire stadium. That’s thanks to Bob does sports cuz all the money that we took off from that day playing golf. So Bob paid for those beers. Uh unre if he had caught that would have been unbelievable. Like but did you see one thing I saw? He had all the people in the stand sign his jersey that he has. Like that was cool. like you could tell he just really loved being a part of that team. Yeah. Baseball would be in my opinion the the most fun pro sport to play as far as I want to say they don’t have pressure cuz you got to [ __ ] get up there and you got to hit the ball but just that like the downtime not as strenuous on the body uh laidback. You’re always in the clubhouse with the boys. You’re you’re in each city for 4 days. You’re not just in and out. So that would be that would be an absolute blast. And you’ve hung out with him yet. He just seems like the best guy. He kind of like looks like a little bit like Brooks Kepka to me. Like Yeah. Doesn’t he? Yeah, he does. Yeah. But uh what like what’s the funniest thing about him? Like what’s like on the golf course? Is he a chirper? Not really. He’s pretty quiet. Yeah. Just stand. I mean he’s just like any other athlete. He’s chirping. He’s saying, you know, he hits a good shot. He’s like, “Yeah, you know, like come on. I played in the bigs for 15 years. Like you got to expect things like But yeah, no, he’s very humble, laid-back guy. He was actually he was my neighbor down here for a while, so I’ve known him for a bit. He was telling a funny story. Like I had a boat and I know nothing about boats. Like I had never even been on a boat before I bought it. And one day I apparently I was on the lift and he was like out in his backyard watching me cuz I told him I’m like, “Yeah, I’m getting a boat. I know nothing about him.” All of a sudden the boat was still on the lift, but I had the engine on and I’m revving the engine. He’s like, “What the [ __ ] is this kid?” He was like, “Me and my wife stood out there for like 15 minutes laughing at you and hoping you didn’t die.” I’m like, “Yeah, it’s not not good.” You could have yelled out like, “Dude, dude, you’re you’re still in the He had a 90ft boat at his house. He just like let me [ __ ] almost die. At least you put the plug in.” There was um there was a brand new a brand new yacht I saw like on social media. It was stunning. looked like it was probably like a hundred foot yacht, you know, couple decks and then they put it in and it [ __ ] sinks. It I guess it’s a common thing where people forget to put the plug in on a new boat and it gets put in the water and it sinks to the bottom. Did you see the way it fell? It was just like Oh, okay. So, you saw the video, too, right? So sad. That’s like a What do you think? 20 I would probably say like like 30 40 million. Yeah. Maybe a little cheaper actually. Maybe I was exaggerating. I think that Bill Gates just sold his yacht to a waste management guy. Stunning boat. Like this. This thing is Yeah, that’s different level. That’s different level. I think I think you’re looking at like 300 million 400 million for something like that. Maybe a little cheaper it being used, but that is just 300 million. Oh yeah. The big boy ones like Bezos and Yeah. Yeah. Zuckerberg and all those guys just hoarding money, [ __ ] building their bunkers in Hawaii. Um, going back to Flower though, why are you laughing? No, it’s just I just didn’t I I actually my buddy sent me this list of of people with bunkers that are hoarding money. Wait, is Flower signing a PTO to try out for the team or just a one-day contract to retire as a Penguin? going going back to that. It would be cool to see more guys do this like so he’s going to play in an exhibition game for the Penguins. So not only do you get to like sell out an exhibition game, no pressure, it’s for fun, it doesn’t mean anything. And he gets to play his last game technically as a Penguin like like Henrik Lungquist for instance, he he can play in these um alumni games and stuff like that. I think he would be healthy enough to at least play in an exhibition game or if not a period. It would be cool to see him get to play another game for the Rangers. So, retired. What’s that? Is he Is he like officially retired? Wouldn’t you have to Yeah, but I I Are you saying just for fun? Yeah. But well, basically what I’m saying is like it probably like could technically happen, but given the circumstance, I don’t know if anything like this in this idea has ever happened before. So I think that this is going to like create like a new thing where um what’s another example? Like I also think Flower has a type of personality where he’s like, “Oh yeah, I’ll play an exhibition game.” And you have to have that. He’s going to have a shut out. You know, he will. How sick would it be to be a kid who gets like his one exhibition game like that? That that that game’s going to pack. It’s going to be unreal. Sid will play. Maybe I might ask him if I could play so I can retire. Maybe I retire. I was going to say maybe you’re one of those guys when when Arizona gets a team someday they bring you back. You play an exhibition game and and Yeah. And until then, what if they brought me, you, Army, and Merles back just to play in that game? Just all the oldtimers. Let’s get Andre Wah in the mix so at least the locker room will be lit. You guys should just show up to Flowers game and be like, “Hey, we’re all playing, right?” Like tying your ski. Hey, how speaking of crowds, how about the crowds at the Montreal Canadian rookie games? Oh, yeah. Well, the demodov just he put on a show. I actually I I was kind of surprised he was even in that. I was too actually. Maybe he guys who played decent amount of games are playing in that still. Like I saw Renzel in Chicago made some sick play. Gave gave somebody assists against St. Louis. These are just clips I saw online. Um uh who else? There was somebody else. But the Demodv one first. He’s behind the net. He does like that’s like the 12-year-old move. And then the goal he scored. Lane Hudson sitting there watching kind of shaking his head. And it looked like it was a playoff game. That’s how it sounded when the horn went off after the goal. Insane. Kind of made me fired up for for camp. Get going here. Um, Pis, do you know who Ken Rosenthal is? Yeah, I saw that um in the outline and I didn’t know much about him until I saw the clip. Obviously, not the best look um in and a tough moment for him, but yeah, like it he Yeah. Do you want to explain what happened? And let’s hear your comments on it. No, I I just I I’ve watched it a hundred times. It’s like so funny how mad he is. He’s getting ready to interview somebody on the Brewers who’s he sees coming from teammates coming from behind ready to just like pour water on him. So Ken goes flying back. He’s got this suit on, this bow ties, and he buries a cameraman. I got to think that almost every person that I know, if they bury a cameraman and turn around, the guy’s laying down with this poor camera laying over his face, you’d be like, “Oh, I’m so sorry.” This Ken Rosenthal looked at this guy like he just dunked on him with no time left to win the NBA title. Like the biggest staredown, [ __ ] you. Who the [ __ ] are you? The face. I thought he was gonna give him the Rodman. Can we just kick him? The face was actually like he in his head he might have been like I want a Rodman this guy and just a clip like such a good internet clip this guy and and he’s he’s getting smoked for this. Apparently he I I watched the video so not apparently he came out and said he apologized like profusely after and you know whatever. It was just like kind of tough timing and then the responses said I believe he got the guy’s name wrong who he was apologizing to. So yeah. Yeah. Right away I saw that part. I’m like oh god. That’s why you got to check the notes like biz when you’re thanking people. Yeah. If you have 14 [ __ ] internet tabs open to remember names. The video. Was he known as like a mean guy or like a not pleasant guy? I knew he was a baseball insider type, you know, and and then I just the responses to this like everyone kind of that’s Iverson over Terron Lou. Look at the guy’s feet in the air. Look at the guy’s feet in the air. That picture the feet in the air is unreal. And it’s almost like a king is walking through the streets like Game of Thrones and like somebody like looked at him wrong. And you know who would have done that? Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt. He would have [ __ ] great gave He would have gave him the shirt off his back. Hand out. You conduct the interview, sir. Talking about the United States. I love I love hearing that. It’s in your head. Our former president. I I I don’t really have much else for you guys. I don’t know. Anything else on your mind, BZ? The NFL this week. Did you see anything? The NFL has been phenomenal the first two weeks. Even the bad games are good. Like the Patriots Miami game was like entertaining at least like it was entertaining. Actually, I know what we’ll do. I know what we’ll do. We’ll throw it to Tyson Barry. Ask you one question. Let’s throw to Tyson Barry and we’ll do it at the end. Yeah, let’s talk about some other stuff after when we get out. Okay, perfect. Tyson Barry, guys, I’ll tell you, I think at the beginning of the interview, he forgot he retired, you know, a little a little more on the serious side and then all of a sudden this interview got incredible. Biz Biz had a masterclass of question asking. So what do you got? Well, the he’s so respectful of of all these superstars that he’s played with. He is such a likable guy. Like he’s the guy that like like you know Didle wants him at his wedding. McDavid wants him at his wedding. Mner wants him around like like Matthews like he is just like he’s the facilitator where after the game he’s probably the guy who got the trainer to drop off some beers for the boys. So, I think that he his concern is is not only does he want to make sure he respects the game, but also he doesn’t want to like sue his buddies by maybe telling a story that he shouldn’t be telling, but I think that quickly he will become a media darling um in the second part of his hockey career because I believe and I he he will be doing media this year. I don’t want to spoil it as far as who he’s going to be doing it for, but he’s an unbelievable guy. Unbelievable to hang out with and and share beers with, and I’m really happy that he towards the end of the interview, we got him to open up. So, um, Oak Bay legend, Victoria legend, Tyson Barry.

[Music] We are now joined by a special guest, been on the pod before. We got to give him a bunch of clicks here. Recently retired water Tyson Barry. What’s going on, buddy? Oh, thanks guys. Appreciate the clicks. Uh, thanks for having me again. It’s my third time. So, uh, appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules, Biz. I know you’re the busiest guy in the world right now, so I appreciate it. A little bit more of an emotional appearance on Spit and Chicklets. I got a chance to talk to you talk to you last night. A few posts on Instagram as well, just kind of thanking teammates and uh, I mean, hell [ __ ] tell you, what a run, man. Unbelievable career, man. And just how are you feeling? Like, obviously, it’s probably been a few emotional weeks for you. Yeah. Uh yeah, it’s been I didn’t I kind of came to the decision a while ago and then uh the NHL kind of uh dropped it on me. I didn’t really know. Uh I was definitely going to retire, but I woke up to about 30 texts after I played in ABS alumni game, which I guess is a dead giveaway. Um yeah, the uh the NHL Instagrammed it and I uh I had to pull things together pretty quickly and um but yeah, it was uh it was planned for a while. Um but a lot of emotions still and not like sad or anything. I’ve I’ve come to terms with it. Just uh you know grateful and you know I look back it’s like kind of uh joyous emotions you know like just what a uh what an experience. Um and then you know try to talk to my parents got a little emotional trying to say thank you kind of for everything and um but yeah like I said not uh not sad just super grateful and um you know kind of a celebration more so. And for you, like you’ve been in an NHL locker room your whole entire life. Like your dad playing and he retired in what 01? You were probably what, 10, 11 years old. Like Yeah, exactly. You’ve been in an NHL locker room since the time you can remember. And now you won’t be for the first time in what 36 years. Like it’s got to be something where you’re like, what’s next for me? But what you gave to the game, especially like you you were an undersized guy for when you came in and now you see more and more undersized Dmen playing the way that you played. Like you got to be so proud of the impact that you left in the game like you know what you meant to the game cuz you know not for guys like you that wouldn’t be the you know the Kell Mars or the Adam Foxes. So congratulations on everything and just wanted to give you that compliment but for you it’s got to be tough to not be in that locker room. Yeah. Uh, thank you, Yans, following in your footsteps, obviously. Um, yeah, I don’t know. I think, like you said, I’ve been in it a long time. And, um, the good news is is I’m good at keeping in touch, and I’ve got a lot of friends who are still playing, so I’ve got a four-year-old son who’s in skating lessons, and I’ll be uh, I’m sure abusing some guys to come down in the locker room after games and kind of give Leo, my son, the same experience I was given. And, um, yeah, I think and it’s so fresh, too, right? I think once uh the season gets going and I’m sitting here on the island and um you know kind of looking around maybe I’ll I’ll start to miss it more. But at this point I’m uh you know excited kind of for the next chapter and whatever that is. You quickly talked about the emotions on the phone with your parents. Your father played pro for I probably at least 15 20 years and you were talking last night when we when we met up for dinner just about the impact he had on your career. How he essentially taught you everything. He was your coach growing up and you know he was a great player himself. So just like how much of an impact did he have on you and and and how emotional did that conversation get? Yeah. I mean if you know my dad, he’s not one for emotions. So uh me and my mom were crying and my dad was sitting in the background making fun of me. Uh but I I imagine he’s he’s due for a good cry solo when no one’s watching. Uh yes, he has been an amazing uh mentor. um coach he coached me all through minor hockey. Uh even you know even when I moved on to junior he he was calling teams on the draft WHL draft tell him I wouldn’t go there cuz he wanted me to land at a good spot landed in Colona get to Colona comes watch me plays my first game I get absolutely piped I don’t get out I don’t play at all I remember walking from Prosper there’s a hotel across the street where we stay and he calls their GM Bruce Hamilton and he goes and I’m terrified I’m like dad no like don’t do this he calls him he goes hey Bruce uh this isn’t what we signed for if you’re gonna play him like this, he’s gonna come play for me and Victoria. I’m like 16. I’m like, “What the hell just happened?” Dad, no. No, no, no, no. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Uh, sure enough, I was never played like that again. So, he always uh he always had my back. Uh, he’s an outrageous human being. Uh, Biz, you’ve spent some time with him. Oh, yeah. He’s off the walls. Off the walls. Heart of gold. Very generous uh with his his energy and time and um also straight not afraid of conflict. straight to violence. So, it’s an interesting combination. I’m very grateful for his guidance through this whole thing. Uh Colona in practice next day. Were you PP1, PK1? Uh first guy on the board written down. He’s coaching. I don’t know. I would they credit credit to the coaches and the GM there. They didn’t uh they didn’t punish me for that. Um I think it worked oddly enough. And um yeah, that was I that was an interesting moment for me at 16 though. So, I definitely had my tail between my legs going to the rink the next day. Yeah. You mentioned you had the cry with your mom and especially with your dad playing like she must have been the one shleing you to ranks left and right. Like a lot of dads get a lot of credit for us making it but you know you look and a lot of the times it’s the moms driving you and you know reading a book in the car or whatever and just being supportive and helpful. I would imagine for you cuz your dad was out playing most of your you know childhood. Yeah. Yeah. My mom’s an angel. Um, all of the stuff you just mentioned and such a sweet uh amazing person and mother. I got a lot from my dad with some of the storytelling and and the the team uh teammate stuff, the camaraderie stuff, but um I like to think I’m a fairly sweet person. And I know that that comes more so from my mom. And um forever grateful for everything she’s done. So uh yeah, dude. I I I was quickly looking over like your stats. Three seasons over 50 points, four others over 40 points, four others over 30 points. Like from the time you came into the league, like a truly elite puck moving defenseman. So I guess looking back on it, like was your goal always being undersized, be a power play, point producing guy? Like what did you look at your NHL career being like? I’m guessing had to be exactly what you kind of saw. Yeah, I think that the only way I was ever going to have a chance is to kind of be the guy that could produce. Uh I thought I was I thought I was very well well-rounded in junior and I could, you know, do it all. Uh quickly found out that maybe wasn’t the case and I was maybe more of a one-dimensional guy. Uh at least I was labeled as that. I I don’t think I was as bad defensively as some people uh would tell me I was. But um yeah, I think you know I was fairly dynamic in junior and then I just tried to carry that into pro and um had some success in the minors and then uh struggled out of the gate in Colorado and um and then really just found it. Uh my D coach yelled at me. It was I was I was I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to play in the NHL. My D coach uh Prder, he goes uh that was Savan Lefave. He goes, “Sh, are you ever going to [ __ ] do something?” And I was like, I’m like, “I don’t know.” I went out the next shift, snapped the pass to Stas, like he went down, scored, tied it up, OT, came around the net, found me in the slot, OT winner. And then from there, it was kind of like I had like I don’t know 38 points in like 35 games or something. And like I was like, “Oh, thank God. Thank God.” My dad’s gonna call you. Yeah. I just needed a call out. I was like, “Oh, this could be bad.” [ __ ] man. That was that was I mean, that had to be fun in Colorado, dude. Like, your first full year as McKinnon’s rookie. I know you guys are very tight. Like, to see what they’ve, you know, ended up what he’s become. And for a place to start in the league, I I I would love to be a rookie in Colorado. Great city, great fans. Like, that must be probably your fondest memories, I’m guessing. Yeah, certainly. Certainly lots of them to go into Colorado. Uh, great organization and I was just, you know, I was 17 when I got to camp there and um, you know, Paul Stazzney was there, David Jones, Ryan O’Burn, Shane O’Brien, couple wagons, they took me under their wing and, you know, they showed me a good time, maybe too much of a good time early on and, uh, when Nate got there, we we still had a good time and then we had to dial it in a little bit and we started to turn a corner and become a good hockey team and um, that was a lot of fun and uh, you know, Colorado is like a second home to me. So, uh, still really enjoy getting back there and like you said, some of my fondest memories and and getting to see them win a cup. Um, without me, that’s fine. I feel like I was a big piece of that. You know, I got him Nause in the trade who was a big piece of that cup. Um, yeah, it’s it’s awesome to see kind of Nate and, uh, the way he’s grown and developed and, um, you know, he’s turned into a hell of a guy and a hell of a player and um, yeah, really proud of him. You kind of joked around, but for like as soon as he got in there, things had to get turned around. Like he was that intense that young where you guys are like, “Okay, we got to pick our socks up here a little bit.” Yeah. I I don’t know if it was that. He was definitely intense. He’s never been afraid to, you know, you can see the way he plays. He’s intense with the other team. He’s intense with his own teammates. He’ll he’ll yell at his own coach. He’s he’s driving to win. So, uh it wasn’t an immediate, you know, nobody just bowed down to him. There was some friction. Um but you know now he’s he’s turned himself into you know on any given night the best player in the world and um guys follow him. So it’s uh it’s a hell of a piece to have on your team. Who were some of the the older guys when you know your first couple years cuz to make it in the NHL you have to have guys that help you out when you’re young, show you the ropes. Uh like who were some of those guys that you would give that credit to? Yeah. Uh Paul Stazzy was awesome. Um Rhino he’s unreal. Yeah, Staz is great. So, he was uh I stayed at his place early in my career. He was awesome. Ryan O’Burn was another island guy. Uh he got traded there from Montreal when I got there and he planted me next to him on the plane and you know, I was always invited for dinners and beers and and the whole thing. So, I kind of was able to see how guys operated and um learn a lot early. Uh so, yeah. And then we had guys like Shane O’Brien was just hilarious. He was my there a little bit. He but he had the room just giggling the whole time. Um yeah, those are kind of some of the guys that um you know I cut my teeth with early on. I mean this could be a question for all three of you like where do you gain that like that confidence in that offensive switch and even if you know you you you throw a pizza here, throw a pizza there, just kind of doesn’t matter, you’re going to keep trying to make those types of plays. Like was that something that was instilled in you in Colona? Was that your father just being like, “Hey, [ __ ] erase it from your memory. Keep going.” Like, where do you gain that that switch in your brain to to possess that offensive skill? Uh, you know what? Maybe just I think a lot of success in minor hockey and then junior kind of builds you up to and the hard work, right? Like, you know, I was putting in the work when I was young and I I knew I was good and um I knew I could make the plays I was trying to make. Sometimes I threw massive pizzas, but you know, credit to the coaches, they’d throw me right back out there. They’d tap me like, “Hey, good try.” Or, um, sometimes it got away from me a little bit and they’d be like, “Hey, that’s that’s enough.” Uh, I remember World Junior camp, I went in, I won rookie or the defenseman of the year, so I was like kind of like supposed to make the team. I went in and laid one of the biggest eggs you’ve ever seen at camp. I was throwing backhand pizzas all over the place. It was out of control. Thank god I had such a good year going. They kind of just threw me on as the seventh Eman and then ended up having a really good turnney. But um I guess kind of one of the I don’t know. I I went up backhand up the gut pizza. Two shifts later I’m in the same spot. I’m like [ __ ] it. I’m back. You’re a sick puppy. You are one sick puppy. Yeah. Um yeah, I think just believing trusting that your training and your skills are, you know, are where they need to be to to take those risks. I even saw a couple of uh Instagram posts of some of the bad ones you gave. Uh one was to Dry Cidle. You tagged him and I think he had to readjust and ended up buckling and falling back. So yeah, it’s it’s awesome to see all these posts uh to all these guys who meant so much to you. And you know, it’s it’s not ideal getting traded and I’m sure you were devastated when you got traded from Colorado, but you look even beyond the the relationships you had with the Ryan O’Reilly, the Nate McKinnons where you got to play with with Conor McDavid, Leon Didle, um and and so many other talented players. Mike Smith was another guy that you became very very close with. So, as much as it sucked, you must be super grateful that hockey brought you all these amazing places and and created so many amazing friendships. Oh, man. That’s uh that’s that’s a great point. Like when I look back, I would have loved to have stayed in Colorado and, you know, been the guy that was there. Obviously, not in the cards with Kale coming in and just kind of punting me. Um but but yeah, like super grateful I got to go play in Toronto with uh Big Tony and Mars and Mo and um Justin Hall and you know, these are these are friends for life for me. And then I get to, you know, things go terribly there and I get to move on and I go join the Oilers and you know, again, lifelong friends with uh I get to re rejoin Calvin Pickard and uh meet Leon and Cody Cece and Davo and um NG. Yeah, so many guys. Uh yeah, it’s if I never got moved, you know, you don’t meet all these guys and go to Nashville and get to play with Factor again and Chenner and Ryan Mcdana and yeah, these are just it’s it’s cool to be able to look back and I wouldn’t have had those opportunities had I stayed in one spot. So, um I’m a social guy. I love making friends and um very very grateful that I got shipped around a lot because uh got to meet a lot of really cool people. And you wouldn’t be able to attend all these amazing weddings in the summer. Oh yeah. Did you go to Leon’s? DMZ that looked I when that picture came out with him with the cigarette, I was like, I got my background for my phone this season. Like this is perfect. I would have loved to have been at that wedding. No, that was that was honestly such a great wedding. Uh the leadup to the welcome party. We golfed a day and then the actual wedding was a heater. Like it was so sick. Just we you know welcome them in after the ceremony. They come dancing in and then like they had this crazy uh quartet I guess, but then also like all these talented singers. They brought everybody onto the dance floor like before dinner. Everything. It was a full shaker on the dance floor like intermittently throughout the night. It was uh it was so well done and so much fun and so many great people there. A lot of just absolute donkeys were [ __ ] putting on some shows. So it was so good. Was it open bar? It’s a cash bar. They’re announcing in German and English. He [ __ ] gave you oil. There’s a deal. It should be a [ __ ] cash bar. I sure did. Yeah. Cats paid for it. Yeah. Who gave the best man speech? Uh that was one of his like childhood buddies from Germany. Um seems like a great cat. Uh yeah. Don’t know, but he seems understand a word he said. It was in German. Like he loves pints. So good for me. All of them do in Germany. Oh, speaking of pints, dude. So, if you see the jersey behind Biz and the the beer that uh Bears is having, the beer Chili Ones is all over the place now. So, I I need to hear about the start of it, like what your plans are moving forward. We had him at the Gretzky basement uh one of the outdoor games. Phenomenal. So, I’m wondering like where did this all begin? I know where it began. It was order some. It’s sold out. Oh, yeah. Yeah, don’t worry. We’re getting a refresh going on the website there. But it was the only thing that would calm down Nate after a game where he wasn’t happy. Exactly. Right. That’s how the whole thing began. We had to we had to bring him down a little bit. So, we just fire him a chilly one. Calm the nerves a little bit. Um Yeah. I just put it in my notes like probably three years ago. Uh in Colorado, we called beers chili ones. Uh Cody Mloud, which scream chili ones at guys. Um got to Edmonton, it got like a life of its own. We were just like yelling like Cass and Smitty and Enzo. We were just screaming like Chili Ones postgame, all this dumb [ __ ] So I wrote it in my notes like I’d love to do a beer one day called Chili Ones. And then about a year later, a guy in the beverage industry reached out and was like, “Hey, would you buddies want to do a beverage?” And I was like, “Yeah.” Oddly enough, I told him about it. I called Enzo Smitty Factor Shanner and I was like, “Uh, am I nuts or should I do a beard called Chili Ones?” And they were like immediately, “Fuck yeah. what do you need? Uh so that’s kind of how it started. We’ve got um I think like 18 active and former players uh in on it and some really cool people from the music world and just you know good friends of mine. It’s just uh started as something really fun but has turned into something that I love and is kind of a viable business. So we’re uh we’re running with it. How fun is Tyler Tyler Andis? Speaking of weddings and Tyler Andis that guy should be at every single wedding. I never did. I just happened to be at a wedding with him. I don’t even know where the [ __ ] it was. Oh, it was Mark’s wedding. It was Mark Pissik’s wedding, dude. He was the funniest guy I’ve ever met. Like, what a guy. So, he’s in on it with you, too. Anyone else like uh that we would know? Yeah. Yeah. There’s a couple uh big dogs who are silent investors who we can’t. What do you mean? Fine. Bleep out the name and post, G. One’s going to be traded to Colorado. One plays in Colorado. Yeah. Here’s a little clue for you people at home. No, no, no. We uh but yeah, we’ve got uh a bunch of really great people. Nate being one of them. Um Ryan O’Reilly, Mike Smith, Ryan Mcdana, Phil Forsber, Tyler Myers, Jared Spurgeon. Um I mean there’s there’s I think there’s 18, so I I’d be You can make a hell of an alumni team when everyone’s done playing with that squad. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we we’ll talk. Um yeah, just honestly and it for me it’s nice like I’m kind of obviously wrapping up my career here and to have something to focus on that um involves a bunch of my best friends and we get to do kind of stupid [ __ ] and have fun with it is it’s kind of been a blessing for me. So um yeah, I love it. Um beer meetings are the best. You start with a beer or you end with a beer and everyone’s generally happy. So it’s like it’s a completely different program but um I I feel like I was kind of built for it. Bes besides the besides the beer company, like what what what do you think’s next year? I know it’s, you know, all fresh and new, but you know, for me it’s like you got to be a part of the game at some like some aspect. Yeah, I think I’m going to look into a couple different avenues and um B is Biz has been helping me a little bit, walking me through some of his vast media knowledge. He’s starting a podcast with Nate and Sid. We’re [ __ ] [ __ ] We’re [ __ ] boys. The avalanche, boys. No, no, just name the bench. Can I work delivering chili ones, buddy? We’ll hire you any day. Um, yeah, I’m going to dip my toe in maybe to media and see how it goes and see if uh if I’m wellreceived and and I like it. U I don’t know exactly where that’ll be, but um I’m I’m not really one to sit still, so I’ll be I’ll be doing something. Soon enough, you’re going to be a crazy hockey dad. I mean, if Leo’s What do you say he is? Four. Four. Yeah. So, yeah. You got like two years might starts and then boom, you’ll be calling it homes and I got to put the pedal down here in the next two years and get this uh this whole beard company wrapped up and Leo needs a little discipline in his life though. He had a tough incident you said a couple days ago. Um yeah, we don’t need to air out we don’t need to air out. Okay, we won’t talk about Leo. Biz will air out anyone. He’ll air out anyone this way. He’s a [ __ ] disturber. He’s a He’s a [ __ ] disturb. We’ll just put it that way. He’s like his grandfather chooses violence. Islands. Where will you spend the the winters? Uh, as of right now, we’re on the island. Uh, me and my wife loved Denver. Um, we’ve chatted about maybe heading back that way, but um see where, like you guys mentioned, see where, you know, post career takes me and, um, we’re no stranger to flipping cities. So, um, we’ll always have a spot here on the island. But, um, I don’t know. Open to anything. Hey, how unreal is the island in Victoria? I tell these guys all the time. I’m trying to drag them out here. Be nice to bring them over to VGC. One of the biggest hidden gems in Canada. No. Yeah. I I I mean, for me, Victoria’s it’s home. It’s especially It’s the only place I’ve ever felt like home. So, um I’m biased, but you catch uh you catch a July summer day here. It’s I don’t know. Hard to beat. We We run a pretty good program out here. We’ll get you out on the boat, hit the links, whatever you need. Is in winter time. Is it like dead? Like like how many restaurants are in Victoria? Yeah. Well, they don’t it’s not like seasonal. They don’t close. There’s a lot of Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um No, everyone stays open year round. It’s like the uh mild most mild climate in Canada. It’s kind of the best we have to offer. Um gets a little gray, a little rainy, but uh not as much as Van or Seattle. So, kind of a sweet spot. Yeah, it’s awesome here. Like will you will you be skiing and stuff like uh obviously not allowed to during the season? Yeah, I can’t wait. I went snowboarding at the end of this year with a good buddy of mine, Mark McMorris. He took me up with all his uh professional snowboarder buddies and I had a [ __ ] blast. I love it up there. I’m going to I’m going to get up there as much as I can. Do you do you guys go into like the chopper and the backcountry skiing? Are you that good? No, I mean I can snowboard. It’s been a long time so I was just kind of getting my feet under me. Uh, but yeah, I would love to do that. I, you know, if if uh if my skill set allows it. I don’t know if you were like I I was like this where I I regret it, but when I was playing in the NHL, it’s kind of like, oh, what not what’s next, but like, oh, we’re playing them next week, this road trip, and I wasn’t great at kind of like appreciating every day. And it hit me right after retirement like, dude, that just felt like seven minutes. Like, I wish I did. Have you have you felt that at all since since officially announcing retirement like oh just went so quick like I or did you at the time appreciate what what was going on in your life? I would say the last year I had in Calgary when I was getting health ruthlessly health bomb I was able to kind of see the writing on the wall that it was coming to an end fairly quickly. So I was trying to enjoy it as much as I could. all the dinners on the road. I was hunting down all the my favorite spots and going for beers and, you know, just doing everything I could, visiting all my friends on the road and um so I tried to tried to soak it in, but yeah, it went quick still. Like I I think about, you know, 10 years ago, a random Yeah, it’s it’s just like 14 years is quick. I remember trying to make the NHL still. So, um yeah, man. I I don’t know. I think uh time slows for no one. So, it’s uh it’s crazy. We we touched on Leon’s wedding. Uh Nate’s was uh this year. Were you the best man at that one? I I was the officient. So, I was uh yeah, I had the pleasure of of uh marrying them, which was a new a new uh tool in my tool belt. But, um Were you nervous? It was fun. Like moderately nervous. I’d done a couple MC’s and some best mans, and those those felt like bigger tasks. So, this felt like kind of straightforward. I I made a couple jokes and then, you know, kind of lance romanced it and got into the love and all that and um yeah, it was it was it was fun actually. Um as far as uh um your relationships with these guys, will you travel to go watch them play still? You think you’ll still go wa watch a lot of hockey, go hang out with the boys? Yeah, 100%. And like I have a son who’s going to get into it, so I mean I imagine if if the guys are in Vancouver, Seattle, um that’ll be fun to take him over and, you know, bring him down after the game and that sort of thing. And uh there’s a couple guys who are already, you know, sending sending schedules, circling dates when I can come and, you know, night before a game beer, that sort of thing. So, it it’s uh I’m looking forward to it. Yeah. A couple chilies. Me and Yans played with one of your your good buddies, Mike Smith, and and how close you became with him. [ __ ] He is a character. It it makes your job a lot easier when you got a guy like that and the way he can play the puck, too. Right, buddy? I was It was insane. You never get hit. Nope. you just go back peel to the corners and then he usually just puts it up the gut like it’s uh playing with Smitty was just all time. I love that man. Um complete wagon in the best way. Another guy the biggest heart. Super uh super sentimental and sweet and kind but also straight to violence. Oh yeah. If you’re looking for one, there’s nobody more willing than the Schmid dog. It’s it’s quite the combo. I think I think he’s arguably the most athletic goalie to ever play the sport to ever play like what he could like he can hit a baseball out of a like throw a football. He is an insane athlete. Yeah. Yeah. And he’s like a built like a Greek god. Just a absolute animal. And his wife’s an Olympic skier is so his kids are going to be the biggest freaks ever. Oh yeah. They’re well on their way. Dude, he is shredded wit. Yeah, cuz him and Bugsy were good buddies and they both ripped. Is he all tatted up, too? No. Yeah, he’s got some tats, doesn’t he? No. Bitty’s got one of the worst tattoos you’ll ever see. Uh, but not a ton of tats. No worse than one big brutal one. He has a Halloween He has a Halloween themed uh pumpkin on his forearm. Is that what he You know, Biz is smart though because he’s got them all blended in. It’s hard to really pick one out, you know? Yeah. They’re so dark. They’re so dark and shitty. You can’t really make them out. Dang. It’s it it’s not ideal, but that’s okay. I’ve seen worse. Did Did you not mind though towards the end that maybe you didn’t have as much responsibility, therefore you were able to be I don’t want to say the jester, but more of the guy organizing, guys having fun and and and going out. I mean, I’m sure I think you were the one to organize uh uh McDavid’s bachelor party, weren’t you? No, not his bachelor party. I would certainly organize it. I organized a few year-end trips and uh that’s Oh, that’s what it was. Yeah, year end trip. Oh, I organized Nate’s Bachelor Party. Yeah. I mean, but I’ve always done that even when I was younger and um maybe to my own detriment. I don’t know. Uh but I’ve always enjoyed that part of it and u keeping it light and having fun. I think I probably learned that from uh Obes early on. But uh yeah, I I was able to, you know, once I started getting health bombed in Nashville, I was playing with Factor again and we had some fun and you know, I wasn’t uh wasn’t a great position to be in, but um surrounded by great people, so made the uh you know, the 30 games straight a little better. I was just going to ask, how many in a row were you scratched? Well, I mean, this year was just it was relentless. I don’t know. I think it went like three months without playing one. It was wild. Yeah. And I I I I’d get a game and then I’ I honestly like maybe I’m [ __ ] delusional, but I thought I played pretty good and then like just right back in the rafters. But um it’s all good. I uh like I said, I’m not a I’m not bitter. I’m not sad. I’m I’m happy. And look back on like, you know, kind of the last 14 years just with like super grateful. Did you ever find yourself in in some predicaments by like maybe like going out the night before where you were late to the rank? like any any fun stories you’re able to share that it’s now all over where uh I think I have one alltime story and I’m still not sure I’m comfortable sharing it but like a come on you’re [ __ ] retired man I’ll tell it you let me reflect on it and then we’ll [ __ ] we’ll air it or we won’t we’ll let you know if it’s too okay yeah so in Nashville I hadn’t played the last month and a half of the season like not a game I’m full health bomb full time like me and Brunelloo Andrew Bernett we call him Brunell we’re like we went for a pint. He’s like, “Sorry, like I hate to be like, you know, kind of doing this, but like it is what it is.” I’m like, “Yeah, like sure, no worries, whatever.” So, we go, we play Vancouver in the playoffs. We roll in. I go for dinner with some friends, whatever. Uh, go back to Nashville for games three and four. Go back to Vancouver for game five. Still not even like don’t play nothing. We come in for games game five or game six, I can’t remember. Must have been game five because it was it was elimination game in van. Um same old like I go for dinner with the boys at Elisa and then we go I go meet some friends for a few beers after. Nothing crazy. Wake up, go to the rink, bag skate, go for lunch. Like I’m not taking wies. Like that’s how out of the lineup I am. I’m not even like a thought for you’re a fan now. I’m Oh yeah. I’m just I’ve got my Fred’s jersey on and you know let’s get her going fellas. like uh so I go for lunch. I have a Chardonnay, a nice beef tartar down at Provence in Yeltown. I have a pint. I’ve got a few friends. I go back to the pack room. I have a a sauna. I have a lie down. I get on this the late bus, the 6:00 whatever scratch bus. I get to the rink. Brandon Walker, our team service guy, is like, “Ty, come with me.” I’m like, “No.” I’m like, “No, you’re [ __ ] We walk in. Uh, all the boys are half-dressed. Like the warm-ups is in like four minutes. Luke Shen has got m like ridiculous food poisoning.” I look at him, I’m like, “Shenner,” he’s like, I’m like, “Oh my god.” I gear up like, “No warmup, no nothing. I just put my gear on. I’ve had a Chardonnay and a pint and a tartar pregame and a sauna. It’s elimination game. Vancouver Clutch. Oh my god. I go out for I I walk in factors there. He’s like He goes to me. He goes, “You might be the only guy that could [ __ ] pull this one off.” I’m like, “Well, so we will out for Wormies. I’m zipping around. No Bucky. Like just trying to feel it. Get something going.” Sure enough, they’re like, “Yeah, you’re going.” I’m like, “Oh my god.” Come out, sit on the bench, like 20,000 white towels going, everything. And I’m like, I looked Yos sitting next to me. I’m like, “Yo, am I like am I tweaking or am I like on the bench right now?” He’s like, “Oh, we’re here.” I’m like, “Okay.” Honestly, felt all right. I had an apple. We’ve got a big win. [ __ ] I had my guy. I had my guy. Wait, how many minutes did you play? I think I played probably like 18. Like, you know. [ __ ] Yeah, they had me out there like it was. They gave me a normal shift. I was running the power play like the gullet that you were zero chance in your mind playing bus. Yeah, I grabbed the six o’clock, right? We got to the rink at like 6:25. Wormies is what 6:30. Yeah, like the like the PR guy isn’t even on that bus. He’s already there. Probably better. It happened so late. You finding out so your your anxiety wasn’t able to build I had like a second of anxiety. I texted my wife. I was like, “Hey, I’m playing.” And then that’s all I had time for. Like I the guy I was at lunch with, a good friend of mine, Dave Hamilton, all time. He was going to the game with some buddies. I didn’t even tell him. Don’t. He’s had he had beers with me at lunch. Next thing you know, he’s looking on the ice and I’m [ __ ] out there. He’s like, “You got to be kidding me.” It was wild. If he was with a buddy you had just met for lunch that was going to the game with him, that guy would have been like, “What the What’s this league about?” Yeah. I don’t uh I don’t feel great about that one cuz I I love the game and I I really respect Yeah, but that’s different. If I was taking Wormies, [ __ ] I was right. I had played in a month and a half when I was, you know, you’re you actually would have been panicking all day. I bet like not panicking but like [ __ ] I’m in tonight. And you got bag skated like not playing. I will say though I was electric that morning. Like I scored some ridiculous goals against the coaches. Like I even yelled at a coach. I’m like, “Fuck, put me in.” And uh he sure enough I got what? Yeah. I don’t know. Yeah. You remember your old man with the Colona days? He’s like, “You know what? I’m just going to have [ __ ] call trots up myself. Did you play the next game? Oh, no, no, no, no. But, uh, absolutely not. And then you guys lost. Yeah, but the coach did tell me. Brunello said, “Uh, [ __ ] We were thinking about it.” Oh, that was nice. I hadn’t been a thought in a while. So, I You know what? I planted a little Tip told me that for five [ __ ] years and now we’re thinking about it. Stay ready. [ __ ] Yeah. Get in the room and play the music. Hey, I’ll tell you there’s there’s definitely fans of the Preds, like fans of any team where if you win an elimination game and a guy is an assist, when they saw the lineup, they’re probably like, “Why are you doesn’t really matter if it’s 6D? Why are we switching a winning lineup here?” Our guy get him get him some Savon Blanc, get him some Tuna Tatar, and throw him back out there. Yeah, you know what? I couldn’t agree more. Doesn’t matter that my assist was a drop pass to Yos who took it end to end. It was still remember Oh, buddy. I set him up. I was I was drawing guys in and I sucked the back. It was next. So, Leo, I split the D, sucked the guy over, went right between his legs of the middle and and then we ping. That’s Yeah, I was half biffed. Yeah. And I And I bought some shoes at lunchtime. Went on a shopping spree. I had my dog in I had my dog in town. I walked the seaw wall. It was Yeah. Really nice afternoon. and we caught Vancouver on a beautiful day. I will say I do lead the league. There has to be I don’t know who can pull this up, but there’s got to be I 100% lead the league and drop pass apples. There’s no question. Oh, on the power play breakout. Yeah, I got Davo Mac and Matthews and Mars. Nate and Nate and Davo gave me a lot of drop pass apples. That’s 100% a dream. We need a fan biz to go out that somebody will go through all of the assists you had and imagine the super the super clip of like 47 drop pass apples. The drop pass on the power play is like within the last 20 years they weren’t doing it. They everyone was just doing the you know guy up the middle two guys on each side with a stretch guy. So it’s like the last 20 years is when it started popping off. I 100% you have they didn’t do it when I was first came into the league. I think Wayne was one of the Did you say he started with us and I couldn’t even do the drop pass cuz it was like what is it was like the alleyoop and semipro like yeah he was like just f leave the puck they will get it. Ty we’ll take about 15 more of those stories u in the rest of the pod. Um and you you’ve had to have gotten in some even more crazy antics for sure. Uh I don’t want to make my whole career about being hung tits for games, but there was a couple worked for me and Biz. Yeah, true. Uh no, there’s been a couple good good runs that that year. We were the worst team in um like since the Atlanta Thrashers came in the league when we were in Colorado. We had a good crew there. We like like you know we were out of playoffs in like November. We were just awful. Um I I just remember near the end of the year like we were we were having fun like going out whatever. Um, and Jared Bednar, who’s a beauty, he called us into his office. It was me, Nate, and Calvin Pickard. We think we’re in trouble. Like, uh, and he sits us down. He goes, “Guys, listen. I get it. Win, lose, tie. You hit the rye.” He’s like, “I’m just saying, I’m not telling you not to.” He’s like, “I’m just saying pick your spots.” And we’re like, “Okay.” And we walked over like, “Did he just give us a green light?” Like, that was a flashing green. I was like, I thought we were going to get in trouble. Oh man, that was good. And uh we we took that to heart um for the last 10 games of the year. Favorite favorite city on the road to have like a nice dinner night out with the boys. Oh, that’s so tough. I always I always love coming into Vancouver. Um same. That’s That’s biased, but it is I mean you can get a nice dinner and cocktails. Top five for me. Top five. Were you at the Western Beayshore there? No. Oh, no. We No, they had an owner. Oh, okay. Yeah, we were at the Pacific Rim early on. Oh, that’s nice. That’s tough. Yeah, the pack rim is usually where we we’d land or the 4C’s there for the first couple years. We stayed at so many uh Westons. I bought a Weston bed for my house. That’s We were the Weston Coyotes. It was a nightmare. Yeah, that’s not ideal. I actually like the Weston Beayshore because the the meal room Florida you put us in. You’re a bad hotel guy. You’re a bad hotel guy. Yeah, we went on a road trip recently and that Yeah. No, that was like a [ __ ] He’ll stay. Dude, you’ll see a Motel 8. No, no offense, Motel. He’ll be like, “Dude, that place looks actually good. This is nice, huh? Very low maintenance.” I kind of love that about you, [ __ ] You should see the back of his truck right now. He’s driving around a [ __ ] Transformer around Victoria. It’s the biggest truck I’ve ever seen. He’s got a close bar in the back. He won’t even let anyone sit in the back. He put our friend in the in the bed of the truck not to [ __ ] wrinkle his clothes. Yeah, you guys are brutal. He’s had that He’s had that clothes bar for [ __ ] 25 years. Oh, yeah. I got a new one. Custom one. I got a a new custom one for my pickup truck. Yeah, I got You used to have just a hockey stick. It was a hockey stick across. You were Yans came in one time. He was doing chin-ups off of it. He’s [ __ ] [ __ ] trying to take down my backseat clothes hanger. If you saw his car this winter, he got the truck like his car this winter. I I said, “Buddy, I don’t know if this podcast could continue.” Dude, it was melted. The front the the top above the steering wheel was like melted. Like it had been in the Scottsdale sun. It was change everywhere. I think I told I think I told Tyson I said I I drove it to go get it fixed up at at Jeep Chrysler and they’re like ah it’s going to be like whatever 152 grand, 1,500 2 grand to take before I took it back on the road and I’m like man this thing’s at it its wits ends anyway. So I drove it over to Ford to see what they had and it died in the parking lot. It’s you I didn’t know that you could I couldn’t restart it. They had to rejump the battery to bring it to the back to like assess what it was working. He still Yeah. Still’s business like I get 10 grand for this. They’re like, “Buddy, I’m going pay us to take it.” There’s $200 coins in there. I’m pushing it up Frank Lloyd right off or Frank Road to pull it in. I got How much money did you bring for it? I think they gave me 10 grand. Like, [ __ ] But whatever. Hey, [ __ ] I thought that thing with the I had the guy at gunpoint. I want [ __ ] 10. I’ll give you Chili Ones. I’ll give you a chili ones jersey. I’ll give you the non You ain’t getting the alcohol ones. I’ll get you the non-alc. Um but yeah, no, enough about [ __ ] ripping my ass. Who would who would be your sandbagger partners? Cuz this guy, this is this is the exact person we need to get two now cuz it’s us three. Me, Enzo, and uh Smitty uh would be a fantastic uh that would be a lot of fun. I don’t think we’d make it 18 holes. We’d just be laughing and drinking our faces. I’ll promise you this. I’ll promise you this. If you guys can line it up cuz we have to do we have to do two of them. We’ll do one with chili ones and I’ll drink for the first time when we do it. I haven’t And you’ll be nasty at golf too for sure. I I just hit literally today the one year it’s been since I’ve had an alcoholic beverage. One year. But keep in mind, if you bring the chili ones, I’m probably going to call in a bag. And I’m What about Dallas or LA in the fall? Dude, this could be Enzo be down. Hey, uh Enzo came to the cup finals. Remember we interviewed him the first loss for against the Panthers? Oh, he was around all weekend cuz who was who’s the kid he was with the snowboard? Um Mark Morris. Yeah. Yeah, we had a blast. He is that kid is I’d love to get him in a sandbagger. Yeah, we could put together we could do a little chili ones team like we’ll just host an event and will you bring you guys bring your chicklets crew and come up with something maybe cabb links and just get a bunch of the goons in there andor you were just kind of saying it you could play one with Didle McDavid. You could play one with Marner [ __ ] uh Matthews. You can do one O’Reilly uh um and and McKinnon. So you could have tons of options. We could be doing this till we’re blue in the face. We we could certainly do something like that. That would that would be a good time. That would uh going to Toronto. I know obviously McKinnon uh Edmonton’s obviously a different beast too with with McDavid and Dry Cidle, but that was that must have been a crazy experience seeing what like Marner and Matthews have to go through in the big smoke and in the hockey mecca. Yeah, that was like you know my first trade. So that’s always hard, your first one. And then uh landing in a spot like Toronto, they had the pressure on them and uh you know, they had Babs there, so it was not the greatest experience of my life for the first couple, but uh yeah, it got it got better and then CO hit. It was kind of just a funky season like I you know, got cut after 70 games, then we went into the bubble and it was a little bit bl um but I mean I love those guys. uh whole other added element to go play in Toronto. Um you know I I I love Mar so much was you know I think he’s going to just do so great in in Vegas and um you know he’s going to it’s going to be crazy for him to you know play game 32 and come into the locker room and nobody’s going to be waiting to talk to him. I think that’ll be a uh that’ll be something pretty special for him to be able to just kind of chill. I think he’s going to have a hell of a year. I think Vegas is going to be tough to beat. Um yeah, you said that you said they think you’ll think they’ll win it last night. I think they could for sure. I think Mars is Martn is unbelievable. That guy is uh he’s such a player. He first PK, first power play. He’s just a buzzsaw. Um yeah, I think he’s going to do really well there. I I mean I don’t know much about much, but I’m rooting for him. So, like you’re obviously a little biased, but when you hear like Biz or myself like calling him out in the playoffs, there’s probably a little bit of like these guys don’t get how good he is. Uh, I don’t know. I’m not going to lie. I don’t listen to you guys often, but uh No, I know. But like you hear the noise where he was. Yeah. No, I know he gets a lot of [ __ ] Uh, and hey, listen, like that’s why you make money and that’s why you’re signed to perform in the playoffs. And um, it wasn’t like he wasn’t trying. But I don’t know. I’m not going to pretend to to know why the production or whatever wasn’t there. I will say they did lose to a lot of good teams that, you know, went on to do some pretty good things. Um, but I think uh Barnes is poised to he’s probably going to have a [ __ ] unbelievable playoff this year. That’s all that’s all I can say about that. Well, he’s getting a cup before Biz in the Leafs. That’s I mean that’s a fact. That is that’s a side bet that we could get into. You never know. Yeah. Well, he’s still rooting for his boy AM34, too, right? Like, so you’re probably I’m talking like like odds here. It’s like you’re looking Marner Cup or Leafs Cup first. I think where he’s at, it’s like minus Yeah, Vegas. I mean, Vegas is a contender. And not saying the Leafs aren’t, but they’re they’re a contender. And then you add Mitch Mner, it’s a good day to be a Knights fan, as it has been since they came in the league. I I got I got to ask Roback. Last question. and use code chicklets at robback.com for a generous 20% off your purchase through the end of the week. Hoodies, joggers, polos, that’s uh chic ls on rhac.com. I know you’re a humble guy, but in your mind right now, best goal you ever scored in the NHL? Oh, biggest or best? Both. Yeah, I’ll take both. I’d rather biggest actually, but both. I scored one with the Oilers in game six to we were down 3-2 in the series. Um scored it late to put us up 3-2 with like maybe two minutes left or something to go to game seven. That one felt good. And then nicest uh I scored a few nice ones. I had like a early in my career I was I had a couple nice ones early um against I had like a twoon-one tow drag. Uh, there was one kind of like almost like falling backhand shelf. Um, I don’t know. You guys have to check the archives, but there was some nice That’s what I wanted to do. I wanted to go look them up now. Yeah, there’s there’s a couple highlight reels on there. Um, they kind of sputter out after like 2019, but early there was a few nice ones. Well, Leo will get to see these on YouTube. I swear to God there’s no HD of any of my goals. Like all of them are in like standard definition blurry. So at least you have like you don’t even like you’re not that old but like I I know but I don’t network. Yeah. I was in the coast. That’s [ __ ] You should see the grainy footage of that [ __ ] Yeah, we won’t. Yeah, I’m all good. Um I have a life. Every time we get you on, we’ll just [ __ ] abuse me for [ __ ] 60 minutes, you [ __ ] Um the the last thing I was going to ask you is you’re a huge music guy. you love going to concerts and stuff like that. Did you kind of take the reigns on that in the locker room, especially in the back half? Like when you were playing in Nashville, did they not have you in the locker room for even just like Oh, yeah. No, no, we had like I was TB tunes. I would just plug in and uh morning set the vibe. We honestly the guys in Nashville love Tenfe like obsessed. Oh, don’t tell these guys. Don’t they rip on me all the time about this? I rip on your like I don’t necessarily rip on the band. I rip on your like investment in the band. Crack. It cracks me up. You’re looking. Yeah. Sorry. We’re investing in the arts. I mean, what do you listen to, Wet? Well, I I’ll tell you right now. The guy had money to invest into Tenfe and had a [ __ ] 20-year-old Jeep Cherokee with melted [ __ ] bubble gum and and weed everywhere. You’re saying priorities. Yes, priorities. That is a priority. supporting guys who I think are all in on their music career. Ty, these guys go hard in the paint, man. I respect their work ethic you’ve told me about. I even told them I said if I never see a dime back from that, I don’t care. They got [ __ ] great tunes. That’s definitely the right way to go into it, Biz. But um I I sing one of their songs right now, Biz. the guys loved Tenfei and then we’d have just fantastic tunes uh before we went out and that was uh did turn into a big part of my last half of my uh year in Nashville. I would just put a playlist together and the voice had to take it from there because I was showing up for puck drop. But um yeah, definitely I was always setting the vibe. It’s been a while. People forget like the the morning mix is just as important as the game mix. Well, it kind of sets the tone for the whole day. Yeah. You don’t want to come in and just listen to dog [ __ ] tunes. No. No. Not while you’re having your java taping your stick. Like that’s kind of like that sets you up for a nice afternoon. Get your pregame like a Chardonnay [ __ ] would uh So would you would you uh would you change it up from city to city where if let’s say you were playing in Seattle for sure Pearl Pearl Jam on the pre coming on prior. Yeah. No, I mean you you have to have I mean the mark of any good kind of DJ is you can’t just repeat the same [ __ ] over and over. Yeah. Oh, and also Jock Jims. Like I said, the mark of any good DJ. Oh, you are such a [ __ ] ball buster. No, no, no. This has been great. I I don’t know. I don’t want to keep you guys too long, but um is there anything else you want to say? This is your retirement interview. Yeah, I just saw Whit ruthlessly plug rollback. I would love to ruthlessly plug Chile ones. Uh fantastic. Um, a big portion we’re BC Corp. A big portion of what we do uh is for charity and getting local kids into sport. We’ve got a really great group of people behind it and uh yeah, it’s a really nice light drink. So, um, thanks for letting me plug that. Thanks for having me. And always a pleasure, guys. Give us one more last thing. Last thing. Yeah. Or what what like when will these be in Massachusetts? Like, do you know any of that? Like where where can you get them besides the website? Are there certain states? Yeah. So, we’re going uh deep in Canada here the next few months. Uh we have a really cool program we’re rolling out um with a uh a very talented athlete through the Olympics. Um that will be this year. And then early early next spring and uh summer we’re planning to move into Denver. Um start there and then we’ve got beer in the tanks in the US. So we can certainly land some on your doorstep. But as far as being able to walk out your door and go to the local grocery store and grab some, you’re probably about two years away from that. If which country goes well, which country will be he be representing at the Olympics? Tough to say, but I am Canadian and I will be rooting for the Canadians. So, you’re a great about that first man speech by the German. Well, hey, I I if the Germans are in the hunt, I I’ll honestly throw a German jersey on. That would be uh that would be fantastic. But okay, buy chili ones at every uh 10fe uh concert as well. Oh yeah, we’re going to ruthlessly plug chili ones at the 10fe shows. I’m going to fake get married and have them play at my wedding just so you guys have to listen to them. No, your 41st. You should have them come to your 41st. Yeah, you pretty big 40th there.

That was my That was So listen, I didn’t see they had like technicolors everywhere. I just ran with it. I was It looked amazing. Like, sorry for the colors. You don’t get out much. Awe. That’s what I’m Thank you. The voice of [ __ ] reason over here. Thank you, Tyson, for hopping on board here. I don’t mind giving you heat, Biz, but like this seems unwarranted. You had a birthday. Sorry for the colors. I had a birthday, bro. They were acting like it was a [ __ ] diddy orgy, like there was oil everywhere because the the couple days before Posasha, our our videographer who’s probably on here right now, he was looking for outfits to wear and there was one that came up like it was a a cheap suit and then there was like a a rainbow one like Technicolor. So, I’m like, “Ah, [ __ ] I don’t give a [ __ ] Grab me that one. I’ll dress like an [ __ ] with and then I’ll throw a cowboy hat for the disco rodeo theme that we put on for my friend Jackie.” like you kind of nailed it. Presented by Tenfay. It was [ __ ] money. [ __ ] that party [ __ ] that party that party looked incredible. But like obviously after I was going to like bust your balls. It still to this day like looks like an alltime shaker. Were you not? Why weren’t you there? Bingo. Dude, I got [ __ ] bingo. Ty, buddy, where were you? You weren’t at my 40th birthday party. I got three. It was the It was March. We were traveling for chicklets. We’re home. I could if that thing is in Scottsdale. If that’s halfway in the country, I think I could have made it. You know who’s coming to my 40th? Enzo and Smitty. That’s how I know we’re in good shape for the sandbag. There you go. There you go. Just saying. You know what? You know what? Biz. You guys divide yourselves. He didn’t Well, he can’t do that during the sandbaggers. He can do it right now. He says he didn’t have a [ __ ] ring, so he wasn’t coming. That don’t make sense. I said you could use mine. I got plenty here in my side drawer. I feel like we’re getting way off on [ __ ] rings. Use this wedding ring. Whatever sells, buddy. Yes. Yes. Everybody’s fair game. But it was an awesome party and uh yeah, Tenfeay wasn’t there. It could have been better as win holds up a pencil. Okay, so I was going to say Ty before we before we log off. Yep. You have to give us one more story. Whether it’s from Nate’s bachelor party, whether it’s from either of the weddings. Give us a or or from your career. Give us one more. Like the Chardonnay. That’s tough to be put on the spot. I like questions more than But you were coming on this podcast. How do you not have a few [ __ ] teed up ready to go? He’s never listened to this podcast. He doesn’t know what it’s about. I just I I don’t have time for the pods. But you got to have an Enzo story. I do have an Enzo story from the trip. Uh Enzo’s not going to love this one, but Perfect. Yes. I mean, he was on fire. Leon’s welcome party. Full program. Like he had the whole I mean, he was pretty much the show. He was shirt on backwards. Yeah. You know, he was doing a a top button untucked like full the cholo. Yeah. Yeah. And he was he was delivering like full He’s excited. He’s living over over in Europe, so he hadn’t seen the boys in a while. Um and he’s nailing it. Nailing it. We get in the shuttle to leave. He’s got to be thrilled with his performance. His body’s done though. He shuts down in the shuttle. We’re going back to the hotel. Um I’ve got a room with a a spare bedroom up on the second floor and Enzo’s at a different hotel cuz he booked late and is a complete donkey. Um he’s with his his new wife who’s a beautiful, amazing, very patient woman. Um he’s he’s now in the shuttle and he’s out. And I’m with uh it’s me, Zach Heyman, Victor Arverson, and the girls. is still, you know, recovering from his injury. So, and Arvy’s never met Enzo nor myself. And I’m like, Arvy, I need you here. Like, I gota I’m going to pull him up to my room because like we’re not he’s not getting to his hotel. We’re not, you know, sending him like this. So, me and RV pull like carry him through the lobby of the hotel. We get him up. I carry him up the stairs. So, he’s not a big guy, you know, buck 50. Still still heavy though for dead weight. Oh yeah. Yeah. And I honestly kind of knew this was gonna happen. Like me and Emma were laughing. Like we of course we’ve got Enzo. He goes his wife goes back to the hotel. He’s down. We lay down. Five minutes later we I start to hear him stir. I’m like no. I’m like just stay down, man. Stay down. Full selling Buick’s yard sale. Just puking everywhere. So I grab them. I put him onto the toilet. The worst part, so he’s all good. He sleeps next to the toilet. Whatever. We’ve all been there. Not a big deal. He’s excited. Hasn’t see his friends a while. Um, but the next day we have a tea time at 10:30. He wakes up at 7. Demons, shadows. He’s like, I got to get like I got to get back to the hotel, like whatever. No shows me. I have my 10:30 time. Kind of like these guys at my birthday. Exactly. So, wait, why why did he go to your hotel room if his wife was on that bus? Your wife’s like, “Why’d we get to puke?” Was his wife going to carry him? True. Good point. Yeah. I needed RV, who’d never met the guy? We were dying laughing. He’s like, “Who is this guy?” I’m like, “He’s the best.” He played in the show. Yeah. Uh and then he low showed me for the tea time, so I facetimed him. I said, “You’re [ __ ] dead to me.” And uh I was going to go visit him in St. Trope after. I said, “I’m not coming. Um this is just a horrible I I I put you to bed, cleaned up your puke, and this is how you treat me.” Um, I ended up going 32. That’s late. Gonna say, “No way you are not going to Sanrope because of a little puke.” Oh, no. I made it. We had a great time. He redeemed. He bought me a nice lunch at Bagotel. We had a really nice time. We flew the Canadian flag. It was great. That’s a power move by Enzo moving to Sanrope to live. That is I mean, he’s he’s one of the most unique individuals in the entire planet. I love that man to death. He’s sophisticated, ridiculous, funniest teammate I’ve ever had. Um, what what a treat of a human being he is. Sorry. Sorry, Enzo for telling everyone that you puked at the wedding, but No, not a big deal. Puke and rally, baby. Or or in this case, I wish he would have rallied. He kind of left hanging. So, he had to golf with McMuffet for the the whole day, which was which was a nice time. When you say sophisticated, what is he just well read? Like where like he reads a lot of books. Maybe he just thinks he’s Maybe he just thinks he’s well read, but he’ll just he gets his hands going and he starts talking like he’s got answers for he knows a bit about everything. If you talk like this, I’m [ __ ] eat anything. Oh, tell me more. He’s leaned back, his legs are crossed, and he’s [ __ ] he’s getting this one going and usually has a glass of, you know, like just very very refined gentleman. That guy selling biz like this. Hey, the last time I saw a guy talk like that was Posasha in Montreal convincing this guy to buy meme coins and next thing you know, uh, a wit lost 30 grand. Yeah. So, could Yeah. And I could have made about 80. Enzo bought Enzo bought Bitcoin at the height. Well, he’s still doing good. He’s still doing good. Well, he’s getting he’s getting booted from his apartment Sanrope right now. Oh, he’s trying to pay in Bitcoin. Tax evasion. Hey, if if the big dogs you played with say Matthews, McDavid, McKinnon, Garner, Rant. No, no. All right. All right. But, but those three in particular, all in hole, T Green. Who’s winning? Oh, Nate. No [ __ ] He’s Nate’s great golfer. Yeah. Oh, that crybaby. I [ __ ] lit him up on the front. owns him. I [ __ ] run that guy’s show. You tell him I want him again. Nate was the worst golfer I ever played. He wasn’t fun to play with. He was awful. He’d hit a bad shot. I’d laugh cuz like some of the shots he was hitting was ridiculous. He’d turn around be like, “But are you [ __ ] kidding me?” I was like, “Hey, settle down.” And now he spent a summer, got lessons, and he was down to like a scratch. And now he’s probably like a five cuz he’s not playing a ton. But why you got traded to Toronto? What’s that? Now we know why you got traded to Toronto. you laughing at him in the golf course. No, you don’t you don’t laugh at Nate on the course. No, I think that that would uh I think that would be an alltime bagger if you and you Sid and Nate because we could we we played against those two guys already and embarrassed them. I don’t know if they would ever show their faces on a golf course, but if there was one if there’s one guy who could convince him, it would be you. So, good luck and uh tell Nate I run his [ __ ] show. Yeah, I’ll uh I’ll mention it. Yeah. relay the message. I will. You guys might be chatting soon here. There’s just no chance. Like they they don’t handle loss as well. Like you those guys are not not facing us again. Biz, did you did you hear Sid’s dad was trying to take credit at the fact that they should own the name of the of our golf videos, the Sandbaggers, cuz Nate said it. Sid’s Sid’s old man’s even mad at us, so [ __ ] bring him when we go at it. Yeah, we’ll get Troy in the mix. We could get Lenny Barry, Troy, and Graham McKinnon. That would be a ridiculous That would be content. Old man like he’s the best. He’s just a a good East Coaster. You get a couple drinks with him, he just starts to sound even more East Coast. Does this No, he does not do that. Uh well, hey, this has been a great hour, buddy. And and on a serious note, I know we were [ __ ] around there for the last 20, 30 minutes, but an unreal career. Um an unreal guy. unreal teammate and you could tell just by the response how well loved you were and uh we wish you the best of luck on on the second part of your journey buddy and uh you’ll probably have just as much much success if not more on this end. So we love you buddy and uh hell of a run. Yeah. Appreciate that guys. Um you too. Uh great careers on the two guys on the top of the screen here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh me and Whit must be on the top. Yeah, you and Whit are on the top. Sir, I don’t know what you guys are looking at, but you guys had wonderful careers. Um, Biz, well, you’re definitely never getting a seat in my back seat again. He’s throwing away that chilly one right now. Right after this. Well, filling up his passenger seat with clothes, too. Nobody could sit there either. Yeah, it’s a crazy program. You should have seen him trying to get out of the parking lot last night. Oh my god. No, the truck totally. There was a bunch of people leaving the restaurant. So I turned into this driveway and it was the most narrow driveway surrounded by these trees and I was Austin Powers and these guys are just giving it to me the [ __ ] entire it took us six minutes to get out of the parking lot. I was like why do you who needs a truck this you were three-point turn in it biz? So so people try to shame me for my truck size like a small bed whatever they want to [ __ ] say. I like to road trip. I want a big truck. I want to be on top of the road. What do you mean on top of every car? So, I don’t care. You are the I know what you’re saying about being up high. You got to be up high. Drive the best. But there’s like a reasonable limit of how high you should be. Is this Is this one of those like uh monster trucks? It’s He’s gravedigger. He’s got the monster energy. I got Gravedigger toy one like 20 feet from me over there. Oh. Oh, that’s truck. Yeah, it’s brutal. I mean, it’s room room. Is it loud? There’s no reason there. It’s a [ __ ] 250 diesel. It’s a [ __ ] diesel truck. [Music] Hey, who are you kidding? I was like, what the You used to ride in one every day. You used to ride in one every day with Derek Morris on the way to the rink. Yeah. And I used to have to [ __ ] have a trampoline next to it to jump up to get in. I hate it. I ripped so many suits from that [ __ ] thing. No, I had the slide down uh steps. Yeah, he did too. And they came down like 15 feet. That’s what they added in for the Cherokee game. We’ll give you the slide downs. That was nice of them. You have to remember I live in Arizona where there’s plenty of space to park and it’s just it’s just a bigger area where like we don’t have buildings stacked upon buildings. And also Jackson Hole like that’s going to be a I’ll give you this. It makes sense in Jackson Hole. That’s the only place it makes sense. A 250. Why not Arizona? Insane. Unless you Unless you’re hauling horses and stuff, you do not need a 250. I’m I’m looking down the road. I’m looking I got vision down. How long you going to keep this thing? A diesel engine will la last you 350 400 miles, buddy. 400,000. No way, bro. You don’t You don’t know what you’re talking about. You talk with your hands. You don’t know what you’re talking about. 400,000 miles. or 400,000 miles. If you get a Ford diesel engine, that’s that’ll [ __ ] last. You get You guys got to fact check that. That seems like a lot of money. Google it right now. They’re called used salesman for a reason. What do you want me to search? How long will a Ford F250 engine last? Gravedigger. Gravedigger. Roughly 200,000 miles. It says that’s that longer. That seems That seems a lot. Okay. cuz they [ __ ] last forever. This is It’s still half of what you said, but it is. It is a lot. We’ll give you that, buddy. That’s what the internet’s telling you. You might you might be thinking kilometers and miles and kilometers. That’s probably the same. I think that any any F-250 diesel owner would say, “Yeah, I think this could go to 250.” I never met another F250 diesel owner and I don’t live in Arkansas. Biz, let me tell you something, Biz. Um, this is on motorbiscuit.com, so I trust them. Oh, yeah. I’m a freak. When properly cared for, it could last 600,000 miles. Yeah, but he’s not properly taking care of it. He got his [ __ ] clothes wrapped in the back. Motor biscuit, dude. I’m not afraid to eat crow. I trust motor biscuit with my whole heart. I do, too. You’re right. That’s That’s a super duty. That’s what That’s what you have, right? I actually have that magazine here. I’ll go check. Yeah, motorb I think that when I need some humbling, uh, we should get Tyson on and you guys could just do a roast every time. Maybe once a month, I’d say a week. Do a chili ones roast where you guys keep me accountable for my vehicles and my other silly antics. Um, I don’t think you ever got to even see me play, Tyson, because we only met each other in the NHL where I was doing the same thing you were doing your last year in Calgary. Yeah. Um, we definitely got on the ice against each other, but I wasn’t uh wasn’t wasn’t super concerned about Yeah. I knew you and Bordello were probably going to go and that was about all we’d see of you. You Yeah, you paid as much attention to my shifts as you as you do to this podcast. So, um, on that note, hey, that picture you sent us though, stick on stick with the old graphs this week was nice on O. Did you see that? Did you see that? Pull that up. Yeah. Show Show them.

If it wasn’t for me, we lose that preseason game. If it wasn’t for you, they wouldn’t have got Sid. That’s You could thank Merles and Whit for that, too.

Um, Biz, before we get into some topics that you might have had, we did forget to bring up the Hughes brothers. So, you give us your basically your uh your idea or your thought on where they’ll be, if they’ll ever play together. Um, I have heard rumblings that someone in the family wants them to be Rangers. Oo, New York Rangers. I depending on how the next year goes, maybe you could give it two years, I would assume that they just all end up and stay in in New Jersey. I think it’s just going to be I I think it’s it’s inevitable because like Luke’s going to be offered this like monstrous entry level or deal out of entry level. Well, when’s he going to sign? Jack’s got what probably like four to five years left on that eight-year deal. Yeah. Check it. And then my assumption is is the Conucks are going to be like, “Listen, what do you want to do?” And they have to want to get a boatload in return because you can’t lose them for nothing. And if it were to happen, let’s say in the second part of this season, if things aren’t going well for Vancouver, you get so much more for him because he still has next year on the deal. So to like get Twin Hughes at a $10 million cap hit for half of this year, which I would imagine I would be shocked if the New Jersey Devils aren’t a top four team in the Eastern Conference by the time playoffs hits. And to be able to add him for under 10 million or I believe he makes does he what does he make nine and a half or does he make 10? Either way he will be able to to if they can find a way to get Douggee Hamilton off the books and maybe send him back and get that money and add Quinn Hughes. I feel like if they make like one or two minor adjustment deals at the deadline, all of a sudden they’re they’re a contender in my opinion. And that’s it. Like Doug Douggee Hamilton’s cap hit is just as much. Maybe it’s like the exact same as what Quinn Hughes is. And no disrespect to Douggee Hamilton because like there are years where I believe he’s hit the 70 point mark and he is a dynamic offensive player. I just believe that from an overall game perspective, like even despite Quinn Hughes’s size, he closes on guys defensively. Like he’s very good in structure. He drives traffic. Like why would break am I getting a comment from Posasha here in the chat? 7.85 is what Quinn Hughes makes. Douggee makes nine. It’s 7.85. That’s what Hughes what And what does he have? One two more years or one. He’s got this year and next year left on his deal. I thought he was in the nine range. My apologies. He should be in the 12 range. 13. Quinn Hughes only makes under 8 million. He must have signed that right out of his rookie deal. Well, Luke hasn’t signed. I mean, Pasha would literally we would never he’d be poof gone. Yeah, but we’d never hear from him again. He’d disappear. Okay. It just seems like a lot for and and [ __ ] man. If New Jersey does end up having to move off of Luke and Jack because all of a sudden they want to be New York Rangers or want to go somewhere else, well, you also have a [ __ ] ton of leverage there. like that’s you’re going to get a boatload in return. I know you don’t want it happening, but I would if I I would bank on that all of them end up in New Jersey. That would be my that would be my guess. And what about you? What do you think? I think if they I I yeah, I could all see them on New Jersey pretty easily, but at this like and I saw a lot of people saying this when this whole discussion began or was brought up this past week. How would you not want to all play together? Like if people if anyone would ever be up it’s like to play with your three brothers getting to play on the same NHL team. That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever heard. So, I know Quinn Hughes probably doesn’t care even like if there were to be backlash from fans in Vancouver, but I also feel that he’s done so much for their organization even despite through the ups and downs and and especially going back to the circus last year and how he handled it so professionally and and it probably got exhausting for him how to answer all those questions being in the middle of it and the captain of the team. He has earned the right just like McDavid going to the Leafs. That’s the last time I’m going to mention it. He’s earned the right to kind of get that. But I I I mentioned it before with all these these big stars up for contract and the league turning a little bit more like the NBA where there is kind of a I feel like these guys want to play in the big smoke and they can kind of decide it now. Like that is the family where if they want to play for the New York Rangers, it’s happening and a nobody’s stopping it. What if they all went what if they all went to the Wings? That’d be sick. That would be awesome because Detroit needs to make playoffs and I still think that they’re going to end up in limbo. Pick anywhere, it’d be the Hughes brothers all are on the Red Wings together. Really? Yeah. I want the Wings and I’ve said this for years. It’s kind of incredible that the Wings have been jokes since this podcast began. Basically, the Wings were like growing up, it was like, “Oh my god, the it’s just the Red Wings. They crush everyone.” So, they made the playoffs 20 years in a row, right? Yeah. I want them on the big stage again. I guarantee the league does, too. So, who knows? I mean, it’s just an interesting conversation to me because it’s thinking of the chance of those kids all playing together and it’s a very realistic possibility in New Jersey. You know, Quinn plays out this year and he’s like, “Guys, I’m thank you so much, but I’m I’m not signing here.” And boom, Jersey, send me a jersey. I don’t if I would my guess is going to be if they’re outside of a playoff spot by the time the deadline comes around in Vancouver, they are just going to straight up ask him and if he ain’t coming back, which he’s not, I think they’re dumb if they don’t ship him out this year. And cuz you’re getting so much more return. Not to say he’s not going to get a boatload from from New Jersey. If if I’m New Jersey, I’m basically giving up every firstrounder I have to get him if he’s going to sign. The only problem being though and that he wouldn’t be able to reup right away. So there’s a bit of a there’s a risk involved, right? Um cuz cuz cuz he’s he’s still he would have they would have to wait till July 1st cuz he’s still got over a year left. But if Jack and Luke are locked up, he’s going to stay there. Yeah. Or he’s like, “All right, I’m going to go where you guys are coming in a couple years.” Yeah. Or or he goes there and he’s like, “Oh, I’ll see how it is and then we’ll all make our decision at the end of the year.” Cuz But Luke is Does Luke have to sign his contract this summer? Yeah. And it I thought he’d be signed by now. There’s one other big name who hasn’t signed his deal. Who? Uh Mason McTavish. There’s another one then. Somebody else hasn’t signed their deal. G, help us, baby. There’s a few bigname guys who who still haven’t been locked up before training camp. I know it’s a crazy take, but uh PFT said it a while ago when I was listening to pardon my take. They were talking about brothers. It might have been during the LeBron and his son playing with his son, and he was like, “If you have a sibling in the league, you should be able to play.” Like, how cool would it be to see Brady and Matthew play together? How cool? Like, I got to play with Eric and Mark Stall together. It was so sick. like just to sit in the locker room and be like, “Oh my god, this dude’s brother is right next to him.” Like how [ __ ] cool is that, you know? So, I just think the storylines of what you want, like it makes so much sense for all those guys to play together. I hope it happens at some point. Obviously, it’s going to hurt one team or one fan base a lot, but to play with your brother and it’s such a small opportunity to do it, I think it would be the coolest thing in the world. Yeah. fans. If you could pick one team outside of New Jersey where you would want to see the Hughes brothers play, where would you want them? I think a package deal, get the Quinn, the Hueses, and then Brady Kachchuck down here in Florida. Had them all down here, all the brothers. And yeah, five of them. Uh, Bis G says it’s uh Luke Evangelista and Alex Hol are the only other two. What do you think Luke is Luke Hughes is trying to get? What’s his I was wondering that too. And and he could how many years like are they offering him long or they or is he like I don’t want long. I It’s a hard game out there now. And and I think these are wild times for agents and players because the cap’s going up and up and up and then you see reports of where it could actually go like in 10 years and it’s just such a different game now. Like it’s it’s hard to be somebody you how do you even know what you want if you’re going to sign eight years where 6 years from now you’re not like what the hell did I sign this contract for? I’m I’m looking it up now. But how many years does Jack Hughes have left? He has five or five. He’s got five including this year. Okay. That’s why it’s like why wouldn’t they all just play in Jersey? that. Yeah, that would be the only thing that really makes sense because the jersey is not going to make a trade with New York to get them all there, right? Like you No, I think the only way it happens if you they all go to Jersey right now, which would be amazing. I know. P. My god. Pasha, it would actually be even better in terms of what I would want to happen to Pasha if they went there. Unreal year. If Biz’s idea happens, he goes to Jersey halfway through this year, they go on a run, they don’t win it. Maybe they make Eastern Conference finals or the cup finals and Posh’s like, “Oh my god, like we’re winning. We’re winning three of these things in the next 5 years.” And then Quinn’s like, “No, I’m all set.” He goes somewhere else and then, you know, the other two are leaving. That would be what I want to have to happen to Pasha. That would be the best possible storyline. Hey, I wonder if he would take if he could take the trade right now, all three of them playing in New Jersey the next two years together, but then knowing after that all three are gone. Yeah, but you got Hughes for 5 years. Oh, you’re saying he’d be like, “No, but I’m saying is like then he would request a trade and he’s out of there.” Like would you take the the role wouldn’t risk it? He wouldn’t risk it because he knows even with all of them the next two years they don’t have a cup winner. He would he would even admit that. You don’t think with the three of them in the next Well, they have two of them. So, if they added Quinn, you’re thinking just Quinn Hughes alone there in the next two years winning a Stanley Cup. I think if you’re swapping out Douggee Hamilton’s money for Quinn Hughes and and then you have you you can make some I mean, I know Pot Palot struggled, right? He’s not the Palot we saw in Tampa Bay. I would imagine that’s somebody that you’re trying to get off the books and if you could sub him in for like a player that could be as impactful, let’s say like a Barbashev like when he went ended up going over to the size Jersey needs like bigger. Yeah. Like if if to me if they were able to like make the Quinn Hughes move and then like add like a Barbashev, I think you’re honestly like one more move away if if all of a sudden all these guys have a have a big year. Like where is he Japan right now? He can’t answer this cuz he’s in is he Japan still? He’s in He’s in I No, he went over to Korea. Korea now. South Korea. Nice. Posh is just all over the world, man. This guy’s a world traveler. Jesus Christ. I thought I took vacations. We We are shriveling Vancouver basically saying he’s not going to stay there. I’m kind of excited. I’m kind of excited to see uh Vancouver this year. I want to I want to see How many games are you going to watch of the Vancouver Conucks with? How many? But if they’re not playing the Edmonton Oilers, how many games of them are you going to watch? Listen, fair question. If Person can like be the Patterson he used to when he was I was watching the 10:00 Saturday night like Hawin and Canada had Vancouver games on. I was like this guy’s unreal to watch. Me and Quinn Hughes made it so fun. JT I mean they had they had like a fun team to watch and then last year was just a disaster. And let’s see this year. What if Patterson’s nasty? I think Patterson’s going to have a big year. They I don’t know if you guys talked I don’t know if you guys talked about it last pod. He’s he’s added about 15 pounds of muscle. Uh got married to an absolute missile launcher this summer. I don’t know if he’s just a beautiful girl. So, so I mean he’s got a lot of things going for him and I think that with JT gone and and a mental reset in the offseason, I think he’s going to put up like 85 to 90 points this season. Yeah. I think I think he’s I think he’s putting up 35 tucks. All right. Yeah, I think he should. We’re going to have the previews coming up soon. I mean, at some point, next couple weeks, get the division previews. We got to get some people on for those. That’s always fun. And yeah, what else did you have? Sorry, Biz. I interrupted you. Oh, I think maybe the name I was thinking of was Bard cuz he has the ability to sign, but he hasn’t yet. Um, but uh, yeah, I thought there was one, it’s going to come to me. There’s one other guy who hasn’t signed before training camp and uh, it might be a cap situation with one of the teams where they haven’t figured out their cap situation. Unless that player was signal sign or or does he have No, he Eel can sign now. He’s only got one more year too. Jeez. He’s one of those guys who is one of those superstars who’s waiting for one of the dominoes to fall. Imagine if they like somehow because it’s like the you see for a long time now next year’s UFA class or two years from now UFA class and back in the day it was a big deal. Well now the big dogs they they they don’t even get there. Imagine if this crazy one after next season they all were like let’s just all wait it out. Oh my god. You just put another one in the in the chat. Kempe Kempe could re Yeah, that’s your guy Biz who you originally when you first started saying 10 million a year. They got laughed at you and now it’s like no brainer. That guy’s a dog. He’s getting He’s getting 10 for sure. He’s a superstar. He just plays in LA so we don’t talk to him. He’s a I think he’s he’s gotten 40 goals twice in his career. Like how many guys are doing that these days? And he’s sick in the playoffs. They lose first round, but he’s nasty in every every time they play the Oilers. And he’s he’s got a mean streak to him. He plays like a bulldog. Yeah, he’s a piece of [ __ ] to play against. Um, speaking of a bulldog, Keith, that that game Saturday, I mean, holy [ __ ] Go home. University of Georgia, they shocked. I mean, I’m watching this game there. It was 21-7, right, after the first quarter? It was 14. It was Yeah. 14-7 then. Yeah, it was 217. Yeah. Insane game ends up where Tennessee They have a chance to win it in regulation with a field goal. Look at him. We just listened to his whole mountain climbing experience and he’s on the phone when you’re trying to tell him about the Georgia Bulldog. We can relive it. He’s not listening. No, no, no. There there’s there’s rumblings that uh Dylan Dubet might sign with the Toronto Maple Leafs. I just thought that that was an interesting story that I just got sent over. Oh, okay. But go back to your your Bulldogs. Go dogs. Okay. So, they were they were up or they were down how many points? It ended up Tennessee’s got a chance. No time remaining to kick the game-winning field goal. They’re showing this kid on the sideline. Keith, I don’t know. It was like It felt like it was 12 to 15 minutes after they started realizing that he was going to have a kick to win it before he actually kicked it. They ran all these plays to try to get in the middle of the field, get a couple more yards, couple more yards, get him closer. So, he’s he’s the center of the broadcast and in the stadium, you know, everyone’s seeing the kid back and forth. He’s doing some warm-up kicks in the net. And he did not have a look of confidence like at all. And it was just so long that I’m like, I don’t think he’s going to miss this. Like, this is he was getting freezed out, dude. He misses the thing. How far? Oh, just shank the thing. Right. No, no, it was like a 37 y, wasn’t it? Okay. Not exactly. I thought it was a little more. I think it was a little more than that. Okay. College I would say 20 like 30 yards in is a chip shot. Anything past 30 yards college, you don’t know what you’re doing. Dicey. Yeah, you’re kind of right. Maybe 35. Dice. Yeah, you’re But holy [ __ ] Then it goes to overtime. Georgia, they give up a field goal and then they get the ball running in. Just an incredible game. But I almost wish we could get the picture up of the kid. I felt so bad for I hate seeing and then he made the kick in overtime. Didn’t matter. But I Oh, I felt so bad for But I knew he was missing it. I knew it. I know. It was one of those feelings, Keith. I was like, “This kid is not making this.” If I type in Tennessee kicker, will it come up a picture of him? But biz there’s 106,000 people there watching. He has a chance. This this would be a huge win for Tennessee. Like massive. He would have been an absolute legend on campus, dude. If he had hit this and they won in regular regulation, he could have walked out of the stadium with his [ __ ] uniform off completely. The dick sucked off his torso by all the cheerleaders to my stomach for the kid. But I knew I loved it cuz he missed it. I knew. So I’m seeing him right now and he looks like the kid out of Little Giants blowing the boogers out of his nose. That is the perfect Yeah, like the kid who has he has got the bubble wrap at the beginning and stuff. I think he loses his head in one of the tackles of Little Giants. For any younger listeners, like maybe Little Giants, if you rewatch it, I haven’t seen it in quite a while. What a movie that is. You’re saying that it was almost his own team’s fault for icing him. I Yeah, penalty. Oh my god, I forgot. Yeah. So Biz, he’s getting he’s they’re going to kick it and the guy jumps offside. So five yard penalty. That’s I I I forgot the biggest part of the story and that’s when you were like, “Oh no, he didn’t need that. He didn’t need that.” The penalty. I’m looking at this video and I’m thinking like this is a skit for the out of order. It looks like it’s like sass. It’s like little sass. That’s what I was saying. It looks like little sass in a tennis. You said that. I didn’t hear you say that. I said that in the in the Stormer’s group chat. I’m like he looks like little sass. He’s just like all stressed out. He’s like, “Oh my god.” He’s like, “Is this worth it? Why am I here?” The college football like environment. It’s just He’s like, “I got to get my physics report done for class on Monday. [ __ ] I think I forgot to do it.” Still had to do it in the summer. Um, but it’s orange section white section orange 108,000 whatever. Oh my god, what a game. To be fair, he then kicked a field goal in overtime to put them ahead 4138. That’s what I said. Yeah. So, he hit the one in overtime. But college rules, you get the ball um if you if you get a field goal, other team touchdown wins. If you get no points, other team needs a field goal. So, Georgia got the ball back and and scored a TD, which was brutal because they were minus three and a half. They only won by three. Keith was the one who said, “Do they kick the extra point?” I’m like, “Nope, that’s a loss.” Yeah. I’ll say for for He’s got pretty nice calves. He should. He’s a kicker. I know. I’m just just trying to pump his tires after a tough week. Jesus. Go dogs. Um the uh I think that there’s really nothing else to talk about NFL wise. I I didn’t really uh burrow. I didn’t know turf toe is is like that bad. It just doesn’t sound that bad. But I think they’re saying he’s out 3 months. Got to get surgery. He has to get surgery. He could be out the whole year. 3 months. Yeah, that’s what they’re saying anyway. Well, 3 months is basically the whole NFL season. Yeah. Big Cat, Big Cat, and PFT were like, they got to rename this. It doesn’t sound like it’s that bad. Like, they have to rename this. They were like, they got to talk to their uh sponsor or whatever. Yeah, agreed. Turf toe. It’s like, God, Pluto, if Pluto just renames itself, they’re back in. Were you guys aware that Pluto got put on waiverss? I had no clue. Had no clue. But I learned a lot this episode. We got to do more of these teaching episodes. It’s like the clip of Francis when he teaches Dana Beers about all these different like things in life that you probably should know. Very funny videos. Um, they also told me that whales used to look like wolves and they used to roam the earth like on top of land. All right. Well, that’s about it. Let’s wrap it up. Episode 5,000. I was going to ask you uh and you guys might not want to talk about this. Like just like you guys are American and like I you know I live in the States like the the Charlie Kirk thing. Like that was that was [ __ ] up, man. Like I don’t give a [ __ ] what your political views are. If you’re online celebrating that type of stuff because he had certain values and opinions, I think that you’re out of your [ __ ] mind. and and and certain people in society have have truly truly lost it. And regardless of, you know, like when all that George Floyd stuff happened, when this type of stuff happens and all of a sudden there’s so much hostility online, uh regardless of of the topic of it, it it gives me the heebie-jebies. and like for his family to have to go through what they’re going through and for this guy’s life to be taken because he went to universities and and wanted to debate people and and talk about this stuff. It’s it’s it it like it’s truly like you’re like like where the [ __ ] have we gone as as a society and a world if if this is the type of [ __ ] that’s going on and and the people celebrating it online like you guys are [ __ ] clowns. And I and and and this is coming from like a liberal Canadian like you’re you’re a [ __ ] you’re a [ __ ] clown if you’re celebrating that. Yeah. I would say it’s shocking like and in in the social media world which is like you said it best. It does give me the heebiejeebies. It’s like it’s it’s so [ __ ] evil and like dark and like there’s so much just hate within social media and but to see like like a lot not not just a couple like a lot of different scenarios and people who’ve lost their jobs who are writing messages like good he deserved to die and like it’s just I don’t know I don’t I don’t live my life like that. I I know my family, we don’t I know you guys, we don’t live our lives like that. Like somebody loses their life, I don’t give a [ __ ] Like I feel like the value of life is like non-existent with some people. And I think there’s so many mentally ill people like that that need help. Like I I think the internet has a lot to do with it. I I think like you read about I don’t know anything. You see like there’s there’s discords. I I don’t even know what they are, but it’s there’s like a dark kind of nasty world online. It’s brutal and a lot of them don’t like they don’t offer suffer consequence for it. But for something like I think that Portoy put it put it good. Porto even said he goes I probably disagree with or disagree with 50 to 60% of the things that that he would say but like you you’re the the fact that you’re online celebrating that and you and then still think that you’re a better person because of some of the values you do carry to enough to celebrate what happened to him. You’re not like you’re you’re evil. I don’t care what biz like that’s what your values are. If you’re celebrating that, you’re an evil human being. Yeah. Evil to the core. Yeah. And I would Yeah. I would say just so mentally ill. Like Yeah. I evil 100%. But at the same like if if you see like the his kids and his wife and like the videos of his kid running onto a TV set with him and you’re still saying those things like to me that’s a serious like you’re mentally ill and there’s so much of it and you see it on online and I don’t I don’t know like what the the Hey, you want to go real deep? You have kids. I’ve talked about this with Keith. Like what the [ __ ] it going to be like in 20 years? Like yeah, horrifying. So it it it is it is pretty horrifying. You want to talk about your mind not be able to comprehend outer space. We’re talking about Pluto. Try thinking about how you’re going to I mean I have ideas and on how to like you know raise your children with the internet and like how ridiculous and awful it can be and how many parts of it are horrible but you can get in an absolute bubble like lost trying to figure out like what it’s going to be like for them and yeah there’s just so many so many unhappy people. Now, this is online. Now, obviously, I I go out and like, [ __ ] I live a a a very lucky life. No doubt. Like, I can I can admit how grateful I am for every single thing I have in my life. So, I don’t have the slightest clue of the struggles people live. But I meet a lot of great people and like happy people and uh like good-hearted, like funny, naturally personable. Like so I think a lot of it is just online and it you’re just people are all day and this is kind of like I I guess this is the in discussion of Charlie Kirk. You said all that best just it’s horrible that that was online that video. I I watched the far away one and then on Keith our chat somebody sent the closer one. Somebody saw it and wrote I I wouldn’t watch that one. That’s disturbing. My wife saw it. She’s like it’s just I thought it was fake. I thought it was fake when I when I first saw it. I’m like there’s no way that this this happened. And right um to go back to what you were saying where like that would probably be like that would be some advice I would give to even some of our younger audience where try not to get wrapped up in all the politics and all the [ __ ] Like it’s just going to it’s just going to be constant arguing. Obviously inform yourself, but don’t dive so deep into it where you’re allowing it to affect your emotions in a way where it’s driving you crazy. Like I feel like during co that was a pivotal moment like even in today’s society because like there was nothing really to do for for a period of time there where everyone was kind of stuck at home waiting and watching the news and watching their phones to when like we were going to get let out of our cages. And I feel like that was the first time I really felt that it was maybe impacting my mind a little bit where since then like I avoided at all costs where obviously it’s hard to avoid and and not see what had happened last week. But like I said, it’s just more of like this is sick. This is disturbing and this the sick and disturbing people are going to continue this awful discourse online going back back and forth at one another. just separate yourself from it and know what’s right and wrong and like the people that you talk about who you surround yourself with. Try to find people like that where it’s it’s just good-hearted people who care about one another regardless of maybe how they see certain things politically. So, it’s uh it’s a crazy world out there, folks. And uh it’s only going to get crazier. I I Yeah, that’s it. I don’t I I we can’t end on that cuz I try just to be like I’m living in the moment when I get stressed out. I’m living in the moment. I’m living today. It that’s literally what I do. I take deep breaths and then I say, “I’m living in the moment. I’m living right now.” What we got right now? But my last thing on it is back before social media, before the internet, you would you would be friendly with somebody you like not very close, but there’s somebody you’re friendly with. You know, your kids play sports together, like you run into them time to time, you work with them, and you’d be like, “I like this person.” Like they’re friendly. like you would have never seen their social media, right? So like now like people people like hate people based on what they post about when if it didn’t exist, you wouldn’t even know those things about the people cuz you don’t really talk to talk about it like that. Yeah. You don’t. So like now it’s like I hate that person. It’s like you never met him and I don’t know. I that to me is like the worst part of it. Like but my thing is like if you if you dislike something or someone like if I don’t like soccer I’m not going to be watching soccer or you know like using that as an example but like why are people people want to watch stuff to like spew the hate? It’s like just watch something you enjoy. Why are you watching that’s the problem? That’s the technology. It’s like that dopamine hit and it gets them like their nervous system firing and and they, you know, they don’t know it’s bad for them, but it gets their excitement up and and I Yeah, I think that people are so into their phones now and and also that’s part of the argument about these apps, right? Like like and I’m not picking a side on this. I think that when Elon bought Twitter, he kind of opened open season where it wasn’t as um certain things weren’t as flagged down much as maybe when the guy prior did it. The issue that maybe conservative people had with it was it was more like they would allow more of the left-leaning things to be allowed on the platform as opposed to the right side where now it’s just a lot more open season. So people who are younger and they’re first being introduced to the internet, it’s hard for them to differentiate what what is actually happening, what the truth is, clips getting condensed where there’s not really long form discourse where it’s just these like boom boom boom boom boom like hey like you know we [ __ ] around too and but like we’re also talking about sports when we drop these clips. We’re not talking about things that are going to change people’s lives like or or get people when you’re in that game now, dude. That’s a scary thing now. Like it’s think about it like a lot of people do what he did do what you know like that that’s a living people are making these political commenters online personalities. You’re like there’s some sick people out there. But it it’s like Yeah, it’s [ __ ] it’s [ __ ] crazy. But I guess yeah, it was probably smart you brought that up. Uh that’s just a well just more of a conversation like sometimes like we get like talking about things that are not hockey related and like once again like our prayers go out to his family because this this is a human being who was assassinated for for his his views regardless if you disagree with him or not. And I think that it’s important like we have a a job sometimes where we do have like younger kids who play hockey who listen to us when they’re on the bus on the way to the rink. Like maybe maybe there’s a kid listening who was getting a little too wrapped up on it and he’s letting it affect his emotions. Get away from it. There’s so much more happier things to to to put your time and energy toward. And especially like you said, you don’t want to be not being buddies with your buddies because of this [ __ ] like you want to have people you’ve known forever and you’re like now you’re seeing things they post like I hate I hate this person. I know. Um yeah. So Biz, I can’t wait to watch Peacin. Y can’t wait to see you. We got 10 days, boys. 10 days till we’ll be together. Even less than that, actually. And um uh I’m looking also RDER Cup weekend. It’s just uh it’s going to be awesome. So great catching up and we will be back next week soon enough. The previews will start. We’ll get everything going and camp. You know, we got some storylines. Biz won’t talk about some of them, but everyone have a great week.

Hey boy's, the Toronto Blue Jay's are and have been in 1st place for the last 6 weeks in the AL East Division !
Biz the 9.5 years is for an unmanned shuttle to Pluto. It would be about 30 years if humans went to Pluto
The Adirondacks Biz, one of 46 peaks. Would love to see you guys in Lake Placid
The year of EP40
Biz needs a diesel to pull his COD boat
As a born and raised islander I couldn’t be happier that you got to experience the beauty of it Biz. Sometimes we forget how lucky we are living where we do and your emotion and description of your experience really reminds us all what it’s all about. Thank you so much for bringing light to this beautiful land. Locals joke how it’s the best kept secret in the entire world but I’m so happy you get to share it with the entire hockey community and more. From all of us Islanders, thank you biz and please come back again to explore more as you’re just scratching the surface of the island. Cheers fellas!
PS, I know you’re off the piss but you have t had a true island experience without crushing a salmon pack. I’ll let ya figure that out on your own. Much love❤️
Biz, Franconia Notch in NH is a great spot. You can learn about the Old Man of the Mountain and then do Mt Lafayette (Franconia Ridge trail). It's a sick hike (9 miles)with a waterfall and once your on the ridge you'll have awesome views while you summit each of the three peaks.
A diesel engine will easily go 400,000 miles
You can always tell which one of these guys has the most testosterone. For the record, it’s biz.
At the end, the woke left is legit mentally ill, you don’t cut off your 2 year olds nuts, and be a normal person. The far left should all be treated at a crazy ward, and shouldn’t be allowed to even have social media/access to the general public. It’s actually a safety issue at this point.
Just saw your pink white billboard in downtown Denver…wow.
thats a pretty mote lake
I think its funny that no one has even mentioned them all going to play in Vancouver together. They'd back the brinks truck up for them. And they get to play in the Bestcoast aka the Westcoast. Biz and Tyson just finished talking about how beautiful BC is. Why would you wanna play in the shitty weather cities after experiencing what BC has to offer. Just saying.
The long livestream was SO good: fishing, Biz, funnies, food. Tofino looks like La Push, baby!
No surprise that Biz looks at Roosevelt as the epitome of masculine badass – takes one to know one!
Biz has a new Ford… 6.7 powerstroke if maintained will last well over 300k… East coast city slickers whit and yands are clueless lol
Rw got rug pulled by portnoy on his shit coin.
Stop any life advice.
You guys sell booze,gambling.
if someone is a ''nazi'' or ''fascist'', they wouldm't be having a civil debate with you. RIP Charlie.
"you should see the grainy footage of that shit"
"ya, we wont"
"ya, i'm all good"
hahahhaha
One drug is Acid, sounds like a tranquilizer as the other, any other guess ?😂😂
All time Pod!
Nothing hits like emotional Biz 🥹
As a neutral fan of the penguins I respect seeing Crosby finish his career in one uniform. I wish more guys would show the loyalty that he has
Bring back R A.
Yeah its good to be one of the 5 vegas fans. Lol
Biz, I got another jaw dropper for you, did you know that the way in which the moon moves effects tides across the oceans?
Biz 100% had a diddy orgy late night after party on his 40th, emotional outburst was a dead giveaway
6:23 I assume this is cory from trailer park boys
Biz is right about diesels
As an Avs fan, it’s always stuck with me he once said he was a best man at about 10 weddings when he played for the Avs. Tyson is loved everywhere he goes. This was an all time player interview imo.
Biz is correct with the truck talk
Biz is right on the ford trucks. I got a 2016 f350 with 330k miles and a 99 with 400k f250
Not sure if today was the extent of the recognition of Ken Dryden's death. Nice to hear recognition of Bernie Parent's passing. A much deeper dive on Dryden's contributions to hockey and beyond (in addition to his 6 SCs in essentially 7 years of play)….
Diesels easily last 500k with oil changes
Biz is an oddly ignorant and innocent man. Just doing whatever feels good and is pleasantly surprised by all the interesting factoids along the way.
Glad to know the Chiclets crew is on the right side of morality and history. Much love!
biz not smoking weed but doing hard drugs…. baby just give me a chance…… id be so good to ya …..
