[Applause] it’s my duty to please the booty and must got mad at me the coach he go Jesus Christ why don’t you just wor two NS I went okay switch please please please never do that y hello everybody and welcome to episode 477 of spit and chickens presented by
Pink Whitney from my friends at new amps to Dam vodka here in the BOS Sports podcast family what is up gang Happy New Year to everybody some of the Chicklets crew still out here in Seattle some back East so let’s go to Whit dog first how
Was your happy New Year buddy it was phenomenal you know it’s been a great uh what would I say 10 days since we we last recorded together we recorded a little early so it was a nice little break and I know that you guys uh you
Were out in Seattle you were doing the thing we have so much to talk about what an amazing atmosphere that was at least it seemed that way watching it on TV but you know we we haven’t talked in a while Christmas was great I talked a lot about
Putting that net together myself I don’t know if you guys remember me mentioning that little bit so around 1:00 a.m. right you know you start putting together the net finding your home you get everything set put up the put together the net your boy wit didn’t put
Together the net in the room that the net had to go in and when I went to put it in the room it didn’t fit oh no so just an alltime move by a guy who you know should have never tried to do it on his own to begin with um I had
To like take the back of the net off there’s a middle bar on the net so if that if that wasn’t there it would have been okay hell of a net though show up bow this net is a beast so then I had to
Like kind of break it to get it in so now it’s kind of mangled but for a six-year-old who shoots it maybe 3 miles hour I think it’ll be okay to go but the just the I’ll send you the picture the fact of the matter is like that when I
Went to put it through the door frame to get into the little hockey room I wanted to I wanted to puke I just about puked so that was a kick in the dick but then the morning it was a blast you know I I I remember my father and my mother kind
Of like filming us with the old school recorders coming down the stairs and it was a little fake cuz you’d already come down about 5:00 a.m. but you know I ended up getting the camera following the kids behind and they actually hadn’t been downstairs yet so kind of memories
That that’ll last a lifetime for for my wife and I and just seeing how fired up they were and it was it was a great holiday and then pretty much hung out all week then all of a sudden it turns into like oh my God they’re not in
School for a week we’re not going anywhere we were maybe going to go snowing there’s no snow in the Northeast it doesn’t snow anymore so we were stuck in the house and I said holy when does school start again this is unbelievable what the hell is wrong with
These kids why are they acting like this but then came along shout out to all the teachers out there oh you teachers do such a magnificent job what what an amazing group of people you teachers are um I won’t get it the ones that crushed their students yeah yeah yeah Jerry th
The old Jerry Thorton blogs but um and then New Year’s Eve New Year’s Eve was so fun talk about like flashbacks and memories and so I have a really close group of friends here and and Brian Yandle is one of them and his middle son Colin uh he made the Catholic
Memorial varsity hockey team he’s only an 8th grade so we saw that when their schedule came out um they had a 3:00 game against Arlington High which is a really good public high school program where you know kids aren’t leaving the town they’re playing for the school they
The town they grew up in in high school so excuse me a bunch of our friends went to the game Colin played awesome he’s buzzing around he’s playing third period he’s out there every other shift CM comes back they tie it up 2 two and then all my friends including the Yandle boys
And all these people came over for New Year’s Eve so it was just so fun like I remember being in high school and going to Brian’s games when he was on CM before he went to Cushing Academy and all of a sudden I’m there watching his
Middle Sun like it it was just it it was just all these memories are flashing back to your time playing High School hockey which is the best time ever I mean I know Canadians have Junior and stuff like that but American kids I think for the most part High School
Hockey a lot of times it’s the last hockey you’ll ever play it was just a blast to be a part of and then that night we had all the kids like ride there’re up till midnight watching the ball drop my wife at 8:50 she said hey
At 9:00 let’s do a fake ball drop for all the kids I’m like you think that’s going to happen in 10 minutes there was 30 kids at the house and um I said no no we’ll do it at 10:00 next thing you know midnight we’re blowing the laen kids are
Going crazy so yesterday was uh just hang out and watch the Winter Classic and then watch that amazing roll bow uh Rose bow game it was just a total chill day in the Whitney household but a phenomenal 10 days off lot of memories made lot of funny things that went down
Around the house with the kids and all my friends so it was a blast it was a blast I kind of wished I was out there once I saw the game yesterday how great of an atmosphere it looked like but it was also good to kind of recharge the
Batteries at home as you guys did all the heavy lifting um as far as Brian Yan ‘s kid now Brian Yandel and no disrespect to Keith he was the more skilled player of the two right that’s what even Keith will tell you it just so
Happens he had a body like a milk bag and Keith was a little bit more athletic so he was able to go on and have this illustrious NHL career where Brian played I think at the highest level the AHL he played a few games with WS Spar
Scranton I know he played in uh for the Phoenix road runners when they were like in the old bar downtown but ECHL Allstar nonetheless in an incredible college player so his kid has been giving that given that type of skill set as well yes and and Brian was just one of the
Silkiest players you’ve ever seen I think he was a two-time first team All-American at UNH like he would tell you yourself if he could have skated a little bit better he would have had a legit chance but his skill and his vision and everything was always just on
On another level um Colin his his middle son he he just put him back to D last year so I didn’t know that I was I was super impressed he he has the vision like Brian and actually his oldest son Brian plays at kushen Academy got the
Call up as you’re listening to this Wednesday called up to the varsity a team will be his first game he’s only a sophomore at Cushing so obviously he’s got the the genetics of of having kids he’s got another son Liam going to the Quebec tournament in a couple months or
In a month so the the Yandle the Yandle hoiness it all starts from Buddy Yandel a hell of a player great player back in the day and I think that all the kids are kind of the same so yeah Keith Keith’s the most recogn I able one but
Brian was skilled as would it be safe to say that you think that all three of them at least get to NCAA division one hockey it’s hard to say I I I wouldn’t I wouldn’t even know know how to answer that um it it’s such a crapshoot now and so much can happen
From you know age 14 to 18 like it’s like mer Mer’s Line’s the best talk to me after girls and booze is introduced and then we’ll see who the players are right people think they’re 10-year-old is St is destined to be a first round pick it’s like buddy we haven’t hit
Puberty they haven’t met girls and they’ve never had a drink so slow the roll down here you mean Matt Murley the biggest villain in in the in the province of British Columbia right now they got wanted posters up in downtown in Yale toown for Merl’s head on
A platter there was no chance Merl’s thought and we’ll get into what he said in a little bit about Elias Pon somehow becoming a Chicago Blackhawk there was no chance he thought that that was going to blow up like that he said that off the cuff and boom Vancouver he his
Phone’s bugged over there so he lives in the same city as Elias Pon does like that’s where Merles lives in Sweden yeah I think that’s where he grew up I don’t know if he still lives there okay so so basically he he heard this rumor from the guy down the street making pastries
That Elias Pon is is shipping off to Chicago and keep in mind isn’t Pon restricted a restricted free agent yes I think Merles has better sources than we think Merles usually doesn’t put this out there he was right about Monty like he doesn’t throw this at the
Wall like he’s not he’s not as much a rumor boy as me and you are Biz like he’s pretty connected so I I I I’m just a little bit disgusted and I I I don’t know if we’re gonna get into it later or right now might as well get into it
Right now I think this is a ploy to disrupt the Vancouver Canucks in the incredible first half of the Season they’ve had I don’t know what Vendetta MLS has against the Vancouver Canucks I don’t think he has one Biz I don’t think he has one I all I I see a dark twinkle
In ms’s eye and and for the first time in his media career he’s turning into a villain and he likes it he’s turning into the bane of podcasts he’s got the mask on over there he likes the chaos as as much as Merles wants to be this big
Sweetheart a I just like drinking beer and playing craps and getting the boys into trouble at 400 a.m. and then losing our blouses and then stumbling back to the room as if ra wasn’t the only guy in the podcast doing it no Merles has become a podcast villain and that was
The start of it all that’s my opinion I just want one more question about the chaos in your household for Christmas how does the gift unwrapping go do you say hey Ryder now it’s your turn to go up and and unwrap a gift and then everyone pays attention oh cool you clap
And then okay Wyatt it’s your turn or is it just like all right release the hounds it’s not release the hounds it’s not release the Hound uh Ryder does one Wyatt does one but it’s not one of those like hourong sessions either where you’re like talking and going over every
Gift I mean to be completely truthful they were probably interested in maybe 3% of what they got and it turns out the things that you don’t even think will even matter like end up being the big hit like Riders all into soldiers we got him a costume like a soldier costume
That was like number one so and then Wyatt he wanted all these like hockey guys and these little cars with eyeballs he calls them my eyeball cars my eyeball cars they’re from the movie Cars while he ended up being into to the new backpack Bri bought him for school so it
Was just one of those things you never know what’s going to hit oh and let me get ahead of something else I gifted myself my pingpong machine and by gifting myself it I mean I’d had it for a month but I didn’t know how to set it
Up cuz I’m such a joke so my father-in-law Dave came over and he set it up on Christmas and I released the video bing bing bing bing which also mind you I played my first opponent non-family member opponent and lost on New Year’s Eve in a two out of three
Lost both games in a bro I think I’m worse in one-on-one matches since I’ve been using the machine don’t know how to explain it it’s like being a Ranger Rick and golf where you stripe it on the Range and you get in the course and you hit everything out of bounds like Biz
But in the end I’m now struggling in one-on-one pingpong matches even though my machine game is tight well I posted the video and Ryder come Ryder’s in the video he’s just watching me I let Ryder do the whole internet communities all over me let your kid play including you
B let your kid play I gave him more turns than me it just so happened he was very intently watching my film session that I wanted to tweet out and then I took the brunt of the internet saying I’m a dad so didn’t appreciate that mean and uncalled for on Christmas
Yeah Whit Lavar ball Whitney when’s Ryder coming out with his own shoe a he’s gonna have a pingpong paddle with a pink Whitney logo on it and hopefully he’ll pay for his college oh so good it it is fun going high school games I went last week fors St Mary’s
Alind a couple my buddies kids play Mikey mlof and Patrick Le they on the MC team but just great to go back old old school I mean I obviously didn’t play when I was a kid but it’s just fun to have that atmosphere with the all that
yeah hey also oh the other thing from the CM game so Mike mod who’s a former Hobie Baker winner and he’s Brian yandle’s partner on the ring shrinks podcast his brother Rob his son’s a senior on CM so I was just catching up with him talking and unbelievably this
Kid when he was 14 years old started um a landscaping company right where he had like five houses in his hometown of Avon Massachusetts now the kid’s going into he’s a senior in high school he’s got 60 clients in all these different towns the kids absolutely killing it grass cutting
Weeding all this stuff I like realistically the kid could not go to college and then go even full bore into this thing and set them up for life it’s just amazing to see what what younger kids with work ethic can do and like just an unreal story of a young kid
Starting on his own and now he’s crushing it at 18 years old so I was forced to have jobs when I was younger like whether it was a paper out when I was early days I mean I’ve already told the story I mean I my pants on my
Paper out and finished my paper out if you kids want to learn about work ethic that’s having a heart right fun buiness some brown I was like for some reason I was talking the other day with the ANS about it and he actually his pants when
He was doing his paper out he used to do it on roller blades and there was a spot where he could like jump up and always clear but he had he had the but for whatever reason he didn’t not do the jump that he normally done did along the
Road and so he like did this huge leap and as he finished in like the jump squat position he just completely blew out his jeans and I think he was going commando at the time and oh buddy so he he got back kind of like me put the the
I ended up stuffing my shitty underwear at the bottom of the hamper instead of just throwing them in the garbage like how stupid put in one of the Papers little shitty surprise in the sports section but then again you have more than one pair of underwear but as Yan’s brought up he’s like buddy when you’re younger like you don’t have many pairs of jeans right like I wasn’t a I don’t think any of us were spoiled kids
Where when you’re what 12 years old you have like I don’t know seven eight pairs of jeans in your closet so he needed these carpenter jeans for you know wherever he was going next to do something that you need jeans on where jeans go skateboarded so he put He put
Them in the hamper as well so I uh I think his older sister had a bunch of her girlfriends over at the time and they were all just sitting around the kitchen table and and his dad came in he goes hey idiot next time you your
Pants let me know so I don’t stuck my hand in the wa you know washer bin and I touch your and he said he said he was mortified he’s never been so embarrassed in his life he ended up just putting his putting his bowl of cereal in the sink and then bee
Lined out of there so sure enough me and Yan had our own in our pants Story doing our paper out but back to the work ethic thing is Buddy a lot of these kids end up racking up all this student loan and they don’t know what their lives are
In shambles before they even get out of college and they don’t even end up using the degree that they went and got go do something like starting a landscaping company get start getting clients early on even when you’re in high school as a summer job then you yeah trade school
But I heard a stat that for every seven trades that are retiring there’s only one replacing them now now listen the internet can be a up place and give you bunk stats but to find good trades nowadays it’s nearly impossible and these guys because they’re such a demand they also run
Their business and then they do these Side cast jobs most of them are probably pulling in 200k a year and and part of which is cash so just going back to your point with like finding not only that work ethic but not racking up the student loan not knowing what you’re
Going to do with it so Boomer Biz over here just figured he should chime in about the kids work ethic no I respect that Biz that was the grind my gears for today’s pod by the way okay fair enough there we go uh Biz did you
Do anything exciting on New Year’s Eve I know we kind of saw you earlier the night I know we could separated it was not much going on for us no I was in bed at 10:30 I was pretty gassed cuz we had that appearance in Seattle and I don’t
Know if we want to get into it now I had a great time in Cabo over the break uh but then uh you know got got three rounds of golf in with my buddy Eric car dude I was okay I shot 87 88 keep in mind that the course isn’t as long as
What we normally play it’s a little bit little bit shorter but it was nice like if you hit a t shot 230 yards you were 150 yard approach shot so that that’s like a par for it was just a nice time playing getting out in the sun Cabo is a
Great time have you ever been to Cabo yeah I went to Cabo on the um it would have been Olympic Break um in two 2014 and I remember uh Sam G was there Taylor Hall came right after he got stepped on by Corey Potter with that
Vicious scar he had on his forehead it was right after that and my buddy Ned and my buddy Donley they came with me and we had an absolute blast dude we had I I was I love that place it was awesome probably since you’ve been it’s probably
Like doubled if not tripled in size the amount of people that are moving uh you go to the airport the amount of private jets so from a per capita standpoint most most billionaires with residencies so the the amount of Michelin star restaurants that it have the amount of
Unbelievable Resorts that it’s had it’s just really popped off I don’t go towards the chaos where of like actually like the Cabo San Lucas part where every dude’s offering new cocaine on the side of the road you you want to fly to the moon I stay on the San Jose side where
They have portals portal Los Cabos and it’s just they got their own little Vibe kicking up there more so in all these little private communities so I hung to that side they had their like private beach on the one in the one area and and
Got a little bit of RNR but then on the 29th it was off to Seattle and boys I would say that this is probably this will go down as my favorite Winter Classic to date nothing against B no it was just the the people like not to say
They weren’t friendly in Boston but I just feel like they were extra extra friendly here where they just were craving this sort of event and the amount of alaskans that I met over the last last four days like even so so for the NHL to throw this event in the
Pacific Northwest where they have this new team in the amazing fan base that they’ve created people from Alaska in the wintertime it’s a little depressing they’re getting like two three hours of sunlight they don’t have a pro sports team anymore because the Alaska Aces left they do have college teams and
Stuff like that but they don’t get this type of thing so for them to pop over I think it’s a maybe a two three hour flight and they came out and droves and the representation that the state of Alaska had as as far as the hockey
Community it was just it was awesome to see and uh starting with the event that we had on our first night at the Press Box with like I thought it was going to be kind of one of these very chill laidback winter Classics like oh okay
Maybe not as chaotic as Boston buddy it was F the sports F was crazy Bud it the line they had to cut off the line at one point it was it was it was thought it would be laidback there too and you ended up getting pounced on huh pounded
Awesome pounded I think every every other person in line was handing r a bag of something R went from the most sober guy in the world from the start of the where we had to basically keep him standing up by the end of it all right
Yes no um yeah I mean I I it was tough to get a tough to get a cocktail in this so I had to whack whack back a couple gu what do you call it high Dunes at at a time but no I woke up with with a
forest in my pocket the next day like and we didn’t even said put the bat signal like oh we we need weed at Seattle there’s plenty of it people are just super generous like they just you know have had a bunch of like one uh free rolls ons whatever they hooked us
Up big time so didn’t even have to go to The Dispensary that’s that’s a pretty pretty much Biz how was um how was Marshon Lynch seems like the man the man just a an absolute character and I had no clue until I got here that he was actually given part ownership of the
Team and I was like I didn’t know that how did that happen he said that he got invited to this like mob style dinner at an Italian restaurant and they were eating like a a schoras board of pasta and lobster and then all of a sudden
Like the word ownership popped up and he was like what like I could be a part owner and a hockey team here and not have to pay into it I think that it it’s just basically he represents and and was given a small chunk of it so I mean
Obviously a minority owner there’s 12 owners for the Seattle krack and I didn’t realize how many they had so a little bit different than Foley situation in Vegas where he’s got Maj majority stake if not all stake in that in that team so um but he said man I was
Asking him I said you had so many iconic moments in Seattle and and amazing memories that you’ve you know created for this city cuz they they love him like he’s probably the most beloved maybe you could put Ichiro up there because he’d spent so long Ken griffy
And all those guys but you know he’s probably the most wellknown as of late and uh I said like if you could recreate one moment he said honestly man he goes those are in the past I think The Best Is Yet To Come the fact that I’m a black
Kid from Oakland and I have ownership in a hockey team in Seattle to me is one of my greatest achievements and he said that you know I think the best is ahead of us and if we could bring a Stanley Cup here he said that that would be his
His biggest achievement that he’s ever accomplished in his life so I was like holy dude I was getting a little emotional as he was saying this and cut discussion about the one yard line you left left that no I didn’t want to I just I didn’t know if like because the
The energy was so good and it was so positive like I didn’t know if that would set him off Su you he just yeah all of a sudden a right turn and I I got a grill like him but um we’ll have all that coming out Biz too on in the
Chicklets TV episode you guys had a long chat you guys had great chemistry I said by the end of it I’m like they’re going to start their own podcast together he was loving you so it’ll all be in the Chicklets TV episode and so it I mean it
Was great to talk to him for about 12 to 15 minutes but as you know marshan likes the weed just like ra and probably even more so half the discussion was us going through hockey terms and he was relating back to marijuana so but the good news is is the NHL and
Working with them they allowed the Chicklets cameras to be behind the scenes with us so you’ll be able to see most of that on the Vlog on the spit and chicklets YouTube as uh as grenell mentioned so we had some fun stuff going on with buoy the whole weekend and uh
And I have a question about that so there’s no chance like you didn’t break one of his ribs when you jumped on him like have you been have you been served or like have you been notified by the police yet cuz that guy’s probably L
Like there’s a in an Amber herd and uh what’s the other guy Johnny Depp legal battle right now hitting each other back with restraining it’s getting ugly like I might I might never financially recover from this as the Tiger King once said like you jumped on you hit him with
The cold shoulder one of the best reverse hits I’ve ever seen it was it was like what capriso did to Dylan before he then cross checked him and injured him but then to jump on top of him he broke a rib and he’s going to get sued because there’s a little human in
There that’s probably sweating his balls off I know from being the Orlando Solar Bears guy and then to get like a giant 215 pounder landing on you like I would probably be calling the police as well I I I I Mis misper formed the People’s Elbow I thought it was a whole body
Check it was just supposed to be the elbow so once I landed on him and realized that it was his sternum I felt a little bit bad but considering that he’d been stalking me and and hanging out outside the hotel and just being the anarchist that this troll they’ve
Created is um I didn’t feel that bad so this will continue it’s not over he’s already tweeted that out I would say that round one goes to me oh by a land side 10 by land side I mean it was nice to finally get a w after uh bman roasted
Me on the panel and then everything that has happened over the past week with Butch Goring coming coming back alive after 5 days of complete silence now is he running his own Twitter account is I I don’t know the on you part made me think
Like it’s got to be a Ghost Rider like to say I don’t wear underwear cuz I’d rather on your chest is like that’s so up for like an old guy to say I feel like maybe from a younger generation you like all right yeah he’s into the Cleveland steamer but Butch
Goring dropping that I I think he’s got a ghost riter now and I I feel like a younger person though with is has that like I can’t put this on the internet and old guy is like I’m it’s the internet whatever it’ll get deleted tomorrow like they don’t know I like but
I also don’t see Butch Goring having like a publicist type like you know these old school guys don’t do the publicist they speak for themselves I know you can grab a nephew who’s like into the ra stuff off the ice and just be like yo tweet for me but then he
Would probably understand how to quote tweet and work it properly where he doesn’t really know but yet it’s still I think that I think the the I don’t wear dump I don’t wear diapers because I’d rather on you all the time has over 2 million so he is just firing off
Tweets like I don’t think it’s phony too I I think I’ve been told he’s he’s genuinely not not too uh too thrilled you is too like it’s not a put on I mean he is an old the guy I don’t think you know old the guys Boomers they don’t
Really know how to joke her out of the internet I don’t think so I I don’t think this is a put on from his side for sure is are are the Islanders playing in those outdoor games in New York yeah yeah uh oh see think run into him I
Think I I I think I gotta go buoy style and and troll him and follow him around and to the point where maybe I get the restraining order slapped on me he might just grab a big bag of papers like he’s on a paper route like you used to and
Just on you instead of in his own pants while doing the Daily Newspaper yeah lot of talk this podcast a lot of talk boys before we do dive into the game we do want to uh thank our friend Wayne Gretzky uh last week for the surprise Christmas drop hopefully
Everybody enjoyed that as much as we enjoyed doing it uh seemed like I I can’t believe we were able to keep keep a secret that long nobody knew about it so big thanks to Wayne once again was nice to bump in him down here as well
That story though of of him in the basement with the Russians and his buddy local buddy holding up the KGB so the Russian dudes could have a a couple Pops I saw a bunch of tweets I was dying it’s like so Wayne ended the Cold
War that’s how it went down folks if all Wikipedia and history books will change now Wayne Gretzky ended the Cold War in Russia don’t get started about don’t ask Wayne about the history books because that’s what ra did and our little New Year’s Eve dinner starts Grill grilling
Him about the Civil War questions next thing you know wo’s out of there he did it again did you made him leave again no I knew grenell was gonna make this story up and pretend that’s what happened not not at all ask Keith Keith said it wait a minute
AR first was a better disher and now you you’re bringing up the politics if who are you going to believe do you think I actually chased him away we he stumped me on a trivia question and then I asked him and Keith one and I stumped both of
Them and and Wayne was doubting my my answer and then he kind of gave me one of those he I didn’t chase him away he didn’t leave cuz cuz I stoed him on a trivia question I will say it was a great trivia question it was can I try
To get it can I try to get it the one I stumped a million people on the the two two NHL nicknames that are inspired by the Civil War the one is very obvious one and then the ones the one the other one people usually don’t
Get okay not so obvious so there’s two so there’s two I’m assuming it’s the Columbus Blue Jackets easy that’s easy one yep and the other one East Co East Conference or Western Conference don’t give them a don’t even give them a clue see I wouldn’t I I wouldn’t give them hints until they
Finally couldn’t get it then when I gave him hints Wayne guessed right then he’s like nuh no sir I was like no really is I’m not I wasn’t making it up but why this team was named what they were I certainly wasn’t making anything up uh
But I did something both we get back to it if you want to mull it over for a minute just tell him the answer just tell him the answer all right Calgary Flames they were they were based in Atlanta Atlanta Flames they were famous city of Atlanta famously burned down during either the
Civil War or the War of 1812 one of those Wars I think it was the Civil War uh and yeah the city was burned down actually if that was the question and then he left after that I can’t say that that’s ra running him out of town yeah
But when ra starts talking about the War of 1812 and stuff like that brought out a musket and and all right dude I I got to go to B you know how to pack this powder he he’s he’s halfway through this Forest that was in his pocket so it’s not like
It’s an articulate conversation must pretty much dead can’t score like the young sou Los than you a goons let’s get into the game and Joey fraking decord holy unbelievable uh very first shout out in a Winter Classic the Boston boy three nothing win by Seattle Whit let’s go to
You first I I knew you were talking about this guy in the chat earlier what do you know about Joey he’s he’s a local kid but we didn’t hear too much about him till he’s been on this run with Seattle so I I don’t know that much
About him but in Reading More and talking to his agent Jerry Buckley it’s a crazy story right I mean this is a kid who was there for the beginning of Arizona State Hockey he got to experience that team becoming D1 and and turning into what is now an amazing
Place to play with their new Arena and then he’s basically grinded for everything he’s ever got I I heard U mccan being interviewed after and just saying like he doesn’t take anything for granted because he’s had to work for everything he hasn’t not a high draft pick like myself given starts given
Games let’s see what you can do we’ll throw you out till you fail no this kid has had to do every single thing on his own his dad’s actually the uh the goalie coach at Buu great guy Brian dord he’s had a very successful kind of goalie training program in Massachusetts for a
Long time and so I think having a dad that knew what he was doing probably obviously helped the kid growing up but I think being such a late bloomer and now being a part of this Seattle Team who don’t forget like guau has not worked out there he’s making a ton of D
He’s injured while dger is also making three and a half so like no one would have thought going into this season that DC would be there saving their season cuz right now they’re 70 and2 in their last night they’ve now won five in a row
And it’s all in the backs of him he’s playing incredible I think a big part of it is last year he went on that amazing run with Coachella they got to game seven overtime of the cder cup man like they deserve to get a win his save percentage in goals against was
Phenomenal throughout the AHL playoff run and it’s just cool to see someone that that comes out of nowhere in a sense right like you’re so used to the big prospects and all of a sudden you’re looking at a fan base and they’re checking out who they have coming up and
No one’s thinking of anything to do with Joey decord and now he’s there and he’s just he’s making the most out of an opportunity that not many people thought he would even get so to see him go in and get the first shut out in the history of the outdoor classic or the
Winter Classic and then be so like genuine after when he’s talking about how much he appreciates being there it’s just a really cool story and and and forget the story and his career Arc and how how it’s going Seattle’s getting going again they were trash and they
Still have a long way to go but without him I don’t know if they’re even talking about possibly making the playoffs now they could kind of set their sights on continuing this run and trying to get in the mix a little bit more yeah so I mean
Not a not a great start to the season for them and I would have wrote them off other than this 10 game stretch that they’ve been on and since he’s taken over since gu Bow’s injury I want to say he’s 9- one before the end of the game
Because we were talking about the stats in the midst of the broadcast uh 1.71 goals against average in that stretch and like a 945 save percentage so he’s just been on this absolute tear right and like you said without him I don’t think that they’re within Striking
Distance of that wild card as they sit right now they’re one point out of a playoff spot keep in mind though they have dealt with injuries they the burkovski was not in the lineup that’s a huge power forward piece two time Stanley Cup champion with that leadership in the locker room uh Everly
Went down with like a laceration at some point he didn’t miss like a crazy amount of time and then um M Miss some time mccan missed some time and then Schwarz who’s guy who’s won a Stanley Cup and a bit of a honey badger but I think just
Overall with this little run they’ve been on and with them getting their guys back healthy and starting to find that rhythm of having that four that 4 second line mentality where you can just roll out these waves and waves and waves and maintain that pace of play like shift in
Shift out man I I mean I had them making playoffs in the beginning of the year I was doubting that after that horrible start but buddy they’re looking good and as far as he’s concerned um uh dord cool to hear all the chants he said that he’d been getting some chant at the
Climate pledge Arena but to get it an arena you know three four times the size of that at the outdoor game that’s a that’s a memory he’s never going to forget he was saying uh Biz he was saying like they were writing about how there’s
Never been a shout out in one of these games and he was mentioning like the sight lines are so different with not having the fans right against the glass so that at the beginning was a little confusing and then also the whole like there’s a chance you know eel hit the
Post whoever hit the post and then you don’t hear the reaction for like 2 to 3 seconds so I think at the beginning of the game it’s probably pretty awkward for goalies maybe one of the reasons nobody’s ever pitched to shut out but the save he made late in the Third on
Eel dude like what an absolute stamp on that game by him because at that point it was over unfortunately the game wasn’t too exciting it it was still fun to watch because of the whole atmosphere but the game was whatever but then you know you want him to get that shout out
He robs eel with a sick glove save it was like the perfect way to end it for him but it was just impressive to kind of see how appreciative he was after about the crowd support like you could tell it meant a lot to him oh big time
And then uh I I texted Greg Powers is his coach at ASU and in his first ever game in college hockey they played at nordre Dame and he got shelled for nine and after the second prowers came up to him he said hey do you want to come out
And he’s like no and that’s just kind of that like that vasileski type mentality where it’s like no I’m not bailing out on my teammates sure as two years later he ends up leading him to the their first ever tournament bid where that was the first
Time that ASU had ever been in the NCA Frozen Four tournament I don’t know end I don’t know how far they went in that one but you mentioned like the it’s kind of fitting like this this new NHL Franchise and kind of Reviving its season where you had this you know
Non-traditional hockey Market NCAA team where he helped bring him and revive him to that you know the tournament for the first time so it’s a it’s a really cool story I hope it keeps going and you know you saw the the the magical run they they had last year coming one goal away
From the Conference Finals in only the second year of creation well who knows man maybe Joey decords the answer and he goes on this insane magical run where with goalies I mean was it was it SC was it Scott Leighton the one year with Michael Leon or Michael Leighton with the Flyers
Like how many times have we seen just a goalie come out of nowhere and and save a team season and then go on a run Hamburglar remember the Hamburglar the Hamburglar when flurry got injured the year we went to The Cup finals and lost to Detroit the team I was on Tai Conlin
Comes in and for 30 games I think just went on a complete ter goal tending is so bizarre we’ talked about it all year every team needs one now third the the third string goalies that they don’t even really have but all of a sudden guys are coming up that were third on
The depth chart they’re saving team Seasons it’s the most bizarre position you can’t really plan ahead because every guy we see have a good year and sign a deal it’s like all of a sudden the next year half of them are playing like so it’s just a crapshoot but
Um the other thing I took away from the game and edzo and uh Kenny and and Bush were talking about it Adam Larson on Seattle might be one of the most underrated defenseman in the league I was I was chatting with him at that we
Were at a bar last night called what is it Queens alley good guy unbel buddy their their team that’s that’s one of the other things I was going to mention never underestimate a group of guys that loves each other and just have a great group they were all out celebrating
Maddie Bane’s Beauty Vince done man missile Beauty leading the team and scoring as a d man talk to Adam lson uh guau uh Alexia like they these guys are just great dudes and they love each other and they love playing for one another uh yamamoto’s another
One but I’ll hand it back over and I’ll get into that stuff after no I just I was you’re so impressed like the size of Larson he’s never going to put up a ton of points but defensively like a true top four and he’s playing on he’s
Playing with Vince dun and they’re just those two together I think they’re playing together right biz for for part of the game at least the parts that I were when I was not uppercut and buoy and and and and trying to avoid any as much as possible but an
A an awesome player shut down dman and and I think like having him there makes a huge difference and also their team well this year hasn’t gone as they’d hoped but last year was this amazing run beating Colorado they have like eight kids I think in the world juniors their
Prospect pools phenomenal that’s not even including Shane Wright who’s taken his time that’s okay we’ve talked about that he’s not going to get rushed up to the NHL but it is a super bright future for the Kraken and then to hear you say about how much the fans love the team
And how much the city’s buying in it’s an awesome Story and Another example of of a new NHL team just thriving immediately uh we got a chance to hang out with burkovski and uh tanv turbo Brandon tanv is like he’s buddy he’s one of the biggest Beauties behind
The scenes in the National Hockey League like if he was in a bigger Market you guys would see his personality flourish even more but he I think he’s the the emotional get rid of that guy he’s the emo uh did they have to or did was it I
Think they they put him up for the for the draft yeah he’s yeah he’s the Sandpaper they could definitely use right now but they got him and Yamamoto on the fourth line so we’re talking about a team that has depth and that was another cool story so Yamamoto obviously
Wanted to go back to the Oilers they gave him his opportunity he was a first rounder there loved it there but when he knew that wasn’t going to be a reality he told his agent do everything in your power to bring me back to my home home
State right cuz he played down the road and Spokan that’s where he’s from and I got to meet his old man oh my God his old man’s a Beauty too he was the drunkest guy at that Queen Queen’s alley or were but not On’s couch
In his hotel room right now not not in an Ray way just being an absolute Beauty with the greasiest goatee you’ve ever seen in your life and so to for him to for to say that and to get to come back and and play where really his heart is
That’s another cool story that I found from the game too so I’m I’m finding myself super obsessed with the Seattle Team all of a sudden and alls it took was for me to come to this outdoor Winter Classic and and kind of get to know what the bread and butter of this
Team is did did you see the prank that matd Ben played on L and I guess his his girlfriend or his wife was cutting his hair recently and and while they were doing it she took a picture of him with a wicked bow cut like he looked like
Dumb dumb and dum there and B got a copy of it and made t-shirts for the whole team so when he walked to the room every guy in the locker room had a t-shirt with lass would like a ugly bull cut picture on it and and baners is a um you
Know it’s been a little bit of a struggle right the old sophomore slump things pretty legit in the NHL and and I think you could see his second half kind of explode if this team gets going all of a sudden it’s been a slow start he
Didn’t score his first 10 or 11 games maybe more so I I think I think second half you’re going to see a different baners the one closer to last year and that that would just Propel this offense even more so I love hearing like this is the coolest thing about these winter
Classics and they maybe get old for viewers on TV it we’ve always said they’re made for the people that are at the game and like just you guys getting out there for the first time chicklet has been been in Seattle and like being all into the team and the fan base it’s
A great thing so I’m rooting for him to get it going um as far as baners too just quickly R like but you’re you know they we talk about the having four second lines they don’t really have that you know copar that was there for him to
Kind of be groomed by so all of a sudden I mean in that division you’re being thrown to the wol as that first line Center being in your second year we’re talking about look at look at the centerman that the Vegas gold Knights have so you’re playing a game like that
Even if you’re getting the third line matchup as mie bener you can’t disappear and get a few La uh how about the Oilers I mean how about Vancouver now so the list goes on and on and on how deep and Powerful the western conference is I mean Colorado I know
They’re in the other division but I mean it’s a tough tough tough tough lineup to escape so as far as Maddie I agree with you I think he’s going to have a big second half but I mean G give the kid a little breathing room here he’s only in
His second year and he’s going up against these monsters night in and night out yeah from the fan perspective B I thought I thought everything was great the weather was perfect the they had the roof open the you know what is it the retractable roof and people gee
What were they on line like two hours before the game there had to be tens of thousands of people in line just waiting to get in the building I think just to take on the atmosphere you can tell like you said earlier people are genely happy
To hear every time they come up to me or Posh or G how is you having a good time is everything great like they were making sure that we water R right here try a water put in this I hey um uh the other thing was so it might have been um
It was right after Christmas like 27th 28th the uh outdoor game I played in in Buffalo was on TV I’m like Ryder come here this is me I swear to God I played in the NHL come here he said this is so slow I’m like yeah no but but the
Funny thing was around the arena then it was like you could see all the wooden planks and you could see like it just didn’t didn’t have like what it now looks like yesterday with the ship and they’re all walking around the wooden ship they got the fake uh Kraken monster
In the background they got the little rink for the kids it was like on TV what it’s turned into and granted that I mean that was 14 years ago now but it’s so incredible compared to what the first one had watching on TV and just seeing all the garbage basically outside the
The actual rink so that was pretty cool besides the fact that my son still doesn’t believe I played that that was one of the points I wanted to hammer home like the NHL and what done with these outdoor games like they have they have blown these things up these are the
Things that I most look forward to going to now and to see all the people that it takes to make that thing operate they put so much time and energy in this and all these Hands-On deck behind the scenes with the NHL like Steve may is a
Big name who ends up like he he actually missed the game unfortunately he had a um um you know family member pass away and he’s a big component to the NHL and how they operate but I mean he’s there he he was there like two weeks ahead of
Time missing time away from his family around the holidays to making sure this whole thing’s organized among all the other people so a round of applause to the NHL to making these so enjoyable I I we were at a Italian place eating last night and I just ran into some R random
Seattle guy not even a big hockey fan but he had all the cracken gear on I said oh did you go to the game he goes he goes yeah I said how how did you enjoy it he goes Buddy he goes that was easily easily the greatest sporting
Event I’ve ever been to I paid $200 and the amount of uh respect they showed to all the prior athletes and the the the show that they put on he goes I got 20 times my money’s worth I feel like I stole that ticket so to hear that about
A guy going to an event and how much it impacted him I was you know it made me a little bit more fired up and I couldn’t agree more so round of they announce next year’s no but there’s rumors and we can talk about that right now get it
Going rumor boy get it going I’m here in Chicago again Wrigley Field Conor Bard I yeah but you say shocker buddy but you get to see Connor Bard at the Winter Classic like no it makes it it it it makes sense once they got him this was
Kind of everyone’s complaint that all of a sudden the Blackhawks will be shoved down your throat but I tweeted out over the break when he scored that fraking goal I think it was I don’t know if I tweeted after yeah it was after his like lacrosse goal um I I will watch Chicago
Play now because of him I I like watching them play last year I wouldn’t have watched them no matter what one player and now it’s like all right I’m buying in I’ll watch every game that they’re on TV so I get it it’s just the fact that I think Chicago already has
The most of any team right well it makes sense one of the biggest TV markets now the other rumor buzzing around is the U arena is that what they call it the U at Ohio State University is that how it’s the is the Horseshoe is it the Horseshoe
I’m not a college guy here the Columbus would be hosting and I think the other team would be Detroit now Columbus doesn’t get a lot of stuff like this and I think that they considering how crazy they are the the sports fans there they would sell it out I think that that
Would be cool to see as well and especially with the way that fanti is popping off now too I don’t know how many people are tuning into Columbus games but because Bard’s doing what he’s doing he’s taking a lot of the headlines fanti is lighting the lamp as of as of
Late as well you could do Ohio State Michigan Tu biz on that and that would be perfect for college as well what do you mean NCAA game yeah if they play if they play at Ohio State Ohio State’s biggest rival Michigan Michigan Ohio State at the Horseshoe like that would
Be banana lands and the NHL can capitalize on it so they would do one day after the next yeah I mean it’s like when they went to Fenway Park and they were doing college games at Fenway Park as well like they I think it’s best when
Like not it’s not just one game being played in these Arenas you can get three or four days like when we were in Raleigh North Carolina they had the two Club hockey teams UNCC versus NC State playing out there like I think as many games as you can get on these outdoor
Rinks like make it worth it for everyone I love that I love that do you think do you think that those two College hockey teams could sell it out in a second if there’s any two schools that could do it it would be those two so that would
Easily be the biggest attendance in college hockey history well Michigan State and Michigan played at the big house a few years ago outdoors and it was I think I mean they filled that Arena I mean fil filled that Stadium that’s over 100,000 so if the build that
Up for a college hockey game oh yeah do you have are we talking like Trump and auration type sellout here are we talking can I see a picture of this yeah I’ll get you over 110,000 wow that would be that would be massive so either I
Think it’s a win-win either way um off the board pick I would like to see ASU in Tempe in the coyotes get one I think that would be a a great place and in the winter time there at night time it cools down it’s dry I think the ice would be
Perfect so they had one in La they could do one at Tempe they they did one at the Cotton bow yeah did ball we were down there freezing that game too yeah it was we saw the greatest kick out of a game walk a shame of all time by Cory I think
We’ve uh stroked Seattle off quite a bit here as far as Vegas is concerned they had the think right now they listen I talked to Gary Lawless he made a great point he goes Biz they’ve played 38 games in the first two and a half months
Of the season they start out 110 And1 the best start for a Stanley Cup champion they were bound to have a little bit of a setback in a sense of energy lack of practice time and also Aiden Hill’s injured right now and so is Shay Theodore a big a big engine that
Drives offense from the back end and they’re missing him right now listen excuses I’m not worried at all I’m not worried one bit we they have they have 44 games in the last three and a half months of the season so they’ll be able to rest up and get back in their
Game this this one was all about Seattle I think it was a perfect timing win for them it was great for the fan base but as you just said with I wouldn’t be batting and on this team is still dangerous and they would still easily be in my top five cup favorites
If not top three yeah I mean nobody in the conference has more points than the only two teams have more points right now are Boston and the ranges so despite this little bit of Hiccup lately B Vegas is still in a pretty goddamn good position right now for sure uh one other
Note too we did mention chicklets TV we did make a little visit down to Pike Place uh the famous location in Seattle where they do a little fish toss and so we won’t spoil anything we’ll get to that a little bit later we when the
Video is going to drop GE do we have a date uh when the video is drop for the yeah it should drop next week uh but wait you’ll love it Ra was trolling Seahawks fans I don’t think the younger generation really understood what he was
Doing but I I’ll just tell it now like he asked everyone pass or run pass or run he was just going up to random people pass or run pass or run and it was rattling some people they still clearly aren’t over that but the Vlog will be awesome chicklets TV it should
Be out next week they’re like you should have passed the blunt instead of hitting it dude get out of my face with that microphone you could tell right away if they were like old enough though they would just gutted but yeah it was a great time and also shout out to Amanda
Jack and my friend MO from home I hadn’t seen them in years so it was nice to catch up with them way out here in Seattle but moving right along Biz y Leafs uh stumbling a bit of late dropped five out of six they still third in the
Atlantic with 41 points uh but they sent goalie ilas Samson off down to the HL M’s hoping to get his confidence and his game back uh he’s 52 and six but with an 862 save percentage 394 goals against not too pretty uh they recalled Dennis hild Toby from the AHL he’s been pretty
Good for them this year 75 and three with a 22 uh 9919 sa% there’s a couple shout outs uh Biz this a little hiccup in the road for you boys or what what’s what’s going on here well first of all I’ve been hitting up all the redded
Threads uh from Leaf nation and this Dennis HBY he might be the next he might be the next vasileski that’s what I’m hearing I’m hearing vzna aspirations so I’ve said this all along it’s just a matter of time before one of these goalies we’ve never heard of in the
Organization that comes from the the depths of the miners and comes and saves so I’m not worried one bit this happens every year we stumble a little bit out of the gate everybody freaks out and then Midway through the season right before Allstar and around the holidays yep another hiccup who gives a
They’re going to make playoffs everything’s going to work itself out it’s our year I’m not hitting the panic button I mean it does it correlate at the find that the time that I stop paying attention and I go on vacation that all this chaos happens and they
Send their number one goalie or what they thought was going to be their number one goalie down to the miners listen he can go season a little bit get some easy Puck shot on him get his confidence back and if this Dennis held Toby doesn’t turn out to be vasileski
Like I’m predicting big deal samsonov will come on and save the show and if not him we still got Joseph wall who another guy who has vzna aspirations as I read from the the Tonto Maple Leaf’s Reddit threads and he’s got the high ankle sprain that flurry had when Tai
Conlin came in so if they can get somebody covering him and Wall comes back wall is nasty he’s Nast the only problem is there is a little bit of an issue in terms of staying healthy for him you’ve kind of seen these Nicks and you mean every leaf skull tender yeah
Serious in the last seven years the Leafs are fine I just I just kind of I respected Sheldon Keefe I know it’s a tough spot but he finally like after kind of bringing up that the team needed to be better in front of Samson off over
And over finally I think the other night he said this is the NHL like we need a save like they played great in Columbus that their offense was clicking and he couldn’t stop a beach ball on the goal that Fant Tilly scores it’s it’s 35 fet
Away no screen it beats him it’s like at some point the coach had to be honest and it sucks to do that I’m sure he he ended up saying yeah I think Brad tree living will do whatever he can to try to help us out right now because we can’t
Basically we can’t continue to put him out there like I feel I feel bad because he’s lost his game like this is the confidence and this and this is when you go into uh practice and you’re playing well in practice and then you go into
The game you give up the first shot it’s like it doesn’t matter how it’s going any where other than the games and for some reason this kid is not in the right mental space right now and can’t figure it out and the Leafs are kind of at some
Point have to be willing to say all right you’re going to the miners and you knew nobody was going to claim him so now you just hope this hell to be I mean he’s played this is his first season in North America he was good in Sweden last
Year and he’s enormous but we’ll see you throw him to the fire it’s it’s the NHL man it’s not going to be that simple even though the AHL has gone well for him so far I got R boys for the Lea oh I was just going to say the only
Concern I have right now is this William neander rumor boy situation and if it’s any I got rumor boys and this is Big Time capital r capital B rumor boys like take this as serious as basically nothing that doesn’t make sense take this not serious at all I’ve been told
He was offered 8 times 11.25 and he wants to take it and his dad’s telling him you got to get some more wow rumor boy stuff rumor boy stuff that is the deal posto just got posto is a better player than nander Biz Biz you
Know you know you know the net you know the Netflix series that they do with the F1 drivers they need to do one on they need to do it on the Leaf’s dads imagine Paul Marner in the mix Mr neander let’s get Poppy’s old man in the mix
Pablo I mean at what point though you know what you got to make your own decision though as a man you know what I mean listen listen I’m taking this like so not serious that this there’s probably 1% chance put St in it but but if they’re offering them 11 time uh
Eight times 11.25 the postr deal that that’s Insanity to me that you wouldn’t take it that’s why I don’t really believe he’s been offered that because posto will NE neander is a great player Posto’s another level up my opinion I watch the games I know this year
Probably a lot closer but prior history and past and like what pasta’s done compared to ninder if you’re getting the same deal that David Posh has you take it you sign the paper unless which is why I don’t think it’s true say that yeah well so yeah right now Toronto
With Martin Jones and Dennis hild deai and hey Martin Jones what he did last year for uh Seattle I mean he kept that team afloat last year when they were going through some serious injuries helped them get into the playoffs so we’ll see what happens with him up in
Toronto uh shifting over to the World Juniors wh I know you’ve been back on the East Coast time and staying on top of this a little bit more than us out here what are you seeing uh I know today uh Slovakia get knocked out by the fins
In overtime it was a bum for me I had a 50 to1 ticket on the slovakians but what’s going on lately wh it’s such a fun tournament to watch and a Shucks Canada lost now I’ll get ahead of this I’ll get ahead of this if Canada like
Every year pretty much in the world juniors if they had their actual roster they’re going to be the favorites I think the only player that the United States is missing is Logan kolie obviously that’s an enormous impact this us team’s loaded though without him Canada is missing a b a boatload and I
Mean when it’s Conor Bard being the main one it’s like it’s kind of hard to chirp their junior team considering I think there’s probably five guys that would be on the team that that that aren’t aren’t able to be there Shane Wright could still be there for Christ’s sake so an
Unfortunate loss for Canada they never looked right all tournament though like I watched their games it just and apparently like in reading online they left some guys off the team that really should have been there one of them is that Bradley do kid from Maine who’s disgusting I don’t know what the hell
They were thinking Le leaving him off celebrini he did what he was supposed to do he looked great I there was probably times where Canadian fans thought he maybe could have brought a little bit more but overall top end player and then this other kid this um Jagger ferus I
Guess he ended up getting brought over there after they lost to Sweden two nothing but off the Hop they didn’t take him he’s lighting up the WHL so I don’t really know what went down the game against Czech today their goalie ended up making this incredible save when it
Was two nothing and they went back down and made it 2-1 ended up tying it up but the first two goals to go down two nothing to check were kind of weak one was 5old on the ice from the point little bit of a screen the other one was
A wrist shot that I thought could have been stopped kind of the same goal Fant Tilly scored on Samson off Columbus Toronto game um but you know even as an American fan who loves seeing Canada lose I wanted them in the semis you know this us team though it’s got to be one
Of the best world junior teams they’ve ever had y they got they got players on up front this Gavin Brinley kid is so good so Dynamic Columbus stole this kid in the second round absolutely stole him I don’t know how he does it go in the first round he’s smaller he’s so quick
He’s Dynamic he lit up Michigan last year and somehow he’s not picked in the first round and Columbus gets him with his best buddy Fant Tilly going second overall so that’s a player I can’t wait to watch in the NHL he’ll be there soon enough but this what are your thoughts on G
Kid all all week he’s sick he is like the fact like this kid wasn’t getting past Chris drry man he got to New York in the first round and he was probably sitting there laughing I got a kid with a hockey IQ like this with the genes of
Having a father who played in the NHL so obviously he knows the game yeah excuse me with that hiccup um I think I think when you have hockey IQ like this kid and the skills it’s just a no-brain pick him in the first round and Drury
Saw it that that line from BC is a joke Will Smith the San Jose Sharks uh Leonard Leonard is like uh Biz who’s he like in the N he’s kind of like a like a TJ oosi Prime like a Bulldog dude he’ll run you over plays on the inside that’s
A vicious line that Boston College has the fact they’re lighting up the the world juniors in they they’re a college line I have the hiccups now if you can’t can’t you can’t tell this is a disas this is an absolute disaster this is what they call the Zin hiccups
Occasionally no free ads sometimes you put his in it and you get the hiccups I’m going to talk through him and annoy every person driving driving in their car this is how much I love the world juniors Rucker mccordi Winnipeg’s pick I talked about when we met him when he was buckled at
The draft seeing all his buddies this kid’s a big old Beast he’s a stallion too he looks about 63 jacked he’s the captain Team USA I love the fact that they will not play Sweden until the gold medal I assume Sweden gets past Finland even though Finland
Beat him in the um or does US play Finland sorry I don’t know who plays who in the semis now but I believe you’ll see us vers Sweden Sweden’s up right now against Switzerland I think they take care of business there the Swedish player I need to talk about holy
Boys have you seen this axel sandine pelica oh what a name holy he is a defenseman first round pick by the Detroit Red Wings they grabbed another sweet on the back the eyes are plan I said him I said him in the pre before the tournament started I said keep an
Eye on this kid he’s going to be unreal Scout Grell he’s disgusting he’s got nine goals already this year in the shl he’s going to probably be able to break the record for an under 19 defenseman goals I think it’s like 11 or 12 he might break the break the points record
That I leave um uh Victor Hedman had over there it’s like 21 points he is a game breaker he runs that power play skates like the wind awesome and Merles actually interviewed his dad uh right before the this quarterfinal matchup as Sweden goes up two nothing there we go
This Swedish team um talking to Shan horoff he’s a Detroit Red Wings assistant GM he’s over there right now he said it’s the probably the best Swedish team they at least in a long time that they’ve had at the world juniors and the fact it’s in gothenberg
The crowd looks nuts so I imagine how about how about them inducting Hank too to open things up cuz Hank’s from gothenberg so Henrik Lundquist does a ceremonial face off gets inducted in the double IHF Hall of Fame just an ultimate put on a te for the swedes if if
You’re telling me that this team’s that good they’re awesome and um they got Nicholas havid the former Atlanta Thrasher two of his boys playing on the team against the goalie and defenseman so it’s been a really fun tournament to watch I love the world juniors like I
Remember I remember being 15 years old and like that was like I just want to play in the world juniors I want to play in the World Juniors and now like I got the chance to play in two of them one I barely played my first year in Czech the
Second year I got to play a ton we lost to Canada in the semis Jeff waa broke our hearts so now I’m always into it every year I love seeing the prospects I’m Hockey DB and Elite prospects the whole game yeah I see your kid and make
A nice play oh who’s this a second rounder uh there’s a kid from um from Czech that Vegas took in the second round big Center he could be a hell of a player Mike Johnson was talking about him today on the broadcast but it’s just a great tournament I think I think fans
Love seeing their future players and and I’ve had a blast watching I felt really bad for Slovakia with an awesome pool round and then they lost an incredible game it was early this morning against Finland they tied it up with like the minute to go and then lost in OT but
Slovakia an amazing thing seeing what their programs turned into and become and it’s just awesome seeing all this Talent out there that Talent is just it’s gross dude I I after Ryder’s games I you know there’s always games like there’s a a 10-year-old game after one
Of his games I’m watching I’m like these kids are so good I will say this about a lot of 10-year-olds and out there they don’t pass the puck like kids don’t pass the puck like they used to I know that sounds crazy like literally every kid’s
Like trying to go end end they’re so skilled that half the time they can but it makes sense that moving up you see how good these kids at 10 or 11 now you get to world juniors you get to these 18-year-olds in the NHL the talent is
Like nothing we’ve ever seen before and it’s only going to continue to get better man and and Whit you mentioned Merles was getting interviews over there we actually have a vlog coming out of Merl’s time at the world juniors as well so he’s going to the game Biz he goes in
The morning he cabs over the other rink then he cabs back to the first rink with a third quarterfinals then he caps back to the to the other rig for the fourth game and he’ll be at the semi-finals and the finals as well I guess he got a
Bunch of reactions from Canadian players so that’s tough for those guys so it’s uh chaos now he’s the villain he was just getting under the Canadian skin yeah he was there at the live at the crime scene after Chia is that how you say it Cheta no that’s it’s C CIA like I
Think it’s czechia but they but most Czechs who reach out say just say Czech Republic still I don’t think a lot of them really czechia CH yeah prob the wrong guy to ask um so I’ll just is a different country in a different part of the area it’s not it’s Czech not Chia
But B what about war talk what about the that brutal call dude when they when they tossed out keki five five minutes in the gate I mean that was pretty standard hit no a lot of people seem to think so uh one of the funnier things
That happens in the group chat is Army who watches World Juniors and just about officiating because you know Army’s old school Army was the guy who Army was the guy where when the forward would come in his defensive Zone and he would round the net he would
Leave his weak side defenseman and come put the guy through the end wall so Army’s maybe not the best bar to set as as far as what should be allowed KN out like seven people playing hockey he might lead the league in Knockouts in the history of NHL hockey he’s he was
The Scott Steven of forwards but you just kind of maybe don’t remember uh but uh yeah he was losing it and then obviously we end up seeing the hit this is off the opening puck drop uh less than 20 seconds into the game Conor geeki he ends up just making a beline
Now what flabbergasts me is the amount of dumb idiots online that will say no I it is a dirty hit head was the first point of contact it’s like this is like this is like lawyers reading the fine print and just trying to Stir It Up in order to try to win a
Case it’s like that is his ice just as much as it is that German defenseman’s ice so the minute that German defenseman’s gets that pass and heads up ice with his head down and he exposes himself like that he could just skate into him and put him into Oblivion
The angle of his body in which fact that his head’s a little bit more forward it’s like that’s never going to change that’s how you bend your knees and you skate forward so where the is he’s supposed to go do you want him to bend his knees even more his elbow
Was right beside his body and he laid him out with a clean hit and all these online who want to change the way that hockey’s played forever and change it into the and they say oh that’s the way that it’s officiated now it’s like no that’s the way that you
Wanted officiated now well the IHF like does officiate like that I don’t agree with it but basically can’t hit anyone it is a bit of a clown show and we know that International reing is a little bit more different but there’s also a a shortage of having competent refs and
Refs that have been in those types of situations and who have played at high levels I mean the NHL alone has a hard time finding enough of them who can handle that type of pace and have played at a high enough level to where they’re not blowing calls like that but
That one was a embarrassment and they had the ability to review it they did and they kept with their initial call so an absolute joke let’s hope those guys got a talking to because if that happen in like a gold medal game and all of a sudden it teams short and
Then they go down a couple goals because they get this five minute major called on them Absolute nonsense so let’s hope those guys are part was the slow motion like GE geeky runs them over the the whistle blows and he’s just slow motion what the for exact why is
That a penalty I felt his frustration so they it’s almost like these new school people who about that stuff never want any type of onus on the player skating with the puck yes it’s just if you got it in the middle of the ice and you’re in the trolley tracks
You’re fair game baby you fortunately he was not given any supplementary discipline it was just that one game so uh boys I think we should probably send it over to one of our two guests today oh what’s up Biz before we do I didn’t get a chance to thank the the whole TNT
Staff for for what they do and what they provide like all the people behind the scenes setting up that the the table that we sit at all the shots all the fun bits that we do there are so many hands on deck just like we talked about with

Now all righty it’s time for our next guest this shop shooting Wisconsin native was playing for the US national team development program when he was selected 15th overall at the 2019 NHL draft after two years at Wisconsin in winning the hoba B Hobie Baker award and a world junior Championship he joined
The pro ranks and had 12 points in 20 games during Montreal’s improbable run to the 2021 Stanley Cup Final additionally he’s 0 And1 in San bagas it’s a great to Welcome to the spit and chickens podcast Cole Coffield how’s it going brother hey guys good to be here
Thanks for having me GL to have you sorry monreal fans are going crazy right now crazy for the all right did you know that this guy’s nickname the and you know who gave it to him uh who who exactly I was was on the golf course
Weber one of the meanest guys to ever play we don’t need to go into why you got the nickname but uh you can just leave it up to the imagination of all the the listeners right now so it’s great to finally get you on and I think
The last time when we had you in the bger you said boys let me get a few games under my belt before I come on and sling it and hey buddy incredible start to your career I think you were what one of five Habs to score 60 goals before
150 games played so congratulations on a great start to your career BR thank you appreciate it how are you liking monreal like is it tough to go anywhere you’re recognized all the time uh what are your experiences so far in terms of living in the city um I mean it’s been great I
Think uh I think I’ve lived three different places and um every place is is a good time there’s there’s always things to do obviously um it’s tough with getting recognized kind of everywhere you go but um I think when guys come to the city they they kind of
Realize how special it is and um I know all my friends love coming here as a as a road team so um a lot of good things to do here why are you moving around so much is it because the paparazzi get you uh no I’ve lived uh I lived in two
Different uh parts of downtown and um I guess I know you want to see something different not just stay in the same place all year and and right now you’re currently living with Christian dvorac so you’re basically talking to yourself every day the either myself for the wall so um
Yeah no he’s he’s great he’s just quiet guy um you know we get along pretty well I think I’m the energy and he’s just you know keeping it low key so uh it’s it’s a lot of fun we have a good time Cole what did you know about the city of
Montreal before you moved there honestly not much I never I never uh visited here for any tournaments or or been here on vacation so the first time I came here was was my introduction and uh it was during Co which you know was kind of tough but um these past couple years
Have been pretty fun learn any french at all uh just a little bit um don’t lie Cole you don’t know any french not yet not yet no but uh it’s it’s a tough language they speak kind of fast here so we just got to look out for the pon
Wars Mercy you go on a date with a French girl are you just what Google translating and passing the phone back and forth or what like how does that all go no chance I think I’m I’m speaking English uh as much as I can and um you
Know I’ll learn sometime so we’ll see all right oh buddy I I’m curious about the season so far first off because the expectations weren’t high at least from the outside noise I’m sure you guys had your own ideas going to the season but overall I would say it’s been a pretty
Good start I I I don’t know what’s St Lou saying to you guys and and how’s the team feeling as of right now as we come up on Christmas yeah I mean obviously it’s uh every year is new um but you know with Marty I think you know three
Years in we’re starting to figure some things out a little bit and kind of getting the groundwork set so um it’s been you know not right start I think you know you always want more but um I think where we’re at as a team and and
The youth um I think we’re all kind of finding ourselves and younger guys are are starting to pull their weight and and kind of figure things out so I think uh we’re turning in the right direction but obviously Marty and Kent and Jeff they all have uh you know the best
Interest in us and um you I think we’re we’re a couple years out but you know we’re we’re on the right Trend uh does coach have a little extra insight for you Cole you know being an undersized guy like yourself yeah I mean it’s it’s obviously pretty special to to have that
Guy as a coach I was pretty pretty shocked when it happened and you know Trevor was the first guy to tell me that he I think he knew before anybody and he he told me that uh Marty was gonna be the coach and I just I had to like stop
Driving and be like what are you talking about so it’s obviously pretty special um you know he’s a teacher of the game he’s a learner um you know he has a passion for this for this game and um you know trying to figure things out so it’s it’s pretty fun obviously you know
A lot of things I can relate to based on you know his size and and the way he played but um just watching Clips with him it’s cool to see it’s more of a discussion than anything but it’s cool to see just his ideas and what he thinks
And U it’s more conversation than anything but a lot of teaching goes on it’s it’s a lot of fun well that clip went viral right when uh when he was working with you and I think you scored on the exact play you guys were working on in practice that really Amplified the
Conversation so you’re saying like what like weekly you’ll sit down with them with the iPad or or the computer and he’ll talk to you about position is it just like you said more of a conversation how often is this happening uh yeah once a week probably minimum I
Think um you know every every time it’s it’s you know a couple of the same things or just reminders but I think for me it’s it’s all about you know learning how to play without the pock and you know we always talk about most of my
Clips are me without the puck kind of Rivals and you know he always says don’t play on your roller blades you know get shoes on and um obviously stopping and starting and and finding timing is is pretty special and important in this game so um it’s more about you know kind
Of reading everything else on the ice rather than just the puck and and where is it going to go and obviously just playing in the future Cole I saw an article in the athletic uh were you really skating at 2 years old your your brother was skating a few years ahead
You they took him bumped him up to the next team and you want to skated Too Your Mother wasn’t happy about it but you were actually out there at that young of an age yeah uh I don’t know why she was mad I was out of her hands
During that time so um yeah I mean that’s what they told me I I think uh you know having a brother two years older than you was pretty cool and um you you can always want to try and be like him or better than him so we had a
Good relationship but I think yeah it started pretty early like that or something but uh pretty fun you know you’ve played in the NHL I think this is your third full season now but what’s been the biggest adjustment for you coming from call and you’ve scored wherever you’ve been from the time you
Were you know a young teenager but in terms of the NHL the the best league in the world what’s been the biggest adjustment for you or or continues to be the biggest adjustment um I mean obviously every team kind of starts to figure you out as
You go so you could play in college or or Junior and stuff and you you might not see the same teams or the same players every time you play so now it’s just all about trying to be consistent and you know you start to figure out
Teams and how they play and and how you gotta kind of change your game or you know your plan for that team you know every night so it’s I think it’s just it’s a lot to keep up on it’s it’s obviously a lot of fun to to kind of
Find ways to get around that stuff but um I think consistency and just trying to be you know the best you can be every nights and obviously it’s a tough League playing against the best players in the world but um I think just finding ways
To to kind of learn to beat beat teams uh in certain ways and you know that’s what makes it so fun I was going to ask you about uh the F1 this summer who’ you end up going with did you bring zis that must have been incredible why
You shaking your head I can’t ask you about your personal life you guys were putting all over Instagram we uh yeah I brought uh I brought the two right people with me I think you know Jack and Trevor had a good time um you know it’s it’s well
Liked by them they give good ratings and uh we had a great time we also had dvo and uh Chris Weidman were there too so um it’s a great spot in the summer I don’t get to spend as much time as you know I wish year but um it’s a lot of
Fun in the summer and you know that Fun’s obviously pretty cool I heard that’s why verbi held back on Z’s contract is because he was hanging out with you at F1 I’m serious I get all the dirt behind the scenes brother what what you laughing for I’m serious yeah probably
Was how but serious question how how like how do you deal with the the media is it is it hard to leave it um at the rink when maybe things aren’t going so well like is it is it that Amplified in Montreal or do you kind of kind of block
That out maybe during the season no social media like how do you do it for as as a young guy yeah I mean everybody kind of talks about it is you know you got to be there to kind of believe how crazy it is and I think that’s for sure
True um I mean it’s hard to even when you’re not looking for it um it kind of hits you right in the forehead whether you want to see it or not so like I mean I think you know I went through for a couple years you go through your whole
Career here I’m sure but um you know slap’s going through you know kind of a tough time right now and made is all over in one game and then he’s the best the next game so it’s kind of like over but you know it’s obviously pretty special to play here where where people
Are so passionate and uh you know there’s no other team like this one with with the fan base and and you know how much they care so um it has its ups and downs but uh you know you try to just stay away from that stuff has there been
Anything you’ve said in English that’s been translated in French and you’re like no no no I never said that uh nothing too bad that I’ve had to you know really really think about but but um yeah I mean language barri is kind of tough kind of listen to their
Questions sometimes in English and um you know some guys on our team are French and and do their meeting in uh in French and it’s um know it’s a lot but uh you know they always asking you are you learning you know are you are you interested like I don’t know it’s it’s
Crazy here so when you when you went through that that tough time you mentioning a couple years ago and they and they sent you down and then St Louis got the job like before even that down in the miners what were you telling yourself was there
Was there kind of a a time of a little bit of depression when you got sent down you’re a little bummed out or were you able to just kind of kick yourself in the ass and say all right I got to get going like take me through your mental
State during that time I mean you’re so young first year it must have been tough to go through yeah it was It was obviously you know something that I never really went through um so for me it was it was something new and um you
Know you kind of expect it when you have a goal in 30 games and in the start of a season when you know you just were at the standing cup finals and the kind of expectations are still there for for success and you know I don’t think I was
Playing my best um know it’s tough with a shorter offseason but um you know I got sent down and you know I didn’t really see it coming as much as I you know should have but um you can’t really prepare yourself for something like that
And you I just went down there with a good attitude obviously um you don’t want to ever have to to go through something like that again and so that just kind of you know motivates me and you know I think about that sometimes when things AR going well just try to
Work your way out it and um you know you find Success Through failure Cole during that run to the Cup Final did it almost feel surreal you just in college a few months before that now you’re playing for the Stanley Cup yeah I mean honestly it was it was
Probably better for me um you know you start to play in the NHL you got so much emotion and Juice running through you that you’re just like what’s going on but you know some of the playoff games just felt like it was you know your first couple games so you were just you
Know so excited you didn’t really think about the moment and um it went by pretty fast to be honest with you and um just felt like one long season I you know played in college the world juniors and then um playoffs which is pretty
Cool so it was a lot of fun that year uh was it tough maybe get motivated some games just because there was no crowd there there was no you know Che cheering to get you guys up how did you guys deal with that just an empty Stadium yeah I
Mean I think I played 10 regular season games and you could just kind of tell you know the guys were it was a long season you know not having fans and especially living in Montreal at the time it was pretty tough with like if he was at 10 p.m. or you couldn’t drive
Past 9: it was nuts but um you know I got there and um I was just you know so excited to be there I think you know maybe brought some energy that the guys kind of needed and um it was a lot of fun I think you know being with them and
And just kind of celebrating and just kind of hearing your teammates more than fans was was pretty cool and you know again like I didn’t get to see the real B Bell Center until you know my next year so it was It was obviously pretty special um but you know your first
Couple games and you know no fans it doesn’t really feel real but uh we went to Vegas was probably my first like real game with the crowd and that was that’s you know one way to start my ear still hurts from the national anthem and stuff
So it’s just you know it’s nuts we already had our flights to Vegas that year and then you guys ruined it for us couldn’t go to Montreal remember that we had our dinners planned and everything was pissed hou ready to quit the yeah yeah yeah but hey you grew up
In Wisconsin and obviously Joe pavelski is probably I mean if not one of the best known players from Wisconsin I know Phil kessle grew up there but what was what was youth hockey like around there I mean I assume it’s getting better and better but compared to Minnesota it
Didn’t always necessarily feel like the same to me yeah I mean uh for me it was just you know playing hockey and playing baseball and football Growing Up So hockey was obviously you play football oh yeah what position oh oh oh so like like a dominant
Running back right it was like QB sneaks and you know there was I was running the ball I couldn’t see over the line but I was just the fastest guy get to the outside played uh running back a little bit too and I like defense more uh I
Thought that was pretty fun but um yeah football and baseball were kind of my my two go-tos I love baseball um but yeah hockey in in Wisconsin’s it’s like you just grow up kind of playing with the same guys your whole starts year you know hockey career and um you know I
Think I want State five years in a row with my single a team so um you know I just had a lot of fun I got to play with my brother a couple years um and play up with his team but uh you know all the kids just dream about just Winning State
And I think that’s what makes it so cool kind of there I mean guys obviously want to play High School win state too and that’s kind of the main thing um nobody really thinks about hockey is like a job or you know find a way to play college
But um for me that was kind of my dream is just playing college hockey and I think uh you know playing with your high school team and going to school with them was a lot of fun and uh I think I I played two years um of high school
Hockey too in Wisconsin before the program and um got to play Team Wisconsin on the side so it was just it was a lot of fun um you get to play like in front of your school and stuff and uh I think having those uh you know things
To go through and and kind of just be around a team where you know the guys aren’t really that focused on hockey as much as you and kind of just trying to drag them along but um they’re lot of fun and and I had a great time so they
Do it do they do it like Minnesota where they do it in one spot where all the all the high schools come and they crowd it up or is it a little bit different it’s at the old uh Badger rank um in Madison I actually never made it to state in
High school so I never got to experience that it was uh it was pretty tough we lost an OT in my last uh last game to go to state so um yeah it’s it’s it’s pretty cool but it’s not you know too big as Minnesota I think Minnesota’s got
Us there but um it’s for sure growing did you always kind of dream as you got older of playing for the Badgers where it was a no-brainer once you started getting all these offers from every school uh yeah I mean I I don’t even know what I actually committed to Ohio
State first when I was like 14 and uh my brother was he committed there like probably a year before and then you know when I first went there um and it was on the table you know you’re 14-year-old kid and you just went you were at the football field and you’re
Like this is unreal like yeah sure like of course whatever yeah you’re 14 I think um crazy yeah you’re like parents get to you know have you go to college for free and you’re just you know so wrapped up in that to play college hockey I mean I
Didn’t know how good I could be or whatever so I mean obviously small town kid from Wisconsin at 14 you’re like this is sick like this is nuts get me all the gear or whatever so um yeah and then I think uh my at the end of my or
Start of like my senior year so 18 year at the program um I think it just like teams are starting to talk or like see if You’ go to Wisconsin I think like for me it was a no-brainer I just never thought you know I could have the
Opportunity or chance and um you know once I they kind of started talking I think it was for me a no-brainer to to kind of go play for your hometown team so I keep hearing about these stories of of guys decommitting now let’s say that maybe things don’t pan out from when
They sign a kid out of the womb and 8 years old they got these guys they Chang the rule Biz they can’t you can’t commit so early anymore now okay so what if if you commit can a can a team kind of decommit from you or if they want to do
That they still have to pay for your full ride no I I think they I don’t know if they have to actually Cole you you might know better than me go ahead I honestly don’t think I know I think they can because I keep hearing about players
Doing it can the school do it like it’s crazy yeah that’s true I think uh it’s not I mean nothing’s official till you sign when you’re 18 or or whenever you decide you’re going so I think they have that right till you sign I think what
Happened was Biz one of the reasons they were change they changed the rulle is that teams were offering kids and they’d commit real young and then the team would be like wow he’s not really kind of advanced and improved the way we thought and then I don’t know if they
Necessarily could have been like hey you’re not welcome here anymore but they could have said listen you’re not going to play here you might want to go somewhere else so it I think by delaying it it kind of just it helped the teams not get left behind and the players not
Get kind of screwed as well so makes sense to me at least yeah but Cole for you I mean you went to the USA program I think you missed breaking Austin Matthews single season goal record by one the next year you smashed it was it then that you started realizing like wow
Like I I I to to see what he’s done and that I’m breaking these records like I have a chance to play in the NHL or did you even believe it a little before then when you were in high school in Wisconsin I mean honestly I I didn’t
Really know what to expect fact I was just pumped up to get invited to the tryouts and you know for me I didn’t have a point in the camp and I was like well I think I’m going to go play with my brother like you know I was like this
Isn’t like I’m not making this team there’s so many good guys and uh I just remember probably the last game of the tryouts and during the game they like called my parents in and they told me I made the team and um obviously you have
To go in there and accept it and I didn’t expect it and I walked in and my parents were there and I was just like thinking they were sending me home and um it was just it was John roleski and he’s like uh congrats like you made the team
And I was like kind of shocked for a second I was like really and so it was obviously it was pretty cool moment for my for my family you know to have him be there and um it was like a no-brainer for me I needed to uh you know try and
Get out of Wisconsin and um kind of start my career but uh funny story of of Jack Jack’s like you know picking the team it’s his team obviously whatever um he was in the office with with Robo um you know mid camp and he’s like we’re
Picking this guy and it’s me and he’s like what like why so he’s it was funny story that uh he told me after but um I think it worked out pretty good obviously um so many skilled guys you know you could have four power play units but um it was pretty special
Team we’re still close this day and uh you know just happy I made the team did did you know like with Jack Hughes did you did you see this Superstar at him like that early on did you know he was going to be this good uh yeah I mean like every day in
Practice you saw it so it’s kind of just like he’s on a different level and we all thought we all thought we were good but this guy was just you know dominating and um I think it was pretty obvious from day one but um for sure
Like you know he’s he’s grown a lot into his body over these past couple years and you know when I first met him he was just you know a little stick like Trevor and um those guys really kind of worked hard to get out of that but uh obviously
Jack you know one of the best players in the league now and um I think it’s just you know his his expectations are so high for himself and um he’s never really satisfied so it’s it’s fun to watch how how did he get to be running
The show at the program though I mean I know he’s a good player but he’s helping pick the team Jack Hughes yeah maybe Quinn Quinn helped him out a little bit I don’t know these guys are hilarious Cole I know your dad helped you to shoot right-handed as a kid he he
Felt that was better to to shoot on a goal glove hand were you shooting left before that can you shoot with either hand uh no like honestly my dad has this crazy thing where he thinks lefties are you know able to score more with their dominant hand up top and he likes
Right-handers too so I he’s got this weird thing about it but uh I just remember he always tells me the story he put when I was a kid he just kept putting the the ball in my left hand and like not my right if it was in my right
He’d take it out so i’ just like always you know play with the ball in my left hand but um you know I ended up being a lefty and so um I think that you know I just had right-handed sticks growing up and and throwing Lefty all the time I
Think it just all worked out the way he wanted so um obviously he’s uh he scored a lot of goals in college um so he kind of you know just taught me how to shoot growing up and never really you know talked to me much about it just you know
Wanted me to shoot pucks and and make it realistic so um he always made me do like this wrist curl thing before with the weight hanging down how much weight would you have on the bottom 10 pounds and I’m like grinding every night I’m like this is so dumb like what’s this
Gonna do what about the rice bucket would you do the rice bucket one no I never did that I think um he was so into this this thing it was just like do it every night I was like no I had one of those and I don’t know I had a muffin so
Could do anything I was strengthened my rest in other ways um but hey so you you’ve always been known as a goal scorer you said shoot and Puck is that something like all summer long you just been you fire Puck fire pucks fire Puck yeah I mean I don’t know I think I
Always just thought that was just the best part about the game um you know growing up it was always like my brother was the passer and I was the shooter and I was okay with that um but uh I think for me it was just all about shooting in
The Summers or like making it so realistic my dad ran a rink um still does to this day so it wasn’t like I was shooting in the driveway all the time so it was like always my brother and I kind of like making up things or kind of
Making it realistic it wouldn’t like just sit there and shoot a 100 pucks for no reason um like my dad wouldn’t even go out there with us he just put up a shooter tutor and turned the lights off and said you know for your ice time just
Go clean the bathroom so um he was all good like um coached me all the way growing up till I was about 12 and super hard on me hated it um but but you know looking back at I think it’s hilarious how many times a stick went in the
Stands during practice you would so you would do a lot of situational like what like shooting while moving and I mean you had access to ice which is huge right not many guys have that luxury in the summertime so what types of of drills like helped you the most as far as the
Shooting yeah I mean honestly was probably all my brother creating drills he’s kind of a nerd in that in that way so to have him like want to do it I think I would probably just have went out there in shot pox for no reason but
He had you know this mindset where he wanted to do all these things and and be like his own coach so I would just obviously be out there with him and I was like yeah sure like whatever and so everything we did wasn’t just like
Stationary I mean I think we were it was so nice to have like a guy out there like that to to want to do that stuff because you know he would set it up you know pass pucks say do this do that so um he was like my second coach growing
Up probably when you mentioned your dad coaching was hard on you would he tell you privately listen like you’re my son I got to be a little more hard on you or was it just rides home and you’re like oh guess this is a no talk ride home
Again yeah there was yeah no it was more like he never I mean he just likes to do it in front of the guys like yeah like Chase you’re having a good game tonight like you’re doing well you’re playing hard and I just he’d just be like right
My ear saying it to him like what are you doing out there and um no but he he was good like you know he just he was passionate about the game and still coaches to this day so he just he loves it and he’s obviously just hard on us
And want us to do our best Co so you the fastest player in NHL history to get uh seven overtime game with us did you always sort of raise your game late in the games or is that just kind of I guess luck in the NHL did you know later
In the games you just sort of push yourself more because that’s pretty oppressive so far dad in his ear honestly know I mean just means you’re kind of OT a lot so um yeah you know I think it’s obviously it’s fun playing three on three and um something
That’s new and you know you just get a lot more time out there obviously playing defense is is Pretty Tough these days against you know guys that are so Dynamic and um you know all the de and skate that are out there it’s you know five minutes of chaos sometimes but um
It’s a lot of fun I think I just you know I like being in those moments um you know it’s exciting uh they’re close games it keeps it fun and uh for me it’s just kind of you know doing what I can to help the team whatever as far as guys
On the team like who’s been the who’s been the most like influential on you as far as maybe office habits uh you know training regimen like just how you’re handling yourself like who have you leaned on since you’ve been in Montreal the most would you say um I mean obviously we’ve had we’ve
Had a bunch of guys and we got you know the the crew for for that playoff run and then having you know Shay and Carrie and Eric stall and and Cory Perry on those teams like it was nuts like just to see you know how much they dedicated
Themselves to the game for their whole career so um you know to to be in that moment with them was so special to see and just how serious they took obviously that whole season was was something special and it just you know put me in that mindset right away that you know I
I gotta be like these guys um just obviously listening everything they say seeing what they do it was pretty special but I think you know the longest guy I’ve been around the most probably is G um you know still to this day he battles like he’s you know he was
Earlier in his career and um the way he just does it game in game out and just gives it all for his for our team it’s uh it’s cool he’s a great leader and um it’s uh it’s for sure fun to be a part of speaking of old man’s in in in their
Ear his old man’s a Mania he trains with them have you ever got a chance to go out to BC and trade with his father no I’ve seen videos um we’d always send each other videos back and forth uh of working out he’s obsessed with um what’s it called like rdls and
All this stuff that’s so bad for your back but he loves he’s he’s a tank but um he’ll send me like as many pull-ups as he could do just a video of it just to show me you know like what he’s doing I’m like nice dude like what are you
Doing but I got to meet his dad this year on the dad’s trip so that was pretty funny just to see kind of all the dads and how their you know kids actually turned out just like up you can see it through them so that’s a good
Followup I just want to ask because Whit when you went to college I felt like it was more like a lot of weights and a lot of strength training like you guys to to some degree were doing Olympic lifts was that the way it was in college for you
And did you have to kind of transform your your workout habits as as you’ve gotten older and I guess as the games Advanced uh yeah I mean I think I did CrossFit which is probably not good for hockey players when I was like 13 and 14
I just started and it was it was like new in Wisconsin it was like cool thing to do so not good for you whatever for a hockey player um and then I got to the program and we were doing like all Olympic lifts like like they’ve been
Doing since the start so our first year we had um just like every day the same thing cleans single leg cleans like you just couldn’t feel your back but um it was just it was just normal like you just got used to it and it was it was
Good like I think we did a lot of good training there and then the second year um you know it kind of changes around you know the new future of working out I think it’s it’s a lot more movement and and be able to move power and in speed
Um in the right way and so I think now my training I’ve I’ve trained uh at the program for the last like five years so um it’s a lot of fun I think you know obviously they know what they’re doing there um but working out for sure is is
Something that’s you know been more important during the year too um that I’ve started to realize so you kind of figure it out through through experience and um I I just find it find it pretty good grety was making fun of me he’s like what are you training for the
Olympics because I told him we were doing power cleans and snatch were you guys doing the snatch where you go overhead too yeah it was nuts like L literally over your head like you should have seen like Jack and Trevor and these guys do it it was so hilarious yeah what what
About the you said the the CrossFit what what were you doing in the CrossFit classes just all these crazy exercises eight in a row no rest oh yeah blowing out your back like Gallagher oh yeah just like Gallagher am wraps like every minute on the minute you’re you’re
Running cleaning pull-ups like no idea what you’re doing like burpees burpees are awful we had every Friday we had to do 100 burpees as fast as we can and I don’t even know what I was doing it was awful I I think that CrossFit is is legit like a big Orthopedic like big
Ortho like they’re in charge of CrossFit cuz there’s doctors who have jobs because people being so injured from Crossfit won’t let it go away yeah smart move by them it’s like a dealership they got the they got the oil change every tire rotation everything’s there it’s
Like they they set up the workout for you to fail and get injured so they can make money off your insurance or or or out of pocket uh what about um I I I love watching WiFi play I know he’s out out right now or or H was out a little
Bit this year but what’s he like in the room is he as crazy of a guy as he seems on the ice when the wires Cross or is he pretty levelheaded like what’s his deal uh I mean he could call him the sheriff so like he’s he’s like he is
Just on the ice like kind of the man um you know thinks he’s the man just comes in like there’s no scare factor for him I mean what are you going to say the guy will just kill you so um but no he’s good guy means well um you know loves
The guys he’s he’s a really good really good kid so so he’s always got the game face on you guys try to rip him about it and he’s just you can’t get him to crack a smile oh no the guy’s the funniest guy you’ll ever meet like joking with
Everybody chirping everybody just so loud obnoxious mullet like the guy sideburns it’s crazy and like the guy’s hands are the size of a house it’s Nots like sausage fingers nuts I think his brother’s now a part of your organization too right yeah yeah he’s uh is he in Hamilton I don’t
Know if he’s in Hamilton right now but I remember hearing that they signed him and he’s he’s a killer as well I’m like oh je yeah yeah I saw I met him at camp this uh this year and um same thing just got that tick in him that’s just skitso
It’s crazy you you guys have a lot of personality in that room with Gallagher my understanding is when you came in like you know you weren’t exactly the quietest rookie either did anybody have to put you in your place because you’re you’re in the room first game just buzzing around chirping guys laughing
Big smile on your face yeah man I don’t I don’t even know like I think I was just so excited and like these guys were just like so cool to me that I was just pumped up to be at the rink every day and um kind of hit it off the top right
Away and then I think my first after my first game we were in Calgary so we flew back had this long flight and like Weber texted me like come to the back what are you doing and like like oh God what’s happening like I’m in trouble what are
We doing and um just you know and had a couple beers on the way home and um just heard some stories and and talked and just you know it was cool like didn’t touch my phone for like five hours it was awesome like just listen to these
Guys you’re just entertained and um I don’t know if I that was probably the longest I haven’t talked for so just listen to those guys I think um you know just like their energy um try to keep it light and you know they had fun Co what
Has uh Shawn monam brought to the team one of the older guys I know he’s not that old but what has he brought to the team this year um consistency and like this guy he’s been doing it for 10 years and you don’t even realize you know how
Long he’s played um but just you know he’s gone through so much injury-wise that you know it’s a lot on him but you know he comes into the rank every day like first guy you see working out um just doing all the right things and he’s
Been so good for us down the middle um this year and um obviously he’s been through so much so uh honestly one of my closer friends on the team and um one of the funniest guys on the team too like you probably won’t won’t see that from the outside but the guy’s always
Cracking jokes like leaving fruit and guys pockets on in their jackets like anywhere it’s nuts it’s so funny the team prankster he him he’s he’s got it he might have it I mean G’s obviously you know going crazy with the that stuff but um he hasn’t done anything in a
While so hopefully it’s it’s coming um one of the topics of conversation that’s come out on the podcast quite a bit in Whit I mean you could vouge for it he’s talking about the US and how the development program and just how hockey’s grown do you guys talk about
That amongst the guys and and where you’re now competing with Canada where you guys seem to be neck and neck is that something you guys are talking about while you’re training the summer and like keeping an eye on all that um I mean not really I think you know we all
Just know all the Americans in the league and how good hockey is growing in in the US but um for us you kind of just look around you’re like reminded how good you know like these guys around you are that are American I think um it’s
Obviously pretty cool to see um but for us it’s just like I stay close with my age group and those guys into hou and stuff but um you know it should be fun if that if that does get to happen in Canada versus us thing and um I think
That’d be pretty cool for the for the league and for fans too why do you think that these guys have gotten so good like how like I mean you’re around them all the time these guys have popped off to where I mean you could you could argue
That between Quinn and Jack they could both be up for the heart this year and Luke could be running for the Calder if it wasn’t for for Bard and he still is in the race yeah I mean obviously that family’s created three beast and um I think kids growing up just kind of
Want to be like those guys in the younger generation that’s fun to watch um exciting and you know all these younger guys are are finding these new moves or crazy things and um I think the the compete factor for you know kids growing up is is getting better and I
Think um you know looking at guys like jacquin um you know Kyle Conor honestly was amazing this Summer that you know I just you get to see the talent um on the ice obviously when you play them but um for me all the all the guys we skate
With pretty much are American and um they’ve all been so successful in the league these days and it’s fun to watch is there anyone else um besides yourself because I’m guessing a lot of the guys training at the national program are from Michigan so they’re going home but
Are there guys from Wisconsin or other states that are actually training there all summer too like like yourself um Jake Anderson um moved out for the for the summer um most of the guys do live around the area which is pretty crazy and um it’s kind of nice to
Just it’s pretty sick group like you look around you’re like playoff team for sure like hella buck in net you’re like we got we got this so um I think you know just being able to play at the program and live there I kind of liked
It right away so being around that area it’s it’s great in the summer and um obviously pretty special to have all those good players around uh Co your coach at Wisconsin Tony gr had a step away from was TV duties you know he announced that he was sick have you
Talked to him since then and what did he mean to your development when you were at Wisconsin yeah obviously that’s you know really tough news to hear um you know for a guy like that um obviously great guy and Mentor for me growing up but um
I learned so much from him my two years with him I think you know was taught me more about life and taught me those skills with hockey involved and I think it just kind of clicked for me you know how much he cared and how much his
Passion is for team first and kind of just wanted everybody to be the best they could and um you know just to see something happen to a guy like that it’s it’s frustrating and um you know I texted him the other day and you know he’s he’s ready for the fight there’s no
Better guy to to take something like this on but um you know he did so much for me in college and you know I can’t thank him enough uh you know he’ll always be probably one of my favorite coaches if not my favorite so um you
He’s been unreal for me and um you know saying prayers for him obviously going forward absolutely who was your uh who was your idol growing up and and I’m guessing if you don’t say your dad you might you might catch a slap here so no honestly like I never got to see
Him play like he didn’t there’s all these VHS tapes and like I saw bud just trust me I was sick you’re not even moving like what are you doing so just sit there and score but uh my favorite probably growing up was we my dad was an
Avalanche fan so we’d always watch you know Joe sacket you know started it but I really lik Matt du Shane growing up to be honest with you he was he was fun to watch they’re always on and you know obviously Patrick Kane you kind of fell
In love with too growing up so that’s kind of cool um he’s obviously grown so much to the game in America and and done a lot for the league so um I think everybody says that obviously Crosby o meigan those are the guys you kind of
Idolized but you know we were so lucky as kids to have so many you know different uh Legends to look up to what are you watching for television shows the season can get a little bit monotonous and you can’t really do much outside of your home in Montreal like do
You watch a lot of TV uh movies I mean not really like you kind of find yourself tired all the time like or you’re hanging out with the guys playing cards it’s like usually when we’re home there’s there’s a game on or or hopefully it’s a night where there’s
Football so um haven’t really got much into shows I think my my team’s talking about squid games right now the the real one or whatever but uh I don’t think I can watch that I think that somebody won and they still haven’t paid them that’s
The last I heard of it yeah that’s I don’t know I just kind of follow on Twitter and online right I’m not much show that’s confirmed yeah it was like what what’d she win 26 million bucks I think it was four 4.65 was the I just
Made that number up in my head wait what do you mean they haven’t paid them well apparently they just haven’t paid them like they filmed the whole show the person won and then they just like she can’t secure her has P Netflix has to pay the win and they haven’t paid yet
Now this this I’m prefacing this as possibly one of my dumbest questions ever but there was no like death in this real game show correct no no there was there were just people left and right that’s why the tag was so high on the that’s why they haven’t got paid cuz
They’re missing a couple of arms well they had to pay a yeah a lot of families off for all the bodies buzzing around call entry level deal it’s not exactly Chum change but when you sign your extension last summer did you treat yourself to anything nice the what the by 56
Million honestly like nothing I think the only thing I did I I paid for a Taylor Swift party bus and that was kind of that was fun so I mean honestly like nothing really yet um you know you don’t really know what to do it’s it’s lifechanging and um I think just you
Know you’re kind of shocked to look at your bank account sometimes but um you know you try not to think about it but uh you know people around you remind you all the time where was where was the concert well I was just try to ask are
You like a known Swifty are you like loud and vocal about that like not really I think people just took it too far with the 22 thing um obviously I think you know she’s got good Tunes but um I’m not really listening to Taylor Swift all the time but I mean but you
Just you got a party bust to her concert yeah I mean going be on a piz it’s it’s like a once in lifetime thing like she’s like iconic legend like you got to see it once right he didn’t pay for the tickets Biz he just paid for the bus oh
Okay nice it did she invite you herself I mean was this before Travis Kelsey was this like a a fling going on no no so no it wasn’t wasn’t like that but um no I just honestly wanted to go myself so uh you know got some friends to go Jack and
Trevor were out they didn’t want to go but you know I thought it was great are you a big concert guy in general or just because it was Swifty uh country concs for sure um that’s about it who are your guys I like that Zack Bryan guy yeah
He’s he’s obviously been unreal this past summer um like Wallen to go to but you all country music’s good you getting tired are you cooking at home you out to dinner every night like what’s the meal plan like there um I mean dvo doesn’t cook so doesn’t do anything other than play
Doesn’t do doesn’t move CCH what what would you say that Christian dvorak’s main interest is other than hockey uh sleeping cards Sundays Sunday football Sunday football for Sunday football his go-to is he doesn’t watch Red Zone well he has Red Zone and one TV we have two TVs hooked up so he’s like
You won’t miss a snap like that’s his go-to he’s got two remotes he’s locked in but is he following the pinto parlays not you not in can no oh no oh yeah that’s right you can’t gamble other than Ontario which is where PTO was yeah so
Sundays aren aren’t really as fun but um our fantasy football league is pretty good do you guys have rookie party yet uh we did where was it la oh my god oh Jesus put it together for this year um Pearson lined it up though he’s a great
Guy oh yeah he was he was there rookie parties are the best cuz you see you see some guys that you would have never thought come out of their shell come out of their shell I mean it would have been fun to see Christian Dvorak maybe do
That but I can remember our ours we had one in LA and uh we had Damon lanow on our team and he was just you know straight narrow you know always looked grumpy just came and did his business and I never forget we it’s probably 1:30
2 o’ at the rookie party and I look up and next thing you know is is Damon lanow he’s got a foot on each speaker in the top ropes he’s got a bottle of Grey Goose in each hand and a cigarette and he’s smoking out of both hands so like
It’s just like the rookie party who who is probably the one guy to come over to Shell the most this year at the rookie party there’s always Stories the next day um honestly Justin Baron was probably the best he was dancing singing um doing skits um but uh he’s pretty
Funny man like guy pretty quiet you know off the ice and you know to see him in that kind of scene it was pretty funny kind of for sure out of a shell that’s usually at the restaurant right where guys have to get up there tell a joke
You know do a little skit wait did you guys have to do that um we had to tell a joke my rookie party um and then in the middle of scary’s joke John lir I think said SC shut up go sit in that bowl of
Ice cream and then he just oh that was Sid Sid sat in the bowl ice cream and then scuds ate the ice cream later that’s what happened but yeah we had to tell a joke and no matter what you’re not getting a laugh out of anyone old school style who
Who told the worst one on the team where he got the booze and they they pigeon tossed him uh probably slaps can’t speak yeah uh yeah I mean he obviously he’s pretty tough to to hear when he speaks English um it’s it’s funny but uh none
Of the guys this year had had bad ones I think it was it was all funny I think guys are sometimes too comfortable with their jokes but it it’s always gets laughs I I mentioned you won the Hobie bakerwood back in 2021 were you nervous going into that like did you think you
Were going to win what was your mentality going into that announcement um honestly it was you know you got to golf that day so I was pretty pumped up you got to bring like three guys and golf so I had a great day the day went by pretty fast and um I was
More nervous like to give a speech if I won so you know you had to prepare that and and be ready for it but that was probably the the scariest part what was the C that night uh I think the college Club in in Minnesota good spot I thought that was I
Thought their spot was the library wasn’t it called the library maybe when I was there that’s what it was called I don’t know I don’t know what what’s the awesome bar in Madison College Club wge yeah College Club is nice good spot I’ve been checking out a lot of the spots in
Montreal maybe in the St Catherine Street area kind of famous on there I mean the restaurants are incredible in Montreal there the internet great food great I haven’t been to a bad restaurant all right is that all you guys got sh we appreciate this buddy the we appreciate this and the rematch
Will happen I haven’t got called that in three years well you are now buddy every Paparazzi fan who’s going to be outside of your apartment is going to be calling you oh there’s the the of the Walk all right buddy good luck the rest of the way and we appreciate it Big thanks to Cole jump and all with us a little uh alumni from the sandbag attorney nice to catch up chat with him for a bit but uh we’re gonna send it over to Whit I know there was something you wanted to discuss from things over
The weekend pal what’s going on yeah I briefly talked about the Capri off Brendan Dylan thing at the beginning of the show and on uh Saturday night they played in Winnipeg Minnesota um versus the Jets who it’s it’s a pretty cool little like division rivalry they got going they’re both pretty tough teams
And and in that game capris off he’s he’s got it down low and he’s kind of fighting off Dylan and Dylan comes at him he hits him with the perfect Peter forsberg reverse hit puts him right on his ass we’ve talked about Dylan a lot big mean tough customer and in the end
Like after he gets up he ends up going up to him and just it was a cross check and it probably could have been a penalty but it injured Capri off he had to leave the game and he wasn’t able to play the next game now people Minnesota
Fans were flipping out like talking suspension it’s like it wasn’t even close to that it was a pretty normal cross check got him in the right spot actually Ryan Carter is on the broadcast talking about how he wears an extra pad there from trying to like save him from
Some of those rip shots you can get well it it missed the pad it got him so it injured him and uh he couldn’t play the next night while the next night they’re playing a back toback they go back to Minnesota that was actually flurry’s thousandth game and right off the
Opening bell dude Pat maroon fights Adam Lowry a great way to start the game pretty good tilt and all of a sudden like you see like this Winnipeg team this this wild team they hate each other they’re in the division together it was an awesome way to start it and I I guess
It probably stemmed from what happened the night before even though it wasn’t Dylan fighting but in that game early on in the game neov has taken a face off against Harman and as the puck gets dropped the ref kind of blows it down quick and says naskov cheated and
Hartman didn’t do anything to him because the puck was actually dropped so Cole Peretti comes in and then right off the draw Hartman just sticks him right in the face with a high ended up getting find uh it was bad it was bad it was blatant he got find 4500
Bucks whatever the max find is pee whack and um he told now Peretti didn’t tell anyone this on the team during the game but Hartman out on the ice told him hey that that one was for uh that that cross check on capris off last night by Dylan
So apparently like he tells the media after this this is Peretti talking and then all of a sudden bonus is asked he’s like we didn’t know that things would have been handled a lot differently but I wanted to get your opinion biz on like the fact that like hey you take out one
Of our best players I’m going to stick you in the face even though you had nothing to do with it that’s kind of that old school mentality where where where where some skilled players used to back in the day I’m sure be like oh someone’s going to come after me now cuz
This game’s gotten out of hand I didn’t even do anything but I Hartman’s a dirty little like scumbag player that you want on your team and I don’t know like I don’t know what to say about it no I I I mean I’m not going to cond sticking a
Guy in the face cuz obviously the result could be uh catastrophic I mean we had Terry Ryan talk about the one where it was an accidental where the guy ended up losing his eye right so so if you’re a if you’re a Jets fan hearing me talk
Right now I’m not going to defend what the actions were but I can’t sit here and tell you that I don’t love this type of mental Warfare where oh yeah you want to go after our skilled guy I’m going to go after your skilled guy and and and
The onslaught will continue and it’s kind of like you’re gonna if you guys want to be a bunch of idiots you’re gonna reap the punishment of it because I can’t get to that guy because Hartman’s Hartman’s not the type of guy who’s going to go after Dylan he has
Other guys on his team who will handle business with Dylan but knowing that it’s like hey man we’re we’re all in this together and I’m going to be cheap shotting your skill guys now and and going after uh lwh hanging fruit as they say I I love that and if Hartman
Was on my team and and and the the only bad part about it is and you might have already mentioned this Hartman was the one wearing the wire or was it Peretti the one that was wearing Peretti was Peretti was wearing a mic so there’s like video or or audio evidence of him
Saying that to them so maybe next time you do it don’t tell him why you’re doing it just do it and and he might not have got fined if the audio wasn’t there cuz cuz cuz if anything the word the the the threat of the unknown is what would
Eat me alive like getting that and wondering why I got it and and then now you’re sitting with those thoughts is is worse than him being like I just stuck you in the face because of what happened to Capri off so I want um oh sorry I
Like how well I just I like how you brought this all up BEC because Minnesota’s a team that’s going to be trying to claw for a wild card spot I would imagine and Winnipeg has now built this culture which seems like I don’t want to say it wasn’t like this last
Year cuz they still had guys like Dylan and and Lowry and guys who would stuck up for themselves but it’s evident that this is becoming a boys club who believes in one another and they’re galvanizing even more as a group especially with Rick bonus under the
Helm and the the call out that came after last year’s playoffs so this is the big bag Winnipeg Jets I don’t know how many people had that on their big go card this year and I love every minute of it and right back to Minnesota
As well with that type of culture in the locker room and probably a big reason why they brought Patty maroon in in the off season as well and and as the Winnipeg Jets Dream Season goes on what happens Lowry fights fights maroon off the opening drop he then scores a goal
Lowry gets a goal and what happens Peretti gets the high stick goes to the bench gets fixed up gets a big assist on the second goal of the game so it’s like this team is doing everything they need to do and actually I think right now the
Central is the only division where you could say the top three teams those will be the top three teams at the end of the year I think the Atlanta’s such a the Atlantic’s such a crapshoot with I mean the Metro is such a crap with Philly still holding a spot can that continue
The Atlantic obviously you got Toronto you got the um Panthers who knows who’s going to be the top three there the Pacific Gong Show what’s going on out there but then the central it’s Colorado right now it’s Winnipeg ahead of Dallas and then it’s Dallas those will be the
Three teams getting those Auto bids from that Division and I think you could seal that one up now but what a season the Jets are having and it’s it’s great to see how tough they play how much they stick together and then that they got hella bucket it’s it’s the recipe for
For a surprising no one saw it coming besides Army possible cup run by the Jets and uh I don’t had we talked on the last podcast about that amazing comeback by the Arizona Coyotes on Colorado and we we’d already talked about that I that happened after we recorded G Game notes discussed it
We we we went back to last podcast trying to stroke off McKinnon and and the good things that Colorado has and then we also talked about the things that they don’t have going on Devon Taves who called out their team things are things are a little
Shaky in that locker room I think that would be my prediction on what’s going on and and and obviously the call out speaks for itself but to go into Arizona after that call out and have something like that hopen there’s a massive disconnect between the core group of
Guys there and the layer of guys that need to get on board if they have a a sniff of winning a second cup in this little kind of what you would think would be a dynasty stretch for the Colorado Avalanche like everybody thought after they won their first one
If you could have bet if they would have won a second one in the next 5 years I think most people would have taken that bet right yeah yeah absolutely with that and right now right now you just said it’s kind of up for anyone’s grab
To win that division but those are going to be the three that are solidified I don’t I right now I would pick Winnipeg Jets in a seven game series over the Colorado Avalanche that’s what I’m I will say that they blew that game and you saw um flipping out after gorv gorg
Flipping out but they went on the road and they had a huge game and and held on for a win right after that against St Louis 2 to one so at least you’re seeing a response from that complete meltdown that they came back and I think that was
Actually the game that ended uh McKinnon’s um point streak Point um but but you know for him to end that point streak and for them to still get the win after blowing that game it showed some resolve at least but I know what you’re saying uh but it’s hard to be really
Like critical while they’re leading the division and and have us right now the NHL’s MVP and McKinnon blazing around out there I feel like it’s pretty simple they just they’re missing Gabriel landeskog in that locker room like you know you’re C is and and and uh he would
He would kind of be a bit of a diffuser in a sense of how quick quick Wicked McKinnon is and maybe how he responds when when you know he’s very intense guy he’s got that Jordan Jordan s to him right he’s in guys faces and a
Little good cop bad cop B little good that’s what they need maybe just bring him in between periods just to sit there in his getch and and and be around with the boys no did you ever have that with a a guy that provided that much leadership just sit in your
Gear and then we come in you can just act like you’ve been playing and then we’ll go back on the ice and you can chill he’s making 7 million I think it’s the least he could do there’s a big comeback like that to where they was any
Streaking going on on campus after the big comeback there but I’ll just say I I was very pessimistic about what they were doing because I wanted them to to try to get another high draft pick with the amount of talent that was in these NE like you know we went back to The
Bard draft and then this year they’re saying that there’s a lot of Highly touted prospects so I wanted them to tank but G you said it you said I love what these guys are doing I love what they’re they’re doing there’s a chance that the the the coyotes end up
Getting a wild card spot and if that is the case tur should be considered a top three candidate for the for the coach of the year right now though I think it’s easy to say that we got torts we got talk and then who would you who would you guys
It’s hard not to say Montgomery again I I probably wouldn’t say Montgomery again there’s got to be got it last year they’re like just as good and they lost berser on a great three T’s though to talk toy I certainly wouldn’t if if Arizona gets in the playoffs piss no
Doubt he’s at Tor talk and to the Triple T I like that right that should be the three right now I got money on all three of them I’m rued for the the checks now but I still got I think a a 16 to1 ticket
Live on the checks I had 50 to1 on the Slovac but so you’re rooting for the checks over the US um well I’m just Roo for the checks to win the tournament MoneyWise I mean we’ll see what happens down the line so uh wa we talking about
Minnesota we got to give a shout out to your former teammate Mark Andre flurry played in his 1,000th NHL game what a hell of an accomplishment he’s got 5 50 wins he’s only one behind Patrick W he had a nice little prank w i mean obviously he’s well known for them
Him and Brandon Dame I guess I I think uh what’s his name flurry hit his shoes or something so he had to wear these like white fur boots he looked like something out of an Asha video and then he had he put a cane Duan put a cane on
Um flurry’s net so he was playing with like a can during practice like he’s he is good at giving the pranks with but he loves getting them as much he seems like he enjoys getting pranked as much he loves I don’t know Brandon D but I’m telling you right now you ain’t
Going to win this one bud like this is not the guy you want to do prank wars with because he won’t sleep at night until he thinks of another one to embarrass you I think he took his shirt at one point so does coming up to the
Game or leaving the game with no shirt under his suit jacket um the Kane one was pretty good though of course flurry ends up sitting there making saves and practice with a cane as a stick so I mean flurry’s just an incredible character it’s like on the ice he’s had
This amazing career Hall of Famer no doubt but then off the ice everyone who’s ever played with him talks about how great of a Duty is he’s laughing he’s smiling he’s with people he’s screwing with people’s dads on the dad’s trip there’s no end to his Madness
In the prank wars and so to see him play this long and be this good still is great I think it all started when du ha chirped his age I think he said ah it’s pretty impressive what he’s doing for a 50-year-old and that might have began at
All I don’t know if it already been going on he’s he ain’t going to retire he’s going to come back one more year just to torture this guy and I would just use the word special because I think that any time a guy who has had that successful of a career yet maintain
Like how classy he is but yet still found a way to entertain people through any type of the social media or any of these media requests and showing his personality I think that’s one thing that that the hockey world and the hockey players might get criticized for
But I can also understand where where guys have so much pressure on them making all the money and being the Stars to perform on the ice where maybe they tend to be a little bit more reserved off this is a a a star in our league for so many years that provided
Entertainment not only on the ice but off the ice as well and you know I’ve done work with the NHL on the social media side and they said like he is one of the easiest if not the easiest guys to work with so for him to kind of carry
The weight on in all of it he’s just a a special guy and and I believe he’s a Hall of Famer and I think that that is that kind of an obvious statement he’s a Hall of Famer he’s going to be second all time in wins right R uh he’s going
To be yeah his next win we’ll have him tied with Patty W for number two overall so um also the coolest thing looking back is I mean the greatest draft in the history of the NHL 203 and he was the first pick he was the first pick so it’s
Amazing like I feel like a lot of guys in that draft could have been like holy what a disappointing first overall look at who was after him and when you look back it it really wasn’t because of what he’s done so he’s lived up to the expectations it’s incredible because
He’s lived up to him Crosby’s somehow lived up to those malc’s lived up to him and you know who else has lived up to everything even though he was a second rounder Chris leang did you see what G’s Walmart Eric Carlson did the other night against the Islanders boys five apples
In one fraking period unbelievable uh put up the most points by a defenseman in a single period in NHL history he assisted on five straight second period goals uh the only other player with five helpers in a period was the the late Dale hoek back in 1984 for Winnipeg uh
Laten assisted on his sixth straight goal in the third period to tie the NH NHL record for assist by a dman in a game The Last defenseman have six assists in the game is Gary Suter way back in 86 and shout out to goino malcol a pair of goals he passed the great
Sergey federov and is now second all time NHL goes by a Russian so your old teammates he’ll get it done there wood dog it’s it’s unbelievable from G going into the season chirping chiring I can’t hear you guys Wi-Fi in and out Wi-Fi is going in
And out talking about the Chris L Tang like he’s Ryan Whitney skating around for the Penguins I mean it’s it’s I actually wasn’t watching the game and somebody sent uh Biz I think you were on the Tweet too like did Chris L Tang just have five assists in 10 minutes of game
Time I was like what the hell and I went on to the app thinking that it would be a broken NHL app mistake first standard and it wasn’t I holy he’s snapping it around in Long Island so the pen his game re-calibrated the app it’s actually
Fixed now so thank you to Chris lat tang in terms of penguins news they’re getting um they’re getting russb back who’s been away for a month who’s been an awesome player ever since he’s been in Pittsburgh so it’s I feel like they’ve been better lately and they’re
Still I think they’re seventh in that division or sixth in that division it’s like it’s just so hard to make up ground and Carolina’s getting going a little bit AO AO went on a tear I think he had eight points in about an hour of uh hour
Of ice time over two games or less than an hour so that division’s impossible to to predict but the Islanders took a beat down at the hands of L Tang the the Walmart Carlson and uh yeah Friday night here in Emerald City uh John Torell toell became the first US born coach to
Reach 1500 games uh eth orado hit that number he’s in his 22nd season with his 15if team 723 wins his 10th all time and second Among Us born coaches uh he’s right off the lavy he’s made the playoffs 12 times uh Jack Adams W an 04
In 2017 so uh ttz keeps getting it done and also Paul bares he hit the magic number 1,00 uh just the Third third coach ever to hit that number uh Scotty Bowman first Barry Trot second so congratulations to those guys those are huge numbers very impressive and I just
Want to give a little uh tip of the cap to those guys and boys I mentioned we had comedian Ian beg uh if you haven’t heard of this guy absolute character you should probably check him in his material but we’re going to send it over to him right now so

Changer okay it’s time to bring on our next guest and we had a little something different for you today on spit and chicklets hailing from British Columbia this comedian started off in his home country eventually made his way to New York City where his career really took
Off in addition to appearing on Last Comic stand and in several late night talk shows he’s also had specials on Comedy Central HBO and Showtime among others we’re very happy to Welcome to the spit and chickets podcast Ian bag thanks for coming on pal how goes it
Thanks for having me guys I appreciate it oh man my hockey career is finally maxed out I’m on SP what do you mean you got a hockey podcast I just found out about that too yeah I got a great podcast it’s fantastic no it’s we have a lot of fun I
Grew up in uh Terrace British Columbia and one of my friends uh played in the league Jeff sharples and uh we just talk hockey and where it takes you through your life you know because doesn’t matter what level of hockey play you play you still end up with hockey people
No matter what right so were you playing at a young age oh yes yes I’ve been a donkey since I was about three that’s awesome well I I was at your show in Boston it was Unreal I I didn’t know what to expect because I hadn’t seen you prior just torturing
Torturing people on the show and that’s before I went in there I talked to Scott darling I I talked to Avery who I know you know both those guys pretty well they said don’t go near the stage this guy will carve you up I sat in the back
Just trying to stay out of the stay out of the light of getting tortured by you but has that always been your thing like almost it said there isn’t like a monologue it’s like a dialogue with everyone the entire time yeah it’s kind of like uh it kind of grew into that
When I first started out as uh I was I was influenced by a huge Boston guy Steven right the best the best I was very oneliner and I I spent a lot of time with Mitch Hedberg uh we we started out together he lived in Seattle you
Come up to Vancouver and we’d go do these spots and I had long hair and looked like a loser he had long hair and looked like a gorgeous rock star and we just do we do these shows and and I would do a little bit of crowd work
Every so often and it would just it would just kind of grew into this monster that it is so uh do you find that maybe being in the hockey locker room made you quicker on your toes and that’s why you were so good at picking these people out of the crowd not so
Much the locker room but sitting on those little buses when we were kids like it was just you know we and and I’m old enough we didn’t have any entertainment we our our our video games were those uh those those those video games that were just lights like you’d
Play baseball and It Go blink blink blink blink yeah so the battery would kill it within like three minutes of being on the bus and now we’re just staring at each other ravy Cho car’s dad’s sitting in the corner drunk and and just so we just start making stuff driving the bus
Yeah driving the bus I feel like you and RA are going to be relating a lot to all these old school video games and anything going on probably before me and Whit were born yeah you guys you guys you guys have no idea there were lights
In video games yeah yeah back in the day oh it’s a battery what like what what gave you the balls to start doing stand-up comedy cuz I I mean with ra I don’t know if you guys would ever have the jam to get up there it’s a different it’s a different
Beast and and it was awesome to see Scott darling uh do it as well but like how did you get your start what gave you that little little jump to even get into it uh it’s it’s what I want to do I grew up on uh listening to my uh parents
Albums like uh it was it was Bill Cosby it was just talking about comedy all right do we have to B that holy look I love Bill Cosby that’s not but he used to he used to he had these albums and he’d paint these pictures with his words and I could see
Everything he talked about and that’s that’s how I wanted to be I wanted to paint pictures with my words so uh it was I don’t know but I grew up in the middle of nowhere Terrace British Columbia so you go if you’re in Vancouver you drive 12 hours to Prince
George you take a left to Prince George go another eight till you hit Prince rert and then come back an hour that’s Terrace oh my God holy yeah that and that that that’ll fire them up it’s not that far it’s not that far I’m like
Yes it is yeah I believe we call that isolation is uh is where that is there’s actually quite a few uh well I mean for the size of it uh quite a few nhlers that came out of there yeah a lot of them yeah there’s Jeff um there’s a
Couple tough guys came out of there Rudy poek came out of there uh he used to just smash everybody’s face in town and then he decided he had to go to a bigger venue so so I would assume at growing up you were a Vancouver Canucks fan would you
Get down to games yes so so when I grew up again I’ll relate to ra rather than yeah yeah talk just talk to AR after we ask you sit around and watch play your video games uh so we we got CBC where I grew up we got CBC CTV when I was really
Young so we got mostly Toronto games but every so often there would be a Vancouver game and I saw a different Jersey and I’m like this is awesome so I became a Vancouver Canuck fan and then I realized even though I was nowhere near Vancouver I realized that was the
Closest place that had a hockey team so then I started getting the uh every year Shoppers Drug Mart would put out a calendar with the team on it so I had the team you know in in the house and marking off the games and stuff like that
So one guy dressed as a fireman or something like he’s got the the tarps off like one of those types of calendars was that it wasn’t a sexy calendar one guy just sprawled out on the beach oh I love to Trevor Lyon B that goes exactly so were they being
Sexy you got the man on yeah just yeah how old were you when you said I want to be a comedian I want to do this for a livid how old were you I was uh I was quite young I was probably 15 but I
Just had no idea how to get there right so I my mom’s from Australia so we’ live in Australia for a little bit every so often and when I was 17 when I finished high school I took off to Australia and then I ended up back in Terrace and I
Ended up with a job working for an explosives company and it started off right at the bottom I would just be the guy that would carry the explosives into the into the truck from the magazine fourth liner like be careful here in yeah so yeah oh I was just going to say
Like what was it like growing up in Australia like I mean you know not every kid gets to experience that it was hot it was great it was fantastic there was beaches it was there was stop lights in the towns that I was in it was crazy it
Was it was we were in Sydney when I go over there we go for periods of time and we’d be in Sydney and and then I come back to this little town in northern Canada I’m like I got to get to the city the city’s much better and I I I have no
Idea how my dad tricked my mom into going into this little cold Village in Canada so yeah it was pretty great but uh yeah yeah so I was working in explosives I was going to take off to to become an engineer I wanted to learn how
To uh do implosions I want to learn how to take buildings out of cities without ruining other buildings around it that’s what I wanted to do and uh I ended up doing an open mic night that had a contest and I was so green I had had no
Idea like I had my jokes written on my hand I was so nervous I sweat them off so I had nothing on my hand when I went to look at my hand so I ended up doing impressions of fish with my hands I didn’t win the contest and I
Thought well that’s it I gave my I gave my shot I guess that show business you know because where I was from Show Business was basic basically an Archy comic where a limousine just seen you walking down the street and said that guy’s funny get into business but uh the
Guy so I thought I I’d done my due and the manager of the club just happened to see me walking out and he said hey you should come back next week and do it so I came back the next week and just that’s how it started so and I never
Went to school that was it that was it now I was in I’m like I’m in I’m B well well I read one thing that I think your history teacher when you were young said to your parents like is there something you need to tell me about Ian what’s wrong with this
Kid that’s it so I had this history uh teacher Henry Dreer and he was a little boring and uh we used to sit at these long desks like almost tables and I used to pretend that I was Paul Schaefer and he’d ask me a question and I’d always
Answer with well Dave and I pretend to play the piano so uh I should have probably been in a special needs class take the short in late night monkey cim take the short I Dr it you must been a big Letterman fan then oh my God so what would you say
Your biggest like what made you explode because when I saw you I think you mentioned like the the amount of uh social media followers you had exploded over the past two years like what was it that happened that that made you find they blow up uh honestly I saw i’ just
I’ve been I’ve been doing comedy for about 25 years and in December of last year I kind of fired everybody in my camp and I just kept one person and then I met this kid who’s about 22 years old who knows social media he said let me
Cut your your clips and put them online and I couldn’t believe it it’s just it’s just gone insane it’s gone It’s Gone on YouTube it’s gone from 5,000 followers to about 230,000 followers right so and that’s that’s since January and it’s 130 million views this year so it just kind of started
Filling up the rooms and adding people coming in uh you uh YouTube uh Facebook is up to about 400,000 it’s just people people are just coming out of their woodwork that just want to have fun escape for an hour and not take things too serious which is my style of Comedy
Yeah that’s huge um as like and no offense like as an older guy was it a little bit uncomfortable at first maybe getting speak up was it a little uncomfortable getting into the social media world with your comedy and I would say probably yeah most Comics don’t want
To put their material out there cuz you want to waste it but the good thing is is you’re doing crowd work so it’s all different from night to night right that’s very true like when I started doing comedy you saved everything you didn’t show anybody anything and then
You got on a late night show and then you showed five minutes right that’s how it was so my generation or whatever group we it was very difficult to let things go but I had heard a long time ago a saying those most resistant to change are the
First to be left behind so I was just like I guess got to give it up I just got to do it and what I’ve learned is the new style of Comedy is just putting it out there it’s not there’s nothing to save it for right so if you’re a good
Comedian you just put it out there and then hope Netflix comes and says do a special and you can write a special you don’t have to save that stuff you just put it out there that’s going to find you people so it it it was it was tough
But it was it’s freeing to me like I just put you know just put stuff up now just whatever we just keep put stuff so it’s almost similar to what we’ve talked about with viewership and sports that younger kids and the younger generation just wants clips and then boom like
That’s kind of makes sense in ter terms of why you exploded but how long was it until you were able to like make it your full-time occupation like you’re you’re working side deals side gigs and and you have a main job and then at some point
You were like all right I can go all in on this that must have been so relieving for you it actually it wasn’t I never I never really did the relieving thing uh until this year this is this the first time I’ve ever actually been relieved I’ve always been like Edge Edge okay
Here we go even though I’ve been making good money for years it’s now I feel comfortable right so uh I stopped doing any sort of side job when I moved to New York is when was when I when I stopped needing to make more money than I had
Right and then now I’m an actual business that’s the difference I don’t know I don’t know if that makes sense like no it does because it it’s kind of like sports you can make money but it can end tomorrow right so you got to be careful because a certain amount of
Money doesn’t last for longer than tomorrow so you always got to be you kind of have to be edgy right you have to kind of all right all right so uh try to figure out every comedian says whether it’s once or several times like you bomb and
And do you remember your first time I remember my I remember my last time yesterday that’s every show carve everyone if they start booing you so like that’s a win I just snap on them I snap that’s how he sets them up he just starts bombing he just starts going at
People once they start yipping I just start taking it down right into the mountain and then I just pull it uh I remember the first time bombing uh I was at yuck yucks in Vancouver and this is when I was first starting out I did there was the first time I did their
Room and there was like 20 people there and they were just staring at me just staring and it turns out they’re all from Switzerland and don’t speak English you know I’m like this is great give a guy a warning that’s just starting out in comedy no um bombing can be freeing to
Be honest with you it’s pretty amazing that a group of people can agree that they don’t like you that quickly that quickly that quickly you’re like ha just by walking to Stage you can tell you don’t like oh I looked at your face and there was something about it yeah some the way
Your eyes sit on your face do not make me happy so uh I was just going to say doing crowd work though can be a little dangerous if you start going at the wrong guy have you ever had any instances where security had to get involved where you’re just carving a guy
Up and he’s got some liquor courage and attacks the stage I had one I was in Texas I was in Arlington Texas and um there was this fella and he was on a date and he was I don’t know it’s a pretty big room it’s about 350 and he’s
Probably about you know 250 in and he’s a just like Bill like you know just a mutant and he’s on a date and I go I said what do you do and he said I’m a gang banger that’s what he said right trying to be the comedian was he trying
To be the comedian or was he trying to be tough right is so I said either way you got him right I said there’s two types of gang banging I know the type I’m into and is it is it the shoot shoot or the fun [Laughter]
One and he gets up and he Chucks a rock glass at me right just like and this is a big boy and I can see it coming at me me and I step to the side and it hits the wall behind me which is made of brick falls to the ground and doesn’t
Break and I just hear a bunch of people go like they made fun of them for not breaking the glass against the wall right so I said hey man less shoulders more squats right and he got up and he ran out of the building now he said he’s
A gang bang so all I can think is and you’re in Texas yeah yeah he’s going out to get a gun that’s what he’s going to do that’s what I thought was going exactly so and he’s on a date and he runs out of the building and there’s
Bouncers there and I go where’d he go he goes he got in his car and I’m okay this is where the gun is right and he drove away left his date right and I said and she just didn’t care I guess it wasn’t going well or what whatever and then it
Just got worse with me talking to him and he drove away I said what kind of car and they said a Porsche and I said what color and they said purple I said that’s sad that he he couldn’t even get the color he wanted so but he didn’t he didn’t come
Back and and kill me which was was was great about it but I insisted on walking to the hotel that night I don’t know what it was about my machismo but I’m like he’s probably out here waiting for me but I got to walk there if I’m going
To die I’m not going to be in a shuttle on the way to the hotel that is so good I ask when did like crowd shift from going like oh we’re going to a comedy show you might hear anything you might be offended to like oh my God this is offensive I don’t
Want to hear this like there’s been a a huge shift in that has there not I don’t know I don’t know if there has been you know it’s I think there the shift has been now that it’s online people see it like I I remember having a lady yell at
Me once that I did comedy wrong because of the way I did it I’m just like how am I doing it wrong she said you’re not taking it serious I’m like you do you do hear what you’re saying right like people people are are going to be
Offended no matter what you have to be yourself I think I talked to Paul once about this you’re going to offend people no matter what so if you just do you it’s better like if you try to be something else and then you still offend people you feel like a piece of
Afterwards because you weren’t true to yourself so you just might as well offend and just get the people that enjoy you a as crazy as that scene was with that juice monkey who threw the glass at you I would imagine that’s probably not your craziest interaction doing standup is there anything that’s
Even wilder than that I would imagine like I don’t know if you’re married or not but probably some good-looking girls maybe reach out to you after the show no uh good looking girl do not like Once yeah when when I was single I I I if I can suggest to anybody do comedy travel the world and get your sself a French Bulldog and just nail everything right so yeah yeah I want to ask you we’re the same age basically like the first wave
Of political correctness I think was like the late ‘ 80s early 990s and the Pendulum swung the other way we started getting like you know gross movies like America pie and stuff and it’s come the other way way way toward the left do you think it’s going to like fully swing
Back the other way or are we goingon to be stuck on this like side for a little while it’s a weird time I I think it’s I think it goes like it will go back the other way and I think it’s starting to a little bit there’s there’s been some
Like Cher’s movie was hilarious I don’t know if you’ve seen the machine uh it was just it was offside it was stupid it was it was drug filled sex filed and just Escape is all as it is right so I don’t know I don’t people have to get back to the
Point where do you want to be entertained right I’m not trying to teach you anything I’m not trying to give you any morals or anything I’m just trying to entertain you and I’m trying to make you laugh at stuff that you never thought you’d laugh at right so
You can you can you’ve made your decision when you’ve walked in in the door of a club or walked into a movie theater that you want to see something that is is going to entertain you so either go along for the ride or don’t go
Don’t get on the ride right I can’t help you I don’t I don’t know I don’t know what people’s lives are that want to complain about everything like they just want to they want to be offended I don’t I don’t know what what it is so well at
The show I saw you you were I think you could be described as offensive as and people loved it and we’re in Massachusetts too where people are super left leaning liberal and I was like this guy’s unbelievable he’s going at everything thing and everyone yeah absolutely absolutely people loved it
They didn’t give a so maybe you’re right in terms of people seeing it online that weren’t actually in the building they’re the ones who get rattled yeah there’s definitely um people that check they want to see comedy you know on your settings I want to see comedy and then they see comedy
And they’re like I didn’t want to see comedy I didn’t sign up for this yeah so so yeah there there those people out there it’s it’s it’s just it’s weird right it’s weird people are weird it’s weird t time you just want to have fun
So I I don’t I don’t care like whatever whatever Ian one of the more fascinating things I read was uh you’ve met three American Presidents yes in your lifetime have you performed for all of them and which ones did you end up meeting I haven’t performed for any of them so you
Sneaking into the White House like how the you get well well I have been to the White House once I was doing a show in uh in DC and this guy came up to me afterwards and he goes you want go to the White House tomorrow I’m like all
Right he goes well give me your uh give me your driver’s license I’m like okay I’m that stupid of a guy I’m like all right here’s my ID where’s my money um but he turned out to be the uh Marine guard Marine honor guard that is in
Between you and the president so he set me up to just go on a tour of of the of the of the White House it was crazy it was I’m just like I’m walking around he goes hey can you put on a Collard shirt though had to put on a collar shirt
Shirt to go to the White House it was a little disappointing who who was in uh Power I guess you could say then Bush was in power but George Bush to and while I was there there was very much security around the bathrooms this is a
Great story that I’ve never told I don’t know I don’t think I’ve told us on anything but uh they had a poop shmear in the White House somebody was using one of the bathrooms and after every time they’d use it they’d wipe poop on them they what they they’d wipe their
Poop on the walls of the of the bathroom in the White House and this is before Biden was in office what the are you talking about somebody smeared in one of the bathrooms on all over the so they would have they had like at least six cameras and I’m not going to
Say if it was a boy or a girl’s bathroom but they had at least six cameras pointing towards this one bathroom because I asked about I’m like well why do you guys have so many cameras on the bathroom I’m like who’s weird that’s a little weird and and they told they said
Yeah we got some we got a poop mirar Inside Job who uh Inside Job who uh what other presidents have you met you really want to know about these presidents well I mean I think it’s pretty fascinating no it is it
Is it is f so uh so when I I so as I’ve said a hockey hockey’s been a through line through my life so um when I first moved to LA I wasn’t as busy right so I helped coach uh like a a 16 17 year old
Hockey team 14 15 year old hockey team in Burbank and one of one of and it was all rich kids and they they used to wheel this guy in every so often and he would watch and it turned out to be Reagan so that that was that was one of
Them right what Reagan’s grandson played hockey on this team and they said that’s Reagan right over there so that was one then another time before he was president uh with Obama I was on a plane with Obama I sat behind him on a United plane and that was before obviously
Before he started running so he had to fly coach as well wasn’t like we were both in first class we were both starting our careers and then another time I was on a plane with Carter and that was coming out of Atlanta and I remember he walked around and shook
Everybody’s hand on the plane hello hello I’m Jimmy Carter Jimmy Carter right and they had to make an announcement if Mr Carter would sit down we could pull back from the gate I loved it and there’s one there was a lady sitting sitting two above me and she
Goes Mr Carter you’re the greatest of all times and there’s a guy beside me goes easy that was so much fun I I’m doesn’t matter who you are you’re going to get chirp no matter what right oh yeah yeah doesn’t matter when when you were making
Your bones New York back in the like mid to late 90s who who other the guys were coming up with you like uh like guys who I guess for famous now that you might absolutely so I remember like so how I ended up in New York was I was at the
Montreal Comedy Festival I wasn’t on it I was I went to see my friend on it and then I ended up on some shows and this guy invited me down to New York and I took it at that age I should move to New York so I took $700 moved to New York
Lived in a youth hostel ended up getting sets at this place called the comic strip uh I used to have to go it used to be um it’d be Chappelle it’ be Chris Rock um Ray Romano um red Johnny and the round guy I don’t know if you remember them uh all
These huge name davel uh Louis C and I would always get the check spots where that was the new guy spot where you just checks would be pay being paid and you just eat for like seven minutes was fantastic so but I just kind of grew out of that you just either
Either either built your skin or you just left the business right so yeah gaffan gaffan and I used to hang out all the time back then we used to get the same spots is is it a competitive industry or was everyone very willing to help each other out everybody with
Buddies or or is it a little hostile in there with maybe some of the egos no it’s it’s it’s a very it’s a very we’ll all help each other out until you get something and then you’re a okay there you go he sucked anyway oh he made it let’s try
And tear him down now what a douche I can’t believe he’s doing it yeah you sitcom yeah but everybody we do we yeah guys help each other out all the time yeah because it’s just it’s you don’t when you first start out you get to hang out
With your buddies more as you grow you’re on your own running around the world right so you don’t get to see your buddies so it’s it’s it’s it’s kind of hard we try to try to make it so we can get back to that point where we’re all
Being stupid when we started out so when was it when you got on to Last Comic Standing because you made a great run there I think you were one of the finalists correct I was one of the finalists that was I did their last season of it and uh I got disqualified
In the end um so I was in I was in the finals and how I do it was every week I would you had to write your jokes for them that you were going to do and it’s 8:00 NBC so they’re a little tight and uh you
Know they would go over it with um with um standards and practices and they would pick the jokes you could couldn’t do so I would always put these offside jokes in so I could get less offside jokes in right so I their eyes would go
There well on the last one I sent in I put in a joke about going down on a girl for the first time and they did not understand so they cleared it you’re like how did this one get by him that’s exactly what I was like no
Way so I went up and did it and nor McDonald goes I can’t believe you just did a joke about going down on a girl for the first time that was great you’re never going to win but that was great so they pulled me aside and they
Said you are disqualified you got a red card for I mean could you tell the joke again yeah it’s I I said um uh I said everybody remembers the first time they went down a girl it’s got a little bit of a kick that nobody warns you about right it’s it’s kind of
Like it’s kind of like having Caesar salad for the first time with anov some of them oh yeah I said some of the girls are all mad no it tastes like Peaches I say yeah peaches if it had a battery in it right but I did that on NBC at 8 o’clock
And I was just like oh my God I was just like what a cool oh god there was Lady in Alabama passed out when she’s watching yeah that night you mentioned nor I mean AB absolute legend of the game we lost him a couple years ago you were you
Friendly with him or did you you have to hang out with him much that was the first time I’d ever met him and he was a huge hero of mine from when I was a kid right so I uh I do my first set and it goes I’ve known Ian forever I’ve watched
Him forever and I was just like this guy knows who I am wow right I I was I was just shocked and surprised but I got to hang with him a couple times and he was always great and yeah just a funny guy and just another one of those guys you
Just do your thing and be as offside as you can and have fun all I was going to say is a situation where like your guy’s wheels are just constantly turning day in and day out trying to like take everyday situations and turning into jokes like are you able to shut it off
Um I I I’m able to shut it off in certain situations where I just don’t say anything but if I said something I’d get myself into trouble um but you must drive your wife nuts sometimes like shut the up she says that a lot my wife’s an occupational therapist and I’m
Pretty sure I might be a client not a husband yeah exactly you I know you talked about Cosby earlier uh what would you say your top five albums or sets are and like since you know you’ve been following comedy like doing comedy whatever like of guys that I’ve liked yeah just yeah
Since I guess the last 50 years like the the best sets or or like you know concerts or whatever that what would you say I say sam kennison’s anything that he did was insanely funny offside and poignant you know he was he he was he was just so funny uh early early Bill
Cosby stuff was was absolutely hilarious um Dawn Rickles is hilarious oh yeah but also I’m a huge fan of Jonathan Winters like I love spinning stuff just not and not just you know when you came to the show with I’m I’m I’m sure you noticed that it wasn’t just it wasn’t just
Hammered but hammering somebody but making a story up that was outrageous right yes so that that’s that’s what I like that kind of stuff so yeah but those those those four and I I think I think Chappelle honestly is one of it can’t be denied for being absolutely amazing like
He can take a break where he doesn’t get a laugh for four minutes like what comedian can do that and still keep their attention that’s the most impressive thing ever right so yeah oh like you’re saying the buildup yeah just tell the story and tell the story and
Keep people’s interest you know like cuz you did bring up like people like Clips so you got to keep them laughing like that right and he just he’s able to keep with the distance it’s just like and the laughs are massive at the end and like mix in like something about like a
Social issue where he just Nails it too and you’re like holy this guy’s just got got it all man yeah it’s he’s he’s he’s he’s impressive and but there’s so many guys out there like sagora is fantastic Cher is Fant fantastic a guy named Chad Daniels there
There’s so many great Comedians and I feel horrible because I just named three white guys I’m like you come up with a girl yeah yeah mixing diversity you know I mean oh my God canceled over here yeah that is guys as as four white guys sit
Around and name three more on well I was going to bring another sit up do you remember the first time you watched Eddie Murphy Delirious you probably 12 13 years old the best you like tell do you remember like exactly where you were cuz I I’m it was one of those
Like yeah so I totally remember I totally Brian McConnell brought a copy of his sister’s tape and we all sat around and listen listened to it on the first Walkman or whatever that thing was uh and I know you guys don’t know what a Walkman is oh I had a
Walkman I had the shock wave baby I could chuck it against the brick wall and it’ll still work Jesus that was a lot of Ang like that cup from the guy in Texas same thing yeah he could throw it but it wouldn’t break it was amazing
Uh but I remember us just sitting around and then we just make copies of it we all made copies of and we took it home and it was just it was it was the most amazing thing and it was another one of those things where you listen to and you
Seen the picture right you you could see what he was talking about and that’s what I’ve always loved the guys that I’ve Loved have been able to do Whit I think that you’re really good at that when you tell stories you’re able to paint the picture really well oh thanks
Piss yeah I’m going to do stand up from now on take a compliment I said thanks I appreciate it why wouldn’t you guys do stand up actually doesn’t realize it yet but I’ve already worked it out where he’s going to be doing standup so uh I hate to break sold a
Couple ad reads and we’re all good I just haven’t I haven’t been told yet well hey how about maybe we could start with rose and uh and Ian you’ve done quite a few hockey guys in your day yeah can we change that a little bit can you
Not say that I’ve done a bunch of hockey Guys well you were cranking your off to the uh cranking my to the calendar to the Canucks calendar no that was you I brought up the calendar and you’re like okay yeah yeah yeah but K so you’ve done I think Nick Lindstrom and I did yeah I did Nick Nick
Lindstrom and uh um Scotty Bowman Scotty Bowman um who else was there I’m trying to think who the first BR Hall uh no not Bret Hall um Pang I’ve done Pang Pang yeah um and then there was uh Mickey Redmonds I did Mickey red how did come
Together um uh uh they came together so some guys some of the guys from St Louis used to come and see me when I used to go to the funny bone there and they were doing panger roast and they contacted me and I said yeah I’d do it so that’s how
That happened and then I met Jim Ralph who does a lot of uh you guys know Jim Ralph from Toronto from Toronto radio so he does all these hockey gigs and he introduced me to people and said you got to get this guy on after I met him at
The St Louis one and then uh I ended up doing those other ones it was weird chirping Scotty Bowman you know yeah I was gonna ask you what the like what could you possibly chirp him about you had to be di deep on that yeah I guess I
I would have never played on your team take that Scotty you piece of had no idea so I think I just teased him about being old I was like is this a prostate fundraiser oh he would but he has a great sense of humor and and yeah uh who
Was I’m trying to think who is who had the nickname The Little Beaver no clue that was a slap slap what it Marcel Dion oh he he was angry about something and he was on one of the dases and he they had to basically drag him
Off he was he was complaining about and I should have been paid more you bunch of so his his his roast part turned into him bitching about salary his his turned into a Strike oh oh like who who are your favorite comedians that you watch or or check up on or make sure you catch the sets if they’re doing fresh stuff um I don’t really watch anybody because I don’t like to be influenced I just I hang out with guys and you know and I
Just I know how funny they are offstage so I know how funny they are on stage and I see how they’re doing but uh like the seora the chis Christina pazinski the Chad Daniels like people like that and um um I’m going so I’m going to
Chers tomorrow so uh he does a show about cooking so I’ll go there and hang out with him and and do that with him but I did a tour with him he’s I did a podcast march with him he goes why don’t you come on the road with me and I seen
Canadian dates I was like I’ll go do the Canadian dates with you so I did uh Saskatoon Winnipeg Calgary uh Edmonton and and Colona with them and some of them were in hockey Arenas it was insane like 12,000 people just having a lot of fun in a hockey
Arena was great so and it’s it’s so interesting to see your friends when they they become a business like there there’s people only working because he’s telling jokes like it’s it’s insane like there’s semi-trailers out there because he’s talking about his dick you know what I
Mean it makes no sense at all you mentioned uh before we started recording that you’re done for this year uh it’s like December but how many nights were you on the road in 2023 um I probably did about 30 weeks on the road that’s a grind huh it it was it
Was interesting I did I went to the Middle East this year I did Dubai Bahrain Oman and Jordan uh so that was a long one and then uh yeah the rest of the year I was trying to do only three weeks a month but it turned out to four
A lot of the time so yeah chirping the crowd in the Middle East would probably worry me a little bit uh nah you can’t see them I just I would just ask them questions and then then then tease them right you don’t you don’t go too hard at
Them and I I could just I could just tell by their wrists I’m like so so you’re rich huh yeah that’s all that’s all as I did was just say so you’re rich I can tell by your watch you’re rich did you have to alter the material watch
Just CU obviously those countes they asked me not to speak about politics or religion that’s all they they asked you know they said go go wherever you want to go but just leave those two things out and it was it was nerve-wracking I I’m not going to lie uh I’m sitting out
Front waiting for the first show in Oman and I see these dudes come in and I’m like holy those are religious police right I could tell and then I asked the producer I’m like who are those guys he goes oh they’re religious police they’ve been here four times
Today to check on the show Jesus Christ huh I guess I should leave a text message for my mom I should hide my calendar I go I gotta stop taking these gigs yeah you don’t have to do everything say no to something I I mentioned you did a bunch of late uh
Late night talk TOS you did Conan O’Brien how did that go for you way back in the day I did a bunch of them but it was actually Conan O’Brien was my first ever American television show when I first when I first came down to New York I was completely
Illegal um and and a guy named Lucian hold who was one of the owners of the comic strip would put me on and one night he came and he said hey Ian there’s a uh there’s a audition for Conan O’Brien tonight you’re not going to be on it I’m like well that’s great
Thanks for letting me know what I’m but he said I’m gonna put you on just before it right he said ‘ that way if they don’t show up I know I can trust you with extra time and then they’ll be fine when they show up right and I’m like
Okay he goes but if they’re there they’re going to see you do your best five minutes so I did my best five minutes and because they were there and I was the only one that booked the show that night so that was pretty cool they
Came out and they said hey we’d like to put you on Conan O’Brien and I said I’m illegal and they said no worries we’ll get your uh we’ll get your work papers for it so that was how I got my work papers how I got my first TV show and
Lucian actually became my first manager so wow so when you’re on a late night show like obviously you have a little plan of what you’re going to say but yes you you have no idea how long it’s going to be correct or what he’s going to
Respond with oh you know you know oh yeah you know it’s going to be I think it was my first one was seven I think they’re down to three minutes when you do light night shows now or something like that oh yeah they get the Oscar
Music going as soon as you end your first joke yeah thanks for coming up so uh yeah I knew exactly what it was and I was I was still fresh I wore my best clothes and my best clothes were a pair of shorts a pair of logging boots and a
Logging shirt and I remember I remember some guy saying to me afterwards I like this character you’ve created this is my gear man yeah I’m like this is my tuxedo you mother Biz mentioned the Oscar music I think he got not getting one for most valuable primate too yeah same
Same one of the best movies ever Of All Times how did that come together uh it was uh it was so that’s another one of those stupid stories uh I signed with this management company and they said what do you want to do with your career
And I was tired of hearing that from management and agent companies I’m like hey man I think I’m here to do standup I’d like to do standup and uh maybe you could help me out with standup and maybe I could be in Show Business seeing now
That’s uh why I’m paying you but I didn’t say that what I said was I would like to do a hockey movie and I’d like to work with a monkey and they came back two weeks later and said what if we could put both of those things into One one one project and I’m like what and I go do you want to work with a monkey and I’m like yeah and I go you like to be in a hockey movie and I’m like yeah I go it’s a hockey movie about a monkey and I’m like all right I’m in
So I spent uh five weeks in Vancouver playing hockey with a chimpanzee and it was fantastic it was so I played with Biz too you assho wow crucified over there it was crazy because the monkey could skate better than the trainers and and he would get away every
So often on the trainers and we just have to watch these guys that couldn’t skate chase a monkey it was pretty fantastic and and the director was out of his mind I remember the first day of filming was hey guys let’s just keep it real out there like oh yeah my left
Winger is a chimpanzee keep it real but he was legit though he could Buzz around out there oh yeah yeah yeah we could pass it to him and he’d score oh it was great uh yeah I know back in the day like I said we’re similar age Johnny
Cson getting C to the couch was like the big deal you did a set there if he brought you over is there any sort of anything close to an equivalent to that today for for comedians is it maybe getting a Netflix special nowadays no I honestly I don’t I think Joe Rogan makes
The biggest thing for a comedian’s business right now like that that his his podcast uh this when you guys mentioned me on this podcast I couldn’t believe how many people rang my phone like more than when I did The Tonight Show rang my phone saying hey I heard
Your name so not more than Joe Rogan though uh I haven’t done Joe Rogan yet I’ve been mention I thought you were on there because he’s talked about you before they’ve had a great discussion about me and I’ve done his Club I was at his Club a couple weeks ago and had a
Great weekend there but I haven’t I have not been on his podcast the new one in he opened one in Austin right described you as dangerously Flawless is the way that Joe Rogan explained you on his show so you went down to that what do they call that
One in Austin the mothership the mothership and from a comedic standpoint has has like is he allowed it to open up a little bit more as far as like uh com like comedy and being able to say whatever you want because it seems like it it it provided something else to the
Comedy world when it was opened no I think it’s I think it’s just created this place where every comedian wants to go it’s almost like a Mecca like the fact that I was one of 52 comedians that got to play there this year blew my mind like I had
No I had no idea that in the world I would be picked like one of those guys so it’s where it’s where the fans want to go because he’s created this place where you know it doesn’t matter who’s there they’re going to be fantastic they might not be your style but they’re
Going to be the top of the top right so he’s that’s what he’s created he’s created this place where it’s just it’s not wide open more than other places it’s uh the comics love to go there the people love to go there the people that work there they’re all Comedians and
Trying to get their careers going and it’s it’s it’s it’s pretty impressive what he’s done so I guess it’s different now where comedians before would would get sitcoms like Tim Allen or something like that but would you even want that now or is that not even really on your
Radar or what you’re looking for no I I don’t I don’t think it’s what I’m looking for I I’ve I never I don’t know and I don’t know if it ever was I’ve always I got into standup to be a standup not to become an Act Right uh
I’ve started doing these Vlogs where I go into a city that I’m working at and go find a bunch of things that people don’t know about the city and those I I really enjoy doing them I’ve only done four I know you guys do your your your
Things but if this is this is me going out and doing things and I think it’s a different than anybody else does like you guys do your thing that’s different than anybody else does and it’s it’s just it’s it’s kind of my style because I’m basically I’m chirping the people
I’m talking to right so so and you know what and I think you guys are the same way we do it not because we want somebody to feel about themselves we want to let them know they’re included so if I ignore you you’re not included right so yeah
Exactly yeah when you mentioned the the 22-year-old kid you hired who really helped your social media explode like did he actually reach out to you was he a fan or like how did that all come together no he W he started working with two other Comics um just
Justina Marino Justine Marino and a guy named Francisco Ramos and they both came to me and said you got to meet this guy oh nice so that which goes back to with the question that was asked earlier do you guys help help each other out and
Yes we do there’s some people we shun but you know we try to help each other out because I I don’t I don’t think there’s a finite number of people that want to see comedy it’s not like we all just got to get that 100,000
You know so so yeah we do and he I talked to him on the phone we had a good chat I I said No at first and then we talked again about two weeks later and I said let’s give this a try and within the first month I was like oh we’re
Going for a ride did you ever see the Dice Man back in the day no but I I I I’ve seen him around The Comedy Store and stuff like that I just he makes me laugh still to this day just crazy is that more is that more of a character you’re talking about
Andw ice really okay really I thought that yeah I thought it was more of a character yeah because it was funny Italians loved him back in the day but he was a Jewish guy which is always kind of hysterical if you watch his I follow his uh his Instagram he’s really funny
He just goes up to people and ask them if they want a photo yeah he baffles them makes me laugh really funny I was going to shift over to question about your podcast so it’s called enjoying orange slices with uh with Jeff and Ian yeah uh do you guys
Just talk about all these old school hockey stories do you talk about current hockey like what do you what do you guys talk about is it hockey specific it is hockey specific it is about um you know uh most of the guys that we’ve had have been retired some of the guys still
Playing lot of coaches a lot of on air people we’ve had and we talk about their life we talk about the game we we uh we don’t take it too offside my partner Jeff is a pilot for Alaska Airlines so he’s you know he’s got get yeah can’t
Can’t be yelling at people but um it we talk about the game we talk about equipment we talk about what you know their their feelings um it’s it’s been great we had uh Tim Hunter on we talked about you know we want we had we had these rumors that we wanted wanted to
Know we used to hear that he’d grab guys with one hand two of their hands and he said yeah I used to tie up their their jerseys and twist it and then I’d be able to hold it and punch them and I’m just like that is exactly why I didn’t
Go past hockey because I hated being punched in the face so yeah just it’s stuff like that you know talking and and uh yeah we talk we talk about the Vancouver Canucks uh Jeff lives in Vegas so he talks a lot about the Vegas Golden Nights he also finished his career in
Vegas with the thunder so he is deeply embedded into into Vegas how many Canucks games do you get to watch are you are you staying like are you watching all the games or no no you know the problem is I I work at night right so I probably get mostly clips of the
Games so that’s how I watch but every so often I I I I’ve probably watched about seven this year so far do you got a cup prediction for this year that’s not Vancouver that’s not Vancouver I it’s the obvious one right right yeah it very obvious I don’t know
I I think I think Edmonton’s gonna pull a St Louis the out of me no wow that’s what I said saying the same are you stealing my Tak the stealing his material thought you said you don’t follow other I didn’t say I didn’t follow other podcasts oh
Okay no I do though and I I do it for a different reason because I hate them oh yeah they’re going to bend you over just like the Islanders are going to bend us over they’re probably gonna come out of the East did you go to the
11 Cup finals any of the games I did not I uh uh and and I can tell you right now I knew Vancouver is gonna lose uh as soon as it I was watching it on CBC and I can see it in my head like a this drives me
Insane CBC started playing these clips of Vancouver and then they started playing this Adele song called we almost had it all and this was game one and I’m like mother we are not winning this and boom what happened what a banger Though they b b and it was all over after that I love cranking some Adell get me going in the morning I Oh I thought you were talking about the series he’s got a calendar what a I’m going to see her live she had her hips too yeah yeah
Shakira Shakira and I just made a joke about joke thievery is that something that that Comics talk about a lot and the guys know who’s like RI ripping people off is that a big deal we know they don’t really last too long um name names Ian went St and called out a guy
Once i’ I’ve seen that clip him and him and uh who do you know who it was I I can’t remember who no I don’t remember was Mania that’s who it was they yeah yeah can you guys explain the backstory here I don’t know what you’re talking
About so uh Carlos was known for kind of lifting things but not specifically lifting things like suddenly had somebody would talk about something and he would talk about the exact same thing so it was that’s what he was known for he says he still he wasn’t doing
That and it still affects him to this day like people go on to his Instagram and call him a joke Thief they like go at him hard and it’s cost him a lot of work and um I I don’t I I never I I didn’t ever get into that like I don’t
I’m like whatever you guys got to fight I’m more of getting all right you stole the joke can you do it better than me all right if you can do it better than me go ahead if you can’t I’m going to come out and do it better right so
That’s the way I am uh those guys had that I remember I had I had gotten into trouble I’ve been banned from the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival you have yeah I have um like are you are you are you still banned oh yeah yeah yeah oh yeah
Yeah the one going on in Canada you’ve been banned from Canadian comedy yeah yeah yeah it’s very Canadian to do that you didn’t like your eating out joke again or what no there’s a there was a guy there was a guy that had stolen a joke from another guy and they
Were on the same show as me and I was in between them right so it was this guy it was Andrew and then I can’t I can’t remember the other guy’s name and I won’t give any last names right so I uh no no it was yeah there was a thief
Before no I can’t I I called them different on the show and it caused a big Havoc right I call I said give it a big give it a big hand give it a give a big hand for Andrew and it was the other guy right saying that he was you know so
So I was the I was you can never come back to our comedy so I’m like all right just perer me I like this talk about how CAD you can get behind the scenes with all this joke stealing stuff that’s probably why you don’t watch other comedy for the
Most part you said right cuz I’m a thief no spark an idea and like what’s the term placebo effect yeah you just don’t want to be derivative you don’t want to be influenced at all so I I just I want to have my own thoughts you know I don’t
I I don’t care I want I want the ice to be when I go on stage I want the ice to be clean I don’t want it to be all skated over top of you know so I I I like it snowy and choppy preferably but
Uh uh one last thing about the comedy I had we still talking about oh yeah snowy and chpp I like it a little rough around the edges uh I was going to ask about your I was GNA ask you about your your your free comedy routine like are you a
Guy who gets very nervous before sets like is it is it kind of no not at all no I I I love it I I’m it’s exciting uh I don’t like to arrive to the venue too close to the show so uh on on Friday
Night I thought the show was at 7:30 it was at 7 I arrived at 7:20 um so I’m that guy you have some drinks before you go on no I can’t I I’ve really the last time I drank was 2012 and not like I still drink but I need
Time off to drink just because my recovery yeah and I’m slower the next show is slower so and you’ve seen the show I can’t be slower than the a yeah you’re you’re quick you’re quick right so that’s why and I just the the stage is the bigger drug than the alcohol for
Me I love that yeah good for you thanks man I got one one more Ian we’re gonna uh I would to ask for your comedy Mount Rushmore we’re going to throw Bill Cosby out just cuz he’s Cosby we’ll cancel him for this but who who was your Mount
Rushmore comedians after Cosby uh I would say sam Kennison uh um Eddie Murphy oh yeah um uh it is tough I know Dave Vel is the funniest guy in the world I don’t I don’t know if any the other guys with them he’s he and and I do
Believe this I believe that just like hockey it’s better live right stand up so much better live so um guys that you may not like clips of will blow your mind live so yeah Ian I I hate to go back but you actually are a joke Thief I
I remember asking you before you came no you stole the catchphrase covered wagon off me I did steal covered wagon off you I’m coming after you bro you’re not running your own business anymore it’s my business I’m coming after you buddy Paul bag nasnet do you have a covered wagon is that why
You took it no they scare me oh okay seen one at the gym and parfi me I I got an ugly one I got enough I got enough skin on the end to cover a burn victim looks like ra uh reading stats off the Mount Rushmore of comedians cuz that’s my favorite my
Favorite Act is when he gets reading different numbers and then all of a sudden we’re just crying laughing by the end of it that’s awesome fortunately not a lot of numbers but with comedy shows but did you ever get to see George Colin I used so I back in the day at the
Comedy comedy magic club in Hermosa Beach I would do a fake talk show uh in one room and Carlin was on the other one and we did about eight shows together and it yeah was no really yeah so I just go over and talk to him a little
Bit and uh and just just being around that was insane but during that talk show that fake talk show I had chandling on my fake talk show I had a guy who had a fake talk show on my fake talk show oh wow meta City holy was
Crazy yeah so was Carlin the one who used to smash the the Watermelons oh no no no that was g g I’m not a comedy See’s face was disgusting who the guy who smashed the watermelon he wants to walk you outside and show you Jupiter again yeah yeah
Yeah oh see you’re big fan of the sandbaggers are you accept it I seen that clip I just I lost my mind it was a plane there was an airport miles away and but the whole thing was just amazing just just our age I got
To tell this guy I got to tell this guy and you just being don’t give a well because it wasn’t Jupiter it was a plane you didn’t even look up you didn’t care de yes did I looked up after we have video of it you looked up afterwards but when he told
You you’re just like I’m playing golf because I knew there was not a chicken dicks chance that this guy inebriated the way he was could have picked out Jupiter he couldn’t see four feet in front of him he couldn’t even see the ball he was trying to pot I
Thought it was proved it was Jupiter oh Jupiter Airlines yeah oh man actually I got a quick story for you I it was probably about 25 26 years ago I I was driving in Boston and I put a radio station on I never listened to and they said hey Chris Rock
Is coming to the comedy connection this weekend tickets are on sale spur the moment I got like eight tickets me and my buddies went and he comes out you know it’s only a couple hundred people that ifed that burns the place down just absolutely melts the place hysterical
And about 3 months later uh his next HBO special is and it’s the second one bigger and blacker and he starts telling the jokes and I was like oh my God he had been workshopping bigger on blacker but we had no idea cuz you know prein
From the HBO that he did in front of you yeah we saw it at the comedy connection before he come on HBO we but we had no idea so we saw that like exploded him too that like oh my God yeah yeah AR is like the crackhead
Forest Gump he’s been like a part of all these wild wild things through no I’m all right didn’t you end up at like the Rolling Stones show where they ended up filming something and you ended up in a picture in a magazine like a Time Magazine yeah Shin Shin he’s been every
Cut celebration since he was born his mom snuck into one so that’s how he actually got it he was like listening to her tummy no I’m tell you what other crazy have you accidentally been a part of RA or snuck into like there’s a few more in there yeah stealing cup
Potties actually this isn’t I don’t think I ever told this on the show that 1986 Boston Celtics parade when they won the championship they they were on these this was before the were duckboats and there were no barriers like people were just in the street and they had these
Like DPW trucks and I’ll never forget they were like chains hanging off and I I crawled up like a little monkey I was 14 I was pre rested I tiny little kid and I get up and I’m high five and like Kevin mcel and D Ang and like literally like during the parade
Dan AG like hey if they see you up here you might get in trouble and like I was like okay and I got like Star Struck and I climb back down like an but yeah that was another little one I stuck stuck in the Celtics
Parade uh yeah there a zilli of them one of coolest one of the cool pictures you that I’ve ever seen is your Twitter profile picture where he was at a WWE event and Andre the Giant loved kids right he was always so nice to the kids
And AR had a disposable and he’s like hey and and Andre the Giants has a towel over his head walking back to the locker room and ra snapped one of the coolest photos I’ve ever seen so you are the crackhead uh what I say commercial that commercial where the kid
Gives Mean Joe Green the co is actually based on ra yeah yeah I I I got to bring up one more name I feel if what we have a comedian we have to talk about Ry Dangerfield I mean I don’t know no pun intend that I don’t
If he gets the respect he deserves in the anals of Comedy but one of the best ever I was fortunate to see him in out in a Vegas years ago did you ever get to see him I never got to see him uh live but I did meet him at the Improv one
Night and it was it was just it was just bizarre how great that guy was and loved by everybody you know that’s that’s the difference you can be great but to have everybody’s love too that’s around you that works in the business is where where you want to
Be right like it doesn’t matter doesn’t matter if you’re great but you’re a douche it’s you you want to be the guy that people want to be around so he paid it forward like uh you know all the young commedians he did that special on
HBO back in the day and actually B I I went to the show in Vegas and it was early in the day me my buddy picked up the tickets and we we were walking away from the box office and you know those old people lock Hots like goes buzzing
By like like 30 m hour if he hit somebody would have knocked him over was like holy that’s Rodney and he was going over to check with the box office yeah you know lck I can’t say lar lock cots and so we went over and I was like
I goes hey Rodney I goes can can you sign my ticket for him he’s like yeah yeah sure no problem and he signs his hand shaking like a leaf on a tree and I Stu my hand out and I made him made sure looked me that goes hey Rodney I just
Want to tell you you’re a true legend he’s like oh thank you thank you very much and like he look like an old decrepit grandfather he come out 6 hours later with the suit on and just burned the place down it was incredible to see this like 82y old guy get up
There and just kill the place he took a little bit of a different approach before he went on stage than you right Ian like he was think he was doing it on stage wolf doing wolf lik it all you liked it all I’m not getting involved in this
Yeah I got his book I got his book right behind me he he’ll vouch for us there was that just kind of how it was back then ra where all these guys were just getting up going up like well The Comedy Store was known for that like
They they still have the there’s a a a piano backstage that is made out of a mirror and that’s to do blow on okay so yeah it was it was a definitely a different time back then well you must heard the dingho I’m I’m guessing right
Here in Boston it was was it Cambridge was a Chinese restaurant BS and like Dennis Larry like Lenny clar all those guys started off it was like a comedy Revolution here in Boston and I mean it was as much Co cocaine as it was comedy going back then it definitely fueled it
But yeah my favorite story about Lenny Clark is him he had gets this sitcom just before the Gulf War and uh he goes in the first golf War he gets is sitcom and he goes in with a TV Guide to a bank and they give him a loan to a for a home
Because he’s on the cover of the of the TV that’s why 2008 happened basically get even better right so so his his sitcoms about to debut it debuts the night where the first golf War takes place so it gets bump oh no gets bumped so it lasts like three episodes and now
He’s got a house that he got for the that is unbelievable oh real man thank you for coming on this is great everyone check out Ian bag Instagram Facebook all your social media and then what is it AR what is it uh enjoy there only one other
Question I had it was like What if you saw me RA Wht and grenell sit in front row and Whit obviously being the pompous with ra shaking gr I’m not sure what grenell is doing I’m probably trying to pick up the waitress what would you start slinging at us what
Would I throw at you guys oh yeah just start giving it to us this is why I went in the back row I don’t want to hear this give it to us just shrivel us doesn’t matter I’ll still find you that the uh there’s that guy from the
Patriots there that night and I oh that was amazing and he wouldn’t admit he was on the Patriots you’re like all right finally at the end you’re like dude you’re on the Patriots probably because they were one and 10 at the time of your show I think
Yeah I love his his injury was that he tore his bicep from his body and I go did it hurt he goes not bad I’m like Ian so Ian said he was like what’ you say he was like a a it it worker or something like he was he was an IT
Worker that’s what he was can you imagine he’s got the dreads 6 fo8 he’s Jack guy shows up to fix your computer and crush your old lady yeah it’s an episode of black.com that’s how those start not that I’ve ever watched my wife is stuck in a dryer can you help her out
[Laughter] yeah man can you apply this sunscreen to my wife’s vagina I got a leaky leaky faucet here Ian we love you buddy we should do this again you know what would be awesome is one of our live shows maybe surprise our guests with you coming out
Doing a little uh little stand up before we go that be so fun Toronto early February if you want to come yeah cover wagon tour Ian conversations it’s on Prime I watched it over the weekend so check it out if you haven’t seen it good absolutely I love I love that you like
Stepen R too that’s the best this is awesome thanks guys thanks for being a great is there anything else you want to say to our our spit and Chets fans or is that it no thank you guys thank You man great stuff with Ian big thanks to him for jumping on with us hopefully we get him on again I like I like how we’re doing this Biz bringing on some you know characters from outside of the hockey world and you know I guess exposing some of our listeners to some
Of these people which is it’s been good man I’m having a lot of fun doing these yeah as much as I love interviewing the hockey guys I like getting these one-offs where we get I mean especially a comedian to come on and snap it around with and hear some funny stories and and
Breakdowns and wait you said you had the chance to go see him I I did get invited to one of his shows but because of my travel schedule I wasn’t able to attend but this guy’s a funny bastard and does Unbelievable crowd workor so if you guys
Uh take a look at his Instagram or or any of his social media take a look at where he’s going to head to and if he’s coming near you I suggest checking out one of his shows absolutely uh Patrick Kane looking a lot better than he did
With the Rangers last year he’s got uh six goals seven assists and 13 games he had he had a four game goal scoring streak uh a six-game point streak with 11 total points the first red ring uh since P pavl datsu to record a four-game goal streak at the age of 35 overover
Point per game player what what are you seeing with uh Kane this year and how are the Rings Looking For You Lately well it’s kind of crazy to think Kane looks this good and the wings look this bad um and you you really can’t put it
On him I mean he just looks healthy he he looks like a different player from last year and everything he said I guess it was exactly true because he didn’t have that that quickness to his game he didn’t have that that speed to be able to beat people wide which I mean he’s
Never been like the fastest player in the world but he’s just always been so skilled that with his speed he’s also able to just create so much and then there was obviously something lacking it was just power and ability to push off that hip he looks great again he’s
Scoring what seems like at will but the Red Wings they’re giving up so many goals they they can’t keep the puck out of their net and they they went on that run in November where they were right near the top of the division and since then they’ve lost I think they’ve lost
10 of 13 they got a win against Nashville um 54 on on the 30 30th I think yeah that was Saturday or Sunday and even then though still winning the game they had to get five and then they show up and the next night they play the
Bruins at home they give up another five goals it’s like I guess this year they’re they haven’t won a game Biz where they’ve they they’ve they’ve had to score four or more goals to win to win a game like if they’ve scored less than four they haven’t won no it’s
Kind of weird that like lon’s talking about that they’re just making like unnecessary risks where they got guys like they got defenseman jumping up into the rush causing an odd man Rush the the other way they don’t really need to do that and like they couldn’t score like
They wanted to last year so they got Kane and der Brink kit and spraw and gosis bear and now they can’t keep the puck out of their net now the big part of this is whoo’s injured they need him back because he got another run he got
Going he started playing a little good hockey but right now it seems like Lion can’t make a save Rhymer can’t make a save so when you’re giving up this many goals it doesn’t even matter how good your offense is so they need to kind of like figure out the defensive side stop
Making these risky plays stop turning it over at the offensive Blue Line in the defensive blue line and like get back to playing defensive hockey like win a game two to one because it’s not going to matter how many goals you can score if you can’t keep the puck out of your net
And goal tending has something to do with it but everything I’m reading also says that the way the team’s playing it’s just not responsible hockey so in the end even with Kane coming and being a point per game player it’s not enough so it could look like those three teams
That n needed to make the next step Ottawa Buffalo Detroit none of them do none of them are going to make that next step so they’re exactly what we thought of the uh the Devils last year where the future’s bright the future’s bright well it ain’t that bright until you make playoffs
I I I do think I think Detroit ends up getting in though I think comes back and they can go on a little bit of a run I mean right now they’re sitting out of the wild card right now the playoffs insane they’re going to be crazy wow they’re I mean they’re Five
Points out the problem is there’s five teams in front of them so it’s like once you start looking at the points it’s one thing and then you see how many teams you got a Leap Frog it’s like we’re we’re running out of time here to get on
Run so you lose 10 of 13 and yeah you’re going to be sitting at the bottom looking up so it’s crazy to think that Ottawa Buffalo and them all are not in great spots come the New Year yep speaking of Auto I don’t know if you had
It written down already they got they named stos uh they kind of gave them their official you know titles or whatever I mean you probably got it written down uh yeah bus and uh senator’s owner Michael anlow made made an analogy to similar to what the Canadians have done with Gorton and
Hughes sort of I guess a two-headed monster a friend office they sort of Bounce things off each other and like again with a little bit more of a collaborative effort I don’t know whether the the buck finally stops with these guys but either way I think this
Is good for the Senate to get some stability in there I know they’ve had a chaotic couple years with ownership and I basically kind of a little bit of a circus going on but hopefully this can solidify things and they can get back on that course that I think people have
Thought they G for a little while there’s just like so much to keep track of now that I feel like the teams that have the best delegation and resources to pay guys to be able to have the proper people in each situation and then also trusting what those guys are doing
And saying and not trying to micromanage so I like the way that they’re looking at this team and to change it up from that mentality standpoint like that has to be the thought process rather than just having like one or two guys making all the decisions in micromanaging where
It’s just too much to juggle in my opinion so now they need to get their coach they need to just get a coach but I but I think that with what they’ve put in place now makes them a lot more respectable and then the next thing is
Is I mean if I’m them I try to go after baru you need to you need to put together a package which gives the coaches a lot of control and also enough money aside from what you’re just going to pay let’s for instance buub because if you’re getting baru you’re paying him
Five times five I think that’s the going rate for a Stanley Cup winning coach and I don’t think that you’re going to have anybody who with any type of credibility who’s going to be willing to go to Ottawa unless you’re not panning over a bag and then sometimes you know with a
With a Canadian franchise maybe not wanting to spend a ton of money on on coaching staff if all the money’s going to the head guy well who else who are the assistants going to be how if you want good assistants now you need to pay over a million bucks and not a lot
Unless you go get a guy who’s unproven at the NHL level who you know in junior he’s been really good and you give him a shot you can catch a money break on that well that’s like to that’s so that’s like coach tan right but the problem is
Is I don’t know I don’t know if after going with DJ Smith who came away from ashaa and they gave him the opportunity like that and it seeing the way it played out I don’t know how the fan base would respond of them trying that again
Right I kind of meant as an assistant though right okay fair enough Fair sorry all right thank you for the correction but they need to go they need to go and we talk about old boys club their next coach has to be like an a former at
Least NHL coach yes they can’t go again and grabb a guy who’s unproven because they need somebody who has at least had some success at the highest level right right at least you can rely on that when you’re sitting at the podium and you’re explaining to the fan base why you just
Made this higher uh couple more notes Here boys uh congratulations to the uh Professional Women’s Hockey League uh kicking off their new season uh New York beat Toronto for to nothing in the League’s inaugural game there’s also teams in uh Boston uh Minnesota Montreal and auto so
Best of luck ladies to this season can we talk about the physicality you see the clips Biz yeah yeah yeah yeah it’s basically contact are are they making a concious decision where you’re kind of allowed to hit it’s basically they they don’t want the open Ice stuff
But in the women’s game it’s always been you’re allowed to rub rub the girls out now International play they call a lot more we kind of went through that earlier but I hope in this pro league they allow it to fly a little bit more because these girls I think these girls
Want to play with the contact yest dud they want to play with that type of physicality the place was packed too it looked awesome the girls are being great and bass are doing a ton of Media stuff I thought the other cool element too is the rules that they’ve implemented and
Maybe as part of a tester to maybe change them in the NHL so what are the cool rules that they they’ve uh changed up if you’re short-handed and you score a short-handed goal your team member comes out of the Penalty Box so you’re rewarded for getting that short-handed
Goal goal what was another one that they’ve imped three points for a win three points regulation win you get three points without I I think I I think that the NHL really needs to do something about the loser point it it makes it impossible like we’re talking
About Detroit trying to get back in the mix like it is so hard with all these teams getting two in one points with all these games going ot to Leap Frog and make some jumps if you’re winning regulation games start giving teams three points I love that rule yeah among
Other ones so who knows if it’s going to be used as a tester because in years past they’ve used the AHL as a a testing ground like when they were thinking about implementing the three on three overtime they tried it in the uh in the AHL first and they actually did four on
Four for the first four minutes and then they did they moved it to three on three in the final three minutes so actually overtimes in the AHL were seven minutes at one point so just little stuff like that is good testers to see what what works and what doesn’t and
Overall great job by the ladies and and a great kickoff to their uh to their league well said Biz uh also chicklets TV keep an ey out for that we’re going to have a new episode dropping from our time here in Seattle of course Game notes will be dropping another episode
With them as well make sure you subscribe to our YouTube Pages all our social media uh one last note with uh I checked out the iron cloth movie good stuff the uh von Eric movie if you hav seen I’ve read about it already right it honestly sounds too sad for me to watch
Yeah yeah it’s it’s definitely not not a pick me up sounds like the saddest movie of all time um or one of them it’s it’s definitely not not a pickme up but it was a well Dead movie I thought it was a nice tribute to the to the guy life and their
Legacy so uh any final notes other than happy New Year to our listeners boys um no I mean I wasn’t very dialed in because I went to Caro so I know that maybe there’s not as much hockey talk and we forgot to mention some of your your teams especially with how chaotic
And how many games there were over that stretch of time over the holidays but we’re back in the swing of things uh a great week at the Winter Classic incredible job by the NHL but uh we’re back in the mix we’re going to have some great interviews coming out and uh Happy
Happy New Year to everybody go Team USA Thursday semi-finals Friday final world junor everyone enjoy that and yeah we’ll be back next week we’ll be back a little quicker because you’re listening on Wednesday we’ll be back on our usual Tuesday and we’ll be all fired up to

ESP the teachers trying to change your kids sex
The Iron Claw was an incredible movie.. cried 3 times in the theater
GOAL GOALFIELD
Caufield 22 lets go
Worst part about your boy not thinking you’re good, we can’t even go on the ice and prove it anymore because we might just prove him right. The game ain’t the same 😂
Ian is wrong, Terrace is the centre of the middle of nowhere. The middle of nowhere was Usk, New Hazelton, and ugh, Reno. Terrace is considered the regional hub. But to do anything other then forestry or trucking or trades, you have to leave. Always nice to see a fellow Terracite make it. I gotta disagree about his appraisal of Mr. Dreger, I loved his low key history class, a lot of people fell asleep, but I got the highest exam mark in History exams in the province for 1986. So props to Mr. Dreger, he was a good teacher. Bert Kreischer is cringe. Ian is very funny, even the joke about apologizing for only naming white guys was spot on about where we are today. Thanks for having Ian on the show guys!
"Ahhhh, ahhhhh, Svechnikov"
Why is crossfit bad for hockey players?
Love this Caufield kid! Great personality. I named my fantasy team
🥜CaufielDeezNuts🥜
And his MOJO has carried me to 12-0 this season (not a big deal!)
Love the content, u guys are my goto for YouTube and Spotify boys. Keep em buzzin
Yeah, I knew about that. Russia story probably 20 years ago as should every Gretzky fan.
11:28 RA going to High School games to scout for his next Prom date?
work boots, shorts and a lumber jack shirt, yup that's a terrace tuxedo. Ian should use that in his next terrace benefit concert, it would kill there.
Grinneli is such a loser
Happy New Years boys! Looking forward to another year of laughing my ass off at your shenanigans and getting my hockey fix.
go to school where Cole grew up, hes an absolute legend around there now. Pavelski also is from right nearby
You absolutely can gamble on sports in Canada lol
Detroit literally won their 3rd game of the season 4-0. Sick stat Whit
Need a Barzal interview
Caufield need to play with someone that other teams target more on defense than him so he can shadow and score. Simple
WJC has always been hampered by bad refs.. scratch the surface and its a clown tournament. its garbage.
The world juniors sucks. Hockey Canada is the most corrupt organization going
Amateur hour: Whit poppin' those P's without a windscreen on his mic.
gotta appreciate biz trynna loosen cole up abit. U could tell he was loosening later on in the interview. Would have liked to hear more questions about his time in MTL tho
Man Whit really quit the Oilers, doesn't matter how well they've been playing since Knoblock came in, can't even buy a comment from you guys. McDavid scores a 5 point night getting his 900th point and fucking crickets out here.
You guys gotta bring Slaf on now!!
Love the extra guests and how they’re barely related to hockey but down to hang with the boys. More musicians/comedians who are into hockey!!
I live in Alaska. Thanks for the positive shout out biz
canucks get brought up for 30 seconds and pigeon tossed because of biz’s adhd brain bouncing around topics lol. RA better get a grip on these topics so we can get in depth analysts instead of jumping topic to topic without any real talk about it. just a mention and moving on
20:11 "obviously a minority owner" well said biz
There isn't a door in the world you can't get a hockey goal through if you do it right.
Ian’s an all timer. Gotta get Bert Kreischer. Big Kings fan
"One small crap for Yands, one giant poop for Bizmankind ." (Paul Bissonette)
Get a maine black bears vs unh outdoor game
Everything is so special to hockey players
Someone commented this exact thing would happen with the net to Whitney building the net in the wrong room either on instagram or youtube hahahaa classic. Glad it came to be for a good laugh at his expense.
Pettersson to Chicago makes no sense, he has said he wants to play for a winner and Canucks are finally doing decent. Chicago is years away from the playoffs.
Caulfield is quite the chad huh.. very talented on ice and special talent but wow.. what a snooze interview ngl; think he kept touching his AirPods about 80 times through this
Nobody is even talking about Zegras pulling off the Michy the same night.
Biz needs to get howler to face Bouy in a boxing match
Talbot went 21-9-4 when Luundqvist hurt his neck in 2015, and he had a run that was an even better record.
I speak hammered but RA's sentences are getting worse and worse fast I can barely understand him now
If you dont like contact watch basketball
Even the girls game has hitting now so its time to grow the fuck up
Crackhead Forrest Gump , I eat a chocolate and never know what I’m gonna get hahahhaha
Bizzy boy loves the girls rubbing other girls out eh
They didn’t black out any of the women’s games that’s for sure ffs
