Speaker 1: June seven, twenty eighteen, t Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Speaker 1: Lord Stanley's Cup is in the building. With seven thirty
Speaker 1: seven left to go. In the third period, the first
Speaker 1: year Vegas Golden Knights are tied with the Washington Capitals.
Speaker 1: Brett Conley rips the shot from the slot. Marc Andre
Speaker 1: Flurry makes the save, but the puck trickles in. Though
Speaker 1: this is game five of the twenty eighteen Stanley Cup Finals,
Speaker 1: you're here joining games with names presented by win Bet.
Speaker 1: I'm Julian Edelman, I'm Samurel, and this is the search
Speaker 1: for the greatest games of all time. But we have
Speaker 1: a special, special special guest PFT from Barstool the Man.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a pro am. I'm a
Speaker 1: little scared. I'm a little intimidated because you know, he's
Speaker 1: always I like one of those father son events. Just
Speaker 1: come on, Yeah, you can putt for me, all right? Thanks? Dad?
Speaker 1: Is this the Part three Masters? Yeah? Those tournaments are awesome.
Speaker 1: I love the Part three. But whenever they hit the
Speaker 1: shots that like skip across the lake and they do
Speaker 1: all the trick stuff, Yeah, well we'll do that. I'll
Speaker 1: be uh your caddy today. I like it all right?
Speaker 1: What should I hit off the tee here? Straight up?
Speaker 1: Should I just be like, this was the greatest night
Speaker 1: of my life? Because for me, when you ask me
Speaker 1: what game I want to do, I thought to myself, Well,
Speaker 1: there's some games I could talk about. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not a professional athlete. I played my sports for the
Speaker 1: love of the game, unlike you. So all the games
Speaker 1: that I would talk about there aren't. You know, it's
Speaker 1: not presented by Gellett Razors. It's not glitzy and glamour.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not on primetime TV. I'm talking stuff
Speaker 1: deep in the heart of Texas, off the grid. You'll
Speaker 1: never see it on camera. That's where I like to
Speaker 1: do my work, kind of under the radar. But this
Speaker 1: was not the greatest game that I've participated in. This
Speaker 1: was probably Yeah, I'm gonna say this was the greatest
Speaker 1: night of my life start to finish. It's more like
Speaker 1: the greatest night ever, the great night. This is better
Speaker 1: than the r words winning Super Bowls in the eighties.
Speaker 1: Well I was I was two years old when they
Speaker 1: won their first one. I don't really remember that much.
Speaker 1: There's so many uses for our wards now It took
Speaker 1: me a second. Were they called that, I was like another, Well,
Speaker 1: now I call them the Sea Words. Now that the
Speaker 1: Seawards Washington Sea Words, which is a lot nicer. But
Speaker 1: I know, I don't remember. I was blackout when I
Speaker 1: was two years old, so I don't recall that. And
Speaker 1: then I was six, and I remember some of that
Speaker 1: game in nineteen ninety one. Don't be deceived. It's the
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one Super Bowl, even though on the back
Speaker 1: of our jackets now on our official team Crest it
Speaker 1: listed as nineteen ninety two. They made a mistake when
Speaker 1: they made the team Crest. That's something that only the
Speaker 1: Sea Words could pull off, you know. It's It's kind
Speaker 1: of true though, because the Super Bowl is played in
Speaker 1: the actual next year, so it technically happened in ninety two,
Speaker 1: but it is definitely wrong. It's like the ninety one
Speaker 1: you're the ninety one NFL champions. Yeah, but the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl was played January whatever, like twenty ninth, nineteen ninety two,
Speaker 1: so I remember a little bit of that game. I
Speaker 1: just remember after the game, my dad got me a
Speaker 1: can of coke that had the Washington Arwards logo on it,
Speaker 1: and we just kept that up on my mantle, and
Speaker 1: that was like our shrine to our local sports team.
Speaker 1: It's the sadist shrine. Ever, it started a fade after
Speaker 1: like three years, and it just stayed up there for
Speaker 1: like ten years. And I do the same thing with
Speaker 1: Santa Pax. As a Jew, I like the Coca Cola
Speaker 1: Santa Pax. For some reason, it was like a forbidden
Speaker 1: fruit to me. I don't know. Yeah, it was not
Speaker 1: the greatest trophy that we had, but it ad meant
Speaker 1: a lot to me as a kid growing up. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I remember when my teams weren't all total losers back then.
Speaker 1: So I grew up a Washington Arwoods fan, and then
Speaker 1: the Capitals were always like that second tier team for me,
Speaker 1: but I would go to more Capitals games. It was
Speaker 1: closer to my house, tickets were more affordable, so I
Speaker 1: would go to those games more frequently. I grew up
Speaker 1: loving the Capitals. We made the Stanley Cup in like
Speaker 1: mid nineties, got swept lost in four straight games, and
Speaker 1: after that it was just like a NonStop parade of
Speaker 1: playoff heartbreak for me. As a Capitals fan. I would
Speaker 1: go almost every year. I think I went to like
Speaker 1: four games in a row in the playoffs where we
Speaker 1: got eliminated, and I didn't go to any games in
Speaker 1: between that. So, like I've I grew to hate the
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Penguins, I grew to hate Marc Andre Fleury, who
Speaker 1: will get to in a little bit because he was
Speaker 1: a big part of this game too. But the Capitals,
Speaker 1: they were the closest that I got to tasting success
Speaker 1: in any team that I rooted for, like as as
Speaker 1: relatively speaking an adults. So this was a like I said,
Speaker 1: it was the greatest night of my life because some
Speaker 1: of the stuff that happened after the game was over
Speaker 1: was even crazier than what happened on the ice that night.
Speaker 1: I've heard that you've actually you drank from the Cup.
Speaker 1: I drank from the Cup? From the Cup too? Oh really? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What year was it? Twenty eleven Bruins. Bruins, Yeah, Shawnnie Thorty, Thorty,
Speaker 1: Sean Thornton. Were they were they pumped to have you
Speaker 1: around or was there anybody on the team that was like,
Speaker 1: who's this guy wise here drinking on the Cup? It
Speaker 1: was early in my career, so like they really didn't
Speaker 1: know who I was, but Sean Thornton was. He's just
Speaker 1: a beauty. Yeah, as they say in hockey, what is it?
Speaker 1: He's such a butte this guy, and he he let
Speaker 1: me come over and take a little little sip of
Speaker 1: Grandpa's old cough medicine out of the cup. I love it.
Speaker 1: There are definitely some guys that were around me that
Speaker 1: were giving me the side. I like, who the fuck
Speaker 1: is this guy drinking out of my Stanley Cup? They
Speaker 1: just wanted like three hours before, some of the guys
Speaker 1: on the team knew who I was, and I think
Speaker 1: they were instrumental in helping me get to the place
Speaker 1: where I was like close enough to the cup to
Speaker 1: drink out of it. But there were a couple of
Speaker 1: guys that were just like I think Dimitri Orlov was one.
Speaker 1: There's a picture. I don't know if you guys have
Speaker 1: the picture, but I'm drinking out of the cup. I
Speaker 1: can get to that whole story. I can do it later,
Speaker 1: which well we might as well. You're you're feeling hot,
Speaker 1: you might as well go, let's hear it. So so
Speaker 1: after the game's over, we're in Hakkisan, which is the
Speaker 1: club at the MGM, I believe, and a couple of times,
Speaker 1: so I was namely establishment. Yeah, it's a nice place. Family, yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: definitely some families made in there. After the game was over,
Speaker 1: I was wearing my shorts that I had worn into
Speaker 1: the arena. It was hot out that day. It was
Speaker 1: you know, classic Vegas weather, probably like ninety two degrees
Speaker 1: something like that, and I wore shorts of the game.
Speaker 1: And then after the game was over, when my friends
Speaker 1: that was in town, was like, Hey, I'm actually hanging
Speaker 1: out with Larzella and his family. My family has like
Speaker 1: a relationship with him, so we're invited to their suite.
Speaker 1: After the game, went up to the suite, hung out,
Speaker 1: partied there for a little bit. Then we went to
Speaker 1: Hakasan and there were a few Capitals that I was
Speaker 1: with at the time, and they were like, yeah, just
Speaker 1: come on by. You don't need to like go home
Speaker 1: or anything, don't need to change into nicer clothes, just
Speaker 1: come to the club. So I show up to the club.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing shorts. Everybody else is wearing like club outfits.
Speaker 1: But I came like drenched in beer, just looking like
Speaker 1: a mess. And the guy at the door it was
Speaker 1: like me and I don't know, four or five Washington
Speaker 1: capitals and their girlfriends or whatever. And the guy at
Speaker 1: the door was like, you can't come in. I was like,
Speaker 1: I was. I was halfway expecting that anyways, because I'm
Speaker 1: not on the team. But they were like, no, dude, dude,
Speaker 1: you're good. Just go buy a pair of pants and
Speaker 1: come back and we'll wait here at the door for
Speaker 1: you and we'll get you in. I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: they're trying to get rid of me, so I'll go
Speaker 1: buy the pants and then i'll come back. They'll probably
Speaker 1: be gone whatever. So then I go on a mission
Speaker 1: to find pants in Las Vegas, which is harder than
Speaker 1: you think it might be, is it. Well, if you're
Speaker 1: inside a casino. Here's not a hotel. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 1: like a malinus in the casino. They want you to
Speaker 1: spend all the money. Yeah, they're not open all night.
Speaker 1: So this was probably like, I don't know, eleven thirty
Speaker 1: at night, something like that. So I walked around. I
Speaker 1: found the gift shop. The gift shop in the MGM
Speaker 1: had pants and I was like, perfect, I don't care
Speaker 1: what they are, I'm buying them. And I asked the lady.
Speaker 1: I was like, do you have pants here. She was like,
Speaker 1: we have one more pair of pants left. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'll buy it. She goes, do you want to try
Speaker 1: it on? Nope, I don't care. If they're pants, that's
Speaker 1: all I need. So she sells me the last pair
Speaker 1: of pants in the building. There are these giant khakis.
Speaker 1: They're massive. The waste is probably like a forty two
Speaker 1: on them, and it looks like Mitt Romney at a
Speaker 1: jazz game. Yeah, yeah, exactly, like just giant flat front.
Speaker 1: I put them on and they're just falling off left
Speaker 1: and right. I'm holding them up with one of the
Speaker 1: belt loops. The belt loop snaps because I'm pulling up
Speaker 1: so hard on to keep these goddamn pants on. And
Speaker 1: I eventually figure out a way. Okay, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hold it like this. I'm gonna walk down the hallway.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get at the club, no problem. I'm walking
Speaker 1: down the hallway and who comes around the corner in
Speaker 1: the casino but Alexavechkin, and he's got the fucking Stanley
Speaker 1: Cup in his hands, and we almost run into each other.
Speaker 1: And he's walking He's like doing this like big strut
Speaker 1: down the hallway. He's got a probably like fifty people
Speaker 1: following him, like taking pictures, and he's just singing, I
Speaker 1: am the champion, my friend, and he like almost walks
Speaker 1: over me. I'm like, fuck yeah, let's go over. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, where he's going, that's where I'm going. We're
Speaker 1: going to the same place probably, and so I follow him.
Speaker 1: They let him, and they don't they don't care what
Speaker 1: he's wearing, just because he's got the Stanley Cup. They
Speaker 1: let him right in and then the guy stops me
Speaker 1: again at the door. I was like, I got pants, bitch,
Speaker 1: and they're like, okay, we'll get you back to the
Speaker 1: back area where where the team is hanging out. There
Speaker 1: there's some people in management at the team that I
Speaker 1: had become friendly with over the years, and a couple
Speaker 1: of the hockey players there recognized me. They're like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're coming back party with us for a little bit.
Speaker 1: And then a couple of minutes later, the pants are
Speaker 1: falling off. They're just like falling. I can't keep them up.
Speaker 1: I look ridiculous, and a security guard comes over to me.
Speaker 1: He flashes me with a flashlight in my eye. He's like,
Speaker 1: excuse me, sir, come with me. I was like, I
Speaker 1: knew this time would come. I've been kicked out a
Speaker 1: lot of places. This feels like one of those situations.
Speaker 1: So I start following the guy out and then he
Speaker 1: sends me over to another security guard who's flashing a light.
Speaker 1: He's like, this is the guy, and then that security
Speaker 1: guard flashes his light to another security guard and then
Speaker 1: escorts me directly behind the stage where Diplo is playing.
Speaker 1: He's on stage. Yeah, I think it was Diplo. He
Speaker 1: was doing the DJ stuff at Hakasant for the capitals.
Speaker 1: OVI is like on the mic with him, asking him, hey,
Speaker 1: play Jesse's Girl. Play Jesse's Girl. So Diplo like stops
Speaker 1: his set. Maybe it's Chesto. I forget. It was one
Speaker 1: of those one name guys. And so Ovi's like singing
Speaker 1: Jesse's Girl as loud as he can. I'm being walked
Speaker 1: directly behind Ovi as he's like celebrating the time of
Speaker 1: his life. And then they turned me around the corner
Speaker 1: and there's the cup right in front of me, and
Speaker 1: they go, do you want to drink out of it?
Speaker 1: And I was like sure. It was filled to the
Speaker 1: brim with beer. So it was a heavy ass cup.
Speaker 1: So I picked it up and then somebody helped me,
Speaker 1: like from the bottom, lift it up, and I take
Speaker 1: that sip right there that we're looking at, and you
Speaker 1: can't see from this angle, but the guy in the
Speaker 1: white shirt if you scroll up a little bit, the
Speaker 1: guy in the white shirt right there, his face is
Speaker 1: cut off. That's Dmitriolov from the Washington Capitals. And the
Speaker 1: look on his face is like, get this guy off
Speaker 1: my fucking Stanley cup. Like he had no idea what
Speaker 1: I was doing. I still don't know what I was
Speaker 1: doing there. I think it's out. Yeah, there he is. Wow,
Speaker 1: there's Demitriolov right there, and he's just fucking furious that
Speaker 1: I'm drinking out of his cup. And so then I
Speaker 1: put it down. And then then I do get kicked
Speaker 1: out for a second because one of the players are
Speaker 1: one of the guys back there, thought that somebody, some
Speaker 1: random guy just ran up and drank out of their
Speaker 1: Stanley cup. So they kicked me out momentarily. Then I
Speaker 1: got brought back in for the rest of the party.
Speaker 1: Was a wild snapped the picture, just some random guy
Speaker 1: that was there, and so he was a listener of
Speaker 1: part of my take. He was like, oh fuck, it's pft.
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, I'm about to drink out of
Speaker 1: the cup, can you please take a picture for me?
Speaker 1: And so he took that picture. I got his number,
Speaker 1: I got the text from like two hours later. I
Speaker 1: think I was gonna end up with any evidence of
Speaker 1: it whatsoever. But yeah, one of the craziest moments of
Speaker 1: my life right there, for sure. Can we talk about
Speaker 1: leading up to this because you hate the Penguins with
Speaker 1: a passion? Yeah, I mean it's like Crosby and Ovechkin
Speaker 1: drafted together two of the best of all time. I mean,
Speaker 1: can you go through just your hatred. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it was like every year it seems like they would
Speaker 1: bounce us out and we were always the two best
Speaker 1: teams out of the East. But the way that the
Speaker 1: NHL Playoffs are set up, they don't really protect they
Speaker 1: It's more about like the separating the divisions from each
Speaker 1: other and how how the brackets are set up. So
Speaker 1: it was like every year we would play the Penguins
Speaker 1: in the second round, it felt like, and we just
Speaker 1: had a lot of really heartbreaking losses of them. I
Speaker 1: remember two thousand, shit was like two thousand and nine
Speaker 1: twenty ten where the series went back to DC for
Speaker 1: Game seven. I was really pumped for that and they
Speaker 1: scored like six goals on us in the first period. Uh.
Speaker 1: There's just been like a lot of times where it
Speaker 1: was like, the Capitals are the best team in the
Speaker 1: entire NHL during the regular season, and then we're going
Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs and we're going to run
Speaker 1: into the hottest goally. Ever, it was always like that.
Speaker 1: One time that happened with Hendrik Lunguist, we were better
Speaker 1: than the Rangers and we and we lost them. He's
Speaker 1: just too handsome. He's too handsome. I agree, he's really
Speaker 1: good looking. Everybody named Hank. I feel like it's just
Speaker 1: an absolute lady co team Hank Hank Hill not really,
Speaker 1: No Hank Hill could Hank. Aaron was good looking. He
Speaker 1: was big hands, big hands. Know what that means. Yeah,
Speaker 1: big gloves, big big gloves. Yeah, big gloves. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it was it was just year after year of running
Speaker 1: into disaster in the playoffs, and it really it beat
Speaker 1: me down as a fan for a while, and I've
Speaker 1: I reached a point where I never thought that it
Speaker 1: was going to happen until this year. And we got
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and I was like, you know what
Speaker 1: this team feels. It was after the first the first
Speaker 1: series against Columbus, I think we were down to nothing,
Speaker 1: and then game three and overtime we won, and I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I'm officially back. I feel like this
Speaker 1: team might be different. And we had a we had
Speaker 1: a fun team to root for me And it felt
Speaker 1: like everybody was rooting for the Caps that year too,
Speaker 1: trying to see Ov get his first his first Stanley Cup.
Speaker 1: Like it's like Dirk or Elway or guys who everyone
Speaker 1: wanted to get one, and it took him a while.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, it made it better in retrospect that
Speaker 1: it waited that long where everybody, they all got their
Speaker 1: jokes off. It was like every year after Ov would
Speaker 1: lose in the playoffs, somebody would tweet out that meme
Speaker 1: of like Ov holding the golf clubs like it was
Speaker 1: a Stanley Cup. It's like, oh, first of all, Ov
Speaker 1: doesn't play golf. He's rushing. Okay, that's he's an insane athlete.
Speaker 1: I bet he could play pretty good golf. So his
Speaker 1: mom was an Olympic basketball player. Dad didn't was his
Speaker 1: dad in the Olympics as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: got I mean he's got athlete blood. His first round
Speaker 1: of golf that he ever played, he hit a hole
Speaker 1: in one. He's not a golfer, but they took him
Speaker 1: out one day and he hit a fucking hole in
Speaker 1: one the first time ever out. Hockey guys are really
Speaker 1: that's like the same kind of motion. Those guys are
Speaker 1: studs at golfing. I feel like people that are are
Speaker 1: really good at like three point shooting, yes, and foul
Speaker 1: shots are also good at golf. Hunters, yeah, hunters, No punters, oh, punters,
Speaker 1: hunters and kickers. Yeah, because they do the same motion.
Speaker 1: They're they're in their psycho in the head a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they just get locked into this one thing that they
Speaker 1: do repeatedly. So I I was almost at my wits
Speaker 1: end with the Capitals. I was like, if it doesn't
Speaker 1: happen this year, it's never going to happen. Well, it
Speaker 1: did happen. Those were our first initial thoughts to this game,
Speaker 1: which is obviously the loss of a Vegas Nights in
Speaker 1: their first year ever in existence. Getting to the Stanley
Speaker 1: Cup Final playing against pft's Washington Capitolis. Now on this podcast,
Speaker 1: we break down what was going on in regular life
Speaker 1: pop culture. What were we doing on the day of
Speaker 1: the game or in the era of the game. This
Speaker 1: game June seventh, twenty eighteen. Number one movie Ocean's eight. Hmm.
Speaker 1: Didn't see it? Did you? Never saw it? Oceans e?
Speaker 1: Was that the one? The real cast? Yeah? I think
Speaker 1: I saw that, like the day that I got back
Speaker 1: from Vegas. Actually I came back and I was so
Speaker 1: hungover from my trip. I was like, I just got
Speaker 1: to go sit in a cold room for three hours
Speaker 1: and try to like sweat out or not sweat up,
Speaker 1: but try to like just get whatever it is out
Speaker 1: of my body, like when you reset myself to zero.
Speaker 1: Just just a bunch of alcohol. And yeah, just a
Speaker 1: bunch of alcohol. There's a lot of alcohol. It'll do
Speaker 1: that to you. Not a great not a great? Uh,
Speaker 1: I guess. Review for the movie, well, you know what,
Speaker 1: I sucked. Never saw I gave it. I gave it
Speaker 1: zero stars. But I did fall asleep for almost all
Speaker 1: of it. The real heist was paying the all female
Speaker 1: cash lesson they would have paid men. Julie Roberts was great,
Speaker 1: That's what I thought. I thought she was great. In
Speaker 1: that movie. I was never an ocean's guy. Oh, the
Speaker 1: first one's all right, we get it. Heist movie. You
Speaker 1: don't like a heist movie. I like a heist movie.
Speaker 1: But it was it was all right. I feel like
Speaker 1: I saw it without even seeing it. You remind me
Speaker 1: of the gymnast in the first one a little bit,
Speaker 1: the Asian guy. Yeah, it's just a real nimble It's
Speaker 1: a real nimble cat like a squirrel. You'd probably always
Speaker 1: land on your feet. Right if I threw you out
Speaker 1: of this building right now? What floor are we on?
Speaker 1: FI five? You'd probably land on your feet. I'd land
Speaker 1: on my feet and both of my tib and FIBs
Speaker 1: would just be shattered because I have no cartilage or
Speaker 1: ligaments or anything in my knees right now. So I
Speaker 1: learned a fun fact about squirrels. You probably already know
Speaker 1: this as one yourself. Yeah, but you know that squirrels
Speaker 1: they can't die by falling out of a tree. No,
Speaker 1: Their terminal velocity is too slow where when they hit
Speaker 1: the ground, it's not gonna be enough to kill him.
Speaker 1: So you could throw a squirrel out of an airplane
Speaker 1: and it would be fine. No way, Yeah, you can't
Speaker 1: throw it out of an airplane. You should squirrel. I
Speaker 1: swear to God. You want me prove it? Prove it? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll prove it. Hang on, just give me one second.
Speaker 1: I've got an expert. I've got a squirrel guy. Who's
Speaker 1: this squirrel guy? Billy football? Buddy? Are you bringing Billy football?
Speaker 1: But does you know who my squirrel guy is? This
Speaker 1: kid knows everything about animals, footballs, that's about it, and
Speaker 1: like performance enhancing drugs. No, that's you, your buddy, Rodney Harrison.
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't walk me into that one. Jewels,
Speaker 1: Come on, hang on, he's I got my squirrel guy
Speaker 1: coming in hot? Does he pick up You got to
Speaker 1: pick up the boss better? I know that he doesn't
Speaker 1: have anything else to do. Hey, Billy, Hey, I'm here
Speaker 1: with jewels. All right, looks good. I said that you're
Speaker 1: my squirrel guy. You're my squirrel expert. Is it true?
Speaker 1: Could you throw a squirrel out of an airplane? And
Speaker 1: would it survived? You could? Technically it won't because of
Speaker 1: the fall, but he could die from like being thrown
Speaker 1: out of an airplane and like getting hit by the
Speaker 1: jet engine or something like squirrels damage it because they're
Speaker 1: like evolved that their terminal velocity is too low to
Speaker 1: kill them on impact. So it's just cool cool facts
Speaker 1: about squirrels. That is cool fact. All right, Billy, thank
Speaker 1: you for being my squirrel guy. Thanks, Billy, get back
Speaker 1: to work. He's fishing. He's fishing. It's like four o'clock
Speaker 1: on a Monday in New York. Billy, where is he
Speaker 1: fishing on the Hudson. I don't know. I've learned not
Speaker 1: to ask too many questions when it comes to Billy.
Speaker 1: Just like, if it's a small thing that I'm upset about,
Speaker 1: just let it slide. But one thing Billy did not address. Also,
Speaker 1: if you throw a squirrel out of an airplane, the
Speaker 1: oxygen if you're up super high, is so low that
Speaker 1: the squirrel will probably suffocate on its way down. There
Speaker 1: wouldn't be enough for it to breathe into his little
Speaker 1: squirrel lungs. But the fall would not kill the squirrels,
Speaker 1: is the important part. I think he'd be all right
Speaker 1: with them there. I mean, they got heart s, gruls
Speaker 1: or nimble, you do you know what I mean? Some
Speaker 1: of these ridiculous trends CBD cures all you guys, remember
Speaker 1: that kick into twenty eighteen. I used some CBD. Still,
Speaker 1: I'm a fool. I don't know if it works. I
Speaker 1: use it every day. I think it's placebo for the
Speaker 1: most part. I think so it's like it was also
Speaker 1: a bunch of people being like I want to get
Speaker 1: as close to doing weed as possible without doing weed,
Speaker 1: you know, like, oh, you can buy this weed at
Speaker 1: a gas station and give you like no psycho psychoactive
Speaker 1: effects whatsoever. CBD like the inflammation queen that you would use.
Speaker 1: I feel like that worked a little bit, but it's
Speaker 1: not because of CBD. I think it had like actual
Speaker 1: other antif they can put this stuff that gets you
Speaker 1: high and get you high when you put it for
Speaker 1: the Tiger Bomb, Yeah, I used to inject CBD. I
Speaker 1: would freebase it sometimes I would mainline it between your toes.
Speaker 1: Yeah it didn't work at all. Yeah, I'm a keyster myself.
Speaker 1: Boof it. I like the boo boof and CBD. We're
Speaker 1: getting this. That's the least amount of anxiety I've ever
Speaker 1: felt in my life. What's this in my life? Dance challenge?
Speaker 1: Oh the yeah that Drake remember the music video where
Speaker 1: he just sat and danced all day? Is that what
Speaker 1: this is? This is kind of a bummer and kind
Speaker 1: of a downer. But I do remember on this day,
Speaker 1: like I was just getting back to the hotel at
Speaker 1: like six am and I checked Twitter and it was
Speaker 1: like Anthony Bourne Boordane just killed himself. Oh yeah, And
Speaker 1: I was like, must have been a huge too. I
Speaker 1: remember that too because I was playing a gig in Timonium, Maryland,
Speaker 1: staying off the side of a highway in a holiday inn,
Speaker 1: and I was like, if this guy's killing himself, what
Speaker 1: chance do I have? Yeah, I mean his his life
Speaker 1: was like we're gonna pay you millions of dollars to
Speaker 1: go to the coolest cities and yeah, now we're getting
Speaker 1: too a dark place. Let's just let's get back to
Speaker 1: hockey guys. On this same day, Jerry Mayern, last surviving
Speaker 1: Wizard of Oz Munchkin, died at ninety eight. It's a
Speaker 1: good run for a Munchkin, it is. Yeah, it's the
Speaker 1: hell of a run. Yeah, the last survival people they
Speaker 1: have like a pack What was going off? What you
Speaker 1: said that? That was the character in on the show
Speaker 1: that they were called like the little Munchkins, Right, how
Speaker 1: many oopa loopas we got around kicking from the chocolate fact.
Speaker 1: He remember that song of I used to love that song?
Speaker 1: And uh what did what did Sam tweet? I didn't tweet.
Speaker 1: I guess what do we got from Julian? What did
Speaker 1: I go? Rkk? It was his birthday? Oh Bob Kraft rkk?
Speaker 1: Or no wait, yeah, the best man. I know. Your
Speaker 1: kindness carrying a passion for everything New England is an inspiration.
Speaker 1: He just got a big Lifetime Achievement award at the
Speaker 1: Business Sports Business Journal Awards. I went to. He's pretty
Speaker 1: good with everything. I mean, he gives a lot for
Speaker 1: a lot. And uh, how many of the shirts does
Speaker 1: he own? The like blue shirts with white collars on him?
Speaker 1: He switched it up. What's he wearing? He doesn't wear
Speaker 1: the collar, the pink the pink title. The collar is
Speaker 1: very like eighties Wall Street. It's kind of cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like that about him. Yeah, now I feel like
Speaker 1: he's gotten cooler, way cooler. He's got his own They're
Speaker 1: called Aircraft Ones. Oh really, yeah, they call him the
Speaker 1: Aircraft Ones. They're actually like a custom air Force one
Speaker 1: limited edition. Got a pair of them. They're pretty tight.
Speaker 1: They're a little bedazzled black white, white, white soul. It was.
Speaker 1: It was pretty insane. It hangs out Meek Mills. Meek
Speaker 1: Mills brought him onto the stage. I mean, you call
Speaker 1: Meek Mills meek Mill, like he's a cereal meek Mill.
Speaker 1: Meek Mill, Yeah, meek millilly guy. No, that's what that's
Speaker 1: what happens. That's when you can tell that you're starting
Speaker 1: to like become your father, is when you start pluralizing everything.
Speaker 1: Let's go, like, what are your kids playing the Nintendo's
Speaker 1: Chicago Illinoise what. So, now we're going up to the
Speaker 1: run of this playoffs and the Pittsburgh series versus the Caps.
Speaker 1: Can you take us through that? The bet every thing
Speaker 1: that you go all out with. Yeah, so I'm trying
Speaker 1: to remember exactly what the bet was that we had
Speaker 1: for that series. I remember watching Game six. We were
Speaker 1: on a flight out of New York going down to
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge. We're gonna meet and interview Coach Oh for
Speaker 1: the first time, and we get on this airplane and
Speaker 1: it's basically me Hank Big Cat. I think I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if Liam was with us or not at that point,
Speaker 1: but it was a very small crew. We were almost
Speaker 1: the only people on that on that flight, and the
Speaker 1: game went into overtime, and I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: three years of seeing the same movie happen to me
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, I was like, well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose this game in overtime. Then the Penguins
Speaker 1: are gonna fucking smash us game seven, like five to nothing.
Speaker 1: So I was in I was super anxious. We end
Speaker 1: up winning that game because nets Off scores in overtime.
Speaker 1: He does the bird celebration. I start running up and
Speaker 1: down the aisle on the airplane freaking out. The flight
Speaker 1: attendant brings me a bottle Mini champagne. I pop that
Speaker 1: thing open. I'm like, I can't believe that we're doing this,
Speaker 1: can't believe it's actually happening. So that was one of
Speaker 1: the best, one of the best couple of days that
Speaker 1: I've had as a sports fan, not only just winning
Speaker 1: that game, but also getting to like share my joy
Speaker 1: with Coach O. The next day, I was wearing like
Speaker 1: an a Vegkan shirt he was. We talked for a
Speaker 1: second about like being a hockey fan. Coacho doesn't know
Speaker 1: shit about hockey, by the way, Like why would he?
Speaker 1: He's from like Louisiana. Yeah, deep Louisiana. He's probably never
Speaker 1: seen ice in his life ever, and so he was
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I'm happy for I'm you seem like
Speaker 1: you seem like you're a good fan. Now did you
Speaker 1: get a little nightmares? Because the first time that the
Speaker 1: Capitals went to the Stanley Cup Final, they got swept
Speaker 1: by Detroit. That's were you starting to feel feel a
Speaker 1: little nervous that like this could be deja vus. We
Speaker 1: get there, we get over the hump of beating the Penguins,
Speaker 1: and now we gotta go battle in the championship against
Speaker 1: some like destiny team. Would happen? Actually there was a
Speaker 1: series in between that, so I felt like at the
Speaker 1: time when we beat the Penguins, I was like, that's
Speaker 1: huge for us because this never happens. It never happened,
Speaker 1: So this team is different. But we still had to
Speaker 1: play against the Lightning Lightning and in the finals, and
Speaker 1: they were a really good team and they still are.
Speaker 1: Isn't it kind of crazy to think of a Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: Florida team really they're like they're dominant in hockey. Well
Speaker 1: that's what that's the Tom Brady magic. So there they
Speaker 1: became dominant in hockey once Tom Brady moved to Tampa
Speaker 1: and then the uh, the Ray has got good at baseball.
Speaker 1: The Rays made the World Series. It's just everywhere Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: this guy is it just wins, just excellent. I mean
Speaker 1: San Francisco when he was there, that's when the Niners
Speaker 1: had their their run. Also, I think the porn star
Speaker 1: capital of the country, Tampa is it everywhere time goes
Speaker 1: they win. I know that's Jimmy G with the porn stars. Okay,
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. We don't talk enough about the fact that,
Speaker 1: like Jimmy G got a lot of ship for that picture.
Speaker 1: But he was taking her out to dinner like he was.
Speaker 1: He was treating her like a gentleman would on a date.
Speaker 1: He wasn't like sliding in the DMS be like yo,
Speaker 1: can I come over? Egg plant emoji, water emoji. He
Speaker 1: was like, would you like to go out for a
Speaker 1: nice meal? Yeah, let's go a nice meal at the
Speaker 1: most paparazzi spot in downtown Beverly Hills. Like those are
Speaker 1: just nothing but great decisions for keeping anything V I
Speaker 1: think it's very thoughtful for him to do that, Like
Speaker 1: we we should be applauding him, like who says chivalry
Speaker 1: is dead? He's going to take you out to Nobu
Speaker 1: first before you go back. That, I mean, that's the
Speaker 1: kind of guy Jimmie g Is. I guess you know
Speaker 1: he's Those Italians are just smooth. I feel like he
Speaker 1: could have taken her to Subway and still banged her, though,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like he needed to take her to Nobu.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I don't know. It's a classic guy.
Speaker 1: I think he's a classic guyball Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: Although their foot longs aren't a foot long are? They
Speaker 1: had that class action lawsuit. Turns out they were all
Speaker 1: eleven inches not twelve, and so they were defrauding America,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, for years and years and years. So
Speaker 1: we straightened that right out. And their bread is made
Speaker 1: out of yoga. Man. I'm fine with that though, like yoka,
Speaker 1: it tastes good. Great tuna is not really tuna, it's dolphin, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Subways had some pretty adverse situations to overcome. Jared Fogel,
Speaker 1: This is we don't RG three. It could be argued
Speaker 1: that RG three is a work worst spokes before your
Speaker 1: brand that Jared Fogel, what do you think I'm joking
Speaker 1: about that? I love Archie. Yeah. How do you think
Speaker 1: he's doing on TV? I think he's doing okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like finding his his groove a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it takes you a while. I mean, you know, how
Speaker 1: do you think Jared Fogel is doing in prison? And
Speaker 1: I know you know, Julian, you're actually like I I
Speaker 1: watch your stuff on inside the NFL. It's good. You
Speaker 1: do good on TV RGE tomorrow, gotta go to the
Speaker 1: Emmy's got nominated? Oh really, we'll see you and how
Speaker 1: many other people they nominate everyone? I know? But hey,
Speaker 1: still a resume builder, it is. And you can say, like,
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life, I won an Emmy,
Speaker 1: which is part I don't know if I win it.
Speaker 1: I think there's a couple of people are gonna win nothing.
Speaker 1: But what are you nominated for? What am I nominated for? Jack?
Speaker 1: Up and comer? Up and coming? Wow, I'm up and coming.
Speaker 1: The bad thing is like, you can't get nominated for
Speaker 1: that twice? Can't like that? Wells is up and coming?
Speaker 1: Who's in ther who's in our group? Jack? We got
Speaker 1: for the Sports Emmy of Outstanding Sports Personality. Emerging on
Speaker 1: air talent is the technical name Eyler Rooks, Greg Olsen,
Speaker 1: Eli Manning, and Jules. Wow, Taylor's gonna win. She's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Taylor, I feel like she's already here, like Taylor's
Speaker 1: been around for a while. That's a stretch of the
Speaker 1: definition of up and coming. I think that's actually just
Speaker 1: sneaky good. It's disrespectful Taylor Rooks that she's included like
Speaker 1: a newcomer award, like she's been good for a long time. Eli,
Speaker 1: is he's your your biggest competition Yet again, wouldn't that
Speaker 1: be something? Fucking Eli? Cover five down the sideline, He's
Speaker 1: gonna toss that away to right in front of you. Jesus,
Speaker 1: I was literally right in front of that catch. Here's
Speaker 1: a good pass. It was a spectacular pass, but it's
Speaker 1: technically like the worst place to go with the ball
Speaker 1: in that coverage. He should never thrown that ball. Should
Speaker 1: never have thrown that ball. You should never throw that ball.
Speaker 1: I mean, a real student of the game would know that.
Speaker 1: But so then, yeah, you get the series against Tampa,
Speaker 1: and how are you feeling at this point? I felt
Speaker 1: I felt okay going into that series. Then I got
Speaker 1: nervous as it went on. But the guy that turned
Speaker 1: that series around for us was Tom Wilson. Because Tom
Speaker 1: Wilson he gets a lot of shit. People say he's
Speaker 1: a dirty player, But if you ask everybody in the
Speaker 1: NHL do you want this guy in your team, they'd
Speaker 1: be like, absolutely, that's the perfect guy that I want
Speaker 1: my team. He will beat the fuck out of you.
Speaker 1: He will hit the shit out of you, and he's
Speaker 1: a great goalscorer, and he's a good guy in a
Speaker 1: teammate and he's a man rocket. So if you just
Speaker 1: wing men for him all the time, you get the runoff,
Speaker 1: you're doing great. So everybody on the team loves Tom Wilson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm getting these stories from like chick Lits because
Speaker 1: the chick Lits guys love him. He's been on that pop.
Speaker 1: They're incredible. Yeah. And Biz has a way of talking
Speaker 1: to them that just makes them like open up about everything.
Speaker 1: Isn't hockey talk like some of the funnest stuff to
Speaker 1: listen to when you hear too, Like, And even the
Speaker 1: guys that are from the United States that play hockey
Speaker 1: sound Canadian, yeah, because they're around Canadians all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And like just there there. Terms of endearment are like
Speaker 1: completely different and nothing like you've ever heard, and like
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's fucking one of it's crazy. It's
Speaker 1: also addicting being around hockey guys. You start to use
Speaker 1: their language, got it, and they're vernacular all the time. Uh.
Speaker 1: There was one time we're talking to Ryan Whitney, I think,
Speaker 1: and we asked them about hockey nicknames, like what's the
Speaker 1: flow chart like for a hockey nickname? Because you're either
Speaker 1: gonna be like and you're gonna put the word or
Speaker 1: the letter why at the end of it, or you're
Speaker 1: going to put like er at the end of it.
Speaker 1: So it's like, uh, grets I guess Gretzky is a
Speaker 1: bad one or no. So like they called Wayne like
Speaker 1: Wayne oh sometimes and you sometimes you just toss a
Speaker 1: y at the end of it. You're like Willy, we're
Speaker 1: gonna call them willy or over you know, like you
Speaker 1: have you just put like these three suffixes at the
Speaker 1: ends of all these names and boom. That's how you
Speaker 1: get there and that's that's who you are for the
Speaker 1: rest of your life. And I'm always curious how because
Speaker 1: Thorty was thirty. Yeah, Tom Thornton was thirty. I'm curious
Speaker 1: how Paul Bissonett got the nickname biz Nasty, Like, how
Speaker 1: nasty of a guy do you have to be for
Speaker 1: other hockey players to be like, yo, this guy is disgusting.
Speaker 1: When they call the terrible the Nazi, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: you're bad even for a Nazi, you know. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: guy sucked. Yeah, that's exactly that's a perfect way to
Speaker 1: describe biz Nasty. Yeah. I love the hockey ays, but
Speaker 1: we were down. We were down actually in Tampa for
Speaker 1: this game seven at the Eastern Conference Finals, and the
Speaker 1: game before, Tom Wilson had just beaten the ship out
Speaker 1: of somebody on the lightning I forget who it was,
Speaker 1: and we got the We got great seats for this,
Speaker 1: and we were close enough to like hear the sound
Speaker 1: of Tom Wilson's knuckles like destroying guy punching a guy's
Speaker 1: helmet off as he's like smiling. I remember watching the
Speaker 1: dude's helmet go flying away and Tom Wilson's like laughing
Speaker 1: like a maniac as he's doing it, and I was,
Speaker 1: I was. I was very pumped to be to be
Speaker 1: in the crowd for that game. And at that point
Speaker 1: I was like, I was so so confident going into
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup. I was so confident actually that we
Speaker 1: won Game two in the Stanley Cup to level the
Speaker 1: series at one to one. I was out at a
Speaker 1: bar here in Soho and the server brought over champagne bottles.
Speaker 1: I was like, you want to pop these champagne bottles.
Speaker 1: I was like, hell, yeah, I do, And so we
Speaker 1: got behind the bar and started popping champagne bats was
Speaker 1: a Caps bar and I go into work the next monday.
Speaker 1: He didn't feel like that was bad luck at all,
Speaker 1: popping it early. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have, but
Speaker 1: I went into work. That's confidence right there. And Portnoy
Speaker 1: was like, what the hell are you and Nate doing
Speaker 1: popping these champagne bottles. You just won one game at
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup finals. I was like, that's that's where
Speaker 1: Dave's inner, like Boston sports fan came out. Yeah. He's
Speaker 1: telling me that. Yeah, he's like do your job. He's
Speaker 1: telling me to act like I've been there before. Like
Speaker 1: I've said, I've never seen a Washington Capitals Stanley. It
Speaker 1: was to win for the you know, for the R
Speaker 1: words and in sixty. It was a blur and they've
Speaker 1: been around since what seventy four, They've never won. You know,
Speaker 1: the Capitals they won a Stanley Cup. I want to
Speaker 1: say in like forty didn't they win one in like
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy something? I don't know, checked Jack, Jack, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, you're the capitalist guy. You gotta
Speaker 1: know that, Caitles. I don't know. Maybe I just maybe
Speaker 1: I misremember, maybe probably think about the Yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about it. I'm thinking about the Bullets when they
Speaker 1: won back back in the day. But I've literally never
Speaker 1: seen the Capitals win a Stanley Cup finals game before.
Speaker 1: I thought maybe it was like one of those rinky
Speaker 1: dink like early like sixties when there were like twelve
Speaker 1: teams and maybe they stole one then, but it was
Speaker 1: it was a situation where I'd never seen any sort
Speaker 1: of success in the finals before, and so I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to pop this bottle and
Speaker 1: I don't care. I was just so excited to get one.
Speaker 1: It's a loser mentality for sure, but I'm a loser, Like, hey,
Speaker 1: who are you talking talking to here? I've never won
Speaker 1: anything before, well, at least the Jinks didn't come out.
Speaker 1: They would go on to win it, and they were
Speaker 1: against an expansion team. I mean, this is crazy. They're
Speaker 1: going against a Vegas this is our first year existing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So game one when they beat us, I was I
Speaker 1: went to a dark place for a little bit and
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what this this would be
Speaker 1: the absolute worst if we lost to a first year
Speaker 1: team with Marc Andre Fleury, the goalie, goalie from the
Speaker 1: Gennsburg Penguins that had just ruined my life for like
Speaker 1: twelve years NonStop. So the thought definitely went through my
Speaker 1: mind that where I was like, uh, maybe not. But
Speaker 1: then Game two, that's when Holtei had his save, one
Speaker 1: of the greatest saves I've ever seen hockey, where he
Speaker 1: just reached his stick out across the goal line as
Speaker 1: he was diving, brushed it off the goal line. We
Speaker 1: end up winning that game. After Game two, I actually
Speaker 1: felt I felt really good about where we were. Confidence
Speaker 1: was soaring, soaring, soaring. Then we went back to DC
Speaker 1: one two in a row, we're up three to one.
Speaker 1: It's in the bag? Is it in the bag? By then,
Speaker 1: well after game were there there was no there was
Speaker 1: like no sense of they could come back. You guys
Speaker 1: knew you had it done. After Game four, I really
Speaker 1: felt like it was it was gonna happen because Game four,
Speaker 1: I think that's when OV came out there and he
Speaker 1: was wearing like the Van Drago outfit before the game.
Speaker 1: I think he was wearing like a bathrobe and like
Speaker 1: a towel around his head, and he was talking to
Speaker 1: the media with this big ass chain and he was
Speaker 1: just like we captioned it and sold a bunch of
Speaker 1: shirts that just said like if they die, they die
Speaker 1: on it with OV, and I was like, this is
Speaker 1: we're I'm confident because Ov's confident at that point. And
Speaker 1: so we won Game four I want to say, like
Speaker 1: six to two or something like that, and uh, going now,
Speaker 1: going to Vegas, I did feel like when I got
Speaker 1: to the hotel, I was like, did I feel like,
Speaker 1: I I, this is gonna be the most painful of
Speaker 1: all of them if I just flew all the way
Speaker 1: out here to watch them. Motel to treat yourself. I
Speaker 1: think it was Caesar's Palace. I'm pretty sure was Caesar's.
Speaker 1: So it was. It was a decent room. It wasn't
Speaker 1: didn't break the bank or anything. They got the builder trip,
Speaker 1: they got good, they got great villas. I've never been
Speaker 1: to it. They have like like you have your own pool,
Speaker 1: and or is that the win? I think it's the win.
Speaker 1: I think Caesar has some sick palin for the and
Speaker 1: and the win too. The wind has amazing. It's definitely
Speaker 1: the win. Amazing. But yeah, I uh what is this? Oh?
Speaker 1: There we go? Yeah, they die, they die. See that's
Speaker 1: a pretty that's a pretty badass outfit, right. You see
Speaker 1: that guy coming at your pre game and you're like,
Speaker 1: we're done. He'd be someone that'd probably be insanely cool
Speaker 1: to like root for, just because you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: besides besides the putin stuff I've had to do, besides that,
Speaker 1: besides that, of course terrible, but like he is lovable.
Speaker 1: He is. He's a lot of fun. Like the joy
Speaker 1: that he gets out of out of playing hockey and
Speaker 1: scoring goals. Like he scores fifty goals a season, but
Speaker 1: every time he scores he acts like it's his first time.
Speaker 1: It's like a little bit Brett Favre in that way
Speaker 1: where he smiles, he jumps into the ball, has a
Speaker 1: great time out there. He actually lives really close to
Speaker 1: where my parents live now in McLane, and occasionally if
Speaker 1: I go back to visit them, I'll be like going
Speaker 1: for a walk around the neighborhood or taking the dog
Speaker 1: out or something. I'll see Ov just like biking a
Speaker 1: BMX bike up and down the street. Wow, just like smiling,
Speaker 1: having a great It's actually funny. The first time I
Speaker 1: saw him, I was taking the dog for a walk
Speaker 1: and I'm going around this lake and there's this woman
Speaker 1: that's walking towards me, and she like smiles and waves
Speaker 1: at me, and I'm like, oh, hey, how's it going.
Speaker 1: I was like, that is a very beautiful woman that
Speaker 1: just said hi to me. And then about like two
Speaker 1: minutes later, see OV riding his bike right up the
Speaker 1: street a BMX bike. He was rehabbing from an mcl
Speaker 1: and that's what he was doing, just like pedaling his
Speaker 1: bike back to GT Interceptor. Was not even a mountain bike, no, dude.
Speaker 1: It was like the bikes that we used to ride
Speaker 1: when we were like eight years old. Pegs have pegs
Speaker 1: on it. I think he did. You know what I
Speaker 1: just got out of this story that you probably grew
Speaker 1: up very rich if you live in the same neighborhoo oh,
Speaker 1: so you're not far off in that the neighborhood is
Speaker 1: very rich, but it's it was like my grandfather's house
Speaker 1: that he built in like nineteen forty before there was
Speaker 1: anything in that neighborhood. So it's a small, tiny little
Speaker 1: house that just got surrounded by these giant mansions everywhere.
Speaker 1: So no, I grew up. I grew up. My mom
Speaker 1: was a teacher and my dad couldn't work, so it
Speaker 1: was good. Yeah, having a teacher. She molded the future exactly,
Speaker 1: that's why you're so that's why you can speak. So
Speaker 1: I bet because she was a teacher. Because your mom's
Speaker 1: a teacher. She was an orchestra teacher. So yeah, so
Speaker 1: maybe maybe not the whole speaking thing. But I can't play.
Speaker 1: I think I can play. Oh to join in the violin? Still,
Speaker 1: can you? I think so? I mean it translates to guitar,
Speaker 1: and so like that's where I learned. I learned music from.
Speaker 1: But no, I did not, by any means grow up
Speaker 1: grow up Bridge. But now the neighborhood is like super
Speaker 1: super wealthy, and so I just got this confidence boost.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, man, this beautiful woman just waved.
Speaker 1: I mean, she gave me this like really nice smile.
Speaker 1: And then uh, I see ov rids bike back towards me,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wait, that's definitely like Ovie's wife that
Speaker 1: just said hi to me, And so I looked her
Speaker 1: up on line. I was like, yep, that's who she is.
Speaker 1: And then she walked past me later and she was like,
Speaker 1: I see your dog out all the time. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to come by and say hi to it. And
Speaker 1: I was like okay, and so she's pet the dog
Speaker 1: walked away. I was like, no, she just liked the dog,
Speaker 1: not me. Back to back to the cellar with with me.
Speaker 1: So Ovie's wife was hitting on you. No, I'm saying
Speaker 1: she just liked the dog out of respect to ov.
Speaker 1: I would never. I would wow, I would never. I
Speaker 1: didn't know you had that kind of games. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: energy right there. If you give me a dog, that's
Speaker 1: when I'm at my best. Then, little dog, this was
Speaker 1: a big boy. This is a big boy. But my
Speaker 1: move with a puppy. I used to sell used dogs.
Speaker 1: That's why I called my job. But I was really
Speaker 1: just you know, I worked for like a dog adoption
Speaker 1: non dogs growing up, and so I used to to
Speaker 1: get more donations for my nonprofit. I would pick the
Speaker 1: puppies up and then it's like a I would drive by,
Speaker 1: which is give them a little puppy wave we would
Speaker 1: like to hand. And then it was like a magnet.
Speaker 1: They just pull over and just go over. Put some
Speaker 1: money in the jar for the dogs. And then also
Speaker 1: where we you know clearly the other team was the
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Knights, first season ever, first pro team in Vegas.
Speaker 1: So they had they had a little steam record fifty
Speaker 1: twenty four and seven, one hundred and nine points, first Pacific,
Speaker 1: third in the Western Conference, beat La beat my San
Speaker 1: Jose Sharks beat Winnipeg, broke the record for the most
Speaker 1: wins for expansion team in their first season, which was
Speaker 1: previously thirty four. First expansion team in pro sports to
Speaker 1: finish above five hundred that did not join from a
Speaker 1: different league. They had this whole expansion draft. Hout do
Speaker 1: you know what do you do? You know how this
Speaker 1: thing goes? The expansion draft. I remember they changed some
Speaker 1: of the rules to make it more competitive. They wanted
Speaker 1: this team to be good right for the get go. Oh,
Speaker 1: so you think that this was designed was rigged? It
Speaker 1: was rigged NHL rigged, well, they were. They wanted to
Speaker 1: have the they want to have a team in Las
Speaker 1: Vegas be successful. They didn't want that to be a
Speaker 1: flop from the get go, So the way that the
Speaker 1: draft was set up, they got much better players than
Speaker 1: you would normally get from that. The NFL should take
Speaker 1: a book out of that and put a new team
Speaker 1: in norh DC and then maybe a real team in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. That would be nice new team. I actually
Speaker 1: think that if you created an expansion team in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. It would have more fans instantly than the
Speaker 1: Seawards have. Right now, we're down that bad. I'm dead serious.
Speaker 1: Like the entire city is like, we don't we don't
Speaker 1: give a shit about the Seawards. We're like, this is
Speaker 1: too much for me to care about. Until Dan signed
Speaker 1: ourselves a team. Wasn't it one of the biggest, like
Speaker 1: most profitable franchises though until just recently they had the
Speaker 1: biggest stadium in the National Football League for like the
Speaker 1: longest time ninety thousand. Yeah wow, and it's a shithole
Speaker 1: and it sucks. Well, didn't someone almost die there? A
Speaker 1: lot of people? It was RG three and then no,
Speaker 1: that was Philly, Or was that some of the stadium hurts.
Speaker 1: Some of the stadium collapsed almost onto jail and hurts
Speaker 1: this year, damn, which, yeah, that would have been that
Speaker 1: would have been bad. There was like a sewage leak
Speaker 1: earlier this season where the sewage was pouring onto people.
Speaker 1: There was another pipe that burst or a sprinkler that
Speaker 1: went off and flooded a part of the stadium. It's
Speaker 1: just bad. It's soulless. That's what I don't like about it.
Speaker 1: You can build a decent sized stadium. You can build
Speaker 1: a ninety thousand seat stadium. If it has like a
Speaker 1: little bit of personality to it, that's great. But this place,
Speaker 1: it's just a cement bowl designed to pack as many
Speaker 1: people in as possible, and it's got these columns and
Speaker 1: some of the seats that you sit behind and you
Speaker 1: can't even see the fucking field. It's like from twenty
Speaker 1: yard line to twenty yard line you're just behind a
Speaker 1: pole and you can't see anything whatsoever. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: hate that place. That reminds me, reminds me of Candlestick
Speaker 1: back in the day when they used to share the
Speaker 1: stadium with the Giants. They'd roll out the bleachers, and
Speaker 1: I would sit you brought like a like a curt
Speaker 1: and of milk, and you can get like a ticket
Speaker 1: for like eleven bucks or something or ten bucks, and
Speaker 1: they'd sit you in an area where you literally couldn't
Speaker 1: see the game because were they the bleachers would come
Speaker 1: out to make form up the stadium for the football team.
Speaker 1: It would be over in this corner and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: eighties design was not there, but at least it had
Speaker 1: like a little a little soul to it, right. The
Speaker 1: stick was awesome. He had personality. The stick was also beautiful,
Speaker 1: beautiful stadium. Well it's not there anymore, yeah, but uh
Speaker 1: it was. It was an amazing place. The things we
Speaker 1: remember about this game the pregame, theatrics at Golden Knights games. Yep,
Speaker 1: they know how to throw a party in Vegas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually it's very cool if you've never been to
Speaker 1: a Golden Knights game. At the time, since it was
Speaker 1: a Stanley Cup finals, I was like, look at this
Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse cartoon, Disneyland shit. Before that, I was like
Speaker 1: mad about it because I was like, this isn't hockey.
Speaker 1: Though I'm not like a hockey guy that would traditionally
Speaker 1: be like you know, ending up for the lore of
Speaker 1: the sport or like being humble. At the time, I
Speaker 1: was just I wanted the game to get started. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was candy As. It was absolutely Candias. So before
Speaker 1: the game they brought out like all these archers and stuff.
Speaker 1: It was like Medieval Times, which is maybe one of
Speaker 1: my favorite places. Medieval Times is awesome. I just didn't
Speaker 1: want to deal with that before the game. But there
Speaker 1: were it was like a fifteen minute like play that
Speaker 1: they put on like a like dinner in a in
Speaker 1: a combat theater before the game even started. And also
Speaker 1: we did have a bet going into this game. There
Speaker 1: was a bet me against John Taffer from Bar Rescue.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, because he was he's a big Vegas guy.
Speaker 1: He's a huge Golden Knights fan, and so tradition of
Speaker 1: sporting there, Yes would be a big Golden Knights guy.
Speaker 1: They just started the tradition. The city, like Las Vegas
Speaker 1: actually got really behind the Nights when they first came out,
Speaker 1: like they were the people that live in Vegas were
Speaker 1: pumped to have a sports team there because like usually
Speaker 1: their entire like all their economy is built around like
Speaker 1: other people from ou the town, this was like their
Speaker 1: thing that they have together. So it was the fan
Speaker 1: base was actually pretty cool there. And Taffer was like,
Speaker 1: if the Capitals beat the Knights in the Stanley Cup,
Speaker 1: I'll have you on bar rescue and I'll name a
Speaker 1: drink after you. Whoa, And so I forget what I
Speaker 1: had to do for him if we had lost, but
Speaker 1: we ended up winning, and then I think we're still
Speaker 1: trying to figure out when we can pay off that bet.
Speaker 1: What kind of drink are you thinking? Like a bud
Speaker 1: late Seltzer or a mad Dog a mad Dog cocktail?
Speaker 1: Do you like mad Dog twenty twenty? Since a pf
Speaker 1: T Lord Stanley's Cup, that's your drink. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: pf T T e a Yeah, and they serve it
Speaker 1: in like a Stanley Cup replica. If he does a
Speaker 1: bar rescue in DC, I'm gonna make him do that.
Speaker 1: That's a good idea p f T. Yeah, like a
Speaker 1: MIC's Hard tea or where do they have those? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have, like a like John Daly a
Speaker 1: mix of of vodka, yeah, with a mad Dog floater
Speaker 1: John Daily they called that. Yeah, So there's the Actually
Speaker 1: I might make them do like a margarita. This is
Speaker 1: what I've been making a lot recently, where you crush
Speaker 1: up cool Ranch to Rito's and then you put that
Speaker 1: on the rim rim Yeah. The trailer. That sounds good.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Yeah, because you get that little yeah,
Speaker 1: that little fire from the chips. Yeah. Oh, flaming hot
Speaker 1: cool Ranch sturritos. That would be really good. Yeah. Guy
Speaker 1: plays instruments. He has an award winning a podcast. Guy,
Speaker 1: have we won awards? I don't know if we've won
Speaker 1: any awards? Have you not? Well? I think you are
Speaker 1: in my eyes you have. I know. We get nominated
Speaker 1: every year for what is the iHeart Award. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: they give that award to like whoever says that they'll
Speaker 1: show up to the awards ceremony, and so every year
Speaker 1: we lose to somebody new. It's like a rotating cast.
Speaker 1: And so this year it was us against like Colin Coward,
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons, and then the other. The third nominee was
Speaker 1: like a once every four years, a look behind the
Speaker 1: female athletes in the Olympic Games and we're like, well,
Speaker 1: we're not winning again this year. I think I know
Speaker 1: who this one. Things we also remember this was a
Speaker 1: backdoor sweep. What is it they call that a gentleman sweep?
Speaker 1: That a gentleman sweep, back door sweep. I liked that.
Speaker 1: I've never heard backdoorswee heard that gentleman sweep is if
Speaker 1: you win, if you win four games and you lose one, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a gentleman's gentleman sweet door stoop. I've never heard
Speaker 1: though either. I like that. This is also the Stanley
Speaker 1: Cup with the celebrations of ov those were always priceless
Speaker 1: to watch on. He was always promoting drinking, which I
Speaker 1: like out of an athlete. You don't hear a lot
Speaker 1: of athletes be like, go get a beer now, Like
Speaker 1: I like that energy out of a pro. I mean
Speaker 1: he was drunk for a Russian like was It was
Speaker 1: noteworthy how drunk he was. And the entire team I
Speaker 1: think they were on a bender that lasted like three weeks. There.
Speaker 1: They would just show up to a different place in
Speaker 1: DC hammered and shit. I remember one time they went
Speaker 1: to like one of the fanciest restaurants in Washington, like
Speaker 1: Suit and tie place that you have to have reservations
Speaker 1: for like a month two months in advance, and it
Speaker 1: was like a quiet evening. They showed naked and then
Speaker 1: like yeah, then it's like Ovi and Tjoshi walking through
Speaker 1: the door shirtless and they're just like give me all
Speaker 1: the liquor, and the entire place just like melts down
Speaker 1: into a rave just because Ovi came in. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: it's time to get drunk right now. Right after they
Speaker 1: won the Cup? Though, can I tell the story about
Speaker 1: like how I experienced the last two minutes of this game?
Speaker 1: Are we gonna do it? What do you want to
Speaker 1: do it? Like chronologically? Here we'll go through chronologically, we'll
Speaker 1: go that's a tease. That's a tease, that's a professional.
Speaker 1: I don't want to jump ahead on the on the
Speaker 1: rundown of the show, so I'll wait. Things we may
Speaker 1: forgotten Flurry's incredible postseason up to that point. Four shutouts,
Speaker 1: a percentage save of ninety four to seven crazy, also
Speaker 1: a third straight SDF appearance, although he was benched in
Speaker 1: each of the last two years. That has to be heartbreaking,
Speaker 1: or like you gotta be so nerve nervous when you're
Speaker 1: a Capitals fan and you see these incredible stats by
Speaker 1: Flurry just came over from the Pittsburgh Penguins, I was
Speaker 1: I was. I was a little bit nervous before the
Speaker 1: series started, but again, like the way that we were
Speaker 1: playing after after the first game, I felt like Team
Speaker 1: of Fate, We're yeah, Team of Destiny were a team
Speaker 1: of destiny. Uh, let's go to the gaming corner real quick,
Speaker 1: presented by win bet. So we're doing it a little
Speaker 1: differently this episode with the gaming Corner presented by win bet.
Speaker 1: We had to do this before PFT got here because
Speaker 1: he's going to be joining in on our whole episode.
Speaker 1: So we have this is like full mission sneak sneak
Speaker 1: attack mission on this. What are you thinking for the
Speaker 1: prop bet? What do we do? How do we get him? Huh?
Speaker 1: What's a fun phrase that we can say? They do?
Speaker 1: Call the trophy Lord's Stanley Cup. That's good. That's an
Speaker 1: annoying thing to say too. I know Lord Stanley Cupp
Speaker 1: did I said, Lord Lord? It's Lord stan Lee's, it's
Speaker 1: his possession. So he's been Does that mean he's been knighted?
Speaker 1: Is that like? Is it like Tim Horden's That's all
Speaker 1: they talk about up there, their nightings. I don't know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, but yeah, I think Lord Stanley's
Speaker 1: Cup is plenty annoying. Let's many times over under four?
Speaker 1: Can we hit four? Can we hit four? All right,
Speaker 1: let's try to remember we never remember. Yeah, it depends
Speaker 1: on how the flow of the show is going. That
Speaker 1: seems high, but we'll see what we could do. Let's
Speaker 1: let's try, all right, tell us break down how the
Speaker 1: last couple of minutes went. First period, no goals zero.
Speaker 1: I went outside. I remember I found I'm not a
Speaker 1: cigarette smoker, but when I'm in Vegas, I definitely smoke SIGs.
Speaker 1: And they have this. They have the nicest cigarette porch
Speaker 1: in America at this stadium. So I went outside. It
Speaker 1: was like couches and shits set up. They have a
Speaker 1: cigarette station. They have like an outdoor lounge just for
Speaker 1: Ja Vegas. Yeah, I had a great time. So I
Speaker 1: blew off some steam there, came back in, but I
Speaker 1: bought two hundred and fifty dollars worth of fifty to
Speaker 1: fifty Raffle tickets. Then Big Cat hit me up. He
Speaker 1: was like, get me two hundred and fifty dollars worth
Speaker 1: two and so I got those. I was just like
Speaker 1: trying to occupy my mind. I knew once the scoring happened,
Speaker 1: it was going to get crazy, and I just needed to, like,
Speaker 1: I needed to center myself. Yeah, so as all the
Speaker 1: great yogis teach, go out, burn a few lung darts
Speaker 1: and then gamble, and so that's what I did and
Speaker 1: came back inside. The scoring gets started. I felt okay
Speaker 1: from the start with the only problem was I think
Speaker 1: we hit the pipe twice. I think we there were
Speaker 1: two shots that went off the post right. I think
Speaker 1: it was left. I think it was upper left hand corner.
Speaker 1: OVI hit a shot that might have hit two posts
Speaker 1: at the same It was a double doink. You know.
Speaker 1: You know what that reminds me of what when Gordon
Speaker 1: Bombay hit the post against the Blackhawks. Yeah, I'm a
Speaker 1: triple deck. If it was a quarter inch to the right,
Speaker 1: would have gone in, would have gone in. Yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: he would not have been as hungry to go back
Speaker 1: and beat the Black Knights, that's true. Or the what
Speaker 1: are the the Golden Knights? No, the Blackhawks? Black? Were
Speaker 1: they the Hawks? And D two or D one? I
Speaker 1: don't know, Mighty Ducks. I forget what what team they played?
Speaker 1: The Hawks? Yeah, I know it's Iceland and D two.
Speaker 1: That was D two C two Gunner My bed for
Speaker 1: interrupting not so good. I remember seeing Ov hit the post,
Speaker 1: and I always feel like, if you hit the post
Speaker 1: twice and it doesn't go and you don't get a
Speaker 1: goal out of either one of them, that's a game.
Speaker 1: But you're always gonna lose because you're gonna go back
Speaker 1: and think like, oh, that shot, Like you said, that
Speaker 1: shot should have gone in. But once the scoring got started,
Speaker 1: I felt confident until the end of the second period
Speaker 1: when we fell behind. I think it was three to
Speaker 1: two at the end of the second period, so I
Speaker 1: need to change up the juju a little bit, so
Speaker 1: I went outside, had another couple of cigarettes, then went
Speaker 1: downstairs the morals that cigarettes are good, yeah, and gambling
Speaker 1: and gambling yeah. Somewhere in the in between that, I
Speaker 1: lost the fifty to fifty ravel spoiler alert again. So
Speaker 1: I went to the bottom row or bottom bowl, and
Speaker 1: then I found this are that had a lot of
Speaker 1: caps fans. I was like, Okay, I'm gonna go sit
Speaker 1: with these people, and right when I got down there,
Speaker 1: that's when dsp scored his goal. Where it's actually a
Speaker 1: lot like the catch that you had against the Falcons,
Speaker 1: where you just like lay out your you know, off
Speaker 1: your feet and you just concentrated the last second you're
Speaker 1: able to haul it in. That's what DSP did on
Speaker 1: that goal. Uh, and that was the tying goal. I
Speaker 1: believe on that one. Oh I did. I did taunt
Speaker 1: the Golden Night mascot in the second period. I forget
Speaker 1: what I said to him. I was just in a
Speaker 1: weird zone. But the Golden Night mascot, I was basically
Speaker 1: like flipping him off it like a mascoti night. I
Speaker 1: think this one was like like a Medieval Times guy
Speaker 1: like I think he was wearing the armor and stuff
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, and so I was just a
Speaker 1: fun maskot. It is like I in retrospect, I really
Speaker 1: liked the franchise was it was a business trip. I
Speaker 1: was there to destroy them. So it was still like
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns where they just have a gorilla and
Speaker 1: you're like, why a gorilla? Oh, there will be no
Speaker 1: rilla slander on this spot. Really Yeah, well gorilla, I
Speaker 1: know he's awesome though he just dunks. It's a gorilla
Speaker 1: that dunks. He's the best mascot maybe in sports. He
Speaker 1: goes off the trampolines, he has flips and shiites. I
Speaker 1: just don't understand how you go from Sons to Gorilla.
Speaker 1: I guess that's my thing. But it is a good mascot,
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. And the Knights have good mascots too,
Speaker 1: and I do enjoy like the theatrics around it. I'm
Speaker 1: glad that the entire sport isn't like that, but I
Speaker 1: feel like Vegas should be, Like it's very authentic to
Speaker 1: like what Vegas is. So yeah, DeVante Smith Pelly, he
Speaker 1: scored on Yeah, it was yeah, Brooks or pick a
Speaker 1: system on that one. At that point, I was, I
Speaker 1: was so pumped, Like it was such a beautiful goal.
Speaker 1: What because you see that, you see a player that
Speaker 1: you root for, like laying out like that for a goal.
Speaker 1: And that's when as a fan you're like, these guys
Speaker 1: care more than I care about this, and that's a
Speaker 1: good feeling to have. Leave got to leave it all
Speaker 1: on the ice. Yeah, And that's what they did, and
Speaker 1: they did and then we got another goal Laura Zella
Speaker 1: and and at the end of the game, I remember
Speaker 1: the last two minutes of the third period they pulled
Speaker 1: the goalie out and there were like three or four
Speaker 1: plays in a row where we immediately just iced it.
Speaker 1: We just got it, and we just sent it down
Speaker 1: to the other end, and like maybe a total four
Speaker 1: seconds ticked off the clock. So I started doing the math.
Speaker 1: How many more times do we have to do this
Speaker 1: to win the game? Is this what the rest of
Speaker 1: the game is going to be like? And then this
Speaker 1: was the worst ever. We win a face off and
Speaker 1: we're like battling for the puck and the clock just
Speaker 1: turns off. The game clock turns off entirely. So I'm
Speaker 1: sitting here, I have no idea how much times left.
Speaker 1: Something's rigged, something's going on. My buttthole is puckered up
Speaker 1: to like the size of a lemon seed. I'm freaking out.
Speaker 1: I'm sweating. I have no idea what's going on. No
Speaker 1: one in the stadium, like, for all we know, the
Speaker 1: clock's not ticking at all at this point, and we
Speaker 1: missed a couple of open nets by a matter of feet,
Speaker 1: and then eventually the clock comes back on with like
Speaker 1: thirty seconds left. That's an eternity, by the way. So
Speaker 1: you're a pucker up kind of guy. Huh, when you
Speaker 1: got pressure, you puck her up. Yeah, my body becomes
Speaker 1: air tight, So you gotta have that. Tom Brady Jean.
Speaker 1: He doesn't puck her up, he gets loose. I guess
Speaker 1: he gets loose. He just doesn't puck her up, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. Tom Brady's got a loose butthole. He starts
Speaker 1: here first, He's got it's called the clutch gen guys,
Speaker 1: or the loose butthole, whichever you prefer. The clutching sounds better.
Speaker 1: Well again, I'm not I'm not a winner, like I'd
Speaker 1: never won anything before. It's hard for me to believe that.
Speaker 1: And my butthole tightens up doing movies like I'll see,
Speaker 1: like you ever see Eastern promises the steam room scene
Speaker 1: where he's like fighting dudes off button naked, My butthole
Speaker 1: was it was a lemon seed like you're saying, it
Speaker 1: was terrible. Only time I puck her up. My buttholes
Speaker 1: when I'm doing g forces in a plane, because that's
Speaker 1: how you, that's how you. You don't pass out. You
Speaker 1: gotta puck her up. How many how many gees have
Speaker 1: you pulled in a plane? None, but that's what I've
Speaker 1: heard they did. No, I'm supposed to go to the
Speaker 1: Blue Angels here soon, oh eighteens. Yeah, so I've been
Speaker 1: you know, kind of prepping for that. I gotta watch
Speaker 1: Top Gun too tonight. And are you going tonight? I'm
Speaker 1: going tonight. Where's it playing tonight? There's like this uh
Speaker 1: little private okay screening? Here we go, you know somebody, Yeah, Miles,
Speaker 1: Miles Tell Miles Teller's throwing this thing. I don't I've
Speaker 1: never met him, but I did see him once. We did.
Speaker 1: They both like we went to We went to a
Speaker 1: movie once in La and it was Miles Teller was
Speaker 1: in line. And in La, if you go to the
Speaker 1: movie theater and the movie already started, they won't let
Speaker 1: you in. So we had our tickets. We went to
Speaker 1: go get some food and they wouldn't let Miles Teller
Speaker 1: or me into the movie because we were late. What
Speaker 1: movie was it? Don't even remember? This was a Miles
Speaker 1: Teller movie. I don't think so. So I, mister Teller,
Speaker 1: you can't come and see Whip Last. I'm fucking this
Speaker 1: was like ten years ago. He was just like getting
Speaker 1: into the stage. I was like a no, buddy, I'm
Speaker 1: pissed off at you. Why cause you're going to see
Speaker 1: Top Gun tonight. It doesn't. First of all, the sneak
Speaker 1: previews for Top Gun don't even really start until tomorrow.
Speaker 1: You're going to the sneak preview of the sneak preview.
Speaker 1: I've been looking for this movie for ten years. We
Speaker 1: should say we're backlogging episodes. We tape this in advance.
Speaker 1: Top Gun. By the time this is out might be
Speaker 1: on a Blu ray laser disc whatever the hell. I
Speaker 1: will have already seen the movie too by the time
Speaker 1: that you're hearing this. So, like, I've gotten really into
Speaker 1: flight simulators recently. It's one of the coolst things that
Speaker 1: I do. Uh, and I like her up when you're turning.
Speaker 1: Yeah that it gives you a more realistic experience. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got it. So you're you're getting in. I've been
Speaker 1: trying to find out a way to get into these
Speaker 1: sneak previous for TIS. Dude. I guess Tom Cruise is
Speaker 1: like super crazy with this, Like he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: join Scientology Dude, you get right in. I would you
Speaker 1: skip the line? I would join. It's like when tell
Speaker 1: some Dark Secrets you get to see Top Gun. Dude,
Speaker 1: when you're in college and you sign up for like
Speaker 1: a credit card with nineteen percent APR, so you get
Speaker 1: a shirt that says Philly's blunt on it or whatever.
Speaker 1: That's what I would do for Top Gun sneak preview tickets.
Speaker 1: I would say, like whatever, scientology, Yeah, inject denias in
Speaker 1: directly into my veins. I don't give a shit, but
Speaker 1: good for you. I'm happy for you. I'll let you
Speaker 1: know how it goes good. Yeah, Please don't if you
Speaker 1: spoil it, don't spoil. I don't spoil. I'm not a spoiler.
Speaker 1: What's the legacy of this game? Pft. The legacy of
Speaker 1: this game is fucking finally, fucking fight fucking finally. So
Speaker 1: we name these games games with names. Should we just
Speaker 1: call this the fucking finally game fucking finally. That seems
Speaker 1: like the right name for it. So if the Knicks,
Speaker 1: everyone will call it the fucking fucking finally game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I'm That's what It gave me joy to watch
Speaker 1: the video of you, because I could just see that
Speaker 1: you're a real fan, and as a Knicks fan, that's
Speaker 1: the one that just hurts I want. I grew up.
Speaker 1: My first sports memory is the Knicks lose into the Rockets.
Speaker 1: You know, game seven Starks, who my favorite player goes
Speaker 1: two for eighteen, brutal, But you know, uh, someday, give
Speaker 1: me hope something. Look, we all can't be winners. They
Speaker 1: came close, and i'd rather I don't think the Knicks
Speaker 1: are close. Yeah, they had one. They had one good
Speaker 1: playoff run, kind not even really good playoff run. They
Speaker 1: won a game in the playoffs. I'm still mad at
Speaker 1: the Knicks. I love R. J. Barrett. I have won.
Speaker 1: What's the owner's name, Dolan? Dolan. So I was supposed
Speaker 1: to go to a Boston Knicks game and I was
Speaker 1: supposed to sit court side, and he wouldn't let me
Speaker 1: do it. Really, you're Boston celebrity, Boston celebri in the
Speaker 1: front row. It's crazy to me, juju, how like super
Speaker 1: super wealthy people. They shouldn't have They should have so
Speaker 1: many better things to do than to micro manage. Like
Speaker 1: what celebrity is allowed to sit near their court? What's next?
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck court side? We got to protect the garden
Speaker 1: home floor. Well, it's like maybe I don't know, they
Speaker 1: spend more time finding good basketball players. That's we do
Speaker 1: have to work on that. That would be, that would
Speaker 1: be the Knicks have to get better. I know we'll
Speaker 1: get better. I believe. Yeah, I remember at the end
Speaker 1: of this game. After it was over, with about like
Speaker 1: thirty seconds left, that's when I first started to believe Okay,
Speaker 1: it's it's like I first started unpucking. At that point,
Speaker 1: I got looser, and then I had decision to make,
Speaker 1: and my decision boiled down to thus, I was with
Speaker 1: some people that were family members of John Carlson, who
Speaker 1: is a defender, defenseman, whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 1: on the capitals, and they were like, this is where
Speaker 1: they're going to open up the gate to get on
Speaker 1: the ice if you want to come on the ice
Speaker 1: right after the game's over. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: what's the decision? That sounds well? The decision was to
Speaker 1: my left a section and a half Mark Davis was
Speaker 1: sitting over there right behind the goal and he was
Speaker 1: wearing his all white jumpsuit just looking like a like
Speaker 1: pegasus like landed behind behind the ice, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I got to get a picture with Mark Davis. So
Speaker 1: I jumped over like two superate like big dividers just
Speaker 1: to get over and took a picture with him in
Speaker 1: the stands. The selfie of Mark Davis at the last second,
Speaker 1: and then I came back and tried to get down
Speaker 1: the ice and they're like, no, you can't get down here.
Speaker 1: I said, well, I may have chose poorly on that one,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Also, like I got a picture
Speaker 1: of Mark Davis. I guess you had to be there, Davis. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I chose Park Davis. You got to drink from the cup.
Speaker 1: It all worked out. I drank from the cup and
Speaker 1: then like it was kind of cool seeing Ovi like
Speaker 1: skate around the ice holding up the Stanley Cup. There
Speaker 1: was that one lady that was on the glass behind
Speaker 1: OV and she just like took her top off, like
Speaker 1: pulled her top down on her dress and pushed her
Speaker 1: hooters up against the glass as he was skating by
Speaker 1: on national television. It's like, that's the most Vegas thing
Speaker 1: that could ever happen. Here she skate from the Spearmint
Speaker 1: Rhino for one last show. Yeah, so yeah, it was
Speaker 1: a it was a good night. It was a very
Speaker 1: very momentous night in my life, and it just it
Speaker 1: felt good to win one. Pretty awesome. You got to
Speaker 1: experience it. OV going out getting his first championship, his
Speaker 1: first Stanley Cup. This this really is does wonders for
Speaker 1: his legacy. To you. You need to get that one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he would have been forever known as like, you know,
Speaker 1: the Dan Marino, which is tough. Oh, I did forget
Speaker 1: about the bet. I can't believe I forgot about this bet. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't want to push it because I don't know.
Speaker 1: If you don't want to talk about it, No, I
Speaker 1: can talk. I forgot it, Like I I completely spaced
Speaker 1: on it. It wasn't so much a bet. As I
Speaker 1: said at some point at the start of the Capitol's
Speaker 1: Penguins series, I said, if the I would eat shit,
Speaker 1: I would eat shit for the Capitals to beat the Penguins,
Speaker 1: like I would eat horseshit. And then obviously, like you
Speaker 1: say something like that, I'm part of my take, and
Speaker 1: Hank and Big Ket just jump all over you, and
Speaker 1: they're like, well, let's define this, let's talk about this,
Speaker 1: let's let's nail you down on what you just said there,
Speaker 1: because like people say stuff like that all the time,
Speaker 1: but if you say it on the air, then it
Speaker 1: becomes a real thing. And so we worked out an
Speaker 1: arrangement where like, if the Capitals won that series, I
Speaker 1: would have to eat horse shit. And I went up
Speaker 1: to Central Park with Hank after that series is over
Speaker 1: because everyone was saying, oh, if you don't eat shit,
Speaker 1: then the Capitals are going to lose in the Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference finals because you jinxed them. And I actually kind
Speaker 1: of believe that a little bit like you. So I
Speaker 1: chose horse shit. Went up to Central Park, that's dedication
Speaker 1: right there, went up to one of the carriages, got
Speaker 1: in the back, grabbed like this. What are people saying
Speaker 1: when you're doing this. There's one of the people that
Speaker 1: is like in charge of driving the horse and carriage
Speaker 1: thing just saw me go in there, and they're just
Speaker 1: staring at me, like what is this person doing? Did
Speaker 1: you swallow it? I put in my mouth, I chewed
Speaker 1: and I tried to swell, but I immediately threw up.
Speaker 1: So I gave it an honest affort. I saw you
Speaker 1: had lemon juice with you, right, I was maybe ginger
Speaker 1: ale or somethingbe sprite. I forget, but I gave it
Speaker 1: an honest effort to put it in. I chewed it.
Speaker 1: It tastes like the grossest hay that you've ever had,
Speaker 1: and then I immediately just puked everywhere. And there's like
Speaker 1: families around me watched me do this. His family's visiting
Speaker 1: from Tokyo like, look at it. It was pretty embarrassing
Speaker 1: that Hank was there to verify that I actually did
Speaker 1: do it. Jack, did we forget anything? We're pretty clean.
Speaker 1: As far as Ovechkin's dad goes, looks like he played
Speaker 1: high level soccer. His mom, of course a hooper. And
Speaker 1: then as far as the subway tune of the old goes,
Speaker 1: there have been a couple of lawsuits, one in Ireland
Speaker 1: recently that claimed they couldn't find amplifiable amounts of tuna
Speaker 1: in I think it was six feet of subway subs
Speaker 1: tuna subs, and then it was also dismissed. Here in
Speaker 1: the US, the suits said they found detectable sequences of
Speaker 1: chicken DNA within it. Judged threw it out. So Subway
Speaker 1: skated on that one. Big big and pork not kosher.
Speaker 1: I know the Wizards did win in nineteen seventy eight,
Speaker 1: with West Unseld getting the SuperSonics four to three. I'm
Speaker 1: a moron. I knew that. I just I switched up
Speaker 1: the Wizards and the capitalism my head for a brief second.
Speaker 1: And then the Mighty Ducks played the Hawks just and
Speaker 1: they were the bullets when they won, right, They weren't
Speaker 1: the Wizards. They were Bullets. Yeah, you know what, the
Speaker 1: new expansion team for the NFL and DC should just
Speaker 1: call themselves the Washington Bullets. That'd be awesome. They were
Speaker 1: cool as Hello Jerseys, and I think it was like
Speaker 1: Calbert Cheney bullets here, like that's a clean look in Jersey.
Speaker 1: And then a little quick rundown on the origin of
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Gorilla. Apparently it started in nineteen seventy nine
Speaker 1: when Henry Rojas, a West Phoenix native who's working as
Speaker 1: a part time greeter doing singing telegrams, got called to
Speaker 1: do one at the stadium, and when fans caught him
Speaker 1: walking by the court, he kind of busted into a
Speaker 1: show and the rest is history. Ten years later he
Speaker 1: was the mascot and he's been a beloved guy in
Speaker 1: Phoenix ever since. I'll shut up, I'm wrong, it's cool.
Speaker 1: I can till you make it. I like that. I
Speaker 1: think at the Dancing Homer Simpsons episode a fucking classic,
Speaker 1: PFT named the game the fucking Finally Game. We like
Speaker 1: to score our games afterwards after we watch and then
Speaker 1: do it, and we get the medium of the totals
Speaker 1: and we come up with the score the stakes of
Speaker 1: this game? What do you think of the stakes on
Speaker 1: this game? They're up three to one. It's the Stanley Cup,
Speaker 1: but they're up three one, So yeah, we're talking about
Speaker 1: the last week. You can't go too high. If we
Speaker 1: lose this game, we lose the Cup, though, I'm convinced
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, I think if we lose, if we
Speaker 1: if it's three to two, yeah, I think they're taking
Speaker 1: three in a row off of a vein. Maybe. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen some bad shit happen before. I've
Speaker 1: seen this. Lose three to one. Where are you going?
Speaker 1: What are you going? Rangers came back from three to one?
Speaker 1: Actually they just did against ten. If it's if I'm
Speaker 1: being honest, I'll say stakes seven, okay, because it's not.
Speaker 1: It's not an elimination game for us, So I'll admit
Speaker 1: that we go start power Yeah, ov Oshi two pretty
Speaker 1: big names, Flurry, pretty big name. I'm still going to
Speaker 1: go with, like, say, like a seven, because it's it's hockey,
Speaker 1: you know, like a lot of Americans aren't. You're not
Speaker 1: drawing into the role players that much. We all know
Speaker 1: a Vechkin. Yeah, but yeah, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know too many names in this for sure. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: going seven. The game play ten. It was a great game.
Speaker 1: If you go back and you watch it, start to
Speaker 1: think it was an awesome It was exhilarating, Like even
Speaker 1: in the first period where they weren't any goals, that
Speaker 1: crazy play. The goal I I can't compare across sports
Speaker 1: nine nine four five, all right, nine point four nine.
Speaker 1: We'll give them nine four nine. The name, the fact
Speaker 1: I love the name me too. I love the name
Speaker 1: because it's so much about being a fan, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's more about yeah, like it's about the weight that
Speaker 1: went into it. FFG, fucking finally got I think about
Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs fans and how long they had to wait.
Speaker 1: You know, it's there's something cool as hell about that
Speaker 1: Red Sox fans. Yeah, the Bambino. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: would say it's eight. I'll take an eight. All right.
Speaker 1: What's our grand total, Jackie? Seven point eight seven two
Speaker 1: five seven nine? Is that? Is that below average for
Speaker 1: what you guys normally do here? I mean, you guys
Speaker 1: talked me into into downgrading the gameplay from a ten
Speaker 1: to a nine point four to nine. Now, we didn't talking.
Speaker 1: We haven't given a round ten. I don't think that anything.
Speaker 1: And we've done you know, Pats Giants eighteen, like we've
Speaker 1: done a bunch of big games. This is a huge game. Yes,
Speaker 1: a pretty good score's it's a decent score. It's a
Speaker 1: you know, if it was curved right, that could be
Speaker 1: a you know, B minus C plus. It depends who
Speaker 1: you asked to, Yeah, it depends on who you are.
Speaker 1: If you're not a hockey fan, it might not mean
Speaker 1: the same to you. Yeah, but it's also not like
Speaker 1: there's nothing crazy historic there is. It's their first championship,
Speaker 1: but this specific game, I don't know, it's kind of
Speaker 1: disrespectful to the memory of Anthony Bourne. And if you
Speaker 1: give it that low a score, like say, how can
Speaker 1: the stakes only be a seven? If he off himself
Speaker 1: right afterwards because he was so depressed? Well, you know
Speaker 1: I didn't. It was a nice fan, is it confirmed? Yeah? Huge?
Speaker 1: Well you know he had a Ryan Reeves tattoo and
Speaker 1: he was like, no, that' this camp you have? All right,
Speaker 1: that's that's a little dark. I'm sorry. Thanks for coming
Speaker 1: in into our grid iron. Yeah, it's nice in here.
Speaker 1: This is a really nice studio, as I love it.
Speaker 1: Thank you. You know it. You know, I was a
Speaker 1: little banged up as my birthday this last weekend. Thanks
Speaker 1: for the invite to the party and to the Top
Speaker 1: Gun premiere. You're a great friend. But I just want
Speaker 1: to let you know you're the inspiration of you know, podcasting.
Speaker 1: You know, when you're not feeling the best. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you got a podcast Hurt. You got to play hurt,
Speaker 1: something to play hurt. Absolutely, you know that's that's absolutely true.
Speaker 1: As you get older, you'll learn to do that with
Speaker 1: less and less frequency. We're backlogging a bunch of episodes,
Speaker 1: so now people are just gonna think Julian has hungover
Speaker 1: every episode drinking problem. Yea cool and thanks again PFT
Speaker 1: for joining us. This is this was fun, This was great.
Speaker 1: Thank you guys for having me. Well back to the
Speaker 1: Gaming Corner presented by win Bet. PFT just left. I
Speaker 1: completely forgot. I think we both said it once. I
Speaker 1: might have done it twice or was it just once?
Speaker 1: I counted one a piece so we clocked in it too. Total.
Speaker 1: Oh I stink. I'm sorry, I spaced. I was a
Speaker 1: little intimidated. Yeah, you know, he's a pro. He's one
Speaker 1: of the best at what he does. He's one of
Speaker 1: the best of what he does in this world. So
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about trying to get the best
Speaker 1: possible content out of them, and clearly forgot everything about
Speaker 1: the bet. And we you know, this is not our
Speaker 1: area of expertise, hockey, so we kind of let him
Speaker 1: roll with it a little bit. We wanted him to
Speaker 1: take over. You know, we're hockey by association, guys. I
Speaker 1: love hockey. I respect hockey. Playoff. Hockey is to me
Speaker 1: as good as the guts in sports. Yeah, like when
Speaker 1: it's in the clocks winding down. Holy shit, man. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't get introduced to hockey until I moved to Boston. Really,
Speaker 1: the only hockey memory I have as a kid was
Speaker 1: getting lost going to the cow Policy to see the
Speaker 1: ninety four Sharks. Well they were an expansion team, cool colors. Yeah, unbelievable,
Speaker 1: but you know we got there in the third quarter
Speaker 1: or the third period, the third quarter. Such a football guy,
Speaker 1: so you know we're not we're not hockey guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but uh, I get there in the fourth inning, and
Speaker 1: I no, I think you know, I was a Rangers
Speaker 1: guy growing up. I was spoiled with, you know, a
Speaker 1: team that had Marko Messier, Mike Richter, Brian Leech, Alexey
Speaker 1: cove Love I believe was a rookie on that team.
Speaker 1: I mean they were stacked Adam Graves. So I was
Speaker 1: so spoiled with this awesome team. And then the NHL
Speaker 1: fucked up and it became impossible to find on cable.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they were on the Oprah network
Speaker 1: or whatever the hell they were on owned the hell own,
Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, I couldn't find a game. So I kind
Speaker 1: of fell out of it for a while. And now
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of getting back in. The Rangers are
Speaker 1: good again. It's a great time to get back in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I just never I don't know the game.
Speaker 1: And then I mean I went out to Boston, learned it,
Speaker 1: enjoy it. Just like you said, playoff hockey's awesome, and
Speaker 1: you had a hot team when you were there. We
Speaker 1: had a hot team, you know, and experiencing hockey in
Speaker 1: person is really the key. Yeah, you got to go
Speaker 1: to a game to really feel it. Because I can't
Speaker 1: even see the puck on TV. It's tough. Remember them,
Speaker 1: they had a little follow a thing or follow the
Speaker 1: puck for a little while. I remember that for a second,
Speaker 1: but that didn't pan out. But we definitely did not
Speaker 1: hit the over. We did not, but it was a
Speaker 1: great app and you know, thanks again to win Bett,
Speaker 1: thank you to our sponsors, to our listeners. Follow us
Speaker 1: at games with names I'm Sammurel and I'm Julian Edelman
Speaker 1: and we'll see you guys next time down that old
