It is strong 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.520 and dependable, just like the people who drive them, the 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.800 lunch pail workers, those blue collar mother those blue collar 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:35.760 boys out there. I almost cuss I saw myself. That's 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.479 a nice pool. It's moderate, advanced with a ton of grit, 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.720 a partner in getting things done, and especially when it 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.639 comes to the heart and soul of a pickup truck. 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:45.440 The bed. 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:46.560 Let me tell you guys. 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.280 About this, the most functional bed of any competitor out 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.360 there in the world. Best in class, standard cargo volume. 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.640 The inner gate folds down to a large step for 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.360 easily getting in and out of the bed. Available industry 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.400 first power up down tailgate. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.160 Let me reread that for you guys. 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:08.079 Available industry first power up down tailgate. It's the first 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:08.919 one in the industry. 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:09.280 Boys. 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.480 It's also available the multiflex tailgate that we've been telling 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.920 you about with six different configurations. All this makes the 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.240 bed of the Silverado work harder and smarter for those 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.080 launch pale guys out there driving the Chevyes, and if 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.480 you're not one, you need to become one.

I started watching the other night. 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.560 I'm about to jump into episode three tonight. But again, 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.440 Chevy Silverado strong, advanced, dependable and a hard working Go 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.520 to your local dealership.

He just bought a Chevy for the boys, 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:03.360 and I think he got something for free. I think, uh, 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.720 that's that allegedly allegedly we heard he got another truck 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:07.800 for free, but that's just to. 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:08.560 Hear say stuff. 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.240 We don't want to quote him, but yeah, man, So 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:15.679 getting into the episode, Ryan Whitney.

The reason it went from number three to 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.480 number one is I was tough on it in the beginning, 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.160 the BlackBerry Fizz, the BlackBerry Lemon flit Fizz. I was 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.240 tough on it because I drank it kind of straight 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:42.560 out of the box when they first set it too 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.240 it so it was a little warm, a little cool, 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.720 Wasn't that good.

They were 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.480 getting hit and I remember like then all of a sudden, 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:03.960 I was up. 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.520 How many games did you miss after that one? I 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.200 missed one. 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:11.680 I got putting on this half a game. 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.880 A little different for you is that twenty nineteen, this 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:17.360 is the longest game in NFL history. 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:23.720 We played. It was brutal, just over Well, wouldn't the 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.600 longest game be a tie? No? 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.680 Because it was there's so many This is tough. But 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.120 you're gonna do the same thing to us with hockey 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:32.320 in a second, So it's all good. 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:37.480 I know, I don't know longest like on the clock 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.840 in real life, as long as the game can go. 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.040 There was a storm, there's a storm, so like there 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.520 was kept being like lightning warnings or thunder and lightning warnings. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.080 I guess it's just thundered is not a dangerous thing, 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.600 but the lightning is the dangerous thing. So if it's 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.880 within a certain mileage of where we're playing, we all 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.600 have to go inside, and like a vacuum, they have 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:56.360 to evacuate. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.120 I assume I don't really play. I don't really clap 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.800 on a golf really, if there's lightning in the air. 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.320 You're back to the hat.

Eighty six games, 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:26.640 eighty two two games? 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:30.680 But it's it's just different you go play, especially your job, 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.480 it's just boom boom contacts. Like you can go a 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.120 whole game in hockey without getting hit, especially now with 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.280 how the game has changed, it's made way less physical. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.600 I feel like football maybe is changing maybe a little 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:42.440 less physical now. 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.040 It's definitely changing, like the nineties, two thousand exactly. 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.680 Yeah, but hockey now, I mean you get a penalty 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.960 for hits now in hockey that would have been nothing, 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.400 which I guess in football now you see some calls 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:53.840 you're like, wait a minute, that's rough, and. 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:55.720 Do they get ejected from the game. 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.840 Yeah, that's some clean hits too, you get ejected when 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.040 I'm watching football, and same with hockey. 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.560 But do you think hockey's getting softer? 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.720 I do. I think it's gotten way softer. 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.879 Now do you think it's way softer or a little softer? 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.240 And you're like that generation, well, every ten years there's 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.560 that guy that says, I know, these fucking guys don't 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.800 care that they're they're soft now, this, that, and the other. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:19.200 And the problem for me saying that is I wasn't, 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:20.840 you know, a tough player like that. 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.320 Wasn't my game. I was kind of more skilled, and. 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.640 So for me to be like the guy, yeah, exactly, 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.959 it's a little flex I could pass the puck, but 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.399 I don't. I don't bus has zero skills. This is 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.920 the guy who could say it's a pussy game now 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:37.960 because he was out there fighting, He was out there 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:39.480 going through that. Whereas if I were to be the 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.919 guy like this game is so soft, people be like, dude, 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.920 you weren't even hard when you played. You know, you're 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.480 one in four. But in still in the fact like that, 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.040 I witnessed hits that would now be like guys get 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.040 suspended and then it wasn't even a penalty. 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.800 I can say the game has gotten softer, and in 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:57.920 a way, it's like it's been good for the game 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.200 because all this skill is shown now and you see 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:01.439 all these players that are. 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:02.919 Maybe wouldn't have been in the league before that are 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.400 so skillful. You could see these amazing plays and highlights. 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:07.879 But you do miss the old like everyone stands up 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.520 in the arena for goals and fights, and. 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:11.760 There are that many fights anymore. 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:13.560 Yeah, the fights are like my favorite thing as a 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:14.520 fight's very incredible. 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.560 I'm watching if you go to a if you go 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.000 to a hockey game, and I've long said I've been 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.640 to three NFL games in person, two Steelers games when 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:23.720 I was on the Penguins, and a Patriots game.

I also I am happy guys aren't dealing 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:52.480 with certain concussion issues. 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:56.600 But fight fights are legit electric in hockey. 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:58.880 Yeah, you talking about fights before.

Here's a big opposite 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:35.720 in hockey. For instead of hockey and NFL. If you 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.200 have a visor in the NFL, that's like a saucy thing, 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:39.960 that's a really dope like swaggy thing, you have. 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:40.560 To be a receiver. 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:45.600 I feel like, no, no, Taylor, you were a tint advisor. 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:47.480 Oh dude, Hey, I didn't. 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.600 I was just gonna say, no, my guy, dude, we'll 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:53.200 try and wear like a little running back time I 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:54.440 put a uniform on, I have so. 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:56.439 Much you get something in the eye or do you 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:57.359 just do it for the looks? 0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:57.920 Looks? 0:20:58.920 --> 0:20:59.439 I love it. 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:01.639 I love it it up the darky? Where's that thing at? 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:06.080 Wow? So I've actually are you the only offensive lineman 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:10.800 in the league. Williams, Trey Williams, Jason Peters, only the Stars, 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:11.640 Only the Stars. 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:15.399 There's there's a there's a handful of guys, but anyway, 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:19.760 the hockey thing, there's a bunch of guys that well, 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:21.240 now you have to wear visors all the time. 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.200 That's a good drip right there. That one. Yeah, that's 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:25.680 le jets. 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:27.440 And so that's not even my darkest VI is he either, 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:27.800 my guy? 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:29.440 That's because it was a day game. 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.320 No, No, I'm all dark all the time. You got 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.280 to go through like a big process to even get it. 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:36.639 It's a really hard process to get it. 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.440 Yeah, like I would try for sinners, but sometimes you'll 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:41.520 get fined if they they'll get you off to switch 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:42.639 am on at halftime or something. 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:47.120 You're yeah, why would that affect Why would they care 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:48.520 if it's if the vice can. 0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:52.560 Cuss and they got to see your eyes a medical thing. Really, 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:53.879 they come up on you and they can't see your 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:55.240 eyes or nothing like that. They're trying to get like 0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:56.840 your mouth piece out or some ship. 0:21:56.760 --> 0:22:00.760 Iron to wear. So it's all good. I never did either, 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:02.920 really never did either. Yeah, that was you were about 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:05.360 to say, no, I was actually gonna say that. I 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.200 think in the NHL. I'm not one hundred percent sure, 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.080 but I'm pretty sure that you can't have there's a 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.399 darkness thing for the tint as well, because Ovechkin in 0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:16.119 the Olympics one year he had the straight up like 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.439 Oakley sunglasses where you see reflection in the visor. But 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:20.960 then it wasn't allowed in the NHL. 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:23.880 Well that that video you just showed he had a 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:25.280 like a smoked advisor. 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:30.280 Yeah, like, I don't, but that one's that's see, that's 0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:33.240 international play. That's just Russia UNI. That's the one that 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:34.879 is not allowed in the NHL. And that's a that's 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:38.160 an international tournament. So he's the CCM covered in red 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:39.959 tape at the front of the helmet, so that's not 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:41.120 allowed in NHL play. 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:42.199 Which ironically, like, I. 0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.000 Don't know why, Yeah, that's weird, but I guess it 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:47.000 makes sense in terms of like medical why they want 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:49.440 to see their eyes for concussions, So Taylor's not crying 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:50.200 during the game. 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:56.199 Yeah, or after or any yeah between commercial I'm the 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:56.600 same way. 0:22:57.040 --> 0:22:58.560 So why did they change the rule in the NHL 0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:01.000 to where you have to go from bucket now you 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:01.840 have to wear advisor. 0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:04.239 I don't know. 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.359 That was just kind of like as everything gets a 0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:10.919 little softer, it was I don't necessarily like disagree with it. 0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:13.520 I love not wearing advisor. I came into the league. 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:15.800 So when I came into the league, if you had 0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:18.879 a visor on, you were a coward. So that was 0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.040 just that's what it was. And so you look at 0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:23.160 like Martin Saint Louis now the coach of the Canadians, 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:26.080 but Hall of Fame player, unbelievable. He's like five seven, 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.119 maybe even five six. He came into the NHL and 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:31.800 like Calgary Flames let him go and he had nothing 0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:32.439 on his face. 0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:35.040 And because I think he knew, like I can't do it. 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:39.080 And so over time, like Brian Barrard was a player 0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:44.000 first overall pick, he lost his eye. There's been some issues. 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:45.800 Where it's kind of like, all right, well, if you 0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:47.560 could still play at a high level with a visor 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:49.800 on to protect your eyes, let's maybe. 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:50.240 Make it a rule. 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:52.639 But there's a few guys left to a grandfather and 0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:54.960 Ryan Getz lafts one in Anaheim. I can't think of 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:56.919 the others. But now if you come into the NHL, 0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:58.800 you gotta wear advisor. And when I went to the 0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:00.879 HL on the way down, as I got, you know, 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:03.280 my career ended, I had to put one on and 0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:04.480 I was like, holy shit. 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:05.320 This is bizarre. Same thing. 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:07.119 I went to play in Europe and Russia had to 0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:10.080 wear one. I got used to it, but I did 0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:11.960 love the fact that I didn't have one for a 0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:14.960 long time. Yeah, because you just feel like I actually 0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:17.560 remember being younger and going to NHL games, and you know, 0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:19.320 you grow up with the cage and you're like, I 0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:20.560 can't wait to have nothing on. 0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:22.199 I want to make the NHL and just throw the 0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:24.000 helmet on. There's no cage. You get a button. 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:27.919 I remember going out for games just be like like 0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:30.879 old school, like I'm playing it feel like the man exactly. 0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:34.639 So that's that's changed, amongst many other things. But I 0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:36.760 think in the end it's probably for the better because 0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:39.560 guys still fight with him on Now. 0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:41.879 Though when I came into the league, you could you 0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:44.120 you'd square off with the guy. I never squared off. 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:46.239 That was another thing of my five fights, they were 0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:49.040 all out of like something that happened in the game. 0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:51.000 You know, the real tough guys like Bizz, he. 0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:53.680 Would square off. That's like the panic of like, I'm 0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:55.399 in a fight. But you used to just be able 0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:57.040 to take your helmet off. Say one guy a devisor 0:24:57.119 --> 0:24:58.879 on you didn't. Let's both take them off so I 0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:01.560 don't hit your visor. Now you can't take your helmet 0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:02.440 off before a fight. 0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:05.360 No, they've changed it so like you can't square off, 0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:07.159 take the helmet off, and then go. You take the 0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:09.440 helmet off, the refs come fine and stupid rule. 0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:11.719 Yeah, it's a ridiculous. Well, it's like the taunting role 0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:13.920 in the NFL we talked about before were on this podcast. 0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.840 In the NFL are a wild nightmare. 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:18.439 You say, as much as you want, we'll get. 0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:20.639 Fined, but you want to throw the end of a 0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:22.719 game now is just fucking crazy crazy. 0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:24.960 It's like you're watching good games and then you see 0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:28.080 these calls by these fools, and it's like and gambling 0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:30.399 on the games. I'm like, oh my god, what the 0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:32.080 fuck is going on these idiots? 0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:35.040 Now, let me ask you to why can't they be 0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:36.240 full time employees. 0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:37.280 I don't know. 0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:39.600 I think that's that is so dumb. That's where it's headed. 0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:41.679 I think the refs, Yeah, they're not. They have like 0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:44.639 they're like lawyers and the lawyers and teachers and ship. Yeah, 0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:47.440 like just make them refs like that's your job. It's 0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:50.520 other job. And there's got to be some sort of 0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:52.960 fitness that they have to They have to like meet 0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:55.720 some sort of fitness requirement. They're gonna be able to 0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.560 run a mile in seven minutes, eight minutes, whatever it is. 0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:00.200 Would you say, ty to tell them about your I'm 0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:02.680 buying you got a ref combine. Wanted the rest to 0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:04.520 go through like a combine, Like, oh, yeah, they need 0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:05.520 to go through the whole fitnesses. 0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:08.760 Because there was a game in the playoffs Dallas. It 0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:11.560 was Dallas versus San Francisco, and Dallas ran a quarterback 0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:14.119 draw and now the play itself probably an if he 0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:17.120 called to do with that, like only a games left yet, Yeah, 0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:19.719 but they ran they put the ball down and then 0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:21.280 they went to go snap it. But the ref has 0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:23.280 to touch the ball after it's a first down, so 0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:25.200 he has to go touch the ball. He grabs the ball, 0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:27.680 backs it up, but all that time he spent running 0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:31.480 from behind the play to there was like an ungodly 0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:33.400 amount of time that they might have got one. 0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:36.120 More playoff or clocked it and. 0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:38.359 Then had another play a situation where they go averts 0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:39.560 or I don't know shit about it. 0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:44.639 The ref being a slab basically cost them that guy's games, 0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:50.400 but games.

I 0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:47.080 know you get like signing bonuses and things like that, 0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:47.959 but like. 0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:50.520 You said, you get hurt, you get cut. Will the 0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:53.040 union like ever change that or is that just kind 0:35:53.040 --> 0:35:54.560 of how football is gonna because there's so. 0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:56.840 Many guys on each roster, you'd like to think so 0:35:57.920 --> 0:36:00.879 that eventually it would be like guaranteed money. Cousins, your boy, 0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:02.919 he was one of the I think the only guy 0:36:02.920 --> 0:36:04.040 to get guaranteed money. 0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:06.400 Every dollar he signed for he's getting no matter what. 0:36:06.560 --> 0:36:09.240 I think it was, it was that in the negotiation. 0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:12.200 Yeah, so you signed a deal for eighty right, Uh yeah, 0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:15.000 what's guaranteed? Fifty? If it was guaranteed, so it's the 0:36:15.680 --> 0:36:16.560 and that doesn't matter. 0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:19.440 Injured, not too many clucks, not too many clucks, It 0:36:19.480 --> 0:36:20.000 doesn't matter. 0:36:20.040 --> 0:36:22.600 Injured. Cut Now it's cool. And so when agents are 0:36:22.600 --> 0:36:24.960 doing the deals, it's it doesn't even matter the big number. 0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:27.520 It's all about Yeah, your your first number, is like 0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:29.400 what's the guarantee? What's the first and then and then 0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:32.239 it's what's the first three year money? Or like if 0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:34.360 you sent a four year contract, what's the first two 0:36:34.440 --> 0:36:35.320 year money? Like what's that? 0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:36.160 Let's get it. 0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:38.440 No, yeah, but you want that as frontloaded as possible. 0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:41.680 I got super lucky because my my agency's great. CAA 0:36:41.840 --> 0:36:44.520 is awesome. But the first three years were so frontloaded 0:36:44.920 --> 0:36:47.319 that like what I'm getting paid now after the year 0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:49.239 I had where I could be staring at like a 0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:52.560 cut or a trade. My numbers are so low that like, 0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:55.480 even if they did try to replace me, they'd have 0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:58.000 to go spend four five six million more dollars to 0:36:58.040 --> 0:36:59.840 go get me adequate to replace me. 0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:01.560 Know, so your Asian did a great job. 0:37:01.600 --> 0:37:03.839 That in an outstanding job. Nice, I gotta do better 0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:04.560 job staying healthy. 0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:07.040 But with the players saying though you, I mean, you 0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:08.839 wish that would happen, but our union is so big, 0:37:08.880 --> 0:37:09.640 there's so many players. 0:37:09.719 --> 0:37:15.560 He is also trash too, but clearly but bro say that, well, 0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:16.799 I think a lot of them stayed in the locker 0:37:16.920 --> 0:37:20.040 might have a podcast. I'll say they're fucking dumpster fire. 0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:21.840 Taylor doesn't go to any of the meetings though, so 0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:26.960 it's kind of because you know what you need, change 0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:29.759 the same thing. Here's what here's what you need out 0:37:29.800 --> 0:37:31.960 of Tailor. You need Taylor to be. 0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:33.799 Like an eighty five million dollar man, and you need 0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:36.920 these high paying guys to be fully guaranteed at a 0:37:36.960 --> 0:37:38.640 lower top ceiling number. 0:37:38.760 --> 0:37:40.040 Because you need guys to reset. 0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:43.120 Like Kirk Cousins, he was like somebody who's trying to 0:37:43.160 --> 0:37:45.200 like set an example. He wasn't like out there pioneering 0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:47.440 for it, but being on Washington with them, he's like, bro, 0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:50.400 I'm trying to He would go three year fully guaranteed deals. 0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:52.120 Now you have to get to the market to do that, 0:37:52.160 --> 0:37:54.960 which is a gamble because of injury and risk. But 0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:57.560 he gets to the market and then he gets to 0:37:57.560 --> 0:38:00.520 command what he wants because somebody off to more like 0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:02.400 in the nineties, but it wasn't fully guaranteed. So he 0:38:02.480 --> 0:38:04.799 ended up signing with the Vikings that eighty nine fully 0:38:04.840 --> 0:38:07.960 guaranteed for three years, and then when they renegotiate with him, 0:38:08.120 --> 0:38:10.279 he fully guarantees every year. You would need the guys 0:38:10.280 --> 0:38:13.480 who signed like the big, longer term deals with like 0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:15.879 a high ceiling, say one hundred million dollars and then 0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:18.600 sixty of it's guaranteed that window. You need guys to 0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:21.960 take less than that hundred healing and try to maximize 0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:24.319 that guarantee to kind of like reset, to help like 0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:25.080 set the example. 0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:26.680 But who with quarterbacks do that? 0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:28.320 Quarterbacks have to be the ones to do it and 0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:32.000 everything quarterbacks get paid more. Well, then the guys who 0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:33.799 catch the ball from the quarterbacks need to get paid more, 0:38:33.960 --> 0:38:35.719 and the guys who protect the quarterback have to get 0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:37.600 paid more, and then the guys who are rushing the 0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:38.880 quarterback have to get paid more. And it's kind of 0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:42.520 like this downhill effect of when quarterbacks set the market 0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:44.640 for everybody and then you have your own categories of 0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:47.560 different But I feel like, not knowing anything. 0:38:48.120 --> 0:38:50.480 The guys who protect the quarterback may be more important 0:38:50.480 --> 0:38:52.400 than who he's throwing it to, because like if you 0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:53.799 ain't protecting the me ain't getting it. 0:38:53.719 --> 0:38:56.399 To that guy anyways, it's being modest. Left tackles get 0:38:56.760 --> 0:39:00.600 they get out right. Quarterbacks do get the absolutely most 0:39:00.719 --> 0:39:01.280 left tackle. 0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:02.480 Like this likely thing you. 0:39:02.480 --> 0:39:04.719 See how you see how much like there's going down here. 0:39:04.760 --> 0:39:06.280 I could be the next victim of what's been happening 0:39:06.320 --> 0:39:08.319 to you. For the last thirty minutes any second. So 0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:10.200 I wanted I want to say the receivers first before 0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:10.600 I said me. 0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:12.200 You know what I'm saying. 0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:14.160 Even know, if you feel me, I'm like in my 0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:16.920 head and I'm over here hiding at each other. 0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:20.040 You know I'm playing. Then I'm like trying to catch 0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:22.000 up my head. Am I. Now we're both just trying 0:39:22.040 --> 0:39:23.120 to impress you. That's what it is, you know what 0:39:23.120 --> 0:39:23.520 I'm saying. 0:39:25.120 --> 0:39:27.120 Yeah, I think that I think all that ship is 0:39:27.840 --> 0:39:31.239 probably won't happen because there's so many more guys in 0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:34.120 the NFL, and they are in hockey or baseball, and 0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:36.440 I think a lot of guys just care about what 0:39:36.480 --> 0:39:37.520 that big number looks like. 0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:37.960 Yep. 0:39:38.120 --> 0:39:40.040 They want to be the highest paid guy, and it's like. 0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:42.160 That's number one seasons Sports Center or whatever. 0:39:42.360 --> 0:39:44.680 You could give somebody an apy like sixteen, but pay 0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:47.120 him like, you know, nine in the first year, ten 0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:48.800 in the second year, and then twenty three in the 0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:51.080 next year or whatever would even and out to sixteen. 0:39:51.680 --> 0:39:53.759 But that twenty three is not guaranteed, So they make 0:39:53.880 --> 0:39:55.880 nine and ten and get cut, you know. 0:39:55.880 --> 0:39:58.040 What I'm saying, And that twenty three you planned on 0:39:58.160 --> 0:39:58.920 you're not seeing it. 0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:01.120 It's yeah, exactly, I've seen it. But you get to 0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:04.520 be fucking cool and act like you're the highest paid 0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:06.319 dude when really it's like, are you going to see that? 0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:06.640 Though? 0:40:06.880 --> 0:40:09.400 You know what I'm saying right, it's a crazy, crazy world, 0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:12.520 crazy world watching NFL salaries and how it all works. 0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:14.440 And you know, the wild thing about it all is 0:40:15.360 --> 0:40:19.320 the salary doesn't even matter because if someone's over the cap, 0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:20.680 all you have to do is go to their big 0:40:20.760 --> 0:40:23.839 name guys and say, hey, Aaron Rodgers, like, what we're 0:40:23.840 --> 0:40:26.400 gonna do is convert your entire year's salary into a 0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:28.799 signing bonus and pay you minimum, and then you just 0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:30.840 freed up and they don't care if he max. No, 0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:33.560 that's huge for you because you get the money right now. Yeah, 0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:35.359 all your money right now, and they make minimum six 0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:38.200 months later, as opposed to sitting here and then six 0:40:38.200 --> 0:40:40.440 months from now making his forty million dollars he could 0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:43.759 make thirty nine right now, and then they save thirty 0:40:43.840 --> 0:40:45.720 nine or thirty five. I don't know what the numbers 0:40:45.719 --> 0:40:48.120 in the cap are, so the cap really is not 0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:49.879 a real thing. It just depends on much cash flow. 0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:51.080 Teams having what they're willing to do. 0:40:51.360 --> 0:40:52.200 I've always. 0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:55.680 Kind of looked at like since the NHL got a 0:40:55.719 --> 0:40:58.239 salary cap with the NFL, it's like those guys who 0:40:58.239 --> 0:41:00.759 are hired as the capologist, Like what a job they 0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:02.480 have they especially with the NHL. 0:41:02.560 --> 0:41:05.239 Now, ologists is a nice term. What a term. You're 0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:08.040 such a nerd with that term, but you're so valuable. Yeah, 0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:11.000 it's like a valuable nerdlogist. I'm a capologist of the 0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:14.040 Tennessee Titans. Yeah, and I decide what Taylor L. Wong's 0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:14.960 gonna make next year. 0:41:15.040 --> 0:41:17.520 And I think like those guys though, because there's GMS 0:41:17.520 --> 0:41:20.000 in hockey, they played hockey for thirty years. Some of 0:41:20.000 --> 0:41:21.799 them they don't know shit. They need that guy to 0:41:21.840 --> 0:41:24.719 tell them. I can't give this guy that. It is 0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:25.760 confusing for players. 0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:28.000 Why do you think the money's so low in hockey? 0:41:28.239 --> 0:41:31.800 And I'm relatively speaking to football because like Crosby signed 0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:34.399 one hundred and plus million dollar contract right about six 0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:38.200 seven years ago, somebody signed someone in OVI. 0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:40.200 Signed a huge deal that he did himself too. 0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:43.000 But it was like, but like they signed these big contracts, 0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:45.640 but it's like ten years, eleven year contract, the. 0:41:45.560 --> 0:41:48.439 Biggest salary in hockey, I think, so you can only 0:41:48.480 --> 0:41:53.759 make embarrassing it's like eighteen percent of the team's salary cap, 0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:55.799 like one guy can make. There's like a max to 0:41:55.800 --> 0:42:00.320 how much you can make. But hockey, I mean it's growing, 0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:02.919 it's getting better. But what's odd to me is that 0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:05.879 in the early two thousands there was guys making ten 0:42:05.920 --> 0:42:09.319 million a year, and now the best players make ten 0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:13.080 million a year. So it's like, there really isn't that 0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:15.560 jump in terms of like you've seen in the other sports. 0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:15.759 Now. 0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:17.759 Granted, baseball's got one hundred and sixty two games with 0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:21.279 all these sixty thousand people at games, footballs. 0:42:20.719 --> 0:42:22.480 That own the day that we but hold on real 0:42:22.560 --> 0:42:25.640 quick with baseball, like I've never watched a baseball game 0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:26.799 that wasn't the playoffs. 0:42:26.800 --> 0:42:28.800 Fifth pitcher making thirteen million a year. 0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:30.719 But I've never watched a baseball game that wasn't the 0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:36.759 playoffs where it's packed. It's like, you know, every game 0:42:37.960 --> 0:42:39.080 it's best in the club. 0:42:41.440 --> 0:42:45.680 Fenway Regley, the. 0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:48.600 Right there, there's like a there isn't a salary cap. 0:42:48.640 --> 0:42:51.399 But if they go away, if they go over, there's 0:42:51.400 --> 0:42:54.799 some sort of there's a luxury tax or something like that. 0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:56.160 But great job. 0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:57.919 Shout out blost dude, that was fall. 0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:03.400 So I will say this, I I will say this. No, 0:43:03.480 --> 0:43:08.719 it's pink Whitney. I'm actually like immune to it. It's 0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:13.280 me my blood, selling my blood. This is the battery. 0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:16.359 You know what I'm saying, They're selling my skin tone. 0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:20.280 After a week in Fort Lauderdale. What are we talking about? 0:43:20.400 --> 0:43:24.440 Oh, baseball, No, baseball luxury, luxury numbers and basketball there's 0:43:24.480 --> 0:43:26.959 only what ten guys a team and it's so big, 0:43:27.040 --> 0:43:28.320 like they get Chinese money. 0:43:28.320 --> 0:43:30.600 But hockey it's. 0:43:30.480 --> 0:43:33.120 Getting better, but it is not the most popular sport 0:43:33.160 --> 0:43:33.560 in the world. 0:43:33.600 --> 0:43:34.640 I mean, it's just how it is. 0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:36.760 Yeah, but it is worldwide as opposed to like NFL, 0:43:36.800 --> 0:43:39.520 who's like getting into Europe and getting into multiple countries 0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:42.120 other countries. But it's not like you go anywhere in 0:43:42.120 --> 0:43:44.239 the world and you can play hockey except for maybe 0:43:44.280 --> 0:43:48.719 like South America or Africa or Africa. So two continents, 0:43:48.719 --> 0:43:50.279 assuming you know what I'm saying, there's a whole bunch 0:43:50.280 --> 0:43:52.920 of other ship and outcrabit. That's it's going wild up there. 0:43:53.239 --> 0:43:54.360 With the with the penguins. 0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:59.680 Yeah whatever, anyway, you know what. 0:43:59.640 --> 0:44:01.880 I'm saying, what is this? 0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:03.000 This is the average. 0:44:06.880 --> 0:44:14.480 And what are we like six or seven? We we're 0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:17.479 ahead of Italy's We're ahead of Italy's soccer league. 0:44:17.520 --> 0:44:20.040 That's not bad. I mean we're head of Germany soccer league. 0:44:20.040 --> 0:44:23.480 It's hockey. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard to describe. I 0:44:23.480 --> 0:44:26.480 mean it's not It's not the most popular sport in 0:44:26.520 --> 0:44:28.920 the world. I think part of it is hockey is 0:44:29.080 --> 0:44:32.040 very expensive game to play, very expensive when you're younger. 0:44:32.080 --> 0:44:33.759 You need to quitment, you need ice time. The ice 0:44:33.800 --> 0:44:36.880 time now in Boston, you know, granted changes across the country. 0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:39.040 You mentioned your dad's from a Dina place like that. 0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:42.680 They have like ten outdoor rinks. It's awesome. Boston. Now 0:44:42.719 --> 0:44:45.080 it's like four and dollars for an hour ivice and 0:44:45.080 --> 0:44:46.440 then you got to buy all this gear and then 0:44:46.440 --> 0:44:47.839 you got to pay a couple of grand to play 0:44:47.840 --> 0:44:49.880 on the team. Not everyone can do it, you know, 0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:52.040 and you get these amazing athletes in the NFL and 0:44:52.040 --> 0:44:52.480 the NBA. 0:44:52.560 --> 0:44:54.080 You grab a ball, you go out and play. 0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:57.000 And so I think, like how difficult it is to 0:44:57.000 --> 0:45:00.359 get into the sport kind of translates to layter on 0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:00.960 in terms of. 0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:03.560 Like how big the sport is now. I do think 0:45:03.600 --> 0:45:06.080 that Anshaw getting with the ESPN. They're back with the 0:45:06.200 --> 0:45:07.160 ESPN this year is good. 0:45:07.560 --> 0:45:10.560 They paid a lot more money than prior, like NBC 0:45:10.640 --> 0:45:13.279 Sports Adam and things like that, so that could be good, but. 0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:15.480 There's a way to go. 0:45:15.800 --> 0:45:17.200 Do you think it's some of some of these rule 0:45:17.239 --> 0:45:18.640 changes that I am making a little more soft? 0:45:19.360 --> 0:45:21.239 I think I think it does. I think it does 0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:24.200 hurt a little bit. Yeah, I think it. I think 0:45:24.239 --> 0:45:25.120 people love fights. 0:45:25.160 --> 0:45:27.560 We said it earlier and if you go to games, 0:45:27.560 --> 0:45:30.400 people love fights. But like you guys have learned with 0:45:30.480 --> 0:45:34.160 doing this job as the podcast and being athletes, like 0:45:34.239 --> 0:45:37.439 Twitter speaks for a lot of people, even though it's 0:45:37.480 --> 0:45:39.880 not like the actual world you're living in, you know 0:45:39.920 --> 0:45:43.560 what I mean, Like Twitter's and so it's a vocal 0:45:43.640 --> 0:45:47.400 minority that drives me insane and like, unfortunately for my life, 0:45:47.520 --> 0:45:49.000 I have to be on it like it's part of 0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:52.240 my job, but it drives me crazy because in hockey sense, 0:45:52.680 --> 0:45:55.200 Twitter's the worst thing that ever happened on hockey. Twitter 0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:58.080 has all these reporters and all these fans who like, 0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:00.759 every time there's a concussion they're going not and every 0:46:00.760 --> 0:46:02.799 time there's a fight. That's so unhealthy the guy's gonna 0:46:02.800 --> 0:46:04.880 have a concussion and he's gonna deal with CTE and 0:46:04.920 --> 0:46:08.400 it's like, all right, well, everyone watching the game was 0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:09.759 on their feet going nuts for it. 0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:13.160 Everyone's talking about it. The guy who's who fought were 0:46:13.160 --> 0:46:15.480 willing to do it. But we got you on Twitter 0:46:15.520 --> 0:46:17.080 saying how bad this is for the game and for 0:46:17.120 --> 0:46:20.520 some in in some instances, the league really responds to 0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:23.160 like different tweets and different action on Twitter where it's 0:46:23.200 --> 0:46:25.200 like it's kind of bad for the game. 0:46:25.200 --> 0:46:26.920 In a sense, it seems kind of weird to me 0:46:27.040 --> 0:46:29.960 that like hockey and from the media standpoint that like 0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:32.080 hockey players, I know a couple of players and the 0:46:32.120 --> 0:46:35.120 Predators are have great personalities, great dudes, but you watch 0:46:35.160 --> 0:46:37.520 some of their interviews and they look like fucking they 0:46:37.560 --> 0:46:39.399 have a stick up their ass. Another thing, and that's 0:46:39.400 --> 0:46:41.040 another that's the thing that like they kind of tell 0:46:41.080 --> 0:46:42.640 you to do right. You've got to be vanilla, you 0:46:42.680 --> 0:46:44.560 gotta be because in a weird way, this is a 0:46:44.600 --> 0:46:45.360 gentleman's sport. 0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:48.799 It's a big time it's like, not taking away from 0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:50.359 any other sport, but hockey it's like. 0:46:52.040 --> 0:46:53.919 It's a team thing. It's all about a team. There's 0:46:53.920 --> 0:46:56.520 no iron team, all the cliches. Where there's a me, 0:46:57.239 --> 0:46:59.759 there's a me. And that's kind of what I've learned 0:46:59.840 --> 0:47:01.400 later on. I'm like, oh shit, I should have been 0:47:01.400 --> 0:47:03.400 talking way more. I could have vogg go when I 0:47:03.440 --> 0:47:03.760 was playing. 0:47:03.800 --> 0:47:05.759 You probably would have been traded ten more times. You 0:47:05.800 --> 0:47:06.279 know what I'm saying. 0:47:06.320 --> 0:47:09.120 You traded seventeen times. I would have been twenty seven total. 0:47:09.440 --> 0:47:12.680 But I think that players in hockey for a long 0:47:12.719 --> 0:47:15.600 time have been just keep your mouth shot, give the 0:47:15.640 --> 0:47:18.640 old cliche answers, and don't ruffle any feathers, don't give 0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:20.799 the other team bulletin board material. And then you see 0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:23.080 these other sports and you see NFL players and NBA 0:47:23.160 --> 0:47:25.280 guys who are willing to go out on a limb 0:47:25.280 --> 0:47:28.000 and get themselves to be the center of attention. It 0:47:28.120 --> 0:47:30.439 sounds bad, but it's not, and it grows the game. 0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:32.880 It's like personalities, and hockey's doing better on that. Like 0:47:32.880 --> 0:47:35.360 guys who are getting the instagrams, guys are wearing different outfits. 0:47:35.400 --> 0:47:37.680 They've some teams have started getting rid of the the 0:47:38.040 --> 0:47:39.399 dress code you need to go to the game. 0:47:39.560 --> 0:47:41.480 Stuff that like what the dress code usually likes. I 0:47:41.560 --> 0:47:45.000 hate I hate getting you off time yeah, and shoes too. 0:47:45.040 --> 0:47:46.239 You can kind of wear jays if you want to 0:47:46.239 --> 0:47:46.840 wear Joah. 0:47:47.840 --> 0:47:50.839 Yeah, now probably, but like before, like you were playing, No, 0:47:51.040 --> 0:47:54.600 not really. I mean in a way, it's like the 0:47:54.719 --> 0:47:58.400 more individuals that grow their brands, the better the whole 0:47:58.440 --> 0:48:01.560 sport does. And hockeys just lagging so far behind on that, 0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:04.239 lagging behind because guys don't want to be the guy 0:48:04.280 --> 0:48:06.280 on the team that the guys like, what the fuck, man. 0:48:06.400 --> 0:48:07.120 It's about the team. 0:48:07.160 --> 0:48:09.480 Why why are you bringing attention to yourself where I 0:48:09.520 --> 0:48:11.319 personally think other sports guys don't care. 0:48:11.719 --> 0:48:14.000 I mean, we don't care. 0:48:14.120 --> 0:48:16.400 Well why, yeah, it does? You ahead, will you take this? 0:48:16.480 --> 0:48:17.960 I was just gonna say it does a little bit 0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:20.440 like that is true in a sense, but also like 0:48:20.480 --> 0:48:22.600 you get, there's a lot of like team guys and 0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:25.120 not even that, but the coaches preach it, you know 0:48:25.120 --> 0:48:25.520 what I mean? 0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:27.440 Ye, Like, I know, you know, Rape's kind of big 0:48:27.440 --> 0:48:27.719 on that. 0:48:27.840 --> 0:48:30.759 Yeah, don't do stuff in the Pats, which is kind 0:48:30.760 --> 0:48:33.239 of like nobody say where are the Pats of the South? 0:48:33.280 --> 0:48:34.359 For sure, Yeah, you guys are. 0:48:34.480 --> 0:48:35.919 Yeah, a little bit like that for sure. 0:48:36.880 --> 0:48:38.560 Raye would always bust my balls like I would do, 0:48:38.560 --> 0:48:40.400 like tweets and stuff like that, like, oh, you make 0:48:40.440 --> 0:48:42.120 it about you, make it about you, And I was like, oh, 0:48:42.120 --> 0:48:44.399 all I did was say they was the best third 0:48:44.480 --> 0:48:48.400 string uh team, or that you've then Tennessee's ever signed. 0:48:48.480 --> 0:48:50.719 But making it about me as hell, you know what 0:48:50.760 --> 0:48:51.000 I mean. 0:48:51.040 --> 0:48:52.400 But He's just like, you know, don't do stuff that 0:48:52.440 --> 0:48:54.040 I hurt the team or don't make it about you, 0:48:54.080 --> 0:48:55.399 like it's team, team, team. 0:48:55.640 --> 0:48:57.360 He's right, because when I get in the season, I 0:48:57.400 --> 0:49:01.200 won't do the podcast and I all like Twitter, Yeah, 0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:03.719 it's it's it's more of an insecurity than anything else. 0:49:03.800 --> 0:49:05.719 Is you don't want to walk into the locker room 0:49:05.880 --> 0:49:07.799 after a loss or you don't have a bad game 0:49:08.080 --> 0:49:09.440 and the boys are looking at you like you just 0:49:09.440 --> 0:49:11.640 fucking care what this podcast which is. 0:49:11.840 --> 0:49:14.279 I know my argument would be like and it's the 0:49:14.280 --> 0:49:17.720 way you're saying it, and it's way easier being retired. 0:49:17.320 --> 0:49:20.160 And looking back. But it's like, all right, Rabes, I 0:49:20.160 --> 0:49:23.680 love how I'm calling Mike Vrabel Rabes. Yeah, everybody, I 0:49:23.960 --> 0:49:25.400 when I'm done. 0:49:25.080 --> 0:49:27.240 I got I gotta make money. 0:49:27.320 --> 0:49:29.960 And this is like leading me into the end of 0:49:29.960 --> 0:49:32.000 my career and like, yeah, right now, Like if you 0:49:32.000 --> 0:49:34.120 don't believe I'm all in for this team, that's one thing. 0:49:34.160 --> 0:49:36.880 But if I can do that and also set myself 0:49:36.960 --> 0:49:38.520 up for when I'm done, man, I need to find 0:49:38.520 --> 0:49:41.520 someone I'm finished. So it's like to build your own 0:49:41.560 --> 0:49:44.840 brand in hockey and probably some parts of football seems selfish, 0:49:44.840 --> 0:49:47.640 but it's in a way like everyone's career comes to 0:49:47.640 --> 0:49:50.480 an end. It's not easy for anyone, and then you 0:49:50.520 --> 0:49:52.520 need to for most guys make money, and even if 0:49:52.520 --> 0:49:54.640 you have enough money, you need to do something. So 0:49:54.680 --> 0:49:56.920 it's like that can kind of create stuff for you 0:49:56.960 --> 0:49:59.760 in the future where if you're just quiet and yourself 0:49:59.760 --> 0:50:01.640 at the end, you're like, shit, why didn't I do 0:50:01.640 --> 0:50:03.320 that stuff I wanted to do, because right now I 0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:04.120 might have something else. 0:50:04.280 --> 0:50:04.520 Right. 0:50:04.800 --> 0:50:06.600 The one thing I always lean on is like, when 0:50:06.600 --> 0:50:08.920 we do this stuff is the logo. We played for 0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:10.960 the logo, right, But when we're done playing for the 0:50:11.000 --> 0:50:13.520 logo or the logo, cut trade you. They're not gonna 0:50:13.520 --> 0:50:15.359 make sure you're set up for the next thing. So 0:50:15.400 --> 0:50:17.280 when you're trying to build it while you're a player 0:50:17.640 --> 0:50:19.920 shaking the hands, when you're better looking, your jokes are funnier. 0:50:20.000 --> 0:50:22.520 All this shit and building your platform, then you have 0:50:22.600 --> 0:50:24.680 something to transition into because that team's not going to 0:50:24.719 --> 0:50:26.239 take care of you when it's over and they're done 0:50:26.239 --> 0:50:26.520 with you. 0:50:27.160 --> 0:50:32.160 I remember, So I got traded from Pittsburgh to Anaheim. 0:50:32.480 --> 0:50:34.120 We went to the Cup finals in Pittsburgh. 0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:34.560 We lost. 0:50:34.640 --> 0:50:36.680 I got traded at the deadline the next year, and 0:50:36.680 --> 0:50:37.879 then they went on to win the Cup. 0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:40.839 So that was tough. But I was. I was. I 0:50:40.880 --> 0:50:41.560 was with my dad. 0:50:41.800 --> 0:50:43.000 That is fucking tough. 0:50:43.080 --> 0:50:46.040 Dude, dude, holy shit, Me and another guy that were 0:50:46.080 --> 0:50:48.480 on the team the year before. And then they went 0:50:48.520 --> 0:50:49.240 to game seven. 0:50:49.280 --> 0:50:50.920 We lost to Detroit in the Cup finals, and they 0:50:50.920 --> 0:50:53.480 played Detroit again. They beat Detroit in game seven. So 0:50:53.520 --> 0:50:56.080 we're watching Game seven. I was texting this kid in 0:50:56.080 --> 0:50:58.520 Pittsburgh won and I was actually really happy for my buddies. 0:50:58.560 --> 0:51:01.440 I really was, but it's was crushing and like we 0:51:01.480 --> 0:51:03.520 got so fucked up that night. It was like what 0:51:03.560 --> 0:51:05.279 else are you gonna do? But I don't even know 0:51:05.280 --> 0:51:06.560 how I just thought of that, But I ended up 0:51:06.560 --> 0:51:09.279 getting traded. Oh, because I got trade to Edmonton. I'm 0:51:09.280 --> 0:51:13.240 sorry Anaheim, and I was sitting with my dad one time. 0:51:13.440 --> 0:51:17.400 Anaheim was good, Edmonton tough city, but I was, I 0:51:17.440 --> 0:51:19.719 was really struggling. I had some injuries, and I was 0:51:19.800 --> 0:51:21.920 just I wasn't the same player I was when I 0:51:21.920 --> 0:51:24.600 signed my like one big contract, and I remember saying 0:51:24.600 --> 0:51:27.120 to my dad, I was like, I wish I could, 0:51:27.120 --> 0:51:29.080 like I almost like want to give some of this 0:51:29.200 --> 0:51:32.120 money back. I fucking I'm so bad. I don't deserve this. 0:51:32.239 --> 0:51:35.560 And he was like what I was like, like one 0:51:35.600 --> 0:51:37.640 of those like fathers. What where I'm like, He's like, 0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:39.040 shut the fuck up. 0:51:39.520 --> 0:51:42.239 Do you think these fucking people would give you more 0:51:42.280 --> 0:51:43.479 money if you were playing better? 0:51:43.719 --> 0:51:45.960 You think they give a fuck about you when you're done? 0:51:46.719 --> 0:51:49.920 And and it was like, oh my god, Like I 0:51:50.239 --> 0:51:50.840 had never. 0:51:50.680 --> 0:51:52.760 Thought of that.

So Russia was great. I was in Soci, 0:54:45.440 --> 0:54:47.880 which they called the San Diego of Russia, which always 0:54:47.920 --> 0:54:51.919 cracked me up what they say, because it doesn't really 0:54:51.960 --> 0:54:54.400 snow there. They had the Olympics there in twenty fourteen. 0:54:54.680 --> 0:54:58.080 I lived in uh the old like athletes Village, which 0:54:58.120 --> 0:54:59.759 was a ghost town. It was so bizarre. It's like 0:54:59.760 --> 0:55:01.680 one of you hear about like the Olympics. Now they 0:55:01.719 --> 0:55:03.600 go to cities and then when they leave there's just nothing. 0:55:03.680 --> 0:55:05.800 It was like this Olympic village that was just done 0:55:05.840 --> 0:55:07.759 ghost towns. They put us up there. See it is 0:55:07.800 --> 0:55:08.600 pretty nice looking. 0:55:09.080 --> 0:55:13.920 And uh, the San Diego of Russia. And so I 0:55:13.800 --> 0:55:15.800 was on a billboard there when I was there. 0:55:16.560 --> 0:55:20.200 Oh yeah, yeah, it's definitely on a billboard and backwards letter. 0:55:20.560 --> 0:55:23.480 I don't even know they're they're they're alphabets different, but 0:55:24.600 --> 0:55:25.800 I remember sweet a driver. 0:55:26.000 --> 0:55:27.640 So all the imports hang out. 0:55:27.680 --> 0:55:30.360 Every team in the KHL was allowed five imports, so 0:55:30.480 --> 0:55:34.840 just non Russians. There was a Canadian, a finn, a Swede, 0:55:35.880 --> 0:55:38.279 a US guy myself, and there was just say the 0:55:38.440 --> 0:55:40.960 sex made a check goalie and it sounds like the 0:55:41.040 --> 0:55:41.560 joke was. 0:55:41.520 --> 0:55:43.959 Going to tell it was a crazy. Yeah, that was 0:55:46.000 --> 0:55:46.560 a joke. 0:55:47.200 --> 0:55:54.480 So we fucking get will so heartbeat Gilling boys. 0:55:54.120 --> 0:55:57.240 Driver because you can't drive over there. And I joined 0:55:57.239 --> 0:55:58.960 they I actually did what you did. 0:55:58.960 --> 0:56:01.040 I kind of I He's like, I'm not going to 0:56:01.120 --> 0:56:03.759 the KSHL until after training camp. Training camp, you leave 0:56:03.840 --> 0:56:07.520 July first to the KHL. So Midsummer. All the guys 0:56:07.520 --> 0:56:12.040 in the NHL, I'm not. I'm not going until after camp. 0:56:12.280 --> 0:56:14.680 So I actually didn't sign till middle of October. And 0:56:15.520 --> 0:56:17.600 I get over there and there's a driver. There's a 0:56:17.680 --> 0:56:19.640 driver for all the imports. You can't drive over there. 0:56:20.080 --> 0:56:23.000 And why can't you drive over there because it's Russia, 0:56:23.160 --> 0:56:24.400 like they'll fucking take you. 0:56:24.520 --> 0:56:25.839 And it's just you. 0:56:25.800 --> 0:56:28.759 Know, there's no chance an import can drive over there. 0:56:28.840 --> 0:56:31.480 Every team has a driver for the imports. And so 0:56:31.520 --> 0:56:34.279 this guy's driving. This guy's driving us to the second day, 0:56:34.320 --> 0:56:36.040 and all of a sudden, the cops are behind this. 0:56:36.160 --> 0:56:38.520 I'm like, oh fucked, and the cops we get pulled over. 0:56:38.560 --> 0:56:40.520 The guy pulls over Vadim. I'll never forget. I have 0:56:40.520 --> 0:56:42.279 a picture. I'm in the hawked up with Vadim. He's 0:56:42.320 --> 0:56:44.480 my boy. Haven't spoken to him since I left. 0:56:45.120 --> 0:56:48.239 So the cap walks up to the window and he 0:56:48.320 --> 0:56:51.319 puts down the window like this far and Vadim just 0:56:51.360 --> 0:56:53.359 takes a bunch of cash, bunch of rubles and just 0:56:53.440 --> 0:56:57.160 hands it out the window and like marbles the cash 0:56:57.600 --> 0:57:00.160 and hands it to the cop and he says, by 0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:04.200 blah blah blah. It leaves get the fuck out of here, dude. 0:57:04.239 --> 0:57:06.120 And the best part about that story was when I 0:57:06.120 --> 0:57:10.759 had been on the Penguins eight years before that, if 0:57:10.760 --> 0:57:13.200 getting Malcolm Superstar Hall of Fame, one of the best 0:57:13.239 --> 0:57:14.160 players of all time. 0:57:14.520 --> 0:57:15.080 He came over. 0:57:15.120 --> 0:57:17.000 It was his rookie years living a surge gone Shar 0:57:18.080 --> 0:57:22.040 Gonshar was a great defenseman, unbelievable player, and he was 0:57:22.080 --> 0:57:24.480 a Russian as well. So Malcolm lived with him his 0:57:24.520 --> 0:57:27.480 rookie year and he didn't have a license and he 0:57:27.520 --> 0:57:31.040 got pulled over driving a car a Porsche, had no 0:57:31.120 --> 0:57:34.360 business driving, and he doesn't know he's from Russia. Magneta 0:57:34.360 --> 0:57:36.800 Gorsk and the coup pulled him over and he's put 0:57:36.880 --> 0:57:37.360 on the window. 0:57:37.920 --> 0:57:39.680 You hain't a bunch of money And the cops like, 0:57:39.760 --> 0:57:40.880 what of the. 0:57:40.720 --> 0:57:47.440 F Russia bro and the Pittsburgh pliast and went down there. 0:57:48.240 --> 0:57:50.320 They don't know. It's just a different life. But I'll 0:57:50.320 --> 0:57:51.800 say this as miserable as I was. 0:57:52.160 --> 0:57:54.680 My favorite memory of that of my time in Russia 0:57:54.760 --> 0:57:57.480 too is uh it was when I'm a Pats fan 0:57:57.560 --> 0:57:58.600 being from Boston area. 0:57:59.280 --> 0:58:00.640 Yeah, it's been a real tough run. 0:58:01.120 --> 0:58:03.720 I uh I I had sling, I had a sling 0:58:03.760 --> 0:58:04.760 box just departed. 0:58:06.000 --> 0:58:08.640 I mean, we got to go somewhere. I got here, 0:58:08.640 --> 0:58:11.320 we were going. We're winners, so yeah, we take it. 0:58:11.320 --> 0:58:17.160 I'm on the Pats of the South though, uh so, 0:58:17.160 --> 0:58:18.920 so I see my sling box. 0:58:19.080 --> 0:58:23.720 I recorded the Pats Seattle Super Bowl, and I and 0:58:23.720 --> 0:58:26.360 I because I knew so I didn't I shut off 0:58:26.360 --> 0:58:27.800 the game. It would have been like three in the morning. 0:58:27.840 --> 0:58:29.840 I went to practice. I had my phone off, and 0:58:29.920 --> 0:58:33.000 I knew nobody at the game would have like Russians 0:58:33.040 --> 0:58:35.240 don't know football, I don't know, so nobody said a word. 0:58:35.400 --> 0:58:38.200 I went home and I watched the game twelve hours later, 0:58:38.800 --> 0:58:41.160 had no clue and got to like see the Butler 0:58:41.200 --> 0:58:44.520 interception like it was live to me. But the reason 0:58:44.520 --> 0:58:46.480 I just thought of that because I hated being in Russia. 0:58:46.520 --> 0:58:49.560 It was miserable, you know, it was just tough.

But in terms 1:00:59.920 --> 1:01:02.280 of the cash they would get direct to pause it. 1:01:02.320 --> 1:01:05.040 I had like an Italian bank within Russia. It was 1:01:05.080 --> 1:01:08.840 kind of weird. I remember, actually I told my my wife. 1:01:08.920 --> 1:01:11.200 Now she wasn't at the time. I got home and 1:01:11.200 --> 1:01:15.160 had all this money in this Russian Italian bank account, 1:01:15.240 --> 1:01:16.840 and I know clue how to get at home.

I had no clue how to get home. 1:01:33.280 --> 1:01:36.360 I actually heard a great story before the CAGEL was formed. 1:01:36.360 --> 1:01:38.520 It was called the Russian Super League, when it was 1:01:38.600 --> 1:01:42.320 really no rules, completely off the wall. There was a 1:01:42.320 --> 1:01:45.960 goalie who had like four hundred grand they'd pay American 1:01:46.000 --> 1:01:48.120 cash over there too. Back then, he had four hundred 1:01:48.160 --> 1:01:51.440 thousand dollars American cash, and he had no clue how 1:01:51.440 --> 1:01:53.080 to get it home without dealing with the taxes. 1:01:53.120 --> 1:01:54.800 He's looking to just get this money home? What do 1:01:54.840 --> 1:01:55.120 I do? 1:01:55.560 --> 1:01:58.720 So he cut his pads, He cut into the pads 1:01:59.360 --> 1:02:01.760 and he put all the cash into each pad, two 1:02:01.840 --> 1:02:04.600 hundred grand in each pad, and he sewed it back up, 1:02:04.880 --> 1:02:07.000 and then he checked his equipment going so on the 1:02:07.000 --> 1:02:10.240 flight home, he has no idea, like he's like, when 1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:12.520 I get back there, like if this equipments there, like 1:02:12.560 --> 1:02:13.240 the money night Penn. 1:02:13.360 --> 1:02:16.120 And he got home, he got back, the equipment. 1:02:15.720 --> 1:02:18.400 Came, you know, across the whatever it called, and he 1:02:18.480 --> 1:02:20.080 looked and he's like, oh my god, it's back, and 1:02:20.120 --> 1:02:20.640 he got all. 1:02:20.520 --> 1:02:23.200 The money home that way. It's yeah, it's a panic. 1:02:23.840 --> 1:02:27.280 That was when it was like old school allego stuff. 1:02:27.440 --> 1:02:28.800 Dude, that's sucking hardcore. 1:02:28.960 --> 1:02:29.720 That's just crazy. 1:02:29.840 --> 1:02:32.080 Can you tell us about the Russian gas and the vitamins? 1:02:32.120 --> 1:02:34.840 The Russian gas is nuts. I played a game gas, 1:02:34.920 --> 1:02:38.200 so Russian gases.

He was like sixteen, and so my dad 1:11:29.360 --> 1:11:31.639 and him went up to ann arbor to be around 1:11:31.720 --> 1:11:34.000 better hockey and they could see you and they could 1:11:34.000 --> 1:11:36.160 see me. That wasn't by my choice, but that's what 1:11:36.200 --> 1:11:38.920 they wanted to do. And they lived like in the 1:11:39.000 --> 1:11:41.680 houses like right across the street from Pioneer. Yeah, so 1:11:41.840 --> 1:11:43.880 a cruiser over there, catch a free meal. And my 1:11:43.920 --> 1:11:45.720 brother was I was a solid hockey player, he was 1:11:45.760 --> 1:11:47.240 more of a grinder than he was like skilled. 1:11:47.640 --> 1:11:50.040 Yeah, but I remember going to Pigh High and like, 1:11:51.160 --> 1:11:54.080 you know, they so I came from a private school 1:11:54.280 --> 1:11:57.880 in massachusettt Fay Academy, shout out to Tigers, and there 1:11:57.960 --> 1:12:00.479 was like ninety five kids in my grade and I 1:12:00.520 --> 1:12:03.400 went to Pioneer High and there was like nine hundred. Yeah, 1:12:03.840 --> 1:12:04.400 I think it was. 1:12:04.360 --> 1:12:06.760 Thirty six hundred kids, Like you know, thirty eight hundred 1:12:06.800 --> 1:12:07.400 kids in the school. 1:12:07.400 --> 1:12:08.920 So it was eye opening for me. 1:12:08.960 --> 1:12:12.400 But I remember, like, naturally, you got kids from all 1:12:12.439 --> 1:12:14.920 over the country coming the best seventeen eighteen year old 1:12:14.920 --> 1:12:18.080 hockey players in the country, and the girls in high 1:12:18.120 --> 1:12:20.200 school are kind of like, all right, we're into these guys. 1:12:20.240 --> 1:12:22.000 So these dudes who grew up with these girls their 1:12:22.040 --> 1:12:24.000 whole life, they're like fuck you now. Granted, now, the 1:12:24.000 --> 1:12:26.559 girls like me, I was a complete nerd with big ears, 1:12:26.800 --> 1:12:28.439 but all these other kids were like trying to fight 1:12:28.479 --> 1:12:29.960 guys on my team because all of a sudden, the 1:12:29.960 --> 1:12:31.839 girls they knew their whole life, were going to them. 1:12:32.000 --> 1:12:34.559 It was a great show I got to witness. But 1:12:34.600 --> 1:12:36.960 Pioneer High it was like you had to go and 1:12:37.000 --> 1:12:38.800 then here On High School is also in an haarbur 1:12:38.840 --> 1:12:41.240 Guys had to go through like metal metal detectors to 1:12:41.240 --> 1:12:44.840 get into that school. I'm like, what am I exactly now? 1:12:44.960 --> 1:12:47.240 Since they're they ended up leaving here On guys could 1:12:47.280 --> 1:12:49.840 only go to Pioneer before they went to Plymouth. But 1:12:50.160 --> 1:12:51.719 that's my NDDP story. 1:12:51.800 --> 1:12:54.240 So as you get drafted right out of high school. 1:12:54.120 --> 1:12:56.000 No, I played one year. It changed. 1:12:56.080 --> 1:12:58.719 It used to be, uh, if you went to college, 1:12:58.960 --> 1:13:01.080 the draft would get delayed year. Yah, So I get 1:13:01.120 --> 1:13:03.040 drafted as my freshman year of college. Now it's the 1:13:03.040 --> 1:13:04.800 same for everyone. So you do get drafted after she 1:13:04.960 --> 1:13:08.280 would you go to college? Be you Boston University? Yeah, 1:13:08.520 --> 1:13:10.120 it's kind of where I dreamed of going when I 1:13:10.160 --> 1:13:10.720 was growing ups. 1:13:10.720 --> 1:13:12.120 Why don't you offer for Michigan? 1:13:12.600 --> 1:13:13.880 I could have gone anywhere I could have got. 1:13:13.880 --> 1:13:16.040 I wanted to go back home, Okay, guy, I know 1:13:16.520 --> 1:13:20.519 right Ill, Yeah, I know, stut, I could have gone 1:13:20.560 --> 1:13:23.360 anywhere five Star. I actually, looking back, I would have 1:13:23.439 --> 1:13:25.920 liked to go I love BU had great experiences, but 1:13:26.240 --> 1:13:27.800 I would have liked to go to a school that 1:13:28.600 --> 1:13:31.280 b U's campus is just downtown Boston. There's no football 1:13:31.320 --> 1:13:33.559 team like I would have probably if I could do 1:13:33.600 --> 1:13:38.320 it again, maybe experience, uh, you know, the entire college experience. 1:13:38.320 --> 1:13:40.519 I didn't really get that. It's a little different. Yeah, 1:13:40.600 --> 1:13:43.519 Michigan was awesome. Dude, the hockey boys there, That's one thing. 1:13:43.560 --> 1:13:45.639 I don't know what your experience was like, but whenever 1:13:45.680 --> 1:13:49.320 I've been around hockey people, especially in college, it just 1:13:49.360 --> 1:13:52.320 seems like the closest knit group of dudes. Yeah, everyone 1:13:52.760 --> 1:13:56.040 fucks around with each other, hangs out. There was a 1:13:56.160 --> 1:13:57.679 I don't even know if this is like even appropriate 1:13:57.680 --> 1:14:00.760 for this podcast, but there was a spring semester the 1:14:00.800 --> 1:14:03.320 hockey boys decided that they're not sleeping with a girl 1:14:03.600 --> 1:14:05.559 by themselves, like they had have one of their boys with. 1:14:05.520 --> 1:14:11.080 Them, like a fucking I'm gonna start like twitching.

Like who decides when you're gonna fight? 1:17:49.200 --> 1:17:49.920 Why you're gonna fight? 1:17:49.960 --> 1:17:52.200 And so there used to be so that was part 1:17:52.240 --> 1:17:52.439 of it. 1:17:52.520 --> 1:17:56.320 Like when I was coming up, like the goons, they 1:17:56.360 --> 1:17:58.720 would just they knew they were fighting each other for 1:17:58.800 --> 1:18:01.000 no reason other than we're gonna fight. 1:18:01.080 --> 1:18:02.000 Like it did nothing. 1:18:02.439 --> 1:18:05.320 And so I kind of agree with like getting rid 1:18:05.360 --> 1:18:06.519 of these stage fights. 1:18:07.120 --> 1:18:08.880 Now, fights pretty much happen if you hit. 1:18:08.760 --> 1:18:10.519 Somebody from behind, if you get your buddy, you know, 1:18:10.560 --> 1:18:12.280 you hit a guy and your team dirty. 1:18:12.320 --> 1:18:14.720 If you run the goalie like something, what's run the 1:18:14.760 --> 1:18:15.200 goalie meme? 1:18:15.320 --> 1:18:18.320 A you can't really hit the goalie. Like if somebody 1:18:18.360 --> 1:18:20.559 hits the goalie, like, game on, if you touch the goalie, 1:18:20.560 --> 1:18:22.760 it's over pretty much. Yeah, Like, especially if he's out 1:18:22.760 --> 1:18:25.679 of his crease and you hit him, like that's usually 1:18:25.760 --> 1:18:28.120 enough to start byight now exactly pretty much. 1:18:28.200 --> 1:18:31.680 Yeah again, he's hit quarterback. But even though you hit 1:18:31.720 --> 1:18:32.560 the quarterback. 1:18:32.280 --> 1:18:35.519 Yeah yeah, but you know it used to be before 1:18:35.600 --> 1:18:37.599 first shift of the game. Two guys have no problem 1:18:37.640 --> 1:18:39.800 with each other, and the game hasn't even started. They're 1:18:39.840 --> 1:18:43.080 squaring off. They've got That's really what the game's gotten 1:18:43.120 --> 1:18:45.040 rid of. That's one thing that's not that bad they 1:18:45.040 --> 1:18:47.960 get away from because like those guys, they didn't even 1:18:48.000 --> 1:18:49.400 want to be fighting each other half the time. 1:18:49.439 --> 1:18:52.040 So there's no situation where it's like, hey it's three 1:18:52.040 --> 1:18:54.120 to one, we need a spark. 1:18:54.280 --> 1:18:57.240 No, that's so that's still that happens way less, but 1:18:57.240 --> 1:18:59.559 that still would be a reason if you're down. But 1:18:59.600 --> 1:19:02.439 they're on with like the one minute of the game, 1:19:02.520 --> 1:19:04.920 score zero zero, the two toughest guys are gonna fight. 1:19:05.240 --> 1:19:07.840 And both of the guys for the most part, haven't 1:19:07.880 --> 1:19:10.280 slept pregame meal because they're so nervous the night before 1:19:10.320 --> 1:19:11.320 they know who they got to fight. 1:19:11.360 --> 1:19:12.880 It's like, yeah, they talk to these guys. 1:19:12.880 --> 1:19:16.360 These dudes battled in such anxiety to know like even 1:19:16.400 --> 1:19:18.080 though I know I'm tough, I know it can fight, 1:19:18.200 --> 1:19:19.719 I don't know what's gonna happen in this fight. 1:19:19.920 --> 1:19:22.839 And there's a documentary about that, right like Ice Guardians. 1:19:22.880 --> 1:19:24.920 That's great, Yeah, this is in that actually is he? 1:19:25.120 --> 1:19:26.800 Yeah? I watched it like four or five years. 1:19:26.840 --> 1:19:28.400 I don't remember a whole lot of it, but them 1:19:28.439 --> 1:19:30.600 talking about that was Biz. Biz was like one of 1:19:30.600 --> 1:19:31.280 those guys. 1:19:31.080 --> 1:19:33.240 Right, that's how bisms of living. Biz. 1:19:33.840 --> 1:19:37.760 I'm dude, Like in my mind, I'm like, I'm beating 1:19:37.760 --> 1:19:38.080 the guys. 1:19:38.840 --> 1:19:39.200 You bro. 1:19:40.000 --> 1:19:43.040 He's my height and like Jacks, he's pretty big compared 1:19:43.040 --> 1:19:44.240 to most human beings. 1:19:44.240 --> 1:19:45.519 You're nine feet tall. 1:19:45.800 --> 1:19:48.559 Could you teach me the nice tall joke? If you can, 1:19:48.600 --> 1:19:51.400 you teach me to skate and fight? How long would 1:19:51.400 --> 1:19:52.559 that teach you do either? 1:19:53.400 --> 1:19:55.519 I couldn't do. I couldn't. I couldn't teach you do either. 1:19:55.800 --> 1:19:58.600 So Biz, My first memory of Biz is uh, I 1:19:58.640 --> 1:20:02.280 went to Pittsburgh training camp and dude, he's not a 1:20:02.280 --> 1:20:02.679 big dude. 1:20:02.760 --> 1:20:05.720 Eight am, eight am. I'm so. 1:20:05.760 --> 1:20:08.439 The first there was four groups and the first group 1:20:08.479 --> 1:20:10.000 was on at eight am, and I walk in the 1:20:10.080 --> 1:20:13.280 rink and he's squaring off with his buddy. Like at 1:20:13.280 --> 1:20:15.840 the time, they were real good friends, this kid Dan Carcillo. 1:20:16.320 --> 1:20:19.519 Eight am, they're squaring off center ice, good friends and 1:20:19.560 --> 1:20:20.639 going toe to toe. 1:20:20.880 --> 1:20:22.360 I'm like Jesus Christ. 1:20:22.479 --> 1:20:24.639 But Biz almost made the Penguins when he's nineteen years 1:20:24.640 --> 1:20:26.679 old as a defenseman, and then he had some real 1:20:26.720 --> 1:20:27.519 off ice issues. 1:20:27.560 --> 1:20:29.840 He was a complete lunatic when he was younger. He's 1:20:29.840 --> 1:20:30.280 getting in. 1:20:30.200 --> 1:20:33.040 Trouble all the time, He'll tell you himself. And they 1:20:33.040 --> 1:20:36.280 sent him to the AHL, to the coast and finally 1:20:36.320 --> 1:20:37.639 they were like, all right, you're gonna be a Ford, 1:20:37.680 --> 1:20:39.280 you're gonna be on the fourth line, and you're gonna fight. 1:20:40.120 --> 1:20:41.960 And what he did that's pretty impressive, is like a 1:20:41.960 --> 1:20:43.519 lot of guys would just be like, no, I'm not 1:20:43.720 --> 1:20:46.200 I'm not a fourth line. I was defenseman, I'm not fighting. 1:20:46.200 --> 1:20:48.000 And Biz was like, whatever it takes to get the NHL, 1:20:48.040 --> 1:20:50.200 I don't care. And so he started fighting and he's 1:20:50.280 --> 1:20:51.680 learned to fight, and he did it, and he did 1:20:51.720 --> 1:20:52.960 it and he kept doing it, and he ended up 1:20:52.960 --> 1:20:55.360 being the guy who would like every game going into 1:20:55.400 --> 1:20:58.120 fight guys that. Yeah, he's compared to NHL fighters, he's 1:20:58.120 --> 1:21:00.840 a little small, little undersized, so he'd be fighting guys huge, 1:21:00.880 --> 1:21:03.320 bigger than him, and he'd be like, not wanting to 1:21:03.320 --> 1:21:04.639 fight him, but he'd just do it. 1:21:05.000 --> 1:21:09.120 So that's why he's an animal. And I got a buddy, 1:21:09.200 --> 1:21:11.400 what is he doing off the ice? He doing off 1:21:11.400 --> 1:21:14.759 the ice? I mean like old school chicklets bizz. 1:21:14.800 --> 1:21:17.839 You hear about his like sexcapades, you hear about his drinking, 1:21:18.000 --> 1:21:18.559 is drugging. 1:21:18.600 --> 1:21:19.680 He was a lunatic. 1:21:19.720 --> 1:21:21.840 He was definitely a pig rose kind of guy, Lula tech. 1:21:22.520 --> 1:21:25.200 But he's uh, he's he's cleaning up now, he's a businessman. 1:21:25.240 --> 1:21:27.599 He's got a girl. He's he's a smart guy. 1:21:28.000 --> 1:21:30.360 Dude, he is. He is a smart fucking dude. 1:21:30.600 --> 1:21:32.439 He's the dumbest smart person in the world. 1:21:32.880 --> 1:21:35.519 Like Texas of his bike, you reminds me of Will, 1:21:35.920 --> 1:21:37.880 but it reminds me of Will Is the other way. 1:21:38.360 --> 1:21:39.479 Will's no Will. 1:21:39.360 --> 1:21:43.120 Smart smart, but like business River motivated, knows what he's doing, 1:21:44.080 --> 1:21:46.360 strategy handles all this stuff. I feel like all the 1:21:46.400 --> 1:21:47.880 shots you've taken and we got to lift up. 1:21:47.760 --> 1:21:49.800 A little bit of why you said let me, let 1:21:49.840 --> 1:21:51.280 me pump you up after this, you can pump his 1:21:51.360 --> 1:21:53.439 tire first. What He walks away from HM and goes fu. 1:21:53.720 --> 1:21:56.400 Yeah, but he uh no, will, I mean without Will, 1:21:56.439 --> 1:21:57.719 this podcast is going nowhere. 1:21:58.040 --> 1:22:00.920 So that's Bizz with our podcast.

And if it was still just us three 1:22:16.400 --> 1:22:20.679 without Biz, we'd have I don't know, twenty thousand people listening, 1:22:20.840 --> 1:22:23.400 which was cool. I thought I don't have the work 1:22:23.400 --> 1:22:25.040 ethic BIZ has. I was like, oh, I'm in for it. 1:22:25.080 --> 1:22:28.519 I made good money playing. But Biz has made us 1:22:28.840 --> 1:22:31.080 what we are. And I feel like he's kind of 1:22:31.120 --> 1:22:33.240 like You're out there like panicking about the game the 1:22:33.280 --> 1:22:37.080 next day and Aaron Donald and he's like making business calls. 1:22:36.840 --> 1:22:40.559 And never get up a sect him. But yeah, help 1:22:40.600 --> 1:22:44.280 he retires, please retiring. 1:22:45.280 --> 1:22:46.519 Who's the toughest guy you face? 1:22:47.240 --> 1:22:49.240 Fucking Chandler Jones ate my lunch this year? 1:22:49.360 --> 1:22:50.160 Really? Oh yeah? 1:22:50.200 --> 1:22:51.719 He sh up for sure? 1:22:51.840 --> 1:22:54.280 If you give up one sack. Is that like a bad, 1:22:54.479 --> 1:22:55.599 bad game? No way. 1:22:55.720 --> 1:22:57.760 I give up two sacks in that game and a 1:22:57.800 --> 1:23:00.280 lot of hits and a lot of pressures. But it 1:23:00.320 --> 1:23:01.640 was the first game with the dude. There was the 1:23:01.680 --> 1:23:03.760 first game coming off, like my knee and stuff like that. 1:23:03.800 --> 1:23:06.400 I think if we went first game, first game coming off, 1:23:06.439 --> 1:23:07.599 probably wasn't ready to do it. 1:23:07.640 --> 1:23:09.880 So when you're going through a game, which I'm guessing 1:23:09.920 --> 1:23:12.680 you haven't had many like that, like third quarter of 1:23:12.680 --> 1:23:14.559 that game are You're like, fuck, I can't really stop 1:23:14.640 --> 1:23:15.160 him right now? 1:23:15.479 --> 1:23:17.880 That game that game, like halfway through after the first quirl, 1:23:17.880 --> 1:23:19.120 I was like, get me the fuck out of here. 1:23:19.200 --> 1:23:20.320 Oh what a panic. 1:23:20.360 --> 1:23:21.760 Can't wait for the ship to end, because I know 1:23:21.840 --> 1:23:25.800 Will's Washington with my wife and these boys.

He named himself Rear Admiral when 1:25:49.960 --> 1:25:51.960 he started writing for barstools. 1:25:51.400 --> 1:25:54.920 Something to do with like, yeah, like I try to 1:25:54.920 --> 1:25:55.479 get it, I don't. 1:25:55.760 --> 1:25:57.680 When he tells storry whatever, I want to throw up, 1:25:57.760 --> 1:25:58.759 so I don't really listen. 1:25:58.840 --> 1:26:00.360 But he's Rear admiral, can. 1:26:00.240 --> 1:26:03.240 You like spark notes me one of his stories. 1:26:03.720 --> 1:26:06.759 No business And the other day if he had a squirter, 1:26:06.880 --> 1:26:10.400 I was like, I just threw up. But it's us 1:26:10.400 --> 1:26:13.559 three Grenelli's the producer and Bis and I. 1:26:13.800 --> 1:26:17.000 So we met. We were on the Wolkespear Scranton Penguins, 1:26:17.000 --> 1:26:20.280 the Pittsburgh Penguins AHL team, and then Bis got put 1:26:20.320 --> 1:26:20.799 on waivers. 1:26:20.840 --> 1:26:23.599 He got claimed by Phoenix. One of my best buddies 1:26:23.600 --> 1:26:26.520 played on at the time, Phoenix Cooties. Now it's Arizona. 1:26:27.200 --> 1:26:29.760 Stayed in touch a little bit, but then like it 1:26:29.880 --> 1:26:32.400 was it eight years later we both were kind of 1:26:33.200 --> 1:26:36.080 at the end of the career. We both got tryout 1:26:36.120 --> 1:26:39.360 offers with the Saint Louis Blues and you know, kind 1:26:39.400 --> 1:26:41.719 of like I think it probably happens in the NFL, 1:26:41.760 --> 1:26:44.000 where you get invites to camp, maybe you. 1:26:44.000 --> 1:26:46.000 Get like workouts and they'll fly you in and you'll 1:26:46.040 --> 1:26:47.519 be a few of you in a position group doing 1:26:47.520 --> 1:26:48.280 the same workouts. 1:26:48.320 --> 1:26:50.240 So hockey, you get a PTO they call it. So 1:26:50.240 --> 1:26:51.920 you basically go to camp on a tryout. 1:26:51.960 --> 1:26:53.720 You get to per deem every day and then at 1:26:53.760 --> 1:26:55.400 the end of the camp hopefully you get a contract, 1:26:55.400 --> 1:26:58.800 maybe an HL deal. So Bis and I we were 1:26:58.800 --> 1:27:03.080 the two PTO guys. We knew each other before. We're 1:27:03.160 --> 1:27:05.080 kind of loud guys. So in the room we were 1:27:05.120 --> 1:27:07.719 like biz callses. We were the jesters. Like the Blues 1:27:07.800 --> 1:27:10.040 loved us. All the guys loved us that you know, 1:27:10.080 --> 1:27:12.280 the GM he was like a big fan, but they 1:27:12.280 --> 1:27:14.200 didn't never room for us. Neither want us were very good. 1:27:14.720 --> 1:27:16.960 But in that time Bus and I spent a lot. 1:27:17.040 --> 1:27:19.320 We just hang out all day. We just after practice, 1:27:19.360 --> 1:27:21.280 we go back, we go to dinner together. We'd hang 1:27:21.320 --> 1:27:23.760 out and we were talking. We're like we should do 1:27:23.800 --> 1:27:26.400 something like when we're done, we should just like our 1:27:26.439 --> 1:27:29.840 other buddy Keith handle that. He said, like we should 1:27:29.880 --> 1:27:32.280 just go to the rink in the mornings we retire 1:27:32.960 --> 1:27:35.320 and just sit in the locker room, get dressed, but 1:27:35.400 --> 1:27:37.559 then knuckle on the ice and just tell stories and 1:27:37.600 --> 1:27:40.720 talk to each other like some sort of like yeah, 1:27:40.840 --> 1:27:42.880 just like still be in the game, but without having 1:27:42.880 --> 1:27:46.720 a play and so sure as shit, I retired before him. 1:27:47.080 --> 1:27:48.959 I put on Twitter, I want to start a podcast. 1:27:49.000 --> 1:27:50.280 What do you think? Tagged him. 1:27:50.680 --> 1:27:52.760 He was still playing. He said, dude, I can't do it. Yeah, 1:27:52.800 --> 1:27:54.320 you can't do it right till you're done. That's probably 1:27:54.320 --> 1:27:55.559 why you don't do it during the season. 1:27:55.720 --> 1:27:56.200 Yeah, you know. 1:27:56.400 --> 1:27:58.759 And uh and talk is zone bird, like we've already 1:27:58.760 --> 1:27:59.280 talked about. 1:27:59.400 --> 1:28:02.559 Yeah, it's different and when and he was in the AHL, 1:28:02.760 --> 1:28:04.320 so he's like, dude, I and he had just gotten 1:28:04.400 --> 1:28:07.040 signed by this HL team. He had nothing going and 1:28:07.120 --> 1:28:09.120 so he's like, I can't right now. He's like, all right, well, 1:28:09.120 --> 1:28:11.679 whenever you want, you're in. And then this your admiral 1:28:11.760 --> 1:28:14.880 who I had met like one time. He reached out 1:28:15.280 --> 1:28:16.479 and I was like, all right, I'll do it with you. 1:28:16.640 --> 1:28:18.599 And I didn't even like meet him for a beer first. 1:28:18.680 --> 1:28:20.800 Like, looking back, we probably probably wouldn't have started the 1:28:20.840 --> 1:28:22.400 pot had I met him for a beer first. I'm 1:28:22.400 --> 1:28:25.479 glad I didn't. But we, uh, we hit it off. 1:28:25.520 --> 1:28:26.120 We did like. 1:28:27.760 --> 1:28:31.240 Ten to fifteen episodes. Barstool picked us up and. 1:28:31.200 --> 1:28:33.000 Then see with Barstool while you guys were doing this. 1:28:33.320 --> 1:28:34.680 Yeah, but he was never paid. He was always just 1:28:34.680 --> 1:28:35.799 writing Bruin's blogs. 1:28:35.960 --> 1:28:36.920 And then he did a podcast. 1:28:37.040 --> 1:28:39.200 Use those we did the podcast and so he could 1:28:39.200 --> 1:28:41.720 put it on the blog, but it wasn't like under 1:28:41.720 --> 1:28:42.679 the barstool umbrella. 1:28:43.080 --> 1:28:45.600 And then Dave was like, all right, we want to 1:28:45.600 --> 1:28:48.000 bring you guys in and I want to say we did. 1:28:48.800 --> 1:28:52.120 I'd actually love to know these. I'm say fifty more episodes. 1:28:52.120 --> 1:28:54.519 And then Biz retired, came in, and then it was 1:28:54.760 --> 1:28:56.840 we took off. So we had gotten to kind of 1:28:56.840 --> 1:28:59.559 where I think the max of Mera and Grenelli would 1:28:59.560 --> 1:29:01.720 have gotten. I think, I don't I don't know, you know, 1:29:01.760 --> 1:29:04.439 I had no interest in doing anymore any more work. 1:29:04.800 --> 1:29:05.559 I was like, this is cool. 1:29:05.560 --> 1:29:07.519 One day a week we meet up and then Biz 1:29:07.560 --> 1:29:09.479 came and just get exploded. 1:29:10.280 --> 1:29:12.439 Yeah, so it was cool. It was great. But Biz 1:29:12.520 --> 1:29:14.479 is like he's one in a million, that guy. 1:29:14.520 --> 1:29:17.040 He's a funny, funny human being who's way smarter than 1:29:17.080 --> 1:29:17.559 people think. 1:29:18.000 --> 1:29:19.800 Oh yeah, he's like a hustler. You even hear it 1:29:19.800 --> 1:29:21.880 when you're on the freet smart, you know what I mean. 1:29:21.920 --> 1:29:23.160 I'll be like, I'll call you in five or you 1:29:23.240 --> 1:29:24.760 try to call him, he'll know rightway and be call 1:29:24.760 --> 1:29:26.800 you in five and the. 1:29:26.040 --> 1:29:29.400 Ability he's got his ability where when the call ends 1:29:30.120 --> 1:29:33.440 he hangs up like before, it's like he's always. 1:29:33.160 --> 1:29:33.880 The first to hang up. 1:29:33.920 --> 1:29:36.360 So now I'm like, as our calls kind of coming 1:29:36.400 --> 1:29:38.080 in and I try to beat him and I still can't. 1:29:38.120 --> 1:29:40.760 Like all of a sudden, he's hung up first. I'm like, you, motherfucker, 1:29:41.040 --> 1:29:42.639 I want to hang up on you before you hang 1:29:42.720 --> 1:29:43.040 up on me. 1:29:43.080 --> 1:29:45.120 It's a weird thing. He's got control of me. Over 1:29:45.280 --> 1:29:46.400 Do you think that's a smarter thing? 1:29:46.960 --> 1:29:49.439 Yeah? Probably, he seems like I'm not exactly a genius. 1:29:51.280 --> 1:29:53.320 Can No one's gonna fight you on that. 1:29:53.439 --> 1:29:55.880 You know one of us is gonna fight. I've been 1:29:55.920 --> 1:29:58.160 one to ask. You get drafted fifth overall? 1:29:58.600 --> 1:29:59.960 You sign like I want to say, you made like 1:30:00.000 --> 1:30:02.479 twenty four million dollars in the NHL. You get traded 1:30:02.520 --> 1:30:04.559 a couple of times, you end up in the miners. 1:30:04.880 --> 1:30:07.160 What made you want to continue to play? Like after 1:30:07.280 --> 1:30:09.639 your peak? Like you played on the Olympic team. Yeah, 1:30:09.840 --> 1:30:11.320 and then you play in the miners, and then you 1:30:11.360 --> 1:30:12.879 even reminder and then you even. 1:30:12.720 --> 1:30:14.360 Travel overseason playing Russia? 1:30:14.479 --> 1:30:17.280 Like what why did you continue to play when you 1:30:17.320 --> 1:30:19.120 had already kind of like made your bag and made. 1:30:18.920 --> 1:30:19.479 Your living. 1:30:21.080 --> 1:30:23.240 Man, especially when you had to talk with your dad too. Now, 1:30:23.400 --> 1:30:27.360 at the time I was I went to Russia. I 1:30:27.400 --> 1:30:29.320 went to Russia when I was thirty one. I just 1:30:29.439 --> 1:30:32.439 wasn't done. I was I I didn't I didn't want 1:30:32.439 --> 1:30:33.960 to go to Russia. I wanted to be in the NHL. 1:30:34.000 --> 1:30:37.559 But I also wasn't ready to be like done playing And. 1:30:37.560 --> 1:30:41.360 It was because you were scared of the transition. Yeah, 1:30:41.479 --> 1:30:42.840 I actually was never that scared. 1:30:42.880 --> 1:30:44.880 I actually was never that scared of the transition because 1:30:44.880 --> 1:30:46.320 I had money and I knew I was set. 1:30:47.320 --> 1:30:50.200 But having known now, if I knew now what. 1:30:50.240 --> 1:30:52.519 I knew, like you know, I'm trying to say, yeah, 1:30:52.560 --> 1:30:55.040 I would have I would have been scared, but I 1:30:55.080 --> 1:30:57.600 really wasn't. But I I I now if I'm like, 1:30:57.640 --> 1:31:00.320 holy shit, like I actually I would have kind of 1:31:00.320 --> 1:31:02.320 been panic because I know so many guys now that 1:31:02.360 --> 1:31:04.800 don't they don't know what to do, and so I 1:31:04.960 --> 1:31:07.400 just more than anything, I still like really loved the game, 1:31:07.439 --> 1:31:09.760 and I I didn't love playing it as much because 1:31:09.800 --> 1:31:11.960 my ankle was so fucked up and I couldn't my 1:31:12.040 --> 1:31:13.880 brain was telling me to do things and the body 1:31:13.960 --> 1:31:14.840 just couldn't do it. 1:31:14.840 --> 1:31:16.679 It was so it was hard, but I wasn't ready 1:31:16.760 --> 1:31:18.439 to just give it up. It'd be a horrible feeling. 1:31:18.479 --> 1:31:20.400 It's the worst feeling in the world. I'll never forget. 1:31:20.439 --> 1:31:22.600 I'll never forget talking to coach in Edmonton, He's like, 1:31:23.000 --> 1:31:24.280 you gotta be here on this play. 1:31:24.280 --> 1:31:26.479 We're going over video. I was like, smitty, This guy, 1:31:26.479 --> 1:31:29.480 Steve Smith had a long career. I was like I 1:31:29.479 --> 1:31:32.840 I was telling myself like I was, I was there 1:31:32.880 --> 1:31:34.680 in my mind and then just and then you just 1:31:34.720 --> 1:31:35.320 can't do it. 1:31:35.320 --> 1:31:38.000 It's just like every athlete realizes it. But it was 1:31:38.040 --> 1:31:41.040 an awful feeling and it was tough. But when I 1:31:41.120 --> 1:31:43.639 kept playing and I went to Russia. Actually after Russia, 1:31:43.840 --> 1:31:45.840 I went to Sweden too. I still wasn't done. 1:31:46.120 --> 1:31:47.599 I was like, one more year and it was pretty 1:31:47.680 --> 1:31:48.519 pretty good money. 1:31:48.840 --> 1:31:51.000 I feel like Sweden's much nicer Russia. 1:31:51.160 --> 1:31:53.320 That's the other thing. And I was like Sweden, everyone 1:31:53.320 --> 1:31:56.439 speaks English. It's nice. Yeah. And I played two games 1:31:56.439 --> 1:31:59.000 and that's when it was real bad and I retired 1:31:59.000 --> 1:32:01.400 after the first period of the second game in Sweden. 1:32:02.760 --> 1:32:03.639 Game was mine. 1:32:03.760 --> 1:32:08.760 So the first the first game, the first game was 1:32:08.800 --> 1:32:10.640 on the road and I was like minus two. I 1:32:10.720 --> 1:32:14.400 was horrible. I'm like, Holy, you're on the goal. You're 1:32:14.400 --> 1:32:16.840 on the ice for two teams. The goals the team, 1:32:16.840 --> 1:32:18.960 you're two goals for the team you're playing against scores. 1:32:19.240 --> 1:32:21.000 You're on the ice for none of your team scores, 1:32:21.520 --> 1:32:22.559 you know what I mean. So if I'm on the 1:32:22.560 --> 1:32:24.160 ice for three, my team score two day. 1:32:24.080 --> 1:32:26.280 Score on plus one. Yeah, So I was minus too, 1:32:26.360 --> 1:32:27.880 a kind of a liability. And then I go out 1:32:27.920 --> 1:32:28.719 in the first period of our. 1:32:28.600 --> 1:32:30.679 First as I make you a liability when there's four other. 1:32:30.600 --> 1:32:34.960 Guys because you can kind of like if you were 1:32:34.960 --> 1:32:36.599 to watch the game and know the game, you kind 1:32:36.600 --> 1:32:37.679 of know whose main. 1:32:37.600 --> 1:32:38.240 Fault it is. 1:32:38.720 --> 1:32:41.160 You know, it was kind of like my guy, you 1:32:41.160 --> 1:32:43.120 know if Chandler Jones sacks a QB, like there's a 1:32:43.120 --> 1:32:44.920 bunch of guys in the field, but he beat you. 1:32:46.720 --> 1:32:48.360 Yeah, sorry, sorry, I know what happens. 1:32:48.439 --> 1:32:50.280 Then I kind of got past that in this conversation. 1:32:50.479 --> 1:32:52.320 You know, I didn't forget.

It sucks and zoom and 1:46:53.160 --> 1:46:53.400 when you. 1:46:53.439 --> 1:46:55.240 Do the like you want to say something, he's trying 1:46:55.280 --> 1:46:57.040 to say something, you interrupt each other on the zoom and. 1:46:58.120 --> 1:47:00.479 There's a lag in the internet and then you all 1:47:00.560 --> 1:47:02.800 talk and then everyone stops talking and then someone goes 1:47:03.040 --> 1:47:03.920 and it's like what are we playing? 1:47:03.960 --> 1:47:06.240 Red Light? Green Light with awkward moment where everyone's looking 1:47:06.240 --> 1:47:06.840 at each other like. 1:47:07.360 --> 1:47:09.680 Yeah, online your head, you're like, we're gonna cut the 1:47:09.680 --> 1:47:11.280 ship out of this part, like make sure it's no 1:47:11.479 --> 1:47:12.120 fucking dead. 1:47:12.000 --> 1:47:14.280 Area, say something, say something, say something, and then you 1:47:14.360 --> 1:47:17.040 gotta say something. Wilse says the same thing. It makes 1:47:17.040 --> 1:47:20.240 it sound like you're you're tough to reel in. Yeah, 1:47:20.800 --> 1:47:25.040 you really are me. I am. I am really and 1:47:25.240 --> 1:47:26.320 we're like business. 1:47:26.560 --> 1:47:30.400 It's a buz and buz and I will will lifelong 1:47:30.560 --> 1:47:33.639 be like really good friends because I've told we're always 1:47:33.680 --> 1:47:37.160 really honest with each other. And I told Biz, I said, biz, like, 1:47:37.240 --> 1:47:40.679 I've made money, I love golf, I have two young kids. 1:47:41.040 --> 1:47:43.920 I'm I love this podcast, and I've actually gotten more 1:47:44.000 --> 1:47:47.800 into it the past couple of years. But I'm not 1:47:47.920 --> 1:47:51.360 gonna be like changing everything to like make this work. 1:47:51.479 --> 1:47:54.360 Like you, let's plan stuff out and I'll be there. 1:47:54.439 --> 1:47:56.880 But in terms of like the way you are and 1:47:56.960 --> 1:47:59.200 how you're willing to go anywhere and do anything at 1:47:59.240 --> 1:48:00.200 a moment's. 1:47:59.880 --> 1:48:02.479 No, I'm not like that. But I think because we're 1:48:02.479 --> 1:48:04.599 honest with each other, it works. So there's times he's 1:48:04.640 --> 1:48:07.479 frustrated with me, no doubt, but that's just kind of 1:48:07.520 --> 1:48:07.920 how it is. 1:48:08.080 --> 1:48:10.720 Because in the end, like, I'm not going to sacrifice 1:48:10.800 --> 1:48:13.559 kind of my happiness for work because of the money 1:48:13.600 --> 1:48:16.680 I made before, even though I love my job, it's 1:48:16.760 --> 1:48:19.040 just like I think that makes me better. 1:48:18.920 --> 1:48:20.640 At my job too. What do you do besides this 1:48:21.080 --> 1:48:21.559 like golf? 1:48:22.080 --> 1:48:25.479 Oh yeah, all right, here you going an annual badass 1:48:25.520 --> 1:48:28.320 trip with the boys. I'm talking pj's helicopters picking you up. 1:48:28.479 --> 1:48:30.800 Yeah, it's kind of gotten hurt since COVID, but we 1:48:30.880 --> 1:48:32.880 have like a bunch of Europeans Swedish guys. 1:48:33.000 --> 1:48:36.000 We go over to Europe, get helicopters to the course. 1:48:36.080 --> 1:48:38.720 It's sick. Then, like at the end of Scotland one year, 1:48:39.520 --> 1:48:44.600 Henrik Zetterberg, Nicholas Backstrom and Eric Carlson got us like a. 1:48:47.120 --> 1:48:49.200 Big jet, like a big jet to go to Spain. 1:48:49.320 --> 1:48:54.120 We finished the trip off there. From Scotland, we went 1:48:54.120 --> 1:48:54.800 to Majorca. 1:48:54.920 --> 1:48:58.519 It was great. Yeah, it's fucking hard, Yeah, it legit, 1:48:58.680 --> 1:48:59.559 it was. It was awesome. 1:48:59.720 --> 1:49:02.559 So I will say though, like I've gotten more into 1:49:02.760 --> 1:49:05.040 like every year it goes on and more into the pod, 1:49:05.120 --> 1:49:08.280 I think because like you can only play so much golf. 1:49:08.360 --> 1:49:10.680 I love it. But I also I am like, all right, 1:49:11.680 --> 1:49:13.600 let's kind of try to make a legacy here with 1:49:13.680 --> 1:49:15.240 the pod and try to do what we can. But 1:49:15.520 --> 1:49:17.360 it's so I think the podcasting is so cool. 1:49:17.439 --> 1:49:19.599 You guys know it's it's it's a lot of people 1:49:19.720 --> 1:49:22.360 think it's very easy, and I don't really blame them, Like, dude, 1:49:22.400 --> 1:49:24.439 you show up to work one day a week. I'm like, well, 1:49:25.520 --> 1:49:27.719 we have one show a week, but it's not really 1:49:27.840 --> 1:49:30.040 one day a week because you're preparing for the show 1:49:30.120 --> 1:49:32.960 throughout the week. You're doing interviews that we bank throughout 1:49:33.000 --> 1:49:34.840 the week. Then when you do the show, you know 1:49:34.960 --> 1:49:37.200 we record two three hours. Our shows are long now, 1:49:37.240 --> 1:49:39.880 they're like three to four hours. Everything long, feathery long, 1:49:39.920 --> 1:49:41.639 which is you guys. 1:49:41.439 --> 1:49:44.519 Were doing well, why wouldn't you split the three hour? 1:49:44.560 --> 1:49:45.559 Like, why wouldn't you do two a week? 1:49:45.560 --> 1:49:46.360 Why'd you go back to one? 1:49:46.439 --> 1:49:49.280 Because two we can because every time we get on, 1:49:49.479 --> 1:49:51.360 when we get on, no matter what, it's two and 1:49:51.360 --> 1:49:52.360 a half hours, three hours. 1:49:52.400 --> 1:49:53.760 So if it's three hours, why don't you do like 1:49:53.760 --> 1:49:55.559 an hour and a half and then do an hour 1:49:55.560 --> 1:49:56.479 and a half on Wednesday. 1:49:56.720 --> 1:49:57.759 That would be a good argument. 1:49:57.840 --> 1:50:01.080 But hockey it's tough because hockey, like you, we go 1:50:01.240 --> 1:50:03.000 into the main stories we have and we end up 1:50:03.040 --> 1:50:05.080 going off on to tangents. But if you were to 1:50:05.160 --> 1:50:06.800 do two times a week in hockey, which we did, 1:50:07.200 --> 1:50:08.680 there's not that much going on. 1:50:08.840 --> 1:50:10.439 It's kind of hard. There's a lot of times on 1:50:10.520 --> 1:50:13.680 the second episode during the week, you're like, oh, we. 1:50:13.720 --> 1:50:16.000 Don't have much here, and so I guess we could 1:50:16.040 --> 1:50:18.479 kind of go a little shorter each time, but it's 1:50:18.520 --> 1:50:20.639 worked out better. I think we our listeners have gone 1:50:20.720 --> 1:50:22.040 up since we went to one two week and this. 1:50:22.439 --> 1:50:24.600 You know, you get complaints no matter what online, but 1:50:25.640 --> 1:50:26.280 it is what it is. 1:50:26.439 --> 1:50:28.800 We don't get We don't get any complaints. No people 1:50:28.960 --> 1:50:31.280 love you know, you'll tell me. They know that. I'm 1:50:31.439 --> 1:50:36.000 got my head taking off board Warriors football season, word Warriors. 1:50:36.160 --> 1:50:36.679 No one gets. 1:50:36.880 --> 1:50:39.120 No one fucking gets after me. No one gets after 1:50:39.200 --> 1:50:40.960 me more than keyboard Warriors. But on the spot and 1:50:41.040 --> 1:50:42.360 it nuts.

They did say that 2:07:19.520 --> 2:07:21.200 that the ice that they were in there was melting 2:07:21.280 --> 2:07:22.240 it and watering it down. 2:07:22.360 --> 2:07:24.680 But the way, how did you so when you guys 2:07:24.720 --> 2:07:26.440 got these bottles, how'd you sell them so fast? How'd 2:07:26.440 --> 2:07:28.360 you like market that so well? 2:07:28.880 --> 2:07:30.600 We talked about them on the pod and then what 2:07:30.920 --> 2:07:35.400 happened was we got lucky in a way that you 2:07:35.520 --> 2:07:37.680 want to get it out to everyone as quick as possible, 2:07:37.760 --> 2:07:38.360 But the fact that. 2:07:38.360 --> 2:07:41.400 We couldn't get into Canada. Canada has these crazy, especially Ontario. 2:07:41.480 --> 2:07:44.560 They have like the LCBO where they regulate all the 2:07:44.640 --> 2:07:47.280 liquor that comes into the province LB for. 2:07:49.080 --> 2:07:49.760 Thank you very much. 2:07:49.920 --> 2:07:54.360 So they like it's Ontario really controlled. So but all 2:07:54.360 --> 2:07:56.320 of a sudden, because it was in Pennsylvania or it 2:07:56.440 --> 2:07:58.640 was in Massachusetts and the few states it was in 2:07:59.160 --> 2:08:00.800 and we're talking about and people are putting it on 2:08:00.960 --> 2:08:03.200 social that like the fact that they couldn't get it 2:08:03.360 --> 2:08:03.960 like helped us. 2:08:04.400 --> 2:08:06.040 Yeah, you know where it was like it was really 2:08:06.120 --> 2:08:08.440 building up, like we want that, we want that.

I think 2:33:16.480 --> 2:33:19.080 it's not like you arguing you got to be like 2:33:19.080 --> 2:33:20.720 an anomaly, Dad, you gotta be you gotta be a 2:33:20.800 --> 2:33:22.879 dude that just didn't get it, like has all the tools, 2:33:22.920 --> 2:33:24.440 that just didn't get it and then goes and gets it. 2:33:24.640 --> 2:33:26.480 We don't have like a sindown league, like what is 2:33:26.520 --> 2:33:27.800 it age l's we. 2:33:27.800 --> 2:33:31.520 Don't have an hockey is different because you get drafted 2:33:31.560 --> 2:33:35.120 at eighteen. So I kind of wish they did up 2:33:35.160 --> 2:33:37.800 the draft age a little bit because so college football, 2:33:37.840 --> 2:33:40.360 you got to go three years post graduate. 2:33:40.280 --> 2:33:42.359 From high school, right, So if your PC. 2:33:42.280 --> 2:33:44.040 You can leave after I'm sorry, if you're rector you 2:33:44.080 --> 2:33:45.240 can leave after your sophomore year. 2:33:45.320 --> 2:33:47.279 Yeah, But so hockey's different. 2:33:47.360 --> 2:33:50.000 So there's a lot more guys in hockey that our 2:33:50.080 --> 2:33:53.440 first round picked busts because they're eighteen and who knows 2:33:53.520 --> 2:33:56.160 in four years what they're going to be and drinks. 2:33:56.200 --> 2:33:58.879 A lot more third and fourth rounders who end up 2:33:58.920 --> 2:33:59.560 really good. 2:33:59.480 --> 2:34:01.960 Because like they were eighteen and they really grew in 2:34:02.000 --> 2:34:04.840 the next few years, not grew physically, but as a player. 2:34:05.280 --> 2:34:06.959 So I would say, like, you get drafted, and even 2:34:07.000 --> 2:34:09.800 if you don't in hockey, it's it's not over football. 2:34:09.800 --> 2:34:11.440 If you're not drafted, it's going to be hard. I 2:34:11.640 --> 2:34:15.200 sense really, but but I mean it's not that common. 2:34:15.680 --> 2:34:18.040 I feel like if you if you don't get drafted football, 2:34:18.040 --> 2:34:19.920 to end up making it in the NFL for many years, 2:34:20.080 --> 2:34:23.760 it is hard, right, So hockey hockey it's a beast. 2:34:24.040 --> 2:34:27.320 It's not as easy. But you know, you get drafted 2:34:27.400 --> 2:34:28.680 or you don't, and then you go and you're going 2:34:28.720 --> 2:34:32.120 to play junior college after that. Most everyone plays in 2:34:32.120 --> 2:34:33.600 the HL for a little bit. A lot of guys 2:34:33.640 --> 2:34:35.840 even start in the coast more and more. You're seeing 2:34:35.879 --> 2:34:37.520 guys start in the East Coast Hockey League making it 2:34:37.600 --> 2:34:39.680 to the NHL because the league's getting better and better, 2:34:40.200 --> 2:34:42.000 and then you work your way up, you get your 2:34:42.040 --> 2:34:45.120 shot in the NHL and that's it. But the problem 2:34:45.160 --> 2:34:48.360 with NHL now is or not now. But I mean, 2:34:48.400 --> 2:34:51.320 you're a young kid, and you know, you're fifteen, sixteen 2:34:51.360 --> 2:34:53.080 years old. If you're not a high pick in the OHL, 2:34:53.120 --> 2:34:55.640 which is junior hockey, there's OHL Quebec League and the 2:34:55.760 --> 2:34:59.520 WHL for Canada. Then there's NCAA for America, and kids 2:34:59.560 --> 2:35:01.199 from Canada I can play in CAA. 2:35:00.840 --> 2:35:01.480 And vice versa. 2:35:01.840 --> 2:35:04.080 But a lot of those kids, like you know, they 2:35:04.160 --> 2:35:05.920 get down it's like, oh, I wasn't a first round 2:35:05.920 --> 2:35:08.640 pick in the OHL. It's like, dude, you're fifteen years old, 2:35:08.760 --> 2:35:11.800 Like it doesn't really matter. So I think in the NHL, 2:35:11.879 --> 2:35:14.480 though you get to the first round, it means a lot. 2:35:14.760 --> 2:35:16.640 You can end up making more with your signing bonus. 2:35:16.720 --> 2:35:17.200 Not that much. 2:35:17.240 --> 2:35:19.560 They really change the signing bonus and the money you 2:35:19.640 --> 2:35:23.520 can make, but you get more chances being a high pick. 2:35:23.600 --> 2:35:25.640 It's like the NFL, right, like you're a high pick, 2:35:25.680 --> 2:35:27.959 you're gonna get more lives like a cat, and then 2:35:28.000 --> 2:35:29.800 if you're a low pick, it's like, if you fuck up, 2:35:29.800 --> 2:35:32.520 you're kind of screwed. So the levels of hockey, though, 2:35:32.560 --> 2:35:35.680 it's just changing with how watered down, like different leagues 2:35:35.720 --> 2:35:39.360 are in the US harder Now it's more confusing on 2:35:39.440 --> 2:35:41.360 where to play if you're a young kid. When I 2:35:41.480 --> 2:35:42.800 was young, it was like, all right, go to one 2:35:42.840 --> 2:35:45.160 of these high schools, then go to college. Now it's 2:35:45.200 --> 2:35:48.080 like junior league here, junior league in Midwest. There's a 2:35:48.160 --> 2:35:49.960 Canadian league. It's just harder to choose. 2:35:50.080 --> 2:35:53.240 But it's still like if you're good enough, to tell 2:35:53.280 --> 2:35:55.440 every kid, if you're good enough, dude. 2:35:55.240 --> 2:35:58.560 You're gonna make it. What's the best route, we'll find you. 2:35:59.480 --> 2:36:02.600 I personally think college is the best route. And Mark Reki, 2:36:03.360 --> 2:36:04.600 he's an NHL Hall of Famer. 2:36:04.800 --> 2:36:07.360 You leave after one year in college, you can yep, 2:36:07.440 --> 2:36:09.160 you can leave after you can leave it for one year, 2:36:09.480 --> 2:36:12.360 and you've already been drafted before you go to college. 2:36:12.400 --> 2:36:14.640 Some kids, because their birth year will be like drafted 2:36:14.680 --> 2:36:15.600 after freshman year. 2:36:15.959 --> 2:36:19.280 But for the most part, I talk to guys who 2:36:19.320 --> 2:36:21.760 played junior it's great, but you're living with billet families 2:36:21.879 --> 2:36:24.360 and you're busting long ass bus rides, especially in the 2:36:24.400 --> 2:36:26.600 western part of Canada. Like, you know, you got eighteen 2:36:26.640 --> 2:36:30.120 hour bus rides. College, Like you're living in a dorm 2:36:30.200 --> 2:36:30.680 with girls. 2:36:31.360 --> 2:36:32.439 You're playing unreal. 2:36:32.240 --> 2:36:34.760 You're playing unreal hockey. You're playing against older guys too. 2:36:34.840 --> 2:36:37.119 You know, college has twenty twenty two year old players. 2:36:37.160 --> 2:36:40.000 So if my my kids like hockey and they're any 2:36:40.040 --> 2:36:42.040 good and they have a chance to play college hockey 2:36:42.160 --> 2:36:44.000 or play junior I'm gonnay go play college. 2:36:44.520 --> 2:36:46.800 And I left school early. I actually promised my parents 2:36:46.840 --> 2:36:48.080 i'd graduate and I haven't. 2:36:48.120 --> 2:36:50.120 I got to go do that. I fucking have to 2:36:50.160 --> 2:36:52.760 do that. I promise that school college. I left this 2:36:52.840 --> 2:36:55.600 for my junior year, and I'm like, well, now I 2:36:55.680 --> 2:36:59.440 have a degree, all this money, I'm already Unfortunately I do. Yeah, dude, 2:36:59.520 --> 2:36:59.959 you went back. 2:37:00.080 --> 2:37:02.960 Unfortunately I do. No, dude, I were able to say 2:37:03.000 --> 2:37:04.040 I stayed for my fifth year. 2:37:04.200 --> 2:37:07.959 Michigan's a legit school. Yeah, fifteen school in the world. 2:37:08.600 --> 2:37:12.560 Crazy Billet family is like a like Foster care type thing. Yes, 2:37:12.640 --> 2:37:15.480 So wherever you go play, I mean it's a little different, 2:37:15.520 --> 2:37:16.040 you know what I'm saying. 2:37:16.080 --> 2:37:17.840 You go to like you go to like a family 2:37:17.879 --> 2:37:20.960 who stays with you. Yeah, host family, Okay, family's in 2:37:21.000 --> 2:37:22.960 the city you play in that will take in kids 2:37:23.080 --> 2:37:25.680 and it's funny. One guy, one guy, I won't say 2:37:25.720 --> 2:37:29.840 his name. He ended up marrying his billet mom. 2:37:30.040 --> 2:37:31.600 She left. I won't say that again. 2:37:32.280 --> 2:37:36.640 Guy the guy's name, he billeted with a family. She 2:37:36.760 --> 2:37:38.640 had her husband and in the end she left him 2:37:39.240 --> 2:37:41.119 and him and her got married. What's his name, I'm 2:37:41.160 --> 2:37:41.560 not saying. 2:37:41.800 --> 2:37:44.720 And then there's another guy, another guy played another guy 2:37:44.720 --> 2:37:46.879 who played with another guy I played with who married 2:37:46.920 --> 2:37:49.120 his billet's sister.
