He's got He's got a line in one of his albums, Devil with outic calls he's like talking about you too old, a kid, too soft the rock, and I saw him like, yo, he's both those right now. But he's still he's a fucking badass. Still, Yeah, dude, kid rocks. The fucking man.

Did he introduce himself as Bobby to you?

Or Bob Bobby Bobby Robert.

He introduced himself to me as Bob.

But do you last name rocket?

Yo? What is his last name?

Already?

Did I remember? I grew up on a ranch in Cave Creek, Arizona, like like a thirteen acre like horse ranch. And I remember like I won this like stereo out of a raffle And the first the first CD I had was Devil Without a Cause by Kid Rock Dude, and I popped that thing in there.

I beat in my room just.

So anti everything but everything just like just I will not succumb to the man type of act. That was such a.

Skid dude in a nighttime you're searching the Pamela Anderson videos.

No, I had never seen. I never even you didn't really have internet. We had there was like a there's an office at the front of the ranch. We had office the front of the ranch, and there was one computer and it was my mom's work computer. And we didn't have internet. We didn't have internet in the in the house. So when I figured out this friend named Whalen and I figured out what porn was, he showed me like he was that friend. I had my first

Rouman, you got any good ones in.

The what's the first time you watched porn roman from Sweden?

Yeah? I don't know, probably same hates to be honest.

Yeah, same time.

How old is that? How old are you saying? I was about twelve or thirteen years old? That sounds about dude. I remember did your parents give you the talk about it? Like, did you never talk about porn?

No?

Never say still haven't they never talked to you about it?

Dude?

So my dad, here's what happened with me. My dad got like pissed off, and because you know, pop ups were happening, and you know, you're young, you don't you don't think that they know, but they know. And he's like, uh, will let me talk to you outside for a minute. I have no idea like what he's about to say? All right, hey dad, what's up? He's like, what is tits? And ask Lord dot com?

No he did not say to god.

Immediately, I'm thinking of the buddy you were talking about, I'm thinking of my friend. I'm like a son of a bitch, Trim Trim Montgomery. He was on the computer earlier and I was I was telling them to get off of it because I didn't, you know, Wyatt, I didn't want to hold your boy out sold. He was never allowed to come out the house again. What a terrible that when fear is happening. Yes, he's under the bus.

You guys got it.

Look at his phone right now.

That is crazy, dude, dude, Oh man, I got so many getting caught watching porn videos?

You did? Would you always have it on the previous channel like you have it on ESPN.

And that's the oldest trick in the book, The oldest trick in the book. I remember that. Fuck it, dude, it's our podcast. I said, I want the first time I like jerked off, like, dude, dude, but everyone, you guys all remember the first time you guys jerked off?

All right? Yeah, my left leg went shait.

Okay, don't even hard, so dude about thirteen Like so, like, by the way, the story I just told, like, didn't jerk off once. I'm just staring at it, dude, like literally twelve hours of my day, I'm just watching porn. Like I'm not even I'm like, yeah, it seems like something's going on down there. But okay, yeah, like so sexually frustrated ude, run around like punching other kids whatever.

Babies are made.

Right.

So I'm like lost, and I heard these kids. I'm yeah, jerked off last night? Yeah, get do get that? Like they were talking about all that stuff all the time. I'm like yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you're time this week like all that kads. I'm like yo, and I'm gon'ma sit like two rows a firm. I'm like, yo, my mind is blown dude. I'm like, my mind is blowing up. I'm like, holy shit, you can do it yourself. You can't do it yourself. So I rip over to

You're distraught about the first time it happens. You're like, what, Yeah, what did I just do? Clean this up now, dude, I have some funny stories, man. We can do it. We can rattle that off onother podcast.

I want to hear your story. Go ahead.

We got wrong, We got wrong.

Yeah, he wants to hear it. But rom, hey, you better think of yours to because we're coming to your.

Next You got you gotta think of yours.

Gotta have something.

So I uh, he's kind of the same.

Dude.

His coach gonna get pissed. I'm sitting there figuring out, Okay, my buddies told me this is how I do it, So I'm gonna get you know, I'm gonna have your buddies. Yeah, my buddies. Yeah, my buddy. So sitting in the bathroom, run the shower, obviously, take a shower, get out the lotion, make a little scene about it. Start, you know, going to work. Boys starts going to work pretty quick, and obviously you know it doesn't It doesn't like long for

This one's.

I thought I was about to a and then I just started pissing. Oh no, that wasn't it.

That wasn't that wasn't it.

That wasn't try it's start going. That's when I started burning the shampoo. And that's why. That's when you knew soap was just off limits. After that point, I used to do some weird ship though back in my day.

Man like, yeah, I feel like when you're that young of an age, you'll try anything.

You're just an animal.

Yeah, oh dude, no question, You'll go dude, and you'll just look at stuff. I remember being like eight and looking at a shoe box and the little hole in the shoe box being like I could that could be a sat like I'm like in my head like that could be something like I don't.

Know, or I don't know, just a pillow laying there helplessly like there is stuffed animal, like, oh, you're in to dude, I'm teering up man, dude, So who you got taken this thing? In game seven? Now, obviously by the time this releases, it's gonna be over, like the Skis are going to be decided. What, oh ship Game seven tomorrow.

I think Boston honestly, yeah, I think Boston's going to win. They just have so much experience with Game sevens and bunds of guys have been there.

How much strategy is involved in like how much strategy plays into hockey because we're talking about one game in a seven game series, Like, dude, if we play seven game series, there would be so much frustration because it's such a strategic game and football like game preparation everything on, like being on your p's and q's, Like I don't know what you guys look at, but I know from a defensive perspective, like it's all like for what formations

It's a lot different in hockey. It's a it's a lot more instincts. There's obviously some strategy, there's systems and stuff. Funny, you try to trust the other team, but honestly, like once you're out there, you're just playing like you you know the system because you play it all year, and

Yeah, we have a meeting over evenings, like.

We have a yeah, oh yeah we don't.

We we have like on game days we have a maybe half an hour meeting and that's about it. Like we we meet about the other team and it's pretty much half an hour, not even sometimes.

And then you sharpen your skill you're like your skills up and I had to work on this, I work on that. Yeah, that's crazy. I can't imagine playing as many games you guys, how many we played eighty two? Eighty two? Yeah, how much?

How much? How much lams in between each game? Two days normally, and you guys just have like a thirty minute meeting.

Yeah, well we have like we have meetings some on practice days and we just go over the game for like twenty minutes just played.

Yeah, that's gonna be so much more fun than like football. Like football, you're like, okay, boys, like the Monday meeting, Kay, we played awesome or we played shitty and we had to work on this. Tuesdays off, Wednesday practice, Thursday practice, Friday practice, Saturday walk.

And you guys are there from what we're eight to five every day.

It's like it for us, it's really like seven seven to five. Yeah, and like there's so much taking here. Your body are banging all time. Yeah, like we got a hit, I mean fun, but you guys hit all time too, we do. But field like April May, how's that feeling?

Honestly, it just depends on the games.

It's a it's not playoffs is playoffs is tough, like you get beat up in playoffs, but during the year it's it's I mean, there's guys who play a different way too.

There's guys who hit all the time.

Here's your here's your first train.

This should be an honor. Like every Bustle with the Boys podcast was always always a train that goes by. Dude, we just fight the adversity around here. But I'm sorry interrupt you go.

But yeah, there's just I mean, like I said, like on a on a practice that we barely practice anymore. We just play games and then the next day we might practice, but we practice for half an hour with the rink for two and a half hours max. And then you can get to go home and relax. So it's it's a lot of games and not a lot of practice.

So you're you're days aren't very full.

No, we we get to rank it maybe like ten the day after a game and practice at twelve. Get out of there by one.

Jesus.

That was quite fun too, because, like he said, instinct like you're going to kill myself right now, dude, because for us, he's like a different Wednesdays. The focus is like first and second down Thursdays is what third down, third down Fridays, Red Days is red zone in some two minutes Saturdays. Like you put it all together through walkers and stuff like that.

If your first top ten plays or whatever, yeah, your top ten calls.

Well, it's impressive how many plays you guys have to know?

It's crazy.

It's dude, it is, but like you can do like it's just like any studdying anything like word association, like these these plays are all grouped together in a certain way. Like all these are all outside zones. A couple of nuances here inside zones. Okay, these are the unique pinpoll schemes or the like the taxis and everything like that. Yeah, that's the stuff that's crazy. But do you guys like have like defenses? They obviously you do, like power players, got to get the guy chilling down there.

We got systems like and and our systems are all like whoever, there's five guys on the ice, so there's the system is like for the five guys, Like we don't have like a defense and an offense. Obviously the defense plays a little different than the offensive players. But our city a team, make sure nous get behind our system. Is all team based, so it's like whatever we do, like like playing defense, our forwards have to play defense too. They they can't just play offense. Once we get the park,

What was your what was your process like getting to the league. Like my brother, My brother played juniors, he got drafted by Corpus Christi. It was like playing for Metro Moose and a bunch of stuff like that. And then my brother in law, he played juniors, play for like the the Colonna Rockets did. Yeah, he played for the Colona Rockets, who would shape wherever. He also played for them too, Right, So I kind of get it.

I could dangle, you could, Yeah, I was de I was.

Like, I was like, I was the most coordinated eight year old? How's that sound? And then we went to pee wee or whatever it is? And I got We went to like do a travel team and I got checked, I got hit I got de iced or de skated or whatever.

I was out of there.

I quit. I never got hit because I got hit. Now I get it. It's awful. I quit, dude. I quit football when I was younger too, for the same reason I got tackled. I was like, I'm out here done.

You don't like any hit?

I love it now. I don't mind it now, I know. I think. I think it's all relative. I don't mind. I think I like. I like hitting someone way more than getting that is not for them. But yeah, dude, when I was younger, I was a little bitch. I would like I got hit. I was like, fuck this, dude, I'm out of here. I don't want I want nothing to do with this, so I quit.

Well, hockey is different though. Hockey you can like kind of you guys don't get hit. Yeah, you do, but there's a couple of big hits once in a while. But there's also games where you like, depending on the situation, like you have to hit one a guy like every play, Like we don't have to do that. Like there's some place where you have to hit a guy or you get hit, but it's it's not as often.

So your process growing your process growing up.

Yeah, so I played. I played in Switzerland my whole life. I grew up in burn, Switzerland, not Sweden.

Yep, excuse me, Yeah, made that mistake before the podcast. Never do that again.

But yeah, I grew up there and played for my hometown team pretty much my whole life and played there till I was sixteen. Then then I turned pro in Switzerland, played for my hometown team.

Again sixteen years old.

You turned, well, seventeen was my first season.

Yeah, jesus, it happens young, like if you're not a hockey young like.

Yeah, but it's different over here. It's like like you said, like they played juniors over here and then you get drafted and then you make the NHL or go to the AHL.

But so when when you said it's different over here, you got juniors and then they get drafted, what age are they getting drafted to? The eighteen and you're pro at like sixteen seventeen over seventeen?

Yeah, but then I got drafted. I was eighteen too, and then once you drafted, you can play in the NHL. But I played, uh two more years after that in Switzerland and then I came over.

After getting drafted you played two more years in Switzerland? How did that work? How does that work?

It's is it similar to like like a go ahead?

I know, well, the leagues are good over there, like the European leagues. The hockey leagues are pretty good. I don't know if you know Austin Matthews played in he was the first oral pick. He played in Switzerland the year before before he got drafted. Because it's a really good league. It's fast and and you're playing against Man so it's they're all strong and it's a it's a really good league. So I for me, I was gonna

The difference between hockey and football is hockey get drafted at a high school or when you're eighteen seventeen, eighteen years old, and then you have the choice. You can go. You can go to the league right and then try to make a team or go down to their minor league teams. Or you can go to college and play. And if you go to college, you can only play one year and then you can go play NHL and football. You have to be three years removed from high school.

Yeah, And like NHL, it sounds like you can have more development, more of a developmental stage because in the NFL, like if you're not ready to go once you're ready, once you enter the draft, like you're not gonna there's only gonna be very few guys who are on a practice squad, Like I couldn't have been drafted by somebody and then played somewhere else for a year, so they can kind of I don't know better. Did that team

And then I came over and I played in Milwaukee for a year in the HL. So for me, it was like that's in hockey. It's it's pretty nice because you can, like you can play if you don't make it the NL, you can play in Europe and it's a pretty good league, or you can play in the AHL and the HL is good too, Like it was. It was great for me because I'm I came over from Switzerland and the game is a lot different over

And for me, playing Milwaukee from for one year was huge.

It's a wild And so you from Milwaukee went to the Predators. Yeah, and you've been here the whole time? Yeah, how has that been like when you're your first year? What was that like?

It was awesome?

Well, when I got drafted, I got drafted by Nashville, I was like, where's Nashville?

Like never so.

Yeah, and then I came my first year he was it was unreal, Like, to be honest, like everybody thinks hockey is only growing the last couple of years because he made it to the finalists. But even even my first year here, playing at Bridgestone was was unbelievable, Like it was loud, it was, it was wild. The fans, the fans are unreal. And obviously with making it to the finalists, we got the whole city kind of came behind us.

But that even before it was awesome, Like you guys are studs, dude.

The way you guys like I don't know. You guys got this energy about you. Like, well, the first off, all the fans are crazy, like they're they're unbelievable. They're all so cool. How everyone's so close, and like if you go and talk to somebody from Nashville, they have no idea what hockey even, like you know what I'm saying, But they they've educated them. Yeah, and they know like, hey, well the puck goes pestiblue line and everyone's got to go back to show for a second. Then they gotta

Yeah to me, I was like, I'm like, the guys you explained, like I didn't. Most I know about hockey is like playing it on the video game and just kind of learning and bandwagon rooting for freaking Alex Ovechkin being up and out in DC. So, dude, being hockey games or it's my favorite sport to watch live. I mean, the energy is like it's fast paced, like.

Dude, you get But Bridgestone is not a level too like Bridgetone. Yeah, it's like it's unreal, like have you played?

Have you played in Washington? And Bridgetown's better?

I think so, Okay, Washington's good too, but Bridgeton it's just it's a different atmosphere, like it's it's like a college game, like that chance and everything that that.

Doesn't have awesome. I haven't been to one yet Bridge, Oh you haven't.

No, I haven't been. When you haven't slept the catfish? I have watched the boy role play.

Given what a cat fish saped the catfish?

Catfish? Ain't that what you do?

You slap them? You slap them?

Do you you chucked from the fish? What you're talking about?

Go fish? The catfish with the term ironic on time.

Dude, that was the coolest thing ever. Well, no, we had like a we had like an already dead one in there. Oh really yeah, And like with that pond where we were out outside of the Titans facility, the whole facility used to be a dump, like there's like trash and I turned into a pond, and I guess there's like a rumor like they paid in off it's a linement like fifteen k to swim across the pond, and ain't it ain't no like basic swim, like you got to know your shit a little bit to get

It was like, I mean he played.

For the Fly but the Flyers Philip phil fly for a little bit. Yeah, and he's like a legend. Yeah, and so I was like, yeah, I was fired up about it. But this dude was started like, uh, he gets into it. And we were out at the pond. I'm like, hey, you should, uh just just know that that's some dirty water. Be careful. And he's like I appreciate that. And the guy's like, all right, here's we're gonna do. You're gonna get in the water and they

Then we were in the playoffs.

Finalist, wasn't it.

No, the I think the finals was the That was the loge thing we did. Do you guys watch that stuff?

Do you realize you guys the boys fire up?

They're just pounding beer that dude?

I had that for sure.

Do you guys really dude, because I was stay in my head, I'm like, yo, I gotta get these boys, like, you know, you gotta pump yourself up, give yourself a reason. I mean, I think it's so fired enough to pump you dudes up. And we're like, I remember, we're sitting back there and it's all the boys and they're like wives or girlfriends, and really it was like, a we want Marcus to be there, but Marcus is not the most outgoing guy in the world. So we'll bring the off to line and like as soon as I knew

And I'm like, let's go.

We're not gonna do that, like y be basic af Like let's get this thing going. It's like we're chugging. I'm gonna, we're gonna. I'm gonna hold this thing up. We're gonna, we're gonna slap the twenty four ounces and we're gonna put those things down, dude, as fast as we can. And they were kind of iffy about it. And then they bought in dude, and it just it.

Totally took off after Yeah, it kind of didn't remember we came to your game.

Dude, I was gonna bring that up.

They all brought catfish up, you guys.

Will I remember it was like it was right before you announced captain.

Right, yeah, the next season right after it.

Because yeah, what fish or not Fish and Weber were gone right or maybe fish before and so I remember, like you guys came out. I was kind of watching on you like put the sword down, and in my head, I'm like, Yo, that dude, he's gonna be captain. Like he's gonna for sure be captain. You guys already knew, didn't you know? You didn't know, you lion Cent didn't know. But I remember, like it was it like halftime or something like that.

It wasn't halftime, it was before the game.

It was it was before you guys up in the.

Yeah, it was like during the game. I think, Yeah, they all brought catfish up and we'll like get up, dude.

They did, they did. They display it on the screen.

They put it on the screen and they were all like holding the calf fish up and the boys were slamming, and I'm like, I'm gonna fucking run through. That's what I'm gonna do it for the boys right.

Here, That's what I'm saying.

I was so fired up.

That's what it is.

Though, How like how sick is it if we see like we see you guys yeah in our suite, like just find the boys up and we come to your game like it's the best, Like when you see our athletes there and like you appreciate like the boys coming out and.

Because you're like, oh, did you see that? I'm just thinking, bro, we were sitting on the I guess you guys already did, but if we were sitting on the on the bench and look up and the freaking hockey teams are pounding beer, like yeah, you're.

No doubt, no doubt. And then we did it again. Yeah, dude, I got me so fired up. I was so stoked to you guys did it because in my head, I'm like, yo, the boys, like we got a little thing going. That's pretty cool. And so we did it, like for the finals year, we did the catfish lose thing and like we like they they put the beers on top, and I'm like drowning literally that catfish was like I didn't drink one ounce of that beer, dude. I was just

Yeah, but well, the fights are kind of like the fights are more part of the game than aggression. Sometimes they're aggression, like sometimes you I guess like the guy who actually fight a lot, it's kind of part of the game.

They're trying to get the momentum for the for.

The team or the boys.

Yeah, yeah, they try to get the momentum, like you down, like you're fighting someone you win to.

Fight, it's like something everybody gets fired up.

And but but there's definitely fights from aggression. Like there's some some players who don't fight a lot. Sometimes they get into it with a guy and and you fight. But that's I mean, that's what's good about hockey, Like you can settle it right there.

Yeah, it's it's one against one.

It's all like it's it's not like both both guys have like a fair like the same the same rules and stuff, so they square the Yeah how's that stune?

Like you go to the box.

And yeah, there's implement it's pretty much sell that power.

Play stuff like that. Yeah, how is that coached? Like how is that in the room coach? Because like when we're coach, they're like not fight, not that guys want to score up and fight. Yes, yeah yeah, but you know what I mean, Like when you're guys are shoving after the play and basically can get a penalty. We go through situations where you know he's basically you'll walk away like you're not gonna fucking do anything here. Besides

Well, it depends, like you you normally know the guy. The guys who are fighting know when a good time is to fight. Yeah, And it's always like if you have a tough guy on the team, it's he's fighting another tough guy. Like he's not going to go after some guy who never fights. Yeah, so he's going after the other tough guy. And they're they're pretty much know

Too skilled to fight?

Fight?

You gotta keep him sharp, man, gotta keep him. Who's the who's the I hate that I don't know this to the predators, who's the one who fights?

Well, I would say Austin Watson, Cody McLeod last year Austin Watson Man. That guy was legendary, Brian McGrath, that's he used to be like really really tough.

Like, yeah, is there conversations on the bench like, hey man, we might need you to whoop somebody's ask to get this thing going like that.

Dude, if you guys have an opening, I would absolutely love.

Are you coming for? Is finding like happy Gilmour?

Well? Have you ever seen the documentary Ice Guardians?

No?

Have you seen it?

No?

It's unbelievable. It's about hockey like enforcers and how like literally they'd be sitting there like their only role like is the fight and then once once you get to the playoffs or games that matter, you're at hs. Yeah, you're you're healthy.

Scratch, that doesn't happen.

There's there's not many guys like that anymore, Like now everybody has to play like everybody, there's a lot of like tough guys like yeah, probably not documentary.

Those guys were like the cats.

Tom Wilson fights a lot.

Yeah, he's tough too.

Yeah he swings.

He's a really good player too.

Yeah. Is there ever like, uh, you know, I should funk with him because when you're at the games and in between whistles, that's when guys are kind of trying to off each other a little.

Bit, But it's almost like you like, guys know who's tough and who's not. So it's like if somebody if I go up to a tough.

Guy and go like he's gonna know, like okay, like you're not going to fight me, or like a.

Tough guy picks on you, not saying you're not tough, but so the tough guy the team, hey, hey, like you know, don't be a bitch like you want to fight somebody fight me? How did you?

How did your fight out? But how did your first fight go?

It was okay, actually did you Yeah? I don't know, it was it was more like wrestling match in the fight. I didn't get any punches in, but he didn't either.

Did you win the takedown? Did you win the takedown?

That's how your name would go. And you you were never a big fighter, Like do you get after the gym or anything like that?

What fighting in the gym?

No?

I mean you know what I'm saying, like, you know, you gotta get in the gym a little bit if you want to know.

But I was always I'm I was always kind of weak a little bit, you know, I was I was never a strong, never strong guy. So I just never and growing up in Europe. Fighting is not like it's more in North America than it is in Europe.

You're quick. You're probably just quick and like.

Yeah, well, dude, I get a lot of my my ship from videos like this. I'll watch it because my wife's from Canada. My brother. I've said the whole thing. I literally grew up like watching hockey and like football players like just say like rich like n word, I'll shoot you. That is little.

I've been told that I probably weak ass.

Yeah exactly. I'm like, okay, whoa a little aggressive. But like hockey players, dude, they say the fun they call people wagons, like hockey lingo is the best, dude. But they're like guys are wearing visors back and then they're like, hey, roll down your window before you talk to me, bud, like just saying stuff like that. Oh dude, it's so funny. But everyone wears a visor.

You gotta have to quick like to be you kinda have to be funny.

Yeah, I'm just like, well, I mean it's a second language too, right, English, Like you gotta like I'm sure you get some Russian guy out there. You're like, hey, what's up your pilon Guy's just like dah, Yeah, this guy doesn't want to talk at all.

You're somebody who probably thinks about it, not thinks about it, but you just kind of know.

What you're gonna I feel like, if you're gonna trip, you gotta have a couple in the back pocket.

That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't know, I'm just.

Too like she says something, you gotta have something.

You know, you got a couple of who chirps in.

The team Austin Watson.

Watson sounds like a boy.

PK is good too?

Way quick? And waity?

Yeah?

Did you say something good? One pussy? Who's this just fighting?

That's Watson?

So yeah, this is Austin Watson fighting and it's a video. They go to the box and they start hanging out like or they start having a good conversation and there the words.

Come up on the screen.

Dude, it's the best.

Water, buddy, he was, we gotta work on our cardio this summer. I'm dying after like ten seconds. Man, that's so funny, dude.

They were really going at it though. They were kind of.

Like they know, it's kind of like it's it's just a fight, and it's it's not like I'm sure there's aggression sometimes, like sometimes you get into it, but a lot of times they fight to get the momentum and stuff, and I remember then it's it's not after the fight.

Sorry, oops on me. Oops.

No, I was just gonna say too, it's like part of the culture to protect your like you're like you guys, yeah, like I heard, uh what we were talking. Wayne Gretzky was talking about his enforcer, that mixed sorly guy, and he's like, I wouldn't have been Gretzky without this guy. You know, he protected me on the ice the whole time.

No, it's that's what it is, like you like they protect the star players, like they make sure everything everything is like in order. Like guys don't like do any cheap shots on on the star players. And I mean, I have so much respect for those guys. It's it's I mean, they're tough, and you're out there on the ice and you see them fight, You're like, wow.

Dude, there's there's such a respect factor in hockey that I appreciate so much. Like I love it when guys will skate up on the goalie ica goal a little bit and you guys are just on them, doesn't matter how big the dude is. You guys just take care of your boys quarterback that they hit the quarterback or quarter everyone's around them, dude. You gotta look out for the boys, dude. That's that's one thing. Dude. This is a long bus. That's one thing you gotta uh yeah,

They were coming, Yeah, they're growing at it for a couple of times, and.

A couple of big name guys to because he.

Said something about I don't know if you guys saw that about his like he p K said something that Crossby called him out that he brath. I don't know if he got up amen. Then they had like they were kind of going at it.

Oh ship, that was opposite it was.

BUTK is good. He gets like like I said, he's good at Yeah, how do you.

Not beat the ship out of that guy? For that? Dude?

You could be fucking tired, man, you're going hold him in a headlock?

Yeah, I'd be so mad if I was superann was he going? That was a tough series to watch, man. I was there for all those games, every game you guys had, Yeah, well all these final games for sure, because I got those the I got season tickets and I'm like two rows behind the bench. Every once in a while, we walk on. I know, we gotta give each other little nod, we move on.

I remember a picture you posted a butt when you're standing behind Phil and you were staying like this.

Oh yeah, just like just staring at Phil.

Yeah, dude, he's he good, dude, Yes, yeah, he's awesome.

That's a couple of years ago. Dude. I didn't make it to one game this year. I know, I know I'm a bastard, but I should have definitely made it. Tartbreak Will haven't got one.

Yeah we got I know, I want to.

Go to one.

Yeah, I love the hockey environment.

Do you make it to a lot of Titans games?

I tried to at least once or twice a year this year. No, I didn't.

I didn't last year year actually, but we tried to. But it's tough for our schedule because you guys play what eight home games, so sometimes are on the road or like we play Saturday night.

But I love watching you guys play. It's awesome.

Yeah, I mean I want to come to a couple more if if you have a chance, for sure, do you ever need tickets.

You let me know. I got you are you? Do you understand the game?

I do?

Did you know where you came over here?

I did not? Actually, well, we we used. We used to watch the super Bowl in Switzerland.

It's like a thing to watch the super Bowl there, like three am, perfect time. We would only watch the super Bowl. We didn't see any other games. And then I came over and like I said, I played in Milwaukee, and that year playing Milwaukee, green Bay won the Super Bowl, which is pretty cool.

Yeah.

Yeah, so yeah, I started watching football more and more, and yeah, I'm pretty I don't know all the rules, but I would say I'm pretty good at it now.

Dude, that's awesome.

Yeah, it's fun to watch. I love it. It's called ret Zone on Sunday. It's just really Yeah, it's.

A relatively easy game to watch. Like you understand the concept pretty fast. Yeah, it doesn't take very long to learn hockey is It's definitely tough to pick up, like when when you're icing, like it takes a while. Why is it Why is the ref.

Just blowing it dead? Yeah?

And then there's so many lines involve I feel like it's kind of like soccer, but I don't even understand.

The credit soccer ball, but it took me a while.

I don't really know soccer. I know hockey decent, but like I wouldn't know how to play.

But football is hard for like for me to understand like all the plays at different plays and like and why you run the ball right now or why you're throwing it and then yeah, that took me a while too.

Like he's watching somebody, he's watching us run it on like third long. We're like, you know, backed up or trying to just get better when we run do it. Yeah, you have a fantasy team? Do you play fantasy? Yeah?

Yeah, I played the last year. For the first time, you play the.

Offensive line or no, No, there's no offensive liment in fantasy football.

Did you have anybody from the Titans on your team? No?

I have Mariota a yeah.

Have you met him?

No, it's an awesome guy, dude, I've heard.

We got it. Like that's the thing I love, Like that little community has got going. We got going on, like the Prads and the Titans. I feel like we got a little something.

I know. I agree. Yeah, it's awesome.

I was talking to we're talking to Butch who was a guest. We haven't really state yet or maybe we have at this time. We're all over the place. But I was talking to him about doing like a softball game like Predators versus Titans, and then I know, like Caleb is really close to you guys, and so like do you like Kings of Leon like to on your side? And then I'm close to Jared so too, and that's that as captain's and we do like a do a

The Europeans.

No, there's no way we played. I think it'd be I think it'd be a close game because because football players ego everywhere due we would trying to go yard every time, No doubt that is over. But you guys, like I've seen like dudes take the stick and like just bake it in.

But I don't know we played. We played.

We played a baseball game at Bandy this year at the beginning of the year and we played the europe against North America and we got no chance.

Like it was baseball.

Oh, you guys played a base.

But like not ripping it. It was more like a home run derby kind of like the coach was as, do you.

Get some kegs there?

I think, dude, that's what we gotta do, is gottas. I think it'd be awesome. But what's a good time for you guys?

Probably well, probably guys, well guys are not in town. Guys don't get into like end of August.

But terrible for we would never be able to do it.

But if you guys, like, do you guys, do you guys right away right after the seasons over?

Yeah, like most guys leave like a week after.

What we should do is feeling out, Like if you guys are doing really well and we know, like hey, like they got a chance, then we should do it like around this time. You know what I'm saying, because all the football players are in right now, Like we're all here, and you get enough guys to come back, nine to ten of your guys, like, we're all.

So much fun.

It'd be so much fun. Because i'ven't spent a lot of time with you guys, but I've been around a couple of you guys, and you guys seem like good dudes. But hockey has always been a super tight community. At my house. Uh. In college, we we're on State Street and like Yost Arena was right across the streets. So the hockey boys were my next door neighbors, and like it'd be spring, Like it'd be like maytime. We all be hanging out and we play poop dollar. You ever play

Dude?

We would literally so like, well, you take a ship and then you like take a little bit of it out and you put it on a dollar, and then you go across the street and you put it face down, and then you and the boys a couple of thirds packs just hang out and wait for people to pick up the dollar. And that's and that's.

Poop dollar the hockey story.

Well play and the boys.

Yeah, so me and the hockey boys would just sit there, dude. It just be like literally me and all those guys and like a couple of the dudes from the tracking because I love the track guys in college, and we just we'd wait and we'd like hide under everything, and like some old man and his like granddaughter would be walking by, just enjoying their Saturday afternoon. And then old man we get super greedy. Dude, you get greedy, swipe it up, poop all over his head. So we'd start

Yeah, like, just get the cardboard out, we get the get the film crew out, play poop dollar. What do you think? I know you definitely played invisible rope?

Yeah, yeah, I played invisible rope.

Have you played in visible rope? Were like a car is coming up on like a stop sign, and like, say, me and Taylor out in the middle of the road, and you're like, by the stop Sidney, come and me and Taylor act like we're getting this rope set up, and we stand there and act like we're pulling on each end of the road, and the car comes to a complete stop. Well, I guess it's not a stop sign just in the middle of the road. Yeah, it wouldn't

I would just be shaking. Damn kids, what's that?

Don't they see that there's no rope?

No, but they all they see is two people like just pulling super hard.

Yeah yeah, and you're like pulling on each side and they just come to a stop and you drop the rope.

Hot got you Never did you guys anything in Switzerland? Did you guys have anything any games like that? Any ding dunk, ditch ditch? That's it?

What do you call it? Over there? What do you really call it?

What do we call it?

The day that's the one you go? What do you good?

King? Yeah, I would say so. I was.

I was always kind of like I knew when there was time to stop. Like so my mom always told me, like she like I never got in trouble because I always knew like when to stop.

But I don't know, you'd be a class clown. I guess it was time to stop being a class clown.

Till I knew I was gonna get in trouble. I was like, Okay, I'm gonna stop.

He's definitely probably good.

Dude, is the best, the nicest guy in the world.

Didn't get in too much trouble.

I was just gonna ask the difference between uh, like the transition from Barry trot to uh, you know love love you lit yeah and what like, how how are they different coaches?

Well, I don't know. Trotzi was my first coach. He was, I mean, he was awesome for me.

He's I don't know if he ever met Trotzi, no, but he's he was like the best guy ever. Like, he was awesome and he was a he was a great coach too, he was I I only had him for two years, I think, and he was awesome and I mean he was in Washington they won the Cup. Yeah, and he's a great coach. He's been in the league for so long. And I think there's a lot of similarities. I think Lav's more. He's he's really intense. He's he's great with pregame speeches. He gets the boys fired up,

What year did you come in the league?

That was twenty eleven, so.

You're part of the lockout?

Yeah?

How was that? What was that like?

Two years? Two years before the lockout?

Yeah, so you were a part you were in the I.

Played one year and then the lockout happened?

Right, What was it like going through the lockout?

Like? What was that?

What was that?

Yeah?

It was it was I mean I only played one year and I got to play in Europe after that, I played in I played in Switzerland, So you were able to went back to my hometown team and played in vern Yeah, which was which was really good for me. But there's there's a lot of guys who didn't play, so they just kind of worked out and skated on their own.

And for those guys it was it was long.

Like what was the big reason for the lockout? I forget was it getting like contracts guaranteed.

Or no, all our contracts are guaranteed. It was more at the shriffes between players and owners.

But your contracts were already guaranteed before the lockout. I got you, I got you. That's always interesting because you guys went into season with that stuff.

Yeah yeah, we we we messed half of the season and then we started in Channel and played forty eight games.

Yeah that's interesting.

Yeah, going through a lockout, Yeah, you get paid the same amount.

You don't get paid.

Well, I'm saying when you went back.

Oh no, no less.

Yeah that's a bummer.

Yeah, you get it.

It was.

It was for me.

It was tough because I only played one year in the league, so you just want to, like you just get into the leagues even to play play play, Yeah, and then there's a lockout.

But for me it was good.

I mean I got to go back home and play in the Swiss League, which was good for me.

But there's a lot of guys didn't play.

So you can go and play somewhere else while things are going on.

Yeah, that's awesome.

That's something that they're able to do that. If the NFL ever did, like guys are able to do that.

Well, you would. You also wouldn't want to because in the NFL the season is so short and the injury rate is so hot. True, you're sure gonna go get played for pennies on the dollar. You would get paid, Like I'm gonna play like an AFF or whatever Canada League or something like that. That's way different. I don't think I don't think football will ever get to that point where they have like a minor league like hockey

And you only have so much milea joe the tires anyway in the football career, like you, you get banged up a lot easier, soon er faster if you're playing amateur right out of so you've got a fifth year senior, it goes to an amateur league and plays like three years. Then he's like a twenty six years old trying to be trying to make the minimum be a rookie. Yeah, trying to be a rookie.

I'm twenty seven, like like I got in the league last year.

Yeah, and then what you have the average career anyways, only like three and a half years is the average career in the NFL. So it's like I.

Feel like that's just a lot of guys who play and then they can't play. Like they're really talented, but all of a sudden they don't play football anymore because there's no league for.

Them, Right, I think you talking about after three and a half years, Like let's.

Say they're playing in college and they don't make it the NFL, and then what do you do, Like you have to quit pretty much, right, Yeah.

Well, you can go different paths. Like there are leagues like the CFL, the Canadian Football League. Yeah, you can go to there's an arena football league like the XFL has been a thing and not been a thing about forty times.

They've always been trying these leagues.

They try a bunch of leagues for guys to get opportunities. There was a spring league this past year. It was like four weeks long.

And you would have thought it it was gonna potentially be something.

Yeah, and it just tanked springly. Be would probably be the best bet. Yeah, like something that's honestly like that. Oh yeah, go ahead, Well are you do you need that? Is that another phone call?

It's my it's a Redskins strength coach.

Oh is it weird? Flex?

Was gonna say it's chats.

That's a really weird thing to say.

Alright, who's chat Redskins strength coach? Weird Flex? What the fuck?

So?

I got a question if if you're done to go ahead, So I want to ask about like traveling. I mean, you're playing eighty two games a season, but more I want to look at the twenty sixteen Stanley Cup Playoffs

So that was that was tough.

You're right, I mean we I it's a four hour flight every day, and so we pretty much we played two games there. I think we won the first two, lost two at home, and then you play like you play every other day.

So the other day, so.

You play at home, you go to bed pretty late because I don't know how you guys, I can't sleep after games.

Well you guys played earlier, which is nice.

We played seven, so I can't sleep after games. So you go to bed late, get up, travel four hours to Anaheim, play the next day, fly back again four hours again. And then the second round we played San Jose.

Hey, and they only played five games the first round.

Yeah, and I remember we played game seven in Anaheim and the Islands were only playing their second round match, so.

We we were like the last first round match up to finish. So two days.

Later we played in San Jose. We didn't even go home after the M series playing San Jose and then went another seven games and that was that was hard. I mean, it's just I feel like traveling is just it's it's hard on your body, Like.

Dude, it is inflation being up on a plane. How how important or how serious is like the performance side recovery side for like you guys individually or how much of a priority does the team make that Like when you guys have a quick turn around, like are they in your face and in your ear about doing the right things.

To Yeah, yeah recover, Yeah, it's it's for us. It's all about recovery. Like that's why I said, like we don't practice much anymore, like even the coaches like it's all about the games. Like you can practice once in a while, but it's it's pretty easy. Like the the days we don't play, it's it's pretty much just to recover and work on some system stuff.

But ot on that.

It's especially like driving like that, it's huge like getting getting a lot of water and you getting a lot of sleep and all that stuff. And I mean it's it's probably the most important part in the playoffs is.

Your guys, do you do get your recovery through a lot of stuff at the facility or do you source a lot Do guys like kind of source people around Nashville or in cities they.

Go to both.

Yeah, we get it through the facility, but a lot of guys have have their own people for for massages or treatment then. But yeah, it's a little bit both.

I mean, you know Bobo, do you use Bobbo?

No, you don't know, you're Yeah, yeah, I used I used him one time.

But it's a it's a it's a preference. Yeah right, I mean getting stock all the times tough.

Yeah, I love the ivy stuff. I like that stuff. I got like trendmarks, definitely a heroin addict. You guys, you guys you can take when you talk about not sleeping that you take a lot of like pre workout and some uppers before the game. Yeah, the boys all about that.

Yeah, you got who's got the pre workout? Do you guys say that?

Yeah? I take some pre workout for sure.

Doing coffee before games.

Oh yeah, yeah, I smacked. So we would we hit Starbucks on the way to the stadium.

If we played it in noon, we'd go like what seven thirty in the morning. Yeah, we go to the facility already. Yeah. Well we go cold tub, hot tub, cold tub, hot tub, like contrasts for probably forty five minutes. Yeah, roll out a little bit and then stop at the Starbucks, get myself in ice with almond milk. There we go, no sugar.

And just bang some music on our way to the facility or going a little. Taylor got me on mess up because with the Redskins, our games are in d C, but we would are where we lived in our practice facility was like an hour away, so I never we never had access like that. We'd just be in the hotel before a game, even on home games. So Taylor got me on the bid of going in the facility like hours before. And it's a lovely dude playing for a team that's in town.

Like, I mean, what time, what time you guys have to be there?

It's usually it two hours before a game starts. So if it's at noon, you had to be in the stadium at ten.

Yeah, checked in, ready to go out of your clothes and ship changed.

We have like a little team meeting, and then you kind of go about your business, like I'll go on the field for a little bit. Kind I do a couple of things, make sure I feel good, go up and I don't usually and I I get ivy the night before with Bobo because you're just dude, I can't like, I can't imagine doing eighty six games and like just

The next game.

Make sure you feel good at the next game.

It's almost when you don't play for a couple of days, you you get tight because you get in the rhythm off playing every other day and you just keep playing.

That's what like people like bye weeks. I'm not, like, I don't know how I would actually feel about it, But if there was no bye week, it'd almost be easier for me because I could just I could just transition and like just because eventually, like you take enough hits, your legs get sore enough like it just kind of gets stagnant.

It's like plateaus and you're solid.

But I don't know. I mean, people might kill me for not wanting to buy a week. Get killed.

We just got a bye week like three years ago.

Yeah, a Star break too, you.

Know, but they started to have a bye week now, so you get either like three days off after the game or before.

So your guys is bye Week's a three day off the ing.

Yeah, three or four days.

Yeah, that's crazy.

Yeah, that's that's so much.

It's yeah, it's like with the also game it's like seven. It's like a week pretty much. But guys love it. It's like a little break and kind of breaking season a little bit.

Do the boys go out and go to Vegas after game?

We did?

Yeah, dude, Vegas will steal a soul. Dude.

What hotel do you guys stay in?

Uh?

Yeah, yeah will? Do you know who the Blago is?

Yeah? Yeah, I know where it is. You know.

I feel like, because like the Raiders are going to the Vegas dude, people are gonna lose some paychecks. Things are gonna go down. Vegas is a tough state. It's a place that will steal your soul. I'll spend I'll spend three days there, Like, dude, get me the fuck out of Vegas. Dude, unless you're winning, dude, Well, I mean yeah, but like sometimes you're just so hungover you're like, I I gotta go home when you guys get their whole entire life.

Do you guys get there the night before the game?

Well we don't, they don't have moved yet, but you.

Would get there the night before game.

Yeah, And guys, will you get there at like four o'clock. You can go out for a couple of hours and go gam what they want.

But you you know, like the coaches, everybody would be pretty up. You know, they'd probably be a little more strict.

A little more strict for sure. But like living there, like outside the ship, there's not a lot like in Vegas and like really is nothing.

Yeah, but James Neal played there last year and he said it was awesome. He loves it, Like there's so many nice neighborhoods and like he lift right on a golf course.

He said it was pretty nice.

Actually, you play a lot of golf. That's awesome.

I'm starting to Yeah, I started like two years ago, so now I'm terrible, but getting.

Lessons right now.

It's fun though, man, Just get out some beers, cigars, play some music. Yeah, not take it too serious.

I know, but it's hard not to take it serious. Yeah, what do you guys?

You No, I don't haven't. I haven't played here. I would play with I would play when I was on the Skins all the time, like in the off season around this time. But I mean, I'm not that good. I got my I got my own clubs and stuff, and you'll hit shots that keep you coming back. But I'm not like some scratch golf or anything like that.

No, I'm terrible.

It's fun though, I enjoy I like the colaraderie around the boys, and.

It's nice being outside for five or six hours. And for sure, just golf. You gotta we gotta get you into calf.

I say, I don't know, dude, like I have this weird thing like you'd come with us. I just remember, like I grew up poor and now I'm watching and I watch all those assholes part of country clubs.

I'm like, I don't want to be a part of that.

So I was at a country club a couple like a couple of years ago, and the guys like and the guys like, oh, you should be you should be a member. And I was like, can I just like this? And I was wearing like a T shirt and Jim Shorts goes, you gotta wear a collared shirt, you gotta wear khakis. I'm like, get me out of here, dude, I don't want to be a part of it. Golf. I had this stupid joke that like golf before I grew up. Yeah, I don't want to be in a

Yeah.

I don't even want to live on a golf course.

That'd be nice, though, I mean, you're gonna live on the company.

What's that?

I would love to live on a golf course, would you? Yeah?

I think it'd be there.

Where are you gonna live after you're done playing? Your wife she's she's.

A steady Yeah, it looks like Nasville?

No way. How do you feel? How your family feel about that?

My mom isn't happy about it, but she should just come over. I know, bring the squad over. They love it here, their family loves it here. But yeah, like I mean we met here and she loves Nashville.

I love Nashville. So we'll see.

But have you seen a lot of spots besides Milwaukee and Nashville, besides Milwaukee, the US, like you spent time and not just like flowing for games.

Yeah, not really. There's a lot of private.

Out there, man. I mean you're trying to get them ay not away where?

Yeah, you like golf Arizona, Arizona's got great golf. And then California. I love California.

Yeah, I mean your your your wedding.

Was a big sir, way better in the country.

Dude.
