[Roscoe]: Welcome, welcome back to Leafs Late Night. I know tomorrow night ended up being [Roscoe]: a week, but things happen. I guess I'll address that first. Mine and Beaner's [Roscoe]: Jobs take us on the road sometimes, and sometimes we go on vacations and things, [Roscoe]: and sometimes things knock us out at night. And it's been a little hard to get [Roscoe]: our schedules on the same flow. And I'm sorry, but we're here now and that's what
[Roscoe]: matters. You know, it's the summer. Not much has happened since last week. Anyway, [Roscoe]: there's just a couple little more things to talk about. So it's just more fun. [Roscoe]: It is September, though, which means we're ramping back up for preseason. That starts [Roscoe]: in like three weeks. [Suthy]: Mm-hmm. [Roscoe]: If you want to stay up to date on all that stuff, give us a follow on X slash
[Roscoe]: Twitter, on Instagram and on YouTube at inside the rink. If you want to catch the [Roscoe]: videos. Welcome welcome I am joined today by Dardee Broderr, Suddy and National [Roscoe]: Beanographic. [Suthy]: That's [Roscoe]: Ready to talk [Suthy]: it. [Roscoe]: about some stuff that's happened. We got some signings, we got a whole new league [Roscoe]: that appeared, we got like crazy stuff so and some fun games so without further ado [Roscoe]: let's do it.
[Roscoe]: Alrighty, and for anybody watching, I am drinking Landshark, the Margaritaville [Roscoe]: beer in honor of Jimmy Buffett who we lost. Man, legend. I always wanted to go [Roscoe]: to Margaritaville. It looks like so much fun. When I was on my road trip, we saw [Roscoe]: one that was being built opening soon, but something I've not yet experienced. Have [Roscoe]: you guys ever been? [Suthy]: No, [Biehner]: No. [Suthy]: I haven't. I don't think I've ever even seen one.
[Roscoe]: I think it might only be in the States and maybe Niagara Falls. Like it's one of those [Roscoe]: things like a rainforest cafe. There's not many of them. [Suthy]: Yeah. [Roscoe]: But alas, Jimmy Buffett, another legend. Also, we lost Steve Harwell from Smash Mouth. [Roscoe]: Man, it's the summer of losing musicians. Sad. [Suthy]: That was a bummer. [Roscoe]: Yeah, go and put All-Star on repeat or watch Shrek and you know, pay respects.
[Roscoe]: So some hockey stuff happened. But before we get into that, we have a question [Roscoe]: that's been looming. It's been from Steph and from Mikey D. How is everybody's [Roscoe]: summer? And that's more appropriate now that it is past Labor Day and summer is [Roscoe]: officially over, even though I don't know about where y'all live, but it is 38 degrees [Roscoe]: every day for the last couple of days. It is stupid. But it's not summer. So let's
[Roscoe]: start with Sathy. How's your summer been? [Suthy]: summer's been good. I've had an unusual amount of time to myself due to a couple of [Suthy]: unions being on strike [Roscoe]: Nah, [Suthy]: in [Roscoe]: just [Suthy]: the [Roscoe]: a [Suthy]: world [Roscoe]: few. [Suthy]: I work. Yeah, so this is the first summer I think I've had in a long time where [Suthy]: I've had more time off than I've been working. Got to spend a ton of time at the
[Suthy]: cottage, whole bunch of weddings. All in all I'd say 8 out of 10 summer. [Roscoe]: Nice, love to hear that. Dardy, it's been a while. What about you, buddy? [Roscoe]: Is he there? He's there, but will he unmute? I can't tell and I can't see him. [Roscoe]: Dardie unmute [Suthy]: Welcome. [Roscoe]: yourself. Tell us how your summer was. You have three seconds. [Suthy]: Welcome back, [Roscoe]: Justin, [Suthy]: Dirty. [Roscoe]: how was your summer?
[Biehner]: So in Dardie's defense, he has a dad now, so you [Suthy]: Yeah [Biehner]: instantly do dad things. You don't have to have been a dad for a long time. So [Biehner]: he's probably still talking right now, just forgot to unmute it. [Roscoe]: He [Biehner]: It's... [Roscoe]: is out for a run right now. It's not like he's sitting at home and running to do [Roscoe]: dad things. [Biehner]: It's been a summer. It's been good. There's been a lot going on work-wise, family-wise.
[Biehner]: The reason our show didn't happen last week, I was up in the Caluet again. For [Biehner]: those who don't know, that is the northernmost capital city of any of the territories [Biehner]: of Canada, up in the Arctic Circle. [Roscoe]: literally national beanographic. I swear I'm gonna finish that shirt and get it [Roscoe]: up on store. [Biehner]: And anybody that's watching, that's the hat that I'm wearing. It's from a local [Biehner]: brewery up there, which is just wicked.
[Suthy]: Nice. [Roscoe]: Do they use iceberg water? [Biehner]: um I have [Suthy]: GAH [Biehner]: I honestly have no idea I didn't [Roscoe]: There was [Biehner]: get [Roscoe]: one of [Biehner]: that [Roscoe]: those when I was in Newfoundland that had a very similar logo. [Biehner]: Interesting. Um, but yeah, I did the math that since May 1st, I've had 22 nights [Biehner]: in a hotel for work. So I've been [Roscoe]: Holy [Biehner]: literally everywhere [Suthy]: Woo.
[Roscoe]: And some of those hotels have had great Wi-Fi and allowed us to do shows and [Roscoe]: some of them haven't and that's kind of [Biehner]: Hahaha [Suthy]: So roll [Roscoe]: Oh [Suthy]: the [Roscoe]: and [Suthy]: dice. [Roscoe]: And there was no internet at the airport there, which is crazy [Biehner]: Okay, can I vent for a little bit here? [Roscoe]: Of course. [Biehner]: So the whole trip, I went up there last October and it, it was an eye opening
[Biehner]: experience, but travel wise, everything was fine. Flights were fine. No delays, nothing. [Biehner]: This entire trip, the flight from Toronto to Ottawa was delayed to the point [Biehner]: that I was the only one of like 11 people that made my connection. Um, [Roscoe]: Huh.
[Biehner]: so then the flight from Ottawa to a Cali was delayed on the way back. Not only [Biehner]: was the flight from a Cali to Ottawa delayed and the other flight delayed multiple [Biehner]: gate changes, like just a nightmare, but they were doing some infrastructure work [Biehner]: on water in the city of a Cali. And like, this is a capital city. It's not some [Biehner]: small town. It is the biggest city in the territory. [Roscoe]: I mean, it can [Biehner]: And, [Roscoe]: be both.
[Biehner]: well, yes, [Suthy]: Easy. [Biehner]: they shut water, the water supply off the entire city all day. So, [Suthy]: That's... [Biehner]: like, when I left the hotel in the morning, the water was shut off. I got to the [Biehner]: airport. There wasn't a single bathroom open. anywhere [Roscoe]: Oh, dear. [Biehner]: in the airport and were there all day. Like it was just, the whole day was just [Biehner]: surreal. It's just crazy.
[Roscoe]: It's always traveling that can just turn into a nightmare when you're at the whim [Roscoe]: of business just Corporations control your every move for the day. It's so much fun [Suthy]: Yeah. For those who don't know, like, flying in Canada is one of the best experiences [Suthy]: you'll ever have. It's always such a great time and in a timely [Roscoe]: Especially Air [Suthy]: fashion, [Roscoe]: Canada. [Suthy]: too. Fuck.
[Roscoe]: I just saw a come up on my Instagram feed. Apparently there was somebody who refused [Roscoe]: to sit in a vomit covered seat on Air Canada and Air Canada kicked them off and [Roscoe]: threatened them with a no fly list after they like tried to cover it with coffee [Roscoe]: grinds and perfume or something like. Oh [Suthy]: They did [Roscoe]: my [Suthy]: say [Roscoe]: favorite [Suthy]: they were [Roscoe]: one [Suthy]: sorry [Roscoe]: was. [Suthy]: though.
[Roscoe]: Oh of course they did. They have to. They're a Canada. My favorite one was while [Roscoe]: somebody from Air Canada was talking about what they're gonna do to fix all the [Roscoe]: delays and cancellations The camera guy like pans up to the board [Suthy]: Yeah. [Roscoe]: of all the flights that shows them all delayed like while she's talking so [Suthy]: That guy's a [Roscoe]: gold [Suthy]: hero. [Roscoe]: Okay last one dirty coming back to you because I see you now how is your summer
[Roscoe]: buddy? Oh By the way the population of a Cali what's like? 7700 people so it can [Roscoe]: be a capital and a small town [Roscoe]: Like, 7,700 people is like... I don't even... [Suthy]: That's a lot of people [Roscoe]: Almhunt? [Suthy]: that ought [Biehner]: It's. [Suthy]: to have water at one time, though. [Roscoe]: It is a lot of people do not have water, and there's also probably communities [Roscoe]: around, but yeah. Dardie, unmute yourself and tell us how your summer was.
[darty]: How's it [Roscoe]: areas. [darty]: going folks? [Roscoe]: Buddy! [Suthy]: There he is. [darty]: I'm in I'm in dad mode so I got a milk as much free time as I can so I'm on a walk [darty]: with one of my buddies right now. I'm Getting trying to burn off that 40 pounds that [darty]: I put on you know Being a dad [Roscoe]: Hellaboy.
[darty]: it's you know So yeah getting a walk in here on the podcast my summer was pretty [darty]: good just exploring except the ups and downs the peaks and valleys of fatherhood [darty]: and doing a little, what do you call it, vacationing, staycationing. I went to St. [darty]: John, New Brunswick. That was a lot of fun. I think, I don't know how you guys [darty]: feel about Ontario, but Dardie might be looking at moving out and heading out east.
[darty]: Out east looks not too bad, so, you know. [Roscoe]: Right [darty]: What [Roscoe]: on [darty]: does [Roscoe]: buddy. [darty]: it mean I won't rep the Leafs? [Roscoe]: Hey, I mean it's not like there's another team farther out there. [Biehner]: Full disclosure, my wife and I have had serious conversations about moving to Nova [Biehner]: Scotia. [Roscoe]: I mean, our houses still cheap out there too, because I know Newfoundland is like [Roscoe]: insane how cheap they are.
[Biehner]: It's still a hell of a lot cheaper than here. [Roscoe]: course. I've noticed it's starting to come down though, at least in the Ottawa [Roscoe]: area. I mean, stuff that was like a million is now down to, you know, 800 or [Roscoe]: 750 or something, which is a little more reasonable. It's still not a $750,000 [Roscoe]: house by any means, but it's not a million dollar house either. It's better than
[Roscoe]: Toronto. So just to finish this off and get into some hockey, my summer has been [Roscoe]: cool. I took some time off work, which as Sudi alluded to. Might not have been the [Roscoe]: best ideas. There's some strikes and stuff going on. So don't know when I'm thought [Roscoe]: I was new when I was going back, but maybe we'll have some more episodes the next [Roscoe]: couple of days than I expected. Um, otherwise went on a road trip, which I think
[Roscoe]: I talked about, went down to, um, New York city and to Boston. Sorry, leave fans. [Roscoe]: Boston's really cool city. Um, went through Rhode Island and Vermont and stuff, [Roscoe]: New Hampshire, whatever else is down there. I don't, I know that order was off, [Roscoe]: but you know, the story. Um, last Labor Day long weekend, we went to Plattsburgh, [Roscoe]: New York, where there's this, uh, if you ever get down there, this is the thing
[Roscoe]: we realized how close going down to New York is from here. I've never lived so [Roscoe]: close to a border, I guess. And I didn't realize how close Ottawa is, but in [Roscoe]: the same amount of time it takes me to get home to Coburg, I can go all the way
[Roscoe]: to somewhere in New York for the weekend. So we did that. If you get down there, check [Roscoe]: out something called Audible Chasm. It's like Basically, if the Grand Canyon was [Roscoe]: in a forest instead of the desert, and obviously not as massive as the Grand Canyon, [Roscoe]: but there's tons of trails and stuff, and you can take raft rides through it, which [Roscoe]: we didn't get to do, obviously. But if we had more time and found it before we
[Roscoe]: got there, maybe we'll do it next time. But yeah, some cool stuff. [Biehner]: Is that still part of the Appalachian Mountains up there, or is that too far north? [Roscoe]: It's like Adirondacks, [Biehner]: Okay. [Roscoe]: I think. And a weird thing, we kept seeing ads on restaurant signs for something [Roscoe]: called The Michigan. Like, we have a Michigan. I was like, OK, what's a Michigan [Roscoe]: in the context of food? I've never heard of this before. Apparently, it's a kind
[Roscoe]: of hot dog with a certain kind of sauce on it. And it's famous from Plattsburgh, [Roscoe]: New York, but it's called The Michigan. It was the most confusing fucking thing. Anyway, [Roscoe]: I picked up a bunch of. Liquid Death, which can't get up here in Canada. It's some [Roscoe]: really good sparkling water in a can. And now it's September. It's kind of it. So [Roscoe]: hockey things, I guess we could start with the PWHL because this is really cool.
[Roscoe]: We have been hearing a lot over the summer about, you know, this, oh, I guess over [Roscoe]: the last month or so, this league's happening and who's getting different teams. [Roscoe]: But now We've got some players signing contracts. So I've got here, it seems every [Roscoe]: team, but Minneapolis, I think, has. [Biehner]: Note Minnesota's announced three. [Roscoe]: Nope, Minnesota does. Ottawa, Toronto, Minnesota, Boston, and Montreal. Who's the
[Roscoe]: other one? New York. Hasn't announced any players. [Biehner]: Yep, they've got Alex Carpenter and Abby Rowe. [Roscoe]: Oh, since when? It's not on Elite Prospects as a confirmed transfer. [Biehner]: I was going to ask [Suthy]: We only have [Biehner]: if you [Suthy]: two. [Biehner]: were using... Yeah, they've only announced two so far.
[Roscoe]: Okay, [Suthy]: Okay. [Roscoe]: well, they're not only prospects, but I'm sure [Biehner]: So... [Roscoe]: there's not a ton of people updating this yet. [Biehner]: Yeah, so for everyone that doesn't know, what they're doing is they're allowing [Biehner]: each team to sign three, they're calling them foundation or foundational players. [Biehner]: And then they're going to have a draft on I believe it's September 18th to fill
[Biehner]: out the rest of the rosters. So like Boston has signed Hillary Knight, Megan Keller [Biehner]: and Aaron Frankel. Minnesota has signed Kendall Coyne-Scofield, Kelly Panic [Biehner]: and Lee Steckene. Some of- [Roscoe]: Stecklin? Yeah. [Biehner]: Yeah, some of these names I might be butchering, which I'm ashamed of myself. [Biehner]: Um, obviously Montreal has Marie-Philippe Poulin and her fiancee Laura Stacey. And then
[Biehner]: Anne-Renee DeBien is their goalie. New York, like we said, has Abby Roke and Alex [Biehner]: Carpenter. Ottawa has signed Emily Clark, Brianne Jenner and Emirates Meshmeier. [Biehner]: So those are three good starts for Ottawa. Maybe there will actually be a hockey [Biehner]: team in Ottawa this year. [Roscoe]: that plays [Suthy]: Ooh. [Roscoe]: downtown Ottawa, which is what I want to get to. [Suthy]: Yeah, that's exciting.
[Biehner]: And last but not least Toronto has signed Sarah Nurse, Renata Fast and Blair Turnbull. [Roscoe]: So I mean, right off the bat, it's names that people recognize from, you know, [Roscoe]: Olympics and World Cup hockey that have been highly popularized over the last [Roscoe]: couple of years. I think it's good for getting people excited about this. It's [Roscoe]: pretty accessible to the Northeast where you've got the most fans that are going
[Roscoe]: to get on board with this. I love that it's an original six. Like it's, I like [Roscoe]: what they're doing. I know there's some negatives to how this all went down and [Roscoe]: how, you know, six teams is not enough for how many players are available. And There's [Roscoe]: a lot we can get into there, but on the positive side, I think there's a chance [Roscoe]: here for this to do well. I mean, knock on wood, but I like what they've done
[Roscoe]: so far. Brian Burke is the head of their players union, which I think is a great [Roscoe]: move. Somebody that actually gives a shit about players and has time after time [Roscoe]: been on the right side of progress in hockey. So I think he's a great person to [Roscoe]: be fighting for their rights when these negotiations happen. We do not know how [Roscoe]: much these contracts are for yet. They have not voted on whether to make that
[Roscoe]: public or not. So we'll see if that happens, but I think they should, just for [Roscoe]: the sake of competitive wages. I mean, if Toronto and New York are paying a lot more [Roscoe]: than like Minnesota or like Ottawa are getting away with or something, you'd want [Roscoe]: to know about that. But I'm sure internally it would be known. Anyway, what I wanted to [Roscoe]: say, the Ottawa's team, which doesn't have a name yet. None of the teams have names
[Roscoe]: yet. I hope that comes out soon. But they're playing at the Lansdowne TD place, [Roscoe]: whatever it's called, where the Ottawa 67 play downtown, which is an extremely accessible [Roscoe]: arena. And so the I don't know about you, but we should go to some games. [Suthy]: Oh, we're going. I'm so [Roscoe]: It's [Suthy]: excited. [Roscoe]: so [Suthy]: It's [Roscoe]: easy.
[Suthy]: right in my backyard. I think it's going to be super fun. Like the inaugural season, [Suthy]: like you said, original six, it just has really good vibes all around about it right [Suthy]: now. So I think what we need to do now is hold up our end and go support this. [Roscoe]: Yeah, and I think it's awesome within the show that we've got people on either sides [Roscoe]: of Ontario. So like, you know, we can have I don't feel bad being a fan of the
[Roscoe]: Ottawa team here. Like, I'm not going to immediately [Suthy]: I'm out. [Roscoe]: go to Toronto because I'm a Leaf fan. So this is something that I'm going to get [Roscoe]: behind from its start. And we can have some little internal competition on it. [Roscoe]: It'll be fun. Like, I mean, Biner, are you looking towards obviously cheering [Roscoe]: for the Toronto team? [Biehner]: Um, [Roscoe]: Are you going [Biehner]: it's w- [Roscoe]: based on geography or what?
[Biehner]: I don't typically, like, it's weird because normally if I'm trying to choose a [Biehner]: team that I have no, like for NFL or Premier League, when I was choosing a team [Biehner]: it's, I wanted it to be a storied franchise, I wanted it to be a lot of history, [Biehner]: like, because I love that kind of stuff, right? So Manchester United and Green [Biehner]: Bay Packers, [Roscoe]: Yeah. [Biehner]: like you don't get [Suthy]: Yeah.
[Biehner]: much more historic than those two franchises in those two leagues. Um, so this [Biehner]: is kind of weird for me that it's a completely blank slate. I'm probably going [Biehner]: to naturally lean towards Toronto, but like, even just with these three, like [Biehner]: with the foundational players, every team's going to have a ton of skill on it. [Roscoe]: Well, yeah, I was going to say, I mean, it's cool that each of these teams has
[Roscoe]: a good slate to start with. Like everybody's got like it's a fair start, I guess I should [Roscoe]: say. Or everybody has star power and, you know, nobody's starting at the bottom. [Roscoe]: Like it's going to be good all around. Like you're not going to go wrong picking any [Roscoe]: team, whether it's the one that lives closest to you or not [Suthy]: Mm-hmm. [Roscoe]: lives, but plays closest to where you live or, you know, you just want to cheer
[Roscoe]: for some players you like. So. I don't know, I'm going for Ottawa though, because [Roscoe]: it's fun and Ottawa doesn't have that many teams that are worth cheering for. [Suthy]: Yeah, you're not wrong there. I think if it's in your city and it's a team you can [Suthy]: go and support as often as you can, then granted, like it is a unique experience
[Suthy]: to be able to pick a team with no history, whatever. You get such a clean slate on it, [Suthy]: but yeah, I'm gonna go with the hometown team. [Roscoe]: And I'm glad that everybody has a home arena. Like, I know in order to grow the [Roscoe]: game, they had to do these traveling tournaments, the Gillette, whoever was getting
[Roscoe]: behind it. But the fact that people can feel like it's really their hometown team [Roscoe]: instead of just slapping the name on it, but they'd never play in your city, [Suthy]: Mm-hmm. [Roscoe]: it really feels like this is something that Ottawa and Toronto and Montreal can really [Roscoe]: claim as like, this is our women's team now that we have, in a league that is [Roscoe]: set up in a similar way to the NHL. So. [Biehner]: Yeah, [Roscoe]: Exciting things.
[Biehner]: I do really like the fact that they did go with six and realistically, they're [Biehner]: all markets that should have no issues succeeding whatsoever. [Suthy]: 100%. [Biehner]: Minnesota is the most Canadian place outside of Canada. [Roscoe]: Yeah, it's farther north than Toronto is, isn't it? [Biehner]: Yeah, they're going to succeed. That's not going to be an issue. Boston, the Boston [Biehner]: Pride were a very good team there for a long time for women's hockey. We know
[Biehner]: Toronto's hockey crazy. Montreal's hockey crazy, especially you have someone like [Biehner]: Marie Philippe leading the team to start. [Suthy]: Yeah. [Biehner]: New York, even just the population there, they can support a gazillion teams. [Biehner]: And then the real question will be to see, and I'm not trying to put a dig because [Biehner]: you said you're going to cheer for them, but the real question will be to see [Biehner]: how Ottawa actually does.
[Roscoe]: I don't know for sure. [Biehner]: But [Roscoe]: One thing I [Biehner]: maybe [Roscoe]: just want [Biehner]: if they [Roscoe]: to show. [Biehner]: can come up with a half decent name instead of like the [Suthy]: Hehehe [Biehner]: red blacks or some shit like that. [Roscoe]: The Fury, Champion, every team we have sucks. Just for reference, if anybody [Roscoe]: hasn't looked at a map in a while, this is where St. Paul, Minneapolis is. It
[Roscoe]: is so much farther north than like where the majority of our listeners live. It's [Roscoe]: just south of Ottawa, but it is farther north than most of Southern Ontario. That's [Roscoe]: wild, same with Green Bay. [Roscoe]: There you go. Little geo lesson. Now I'm national beanographic. [darty]: Did you [Suthy]: I'm gonna go. [darty]: just pull a map up on the screen there, Roscoe? [Roscoe]: Um, [Suthy]: We [Roscoe]: yeah, [Suthy]: did.
[Roscoe]: I did. It's not the first time and it's not the- won't be the last time. I like [Roscoe]: maps, okay? [darty]: I'm waiting for [Suthy]: God. [darty]: this to be like one of those Excel presentations where it does a little like twist [darty]: and turns into a star. Wow. [Roscoe]: Oh, can we get an editor that I don't have? Can we put one of those in here? Pew. [Suthy]: Yeah.
[Roscoe]: Okay. So the next thing I wanted to talk about another fun thing. Big City Greens, [Roscoe]: which came on to my radar last year as the show that did the NHL crossover, where [Roscoe]: I think it was Washington and Rangers played a game that was completely animate, [Roscoe]: animated and overlaid with Big City Greens stuff. I don't know. I'd never heard [Roscoe]: of the show before. It's a kids show on Disney now. They released their list of
[Roscoe]: guest stars for their upcoming season. And there was one of them that caught the eye [Roscoe]: of Twitter, slash X. And nobody seemed to care about anybody else on the list. Brad [Roscoe]: Marchand, among a list of celebrities that are known for acting, Brad Marchand will [Roscoe]: be making his appearance on this season. So [Biehner]: Well, that [Roscoe]: I. [Biehner]: nose is so easy to animate.
[Roscoe]: Do you think he'll [Suthy]: I mean, [Roscoe]: be playing [Suthy]: he... [Roscoe]: himself? [Suthy]: Well, he is somewhat [Biehner]: Oh, probably. [Suthy]: of an actor [Roscoe]: Probably. [Suthy]: himself, so you'll do just fine. [Roscoe]: I think he's the perfect person to be like, I don't know if we can really call [Roscoe]: him the first, because isn't Sean Avery in like, every Christopher Nolan movie [Roscoe]: or something of the last couple?
[Suthy]: I [Biehner]: He's [Suthy]: think that [Biehner]: in... [Suthy]: is a thing actually. [Biehner]: Yeah, he's in Oppenheimer, apparently. [Roscoe]: Yeah, and he was in Tenet, I think, too. [Suthy]: Mm-hmm. [Biehner]: and he was in one recently that I watched. What the hell was it? [Roscoe]: Oh, and you know what? I know it's not an acting thing, but PK Subban was in Jackass [Roscoe]: forever. He was so good. [Suthy]: True. Yeah he was.
[Roscoe]: They were doing a cup test and they had PK taking slap shots at the guy's [Suthy]: Haha [Roscoe]: cup to see if he could take it. [Biehner]: He was in, he made an appearance in last one, laughing Canada as well. [Roscoe]: Yeah, I mean, PK is one of [Suthy]: What [Roscoe]: those [Suthy]: did [Roscoe]: people [Suthy]: I do? [Roscoe]: that's made his way into the screen world for sure, but this podcast too is really [Roscoe]: popular. [Biehner]: It was weird seeing his bare eyes.
[Roscoe]: So [Suthy]: Hahaha [Roscoe]: I guess. [darty]: Wait, who's bare ass did we see? I missed this. What's going on? [Biehner]: PK Subban. [darty]: Sorry, I saw Suddy turn in his chair for a second, so I thought maybe I missed something. [Biehner]: Hahaha! [Suthy]: No, no, no. [Roscoe]: Okay, so what [Suthy]: later. [Roscoe]: I want to know is with Brad Marshawn making his acting debut, who would you like
[Roscoe]: to see from the Leafs make theirs, whether it's animated or live action? Who do [Roscoe]: you think has the best shot at getting the call next? [Biehner]: Just for the sheer fact of secondhand embarrassment, Morgan Reilly. [Roscoe]: And what do you think Riley would be doing? [Biehner]: I have no idea about that Pizzaville commercial he did. I feel so embarrassed [Suthy]: Hahaha. [Biehner]: for him.
[Roscoe]: Yeah, we're not considering any of their commercials as acting, so [Suthy]: No. [Roscoe]: Ryan O'Reilly's thing doesn't count. [Suthy]: This was terrible. [Roscoe]: None of these commercials, they do count. [darty]: Who's [Biehner]: Fuck [darty]: Stanley? [Biehner]: him, he's not gonna be on TV, he wants to [Suthy]: Oh [Roscoe]: Dude, [Biehner]: go [Roscoe]: I [Biehner]: and [Roscoe]: love [Biehner]: live [Roscoe]: that [Biehner]: in obscurity.
[Roscoe]: commercial. I love that commercial, Darty, you have no idea. [Suthy]: You gotta think [Roscoe]: So. [Suthy]: Martyrs gotta be up there, right? Or maybe [Roscoe]: Yeah, [Suthy]: Willy? [Roscoe]: I think Marner would be good, but I don't know what he would play other than,
[Roscoe]: oh, you know what, he'd be good. In like one of those reality, I know he's married [Roscoe]: now, but one of those like reality dating shows like he looks like one of those [Roscoe]: guys that would like roll up on the beach and a little like short pink bathing [Suthy]: Hehehehehehe [Roscoe]: suit and just like, hey, how's it going, everybody, like a Mitch. [Suthy]: He's gonna be on The Bachelor in 10 years.
[Roscoe]: It's not acting, but like, I don't know. I could just see him being on one of [Roscoe]: those where he's like the guy that's just like the clown of the bunch. [Biehner]: See, I think Willie would be good at that too. You see the picture of him and [Biehner]: his brother on the beach from earlier? [Suthy]: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He just dresses great all the time and travels everywhere [Suthy]: with his brother.
[Roscoe]: Okay, Willy, I know this sounds, okay. This isn't because he's Swedish. It's because [Roscoe]: of the hair, but also because he's Swedish. But him in like a Viking show as like [Roscoe]: a guest star would be sick. Like, I mean, the one who really should do it is [Roscoe]: Eric Carlson because he looks like a fucking mustache [Biehner]: No, [Roscoe]: and everything. [Biehner]: Victor Hedman. [Roscoe]: Oh yeah, [Suthy]: Oh yeah, there you go.
[Roscoe]: Hedman, Hedman for sure. But for the leaves, I would say... [Roscoe]: John Tavares would be funny as like a receptionist somewhere, like just so deadpan [Roscoe]: and [Biehner]: I could [Roscoe]: like [Biehner]: see him being like a fill-in, like a supervisor or a temp or something in the [Biehner]: office. [Suthy]: Yeah. [Roscoe]: Yeah, something [Biehner]: Hahaha [Roscoe]: where he just gets to, like, they give him lines that are fucking hilarious and
[Roscoe]: he just delivers them with a straight face, because I know he won't break. Like, [Roscoe]: he'll just go out there and be like, all right, guys, so here's what we're doing [Roscoe]: today and just lead everyone through, like, the stupidest hockey training camp ever. [Roscoe]: Yeah. [Biehner]: Michael Scott 2.0
[Roscoe]: Yeah, he's the one. Oh, [darty]: What's [Roscoe]: he could like [darty]: that [Roscoe]: because [darty]: show with [Roscoe]: we [darty]: the four [Roscoe]: know that [darty]: guys [Roscoe]: Michael [darty]: who [Roscoe]: Scott was [darty]: prank [Roscoe]: good [darty]: each [Roscoe]: at. [darty]: other? [Roscoe]: Oh, prank patrol. [darty]: No, no, the... [Biehner]: P-P-Practical [darty]: Man, [Biehner]: jokers? [darty]: I've been watching... [Roscoe]: Impractical jokers, yeah.
[darty]: Impractical Jokers! I could see him being a replacement for one of the Impractical [darty]: Jokers. Like John Tavares. That'd be fucking hilarious. [Roscoe]: Well, remember Michael Scott was known for his skating abilities. If we like one day [Roscoe]: reveal that John [Biehner]: I'm [Roscoe]: Taveras [Biehner]: sorry.
[Roscoe]: was his skating coach, that would be so funny. It's like, yeah, you know, I went [Roscoe]: to an Islanders game one day and just bumped into John outside and asked him if he [Roscoe]: wanted to skate. Here we are. He's [darty]: Did you have [Roscoe]: like, yeah, [darty]: a [Roscoe]: Michael's [darty]: Willie [Roscoe]: a good [darty]: versus [Roscoe]: guy. [darty]: Paris Hilton? Blonde versus blonde. [Roscoe]: Oh my god.
[Roscoe]: Okay, so let me pull up my notes here again. So onto some more serious things. Two [Roscoe]: extensions happened. The first one being Austin Matthews. Oh, excusez-moi. [darty]: Yay! [Roscoe]: That was the ghost of Jimmy Buffett coming back. So Austin [darty]: I think that [Roscoe]: Matthews.
[darty]: was the ghost of General Tau [Roscoe]: Austin Matthews signs four years 53 million that's 13.25 per year followed by Sheldon [Roscoe]: Keefe signing for two more years at who knows and who cares how much because there's [Roscoe]: no cap there. What do we think of this Matthews contract? Dardee since you've [Roscoe]: been cast away in your run here what do you think of the Matthews extension?
[darty]: Okay, well first of all, I got to, I missed out on what I wanted to say because [darty]: we were referring to Brad Marshon and his, I guess, what is it, his TV [Roscoe]: Oh yeah. [darty]: debut. And what I wanted to say, which I can no longer eloquently put, was I guess [darty]: he's got to be prepping for his role in the live action Ratatouille, right? [darty]: What up? [Roscoe]: Where he plays Remy. Remy? Remy [darty]: the
[Roscoe]: is the mouse, right? Not the guy? I've been told I look like the other dude. [Roscoe]: The dude from [darty]: Linguini [Roscoe]: Ratatouille. [darty]: you definitely [Roscoe]: The human. [darty]: that is a hundred percent you do look like Linguini but So Austin [Roscoe]: Yeah, [darty]: Matthews [Roscoe]: I mean like, [darty]: was at thirteen point [Roscoe]: look [darty]: two [Roscoe]: at me. [darty]: five right if I'm not mistaken [Roscoe]: I'm fuckin' linguine.
[Suthy]: uh [darty]: fellas, that awesome Matthews, his contract right, [Biehner]: Yeah. [darty]: 13.25 at four years, correct me [Roscoe]: or [darty]: if [Roscoe]: T.25. [darty]: I'm wrong. [Biehner]: Yes. [darty]: Honestly, [Suthy]: Correct. [darty]: you know, what are they, was it not good, not great, but you know, not terrible? [darty]: I can't complain about that. Like you know, at the end of the day, like it is what
[darty]: it is. It's, it could have been, it could have been much worse and we get to keep [darty]: Poppy. So you know, for that, I'd like to put out a congratulatory yay. [Roscoe]: Oh, you know what? I haven't used that one in a while. Where's that? [Roscoe]: Yay. [Roscoe]: Oh, Sadi, 4 times 13.25. What was your feelings on this? [Suthy]: I feel good about it. I'm just happy they got it done before the season started.
[Suthy]: Honestly, I thought maybe he was actually going to try and sign for three years and just [Suthy]: keep maximizing his money after that. So the fourth year was nice to see. It's a [Suthy]: player empowerment time right now. He strikes me as like the LeBron James of the [Suthy]: league, right? This is what LeBron's been doing for years and years on his contracts [Suthy]: in the NBA. And in the term, whatever, obviously we want more years, but the money
[Suthy]: is pretty great, especially with the cap going up. throughout the length of this [Suthy]: contract, I think the last two years will be really good. So overall, pretty happy. [Roscoe]: Look, it's okay to be okay with him staying here and not caring about the money. [Roscoe]: Like we can just be happy for him making as much money as he wants, like as long [Roscoe]: as he stays here. I don't care if it's four years because he wants to then maximize
[Roscoe]: on the next one. As long as it's not to a point where it's like, and I mean with [Roscoe]: the Capcom app it shouldn't, but as long as it's not to a point where it's impacting [Roscoe]: what they can bring in elsewhere on the team or assigning somebody else, which [Roscoe]: maybe it is right now, but who knows, who cares? He stole [Suthy]: He could have [Roscoe]: a leaf. [Suthy]: got more [Roscoe]: That's [Suthy]: still. [Roscoe]: kind of exactly [Suthy]: If he asks [Roscoe]: right.
[Suthy]: for the max, he gets max. What are you going to do? [Roscoe]: Beaner, take it. [Biehner]: Like, first off, I want to start, I think we touched on this a little bit with [Biehner]: our attempted episode when I was in a Calumet. [Biehner]: With regards to the four years, be happy we still have him. I didn't honestly [Biehner]: think he was going anywhere, but you never know, it could have happened. Like, [Biehner]: since the start of last
[Suthy]: RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
[Biehner]: year to now, like everything's completely changed. Matthews doesn't know what the future [Biehner]: holds. He hasn't seen what Tree wants to do with the team. So even just looking at [Biehner]: it that way, I don't really blame him for not committing eight years. Yes, it [Biehner]: would have been awesome to have him commit for that long. He's still in the prime [Biehner]: of his career. We still get the majority of his prime. Like, relax. Plus, as you guys
[Biehner]: said, 13.25, that's not max. That's a smaller cap percentage than when Ovechkin [Biehner]: signed his big deal coming out of entry level. [Roscoe]: Interesting, I didn't know that little tidbit. [Biehner]: Like when Ovechkin signed his deal coming out of entry level, it was for $9.538 [Biehner]: a year for 13 years. And [Roscoe]: She says. [Biehner]: it was worth just shy of 19% of the salary cap. Whereas Matthew is only at 13.9%. [Suthy]: I feel like there's [Biehner]: So.
[Suthy]: one thing that no one's... Sorry, go ahead, go ahead. Finish your thought. [Biehner]: Yeah, so like it's still less. The number itself isn't really what you have to [Biehner]: look at. It's the percentage of the cap. So that's still not that bad. And if you
[Biehner]: averaged out his last contract, the 1164, that was what, five years? If you take [Biehner]: those five years, plus these four that are coming up, and you could have told [Biehner]: someone, yep, when Matthew's entry-level contract is up, we're gonna sign him for nine [Biehner]: years at an average of, what would the average be, 12.2? Everyone would have fucking [Biehner]: jumped all over that. [Roscoe]: Yeah, yeah, honestly. And I mean, with what we're hearing with, you know, Dullin
[Roscoe]: expected to sign eight times ten and a half. And, you know, Sanderson just signed [Roscoe]: eight times eight and a half. I mean, if a like pretty good to star player goes for [Roscoe]: anywhere from nine to ten million and then from there up like ten to twelve, [Roscoe]: we're saying or ten to fourteen, I guess, now a superstar like I don't it's fine. [Roscoe]: I don't care. It's not my money.
[Biehner]: So just before Suddi gets into this, I want to... The percentage of the cap like [Biehner]: I was talking about, Matthews is considered to be probably the best goal scorer [Biehner]: in the game right now, which is what Ovi was when he signed that one. If you want [Biehner]: further comparison, McDavid is still in the eight year deal he signed coming out [Biehner]: of entry at 12.5. So he's, this is coming into his third year on that deal and [Biehner]: he's still at 15% of the cap.
[Roscoe]: How many more years does McDavid have? Three? [Biehner]: He's a free agent the summer of 2026. [Suthy]: Okay. [Roscoe]: Yeah, and there's no way that you're getting him for less than 13.25. [Suthy]: never [Roscoe]: So [Suthy]: happened, [Roscoe]: exactly, [Suthy]: especially then. [Roscoe]: right. It looks good now. It looks good when the cap goes up. I'm fine with it. [Roscoe]: Could have been higher. He's the best. He's still here. He's not in Arizona. He's
[Roscoe]: not in L.A. He's not in New York. I don't see anything wrong with this. [Suthy]: and even [Roscoe]: It [Biehner]: and [Suthy]: like... [Roscoe]: is, however, weird that we keep hearing other players getting signed before Willie. [Roscoe]: But, you know. [Suthy]: Yeah, and like not a lot of people want to talk about this, but it's actually [Suthy]: not too bad for the team itself maybe because Matthews has a chronic wrist problem.
[Suthy]: This has been happening in every single year And obviously I don't think it's going [Suthy]: to be something that's going to explode career ending god forbid But it is something [Suthy]: to keep an eye on so that's also not a bad little wrinkle for the Leafs [Roscoe]: Look, I get that, you know, oh, eight years is great if they're a star. I don't like
[Roscoe]: eight year deals. I'm totally with you. If you can keep signing somebody four [Roscoe]: years, four years, four years, five years, whatever it is, and they keep getting [Roscoe]: a little more money out of it, it gives you a little more freedom too. Like that's [Roscoe]: what you're paying for. Is that option to be like, all right, so this has been fun, [Roscoe]: but you just got hurt three times in a row and you are not the person you were [Roscoe]: six years ago.
[Suthy]: Yeah, [Roscoe]: So goodbye. [Suthy]: everybody gets to reevaluate. And yet, like I said, not be locked in those extra three [Suthy]: years. [Roscoe]: Yeah, I'm not saying, you know, Matthews is going to fall off when he's 32, but like, [Roscoe]: you know, you never know what happens and it's nice to have some freedom in those [Roscoe]: times with money because you never know what else is going to come up.
[Biehner]: Not [Roscoe]: What [Biehner]: to mention [Roscoe]: I do [Biehner]: the [Roscoe]: find... [Biehner]: fact that, [Roscoe]: Oh, [Biehner]: sorry, [Roscoe]: go for it. [Biehner]: I think he only needs to average like 20 goals a year throughout the rest of [Biehner]: that contract and he'd be the all-time Leafs goal scorer. [Roscoe]: Unreal. [Suthy]: That's insane.
[Roscoe]: I do find the Jake Sanderson contract a little strange. I know he's a high draft [Roscoe]: pick and everything and they got the term at a pretty good dollar value if all shakes [Roscoe]: out the way it's supposed to. But after one season to give eight times eight [Roscoe]: and a half is really risky. And it seems [Suthy]: 77 [Roscoe]: that this is Ottawa's. [Suthy]: games. [Biehner]: 77 games. [Roscoe]: Yeah, it's one season minus, you know, [Suthy]: Yeah.
[Roscoe]: a couple flus. So it seems like Ottawa's move lately has been to hand out term in order [Roscoe]: to keep people there. Like, I know it's not a totally undesirable place to play, [Roscoe]: but it's been a changing of the guard. There's a new owner. They're potentially getting [Roscoe]: a new arena. They're shifting the whole team around. Young guys coming up to [Roscoe]: take over. It seems like in order to get other players to stay there, they've
[Roscoe]: had to throw huge term at them and even their own guys. So I hope that this works [Roscoe]: out for Ottawa and this becomes a bit of a run for them for a few years because [Roscoe]: I'd like to see them back in the conversation, but man, it's a risky move. [Biehner]: It definitely is. Realistically, if he turns out to what he projects to, this
[Biehner]: is going to be a good deal. But for after the 77 games to have him making, no offense [Biehner]: to Moe, but he's making that much more than Morgan Reilly. [Suthy]: more than Shabbat [Roscoe]: bright. [Suthy]: too. [Biehner]: Like, that's insane. Yeah, he's like $50,000 more than [Suthy]: Yeah. [Biehner]: Shabbat.
[Roscoe]: crazy. And just to circle back to what said he brought up last time we were on [Roscoe]: I know it seems like an eternity ago because it was awesome Matthews deal of 13 [Roscoe]: and a half mil makes him the highest paid NHL or it also makes him the 113 highest [Roscoe]: paid NBA player 103rd highest played highest paid MLB player and 88th highest played
[Roscoe]: NFL player. Oh my god, like fix your shit. I was down in New York like I was talking [Roscoe]: about, and when you turn on the cable in the hotel, it's Spectrum TV, which I hadn't [Roscoe]: heard of before, but I guess it's a very big provider down there. It must have [Roscoe]: been out of a merger or something because I've never heard of it. [Biehner]: Spectrum's been around for a little while.
[Roscoe]: I don't know. So anyway, I'm flipping through channels and every now and then there'd [Roscoe]: be a channel that just says Due to an ongoing dispute with Disney this channel [Roscoe]: has been blocked so I guess they don't want to pay as much as Disney wants them to [Roscoe]: because spectrum wants to keep the prices down and Here we are where ESPN is not
[Roscoe]: on spectrum, which is one of the biggest cable providers in the states. So [Roscoe]: I know it's not exactly your thing, but this is your game that you're supposed [Roscoe]: to be growing. And the TV deals have been fucked. Like every network has fallen [Roscoe]: apart and they've just been fumbling these American TV rights around. And I don't [Roscoe]: know how many subscribers does Spectrum? Spectrum.
[Suthy]: I'm surprised you don't hear more from the owners about this. They seem to back Batman [Suthy]: so much, but he's always been fumbling these TV deals. And how do you grow your game? [Suthy]: Like, especially financially, it's with TV deals. That's why [Roscoe]: Charter [Suthy]: NBA [Roscoe]: Communications. [Suthy]: contracts exploded. Go [Roscoe]: Yeah, [Suthy]: ahead. [Roscoe]: you're right. No, sorry, with 32 million customers in 41 states, the second largest
[Roscoe]: cable operator in the US, just behind Comcast. So. [Roscoe]: a lot of people not able to watch their home teams if it's not on another network. [Roscoe]: It's dumb. You got to get your revenues up. It's you can look up on Wikipedia. There's [Roscoe]: a chart of like revenue per game and per season for all the major sports. And man, [Roscoe]: the NHL has got to do something about this. It's getting out of hand. They they.
[Roscoe]: An ad on a jersey or on a helmet is not going to fix this. Like it needs to get [Roscoe]: to more people. And there are so many blockades for no reason. Like it shouldn't [Roscoe]: be this hard to watch hockey. I don't get it. Like we're. in a bit of a bubble where [Roscoe]: the Leafs are owned by the two biggest telecom companies in Canada. So watching them [Roscoe]: isn't exactly difficult, but it even still is. Like I'm in Ottawa and I get games
[Roscoe]: blacked out all the time. So it's just it's stupid that everywhere you live. [Roscoe]: It's never easy to watch every game unless you pay a couple hundred bucks. And [Roscoe]: I'm not. I don't know. [darty]: You brought up ads on jerseys though, and let me tell you though, I can't wait for [darty]: when they let like a Viagra ad on a jersey or like an Xlax ad. Something stupid [darty]: like that. That's when you know Gary's really broke.
[Roscoe]: Yeah, Manscaped and Better Help are like the fucking Jersey sponsors next. [Roscoe]: Ugh. Okay, another [darty]: Pepto [Roscoe]: little. [darty]: Bismol, fucking RubA535. [Roscoe]: So the other one who got extended is Sheldon Keefe for another two years. Again, [Roscoe]: they can fire him. I don't care. What do you guys think of this? I think it's strange
[Roscoe]: that it happened before the season started. And I think it's intriguing that it [Roscoe]: happens right after Matthews gets signed, like as though it was a bit of a stipulation, [Roscoe]: like I want to keep playing for Keefe, but I want to [Suthy]: I [Roscoe]: know [Suthy]: think [Roscoe]: what you guys [Suthy]: like [Roscoe]: think.
[Suthy]: the two years is it's nothing right if you fire him and you have to pay him out [Suthy]: That's not a big deal But I think having him locked up is one less distraction going [Suthy]: into the season and maybe that's kind of what Brad was looking For in his first year [Suthy]: here. That's the only thing I can really think of [Biehner]: Yeah, I think that's a big thing, trying to get one more distraction out of the
[Biehner]: way. And like you said, Roscoe, not that Matthew should have the final say, but [Biehner]: when you have a franchise altering player like that, you have to take their opinion [Biehner]: into consideration. [Roscoe]: Oh, of course. I mean, [Suthy]: 100%.
[Roscoe]: it's not a secret that like, Crosby gets asked about anything that Pinkwins do, [Roscoe]: you know, Vetchkin gets asked about whatever [Suthy]: any [Roscoe]: the Caps [Suthy]: superstar [Roscoe]: do, and McDavid gets [Suthy]: in [Roscoe]: asked [Suthy]: any [Roscoe]: about [Suthy]: team. [Roscoe]: whatever the Oilers do. Exactly. Like, it's not uncommon for them to be, hey, do you [Roscoe]: hate your coach? No, I want to keep playing for him. Great, we're going to sign [Roscoe]: out.
[Biehner]: Like, don't you think that kind of stuff should have happened? Maybe it did, but [Biehner]: should have happened with the flames? Like, is Sutter the reason K'Chuck wanted to [Biehner]: get the hell out of Dodge? [Roscoe]: That [Suthy]: According to rumors, [Roscoe]: fell apart [Suthy]: it was. [Roscoe]: in such a weird way. Like it was piece by piece and then it was all at once. Like, [Roscoe]: there's still a couple stragglers and everybody's been wondering if they're ending
[Roscoe]: up on the Leafs, but still a few guys kicking around there. But yeah, it seems weird [Roscoe]: that they booted him and traded everybody. [Roscoe]: I have a question for y'all. What do you think is the most common first name [Roscoe]: in the NHL? [Roscoe]: Dardee, you want to take a stab at it?
[darty]: uh... thomas i don't know i thought we were starting with last names alright i [darty]: got the scoop earlier when everybody was off so saying first names i was like oh [darty]: fuck oh [Roscoe]: Thomas? [darty]: sorry i swore sorry lukeman [Roscoe]: Thomas is fading in popularity since 2010. It was at one point, there were 20 of
[Roscoe]: them. Currently there are 12, I wanna say, but it is not the most popular. Anybody [Roscoe]: else wanna [darty]: I [Roscoe]: take [darty]: think [Roscoe]: a [darty]: Michael's [Roscoe]: stab? [darty]: gotta be up there. [Biehner]: Yeah, it's gotta be like one of the ones from our generation like Michael or Matthew. [Suthy]: Maybe [Roscoe]: Here's the [Suthy]: John [Roscoe]: thing. So [Suthy]: or Jeff. [Roscoe]: Michael was the correct answer until 2017.
[Roscoe]: And Michael has dropped off like the economy. [darty]: Well, sorry for being six years too late for this fuckin' poll. [Roscoe]: At one point in 2015, there were 40 guys named Michael in the NHL, but they all [Roscoe]: retired basically at the same time. [darty]: I missed like seven episodes and now I'm like six years, seven years behind [Suthy]: I'm sorry. [darty]: in the league apparently. [Roscoe]: Anybody else stabbing it? [Suthy]: Hmm. John?
[Roscoe]: All right, so John, Johnny, John, they're at, what's that, about 18 of them? [Roscoe]: They are not the first place one. So just pardon me. The leader has, what's this, [Roscoe]: 34? [Suthy]: Hold tight. [Biehner]: Wow. [Roscoe]: and there is somebody right behind them. [Biehner]: Ryan? [Roscoe]: So Ryan, we got 23 of them, not the first place. It's fifth, fourth, fifth, fifth. [darty]: Tyler. [Roscoe]: And just, sorry, these statistics are from 2021. Nobody has updated it since.
[Biehner]: Are [Suthy]: Alex, [Biehner]: you using [Suthy]: finally [Biehner]: the [Suthy]: guess. [Biehner]: light? [darty]: That's a good, that's a great guess. [Roscoe]: Ah, there it is. Alex, winner, winner. Alex, Alexand, Alexander. Yeah, that's the [Roscoe]: number one name in the NHL, followed right behind by, what is this one? Jacob, Jake, [Roscoe]: Jacob, Jake, which in 2010, which is when this counter starts, there were six
[Roscoe]: of, and now there are 33. It has shot up from last place to second. It's one of those, [Roscoe]: you know, [Suthy]: Go [Roscoe]: the [Suthy]: Jacobs. [Roscoe]: millennial. Millennial names. [Biehner]: How much do we want to bet Austin and Connor will start rising in the next [Suthy]: Yeah. [Biehner]: 15 years? [Roscoe]: O'Connor is becoming like the most common name. It's going to shoot up real quick.
[Roscoe]: Last thing here before we go to questions, classy and trashy part two. So I want to talk [Roscoe]: about at home viewing of the game and some things that are OK and not OK to do [Roscoe]: or maybe not OK, but just a little trashy. So yelling at the TV, what do you guys [Roscoe]: what do you guys think about yelling at the TV during the game? Do you do it? Do [Roscoe]: you not? Do you try not to? Does it happen? What do you think of it?
[Suthy]: It just happens. There's [Roscoe]: Hehehehe [Suthy]: nothing you can do about it. [Biehner]: Have you seen the officiating in this league? [Suthy]: Yeah. [Roscoe]: Yeah, yeah. So I think we can all agree that it's just something that is involuntary. [Roscoe]: We know that they can't hear us, everybody saying, they can't hear you when you yell, [Roscoe]: shoot. I know. [Suthy]: I mean, maybe [Roscoe]: I know.
[Suthy]: if you're yelling like every couple minutes, then you need to reel it in a little [Suthy]: bit, but it's gonna slip out once and a while. [Roscoe]: What about jerseys for at home game viewing? Any superstitions for what you wear [Roscoe]: when you watch the game or do you take one out for watching it at home? [Suthy]: Yep, always. [Biehner]: I can typically get a little too superstitious, but I think that stems from
[Biehner]: me being a goalie as well. Like when we talked about, I don't [Suthy]: Yeah. [Biehner]: know if it was last year or the year before, pregame rituals when I'm playing out, [Biehner]: it's very simple. When I'm in net, there's like a strict timeline and order that [Biehner]: everything has to be done in. [Roscoe]: Hehehe. Ugh. [Suthy]: If it's a must-win, I'll also give my jersey to my girlfriend. And that so far
[Suthy]: has been working quite well. But it's only for the rarest of occasions. [Roscoe]: Ooh, I like that having a safe, what do you call it? It's like a superstition, but [Roscoe]: you keep it for special occasions. I don't know what, [Suthy]: Yes. [Roscoe]: there's gotta be a name for that. Help me. What else is there for at home? What's [Roscoe]: a snack you have when you're watching the game? You get chips, you do popcorn, you
[Roscoe]: do pretzels. You a [Biehner]: Typically [Roscoe]: microwave [Biehner]: chips. [Roscoe]: chips? Yeah. [Suthy]: Yeah, I think chips. [Roscoe]: Chips is an easy one at home. That's something that you don't do when you're at [Roscoe]: the game live. Like chips is never something that I would get while I'm at the [Roscoe]: arena. [Suthy]: No, [Roscoe]: But when I'm [Suthy]: never.
[Roscoe]: at home, I'm like, I just want a fucking bag of chips. Also, cause [Biehner]: And [Roscoe]: like, [Biehner]: that's... [Roscoe]: can you imagine what they'd charge for like a full size bag of chips on an arena? [Suthy]: It would be like 12 [Biehner]: And I'm [Suthy]: bucks. [Biehner]: glad you said it that way as well, like, I'm not talking about a handful or a [Biehner]: small bowl, like, I'm [Suthy]: Or [Biehner]: talking [Suthy]: to [Biehner]: about [Suthy]: beg.
[Biehner]: a full family-sized [Roscoe]: Yeah. [Biehner]: bag. [Roscoe]: which like, come on, is like really a half full bag of chips when you get into [Roscoe]: those [Suthy]: You [Roscoe]: sides, [Suthy]: dump that [Roscoe]: but. [Suthy]: into serving bowl and it's not seen tomorrow. [Roscoe]: Yeah, exactly. Do you have a... In my head, there's these like, these white plastic [Roscoe]: bowls that my parents had, always had chips or popcorn or pretzels or something
[Roscoe]: in them. Do you have like a go-to bowl that you always put that shit in? [Biehner]: Well, [Suthy]: Uh, [Biehner]: I [Suthy]: yes, [Biehner]: think we just. [Suthy]: actually. [Biehner]: Well, we just established that when it comes to chips, you don't really need bowls. [Roscoe]: Uh, it'd be... [Suthy]: I'm [Roscoe]: sometimes. [Suthy]: a ball guy, I think. [Biehner]: Yeah? Nah, right [Suthy]: Oh [Biehner]: from [Suthy]: yeah. [Biehner]: the bag.
[Roscoe]: There's something about the greasy knuckles or like chippy, like flavored knuckles [Roscoe]: that you get from going in the bag. That's just not always what you want. Also, [Roscoe]: if people go to sleep, if like, you know, my girlfriend works in the morning, I [Roscoe]: don't want to be like those miss Vicky's bags, which I really love miss Vicky's. Why [Roscoe]: is it that all of the kettle cooked chips have the crumpliest bags? [Suthy]: They're so loud.
[Roscoe]: so [Biehner]: I [Roscoe]: loud. [Biehner]: don't [darty]: Yo, [Biehner]: know. [darty]: I missed this, but Greasy Knuckles is the name of your sex tape, Roscoe. [Roscoe]: Hahaha [Biehner]: hahahaha [Suthy]: Not to mention I like [Roscoe]: Oh [Suthy]: having the option of picking which chip I want to. [Roscoe]: Yeah, that's a thing [Suthy]: It's a [Roscoe]: for [Suthy]: thing. [Roscoe]: sure. Because because there's sometimes where you're like, I want a little crunch right
[Roscoe]: now because that last one wasn't. And then sometimes you're like, no, I need [Roscoe]: like a big in [Suthy]: Mm-hmm. [Roscoe]: this. Sometimes it's a munch. Sometimes it's a hunger chip. You know, there's different [Roscoe]: levels, context [Suthy]: Beginner's [Roscoe]: of chips. [Suthy]: leaving too much up the chance with the big. [Biehner]: Nah, [Roscoe]: different.
[Biehner]: I just need to get it done. And then [Suthy]: Hahaha [Biehner]: you [Roscoe]: different [Biehner]: get to [Roscoe]: mix [Biehner]: the last [Roscoe]: them. [Biehner]: little bit, you get to the last little bit in the bag and you crunch it all up and [Biehner]: just devour it. [Suthy]: That's a good [Roscoe]: to [Suthy]: move. [Roscoe]: remix two kinds.
[Biehner]: Occasionally, [Suthy]: No. [Biehner]: I might I don't know if you've ever tried the hell of a good French onion dip [Roscoe]: So good. [Suthy]: Oh yeah. [Biehner]: It's amazing and it grosses my wife out because I will dip any flavor of chip in [Biehner]: there Not just [Suthy]: Mm-hmm. [Biehner]: plain like sweet chili heat Doritos dipped into that is a [Suthy]: Yep. [Biehner]: gold mine [Roscoe]: That's weird. Not gonna lie.
[Suthy]: No, it's not. It's [Biehner]: You gotta [Suthy]: good. [Biehner]: try it. [Roscoe]: Okay, if both of you have tried it. I'm not saying that I trust either one of you [Roscoe]: over the other one, but if both of you say it, [Biehner]: Hahaha [Roscoe]: then there's gotta [Suthy]: I think [Roscoe]: be something [Suthy]: even all [Roscoe]: to [Suthy]: dressed [Roscoe]: it. [Suthy]: is really good with it too. [Roscoe]: Dressed [Biehner]: Yes. [Roscoe]: all overs.
[Suthy]: Yes. [Roscoe]: Something I didn't realize was Canadian. [Suthy]: Yeah, we [Roscoe]: Dressed [Suthy]: are. [Roscoe]: all over chips. [Biehner]: That and hickory sticks. [Roscoe]: Yeah, hickory sticks in America are just like salad toppers. Like you get them [Roscoe]: in [Biehner]: Hehehehehe [Roscoe]: the grocery store [Suthy]: Ha [Roscoe]: by [Suthy]: ha ha.
[Roscoe]: the salad section, and it's like a thing you put on top of salad. And then here [Roscoe]: they're like, wait, what do you mean you can get a whole bag of those and eat them? [Roscoe]: That's insane. [Biehner]: And I don't know if they still are, but apparently Kinder eggs used to be illegal [Biehner]: in the States. [Roscoe]: I think they still are. Cause I remember there's been some cases of people getting busted [Roscoe]: trying to import a bunch of them.
[Biehner]: which [Roscoe]: Like [Biehner]: is ridiculous. [Roscoe]: you can only get them in [Suthy]: Kinder [Roscoe]: like grocery [Suthy]: Smugglers. [Roscoe]: stores and stuff. Well, it's because the way that lawsuits work down there is it's [Roscoe]: just like, it's not worth it. Cause if every dumb parent with their dumb kid is [Roscoe]: gonna get hurt with it and they're gonna start suing you, it's like, okay, let's
[Roscoe]: just not sell them here anymore. We'll sell them to people that, you know, don't leave [Roscoe]: their kids unattended with a... think a plastic thing. Anyway, we're not gonna get [Roscoe]: into that. [Biehner]: But come to Sunoco today and get a free gun. [Roscoe]: Yeah, [Suthy]: Thank you. [Biehner]: Sorry. [Roscoe]: there was there was a anyway. No, never mind. I'm not going to get into that. [Roscoe]: But some interesting things driving through upstate New York for the last month.
[Suthy]: I'd have imagined. [Roscoe]: Fucking Dollar General, man, it's like you don't see a grocery store, but you [Roscoe]: see a dollar general every hour. Insane. I think I talked about this, but I don't know [Roscoe]: if I told all of you guys, but the Aqua Sarsenny Reserve, that's like Quebec, [Roscoe]: Ontario, New York area. On the New York side of it, by the casino, there's like
[Roscoe]: gotta be a hundred pot shops. There's one that's literally called another damn pot [Roscoe]: shop because it's such a joke that there's so many of them. [Roscoe]: Questions and then we got to get out of here. I really have to pee too. Fun guy [Roscoe]: at South Park Cal, will Keef ever send this line out in a game? Bertuzzi Domi [Roscoe]: Reeves. I mean, probably not, but maybe on a, like, what, a penalty kill or like.
[Suthy]: Maybe I could try and wake the team up. Just hoping for a really physical shift, [Suthy]: just to try and get something going in the game. But other than that, I maybe [Roscoe]: game [Suthy]: don't. [Roscoe]: against the Jets that goes south? Like... [Suthy]: Yeah [Roscoe]: Oh, excuse me. Yeah, if people start beating up on Matthews and Marner and you're
[Roscoe]: just like, you know what fine You want to start shoving people around? It's kind [Roscoe]: of a fun idea Like the fact that he [Suthy]: Yeah. [Roscoe]: can is hilarious It's just if you want to fuck it's the fuck around and find [Roscoe]: outline like [Suthy]: Exactly.
[Roscoe]: if you see him send that out It's like shit He's like it's to send a message [Roscoe]: and there's no other reason you'd put it out for one shift or I don't [Suthy]: And if they go out there, like, they know their mandate's not to score a goal, it's [Suthy]: just, fuck shit up. [Roscoe]: Yeah, but on that, I do love that both Pertuzzi and Domi have expressed interest [Roscoe]: in staying here long-term and it's just a matter of figuring it out next off-season.
[Roscoe]: So really excited [Suthy]: Fingers crossed. [Roscoe]: that some people have the passion. I mean, obviously Domi wants to be here, but [Roscoe]: Pertuzzi is an interesting one, especially because he was so anti-Canadian with the vaccine [Roscoe]: mandate and everything. Wasn't it Pertuzzi that was the holdout?
[Biehner]: No. [Roscoe]: So it's interesting that he's now, I mean, I know that's not like a reason to [Roscoe]: write off a country, but somebody that's so quick to be like, no, I'm not doing [Roscoe]: that. It's like, yeah, fuck it, let's go Toronto. I'm down to stay here long-term. [Roscoe]: It's like, okay, let's go. I'll take a shithead. We need another Michael Bunting. [Roscoe]: Another question, Cody Donaldson at W underscore Donaldson. Another very important
[Roscoe]: question that needs to be answered tonight. Dardee, I'll let you take this one [Roscoe]: first. What kind of pizza would the core four be individually and together, crust [Roscoe]: type, et cetera? So if you took the core four and turned them into a pizza, what [Roscoe]: would that pizza be? [darty]: I feel like they're like a deluxe Hawaiian with cheesy bread. You know, the cheesy crust. [Roscoe]: And why do you say that?
[darty]: You know, sometimes it's awfully confusing, surprisingly delicious, results may vary. And [darty]: at the same time, you know, unfortunately I feel like cheesy crust is pretty overrated [darty]: sometimes. Like you think that it's gonna be amazing. You buy it every single time. [darty]: And then you realize there's a reason why crust is just crust because it's boring. [darty]: All right. And I eat crust. I'm a crust eater. Okay. Like I'll eat your crust. I'll
[darty]: eat crust off of people's plates. If they're not gonna eat it, I'll eat it. I love [darty]: crust. I know some people they like to. get dips and stuff, I'll have it dry. I [darty]: don't care. I'm a weird guy. I chew ice too. I'm one of those people. But that's [Roscoe]: Don't [darty]: why I [Roscoe]: underestimate [darty]: say they're cheesy crust. [Roscoe]: a good crust. [darty]: Cause I say, I love a good crust. That's why I say they're cheesy crust. You think they're
[darty]: gonna be all that in the bag of potato chips. And sometimes it's just like, you know [darty]: what? Still just crust. So that's my take there. [Roscoe]: That's kind of interesting because I mean, when you look at it from afar, it's [Roscoe]: like, that's a lot of things that individually are really good. I hope this works [Roscoe]: well altogether. And depending on the bite you get, you're like, there's a lot
[Roscoe]: of good things here. But then if you take too big of a bite, and you put it up against [Roscoe]: other things, it's like, okay, there's just too much going on here. I can't I can't [Roscoe]: with this. [darty]: One [Roscoe]: And they [darty]: bite, [Roscoe]: get [darty]: everyone knows the rules, right? [Roscoe]: and nobody knows who the like lead flavor is. It's like a bunch of very strong
[Roscoe]: competing flavors. Yeah. And there's the yeah, I like it. It makes sense. Everybody's [Roscoe]: got [Suthy]: That's [Roscoe]: a little [Suthy]: good. [Roscoe]: hidden talent and the hidden talents and the cheesy crust. It's good. Okay, next [Roscoe]: up, Sudi, what do you think? [Suthy]: I don't think I could follow that up actually, he nailed it pretty good. [Roscoe]: I know honestly that's kind of the best answer. Anything you want to add?
[darty]: Here's a way to follow it up not to skip bean but All right, sorry now I'm free [darty]: dart is free See you later boy. So [Suthy]: Bye, Rocco. [darty]: yes, I wasn't lying. I was on a walk with my buddy. [Roscoe]: I'm [darty]: All [Roscoe]: sorry. [darty]: right, that's why I was so a you know afk but [Roscoe]: See you buddy.
[darty]: That's rocko, right? All right Kaz wicks finest so we are I We're talking about [darty]: pizza, right and did anybody else cuz we you know We always keep up to date with [darty]: the goings-on of social media anybody else following the whole Dave Portnoy situation [darty]: with that whole pizza thing. Like apparently he got, like one of his pizza reviews went [darty]: a little awry. [Roscoe]: Man, I can't keep [Suthy]: I don't [Roscoe]: every [Suthy]: know.
[Roscoe]: time I go on Instagram, there's another Dave Portnoy incident that I'm supposed to [Roscoe]: care about. Like, is he a good person or isn't he? I can't decide. I don't watch [Roscoe]: these things. It's just always like, oh, he yelled at somebody and almost fired [Roscoe]: them live on the podcast. Like, what did he do this time with a pizza? [darty]: You're asking me? I actually don't 100% know. That's why I figured you guys were
[darty]: more into the social media scene. I just know it keeps like some bullshit keeps [darty]: popping up on my feet about him. And I'm like, honestly, this guy, just as you hit [darty]: the nail on the head, like this guy's like, he's like [Roscoe]: here. [darty]: the apprentice. He's like the apprentice era Donald Trump of fucking, you know, cheap [darty]: sports casting. You know what [Roscoe]: pizza [darty]: I mean? Like
[Roscoe]: shop that took on Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports. This is from Bon Appetit. [Roscoe]: Okay, [Suthy]: I think he like [Roscoe]: go [Suthy]: stopped [Roscoe]: on, I just [Suthy]: him [Roscoe]: gotta. [Suthy]: from going in for a review or something. [Roscoe]: Rates at a 6.4 to 10 is a Dragon Pizza, a relatively low score. Shows red approaching [Roscoe]: Portnoy outside the shop. Dave, enjoy your pizza as any customer, he says, but I
[Roscoe]: don't appreciate what you do judging a business with one bite. Let me be clear, [Roscoe]: move on, don't stand in front of my business. Let me be clear, fuck you, Portnoy [Roscoe]: replies. Nice, fuck you and the stool you came in on, Dave, douchebag. Nice. So, [Roscoe]: okay. So this guy just didn't love that Portnoy is reviewing their restaurant [Roscoe]: off of taking a bite of the pizza, which I get. It's not, you know, Gordon Ramsay
[Roscoe]: orders the menu for a reason. But I got into a little altercation upfront. So, [Roscoe]: I mean, it's not good. I don't think it's a good move if you own a business to like [Roscoe]: approach a, whether you agree with it or not. I mean, I don't know. This is good [Roscoe]: business for them. Any news is good news, I guess. It's good PR. I didn't know
[Roscoe]: about Dragon Pizza 10 minutes ago, so now I do. But I think it's just a bad idea [Roscoe]: to try to tell somebody that's from some internet thing that's reviewing your shit
[Roscoe]: to fuck off, like, and create a scene. Like, I don't know, you're always better off [Roscoe]: to try to form a partnership or, you know, be in on the video or however you can [Roscoe]: feed off of it in a positive way and get people to, you know, it's like, hey, I [Roscoe]: don't know, make a joke out of it if you don't like the review, but I don't know. [Roscoe]: It's drama.
[Biehner]: So with the pizza question, first core four, are we talking JT, Marner, Matthews, [Biehner]: and Elander, or are we having Riley in there somewhere? [Roscoe]: however you want to do it. [Biehner]: So if we're doing JT, Marner, Matthews, and Nylander, I kind of went a little bit of [Biehner]: the opposite direction of what each one would be pizza-wise. And in honor of our [Biehner]: general manager, why don't we go with pizzas from Boston Pizza? [Roscoe]: Oh hell yeah.
[Suthy]: Hehehe [Roscoe]: That deluxe Hawaiian one is so good. [Biehner]: The Royal [Suthy]: Yeah, [Biehner]: Hawaiian? [Suthy]: dudes. [Roscoe]: The Royal Hawaiian, [Biehner]: Yeah, [Roscoe]: oh, with [Biehner]: that's [Roscoe]: the sesame [Biehner]: my go-to. [Roscoe]: seeds. [Biehner]: So for starters, we'd have JT, you know, our captain, pepperoni, all the way. [Suthy]: Oh, [Biehner]: Just [Suthy]: 100%. [Biehner]: keep [Suthy]: Or maybe [Biehner]: it simple. [Suthy]: just cheese even.
[Roscoe]: You know what? [Suthy]: And if you feel [Roscoe]: You [Suthy]: it [Roscoe]: gotta [Suthy]: spicy, [Roscoe]: give him [Suthy]: you [Roscoe]: like [Suthy]: might [Roscoe]: margarita. [Suthy]: throw some pepperoni on there. [Roscoe]: You gotta give Tavar's margarita, because it's like, it's plain, but it's plain [Roscoe]: done well. [Suthy]: Fair [Roscoe]: You know, [Suthy]: enough. [Roscoe]: it's the highest end of basic. He is a margarita pizza.
[Biehner]: I think for Willy, I think you would have to go with something like the tropical [Biehner]: chicken. You know, like an Alfredo sauce, you got the bacon, you got the cheese, [Biehner]: little spicy chicken breast on there. Like, that's like a Willy. [Roscoe]: Spicy [darty]: Tropical [Roscoe]: pierogi. [darty]: chicken as a pizza? Sounds like a dance [Biehner]: Yeah. [Suthy]: Yeah, [darty]: move. [Suthy]: I thought it really might be Hawaiian, but tropical pizza works just as good.
[Roscoe]: Yeah, see, Sudi, I'm with you. Willie feels like a Hawaiian guy just because it's [Roscoe]: like. [Biehner]: The Tropical Chicken has pineapple on it as well. [Roscoe]: Oh, okay, [Suthy]: True. [Roscoe]: then yeah, it's Willy. [Suthy]: Yeah, we're gonna go with that. [Biehner]: For Mar- for Marner I would think one of their new pizzas, the Carbonara. So [Biehner]: that's kind of like a Marner thing. And then with Matthew's, I'm kind of torn between
[Biehner]: the two, probably the two most famous Boston pizza pizzas. But I think you [Suthy]: video. [Biehner]: would have to go, I was thinking the Meteor or the Spicy Pierogi. [Roscoe]: Spicy [Suthy]: Hmm. [Roscoe]: pierogi feels like you'd have to be Eastern European. [Biehner]: It's cactus [Roscoe]: It just... [Biehner]: cut potatoes, pro-geat, like it. [Roscoe]: Oh, cactus cut? He's from the desert. Come on. [Biehner]: right?
[Suthy]: Hahaha [darty]: Yeah. [Biehner]: But then, but then you have the Meteor, it's literally got everything and he has everything [Biehner]: with regards to being one of the best players in the league. [Roscoe]: Yeah, [Suthy]: I think it's [Roscoe]: I feel [Suthy]: gotta [Roscoe]: like [Suthy]: be Meteor. [Roscoe]: it's Meteor. If he was European, I would say Spicy Pierogi, but yeah, it's the [Roscoe]: Meteor. I like that. [Suthy]: Great question.
[Roscoe]: Nice one. So we answered it in both ways. So thank you for that one. [darty]: I got a question [Biehner]: And [darty]: for you, [Biehner]: then [darty]: Johnny. [Biehner]: Morgan Reilly is whatever Tessa wants.
[Roscoe]: Oh, ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
[Suthy]: No! [Biehner]: Ha ha! [Suthy]: Jesus Christ [Biehner]: Sorry. [darty]: That's good, I like that, that's funny. [Roscoe]: Well done. [darty]: That's what we need to hear. That's what the listeners want. [Suthy]: I'm gonna go. [darty]: That's what the folks at home. [Biehner]: with the with the calling with the calling fire crest.
[Roscoe]: Ohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho [darty]: Yeah.
[Roscoe]: Let's be real, John's getting the cauliflower crust. [Biehner]: Hahaha [Suthy]: Yeah. [darty]: I'm going to go to bed. [Roscoe]: Dardee, [darty]: Wait, [Roscoe]: you got [darty]: so [Roscoe]: a question? [darty]: here, yeah, so that's a question for everybody too. Just another one that, because [darty]: I was thinking about this while we're talking about food and hockey players and who,
[darty]: who's like, again, like I'm probably missing out on something here. Maybe someone [darty]: already has one, but who's going to be the first Leafs player to get their own [darty]: like meal? You know what I mean? Like, you know how they had like the Travis Scott [darty]: burger? Like, is there going to be like an Austin Matthews like burger or something? [darty]: Like who, who would be the first one on the team to get their own like actual like,
[darty]: you know, meal, like from like, like say Osmo. or Timmy's or something, you know, [darty]: like old Tim [Biehner]: Marner [darty]: Beibs [Biehner]: had [darty]: going on. [Biehner]: one. [Roscoe]: Today, where? [Biehner]: I think he had a burger with some burger joint. [Suthy]: Hmm. You'd be my guess. [Biehner]: Martin our partner [Suthy]: He does a [Biehner]: partners [Suthy]: lot of commercials. [Biehner]: with skip the dishes to launch the Mitchell burger [Roscoe]: Oh, nice.
[Biehner]: Here [Suthy]: There [Biehner]: it [Suthy]: you [Roscoe]: And [Suthy]: go. [Biehner]: is. [Roscoe]: I remember the Raptors had a thing with Starbucks in Toronto. [Suthy]: Oh yeah. [Roscoe]: So, [darty]: Well that's [Roscoe]: yeah. [darty]: why, like the Raptors, that was one of my inspiration too, is what's his name on [darty]: the Raptors, is doing the thing with Subway, right? Bowlway or whatever, makes his [darty]: own bowls. The [Biehner]: Scotty Burns.
[Suthy]: Oh yeah, [darty]: kids, [Suthy]: you're right. [darty]: Scotty Barnes, yeah, kid sensation, [Suthy]: Yeah. [darty]: he's awesome, he's wicked. [Roscoe]: If you get the wrong meal, I mean, it would probably be... I mean, it's one of [Roscoe]: the star guys, but I'm thinking of like what... [Suthy]: Does it have to be? I feel like maybe a guy like Ryan Reeves would get like a spicy
[Suthy]: something named after him. Like a challenge [darty]: Oh yeah, [Suthy]: type of [darty]: that's [Suthy]: meal. [darty]: for sure. That's a good one. [Roscoe]: I mean, he is here for a few years, it's true. [Suthy]: Yeah. [Biehner]: Or like someone like Domi, like some, I'm not super familiar with restaurants in [Biehner]: Toronto, but maybe a restaurant that's been around forever, they make some sort of [Biehner]: like quote unquote hometown meal and call it the Max Domi or something.
[Suthy]: Could be. [Roscoe]: Yeah, I'm sure there's a ton of ways you can play on like the double Domi and all [Roscoe]: that. [Suthy]: Oh yeah. [Roscoe]: Yeah, you could have like the oh, that's a good idea for a burger. You could [Roscoe]: have like the Domi and the double Domi and like. [Suthy]: Pitch [Biehner]: McDonald's [Suthy]: it. [Biehner]: and the GTA should temporarily name Happy Meals Smile Meals for Samsona.
[Roscoe]: Oh, [Suthy]: Hehehehe [Roscoe]: I thought you were going, I thought you were gonna make a McDomey joke. [Biehner]: Oh. [Suthy]: Hehehehe [Roscoe]: But no, I think there's a lot of opportunity for these guys to cash in, all these new guys [Roscoe]: in town. There's tons, I mean, the fact that Osmos, I went home to Coburg and [Roscoe]: there's an Osmos there now. The place is popping up everywhere. So, you know.
[Biehner]: I've still not tried one. I finally [Suthy]: Me [Biehner]: tried [Suthy]: neither. [Biehner]: Chick-fil-A today for the first time. [Roscoe]: Not open on Sundays, says on every sign. [Suthy]: I don't know. [Roscoe]: The thing with Osmos is like, if you're not from Ottawa, I'm sure it's good, but like, [Roscoe]: when you have it here, [Suthy]: in. [Roscoe]: it's like, come on, I've had better shawarma than this. What are we [Suthy]: This is [Roscoe]: doing?
[Suthy]: the shawarma capital of Canada and it is excellent. You don't have time to mess [Suthy]: around with Osmo's. [Roscoe]: That's [darty]: I think [Roscoe]: why [darty]: we [Roscoe]: they're- [darty]: have a whole episode that deals with that, right? We did a discussion about the [darty]: subtle [Suthy]: We'll probably [darty]: intricacies [Suthy]: have a few [darty]: of [Suthy]: more. [darty]: what makes a good shawarma.
[Roscoe]: Well, that's why like there's only one, what's that poutine place, Smokes? There's [Roscoe]: only like one of those here in Ottawa. Like, you know, it's the poutines from Ottawa [Roscoe]: and come back. It's like, well, like, yeah, that's why everybody makes it. And there's [Roscoe]: not like a poutine place. [darty]: That's so funny because I was actually just thinking about that. I was looking for [darty]: a solid poutine where I live and I was like, you know what? I haven't been to
[darty]: Smokes in so long. Of course, since COVID, it's disappeared. [Roscoe]: Really? [darty]: It kind of went without a trace. There used to be over 250 restaurants, I think. They [darty]: had Smokes in the US, they had Smokes in LA. Now there's [Roscoe]: Oh wow. [darty]: like... You know, they at least have the amount of restaurants they have. Because [darty]: I had to go up to, I didn't go, but I know like for me to get like the closest
[darty]: smokes to me was like either in downtown Toronto or in Berry. And they used [Biehner]: I [darty]: to [Biehner]: know [darty]: have them everywhere. [Biehner]: I had a wicked poutine when I was heading up to Nunavut when my flight was delayed [Biehner]: in Toronto. I ate at one of the restaurants that was in there. A Montreal smoked meat poutine. [Suthy]: So, nice. [Biehner]: It was delicious. Had [darty]: Oh [Biehner]: a [darty]: yeah.
[Biehner]: bunch of Montreal smoked meat shaved up in it and then some Dijon mustard on it. [Biehner]: It was awesome. [darty]: Shout out to Poutineville, which like you said, the people that worked there used [darty]: to know me by name. I used to go to this place called Poutineville that I think [darty]: it still exists. It's in Montreal, but there was one in Toronto by like Bathurst [darty]: and Bloor area. It was by the lab if anybody knows where that is, which also does
[darty]: no longer exist. And yeah, I used to after a night out of partying, particularly [darty]: it was near the Brunswick house. I'm pretty sure where all the fights used to happen, [darty]: which again, doesn't exist anymore. Thanks COVID and Doug Ford and. the economy [darty]: but thanks capitalism but yeah it was the best [Suthy]: Uh.
[darty]: honestly it was like the best poutine I ever had like I'm pretty sure they still [darty]: have like that chain or whatever in Montreal but yeah poutine feels amazing shoutout [darty]: to poutine [Roscoe]: So just to bring it back, you made a good point there, Dardee, Smokes has downsized [Roscoe]: in the last couple of years. So they're out of Ajax. They were only founded in 2008. [Roscoe]: They opened their first location in Toronto then. By 20, it says in 2016, they
[Roscoe]: had 76 restaurants in Canada and five in the US. They planned to expand the company [Roscoe]: internationally and open 1300 restaurants around the world by 2020. [Suthy]: Wow. [Roscoe]: They had already started this expansion having sold franchises to the states, like [Roscoe]: Dardie said. They had by 2017 150 locations across Canada and the states. They [Roscoe]: had one in Berkeley, California that closed. Four other USA locations have also
[Roscoe]: closed. According to their website, as of August 2022, there are 49 locations. [Roscoe]: So that's 100 down from 2017. That's two-thirds of their restaurants have closed. [darty]: I wasn't making up the severity of this situation, alright? I do my research when [darty]: it comes [Suthy]: Okay. [darty]: to poutine and hockey, okay? Alright? I don't, I back this shit up with facts. [Roscoe]: That's what you come here for, you know? It's leaves [Suthy]: 100%.
[Roscoe]: and random tidbits of information and you will always get that here, I promise [Roscoe]: you. So, [Biehner]: Speaking of poutine, I had [Roscoe]: yes. [Biehner]: one at the Paris Fair this weekend actually. We went to a local fair to celebrate [Biehner]: the end of summer and I had a Dorito poutine. [Roscoe]: That sounds good, actually. [Biehner]: So just your regular poutine fries, gravy and cheese curds with a whole bunch of [Biehner]: crunched up nacho Doritos mixed in there.
[Roscoe]: That's a really good idea. [Biehner]: Simple, [Roscoe]: We did that, [Biehner]: but really good. [Roscoe]: we did a mac and cheese at the cottage a couple of weeks ago, and I crushed up a bunch [Roscoe]: of Doritos for on top of it, and it was really good. [Biehner]: We'll always do like a taco salad every now and then and then we'll mix in we'll [Biehner]: crunch up nacho Doritos and sweet chili heat in there as well [Roscoe]: Nice. [Suthy]: Oh boy.
[darty]: That actually reminds me of, oh by the way, so shout out to Sheridan College, [darty]: Dardie Brewer, Sheridan College alum. And I made a promise that any [Roscoe]: EW [darty]: time that I represented Sheridan College, that I would always, as an actor, make sure [darty]: that people know where I'm from. So, gotta do it the proper way. And yeah, when [darty]: I went to school, they used to have this like, in their cafeteria or whatever,
[darty]: they would have this like, taco in a bag. I'm sure you guys have had it before, [darty]: but it's like, [Roscoe]: Yup. [Biehner]: Walking [darty]: you know, a bag [Biehner]: Taco. [darty]: of Doritos or bag, yeah, Walking Taco. I know people [Suthy]: So [darty]: have [Suthy]: good. [darty]: different names for it, but that was [Roscoe]: do [darty]: amazing. [Roscoe]: with Fritos [darty]: Honestly, [Roscoe]: too.
[darty]: when you're up a little later and you kind of had a couple too many wobbly pops, [darty]: a little Walking Taco, Taco in a Bag, Crushed Doritos and [Roscoe]: Bit of the [darty]: all [Roscoe]: jazz [darty]: the fixing [Roscoe]: cabbage. [darty]: of a taco, it does it. It's amazing. It's crazy what the little things that satiate [darty]: the hunger. [Roscoe]: Yeah, I had that at work actually for the first time. They made that for everybody.
[Roscoe]: It was like, you can do Fritos or Doritos if anybody hasn't had this before. [Roscoe]: You open the bag [Suthy]: Fritos [Roscoe]: sideways. [Suthy]: are great. [Roscoe]: Yeah. Oh yeah. Fritos are the corn flavor. Oh my God. There's so much cornier [Roscoe]: than Doritos are. That's the thing. Don't give me that look, Justin. [Suthy]: It's [Roscoe]: Don't [Suthy]: caught.
[Roscoe]: give me that look. So you cut the bag open sideways and you can put like just [Roscoe]: chili in or you can do like regular taco [darty]: Chiller. [Roscoe]: stuff like. You know, ground beef and sour cream and onions and cheese, whatever. [Roscoe]: And it's just like you eat it with a fork with a bunch of crushed up Doritos, [Roscoe]: it's so good. [Biehner]: little bit of Italian dressing. [Roscoe]: Pardonz-moi. [Suthy]: I've never heard of that. [Roscoe]: I'm sorry, what?
[Biehner]: When we do our taco salads, we'll put it like ground beef, lettuce, spinach, [Biehner]: peppers, crushed up Doritos, and then some Italian dressing. [Suthy]: Italian. [Roscoe]: one. [Suthy]: Not like sour cream, not ranch or... Sour cream. [Biehner]: There'll be a little sour cream in there as well, but. [Suthy]: Alright, alright. [Biehner]: My wife likes to say that I have pregnant girl cravings, like all [Suthy]: She [Biehner]: the [Suthy]: might [Biehner]: time. [Suthy]: be right.
[Biehner]: We've discussed this previously with one of my favorite breakfasts with toast, with [Biehner]: peanut butter and melted cheese. Ha ha! [Roscoe]: Okay, so I just, I know what Italian dressing tastes like, but like I can't discern [Roscoe]: what's in it in my mind, if that makes sense. So it's lemon juice and white vinegar, [Roscoe]: Dijon mustard, garlic, honey, parsley, oregano, thyme, olive oil, black pepper, salt.
[Roscoe]: So besides the Dijon mustard, like the flavor wise, I guess it makes sense. It's [Roscoe]: just not something I would ever think to put on a taco salad, but. Like, why don't [Roscoe]: you get like an avocado lime crema going or like, I don't [Suthy]: Mmm. [Roscoe]: know. You mix [Biehner]: because... [Roscoe]: some sour cream with lime juice and you're set. [darty]: It [Biehner]: No. [darty]: honestly feels like cultural appropriation at this point.
[Roscoe]: I actually learned that similar to how like Hot Pockets and Pizza Pops were created. [Roscoe]: It was some Italian guy made fucking Chinese food, frozen dinners, and they were [Roscoe]: like, why don't you put pizza in an egg roll? And he's like, ah, Pizza Pops. [Suthy]: Genius. [Roscoe]: Genius. Sell it to the world. [Biehner]: You gotta go with the McCain ones though, not the Pillsbury. [Roscoe]: Oh, dude, right? [Suthy]: Y'all 100% [Roscoe]: Right.
[Biehner]: Pillsbury's [Roscoe]: This [Biehner]: too doughy. [Roscoe]: is why we got to get the Patreon going so we can just talk about other things forever [Roscoe]: without worrying [Suthy]: Yeah. [Roscoe]: about wasting [Biehner]: By the [Roscoe]: people's [Biehner]: way, are we [Roscoe]: time. [Biehner]: ever doing the Vegemite? [Roscoe]: I have mine. It's definitely [Suthy]: I still [Roscoe]: expired [Suthy]: have, [Roscoe]: at this [Suthy]: same.
[Roscoe]: point. But well, we were going to do bets, right? Like Steph made a bet that [Roscoe]: she lost and ended up having to eat it. So, I mean, do we want to just like find [Roscoe]: preseason games to bet on or like some when we bet on like other sports, we'll [Roscoe]: find like some random other thing that's going on and we'll pick whoever we think [Roscoe]: is going to win the next like, I don't know, golf, tennis or race or something that [Roscoe]: we don't watch.
[Suthy]: Done. [Biehner]: That could [darty]: And [Biehner]: work. [darty]: just to Luke man, I don't even think like I don't it's not necessarily I don't even [darty]: want to eat the Vegemite it's more so that like we wanted to do it in like a special [darty]: way and then like we just never got around to doing it because Like I'll eat anything [darty]: like I'm a kind of guy like I like a good liverwurst sandwich, you know So like
[darty]: Vegemite I feel like will be a cakewalk for me. I don't know about you [Biehner]: I love the random noises in my dirty [Suthy]: Yeah. [Biehner]: every [Suthy]: Hahaha. [Biehner]: time [Roscoe]: So [Biehner]: he [Roscoe]: wild. [Biehner]: talks. [Suthy]: Thanks for watching!
[Roscoe]: You can pick like K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K [Roscoe]: Who do you think is leading the KHL right now? [Biehner]: and scoring? [Roscoe]: Yeah. [Biehner]: Probably someone who shouldn't be playing hockey like Jake Vertanen. [darty]: I was going to say, was this the dirtbag Olympics?
[Roscoe]: Uh, points. Oh, they've only played three games so far, so it doesn't really matter. [Roscoe]: Um, [darty]: I thought [Roscoe]: who's [darty]: you were [Roscoe]: this? [darty]: talking about points for the show, points that we need to improve on. [Suthy]: Uh huh. [Roscoe]: Ow. I'm just thinking if there's anybody we recognize here. Doesn't seem like it though. [Biehner]: Okay, let someone who actually knows players look at the list.
[Suthy]: Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[Roscoe]: Yeah, oh fuck you. Do you know [darty]: Dude [Roscoe]: who, [darty]: coming for a beanie. [Roscoe]: do you know who fucking, who is... [Suthy]: It's not Mitchkov, that's for sure. [Roscoe]: Yeah, right, do you know who Nikolai Goldopen is? [Biehner]: Nicalical Dolmen is a leaf's prospect. [Roscoe]: Goldobin? He's 27. [Biehner]: or no, sorry, I'm thinking. [Roscoe]: Okay, nice try. [Biehner]: Um, Goldalman used to play in the league, did he not?
[Suthy]: I believe he did. Like I recognize his name. [Biehner]: Yes, I've definitely heard the name. [Biehner]: I've got to look up that prospect now. I'm thinking of it's grow something. [Roscoe]: Number three in points last season was Alexander Radulov. [Suthy]: Oh [Biehner]: Jeez, [Suthy]: yeah. [Biehner]: he's still playing. [Roscoe]: Yeah. [Biehner]: Shippa-Chep's [Roscoe]: What [Biehner]: still playing [Roscoe]: interstate [Biehner]: over there too.
[Roscoe]: are you hitchhiking down, Darty? [Suthy]: Hehehe [darty]: I'm just trying not to get robbed, stabbed, or anything else [Suthy]: Brilliant. [darty]: that would be unfortunate for me. [Suthy]: Are you walking down the 401? What's going on here? [darty]: I think this is Woodbine. The second longest road in the world, apparently. [Roscoe]: Nikolai Goldoben was selected in the first round of the 2014 draft by the San Jose [Roscoe]: Sharks.
[Biehner]: 125 games in the league between Vancouver and San Jose. [Roscoe]: There you go. NHL totals 46 points in 125 games. [darty]: Look [Roscoe]: Yeah. [darty]: guys, I could have been doing this show or listening to the Canadian True Crime [darty]: Podcast, alright? And honestly, like, I feel less secured with this being on the [darty]: show. [Roscoe]: Alright. [Suthy]: You made the right choice.
[Roscoe]: So it's Thursday, we'll be back soon because season's heating up. We got more stuff [Roscoe]: to talk about, more games to play, and more trivia [Suthy]: predictions [Roscoe]: and stuff. [Suthy]: coming [Roscoe]: So [Suthy]: up soon. [Roscoe]: exactly, we got to do a whole preseason breakdown. We got to do the East and the West [Roscoe]: and lots of stuff coming up.
