Julie and Cat’s husbands Jeff and Ty stop by Never Offside | Episode 19

hey guys welcome to Never Offside with Julian Cat 
Um today is a one-of-a-kind episode Um we finally   got both of our husbands on We did it It wasn’t 
too hard for Tyler but Jeff it’s been it’s been   pretty hard to get him um to get him to come on 
but we finally figured out um a technique or a   formula to get them on and it’s wine And it is a 
it is a blind tasting and that piqu his interest   I feel like it also is like the perfect time of 
offseason to have both of them on or not offseason   still going on but like their off season um you 
know before they get like too serious again and   whatnot Totally Like the fact that we are going 
to get Jeff to like have some wine during the week   is only can happen right now kind of in while 
playoffs are still going Um but yeah otherwise   like deep into like July there’s no chance you’re 
getting you know anything like we’re not even   staying up late during um the week because of 
their training Yeah this was like the perfect   pocket and we and we got him We got him Yeah So 
it’s it’s going to be a fun episode We are going   We got so many fun fan questions kind of all over 
the place Um and we we kind of like tweaked some   of them So it was a bit of like how well do we 
know them How well do they know us sort of thing   um from everything from hockey Jeff obviously 
talks about the wine and you know his love and   kind of passion for that Um and and all the things 
you know from their memories in Montreal and   um you know a funny prank too uh that happens uh 
with them both together just trying to get their   personalities just you know out together They’re 
fun I know I’m Cat Cat was like you know Cat Cat’s   MVP of today because she was like full on prep 
mode all weekend I was you know in in the yard   playing baseball like 23 hours a day over the 
holiday weekend um with the boys But you know   she’s like trying to you know dial it in so it’s 
not too chaotic and try to get Jeff’s personality   specifically to to come out a bit And that’s where 
I’m just like five minutes leading up to this I’m   like surely he’ll be fine Sur like I’m like is 
he gonna talk Is he gonna But he’s gonna be great   He’s going to be fine He’s he’s always a gamer 
and that’s what I have to remind myself And um you   know as quiet as he is he does have um he’s got 
the best personality and he’s just the sweetest   And to get to hear his perspective on things 
I think will be fun for people So the wine is   poured Everything’s ready to go And that will be 
up next here on Never Offside After Dark a special episode All right welcome back to Never Offside A 
special edition here with our hubbies Jeff Jeff I   never thought it would happen Jeff she she’s 
pushed it for a little bit and uh she’s like   I need you I need support and I support from far 
Anyways Tyler’s given his support Tyler thank you   again for coming on with us Um Jeff appreciate 
you Uh we knew we had to do something a little   bit different to get Jeff in here and get him 
comfortable So what better than a little Petri   wine night Jeff this is your first and probably 
only podcast correct This might be Yeah I’m you   know maybe it goes well and I just jump on them 
all Find a new career All right So uh we we all   know internally that Jeff loves his wine Um so 
we decided to do a fun blind taste test of four   different very different bottles of wine Um and 
Jeff we really want to know what you think of   each one But here’s how Tyler we want to know what 
you think too Don’t worry I mean I’ll do my best   I’m more of a beer guy so it might be a little 
difficult for me So here are the rules guys So   basically we have wines one through four They’re 
all different prices They’re all different kinds   Um as soon as you drink each one tell say what you 
think about it but then write down your favorites   one through four and we’ll um we’ll reveal at the 
end of the podcast um what you what you liked and   what you didn’t So yes this would be a fun idea 
for Jeff but the stress of a me having to go find   these wines and b then opening them was beyond I 
wish I was being filmed because you guys he would   have been mortified Everybody I don’t do the wine 
thing He is our wine guy He’s known for hosting   his Petri wine nights I mean we host them And so 
this is very much out of my comfort zone I don’t   know They’re from all over right Cat They’re from 
all over I actually want to I want to know where   you think they’re from to be honest I’ve seen 
videos of her trying to open a bottle of this   comment Ty’s already doing a wine faux paw Jeff 
what does that mean Holding the holding the goblet   parts not allowed Holding the goblet I mean the 
thing is bigger than my head so it’s a little Oh   you got those craton barrel ones All right All 
right So I’m doing a sip Yeah And then tell us   tell us what you think It’s lighter Oh is Jeff 
smelling it first Yeah he’s like he’s smelling   it He’s looking at the color It smelled good but 
I don’t know if I love the taste of it Okay What   are we tasting Jeff If you’re listening and not 
watching this is some thought right here Yeah I   would go uh similar thoughts to uh not your fave 
Tyler Not not my fave Okay Lighter Any hints of   um But it smells pretty good Amber what what are 
you smelling It’s not my I know what I like and   I know what I don’t like I’m not this small where 
I’m going to tell you it’s black currant and fruit   forward but I mean and compare like compare it 
to like what you ate earlier in the day you’d   like taste this and that like when whenever you 
go to one of the wine tastings I’m going to say   I’m going to say that that is not the the after 
taste kind of sucks I’m going to say that that is   not a California cab Okay that’s see that’s great 
to know at the very end Um wine number two Jeff   as you’re you know diagnosing it can you tell us 
like how you got into wine Was it teammates Like   um it Yeah it was it was teammates Um when I 
first came into the league in Edmonton I was   going to I was going to dinners with guys on the 
team and you know they would open up a bottle of   wine and I would wouldn’t have any wouldn’t have 
any And then you know there’s nights that I got   stuck with the bill So I’m like why am I not 
enjoying what they’re enjoying if I’m going   to pay for it So I kind of had a little bit here a 
little bit there and then our first started asking   questions Yeah And then our first Olympic break 
we went to Napa for three days Um that was back   in 2012 To give everybody some time reference here 
that was a long time ago Yeah So we we did that My   section of the trip was Napa and then we drove 
down Highway One to uh Southern California But   from that day on I fell in love with Napa I still 
it’s my happy place Four times now And just the   the wine the food the overall just storyelling 
Being there is is incredible And I’ve got to   know a lot of wine makers owners of um wineries 
and just the stories that they tell when you’re   sitting down tasting their wines is gives you a 
a much greater appreciation for what comes out of   the bottle Well I asked Julie what some of your 
favorite wines were and I was like do I have to   drive to Napa to like go to some private seller 
to get get one of I mean I can’t even imagine how   many wine clubs you’re in Like you probably like 
every what every 3 months or whatever you get like   the shipment to the door You’re like “Oh the fall 
and spring are living here in Michigan.” Tyler   they only ship your wine in October So October 
is our heavy uh shipment month and it is absurd   His wine collection allows me to to not feel bad 
about any purchases Let’s just say that His wine   club membership is Oh he’s taking notes Oh Oh I 
love that He’s writing notes Oh he he says number   two Cheap Oh 100% I think for uh for us whenever 
we would go up to Napa it would it’s always funny   like we would go in and be like we’re not going to 
join the the wine club Like we have to stay strong   Yeah Stay strong And then there’s like one of the 
four or five that you taste and it’s like and then   obviously you have your buzz and it’s like you 
come back and like you were saying like you you   have the shipment or like you have the email and 
it’s like I did it again like I I could you’re   like this tasted a lot better there It tastes the 
whole experience of being there and everything   I’ve opened bottles that I’ve not that I’ve been 
to clubs but I’ve bought bottles when I went and   then I come home and I open them like what was 
I thinking I don’t really like this anymore Well   the sharks the sharkies are big on Napa So that’s 
something fun that we have in our backyard kind of   So yeah that is dangerous and lucky I can’t even 
imagine Yeah it would it would I don’t know what   what your off days would look like Okay number 
three It’s This is much much darker So you’re   excited Yes Okay we’ll taste it I mean this is Can 
I Can we talk about what my judgment is on the The   other ones were much lighter Yes I want to hear 
the beer guy’s judgment That was my favorite of   the three so far But two for sure is got to be 
the worst one And if it’s the expensive bottle   I’m going to lose my mind The expensive bottle is 
not always the best bottle Actually like never is   Never done it We’ve done a We’ve done a tasting 
where I had everybody come over put their bottle   in a brown paper bag at the start and I think we 
put like a $50 any $50 and under and then I put a   $200 bottle in and it came in dead last No way 
That’s how That’s how it is I mean some people   that don’t know they did you try it Yeah this 
is the best one by far Question So you kind of   brought up team dinners while we’re doing this 
So obviously if you’re the one ordering the wine   you’re probably the one that’s the the etiquette 
is you’re buying the dinner Um sometimes most   but the the crew I had this year we agreed on it 
kind of Yeah they always gave me they always gave   me the wine list and said “Pick something that we 
like.” And there was a couple guys that liked Pino   and then there was a couple guys that liked cab So 
I had to try to find a happy medium So it took And   then when you guys do your uh rookie party are you 
the one that does the order for it Um or is that   kind of I mean I guess that’s kind of everyone 
kind of orders their own I guess this year we did   it at a steakhouse and there wasn’t I mean there 
was maybe five or six guys that were drinking wine   so we just kind of all picked a bottle drink 
it We didn’t have like a pre but you’ve had   parties in the past where Yeah But in Montreal In 
Montreal But I would say the I mean Brian Doomland   um he has by far the best wine knowledge I’ve ever 
come across Interesting Um he it’s it’s incredible   how he can tell you the notes and this and that 
and um the regions and things like that So it was   you met your match in Pittsburgh Oh yeah I mean 
I’m not anywhere close Like I said I know what I   like I know what I don’t like and I always want to 
learn more about it Taste that one It smells like   smokey Yeah that one that definitely smells Do 
you want to write down your in in order I mean we   could probably just tell you right now but we’ll 
wait because we’ve we’ve done a lot of this wine   talk Um so write down your favorites Um and then 
we’ll go from there Number one Okay Okay Yeah Um   I’m shocked we got Ty to sip some wine because 
he’s had the scaries all week because he had a   fun weekend last weekend Yes Tyler you had a very 
exciting weekend on the on the other coast Well   I mean it kind of happened real quick and I kind 
of forced myself I was we’re on a group chat with   uh with the Quicks and Jackie is the biggest 
Knicks fan and I can’t tell by her Instagram Yeah   She’s been like hitting me up She’s like come to 
It was like round one or maybe against the Celtics   and she’s like come to game four or whatever and I 
was like definitely not And it ended up happening   where it was like what was that Wednesday night 
It was the night before Ty was leaving and she   was like let’s try and get tickets She was like 
“You you got to come.” And I was like “I mean if   if you can get the tickets I’ll actually come.” 
We looked at flights and I I went solo because   because there were only you could only get like 
the Rangers can only really ask for a plus one   right So like obviously Quicky’s going with Jackie 
and then they’re like “Oh but Ty you can be Matt   Rempy’s date.” Cuz he cuz Rams lived with them for 
uh for the last uh last season there So yeah Rempy   is the quicks child Allah our children Wilmac 
So um it was funny because Ty posted that photo   Actually Ty flew there not knowing he even had 
a ticket yet Just worked out and then it ended   up working out and it was it was a good time I 
got back Sunday but I was planning on taking the   uh the week off which normally I’m super clean and 
I mean Jeff you know how it is You’re clean all   week eating healthy you know at the beginning of 
the summer you’re like trying to lose the weight   from after the season and during the season and 
um so I was gonna take the week off but obviously   I had to make the exception for never offsides 
group Yeah So Ty Ty posted that photo with Quickie   and Remy and Wow The not like Yeah I would assume 
you’re hanging out with a bunch of rangers being   a devil you know for devils and devils and kings 
probably a little bit right cuz there’s right like   Rangers I mean it’s really cool That was the 
first time obviously um going there and seeing   a basketball game and then I mean normally we’re 
playing I don’t think I ever was scratched for a   game there So um just like the energy in in the 
building was was super cool Very fascinating I   don’t even know Jackie is going to kill me But 
who are the Knicks even playing I don’t even   know what is going on The Pacers and they lost 
the game that I was at So it’s a hard ticket to   get That’s why Ty flew across the country for it 
Literally The Indiana Pacers Yeah Right Correct   Okay cool Speaking of sports speaking of pranks 
I have a prank for both of you Oh are you ready   for this Jeff you’re a baseball guy so we love 
pranks right Yep Okay both of you pull up your   phones tea up a text to Cole Caulfield and text 
him “Hey buddy I have a quick question Can you   FaceTime me real quick?” And I want both of 
you to send it at the same time and see who   he facetimes first I mean I’m not going to answer 
him if he calls me I’ll be completely honest We   have to think about we Okay so Julie and I were 
talking about how one of the funniest persons   you guys have played with in common obviously 
is Cole So ready Three two one go Oh this is   fun Okay I just love stuff like this because I 
mean Let’s see Like oh my gosh where is But if   he if he calls one of you if he calls one of you 
tell him right away he’s on a podcast We don’t we don’t want some sort of like you know weird 
chirp that he might say right away I also knowing   Cole too he might not you know even text me back 
for Well I feel like he’s gonna like be like   “What’s going on?” Tyler and Jeff 5:27 p.m our 
time Let’s see how many minutes till one of us   get you mean like Tyler said it could go two weeks 
or it could be 30 seconds Well guess what In two   weeks on this podcast we can report back Perfect 
timing We’ll be coming back for a midsummer a   midsummer episode We pulled the last few um weeks 
as we’re waiting for this I was I was really   hoping it would be like a 10-second thing and he’d 
somehow call both of you right away I don’t know   Um but um so we pulled a couple fan questions 
or actually a lot of fan questions We got a lot   for you guys A lot There was one fan who who what 
was her name Shout out to Kristen from Purdue She   wrote us a novel Like literally it was insane 
Maybe a 100 plus questions But they were so   funny and so thoughtful So I mean just like some 
questions that you guys probably have never heard   which is unheard of I’ve never heard or even would 
think of like okay do you skate in your dreams and   do you ever play hockey in your dreams I have 
especially if like it’s like a like a playoff   game or something or like an important game and 
it’s not because I want to it’s more like anxiety I think I’ve had like dreams where I’m playing 
or sitting on the bench and something happens   and the puck is coming straight for my face and 
then I pop up like I’ve had it happen to me with   hockey pucks coming at my face and baseballs and 
oh my god kind of like when you fall like during   like a falling dream craziest road trip or travel 
story I’ll start with you Jeff Do you have so many   Oh last year it’s by far the craziest one Um yeah 
we were flying we had a backtoback we were flying   from Detroit to Toronto and it was really windy 
So we had uh plane troubles We turned around we   land drink number three Sorry We landed um they 
sent us home like we’ll fly out in the morning   The part wasn’t going to get there in time the 
next day So we were just sitting at our hanger   waiting for a another plane to come in We were 
supposed to play in Toronto at 7 I think we took   off from Detroit at 5 p.m 5:00 p.m the day of the 
game So they But you guys had come home the night   before like all of the wives and girlfriends 
are kind of like freaked out because we’re not   expecting them to come back into the house Oh you 
know in the middle of the night and then they’re   like “Yeah we’re leaving again tomorrow at 2.” So 
then that happens They don’t leave till 5 Their   game’s at 7 Yeah So we get in there we basically 
roll into the rink at 6:30 and they push the game   back to 7:30 for us It’s like you’re back in the 
American League Vancouver’s Vancouver was already   there So like their trainers Toronto trainers 
are unloading the truck getting our equipment   in and we go out and we play That part was kind 
of cool though to see like they actually had   video footage of like all the trainers working 
together to like get their stuff ready for them   to be on the ice in 45 minutes Yeah Wow And then 
we were supposed to we were supposed to fly from   Toronto after the game to Florida wake up in 
Florida you know nice sunny weather day off   The pilots of the plane that we got were had 
their limit on hours So then we had to stay   flew to flew to Florida had the day off Guys had 
to cancel their their tea times and things like   that you know So then we play Florida we fly 
to Carolina and we’re flying play that game   We’re flying home this part and it like makes my 
heart hurt again Eating on the plane and all of   a sudden my throat gets really scratchy And Jeff 
has a deadly reaction to nuts He has a nut allergy   that he sometimes tells people I mean everybody 
around the team knows Everybody knows And so it   starts getting scratchy So I go up to the trainer 
He’s like “Well what did you eat?” And I said “I   just had this.” Like “I had the soup.” And he’s 
like “That’s weird.” So I go back Doesn’t get any   better I give myself my EpiPen go back up there 
tell the trainer Wasn’t getting better still And   we’re mid-flight Yeah You’re like above Kentucky 
so give myself another epipen They decide “Okay   we’re going to emergency land.” Emergency land 
No back up He gives himself a second epien And   then it’s not getting better and they’re they’re 
on the phone with like the aviation doctors that   have to like call a medical landing and they’re 
like “We have one more dose of epinephrine on the   flight We can give it to you and we can probably 
get back to Detroit.” But it then you run a risk   of like a heart issue because you’ve been you know 
doped up with three doses of epinephrine So of   course they’re like “We’re gonna land this plane 
in Cincinnati.” Yeah Cincinnati airport but it was   actually in Kentucky get off get in the ambulance 
go to the hospital spend the night in the hospital   wake up the next morning The first flight out the 
next morning’s completely full to Detroit The next   one’s not till like noon Were you like mortified 
or was everyone like like terrified You know what   I mean Like which one Well the plane went on So 
like the guys landed I woke up to um I woke up to   a phone call cuz his phone number is on like the 
breakthrough the do not disturb thing So I wake   up to a phone call from Jeff at 2 in the morning 
and it immediately like I get that panic that we   all don’t want to feel when they’re traveling back 
and it’s their trainer and he’s like “Julie Jeff   is fine but he is in an ambulance right now.” 
And I was just like lost it Whatever Dylan the   captain is texting me playbyplay He’s like he’s 
stable this that Then I finally talk to you once   you’re at the hospital and stable Stable and then 
I’m like “Well how are you going to get back?”   Because the team had like finally taken off again 
They probably didn’t land here till 4 Yeah cuz it   was another snowstorm So they had to get deiced 
again after they landed And so and Jeff being Jeff   is like feeling bad that he had to make them like 
wait That’s kind of why I asked that because I was   like I feel like Jeff you probably even though you 
were like struggling you probably felt bad right   Yeah Like I didn’t want to land but I also needed 
to probably smart that I did So anyway anyway the   next day he had to moral of the story he rented 
a car and drove himself back to Detroit at 6 in   the morning after he was cleared Wow Yeah That is 
insane And that was all all on one road trip It   was Tyler You got anything to follow that one up 
with I mean to follow that up Jeff almost dying Uh   I think just like a funny one for me is uh when 
I was on the Kings we we would always have like   really good fatherships and we we I think we had 
fathership in Florida So it was like Tampa then   Fort Lauderdale and um all the you know it’s it’s 
dinners every night It was like it ended up being   like three or four nights and um we had like the 
big dinner the one night and all the dads ended up   going out after and I just know they all signed 
up for like a big fishing tour the next day and   from what I understand like my dad loves coming to 
like the pregame skates and stuff so he was like   he wasn’t going he was coming to the skate and 
so he’s on the bus and he’s like Ty you’ll never   believe this of like the 20 guys that of dads and 
brothers that signed up four of them showed up and   like the guys in the the guys that ended end up 
going on were like puking the whole time because   it was like one of those deep sea fishing ones So 
it’s not it’s not fun especially when you’re hung   over and that’s just one of the father trips that 
was always like it’s like in my brain of just like   a good memory It’s so cute It’s just like them 
being kids again too with and getting to go out   and Yeah it’s fun I know I love that I always love 
hearing like the parents trips the dad’s trips   like their their new besties that they’ve like 
got close with and then they see each other you   know at a few games down the road It’s really cute 
Tyler I feel like you are more into this world of   like the chirping on the ice Um maybe I’m wrong 
but I just feel like Jeff is quiet and subdued   and like just says hi to the guys he knows on the 
ice But what is the most unhinged chirp you have   ever given or received or just something funny on 
the ice that you can share I mean I’m relatively   reserved too I I try not say very much Um I think 
I I can’t remember who who it was I I called   someone old one time and I was like I was like 
you know my first or second year in the league and   I got to the bench and and Jeff Carter you know 
heard it and he said to me he goes “You know what   You’re going to be old one day too I think I don’t 
think you should use that one again.” I was like   “Well the jokes.” I was like “Now what’s happened 
It is.” That was so pure though You’re old Yeah It   was just like It was something so stupid But the 
funniest the funniest chirp I’ve ever heard was uh   we were in Ottawa and guys we’re taking warm-ups 
and guys skate around with no helmets on and it’s   just like in my opinion like the best thing in the 
NHL you know like that was like growing up it was   like if you could go no helmet and in warm-ups 
in the NHL like you’re the coolest guy And Kyle   Clifford was skating around with no with no helmet 
on and Bobby Ryan skated by him and said and I   don’t know if they knew each other or not but he 
goes “Cliffy we’re trying to get fans here not   scare them away Put your helmet on.” And I heard 
it and I I honestly I thought it was the funniest   thing And I mean it was just Oh man It was really 
That was comedy That was the best one I for sure   heard Love to hear what he said back I don’t think 
he said I think he laughed because it was so funny   it I just feel like the guys who give the chirps 
like they’re so clever and like quickwitted It’s   It has me howling every time you have a story 
about someone Yeah I can’t think of any that   come to my mind but Oh Oh wait guys I got the 
face Got to answer Gotcha Oh God You’re on a   You’re on a podcast I’ll talk to you later 
No No Turn it Turn it Turn it No I can’t   I’ll talk to you later I’ll talk to you later 
Bye I can’t He’s He’s He’s not uh available He’s at a private dinner Say hi to Jeff Here we 
are Okay Well you guys keep it on You guys keep   it on What Why are you guys scared to answer Well 
you’re on our podcast real quick Hi She’s Hello   We wanted to see who you loved better Yeah I’m in 
second place That’s all right Oh no Oh no You’re   good Enjoy your night Oh no He goes “Oh no.” 
I’m like I’m like sweating now Yeah I know I’m   a little warm too I think it’s the wine though 
That’s so funny cuz he’s like feels bad that he   didn’t call you Yeah That’s funny Oh sweet Cole 
I mean Cole he’s actually I I I was just talking   to him two days ago So Who do you think Okay so 
back to our chirping Cole we’ll talk about later   We’ve got another cool um topic there Um who is 
like one of the best chirpers or the best chirper   in the league I feel silly saying chirper I don’t 
know I know We need to think of like Yeah I don’t   even trash talker I wouldn’t say he’s the best but 
he never shuts up his is doubty I mean I feel like   everyone knows that and then he follows it with 
that crazy laugh Yeah He just laughs at you and   it’s like You’ve never had something somebody 
Oh I’ve had people but I just It doesn’t bother   me So I just It doesn’t like register and stick 
with me Oh here’s a question for both of you And   then Julie I want your response too and I’ll tell 
my response Um Jeff who would play you in a in a movie Have you ever thought about this No Oh and 
I’m so bad with actors Uh yeah that one guy Oh   that guy The um the the Thor guy Yeah Uh I’m 
giving you like real big credit here but Chris   Hemsworth Oh is that the guy you always want me to 
get my haircut Yeah I always send Chris Hemsworth   pictures with them to the barber and do this Oh 
my god you send the like like inspo photo Yeah he   it’s just like a nice haircut and you know I love 
that I can see it He’d have to change his accent   But Tyler I I think I think Cat was with me but um 
an older lady came up to me when we were out and   and she said that I look exactly like Patrick sees 
it and it was like an obsessive and like like she   walked by and then came back and then like walked 
by again and I was like look this is weird Like   you got to I’m going to starting to see it Where 
was that Because I remember that was a long time   ago Yeah that was when he was still in the Kings 
But she was like very hyperfixated on him actually   being Patricky So it was a little I love that for 
you What’s the What’s dirty dancing Dirty dancing   Dirty Yeah Um Okay And who I think could Okay So 
personality completely aside accent aside whole   vibe aside I get a lot of friends in the music 
industry saying that Tyler looks like Morgan   Wallen with his hat on So I could see that Yeah 
Again nothing like each other but I just when Ty   has his little hat on and they have the same exact 
outfit on it’s very weird Actually if you like   that Yeah There is an old picture of Jeff with 
We’re going musician route Um Justin Timberlake   and Jeff at one point had a I will pull it up and 
I will find it but it was uncanny with the shaved   head and a little bit of the beard It was It was 
quite impressive JT and JP I mean these are good   ones guys Like we could we could have Who would 
play us Oh god Who would play us Terrible with   actors Yeah Okay never mind Next question Um 
we never even asked you that What is the most   random thing y’all have ever autographed Tyler go 
first Someone I mean I’ve sent like a baby’s arm   I thought that was kind of weird That is weird 
Like also that ink going into the skin That’s   what I’m thinking Yeah I was going to say that I 
mean I was uncomfortable doing it Have you signed   Simmon’s boot No Oh no Thank God No And a boot 
A boot Somebody pulled off their boot Um that’s   kind of a good one though That’s like a good That 
was an really random He had like just had nothing   else and then just rips off his boot and had like 
three or four of us Was that in Edmonton Yeah Yeah   That that tracks absolutely In reflecting about 
just you guys together in Montreal and all that   You probably haven’t been asked about this in 
a while and I kind of needed a refresher Um and   some fans asked this for you to explain exactly 
what happened that gave you the red demon eyes   I was trying to find your shirt with the two red 
eyes but I think they’re all in the storage Yeah   that’s all in storage Uh it was game three against 
Winnipeg in the second round Mhm I was going down   down down the glass and I think it was Stazzney 
was coming to like hit me and I put my hand on the   glass and to like push off and I put my hand right 
into the camera hole and the momentum just snapped   my finger Oh Um so finished the period got an 
X-ray and they’re like “Yeah you need to get this   look like fixed or looked at and I knew if I got 
the surgery my playoffs were done.” Um we ended   up winning game three so we were in a pretty good 
position to go to the conference final So you know   go go to the doctor the next day I said “What if 
I try to play with this is it going to get worse?”   He said “At the end you’ll just have to have 
surgery.” And I was like “So I can do the surgery   today or I can try and have the surgery later.” 
And he’s like “Yeah.” He’s like “I wouldn’t play   the rest of this series Let’s splint it put it in 
the cast for a week until the next series starts.”   So he basically just held it to where it lined 
back up They started to put the cast things on   but it was so painful when they were just holding 
it in place that I passed out and like he held his   breath as they were doing it so hard that he like 
No And then when I was I guess when I was I don’t   know the story Okay When I was passed out I was 
I kept trying to sit up and they were like kind   of holding me down and just like the pressure of 
me trying to move popped all the blood vessels in   my eyes face face It wasn’t Yeah People didn’t see 
him for a couple days but his whole face was like   broken splotches like purple splotches So he tells 
me that all this happens and I come home to him   laying in our bed not knowing like what has 
happened And I walked in and I was like “What   just happened to you?” And then so I had the 
boys and I had to like prep them So I’m like   “Okay dad looks like kind of like a superhero.” 
Oh yeah I remember the superhero Yeah I was like   “So something happened in his game and he just got 
all this stuff and now he looks like a really like   and he’s going to be ready for the next round but 
he’s like got superpowers.” which was which was   the crazy thing was like I took a couple days off 
but then I started skating while the team was like   not with the team but we started the series like 
a week after that and the media had no shots or   anything up until I took the ice for warm-ups um 
in game and game two and you just had laser beams   coming and it was like starting to go away by then 
was like his face looked better but your eyes were   pretty like bloody Yeah Like come on We could pull 
up the pictures but what was the I the internet   broke that night Like I was we were watching from 
home and I remember like putting out like uh like   a memo or like something like he’s okay Well and 
I remember coming these guys coming off the ice   after winning game four and I showed up right at 
game time and they were like “What the what the   hell just happened?” Like what was your reaction I 
mean I thought it was nasty So I was like you know   I was like scared but I was like like are you okay 
As everybody probably was because everyone like   we like we didn’t know like we didn’t even like 
you broke your finger Exactly We didn’t know what   happened and I don’t think like anybody was really 
told you know so no and every all the reports were   like he like put his his finger went in the camera 
well and like no there was like no explanation for   your eyes so that like and Jeff being Jeff he just 
doesn’t really talk or tell anybody what’s going   on So he’s like I’m fine I look like a psycho 
but I’m fine I mean it added to the whole thing   I feel like that whole that whole run was so crazy 
that that wasn’t even the weirdest thing You know   what I mean Honestly like the memes like the memes 
that we saved were like I feel like I have a whole   album to it but like you said it was like the 
rest of the cup run and and everything It like it   was all part of this crazy story Yeah It added to 
like there was you with your laser beam eyes There   was GI with like the crazy like Yeah you got the 
cut on the forehead or whatever it was And then   Perry had blood coming out of somewhere Yeah 
that was wild Somebody like painted a picture   of the three of them It’s in our basement of like 
and it’s just kind of like their heads and like   Jeff’s got red eyes Perry’s got blood coming Gi’s 
got a g it’s it’s artistic but it’s like what was   this time And we all didn’t really know each 
other yet So shortly after you guys were um you   were opponents Was that weird I mean like we kind 
of talked about with like the chirping like we I   think like the first time we played against each 
other it was like “Hey,” and then like we went on   with the game It was like “Yeah we have a couple 
questions that were asked of you guys to ask us.”   So I’m going to shift over Yeah This is kind of 
like a how well do we know your situation Yeah   So can you tee it off Ty Who did we score our 
first goals against There’s probably zero Uh I   mean I play like teams Teams Teams We’re not like 
doing goalie Okay Yeah Duh Okay Um teams Jeff’s It   is this the AHL or the NHL NHL NHL Um I think the 
Dallas Stars was Jeff’s Correct Yeah it’s correct   I’m right Okay Well it’s easy to remember because 
I’m from Texas So well you also were together at   the time so yeah I should remember this I should 
know this There’s probably a plaque somewhere   down in our basement There’s definitely a plaque 
Um I don’t know but I’m going to guess because   there’s just always you always have like a thing 
with them Is the Canucks No I’m going to say the   Ducks just because it’s I feel like early on 
in the season you’re playing the Ducks It was   the Arizona Coyotes I was going to say Arizona out 
loud but I didn’t Who was our hockey idol growing   up This is my question to you Nick Ledstrom 
Okay that was quick He was a defenseman for   the Detroit Red Wings Cat One of the best of all 
time Number five Great I only know that because I   was number five in field hockey so I thought that 
was serendipitous you know That is nice And I love   that you knew that right away Um can you give me 
a hint Played for the Leafs growing up Oh god I   couldn’t even tell you a Leaf growing up I mean 
I I didn’t really I never really had one so like   I’ll just say it because it’s not fair I mean it 
would be Matt Sundine if I were to know Would have   never guessed it Cat we were both out of this out 
of that Does that also mean you grew up a Leafs   fan Because we had a lot of people ask that I mean 
I I definitely grew up a Leaf fan I thought we saw   a little baby picture of him in Montreal stuff 
Was that not I played I played bonner hockey for   a junior the junior Canadian so that was the 
baby stuff But I mean my dad was a huge lease   fan growing up Which teammate would be the best 
babysitter or dog sitter Mario Ferraro because   he’s a big dog guy and he I feel like he would 
just like play with Stella non-stop because he’s   got a ton of energy So yeah I agree with that What 
about you Jules Babysitter from our current team I   I honestly would put Dylan Lurin now They just had 
a baby girl They just announced that and I’ve seen   him change diaper and I know how funny he is with 
the older boy So he’s got like the whole thing So   I think I’m going to go with Dylan’s the front 
runner cuz I know he can change a diaper Diaper   changing is a key element and if they can’t 
do it then I don’t even think Tyler could do   that So they out So anyways that’s funny There’s I 
know there will be a lot of upset um you know not   picked guys but sorry We have a bonus question Ty 
for you to ask Which is more Jeff’s career assists   or Tyler’s career goals Oh that’s a really hard 
one Actually I’m gonna say Tyler’s goals Jeff’s   career assist your career goals What’s your answer 
I would think that would be Jeff’s assist I would   think that too Whoa Oh my god That’s crazy Oh 
Tyler has 290 career goals and Jeff has 289 career   assists Wow Live from the NHL HQ We just got that 
mindblowing Oh my god That That’s That takes us to   um the next one by one Wow Incredible Wild 
actually and very cool Wow Shout out Maddie   for that that stat for that’s a great fun fact Um 
I guess we’ll be on goals and assist watch leading   into the next season and and keep our tallies 
Literally every time one happens we’ll just have   to be like we can have like a little tracker Ding 
That’s funny Oh my god All right So I love uh to   ask this at this question at team parties There’s 
two different games I love to ask at a team party   but this is the first one Um would you rather 
And then put two like very funny instances So   we kind of tied it back to hockey a little bit Um 
so Julia you want to tee up the first one Yeah So   would you rather be locked in a room for 24 hours 
with the Montreal victory song Al playing for 24   hours nonstop or be with Cole for 24 hours nonstop 
with him talking I mean I love Cole I got to go   with Cole Yeah I go with Cole No that’s sweet A 
good I’m glad that was a happy that was that was   a pretty easy one That was okay Well I don’t know 
Just cuz I I mean I haven’t even really hung out   with Cole so it’s like you know Okay You’d love to 
spend Yeah Yeah Okay Would you rather be caught on   camera eating a hot dog or fall on the ice during 
something like a pup runs Yeah Like when you bring   your dogs on like we’ve never done it with our 
teams but you bring their dogs to the ice or   something like when the dogs race where like if 
we did a team picture you know um I’d eat the hot   dog I’d figure it out I would I’d figure it out 
Okay The hot dog is my worst nightmare especially   like coming from like baseball cuz like you know 
if those are always on the jumbotron I like them   now during games when they do it like reverse Oh 
my god It’s It’s my worst nightmare cuz if you’re   in the good seats at a baseball game you are on 
camera and it’s really really like I like you   know what I mean So it’s like my I I think in 
terms of thinking of like you guys chirping us   and them or whatever I think um I would take the 
fall and just be like I’m not used to ice like you   know what I mean I think I think the hot dog’s my 
worst nightmare That would be like so terrifying   Funny Um okay last one Um would you rather have 
your draft day photo as your forever player head   shot or have to do an interview between every 
period of every game for an entire season I mean I think my draft I think my my photo 
is kind of jokes I have like a shaved head   and stuff like my combine photo is something 
special Which Tyler have you seen it Is that   the blonde hair one Yeah we Let me show him 
real quick I would love his reaction Let’s   see But you guys show Julie show Jeff the curtain 
because the curtain’s like diabolical too So I’ve   seen that I’ve seen that So Tyler’s draw photo Oh 
god Jeff Yeah We had uh we bleached our hair for   that photo the playoffs and junior and then that’s 
joke I would pay money to have that photo wiped   from the internet Who is that Who is he It is bad 
you guys All we know is that he ages like fine   wine So yeah this is a good it’s a good outcome 
Jeff So like we’re happy that this wasn’t like a   reverse thing but um what was your answer I didn’t 
hear you Sorry I’m taking the photo Oh okay Do an   interview for a lot of It’s a lot of Oh my gosh 
Julie would just like sink in her seat after It’s   bad It’s It’s I just can’t even believe they just 
do you dirty every year They bring it up They like   they played at the beginning of the year I’m like 
“Can we not Can we We could find like his Edmonton   rookie picture and put that there It’s not that 
much better to be quite honest.” But that’s a   wild haircut just regardless Jack Like is it even 
haircut Yeah I don’t know why Is it a haircut cat   Like it’s questionable What What is that It’s a 
mop of sorts I don’t even It kind You look like   like a Scooby-Doo characters I have to I’ll pull 
up the photo of we won the championship that year   I’ll pull up the photo of my hair before that Was 
it permed No it was really long Like covered name   bar long Okay Bonus question Oh yeah Well I 
was Yeah Bonus question for both of you Would   you rather be a guest on the podcast each week 
or listen to the Montreal song for 24 hours I   mean I love the boys that run the account and the 
podcast but I I think I’m going with the 24 hours Oh my god Okay let’s sign off We’re going to 
play our last I would I would join you and I   would just like I don’t know I love that song I 
thought it was I love it every time We still play   it The boys still play it in the basement when 
they’re playing hockey and they score goals So   yeah I love it Anyways um Okay Well last question 
on that Jeff Have they ever done one of those like   NHL you know sometimes they do like the through 
the years like slideshow on their account of like   you from the beginning to like now No they haven’t 
I haven’t seen one He’s not cool enough but the   evolution would be amazing Yeah I feel like that 
would be good And um NHL social is on it Don’t   do Ty though cuz Ty they did it the Oh oh Ty had 
one I didn’t know that I I don’t know if they’ve   they’ve done it but they’ve done like a like draft 
photo to now So like the two Oh boy I just they   did one of those ones where it was like you on 
every team and it was like a lengthy post but   um yeah together for you would love a Jeff Petri 
one NHL Okay to wrap things up this is another   great game that we love to play at a team party 
just to get to know especially when you’re trying   to get to know people Um two truths and a lie Um 
so we’re both going to say ours you both going to   say ours and then we’ll guess each other’s Not all 
guess each others We’ll So you guys can go first   and we’ll guess which one’s your lie By the way 
teing up this this was the hardest game for the   Petri to figure out ever because they know not 
good at this Actually Jeff was really good at   coming up with his I just I do not know really 
how to play this game but um because you don’t   lie So like you were really you were really hung 
up on like lying to us which is horrible but All   right Um don’t read them Just say them I turned 
down a baseball scholarship to Vanderbilt We named   our son after a complete stranger and I graduated 
from Michigan State with a criminal justice degree   I want to say that you’re lying about what your 
degree was Okay I’m only going with the first   one because it’s obvious in my opinion because 
you’re a son of a baseball player so I’m going   to go with the Vanderbilt one and maybe you got 
an offer somewhere else That is the lie He did   not receive a baseball scholarship but we did 
name our son after a complete stranger from our   honeymoon I figured that that was that was the 
truth because it’s like it was like so out there   that I don’t so out there Like how do you come 
up with that Who’s the stranger We met this guy   actually from LA Yeah you might know him Yeah his 
name is Barrett Hawkins And no if you’re listening   we’re a bunch of weirdos We met him named Willa 
on our honeymoon and he gave us his business card   and we’re like “Okay but a little bit of backstory 
like this guy was funny as hell He was like he was   with his family but then he would like magically 
reappear like at night like late at night and   we’re like I thought you like were in for the 
night and he’s like I snuck out the window like   he was just this funny guy like just free living 
spirit you know and then he gave us his card and   I read it and I was like Barrett Hawkins that is 
like the coolest name I’ve ever heard If we have   a son one day like we got to name him this and our 
second born is named Barrett Hawkins Petri So when   are you gonna tell him Tell Bear that he’s named 
or or message this guy on LinkedIn I think tell   Barrett that he was he was a honeymoon Yeah you’re 
Yeah it’s it’s funny We didn’t name our first kid   It was you know this the afterthought the second 
one But that’s really funny And he did major he   graduated from Michigan State a few years late 
Oh yeah Um but with your criminal justice degree   Very cool Wow We bought Selene Dion’s manager’s 
house in Montreal I have had dinner with a former   president of the United States And I actually 
grew up figure skating in Texas I believe the   second one I kind of believe them all What if she 
just misunderstood the assignment and she just um   Yeah it could be actually like just they’re all 
true You’re like the lie is that I can’t lie Um   I want to say your line about the figure skating 
I agree Figure skating your line I did not figure   skate right I don’t know That was stupid But no 
those are really good And I mean I just Yeah I   believe I mean the Selen one’s very cool I think 
you told us that story So that’s it stuck with   you Yeah Yeah The thought of her like being in 
my house at one point was like pretty cool That   is cool I mean and who’s the president Uh George 
Bush Actually both of them I mean you can’t be   from Texas and make that lie up I feel like you 
True Yeah I mean that’s funny That’s very cool   Um all right You want me to go with mine Yeah I 
wanted to name Stella after the beer My favorite   fast food burger is In-N-Out And my favorite TV 
show is Top Chef I’m going to say In-N-Out is   not your favorite burger I’m gonna say Top Chef 
In-N-Out is not my favorite burger Shake Shack   And I know it’s a little controversial Shake Shack 
maybe not being fast food with the drive-thru but   I went with it And Out’s my favorite Obviously 
I’m from California but I mean how Ty just gave   you a layup with the Stella thing Yeah Thank 
you for the first one I I knew that one But now   she’s she’s speaking She heard She is speaking She 
literally just started speaking for the first time   Um that’s really funny cuz Tai actually came 
on this podcast and we explained that he named   Rogers Oh yeah Oh hi Wow She heard herself That’s 
adorable Okay I’ll I’ll be quick I’ll be quick My   maiden last name Benj is on the Eiffel Tower Uh I 
sang a national anthem at a Dodgers versus Giants   game And my favorite celebrity to work with when I 
worked for the Dodgers was Dwayne the Rock Johnson   I’m going to say the Eiffel Tower Somebody 
cancelled on you and you had to go out there   and sing the No wait What You’re saying the Yeah 
Yeah I’m saying she probably did sing the anthem   Somebody didn’t show up and she had to go and fill 
in Oh my gosh I’m so stressed I’m going to say you   didn’t sing Even though I think you’re right Well 
first of all I Jaff very smart because I booked   like thousands of national anthems for the You 
had to sing it Uh I sang in high school at a at   a Dodgers versus Giants game at Giants and then 
I went on with it was with a couple girls Okay Um   and I went on to book a billion anthems for the 
Dodgers But um my lie is that Dwayne the Rock   Johnson was my favorite celebrity to work with at 
the Dodgers because he is my favorite celebrity   and I never got to work with him He’s the only 
one Oh well that was a trick question That was   a trick one Honestly I didn’t even I didn’t even 
clue in Yeah I I always say I know so many people   in common with him I worked with everyone He is my 
favorite I I just love him and I never never got   the pleasure of the pearly if you’re listening 
Let’s get you on pod I mean that you know what   that can that is my dream guest Remember we got 
asked that a million times Yeah Dwayne the Rock   is my my dream Wow That was tricky cat Now that 
I know if we can like just tweak a couple words   in this game whole new ball game Oh I play it a 
lot You don’t like you don’t like the game but   I was so stressed Like you were stressed about 
everything I’m stressed about this and opening   these wine bottles So glad that’s over with Any 
broken corks No Thank you very much That’s funny   I actually broke one Um well final question 
before we re reveal the wine Um Jeff and Ty   uh both of your uh what were both of your initial 
reactions to us um saying that we were doing this   podcast Not this one Like in general we were we 
were going to be podcast hosts Yeah What was Jeff   What was yours Um great Just about that That’s 
how excited That’s how excited he was guys Yeah   I mean I was just like something else like not 
enough on her plate already But uh yeah with the   boys and the line change um okay a little bit more 
positivity but it’s natural It’s natural all this   thing But I know I mean she could she can talk for 
for hours So I didn’t think it was going to be a   issue like coming up or doing well with it It was 
just like you’re throwing another thing on top of   the list and the mountain of things that you’re 
already doing So well if anyone can you know ride   the wave man I was the complete opposite I’m like 
“Oh finally Cat’s gonna No I mean I think she like   she was speaking about you know doing something 
along not maybe not along these lines but um I   knew at some point something like this was going 
to happen.” So um obviously very fortunate And   then obviously you guys are killing it So well and 
then when I told you Julie was going to do it with   me you were like I mean I was like it’s literally 
going to be perfect Yeah Well thanks All right   Thanks guys Um let’s reveal the wines Ready Last
