The San Jose Sharks are so silly

The San Jose Sharks are so silly

[Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Music] It is Wednesday, December 3rd in the United States and Canada. Robert Clark is back and this is What Chaos from the Sports Interaction studio in Boston, Massachusetts. My name is Dave ID Bean. I sit beside Pete Blackburn and across the room. We’ll get into that is Sean Depaz. Hi Sean. How are you? I’m chilling, tired, sleepy. Haven’t had any coffee yet. Brother, I’ve been sleepy all week. And you know what? Some fresh Java over there. Want to get some Joe? I got to say like the the coffee the barista of the year award this season goes to Pete Blackburn. Yeah. A devotees of this show know that we had a real state-of-the-art coffee maker that was a bad dog. It was a bad horrible dog. As I described it, it’s something that DJ calls a bad dog. And everyone else is like, you need to call animal control cuz that dog’s not just bad. That dog needs to be put down. That’s a wolf that you found and tried to tried to make a dog. Several children. It made a great cup of coffee and it bit you to the point of bleeding and all of the rabies shot stores were closed. So like it was going to kill one of us at some point. Fortunately and also you got this dog from a very expensive breeder. Yes. Exactly. Fortunately before anything before the dog could do anything worse, it died. Yes. So, for a while we did not have a dog and old rescue Pete over here adopted. Didn’t shop. Just got a straightup drip machine. Just one of your like $20 things that honestly coffee machines. I’ve been in the market for one for a while. And it sucks because you don’t know if you’re getting a $500 coffee machine. Is it actually going to make a better, more consistent cup than just your plug in, get the filter, dump the water type of [ __ ] I love that machine. It’s so easy. I’m not a coffee snob. Like I I like my coffee a little bit shitty. I like it hot and it makes makes a big old steaming hot pile of bean juice and it works for me every time. Pizza man’s man. He likes his coffee hot. That’s right. Hot. That was like in uh Angels in the Outfield when the guys, can we get you anything? Oh, no, no, no. Another good Angels in the Outfield. That was an Angels in the Outfield. That was rookie of the year. That is rookie of the year. That’s um what’s his face? Uh Chris Elliott. Uh no, I think Chris Elliott is playing the hot ice guy. No, right. No, it’s um the guy from Home Alone. Daniel. Oh, you are right. Daniel Stern. Daniel Stern. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Chris Elliott, Daniel Stern have a little bit of uh kind of crossover appeal. Anyway, uh they say they’re like, “We want coffee.” Because they’re trying to get the guy to go away. You say, “How do you take it?” In cups. And they’re like, “Yeah, yeah, in cups. I’d rather a mug.” What’s that? I’d rather a mug. I’d rather a mug as well. And boy. Yeah. Who drinks coffee in cup? Well, I guess they call them coffee cups. Yeah. I mean, famously, you were on a string of drinking in a cup for a while. That disregard. Yes. Okay. Good chitchat. We have some built-in chitchat to the show today. It’s going to be a very good one. Pete, tell the folks what we’ll do today. Today on the show, let’s talk about Sean’s mad at us. Oh, at or at the US perhaps? Sean, you mad at the US? Are you mad at us? I mean, pretty consistently have problems with the US. Sean might be mad at us because of what happened in the Jersey stream last night. So, we’ll discuss that. If you didn’t catch it last night, we had our jersey stream where we unboxed from uh our new jerseys from Fanatics that we got each other mystery jerseys and Sean got his. He may not have liked it as much as we liked ours. We’ll we’ll discuss that. We’re going to get into some general glazing. I’d say that’s fair. There’s a few guys we got to like just check the box like glaze. Some days we pay bills, some days we pay respects. Yeah, we’re going to pay some respects. And I I think you know who will be discussed. I think there’s a couple of people that will be discussed uh today in Sharky. That’s going to be a good one because it’s been a it’s been an interesting week for Sharky and the San Jose Sharks. We have uh a very important update there. And then finally, after we finish wrapping on yesterday’s show, there was a quote that came out from Quinton Tarantino talking about Paul Dano and There Will Be Blood and might as well have added us. You’re Yeah, it’s crazy. And everything comes up with chaos all the time. But there will be blood just suddenly reentering like the main line of pop culture. So good. I can’t wait to talk about that later in the show. Also, we’re going to be talking about popcorn later in the show. Yes, we have an overdue popcorn conversation to have. It’s going to be very good. But let’s begin by asking, Sean mad at us? I hope everybody was able to watch the stream last night. We did our second straight year of a Fanatics premium jersey giveaway. Congratulations to Dan to whom I’ve yet to reach out. I forgot. I got to Dan, if you’re in the chat, shout out. Love you. You’re getting your Nestnikov if you want. You could still change your mind, but I think at this point, can they can he? I feel like you’re locking it in with that form. No, the form says in paren it says like uh who would you get in parenthesis you can always change this later. That’s cowardly behavior. Cowardly behavior. I think that we need to put in the form next year. Uh, we reserve the right to just do whatever we want with this. If you pick a jersey that we think is cool that we didn’t think to get, we might get that jersey ourselves. We reserve the right to pardon you from your bad jersey choice. Send him my Purka and I get the Nomesticov. Would you rather have an a Vlatislav Nomestikov jersey than a JJ Purka jersey, Sean? Sean, who we play for? Well, I know now when we play Jets. Yeah. Uh, but no. No, I probably wouldn’t. Although in the context of all of this, it would be way funnier. Okay. Well, it was an unbelievable stream. If you did not watch uh or if you’re new to the show today, hilarious. We did a stream in which the three of us picked jerseys for the other person. So, Pete and Sean picked a jersey for me. Sean and I picked a jersey for Pete. Pete and I picked a jersey for Sean. And we did not know what we were getting. We had you guess. And if you guessed correctly, we put your name on a wheel in addition to a rando and a random retweeter. Spun that wheel. It landed on uh Dan and Dan will receive the jersey of his choice. Uh it was I I’m always gonna have a special place in my heart for the first Jersey stream that we did last year. It was a lot of fun, good structure, but last night legitimately felt like reality television. And I was getting texts out the wazoo saying, “This is incredible.” I texted our guy Seth after and was like, “We are turning. I don’t know if we need to just keep doing this a million times, but we need to do more things like this because I don’t know how you all felt and I’m not just trying to get high on our own supply. I thought we did a cool thing. I thought it was a I had so much fun doing it. I laughed. I loved that we did the kind of behind the scenes taping when we picked the jerseys. Sean had the idea to show us watching those videos during the stream. I thought that went over gang busters. It was so much fun. So, thank you to everybody who is involved. The only thing is Sean mad at us. We’re gonna run through what happened on the stream last night uh in revealing who we got and we’ll build up to Shawn’s because Shawn I think is the most controversial one. Could you play? We’ll just go in order of who opened what. I was the opener. No shame in it. Here was me getting mine. I am tempted to not get him a jersey that he knows that he wants. Yeah. So that was the other thing like so my other one. Okay. The player I’m not as attached to but it is a Tyler Sean highlighter stars jersey. He deserves to have one of those jerseys. Oh that would rock. Sean would be funny. But is there a funnier is there a funnier option? Oh Ilia Leouchkin. Oh my god. I think we have to get him an Ilia Leouchkin Stars jersey. Oh my god. I think we have to have the Stars Violator jersey. Is this Bennington? We did lock in this morning that we have to be genuine and authentic about our feelings when it comes to these jerseys. We have to be honest about that. Okay. Really? Two jerseys I will say. Okay. So, what’s the one that you say I like this? Dylan Holloway. Okay. Oh, let’s [ __ ] go. Let’s [ __ ] go. Great job, boys. That was a lot of fun. And if you didn’t see everything that happened last night, that was the beginning of a pattern on which that I eventually detected and I should have figured it out in that moment. You’ll know what I’m talking about when we get to Shawn’s jersey. Here’s Pete opening his jersey. Okay. What about Leo Carlson? He doesn’t own a Ducks jersey. He likes them a lot and he’s got the online Yes. relationship. I was thinking Ducks jersey specifically. I just couldn’t attach a specific player, but I do think Peach Ducks. I’d be thrilled. And Leo is a good one. I didn’t even think of that. Oh, baby. We got a White Ducks with an A. Leo. Leo. It’s Leo. Oh, [ __ ] yeah. I’m very excited about it. Looks so good. It does. It looks really good on the set. You got the best jersey of the three of us. Can we Are we all cool saying that? I’m not positive about that. I love those Blues jerseys. Like I guess when you include the player and the fact that it’s got the A, then that probably puts it over the edge. But like just player take the player and numbers off. Like I think the Blue’s a better jersey. I definitely got the most like wholesome jersey because it’s just a guy that I like a jersey you like. Yeah. All right. Now, here was the here’s where things got a little dicey. This is Shawn opening his jersey. I don’t know that I’m in a great place with JJ Purka. So, like I don’t know that I necessarily want JJ Mammoth jersey. JJ Purka Mammoth jersey checks multiple boxes because he loves the Utah Mammoth. Loves that jersey. We don’t have one of those jerseys yet. And JJ Purka was his favorite Buffalo Saber. So getting him that for uh for Mammoth would kind of be a bittersweet tug of the emotions for him. Jesus [ __ ] God damn it. God damn it. You [ __ ] rats. First of all, calling someone a rat in a non like they’re a rat kind of way. Like Tim Hideker does that a lot. like anyone who disagrees with him on something, he just calls a rat. Yeah, a rat. I call a rat. I call my cat a rat or a rat bastard quite often. That’s so good. Now, when I say there was a a pattern that should have been detected by me and I feel like I let people down. I don’t mean to throw you under the bus, Pete, but you definitely had a more focused strategy in this project than certainly I did. I don’t know about Sean, but like you went in there aiming to get work done. Is that correct? I don’t I don’t necessarily think that. I was just thinking of like what is a what’s I guess for both of you, I was thinking what’s a player that can both be uh a pro and a con. Like Dylan Holloway to you is obviously somebody that you like and enjoy, but also is doesn’t hold the strongest positive feelings for anymore. And when we opened it up to kind of choose the other person’s jersey, we did discuss the idea like, well, do we [ __ ] with the person? And I thought this was a fun way of [ __ ] with both of you. Yeah. The way while also getting a jersey that you would still wear and enjoy. The way that you did it was in each of our cases a player we loved from one of our teams that is not on the team anymore. Correct. Yes, Sean. Um, I I genuinely am happy I got a Dylan Holloway jersey. I think that that jersey is gorgeous. I love an 81 jersey. You know, I like a number in the 80s. You did seem disappointed. Maybe that we got you a guy that was formerly your favorite player on another team, but also you seemed upset with the predictability aspect of it. Yeah, I Yeah, that’s fair. That part was the most disappointing part, I’d say. I did not think though in that moment like, oh, this will be too predictable. I I had that feeling sneaking in during the stream where it was like, oh [ __ ] like these first two reveals have been so fun and like seven total people between the two of us guessed what jersey we got correctly. And then when Purka came out, it was like we’re adding a hundred names to the wheel because everybody knew that Sean was going to get JJ Purka. So that’s where my disappointment was. Like I’m still like whether or not you’re excited. I’m excited that you have a JJ Purka Mammoth jersey. So like I don’t care about your feelings, Sean. [ __ ] take your jersey. I mean, you were getting me the jersey, so it was ultimately up to you. But I also do understand that like the disappointment. Like if you got me a Brad Marshian Panthers jersey, I’d be like, “Fuck.” But that that’s also because I hate the Panthers jerseys. Like if if it was the uh winter classic jersey, I’ i’d be pretty excited about it. There’s also an aspect of it where it’s like uh the Leo one I guess not as much but like I can’t imagine that you would have gone to buy yourself a Dylan Holloway jersey DJ and like I I never would have bought a JJ Purka jersey but like I would have bought myself a Utah Mammoth jersey. So, there was definitely a part of me that was like, it would have been cool to get something that I wouldn’t have gotten myself, but like I’m not upset. It’s a free jersey. I can’t be mad about that. And in a vacuum, it is a good jersey, but I do feel like ultimately the jersey that I got was the least interesting of the three. Okay, this is where I am maybe dipping into some bad behavior. I was thinking this morning about being like Do we buy Sean an I’m sorry jersey? No. I need someone to say the game. Yeah. Right. Like it’s not a fun game and like the st you take away the stakes if you say yeah sorry we kind of did you dirty. I will say also I was the one that didn’t want us to do that. Like prior when we were deciding whether or not we would we could mess with people. I was the one saying that we shouldn’t do that. What? Messing with people. Yeah. And then ultimately I was the one that got messed with. You showed weakness. He got messed with too. Yeah. But he got a good jersey. Yeah. I’m also not I I don’t uh act like this is any sort of virtue for me. It’s just a statement of fact. I am less of a hater than you. And I’m a lot less um kind of categorical in my fandom where like when you say uh like you would never wear a Senator’s jersey or something like I’ve worn a Canadians t-shirt before and I’ve been like this is kind of funny bought two Canadians jerseys last year. That was actually we said that specifically. It was cut out of the edit, but like specifically there’s a point in our mine and Pete’s discussion about your jersey where we said that you are not like or Pete and I where we’ve said like we won’t wear specific jerseys. Mhm. Like you you I’m a pushover. You two have principles. I I guess that’s one way. At least you didn’t get an illekin jersey because we tried. We tried. That would have been seriously very tough. Yeah, we we legitimately tried to get an Ilia Leouchkin jersey and they were like we can’t make these. So, you did not get an illegal has too big a track record with not wearing his jersey. So, we don’t make them. Also kind of lucky that you did not get a Tyler Sean jersey as recommended by Sean because you would have faced some allegations had you got a Tyler Sean jersey and then he immediately got injured. Tyler Sean ACL injury is out for the remainder of the season. That guy just like had worst luck. So, this sucks and this is a million years old and no one’s going to care about this, but I believe when Tyler Sean was either a rookie or his second year, Joe McDonald, then of ESPN reported, Sean has a hip condition that’s going to be a problem throughout his career. And he got so much [ __ ] for it because nobody else knew about it. Nobody else was reporting it. And he caught so much [ __ ] for it and he was like, “Sorry, I’m a reporter. I learned this thing. I know this thing. He’s gonna have some injury issues over the course of his career. Doesn’t mean he’s not going to be a great player, but like this is something that might affect him over the course of his career. I know this is an ACL, but Sean’s injury issues over the years have [ __ ] broken my heart. Yeah, it sucks. It sucks so bad. Um, so hopefully it’s this is not the end for Tyler Sean. Hopefully, uh, can work his way back, but just sucks to see a guy head back to long-term injured reserve after kind of working his way out of that out of that place for uh for a long time. And there’s always a thing of when he comes back, you’re like, “All right, now we can be good.” Because he’s also just like an unbelievable athlete. So even if something’s recurring and even if things keep popping up, you’re like, “At some point, they’re going to be healthy for a long stretch.” And it’s so weird. I feel I feel ancient to say that Tyler Sean’s getting up there in age, but that’s just the the fact of the matter. I hope he comes back. I hope he keeps going because really like that guy his first couple years in Dallas was on Hall of Fame watch. Yeah. Bummer, bummer, bummer. Um, all in all, Jersey stream a success. A, thank you to Seth. Thank you to Fanatics. It was great. Thank you to everybody who participated. Sean, could you give me a couple of super chats? As long as they’re appropriate, even if they’re not, whatever. Let’s have fun. Eric Rippersonson says, “The love of your life wants us to mention soy milk. I don’t know why.” Look, if there’s one thing we do, it’s we mention what the love of your life wants. Even if we don’t know if it’s a good thing, if there’s one thing we don’t do is ask questions about what the love of your life wants. Young Gritty says, “Uh, couldn’t stay up. Is Carter Hart’s body still mid?” I almost sent a tweet last night that I was like, “People are gonna yell at me for this.” Was it about Carter Hart in overtime? I was gonna be like, “This is the guy who sucked in the AHL. He was [ __ ] unbelievable. But I was like, “Yeah, you know what? We don’t need to be doing Carter Hart glazing right now. I don’t need to be ESPN didn’t get that memo.” So, there’s a problem. And let’s hit that quickly. Carter Hart made his return to the NHL last year after two years off last night. Uh last night, I’m sorry. Uh there’s a lot of like why? What happened? We know what [ __ ] happened. He was released from or they the Flyers let his contract expire because he was on trial for [ __ ] sexual assault. Big big deal. big big scandal, awful thing. Whether he was found guilty or not guilty, whe which obviously he was found not guilty, but we can say categorically an awful thing. Yes. And an awful period of time for the hockey community. Somebody sued an organization saying they were sexually assaulted. Five young men went on trial. Things became public that were not previously public. It was a mess. and caught up in it was obviously a community in Canada, but also just like an entire community of hockey fans who were all over the place in how upset they were for various reasons. So, we can say whether again whether they were found guilty or not, this was a bad, horrible, harrowing thing for a lot of people. For a lot of people and I don’t want to get on ESPN too bad because I think that they they the the the glazing they did of Carter Hart was or the let me see the I don’t think they glazed him as hard as everyone thought but I do think they they were way too much they were very he heavy-handed in the triumph element of this harder heart a lot of saying his full name there was a lot of threw me off the energy the energy of it was like if you had if you had no idea what had happened what happened you just tune into this game went in blind. You’d be like, “Did this guy beat cancer or something? He’s back.” Yeah. Like that’s what the energy was behind the the way that they were talking about it. There was way too much triumph energy there. Yeah. And obviously if I if he and these guys were wrongfully accused and then found innocent and everything, obviously if they were wrongfully accused, you would feel for someone going through that experience, right? You would I still don’t think though you would be so sure that all is well that you make it a 100% like I said the triumph part of it is icky because I would hope that these players would still be like this was [ __ ] horrible and I’m not out here taking victory laps over it, right? Like I mean whether or not like falsely accused all that like innocent not guilty whatever like there were still choices that were made that put people in bad spots and you know what I’m saying like there’s there’s definitely elements to that where like you don’t need to 100% celebrate the return and like a lot of the energy last night was a celebration and it did not need to come off that way. Yeah, that was my problem with it. Yes. Yeah. The Yeah. The two words. And it was just like it was incessant. It was happening the entire [ __ ] game. He he play he looked really really good at points. And you can you can call that out. You don’t have to ignore it. Like the the end of that game was unbelievable. And he made a number of massive saves. Huge part in the win for the Golden Knights. Also, it was just weird that he was like the only guy that they were [ __ ] focusing on. Yeah. And look, he was incredible in overtime, right? He’s a professional athlete. He’s a good hockey player, so he’s going to have good moments. It’s not the energy you were bringing yesterday. So, Oh, yeah. Going into it, I was like, “This guy sucks.” No, I I was saying sports interaction. Blackhawks over two and a half goals, which cash cash. Thanks to Carter Hart, by the way, because I know he was talking about how good he was in overtime. They don’t get there if he wasn’t a complete [ __ ] [ __ ] You know what though? I saw that. That was the second goal the Blackhawks scored and I said, “Oh no, I don’t know. I’m going to share some personal stuff about me. I root for a goalie who sometimes has some bad moments and then shuts that [ __ ] down.” Here’s the thing. I was like, I needed that to be the third goal he allowed because he’s about to be or there’s a very high chance he’s going to get his act together real quick. And he allowed one more goal, but but it was an insane goal to Connor Baddard. We will glaze in a second. But yeah, after that giveaway, I was like, he might shut that [ __ ] down, which he did in overtime. Blackhawks were kind of playing with their food in overtime, but that overtime was breathtaking. It was I mean, the whole end of that game was the third period and overtime was unbelievable. And I should note like it wasn’t just Carter Hart putting on a show. Carter Hart and Spencer Knight both put on a show and they were the they were neither of them were the most impressive player on the ice last night. I I think you said it yesterday like the Blackhawks have have transitioned into kind of mustsea TV territory watching every every one of those games and it’s mainly for Yeah. But like mainly to kind of see what’s happening. I think that they actually have two guys that make them must see TV now. Like in in the sense like you know what you’re tuning in for. You’re turning you’re tuning in for Connor Bard and you’re tuning in for Spencer Knight. Yeah. And then the pieces around them can be fun at points but like you’re watching for those two guys. Metal Stoops does ask an important question with the whole Carter Hart situation, which is uh how does his return to the NHL affect Nathan McKinnon’s heart. Well, it doesn’t yet because Nathan McKinnon still went off last night again. That boy is has been going stupid. Shout out Avalanche fans. Let’s do today and Avalanche fans. Someone posted uh when was the last time two players from the same team were front running for Hart? I’ll say to Avalanche fans, even your guys have done that before. Like last year, the obviously everybody was like, uh, there’s a team that has like arguably the two best players in the league, so maybe them. But like there’s a team called the Avalanche that has arguably the two best players in the league. So like you guys have done that, too. Yeah, it’s was Mar over. Stupid question. Stupid question. It was a dumb question. And then they but they doubled down like and if you looked in the responses it was a bunch of people being like um the Edmonton Oilers every single year and they were like uh well they don’t not at the same time like I’m like what was it you or Pete that noted like actually not it is true that it’s not the Edmonton Oilers every year because those guys switch off winning. Yeah. They literally alternate winning the MVP awards. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Okay. And plus, you got to mention the Boston Bruins have uh David Posnock and Morgan Geeky as well. So, yes, that needs to be in there big time. Uh, another thing with the broadcast and uh a little lighter, which is nice, is that Kevin Weekes kept saying uh Levunov instead of Lev. And that’s one of those mispronounce pronunciations where like that better be right because it’s possible that we’re all saying it wrong and he’s doing the thing. I used to be very annoying with that. If I knew a correct pronunciation of a name, you were very annoying about pronunciation. You know, first time for everything. I would lean into it and I would say the name as often as I could so someone could be like, “Is it really pronounced that way?” Glad you asked. Yes. So, I texted you last night. I was like, “It better be pronounced Lev Shunavv.” And then this morning you brought up, you were like, “And then there was the thing with Adam Foot last week, cigarettes and cashews.” Yeah. Just a lot of shoe emphasis. So, I looked up whether it could be a regional thing. Adam Foot from Toronto, Ontario. Kevin Weekes from Toronto, Ontario. Does Toronto have a foot fetish? Ooh, lot of lean, a lot of hitting that shoe really hard. Quinn Tarantino, Toronto shaking them hands. All making sense. Yes, it is all coming together. Um, now let’s glaze Connor Battard. God, let’s blaze uh let’s glaze Connor Baddard. Let’s blaze. Let’s blaze with Conor Baddard. I’ll say uh I would not want to smoke weed with Connor Baddard because I wouldn’t want Connor Baddard to smoke weed with me. Disagree. Yeah, strong disagree. Strong disagree there. That [ __ ] is It seems like a prime Let’s open up and let’s just start naming basketball players from the late 2010s. No, no, on a on a team trip like on like the the Detroit Red Wings trip that we did where we just got [ __ ] stoned and watched Taskmaster. that Bard in that mix. Get Bernard in that mix. And we were just talking about like early 2000s, mid2000s NBA players. Yeah. And that conversation is going on for 4 hours. So again, my concern though is not with how he would behave. And not that I’m the worst. Uh when I’m stoned, I’m usually kind of chilled out. Although I had a panic attack last time I smoked weed. It was glad you brought it up. But typically, I’m just like putting on Donnie Hathaway and being like, here’s the trick. He’s got the best voice in the world. Don’t even listen to his voice. Listen to his playing right now. That guy on an electric piano is incredible. I don’t know if Connor Baddard would want that. So, that’s why I say I don’t want to smoke weed with Connor Baddard because I’ve already given Connor Baddard a kind of ridiculous experience. Mhm. I don’t I I just want him to have a good time and I also want him to come back on our show. So, I don’t know if me like playing the Eagles for him would I don’t think so. would uh endear him to us. Taskmaster, you’re out of this blunt rotation 100 yards in. He would not be wanting to do Taskmaster with you two. I’ll say that. Why? He doesn’t want to sit around watching He wants to to talk about NBA players. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. That’s what I’m saying. I said we would just be talking about NBA players, not Taskmaster. We would We would shift the vibe for Baddard if he was joining the Blunt Rotation. You’ve got to curate the scene. He curated a scene for me last night which was like cool hockey players. Everybody was freaking out about uh so he had two big moments. He had a very sick goal in regulation and then he had a goal in overtime in the shootout. Sean, could you play the shootout goal for me because I have an important question. Can he make it continue? The guard on heart. What a move. What a goal. Uh, can I ask your question for you or can I try to guess your question? Is it illegal because you dragged it backwards? The puck’s not moving forward at all times. Rule of cool. [ __ ] that. Nice. Good. I was going to say [ __ ] off. My question is a statement which is I think that might be the best shootout goal ever. Ooh, I that’s the sickest that that might be the sickest shootout goal I’ve ever seen. H [ __ ] I’m forgetting like Forsber and stuff. Oh, who is the USA women’s player who absolutely [ __ ] demolished the Canadian goalender? Um, [ __ ] She’s like one of the more famous ones uh from like the last 10 years. She was one who always came up with the big goals. Come on, Chad. Bail me out here. Oh. Uh, uh, Lamaru. Yeah. Yeah. Joselyn Lamu Davidson. Yes. Joel Lamaru Davidson. She [ __ ] absolutely demolished the Canadian goalender on a winning shootout goal and it was just like I think that was the best shootout goal I’ve ever seen. This I’m not saying that it definitely is, but this for me watching that live I thought this could be the best shootout goal I’ve ever seen. Incredible. Uh chat says uh that was a dunk. Conor Bard famously big basketball fan. That shootout goal was as close to a dunk as you’ll find. Yes. Good way of putting it. Unbelievable. So, uh, that’s wonderful. Another young player that we need to discuss is, uh, Yesper Valstead. You watch You watch the Josh Lamry one. Can we throw that up because I still think that one’s a little bit more emphatic than what Bedar did to Hart, but both of them are kind of in the same realm. Yeah, give me a moment. Yeah, it was uh, and apologies to Joselyn Lamaru, American Hero, for uh, forgetting her name. Apologies. Far be it from Pete to Chad is saying I failed the name a woman challenge. It happens. It does. Shouldn’t happen that often. Uh yeah, that one that one name a man you trust. I think that one still holds holds up as the number one for me. Yes, very very good. Um, but damn, what can be said about Bard while we wait for I would say what can be said about Baddard is I do think that he is entering the territory that very few players hold where they are on one man takeover watch like we’ve talked about it with McDavid, we’ve talked about it with McKinnon. I think Baddard is entering into that territory where he’s now done it basically two games in a row where he’s just the guy who if he decides the game is not going the way that he likes, he will single-handedly change it himself. We uh the Olympics don’t play around. Oh yes, we can’t show Olympic highlights. Oh [ __ ] that’s right. Good catch. Very smart, Sean. Okay. Um sick. Yeah, it’s very very good. Also, I was two years late on where Baddard is or two years early, unfortunately, on where Baddard is now. I thought that by the end of his first year, he would be where he is right now, which is ridiculous and stupid. So, once again, ridiculous and stupid boy over here, but he is in that. I thought that he would be in the second tier, which I don’t know if you call the second tier everybody after McDavid, but I think of like the first tier as like McDavid, McKinnon for forwards. McDavid, McKinnon, Dryidle. And there are some guys you could throw up in there like Cooerov probably should be in there. Ranton sometimes can be in there, but that second tier where I would say like ju just like below McKinnon, but not necessarily below anybody else on any given night. I think he’s like getting to that tier. Same with which isn’t saying like he’s the third best player in the league, but I’m saying like sometimes he is. Yeah. Like like same with Celabbrini, too. Um I I think that Bard the bigger point is that Baddard just skipped that second tier. He went from what whatever you want to call the third tier, the C tier. Goautate did the same thing. I I think Bard I think Goautier skipped Goautier. I would say Goier skipped like three tiers. Um yeah, but Baddard straight up went from like a Cish level tier takeover to an A tier takeover player. He’s incredible. The uh other young player that we should shout out is uh Yesper Valstead and he’s been incredible. He’s been in the news a lot because he’s been on a prolific run for the Wild and it continued last night with a one- nothing shutout win over the team that could have drafted him. Yes, this has been in the news. Shout out Tyler Remchuk. Did you see his tweet yesterday? No. I was like I can’t find it, but I saw something earlier today that said the Oilers actually could have drafted Ypervstead. Sarcasm is yes because it’s all anybody talks about. They’re like, “Oh, well, they could have t a lot of teams could have taken him. He won 20th overall.” I looked at the 2021 draft to be like, “All right, who [ __ ] this up or who else [ __ ] this up?” Kind of weird. 2021 draft kind of banged. And that was the draft with Owen Power and Matty Maneers where everyone was like, “There’s not a top pick in this draft.” The guys at the top ended up being like meh to very good. Still waiting. Yeah. Yeah. kind of jury’s still out, but a lot of those picks after that, a lot of good players. But anyway, Walset has been amazing. Was very good last night. In his last six games, all of which are wins. He has a 977 save percentage, which is absurd. Bonkers. There’s only one goalie in the league hotter than him right now. Who’s that, Sean? Hottest goalie in the league right now? Spencer Knight. Steuart Skinner. Oh my god. 98 say percentage over his last two games. Uh just saying yeah where that I say it with sarcastic but it is where that take him in the last one. One goal allowed in the last two games. Very good. Uh Valstead’s been amazing. And I want to talk about him because Jesse Granger mentioned on a podcast clip I saw that Volstead needs to be in the conversation with Badard and with Celibbrini as like everyone’s talking about ooh it’s the new age and all these young guys are taking over. It’s very easy to leave goalies out of it, but he’s like he is in that group. I know it’s only been a six game sample and he wasn’t very good before then, but what he’s doing right now not sustainable obviously, but he looks like he’s going to be one of the best goalies in the league. I agree. Yeah. I mean, it’s not sustainable in the sense that he’s not going to have a 970 save percentage, but I think it’s sustainable that he can just be an absolute monster. It he it doesn’t he’s like one of those Tukar Ras type where he’s not making these like crazy athletic sprawling diving saves all the time where like you’re like ah that’s probably not sustainable. He’s just on a [ __ ] weird heater right now. He’s so so fundamentally sound and positionally sound that it barely looks like he’s expending energy half the time which is what you want to see I think from your franchise goalender. He is an absolute stud. Uh, another thing that ties into this uh, young player conversation is Darren Drager regarding Kefir Sherwood mentioned the Sharks and that kind of that made me say, huh? And he said he kind of said it in passing, but he said the Sharks are going to have that financial wherewithal. So, they could trade for him. He’s typically the kind of guy they trade, but they could trade for him. They could sign him. They’ve got the dough. And it got my wheels turning. Which fringe teams, if any, do you want to buy? Because the Sharks are currently the top wildcard team in the Western Conference. The Blackhawks are currently one spot out of a wildcard spot. The Islanders are in the mix. Dare I say the Bruins are in the mix. There’s a lot of teams that I think people expected to be like meh to bad that can take that next step right now if they want. And it’s further complicated by the fact that all these teams we thought should be not quite tanking but pretty satisfied if they ended up with a high draft pick because this draft has two unbelievable prospects in Gavin McKenna and uh Katon Verhoff. When you say buy, do you mean like rent straight up rent or Yeah, just get like add versus subtract at the deadline. I mean, I think that you’re going to see a a lot of teams, fringe or not, try to add at the deadline because of the free agent class. Free agent class stinks. So, if you’re trying to get better over the next year, you’re probably not banking on free agency. Yeah. And how much do you want to bank on the small chance of winning the lottery to forgo? So, like, and and how many teams are going to be sellers because they want to maximize their chances at the lottery? What makes this good is we’ve said for like years now teams are not going to trade their 2026 first round picks. Uh very interesting side note is that the Blackhawks have the Panthers unprotected 2026 first round pick. And I’m not saying the Panthers are going to end up winning the lottery for the Blackhawks. But there’s a higher chance of that happening than we ever thought could have happened because they keep taking blow after blow after blow. They’re last place in the Eastern Conference. This is going to be a way more interesting lottery situation than we thought. And that’s even with teams saying, “No, no, no. We’re holding on to our picks.” A team winning the Stanley Cup back-to-back years, being in the Stanley Cup final three straight years, and then winning the draft lottery for another team on that fourth year would be unbelievable. That’s like that’s like Boston Celtics type stuff from like back in the day when there was like I don’t know three NBA teams and everybody was white where they’d be like the Celtics have won five in a row. The next year with the second overall pick they drafted whatever and you’re like what what was going on in the NBA. Damn. If I mean I’d be very happy to see Chicago get Gavin McKenna or Katon Verhoff obviously, but it does set up the Blackhawks if they want to be a team that does add because I want to see Ke for sure on the Blackhawks. Not moving that not moving the Panthers pick. It’s so weird to say not moving the Panthers pick but like I don’t know like move your second round pick. Move [ __ ] like that. I mean, they’ve got they’ve got they’ve been building with and and stockpiling young players for quite some time. Now, I think is when you can start making those moves to get better. Now, I’ll say regarding the Sharks and Kefir Sherwood, that would be a lot of fun. I think it’d be cool for vibes, but they kind of already have that with Barlay Goodro. Not that they’re the same player. They’re the the kind of like sandpapery type guy. I don’t know if I want I I don’t know if I want to mix the vibes of Kefir Sherwood who is the most serious man in hockey on a team that just doesn’t that serious. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. I guess you didn’t know his vibe. He is just he’s he’s just a businessman. Super super businesslike. So um Blackhawks have three second round picks by the way. They have theirs, Toronto’s and the Islanders. Welcome to Chicago. Kefir Sherwood, Victor Arvdson, and Gavin McKenna. The remaining months of Brandon Carlos contract. No. Yeah. And Gavin McKenna. That’d be amazing. Someone said, “What about Sherwood to Anaheim?” Yes. Sure. Yeah, I would love that. Um, sure would. But it does, it’s the deadline and the draft this year are going to be way more interesting than I expected. I already thought the draft was going to be super amazing and super fascinating, but it is in a way that I didn’t expect. Like I did not think that the Panthers pick was going to be coming into play here. And it might be. Uh yeah, that’s that’s fascinating. We talked a lot about year. We did not talk about draft lottery year. Yes. Uh let’s let’s discuss this week in Sharky. uh if if we want because on Monday the Sharks hung a banner for Sharky, the 2025 NHL mascot of the year. Now I know what you’re thinking. Is the Sharks that just hang banners whether they’re right or wrong? That is that is correct. Have we checked that Sharky was the NHL mascot of the year? I have checked. Okay. Sharky was indeed named NHL mascot of the year this year. Sharky was also inducted into the mascot hall of fame this year, which I did not know that that existed. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The mascot hall of fame exists. And the Sharky is only the third NHL mascot. And I would say potentially even the second NHL mascot. One of them is Yoopi, who is not a original NHL mascot. He’s an adopt adopted NHL mascot. So, big week for Sharky. Uh, do we have the clip of Sharky getting snubbed when he was honored? Sharky was snubbed. Uh, he dropped the the opening ceremonial puck at a game earlier this week. He was wearing a suit and tie because of his induction. Tried to shake M. Kell Sergeev’s hand and was completely snubbed. And Sergeev was booed straight to hell by the home crowd. Great behavior by the Sharks fans there. Sharky in a suit might be my next tattoo. I’m so mad that I already have a dog in a suit. Sharky in a suit is an incredible aesthetic. A mascot wearing a suit when like it’s his night is so [ __ ] funny. Great behavior. Sharks. So funny. Easily the most harmless moment of Sharky being on the Jumbotron this year. Yes, definitely true. The dancing was appropriate last year. Well, at the very least not the most harmful. What’s that? I said at the very least not the most harmful. Exactly. Uh that’s uh so what’s this quote? Each mascot inducted has demonstrated excellence and character. Yeah. In case you were wondering what what requirements are needed to get into the mascot hall of fame. This is the description from uh the Sharks website discussing Sharky’s induction. Quote, “Each mascot inducted has demonstrated excellence in character, performance, community impact, and fun core values that define the mission of the mascot hall of fame. Their unique personalities and consistent engagement have made them cultural icons in their cities and beyond, which very funny considering that Sharky is the only mascot in the NHL this year who has kind of had controversial political takes. Yes. Just dancing uh dancing during deportations. I’m seeing from the chat that uh Sharks fans booed Sergeev every time he had the puck that game. No [ __ ] way. That is the best. That rocks. Sharks fans are the best. That is the best. Somebody asked who the other NHL mascot was. The other one is Tommy Hawk, which Tommy Tommy’s a legend. Uh does not belong in there though for the what is it? Um community engagement and core values. Tommy Hawk famously does engage the community. Maybe not in the ways that you would hope. He beats the [ __ ] out of Black Ops. All right. So character and core values I would say is just playing a character. It’s not having character in the positive sense. Yes. He tried to kill all the fans as a prank. That was the best. That’s one of my favorite videos. Tommy Hawk just absolutely laying the smackdown in the concourse. You said that you had a surprise for me in this. I do. Uh this is not the only Sharks news this week. Uh Michael Misa is getting ready to return to action. He’s been injured. He has a lower body injury. Has not played since November 1st. But uh Shang Pang uh released this tweet yesterday. Okay, I like the idea of just saying that somebody released a tweet. They put out a statement. Release your tweets, bro. Saying that the uh the San Jose Sharks are considering a conditioning stint for Michael Misa this week. Uh we will find out more about that today. Uh the San Jose Barracuda have a big weekend coming up. They’ve got two games against the Tucson Road Runners this weekend. Do you know what Saturday is? Saturday is December 6th. 6th happens to be teddy bear toss night for the San Jose Barracuda. Oh my god. We are on the precipice of Michael Misa on an AHL conditioning stint in which he plays during the San Jose Barracuda’s teddy bear toss night this weekend. If you are unaware of why this is big news, Michael Misa is the same player who in the OHL last year was suspended for one game because he was firing teddy bears back into the crowd during teddy bear toss night while he played for the Sagenov spirit. So this is the most unbelievable development that we have had this season in the NHL. That is huge. We need to be there. Not not to rain on the parade, but the only the only negative is that he’s on the home team in this one. Don’t care. I agree. I like if if he’s a cool dude, he’ll he’ll start launching those [ __ ] Maybe not over the glass, but at the glass, he’ll have some fun with it. It’s just going to be calling to him like the Green Goblin math. That’s for damn sure. I don’t want to incite any poor behavior. But if I were there, I would be at risk of being banned from AHL arenas forever because at every whistle, I would throw a teddy bear on the ice just to see what happens. I I think that’s unbelievable behavior. This is uh an absolutely stunning development. I’ve never rooted for a player to hit a conditioning stint in the AHL more than I am this week for Michael Misa. The best part about this is he can do it again. And you know what I mean? He can do it again because if he gets suspended in the AHL, who cares? Conditioning stint over, baby. I I don’t know if that’s how it works. He can do that in the NO. Yeah, it does not trans. Yeah, they don’t they don’t carry over. That’s crazy. Not to my knowledge. The Bruins demoted Zack Ronaldo when he was suspended in the NHL and he played and then he got suspended in the AHL. I believe if uh memory I do remember that being the case. Yes, you’re right. Damn. I want to be there. That is so unbelievably just stars aligning. Where is this? This is for the Barracuda. San Jose Barracuda. Yeah. In San Jose. Yep. We We have some proxies we could send. True. Yes. Yeah, we could have Boots on the ground. The guys from Smashmouth, they’re San Jose band. Not all of them. They’re partially a Heaven band. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. That’s right. I They’re also like They’re a I think now like a swamp band. What? Hang out with Shrek all the time. Shrek. Oh, true. I um Let me see. Let me check this. Uh, how did this poor guy die? Steve. Wait, the is the lead singer the one who died? Yeah. Oh, damn. Steve Hartwell. I think it was like alcohol. It was liver failure because I had an idea uh to like I remember those latestage videos of him like performing and they were really sad. Horrible. I uh had an idea a couple years ago when we were at the All-Star game of doing some like bad uh content, you know, like where everyone’s done it before, but like kind kind of like a social team content thing. I was going to do something that was like, “Hey, now these guys are all all star, but do they but how many of them know that Smashmouth lead singer Steve Hartwell unfortunately died last year?” And then just ask all of them and just like a super cut of them being like, “Oh, [ __ ] I didn’t know. One way trip to viral town, brother. Yeah, that absolutely would go viral. I can’t believe you turned that one down. It would it would absolutely go viral in 2025. I don’t know if it would go viral back when you were planning on doing it. True. True. True. Not related to anything that just reminded me. Did you know that it’s illegal to sell alcohol in mass on on Thanksgiving? It’s illegal to sell alcohol. It’s illegal to sell alcohol in Massachusetts on Thanksgiving. Massachusetts col or Connecticut and Texas. It’s all illegal on Thanksgiving. How the [ __ ] did you land there? cuz you were talking about a viral video and I got it from what’s the name of that the local reporter dude that’s always yeah he did a video about that that I saw right before Thanksgiving and that reminded me of it but yeah that’s I I the alcohol thing that was uh on my mind during Thanksgiving is it was came from like a bar stool show they’re talking about like the south apparently like not only don’t drink during Thanksgiving but like are offended they look down on it. Yeah, like the idea of having that’s insane. Alcohol when you’re about to say grace or whatever they were talking about. Got to draw the line somewhere, you know. Yeah. Good for uh good. Famously, they don’t drink alcohol in church. And famously, the South always the morally superior. That’s right. Okay. Uh something big happened this week, which was that a podcast was released. Quinton Tarantino on the Brett Eastston Ellis podcast discussing his top 20 movies of the 21st century. And uh if you know anything about this show, please know that we are a huge There Will Be Blood podcast somewhere back there um from Sir Collect AOT. We have a toy that he made for me because I’m an oil man and I’ve uh heavily injected There Will Be Blood and Daniel Plainview stuff. Thank you very much. into my Oilers fandom. you see right there. It’s Daniel Plain View as an Oilers fan. He’s got hockey gloves on. It’s incredible. Shout out Miles and shout out Sir Collect a Lot. Um we watch it every year. The show does a watch along uh the run by is it Jesse Sean? Yeah, Jesse on the Discord. So like we are huge huge huge There Will Be Blood people. It’s it’s one of the great movies. Probably my favorite movie and I think we all agree maybe the best individual performance you’ve ever seen ever. best acting performance I have ever seen. I mean, it’s it’s certainly up there. That’s for damn sure. So, if you don’t know um about There Will Be Blood, maybe some of this will be confusing, but we’ll fill it in best we can. Here is Quinton Tarantino on this podcast, which is behind a Patreon pay wall, so we don’t have the audio, but uh he says of There Will Be Blood, uh let’s see. Uh oh, I have the whole quote, which kind of sinks, but he says that he would have had this one or two. Yes, there Will Be Blood would have a st would stand a good chance at being number one or two on my list if it didn’t have a big giant flaw in it. And the flaw is Paul Do. Obviously, it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but it’s also drastically obvious that it’s not a two-hander. He’s weak sauce, man. He is the weak sister. Austin Butler would have been wonderful in that role. He’s just do uh such a weak weak uninteresting guy. The weakest [ __ ] actor in SAG. Go look at some feet pictures, you [ __ ] loser. It’s outrageous. I got I’m a huge Quinton Tarantino guy and I’m a huge Quinton Tarantino’s movie guy. Movies guy. I’m not fair. That’s a good way of putting it. I also like I think that Quinton Tarantino is a showman and I think that he is extremely interesting. If he’s doing podcasts like with somebody I like, I’m probably listening to that [ __ ] because he is just a fascinating human being. But it does bring my heart warmth to see how many people have come out in support of Paul Dano over the past couple of days. And it has brought warmth to my heart that like in 2025 when you can put out like any [ __ ] take that makes no sense and that nobody should agree with that you will have your pocketed the internet that will be like hell yeah brother I ride with this take. Nobody is [ __ ] riding with this tank and nobody should ride with this tank because Paul Dano was incredible in There Will Be Blood. And I would say like his performance in There Will Be Blood would stack up against basically any other acting performance if it weren’t opposing maybe the best acting performance ever, ever from Daniel D. Lewis. Paul Dano was awesome for that role and should be noted he was not intended to play that role. He was like a last second replacement because the original three days before he had three Paul Do had three days he was playing the character Paul and he had three days to prepare for the role of Eli because the original Eli actor was very intimidated by Daniel de which is hilarious because Tarantino is basically saying that like Paul Dana was too much of a [ __ ] to handle or and play this role which like the original actor quit because he couldn’t handle the role and called it was like, I’ll do this [ __ ] on 3 days of notice and kill it. You mentioned something there that I want to hit on, but first I’ll say um I think that we’re all very qualified to have this conversation because we’ve seen this movie a million times. I also feel qualified to have this conversation because I am not a an enormous Paulo fan. And my biggest issue with him throughout his career is that he gave a performance unlike many I have seen. He was incredible in There Will Be Blood almost matching Daniel D. Lewis, which seems impossible. And then in everything else, there’s like Prisoners. I thought he was really good. He’s awesome in Prisoners, but there’s a lot of moments where I’m like, “Yeah, he’s just kind of fine.” So, I understand saying like Paul Do is just kind of fine. Mhm. But if you work, there will be blood into that conversation. You are wrong. And I think that a lot of people, you said everyone’s come out in support of Paul Do. Here’s the thing with Quinton Tarantino. I think he’s a brilliant filmmaker. I was going to say we all think he’s a brilliant filmmaker. I know the three of us think that, but a lot of people think he’s not, but whatever. Like even Quent Tarantino’s biggest fans, I think also think he’s kind of an idiot. Not maybe not an idiot, but just like a wild card. Just loose canon. Yes. Loose cannon. So he says that and I’m like, I guess I’m not surprised that you said something so stupid even though you know so much more about film and cinema than any of us could possibly ever know. But you mentioned Dano not matching Daniel D. Lewis. The best Daniel D Lewis movies for me are also Paul Thomas Anderson ones. It’s There Will Be Blood and it’s Phantom Thread. And they’re both instances of a character or another actor Vicky Creeps in Phantom Thread, Paul Do in this, like kind of matching wits with him. Obviously, they don’t completely mesh the performance of Daniel D. Lewis because he’s the best. It’s like the It’s like a McCartney Lennon thing where like you’re like, “Holy [ __ ] there were two of those guys in the same band. That’s incredible.” Then you’re pressed on it and you’re like, “Obviously Paul McCartney is a little more talented than uh John Lennon. Obviously Daniel D. Lewis is better than Vicky Creeps. Obviously he’s better than Paul Do.” But those two did something no one else can do, which is like [ __ ] hang with that guy. And like if the criticism is that like they’re not matching like sort of the strength of the character, that’s [ __ ] intentional. Like Daniel D. In both of those movies, in particular, Phantom Thread and There Will Be Blood play like this master conniving powerhouse egocentric person who is supposed to dominate the other person. And that is the [ __ ] story and part of the plot. Yeah. If you want to call him like a little baby, like you don’t you don’t get the scene of him like crawling for his life on the bowling alley. It’s like shrieking or whatever. from like The Rock. Like you don’t get it from like some some big man who’s like got this super dominant personality. Like he it was all the criticisms that Tarantino laid towards Dano were like exactly what he was supposed to do for that role. Right. I I think that Paul Do 10 out of 10 performance in that movie in particular. Insane insane thing to say from from Tarantino. I did see, did you see? Um, it was dug up by uh KFC that there’s some speculation that this is a personal feud between Tarantino and Do because Dano turned down a role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that Tarantino is trying to give him and uh had an issue with how much of the foot fetish was included in the role that Dana was supposed to play. That would make sense. I mean, obviously this sounds like a personal thing because I’m a nerd. I have I’ve heard clips of Quinn Tarantino talking about There Will Be Blood and he says all the same things. He talks about the set piece. He talks about the fire. He talks about how he told Paul Thomas Anderson, “This is as close to a perfect movie as I’ve ever seen.” All like all these things. And he said he hits all these things. And he’s never said, “But it sucked.” Or, “But Paul Do sucked in it.” Yeah. He’s never said like this guy’s [ __ ] weak and taking these digs at him. Taking out the Austin Butler part of it. Like I don’t bring up Austin Butler there because then you’re making everybody point out that Austin Butler is not an amazing actor. I I don’t know if Austin Butler is or is not an amazing actor. I It’s a weird poll for him to just be like this role would be better with Austin Butler in it. It also wouldn’t though like like Austin Butler is too much is like too much of a like a like I don’t want to say too much of a man cuz that sounds like I’m No, I know what you’re saying. He would try to like he’s Elvis. He would try to have a showdown with him which is not really what that sounds. You need somebody who’s going to bend the knee to uh Oh my god, Daniel. Yeah. Yeah. Like you need someone who’s going to bend the knee to that character, not someone who’s going to like try and be their an equal. I think he perfectly plays sort of a house of cards because he is trying to project some sort of power. I think that one of their best scenes in the movie, they’re not even really talking to each other. It’s when Daniel visits the the church to see Eli doing his thing and he’s doing the like this woman has arthritis. Let’s get the devil out. And he’s just like doing all this and it’s just all [ __ ] And Daniel’s just sitting there like, “This is a [ __ ] waste of time. I am going to blow on this guy and he is going to crumble.” When he comes to ask for the money and he’s like all he’s all tough and then immediately gets his [ __ ] smacked around, it’s like that’s the character. Yeah. Uh so Quinn Tarantino disagree. It’s usually not interesting to hear three people all agree on something, but uh it was important that we all say we stand with Dano. Even though, like I said, I’m kind of a truther there where I’m like, I if if you say he’s not one of the greats, Paul Dana, yeah, I agree with you for sure. He his the the rest of his career has disappointed me because of how good he was in that one movie. I wouldn’t say it’s disappointed me. I I think that uh he’s I would say he’s very good. Good to very good. And then in one or two roles, he was great. Yeah. And we’re talking about the role in which he was great. So weird weird place to pick. It’s a good thing that we’re talking about movies because we are overdue to have a conversation about AMC. If you do not know this, the three of us are AMC boys. We go, we get the pass, the $30 a month A-listers. A list life. We cut the line. It’s very nice. We get that. Yeah. Whole whole thing. Pete, you’ve uh you’ve been doing a lot of digging. You found this Misa story. Crack that wide open. What else have you found? I found that uh AMC is offering a new promotion this year called the popcorn pass. Popcorn pass is you pay $30 flat fee with a little bit of tax. I think $30 onetime fee, a little tax, a little tax, popcorn, a light tax, a few small taxes. Uh popcorn pass gets you 50% off a large popcorn every day for one whole [ __ ] year. One whole [ __ ] year. You know who signed up for this? You. Me [ __ ] immediately. This pays pays for itself in like what? Four trips. Yes. But three or four trips. Here is something that we should know. We already do get discounted popcorn. Yes, you already get the free size upgrade. Yeah, that’s still like $16. Is it that much? Let’s see what’s how uh I I bet that 50% off the biggest size is more savings than paying the medium size for the biggest size. AMC large popcorn. Uh this was three years ago. We can do it right now in the app. I was about to look at the app. Three years ago was over $10. So it’s it’s got to be like $15 right now. I think it’s typically I think I I generally pay like $17 when I get a popcorn and soda at the movies. Large popcorn is $1079. $1079. A regular popcorn is $979. So that’s what A-listers would pay for a large popcorn is $979. But assuming that you don’t get to stack the discounts, you’re paying you’re going to be paying like six bucks for or 550 six bucks for for five trips. It’ll pay for itself. A large popcorn. Now, a question that I have is, do you need to attend a movie to get this discount? Because we have a friend who lives in Alberta. Mhm. Who likes to go to the movies to get popcorn and then [ __ ] off, as it were. We’re talking about, of course, the great Liam Horban. He and his uh and his lovely lady go to the movies, get popcorn, and then say, “Fuck this. We know what we want. I did a lot during the pandemic because it became a big thing in Arizona for like Harkkins. They have the curbside popcorn. You get a huge like huge bag of it. QP, I know he’s famously Canadian boy, would order uh hot dogs from the AMC and have them delivered via Uber Eats. That is a that No, it’s cool. I mean I mean I guess it depends on what your hot dog selection is. Live and let live, brother. Yeah. I guess I mean I don’t I guess if if those are the hot dogs like hot dogs are one of those things that like it could just be in a movie theater that is the best local hot dog. Dude, I don’t know like if if Costco does Uber Eats or whatever, but if they did delivering those Costco hot dogs for like $1.50, I would tip my Uber driver $10 to have those hot dogs like every day. That’s one of those things though, kind of like a Thanksgiving dinner where like do you want to do that outside of the actual environment? Yeah, because like the environment is not anything special. It kind of actually ruins it to be like if I had a Costco hot dog on my couch while watching a movie. Oh, brother. I would have six of them. I I agree. I I Costco specifically, but like a Fenway Frank, I don’t want to eat that outside of Fenway. Like I would it’d be fine, but like it’s definitely made by the fact that I’m sitting in those shitty ass wooden chairs. Yeah. No, the Costco food court area. The most disgusting place on the planet. Yeah. It’s a lawless land. But that’s part of I I understand that you kind of make the moment what it’s going to be. The moment is the hot dog. It’s not the environment. But I also think that it would kind of strip away some of the ceremony of being in Costco, seeing all those huge ass carts. I I agree with it in theory, but I’m a little bit like too uh it feels like you’ve earned it when you get it at Costco, but the Costco food courts are always dirty, and I don’t like that. like it does like it removes from the experience to an extent that I don’t enjoy it because I I like don’t like being in dirty messy places. Uh someone in the chat noting that uh we say popcorn. You should hear what we say off the podcast. Okay. Lot worse. We say far worse. Okay. We’re Pete when Pete gets going on what we uh politics is Pete’s like big into politics has uh all these takes. shows us some interesting stuff. I kid. Um, yeah, popcorn and hot dogs. It is It is what we say. We do be like that. You guys gonna be popcorn pass fellas? No, I’m not I wouldn’t use it enough. It would like I The reality is I don’t use my A-list enough for it to be worth it. I like to flex at AMC. So, yes, I think I think that it’s unnecessary and like Yeah, definitely. The further I get removed from purchasing the popcorn pass, feel like I don’t need it. But um I think it’s cool to have it. Yeah. And I mean like you said, if you go if you do end up using it a couple times, like it will pay for itself. The question is, are you going to be just getting pop like if you’re going out of way your way to get popcorn that you otherwise wouldn’t have gotten, then you got got. Yeah. You know, I feel like I’m probably going to end up getting bullied into getting popcorn every time that I go to the movies now. Whereas before I I get it like as like a special treat once in a while. Now I’m like, [ __ ] I have to get a large popcorn. I will say I would have rather this had been $50 or $60 and it be free popcorn cuz the fact that you I’m still going to have to show up and give them money for this popcorn makes me feel like I’m not going to want to use it as much as I otherwise would have. I’ll tell you the popcorn is going to taste better knowing that I paid half price for it though. The biggest winner of this if I get it is Raisinets because they do not have raisinets pass and there is no greater combo personally with popcorn than raisinets. Raisinets and popcorn. If you do the ratio, you try to do uh like two pieces of popcorn to one raisinette. That in your mouth is like sex in your mouth. I think there’s famously sex for your mouth. I I don’t know about that, but yes, you do. You watch Heated Rivalry. I There’s a lot of sex in the mouth. I don’t know about that, but it’s like sex in the mouth. Okay. I’m gonna I think that what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna buy uh M&M’s because I love M&M’s in my popcorn. And that gives a little crunch. I like a gummy in my popcorn. Gummy stuff. Gummy. Yeah. Not like that like like gummy worms or something because famously filled the folks. I don’t like chocolate and I’m allergic to peanuts. So my selections get real limited, but I like a little sweet and sour. Okay. Or if I’m at home, I get the thing of popcorn loaded up with uh hot sauce and parmesan cheese. Banger. Banger. Shake it up in the bag. Oh yeah, that’s so good. Banger. You ever done Old Bay with popcorn? No, I’ve never had Old Bay, but I’ve heard what Old Bay slash. I know. I’ve heard Old Bay is my Frank’s Red Hot. I put that [ __ ] in everything. Frank’s Red Hot is my Frank’s Red Hot. Mike in the chat says, “My mom’s friend Joanne says popcorn.” Everybody in the chat say who says popcorn weird and say how they say it. I want the chat to just all be My daughter says this. I like to also just talk about my mom’s friend Joanne. Does she own a fabric store by any chance? Joann’s Fabrics. Yeah. I’ve been hammering not Jo-Ann’s. Apologies. I’ve been hammering Michael’s over. Yeah, that’s usually Pete’s thing. That’s right. I just like Michael’s a little more DJ’s very progressive. He’s not hammering Joanne. He’s hammering Mike. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out uh Robin. Hockey is for everyone. Yeah. People forget. Very good. Uh, agreed on the raisinets, says the shadier twin. Although, if you also get milk duds, it’s just above and beyond. I won’t lie, I have gotten two chocolaty candies with popcorn before. It’s a little excessive for what was it for? Um, Oppenheimer. I spent damn near $80, I believe, on [ __ ] because like this is a long ass movie. I’m getting popcorn. I’m getting raisinets. I got my my second choice candy there is always the cookie dough bites. Yeah, I got all that frozen only. I think I got one of those like plates of salami and [ __ ] Just I let it run. I used to get the the the AMC shakurerie board which is prepackaged cracker and like salami. The last time that I got that, do you know the story? The last time that I ever bought that at the movies was during a quiet a quiet place. You’re just over there crunching. I was eating like the loudest [ __ ] crackers during a quiet place. It was so uncomfortable. It would take me 5 minutes per [ __ ] cracker because I’d just be like, “Isn’t that specifically why popcorn is a movie theater thing? Because it’s so quiet.” It makes sense. Makes sense. I’ve never ordered the shuderie board since. That’s so [ __ ] hardest movie for a possible loud snack ever. I did nachos at the whale and it did not feel good. You can’t they got you just can’t do chips. Can’t be a crunchy thing. If you’re AMC, you can’t be doing concessions during the whale. It might be true, too. But like I feel like they one like you shouldn’t be selling stuff that’s going to obviously be loud. Like you got to have a little self-awareness, I guess. Uh Grace J in the chat says, “Uh, you aren’t sneaking in your candy.” I mean, this is no disrespect to you, Grace. You probably know this, so I’m not trying to talk down to you. The first two weeks, I believe that a movie is in theaters, theater isn’t really making money off that movie. So that’s why they kind of screw you on the concessions. So I always try to get something to toss the And I know that we’re just one person. We’re not making a huge difference. But ideally, people are buying concessions in because like we’ve already seen it change in our lifetimes. You used to be able to catch a movie at all hours of the day and now it’s more like the movies start at 4. Yeah. Instead of noon at some places. So, we want to keep theaters open. We want to keep going there. Tom Cruz voice. It’s like it’s like buying merch at a concert even though you know it’s [ __ ] too expensive. You don’t really need the physical music. It’s you supporting the band. Yeah. I haven’t paid for candy at a movie theater in several years. Shout out CVS. [ __ ] AMC. I I I mean like I I think that there is respect in both approaches. I have no time. I have no problem if you want to sneak your candy into the movie theater, but I don’t want to see movie theaters do poorly. I movie theaters are very important to me. I want to see them succeed. And if I need to buy my [ __ ] snacks there, help that cause, I will do it. If it was a local theater, sure. [ __ ] a corporation. [ __ ] a billionaire. And [ __ ] the millionaires that make the movies. AMC is like a good corporation in my mind, though. I don’t know. Oh, I don’t have any like Oh, every theater, every AMC in the Boston area is kind of dog [ __ ] Causeway one’s decent. Causeway one’s solid, but Assembly Row and Boston Common suck. Boston is is in a bad spot with their AMC seats. Is that what you’re talking about? Yes, the seats are all [ __ ] up. They’re all They don’t have the reclining one. Burlington, you can get them. And then most other places, it is a uh a real crapshoot. I’m definitely making a quote graphic though of Sean saying, “Shout out CVS.” And it says Shawn Depaz on going to the movies. Shout out CVS. Okay, very good. Let’s get to the slate. Let’s see it. All right, five gamer. Not the best, not the worst is how I’ll put it. You got the Dallas Stars visiting the Devils at 700 p.m. Eastern. You got the Jets at the Canadians at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, the United States and Canada. On TNT, you can watch the Philadelphia Flyers host the Buffalo Sabres Sabres at 7:30 p.m. Eastern. And on TNT, you can watch the Ducks host the Mammoth. That’s uh I’m going to be watching those two TNT games for sure. And then the Tuck is the Sharks hosting the Capitals. Should note the Tuck is probably going to be the Ducks game because it’s the TNT game. Also at 10, it’ll probably start a little later as a result of the Flyers and the Sabres. So that is that. Uh A minus, boys. Easy A minus, but not a horrible slate. No, I think that this is actually like a fairly decent slate for games that like I don’t fully care about. I I suppose weird way of putting it, but like structure is awesome here. And there’s no games that I’m throwing in the trash. Obviously, I’m watching it because of the Sabres. I’m excited to watch the Philadelphia Flyers. I have not really done that this year. Said you. Yeah. I think I think like you might be the only person that has I want to see if Trevor Zaggers can do anything interesting. He’s definitely not going to make anybody flinch. Well, we know that, but also a real tough look if they say I was going to say this is famously maybe the softest team in hockey or at least was prior to the arrival of Josh Don. So Aiden in the chat says that the uh Ducks and Mammoth is a Pete Sean Jersey Bowl. Yeah, true. You just got Well, I was now you’re you’re hosting so it would be the colors flipped but yeah. Uh Eileen says, “Why isn’t Dallas and the Devils not the early TNT game?” Eileen, I’m looking out for you, pal. That’s Avalanche fan stuff. Throw up the slate again. I mean, of I know you’re joking, but like it is a I mean, why did they choose Buffalo Philly? That’s a good question. I think that is a very fair question. There had to have been like a box getting ticked somewhere where they’re like, we got to throw these teams their national game. It’s pro. I mean, do they do they come up with the schedule first and then assign the national games? Because if so, that would be the explanation maybe that TNT wants a 7:30. I think those times I I feel like that time the time would not be what dictates it there, but I obviously don’t really know. Uh Stacy Fay says, “I’m going to see Rob Thomas at a casino tonight. My slate is an A.” Stacy, yes, it is. Oh, yeah. Yes, it is. Very good. I’m the biggest Rob Thomas fan. Have you listened to his uh his episode with Soder? No. I want to though. It is a great time. He seems like the coolest [ __ ] goo. Seems awesome. A couple of super chats to still get to. Chunkiest Castle says, “Just wanted to say bastard from a basket. Love y’all. Thank you very much.” Uh, Chiefs Mey Chiefy’s Mephies says, “Hey y’all. Random thought I had. Both the 2019 Bolts and 2023 Bruins set regular season records but were beaten in the first round. What are the odds it happens to the ABS if they keep up this pace? Let’s see. Who would they have on their case? They could have the Sharks on their case. They could have the Blackhawks on their case. They could have the Oilers on their case. Famously, the last time the ABS got upset in the first round, it was to a bunch of young upstarts in the Seattle Kraken. Depending on who that would be, it wouldn’t count. If like they set if the like the Avalanche set a crazy record and then played a team that makes the playoffs every year in the first round and that team won, I’d be like, “Yeah.” Yeah. Yeah, but I I I do think that there is something to the element of just like cruising through the regular season. You know what the one would that would be fun would be if the Avalanche set the record. Are they on pace to set the record by the way? I mean, are they in the conversation? I’d imagine they’ve won regulation loss. Like the Bruins 2023 literally, or not literally, but close literally. Like it felt like they won every game they played, which is kind of where the Avalanche are right now. The Avalanche are on pace for four regulation losses this season. Crazy. Um, if the Avalanche did that and then lost in the first round to the Jets, that’d be cool as [ __ ] That would be awesome. [ __ ] I actually said something that was negative about the Avalanche. I mean, it would be awesome in the sense that like Connor Hellob shows up for the first time, dominates like the best regular season team of all time. Let’s do that. Nessnikov Consite loading. That’s right. It would be amazing. Very good. That slate is an A minus. Here’s the game that we want to talk about though. We want to talk about the Were you doing the ducks and the ducks and the mammoth? Like the ducks mammoth over. Ducks mammoth over. Give it to me Sean.

All right. The overunder in that game is what, Sean? Is that six? That’s It is six and a half. It’s six and a half. Oh, wrong one. Wrong one. Uh six and a half for Utah and Anaheim. Anaheim, I believe, did not come through last time we jumped on there over on Monday, I think, when they were playing the Who are they playing after the Blackhawks? They were playing a team that gives up a lot of goals. The Blues. They were playing the Blues. And wait, how did that not Oh, it was because they pulled after two. Yeah, it was they got Bennington out of there too early. They were going to do it, but it didn’t work out. So, we’re riding with the Ducks again as they take on a Utah team that isn’t scoring a bajillion goals. I would not say they’re having troubles of their own. Yeah, I mean, the Mammoth are in a bad wave, but I still believe in them as being a team that can come up big, especially against uh an Anaheim team that doesn’t play amazing defense and their goalending situation is not ideal right now. Right. Do stall is hurt. Somebody reported that I think it might have been Frank like keep an eye on Utah at the deadline. I love them having a weird season being like no no like we are taking that step this year one way or another. Okay, every game is your game when you bet with Sports Interaction.

Lastly, uh this was in the rundown but we forgot to hit it. We got Austin Matthews here right now. Why? Because uh there’s another weird bobblehead Austin Matthews situation. We got this when we started the show. We got it from uh Foco. Yeah. Yep. Amazing. Big weird Austin Matthews bobblehead. Someone’s just like This one is like a a good Austin Matthews bobblehead. Like it’s Austin weird goofy big ass head. Sean, you want to punch in on this one? Uh, like it’s it’s funny because the head is so [ __ ] big, but it kind of looks like Austin Matthews like bobblehead grade. Definitely more than the one we’re about to show. Yes. Give us the other one. Oh my god. What are we looking at here? That’s uh not Austin Matthews. Who is the the the video game streamer or internet personality that like kind of looks like that? I don’t know. To me, he looks like Robert Thomas. Robert Thomas. What the [ __ ] Can I Robert Thomas? The St. Louis Blue. Yeah. Okay. That he does not look like Robert Thomas there. That’s a stray for Robert Thomas. I just texted you. Grab that, please. You Why? What do you You think that it’s bad for Robert Thomas to look like that? No, I’m saying it looks like Robert It just looks like way more like Robert Thomas than it does Austin Matthews. I’ve got a weird one. I didn’t It just dawned on me when we saw this now, so I apologize that I’m putting you on the spot to to pull it up, but uh as Sean is publishing it now, do we know who this is? No. That is Aladdin’s father, Casim. And you see him in the uh respectfully what? Wood. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He’s a good-looking guy. He is in uh the He’s in Aladdin the King of Thieves, which is the third Aladdin movie. That That’s kind of what that bobblehead looks like. No, no, no. Because I say he doesn’t think that bobblehead looks like anything. I I I say that would And you would not to this bobblehead? No. That is a [ __ ] up bobblehead. That is You think those two things look alike? Well, I guess because their skin color isn’t the same. You’re not seeing this? No. That looks way more like him than it does Austin Matthews. I mean, it’s got the same facial hair. Less like Austin Matthews. It’s got the same hair. That looks just like Robert Thomas. No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t look just like I mean, obviously it’s a [ __ ] caricature, but like that looks way more like Robert Thomas than any NHL player you’re going to find me. Let’s Everybody submit to Pete on Twitter because I don’t want to see it. Yes. Everybody submit to me on Twitter. Yes. Submit to Pete. Send uh Pete every player that you think that bobblehead could look like. And then if he remembers, Pete will reveal his findings tomorrow. Perfect. All in all though, they did Matthew’s dirty because that’s not what he looks like. Definitely not what he looks like. That looks nothing. All right.
