Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:00

In Miami, Azzo, this is episode 115 on the screws off the bone. Gay Jospus, Jay Swish reporting live from Dade County, Miami. Ozzo in the chin of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Yeah, dude, I fuck. Well, we can get into the chug off in a little bit, but my god, did you do anything for St. Paddy's Day? I just I mean, I went full paraplegic on Friday, and I still haven't recovered. Like, I haven't had a shift like that where I'm just going just retarded. Um, but that city of Chicago just it gets anyone going, but it really gets me going. Being that was kind of my old stopping grounds growing up. Anytime you go into the city, you know, Verona, Wisconsin kid played there the jungle for two years, obviously. But dude, and then I had my sister in the mix. Yeah, man, it it got out of hand on Friday. I had removed myself from the action, which I'm pretty normally good at. I'm I'm a pretty self-aware guy. Thankfully, I have like that's one of my only good traits about me. But it got to be about 12:30, and I took a sip of a high noon, and I said, if I don't get out of here, I'm either gonna puke or piss my pants. So I uh I got out of there about 12:30. But you the thing is, is we've been drinking all day because of the chug off, you know.

SPEAKER_00 1:25

And then what day do they actually do they celebrate it on Saturday?

SPEAKER_02 1:30

Yeah, so it was a little bit Friday was the warm-up night, and then Saturday's the big tilt Sunday, a little bit it bleeds into, and then the real professionals were recording on Monday. Uh maybe might have a few Guinness tomorrow.

SPEAKER_00 1:44

Yeah, that's that's incredible. But I've been there for that Saturday shift. I was also there on a Friday, and we didn't do much, we just went out. But that Saturday shift and in St. Paddy's Day in Chicago is like that's the biggest gong show you could possibly find for booze.

SPEAKER_02 2:04

Oh, yeah. I mean, I I got to the point where I somehow was able to call like I was I don't black out, I really don't. I maybe you know, one or two times in my career, I usually kind of get to the point where I was at on Friday where I just kind of either stop drinking or just remove myself from the action so I just completely don't, you know, embarrass myself um any further, that is, but I got out of there and we were thinking about maybe staying on Saturday. And I woke up, I said, There is no way I gotta get out. I I mean I was I if I did another shift like that, I think I'd have to check into the Betty Ford, right? And get get into a uh rehabilitation program because that was insane, yeah. Man, and then I was getting Snapchats and um some messages out of Chicago. Oh, you guys left, and um I was just seeing some game film. It every year it looks crazy, but you you get a little bit more removed from yeah being a college kid. It it was like there the setup was crazy, Aza. Like the the bars they were doing, the wristbands, they're shutting down streets. Obviously, the rivers died. I mean, that energy for that holiday there is it's like none other.

SPEAKER_00 3:12

Oh, it's I've never seen something like it. I don't know why it doesn't seem like they do that in any other big city either. But I don't know, like last time I was there, I I've got a like video of me for I was real tuned up. It was like 2 p.m. in a nightclub getting in bottle service. It was like 2 p.m. It was like our middle stop out of like the 10 bars we went to.

SPEAKER_02 3:37

When did when was the last time you did it?

SPEAKER_00 3:40

Uh, I want to say it was like three, four years ago now. Maybe it was it was insane. We went to like 10 different bars, they're all just juiced, and everyone, it's it seemed like everyone in the city is just bar hopping, and there's so many cool bars in Chicago. Like, I don't know, it was an incre it was an incredible time, but yeah, at the end of the day, I remember at like even 10 p.m. I was I was pretty much a walking puddle.

SPEAKER_02 4:07

Yeah, and I mean the fact the fact that you even made it at 10 is unreal.

SPEAKER_00 4:11

Oh, yeah, because we were I think we started at 8 a.m. It was I don't know if I ate any food all day, yeah. And I don't know really what I was drinking of probably a bit of everything. Um, if I were to do that nowadays, Jordo, I would be dead.

SPEAKER_02 4:30

Yeah, I mean, and it's my own doing, right? Like, I'm not one of those guys that wakes up the following day and is trying to blame someone for roofing me, um, putting it into other people's hands why I was so drunk. But the thing was, Ozzo, is is like you said, you had the 8 a.m. start. I was right on par with that because we had game two of the chug off. So, game one, you know, we started at Dublin's on Thursday around 10 a.m. Because you can't go into a chug off, especially against a guy like Dana Beers with no lubrication down your throat, no ditty. No, like you gotta have like four to six in you. So I think I had three or four Thursday before the chug off. We did it, it went to overtime. I was a little buzzed, but I was fine. I just completely shut it down. That was the day I was texting you, and when Hards, our boy Matt Harder, who's the head strength coach of the wild, sent me that regimen of doing the stairs. I did the stairs later that day. I felt okay, but the next day I was like, Well, Dana Beers took me to the woodshed, and I think the only chance I have against them is if I get a little bit more tuned up. So we were at the lodge at like right when it opened, like 10 01 a.m. And the chug off didn't start till noon. And I think I had six drinks and a shot in me going into the day two, game two of the chug off. And from there, it was just you know, you get out of that, you have some beers afterwards. It's like four o'clock. I showered up, met my sister for happy hour, and then I mean, you do that long of a shift. Like, what are you gonna do? And then I'm ordering like lemon drops at dinner. I'm like, what am I doing? I don't even get shots anymore. And then the next day I'm waking up, I'm like, I like I was FaceTiming people. I don't FaceTime anyone when I'm shit faced. That's how you know I went just full retard. I was FaceTiming Nick, I was FaceTiming Abby. I was just like, dude, what are you doing? I was uh I wasn't embarrassed because I didn't pull any stunts or anything like that, but I was just shaking my head. I'm like, what are you? What do you? I guess that's baseball, man. I mean, that's all you can see.

SPEAKER_00 6:33

Yeah, that that is baseball. That's hilarious. I got I want I gotta hear more about the the yugoff. So is it one to one now?

SPEAKER_02 6:43

It is we're down 02. Um, so yeah, I mean we're playing a big boy, dude. I didn't know Dana Beers was 270 pounds, respectfully. Um, he told me that, and I was like, damn, yeah. I was like, Dana, how like I'm not trying to, you know, what is it?

SPEAKER_00 6:59

Is it just what you're timing one chug?

SPEAKER_02 7:02

Yeah, so they have this formula that they developed, it was by a stooley, so it's a little bit skeptical. I I shouldn't say skeptical in a sense of of big cat or Dana, but just skeptical on how the prototype works. So this stooley, this guy who's just a super fan, came up with this scale that he came up with like in the last two weeks because he heard about the chug off. So he stayed up days on end developing this prototype, like he's like an engineer by trade. So you put your beer on the scale, the the yugo meter, and it measures how quickly you take it off and chug it, and then set it back down, and then the density of the beer comes into play, so that way, you know, theoretically, it takes out a variable of if the referee filled it all the way to the top or not. So it factors in time, how quickly you put it down, and then the density of the beer. So Dana's time the first day when we were using the glass jugs was like 4.4 to 4.5, which is a pretty good clip. It's not like they're they're best guy, like that Deutsch guy who could do it in like two seconds, but it's still respectable. I mean, it's about it was about 17.1 ounces of beer, so just over a pounder. And I was doing it between like 5.1, 5.1 and 5.4, 5.5. So he's beat me by like a half a second and a second every time. And I'm not like a unbelievable chugger, like I'm pretty good at I used to be good at shotgunning, as you know, but yeah, not not not chugging. So we we couldn't compete with that, and um, yeah, they they clipped us in OT. Gucci took care of his guy, who the other guy wasn't very good, and then I was matched up against the big boy. But in order to, you know, at least take two out of three to force it back in Chicago and we do it, end up doing it in AZ. We're gonna have to rig it, we're gonna have to have our people there, not rig it in a sense, but just definitely set it up for us to win. We're like maybe we add a flip into play, you know what I mean? So you chug the beer, I like that, and you have to get your hands into play. Yeah, take out the chugometer. I thought the chugometer was bullshit. It fucked me one time when it was I picked it up and it I think it started going too quickly. So we're gonna take the chugometer out. There's gonna be some different variables that we implement in, like, a little baseball in there. Yeah, I think it's gotta it. I don't think those guys have the hands to flip, you know. They can beat me on the chug, but I think I could make up the time against Dana with the flip. So yeah, it was it was a lot of fun, though. It was um a hell of a two days. Big cat literally went all out. The first day we had the Chicago Cubs anthem singer come in and he sung sung the national anthem, and then the set the second day, he had a bunch of cops in Chicago come in and play the bagpipes to try to stall us and ice us out for like 10 minutes, and then Darnell Wright of the Chicago uh Bears threw out the first pitch.

SPEAKER_00 10:01

Shut up, yeah. This sounds like a pretty good spectacle here. Just guys drinking beers.

SPEAKER_02 10:09

It was unbelievable. Yeah, big cat's the man, it was quite the spectacle. There was two halftime shows. It was it was just fully, fully simple jack, but I wouldn't want it any other way. So, yeah, we got we got games three, four, or five in Scottsdale. We gotta make it just as big of a spectacle. We're gonna open it up to our fans as well. So there's gonna be public admission. I think it's gonna be pretty cool. We don't have a date set or anything like that, but yeah, it was it was funny, man. It was it was a hell of a time.

SPEAKER_00 10:40

You might have to surprise everyone and work because like I don't know how quick it takes to learn this tactic, but you've seen those guys who can just open the gullet and just let it slide down. Like, I don't know how they do it. Yes, the flag's gotta be a way.

SPEAKER_02 10:54

Yeah, I don't know what you do. I don't know if you like practice chugging beers, and I don't really drink beers as is anymore. Yeah, unless it's like basically on the golf trip and we're playing beer pong, like it's 2012 again. So I don't really even drink beers like in in full you know transparency over here at Live and Five. So I don't know. I mean, my time was actually not that bad. The the one time I had a good start in game two. I let off and I had a really good start in game two. And Tom, the referee, wanted to make it about himself versus the game of baseball, and I freaked out, like I was drunk, and I just I literally put like my first reaction was to put hands on the official, like that's what I did. I put hands on him. I don't know if you saw the video, I took the whistle off him, I spiked it, I gave him like a little noogie, and then you know, I was kind of getting held back. And at that point, you know, it was more so just pay-per-view TV. But uh at the start, I was pissed, I went right at him.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

Oh man, yeah, I guess I mean you're playing a guy named Dana Beers. So, like, if he lost you in this competition, like he'd almost have to change his name, right? Like, he shouldn't be losing any beer competitions.

SPEAKER_02 12:07

Yeah, that's I mean, the guy's name's Dana Beers. His job is to chug beers. So I think going back on our soil is is where we, you know, because every field's different, every park's different. We can tip it in our favor.

SPEAKER_00 12:21

So I think the are you friendly with Dana Beers? Like, are you like, yeah, are you guys like kind of did you did you go out with them after game two? Like, who are you hanging out with?

SPEAKER_02 12:32

We didn't because they were streaming all day in the cave. They were watching March Madness or conference tournament ball, so we didn't really stay around, but yeah, uh you know what, Azzo, it actually sucks how much I like Dana Beers, Gucci likes Dana Beers, and I think it sucks how much Dana Beers likes us. Like, there's no animosity, like yeah, I'm trying to chirp the guy, but he's actually a good dude.

SPEAKER_00 12:54

I was gonna say, maybe you invite him out the the night before game three and fake buckle him, fake buckle him, yeah. That might be the play.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

Yeah, I was even thinking maybe like I just I like him too much, but maybe even just the eye drops in the beer, you know, and you get the shits.

SPEAKER_00 13:12

Yeah, yeah, like uh I mean if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. And I don't think you're I don't think this you're evenly matched with this team. You gotta do something that to you know even it out, level the playing field.

SPEAKER_02 13:29

In all seriousness, like I don't want to like have it just rigged where we just win because it's like a charity case. That doesn't sit well with me, but I think if there's a way like again, like with the flip or or different, maybe it's like you know, a cumulative score where because the other guy's not very good, and you know, we can get our numbers up a little bit where it's cumulative score and maybe a flip. Now we can get to a three, or we can get all three at home, um, and take it back to Chicago, and then again it goes back to their rules too. Then anything goes, right? But I just think there's a way for us, and we got to get in the in the war room and figure it out. But there is a way for us to to get three. Like, I'm far off Dana Beers, but I'm not that far at the same time, if you know what I mean. Like, if like I said, if you have the hands come and play or something along the lines of that, like I can, or you have to sink a beer pong shot afterwards after you and and it's like I I don't think any of these rules are out of bounds because we're talking about baseball here.

SPEAKER_00 14:26

Like, yes, you could go to you know Boston and the right field line is 305 feet away, versus you know, you go somewhere else and it's 400. Yeah, that's just baseball, you know. The the arena's not the same, the stadium's not the same, the field's not the same.

SPEAKER_02 14:44

So that's just it, and I think we bring in some intimidation. I don't know what that may look like if it's bringing in some former NHL heavyweights, if it's bringing in some current NHL players, if it's bringing in some gals that maybe are dressed like they're in a WWE ring with some signs, and maybe they get distracted, maybe it's giving them a locker room that is heated to the point where it feels like a sauna and it smells like shit. I don't really know, but it's gotta be something like that where maybe we can even taint their beers, not putting rufal in or eye drops in them, but maybe they're have to funnel 14 ounce or sorry, 16 ounce, 14 IPAs, and we're drinking Bush Light. Like there's ways around it, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 15:33

Like for sure.

SPEAKER_02 15:34

There's ways because we were drinking their beer coming out of the Dana beers keg that's he's been funneling for the last three or four years since he's been in Chicago. I think it's been like three years or two years, so there is ways to we just need momentum.

SPEAKER_00 15:49

Hit him with the oven beers, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:51

Yes, that's a great play.

SPEAKER_00 15:53

Yeah, you got some experience with the oven beers.

SPEAKER_02 15:57

100. That's a great idea. Give them heavy IPA oven beers, and they come out on a trait and they are just piss warm. That's a great idea because that's still the game within the game.

SPEAKER_00 16:08

Oh yeah, that's still a beer, still gotta be.

SPEAKER_02 16:11

I I like that idea, I really do. I think there is a world where we can grab all three, and and just for content purposes, it needs to go at least six, like we need to get it back to Chicago for sure.

SPEAKER_00 16:24

For sure, for sure. You gotta do whatever you can to get it back there. Um, what do you think was your drink total on on Friday? What do you think you you you got up to?

SPEAKER_02 16:35

Let me do the math here. So between the hours of 10 a.m. and uh let's just call it two since I left the bar stool office, and this is you know, this is full transparency. We're just we got to address it type shit. So I would say from 10 a.m. to two or three, I'm at 13. Now I take a break from three to probably five. Take a break. I just kind of gather myself, chill, took a shower. Then we went to Gibson's Itali on the river. Nasty spot for happy hour. Now I'm at happy hour. My first order, espresso martini. I do three of those. So now we're at now. We're at 16. Yep, followed by two old fashions. Now we're at 18.

SPEAKER_00 17:24

That's you could be at 22.

SPEAKER_02 17:27

Yeah, so now we're we do two old fashions and talk about this pivot afterwards. Just like I needed more caffeine, I do an Irish coffee. Yeah, you need it. Now I'm at now. I'm at roughly you know, 23 drinks, and we start hammering lemon drop shots. And I think I order four rounds for the table over the next hour of just lemon drop shots, and I got a sidecar. This is insane. A sidecar of Pinot Noir, house grapes, house grapes, sidecar of house grapes. So now we're at 28, and this is you know since 9 a.m. So it's not like we're in full alcohol anonymous here.

SPEAKER_00 18:10

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:11

We go to the next bar, and it's before Mary Joe's, and we're kind of off a division street. I forget the name of it because I was this is where it starts to go a little fuzzy, and I have a high noon, just one, you know, just one. You know, stay honest. I had to go piss. We were not there for long, so now we're at, you know, just under sub 30. We slide over to Mary Joe's. Now we run into some fans of the world's largest openly gay Chinese show, and they start buying us shots. This is where it goes south. I do two shots upstairs. I'm like, oh fuck. This is I'm getting to that point. Thank God, it's all hitting like all 32 drinks has hit me at once. I order a sidecar neutralizer of a high noon. I don't even really drink it, I'm just walking around with it. Now I go back downstairs because Gucci's chilling with Nikki Smokes up top. By the way, good kid. I love that kid. He's chilling up top with Nikki Smokes and some fans, and there's a lot of people in the area. I go downstairs and I'm hanging out with my sister and her two friends, and I just put my elbow, I remember I just put my elbow and forearm on the bar and I order another high noon because the other one got warm to this point. I get a high noon, I think we do one shot, and within about 42 seconds, I say, Oh my god. Like, I before I go full paraplegic or Paul Pierce wheelchaired out of here, I need to get the fuck out of here. So I hug my sister, I mutter something under my breath, like and get out of there, go back to the hotel. Somehow was able to call an Uber. Like, I was still there, Azzo, but it was like, you know, like one more sip. I might have been like not on the floor, but like completely cross-eyed. It was just, you know, when you get to that a certain age, you just know, like, yeah, you can't be a full-on liability and a dipshit, like, even though I am a dipshit, but just like to the point where all right, we got to get out of here. I was fully could talk and stuff, but I was just like, I gotta get out of here. It's been a it's been a good day. But yeah, I would I would probably say if we're we're calling it a spade, it's probably 33.

SPEAKER_00 20:08

33. That's a good shift.

SPEAKER_02 20:10

Yeah, 33 drinks.

SPEAKER_00 20:11

You're talking, you're talking an all-day shift, though. It's not that crazy, but it does add up at the end of the day.

SPEAKER_02 20:18

Um, I mean, 15 hours on the bottle, it's realistically, I mean, if we're trying to make ourselves sound better, it's only two an hour.

SPEAKER_00 20:28

Yeah, which ain't bad. No, I would say I the variety of drinks you had, though. Like, okay, we're Monday now, so we're a full you know, 48 hours Saturday, Sunday, and then probably, you know, we're maybe even 60 some hours into this. Yep, there ain't no way you're still you're feeling good, right? Like that that's gonna last a while.

SPEAKER_02 20:59

Yeah, that it's it's one of those where it's still lingering. Like, I've done you know, a good amount of workouts, I've gotten in a lot of steps, but it's it's not one of those where you just reassess your life. It's it's one of those where you're like, all right, well, I'm gonna probably at least take this next weekend off, you know, like and it's still Monday in your head. Like, yeah, that's easy to say when you wake up Saturday, oh yeah, I'm never drinking again. One of those things. I'm not I've never been one of those guys because I don't live in the extremes, but it's Monday, and I'm a realist, and I'm still sitting here saying, I have no desire to have a drink because of what I put down the hatch that day and just the variety menu that went into it.

SPEAKER_00 21:37

The house grapes is the funniest one. Yeah, reset that's unbelievable. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 21:43

Well, it's one of those where none of it sounds good. Uh you know, you you've you've had everything that day. Think about beer, whiskey, Bailey's. Um, you know, I had uh tequila in my espresso martinis, and then I, you know, the old fashioned with the more whiskey. Like I just was.

SPEAKER_00 22:00

Lemon drops, right?

SPEAKER_02 22:01

Like I yeah, I just needed to reset on the grapes.

SPEAKER_00 22:04

Yeah, that's I mean, that had to have tasted great at the time, you know. Unbelievable. It probably added I mean, I would say at least just that one cup of wine probably added at least five, six hours of of hung time on there, yeah. But for sure worth it at the time, yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_02 22:26

I mean, Saturday was not perfect, but yeah, I just had to address the elevator.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

What what's your what's your routine on trying to trying to shake that one? Because I have a couple of those days, and I'm like, God, like, what do I do to shake this? Like, you can't shake it, but you can you can cut back on the amount of hours it takes to actually fully recover.

SPEAKER_02 22:48

Yeah, it was. I mean, when we we got on a bird that day too in the morning at night 9:55 a.m. in the pigeon deck on American down to Dade County, Miami. I was still shit faced. I landed here and I went and got something to eat Ozo, and I said, if I get in bed right now, um I might now wake up for 14 hours. So I actually, you know what? I went hero mode and just turned the mind off and got right into my body, and I and I worked out. I worked out for yeah, I put it about I put in a real heavy shift of just punishing um myself in the in the weight room, and then I did about 20,000 steps after that, honestly. And it was about a four-hour, four-hour clinic of just trying to get everything out of the body, and that's what I did because I knew if I went to bed, it would, you know, I would be done for. So I just I really just just tried to go mind over matter, and um, but then the next day you wake because you're still so underrecovered, you wake up still so hung, but at least I did something, you know.

SPEAKER_00 23:53

You're like you're just like tired the next day, you're just bagged, like you're like I can't think that well. Like I don't feel sick, but I'm just tired. So uh and and there's really nothing you can do. Yeah, that's that's tough. You know what I've noticed when you get when you when you do put in a shift like that, I don't know what's good for me for whatever reason when I the next day I just want to eat the most unhealthy food ever. That's all I like there's a like a a vicious craving to just go get myself five guys or a Philly cheesesteak or something. Yes, do you think that makes things worse, or does it help?

SPEAKER_02 24:39

I think it's such a write-off the next day that it it doesn't even matter. Now, I do think if you compile two or three awful god-awful meals together, yeah, that's where you would see some side effects. But if you say you go to five guys or you just go bury a filly with some chips and and maybe little side dish of some Greek pasta at an Italian deli, if you cap it there, I think it's okay. But now if you if you move into the culverse with the cheese curds and the butter burger after that, now you're on heart attack watch.

SPEAKER_00 25:13

And sometimes it's hard not to hit that second stop.

SPEAKER_02 25:16

Oh, it's so tough, you know.

SPEAKER_00 25:18

Because like you've had the lunch, okay. Now you're like dinner. Oh, do I actually really eat healthy, or do I just head to culverse and a butterburger?

SPEAKER_02 25:29

It's tough. And what's the science on why can you muck so much food when you're stung?

SPEAKER_00 25:36

I don't understand it. I can eat, I don't get full. It's crazy. And I actually don't crave I don't even really want to eat that much, and I don't really I don't have any need to eat anything unhealthy throughout the day or when I'm not hung. But when I'm hung, I'm just like, I need 20,000 calories of grease, basically, is what I'm craving.

SPEAKER_02 26:01

Dude, you know what actually sounded unreal and I I I fought it off because I I had a burger and wings for my stung meal that day, but they had a milkshake on the menu. Oh my god, how good is a stung milkshake, dude? Especially if you're like rip ripping darts or something that night, or you hit a some recon kids, some kids vape and your throat is yeah, yeah, that's tough.

SPEAKER_00 26:25

That's that's an awesome day, though. Anytime you can you can step into one of those, yep, the the the juice is usually worth the squeeze, I think. I think it's worth the consequences you face the next few days.

SPEAKER_02 26:39

Yes, yeah, I do, and it's it those are always scary when those ones where you just know you're gonna floor it and you just you floor it just how you thought you drew it up, and you come out out of the gates actually harder than you thought you had. But that's baseball, Oswald. That's enough about me, my friend. What did you get up to this weekend before we get into the UND semifinal recap? That's a game we always lose, which is fine with us. But what did we get up to in many? Was was the weather permitting to to kind of slide into one for St. Paddy's Day?

SPEAKER_00 27:14

Yeah, I mean, St. Paddy's Day Saturday. It started, it started snowing on Saturday. I I I chose to stay away. Everyone goes to St. Paul for St. Paddy's Day. Um, and actually on Friday, I went over to Casey Perper's house with my wife, his wife was there, and then Kippen Ledoux was there. Well, nice. Um, so we kind of all just caught up. Perp was drinking his bushlights. I actually had myself a bottle of Pinot Noir, which is why I I asked you about because it was hilarious. Like, you have a bottle of wine, which like for me, it's like whatever. It's fucking it's kind of nothing, honestly. Uh, you gotta get a good buzz from it, but fuck the next day. I'm like hung over. I'm like, what the fuck, dude? I had one bottle of wine, I had water after before I went to bed. Like, this is bullshit. I did nothing on Saturday, just hung around the house. Um, it started snowing. I obviously watched the UND game, which we can get into later. And then Sunday, actually, there's a foot of snow on the ground, and I go out to uh a buddy's house, and his his fiance's girlfriend's parents have a big lot of land, and they've got all these side-by-sides and snowmobiles and all this shit, and we just we get in all this equipment and we just rip it around and go to the go to the you know small small town bars that are in this town and just rip around all day in these machines. And this it was just an unbelievable day, honestly. I mean, we are absolutely these machines are so goddamn fun, man. I I don't have a place to put them, but if you have like a big shed and you just have the money, they're so much fun. I don't understand how they make them and they don't break down because the whole time you're you're you're driving them, you're just absolutely beating the piss out of them, you know.

SPEAKER_02 29:07

Um yeah, is is what's a I haven't driven a snowmobile in forever, and uh it's been a long time since I've driven you know a nice one, like the the technology has changed so much. Are they is it like stick candle in a motorcycle, or is it even easier these days?

SPEAKER_00 29:23

No, I mean it's a little bit easier. It the snowmobiles are a bit sketchy because they're so tippy, like if you turn quick, you can easily tip this thing, and then if it falls on your leg, it's heavy as fuck. So, yeah, your your ankle, your knees fucked. Um, I tipped mine once, but I don't know, it's kind of sketchy too when because you you can floor these things and you're going like you can go like zero to whatever 60 pretty quick, and there's so much snow on the ground, you you can't really see what's underneath the snow. So, like sometimes you can yeah, it can get a little hairy, especially with you know how fast you're going, and I guess you know how many beers you've had um at the small town bars at the pit stops, you know. Like sometimes it can get sketchy. Um, so the the the snowmobiles are definitely the the most dangerous part because they can tip and there's so much power on them, like you can absolutely floor them. The side by sides, like I was sitting in this one, it's just a one-seater side-by-side fucking steering wheel right in the middle of it. I mean, you can buzz this thing, it's got a roll cage, nice seat belt, so you know if you actually do roll it, like you're probably sitting pretty. Um, but that thing, like, I wasn't scared at all driving that thing. It was unbelievable.

SPEAKER_02 30:44

Is the side by side the better play if you're out there, you think?

SPEAKER_00 30:47

Or I it's the better play, like I think they're twice as expensive. You can use them in the summer, though. So I think they are the play if you've got the dough to do it and the storage for it. The the snowmobile I would say is more fun if you're going long distance, like you can buzz a snowmobile. Like if you want to go on a snowmobile trip and there's good snow out, like you can leave at 8 a.m. and you can buzz for you know all day. Um, you can go uh 50-60 miles if you want to. I wouldn't really want to do that in the side by side, but um, I guess that's the difference there. But the side by sides are like, I don't know what they're getting up to nowadays, it's probably like fifty thousand dollars. Yeah, it's like buying a brand new car.

SPEAKER_02 31:35

Yeah, and those those snowmobiles, especially in northern Wisconsin, the same with northern Minnesota, but I know that there's trails in northern Wisconsin that guys rip all the time that they take them up to the UP and oh yeah, they just go bar to bar from Eagle River to Rylander to you know, all did that twice this winter, and I'm pissed I didn't go because it's there's like did he go in Wisconsin?

SPEAKER_00 31:57

Yeah, he went northern Wisconsin and UP Michigan. So and there's just like a trail, and there's bars along this trail. It sounds unbelievable. Yeah, there's like six feet of snow.

SPEAKER_02 32:09

Yeah, that's what um I mean, Clint Clint Borby, you know, um Jake's Maltz's uncle, basically an uncle to me. That he would always do that. And buddies that I know from Wisco they swear by that, but they do say it's it's a little bit dicey, and especially later in the day, if you you know you're you're with some guys that are stick handling a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 32:28

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:29

Um, you know, and that that those trails aren't too wide either, so you gotta be worried about trees, and you know, especially if the sun is setting or the the visibility isn't perfect, oh yeah, then you're getting onto the lakes and the Eagle River chain, like you just don't know.

SPEAKER_00 32:42

You don't know, and then you don't know if someone's coming from the other direction, and then if there is a turn, like if you fall and you're in front, well, the people behind you are buzzing along, they might not see that you fell, and then they got a bail. Or every time I've ridden on these things, like I there's been like a little accident or a crash or a little part where it's like, Oh fuck, this is dangerous, you know. Like, yeah, oh, yeah, it reminds you, it's like, oh fuck, these we're we're kind of messing around right now. This isn't that safe. Um, you hear about a lot of snowmobiling accidents happen, those guys that do it a lot.

SPEAKER_02 33:20

I mean, you do, don't you? Because even though that Tampa Bay Lightning owner, Jeff Vinnick, he couldn't attend, they said during that stadium series, he couldn't attend the game because he got in a snowmobile accident.

SPEAKER_00 33:32

It's it's common if you're if you're riding them quite a bit. Like if you're a guy who has his own snowmobile, chances are you've been in a pretty serious wreck and have broken something from it.

SPEAKER_02 33:43

Yeah, would you say it's more dangerous than skiing?

SPEAKER_00 33:47

I would say so for sure, just because the machinery, the machinery, like yeah, skiing. I feel like you have more control too. Skiing, uh, obviously, you can you can you know crash pretty hard skiing, but I think the worst thing you're gonna do is like kind of tear your ACL or something skiing, where like snowmobiling, you could easily like some of these 800s, you're you're ripping them 100 miles an hour, you know, like and there's nothing around you, you're just sitting on top of this machine, there's no roll bar, you're not strapped in. So if you hit something, you're going flying, you don't know what's underneath the snow. I mean, it's fucking dangerous.

SPEAKER_02 34:30

Yeah, then you're in the trees, too. Yeah, that's what I would always worry about. That's why I don't ski in the trees too, as was because I think I've said on this pop before, though. But I I had a guy that was you know a longtime veteran skier tell me, you know, years back was you ski in the trees, you risk death if you ski just inside the ropes. Yeah, the worst that's gonna happen is a concussion, a knee injury, a shoulder. Uh generally you'd be all right. But he said, You get in that fucking you get in the trees and you're going fast, you know, like and it's not just like those little trails where you're popping in and out of, right? It's like fucking diving in, dude. So I've always been cognizant of that. Yeah, man. I don't know. Like, I've always wanted to to do it, the snowmobiling. It just I don't know, something something kind of scared scares me.

SPEAKER_00 35:15

It gets your adrenaline going, and a guy like myself, I like to think like I'm a little I'm probably above the average person in terms of like how far I'll go with it. Yeah, but when you're riding with some other guys who are just fucking crazy asses, you you feel like a little bitch sometimes, yeah. But you're like, I don't I can't go as fast as those guys are going. Like, that's crazy. They're they're getting pretty close to injuring themselves, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:44

Yeah, it's even just driving like a go-kart or a side-by-side, even just you know, ripping it out the country. I'm not, you know, I'm just I don't really have that like same like need for speed as some of those lunatics do.

SPEAKER_00 35:57

No, no, and and some of those guys do have like a little bit of an adrenaline itch, you know, where they I would say it's like similar to those free solo climbers, like they just like feeling close to uh they like feeling dangerous, you know.

SPEAKER_02 36:14

Like, yeah, like death, death, death is like right over there, you know.

SPEAKER_00 36:18

Like you kind of feel like they can see it's right across the door here. If I open this door handle, like he's he's he's popping in, you know, for sure. And I don't even like getting I don't even like getting close to that door. Like no, I'll I'll pop into the mud room and like see his feet underneath the door there, and I'll be like, Okay, there he is. But I'm not getting close to the door.

SPEAKER_02 36:39

No, like full discretion. Like, I'm I'm probably just chilling in the living room. I might be even be upstairs with the door closed. I'm just I don't need to go there, but yeah, that's uh that sounds dope, bro. That's um, you know, one of these years. I I would just feel like such a puss if I got on one of those things and I was going because I knew I wouldn't go fast, I would just be kind of just cruising with you know some big shades on or goggles hanging out, and it's still fun though, doing that.

SPEAKER_00 37:02

It's like skiing, you know, like you don't have to push it to have fun. I think it'd be fun to go on a ski trip. You go skiing one day and maybe grab a couple mountain snowmobiles and hit the trails in the mountains. But yeah, like you said, too, it it is kind of it's kind of tough when you you do feel like a bitch when you're with some of these guys because you're like fuck, I'm not going that fast. Like, there ain't no way.

SPEAKER_02 37:27

Yeah, no, no kidding. Odzo, let's get into some hockey talk, my friend. You are our college hockey insider, UND at home, semi-final match. First year, obviously, of doing the hometown tilts for the higher seated team. They welcomed Scott Sandelin, aka Beach, and the UMD Bulldogs in the town. We knew it was gonna be a tough tilt. Knew you know, these teams for the regular season were tied at two games apiece in terms of how many they had won. This was game five, if you will. Um, got beat up a little bit. One would say got pissed pounded five-one. Did the score reflect the game? Is what I wanted to ask you.

SPEAKER_00 38:10

No, it didn't. Um now Duluth Duluth deserved to win the game, they were the better team. It looked like they had a little more, you know, pop in their game. It was a pretty evenly matched game. I would say it was one of those games, Jordo, where like everything was going Duluth's way, and really nothing was going North Dakota's way, and it it just had that feeling, honestly, from the puck drop. I don't know what it is. I felt that way too in this game. Like, you've you've played in this game too, the semifinal and the NCHC playoff. You tell yourself to get up for it, and like everyone on the team is like, Oh, playoff game, let's go! Like, it's a big one, this is a big one. And then after the game, you realize, like, yeah, it really wasn't that big. Our season wasn't on the line. We really truly didn't care as much as we should have, or as much as we will care when we win the NCAA tournament. It had that feeling to it. It was uh it was tough to swallow Jordo just because it was the season series on the line, and Duluth, they won the season series. I mean, we played them five games, they beat us three, we beat them two. That's tough to swallow Jordo because uh this North Dakota team is a better team than the Duluth Bulldogs this year. They have the best, they have the better first line, I think. But overall, team-wise, we should have won the season series. I don't know, it's tough. I don't like are we best off of the you know, week's rest, or are we best off playing, you know, a high-intensity game in next Saturday? I don't know, but I think this team will learn from that game and kind of take that taste that they have in their mouths with them. It just sucks, you know. It was a different, you know, it was at the Ralph. Duluth is a team I thought, you know, they've got kind of one line that if you shut them down, typically you'll win the game. That wasn't the case for this game, but that really favors the home team, if especially if you're UND, because you can put the guys you want out there after every after every whistle or whatever. So theoretically, we should have won that game. Um, it's a little scary heading into it's a little scary heading into the NCAA playoff with or the turn off tournament with you know our goaltender of the year, NCHC goaltender of the year, Gian Spinar. Letting up five goals in that game, letting up a few against Omaha. I think the you know the amount of goals he's let up these last few weeks is a little little worrisome. But I do think after watching this team play all season long, I I I'm not worried about them bringing their best game come tournament time. Um, so I'm not worried about it. I'm just a little disappointed with how it how it panned out. But again, as we know, like we've talked about, Jordo, it's you try to get up for that game as much as you want, but in in reality, you're you're never gonna truly get up for it. I don't know what it is about North Dakota, Jordo. I've always felt that way, even when I was playing. Now that I've been a fan watching, it's just you can't get up for that game, and clearly Duluth and Denver can get up for that game for some reason. They've each won the the playoff three times. Whoever wins next Saturday, that'll be the fourth time. I don't know why they can get up for these games and why can't we? I I don't have an answer.

SPEAKER_02 41:39

Yeah, well, it first of all, the with the new format, the only thing that scares me a little bit, and I don't even know if it scares, but I I would just take mental note of it, is 11 days off between games. Now, if you do date it back to last year and years previously, you know, even if you lose that semifinal game, you you have the third place game, whatever. Some years I don't think they did the third place game, but it was only about a week off, and maybe less. Six days. Now we go to 11 days off. I don't know, and that just brings me to you know, are we gonna be as crisp? Are we gonna be thinking about that too long? This is we're entering almost into another mini camp. We've already had, I believe it was two weekends that we haven't played games at this first part of the year. There was a weekend off, and then obviously for Palooza in and around January. Now, those are gone and passed, so it doesn't matter, but at this time of the year, with a one-game shot, I don't know. That that just brings me, it's just an observation I make, and and it's gonna be a credit to the coaching staff to keep these boys in shape. The boys obviously um won't be hitting the gas in terms of you know just going on a full-on bender because they're pros and they know what's at stake, but are we guaranteed a number one seed?

SPEAKER_00 43:00

Oh, yeah, yeah, we're locked in it, we're locked into the two seed overall.

SPEAKER_02 43:04

Okay, so we're locked into the two seed. So I guess theoretically, if you get you know the the 15 seed or whatever overall, even if you are a little bit rusty, but I guess you just you just never know. I I that's just the one thing is is that's just a lot of time in between games, and I think we're gonna be all right. It's just something I I look at and I'm like it's not ideal.

SPEAKER_00 43:25

It's almost like it's almost like can we pay someone to come in and play an exhibition next weekend?

SPEAKER_02 43:31

That's what I was thinking. Can we can we get you know spank around Manitoba for one weekend and bring the bison down and just shit kick them?

SPEAKER_00 43:38

Yeah, call up the N T D P, see what they're doing, and right. Maybe the 18 team wants to come out. I don't know. Like, yeah, it feels like that's a lot of time, and and when the what you know, when that NC double like when the frozen face off would end, Jordan, we'd lose that semifinal game or whatever. Like you said, we'd only have five or six days. Everyone knows what. The regular season ends, or this NCHC playoff shit ends, you're itching to play that NCAA tournament game. So now you so now you got that itch for two weeks. It's like, oh fuck, that's a long itch.

SPEAKER_02 44:16

Yeah, and and you know, it's you're you're entering a different time of the season, clearly. And how do you structure your practices? Are we doing inter squad games? Do I really want 11 days off in between losing a conference tournament game that we just got whacked on paper five to one? You know, our goaltending maybe didn't have the outcome, and a lot of our players didn't have the overall outcome and the vibe. I would just say the spirits have to stay up, and it's also just staying sharp is the biggest thing because you know you have that selection Sunday, whether you lose out on in the semifinal game and you you play on Saturday, and the next day you bam, we know where we're going, we know we're playing. Like, do we not we're not gonna know what regional we're going to right until next Sunday? And what are the even you know, uh this is how far out of the loop I am. I'm just worried about chug offs, but where are the the regionals this year? Is is one in Fargo?

SPEAKER_00 45:10

No, it's in Sioux Falls, so they're hoping to go to Sioux Falls. Um, but I I don't I haven't read Schloss's article on it. I think there is one in Colorado as well, and then there's one over in uh is that like love, is that Loveland? Yeah, I think so. Loveland, uh Sioux Falls, and then I want to say there's one over in like Worcester or Manchester or something like that. Yep, which is I've seen some that we might be headed there. I don't know how I don't I actually don't know what what would be best, like to stay close to home or just head over east where we're gonna have no fans and just try to muck it out, you know. I don't know what's better because there is a lot of pressure when you know the the building's gonna be filled with Sioux fans, too.

SPEAKER_02 46:00

Yeah, yeah. I think you'd always want your fans in just based on experience in Fargo with that building absolutely rocking. And if you could get down the I-29 and the weather's decent, I I think ultimately you'd want to be in Sioux Falls. I wanted to ask you though, so the boys that will be the weekend of the 27th or the 26th or the 29th, somewhere in there of March. And then they're gonna, you know, if you win your regional, there's another week off because I believe the frozen four is the ninth and the 11th. So that's another dude. Two bye weekends and fucking four weeks is bullshit.

SPEAKER_00 46:33

I know they're gonna play what are we doing? Let's say right now, though they still might have like a month left of season, but only have four games left if they were to make the championship. It's like right.

SPEAKER_02 46:45

So you're gonna play. I mean, they lost out on Friday the 13th, correct?

SPEAKER_00 46:51

Yeah, Saturday, Saturday the 14th.

SPEAKER_02 46:54

Saturday the 14th. So you're gonna play you're gonna play almost like three games in like three and a half weeks. Like if you make it to the frozen four before you get there, like that's crazy to me.

SPEAKER_00 47:06

It's nuts, it's not ideal, but you know, a lot of other teams will have to deal with it too, I guess. But yeah, it's in it's in Sioux Falls, Worcester, Loveland, and Albany, New York.

SPEAKER_02 47:17

Oh, Albany, dude. Avoid that place at all costs. There's no way they'd throw them there.

SPEAKER_00 47:22

Uh, you wouldn't think so. I mean, Michigan and Michigan State and Western will be uh will all be one seeds. Maybe Denver might be might sneak in there, I'm not sure. Um, but you'd think they'd keep all those teams on the on the east coast, right? Uh, but I don't know how they pick this stuff. I really don't.

SPEAKER_02 47:40

Yeah, I I would I would I would honestly hope Denver would somehow win at Magnus this weekend and then they get a one seed because I wouldn't want to go into the chin of Loveland and play Denver as my two seed. I I really wouldn't. I mean, if we're speaking about hypotheticals right now with David Carr on those guys and just what they do at tournament time, like I would much rather welcome even one of those other teams you mentioned, like a Michigan State or someone to slide out and then become a two and they come into Sioux Falls or or wherever, just because I just know what Denver does, you know.

SPEAKER_00 48:12

I do not want Denver and Colorado. You don't you do not want to see Denver and Colorado, it's up in the altitude, they're already used to it. Yeah, that's that's not what you want. I I saw right now, I think Western would be the number one seed at Loveland and Denver would be the two seed there. Okay. Um, and then Duluth would actually be the two seed in Sioux Falls with UND, which I welcome. I want that, yeah. I want to see Duluth again. I I would love to because I don't think they're gonna have the same game that they just had against us. Now they're really good, they're ranked sixth in the nation right now, but I would feel much better playing them than Denver.

SPEAKER_02 48:54

Yeah, me too. So, boys, up in Nodak, stay with it. You got 10 days of practice, stay off the piss, stay out of the bun. That can wait for after the season. Ozzo wanted to go to the National League quick, wanted to ask you something. You've been a captain of many teams over your life. Now, we saw the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs take a nasty knee on knee from Radco Gudis. Now, the hit is what it is, it deserves anywhere between what he got in five games to some who maybe argue more. That is not the point of what I'm trying to say. What I'm trying to say to you is as the guy that's been a captain of some very good hockey clubs before and some tight-knit teams, how pathetic was that response in real time from the Toronto Maple Leafs that were on the ice, and that witnessed their captain get brutally cheap shotted and do nothing, nothing in real time about it. That was fucking bullshit.

SPEAKER_00 49:54

Yeah, not a great look. One, I guess, you know, you could say, like, who else is out there with them? Willie Neelander, he's not gonna do shit. Like, you don't you don't even want him to do anything. I don't know who the D men were out there.

SPEAKER_02 50:08

Morgan Riley was out there. Okay, he's not he's not gonna do anything either, but you don't even have to do anything, though.

SPEAKER_00 50:16

You just you just go seatbelt the guy, you know. Like you hear me.

SPEAKER_02 50:20

Hear me out, Cap. Like, what if you just go fill Kessel on John Scott and and you're Willie Neilander and you just tomahawk him? Yeah, like do something, man. You don't, I'm not saying you have to fight. And I like Willie Nealander, obviously a family friend. Or you're Morgan Riley, you're 12 years into the league, you made 60, 70 million. This is allegedly your best friend and that your head of the snake. How do you not go over there and just tomahawk him or something? Like fucking butt end him in the face. You don't have to fight him. I you really don't. I don't, I don't think I would have fought him in like now at my point of where I understand what hockey is. I would have. When I was 22, no, I wouldn't have. I would have said, you know, I would have been willy knee leaner.

SPEAKER_00 51:00

You might have you might have two-handed him though in the back of the knee.

SPEAKER_02 51:03

I would have, yes, I would have exactly what I'm saying. I would have went full criminal on him and speared him. I would have, you know, I wouldn't have squared up with him because I know I'd get my ass kicked by goodists, but I would have I would have gone over there and at least addressed him, and I would have cheap shot at him, I would have knocked his tried to knock his teeth out. I would have done something with my stick, and just to not do anything, man.

SPEAKER_00 51:23

I know crazy, it's nuts. It's like a bad look on the coach, it's a bad look on the entire team, it's a bad look on AM34. I mean, if they're not then they not like the guy, I don't think that's the case. I th I just think these guys were just like fuck, it's right. I know Rad Kogudas is scary too. I mean, you don't want to fuck with that guy, but still, it's like I don't know, you know what people are gonna be saying about it afterwards, too. Like every time I was on the on the ice with a guy like that, or every time I was on the ice when that happened, I'd be like, oh fuck, skate over and do something, you know. Like, yeah, you don't want to, but you it's just like you're a hockey player, it's like you have to, right? Like, you just it's part of the game. You if if especially if your best player, the guy who's on pace to beat OV's goal record, he goes down. I mean, that's like an automatic. If anyone touches him, you have to step in and do something, it doesn't matter who does it to him.

SPEAKER_02 52:29

Yeah, I just hate in in the reaction, even after the game, and look, I I really like Willie Nealander, like he's a family friend, he's a buddy, he's Nick's buddy, but I would tell him to his own chin that you can't go in the media after the game. And when they ask you uh what about that play did you see? And you say, I didn't see it, and then you roll the tape back, and Oswald, he's the first guy to put his hand up. Oh, yeah, he's the first guy to put his hand up to the referee saying, Where's the call? And then you go out in the media and you say, I didn't see it. I mean, what does that say? That that to me screams a very selfish act. Number one, I don't care if it if that's how he feels, if that's what it is, that does scream selfish, and then number two, most importantly, screams you don't give a fuck about that guy. Yeah, and it sucks to say, but it it's true. It is.

SPEAKER_00 53:25

And for your captain to go down like that and I've stepped up, I've stepped up for a guy who I actually thought was an absolute pigeon loser. Yes, that got a cheap shot in the game, and I had to go. I I didn't drop the gloves of the guy, but I went and confronted the guy and you know hacked his leg and tried to stick his foot, you know, dude doing something, but but you knew how you knew you knew how it would look if you didn't do anything. That's just it's just it's like part of the job. It's when you're a hockey player, you know, especially you just know if any of your skill guys get hit by anyone in any sort of way, you have to go do something about it. It's just it's what you do in hockey, you know. If of course, if you're I even if I was on a bad team, I'd still you you'd still feel like you have to do it, so that's why it's so crazy that maybe they're just so checked out on this season, they're just like fuck it, like I don't give a fuck. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 54:27

Yeah, and it's just like that tells me everything you need to know about that group, and and we're not like we're not saying fight, like let's be clear. Like, go over and skate and and hit him in the back, cross-check him, slash him, try to break his fucking hand. Who gives a fuck? Take take a three-game suspension on your own. This season is over. This our this is our best player, like grade three MCL, he's limping on the ice. I mean, he never gets hit like that. You know, it's just if you're Brad Truliving and the management there, I mean, you've already let Marner walk. This group hasn't done shit other than make it to the second round. It's it's almost at this point. Does Austin Matthews even want to be there? I think that's a fair question.

SPEAKER_00 55:10

I mean, uh, if I was why would you not be begging for a trade if you're Austin Matthews?

SPEAKER_02 55:15

Uh that would that might be my final straw. I would be like, All right, like this is you know, I don't even I was thinking about maybe playing it out for you guys. I got a couple years left on this deal, but now that nobody even cares. And I was talking about it a little bit to on HB3. You've seen the movie Training Day, right? With Denzel Washington. Now, the last scene, or one of the last scenes in that movie with Lonzo, aka Denzel, is when he is laying on his back and he realizes that the hood doesn't have his back with him. Yeah, they ain't riding with him anymore. They were up until a point, but then they turned on him before he even knew it because he wasn't being good to them, or he just they had turned on him, and when the hood turned on him, that's a lonely feeling, man. And that to me is a comparable to what is going on with Austin Matthews, and it's not a character issue with Matthews, it's just simply his teammates saying, you know what? I don't know if we're rocking with you anymore like that. I mean, and then to like answer the bell later in the game to me is just such a chicken shit play because you know Craig Baruby has to run in there and yell at him. Goodness is already out of the game, so like it's not like you're going after the culprit, you're going after just some random guy in the fucking ducks that is an innocent bystander, like it's just and that becomes staged. And I just hate that shit, man. It's so fake.

SPEAKER_00 56:35

I know, and also, have you ever seen? I know we're talking about the leaves, but have you ever seen a more blatant knee on knee trying to injure someone? I mean, goodness. I I love the guy as a player, like, plays hard, he's been doing it forever. But how many fucking times is he gonna do it? It's like, come on, man. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_02 57:00

Yeah, it was so blatant, and just and you're taking out like star players, man. You just need Crosby in the Olympics. I know it wasn't as bad or malicious as that one, but then he even had a dirty play on Hagel right in front of me when I was at that game in Milan. It's just it's time and time again, and he hasn't been suspended in seven years, which is insane to me. Like, that's a that's a feat in itself. He should give it a fucking medal because how has he got away with all the stuff he does?

SPEAKER_00 57:29

But yeah, that that was five games too, like just boot him, boot him the 20. Yeah, it was a blatant, like, okay, he beat me, so I'm gonna stick my knee out to try to fucking hammer his knee.

SPEAKER_02 57:45

Yeah, and in the way that he went out to Matthews in the slot, Ozzo, like no defenseman besides him and maybe prime Jacob Truba in New York would go out to a forward like that of that stature and skill level. Like, if you were running out from say the lower dot to just on top of the dot, like it was like Gudis was lower than the hash mark. He's running out to almost dot width on the right side at the top of the circle, like prime slot. Like on Austin Matthews, you're not running out that fast at him, you're going stick on stick because you know he's either gonna toe suck you or he's gonna push it out and try to get a shot off, or he's gonna dangle it. Like, you wouldn't go out there that recklessly. He went out there for one mission, and it was just to take the guy out in some way he could. Oh, yeah, and he executed it.

SPEAKER_00 58:32

It's like those guys now. Do I think Gudis is a bad guy? Probably not. I've actually heard I think his teammates like him and everything, but he's he's certainly got that, you know, like just thing in his mind. Like, if this guy's getting past me, like I don't care. I'm fucking kneeing him.

SPEAKER_02 58:51

Yeah, yeah. No, it it's one of those like when your controller and plugs, and you just I think those guys, man, like they they genuinely don't even know it, but they're just they're kind of out there and their their system just aborts and they're like have to try to hurt somebody.

SPEAKER_00 59:08

Oh, yeah, that it's it for sure. I've I've I've played with guys like that, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 59:14

Like it just they just it's just something like they haven't done it in like a game, and they just have to try to do it.

SPEAKER_00 59:20

I played with what this one guy is an unbelievable dude, and we're on the bench, and guy dangles our guy coming up the wall, and he sticks his stick out and sticks the guy in the face. He's like, Yeah, he just walked our guy, like I couldn't let him buy. It's like, dude, you're on the bench. Like, what like talking about? You couldn't let him buy.

SPEAKER_02 59:44

Like he did it before he even knew what he did, type of stuff, right?

SPEAKER_00 59:47

Yes, he didn't even know he was doing it. It's just a it's like second nature, yes. Um, which is what I think Gudis is thinking. Like, he just loses control of his mind and he's just like, I can't let him buy.

SPEAKER_02 59:58

Yeah, no, it it for sure is like some sort of like it's not a disease, but it's some sort of malfunction in those guys' head. Like when Truba is so fixiated on just burying chins, like it's just like dude, like you're just so good at getting away with it, like most of the time. It's just you get so fixiated on something like and maybe goodas is just fixiated on knees right now of star players because he took out Crosby and and now it's Matthews.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:22

He might be, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:25

So yeah, I just wanted your I just wanted your take on that because it's fucking bullshit and sad to see. So hey Mats, get get healthy, fella. We need you for the tennis courts here in Scottsdale in a couple months, but Azzo, gonna go over to this week's People's Insider Term of the Week. And this week's People's Insider Term of the Week is Demon Locker. Now, what a Demon Locker is, it is a hot sauna. It is one of those stung saunas you take after rolling one over, going on a runner all night, and there is nothing that can get the piss out of every orifice of your body quite like a demon locker. The hotter, the better. Usually a Finnish sauna, usually a Russian sauna. That is your best bet to get all of that juice that you just put in, all of that just poison you put in your body the night before. Well, the only way out is sometimes further in. You got to go underneath the pores to get this shit out of you. So, Ozzo, the demon locker is essential to people that especially booze. Gary Brecka recommends three to four days a week. Fuck Breca, do it for your own health and wellness, and talk to the peoples over here, Jay Swish, and just realize sometimes the only way to get the piss out. You've tried everything all day, the water, the fluids, nothing can flush the system, the kidneys, the liver, out of the just the state you're in is none other than the demon locker. So get the sauna, sweat it out, baby. That's what you gotta do after a big night out, Bella.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:07

The demon locker. I love that. I'm gonna start. I took a demon locker on Saturday this last weekend.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:13

You gotta get all the demons out of you. You know what I mean? Like it's just you can feel them just chomping at the bit. Sometimes they're in your head, sometimes they're in your body. The demon locker is a place that just releases everything out of you, and you come out of there, and usually, well, most times you feel way better.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:30

I love that. I'm gonna start using that for sure. I've never heard that one.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:34

Yeah, the demon locker fella. Yeah, you gotta you just gotta get those demons out of you. So, Ozo, that was episode 115 on the bone across the screws. You know what? It uh it was good snapping it with your cap. We will be back sometime next week. I'm going to the world baseball classic tomorrow, and then I'm getting my fucking skank hooker ass out of here and uh getting back to normal life. So that's that's gonna be epic, though. It's gonna be sick. Yeah, I hope Venezuela wins. So it's Venezuela USA. They should win, but um, you never know. That was a good upset last night for sure.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:11

Oh, yeah, 100%. I don't like their I don't like the USA logo that we got, though.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:15

But brutal.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:18

Can we not change that? Come on, all the jerseys, actually, even Canada's. It's like who's making these jerseys? That's another that's for another time, though.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:27

Fanatics, someone they're brutal. Yeah, you're you're right. You're though, even like I'd say the Dominican was like the only one I like, but other than that, they're just brutes. All right, brother. Tape to tape, as always. We out.

unknown 1:03:39

Woo!
