4:32
Speaker 1: Demerz and Tel. But I mean I don't like cast dispersions.
4:37
Speaker 2: Here, but I think people in Montreal a little bit
4:38
Speaker 2: of money lunering going on.
4:40
Speaker 3: I'll be honest. I hope they don't edit this out
4:42
Speaker 3: because the RCMP will have a book opened on the
4:45
Speaker 3: sky in about two minutes from this airs, So please
4:48
Speaker 3: do not edit this out because yeah, there's a ton
4:51
Speaker 3: I don't want to say what mob is there, but yes,
4:53
Speaker 3: my brother's in the industry. There is a lot there.
4:56
Speaker 3: And you know, again, it's one of those things you

Speaker 1: There's a five percent tax you gonna pay, Yeah, you
5:01
Speaker 1: go about your business. It wasn't quite like Scarface. Well

Speaker 1: he does have like a scarface poster tail stairs.
5:06
Speaker 3: I mean, oh does so we're starting to really we're
5:08
Speaker 3: painting a picture. This is what you did instead of
5:11
Speaker 3: going hell.
5:12
Speaker 1: That's why you want to like, why don't you get
5:13
Speaker 1: ahold of you that this it's my cousin, you know,
5:15
Speaker 1: his dad, my mom, brother sister, like I gotta see family.
5:17
Speaker 1: If it wasn't that, I would have been at the
5:18
Speaker 1: cold room, whole bunch of roll. Okay, anyways, let's get
5:20
Speaker 1: to your dinner.
5:21
Speaker 2: You had an interesting dinner experience.
5:23
Speaker 3: I understand a buddy of mine in town or you know,
5:26
Speaker 3: we'll see at the end of this yeal though I
5:27
Speaker 3: thought he was a buddy of mine. So he had
5:29
Speaker 3: this restaurant years ago and then he you know, revamped
5:32
Speaker 3: it turned in this really cool, you know, eclectic restaurant.
5:36
Speaker 3: Tons of great food. Everything's like cooked and tallow uh
5:39
Speaker 3: and butter. Like there's no seed oils. I'm a big
5:42
Speaker 3: anti seed oil person. You know. They got bison, all
5:44
Speaker 3: this great meat and everything, well bison, and but it's
5:47
Speaker 3: a little bit expensive. So we go in and again
5:50
Speaker 3: it's okay, I go with. I went to have dinner
5:52
Speaker 3: with Brad Richardson, who played for the Kings, and his wife,
5:55
Speaker 3: Jessica zor Uh and my wife and and you know,
5:58
Speaker 3: we were catching up and he found out that we
6:01
Speaker 3: were going there because I texted him, I said, hey,
6:02
Speaker 3: can we get a table? And obviously he booked us
6:05
Speaker 3: a table. I thought it would be packed. It wasn't packed,
6:07
Speaker 3: but you know there's people there. So we sit down
6:09
Speaker 3: and he comes in. He sits down with us. Hey,
6:12
Speaker 3: what's up. How you doing? He orders a bottle of water,
6:15
Speaker 3: still water. He's drinking it. Uh, he's talking to us.
6:19
Speaker 3: He's going, hey, you gotta get this. You gotta get this,
6:20
Speaker 3: you gotta get this, you gotta get this. I said, perfect,
6:23
Speaker 3: I'm gonna buonebo.
6:24
Speaker 2: He knows the menu.
6:25
Speaker 3: Els we know on your thing. Yes, we're falling your thing.
6:27
Speaker 2: Now.
6:28
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that I'm some cheap skate and I'm
6:30
Speaker 3: not gonna pay my own way. But if you come
6:32
Speaker 3: from your house and you sit down at my at
6:35
Speaker 3: your restaurant, I'm sitting with you. My brother owns bars.
6:38
Speaker 3: He's a small business owner. I understand how it works.
6:40
Speaker 3: You pick up something. Now, I don't care what you
6:43
Speaker 3: pick up. You could pick up the breadsticks that cost
6:45
Speaker 3: a dollar fifty. I do not give a shit. But
6:49
Speaker 3: if you don't pick up one thing, and I get
6:51
Speaker 3: the bill, and it is astronomical because I'm ordering left
6:55
Speaker 3: and right, my I am.
6:56
Speaker 2: He's telling you what to order. You're following him.
6:57
Speaker 3: He's like this, I'm like, okay, I got you. I
6:59
Speaker 3: think you're gonna give me just a little bit of juice, Like,
7:02
Speaker 3: just give me something, give me, give me a dessert
7:04
Speaker 3: for free. We talked about it via text because I
7:06
Speaker 3: texted you being like, yeah, we got to talk about this.
7:08
Speaker 3: I could not believe it. And I like this guy,
7:11
Speaker 3: and listen, I'm not gonna write him off, but I
7:14
Speaker 3: was flabbergasted. And Richardson knows him too. So We're like
7:18
Speaker 3: sitting reminiscent talking about the good old days, and I'm like,
7:21
Speaker 3: I just get just chop off my left arm while
7:24
Speaker 3: you're attic.
7:25
Speaker 2: Cause you just took me to the cleaners.
7:27
Speaker 3: Yeah. It was just one of those where I'm just like, hey,
7:29
Speaker 3: if you own a restaurant, don't own one if you
7:32
Speaker 3: can't now and again comp a little bit of vanilla
7:35
Speaker 3: ice cream or something, or the bread sticks, the biscuits. Yeah,
7:39
Speaker 3: just give me give me five bucks off. Make it
7:41
Speaker 3: seem like it put it you could put a friend's
7:43
Speaker 3: discount on the bottom minus fifty cents. I'll be you
7:46
Speaker 3: know what. I respect it. You took off fifty cents.
7:49
Speaker 3: The waiters now going to get that fifty cents and
7:51
Speaker 3: you just you help two people out. You help me.
7:53
Speaker 3: I help you. Never the Twain shall meet. But god damnit,
7:57
Speaker 3: it was I And then Richardson's looking at me going
7:59
Speaker 3: like is this guy for real?
8:01
Speaker 2: Yeah?
8:01
Speaker 3: Is this for real? And I was like, Man, I'm like,
8:05
Speaker 3: I gotta work two more podcasts just to pay this off.
8:08
Speaker 2: As far as the Habs are concerned, Jay, I'm there
8:09
Speaker 2: a month ago.
8:10
Speaker 1: I'm thinking they're dead and buried, and like Nose Faratu,
8:13
Speaker 1: they have risen from the depths.
8:14
Speaker 2: My man, Marty san Luis has got this team rolling
8:16
Speaker 2: right now.
8:17
Speaker 1: I want to talk to but a guy nobody's talking about,
8:19
Speaker 1: Jake Evans, who's been hot recently.
8:21
Speaker 2: Had a great sit down with him. Dude. He's a
8:23
Speaker 2: late round pick from Toronto, you.
8:25
Speaker 1: Know, grew up a Leafs fan, very quickly became a
8:26
Speaker 1: Habs and once he was drafted. He's a great story
8:29
Speaker 1: because he's one of those unherlded players and he was
8:31
Speaker 1: telling me about his journey. It's awesome to see ho
8:33
Speaker 1: while he's been playing this year, I think he's got
8:35
Speaker 1: ten goals. He had seven old last year. Maybe I
8:36
Speaker 1: reversed the numbers. Ten last year seven. This year, we
8:38
Speaker 1: scored like, you know, four or five straight games. But
8:40
Speaker 1: I said to him, Mom, I said, Hall of Fame
8:43
Speaker 1: third baseman, Mike Schmidt.
8:44
Speaker 2: He's a guy.
8:44
Speaker 1: I go it was one set of him. He was
8:46
Speaker 1: so strong, it's so nimble. He could move a piano
8:49
Speaker 1: and he could play one two. And I said, we
8:50
Speaker 1: could also say the same about Jake Evans and he
8:52
Speaker 1: starts laughing. I said, you play the piano. He's like yeah,
8:55
Speaker 1: because I don't know if I could move anny pianos,
8:56
Speaker 1: to be honest with those suckers are pretty heavy.
8:58
Speaker 2: But I could play.
8:58
Speaker 1: I said, if I throw a keyboard out here right now,
9:00
Speaker 1: are you knocking out some chopin?
9:02
Speaker 2: And he's like, absolutely, for Christmas chopsticks. It's unbelievable.
9:07
Speaker 1: So if there's a guy roof for right now who
9:09
Speaker 1: is singing a sweet tune for the halves, it's Jake Evans.
9:12
Speaker 3: Jake the Snake could bust out a little chop hen
9:15
Speaker 3: if you need it.
9:18
Speaker 1: You talking about see you talked about having some E
9:20
Speaker 1: D M in the dress room.
9:21
Speaker 2: Maagine, he's the guys. I got an idea. I'm gonna
9:23
Speaker 2: play the piano, get us in the mood, a little
9:25
Speaker 2: table setter.
9:27
Speaker 3: I'm gonna play. I'm gonna play Beethoven's with an eighth
9:30
Speaker 3: Symphony or.
9:30
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, Beethoven's nine.
9:32
Speaker 3: They're all great, Yeah it's nine, since they're all good.
9:34
Speaker 3: But the nineties where it really But.
9:36
Speaker 2: This Montreal team I want to throw to you. Do
9:38
Speaker 2: you honestly think the regul of their playoff team?
9:41
Speaker 1: Now, I know eleven and five stretches mid December, maybe
9:43
Speaker 1: it's unlikely you can continue at that rate, But there's
9:45
Speaker 1: such parody right now on the NHL in the Eastern Conference.
9:48
Speaker 1: You can start to talk yourself as saying, at least
9:50
Speaker 1: you know hockey's relevant Montrell. We both know what a
9:53
Speaker 1: hockey hotpit that is. How great the Bell Center is.
9:55
Speaker 1: It was so refreshing to be there. They haven't made
9:57
Speaker 1: the playoffs in three seasons. It's just nice to see
9:59
Speaker 1: Montreal in it. Do you think they can sustain it?
10:01
Speaker 3: Well, let's temper some expectations here, because I'm gonna start
10:05
Speaker 3: off with last year at this time they were at
10:07
Speaker 3: the same amount of points, so and we know what happened.
10:11
Speaker 3: But what I'm gonna say that's different is they didn't
10:13
Speaker 3: have Alane Hudson. Yes, this kid has been fantastic and
10:17
Speaker 3: also I'm gonna I'll get to Lane Huntson in a second,
10:20
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna go into that Jake Evans, that line
10:22
Speaker 3: they didn't have an established Emil Heineman. Jake Evans and
10:26
Speaker 3: Joel Armia have been absolutely fantastic and you cannot make
10:29
Speaker 3: the playoffs, let alone win without a solid third line
10:33
Speaker 3: and depth. So what I mean by assault they're done.
10:35
Speaker 3: You look at the Florida Panthers. They had the Lundel's,
10:37
Speaker 3: The Anton Lundell line was borderline a two seed. What
10:41
Speaker 3: was their third line was super great. Edmonton Oilers in
10:44
Speaker 3: the finals last year they had the Connor Brown they
10:47
Speaker 3: had the Adam Henryk line. So you need a line
10:49
Speaker 3: that's kind of a motor. That line has been the
10:51
Speaker 3: motor for him. Now what is what is ken he
10:55
Speaker 3: was gonna do at the trade deadline? Are the buyers
10:57
Speaker 3: or sellers? I don't know if they can be buyers.
11:00
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna have to move something. So do
11:02
Speaker 3: you move with Jake Evans to get potentially good piece,
11:04
Speaker 3: because he's gonna be I'm telling you what. If I'm
11:06
Speaker 3: a team, He's one of my first calls. Him and
11:09
Speaker 3: Joel Armia are two of the guys that I'm calling
11:11
Speaker 3: trying to get from the Montreal Canadians. So I don't
11:14
Speaker 3: know what they're gonna do. That's just more do they
11:17
Speaker 3: They're still in a rebuild, so do they want to
11:19
Speaker 3: move this ahead or are they going to try to
11:20
Speaker 3: go get some assets at the deadline because it's gonna
11:23
Speaker 3: be tough to make the playoffs in the East. You know,
11:26
Speaker 3: I think you watch Detroit recently, they've been really coming
11:29
Speaker 3: along with Montreal. Is a team that could do it.
11:31
Speaker 3: And I said, I mentioned it before, I talked about
11:33
Speaker 3: the Armia line. But Lane Hudson, you know, thirty points,
11:37
Speaker 3: absolutely incredible dynamic Offensively, they haven't had a guy that
11:41
Speaker 3: can run the pp that way in a long time,
11:44
Speaker 3: my die Dare I say since PK su Ben have
11:47
Speaker 3: they had a guy that can really run the power
11:49
Speaker 3: play like that? So and I'm giving PK some of
11:51
Speaker 3: his flowers. Maybe we'll get Pik on the pod. Who knows,
11:54
Speaker 3: he'll come on and we won't even need to be here.
11:56
Speaker 3: He could probably talk the whole time. But I love Peaks.
11:58
Speaker 3: He's great.
11:58
Speaker 1: Well, most podcasts only have one guest, but Jay here
12:01
Speaker 1: on Unscripted We're a little something specially here, not just
12:03
Speaker 1: fighting the tank flash that's right, not just Frank thinking,
12:05
Speaker 1: but also comedian ian Beg absolutely hilarious, huge Canucks fan,
12:09
Speaker 1: and also stories from MVP two two guests today and
12:11
Speaker 1: unscripted another one one thought on Hudson, it's amazing.
12:15
Speaker 2: I think right now the Calder Race me and Kevin
12:17
Speaker 2: Weeks stired today.
12:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ice Macklins. Macklin's just had less games and has
12:22
Speaker 3: done more. I mean, yeah, you can look at it.
12:24
Speaker 1: I think Beachkoff, although BEACHCFF slowed a little bit, maybe
12:26
Speaker 1: cele bringing money to Hudson's.
12:28
Speaker 3: Right, Cebrian's gonna end up winning. I just think popular
12:30
Speaker 3: vote as well. I think he will win, but Hudson's
12:33
Speaker 3: You know, I have Hudson a little bit higher than
12:35
Speaker 3: I have him, just to touch higher than Meachkoff, but
12:39
Speaker 3: it's close. But I have Macklin out in the league
12:41
Speaker 3: just because what he's done defensively as well. I mean,
12:43
Speaker 3: he's just a complete player.
12:44
Speaker 1: But World Juniors, to your point, what a buzz kill.
12:46
Speaker 1: And again we have a big audience both in Canada
12:49
Speaker 1: and the USA. Congrats the Americans. I think a lot
12:51
Speaker 1: of us, like you and me had said They're gonna
12:52
Speaker 1: be a formidable team from many people.
12:53
Speaker 2: They were favored, they were awesome.
12:55
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for Canada, they go down and honestly change starts
12:58
Speaker 1: at the top. Canada flames out in the quarterfinals against
13:01
Speaker 1: check Ya. That means Trudeau's out.
13:03
Speaker 2: He's got to take ownership. If he's the prime minister,
13:05
Speaker 2: he's gone. I'm done. Back to back years now. World
13:07
Speaker 2: hasn't worked out, So be it. Trudeau cost a prime
13:11
Speaker 2: minister's job.
13:12
Speaker 3: We're going to take some of my money now. Don't
13:14
Speaker 3: got any bank accounts in Canada though, so sorry dru.
13:17
Speaker 1: It's but it's brutal when Canada loses when we're hosting
13:20
Speaker 1: the World Juniors, like it sucks to lose, but especially
13:22
Speaker 1: when it's in the Ottawa a little painful.
13:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just the whole tournament seemed it just did
13:28
Speaker 3: kno get off on the right foot. Even just in
13:30
Speaker 3: the selection process, You're hearing a lot of stuff come
13:32
Speaker 3: out in the politics and hockey. Canada's really you know,
13:36
Speaker 3: dug their foot in the sand of like we know
13:38
Speaker 3: best and we can pick the best team without really
13:41
Speaker 3: getting any outside council or anything like that or anybody
13:44
Speaker 3: that's in NHL ranks. So it's it started there, and
13:49
Speaker 3: then I obviously thought, you know, you're starting to hear
13:51
Speaker 3: of these canceled practices, no morning skate. The coach coming out,
13:55
Speaker 3: Cameron saying that they're tired, and I'm like, well, how
13:57
Speaker 3: are they tired? You built the program, you built the
13:59
Speaker 3: training camp for them. You should have them dialed in
14:01
Speaker 3: and know exactly where they are. They're in Canada, they're
14:04
Speaker 3: at home. This should be the easiest kind of way
14:07
Speaker 3: and easiest format for them to be in the best
14:10
Speaker 3: possible shape. So canceling practice is tough, especially in a
14:14
Speaker 3: short form tournament, because you need kind of those reps,
14:16
Speaker 3: whether you're walking through things or you're you know, trying
14:20
Speaker 3: to do some one on one battle drills. I think
14:21
Speaker 3: just getting guys on the same page, because it just
14:24
Speaker 3: didn't seem like that the whole tournament. They were chasing it,
14:26
Speaker 3: you know, and they never got their feet under them.
14:29
Speaker 3: You know, discipline was a huge issue. And on top
14:33
Speaker 3: of discipline, yeah, we talk about that last time, right
14:35
Speaker 3: the America.
14:35
Speaker 1: You can't give the four power plays they score the
14:37
Speaker 1: three of them is bru.
14:38
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, and you can't be undisciplined if you're undsciplined,
14:40
Speaker 3: then you can't have a bad penalty kill you at
14:42
Speaker 3: least have to be dialed in there, and they just
14:44
Speaker 3: didn't look like they were in sync.
14:45
Speaker 4: It.
14:45
Speaker 3: It was a mess, you know, and I kind of
14:48
Speaker 3: give more ownership behind the bench than on the ice.
14:51
Speaker 3: You know, they awful. They lost Matt Schaeffer is a huge,
14:54
Speaker 3: huge loss, and you know they got good goaltending for
14:56
Speaker 3: most of them for most of the tournament. But you know,
15:00
Speaker 3: it's just one of those things. It's anybody could win.
15:03
Speaker 3: But I feel like this really showed that everybody in
15:06
Speaker 3: the world's catching up now. So Hockey Canada either has
15:09
Speaker 3: to adapt or we're gonna get left behind. So we
15:11
Speaker 3: have to figure out a way to kind of manage
15:14
Speaker 3: and become better managers of these players and also have
15:19
Speaker 3: a better selection process and not have it be so
15:22
Speaker 3: political and be unbiased. And then listen when you are playing,
15:26
Speaker 3: when you're bringing these guys on these teams that are
15:28
Speaker 3: on the same team and play on the same line,
15:30
Speaker 3: do not switch up the lines. Let the familiarity come through,
15:34
Speaker 3: let them play together, and you'll just you'll see that
15:38
Speaker 3: we'll be there at the end of the tournament. At
15:40
Speaker 3: least in the meddling. Not getting a medal is oh
15:43
Speaker 3: is embarrassing for Canada, but you know, credit to us.
15:46
Speaker 3: They were the team to beat all tournament. They were fantastic.
15:49
Speaker 2: How do you gonna feel if you're a Capitals fit MVP?
15:51
Speaker 1: Ryan Leonard speaking of Hudson's you got Cole Hudson who
15:54
Speaker 1: led the tournament, scoring both those guys Caps prospects.
15:57
Speaker 3: I tell you what, Cole Hudson was my player at
16:00
Speaker 3: the tournament. I watched him a couple games intently. He's
16:05
Speaker 3: so good. Uh, he's he's I think he's going to
16:08
Speaker 3: be a level above Lane. I just think he has
16:12
Speaker 3: a he is a little bit more of a mean
16:14
Speaker 3: streak and physicality to him that I think Lane doesn't have,
16:17
Speaker 3: and and a little bit more more arrogance to him
16:20
Speaker 3: in the in the good sense. So I I really
16:22
Speaker 3: do think, you know, and I feel like he's going
16:24
Speaker 3: into a better situation than Lane is. You know, Capitals
16:28
Speaker 3: are going to win now, and he's just gonna aid
16:29
Speaker 3: in that win now scenario. Like I thought for me
16:31
Speaker 3: going into a scenario where I was on a playoff
16:34
Speaker 3: team my first two years, uh, you know, my first
16:36
Speaker 3: six helped me so much more than being on a
16:38
Speaker 3: rebuilding team because I learned how to win like that.
16:41
Speaker 3: And he already has the pedigree winning at the World Juniors.
16:44
Speaker 3: And now he's going to go on to a team
16:47
Speaker 3: that's going for the playoffs a year in and year out,
16:49
Speaker 3: especially with ov not slowing down, and and you know
16:52
Speaker 3: they're they're going to be challenging for a Stanley Cup
16:55
Speaker 3: for for at least a couple of years. And he's
16:57
Speaker 3: just gonna aid in.
16:58
Speaker 1: That Carbs right now, speaking of Coach of the Year
17:02
Speaker 1: right now for the Jack Adams Spencer carb is in
17:03
Speaker 1: a phenomenal of that cab. Yeah, it's it's been a
17:07
Speaker 1: really good story for them and obviously great news of
17:09
Speaker 1: those young players on the way. All right, still to
17:11
Speaker 1: come here in the podcast, we will get into the
17:12
Speaker 1: Golden Globes winners and losers, plus the long gestating topic
17:16
Speaker 1: at least off the year. Here an NHL in scripted
17:18
Speaker 1: about the Kardashians as Kylie Jenner now dating everyone's favorite
17:21
Speaker 1: IT boy timidates Shallow May.
17:22
Speaker 2: But first Frank Frank the tank is next a lot
17:34
Speaker 2: of pleasure bringing.
17:34
Speaker 1: An absolute powerhouse in the world of online sports media,
17:38
Speaker 1: a blogger, a vlogger, a podcast or a hot dog officionado,
17:42
Speaker 1: the host of Frank Watson, all around king of every
17:45
Speaker 1: online platform, and of course he's also a huge Devil's fan.
17:48
Speaker 1: Frank the Tank Fleming Frank, it is great to see you.
17:50
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us here an NHL unscripted.
17:52
Speaker 3: Give me a little bit of your state of affairs
17:54
Speaker 3: with the Devils. What are you like in not liking
17:57
Speaker 3: so far this season?
17:58
Speaker 5: Well, they had a good December, but they've been I
18:04
Speaker 5: don't know, came out the holiday break kind of like fat.
18:08
Speaker 5: I mean, they're allowing way too many breakaways, odd man
18:15
Speaker 5: rushes against themselves. They've I mean they're lucky to beat
18:21
Speaker 5: the Cracking on Monday. That at that ended a four
18:24
Speaker 5: game losing streak. Uh. They didn't play poorly in Carolina,
18:27
Speaker 5: but their three losses to the Ducks, the Sharks, and
18:31
Speaker 5: the Kings were just terrible. I mean, losing to the
18:34
Speaker 5: Sharks twice.
18:35
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, hey, come on, I'm a celebrity guy,
18:39
Speaker 3: come on now.
18:42
Speaker 6: The Sharks are a terrible team.
18:44
Speaker 2: Wow.
18:45
Speaker 5: They might have they might have some good young pieces,
18:50
Speaker 5: but that's a team that couldn't win the Stanley Cup
18:54
Speaker 5: came close, had a couple of great years, but didn't
19:00
Speaker 5: prepare for the after properly. And they're like, it's it's
19:08
Speaker 5: hard to build in the NHL. If you look at
19:11
Speaker 5: the NHL, it's hard to build in the NHL. If
19:15
Speaker 5: you go down, you're gonna go down for a while.
19:19
Speaker 5: I mean the Red Wings, how long have they been
19:21
Speaker 5: down now?
19:21
Speaker 2: Five years? Haven't made the playoffs?
19:23
Speaker 3: Too long?
19:23
Speaker 5: You're not gonna make it this year either. No, it
19:25
Speaker 5: looks like they're on the bridge last year, but they're
19:27
Speaker 5: taking a step back this year. The Devils after twenty
19:34
Speaker 5: twelve had a decade in the in the wilderness. I'll
19:39
Speaker 5: say you it's gonna have a decade in the wilderness
19:41
Speaker 5: coming up. The Bruins.
19:43
Speaker 3: Oh, it's getting it bad there too.
19:44
Speaker 5: They made one if if lucky, two more years of
19:51
Speaker 5: being relevant and then they're gonna be bad. And I'm
19:53
Speaker 5: talking bat black Hawks bad.
19:56
Speaker 2: Wow?
19:57
Speaker 5: Where in the black Hawks? They wanted three Cups? They
20:00
Speaker 5: did a run, but then he didn't They had they
20:03
Speaker 5: just didn't have to players who replaced them as they
20:05
Speaker 5: got old. They're gonna be bad. Penguins are gonna be bad.
20:08
Speaker 5: Teams are on the verge of just being bad, and
20:11
Speaker 5: it takes a while to turn things around in the NHL.
20:14
Speaker 1: Let's get to the Bruins a little bit more, because
20:16
Speaker 1: you're right, Frank, they've lost five straight games. They lose
20:18
Speaker 1: against the Edmonton Oilers rematch the nineteen ninety Stanley Cup Final,
20:21
Speaker 1: love Bill Ramford. But you know Pastorak hasn't been the
20:24
Speaker 1: same player, Marshan McAvoy. Obviously the coaching change the game,
20:28
Speaker 1: a little bit of spark. Monty was the fall guy.
20:29
Speaker 1: But you think this is gonna get precipitously worse right now?
20:32
Speaker 1: They're a playoff team. You don't see them being a
20:33
Speaker 1: playoff team. You see them bottom me out.
20:35
Speaker 5: I see them getting in the playoffs this year and
20:39
Speaker 5: then maybe next year. But then it's gonna be bottom barrel,
20:45
Speaker 5: like the Red Wings, like the black Hawks, like the Sharks,
20:49
Speaker 5: where these were teams that were contended for several years,
20:53
Speaker 5: but he didn't they held on too long. They they
20:57
Speaker 5: didn't make the trades, they didn't make the plays, and
21:00
Speaker 5: didn't make the replace the older guys, and they're gonna
21:05
Speaker 5: be bad.
21:06
Speaker 3: You know, you've been known to like have these great
21:08
Speaker 3: takes and just talking a little bit like your knowledge
21:10
Speaker 3: is vast of the game, and you know, sometimes people
21:14
Speaker 3: overlook that because you have these crazy rants and you
21:16
Speaker 3: get really fired up and passionate. But I wanted to
21:18
Speaker 3: talk about that because what are something like, what's like
21:21
Speaker 3: your one thing where every time you see a team
21:24
Speaker 3: during a game pull it off like it's without fail
21:26
Speaker 3: to make you snap.
21:30
Speaker 5: Sloppy play just just allowing like a hundred breakaways, allowing
21:37
Speaker 5: rebound shots and not taking the body, not not clearing
21:42
Speaker 5: the puck, letting that just getting trapped in your zone
21:46
Speaker 5: and then next thing, you know, the goalie can't do
21:49
Speaker 5: anything and the puck is buy him. I mean, and
21:53
Speaker 5: that's what's been the devil has been since Christmas. It's
21:56
Speaker 5: it's it's they were playing so well, they were getting
21:59
Speaker 5: allowing twelve shots in some games, eight straight games of
22:04
Speaker 5: us one left shots where when he when he played
22:08
Speaker 5: small hockey, where they they pushed the puck to the board,
22:12
Speaker 5: make it hard for them to get the shot. Not
22:15
Speaker 5: thing that's a pet peeve of mine. You got two
22:20
Speaker 5: feet away from the red line and you dump it
22:21
Speaker 5: in and you get an icing, I mean, the centerized icings.
22:28
Speaker 5: It's just and you know, that's when that's when goals happen.
22:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, just take a stride. Just take one more stride,
22:36
Speaker 3: take one more stride. Don't lay up, don't come up lame.
22:39
Speaker 1: Frank, your your origin story is amazing. People don't know, like,
22:42
Speaker 1: how how did you get to this level? If you
22:44
Speaker 1: had mind blowing in her access with celebrities, how did
22:46
Speaker 1: you become what you had become, which is a very
22:48
Speaker 1: successful online presence.
22:51
Speaker 5: I've always had the ability, I just needed the opportunity,
22:56
Speaker 5: and the opportunity came when Barstool called after my New
22:59
Speaker 5: Jersey Transit ran, Oh.
23:03
Speaker 3: We can, we can get into the New Jersey and
23:04
Speaker 3: J Transit.

23:30
Speaker 1: In literacy there, it's illiterate teachers.
23:34
Speaker 5: They said that it's an unfair requirement and will limit
23:40
Speaker 5: the pool where she couldraw teachers from.
23:42
Speaker 3: That's like a hockey player, not needing to know skate
23:45
Speaker 3: like the.
23:46
Speaker 5: Like the dude like. The New Jersey Teachers Union argued
23:49
Speaker 5: for it, and the state has agreed that the teachers
23:51
Speaker 5: will no longer be required to be literate.
23:56
Speaker 1: Well, it's discrimination, right, You want to help the illiterate
23:57
Speaker 1: people along with the litter, especial when it's helping the
23:59
Speaker 1: education of all of our children.

28:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I see, and I see people wearing those jerseys.
28:09
Speaker 5: I think, no, that doesn't look right. Two Yankee fans
28:13
Speaker 5: wouldn't wear name on the back of the jersey.
28:16
Speaker 3: Uh, well, so those are yeah, those are fu gates.
28:22
Speaker 5: The Central Center is just how loud the PA system
28:25
Speaker 5: is needlessly.
28:26
Speaker 3: Loud, Like you can't hear yourself talk when they play it.
28:32
Speaker 5: Yes, and I think it actually hurts the atmosphere, like
28:37
Speaker 5: they'll pumped in the door like a scrape of the eye. Still,
28:43
Speaker 5: they'll pumped in noise and pumped the loudness, and then
28:47
Speaker 5: they come back on the ice and they're ready to
28:50
Speaker 5: play again. And now you were talking to each other
28:53
Speaker 5: and it's quiet, and it's basically because just how loud.
28:58
Speaker 5: I think it's so loud that during time out set
29:01
Speaker 5: fans actually are just caught and stunned by it.
29:06
Speaker 3: Hockey.
29:06
Speaker 5: There's nothing that really bothers me at hockey games. Oh No,
29:09
Speaker 5: the food, the potential center that bothers me.
29:11
Speaker 3: Oh, it's awful. Prudential is one of the worst. It's
29:14
Speaker 3: so bad.
29:16
Speaker 5: And expensive too. Yeah, I wish I wish more people
29:19
Speaker 5: followed the lead of the Atlanta Falcons and make the
29:23
Speaker 5: food affordable.
29:24
Speaker 3: Yeah. Utah, Utah did it too.
29:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, utah. I like like a soda, they would sell
29:32
Speaker 5: more soda.
29:33
Speaker 6: If they made it three fifty.
29:35
Speaker 2: Yeah.
29:36
Speaker 5: They would sell more hot dogs if they made hot
29:38
Speaker 5: dogs like three dollars.
29:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
29:40
Speaker 3: And you get in a family of four coming there
29:42
Speaker 3: is not getting nipped.
29:43
Speaker 1: Frank the tank fleming obviously doing a great job online
29:46
Speaker 1: makes you check out Frank Walks as borders work.
29:49
Speaker 2: Can't thank you enough man for joining us here on script.
29:51
Speaker 2: This was awesome.
29:52
Speaker 3: Thanks.
29:53
Speaker 5: I look for doing more hockey content. I mean, hockey
29:57
Speaker 5: is just unfortunately overlooked, and right now hockey has.
30:03
Speaker 6: The chance to be the hero.
30:07
Speaker 3: It does.
30:08
Speaker 5: We got a sport that's more popular that sucks, and
30:16
Speaker 5: I am talking about the.
30:17
Speaker 2: End nba A load management sucks.
30:21
Speaker 5: Load management has load management and the just the the
30:25
Speaker 5: two three, the three point shot has ruined the game.
30:29
Speaker 5: They they've they took, they took physically, they took hand
30:32
Speaker 5: checking away from the game, so it's not physical. And
30:34
Speaker 5: now you have teams taking uh forty thirty three pointers
30:39
Speaker 5: at night. They're just going up and down the floor.
30:41
Speaker 5: Shoot shoot shoot, shoot, shoot shoot shoot. There's no strategy.
30:46
Speaker 5: It's whoever has the hot hand at night. If if
30:49
Speaker 5: there's a team that's ice cold, they're not gonna win.
30:52
Speaker 6: They just shoot shoot, shoot, shoot shoot.
30:54
Speaker 5: There's no skill, there's no there's rarely any like exciting
30:58
Speaker 5: plays anymore. And you watch forty eight minutes and if
31:02
Speaker 5: there's a nineteen that's ice and fall behind by thirty
31:06
Speaker 5: points to turn off the set, I mean five o'clock.
31:09
Speaker 5: If there's five minutes left and the game's close, maybe
31:11
Speaker 5: there's a little excitement. But waking up when it's five
31:14
Speaker 5: minutes left, I mean the game is Boringate.
31:19
Speaker 1: Thanks again, Frank, appreciate you man. Thanks Frank, well, Frank.
31:32
Speaker 1: The tank was fantastic. Honestly, Jay, his backstory is amazing,
31:35
Speaker 1: the fact he's dropped all that weight and obviously he's
31:37
Speaker 1: made a huge falling for himself. Inspirational story, wouldn't you say?
31:40
Speaker 3: I mean electric factory and in all cases, and you
31:44
Speaker 3: know who's electric as well. And I want to flip
31:46
Speaker 3: the script here at ND. I see you getting excited
31:49
Speaker 3: because you don't have to run the show. I'll run
31:51
Speaker 3: the show now. I want to talk to about the globes.
31:54
Speaker 3: We got to get into a little bit. You're the Cinephile.
31:57
Speaker 3: You had the famous podcast episodes. Yeah, no known worldwide.
32:02
Speaker 3: We talked about it. You were in that ten percent
32:04
Speaker 3: podcasts only five hundred followers or listeners.
32:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, ninety percent of podcasts have five hundred feeral listeners.
32:10
Speaker 1: Cinophile was in the top ten percent.
32:12
Speaker 3: Folks. He's been waiting to drop that nugget forever because
32:14
Speaker 3: we've broken five hundred.
32:16
Speaker 2: We've seen past. We are on the top time already.
32:18
Speaker 3: But I want to give me your rundown of the
32:20
Speaker 3: Globe is your favorite winner and then your biggest snub
32:24
Speaker 3: throw to see.
32:24
Speaker 1: The Brutalist win, which is a film which is playing
32:26
Speaker 1: in limited release right now.
32:27
Speaker 2: But the director also on Brady Corbet. Adrian Brody won
32:30
Speaker 2: as well.
32:30
Speaker 1: It's interesting when Brody won the Best Actor word for
32:33
Speaker 1: The Penis, he was the youngest actor ever to win
32:35
Speaker 1: the award that award for Best Actor. He was twenty
32:37
Speaker 1: nine years of age. But he never was winning the
32:39
Speaker 1: Golden Globes. Prior to that, Jack Nicholson was winning, Dane
32:41
Speaker 1: da Lewis was winning. So Brodie's encouraging a bit of
32:44
Speaker 1: a resurgence right now with The Brutalist, which a lot of
32:46
Speaker 1: people haven't seen yet, but it's a great film.
32:48
Speaker 2: It's got shades that there will be blood.
32:49
Speaker 1: It's not as good as that masterpiece, but it's about
32:52
Speaker 1: capitalists rise and fall. Three hours and fifteen minutes, epic film.
32:55
Speaker 1: If you like a classic old school movie, you're gonna
32:57
Speaker 1: love The Brutalist. I was really happy that won Best
32:59
Speaker 1: Picture as far as drama was concerned. Now as far
33:02
Speaker 1: as a best wado of the night.
33:03
Speaker 2: A lot of people are.
33:03
Speaker 1: Talking about Amy Moore and I know you're gonna watch
33:06
Speaker 1: The Substance. I can't wait till you watch this movie
33:07
Speaker 1: because it's about female empowerment.
33:09
Speaker 2: It's audacious, it's stunning.
33:12
Speaker 1: What it's really about is, you know, the struggle that
33:14
Speaker 1: women go through sometimes in terms of beauty, and I mean,
33:16
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different issues they deal with. But
33:18
Speaker 1: I thought Demi Moore, it's the biggest award of her
33:20
Speaker 1: career forty five years. She's never won a major award.
33:23
Speaker 1: She was Oscar nominated for Ghost. You know, everyone remembers
33:26
Speaker 1: the run she had with g I Jane stripp, Tea's
33:28
Speaker 1: all the rest of it. But to actually be an
33:29
Speaker 1: award winner in her sixties for a film called The Substance,
33:32
Speaker 1: I can't wait till you see. If the final thirty
33:34
Speaker 1: minutes is absolutely bonkers, You're either gonna love it or
33:36
Speaker 1: you're gonna hate it, but you're gonna be talking about it.
33:37
Speaker 2: Great.
33:38
Speaker 1: See Demi Moore win. It was a really nice night
33:39
Speaker 1: and a nice moment at the Golden Globes.
33:41
Speaker 2: Well.
33:42
Speaker 3: I liked her speech too. I caught her speech. I
33:44
Speaker 3: gotta That's what made me want to watch The Substance
33:46
Speaker 3: is her speech and talking about how she was told
33:48
Speaker 3: she was a popcorn actress and wasn't gonna mount to anything.
33:51
Speaker 3: And you know, my wife, being an actress, we always
33:54
Speaker 3: talk and saying like how it's such a beautiful art
33:57
Speaker 3: because there's no time limit on it. You know, you
33:59
Speaker 3: can just do it. You can hit your stride. Whenever
34:01
Speaker 3: you look at Anthony Hopkins, the career he's had started
34:05
Speaker 3: so late, well into his fifties. You know, Demi Moore
34:08
Speaker 3: had a career when she was young, but there's never
34:11
Speaker 3: It's like it's crazy. It's like a painting that's constantly
34:14
Speaker 3: changing because when you when you get aged out of
34:17
Speaker 3: a certain age bracket, you then are eligible for a
34:20
Speaker 3: certain age bracket and you learn it with experience in
34:22
Speaker 3: life and you get to bring that to art. And
34:24
Speaker 3: that's what I love about movies is just that aspect
34:28
Speaker 3: of it is that it's never ending, it's always changing,
34:31
Speaker 3: and when it's on point and like it there's a
34:34
Speaker 3: good message, it's so much fun to watch. So I
34:37
Speaker 3: actually like that. I'm excited to watch The Substance. Substance.
34:39
Speaker 3: I watched all the trailers last night and then the brutalist,
34:43
Speaker 3: big architecture fan I am. Some would call it the
34:45
Speaker 3: art Vandale of hockey. Would you say Guy Pearce is underrated?
34:50
Speaker 2: Absolutely, He's been in a remark black for a long time.
34:51
Speaker 2: He told a really funny story because now he's making
34:53
Speaker 2: the rounds.
34:54
Speaker 1: He's likely going to be dominant for supporting the actor,
34:55
Speaker 1: probably gonna lose to Kieran Culkin for a Real Pain, which,
34:58
Speaker 1: by the way, speaking as you were discussing about ages
35:00
Speaker 1: and actors, would anybody have expected when Macaulay Culkin was
35:03
Speaker 1: dominating a whole alone, that Kieran Kulkan one day would
35:06
Speaker 1: win an Emmy Award for Succession And now he's the
35:08
Speaker 1: favorite to win an Academy Award for a Real Pain.
35:10
Speaker 1: Now he kind of plays the same guy. He's you know,
35:12
Speaker 1: he's smart ass and stuff.
35:13
Speaker 3: He plays the smart ass the spara alarchy.
35:15
Speaker 1: But he's unbelievable in a Real Pain and I think
35:17
Speaker 1: he might win the Academy Award as well. But yeah,
35:20
Speaker 1: I think Guy Pierce, back to your point, he said,
35:22
Speaker 1: because you know, obviously Nolan in Momento was a really
35:24
Speaker 1: critical film for them. He said, he's going to be
35:26
Speaker 1: in Batman begins and Nolan very famously doesn't have an iPhone.
35:30
Speaker 2: Like he just he just you know, uses a dial
35:31
Speaker 2: up an email. That's it.
35:32
Speaker 1: So he told Guy to come out to England and
35:35
Speaker 1: when he got there, no one pulled him aside because
35:37
Speaker 1: I got bad news. He's there's an executive order Brothers
35:39
Speaker 1: who told me I don't get Guy Pearce, and I'm like, what,
35:42
Speaker 1: he's a guy Pierce is not going to be in
35:43
Speaker 1: Batman period. So you can come see the batmanbile, we
35:46
Speaker 1: can hang and have lunch from Sorry, you're not gonna
35:47
Speaker 1: be in the movie.
35:48
Speaker 2: Furthermore, this is the well.
35:50
Speaker 3: Furthermore, this is incredible to see how excited you got.
35:53
Speaker 3: I haven't seen you have this much energy in six episodes.
35:55
Speaker 1: To that end, let's get into a little bit of
35:57
Speaker 1: smut because one of the big stories here is Timo
36:00
Speaker 1: Tate Shallomey, who's having a moment twenty nine years of age,
36:03
Speaker 1: Golden Globe, nominated for a complete unknown tal liked it
36:05
Speaker 1: more than I did, but I appreciate the fact he's
36:07
Speaker 1: a terrific actor. He sang his own songs. The movie
36:09
Speaker 1: has definitely been a box office hit. He didn't win
36:12
Speaker 1: the Golden Globe, but he's winning at life because if
36:14
Speaker 1: you saw him the Globes, he's there with twenty seven
36:15
Speaker 1: year old Kylie Jenner winning. And I believe if you
36:19
Speaker 1: ask most people, if we just took a wide smath
36:21
Speaker 1: of unscripted listeners, they go, you know, the Kardashians are
36:24
Speaker 1: kind of obnoxious. They're definitely annoying and I got a
36:26
Speaker 1: little grating, but nobody can deny they're incredibly successful and
36:30
Speaker 1: a lot of women want to be them and a
36:31
Speaker 1: lot of men want to be with them. And yet you,
36:34
Speaker 1: Jason Demurz, and what I appreciate about you is like
36:36
Speaker 1: you're a contrarian. You go okay, and I go, you
36:37
Speaker 1: don't think Kim Kardashian. You're telling me if you're a
36:40
Speaker 1: single man. And Kim kardasha walked in with this big
36:44
Speaker 1: caboose of hers and goes, Jay take me. Now, you go, hey,
36:46
Speaker 1: can you move out the way? I'm trying to watch
36:47
Speaker 1: Brady Kachuk. This this is not your jam, is what
36:50
Speaker 1: you're trying to tell me.
36:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, masses are asses for a reason. That that cliches,
36:54
Speaker 3: that's that is a fair point made by somebody a
36:58
Speaker 3: long time ago. And again I go back to my point.
37:01
Speaker 3: They have great mechanics. I'd like to meet the mechanics,
37:04
Speaker 3: shake his hands, see what he does. I'm just sorry,
37:07
Speaker 3: Like it's just, it is what it is.
37:09
Speaker 2: I think you don't think that women are ugly, they're
37:11
Speaker 2: just broke.
37:11
Speaker 3: So you think these women are rich, You're You're not ugly,
37:14
Speaker 3: you're poor. I listen, I think all women are beautiful.
37:16
Speaker 3: I think on your beauty. You know, God created you
37:20
Speaker 3: for a reason. I understand there are some extenuating circumstances
37:23
Speaker 3: where you might need to get work done. Again, that's
37:26
Speaker 3: on you. I don't I don't judge anybody in the
37:28
Speaker 3: sense of saying, hey, I don't think anybody should do
37:31
Speaker 3: it or not do it. I just say, for me,
37:33
Speaker 3: it's not a preference of mind. I look at it
37:34
Speaker 3: and I go that, I'm all right.
37:37
Speaker 2: You would never consider botox. No, I mean, you're a
37:40
Speaker 2: good look at guy, so this isn't an issue. But
37:41
Speaker 2: I'm just sick of what.
37:42
Speaker 3: Hey, you can maybe argue, you could argue my I'm
37:45
Speaker 3: a hypocrite because I got my teeth done, but I
37:47
Speaker 3: had them knocked out. They were once beautiful, and now
37:49
Speaker 3: I've recreated them beautifully. But I did not want to
37:51
Speaker 3: get I did not get full veneers. I just went
37:54
Speaker 3: and got braces and did it the old fashioned way
37:56
Speaker 3: and tried to straighten them out. But no, I would
37:59
Speaker 3: never touch botox. I think aging is a is a privilege.
38:04
Speaker 3: It's something that we all strive to do and live
38:06
Speaker 3: a long time. And I think you got to wear
38:07
Speaker 3: those wrinkles proudly.
38:08
Speaker 6: Baby.
38:09
Speaker 2: But one guy disagree with it, was timoth Ty Shaloman.
38:11
Speaker 2: He's like, you know what, I'm in on the generous, let's.
38:13
Speaker 3: Get hey if you do. I'm also like, let's your
38:16
Speaker 3: freak flag fly. Whatever you want to do, whatever you like,
38:19
Speaker 3: you do it as long as you're a good person.
38:21
Speaker 3: He seems like a good person. I don't know much
38:22
Speaker 3: about the Kardashians inside the room, but they could be
38:25
Speaker 3: great people. And they seem to bag some pretty famous people,
38:29
Speaker 3: so they got something going for him. And they're successful. Listen,
38:32
Speaker 3: they've built an empire. I'm not saying that. I just
38:35
Speaker 3: say they have great mechanics for looks, That's what I
38:38
Speaker 3: call it. I call it mechanics.
38:39
Speaker 2: Now, all right, Ian bagg is hysterical. You're gonna love
38:43
Speaker 2: this interview. Do this guy's really funny Cannocks fan.
38:45

Speaker 2: Originally I just oh, he started negative, right, negative here
39:26
Speaker 2: connects Canadians.
39:27
Speaker 1: I went, I was at the game in Montreal and
39:29
Speaker 1: I said, God, there's just a black cloud around this
39:31
Speaker 1: Vancouver team.
39:32
Speaker 2: And they said, well, it's that's the fan base.
39:34
Speaker 1: When you haven't won a Cup and you held with
39:35
Speaker 1: eighty two and ninety four and twenty eleven.

Speaker 2: Ooh, you know.
39:55
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's always going on. But then you
39:57
Speaker 4: have to deal. You said you're a Montreal Canadians fan.
40:00
Speaker 4: That's a lot of pressure right there, trying to look fan.
40:04
Speaker 4: See well, sitting in the seats and not be in Vancouver.
40:07
Speaker 4: We'll spill popcorn on each other, you guys. I remember
40:10
Speaker 4: I went to a Montreal game and they had a
40:12
Speaker 4: smoking section at one point, you know what I mean,
40:14
Speaker 4: Like it used to be cool, and it used to
40:16
Speaker 4: be cool. It was had, it had carpeted walls in there.
40:20
Speaker 6: I loved it.
40:20
Speaker 4: It was just you were just going into some Frenchies,
40:23
Speaker 4: old houses. What you're doing. You're just going going in
40:25
Speaker 4: there and just talking with Relay Levec and his little cigarette.
40:29
Speaker 1: Was fantastic, Michelle Grul just a haze of smoking.
40:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was fantastic, and there was there was a buzz.
40:36
Speaker 4: You knew when when they were about to score there
40:40
Speaker 4: just all of a sudden, it was just a ring
40:41
Speaker 4: of excitement going around the building. And of course I
40:44
Speaker 4: was sitting so far up I had to look at
40:46
Speaker 4: the TVs to see what was going on on the
40:49
Speaker 4: scoreboard because you couldn't see the scoreboard. Remember how they
40:51
Speaker 4: built up a higher the scoreboard.
40:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was fantastic.
40:54
Speaker 4: And then they just decided to move into a new
40:56
Speaker 4: building and they turned that into a mall.
41:00
Speaker 1: I have.
41:01
Speaker 3: I have been in there. There's a movie theater, there's
41:04
Speaker 3: out its stores, and there's just a couple of seats
41:06
Speaker 3: right in the middle when you walk in.
41:08
Speaker 6: I love it.
41:08
Speaker 4: I went there and they had they had a comedy
41:11
Speaker 4: show there. I did a comedy show there, and I said,
41:13
Speaker 4: I had dreams as a kid of playing this place,
41:15
Speaker 4: not once as a comedian, you know what I mean.
41:18
Speaker 1: So it's like saying I spent a month there one night.
41:22
Speaker 1: It's just you can't take a second ago.
41:23
Speaker 4: Wait, and it still smells like arena. That's what's great
41:26
Speaker 4: about it. You can't get that smell out. You know
41:28
Speaker 4: that that exhaust from the zamboni will leak into the pavement.
41:32
Speaker 2: It certainly will.
41:34
Speaker 3: Uh I and I gotta I gotta jump in because
41:36
Speaker 3: I I follow you on Instagram a little bit, and
41:39
Speaker 3: you know your your social media, you're you know the
41:42
Speaker 3: I feel like, how stand up comedies kind of transformed
41:46
Speaker 3: a little bit with these viral clips and the crowd work.
41:49
Speaker 3: How how did you kind of take to that and
41:51
Speaker 3: was it something that you're a little resistant to at first.
41:54
Speaker 4: So it's been coming down the tubes for a bit.
41:57
Speaker 4: I noticed people were getting like attention from it. Uh,
42:01
Speaker 4: the whole industries change quite a bit. And I had
42:05
Speaker 4: this kid just talk to me one night and he said, hey,
42:08
Speaker 4: you should be putting clips up and I was like, yeah, yeah, whatever. Anyways,
42:12
Speaker 4: somebody else introduced me to him again and said, hey,
42:14
Speaker 4: that guy does.
42:15
Speaker 6: Really really good stuff.
42:16
Speaker 4: So I talked to him and he said, he said,
42:22
Speaker 4: I think you'll get a lot of people with what
42:25
Speaker 4: you do. People will like to pay attention to it,
42:29
Speaker 4: right because the kids is always going to be different.
42:30
Speaker 4: You always got material. I was like, I didn't really
42:33
Speaker 4: understand it, but I had learned during the pandemic that
42:36
Speaker 4: the people that I was working with weren't really good.
42:40
Speaker 4: So I kind of fired everybody and was on my own.
42:43
Speaker 4: I was like I'll give it a chance, right. I
42:45
Speaker 4: learned a long time ago mostly resistant to change is
42:48
Speaker 4: the first letter to be left behind.
42:50
Speaker 6: So I gave it.
42:51
Speaker 4: I gave it a shot, and I've got to be
42:53
Speaker 4: honest with you. Within two weeks, I noticed people were
42:56
Speaker 4: noticing my stuff on all these different social medias like
43:00
Speaker 4: YouTube and Instagram and Facebook and TikTok, and it's it's changed.
43:06
Speaker 4: It's changed my world completely. It's the most it's the
43:10
Speaker 4: most uh uh. It's the most attention I've ever got
43:15
Speaker 4: in my career. And I've done a lot of stuff,
43:17
Speaker 4: and most interesting, I was able to take clips from
43:20
Speaker 4: my uh special that I put on Amazon Prime, clip
43:25
Speaker 4: it up and make probably a thousand times more than
43:29
Speaker 4: I was paid for doing this.
43:32
Speaker 3: Wow.
43:34
Speaker 4: I think if you're an entertainer, you should have three
43:37
Speaker 4: one minute clips a week that you can put out
43:39
Speaker 4: there for people to do. It doesn't have to be
43:41
Speaker 4: just just off, you know, off the cuff kind of stuff.
43:45
Speaker 1: So I also love movies, the fact that Ian You're
43:48
Speaker 1: an MVP two, which is everyone's favorite film, but a
43:51
Speaker 1: hockey playing chimp.
43:52
Speaker 4: So I I had a meeting with this management company
43:56
Speaker 4: that said, what would you.
43:57
Speaker 6: Like to do and I was like, I don't know.
44:00
Speaker 4: You know, I was pretty young at the time, and
44:03
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know what I want to do,
44:04
Speaker 4: and I'd like to make a monkey.
44:06
Speaker 6: Movie and uh, and I want to I.
44:08
Speaker 4: Want to work with I want to do a hockey
44:10
Speaker 4: movie and I want to work with a chimpanzee.

44:15
Speaker 6: I'll do the hockey. Yeah. Yeah.
44:17
Speaker 4: They came back to me and said, what if we
44:18
Speaker 4: can put both those things that you want to do.
44:22
Speaker 6: Into one film?
44:23
Speaker 4: And I was like, you guys are brilliant, you guys,
44:26
Speaker 4: you pulled this off.
44:28
Speaker 6: But they did. Yeah, they did.
44:29
Speaker 4: And so so I spent six weeks in Vancouver skating
44:33
Speaker 4: around the ice with a chimpanzee and out of its
44:36
Speaker 4: mind director yelling out keep it real. H that was
44:40
Speaker 4: my favorite part, and keep this real. And I'm like,
44:43
Speaker 4: you're out of your mind, Robert Vince go so uh,
44:49
Speaker 4: but it was fun.

45:02
Speaker 4: in between the intermissions.
45:03
Speaker 6: Right, do you remember of that?
45:04
Speaker 2: I don't know.
