1:19

Right? Like, no. stakes

1:22

perfect. Roy, you can probably do this voice.

You know. he's wearing a love mic and

1:51

he sounds like he's in a studio. It's ridiculous.

1:54

No. Roy,

2:27

Great question. Roy, you are just

2:30

returning now from Chris a

2:32

Chris Cody Tripp you and he went to

2:34

CANADA AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT

2:36

IS GOING TO BE AT THE END OF THIS

2:38

HOUR. I'VE BEEN TOLD AND THIS

2:41

IS premo spot here.

2:43

We usually don't give show spaces

2:45

2:47

are returning with content

2:50

from Canada. You flew there, metal art

2:52

media, paid to send you there,

2:54

and you're coming back with content what

2:56

is the content that is going

2:58

3:00

So Chris Kony and I went up to Toronto

3:03

to cover the Haki hall of

3:05

fame, Roberto Long, go for the Florida

3:07

Panthers. He was inducted on

3:09

Monday. Is he the first Panther? He is

3:11

3:13

he's the first man that you know that would be too

3:15

far. Pebble breweries in the hall of fame he played for

3:17

the pencil. Well, but we went up

3:19

there because this was a historic moment.

3:21

You care about hockey. We're gonna cover sports

3:23

things. Tony and juju and Lewis went to

3:26

went to a

3:28

a UFC fight in New York, and you're coming

3:30

back with five MSG. Ten

3:33

minutes of gold. What are we

3:35

going to hear at the end of this hour? You

3:37

are going to hear an interview that

3:39

Me, Chris, and David Drock from Local

3:41

Ten did with

3:42

Phil Prichard. He is

3:43

the keeper of the cup. He handles

3:46

the Stanley Cup. Like, all yeah.

3:48

Great gig. Through all the major events and

3:50

throughout the days, what Stanley Cup champion

3:52

players end up having a

3:54

day with the cup. He's there. So

3:56

we got a witness to all the depauchery

3:58

that has been -- So secured with -- you went to

4:00

interview somebody who was secured. Oh,

4:03

no. No. He's not He's

4:05

not just a keeper of the cup. He's the keeper

4:07

of anecdotes. He's gone too far then. He

4:09

went to white gloves then. White

4:11

gloves Does he tell time? Does he

4:13

tell you the good stories? Is he giving

4:16

up the stories in this interview of

4:18

of the of the the the filing

4:20

that people have done to that couple? listen

4:22

and find out. Listen and find out because we

4:24

ask them. Okay. So that is a

4:27

What I mean, III do

4:29

they

4:29

travel it with the the bag over

4:32

it? It's in a it's in a case.

4:34

In a case? Yes. It's in a case. I always think

4:36

it's funny every time I go to finals

4:38

game in NBA, and they bring out the trophy,

4:40

and they've got the bag over it. Like, it's a bird

4:42

that's gonna get freaked out by all the people around.

4:44

Like, relax. I

4:45

drink a nappy light out of the Stanley Cup once.

4:48

Whoa.

4:48

Look at me. I

4:52

mean, how do you drink? You poured it

4:54

in and Yeah.

4:55

someone poured it in the Stanley Cup

4:57

at a Notre Dame tailgate -- Why?

4:58

-- crank out of it. Now it's only a Black

5:01

Hawk's cup run?

5:01

Actually, the penguins, there were two notable --

5:03

I wanna know more hockey player did

5:06

not did it come with a penicillin shot,

5:08

or do you have to go get that in one way?

5:10

for a few days. Like, what? what

5:12

disease I might get. Well, I mean, just

5:14

it is honestly embarrassing to me

5:16

as a show that Billy Gill is talking

5:18

about the three different kinds of clothes that

5:20

he would wear to scrub down his

5:22

grocery bag. And here's Jessica tailgating,

5:25

drinking, netty lights at him.

5:27

The foulest cup that there's

5:29

been since, like, the stone ages. It's

5:32

fair. Yeah. It's tough for me. But it was

5:34

Cree COVID. Right? It

5:35

was. It was, like, twenty sixteen or

5:37

twenty seventeen. And The reason that I

5:39

ended up in this position was because I was at

5:41

this tailgate. And all of a sudden,

5:43

I saw the black case appear. And

5:45

the black daily cup case is unmistakable.

5:48

It's massive. It's like something that you'd

5:50

carry like band gear around

5:52

it. Yeah. Yeah. I

5:53

saw it at tailgate. And I was like, that's the

5:55

STANLEY Cup case. And I had been You

5:56

recognize I recognized

5:57

the case immediately because I had been on STANLEY

5:59

Cup watch in my local

6:02

news internship in Chicago the year before when

6:04

the Black Hawk's won, and I never gotten

6:06

close to it because we were on this

6:08

elusive cup punt and every time we'd show up

6:10

somewhere the cup would have just left. So I knew

6:12

what I was looking for and I was like, oh,

6:14

it's

6:14

the Black Stanley cup case. So

6:15

I got I positioned myself

6:18

in a way where I was, like, right next to

6:20

who

6:20

I determined to be the people kinda

6:22

taking charge of it. SO I ENDED UP

6:24

IN FIRST PLACE AND FIRST IN LINE

6:26

TO DRINK THE NADDY LIGHT OUT OF THE CUP. Reporter:

6:28

ARE YOU FILING THIS UNDER INVESTIGATIVE JOURNAL

6:32

IS SHOWING ME What what

6:34

is the sign that you're making while being

6:36

photographed with the cup? I say, hey,

6:38

I I I'm here with the cup. can

6:40

you move away? You're pointing

6:42

at the cop with with two fingers,

6:44

with your pinky finger, and your index

6:46

finger? Yeah. It was

6:48

a total coincidence, though. Like, I just happened to be the

6:50

right place at the right time after I thought the

6:52

cuphead evaded me the whole year. I found

6:54

it at an Notre Dame tailgate and drinking Adi

6:56

Lite

6:56

out of I I would want more about

6:58

this story. You're No. I'm sorry. Not

7:00

to cut you off. You know what the grossest part about

7:02

Jessica's story is? to

7:04

drank naddy light. Yeah, man. What are you

7:06

doing there? It's a tailgate, brother.

7:08

No. No. No. It's a tailgate. It's a tailgate.

7:11

Get some miller light in there. tailgate

7:13

Indiana. Miller Lite

7:15

is from the Midwest. It's from Milwaukee,

7:17

Wisconsin, and it tastes great.

7:20

And it's less filling only ninety six

7:22

calories. Not the fact that she would drink

7:24

natural ride about this. Yeah. You're

7:26

you're Come on, guys. You are totally correct,

7:28

but it's what makes the story even

7:30

dirtier. Yeah. Out of Right? She was

7:32

having this it's nanny Lite.

7:34

It you know, perhaps blue ribbon.

7:36

I don't know. There there

7:37

are a few dirty details.

7:40

Rolling Rock is at a dirty Dirty

7:42

beers to be like, the cup is dirty enough

7:44

and then there's the dirty beer. Or the dirty

7:46

beers. Keystone Light. He's still lighter than

7:48

mine. He's a thirty Thirty. I have a

7:50

lot of years. Thirty years. Thirty years.

7:53

It's it's cheaper. You know you're cheaper. You're

7:55

not as good as the other beers. You're not even

7:57

trying hard enough, but it's dirty

7:59

to drink

7:59

it out of the cup. I I look. The

8:02

part that I'm not understanding though

8:04

is why was Why

8:05

were you a second late to everywhere the

8:08

cup was? Were you in pursuit

8:10

of the cup and it was mysteriously evading

8:12

you? because you could've made a call as a reporter

8:14

and just tracked down the and

8:16

cornered the person, Royed it. You're not wrong.

8:18

This was local news reporting at its

8:21

peak, Dan. It was like oh,

8:22

we have to go get a a

8:24

shot of the cup for, you know, our

8:26

our b roll for our night, five

8:28

o'clock news show. the cup was

8:30

last seen at Ridley Field. Let's see if we can get

8:32

close to Ridley Field and take like, get a

8:34

a shot of it on our camera. And so,

8:36

like, I'd be driving the news truck and photographer

8:39

run out and try to get a video of it, and I was sitting in

8:41

the news truck, like, what the hell? I wanna see the Stanley

8:43

Cup. But I'm just the lowly news intern

8:45

who's not getting paid. Is

8:46

this the four or

8:48

after when you're being a terrible

8:50

hockey television camera

8:53

person. Around the

8:55

same time. Alright. So you are yeah.

8:57

You laughing her, I mean, but she's hustling

8:59

her way up, like, the bowels of

9:01

journalism. filming

9:03

shitty things and trying to get near the

9:05

car. Oh, wait. She talked about it

9:07

yesterday. Those cameras are huge.

9:09

I in my mind, I imagined Jess to

9:12

turn the camera and she just, like, run

9:14

and then hang off and

9:16

just swing. because those they're

9:18

heavy. Right? Those cameras are super like

9:20

a pirate on a ship trying to change the

9:22

mask. Yeah. But I still don't

9:24

understand why you couldn't get to

9:26

the cop and then you look up and it's

9:28

like some religious

9:30

artifact has arrived next to you and

9:32

your decision is I'm gonna drink dirty

9:34

beer out of it. That is a percent correct.

9:36

It

9:36

was it was remarkable to after all

9:38

those years of the cup of dating me.

9:40

It was like, oh, it's at our local news station

9:42

on this day, but wasn't at work that day.

9:44

I just missed it. Like, that kind of shit kept

9:46

happening. You never succeededjournalistically. You

9:49

never. In getting near the cup, never.

9:51

Roy So Roy has secured an

9:53

interview that you've wanted all your

9:55

life. Roy works

9:56

for Metalark Media in the Dan Levittard

9:59

show. That

9:59

surpasses the local news station

10:02

that I was interning for by several

10:04

degrees. Shows on how to intern, dude.

10:06

Alright. So we will we will

10:08

hear that in a moment. and I'm hoping

10:10

that someone is getting Whittingham's popcorn

10:13

business review off the ground

10:15

because I believe that you can be an

10:17

international and national popcorn

10:19

eater. I have a super dick. I have strong

10:21

opinions of all of the local

10:23

sports team's ability to serve popcorn,

10:26

sneaky, sneaky good. Sneaky

10:28

number one in South Florida is

10:30

University of Miami basketball, which

10:32

is surprising because I went actually

10:34

I went to a A Caine's women's basketball game.

10:36

Weren't a ton of people there, but I was happy to be

10:38

there. And I was surprised

10:41

that they were making popcorn.

10:43

They actually put colonals into the

10:45

machine and then popped the popcorn

10:47

there. Most people and this is I've

10:49

done some journalism about popcorn because

10:51

you got into media areas, and you see

10:53

the people walking through the bowels of the

10:55

stadium with a garbage bag -- Yep. --

10:57

that is filled with popcorn -- Yep. --

10:59

popcorn that they packed three hours

11:01

ago, and they're pouring it into a thing. And

11:03

so you have pretty stale, pretty

11:05

not warm popcorn. And so for them,

11:07

like, most in arena popcorn

11:09

is bad. I don't I don't mean because we we have a good

11:11

relationship with them, and I don't wanna ruin it. Your

11:13

mouth is watering right now. Yeah. It's just

11:15

that everyone is talking so fast. I

11:17

love popcorn. The Miami Marlins

11:20

especially

11:20

in the post COVID period, the immediately

11:22

post they serve, like, up a

11:24

bag. I'm I'm doing a visual thing. Check it

11:26

out youtube dot com slash sanitary friends.

11:28

like, maybe this big for

11:30

eight dollars. It was old and

11:32

stale. It was not good. So I I have

11:35

defined critical takes of all the South

11:37

Florida sports teams. I can't even imagine

11:40

buying

11:40

popcorn at a sporting event now. It's

11:42

it's ludicrous. It's just eight dollars.

11:44

It's not a lot of score, the cheapest

11:46

shit by the not

11:47

allowed popcorn, and it was popped like two

11:49

days ago. It's super still

11:52

just

11:52

awful. Awesome stuff now. Get it

11:54

for free. Get some at halftime or

11:56

whatever. But Why did Obama just get

11:58

free popcorn?

11:59

No.

12:01

Because miss McConnell doesn't want you to

12:03

have popcorn. You've gone too far. No.

12:05

I mean, you had a question

12:07

that I had not considered I

12:10

think the last time you were here, I don't know if

12:12

this conversation broke out around you,

12:14

but very quietly on

12:17

satellite radio, I think forties

12:20

on four, fifties on five,

12:22

sixties on six. They went somewhere

12:24

else because the demographic is

12:26

dying. Mhmm. and we

12:28

were talking about when

12:30

music becomes oldies.

12:32

Mhmm. And what I think of as

12:34

oldies, when I am now watching the

12:36

television commercials that appear

12:38

with Jimmy J J Walker or

12:40

people like that from your childhood who

12:42

are talking to other old people.

12:44

Right. They're on television to tell you, hey, I'm old.

12:46

You remember back when we were young? I'm here

12:48

to sell you something like that. because,

12:51

term, like, you're old I don't know

12:53

if Aldi's music for

12:55

me is gonna be the same as

12:57

Aldi's music for Tony,

12:59

for you, for Roy, depending

13:02

on where I am in the generation. So

13:04

this is this is the genesis of

13:06

this. Then if I

13:08

told you, hey, I'm putting on this oldie station.

13:10

name a song that you think would play

13:13

on it.

13:13

Yeah. I'm thinking you you heard all these what

13:15

kind of me -- Yeah. -- Beatles rolling stones. Right.

13:17

-- Led Zeppelin. Like,

13:18

for me, I think about Motown. Like,

13:20

oh, like, the temptations or whatever. For

13:23

Taro. Yeah. Yes.

13:24

What

13:25

would the oldies song be when you

13:28

turn turn on that station.

13:29

Honestly, I feel like anything like

13:31

Nirvana or around that

13:33

area

13:33

right now. Oh, shit. Yeah. I

13:35

this is this is what I'm talking about. I was at a

13:38

bar and they were

13:40

playing

13:41

the

13:42

biggie hypnotized. And I'm

13:45

like,

13:46

that song is twenty

13:48

six years old. Does

13:50

that make it oldies? because I'm thinking about when

13:52

I was twenty one or

13:54

twenty two. Something that was

13:56

twenty six years old would've been something from the set. It

13:58

would've been disco. And

13:59

so it's of course, that's old. This is an old

14:02

ass sound. But I hear a bit in the title,

14:04

like, yeah, that could come out today. Like, that's that

14:06

that is a current song. Right?

14:08

But

14:08

I'm thinking if you're if you're

14:11

young, like if you're just his age

14:13

bracket, that probably sounds like some

14:15

ancient music, some old people music.

14:16

Well, that that song in particular,

14:19

I think, has stood the test of time.

14:21

Like, young people know that song. The

14:23

movie came out, like, when I was

14:25

in cool. So everyone kinda knows that. But

14:27

yeah, I think just age

14:29

wise, it

14:30

is probably classified as

14:32

an oldie now. Is

14:33

we were

14:35

talking about back street boys I wanted that

14:37

way yesterday in the in the break

14:39

room.

14:39

Is that an oldie song?

14:42

Yeah. I

14:43

I think it kinda so I I looked up,

14:45

like, the top hits from nineteen ninety nine.

14:47

Okay. because, like, that's the last year

14:49

of the nineties. I think I think you

14:52

probably could say anything in the twenty

14:54

first century is

14:55

Not oldies. Not yet. Not

14:57

oldies. Okay. But give it Eight more

14:59

years old. Nineties music.

15:01

Ninety nine. All nineties music

15:03

to you is oldies.

15:05

All genres. Well,

15:06

that's what I'm debating right now because

15:09

Nineteen ninety nine was the start

15:11

of certain young

15:13

stars careers like Britney

15:15

Spears and Christine Aguilera, And I don't

15:17

know necessarily if they're

15:19

oldies yet, but it was also the end of a

15:21

lot of eighty stars careers. Mhmm. So

15:23

there's an interesting overlap in the

15:25

nineties. the top song was a share

15:27

song.

15:27

I think anything Was it do

15:29

you believe in that? You know what

15:31

I mean? Cloud It was. It was. It

15:33

was. I I pulled up the charts from

15:35

exactly biggies hypnotized.

15:37

Yeah. The number one song around that

15:39

time was mbop by Hanson. Is

15:41

that all these? I think I think it's an all these song.

15:44

Renewing the battle of the charts now. up. Do you

15:46

want me to chart off? That's

15:49

an oldie. That's an oldie. That's

15:51

an oldie. I think it is.

15:53

My well, you asked me

15:55

the question, what song gives off

15:57

oldie? For me, I think of z z top sharp

15:59

dress man. That's the first song that pops

16:02

in my head. I've never even heard of that.

16:04

Yeah. It's a song from nineteen eighty three. Yeah.

16:06

But I remember So we used to

16:08

work in the in the radio building at seven

16:10

ninety, and across the hall was the

16:12

Oldie station. Magic 102 point seven.

16:14

DynaSeq platform. 102 points --

16:16

That was on. -- so

16:18

so across the hall was that station. And

16:21

when I started there, was

16:23

a sixties, seventies, Oldie station.

16:25

And I remember somewhere around

16:27

twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, they

16:29

flipped to a seventies eighties --

16:31

Mhmm. -- oldies station. So the sixties

16:33

were no longer on the radio anymore. That was

16:35

too old. So it graduated -- Mhmm. -- so

16:37

it's roughly like a thirty year cycle.

16:40

So basically, if the song is thirty to thirty

16:42

five years old, it's an oldies.

16:44

Oh my god. So now terrifying.

16:46

So now that's that's a it's an eighties ninety station. I

16:48

don't know if they flipped because that

16:50

station is now called the beach down here in South

16:52

Florida. And I don't know if they've, like, stopped playing

16:54

seventies music, but perhaps they haven't too old.

16:56

Give me more from ninety nine. believe

16:58

by share number one. Mhmm. No

17:00

scrubs TLC. Oh, that's an

17:02

oldies. Mhmm. I like

17:07

this segment where we name songs and I mean things that matter.

17:09

And I'm not being sarcastic. I do like that. So

17:11

we're gonna keep doing it. Thanks for clarifying. The next

17:14

one, angel of mine by Monica. Angel

17:16

of mine. It sounds

17:18

like we're doing a commercial for a

17:20

now. That's what I six CD No. No. We're

17:22

just playing nineteen eighty eight seconds of

17:24

the song that you'd recognize. Oh,

17:26

remember the kids bought versions and they took all

17:28

the bad words out. Oh, god. I

17:30

don't ever buy kids. Wow. Wow.

17:33

Wow. Speaking of Billy's argument earlier that kids

17:35

make things worse, kids pop. horrific.

17:38

And I and I thought this when I was nine years

17:40

old. I was like, why would anyone ever

17:42

wanna listen to the sort

17:44

of what sanded down version of pop songs. I

17:46

think the what's worse is when it's not

17:48

even a it's not even like AAAA

17:52

filthy song. Like, is that is that why did it clean

17:54

song? Why do I need a kid singing?

17:56

Right. No. The

17:56

worst is when they put a filthy song

17:58

on, and they water it

17:59

the down. because isn't

18:02

even the same thing anymore. I like big

18:04

boats and I cannot lie. Exactly.

18:06

You other sailors can't deny.

18:09

Wait. Wait. Give me one. Give me one. Heartbreak

18:12

Hotel number four. Oh, Whitney

18:15

Houston. Heartbreak. Oh,

18:17

tell me that. Alright. I

18:20

really want this to stop.

18:22

Number five.

18:23

Number five, I think, is where you have

18:25

to wonder. Is

18:26

this an oldie yet? It might

18:28

be. Baby

18:29

one more time by Britney Spears. Did me mad

18:31

at one more time, which

18:33

I learned yesterday, was the hero's apprentice that

18:35

was telling me this, that the reason why

18:37

the lyrics don't make sense is

18:40

because the guy who wrote it was a

18:42

Swedish guy. He saw this on TikTok. This

18:44

morning. Did didn't speak English? Or

18:46

was didn't speak English well, so he was

18:48

just trying to write stuff that he

18:50

thought, like, sounded right in English. He's also the guy that

18:52

wrote, I want it that way. That's why the lyrics don't

18:54

make any sense. If you read the lyrics

18:56

-- I knew it. -- you are my fighter.

18:59

my one desire. Believe when I say,

19:01

I want it that way.

19:04

It sounds like

19:06

Google translate music writing. If you

19:08

could do if someone here can do a Swedish

19:10

accent and just read it out loud, it makes all the

19:12

sense. You you can't be

19:14

serious that you guys are driving

19:16

the discovery in the last couple of days

19:18

that hit songs lyrics make

19:20

no sense whatsoever because a

19:22

computer in Sweden was trying

19:25

to translate English words that

19:27

dumb people like, hit me baby one more

19:29

time was supposed to be, like, hit me up.

19:31

But because he didn't speak English, he hit

19:33

me baby, which, of course, when

19:35

you say, hit me, they're like, why is she

19:37

asking to get punched in the

19:39

face? She's not she's just singing the words

19:41

of an illiterate man when it comes

19:43

to English. I looked

19:45

up the worst kids pop songs ever to

19:47

be made into kids pop songs. Oh, give it to

19:49

me. There's some doosies on here. What do

19:52

you got? Drake God's plan was the

19:54

Instagram. I've seen the video for

19:56

that. A little shady green on

19:58

that. It's a nice

19:59

star show. instead

20:02

of saying we're higher than a mother

20:04

of bleeper, they say, we're kids bopp

20:06

and we're taking

20:07

over. With kids bopp and we're

20:09

taking over. No. No. No. Anyway, Right.

20:11

And then Cardi V. J. Volvo and Bad Bunny, I

20:13

like it. Oh. Instead of instead

20:16

of where's my pen, bitch,

20:18

I'm singing? for where's my pen? Yeah.

20:20

I'm singing and told bitch, I'm

20:22

sorry, though. For told that kid, I'm

20:24

sorry, though. I was

20:26

like, shit. Totally change. There's so many Drake songs. Like,

20:28

why not just not do the Drake song? When

20:30

is Drake

20:30

gonna be when is Drake gonna be oldies?

20:32

Like, I you guys are very close here

20:35

to same same thing. Music, though. No.

20:38

It's yeah. That's the originals though. But that no.

20:40

But that's what extends you out of oldies.

20:42

If you continue to make music, your

20:44

music doesn't isn't Like, Elton, Elton, John's

20:45

got some hit singles now because he's

20:48

realized he can, like, use his old

20:50

samples, pair himself up

20:52

with, like, do Elipa. And

20:53

now it's not

20:54

like, yeah, I consider most of

20:57

his discography to

20:59

be oldies, but he's also, like, still really

21:01

relevant, so I'm not, like, oh, like, Elton

21:03

John,

21:03

I can't Elton

21:06

John is not old. He's anymore, but Billy

21:08

Joel is ancient. Billy Doley's

21:10

He was ancient the day he was born. No. Like,

21:13

Elton John Stuttgart did. He

21:15

said, I want to be relevant,

21:17

but I don't wanna do any actual

21:19

work. So this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna

21:21

take songs that I've already done, sample

21:23

them, sing some parts over, and then get

21:25

like someone young and hot to sing the

21:27

other parts. and he's basically

21:29

redoing his homework. He's not, like, he's not

21:31

giving us any new things.

21:33

Well, I got bangers though. I I are, but, like,

21:35

come on, man. I've heard people criticize.

21:37

Okay. Billy Joel does Madison Square Garden

21:39

still, right, once a month. Once a month, he's

21:41

just Hey. He can sell it out forever.

21:43

Okay. Once a month, he does a concert.

21:46

And a lot of musicians

21:48

judge that as, oh, you're just mailing it in

21:50

for checks. You're not your heart.

21:52

No shit. No shit.

21:54

What are you talking about? And it's also a

21:56

flex like it's the most famous arena in the

21:58

country you can sell it out every single

22:00

night. That's such cool flex from Billy

22:02

Joel. It's also

22:02

how artists make, I think, most of their

22:04

money because if you're streaming Billy Joel, he's

22:06

getting, like, one cent on the

22:08

knowledge. Didn't know fraction of a penny.

22:10

And

22:10

selling tickets and touring is still

22:12

gonna be in March. Yes. I would

22:14

like to do a way to make all of that

22:16

back. I'd like to be Chris Wooding him on behalf of

22:19

selling out Why why why

22:21

is it? Why is it viewed as a bad thing for

22:23

for Billy Joel to every night

22:25

put twenty thousand people in sing

22:27

the songs that everyone knows.

22:29

If that's selling out, then

22:31

III wholeheartedly endorse it.

22:34

I

22:34

would say to you that what people might

22:37

argue in the most moving places

22:39

where music touches your soul.

22:41

You want the creative artist to

22:44

remain creative and to

22:46

remain inspired. And even if Elton

22:48

John is doing it lazy, it's

22:51

modernized. It's

22:52

an evolution that Billy Joel going in

22:54

and that crazily going in for the

22:56

checks. Not unlike Bruce Springsteen selling

22:58

five hundred million dollars to Sony's

23:01

catalog, and and saying

23:03

that he's gonna do plays

23:05

as well where he tells you his entire story

23:07

is a lie. The boss you

23:09

find yourself yourself

23:11

musically selling the

23:13

soul of what it is that you're doing.

23:17

But I but you

23:17

you're about inspiration. And there

23:20

are probably people who go to those concerts

23:22

that have never seen him before.

23:24

that are inspired to

23:26

belt out piano man for the first

23:28

time with a crowd of people or

23:31

belt out we didn't start the

23:33

fire And for them, that's inspiring. Play the inspiration.

23:35

It's what Michael Jordan always used to

23:37

say, Dan. He said every time I went to the

23:39

arena to play basketball, someone was watching me for

23:41

the first time. so I played the hits.

23:43

And he played them every single night. I mean, he did.

23:46

That's what you did. You can say the same

23:48

about a lot of professions. Like, people can say this

23:50

about journalists too. Right? Like, oh, you're doing

23:52

a commercial well, you have, you know,

23:54

you're a sell, you have commercial interest. And

23:56

that's kind of the system that we operate in.

23:58

Right? But I think the sellout

23:59

thing becomes an issue for artists who are like the

24:02

counter culture artists who then you

24:04

see in

24:04

like a Pepsi commercial or something

24:07

like that, where it's, like, I don't was Billy

24:09

Joel maybe he was counterculture.

24:11

He seems to be, like, kind of on

24:13

that line where he didn't really ever do

24:15

anything too kind of He

24:15

was calm culture more than counting Yeah. He wasn't, like,

24:18

CSNY or, like, one of these bands

24:20

playing about how much they hate, like, Vietnam.

24:22

I I don't know his whole whole,

24:24

like -- God's story. -- phone that was

24:26

goes by. So, like, an

24:28

artist like that or a pop musician or

24:30

someone like Ariana Grande or Backstreet Boys

24:32

or whatever, like, that's made and manufactured to

24:35

be sold and and bought. You can't you

24:37

can't sell out if you were you

24:39

started as a sell out. Right? Like,

24:41

no one's ever gonna accuse a

24:43

a pit

24:44

bull of selling out. Like, his entire

24:46

What do you mean by that? His entire aura

24:48

is Sounds like that's supposed to mean.

24:51

selling out to who? Like, a stern

24:53

a stern warning when you see him. Billy

24:55

and then Billy just emerged me and

24:57

said. Billy Billy just popped out. He's

24:59

been silent the entire segment. As soon as you

25:02

little too tight. The full

eight inches is a bit too big,

just right. The goldilocks of underwear is

26:56

Dana. Stuttgart. You know what? Stuttgart? I

27:27

knock it. Please explain to us in

27:33

as much elaboration as you can why

27:35

it's so wonderful to ride on a roller

27:37

coaster with no underwear. Well, you just get

27:39

that incredible breeze that you can

27:42

only get when you're high up on a roller

27:44

coaster and it's about to go down. And when it

27:46

goes down, oh, does it feel good? It's

27:48

like air conditioning inside your shorts. It's

27:50

amazing. Oh, it really is. This is

27:52

the dilapati show. these

28:12

return from Toronto and we give

28:14

the people the first piece of content

28:16

that we created out there. Before we talk

28:18

about all the content, how would you

28:20

just assess Toronto? Like, what were

28:22

you expecting? And what did you what did

28:24

you get? I was expecting a

28:26

lot of former hockey players, a

28:28

lot of stars out there from the National Hockey League

28:30

that used to play, and that's what we get. I

28:32

I meant just more the city. Like, I was going

28:34

first just the city of Toronto. But if you wanna go

28:36

share a docket, we can do it. is your

28:38

thing. No. No. The

28:39

portion

28:40

in Toronto that I didn't I expect,

28:42

I underestimated the

28:45

amount of chilliness

28:45

from the the lake effect on the

28:47

weather. That was that that was that was that

28:49

was that great. I don't know if it was the lake's fault. It was

28:52

just cold. It was a dreary

28:54

few days The weather, I would say,

28:56

wasn't great. Everyone there seemed to be

28:58

complaining that it had just gotten cold. But

29:00

overall, we got we ate some good food and

29:02

we got some good content. By the way, Air

29:04

Canada, big fan. Big fan of Air

29:06

Canada. Smooth ride up

29:08

and down. The Eastern seaboard. So what

29:10

were the highlights? We went to the legends game.

29:12

This was just and and you're gonna

29:14

hear in the content that we have coming out over the next few days.

29:16

This is just Roy's heaven, Revan, as

29:18

I called it, you know, just

29:21

I'm more of a a novice hockey fan.

29:23

So for me, I wasn't as moved by

29:25

some stuff. It was really cool to see all the

29:27

the legends, but Roy was it

29:29

seemed like you were genuinely moved by the weekend. I was.

29:31

I'm I'm very happy that you

29:34

and our cameraman Danny

29:37

Yeah. We've got to experience. Well, I got

29:39

to experience doing the standard co funnel

29:41

we got on the ice. Yes. I

29:43

almost slipped. You know, you almost you

29:45

almost bust jazz there. Yeah. That

29:47

was I was gonna be there to

29:49

to catch you, but, yeah, you almost fell. So

29:51

we were there two full days the

29:53

first day, we went to the Legends game, which is a

29:55

bunch of old dudes playing hockey. Oh. And

29:57

we got content there. And that's

29:59

where Roy's talking about. That's where we were

30:01

on the ice before before the game for, like, the pregame

30:03

festivities. We got to go on the ice. We

30:05

got content there. We went to the hockey

30:07

hall of fame. We played around there.

30:09

Saw all the cool stuff there. The section of the place with

30:11

the mask was really cool. And then

30:14

we got to talk to Phil Pritchard, the

30:16

keeper of the cup. You're gonna hear

30:18

that interview very shortly. And

30:20

then, I don't know, I I my highlight

30:22

was the red carpet. And then the second

30:24

night, we was the induct and

30:26

ceremony where all of the guys were making their speeches, and

30:28

we got to be on the red carpet. My first

30:30

career, red carpet were it was it was there

30:32

was a buzz in the air. a lot of celebrities,

30:34

a lot of and, actually, not a lot of celebrities. We

30:36

thought there might be some celebrities. The lady next to

30:38

us promised us that there she she was like,

30:40

Koopa Gooding Junior was here last year, and

30:42

there was no No. No actors this year. Yeah.

30:44

Well, Cuba Gooding dream, and Bailey kept himself out

30:46

of jail. So I don't think Maybe it wasn't Cuba

30:49

Gooding. Maybe it was someone else. I don't know

30:51

why I had it being keep keep be getting, but

30:53

that's what she said. It was okay. Then I got it right. I

30:55

thought maybe I got the name wrong. But

30:57

what was your highlight? I'm gonna say my highlight was

30:59

the red carpet and what we decided to tackle

31:01

as our beat on the red

31:03

carpet. What was your favorite part before

31:05

I get to it? my favorite part

31:07

was the trophy room at the hall

31:09

of fame. That was cool. That

31:11

they had the Stanley Cup was there. And

31:14

all the individual awards when they had a hard trophy,

31:16

silky trophy on on the president's trophy and

31:18

at the Panthers won last season. That doesn't matter

31:20

anymore. Yeah. That was there. So

31:23

yeah. That being in

31:24

there to experience historical,

31:26

just prominence in that room, that that

31:28

was that was nice. So at the red

31:30

carpet, there was right at the start of the

31:32

red carpet. Like, basically, it was a sidewalk.

31:35

Cars would pull up. They'd walk past the

31:37

sidewalk onto the red carpet, and there was

31:39

a ledge From the sidewalk, you had to

31:41

step down to get onto the red carpet. And

31:43

because the carpet was right up against the

31:45

ledge, it was very deceptive. So

31:47

people were tripping a lot so much so that

31:49

they brought out like four security guards just

31:51

to stand right on the ledge

31:53

and tell every single person

31:55

entering, watch your step. and

31:57

we decided that was gonna be our beat

31:59

that we were going to like,

32:01

we we talked to some people, we talked

32:03

to a few grades, a former Panther

32:05

player. We talked we we do all the regular

32:07

content stuff, but our real beat was

32:09

seeing if people tripped. walking

32:11

onto the red carpet and spoiler

32:13

alert, some did and we captured it. I can't

32:15

wait for people to see that content. I'm

32:17

very excited about that. Yeah. So in mind, that that was a lot of fun

32:19

out there on the on the red carpet, put

32:22

the exception of the cold. It was freezing. We

32:24

were out there for, like, an hour and forty

32:26

five minute straight. It got

32:28

colder. It got colder, man. And

32:30

while Rowley and I were prepared

32:32

with our, you know, clothing,

32:34

you know, our coats were Florida coats. Neither

32:36

of us had, like, that up north

32:38

coat. So we were struggling with

32:40

that, but it was a lot of fun. And

32:43

that's you know, I I just I

32:45

I enjoy. I've gotten to travel a lot with

32:47

this show recently, and this was up there, man.

32:49

This was really cool. My first time in

32:51

can actually, not my first time. My first time in Toronto,

32:54

good food, good hanging with my

32:56

friends, and I enjoyed it, Roy. This was a

32:58

learning experience for you,

33:00

this one teaches you that you

33:02

need TSA pre check. You need

33:04

to get that done. That's debatable.

33:06

That's debatable. debatable. It took

33:08

you a while to get to that line. So, you know I mean,

33:10

going on with my ass. That's what I mean. I

33:12

feel like we were pretty close to each other on the way

33:14

coming back. You now you're right. That

33:16

first the first morning, go in there and you beat

33:18

me. I'll give you the w there. But

33:20

I still am like, hey, if you get there early

33:22

enough unless you're running late, most of the

33:25

time, You're good, common folk. I'm

33:27

with you. Also joining us on this trip

33:29

was David Dork,

33:31

WP0G

33:31

local ten. He

33:33

covers the Panthers. Digital Florida

33:36

panther friend. That's what I'd call him. A

33:38

panther friend. A pen. A

33:40

pen. He joined us on the

33:42

trip. He helped us out with

33:44

the full picture interview. He helped us out with a lot of the content

33:46

that happened in Toronto. He helped us

33:48

drink. He he

33:49

also helped us. drink.

33:52

So yeah. He he

33:55

joined us on the Phil Pritchard

33:57

interview, and here it is. We are here

33:59

in Toronto, in the Hockey Hall of Fame on

34:01

Roy Bellemeade. That's Chris Cody David drounked in

34:03

my left. And ladies and gentlemen, mister

34:05

Phil Prichard. The keeper of the cup. How

34:08

do we feel about that nickname just right off rip. But first of all, I wanna

34:10

welcome you guys to Toronto. Thank you. We

34:12

actually have hockey weather here. You guys aren't used

34:14

to that, but it's is snowing a bit

34:16

outside. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? The keep with

34:18

the cup thing. I But Lord of the cup,

34:20

maybe, or no. That's the champions of the Lord. Won't tell

34:22

me anything they want.

34:24

The Lord's get a

34:26

paycheck. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. You got it.

34:28

Right. So I got no. What'd you

34:30

put on your resume to get this job? The random

34:32

job. Right. When you start knocking. Well, you know

34:34

what? I mean, first of all, the

34:36

I only hang out with the winners with Yeah. It's

34:38

kinda kinda cool and it it's

34:41

it

34:41

really reduces your stress level because

34:43

everybody's in a good mood all the time.

34:45

Mhmm. But I think it's so cool the

34:47

way hockey has a tradition and an

34:49

hour behind it. and one of the

34:51

great things is obviously the Stanley Cup

34:54

and our white gloves and we're

34:56

always with it everywhere it goes and it

34:58

just ties into the whole tradition of

35:00

hockey. I mean, whether it's beards at playoff times

35:02

or whether it's put your left skid on first

35:04

or whether you see the guy with the white

35:06

gloves, hockey

35:08

has that way of just preserving their history.

35:10

And and here at the hockey hall of

35:12

fame, I think we do that with displays, but we

35:14

do that looking after the trophies as

35:16

well. So

35:18

it It kind of all blends in together. Who's the least interesting

35:20

with the cup? Everyone I was asked you probably,

35:22

who's done the craziest stuff? Who's like

35:24

the boringest person ever with the cup?

35:27

First of all, none of us here have ever won the sailing up.

35:30

So I don't know how we would react.

35:32

Right. Guys all react

35:34

differently. There's a lot of guys that are

35:36

are so overwhelmed.

35:38

You

35:39

think there might be bored,

35:41

but they're just it's it's like

35:43

almost too much. Has the guy ever, like, sat down

35:45

for a nice meal with it? they go to

35:47

a fancy steak house, you put it at the other chair, it's two person dinner. Well, one person -- Wow.

35:49

-- a person in the cup, and it's just and they

35:51

order for the like, it's a it's a whole

35:53

thing. You never

35:56

seen that. I've never seen just one person. Okay. But I have seen, like, five.

35:58

Okay. And then but it has a spot. It has

35:59

a chain spot. And it's and then they

36:02

have dinner and then the

36:04

restaurant are

36:06

surprised when makeup Sunday in the cup. Oh, yeah. Where's our shop tonight? See, that that

36:08

was gonna be my next question. What's because

36:10

I'm sure you've seen all kinds of crazy things happen

36:12

with the cup, but, like, in terms of eating out

36:15

cup. You know what? That all depends. They

36:17

were where we are in the world.

36:19

Like, Progies or some

36:22

type of Russian super popular, obviously,

36:24

in Russia. Some yummy borshed out of

36:26

the bush or something. In

36:29

Massachusetts area, it's usually

36:32

lobsters or clam chowder or something like that. But that's all very

36:34

traditional. Like, is there anything crazy? You

36:36

know? We've seen a lot of different drinks out of a

36:38

lot of different liquids.

36:40

Although, just a a bowl of, like,

36:42

fruity pebbles out of the stomach. Yeah. For

36:44

sure that. Breakfast of Champions,

36:46

apparently, guys say. What about

36:48

maintenance on the cup? III think

36:50

for for

36:51

our staff, we wanna

36:53

make sure so it's a hundred and

36:55

thirty years old now. Right. and we wanna

36:57

make sure it's gonna be a hundred and thirty one thirty two. So every day when

36:59

our day ends, we wanna make sure it

37:01

looks as good as it started.

37:03

So it's silver

37:06

the, obviously, the fingerprints are gone.

37:08

Right. But as we talked about earlier about

37:10

the tradition, we want that to be there

37:12

always. And obviously, the guys have

37:14

fun with it and drink out of it.

37:16

But the

37:17

whole key to the whole

37:18

party or whether our job is the one

37:20

word in its respect. Right. So when you

37:22

saw the avalanche from the cup last

37:25

season, you saw cup fall on the ice and

37:27

a huge dent. What went through your mouth?

37:29

You did a strongly word an email the next day?

37:31

You know what? I I

37:34

didn't strongly to email. It's it

37:36

was unfortunate. It happened, and it

37:38

was obviously live in

37:40

front of twenty thousand people and every

37:42

camera person

37:44

you, like, hurt with the cup? Or are you, like, ugh. It I

37:46

I remember her going forward. I I mean, if

37:48

you if you watched it all and seen

37:50

photo, the guys,

37:52

their faces -- Yeah. -- were

37:54

they were priceless. I think that said it

37:56

all. It was, like, holy smokes.

37:59

What

37:59

happened? Yeah. So

38:02

when that happened in Tampa, we flew back to

38:04

Denver the next morning. We went

38:06

straight to the equipment guys. office at the

38:08

arena. We called him his ambony -- Yeah. --

38:11

driver, who is a mechanic -- Yeah. --

38:13

as well. And we we did

38:15

our staff So good at the parade. Wow. It

38:17

looks great now. Unfortunately, things like

38:20

that happen. There's not one player

38:22

out there and that player that

38:24

happened to would want it

38:26

to happen again. I mean, it's he's

38:28

he's gonna

38:28

be a trivial pursuit moment

38:31

forever an hour. What's a request you got from a

38:33

player to do something with the cup? And you're like, nope. Not

38:36

allowed. Can't do that. An actuary question. I'm

38:38

just saying there had to be some very bad one.

38:40

Oh, wow. No.

38:42

We've had a request. No. We've had a request. We just

38:44

have to say no. Really? What's the we've

38:47

had a lot of fun request?

38:50

Yeah. it wasn't is that because it's never been too off the wall of

38:52

a request? Or is it just because you're just prone

38:54

to just let them kinda have their day? Oh,

38:57

No. No. I mean, III used the word

38:59

respect earlier, and I probably use it

39:01

a lot. If it's

39:04

respectful, no problem. So no one's ever

39:06

shitting the cup. Jesus. That would not

39:08

be respectful. I'm just saying, like, I'm just not I'm

39:10

trying to take it to the extreme here of what

39:12

someone like I would I would why would

39:14

I wanna do that? It's something I just

39:16

wanna a beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach

39:18

beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach

39:20

beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach beach

39:23

beach beach beach. maybe

39:25

somebody drank a little bit too much out of the cup and threw up in

39:27

the cup. because that's not really

39:30

voluntary, but it's still kind of gross. It's in a

39:32

vicinity. Right. You know what?

39:34

It it holds about a two hundred

39:36

ounces of jeez. Of course. I

39:38

think it's sixteen and a half or

39:40

seventeen twelve ounce cans of

39:42

beers. What the most expensive booze that's ever been drinking out of the Stanley Cup. Yeah.

39:44

Wow. I'm gonna guess it's

39:46

probably a Russian vodka

39:48

or or maybe a wine from

39:51

napa valley or something. Do you have a

39:53

backup and can I apply to be it? You go

39:55

on a backup shop or a backup? No. No. Back up you. No.

39:57

You know, you gotta Do you have an apprentice?

39:59

Yeah. Like, maybe that's a better word. you. Yeah. You

40:01

take a couple weeks off. I'll I'll watch the

40:03

cup. Nothing will happen to it. We gotta get a day off every

40:05

so long. So there's a couple of guys that travel with

40:08

it now. And and I think

40:10

we're all very fortunate to do what we do. Yeah. But if you

40:12

ask every one of them, I'd much rather

40:14

win it and have someone else bring it to

40:16

me than than what I look

40:18

after. I thought to be part of

40:20

it, it it is so cool

40:22

and it it's so emotional. It's so

40:24

powerful. Do you ever talk to the cup? I

40:26

would talk to I would talk to

40:28

them. Yeah. A cup argument. I

40:30

kinda hang out with a lot. That's what I

40:32

mean. Like, no one knows it better than

40:34

you. But you know what? I've never lost

40:36

an argument where they there.

40:38

It's never spoken by c. Right? It's Staley.

40:40

We have a Staley down in Florida.

40:42

Be careful, David. Yes. Middle name is

40:44

c. You're at Staley. The mask.

40:46

Yes. we've Stanley see Panther. Was there any scare of it being

40:48

lost? No. There ever been a moment where you're like,

40:50

holy shit. Where is it? Two things. This

40:52

this summer. Anybody that traveled

40:56

in airline industry. No. It was not a guy. Delayed.

40:58

Yeah. We were delayed. We were

41:00

laid on flights. The supply chain is Yeah.

41:03

It is. It's or what ever

41:05

they used, it was not a

41:07

good summer to

41:08

travel. But we knew that going

41:11

into the final and when the

41:13

Avalon one, they knew that. So we

41:15

really worked our

41:18

schedule. Like, we drove a lot of

41:20

places. Oh, yeah. We we were

41:22

in Europe five countries over fifteen days, but I drove

41:24

from Czech to Germany, flew to

41:26

Sweden, flew all across or drove all

41:28

across Sweden, we took

41:30

a train We we really thought it

41:32

out because the last thing

41:34

you want on a player's day is to

41:36

show up late because of an airline

41:38

or even

41:40

worse we miss a connection and it

41:42

it affects

41:43

his day. So we really work

41:45

together as a team to make it work.

41:47

We we count on the

41:50

airlines a lot this year, we did not. They get twenty four hours. Right? They

41:52

get a day. Like, sunrise to sunset or Wow.

41:54

It depends when we get there. Like, because we're

41:56

traveling. Okay. So it's not like set

41:59

rule. No. now Has anyone

42:02

ever been annoyed? Has anyone ever been annoyed? Like, I didn't get enough time. I

42:04

didn't get enough time. I didn't get enough time. You're taking it at seven

42:06

PM. You're five minutes late. Wait. You know what's amazing? And I I

42:09

think he could probably see it when

42:11

you talk to guys. The

42:14

veteran I think they appreciate it more -- Yeah. -- because

42:16

they've worked their whole career. The rookies or

42:18

their second or third of you guys

42:20

think, wow, this is

42:22

awesome. did it happen again

42:24

next week? Right. And it might not ever happen. I

42:26

I remember speaking with Jeremy Roanek once. Mhmm.

42:28

When he was with the Black Ops, they made it

42:30

to the final, their first year. He never He never won

42:32

one. But he never got back again. Oh, yeah.

42:34

Yeah. He never got back again. And he thought,

42:37

wow, it's easier. I got to the final.

42:39

My first year never made back again. Yeah.

42:41

Like Dan Marino. Exactly. Yeah, Dan. What are you doing? Super Bowl.

42:43

What's your price if I wanted to have it for

42:45

a day? If I was hey,

42:47

little something on the table, little blank check, little -- I got you.

42:49

-- all you gotta do is win it. And I'll come. Nah.

42:51

But just like if I didn't win if I didn't win it though, if I was

42:53

like, hey, a little see this little backdoor, little under

42:55

the table. No. nothing?

42:58

No? I'm the weird one. I know. I asked them back.

43:00

The dad being like, I want the Stanley

43:02

Cup of my son's Bar Mitzvah. Name

43:04

your price. don't get, like, those weird requests. We've had a lot of those

43:06

requests. And and I usually the answer

43:08

is you show me your name on the cup. We got no

43:10

problem. I

43:12

love it. I love it. What if a champion wants me to have it for the day? What

43:14

if this guy's a seven time champion? He's like, you know, I've

43:16

had it too much. Give it to Chris Cody

43:18

for a day. Will you do

43:20

that? I guess

43:22

not. Are you ready to roll out? Is this your most interesting

43:24

interview you've ever done? Yeah. First of

43:26

all, I'm trying to think what champion's gonna

43:28

come up to Chris Oh my god.

43:30

Wait till the Panthers win.

43:32

I have a a low goodbye relationship

43:35

with a couple players on that team. How long

43:37

how long you've been doing this film?

43:39

I I started in eighty eight. Eighty eight. Wow.

43:41

So maybe nine flames. Where the Yeah.

43:43

Yeah. Calgary beat Montreal.

43:46

Man, my first player that I ever took the cup to was Colin

43:48

Patterson, and we went north of

43:50

Toronto with it. And it was it was it

43:52

was pretty

43:54

cool and III haven't been to a day yet, that hasn't been

43:56

cool. Yeah. Some as as Chris said

43:58

earlier, might be a bit boring for some people,

44:00

but for them, that

44:02

was their highlight and to be

44:04

part of it, it's pretty special. So what

44:06

season would you say was this most special?

44:08

Would it be the ninety four Rangers?

44:10

Would it be You have to pick one. Given it's a reborn. Oh, I

44:12

Dallas Stars ninety nine was the

44:15

most unique. Yes. Okay. I I don't I'm

44:17

so angry about that. No goal. know

44:20

novice. Why why was that unique? Because

44:22

the roll back then was you can't

44:24

handle the puck. Why are you in the golden

44:26

disc crease? and -- Right. --

44:28

scan the crease. Can I have a scan the crease? And by

44:30

hall scored with a scan the crease. And they

44:32

did softball. Which, you know what,

44:34

that supplementing goal? Yeah. Over time. And

44:36

that was was a rule then. It was allowed. So it's a goal. So yeah. I

44:38

mean, however we look at it, but I I think it

44:40

was most unique because we're

44:42

in Texas.

44:44

The stars

44:44

were relatively new to the NHL. Yeah. Hockey

44:46

fans were new to the Dallas

44:48

area. Yeah. So we went to

44:52

Biker Bar we went to some neat places,

44:54

but you really understand the

44:56

passion they have and they

44:58

they wanna learn the game. They

45:00

wanna know the history. They wanna know

45:02

why there's seventy

45:03

five

45:04

Super Bowls out there and only one Stanley

45:06

Cup. Right. Or whatever it Yeah. They they

45:08

they wanna educate themselves.

45:10

And that's why that's why I use the word

45:12

unique. And what when you have the

45:14

cup, what are the rules? Like, let's say

45:16

I'm at a hotel and it's my day with a

45:18

cup and me and my wife just wanna be alone

45:20

with the cup in the room. Do you stay in the room

45:22

with us or, like, will you go down and wait

45:24

in the lobby? Like like are do you always have to be inside of the

45:27

cup or the people that have the cup for that day can, like,

45:29

kinda take it as long as you know kinda what

45:31

they're doing? Anyway So

45:33

so we're always around. Okay. Chris, I'm not implying anything

45:35

nefarious. Alexovirus can slip with the cup.

45:37

Literally. Yeah. And were you in the room there? We kept

45:40

Were you in the

45:42

room where Well, you could take a photo of someone sleeping, but, like, I don't like you.

45:44

Then you're like, alright. We'll be back at six AM, like, you

45:46

know, kinda thing. Now, you know what? So

45:48

we work with

45:50

the guys ahead of time. Yeah. And so we know

45:52

their rough idea of what their schedules can

45:54

be. Okay. So we we work on it

45:56

that way. Nice.

45:58

No. Like, question is kind of

45:59

similar to Roy's, and it's kind of a nerdy question.

46:02

But did you've been on the ice? Like you

46:04

said, like, you you've handed the putt this trophy to

46:06

so many different guys. what's the

46:08

craziest or maybe most emotional

46:10

atmosphere? Like, I know ninety four is one that kinda maybe

46:12

stands out in my head, but just being on

46:14

that ice I mean, each year, it's a new chapter in the life of the Stanley

46:16

Cup. So it's they're very emotional, but

46:18

obviously, ninety four when Messi was jumping

46:20

up and down right

46:22

in the Vancouver's end, it was very emotional.

46:24

When Josaka passed it to

46:26

Raybork, very emotional when Alex

46:28

O'Vetskin won. he

46:30

he kind of changed I think that that

46:32

he changed the way people look at

46:34

hockey players because hockey players

46:38

are very I wanna say quiet

46:40

and reserved and button up the Exactly.

46:42

But they're they're human and

46:44

they have emotions and Alex let it

46:46

all out in one go.

46:48

And it it kinda changed the way I

46:50

think fans looked at

46:51

at at hockey players. I'm glad

46:53

you brought up that

46:55

year though, because I did wanna ask you,

46:58

there's a lot of videos about how, you know,

47:00

how much fun the capitals had.

47:02

Was that maybe the most cut loose group that, you

47:04

know, maybe in recent memory, at least, it just

47:06

looked like they were

47:08

constantly shitfaced. for

47:10

lack of a better turn. Well, I mean, first of all, social

47:12

media has really changed the way -- Mhmm.

47:14

-- we travel. Yeah. It's a good point. So

47:17

in two thousand nine, ten. That's kinda

47:19

when social media started coming and then TikToks are in

47:21

a it's all gone from there.

47:23

But when Washington won, the city

47:25

hadn't had a chance a

47:27

champion. And since the redskins, I think, in the eighties

47:30

or something like Like, anyway, so the

47:32

city was looking for something. They were

47:34

looking for something

47:36

to bond. and the

47:36

players on that capital's team, they they

47:38

got it right away. They understood. We gotta

47:41

share it with Georgetown. We

47:43

gotta go to Virginia. we gotta go

47:45

to DC. We gotta go to the Delaware. Yeah. Everywhere. And they went

47:47

everywhere. We went to Baltimore. They probably had

47:49

thought about it because

47:52

they you know, how many times did they not get there? How many times did

47:54

they fail on their journey? I would think you

47:56

have to ask a player whether they thought

47:58

of because I don't know

48:00

if they

48:00

I know

48:01

they think about winning when they're younger,

48:03

but when they're getting down to game 56I

48:06

I'm not sure. I don't know if anybody ever admit it. Exactly. That's kind of thing

48:08

you just keep to yourself. Yeah. But that that was a

48:10

fun. That first seven days in Washington

48:12

was fun. What is the most bizarre

48:16

food eaten out of the cup. because, like, I used to say ice cream sundaes are Like,

48:18

what's a random one? Cheerals. Porsche,

48:20

like, we talk Anyone ever

48:22

do any, like Forget and

48:25

meat sauce. Oh, yeah. The Italian Yeah. For sure.

48:27

chowder. And I have chocolate. The red or the

48:29

white of white?

48:32

It never remember that. It's a nice interior line.

48:34

Just look at me. How have I done? I

48:36

don't know. I'm I'm

48:38

still stuck on

48:40

what player is gonna give you the Well, I

48:42

still have hope on that. I I still have hope

48:44

that that could happen. If Matthew Kitchock

48:46

wins the cup a few times That's what I'm saying.

48:48

That's his boy. Yes. out. Okay. Mhmm.

48:50

Let's sit here and introduce him to play. Shucky.

48:52

That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, Phil Prichard. Yeah.

48:54

Thank you for joining us. Hey, guys. Thanks. And

48:56

enjoy your time in Toronto. I mean, it's

48:58

buffer week and, obviously, it's induction time. We'll see you then in

49:00

Florida, guys, as a biggie. And then we'll be back

49:02

in Florida. And now I'll start. Oh,

49:04

no. No.

49:06

we'll see you at around cup time on June -- What? -- mid

49:08

to late June. You'll be carrying the cup out to

49:10

center ice at FLA library. You don't have to take a

49:12

shot at the Panthers. Go ahead. No. I was on

49:15

say first, we're gonna see you in January, and

49:17

then maybe we'll see you in June. Please don't

49:19

get angry when I lift the cup.

49:21

By accident. When this happened, in

49:24

June. But this happens in June, we get it,

49:26

Patrick, in Fort. I'd like to hear that. Thank you. Thanks,

49:28

man. Alright, guys. Hey. Thanks for having

49:30

me. Alright. That was Bill

49:32

That was a lot fun talking to him

49:34

about the keeping out of the cup. I don't

49:36

know if he liked me or not. My

49:37

question's got a little ridiculous.

49:40

Well, that's what usually happens. And I just feel like,

49:42

you know, everyone some, like, you know, the I I tried to, like, throw him some curveballs, and

49:44

I feel like, you know, he sat back and drilled

49:46

my curveballs right back in my face. Yes.

49:50

Yes. Yes. Not enough rotation on that curve ball, but he's so yeah. Roy,

49:52

what did we think of Tim Hortons in

49:54

Toronto? It was just me. Right?

49:56

It's not bad. I mean, it's

49:59

Canada's Dunkin'. Yeah. I guess you're right. I guess

50:01

if if that's the bar. Right? I mean, Dunkin' is

50:03

not really known for food. The donut I had it,

50:05

Tim Hortons, not great. hot chocolate was

50:07

good, but hot chocolate's hot chocolate. So it

50:10

wasn't blown away. The doughnut I

50:12

had was

50:12

the pumpkin spice donut. I

50:14

actually had pumpkin seeds on it had some --

50:16

Yeah. -- good spices. I think there was some nutbag in there. You know, that

50:19

that that was pretty good. The dumbest thing

50:21

we did all trip besides when I asked

50:23

Phil Pritchard

50:23

if someone ever shot in

50:26

the cup, That was just a dumb question. Right. Roy and I went it to

50:28

the top of the c n tower,

50:30

which is kinda like if you've seen this in in

50:32

Seattle, they like, the needle, it it looks

50:34

just like that. It's called the Tower,

50:36

gorgeous view. We went to the top of it

50:38

early in the morning, no one was up there,

50:40

and we regretted it very

50:42

quickly because Roy and I realized about

50:44

halfway up the hundred and fourteen stories. Neither of us

50:46

big fan of heights. Yeah. Get on that elevator

50:49

and look out the window at

50:51

the Toronto skyline while the

50:54

bottom, while the ground

50:56

was slowly getting further

50:58

further away. Yeah. Not a good decision on

51:00

all points. And, like, idiates, we paid an extra ten

51:02

bucks to go even higher up. Like, you're at the like,

51:04

you got to go to, like, up. And then it's like, hey, you wanna

51:06

go even higher for ten bucks more? Sure.

51:10

And that was, like, that my footing did not feel safe up there. I don't

51:12

care how, you know, the you know, the guy was,

51:14

like, hey, you know, this thing's been open

51:16

for decades, you know.

51:18

Okay. That was basically our needle,

51:20

and that was shaken. I felt like

51:22

if Roy and I jumped in unison, the whole thing

51:24

would have collapsed But we made it sound

51:27

safe. Toronto was fun. Good content coming

51:29

later this week. That was a fun

51:31

interview with Phil. But Good

51:33

stuff, man. Roy, look at us. Just a couple of guys,

51:35

a couple of world travelers. Mhmm. Can't wait to

51:37

get back on the next

51:40

flight. Bundling car and renters insurance

51:42

with guy is so easy. Your neighbors are probably already

51:44

doing it. So why not ask? Just

51:46

say, hey, did you get your hair cut? It

51:48

looks cool. Also,

51:50

have you even more about bundling with GEICO or maybe. Hey,

51:52

51:54

weird. Not weird.

51:56

Cool. Any way? Have you

51:58

bundled with GEICO? Or try. Hey.

51:59

Did you get your haircut? It doesn't look

52:02

weird at all. Any who have you

52:04

52:06

52:08
