Mostly Sports. uh-huh welcome to mostly sports i'm mark titus he's brandon walker it is monday february 23rd we are live from the greatest hockey country on planet earth brandon oh i I didn't turn the microphone on. Can I have my mic? Can I have my mic? Can I have my mic? There's nothing plugged in to my mic. This is a disaster. Well, you have the other mic there. This is an absolute disaster. What are you doing? This is an absolute disaster, TJ. What? I didn't do it. What? Hey, Mark. All right. I'm the one that did it. Yeah. Hey, Mark. What are you mad at me for? What are those three letters on your chest? Oh, my God. Oh, it says USA, Brandon. It does. It says. What's yours say? U.S. of A, baby. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. Oh, you're the guy that just won Chantoo. it feels good to be a winner mark oh my god it feels good to be a winner i feel like my mic's too oh it feels good to be a winner what uh was that the most patriotic feeling since when is this why what is this why those old motherfuckers wouldn't shut up about 1980 i think so i i get it now i get that was awesome that was awesome and to watch us just get our ashes kicked for two periods. But you know what, Mark? You know what? It doesn't count if you don't score. Right. It doesn't count if you don't score. I'm ashamed to admit it. I stopped believing. I did. I was like surely they're going to score. Don't stop believing. Surely they're going to score. We're going to lose and this is going to all be for naught. And I'll be goddamn Jack Hughes. It had to be Jack Hughes. It was going to be Jack Hughes. You saw that clip where the coaches said that Hughes is going to score here? No, I didn't see that. Yeah. I will say this. I probably have spent more time watching clips over the last 24 hours I have in my life. Feed it all to me. Give me every clip. I want every angle from every shot in the stadium. I want everything. The U.S. hockey team is the number one patriotic team and I didn't realize it until we beat Canada and here's why, Brandon. We are good enough to win the gold as we demonstrated yesterday, but we are not the overwhelming favorite like we are in say men's basketball or at this point women's soccer. I think when the women's soccer you can correct me if I'm wrong, you're way older than me, so you remember it better than I do. Well, that's not really. In 99, when the women won. Sure, Brandi Chastain. Maybe there was the feeling then that was like we're on the come up. But now at this point we're expected to win the women's soccer. I'm trying to think of another example where we do win all the time, but it's not expected. And the U.S. hockey team has NHLers across the board. We are good. This isn't like the men's soccer team, say, where it's like we're going to get fucking stomped. But at the same time, we're not going into it like the men's basketball team where we're like, if we don't win gold, burn the whole game. Disaster. Yeah. Everybody's getting fired. So I think it's like the perfect balance. And for that reason, when we beat Canada in hockey, I was going to save this for later in the submission for later in the show. I cried more yesterday than any day since my daughter's been born. I was sobbing throughout the entire day. Mark, we're like the preseason number three team in college football. But number one is loaded. We're good. We're damn good. We're really good. And we're going to beat everybody in our conference. But shit, when we get to the championship game, it's going to be tough to beat Ohio State or whoever it is. And it turns out the greatest team ever assembled, Canada, didn't get the job done. Didn't get the job done. They can't put the puck in the net. He's got to be able to score. Why didn't they score? Oh, and they are, Canada are the nicest people on earth. You ask people, say something about Canada. It's like maple syrup, moose, and nice people. And hockey. And hockey, obviously. Well, not anymore, but in hockey. These are the things that can't, but nice people's on the list, right? They are the biggest bitches on earth. On earth? Oh, my God. Oh, man. That's great. The sportsmanship out of these fucking losers. They lose a hockey game, and they're like, the better team didn't win. I can't believe you're celebrating this. Even though we wouldn't even be in the championship if not for three-on-three overtime, I suddenly hate three-on-three overtime. Mark, I wrote down my ten favorite things from yesterday's game. I would love to hear all ten of these, Brandon. And you know what? After you're done with them, run them back and say them again. Okay, all right. Number one, the celebration. The second that shot hits the back of the net. Everything for the next 45 minutes. and really the next 24 hours. And I don't care. There's people on Twitter losing their minds about the presidential phone call and this guy celebrating with them and this guy celebrating. How about everybody that's American gets to celebrate with these people because it was fucking awesome. I don't care if you're left, right, center, whatever. How about when that shot goes in and you give me every angle of them throwing their shit in the air, you give me every angle of bars across the country, you give me every angle of everybody celebrating. And it's just – it's very rare that we all get to celebrate one thing because in our sports, you're either a Lakers fan or you're a Celtics fan. You're either an Ohio State fan or you're a Georgia fan. You're either this or that. Very rare we get to all be on the same team. And me, I root for nothing but losers in my life. Yeah, that's true. Nothing but losers. Yeah, that's true. Mississippi State top five in the cold today. We got to talk about Mississippi State baseball. We'll do that later. There's some things you're going to like. I got some freshmen we need to talk about. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I lose a lot. I lose a lot. So for me to be able to jump on the bandwagon and win and be part of grabbing a sport that I didn't even know about four years ago, congratulations to me and you. Congratulations, Brandon. And congratulations to you, Mark. The celebrations were awesome. Again, I was crying, and I couldn't understand why. I mean, the Goudreau, which I'm sure that's going to be on your list, but that played a big part. But, yeah, I was watching the third period. I had one eye on the game, and one eye was prepared to just bury my face in my hands and be like, it happened again, and we lost to Canada. Because they were dominating us, Brandon. And then when they scored, I believe how excited I was. Is it sweeter that they kind of dominated us like that? Oh, way sweeter. Make it a little bit sweeter? Way sweeter. Because they did dominate the second and third period. It dominated us. I'm embarrassed to admit that I just completely gave up, and I was like, just get it over with. We're the fucking goal, Canada. We're going to lose. I know where this is going. And then when we scored, it was just like an outpouring of emotion. I couldn't believe how invested I was. What were the top it's over moments? The first power play that they got was like, oh, it's over. And then when it was 5-3, you're like, oh, now it's really fucking over. It's really, really over. I think in overtime, I was like, I mean, I had those feelings in second, third period. Yeah, but in overtime, like, they have the best three guys in the world. Yeah. And, like, they're just going to come downhill on us. Them bitching about overtime format, shut the fuck up. They got the best players. This is the format for your team. We should be pitching. I know jack shit about hockey, but one thing that stands out to me watching Canada play, those dudes are fast as fuck. And when they have space to move, they're just – They had McDavid, McKinnon, and Celebrini on the field. On the field. They were on the field. They were on the court. They were on the ice court. If you ask both teams, like, what's the ideal overtime format to ensure that your team wins, Canada would be like, we want to play one-on-one probably. Yes. And USA would have been like, can we play like 30 on 30? Can we play the whole team? What are you talking about? Three on three was tailor-made for Canada. And they won an overtime game with a tournament mark. Yeah. And not one of them said, that doesn't really count. That doesn't really count because we won an overtime. Losers. Number two, the Johnny Goudreau thing. Yeah. From them bringing the jersey out on the ice and parading it around, they show the family in the stands. And then I didn't actually see it yesterday, but I've seen it now. Them going and getting the kids. Yeah. The two guys going to get the kids. It was a son's birthday. Oh, my God. Johnny Junior's birthday. I just ran it on unbelievable, unbelievable moment. And just brings it right back. The shot of his dad, which you could tell he's got like half. This is cool. Half like. God damn it. This is not cool at all. This is, you know, this really, really fucking. So, yeah, it was an incredibly emotional moment. Yeah, I was just sobbing. I couldn't even control it because it was, one, that they're honoring him, but two, how cool it is to see that this was obviously massive for all the guys on Team USA, and it's been 46 years since we won the gold medal. And all of these guys have their own personal journeys to this moment to win a gold and do what was thought of as unthinkable in the United States. And as they finally get to the mountaintop, it was almost instantaneous that they're thinking about him. It wasn't like, let's all celebrate, Let's all get our medals. Let's all. And then, oh, yeah. We got to pay tribute to Johnny. It was like the most. As soon as they got to the mountaintop, they were like, let's not forget our boy Johnny. Go get his kids. Oh, my God. I don't even think they were paying tribute to him, Mark. I think they were just. He was part of the team. Yeah, that's what I mean. I think they considered him part of the team. It's just like. And that picture is forever. That is an unbelievable fucking picture. But to have the. What I'm saying is like. Yeah. For Zach. Wawrinski. Zach Wawrinski. him personally, if he was selfish is the wrong word, but if in this moment Zach Wierenski, maybe it slips his mind to think about Johnny Gaudreau because he spent his entire life trying to win a gold medal and get to this point. You wouldn't fault him for that, but he didn't. Even in that moment, the second they win, he's just like, I got to go get Johnny's kids. We got to make sure he's involved in this. It was so cool. Are those the cutest kids of all time? Cutest fucking kids. Those are the cutest kids of all time? Speaking of cute kids, your daughter's now 1-0 all time? 1-0. She doesn't know a world we're can't. I'm going to explain to my daughter that Canada cares about hockey, and she's going to be like, really? Well, that sure doesn't show. What? What did she think about the game? She actually started crying as well, and it was because when we scored, I screamed. Yeah, I've been there. It scared her. 2011 Super Regional, I scared Tommy to death. Those are comparable. I scared him to death. I scared Tommy to death. Super Regional. He was sitting at my feet, and then we hit a home run, and I just jumped up, and it scarred him. Yeah, we're still teaching her that we're a sports family. Yeah. That'll happen from time to time as we'll jump off the couch. Number three, Team USA getting drunk. I don't know if you've seen these clips, but they're at the bars. There's gifs of them saying, hey, hey, hey, by the way, he's got a full beer in his hand. One more, one more. Then there's the interview with Tirico later where they're just absolutely sloshed. You know these boys had an all-timer. Yeah. Had an all-timer from Jump Street. Number four, and this might be my favorite. sad Canadians. Oh, yeah. Like you said, they're great people. Phenomenal people. Give you the shirt off their back. Wonderful people up in Canada. Great neighbors. Great neighbors. Good to have them. They'll check our mailbox when we're gone. They'll make sure the lights are on, whatever. They're great neighbors. But seeing them so sad is fucking amazing. They're such bitches, too, right now. That's what's crazy to me. The tweets they got, I can't believe Americans are celebrating this. Shut the fuck. We won the gold medal. You celebrate gold medals. Is that not how it works? Sad Canadians have been, whether it's celebrities or whether. Oh, and somebody going and finding the retweet or finding the tweet of Trudeau. Is it Trudeau, right? What's their? Yeah. You mean Michael Greer? I think you're thinking of number one American Michael Greer going back and finding Trudeau's tweet. Yeah, but then a bunch of people found it after that, right? It's the one tweet of, like, you can't take our country. You'll never take our hockey. Yeah. By the way, can we have a discussion about Michael Greer? What is he? He's Canadian. He grew up in Canada, but he's the number one American in the world. I think he's our number. It's him and Connor Hellebuck are the two number top two Americans. I guess Jack used it now. Nate McKinnon saying, I'll let you be the judge of who the better team was. Okay, it was us. It was us. I'll judge it. Also, him saying that while completely whiffing and missing an empty net. What a pick. That's an all-time picture. All-time picture. Sacanadiens are four, number five. I don't know what we're going to do with it. I don't know where we're going to put it. I have no idea if we have story, if we have room for it, but we own hockey now. It's ours. We own hockey. U.S. owns hockey. We already had what we got. We got baseball with Shohei Otani and Yamamoto and all these players. We got baseball, won Soto. Basketball, we just won the NBA. Basketball, the Thunder won the NBA championship. We just won the gold medal in basketball. Won the gold medal. Stars won or the Stripes won? We won All-Star Weekend. And All-Star Weekend, yeah, that's right. Football, football, we win every time. And now we got hockey, and I don't know where we're going to put it. Watch us fuck around and win the World Cup. Just watch us. Just watch us. Don't let us. Don't let us get hot. Hold on. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? Oh, my God. That might start a world war. How many times, how many multipliers of this would that feel? Oh, my God. Like 50? If we won the World Cup? I mean, why don't we just win the World Cup? Let's just go win the World Cup. Why don't we just win the fucking World Cup? Just go win the fucking World Cup. What is stopping us from doing the Embiid thing in soccer? I mean, we are the richest country in the world. Why don't we just win the fucking World Cup? Why don't we just pay Messi to play for the United States? Yeah, why not? Why not put these hockey guys on the World Cup team? It's not like FIFA is not the most corrupt organization. We can do anything we want. Hellebuck and Net. But Hellebuck and Net. Hellebuck and Net. Put the Kachuk brothers on the back line. Dude, who's got basses Kachuks? Put the Hughes brothers as the attackers? Yeah. See, Hellebuck had a bass on his helmet? That's so badass. So the professional, our Bass Pro Shops tweeted out. Is he just known as a bass fisherman? Because Bass Pro Shops tweeted about him after the game. Like, shout out to Connor Hellebuck for winning. I need to invite him bass fishing. You're right, though. We own hockey. Can I just say something to our audience? Because we have Canadian people that watch it. Great Canadian people. And you've gotten into hockey recently. I try to get into it. My problem isn't with hockey. It's just that it overlaps with my busiest college basketball going on. But every time I've dabbled in hockey, I fucking love it. Hockey's amazing. I've always been a friend of hockey. And we're doing our best to lean into hockey. And we do the hockey grid every day. And far too often, Brandon, we get people that are just like, you guys don't know shit about hockey. Far too often. Please never talk puck again. You don't know what the fuck you're talking. Suck my fucking dick. Yep. You're looking at Mr. and Mr. Hockey. Yep. You're looking at two gold medal winning co-hosts. Suck our dicks. We own hockey. We own hockey. Oh, by the way, hey, did we have a gold medal winning guy on that couch? We sure did, Brandon. Did we have a gold medal winning guy on that couch? is the family responsible for this. Did I or did I not wake up in the United States of America this morning? Am I or am I not breathing American air into my lungs as I speak? Right now. I had a hot dog for dinner last night, apple pie for dessert. And for that reason alone, I can talk all the hockey I want now. Yep. I own hockey. Hockey. You own hockey. Hockey. We all own hockey. Hockey. It's ours. In fact, we're, yeah. We're a hockey show now. We're a hockey show. We're a hockey show now. Even if we don't want to be, we are. At least until 1130 Central. Stamp it. Look at that picture, Mark. That's like the best sports photo ever. I'm getting into that, too. Oh, actually, that's next. That's next. Six. How about brothers? Brotherhood. How about the Kachuk brothers? Kind of being the story of the Four Nations last year where they kind of grabbed the bull by the horns. They were fighting everybody. They were scoring. And now, the Hughes brothers. The Hughes brothers go out, and one of them scores a game-winning goal. In one game, the other one scores a gold medal-winning goal. You got this guy draped with a flag over his shoulder and his teeth, and he's bleeding. He's bleeding for America. This guy's bleeding for America, Mark. One of the greatest pictures ever taken. Yeah. It's amazing. Didn't we – If I told you that picture was taken after the 1980 gold medal game, you would believe it. Well, this brings up a point I was going to say. Weren't we talking one time on the show about iconic sports pictures just don't exist anymore? Yeah. Wasn't that a topic we had? I think we did, yeah. I think we said they've kind of – there's one. I think we got one. I think we got what we've been waiting on. I think there were two or three from yesterday. Yeah. Nate McKinnon having a wide-open net. Yeah. We didn't talk about that. Yeah. That's an iconic picture. Yeah. I might get that for you. It really is. Yeah, that's an iconic picture. Because in Canada – let me explain this to you because we're a hockey country and you're not, so I'll explain why this is a bad miss. Yeah. If he simply hits that puck – and it's not a big puck. As you can see, that little black dot right there, It's a tiny little thing. He's also skating on ice. Yeah. Yeah. If he just simply hits that, you see that massive gap where the goalie isn't? Right. If he can just simply, it doesn't matter where. Like, he doesn't have to hit it. In between those red pipes, right? Just in between the red pipes. It doesn't matter where, Brandon. As long as it goes in between the red, he has all that area to work with. If he just simply hits it right there, Canada is, in fact, a gold medalist. But in this instance, he did not do that. Why didn't he do that? Because he sucks. Because he doesn't play for the United States, Brandon. That's right. He plays for the losers up north. You know what they say about us. We'll put a boot in your ass. Yeah, we will. It's the American way. It's the American way. Number seven. Mike Tirico. Yeah. He's fucking amazing. That motherfucker. I watched the gold medal winning match, right? And it was great. And it was hockey. And it was two and a half to three hours of edge of your seat, hold on for dear life, and then the explosion at the end. The next hour of TV might be my favorite hour of TV we've ever had, where it was just constant celebration. The fact that Canada had to stand on the ice for 40 minutes, 40 minutes they had to stand there, first receive their silver medals and have to smile, then get their little teddy bears. Then they had to wait and watch us get our gold medals and get our teddy bears. And then they had to wait while they played our song That's right. And the flag raises to the rafters. That's right. And then after all of that, it goes back to the booth and Mike Tirico to sum it all up. And he's like, listen, kids, this is what dreams are. You see this, go chase it because you can become this. And nothing brings us together more like sports. We love sports in this country, and it brings us all together. And it was the perfect encapsulation in one minute of what we watched yesterday. Mike Tirico's the fucking best. That was awesome. And also, the players themselves kept saying that, And I thought that was pretty cool. Like, it wasn't just that we won the gold medal. I think it was, like, everything surrounding it. Like, we already talked about, like, having the wherewithal just to immediately be like, Johnny Gaudreau, we have to make sure he's a part of this. But then I think it was... It's 2026. Getting your protein fix should be easy with Tropical Smoothie Cafe's new protein blends.

It's tropic time. Matthew Kachuk, I think I saw doing an interview where he was just like, kept just hammering home over and over about like all the kids that are watching like youth hockey in America. Let's make this a big thing that this is a brotherhood. Because you mentioned the brothers. There are like actual brothers on the team. Yeah. But then there's the feeling that, like, United States hockey, not just this specific team, but at the junior level, at the level of, like, dudes that are playing, you know, for their high school and have no ambition to ever play past that level. Like, anybody that's ever put on skates and grabbed a stick, it feels like they won it for them, and they genuinely believe that and feel that, and I thought that was pretty cool because, like, so often, again, you get to the mountaintop and you just think of yourself or you think about your team, and it really did feel like they won this for the entire country. Well, that and the 25 guys on that team seem like they really fucking love being together. Yeah. Really fucking love each other. They love representing the country. And there was this crazy thing on Twitter yesterday when Jack Hughes scored it. People going and finding Jack Hughes' political opinion and saying, well, MAGA's not going to like this, or then somebody else does that. And this could... Shut the fuck up. We're all Americans. And it takes 25 different guys with 25 different viewpoints, and nobody cares about the viewpoints because they're on the ice playing hockey. That's the beauty of them doing this. That's the beauty of it. The only thing to do with them doing this is that I can almost guarantee that two guys on that team disagree with each other. Sure. That's fine. I almost guarantee it. And if one gets in a fight, the other's coming right across the top with a fist because that's what they do for each other. It doesn't fucking matter that we disagree sometimes. We're all wearing the fucking flag. So I didn't realize it until they won that USA Hockey is the most patriotic team we have. It is. I didn't realize it until. Well, I mean, we grew up, right? you and I grew up here in the shadow of the Miracle on Ice. I was one, but I wasn't around for it. I didn't see it. You didn't see it. You weren't born yet. But it became mythological almost in the way it was. And they got so close in 2010 when Canada beat them. Yeah, in a four-on-four overtime that Canada didn't have a problem. That one counts Yeah that one counted And now they were And last year you could tell how hungry America was to win it when in an exhibition last year we all kind of rallied behind it Yeah We were all like four nations and we beat them once in the qualifying round and then we lost to them in the championship game. But we all were close, and yesterday was the dam just broke. Finally did it. What Tariqo was mainly pointing out, too, is the fact that this started back in 2010. and the guys who were on this team, they came together for one common mission. And as they started back then, they were young guys who just wanted to eventually put USA back on top of the mountaintop, and it was beautiful. Sports are at their best when the athletes you're watching, you can tell they're playing for something bigger than themselves. And every single guy on the ice was like you genuinely felt that. And it wasn't just like one thing. It was like almost none of them were playing for themselves. They were all playing for their brothers and for the country and all that. It was fucking awesome. And one thing I want to ask. So Kachuk brothers, they play with an edge. They're assholes, right? They're lovable assholes. They're jocks. And, you know, earlier in the tournament, he's like, always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Hey, Leon, talking to Leon Dreisaitl. They're just kind of jerks. And if they're on your team, you love them. If they're not on your team, you hate them. But this edge, and I think the coach yesterday said, you know what, there's milk drinkers in the world and there's whiskey drinkers in the world. This team's got a lot of whiskey drinkers. Like, Canada came to this tournament. Canada, to me, looks like a professional all-star team. They're all buttoned up, and they're businesslike, and they're very, very good. Our guys just look like they would die for each other. Yeah. Am I misreading it? No, that's how I saw it, too. Again, I don't follow the NHL particularly closely, but names make their way to me, Brandon. Sure. Names I know of hockey. And they're all Hall of Famers to you. Yes, and every single one of them belongs in the Hall of Fame. And when I started watching the Olympics this year, it dawned on me that basically every name I know in hockey was on Canada. Like every single guy that I know, oh, my God, he doesn't even start for them. He's coming off, you know. Yeah, they were absolutely loaded as a roster, but as you're watching the game unfold, you're like, they probably are technically better than us, but we got guys that care more, it seems. You know, the weird thing about Canada is they probably are the best team in the world, but, like, in the quarterfinals they won in overtime. they had to come from behind. Right. In the semifinals, they had to come from behind. Yep. Yesterday, they had to come from behind. Like, they didn't dominate this tournament at all. You could argue this was the best game they played. Yeah. That they lost. They weren't, like, just killing everybody. They didn't go 8-0, 6-0, and then all of a sudden we snuck up and got them. Yeah. They were playing with fire the entire time. That's right. Number eight. Can we just spend three to five minutes talking about Connor Hellebuck and how wonderful? And can somebody check? Is that his first name? It is. Is he officially invited? Again, hockey's our sport. We're a hockey show. Is he officially invited to Conor Conor Conor? Can I get an ISO shot? Yeah. Yeah. Conor Hellebuck, you are officially invited to Conor Conor Conor. We're working out the date, but you are an American hero. You are invited. Wow. That's big. I would argue possibly keynote speaker. I mean, this is. He'd probably have to. Conor of the year? Who are we up to? Oh, my. That'll be a thing. At Conor Conor Conor, we will deem the Conor of the year. Or the Con of the year. He's got to be the front runner for Conor of the Year. As of right now, he's front runner. As Conor of the Year, in Brandon's opinion, it's probably like Minty or something. Shit. As much as naming a Conor of the Year would be just a direct rip-off of another podcast that does a name of the year, the last people that did that got like $30 million. Yeah, you're right. So why don't we do that? We're doing a Conor of the Year. That is our project. We've got to do a Conor. We've got to just openly rip them off more. Yeah, we could. Let's see. How should we decide it? We've got to rip them off more. You see the NBA ripping off Bustin' with the boys? I called them out on it over All-Star Week, and they had a guy do a dap-up challenge. Oh, yeah. Just go around and see how many guys. Jesser, he's a very big YouTuber. That'll do it. We've got to rip off PMT more, man. Yeah, we'll write each Conner a letter, and then whoever sends a response letter back. Who are our top Conners right now? Because Hellebuck had to go to the top. Hellebuck's at the top. So we have a weekly Conner rankings? Because I think Hellebuck's way at the top. The good Connor Griffins, too. Connor, it's actually not the worst idea to do monthly Connor Power Rankings. Connor, Connor Power Rankings. Yeah. Con-Pom? Yeah, I'll work on Con-Pom. Con-Pom. I'll have the first list by tomorrow. You'll have Con-Pom tomorrow? Yeah, what's tomorrow's date? On the 24th of every month, I will reveal Con-Pom. There's a guy. I like that idea. There's a guy whose last name is Connor that's on Team USA, right? Yeah, right. I don't know how he spells it. He spells it like you spell it. What, does he have to spell it the same way? They don't. They don't. But if it's last name, yeah, that counts. Connor McDavid has to be way down. Oh, Connor McDavid's not even on the list right now. I was getting people tagging me like, have we ever seen Griffin and Connor McDavid in the same place at the same time saying I look like him? Never tweet that at me again. He's a loser, and I don't want to be associated. Hey, listen, listen. That's pretty, that's bold talk from you calling him a loser, but he did lose the last two Stanley Cups, and then he just lost. Yeah, but how was he a loser? He won MVP. What did you – He won – how did – that's fucking bullshit. Do you think when they were voting, they – was there like a drop-down of all the names involved and they tried to click on Conor Hellebuck and they clicked on Conor McDavid instead? They closed it at the end of the first period. That's absurd. What's the point? What's the point of having one if you're going to close at the end of the first period? That's so stupid. Kyle Conner. Kyle Conner, yeah, yeah. Oh, he'll be involved in like Kyle Conner. He can't be in Conor Conner. December birthday as well. He actually – he might get a fringe invite, yes. What's happening there? When did we do that? That's sick. What does this one do? Whoa! We just gave him his flowers. Give him his flowers. Give him his flowers, yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, bring up Conor Hellebuck. Conor Hellebuck. Gotta give him flowers. Bring up Conor Hellebuck. By the way. Should we just do the whole roster? Do the whole roster. Conor Hellebuck. Oh, give him the medal. Yep, there's his medal. Throw them flowers at Conor Hellebuck. He's a man, Conor. Yeah. Fuck your man, Connor. You bet. Number one, Connor. Maybe. I don't know. How many flowers can you give him? Oh, that's 60 flowers. That's 70 flowers. That's so many flowers. Oh, my God. That's 80 flowers. He is actually a big-time bass fisherman. I looked it up. 100 flowers. I got to go bass fishing with Connor. He did a video with the bass squash hunter. The bass squash hunter? Bass squash hunter. Jesus Christ. Dude, we got to get him to it. If you're watching this show, go give Connor Hell a buck, some flowers. We got to get him to a million flowers. Get him to a million flowers. Are they tracking this? Where's his hometown? Where's he from? I can't see this. He's from Michigan. I keep giving him flowers, but okay. Oh, man. Wow. That was a hell of a performance, TJ. A lot of flowers. I absolutely love, by the way, that our captain, Austin Matthews, plays for Toronto. Yes. And Connor Hellebuck, the guy who's the MVP of the entire tournament, should have won MVP in the tournament. plays for winnipeg i love that so much jack hugh's got hella flowers oh he's almost at two million jack hugh's tate mccrae connor oh yeah we could talk about that that's the guy dating tate mccrae canadian yeah canadian we took the gold medal we took hockey and we took the number one pops my my one of my biggest thoughts yesterday i'm not gonna lie was i i hope tate mccrae is okay today because well if she's dating the no hero that's good for her you would think but people from Canada were already shitting on her a couple weeks back when she was promoting the Olympics. They're just saying Canadians. And the Americans and whatnot. They're like, she's Canadian. Why is she talking about the Americans winning the Olympics? And then yesterday, her supposed boyfriend, or at least somebody she went on a couple dates with, is the one who puts the final nail in the coffin. I was very worried for her, but I think she's doing okay. Shout out to Tim McRae. Number nine. Yeah, number nine, please. What do we take next? We've got hockey. Hockey's ours. Right. Hockey's ours. I'm feeling probably a – I'm feeling we get the grid today. I'm feeling so hockey right now. How could we not? I'm feeling so fucking hockey. It's the biggest grid of our lives. What's there left to take? From Canada specifically? Do we take maple syrup or do we kind of already – because Vermont and Hampshire, I feel like they could just grab it anyway. We could take women's hockey from – Oh, shit. Got it. Yeah. Duh. We already did that. um what would could we take something like curling or would they have to like cheat to win yeah yeah curling um we could take poutine we should just take poutine I think poutine's biggest problem is the name itself you're joking I've been I've been on the team let's take poutine for a long time poutine's so good Brandon it's so good and I think it's the name I think it's the first syllable is poo yeah and I think that turns people off yeah and the second syllable is teen We need to take poutine. Yeah, it's a problem. Yeah, that's just nasty. It's a 14-year-old pooping. Nobody likes that. Poutine. We take poutine, we rename it, and we make it ours. I think that's what we do. Why don't we rename it? There's a sort of similar thing. Hellebuck's? Jersey diner's called disco fries. And there's gravy fries and all that. Gravy fries and cheese. Yeah. It's not curds, though. To me, disco fries isn't strong enough. and you got to have the curds in there. America fries? Jack Hughes. One of these players, Kachucks? Can we call them Kachucks? Gold metal fries. I'll have an order of Kachucks and they just bring you some poutine? Yeah, how about that? That works. All I'm saying in Canada, we just took hockey, poutine's on the table. Poutine's so good. Yeah, it is good. And it's about to be ours. We got our fucking sights on it. It's about to be ours. let's see what have I got left we can't show any Olympic highlights because the Olympics are terrible but surely we can find some bars around the country and show reactions because there's nothing I think Twitter, Instagram, all social media was made to show you reactions from bars they're one of my favorite subsets of sports you're right you never get sick of them every time one pops up see this reaction from Jack Hughes hometown or see this reaction from you know bumfuck idaho you're gonna watch it you have to watch it every single time and every single time i'm like yeah hell yeah can i can i before we uh before we show these can i uh i don't want to i don't okay all right i don't want to do it but i i have to okay i have to share my thoughts that's the point of this job brandon please that's one of the microphones there the nbc watch party that was disappointing may i say something that when When NBC was like, and we look at all the watch parties across the country and you saw the watch parties, there were better watch parties than NBC. Well, that, and if I had to name the worst thing about your name, I mean, NBC just botched the goal, too. The goal that was scored. The golden goal. Like, he scores it and then the camera goes to the crowd and then it goes to the Canadian bench and then it goes to other places. It just followed the goal scorer. Wasn't there, was it a Stanley Cup goal that that happened? Wasn't there a famous shot in hockey that we showed on here where someone had a fucking drone and just followed the – was that Four Nations last year? Yeah. Where was that? They blew the women's golden goal, too. They did the same thing. You remember what I'm talking about? I can't remember. The goal went in, and they never took the camera off the team celebrating, and it just stayed. That's where it should be at all times. Kenny Albert's call you had a problem with. No, call was fine. No, call was fine, right? Kenny Albert's good. Call was fine. It's the camera just lifting up into the crowd. and then going to, I think the second was a Canadian fan or something. Follow the action. Follow the goal scorer. Follow the celebration. There was one watch party that they threw it to, and it was a guy wearing a Cubs jersey and four of his buddies sitting around a table. And I was like, we can do better than this. Surely there's a packed bar somewhere in this country that you could. Well, there was a reaction shot from Murphy's. Is it Murphy's? What's the name of the bar? Murphy's Bleachers? Yeah, yeah, that's one. In Chicago, there was a reaction from Murphy's Bleachers. It was crazy. Yeah. Miami of Ohio had a bomb. Oh, Miami of Ohio had a great one. Miami of Ohio had an awesome one. This bar looks unbelievable. That looks fucking amazing. That's Brick Street in Oxford. Get yourself a trash can. Jesus Christ. That place looks fucking awesome. That's at 10 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Yeah. What a great time to be alive. What a great country we live in. I love it, man. There was a moment when I woke up at 6.20. I'm like, am I really about to go to the bar right now? Do I really want to do this? No regrets. You went to the bar? Yeah. I respect the fuck out of that, Evo. I didn't go anywhere. I stayed home. I was with Max Delente. I don't know if you saw his post-game celebration. It's music in the background. Unbelievable. He was quite excited for the United States. Did you see his celebration? I didn't see it. and this is why this is why this is great because normally he does this when the eagles win or he does this when the phillies win i'm never going to celebrate with him but now i can celebrate with him because america god damn it right yeah dave's dave's video that he made yeah that i'm so used to seeing when like michigan beats northwestern on a last second field goal and cheats to and then And Dave's like, oh, my God, we're the best team ever. And then I roll my eyes at those videos. Suddenly I was like, this is awesome. Now you're in. Now I'm in on this day. I can't stop thinking about Con Palm, to be honest. I'm already compiling the list. Play Dave's video. I need more of that. I want more of a – More Dave celebrating? I don't know. You bring up a good point. When else are we going to enjoy these things? When else are we going to enjoy Max being a psycho sports fan? That's right. We're not. I told you. You're right. I've never liked one of these videos. Never. Not one time, Brandon. Because this usually means the Patriots win. Right. Michigan wins. Celtics win. But I watched this as I was cackling with him. That hairpiece is fighting for dear life. Oh, my God. That was my list of 10. Oh, Porelli's is great. Start that over. Are those two women Canadian? Oh, no, they're not. Okay, they're happy. They're happy. I did see one Canada jersey at the bar yesterday. Did you? Did you beat the shit out of him? Should have. Too much of a pussy. Stu. Stu. USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! Oh, my God.

This is our. Snap reaction? Yeah. You can identify who snapped in this reaction. Okay, here we go. Jack Hughes. Jack Hughes. No way. That was Blutman's dog pile right there. That was Blutman coming dangerously close to physical contact. Yeah, that's as close as he's going to get. Blutman came unglued right there. That was crazy. Blutman did snap there. He almost went for a while. Yeah. On his hook. I don't have thought about it. That's Blutman as excited as he's going to ever get. He snapped. Look at him. Did you see the other clip? Well, after that, I'll talk about it. Well, I think we're done with that. Okay, it was just Blutman and Yandel talking about how they were feeling about the game and Blubman's like, I feel like I'm on all the drugs. Yandel's like, yeah, I can tell. We had all the Chicklets boys on today on Wake Up Barstool. We were, it was, you know, show starts at 7. 7.03, Yandel comes on. The very first word said by a Chicklets guy was Dave's like, Whitney, you had a silver medal. And then Yandel, you won a silver medal too. And Yandel goes, I never won shit. It was just, all right. Good morning to you. Jack Hughes shouting out Barstool in his post-game press conference. It was unbelievable. That was awesome. That was awesome, too. I thought that was fake, to be honest with you. I picture myself on Barstool being like the guy that America hates because Canada scores on the power play. I was like, oh, my God, here it is. And then he ends up. I will say it was a dumb penalty by him, right? We were all kind of thinking it. Like, this is going to come fuck us. I wasn't mad. I wasn't going to, like, clown him for it. but I was like, yeah, that was kind of a stupid play. And he was bad. He was bad in the Four Nations. Was this a little bit of redemption for him? Am I misremembering? There's how many cases. It's hard. The way people were talking about him was like he was disappointing in the Four Nations. I felt like when we lost, there were like nine people that people were like, that guy was disappointing. Yeah. Like Austin Matthews. Austin Matthews was the big one, which I want to point this out because this was a big talking point from this game. And thank you to everybody in our group chat that was responding to all the text I was sending you guys. It was fun. Nothing like talking puck with the boys in the group chat. And I enjoyed it too. I'll go back and look later. What the fuck was that? What? As a group. I mean, that was awful. We won. We sent. When you guys see clavicular fucking. You're getting frame mog. Frame mog and gesture maxing. There's more action in our group chat than when we won a gold medal. Well, we were all soaking in the moment, dude. We scored the first goal, and I send American flag emojis. Nothing. TJ just goes like raw, which shout out to TJ. That was something, I guess. The rest are you crickets. I didn't even know anybody. I didn't know. Were you watching the game? I was with family in Florida. We were all responding. We were not? I would be fine with no response except for like on a random-ass Tuesday, someone's going to send like, this is what the chocolate rain guy's up to now, and then like it's going to set off like a long conversation where my phone's just blowing up the rest of the night because you're like, no way, dude, that video's sick. Have you guys seen this other video? Check this. and then the group chat will just pop off. The group chat's not popping off for a gold medal. Am I wrong? Am I wrong? You have one time during the group chat you had two messages in a row. At one time. What did you do to the group chat? I had a medical event this weekend. Mark, I need someone to explain the hockey. No, you had three in a row. No one backed up Austin Matthews. I want to have a conversation. And then TJ responded to you talking about Austin Matthews with Tate McRae. Yeah. you said I want to know where Mark Blutman is right now I said I want to know where the hell feed me Mark Blutman obviously he was at breakfast Hellebuck is an American hero this is well after the game there's no chatter during the game well maybe we weren't trying to jinx it which is fine I just want that same energy when you're like look at this video of Yoshi and fucking Princess Peach kissing TJ pull that video up You know, that's my problem. Yeah. If you guys were always this way, that'd be one thing. Bring up Mark Titus on the Wikipedia. Let's give him some flowers. Let's give Mark Titus some flowers. Anyway, the point was I got no response from this, and I want your response now. The Austin Matthews chants early, he was getting killed for it, Brandon, and I didn't understand it. I think people love piling on Austin Matthews, and I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's face. I don't know if it's that he plays for Toronto Maple Leafs and they're fun to pile on as a team. When he has any misstep, he gets more hate than anybody. He's like the – is it? Well, well, well. It's not that I heard about Mark Plotman. Yeah. What about him? We got to get him. How are we going to – We got to go after him. He's probably chomping on some like sausage links during that game. Now, is he happy today or is he sad today? because he likes to straddle the fence. He straddles the American-Canada board. He's a fence straddler. I've heard that the Mandels might have also been straddling the fence. The Mandels? They might have also been more ruined for U.S. I thought Stewart was an American fan. Is that too niche of a sports writer? That's pretty niche. Sorry. Too niche of a sports writer. Is there another Mandel? No? Okay. Fine. How do you feel today? I think that the better team won. I judged it as well. The better team won. Well, that's why they keep score. Yeah, scoring goals is... Yeah, one team scored two goals, one team scored one. You guys got on me because I was rooting for Canada to make it to the final because I want exactly this. I said to you earlier today in the morning when we were tired and just woken up, this means so much more that USA beat Canada. This is infinitely better than U.S. beating Switzerland or Finland for gold. That doesn't move the needle. We would have talked about that for 15 minutes today and it was over and done with and gold. Cool. You talk about this for a lifetime. That's why you root for us to play can on the final. I doubted you bloodman. I doubted you and I apologize. You know, you know what? Oh you make a great point and that why I got you again Oh I hope this is again Yeah I something to celebrate the gold medal Stop Wow I got better than the gold medal Are you kidding me Yeah. Oh, Jack Hughes. Win gold doesn't seem so cool. Connor McDavid, nice MVP, dunce. I got Jackalicious. Yeah. Get his ass. We were talking about the Austin Matthews opportunity before you walked in, and I need someone to explain this to me. I am a hockey expert now because I live in the United States, but at the moment that this play happened, I wasn't a hockey expert. Everyone was, like, killing him. They did the screenshot, and they're like, Austin Matthews did not shoot this. And the goal, Bennington has him squared up. There's a guy wide open. There's a guy on the backside that could just tap it in. Why does Austin Matthews get so much shit? I felt like that was the right play. I don't know. I was like, is it better for him to shoot the puck right into the goalie's chest? Is that what people wanted? In the moment, I was kind of mad because I had told Yandel right before, watch, Eichel's going to go cross ice to Matthews for a little one-timer goal. So I was upset that Matthews didn't take the one tee. I thought he could have. But I don't know. That, to me, did feel like a case of just being a little too unselfish. Like, I do get passing it. But also, you're Austin Matthews. You're one of the premier goal scorers in the world. I'd let it rip there if I was hit. So what people wanted him to do was just simply hit it into this goalie's glove or chest. No, I think you try and rip it top shelf, but it's what it is. It's all good. It worked out on the end. Yeah, and then there's another. That goalie's right in front of his face. Yeah, that's not a. You could dangle a bit, go to your right, go a little backhand. That's what I would do, but I don't know that Austin Matthews had. Fake the shot with your forehand, get banked in out of position, take that puck over backhand, look it up. You make it sound really easy. Yeah. I should have played that. When you put it that way. Not as easy as the fucking McKinnon goal, am I right? The USA fellas? McKinnon. Why does it look like that? So that's the puck. That's the puck. That's all he needed to do is just get that little puck right into there. Mark Tice, you're a Colorado Avalanche fan. TJ, can someone Photoshop? Hold that thought, Blubman. Can we count how many pucks fit in the space that is being left by the goalie? How many pucks could you have hit? I think that's 200 pucks. That might be 300 pucks. Somebody can work on that. That's all the pucks. I want to know how many pucks could have fit inside that. And he just needed to put one in there. All he needed was one, and you could have hit hundreds of pucks in there. What were you going to say, Blubman? You're a Colorado Avalanche fan. That's right. Yesterday was the best thing that could have happened for Colorado Avalanche fans. Nathan McCann's a psychopath. He's not leaving this season without the Stanley Cup. He's going to take it poorly. He didn't even appreciate his plushie, his little stuffy. He didn't appreciate his little stuffed animal. But what about McDavid? Is his back now against the wall? McDavid might be on the brink of depression if he's not all right there. Is this a guy who's going to go down and go? Because he's more than halfway through now, right? Yeah, he's getting up there. The windows getting tight, and the Edmonton teams haven't been able to help them get the – to capture it. It took Ovi, what, 14 years? It took them a long time. It takes guys a long time. It was like when you're Connor McDavid, your entire legacy that you have been building since you were in diapers means nothing if you don't win the cup. And I guess it should be said that, you know, the U.S. did win yesterday, but Sidney Crosby did not play. That was sad to see. And you have to now wonder, did Sidney Crosby want it enough? Yeah, I mean, poor guy had to get up all in his full uniform and pads and everything and go get silver medal and a stuffed animal. I'm a sports collector, guys. You guys know that. I'm a Manteaker. I think I would pay upwards of – I think I'd pay up to $10,000 for one of those sad Canadian stuffed animals. I know they just threw him in the locker room. They just threw him down. If somebody has access to those, I will pay good American money for that. The stuffed animals are one of my favorite parts of this. I want a sad stuffed animal because it happened to the women's team the other day, right? The women's Canadian team. There were pictures of them with the sad stuffed animals, but nothing compared to McKenna and just mean-facing the stuffed animal. Did every silver medalist in the Olympics got a stuffed animal? I thought it was kind of goofy and stupid, but now I think I'm for it. It's a nice reminder that this is a game. This is just a game. Just a game. At the end of the day. And hey, Canada, those gold medal winning Americans over there, they got the same stuffed animal you did. Same stuffed animal. Same medal, just a different color. Just a different color. They're both round. Silver shines just as bright. Which is actually not true. Not even kind of true. That's why they made a gold medal. In terms of the actual medal, silver does not shine as much. Nothing shines like gold. Yes. And it depreciates and it gets worse and worse over time. Yeah, bronze shines the – yeah. We have spent 54 minutes talking about the greatest hockey game since 1980. Might have been the first hockey game. The first hockey game since 1980 that's ever been played. We have not mentioned one name that deserves being mentioned because he had the play of the game. Matt Boldy. Boldy, yeah. That goal was outrageous. I feel like he's getting lost in all of this when he shouldn't be because in a vacuum his goal was better than – I mean, Hughes won the gold medal, But of the two goals, that one was the one that was like, God damn. He took two of the best players in the world for a fucking walk. He absolutely dog walked Kale McCarr. And he's one of the best players. He's probably one of the 15 best players in the world, right? Kale? Yeah. He's probably up in the top six. Okay. Him and Quinn Hughes are two best D-men in the world. Matt Gold. Okay. You can't say that around us. They're calling him Matt Goldie, so that's pretty cool. Good for him. He plays for the Minnesota Wilds. That's right. Yep. Wild hockey guys. I'm learning about all these guys, by the way. You want to play a little bit? Connor Halibuck. He plays for the Winnipeg Jets, Brandon. Dude, we got it. American hero. Also counts as thrashers. Jack Hughes. Jack Hughes. New Jersey Devils, Brandon. Luke Hughes. New Jersey Devils. That was a trick question. Quinn Hughes. Minnesota Wild, Brandon. Dang. How about that? Huh? Previously. Lamb? Another team? Vancouver Canucks. Canucks, is that right? Your guys' grids are going to be my guy today. We're going to smoke it. Zach Wierenski, Columbus Blue Jackets. Blue Jackets. Yeah, I had my own personal, like in Mighty Ducks, when they all go around the room and say their name and where they're from. I had that with Team USA. I was like, say your name and what team you play for. Brady Kachuk, Ottawa Senators. I said, thank you, Brady. Thank you for your service. Can we also point out another name that hasn't gotten love today? Yes, please. We're a mom show. We praise moms on this show. Ellen Hughes. Yeah. Shout out Ellen Hughes. Raised a couple of American heroes. Olympian herself. Yeah. Olympic coach. Was she on the Olympian team? Yeah, but this year she was on the coaching staff for the women, right? She's a part of the administration. I don't know if she's on the coaching staff. I think she was part of the group that put the team together. Okay. Coaches don't get a medal. That's kind of bullshit. That is bullshit. How do the coaches not get a medal? Is that because in every other Olympic sport coaches don't get a medal? Because they're not really coaches? It's just like an athlete thing only, I guess, which is actually good when you realize Coach K never actually won a gold medal. Then you're like, okay, this is kind of funny. I did. When you realize Coach K, anyone that says Coach K won three gold medals, you say, no, he actually didn't. He won me. Yeah, did he play in the 50s? So actually she was never, I don't think she was an Olympian herself, but she played for the national women's hockey team, USA, and then, yeah, she was a player development consultant for this year's women's team. Help put the team together. Can I ask a dumb hockey question? Hey, you're in the right spot. Would Canada have benefited from having Conor Bedard in retrospect? You know what? And I'm glad you brought that up because as the number one hockey guy here, and I'm not saying in this room, I'm saying probably at this company. Right. I'm a longtime Blackhawks fan dating back to the first time Dan gave me his tickets last year. I just don't see a world where Conor Bedard wasn't on that team. He was in the first two months of the NHL regular season, he was a top five player in the league he was fucking incredible then he gets hurt they were looking for any excuse to keep him off the team i gotta think i gotta think in a tight one one game having somebody of his skill out there is gonna help i know with the caliber of a shot i completely agree especially when like sam reinhardt's there sam reinhardt's an incredible player a menace on the power play and everything he's playing sparingly yeah minutes wise and it's like I don't get not having Bedard I asked Yandel I asked Witt about this and and Yandel I recall saying he thinks like yeah they should have brought Bedard but he doesn't think it's the reason that they lose whatever blah blah it's more so like their decor when you compare what they have outside Makar and you look at what the U.S. has as a whole like the U.S.'s defense corps is just so much better their goal tank's so much better he doesn't really think Bedard would have changed it no but in a coin flip game which it was that i agree with like i want that lightning just has a strike once i if i could have bedard shot out there on the that five on three power play with mcdavid mckinnon and macklin helping well that's a no-brainer to me yeah i agree i really i really do think they made a big mistake i think they made a bigger mistake though it's not i don't think bedard's the biggest mistake they made again with the decor i think the biggest mistake they made was not taking Matthew Schaefer. That's what I see. He's the number one pick this year, right? Yeah, he's already one of the best defensemen on the planet. What were they just trying to tell the young because they took Celebrini. Were they just trying to tell the young guns it's not your time yet? There's a rumor. I don't know if it's true. I saw a tweet. I could have got ball sacked hard on this one. Sidney Crosby was not happy. Bedard didn't go to Worlds last year and They didn't get to build a relationship with Bedard, but he got to with Macklin who went. That Canada team, by the way, lost in the first round knockout stage. Two to one to Denmark, a team that had Crosby, Macklin, and McKinnon. Yikers. Yikers. That's what I say. Yikers. Here's a little bit of a photo rendering of. Okay. I'm just looking at that. That's just if he keeps it on the ice. Right. We haven't even. We haven't even. We haven't even. We haven't even. We haven't even. We haven't even. We haven't even. We haven't even. We haven't even. We haven't even. We haven't even. We haven't even. The three-dimensional spin. And you could, I guess, what am I looking at? 75 pucks right there? I don't know. 43. That's definitely more than 43. Thousands. Count them, Brandon. All right. So in the bottom row there, I got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. I go all the way around there. 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 19, 20, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 28, 29, 30, 29, 30, 31, 32, 32, 33, 34, 35, 35, 36, 34, 35, 36, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37. There are 52 pucks there. Well, man, I don't want Nathan McKinnon to play for the Avalanche anymore. I hear what you're saying, that he's going to be motivated. Fuck him. Okay. I think I've been radicalized. I want all of our American players in America. If the Maple Leafs make the Stanley Cup, I want to cheer for Austin Matthews, Brandon. But also, I don't want the Canadians to be happy. You know what I mean? I can see where the conundrum is. Like if the Senators were to make it, you root for Kachuk. It's confusing. Yeah, it is confusing. It's confusing because I will remember all the guys on Team USA, and I'll cheer for them. Can I just help you out real quick? Can I help you out real quick? It's pointless to root for a Canadian team in the Stanley Cup playoffs because they haven't won one since 1993. They're not going to win anyway. So what's the point? Get Austin Matthews off. We've actually owned this sport for decades. Yeah. Can I get a taste of the Toronto Maple Leafs congratulating Austin Matthews' post? Did they do it? And the replies to that. Just a quick little peek at some of the replies. I did not see this. Yeah, I think they made a graphic that just said, congrats to our captain. Is this going to be – Congrats, Austin, Team USA Gold. Sad Canadians? Our captain. The hotel cuck chair. Yeah, that's right. For the podcast listeners. That is. Okay. And that was one reply that you showed. I don't want to scroll. Let's see. Oh, I like dudes going to request a trade after experiencing winning. Yeah. Yep. All this is good. Yeah, congratulations. Matthews. All right. Now Matthews, bring the hype back for a while. These are all bots, by the way, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The Leafs have taken strays, though, from some of the American players. Really? Or, yeah, I mean, they're like – or Canadian players, too, because they asked them about Marner scoring their overtime winner the other day, and they're like, pretty much like, what do you think? They talk so much about Marner doesn't show up in big games. They're like, that must just be a Toronto thing. He just had to get away from Toronto. And then they do it again with Matthews, and it's like, you see how valuable Matthews was for us? He was elite defensively, blah, blah, blah. It's like, again, that must just be a Toronto thing. Maybe it is. I mean, listen, hey. Surely it is. The Blue Jays wore up one in the ninth in the World Series. That's right. Did you see George Springer wore a Team USA jersey to spring training? I did not see that. Springer training. Springer training. Bang. George Springer. Smart move by him, by the way. This is a good PR move because George Springer was on the Astros team that everybody hates. Yeah. He's forever tainted by that. But he did wear the USA jersey while playing for the Canadian baseball team. That was pretty cool. World Baseball Classic next. Did you see? Is he bravely wearing this jersey somewhere in Florida or Arizona? It looks fucking. It doesn't look like Florida or Arizona, does it? It's windy as fucking gray skies, wherever they are. That doesn't look nice. Oh, the Blue Jays manager. John Schneider, is that his name? Sure. I want to know where he is right now. Yeah, fuck him. Bring him to me. Bring his fucking head to me, dude. Why? Before the Olympic thing, he said he was cheering for Team Canada. He's from America. He's as American as you and I. He's from Princeton. Yeah. Teej, get your boy. There's a clip of him being like, oh, no, I'm 100% Canada. Canada all the way. By the way, where are we having the victory parade? Ooh. I know that they're in Miami. Coast to coast. Destin. Should we organize? Destin's a great one. That's where we have to go. We'll organize a victory parade. I will say. Destin's in Florida. I will say, Chicago would be convenient for me. Great in New Jersey. Chicago would be convenient for me. The Barstool parking lot would be most convenient for me. That would be the most convenient for me. So if you're asking me, that's my vote. That would be very convenient. Yeah. Barstool parking lot would work. Yeah. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're probably going to do it around the White House lawn or something, around Capitol Hill. Maybe on top of the Washington Monument. That's dangerous. I mean. Or it's probably just going to be through a parade of strippers at 11 tonight in Miami. Can we do 11 tonight? Can we do ticker tape in Times Square? Can we bring that back? That would be sick. Can we? Do we have to win wars to do that? What does ticker tape mean? I think that's just confetti, right? That's all it is. It's the only time you ever use the phrase ticker tape. Is ticker tape parade? I feel like ticker tape might be. Is that phrase gone? When's the last time we had a ticker tape parade? 2009. For what? Yankees. They had a ticker tape? Ticker tape parades. Ticker tape parade. It's a parade where it's just filled with confetti. I don't know. What is it? The Yankees had a ticker tape parade? That's what they call it. A ticker tape parade is a parade. I'm asking you, TJ. Did the Yankees have a ticker tape parade? Yeah. I went. And they were throwing ticker tape. It's mainly a New York thing. You assume so. Because they used to use stock ticker paper. TJ's talking out of his ass. Ticker paper. What do you mean? Did they have the ticker tape or not? You said, I assume so. Yeah. I don't feel like you know that they did or not. TJ. How do you want me to? Yes. When did we get that mouth? Yes. You said, I assume so. Say it with your chest. I didn't take the paper home and analyze. Were you covered in ticker tape? But that's the key part of the parade. I didn't ask if they had a parade. I asked specifically about the ticker tape, and you're saying, I assume so. That's not a good enough answer. Would you rather be covered in ticker tape? Paper fell from the sky. Okay. I didn't source back where they got it from. Okay. All right. TJ's right. About what? You can back it up on Google 2009 ticker tape. All right, TJ, give yourself some flowers. The last two ticker tape parades were the New York Liberty in 2024 and for the health care professionals and essential workers in 2024. List of ticker tape parades. Oh, we used to do it all the time. Yeah. The Yankees used to win a lot of trips. What the? Oh, the women's soccer team winning the World Cup. I personally. I personally think we should have a victory parade in Albany, Georgia. Sammy Sosa got one for the summer of 98? What? October 17. Is that just a code word for steroids? October 17, 1998, Sammy Sosa, right fielder who had 66 homers. And for helping it. That's just Chicago looking for a reason to party. No, this is in New York. New York? In hurricane relief. score more with the college branded Venmo debit card.

I enjoyed the cadence of waking up. Can I admit something to you? and throwing it on. I missed it this morning. I'm going to miss the Winter Olympics. This was a lot of fun. We started this Winter Olympics with me being a hater, with me being like, yeah, they're Olympic zone, but they're winter. They're not summer. Summer is far superior. And gradually I started getting into it. Gradually they started grabbing me, and by the last five days, my whole day was built around it. And you're right. There's a moment the Monday or Tuesday after the Olympics when you realize you've built your day around waking up and it just being ubiquitous. It's everywhere. You watch it. You're watching sports you never thought you'd watch, and now they're gone. Now they're just gone. And the stories pull me in. So for me personally, this is way too serious of a thought to have on this show, but I had it while I was watching. This is my first Olympics as a father, as a man who has a kid, and why that was important to me is I noticed instead of like all the personal interest stories hit me different, Brandon. And I don't need to explain it to you. like how it works but like all the like michaela schifrin won gold and she was like her dad passed away and she's like talking about her dad like those the first thing she said was dad and uh the johnny gaudreau stuff both ways like his kids but then his father and like all that shit i was just i don't know i was i was sobbing yesterday watching the gaudreau stuff well and and it like it all that all these stories like hit me in a way that i've watched every olympics that's ever taken place in my life and i only focused on the athletes and now i see why they do the sob stories because because now I'm the guy sobbing. You realize the amount of sacrifice by everybody involved in Olympic athlete's life, especially hockey is one thing, but somebody who spends their entire life alpine skiing, the amount of money, the amount of time, the amount of – like a figure skater, the amount of – you have to move. You can't just be a figure skater in Flagstaff, Arizona. You've got to move to a place. You've got to find the place. You've got to find the place. You've got to go. You've got to pay. You've got to do all these things, and the dad and the mom are just so involved with it. and then everything comes down to one moment and it either ends up in gold or it doesn't, and the parents are there regardless. Yeah. It was really, really cool to see it through that lens. And I put a lot of pressure on my daughter. I said, that's got to be you someday. You've got to make this all work. Did you pick her sport or are you going to let her pick? I'll let her pick, but she's got to win gold. She better win gold. Well, silver's not bad. Right? Silver shines just as bright, Blutman. Imagine in 20 years his beautiful daughter skates up to him, hands him the silver medal, he just looks at it, spits on it. Spits on it. Throwback. You got four years to go get the other one. I'll throw the medal back, but I will save the plushie. I will save the tough, the stuffy. What was that thing? I don't know. I thought it was a stuffed animal. But it looked like it was like two bears. It was cool looking. I liked it. It's not cool looking. What do you call one of those things, Connor? A plushie? A plushie? A stuffy? It's Tina and Milo. No, I always just say stuff. Show me Tina and Milo. I haven't actually looked at them. Oh. Every Olympics has a mascot like this. Right. What the heck? You're telling me after 62 minutes of hockey, of grinding, they put on their silver medal, and then some Italian just comes up to them and says, here you go. And they give them. France. Right. I know that we have the Olympic mascot. What are Tina and Milo? I know we have Olympic mascots. I get that, but I never knew they were given to everybody. I want to say they always knew. What do you think Nathan McKinnon did with that? I think there's a pile. I think there's currently, maybe it's on Canadian plane, maybe it's not. Maybe it's stuck in wherever they were, Milan. But there's a bag. There a hefty trash bag a white hefty trash bag with 25 stuffed animals in it Anthropomorphic stoves And I gotta be honest there might be 25 silver medals in that bag Do you guys think Canadians What do you think they did with the silver medals? You think they just chunked them in a locker? You think they chunked them in a bag? You think they kept them? You think they're wearing them? I would say they kept them. I would say... But, like, it's hard for me to imagine McDavid keeping it. Yeah, and McKinnon I don't think cares about. But, like, a Travis Sanheim, I'm sure. really cares about, you know? I feel like McKinnon, as he skates off the ice, is already taking the medal off and just kind of chunks it to the side. Silver medal is still incredible. Still incredible. But given the context for these guys, not incredible. What is this thing? Not for them. So this is technically, they are stuffed animals. Yes. The animal part is. So they killed that animal right there and stuffed it and give it to everybody? They're also brother and sister, by the way, Milo and Tina. Oh. Tina is the Olympic mascot. Milo is the Paralympic mascot. Okay. Which starts this week. Cortina, named after Cortina. Wait, so it's not over? No, the Paralympics follow the Olympics. The Paralympics are about to start. That's good news, Brandon. Paralympics are cool. Sled hockey is crazy. You can still build your entire day around the Olympics. Yeah. Now, the next Winter Olympics is in France. That's French Alps. I don't like that. And then weekend. They just kept saying during the closing ceremony. All they say is the French Alps. The French Alps. Where is it? What does that mean? It's just up in a mountain. Also, if you look at the map, the French Alps are closer to Milan than Cortina. Is that what it was? Cortino? Cortina. That's closer. So they're basically, it's the exact same spot. The Olympics are at the exact same spot. It's running back. They're running back. So they're breaking down the bobsled pipe right now, and they're just going to move it 20 miles. Yeah. Do you prefer that time difference, or would you rather it be on waking up and... I honestly get used to it. That's awesome. Yeah. I love morning sports. Yeah. That's what I – I'm very pro West Coast sports consumption in general. It was kind of sweet yesterday that that hockey game happened in the morning. Everybody was complaining about it before, but we had the whole day to soak it in after. Yeah. The whole fucking day. Yeah, yeah. That's what – yeah. Whenever people talk about what's the best time zone in America to watch sports, everyone hates the West Coast, but not me. Not guys like us, Blutman. For certain. I love morning sports. Me too. I'm not playing. What do I care? I'm a little sleepyhead. When you wake up, watch a little pot, get the juices flowing, have a day out of it. What a way to start your day. You ever think about that? Win a gold medal? I won a gold medal yesterday before 10 a.m. Damn, what time did they start it? 5 a.m. on the West Coast? Yeah. I suppose so. Imagine being in Alaska cheering on Swayman. 4 a.m. See Alaska? Yeah. 12 states represented by these Americans. Is that a high number? That's a number. By the way, the L.A. Olympics, they're playing soccer. in St. Louis or something? They're playing softball in Oklahoma City. That's insane. Oklahoma City has to be the premier softball capital of the world, though. Yeah, they own softball. Sure, but it's the Los Angeles Olympics. I imagine there's a softball field somewhere in L.A. The L.A. metro area. I imagine they'll have... Yeah, you can probably find it. They want to deal with the traffic? Hell of a turnout at O'Brien's in Santa Monica. Hell yeah. Did you see Jeremy Swayman, Kyle Connor, and Jackson Lacombe watching in overtime? No, I didn't. Bad, bad setup. They were... Oh, were they back in the tunnel? Yeah, and at first they were watching on the little phone. Three of them huddled around the phone watching, and they got upgraded. Can I ask a hockey question? That's the number one hockey podcast here at Marshall. Oh, my God. What? That's how they saw the golden goal. That's pretty funny. How did he – how does Jack Hughes hit that puck so hard, get that much speed, and not elevate? How do you – How do you keep it on the ice? How do you keep it on the ice? Because my general thought would be he hits that so hard, it's going to naturally kind of – The Chicklets guys were wondering if he almost mishit it a little. Right. He kind of hits over the top of it a little bit? Maybe. I really don't know. Because that's what – if he hits that with elevation, I think it's smothered. They thought maybe he misheaded a little and just completely fooled Bainton. TJ, can you find like a shot of – Contact? Jack Hughes. Is there a picture out there of Jack Hughes' game-winning goal? Yeah. He went through the five hole, right? Bainton made a sick stop before that too in the OVT with the glove. Yeah, he kind of got lucky because it was a great stop. He got the glove on it, but then it popped out. It could have very easily popped out behind him. Oh, that's the puck going in, which is pretty sick. Think about it. Jack Hughes. Anybody got the number on that Nathan McKinnon, how many pucks we're up to? Our boy Blake. 286 pucks. 286. I think that might be a little. That's awesome. I think that might be a little. Can we put that out? Blake made this and sent it to us. God bless you, Blake. I love Blake so much. That's so cool. 286 pucks. That puck could have gone 286. And people forget, Nathan McKinnon tried out to be a manager for Team USA, didn't get it, and then transferred to Canada. That's right, Ebo. Are you raising your voice enough? People forget. Critical contacts, yeah. um and can we get like by the way i just want to contrast how much space mckinnon had versus how much space jack hughes had underneath how many pucks could have fit underneath bennington's legs three maybe yeah yeah huh it's interesting that goal by the way i don't think we've touched on it i thought for sure we had turned the puck over and mckinnon was going to get to it and it was going to be a clear 2-1-1, maybe 2-0 for the Canadians in our territory. Well, at the very beginning, Jack Hughes with that poke, if he doesn't get that poke, you're going to trouble. Yeah, exactly. They go down. McKinnon kind of overplayed it or was hesitant to play it. But our guys were fucking fighting for it. We wanted him more. He completely out-toughed McKinnon. Hughes makes the insane poke, which was like a super ballsy play this spring at all. So McCarr's out of the play. mcdavid's back checking was absolutely pathetic i agreed like mcdavid with gold on the line is he didn't check one back there i saw that you gotta put everything you've got into it and to me that says canada don't care about the puck like the u.s care about the buck agreed you gotta check all the backs so if mckinnon want to say watch that game you tell me who was a better team nathan yeah watch that game get him tell me who cared more about yes straight yeah throw it a bud throwing a bud in there. Nathan, watch that game. Tell me who cared more about that sport. Bud. There you go. Eviscerated him. The new year is here. Get back into an at-home routine you love. Elevate your space with Wayfair.

Wayfair, every style, every home. Great jingle. So we've got about 10 minutes before we end this parade. I guess we can hit a couple of other things. Yeah, I wanted to talk about hockey all day, but also there is something in the Mostly Sports universe that needs to be addressed. Yeah. And my plan was, if you would have told me on Friday that the United States would beat Canada in overtime and win the gold medal, I would say, well, Monday, we're going to spend every second of the show talking about the gold medal hockey game. And we probably would. And we came close. We've got 10 minutes left, and I think we need to address what happened on Saturday night in the gambling cave. You're aware of this, Brandon. Well, let me set you up, Mark, because mostly hoops. Go check that out. If you're angry at us for not talking college basketball today, mostly hoops went an hour before this show. Go check them out. But on Saturday, they saw it coming. They saw a huge day, number two against number four. number one against number three, something like that. Top four teams in the country played. Mostly Hoops did a live watch along. You were here. Cody was here. White boy Rick was here. Had all the boys. At some point, the one thing that we do when we stream, we've got to eat. We've got to eat. The boys have to eat. Listen, we're not mining for coal here, but you do work up an appetite. You get hungry. We're human beings, and we need to be fed. We were there for six hours, seven hours, something like that. at a certain point, you're still doing that then, huh? Yeah. Yeah. All right, no, focus. All right, Mark, what goes – I can't stop it. What goes better with sports – You've done that a couple times. What goes better with watching sports than pizza? What goes better than pizza? So the first game ends, and the boys are working up an appetite, sitting there watching sports, and we say, what are we doing for food? Hey, what's for dinner? What's for dinner? Now, Ibo, you're in on these streams a lot. You oftentimes sit off to the side off camera, And this is not uncommon, correct, for a Dan Big Cat Cats to say, hey, room, you want some food? Yeah. And then someone maybe sitting over in your little section will take care of it. Jack McCarthy. Yeah, me, Jack. You, right? Yeah. That's kind of the standard procedure, right? So we didn't have those people. This was a light crew, obviously. Still seven people. College basketball, but there were seven people there. And Cody was in charge. Cody was the producer in charge. Cody of mostly sports fame. That's right. Somebody got to do it. Yeah. Cody, we got to order pizza. Somebody got to do it. It's got to be you. So Cody, I task him with getting pizza for the boys. And Cody says, okay, cool. Where do you want me to get it from? And I said, it doesn't matter. Just like make it fast. Honestly, it's not that big of a deal. Just like whatever's quick. Whatever's easy and close. And let's make it with. So 20, 30 minutes go by. Cody says, pizza's here. And I come around the corner. and Cody's pointing at the pizza that he's opened up for us. He's got his hands on his hips like a proud man who's just caught like a prized fish or something. He was showing off. He's like, look what I just did. There is one thin crust pizza and one tiny little side of garlic bread, Brandon, for seven men, for seven grown adult men. Seven big men. Seven big men. Seven Barstool Sports employees. Right, pathetic Titans. Seven. And Cody could not understand why this was just simply not enough pizza, why this was an absurd order of pizza. It just didn't register with him until we pointed it out. The still shots of you befuddled and Cody kind of still looking sure of himself. Yeah. There's your pizza. And then you know how Cody does. He's spiraling. He's trying his best to make this not as big of a deal. He put it on Ebo, right? Yeah, he's putting it on Ebo saying Ebo said don't go crazy. Then he's telling me, like, we're like, dude, you got one pizza for seven guys. He's like, yeah, there are 24 slices, which, by the way, it's not cut in triangles. It's cut in the squares. So, like, one slice is, like, that big, right? He's like, there's 24 slices. That's, what, six per person? I was like, what math are you doing, Kobe? That didn't make sense at all. Seven people, and there's 24 slices. How is there six per person? Ebo, when you told him not to go crazy, I think you meant don't buy 25 pizzas, right? Yeah, don't go getting, like, the caviar. Don't get caviar service, basically. Get some pizza, get some sandwiches or something Blutman, will you get Cody? We need him in here for this Evo, you're in charge Seven guys, how many pizzas are you ordering? I'm probably getting Four? I'm probably going to Prince Street and I'm getting like Two of the square pies and then a big cheese pizza Yeah, sure Which the Prince Street, the square ones are thick They're a little more filling Listen, as the food order guy There's a lot of pressure A lot of pressure. I've been in spots where I've had a bad food order, and he's got to bounce back. But if you're going to make a mistake, I think you need to make a mistake to the top side. Yeah. Oh, Cody brought McDonald's. Wow. He brought food today. This episode of Mostly Sports is brought to you by McDonald's Hot Honey Sauce. Hot Honey Sauce is at McDonald's for a limited time. Your favorite order just got better with Hot Honey Sauce. You'll want to make sure you're on time for McDonald's breakfast menu now that it has the Hot Honey Sausage Egg Biscuit. New Hot Honey Sauce now at McDonald's for a limited time only. Cody brought McDonald's for the whole crew Yeah There is Yeah, there's one in there You would like to do the honors? Hot honey sauce Oh, there really is just one Hot honey sauce to Jug Biscuit Thanks, Cody Cody, there's six of us Pass it around I mean Take a bite and pass it around It is good enough that, yeah One bite is So savory All you need is a sauce That's about it Get a little bit of that hot honey sauce There Yummy Thanks Cody You're the fucking man Cody You have anything to say for yourself In what regard the subject that we've been talking about the last five minutes? Did you buy enough pizza? Yes. That's where we're going with this? Look, I never ordered pizza for the stream before. I didn't understand how much I should order, so I got a side, and I was like, all right, we're just watching the games. No one's really looking to come here to eat. We're just watching the games and doing the stream. This is crazy. That's insane. and this is why this is why I love Cody's this is why this is why I love Cody's fuck ups more than anyone else on the show because if Ebo did this Ebo I'd be like you ordered one pizza and you would go yeah I'm a fucking dickhead I don't know what I was thinking I'm sorry and then it's over and it's done and it's just like yeah mistakes happen people you know I didn't realize all seven people yeah I don't know you fucked up that's how you handle it Cody just like starts grasping for any lifeline he possibly can. None of them make any sense. That makes sense. If you had it to do over again, how many pizzas are you ordering? What did you say, sir? If you had it to do over again, how many pizzas are you ordering? Five? Yeah, that's probably right. Yeah. I would have, and I told you this in the moment, that I would have ordered what you ordered for just myself. If I was at home on my couch wanting pizza, that would have been my order. It would have been one. Garlic bread? They did have garlic bread People keep forgetting about the garlic bread So Cody's original angle was I paid out of pocket for this Brandon So he's like I didn't want to get too much And then the text show from Ebo I didn't know the crazy threshold That Ebo you Explicitly said I don't know if I was explicit I said don't go crazy Which is a bit ambiguous I guess You said because you texted me I guess it can be ambiguous to don't go crazy. I don't know what crazy is. The point still stands, even if he could expense it, in the moment he did pay out of his own pocket. Yes. It's a later problem of whether or not he could expense it. Cody, let me ask you this. You should be good to expense after, and Cody said, okay, cool. Cody, let me ask you this. Let's say we're not at the Barstool office. Let's say you invited those six guys and yourself to your apartment and the seven people are there. it's now on you it's your house how many peaches you're ordering one i would how why is he formulating we have to all like i'd probably be like yo venmo me yeah what you could have done there's no problem mark would have paid for the pizza no problem the chat the live chat because i caught cody in that lie that he was like i thought this was out of my pocket even though ibo said you could expense it and you responded okay cool so You saw his text. 100%. And the live chat said, they said Copa knew. Come on. My issue was the crazy threshold. You didn't get near it. No, as Big Cat pointed out, you ordering one pizza and a side of garlic bread is literally the craziest order you could have. You did the crazy. It takes a while to get reversed. I can't be spending 500 bucks. Ibo said don't go crazy. You went crazier than you could possibly. 100 pizzas would have been less crazy than one pizza. But Cody, you realize if cost was a concern, you just say, hey, Mark, I'm going to order three pieces. But then I brought up the Octigli angle. It's the same thing. What's the Octigli angle? When he spent $400 on Dwin. I got fucked out of $400 for shirts that no one ever put on their body. I don't have $400. Yeah, but that was crazy too. When I mentioned Octigli, the first time the term Octigli was uttered on the show, I walk out of the door after the show, and Cody goes, dude, should we get shirts made? And I was like, yeah, I mean, if you want. Yeah. That means email the Barstool Shots. Right. Email the team we have here. And you ran to a local place. You've got to fuck up to learn how to do it the right way. That's true. That's true. That's why life's so beautiful. That's what mistakes are. Family. They're learning opportunities. All right. Thank you, Cody. Get out of here. So funny. The number one and number two both lost on the same day. Kansas got blown out by – it was a historic loss in Allen Fieldhouse. I think half the top ten lost on Saturday. And the only thing I'll remember from that Saturday of college basketball was Cody ordered one pizza for seven guys. So funny. Anything else on the hockey game before we get out of here? I mean, we could talk about it tomorrow. We'll just bring it up tomorrow, I think. We can bring it up tomorrow. We own hockey. We are hockey. I do want to watch the Dan Rappaport video tomorrow. We'll watch that tomorrow. It's one of my favorites. We're hockey, Brandon. This is a hockey show. This is a hockey country. This is a hockey town. We are mostly sports, owns hockey. America owns hockey. So thank you. It feels good. It feels good that we can freely talk hockey and no one can stop us.
