Murph:

Did I? I guess I went to Chicago. Oh, that special?

Zac Saleski:

Oh, yeah. I mean, your brother? Yeah. Consider that. Oh, yeah.

Murph:

So sorry. I'm now realizing what you're queuing up to. That was a you know, this is why would you get scripted cheese? Yeah, he played his 500th career game which is very good. And the NHL level unfortunately. All the team did was give him an Instagram shout out which that's it. That's it. No. Kidding me up. No. Nothing recognized during the game. Nothing. No, yeah, I literally had I had to hold in peeing for like an hour. Because I was gonna miss something. And I didn't do anything

Zac Saleski:

at the game. Wait, Patrick Kane got like a jersey for

Murph:

1400 1000s like a really big milestone, like five hundreds like big but like, in the scheme of, I guess the team it's like congrats, but like, let's let's do like I don't know,

Zac Saleski:

I saw the I saw the post his Instagram slash Facebook posts and granted to if you guys follow Chicago Blackhawks they love you should they love Connor and they do, rightfully so. You just get a social media shout out. Right.

Murph:

Yeah, that's how you did it. You know? Yeah. I mean, that's more than what we all get. That'd be you know,

Zac Saleski:

not even a pencil,

Murph:

right? I'll be well, I'll be. I'll be 10 years at my job. And I'm just getting a month paid vacation. So it's like, you know, I'm not getting shout out. or pencils or anything.

Zac Saleski:

Not even a gift card.

Murph:

No. No. Damn nothing. So yeah, that's just unfortunately the reality of life.

Zac Saleski:

We found this batch of lettuce in the back. You can take that home. Oh, thank you.

Murph:

It's contaminated. But you can take it home.

Zac Saleski:

The wait a while and wash it. But there you go. be fine.

Murph:

I should make those jokes. No, no. Jaja Paula, thank you so much for the Oh, no, no, no. They're good. Now. It's just one hiccup. They're good. Now I can say that. They're good.

Zac Saleski:

Now. Not just any hiccup that happen very close to here.

Murph:

Yeah. Yeah, unfortunately. But that's all that's old news. It's all it's all stuff. Geez. Come on. Sorry. But in the past, it just funny.

Zac Saleski:

I'm gonna milk that cow. You.

Murph:

You enjoy it too much.

Zac Saleski:

For those you guys watch. Some of my vlog actually did a kind of a special road trip to seek a Autumn Fest in West Virginia. Surreal Konoba

Murph:

thanks for the invite. You're busy. Yep. You had

Zac Saleski:

your Halloween party. True. Continue. But no, I actually was really fun. Got to see one place I really haven't been to and honestly really didn't miss out. It's like one, one road now. And they move everything to Sunday. I was like, Okay,

Murph:

I actually got to go to the Circleville pumpkin show. So I was kind of cool. You did it busy. But it was cool. Yeah, it was fun. Oh, yeah. Forgot. Yeah. That was fun. That was before I went to Chicago, but yeah, it was cool. It was obviously very Circleville. Yes. Yeah. Actually had I thought like, Oh, I'll try and be healthy. And you can't be healthy at a show like that. But I was like, I'll get the deep fried vegetables. Nope, nope. Nope. I mean, they were good. But like the deep frying and the dill they use was so heavy. I didn't even finish the whole thing. It was like they gave like a spicy Ranch was was good but like it was just sad. So heavy. I couldn't finish it all

Zac Saleski:

they have they have some life that in West Virginia. They had like a they had like a little truck. Okay. Something like that. It's like, it's like oh, we could get like a fried you know, literally anything. Yeah, it's all over trucks and fried onion, fried pepper fried oreos, you name it. It's just like why? Why are we doing this? That's America. You can fry your phone actually.

Murph:

You want I want to eat it. That'd be kind of gross, but it's cool actually want to get Oreos? I was just feeling so weird. After the fried vegetables. I was like, I don't think I can even do Oreos. I

Zac Saleski:

was I mean you eat healthy. So no problem. That's

Murph:

a problem. The problem was is like, right I was. So during Lent, I ate healthy and I cut out the bad stuff. So that by the time I started eating bad stuff again, I could eat a ton of it because like, my body was so used to like, ready for it. Now I'm kind of balancing bad stuff and good stuff. So I can't eat as much bad stuff anymore. Like it's like your body. My body's like, now you've done it already this week. You can't do it again. Like I said, like this is it.

Zac Saleski:

So I gotta tell you again. Yeah, we'll make you start putting your pants Exactly. You

Murph:

know, I may not look like it. But I like to think I'm pretty healthy if I don't look like especially this mustache. But yeah, it's,

Zac Saleski:

you know, it's rough. I can barely see your mustache from here. So you got a shot.

Murph:

Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. That's as much as you get right. They're not we're I'm not a facial hair kind of guy. Try but I was not very good at it. Okay. Yeah. Oh, I didn't finish. Unfortunately, the Blackhawks did loose. So that sucked. So that was not fun. Oh, we you know, we did do some nice dinners for his 500th and my mom, my sister were there as well. My dad couldn't make it obviously coaching for New York. So yeah, unfortunately, the downsides of being professional athlete is you are on call for the team almost 24/7. So when you want to enjoy big family events, they cannot. And yeah, so it was a really good time. A lot of fun. A lot of nice food. Cards girlfriend is awesome. As always, when we got to visit with her and talk to her more. He's got an awesome dog. Thin. He has his own Instagram page. He's, uh, the I don't know, dude. It's cool, though. It's fun. He's got a lot of energy.

Zac Saleski:

He's a goofy dog. Oh, yeah.

Murph:

He's Oh, my God. He's cute and hilarious, too. I could not raise them 24/7 like they do. But when I visit him, I have fun. And it's a good time. And then when I leave, I'm like, it's kind of like, you know, kids really like happy. They're not mine. Because I don't want that responsibility all the time. But I'm happy to see them and have some fun and get them revved up for their parents and leave. So yeah, that's that's kind of how I were about Yeah, so yeah, Somalia. That's the word I was looking for. They're just Somalia. So yeah. So that then, I guess, while we're still on the topic, I guess the latest news is they have fired the head coach now because they've lost so much. You know, that is finally over. Unfortunately, the top of the UN a nightmare.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah, dude, that the GM and the coach, this is some of the issues that came out and,

Murph:

and all fairness which I don't want to get. Yeah, but I'll just make one comment on it. And people can I'm sorry. Hopefully this doesn't get them to unsubscribe from your podcast. No one No one. I don't know. Fair enough. Fair. I don't think it's fair that and it was a horrible situation. I will agree with that. And the right people have been held accountable. But I don't think it's fair that leagues takes so long to make decisions. Sure. Like, especially with right now, most of the guys on that team or not there when this happened. And now they finally make this decision. I don't even know it was I think it was when they want to stand like it was when they won Stanley Cup. Damn, yes, I'm saying it's like, this is almost like 10 years now. Oh, just like, yeah, now we're gonna, like reopen those wounds and do all that stuff. Like, don't get me wrong, hold the people responsible. You need to report but I think you owe it to the victim and people to have a timely response. And the fact that the NHL took this long as to me very shocking, and disappointing, because like, I mean, two, three years, understandable. 510 That's just ridiculous. That's crazy. Like, you gotta gotta make the decision to move on. It took them this long, like he said, I think I really think the commissioner Knight meetable accountable for this. They got to the guy got his name on the Stanley Cup, take it off. Like, just bad, bad all around. Anyway, that's the only way the only thing I'm going to go into it on. It was a horrible situation. I feel awful for everyone involved. There's a special place in hell for that guy, excuse me, but I just do not I do not support anything of what happened with that. But I just get angry that this new culture we seem to live in where now, past mistakes can be brought up 510 20 years, like, shit, we all make mistakes. The whole point, he's got to be able to move on in a timely fashion. And to just reopen those wounds. It's just not fair. Like, it sounds weird. But even think about it like criminals have timetables were like crimes are forgotten. Oh, and nowadays, like, you can make a bad host and that's never forgotten for the rest of your life. Like it's crazy. It's crazy. It's I know people look just care for your posts on the internet. But you're like, in some of these cases, you're a teenager and you post something like, Hell someone could bring up one of these podcasts and be like, he said something kind of risky that doesn't like doesn't match our new PC culture. And you're like, someone's home as a match. Yeah, no, yeah.

Zac Saleski:

Even if someone brought something up and be like, Okay, this is what you're gonna get right.

Murph:

Now. I like to think we're not that bad. No, I don't know. Maybe

Zac Saleski:

this is Murph kin Canadian side talk,

Murph:

right? No, no, no, don't say, don't piss them off more. But no, it's like, no, it's just I don't know if that's my last TSA on that. I'm just like, I'll get off the soapbox. Now. That's just the one thing

Zac Saleski:

that I one thing that drives me nuts. TSA will go down that road PSA. I

Murph:

don't know. I said Tsa, tsa, TSA. TSA too. But no, no, that's just I don't know. That's just the thing that I understand when it happens may take a year or two to fully investigate and talk to everyone. But 510 years like you're just It's just that's just bad. It's just really bad now and you're punishing people like, especially in the Blackhawks organization, my brother Mark Andre flurry, people that have like, came into this organization not really thinking about this and now punishing all of them and giving them a bad name when they're just trying to focus on their job, and doing what they do and dedicate their life to like, it sucks, sucks,

Zac Saleski:

easy to get good team. In a situation like this, you're gonna start having bringing in people who could potentially kind of bring about upheaval, kind of uplift a roster. And, you know, that's something that also worry about too. And

Murph:

also not fair to fans. Because you're going through, you're going through the struggle of the rebuilding, and rebuilding and then now, you're almost embarrassed to wear their gear because they have this national thing hanging over their head. And true. I mean, I mean, fortunately, it's, I guess you could say the same thing about some of the other topics we've talked about about atrocities in the past for countries that are being brought up now and things like that, but it's like, oh, no,

Zac Saleski:

thank you. Thank you to our only Canadian who reached out to us last time. Thank you. Appreciate it. All right. I should make sure

Murph:

that the first one make sure I did in fact check my they did in fact, check my sources. I will

Zac Saleski:

they came, okay. They came at me and they're like, oh, like these are my sources. And one of them. All right, was pressed for truth. Which I know Dan Dix pretty, like I don't know a person. But I, I follow him. The antics. Sorry, I know good name Canadian Jesus. But no, it's they're kind of like a so called, you know, non discriminatory, like news media. And I was like, oh, this person. Yeah. I know. Face. I just want to leave it that. He's a good guy. Does his work, but I haven't heard press for truth and so long as it Oh, man, it's been a minute.

Murph:

I mean, I guess we'll baby should have warned the listeners that you're like, if you're listening to us, for fact, check facts and opinions, then you're on the wrong podcast. That's like I literally, I take the way you used to

Zac Saleski:

Canadian for our roof from Canada. But you know what, he's? He's Canadian. That's all we need. I

Murph:

do not take my words of the gospel truth. Like yeah, that's not that's not where we're at. I'm sure we're gonna get some fun messages on that one. But do not take my word for the gospel truth. So like, you see, some of my things are like, yeah, no, that's about right. You take someone from Canada, that's what they gonna say. And others have. It's like, yeah, you're completely off. I have no idea you're talking about so you know, that's just my life. Tyler,

Zac Saleski:

it's the ball I have to do is just say, just a bunch of trigger words press for truth. Rick Simpson, cannabis oil and all kinds of crap next year, no damn band. All we need. That was a big thing for a while. That's why and people know, Canada had issues with marijuana and CBD oil, and Rick Simpson kind of start all that stuff, because they found out was helping with pain.

Murph:

And some were saying that's how Trudeau won because he promised to unban

Zac Saleski:

marijuana when he's in it.

Murph:

I can't remember. Oh, no idea wasn't interested. I don't think it was too long after his Prime Minister, things started that whole system confuses me, because it's like, they're basically a prime minister for as long as they want but then they can just randomly have elections every once in a while to show that they're like, oh, still democratic. And so I don't know I don't I don't I have done the full research on it all. I don't really know how it works.

Zac Saleski:

Step one, remove yourself from England.

Murph:

Like England does as well. He does the same things at Parliament there but they're probably slight differences. But like Yeah,

Zac Saleski:

well, that's that's the thing with the US they kind of they kind of set the stage for all that. And then the rest of the country is like, Okay, that looks good on paper and then they try to adopt it but not everything like this happen every once a while when people really yes often baby

Murph:

yeah. Or they'll be like, you know, oh, my numbers really high. Let's just have a lecture now. So it's like I was elected like, it's very Wow. Yeah, it's very interesting.

Zac Saleski:

Meanwhile, in the outskirts of Canada, alright, someone gets some rocks for chuckling that Trudeau today

Murph:

maybe just isn't whilst in Cannes. The Crown Royal bottles. Boy Crown Royal Holy shit. That's a sponsorship. We need crown Oh,

Zac Saleski:

buddy. I swear if that happens, we are

Murph:

we've made it and we've if at this point, we've made it if we get Crown Royal sponsorship.

Zac Saleski:

We'd be done.

Murph:

Oh my gosh,

Zac Saleski:

we'd probably bite. Well, you

Murph:

know what, I just quit my normal job because I'd be like, I'm just drinking Crown Royal day. live off the government.

Zac Saleski:

Or be over here. Crown Royal vanilla. It's right. Like or make good stuff.

Murph:

Oh, yeah. I might have to have one of those on one of our podcasts just in honor of the podcast, man so sugary, but it's so

Zac Saleski:

good, man. I tell you what, he put some I've had I went to New Hampshire this last year since New Hampshire doesn't have any liquor tax there. We my dad stopped there. And then that's where I got the butterscotch liquor. From who? Oh, it's

Murph:

just an officer.

Zac Saleski:

Oh, it's like a I think it's like a shops. Okay. Okay, and

Murph:

like is around Crown Royal and you're like butterscotch liquor but no, I'll make that I'll say

Zac Saleski:

like I mix that stuff in with it with a little bit of like, real beer cool do and you can't taste anything. It's so smooth and like I'm I'm done I'm dead

Murph:

cheese. Yeah Yep that's that's bad. Yeah

Zac Saleski:

thank you non sponsor

Murph:

right I think I'm putting out in the world you're putting it out in the world

Zac Saleski:

oh god I that's the thing Halloween was a little bit gold this year we got a

Murph:

preview it was yeah remember you chose not to come but the party will lit

Zac Saleski:

we tell them well cool people showed up

Murph:

with me oh yeah we wish that we had people show up but like I said I invited you so before users are like oh Tyler's

Unknown:

not a good friend he's like oh, I was gonna say yeah I'm gonna say that

Murph:

yeah we can't say it was boring and then no like oh Tara threw a party Why don't you go like Oh no, you chose not to go I either was there that you could not but yeah, that's

Zac Saleski:

you know cuz like i i hate to be like tied up and not literally I hate I hate to be like kind of thrown kind of convoluted into place. You know in one place for Halloween. I just I feel like I have to go travel somewhere because there are no right or maybe just the scenery or whatever. It's just different over here this time of year so that's one reason why I went to West Virginia and all these other places but happy it got to go. It was good. And then that word November in

Murph:

protest did you guys go in costume?

Zac Saleski:

No. Oh no. I should

Murph:

have been funny. Okay, awesome.

Zac Saleski:

You got to remember this is like a blue collar town really? What the hell you doing

Murph:

so Oh, he cares.

Zac Saleski:

No, it's it was it was unique fun though but looking forward to next year

Murph:

already only 360 Something days yeah no

Zac Saleski:

idea. Like so many like different like groups and on there I people post like a picture a day for Halloween until the next one. Don't drag me back in I swear. But they know is a field

Murph:

acceptable you could probably still celebrate a little bit this week. And then like next week really cut it out you know what I mean? Like and just cut out this this kind of stop just stop like the Christmas people not yet just wait just wait ages a different ways to maybe give you say Oh really? So Germany wasn't like that. What they celebrate stupid early like right now actually, they're celebrating it right now. Early people are suffering right now. Talk videos of people putting Christmas trees up.

Zac Saleski:

Oh, in the US they are but Germany. I was never there that

Murph:

long to that point. Okay. Oh, yeah, that's right. Because so seasons are differently. Okay.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah, usually I'd be back by September. Gotcha. So, even that, I mean, everyone I would

Murph:

say maybe it's a North American thing. I don't think it's really big in Canada, but you I know there are people in Canada that do it. So it's like, yeah, I wouldn't.

Zac Saleski:

Germans are more, they're more excited about just going out to those Christmas type of outings outside. They they want they want the glue vibe. They want all that stuff. They just want to fair, he's more so just I respect the fact that these people want to go outside in the cold, right? And just

Murph:

remember the leather guy we met when he was doing the Christmas market and like, like you see soon pictures. Man, it looks like it's freezing outside like under 30 degrees Fahrenheit, would you Fahrenheit here. 30 degrees Fahrenheit. So zero degrees Celsius. And they're like, everyone's out like it was crazy. And you could tell like bread phases, everything. They were cold as hell but they were having a blast. I did. I did one of those in Chicago, I think was the second year my brother was living there. We found a German festival. Christmas festival. There was awesome. Yeah. But yeah, just it's the

Zac Saleski:

suite we went to. If you guys want to look it up, look, type in Zac Saleski. On my YouTube page, we actually meet me at Murph went to Roscoe village and they have a very big kind of kind of an older village where a lot of historical stuff has happened. But they kind of rebuilt to where the first look like in 1800s It's really cool. But inside one on that street, they have a leather shop and really nice people. Really just just forgiving. We walked in there. One guy almost died at COVID. And then the other guy was like, I was in Germany once and so we got talking and Murphy was there now all the leather leather goods. He's like, Oh, this stuff's amazing.

Murph:

It was nice. Like, you're buying stuff made like those

Zac Saleski:

leather briefcase,

Murph:

dude. Oh, man, I had a reason for it. I would like working more corporate job I would have but like walking into a Chipotle restaurant being like, I'm gonna be auditing you guys employ a leather briefcase today. Oh, crap. Someone's getting fired. And I'm like, No, I was gonna be there. Someone's getting fired. Yeah, right. Yeah, no, it was it was a night like it's don't make that stuff anymore. That was nice. Like you feel bad. That's the stuff that needs support it like you need people in life and then unfortunately, well, you guys will see if you watch the video like they're all really old guys. Hi. So you're kinda like, who's gonna take this over when they're done? Like, they got a few years like they got year like 20 years left if they're lucky, like, yeah, like no one's taken that over when they're done mindsets like those trades are kind of going out the window right now no one wants to pick them up like it's, you

Zac Saleski:

see those in the small towns people are just those awesome people with those type of skills start to die out. Yeah, and not good. Gonna run into an issue. Yeah, couple

Murph:

generations to keep importing stuff, which is never that's never good, and be able to do some things here. But broken fingers, like everything was attackable when we get there.

Zac Saleski:

Oh, man, I was. I was hella late this week with all my Patreon stuff for my vlog channel. Way to go, man. So sorry about that. I show your people some love here. I do. I do. Just wanna say sorry. I still got to do that video. But I don't forgive. Obviously, Murph doesn't know. Everybody in the chat. Say The hell with you? Yeah. Oh, no, I love taking up a new role at the kind of the part time job I have at the supplement store. Basically, my boss was like, hey, I want to do some videos because we have so so many unique people come in, week in and week out. We should do like a story to kind of talk about some of the struggles in life. physical ailments, whatever. I was like, oh, sweet, let's do that. So

Murph:

go to your nearest supplement store for like, you know, just red shoes, diaries or something. Like

Zac Saleski:

I was like havens, that's fine. It's it's all good. Basically, it's, it's, we did it like we started like this little small series of people do extraordinary things. And that's kind of kind of how this grew out of it. And you know, out of that idea next, you know, he's like, Oh, this Oh, I got a video should do that. I was like, Oh, okay. Now I'm taking this on. Sorry. No, no, no, get paid to do that. I'm also to experience I just want to say thank you to a couple you guys.

Murph:

Okay. I don't know who can say thank you to Oh, yeah, nice. Yeah, yep. I got my chair. Yeah, birth guide

Zac Saleski:

chair. That's all from this direction. But work guy chair and his butt is oh,

Murph:

I stop it. Okay, sorry. I don't know what

Zac Saleski:

desk moves

Murph:

outside it. Okay. I start hitting buttons Am I gonna

Zac Saleski:

start punching the button thank you guys for all that. Thank you. Um, his tushy is cozy. Yep, all matters. Also, too, I want to segue I'm no I'm not a horror when I say this. We do have a patreon as well for

Murph:

now we kind of are Yeah, a little bit.

Zac Saleski:

We do have a patreon for the podcast really does help out. Honestly. It's probably more expensive to run a podcast you would think the vlog more expensive doing this fair. You know with YouTube. I never noticed this with YouTube it's it that's the distributor you can upload and then SEO distributor all on one. But then it's like for podcasting. You got a you got to upload it to one specific site. And then it's has an access to like, you know, Spotify, Apple. Google has to ship those things out to each so my man, basically Yeah, okay. It's kind of easy. I work so

Murph:

are middle woman. Sorry. One, of course.

Zac Saleski:

But that usually costs a little bit a month, so anything helps. And then you get to see Murph, do you know, a money dance every single time?

Murph:

Do I have to do that? No. Okay, thank you. I don't know when we'll see me dance. There's

Zac Saleski:

no patron right now. I

Murph:

don't wanna see me dance that's not a thing they want to do. I mean, I guess we're holding ourselves out so I guess I will if we get patrons but don't

Zac Saleski:

doubt you and Maple Ridge so dollar bills.

Murph:

It's even a podcast anymore. It's like a Howard Stern porno. Like what is this? Yeah, I didn't agree to this. I did not agree. Be like, chunk from Goonies shuffle shuffle with maple syrup all over me.

Zac Saleski:

Oh, truffle we got maple.

Murph:

Exactly. Oh, geez. Oh my gosh. It's too much syrup.

Zac Saleski:

Make a hail? Bah.

Murph:

Jeez. What would you have gone out this year then if you did go out for Halloween? Oh, God, what would you

Zac Saleski:

I don't know. I'm not a big not a big. I'm not really big on on the whole all that stuff. So it's like, even if I do dress up is going to be something that I want to do. No, I already do that. That was not fun. I was when I was in Iowa. For that one semester I was in. I dressed up as Bow Pollini the head coach of Nebraska it was a bad idea the dumb look on my face all the time.

Murph:

That's hilarious

Zac Saleski:

and then when I was at Miami I did a the Bane because one yeah you weren't there that year that one I saw shaved head I was just like bolt down be like oh my god

Murph:

is that the year that everyone did Bane? I think it was a Batman just

Zac Saleski:

you know that was that was like a year after okay, it's okay finally. You can do it. Yeah, I can do it. Everyone kinda like did their stuff already.

Murph:

Oh my gosh.

Zac Saleski:

I don't know. I don't know why guys. I think Rick and

Murph:

Morty Of course. Had to look over my shoulder. Yeah, go so much Rick and Morty.

Zac Saleski:

I don't know. I'm not I'm not big on that. That's good. That's why I know you did awful man but

Murph:

I did not go man. Or forbade man. very confused though. SpongeBob man that's our childhood right there.

Zac Saleski:

Wasn't really big. What? No,

Murph:

dude. Oh my gosh. I didn't I didn't have like slightly excited that he's like Spongebob has come back and like the Tick Tock mainframe and all that stuff like all

Zac Saleski:

these weird SpongeBob started come back but then people started bringing back your Mermaid Man and everybody it's the funniest thing.

Murph:

Oh, yeah, man mermaid. It's hilarious. See an article boy,

Zac Saleski:

I never I never really had cable too late. And even by that it was like spun off. So it was already out for I don't know four or five years since fair.

Murph:

Man started like you're still making I don't know if that'll ever stop. I thought they stop already. So they don't they're still going. They did. I don't follow through. I grew out of it. But maybe they

Zac Saleski:

did. I don't they just stop Arthur. Oh, well.

Murph:

What are they going this whole time? Yeah, that was one like we were really young. Yeah, that was like the 90s

Zac Saleski:

How was 90? Man six or seven for 30 something

Murph:

years? When Oh, sorry. Sorry. Bad math.

Zac Saleski:

45 No, no, no, no. Does probably about 20. To 25. Somewhere in there. Oh, quite a while.

Murph:

That's why I just I just feel old now. Yeah. can't grow moustache when I'm old. Wow. Holy

Zac Saleski:

crap. Baby Face

Murph:

Murphy is exactly back. Damn. Wow.

Zac Saleski:

Oh, there we go. We get to reminisce about about a second guessing our life. Right? It's great. We're

Murph:

not where I want to be. blini patrons now this is not where I want to be.

Zac Saleski:

Spice Girls want to do the dance. Am I right? Who's gonna cry? No.

Murph:

This is where I didn't see myself in 34.

Zac Saleski:

Boy. I was uh, every every other day or so me and Marvel seven tic TOCs to each other.

Murph:

Oh my gosh, way too many times that. That app ruins me. Done especially

Zac Saleski:

at night. Don't mess up as you go through on the on the scroll.

Murph:

Just so easy. When you're bored. Just pop it up. So easy. Yeah.

Zac Saleski:

For that, I found this. There was one time a dealer night of scrolling through and I see like this big chick. And she was just like, she was doing ASMR. But it wasn't like it was like the antithesis of ASMR where she's trying to be loud. Okay, and I was in bed and I was like, starting to like not awful, but I just hear this. I'm like, What the hell is this crap? And half the time these comments are just killing me. They're just apps they're just absolutely destroying me. And obviously the top comment on most these things, but this one just kill me. Somebody says like, Hey, chill. My girlfriend's on this on this app. I need you to chill out. That's great.

Murph:

That's it? That's it. That sounds like something legit. That is not a joke.

Zac Saleski:

No, it's It's such a funny like they use on every video. Okay,

Murph:

gotcha. I was gonna say I can't explain it. Yeah, I'm still kind of lost. I have no idea what ASMR is so Mike. Yeah.

Zac Saleski:

Oh, it's those people that go Hello guys. To be really quiet. I'm here today to do ASMR

Murph:

is this supposed to be like hot or something?

Zac Saleski:

They're supposed to be like really gentle. And then it's supposed to be supposed to like that. That feeling of relaxation is supposed to go down.

Murph:

Oh my god. I didn't actually start feeling relaxed a little bit. But I didn't realize like I thought was a sexual thing. Not like a

Zac Saleski:

some people take a sexually it's really. It's really? You know? I thought it was the weirdest thing in the world. When I first watched it last year. I was like, What the hell? This is crap. But then I start watching after two minutes. I'm like, Oh, I'm relax. I'm kind of tired. Oh, this is odd. Want to take a nap now?

Murph:

Oh, that's not where I see that conversation. No, no, it had to be going. I was like, Oh, are you about to admit this to you? Oh,

Zac Saleski:

geez. God Marvel was trying to take things sexual isn't what happens.

Murph:

I don't know. Like half the stuff on the internet is sexual based so I have no idea anymore. I don't I don't know what life is anymore. That's right. Gosh, that's hilarious

Zac Saleski:

but it just it just weird to me when you get don't have this crap I scroll through on tick tock just kill it's

Murph:

yeah

Zac Saleski:

Oh, Vine please come back. Yeah,

Murph:

that's pretty much it this is why, um, yeah, I think I've seen some tick tock videos pretty much admitting that

Zac Saleski:

Gary Vee, just tell everybody to go back to buy and don't try to create it.

Murph:

You know, he doesn't need more money to buy the Jets. So, no.

Zac Saleski:

What are you doing? If you would die in two seconds? Your Lord, wake up, right? Everyone's on the sidelines, and you're eating chips in your chair. Get your craft.

Murph:

That's a Gary Vee thing. That's funny. They gave you I don't know if you realize that people that work for you. Or the people are sitting on the sidelines eating chips, like everyone did, like you did, we would have no one.

Zac Saleski:

You're funny about that. I used to watch his stuff. So religiously. And then he's good.

Murph:

I'll give that I've fallen on tick tock. He's got some good stuff, I guess. Yeah, he's a good entrepreneur. I like it. He's got a he's got a good head for business and a good head for people. So I'll give him that

Zac Saleski:

really good with people. You really work with them one on one and kind of inspire them to be better. But I like this was like two or three years ago, I kind of first watched them. And I saw like some of those blogs he put out on YouTube was like, Oh, it's great. Yeah, I'm inspired. I can do whatever. I'm like, now I wonder if he's hiring. I'm just curious. And I talked about VaynerMedia is like all you got to have, you know, master's degree. That was like, so you could tell me that you can do anything you want in this life without schooling and this and that. And then you're not going to be about it. Man.

Murph:

Hell, I don't write hell out here. Actually, it's bad that you can like literally get a job at Google without a college degree as like a intern. Or like when I was called, was something I heard on Tik Tok. I think they're doing it now. Or it's apprenticeship. Okay, apprenticeships in Google. But basically, I think the idea is you will go back to college while working for them. Yeah. Which is like kind of a smart thing. But same time to like, yeah, like you, right? Like, you never know what type of talent someone has. Because they and but they just couldn't afford to go to school or like that, like,

Zac Saleski:

you will have a whole lot of those jobs anymore. Stuff that that allows you to kind of buys you time that kind of work through school, unless there's like those huge companies. I'll do oh my gosh, yeah. But it's very

Murph:

hard. But yes,

Zac Saleski:

it is weird. Nowadays you don't, which unfortunately,

Murph:

though, you kind of neat, like, our workforce kind of needs that. Like for example, Chipotle is primary people are cool while working is like we kind of need that. Whereas because like no one really wants to make a career out of working in a restaurant, like very rare true, like a mother minute, like now what brisket restaurant was facing, but I'm willing to admit, like, I don't want to do that. Like, I don't want to work out of a restaurant, whether it's anything, you know, and I mean, like even a little bit of retail I did that sucked. And I was like, I need to apply myself and figure things out. Because I don't want to do this rest of my life. At the same time. We need people that are willing to do it. So it's like, honestly, I'm kind of starting to feel like we should we start paying those people a little more just because like, yeah, we need more talented people. That stuff like

Zac Saleski:

I I've worked retail, and obviously it's a different,

Murph:

you still kind of do now. Technically, yeah.

Zac Saleski:

Those customers are good, though. They don't really want.

Murph:

That's what I'm saying. So that's, that's the kind of stuff we need more of you know, I mean, like

Zac Saleski:

you just working in GNC in the past, even now. I mean, it's I think I've dealt with more stupidity at GNC than anything else. Yeah, those those people were with customers that come in would be so just lost. And you try to help them. And they're just like, like, oh, no, I don't want to take steroids like bandwidth protein. Right? What do you think

Murph:

that's the thing that frustrates me more is like, if you go like when I go into something, and I have no idea what I'm looking for, and I need help from somebody, I listen to what they say, yeah. And then I make an informed decision based on what they're telling me. But it's funny. Now nowadays, people don't want to accept help. So they walk in having no idea what they're doing. You help them out that all of a sudden, yeah, all of a sudden, they don't want to stare, right? Like if you look in the back of it, nowhere does it say steroids. This is like like, yeah, like and like yeah, like it's crazy. Like people walk in and pretend like they know what they're doing. And I'm like, like, have you ever worked here before? Like you don't know what we don't know what we do here like they'll be like, the big O embryos were owned by McDonald's and like if you do research you're always never owned by McDonald's. We just benchmark that could dopa Siri like it just stupid stuff like that. It's so funny. And I think that's that would

Zac Saleski:

be hilarious. Qdoba reaches out be like, hey, sponsor. Like I don't know if you'll weird.

Murph:

I mean I mean, this is an after work thing for me. This is not sponsored by my work but important. Like Tom Murphy has no sociation no no offense I'm not trying to throw shade at obviously Qdoba does some good things but unfortunate their business model they are not succeeding right now like they need they're surviving but they're not succeeding

Zac Saleski:

at scratch that hothead burritos cheap to pull out but damn, it's good.

Murph:

I mean, you know you get what you pay for them. That's fine. That's like that's the other thing that annoys me I'm I'm fine with it. But obviously American standards are different than European standard. So it's all it's like when people go to like McDonald's and get a burger naugus burgers as good as a fine restaurant burger and I'm like, not really you're getting a you're getting a 90 Wait, no bragging 50 cent patty on a burger. That's been you know, grilled and left in a steamer. And you know, like, just like,

Zac Saleski:

You ever see those on Tik Tok? Those people like that work at different facets. Those are wild especially like, like I've my favorites. Probably Taco Bell. Sorry Murph,

Murph:

that one still scares me a little bit. Yeah, yeah. But once after I see them making it I was like No wonder why it scares me.

Zac Saleski:

But McDonald's was probably the worst because they're like, they're shown how they make the the McRib. And I'm like, white. Yes. What is that Patty? And I'm like,

Murph:

You don't ask questions. Literally. It's just comes frozen. You cook it, you leave it in a thing and they put sauce on it. It's bad.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah, it's literally like, it's pink. As you know, it's ground beef. And then they put the double in the sauce. So it can look like it's been, you know, it's barbecued and one. Like, peel back when I was growing up, it was is different where people are like, I don't want to eat that looks like crap. It's the same thing. Yeah. And now it's like, oh my God, when we give them a grip, the holy grail come from

Murph:

really writing or the one I saw was, the one I saw on Tik Tok was the guy's like, I'm going to work out every day until Taco Bell brings back the nacho fries. And I was like, yeah, no. And he he was like, I think he was like, 365 days in and I'm like, dude, congrats. You're actually living healthier. And you want to eat Nacho fries. Like, what? Like,

Zac Saleski:

was a Burger King? No, no, he was talking about those chicken fries is what it was. Yeah,

Murph:

they brought those back. Yeah, I remember cuz I actually had seven. I was like, weird. But

Zac Saleski:

I, I am going to eat this every day until Madonna's brings back their pizza right back when they had like, What the 80s

Murph:

Oh my gosh, they had that. I don't even think I ever had it. But

Zac Saleski:

that I think they had hotdogs. 1.2 a lot of

Murph:

things. They tried a lot of things. You know what? Speaking of which, did you see that lawsuit that they're stealing McDonald's for the ice cream machines being down. Somebody is finally doing it. Because finally honestly, doing a good reason I would go to McDonald's is like late night and they're the only ones open. Like for some ice cream. Like a big flurry sounds amazing. And like 90% of the time you drive the drive thru and just hear somebody or extra machines down. And I'm like, Alright, I need to drive away. And I remember seeing things online that basically they're saying, the employees don't want to do it. So they'll tell you that it's down because they don't want to work. They don't want to make it which I'm like, again, because I understand food jobs aren't sought after. But like at the end of the day, like you've taken this job. Like

Zac Saleski:

they'll do your job because what happens the parts is owned by only one company that's owned by Mickey D's. Yep. So to commission, the person to fix them is something like two grand an hour or something like that it's through the roof,

Murph:

which then is also hilarious. I think the state that started was California. And as much as California is a hot mess for a lot of things. That's what's also great about California is that if anything is inconvenient, they will sue the shit. And it is awesome. Because a lot of us will hear about it seriously. Seriously. They are they are that bro they're the My dad's a lawyer, bro. Like that's the that's the most annoying part is like myself. I'll just accept it and move on California. Like, oh, no, we're tired of this shit. You're getting sued. And that's how it works like Oh, man. Yeah, better than than lawyer bro. Oh, yeah, no, man. And it was the same for like, the same for California. Like they have worker worker laws that like if you're going to fire someone, you have to have their last check in hand. So if they get wind of it, they go on vacation. So and they get paid for that vacation. Oh, and then they come back and then they can get terminated. So they've just been paid for like two weeks before? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's bad. It's bad. Some. California is such a mess in some ways, but it's also so great in other ways. So it's like and obviously a lot of people are leaving it. So there's a lot of obviously taxes and crap. Yet CEOs living out of cars and stuff. It's crazy. But

Zac Saleski:

yeah, coming to California, right sleeping the call. Well, I don't remember. No, I said that Gavin Newsom. Okay, I

Murph:

don't know who that is. Last Name. Sounds familiar. But, yeah,

Zac Saleski:

Democrat. He's the one that captured

Murph:

this. He raised taxes. That's why all those people are leaving.

Zac Saleski:

Well he made was la he kept his winery open during COVID while everything else was shut down.

Murph:

You know, now many people go to wineries you can do social distancing on why

Zac Saleski:

he was having like a mess and gathered events. Oh, everything's in there. We're good. No, there's no COVID and wineries. These grapes are COVID free woman

Murph:

though Brown, Brown, the wood barrels suck up the COVID and they keep them and the wine kills the wine kills the alcohol from the wine kills the COVID Yo take a bottle of wine is douse yourself in it you got no more COVID A lot of work right yeah. Oh my gosh drink a little you know

Zac Saleski:

they work so my pores was it

Murph:

from oh that was it the Will Ferrell movie was it journey the center of the earth or whatever he made where he caught dinosaur pee and important he's gonna drink a little to attract the dinosaur instead. He's like, I'm pretty sure when I studied it this is how like what keep dinosaurs away. He started pouring it all over. Drink a little to get through the blood system. Hertz frequency highs feral. You're amazing. Let's get as much as it from him.

Zac Saleski:

Nice, nice. fondness right? What do you guys talk about?

Murph:

Frank the tank?

Zac Saleski:

Geez, nothing, right?

Murph:

No, absolutely. No.

Zac Saleski:

I did a podcast this week. In I thought I was gonna get a lot of pushback just by yourself.

Murph:

myself. Oh, you joined

Zac Saleski:

that? I yeah, I cheated on me. I didn't cheat the SPP beyond this thing. This is

Murph:

fine. Didn't ask me. It's fine. It was for football Murph good. Didn't ask me.

Zac Saleski:

Overseas No.

Murph:

You will know that. I will tell you everything.

Zac Saleski:

Secret Agent work. Exactly. Be

Murph:

really great kicker.

Zac Saleski:

Like good safety to win, relax. Angry. gets angry. It's over.

Murph:

Yeah, I forget that I can't run and I just run everywhere. So that's how it works. Guys, yeah. But then I'm really winded by the end of it. That's continued.

Zac Saleski:

So one of the guys who runs a podcast, mainly kind of focusing heavily on American football overseas, which I've been a part of last couple years. They they, he basically said, Hey, like, would you want to be a part of this? I was like, Yeah, whatever. It's a couple months back. And then like couple months later, they're like, there's some bay that happened overseas, which was like, well, they had some issues with imports living in some really bad conditions, and flats and whatnot. The flats had like mold and the Tablas is in terrible shape.

Murph:

That Chinese black mold that was hit in Florida for a while back.

Zac Saleski:

Alright, German molds very efficient fair. It happened to a guy or a couple of imports that were on like the, the the winning team, you know, in the league for Galaxy, so it's a big deal. Not to mention, it was the same guy, if you guys kind of follow that stuff that was on the Roessler. Panthers a years back. It's my first year overseas, where he got locked out. And there's a lot of issues there. So it's like, there's some hip issues with him and a couple other teams. I'm currently dealing with double edged sword like, alright, is it him? Or really is it situation is that messed up? I don't know what to think. So. It's really weird because I was on the podcast with one of the guys I used to coach a coach. This past year in Poland before all hell broke loose. Yeah. So it's like I honestly him and I get along, so it's very fluid. Good conversation. So him and I like when we get better than

Murph:

our conversations. I don't know. Oh, thank you. I was more of like a joke. You could say yes. Oh, that's fair. That's fair.

Zac Saleski:

We have deeper conversations, I think.

Murph:

Yeah, me about Yeah, about weird things. It's fine. I continue. Oh, Paul. You're sorry. Yeah, I'm not sure why. It's fine. It's fine. We're just gonna leave. Take the share with me. The fans gonna keep going.

Zac Saleski:

Here. All right. All right. tell you how

Murph:

this ASMR is as well as it works. I feel slightly turned on. Wow, look at that. Sorry, I had distract. I was quiet for too long. I continue to tell your story.

Zac Saleski:

Indeed. So I like these microphones. Background music was Doug

Murph:

Are you going anywhere near? Okay.

Zac Saleski:

But that was good conversation. But my whole thing is, is I'm like thinking myself the whole time. Like I know these Polish people are probably listening and like they're gonna be coming after me. You're gonna be like saying all kinds of crap.

Murph:

Please Polish mafia. So yeah, you're probably on the list.

Zac Saleski:

I swear. There is. I continue. There is bullsh mafia. Apparently I was in right in the middle of it, too. I had no idea. But now that luckily nothing really happened out of that. But it was a it's always interesting to be on different podcasts because you kind of see how things work, how they operate. I'm like, wow, they're more professional than us. Oh, well, you sit here and

Murph:

I call shenanigans sir. Very professional.

Zac Saleski:

Do you You see the structure of this blog you see

Murph:

this mustache that I'm trying to grow? We're very professional like Tom Selleck over here. Fuck you San Diego. Exactly. Exactly.

Zac Saleski:

But just it just fascinated me because I'm like, when you're on a different podcast we're like Alright guys we're gonna talk about this and I'm probably got a kind of heading in this direction then you know you can do what you want.

Murph:

All right, cool. Nice

Zac Saleski:

fun whenever like my podcast was do where the hell we want Oh, well

Murph:

that works so non scripted. Exactly. Which I'm sure they can figure out with all these random comments and things we go down. Yeah,

Zac Saleski:

we just piggyback exactly Murph if you know anything about Murphy likes to jump on your back and go on for piggyback ride all good conversation. Then you got poking with the stick and haven't talked about Canada

Murph:

partially true.

Zac Saleski:

Talking about Canada

Murph:

Alright, hockey maple. Got David solid bridges.

Zac Saleski:

Deteriorating bridges ever structure following my good.

Murph:

Yeah, yeah, that's it. I'm gonna I don't even know why I'm here. You already got you got me in a box here. I don't really know. Check them all who ended podcasts? He checked it all the fans are happy.

Zac Saleski:

I don't know why people listen this thing every week. It's the same like he wants a new one coming out.

Murph:

I mean, you should more say Hey, we love it. Thank you guys for supporting us but the same time to what the fuck are you doing to listen?

Zac Saleski:

Like, what? Why is it entertaining? There's no value. I'm

Murph:

here. I'm bored. Half the time. I don't even know. I'm just saying shit. We've had to drink heavily for this stuff.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah, that's also another question. Like, why do they have multiple cans of liquor? I was like, because when we get done with one and go to the next

Murph:

Oh, yes, America, we don't Yeah, we don't stop. It's just like if we could mainline that in the eye and in the IV and IV like we would do it like that's how it would go. Right? Go. We are not alcoholics. Let's just clarify that real quick. I can function without alcohol. But I'm my

Zac Saleski:

dish. You know,

Murph:

I like to think of my funniest when I've had a few alcoholic beverages. I'm sorry, I keep cutting you off. Are you were you done with that cheating podcast that you cheat on me with? Or were with that?

Zac Saleski:

Well, why you know, auntie, Auntie in your fancy? V.

Murph:

That's not what that means. No, no. Okay, I think we're I think we're wrong there. Now I'm just,

Zac Saleski:

I'm just I'm saying it's, it's really fun to be on other podcasts and talk about different things. See if you ever get invited onto like a Canadian podcast or an NHL podcast, which I'm surprised you haven't been?

Murph:

Oh, I'm nobody and then ah, oh world that's like, No, I've never happened. Well, and we gotta have a good night NHL players, they can invite brothers of NHL players that actually played in the NHL like they can they can do all that I'm like low on the totem pole. Actually might even be the ground of the totem pole is buried in the back part of the total bowl. I mean, you know, we have a

Zac Saleski:

distinct perspective,

Murph:

because we got Indian caste system. I'm like real like I'm below the lepers like, I think I'm really below in the NHL. Whoa, you know, Happy Diwali. But yeah. Very little one that.

Zac Saleski:

I mean, you have an interesting perspective, because like, it's not just are your brothers in it, but then your dad's in it. Okay, like so you have kind of like a bloodline there. It's like you have a

Murph:

fortunately, unfortunately, that's not like, there's another bloodline that they've coached and played the Sutter bloodline that those guys like, I don't think the NHL has ever not existed. Well, one of the minute it's weird guy. Yeah, Breeden. It's crazy. Got farms. Oh, yeah. Now, what's there there from British Columbia? Yes, first won't be I think, no, Alberta, Alberta. And Alberta. It's a lot of like farm country. So man, they just have I mean, I could be wrong. This is what I've been told is that they just have kids and farm that's pretty much all they do. So they have like the senator from has like six sons, and all of them have played in the NHL, if you have them coach now. And then now their kids are playing in the NHL cheese. Yeah, it's crazy. It's really powerful. So most likely, if you hear Sutter in the NHL, it's related to one of them.

Zac Saleski:

And I also have a connection, but I have no knowledge. That's it did

Murph:

some research on Don Saleski Don big Burt's Leschi Here you go part of the process. Horrible nickname. I know the pretty bad 60s 70s 70s 70s until the 70s were different. Like was lightly Yeah, a big one was a tough name, but I didn't know any street

Zac Saleski:

because he had like bushy hair and like a big nose. Gotcha. So they call them big bird. And then he that group during that time was just so nasty, that he he and him getting arrested because he'd been a fan in the stands because I think he he like hit a guy into the glass the glass shattered and someone In the like in the crowd like said something a woman say punched in the face to

Murph:

like jeez a hockey was different back then a lot more fighting

Zac Saleski:

a lot more group would just take anybody yeah

Murph:

yeah a lot more like Slap Shot nowadays not so much but back then is a lot like slap shot

Zac Saleski:

I missed that though when she has more that grit no even with soccer like it's kind of the same thing to

Murph:

soccer was tough at

Zac Saleski:

one point she yeah you get you get some Irish in there and they would

Murph:

actually know what that grass yeah that makes sense you're right they would let they let elbows go with things like that. Yeah good point forgot about that. That's why the English they played like that little rougher. Yeah.

Zac Saleski:

It just those those two sports I wish were kind of like I don't know. It seems like a lot of sports kind of go back into time a little bit. I wish that was kind of the case for hockey and soccer. It's like at least I want to see some grit I want to see a little bit physicality. But no,

Murph:

I think for D I think like everything things repeat themselves so I think for now it's like hockey is going that direction but they'll go back to their roots like eventually people love seeing fighting people love seeing that like that's they'll go back to like they'll happen

Zac Saleski:

football it's probably gonna take their time. Yep see that for a while? No.

Murph:

I can't even imagine now like football is my fortunately like football was meant to be like gladiators killing each other like it's I don't I don't see that ever getting to a yeah, there's more positions more protected than others. But at the end of the day, guys kill themselves like fish.

Zac Saleski:

As bad as you think nowadays is more protected. It's fair. Me Murph. and I were kind of in that kind of right in that sweet spot where things were kind of the same, like the traditional developing more into because this is like 2010 or 11 concussion stuffs are coming out now. So we graduated from high school in oh nine that's when things were kind of transitioning into the you were age. Yeah. Protection of player pretty

Murph:

much all sports. Yeah, I went from like, oh, you know, you can stand up you can skate. You know, who cares if you got a concussion to now it's like, your babies just sit this one out for a little bit like yeah, it's it's slick. What do I know? I know, lots of people that by mid High School, their careers were pretty much done because I just kept getting concussions. So it was like, Yeah, I was just geez, yeah. Oh, well, but in all fairness, they didn't have the size to do what they were doing. They are playing too tough for being too small. And you're like, yeah, that's yeah.

Zac Saleski:

What's uh, what's the plan for the month? What's going on?

Murph:

Great question. Um, well, as I already went on my living, right as I already went on my hockey family Thanksgivings. Right? Crazy. No, not really. So unfortunately, a no one has games on Thanksgiving, and then a child believe they give that time off. But because of like in the NHL, for most Canadians Thanksgivings in October, just not really a big holiday. So like, obviously, it's big for my family, because like, we still love hanging out together. So we tried to but most of the time, someone ends up missing it, whether it's my brother or my dad, my sister's a nurse. So sometimes she has to miss it. So I think this year, my mom will be in New York for see my dad. So I might try and get up there and see them for Thanksgiving. And then Conor will be coming into play the Rangers the first weekend of December. So I might try and like, take the next week off and just kind of or work from New York, because I can kind of work remotely right now my new job. So try and do that for three days, and then take the next two days off or something, whatever. My boss is okay, with, hopefully, fingers crossed. But that's kind of what I'm hoping for. So yeah, so we'll so I will try and do that for Thanksgiving. Other than that, right now. Nothing really crazy. We're, the Rangers come to Columbus Saturday, so a week from a week from yesterday. So I'll be going to a blue jackets Rangers game, which, unfortunately, unfortunately, I don't get free blue jacket tickets, because my, my dad's not related to them anymore. But when my dad comes into town, he could usually get a hookup to like get some cheap tickets or he'd use your buy some tickets so we could go and then yeah, that'll that'll kind of really be about it. I want to try and get to New York because I mean, New York, Chicago, but there's something's gonna happen with work right now. A lot of things going on. So fortunately, my job when the holidays come around, there's a lot more theft. So there's a lot more things for me to look into and people to investigate and all that you're in that

Zac Saleski:

sweet spot. I know working in GNC it was kind of about this time, within like the next week or two, it's gonna be really bad. Yeah, if you were like, Alright, I got people stealing using fake coupons and all kinds of crap.

Murph:

For me, it's mostly internal. So I don't focus on external. I mostly focus on internal. So it's like, we still have a lot of things that people kind of put their hands on. So it's like, there's money missing. There's product missing. There's this or that which takes a lot Have you if you do feel bad at the holiday season, some of these people are, you know, making above minimum wage and putting some really bad situations. So they got to do this stuff but the end of the day, unfortunately, I have a job I have to do. Like, you know, I got to figure it out. I got to solve it and give my best opinion so it's like I could say it's easier when they want to lie to me and stuff like that happens I don't feel sorry for them but in the people that like work with me and are actually honest, and like really nice about it, like, I feel bad for them. But it is what it is. So that will kick in which usually means I'm very busy soon. And then mostly though, I think I told you it's the holidays Christmas season that gets really busy. My family is really big in the NHL, usually get Christmas Eve and Christmas day off, which is almost unheard of to have like two days randomly off. Yeah, cuz only All Star break. You get a week off. So this year is the Olympic break, which is like two weeks. But yeah, be fair.

Zac Saleski:

That's like the only time that Murph gets with his family is usually Christmas. And then he might be having like half the people there on Thanksgiving.

Murph:

Yeah. So that's like, yeah, like to

Zac Saleski:

say the Murph Yeah. And go do his thing. Because that's

Murph:

like, that's literally it's literally everyone so Christmas, it's my brother, my dad. And then of course, my mom, my sister, we can usually make that work. Yeah. Whereas Yeah, Thanksgiving. It's like one of us is working. I had to miss it once like it. It happens. Yeah, like it's true. It's just it's it's a big holiday for us, but not as big as other Americans who like travel everywhere and do all that because they say they send us what Thanksgiving is the big time that people spend with their family than Christmas. People don't always traveling Christmas to see families mostly Thanksgiving.

Zac Saleski:

So yeah, yeah. Because like, Thanksgiving kind of like, as we're like, everyone respects it here. Yeah. So it's like they always kind of give you ample amount of time off to go back home. But yeah, Christmas. It's like okay, yeah, like you can go home for Christmas. But then you got to be here like the next day. So some

Murph:

people were like, I don't even get Christmas Eve off.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah, sometimes I got to work on that day Christmas off and then work the next day or the day after.

Murph:

I think it says Christmas was considered a religious thing. So that's why they try not to give it to off now because like for like Ramadan, all that they don't give that time off for that. So it's like, you got to be careful the favoritism you show. Whereas like Thanksgiving is a non partisan holiday. Well, I shouldn't say that. Yeah, it's just not a religious holiday. So that's why there can kind of give that off a little more.

Zac Saleski:

She's weird because like used to be those holidays like as a kid, there's nothing that'll be open now. It's like half the stuff is open. Oh, yeah. I feel bad. Feel bad. That's that's that's where Yeah, exactly. That's kind of like where I feel most awful. Like you start looking around and you're like people are working on like, mams go home, right? Show you on the open up this place just for us, man.

Murph:

And there's I mean, Black Friday is different day after Thanksgiving. That's obviously gets really busy for people preparing for Christmas shopping.

Zac Saleski:

That is our stampede days where we stomp all over people yes to get

Murph:

our but what I what I like that, man, right? Like though that Chipotle does better as at least on the day of Thanksgiving. They close early. That's only half day. Yeah. Which is good. Because at the end of the day, like no one's going out after one o'clock on Thanksgiving as you're preparing meals and you're done by then and you're gonna stay in watch football and eat

Zac Saleski:

kind of things queuing it's the same thing as what I do every other day.

Murph:

We're supposed to eat really nice all Thanksgiving.

Zac Saleski:

Same thing. Alright, so I do that like every weekend you know you eat a lot and you go watch it

Murph:

all I don't get a nice prepared turkey every day. So it's either Christmas turkey guy either, so it's like cheese. What are you I thought your American cheese.

Zac Saleski:

Just give me a bacon wrap turkey. cheese inside baby.

Murph:

That's very American. Yeah. Now how about you? What are your plans?

Zac Saleski:

Oh, you know roughly the same goals. I want. Things.

Murph:

Still things.

Zac Saleski:

Honestly, tell me the same thing is what? I'm going to edit my little butt off. There you go. And then hope to little baby Jesus. Maybe I can sign with a nice nice team this year. There you go. I will see

Murph:

once go back to Europe and start coaching football.

Zac Saleski:

Kind of getting the itch again. No over

Murph:

the like a cream for that. Ah

Zac Saleski:

gotcha. Oh, so think they make a cream for that.

Murph:

Oh, god. Yeah. Haha. Yes. Cod. Musta helped

Zac Saleski:

someone get some Nair wiped out a mustache. work too. Well, yeah, I

Murph:

don't work too. Yeah. Oh,

Zac Saleski:

no, I'm just still talking to some teams and figuring out where I want to go. Being more picking up in overseas now.

Murph:

Oh, be my veteran now. Yeah, yeah. When

Zac Saleski:

you get over like the two or three year hump, it's too big deal. So I'm going my fifth

Murph:

and they were specific you want to go?

Zac Saleski:

Honestly Germany's number one. Germany's definitely number one. anywhere in the elf, it's kind of where I'm sitting. So the new NFL year, essentially, that's kind of where I want to be. Unless there's, I don't know, I'm kind of like a weird soccer coach unless I see a project where a team is putting money into a team. I'm like, okay, I can I can work with that. But you don't see that hole anymore because of elf popping up. But it's kind of where Vatican, Germany has got has got my heart. I tell you why you go there. Once you're you or sold. I saw

Murph:

was what is moving there, Marriott love God, that's all gone. It's high on my list to go there. So that's fair. Now for kosher anything just to travel. So I always wonder though, why other teams maybe don't take the stance of develop good play? Like, will they do it like soccer, like develop good players that maybe the elf teams will buy those players off them?

Zac Saleski:

Well, now they're starting to realize I'm not sure as every league, but no Poland, they started introducing this new rule where if you're going to buy a player who's played an X amount of years at the senior level, then you have to pay a transfer fee. So now they're starting to introduce that soccer mindset where you have to pay a transfer fee. And then so you can take that, that money and reinvest it back into the club, which is cool like that. So it's now not every country is doing that. But I think once they understand, okay, we can start doing this, we make some money off of it, then that's where the TV Congress can come in. And

Murph:

that's the problem though, with the F League. We'll agree to that. Because obviously, they might just say, well, never buying Poland players. Like it'll just like that. Exactly. You need all those lower leagues to come together and be like, we can force this what's gonna

Zac Saleski:

happen to you got players too, he's gonna be like, Well, I'm gonna resign a new deal, because then I'll just go over here. Yeah, it's a bigger club bigger stage to hell with it. Yeah. Which I mean, it's, every every job I go into. My first concern is alright, how can where we level wise, how can I develop the younger guys, so when I do leave, that can still kind of manage to be decent. But a lot of teams, for some reason, they just don't believe in that. They're like, Alright, let's go by, you know, European talent, American talent, and then hope. You know, it comes together, it all comes together. And then, you know, the hell with long term stuff. Because some some countries don't believe in that. But Germany does. Austria really puts a lot of money into the US. But it's really, that's cool. Yeah, that's, that's kind of the focus. Who knows what's gonna happen? I mean, elf has kind of moved everything back. They probably won't even start recruiting till later, but I think they're starting to a little bit right now. But I think they should start doing like after the new year. Okay. And then the rest of the leagues are probably I think most of them are recruiting right now. So just so weird. A lot of domestic coaches been, you know, head coaches now. A lot of players that typically would go GFL now they're going elf. So the rest of the league kind of being screwed. They're like, what do we do? There's not a whole lot of talent. Gotcha leftover. Weird. But this is sometimes eight. It is on Murph. You and your little Canadian but it's fun. But wow, nice. Nice. We did it.

Murph:

We did it. I don't know how we keep doing it every week, every week, but how can we do? Just ditch our listeners for no reason? Like oh my god. Oh, god, it's disgusting. But I can't turn it off.

Zac Saleski:

Murph:

Zac Saleski:

Oh, what a week. Hopefully we will have more coming out the next few weeks. Should be able to. Yeah, Murph. Murphy always has an interesting, interesting things to say. Try to really get more Canadians on our side this time?

Murph:

Probably not. No, probably not. We'll just maybe we'll just start eating some Canadian candy or something in front of them. Just do like Canada Sox beers, Maple cookie.

Zac Saleski:
