Oh, God could tell you Bourbon Barrel peppermint Porter. So Kentucky Bourbon Barrel ale. In general. You can have it. Apparently chocoholics, but if you can have it, you should drink it. This thing will sneak up on you when you're done. Like you'll be sitting there thinking you're having a good time. Next thing you know, you're drunk. So yeah, definitely drunk. They only serve for you probably only need three. So yes, it's yeah, that's all. That's all we need. Exactly. A little bit of bourbon, little bit of beer. These things are so dangerous because they're like, they're slightly filling, but they're like, the taste is so good. And then, you know, next year No, you're down. One or two. And you're like, oh, yeah, we're done. We're done. It's honestly bites you pretty much like any dessert. You know, you're thinking you're done.

Cool, cool, dude, he I grew up with him in Missouri and I've been trying to get him out to Ohio for years and years but his girlfriend essentially who he's known for lemonade for maybe four or five years now. She's kind of been she has family and Cincinnati and Cleveland so Ohio Yeah, it's it's clumsy sits right in the middle. So they usually don't go if they don't do go through Columbus. It's like, oh, hey, we're going through it. Hi, bye. But then don't normally say hi to me. Or I'm usually over so

Murph: 6:13

so hold on. You should say real quick though. They don't know the geography of Ohio. You pretty much have to drive to the Columbus do you have to clean those? Yeah, he's like you don't go around it like you have to go through it. So they are going through Columbus when they make these trails are

Zac Saleski: 6:25

Zac Saleski: 10:55

I just remember like, as a kid, like elementary school, someone would be like, well, you know, that's a very appropriate timing. I'm like, why would you say good timing or something? about it? Just weird.

Murph: 11:08

We'd like to sound eloquent, Zack. That's how you do it. That's

Zac Saleski: 11:11

The worst part is that's like, like, there's a real story. It's like how porns made. There's your problem? probably fine. That's a Hi, I am phatic f2 50s a real truck.

Zac Saleski: 11:55

I am fascinated by like voiceover actors from like the, from the 90s. Because like they're so like, there's just so deep.

Murph: 12:04

There's so deep. My mom's calling and should be okay. Okay. Hey, Rob. I

Zac Saleski: 12:08

love you. Right? Yeah,

Murph: 12:09

yeah. Why don't you listen? Alright,

Zac Saleski: 12:11

I think it's your boy though.

Murph: 12:12

I'll probably have to step aside and be the quarterback to pick on the voicemail but oh, no, no, we were talking about Christmas gifts. So that's probably what you're talking about. Anyway, continue continue. Well, too late night night. Mommy. Elderly should be asleep right now.

Zac Saleski: 12:24

It's 947 Go to bed. Right. David Murphy Rooney. Sorry. I'm

Murph: 12:29

so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Zac Saleski: 12:30

You call your mom back. Like stop it. And hang

Murph: 12:33

up. Zach's on a roll. Thanks. Up Next on Roll talking about pulling things out of themselves. And ftu 50s. Yeah, no. And you said the voiceovers. Oh, yeah.

Zac Saleski: 12:41

There we go. There we go. Yeah,

Murph: 12:42

I'm not that stupid. I'm listening. I don't know how that rude. You're talking about voiceovers from the 90s. It doesn't get like they're like jazz hands. Like

Unknown: 12:52

it's about pulling stuff out of your book. That's what you're that's what?

Murph: 12:55

That's what you were talking about. Yes. You talked about that. And then you somehow transitioned into voiceovers from the 90s that I'm like, Oh, my voiceover for the 90s. Let me just quickly text. Nom, get

Zac Saleski: 13:07

me out of here. Right. Like,

Murph: 13:09

I don't think I've ever heard someone be like voiceover from the 90s. You know, it was a really good thing that contributed to the movie society and change the whole aspect of film culture was voiceovers from the 90s. I'm

Zac Saleski: 13:21

just saying. If you look at the old commercials, you get those deep gurgly voices especially like the we still have

Murph: 13:27

it. Yeah, we do. Not as the one guy that's from the one guy Glowacki and all that. He voiceovers almost everything now Yeah, the one guy

Unknown: 13:36

he said like five back in the day so like, did we did you don't Okay, can

Zac Saleski: 13:39

you name them? Yeah, sure. Okay, let's go. Yeah, exactly, mister. You big deal. You gave a name who they are. Like I said, they're probably computer generated back then. We had computers in the 90s early. Yeah, we deal with the voice. You know, how do you know that? Can you prove that to me? Mojo sign up. Get your mojo. Don't use Mojo. Mojo I will use Mojo. You can pull out the Mojo car Darius.

Murph: 14:06

I just played that card. It is a reversal card. I got that in my back pocket. He will look it up and he will prove you wrong.

Zac Saleski: 14:14

All right. Got a whole country Germans behind me. That's true.

Murph: 14:17

I don't think I don't think the Germans care that much about this 90 stuff though. I

Unknown: 14:21

know. What does you mean? We just the German accent?

Murph: 14:24

What? Sorry, German, sorry, Germans. I just gotta say the Germans are more worried about the Berlin Wall in the 90s they didn't care about voiceover stopped true. Saying they had David Hasselhoff they didn't need voiceovers.

Zac Saleski: 14:36

You bring shame to your houses. Ah.

Murph: 14:39

Oh, oh man, even though nothing will ever compare are we got off track again. But I'll quickly say nothing ever compared. When was it dirt Lewinsky said how he had played David Hasselhoff songs while he shoot free throws myself down. I'm not sure if it was Conan, or some late night host was like so this is what he's picturing. It was like David Hasselhoff flying through a sky like singing was the funniest thing I've ever seen. was so good and like, yeah, you know, that calmed me down too.

Zac Saleski: 15:07

I remember growing up, it's probably,

Murph: 15:10

I'm sorry. Yeah,

Zac Saleski: 15:12

I was probably maybe a teenager remember, I stayed up really late. I'm not sure if it was you or somebody else, but I remember watching TV. It was like this old series of like, these nuns flying through the air. Oh my gosh, what it was the most scariest thing I've ever seen in my life. And like, it was an actual TV show where they're just flying through the air and they're like, helping kids with their problems and kind of give him you know, guidance and whatnot. It was a it was wasn't like, like a per se a Christian show, but it was just kind of teetering on that but it was the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

Murph: 15:44

So my question is, is we're doing this on a computer. Why haven't we Googled this so I can see what this looks like. Like, I know it was texting but I was paying attention. I probably have a Murph so I want to see nuns flying in the air helping Cal people with their problems. Well, while you're looking that up, it kind of almost reminds me of Did you ever see the YouTube video of Don Cheadle playing Captain America? Yeah, that will always be one of my favorites. Everyone's a tree. Oh my god. Why am I like It's like Mary Poppins, but without the umbrella word hats. Weird hats. It's like like what? What do they call those bonds? Oh

Unknown: 16:19

god.

Murph: 16:20

Oh my god. When I saw the bond it looks like an airplane. Wait. That it's a flying No, no, no, that woman she looks at some of this really famous especially as an older character now Sally Fields Oh my gosh. Feel what the day was oh, that's not her. Oh yes, she probably dead by now.

Zac Saleski: 16:42

I remember seeing this like what a

Murph: 16:44

where's this in Mexico? What

Unknown: 16:46

is it that was that horrified?

Murph: 16:49

Okay, why their face is so weird looking.

Zac Saleski: 16:51

Because the hats man the hats are weird.

Murph: 16:53

Oh my The red scarf tied. Oh my gosh, we should bring those back. Oh my god. I totally wanna bring those back now. Yeah, this is your that's that's a big none. That's Oh, work on your take off if you guys ever good chance, sir. That's how I feel.

Zac Saleski: 17:08

Oh my god. That was her. Oh, that's incredible. Yeah, that's her. Yo that

Murph: 17:13

is oh my gosh, I don't know why I got so excited seeing her but that I'm not gonna

Zac Saleski: 17:17

lie I really feel younger looks Oh, I would definitely like

Murph: 17:21

that. Oh, for sure. It's in California. What does that little like Alcatraz they're

Zac Saleski: 17:26

all they got to help someone's problems.

Murph: 17:29

Arbitrage flying nuns that's why you couldn't escape.

Zac Saleski: 17:32

Two o'clock you got the other flying night coming through?

Murph: 17:35

Let's see when When did you see this? How did this come up? Oh, man.

Zac Saleski: 17:38

I I want to I may have been in Missouri. I was at Eric's house like sleeping over and then I I think we were up at like one or 2am And then I just saw it like this was on late on dish or something.

Murph: 17:51

Most people put on Skinemax you guys are watching.

Zac Saleski: 17:54

Well, I think I think one of the things you're watching was over then those

Murph: 17:57

young boys when they reach a certain age or things like that. On flying night, man. We

Zac Saleski: 18:03

were weird. Like, at that age. We're not I mean,

Murph: 18:05

every I feel like every teenage boys weird when I look back on a lot of things. I'm like, Yeah, we were worried as fuck. But yeah,

Zac Saleski: 18:11

but it's but seeing that like that lane. I was like, What the hell is this?

Murph: 18:15

larious and the funniest part too, is it's like, I sound stupid, but it's not even like, doesn't even look like normal flying like they're just it's weird. You know what I mean? Like, what do you like, nowadays? Like, yeah, when you see superhero movies are like, okay, it makes sense that they're flying. Now you see that? They're like, they're just they're like,

Zac Saleski: 18:35

Oh, God, how do we tie that into Christmas now? Wow, church Christmas there. Yeah,

Murph: 18:39

there we go. Catholic. Yeah, no, Jesus birthday. There we go. We're we got it. A little

Zac Saleski: 18:43

five pound eight ounce baby Jesus. We're

Murph: 18:45

in a tuxedo this. Yep. No. Well, I guess we will. Yeah. So holidays. Yeah, exciting. stuff. Yep. You know, we will be I don't know if people are waiting patiently for it. But I know Zack said we will be doing the video and posting the German candy reaction. Yeah. Probably just before Christmas. Yeah, we are pumped. Zach gave me a little pre research into the candy. So thank you so much. Again, for those I'm paying you either choice for this. Sorry, folks. Try to remember the name again. I'm horrible names. Sometimes I forget yours. So yeah, pretty pumped about that. Look forward to that. And next week, and I think we'll probably hopefully we'll be able to do one more podcast before then. Definitely. So

Zac Saleski: 19:28

this is one reason why we're doing this because Murph has a lot of extracurricular activities this weekend. Yes. Lots of drinking.

Murph: 19:35

Yes, I'm doing an ugly sweater bark roll. I will definitely send Zach a picture so you can post it. Yeah. The sweater is definitely a little TV Ma. But I did. I did get approved for my girlfriend. She's willing to be seen with me wearing it after hours. I don't even know why I've literally had to get a She didn't ask me for it. But I was like, Hey, let me get approval on this real quick because it's a little bit of a mature humor. And she was like there's gonna be no kids there. So who like really cares? And I'm like, that's a very good point. So, yeah, so I'll be doing that on Saturday. And most likely, I'll be too hungover on Sunday to do our usual podcast thing. So I'll probably come by, yeah, in the middle of the week. Since most of the besides work, mostly extracurricular stuff stops because of the holidays. So I don't do it for then. So yeah, so that will be looking forward to that. That will be fun.

Zac Saleski: 20:26

So doing what we're doing with your family then.

Murph: 20:29

Unfortunately, yeah, I guess people want to know, unfortunately, with NHL hockey. This is prime time for winter sports, because football is pretty much kind of on its way out. Like you're getting near the end of the season. You guys only have what is only like two weeks left for three weeks left. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So many. Wow. Yeah. So I'm saying and like so college football is done, which is really big here. But now NFL is almost done. So this is like prime time for basketball and hockey. So unfortunately for NHL players, they only get about two days off. So my brother will be in I think my dad to know, my dad will fly in. I think the day before Christmas Eve My brother will fly in the morning of and then we don't know grandkids yet for anyone. So it's just me my brother and sister. So we all sleep at our childhood home with obviously, our parents to live in. And then we'll wake up Christmas Day. Now we have more of the you know, I still run down in my onesie and pretend like Santa is there. Now I don't we now have more adult Christmas and drink heavily now we also don't do that either.

Zac Saleski: 21:34

But as far as when we're Where's onesie as the little barn door in the back. I leave that thing. Oh, I get high. Gotta get some air in there. But geez fly big man. Exactly. And it's got the foot thing. So don't worry about putting on socks. I never do that again. I am that is a luxury no one knows about exactly. Especially my

Murph: 21:49

big feet. Don't ever. I don't ever find ones He's big enough for that kind of to stitch like two of them together.

Zac Saleski: 21:56

Dig me there with you. That's all

Murph: 22:01

this is what our friendship was built on. Don't pretend like it isn't anything.

Unknown: 22:05

Why won't you look?

Murph: 22:08

Now but I think the one big family tradition that we usually have is I've always was jealous of families that had really big traditions of like, so I had one co worker that said like, I think it's a French thing. Well, they'll put like a like a, like a orange or a cutie in their stocking. Oh, it's like a very big Europe thing.

Zac Saleski: 22:27

Yeah, some some countries will do that. Yeah,

Murph: 22:30

we have never done anything like that. Even though we have family that's like fresh off the boat Irish. We don't have any of those traditions in our family. So the only big one we have is like a potato. Right? Exactly. The kind of funny joke about that but yeah.

Unknown: 22:49

Oh no.

Murph: 22:49

Yes. Why do you think the Irish don't like playing Hot potato? Like I heard that one tick tock. Anyway, yeah, you're welcome. But I keep digressing. So the biggest thing and people are like, Oh my god, they probably NHL players do this amazing thing like a hockey game or something? No, my mom makes sticky buns we call them so I think it's like monkey bread or pull apart bread. Some people call

Zac Saleski: 23:13

and you say but it's amazing about your mom's like,

Murph: 23:16

what do you want to say about my mom?

Zac Saleski: 23:19

Would I've ever gone over to Merce place and like his mom would put out like a during this is a Christmas season, she put out a spread of just just a bunch of candy. And I was like, Well, yeah, I mean, you got the with the peppermint tree bark. And

Murph: 23:33

so yeah, so yeah, we're I'm a huge peppermint fan. My peppermint bitch. I love it. So like the peppermint mocha stuff. So peppermint bark, which is basically candy cane they crush up and they sprinkle it on top of white chocolate and dark chocolate. You know, I love that little bit of sugary and peppermint with the chocolates. Amazing. And yeah, my mom is uh, you know, she's always had to be a big entertainer because again, when you sometimes have hockey royalty coming to the house, you gotta be able to put up a spread so she just got used to whenever anyone comes over she puts on the spreads like Zack said it'd be the peppermint bark. She makes really great sugar cookies. So you know we do that for any Canadian fans on there. We love Robin Hood flour. I know that sounds dumb but I kid you not. You bake. You compare, bake sugar cookie with Robin Hood flour and then bake a sugar cookie with any other flour from the US. You will notice the difference like that is the secret. Oh my god Robin Hood flour you can only get in Canada. It's amazing. I've actually looked into getting an order to bring it over here because it's so good. I know it sounds weird but it just works that way. So like yeah sugar cookies. Were also big with like, what would it be like the honey glaze peanuts or whatever peanuts? They have a little bit of sugar on the outside like a honey glaze. I can't describe it but basically people are like yeah, yeah, yeah, so basically people are like, Oh my God, you're such a fat American like yeah, no during the holidays. Yeah, we are like we go all

Zac Saleski: 24:54

Christmas for like, for merps houses like it's huge. It's just Yeah, it's Literally like it's this big old thing of just, just goodies all over the place. It's just a big ol platter and they just have just things kind of lined up. And whenever I went, I used to go over, you know, Merce musicologist how much he was like,

Unknown: 25:13

Geez, he's a lot, all

Murph: 25:16

the funny and kind of sad part those people would think then, like we'd have but in my 30 years of existence on this on this earth, I think only two Christmases, we've had family come and visit us. So most of the time, we have all this food, and it's just my, my brother, my sister, me, and then my mum and dad. And then I can only remember one Christmas, but I think there might have been a second one that we will go back to Canada. But the The trouble is, as I would tell, Zach is the NHL, you only get two days off. So I digress. So basically, they will come in Christmas eve of the day before Christmas Eve, they get Christmas off. And then they usually have to go back the day after because they're going right back into practice. So for a while the players union which there's a players union, I think there's one the NFL to the actual, they have one for their rights, was finally kind of worked on things. But now the rule is like, they only get like, three days off, and they get back into practice. So a lot of teams are like that third day you're practicing. So you got to get back early and get adjusted and get ready because sometimes that practice is like, early in the morning to make sure that you came back and that you're not like, unfortunately, you can look into some hockey players. You know, biographies, and I don't want to say alcoholism and drugs is like a big thing. But there are some players that have known to partake, especially a little more on the alcohol a little bit. Yeah, yeah. So I actually would hear funny stories where there would be popular players for certain teams. And they were always excited to go on the road. Because they would know on the road, they could get blackout and no one to recognize them in the bars. And then they'd use the morning skate before the game to skate it all out all the alcohol. So those were there times that they could let loose and have fun. So anyway, it makes sense. Yeah, but again, it's demanding we digress. So yeah, that's like, our big family thing. We tried to go to church were you know, Roman Catholic, so we do recognize that it is a it's more of a haul, Catholic thing. My grandmother grew up with nuns. So you know, it's a very big thing in the family to fly respect to him. Right. Exactly. To respect the religion so we do a little bit but I like to joke with people we're more cool Catholics that we're not hardcore about, you know, we, we go to Mass and we can we try to respect whatever we can. But I'm a big believer that if Jesus were to come back, he wouldn't be so hardcore about things he would be more understanding and realizing people that live their own lives and this is the gift we have. But anyway, what do you what do you I don't can't remember your traditions. Zack, like I know he said Christmas isn't really super big in your house.

Zac Saleski: 27:48

But I don't know how to follow that you just started last thing I

Murph: 27:51

remember you say go to Mass. You're better going to Mass and I am I know that you're way better at doing that on Christmas.

Zac Saleski: 27:56

Yeah, Christmas. Yeah. It's been a it's been interesting. I Oh, I have a kind of a double, I guess kind of a double sided. I get tradition. So we we used to have like our own traditions in Missouri. Which I love a lot. Like I said like out there it's like people didn't really have a whole lot of money. So just for them about the experience. So a lot of times what we would do and it's kind of one reason why I think Christmas was so magical to me growing up was that we had a

Murph: 28:29

okay this is the first time I think I've heard you say there you go so about five years ago I think pushing you back because I'm like you're so high in this Halloween that Christmas sucks and I'm like wait a second Yeah, we're going like this is like a Hallmark movie all of a sudden but the the tissues out for crying not for anything else. And so it's just like

Zac Saleski: 28:51

it was a Hallmark movie. I would come back from right seriously Yeah. Like a family man or something. Yeah.

Unknown: 28:58

I wish you wish

Murph: 28:59

your Nicolas Cage I wish money you know

Zac Saleski: 29:02

they're doing a movie on him. Love of actually just have like the main character is him Nicolas Cage I'm not kidding. I know that. I'm not kidding you. So So what happened like when I was a kid, the best thing growing up was like it seemed like we always had the best like parties right around like middle school and elementary school we had the best the best single parties ever so like towards the end the day you know all the parents would come in you have a huge party then boom would be winter break credit for that but Oh, you just get fat. It'd be great. Would you serve at it? Oh, do well this was like the year that they actually like Zebra Cakes was like

Murph: 29:42

pretty new. Yeah. So like they would have like heavy like oh, yeah, like sugary horse.

Zac Saleski: 29:47

Like a platter of these and then they would bring in you know all different kinds of treats. Everyone had like their own thing and we all have like games with like treats and stuff and we come we go home with a big ol bag of candy. And all this is great to perfectly send off into it's a break and then as we're going into into Christmas break and whatnot the best thing was Oh man, I just seemed like Christmas Eve was just That's why I actually enjoy Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day because it seemed like the build up so much better right so it's just seeing everyone like rush out of the stores last second be like oh my god, I forgot to get all these things and then and then usually, I don't know late afternoon dinner time. It's usually when we go out to church and then after church it's just weird because we are very active in our church when I was younger so we all used to say hi to everybody and have a huge conversations but Christmas time like what you're supposed to be about yeah. Oh yeah, like that. But Christmas time it's like hi doing Hi doing all right. Well, it's been fun. I got to go Go by yourself. Basically, because everyone had like their own idol. Yeah,

Murph: 30:54

they're like listen, we got a big family time Yeah,

Zac Saleski: 30:56

we got reservation Shut the hell up. Yeah, that's kind of how it is because like, you know, I don't know if you guys know anything about the US but when you have reservations at these restaurants, it is a it is a mad dash to get to these Well,

Murph: 31:09

depends depends on the time period like if it's like prime dinner time, which is like five I think to seven it's like yeah, if you have reservations, you get there early because they will not wait for you for very long and then they are they are sending tables

Zac Saleski: 31:22

for us you anywhere between six to 730 is kind of where we used to have it but

Murph: 31:26

then Priyanka is prime dinnertime.

Zac Saleski: 31:28

And then we and then we always stopped somewhere. It'd be kind of random, but that those were the days to that Applebee's was like in its heyday.

Murph: 31:37

You don't go to the neighborhoods. I'm tired. I didn't eat there that much. I didn't really know when I started out. The drinks are good now. But really, yeah,

Zac Saleski: 31:44

not shocked on that one. And that's how Boulevard beer became so big because they don't know about oh, wait. Yeah, because they became exclusive to Applebee's. So when they came up, okay, wait, you're done. I gotta ask. Okay. So yeah, we used to we don't do it right now. Okay, fine. If I can before you go get your head. Do you call it dinner or supper? Dinner? Yeah, continue. I hate soccer. I'm not that old. That's like any that's like saying I'm gonna wash something. Oh my

Murph: 32:09

Why? Why? You or the other? Okay everyone I'll send you up a wall on this one. Crikey. Don't do that. When did like when did that start? There's two E's in it. It's Creek. Not Crikey. Creepy my fucking neck

Unknown: 32:25

sorry. Oh,

Murph: 32:28

I am I am reading Charles. Darwin Charles Dickens I am reading Charles Dickens A Christmas Story.

Zac Saleski: 32:37

But we used to always always and when your baby back ribs and Kansas City Barbecue sauce. No, I always remember this My brother used to always order the same freakin thing doesn't matter where we were he always used to only always order chicken fingers every like five even when he was like 1415 years old orders like 30 years are good but not not now. But back then. He's always ordered that

Murph: 33:01

I'll do it at a sporting event. But come on.

Zac Saleski: 33:03

Like I used to always eat like burgers and stuff as as a kid. Exactly. Okay, so but at that time, like is the thing like you look around the whole like, you know, talent be there just having a good time then after that. We've have like the time like 1520 minutes outside of the city. So we're just kind of we kind of take our time on the way back and just drive through different neighborhoods look at the lights and you know, kind of enjoy and then by time you back it's like, I don't know 839 ish, and then we get trained real quick. Then we used to open a PRET like one present and then get ready for bed. So I apologize

Murph: 33:38

we did that too. Yeah, I guess I should have included that the the it's died a little bit but then ours was on I didn't know we're going into Christmas Eve I guess we probably should have done this on our Christmas podcast. Oh yeah. Whatever. Yeah, no, yeah. Christmas Eve for us. It was lasagna and Christmas vacation. We're a big Oh, shockingly we're a goofy family the Murphy's so we love Christmas vacation Chevy Chase so we used to watch that every year with some lasagna on Christmas Eve for Yeah, and we sometimes open one gift

Zac Saleski: 34:05

we used to used to watch like communication like I my dad kind of got grew me. I guess I kind of grew up on them on the movie a lot. So it's something every other year used to watch. You

Murph: 34:16

know what? Oh, sorry. Sorry. Yeah, go ahead. You know what though? They're never as good as the 90s claymation movies Dude, you're without a Santa Claus. That is my shit. I was like I unfortunately he was on while I was working did not work for the hour and just watch that like it was like yeah do that is my shit. See?

Zac Saleski: 34:34

Rudolph was like my thing.

Murph: 34:36

Rudolph was good. Rough was also good trying to think what else out there but yeah, that's yeah, I keep miser and snow miser do those those dance moves and that entry? Legendary

Zac Saleski: 34:47

legend everyone. We used to watch those but like we'd never I don't know. Like maybe they didn't really show it to us on public television that time but I don't know. I think we always also, I think my mom actually record A bunch of Rudolph the real claymation

Murph: 35:02

stuff so if you want to borrow it I have the DVD with all those all those movies.

Zac Saleski: 35:06

Well, thank you Murph now have something to do.

Murph: 35:08

Exactly. Yeah, but we digress again. Oh, yeah. No, no yeah, that

Zac Saleski: 35:13

was that was kind of our thing that we should do because usually by the time we open up one president our parents like Alright, time to go to bed. You know, wake up in the morning, man, it gets out. But now it's it's so different because it's a lot that's kind of cut in half. It's very cut and dry. Like, alright, you know, you guys kind of use the routine. Guys want to go out to eat? No, all right. A lot of times to my dad asked me like, Oh, you want to go out to mass or something? You know, I'll go with them. No big deal. And then and then it's just kind of how it is like, if you want to open a gift cool, if not, whatever.

Murph: 35:45

One part about Getting old is getting old is the traditions go by that's like well, even I said, So I mentioned that my brother's lasagna Christmas vacation is getting old you do something else on on Christmas Eve? And I'm like, What do you want to do? It's Christmas Eve. Like, we're not gonna go out and do something like what do you want to do? You want to go clubbing? Like, I don't know what you want to do? Like, yeah, like, what do we what are we doing here? Like, it's like, okay, what other movie you want to watch? Like, that's Yeah, like that. Was my sister too. But yeah, it's like they they just get that way. And I'm like, I don't know I as boring as nonchalant sometimes doesn't get there is some at least nice to tradition, because I find you miss it after a while you do. So anyway,

Zac Saleski: 36:25

you do whatever it is. But those those are kind of like the traditions I think we do. It's, it's, it's nice.

Murph: 36:30

I receive, like I talked about I don't know if you're ever the same I respect and I kind of almost jealous, like in Europe and other countries and even other families. Like, they have really special traditions, or it's like things that are kind of off the wall or like you wouldn't think of and I'm like, you kind of like that. It makes things a little more fun a little bit. Like, instead of just unfortunate the typical Americans agreed. We're just buying each other gifts and you know, like, let's spend a lot of money in them, which unfortunately, kinda like my family, but like yeah, that's like, you know, you respect that you respect a little bit like the the mandarin oranges, whatever. Like it's just like, it's yeah, it's

Unknown: 37:07

Oh, no avocado.

Zac Saleski: 37:09

Hey. Nice, right? You know, after all these years of watching, Oh, Christmas vacation, I started understanding what Clark's father said in that movie who said, Dad, how'd you how'd you get through the craziness of Christmas? He's like, I drink a lot, son.

Murph: 37:29

Jack Daniels. I remember. That was my fraternity drink Jack Dang. Wow. Yeah, yeah, so true. So true. God, holidays. I love them but man there Yeah. Yeah. And unfortunately my job a lot that goes up in that time. So it's a busy time for Tyler Murphy. busy time. Tom Murphy. Tom Murphy.

Zac Saleski: 37:47

Otherwise known as the Superman of Canada

Murph: 37:51

there's actually a Canadian Superman.

Unknown: 37:53

Oh god yeah,

Murph: 37:54

I actually have one of the comics

Zac Saleski: 37:57

Oh man.

Murph: 37:58

Yeah. was gifted to me think during Christmas time to I forgot to remember what it was called. I don't think it was Canada man a something like that. I don't I will quickly look it up look it up. I want to know now look it up. We have all this look it up. This Yeah, I have I have a comic sexual larious it looks a lot like Captain America but like obviously just a lot of Canadian stuff.

Zac Saleski: 38:20

It's just weird to have is

Murph: 38:22

what what's weird. Just all

Zac Saleski: 38:24

of it. Is Superman. Canadian. No, he's not Canadian. Get over it.

Murph: 38:27

Man. You're terrible googling. Just do Captain Canada. I'm pretty sure that's it.

Zac Saleski: 38:32

Oh, well. That's a whole different. There it is.

Murph: 38:36

Cannot that's it. Captain Canuck. Captain Canuck. That's all the comic I have right there. That third image. This is the comic No, no, no third match for the top. Oh, oh, that's that's the

Zac Saleski: 38:46

Captain Canuck. Captain Canuck.

Murph: 38:49

Yep, he will save the day. It'd be very polite about it. Yeah. You're welcome. Oh, yep, this Yep. Yep. Yep. He doesn't have the shield to you know, doesn't just patriot. He's patriotic duty and muscle. And so he's got you

Zac Saleski: 39:06

know what, he'll just tell you nicely to go away. That's all you need.

Murph: 39:10

Can you please leave sir?

Zac Saleski: 39:11

Oh, very persuasive. Yes. I will now gonna need you

Murph: 39:15

to vacate the premises as soon as he can.

Zac Saleski: 39:19

It's like that video years ago where? Where this was a Mountie, or like a highway patrol guy in Canada. They're interviewing him and they look over because I guess it was an accident or something like that. And then they pan over. There's two guys on the highway fighting each other. He turns around, he's like, Hey, would you stop it? Stop it was a

Murph: 39:41

joke, but that's fair.

Zac Saleski: 39:43

No, he's actually is actually legit. The guys were just like, they finally like backed off and realize, Oh, that was stupid. Okay. Oh my god. It's so Canadians.

Murph: 39:53

That's not what my grandfather told me. Oh, God. Oh, yeah. All right. I'll give you one I'll give you I'll get my one. My grandpa was a Mountie So people always laugh but literally in Canada, the Mountie or like the Secret Service, FBI. So like he was like he like protected the Queen of England when she came and visited Canada because, Canada. It's weird. They've been independent for a while, but they're still like, basically, it was like, Who was that? Indian comedian? That was like, that was like the English laughter like, no, no, no will follow you because you can't take care of yourself. Like that kind of thing. Yeah, like I say, the UK, Canada, they're like, we've been a colony of yours for a while. We're just gonna still like, she's on the money in Canada. Like all that stuff. Like they're still somewhat patriotic about the, the English aspect of them. I know. The province of New Brunswick, on the eastern coast was like, actually its own separate thing from Canada for a little while. Because of it. I don't know, I'm sure some Kenyan people are gonna be mad at me for it. But whatever. That's at least the small observation that I've made from that one. Listening is all good anyway. So he used to be part of the drug busts. And so he was obviously he was a Mountie during the think would have been, like the, yeah, the 60s and 70s. And so if anyone knows what the 60s 70s a lot of draft dodgers, unfortunately, and where would they go? Canada or Mexico, mostly Canada. So he has to deal with that. And hippies. And so he said, you know, back in the day, so he was a cop before just before the hippies. And then you got to experience the transition into the hippies. So he said back in the day, he said, drug smugglers will take the drug, and they put it in their mouth. And the whole idea was, they put it in their mouth that the cops don't see the drugs on them, they leave them alone. Well, the cops knew otherwise. And the laws were a lot looser back then. So he said, anytime they need a drug bust, they grab them, and they had punched their teeth out way to their teeth and grabbed the drugs. Oh, and now you got the drugs. And now you've got the drug smuggler. So go to jail. So he said, he was telling me the story he gave me he didn't give me too much specifics, but he's just kind of talking. And, you know, he's obviously he's my grandfather's. He's one of the nicest men in the world. And obviously, my mom would tell me, he wasn't always that nice. But, you know, the training, they go through the things they do. It's like paramilitary stuff. So you could tell like, he's seen shit. And he knows shit. Like, but like, you know, nice guy in the world. He now just runs like a hobby farm. He's got hands as thick as like, it's like to have my hands come by and how thick his hands are. So he's telling me the story with these thick ass hands? And he's like, yeah, so and they used to like to toughen up their hands. Like they used to have like, put them on a table, whatever. And they take rulers, like whack them with it, just to like, toughen them up and shit. Oh, yeah, it was. It was Dude, it was hardcore, like marine training. It was. So anyway, so he said, they're at this hippie concert. And they get a tip off that there's drugs, so they bust them. And so he said, there they are. He said, they've got all these hippies and they can't find the drugs. So they think it's in their mouth. So they got these hippies and they, you know, skinny hippies, whatever. He says, there's just a whole whale of them break in their teeth and their teeth are broken. And they're, they're digging through their teeth looking for the drugs. And what the hippies did that were unique to any other drug run was they will just swallow the drugs. Because they get and so they said there they are not knowing this. So they're breaking these hippies teeth in and just destroying their mouths looking for drugs, and then swallowed them so they weren't getting them. So it was just like, yeah, so that's just like, yeah, so he's it. Obviously, things had to change after that. But he's like, yeah, that's, that was his interaction with hippies was that's what he had to do the hippie incident of 67. Oh, yeah. No, yeah. And he was like, he was hardcore. Like, he made one of the bigger busts in Ontario. Like there's a newspaper clipping about it. He was asked to travel like, he went to New York, Vegas, India, for like police conferences. Wow. But he was like, I know people wanna make fun of them. And unfortunately, movie culture makes fun of it. But like, and I know they dress funny, but like, Mounties are no fucking joke, like they are. Unfortunately, you know, it's changing a little more now because Canada is very progressive. And unfortunately, in becoming progressive, they kind of gone the other way, sometimes with and I know, it's a very unpopular opinion, but I'm just going to say it. Unfortunately, there are certain people in certain things that just shouldn't be in certain workforces and Mounties are kind of one of them. And so it's kind of becoming a problem, but like, most people look over your border. Yeah. Yeah. Like yeah, that's I mean, they're like, they're like, they're there are hardcore FBI. Like I've met some FBI people and it's like, you know, they're almost seem like retired cops because they're more investigating bigger things. These these Mounties are guys that my grandfather did undercover like he did stuff like that, where it's like, you've got to have guts of steel, you got to have nerves of steel, you got to be a big guy and be able to hold your own and like, fortunately, nowadays, that stuff is just kind of no longer promoted, and it's no longer no longer done. You've very rare to find people like that anymore. And don't get me wrong. There are people that have tried to do that, that ruined it for others, but we still need those people in the world, as well as we need the other end of the spectrum understanding and all that stuff

Zac Saleski: 44:55

loaded with the ones that were politically charged. Yeah, exactly. are not good reasons.

Murph: 45:01

Or unfortunately when a politician promises change it's because they're going to do something hardcore that does that. But anyway, whatever I grew we're in the holiday season supposedly so the nice holiday Yeah, I got my soapbox. I apologize. I get your fellow about I just get very I get very passionate about this stuff. But yeah, that's that's my that's my problem. No anyone else's. But I don't we gotta go back to now you got your Christmas shopping done. Well, I'll go into everybody. Have you go shopping done? I have not so I'll answer that one. Oh,

Zac Saleski: 45:32

I am actually almost done. I think maybe probably one. One more thing. How the group I've I've almost this is pretty bad. I'm sure I'll get a lot a lot of crap from flood people by I almost look like to get anything from my brother because my brother is a how do I call it a hoarder? hoarder? Yes. packrat

Murph: 45:53

he's a lot. I've seen it. Yeah, it's it's actually Zack let me steal some things because he just has so much I don't even think he realized exactly.

Zac Saleski: 46:00

Well, it's really I mean it. I've gotten him stuff in the past. Like it's nice for stuff like he's a Giants fan. I've gotten them like some giants Nike gear, like Team issued type stuff. And it and even was it two years ago, I bought him like a huge pack of socks. Like he's a Giants fan. Yeah. Continues. Yeah, it's so I look, I look at his socks. And like, he has a bunch of holes. And I was like, you know, buying some socks. I bought a bunch of socks a couple years ago. And and I think maybe what a mature gift for exactly four or five months later, they're still in original packaging. I'm like, alright. Alright, Jared, I'm not gonna get you anything. You know, until you figure your stuff out.

Murph: 46:36

My brother's like that. And um, but unfortunately, unlike your brother, my brother has a finer taste for the things in life because obviously he has the money for it. So we have to buy him nice gifts. Like really nice gifts. So I think I once bought him like, four or $500 backpack thinking it'd be something he like, found in his frickin closet at our house. So now I use it because he's not doing anything with like, the nice to me backpack and I'm like, what, like, and I remember like going I was like, so proud of it. I did research and like there's other NHL players wearing it. And I was like, this will be awesome. Just know, he just doesn't doesn't he doesn't want a backpack yet. So

Zac Saleski: 47:10

when my brother does and it's like, it kind of falls into the rest of stuff. And then next you know, you're like, alright, it's not even worth it. So I've contemplated buying him I guess organizers or like, you know, anything to organize anything for that matter, but I'm afraid that's gonna go into the into the trash.

Murph: 47:29

Hot, hot take then we'll ask here. Yeah. Your thoughts on gift cards on Christmas? Gift cards or cash? What is your thoughts on that?

Zac Saleski: 47:39

Ah, I don't know. I I actually like cash better. Okay. But, I mean, it's difficult because like, there's, there's really like one place if I were to get a gift card, like I know, like, it would be perfect. And it's what my dad has done last couple of years. Microcenter okay. Yeah, yeah, nerd. Just like that's fair. Like our version of Best Buy here. So

Murph: 48:01

I guess it's obviously it's per person what they enjoy, but I'll be frankly honest, I find your dogs freaking out. Yeah, I find gift cards and cash. Just not really big on it. I think it's good for birthdays and like other things outside of that. But for some reason, I guess I'm too commercialized Americanize with Christmas like through like a box of something like that's why I include gift receipts. Because in my mind, it's like I've thought of you. Here's something I think you would like if you don't like it, return it, take the cash, get something you want. Now, of course, I'm not buying something stupid for the cash of it. I would just like, think about you a little bit. Try to buy you something and include the gift receipt. So I don't know why. And I know everyone's different. I just didn't know people like why would you do that? You give them cash or gift cards what they want? And I'm like, Yeah, but I don't know. There's something about seeing that small thing in the morning of Christmas. They're kind of like, What the fuck is this? Done? Like, you did the bare minimum you went to a store or whatever and you got now you know if I know my friends well enough, I would do that. But like, I think for Christmas, I try not to everything else. I will. But Christmas. I try not to just because like, you want to see something the day of Christmas. Yeah, sounds weird, but play with something or build something or read something or a bit like whatever. I don't know that. You know, that's like, it's that's kind of where I'm at.

Zac Saleski: 49:15

Yeah, I mean, you want those? He was nice gestures. Yeah. But my mom used to always tell me when I was growing up. She's like, you know, if you just have any questions about like, anything that I may want, just, you know, just give us money.

Murph: 49:30

Oh, yeah, that's yeah, it's not fun even when your gift givers not fun.

Zac Saleski: 49:34

I know. It's tough. But I know just not it's,

Murph: 49:37

you know what, I guess I guess I should be a degenerate gambler because there is something fun about thinking you've pegged something, but you're not sure and you still get it. And you see what the response is? Sure. My family we have a lot of laughs on some of our guests. One year, our algo quick, maybe we should save this for the before Christmas podcast. But I will say this. My best stories was one year my dad I Don't know if he had enough of with it, or he just didn't have time to get it. He would wrap he would wrap boxes, and we'd open it. And there'll be pictures of things inside. And we would have to guess what it was that he had gotten us but it didn't arrive in time. So he literally put a picture one day, one year, he put a picture of the goalie his name was Ron tug. Now he has a Columbus Blue Jacket, goalie as well as some other teams. Yeah. And full goalie. And so I was like, What is this? Like? What? Like, what? And he's like, he's like, I got you something for Christmas. Now, I want you to guess. I swear, I went through every article of padding that goalie had it, my dad would go, nope. But do you want it? And I go, No, no, no, like, I'm just trying to figure this out. It ended up being a helmet. But he didn't tell me that. But what happened was he got a helmet and was a custom helmet. So it just didn't arrive in time for Christmas. So instead, he wrapped a box with a newspaper clipping of him to let me know that I was getting a helmet I mean, I love I love my parents. I love my dad. I know what he was trying to do and say you're trying but it was Oh my god. You like the damn Exactly. It was like get it. Funniest thing. No, no, I knew it was coming. But it was like one of those things. That's good. But it was like one of those things where it was like, it was just, it was just funny because he didn't give any other hints. It was just a picture of a goalie and if you've seen a hockey goalie, I thought just protector. I thought gloves, I thought pads, the man himself, right. And I was so young. I didn't know when you need to replace equipment. Like I would just wear equipment until I just needed my dad was like, I got your new stuff. Yeah. So it was just funny literally naming all the gear on the goalie and my dad being like, oh, no, do you want it? And I'm like, No, I'm like, I just, I'm trying to figure out what you got me. Like, I don't know, like,

Zac Saleski: 51:51

not understanding the assignment. Right? And he will give you the whole outfit.

Murph: 51:55

Right? Exactly. It's just like any like, yeah, you're no, you're you already have enough Christmas gifts. You're like, this is amazing, but like, I just want to figure out what it is. I don't know what it is. So anyway, I have that goalie helmet still to this day. I don't use it, but I have it in my display.

Zac Saleski: 52:07

They really like that. Like, they're expensive. Like no, I'm just saying like, if if you have to player like is are they easy to like depart with because I figured some guys are just a goalie helmet, or just like goalie gear in general.

Murph: 52:22

Good question. pads. So the things you wear on your legs. I understand your gloves. That's Yes, helmets. No, those are very personal. It's kind of a tradition. If you go to like the Hockey Hall of Fame. I actually found out there's one New York I need to go see. I didn't know that. I'm a horrible hockey fan. No, but I've been to the one in Toronto. I've done that. That's the Mecca. That's that's the one you go to. But there's one in New York as well. Oh, it's more like an NHL one. The real one is in Toronto. But they actually have a whole whole room full of old goalie masks. And yeah, since like, you can almost think of it since like, the dawn of the goalie mask they just started decided well, at the dawn they know someone to look it up with goalie masks first came out. They didn't paint them they were leather and all that. But then when they start coming out with like the plastic, whatever ones they had, they came up with ideas to paint them and you know, they weren't always team related. There's actually a really famous New York one I think it's maybe it's Giles Go Bears something like that can't remember, this guy was nuts hockey goalies are known to be nuts. And this guy was nuts. But this guy probably would have been a good leader and a call. This guy was like, like, you know, when people like, I don't know how they do but you know, when people pretend they tapped into their previous lives, like the Buddha thing, like people like we're like, I used to be this in a previous life like, yeah, like, I don't know how people do that. But apparently they do. I assume they just smoke a buttload of pot. I don't know. Maybe some LSD. Yeah, I don't know. But anyway, this guy did it. And for some reason, out of everything he could have been in a previous life. He claims he was a lion in the gladiator ring. So he painted his goalie mask as a lion. Wow. And that was his goalie mask. Like other guys did like, you know other guys did like the Empire State Building or like Gary Cheevers, who was a really good goalie for Boston did stitches every time he got hit in the face. He put like a stitch on his mask. Like they do cool stuff like that. This guy and the guy we were on the line mass was cool. It was just so random. And the guy was so weird that quickly look it up. You got to see it's really interesting. Well, I guess Giles goo bear Gilberto's gi lb RT. And then NATO energy I feel better. Now. G so g i

Zac Saleski: 54:37

LGL. Yeah, be jlb RT

Murph: 54:45

oh my gosh, I gotta wait. Maybe I got it. Right. Go images. Yay. No, he's a goalie. I don't think he's nine. He's not the one I'm thinking. Who is this guy? It's not him. Oh, no, it is always a Boston boy. My bad. Look up. Now. Look up Rangers lion mask he's a Rangers Go I know people are oh my god, your Rangers Tyler. Oh my god. I know there it is. That's it.

Zac Saleski: 55:09

Oh, that was the Okay, that makes more sense. Oh

Murph: 55:12

Gillis Gratton was doing Yeah, whatever kind of clothes. And you see like the skull one down there. Like like, you know, there was some there was some interesting ones and they also came up with the idea to pay to try and like scare shooters. But yeah, and then they came up with weird designs. There's a guy for the penguins that did like a really weird mouthpiece on his and like, it became kind of like goalie art. But anyway, yeah, so no, sorry I digress. The masks yet the masks. Yeah, you'll be lucky to get one of those. Usually if you get one it's because they're usually doing it for a good good like a charity. Or nowadays, they get so many masks painted that like the wood apart was some the most goalies keep at least a few of their masks. Oh, good for display. And then you know, sticks you can easily get most hockey players unless it's something rare. Most hockey players don't care about giving their sticks. Oh, yeah.

Zac Saleski: 56:04

Now it's where I'd say obviously, if you say it's gonna go to charity, but you really just take it for yourself right?

Murph: 56:09

Now. No, I can do a pretty good charity. They're pretty good at that. Luckily, nowadays, I don't know about football, but nowadays the way they make equipment, especially in hockey, it's kind of meant to be you need to buy a lot of it. Like goalies go through pads so much now like it's crazy. But as your job is cheaper. We keep digressing. We will talk about Christmas and we're back on hockey. Oh, yeah. I know the football pads are they're meant to be. They're built to last right? Because those things get could get broken easily with the way you guys hit.

Zac Saleski: 56:36

It's called reconditioning where every, every single year, pads have to go through a process called reconditioning normally,

Murph: 56:45

okay, at least you see that old picture that guy testing a helmet where he threw himself into a wall headfirst. That's how they do.

Zac Saleski: 56:54

They just they tried to make sure like the high school and let me club they didn't really do it but mainly high school they do this every single year, they just send it to a supplier to make sure that everything's all rounded off properly. There's no major dents or any holes that they can just like kind of like basically fill in the holes and try to like rebuff everything to make sure things are good but there's holes on the helmets at least really but then you're sorry from where I've never seen a hole in the helmet or the scratch like deep. Sometimes you can have like from like the face mask kidding. Yeah, it can get pretty bad but then shoulder pads I'm not sure either the recondition those I think they just make sure like they're properly fluffed. Okay, so just make sure there's there's more padding in there so when you do come new collision, there's no issue but that's kind of like the only thing they really do. Okay, those are the major ones but

Murph: 57:46

I realize it's not like a ton of padding for football. It's mostly just shoulder and head like yeah, they've got stuff for the legs but like I know a lot of you told me a lot of guys don't wear that stuff. So

Zac Saleski: 57:54

it's like guys take the plastic guy like the main foam and they just put it in there just because they want to run faster and hit each other. So I was like I'm shocked

Murph: 58:03

when you get hit in the leg you'll get like a dead like but whatever maybe you do and you just run it off I don't know honestly some of those tackles it like goes right into their like quad and I'm like oh my gosh quad

Zac Saleski: 58:12

is not honestly head off like the quad is actually not a problem it's usually the side it bands so if you get like a kind of like a random guy rolling over on the pile just kidding you it'll hurt but honestly like I've never had any issues there it's

Murph: 58:28

sex never on the ground and football

Zac Saleski: 58:31

you starting fights to do what I do.

Murph: 58:36

Alright, so you have to admit because when I briefly played lacrosse at Jerome there those helmets were sick the gold of the green gold like that was awesome he did that with some sick helmets they're still the same if I'm right well yeah cuz we've always been gold I think they now just throw that logo on it but what I liked when you guys played was it just did solid gold almost like a Notre Dame and they did a green slip stripe down the middle I believe

Zac Saleski: 58:59

we know we had a just solid gold green facemask and then we had the the Celtic because we were not Catholic not all around the pride stickers. Yeah. But we were we were called sure you guys know us but our high school we are called Celtic's Yep. Now Celtics Celtic's can't make that mistake Nope. Nope. Celtic Warrior on Dublin Celtic's? I remember they tried to copy Notre Dame so bad that are too rich. They they came in and like the biggest hit of the like the last week game they had this this stick and like this is this is a stick for the hardest hit from lots of the prior week is called the Golden chalet. I was like,

Murph: 59:40

That's Notre Dame. Oh, my God. And we had the bagpipes playing when they walk in I remember I didn't go to many high school football games when I did I remember that. And then we also had the we'd like copied so many things. And with the victory bell I think to

Zac Saleski: 59:53

every every high school tunes, I can't let's say that

Murph: 59:57

so it's why everyone just played the victory bagpipes. Have you played a major play? I'm out? Like, I don't know. But we did have the bagpipes. I remember that did we bring brought a live person in to do that? Right?

Zac Saleski: 1:00:07

You actually there was a volunteer guide, like who was part of like the, I don't know, a Scottish funny person. The

Murph: 1:00:13

only thing did football games. He didn't do anything else. Yeah.

Zac Saleski: 1:00:16

I mean, he would do. I think there's special events you would do with cross.

Murph: 1:00:19

Oh, you're good at lacrosse? Yeah, I didn't play long enough to get there. Yeah, it was too easy for me.

Zac Saleski: 1:00:24

Yeah. All I remember was one of my teammates from high school. Rick would be like, when someone won the gold chalet. And actually someone that he knew pretty well, he. They'd be like, yeah, yeah. Rick was staring up in like, hold the guy's hands like, yeah, like he just won the lottery. It's stupid stuff. Like that just makes football wonderful.

Murph: 1:00:47

I will give that though. What I like what the NHL teams do and I don't know if some of them are kind of dumb. But I like like Arizona did it when my brother was playing for them. They did like a WWE belt. But it was the gay I like that. That sounds fun when you make it fun now, New York got stupid in New York does like a fashion hat. So it's like who's that singer that like made that really popular? The big buffalo looking hat. He's saying cuz I'm happy riding along. For Oh, yeah. So they'll do like a hat like that in New York. And I'm like, Georgia. Yeah, but it's supposed to be more trendy. And so it's just stupid. I like what I don't mind is when I played we did like odd time like the hardhat which was like a construction workers hat like kind of made a little bit of sense and we put stickers on every time we won like that was kind of fun. You know? Unfortunately hockey tried. Fortunately, football had great traditions I'll get football that and then we hockey's tried to copy a little bit. It's kinda like, that's not the sport to do that, like football makes more sense. You guys have one game a week. No offense, but like that makes sense. Hockey. It's like you're playing three to four times a week. Like you're gonna divvy that thing out three or four times a week like kind of crazy, but at least the belt made sense. But then every these other things they do now is like so like, the Winnipeg Jets in Canada do like a Air Force helmet, which kind of makes sense. It's kind of cool. That's cool. I'm trying to think of the some of the really weird ones I've seen. But the New York one is probably the Calgary

Zac Saleski: 1:02:12

lights shit on fire right now. Sit around this dome, Calgary might be Hellboy dumpster fire. No.

Murph: 1:02:20

Calgary might be a cowboy hat just because I know the Canadian fans are probably gonna get pissed. But like to think Calgary is almost like the Texas of Canada but not as weird if that makes sense. Like, so they're like gun toting rights aren't as crazy, but there's a lot of like cowboys and stuff in Calgary. That's cool. Yeah, so our admin been Alberta. That's where Calgary is the province of Alberta, which

Zac Saleski: 1:02:40

Edmonton just drinks a couple shots of oil.

Murph: 1:02:44

Well, just Yeah. It's like an oil down there. Yeah. Yeah. But

Zac Saleski: 1:02:48

yeah, you had a good game here. Take the shot of oil, but it's petroleum. Take it. Take it. I want to get out of here.

Murph: 1:02:57

Right? Yeah, I'm just gonna leave now.

Zac Saleski: 1:02:59

So Taylor Hall got out.

Murph: 1:03:01

You know what? Houston had the Oilers? That's true. Yeah. So don't make fun of them so badly. Man, they

Zac Saleski: 1:03:06

had a great coach.

Murph: 1:03:07

Did they really? Oh, they suck. No, they were good. Did they have a winless season no

Zac Saleski: 1:03:11

they they Houston Oilers were good that how they move Why did they move I don't even know the history on that one. Now they move to other Titans

Murph: 1:03:19

Yeah, so why they move Tennessee?

Zac Saleski: 1:03:21

They're that good. Oh, man. Houston might have been might have been stadium issues. And then I think Nashville came as well built stadium Hill how would that is I actually that old Houston Superdome still there no way still the added yeah abandoned but still there right that is man that is a treasure but that they will not knock down may

Murph: 1:03:46

surprise ever turned into like I like when they turn old stadiums or arenas into like what's it called museums? Yeah, I always find it funny. Like you're not gonna tear it down just turn to the museum pay people like people like hockey, football whatever like sports in general. People have nostalgia for that stuff they want to go see it like oh definitely make some money off it.

Zac Saleski: 1:04:07

You definitely do like some local tournaments and stuff like that too. Yeah, you can easily make money

Murph: 1:04:11

Oh like the we went when we went to the NFL Hall of Fame like the field they built there for the Hall of Fame Game but then the high school team plays out there every once in a while like

Zac Saleski: 1:04:20

that's that's always been the deal with Ken McKinley they always play there and then but yeah, like a lot of I know the state championships play there and

Murph: 1:04:28

Bishop Sycamore

Zac Saleski: 1:04:33

boy Damn, I got a call that just a string that goes a long way. Keep them interested. There we go. That's incredible. Right? Well, we're What a time

Murph: 1:04:48

I know. Sorry. I'm playing with your bottle opener thing. Okay. Ban we were hounded. I feel like I feel it today was just over an hour of just going off topic on everything.

Zac Saleski: 1:04:57

Yeah, but you know what, that's how we that's While drinking is fun, right? Because we drink good things just

Murph: 1:05:03

being 21 and over 18 in some areas

Unknown: 1:05:08

Oh, wow. Yeah,

Zac Saleski: 1:05:10

that's what she said.

Murph: 1:05:11

Well, I just more meant for the drinking you have sick pervert. Okay. Being serious 21 Here 18 in Canada? Yeah. 18 cat that 18 year for 17

Zac Saleski: 1:05:22

Well, in Europe they just give their kids non alcoholic beer. So they can kind of groom them into drinking.

Unknown: 1:05:30

I think that'd be bad.

Murph: 1:05:32

Well suddenly start to like it. No, I guess not. Because they seem to like it. So then when they have the alcohol, they're like, this is like nothing. Yeah, no, I think that'd be different because then the alcohol would hit them and they'd be like, Oh, shit.

Zac Saleski: 1:05:43

So weird. It's a it's a different culture.

Murph: 1:05:46

I guess. More they just not big deal. Whereas here in the US, it's so it's so shun that, that people like it's like, premarital sex. We don't we don't like that. We're in America.

Zac Saleski: 1:05:58

On the table and they start whacking it with rulers, right? Nine

Murph: 1:06:04

Nine you speak German? I've heard it never spoke German to me.

Zac Saleski: 1:06:08

German nuns sound music she's Austrian get it? Right.

Murph: 1:06:17

I know. A little bit of no debt. No, that's right. It was the Nazis. not German. Okay. Okay. I was like I thought took a little bit of place in Germany because the borders there but no, say the Nazis on German. Well, like I was gonna say Germany, but then I was like, No, it's the Nazis were in Austria. So nevermind. Yeah. Yeah, I thought it I thought transition to

Zac Saleski: 1:06:37

welcome them and they're like, I thought oh, I do it.

Murph: 1:06:40

I thought it was Yeah, I know history. I thought it was I thought it transition to Germany at some point the thing I realized enough Germans were there you thought it was but it wasn't. That's wrong. Yeah.

Zac Saleski: 1:06:50

I apologize. My mom used to always rent that movie from blockbuster. And I was like, why are you watching this? One at a time.

Murph: 1:06:58

You ever see that Family Guy joke on that where showed a nun had decapitated one of them? It was like, I didn't start this war, but I'm gonna end like oh my god. Like joke about the music when they cut the brake lines. And the ones like I said to and it shows someone's head. Like, oh my God. God, it's like, the guy was it's different.

Zac Saleski: 1:07:19

So it's always sunny. Oh my God. Someone cut the right lies. Wow, car videos.

Murph: 1:07:25

Oh, that weird skinny homeless guy. Yeah. I can't watch that. I can't watch that much of that sunny but I just see the odd clips. I'm okay with

Zac Saleski: 1:07:35

that dry humor, man.

Murph: 1:07:36

It's too much awkward humor for me. Yeah, I'm not weird individual that like when I like. Like, I watch a movie. I get cringy watching it. Like most people can watch a big it's a movie. I don't feel weird. I like feel for them. So something weird will happen. And I really have to close my eyes. And I'm like, I can't experience this. Like, I get weird and anxiety and all that we're like with them. Like I'm like, this is awful. I get I can't think of a thing. I can't think of a recent example. But there's just times where that'll happen or like, I think it's also why can't watch musical is because like, it'll be like a normal scene. That's a movie you're like, Okay, great. And the next thing you know, they're like, and we're doing podcasts and they're doing this and I'm like, What the hell like this doesn't require song and dance right now. Like what is this? I mean, that being said, I'll probably go see the new West Side Story, but like, like what is this going on?

Zac Saleski: 1:08:23

Like is this weird to me since high school musical you don't want it?

Murph: 1:08:27

I never got into high school musical. I know they got really big way never did. Especially when they sing we're all in this together. I basically I cringed and I couldn't watch it.

Zac Saleski: 1:08:36

When they when they use the term shoot the outside Jay I was like okay, I'm done.

Murph: 1:08:41

I'm cringing again.

Zac Saleski: 1:08:43

They use that term in the middle of a number and like who says that? Okay

Murph: 1:08:51

when you're trying to Loki smoke weed but not no wonder why did Jane are like we know what you're doing this

Unknown: 1:08:59

shoot the outside. Yeah, yeah, well,

Murph: 1:09:01

you know they're going outside to shoot a J Yeah, they're doing

Zac Saleski: 1:09:03

a lot of things drugs. Yeah, man smoking early 2000s was a wild time wild time.

Murph: 1:09:10

Do you know we were just happy to survive past y2k So we were seeing you in drugs and

Zac Saleski: 1:09:16

all that time everyone was angry at George Bush with everything else so now than they were all just listening to the idea the punk music the whole time the puck

Murph: 1:09:26

the puck and the Dixie Chicks

Zac Saleski: 1:09:28

being angry that

Murph: 1:09:30

hey, they saved that one soccer they got banned for it

Zac Saleski: 1:09:32

well now they're known as the chick

Murph: 1:09:34

I know right all day. Yeah, I mean, because they came back I thought there's just died no

Zac Saleski: 1:09:38

cuz because they said the term Dixie is too offensive to other people in the cell. So

Murph: 1:09:44

I really hate this world. Sometimes. I really got allergies, the chicks we literally give too much power to some of the worst people like and like if you're a fit like that's like me being like, every time someone says mountebank they're not they're called the good He had mounted police like I'm like, That's yeah, like, who cares? I mean FBI who gives a shit. Like, just like, seriously, like, that's like, I hate to I hate to go into this and make it really political. But that's like I heard I'm just gonna say. So I heard like, apparently now the term redneck is hate speech. And I'm like, I've heard people use that. I've heard rednecks use that term, like, yeah. And they're like, well, it's like, I can't No, I can't say I can't go into that. Like, that's like, the too far. No, but it's like they're like, that's like other words, and I'm like, but it's being used by the individuals that feel oppressed, that it's being used to. So I'm really confused on all of this, like, feel like we're like, don't get me wrong. There's some words that I'm happy, we don't use anymore. But then at the same time, people use them. And I'm like, Wait, so we're only punishing certain people. And not everyone. Like, that doesn't make any sense to me. Like that's to work, right? Isn't that it's just fun how life works like that, like, but then then again, those people that you can't use the words about, they can use other words, and everyone's like, that's fine, because we were using words against them before and it just like, when does the slave ever Wade clean? What does it say? Neverwet. Clean, like, when does it happen? Like,

Zac Saleski: 1:11:07

because they have a magical chart where they what you say they just kind of be like well, he met this on over here. So that's who we should

Murph: 1:11:15

go like your frickin Dungeons and Dragons. There's just like, roll a dice, and we're gonna get pissed about something I don't know. Like, it's just gonna happen. Like, I don't know, like, Yeah, so one day, my chain outside my shirts gonna be something bad. Like, I'm like, I don't know, at this point. Like, we're probably gonna have stuff to talk about cults because they're going to get oppressed and they're going to not like it so I don't I don't know at this point.

Zac Saleski: 1:11:35

Listen, Murph, the cult union has something to say. Yeah, right.

Murph: 1:11:39

Yeah, just wait for the lawsuit. bill in the mail on that one. Yeah. Randy's gonna start a GoFundMe for the lawyers we're gonna need to hire because he got Scientology or something's got to be Yeah. Yeah, the the guy that used to own our house and still get the mail sent to it three years later. What would you do? What do you cashed that? Check? 50 bucks. $50,000. Your name's not on hell.

Zac Saleski: 1:12:02

No. No, I know what that you know what that guy does? And kind of people he probably knows I'd be like, Oh,

Murph: 1:12:09

he's not, too so you know, he's a douchebag. Oh,

Zac Saleski: 1:12:11

I already know. You

Murph: 1:12:13

know if it's those get divorced. I'm sure there's lots of people that get divorced for the right reasons. He did not he was eating

Zac Saleski: 1:12:18

it. Yeah, no, he. I'm sure he knows a lot of people. So I'd be like new I

Murph: 1:12:22

guess we knew probably should quickly. So the previous owners that own the house my brother bought they live in. He was a lawyer. And what ended up happening is he lives in they lived in a really nice area and Columbus shocker, NHL player affords a really nice area in Columbus. But they live in this really nice area. He's a lawyer cheated on her. Didn't like it. Obviously, divorce happened. True. And so then now, after the divorce, they had to sell the house and kind of like a mad rush. So my brother got it already gone way up in price. And now he still gets mail sent to our house every once in a while. So

Zac Saleski: 1:12:59

I called Zach. It's not even just envelopes. It's like packages.

Murph: 1:13:03

Yeah, I got a 16 pound package sitting in my house right now that he had delivered there. Because what happens is, he has a peel box. And for some reason that peel box gets forwarded to our address. Yeah, so like, I think two months ago I called Zach and a little bit of a tizzy, because for some reason I call Zach as like my outside lawyer. Because we got a we got a FedEx envelope. I thought this is something for Connor. So I opened it. And I was like, Wait, this is a check for 50 grand. And this isn't my brother's name. This is some LLC. I was like, Oh, this is probably as a previous homeowner. And so my brother had to call him he came over guy didn't even give me a thank so didn't even give me a smile. He just really I think he's also I think he's also English or something. I think he's from England. I don't know. I think there's something because our houses done weird, which is very popular in England. They do for heating. So I thought he was English. Or maybe he just loves England. I don't know. Maybe his mistress was English. I don't know. But anyway, he like comes up and all he really does is like no smile. No, nothing. Give him the man like Okay, here we go. And he's just like, cheers, grabs, it walks away, like no, like, and I don't like small talk, but no trying at small talk. No, like anything like, you know, when you meet people, and you just tell they're douchebags and people are like, Oh, no, they're a good person and like, give them a chance. And you're like, No, like, I trust my gut. And this person's a douchebag. Like, you know what I mean? Some like

Zac Saleski: 1:14:19

that. It'd be like, Hey, I'm sorry. Like, yeah, you have to deal with this. I'll get effects.

Murph: 1:14:23

Exactly. So I will. I had to call the company and tell them Can I send the package back? We're figuring that out. But if they don't, I'll keep you guys posted. But I might have to reach out to him. Tell him hey, you have a package here. And then we're going to have a nice discussion about either he will pay me for all these packages that gets sent in and I will let him know when they come in. So he'll pay me to be his receptionist or he will change his forwarding address and we will stop getting charged for handling. Yeah, exactly. No, seriously. Well, someone had to handle it. So he touched it. Someone had to handle it. 10 bucks with shipping and handling. He's like Well, I'm just buying it from you. He's a I handled it. Hey, go he's All right. So I'll let you guys know probably the end of the horrible lawsuit or him dig dig energy in me or some more small Duke Energy. Hey, man, I don't know. We'll just take you to court. Probably yeah, whatever. So I got my brother, you know, I got you know, I got that. Most people most people marry for money. I was born into it. I guess apparently, that means maybe I'm kidding. Now, but it'll be it'll be one of those awkward interactions that don't happen as much nowadays where you got to have to be like a madman discussion. But most people nowadays don't want to do that. So they just say you're threatening me. And so the

Zac Saleski: 1:15:34

best because they completely like, you know, a lot of dudes now. They just kind of completely, like, fall apart from the inside. Yeah, they call portation. Hmm.

Murph: 1:15:44

People don't know how to have discussions. They're really

Zac Saleski: 1:15:47

ever. Yeah. Yeah. And that's, that's one thing I I try to tell my boss lot of times the same thing like people. A lot of people like our agents don't want to talk to you. Yeah, because we talked about, like, how we do like gym demos that go in and sample stuff out. Yeah. But people, people don't want to, like talk to you. Because they're like, I just, I don't want,

Murph: 1:16:10

right? I can't it's either what you say it's either one or two things. They don't want to talk to you. Or if they do, they're horrible. Like, it's a horrible thing, like, I wholeheartedly believe believe in which I know, some people think differently. But I wholeheartedly believe in the power of conversation is going to be the dying art in the future because of all the emails and like, I mean, phone calling is still kind of power conversation. But we'll see just email and social media posting and things like that, like, people don't know how to look someone in the eye, and try and meet them halfway on something because that's kind of what this world works on. And unfortunately, those are the people that will end up running the country because like that old school way of business is still always going to be king. But always Yeah, but unfortunately, now a lot of us are gonna be so bad at it that like, people are just gonna get fleeced like it's gonna be it like the street smarts are gonna slowly go out the window like the street starts where we'll be like, I won't fall for this phone scam I won't fall for this internet scam is that those will be the street smarts. But then you'll go and like fall for the guy playing craps on the side of the road. You know, like that kind of shit. Like,

Zac Saleski: 1:17:16

it's, it's so wild because I had a conversation with somebody at the gyms months ago, as this kid was already in, man, probably like, I don't know, it's probably a month or two, maybe three, like, already came back from Europe. And I was talking to this kid and talking another guy and passing this in the sauna. And this guy was talking. This kid was basically saying this naked Asana talking. No, no negative. And then the this basically this, this kid who was in college, he basically says, we try to have this conversation. And it's kind of just talking about, like, you know, different, you know, limits every in place on travel and whatnot. And so we're sitting here we're talking about just different things. But remember, just like myself, like, wow, you have had, like, this is such a dull conversation. There's nothing you've added. I kind of feel bad for you. Right? So I'm just like, Man, this is rough. They're just

Murph: 1:18:17

cousins like that. My cousin's cute, like 20 just turned 20. Yeah, my cousin just turned 21. He's like that. Like, he literally. I don't even know why I'm telling these stories. But literally, like so for Halloween this year. Hopefully, og fans will respect this. Yeah, me and my girlfriend dressed up as Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. Yeah, I wasn't super crazy about my girlfriend dressing up as Barnacle Boy, but whatever. So it was kind of funny. So I sent a snap out of it. And I've gotten some of my cousins on my Snapchat. So just kind of the only way I kind of keep in touch with some of my Canadian family. And so my cousin like commented on it. And I just don't even know why I brought it up. But I was just like, just kind of saying, like, you know, the costume is a little tight fit, and I'm not feeling my best physically wearing it or whatever. And he literally responded with like, don't say that you're hot. And I'm like, and like I just didn't respond because I'm like, men just don't tell men that and people like, it's 2021 You should be able to say whatever you want. And I'm like, not really, they're just some things like I don't want to say and people could be like, Oh, you're not masculine is whatever and I'm like found no, there are boundaries use don't cross like, you know, I don't care if it's 2021 like, don't look at my deck when I picked it and install like, I don't know, like stuff like that. Like I've just like, I'm pretty, like, pretty masculine, but like, I'm like, that's just not comfortable. Sure. Talk to yourself. Yeah, like that's not good. Oh, yeah. I'm like, just not gonna do that. Like, I'm not looking for validation from my male friends. Yeah, that's not what I'm doing. Like I don't know maybe I'm the weird person. That stuff just like it almost creeps me out. Like I don't care. Like I've I've interacted with gay men. beans all that stuff that stuff doesn't it's just weird when another man comments to another man like that. I don't know why just weird to me like, you ever talked to you one year, a year ago the 90s voiceovers will tell me look today Google

Zac Saleski: 1:20:11

denim jeans with them bagel thighs and tell him he's thought I have. I'm so jumping. Oh, that 150 today.

Murph: 1:20:19

You might have taken a little you got a little too specific on that.

Zac Saleski: 1:20:24

You know what if this whole blogging and podcasting thing does take out, like take off, I just do.

Murph: 1:20:29

Just do 90s voiceovers that nobody wants. Oh, yeah. Just hold yourself out with 90s voiceovers and when voiceover I'll check you all after her.

Zac Saleski: 1:20:44

Birth, just that sentence, fit it perfectly. It's like Dude, do things and nobody. Exactly. Got them. That's nice.

Murph: 1:20:52

I'm not saying that. You're right. You're right. You're right. That's it. I'm not saying people don't want the 90s voiceovers, I'm just saying how specific you were with it. And like, I don't think anyone was like, You know what, the 90s were a really good time for voiceovers. Like, before then there was a little bit but it sucked after them just hasn't been just the way he does. The first thing you jumped to was just like, I don't know, I would have thought like 90s animatronics that they didn't weren't using CGI. Like that was always very like, you know, do you remember

Zac Saleski: 1:21:21

like the movie commercials?

Murph: 1:21:24

Yeah, yeah, like the community DVD ones. It was 2000.

Unknown: 1:21:28

In a world,

Murph: 1:21:29

like that stuff. Yeah. You just got to tick tock but does that. Give them a time timeframe? And he'll do that? Yeah, yeah. So technically, these are going on before

Zac Saleski: 1:21:38

that. Well, no, I mean, the you had like one older guy that kind of started the whole trend. Yeah, basically with that sentence, it was like him and then another guy then towards the end the 90s. That's when that's when the Disney Channel guide came. They're

Murph: 1:21:49

fair. That's why I got a laugh because I never really picked up on that small thing. I loved how that was like your, your bullet in the chamber like that was that you're like, I am going to set this conversation up for this.

Zac Saleski: 1:22:01
