The Nielson Show - October 5th, 2026 - Hour 1

0:00six oh seven on a Monday morning. What is up? What's happening boys? It's good to see you my friend. Is that milk in that cup? Oh, don't even get me started or a protein shake. Don't even get me started on that. There's a reason I don't tweet about the oilers for about four months in the summer. And that was a perfect example of it this weekend. What do you insinuate? I know, like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna say everything you say this morning and end well, we might as well just get some, we might as well start with this. Like, what are you insinuating? So yeah, what are you insinuating? What are you insinuating? What are you insinuating? Trevor, are you insinuating anything? Nothing. I feel like you're insinuating something. No, I'm totally not. Now you are. I know you are. You're insinuating stuff right off the top of the show today. I'm insinuating that it's plateaued overfest. Yeah, plateaued overfest continues. Okay, so Devon's sort of music for this too. I want to have that. I'm going to have to be a courtier. Could I trouble you for a glass of warm milk? It helps put me asleep. You could trouble me for a warm glass of shut the hell up. Now you will go to sleep or I will put you to sleep. Great milk clip.

1:07Okay, so here's what happened. Devon Levi, excellent performance is doing his post game availability. He's holding like a clear glass that looks like he has a white beverage in it. Okay, now I know it probably wasn't milk, but I wanted to live in this world where he won an NHL game and was drinking a glass of milk because you still like because I love milk. I love milk. I drink I had two glasses of milk yesterday. I know it's not required when you're an adult, but I absolutely love it. So I quote tweeted to others tweet and just said, I sure hope that's a glass of milk in his hand and then three laughing face emojis. And there are multiple people who like Alice Hemsky fan club. It's a protein shake. Need to be more attentive if you want to make it as a broadcaster instead of trying to spread misinformation. How about that one? That's a good one. There are multiple people. Hey, I thought it was just that Aussie. That was pretty clearly a protein shake. I don't get it.

2:10What are you trying to insinuate here? It's a pet shake. They made it. I hope it's milk. That's it. I it. Oh, what would you be? What would you be insinuating though? Exactly. Like nobody just kind of trying to put yourself in there too. I honestly don't know. I don't know. There is no alternative motive to the tweet for me. I was just hoping he was drinking a glass of milk. Usually when you say what are you insinuating? The person saying that has an idea of what you would be insinuating. You know, and I looked it up. The insinuating is to suggest that something negative is going on. Right. And that guy saying what am I? So I'm wondering when he's drinking a white Russian. But he's drinking a white Russian after the game like the dude. Yeah, yeah. That's what he's doing. And that's why I was sure it's only milk. It's not a paralyzer. And would that even be so bad? My god. Man, this is crazy. I didn't see your reply. Some of the people there who are nuts. They're genuinely insane. So if you don't understand why I do not comment on the others ever again in an off season, that's the kind of reason why.

3:12It's embarrassing. Because people are nuts. They're nuts. How do they get so offended and offended or offensive? I think that's the one guy who always see if I find the one. He's just like, I personally thought he was joking. But then the closer I looked at, I was like, no, he's not joking. Here it is. Here it is. So I, the guy who said it's a protein shake. Need to be more attentive if you want to make it as a broadcaster instead of trying to spread misinformation. I replied. I said, I wasn't spreading misinformation. I was hoping it was a glass of milk because I like milk. And he replied and said, stop backpedaling. You made a horrible joke and it backfired. Own it and move on. Be better. TSN won't put up with this. Up back. That's nice. Oh my gosh. Well, that's sad. What a sad world. Yeah. From just saying, boy, I hope that's a glass of milk because I love milk too. Oh, no, that's not milk.

4:14Oh man. Could you drop a milk reference on the next broadcast? I think a small one would just to kind of. It's also funny because you're not in any danger with TSN losing your job by saying it's a glass of milk. Oh, get me a glass of milk. That was beautiful. I could have a glass of milk on TSN. They wouldn't care. But we also do that for a long time. They were doing that milking points milking points. Yeah. What are we insinuating there? Well, Clemens Lidseck sentences, Devon Levi abides just like the dude with the milk. Yeah, I like that. That's good. Yeah. And simulations tune into today's show. I guess or any show. Yeah, what are you? Yeah. You wanted simulations. I just will give me a log daughter. I saw some stuff. What is going on? What is this? What is happening? What's going on? Tough luck. Yeah. It's, uh, yeah. I thought people would be happy. Yeah. It's taking five of the possible six points to start the year. How was your weekend? Rick, would you get us? Yeah. No, nothing. You were almost

5:14taking the U survived. I see. Yeah. Well, I was going to get to that during the ugly. This is the worst ride in my entire life. Did not enjoy the trip from Ottawa to Montreal late on Friday after the gate. Well, we'll get to that. Plane trains on all of you. Was that tape? I think it was just one sort of big passenger van driven by a psycho. Yeah. It was not. What are you watching? What'd you do? You how about our game? Well, hey, tough day for both of us. Hey, tough day for both of us. Oh, I thought you told about that parlay that we cooked. Oh, the parlay. We hit the parlay. Yeah. No, no, no, we don't talk. Yeah. I insinuate that today's show is the lines and bills. No, go. We don't talk about it. There's more than enough games to talk about. What do we say in the NFL? You have a stinker. You can talk about five other games. You easily blow past a couple of games, which is probably what we'll do with my sense. No sense. No sense. Talk about a prime time game, which she's a hubbard ran for how many yards? Why would we want to talk about the local boy, lighten up my favorite team that just doesn't make any sense or Drake made finally getting on track.

6:17We have a Monday night between the Falcons and Saints to get through. Damn it. Where are you going to be Rick? Sully sports bar and lounge centric central four road loaded burgers beer on special and NFL Jersey up for grabs plus that free heated underground parking, which is very nice. Should be good game. Division rivalry. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually looking forward to the Saints and Falcons. Yeah, I'm a sick puppy. Well, and we'll have any time touched on to watch as well. That hit us. Well, we'll spin that wheel. The wheel is six of seven. Yeah, start the year was sick. Harold fanning. Unbelievable. That name. Travelers, your weekend. What'd you get up to, buddy? Oh, some disc golf, some video editing, some vids, played some vids. You did play some video games. Very nice. Yeah, it was a very chill, relaxing weekend. It was mild, no, no, no, no. Yeah, a couple bites. You're a lot of bites nipples. This is a first for me and it's getting annoying, but people are like, hey, I'm really interested. Is this still available? I'm like, yes. And then I never hear from them again. I don't know what happens.

7:19I want to be that guy in line who just gets people really excited about the products they're selling. They ghost them. Yeah, it's been it's been tough. I don't understand. And so now I'm starting to change it. I'm like, yes, but I'm getting a lot of offers. And so people are like, oh, really? That's so that's kind of that's kind of working. But yeah, still have a legitimate offer yet. I'm not trying to low ball you. Oh, no, I've had a few legitimate offers. Okay, I'm so waiting. I'm sorry. Patients patients as I've heard you. I'd say patient pays off in the car selling game. Yeah, traded to the Habs for Kirby doc. Yeah, maybe one for one. Oh gosh. No, you rather keep your car. Keep the car. It's a crappy car. I don't even know. It's more dependable than is that what you're saying? Yeah, they're both pretty banged off of being honest. I got home yesterday around 11. And I realized as I was getting off the flight for Montreal that 24 hours later, I'd be getting back on the flight going back to Montreal. Oh, damn. The same like the same one that landed yesterday when probably back to Montreal and then came back this morning. And I'm getting on and going back to Montreal today to get to Detroit,

8:22which is why so I got home for 24 hours. But I saw Elizabeth make her first start of the year in U 11 between the pipes. And that she was peppered kept her team in it. They lost three, two on a gold like 60 seconds left. But she was incredible. She stopped. She stopped. Well, she stopped every break away. She faced and was like seven or eight of them. Where's the other team? Where's the other team out of couple of girls who could really wheel. But the mud stood on her head kept them in the game. So she was, she was awesome. She got like they're giving out like a butjouled acts for player in the game. And she got it. So she was very fired up. And then Marsh played quarterback at like football yesterday. And I got to be there for that too, which was which was good. He was lacking receivers. Hit a couple guys, rating the hands. And they dropped them. I'm sitting there in the crowd yelling at other people. And I'm like, tell your kid to learn how to catch. This is a force. Hit a rate of numbers.

9:25Anyway, I'm not allowed back in Commonwealth for the rest of the play football season. That's kind of, kind of, that is hilarious, isn't it? All right. The Eelson Show brought to you by Wee Johnson. Wee Johnson. Wee Johnson. Wee Johnson. Wee Johnson. Yes. The Eelson Show brought to you by Wee Johnson every single day. That's why sometimes we go Wee Johnson. Wee Johnson. Did you know that most furnace and air conditioners last for about 15 to 25 years. The life of a hot water tank is six to 12.

The book of service are get a quote on a new unit or just get the most out of your current unit by keeping it keeping it maintained, which is, which is nice. What are you insinuating with that? I don't know what I'm insinuating. I don't even think anybody

10:25has ever said to me once in my life, what are you insinuating? Outside of that tweet over the weekend. Who uses that? There are thousands of times somebody could have said that to you with with some of the inside jokes that you say the signs I do insinuate stuff. Absolutely. The whole show is an giant insinuation, but that was not the time to say it. Like really, that's what I got. That's what's all funny of this. And I'd love to ask those people, or that's particular gentleman, what he thinks you're insinuating. I just wanted to reply with this. Go outside, nerd. Get out. Go. I ain't got time to be distracted by your worthless charm as going. Which is exactly what that is. I don't have the time to be distracted by your worthless chimons, man. The Georgia satellite in the NASA Jets is no bills, no lines, no CFL fantasy championship talk. I mean, I'm in tight. I'm in tough. I'm in tough against Kevin the curfew final. I need this week. One out of the champion. I do like 140 to 70. So I don't like my champion. He looked ahead. Do you like a? I mean, I didn't buy looking ahead because I'm a similar. Big bounce back.

Let's do some morning announcements here.

16:45My tea is way too hot today. It's way too hot. I wish you could somehow make a tea that's about 80% as hot as it is. I boil that water to 80%. Splash of milk, maybe with cool it down. I just don't I told you guys this before I think mixing milk and water grosses me out. Well, it's not just like a flavored. A little bit of tea. That's a prize back on the chalkiness. I mean, it's surprising. Well, you love milk so much. I do love milk so much. That's why I don't need water in it. But it's just milk and water is no flavor. Just water down milk. It's still the milk flavor. It's like water in milk. Sure there is a bit. What? Well, course. It's not like ooze. Yeah. It's not just sick. So you think if I put milk in this tea it would taste better than me? Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, he's great. I always have to have milk in my tea.

17:46It cuts down on like the sharpness of it, depending on what type of tea I mean, not too much. You don't want you want to go full. I want it. He's having like hot milk in the mornings. Yeah. But what did we have five? What do you mean? Why? Why? I'm in the hangover. I speak and he's got like, I'm like, what are you drinking? Like hot cocoa? You put a mush merlis? No, I put some cream in there. I said, well, it puts a coffee in there as well. It's just like hot milk. Would you like some coffee with your cream? I could believe it. I've never seen that. I thought he'd like the black. But some of it should event a kettle that only boils your water to 80% of boiling. But you can turn it off. What's that? You can turn it off. Well, but then I got to run back over there. I got to turn it off as a mess. I think the thing is is the thermos that you're putting it in. This is a great thermos. It's this is a Yeti for coach Dustin back in 2324. Too hot. Yeah, like that's going to say hot until you pour the plate. Yeah, it's going to be. It's going to be fondly drop an ice Cuban. I guess it could drop an ice Cuban. That's interesting. But I do like it warm. But I guess it's holding on. Yeah, that's the thing. The only thing I like, scoling hot, are my takes. All right. CFL action over the weekend. How are you feeling both

18:50the riders, buddy? Let's start. We're not talking about the rider. We're talking about the riders. We never talked about them when they win. I think we've talked about the riders because I don't think it's going to matter because they're better than the bombers. Well, yeah, that's the whole thing there. How about giving up for Sean Whitey? Eight field goals and some people were denying him and doubting him. I was never doubting Sean White. I just don't think he's got his big of leg as he used to. But he hits eight field goals following up Blanchard's does. So that would have tied the old record. Yeah. Blanchard has the new, the new record. No, Chad Kelly problem problem. But I don't think it's going to be too significant. No, but you see what this team is like without. No, I know. But they're one of those things where it illustrates, but they still had a chance to tie the game against the BC line. Yeah. But without a Chad Kelly, that was an off game. Yeah. BC still would scare me if I'm an Elk's fan. Yes. They've been playing extremely good defense

19:55for a good stretch now. And Nathan Rorck is cooking. If they're going to slay the road, winter playoff dragon. This would be the year they do it. But not at the concrete castle. Well, no, you'd hope not. But they should. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Give me your thoughts on Calgary then. Who you just got a first hand look at. Well, V.A. is good. Look. It's what is it? October 5th. Summer's over, right? Summer is over. Yeah. And he looked like summer V.A. on Friday and I'll say that. I mean, there it's a tight, tight West. They don't they're not a team that you would say, oh, maybe great cup aspirations or everything. But right now, they're a team that certainly could make the playoffs either in the West or the East crossover, whatever you want. But are they ones that to go on? Probably not. Are the rough riders ones to march on? Probably not. Are the bombers? Like all of these three teams in the end, you put them all in that machine and tumble them up. Does it really matter? Do we need them half the power? Do they even have the juice to actually make us really? Really? Yeah. We're talking. Yeah. I don't know. I think now you're looking at separation in terms of tears. Quite obviously the division leaders in Montreal, Edmonton. I think B.C.

20:56is up there. I think Toronto is up there. And I think there's up there's a line. And then the rest. Yeah. I would agree with that. So the riders are only two points back. Calgary is only two points back of BC. BC and riders both have a game in an anode Calgary. Calgary has a chance to clinch a playoff spot and essentially eliminate Winnipeg this week. That's a massive game. I shall win a peg. Does Winnipeg the tiebreaker with the riders? Yes. Okay. So riders have lost tiebreakers as a winnipeg in Calgary and BC. So Calgary can clinch, but it wouldn't officially eliminate Winnipeg unless a scat you and wins as well, I think an auto one. I had the pleasure of calling the Red Lacks game. It was tight. I went to get a bag of chips. I come back. It's good. It was it was an incredible first half. Yeah. The first half was really good. MBT was slinging it. I looked like the look like the Red Lacks were actually going to at least remain in the game. Yeah. And then nothing. Yeah. They absolutely did nothing in the second half. And Harrison Frost, who I like to refer to as Frosty the throw man. He kind of seals. He seals it away. And the the tie cat snap

21:58a five game losing streak of their own. That's game of the year. That's the one. Tie cats back in action at home this week against who? Against the doubly the Edmith Elf. And I have them doing that game by the clock Friday. I'm excited to be doing an elx game on the road in the hammer hammer. So that'll be that'll be a lot of little cigarettes you and Luke Wilson give me each other tattoos. Hey, I'm in the hammer. Yeah. Steal. Yeah. Eating steel.

All right, best positive to the first three games biggest concern to the first three games. And it's been a bit of a roller coaster for the first three games. Would you want it any other way? You wouldn't want. I know we won't. We want to entertain. Are you not entertained? I think you have to be very entertained. Yeah. I would like to see Babcock actually quote Maximus that's the beginning. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if that I think it probably

31:33happens at some point. Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? That's safe. Like he said, did a lot of touchdown. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Right, man. Not entertained. All right. So Texan 7802189999 what's your biggest positive so far in the season? And the thing that might concern you the most as well, library patisans as big as all those positive through three games. They showed versus the crack in that they can play a repeatable style of hockey. Biggest concern. They haven't proven that they can repeat that just yet. Hashtag the fan zone library pat Rick biggest positive for this team. So positive Mike Babcock negative goal tending. Even after the Levi game on the weekend. Well, Jury's still out. May I know. I know. I know it's I am all for it. I mean, look, they had a couple pretty big saves in that. Absolutely. It wasn't like he got peppered and had to stand on his head. But when they needed a save, he gave him a save. I think to quote her and Ann Salis is Levi back. And I guess her and loves asking people to back. That's his thing. That's his thing. Gone tomorrow.

32:33That's the biggest positive biggest concern so far. Biggest positive. I would have to go with their starts. I'd agree with burglar in the parish rulers inbox. Yeah, I just think starts have been they've been awesome. It's been fun to see game one. They they came out. You know, they looked really good. A few bad bounces didn't go their way, which sucks. Whatever they bounce back in the second game. And it was probably the best start. The others have had in recent memory against the Knucks. They're just dominating them. Yeah, it was a knucks. But it was still you love to see it if you're a fan. Like I was just like, oh, look at this. This is so sick. Look at this. Look at that. Yeah. And then again, I thought they started pretty strong against the the crack. And so we talked talked about it all summer. Like the players they want to get ready. They want to be involved right from puck drop in or starting to see that. So I'm loving the starts. It's so nice. And yeah, it's it's been the Kraken and the Knucks. So what can they do? How do they start against a good team?

33:33Yeah, we'll see. We'll find out here. So we will find out sooner than later. But I mean, I love the starts. It's awesome. Like I'm really liking how they look. This is an overall bigger picture start thing. I saw somebody at Twitter last night going at somebody saying, they haven't started this well in years. But they're also two oh and one last year. To start the season. So breaks in the break. Do you know what I mean? Like they should have. This should just be this should just be elementary. Yeah, it's just three years. Yeah, I don't know. I know I'm terribly speaking. I get it. But biggest concern, Jeff. I concern like, I don't know. I probably have to go just look at some players. Is the biggest concern? If that's okay. Like, I thought, you know, he was got awful. Time, I'm saying he steps in completely changed that look at the defense. I thought they looked way better with him in. Jake Walman as well. I like a little bit of a concern. I was hoping for a lot more fair enough. That's a fair concern, I think. Yeah. And then, uh, yeah, LTR. He touched on it. Cool, Tending, you know, terrible, terrible. One of the worst performances I've ever seen from an oiler's netminder

34:36on a devil's device first showing as an oiler. And he bounces back. So it's one game, one bad game, one good game. Where is he? We'll find out as well. But I'd say those are my concerns. Just individual concerns. Construction Chris Texan hashtag fan zone concerns one goal tending, two goal tending, three goal tending positives. One compete level two goals falls. goals four goals four must have meant it's an auto great to falls. And then three new stat. Babs quotes. So that's a good one. If I need a goal tending in the positives as well. Janias Texan says, Janias here. Simply positive. We got five points to start the first three games. One was the last time that happened in previous years. And the answer is last year they did go two on one to open last year. People seem to forget that. And then concerns is hoping that this A H O lineup of ours can hold up against bigger teams until our injured players come back healthy. I'll throw out a positive that has been mentioned yet. How about the Michaels kit? Yeah, two goals in three games.

35:37They think of you. Well, that's funny. You're sexy. Where does it look? Drives girl. Wow. Christian Bata in the nasty chat. Dusty Owen Michaels needs a goal song, Dusty. Maybe they HBK theme version. We already did. I know this thing earlier. We did that Friday and we legitimately waited the sporting. What's the answer? What's the answer? You're right. It's with the fireworks. The best theme song. My favorite. Is this a second? What's that? Is this is this is this is is this in sitting waiting? Oh, what are we in sitting? I'm not. You're bull. It's all. Who plays diesel in the tag team? I want to. Anyway, great idea, man. But we got it. Yeah. Well, thank you. Yeah, yeah. We got it. But great minds. I think we credit him after every time. Great minds. Well, great minds. Do think alike. Great positive. Great positive for sure.

36:40Landel Texas is the crack and beat Calgary sick. Nothing in Vancouver. Six one. They seem better than most teams. Vancouver and Calgary aren't strong, but still thought Saturday was a solid game from the others. Well, I think Calgary's going to be. Yeah. Vancouver's looked slightly better than I thought. Calgary looks like they saw. I think a little credit to the crack and two. And how they played the Oilers Saturday. And what they've done so far. I mean, they're probably not going to last this. But out of the gate here. Hampton Steve Tex in biggest positive. Bouchard looks like a legit Norse candidate. And isn't having a traditional slow start. Biggest concern. The injuries and how long will the depth players be able to effectively play further up the lineup? You can also look at a positive with the depth players right now. I agree. Given the opposition, as mentioned, though, I mean, maybe when the rubber hits the road. That'll be a good test for when they play some of these more difficult teams. As if outside of the big boys, the other guys can continue to contribute. Super Mario is well. Super super super super Mario. You should go in your next TSN broadcast to the milk mustache dusty. Exactly. I think I would have the glass of milk just have the mustache.

37:43Just a big old milk mustache. What are you insinuating exactly exactly? You don't have to insinuate anything. Come on. Library Pat says you need to mix in some Oh Wednesday clips. Yes. Onto the yeah, let me give me one second here. Let me find my old Anne Ramsey soundboard here. Maybe we can cook a little bit on a Monday morning. Let's see what we can do. Don't tempt me. I'm here for a good time. This is by request. Hey, everyone. I think I'm cute. Who the hell are you on? I'm not sexy. Check, check. Oh, it's him. It's dry. It's a boop. Where is it me? You heard me back? I'm moving. I'm sexy. Up and down. That's my head. That's the sexy one. That's who I am. I'm not sexy. Torin, Typhoon, Typhoon, Typhoon. Very good. That's for you. It's a cousin Patty. Got somebody's gonna ask him that.

38:44Read the list. A list of names. Yeah. To me, on great stretch of the season, but just inquiring minds when I know do you live? That's good. Here's I mean, here's another low key positive. Is that the others? And I guess maybe this is different. Just because the schedule last year was so cramped. That it felt like they were playing every single day. But they're next three games. So they're on a three they get three days off right now. They played on the third. They don't play again until Wednesday. And they're on this California trip. And usually a California trip. You'll see them like three games and four nights. They play on the seventh. That's Wednesday, two days off. So they're at the ducks on Wednesday, two days off at the sharks on Saturday. Afternoon. That'll be at Boston Pizza Westgate. Okay. By the way, for the Madden A affair on Saturday, then they have two more days off before playing the Kings at eight 30 on Tuesday.

39:46The third so they have a stretch here where they play three games in essentially 10 days, which is nuts compared to what we've seen over the last few years. And it's on this California road trip. I'm hoping there's a Disneyland day in there. You've got two sets of two days off between games in California. Connor, take the team to Disneyland, man. That would be great. I think Babcock's already sniffing out in my tenure A for that. If anybody looks like a guy who would enjoy Disney land, right? It's Mike Babcock. Yes. Don't you think? Absolutely. Yeah. I think so. Got to ride that Tiana's bio. Anyway, it's so the schedule we said like, now these games should be a little bit more challenging than three. They just played. But to go three days off game, two days off game, two days off game is insane. That's unheard of. Morty Texan says maybe mess will meet Connor at Disneyland. Connor, it's me, miss.

40:47I've had the matter horn. Maybe weird, right? Yeah, call might be placed. I could, I could see that being the, being the case. First go of Keegan says, boys, we need to talk about how own Michaels just shown up and is putting in the work. Anyway, we are talked about. We're talking about two of those guys. You guys should use the Shawn Michaels song. You guys haven't used the Shawn Michaels song yet. You should definitely do it. I'm not. There. He's been a nice fit as we said earlier a few minutes ago. So you could text in like every 20 minutes. I'd be like, hey, man. Oh, Michael, you guys got to talk about this guy.

41:50It bars. They should invent the the Owen Michaels drink and it's like soda with some ice. Yeah, that's so big. I want to have a round of the whole Michael's to me. I'm glad. So okay, so there's some ice in it. Yeah, come right up. That's it. Just no. It's just soda with ice in it. Yeah, that's a good idea actually. That's pretty, pretty funny. I wonder what one Michael's eats for breakfast. I want to suffer these great toasts and some of that great jelly that's them. Every morning. Strict diet. How does he take his nuts? The unsuspecting that's made me choke. The unsuspecting that's make me choke. Anyway, a guy named Owen with the last name Michael is perfect for this show. And look, I'll say this. His job right now is to prove that they still need him when they get healthy. Right? And being a right shot who can take face offs. Gives you a little bit of walking around currency here. If you continue to play the way that you played. So I think that's pretty, pretty impressive.

42:53So far, if you're watching over on YouTube this morning, camera the thumbs up for us changing 100 trev. Changing. How about we blow through 150 before Darren Dreiger even shows face this morning. I don't I don't mind that. All right, let's get into your good, bad and ugly from the weekend. Good, bad and ugly.

43:53What's your good from the weekend, Rick? Good from the weekend. I'm going to Sean White. Eat a bit. It's good to see. Friend of the show. That's right boy. And then after such denial early on in the season, it's good to. I mean, it goes into the locker room post game and they're all over him. Right? It's good for whitey. It's nice to. Well, and he's, what's he played now? 18 years? Yeah. Like he might not have a ton left in the tank. Yeah. I told me last year. We were texted about the rule changes. And he basically said when they moved the uprights to the back of the ends and I'm probably done. Yeah. So this could be his final run. Yeah. On a very good team that could get to a great cup. For that moment. I thought this weekend was very cool. That's good for me. Yeah. I travel to good from the weekend, buddy. I'll just stick with the oilers. It was awesome. Great win. Devin Levi bounces back that he had to bounce back. And he did. So that was huge. If you're an oilers fan like this is just me personally. I don't know who else is like this, but I love refreshing the stats right now. You got Connor leading the league and scoring.

44:54Boosh is almost there as well for for defense. He's there with goals. You know, Leon drives on at least top five. Facility pod Coleson. So I don't know. Just I love that kind of thing. And there's a serious like it'd be tough. But I know we joke around about the on pace. You know, this player's on pace for. But right now, Konrad McDavid is on pace to have a career year. And that's the only one where it's not really a joke. He could do it. So there would be an interesting to see if he does. But I mean, I just he's he's on one right now. I do love on pace conversations. Three games into it. That's the one that you can't. That's the one you can kind of have some. Yeah. Uh, let's see here. When I get to one quick contra quest over on the nasty chat on YouTube from uh, Mario Machaud. Sounds like a 1980s French gold tender. Can I get a conch shut out to the crew on n-sign 218 drilling out by cold late go-oilers? Conscious of the crew. Hang on. There it is.

45:57Quick question. What are you drilling for? Can I guess? I have two choices. Oil or natural gas. I'm going to say. Good guess. I'll go with oil. So. Finally, final answer. All right. Here's my good from the weekend. We haven't even mentioned yet. It's ridiculous. Phil Pot. Tyson Phil Pot. Yeah. The Montreal Aloettes. I saw that. This dude is bloody insane. Friday or Saturday, I guess it would have been Saturday. Yeah, it was Saturday. Bombers and uh, Aloettes. I thought Trayvavil actually did a decent job staying in his hip pocket. But it did not matter. Phil Pot finishes with over 200 yards. And in the and two absolutely incredible highlight real catches. And in the same game, he sets the franchise record for receptions in a season, uh, passing Jamal Richardson and Ben Cahue Richardson down there and Cahue. They're there for big alumni, the alumni night. But he did it with three games left on the schedule. Like this is the season that Phil Pot has had.

46:58He also sets the record for receiving yards by Canadian in a season with three games left and catches by a Canadian in a season all happened in that game. There's three balls that were taken 67 for that receiving yard. Good. It's he is. He's incredible. And you know, David, I'm curious. Would you say outstanding? Well, we were talking with us and we're walking back to the hotel in Saturday. How do you decipher MOP and MVP with Davis and Phil Pot? And I would say Davis Alexander's probably your MVP. Yes. But he might not lead the league in passing touchdowns or passing yards. That might be Chad Kelly. Phil Pot is leading the league in everything from her receiver standpoint could break the all time receiving record in season. And to me, that might be a little bit more outstanding. And it comes back to the wording of the award. I think if you look at value and you take Davis Alexander off that team, who's throwing to Phil Pot and is he having the numbers? So value wise, it's Davis. And if you take off Phil Pot, I think you could still make an argument that there's need and everybody else in the mix, not to say, but

47:59but for me, but outstanding. Oh, no, I think Phil Pot. Yeah. That's why I think Phil Pot might take a run at this most outstanding player. Like he's having that type of season, which is awesome. When you're breaking records like that with games to go, it's yeah. All right, what's your bad from the weekend? Bad for me, I'm going to go to Formula One. And I really don't understand what happened. That's why I'm glad we have walking gauge on it. Okay. I don't know. There was like an hour and a half delay. Engine's failing. Max for snapping got the win ultimately. But it was raised. So for me, one to me is taken this. It used to be so much fun with the television show right on Netflix. And we're all like, oh, yeah, it's like great. It's fun. And it's gotten into this, this thing now where it's like engines and this that now, I know for the pure stuff there, it's probably great. Gage is probably. But for the guy on the street, it's a little like it's a bit of a bad look for the layman. For the layman layman's term. Yeah. So I really don't understand what's going on. I'm like, I'm glad we have gauge on to bring it all down. But yeah, engine failures, I guess rain soaked out in some delay. I was wondering what was going on there because when I was going to bed on Saturday night,

49:03they were, they were doing like the walk and it was the preview and stuff. Yeah. And then I don't know, I get a perfect statement. They did. Yeah. Okay. So I woke up early to head to the airport. So I was like four hours later. And the race was still going or like just finishing. I was like, what's happened? How long did I sleep? What's going on here? I'm not smart enough to understand any of it. All right, Trev. What's your, what's your bathroom weekend? Yeah, after doing pretty good on Thursday at the ranch, golfing in 91. Yeah, 91, which was pretty good. For me, at least I was feeling confident for Friday. So I went to the Rundle Park short course and I, which is a part three short course. Oh, no. I damn near golf to 91 there. And I think I'm done. I'm just like you, Dusty. I retire. No, remember, you get better after you 55 years. I guess I thought I finally had it. No, not even close. The worst, it was so bad. We're talking four puts, five puts. I'm done. That's my bad. Hang in there, my man. My bad from the weekend was the whole milk thing. We've already kind of discussed it. But you can't just put out a nice tweet about, oh, I hope that's a glass of milk.

50:03He's drinking. And everybody thinks I'm trying. I still don't even know what they're thinking. I'm insinuating. I guess that he was. That's what I want to know. I'm curious as to what the negative thing that you would have been insinuating. What was I trying to or else ensuring Levi? I was hoping he was drinking glass of milk after the big win. Because I think that would be great. Chocolate milk supposed to be something for you after we work out. Why not a little white milk? All right, what's your ugly from the weekend? Go to US college football Colorado State, defense coordinator Tyson Summers dismissed during the game on the field. During Colorado State's three point lost Oregon State. Jamora Fiereson on the field. He leaves. He was replaced as DC before the end of the game. No, yeah, they argued they went back and forth. There's quite a spat and then more at the podium post game kind of said. Yeah, yeah, he has to be more to that story, right? They must have been feuding during the season or something. Probably something simmering leading to that point, but a 30 point loss. I mean, you're there. That is a lot of chance or high, but I don't know if this has happened before. I don't I haven't heard the story.

51:05So that's got to be an ugly. Fired and walked off made. Walked off. Yeah, left and then you replaced as DC before the end of the game. Doing all that inside of the game. It's like when the guy retired or didn't want to race in Talladega nights and Ricky Bobby was like, I'll do it. Just and he just stepped. Yeah. I travel. What's your ugly? Speaking of Owen. Hey red, Hey red, red, Blacks. How's your buddy Owen, Owen, eight, Owen 15. Oh, 15, 15. Oh, 15. Yikes. That's ugly. They get BC this week. I don't like their chances. Yeah, very ugly. They were up. What was it at half? They were up by three where they up at half or were they just trailing it? No, they were leading. Yeah, for a second time all year. And I was like, Yeah, because I had them on the money line. I'm like, this is it. I called it. I refreshed a little a few hours later. Oh, what happened? So it's ugly boys. My ugly from the weekend was, I was all excited for this bus ride. We were there were seven of us on the crew that were going from Ottawa to the game in Montreal and instead of us all like flying the next morning, it's only like a two-hour

52:06drive. So they got this big sort of, it looked like a Lambo bus because it was tall, but it just had seating inside, regular seating inside. But the driver who had to been the most insane driver I've ever seen in my entire life. I'm sitting at the back of the bus and he had to have been taken this thing 130 kilometers an hour. And he was like, we'd go into a corner. You know how like when you get into like kind of a sharp corner, even in a regular vehicle, you would kind of slow down a little bit. This dude was like it was F1. He attacked the corner. Like he got into the corner and I'm an adversary signaled and he would go on the outside lane like over the yellow line even and just fly around vehicles got a point where I didn't want to say anything like text to one of the guys who was sitting at either gambler two rolls up from me. I said, well fast is this guy going. He goes like in between 125 and 130. And I don't know if it was because I was sitting in the back. It felt like it was sweet like every little movement. I wanted to be sitting back there going, but it was a quiet ride.

53:08None of us just wait. We get there. We get off and I said, were you guys as scared as I was? They're like, oh my god, that was the most ridiculous drive ever. I said, one of us should have said, hey, dude, slow down. Like who cares if we get to Montreal at 12 50 AM or 1 AM? It's 10 minutes. That's fun. God wasn't the STs. You had a little bit of a scare as well. No, that's a few times. No, that was just no idea. Oh, yeah, that was the STs coming home to the STs. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that guy hit the curb. I had to yell at him. I had to say, hey, man, pay attention. You're all over the road. Excuse me, sir. God. Just brutal. Scary.

Marshall went to a hockey party on Friday, like a team building thing early in the season

54:11here at one of his teammate's houses and they've got an outdoor pool. And the kids are like, you should have seen this house daddy. It was phenomenal. They had a pool in the backyard. And I was just like, oh, God. Oh, God. Well, I know, I know. I'm far, I mean, I get a far less superior home. You got some room. There's sucks. All right, six o'clock eyes and brought to you.
