The World Cup Final Is In Edmonton… WHAT ARE WE DOING?? | BB Clips

About this episode

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett react to breaking news that Calgary and Edmonton will host games for the upcoming World Cup of Hockey — but the guys aren’t thrilled with how things were divided up. While both cities are getting games, Edmonton will host the two semifinal matchups and the championship game, leaving Calgary with only group stage and elimination round action. The crew debates why Edmonton landed the biggest games and whether Calgary got short-changed despite the city moving forward with plans for a new arena. Needless to say, the guys have some thoughts.

Hi, this is Pablo Torei from Pablo Torei finds out and today I want to talk to you about Boost Mobile because we spent a lot of time analyzing inefficiencies in sports, over value contracts, money tied up in the wrong places, and so on, but those inefficiencies aren't just on a roster, sometimes they're in your own monthly expenses. Boost Mobile says switching to their $25 unlimited forever plan can unlock up to $600 in savings a year. That's $25 a month for unlimited data, talk and text when you bring your own phone. If that money is trapped in a pricey phone bill, it might be worth a second look. Visit BoostMobile.com to learn more. After 30 gigabytes, customers may experience lower speeds, customers pay $25 per month as long as they remain active on the Boost Mobile and Limited Plan. Savings claim based on a January 2026 Boost Mobile Survey of 1,000 Americans with single line on limited plans, comparing average annual payments of major carriers to 12 months on the Boost Mobile and Limited Plan.

We do have breaking news this morning. Here it is, World Cup of Hockey. 2028. We got to wait for it though, Retro. That's good though. We're here. I hope we're here, Dane. Because Zach, you know what, we got to wait. That reach something. We're ready. We don't wait. The new home of entertainment in Calgary, Scotia Place and the state of the art Rogers

Place in Edmonton, both in Alberta, Canada, along with the world class O2 Arena in Prague, Czechia. Prague? Oh, host, the next edition of the Best On Best. Well, we have to go to Prague if the World Cup's there. Oh, my God. The prop. Yeah, let's go excited for Calgary. But once the next time international hog is going to be in Prague, we have to follow this. This is what we have. This is our business. Get ahold of the DOM. He'll get us a suite. Calgary and Edmonton will jointly serve as hosts representing the province of Alberta, Calgary and Prague will each host seven games, six round robin, one elimination game, while two semi-final games and the championship game will be held in Edmonton. Go fuck your hat. What? I'm out. You got none of my support. I'm going to Prague screw this thing in Alberta. Shouldn't this war? You had to be discussed to me. I don't care if I know. Was it an F-bomb or is it swear? No, it was a hard one.

Are you? You know that dump and up in Edmonton is going to be nicer event center to the host that ours. You're saying they're going to play the final of the hippo tank when you got a brand new shiny. It won't be better than you're showing off the city of Edmonton over the city of Calgary for your finals. Great thing can Gary. Brilliant. I told you this was no good. This is going to affect our media accreditation. I don't care that. I'm not going to, I'm not watching it. It's a shitty event anyway and I'm out. So don't watch. You heard it here for the folks. Boring. It's interesting. Obviously, I thought it would be the other way around. I thought it would be the other way around. And you know what? Folks, Calgary should be pissed right off. That's a shot at you right there. I would be livid. There really need that 50 50 like what's the draw I'm missing this year?

Yeah, I'm trying to find anything further. It's just not really any just the way it's going to be 15 years newer than the other one. Like what are we talking about here? 10? Yeah, I mean, it's it's a couple years away. The ring is still relatively new. I don't know. I just thought that would be the that's your signature crown jewel event. You want to put it in the nice ring. If I was connolly in the flames, I would actually fall and see F off, have it all known as Canada's festival city and ranked Canada's number one sports city by Berson's 2025 global sports cities report versus Edmonton's proven track record for hosting large scale events, include the Stanley Cup Final, the first ever heritage classic outdoor game in 2003, the 2023 NHL Heritage Classic, the double IHF World or the IHF World Juniors, the FIFA Women's World Cup, the Junos and more. Junos? That's a huge fan diagram overlapped. Yes, I'm way off on. It's a dump.

I just hope nobody gets too stabby up there when I get all these celebrities around the world. I will say, it would be nice for the home team to win a big game in that rank with a little hardware on the line. So hopefully the Canadians can do that in 28. But I'd rather over here. I'm out. Trust me, Gary. Sorry. Port care. Well, the flames will be mad that we're not supportive of it. If I was the flames, I'd be like, no. So we're second fiddle. That's what they're telling you, folks. I want to go to Prague still. Prague. Yeah, I was fine with Prague. Might be awkward though when McDavid comes back as Canada's team captain to play in front of his old fan base, you know, how are Euler fans, are they going to welcome them back? You know what? They all have a big cry. I'm going to get back. There's all kinds of history to learn from here. Wow. Every good Euler. You know what? Ever. It's a good learning experience for us today, every day you learn. Right? Because today I can't wait to get up to the festival city, because that place is calling my name.

I mean, from the roof, I need to find out more about Burson's 2025 festival city report. What's Burson's first name? What neighborhood in Edmonton does he live in? You know, this is probably a good point in there. I mean, people around the world rave about Klondike days. And I feel like the stampede probably. Yes, it's just good point. Small little. I've been waiting, Jack. I figured at some point we'd turn the corner of the, you know, with the crazy passionate drinks. No, not yet. Can't. Okay. I thought you were going down mid-leaves. Well, yeah, the ball was the Klondike days. Now, it can even say Klondike is K-days now. I don't know. I know. Klondike days. It's Klondike days. So see what I want. Sick of people telling me what I can think. Well, you're on YouTube and you're a renegade. Yeah. That is true. Well, you can't say Klondike. I don't know. It's a bar for. Say, isn't that ice cream? Yeah. It's delicious, by the way. What would you do? Is that what you do for Klondike? I do remember that. I love him so much.

It's adorable. Oh, what do you mean you can't say that? What happened? I don't know. They changed it. Our own showdog here. It's like ketamine because that was K-days for them. I would not recommend doing that. It's Klondike days. Don't do ketamine in the night. It's possible. Although I've seen some shit in the ice district. Yes. I wonder about ketamine. I can't wait to get more video of the losers that Edmonton, after a round-ades championship game. That'll be wicked. It was fighting each other at the end of the lose. Yeah. They're the festival city. Didn't they brawl each other with older owners? jerseys are like they were fighting each other. That's right. Okay. Good. It's a stabby.

I'm Hayden, producer of the fantasy fangirls podcast and your resident lover of all things Sanderson. And I'm Stephen, your bookish internet goofball, but you can call me the smash daddy. And we are currently deep diving Brandon Sanderson's fantasy epic Mistborn. But here's the catch. Stephen here has not read Mistborn before. That's right. Hey, hey, so each week you'll get my unfiltered raw reactions to every single

chapter. And along the way, we'll do character deep dives, magic explainers and Steven will even try to guess what's next. Spoiler alert, he'll be wrong. News flash, I'm never wrong. Episodes come out every Wednesday and you can find fantasy fanfellas wherever you get your podcasts. Great news, Dean, anything else for us today? Yeah, let's get a drink from 62 to 05 Klondike days. Edmonton's role in the Klondike gold rush from 06 to 12 renamed capital X reflecting the capital city theme, which resulted in a 15% drop in attendance. The festival city. And then 2013 to present K days after community consultation, K days was selected from a list of options. So good. How much did the losers that came up with that marketing campaign? Like millions of those narrowly, we're not sure what about K days are pulled the people

right? Just just edge out sweat panties, which is where what you want days. But jam the fans and dress shoes days. Among the other 2000 submissions from which K days was selected Ed Fest and River City Festival. Hold on, I only have so many tourism dollars. Ed Fest would be tremendous. It would be better because it's actually kind of funny. It is. It could maybe roll. You can have a mascot. Ed, some dude cut off sweatpants for the summer. Some jorts. Yes. Some clam diggers are like, oh, what's going on set up to the camp? Anyway, great news. Can't wait to go watch the 8th and 9th best hockey countries play World Cup hockey.

That Kazakhstan Belarus rubbery is really heating up. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I should have held off in that news. I feel like there's it's killed the mood. The tone of the mood of the show was taken in. I think it's actually helped because I was very low energy and I'm getting a good kick out of it. I was I was really kind of searching for something else that would make Sparky in that press release, but they're really trying to upsell it. Oh, which is why. Hey, and we're probably a little. This is me off. We've got a brand new rink and we're not allowed to host and you're going to go to Edmonton. In my opinion, it's very clear. I think Calgary is a nation city. I don't live in Edmonton. I've got no walk to live in Edmonton. I don't give a shit about it. I'm a Calgary and I'm very happy to be. A prop. Don't try to tell me that it's a great city in Edmonton. I don't I lived in Saskatoon. They're the same city. There are six round robin games and one elimination game. So there are seven to the three. I would take the three all day every day. Just for the argument sake,

like the Olympic tournament, you would have had like France and Italy. France, Italy, like the the the element, but this is this is not eight team tournament. Yeah. So this is the World Cup of hockey. Oh, I'm aware what they're going to do. So who's seven to the eighth place? Would be Slovakia and they're all going to have to fight for eight. But that's what you're getting. Yeah. You'll get some talent. That's great, but I think it's actually a D move on the NHL's part. Pick a city. You know what it is. Stamp government, Brett. Where's their head office? Well, you know, whoa, for sure it is. All the union, we should start a union for podcasts. I was thinking about that. I don't know. You seem like a union head. Yeah. Let's go. Yeah. The guy I don't like being told to tell me what to do. I should start a union. There is no international competition in sports that matches the passion, skill and excitement of hockey's best on best coming together to represent their countries. This is Gary Pat. I'm about to hear. We have the National Hockey League and our partners at the National

Hockey League Players Association can't wait to bring the World Cup of hockey 2028 to three spectacular venues in three cities that shine when staging big events. We know Calgary, Edmonton and Prague will serve as fantastic hosts for hockey fans from all over the globe. And that the greatest hockey players in the world will compete on a level that will make this eventually memorable. I think the term is going to be great. I'm pissed at the finals and the semis are an advantage. I don't even understand how there's seven and one elimination game here. And they're playing in Prague, but the big games are an advantage. So there's going to be two pools. You'll have your Calgary pool and your Prague pool. And there's only eight F-ing teams, right? So you'll send the final four up to Edmonton, two from Calgary, two. I get it, but so, but how are we getting seven games? It's not far. You probably could have done semis here. What I'd like them to do because I'm a nerd on this stuff and I love talking with the stuff like the Olympic Senate and I was already talking with stupid World Cup format because I'm a loser. But why would you not have one host city? Then the whole hockey world travels there.

Because now you're going to have guys that are like, oh, I'm playing on a Tuesday in pre-LA, and they're going to fly over to Prague and we won. Now we're going to fly all the way back over to sweatpants nation. That's a lot of, oh, and then we pick up after the World Cup break and we're in Miami. Jack, can we get Gary? Well, now. So I went down there. I was asking questions. It's a good thing that press conferences this week. He'd be called out onto the carpet. That's what would happen there. Wow, and we're, we're usually very optimistic. Yeah. It's odd to find us poo-pooing anything, but we wouldn't do that, especially on a munchy. Are you talking to Monday? Eating reps still somewhat hung over and having eaten. Jack's back is killing him. I'm still apparent. What are they doing today? So is the idea just to spread it around and like spread? Yeah, I don't know. So they want to grow international hockey. And the growing international hockey and Calgary and Edmonton, right? But what I was going to fall up with that's very important is they're getting a big check from the government to bring it

here. If they, if I assure you, if, if the state of Nevada wanted to throw 15 million at the league, we wouldn't be having this press conference today. So I have the question. So some of my tax dollars are paying to have some rich fucking NHLers and play hockey here. And you get an Edmonton. Awesome. Thanks. Government. Farcus. Fucking Nenshi. I feel like Nenshi still is stuck. Nenshi is a better one. I shouldn't be mad, I guess. What difference does it make? I'm going to affect my life, probably. Who's going to be alive at that point? Anyway, like maybe John May. Oh, may God. Oh, we all might be Americans, so there's only one team by that point. That's going to be a boring ass tournament if that happens. We're very, really limited now. It'll be a standard squad game. That'll be a solid squad. 51 states of America beat Sweden 12. What? Hi, this is Pablo Torre from Pablo Torre. Finds out.
