Zac Saleski (03:49):
this is basically the epitome of our
conversations. It's just howmany things we can just throw
out without without having thefirst one get confused. Oh,
yeah, I just it's a weirdcontest.

Murph (03:59):
Great content. We have all days of discussion. It's
listening random obscure videosand random tic TOCs barely being
like, bro, look at this tweet.
That's really about it. That'sreally all we got. Which were 30
years old. While we're sayingbro, I have no idea. But you
know, that's

Zac Saleski (04:16):
although I'm neither here nor there. I'm
getting into the English Englishthing where they're like bruv
rough.

Murph (04:22):
Please don't I think I'll jump out this way.

Zac Saleski (04:24):
It's it's certain words like you treat me like oh
brav that's the new one. Theyprobably will never use them
too.

Murph (04:33):
Weird. They just said that you're trying to use it. It
just

Zac Saleski (04:37):
sticks in my mind.
It's like bro, who the hell bro?
I don't know.

Murph (04:41):
If he got so many questions.

Zac Saleski (04:45):
Don't we all Murph?
Yeah, well, English culture.

Murph (04:48):
Right, buddy? Should we segue that to your the news
you've been freaking out aboutfor almost pretty much the whole
week.

Zac Saleski (04:57):
Sorry, I have been low key just dying the last few
days as Murph perfectly segwayedon this one oh yeah, there you
go this is this open

Murph (05:07):
Did you open the door? I just walked right in it

Zac Saleski (05:10):
you walk in the door you're like oh, this is
where I parked my car. Stay herefor a little bit

Murph (05:16):
that was terrible.
Exactly. I just lost all I lostall mojo head going there

Zac Saleski (05:20):
Mojo where's this?
No Do you speak up?
Awesome probably peace for 30minutes. But um, yeah, so I am a
a Newcastle United fan. AndMurphy is a obviously Chelsea

(05:41):
fan. So yeah, you guys have seenour my videos on YouTube? You
guys have probably seen themwere random Chelsea stuff. No,
he's not lost. No, he'sperfectly fine.

Murph (05:51):
Yep. Um, I guess you could say I was gonna say I was
lost because really the onlyreason I got into them was
because I played FIFA once asthem and I love ADA Drogba.
bollock lamb part and I alsolooked really good blue. So I
was like, you know, why not?
Let's go with it. And I justhave never, never made sense.
And Zach actually had goodreasons to like Newcastle. So

(06:11):
Zack was like that dumb girl atthe party that's like, it does
look good this way. Like thisteam, and Zach's like I've done
my research, I everything andI'm like, Alright, like I would

Zac Saleski (06:26):
literally I was just playing football. I was
playing a PC game calledFootball Manager. That's kind of
how it worked. And it came downto three teams. It was like was
it Norwich, West, Brom andNewcastle? And I was like, Oh, I
like all of them. I like thecolor schemes like their
stadiums and then Newcastlestuck out because the history
then the fans I think kind ofdrew me because of my Kansas

(06:48):
City routes and those fans arecrazy and you know, kind of
worked out well then. Boom. It'sjust obviously two stadiums
named St. James's Park. Andactually that was the church
where I was baptized in St.
James church so I was like thisthis works out too well. So long
story short, basically theNewcastle United just got taken

(07:10):
over last, or was it yesterdaynow whenever we're filming this
basically they got taken over bya Saudi you know, billionaire,
multi billionaire. And then, andthen a few other people within
that consortium. So it's I'vebeen following like European
soccer for at least a footballsorry, don't yell at me. For at

(07:33):
least an idea. Let let her rip.
For I've been following Philly's

Murph (07:42):
gonna say bread you're gonna say football. Ross Yeah,

Zac Saleski (07:46):
rah. Holy rock

Murph (07:52):
that's all he calls me the day after I'm like working
on like, Hey, I'm working anormal job like normal people
do. I'm just gonna call you at12 o'clock. You probably got
nothing.

Zac Saleski (08:00):
Oh, you're eating just free eating. You know
lunch. You're fine. Eating yourChipotle.

Murph (08:05):
Okay, let's still like to do it now. Chelsea Chelsea says
I got it out. I'm like I don'tknow if they're screwed. It just
means you're gonna make a biggerrun for us now that's fair.

Zac Saleski (08:15):
Let's every every match day it's always like the
same feeling where you're like,I just hope we can show up and
maybe get something

Murph (08:23):
you even watch their matches a lady told me

Zac Saleski (08:25):
no never since Yeah, exactly. I watched maybe
after Rafa left like maybe acouple matches now it's really

Murph (08:31):
pretend like you you experienced Match Day. I Have
you woken up at 7am to watch agame I have.

Zac Saleski (08:40):
But Steve was just dead. I was like I can't deal
with this. So finally there theybecome was it they were top 30
or 40 in the world for like themost wealthiest club now. They
are number one is weird.

Murph (08:53):
And yeah, they're like, head like heads above. There.
It's like hundreds of billionsof dollars. And like Manchester
City is like a few billion.
Like, that's pretty much likewhat it is like, it's crazy.
It's just crazy. I know how theturntables have turned like
seriously. Got them, though. I'mnot gonna lie. My favorite part
was when I first came over,we're hanging out. We watched

(09:14):
pretty much how the fans inNewcastle were just going nuts.
And it was awesome. Actually, Ikind of enjoyed it. They weren't
like the US they get rowdy andthey decided to destroy things,
which is why we do I have noidea. But like, which I couldn't
get over and Newcastle wasreally like they were just
standing there it's not likethey had a concert. It's not
like there was new owners werethere. They really just standing

(09:36):
there in front of the stadiumdrinking and partying and like
that's really like the you know,like and the best part was like,
and you know, in the US a fewgunshots would have been fired
like you know,

Zac Saleski (09:48):
someone would do so only drank a little too much and
things would have escalatedquickly hardcore. But the best
part was the bar that wasbasically attached that stadium
called Nine bar basically ranout of drinks 830 At night yeah
and if you guys know Englandthat's bad

Murph (10:06):
I don't but that's pretty bad in general I don't even
think some of the tightestcountries are closing at eight
o'clock in the bars like that'slike

Zac Saleski (10:14):
it but long story short this is a this is a
massive deal and so now I'm oninvested

Murph (10:20):
100 Jack invest I'd got him back reel them back in

Zac Saleski (10:23):
so hard man so difficult but now we good we
good he had us in the in the thelongest first half possible but
you know a second half we'reready to go.

Murph (10:32):
There we go. They're pros. They're still probably
gonna suck for the rest of theseason want to get things
figured out but there'll bedecent next season if

Zac Saleski (10:39):
they can survive songs were up. I don't care
better than 1980 I don't care.

Zac Saleski (13:53):

Well, obviously by the timeprobably this airs it'll be near
the start of the NHL season soI've been getting pumped up for
that so it means hockey will beback on and I'll be in group
engulfed in that after work forpretty much the next six months

(14:29):

some lower levels of just getget some kids interested in
sounded really bad, but getsinterested in my my coaching
services and maybe next summerstarted with summer camp. For
something to coach and make alittle extra money on the side,
so Oh, wow, start that startthat dream. I'm sure I'm going
to hate all the work it's gonnatake but something I really want

(15:10):
to do. So we'll see if it works.
So it'd be fun regardless. Butyeah, I think Is it four days?
So I think it starts Tuesday orWednesday the league starts. So

is very real.

Zac Saleski (15:27):
Oh my god.

Murph (15:28):
Right. Very real.

Zac Saleski (15:30):
Mercer. Goalie can't come into a place near
you.

Murph (15:34):
I wish no I'm not that.

Zac Saleski (15:37):
Great to travel around

Murph (15:39):
write hockey goalie to in case anyone gets confused for
football goalie. It's the talkiegoalie. Yeah, but oh my god. You
ever seen that sport? Actually,I remember. Lord resta. Or
Travis showed me that there wasa game in Germany. I don't know
what it's called handball. Theywere no, no, they were hockey
gear. But they put on bowlingshoes, and they play soccer on a

(16:02):
rink. Oh, yeah. It was actuallykind of cool. Like, yeah,
literally, it is like fullhockey gear. They wear a
facemask. They were bowlingshoes, and they play soccer and
hockey rink and have these biggoals. And like yeah, so let's
get moving like it prettycompetitive. Yeah, that's crazy.

Zac Saleski (16:18):
I see. I think I remember him showing me that.
But I think my brain couldn'tcomprehend it. Like, what is all
this happening at once? Right?
And I can't break this downproperly.

Murph (16:30):
It's it's a very Yeah, it's basically yeah, it's, it's
one of those ideas that you'rekind of like, well, I kind of
why no one thought of this, butI'm also kind of happy someone
did think of this. So you'rekind of like, okay, you know,
give it a try. See? What makessense? Yeah, do do I watch it?
No, but I just see the oddYouTube videos. Interesting.
It's very interesting.

Zac Saleski (16:51):
It's like Slamball Yeah, you're back there trying
to Yeah, the basketball wouldtrampolines. Honestly. That's
like is the stupid but it's alsoreally entertaining.

Murph (17:03):
Right? I saw one thing about tick tock where it's on
the beach, so they don't evendribble. So it's like basketball
but it's on the beach so theydon't dribble they literally
just pass the ball to eachother. Yeah, it's pretty crazy
for a gradable Yeah, the the Iguess we're living in the golden
age of sports now Pickleball ismade arise like just all this
stuff is just randomly becomingpopular now. Like

Zac Saleski (17:24):
I I did not know this. But when I was a patent
born, my first year we weretaking a tour of like the local
community center in the area andthey took us par like on this
one side of the building andthere was like this. What was it
Rackable pretty sure was likeracquetball or something like
that they like one of theworld's best teams. Wow. And

(17:45):
they're just like chillin with aracket and we don't know what

Murph (17:48):
the you know the like the the playing surface looked like,

Zac Saleski (17:52):
what it was like it was like, it was like inside
courtside. It pretty sure wasracquetball. But I was like,
these guys come out of theircourt. They just hit us. And
they're like, Hey, what's goingon? Like, how you got? Don't
Don't be coming to hear me allthis confidence. It's like, what
you what you play?

Murph (18:12):
Dude, direct post. I played it. It was tough, but
it's fine. Like it's but on aspeed.

Zac Saleski (18:18):
You're a football player, like a European
football. Just like hey, what'sgoing on guys?

Murph (18:24):
That is the thing that always baffled me about over in
Europe is I remember even beingin Belarus, which was like, not
even obviously we were in therenice city. So they put a lot of
money into it. But like thesports centers they have like
they have some in Canada tolike, it's just they're really
amazing. Like, oh, yes, thecomparison here would be a gym,
but literally, like it's amazinghow they put so many multi

(18:47):
sports in this facility. Andit's like, it's like the thing
of the town like literallythat's like you walk in like
It's like modern technology.
Like everything is up keptreally well. They have all these
sports and clubs you can do likepretty amazing. Because you're
in the US. You have likemultiple buildings for
everything. So I was like, Doyou want to play racquetball?
You got to go to a racquetballcourt? Sure. Or like, it's not
one thing you can go do

Zac Saleski (19:09):
it. It's crazy.
It's very rare when you go to abuilding they even have a
racquetball court now my gymsgot it and like when I grew up
in Missouri, they like the localcollege gym had it but that's
the only reason why I know aboutracquetball in any case, for
that matter. My dad used to takeme there you go, but uh, other
than that, I mean it's yeah,it's like in Europe they have
like a like a central locationlike you said they have

(19:31):
everything there. At least youknow Germany they do they have
that in Poland. You have a it'skind of like that a little bit.
But they just try to increasetheir sporting profiles, but
they can is it they invest alot? A lot.

Murph (19:45):
It's crazy. It's awesome.
I mean, it's awesome. It's aproblem fortunately probably
explains why they're so healthyover there. Not just just food.
It's a one stop shop for allthat stuff. Oh, yeah.

Zac Saleski (19:55):
Food is so clean over there. It's that's that's
like the only place where I cango to McDonald's and be fine

Murph (20:01):
Windows pretty close to that. Yeah, yeah, they're pretty
close unfortunately just theyhave the American portions but
the quality of food is like your

Zac Saleski (20:09):
Oh is it? Oh yeah.
No Nikes to Canada just for themto go. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah,
you can date I this this is likethe one thing I always get when
I go to McDonald's at least inGermany I don't think we have in
Poland but they had cheeses it'slike a Caesar Chicken Wrap was
the best it was the best thing Iwould ever eat. And it's funny
because like I'll go there theother day or so and people like

(20:31):
why they why you keep going thatplace like because I will never
get this at home. Okay screw

Murph (20:38):
Yeah, no Are ya are like that you guys are wrapped here
just like we have them here. Nowthey don't even think they mix
the thing together. They ladiesput the dressing lettuce and
chicken and that's it. It's noteven like mixed together like a
real Caesar. Pretty sure thechicken was on the floor now
easily. They sit in thosewarming trays. Yes.

Zac Saleski (20:55):
Well, yeah, that's Thank you get right into food.
Oh, yes. That's what happened.
Oh, it was worse right? But no,it's God. It's just wild. All
the all the food stories thatI'm sure a lot of you guys have
especially going overseas andwhatnot. But

Murph (21:11):
I'm a big dessert guy. So I just get angry, like,
overwhelmed for sex but angrybut like so obviously working
for a food company. We get like,junk. Yeah, right. We do like a
daily like, what's going on withthe company? What's going on in
the food industry? And just likewhat they serve at like, the
McDonald's or the Taco Bell isor whatever for dessert over

(21:32):
those countries is like, likeYeah, dude like ice cream stuff
with like, all sorts of amazingtoppings on it and all that and
like, I think in Finland, theydid like a special grilled
cheese sandwich but the cheesethe cheese was like a patty
grilled cheese. Oh, it was likethis special, like almost fondue
cheese over a grilled cheesesandwich in Finland? Or like,

(21:52):
why can they bring this stuffover here? Like it's crazy, but
it's just taste buds cultureover there. It's yeah,

Zac Saleski (21:58):
taste buds are so different here. And people want
either salt or sugar and a lotof their stuff. It's very true.
It's weird, too. Because like,if you go to Germany, it's a lot
of lot of cream based likestuff. So like, over there very
well. Yeah, it's a it's like atleast their sauces that you've
used a lot heavy cream becauseother like most of our foods are

(22:20):
so clean, right? So they need tofat content to kind of make it
really better. So some peopleare

Murph (22:25):
like, I think some of those like brought worse and
stuff have a lot of that. Likethere's a lot of like, a lot of
salt in there, but not too muchsalt water. I mean like that,
but I just meant there's a lotto it that like it's very
filling. Like I'll go to somenow of course, these are
American ones, but I'll go tolike some, like, you know, beer
gardens here, like you know,like not Hofbrauhaus but the
other ones like that. And likethey're like I'm assuming that's

(22:49):
pretty close to German portionsand kind of some what they eat

Zac Saleski (22:52):
kind of Yeah, I'm German portions over. Bigger
more extravagant here. They'reokay, depending on the food, but
Gotcha. It's, it's like, theydon't want to put too much
preservatives or like heavywood. I want to say like a heavy
like, I don't sodium content.
I'll see. So a lot of timesthey're like, Oh, do you want
like, do you want Americanketchup? Or you want you know?

(23:14):
So it's kind of like the sauceis gonna ask you that. Yeah,
sometimes I sometimes write thetable but you have to ask for
but even then it's the thingthat completes it there kind of
glues everything together is thesauce a lot of times but nice.
But like I said every singletime when I'm over here, I love
to Ziqi sauce so damn good.

(23:37):
Like,

Murph (23:38):
you get what's great.
That's not German. That's great.
Yeah, but

Zac Saleski (23:41):
you get guys who emigrate over? Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah. But it's like, the onlyreason why I segue to that
because it's like you can getkababs over there. I know the
Turkish German Lee we learnedbut today you get kabasele that
are super fresh and super good.
Oh, yeah. The sauces are great.
But here you can get kebabs oreuros whatever you want to call

(24:02):
it. And it's not the samebecause the meat is like weird
and

Murph (24:07):
remember how we would get get hammered? We'd have the
street meat outside of the bar.
Oh my God. God how good thosewere that Oh

Zac Saleski (24:16):
we love the club.
When we go to we go to thislittle little pop up little
rinky dink

Murph (24:23):
like yeah, like so basically it would be like yeah,
imagine a hotdog cart but theyinstead of the hotdogs they put
a grill that they'll cook itright in front of you the meat
and you could tell though thatmeat is like frozen from Walmart
probably whatever meat meats notthat great no but oh my god well
you're with it we've had a fewdrinks and they literally cook
it right there in front of you.

Zac Saleski (24:44):
Oh my gosh it it's wonderful. It's that's probably
the closest you can get to youknow that style kebab over here
but they'll put a forgot whatthey put on. It was too geeky or
some other sauce like a ranch ohgood to keep but they put that
on there. So good.

Murph (25:00):
Yeah with some peppers and all that. Oh my gosh. Oh

Zac Saleski (25:02):
my god, man, what a time

Murph (25:06):
right? I have to go out and party after this and get
that just I don't even think Ireally want to get drunk anymore
just wanna eat the street needone more timer Yeah Right
exactly. Hey, whatever was thefreshest treatment you got here
Sir let their let their whateverdirty mind it's a legitimate
term here you can go to anyoneand be like hey wanna get some

(25:26):
screaming after this liketotally like that no one's
thinking anything dirty it's alegitimate phrase here probably
don't say it middle the daybecause people will be like What
the fuck are you talking about?

Zac Saleski (25:35):
Well Murph saying I'm short North Hmm I guess

Murph (25:39):
there's gun violence in the short notice I'm staying on
there but yeah, it's

Zac Saleski (25:43):
well in the heart of it. Oh my gosh Wow, you're
Canadian anymore.

Murph (25:52):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, there's the Short North is known for
it's a fun place to go party,but it is known for what's the
what's the PC way of saying andI guess it's a different kind of
thinking, different way of lifedifferent way of life. Somehow
when

Zac Saleski (26:08):
a man meets another man. Correct. Or when a man
falls in love with another man?
Correct. That type of community.

Murph (26:14):
Exactly. Which, honestly, isn't nothing wrong with it. I'm
all for it. Unfortunately. I am.
I don't roll that way. And I am.
I don't judge anyone that doesby don't roll that way. But for
some weird reason, and I do notknow why. I hit it off with a
very well, like, you know, womenthat are kind of into women
don't hit it off with very well,but like, like, for some reason.

(26:36):
And they know, they know I'm notthey know I'm not into them. It
just is like really weird. Like,I don't know why

Zac Saleski (26:41):
trying to turn you Tyler. I

Murph (26:44):
feel like it's not like that. Maybe it is like gold

Zac Saleski (26:46):
debit. But now they have some of the best food down
there. And yeah, it's it's likeit's cool. Just to go down
there. You know, chill out for aday or so. Just get some food
and walk around. Yep, it's anice day. It's it's not bad.
They have a candy shop downthere too.

Murph (27:01):
They have a lot of things down there. Yeah, coffee. Coffee
shops. Like all that stuff.
Yeah, tea. Dude. I went oh, it'sawesome tea spot like it's

Zac Saleski (27:09):
always a damn coffee shop with one one little
girl working on her laptop juststaring off in the distance.
You're walking by you make thatawkward? stare out or you're
like you can do you got realpersonal habits every time. You
love it. Oh,

Murph (27:28):
my God. What do you do when you go into these places?

Zac Saleski (27:31):
I just noticed weird things. Man. It just my
brain picks up weird thing.
Yeah, you're just

Murph (27:34):
like a little you walk into like a Starbucks. There's
probably 20 of them and you'dstill pick one out and be like,
Oh, we had awkward eye contact.
Like what?

Zac Saleski (27:41):
It's true. Oh my gosh. But at least they have
great. Some mac and cheeseplates down there. That's great.

Murph (27:49):
Oh, melt the melt.
Melted. Those are grilled cheesesandwiches. Or when they put mac
and cheese in the grilled cheesesandwich. Oh, there. Oh yeah,
that's a you want to die. Youeat one of those. Oh my god,

Zac Saleski (27:58):
your portions are incredible. They're emitted so

Murph (28:02):
stereotypical America like the biggest pieces of
sourdough bread I think you canfind and then it's just like
yeah, like literally I think ifthey could get away with it for
food costs, they would probablycut like a whole loaf and put it
on. Mostly,

Zac Saleski (28:16):
I looked up there one day cuz I was like

Murph (28:18):
I was working and I'm like, I could barely half a
sandwich is so bad.

Zac Saleski (28:22):
I started a steroid because they're finally on
DoorDash now so shit. Like, I'mlike, oh, sweet is cool. So I
start looking at pictures. I'mlike, suddenly I don't want this
anymore. Because right because Ilooked at the Monte Cristo I was
like oh wow, this is this isreally fried. I know these
portions I was gonna be like,

Murph (28:39):
Oh my gosh, they killed me like literally a steak. I was
like I went there and of courseI had some I had some drinks
before and beer feels prettygood. So yeah, it's just like so
then you get your sandwich orlike I'm not coming even come
near finishing this like thethings huge and I mean, it can
eat food but it's just like holycrap.

Zac Saleski (28:56):
It's it's like bigger than Italian portions I
mean, these are extra size extralarge plates and they're filling
these things up with you knowyour size like fries or whatever
else. And these sandwiches areprobably the size of a large man
it's huge. Oh, and a pass it outanyway from all the fried foods

Murph (29:16):
right I'm trying to see if I can find a picture so you
can like because it's just it'salmost impossible to explain how
big they are like it's justcrazy altering our menu but
yeah,

Zac Saleski (29:25):
also too i we do we do have the podcast fully
recorded on our YouTube page. SoYouTube page just type in Maple
glaze. Podcast. It should popright up. I also have the
highlights. Yep. So you guyscheck that out.

Murph (29:39):

grills like that's a mac andcheese melts. sandwich

Zac Saleski (30:01):
that bring that up

Murph (30:04):
hold on. It's not very tilted. That one. I might adjust
my brightness on that. Oh, thereyou go. Oh my gosh. Thing is
thick thing is like I think it'salmost as thick as my phone like
it's crazy. Like, like, likethis way like

Zac Saleski (30:24):
we not aware of your phone case. Seriously,
that's good. It's good thoughbut yeah. Oh Where were we?
There we go. Food talks puts usin a coma

Murph (30:33):
right? Every time man

Zac Saleski (30:35):
what is these?
These Fridays? I tell you whatthey they put me in a weird mood
right?

Murph (30:41):
Once you empty JF all that fun stuff anymore.

Zac Saleski (30:44):
It's not the 90s

Murph (30:46):
I've ever asked you this you in Germany is like pumpkin
flavor beer a big thing rightaround now or just because they
are such beer purists there's notaste to there be like no
special additives to their beer.
It's just the quality itself.

Zac Saleski (30:58):
I don't think they have I think I think they have a
pumpkin style beer but I don'tthink they really don't latch on
to it like they don't basicbitches. Yes, we we are mericans
are

Murph (31:09):
we are so it is like yeah, it does. I think it's
because we go through thatawkward time of like, summer
ends in September and they gotnothing else going on. So people
just get really excited for falland pumpkin flavored things.

Zac Saleski (31:21):
It as a thing. It's a that's kind of the situation
we're in. It's like in Germany.
I don't think they really have awhole lot flavorings in their
beer. It's kind of simple. It'seither.

Murph (31:31):
I like it though. It's good quality.

Zac Saleski (31:33):
It is it's you know, you got your your
healthier. You got your lager orPilsner.

Murph (31:40):
hefeweizens Evan, enjoy.
I don't know. I don't know ifthat's that. It's a no that's
German.

Zac Saleski (31:46):
It's all Canadian.

Murph (31:49):
It's all French to me.

Zac Saleski (31:50):
Oh, nice. German.
No, it is Canadian.

Murph (31:52):
We own this planning and now.

Zac Saleski (31:56):
We all the Trudeau wants a piece of Merkel right
now. Right. It'd be the nicest,nicest meeting ever. Although
Alec Merkel really speaksEnglish show. It'd be
interesting. Okay. But no, it'sit's interesting. They don't
really get to season on whattheir stuff. Even with

(32:18):
Halloween, it's not very, verybig. I've heard that there's a
few little pockets, or a littlecities or regions will start to
pick it up. But okay, it'sstarting

Murph (32:27):
to feel like that's like Pauline's kind of more of a
North American thing. Probably.
I don't know is like asrecognized around the world.

Zac Saleski (32:34):
It's starting to now. I think, was someone tell
me I always look this stuff upbecause it's interesting to

Murph (32:41):
say I thought you would know this stuff, mister. Oh, I
got it. I love Halloween. I loveit. Oh my god, I do shout out to
YouTube streams on it. Oh, it'slike the rest of the world. I
don't know I keep researchingit. But I never really remember
what cuz

Zac Saleski (32:54):
you get you get weird answers from people like
like, it's in certain like,regions like it's really popular
in other regions. It's like, Whythe hell are you calling my
door? Like why are you here? You

Murph (33:05):
like spreading the word on Halloween going door to door?

Zac Saleski (33:11):
Have you heard this?

Murph (33:12):
is hanging out up here to talk

Zac Saleski (33:14):
to some people about it. Like, I don't know.
They're the good news aboutHalloween?

Murph (33:17):
Yeah, I guess I guess you're right. If I'm at a bar
now. Like what's your favoriteholiday? I don't know. But I
guess like, I don't know, I findwhen I travel abroad, I want to
know so much about the culture.
So I'd like I'm gonna ask allthe stupid questions like I
don't care like oh, you knowwhat's Christmas? Like here?
Like what's you know? Do youguys celebrate that? You know?
Do you believe in Jesus? Like doyou have a second to talk about?

(33:37):
How your car's extendedwarranty?

Zac Saleski (33:43):
have extended warranty. Oh, yeah. by the
government. Oh, exactly. But no,it's it's it's probably bigger
than the UK. Okay, that thatwhole area because that's kind
of where a lot of originated butonce again, it's like I guess
Scotland and Wales. It'ssomewhat popular in some parts
of England a little bit but

Murph (34:04):
they say Halloween is kind of pagan. Yeah, that like
whatever which it's Celtic.
Yeah. Which has some nice gothere we go. You're not even I
don't even know you're you're amutt you got somebody next to
things even claim

Zac Saleski (34:17):
Scottish to me. I got them all. Yeah.

Murph (34:23):
Just like every American

Zac Saleski (34:25):
like a Pokemon card. I got them all. But no,
it's it's I've heard a lot ofpeople in Europe starting to
pick it up now. Halloweenbecause they see the Halloween
like movies from America fromlike the 90s or 2000s. Like,
wow, I want I want that. And sonow the generation is kind of
coming up and like, oh, weshould just adopt this now.

Murph (34:46):
Right? That's fair. It's candy companies conspiracy
candy.

Zac Saleski (34:51):
True. But that's the best part because you have
the other residents are like, Idon't why are we doing this?
Like why? Like, I don't know whyyou're here. candy, like, I'll
pay you five bucks to leave. Allright, right.

Murph (35:06):
The loose research I've done on it, I think they
actually said, so it used to becalled beggars night. And like
this was like early, like theearly 1920s, or something here
in the US. And they said thatyeah, like people go to the door
asking for things. They didn'talways get candy, but like, you
get things and if not, thensometimes, it was like a bad

(35:27):
omen or like, sometimes theywould give you the right to
prank their house. Yeah. SoYeah, unfortunately,
unfortunately, Candy companiesgot bigger. And then it kind of
became like, a sweet result. Buta lot of American traditions is
like, as a country, we arereally good at marketing. So
really, like really go likeChristmas. Like all that stuff.
It is basically just marketingthat has taken over. Like, I'm

(35:48):
even willing to admit it aroundChristmas time. And we're still
doing this. Like, I am all outin it. Like it is my biggest
holiday. And I realized half ofthe stuff I enjoy is just
marketing. Like, I'm watchingmovies. I'm like, Why the hell
am I doing this? I'm buyingthings. I'm like, Why the hell
am I doing this? That's like,yeah, just been marketing.

Zac Saleski (36:04):
It's, I found the Oh, God to be a nerd here. I
found like the history ofHalloween in America, like post
World War Two was sointeresting. We'll

Murph (36:16):
set you up for it. There we go. There we go. Yeah,

Zac Saleski (36:19):
I find it so interesting. Because he said the
time I mean, Halloween wasn'treally much in the 20s and 30s.
But they they found thateconomic booms actually helped
Halloween, like grow like tofold almost. So by time I think
it was oh, man, I think it wasmaybe yeah, that post World War
Two. And the troops were comingback home, they, they found out

(36:43):
that a lot of a lot of peoplewere spending a lot of money a
little bit faster, because allthe troops were at home. The
jobs were starting to be morecreative. And the next year now
the people want to spend moremoney. And then that's when they
kind of got an idea. Like,alright, let's start making
costumes and start making morecandy. And then it just kind of
built and built and built. So40s or 50s,

Murph (37:03):
there was the boom, there was a boom to children because
he got home from the war andobviously, those that are
looking to deal with when theygot home from the war. So

Zac Saleski (37:12):
yeah, 60s, it was weird because they said 60s and
70s. It was dormant. It kind oflike lingered because okay, like
early 60s was fine. But I thinkby the time we hit the 80s
that's obviously when Halloweenjust kind of took off in the US.
And then the 90s was kind oflike a hangover effect. That's
fair. And then and kind of thesame thing hangover effect into

(37:33):
the early 2000s.

Murph (37:35):
This year might be a little rough,

Zac Saleski (37:36):
it would just think last year, but I think it was
Bush, actually Bush or Obamachanged the Daylight Savings
thing. So like daylight savingHouston, and on October 1, like
every year. Yeah, that's whypeople always and I was
wondering like, Why do I feelweird? Like after like Halloween
night? You kind of feel likeslightly naive and hungover.

(37:59):
It's a weird like draggingfeeling. And I was like, Well,
that was when they ended, youknow, daylight savings. But
then. So like when Obama got inoffice, I think they switched it
to like the first couple days orfirst week. Yeah, so

Murph (38:13):
November. Yeah, it's I looked it up. It's like It's
like November 6 or something.
Yeah, like right after how

Zac Saleski (38:18):
much? It's just odd.

Murph (38:20):
Interesting. I know that, huh?

Zac Saleski (38:21):
Yeah, I have no life.

Murph (38:23):
Now. I guess the thing though, I would wonder too, is
obviously candy is a very bigthing. So you're after what
you're saying.

Zac Saleski (38:29):
So the candy companies because they they
claim it was was it is one ofthe platforms you read on the
claim. It was like we were wewere using too much energy at
the time. So so we were kind ofusing too much basis co2 was

(38:51):
going into the atmosphere andnext thing you know, they're
like, well, we got to thecleaning company start coming
out like our How about we dothis, we just bump it back an
extra hour, or a couple hours ora couple of days. So people have
more time to celebrate? Theyneed to Okay, so then go to the
store and buy more. Right? Okay,buy more? Well, I

Murph (39:09):
was gonna say because I know especially during World War
Two, there were a lot of Hersheybars given that the troops has
come for food. So it was kind oflike I guess it was kind of like
the taking off a playboy like, Iwonder if like, like the troops
came home and they were like,the they had the romanticism of
like chocolate and are like soHalloween just kind of became

(39:30):
that time for the better like,remembering some of those times.
I don't know, but it makes mewonder button anyway.

Zac Saleski (39:35):
Mmm still. Yeah,

Murph (39:36):
I don't know when Eminem started. But

Zac Saleski (39:38):
World War

Murph (39:40):
One, right. But one or two I think was I was going to

Zac Saleski (39:44):
the troops had chocolate but it always was
Hershey bars. Oh, well, but itwas basically like they, they
always would melt. I'll gothat's why they put in the hard
coding. So they went I would

Murph (39:55):
imagine too, because I don't know. I didn't I don't
remember seeing that much inWorld War One when I was
studying it. So

Zac Saleski (40:00):
Yeah, yeah, whatever. Rabbit Hole baby
rattles is dropped. We're just

Murph (40:07):
like YouTube. You know you you're watching one thing
and then you're like, how thehell did I end up here? And
that's, you know, it's it'smidnight. So that's me so many
times a day, right? It's why Idon't watch YouTube as much
anymore

Zac Saleski (40:19):
money. Alright, we get off

Murph (40:21):
right? Seriously, that's bad. It's bad but

Zac Saleski (40:24):
now it's algorithms it's I always traveled to for
those who don't haven't watchedmy vlogs I, every year kind of
go to different places aroundthe watch of the US. It's, it's
it's fun,

Murph (40:38):
unfortunate I can never make it but you should watch it.
Yeah, I know. I'm trying. Yeah,I'm trying I want it just it
always seems like such a crazytime for me at work. I'm like, I
just don't know. But

Zac Saleski (40:47):
yeah. But I kind of made it a habit. I think I
started a couple years ago, Iwas like, I want to go to the
some of the, I guess, biggerHalloween celebrations like fall
festivals or pumpkin festivalsaround the US. So I actually I
was in Germany at the time. Ifound a list of like, top 10
places and then that's when Ifound out you know, all the

(41:09):
places you guys have seen likeSleepy Hollow. And obviously
Salem I've been there before,but like Laconia, New Hampshire
was a big one. There's a placein West Virginia as a big one.
Ohio actually has a huge publicfestival.

Murph (41:22):
Centerville Yeah, or circle full circle circle that
one soon. Yeah, a

Zac Saleski (41:28):
couple of weeks.
I'll be cool weeks I'll be upand then. Yeah, it's it's kind
of sounds cheesy, but honestly,it's cool because you go to
these small towns and that'slike, that's like it for them.
Cuz I grew up in Missouri, wherethe fall festivals was like,
kind of a celebration of threedays of your harvest and
everyone kind of comes in justhas a good time.

Murph (41:52):
Yeah, farmers just like hey, we're done for the year.
Yeah, time to time to party toparty.

Zac Saleski (41:57):
Let's go right. No regrets seriously over? No
regrets?

Murph (42:02):
No regrets. I just made God

Zac Saleski (42:06):
homemade Murph.
Exactly. But no, it's it's, it'sreally cool. Because this time
of year it's it's weird betweenOhio and other states. They just
don't take a series here. Theyjust don't like

Murph (42:20):
the small towns do. Like some of the small towns we go to
you can tell they look forwardto it. It's like a thing to
drive tourism. Butunfortunately, the big cities
Yeah. No, it's like it's they'vethey've lost those routes. Yeah.
Well, so I guess unfortunately,it is it's farming as far as
kind of dictates that. So it'sjust like, yeah, it's

Zac Saleski (42:37):
it's weird. Because we're like Northern Columbus. So
you get a lot of people they'relike, well, just you know, it's
it's bad because people aresneaking razor blades in the
candy. They are still in the80s.

Murph (42:48):
That one still will still baffles me. It baffles me. I
think that's some messed uppeople in this world.

Zac Saleski (42:53):
That's so we're afraid of now? Well, it's, it'll
be good, I think was a fun time.
I really just hate Christmas.
It's it's not even. It's noteven for like batteries. It's
just It's for people justsqueezing everything out of the
damn holiday. It gets earlierand earlier every year.

Murph (43:15):
Yeah, I will agree with him on that we again, part of
our friendship, we both agree onthat it'll, which I'm kind of
annoyed about. Because it'slike, actually people will kind
of start people kind of startkicking off here in a few weeks.
And it literally, it justencompasses everything. And I'm
person like, you know, let'swait for most of November until

(43:36):
Thanksgivings. Done. And thenmaybe the last week of November,
and then December, you know,enjoy it. But yeah, it's, it's
unfortunately, to a lot ofcompanies rely on it, because so
many people are spending moneythen. And it's where people
like, like, companies make a lotof profit, unfortunately, in my
case is a lot of theft. So I'musually very busy around that
time. So I am not lookingforward to it. But well, I'm

(43:57):
looking forward to the stuffafterward. But during work,
life's gonna stink. But for me,it was always because obviously,
as he has heard in the lastpodcast, Christmas time is the
only time during the hockeyseason that my family can kind
of all get together no matterwhere we're at. So it's like
kind of the only time besidesthe summer that I get to see my

(44:19):
brother and my dad and mysister, my mom all on one roof.
Whereas before we're travelingeverywhere to visit people and
all that crazy stuff. It's alittle so that's Yeah, exactly.
So that's why for us, it'salways been like a big holiday
that way. And whereas likeThanksgiving is a big holiday
here, but actually I forgot tomention this. Oh, I just heard
the radio here. It isThanksgiving in Canada this

(44:39):
weekend. Wow. So yeah, exactly.
Which it's not a big. It's not abig holiday in Canada. I think
they've adopted it just becauseof the US but they did it a
month earlier. Like I don'tthink there's any history to it,
but I have not done any researchon it. And every time I asked my
parents, they don't really haveanswers for it either. But like
yeah, they literally just, yeah,they literally just adopted it
into To take it in in October. Ihave no idea why but yeah, I

(45:02):
mean they still celebrateHalloween but as of right now
yeah, they're doing ThanksgivingI think this weekend so yeah,
it's interesting I don't knowwhy

Zac Saleski (45:11):
but this attempt to completely block Halloween is
disgusting I've tired of it okayyou hallway purist will not
stand for this. Just call me alittle call me a Puritan.

Murph (45:23):
You don't even even know what to do the rest of the world
so the heck are you like yeah,like they don't do it

Zac Saleski (45:27):
the rest the world just like hey, just we see the
movie we saw hocus pocus it'sall we need

Murph (45:35):
I actually watched it the other night still holds up.

Zac Saleski (45:38):
Oh, wait for the second one's not gonna hold up.
No, not even close.

Murph (45:41):
I still watch. I watched Halloweentown too and that one
that one I struggled with alittle bit I missed out. I mean,
I missed out on Jake kicked in.
But like I forgot how bad thoseDisney movies were like. How
would we were kids did weenjoyed that match? Like

Zac Saleski (45:55):
the second one was so bad? Oh, I and people still
say like that's my favorite one.
Like how they're sitting in apile of clothing and trying to
write the whole movie like no,we can't get away

Murph (46:07):
any for them. Yeah, because then they went to
university and that was bad andMarnie character was completely
different storyline

Zac Saleski (46:16):
was actually not bad but the way they did it was
terrible. Terrible.

Murph (46:19):
Terrible. Actually, I will give Disney that they had
some really good storylinemovies for the holidays. They
were just horrible acting andjust horrible directing.

Zac Saleski (46:28):
Welcome to shooting on Disney. Mickey Mouse will
kill us. I don't know that

Murph (46:33):
weird that weird Disney Disney Disney Disney that weird
Disney Pixar mix kind of thingthey'll do for like the Milanos
and the like,

Zac Saleski (46:42):
what like if we use that money for like to take like
the

Murph (46:45):
you know the right the Wally's and all that. Like those
are good movies. But like yeah,then the Disney Disney Channel
movies were garbage.

Zac Saleski (46:54):
We just see they're making a show out of under
wraps. No way. Yeah, movie.
Yeah, probably money. Yeah, Ithink I I'm not sure it was like
a limited series, but they'remaking a show out of

Murph (47:05):
it. I might check that out. See what that's like. It'll
suck. But I've actually worriedto watch that movie because I'm
worried after so far what I'mexperiencing. movie wasn't very
good, either. You know what Imean? Like, you know, there's
some of those movies that you'regonna happen. You know, you're
fine, man. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Zac Saleski (47:20):
You get to like a certain No. Oh, it's age. Yes.
cynical. Yeah. But even thenit's like, things just suck.

Murph (47:28):
Right?

Zac Saleski (47:30):
It's just the newer, newer generation now. I
don't know what's happening.
Sure. We're just like, we'rejust we're now we're just
gawking at stuff.

Murph (47:37):
We are. But he

Zac Saleski (47:39):
talks

Murph (47:40):
technology. It's ruined us. We've got all this nice CGI
and all this stuff. So now we'reused to things be more
realistic, we actually going offthat what are your thoughts on
the old scary movies of like,Friday the 13th? And, like, try
to think what else? I like thoseold slashers

Zac Saleski (47:57):
I've never been a fan of horror movies or
slashers. But because I don'tknow, I'm that weird minority to
where I'm like, I don't thinkthe gory. You know, horror
movies, like stuff like thatreally belongs with Halloween.
Because it's like, there's likea, there's like a whole there's
a whole segment with Halloween.
People were like, We don'tbelieve that's like part of it,

(48:20):
or the spirit of it. So we kindof separate ourselves from them.
It's a weird like thing, but Idon't personally like it. But
it's, I'm starting to get backinto him like Halloween, and
I've always kind of like Jason.
Yeah. Over the years, I startedkind of growing on me start
growing on me a little bit. Butobviously the hallway movies are

(48:43):
making a comeback. And I'vealways enjoyed those.

Murph (48:46):
It's going to be very Canadian middle of the road from
there, but I will I think Iunderstand to the degree of
like, the slasher movies of likejust dumb gore and like all that
kind of stuff for you know,forgive me for people to enjoy
those but yeah, we're like thejumpscares I find those kind of
weird, but like, it's like Imean, I guess the only best way
to describe it it would be likethe Stephen King movies of like

(49:08):
more like mental scary. Yeah.
And like, you know, that goeswith other ones. Yeah, that kind
of stuff. Maybe I feel likethat's a logical thing. That's
what Halloween is about. Butmaybe I've just completely lost
touch of what Halloween is but Ijust I guess like even when you
think back to the old days asHalloween it was like a Sleepy
Hollow book, which was liketechnically that was their scary
movies of the time. Yeah. And soI've always feel like Halloween

(49:30):
is kind of like one of thoseholidays that that's what it
kind of celebrates

Zac Saleski (49:35):
the best the best thing that I think kind of like
Halloween kind of grew out of itwas always like a I guess you
can call like psychologicalhorror or like a Oh, they would
always leave the endings kind ofopen ended to where they always
allow your mind to kind of takeover that's kind of what Sleepy

(49:56):
Hollow was.

Murph (49:56):
Yeah. are kind of like those shorts. We have watched
Yeah, sure. It's like that's i

Zac Saleski (50:01):
Those are the those are the best. Yeah, I love those
because I leave you on acliffhanger. I agree. It's not
just a cliffhanger, but theythey they insinuate one ending
but then your brain takes in acompletely different way.
Because you're like, yeah, thoseare even scarier because you're
you can't think straight like,Oh my God, what's going on? And
it's those are the best ones.
Yeah. That's kind of like,

Murph (50:21):
Yeah, I agree. That's, that's yeah, to me. To be that's
what kind of makes sense. Yeah,like, you know, unfortunately,
no, today's world. People don'tlike to think that much when
they watch movies. But,

Zac Saleski (50:31):
but, but we're weird. We're old. We are. We're
very old. World School,especially today. I found out
they're making a that's that 90sshow.

Murph (50:41):
You ruined my Friday.

Zac Saleski (50:44):
It ruined me. I'm like, why are we doing this now?

Murph (50:46):
Right. Why are we funding this? Yeah,

Zac Saleski (50:49):
this is how I realized that we're getting too
old or like, Oh, my God, they'reand you know, the brain. There
was the people are saying. Solike the 70s to us, is like the
90s to the new generation. Justlet that sink in. So I was born
90. Murph was 91. One.

Murph (51:07):
Yeah. So that's, I mean, so probably a majority of our
memories are late 90s, early2000s. But like, yeah, yeah,
yeah, actually. Yeah, I felt oldthe other day. Unfortunately, I
busted someone for stealing.
Unfortunately. Sport in 2004.
Oh, man. Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah,exactly. Now, I mean, 17 years

(51:29):
old. So not at those ages ofdrinking yet, but yeah, like
still in high school. But like,you know, yeah, dude, like
junior senior year high school.
2004. Like, nah, yeah, dude.
Like, yeah, just just just thinkabout that. That's my five years
away from when we graduatecollege graduate high schoolers
starting Hi. Oh, wait, no, wait,sorry. Oh, no, they're boring.

(51:53):
We don't know. I'm just doingthe math right now. Yeah, I
don't know. Yeah, no. So thekids that were born in 2009,
when we graduated high school,they're going to be coming into
high school here, like in thenext like, two years. Oh, shit.
Wow. Yeah. Let that sink in. Imean, I'm not doing real math.
So I'm sure someone is going tocomment and be like, that's

(52:14):
stupid math. It's this, but I'lljust do it. Yeah. No, no, sorry.
Another thing about it. No.
Yeah. So it'll be it'll bebecause if he's a junior in 2000
for five years, so yeah, it'llbe about a year to two years.
Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Wow. I'mactually shocked. I got that
really close for very good, veryminimal.

Zac Saleski (52:33):
It's like, wow.
It's weird to me, because mybrother was he graduated from
high school in 2004. So that's,that's weird to me.

Murph (52:42):
I'm sad. That's how old we're getting now. Like frickin
the world spins, Time moves andlife goes on, like, holy crap.

Zac Saleski (52:49):
Wow, that did. And it hit me hard my first year
coaching high school becausesome of the seniors that we were
actually juniors and seniors atthe time. Long were born chosen
one and like, that's what Iasked him was like, you guys
were taught 911 Right. They'relike, Oh, it's a historical
event. I was like, Oh, God,right. Oh, no.

Murph (53:08):
Yeah, dude, it is now.
Seriously. Yeah, dude, it's thehistory textbooks. It is now.
Right? I lived through that. OrOh, yeah. Well, I was in
elementary school. So I don'tremember a ton about it. But I
do remember it.

Zac Saleski (53:22):
So yeah, it's almost went on lockdown that
time.

Murph (53:25):
Thanks. We might have for a hot for a few hot seconds. But
I was at Atlanta time. So wewere far from it.

Zac Saleski (53:30):
We were we were like an hour away from where
they were they built the b twobomber. So we were like, we were
like nervous. Like someone wouldtry to anyone try to like, Oh,
this is fun, right? 11 year oldkids run around. I forgot

Murph (53:48):
who I was talking to. But that just brought me on. Oh,
it's funny how like, there'sthese random places in America
that like we build things orthere's like communities of
like, I remember hearing orreading something that they're
saying like a lot of like,Vietnamese people during Vietnam
immigrated to like Missouri.
Yeah. Because it was justbecause it was they could go
there and so they created likethis little Vietnam there and

(54:08):
I'm just like, really?
Everywhere, Missouri, like youthink they would have left but
it's like nah, they'd literallyjust wherever the plane ticket
ticket would take, they would goand they would just make life
out of there. So like, you thinka lot more Yeah, you'd think
like New York Atlanta, Miami,like there's a lot of cultural
hotbeds there but then likethat's the funny part. But when
you drive around the US you'llbe in like this random state and

(54:29):
you're like, why are there allthese like why are all these
like Germans here like even Ohiois a huge German population like
why they all hear out everywherebut I guess they just stay there
yeah, they stumble across landthat was similar to where they
were hailed from or like yousaid they give them like as like
what the Swedes in Minnesota?
But I guess you know, cuz it'sso cold and everything up there.

Zac Saleski (54:52):
So II think thing here is the Somalian population
that too. So like they kind oftell the smallest when they come
over They're like are you havetwo options either got you got
Minnesota or Minneapolis or yougot Columbus and

Murph (55:06):
why they choose Minneapolis blows my mind if you
guys I don't know Minneapolisliterally for you were saying
I'm starting from next monthuntil probably like April. It
doesn't get over like freezing.
They're like it just is for itis just it is. It is ugly. It is
bad. Like yeah, it is. Yeah,like, like actually i Where's a

(55:27):
pond hockey tournament thathappens up there. And I've had
buddies go to it and it gets socold. The the skates they were
aren't used to it, but they getso cold. They start breaking. Oh
my god outside. Yeah, it getsthat cold outside like it's,

Zac Saleski (55:44):
I believe it? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. When I went toCollege up in Iowa, we were
probably many hours I think,probably like two or three hours
away from the border of northernborder of of Iowa. So into
Minnesota, but it was Oh, myGod. I mean it. It would be, you
know, was it one or two degreesand then you get a windchill of

(56:05):
negative 20 or something.
Everywhere. There's like a spanof like two or three weeks in
the winter time was probablysomewhere around when shows had
to be at negative 30. Yeah, Iwas like, I'm done

Murph (56:18):
the world world on the world's getting weird. I
remember actually, we had toclose some stores in those
areas. Because it was like ayear or two ago. The Windchill
was so bad that I think it waslike, the whole state was like
shut down because they're likeit's too cold. No one could go
outside. Like, it was like,Yeah, literally it was like if
you went outside whatever skinwas exposed was like frostbitten

(56:39):
within minutes. So it was crazy.
Like yeah, it was just notcheese. Yeah, it was crazy.

Zac Saleski (56:43):
Thank you, man for segwaying into what I know,
right? We got ready for that.

Murph (56:47):
It's tapping on the door.
I mean, yeah, it's 80 degreeshere right now, but like it's
coming. It's coming

Zac Saleski (56:51):
as soon as you show I mean, I know. Right?
Amazingly.

Murph (56:56):
I don't know. I just always I always try to prepare
for it cuz I hate gettingcaught. I mean, don't even try I
love winter. I just don't likethat winter those winters I
don't like like, like a littlesnow or like a little cold. But
subzero Arctic freezingtemperatures like now I'll stay
away from that.

Zac Saleski (57:11):
You still got the heat on 6970 degrees, like good.
Deal with it. No, I mean 50Other save money

Murph (57:22):
40s 50s That's all right.
You know, enjoy that you are?
Yes, here in the US so soeverywhere else it would be like
zero degrees Celsius here in theUS is like in the 30s or
freezes. Well, like so you canalways like go outside and like
skate like that's that's nice,too. Like, that's cool. Like,
yeah, I want to start gettinginto like the negative negative
like 50s or something like that.
You're like, no, no, I didn't. Idon't want to live in

(57:44):
Antarctica. Nope. Didn't want todo it. People do that. I don't
want to do it. Nope.

Zac Saleski (57:49):
Okay, cool. Can't wait for that. Thank you.

Murph (57:51):
Yeah, no, I'm not eating seals and trying to kill polar
bears.

Zac Saleski (57:56):
Damn. Wow, yeah, take it there. Huh?

Murph (57:59):
Hey, man, life below zero. Do I watch it? No.

Zac Saleski (58:03):
Damn Canadians,

Murph (58:04):
right? Well, that's Alaska. But in Canada to you
taking

Zac Saleski (58:09):
well fat to heat your lamps.

Murph (58:12):
Can you do that? Though, they had a whole like Whale Wars
show on that. Which a lot of TVstuff was

Zac Saleski (58:20):
we don't want to see that just keeps it going. I
mean, it's like are we gonnastab these whales get their fat
and read Moby oil and latelylike, actually was I think
Captain Ahab. I think it was theMoby Dick movie couple years
back with Oh, yeah.

Murph (58:33):
Chris Hemsworth a Christian heroines Civil War
space on your store. His

Zac Saleski (58:38):
store just saw his store. That was great.

Murph (58:42):
Yeah, I just kept waiting for the hammer. I would have
killed No Yeah.

Zac Saleski (58:49):
We know. Do you want to be independent have fun?

Murph (58:55):
You know what's funny? It was funny that last Avengers
movie they made he had to put ona fancy like most actors were
probably on the way and he waslike No like he's like, I know I
know what my like I know whathe's like I know what gets me
rolls and he's like I'm notputting on weight

Zac Saleski (59:11):
that's not fun because you got to put it on and
take it off and right it's notnot easy now and then we just
angry Oh man.

Murph (59:19):
That one guy that comedian did it but I guess he
said his training regimen waslike insane who the guy that's
always sunny. He put on weight.
Oh yeah, man. Yeah, he gets hesaid he did it as like an
experiment you want to see he hedidn't really let himself go. He
did

Zac Saleski (59:33):
it as a joke because he said like every time
something an actor is in aseries they always get skinny
throughout the series becauseyou never see after get fat.
Sure. That's what he wanted to

Murph (59:44):
cut. And then he lost it all real. Like I said his
training regimen is insane. Buthe was just like, yeah, he lost
it all pretty quick. And thenthat one guy from Silicon Valley
or whatever he like, bulked upthe looking guy. Oh, do you see
him now? Yeah, he's like bulkedup now. I guess like no. Yeah.
Yeah. You've been trainingpretty hard for a few years now

(01:00:04):
because he was just like, yeah,he's like, he was just tired of
tired of that like geeky,whatever look, and he's like, I
want to be geeky, but he's like,but I also want to be really
strong and fit. Let's get yokedand get a kind of like, kind of
look like he was like kind ofgetting ready for a superhero
role, but he's not super bulkybut he's cut. No. Damn. Yeah,
definitely. Oh, yeah.

Zac Saleski (01:00:23):
Oh, check that out.
Yeah, pretty good. You're solid.
Mr. yoked?

Murph (01:00:28):
You're right. Yeah, it looks solid, different. No,
it's, but then again, I feellike if you have that kind of
money, and that kind ofdedication. Yeah, dude, I get
jacked. I mean, like if I couldspend for a trainer and a
dietician, basically tell mewhat I have to do.

Zac Saleski (01:00:44):
This expensive, man.

Murph (01:00:45):
I know. That's what I'm saying

Zac Saleski (01:00:46):
though. Yeah, if you had the money, you know,

Murph (01:00:48):
easily. Well, I mean, sorry. It's still tough. Still
tough, but still tough. Yeah.
Nice to have that help. Whereit's like, you know, I can take
instruction? Sure, why not? Youknow, I mean, like, you gotta do
that research yourself andfigure that stuff out yourself.
It's like, that's half thebattle. Also, like it's kind of
laziness. I'm like, I don't wantto do all this work. You know,
like, I work enough at my jobwhen I'm done one of my free

(01:01:09):
time I don't want to have to doall this research all the time.
Especially since the things thatthe dietary and exercising stuff
changes like every other year. Ifeel like oh, it is yeah, like
the current trend. Oh my gosh, Igot away for keto. Oh, a shit. I
probably end soon, but I don'twant this. Okay. I just it was I
would just never forget when Ibrought to you bought rice

(01:01:29):
krispies before the new trendbefore workout. Oh, no, I
thought you're gonna kill me.

Zac Saleski (01:01:39):
Heads because I deal with stuff all the time.
People are just doing all theKeto stuff and everything else.
And they're just like, it's, Iget it. I understand. We tried
to try to shock the body shotthe system to kind of lean up
but it's

Murph (01:01:54):
you know what shocks the system crack so she do crack
before I'm just sick. It's sucha great pump after this. Crack
it. I do another one though.

Zac Saleski (01:02:08):
The, you know, the big thing was in the 90s. They
had speed. But now just justlike cocaine,

Murph (01:02:13):
basically like stronger cocaine, cocaine. Cocaine that
weirdly cocaine cocaine,

Zac Saleski (01:02:18):
cow cow.

Murph (01:02:23):
Basically, again, was used

Zac Saleski (01:02:25):
to but basically, we call that pre workout now. So
it all works out.

Murph (01:02:29):
That all you know, it's all got stuff in it. Yeah. It's
borderline sugar and cocaine andthings like that.

Zac Saleski (01:02:35):
Cow. Yeah.

Murph (01:02:39):
I don't know why you're making fun of it. You've given
me some stuff and I get like,like, what the heck is happening
to me? Get like the jitters andall that. Like it's great for a
workout. I'm like, What am Idoing is I'm only working out
for an hour. I'm not going out.
We're going out for an hour thengoing for a marathon run. Like,
seriously? Like I'm gonna haveto start like blasting creed or
something as I'm working out.

Zac Saleski (01:03:00):
Up to, to Muse without one. GS or new tag, man.
Oh, man. Oh, no, no.

Murph (01:03:11):
You're right. It's more Three Days Grace here. I

Zac Saleski (01:03:12):
got a little more heavier. See? Don't want to go
too crazy. much richer. No.
Okay, just kick kick, kick. Oh,gosh. Oh, yeah. So we got got a
string question last time fromwell, one of my pestering follow
followers. Oh, you should callthem that. Oh, Mojo. be fine.

(01:03:34):
Okay. Motor Jim, this is foryou. Because he was actually
asking about sports one time, orlike she was last week's

Murph (01:03:44):
episode could have brought this up. Like, how I
know about it. I got into

Zac Saleski (01:03:49):
things and segwaying and Hopalong Cassidy
Shut up. Okay. But he's no goodat this. Yes. Weird. It's like a
add. No, don't

Murph (01:03:58):
worry. I just tag along.
You're the one that's got to runthis crap. I don't know what I'm
doing.

Zac Saleski (01:04:03):
either. Okay, this is the BS podcast. I don't know
what's going on. Um, or please

Murph (01:04:08):
don't answer IPs, but that's fine. Yeah. Yeah, please.
Doughnuts, so we're gonna glazemaple doughnuts. Maple doughnut.
That's it. Yeah.

Zac Saleski (01:04:16):
Got it. All right.

Murph (01:04:17):
Yeah. The second podcast I'm still learning. Okay.

Zac Saleski (01:04:20):
It's still the name. Mister elbow with this
podcast about me either. Allright now, he was asking about
analytics in sports. Did we talkabout this already know, or like
the first time but he's like, Ilike to go further in depth
about it. Like how analytics isdifferent from your sport to to
your sport to my football? Yeah.
So for hockey Here we go. Yeah,Mojo. This guy,

Murph (01:04:43):
right. Okay, there we go.
It's really that's tough becausethey don't do it the lower
levels that I've been coachingbut I get all this information
from my dad, my brother, butbasically it would be that it
would be the typical analyticsthat you would think of in
hockey. So like shots on goal.
So they will factor that in. Soobviously, with I don't know,

(01:05:05):
what would it be probability orI don't know what the rule is,
I'm not a big math person. Butit would be basically like, the
more shots you take, the oddsare kind of like it's like poker
or things like that the odds ofscoring would be higher. So my
brother would use examples ofplayers that are great athletes
and good hockey players, but inthe scheme of the NHL or not

(01:05:29):
that top tier, because in theNHL, unfortunately, unlike other
sports, NHL, hockey is where youwant to play, like you can play
in Europe, and there's somepretty good leagues there. But
the best players come the NHL,that's just how it is. Whereas
you know, and saw football, theymight go play in Germany, they
could play in England, theycould play anywhere. Whereas in

(01:05:49):
hockey, you play in the NHL, inthe US and Canada. So he wasn't
that good of a player comparedto some of the world's best, but
he was good enough to be there.
So he was notorious for anywherealong the ice would take a shot.
Well, goalies trained so hard,and they everything in their
training, I'm sure like socceris like rapid or sorry, like
football is like repetition.

(01:06:11):
Because when you're in the inthe the game moving that fast,
like basketball across, youknow, you have everything split
second. So goalies have trainedtheir bodies that sometimes
you're making saves that youdon't realize you're making,
because you've just done it amillion times. So he would take
shots from areas that are just avery low chance of scoring, if

(01:06:31):
you knew. Yeah, if you knew thegame, however, according to
analytics, his chances ofscoring were higher, because he
was putting so many shots onnet. So the thought was the
goalies going to make a mistakeor whatever. But just the
argument I would make is, ofcourse, I have no analytics to
back this up. I'm just going offof my love of the game. And my
experience is like, if you tookthat shot 100 times 1% of the

(01:06:55):
time it's going to go in Yeah,but according to analytics, it's
you know, you do that so manytimes in a 60 Something games
season. It might pay offeventually edited, but it just
it it didn't make sense. And sothat was the stuff that
struggled with that as well asthe another big thing you'll
notice is on powerplays. So forthose of you that don't follow

(01:07:16):
hockey, sorry, let me know ifI'm going too much. No good. But
for those of you who don't havea big man, right, for those of
you that don't follow hockey, soobviously in a power play, there
has been a penalty that'scommitted, someone sets out so
it's five on four. So there,there's a man down. So the new
trend now is and the hockeyplayer that has pretty much made
his career off this, his name isAlex Ovechkin. He's a Russian

(01:07:38):
plays with capitals, a verygreat hockey player. But
basically all he does is he sitson one side of the rink. The
pucks over here. The goal is youpass it through the middle to
him and he one times it. So it'sa slot. It's like basically take
your stick, you take like thishuge golf swamp, it's called a
slap shot towards the net. Andbecause he can and watch YouTube

(01:07:59):
videos on his shot is crazy,fast and accurate. He just
buries them. So because of thatanalytics has thought that every
time the puck crosses the middleof the ice, the chances of
scoring are a lot higher. Whichbefore Analytics was kind of
known because you're having agoalie move side to side, it's
tough to stay on your anger andall that however, now you're

(01:08:21):
just putting numbers of thingsthat you already knew. So to me,
that's where sometimesanalytics, I'm kind of like, you
know, you got to give themcredit, they they took credit
for something that no one talkedabout, they just knew. And so
it's just like anything in theworld someone had to do it. So
they chose to do it. But I don'tlike how they use this argument
to back up analytics where I'msure that was common knowledge

(01:08:41):
like everyone knew that like youdidn't really need to broadcast
that you just have to have agood enough players to pass them
the puck and get the shot on net

Zac Saleski (01:08:48):
is bad enough to make yourself exactly so
ourselves.

Murph (01:08:51):
But now because also because analytics goalies now
pay attention to that so nowthey're now they're now they're
keen on that. So now they watchout for that. So it's like,
that's just my problems. Yeah,exactly. That's my problem with
analytics is it's not like it'srevolutionized it. It's just put
numbers behind things we alreadyknew exactly. You know, I mean,
like that's, that's like and youknow, forgive me like I said,

(01:09:12):
there's definitely and there'sother things probably that I
don't know about that analyticsproduces like I know my dad was
saying like heart rate monitorsand things like that like that's
that's great that stuff is whatthe NHL needs for guys resting
and all that but to put numbersbehind like scoring chances and
things like that it's it'sbasically just giving the gyms
and owners reasons to be able toquantify how much to pay

(01:09:34):
somebody or how much to valuesomebody when sometimes you know
like in football and willAmerican football and football
in Europe like that guy thatmight not be valued very big Lee
is going to do the big thing youneed him to do to

Zac Saleski (01:09:47):
win a charity European football is I
understand that even withhockey. It's basically all you
know, geometry anyway, it's sucha fast play. You can't that
can't be the be all end all.
It's it helps but it's noteverything you'll see. You'll
see a lot of teams that kind ofwill hire coaches that are
basically analytics minded andthey'll basically have their

(01:10:09):
whole system based around thatwhich is

Murph (01:10:13):
whatever no yes

Zac Saleski (01:10:14):
yeah whatever it's i I hate this new wave of guys
are coming in there like thatand it's funny because you asked
any former players played likeany decent level of merch been
through this and trust me I'vebeen going through it as well.
With with American football,it's analytics are not as

(01:10:35):
prevalent as a hockey but thereare some teams I do have kind of
implemented it as far as I knowit was a browns and I think Jags
did a little bit there's acouple of teams I've tried it
but it's it's for football alittle bit different. So like
they'll take basically anyreceivers are like Lyman's like

(01:10:56):
one on one matchups, and they'llbasically like alright, he wins
X amount of percentage of thetime on a run play on this
direction. I was like, There'sno way in hell, you can possibly
just quantify an argument forbased on that guy alone. I know
the Browns were doing thisbefore they brought in. Oh, John

(01:11:16):
Dorsey, which he was the GM forthe Chiefs kind of made him what
they were today. But theybrought in sock brows brought in
Sashi. Brown and they had a hugeaxe. Who she Jackson? Okay, yep.
Basically, that's when they wentone of 15 an hour, just
terrible. And but I guess theyend up hiring the guy. He was
part of Billy Beane staff, Oh,no way. So they hired as a

(01:11:37):
consultant or whatever it was.
So he was basically looking overall this analytics, right front
of man. And there's some guysare pretty decent, but they were
just, it was a mess. I mean, theteam was a mess. And they just
had a lot of guys had no ideawhat the hell was going on. It's
like you can't you have 11 guysout there. You cannot quantify
anything. And you can't let allthe teams Yeah,

Murph (01:11:59):
I feel like with football, too, it's all factors
to who you're playing against.
You know, you're left that lefttackle might be undersized
compared to your guy. So it'slike, he's gonna win more or
like that. Yeah, that's

Zac Saleski (01:12:10):
there's too many factors and football to wear.
Like, this negates itcompletely. Now, there's certain
things that you're like, Okay,this makes more sense, like,
this helps. But like, forexample,

Murph (01:12:22):
I understand maybe for cubies and positions like that.
cubies Yeah, and maybe the oddrunning back or wide receiver
cubies

Zac Saleski (01:12:27):
you can easily do that with just the way they're
lining up on certain downs. Butthat's gameplan anyway, but then
tendencies based off of thatstuff, right? Like, they're,
they tend to go, you know, theytend to drift off here or there
on this place. That makes

Murph (01:12:41):
sense. do pretty much reading reading their, what's
that called? is going throughtheir reads? Yeah. Or their,
their habits? Yeah, yeah. Whichmakes sense that

Zac Saleski (01:12:49):
the habits is fine.
Like, I get that, but that likeI said, just like hockey, you
can't that's not the final, likethe be all end all, like
solution, that's gonna be thething. It's, it's, and the
problem that, that we're havingthis in this day and age, I know
hockey and football is the same.
I know some other places arekind of going through the same
thing. And you're hiring peoplewho, my opinion or not like

(01:13:12):
former players, you know, youknow, guys who you're hiring
people who are kind of had acouple years of experience, and
they're like, kind of workedtheir way up and yeah. And kiss
a lot as to where they are.
Yeah, it's well,

Murph (01:13:23):
the, the trouble is they use analytics to get themselves
through the exam and get thejobs when even the guys that in
some of the best coaches inhockey didn't didn't get to the
high levels of hockey. They butthey obsessed over it. Yeah. And
so sometimes that's the problemnow is it just, it just gives
GMs and owners that maybe don'tunderstand the game, but have

(01:13:44):
the money to finance it?
Exactly. It gives them an excuseto say, well, that all makes
sense to me. So I'm going tohire this person because he has
the numbers to back it up, whichis what I understand in the
business world. And yeah,sometimes I think that's where
the art of Sport comes in. Youknow, I'm gonna get really weird
like saying like, that was theopposite. No, but seriously,
like, the art of Sport comes inwhere it's just like, there's
just things you can't quantify,like, you know, like, there's

(01:14:05):
just, I think there was thatMoneyball the movie, the end,
whether the first baseman thatused to be a catcher hits a
homerun. And he never does that.
And he did it at a pivotal time.
When, if you let if he justbelieve what his coaches told
him and just took a bunt, orsomething like that, like, do
they win that game? Maybe notlike, you know what I mean?
Like, it's just it's, it'stough. Now, of course, the

(01:14:27):
Moneyball movie was done upspecial for you know, to make it
to make it a movie to make it amovie, but like, there's just
stuff like that, that in thereal world and things that
sometimes things happen that youcan't quantify. You can't
explain like, you just, you justcan't and I'm sure someone
that's bigger to analytics wouldcan argue the crap out of me and
can disprove everything I'vesaid in this podcast, but it's

(01:14:48):
that's just how I personallyfeel but it's,

Zac Saleski (01:14:53):
it's we're getting to a point now and it's funny. I
took this a few years ago, I waslike, you're, you know, that's
fine. You want to do analytics.
Cool. whatever that's, you know,that's great. But you're going
to get to a point whereeverything's going to be so
analytics based. And baseball isgoing through this I know
football starting to go throughit to where you have people in
charge of making decisions. Andthey're getting to a point where
like, well, we don't, our teamwas not as successful as it

(01:15:15):
could be. Because we don't haveX players who know how to tap
into the team chemistry and thatteam, you know, unity, they
don't know how to tap into thatto get the most out of them. So
there's like, Oh, so now youcan't quantify that correctly,
of course. So you've got to,that's where a lot of this stuff
starting to stem from. And it's,it's starting to kind of, you

(01:15:37):
know, roll in that direction.
Now. It's kind of crazy, butit's

Murph (01:15:45):
so much so much to Pocky and American football, and I'm
sure European football, issoccer A is it's just like, you
know, it's so momentum based itis. And so you can't quantify
when momentum shifts andmomentum shifts, that's when
it's like, kind of like warfare,where like, you know, sometimes

(01:16:06):
the middlemiss the minimalistnumbers will have the biggest
results because they don't, itdoesn't matter, you know, what,
what's going on? It's just whatthey believe what their training
was like, and it sounds sappy.
But again, it's the it's thehuman spirit and human drive
like we can, we're such a uniquething that we can overcome
anything when I like. So it'sjust, I guess, you know, like,

(01:16:26):
everything analytics is probablynever going away. So I just I
will open I think the bestcoaches,

Zac Saleski (01:16:33):
it will reincarnate some different form.

Murph (01:16:35):
Yeah. But I think you would agree the best coaches,
which I'm trying to becomebetter at, I know you are too.
It's like you factor in bothlike there is room for analytics
in every sport, I will say that,but to become some of these
coaches right now, that's solelyand even leagues that solely
rely on it, for reasons to dothings to me is there's just

(01:16:55):
like, do just not up and makeit. Like, you know, like that's
that's for salty, right? Thewhole No, that's just sports,
like you just got to take thatrisk. But sometimes, I feel like
no offense, but sometimes withlike European football, soccer,
it like they, they're toonervous to do things. And that's
the one thing that bothers meabout that sport. You need that
final push, like do somethingjust

Zac Saleski (01:17:17):
need that little funnel nerve to finish the match
and do your thing. It's yeah,and that's that's kind of what's
going on now. And I've said thisa lot of people within you know,
certain sports, whatever thecase may be, everything goes in
circles with all the new stuff,all the new, new high tech crap
that comes in and I understandthat but I was like, in some way
shape or form. You know, thebasics of the game always comes

(01:17:39):
back out and always kind ofrears rears its ugly head, and
it's like, alright, this is itto check yourself. This is how
it's gonna kind of rear back andthis is how, you know, the
final, you know, to have thefinal part kind of shows up like
for example, football kind of iskind of going through that now
where how teams built theirdefenses and offenses are all
off base off the edge. Sothey're all have like

(01:18:01):
speedsters. Yeah, running offthe edge and, you know, trying
to misdirect people and whatnot.
But what people don't understandeverything. It's kind of
everyone's exposed in the middlebecause I don't really worry
about that, like all the money'sgone away from that, like the
old days and 2000s of 90s. Sonow like, now we're getting to a
point where you got people arelike, Oh, crap teams are running
the ball right in the middle,and we can't stop it when we do.

(01:18:24):
It's like, oh, well, should havedone that. No, it's just going
back around a circle. That's notwhere the game started.

Murph (01:18:33):
Just like hockey was there trying to develop it more
like, like you said speedstergame. So like, yeah, breakouts,
where they break into theoffensive zone to shoot, they're
moving the puck back to someonethat has speed and hands that
they can glide to the middle.
But now, what other teams aredoing is they're getting big
guys. Like they used to play inthe 60s and 70s. And they're
just just rushing them thebruise. Yeah, and now, and now
they're winning because they'rejust bruising people. And it's

(01:18:55):
like, so now it's starting toshift again. It's just like, you
know, the end of the hockeylike, like so football too, is a
perfect balance of speed andsize. And it's just like an it's
I hate to say it it's like thatwith any sport and I know
they'll come up with any excuseto change that thing. And I feel
bad for people that are notlucky enough like we were to
have size and all that stuff.

(01:19:16):
But yeah, then you got to havegood hands you gotta have good
vision and you got to be quickyou know like it's just it's
unfortunately the way the worldthe way the sports work you
know, there's always gonna be anelement of warfare slash
toughness to it that it's justit'll I don't think that'll ever
change. I really don't likethat's you know, that's what it
was pretty much was made for.

Zac Saleski (01:19:36):
Well, there you go, right. Murph wants warfare.

Murph (01:19:39):
Now I didn't mean like that in the pain. Now, I don't
mean like that. But you don'twant these problems. No, I mean,

Zac Saleski (01:19:45):
catchy aliens.

Murph (01:19:47):
I think unfortunately, as as, as great as the world has
gotten with understanding andunderstanding each other. We
still need that of KillerInstinct, the right word, but we
still need that toughnessbecause at the end of the day,
you do His world is a toughworld to live in and we all have
to be tough. Yeah, you knowunfortunately to understand each
other's differences and stuff isa great thing but at the end of

(01:20:07):
the day doesn't matter in someplaces you're at that you have
to still be yourself to be ableto get through it. Yeah like
it's easy for me to say I'vebeen very privileged and very
individual but

Zac Saleski (01:20:19):
there's certain every individual have that grit
Yeah, you got to have that youdon't seem like kind of running
out if

Murph (01:20:26):
you don't Yeah, we don't we just stop developing things
things just stay status quo weyou know, we the Gary Vee, we
lose those guys. Like it's justyou need those people. Now I'm
not saying I'm one of them, butbe docile. No, I'm just I'm just
saying like I'm not I'm notsaying I'm one of them. But I'm
just saying we do need thosepeople in the world they will
make the people go around andunfortunately if we don't have

(01:20:46):
those people that thepoliticians take

Zac Saleski (01:20:47):
over do not take over while we're sleeping.

Murph (01:20:54):
Now this person love charging Zach up with
politician. Oh, great. There wego. Here's the theories going.
We won't go down that road asthey say save that for the next
one. Oh, we have

Zac Saleski (01:21:04):
I'll tell you what.
Second 1/3 1/3 One shit 1.5 G'swelcome to the podcast. 1.5
right, man, Zack and Murph

Murph (01:21:15):
not gonna lie at the beginning there I thought this
was gonna be a slow one but wereally picked it up there

Zac Saleski (01:21:19):
we go that's how we operate we're slow but you know
once we get going we're goodgoing

Murph (01:21:22):
we'll get the ball rolling to shut down the hill
and it goes

Zac Saleski (01:21:27):
oh, shit written ball. kind of wanted. Can't take
my eyes off.

Murph (01:21:34):
Is that right? You know, let's make that Jay. All right,
go away. Horrible. can't lookaway. I'm gonna try to save you
mean cancel. I want to makethese jokes. But

Zac Saleski (01:21:48):
no one no one was listening to this anyway.

Murph (01:21:51):
That's fair. That's fair.
We're just doing this for forour own mental sanity.

Zac Saleski (01:21:55):
Yeah, see how therapeutic it is?

Murph (01:21:57):
It is is there Yeah.

Zac Saleski (01:21:58):
Oh, there we go.
The Heck yeah, it was. Wi Fi wasyou know, messed up between that
and that.

Murph (01:22:07):
Oh, I was a little ambitious. Oh. Oh, you look me
right in the eye. We we like wehad a moment that you and the
girls in Starbucks and thebakeries back are the

Zac Saleski (01:22:21):
baccarat I don't know that random girl in
Starbucks can handle that. She'slike, I just think it's
termpaper done. Just don't lookat me. Nine Nine termpaper be
stupid him that nines.

Murph (01:22:44):
Yeah, my Germans not advance. I don't know. No,

Zac Saleski (01:22:47):
don't always just said you're an idiot.

Murph (01:22:49):
Okay, that's why I figured that it was I

Zac Saleski (01:22:51):
had to learn that because in case you know, the
ref said something to us.
They're like little call add tosay that.

Murph (01:22:57):
Gotcha. Yeah, yeah. Did you had a disome in their native
tongue?

Zac Saleski (01:23:01):
It works word of you'd

Murph (01:23:03):
be worked. Did they reverse the call?

Zac Saleski (01:23:07):
Will they turn around like, Excuse me? Excuse
me? Yes, I win. Oh,

Murph (01:23:19):
yes, that means you with Alright, should we before we
wrap this up? Should we get abold prediction on what you
think your was it? powderburn isgonna do for football. The big
football weekend?

Zac Saleski (01:23:30):
Yeah, kind of more than 100 Born doesn't play till
the end the month? I don't knowwho was it the slavish hole and
the Dresden monarchs. Okay.

Murph (01:23:39):
So are we rooting for?

Zac Saleski (01:23:41):
Let's see, dressings got to. They've been
good all year. Their offense hasbeen pretty say above average,
but their defense has comenasty. Obviously, I lean more
towards nasty defense games, butswaybars Hall is been
consistent. They went all yourpotent offense defenses. Okay,
well above average. Okay, good.
Don't yell at me about that. No,you guys will. I have a lot of

(01:24:03):
swaybars Hall people. But yeah.
I don't know if Dresden can slowthe game down. And I think they
may a little bit. They may havea good chance to win, but I
think swaybars Hall will win.
Probably like, I don't know. Iwant to say 35 to 24. Whoo.

(01:24:26):
Alright, so something like that.
Okay, with that

Murph (01:24:34):
allow, maybe should reference the date in case
you're like right on so theyknow that you didn't just say
this. Oh,

Zac Saleski (01:24:39):
it's October 8.

Murph (01:24:40):
There you go. Yes. There we go. Yes. 2021 23. Yes. This
is your time travelers

Zac Saleski (01:24:49):
was the scene of waterboy. Or his his girlfriend
like predicts a score? Oh, yeah.
I am predicting yes was going tobe right. It gets like the like
third quarter North Korea's likeyeah kidding yeah yeah

Murph (01:25:03):
that's why I said you should put the date down what
are the analytics that you getthat right we should look into
that

Zac Saleski (01:25:07):
they lay out reports

Murph (01:25:10):
I get your reports going here no but just in case you do
get it right your your files getback. Oh, he got it right let's
get the friends involved withstart donating. He's a wizard.

Zac Saleski (01:25:22):
Oh my god. He's Dumbledore.

Murph (01:25:24):
Cheese. How dare you sir.
Compare yourself to him.

Zac Saleski (01:25:30):
How dare you stand where he stood. Exactly.

Murph (01:25:36):
Thank you. I didn't remember the whole quote. So I
appreciate you saying like that.
That's where I was trying to gofor Bye.

Zac Saleski (01:25:41):
Oh, seems like your defenses are exhausted. Put it
down to Harry Potter. I'm done.
I'm done. Are you though? Allright. Four

Murph (01:25:57):
minutes. Let's ended on 30 my lucky number four more
minutes here stretch it out,Murph, what we got that's what
we got. I might be a littleambitious after that. Sure.

Zac Saleski (01:26:11):
Not too as ambitious as the new cast right
owners. Hey. Oh,

Murph (01:26:15):
right. There you go.
Nice. Huh? We were what we Ifeel like we're diverging from
it again,

Zac Saleski (01:26:20):
but I'm just gonna use that movie. Well,

Murph (01:26:21):
I know right? Did you Did I ever ask you real Harry Potter
house was not the one that youtalked about the one that you
wanted to get they ended upgetting but what was the first
one you got?

Zac Saleski (01:26:31):
All the first one I got was Ravenclaw. Okay, so then
when I read it, I wasslithering.

Murph (01:26:36):
Oh, somebody and you're okay with that?

Zac Saleski (01:26:39):
Oh, no. I'm a snake. Sneaky little snake.

Murph (01:26:46):
Make that reference. All right. That's fair. No, did you
stop after that one, or do youtake more times?

Zac Saleski (01:26:52):
They stop that one.
Okay. I think I took like somerandom like, short one. That was
like not it was not real JKRowling. Gotcha. You know, test,
but I think it got helpful puffout that one, but I I don't
know. I kind of like leanbetween Ravenclaw and like
Slither, and I guess.

Murph (01:27:09):
Okay, gotcha. So you're between a significant house to a
to a bad person house.

Zac Saleski (01:27:17):
Oh, Ravenclaws.
Like the smart person house. Itis really? Yeah. It's like the
studious house, I thought wasHufflepuff Hufflepuff is like
the one that you get thrown intobecause you don't make all the
luthiery

Murph (01:27:31):
tick. No. degree was held off.

Zac Saleski (01:27:35):
I don't know why he was in there. He's adventurous.
That's why.

Murph (01:27:37):
Yeah, he's curious to know. Yeah, I think there's some
history thing involved too.

Zac Saleski (01:27:41):
Well, I remember when I looked it up was that
they said Ravenclaw was the onewhere people were like, booked
up. booksmart let's not gothere. But they were like, they
were like, you know, extremely,like curious and studious.
Alright, well, so that was likethe manipular that's all rich
ones. And then Gryffindor was,you know, we shall

Murph (01:27:59):
we should we should set a number if we ever get that
number. We'll have to go toHarry Potter world and get the
get the actual tests go on herebecause that is on my list. I
got to do that show out more. Itold myself I was going to do
that when I was like 30 and youare not already like halfway
through 30 And I'm like, No,that looks like that's not
happening. So I'm gonna go after30 but same with the tattoo but

(01:28:19):
yeah.

Zac Saleski (01:28:21):
Did you go to fucking universal he's like, get
your own your own wanted, likewaving that thing around ours?

Murph (01:28:28):
Oh, dude. Ah, already warned my girlfriend like we go.
I'm like, I hope you're ready.
Like I'm going to be a manchildlike it's just everything like,
I don't care if the ride saysfive and under. I am going on it
probably because it's HarryPotter. Like yeah, we're doing
all of

Zac Saleski (01:28:41):
it. We meet my dad had to play on the go down there
