Murph (11:44):
The worst part is that's like, like, there's a real
story. It's like how porns made.
There's your problem? probablyfine. That's a Hi, I am phatic
f2 50s a real truck.

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

Murph (12:04):
There's so deep. My mom's calling and should be okay.

love you. Right?
Yeah,

Murph (12:09):
yeah. Why don't you listen? Alright,

I think it's your boy though.

Murph (12:12):
I'll probably have to step aside and be the
quarterback to pick on thevoicemail but oh, no, no, we
were talking about Christmasgifts. So that's probably what
you're talking about. Anyway,continue continue. Well, too
late night night. Mommy. Elderlyshould be asleep right now.

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

Murph (12:33):
up. Zach's on a roll.
Thanks. Up Next on Roll talkingabout pulling things out of
themselves. And ftu 50s. Yeah,no. And you said the voiceovers.
Oh, yeah.

There we go. There we go. Yeah,

Murph (12:42):
I'm not that stupid. I'm listening. I don't know how that
rude. You're talking aboutvoiceovers from the 90s. It
doesn't get like they're likejazz hands. Like

Unknown (12:52):
it's about pulling stuff out of your book. That's
what you're that's what?

Murph (12:55):
That's what you were talking about. Yes. You talked
about that. And then you somehowtransitioned into voiceovers
from the 90s that I'm like, Oh,my voiceover for the 90s. Let me
just quickly text. Nom, get

me out of here.
Right. Like,

Murph (13:09):
I don't think I've ever heard someone be like voiceover
from the 90s. You know, it was areally good thing that
contributed to the movie societyand change the whole aspect of
film culture was voiceovers fromthe 90s. I'm

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

Murph (13:27):
it. Yeah, we do. Not as the one guy that's from the one
guy Glowacki and all that. Hevoiceovers almost everything now
Yeah, the one guy

Unknown (13:36):
he said like five back in the day so like, did we did
you don't Okay, can

you name them?
Yeah, sure. Okay, let's go.
Yeah, exactly, mister. You bigdeal. You gave a name who they
are. Like I said, they'reprobably computer generated back
then. We had computers in the90s early. Yeah, we deal with
the voice. You know, how do youknow that? Can you prove that to
me? Mojo sign up. Get your mojo.
Don't use Mojo. Mojo I will useMojo.

(14:04):
You can pull out the Mojo carDarius.

Murph (14:06):
I just played that card.
It is a reversal card. I gotthat in my back pocket. He will
look it up and he will prove youwrong.

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

Murph (14:17):
I don't think I don't think the Germans care that much
about this 90 stuff though. I

Unknown (14:21):
know. What does you mean? We just the German accent?

Murph (14:24):
What? Sorry, German, sorry, Germans. I just gotta say
the Germans are more worriedabout the Berlin Wall in the 90s
they didn't care about voiceoverstopped true. Saying they had
David Hasselhoff they didn'tneed voiceovers.

You bring shame to your houses. Ah.

Murph (14:39):
Oh, oh man, even though nothing will ever compare are we
got off track again. But I'llquickly say nothing ever
compared. When was it dirtLewinsky said how he had played
David Hasselhoff songs while heshoot free throws myself down.
I'm not sure if it was Conan, orsome late night host was like so
this is what he's picturing. Itwas like David Hasselhoff flying
through a sky like singing wasthe funniest thing I've ever

(15:03):
seen. was so good and like,yeah, you know, that calmed me
down too.

I remember growing up, it's probably,

Murph (15:10):
I'm sorry. Yeah,

I was probably maybe a teenager remember, I
stayed up really late. I'm notsure if it was you or somebody
else, but I remember watchingTV. It was like this old series
of like, these nuns flyingthrough the air. Oh my gosh,
what it was the most scariestthing I've ever seen in my life.
And like, it was an actual TVshow where they're just flying
through the air and they'relike, helping kids with their

(15:33):
problems and kind of give himyou know, guidance and whatnot.
It was a it was wasn't like,like a per se a Christian show,
but it was just kind ofteetering on that but it was the
weirdest thing I've ever seen.

Murph (15:44):
So my question is, is we're doing this on a computer.
Why haven't we Googled this so Ican see what this looks like.
Like, I know it was texting butI was paying attention. I
probably have a Murph so I wantto see nuns flying in the air
helping Cal people with theirproblems. Well, while you're
looking that up, it kind ofalmost reminds me of Did you
ever see the YouTube video ofDon Cheadle playing Captain
America? Yeah, that will alwaysbe one of my favorites.

(16:06):
Everyone's a tree. Oh my god.
Why am I like It's like MaryPoppins, but without the
umbrella word hats. Weird hats.
It's like like what? What dothey call those bonds? Oh

Unknown (16:19):
god.

Murph (16:20):
Oh my god. When I saw the bond it looks like an airplane.
Wait. That it's a flying No, no,no, that woman she looks at some
of this really famous especiallyas an older character now Sally
Fields Oh my gosh. Feel what theday was oh, that's not her. Oh
yes, she probably dead by now.

I remember seeing this like what a

Murph (16:44):
where's this in Mexico?
What

Unknown (16:46):
is it that was that horrified?

Murph (16:49):
Okay, why their face is so weird looking.

Because the hats man the hats are weird.

Murph (16:53):
Oh my The red scarf tied.
Oh my gosh, we should bringthose back. Oh my god. I totally
wanna bring those back now.
Yeah, this is your that's that'sa big none. That's Oh, work on
your take off if you guys evergood chance, sir. That's how I
feel.

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

Murph (17:13):
is oh my gosh, I don't know why I got so excited seeing
her but that I'm not gonna

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

Murph (17:21):
that. Oh, for sure. It's in California. What does that
little like Alcatraz they're

all they got to help someone's problems.

Murph (17:29):
Arbitrage flying nuns that's why you couldn't escape.

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

Murph (17:35):
Let's see when When did you see this? How did this come
up? Oh, man.

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

Murph (17:51):
Most people put on Skinemax you guys are watching.

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

Murph (17:57):
young boys when they reach a certain age or things
like that. On flying night, man.
We

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

Murph (18:05):
every I feel like every teenage boys weird when I look
back on a lot of things. I'mlike, Yeah, we were worried as
fuck. But yeah,

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

Murph (18:15):
larious and the funniest part too, is it's like, I sound
stupid, but it's not even like,doesn't even look like normal
flying like they're just it'sweird. You know what I mean?
Like, what do you like,nowadays? Like, yeah, when you
see superhero movies are like,okay, it makes sense that
they're flying. Now you seethat? They're like, they're just
they're like,

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

Murph (18:39):
there we go. Catholic.
Yeah, no, Jesus birthday. Therewe go. We're we got it. A little

five pound eight ounce baby Jesus. We're

Murph (18:45):
in a tuxedo this. Yep.
No. Well, I guess we will. Yeah.
So holidays. Yeah, exciting.
stuff. Yep. You know, we will beI don't know if people are
waiting patiently for it. But Iknow Zack said we will be doing
the video and posting the Germancandy reaction. Yeah. Probably
just before Christmas. Yeah, weare pumped. Zach gave me a
little pre research into thecandy. So thank you so much.

(19:07):
Again, for those I'm paying youeither choice for this. Sorry,
folks. Try to remember the nameagain. I'm horrible names.
Sometimes I forget yours. Soyeah, pretty pumped about that.
Look forward to that. And nextweek, and I think we'll probably
hopefully we'll be able to doone more podcast before then.
Definitely. So

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

Murph (19:35):
Yes, I'm doing an ugly sweater bark roll. I will
definitely send Zach a pictureso you can post it. Yeah. The
sweater is definitely a littleTV Ma. But I did. I did get
approved for my girlfriend.
She's willing to be seen with mewearing it after hours. I don't
even know why I've literally hadto get a She didn't ask me for
it. But I was like, Hey, let meget approval on this real quick

(19:56):
because it's a little bit of amature humor. And she was like
there's gonna be no kids there.
So who like really cares? AndI'm like, that's a very good
point. So, yeah, so I'll bedoing that on Saturday. And most
likely, I'll be too hungover onSunday to do our usual podcast
thing. So I'll probably come by,yeah, in the middle of the week.
Since most of the besides work,mostly extracurricular stuff

(20:19):
stops because of the holidays.
So I don't do it for then. Soyeah, so that will be looking
forward to that. That will befun.

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

Murph (20:29):
Unfortunately, yeah, I guess people want to know,
unfortunately, with NHL hockey.
This is prime time for wintersports, because football is
pretty much kind of on its wayout. Like you're getting near
the end of the season. You guysonly have what is only like two
weeks left for three weeks left.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. So many. Wow.
Yeah. So I'm saying and like socollege football is done, which
is really big here. But now NFLis almost done. So this is like

(20:51):
prime time for basketball andhockey. So unfortunately for NHL
players, they only get about twodays off. So my brother will be
in I think my dad to know, mydad will fly in. I think the day
before Christmas Eve My brotherwill fly in the morning of and
then we don't know grandkids yetfor anyone. So it's just me my

(21:13):
brother and sister. So we allsleep at our childhood home with
obviously, our parents to livein. And then we'll wake up
Christmas Day. Now we have moreof the you know, I still run
down in my onesie and pretendlike Santa is there. Now I don't
we now have more adult Christmasand drink heavily now we also
don't do that either.

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

Murph (21:49):
big feet. Don't ever. I don't ever find ones He's big
enough for that kind of tostitch like two of them
together.

Dig me there with you. That's all

Murph (22:01):
this is what our friendship was built on. Don't
pretend like it isn't anything.

Unknown (22:05):
Why won't you look?

Murph (22:08):
Now but I think the one big family tradition that we
usually have is I've always wasjealous of families that had
really big traditions of like,so I had one co worker that said
like, I think it's a Frenchthing. Well, they'll put like a
like a, like a orange or a cutiein their stocking. Oh, it's like
a very big Europe thing.

Yeah, some some countries will do that. Yeah,

Murph (22:30):
we have never done anything like that. Even though
we have family that's like freshoff the boat Irish. We don't
have any of those traditions inour family. So the only big one
we have is like a potato. Right?
Exactly. The kind of funny jokeabout that but yeah.

Unknown (22:49):
Oh no.

Murph (22:49):
Yes. Why do you think the Irish don't like playing Hot
potato?
Like I heard that one tick tock.
Anyway, yeah, you're welcome.
But I keep digressing. So thebiggest thing and people are
like, Oh my god, they probablyNHL players do this amazing
thing like a hockey game orsomething? No, my mom makes
sticky buns we call them so Ithink it's like monkey bread or

(23:11):
pull apart bread. Some peoplecall

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

Murph (23:16):
what do you want to say about my mom?

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

Murph (23:33):
so yeah, so yeah, we're I'm a huge peppermint fan. My
peppermint bitch. I love it. Solike the peppermint mocha stuff.
So peppermint bark, which isbasically candy cane they crush
up and they sprinkle it on topof white chocolate and dark
chocolate. You know, I love thatlittle bit of sugary and
peppermint with the chocolates.
Amazing. And yeah, my mom is uh,you know, she's always had to be

(23:55):
a big entertainer because again,when you sometimes have hockey
royalty coming to the house, yougotta be able to put up a spread
so she just got used to wheneveranyone comes over she puts on
the spreads like Zack said it'dbe the peppermint bark. She
makes really great sugarcookies. So you know we do that
for any Canadian fans on there.
We love Robin Hood flour. I knowthat sounds dumb but I kid you

(24:16):
not. You bake. You compare, bakesugar cookie with Robin Hood
flour and then bake a sugarcookie with any other flour from
the US. You will notice thedifference like that is the
secret. Oh my god Robin Hoodflour you can only get in
Canada. It's amazing. I'veactually looked into getting an
order to bring it over herebecause it's so good. I know it
sounds weird but it just worksthat way. So like yeah sugar

(24:38):
cookies. Were also big withlike, what would it be like the
honey glaze peanuts or whateverpeanuts? They have a little bit
of sugar on the outside like ahoney glaze. I can't describe it
but basically people are likeyeah, yeah, yeah, so basically
people are like, Oh my God,you're such a fat American like
yeah, no during the holidays.
Yeah, we are like we go all

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

Unknown (25:13):
Geez, he's a lot, all

Murph (25:16):
the funny and kind of sad part those people would think
then, like we'd have but in my30 years of existence on this on
this earth, I think only twoChristmases, we've had family
come and visit us. So most ofthe time, we have all this food,
and it's just my, my brother, mysister, me, and then my mum and

(25:37):
dad. And then I can onlyremember one Christmas, but I
think there might have been asecond one that we will go back
to Canada. But the The troubleis, as I would tell, Zach is the
NHL, you only get two days off.
So I digress. So basically, theywill come in Christmas eve of
the day before Christmas Eve,they get Christmas off. And then
they usually have to go back theday after because they're going

(25:58):
right back into practice. So fora while the players union which
there's a players union, I thinkthere's one the NFL to the
actual, they have one for theirrights, was finally kind of
worked on things. But now therule is like, they only get
like, three days off, and theyget back into practice. So a lot
of teams are like that third dayyou're practicing. So you got to
get back early and get adjustedand get ready because sometimes

(26:21):
that practice is like, early inthe morning to make sure that
you came back and that you'renot like, unfortunately, you can
look into some hockey players.
You know, biographies, and Idon't want to say alcoholism and
drugs is like a big thing. Butthere are some players that have
known to partake, especially alittle more on the alcohol a
little bit. Yeah, yeah. So Iactually would hear funny

(26:44):
stories where there would bepopular players for certain
teams. And they were alwaysexcited to go on the road.
Because they would know on theroad, they could get blackout
and no one to recognize them inthe bars. And then they'd use
the morning skate before thegame to skate it all out all the
alcohol. So those were theretimes that they could let loose
and have fun. So anyway, itmakes sense. Yeah, but again,
it's demanding we digress. Soyeah, that's like, our big

(27:05):
family thing. We tried to go tochurch were you know, Roman
Catholic, so we do recognizethat it is a it's more of a
haul, Catholic thing. Mygrandmother grew up with nuns.
So you know, it's a very bigthing in the family to fly
respect to him. Right. Exactly.
To respect the religion so we doa little bit but I like to joke
with people we're more coolCatholics that we're not

(27:26):
hardcore about, you know, we, wego to Mass and we can we try to
respect whatever we can. But I'ma big believer that if Jesus
were to come back, he wouldn'tbe so hardcore about things he
would be more understanding andrealizing people that live their
own lives and this is the giftwe have. But anyway, what do you
what do you I don't can'tremember your traditions. Zack,
like I know he said Christmasisn't really super big in your
house.

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

Murph (27:51):
remember you say go to Mass. You're better going to
Mass and I am I know that you'reway better at doing that on
Christmas.

Yeah, Christmas.
Yeah. It's been a it's beeninteresting. I Oh, I have a kind
of a double, I guess kind of adouble sided. I get tradition.
So we we used to have like ourown traditions in Missouri.
Which I love a lot. Like I saidlike out there it's like people

(28:16):
didn't really have a whole lotof money. So just for them about
the experience. So a lot oftimes what we would do and it's
kind of one reason why I thinkChristmas was so magical to me
growing up was that we had a

Murph (28:29):
okay this is the first time I think I've heard you say
there you go so about five yearsago I think pushing you back
because I'm like you're so highin this Halloween that Christmas
sucks and I'm like wait a secondYeah, we're going like this is
like a Hallmark movie all of asudden but the the tissues out
for crying not for anythingelse. And so it's just like

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

Unknown (28:58):
I wish you wish

Murph (28:59):
your Nicolas Cage I wish money you know

they're doing a movie on him. Love of actually
just have like the maincharacter is him Nicolas Cage
I'm not kidding. I know that.
I'm not kidding you. So So whathappened like when I was a kid,
the best thing growing up waslike it seemed like we always
had the best like parties rightaround like middle school and
elementary school we had thebest the best single parties

(29:24):
ever so like towards the end theday you know all the parents
would come in you have a hugeparty then boom would be winter
break credit for that but Oh,you just get fat. It'd be great.
Would you serve at it? Oh, dowell this was like the year that
they actually like Zebra Cakeswas like

Murph (29:42):
pretty new. Yeah. So like they would have like heavy like
oh, yeah, like sugary horse.

Like a platter of these and then they would bring
in you know all different kindsof treats. Everyone had like
their own thing and we all havelike games with like treats and
stuff and we come we go homewith a big ol bag of candy. And
all this is great to perfectlysend off into it's a break and
then as we're going into intoChristmas break and whatnot the

(30:09):
best thing was Oh man, I justseemed like Christmas Eve was
just That's why I actually enjoyChristmas Eve more than
Christmas Day because it seemedlike the build up so much better
right so it's just seeingeveryone like rush out of the
stores last second be like oh mygod, I forgot to get all these
things and then and thenusually, I don't know late
afternoon dinner time. It'susually when we go out to church

(30:32):
and then after church it's justweird because we are very active
in our church when I was youngerso we all used to say hi to
everybody and have a hugeconversations but Christmas time
like what you're supposed to beabout yeah. Oh yeah, like that.
But Christmas time it's like hidoing Hi doing all right. Well,
it's been fun. I got to go Go byyourself. Basically, because
everyone had like their ownidol. Yeah,

Murph (30:54):
they're like listen, we got a big family time Yeah,

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

Murph (31:09):
depends depends on the time period like if it's like
prime dinner time, which is likefive I think to seven it's like
yeah, if you have reservations,you get there early because they
will not wait for you for verylong and then they are they are
sending tables

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

Murph (31:26):
then Priyanka is prime dinnertime.

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

Murph (31:37):
You don't go to the neighborhoods. I'm tired. I
didn't eat there that much. Ididn't really know when I
started out. The drinks are goodnow. But really, yeah,

not shocked on that one. And that's how Boulevard
beer became so big because theydon't know about oh, wait. Yeah,
because they became exclusive toApplebee's. So when they came
up,okay, wait, you're done. I gotta
ask. Okay. So yeah, we used towe don't do it right now. Okay,
fine. If I can before you go getyour head. Do you call it dinner
or supper?
Dinner? Yeah, continue. I hatesoccer. I'm not that old. That's

(32:06):
like any that's like saying I'mgonna wash something. Oh my

Murph (32:09):
Why? Why? You or the other? Okay everyone I'll send
you up a wall on this one.
Crikey. Don't do that. When didlike when did that start?
There's two E's in it. It'sCreek. Not Crikey. Creepy my
fucking neck

Unknown (32:25):
sorry. Oh,

Murph (32:28):
I am I am reading Charles. Darwin Charles Dickens
I am reading Charles Dickens AChristmas Story.

But we used to always
always and when your baby backribs and Kansas City Barbecue
sauce.
No, I always remember this Mybrother used to always order the
same freakin thing doesn'tmatter where we were he always
used to only always orderchicken fingers every like five
even when he was like 1415 yearsold orders like 30 years are

(32:58):
good but not not now. But backthen. He's always ordered that

Murph (33:01):
I'll do it at a sporting event. But come on.

Like I used to always eat like burgers and
stuff as as a kid. Exactly.
Okay, so but at that time, likeis the thing like you look
around the whole like, you know,talent be there just having a
good time then after that. We'vehave like the time like 1520
minutes outside of the city. Sowe're just kind of we kind of
take our time on the way backand just drive through different
neighborhoods look at the lightsand you know, kind of enjoy and

(33:25):
then by time you back it's like,I don't know 839 ish, and then
we get trained real quick. Thenwe used to open a PRET like one
present and then get ready forbed. So I apologize

Murph (33:38):
we did that too. Yeah, I guess I should have included
that the the it's died a littlebit but then ours was on I
didn't know we're going intoChristmas Eve I guess we
probably should have done thison our Christmas podcast. Oh
yeah. Whatever. Yeah, no, yeah.
Christmas Eve for us. It waslasagna and Christmas vacation.
We're a big Oh, shockingly we'rea goofy family the Murphy's so
we love Christmas vacation ChevyChase so we used to watch that
every year with some lasagna onChristmas Eve for Yeah, and we

(34:02):
sometimes open one gift

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

Murph (34:16):
know what? Oh, sorry.
Sorry. Yeah, go ahead. You knowwhat though? They're never as
good as the 90s claymationmovies Dude, you're without a
Santa Claus. That is my shit. Iwas like I unfortunately he was
on while I was working did notwork for the hour and just watch
that like it was like yeah dothat is my shit. See?

Rudolph was like my thing.

Murph (34:36):
Rudolph was good. Rough was also good trying to think
what else out there but yeah,that's yeah, I keep miser and
snow miser do those those dancemoves and that entry? Legendary

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

Murph (35:02):
stuff so if you want to borrow it I have the DVD with
all those all those movies.

Well, thank you Murph now have something to do.

Murph (35:08):
Exactly. Yeah, but we digress again. Oh, yeah. No, no
yeah, that

was that was kind of our thing that we should do
because usually by the time weopen up one president our
parents like Alright, time to goto bed. You know, wake up in the
morning, man, it gets out. Butnow it's it's so different
because it's a lot that's kindof cut in half. It's very cut
and dry. Like, alright, youknow, you guys kind of use the
routine. Guys want to go out toeat? No, all right. A lot of

(35:33):
times to my dad asked me like,Oh, you want to go out to mass
or something? You know, I'll gowith them. No big deal. And then
and then it's just kind of howit is like, if you want to open
a gift cool, if not, whatever.

Murph (35:45):
One part about Getting old is getting old is the
traditions go by that's likewell, even I said, So I
mentioned that my brother'slasagna Christmas vacation is
getting old you do somethingelse on on Christmas Eve? And
I'm like, What do you want todo? It's Christmas Eve. Like,
we're not gonna go out and dosomething like what do you want
to do? You want to go clubbing?
Like, I don't know what you wantto do? Like, yeah, like, what do
we what are we doing here? Like,it's like, okay, what other

(36:05):
movie you want to watch? Like,that's Yeah, like that. Was my
sister too. But yeah, it's likethey they just get that way. And
I'm like, I don't know I asboring as nonchalant sometimes
doesn't get there is some atleast nice to tradition, because
I find you miss it after a whileyou do. So anyway,

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

Murph (36:30):
I receive, like I talked about I don't know if you're
ever the same I respect and Ikind of almost jealous, like in
Europe and other countries andeven other families. Like, they
have really special traditions,or it's like things that are
kind of off the wall or like youwouldn't think of and I'm like,
you kind of like that. It makesthings a little more fun a
little bit. Like, instead ofjust unfortunate the typical
Americans agreed. We're justbuying each other gifts and you

(36:53):
know, like, let's spend a lot ofmoney in them, which
unfortunately, kinda like myfamily, but like yeah, that's
like, you know, you respect thatyou respect a little bit like
the the mandarin oranges,whatever. Like it's just like,
it's yeah, it's

Unknown (37:07):
Oh, no avocado.

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

Murph (37:29):
Jack Daniels. I remember.
That was my fraternity drinkJack Dang. Wow. Yeah, yeah, so
true. So true. God, holidays. Ilove them but man there Yeah.
Yeah. And unfortunately my job alot that goes up in that time.
So it's a busy time for TylerMurphy. busy time. Tom Murphy.
Tom Murphy.

Otherwise known as the Superman of Canada

Murph (37:51):
there's actually a Canadian Superman.

Unknown (37:53):
Oh god yeah,

Murph (37:54):
I actually have one of the comics

Oh man.

Murph (37:58):
Yeah. was gifted to me think during Christmas time to I
forgot to remember what it wascalled. I don't think it was
Canada man a something likethat. I don't I will quickly
look it up look it up. I want toknow now look it up. We have all
this look it up. This Yeah, Ihave I have a comic sexual
larious it looks a lot likeCaptain America but like
obviously just a lot of Canadianstuff.

It's just weird to have is

Murph (38:22):
what what's weird. Just all

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

Murph (38:27):
Man. You're terrible googling. Just do Captain
Canada. I'm pretty sure that'sit.

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

Murph (38:36):
Cannot that's it. Captain Canuck. Captain Canuck. That's
all the comic I have rightthere. That third image. This is
the comic No, no, no third matchfor the top. Oh, oh, that's
that's the

Captain Canuck.
Captain Canuck.

Murph (38:49):
Yep, he will save the day. It'd be very polite about
it. Yeah. You're welcome. Oh,yep, this Yep. Yep. Yep. He
doesn't have the shield to youknow, doesn't just patriot. He's
patriotic duty and muscle. Andso he's got you

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

Murph (39:10):
Can you please leave sir?

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

Murph (39:15):
to vacate the premises as soon as he can.

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

Murph (39:41):
joke, but that's fair.

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

Murph (39:53):
That's not what my grandfather told me. Oh, God.
Oh, yeah. All right. I'll giveyou one I'll give you I'll get
my one. My grandpa was a MountieSo people always laugh but
literally in Canada, the Mountieor like the Secret Service, FBI.
So like he was like he likeprotected the Queen of England
when she came and visited Canadabecause, Canada. It's weird.
They've been independent for awhile, but they're still like,

(40:15):
basically, it was like, Who wasthat? Indian comedian? That was
like, that was like the Englishlaughter like, no, no, no will
follow you because you can'ttake care of yourself. Like that
kind of thing. Yeah, like I say,the UK, Canada, they're like,
we've been a colony of yours fora while. We're just gonna still
like, she's on the money inCanada. Like all that stuff.
Like they're still somewhatpatriotic about the, the English

(40:36):
aspect of them. I know. Theprovince of New Brunswick, on
the eastern coast was like,actually its own separate thing
from Canada for a little while.
Because of it. I don't know, I'msure some Kenyan people are
gonna be mad at me for it. Butwhatever. That's at least the
small observation that I've madefrom that one. Listening is all
good anyway. So he used to bepart of the drug busts. And so
he was obviously he was aMountie during the think would

(40:59):
have been, like the, yeah, the60s and 70s. And so if anyone
knows what the 60s 70s a lot ofdraft dodgers, unfortunately,
and where would they go? Canadaor Mexico, mostly Canada. So he
has to deal with that. Andhippies. And so he said, you
know, back in the day, so he wasa cop before just before the

(41:20):
hippies. And then you got toexperience the transition into
the hippies. So he said back inthe day, he said, drug smugglers
will take the drug, and they putit in their mouth. And the whole
idea was, they put it in theirmouth that the cops don't see
the drugs on them, they leavethem alone. Well, the cops knew
otherwise. And the laws were alot looser back then. So he
said, anytime they need a drugbust, they grab them, and they

(41:42):
had punched their teeth out wayto their teeth and grabbed the
drugs. Oh, and now you got thedrugs. And now you've got the
drug smuggler. So go to jail. Sohe said, he was telling me the
story he gave me he didn't giveme too much specifics, but he's
just kind of talking. And, youknow, he's obviously he's my
grandfather's. He's one of thenicest men in the world. And
obviously, my mom would tell me,he wasn't always that nice. But,
you know, the training, they gothrough the things they do. It's

(42:04):
like paramilitary stuff. So youcould tell like, he's seen shit.
And he knows shit. Like, butlike, you know, nice guy in the
world. He now just runs like ahobby farm. He's got hands as
thick as like, it's like to havemy hands come by and how thick
his hands are. So he's tellingme the story with these thick
ass hands? And he's like, yeah,so and they used to like to
toughen up their hands. Likethey used to have like, put them

(42:24):
on a table, whatever. And theytake rulers, like whack them
with it, just to like, toughenthem up and shit. Oh, yeah, it
was. It was Dude, it washardcore, like marine training.
It was. So anyway, so he said,they're at this hippie concert.
And they get a tip off thatthere's drugs, so they bust
them. And so he said, there theyare. He said, they've got all
these hippies and they can'tfind the drugs. So they think

(42:45):
it's in their mouth. So they gotthese hippies and they, you
know, skinny hippies, whatever.
He says, there's just a wholewhale of them break in their
teeth and their teeth arebroken. And they're, they're
digging through their teethlooking for the drugs. And what
the hippies did that were uniqueto any other drug run was they
will just swallow the drugs.
Because they get and so theysaid there they are not knowing
this. So they're breaking thesehippies teeth in and just

(43:07):
destroying their mouths lookingfor drugs, and then swallowed
them so they weren't gettingthem. So it was just like, yeah,
so that's just like, yeah, sohe's it. Obviously, things had
to change after that. But he'slike, yeah, that's, that was his
interaction with hippies wasthat's what he had to do the
hippie incident of 67. Oh, yeah.
No, yeah. And he was like, hewas hardcore. Like, he made one

(43:29):
of the bigger busts in Ontario.
Like there's a newspaperclipping about it. He was asked
to travel like, he went to NewYork, Vegas, India, for like
police conferences. Wow. But hewas like, I know people wanna
make fun of them. Andunfortunately, movie culture
makes fun of it. But like, and Iknow they dress funny, but like,
Mounties are no fucking joke,like they are. Unfortunately,

(43:50):
you know, it's changing a littlemore now because Canada is very
progressive. And unfortunately,in becoming progressive, they
kind of gone the other way,sometimes with and I know, it's
a very unpopular opinion, butI'm just going to say it.
Unfortunately, there are certainpeople in certain things that
just shouldn't be in certainworkforces and Mounties are kind
of one of them. And so it's kindof becoming a problem, but like,

(44:12):
most people look over yourborder. Yeah. Yeah. Like yeah,
that's I mean, they're like,they're like, they're there are
hardcore FBI. Like I've met someFBI people and it's like, you
know, they're almost seem likeretired cops because they're
more investigating biggerthings. These these Mounties are
guys that my grandfather didundercover like he did stuff
like that, where it's like,you've got to have guts of

(44:33):
steel, you got to have nerves ofsteel, you got to be a big guy
and be able to hold your own andlike, fortunately, nowadays,
that stuff is just kind of nolonger promoted, and it's no
longer no longer done. You'vevery rare to find people like
that anymore. And don't get mewrong. There are people that
have tried to do that, thatruined it for others, but we
still need those people in theworld, as well as we need the
other end of the spectrumunderstanding and all that stuff

loaded with the ones that were politically
charged. Yeah, exactly. are notgood reasons.

Murph (45:01):
Or unfortunately when a politician promises change it's
because they're going to dosomething hardcore that does
that. But anyway, whatever Igrew we're in the holiday season
supposedly so the nice holidayYeah, I got my soapbox. I
apologize. I get your fellowabout I just get very I get very
passionate about this stuff. Butyeah, that's that's my that's my
problem. No anyone else's. But Idon't we gotta go back to now

(45:23):
you got your Christmas shoppingdone. Well, I'll go into
everybody. Have you go shoppingdone? I have not so I'll answer
that one. Oh,

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

Murph (45:53):
he's a lot. I've seen it.
Yeah, it's it's actually Zacklet me steal some things because
he just has so much I don't eventhink he realized exactly.

Well, it's really I mean it. I've gotten him stuff
in the past. Like it's nice forstuff like he's a Giants fan.
I've gotten them like somegiants Nike gear, like Team
issued type stuff. And it andeven was it two years ago, I
bought him like a huge pack ofsocks. Like he's a Giants fan.
Yeah. Continues. Yeah, it's so Ilook, I look at his socks. And
like, he has a bunch of holes.
And I was like, you know, buyingsome socks. I bought a bunch of

(46:21):
socks a couple years ago. Andand I think maybe what a mature
gift for exactly four or fivemonths later, they're still in
original packaging. I'm like,alright. Alright, Jared, I'm not
gonna get you anything. Youknow, until you figure your
stuff out.

Murph (46:36):
My brother's like that.
And um, but unfortunately,unlike your brother, my brother
has a finer taste for the thingsin life because obviously he has
the money for it. So we have tobuy him nice gifts. Like really
nice gifts. So I think I oncebought him like, four or $500
backpack thinking it'd besomething he like, found in his
frickin closet at our house. Sonow I use it because he's not
doing anything with like, thenice to me backpack and I'm

(46:58):
like, what, like, and I rememberlike going I was like, so proud
of it. I did research and likethere's other NHL players
wearing it. And I was like, thiswill be awesome. Just know, he
just doesn't doesn't he doesn'twant a backpack yet. So

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

Murph (47:29):
Hot, hot take then we'll ask here. Yeah. Your thoughts on
gift cards on Christmas? Giftcards or cash? What is your
thoughts on that?

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

Murph (48:01):
I guess it's obviously it's per person what they enjoy,
but I'll be frankly honest, Ifind your dogs freaking out.
Yeah, I find gift cards andcash. Just not really big on it.
I think it's good for birthdaysand like other things outside of
that. But for some reason, Iguess I'm too commercialized
Americanize with Christmas likethrough like a box of something

(48:22):
like that's why I include giftreceipts. Because in my mind,
it's like I've thought of you.
Here's something I think youwould like if you don't like it,
return it, take the cash, getsomething you want. Now, of
course, I'm not buying somethingstupid for the cash of it. I
would just like, think about youa little bit. Try to buy you
something and include the giftreceipt. So I don't know why.
And I know everyone's different.
I just didn't know people likewhy would you do that? You give

(48:43):
them cash or gift cards whatthey want? And I'm like, Yeah,
but I don't know. There'ssomething about seeing that
small thing in the morning ofChristmas. They're kind of like,
What the fuck is this? Done?
Like, you did the bare minimumyou went to a store or whatever
and you got now you know if Iknow my friends well enough, I
would do that. But like, I thinkfor Christmas, I try not to
everything else. I will. ButChristmas. I try not to just
because like, you want to seesomething the day of Christmas.

(49:04):
Yeah, sounds weird, but playwith something or build
something or read something or abit like whatever. I don't know
that. You know, that's like,it's that's kind of where I'm
at.

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

Murph (49:30):
Oh, yeah, that's yeah, it's not fun even when your gift
givers not fun.

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

Murph (49:37):
you know what, I guess I guess I should be a degenerate
gambler because there issomething fun about thinking
you've pegged something, butyou're not sure and you still
get it. And you see what theresponse is? Sure. My family we
have a lot of laughs on some ofour guests. One year, our algo
quick, maybe we should save thisfor the before Christmas
podcast. But I will say this. Mybest stories was one year my dad

(49:59):
I Don't know if he had enough ofwith it, or he just didn't have
time to get it. He would wrap hewould wrap boxes, and we'd open
it. And there'll be pictures ofthings inside. And we would have
to guess what it was that he hadgotten us but it didn't arrive
in time. So he literally put apicture one day, one year, he
put a picture of the goalie hisname was Ron tug. Now he has a

(50:20):
Columbus Blue Jacket, goalie aswell as some other teams. Yeah.
And full goalie. And so I waslike, What is this? Like? What?
Like, what? And he's like, he'slike, I got you something for
Christmas. Now, I want you toguess. I swear, I went through
every article of padding thatgoalie had it, my dad would go,
nope. But do you want it? And Igo, No, no, no, like, I'm just

(50:43):
trying to figure this out. Itended up being a helmet. But he
didn't tell me that. But whathappened was he got a helmet and
was a custom helmet. So it justdidn't arrive in time for
Christmas. So instead, hewrapped a box with a newspaper
clipping of him to let me knowthat I was getting a helmet

(51:06):
I mean, I love I love myparents. I love my dad. I know
what he was trying to do and sayyou're trying but it was Oh my
god. You like the damn Exactly.
It was like get it. Funniestthing. No, no, I knew it was
coming. But it was like one ofthose things. That's good. But
it was like one of those thingswhere it was like, it was just,
it was just funny because hedidn't give any other hints. It
was just a picture of a goalieand if you've seen a hockey
goalie, I thought justprotector. I thought gloves, I

(51:28):
thought pads, the man himself,right. And I was so young. I
didn't know when you need toreplace equipment. Like I would
just wear equipment until I justneeded my dad was like, I got
your new stuff. Yeah. So it wasjust funny literally naming all
the gear on the goalie and mydad being like, oh, no, do you
want it? And I'm like, No, I'mlike, I just, I'm trying to
figure out what you got me.

(51:49):
Like, I don't know, like,

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

Murph (51:55):
Right? Exactly. It's just like any like, yeah, you're no,
you're you already have enoughChristmas gifts. You're like,
this is amazing, but like, Ijust want to figure out what it
is. I don't know what it is. Soanyway, I have that goalie
helmet still to this day. Idon't use it, but I have it in
my display.

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

Murph (52:22):
Good question. pads. So the things you wear on your
legs. I understand your gloves.
That's Yes, helmets. No, thoseare very personal. It's kind of
a tradition. If you go to likethe Hockey Hall of Fame. I
actually found out there's oneNew York I need to go see. I
didn't know that. I'm a horriblehockey fan. No, but I've been to
the one in Toronto. I've donethat. That's the Mecca. That's
that's the one you go to. Butthere's one in New York as well.

(52:43):
Oh, it's more like an NHL one.
The real one is in Toronto. Butthey actually have a whole whole
room full of old goalie masks.
And yeah, since like, you canalmost think of it since like,
the dawn of the goalie mask theyjust started decided well, at
the dawn they know someone tolook it up with goalie masks
first came out. They didn'tpaint them they were leather and

(53:03):
all that. But then when theystart coming out with like the
plastic, whatever ones they had,they came up with ideas to paint
them and you know, they weren'talways team related. There's
actually a really famous NewYork one I think it's maybe it's
Giles Go Bears something likethat can't remember, this guy
was nuts hockey goalies areknown to be nuts. And this guy
was nuts. But this guy probablywould have been a good leader

(53:25):
and a call. This guy was like,like, you know, when people
like, I don't know how they dobut you know, when people
pretend they tapped into theirprevious lives, like the Buddha
thing, like people like we'relike, I used to be this in a
previous life like, yeah, like,I don't know how people do that.
But apparently they do. I assumethey just smoke a buttload of
pot. I don't know. Maybe someLSD. Yeah, I don't know. But
anyway, this guy did it. And forsome reason, out of everything

(53:49):
he could have been in a previouslife. He claims he was a lion in
the gladiator ring. So hepainted his goalie mask as a
lion. Wow. And that was hisgoalie mask. Like other guys did
like, you know other guys didlike the Empire State Building
or like Gary Cheevers, who was areally good goalie for Boston

(54:11):
did stitches every time he gothit in the face. He put like a
stitch on his mask. Like they docool stuff like that. This guy
and the guy we were on the linemass was cool. It was just so
random. And the guy was so weirdthat quickly look it up. You got
to see it's really interesting.
Well, I guess Giles goo bearGilberto's gi lb RT. And then

(54:32):
NATO energy I feel better. Now.
G so g i

LGL. Yeah, be jlb RT

Murph (54:45):
oh my gosh, I gotta wait.
Maybe I got it. Right. Goimages. Yay. No, he's a goalie.
I don't think he's nine. He'snot the one I'm thinking. Who is
this guy? It's not him. Oh, no,it is always a Boston boy. My
bad. Look up. Now. Look upRangers lion mask he's a Rangers
Go I know people are oh my god,your Rangers Tyler. Oh my god. I
know there it is. That's it.

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

Murph (55:12):
Gillis Gratton was doing Yeah, whatever kind of clothes.
And you see like the skull onedown there. Like like, you know,
there was some there was someinteresting ones and they also
came up with the idea to pay totry and like scare shooters. But
yeah, and then they came up withweird designs. There's a guy for
the penguins that did like areally weird mouthpiece on his
and like, it became kind of likegoalie art. But anyway, yeah, so

(55:36):
no, sorry I digress. The masksyet the masks. Yeah, you'll be
lucky to get one of those.
Usually if you get one it'sbecause they're usually doing it
for a good good like a charity.
Or nowadays, they get so manymasks painted that like the wood
apart was some the most goalieskeep at least a few of their
masks. Oh, good for display. Andthen you know, sticks you can

(55:57):
easily get most hockey playersunless it's something rare. Most
hockey players don't care aboutgiving their sticks. Oh, yeah.

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

Murph (56:09):
Now. No, I can do a pretty good charity. They're
pretty good at that. Luckily,nowadays, I don't know about
football, but nowadays the waythey make equipment, especially
in hockey, it's kind of meant tobe you need to buy a lot of it.
Like goalies go through pads somuch now like it's crazy. But as
your job is cheaper. We keepdigressing. We will talk about
Christmas and we're back onhockey. Oh, yeah. I know the

(56:29):
football pads are they're meantto be. They're built to last
right? Because those things getcould get broken easily with the
way you guys hit.

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

Murph (56:45):
okay, at least you see that old picture that guy
testing a helmet where he threwhimself into a wall headfirst.
That's how they do.

They just they tried to make sure like the high
school and let me club theydidn't really do it but mainly
high school they do this everysingle year, they just send it
to a supplier to make sure thateverything's all rounded off
properly. There's no major dentsor any holes that they can just
like kind of like basically fillin the holes and try to like

(57:15):
rebuff everything to make surethings are good but there's
holes on the helmets at leastreally but then you're sorry
fromwhere I've never seen a hole in
the helmet or the scratch likedeep. Sometimes you can have
like from like the face maskkidding. Yeah,
it can get pretty bad but thenshoulder pads I'm not sure
either the recondition those Ithink they just make sure like
they're properly fluffed. Okay,so just make sure there's

(57:38):
there's more padding in there sowhen you do come new collision,
there's no issue but that's kindof like the only thing they
really do. Okay, those are themajor ones but

Murph (57:46):
I realize it's not like a ton of padding for football.
It's mostly just shoulder andhead like yeah, they've got
stuff for the legs but like Iknow a lot of you told me a lot
of guys don't wear that stuff.
So

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

Murph (58:03):
when you get hit in the leg you'll get like a dead like
but whatever maybe you do andyou just run it off I don't know
honestly some of those tacklesit like goes right into their
like quad and I'm like oh mygosh quad

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

Murph (58:28):
sex never on the ground and football

you starting fights to do what I do.

Murph (58:36):
Alright, so you have to admit because when I briefly
played lacrosse at Jerome therethose helmets were sick the gold
of the green gold like that wasawesome he did that with some
sick helmets they're still thesame if I'm right well yeah cuz
we've always been gold I thinkthey now just throw that logo on
it but what I liked when youguys played was it just did
solid gold almost like a NotreDame and they did a green slip

(58:57):
stripe down the middle I believe

we know we had a just solid gold green facemask
and then we had the the Celticbecause we were not Catholic not
all around the pride stickers.
Yeah. But we were we were calledsure you guys know us but our
high school we are calledCeltic's Yep. Now Celtics
Celtic'scan't make that mistake Nope.
Nope. Celtic Warrior on DublinCeltic's?

(59:21):
I remember they tried to copyNotre Dame so bad that are too
rich. They they came in and likethe biggest hit of the like the
last week game they had thisthis stick and like this is this
is a stick for the hardest hitfrom lots of the prior week is
called the Golden chalet. I waslike,

Murph (59:40):
That's Notre Dame. Oh, my God. And we had the bagpipes
playing when they walk in Iremember I didn't go to many
high school football games whenI did I remember that. And then
we also had the we'd like copiedso many things. And with the
victory bell I think to

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

Murph (59:57):
so it's why everyone just played the victory bagpipes.
Have you played a major play?
I'm out? Like, I don't know. Butwe did have the bagpipes. I
remember that did we bringbrought a live person in to do
that? Right?

Zac Saleski (01:00:07):
You actually there was a volunteer guide, like who
was part of like the, I don'tknow, a Scottish funny person.
The

Murph (01:00:13):
only thing did football games. He didn't do anything
else. Yeah.

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

Murph (01:00:19):
Oh, you're good at lacrosse? Yeah, I didn't play
long enough to get there. Yeah,it was too easy for me.

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

Murph (01:00:47):
I will give that though.
What I like what the NHL teamsdo and I don't know if some of
them are kind of dumb. But Ilike like Arizona did it when my
brother was playing for them.
They did like a WWE belt. But itwas the gay I like that. That
sounds fun when you make it funnow, New York got stupid in New
York does like a fashion hat. Soit's like who's that singer that

(01:01:08):
like made that really popular?
The big buffalo looking hat.
He's saying cuz I'm happy ridingalong. For Oh, yeah. So they'll
do like a hat like that in NewYork. And I'm like, Georgia.
Yeah, but it's supposed to bemore trendy. And so it's just
stupid. I like what I don't mindis when I played we did like odd

(01:01:29):
time like the hardhat which waslike a construction workers hat
like kind of made a little bitof sense and we put stickers on
every time we won like that waskind of fun. You know?
Unfortunately hockey tried.
Fortunately, football had greattraditions I'll get football
that and then we hockey's triedto copy a little bit. It's kinda
like, that's not the sport to dothat, like football makes more
sense. You guys have one game aweek. No offense, but like that
makes sense. Hockey. It's likeyou're playing three to four

(01:01:52):
times a week. Like you're gonnadivvy that thing out three or
four times a week like kind ofcrazy, but at least the belt
made sense. But then every theseother things they do now is like
so like, the Winnipeg Jets inCanada do like a Air Force
helmet, which kind of makessense. It's kind of cool. That's
cool. I'm trying to think of thesome of the really weird ones
I've seen. But the New York oneis probably the Calgary

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

Murph (01:02:20):
Calgary might be a cowboy hat just because I know the
Canadian fans are probably gonnaget pissed. But like to think
Calgary is almost like the Texasof Canada but not as weird if
that makes sense. Like, sothey're like gun toting rights
aren't as crazy, but there's alot of like cowboys and stuff in
Calgary. That's cool. Yeah, soour admin been Alberta. That's
where Calgary is the province ofAlberta, which

Edmonton just drinks a couple shots of oil.

Murph (01:02:44):
Well, just Yeah. It's like an oil down there. Yeah.
Yeah. But

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

Murph (01:02:57):
Right? Yeah, I'm just gonna leave now.

So Taylor Hall got out.

Murph (01:03:01):
You know what? Houston had the Oilers? That's true.
Yeah. So don't make fun of themso badly. Man, they

had a great coach.

Murph (01:03:07):
Did they really? Oh, they suck. No, they were good. Did
they have a winless season no

they they Houston Oilers were good that how they
move Why did they move I don'teven know the history on that
one. Now they move to otherTitans

Murph (01:03:19):
Yeah, so why they move Tennessee?

They're that good.
Oh, man. Houston might have beenmight have been stadium issues.
And then I think Nashville cameas well built stadium Hill how
would that is I actually thatold Houston Superdome still
there no way still the addedyeah abandoned but still there
right that is man that is atreasure but that they will not

(01:03:43):
knock down may

Murph (01:03:46):
surprise ever turned into like I like when they turn old
stadiums or arenas into likewhat's it called museums? Yeah,
I always find it funny. Likeyou're not gonna tear it down
just turn to the museum paypeople like people like hockey,
football whatever like sports ingeneral. People have nostalgia
for that stuff they want to gosee it like oh definitely make
some money off it.

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

Murph (01:04:11):
Oh like the we went when we went to the NFL Hall of Fame
like the field they built therefor the Hall of Fame Game but
then the high school team playsout there every once in a while
like

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

Murph (01:04:28):
Bishop Sycamore

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

Murph (01:04:48):
I know. Sorry. I'm playing with your bottle opener
thing. Okay. Ban we werehounded. I feel like I feel it
today was just over an hour ofjust going off topic on
everything.

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

Murph (01:05:03):
being 21 and over 18 in some areas

Unknown (01:05:08):
Oh, wow. Yeah,

that's what she said.

Murph (01:05:11):
Well, I just more meant for the drinking you have sick
pervert. Okay. Being serious 21Here 18 in Canada? Yeah. 18 cat
that 18 year for 17

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

Unknown (01:05:30):
I think that'd be bad.

Murph (01:05:32):
Well suddenly start to like it. No, I guess not.
Because they seem to like it. Sothen when they have the alcohol,
they're like, this is likenothing. Yeah, no, I think
that'd be different because thenthe alcohol would hit them and
they'd be like, Oh, shit.

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

Murph (01:05:46):
I guess. More they just not big deal. Whereas here in
the US, it's so it's so shunthat, that people like it's
like, premarital sex. We don'twe don't like that. We're in
America.

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

Murph (01:06:04):
Nine you speak German?
I've heard it never spoke Germanto me.

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

Murph (01:06:17):
I know. A little bit of no debt. No, that's right. It
was the Nazis. not German. Okay.
Okay. I was like I thought tooka little bit of place in Germany
because the borders there butno, say the Nazis on German.
Well, like I was gonna sayGermany, but then I was like,
No, it's the Nazis were inAustria. So nevermind. Yeah.
Yeah, I thought it I thoughttransition to

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

Murph (01:06:40):
I thought it was Yeah, I know history. I thought it was I
thought it transition to Germanyat some point the thing I
realized enough Germans werethere you thought it was but it
wasn't. That's wrong. Yeah.

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

Murph (01:06:58):
You ever see that Family Guy joke on that where showed a
nun had decapitated one of them?
It was like, I didn't start thiswar, but I'm gonna end like oh
my god. Like joke about themusic when they cut the brake
lines. And the ones like I saidto and it shows someone's head.
Like, oh my God. God, it's like,the guy was it's different.

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

Murph (01:07:25):
Oh, that weird skinny homeless guy. Yeah. I can't
watch that. I can't watch thatmuch of that sunny but I just
see the odd clips. I'm okay with

that dry humor, man.

Murph (01:07:36):
It's too much awkward humor for me. Yeah, I'm not
weird individual that like whenI like. Like, I watch a movie. I
get cringy watching it. Likemost people can watch a big it's
a movie. I don't feel weird. Ilike feel for them. So something
weird will happen. And I reallyhave to close my eyes. And I'm
like, I can't experience this.
Like, I get weird and anxietyand all that we're like with
them. Like I'm like, this isawful. I get I can't think of a

(01:07:56):
thing. I can't think of a recentexample. But there's just times
where that'll happen or like, Ithink it's also why can't watch
musical is because like, it'llbe like a normal scene. That's a
movie you're like, Okay, great.
And the next thing you know,they're like, and we're doing
podcasts and they're doing thisand I'm like, What the hell like
this doesn't require song anddance right now. Like what is

(01:08:17):
this? I mean, that being said,I'll probably go see the new
West Side Story, but like, likewhat is this going on?

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

Murph (01:08:27):
I never got into high school musical. I know they got
really big way never did.
Especially when they sing we'reall in this together. I
basically I cringed and Icouldn't watch it.

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

Murph (01:08:41):
I'm cringing again.

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

Murph (01:08:51):
when you're trying to Loki smoke weed but not no
wonder why did Jane are like weknow what you're doing this

Unknown (01:08:59):
shoot the outside.
Yeah, yeah, well,

Murph (01:09:01):
you know they're going outside to shoot a J Yeah,
they're doing

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

Murph (01:09:10):
Do you know we were just happy to survive past y2k So we
were seeing you in drugs and

all that time everyone was angry at George
Bush with everything else so nowthan they were all just
listening to the idea the punkmusic the whole time the puck

Murph (01:09:26):
the puck and the Dixie Chicks

being angry that

Murph (01:09:30):
hey, they saved that one soccer they got banned for it

well now they're known as the chick

Murph (01:09:34):
I know right all day.
Yeah, I mean, because they cameback I thought there's just died
no

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

Murph (01:09:44):
I really hate this world.
Sometimes. I really gotallergies, the chicks we
literally give too much power tosome of the worst people like
and like if you're a fit likethat's like me being like, every
time someone says mountebankthey're not they're called the
good He had mounted police likeI'm like, That's yeah, like, who
cares? I mean FBI who gives ashit. Like, just like,

(01:10:05):
seriously, like, that's like, Ihate to I hate to go into this
and make it really political.
But that's like I heard I'm justgonna say. So I heard like,
apparently now the term redneckis hate speech. And I'm like,
I've heard people use that. I'veheard rednecks use that term,
like, yeah. And they're like,well, it's like, I can't No, I
can't say I can't go into that.
Like, that's like, the too far.

(01:10:26):
No, but it's like they're like,that's like other words, and I'm
like, but it's being used by theindividuals that feel oppressed,
that it's being used to. So I'mreally confused on all of this,
like, feel like we're like,don't get me wrong. There's some
words that I'm happy, we don'tuse anymore. But then at the
same time, people use them. AndI'm like, Wait, so we're only
punishing certain people. Andnot everyone. Like, that doesn't
make any sense to me. Likethat's to work, right? Isn't

(01:10:49):
that it's just fun how lifeworks like that, like, but then
then again, those people thatyou can't use the words about,
they can use other words, andeveryone's like, that's fine,
because we were using wordsagainst them before and it just
like, when does the slave everWade clean? What does it say?
Neverwet. Clean, like, when doesit happen? Like,

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

Murph (01:11:15):
go like your frickin Dungeons and Dragons. There's
just like, roll a dice, andwe're gonna get pissed about
something I don't know. Like,it's just gonna happen. Like, I
don't know, like, Yeah, so oneday, my chain outside my shirts
gonna be something bad. Like,I'm like, I don't know, at this
point. Like, we're probablygonna have stuff to talk about
cults because they're going toget oppressed and they're going
to not like it so I don't Idon't know at this point.

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

Murph (01:11:39):
Yeah, just wait for the lawsuit. bill in the mail on
that one. Yeah. Randy's gonnastart a GoFundMe for the lawyers
we're gonna need to hire becausehe got Scientology or
something's got to be Yeah.
Yeah, the the guy that used toown our house and still get the
mail sent to it three yearslater. What would you do? What
do you cashed that? Check? 50bucks. $50,000. Your name's not
on hell.

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

Murph (01:12:09):
he's not, too so you know, he's a douchebag. Oh,

I already know. You

Murph (01:12:13):
know if it's those get divorced. I'm sure there's lots
of people that get divorced forthe right reasons. He did not he
was eating

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

Murph (01:12:22):
guess we knew probably should quickly. So the previous
owners that own the house mybrother bought they live in. He
was a lawyer. And what ended uphappening is he lives in they
lived in a really nice area andColumbus shocker, NHL player
affords a really nice area inColumbus. But they live in this
really nice area. He's a lawyercheated on her. Didn't like it.

(01:12:44):
Obviously, divorce happened.
True. And so then now, after thedivorce, they had to sell the
house and kind of like a madrush. So my brother got it
already gone way up in price.
And now he still gets mail sentto our house every once in a
while. So

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

Murph (01:13:03):
Yeah, I got a 16 pound package sitting in my house
right now that he had deliveredthere. Because what happens is,
he has a peel box. And for somereason that peel box gets
forwarded to our address. Yeah,so like, I think two months ago
I called Zach and a little bitof a tizzy, because for some
reason I call Zach as like myoutside lawyer. Because we got a
we got a FedEx envelope. Ithought this is something for

(01:13:23):
Connor. So I opened it. And Iwas like, Wait, this is a check
for 50 grand. And this isn't mybrother's name. This is some
LLC. I was like, Oh, this isprobably as a previous
homeowner. And so my brother hadto call him he came over guy
didn't even give me a thank sodidn't even give me a smile. He
just really I think he's also Ithink he's also English or

(01:13:44):
something. I think he's fromEngland. I don't know. I think
there's something because ourhouses done weird, which is very
popular in England. They do forheating. So I thought he was
English. Or maybe he just lovesEngland. I don't know. Maybe his
mistress was English. I don'tknow. But anyway, he like comes
up and all he really does islike no smile. No, nothing. Give
him the man like Okay, here wego. And he's just like, cheers,
grabs, it walks away, like no,like, and I don't like small
talk, but no trying at smalltalk. No, like anything like,

(01:14:07):
you know, when you meet people,and you just tell they're
douchebags and people are like,Oh, no, they're a good person
and like, give them a chance.
And you're like, No, like, Itrust my gut. And this person's
a douchebag. Like, you know whatI mean? Some like

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

Murph (01:14:23):
Exactly. So I will. I had to call the company and tell
them Can I send the packageback? We're figuring that out.
But if they don't, I'll keep youguys posted. But I might have to
reach out to him. Tell him hey,you have a package here. And
then we're going to have a nicediscussion about either he will
pay me for all these packagesthat gets sent in and I will let
him know when they come in. Sohe'll pay me to be his
receptionist or he will changehis forwarding address and we

(01:14:45):
will stop getting charged forhandling. Yeah, exactly. No,
seriously. Well, someone had tohandle it. So he touched it.
Someone had to handle it. 10bucks with shipping and
handling. He's like Well, I'mjust buying it from you. He's a
I handled it. Hey, go he's Allright. So I'll let you guys know
probably the end of the horriblelawsuit or him dig dig energy in

(01:15:05):
me or some more small DukeEnergy. Hey, man, I don't know.
We'll just take you to court.
Probably yeah, whatever. So Igot my brother, you know, I got
you know, I got that. Mostpeople most people marry for
money. I was born into it. Iguess apparently, that means
maybe I'm kidding. Now, butit'll be it'll be one of those
awkward interactions that don'thappen as much nowadays where
you got to have to be like amadman discussion. But most

(01:15:28):
people nowadays don't want to dothat. So they just say you're
threatening me. And so the

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

Murph (01:15:44):
People don't know how to have discussions. They're really

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

Murph (01:16:10):
right? I can't it's either what you say it's either
one or two things. They don'twant to talk to you. Or if they
do, they're horrible. Like, it'sa horrible thing, like, I
wholeheartedly believe believein which I know, some people
think differently. But Iwholeheartedly believe in the
power of conversation is goingto be the dying art in the
future because of all the emailsand like, I mean, phone calling

(01:16:34):
is still kind of powerconversation. But we'll see just
email and social media postingand things like that, like,
people don't know how to looksomeone in the eye, and try and
meet them halfway on somethingbecause that's kind of what this
world works on. Andunfortunately, those are the
people that will end up runningthe country because like that
old school way of business isstill always going to be king.
But always Yeah, butunfortunately, now a lot of us

(01:16:56):
are gonna be so bad at it thatlike, people are just gonna get
fleeced like it's gonna be itlike the street smarts are gonna
slowly go out the window likethe street starts where we'll be
like, I won't fall for thisphone scam I won't fall for this
internet scam is that those willbe the street smarts. But then
you'll go and like fall for theguy playing craps on the side of
the road. You know, like thatkind of shit. Like,

it's, it's so wild because I had a conversation
with somebody at the gyms monthsago, as this kid was already in,
man, probably like, I don'tknow, it's probably a month or
two, maybe three, like, alreadycame back from Europe. And I was
talking to this kid and talkinganother guy and passing this in

(01:17:37):
the sauna. And this guy wastalking. This kid was basically
saying this naked Asana talking.
No, no negative. And then thethis basically this, this kid
who was in college, he basicallysays, we try to have this
conversation. And it's kind ofjust talking about, like, you
know, different, you know,limits every in place on travel
and whatnot. And so we'resitting here we're talking about

(01:17:57):
just different things. Butremember, just like myself,
like, wow, you have had, like,this is such a dull
conversation. There's nothingyou've added. I kind of feel bad
for you. Right? So I'm justlike, Man, this is rough.
They're just

Murph (01:18:17):
cousins like that. My cousin's cute, like 20 just
turned 20. Yeah, my cousin justturned 21. He's like that. Like,
he literally. I don't even knowwhy I'm telling these stories.
But literally, like so forHalloween this year. Hopefully,
og fans will respect this. Yeah,me and my girlfriend dressed up
as Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
Yeah, I wasn't super crazy aboutmy girlfriend dressing up as

(01:18:38):
Barnacle Boy, but whatever. Soit was kind of funny. So I sent
a snap out of it. And I'vegotten some of my cousins on my
Snapchat. So just kind of theonly way I kind of keep in touch
with some of my Canadian family.
And so my cousin like commentedon it. And I just don't even
know why I brought it up. But Iwas just like, just kind of

(01:18:58):
saying, like, you know, thecostume is a little tight fit,
and I'm not feeling my bestphysically wearing it or
whatever. And he literallyresponded with like, don't say
that you're hot. And I'm like,and like I just didn't respond
because I'm like, men just don'ttell men that and people like,
it's 2021 You should be able tosay whatever you want. And I'm
like, not really, they're justsome things like I don't want to

(01:19:19):
say and people could be like,Oh, you're not masculine is
whatever and I'm like found no,there are boundaries use don't
cross like, you know, I don'tcare if it's 2021 like, don't
look at my deck when I picked itand install like, I don't know,
like stuff like that. Like I'vejust like, I'm pretty, like,
pretty masculine, but like, I'mlike, that's just not
comfortable. Sure. Talk toyourself. Yeah, like that's not

(01:19:41):
good. Oh, yeah. I'm like, justnot gonna do that. Like, I'm not
looking for validation from mymale friends. Yeah, that's not
what I'm doing. Like I don'tknow maybe I'm the weird person.
That stuff just like it almostcreeps me out. Like I don't
care. Like I've I've interactedwith gay men. beans all that
stuff that stuff doesn't it'sjust weird when another man

(01:20:03):
comments to another man likethat. I don't know why just
weird to me like, you evertalked to you one year, a year
ago the 90s voiceovers will tellme look today Google

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

Murph (01:20:19):
You might have taken a little you got a little too
specific on that.

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

Murph (01:20:29):
Just do 90s voiceovers that nobody wants. Oh, yeah.
Just hold yourself out with 90svoiceovers and when voiceover

like Dude, do things and nobody.
Exactly. Got them. That's nice.

Murph (01:20:52):

You're right. You're right.
You're right. That's it. I'm notsaying people don't want the 90s
voiceovers, I'm just saying howspecific you were with it. And
like, I don't think anyone waslike, You know what, the 90s
were a really good time forvoiceovers. Like, before then
there was a little bit but itsucked after them just hasn't
been just the way he does. Thefirst thing you jumped to was

(01:21:13):
just like, I don't know, I wouldhave thought like 90s
animatronics that they didn'tweren't using CGI. Like that was
always very like, you know, doyou remember

like the movie commercials?

Murph (01:21:24):
Yeah, yeah, like the community DVD ones. It was 2000.

In a world,

Murph (01:21:29):
like that stuff. Yeah.
You just got to tick tock butdoes that. Give them a time
timeframe? And he'll do that?
Yeah, yeah. So technically,these are going on before

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

Murph (01:21:49):
