Okay, okay. First question. When does Desjardins Insurance suggest you switch to winter tires?

0

8.237 - 10.298 Unknown

Below seven degrees. Easy.

0

10.318 - 14.762 Bryan Hayes

Nice. Next. What's a smart way to save money on your home insurance?

Hour 2 Overdrive continues, powered by FanDuel, bringing you everything from the opening line to the final score. Best bets later in the hour. We've got Ray Ferraro coming up in a few moments. We've got something to chew on a little bit later on. The Jays are back in Grapefruit League action. There's a lot going on all of a sudden. It's a great thing.

48.746 - 62.286 Jeff O'Neill

Obviously, yesterday was tough for Canadians, but you turn the page, and today's been a big day for us on a couple of different fronts. The O-Dog, Jeff O'Neill, turning 50 years old today. Happy birthday to the O-Dog.

62.401 - 86.408 Unknown

Yeah, 50 just gets your attention. Yeah, that's an alert. Yeah, you're 50 years old. Remember when you were a kid, you think of 50-year-old. Who's the guy, like Wolfer Brimley? That's what you think a 50-year-old looks like with the old cookie duster. The guy from the Quaker Oats commercials. It's like that's what a 50-year-old looked like.

86.448 - 90.012 Jeff O'Neill

Yes, and he was like 50 in those spots, which is crazy.

90.032 - 92.855 Unknown

Dude, for sure. Yeah, it looked like he was 80, but he was 50 years old.

Chapter 2: What were the highlights of Canada's gold medal game defeat?

120.046 - 124.793 Unknown

Is that even a positive that we could put 90 minutes?

0

124.813 - 127.437 Jeff O'Neill

90 minutes, not one sports take in there.

0

127.457 - 133.906 Unknown

No, it's not like they were great questions to guess. It's like farting and like, hey, this is Al's brother.

0

134.346 - 140.455 Jamie McLennan

I forgot about a couple. The one was when he burped in Peter King's ear. I forgot about that.

0

140.555 - 144.201 Jeff O'Neill

That was rough. Peter King is an established journalist.

144.641 - 150.969 Unknown

Like real serious dude. And we had him on as a regular for like a year. Exactly. Quit, I think, after that.

150.99 - 152.331 Jeff O'Neill

I don't think he ever came back.

152.391 - 162.481 Jamie McLennan

He stopped taking our calls. But I completely forgot about that one. That one I would have forgotten about. There's things that, you know, you jog your memory and all of that.

162.921 - 164.923 Unknown

JP, do we have a quick Peter King burp?

Chapter 3: How did Connor McDavid's performance impact his legacy?

1828.194 - 1831.478 Jeff O'Neill

We think Matthews will be there. He's got to be there. Certainly he'll be there.

0

1831.538 - 1832.019 Jamie McLennan

He'll be there.

0

1832.079 - 1838.447 Jeff O'Neill

He'll be there. Overdrive continues. TSN 1050 and on TSN 4. I horrified a couple guys last week.

0

1839.845 - 1868.94 Unknown

I think I made them sick. My contractor had a couple guys down here doing some paint and drywalling and stuff. And at 4 p.m., they didn't speak great English. And I explained. I said, I have to start my job right now. And there can't be any loud noises. And I think they could tell, obviously, when I turned the lights on and the TV. It's television, right? But I'm in my basement.

0

1869.983 - 1896.449 Unknown

And this was at 4 o'clock. And I said, I'm starting my job at 4 o'clock. And they were, like, working their asses off. And then at 6, I wrapped up, and I took my headset off, and they looked, and they were like, that's it? I'm like, yeah, I'm done. Yeah, you put in your work, man. That's how it works. I looked on their face when I said, they wanted to stuff me in a garbage can.

1896.489 - 1917.998 Jeff O'Neill

Yes, I could understand that. We live with that. It's the way it works. A lot of prep. A lot of prep, a lot of operation, a lot of communication. There's a lot of things that go into this, right, behind the scenes. But in terms of four to six, yes. Now, at the same time, we can't hide anywhere. Like, you know where we are from four to six. Yes.

1918.078 - 1927.012 Jeff O'Neill

Like, I get it from people, too, and it's like, well, what did you do today? Well, we went for coffees, and then we kind of hung out and talked for a bit. I'm like, well... We're on, you know, and we're on.

1927.052 - 1934.706 Unknown

We're working, so... Yeah, I love the people that just go and sit in their cubicle and they go on TikTok all day and they act like they're on the grind 24-7.

1935.527 - 1952.537 Jeff O'Neill

Grinding it out. Grinding it out. Well, you know what's actually could be a shorter gig. In fact, it absolutely will once it actually takes place, but a lot of prep has to go into it. I saw that... I guess Floyd Mayweather's fighting Manny Pacquiao again. Have you seen this?

Chapter 4: What was the significance of Auston Matthews winning with the United States?

2049.455 - 2065.542 Jamie McLennan

And it was just the amount of money that went out the door. And this, you know, obviously he was a kid just worried about boxing, but he was managed by wrong people, surrounded himself with the wrong people. It's not like he was the greatest human on earth either. Went to jail and all of that type of stuff too. So, you know, at the end of the day, I don't know.

0

2065.642 - 2070.068 Jamie McLennan

Mayweather makes a lot, but he spends a lot. Well, no questioning that.

0

2070.108 - 2092.369 Jeff O'Neill

That's another thing. He's undefeated in his career, and he's so fast and so good and so defensive. He probably thinks, I'm not going to get touched. He fought Conor McGregor, and it was a joke, really. It's just like he's so good, even at his age. Probably both of them are like, hey, let's go in, throw a couple punches. The Jake Paul stuff, how real is it?

0

2092.489 - 2116.378 Jeff O'Neill

I know Paul has been hit a few times, and I think his most recent fight, he got beat up pretty badly. I don't know, boxing just isn't what it once was. Like when we were young growing up, man, boxing was still huge. Like when Tyson was coming up in the 80s, he was massive. Massive in terms of superstardom and having to see his fights. But we don't live in that world anymore.

0

2116.358 - 2133.574 Jeff O'Neill

All right, something to chew on brought to you by Boston Pizza, Canada's favorite sports bar. Enjoy a $15 lunch at BP where you get an entree, a side, and a drink, and you'll get it all in 20 minutes or less. A fast lunch doesn't have to be fast food. See you for a $15 fast lunch at your local Boston Pizza. I've been asking people online.

Chapter 5: What moments from the game were the worst viewing experiences for Canadians?

2134.381 - 2153.301 Jeff O'Neill

obviously coming off the Canada-U.S. game yesterday, which moment will Canadian hockey fans kind of be haunted by the most? Is it the McKinnon empty net miss or the Hellebuck save on Taves? Those appear to be the two that come up. I like McKinnon, man. Your votes, McKinnon?

0

2153.581 - 2164.989 Unknown

Yeah, that's like top two or three player in the world with an empty net that he scores a million. He scores with the goalie squared up. Yeah, against UC Soros was square, and it went through him.

0

2165.009 - 2166.011 Jeff O'Neill

Yes, and it went through him.

0

2166.271 - 2172.94 Unknown

And that thing, like no one was making a save on that. It was a wide open empty net, and it just was. I can't believe you missed that.

0

2173.141 - 2179.189 Jeff O'Neill

I know. I think Hellebuck was in his head, man. I think Hellebuck was so.

2179.209 - 2181.132 Unknown

Dude, that is a stupid thing to say.

2181.152 - 2184.316 Jeff O'Neill

I think it was in his head. He brushed it. He got it off too quick.

Chapter 6: How did Nathan MacKinnon's empty net miss affect the game's outcome?

2184.657 - 2186.419 Jeff O'Neill

He had a wide open cage.

0

2186.619 - 2213.545 Unknown

What was his excuse? i gotta i gotta interject i'm sorry nhl player stepping in go ahead go ahead i would never ever ever brian clark you and say nhl player and you're not but the idea of hellebuck getting in nathan mckinnon's head do you not remember when colorado pumped eight by him every night in a series nobody gets in that wasn't the case yesterday that take is an out

0

2213.525 - 2234.689 Jeff O'Neill

outrageous one that's just no that's as dumb as saying the fans should pick the staff of nhl ray that's an erroneous i don't even remember that there was more context that's like the hall of fame thing with plaques and all that but here's okay let me follow it up with this celebrini had two incredible chances in the slide he shot him wide both times

0

2234.669 - 2241.678 Jeff O'Neill

That, to me, is I've got to be perfect to beat this guy. I've got to be perfect. Nunes, you can speak to it because you've been on the other side.

0

2241.738 - 2253.693 Unknown

These guys are so good. No goalie makes them say, oh, I've got to be perfect here. They're so confident. They score so many points. Then hit the net. You've gone too far.

2253.853 - 2263.765 Jamie McLennan

What these guys do is they do look for the perfect play because they train to go bar down. They train to go post in. I think McKinnon just tried to rush it. I don't know if it was...

2263.745 - 2269.152 Unknown

Can you explain to him that he didn't get intimidated by Hellebuck, please? I'm not saying intimidated.

2269.372 - 2274.379 Jeff O'Neill

I think he rushed it because he knew, I've got to get this off. Go ahead.

2274.459 - 2294.126 Jamie McLennan

I think you rush it because you're going, this guy is going to get over at some point. He turned the ticket from back end to fore end or whatever and just turned it. And it looked to me, if you look from the behind angle, that he turned it a little bit. Like he... He didn't fire it into the net and follow through. He just whiffed on it a little bit.

Chapter 7: What was Connor Hellebuck's role in the game against Devon Toews?

2307.726 - 2315.839 Jamie McLennan

I think McKinnon, it may not be in his head, but you're aware that this guy's having a game and you're going to need to get it away quickly. Okay, let me just state this fact.

0

2315.939 - 2330.307 Unknown

Hellebuck was basically in the corner. You don't have to say, oh, Hellebuck's going to say it. He was out of the play, not even a factor. Go to the freeze frame. Joe from the bridge, put up a freeze frame. It's a wide open net. No one's in anybody's head.

0

2330.688 - 2343.096 Jamie McLennan

Erroneous comment. Well, here's the other thing. Hellebuck was out of the net on the Taves play. And he somehow got a stick on it. That's right. You're feeding the monster now, Jamie. Yeah, you are.

0

2343.216 - 2349.793 Unknown

McDavid celebrating breakaway. You're throwing breadcrumbs to the pigeon. He played the game of his life.

0

2351.257 - 2352.881 Jamie McLennan

What I'm saying is that Connor Hellebuck.

2352.901 - 2353.843 Unknown

Crazy-ass stuff, man.

2353.823 - 2379.314 Jamie McLennan

Connor Hellebuck had the game of his life, and this isn't a backup goalie. This wasn't Eric Comrie, his backup that came over. Connor Hellebuck has won two Veznas in a row and a Hart Trophy, arguably the best goaltender on the planet. I think Vasilevsky is, but Hellebuck has been that good. Mm-hmm. And, you know, even watching him and listening to him talk, I felt like I was on my game.

2379.695 - 2384.766 Jamie McLennan

He certainly was on his game. I thought he made some big saves. Nobody's brought up the five-on-three.

2384.786 - 2388.434 Jeff O'Neill

Five-on-three. Now, they fumbled that. They couldn't get out of their own way, but yes.

Chapter 8: What are Bryan's FanDuel Best Bets for upcoming games?

2690.136 - 2691.478 Unknown

There you go. Happy birthday.

0

2691.859 - 2692.54 Jeff O'Neill

Happy birthday.

0

2692.56 - 2696.146 Unknown

I got intimidated by Jamie. It's not intimidation.

0

2696.166 - 2705.6 Jeff O'Neill

You're really leading me to that word. You guys intimidated me. I don't want to keep talking about it. It's not about being scared. It's about having an effect on something. It's cause and effect, dude.

0

2705.961 - 2716.956 Unknown

Okay. My point is that if you're a fourth-line pigeon, that might be something that creeps into your head. Nate Dogg, Nathan McKinnon, not him. He whiffed on the shot. That's it.

2717.476 - 2717.677 Jeff O'Neill

All right.

2717.697 - 2719.299 Unknown

You're creating false narratives.

2720 - 2722.523 Jeff O'Neill

Well, it's my opinion of what I think happened. That's false.

2723.745 - 2723.845

Okay.
