Chapter 1: What updates are shared at the beginning of the podcast?
Hey, Spittin' Chicklets listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Me and Ryan have been officially welcomed to the jungle that is Barstool Sports. I brought it towards the Coyotes, and I asked them if it was okay if I joined the Spit and Chicklets podcast full-time. Ryan Whitney's got a pink Whitney out there now.
This is a standbagger. Get that on camera. It's a full-time member. Marley just got an assist from Chris B. Whoa, we're buzzing right now. Sonk. What is up, folks? Welcome to episode 625 of the Spit and Chickles podcast presented by Biz. You're doing it. If you're watching, pinkies up. Pink Whitney. Let me show you guys. Pinkies up.
If anyone is wondering, what the hell is this goofball talking about? It's our new commercial. It dropped today. Had no idea. Just saw it on Biz's Instagram. And yeah, pinkies up. This is catching on. This has caught on. So shout out Pink Whitney. Shout out our underground club that nobody knew about in the deep, dark parts of Hoboken. That's a Pink Whitney. What do they call it, Keith?
Chapter 2: What are the key points about the LA Kings discussed?
back in the day, speak easy, speak easy. So if you want to get involved with your pinkies up, go to a local bar, go to a local liquor store, grab some pink Whitney, grab a shot, make yourself a drink at home and go pick. He's up with the boys, right? Biz. It might, it might be Jersey Jerry and little sasses, new gaming lab. Who knows? Right.
Cause they want in on the, the pink Whitney sponsorship. So we still have to cut a deal with him, but, uh, Incredible idea, and I love it. It's easy. It's very easy to market that. And if you know, you know. If you know, you know, baby.
Chapter 3: What insights are shared about the Trade Deadline?
If you know, you know. I like that, biz. Pinkies up. If you see me around, just give me a pinkies up. I'll give you one right back. We can even tap pinkies. I know it sounds a little weird, but boom. In the world of Pink Whitney, it's not odd at all. It's not hard at all. Well, you always say love wins, right?
So if somebody cuts you off and they're being an asshole, instead of giving them the double barrel, just give them the pinkies up. Say, hey, I know you're not that person. I still love you. Pinkies up. Grab a shot and cool off a little bit. Yeah, you just need a drink. You're just angry and rushed and upset.
If you're cutting thousands of people in line at the airport, just walk through like this. You better bring a few bottles to pour it out in their mouths on the way by, Whit. They're screaming at me, just giving them this one. Right down the line. Son of a boy dad was talking about this. Did you see the clip? Yeah, I did. And for people who don't know, we were on Son of a Boy Dad. Great guys.
It's Francis Ellis. It's Roan. It's Sass. And it's just a good show. Three of the most talented guys. Yeah. Now, Francis had my back. I think Roan kind of had my back. Sass. Sass turns out to be the biggest scumbag of anyone.
because he said he loved you he said he said he was a big whitney yeah but i love sass too but in in in the in the sense of the argument or the discussion sass said he will never let anyone cut him so if you're if you're somebody like me that's i'm gonna miss my flight now granted i ended up in the delta lounge that was the tough part of the story he's like no No, I'll miss my flight too.
Because of his experience. There was a bunch of people who were late for a flight where he was right though. He's like, well, if I let all these people go by, well, then all of a sudden I'm going to be late for mine. That's a different circumstance. But I think he made it sound like it's always no.
I think that that experience just made him say, draw a hard line or if anybody is late for their flight, too bad, so sad, rebook. It's your problem. To the point where when it happened to him, he looked the guy dead in the face. He goes, absolutely not. I'm not, if you go by, if you guys go by, I'm going to be late for my flight.
And then, but he, the guy who was asking people had gone past, let's say 10, 15 people and then got to SAS. So then he was stuck behind SAS and he was just there the whole time. So think about, Think of how uncomfortable it would be to say. Give it the X. Double arm across, pinkies up. Don't even think about taking another step. You and your whole party could sit your ass down.
For me, it would be... It's like we got a 10-day cruise. Yeah. For me, it would be more uncomfortable just having him stand there for the 15 minutes it took to check in right behind you. Well, credit to Sass. I think he kind of lives and thrives when it's uncomfortable. Like Dave. Yeah, I don't know if it's to that extent, but I don't think Sass gives a shit if it's awkward. I really don't. No.

Chapter 4: What memorable stories does Rob Ray share in his interview?
I'm sure he has his headphones on at the airport, hood on, whatever. All I could think of was him telling your dad wit that he can't go by in what would ensue after the fact would be...
life-altering for sass why would your old man challenge him uh i think back in the day of dan whitney uh 25 years ago he's probably like headlocking the kid in the middle of the airport like they're rolling around like wrestling pinkies up um but nowadays my dad would say hey you know what i understand
and i get it and with old age comes peace of mind and i shouldn't say old age as you age comes peace of mind and and maybe realizing that this little gamer slash comedian slash um how else would you just get started yeah did you say yeah non-first-class flyer, he's going to win the day. And so I was laughing a lot. I thought it was hilarious.
Actually, Francis asked me, Francis's internet invitational fame has exploded to the point where he's now getting asked and paid, like, a lot of money to go be the comedian at member guests. And one of them is at this insane golf course. Top of the line, world class. Are you allowed to say which one? He didn't, so I'm not going to.
But he not only is being paid an exorbitant amount of money to be the host and the entertainment at the member guest men's night, they're also giving him a spot in the member guest. He asked me to play in it. So it's funny. I guess that leads me into what I did this weekend, not to take over the conversation. I said, listen, this was like a month ago. I'm like, dude, I would love to.
I can't because if my son makes it through Ryder and his team make it through playoffs, we'll have the semifinals that weekend and the finals, hopefully. Now, at that point, the chances of us getting through, I thought, were pretty slim. As I think we finished sixth at the end of the league, at the end of the season. Well, boys.
the junior dogs tier two might a team pinkies up, got through this weekend. Let's go. It was, it was great. And, and, and it was one of those things where you go in and so there's eight, eight of the, whatever, 11 teams, 10 teams make the playoffs.
Then they split you off into two groups of four and you play, you know, the three other teams, then the top two teams from each group move on to the semifinals next weekend. And, and, I went in and it was some of the better teams. We won the first game down 2-1. Tied it up like seven minutes left. Kid scores the game winner with a minute left. Win that first one. Kind of had to win that one.
Then the next morning, all of a sudden, based on the other teams that had played, it's like, hey, if we win this morning, we're in. Doesn't even matter this afternoon. Got that done to a team who I think was like 3-1 against us this year. Pinky's up. And then in the afternoon against the team who had to win to get in, man, we lost four, three, but like we had a hell of a weekend.

Chapter 5: What leadership qualities does Rob Ray attribute to his coach?
This is what I expect. This is what I want you to do. If you're not going to do it or you're not willing to do it, then you won't be here. And I think those guys kind of came away from that and go, oh, man, he's got a plan and he's a leader. And that's all it took.
They were convinced that, you know, what was going to happen or if there was anything changed there that he was going to be doing the right thing. He was on their side and, and he's very blunt. He's right out and tells you exactly what, uh, you know, what he expects and they bought into it. Um, Norris coming back was obviously huge, uh, uh,
Don panning out the way that he's panned out has obviously been huge for Turkey trade. But when I saw that team play live when I was there, it was the back end that I was blown away by. Because I think that Samuelson has kind of reached this top level potential of what they expected. when they gave him that long deal. Bo Byram is starting to look like the guy that they expected in Colorado.
And obviously you got Darlene.
Chapter 6: How does Rob Ray reflect on his time with the Buffalo Sabres?
And I was even pretty impressed with power. Even though he's been taking off the power play, I feel like even he's getting a little better. So I really felt like the engine that was driving him was that back end. Yeah. And I think that they realized that over the summer and they really concentrated on it, on, you know, working with those guys a little more.
Sammy, I'll tell you for him, I swear the big thing for him is healthy. You know, for, for two, three years now he's battled stupid little injuries and take them in and out of the lineup, but he was never healthy. And now, you know, he's playing more physically. He's closing gaps quick. He moves the puck quick. He's being more physical, you know, all over the place.
He's jumping up in the plays, coming up with. So his confidence is through the roof. But it just comes down to he's healthy. He can play the game that he has to play.
Chapter 7: What memorable moments does Rob share from his NHL career?
You know, Dahls has been, you know, great for us once again. And he's gone through an awful lot. And he's still being able to play at the level. I give him credit. You're talking power. Power has played better. in the last two months than he has probably since his rookie season. And, you know, more confidence getting up in the play, picking and choosing when to get up in the play.
He's doing such a good job of, you know, offensively getting back when he has to, you know, still defensively a little bit sometimes, but his game has raised 10 levels, you know, from where it was even at the beginning. And Bowen Byram, Oh, such a good guy. If you ever have a chance to meet him, he's so down to earth, but he's a guy that keeps everybody on their toes. He's there.
He's kind of the guy that he's not going to, the, the, you know, the ass gets her in the room. He's a guy that's going to call it spade to spade.
Chapter 8: How does Rob Ray describe the atmosphere during playoff runs?
And, and, you know, he lets guys know, but he backs it up with his play on the ice. Even when dolls was gone, you know, him running our number one power play. He's been fantastic. So, Yeah, a lot of good things there. And then, you know, once you get everybody else healthy, you still got Timmons and Kessling, these guys that, you know, have been kind of in and out.
And Timmons will be a bit, but Kessling's back now. So you got a pretty solid back end that not only defensively now, they can jump up in the play and create an awful lot. But the physical side is where we were kind of lacking, and they've really picked that up. what about Lindy?
Like I know when he got hired, there was some questions about it and I know you had him like, what do you see what he does for this group? Cause you know, the new wave age wave of kids is not coached the way I'm sure Lindy coached you. Yeah, no, totally different. And I actually played a little bit with Lindy and then, uh, you know, him coming back as a coach. And so you knew him pretty well.
And when he came back and as a coach, you, you kind of have a good feel for what he was going to be like, and he did a good job. And, But I think the biggest thing for him and even talking to him about it is when he, when he left us and then he was assistant coach, you know, in a couple of different places and, and he learned how to start dealing and communicating better with the younger guys.
And I think as a head coach, you don't do that quite as much, but when he was in that assistant position, he kind of, you know, he had to, he, he, he learned how to deal and talk to the guys. And sometimes maybe he didn't, you know, communicate quite the same way as the head coach when he first started, but now he gets it. He gets that.
He's gotta be, you know, you may treat me different than you and the next guy and the next guy, everybody's not the same. And, you know, I think he's got a really good feel of, how to get to these guys, how to get the best out of them. He tries to be fair, but he's still hard. And in practice and demanding and all this kind of stuff, he has the respect from them.
So I think more than anything, it took a bit for a young group maybe to understand the little harder coach, A little more direct, a little more demanding. And a lot of those guys never have ever experienced that before. Like, you know, most of those kids, when they come from wherever they came from, they had a coach that pat them on the back. You're the greatest thing in the world.
You know, keep doing what you're doing. You know, once it got to him, he is not quite that same guy. So, you know, they had to learn how to deal with it as well, but done a great job with these guys now. Part of wanting Buffalo to be good again, like I mentioned, is remembering the crowds in the playoffs and when they are good and how the fan base is that passionate. I'm like wondering, do you...
Is it harder for you because you remember the days, right? You remember the big games you played in there. There's 25-year-olds that haven't seen them in the playoffs since they were, what, 10? Well, my kid's 17. You've never seen them. Yeah. It's a whole generation of kids in our area that have never really experienced basketball.
