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 Bates. Whoa, we're buzzing right now. Sonk. Summer solstice. is what you're looking for yeah and buddy it's like 8 15 it's the lido that's just living that's absolutely living but right now we're coming up on the 4th of july and canada big day biz and shuttle canada oh wow pinkies up to the canadian men's world cup team with that which i believe had never won a game until this year before qatar they'd never won a world cup game before the qatar game Okay, okay. Wow. So listen, I think there's been a lot of discourse of Canada-US. The Olympics, the men's hockey Olympics this year really fucked up our relations. And I love Canada.
I love Canada. I love trying to beat Canada. But at the same time, Canada and US, in my mind, we are one. We are one. And to watch you guys. Now, if we somehow met in the World Cup, all of a sudden, it begins again.
But we're going to be doing separate pods by the time the season hits.
Let's be honest, though. That's never going to happen.
Yeah. I don't think that either one of our squads are our favorite to go far enough to meet each other.
What is the significance of the Babcock press conference?
I don't think I haven't looked at the bracket, but what an electric game. So I guess I'm going pinkies up for the Canadian men's World Cup team to win that game in just incredible fashion. Last minute. I think it was a penalty time or extra time. extra time goal and it was in uh where was that game la i believe too yeah it's so far stadium and i guess canadians there was a chance at some point we may chat with the coach i don't know like that you mentioned that i got a lot of negative tweets saying like oh yeah jumping on the soccer bandwagon like i literally sent out a pump-up video to their coach
What are the key points in the NHL trade frenzy discussion?
Because Wayne asked me to. Remember when we went to Edmonton and Wayne got asked to go in and pump up the Oil Kings?
And you did.
And he's like, where's the court jester? Bring him down. Where's that clown nose?
Yeah.
Do the nose again. The best part about it is when had just finished shaving my, uh, my, uh, Peter man's business the day prior. So I come in and I take my ball cap off and I do a little pop up. So every time Wayne gets asked to do this now, um, And of course he got asked for team Canada. He's like, all right, let's get, let's get biz firing up the boys. I would, I guess I'll ask the coach when the tournament's over, if we could play it on here, like how I fired him up and hopefully we get them on. He was going to come on, but I think that they had to travel to Mexico now where they're going to be playing their round of 16 games. So pretty crazy that, It sucked, though, because they lost against the Swiss, so they didn't win their division, which would have meant they would have played the round of 32 game in Vancouver, which would have been like the craziest.
I think that would have been the biggest ever Canadian sporting event. No, no, no.
Your hockey.
2010 Olympics. I know. Listen, I I'm, I'm saying from a sense of viewership because like, no, like, am I crazy here?
I think so. Cause the game didn't mean anything, right?
It was no, but he's saying if they played at home round of 32, just because not only that amount of Canadian eyeballs, but the amount of world eyeballs, like now that you're in the knockout rounds, like I feel like not just Canadians are watching. So yes, yes. The Vancouver Olympics, like if you could pull up the numbers, maybe it would have had, out of the out of the 35 million canadians what 15 million canadians watch i'm going to need some help from the back here yeah but i would say that if they would have played that on canadian soil you might have had and maybe they still did have half of the televisions can't in canada watching but regardless the viewership in america was 27.6 million on nbc and on canada it was 16.6 it says
