And I'm joined by a special guest right now, long time Buffalo Sabres pregame.
Postgame host host of Tita Green.
What's going on, buddy? How you doing?
Thanks, Patrick. Happy to be with you here. Thanks for uh getting me some good eats too here. The wings here are phenomenal. You know what's what what what what's You know what's what what what what's
what's hilarious is I was literally just thinking and we you know obviously go to the bathroom, wash up and stuff before we do the show. Yeah. I'm wondering if I'm starting to put myself in food comas when we do these kind of live shows. Shout out Imperial Pete, by the way. The wings were absolutely fantastic. You're you love y the Murphs.
The Murph style was you ordered three different kinds. Yes. Those were the those are my favorite of the three.
Yeah, Murphs are always solid. Um Hot Cheveta's good. I think I might have reached a little bit with the Jamaican jerk. I told you this at dinner. It's a kind of a j it's a Joe Yurden specialty. It
had it had a little kick that I wasn't expecting. Not that it wasn't bad. I just when I took the bite of it, I was expecting it maybe to be a little more like barbecuey, but it had a little jolt to it. Yeah. Which was good. Yeah. A little something different. I need I need to change it. I am always so conservative with ordering wings. I will usually never order different flavors if I'm at a place that I just know is good because I'm like, I don't want to waver away from just the buffalo, whether you like medium or high. Or whatever your your flavors, but I I usually don't waver away from that and I f I feel like I need to be elbowed a little of like try some other flavors. So I'm glad you actually pre ordered because those two other flavors I probably wouldn't have ordered on my own, so I need that kick in the butt once in a while.
Well you're first of all you're a hundred percent right in the and the best way for people who like Like to evaluate wings is you you get medium or hot wherever you go because that's like a good basis for a comparison. But I've had 'em so much. So yeah, I did take the initiative. I'm like, We'll try some different flavors here. And I was telling you this too before we get into the show. Obviously we're gonna talk plenty of savors, uh, your career at GR this season, which The team. Yeah. And for you. It kind of a magical season. And then I was really you were one of the reasons and I and I dead ass mean this, I'm dead serious. You are one of the reasons that I was excited about the Sabres turnaround uh this season because you finally got to after all these years and you've been doing this for a while, man.
You finally got to to cover the second round of the blast. We'll talk about plenty of that stuff. I I will say the one last thing about uh Imperial Pizza. I was telling you you said dinner. M one of my favorite things about this place, well there's two things that I love about this place. Number one I've gotten the opportunity to know the people who run the place, the owners, and this is a very uh very popular place here in South Buffalo and it's also very community driven like. Little League Baseball fundraisers. Little Johnny's got a hockey beer blast. You come to this place, they're gonna help you out. Um you need help. They little league baseball, like I said, they send pizzas to the games. This this is just a community or a place that takes care of his community and the and the owners here are are awesome and I truly mean it.
