00:03all right, let's man. I don't know. It's two o'clock. I don't know. I think Jeremy Otto
00:11said it best. So town is just rumors that never happen. I don't want to do this. I just,
00:20I said to Jeremy, I'm like, man, hey, hey, hockey time. Are we really? Jeez, Louise. Oh, good. Oh,
00:32good. Steve, Steve lobs some crack-headed trade offer in Dallas. Two, four, eight.
00:41Hey, give us your best player who's seven years younger than what I'm offering and throw in
00:45picks. Oh, you know what Steve said? Upon further review, I probably should have drafted him. So
00:52I want him, bro. This was on our blind rank of damn things. I don't want to talk about. I
00:58don't
00:58think the audience cares to hear, but here we are. Was it number two for you? This was, uh,
01:04I want to think about this real quick. This was number two. Oh, actually, no, I still have the
01:09blind rank sheet on our show sheet. Hold up. Oh no, David deleted it. I'll let you know in a
01:14second.
01:16So I, man, I'm, you know, I want to speak. Take a deep breath, buddy. I think I was more,
01:25I think I was more interested in Brendan Chabat's origin story as he toured every Confederate city
01:30in the South. I was fascinated by that. I actually sounded way worse than I meant. It just, he went
01:35to, he worked in a lot of small places, not that he's a racist. You know what? I'm just going
01:41to
01:41stop. You added a number two. This was number two. The only way this gets worse is if we had
01:47to talk Scoogle, they're not trading him. So, but at least he expanded his list and
01:55okay. Heisman acquiesced and said, okay, well, you know what? Sure. Let's see if I can get
02:01Wyatt Johnson, throw some picks in there as well. He made some barbecue. He made an ask. He knew
02:07they wouldn't do because he's not serious because essentially you have Larry David running your
02:15franchise. You have an old, bitter, out of touch man who wants to play a tough guy and make this
02:23personal with Larkin because Larkin made it personal with him. And you know what we call
02:28that? Mutually assured destruction. I'd much rather hear more about Brendan Chabat's summer
02:35in Darlinga, Georgia, wherever he was, or your night at the fireworks at the Confederate Mount
02:41Rushmore. I don't even know what to say anymore. Can I make an appeal to the hockey elite? I'm being
02:52serious. I want it. This is almost, you've watched the commercial of Sarah McLachlan is playing quietly
02:58in the background and they're showing you these malnourished dogs living in oil drums and deflated
03:03tires. That's me and Rico today. Can you help us? And I don't even need your dollar a day. In
03:10fact,
03:10this is free. I just need you to call. I don't want to do that. Call and tell me how
03:19this ends
03:20because I'll tell you what I can't stand. The very saga. This is all so stupid. This could have and
03:29should have been handled appropriately and triggered a rebuild. But you know what this
03:34is instead here? I don't care. I believe this in my heart. I am not trying to be provocative
03:42or hot takey. I promise you that. But I feel this. Do you remember the show Seinfeld? Yeah.
03:49The bizarro. Yes. This is bizarro Ken Holland. And here's why. Ken Holland allowed the playoff streak
04:02to guide his every move. He wasn't doing what was right for the organization. He was doing what
04:08was right for the streak. Bizarro. Steve Iserman is allowing the playoff drought to guide his decisions.
04:15He wants that drought to end. It is a scarlet letter. The problem is the right thing to do
04:25doesn't help you with the streak. It furthers it. And here we are. Dylan Larkin is not backing down.
04:33And Iserman is not backing down. Larkin right now is quickly on his way to being
04:40the most hated man in this city. And Iserman's not far behind. You could put them on a tandem bike
04:46in Wildwood, New Jersey, right on the boardwalk. Rico, how does it end? I am doing this against
04:55my will. It ends. Hockey elite, please. Here's how it ends. Help me. 2-4-8-5-3-9-9
05:02-7-9-7. Help me.
05:04Here's how it ends. With me walking out by 2-30. It ends with all the local media. Heck,
05:12Jeremy Otto may be out there as well. Outside of Wings training camp. Waiting to see if Dylan
05:21Larkin actually shows up or down. Because he will be on the team. The biggest story, will
05:27he or won't he? Is he going to be there? Will he be the runaway bride? Can I have a,
05:32like
05:33a preventative health day to not be here the day you do that? The pony's running that day. Will
05:39he or won't he? Hey, is there an option C? DGAF. This is how it ends. I know. Because when
05:47it's all said and done, he's going to be a member of the team. Now, will he actually show
05:53up to the team? Because at this point, Steve's going to say, no way. You know what? I did all
05:58my spiteful stuff. Your turn, Dylan. He doesn't show. Do you show up just to skate
06:03around and middle finger me every time you pass me on the ice? No. They're going to strip
06:07him of the captaincy. And he's not showing up here. Look, he's not backing down. And
06:12the news today that, okay, a day after we told you the ridiculousness of the report
06:16was, okay, he expanded his list by one. Dylan Larkin is only offering teams that don't
06:24really have an ability to go and get him because he knows what his GM's trying to do.
06:30Now, all of these teams have what it takes to get him. If you were willing to take a
06:33futures-driven package, a draft pick package. Hell, if Iserman traded him for 17 first-round
06:40picks, you could turn around, offer Sheet Bedard, even though he's going to be out the
06:43first month of the season, just to F with the Blackhawks. I mean, I don't even know what
06:47you do here. But if he thinks he's going to get this multitude of NHLers, I just don't see
06:52it. So I need the hockey elite. I need to understand where you're at with it. Or, or
06:58have you chosen option C? Are you simply done caring? Is Dylan Larkin another version of
07:07Scooble? You don't care anymore. I'm asking.
07:12No, I'm laughing because I don't even want to combo me or you're one and two, Mike.
07:16No, no, no. Do it. This is punishment. Just go ahead.
07:19It really boils down to which happens first, Scooble gets moved, or Larkin gets traded.
07:27Larkin, because Scooble's not getting moved. I mean, I'm almost laughing at the ESPN reports
07:32today. They're acting like the Tigers are trading him. They're not trading him. These guys think
07:37they're a World Series team. They're not trading him.
07:39Yeah, every national, everything you read always, oh, these are the teams that the Tigers are
07:43going to do. What teams?
07:44They should, they're going to come after and target school. I want to be wrong. I will
07:48donate to David's church if the guy gets traded. I just don't think it's happening. So I would
07:52choose Larkin. I want to know from the hockey elite, how does this Larkin thing end? He's
08:00not backing down. If you thought he was going to crumble and give you six more places to trade
08:04him, it's not happening. And by the way, for all the people, because I know there's going
08:09to be some that are going to take up for Steve, act like he has the leverage. Can I remind
08:14you,
08:15your off season is flying by and you're doing nothing. You are sitting here because this,
08:23your first line center, your ex-captain, there's no way he would return as captain,
08:28has demanded a trade and your GM is either unwilling or incapable of making a trade.
08:35How does it end? I will sit here. I don't care. I'll ask the question for four hours. I don't
08:39care if anyone calls in. I'm one step from just talking about Brendan Shabbat's post-college work
08:44career in the deep South. It was fantastic. It's unbelievable. Absolutely fantastic. How about him
08:50living above a bar? I think that's every 20 year old's dream. Glenn Smitherman, Georgia. I mean,
08:57what a, what a scene. I'm saying that's every 20 year old dream. Just go down to the bar,
09:02you go right upstairs. Except he talks distinctly different than his neighbors.
09:08We don't know how he sounded when he was down there. He could have had a, you know, he could
09:13have, have you met him? He could have been Brandon. Okay. Okay. Brandon Shabbat. Wow.
09:20I'm Brandon Shabbat. Is there a world Shabbat was rocking cowboy boots and a sky piece? I think so.
09:28Yeah. God, I just, okay. Larkin, I don't know. 248-539-9797. I am literally, I am begging you
09:39from the bottom of my heart. Hockey elite. How does this end? These two, they have both pressed the
09:47red button and have fired a nuke at each other. We know how that ends. Nobody wins. The only way
09:53this
09:53gets better. And then it becomes roof for radio. No. Is if all of a sudden Larkin around time for
10:02camp, just went full Brandon Iuke. Melting ice cream cone. Just hit the, you've been social media
10:09and just every day just trolls the team. Oh, that, that, that's where we get. So no, I don't,
10:16I don't want that. No, I'm saying we'd have to do more of this, but at least it'll be interesting.
10:22It's just, it'll be fun because you'll be watching the meltdown happen in real time.
10:26And you're watching a meltdown happen in real time. I want to do it. I'm one step from when
10:31Chris Farley rips his hair out. Like, I don't want to please can both of you F off, please.
10:39Please. You go there. You go there. Here's your gift basket. Here's your new team. And
10:53hockey elite doesn't want to help. Don't rip your hair up. They don't carry you. Don't. Yeah. Don't
10:57don't start selling stuff in the van down by the river. Matt Foley. What a skit.
11:03When he goes right there doing doobies and Christine Applegate can't stop laughing and
11:11they're live. Here's you. Here's me. It amounts to Jack squat. That's Iserman trying to trade
11:19Larkin crashing into a table. I want Wyatt Johnson and picks. Boom. Like what planet? I want Nate
11:27Boldy and boldy and picks. What? He's like a drunk guy in your fantasy league. I'd like
11:36Patrick Mahomes. And what is your offer? Rod Barones. Two problems. He's a kicker and
11:42he's dead. What are we doing? I'll give you Sam. Over the weekend. What if I give you Sam
11:51LaPorta for? Sir, you don't have his trade rights. He plays a different sport. Two,
11:57four, eight, five, three, nine, 97, 97. I Langford in there. Fit right in. He blew his
12:06hamstring out. Oh, when did you expand your trade list? It's just like, oh, oh, what's hold
12:17on? Breaking news. He's expanded his list. To Dallas. Holy hell. He really hates us.
12:24Two, four, eight, five, three, nine, 97, 97. Larkin watch. Can the hockey elite please
12:30help me? Please. It'll be like Panda watch. Larkin watch. This is like when Dr. Evil sent
12:36the guy below the desk. I'm badly burned. Help me. Is there anyone up there? That's me right
12:43now. I don't want to do this. Will Larkin get traded? Do I care? Help me. Wait, there's
12:54someone there who can help me. Oh, wait, I'm still alive. He just shot me. And then Larkin
12:58updates his list. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not alive anymore. I quit. How does it end guys?
13:04Put the pieces together. Here's Rico to tell you about his basement. No, no, no.
13:08No.
