They're the best NHL promotions we've ever seen. Pen's Jogger bobblehead night. We get a- I got worked. I think we all got worked. The local Pittsburgh stations got worked, too. You could see their local affiliate television stations reporting this. It was on NHL. Com. So this is crazy. The Penguins announced today that their shipment carrying the Jogger bobbleheads for tonight's game has been stolen en route to Pittsburgh. As a result, the bobbleheads will not be distributed at tonight's game, but will be distributed at a later date. And then they followed that up in the afternoon with Yermer Jogger and a bobblehead and him basically in his truck and putting it in. I guess it's a Ford truck because it was sponsored by Ford, but it was really, really well-executed. It was funny because you see some of the Penguin's writers, and I don't blame them for this, go, Man, this is just another nail in the coffin of just a terrible year, right?

Oh, when it was announced that the bobbleheads were stolen? Yeah. Oh, that's what I said. I go, This is one of the most when it rains, it pours things I've ever heard.

It was really well done.

They hit the ice and they can't do a thing right. Just over the last couple of weeks, they cannot do a thing right. And now they have a bobblehead night and they get stolen. Who's ever heard of that? And they were showing up on eBay or something like that, and it turns out we all got worked.

We did. I liked it. I liked it a lot. I know Keith Olberman not like it. No way. Keith Olberman was really upset about it.

I'm like, Man, can people have some fun?

This is the best promotion I think an NHL team has done in years. Name it. Other Next to Gritty. And by the way, there was a bunch of... I think the flyers responded with a gritty meme or whatever. But next to Gritty coming out and being the mascot for the flyers, has there been a better promotion?

They do a great job, the penguins do. They do? They do a really good job with that stuff. It's good to see they haven't lost their touch under new management. Not that they would, but things change.

It's nice that I think likely for a guy like Kyle Dubas, as hard as this year has been, when you look at something like that, first off, Penguin's relationship with their community is a lot different than, say, what we would have in Toronto, because Toronto is just a different city. It's a different animal. And it's a much, much bigger city here. The penguins need to do fun stuff. The leaves don't. And it must be fun to work for an organization where you can do off the wall stuff like that because the Toronto Maple leaves are like, I don't know what it is, but they're so big that they almost feel like they can't or they could. But internally, they feel like, No, we couldn't do that. That's not the Toronto Maple leaf way.

Why not just do things for the fun of it?

See, I don't think that they think that way.

They ought to.

I think so, too. I mean, the next Gen game is a really It's a good local thing that they do to make sure kids get in the building at least once a year. But that's because they have to do that to grow the game.

You know what? I don't know if this could be studied or whatever, but the Leaps could take a lot of lessons from the growth of the Toronto Raptors. And I'm not just talking about winning. That team was pretty bad for a long time. But the word would always get out because people go to leaf games. They'd win or they lose, but they'd be a leaf game every time. And every couple of seasons, someone who is a huge hockey fan, didn't really give a damn about basketball, would go to a Raptors game. And they'd be like, Man, that was fun. There's always something going on. The raptor's going crazy. He's dumping popcorn on people. There's a five-second whistle. It doesn't matter. We can't have any dead space. Here come the dancers and everything. There's always something going on. There's a halftime show of some sort.

The raptors are It's a YouTube version of jump cuts, by the way. Well, yeah. No dead air.

No dead air. But did they have to do all those things? No. Well.

Well, yes. Sorry. Yes. They did.

Yes. Because they needed to... They had the Herculean task of penetrating a market completely dominated by the leaves. And they did it. And the Jays were back to back World Series champions, like what? Two years prior to the Raptors joining the city? They had a big hill to climb, and it took them a It's been a while to do it. But you could argue they're... Well, maybe not the way they're playing now.

Well, I think the longest time your rapper has been there for a few months right now. It's not a raptor's keeping.

I think you guys have the story wrong, the bobblehead story. Why? Because they were actually stolen.

See, that is- Actually?

Yeah, Keith Oberman just went with the... Because they released the video of the bit of afterwards, but they filmed that afterwards to make fun of them being actually stolen. But they were stolen. They were actually stolen? What? And the people got the vouchers. Yeah, Jesse Marshall quote-tweeted Keith Olberman. He's like, The Jagr barbe heads were stolen. Unfortunately, Keith Olberman put out his story as reality to social media. Hilarious. He's going to get free... I don't know what that word is. Freacacied. Freacacied? What does that mean?

I don't know no man has ever been up their own ass more.

Anyway, so I wouldn't be able to see that.

That means Steve and I were gone. He still has to be blocked. We were got in the different way.

I think you guys were got by social media being like, Oh, it's fake. They just did this for a promotion. No, they It actually got stolen. The police are involved in California trying to retrieve the bubble heads.

But wait. Hilarious.

Can you go back to that?

To the Jesse Marshall tweet? No.

Keith Holmerman said people should be fired.

Oh, yeah.

You're a piece of shit. Hey, I think what it is. I think he's being... It's almost like when you wrote, Please care, and Mike Johnson took that seriously.

I didn't say, Please fire the leaves. I hope they lose their job.

Keith Olberman, quote, tweeted the the penguins, Jogger, going to go find the bobbleheads thing. And he said, looks like the Jogger bobbleheads were stolen. Story is a bit. Unfortunately, the penguins put out the story as reality to the news media. They are going to get free-exceed.

Frecasseed. Yeah, make sure to tag this.

That's the word he keeps you. You wiener. He said people should be fired for this. And then I think it's actually true that the God.

Okay, well, what they did with Jogger because he had the one bobblehead of the 18,000 that were stolen, I think is brilliant. Yeah. That was funny. So we were just got in the wrong way, Steve. And that's okay.

Well, you know what? I'm embarrassed that I believe the story, so I think people should be fired. Yeah.

Keith Oberman was advocating for people to get fired because they made a joke about their things being stolen.

I think he was being obtuse with that. Yes. I don't think he actually means that people should be fired. I want to throw this out there. Jesse, I just sent you a text. The Jogger bobbleheads have appeared online. You You can now buy them. They're $100 American with $25 shipping. So if you want to buy them in Canada, it's approximately $134.71. So you could buy the Jogger bobblehead.

Is that a fake posting, though?

I imagine there might be repercussions for just... What are you going to say? You found them at the side of the road? They're stolen.

What do you do with them? What's the plan? You've got over 10,000 of these. What are you going to do?

That's what I was wondering. I was Okay, so you stole 20,000 bobbleheads because that's approximately what they got because PPG Pants Arena holds 18 plus thousand. How do you then make a profit off of that? Because you can't individually sell them all on eBay over time. That's too many bobbleheads. They'll just be like, who's listing is this for 20,000 bobbleheads?

You got to go to roads or Saint Denny and sell them at the fence.

What's the plan for the criminal here?

I know. I wondered, actually, because I don't know much about stealing stuff, did they know what they were stealing?

So that's where you go to, okay, if there's no plan for that, that means they stole it by accident.

They wanted something else.

They wanted the shipping container, and then whatever's in there, they're going to grab that stuff and they're going to steal it. They take that. When it lands in California, they take it, and then they're like, Oh, fuck. We stole 20,000 bobbleheads. We can't do anything with this. They wanted furniture and all the other stuff that comes from overseas.

That's what they wanted. That's easy to sell. Exactly. It's a shipment from Alibaba. Great. I can sell this no problem.

A hundred %. They wanted that, but they accidentally stole 20,000 bobbleheads, and now they're fucked.

People were referencing the episode of the Sopranos where they steal a shipment of Pokémon cards.

That's hilarious.

Pokémon cards are not unique, though. You could hypothetically get Pokémon cards anywhere that sells them. You cannot get these unique items anywhere else but from the Pittsburgh.

You were crossing your fingers and be like, I hope this shipment container is a shipment of PS5s. Because we're taking one and we hope it's a whole bunch of Xboxes, PS5s, iPhone, something like that, and then we just go sell them over time. But they got fucked, which is hilarious.

That is actually funny. Listen, so it's an unintentional promotion that turned a new intentional one with the Jogger video, which is still spectacularly executed. So shout out the Pittsburgh Penguins. I don't know. I thought following it a little bit. I guess I didn't follow it close enough because I got duped twice.

Well, this is even more admirable then because they're making lemons out of...

Or fuck.

Lemon's out of... I have a new board. They're making lemonade out of lemon. If they made Lemon's Out of Lemonade, what an amazing... Wow. Scientifically incredible.

That would be... You know what? It'd be Less delicious, but more impressive.

Yeah. Do you want another Timbit? Get some more sugar in your brain. Yeah, please. Oh, my God. Fire up.

How much did she sleep last night, by the way?

Last night was not bad. Yeah?

Because I was sleeping okay, right?

She's sleeping okay. The system that we have, because if I'm waking up during the night while working, I'm going to die. So I stay up a little later, give her the late bottle, go to sleep for not enough time, but still more than my wife, and then wake up early with Leo. That's how that works. It's difficult on nights where there's a leaf game, and then the next day there's a podcast.

Oh, I can't imagine. Playouts are going to be fun for you. Oh, you bet. Because those streams are coming back, sir. Oh, yeah? Yeah, you bet you.

Do we have a little announcement?

No, no, no. No, but I think, how would we not do them?

By the host being dead.

No. Well, we're running you out, sir. All right. We're squeezing every last bit out of you. No, I think we can't do the play-ups without a Steve Dangle thing. And by the way, anybody- You're totally right, man. Anybody who doesn't like ASMR, Steve eating a Timbit directly into the microphone. Yeah. So I want to talk about... Oh, one last thing. The Penguins won the game, too.

Yo, that's crazy.

As a league fan, what's that like? 6-3 over San Jose. San Jose already has almost 50 losses, 42 losses, and then seven overtime losses. Oh, my God. So 49 losses. That's quite poor. If you're a Penguins fan, you were probably sweating a little bit bit because after the first period, San Jose was actually up to.
