Ryan O'Reilly was at a golf tournament and Lionhead in Briston. We all played at Lionhead last year, actually at the get real movements charity golf tournament. Ryan O'Reilly was there at a charity golf tournament. And he spoke to the media, which is something that not all NHL players do at their golf tournaments. No, he said this about the Toronto playing in Toronto. It's something so much more than your average team. This is one of the faces of hockey, being here and even just playing this golf tournament, talking to everyone and the questions they ask about it. Want to know what you're drinking in the room, what was for lunch, and just every little detail you can tell. It's just something so much bigger. It's the game of hockey in a special way. And my question is to you. Did Ryan O'Reilly, with that quote, call the Toronto mate police, not the real NHL?

Yes, but he did it the right way.

There you go.

He did it the right way.

Well, he's also trying to make up for the. The whole bunch of quotes he made accident like. And they were really. They were really in the back. You're harmless. But in the context of the current Toronto Maple leaf setup, as he left town, he was talking about the media stuff. He was talking about de emphasizing the core four and how they'd be better off if they did. And by the way, isn't it hilarious that they've done the exact opposite of de emphasizing the core for Brad, you're living first press conference. We're going to de emphasize the core for Ryan O'Reilly when he leaves. You know, they should probably de emphasize the core four and we should fuck it.

We should bolt them to the. The floor is what we should do.

The bull is the floor for. And I just think I. Sorry, I think that's funny. So when he makes that, he is giving you. What is it? The Stewie, I'm going to give you a compliment sandwich. Like he's going to give you the. He's going to give you put up.

90 points a season. Yeah. You have smelly dog fart.

That I think is where I listen. I think that Ryan O'Reilly took a good long look at Toronto, even though he's from here and said, I don't need this shit for the next four years. I think that's what he was.

A leaf for 24 games. And it feels like he was here for 20 years.

Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad I did it, but no fucking no thanks.

Listen, I totally understand why someone would play in Toronto and play somewhere else in whatever order, and be like, you know what? I'd rather play somewhere else.

Fuck it.

It's quiet. I can still make millions of dollars and I can go play my guitar at the bar in Nashville, and people aren't even gonna really bug me. And I understand. I understand what I can't stand at all. It's just wrong. It's just objectively wrong. And you know, touchgrass, it's watch other sports instead, you know? Well, the leafs can't win because of the Toronto media.

Oh, that's crap.

And it's like, you don't watch other sports.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So the Yankees had never won a championship.

Yeah, well, they haven't in a long time, which for them is 20 years. The Yankees has any min. 20 years.

No. No. Was it the last one?

2009?

They act like it.

Yeah. How long is 2000?

They act like they're drought.

1516.

Okay. Yeah, that's not too bad.

Yankee. How does LeBron James get out of bed in the morning? The existence of Tom Brady, the existence of Serena Williams, the existence of, like, no other elite athletes playing sports people care about.

Yeah. You know, whatever.

It's a very. I'm. I'm.

No. No one's ever like, man show. Hey. Oh. Tani is followed by 30 reporters. Whatever city he goes to. And they're all from Japan.
