[Zach]

Keep the end, don't drop the end.

[Kevin Ray]

That's right, dropping. And don't ever drop the end. In this room, if they say drop the end, like, no, I crossed him.

[Brady]

Over with sheer con.

[Brady]

NHL NHL tickets have gone up increased. They're selling a lot more this year.

[Kevin Ray]

Not increased in value, but they have better sales sales ticket sales.

[Brady]

And on the according to the platform seatgeek they think the one reason is because of the show he did. Rivalry.

[Kevin Ray]

Oh yeah, you think that's why people are going to hockey games?

[Brady]

I don't try to analyze three different week long periods during the season so far. Compared it with the same time last year. Ticket sales were up 24% the same time in the first episode air of.

[Kevin Ray]

The HBO this may be the first time. This is the first time I think that the gay agenda is revealed and actually is real. Because if they think that two dudes bfing constantly on a Netflix special is going to make me go geez, you know, I haven't seen the Mammoth and Hurricanes play in a while. I better go get some tickets.

[Brady]

There's an increase of first time purchasers and no way. Solo ticket sales.

[Zach]

Solo ticket sales.

[Kevin Ray]

Dudes to go beat off the hockey players.

[Zach]

I was initially gonna say it's a lot of girlfriends dragging their boys.

[Kevin Ray]

That could be that girls might be interested now because they think that hockey players all do it after the game. There's hardly any hockey in that series. A little bit.

[Zach]

It's apparently like 5% hockey.

[Kevin Ray]

It's 95% porn. I mean I could barely finish so gay. Well these guys. Please just turn the other one around so I can pretend better. They're in good shape. I'll tell they're they look fantastic, you know, playing tummy sticks on tv. But I'd rather I wanted a little hockey on it. You want to watch a good hockey show at Shoresy? It's a great hockey show. Letter Kenny too. But Shoresy is. Yeah, it's classic.

[Brady]

Watch some Shorzy Universal announced Friday that the forthcoming sequel of the Fast and Furious franchise has got a title. Fast forever is this 11 now 10.

[Brett Vesely]

11.

[Brady]

Is it 10?

[Zach]

I think they had the last one.

[Brett Vesely]

Fast 10 or something.

[Brady]

No, the last one was fast 10.

[Zach]

Yeah, that's right.

[Kevin Ray]

Number 11.

[Zach]

I wonder if they're gonna go to space again this time.

[Kevin Ray]

That was pretty awesome.

[Zach]

It's ridiculous.

[Kevin Ray]

We're off in space now, aren't we?

[Announcer]

Did he do the dive out of space back into the atmosphere on that one?

[Kevin Ray]

They jumped back to Earth from outer space in a Camaro. Yeah. Or said, go to.

[Zach]

Last good one was fast five.

[Kevin Ray]

Yeah, that was a good one.

[Brady]

Which one was that?

[Zach]

When they're in. When they're in Rio.

[Kevin Ray]

Oh, that's right. They were good.

[Zach]

That was actually the last good one.

[Kevin Ray]

I think the last good one was Tokyo Drift. Nobody likes it. It's underrated.

[Zach]

Well, because it's not.

[Kevin Ray]

All the cast was gone. Yeah.

[Announcer]

It's not canon.

[Kevin Ray]

Yeah, that's right. That's right. He's not wrong.

[Brady]

Kim Kardashian is reportedly dating F1 star Lewis Hamilton, who was linked with Kendra Kendall Jenner a decade ago.

[Kevin Ray]

No. Slamming a couple of the same family. Is that a thing? Could you do that? What, you bang a sister and then a few years later, bang the other one? I mean, in relationships, maybe you do it on the sly, but you'd never, like, come back to the family and go, I'm back, but I'm with this one.

[Zach]

Well, there's been a lot of family talk.

[Kevin Ray]

Hey. Yeah. Oh, it's good to see you. We missed you when you were boning my other daughter. We never thought we'd see you again.

[Brett Vesely]

Unless it's not Chloe.

[Kevin Ray]

Yeah, that's. That's like a heated rivalry.

[Brady]

Evidently, Elon Musk is upset at Matt Damon's movie coming out, the Odyssey, because Helen of Troy is. Is black.

[Kevin Ray]

Oh, he doesn't like that.

[Brady]

Yeah, he's like. Well, it's not accurate historically.

[Kevin Ray]

Face that launch. That's what, a thousand ships.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Kevin Ray]

Elon says, cannot be a black woman.

[Brady]

Yeah, well, he said they described her in the Iliad. She's blonde hair.

[Kevin Ray]

Is she real?

[Brady]

Fair skin.

[Kevin Ray]

Helen of Troy claiming she's a real person or. I don't know that story. I know that she's the one that.

[Announcer]

Yeah. I don't know if she's real either.

[Kevin Ray]

She was so hot, war started. But Elon's basically saying, no way a black girl would have this, and that's because he's South African and they're racist.

[Brady]

Molly Ringwald says the classic John Hughes teen movie shouldn't be remade. Hughes didn't want them remade anyway. No, but a lot of them, they'd have to change it up. A lot of stuff wouldn't work in there today.

[Kevin Ray]

Pretty universal, don't you think?

[Brady]

It'd be cancelable. Some of the material, like Breakfast Club.

[Kevin Ray]

Doesn'T have anything that's too.

[Zach]

I was gonna say what part.

[Kevin Ray]

They're sort of evergreen.

[Brett Vesely]

He puts his face in her skirt.

[Kevin Ray]

Oh, yeah, but he was. It was gross when he did it.

[Brett Vesely]

No, I know, but I'm just saying.

[Kevin Ray]

Like, it was now.

[Brett Vesely]

It would be cancelable, though.

[Kevin Ray]

Yeah, but I think it was then. Like, I don't think you were allowed to put your face in woman's skirt back then.

[Brett Vesely]

Think about all those 80s movies.

[Kevin Ray]

Oh, sure, people did it. Yeah, yeah, but I'm pretty sure it was frowned upon.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, yeah, but I'm just saying, movie.

[Kevin Ray]

Wise, if it wasn't, I'd have been doing it, is what I'm saying. I didn't know that you could do that. If I did, I'd have taken my chances. He was a gross character. So I think that. I think people would be like, you can't do that. I think that holds up. I think Breakfast Clubs, I don't know.

[Brett Vesely]

Which one's, like, Home Alone, Borrowing the underpants.

[Kevin Ray]

Maybe that Sixteen Candles.

[Brady]

That's guts.

[Kevin Ray]

It'll bar your underpants. And then. Oh, and then the rape scene of the prom queen in the car.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Announcer]

Did I like it?

[Kevin Ray]

Yeah. Yeah. He bones her and then she turns and says, did I like that? Yeah. They couldn't do that.

[Brady]

Deftones sold most of their music rights to Warner Music Group. What do you think they unloaded?

[Kevin Ray]

Deftones?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Kevin Ray]

100 million, half mil.

[Brett Vesely]

60 or.

[Brady]

I mean, between 41 million to 75.

[Kevin Ray]

Deftones. That's pretty good. All right. That it?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Kevin Ray]

Are you sure? What were you gonna do? He was looking down. This is a constant.

[Brady]

Belichick's girlfriend, Jordan. Huge bash for him on the same day as the football hall of Fame induction ceremony.

[Kevin Ray]

Didn't get in. Yeah, she's throwing one back at it. She's going to make it an Instagram moment.

[Brady]

Maybe we can get some invites.

[Kevin Ray]

And you know who doesn't care? Bill Belichick. Getting all that sweet, young boom. I don't care about any trophies. I got plenty of those. He's fine. He's everyone's idol. No one's allowed to say so, but everybody's like, he's eating wheels of Puhl. Oh, man, he is. He's getting the donkey milk all day, tons of it. And does not care. I read an article this weekend where he was. Do not care what anybody thinks of this. And I am living the happiest I've ever been. It's never. Bill Belichick smiles constantly. When did you ever see that? Ever?

[Brett Vesely]

Why wouldn't you look at that?

[Kevin Ray]

Exactly. You're supposed to say it's gross. Ew. But like, Zach knows when you bone somebody like three times your age, it can be fun. Age is a number. People are happy. Big whoop.

[Zach]

Well, there was a thing going around that that's why the voters didn't vote them in.

[Kevin Ray]

Yeah. Rumors. With a. Oh, it's part of it. The 24 year old.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Kevin Ray]

I mean, it's more Spygate, but they probably threw in there. And then he'd bring that girl along with that little girl. Well, that's the bigger problem is all those old players are like, got to bring their wives in and then that's a constant reminder of their age and they're going to get mad. He's not allowed over at anybody's house anymore. You can't have. Not at all. You can't bring your 24 year old cheerleader girlfriend to your 70 year olds. Yeah, like, this is my new one. I love that her parents like him so much. They didn't. That wasn't even awkward. And they're in their 40s.

[Brett Vesely]

It's better than the deadbeat musician she was probably dating before that.

[Kevin Ray]

Exactly.

[Brett Vesely]

Got a job and money.

[Kevin Ray]

They're happy.

[Brady]

Happy.

[Kevin Ray]

Who are we to say anything?

[Brady]

Are they from Boston?

[Kevin Ray]

Who the. They could be. Could be Pat's fans. There's a good chance. Wicked awesome Tommy's coming over.

[Brady]

Tommy.

[Kevin Ray]

Yeah.

[Zach]

Bring him over anytime.

[Kevin Ray]

It's. Yeah. Happiness is great. Would you find it odd if Kevin suddenly brought home a girl your age?

[Zach]

I mean.

[Byron]

No.

[Kevin Ray]

You know why? It would be good for you. She got friends.

[Announcer]

There you go.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Announcer]

Double date with Pops.

[Kevin Ray]

Yeah. I mean, the way you tried to have those old ladies and her friends meet your dad when you were boning those old ladies anyway. Not plural.

[Zach]

Not plural.

[Kevin Ray]

All right. Yeah, we were pretty consistent with that one. You're right. That's right. It was hitting that real hard. Good stuff. Kevin Ray's son Zach joined us in Kevin Stead this morning. It was nice. Nice job. Kevin Jr. Brady. Happy birthday. That's it for us.

[Brady]

Thank you.

[Kevin Ray]
