Podcast appearances and mentions of louis blues

Some teachers have reading corners. Some have quiet corners. One brave educator looked at her classroom and decided what these children really needed was a designated fart corner.And that's where today's funny podcast begins.The concept is simple: if a kid needs to let one rip, they walk over to a specific corner of the classroom, handle their business, spray a little air freshener and quietly return to their seat while supposedly “nobody pays attention.”Sure.Because elementary school children are famously discreet and would NEVER keep a running leaderboard of who visited the fart corner the most.The crew immediately identifies several flaws in this educational breakthrough, including the unfortunate student whose desk is closest to ground zero, the acoustical advantages of ripping one near a wall, and the absolute certainty that some confident kid will turn the fart corner into Madison Square Garden. Moon also relives an eighth-grade fart incident involving a plastic chair, Trisha and a level of emotional damage that apparently survived well into adulthood. The lesson? It's not the fart. It's the confidence behind the fart.Then, because apparently science had nothing more urgent to solve, the show dives into a massive flatulence study involving thousands of participants and hundreds of thousands of logged farts. Men versus women. Peak farting hours. Historical fart estimates. And yes, “anal tracking devices,” a phrase we sincerely hope never appears on the company expense report.Rafe even revisits his proposed radio game involving everyone recording their own farts so listeners can guess whose is whose. Management's continued refusal to greenlight this important broadcasting innovation remains baffling.Thankfully, St. Louis Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to restore professionalism.That lasts approximately four seconds.Kerber weighs in on fart-corner logistics, airflow, acoustics and the important parental responsibility of teaching your children to laugh at flatulence. Then the conversation shifts to how Chris managed to get himself kicked out of a University of Louisville parents Facebook group.His crime?Suggesting that a college student who wanted to know whether anyone downstairs was watching a football game could perhaps… walk downstairs and find out.Apparently this was too radical for the safe space.That launches a full discussion about helicopter parenting, college move-in season and parents asking Facebook whether their 18-year-old should wear a robe or a towel back from the dorm shower. Chris and Moon agree on a revolutionary parenting strategy: sometimes your adult child can figure stuff out.Rizz is preparing to take his 16-year-old to tour the University of Arkansas, so Kerber offers actual useful advice among the chaos: check out the dorms, investigate the dining options and pay attention to whether the campus simply feels right.The hockey talk continues with the newly unveiled St. Louis Blues promotional calendar, including the upcoming Rizz Show Night jacket, which might legitimately be one of the best giveaways the show has done. Kerber breaks down the limited nature of theme-night tickets, the upcoming shortened NHL preseason and the excitement building around the new season.Then listener emails take this funny podcast somewhere completely different.A former escort and sugar baby writes in after hearing the crew's previous conversations about dating for money and offers to answer their questions. Naturally, the room immediately generates approximately 700 of them. How much money? What was off-limits? Was sex always involved? How do repeat arrangements end? When do you tell a serious partner about that part of your past? Did you feel safe? Did you pay taxes?Rafe, meanwhile, wants to know whether there was a Groupon.Journalism.Another listener from Metro West Fire Protection District offers to help the crew with CPR training and car-seat installation, which somehow results in Rafe claiming he ordered a RealDoll to practice CPR. Lern immediately populates his imaginary house with Rhonda, Susan, Dolly and Reba, and now apparently Rafe hosts brunch for a collection of synthetic roommates.We're sorry too.Finally, the crew tackles a hypothetical: What if you could choose one food that your body would treat as perfectly healthy forever?Pasta enters the arena. Chocolate-chip cookies arrive, although Moon repeatedly describing his ideal cookie as “wet” and “sweaty” causes unnecessary suffering. Lern chooses cake. Rafe starts negotiating the definition of pasta. Donuts make a late push. Rizz eventually lands on pizza.The rules get debated harder than most federal legislation before the conversation arrives at the true battleground: National Potato Day.French fries? Tater tots? Hash browns? Sweet potatoes? Russets?And Rafe delivers perhaps the most important culinary observation of the episode:A tot is basically a hash-brown marshmallow.This funny podcast has fart science, college-parent chaos, Blues hockey, listener confessions, CPR, sweaty cookies and the opening shots of another Great Potato War.We never claimed this would make you smarter.We claimed it would make your commute weirder.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hump Day arrives with a surprise nobody saw coming—especially King Scott, who walked into what he thought was another perfectly normal Hubbard Radio meeting and instead found a full-blown baby shower waiting for him. Balloons? Check. Barbecue? Absolutely. Enough diapers to make every parent in the room experience a traumatic flashback? You bet. Lern deserves special recognition for successfully stalling King Scott by basically throwing every conversational emergency she could think of at him until the surprise was ready. Nothing suspicious about suddenly needing to discuss your entire medical history and possibly the Old Testament inside a radio booth.Then Rafe reports back from Outlaw Music Festival, where his long-running mission to get aboard Willie Nelson's tour bus once again encountered the minor obstacle of Willie Nelson being protected like the President of Texas. Rafe breaks down the impressive lineup, including Stephen Wilson Jr., Things somehow get more uncomfortable when Rizz shares some old high-school gossip involving a former student eventually dating one of her former teachers. That launches a much bigger conversation about age differences, authority, small-town dating pools and exactly how long after graduation something stops being weird. Listener stories arrive to make everything substantially less comfortable. Mission accomplished.Meanwhile, Walmart drone deliveries are heading toward parts of the St. Louis area, and Maplewood residents have questions about noise, birds, hacking, air traffic and whether Grandma really needs groceries descending from the heavens. There's also concern over the future of a historic Webster Groves theater, plus the incredible story of a mystery semi driver who stopped a van traveling the wrong way on I-70 and then apparently returned to his truck without waiting around for a parade. Finally, the crew discovers which car brand has some of the worst drivers, and BMW owners—including people conveniently sitting inside the studio—are forced to absorb a statistically assisted roasting involving turn signals, hair transplants, crypto and enough stereotypes to void the warranty.Rizz and Moon embracing their new identities as BMW owners ahead of a BMW-sponsored golf tournament. Surely the logo on the hood counts as a parking credential, right? Lern attempts to explain concepts like “parking passes” and “hang tags,” but luxury has changed these men. They've seen the badge. They know what they're worth now.A woman new to Missouri is stunned by the accessibility of alcohol and recreational weed, which sends the crew down a rabbit hole of grocery-store liquor laws across America. Apparently some states still make you visit a separate store to purchase booze. We assume residents there spend their evenings staring sadly toward Missouri and wondering where freedom went wrong.A leaked video of former Detroit news anchor Taryn Asher berating a colleague launches a debate over losing your temper at work, professionalism, double standards and whether one meltdown should define somebody's career. Naturally, this means revisiting some of broadcasting and Hollywood's most legendary freak-outs.The crew debates whether these blowups are understandable high-pressure moments or just adults being terrible to coworkers. Lern also shares her own battles against studio technology, proving once again that the greatest threat to morning radio isn't declining attention spans—it's a computer deciding at 5 a.m. that today feels like a good day to die.Then Crap on Celebrities arrives with some genuinely sad rock news: longtime ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has died at 77. The crew looks back at the band's massive career, their unmistakable Texas blues-rock sound, their MTV-era reinvention and the scientific fact that putting on a ZZ Top song makes you approximately 34% more likely to feel capable of winning a bar fight.Nick Jonas revealing that he completely bombed his audition for Frozen after arriving unprepared, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan expanding his Arizona empire with a sushi restaurant and apparently carrying the same pair of traveling chopsticks for decades, updates surrounding Tupac's murder trial, new Queens of the Stone Age music, and the planned return of Ozzfest.The celebrity pile continues with Robin Williams' children fighting AI-generated impersonations of their father and reactivating his official Instagram account as a source for authentic material. The crew also looks ahead to Dune: Part Three sharing a release weekend with Avengers: Doomsday, because movie theaters apparently decided December needed its own traffic apocalypse.Some teachers have reading corners.

Nothing says “responsible morning radio” quite like starting the hour buzzing on Italian rainbow cookies and ending it by debating whether Rafe Williams belongs on Raya.Welcome to another funny show from The Rizzuto Show, where the crew begins this episode riding the aftermath of Rizz's birthday food extravaganza. Sweet Seven Layers has everybody losing their minds over traditional Italian rainbow cookies, pistachio and blackberry creations, cherry amaretto and enough sugar to make Moon openly admit he's buzzing. Throw in the pastries from Le Bon Boucher and we're basically broadcasting from inside a carbohydrate emergency.Before everyone slips into a frosting coma, Rizz drops some actual useful information: Rizz Show Night with the St. Louis Blues is coming to Enterprise Center, featuring the Blues against the Colorado Avalanche and an exclusive Rizz Show Blues jacket. Even better, a portion of the special ticket benefits Operation Food Search. Look at us briefly doing something respectable.Don't worry. It doesn't last.Sexy Time Fun Facts arrives with a legitimately groundbreaking medical story: surgeons in Vietnam successfully performed the country's first penile transplant from a brain-dead donor.And there goes the respectability.What starts as an unbelievable medical headline turns into a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about organ donation, brain death and transplant ethics. Rafe brings some firsthand perspective from witnessing organ harvesting during his previous surgical work, while Moon reflects on his own recent experience being with his father at the end of his life.Naturally, the thoughtful discussion eventually becomes questions about disclosure to future romantic partners, whether transplanted anatomy could be a different color and the phrase “secret three-way with a ghost.”We almost made it.Then the funny show tackles another vital scientific question: Is Missouri properly representing itself in America's swinging community?A ranking of all 50 states examines factors including clubs, online communities, hotels and other indicators of an active swinging lifestyle. Florida takes the top spot because Florida apparently looked at its existing reputation and decided to lean in. Missouri lands at number 20 overall, while ranking eighth for its number of physical swinger clubs.Respectable?Embarrassing?A challenge for next year?The crew isn't entirely sure, although Rafe refuses to accept the possibility that Cleveland might be out-performing St. Louis in the key-party department. Civic pride comes in many forms.From swinging, we make the completely natural transition into dating apps.Science apparently has an answer for how much you should reveal in your dating profile. Say too little and people assume you're sketchy. Overshare every trauma you've experienced since kindergarten and romantic interest drops. The sweet spot is the “Goldilocks bio”: enough personality and detail to seem interesting without making somebody feel like they've accidentally opened your therapist's case notes.Which means there's only one reasonable next step.Get Rafe on a dating app for the show.Rafe isn't particularly interested. He'd rather meet somebody naturally and “let the universe do it,” which is adorable and therefore completely unacceptable to his coworkers. Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and Raya all enter the discussion, along with stories of celebrities appearing in people's inboxes and the realization that getting Rafe approved for Raya may require more references than getting a mortgage.He apparently needs Wayne Gretzky to write two letters now: one for Canada and one for Raya.Eventually the search deteriorates into increasingly specific dating platforms, FarmersOnly, JDate, theoretical sea-captain dating and Rafe's dream of becoming an aspiring jet-ski owner searching for love.Romance is alive.It's just deeply confused.From Italian cookies and St. Louis Blues hockey to medical ethics, swinger statistics and celebrity dating apps, this episode somehow covers an enormous amount of territory without developing a single useful life skill.Exactly what you've come to expect from your favorite funny show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brankárska legenda, dvojnásobný držiteľ prestížnej Jennings Trophy a muž, ktorý si v zámorí vybudoval obrovské meno. Hosťom najnovšej epizódy podcastu Góly z bufetu bol po druhýkrát bývalý slovenský reprezentačný brankár Jaroslav Halák, ktorý si v NHL obliekol dresy Bostonu Bruins, Montrealu Canadiens, St. Louis Blues či New Yorku Islanders.Moderátori Marek Marušiak a Tomáš Prokop s ním rozobrali jeho súčasný život po kariére, elektrizujúce spomienky na play-off v Montreale, ale aj zákulisie dlhej cesty, ktorú v najlepšej lige sveta absolvoval. Rozhovor prináša uvoľnený pohľad na hokej z pozície človeka, ktorý si momentálne plnými dúškami užíva zaslúžený športový dôchodok.Hoci slávny bratislavský rodák už zhruba tri roky nestál v bránkovisku, onedlho ho čaká veľký a ostro sledovaný návrat. Dôvodom je pripravovaný exhibičný zápas „Posledné striedanie“ legendárneho slovenského obrancu Zdena Cháru. Jaroslav Halák s úsmevom priznáva, že hoci ide o priateľský rozlúčkový duel, ako brankár sa musí pripraviť a odkrútiť si zopár tréningov, pretože exhibície plné nájazdov a prečíslení bývajú pre gólmanov bez formy mimoriadne kruté.Okrem jednorazovej prípravy na exhibíciu sa Jaroslav Halák v súčasnosti naplno venuje rodine na americkom kontinente, najmä 10-ročnému synovi a dcére, ktorí takisto prepadli kúzlu hokeja. Bývalý špičkový brankár sa snaží deťom odovzdávať cenné rady na ľade, pričom občas dochádza k úsmevným situáciám, keď mu mladá generácia pri jeho usmerneniach oponuje.Pri výchove mladých hokejistov často s nadhľadom prízvukuje jedno dôležité a rokmi overené pravidlo: „Vždy hovorím brankárom: ‚Nikdy never svojim obrancom ani útočníkom, keď vyvážajú puk spoza bránky, lebo z nejakého dôvodu ho chcú nahrávať krížom cez stred.‘“Od rodinného života sa debata prirodzene presunula k bilancovaniu jeho vlastnej hviezdnej dráhy. Jaroslav Halák zaspomínal na svoje začiatky a dotkol sa aj obrovského tlaku v hokejovom meste, akým je Montreal, fantastických spomienok na tamojšiu fanúšikovskú atmosféru a nezabudnuteľného momentu zo súčasného obdobia, keď pred zápasom play-off NHL z tejto sezóny viedol pochod s horiacou fakľou v ikonickej hale Bell Centre.Nevyhli sa však ani téme samotného záveru jeho aktívnej profesionálnej dráhy. Netajil sa tým, že na sklonku kariéry ho hnala vpred najmä magická hranica 300 víťazstiev v základnej časti NHL. Práve to bol primárny dôvod, prečo v posledných rokoch na voľnom hráčskom trhu preferoval kratšie ročné kontrakty s vidinou, že tento vzácny míľnik nakoniec definitívne pokorí. „Pre mňa bolo tých 300 víťazstiev métou, pre ktorú som to robil, a hoci som na ňu nakoniec nedosiahol, pokus tam bol,“ zhodnotil úprimne a bez kúska trpkosti.Debata v štúdiu sa presunula aj k špekuláciám ohľadom jeho možného pôsobenia v drese bratislavského Slovana pred koncom kariéry, ktoré objektívne objasnil. Rozsiahly priestor v príjemnej diskusii dostal aj jeho triezvy pohľad na súčasnú mladú generáciu slovenských brankárov, draftové úspechy Juraja Slafkovského a celkový progres domáceho hokeja.Najnovšia epizóda podcastu Góly z bufetu na ŠPORT.sk tak ponúka nesmierne otvorený rozhovor s jednou z najvýraznejších postáv našej modernej hokejovej histórie. Odhaľuje nielen silné spomienky na vrcholy a tlak v zámorskej NHL, ale pripomína aj to, že za každou výnimočnou kariérou stojí aj trpezlivosť, pokora a v neposlednom rade dôležitá podpora najbližšej rodiny.

Spring Cleaning – St. Louis BluesThe St. Louis Blues entered the 2025-26 season expecting to build on their surprising late-season surge under Jim Montgomery, but instead fell well short of a playoff berth. Offensive regression, inconsistent goaltending, and prolonged losing streaks prevented the Blues from challenging for a Wild Card position. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine what went wrong, the transition from Doug Armstrong to Alex Steen in the front office, and how St. Louis can use an impressive collection of draft picks to begin its next chapter.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Blues are eliminated from playoff contention on April 11 after entering the season with realistic hopes of earning a Wild Card berth. Following their strong finish in 2024-25 under Jim Montgomery, expectations were considerably higher than the previous year.[00:00:30] St. Louis never finds sustained consistency. Losing streaks of 1-6-2 and 1-8-1 derail the season, accounting for nearly one-quarter of the schedule and making it difficult to recover in a competitive Western Conference.[00:00:50] Offensive production falls well below expectations. The Blues fail to produce a single 25-goal scorer, while injuries contribute to declines from Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou, leaving the offense without a consistent finishing touch.[00:01:10] Goaltending also becomes a concern. Jordan Binnington struggles throughout much of the season, forcing Jim Montgomery to rely more heavily on Joel Hofer down the stretch as St. Louis searches for answers in net.[00:01:30] Neil explains that the Blues never truly challenged the Utah Mammoth for the final playoff position despite preseason expectations that the two clubs would battle throughout the year. Instead, Utah clearly separated itself while St. Louis remained near the bottom of the standings.[00:01:45] Attention turns to the future as Alex Steen prepares to officially replace longtime General Manager Doug Armstrong on July 1. After spending two years preparing for the role, Steen now inherits responsibility for reshaping the franchise.[00:02:00] The Blues possess one of the strongest collections of draft assets in the league, entering the 2026 NHL Draft with 12 selections, including three first-round picks and three third-round picks acquired through previous trades.[00:02:30] Although St. Louis lacks a second-round selection, the organization also owns multiple fourth- and fifth-round picks, giving Alex Steen significant flexibility to either build through the draft or pursue trades.[00:02:45] Salary-cap flexibility remains limited, with the Blues projected to have only about $1.84 million in available space before the July 1 reset. That leaves little room for major free-agent additions.[00:03:00] Oscar Sundqvist headlines the unrestricted free agent class, while restricted free agents Jonathan Berggren, Matt Kessel, and Dylan Holloway become much higher priorities for the organization.[00:03:20] Neil points to Holloway as one of the club's most important offseason decisions after arriving via offer sheet. While another offer sheet remains possible in theory, Neil believes St. Louis will make retaining the young forward a top priority.[00:03:40] Looking at the roster from a broader perspective, Neil questions whether the Blues are close enough to contend or whether a more significant rebuild is necessary. He believes simply making minor adjustments may not be enough to return to the playoffs.[00:04:00] Jordan Binnington becomes one potential trade candidate. Neil wonders whether another organization would be interested in acquiring the Stanley Cup-winning goaltender, whose international success may still make him attractive despite an inconsistent NHL season.[00:04:30] Alex Steen now faces difficult decisions about which veterans remain part of the organization's future. Moving established players could accelerate the transition to a younger core while creating additional salary-cap flexibility.[00:04:50] Despite holding a wealth of draft picks, Neil cautions against trading too many of them away. Those selections represent one of the franchise's greatest long-term assets and must be used wisely to strengthen the organization.[00:05:00] The episode concludes with Neil emphasizing that modern NHL general managers must treat draft picks as both future players and valuable trade currency. For Alex Steen, successfully balancing those two approaches will determine how quickly the St. Louis Blues can return to playoff contention.

The original “Reputation era” belonged to this week's Doll, Dusty Springfield!Born in post-war Britain to a Scottish father and Irish mother, Mary O'Brien was never going to be a good little Catholic schoolgirl; neither would she be content in a family band. Dusty Springfield was born to be in the spotlight. No government or journalist was going to box her into a corner! And no man - or woman - could tie her down. The worlds she created in songs like “Spooky,” “The Look of Love,” “Just A Little Lovin',” and of course “Son of a Preacher Man” were tender and sultry, like her “microphone voice.” She rarely belted, but did she really have to? Bask in Dusty's greatness, be charmed by her wit, revel in her resurrection, and enjoy and a career-spanning retrospective of this beloved “bicon.” “Dusty Springfield: The Many Lives of Mary O'Brien” is available wherever you stream your podcasts

Slovenský hokejový talent Juraj Pekarčík má za sebou prelomové obdobie vo svojej sľubne sa rozvíjajúcej kariére a jeho meno sa čoraz hlasnejšie skloňuje v súvislosti s vysnívanou NHL. Oravský rodák, ktorého si v roku 2023 vybral v drafte klub St. Louis Blues zo 76. miesta, prijal pozvanie do najnovšej epizódy podcastu Góly z bufetu na ŠPORT.sk.V uvoľnenom a mimoriadne úprimnom rozhovore s moderátorskou dvojicou Marekom Marušiakom a Tomášom Prokopom odhalil nielen svoje hokejové ambície, ale aj tvrdú realitu zámorského hokeja, ktorá dokáže zaskočiť aj tých najpripravenejších.Diváci sa dozvedia detaily o jeho ceste z Nitry cez americkú juniorku USHL až k prvému kontaktu s mužským hokejom v drese farmárskeho tímu Springfield Thunderbirds v AHL. V nasledujúcej sezóne bude jeho jasným cieľom získať prvé štarty v najlepšej hokejovej lige sveta.Prechod do profesionálneho zámorského hokeja vôbec nie je jednoduchý, o čom svedčí aj Jurajova úsmevná, no zároveň drsná spomienka na úplne prvý štart v AHL. Fyzická hra a obrovské nasadenie ho na malý moment prinútili pochybovať o svojich možnostiach.„Prvé striedanie som mal... Hlava dole, dostal som granát. Prišiel som na striedačku, ‚Dalo' (Dalibor Dvorský, pozn. red.) sedel vedľa mňa, iba som sa naňho pozrel, že kde to som, že ja tu končím,” spomína dnes už s úsmevom na moment, keď dostal tvrdý hit a na sekundu si myslel, že v lige nemá šancu prežiť.Okrem nárazov na ľade v podcaste otvorene hovorí aj o rešpekte k hviezdam, s ktorými prišiel do kontaktu. Fascinoval ho napríklad slávny útočník Milan Lucic, ktorého mohutný potetovaný zjav v kabíne označil za úplný extrém.Hoci ho na ľade vďaka jeho fyzickým parametrom vnímajú ako typického „power forvarda“, Juraj Pekarčík prekvapivo priznáva, že viac ho napĺňa úloha tvorcu hry, ktorý radšej prihráva pred prázdnu bránku, než by sám gólovo zakončoval.Zaujímavý je aj priepastný kontrast medzi jeho tvrdou hrou do tela na ľade a predzápasovou rutinou v šatni. Zatiaľ čo iní hráči sa nabudzujú energickým rapom či house hudbou, on prezradil, že pred zápasom si rád vypočuje aj melancholickú hudbu od kapely Cigarettes After Sex, čo oboch moderátorov poriadne pobavilo.V podcaste sa detailne vracia aj k samotnému draftu do NHL, pred ktorým nemal veľké oči a očakával, že príde na rad až v 5. alebo 6. kole. „Postavil sa vedľa mňa agent, že: ‚a máme to',“ opisuje nečakaný šok a obrovskú radosť z vysokého umiestnenia, o ktorom do poslednej chvíle ani len netušil.Ak chcete zistiť, aký je život v americkom mestečku Springfield, prečo z duše nenávidí cvičenie bulharských drepov v letnej príprave, a ako vníma silné puto a obrovskú chémiu v mládežníckej reprezentácii Slovenska, tento diel podcastu Góly z bufetu na ŠPORT.sk si rozhodne nesmiete nechať ujsť.

The NHL offseason is already in full swing, and the biggest trades may still be ahead.Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp react to a wild week around the league, including Bowen Byram heading to the Chicago Blackhawks, Jordan Kyrou and Alex Tuch joining the Washington Capitals, and what these blockbuster moves mean ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft.The guys debate whether Connor Hellebuyck is destined to be traded, why the Buffalo Sabres are reshaping their roster, and whether the San Jose Sharks could have another blockbuster in store after acquiring additional draft capital.They also discuss the St. Louis Blues' four first-round picks, Zach Werenski's future in Columbus, the latest NHL trade rumors, and why player development remains one of hockey's biggest challenges.Plus, Fill in the Blank, NHL Draft strategy, free agency talk, and Mike Babcock's arrival in Edmonton.CHAPTERS 00:00 - NHL Trade Frenzy02:30 - Sabres Trade Bowen Byram05:25 - Why Chicago Made the Move10:30 - Sharks Move William Eklund15:00 - Jason Robertson Trade Talk17:35 - Blues' Four First-Round Picks25:55 - How Teams Ruin Prospects36:00 - Capitals Reload with Kyrou & Tuch40:15 - New Jersey Devils Trade Nemec44:30 - Connor Hellebuyck Trade Rumors47:15 - Fill in the Blank58:00 - Blues' Draft Strategy01:12:50 - McDavid on Mike Babcock

The NHL offseason continues to deliver blockbuster moves.Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton break down the stunning trade that sends Bowen Byram to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for the 4th overall pick and additional assets. Why did Chicago make this move? Is adding an established young defenseman the right call, or should the Blackhawks have used those assets to find another weapon for Connor Bedard?The guys also revisit Chicago's decision to pass on Ivan Demidov last year and discuss what this latest move says about the organization's long-term vision.Then, attention shifts to Buffalo. With multiple premium assets now in hand, could the Sabres be positioning themselves for another major move? Could Connor Hellebuyck or another star become a target?Later, the Washington Capitals make a splash of their own by acquiring Jordan Kyrou from the St. Louis Blues. Was the price worth paying? How valuable is Connor McMichael, and who comes out ahead in this blockbuster?Steven Ellis joins for The Next Wave to update his latest NHL Mock Draft, discuss whether the San Jose Sharks are locked in on Anton Stenberg at second overall, and break down the ripple effects of Chicago's surprising trade.Matt Larkin | Top 50 UFA's - https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/top-50-nhl-ufas-ranking-list-news-rumors-tuch-andersson-bobrovsky-ovechkin-carlson-jenner-trouba-marchment-kaneSteven Ellis | 2026 NHL Mock Draft - https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/2026-nhl-mock-draft-draft-week-edition-mckenna-leafs-reid-sharks-malhotra-canucks

My guest this week is NYC-based musician, author, and performance artist Joseph Keckler (NPR's Tiny Desk, tours with Lydia Lunch & Sleater-Kinney), who chose the 1929 two-reeler short St. Louis Blues, which is the legend Bessie Smith's first and only film appearance. We discuss Joseph's iconic performance on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert Series, how he came to unleash his powerful vocal range on a wide range of audiences, choosing to write and sing in German about the adult moments where he was relapsing into a teenage Goth, befriending and touring with Lydia Lunch, Bebe Hansen, the current No-Wave scene in NYC, the excitement of having a standoff with an audience, opening for Sleater-Kinney, confusing but life-altering concert billings, where we both were when first hearing Bessie Smith and the imprint it left on us, why this 1929 short film of Bessie Smith was almost destroyed in the 50s, tape trading with The Residents, hearing Aretha Franklin's voice coming up through the floorboards and being obsessed with Cab Calloway & Bessie Smith as a child, Bessie's acting chops and the unique direction of this performance & more.So let's sing at the top of our lungs into the bottom of our beer mug on this week's Revolutions Per Movie.Joseph will be performing on May 31st 2026 in NYC at TV EYE w/ Genre Is DeathTickets available at tveyenyc.com/calendarJOSEPH KECKLER:josephkeckler.com/BESSIE SMITH in ST.
