CONRAD Welcome to FOGCast... We're live, you know this, right, Marissa?
MARISSA Hello?
JACK EICHEL We are live here.
CONRAD We are live, honestly. We are live.
MARISSA [quietly] You talk first.
CONRAD Uh, welcome to FOGCast #1, I don't know what's happening. Everyone in this room is slightly tipsy, so we're gonna get started!
MARISSA Hi! This is Marissa Coleman, also known as Twitter user @gaboriks. If you're not— [laughs] if you're not following, please consider. Um, so we have a great podcast for you, we got Jack Eichel here, he's ready to be interviewed. We have Conrad, @aterodorsus
CONRAD It's atrodorsus, thank you very much.
MARISSA Consider following her, not as critical as the first option.
CONRAD Clearly, clearly.
MARISSA Um, if you have any questions, feel free to @FOGsquad, we'll try to answer them unless they're terrible questions and then we'll ignore them.
CONRAD I obviously—
MARISSA 'Cause I really don't have time for most of your bullshit right now.
CONRAD Honestly, clearly you can also call in, but we would prefer if you didn't, we don't want to hear your voices, uh—
MARISSAWe don't have time to listen to you.
CONRADExactly. Like we would much rather read text, um. So, Marissa, what's the—what's the first thing we're gonna talk about tonight?
MARISSAUm, let's see what our questions—we have gotten so far.
CONRADI honestly don't think we've gotten a single question.
MARISSAUm, "What's your fav Hamilton song?" [pause] Um, the one where he dies. Let's move on. "How much do you love me?" from Stepho. Um. I don't know.
CONRADThat's a—that's a terrible question to ask of FOGSquad.
MARISSAI know, it's like—I feel very put on the spot right now.
CONRADLike, honestly. Like, if you asked me that—
MARISSAI've seen this tweet for ten minutes and I feel very put on the spot.
CONRADI mean, honestly, maybe you should just start thinking better. But I don't know. It's hard to think right now, to be honest.
MARISSAHow many people are listening in?
CONRADDo you want a cinnamon donut?
MARISSAI don't want a cinnamon donut.
CONRADAre you sure?
MARISSAUm, I don't know if you can even hear Conrad.
JACK EICHELNutter Butter?
CONRADI mean—eat your fucking—eat your own Nutter Butter!
MARISSAUm.
JACK EICHEL[laughs]
MARISSAI don't know how we can tell how many—well, please @ me if you're listening.
CONRADDon't @ her. She just wants the attention. It would be [unintelligible].
MARISSAI do. I really want—I'm like Tyler Seguin. But of the Twitter—tweeting sphere.
CONRADYou do know that Tyler Seguin also has a Twitter, right? You are aware of this?
MARISSAYeah.
CONRADRemember that time that he got hacked by his friends?
MARISSAI don't wanna talk about this.
CONRAD[laughs]
MARISSAI don't think this is worth any time or energy.
CONRADUh, let's move on to, uh, Jamie Benn. What do you think about Jamie Benn, Marissa?
MARISSA Are we just gonna talk about the Stars the entire time?
CONRADI honestly think we should start talking trash now.
JACK EICHELGuys, are we gonna start? I have a game tomorrow. Can I get, like, on this interview so I can get back to Buffalo?
MARISSA[laughs]
CONRADAlright, uh, so we got Jack Eichel here with us. I'm not sure why he's here. Uh, he wants to talk. I'm gonna let him talk.
JACK EICHELWhat are you—are you gonna interview me or are you just gonna let me talk? I mean, what do you want me to do here?
CONRADI mean, like, what do you think about Jamie Benn, Jack?
JACK EICHELJamie Benn? I feel like—he's carrying his team, but I feel like I could carry my team to the Cup, you know? Like, here I am, coming from Buffalo, but—coming from Boston, but here—
CONRAD[laughs]
JACK EICHELI am in Buffalo now, ready to win this fucking Cup, you know? So here we go!
CONRADJack, uh, Jack, you have a game tomorrow. You sound slightly, uh, slightly tipsy. Are you—you okay? Do you think—
JACK EICHELI don't drink. What are you talking about? I fucking train—
CONRADUh—
JACK EICHELTwenty, twenty seven.
CONRADShh, you gotta [unintelligible]—
JACK EICHELTwenty seven. I get four hours of sleep. I get twenty seven. I get seven hours on the ice. I get a good four hour rest, eating lunch. I get the good four hour lunch. I get another seven hours on the ice. What's that? Seven, fourteen, plus four, eighteen—
CONRAD[laughing]
JACK EICHELI get another six hours where I just work out, and then I'm going to bed, you know? That's how I do it. Don't accuse me of wasting my fucking time. I don't waste time here. I drink—never. [laughing] Never, I drink.
CONRADNever? You drink never?
JACK EICHELMe and—me and Evander Kane, we just hang out. And we just work out. That's us. Us. Buddy linemates. Good to go. Ready for the game tomorrow. Gonna score hundreds of goals here.
C/M[laughing]
JACK EICHELWe're gonna do this shit. [pause] Now what else you got coming for me?
C/M[laughing]
CONRADUh, honestly, I don't know. Marissa, do you have a question for Jack?
MARISSAWhy?
JACK EICHELWhy? Why? Why? Because I fucking want to win. I win. Period.
CONRADUh—
JACK EICHELThat's what I do. I was born, 1996, to win. '96 is a winning year. Besides Evander Kane's year—I forget when he was born—but you know what? Me and him, we win. That's what we do.
MARISSAIsn't Evander Kane, like, eighty years old by now?
CONRADEvander Kane is a nice, like, round number, I think? I think he's like twenty eight.
JACK EICHELLet me—let me look it up on the roster real quick. But I'm pretty sure—
CONRADYou would think you would know how old Evander Kane is.
JACK EICHELI know how old Evan—like, are you serious? Are you seriously asking me how old Evander Kane is?
CONRADYes, I am.
JACK EICHELLike, what do you think he is? Like, I wanna ev—like, how—come on. How—how old do you think he is? Like, are you serious right now?
MARISSA[unintelligible] he's all saying this while furiously Googling [laughing] on his phone.
CONRAD[laughing]
JACK EICHELDo you even know—like, come on. He—he, everyone knows he's twenty four.
CONRADHe says after checking his phone.
JACK EICHELEveryone knows—what are you—I knew he was twenty four. Come on. Me and him we go, like, back to the fucking draft day. Directly back to my draft day. We—I know him. He knows me. We know—that we're linemates since the fucking—the start of the season. Before the start of the season! Like, pre-season. That's what we know.
CONRADUh, Jack, uh, do you have any words, for your, uh, unicorn costume you wore at college?
JACK EICHELFirst of all. [pause] I wanna say shout-out to my new fans. Like, thanks for tuning in. Thanks for kno—thanks for listening to me. Like, you know—you know, that I'm—I'm gonna—I'm gonna love you guys for the rest of my life here. The rest of my life. And I wanna shout-out to my Boston fans, you know how I was back then. You know how I—you know how I am. That's just me, you know? That—that's just me. I was who I was then. I am who I am now. I—I got no regrets, you know? I got no regrets. No regrets how I am, no regrets how I was. I got no regrets. And that's how I'm gonna play tomorrow. I'm gonna go out there, I'm gonna get no regrets, I'm gonna get six goals tomorrow. Six fucking goals. I'm gonna get fucking two hat tricks. Ovechkin better fucking watch me coming 'cause I'm coming for that fucking scoring title, alright? Here we go.
CONRADAlright, uh, thank you Jack. You wanna join us for the, uh, the rest of this podcast?
JACK EICHELNo, I'm good. I'm out. I'm gonna go, uh, you know, get—go to that—go to the gas station over there. You know. We're good. I'll see you later. Long flight.
CONRADAlright, thank you, Jack. Thank you, Jack. Uh, so that was Jack Eichel. Um, he had a lot of words for us, that's for sure.
MARISSAYeah. How he's going to get to the gas station is [laughing] beyond me.
CONRADHe, uh, he can't drive, obviously. 'Cause Jack Eichel is, uh, eighteen years old, doesn't have his driver's license. [laughing] I don't know how he's gonna get there, but, uh.
MARISSAOr even, like, walk to the dorm where the dorm RAs [unintelligible].
CONRADI feel like I should keep drinking. Jack, do you want any more drinks?
MARISSAOnce again, if you have any questions, please tag FOGSquad. We'll be watching, we'll be trying to answer.
JACK EICHELNo, [unintelligible]. If you have any more questions, let me know.
MARISSAShh, shh. Um, I'm not shushing you guys, I'm [laughs] shushing Jack Eichel. Um.
CONRADI never thought we would have the opportunity to shush Jack Eichel, but here we are. FOGSquad has really taken off over the past couple of months.
MARISSAI know. So thanks for all our original fans. If you haven't noticed, we started off with a podcast, so it's an actual honor to be able to continue with this. 'Cause who could imagine that us, a year ago—to now, where we're both sitting in my dorm, with cups of Malibu, trying to shush Jack Eichel, before my RAs can hear him. God, we really made the big leagues, Connie.
CONRADYou know what, Marissa? I think we need to have a toast right now.
MARISSAYeah. Yeah.
CONRADLet's have a toast to the douchebags.
MARISSAOh, shit. [laughs]
CONRADOh, fuck. [laughs] Okay. Well, that's terrible.
JACK EICHELWoah.
MARISSAIt's all over my sleeve.
JACK EICHELWoah.
CONRADUh, Jack is still in the room for some reason.
JACK EICHELWoah.
CONRAD[laughing] Go to the bathroom.
MARISSAOoh.
JACK EICHELWoah.
MARISSAYou talk.
CONRADUh, well, I think one of the, uh, biggest news of the night is, uh, the Sharks score. Pretty sure it's, like, what, four-two right now? Can't wait for it to be six-two. You know what they say, uh, Marissa.
MARISSABig... dick.
CONRAD[pause, laughing] No. Uh, the saying was going to be, uh, "six-two be you." But—you know. Oh, well, actually, it's. Uh, Jack is showing me that it is actually 4-3 right now.
JACK EICHELMm-hm.
CONRADNot sure why Jack knows the, uh, NHL score for the Sharks-Lightning game. But, uh, obviously—
MARISSAGotta know the competition.
CONRADObviously he's on top of everything, including, uh, whatever—sentence that he just said earlier, which I don't even—I don't remember at this point. Um. Yeah.
MARISSAYup. Um. So, the big news is actually how we're going to go switch to a three-on-three style for the All-Star Game. Very controversial. It's actually the most controversial thing currently happening in the NHL.
CONRADIt's true.
MARISSASo, it's really something where it could make or break the NHL.
CONRADI honestly can't think of a single, like, more controversial event that happened in the past year or so.
MARISSAIt's really the only thing that's happened in the NHL at this level.
CONRADHonestly, like, if you—if you asked me right now if I ever thought that this controversy would happen, like, I would say, "No, the NHL's, like—"
JACK EICHELDo you mind if I talk [unintelligible]?
MARISSAWhat [unintelligible].
CONRADWould you let me finish talking, Jack?
JACK EICHELI was trying to whisper in your ear. I'm sorry.
CONRADYou're talking very loudly.
JACK EICHELSorry for the interruption.
CONRADSorry, guys. Jack is, uh, being a little weird today. He's, uh, he's obviously not feeling well. A little under the weather. Uh, if you can't tell, his voice is a little different. That's 'cause he's sick. He's, uh, he's gonna go play that game sick tomorrow.
MARISSAYeah, he's 100% sober, he's just very sick right now. [laughs]
CONRADYeah, he's just very, very sick.
MARISSAUm.
CONRADUh, what was my sentence that I was saying? Oh, the controversy. Like, you know—
MARISSAThe—the only controversy.
CONRADThe NHL's been around for, what, like, a hundred years or something right now? I mean, the NHL—
MARISSAThree hundred?
CONRADThe NHL was around for the Spanish flu. I'm pretty sure that the NHL was here when, uh, Christopher Columbus—
MARISSA1900s. Know your history. W—I'm so disappointed in you.
CONRADI mean, the NHL was founded in the 1900s, so.
MARISSANo, the NHL—everyone knows that the first NHL game was between the Plymouth Pumletters and the New Jer—
CONRADNo, no, no. That's wrong. The very first NHL game was an outdoor game starring the Chicago Blackhawks. Uh, you just gotta know this stuff, man. Like, the Chicago Blackhawks—
JACK EICHELYeah, come on now. That's basic history right there.
CONRADBasic history. Jack is chiming in—
MARISSAThanks, Jack Eichel.
CONRADWith basic history.
MARISSAUm.
CONRADJack Eichel is actually four hundred years old. Did you know this? [pause] Jack, can you confirm or deny?
JACK EICHEL[pause] I'm gonna have to deny that one.
C/M[laughs]
CONRADI mean—
MARISSAThanks, Jack.
JACK EICHELNo problem.
CONRADThank you, Jack. Thank you, Jack.
MARISSADo you think this three-on-three thing is gonna work? [pause] Are you fucking gonna answer that question or are you just gonna look at your—
JACK EICHELAre you talking to Jack or are you talking to—to FOGSquad member here?
MARISSAI'm talking to the only person who I'm talking to, Conrad.
CONRADI mean, she did say Jack.
JACK EICHELShe said Jack?
MARISSAI—I said Jack?
CONRADYeah.
MARISSAI said Jack.
JACK EICHELDid she say Jack?
CONRADYeah, she did.
JACK EICHELOkay, as Jack—
CONRAD[laughing]
JACK EICHELI would like to answer the question. So, here's what I think—
C/MShh.
JACK EICHELAbout the A—
MARISSAVolume check.
JACK EICHELI'm sorry about the volume. Here's what I think about the A—the NHL All-Star Game three-on-three competition. So, what do we got here? We got insane goaltending, because obviously we're gonna draw the best goaltenders of the NHL at the moment. We got the most insane forwards coming into the NHL All-Star Game ready to score some goals. And what do we got defenseman-wise? We got Erik Karlsson—and that's about it. Maybe PK Su—he's probably going to be in there. PK Subban's going to be in there.
CONRADI don't know. Maybe he isn't.
JACK EICHELKeep—wouldn't he? I don't know.
MARISSAIsn't he—isn't he dead?
CONRADWell, no. I think, um—
JACK EICHELIf he's dead, he's not going to be there.
CONRADI just don't think he's—I just—
JACK EICHELI don't think they draft dead players in the A—NHL Ar-St—All-Star Draft. Regardless, though—
MARISSAWe gotta check—we gotta check the rule book first.
CONRADYeah, we gotta check the rule book.
JACK EICHELAlright. I think it's not in the rule book, but if we draft PK Subban and Erik Karlsson, we're gonna have, like, ninety forwards and two defensemen.
CONRADMm-hm. Mm-hm.
JACK EICHELSo here's what I think.
CONRADMm-hm.
JACK EICHELI think it's gonna be—it's gonna be a close game. You know? It's gonna be a three-on-three.
CONRADMm-hm.
JACK EICHELIt's gonna be hard hockey.
CONRADMm-hm.
MARISSAGod, that's [unintelligible].
JACK EICHELBoth ways.
CONRADUsing the body.
JACK EICHELFor seventeen games.
CONRADUsing the body.
JACK EICHELI mean, I think it's seventeen. I don't know. It might be seventeen games. Seventeen games. Two defensemen. Ninety-thousand forwards. It's gonna be a close match. You know? It's gonna be, like, ninety to ninety each way because the goaltenders are not gonna know what to do with three forwards on the fucking ice besides if they're playing the Ottawa players, or if they're playing the Canadien players. And if you play the Canadien players, you got PK Subban coming in with the slapshot from the point because he's got those fucking solid snipes. If you got Karlsson from the Ottawa ti—Ottawa players, you got him coming in—
MARISSAWrap it up. Wrap it up.
JACK EICHELWake—okay, to wrap up—
CONRAD[laughs]
JACK EICHELI think it's gonna be—it's gonna be a good time, you know? You got John Scott in there, he's gonna make a huge splash in the A—All-Star Game. He's gonna be a good time, and. You know, it's gonna be a good time. Three-on three: it's the future. The future of the NHL. Three-on-three for sixty minutes. That's the way it's gonna go. That's what I gotta say about that.
CONRADAlright. Thank you—thank you, Jack. Uh.
MARISSAHell yeah, Jack.
CONRADHell yeah, Jack.
JACK EICHELThank you very much.
MARISSAIs someone banging on the wall again?
CONRADUm.
JACK EICHELThat's me, actually. I'm banging someone right now.
C/M[laughing]
CONRADYour stroke game's kinda weak, though. I gotta say.
MARISSAOkay. So once again, if you have any questions, please @FOGSquad, don't tag it. 'Cause it's a lot of fucking work. Like, to check a tag. So what's up with Twitter. But, um.
JACK EICHELI got a game tomorrow. I gotta get ready right now.
MARISSASomeone keeps banging on the wall. That's all I can think about right now. Um—
CONRADThat's Jack. We already—we already cleared this.
MARISSABut I really enjoy—
JACK EICHELThis is gold.
MARISSAThis idea of a three-on-three.
CONRADYou do?
MARISSAThe issue is when there's five players on the ice, that's too many. I can't count that high!
CONRAD[laughs] It's true!
MARISSAIt's hard to keep track. And then—
CONRADI mean, just think about it. Right? Like, okay. So there's two forwards on each team?
MARISSAThree? I think there's three.
CONRADThree? Okay. I think there's three. Then there's the two—um, the two—what do you call them?
MARISSAGod, there's just so many I can't even keep track!
CONRADWhat are they called? Are they called uh, uh, uh, de—defense—defense people?
MARISSABangers.
CONRADBangers.
MARISSAThey're called bangers.
CONRADThey're called bangers. Perfect. And then you got that, uh, uh, what's it called—um, the—
MARISSAMarshmallow man.
CONRADYeah, the marshmallow man in net, you know? And then that's—that's five players on one team. Like—
MARISSAGod, like.
CONRADAnd then there's two teams! There's two teams!
MARISSAAnd—and then they—and then they switch!
CONRADAnd then—yeah, and then they switch sides, you're like, "Oh, colors!"
MARISSAIt's like— [unintelligible] Who wore—who is this?
CONRAD[unintelligible] wear white, who's wearing the colors, you know? Like, I feel like it's a racist thing, you know? [unintelligible] Like, um, I dont—I don't understand it. It's just—it's just—it's just too much. And then there's players on the bench? Like, bench players? Like, who's the bench players? Like, do you want me to count twenty four more people? Like, I can't do this! I can't do this!
MARISSAOh my god!
CONRADI can't do this math! I can't do this math!
MARISSAIt feels like I need a mathematical degree in [unintelligible] to even follow who's on the ice at this point.
CONRADI need, like, a computer science degree in order to just keep up with hockey. Like, I just don't think it's physically possible at this rate.
MARISSAI know. So they're really—this is just—something that's been needed to be done forever. I think they should actually just completely cut out the five—what is that, five-on-five structure they normally do.
CONRADMm-hm. Mm-hm.
MARISSAAnd just do it constantly, because—
CONRADLike, three-on-three? Honestly, I feel like every NHL team should only have three players.
MARISSAYeah. It's just—cut 'em.
CONRADJust think about—think about how much easier it would be to count those numbers. Three. Three. Three plus three is— [pause]
MARISSAAnd it means, like—the big thing is every player wants to make sure their name's recognized. So if we actually cut it down to just three players per NHL team, those players get name recognition that—
CONRADExactly, exactly! Like, uh, let's just think of some random player that nobody would ever think about. Steven Stamkos. You'd obviously know Steven Stamkos, right? Just think about it.
MARISSAwho's Steven Stamkos?
CONRADUh, Steve? His name's Steve, I think?
MARISSAOh! You mean Steve—you mean Steve from Tampa Bay.
CONRADYes. Steve from Tampa Bay. [laughs] Our—our friend Steve, uh, shout-out Steve. Uh, really disappointed you can't be here tonight. But, uh, really missing you, man. Um. [sniffs] I just got really emotional [tearfully] because I miss you so much. And—Steve, please call me back. I miss you so much. Please don't ignore me.
MARISSAOkay, so. Back on this new structure. I think it's just really the turn of the century, because the NHL is outdated. 'Cause what happens is you have these grown men who put on—like, colors. I thought—I don't know. I kinda lost my train.
CONRAD[unintelligible] But not only that, but they're putting all this padding on. What are you protecting yourself from? Polio?
MARISSAIt makes you really suspicious, 'cause when there's like, grown men going on the ice completely covered in body armor, like white men with body armor, like—in this economy? Like.
CONRADI feel like I'm going to be colonized. I feel like my body's about to be colonized.
MARISSAExactly. Like, as a white person, even I'm afraid. Like—
CONRADYou should be. I feel like you would clutch your purse closer to you when you get into an elevator with one of those large men, you know?
MARISSAYeah.
CONRADYeah. It's just like, they're just—they're just so much, you know? It's—it's unnecessary. Hon—honestly, Marissa, this might be controversial, and I want you to stick with me here, but I think the NHL should be cancelled.
MARISSAYou're gonna have to expand on that, and you're gonna have to use a little more detail.
JACK EICHELCan I say something?
CONRADJack—
MARISSAJack Eichel, shut up.
CONRADShut up, Jack.
JACK EICHELBefore you expand on that, I just wanna ask if there's any more liquor in this room before I go on.
MARISSAOkay, we're not—okay, he's—we don't know what he's talking about.
CONRADI don't know what liquor is. We're—clearly—
MARISSAWe don't know what liquor means. We're all twelve years old here. Um. [pause] But back on your thought of expanding, 'cause Jack Eichel now has no more permission to talk.
CONRADOf course, yes. Um, I mean, just think about it. Like, just think about how much money we would have if the NHL was just cancelled, you know? Like, how much money, you know, do you put into the NHL? Like, I would think at least twenty dollars, you know. At least. At the very least. Minimum, twenty dollars, you know?
MARISSAYou could probably—if you completely cancelled the entire NHL season, you could probably have enough money to buy a poor girl a teddy bear for Christmas.
CONRADOr you could buy a pizza, you know? You could buy a good pizza with that twenty dollars.
MARISSAYeah, like. Now that you say it, when I think, like. When I'm comparing eighty-two games a season per team to having a pizza, like.
CONRADIt's not worth it. It's not worth it.
MARISSAWhen you put it in those terms, it's definitely worth the thought. It's definitely worth some more discussion.
CONRADLet us know what you guys think about the NHL being cancelled forever. Uh, don't forget that the NHL was alive during the Spanish flu. Uh, therefore, it's—it's been around for a little too long, in my opinion. Just a little bit too long.
MARISSAEverything that's good must end, and god knows it hasn't been good in a while.
CONRADThat's true. That's true.
JACK EICHELCan I comment on this?
MARISSAJack Eichel will—does not have permission to comment.
CONRADShut the front door, Jack Eichel.
JACK EICHEL[laughs]
CONRADHonestly, I—
JACK EICHELI just—I just really—I need to comment here.
CONRADI'm disappointed in the fact that he's here.
JACK EICHELGive me a ten second splurge here.
CONRADYour last ten second splurge was literally five minutes.
MARISSAFive seconds.
JACK EICHELGive me five seconds? You know, as—as a—as a Boston student, I really regret—
MARISSAOne, two, three, four, five. Okay. That— [laughs] Shh, shh, shh. That was five seconds of Jack Eichel.
CONRADUh, Marissa, I just wanna let you know that we just got a surprise guest in this room.
MARISSAOh, please don't do this. Oh.
CONRADI'm dead serious. I wanna—I wanna tell you right now. Uh, can we bring in, uh, Brianna Decker? Hello, Brianna. Hello, Brianna.
C/M[unintelligible]
MARISSABrianna Decker isn't in here because we're running out of time.
CONRADAre we really?
MARISSAYeah. Time is an illusion and it's not real but we still got like—
CONRADYou know, honestly, that's something you'd [unintelligible].
MARISSASix minutes left.
CONRADAlright, like. If you have any questions, like, feel free to shoot them our way. God knows we're not doing anything else at this point.
MARISSAGod knows we're running out of time. We have six minutes left.
CONRADUh, Jack Eichel is [unintelligible] in the corner.
MARISSA[singing] Why do you podcast like you're running out of time?
CONRAD[laughing] You sounded terrible. You are so off-key right there, like. Do you think that for the last six minutes we should just play Hamilton?
MARISSAGod, no.
CONRADOkay. I'm just saying that we would probably get sued.
MARISSAThat—that's a hard no.
CONRADThat—we would probably get sued as well.
MARISSAA really hard no.
CONRADYeah. [unintelligible] I mean, uh, Jack Eichel is talking behind me and I don't know wanna know what he's talking about because it's starting to get pretty crazy back there.
MARISSAYeah.
CONRAD[pause] He's looking for a special drink, and I will be right back. Marissa, can you please fill in this, uh, radio silence?
MARISSAUm. This is a lot of pressure.
JACK EICHELI can help.
MARISSABut, you know what? I kind of just wanna look back at the year we had. Because—little do you know—that FOGSquad started off as two high school girls writing shit on the Internet, and now we're two college girls writing shit on the Internet. And it's just an honor to be able to grow and to get to this level of success. So we'd like to thank all the fans for being with us. And to all the haters, we'd like to say—you know what? We've—we're better than you. Fuck the haters.
CONRADUh, the haters have actually made us stronger, if you ask me. We're so strong now because of all the hatred.
MARISSALittle do they know that whenever someone talks shit about FOGSquad, two new people learn about FOGquad and two people love hog—FOGSquad. [laughs]
CONRADWe're like—
MARISSAAnd we're like a hydra.
CONRADWe're like a terrible, shame hydra.
MARISSAYou cut one head off, and two—
JACK EICHELBuffalo. I'm your future.
CONRAD[unintelligible], Jack Eichel.
MARISSAHe's getting really sloppy. I'm sorry. Hey Stephanie! Thanks for listening to our podcast. Thanks for interacting with us on the tweeter. Um, I [laughs] appreciate it. Um, having, like, five minutes is a lot of pressure, I'm not going to lie.
CONRADUm, I can't find the special drink and that's really disappointing me right now.
JACK EICHELWhere's the Bailey's at?
CONRADJack Eichel did not say Bailey's, he said Railey's, which is actually a very good, uh, Cola brand, if you ask me.
MARISSAYeah, I love a good Railey's.
CONRAD[laughs]
MARISSASpeaking of Railey's, let's talk about Raleigh. Um, how are the Carolinas doing this season?
JACK EICHELHey, they won tonight, I saw that [unintelligible].
CONRADJack Eichel, uh, do you—do you keep up with the Carolina Hurricanes?
MARISSAWe're not talking to Jack Eichel anymore, I swear to god.
JACK EICHELIf Eric Staal didn't get a motherfucking goal called off—
MARISSAShh. Shh. [laughs]
CONRADYou are being so loud right now. What is wrong with you?
C/M[laughs]
CONRADFor a man who's completely sober, you are very loud right now.
JACK EICHEL[unintelligible] switched goalies—
MARISSAFor a man who's completely sober, you're really fucking drunk right now.
JACK EICHELWhere's the Bailey's?
CONRADHe was saying Railey's, everybody. Railey's.
JACK EICHELThe Bailey's liquor!
MARISSADoes anyone know what happened to Jeff Skinner, like, please. If you're—Jeff Skinner, if you're out there listening, please tweet me, let me know that you're doing okay.
CONRADUh—
MARISSAIt's just—
CONRADWe got a—we got a question.
MARISSAOh!
CONRADJenn Hamburglar, @SharksJenn, uh, @FOGSquad, "Do you like to bunch mox?" And that's a good question.
MARISSAUm.
CONRADWhat—what is your answer, uh—
MARISSAThis person doesn't follow me on Twitter, first of all.
CONRAD[pause, laughs] Okay, well. That seemed weirdly specific, but alright, like—
MARISSAI feel like bunching mox is now the most out-of-date joke right now.
CONRADYou know, for somebody who, uh, was on Deadspin because of that fucking tweet, I—I hate it. I hate bunching mox. I—I just—every time I just see one I'm just like, Jamie Benn, and I just see his cow face.
MARISSAAre you being homophobic right now?
CONRADYes, I am, actually.
JACK EICHELCan I go in on this?
CONRADJack Eichel—
MARISSAJack Eichel is not allowed to talk about this.
CONRADJack Eichel has—not in this room anymore, uh, I'm—I'm glad because I hon—honestly regret having Jack on this show.
MARISSAI do, too.
CONRADWe should've gotten—we should've gotten Jonathan Toews again.
MARISSAJonathan Toews. We could've even gotten the homeless guy down the street and he probably would've been far less combative.
CONRADUh, Jonathan Toews, if you're out there, uh, we miss you. We'd like you to come back on this show. Uh—
MARISSAHopefully you studied more about your background, jesus fucking christ.
CONRADUh, Jonathan, um, if you're out there, don't know if you are, uh, you probably—you might be busy. You might be busy at, uh, Columbia, or wherever it is that you go to "school." Um, but, uh, we miss you, we'd like you to come back. Please, please, for the love of god, come back. Don't let us talk to Jack Eichel anymore.
MARISSA[sing-song] Daddy.
CONRADWhat was that?
MARISSAUm.
CONRADWhat did you just say?
MARISSAI thought we were running out of time. But we don't. We actually have quite a few minutes left.
CONRADWe have three minutes, and that's pretty good. So, uh, if you have any questions, please send them our way. We are running out of information to tell you. Um. [blows raspberry] Clearly.
JACK EICHELI have some stuff.
CONRADOh god, Jack. Please don't talk to us anymore.
MARISSABut. [pause] I think—the Los Angeles Kings are going to win the Stanley Cup. I'm just going to throw it out there. Like, stone me, like. Please, I'm into that. That's a thing for me.
CONRADUh, honestly, I'll tell you right now that, uh, you did get a Los Angeles Kings Stanley Cup Champions 2015-2016 tattoo, did you not?
MARISSAOh, um, this is awkward. Because, I love this person, but I'm—I drunk way too much—I drunk half a bottle of Malibu, and so—
CONRADDid you not know how to say Malibu?
MARISSA"Gron-yay?" I love you. You're winning the fantasy pool. I'm sorry for fucking up your name. Um, we have—we're actually out of seconds, so. Thanks to the fans. If you wanna listen to another podcast, let us know. We might be sober, we might not be sober. Just give us some critique so we know what's happening. Oh, We actually have a minute and a half left. It gave me the voice warning me, so, now.
CONRADUh, I mean, Jack says he wants to talk some more but I'm unwilling to hand him the—
MARISSADo you remember that movie, "Max Keeble's Big Move?" That's what it feels right now because I tried to end the podcast there and we have a minute and a half, and it's like when this kid—so the plot of the movie is basically like, this kid thinks that, um, [laughs] thinks that his parents are moving so he kind of burns all the bridges and is like, "Fuck you" to a teacher and stuff and it turns out he's not moving.
CONRAD[laughs] Uh, I don't know what she's talking about 'cause, uh, I am exactly six years old.
MARISSAWhere's my cup?
CONRADI don't know what you're talking about. It's on the table, by the way. Uh, so we're, uh, we're almost over. This was a great thirty minutes with you guys. I always miss talking to you. Uh, our next podcast may be next week, may be never.
MARISSAMaybe could be in ten minutes.
CONRADIt could be in ten minutes.
MARISSALet us know if you wanna hear us more.
CONRADI mean, we can bring Jack back if you really want to.
JACK EICHEL[unintelligible]
CONRADPlease—please don't talk, Jack.
JACK EICHELWe're good to go—
MARISSAPlease tell us if you hate Jack so we can not [unintelligible].
CONRADIf you tell us Jack sucks then we will never bring him back. We can bring on, like, a better—
JACK EICHELNo, we're good to go—
CONRADWe can, uh, we can bring back Jonathan Toews, we can, uh, I think we have connections [unintelligible]—
MARISSA[unintelligible] We can bring in more—
CONRADWe have connections—
JACK EICHEL[unintelligible] five seconds—
MARISSA[laughing]
CONRADWe have connections with, uh, Joe Pavelski, and, uh, we can bring him in if necessary.
MARISSAWe just gotta buy the cheese curds in advance. He'll come.
CONRADSo, uh, thank you, everybody. This is FOGSquad, logging off.
JACK EICHEL[unintelligible] five seconds. Yo, Buffalo's gonna come, we're gonna come win that Cup, Foligno's scoring some goals here, Linus Ullmark!


Thank you to our good friend, Jack Eichel, for taking time out of his very busy day to be such an unmanageable guest.
