Wayne Gretzky

So, and also, by the way-

way-You know, Jarmo did drop the line of Wayne Gretzky got traded, so anybody could be traded.

So I guess that, uh, I'll also take that as a positive.

I just didn't hear anything that said, "Door closed." Nothing also that would, you know, I would wanna jump up and down and say, "Okay, they're doing it.

Like y- and women, women are now getting more into betting as well, which is why I thought that their branding and marketing angle was smart, because the other betting agencies were kind of focusing on a celebrity endorsement like Jon Hamm, you know, uh-

...

Wayne, you know, and so it's that person doing it.

So you have to build trust and credibility, and when those laws changed for online betting, it became a flood to the market of who can get the most users onto the app.

'Cause I'm sure it's similar to the Uber story, right? Once you get someone to place two or three bets, you're probably addicted to that platform.

So what, you know, kind of who are the biggest names? Why? Because big names hold monoculture, right? And so the whole idea is that everyone can relate to seeing, especially in Canada, Wayne Gretzky, and that, that creates that shared sense of trust, because if you're all talking about signing up for a betting app for the big fight this Saturday, w- a bunch of the guys are gonna talk about one, like one app name, because they have that shared understanding of that person.

And I, I think it can also tap into experience, because a lot of the betting, the sports betting, kinda was happening at home, like lonely dudes at home switching between por- you know what I mean? Whereas the Betr app is creating this experience where you can get together, like you can have, now watching the game together would be much more fun because you can make bets on individual plays and kinda like shit talk each other and high-five each other and, you know, it's, it, it, it may be the evolution of the, uh-

Um, but, uh, 100, um, uh, point seasons in his career.

There's Gretzky at 15.

McDavid gets, uh, 100 points this year.

He'll tie Lemieux for 10.

It's hard to point down which one.

Uh, right now, uh, I think it would be the '96, '97 Gretzky or Mirro refractors.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

And you could tell just by the really heartfelt tributes that a lot of people that were close to him gave.

And like, you know, and also an impactful guy when he was a coach, like he and that LA Kings team when Gretzky was there, uh that that really helped like create what we see now in california with some really good hockey teams hockey leagues players coming out of that region it all goes back to you know those la kings teams that barry melrose was a big part of

our good friend from needham massachusetts now retired and living way up in vermont uh cap raider was barry's assistant coach with the gretzky kings and cap wanted nothing to do with the celebrity contact.

That does not surprise me

On the

Stanley Cup, Wayne Gretzky, Mario

Lemieux,

the seven-year-old son of Tom Dundon.

You kind of follow those teams, I'm sure, for Wade as an Oilers fan.

It was the Mark Messiers and the Wayne Gretzky days.

For me, a Leafs fan is because Ty Domi played for them.

He's from my hometown.

That's good.

I said Gretzky, man.

And he also had 309.

The Miz, 21 wins, 2.51 earned run average.
