Today we are joined by Barstool personality, our friend, Paul Bisson. Now, what's up, Biz? Hey, it's been too long, boys. Thanks for being patient and organizing this bad boy. I would imagine that, well, I have the lotion right next to me. I'd imagine we're going to give Bajard and the Blackhawks, the biggest double wrister we've ever seen on this pod, right? Is that what we're doing here? We're going to be eating hoop is. We're not just doing that. You know, I love my leather Cheerios. You know that, buddy. You fucking know it, man. What a start, though, for the Blackhawks, what a what a difference from this year to last year and

ended up approaching this offseason, the way he was training and a lot more intelligently,

3:13.8

it's no surprise to me that he's had the start that he's had. And I couldn't be happier for the

3:18.9

guy because he put him to work. So is that the big secret that Biz fixed Connor Bedard?

3:23.6

He hooked him up with his trainer.

3:25.2
