Shjon Podein Joined Spittin' Chiclets For Hilarious Interview 

My dad was a friend of SP in his younger years before he made it up to the nhl. When SP ended up playing for the flyers, my family lived in Florida at the time. We went to see him play the panthers one night. After the game we met up with him near the locker room. He was about as sweet of a person as you will meet. I remember having a hockey program I had asked him to sign. He went a step further. He had the whole team sign a program for me and sent it back in the mail a couple weeks later. Still have it this today. It was one of my prized childhood possessions. Being that I was a kid from Minnesota and hockey is in our blood, it was an experience I’ll never forget. Shjon is the real deal. Not many athletes out there like him!

I was named after this guy same spelling and everythin. Everyone alwsys asks where it comes from, my parents became fans of the avs when they moved here to Colorado. Awesome to see this guy on the pod

Middle of my work day and I’ve been refreshing all day waiting for this. Fuck yeah boys

The vets are way better interviews, better stories, more relaxed, laugh at themselves. So entertaining.

Shjon has always been the most genuine guy. Him calling so many of his former coaches "Mr" in this interview shows alot how down to earth he was and is. Fun but never took himself too seriously. We could use another few million people like him on this planet.

We have been very blessed to have gotten to know Shjon and Sherry. Shjon is easily one of the kindest people I know (unless you’re a teenage boy trying to talk to his daughter or one of the other female players on his team). The world is a better place because of him. Love this interview!

Props boys for giving the High School Hockey Tourney some love. One of my favorite events every year.

What a great interview. I loved playing with Shjon growing up and at Rochester John Marshall. So modest, but he used to score 100 goals a year in traveling hockey.

Loved the Dan Hinote shoutout. He would be an awesome chiclets guest. My uncle worked with the Avs during 01 and was really good friends with Hinote.

You boys are absolutely nailing the Mahtomedi pronunciation.

I was the stick boy for the Oilers from 1993-1999 . When Shjon joined the team full time , we were only getting 9-11 thousand people in the stands . Pod's and Kirk maltby (mops) made me bring in my playstation for in between periods ha ha ha .

Podes is an old buddy of mine. Just the biggest hearted and kindest dude I’ve ever known. He basically used his whole NHL career to create charities and raise money for disabled kids. And he was one of the grittiest 3rd liners of all time. Love you Podes. -SD from OGB.

The respect Shjon shows to the people in his life is heart warming, what a guy. Outstanding job boys...again. Parents! I coach High school girls in the Northeast. You guys hit the nail on the head about parents and expectations. Holy Cow can they be so off base!

Shjon was a beaut. Great interview.

Very well articulated Bizz about the Philadelphia Flyers organization, looking (me) back at it a year later.

One of me favorite podcasts so far! SP is a legend and one of my all time favorite Avs.

Great interview boys, loved Shjon!

HAHAHAH roasting RA over the proms was some of the funniest shiiiiit

“Turns out he was dead” I’m weak 😂

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Cabot sandbagger boys!!!

Happy Birthday Biz!! Thank you for being you!!

Awesome interview love the Minnesota beauties

best coach ever thanks big red

What ill never forget bout 2001 is losing Peter Forsberg after game 7 vs LA in 2nd round. To still go beat a great St Louis team,& the defending champ Devils-without the guy who was the best 2 way player on the planet at the time,(yes even better than Lindros-who he got traded for,along with a ton of other shit) was an incredible achievement,& Podein was a big 2ndary part of that. Forsberg is HOFer,but people often dont realize how dominant he was,cuz he had so many injuries. But his pts per game is unbelievable,especially since much of his career was in the somewhat dead puck era. After he had his spleen taken out in those playoffs-Forsberg missed the entire 2002 reg season,came back for the playoffs-& led the whole nhl in playoff scoring-despite the Avs losing game 7 of WCFs,& not even making the Finals. Dude also won a Hart,& Art Ross in 2003,but is underated today. Younger people have no clue how dominant that dude was,even compared to his contemporaries like Lindros. Just ask Nick Lindstrom-the best dman ive ever seen-I saw him say on a documentary that for ss great as Sakic was-Forsberg was his toughest foe,& the guy that Detroit knew they had to slow down 1st. Thats saying quite a lot Id say. Whats unbelievable is they were 1c,& 2c on the same team. You could never have that today with the cap. Just like Yzerman,& Federov in Detroit.

Seeing Everything Everywhere all at Once and being like wait is that tha dude from indy and goonies? He was MAGNIFICENT

Podes is one of a kind!! That interview is 100% accurate Shjon Podein!!

I live down the road from the ice rink Podein mentioned. I had no idea that was him. He is right about the hockey culture in the Kansas City area. They have a great hockey bar. Alot of diehard NHL fans that support teams all over the league. A majority of which are blues fans.

As a Flyers fan I’m fully on board for a full rebuild, most Flyers fans I know are good with a rebuild. Time for the old guard and ways to change

Happy birthday biz!! And many more my friend. Talk about dedication...doing a podcast on your birthday...your fans appreciate it man!! Keep it cool boys!!

Don’t forget the province of quebec for the beer 🙏🏻😅

RA and being 22 for the Final "whackable effort"...EPIC! 1:24 in...LOL

Fantom FTM 😮😊

Scotia boys get the brews out here give Crosby and Mackinnon a call would ya

Late entry, as a Connecticut native who got robbed of his team, never mind Quebec , they wanna give Atlanta a 3rd shot ?, that’s insanity

Dudes Podein was such a character, you should get his buddy Mike Ricci who was similar

Maa • Dow • Mee • Dai (Mahtomedi) 😂

Do you guys do enough commercials during the broadcast these days?

Auston Matthews has never won a playoff series... Let's just remember that every time we blow the guy

How many times are you going to use this Biz photo in thumbnails 🤣🤣

If Whit doesn’t have his shirt on for 30m; I think we’re ALL going to the hospital…. 🤢

Hahaha I love the Tomas kapusta name drop. The worst owner in all of junior hockey 😂

Biz!! you're breaking my heart, Shakedown is a Dead thing, not a Phish thing, killing me bud! GO B's!!!

When québec will have big deal brew the sales are gonna double the legal drinking age here is around 10 year.

What an excellent interview

BIG DEAL IN ONTARIO LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

Man, I went to a prom at like 29 years old... lol

First, have a day boys

My favorite Flyer ever

Atta be Whit, stand up for Sask 😂

They should've had his picture in a flyers jersey

Fletcher is like the manitee’s in south park who create family guy episodes buy simply putting phrases together with that bs trading app 😂

Sandbagger with Podein and Bourque on the anniversary date.

Do the boys know about maritime Canada?

Spring is official on March 20th boys.

Scottie Scheffler is so hard to get behind. Has the charisma of plain toast

Fighting in Golf is the best idea ever, so much better product than this current one.

I’m with you on LIV Whit. No prestige or legacy making the tournaments matter. As a viewer I don’t give a f how much $ they make

I grew up watching the Flyers since the early 90's going into the mid 2000's, and have watched them try to mash a square peg through a round hole for a decade. Random free agent signings and hoping hot goaltending bails a mediocre team out is fading. They have no identity, and haven't since fluking their way to a Stanley Cup final appearance.

did you guys forget about big deal brewing in Quebec

1:22:50 If ur shoes arent off at the door, Did i wear khakis twice this work week!? My girlfriend hates blue cheese, RA...

If the NHL wants load management just shorten the season. Make every game mean something. I think if you took 8-12 games off the schedule you’d have harder fought games with a lot more at stake. I think it would get the crowd more into it and honestly if the product gets more entertaining the fans won’t complain about a small ticket price increase to help the owners generate the missing income from the games they took away. I think in the long run the owners, players, and fans could all benefit from a shortened season

Aqua?

Essene Gospel of Peace “It was said to them of old time; Honour your Heavenly Father and your Earthly parents, and do the commandments; that your days may be long on the earth.” And first was given this commandment, 'You will not kill’. for life is given to all by the Eternal One, and that which the Eternal One has given, let not man take away. I tell you truly, from one Mother = {Haweh/Eve} precedes all that lives on the earth. Therefore, he who kills, murders his own brother, And from him will the Earth's power turn away, {like Kayin/Cain} and will pluck from him her ability to yield. And he will be shunned-{for protection} by angels, and Evil will have his dwelling in his body; And the flesh of slain beasts in his body will become his own tomb. For I tell you truly, he who kills, kills himself, and who ever eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats the body of death,- In ‘his blood’ every drop of ‘their blood’ turns to ‘poison’; in his breath is their breath to rot; in his flesh their flesh as skin disease; in his bones, their bones make soft; in his bowels their bowels make decay; in his eyes their eyes make scales; in his ears their ears create a waxy issue; and their death will become his death. For only in the service of your Heavenly Father are your sins of 7 years forgiven in 7 days. But Evil forgives you nothing, and you must pay Evil for all. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth; hand for hand; foot for foot; burning for burning; wound for wound, life for life; death for death.! For the wages of sin is death. Kill not, neither eat the flesh of your innocent prey; lest you become the slaves od Evil. For that is the path of suffering’s and it leads to death. But do the will of the Eternal One , that his angels may serve you on the way of life. Proverbs 12-10: A righteous man regards the needs of his animal’s soul; but the mercies of the wicked are cruel...
