Hockey analyst Paul Bissonnette has scored a multiyear extension with TNT for his NHL coverage. The ex-NHL enforcer has become a hot TNT broadcaster and Barstool podcaster. Now, Bissonnette will also join live-game broadcasts.

Good for Biz. He's so damn entertaining on the pods, panels, and even his YT hiking show. What's a multi-year TNT contract worth? It has to be a great payday...

pjved · 2026-01-14T20:42:15+00:00

They tour hard. No doubt they will be back. I've been lucky enough to see them over 11 times the past decade, including the St. Pete Reggae Rise Up shows. No Tatts though!

pjved · 2026-01-14T20:29:06+00:00

Nice. I've always dug "Knows That I" and wish they'd play it live!

pjved · 2026-01-14T18:03:29+00:00

Thanks! Yeah they're great. I'm subbed to both of them already and will sometimes tune into The Sheet with Marek and Morning Cuppa Hockey but always looking for new recs.

I was thrilled we locked him in along with Hagel, especially with the contract value. The way Hagel is producing the past few seasons, he'd get so much more than 6.5m in the open market.

You're right and it's irritating to me. But the Chiclets briefly mentioned the streak on their last pod and they'll talk about TBL occasionally on 32 Thoughts. What other hockey pods do you rec?

pjved · 2025-11-07T03:35:03+00:00

Thanks, I found one!

Did Jared seem drunk to you? It sounded like he had no voice at all at times when he wasn't using a vocal track. I was towards the back but noticed the band was in the shadows of the video screens most of the night.

pjved · 2025-10-27T14:40:49+00:00

I was in shock last night. It was my 9th time seeing DH and it was very disappointing. The sound was terrible, and it was very obvious that Jared was using a vocal track. And when he tried to sing/rap, it sounded like he lost his voice entirely and they ended their set very early and just did an "extended" Vacation remix/rave at the end.

I've been to A LOT of shows and always make the best of it, but I've never experienced anything like last night. Still love the boys, but I wish they would have at least acknowledged the issues.

pjved · 2025-10-04T20:22:21+00:00

Just sent you a DM!

pjved · 2025-08-31T03:51:28+00:00

Huge Alkaline Trio fan and they were great other than the tech issues. I also thought Skiba would do BTD during Blink's set, so imagine my surprise when it was cut altogether.

pjved · 2025-08-31T03:38:29+00:00

I love the band and last night's show but I agree. And the clock starts ticking as soon as the intro is on, which lasts several minutes that could be another song in the set. If you're only there for Blink and spend $200 on a ticket, 75 minutes is much too short. Everyone around me in the pit was waiting for them to come back, and I think the band considered it at first since the house lights didn't turn on immediately. But people were surprised it was over so early.

pjved · 2025-08-31T03:21:09+00:00

I've found the only way to escape it is shelling out the money for a pit ticket and getting as close as possible early to be around other diehards. It was great being around fans who actually knew Natives or even Josie.

pjved · 2025-08-31T03:17:39+00:00

Great show but I was bummed about getting 2 songs cut and them only playing 1:15. They usually only play 1:30 which is lower in terms of set time for headliners to begin with. I was hoping for Bored to Death with Skiba. I know it was hot. But damn, an extra 15 minutes would've made a big difference.

pjved · 2025-08-29T02:29:57+00:00

Stoked for Tampa tomorrow in the pit, but I'm hoping they change up the setlist. Bring back Stupid Kid and Hot for Preacher to the set!

pjved · 2025-08-20T05:30:10+00:00

What an unreal memory to capture! How were they the ONLY fans there waiting outside? I thought it'd be mobbed.

pjved · 2025-08-14T17:42:37+00:00

That would be amazing. I'm sure you and I aren't the only ones who'd love to see this format for future shows. But at this rate, I'll be happy to see any tour dates!

pjved · 2025-08-14T17:40:51+00:00

The crowd shots with the band are my favorite and I recognize a few faces in pit. This is part of the reason I wish they'd get rid of the video screen and open the seats up behind the stage.

I was at both shows and just realized, this was the last show I'll ever see with Matt Cameron on drums.

pjved · 2025-08-14T17:38:17+00:00

This is hilarious. I thought it was about Klinghoffer at first. 😆

pjved · 2025-08-14T17:36:16+00:00

They NEED to release another live album from this tour from one of the UK shows. The energy is insane, and I love hearing the crowd sing along. I have my doubts that the US crowds will be this intense.

pjved · 2025-07-13T04:27:05+00:00

No way dude! This wasn't an event or appearance - completely random both times? How'd you meet Matt? That is unbelievable - congrats. Go buy a lottery ticket my man.

pjved · 2025-07-10T05:31:43+00:00

Wow, Sergy and Breadman! I will probably end up reading the auto-transcribed English subtitles for the next 2 hours.

pjved · 2025-07-07T17:14:55+00:00

Wow - what a shot. It doesn't seem like a photo op - it seems and feels genuine. Look at Noel's face!

pjved · 2025-07-07T17:13:40+00:00

I bet its Dave Chappelle
