I sometimes do in the spring if I have the time when I’m trying to downsize on things. I’m not too much of a cleaner though and so I usually forget what I have and don’t have at times.

[sevcnminutcs-a]

I see! It makes sense. I try to be really organized when it comes to cleaning. Though, as you can tell, it clearly isn't working for me at the moment.

[mattybtkachuk]

It is a big struggle. Welcome to the struggle bus. I barely have the time so sometimes or most of the time I’ll put it off and say I’ll do it the following week but it never gets done. I have to really be in the mood.

[mattybtkachuk]

That’s definitely random. I don’t know that I will be able to top that one right there. I suppose, I tend to scroll through TikTok and watch random videos of people doing dumb stuff while I laugh at their expense afterwards. I don’t know that it’s pointless but it’s pretty funny.

[itsjacobelordi]

——- Hey -- i'm guilty of that too . i love a good funny video . people doing dumb shit and funny animal videos have easily taken over my tiktok and youtube recommended and i don't mind at all . it's always a good laugh and a nice past time if you ask me .

[mattybtkachuk]

People doing dumb stuff just gets me every single time and then I laugh at their expense as they probably know exactly what they are doing for attention. Still funny as hell though.

[sevcnminutcs-a]

Does anyone else go through a phase where you feel the need to organize your closet? I go through my closet at least once in the spring and forget about the clothes that I purchase. I don't see the point of keeping something if I only wore it once. Hi, I'm Madelyn and in case you can't tell, I have a little bit of a shopping problem. @hillsfmsstarters

[mattybtkachuk]

Everytime and then I don’t want to be bothered because I try and catch some sleep. Sometimes we get back to back games too so it can be rough. Is there a certain style you like or something you’re inspired by for your furniture set cause that’s what I’d try and go by if so.

[dzaszn-deactivated20250421]

Oh yeah the back to back games would throw me off so bad, like my rest wouldn't be complete. I like modern but I also like the classic look, so I'm not sure what I will end up picking. I just know it's going to be beautiful when I get it.

[mattybtkachuk]

Exactly but it comes with that territory as much as I don’t like the feeling of being exhausted. Ah, makes sense. Have you tried rooms to go? They always have nice stuff. I would check that out I think you can make it how you want it.

MATTHEW TKACHUK ✧ 240127 [re: assisting Sam Reinhart on his franchise record 20th power play goal of the season] Yeah, I mean. Gonna keep feeding him until they take him away, so. He's always in the right spots in the middle of the ice or on the flank and he's got a hell of a shot so I just try to feed him as much as possible.

[mattybtkachuk]

For me I’m used to it so it doesn’t usually hit me until hours later when you’re running on adrenaline you don’t normally feel it as much until later on. I have a high threshold for pain so it’s a good thing I do. He’s been there done that and my brother plays too. It’s insane when we have to play against one another. It’s like a friendly competition. But a few times it had gotten out of hand where we fought each other. I feel like every accomplishment is different for me it all depends really. Just being on a team where I get respect first and foremost is at the top. Probably last season making it all the way to the end while we didn’t win we know we can win the whole thing.

[pdynevor-deactivated20240307]

yeah, i get what you're saying. it's proper mental how the pain can sneak up on you later, – adrenaline's a cheeky bugger, keeps you going at the time, but when it wears off, bam! that ache hits you like a ton of bricks. good on you for having a high pain threshold, though. proper handy, that. i can imagine things getting a bit tasty sometimes. friendly competition is all well and good, but when the banter turns into a full-blown scrap, that's nuts! respect's the foundation for everything, innit? nothing beats that feeling of being on a team where everyone's got each other's back, – i think it's the same in almost every profession, acting included.

[mattybtkachuk]

Spot on. I guess it all depends on how much pain in take people can manage some can do it better than others. It’s just one of those things where it sometimes if there’s an injury you don’t feel it till later. It can be personal sometimes too it depends on what the physicality is. If someone was to go after my goaltender then yeah I’ll fight someone. It’s all a matter of judgment too. But I’ll be the first to jump in it’s the initial instinct that kicks in telling me to defend. I’d have to agree. It’s a pretty good feeling.

[mattybtkachuk]

No there really isn’t. I’ve got to agree with that statement. Usually after a game I am just so tired I’ll take a hot steaming shower and then hit the bed so you’re not exactly wrong about that there is no better feeling then that. Furniture shopping, that sounds like a lot are you trying to get anything in particular?

[dzaszn-deactivated20250421]

Oh yeah I can only imagine. I know for a fact that after a game you take that relaxing shower and just get in the bed. There is nothing more to do after that so I understand! No not really, I just want something that speaks to me and yeah it can be too much sometimes.

[mattybtkachuk]

Everytime and then I don’t want to be bothered because I try and catch some sleep. Sometimes we get back to back games too so it can be rough. Is there a certain style you like or something you’re inspired by for your furniture set cause that’s what I’d try and go by if so.

[itsjacobelordi]

——- Be kinda in need a of a break from talking of like my work and shit -- so how about we talk random interests ? i got into an app game called cat game recently and i just want to collect all the cats . feel free to share something random as well even if it's a pointless phone thing like mine . ( @mattybtkachuk )

[mattybtkachuk]

That’s definitely random. I don’t know that I will be able to top that one right there. I suppose, I tend to scroll through TikTok and watch random videos of people doing dumb stuff while I laugh at their expense afterwards. I don’t know that it’s pointless but it’s pretty funny.

[dzaszn-deactivated20250421]

Nothing better than getting in bed after a nice got shower. What tops it all off is when you have fresh sheets on the bed too. I swear 'm becoming an old woman because that shouldn't make me giggle and smile the way that it does but I am tickled pink. I've also been furniture shopping, looking for a new bedroom suit. Any ideas where I can look? @hillsfmsstarters

[mattybtkachuk]

No there really isn’t. I’ve got to agree with that statement. Usually after a game I am just so tired I’ll take a hot steaming shower and then hit the bed so you’re not exactly wrong about that there is no better feeling then that.

[mattybtkachuk]

It’s going to be a year and yeah we are about two weeks in but I am manifesting a good one. Best moments of 2023 oh man probably just making it to the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.

[itsjacobelordi]

——- You know what , mate ? i'll manifest with you -- for both of us for an amazing year . wow , congrats on making it to the playoffs then . it truly sounds like quite the achievement if you ask me . how 2024 been for you so far ?

[mattybtkachuk]

We are hoping to make it another run this go around too if we can just keep things together we will be good to go. So far so good. Thanks appreciate that. It’s been going. I don’t know how much better it can get but we’ll see.

[mattybtkachuk]

Oh yeah, man, I can just only imagine. At least you enjoy what you do and you have fun with it. Does it ever become too much at times? Cause I also think if you aren’t having fun then that is a big problem. It’s the same with hockey, I wouldn’t be doing anything else.

[rareselgomez]

Yeah, it's the best part of it all, really. It does have days it's a lot with the music, but I usually can take a break and focus on my podcast then. I did put my solo stuff on hiatus for now, and haven't done new band music yet but we have a tour soon with some amazing groups. I'm definitely always making sure I have fun, I think it's how we pick our jobs. Something we love and have fun with. I might need to catch a hockey game sometime.

[mattybtkachuk]

Breaks are good as you wouldn’t want to get burned out. At least you’ve got the podcast to keep you busy when you’re taking a break on music you can’t go wrong there. What type of podcast is it? Having fun and enjoying life is the best way that you can go. Always enjoy yourself and make the best of every day that’s a good plan. You should, or at least try and catch a game when you can.

[jwillims1]

I have to confess, there's something rather depressing about drinking an expensive bottle of wine on my own. It had been opened a couple of days ago at a dinner party, but only a sip had been taken, and we all know that wine just does not taste the same if left opened for a while. I guess this just gives me an excuse to have some company, if there are any takers. But tell me, if you are a drinker, do you happily drink alone, or do you only enjoy an alcoholic beverage when with others? // @hillsfmsstarters

[mattybtkachuk]

I’m not too much of a drinker but I do drink here and there on occasion and it doesn’t feel the same as drinking with friends. Although at the same time, sometimes I do like my space and I do prefer to drink alone at times. It depends on my mood and how I am particularly feeling at the time.

[mattybtkachuk]

Agree with you there man. Truthfully after we take hits and things like that my body does get sore. Sometimes, we end up having to sit out a couple of games for lower or upper body injuries so it isn’t no joke. It requires a lot of resilience you aren’t lying but I absolutely couldn’t see myself doing anything else. I’ve been playing since 2013 but I grew up in a sports family. My dad played too.

[pdynevor-deactivated20240307]

sounds like the the game's a constant dance with pain. how do you manage to stay mentally sharp and focused despite the physical toll? growing up in a sports family must have been quality, especially with your old man being in the game too. bet that added a special touch to it. must've laid the groundwork for your love of the game. the sport is in your blood. it's fascinating that you've been doing it since 2013 – any standout memories or matches that really stick with you?

[mattybtkachuk]

[mattybtkachuk]

I always tell people if you don’t have a passion for it and it isn’t in your heart then it’s just not for you and I understand sports isn’t exactly up everyone’s alley. I appreciate your admiration though that is completely appreciated. Rowing practice I’ve never done anything of that sort before but you’re right playing hockey for me after a hard fought game yeah a little sore definitely isn’t a joke but I’m used to taking hits and things like that so it doesn’t necessarily bug me much.

[pdynevor-deactivated20240307]

i guess it's all about finding that thing that truly resonates with you, that makes the sore muscles and exhaustion feel worth it 'cause most sports are just not it for me. it's fascinating to hear about your experiences with hockey and the resilience it requires. how long have you been playing hockey? rowing felt like an entirely different world to me 'cause i'm not at all used to making such big efforts and being so physical in my job. the repetitive motion, the discipline, it's a unique challenge.

[mattybtkachuk]

Agree with you there man. Truthfully after we take hits and things like that my body does get sore.

[mattybtkachuk]

I’ve finally got all caught up on all of my favorite television shows, now I need something new to be able to watch. Do you have any recommendations? @tayzakharperez

[tayzakharperez]

I've currently been watch 'My Strange Addictions', 'How I Met Your Mother', 'Catfish' and '1000lb Sisters'. Just depends on the mood of that day. Also, a lot of 'The British Bake Off' almost daily, thanks to my partner.

[mattybtkachuk]

That last one sounds wild haha. I see, I have seen a few of those. I always like to watch haunted shows too but I’m not sure which ones are on even more except for Ghost Adventures.

What is one of the absolute worse things to happen to you while you were traveling? I’m pretty sure most people have had at least one bad experience right? @daisyedgjcones
