this thread made me go look at his twitter account and the last few hours today he’s been arguing and responding to random people like a child. You know your an embarrassment when your behavior is embarrassing for a podcast like spitting chicklets.

I never really hated RA but also didn’t really care for him same time. He was just kinda…there…I guess. He’s definitely gone off the rails the past few year and is just very unlikeable now.

He was being a creep with her and said some inappropriate things. It’s just sad to see it happening. I didn’t follow closely. Only listened to the show because my team was in the playoffs and a subject of talk.

He definitely seemed to be off. I thought the guy was sick with how much he was trembling and tweaking on camera. His partying took a physical toll on him. No wonder the others stepped in.

How do you be a creep to and say anything inappropriate to a woman that flashed her teets to 20k people?

The weekly Reddit thread has found its way to HF.

RA will be back. He’s getting his shit straight. Was in a rough spot? Yes but everything will be way over exaggerated here.

Don’t listen to the pod anymore but when I did every episode ended up like this:

Current/former player: “tells a great story”

RA: “So who was your favorite superhero when you were 7”

C/F: “I guess this person?”

RA: “Oh that’s cool, btw have you ever seen The Town?”

There is no side. The guy had some issues and needed help so he’s getting some. People have problems. They aren’t robots.

Hope he gets everything straight and comes back.
You read the string of texts wrong, friend.

@TheNumber4 and I interact on the Oiler pages frequently. All I was suggesting to him was that RA wasn’t sidelined because he was on the Oiler bandwagon. It’s much more than that.

That says a lot worse about you then you'll likely ever realize.

Make way

RA was the co-founder of the popular Spittin Chiclets podcast and host for 8 years. Over the past couple years, he's developed a cocaine problem, his drinking has gotten out of hand, and he regularly takes edibles and mushrooms before the job. His wife recently divorced him. To clarify, if this sounds like someone in his 30s who can't let college go, he's 53 years old. His interview with Barkov was embarrassing, he's obviously out of his mind and he wound up sleeping on the beach that night. After this, he was essentially removed from the podcast to get clean, but he hasn't done so and he remains off the podcast. I think that pretty much sums it up.

Can't spell rehab without RA. Hope he is well and returns in some capacity, even if it's temporary or phasing out. He is a staple of the show.

He is (was?) close with the Tkachuks but then got caught up in the Edmonton come back hype. Got drunk and rooted for ‘em, then tried to join the Tkachuks with the cup on the ice and got told “haha screw off. No, seriously”. And he was partying pretty hard, plus a recent divorce- they agreed he needed some time off, which is fair.

whole thing made me realize how insecure hockey players are hahah

guy rooted for a historic comeback and it pissed made them that mad that they couldn’t even take it in stride. Sad.
