biz looks like he closes the fridge door with his hip

Biz is sitting like he’s at a book club meeting

Can’t imagine how chatty this guy would be after a few lines..

I think Twist played a role in killing the enforcer role. He was so dominant in the late 90s that he could barely even get a willing combatant. The Blues’ opponents would usually not even dress an enforcer, because it was like sending a guy to his funeral. And that experiment eventually led coaches and GMs to realize that they didn’t even need an enforcer-just play dirty hockey and don’t answer the bell. Turtle, skate away, act like you don’t understand why you’re being challenged to a fight.... That’s what nearly everyone did in the late 90s against the Blues and now it’s the gold standard across the whole league.

We love this guy in St Louis. Saddest moment in stl was when he fought Chaser during Chaser's stint away from the Blues.

Twister is a legend! Scary, scary guy on the ice but seems very down to earth! I hope to meet him someday

Its so classic that biz sits like a girl. Hes a legend.

Loved Twister back in his playing days, my uncle would always take me to his bar&grill when I was in town!

This is how I met one of my best friends. I was 6'5" tall and 250lbs playing B league, this little Indian guy who's all of 5'4" and 150lbs throws, what I thought was a cheap shot on me. Next time I'm on the ice with him in the corner I remember saying to myself, I'm gonna lay this little dude out and show him whats up. No bullshit, he put me on my fucking back, fucking ass over tea kettle. This started a massive brawl between both teams, game was called, everyone was kicked off the ice, and kept separate till they left the rink. That was 2007, he's been my best friend since about a week after that incident.

1:36 Twist's dog lets Biz know he's comin' through

Even this dudes voice is tough

What an awesome story teller! Great pod today boys!

Batshit crazy tough old School boy .....the good old days were fun ,but gone forever....✨

Biz doing his best Portnoy impression sittin down errrrr?

Agree completely with Twist here. "The Code" isn't what it once was. Like Berube says, most the tough guys nowadays lead with a cross-check.

This is the best interview yet. I highly recommend the WHOLE podcast!

remember watching him for the Peoria Rivermen back in 1990, Kerry Clark took a shot at keith osborne for the rivermen, Twist skates over and says "you know we have to go now"....and they did. that was one of the three fights. He and Kelly Chase were so fun to watch that year. I would often see Twist downtown after games, funny guy. He knew his role well, I even remember when Gretzky was traded to St. Louis, the comment from Twist was "The Great One will get the respect he deserves here". But the best was the ESPN commercial when his wife said he needed his "banky" blanket when he was on the road playing. Those were the good hockey days!

Twister telling it like it is . !!! 👍🏻

He sounds like an old pat macafee

I miss those days of Hockey :( Tony played for Peoria in the IHL for a while. So many that I miss... Tony Twist, Steve Fletcher, Mark Major, Enrico Ciccone, Rob Ray, Andy Bezeau, Mike Butters, Kerry Toporowski, Kevin Kaminski, John Craighead, Tracy Egeland, Chris Lipuma... a few off the top of my head. The excitement and electricy these guys brought everytime they stepped on the ice. Thanks for the memories fellas.

Biz gettin comfy there, looks like he sits down when he pees

He's pretty articulate for a guy who's job was to bash other's players head in

Excellent dog cameo at 1:38

They weren’t kidding at the start of the interview - that hand beside the bud would damage most hoops

Twister sounds like Fed Smoker. One hell of a storyteller. Like RA said it’s like listing to an old wrestler tell stories.

The biz comments are freaking hilarious!!!! Seriously tho - why the hell was he sitting like that. LOL!!!

Tony twist was so dam tough love this guy

Congrats to Chase Decker for his new gig!!! Have fun Chase!!

I was going through some old hockey cards last week and found a tony twist card and couldn't believe that was his real name. Fucking legend.

No joke , that there is a Bad man... Tony Twist. Still my #1 pick of the Toughest enforcer I've ever seen. He didn't just win fights, he broke orbital bones and noses just flinging off his gloves. Dude was scary tough.

I was at the game when Hartford came to St. Louis for the first time after Chase left with Shanahan in the Pronger trade and Twist fought Chase. It's probably the greatest thing I've ever seen in my time of going to games circa 1991 to the present. Wayne Gretzky scored his first goal at home as a Blue that game but nobody cared, the main event was Twist/Chase.

Tony twist is my all time favorite enforcer

0:01 .. straight to the comments

Could you upload the full podcast?

This guy is awesome .

Biz looks like my aunt carol just sitting on the couch....taking the conversation in..

Is there somewhere I can watch the whole video podcast.

You guys should upload full episodes on KZfaq with video

Is there a full interview somewhere?

I like how Tony pets the dog. Atta boy Twist. He threw phucking bombs.

Biz looking likes he trying to add Tony to his kill list

Twister was a BEAST. Mad respect for him & all of the tough fella's. Both past & present. Toughest guys in Sports, hands down.

Awesome guest. I was very surprised!

watch 3:15 his eyes go crazy, is he a human anymore lol

Tony was like the Gary Vee of the locker room in the 90s

He’s 100% correct about it being a job. I had the role of enforcer for most of my career. The opposing role on the other teams were always known and we were like a fraternity. Just did a job but hung out plenty of times with the guys you just fought. Everything was understood and left on the ice. It’s when the pests or turtles came along that would spark a problem with a skill player and you’d have to go after the pest who wouldn’t fight but would still go after your stars that it became quite annoying. Other teams would sit out their enforcers for a pest with better skill. So no solving of problems on the ice could happen cause the pest turtles. Different era different code, I’m just glad I played during that time.

twister, reaper, odjick, probie, etc etc...greatest era...my buddy had this hockey fights video that was a bootleg copy and all grainy back in the vcr days...it was hours and hours of all the fights between all the big dogs...yeah...basically you tube in the 90s

The Tony Twist hat trick is scoring 3 goals in a single season

this guy is a fuckin electric factory

This video makes me want to go out a get a Coors light....

Biz what’s with that cream track suit? Didn’t even see you there for a bit. Thought it was some throw pillows.

"when you're featherin' it brother" Sounds just like fedsmoker.

Where’s the full interview?

"Tony Twist joined episode 246 of Spittin' Chiclets and told a hilarious story of how he always gets pizza with his opponent after getting in fights with them, which included three with his best man in his fist wedding." Is the "fist wedding" a typo or a Freudian slip?

*Met Wendel Clark, at a Golf Banquet. Sat down at the bar, beside me and stayed to talk to me for about an hour. Openly told me, Tony Twist was the guy that he worried about the most, because Tony actually wanted to hurt people. Motorcycle accident, really cut his career short. Man was a tank.*

Twister rocks!

Due was total animal easily one of the toughest guys ever played the game top five

for the love of gawd.. sit like a man Biz...lol what a Beauty!

Ahhh back when I was a kid.....The Twister and Chase days. Those were fun! We would usually lose to the Red Wings but those two would beat the shit out of entire team.

I can hear a Boston accent In 2 seconds why do we get confused with new York. He said he got hard and he enjoyed it 😂😂😂

Dude used to break helmets in half with a punch...most considered him one of, if not, THE heaviest puncher of his era.

I heard rumors Twister was around 260 pounds back around the 98 season and christ he is still a massive guy

Pizza and beer

I miss old time hockey

Some of the best content online for hockey....accept they are all like 90 seconds long. Come on guys!

We need him here in Montreal way to many panzies

Think biz was squeezin a turtle head

Biz is clearly intimidated by the Twister 🌪

You guys need a bigger corporate sponsor banner.

Mr Twist...long time fan...question: if you suited up again today..still in your prime, who would you enjoy dropping the gloves against?

Sounds like a hot take but the dream of a Canadian kid holding that Cup means a lot more to them than it does to a Russian. Twist would totally duke a teammate for standing in the way of that.

I got to see Tony a few times in St. Louis when Wayne Gretzky played for them for a year or two. If somebody even looked cross eyed at Wayne, Tony was all over him.

Close your eyes he sounds almost like Chris Farley

Sounds like he's been gargling with shards of glass since his playing days. Which actually wouldn't surprise me!

should have interviewed

3:04 Is that Mike Wazowski?

Where’s Twisters legs?

Unfortunately, this day and age, enforcers are far and few between. Do we still need the enforcer dropping the gloves to build momentum when a team needs it? Absolutely! Twister always got the job done. Miss you Twister! Let’s go Blues! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Did bud light seltzer have something to with sponsoring this podcast? Couldn’t tell

Hi

Hey guys! Did you get a chance to ask Tony how he feels about running goalie Steve McKichan from behind and injuring him, ending his Nhl career after a single game? An entire dream ruined after one game has gotta be a real kick in the chiclets, wouldn't you say?

Funny how he didn't mention anything about when he destroyed Mckichan career.

I'm here for the doggo now.

Mann, I was in Davos last week for a game. So skilled hockey, and the have space so the have room to be technical too. but theres no emotion there, no excitement. Way too much like soccer.

What did Twister’s legs go?

Bud Lite?

twist you did not play in any playoff games in Quebec you watched all 6 just like the rest of us

Hockey players are the best.

Hey biz ... what’s with the juicy jumpsuit

if you look at his stats, tony didnt play a single playoff game with the nordiques. sooooo i guess that story isnt true.

PG boy

Gotta hide your chub some how

"Appreciation of the game"? I thought "the game" was hockey, not boxing?

The good old days when hockey was hockey instead of snowflakes on ice....

Biz Is looking like a thiccboy - 2 Cs

I would actually say the Americanization of the game, and the inflated salaries have led to a less intense style of play -- yes, faster and more technical, but ultimately devoid of passion compared to the 80's and 90's. People get SO excited now for the Flames-Oilers games, which prove, to me at least, that in the case of hockey, passion trumps technique. Without passion, hockey is just a mediocre game to watch, at best. It's come so close to soccer on ice the past few seasons that it can be absurd to watch.

Chris Nilan and Dick Williams used to go for beers after their fights together. Lots of beers !!!

I 100p thought he was doing a Chris Farley impression. Their voices are interchangeable.

Y does he lowkey sound like Pat McAfee

Can somebody tell me what the fuck Twist was talking about with the Russian players?
