009 - J-Bru

Happy holidays! Hope all your stomachs are full, your trees are bright and your resolutions are on pause as we move towards the new year. On this episode i'm blessed to be in the company of Jason Bruce, affectionately known as J-Bru, ECMA award winner, former professional basketball player, and a fathers rights advocate. Me and Jay chat about the contradiction, hypocrisy and frustration with how the mask rules are applied and how we are maneuvering COVID. We chat about the sacrifice and commitment of Pat Stay & how to deal with negativity and hate. Jay gives me some insight into what he thinks makes Classified click, and why his career has spanned into a fourth decade. We then switch our focus to sports, where Jay gives me his thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers woes, why Nate Darlings situation is different than Lindell Wigginton's, and he gives me his thoughts on if boxing needs belt reform. We stick to boxing to talk why the Paul Brothers fighting makes and doesn't make sense, what MLB has done right and wrong with their rule changes, and what the Vancouver Canucks, and other sports teams with name and logo issues, can and can't (and should and shouldn't) do. Jay and I shared two years coaching the Halifax Hurricanes U14 division 1 girls basketball team, and in those two years we quickly developed a lifelong brotherhood. This is a piece of what we used to talk about after games and practices when we were done talking ball.
