real good, real good, real good, real good real good, real good real good real good real good and real good real good yes ladies and gentlemen hello and welcome to episode 15 of Real Good Show of the Big One Five and Oh what an emotional day it has been that has led to the recording of this episode Justin Morris that happy to be with you as always and with me Are you gonna say what he is is Stefan hack and John Cullen and you didn't even have anything in the intro for me to make fun of you? Well, I just wanted to do it I could say I should have mentioned that this is the America's best worst Canadian sports podcast It's a sports podcast that's been disappeared from the new and noteworthy section of iTunes because boys we're no longer new and noteworthy We're what's hot? And I don't know how I feel about that it doesn't like really I feel great about it I've been hot for most of my life It doesn't really seem like a promotion though because no much more prominently Yeah, I feel like you can come back though. I feel like you can come back to new and noteworthy because there are podcasts I have like a hundred episodes that are still in your noteworthy So we just have to be now become we have to shoot for the noteworthy We're no longer the new for no longer the new half now.

We have to shoot for the note where the half right now We're in the end. Yeah, we gotta be hot back to and then we gotta go from hot to noteworthy Yeah, I just noticed your wine glass has curling on it Which is amazing that gets me feeling really fired up and so did the Toronto motherfucking blue jays Yeah, I don't think as hot as we might be on the iTunes standings and we were at one time the number 69 sports podcasting world I bring that up because it's a funny number People performing oral sex at the same time Exactly that on each other but as far as we might be we cannot touch the the heat that is emanating off of that Toronto baseball team Right now the blue jays game five just happened literally just finished moments before we started recording this and I don't smoke But I felt like I probably should take it up at the end of that game Well, here's the thing I would love to talk about the game at first Let's talk about how the game almost got you fired from your job Well, we can get fired. I'm not more of an ovechkin parallel because we had a vetchkin slept in was forced to miss Tuesday's game because you know, it's not like there's anyone buying tickets to see the capitals that maybe wants to see Oh, that's good play, you know, I mean, that seems like a legitimate reason to bench him and you know You had the same problem phone off forgot yet a shift my phone died actually whatever died I'm doing a good tweets. Yeah, that's fair.

They were allotted good tweets lying around And yeah, I had put this shift down in my phone as for next Wednesday, which is still your mistake It's a big stupid mistake. Yeah, but then I checked my email literally right before we start recording this It was like see you tonight What keska say and then we thought we were gonna have to do a two-man podcast Then your roommate Graham who was here to watch the J's game was gonna step in and be a de facto Justin Which would have been how I was looking forward to because making fun of you comes to me so naturally I can only assume that making fun of your roommate would be even easier So it's just I got to say I was excited for it But of course incredibly happy that you're here to join us as always and that you didn't get fired from your job Yeah, not fired. They were not particularly pleased, but they were like who would be any of your money don't worry about it Your money, baby, and you don't even know exactly and either do we show up late again A roller coaster of emotions in the baseball game and then a roller coaster of emotions during the my professional life immediately Afterwards beautiful. I love it, but I'm not fired and I am here to do this podcast and I'm sure I Yeah, you're fired then we're all good and yeah, so I What a what a game like I I know there are people who listen to this show who are like which you guys just shut up about the blue J's already Your food Vancouver there in Toronto.

I prefer the Seattle Mariners if you're gonna talk about baseball at all I know there are people that exist like that and to those people I'm gonna say you turn off this fucking podcast right now, and we'll see you next week everyone just turned off the I'm from Toronto first of all so go fuck yourself I mean if you two want to sit here and pose around and be like well, yeah, Toronto fine You can borrow the blue J's for now, okay, but I'm from Toronto I cheer for the mother fucking maple Leafs So I earned the J's by just proxy of having to cheer for the worst hockey team in existence according to ESPN And they were the worst sports team in it. Yeah, I know we're sports. Sorry. We're sports franchise So yeah, if you are out there thinking that we're somehow posers just know that John is authentic I'm not an I R posers for sure.

I'm a bad man. Yeah, which is no I mean, I mean this is the thing people are getting really mad at the J's supposedly having like bandwagon fans and the people who were Get who seem to get the most mad about that are red socks and Yankees fans Yeah, hello guess what go fuck yourself you and university students turn off this goddamn podcast right now because I'm zero respect for you You're nothing you don't think you're you're really telling me that my team can't have bandwagon fans Yankees fan Yankees fan I would love to meet a hundred people that can name more than two players on the Yankees roster They don't fucking exist. They're not even around but they're all wearing the hat. Yeah.

Well, oh cool. We've got the hat Oh, look at me. I'm basically Fred Durst now. I'm cool.

I got a Yankee's hat. I'm Jay Z Jay Z man, whatever No, he was the red Yankee's hat. Yeah, how dare you not know more about Limbiscuit you sorry son? I'm a stained guy Since we used saying staying on this podcast, but probably not long enough You said you're gonna quit if we kept singing stained last time.

Yeah, so I mean you guys can keep doing it Like even if you're not a blue J's fan even if you're like barely even a fan of baseball that was an amazing game Oh that game had everything like that was comparable to it was the green Bay Seattle playoff game from last year Yeah, it's just like it like how was this happening? Yeah, it was so that seventh inning is the maybe the most insane hour of sports I've ever seen yeah, like so many dramatic swings in each direction it went on forever and ever and ever Yeah, like fifty three minute seventh inning and my roommate Graham who would have done a great job as guest host was bringing it up during the game That just goes to show like how important context is because one of the big knocks against baseball is like how long it goes And how little happens and if you were just to hear that a game had like a fifty three minute inning You'd be like that sounds terrible. Yeah, the worst but to see it was the greatest thing It's like that Vancouver, Canadians game I went to this year where there was like 11 combined errors in the first three innings And the score was like nine to six for one of the teams after three innings and it took two hours to play three innings because it was like a Non-stop circus music running in the background while these at very average baseball players were trying their best So I mean that's the thing it's a I was thinking that today too Like is there's no I don't think there's any other sport where the excitement level from is is less inverse from regular season to playoffs And we've talked about that on the show before basically how baseball almost becomes a completely different sport in the post season Yes, finally because it finally has stakes Yeah, and Stefan and I were talking about as we're watching the game like I've watched playoff baseball in previous seasons and enjoyed it a Lot more than I would a regular season game because it has those stakes But I've never watched post season baseball where not only did it have that those stakes I was emotionally invested in them as well Yeah, that's the thing when you if you have a team in baseball, it's out of control and cuz like yeah like watching playoffs previous You just you know you want to see I'm sure it's like if you were to watch the playoffs and the Leafs weren't in it for example So every year yeah, basically every year you just want to see the game play that the highest you're watching for love of the game Yeah, and like I don't care that I you know can count the number of J's regular season games that I watch this season on two hands Like I don't care it doesn't matter. I'm here right now when fucking sure you have 81 fingers Watch half the season.

I'm here when things are on the line and say I'd like three fingers just to further promote this like Ogre's sort of and they don't care for our listeners. They don't care if people are bandwagoning. They want people to hop on like well They have to it's almost impossible to be like a fan that watches every like you have to be really dedicated to watch every J's Gamer close to that I would say this season. I probably watched Parts of at least half the games I would say because I just I love Donaldson so even before the J's made those big moves I watched the games just because they were still playing decently I mean they weren't amazing obviously, but they were playing okay It was a treat to watch Donaldson play I've always been a huge fan about Easton in carnacion the young guys I mean it was too bad to see strowman get hurt But you know I love all those guys So you know it makes it even more crazy when you think of and then obviously like after they picked up two low in price I watched almost every game or part of almost every game and so yeah, it's just not so How crazy it's gotten in man is it yeah, is it ever fun?

And I came in here basically like ready to say like you know like The blue J's were probably the best team in baseball heading down the stretch into the playoffs Yeah, that doesn't always mean anything when you get to the postseason actually in a five game series pretty much every sport It doesn't the two teams that are in the finals of any championship round are typically you know sometimes it is sometimes It does work out to be the absolute two best teams like when we had that that Super Bowl a few years ago of The Seahawks versus the Broncos that was the number one offense against the number one defense You couldn't ask for a better matchup it usually doesn't shake down like that though No, that's the thing with playoffs right and you know if a game goes to Deciding game five especially in a five game series absolutely anything can happen right like as we saw tonight exactly when everything happened Yeah So you know I was ready to come in here and be like well They they really made a series of it and it gave us a showdown the stretch and that's about all that we can ask for But no we can ask for a hell of a lot more because another this show doesn't have to stop anytime soon And should we explain exactly what happened at something I'm sure yeah, yeah It's really over I mean I think everyone saw it But it's I think it will gain some humor actually when it's read out all in a row Yeah, see like how just fucking crazy it was so it all started There's a runner on third and two outs and Russell Martin the booty catcher through the ball back to the pitcher, but it hit Shinsu choose hand. Yeah, it's also good. Sorry. This description is also gonna be funnier because Justin and I are gonna sing While you're recapping right as you as we do And then what happens to the ball bounce to the side the runner was allowed to score and I guess there was probably about like 20 minutes Where they kind of like reviewed it like twice and it just got weirder and weirder the longer it took and then and then Completion sick it is oh door who ran in that run.

Yeah, so Basically single-handedly one like games one and two for the Rangers not single-handedly, but he was the difference Rube and his vertices so Jason starts ranked rash on the field and apparently hit a baby with a beer can baby got hit right on the soft spot Baby got hit we're all laughing about this well We were trying to figure it out earlier during the game like how does how does that baby? How is it being held at such an angle that exposes it to a falling beer can to from the upper left? Yeah, she had to have been holding it up like Lion King style I Do my head is like if I say Lion King yeah, that's my favorite part of the Lion King theme song is that there are at least Ten comedians I've seen who use it as a punchline like it will be like something like someone finds something and then they're like They hold it up like it's the Lion King and they sing the song and every single person has a different interpretation of how those African words are pronounced so I like I would love to see and again if we have some of our show losers who are particular nerds Our show losers who have a particularly who are particularly nerdy and by the way that's an endearing term We the three of us are huge losers So this is like an endearing like honestly if you saw where we were recording this podcast right now You'd be like oh Mike like we're sitting on it We're cramped at a tiny kitchen table. We're all sweaty from the J's game Justin almost got fired minutes before this podcast started like we are losers My roommate is being babysat by a ps4 right now Graham Display rocket league and be quiet.

Shout-in endorsement for rocket. Yes You're in which would be anyone listening to the fuck yeah, exactly everyone um so anyway if you're a particular nerd I would absolutely love for someone to go on YouTube find people singing this song Especially as part of jokes and just supercut all of the different pronunciations together because that would be amazing But like this is just the beginning of not just the perfect inning But every single player who did what happened as the inning unfolded beam the exact right player to do those things It starts with Rugnito do her coming in yeah, and like you know if this was a movie you'd be giving an Oscar to the casting director Basically yeah lunch and shinsu chu being at that and he was the one who hit the home run Yeah, to put to put texas like at that time that was the that was the play of the game the play of the game Right it was two it was two one for a very long time It was two at this point and that was three two on that weird play exact And then it's reviewed like to be overturned because the ump blew the play dead and that continued and then even though he blew it dead And nobody reacted to anything he was like oh I fucked that up That should are you saying the ump blew it dead because he was referring to his call? He certainly does not have a whistle well. Yeah wave did wave did yeah wave did you know I would get it gets to the bottom of the inning with the J's up and there's like three straight errors from the Rangers tremendous for Ruses are low Ryan goins and Kevin plart.

Yeah, so the bases are loaded This is after pull art has made probably his most insane catch of That's not a saying no the one reaching over the wall. Yeah, that's true one of the best catches But it turns out like time. Yeah, he just like cycles through what member of the justice league he should be compared to it's usually Superman on this day the Flash yes Well the thing I love about about par and the announcer's were pointing it out the other night as well as that he's actually so fast that He doesn't try to predict where the balls going off the bat He actually takes a read step and then pursues the balls so you can actually see on that replay when the balls hit He's not moving on contact. He waits to see where the ball is starts running and is fast It looks like he was running like in fast forward.

Yeah, it's crazy Yeah, and we have made so much fun of the Vancouver Canadians on this show we have Kevin Palar former Vancouver Canadian Absolutely. Yep, and he was a lot fucking worse when he played for them. Oh, so then Josh Johnson comes up It's an RBI J down. Yeah, yeah, and then up next was Jose Batista Hating monstrous home run and then the best bat flip of all time.

Yeah, let's just hear it. Yeah So beautiful that is the goal horn. Oh, I love it. Yeah, so Any other I don't think any other most ballparks will set off fireworks.

Yeah, yeah, a lot of them I don't know if there's any other I can't say with certainty whether anyone has a horn or something like that or not but Damn, that was beautiful I'm getting the most I was sitting alone I was teaching today and school had ended so I was sitting alone in my classroom So I couldn't tear myself away from the game and that happened and there were four girls sitting outside my room Which I didn't know and when Jose hit the home run I freaked out and I like ran around the classroom and I was banging the desks and I was hooting and hollering and then In the break between the seventh and eighth inning I went to the bathroom and I went out into the hall and the girls just instantly started laughing at me I felt really I felt really cool then well people losing their minds in the building obviously We were losing our minds here on the couch and step into the room I honestly had a headache after I sat down from jumping up and yelling and screaming and dancing around the room basically What what an incredible moment and for Jose Batista who has been so good for the last, you know several years now Oh, yeah, his rise kind of came out of nowhere But he's been locked in at like a below-market value contract for for several seasons now Yeah, he signed him for eight million a year, which is crazy Yeah, and yeah because they got him off the waiver wire from Pittsburgh Pittsburgh. Yeah, and you know that yeah That's impressive then he just turned into the Sun's legal player And yeah, it's like it was akin to like, you know God bless him if Roy Holiday had gotten the opportunity It would have been like Roy Holiday pitching a no-hitter in a JZ uniform You know it just feels like a true Blue J player his majorly career really started when he got with the Blue J's They made all these moves around him I mean if you look at the team he was the first player there they got in Karnasion after I mean and he's the other elder statesman They got him after Bautista and then obviously they made all of the recent additions in the last couple of seasons He's been there from the beginning to see a guy like that hit that home run man It's there's few better feelings in sports I retweeted a great tweet from Daniel Squizato who said that you know There's really no better feeling in sports than seeing a guy who's been with the same team for a long time step up in the biggest moment Especially considering like this is probably the first year in a long time where you can say Jose Batista is not the face of the franchise No, no, Josh Donaldson is for he's gonna be the ALMBP I think and then after their moves of the deadline maybe Batista is like number four on the list like three at the Highest basically yeah, exactly I think you'd put price in Donaldson probably ahead and then and Strowman is quickly turning into one of the faces of the franchise as well So so for him to kind of be like surpassed by the talent that's coming is good That's what they should be doing in building the team that way But like you know how to feel good for him This is exactly what you were saying basically for being able to have that moment and even though he may have been surpassed by other guys on the roster He still gets to be the one who just like clinches it when it's all on the line So the inning still wasn't over because benches cleared twice and one of them was because Encarnacion was trying to calm the crowd down to get them to stop throwing shit on the field Oh, I think that was Batista. No, he was up to bat next Right came into the batter's box I mean it's telling the crowd to like but it did to be fair did kind of what it was like And other fans in the front row you could see them in the video were like mimicking his actions You could see Encarnacion's puppy dog face at the time. Yeah, Dyson could have seen it You would have known like oh, that's just Edwin being a goof.

Yeah Dyson even after the game was saying if they want to behave like that that's whatever Trying to stop assaulting babies. I said his pro baby assault. Yeah, bro, baby assault Well, we were I mean I feel like a baby needs to get hit by a beer during every day's game at this point Yeah, it's like the new ceremonial like the Seahawks raised the 12 or the first pitch or the first pitch Yeah, the first pitch is a beer off of a baby. Yeah, you have a celebrity in the upper deck.

Yeah, and there's a celebrity holding a baby Yes, absolutely. I'm like trying to plunk this baby. That's amazing. It's like the playoff baby It's the baby that's born like immediately after the team clinches their playoff spot.

Yeah, it has to be the same Baby they got hit today. I think I think he's gonna get the shit kicked out of it. Maybe he's gonna write a book in 20 years No, that's horrendous Pelted with beer. Yeah, they didn't continue to just stretch on and on well mark Burley got ejected He's not even on the playoff roster.

Yeah, it's quite a problem to dug out and then Didn't Brett Cecil get ejected also? Oh, they thought it was And that was based on the Rangers manager got like a fan arrested. Yeah, that was cool to where he was pointing someone out I think they said people running on the field. Yeah, exactly They didn't show it which to me is my least favorite thing in the world where like the logic is like Oh, well if we show them doing it then more people want to do it.

It's like well You don't do it all the time. Oh, yeah, I want to see you fan. Just get clocked by security guard It's like yeah, so fun Do you guys see that there was one really good one this year where the guy just I was at a red Sox game? I think and it was tweeted out someone tweeted it out there like you know This security guard the caption was like the security guards waited his whole life for this moment You literally see this guy run on the field and just out of the bottom corner of the screen She's the security guard dressing all orange and he's just running full speed and just spears the shit out of this guy and everyone in the crowd So good the crowd is like losing it.

They're pumped up because the security guard just leveled this dude He wasn't even naked so I mean it would have been funnier obviously like his balls are up at his chin And it seems to be happening more and more lately anyways even though they're not showing it I realize they're treating it like when somebody's trying to jump off a bridge the bridge is closed for a police incident Oh, I think it's more that there's just like social media and people have camera phones and stuff. So we just see it more Yeah, I suppose I also like the one of my favorite run-ins this year too is with Roger Federer Did you see that like there was a fan? I think it was at the US Open who ran on the court to take a selfie with him And it was so funny because Federer is so classy But so you could see the like the like devil an angel in his mind like he was really unhappy that security had let this guy run on the court But he also didn't want to wreck this guy's selfie So you can see like he kind of gives us like half smile half I want to murder you type look at it in the selfie It's so funny because he even he even reacts like a guy Because Federer's like what are you doing kind of to the guy and the guy holds his phone out and puts his arm around Roger And then Roger space automatically goes to the camera then he goes Oh shit No, I don't want this and he just puts on like a half like smile thing and then after the game He was just like no that's totally unacceptable like security can't just let people onto the court like whatever and they're like well He wasn't trying to hurt you like he was just trying to get a picture and Roger's like I'm not happy This girl needs to be increased or never but you can see in that moment He didn't want to like just like slam this kid's phone on the ground or whatever Oh, man It's so great when classy athletes get put in terrible situations like that It's happened so often in like pro wrestling recently to though all of the former shield guys Dean Ambrose Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins have people running in To their matches or during their entrances like constantly lately and they don't do anything the WWE treats of the exact same way So there's way less places to cut away I think I saw one of them So like usually it'll just cut away to like John Cena's face as he like yells orders at a security guard to tackle someone But you know back in the day I feel like you know N.W.O. Days like Kevin Nash and Scott Hall and those guys would just beat the shit out of the ring Well Scott Hall might ask if he could buy drugs off the guy first and then he's like oh you're not a drug dealer Okay, but that's the thing I feel like a lot of times the WWE guys are trying to pan away because the wrestlers are assaulting Oh shit I know After you got decked in the head by a briefcase I was showing Victoria a few months ago.

I guess you're not taking any Exactly exactly So yeah, are we done? The second bench clearing thing was because Dyson tapped to let's get his ass. Oh, yeah That was an interesting way at the end of the ending until it's he's walking back to the dugout Like you believe this fucking guy is hit touch my ass That's like a baseball thing to do anyway Yeah, everyone in baseball does it in too low to be fair looks like if you a dream up a baseball player in your mind That's what too low looks like so to me. He's a guy that would love the ass pass But clearly was not a fan and two things first of all do you think they call him Dyson because he sucks?

Oh Waiting for that from pre-podcast It's a vacuum brand. Yeah, it's a vacuum brand and a really good Like saying like a rotating ball. Yeah, exactly like Sam Dyson and And to low and Donaldson they showed to low and Donaldson coming out for the next inning and you can see that too low was saying Something to Donaldson and Donaldson's clearly mouthing are you fucking serious? I don't know what Dyson said the two logs I don't think the ass pat would have set him off but it must have been it must have been something like you know He was like gently sticking the knife in you know like when you pat somebody after you tell them something bad You can like hey buddy.

You can't on the shoulder. It seemed like a that like fuck you I got you out like just our cat like calling someone like pal Yeah, yeah So yeah, it seemed like they were really really going for it I also think that if Donaldson wants to just fully embrace the man bun and cut a hole in the top of his hat I'll not Chris Jericho. I would be more than happy with that White panel hats though. That's like the only drawback of this run.

I mean the fact that they brought back the blue and it's that vibrant Oh, yeah, so it's good enough. I'll make do with that. I guess but The white panel and they brought back the white panels for one game. Yeah, and then it started to seem like they might but yeah That was pretty awesome But yeah, do you remember Jericho used to play in like charity hockey games and he would cut a hole in the top of the helmet Yeah, his brain would go through so I would not rather I was like I don't think pine cones right, but I'm just gonna go with it.

But anyway, so that's a hell of a game Yeah, sure was and sorry to our loser listeners. I really I talked a lot there I had a ginger ale record of this. I'm super and it was like you know Also the J's one one of those games where even when they were in the lead and perhaps even more so when they're in the lead You're just living and dying on every single pitch which is what baseball should be that's what's good about it Is what slow about it in the regular season becomes what's like good about mine? A keenly suspenseful about it come play off time and my god some of those pitches towards the end in the ninth inning like I Was I was burping like Robert Durst basically And you know I actually killed like his neighbor and his wife and his friend.

Yeah, he's just a character. Yeah, watch the jinx everybody Also, we're two for two in Durst mentions that we got both of them Fred and let's get the both on the part I have Robert on the podcast and he's gonna be like Justin disgust. Oh my god It's a mask out shit. Yeah, it's a callback.

Yeah, well, I guess maybe if the Raptors want to go on a run here The thing to do is to just peg a king baby with a beer in the face. Yeah, there you go Baby, we'll see if they can do that at some point this season. It would certainly help their play Suppose but just want to say I do hope that baby's okay. Yeah, but also it was really funny Yeah, like you know, and also make sure Justin's not the one checking to see if it's okay Allow it to be like paramedics or some other trained staff with Like I can't yeah, but it's just get ahead to like 20 episodes where I've said something else that's stupid And we just that's you know what like that's good It's a great feeling when you it's like when you're winning a sport sporting game by a lot and there's just that loose feeling You're just like yeah, we really got this it's kind of like this It's like there's really nothing bad for Stefan and I here because either we just get to make fun of you for this or you say So you chop yourself.

Yeah, which I mean you got a it's gonna be really bad. Yeah, yeah You never know We'll see what you can do. Okay. Well one last thing on the J's before we move on Which is that I just feel like you know what whether I'm bandwagging it or not my fandom is like hereditary My grandma was like the biggest baseball fan that I will ever know in my life I never could get into it, but she was obsessed with it love the J's love the Mariners because those were the teams that you could get on TV Here basically back 15 20 years ago Yeah, so and you know, I never could get into it when she was a super fan But you know now now I get it though Though in my defense if you were to ask her what she liked about it She'd be like tight pants and cute butts, so I don't I'm not into that part of it.

You know it's babies getting hit with you Twitter is full of people being like, you know My dad or my grandfather or somebody like would have loved oh, yeah totally my grandma also was a huge J's fan speaking of fans who watched every Single game she was pretty much and that's was before PVR's. I mean she was pretty much every game She watched almost all of them. Yeah, if I was a kid going over to my grandparents place They were either gonna be watching a Canucks game a baseball game or wheel of fortune or jeopardy That's about the grandparent like trifecta right there pretty much my grandma loves coronation Street Oh, oh, yeah, but that comes on before jeopardy. It doesn't make sense at similar time time slot It's like the it's like post dinner although for us like literally just post dinner for that.

It's like two hours It's like they're before bed programming at 7 30 people eat early dessert. That was the joke People eat really have a finished dinner and have some coronation street for dessert. Absolutely. Well, hey, whatever floats your boat I did want to address a correction from last week's program into that really, you know, like we just say whatever we say and if it's wrong What's the correlation?

You don't really run this by this. I was gonna say I we went off about Mike Richards and the LA Kings And I said that he was caught with Percassette and he was the percassette. It was actually OxyContin Oh huge mistake. I mean, I mean, I see now you take everything back.

You're entire round. Well, that was a really epic rant No, it doesn't really change anything at all, but there was more to that story this past week The his contract finally got settled in the half a million years for the next 16 years Yeah, they're gonna be on their cap percassette for OxyContin ever basically Which good that it's not just they're allowed to walk away without penalty basically But I don't know if you saw the statement that Dean Lombardi made. Oh go in the buyout It was guy needs to get a clue here It was like the most shocking thing about it was that it was not like off-the-cuff comments It was a written statement that he sent to the newspaper to publish on his behalf Well, he was really hurt. So, you know, I mean it was a really tough day for him To be fair.

I'm trying to pull it up right now. Give me one second here. I was a mess I was gonna make a sex joke there. I'm trying to pull it up right now No, I can't I swear this never happens Here it is Right here it is King's GM Dean Lombardi emotionally tells of Mike Richards destructive spiral to Lisa Dilman of the LA times and Here it is here it is without without a doubt the realization of what happened to Mike Richards is the most traumatic episode of my career Lombardi said in a written summation he provided to the Times on Friday at times I think that I will never recover from it It is difficult to trust anyone right now and you begin to question whether you can trust your own judgment The only thing I can think of that would be worse would be suspecting your wife of cheating on you for five years and then finding out that in fact It was true, you know, what's worse than that is when he traded for Dan Clucius I would say that's probably the black mark on his career You know, it's worse than that when he sat down and wrote that analogy like what the fuck is that?

It's worse than that death Remember how many times we've talked about death being the worst thing on the podcast? Yeah, still that Still that did is Mike Richards still alive. Yeah, is he getting help? Yeah, so probably okay But I do love the visual of Dean Lombardi thinking about Mike Richards every night before he goes to sleep or just Suspecting that his wife is cheating on him also great five years That would have been great if like the statement turned into that halfway through like this be like it The only thing worse is like imagining your wife cheating on you and mine has and I'll tell you the feelings are very comparable The failures of my professional and personal career are starting to really meld into what it is a wife think about that statement God only knows He continues he continues I continues that was his way actually of like trying to like out her, you know what you like Yeah, she feels like he feels like there's a little bit shady going on he's like, huh?

Maybe I'll just throw that out there see what she says It's like so but you remember when you said that you thought Mikey was like me cheating on you for five years He come home that night to like frozen hot dogs on thawing in the city exactly. Can I borrow a feeling anyone close to me knows How much I loved Mike Richards? I believed that when I had acquired him I had found my own Derek Jeter But the fact is that he was never close to the player that he was after his best seasons in 2008 oh nine and oh nine ten in Philadelphia his production dropped 50% and the certain it factor He had was vaporizing in front of me daily Mike Richards also might have been vaporizing in This is a player that in 2010 was instrumental in Canada's gold medal and by 2014 while still in his prime was not even in the conversation From making the team so like that's right there. It's just shitting on him Yeah, because that switches from like being so emotionally disappointed in somebody's drug addiction to coldly analytical about how your game has fallen off Production wise and here's the exact stats and so long buddy to be fair It's crazy how good Richards was like to think of like how bad he got by the like it's I don't think we haven't really seen in hockey Like seven years ago Carter and Mike Richards were like 85 point play.

Yes, Richard was 85 point player with Exceptional two-way ability. He's what people think Taze is now Like he's like Taze with like a little bit more offensive talent Yeah, like it's crazy and then he just completely like fell off the face of the planet In his own mind and in reality and so it's just like crazy. I can't even yeah very sad obviously I can't even we got serious about this sort of thing last week on the show But I thought I would bring up that update because you know That's I can't believe I can't fucking believe that Dean Lombardi actually sat down and wrote that and like got to revise it for Probably like half an hour before he was done with things PR would have looked at for sure And it was like yeah, this is good. I thought the correction was gonna be a last episode Justin said he wanted to fuck a baby That is not true, but we're still Well, no, but like it's implied yeah Last episode like the other day every episode that goes without me making that correction means that that doesn't fly I said it okay, then I would like to make that correction right now.

I do not want to fuck a baby I hope this settles the matter. Yeah, I'm sure it will I would seem so unfair to continue to bring it up when you keep denying it So yeah, I can't imagine we would bring it up again. I just wanted to talk about how terrifying King take baby That's all that's all I wanted No, but you didn't know that wasn't the question wasn't what is the most terrifying mascot? It was what mascot would you most like to fuck?

I don't know if you remember, but you said that you said the baby. Yeah, the mask up That's the baby that was the one that you said Right along me check it on the Taffer yeah, we have anything for the Taffer truck. Okay. Well, then let's check in on the Taffer tracker Get a $10 raise per hour if you throw your own employees How do you like when he slaps you in a face?

How do you do? You get one of my wife you guys think this is okay. I have a reputation and I have to protect it and you will destroy it Just before we get to the Taffer tracker, I think first of all we need to give some props because somehow the Taffer tracker got better in double speed last week I kind of want to hear it super slow motion people that off a guy who did the What did he do that was super slow motion and that kind of sound? Oh Justin Bieber he did baby by just Kind of sound like a Us it was like half hour version of just yeah, I can probably slow it down here's it's bad up again though God well, we'll get to the Taffer tracker the news is we're watching the J's game I tweeted at him you watching this J's game John And he did not Big-time Taffer tracker this week.

I'm gone. Good night And I know that there are a lot of fans out there waiting for the return of John Collins rollerport And I will say to you now it will make its triumphant return next week as part of episode 16 John Collins rollerport So stay tuned be ready for that who knows because we've given them a week notice there may be a theme song There might be a theme song. Yeah, we've been getting some amazing theme song submissions pretty much like you're like if you're listening right now You're in like the golden age of the podcast where like we will still talk to you You know what I mean is like our podcast is eventually gonna get so big We're not gonna care it set us any The chances of us playing it are insanely I was a hundred percent will be like it's amazing So good, but it's just because you sent it to us. Yeah, I mean the ones that have been sent are incredible so far So I mean if you send us a bad one will consider playing it But if you send us a good one, it's almost a hundred percent guarantee and yeah We don't have a theme song for the rollerport still we don't have a theme song for good for you We don't have a theme song for one good thing so if you're out there notice you were kind of talking faster than I think it's because of The same I don't know if I can dream do we have a slover's mother no I'd have to work on that okay We'll have that but we do have for the very first time a theme song for the Twitter Time For the car it's for the one of my meeting Next question and that was sent in once again by your key 21 big-time roommate fan.

Oh man I uh what a great thing I we got a one-week just recorded me dancing all the theme songs That is the theme songs are so great and I was really feeling I felt actually like that had that one had a little bit of a Tony Hawks pro skater sound drive to say to yeah exactly the new one is just straight garbage. Yeah, really It's just really full of glitches. Yeah, I can play skate to if you want to play a skateboarding. Yeah Yeah, I was a huge huge Tony Hawk fan back in the day So and I was quite good at it I was one of a few games where I got exceptionally like too good at it where you're like okay Are you gonna make the kind of claim that you did on I think it was FIFA 2006?

That's right. You're the best player in the world. I think I was the best player in the world But I said I was in the conversation I had to be in the conversation for one of it not anymore I haven't played the game in five years, but like when FIFA 0 6 was the current FIFA I would say yes I was very you gonna go far enough to call yourself the greatest on the continent because some European might be better than you I was thinking it'd be way more of a chance of being like Japanese or Korean or Chinese either way than me most likely Either that's a stereotype are you going to call yourself North America's best FIFA 2006 play in 2006? Yes, I'll say that's the best.

I mean not now at all. I'm not I'm not nearly as good at the next gen FIFA games I'm still decent, but I'm not near me. Yeah, I don't know how good you would consider yourself. Okay.

Yeah, so there you go So I'm a little bit better than okay regardless shall we dive into the mail? I should speaking of your kitchen on you also did the Stefan's pool party theme song He did he is responsible for the only question we're answering this week And just before because this has become a mailbag segment I'm actually gonna submit my own question to the mailbag and then we'll get into your keys question So this ties into the Lucas Visa would do of the week because we found out today that the Vancouver Canucks Which I think this is amazing. I can't believe teams actually haven't done this before now If you're complimenting some of the Canucks did it's you know, it's not them relocating or folding Yeah, exactly. Oh man, that'd be so great if they folded because I don't even want them to relocate like I don't want their stench anywhere else I'm just just folding this right would be awesome.

Yeah, it'd be it'd be great if they folded like they did in game 7 in 2011 now Yes, that's like the first time I got in a real serious dig where both of you looked at me like I'm a huge asshole So anyway, they're introducing individual goal songs for players, which is unbelievable I think that's so so cool and so we thought like I was thinking today I when I saw that on Twitter, you know, what would Lucas be his goal song be so instead of this You know normally we say what would you do to get Lucas B's off the Canucks? But it's the Lucas Visa would do of the week So if you were in charge of Lucas B's individual goal song, what would you do? That's the Lucas I have the perfect song for this We need to Lucas B's First we can tell you what it isn't and it could be this but it's not I love that. That was my second choice.

Yeah, my first choice is a metal song called all alone by blind witness And you're about to find out exactly why so imagine Lucas B's a scores a goal. It's tough to imagine All right, that's enough of that. That's pretty great because not only does it insinuate that the other team are really fucked up Because Lucas B's a scored but it's also got a bit of a jam to it. Yeah, even if you're not a metal fan It's a good hard Yeah, the guitar kicks in it's like a pretty good.

Yeah, it's just instrumental be great But you throw in those lyrics and when it's B's a scores you tend to be screaming what the fuck is going on Most of Lucas B's goals are goals that require video review because they've just hit one of his body parts Yeah, so you're also it's not only the confusion of him scoring but chances are good He did not score like a fully legitimate goal So you're kind of like well what the fuck is going on like most of his goals are going in like pretty confusingly like he's very rarely The puck is going in off of his stick like it's usually a purpose Yeah, like it's hitting his skate or he's punching it in or it like hit his dick or something like that So you're not only confused at the fact that Lucas B's that has scored a goal But you're also confused as to whether or not it's a legal goal like chances are good It's being video reviewed and in the background even if it was him on a breakaway roofing at the store If you like that actually yeah, like what the fuck is going like you'd be confused so that's why that's the song I would choose I think it's perfect. It's yeah, I'm gonna submit that to the Canucks Yeah, I would be like oh well they curse and then my response would be like well Do you think he's gonna score a goal? Yeah, it's a be safe well to be fair the sabers have let me clear my throat is a goal song Which is the best yeah, it's the best somebody is finally like breaking away from like shitty mid-2000s rock and roll or like zombie or just songs that just go I Fellas as I'm going through all of these leams songs that we had cute up. I'm also realizing that we never played the clip of the week this week Oh, we kind of did we kind of think oh we do that other one Yeah, so we're delaying the mailbag even further this but we still related to the J's Justin here we go I'm not exactly sure what the context of this clip was well Yeah, post game heading as this after game to no This is tonight this is a good nori Kawasaki okay because I know that he was like singing and dancing and going crazy like on the lead In this is this is end of game five.

Okay. Obviously you go to Kawasaki for the post game This is post game here tonight. I'm gonna talk to you of the blue jays on Sports not I'm assuming yeah, but we are never scared. Yeah.

We are not scared. Okay. We see how many people down the game to come Okay, we are going to do focus It's all thinking don't think it just Just check the soul just catch don't think everybody Just wait No thinking just swing just catch just throw just win I literally have nothing to comment on that that is the first clip of the week I think we've had work totally speak. That's just like the ultimate sports interview still into this just the best no thinking Just swing just catch just catch just do it absolutely beautiful.

All right now. We will get back into the mailbag now So we do have one question just one it's such a good question And so I'm gonna read it to you verbatim if sports is from your key 21 if sports teams were a literal representation of their nickname So flip all playing bears basketball playing rockets hockey playing blue jackets, etc Who would be best on the basis of skill and who would be best on the basis of like forcing their opponents into forfeiture because of death or dismemberment? I mean that's that question is just so because it's going to be the worst of the blue jackets probably because they're very small I think the Brooklyn Nets would be the worst probably at basketball or just in there It's just a net there in an animal even if we're talking basketball their job is to get scored on basically What about the red Sox or the white Sox? Also an animal object or jazz well jazz which Stefan you brought up before the podcast is not even that's just a concept Yeah, it's not even officially me.

I mean just a concept we've invented to describe a type of music So those are very bad Denver Nuggets also It's not even a golden egg that's really not gonna poop. It could be or chicken or potato. Yeah, yeah anything just laughing cuz I said poop Yeah, yeah, how could you not? Yeah?

Thunder is pretty bad lightning is one thing is lightning could actually hurt you Yeah, there's always only if you're playing cats or dogs. I guess yeah absolutely There's a lot of birds that would eat all of the ones who are like named after bugs because there's like the Charlotte Hornets also In addition to the Columbus blue jackets and they would all get eaten by the Maryland mosquitoes by well Oh, the team I invented I think about the Washington Capitals. That's just a place on a map. Yeah, that's a great team either really So are we done with the worst ones?

I think we can get into the best with the worst ones do we go to like the 76ers? Yeah, I don't know what it's like your body. I don't know what it's like your body. I know you're a minor is a gold miner Yeah, 76 or I don't even I it's probably referring to 776 or so civil war soldiers So that's that's our sorry revolution.

Yeah, sorry revolution Not in America, I guess that's true American history it's only thing holding me back from my future jeopardy career lack of knowledge in American history What a met what is a met metropolitan? Yeah? Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't even give you my okay So here are my here's my my vote for the worst which it might not actually be the worst But I just think the concept would be really funny is the Buffalo Bills just like a bunch of you I'm bill hey, or it's like a baller or like a baller bill or like a hydro bill or something like that not great So I just I just like the idea because there's obviously been a ton of great athletes named bill Yeah, so you could have a team of Yeah, exactly that's to write off a hot water Buckner who was actually a great player aside from the one incident Yeah, so you got lots, but I just like the idea that's all like a bunch of men in their mid-fifties And so we'll you'll know that you are not yeah, pardon They'll pass me the ball like yeah exactly be very confusing calling it out on the ice and then the same concept the Minnesota twins Yeah, so just basically hey, we're like the twins we're here to we're here to play do you guys actually do you play baseball?

Well, I do I mean, you know Murray's not as good like he's not really that into sports But like well he'll try though because we're twins obviously the dolphins would be bad You've also got the teams that are just colors so the Cleveland Browns or the auto red blacks the red black They're two colors also. Did you say professional sports team? There's the CFL dig of the week big big big minor for worse the San Diego Chargers. I'm just like an iPhone charge Yeah, like I think it's supposed to either like a little lightning bolt, but yeah technically I'm picturing just like a bunch of chargers lying around in the field Yeah, that wouldn't be very good either So on to the best and there were two parts of this question who'd be the best on the basis of skill and who on the basis of like scaring their Bonnets are killing well, I think Justin at based on space of skill.

It's got to be the Oakland athletics. It's right in their name That's what they do. We're athletic you think you can step to them on the sports field. No, no you cannot They're I would say them are like the Golden State Warriors.

Yeah, but athletics is like more sports based Yeah, I was are there any because that's a thing you guys have the list of teams up I haven't looked at the yet, but do we have is there another team that's kind of named after like a type of athlete? I don't think there is really not really not that I can see I mean I was gonna say like the Giants would be pretty good on skill. Yeah, but again, it's all Dallas has the Mavericks So they'd probably be pretty gutsy. I guess I don't know or just they'd shoot.

Yeah, or there's the out of the Tennessee Titans as well But we're presuming their Greek gods. Yeah, they're huge and they could be more good too Yeah, but skill is such a hard thing to quantify I mean athletics is the only thing where it's because we don't know how good they I mean Zeus, you know was really good at You know fucking illegitimate women and and striking people down with underbolts But you know could you throw a pass like we don't know that yeah in terms of killing their opponents I'm gonna go with the Colorado avalanche because I'm just picturing like a team lined up on the field and then all of a sudden I don't know where this avalanche just buries them alive. Yeah, I like that I'm gonna go with the Toronto Raptors led by head coach Chris Pratt As you do Jurassic world is still in theaters, I know what the if we're going with the CFL being a professional league I know what the cutest team would be the Edmonton Eskimos. What about the rough riders?

Oh these guys are having such a tough time Well, I think is it a rough rider also like a cowboy maybe It is because they just like they ride the horses The Jets be pretty good too. Yeah, the Jets would be good presuming they've got like bombs or the blue bombers Oh, that's good. Yeah, but there's all these teams where we start to like get cosmic. Yeah, the Orlando magic or like the LA galaxy Yeah, I don't think you're being the galaxy.

Yeah, well It's full of empty space also, but it's full of like asteroids also the New England revolution which would be a really I'm going to Yeah, it's a concept. I guess yeah, it's a concept but it would also be like really messy like every game is just like they're trying to What about the Minnesota wild? Yeah, I know well. What does that even mean?

I don't know It's a stupid Neil's a grass-tison is stepping in to be like the LA galaxy would be the Orlando magic because the galaxy is full of magic That's a pretty good I guess you know we just suck the fun out of everything also Fair enough, yeah, I can't add to that Let me see the list now because I feel like there's got to be something I missed here that would be like a bad Okay, yeah, so Bruins would be hurricanes hurricanes would be tough as well. That's a tough go penguins might be the worst actually What's a diamond back is a little girl snake silver back? That's what I'm gonna question. Yeah, do you have the others?

There's just talk just hockey? Padres would be dope to a bunch of baseball playing priests Like the idea of that I mean even if you beat them they'd make you feel guilty I'm and if you're a team of little boys Just know yeah, exactly yeah, okay, and then you're also those other religious concepts that would be tough like the angels in the same Yeah, how do you find in your heart to beat such a team? Yeah, you know I mean I believe in I guess yeah Yeah, like all the fish are really easy. Yeah, the brewers are wasted The brewers are most of the teams I played in beer league Just wasted the heat could be good they could just burn you well or you just be uncomfortable Yeah, because like the flames would burn you the death.

He might just be like he just means it Yeah, exactly like oh I maybe I shouldn't have worn a sweater Oh trailblazers is nice because they could blaze a trail through your their opposition Phoenix Suns That's hard to really I mean how do you even play them? Yeah, it'd be so bright and rockets is not great either They just fire rockets at you the whole time. All right. There's a lot of really tough team.

That's a great question Yeah, that was our mailbag. Yeah, that was it for the mailbag one question and when you send in the theme song you get to ask To the only question oh yeah, I think we get into this speaking of theme songs. We got to get into the pool party we do indeed Every time And what a week it is for the pool party Stefan will start with how you did in the long goes fantasy football pool And that'll be probably brief because the real meat Oh, and you lost you all Charles I did you already had a losing record even with yeah, did you get a check and request off the waivers though? No, I've got no Davis, but it seems like I think West is gonna get there's but Davis might get the goal in work Yeah, so well, I'm fine.

Yeah, that's what that's what fantasy football is always like for me That was like oh yeah, super excited and then like three weeks and it's like well I'm not winning fantasy is yeah Football is really tough because it really is so much about injuries like if you if your top player gets injured you have almost no chance of winning Unless you're participating in the Lucas piece of reverse memorial draft which went down this past Sunday We and what a draft it was you'll never see another hockey pool in your life That's these Lucas piece of picked first overall. Yeah, great job by whoever did that and David Schlemko going in slot number two Right. Yeah, well, he's my favorite part of it is was a few things But if you go to like the waiver wire like who's left over on the way? Yeah, it's amazing when I was getting Crosby say again.

It's just it's unbelievable My favorite part was we had one team manager who was unable to partake in the draft So we had to auto draft his team and it was the sickest collection of hockey talent You've ever seen on one team and also the worst for this pool and immediately after the draft was over the owner in question offered Crosby Kessel or no Crosby Carey Price and Stephen Stamkos for Lucas Biza. No, that's a different that was that's a film That was Phil Chris isn't first and I don't think he's Dropping on a first name soon because air Carlson just have four assists tonight Oh, but the worst thing that could happen and he has made some moves to pick up some bad players I don't know if those moves have been reflected on his line up Just yet and the points that he has accrued in these first few days of the speeds of pool We'll probably haunt him for the entire set here's the best part of this pool is when a player like Adam Kraknell scores The game winning goal in a hockey game and it like bucks you over It's a fun thing. There's that home I'll give you a guess as to who in the pool has Adam Kraknell on their team I'll give you three guesses the first two don't count. It's me.

It's Justin. Did you guess me? Yeah, we really give them time to guess Well, that's true. I'm assuming that they probably were had already had one in mind.

Yeah, well, huh? Yeah, and it's funny also because you look at the same It's the two guys who auto drafted our first and second and then third fourth and fifth are the three of us because we went all in on The Canucks fourth line being got off and they've been red hot in the early stages of the season Adam Kraknell Brandon pressed and Derek Dorsett cannot stop fitting up John McRine Miller who got a shutout Yeah, thanks I'd mentioned for the shadow but he did get a win against Anaheim And I promptly dropped him because he's playing way too well and the joke about Kraknell right now is like the joke headline is like release The Kraknell. Yeah, and honestly, that's what I might have to do you might have to release Going too well. Sorry.

I'm not working out Well, I know and I dropped in Matt Bartkowski thinking he would be just as bad at Vancouver as he wasn't Boston and so far two points And he's my team is called do the bark house key and he's really he's really gonna make me have to reconsider my team name and direction It's difficult though because like in a real pool You often become over invested in the early results of the guys put up like the points that they put up in the first like two weeks of the season Guys get just nabbed off of roster off of waivers or thrown on waivers for underperforming with Kraknell It's the exact opposite Do I just accept that this is like not going to be the norm and ride it out or do I just have to let him go? So I had to do with Ryan Miller. I was like it's like the Canucks are gonna be bad this year You just have to wait, but I just like couldn't it was it was too tempting to get rid of him But I know exactly what you're saying. It's yeah It's hard because some guys that scored eight points last year scored five of them in one week And yeah, cracknell's like oh my god cracknell's projection according to Yahoo coming into the season was for zero points zero goals And zero says two goals one of them was definitely surpassed his expectations.

Yeah, he's just killing me right now The most productive player who was drafted on purpose in the speed of pool It's so much fun doing a draft like that and just having to completely like reverse how you do a draft Oh, yeah, I was talking to Mike fail about it I did a guest spot on his podcast last night cat and Mike super awesome hockey podcast or something like that And it was fun You can find it on his sound cloud and there was a good dash and he was talking about how his coworkers were like watching him Do the draft as it was going down on Sunday and he had the eighth pick I believe and took Tanner glass eight overall and everyone's just like what the hell are you doing man? It's like no no no this is on purpose Well, I just like I was really trying to be like the fantasy bro in every league but like the opposite So like oh man you drafted so and so like oh he's gonna have a great year What the fuck are you doing? Everyone knows he's gonna be way better this year He's like he's got in third line minutes man huge mistake, you know like the classic guys will be like well No, you know you gotta get this case on the first line now So yeah, it was it was fun to be able to reverse that and be like oh man that guy and he's gonna be way too good and trade negotiations now Because player values are invertive also, right? Yeah, I had stamco's proposed for Brandon Frost and I mean that's Are you kidding me?

It's just such a fun way to do a hockey pool and it's it's like getting offered Brandon Frost for Stephen's exactly Alright, well that'll do it for stephen's pool party for this week. It probably won't be as in-depth in terms of pool discussions going Oh, no, we'll just be fun about the draft. We're all doing the draft just happened Yeah, it was so hilarious that I felt like I'm sure we'll talk about any fun like any game any goals or shutouts or Thing which is just like it's especially if speed is towards a goal and then we'll play this on absolutely All right, we will go from the pool party into everyone's favorite segment because it means we're on the home stretch It's one good thing things that we actually like in the world at large the cherry on top of our cynical Sunday gentlemen What do you like this week? I go first.

Yeah, I mean Fargo season two just started up Oh, man, it's it's wonderful and if you haven't seen Fargo season one you showed it's just like a kind of a mini series It's based on a movie. It's Fargo. Yeah. Yeah, maybe Fargo.

It's just winding. Yeah, I think it's like 10 episodes How about I be to the but this season you've got Kirsten Donce Jesse Flemons Ted Danson Patrick Wilson Kieran Culkin They do the thing like true detective or they completely flip like yeah, this is kind of like a prequel almost It's like set in like 79 I think okay, and it's not I don't think it's actually said in Fargo Yeah, anyway, but it's the same sort of area like that Midwest area and it's got for the first season Molly was the main character got her father It's just a man and they made like illusions during the first season to sue for the case in Sioux Falls Which is the basis of the seventh season and if you haven't seen the first season it's so fucking good I haven't seen oh Brad Garrett is in sections. Oh, it has like this mob guy Billy Bob Thornton is like the lead villain of season one Yeah, Colin Hicks is one of Martin Freeman's Martin Freeman's new season Martin Freeman playing completely against type Yeah, that's like a sniveling fucking just rat basically Exactly, but yeah, that's my one good thing Or season one or season one watching us watching up now. It's great.

Yeah, all right. I'll shout out because Stefan's got the glass today I've never done a curling related plug in the show before so I'm gonna shout out. I curling equipment sponsor hardline curling There's a there's a lot of talk about brooms going on right now There's actually a lot of arguments that broom technology is advancing past the point where curlers want it to advance to Kind of like this similar to what golf went through about a decade ago when companies were just making Spungeier and spongier and spring year and spring year drivers and finally the players themselves stepped in and we're like this We can't have this and it's the same thing with curling. That's kind of what's taking place right now And my company is awesome.

I've been using them for three years. They're amazing rooms Especially if you're a club curler, I think they're the best on the market so check them out hardline curling comms I know we have a huge curling following that listens to the podcast So that's my one good thing hardline curling and if you watch dragons then if you're a fan of dragons then they cut a deal with dragons Then last year with David Jilton and they just did an update on them last week the season premiere of dragons then they were on it And the company's doing very well. So they got to Archie and Stan at hardline curling check them out tell them John Cullen sent you It's not worth anything, but you should just tell them and hopefully they'll hear this and send you some free brooms They already get free They're our sponsor all right. Well my one good thing this week is that I still have a job because I tell you a good 20 minute stretch like two hours ago where it did not seem like that was still the case So it was pretty fun.
