Real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good real good. Yes that's right ladies and gentlemen hello and welcome to real good show episode 16. It promises to be a good one the latest and greatest edition of America's Best Worst Canadian Sports Podcast. Episode 16 of course means that this episode will go down in history as one of our best ever will retire its number and then later unretire it when retrospectively we look back and realize it wasn't all that great to begin with.

Justin Morris with you here live from Stefan's parents' place. And with me, as always, is. Stefan Hack, and I like how you always say, that's rightly his denomen. Like some listeners is like, oh, is this real good show?

And they're like, yeah, it is. It is, it's good for us. I was right, okay. And I'm John Collin.

And yeah, I mean, what can you say about that intro? We should on Trevor Linden. More than half of the people listening to this podcast don't know who that is. It was a good joke though.

Oh, it's a great joke. Absolutely. I stole it from John. Exactly.

That's why I know it was a great joke, because I actually said it. But yeah, no, I mean, great times. You know what still gets me? The Canucks have four retired numbers, and the Leafs have two.

Makes a ton of sense when you think about how good both those organizations have been. Well, they should both have zero. Over hundreds of years? Well, the Leafs did win a lot of cops back in the day.

I mean, it'd be hard not to win a cup with only six teams in the league though. I feel like just exiting your house, you trip over a cup win at one point. I don't know, man, tell that to the New York Rangers. But I mean, I'd rather not.

Because thinking about New York Rangers and cops brings back nothing but bad memories for this guy. Because Adam Graves put his chalk on your face. I mean, basically, yes. It's like the championship equivalent of that, yes.

But you know, interesting start to the show. Great start to the show. We're into the score. Well, right off start.

Usually it takes a lot of 15 minutes to get around to mentioning sports. I think we got better. Yeah. Yeah.

That's a little bit more focused lately. I was not focused at all last week. Because you almost got fired. You almost got fired.

The emotional wreck for that one. That's why the segments were all over the place. But professionally feeling safe and secure here today, so things should go smoothly, at least on my end. Gentlemen, I hope for a similar performance from you.

Let's get out. I drank like three cups of coffee, so I might shit my pants. Whatever. Our roommate is a toilet.

Yeah, exactly. Well, I guess the roommate this time is a toilet because there's no one else. Well, there's the dog downstairs. Oh, really?

There was a dog there. I'm watching the dog for the week. That's kind of sick. Well, it's a beautiful view with the very least.

Great podcasting. Yeah. Yeah. I'm picking a new cell phone plan right now.

I think we're going really well. I think they're going really well. Yeah. I mean, I don't know.

I'm trying to figure out because I want to get the new iPhone success. But then Rogers is telling me that if I want to get the $500 off of it, then I may have to build a new plan. Because right now I've got a sweet teacher plan where I get my phone really cheap. So I'm just trying to figure out.

This has been John's cell phone report. How about this plan is going to fuck me. You guys get me right? All the listeners out there are like, yeah, cell phone plans.

I can relate, brother. Yeah. And that's, I mean, I'm just like you. I'm just like you.

I'm playing together in any sport. I put my pants on one leg at a time. So what's my pants are on? I make mediocre podcasts.

Good for you. Thank you. I don't think we have anything for good for you this week. Definitely unless you feel particularly accomplished at the moment.

No, not at all. Okay. Yeah, we're good for you. I don't think there is a theme.

It's not for good for you. Oh, right now that was a different thing. We don't have a good for you one yet. That was like the only segment that doesn't have a theme song at the moment.

Yeah. So we need to get on that. We were all just in the basement though watching the Blue Jays continue their series and force a game six. Yeah, baby.

Which you know, that's a series. It feels good to be alive. It has been emotionally draining, I feel. We're all drained.

Yeah. What? I don't know. I'm clearly organizing myself.

I'm literally only picking out like one to three words per sentence and just content. Yes. Yes, that for sure. So guys, we had somebody not to spoil the mailbag, but we can hop into that question right now.

I don't know who it was, but we'll correct them later. I'm sure asked if everyone on the podcast is a baseball fan now. Yeah, until they lose. Yeah, basically.

Like I'm not watching any of the other series. I kind of have like, I'm keeping track of them. Yeah, me too. I have like positive feelings about both the Mets and the Cubs as level losers.

So pretty well, like any of the final four teams here in this playoffs would be a good champion. Just hopefully not Kansas City. Yeah. I mean, I'll probably watch if the Jays lose.

I'll probably watch like the deciding pitch of the world series. Well, that's the best part of a baseball is like always has to end on a play. Yeah. Can't just end with people like skating around or like throw the ball really high in the air.

Yeah, they're not just like skating at the clock. Yeah, that's the end on a strike or a catcher, a hit or whatever. Yeah. And I have been watching this the second round series.

I guess it's not the one on this. I mean, it is the second round, but yeah, but the wild card count is around. It's just one day. No, no, no, because those aren't even because they because it's goes like divisional series, championship series.

Like I think the wild card's kind of like a play in game. Yeah, it is. I mean, don't get me wrong. So it's like, you know, there are some things that are going to say they were in the playoffs, you know, like the Yankees.

Well, we made the playoffs last year. Well, did you mean you didn't really? You lost in one game. Yeah.

Like, I mean, when the teams used to tie the one game playoff, that wasn't officially the quote unquote playoffs. That was. Yeah, you never made the playoffs, then. And that wasn't considered making the playoffs.

So I think I think it's cool. You know, my mood is kind of living and dying with the results of these games. That was, I guess that qualifies me as being a baseball fan. And like I went to watch game one on Friday night at the big like stadium Boston Pizza, the one that has like the movie theater sized TV.

And the Canucks game came on as soon as that game was over. And I had no interest in watching it. Because that must have been really disappointing to go from the J's losing to the Canucks playing. Also losing, but just how easy it is.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, game ended. And then they put the Canucks game on, which could have some pizza for not having a single TV on the hockey game while baseball was on. They knew what people were there for.

I knew it. Yeah, I mean, people have been there since four o'clock. So if you change it, you're kind of like a huge asshole. Yeah, let's go.

Yeah, so I mean, I haven't really been following hockey at all because of baseball, because it's kind of like occupying my sports time. And the Canucks below? They had a decent start. I seem to remember a week ago, people being like, one more win.

And this is the hottest start in franchise history. And then three games later, this is the worst start ever. The things are done. Bo Horvat is a bust.

Which like Bo Horvat, you moved him onto the second line nominally. But if you've also put his shitty fourth line mates with him on the second line, it's still the fourth line. Well, and I have Brandon Preston in the shitty hockey pool. And they keep moving up to the second line.

Yeah, so I just scratched him. Yeah, same with the door set. It's killing me. It's a root on assist.

The Canucks can't even have shitty players, right? Well, yeah, we went all in. The three of us. I've got Cracknell.

You've got door set. I'm a regular. So I had to dump Miller because he's actually won games to start the year. It was a disgrace.

But it's still early in the hockey season. It's like swinging wildly in the city week to week in terms of whether we like the team or not. It's nice to just have the city not care about the team. Yeah, and they really don't.

Yeah, because it's really annoying. Because then that's a thing. I love when the Canucks are good. And people try to say, we're not a bandwagon town.

We're not bandwagon fans. I'm like, someone needs to take videos of right now. It's not. No one gives a shit about it.

I don't think I know what kind of people who went to that game on Friday against St. Louis. I don't think anyone that I know who went to it paid for their tickets. Oh, yeah.

There were tickets on StubHub for $18. Yeah, there were a ton of empty seats. I was there. Tons of empty seats.

Next to me and my friend, there were five empty seats in the upper bowl. I don't know. I think in terms of Canadian teams, Vancouver's the biggest band wagon seat. Vancouver and Ottawa probably.

Well, Ottawa just is a shithole. So that's the major problem. And it also, they don't even play in Ottawa. They play 45 minutes outside.

Conata. Yeah. It'd be like if Vancouver Canucks played in White Rock. Or Abbott's Ferter.

Yeah, Abbott's Ferter's a worse example. Because it's the way shittier place in White Rock. But yeah, in terms of Canadian teams, I think Vancouver has probably the worst fans. I hate 90% of Canucks fans.

Well, at the same point, I know people rip on people for being band wagoners if they're like critical of team moves. It's impossible to have gone through the summer that the Canucks just had and not be critical. Oh, that's different. I mean, I'm talking about when the playoffs come around.

Apathy versus. Yeah. Oh, they're in the playoffs. I'm going to start watching again.

I'm going to pretend I was a Canucks fan this whole time. You have to suffer. Yeah. Yeah.

Exactly. That's the thing. You know, people always get on me for cheering for the Leafs. But if they somehow manage to win the Cup while I'm still alive, that is going to be a great month.

Yeah. That's why I hate like 90% of Blackhawks fans, Kings fans. Yeah, you've got nothing to what are you complaining about? Yeah.

Shut up. But like, you know, hating the team is better than just not even caring. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, exactly.

And we're at least hating them. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, you guys are for sure.

And I don't expect that. No, I didn't care to watch any of the games this week. I was like the Leafs this year. I'm out, man.

I know that badcock. I'm like, I'm just keeping up and reading the articles and stuff. And it seems like the Avcox got some good stuff going in terms of puck possession. And they've clearly begun to change the way that they play.

But god, they're just tough to watch right now. So I just can't get into it. And yeah, it's like kind of hard, I would imagine, to like, it seemed like they were turning a new leaf, not to make a pun. Whatever.

But by making that tessel trade and potentially looking to move for enough as well. But as you come back into the season, it's like, really? Did we really need to trade? Feel tessel?

No, like why did that happen? We got nothing. Yeah. Absolutely nothing.

And like, the team is certainly missing somebody who could pull the trade. Well, yeah, for sure. I mean, I didn't mean we got nothing. Like, it was fine.

The trade was fine. I think they screwed up by not dealing them with the trade deadline if they were going to deal with them all. But it was more just, I mean, like, we have nothing right now. Like, without kessel, we have no, there's no star there.

You have Tyler Bozak. Yeah. Aside from Tyler Bozak. Wonder what he's doing now that he had to move out of Phil Kessel's house.

Probably moved in with another teammate. I imagine he's just getting bounced around from T-way to T-way. Yeah, maybe. Now he sits up the foot of Nazm Qadri's baby.

He's getting into games. But something that was exciting for Canucks fans anyways. This morning, the first coach to be fired in the National Hockey League was Todd Richards, head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets. And he was swiftly replaced by the former coach of your Vancouver Canucks and another than John Tortorella.

And good start-ishing that he got another NHL job. After his performance here. I think they just want to kind of kick the Blue Jackets ass into shape is the idea. Which makes sense.

Oh, he said his needle arch is seasoned. You know who's probably really happy is Brandon Dubinsky. Yeah. He was like, oh, I thought I got away from this guy.

Well, didn't you like kind of shit on Tortorella too? He did, I think. Yeah, I believe. And now, so he was in New York.

And he's dealing with Tortorella. And he's in Columbus. And he's like, well, I'm in Columbus. I can't get much worse.

Here's the old coach you hated. Yeah, exactly. Hey, guess what? Not only do you now live in Columbus, all of the Blue Jackets.

But those two teams made so many deals together. The Rick Nash deal, the Gabbard deal. I feel like there's a ton of guys who were on the Rangers when Tortorella was coaching there, who are now in Columbus. Like, he's an Artemisi mom.

He's on the Black Ops. He's on the Black Ops. A lot of those guys are gone. No.

Yeah. OK. Yeah. But the best part is the Canucks get in the second round pick.

The Southeast. Yeah. Which is the best trade they made. They got last for any lack.

Or was it the same? No, they got last. They got third round and a sixth for him. Three and seven.

Or seven. Or seven. Yeah. And then they got a third round anymore?

Yeah. OK. And they got a second for Jason Garrison. So this is perfect.

Yeah. It makes sense. Yeah. But Tortorella's got to be happy that he can at least now live in the city where he doesn't need to have a bed that or a Murphy bed in his office.

Well, he never actually used that. He just insisted that it put in. Just in case. He felt like taking a nap around the office.

Yeah. But the opposite. Yeah. Well, but the reason that he never did probably is because he just never came into work.

Yeah. For those of you who don't know, when he was coaching the Canucks, he lived in the United States. In a small town just over the border, about 45 minutes from Vancouver. Yeah.

Point Roberts. But he crossed the border every day. Not actually. No, not every day.

I mean, what come to practice that? He'd have his assistance run practice for him while he just played with his dogs, I guess, and lived in the US. It's just fucking bizarre. So Columbus Blue Jackets fans, yes.

Look forward to, because I know there are so many that exist in the world and also listen to the circus. At least he will be living in your city. I would imagine. You know what's going to be great is when he fights the head coach of the biggest rival, the.

Cleveland Browns? I guess the Minnesota Wild. I mean, you get the same time? I don't know.

Do they have rivals? Columbus? Cleveland Browns. Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we talked about it as a euphemism for gay sex, but John Tortorello literally did try to choke someone in the tunnel. So that's true.

Oh, that is true. He didn't try to choke someone in the tunnel. I, yeah. I don't know about John in this day and age, in this fit.

I'm excited. But yeah, as someone who gives no Fox about the Columbus Blue Jackets, it's exciting. He seems like a good 10 years past his best before date. Oh, yeah.

Absolutely. So does that go to ease? I don't know. He's going to be very quotable, as usual.

It's kind of nice that I can watch it from afar. Yeah, exactly. I'm expecting my team directly. Though I will say, the team was almost more interesting when Tortorello was at the helm than they are right now.

Yeah, nothing's happening. They did have a pretty good start to that season, which is like the kind of how to decent start in the first week, I guess, this year. But it was such a gong show. You had to tune in to see what Tortorello was going to do next.

Oh, yeah. Of course, this is just kind of boring. Yeah, exactly. It's just Willy D saying, real good.

Real good. Real good. And bless him for it. We would not have a name of our show if he didn't.

Thank you, exactly. I appreciate that. I mean, Columbus seems like a team that has talent, so they shouldn't be as bad as they are. Like, but Brasky is a good bully.

He's endless to start the season. He's won the Vessna. Yeah, so did Jim Carrey. Yes.

Actually, I could be a great golfer. No, he won the call to the golf club. But you win an award in the third. Both Theodore won the heart trophy.

Yeah, exactly. But Brasky was still pretty decent last year still, too. I don't know. I think he's like, I was a Theodore won the heart trophy, and then smuggled drugs in his anus.

So Brasky is like whatever. But Brasky was on the case trying to bring him in. Oh, let's not mock that or coffee that. Still that from my.

Those guys. Jay on the line. What? What?

You actually? Jay and Dan. You don't like Jay and Dan? You guys like them?

You guys got to upset there. I missed them dearly. They were acceptable. I don't watch Sports Center anymore, because they're not on it.

And honestly, it hurts my feelings that most of these J's playoff games are on Fox Sports 1, because they're just teasing us. You get the preview for Jay and Dan. They're not giving us our Canadian commentators like we want on the game. And then they're like taunting us that they stole our Sports Center coming up after the game.

Jay and Dan got all the highlights, except for you, Canada, fuck you. But they got a little over the top. They bought into their own hype a little too much. Besides, how can you argue with Kate Pernas and Natasha Ledger up there?

I thought it was Jennifer Hedger. Jennifer Hedger and Natasha Stanis-Chef's. Oh, never mind. Yeah.

Isn't there like a ledger? I don't think so. Oh. Well, now I just seem like an idiot.

Well, I am an idiot. Where did I just make this up? How's your phone blank on? Oh, I got I reserved a success.

Congratulations. Well, I'm not feeling good. I'm apparently 66 on the list. So the success must not be that popular.

When I was on the five S list, I was like 1,200. There's something like that. I can't remember if I have the six of the success. I was just about to be the last six men.

Our listeners are loving this. I'm sure. Well, why was this fantastic stuff? John's phone plan.

That's the theme, Danny. No, I would have like a. Yeah, someone wants to make a theme song for that. We'll make it a ring.

I would rather never talk. It would be like it would be like, and then we play Hotline Bling. Then I would do the dance and talk about my phone plan. Oh my god.

We could do the Taffer Tracker. Yeah, we do have something for the Taffer Tracker. So literally, again, the other shit. Yeah, last time my Taffer Tracker was tweeted at him about baseball and he didn't respond.

Yeah, exactly. I don't think anyone's listening to this. Are you kidding me? The Taffer Tracker now?

It's all my favorite thing. Everything about the show that I love. Well, I just figured we do it now because the theme song is going to take about 10 minutes to play because I think last we got requested that Justin slow it down. He definitely slowed it down.

Here's the Taffer Tracker slow jam edition. No. He's just a cop. You get it.

And I'll raise per hour. If you throw your own employee through a grass. How do you like when he slaps you in the car? He's just a cop.

He's just a cop. You get it. He's just a cop. You get it.

He's just a cop. He's just a cop. He just slaps you in a face. How do you verify?

His checks and new yellow in my wife. You guys think this is okay. I have a reputation and I have to protect it. You will destroy it.

I'm leaving. I'm not rescuing you. election week. There we go.

I'll slow it down. Ladies and gentleman, you have Stefan to thank for that one. We're doing it backwards. microassembled.

his wife so asleep in the middle of that so big news in the tougher track of this week on October 14th John retweeted the official bar rescue account says the wise words of John Taffer's he's quoting himself and the quote is and I completely disagree with this in reference to the show bar rescue John Taffer says a sober mind is our most inquiring viewer and I'm just gonna tell you first hand that is not true at all is anyone watching bar rescue sober no there's a bunch of bros it's like TV being like I just fucking bar no I will say though he might be onto something there in that like if I were to be intoxicated and watch the show I'll just go along with it but if I'm sober and watching it's just like why I guess it's a good how yeah you are acquiring in a way I guess that's true yeah you're right if I'm watching a drunk I'm like oh this is awesome this is great this is like a giant jukebox plus six thousand dollars like you made the waiters where suits it looks amazing it's like a two touch POS system wow wow yeah but yeah I know if you're sober you're like this is all like much of stupid garbage I don't want to go to this bar so I guess he's saying like essentially don't be sober when you're watching my show don't ask questions yeah he doesn't want anyone to actually inquire no yeah you're like why not what well yeah why not watching that's the inquiry yeah makes a lot of sense to me absolutely that was a tougher track and he sounded drunk in the intro slowed down so perfect he sounded really drunk yeah I felt like I was on mushrooms I felt like it would be like watching Justin try to run just slow and like roo there's a lot of barely noises I'm not gonna run all right it was me John he didn't like that way but just because he makes like a lot of noises I feel like you would make really deep noises and struggle yeah and we get some comments on like the demon that comes out me when I laugh sometimes in the ranch to right yeah that's also a demon in yeah yeah a different demon out yeah a man of many demons anyway alcohol like as well well you did get really into bar rescue so maybe we're drunk the whole time when you were saying like I just burned through the first two seasons of our it wasn't very inquiring and just a further my point it would probably sound like me as well because Brooke said Brooke took me to a spin class this summer and I'm horrifically out of shape and she said the noises that she heard coming off of me on that bike are like no noises she's ever heard before I'll slap your wife somebody says I'll slap you yeah yeah yeah because I was simultaneously mad that I was like dying and also mad at Brooke for even thinking that I could get through it well skin class sounds a lot funner than it actually like is because you think it's gonna spin around or whatever yeah right next time by no you're biking until you die yeah exactly yeah and the person is like someone that's super fit and yeah and they and they hate you yeah like they all like they seem happy but like they want you yeah they're praying body break comes back to the big shot exactly they want to suffer they want to be the new Joanne McLeod this person wanted and she was like telling me she's like visualize she's like okay we're coming up to a big hill now I want you to visualize like I want you to visualize what you're gonna how you're gonna get up this hill maybe you're gonna visualize like a family member a loved one and I was like I am visualizing Brooke except I am screaming very upset at what has just happened like see you stand off the bike and just kind of pretend to walk it up you do have to stand on the bike no I mean stand beside it oh that would be awesome maybe next-spin glass I'll try that I'll be like should be like what are you doing oh you said we were going up a hill this is how I go I get off it and I walk it you said the visualizing it sounds like she's like graduated from the school of coaching that my elementary school basketball yeah I'm a four just visualize the perfect shot you're pedaling your bike perfectly how are you pedaling it visualize the way you're pedaling I still have that because only like one perfect shot it's only goes in pretty much yeah yeah as an angle like oh yeah exactly hit the rim I think that's like close enough yeah oh for sure yeah if you can even get it up to the rim height you're good I hit like the corner of that square on the back yeah I just like I'm kind of disappointed that the spin instructor is like keeping your visualizations like focused and grounded and real like if you're riding a real bicycle it should be just like close your eyes and you're biking through space that's exactly what I thought when you said that I'm like space oh my god that Haley's comment right there that's it reach out and grab a cup from the Milky Way exactly I do I realize I'm not a real bike lady stop fucking telling me that I'm in a street no I'm in a classroom surrounded by 15 other you know what you're doing is shitty when the instructors like pretend you're doing something else yeah because what you're doing right now is terrible oh segue yeah step on you just think I know you're doing segue yeah but we are bringing back a certain segment it does concern baby that was a cycle right there and we will go from that into John Cullen's roller reports got college gonna get a right-hand free and so it's been wow that's I mean I'm honored I don't even know where he would have found like the John Cullen fight clip or whatever but or goal-clip fighting Ben in also fighting Jim Benning yeah amazing and yeah so Yorkie 21 huge shoutout I'm responsible for pretty much all of our things amazing amazing and also I just want to say and no offense to Yorkie 21 because I love my theme song but someone also floated the suggestion or said that they would be very disappointed if it wasn't Limpiscuits Roland because we have brought up Limpiscuits several times yes so if someone would like to make me a theme song and it'll probably be your but then that would require us to play Limpiscuits Roland yeah you say like it's a bad thing yeah that's amazing to me well that could be the outro right yeah I still like I know all the words actually know all the words to one word it's rolling yeah exactly rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling three yeah I also know most of the words to Roland urban assault vehicle which features DMX method man red man and exhibit really rapper remix of a little bit yeah it's not great but it exists I didn't say it was I know I was just offering my instant review here's John Collins hot take the the rapper remix of a limp Biscuit song featuring DMX and method man is about as good as you'd expect spoiler alert that's the biscuit breakdown absolutely back into John Cullen's roller report which biscuit it's been a while since we've had this segment on the show yes there you go biscuit banter should be the name of that segment I would totally talk about this kid's in gravy oh yeah okay who's the what's the gravy well we should talk about well then gravy no I was gonna say if it's the greatest would come because they did like the funny name of their album that stuff I was like hey Fred just what's gravy oh that's what I call my cop dog water yeah okay sure so I'm good yeah I don't know yeah yeah that's gross it's like make a rue and then you put the hot dog well I just take a gravy boat pour a couple water frozen hot it's a gravy boat not a navy boat but do we actually have a roller reporter yeah we have a roller so I was looking up obviously as you guys know I google artistic roller skating a lot and I found out some information the city of novara Italy has been granted the 2016 world championships of artistic roller skating and they're very happy because novara describes themselves as the birthplace of roller skating so I had to check out their website first of all before there is actually a FIFA for roller skating called FERS the Federation international of roller sports for some reason they use the Italian federalist on internationality or whatever like FIFA but then it's roller sports not roller sport a yeah that's obviously the Italian yeah oh no the sport a roller yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I don't know and it includes like roller hockey skateboarding which apparently skateboarding is a chance at getting into the 2020 Olympics which I didn't know well I was going to say they're also facing their own corruption scandals just like FIFA like FIFA is is just full of money laundering schemes but FERS is murder oh my that was that's pretty good actually FERS is murder I was gonna say any bribery in FERS is right people to actually watch their sport and the headline of the Gazette in Rome that day was FERTER with that fun even play I don't think at all they just think that was like a word I'm trying to guess that it is one day yeah I love it so Italy is hot on the heels of winning 35 medals at the 2015 world championships of artistic roller skating so I went to their website for the 2016 championships and found the mayor's greeting the mayor of no Vara and it spelled major on the website I don't know if that's everything else is in English so I don't know why they screwed this up but it's the major greeting and the majority yes exactly the majority address to the competitors and first of all I should say it's written in all caps because he's screaming it he's so excited with this so he says I still remember the long anxious weight in Rome in the Hall of Honor and then the announcement of the choice of no Vara as host city of the next world championships because you know you're always waiting on pins and needles to find out if your city got the world artistic roller figure skating championships he says we really hoped so after all to quote the lucky slogan of our candidacy no Vara is a skating city that's like that was a slogan yeah this Logan first of all they had a slogan yeah yeah the slogan of the yeah I guess I don't know tagline like you know I guess the only thing worse than getting the roller skating championships is getting out big there were other cities that bid for them and didn't get them and their mayors are still waiting by the phone yeah God damn no Vara is either skating city bullshit it didn't even tell me that we didn't get it I have to read it on the fucking internet major greeting what is this bullshit and then he goes on to say that roller skates are a part of the real identity of the city of no Vara that has always been a reality of absolute excellence at national and international level in roller sports from Rink hockey to different specialties of skating then he goes on to talk about how no Vara is a happy oasis for skating and then talks about the city and blah blah blah blah just like anything that like roller skates were invented by like a Leonardo defenciate yeah the roller skates yeah absolutely but with these wheels on my shoe yeah a lot of people didn't notice but behind Mona Lisa the painting is just her pair of rollers and that's clearly the title of this episode of Mona Lisa roller skates yeah just like the Mona Lisa smile actually movie Julia Robertson here's the dance that's my thought yeah maybe like a was there like I think Julius I was oh Julia styles I can never get the two of them if they were if we're in the same movie I think they're the same first Julia styles is definitely a not only a smile also I'm pretty sure yeah and also they were both in the same I think so yeah and Maggie Gyllenhaal oh Maggie Gyllenhaal I was gonna say maybe there was like a rogue Rachel Lee Cook sighting in that movie because I would have been like about her time period before she disappeared off the face of the planet anyway I'm gonna wrap this up here he was before she was Rachel Lee cooked I think you kind of stressed yourself within you're doing so well I'll just delete this one okay so this is so great because I don't this last sentence I mean obviously this is written by a translator but this one just comes together beautifully so he goes on to talk about everything in the city like their economy how good it is all the architecture and he goes as you can imagine there are all the prerequisites for a memorable world championship together with my assessor for sport we are going to closely follow every moment of the organization to assure all of you a timely response to your expectations and I'm guessing the timely response would be in September of 2016 the championships are taking place so thank you to the city of novaras so for those of you the reason I brought this up this week is just because I really enjoyed the mayor's letter here and also because I know some of you will really want to get ahead get some tickets yeah it's like WrestleMania right you need to know like your package you know how you want to go there and perhaps next time on the roller-board I will feature the sport assessors greeting which is almost better than the mayor's so I read the slogan again I can it is the after all to quote the lucky slogan of our candidacy novaras a skating city like I could have been every city slogan it probably was it could have been let me see if it shows up on their Wikipedia here's the tagline to Mona Lisa smile okay just for as far as rival taglines go in a world that told them how to think she showed them how to live oh and I feel like it like if you put in your candidacy for the roller world cup with the tagline in a world that showed them how to walk we showed them how to roll that would probably get it like if you're fucking if that's the winning candidacy tagline seems like the bar is awful low I feel as if they're slogan could have been we're actually bidding for this event to be seriously and they'd be like oh that's a really good slogan yeah great so far as a skating city I also like there's I'm looking at the categories now there's a category that appears based on the picture to be two couples engaging in a roller skating orgy if you guys are looking at this photo yeah that's what it looks like that's exactly what it looks like so I urge you to check out the website it's novara nov ara 2016 dot iti and yeah I'm just while we're moving on from the roller port I will look up novara on Wikipedia just to see if that is indeed their cities heritage or if they're just making it up we're gonna keep with the tradition of the show and take a glimpse of the IMDB message boy oh for Mona Lisa smile where the top host is it wasn't supposed to turn out like this that's what Nancy says to Catherine at Betty's wedding reception after revealing that her ex sweetheart hadn't really died in World War II but rather married someone else and had kids with her in other words she was supposed to have a husband housing kids yeah so post-do Nancy's remark was another sad effect of 1950s in erica many if not all women felt they had to live up to the mythical housewife ideal without even considering that maybe there were other life paths they could take paths that were really meant for them to take and by the end of the movie we see that the students well at least Joan and Betty anyways do realize that they can shark their own paths in life without having to live up to someone else's ideals there you go ladies and gentlemen someone took it upon themselves to spell out the moral of Mona Lisa so the path this person took is that in 2015 they're posting about Mona Lisa smile on the IMDB message boy oh yeah this is actually very recent from real interesting I second path yeah not too bad a path that you could roll right down on the rules case oh but let's take a turn back to the world of professional sports where I don't know if you fellas watch any NFL this week I watched a little bit yeah a little bit I was curling most today but we're not gonna talk about any of the games we're gonna dive right into the clip of the week which if you watched Monday night football you probably have a good idea of what this clip is going to be Chris Carter Chris Berman and Mike Dica are on the Monday night countdown panel in advance of the Monday night game and we'll hear a little bit of that right now in the clip of the week so the awesome Philly but they got rid of me so I'm going with the Giants let's see the Giants win their inverse if the Eagles win their inverse we a that's it let's all they're picking they're making their picks in terms of who is going to win the Giants or the Eagles so yeah well some Philly but they got rid of me so I'm going with the Giants let's see the Giants win their inverse of the Eagles win their that sound you hear in the background ladies and gentlemen as Chris Carter makes his selection is Mike Dica loudly farted and it shouldn't be this funny but it is so funny it is well you see the video because Mike Dica like leans to the side yeah and I guess green on his face put out like a denial since this happened yeah so I am about to pull up the quote because someone asked about it all you have to ask yeah I'm not if you have Mike Dica's phone number and you're not calling me so some Chicago Sun times yeah someone from the Sun Times asked him but did you fart and so the headline first of all here is Mike did get a nice farting during ESPN's and then the title of the video on the page is Mike Dica rips explosive fart on Monday night countdown and so someone asked him did you did you fart on the show and Mike did kiss says it wasn't me believe me I'm to the point in my life where it doesn't matter one day I'll be happy if I can leave a fart right now it wasn't me I don't care they think they can think anything they want so is he suggesting that every human gets to a point in their life where they can't fart well I'm assuming he means like he can't like you don't be like kind of controlling right he'll like crap himself a bit when he's like he's 76 right now right so he is exactly at that age but it was obviously him though because if you see the video of this moment he'd like shifts in his chair and and it's not like it's not a chair like a weak noise it's a full-on like huge fart rip and Mike is like lifting his leg in classic like let a fart out fashion and the look on Chris Carter's face as it happens just like you have to imagine that it was won't and DICK also says it wasn't me which implies that there was a fart at the very least yeah exactly so he didn't say oh no it was the chair or there wasn't a fart he says it wasn't me well and I've always subscribed to the theory that he who denied it supplied it so exactly it's like a scientific fact and we've had our fun with Chris Carter in the past I was gonna say like Chris Farther like Mike shit cuff more like piss Berman yeah that's a thing we have fun with Chris Carter and that is actually kind of an underrated part of this clip where Chris Carter says the Eagles traded me so I'm picking the John which is awesome like just like 15 years removed from his play and career and he's still upset enough to be like that you know what I didn't give a shit yeah it was kind of overshadowed by the check down yeah which like when we pointed out the numerous times that Chris Carter has basically gone on the air and farted out of his mouth this is basically karmic retribution for all this time you fucked up you get farted on money so there it is normally preferred a part of that I know you could move the week I love it so much we're gonna hear it one more time soon I was so feeling but I got rid of me so I'm going with the Giants I'm going to be the first one here and first week can you fight just the fart yes yes well with the Giants I'm in the camera cuts back to Chris Berman he looks so concerned yeah because they know dick is 76 and their concern he may have legit a man do we want to say anything more about the blue jays before we had him to the mailbag no I think we're kind of I just can't stop thinking about the fart to be honest yeah I really think that if they make if they're gonna get eliminated it will be in game six and if they win game six then they're going to the world series we're like poojays am I right this is I love this course that you know everyone's enjoying this really for 16 episodes in we know what we're yeah I'm gonna play the fart one more yeah just the fart when I first sent this clip to you guys like John didn't even believe it was real sounds like a fake fart sound you know like as a as a person it's too perfect yeah it's too perfect like you you know you probably fart a couple times a day or more depending on what issues you're going on and like maybe once a month you'll rip a fart that's so good it sounds like a fake fart like a whoopie cut yeah exactly and this one was just two I was like okay this can't quite be real and then you guys are like no it's real and I'm like it's it's an uncanny valley of parts though like it's too real yeah it's unbelievable exactly it definitely seems like Mike did cut thought it was gonna be silent for sure just the way he shifts in his chair like he wasn't prepared for that audience actually I do I do it but I will say step and shift it in his chair exactly like the share it farted that were Howard Stern show we have descended farting on the air but what a clip of the week a long time before able to top that one and if I had to guess I would assume the next one that will be that great will somehow also have Chris just if history is any indication that is how peaceful I think the only guitar that's like Mike did get died on the air what was the wasn't there like a movie or something where the guy like died but then like farted himself to death that was definitely a thing in a in like a comedy movie the south park movie no it wasn't south park it was in the Terrence and Philip movie oh maybe it's like dies at the end by lighting this part on no no no no no he also dies that's any dies in the south park no I'm not thinking of that well whatever I listen is one yeah yeah there's definitely now it's a pop it's like a movie it might be a cartoon I don't know someone dies of fart farting self to death yeah alright well people look at us and it's a real good pot and gmail dot com keep our eyes open for that one before we get into the Twitter mailbag though Stefan it is time for the Lucas Visa would do of the week now before we get into the wood do of the week this week I found out some very interesting news my girlfriend's parents live in Yale town and this week I it's a fancy building yeah so yeah it's a nice nice building nice area Vancouver and I got a text this weekend I was way in a curling tournament and I got off the ice to a text from Brooke and all capital letters oh my fucking god you're not going to believe who just moved into my parents building and I was like hmm I was trying to think if they got any new Canucks players because there have been some Canucks in the past that I've lived in their building I'm like I don't think they've gotten any new Canucks I don't know who it could be and she just texted me again in all caps Luca fucking Spisa so so basically what this means is I'm gonna be hanging out at my girlfriend's parents place trying to meet Lucas Bisa and get him to agree to be on real good show but in the meantime Stefan now that we know we've got a pretty close personal connection with Lucas we're two degrees away from Lucas Bisa and it seemed like Brooks parents were already like they're already yeah Brooks mom said she already had made good friends well not good friends but made had a good chat with Lucas Bisa's fiance Lauren said he's she's a lovely lady and yeah next thing you know they're gonna be over for dinner exactly and put on the podcast yeah I said to Brooke we should get him on the show and she's like why you guys have been so mean to him and I was like yeah but like some it could be like ironic like come on and just be like cool oh he come on and just shit all over Stefan and I yeah well he can show me to you well you know without my as you guys know I love Lucas Bisa and so the question this week is this has come from Austin Hall and he asks what you trade speeds off your team if you went to your absolutely favorite team but the year he's traded he wins the Noris trophy single-handedly carries that team to the Stanley Cup puts up the most points and in doing so wins the cons might and puts in the game winning gold win the Stanley Cup for the team the year he's been traded and it's tough because the last thing I want is Lucas Bisa off the Canucks my favorite player thank you's earned every dollar of that contract if it meant all that great stuff happening for speaks and I think there's a good chance of that happening if you got traded another team I this is very believable yeah you know what I have to say I have to it's more I'm doing it for Luca yeah yeah I'm grateful for your obviously winning the Noris trophy but yeah I mean as you guys know I'm huge piece of and yeah I know I think it'll like a nice healthy deserved raise yeah new contract no absolutely were to win the yeah no of course you know he's a physical player kind of like a throwback defenseman you know and if the type of contract where it's like yeah maybe it seems like a bit much at first but I think by the end of the year we're gonna be like well we're underpaying this guy if anything so once again I mean I I love having on the team it would break your heart to do it yeah so I mean what the segment is Luca if you're listening and this is the first episode my I pray it is this is episode number one by the way all those other ones that was a joke what the second is is someone asked me a question and it's it's what would it take to get to get you Lucas B's off the team and they usually say like just horrible like like horribly difficult decisions for you yeah like would you would you like win the lottery yeah because clearly exactly you know we kill your mother yeah you know those kinds yeah it's a lot like oh my god like you know it's Sophie's choice over here yeah absolutely yeah so that's the segment it's a very it's a very positive yeah which is weird for us on the show normally we're pretty negative but it's nice that we do have one positive thing we always talk about yeah absolutely and and yeah it's it's funny that we're talking about it I feel really like almost embarrassed because I know that Brooks mom did bring up the point and said that we talk very nicely about Luca all the time so it's gonna be great to be able to send him this episode and he can listen to the segment I just even that you're gonna be at like the dinner party yeah exactly like just be like hey we just came out with this new sports podcast this first episode and this was a segment that came up because you know I was 16 at the beginning but that was just like a joke yeah yeah exactly yeah exactly it's like it's actually the first time we're gonna say like a different number next week it might be episode 72 you know maybe we record a bunch of them and they were lost yeah maybe you'll see them on iTunes but they actually got to be there you can actually download anymore so don't even try yeah oh the one that's the one the episode that has your name in it that's not it's not it's a different season different one big sausage spisa it's a different totally different spisa it's this guy we know it was kind of like a play on words about pizza because he owns a pizza chain it's not a big thing it's mark spisa yeah it's mark yeah so you're it's fun like everything's great and yeah so I look forward to hopefully him hearing this episode and only this episode yeah of course well this is the only one we can yeah exactly yeah it's good it's the same speed though who owns spisa's actually which is a restaurant in the French quarter of New Orleans there you go yeah mark he lives in Vancouver operates the restaurant from Vancouver yeah yeah we definitely know I'm he's a real guy yeah let's uh let's go back to the next one okay that didn't happen for it's out of time it's a lot of time for time one of my meeting you got me next question all right taking a look right now at the Twitter mailbag Stefan is there anything that's jumping out at you off the top here I didn't actually tweet anything oh I used to get like really shake questions yeah like what are sports yeah here's that's a preview question that is your key 21 who made theme song uh wrote in with most annoying player name mispronunciation and I'm gonna go with um I'm gonna correct you John because every time he comes up on the show you call him segwin another segwin yeah Tyler you do I always let it slide because I don't want to embarrass you but it's I mean it's a question so it's like seg yeah no I know but I like to say segwin you're staying on purpose yeah I don't I just I just don't want to change the inflection of my voice be like segann I feel like this is gonna be like a dawn cherry segment yeah a little long ago I mean he's doing that's my purpose though like he has to be like ask I don't think he's not obvious he just can't read doesn't care it's a combination of the two like you would have to like get it right by accident at one point you would think so but then you look at like um the NHL series we've talked about this how they literally say Alexander seaman like Gary Thorin I guess right yeah yeah yeah and then or like Matt sayin it was yeah and it's like you know like this isn't live studio you can you can try again no I'm mispronouncing it well certainly the best one of all time was Bill Clinton when the Red Wings won the Stanley Coppin he pronounced it Steve as Erman that was for sure maybe we can get that clip up here but that was he's like I'd like to congratulate Steve as Erman that's impression was about as good as Justin's normally are so I apologize in advance but we'll just skip we'll put the clip here to right here be careful Steve as Erman and all the Red Wings that's definitely one of my favorite ones I also like to believe that there is I'm sure there's quite a few names out there that everybody just says wrong and the player just never bought well Cody Hudson yeah or is that per easy oh right yeah well I think that's just because he's a douchebag both of them yeah and then like yeah Alex Simmons has changed his name or was it Semyon Vollama changed the pronunciation of his name and spelling of it yeah of both his first and last name his first name used to be way closer to see me I think it just sort of was even yeah and then he strange it's like SEMYON yeah I would change just SEMYON MELEN SEMYON I think it might even just be an SEM like I N or E yeah oh okay yeah but yeah that's because that's probably how you spell it in Cyrillic most likely yeah yeah yeah we're talking about gravy folks gravy boat not an a b boat next question Rory Mallet writes in or Mallet sorry Rory how to shame who would be more successful John Tortorella rescuing bars or John Taffer rescuing the blue jackets it's a good question I'm gonna go with Taffer and not just because like I don't think John Tortorella is good at anything though partly that also like you know the coaching style that you associate with Tortorella is just like him getting really mad and yelling at people and that's exactly what Taffer does so like systems play like who really needs systems to just go in and be like see Taffer has a soft side though I think that's where Tortorella wouldn't because I don't know he's got a soft side with the reds like dogs and stuff yeah people I he's like a robot I don't think he'd be able to no I so I agree I think Taffer would Taffer is an ideal coach in the Tortorella mold better than Tortorella himself John how do you weigh in well I'll have to go with I'll go with just to be a contrarian and go with Tortorella rescuing bars mostly because I don't think that anything that John Taffer says is real like I don't think that he can actually fix a bar at all so I'd like the idea of Tortorella again I've not seen this the episode of the show but I just think that Tortorella could probably just get by on common sense and a lot of yelling well I just do the same amount of job as quote unquote bar scientist John Taffer world-renowned bars right what I would love to see would be like if they like pretended to like renovate the bar for like three days or whatever and then like they bring everybody in like so like what's the difference it's all a Murphy bed behind the bar it's full of dogs now but I'm Tortorella actually wasn't there for the reveal he was this is yeah though I will say like I feel like when like rich owners take over new teams like one of their big things is to like completely re like design and make it luxurious like the players dressing room we have to make it so the players will want to play here by having a state-of-the-art dressing room and you know Taffer would be all over that even as the coach like he's not like putting any thought into what system the team is like the only thing he's like pretty deciding the locker room to like you call this a player's lounge it's too busy my eyes aren't drawn to like what the trink selections are so here are the waitresses in here so he probably like an old man where are the waitresses he's still watch the show how I am DJ laid back Luke asks do you think Josh Hamilton's pool poor play rather in the alds was because he thought the baselines were cocaine and he was afraid he'd relapse probably not I think he just like is tapering down at this point though he did look kind of scary that was the number one thing just like physically yeah like every time Josh Hamilton stepped up to bed it was like oh that's the guy who like delivers drugs that I was working with oh to me he looks more like the guy who plays in like the he's like the lead singer of like a shitty bar band like oh that's that guy um he's not tote or LLC yeah exactly I um uh I have no comment about Hamilton but I one of my favorite goal celebrations of all time was in the english premier league robbie Fowler was the striker playing for Liverpool and there had been allegations in the press of his like rampant cocaine use which may or may not have been true he was one of the top players in the premier league at the time and so after all these like tabloid allegations came out the next game he scored a goal and then he pretended to snort the six yard box and it was unbelievable just I love that kind of stuff about you know english soccer players are really good about that if they're getting trashed then they will celebrate their goals like like nuts um micholic writes into the show with if you could be best friends with one j who would it be and I'm gonna go with Kevin polar because you know it's not always happy times for your boy whole j-mo sometimes I feel down and I feel like if I fall he would catch me ah there it is see a comment I was pointing at you I was like oh if you fall pula will catch me well also he's been in Vancouver before I pick former Canadian I go about D-Stick's I feel though he could take me up and flip me nice easily easily yeah no question about it what noise do you think you would make when he's flipping you just like ah I don't know what I was hoping for to be the answer to that question but it was everything I would hang out with Edwin because I want to know if he actually says anything ever I don't think he talks at all like I want to know what's going on in that guy's head he just kind of sits there on the bench and has a goofy look on his face every group of friends needs like a strong side yeah totally um but Marcus Roman would be pretty fun too after the med he seems like a pretty chill pretty cool guy and I might be cool for like a day except that I'd probably have to wear like pants with too many zippers when I hung out with him like just like a lot of zippers on the legs for no apparent reason and shit but yeah frequent intern Aaron Makai piggybacks on Mitch's question and says if you could have intercourse with one J who would it be Josh Alton and I'm also going to say Kevin Palar because I feel like if I were to have gay sex with a man he would catch me that was that's good yeah well I mean that well I don't look good it was something it was like objectively bad squeeze and balls I go by the test again yeah after you just throw me out of the back you don't have to answer John I already said Josh on oh yeah right right and that's a fine choice but tender lover um Ryan grab his top up at vervidicus asks if you could take one question that people ask you and drown everyone who asks it would it be what is sports uh yeah yes that's my ex girlfriend asked a question what everyone she asked joking just kidding when it drowned anybody Grana at Holgeron asks who is torto or are they gonna shoot with the cannon first and probably Brandon Dubinsky he's probably got a shorter like leash than anybody Jack Johnson uh Yarmacak Alainan I just want to say his name fine choice you know we like finish names here I'm a yoga show absolutely love it Yarmo Timu Lyden Ferrasa Tamarmanin if you could be one character from friends who would you be what NHL players would play the other five friends I'm ever if he stands like yeah uh here's a fun fact about John Cullen he's never seen a full episode of friends lucky man I've ever enjoyed a full episode of this wow this is so weird are Justin are you a friends person not I mean I watched it growing up because it was just on right all the time but do I have fun memories of it now it's like okay it's like bread because everyone I know I have pretty fond memories of some bread I like bread yeah just there though right yeah you're talking like wonder bread like it's yeah you're never like god I just had this unbelievable toast really wasn't that it since this brand called wonder bread what a great name filled me with wonder when I was chewing it sucks another rights and what is the most annoying type of fan at a sports game people who bang on the glass at hockey games yeah it's out there people who just yell shoot the whole power away specifically hockey I guess we're talking here people who talk about the team and actually just do not know what they're talking about at all but that has to be out of game that could be a part yeah but add a game at even worse you can't really get away from them because they're in your section yeah especially when it's a dude like on a date like trying to be that yeah yeah that's bad I don't I don't like anyone who talks or like yells at the players like they can hear them like you're in the upper bowl they'll be like oh jeez look what are you doing there you gotta ring the puck around the boards come on man and they're like screaming you're talking about Luke a kapooty obviously why would no one would have no one would have no one else this is the douche bag yeah this is the imaginary douche bag yes Luke a kapooty Jeremy at the homie j writes and if you could have Conor McDavid on the connects but he would have Lucas B's his face and voice would you do it obviously yeah Lucas B's you just make Conor David even better yeah could be better looking and like that commercial where he talks with Messier it would be much I'd actually I'd go through it to the end for sure yeah I would have Conor McDavid with anyone's face or voice what a dumb question Ryan classic writes in in the 90s the funk was so brother what is the current status of the funk today I don't know that's just someone who's thought about a question way too hard yeah I mean there's no real answer to that respect to Ryan but I don't know the funk is so the funk so uptown time don't come to our right now don't hate oh man 2015 you have to say the year when you say good opinion guys it's in with will the Montreal Canadiens ever lose a game also why did my wife leave me probably she all Canadians well Montreal's playing Vancouver in about a week I think they will definitely win that game you know and I don't know I mean you have good opinions you think your wife would still be with you so I mean maybe should be better opinion yeah I mean if you even have to ask right like it's like if you don't know why you're in trouble that's why you're in trouble she left you because you don't even know man you don't even know and yes I'm gonna put money on the fact this guy doesn't even have a wife probably never had one well it's like a Twitter thing where you respond to like sports announcements or whatever being like oh my wife left me like serious sports tweets from like hand rolls and doll or whatever yeah no I know I was like doing a joke thing oh I can please fuck it all up for once again I get asked if I really want to piss off a hardcore blue Jays fan what questions should I ask and what things should I say if you're gonna piss off a hardcore Jays fan yeah I've been through enough shit over the last two decades that it's kind of like hard to press well again I just think you you could uh again this is just a classic one but you could just mispronounce all their names yeah like oh who's your favorite player on the Jays probably that incarnation yeah he's a pretty good he's a pretty good player favorite all time Jay like Roberto alma dobar he was great yeah exactly like I think that would be a great I think that would be a great great thing to do um yeah I think that's the simplest answer and what else to annoy Jay's fans well people some of my curling buddies were bugging me about the Jays about bandwagon fans because I'm not a bandwagon fan but like a lot of people bug me about it like a lot of people sitting at the stable who are not well yeah they'll say they'll say like I'm a bandwagon fan so maybe if you want to piss off like a true Jays fan be like oh whatever man you probably don't even watch the games you just hopped on like three weeks ago but yeah yeah either that or just mispronounce most of the most of the Jays names Kevin pillar that would be a great one I really like that pillar guy he makes a lot of good catches Josie Bodger I completely butcher that Bodger is that Josh Donald okay Donaldson if you yeah then that's just your own stupid ass you can't pronounce Josh Donaldson then you yeah you probably wear a helmet guy debort asks which player in any sport would you want to come in and pitch in an MLB game or like a baseball player I guess yeah but like he said any sport I guess yeah 50 cent yeah Clayton Kershaw I guess he's like drawing on the fact that like Pennington went into pitch yesterday oh right so like any improbable pitcher I want I want 50 cent as my starting pitcher with Carly Rae Jepsen in the bullpen yeah oh Charles Barkley yeah that's a good one you see his golf swing I'd like to see his pitch I would love to see big country Reeves pitch an entire game oh also okay we haven't talked about this in the podcast how do you guys feel about Vertanans big country nickname oh that's right yeah I kind of like it yeah it's nice to have it back in town and apparently Bo Horvak gave it to him and didn't know the history of Vancouver which is like the best part of it Bo doesn't know yeah but I'm a fan of it Bo knows sports that aren't Vancouver basketball that's amazing yeah because if it doesn't work out why would you have given him the big country nickname it's very big I guess that's true yeah probably like country music yeah maybe that's true too I mean hockey players aren't you know they're not gonna think about the nickname surely no that's true it was better than Jakey yeah that's way yeah true her vert yeah yeah that's what that's true I yeah okay oh Horvak watched me curl as a weird aside and that made me feel pretty hilarious that he had to sit and watch me I've gone and watched him play several times he's just around him and paid me back and so I expect all of the Canucks now to repay me by coming to watch my curling I was curling against his girlfriend for those of you that are like why the hell was he yet your game and yeah how did she do she's good she's uh she went to junior nationals twice out of Ontario and then now she's obviously living here because of Bo and she's a very nice nice young lady good girl I mean we beat their team but you know but complimentary as uh I was gonna say into feats but you be there so I was complimentary into victory as I often am yeah you guys played great play that Ryan Regan joke giving people credit I don't know if you guys heard this but over there in that locker room they're giving you guys a lot of credit final question before we wrap up the mailbag comes from wrap it up fat leo dicaprio who says if you could pick one NBA player to star in a fresh print style sitcom who would it be he's picking Steph Curry and that's probably a good pick I'm gonna open this up because you guys don't really know the NBA very well so you can I'm gonna pick uh Zach Levine okay is that how he says last name I think so he's white right I wanted to pick a white person okay I'm gonna go with white right uh I think he's white the guy the T-wills I want to I wanted to pick like an obvious white person I think he's half yeah he looks yeah cuz I'm gonna go with Kristoff's Porsingas oh yeah I'd be definitely white just to piss off in New York and I wish he wasn't from Latvia because I was gonna be like oh the fresh prince of Belarus because I'm not yeah that would have been really good just the fresh prince of rega I'm gonna go big baby Davis and the name of the show is going to be called bringing up baby nice I know surprise you picked a baby things were going so well this episode too I really thought we would make it through the whole thing never out um yeah so yeah okay I'll go Zach I wanted to go someone like really like just painfully white but then Seth and did it so um yeah no I got nothing well we could just like pitch the show like if Steph Curry was gonna be honest at home like he just like gets taken in by uh like a native tribe and it's called Indian Curry we can probably add that yeah that's probably that's probably for the best we don't really want to be I like the idea of I remember Lucas be ladies are first you know like a lot of people just never do this again you know like a lot of uh NBA players or whatever they'll go through college and they'll take like really weird majors to graduate like there's probably one that's graduated in women's studies so I'd like to do the fresh prince of bell hooks and then it's just like a really weird feminist uh fresh prince adaptation with an NBA player just a really confusing show we actually get one more really good question down to the wire here John Gooberts right Simmons says best way to get into hockey as a Seattle native with no rooting interest uh not the Canucks build in arena anything anything but the Canucks build your own arena right now just start literally if you build it they will come just start really uh barring that watch clips of the 1917 Seattle pilots when they hoisted the Stanley Cup that was the um metrolids I think it was the pilots that one but you know anyway don't I don't know if it was 17 either don't become a Canucks man but like it's kind of like if you were didn't have a rooting interest already like what team would you naturally be drawn to probably like Pittsburgh I mean it's like I make fun of people who pick Pittsburgh honestly I would say uh Arizona yeah they're a lot fun this year and no one's gonna call you a bandwagon and flights from Seattle to Arizona like a hundred bucks you go down watch a game they got a lot of good young players uh yeah that's not bad actually Arizona good so great arena and that's probably what's going to end up in your city eventually yes yeah it's like getting out of the early yeah so get into it get NHL game center did they end up doing that thing they said they were gonna do where you can buy it for just one team um I heard I'd heard a rumor that that's what they were gonna do that uh because Rogers now owns the whole thing or whatever their their plan was that they're gonna release packages for like about half the cost of center ice where you would get just one all of one teams games yeah so if that is a thing you could get that and get all those center ice in the States is ridiculously cheap anyway it's like 80 bucks and my final point on this is going to be if he's brand new to the sport john goulbert if you're brand new to hockey just go buy NHL 16 and get addicted to it and play the shit out of that game because by the end of playing it for like two months straight you will know every single player in the league yeah that's true and you'll want to play more yeah exactly so there we go great question out of the salt out now i'm not too bad i'm too bad i'll go from there to everyone's favorite news segment grab a towel put some zinc on your nose it's time for Stefan's pool party hey everyone can't take it i love yorky but that just freaks the shit out of me well update for the longer pool uh i am in second last night don't really care anymore nice you should do what one guy did in my league this week uh he was oh in five so he just dropped his entire team which is always a great move to do because that doesn't fuck over that's a pro move well he did it uh the day after waivers ended so like all the top guys in the pool had the top waiver so they got so you dropped alshan jeffree mike evans matt ryan and then of course alshan comes back from injury this week puts up 18 points mike evans puts up or they were on a buy this week but um matt ryan had a good game too so yeah i was a pretty uh pretty cool maneuver so maybe you should do that really upset the balance in the longest pool either that or start tivo i yeah i could pick up tivo again we'll shift over now to the lucas piece of memorial death pool lucas if you're still listening we love you so much buddy we named our whole pool after you and uh currently if you take a look at those standings i was up near the top because of that hot start from adam kracknell no longer the case currently the leading goal scorer in the spisa pool is your dad's team paul's pleasant team on the back of a monster performance from cal clutter buck has launched him into first place in the goal category i know it's your dad took it hugely we had draw for lupol and jonathan bernie as well i told not to pick lupol well yeah lupol if lupol's healthy scoring point so it's that doesn't make sense uh he just hates the least yeah which is fair um i yeah i'm not doing so good because i picked up anders nilsen the backup for edminton edminton's not good and by proxy you would assume the backup's not very good and then he beats vancouver in an impressive 2-1-0-t win so i'm just i'm goalies i'm struggling but the out players i'm doing well casey sesecus noted murderer is uh really murdering my roster which is great it's good to know that he murders in real life as well as in fanta i'm second-laster now i have one goal scored total there's only one team with zero goals and that's rene bork's team uh bork's buffoons and it's kind of amazing that that he's not like leading by being in dead last because he has just like i'm pretty sure two assists on the season at the moment but one of his bullies is anti-miyemi and nyemi's goal tending performance one shutout is probably the only reason is not in last at the moment god i avoided that bullet because vervidek is his team is currently sitting pretty in dead last his team my life is suffering is being led by all kinds of guys who you've never even heard of before chris vandavel this is top center wow yeah i actually have never heard of it just shocking because i know most of the players are like yeah well a lot of players that i'm sure uh that chan torte rella will soon be acquainted with absolutely i'm playing on that line up including serge bob Rossi Curtis meccalini jereboll and uh dalton prout who i didn't know oh yeah he was a knocked out uh luci luci yeah i love him well all right let's wrap this that way up that's it for the pool talk we'll head now into the cherry on top of our cynical sunday it's everybody's favorite second because it means we're on the homestretch one good thing if a lot of people love each other the world would be a better place to live it's true it really would be and uh this is the second of course we're talking about things that we actually enjoy gentlemen what do you like this week uh do you know i know what i'm doing so uh this week i'm recommending a book again i know i'm a huge nerd or whatever but uh just spot this book uh chapters in vancouver was closing so i got a ton of books uh the book is called this is where i leave you by jonathan tropper it was a movie i haven't seen the movie i've heard it's like average so i got a lot of great actors in it uh adam uh sorry jason pateman adam driver uh tina fei uh cathryn well what's her last name anyway she's in a bunch of stuff she's jennifer barkley and parkes and rec cathrynn something han oh yeah yeah han that's right um jane fonda the lady from friday nightlight sus unconstrantly attractive for age um well just in general i don't even say that corry stole also live in one from ant man pina yeah there you go yeah so lots of great people in it so you would think it would be good i've heard it's like average i haven't seen it but but the book is fantastic uh really really enjoying it um probably just like an easy read but like it still uh has a lot to think about in there and um i don't know just a good read yeah my one good thing i kind of thought i was on the fly i was at safe with the other day and they have a cereal called sex cereal and there's there's one for her and one for him and there's a woman on one and a man on the other and i'm actually read the exact kind of picture quickly because i didn't want people to see a picture of sex cereal uh so it's a bit blurry i don't want to look it up but anyway there's just in safe way there's a bag of cereal called sex cereal and i think that's wonderful yeah absolutely all right well it is late october we're getting into uh halloween season my birthday and also john's birthday season whoo at the time of year where i like to watch old scary movies um and i haven't seen a good one on that front lately but i did rewatch one of my favorite comedies of all time the other night which is kind of halloweeny and i you know there's people out there in the world who probably haven't seen it and if you haven't get on it it's on that flicks it's fucking hilarious i'm of course talking about meld Brooks's young frankenstein with jean welder one of my fit like one of the funniest movies i think anyways a lot of those old comedies don't really play all that well anymore um but this one has a lot of like i guess physical comedy that never goes out of style and it's just really funny and also if you've read mary shelly's frankenstein it really like follows the book quite closely in a lot of ways for for a satirical comedy movie so check that one out if you haven't already meld Brooks's young frankenstein that's our one good thing and that will do it for episode 16 of real good show our roommate is stefans parents our intern is still a toilet i'm just in morissette staphon hack john kalen be real be good be real good fart thanks let's see the giant winner in there fantastic you got a hat and a bat and that's not all you got the bleachers they got a spring till fall you got dark in a drink and umpires call what you want let's play with that fly ball seagull coming in from the catch the game i got the winning it's a bad smoker i'm strong beat them all so bad you make headies on dark at the ballpark but that's okay it's a night game
