Hey gang, sorry for the delay on this episode as it was recorded almost a week ago at this point, but better late than never, I haven't had a lot of time lately. I'm only even mentioning this because it'd been a pretty dull week for sports until we recorded, and a million things have happened since then. So while the topics are a bit outdated, the jokes are still fresh and you'll only have to wait a couple of days for this week's show anyways. I apologize, but only because there are kind-hearted listeners out there who choose to support this program with their own hard-earned dollars.

If you aren't donating to our Patreon, then I do not apologize to you because you can't complain about something that's free, and in fact, it's your fault that the show is late. Not mine, okay? Anyway, enough apologizing. Or not apologizing as the case may be on with the show.

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. Ladies and gentlemen, hello and welcome to Real Good Show Episode 39! That's right, another edition of America's Best Worst Canadian Sports Podcast. 39 episodes, episode 39 of course, gonna be decent during the regular season.

Fantastic! It's absolutely putrid during the playoffs, so you cannot bank on this episode come late April into May, and this episode is not going to ever be. It's never existed June, that's probably asking for much too much. I'm wearing as jersey!

As always, Justin Morissette, and with me is... Devin Heck. John Cullen, what do the podcast play offs look like? I don't know, we're probably at a place right now where we draw Geeks vs.

Nerds West Coast in the first round. We ended that podcast. Yeah, it's true. We taught other podcasts a lesson.

We mentioned that actually, that they're not around anymore. I don't think we mentioned it on the show, we definitely tweeted about it, but yeah, since we spoke about Geeks vs. Nerds, they're taking a year off to change its name. So congratulations to Losers vs.

Idiots. No, that's this, the West Coast. No, they're changing it from West Coast to Vancouver. Oh, okay, Geeks vs.

Nerds, Vancouver. They can be more confused, so they're doing an entire year. To change it, yeah, I know we're a Canadian. Well, I watched about 10 seconds of like the 10 minute video they posted explaining.

Yeah, I thought they were taking time off. I don't know. I feel like some of our dedicated listeners watched it and... Just to make fun of that.

And then cut their eyes out. There's definitely some mailbag questions about it that we've ignored over the last couple weeks. Yeah, that makes sense. I think we'll finally get around to answering them this week.

Yeah, of course, why not? But welcome back, John. Thank you. You know, number one, great to be back.

Number two, what the fuck was last week's episode? It was a classic. By all. I guess I leave for like one week and all of a sudden our show is not that way.

It's like all these call in guests. We had a racist robot. He was in our robot. We had a British.

He was an AI. Sorry. You were the racist robot. We had the cyber John.

Oh, that's what we had. I didn't think he was racist. But okay. That's right.

Yeah, well, whatever. I mean, if the shoe fits. I mean, most university students are. I'm not even gonna finish.

It's probably for the best. But yeah, no, good to nice to be back with you guys. As always, I always miss it when I'm not when I have to miss an episode. It pains me greatly.

You've never not been on an episode. That's true. Yeah, I did my field reporting from Edmonton. And it's nice to be back from Edmonton.

I think we were talking to you when you were in Calgary. I was in Calgary. There were a lot of listeners who came out to those Calgary shows. There were.

Yeah. Yeah. It was nice. You know, I was saying to you guys, it's a weird.

Like, I've never really had people come out to my shows that I don't know before. Like, you know, obviously, I go on tour and I have friends that come out to shows. But to just have, like, I guess quote unquote fans that like come out to the show that I don't know was yeah, it was pretty cool. Real good.

Next. Wasn't that what we go with? Flush mob. Yeah.

I don't know what I thought it was goodies. I thought we were just calling them goodies. We only got one response on that last week, which was I literally do not care what you call it. But I mean, technically, you have people who don't know what your show is every show.

Every show. Yeah. I wasn't like, I felt additional pressure. And I mean, especially if you like met some of our listeners, like you wouldn't feel pressure that they're there.

You know what I mean? Because like their opinion about anything literally doesn't matter. But like it just, you know, but it just is still kind of crazy. Like when people, again, I'm just, this is a joke.

I feel like sometimes listeners think that you are really a asshole. Yeah. Please keep coming to shows. It's honestly the best.

It's really cool when people are like, yeah, I'm here because I listen to your show. And they always have like inside jokes or whatever. And you know, they'll be like, Hey, cool guy. You're like, that show is real good.

And then I'm like, Oh, you're a listener. Like the podcast. Yeah. I mean, there's a way or the podcast.

Yeah. You can just know the podcast. Exactly. Yeah, that's true.

Actually, you just have to know the title. Yeah. Yeah. I guess that would be like if you like went up to just like a celebrity, but you weren't really it's like the mitch headberg joke.

I guess you're like not really familiar with the body of their works. You're just like, Hey, good, good bat manning guy. Yeah. And they're like, yeah, cool man.

Did you see it? Yeah. No, you were great. You're a bad man.

Yeah, it's good. It was real bad. You man. But I do want to confirm for people also that you're a very nice man until we press the record about the most of the states.

Just my gimmick. No, it's my alter ego. Well, someone has to be like, you guys are both very nice. So someone has to be someone's got to lay down the wall.

It can be three nice boys. Yeah, no one would listen to this. It's just it's great. Like I've never had anything because yeah, I feel like I'm a pretty nice and like pretty normal.

You're applicable. Yeah, and my regular life. So it's kind of funny that like I am like a true like some people write in and they're like, I fucking hate John and he's like the worst. And then other people are like, John is the greatest thing in the world.

And I'm like, OK, yeah, that's basically like how it feels to be famous, I guess, even though we're not famous, but it feels like that sometimes, you know, that's how people are reacting towards me. But I think ultimately like judging by the number of people that come out to shows because of the podcast, they must, they must like me at least a little bit. I feel like I'll be famous when someone tries to shoot me. OK, you know, yeah, that's yeah.

And not like for something that I said to them like, you know, 20 seconds ago, but like something I said, the podcast, like it would be so funny if someone listened to the podcast and hunted me down at your soccer practice, my soccer practice, my place of work and shot me with a high powered rifle. Right. I mean, which you have said that multiple times. I know it doesn't happen yet.

And it does fit the profile of our listeners to be potential future killers. Yeah. So if someone, if someone kills me, that's what I know I've made it. You've made it.

Yeah. And then we'll have to have like a memorial episode. Yeah. And then we'll replace you with your roommate Chris.

Yeah. And I'd be seamless. We'd still be able to record your own. Yeah.

Our weekly listenership that would probably drop by a good 80%. I don't know, man. I'll just give you guys my password. Yeah, there you go.

Exactly. Well, people be like, oh, it's so weird that Twitter accounts not as funny as it used to be really jumped the shark with a seven died. But I don't know what like we had two cool things with listeners, I guess, last week as far as going to show is one of them where people actually going to your show. Yeah.

And the other was, you know, people following in the footsteps of Rat Turb Piss going to the Arkels show in Brooklyn, I think it was. Yeah, yeah. And telling them that they found the band through our show. So that's really cool.

So that is very cool. We're doing something that has an effect on people's plans for Friday night. Yeah. Yeah.

People are like, well, genuinely love this band now and thank you. And yeah. So like, you know, musicians, if you're sort of famous and want like four more fans, please feel free to spend an hour of your time doing our show next time. You're in Vancouver.

Next time you're in Vancouver. We'll come to you. I mean, you know, we went to the Commodore with you and so we'll come to you. It'll take about an hour of your time and it might make you $100 in the long run.

And if you want to be a fan of our show like Camber and by a ticket to go see a show of a band that we've mentioned or perhaps go to a sporting event, I think we all know there is one good way to do that. And that is a great app to download the Seakeake app onto your phone and use promo code real good at checkout for a $20 discount off of your first purchase. Now you said last week John that you did it at that Oilers game in Edmonton. I did.

Yeah. And it worked out great. The tickets just popped up on my phone, went to the game, got in, got the rebate. Well, I haven't officially received the rebate yet, but I've put in for it.

It was an Oilers game though, right? Well, yeah, that was the- I mean, there's nothing Seake could do about that. Exactly. Yeah, no, that was not part of the rebate.

They didn't give me back the three hours of my life that I spent at the Oilers game. But yeah, it was really good. It's just kind of, you know, obviously a little bit sad this week because Seakeake is- Well, this is the death of Seakeake. This is the final week of our Seakeake contract.

So for those of you who have come to love the 15 minute spots that we do every single week promoting them, well, I'm sorry to tell you that next week you will no longer hear your favorite segments when we tell you that Seakeake is a ticket aggregator. Aggregrater. Seakeakeator. Aggregrater that pulls all tickets available on other sites into one place.

So you can save your time, never miss a deal. You can even set up alerts for upcoming games and concerts and they will let you know if the ticket prices fall. I used Seakeake last week to buy tickets to a sold out show. We're gonna go next week.

It's gonna be tons of fun. For two weeks. Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't be able to go to that show without that app.

I probably could have, but saving $20. Well, I need to talk to the weird Vancouver scalper that has the Chihuahua. It looks like he might murder you after he sells you the tickets. Exactly.

Got to avoid all of that and I can't wait for that show and I'm very thankful that the fine folks at Seakeake helped me go to it. They can help you also go to a game, go to a concert, whatever you like, download the Seakeake app and use promo code real good at checkout to receive $20 off of your first purchase. That is promo code real good. So you're going to put funeral chants over the copy in the post, right?

Yeah. I've had many friends in real life use this promo code. Really? Yeah.

I have many friends. Yes. And that's the unbelievable part. They've all used it.

So yeah, so once again, Seakeakeake app, seake.com. And I think it's official. If you would like to sponsor the show now that our previous sponsor has died, you can get in touch with us real good pod at gmail.com conversely, you may send it by carrier pigeon and or rescue dog, whatever works. And not a dog that you rescued.

Let me keep that clear. You're talking about the same for like the barrel around us. Exactly. And then put the message in the barrel and some money.

It'd be funny if one of those dogs was like going to rescue someone and they were like, oh, thank God, like you have food and water and the barrel and whatever. Oh man. Yeah, but that'd be fun. I just wrote like a far side cartoon.

Yeah, you totally did. Yeah, 100%. Scary Larson. He's still alive.

So there's your funeral chant. Oh, oh. Do you have an idea for a sponsor company ship thing next episode? It's Tenga, the Japanese brand of masturbation aids.

Okay. The company's masturbator. Sorry, wait. So you this is for people who have AIDS when they masturbate?

No, can you masturbate a few? I guess you can. The company's masturbators have been noted for their design aesthetics, unexpected for a sex toy and have received an industrial design award. That's Tenga, Japanese masturbation.

How do you spell that out with a T? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So quick update on the Gary Larson front.

He is still alive. He's 65 years old. He's not like some weird racist like Scott Adams. He lives in Tacoma, Washington.

I'm going to be passing through Tacoma this weekend. And he retired and ended the series in 1995 at the ripe old age of 44. 44. He's like, all right, I'm done forever.

Man, what a great cartoon. That's insane. Well, you know what? That gives him way more time to use the Tenga cup or one time use and disposable masturbation cup.

They have a big day! They come in a variety of songs. They fit me. And they all appreciate real life experiences.

Each sensation is also available in soft and hard varieties, as well as a US version which features a longer depth cup. Nice. This is the promo code Jerkfast at Tenga.com and... That's the weirdest, because you know, Flashlight legit did, I don't know if they still do.

They sponsor a ton of podcasts. Yeah, they got it well. So I talk about this on stage. I don't know if I've ever told you guys this, but I went to just for laughs last summer.

I told you guys that. You got a show when we came back from just for laughs, but there were some weird things in your gift. Yeah, I got a flashlight. Yeah, so that was like part of the...

Yeah, they're sponsoring a lot of comedy. So every comedian got like a flashlight in their swag bag, which is a very strange gift to receive. What hole was it? It was just the standard issue hole.

Okay. Yeah. It was, well, I think it was supposed to increase stamina, which is weird because like if you're the type of person that fucks a flashlight, you probably don't really need to increase your stamina. Just in case.

Yeah, but you never know. I mean, you just want to be prepared, I guess, but training for the big game. So yeah, so I do, I talk about this on stage, how weird it is and, and yeah, basically it's just strange to me because they're like 80 bucks. So I tried to sell it or like I thought I was going to sell it.

I didn't try to sell it. Like this one, the avatar one. Oh, no. Oh my God.

No, what? For those of you who can't see this picture, which is all of you, it's a blue. It's a blue. Well, yeah, I guess it's like an alien.

It's like it's called an alien male masturbator. That's a no pass. No, it's just a. So yeah, so I was going to sell it, but then I really didn't want to meet the kind of person that would buy a flashlight on Craigslist.

Yeah. So that'd be a weird guy that was still in the box. Yeah, I was still in the box. I mean, we're going to like describe it as like lightly used in the, no, no, I never used it, but just like a no, but we know they have is the Vancouver police department offers like a safe area to do like, well, because I was going to say like, I wouldn't want to like personally, I was thinking like, I wouldn't want to meet the guy.

So it'd be like a ransom scene in a movie. I'll be like, I'll just tape it under the mailbox and you just throw the money in the river. Yeah. But you go to the police station and make it really obvious.

Be like, here's your flesh. Yeah. See, when you said a safe place to do Craigslist deals, I thought you were going to say a safe place to dispose of your flesh. That's well, if so fact, though, I mean, whatever.

Yeah, I see. Yeah, very weird gift, but it did happen to me. Also one of the greatest moments I've ever had in comedy on stage because when I talk about it, I say that I got a flesh light and then usually the crowd laughs. And then what I do is like, I know that there are people in the crowd that won't know what it is.

So I get someone in the crowd to describe what it is. And so I usually look like when I say the word fleshlight at people who are laughing because like I assume that they get the joke. So this one at one of my shows in Calgary, this like 55 year old man started laughing. I'm like, oh, that's kind of weird that he would know what it is.

So I asked him, I'm like, you know, what's your name? He's like, oh, Alan, and he just looked like just this down down to earth, like just a dad, just like a dad, just like a chill dude. And so I was like, so I was like, you laughed. So can you describe what a flashlight is?

And I'm like, wait, I'm like, I said this like three times. You thought I said flashlight and then everyone just starts laughing. And I'm like, OK, I'm like, I love this for two reasons. I'm like number one that you thought like that I said flashlight.

That was super funny. But then number two that you also thought that I thought people in this room were dumb enough that I they didn't know what a flashlight was. I was like, hey, man, you need to describe to all these idiot people what a flashlight is because they might not know. And so then I had someone else describe it.

And then Alan yells out, well, I'm glad I didn't know what it was. Well, to be fair, his description also describes a flashlight. It illuminates the dark. You know what I mean?

If you own a flashlight, be like, that's your thing. Get home from work. Right? It's a metaphor.

Frightens your day? Not like literally. You use a flashlight for that, Justin. You know what a flashlight is.

Yeah, of course I do. I was thinking that like an inventor girl who lives in Victoria who made like that mug that charges your phone. Why would I know that? She also made like a flashlight that like runs on the heat of your hand holding.

Oh, yeah. She could also make one that runs on like the energy of you fighting it basically. But we went down this road because I was going to say, but I was going to say that, you know, it's the weirdest thing to sponsor podcast because, you know, we talked about our own experiences using Seac. The last thing I want to hear on a show is like Kevin Smith being like, I fuck it.

I strongly recommend you fuck it too. It's great. Like, well, I started reminding me of her taint brown area. Whatever.

I've got a treat up again. No, absolutely not. Sure. Yes, I have it.

But I know you do, but no, it's fine. No, thanks. Well, should we should we do some review review? Yeah, because there's a lot of good.

There's a few ways that people can help the show, obviously. Seacie can help the show, but no longer as of this. Here lies a geek. We knew him well.

He had a seat. Praise be to Tanga. But there are, of course, some other ways that you can help the program. You can head on over to patreon.com slash real good show and donate to keep the lights on and help us, you know, make it make it happen for month to month.

And we do appreciate when we get some new donors. And I think the fact that I mentioned we hadn't had new donors in a few weeks on last week's episode really prompted people to step up their game as far as donations go because we have not one, not two, but three new patreon donors this week to thank. And up first we have, oh my goodness, I hope I say this right. You're practicing.

I know, but I don't think I'm going to do it. But we have Hireshi Somayaji. I think you nailed it. I hope so.

I think I was good. Hireshi, I'm sorry if I did not say your last name, right? Sorry, sir. No, no, no, I thought I was Ray Williams.

My apologies. North Americanized Ray Williams. Thank you, Ray, for your kind donation. Much appreciated.

Hireshi Somayaji. Thank you so much. Thank you to my friend and writer for the Dawson Creek newspaper up north. Mike Carter donated to the show this week.

Thank you. Mike or as he's known in Japan, you scame or zoom? Of course, sticking with journalists who for some reason decided to squander what little money they make on supporting this program. Michael Hingsdon also donated to the show.

Thank you. As he's known in Japan, I'm a if we just want. Thank you to all three of those fine folks for supporting the show. Yes.

See, OK, so the last two game in a minute, the last episode you said, like, oh, we haven't got any donations for a while. We got three donations. Yeah. And now you're like playing this up.

Like, oh, we got three donations. We're going to lose money. Yeah, because people are going to be like, oh, they got three. I don't mean to.

Every episode you should be like, oh, like, we have no donations. Not enough. Oh, we went out and panhandled for donations and a little kid kicked me in the balls. My alimony is not.

I mean, it does cause some some relational strife sometimes. If we're doing a break up breakdown, how much work I put into this show that doesn't really pay me very much. So killing it, though, you can help me avoid break up breakdown in future episodes by donating to the show. I don't know.

That's a good show. It's a beloved segment. There's another way that people can help the show. So of course they can head on not online.

I mean, part of it is not. You need to do it because the iTunes store requires internet. Yeah, but you press the white button with the music note and that will take you to iTunes. Of course.

Why button? Well, how music now? It's actually two music notes. Well, they're connected.

Yeah, that's one music note. No, no, it is two notes. See, it's right. Well, it is, but it's not, though.

I mean, it's one symbol. But it's two notes. I guess so. I guess theoretically.

We're both. Well, all you need to do is head on over there. I'm assuming you subscribed to the show already if you're listening to it right now. But why not rate and review it on iTunes as well so that you can take part in everyone's favorite.

Make sure if you're not subscribed, sort of cut you off to download the episode. That always helps us with the algorithm of iTunes and to get us on those sweet, sweet podcast charts. Yes, download the episodes, but rate and review also for a segment that we call review review. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up.

Hi, sir. This is awesome. Worst episode ever. This week's review comes to us from, I don't know, it's tough to say who this could be.

He's written that his name is J. Ferrar. Oh, it could be anyone. Doesn't sound like Justin, we know.

It's not Ferrar. And he writes Adolph, you have nothing to lose, folks. You have nothing to lose. Look, I'm going to level with you here, gang.

Have I been on the Real Good Show podcast as a featured guest? Yes. Have I done so many times? Again, yes.

Am I arguably the most infamous and well-liked guest in RGS history? By many people's reckoning? Yes. But does that affect my objectivity when it comes to evaluations of this fine program and just tremendously talented hosts?

Of course it does, yes. But still, this is a hell of a show. If you listen to enough podcasts, then you begin to realize the thing that keeps you coming back isn't the concept, the production value, or the guests, which are fantastic on this show as it happens, especially the guests, which, wow. It's the chemistry.

It's how the hosts work together and play off each other. It's something that works far below the surface and it's the first thing you notice. And these three guys, or two of them anyway, and the third guy is just sort of thrown in there. Have it in spades.

That's why I'm listening. And also, because I'm a very popular guest, they pay me one Canadian dollar each time I listen. It's mostly the chemistry and again, the money. But I think you'll agree that the chemistry is undeniably fantastic, as is the money.

Five stars. So, big thank you to Jesse for that wonderful review. Joff. It's sort of shocking that he is that excited about one Canadian dollar, you know, like the one that we give him every time.

It's got an absolute on it. Yeah, like it's a nice piece of currency. It looks what's. It's got a nickname.

It's a loony. The loony. It's a loony. Yes, exactly.

We've given him three so far. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Sorry, is this the part where I have an existential crisis because he said I wasn't that good or I don't know. He's never actually been on an episode with you.

That's true, actually, or not. Was that all three that I messed up? All three of you were not there. Well, I mean, yeah, I guess you're right.

I don't really know what to say about that other than he's fat. I guess is that we, I don't know, that's just like our ongoing feud that doesn't even make sense because I never met him and it doesn't seem that like he's fat. Yeah, I have said. It's his ex wife, right, that we talk about as fat.

Yeah, yeah, he does. Sorry, he's not. Yeah, because I saw a picture of him today and he looked like a rather decent looking young man. It's a running gag online to make fun of him, but I'm going to compliment him right now, not only for that review, but also for having an enormous front lawn and driveway.

Yeah, he's got a beautiful driveway. Although he does he kind of sweep up the lawn clippings. It is the biggest driveway I have to go for. Where does he live again?

Oh, Nashville, Tennessee. Sweet. Does he go to Predator's games or? He does a pretty sweet.

He's a predator. He goes to games with Dog Boner every so often. Ah, okay. How's he do?

Yes. He's going to be really mad that I made fun of his lawn. Dog Bon and Bron's him. Like, completely safe.

That's going to be the worst offense. No, he may refuse to come back on the show. Well, interesting. No, I'm saying because nobody's proud of that lawn.

Oh, I see because it's just really shitty. My manager at Safeway, when I was younger, he only had pictures in his office of his lawn. I mean, imported Bermuda Green. Nice lawn?

Yeah, it was a good looking lawn. Yeah, he didn't have his wife or kids or anything as off his pictures as lawn. And he would send the pictures of his lawn to other Safeway managers in Bragg. That's amazing.

That's fantastic. Maybe him and Jesse should have a lawn off. Yeah. Every time someone makes a lawn, he has a minor heart attack.

Really? I feel as though I should have. It's like a time when I say, yeah. Yeah, kind of.

But not going to be able to talk about the hard part. The insults that he listened to finally earlier last week. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah.

Well, the minor heart attacks could also be from all the big mags. Speaking of people who tweeted negative feelings about the show, Jesse freaking out about finding that we had said some not so nice things about him on previous episodes, ingest, of course, maybe not just on. Of course. No, of course.

Everything I say is ingest. The art is formerly known as fucking self. A girl IRL who is now called Tony at its Tony now tweeted once again about his displeasure with this podcast. Are we sure that it's about our podcast?

Oh, yes. He formally said, oh, good. Born in a sec finally gets a podcast or he made like a wish on a monkey's paw. Yeah, for a born in a sec podcast.

And then the twist, of course, was it's a show about sports. This week, he said, or I guess this was several weeks ago, a few weeks anyways, podcast idea. Take one of the funniest guys alive and have him talk about boring incomprehensible hockey shit for an hour. My favorite thing about the way he tweets about this show and your involvement in it is that it makes it sound like, Stefan, that we are holding you hostage and you were doing this against your will.

You definitely are not holding me hostage. He send anyone to rescue me. This is completely voluntary. I love being here.

I'm holding up a newspaper with the day's date because I love current events. No other reason. Yeah, but I mean, I have fun. Yeah, you're doing this.

Yeah, I think, you know, I mean, you know, last episode we talked about sports for like five minutes. Exactly. So, you know, I think I think it varies. There's episodes that are more conduction.

I think he was probably tweeting about the one where we like did our world cup, RGS world cup teams. Yeah, he didn't like hockey. That was probably not, yeah, not a lot to dig into there. No, but I did like hockey.

Yeah. I think I've asked you on the show before. Like we're tarnishing your brand online by making you a sports guy. But you said you would have always been a sports guy.

Yeah, I'm always been a huge sport. Like my fantasy football shit. Yeah, sports. Yeah.

I just I like joke. Why do we have to fucking defend this? Just because this asshole doesn't do our show. Go fuck yourself.

Show me. He doesn't do the show. He likes the show. He's the problem.

So then shut the fuck up. He's talking about how it sucks. Well, it doesn't like sports. Oh, well, I think the fact that he's still listening to the show, I think shows that it's, you know, honest to God, when was the last time we talked about sports on the show?

Well, not this episode. It's been a long way. Well, no, I'm wearing a dankoo jig. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But that's about it. Last episode you talked about the WHO for like four minutes. We talked about the Canucks for about ten minutes. The WHO has more or ten minutes.

Monster trucks is a sport. Well, racist AI. That's a sport. Well, yeah, he did have some good thoughts about basketball.

Exactly. We could talk about sports right now. Sure. We could talk about it.

We could update our listeners on the March Madness. Oh, yeah. Because we have a March Madness pool. Should we take a look at the standings here?

I know none of us are winning. That's for sure. There is a John who is currently in the first. I guess because we're doing a con.

So I guess I should technically be looking at this because you guys are going to do a thing here that involves you not looking at the pool, correct? Well, no, I already looked at the final four. OK, but Justin hasn't. But I can give Justin.

Well, I can do the fake name thing with Justin. Right. So John, yeah, John at I Hate Skater 69 is in first, but he's tied with Tyler Butts, Butts, Wonderful Butts. And it looks like they both have the same bracket.

It would appear. Given that they have the same number of possible points remaining too. No, because Tyler has, sorry, John has Oklahoma winning and Tyler has UNC winning. So it would depend on which one.

Well, Justin, I know you're a big March Madness fan. Oh, yeah. And they're really the only new. I picked Xavier to win because they were the X-Men school.

So, you know, so what I'm going to do here is I'm going to read out school names. I just knew what I was doing. So don't look at the bracket. OK.

I'm going to read out some names and you're going to tell me is it's a real team or a fake team. OK, so real school. These are smaller schools that were in March Madness this year. OK.

I'm ready. And some of them are fake. Yes. The Stoney Brook Seawolves.

Real school. Correct. I think I picked them to advance based on that name. The Hamptons.

Are these teams that like the ones that you're reading on that are real are ones that were in. This year. Yes. The Hampton Pirates.

Fake school. That's a real school. I don't know where in March Madness this year. It seems so plain I guess.

I guess if they were fake it would be like more over the top. Yeah. Maybe. I mean you don't know that.

I think you'll probably know when I get to the fake. The Weber State Wildcats. Real school. That's a real school.

I'm the Ray March Madness this year. I don't have them on a roll. The Steven F Austin lumberjacks. That is, I know Steven F Austin is a real school.

I don't know if they're the lumberjacks. Oh. 50. Yes they are.

Yes they are. They are UNC Asheville Bulldogs. Real school. Now I'm rolling.

You're rolling. Eastern Wyoming basketball team. Fake school. It's a real school.

The Buffalo cocksuckers. Fake school. Yes that's a real one too. The University of Alaska hockey team that was forced to play basketball.

They're still wearing skates and everything. Fake school. Also a real school. A picture of my ass.

Real school. Yes it's correct. A picture of my ass A&M. Fake school.

It's a real school too. The Outback Steak I was accidentally became an accredited educational institution. Real school. Yeah.

The Harvard of our attending school. Oh nice. John Taft of the Dean of that school? He's the John of that school.

Real school. He's the professor of bar science. Yeah. Everyone on this team has jacked off to the Green Lady M&M.

Fake school. Obviously that's cool. You got that one right. And last but not least, Isis.

Real school. Yeah they're killing it. Are they in the final four? They're blowing up.

Are they in the final four? I don't know who's in the final four. Wasn't that part of the game too? Yeah the final four is the Outback Dingos and the other Isis.

Well actually can I try? I guess I actually didn't look up. Okay sure so okay. I'll give you guys some.

I think I don't look up. I don't want to. Okay so in the final four. Okay.

Kansas. Are we saying yes or no? Yes. You're saying yes or no?
