He wasn't pre-sick. He wasn't pre-sick. He's like a training camp. Yeah, training camp number.

We've all seen you. Wow. That's a good poll. That's like how deep we are at this point though.

We're in half of our eighties. Half of our eighties. Half Swedish. Yeah.

Third round trick. Never played really hardly anything. Mike Brown and Nicholas Jenson. I thought you were 36.

You were 46. No, because Jenson is 36. Mike Brown with a mustache. Yeah.

That very same. Wow. Justin Moore is that with you once again and with me as always is. Stefan Heck.

John Cohen. I feel like that might be the first time we talked before. No, we've talked before. Well, well, sometimes when we have to re-shoot the intro because Justin sucks at it.

I'm usually pretty good. You're usually very good at it. And as you can hear from his laughing, we have a fourth voice in the mix here today. Yeah, new board.

We can have a fourth man. Yes. Welcome comedian Matt Wright to the program. Thank you for having me, gentlemen.

Anytime. Anytime you're here. Yeah. I'll be back for 47.

Leo Kameroff. Yeah. This is it. I brought reinforcements this week because Matt's also a Leafs fan.

So it's nice to have a fellow idiot on the show. Evening the odds. Yeah. It's smart.

I mean, but you guys hate you. It's not like you guys hate your team. Yeah. It's fine.

I didn't know dispute over the quality of the Vancouver can ice. Yeah, you guys are in dire straits. No one would know better than you, however. Yeah, no.

We've been making the comparison on the podcast last few weeks that the Canucks right now are like the Leafs were like seven years ago. Oh, like the Dave Nounas Burke Leafs? Yeah. Yeah.

Just kind of like we didn't really have a direction. We kept trying to win even though we shouldn't have been trying to win. I feel you. All that goes on.

But if it makes you guys feel any better, you guys have like the fifth best grandland in the league. I don't think it makes them feel better. Well, we were talking about this earlier. There's the rumor that Dale Talon is going to get hired apparently.

And like normally that's like horrible, but I'm kind of just like, well, it's like a huge upgrade. The guy who like forgot to fax the qualifying offers is a huge upgrade. He's the owner of current management. That's how bad it is right now.

That's started out as just like hypothesizing from Elliott Friedman. But I don't know if Elliott Friedman ever really is just like thinking out loud so much as he's presenting information that he's aware of, but not being like, this is concrete information. But just let me say it anyways. Yeah.

I think when it's like people doing stupid shit like that, I feel like he's a lot more kind of cagey about how he presents it. It's not just like, yeah, Dale Talon fucked up. He's like, well, Dale Talon maybe you decide. No, I'm talking about him coming to the Canucks.

That thing with the block talks and all our failures. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's true.

The way he framed it was that it seemed suspect like he was like, people are telling me it's not going to happen. He brought up like a real challenge. I'm pretty sure it's going to happen. Yeah.

Well, Talon just like failed upwards in Florida, right? It got fired upwards. Yeah, totally. Promoted to president from the end.

Yeah, he got fired upwards. Yes. So Florida's so strange though because they have like all these amazing prospects and a great developmental and then they're like, also let's give Dave Bullen the money that Toronto was too dumb to give him. Well, that's the Chicago connection once again.

Yeah, like they definitely had to do some work to beat the Leafs to Dave Bullen because the Leafs wanted Dave Bullen. Oh, my God. So to let like they had to beat that offer like we were pretty close to Edmonton beating us for Clarkson too. But then we were like, no, we missed out on Dave number one.

We need Dave number two. Oh, my God. The Mimico boys. Oh, God.

The worst stuff. It's a miracle we traded that contract. Yeah, it's an absolute miracle. It's the best moment in my Leafs watching career.

Yeah, which is so sad. I fist pumped when that happened like we won the Cup. Like I saw on Twitter, it was like, I ran outside of the Leafs flag. I was honking my car horn.

Well, that's what's going to like when Ben gets fired. Well, you're getting a tattoo. So that's exciting. Yeah.

Sweet. I'm assuming the speeds of contract and the doors of contract will have to expire because I don't imagine. I could see someone maybe taking speeds up a door set. I just can't see it.

He's a like below replacement value player on a really bad track. He's so bad. Oh, my God. Yeah.

So I mean, yeah, it's not good for all I'd say. Yeah, it's kind of rough times, but the good news is they're not on TV anymore. So that's true. Yeah, I mean, it's not like directly in your face every day.

Exactly. I'm really hoping that no one hires Carlisle. They start the season slow and they fire Desjardins and hire Carlisle just to make it even more leafy. Yeah.

Who thinks that if you don't, you shouldn't wear helmets because it's making players get concussions because it's making their heads too hot. Yeah, that was great. Yeah, that was great. Yeah.

Actually, yeah. Yeah, it's incredible. I think I still don't upgrade on Willie. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I don't think Randy Carlisle has a heart attack every day. Yeah. So yeah, we talked about that on the podcast when Willie was in the AHL, they hooked him up to a heart monitor and they found out basically.

He's basically having nonstop panic attacks while the game. But the article painted it as a good thing. Like he's so into the game. Oh my God.

Hot takes. He's literally living and dying with every moment. It's a miracle he's not dead already. Yeah.

Well, I feel like this is a record for actually talking about sports. Thanks a lot. I'm here for it. Castle.

Where this is where we're supposed to just riff around. This is good. Our three listeners that listen to this for sports talk. Demand's more sports.

Oh yeah. They're just off the chain right now. Yeah, they're loving it. I'll anti-makeup for it when we start talking about basketball and I'm way out of my my depth.

That's not all of our depth. We're all out of our depth on most of the things we talk about. That's not really a relevant point. I don't even think that sports thing as human beings.

Just like people don't admit it. Oh yeah, absolutely. Most podcasts are people talking out of their depth and three dedicated listeners who remind them how out of their depth they are after the competition. Well, and we have some dedicated listeners of our own.

In fact, some listeners who were kind enough to donate to our Patreon campaign. Our Patreon? I feel like it's pretty hot right now. Yeah.

And we have some progress to report in terms of Patreon rewards. We do. And that t-shirts will be printed very soon. They will be.

So those of you that were $20. Please, 15. Perfect if you're 15 and above. They've been waiting for like a year.

Have you been waiting for a while? Yeah, have you been waiting for a while. Tweet us your shirt size and we'll send you the opposite. Well, I still have Sam's jersey.

Yes. Well, all the more reason for us to have a live show here before 2-1. Yes. It'll happen soon.

Wow. We're up to $355 a month. Thank you, listeners. It's really cool.

It's crazy. Thank you. And we have some people to thank this week for pledging to our Patreon. Stephen Ellis.

Stephen Ellis. My friend. Good friend of the show. Stephen Ellis.

Thank you. How much did he donate? Wonderful. What happens to be happening?

We'll see you there, Stephen Ellis. Do we have any? No, no news on that front. Yeah, no.

Don't even get me there. But it could be very soon or it could be in a few months. Either way, it's happening. Yeah, it'll happen.

At some point. Yes. Stephen, you got free admission because of your blood. Thank you, Stephen Ellis.

It's not free. He's paying. It's compliments of the donation. The donation is like, go to Etsy.

Exactly. Exactly. David Hamlin. Sorry, wait a second, Matthew.

Could you please thank Stephen Ellis? Thank you, Stephen Ellis. Thank you. How rude of you was that to come on your podcast and not thank our donors.

I know, it is rude. Lutacris. Anyway, I'm glad you pulled it together. You said I didn't even know what that voice was.

I don't either. As it was coming into my mouth. It was embarrassed. I can hear it with the headphones.

I'm like, oh, damn it. David Hamlin also donated to the show this month. David Hamlin always throws me off because there was a curler named David Hamlin who won the World Junior Championships in 2000. Every time I know it's not him, but every time I hear David Hamlin, I'm like, oh, right.

Maybe this is him. No, I'm pretty sure it's not. Because I thought he was one of our friends. No, I don't know him, but I think he does submit to the Twitter mailbag.

Okay. I don't know. And also, fake Steinberg. Oh, what a guy.

I believe like Calgary Flames blogger. He is one of the Calgary Flames bloggers that came to my show in Calgary and did not speak to me. Oh, it was really weird. There was like a bunch of guys from Flames Nation came out to my show and they were all like talking to me about it on Twitter before they came.

And then the show happened. And I was selling t-shirts by the door that you have to exit out of the club and they did not say anything to me. And I was like, why didn't you guys say hi? Because it wasn't like I even like after the show, they tweeted like great show tonight, whatever.

So I know it wasn't that. Like they tweeted it without even me saying why didn't you say hi. They were like, oh, yeah, like great show. Like they said, great show first.

I was like, yeah, it was so great. You didn't want to talk to me. And they're like, uh, we're like all bloggers, you know, it's just like whatever. It's one of those classic Canadian things.

I've just like seen a famous person and being like, I shouldn't bother them. That's true. Yeah. I think they're intimidated by your raw animal sexuality.

Yeah. Maybe that's what it was. Busting up some Ikea beds. Yeah, that's right.

Oh wait, that's a callback is something we got on here. We have a lot of callbacks like that. Oh, you're funny. Yeah.

So a lot of sexual energy at my shows for sure. But thank you to those. Thank you very much. Thank you to all of our donors.

And we have a new board that we're using this week that has allowed our friend Matthew to be on the program. Thank you, donors. Matt wouldn't be here without the donors. Matt, you should be thanking the most of all.

Yeah, that's right. Thank you most of all. No. Of course, somebody else who contributes to the program also and we would thank and kind for sponsoring this program would be the kind folks at Seek Geek.

If you need to buy a ticket to a concert or a sporting event, the best place to do that is the Seek Geek Mobile app. Seek Geek Mobile app. Or Seek Geek.com perhaps. If you want to do it on the computer, Seek Geek.com.

You can sell your tickets there too. Yeah, if you don't have a phone or if you're on wind mobile so you can't get any service, then go use public Wi-Fi and a computer and go to Seek Geek.com. You can do it at the library. Yeah, exactly.

You can do it at the library. Although we're anti-library on the show. I don't want to get into it. Okay, that's fine.

Matt, the very anti-library. Thank you, Seek Geek. I'm further, because this is recorded, I'm not. I'm just the Vancouver library.

The big corporation really gave me the keyers to shoot me up and spit me out. The big corporation, the library, it's like Parks and Rec. You just hate the library. Yeah, yeah.

A ground down by the bureaucracy, I'm at all. I'm so sorry to hear about that. I tell you so much. I tell you where there's no bureaucracy grinding you down.

That's on the Seek Geek mobile app. That was the loosest segue in the history of this show. Where you pay the price you see at the beginning, that's what you pay at checkout. There's no hidden fees or any kind of sneaky bureaucracy like that.

What you see is what you get and what you get are great seats. You can get a $20 rebate if you use our promo code real good under the settings tab on the mobile app or at checkout, I believe, on the website. Yeah. Get yourself some cheap tickets to a sporting event or concert.

This playoff season. Perfect, Matt. What would you have you used Seek Geek before? Yes.

In Tampa Bay, last year, me and my dad went to Game 1. I went to events like that, packed a coach elite. And it worked. It did.

Only because of me. That wasn't the money. I'm going to look up. Let's see what's going on in Newfoundland right now.

Oh, Christ. Is there anything pressing on? I want to put my location as... I'm going to zoom Great Big C.

I know something on. Great Big C is actually bigger everywhere else besides Newfoundland. Really? I've heard.

Well, I mean, they're not big in Newfoundland. They certainly are. But like, yeah, like in Europe and stuff. I feel like you just hear about it because people associate it with Newfoundland.

They very much do. Yeah. I was in Newfoundland when I was in Newfoundland when we met. And I got invited to a party at Allen Doyle's house.

Oh, really? Yeah. Which was like the most Newfoundland thing that's ever happened to me in my entire life. Yeah, that's a stereotype.

That's a stereotype. It was so weird because, yes, we did the show. It's a kitchen party at Allen's place. Yeah.

So we did the show. And then this guy came up to us after the show and he was like, ah, you guys are great. Like, you got to come back. Allen Doyle's having a birthday party for his wife.

You got to come back to the house. And we're like, okay, there's probably like a 50% chance this guy is lying. And then I'm like, no, wait. He's from Newfoundland.

He's like, oh, no, wait, he's talking about great big sea in Newfoundland. He's probably telling the truth. Oh, yeah. And so then, but we didn't really want to go.

Me and Kyle didn't want to go. So one of our Brett, the guy that was headlining the show, he was like, I'm sure I don't give a shit. I'll fucking go to Allen Doyle's house. So yeah.

So we went to Allen Doyle's house and he said it was not the party at all that he was expecting. Like he had rented like a string quartet and they were like playing in the backyard and it was like the premiere of Newfoundland was there. Oh, really? Like random shit like that.

Danny. That was Aaron Neville. I know. I know.

To call back to my... Well, one of our listeners went to a James Taylor. Yes. Who was that?

Marlon. Someone posted on. So yeah, I did that Aaron Neville impression thinking it was James Taylor on the show a few weeks ago. So yeah, that's funny.

He's playing at the mile one center for two nights. He is. And then the Beach Boys with Mike Love are playing there as well. And that is it.

This is what happens. That's the events near St. John. So I guess if you're going to use Seekyck, Matt, maybe use it outside of where you live.

Yeah. When concerts come to Newfoundland, we do not get anyone who is not at least 15 years past their time. Well, I was going to say like I feel like those shows like the type of people who go to them don't know how to download apps. Yeah.

So tickets are not getting sold. No. Oh no, they will. Seekyck has a mailing service as well.

A lot of people may not know about that. But if you send a self-addressed stamp envelope to seekyck.com, New York, New York, you'll be fine. Good luck out there. That's the address.

I have the address is Seekyck. Yes, Seekyck.com. The address. They're pretty good.

Seek.com street. They're pretty big. They own a street. Yeah.

Promo code real good. Yeah, use that $20 off a check out if you want to go see. Nah, man. Nah, nah, nah.

It was real good. It was malarkey Phillips in the end. I confused those guys. Yeah.

The same guy. No, I don't think so. No, Marlin is definitely malarkey. No, no.

Marlin is from Kamloops and malarkey is from PEI. So there you go. Well, that makes sense. James Taylor was just an PEI.

That's freaking weird. It wasn't his name. It's not malarkey. Well, it's not malarkey either.

We just have two fans of Marlin. Oh man. I was sure that that was Marlin just doing like a set just like changing his Twitter name. Fake Facebook name.

Yeah. Okay. Just to go off the grid. Yeah.

Paraller, live your life, man. Okay. If his real name is malarkey, he's from PEI. It's possible.

It's certainly possible. It's from PEI. His last name is definitely. Last name is Phillips.

That's malarkey. He's a malarkey. Also, if you want to use promo code MAT right, you can get half price into Alan Doyle's wife. Just for your listeners.

I don't know. I like that you said next birthday party, but you slurred it with the previous word. So satellite, you said Alan Doyle's wife's sex birthday party. No promo code for that.

You pay full price. What does a Newfoundland orgy look like? Don't ask me. I might ask a lot of cod.

No, I don't know, man. I'd say just like probably just like standard group sex, except everyone knows each other so more uncomfortable. And a slightly higher risk of being related to someone's bit so you're touching. That's true.

Okay. I've never been in an orgy in any province. So I'm not, I'm out of my depth again. It's time to step your game up.

Yeah. Well, sorry. You're all drunk on screech also. I don't touch that.

Yeah. I feel like no one in Newfoundland does. We don't. It's like no one in Australia drinks fosters.

It's like kind of the same. Yeah. Well, we do it. I'm not going to go to the screech in ceremony where you kiss a cod and then you take a shot of screech.

It's the only time I see people drink screech. So I think it's like 80% of screech. I feel as though at a new fee orgy there'd be a lot of screeching. I think you're having a big.

I had a buddy in university that used to trick screech. Yeah. Like I think there's a bottle of it. You can buy it like the BC liquor store and it's pretty cheap and he I don't, he was from Colorado.

So I don't know where his like first screech, but I think he had been like screeched in and was like, Oh, this is pretty good. Yeah. It's like, I think most people hate it. Isn't it supposed to be like swill like just disgusting liquor.

I think it's pretty bad. Yeah. It's tough. It's way on and it is to our American listeners.

Yeah, it's tough rum. Yeah. It's really bad. Have you had it?

I think so. I had a friend come over from, oh, actually, no, I just had some shitty rum from like no discoshe or something. I've never drank. I don't think I've ever had it before.

I don't know if anyone knows that, but I don't drink. But okay, here's a funny story though. When we were in Newfoundland, when I went out there for the first time, they're like, Oh, you got to get screeched in because it's your first time in Newfoundland. And I was like, Oh, but I don't drink.

And I was like, Oh, they do one for non-drinkers. You just do kiss the cod and then you get a shot of iced tea. But they don't give you the certificate. Really?

Yeah, I guess it's like whatever the most famous bar is that you get it done at. Christian's for sure. There you go. Christian's for sure.

Yeah, you get a certificate after that. I was screeched in on May, whatever, 2016. Yeah, they're like, you can do it, but they won't give you a kiss of fucking fish and drink a thimble of iced tea for nothing. No.

You didn't get a certificate that just said I drank iced tea at a bar. Yeah, exactly. We had to get the kids menu and just write that on. Yeah, that's funny.

The province is messed up, bro. There's like a maze on the back and one corner. It's like a parallips, any other corner. It's like a cod.

It works with the cod. That's good. It's good for kids. I feel like that was dreamed up by not someone who doesn't drink alcohol, but just someone who really wanted to kiss the fish really.

Yeah. I can't go mad. They're like, all right, we need a ceremony for people who come in. Like, well, we'll give them some of our most famous alcohol and we'll give them some Newfoundland words to repeat and then great.

And then there's like one pervy guy in the corner and he's like, Hey, I have an idea. I've been trying something out that I think would really squeeze nicely into this little ceremony. This is Bertha. This is Bertha.

I like that his cod had a name. He's just petting the cod in the corner. She's not kissing fish. That was quite strange.

I hate all of this. I liked it for a while and then I got really out of it at the end. Well, those are the people who helped the show monetically this week. Thank you.

But if you don't want to spend money, you can also head on over to the iTunes store and leave a review in a segment that we call review review. The segment that we said we weren't going to do. Whoops. We're committed now.

Are you playing? Two Marion's and Jessica comes up. Bye, Sarge. This is awesome.

You worst episode ever. This week's review is entitled Justin is a moron by John Cullen. 9.2 stars. If you tell Justin before the podcast that we're not going to do review this week, he will still do it anyway.

Minus 9.2 stars. I'm sorry. Ostensibly a review by Arters Urbay. Oh, great.

Great Latvian goaltender. Who says my favorite Vancouver based sports podcast that's not really a sports podcast hosted by two likable idiots and one buffoon. Real good. Five stars.

Who's the buffoon? I feel like that's what he wants to get us to do. I'm more upset about the Vancouver based sports podcast part of it because I feel like there's only one other. That's a one area qualified.

I feel like there's two other sports podcasts that I know of Vancouver and I don't like either one of them. So radio shows that account is podcast also kind of sort of. Those are radio shows. Yeah, I guess so.

I don't even know what you're referring to. I don't know. But they don't live here. It's a curtain blog.

It's broffin and halford and they're on 1040. I listened to it as a podcast. Anyways. Oh, but there's a watch for it.

They still talk about the Canucks. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah.

And other things. Regardless, I feel like this is a devious Captain America Civil War style plan to drive a wedge between us to make us argue who are the likable idiots. We're all the buffoon. Hashtag.

We are all the buffoon. Yeah. I think Justin's a buffoon. Yeah, probably.

Yeah, you think you seem like a bit more like idiots for sure. I think you seem like a bit more of a buffoon. Is buffoon like a bad thing to be? Well, idiots are bad things.

Yeah, I guess. But that was qualified with likable at the very least. But buffoon is inherently likable. Is it?

Yeah. It's like an aloof. Yeah, it's like, oh, yeah, there's Justin tripping over his own shoelaces again. What a buffoon.

I don't do that though. No, but like proverbial metaphorically speaking, like you just tripped over your shoelaces right now by us even doing review review. The metaphorical buffoon. Yeah, metaphorical buffoon.

I don't know. I mean, I could also be the buffoon. We were talking about this earlier because I feel like I'm the only one who gets like active negative feedback. Like, oh, I like, you know, we've had feedback where people like, oh, I like Stefan and John more than Justin or I rate him.

I rate them more highly. But you've also never received anything like, well, that Justin has got to go. I hate him. Whereas I have actually received feedback where people like, well, it'd be great if John wasn't on the podcast or.

Oh, no. I had the guy who said he hated my Twitter stuff. Yeah, that was fun. Oh, yeah.

That's really bad that happened last week. That was a great deal. But that was really stupid because that's just, I mean, that's just a hater though. I mean, you have like 65,000 followers.

Well, then I do the, what did I do? We made a segment like dedicated to that. Yeah. And it was great.

Oh yeah, we read all his tweets. No, I think I read my most recent. Oh, you read all your stuff. Oh, yeah, that's right.

You read the list of your followers. Yeah, that was good. I'm thinking of a different guy. I'm thinking of the guy who told you that you know nothing about hockey last week.

Oh, that was good too. Oh, yeah. I kind of felt bad for telling that guy to eat shit. Yeah.

Well, that was great because we all told him to eat shit. I know, but then after like the way he replied, I guess this is my hockey Twitter account, which is like really stupid and it's called hockey dipshit and it's like, I don't know what you're expecting from it. It's called hockey dipshit. Yeah.

You know, like, you know, nothing about hockey. Like, did you come here for like level headed like, yeah, it takes like what the fuck is wrong? Well, he got really mad at the whole like, eat shit thing. Yeah, he really is really.

Oh, you don't you don't you. Oh, that's your level of discourse is to tell me to eat shit. Yeah, grow up. Keep them on the state of the discourse.

Yeah. Do you think that we've ever had anyone like stop listening to our podcast? Like after we talk shit about the podcast? We never know.

I know. I feel like, well, see, yeah, I don't listen to this. No, he doesn't know he doesn't know he doesn't. Or I'm guessing he doesn't.

But I would feel like maybe considering he thought you were a dummy account of mine. Yeah, that's what you thought you guys were the same person. I think maybe, no, because like maybe, well, we all know the hockey dip should account as more followers than Justin's account. So if it was his, we would just shut down his own account.

But I think that I want someone to stop listening to it and give us the like, I'm unfollowing you like thing like that's what I did when people are like, unfollowed. Yeah, you didn't have to announce it. I don't care. That was my problem with that guy in the first place.

Like how can you tell me to eat shit? It's like, well, you started by being like, you're dumbass and I'm unfollowing you. Oh, so yeah. What kind of discourse were you looking for?

You got upset though, because I told him to eat shit and then kind of explain myself. Like, well, still, you didn't have to say each shit. And I could just picture him kind of just like frowning at his computer. And then everyone else started telling me to eat shit.

I love telling people to eat shit. Well, it's so succinct. It's too words. And if I'm at that root, you can provide your own shit.

You don't have to leave your home. I think of all the insults. I have a problem with people telling you if they unfollowed them. Like I don't have an issue of people unfollowing me physically, but like just disappear into the internet and I'll just assume that you were like one of those Russian sex robots.

That's kind of knocked up. Have you had that? Have you had someone be like unfollowed to you? You know what?

I'm just thinking I'm putting myself in your shoes. Well, someone unfollowed me once because I made a call and mine joke. So I guess that sort of deserved. Yeah, like that I can see.

Or I used to get the like, now I have my own account for curling. But like I used to just tweet about curling and then sometimes like if I would not necessarily, I would never live tweet like a curling game. But like if the Briar final was on, I might have like three or four tweets about it and I would lose like eight followers. Well, there's an app that lets you know as soon as certain people unfollow you.

Right. Which is like two hands. No, I don't have that. But I unfollowed some guy and like within 10 seconds he's like, oh, you don't follow me.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then when you're saying they unfollowed you is like starting an argument with someone because or confronting them about unfollowing you.

It's like, I don't care. I was gonna win them back for sure. Yeah. Like I really was listening to someone you know like someone you know and realize like, oh, why'd you unfollow me?

And you're like, I don't who cares. It's social media. It doesn't mean anything. Maybe they just don't like your tweets.

Actually, the funniest unfollowing I ever had was at the roast of myself. Kevin Banner unfollowed me on Instagram to start his set. I was like, you're taking too many pictures of your own face and I wanted to unfollow you while you could see it. So he unfollowed me to start the roast.

He has since refollowed me. Yeah. So it's just part of an elaborate gag. Well, it was an elaborate gag that lasted for like two years.

And then he refollowed me. Very elaborate. Yeah. Yeah.

He's probably a future guest on this program. Very funny man. Probably. Probably.

Should we talk about some crazy shit has gone down. Yeah, the playoffs continue to ramp up. And last night I guess was the game one of the Toronto Raptors versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. And we use the term game loosely.

Yes. And they lose by like 40 points. 30 something. 31 I want to say or 32.

It was a lot. I mean, I think it was a lot of people who were like, oh, I'm not going to be expected. Oh, yeah. They knew that I think they knew going in.

They didn't really have a shot, especially the JV out. I mean, that's just they're playing LeBron in the post. Yeah. And just like that whole series with Miami was like the biggest turtle race in NBA play off history.

Oh, just awful. It was like that South Park little league episode where every team is purposefully trying to lose so they don't have to advance in the playoffs. That's almost what it seems like at times because like even the play was nonsensical. It'd be like, oh, Lowry and Durozen are back the next game.

Lowry and Durozen have combined for 12 points. They're win loss record. It was exactly the same in second round like the order of it. Yeah, because they've never they've never followed up a loss with another loss in the whole playoffs.

Every time they've lost, they've won the next game, which is a good way to win series. I think they're winless all time when they're leading a series. Yeah, something crazy like that. Where they've never won a game one.

I know that for sure. And John, you were right. It was 31 points. But it'll probably be worse than that as the series.

It's possible. I mean, it just depends on if they decide to fold their tent or not. Yeah, but I mean Cleveland's only played nine games and the Raptors have played four 15. So that doesn't help either.

This is kind of what we talked about last week when we were talking about Game 7 of San Jose and Nashville. It's like if you're Nashville and you don't advance the next round, you still have to be really happy with what you were able to do, considering you've never done that before in franchise history. And knowing that they probably would have lost a St. Louis anyway.

A qualified victory, basically. Yeah. And I feel like Toronto will probably just go wild if they can even win one single game. Oh, yeah.

I think so. Even just go to overtime, like have a close game. It's already a win that they're there at all. Yeah.

Yeah, I agree. People still look very upset about it though. Yeah, I think like I think that's part of sports. Unfortunately, there are also morons that watch it.

And so they they have these expectations that don't make sense. And yeah, they're stupid. There's a lot of stupid morons. It's like Paul Allen in the last round.

Oh, my God. That was pretty funny though. The Portland Trailblazer is Paul Allen, Microsoft, Bigwig, basically. So, you know, he's going up against the Golden State Warriors.
