Ladies and gentlemen, hello and welcome to Episode No. 48, a real good show of America's Best Worst Canadian Sports Podcast, an episode that promises to get traded to Calgary before it can ever amount to anything here in Vancouver and we'll finish the season on their top line. full of good feelings already about the state of local hockey here on episode 48 Justin Morris at with you on Real Good Show and with me as always is Evan Heck.
John Cullen. Sorry, were you going to say something? No, you ahead. Well I was just going to say there's a story in the news I'm sure all aware of it that the gorilla in Cincinnati was shot by a zookeeper because there was a kid in the cage and We're all adults here.
I think I know people are tuning in maybe talking here some jokes about that and that's not we're all about You're a really show. No, we don't think it's really nothing funny about like we're living shot by a zookeeper I agree. We're all vegans here on Real Good Show. Yeah, but I mean on on the other hand It's pretty funny like on many levels.
I thought you were gonna say that we should just not do the show tonight out of like Reveret respect for the boy for the boy. Yeah, the boy. Yeah, the boy who lived the boy's fine. He's fine Are you talking to your girl?
Oh boy? You know we sort of everything should just shut down for a week So the boy can recover and everything is exactly as he remembered it when he's better again He's four years old. He has no idea what the fuck happened. Oh man.
You might remember. That's a bad way to start your life Well, that's he's probably something you bring up on like within the first three dates He's ready to be age where that's his first memory by the way. I'm gorilla boy. Yeah, exactly remember Do you remember like 30 years ago when there was a gorilla got shot in a bunch of people?
He's 34 He's still going on dates. Yeah, that's what I was saying like his life's not gonna go good Like I say sorry. He's kind of starting off in the wrong place. I'm saying exactly live They should have shot him to be a Because it's not it's all gonna be downhill from here Kids are gonna call him gorilla boy in elementary school and all that and in high school He's gonna dress like a gorilla to try and get ahead of the people making fun of them That's gonna be a bad fire.
I can already tell you that's gonna be bad We had a kid in my high school that although to be fair It was one of the best Halloween costumes ever saw but he was very short like in high school He might have even been like sub five feet like in like grade 11 and one year He dressed as an umpalupa but like from the original jelly in the chocolate factory movie with it sort of like orangey Yeah, and he didn't dress as deep Roy in the Tim Burton remake. No, no exactly No, he had it he did it real and it was it was amazing like it was it looked perfect But also you kept like every call him no balloon back. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I mean Yeah, I'm racing but yeah, I feel like gorilla boy.
It won't have the same people just like yeah You're still a gorilla. Well, there's no real like Halloween costs to be where either You're saying you guys is a gorilla, but does he want to like relive that well? Maybe not but I'm just saying that might be his like strategy to be like oh people stop calling you that if I just People be like, oh, he's cool with it now. He's like a bracing just like a mr.
Burns style like gorilla chest vest Yeah, okay Yeah, you could pull that off But was that even a but I thought that was like the puppies were supposed to be the best even though it kind of look like a gorilla No, no the puppies were gonna be turned into Yeah, be my best. No, it's my best made from real girl. It's my best. Oh my best.
Oh, yeah I was real girl. Okay. That's right. Hey loafers that were former gophers.
Yeah, that's right. See my sweater. There's no better an authentic I reset her there you go. That's right.
That's a good song. Yeah, it is right. So I'm not up there better I'm looking forward to the live action Beauty on the beast. I'm not gonna lie.
I'll put that at the right Yeah, oh absolutely. I saw a side of the teaser with the teaser for the original cartoon and it was like shot for shot identical remake Basically, oh really? Oh, that's cool. Yeah, I like that even better.
I didn't really know it was very short teaser Yeah, you get to see Hermione's face for like a second, but she's like that's like she sees the beast Yeah, she's gonna be great. Yeah, they should be a shot the beast right. That's her name Should have thrown the beast in that pit shot the beast Okay, like they got time that movie's not coming out for a year. They can reach in that would be maybe this is a viral marketing campaign for Beauty and The Beast It's like, you know, you kind of rethink what you think about gorillas when you see a kid fucking Mercked by a zookeeper, right?
Yeah, well, this animal is actually quite noble This was actually to mark the ten-year anniversary of Peter Jackson's King Kong. No, it makes sense It was like how the Ikea monkey was a was a promo vehicle for Dunson checks in five and for Ikea Yeah, maybe I can't who knows yeah, but that's my favorite thing about the whole gorilla things people were like This is like a noble beautiful animal and it's like whipping this kid around like a chain. Yeah, like beautiful That's like it's badass. I don't know.
I wouldn't call that noble. Well, I don't I guess it depends on your definition of noble I mean you definitely know whipping a kid around like a chain. Well, I don't know I mean nobles in the old days were very vicious they own lots of land and they did not treat their peasants well They're talking about like the noun. Yes, talking about it the gorilla adjective.
Okay, I'm like gorilla Every time you guys see like a picture. No, it's the one where you checks in yeah to the hotel Yeah, Jason Alexander's in the in it is now kind of like the owner of the hotel with a man Yeah, something like that kid with a skateboard. Yeah, I don't remember the whole premise also wasn't there a movie There was a movie about a sign language in gorilla to wasn't there was that Ed with that was a baseball girl That was a baseball monkey actually. Yeah, it's gonna say a good joke We've been after the girl got shot if you keep it was like Dunston checks out That would have been awesome.
That would be the very McVane. Yeah, he probably was like crying Yeah, I'm actually like saying anything. Yeah, it's probably crying because he was like fuck it Yes, I went with this bit rate 90s shit movie we need to go check out the IMD message board for Dunston checks in Do we do we really definitely do of course we do but also I still want to figure out what was this there was definitely one of us Like a sign-linguaging gorilla. Well, there's MVP and no there was a movie because my sister liked it It was like an emotional thing.
There was like sort of a King Kong esque movie. I think like mighty Joe. Yeah, I'm always at it No, that's the one with Brad Pitt Mighty Joe has Brad Pitt in it. Yep.
Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure yeah I always confuse that with maybe not I was confused that no, yeah, why do you Joe black or what's a Joe black? I say things mighty Joe young. Yeah, where you know that movie where he's hit by the car.
Oh my god He's Charlize Theron, right? See I always confuse my Joe young meet Joe black and waking that divine Okay, they all came around the same time. They'll name in like is the middle word. Yeah, and I think meet wait What was the what's mighty meet waking might be like an upside down?
I guess so yeah, but you know what I mean like those and they all came out kind of within like a year or two of Yeah, this is the the sign language one is born to be wild. I've never heard of this. I think yeah, it's definitely this one My sister loved this thing when your best friend is a 400 pound gorilla. Where do you go to set her free anywhere?
She likes tell you are you don't tag the Cincinnati Zoo? And I know what people are thinking of I don't do you guys heard but they murdered a gorilla there I know it's a little monkey trouble. That was a club man that 90s are a big time for monkeys and movies time to bring it back They're probably thinking of themselves wait a second isn't this a sports podcast and the answer is ostensibly yes But even the best of these sports talkers out there cannot resist talking about this little monkey episode It wasn't little a monkey was shot. Well a gorilla.
Yeah, it was a big gorilla. It was not a little monkey He got like pumped as well But my friend chesa went on a quite a monkey rant about the gorilla That was like it with the exact same tonage that he would use to describe like the Mets being on a losing streak or whatever I feel like ever since you corrected my pronunciation of Francesa You're just trying to say it as many like in as many consecutive episodes as well I just saw my friend chesa talking about He was talking about the gorilla getting shot I think today I saw video of it like two hours ago and he's like and you're gonna tell me that if it's your kid in the pen You're gonna be mad but the gorilla got shot. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?
It's like the same way he'd be like you think these are tough teams tough teams Double-o 500 you couldn't be I'm pretty sure he just says are you kidding me about everything? I don't know in my limited exposure to him. I think that's fairly accurate. Yeah He doesn't like rant about gorillas all the time.
Yeah, this is like a first first But he's very upset that anyone would be like why did they kill the gorilla? That's a shame which it is a shame Why did they kill it was reading a thing because people were like why didn't they just tranquilize it But apparently that would just like piss the gorilla off. Oh really? Which is like it's not like the opposite of what a tranquilizer should do like they don't have a strong enough tranquilizer If video games have taught me anything it's not like a tranquilizer works instantly.
Yeah, apparently it's not up to you Yeah, exactly so apparently that's not the case because they were worried that it was gonna go get a pissed-on Start fucking smashing the kid against a wall or you know a rock or whatever right? Yeah, or it would get all like staggered and like fall on the child or fall face first and drown Yeah, so then they just like shot it because I mean if it fell face first into the water you couldn't go pick it up, right? Well, I don't know. I mean maybe it could drown pretty like you know it, right?
Yeah, okay Here's the IMD message board for Dunstan checks in this is the possibly the worst post we've ever seen the title is Dunstones checked in by dr. Gonzo LLB I work with a bloke called Dunstone and every morning when he comes into work we say oh Dunstones checked in and Then someone replied saying really oh wow laughing and they replied nine years later with the really oh wow Oh, it was nine years later. That makes so much better. Yeah.
He was waiting a decade for someone to call him on his bluff Yeah, that's not me. That's not my dad. Wow. Oh, yeah This is good a lot of people get really mad about this like a lot of people are shitting on like fade down away and stuff in this was Fade on away in it.
Yeah, and Rupert Everett. Okay. Oh That doesn't die. Yeah, that's in the monkey that played Dunston died someone came on the message board in 2011 to report Someone in 2011 row when are we gonna get the sequel and considering Dunston is dead?
Well wait go go back My favorite is the post right before okay, so it's the post right before recipes Dunston Dunston has died is what other mischief could Dunston get into? Not mine That's completely down. Well, I think that this is got oh, this is very real. This is very real to our current Just the subject we haven't read it yet, but the subject is in real life the monkey would tear your face off By internet explorer I'm going to view the the actual post I don't think you could do just Dunston checks in again at this point because like at this stage in the game We've seen monkeys and apes do wilder stuff than that like we've had most vertical primate We've had MVP to where for somehow the primate wasn't on a hockey team like yeah, but there's mxP Which is most extreme.
Yeah, of course. Well, so wait, but I thought he was skateboarding most vertical Is he rollerblading that I think he's a boy to most extreme just other extreme. Oh look it up MVP BMX bikes Maybe yeah, I hate to report no boarding the post wasn't very good. He just said in real life the monkey would tear your face off Yeah, get a monkey kids That was MVP Better search that you just search the word MVP just assuming that that was gonna be most 3.8 out of 10 on IMDB okay, so most valuable primate most vertical primate was a Was there no most extreme was hockey most vertical no Bob Bernquist is in it and then most extreme primate most valuable primate is hockey.
Yeah Most most valuable or sorry most I don't think there's a Wikipedia page. Oh, I see there's not there's not hold on most extreme primate Yeah So he's so he's skateboarded. He's no boarded and played hockey somehow the most extreme is 71% There's also a recent movie about a monkey who is like in a tag team match at WrestleMania or something like that I don't know man all these monkey movies. I don't get it I'm just saying that we've seen monkeys do more impressive things than check into a hotel at this point Oh definitely like the market for a monkey in a hotel has passed I don't even remember what was it like was he just living in the hotel?
Let me see here. Oh God, that's too much someone really what's a really long time summary six percent Under is the concierge of the elegant majestic hotel with inspectors do for a surprise visit the majestic owner miss do brow Fade on away puts extra pressure on Robert to keep the establishment running flawlessly Robert hoping to be rewarded with some time off Of work to relax with his sons vows to put the utmost care into his duties a task that's complicated by one guests unruly Light-fingered orangutan Dunstens the plot the plot is a guest brings an orangutan to a hotel. Yeah, that's fucking great. The monkey wrestling movie is actually a Jack Russell terrier wrestling movie.
It's called Russell Matt miss Oh, go with Russell mania because they would have been super So it's called Russell madness and it also stars the monkey who's like the monkey who's in everything that has a monkey like Well not done because he did yeah, but like you know, you know, I'm the famous actor the original airbud dog died of lung cancer No, I'm serious actually look it up. Can someone confirm. I don't make a computer funny. I'm not sure okay Well, anyway, it's true.
Here's like a pack of days Russell madness when a man inherits his grandfather's arena He and his family try to restore the family wrestling business with the help of a talking monkey and their star attraction A wrestling dog. I think the talking monkey would be the star attraction I feel like even wrestling if the monkey can talk like couldn't he just do like stand up or something I feel so we need to watch this movie which movie Russell mad. Oh fuck. Yeah, we got it What was the thing you're saying?
Oh, did the dog from air bud dive lung cancer? Okay air bad dog death Yeah, cancer auto field there. I'm pretty sure died in his sleep due to complications from cancer at the time of his death Buddy was oh, you please comment to comment in full house Wow This is the most famous dog of all time And he was found as a stray dog Wow This is a real like rags to riches story But he was found by Kevin to see so as a stray dog in the Sierra Nevada mountains in the summer of 1989 Kevin adopted the disheveled golden retriever and brought him home to San Diego where he trained him in the sports of basketball Chess baseball football soccer and hockey. Okay chess.
Let's get serious here for a minute his first appearance is on America's funny His home videos he then game further famed dunking baskets on David Letterman's stupid pet tricks segment of the late show with David Letterman He was on full house using the film fluke and then he was an air bud and he was nominated for a kid's choice award in 1998 Oh, it wasn't lung cancer. No, it was sarcoma. So no veal cell sarcoma. That's not Terry Fox Even even better.
It's not really for Russell. That is Jesus Listen, okay, a dog is dying a terrier named Russell is adopted by a family that runs a pro wrestling arena with help from a savvy monkey Russell becomes an amazing wrestler and rockets to the top of the sport. Is this an actual Hollywood film? Yes, I'm a student director DVD.
Yeah, I don't know maybe I have no idea if it had a theatrical run But I like the idea that the monkey is the manager. It's like a wrestling manager like the monkey is Paul Heyman and hopefully The dog we've been talking about monkey Twine that dog is like rock Lesnar just never speaks at any point. It just stands in the ring What a monkey is like ladies and gentlemen my client Russell is going to destroy you But that's weird that they own a wrestling arena like you think you could do more things within arena. Yeah, that's not that's not something that exists Yeah, I feel like maybe the von Eric's in Texas the sportatorium or whatever I feel like that's like the last like wrestling specific arena I guess full sale is kind of yeah Well, that's also like I don't even think that's like an arena that's like a college.
Yeah, it's like a training So they just sell the arena. It's that a university. Yeah, I mean a lot more sense and involving like a dog and talking monkey No, this is more fun. Yeah, so wait, you didn't this is a Hollywood like a real movie.
Yeah, who's who's the top billing? It stars John Ratzenberg Okay, wow or John Ratzenberger rather Yeah, and Fred Willard is also in it is John isn't Fred Willard in John I was the slinky dog from Toy Story Former tag team partner of them is John Morrison is nice when it probably has a wrestler who gets beaten by the dog I heard he's priming for a WWE return really well But yes Fred Willard John Ratzenberger Wow, it's so it is sort of like a real movie which is almost insane when you think of the number of talented people that have written scripts that have never gotten made And this one seems like it was written I was by a you say I'm just talking about multiple other people again Yeah, no your script was like whatever. I mean, I'm just gonna rip off a band aid for you Stefan Okay, everybody has a henchman workplace comedy. So we've all written one.
Yeah, everyone's everyone's so That was still the funniest that was one of the funniest shade throwing tweets of all time. That was really weird. Yeah, it was so weird Not quite over it. Oh Writer for Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a little strange.
It was really strange kind of like out of the blue out of the blue super sub-tweety Oh, like that was like the sub-tweet. Yeah, it was so yeah, man Yeah, I guess he was just mad that you got a write up on a website like you know, it was before that I think oh really It's probably mad that you have friends Honestly, if you look at his profile picture, I don't remember his name, but it was like this guy makes sense Well, he's a sub-tweeter, right? I never sub-tweet I sub-tweet often and when I say sub-tweet I mean sandwiches I was just a joke that's in the Russell mania script. I was just giving you a sample joke from what would be in that That's how you look up the trailer for that actually.
Yeah, that'd be good. Can we hear some of that? I wonder if they have an IMDB message board. What's it called again Russell?
What's it called a Russell mania Russell madness? It does have an IMDB mess. Oh, yeah, Russell madness. Oh my god, and they really copy it looks like it looks Have you seen the cover?
Yes the strongest tag team is family is that the tag? They are blatantly ripping Russell made a logo. I'm honestly surprised. I didn't get super surprised that Vince McMahon didn't like do this himself All right, let's like take a listen to some of the trailer I loved the IMB message board for this movie only has six posts on it I've never seen anything like this in my life only one of them has a reply From airbuds That is until I met the for all's it was the day How would you like to be a wrestler?
That was the monkey who I Can the dog talk to you? I think the dog can also speak and the dog won that wrestling match by dropping a banana peel in the ring But the heel slipped I wonder if my buddy Ryan worked on this because he worked on the most recent airbud production Which is like monkey business or monkey and around or something? Well, look into that in a moment. Yeah, I can tell us It means Where he is the newest YouTube sensation It's okay I'll turn it on my computer so Stefan and I can watch this also IMB message board for Russell madness netflix is the title of the post by Garcia Matthew R Netflix estimated this as five stars for me.
They were wrong very wrong. I think I'm actually Also like can we like just save that little clip? It's like a soundboard thing. I'm just play every so often There's no It's okay Ross if you cheated you actually think this dog belongs to you Russell will do battle with the hammer in a rematch If he wins This is insane, we've got to watch this We've got to watch this sometime as an episode of this show.
That's the worst thing I've ever seen that That's hilarious. Oh my god. That's too. Okay.
My buddy Ryan says no they wrapped that right before I started I was on monkey up and pop star pop star. Yeah, it's about a puppy that gets into porn is it no? No, I don't know that'd be freaking great. That'd be hilarious.
I wonder how much money this way We found the name of our episode Russell mad. I was just a dead gorilla Yeah, we're that with help from its siblings a talking monkey goes on the run from a greedy businessman That is the tagline for monkey up that sounds like it could be the tagline for Russell mania as well or Russell mad Like all those I like out like I'm assuming John Morrison got the win over Russell It's a jack Russell Terry Okay, it's just because he cheated we get to have How many bodies lambda dogs This is sports, right? We hate movies podcast actually review. Oh, yeah, I should give that a listen man.
I enjoy their show Um so funny It's uh it doesn't appear that there's any like I can't find any box office numbers. Oh, here we go straight to dvd Oh, it made 43,000 at the international box office, but it was straight to dvd where it made 1.1 million That's still that's a lot of money for it. It's more money that I should have ever made but I also like to have a yelled Russell mania Well, that could be called a movie that according to the imdb thing his wrestling name is Russell maniac. Okay, so I guess that's why they just That felt like okay.
We can't oh and there's the monkey coach's name is hunk, which is not at all close to hulk And the monkey is voiced by will sasso. Yeah, really? Yeah, why wouldn't it be? So this has been a raulkin start to the show so I'm asking ryan to send us like any trivia about working all of our uh, yeah, all of our listeners have left 25 minute chunk.
Yeah, we just followed up our most downloaded episode of all time talking about every movie with a monkey and it ever made But we didn't start with the originals clinny's do it had a monkey in the movies with him any which way you can and any Which way but loose there you go and that was like I think kind of the first right first sort of monkey in the first monkey in a movie Not ever obviously king-com. What was the first title any which way you can that's the sequel I said them in the wrong way Okay, any which way you can that's what they said to the zookeeper Any which way you can Use the tranquilizer any which way you can That's good stuff. It is it is What you may have noticed is that there was no advertisement in the first 15 minutes Yeah, so this is what happens instead someone please sponsor this podcast We're gonna post a picture on the blog I was showing the guys before the show the white caps got drawn in a champions league group with the Trinidad and Tobago champions fc central and uh, they don't have a sponsor so they use the champions league draw to Demonstrate that by having their player pose with a blank jersey that says your logo here and blank jersey is being probably overly Jersey it was a t-shirt like it was a white t-shirt with a team logo on it and then a big thing on the front That's that your logo here. So you just came from a beer solona game.
I did. Yeah Okay, and would you say that the jersey that you are currently wearing is higher quality than the your logo here? Yes, no question. Yeah, and uh, yeah, so unless there is an obscure company in Trinidad Tobago called your logo here in a blank box I'm guessing that they're looking for sponsorship.
Just like we should get sponsored by airbud studios Yeah, they have a studio in Vancouver. Yeah. Yeah, they did the football one at my high school really We should Ryan did some trivia they should do a movie where the dog is a podcaster and we'll just call it dog cast Paw de cast. Yeah, it's out of the mind.
Yeah, this is a reverse the Kimba slicing Ryan says on air bud. Oh, that's even podcast. Yeah air pod Ryan says they originally wanted to call it Russell mania confirmed And even when as far as commissioning a song but changed in a must-made of fear and losses Wow, so that really put the Jonas brothers The song was called Russell mania. I'm gonna ask him what was the song like and if you can get us a copy of it I The dives this week are deep That's a good start to the episode.

I'm playing the Nakamura Yeah, like you can already feel this and you're in your in the cockles of your heart Yeah, and it's like a crazy charismatic Japanese guy comes out to this We played it on the show before yeah, we have outro music to an episode. Yeah Some trans-iberian orchestra shit right here. Let's go to Siberia motherfuckers mother fuck up mother fuck up It needs lyrics by now mother fucker mother fucker mother fucker. Did you write the recomari?
Yeah lyrics to yeah? The best part of that was his entrance song reference to his like internet status like he's an internet sensation As an internet sensation really Well, we've talked about sports No I don't think that's right song. I'm just singing words. I turn John's mic off Oh easy now Well, we could do the clip of the week.
Yeah, I guess we could yeah Then again, we talked about segway expert last week you drove it off quips. That's true. Yeah segway owner I would assume he's an expert owner of segway. Yeah, you would think so.
Yeah, you have to think that was not necessarily because they act Well, he's on hockey team. I wouldn't call them. That's true. Did you see okay the so those of you that don't live in dankura They're back leanings are developers and they're currently building a building on to roger's arena Where they can explain where they can explain and I believe it's called acolyne 360 because I saw posters for it today and uh the slogan is Uh something like how would you feel if every day was game day terrible?
That's horrible Especially next to roger's yeah for a house like who no I this is my home I don't want it to feel like game day every day someday. I want home day That's legitimately my worst nightmare that every day. I'm just gonna have drunk screaming fans outside of my apartment It also feels like a concert though. Yeah, exactly Some days it feels like concert day some days it feels like Beyonce some days it feels like a preseason basketball game What's the uh, what's the building called?
Uh, I think it's called aquilini 360. I want to say they needed for how many years until the connects when I stand I do this thing where I know what it was but I want you to like set it up for me again It's I mean, you know, I'm not like next I think it was called aquilini 360 Okay. Yeah, but you don't have to set up. Yeah, oh sorry No, no, but I'm saying like I do this thing where like I knew what the building was called But I was like kind of subtly like john like what was the building?
Their next building is gonna be called aquilini 360 Yeah, I believe one is the next building. Okay. Why is it called aquilini one? Because the previous one was called 360.
Oh, because they want oh going by the logic by Xbox. Oh, oh Oh, I thought you're saying because then the connection went a cup in one. No, no, no I was making video games like a name it after their Xbox. Yeah, I'm gonna go with 361 Realistically, I think it's called that but I don't know I can't find anything online that uh That is that suggests it's called 360 I hope I hope they sell the team as soon as the building's done Because they're like I've heard people say that online and that's the the whole plan Yeah, because they're not really like planning long-term with the Canucks right now wouldn't you say?
Oh? Yeah, oh, sorry. It's gonna be called aquilini center. Oh, that's even worse.
Yes. So I guess that means they're gonna trade it Oh my god. That was great. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Uh speaking I don't know if we could follow up on that story a little bit. Uh, we talked of course about Jared McCann getting traded Wait wait, we're gonna do that on a sec. Oh my god So good.
No, this is such a good episode. This is my favorite one. Jared McCann got traded to the Florida Panthers for air good friends and guys we brought about that last week and uh... as what always happens uh...
one of players traded away perhaps surprisingly stories have trickled out since then about how gerry mccan was actually a piece of shit and it's a good thing we got rid of him as he has serious character flaws uh... what's surprising to me is that you and mccantyre went on the radio then denied that really yeah that is weird because you think he'd be like he is the shield going exactly it was weird one time i was on fire in the Canucks dressing room gerry mccan wouldn't piss on me to put it out get a big bucket of sand me said nah this is my shower i mean there have been rumors of a can being kind of a prick but he's a nineteen-year-old playing in a gel yeah who cares what do you expect for the house nineteen and i was said not a pro at least at university i had nothing going on and i was a prick when i was nineteen you know you know who's a huge prick patrick n is a huge prick yeah and he's one of three stanley cups probably has a tiny prick though well i might be well like what do you expect from people who like their whole lives have been told like how great they are and not just being told it but like life also confirms that when it drafted in the first round but then spending spent in the head and make the nhl before your twenty years old he's nineteen right and the second to the same reason is basically like the party it's like a really really really hard so well i guess we'll wait it's kind of a dick is really a hockey but then also i feel like uh... sega now is like pretty well known as being like a pretty good character right like you know a lot of room i think that he's a part is yeah but my impression of the dollar stars is like they're really fun team but they are like the bro is broughie but like but sega and like he brought that girl who had the sign for sixteen birthday like he brought her back and like yeah but he didn't know she yeah she said i was trying i don't know i feel like he's kind of repaired his character a little bit maybe he still likes the cocaine but i know man i feel like if you're that hard of a party or you just can't lead the nhl and score no one can be that talented anymore like the league is just a good i think he works a lot does party a lot yeah but i don't think it's part of the office is i don't think he's part of the use of the only in the office is exactly like i think that's a thing the guys will go hard in the off-season but but it's cottage yeah oh yeah for sure mike richards cottage is still one of the best things i've ever seen i would love to go there i mean it's it lost a little bit of a fluster when i learned it was like a a run house for uh... for oxycodone rew yeah exactly and opium den on lake muskoka uh...
but the player who must coke uh... the player who came out and uh... said that mccain is a dick is on the day and he's like not even on the team yet i was like seven minutes in well this one i favorite things and you i think you see a lot more hockey especially seen based on this too but where a player who's not from canada u s goes back home and assumes that like we don't have a translate interviews at the end of the dislike talk so much shit in like sweetish russian yeah i'm not gonna figure this out and it's a fairly accurate as with jim bening like a friend of the gimbenings not gonna be a fair one saying he's probably right i mean to be fair when the words are translated it's the only guy in conox i couldn't get along and i'm a lonely star alone we started like a lonely star didn't mean lones are or like what's if it may be a lot of the way cooler uh... but but i don't know why i i'm a jury right you're gonna say yeah uh...
and pretty good sent out the c h l by the i owners do like character concerns which is amazing if you like get sent down because you have a bad attitude when you don't even speaking like i feel like that i really got a and you can't speak yeah that's impressive that kind of impressive almost i would want that on my team on he's a spectacular dickhead he just it crosses all language boundaries i don't get that feeling from trampkin from what if he's like a fun guy and he's he's got a tiny dog he's really big but uh... like last week we're talking about like i really hope that something comes out about i feel like we're talking about this after the episode was over like the stories will come out like you know always party all the time and i think he orchestrated the entire like rookies hanging out with justin beaver thing and then when the finance story came out and it's like always just big time in everyone and felt like he was too good for the place i really desperately wanted a story where like justin beaver is like oh yeah i got with those guys and like jake ritann was really nice but jared mccan just kept calling me son and it's a beaver like twenty two exactly exactly just big time in everybody i like it yeah well here's the exact coordinates even funnier mccan was the only guy in conox i couldn't get along sometimes he acted like he's the lonely star here this is the one from uh... borkowski's mom though on the mother's road trip when she was talking on the radio she was hilarious obviously we talked about that we played some for her clips but this is a quote about mccan which is every guy in the conox is the nicest guy oh my god except that little 19 year old what's his name so connect the dots i don't know beth borkowski predict this trade see now i think he is a dick because mac entire denied it and said he wasn't a dick yeah which means he is a dick right yeah i'm probably speaking but speaking of centers that the conox have traded in our clip of the week uh... we have a segway nice to be a week i like we said we hear from uh...
a player who of course is making the conox management look very embarrassed this week now that's like hard to do this post-season run we'll say given that you know he's like twenty points yeah uh... nikonino is the gentleman's name and you're gonna hear it quite a bit in this uh... hockey night punjabi commentary clip uh... it is our clip of the week kimin khanasamakir kakir khanasamakir khanasamakir khanasamakir khanasamakir Back well i think i speak for everyone and i say i'm watching the game in punjabi no no no it's actually the best to me it's like the most canadian thing imaginable it's all but like multaval Charges I'm like i think experienced exactly it's fantastic yeah and and you can tell that they are going out of their way to make like rhyming analogies like jokes during their call yeah on every single punjabi goal call i've ever heard i don't know what they're saying but i know that it rhymes And it's like phrased as like a couplet.
Yeah. So it's obviously like a joke and I'm impressed. Well, it's like the hockey equivalent of like the Mexican soccer announcers. Yeah, exactly.
Yell goal for like five minutes, right? Because we don't really have that in hockey. So I do that with that. I do that with that.
I brought it up. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. But they're great. And I think we mentioned this on the Facebook page, but I'm pretty sure we can say it is that the hockey and the Punjabi team is like the official announcing team of Real Digital.
And also for our Southern American listeners, Punjabi is a language that is native to India. It's an area of India. And that's the dialect. Speaking of Punjabi, I tell you guys that one of the customers.
I want to point out one more time. I want to point out. I just want to point out, just from the intonation and the beat of it, I can tell that what he says about the goal is like, if there's a rookie, you can't stand. You must trade Jared McCann.
Like that sort of thing. That's the rhyme, I think, for sure. You have to think too that Benino must be close to a Punjabi word would be my guess. Because he's just rolling so many times.
Here we go. How many times did he say? Come on, come on. You can't get Benino apart.
You can't get Benino apart. I'll go back to the beginning. Here we go. OK, let's count this.
Come on, come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
There you go. That's 10 Beninos in a row and then followed by Nick Benino. And then that's fantastic. With his voice cracking at the end.
Yeah. That's fantastic. So those guys are great. Like I know everything I talk about is hidden behind layers of irony and cynicism and everything.
But those guys are fantastic. Yeah, that's great. I love it. And of course, thank you to Mike Fail for posting that on Facebook group this week.
I think that, yeah, I just, I think too, like, pardon me, so much of like American media is all about like broadcasters can't be excited, you know, or like they have to be neutral and they have to be like, I know that broadcasters do get excited about big goals, but it never feels like that. Or not even like broadcasters. There's like this big like journalists can't like, especially sports journalists can't like convey emotion. Yeah, between neutral.
You can't have a favorite team. You can't have a, which is stupid. Or just like Bruce Arthur was like tweeting about the NBA playoffs. Toronto versus Cleveland.
The games in Cleveland still have like a strong showing from Raptors fans and like the place was buzzing. And he tweeted about that. And people were like, God, are you a journalist or a fan? It's like, what the fuck, man?
Like you can be a basketball game. Like this is not politics. Or when they cynically post about it where they'll be like, ooh, like, especially at the Olympics, like, there'll be a hockey game, Canada will be playing Slovenia or something. And then someone will inevitably sarcastically tweet like, whoo, the Slovenia announcers were pretty excited when they scored that goal.
No shit. Yeah, it's like, yeah, OK. What was 11? Nothing now?
It's 11 to one pretty big moment. It's like the greatest moment in their country. And like the Olympics, it doesn't even make sense. Because like, I can pretend that I'm not a fan of the Canucks.
Oh, I can too. Like when we talk about them every week. That's what the Olympics are great for. It's the only thing I've been able to cheer for.
But I can't pretend that I'm not Canadian. Like, who's that for? Yeah. Like, that's what I don't understand.
It's for a specific Canadian audience also. But here's what's funny. The people who get mad about that are also the people who are like, hey, stick to sports. OK, well, I'm sticking to sports.
No, don't stick that much. Pretty much. Stick less. People are just looking for something to be mad about all the time.
Oh, yeah. That's what we demonstrate that we do. We're not going to yell about things on this show. We've got mad about monkey movies.
I wouldn't say we got mad about it. We talked about it a lot. I mean, it's very possible we got mad in there. Well, mad isn't like we're mad for it.
That's true. We're crazy. We're crazy for monkey movies. I have mania.
Russell mania. You're a Russell mania. That's a dog, but you're a Russell mania. But I wanted to talk about sports for a little bit.
Before we do the mailbag and get out of here, which is like bandwagon meme has become a hot button issue in playoffs again this year. Hockey players are NBA players. Both. But especially NBA where people are like, yeah, you like the Golden State Warriors.
Tell me one thing about this player from their 1998 roster. It's like, he's probably not NBA anymore. Yeah. You got me.
Dad. I just don't understand like that level of revulsion to being pissed about someone liking a team that is fun to watch. Because I know that sometimes we forget as fans of losing teams that sports are supposed to be fun. Are they?
Yes. What? Yes. You tune into watch them.
No. Are you not? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But because that's what you want to do.
Are we talking about the same sports here? Watching something that is fun. And the Golden State Warriors. Sorry.
Sorry. OK. The sports that we get together to talk about every week. You know what's funny?
So you made your like, you made your Golden State 1998 joke. They actually had a lot of like very well-known players on that team. They had Muggsy Bogues, Eric Dampier, Anton Jamison, Don El Marshall. Tony Delk.
Tony Delk, John Starks. A Donald Foyle. And Sprey Well was on that team too. But he got traded.
Regardless. But yeah, I know what you're saying. Those were ugly jerseys too bad. Oh, brutal jerseys.
It was the guy like holding a lightning bolt or something? Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, come on, Justin.
You don't know who Bimbo Coles is. Come on. You can't recognize him from a photo. Yeah.
It's obviously Bimbo Coles. You fucks dick. Now I haven't seen this. So I can't say if it doesn't exist.
But I don't think anybody is out there being like, oh yeah, Golden State fans since day one. Like, no, they're a fun team to watch. And so people are watching. Well, they're too busy just having fun watching the team to be like, I've been a fan since the beginning.
Yeah. Yeah. I think like I was saying to Justin before we recorded, I get it on one level because they're especially like a franchise that was like the league. Like they were the joke of the league for years.
It's been like them and the Clippers have been like the joke of the league for like as long as I've been alive. And so I can sort of get it in that sense of like, you know, I've been around forever. My fandom hasn't wavered. I've been there through all the lean years.
So like, you know, kind of like fuck you for being like, oh, Golden State's my number two team now because they're good. I sort of get it because, you know, I've been a Leafs fan forever. I was saying to Justin, no one's going to jump on the Leafs fan wagon. So I don't have to worry about that.
You're either a Leafs fan or you hate them. There's no like, people are going to jump on. I'm telling you that as a kind of fan. If they go on a run at some point.
Yeah. In like the next two decades, they are going to be like, Canada's team as a shot at the club. I do feel like they're going to be really fun to watch. So I could see people.
And I think we were saying this before, like it's a lot better than the Leafs are fun to watch. Yeah, true. They're being forced on a throw to me. Yeah, true.
Well, that's the thing is that's how you become a fan of a team. Anyways, you have access to seeing their games. They're good. Yeah.
Like if you're going to be a baseball fan in Vancouver, you're either going to cheer for the Mariners or the Blue Jays. Not just because of regionalism, but that's because they're the only teams that are on TV. And the Mariners aren't even on TV that often. Yeah.
Like if you're good, though, they were on Sports have Pacific all the time. Right. Yeah. So there you go.
So if they got good again, then you would definitely see them be on TV that Sportsnet would try and pick up their rights or whatever. But yeah, so I just think it's like I can sort of understand it. But at the same time to actively be like, well, you don't deserve to cheer for this team. Or you don't deserve it's like that to me is like, who cares?
Well, you can enjoy it. Just enjoy it for you. If you've been a long suffering fan of the team. And this is like, a purelation that nothing can compare to.
Guess what? You still get to feel that. Like no one is taking it away from me. And in your case, I enjoy this also.
And in your case, it's going to be even bigger, because you're going to have been there from the beginning. I know when the Leafs, if they ever make the Stanley Cup final, I'll be on the first plane back to Toronto. I'll be staying there the whole time they're in the Stanley Cup final. Just be soaking it in like because I've been there from the beginning.
And that's just the thing that you do. I'm not going to be like, oh, someone that likes the Canucks is saying the Leafs are their second team. OK, I don't have time for you. I'm too busy doing whatever it is I'm doing.
But I don't think it's weird. I just don't think that people tune into watch sports just for the sake of watching sports. Like every single round of the NHL playoff so far, right on this very show, I have pledged allegiance to a new team every time. Pittsburgh now because they all have been knocked out now because of Kyle Wellwood saying that Joe Thornton is the nicest guy ever.
You're going to start up. I am joining you on team six. I am here for the record. Fuck you.
I've been a shark fan from the beginning son of a bitch. From the beginning of this one. Exactly. But like I've been invested six weeks more than you.
If you're going to watch it, it's because you want some sort of rooting interest. Oh, 100% sports is drama. And to feel the drama, you need to want one result instead of the other. 100%.
So why do you think sports betting is like the biggest industry in the world? It's what allows you to create fandom where fandom doesn't exist. Yeah. Well, if this team wins, I'm going to win $5,000.
And if they lose, I'm going to lose $2,000. OK, great. Now I have someone to cheer for. Exactly.
That's what I have. People always ask me what my favorite football team is. And I always say my fantasy football team. That's my favorite.
Yeah. It makes sense. Because that's pretty much what's gotten me into football. So I agree with you.
I think sports are better when you have something to cheer for. Yeah. And people are going to find something to cheer for. I personally want to OK see the win last night.
I Golden State is super fun to watch. I think the finals are going to be awesome. But I just thought it would have been a crazy upset. And it would have been like we said, defying conventions.
And Russell Westbrook's fashion during the finals would have been insane. Yeah. Final games. Absolutely.
It would be all over TV. It already is, really. But I was going to say, speaking of fantasy sports, what happened to the guy who won the bracket? Yeah, Tyler Walker.
If you like to write that script, we don't have an advertiser at the moment. So we will read your script. Oh, and also the NHL. Someone's got to be close to winning now.
I don't know. You would think so. But to me, a fan who wants to be that protective, it's like in music if you have a band that you like, and they're not super well-known or whatever. But you somehow discovered their album or saw them live.
And then they put out another album that is an explosive hit. It's the biggest record in the world. All their music is all over ads and shit. You don't get to say to people who like that album that like, you're not a real fan.
Where were you? For me, that band is like Phoenix. I love Phoenix. And they do.
Great city. Became a big band when they put out like, listomania and bankrupt their most recent album. It was a pretty big album too. But like, I.
Your album before that was not called listomania. What kind of fan are you? It's called Wolf Yeah, Wolf Gang. I'm a dance fan.
I think you're saying about a song. I'm a huge Phoenix fan. I mean, I don't know the names of their albums, but you know, pretty big fan. It's never been like that is a fucking amazing record.
Like they blew up after that record. So that little band that I had that I could like play in the car on a road trip or show to people or whatever, it stopped being like a unique thing that I liked that not everyone has heard of in the world. I didn't get to be like you motherfuckers. You think you like this band?
What was the name of their single of their previous album? Like no one fucking cares, man. It's good. People like good things.
Yeah, man. So band wagon is cool. I think we're all okay with it. Yeah, everyone is.
That's the moral of the story here. Yeah, I'm fine with it. All right. Well, let's move on from that.
Into the Twitter. No, but it's out of time. It's out of time. It's out of time.
It's out of time. What am I beating? It's out of time. It's out of time.
You've got me. What am I beating? Next question. Stuff and anything good in the mail back this week.
Oh, we got some great questions because I asked for Gorilla questions as well as sports questions. Oh, God. And there were a lot of Gorilla questions. We've had so much Gorilla talk.
I feel like we can't even answer these questions. We're going to have to. John, I'm sorry. This is from at Mike proper.
And he asked, which of the following Gorillas is still alive. Number one, this is an ad to Gorilla. No, false. OK, yeah, that's the only.
Oh, that was the only kind of time. Like I'm usually joking to see it. I like that we just want to get back to our bandwagoning topic. I like that we just brought it up to basically just say our opinion.
That was a fun segment. Yeah, I like that. You're just like, let's talk about bandwagoning. My opinion is correct.
It is correct. But that was really funny. It's like sort of a debate, but we didn't really even present a debate. We're just like bandwagoning.
Cool. Here's how we do it. It was a big thing with the United States. One state is going to be in the final.
I hope they win. It would be great. You don't want a Mon Shumper to win an NBA title? I think there's a difference between bandwagoning for the Warriors and being a fan of what ever Team LeBron plays for.
Yeah, I agree. LeBron's a dummy. We got a sports questionnaire. Let's do it.
This is from John on WeRaver, a very funny guy. And he asks, who would be a better hockey GM? Jim Benning or Harambe, the dead gorilla who got domed by a zoo special forces squad. The gorilla.
Yeah, it's the gorilla. Because you think he would have to step in and hire someone else on that. Yeah, you can't have a dead thing. Yeah, exactly.
I think if the girl was alive. I don't think you could have an animal anyway. I think it's a good show for it to be not only an animal but a dead animal I feel like you're probably asking a lot. Oh, actually, I wanted to bring this up earlier.
This is from Virvidikus. And he asked, on a scale of one to 10, how much did real good shows threat to own them at the summer summit make the Canucks cancel it? It's got to be 10. Because it happened like right after that episode was released.
Immediately. And about a percent. I tweeted about it a bunch and a lot of people were tweeting about a bunch. And we did talk about how last week's episode was like our biggest numbers download ever.
It was also at least affected it. So I feel like that number boost may have come from the Canucks front office passing the link around and like listen to this. You got to think that they do have people whose job it is to like consume local media to see what's up. Yeah.
For sure. So the chances that someone in the Canucks front office is listening to our pod gas is actually probably pretty likely. But someone in the Canucks front office has definitely consumed Ian McIntyre. It's like a body snatcher sort of thing.
They implanted a chip in his brain. Everything about the Canucks is good. I do love that they actually did get. Like I made this joke earlier on the internet.
Oh, yeah, I know. On H.F.O.A.R. It's actually. Whoa.
The Canucks canceling the summer summit is literally the most progressive and forward thinking they've ever done. Yeah. Well, did they have like 17 summits last year? Wait, which was so it would be like some overload.
Yeah, no. Yeah. So they're like, oh, we did like 10 of these last year. We'll get we'll stop now.
Probably smart. I got it. Do you have a question, Justin? This one comes from Sam Brunner who writes, what is your preferred method of killing gorillas?
Well, I'm going to go throw back all the way to the first episode with a gun. It's your longtime listeners out there. That's not for your bandwagoners. That's right.
Yeah. You're here. You're going to get it. You'll chuckle slightly more than.
I'm going to go with poison. Poisoning a nice slowdown. I'm going to push it down a lofty flight of stairs. Nice.
