Real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good, real good. Ladies and gentlemen, hello and welcome to another edition of America's Best Worst Canadian Sports Podcast. That's right, real good show back again for episode 53. Justin Morrisett with you as always, and with me as always is...
John Cullen, we didn't find a shitty Canucks player to... No, we're not doing that. Oh, that's just over. Oh, no, we're in the Corvette 53?
I guess, yeah. So nevermind. Yeah, yeah. Even you like him.
I do, yeah. You just have like occasional interactions with his girlfriend though, so I feel like you would be very awkward with for you if you like tried to engage in beef with him. Oh, yeah, that's true. Not that she would know that, or he would know that.
No, none of them would know. She's playing on an actual like regular curling team this year though, so I'm assuming I'll see her a lot more often than I did last year. Last year she just kind of spared for a few teams, but this year she's on like a fully committed team, so I'm assuming that, yeah, I'll see her around. Well, that's your look at the curling career of Bo Horvat's girlfriend, ladies and gentlemen, but we're...
Holly Donaldson. We're happy to have you back in the fold this week, John. Bo Horvat's girlfriend. I didn't dawks her.
It doesn't matter. She, like, her Instagram is so funny because it's just like a post a picture and then a bunch of people will just comment being like, how's Bo? Or like whatever, and you're like, oh my God, like, it's like middle-aged men that like follow her on Instagram to ask about her boyfriend. It's super friggin weird.
I'll see if I can find some good examples while you guys talk about whatever you mean. While I'll see if I can find her license plate number so we can officially do this. That's true. She does also, they seem to be very good friends with Linden Bay and his wife, so maybe we can get some scoop on the little girl.
He's a child right now. He's a child right now. Yeah, well the trial's over. I don't think we've ever talked about this on the show because it seemed like a really weird thing that wasn't that funny.
So, I mean, if you don't know, and if you're an American listener, you probably don't. Linden Bay, former Vancouver Connect, his father was in court with his mistress over the course of the last little while, and he was found guilty of conspiracy to murder their respective spouses. So that's a lot of fun. It was a conspiracy.
Yeah, it was a conspiracy. They lived in a super small town, like 600 people. So why don't you just move? Or just do it.
Why are you doing on the planning? You live in a town with like 20 people? I guess so, yeah. But like, you know, not that if you live in a large city, that's a good reason to murder your spouse.
I think you live in a bigger city of the planet. Well actually, no, maybe not. If you're in a small city, you'd have to plan more. They were going to like burn down the house to kill her husband.
Yeah. And he was going to like poison his wife or something like that. Yeah. Regardless, this is not funny.
So, let's talk about something like that. Well, he didn't do it. They just planned to when we found guilty of meaning to. Yeah.
They didn't actually. They didn't get around to it. Yeah. They're lazy.
Yes. John, did you find what you were looking for? Yeah, there was a picture of, there's a picture of her horse that had recently passed away. She does like professional horse riding.
So it was like this long paragraph, but her horse that had died. And then someone wrote about Bo underneath it. And then there was another picture of just her and Bo and every, like all her friends are like, whoa, so pretty holly. You're like, oh, you guys are so cute.
Then one person just like the future captain of the Vancouver Canucks, Bo Horvat and all Capitol letters. Oh, so many would be RIP your horse. Yeah. That would get really annoying after what I would imagine.
Just trying to have like a normal Instagram theme. Yeah, I mean, I guess she could lock it if she like really wanted to. Yeah. And she doesn't.
Yeah. So I guess there's that, but yeah, I feel bad for her. Definitely like whenever she posts a pic, I'm pretty sure she goes through and like deletes a lot of them because like when she just posts one, it's just like the first like three comments or some format. Yeah.
And then you're like, oh my God. Yeah, I feel bad for her, but she's a very like lovely lady and Bo seems like a great guy. And a quality curler. Very good curler.
Very good curler. Yeah, absolutely. Well, you were gone. I was gone.
How was your trip to the, you know, Toronto? Yeah, it was good. The mother province. Yeah, exactly.
It was fine. It was so hot. Like it's so hot there all the time. Humidity.
Yeah. It's the primary culprit. It's miserable. Like I remember one day I had a shower and then I had to walk for like 10 minutes to the bus.
And then I was I might as well have never had a shower. I think it was like it was just so horrible. You just sweat instantly. Yeah, so that kind of sucked, but my shows were fun.
I went to a J's game. They won. So that was fun. Yeah.
Just getting to see friends and family in Toronto was a good time. I mean, it was no being in Vancouver with you guys. But it was fun. I looked at the weather because I'm going out Philly next week.
Right. It's like 37 degrees. Oh man. It's so yeah.
That's insane. I don't like this. Like 25 degrees is hot. Yeah.
Oh, for sure. The temperature swings are so crazy too. Like it'll be like plus 35 in the summer, but then like minus 35 in the window. I don't even live back there.
I have no idea. This is all Celsius Americans in case you're. Yeah. That's freezing cold.
What are you talking about? Yeah. 37 Celsius is really, really hot. Yeah, it's like 100.
About 100 degrees. Yeah. And then minus 30 would be like zero Fahrenheit. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. It's nice to be hanging around with those guys. Yeah.
I mean, I have to be honest. I expected them to be better at it than they were, but I was clearly the star of the episode. But yeah. I mean, like overall it was fine.
No, I'm just kidding. They were great guys. I actually got to hang out with Zoob's and his girlfriend a little more throughout the week, both really nice people. And yeah, Jake Solarius.
And you said it was nice to feel appreciated on a podcast for once, which hurts my heart. I'm going to be honest. I did not enjoy hearing that from you. Well, if that's how you really feel.
Well, I'm taking my talents to South Beach, South Beach, Toronto. I mean, you heard the podcast, Zoob's made mention of me moving to Toronto and being a permanent host on their podcast multiple times. That's true. So, and I'm here.
They're going to be a trade though. Yeah, exactly. Well, we tried to get to Vang because he came for the, uh, for the Toronto F.C. Yeah.
Yeah. Toronto F.C. versus Vancouver, Whitecaps, F.C. And he had to catch a flight to go back to Toronto before we recorded.
Yeah. So unfortunate that that couldn't happen because that would have been a great East Coast West Coast podcast swap. Yeah. If we'd make that happen in the same week, but hopefully next time to Vang.
Yeah. The doors are open to you. Oh, for sure. And any of those guys, I know Zoob's saying that him and Melissa are planning on coming out.
So we got both of them on the podcast. Yeah. She's also a baseball reporter. Yeah.
Melissa Kudo. She writes for the Canadian press and she's like a lot of J's, but she does all the sports for them. And yeah, very nice. Very nice lady.
So open door policy. Open door policy for all of sports. Yeah. We had a good time.
I think from all from everything that I know, it was the most downloaded and most popular episode they've ever had. I don't know if that's true. I'm guessing because I was very good on it. But you also ran into a former guest on this show because when you came home from the East Coast, that's not really the East Coast.
Yeah, the East. East. Yeah. I came back from the Middle East.
Yeah, I believe you ran to Jesse Ferard here. I did. Rooting through your garbage. Yeah.
Absolutely. It's no wonder that he is so large. He's not only eating his own meal, but he's eating the stuff that I didn't eat from. He's not dying right now though.
I'm very proud of him. He's working out. That's awesome. And he's got a handlebar mustache too.
I've seen it. He's got a very good exercise regimen where he's just walking up and down his own fucking enormous driveway all day. He does have, for those of you who don't know, Jesse has a really big driveway. He does five laps of his own driveway.
It takes about seven hours. Well, he's got a sprinkle of the grass clippings on it. Is he on a farm or what is he? He's like a very nice house in Nashville.
Yeah. Is he rich? Yeah. He's a big news.
He's a big news. He's a tech billionaire. Oh, okay. Sweet.
He invented a very popular app called Pokemon Go. Oh, wow. Oh, he runs Nintendo. Yeah.
I didn't realize that. He runs Nintendo too. Oh, really? He's a big news man.
Nice. You wouldn't know it. No, you wouldn't. Yeah.
You'd think he was just out of shape for the year old white man. But you know, that's the thing about like, Asians like that. They just don't age in a conventional way. They stay young forever.
Or yeah, white with a handlebar mustache. Yeah. Exactly. The mustache isn't.
It's a bit much. Yeah, he's living his life out there. You know, what can he say? But you performed at Pemberton last week?
I did at Pemberton Music Festival, which, I mean, you know, it wasn't really that big of an accomplishment. I mean, it was just a local comedian getting five minutes at a local festival. We've all done it. Yeah, everyone.
I didn't see it before. Stefan did it in 2008. Yeah, but the festival didn't exist. Yeah, it was just up there in the concert.
I think that was the first year of it. No, wait. Didn't it get taken away for like three years or something? Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah. I got sure. Oh, wait. It wasn't.
Okay. It just doesn't feel like it was that long ago because they took that long break. Yeah. Yeah, because there's only been like four or five.
Yeah. But yes. Did they take like one other like year off also? I don't know.
The first one was a disaster and I have not been back since. But did you go to that first one? Yeah. Yeah.
It's like Pemberton is a very small town. Yes, it is. Probably has the population of our listenership. And it sounds like a pretty big town.
Like it could not handle that influx of car traffic. The police were trying to guide like it just wasn't planned out at cars in the town. And like even the buses holding the talent that we're flying in couldn't get to the venue in time for their sets. Like I'm pretty sure Eddie RD did a 15 minute set because they just couldn't get there.
See, this one says it's only Wikipedia says only going since 2014. That's the new one. That's the new one. I guess it was just called Pemberton I think.
Yeah, so I looked at Pemberton music festival. How to be 2007 or 2000? Yeah, Pemberton festival. Jump to 2008.
Nice. I figured it was around then. I just wasn't sure. You opened.
Yeah, so I did a spot in the festival, which was really fun. The earlier thing I was saying was just a joke in reference to a Twitter fight I had with an idiot. But yeah, they was selected. They did a couple BC comedy showcases.
So they just selected three comics from Vancouver to go up and perform on Thursday of the festival. So it went up and did that. And I think we can all agree that comedy is best served at 5.30 in the afternoon outdoors. When you can hear the bleed from two other music stages while you're on stage.
I think we can agree. Which bands are playing? I'm still a Vastad. I honestly can't remember.
I want to say it was keys and crates that were playing when I was on. But I could be totally wrong also. I don't care. But yeah, I was able to, Arkel's were playing a little after my set.
So I hung out with Pascast Max from the Arkel's. He was lovely. He treated me like an old friend. He's just a nice, genuine man.
So we hung out a little bit right before they went on stage. I watched the show from side stage. And then I hung out with them and El wins after the show. Then we went and watched Snoop Dogg from the side of the stage, which was pretty hilarious.
Now you famously do not partake in the rock and roll lifestyle. That's very true. I was hanging out backstage at a music festival. This one was pretty sweet because they had the artist village and it was in a grove of trees.
So the catering was unbelievable. They had a pop-up restaurant that had everything you could imagine. If you were at the festival all four days, you could have eaten something different for dinner every night from this catering place. They had oysters, tacos, pizza, sandwiches, southern barbecue, fish, ice cream, coffee, everything you could imagine.
They had it in there. It was all really good. So that was awesome. And then for the bands they had them in yurts.
I love that word. Yeah, it's a great word. So they had yurts all set up and then the bands were like that's where they chilled. So our cow has invited you back to their yurts.
That's right. So I was inside the yurts. We've all been there. Yeah, we have been there.
Oh, and the stand was there in 2008. Yeah, so you know we were yurting. That was great. Yurting or yurting?
Yurting. Oh, okay. Did Night Inch Nails play their famous hit? Yurts.
Oh my God. So anyway, I got to hang out and it was fun. It was a good time. Snoop Dogg was really funny.
He doesn't know the lyrics to any of his own songs. So I learned that he has monitors on stage and he just reads the lyrics to his songs off the monitor. He's doing karaoke. He has his own songs.
There were a couple songs that he knew the words to. It was all old songs like Gin and Juice and Lottie Dottie and what's my name. He knew all of the lyrics to those. But all of his new songs, no chance.
So he just had them scrolling and it was so funny because when you're back, I was standing behind him on the stage. So I was basically at the same vantage point that he did. It's so funny because he had three monitors on the stage, one on the left side, one in the middle and one on the right side. So he would come over and stand there and people in the crowd were acting like, oh man, he's over on the side.
He loves us and no, he was just trying to get closer to the monitor so he could read it. So it was just hilarious. There was this girl that kept flashing him and he was 100% not even looking at it. There was one song where he stood directly in front of the monitor for almost the entire song.
I think some songs, he knew some of the words but then some of them he didn't know. So he'd wander around, sing the words that he knew and then go over to a monitor and then sing the ones he didn't know. That song he definitely did not. Maybe he didn't even remember that he recorded it.
I have no idea. But he was standing there and this girl was flashing him and was like, whoo. And I could even see his eyes. He was clearly not even looking at the crowd but the whole side of that area was like, yeah, I just want to say on the Pemberton wiki page, this is the best line there.
On January 8, 2009, Live Nation officially announced the cancellation of the 2009 event and instead was going to focus on the planning of the 2010 comeback. On January 19, 2010, Live Nation announced the cancellation of the 2010 event. Nice. Yeah.
See, I think they got it figured out in terms of the traffic and stuff. I had no issue getting up there. Okay. So they've got it down to a science now.
It just took them like five years to plan it in the interim, basically, before they felt comfortable bringing it back. But that's cool. I assume that you and Max obviously just talked about the show and what a great time was. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
That was pretty awesome. That's all he wanted to talk about, which was super weird. But yeah, no, he said they're thinking that they're going to be back here in the new year. Touring their new record, which comes out next month.
Yeah, morning report. And yeah, he said that he would be happy to be back on the show again. Well, I look forward to the return of the Max. You've been waiting to break that out for weeks.
And of course, this is a very busy and important time for you also. Yeah. Because the Republican National Convention started today, which means it's meme season, baby. Pretty much.
Yeah. I mean, we have to just kind of, it's like jokes that I'll be making on my own account, but I'm doing on a verified account. Like my mind. Yeah.
It's kind of cool. I liked your diehard with a vengeance sandwich board joke. Oh, I was pretty happy with that one. That was pretty good.
And then the video today of the guy who's like the head of the young Republicans who's like 39 years old and has two kids. And he couldn't say the name of his own website. He's like, young, it's like, why, I can play it. This November, I asked my fellow young Americans across the country to stand with us.
Visit YRG and we will make a marriage. And it's the wrong website. It's not.org, it's .GOP. So if you go to .org, it's not actually a website.
So he also just gave the wrong website too. And was very confused about it. Yeah, he's like 60 years old. He's the head of the young Republicans.
My other favorite thing was like the super white dude who's like, we're the party of like diversity and youth and everyone starts applauding and it cuts the crowd and everyone's like 85 years old and super white. But you're heading to the convention, are you not? To the Democratic one. I think we went to the RNC and we would get murdered.
Probably. Like I'm 100% sure. One is the Democratic National. That's next week.
It's on Monday. So you will not be here. We're not being here. We're not leaving tonight.
It'll be just for laughs. Just for funies. It's actually just for goofs. Yeah.
I'll be at just for laughs. So I'll have to figure something out with the program. Yeah. I mean, maybe we'll do an episode before Stephanie and I leave.
Maybe we won't. Yeah. No one really knows. But I guess we could thank people who are supporting the show.
Yeah, that's always a good idea. That's a good thing to do. I haven't been around for a while. So might as well get my thank you on.
There's a couple ways that people can support the program. I'm not going to tell people that they enjoy it. That's a good way to do it. You can just tell it through the work.
Yeah, exactly. Even if you hate it, tell someone you enjoy it. Through Word of mouth, that always helps the program. Absolutely.
You can also head online to the iTunes Store and leave a review if you rate and review the program. It gives us a boost in the iTunes algorithms, keeps us on the charts or prominent in the what's hot section anyways. We're definitely hot. Yeah.
And we like to take a peek at the people who leave those reviews in 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 Raider Ricks, who writes, Bring Back the Illegal Pie Bit. I donated money on Patreon, and they immediately related my name to a baseball player best known for saying athletic support cups don't fit him and who still uses an English translator after 15 years in the league. Every penny is worth it.
The show never fails to make me laugh, and the hosts have the perfect balance of chemistry to further push the point home that sports are the worst thing I spend my emotions on that yields happiness literally 0.001% of the time. It's definitely hilarious. John plays the cynical jerk just far enough to be likable and endearing and just to be honest, the most interesting thing I've ever seen is the glue and heart of the show, who brings the energy I've come to love and expect from this weekly treat, 5 stars. So thank you.
Very kind. Yeah, I feel like that's the nicest review we've ever had. I was like, I got called a jerk in it. That was like the perfect summary of the program and then various sincere compliments to each one of us.
Yeah, it was nice. I appreciate that. Thank you to whoever that was. Who was that?
I said his name like 5 times. Yeah, I don't remember. Who did we compare him to? Wannabe.
Yeah, I know him. Yeah, you're eBay. Yeah, so his name is Eurebabe. Might be.
I think that's a rare play baseball. Yeah, I was around the same. He's a roostvane. Do you think Jix have varicose veins?
No, varicose veins. I'm maybe his enormous ballsack. Who knows? I don't think he knows what varicose veins are.
That'd be really weird if your balls had varicose veins. I would not be okay with that at all. No, that's time to retire. I just don't miss that.
Although I guess it's like, it'd be kind of cool if your own dick was ribbed for her pleasure. Do you like those magnum chocolate ads that are just all these? Oh, yeah. The hot agnose ones?
No, it's like magnum. Is that hot agnose? Yeah, I think it's hot. It's the hot agnose ice cream bar.
First of all, it's called magnum. Yeah. And then it's talking about pleasure and like, yeah. I mean, they're basically saying like, I'm going to eat this cock, but it's ice cream.
I kind of want one. Yeah, I'd be super gay if cock was ice cream. It'd be as gay as it comes. There's a few other ways that people can help the program.
Yes. And this is the first time that someone has chosen to do it this way. We've talked about before that my own personal mailing address is listed on our website. We have talked about it before.
So you can come mail me some anthrax or murder me with a high powered rifle. This might be anthrax that you have right now. I know, but of course we've talked quite a bit over the last few episodes about the show celebrating the one year anniversary. That's right.
Because we couldn't decide when it was. We celebrated it over the last like five, 52 weeks of real good show of 52 episodes also. That's right. And somebody sent us an anniversary present.
In fact, it's the reigning 2015 real good show listener of the year, gunning for the 2016 listener of the year title as well because yearkey 21, everyone's favorite finish remixer of clips of the week. Yeah, he's definitely my favorite finish remixer. Sent us a gift in the mail. I've had this in my home for a long time, but I chose not to open it so that we could all find out what's in the case.
In case it's a bomb. Yeah, it's probably a dead-out one. Yeah, it's a dead-out one. Yeah, so you have the equipment.
So you're kidding. It says it's from Hong Kong. Yeah. Who knows what he mailed us, but we'll find out in just a second.
Oh my God. What is this? It very well could be a bomb. There's something in here that is wrapped in a protective sheet.
It plugs into something. Oh my God. What is this? Oh my gosh.
What is this? This is. Oh my God. It looks like a neon.
What? What? It's the best thing I've ever seen in three of us. It's the real good show image.
It says keep calm and real good show on. It lights up too. It's a neon light very similar to the chive neon light. That's in the pizza place.
Panaconda and Odeopto Thorps local pizza. I think you're just one. Let's do the year for the next five years. Oh my God.
This is amazing. I'm going to plug this in. I'm going to get this made. What the fuck?
I know that. Oh my God. It's like a glass kind of etching and it's got our photo on it. We will post photos.
We'll post a photo of it right now. I'm going to take a picture of you holding it when it's lit up. That's so funny. That's the fucking funniest thing I've ever seen.
Thank you so much for your views. Thank you to everybody who sent us nice messages when we celebrated one year also. It's been a treat to listen to the show. Thank you to the day labor in Hong Kong who made this.
It's been a treat to make it also. Thank you for tuning in. We'll see if I can plug this in without falling over. Do you want me to hold the back of the power bar?
Just don't drop the thing. There you go. It's definitely plugging in. It's glowing.
We have our own neon sign. Hold it down a little bit. There you go. This is the craziest thing I've ever seen.
What a wonderful gift. Hold it in front of you, Justin. There you go. That's fucking unbelievable.
That is so funny. I don't even know what to say. This is hilarious. Who gets to keep it?
Is it going to be like a Stanley Cup where we just kind of have our day? I guess so. That's so funny. That's like taking turns hanging in our respective partners.
You have a chain to hang it up with. We'll clearly bring this to the live show. Good segue by Stefan. Yeah.
Great now. That's like, we'll just definitely rewind it. Oh, did I? Yeah, whatever.
Great segue. He's a good segue-rewinner. That's actually kind of your bid. It is.
You've done like four or five like way too early segue. We can stick and plug it later. Or I'll do a great segue and then you'll be like, hang on. I have something else to talk about for five minutes.
Because I want you to do the segue again. Are you tweeting this from the Real Good show account or from your own account? I'll tweet it from the Real Good show account and then retweet it from my account. We also have some people to thank this week for donating to the program.
Do they donate to another neon sign? Just like rate of rate. I feel bad for these people because I don't care. I should have gone with them first.
Yeah, seriously. This is like if Elvis Presley opened for you. This is like that scene in Walk Hard. Yes.
Which is a great movie. It is. It's very good. Let's just watch that movie right now.
We have a lot of people to thank because we haven't done Patreon thank you in a few weeks. Okay. Held off from doing it last week so that we could thank these people with you here also, John. Okay, yeah, you forgot.
Yes. Adam Cozij is a donor. Adam Cozij, can you spell that? I hope I said right.
It's K-O-Z-I-J. Cozij? K-O-Z-I-J. Is it just Cozij?
Is it just Cozij? The J-O-Z-I-J is silent? Yeah, maybe. I think a lot of those things could be silent.
I don't know. I don't know. Like, is that a silent that it's Coij? It could be Coij.
Co-J. Cozij? Cozij? Cozij?
I don't know. Sure, we'll hear. He'll let us know. Adam, thank you.
He's also a relatively active participant contributor to our Facebook group. Oh, excellent. Yeah, if you haven't joined that yet, we have a good time. It's still amazing how often posts are in it.
It's like five posts a day. Eric Price also decided to become a donor. Thank you, Eric Price. Thank you, Eric, for being the Price who pays.
We appreciate that. Nice. James Montyff pledged enough to join next year's Spies of Memorial. Wow, excellent.
Did he change his name to name yourself after your cat? He changed his name to honor the late, great Corey Montyff. I don't think so. Is that who you named your cat after?
No. Corey Montyff? No, I named my cat after Monty Python. Wow.
But it's a cat that's hyphen as a snake. Yes. So that's the only name that Carrie and I could both... Yeah, but Python is a snake.
Can you just call him Python? Like, I could see if the group was called... He's like a gesture. He's like a jumper.
Right? Yeah. Except that huge foot can not stomp him. Broke his friends.
Yeah, that's true. His cat wrists. That's a risk. Yeah, a risk.
Jeremy Cacal. Oh, beef target. Answered the cacal to be one of our daughters. That's right.
Speaking of Max Curven, Ratford Pissed. I didn't bring that up with Max. I should have done a little ago. Oh, just done a good program.
And a gentleman who could be in the running right up there with Yerke 21 for Real Good Joe 2016 listener of the year. To send us a custom neon sign. Tom Present. Yes.
He's really got in for it. It's almost like he knew that your key sent us a knee on something I can't believe that you're so funny. It's the greatest. We have to have it every time we record Don't have to put that in your bag hang it up on the wall every time we record.
I love it Justin you look like a sasquatch. I know and I like it step in an I are wearing sunglasses in the in this version of the picture We look cooler. I think yeah, yeah, Justin. I have to admit this etching does lend further credence to the you are action bronson Yeah, there was an etching of action bronson that would look also look like well It doesn't help it stephens body just kind of blend yeah, yeah, yeah, we look like we're all sharing your body It looks like it looks like a couch with our heads on the top.
Yeah, it's great I just read it out the picture. I'll post on the Facebook group That's the best thing I've anyway not to diminish all the Those creators the donors and we're so happy to have those people on board and of course Stephanie alluded to a live show earlier I'm sorry. I guess I was supposed to come to the program that will be recorded at a live event in the month of September They get free entry if they are donated a certain level, right? So yeah, I'm gonna wait look forward to that and we'll talk about that a little more at the end of the program But that will do it for the way people can help the show now.
Let's do the show itself I have a weekly segment where people send us neon signs And there's not a lot of sports stuff to discuss this week We're kind of in the the doldrums of summer at the moment There was literally a day where there was like actually no sports news and the sports news brutal that is going on right now is not really Our avenue of sports discussion Brock Lesnar testing positive for whatever he happened to test positive for yeah They still haven't really said yeah And you'd think that the second sample is being tested and should probably the results from that should be out at some point Yeah, which if you're Brock Lesnar You're probably an idiot if you're going to like he was tested more than anyone in the lead up to that fight and didn't ping until like two weeks before So it doesn't really make sense that he would intentionally do anything like that Yeah, cuz like you wouldn't have time to see results from it and you're fully aware that you're being tested like literally once a week Unless he's just taking steroids all the time, which is possible. Yeah looks like a golem. Yeah a golem. Sorry.
Golem is a my True. Yeah, he is a giant pile of meat walking around. Oh, he's the huge. Yeah.
He's so scary. He's very big You have that like sword tattoo Hilt of a sword pretty cool. Yeah, but beyond that of course the other enemy news was cyborg got his head gave in literally His head is caved in but here's the thing you guys didn't oh, sorry. I'd stole your line Okay, but here's a thing for a while since John used it.
Yeah, I'm kind of off of it. It's been a while I should be illegal Well except for our three four Obviously, that's unspoken. I guess next year for three four tea and we'd have to go for pie Yeah, but you guys didn't see a corn from a pie You told me about the whole head caving thing and I was like aware of it and then I was like well did you see what the guy did after he caved his head in and The MMA fighter who caved his head in gave the other guys head in went to the side after caving the guys head in and grabbed I like an ash catch him hat and put on and then rolled a pokeball at the guy who was like dying Amazing. Yeah, I mean to be fair.
You didn't know at the time that he caved his head in Yeah, I just knew he'd knock it out like with a caved in skull Justin. You're our resident Pokemon go expert What's the Pokemon pun that best fits there for a caved in skull caved in skull? Yeah, like is there a there's like a there's a Pokemon that has like a skeleton helmet on cue bone. Yeah, you bone That's uh, it's it's it's mom's skull actually really.
Yeah, that's a little morbid But yeah, who's mom keep on oh? I see like in the game. It was just like one of them right, but I guess the implication is that I was more Like a name like is there like a Pokemon that's called like cave of cave of a shoe head cave head? Yeah, head head head head.
I was just thinking of head smash in buffalo jump. Oh, yeah, totally That's a good one for the landmark where they sent all the buffalo off the cliff and then collected their bodies at the bottom hunting Hunting everybody likes to hunt. I don't know what we're talking But we could talk about of course what is probably our clip of the week and our loony's tune is in clipper It's all one. It's a double it's a double header It's probably the funniest thing that has happened in sports in a very long time Well, it's almost like we have clips after it too.
Yes related to it. Yes, the person involved in the clip is fucking insane What you probably heard at this point? Yeah, I think I would think so at this point the tenors Of course everybody's favorite pop opera group were performing the Canadian national anthem at the MLB all-star game last week When one of the tenors decided to go rogue as a lone wolf The lone wolf tenor acted alone by changing the words to the national anthem to include all lives matter in the eyes of the great Sure, I thought he still said brave didn't he I think it's the great it was kind of hard to and he also held up the sign Yes, but we will find out in just a moment when we hear his little rendition. Yeah of okay Love We're all It is to be great all lives matter to the great what does that even mean he doesn't know odd yeah, yeah, probably doesn't know he doesn't know he's talking He is also an insane person.
Yeah, quite clearly apparent. Well, I thought this guy was first of all I want to say I'm gonna apologize for this guy's French Canadian because he's a Canadian tenor right he's from Boston apparently Rimidio perrier. Yeah, but that sounds like a Canadian tenor if he's a tenor was born in Boston moved to Ottawa I see but does he seems super friendly seems like he seems like super into the circus and like one of those you know I mean, yeah, like remember a few years back. There's that sex cult like the Raylians.
Yes. Yeah, he seems like he'd be a sex cult. Yeah I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, you missed about a Raylian sex cult.
Yeah, it's good times I'll do a little flame I'll die if you're in the Wikipedia also I think if he was gonna be a Pokemon you either be hit Mon Lee or hit Mon Chan Is he gonna hit in the skull either that or slow bro? He probably has fragments of his own skull inside his Yeah, Raylianism is a UFO religion that was founded in 1974 by Claude Virilhan now known as rail the Raylian movement teaches that life on earth was specifically created by a species of extraterrestrials Which they called the Elohim? Where's the sex part? There's a sex part in here.
I'm pretty sure there's a sex part That's that was me when I was 12 watching movies after 11. Here we go Sensuality and pleasure. It's on showcase after midnight. Yeah, I know there's a sex part.
Oh They want to teach kids how to like have good sex not just like about sex. Oh, so I teach kids how to like fuck good Oh, that's the made the primary tenant of their cult. That's one of the tenants. Okay.
Yeah, I just remember there was it was in Quebec a few years back Okay, there was this weird sex cult. Well, I'm glad to know more about that But anyway, I thought this guy was French-Canadian because he's super weird. But he's not yeah He's not French-Canadian because it seems like it's a French-Canadian thing to do he's a matter You're in a tenor group he believes that the earth is flat so he's a flat earth to the French-Canadian He also believes that naturopaths are being murdered by big pharma because they're they're gonna break up there They're Monopoly on healing people so they're killing the doctors. That sounds like a great premise for a video game watch dogs to the naturopath He also believes that people are holding back the cure for cancer.
Well, that's a pretty common one I think a lot of people believe that's true And he also believes that there is a link between fluoride in the water supply and all-simers one of the fluoride. Nice. Yeah, so he's got to be a vaccination Oh, definitely and he's also a chem trailer. Yeah Well, he also posted a picture on his Facebook of like a sunset where it kind of looked like a cloud is behind the sun and he's like Wait, think about this like maybe the sun is like really close to us or something.
I guess I'm small The Sun came into our atmosphere and so now there's clouds behind it He also thought that all lives matter was like a very good inclusive thing to say right He didn't know that what he was saying was potentially racist or belittling. Yeah, which it was super both of those things And Don Cherry of course didn't know that either because he referred to the tenors as left-wing weirdos and All lives matter was also a very left-wing phrase apparently. I agree. Well, did we read the tweet they sent out afterwards?
No, I got a nurse put out a statement that included some wonderful phrasing. Okay The tenors are deeply sorry for the disrespectful and misguided lack of judgment by one member of the group acting as a lone wolf today during the singing of The Canadian National Anthem great at the MLB All-Star Game in San Diego The other members of the group are shocked and embarrassed by the actions of Remigio Pereira who changed the lyrics of our treasure anthem and used this coveted platform to serve His own political views are sincere apologies and regrets go out to everybody who witnessed this shameful act to our fellow Canadians to major league baseball To our friends families fans and all those affected the actions of one member of this group were extremely selfish and he will not be performing with The tenors until further notice my favorite part of this is they called a misguided lack of judgment Like there's like a guided lack of judgment. Yeah, you're like a judgment, but Guided who pointed in the right direction. Yeah, so I can't fault him for that I just love the phrase lone wolf tenor and also his shameful act I like the idea that they think people care about the tenors Well, they went on CBC the day after and said that they'd been in a living nightmare having to deal with the social media backlash Oh, I thought just being the tenors is living here's the Origins of the term lone wolf the term lone wolf was popularized by white supremacists Alex Curtis and Tom Metzger in the 1990s Metzger advocated individual or small-cell underground activity as opposed to above-ground membership organizations Envisaging warriors acting alone or in small groups to attack the government or other targets in daily anonymous acts So basically late it I mean sure the term lone wolf is used by US law enforcement agencies and the media to refer to individuals undertaking violent acts of Terrorism outside a command structure.
So I mean yeah, I mean kind of what he did was a terrorist act I guess and he defended himself by saying he has black friends. So don't we all he would never make a racist mistake like this He would never go on national television and blunderingly Condescend against black lives matter. No because he has black friends Yeah, we all do he also released a statement on his own sound cloud which we will know now because even more so than Can you handle this one of the of the singing of the anthem this statement that he released? Well, this is the real this is the real clip of the week.
I like to think this is so funny Rimigio take it away This was not a political statement. I don't agree with killing So if I don't agree with killing it means that I don't agree with black people dying I weep when I see videos Of a man just trying to sell CD and he gets killed murdered Just like I weep if I see a cop get killed because my cousin is a cop I can't hold it in and I know that they put their lives on the line every single day for us He's only we think because it's cousin's a cop. I know exactly my cousin is a cop No disrespect whatsoever To black lives matter black lives do matter Black Definitely do this like racist ASMR Stop it there. Yeah, it is.
