6 - You Call That A Dick?!

Hello, welcome to RealGoodShow, it's Episode 6! And you are listening to, at what was at one point, the number four sports podcast in the world, according to the Canadian iTunes chart. I don't believe we're even on that chart at all at this point. Wouldn't that just be Canada?

Yeah, maybe. That's a podcast. It's come from all over the world, so the Canadian chart of Worldly Sports Podcast. We were number four at one point.

We were number four in the world in Canada. Yes, for one brief moment. Shining moment. And it was beautiful.

And maybe we'll get back there again with this episode 6. It's me, Justin Morris, that happy to be joined as always. Stefan Heck. And John Cullen, and yeah, great intro.

I was wondering how long I was going to take you in the podcast to talk about our podcast charting. And it was about as fast as I figured, it probably would be. So congratulations to us. I feel like we just have to, now we know that every time we do the, every time we're on the charts, we just have to be like screenshotting like as often as possible, just in case we don't get that high again.

No, we were four. I swear we were. We're seven now. We were four.

We were above Bill Simmons. We were above actually most podcasts in the world. So it was pretty sweet, but I'm not sure how the world in Canada. Yes, it is.

Yes, the algorithm of restructures like once per hour. I just kind of want like a, maybe we should start this sort of, like, I think it'd be great just to prove the worldly podcast theory that we do kind of like a vote for Rory situation and we just pick like some non-English language podcast and just download as many episodes as possible, get all of our listeners to download some Swedish sports podcast and see how high we can drive up its ratings in Canada. We're going to be so confused. Give that real good bump.

Yeah, I think you were bringing up vote for Rory though. That was a great, I don't think it was a sick. He's not even a connection and honestly I had almost forgotten about that. That was a great moment.

I mean, I feel like it was kind of came back a little bit this year because of the whole like Royals fiasco. Yeah. That made eight of their players and as starters in the all-star game or whatever. And a quick primer for those who are listening who don't know what the vote for Rory campaign was.

That's probably a good idea. I don't know if it's Patrick. I knew who he was. It was just randomly chosen by hockey Twitter.

No, Twitter didn't exist. No, it was on hfboards and Canucks.com has started. Okay. And it was Canucks fans.

Yeah, because he was a Canucks fans. He's like the definition of a journeyman defense. And so he came from the saber in Buffalo fans. Like a journeyman like but didn't really journey that far.

Like he didn't really play that many games even like just like your body who did that roller blade and trip across the country and made it like one day before. That's much of a journeyman as Rory. Exactly. Exactly.

It was the equivalent of whatever going from Gander to whatever city. Yeah, like I can't think of any. I know like three cities. But he had a groundswell and I think he was actually number one in the vote.

He was a head of wild. He was a head of wild. And I remember people were making like fake like hit videos against Lidster and he was like, Lidster was like minus four in a game. Yeah.

But didn't he like didn't he himself like almost submarine his own campaign? I feel like he felt very awkward about that. Yeah, like I just remember kind of like it was a really big deal. And then he kind of came out and was sort of like, I don't think I want to go.

Like I feel maybe he had like a great vacation book or something. Yeah. He booked like some ridiculous four day vacation. Now he's like, oh shit, I might have to go to the All-Star game.

And I came into, you know, work one day, which is a hockey rink for him. Is that where I was at? And every single one of his teammates was wearing a vote for Rory campaign. Yeah.

Which probably like is pretty uncomfortable if you're him because like it is an ironic campaign where the joke is that you're terrible. So you're so terrible that this is lovable. But he should have like he had the votes and then I remember one day he like just lost a bunch of votes. And to be fair, people were using like scripts and stuff.

Yeah, there were lots voting for him. Yeah. It was just back in like yeah, 2007 All-Star game, January 24 2007 in Dallas. And yeah, so I guess back then it was a lot easier to kind of run these bots and just flood them with votes.

I suppose Twitter did exist at that point, but not in the same capacity that it currently does. I thought it was just eight. Anyway, I have no idea. Yeah, it wouldn't have been, it wouldn't have been much of a difference.

I know it was mostly like forums, it was like hfboards, connects.com. Yeah. I know when Twitter started it was just basically Ashen Kutcher yelling into space. Essentially, that's all I know about the early days of Twitter.

That's like early celebrity. Yeah, exactly. That's going to be one of the universe grows and grows and grows and expands and then it will eventually contract Twitter will eventually. At one point, just the Ashen Kutcher is again.

Yeah, just posting pictures of his children and yelling into space. Well, I know that sometimes we open the show by just telling each other good for you in terms of personal accomplishments. And I thought I might just jump right into that six seconds into the show. I think just good for us.

I was like, okay. Oh, I see. I was like, I was trying to think of any good shit that I did. I didn't accomplish anything.

Yeah, you guys never do anything. So I figured it was only me that you could have been talking to me. If you want to know where my life is at right now, at one point last night I had spent seven of the previous 24 hours attending WWE wrestling shows. So that's an accomplishment.

Things are going well. Whatever. I'm not really in common with residents of Shreveport, Louisiana. My mom is just absolutely thrilled with that.

And I bet that I can only imagine. I told me explicitly several times. It's exclusively for Rednecks. Why are you doing this?

It's just enjoyable sometimes. But I don't know people hate it when I talk about wrestling on my Twitter account. And it's probably even worse when we talk about it. Yeah, we're done with it.

You have a nice voice though. I mean, they're talking about wrestling. Yeah, yeah. Maybe if you talk about it long enough, like some WWE scout.

Like maybe that's where they scout. Like they scout podgas for future. Well, a lot of their current future wrestling. Well, no, Justin's not.

No. Well, although, well, yesterday. You're going to the border. You want to tell this story?

Yeah, sure. So Justin and I went to Raw with Justin yesterday. We went down to Everett Washington. Beautiful city.

No. Sunset was really nice over the derelict buildings in the parking lot that only cost us $5 to park. And that's how you know that your city is a piece of shit. And you have like an event that has never been in Everett before.

The show was sold out and a parcade one and a half blocks from the arena could still only manage to charge $5 for the entire evening. What's the Canadian equivalent or the PC equivalent of like Duncan maybe? Oh, Everett. Well, no, because it's really close to Seattle.

It'd be like, sorry. Yeah. Hope might even be too far. Hope might be too far.

Yeah. Yeah. Coquitlam. Ish.

But no, no, not as nice. I would probably. Yeah. So to the six people who are enjoying this.

Yeah, exactly. We're celebrating our newfound success, which no doubt means we have listeners outside of Vancouver by just exclusively talking about. It's a suburb. Yeah.

So just basically wherever you're listening to this from, probably most of our listeners live in those cities. They know exactly that we're not. I think it's like really like Metropolitan, you know, people listening to the show. But yeah, just pick a city like half an hour outside of your major city.

And that's where? That's it. And I'm assuming it is just as poor as the city. And anyway, I don't know why I'm just like trashing the city for no reason.

We're talking about crossing the border. Right. So Justin and I are going across the border and we'll see that can't tell from our profile picture or like podcast photo. Justin is not exactly a small man.

And so we're crossing the border and the gentleman at the border asked what we were doing. So if you're tri up. Yeah, like that. And so we just said we were going to wrestling and he said, oh, are you guys wrestling?

And I said, well, I'm in no shape to wrestle because again, if you have seen the photo, I'm not exactly the strongest person in the world. I struggle with most jars. And so I said, well, maybe I said, I'm in no shape to wrestle, but maybe he's wrestling. And then the border guard just kind of looked at us.

He was like, that's funny. Have a good time. Hey, I'm wrestling. Oh, there it is.

And then just let us go. The shape of our photo is kind of like a stock market thing where it's like the stock started going up and it gets like top Justin said and then it just fucking. Yeah, you're kind of short. I'm like, five, 10, nine and a half.

The look on your face was like, I write five, 10 in my online dating profile. But I tell him, but like, let's be serious. No, I know. I feel like Justin, what are you?

Six, two. Six, two. Okay. But like, yeah, I feel like I'm about six feet.

So you're just kind of stuck. Like you started a podcast. You're the wrong dude. Where the market opened in the morning.

Yeah, exactly. John Tapper rang the bell and started with you and then it went from there. But I don't know. There was one guy in the lineup who kept saying that you looked like Steven Emell, the star of the show.

Yeah, which was very nice of him to say. He's a very good looking man. Steven Emell was on the show last night. He got into the ring and attacked Stardust and he looked good.

Like usually when celebrities get involved in pro wrestling angles, it's the worst thing ever. Yeah. Like I guess he does a lot of fighting on the show though. Yeah, like he legit climbs a salmon ladder almost every episode.

Is that a ladder made out of salmon? Yes, it is. It's very slippery. It's challenging because it's very slippery.

And one week they pranked him and all the salmon was rotten. Smell, then it was slippery. But like David Arquette in WCW is like the worst thing that ever happened. And he made him the champion, which was even more.

Which terrible things happen all the time. So it would be the worst thing. Well, Jay Leno also wrestled with WCW. And so did the insane clown posse.

But like the insane clown posse you can buy. Yeah, but like a backyard wrestling. Yeah, you're like for sure they've grown up with wrestling. Like you could buy that.

But like Robocop also made him. That's amazing. That's wonderful. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Sting was like locked in a cell and Robocop like down the ramp and bent the bars to let him out. Okay. So like which current celebrity would you say would be like the person you would least want to see wrestle? Oh, I thought John Stewart did a really good job.

I said at least. But I'm trying to think of what is a celebrity. Or a celebrity athlete. It could be anyone just like Stephen Hawking is like a celebrity.

Like Stephen Hawking is like a celebrity. Would you least want to see that? Well, yeah. That's a good point.

Act like that's kind of that might be entertaining. Yeah. Like I think let's go most because I think most would be like John Taffer. I would love it.

Yeah. Like he looks like he could handle himself too. Like just hopping over those people. Well, yeah.

He would be like he would just be like a really he wouldn't understand that it was not a real life. Yeah your punches are garbage. It's all these punches. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Yeah, like the show. Raw would be two hours and 55 minutes of them explaining to John Taffer that it's not real and then five minutes of him actually punching So yeah, this is a good time I think if John Taffer if you're listening to this right now, please leave once again block me on Twitter He might be now like number four in the world in the world Yeah, it's been like three and a half months like I think we can let by guns be a bag on I won't do another anime sex thing with you like I'll get your blessing first one thing I will say and I was mentioning this to you before the podcast And is that at least John Taffer is consistent because he has blocked another one of my friends who tweeted Something along the lines of wanting John Taffer to rescue his dick and he did not appreciate said comment and blocked my friend immediately So apparently he's fine with rescuing bars, but penis draws the line draws the line cock rest call that a dick Yeah, I would I use the name of his cock rescue show I would pay a lot of money to see John Taffer just yell at someone's penis Yeah, well who wouldn't this guy just has a pants around his ankles He's obviously flaccid because you're not getting hard in front of Taffer like no unless unless you have like one of those weird things Where you're like attracted to like rage or younger. Yeah, like a fetish for like Android or a fear boner Isn't that like a thing? Yeah, like looking at me.

I don't know That's the thing from the league. I don't know. Oh for the league. That's right.

Okay. Yeah, I knew that's why I wasn't like looking right at you Like isn't that a thing that you get scared to get bonus? I get like morning wood and I guess I'm like scared just in general when I wake up So I know that's fair. Okay.

Yeah, well, it's been a while since we talked about big countries dick So I feel like we're really improving our dick quota right now. Yeah, yeah Well, this is a good section of the program all that a dig But we were talking John Taffer. Do you want to get into it right now? Do you have something I do I got something for the Taffer tracker?

It's been a little quiet on the Taffer tracker recently So I just decided to like look him up on Google News and there's an article about him on entrepreneur.com Which is like that's such a shitty website. I can just tell right off the bat because it's called entrepreneur.com anyway The headline is bar rescues John Taffer says every excuse is BS The article is approximately five paragraphs long and one of the paragraphs is like a seven word sentence Yeah, yeah, and so the meat of the article is every excuses bull Taffer says that's like the quote from him Which in the headlines is BS BS is different from bull so already I don't trust this guy's an entrepreneur who is writing this and then it says for more on Taffer's thoughts on failure check out the video above and There's no video above So I know if I like this like meta thing where it's like Taffer's thoughts on failure. Oh, there's no video Okay, it's like it's like well, I know the the author credit is Jason fell and under his name It says former managing So maybe you know didn't put that video in and that was it Jason you're done Wow, you're out as He was the managing editor which entrepreneur.com and then he fell you're an article about failure on entrepreneur.com and they got fired So bad, which we're not going to edit the article to put the video in we're just going to edit your title to say I like that. That's awesome.

Actually, that should be everywhere So that's the that's the Taffer tracker Which is I feel like you're like a like a character in a movie like at one of those like Navy sonar like surveillance post It's just like spin in the bars spin in and beep beep sir. We've got something That's the Taffer tracker for the week, but you know, this is nominally a sports podcast and we've talked so much about sports already Stephen Amell participated in fake sports, which he looked good He looked like he looked good and he got one of the biggest pops of the night like the crowd was crazy for him Which I was quite surprised by yep, but let's talk about real sports Probably good idea and that's what everyone listening was thinking Talk about real sports because we talked about the last couple weeks We've talked mostly about wrestling and roller skating and wrestling movies and wrestling Yeah, exactly so Logan's film career because it was a pretty quiet week in sports until until this morning Yeah, yeah, we we had something good Something wonderful happen in the training camp for the New York Jets the New York football Jets Do they call them that or is the football Giants whatever all right because at one time there were the New York baseball Giants Also, and then they moved to San Francisco right when I pick hockey Jets and the Dodgers also were based at a Brooklyn and moved LA So does California all of its baseball teams to New York basically? Yes, essentially yes All right, well, you know, you probably heard about it by now because it was hilarious and That is anytime a man gets hurt it is The New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith will be out for the next six to ten weeks missing a sizable portion of the Baseball or football season sorry watching baseball on TV right now, but why would you admit that people? Oh, yeah, we're trying to do this, but we're also watching the game at the same time You know sometimes I will just say what I'm looking at instead of what I mean to say do you ever have that I've been like the word gets replaced in your head But just by what you're looking directly at the moment No, like if I was like ordering pizza on the phone and it's like a dog in front of me and I'm like I wanna order a dog Happens to you I'm smart like I don't know I've never had an order a dog.

Yeah, you know would be great isn't there like oh, yeah That's just actually the will transfer I'm sure at little Caesars you can order dog fresh lies fresh lies you could definitely work on dog No, gosh, well you might like they might just give you the pizza with like the hot dog crust instead. That's pizza How doesn't it I think so I think so fresh lies did it would be like they're hot The jar they put those the pizza had one it's like these little mini ones and they're they're like coated in like they're breaded or whatever They're like little uncircumcised dicks and they're just surrounding the pizza you call that I think the world well little ones very like you call that a dick pizza which is John Tapper's program No, actually that's because it's got to be somewhat food related right because he's got like bar rescue So maybe it well I know that's not like necessarily food But maybe it would just be like you call that a dick But it's actually just about dick shaped foods or it could be like pickles and hot dogs like there's that there's that porn website that Where the guys like stick their dicks through the pizza. Oh, yeah big sauce. I hate that I know that I kind of like pretended to not know the website where the pizza is like a weird like the two parts of my brain Like the one part of my brain that always wants to be right and the other part of my brain that was ashamed That was a shame that I do that question I was just always like no, we're not gonna pick such a piece of me off because they ruin the pizza exactly and also like they just carried The box is real weird like yeah, what were you expecting when the delivery guy?

Out of the slices not all just fall This is vertical Well, there's also two possibilities to either the pizza is piping hot like it should be any severely burning his cock Or it's cold pizza and who wants to eat that well There's a dick in it so but You call that dick pizza. This is a sports fuck. Yeah, it is and we were so close We were so close then talking about on the vertical ball I said baseball instead Gino Smith quarterback for the New York Jets is going to miss a significant I Know this being disputed at the moment if he was sucker punched or if he was just the guy who got hit first I heard he put his key kind of wave his finger in the guy's face Which is like a reason to get punched but you finger way that's still like a sucker punch It's a big step up from finger wack. I suppose though, but you know, I mean I don't know I agree with the New York Jets is coaches logic and that sucks for him right new brand new coach of the Jets Rex Ryan's just left the team with a Something so funny Rex Ryan is just wishing if he was the still the coach that the guy just like kicked him like hi So we could watch the foot But yeah, which that would be a real weird I seem to drop your pizza now it's on my foot My foot through a pizza my dick through the No, he too.

Yeah, if anyone's asking on the mailbag, I'm sorry Rank the body parts you'd like to have on a pizza go Oh Pizza which yeah, so it's really nice one. Yeah, now this number one Yeah, because then your mouth is like a drain and you can just suck the pizza Oh, I feel bad for the new coach of the Jets because he had to like this is basically like his first like major order of Business is like talking about this and he said we were listening to his clip earlier and he was talking about how No, man should ever punch another man in the face unless his family is threatened, which I don't believe if you're Wagging your finger at someone that he did say save for like the other guy puts hands on you first Yeah, which implies that you know didn't put hands on well Somebody asked for clarification that a genome did maybe when he wagged his finger he accidentally hit his nose kind of like a Right, yeah, just booped his nose and then got punched, but yeah So you know Smith will miss six to ten weeks because he broke his jaw getting punched in the face Yeah, you gotta be dropping somebody really hard to break there. Well, the dude punched him is gigantic as well. Yeah Wrong guy.

I mean he's a football player, but he's big I can't do it. How he is his name if you're if you are a quarterback You probably shouldn't be fighting anyone on your team like I'm presuming you're one of the least strong people on your team What's your exceptions? I mean Rothless burgers a giant cam Newton, but like I mean and a genome Smith is actually pretty big too But like he's fighting a line man. It's a linebacker.

Well. Yeah, I'm back Exactly not easy not fat. He's like he's big, but not fat and his job is to get at the quarterback Yeah, exactly did just that you know Smith is just all six two and a half Yeah, yeah, you know Smith is actually on the bigger side for a QB But still not the guy I'd probably pick to like I get in a fight with the kicker Like I'm gonna borrow money off someone on my team. I'll pay them back another quarterback in the league that you'd rather fight Oh, there are definitely court of any of the white ones I have a quarterback is six foot three.

Well, yeah, because they have to see over the line of scrimmage It was always the dig on breeze. Yeah, all the shorter guys They they can't see over the line of scrimmage is hilarious I would probably challenge J Cutler to a fight with the like just Bow out of the fight halfway through and watch from the sideline. Yeah, yeah for sure Yeah, but there was a great quote from before this incident happened Look this up and this was the lead of the story that Yahoo Sports ran with in introducing you to the man who just broke Genos Miss jaw I K and I'm Polly a story that jets insider calm did on him before training camp or early in training camp rather The story spoke about how hard he was working to establish himself He spoke about how he wanted to be great quote when I retire I want to watch film and look back at my career and just say damn you did that He told jets insider and he definitely did something today that had a lot of people saying damn you did that I imagine that's all of the texts that he received today was just damn you did that Yeah, just people sending him snapchat. I'm just like damn you did that And this was apparently over a $600 plane ticket.

I'm not sure who owed who money on this You know owed him Gino. I believe she was not buying his own plane ticket. See is the quarterback It was for like and I'm in Pali was it was running his own like high school like quarterback camp Sort of football camp and I think he For you know something come down. He bought the ticket He was like all pay for your ticket if you come to the camp with like all just buy it right now And you'll pay me back.

Yeah, so clearly was not happening and will now never happen So way to go and I'm probably just flushed that money away But this is gonna go nicely into our clip of the week which you cannot find on ESPN any longer They pull this because always a good sign exactly which it should be said that kind of shocking that ESPN didn't pull the pump cost It's but they're like that we stand behind that we're fine with that one I think that was on MLB TV actually I thought it was like Sunday night baseball on ESPN though. I thought I think it was on ABC I think it was the MLB network. Yeah, I never mind. But that's why they still in Poland.

Oh, yeah, whatever Yeah, this is a great cause this is time So this is coming into us from from the good folks at dead spin who have archived it after ESPN to leave it Probably it's a request of Roger Goodell They seem to like do whatever Goodell wants I'm probably gonna assume that he plays to call to remove this from your airwaves, please But it still exists and we're happy it does because it's the real good show clip of the week on the phone Chris Carter ESPN's NFL analyst Coming into the free agent or late ground draft it, which think you know about myself I've been cut and don't you know it is that you just a scrappy guy So a lot of times now with a lack of practices You don't feel like you get a chance to prove your point that you can play at this level And there's a lot of protection for some of the star players especially the quarterback now. I don't know what happened But for me is the lack of leadership on Geno Smith's part that he would put himself in arms way to get sucker punch Because then you're the president like the O of the team We can have you fighting now We got a bunch of other fighters here and these young players are trying to make the team So for me from a leadership standpoint if you look at the best quarterback in this league They're great leaders and they can say things to players to make them uncomfortable But you got to establish those players before they Before you get that respect man Tom Brady goes up and down rip guys up and down bamarena with legendary for Tim Kelly Montana But when guys don't respect you you see the likelihood for something like this happened especially with it Not being home the field in a competitive, you know situation Chris mentioned star players It's always good when you begin your comments with now. I don't know what happened. Yeah, that's great and then yeah, but to me Here is what happened like maybe like finding a dead body on the street that I just been hit by a car And you just walk up and you're like it out of the way well, no, I'm thinking even where you just go up and you're like well I don't know what happened, but I'm thinking they got shot.

No bullet wounds whatsoever. This has been this is murder And I'll say it was probably my friend Rob. It was definitely my friend Rob I have a couple issues with Chris Carter here one of them He says Geno Smith is the president of the Jets the president of the Jets is actually Neil Glatt So he feels very slightly. Yeah, come on I know he was gross.

Yeah, but and then the second thing is he said put himself in arms way And I think he actually thinks that's the saying because he got punched So he's like oh you get punched you put yourself in arms way There's an arm coming to work this part is a retired pirate Well, maybe he's just one of those people who like can't say the letter H for whatever Yeah, there are a few well if it starts a word Yeah, like people who say like a human instead of human which or huge which is the weirdest I think he said he and him though a couple times. Yeah, so I don't know maybe it's just certain It sounds real weird if you said he He was doing that. Oh, maybe the people say that I don't know him kind of I feel like I've heard that before It sounds sort of like Irish or corny. Yeah, I don't think Chris Carter is like a cockney chimney No, I don't think so.

No, uh the funny thing I thought about this too was like Chris Carter and he is a former like I think he's in the NFL Hall of Fame like I'm a receiver for the Vikings for a number of years I'm certainly a great player even if he's not in the Hall of Fame I just went into Google and the top for his law before I could even finish writing Hall of Fame with Hall of Fame speech So, yeah, there you go. Okay. Yeah, so I thought he was in the hall. Yeah, so I mean he's a very well-known guy And he's listening off all these quarterbacks like jino Smith is I think this is his third year in league And he's expecting that he's gonna be like telling his team to f off like Tom Brady I mean, it's obviously jino Smith probably does need to have some Moticum of control or leadership over the team But to say like that jino Smith should just be telling his team to f off on the reg is like pretty Ridiculous one of the things that jumped out at me too was he's like we got other guys who were fighters and you know He should not be one of them.

There's other guys who were fighters. Yeah, the pre emble to that was very weird before he got into Where he's talking about like guys have so few chances to prove themselves practice. They got a beat up Other guys Saying that like jino Smith if jino Smith has a problem with another player that he just needs like pull a king move and like get one of his Knights to take him out as opposed to like being that's basically yeah, exactly. Yeah.

He was pretty much saying like those shit on the road He players. Yeah, trial by combat. Yeah, which honestly if I was the quarterback of a team I would for sure have some like linemen that just Why wouldn't I hate him for me? Yeah?

He wants me to pay him back a plane ticket go tell him what I think about that I don't pay for plane ticket from jino Smith and yes, we mentioned this earlier. I believe but yeah The player who punched him in the face ik and poly was released from the team immediately after what's happened I hope the patreon sign up. Oh, yeah, that would be the team that would sign up especially because they play the jets twice a year I feel like and they love trolling the jesus love trolling the jed bellichik loves trolling anyone anytime I feel like the relevant phrase here is if you come at the king you best not miss and Credit he did not miss but I think you're also going to use with the king Well, that's what chris Carter was implying basically I kind of in this whole vaneer I want to see more analysts just before any news comes out just make the most like hot take statements Maybe the call did not come from rottrick adele then maybe it was Chris Carter himself hangs up the phone like looks at twitter And it's like uh, can you guys forget that I did that? Uh, so now I know what happened but we were live we were live exactly Uh, yeah, chris it's a call-in show.

Uh, we play phone calls on the air. You've been on this show like 50 times It was live. I never knew it was live. I thought we were just talking privately.

Yeah Well, we're lucky that that came down today because that was the most entertaining story in sports I believe but uh, the blue j's on tv right now and they have been on a heck of a run I know we talked a lot about them last week, but it seems like blue j mania just continues to get whipped up into a further Friends it's getting around here in Vancouver. Yeah We didn't get to in the mailbag last week was from uh, my boy the zoos who was asking if it was noticeably picked up in terms of Jay's fandom in Vancouver scene jerseys around and people being excited about the team and uh, definitely Yeah, I thought it was I played in a and we should also mention the zoos one of the co-hosts of the sports-velled podcast Uh, and uh, so check that out great podcast Um, we uh, yeah, I was playing in a softball tournament this weekend, um, and basically like every game like a guy on our team Uh, had the j's like you had like the bell tv like app on his phone So he had the j's game playing on his phone on like a bluetooth speaker and every team we played was like coming over and asking like Oh, what happened in the game? Oh, what's going on? What's the score?

There was definitely when Justin smoky the grand slam against the Yankees on saturday There was definitely like uh, like the other team got distracted for a minute because they overheard us talking about how Justin smoky just had a grand slam And then it kind of like, you know, when around spread field field. Yeah, exactly. Um, so yeah, so I mean pretty cool You know pretty cool to see that happen, especially for me being from toronto and being around toronto in the 92 93 World series wins. I think the city is prime for a winner and it's nice to see it spreading in Canada as well Yeah, I was at a canadian's game last night and it was like it was close to a sellout and I'd say every other person was wearing something blue days related Yeah, and the canadians are j's farmed.

Yeah, I mean all the people yeah But I feel like the people who've been around that team for quite a long time feel Uh, some I don't want to say responsibility but a sense of pride in the the prospects that do move on and go to higher levels because I was talking to Even a security guard because I was a canadian's game on saturday night as well and uh, he was saying You know I was talking about the fact that all these deals were amazing and the most amazing thing is like they didn't even give up like Their best prospects really. Yeah. Well, and they've had in the recent years like sanchez strowman and pilar all spent a decent amount of time with the canadians parr especially I think parr was with them for an entire season Um, they're actually below singely. They're like even lower than shockingly Uh, yeah, the j's have a singely a double a and triple a team and then the canadian's on top of that But parr spent like a whole season there and then sanchez and strowman both Have a few starts for the canadian's but i was gonna say We're talking about the trades and how they were able to keep a lot of their top guys and bringing in like some of the most Blanted players not just available at the deadline but some of the best players and make sure they based both of you Uh that you know, he was he was still quite sad that like four guys who had played for the canadians at one point Got dealt out before the deadline because you want that rooting interest and playing around the team the canadians Well, I know when I went to watch the scene guys last year make it right.

Yeah, I know when I watched the canadians last year gyro Laboor was on the team which is just such a great he got traded in the david price deal i think and I just love I always love the same because it sounds like a type of cheese Um, so just like oh this guy's got just a top top 10 baseball name But and I feel like if he ever did something massive like a huge catch the headline waiting to be written as laboor of glove No, just let them hang yeah Well, now you got your bad one out of the way We know with something good When the canadians were triple a they have a lot of each player. Yeah, it's so uh, I think it's yeah. Can't say go jianbi I mean, oh totally. I mean triple a is you know, you're always gonna have really good I feel like the over the last decade have built up a pretty solid ground Swell of support too that they could probably play at a higher level than they do currently Yeah, similar with the one that the yanaro the white caps stepped up to nls having dominated a lower league before that Now obviously we're not gonna go straight to the highest level in north american or not given an mlb team in dankuver But I do feel like we could do better than the level that we have currently.

Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's just uh, I think it was a case of proximity to you for the jays like that well I think the problem was like I think being a farm team of the jays has actually helped them out because they when they were a triple a team They were the jays triple a team for a while I think but then they were oakland's triple a team and I think that was an issue because people here don't really have any affinity for oakland Yeah, it was the same situation. I like their hats. Yeah, they have great apps the best hat on baseball Yeah, the green and yellow one. Yeah, so good.

Um, but I I think it was the same thing like when the abbotsford heat came here and it was The other way flames. I wanted to go in the games Yeah, because we why would we want to go cheer on the flames prospects when the moose or Chicago wolves or whoever the conox farm team happened to be at the time Came to town those games would be crazy. So yeah, but they'd be like booing abbots for it Oh, yeah, it was so you know, I think that was a thing vancouver team of sorry vancouver fans are by their very nature pretty homaristic We talked about that on the podcast last week and so they want to feel that connection even at the pro even at the very low Prospect level they want to feel like well, this is the team I cheer for and it's certainly paid off for them having these guys now being in the Majors well it works for toronto also in that if you want your team to be can of this team and you know There's a big divide in the city in terms of whether we should cheer for the jays because they're Canadian or Seattle because it's closer regional much better That it gives you that act the extra connection of seeing guys get to rise up through the ranks and eventually make it But it's not just at canadians games that people are rocking jays gear in the city right now I feel like it's been a pretty massive boost in seeing people wearing jerseys and t-shirts around town And you know we talked about the fear of of bandwag and in a little bit stephen and I last week in that we're not really baseball fans But I do want to pay attention to this jays team what we're watching it right now I record the show and and like you know their ticket sales have Sky rocketed yeah making these deals 300,000 tickets sold since they got to it's and I'm tried to mention this last week But we got diverted when I watched the anthopolis press conference after the trade deadline he specifically said like yeah Do we want to bring these guys in and win some games? Absolutely, but more than that we want to increase interest in our team Yeah, sell tickets and bring fans in they want people to be jumping on the bandwagon So why should I feel guilty?

Well the reality is too that the jays do not I mean baseball at its core as a spectator sport is not real It's more about an afternoon out than it is about like who I'm gonna like yeah so into this Oh yeah, it's the experience It's just having a few beers outside on a nice day eating some peanuts and the thing is that the roger center where the jays play is gross It's a horrible stadium. It's in the middle of downtown Toronto the entire thing Just looks like someone took a giant plastic mold and then dumped concrete into it like it has no feeling There's no soul to that building so people don't feel that like when they go to places like San Francisco AT&T Park or Seattle Safe go field or like whatever like these are beautiful ball parts of the team Yeah, even if the team isn't that good you still want to go I mean Seattle's dreadful this year and they're still getting regularly 30,000 people out to the games because it's just a nice day out And you just enjoy going to the stadium and who gives a shit about the team or is the J is are in a situation where they have to be good Baseball's never gonna be the number one sport in Toronto because of hockey currently is though Well obviously right now the hockey is not on but you know what I mean like they're just it's never gonna be the number one team in Toronto Sports wise and I would argue in the last two years the Raptors have even overtaken the J. I feel like still if it's you know When hockey kicks back up against September and October that this J's team will be. Oh, yeah, of course They know it's the playoffs playing with the regular season of hockey, but I'm just saying like in an overall So yeah, the Leafs are always gonna be higher So the J's have to be a good team to get people to go to the stadium That's just always been the way it's been with the J's and so you're enjoying the atmosphere.

Yeah, exactly Yeah, that's the same thing going to Canadians games though like I was there on Saturday birthday party and it was a great party The game was horrible. Yeah, it's awful But yeah, there are probably people listening this podcast that have a single a team in their town and they're going holy shit There's a level below the delay because I go to the single a game and I it's lower case Yeah, exactly like the worst the most interesting thing about the game was that the Spokane pitcher was like a sidearm thrower So like his pitching style was kind of intriguing to watch Because like no one like a starting pitcher would never make the like a there's never I don't think or at least not for like a long Time been a starting pitcher that throws sidearm. You'll see that out of the bullpen Yeah, I'm like like Joe Kish X one of like the best pitchers actually one of the best relief pitchers in the game But like for the most part, it's you're not gonna be a starting pitcher pitching sidearm So the idea to go to a game and be like, well, okay Yeah, you have to watch a sidearm pitcher for seven innings or six innings or however long they last for me the best part of the game It's a sushi race for sure. Oh, the sushi race is so great.

It's a man Jeff wasabi. No, it's not he always wins Yeah, yeah, I think soy sauce one when I was there the other night really except they rigged it They the guys like who hold the finishing line were not in place yet So all three people had already ran by what where they were going to be and then the line went up and soy sauce one Even though technically was last is we're losing integrity in the sushi races. No, what is this? People go there for the sushi races are fixed nowadays.

Whereas you know before it was anyone any man's game Well, I know too They when I went last summer they had they have I don't know if they still have them this year I haven't been to a game yet, but they would have a and w root beer mugs over the fence Yeah, yeah, so you hit it if you hit it's called slugamog if someone hits a home run and it hits this a and w root beer Like cut out is big then everyone gets like a free root beer float, which is wonderful Yeah, so I went to a game and I'm listening please sponsor the podcast. Yeah, just hook us up We love it. Yeah, if you want to send us a picture of you thumbs up up to a and w and hopefully that'll result in free stuff for us We're down and also please continue to send us your middle finger picture We were at one time the number four sports podcast in the world in Canada So please sponsor us with ice like honestly, we're recording in a hot apartment right now fight a root beer float It would just make this so much better I'm sad we've even brought it up But all I'm saying is this is how often they hit home runs was that I went to the game a Canadian player at home run It missed the root beer mug by at least 25 feet and they were like so and so slug them Everybody's going home with a free root beer float tonight and you're like, okay, like we were all here for that Like because it's a giant kind of a root beer Like you would notice it would make noise. Yeah, it would make like it was nowhere near and I was like what the hell I'm like, okay, they obviously just a box is a coupon I'm like shit, it's the middle of August if anyone hits one close We're just giving it somebody's office who works for the team is just like full of boxes right now I can't even get to their desk because there's so up here float coupons in the way But you know how to have a rough start to the podcast maybe in terms of actual sports discussion But you always say that's a rough start but like a lot of people listen to this for that First talking about big sausage pizza.

Yeah, there was a big sausage pizza report Our podcast is in No Man's Land It was a great tweet this week from famous Scotty Tonga who wished on a genie that Stefan would start a podcast and then like the monkeys pop curse element Was that the podcast was about sports and I also hear complaints from sports people that we don't talk about sports enough Everyone hates us. We're not no man's right. We exist for no one. Yeah, exactly Well, I was saying to Justin yesterday we were discussing this on the way to wrestling was I was saying that like Pardon me to me It's kind of like the same side of it's like two sides of the same coin like we're a podcast for no one But also a podcast for everyone It's really like two sides of the same coin like you can argue that maybe no one likes it But maybe everyone likes it.

You know what I'm saying? I was just something for every we've certainly charted to such an extent that someone out there maybe tried it once and then didn't like it Because we're not on the charts anymore. No, we are still on the charts man. You really are checking it right now Yeah, we're on the charts.

Well, I don't want to know where we are. Oh on the like top charts We're on the top charts But we will be after we release this dynamite episode because We just gentlemen I'm happy to announce the return of John Cullen's roller report Oh, baby, so you know two episodes ago. We discussed the the Pan Am games artistic roller skating situation and so I've been only a situation It's definitely a situation in the same way that the Andre Jordan is a situation absolutely in much the same way that Mike Sorentino is the situation Is that his first name Mike? I think it is Because of the Trump roast oh because he was on and that was like the worst set of all time the funniest thing about that was Have you guys seen that I have not so the situation was roasting.

Yeah, so it was the comedy central roast of Donald Trump Which obviously like if you've watched any of the comedy central roasts They always have like well-known comedians on the show and then they'll have like two celebrity guests joke Yeah, there's jokes are written for them. So the funniest part is so so obviously the situation bombed like I Was gripped yeah, he did he went on straight. I had his own good stuff. Yeah, exactly So that's I thought you said you hadn't seen it I just am aware of it Because if you just like you know their jokes are written for them So if you just do what like Anthony Jessle and like wrote you to say they'll do well That's I was gonna say so what had happened was the funniest story that I heard was like if you watch the roast It's bad like it's so bad like he's bombing so hard and Jezel Nick was on a podcast afterwards And he arguably had one of the best roasts of all time at the Donald Trump Rose and he also like wrote for it a lot time before he was Actually on it.

Yeah, totally so he had said that yes that he and a couple other comedians had wrote a set for the situation And he turned it down and then bond and his set was basically like fuck you I have money that was pretty much like he just thought that was funny and Donald's just like whatever This is pretty much exactly and so Jezel Nick was like he was like no like you don't understand like if you think he bombed on TV He's like he bombed so hard in the room that they had to stop the taping for 15 minutes and restart it because people were like booing and yelling at him so much and then like after he finished like people were talking and were just Like they had been taken so far out of the show that they basically had to like restart the show Well, I guess the only thing I think of these go like the Atlantic City connection is that why yeah? I think it's like something like that. Yeah, he was just he was just a Well, he's also like it's usually the The roast gas or the person being the guest of honor It's hard to use the word honor and Donald Trump the same sentence Yeah, definitely, but that was one of the things was that like I think that he was somehow friends with Trump I don't even on like celebrity apprentice or something. Oh, you know, I guess what it was.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah I'm cool. My favorite rose commie central rose moment is still everyone who listens to this nose when I'm gonna say but it's normal Oh, yeah, it's so funny. Yeah, so funny.

Yeah, so The sand is for the birds. Yeah, so great So anyway back to the roller port which everyone's obviously excited to hear about So I decided to do some more research into the Pan Am game situation because I just was very confused as to like how it was even in there And I found an article in the national post that was talking about how the Pan Am games In Toronto this year had actually sold out both of the artistic figure skating events as 2000 people attended both of them So 4000 total and they were talking about how one of the major struggles of rollerblading typically in the Pan Am games is Facilities and so they tell the story of the last Pan Am games in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2011 And here is the this is a direct quote from the national post article There they decided to hold it outside in Guadalajara because I guess is when it's hot enough They'll do it outside They said there was a problem with insects that month athletes would arrive to train and the floor would be covered with insects Some were the size of double a batteries and they would get snared between the wheels which meant the skates required a kind of pre competition degreasing And then the article was about talking about Kayla Macri the Canadian we talked about and this is a great way of just Topping off this portion of the article Macri finished fifth in Mexico and retired So just just so great that you presumably are training for this sport a big moment to get to the Pan Am games Which presumably is they do have a world championship But most of the skaters are from the western hemisphere from the Americas based on the research that I've done Which is extensive and Water climbs also exactly because then you're actually rolling. Yeah, precisely. Yeah, so the Pan Am games was Yeah, it was presumably a big competition for them and they actually had to do some sort of degreasing Version sound better because there were no insects in there.

Yeah, I mean they had to move the competition venue the morning I'm sure it's too high school. Yeah, but yeah, I was swarmed with locusts Exactly, they're just so attractive. That's why they had to move it. Yeah, there was an insect problem.

They're like fuck this We're not gonna repeat a Guadalajara One another Guadalajara on our hands. That's gonna be the movie John Q sack be sitting in the war room We don't want another Guadalajara on our hands And then in the CTV dramatization of having to move the roller event from I'm gonna write this now And then another be the announcer in the movie you can I think that'd be perfect And another great quote from the same article is that someone from Roller Sports Canada was talking about How they were very excited by the attendance in the event and this is the finishing quote of the article He was very excited because before the Pan Am games Canada only had quote a couple dozen registered roller figure skaters before the Pan Am games But he was hoping that selling out for two nights might raise awareness about roller skating And then this is the closing quote of the article we talked to some families whose children were involved in figure skating and didn't like the cold Mackenzie said so maybe they'll consider taking up roller Even on the fence about being optimistic about that maybe I don't know some kids will get cold Yeah, how do you become the president of a federation that has like a half Like is that a full-time position very close vote? So yeah, so that is I actually have found a few things I thought I was gonna stack on top of each other for this roller report But I feel like that is more than enough for this one And we'll save it for next time so be excited for the next episode where I will have yet another fantastic edition of the roller We did watch some video of it too of like the high level of rollers free skating and it looks like incredibly dangerous And even more so than figure skating is well I did read one article where one of the quotes was from a roller figure skater kind of talking about You know sort of talking about that like you know, oh like like we're badass Like we're top, you know, it's like that kind of like skateboarders versus rollerbladers Like oh we're more badass because last time I checked figure skaters don't have to deal with splinters They have blades on their back. I feel like a blade is more forgiving when you're coming down from a jump Like if you catch it at an angle that's not perfect.

You can still land and glide out of your side I think you're on wheels and you just like catch a bad angle and wheel you just broke your ankle I would also argue that in the roller skating if you fall down like six people see it if you didn't ice skating and like a big More than six people say a huge old question if a skater falls In the competition does anyone laugh? Yeah, there's only six people there to see it That's the ball hurt as much Yeah, there's definitely a ratio prop like because the thing right like you see that in little kids right like they'll if they fall They'll like look around they'll be like that three seconds where they look for their parents And then if as soon as they make eye contact with their parents they'll start crying Yes, there's definitely like maybe that's like a thing with like roller skating as well Like if there's not that many people at your event your fall just doesn't hurt as much. It's like that up. It's great enough Yeah, it could be anyway, I think it's probably time for the nail.

Yeah, that's a great addition Definitely a very reward. Thank you for the best ever but guys listen I'm just on the street here just trying my best to bring the roller skating news to the people How you know it's gonna be really fucking weird is that we're gonna continue doing this podcast and it's gonna continue to climb up the iTunes charts And then eventually I'm gonna be quoted in a national post article being like well They the roller sports Canada says it owes a lot to you Colin and his podcast real good show For bringing artistic color blading to a larger. I love that they're just quoting you saying that they owe everything to you Well, yeah, obviously I'm freaking dope also. I'm gonna start following Kayla Macri on Twitter right now my goal is to We should wear on the show.

She hasn't tweeted since 2013 you were saying no that was that was Courtney Kennedy Oh, okay different different rollers skating. They're saying names. Yeah, no Kayla Macri super into it. So she has a hundred and fifty nine followers I think she's gonna notice me.

She's like get the notification on her phone. Yeah, she probably still has a notification So directly to her phone she is I think I read I feel like she's from Calgary, but it could be wrong Well Kayla if you're visiting Vancouver swing on by well, man, how good would a live edition of the rollerboard be? Not bad probably Good We have to say about the sport she dedicated her life to and just like we've openly also But it is a sports podcast and we're talking about it which implies that we think highly enough of it that we think it's a sport I like to talk about wrestling and we also said that was not a sport. Do we bury?

Talked about big sausage pizza for a while. We buried that like a cat match. So, okay, well, yeah Closin up the rollerboard and moving into the Twitter mail bag. It's letter time.

It's letter time Stefan. What do you have for us? Sorry, is that our set of themes? No, no, that's from the owner Speaking of that always find out what the show was yes, so it's thank you shout out to I don't even do We gotta give her some credit because they can't scan back in our yeah So Justin's gonna give you a shout out.

Thank you The show was called Nick arcade which I had seen it in the list But I was like pretty sure it wasn't that but it was so the competitors would play video games and then they would move this character Called Mike around like a board and there were sometimes where he was a scuba person This is this is John. He let us know John at Newsy 642 excellent Also, let us know that there were a lot of episodes on YouTube that he did and I did watch one of them And it was just as good as I remembered. Thank you so much John Nick arcade check it out. I guess that's your half of a good thing Yeah, that's my one good Questions this week though.

I'll start off with a bang. This is from Bobby. It's a question about again. Well now It's a great question though for people who think that we all sound alike.

I'm just gonna get the blame for every batch That's my plan. So his question is what is your favorite sports name of all time? And he says that his favorite is either Barquivius Mingo or wonderful terrific Mons the third Those are real no, but he goes a line back. Oh, that's right.

I don't know who wonderful terrific. Well, that's a change He's a former American football defense. Yeah, those still count. Yes.

I mean, I'm a world piece my favorite sports name of all time is Zarli Zalapsky You can't argue with like you can't argue with any of your initials being a zed when they're both a zed That's friggin unbelievable. And also when it's not like Zachary. Yeah, it's sorry And also I heard as well. I mean, I didn't know you know what I'm not even gonna go there I was gonna make a really bad pun and I'm just decided not to and it was gonna be offensive also So anyway, this is our Lee Zalapsky probably my top name Although I'll pull a Justin here and I will say it's a close tie between or close race between Zarli Zalapsky and to break A shot Ferguson.

Oh, yeah, see I was gonna go with the brick. Sorry. I'm not okay I'm gonna go with my other favorite, which is Ron tug nut. Yeah, which is just so straightforward and wonderful so Canadian to run Yeah, and then tug nut Ronald presumably.

Yeah Ronald tug. Yeah, and in the same vein Alex salmon is great And also the thing with Alex seven that's great is that for years in the NHL like EA NHL series Gary Thorne which is pronounced His name is semen. Yeah, and it was like they're recording this. It's not live.

Yeah Would have been somebody in the booth who could have been like Gary. It's not actually that yeah, not only did they not do that They reused that take of him saying it that way so thank you to whoever didn't tell Gary Thorne He was mispronouncing Alex and yeah, that's classic Well, and the great part I think about Ron tug nut as well is that not only does it have that kind of like juvenile chuckle value to it But it also does sort of sound like an oil magnates name. I'm Ronald tug nut the third. Yeah, it does weird like dual quality Yeah, there's definitely something to respect.

Yeah, and one more I'll throw more out there. Grant. Yeah, how does that like how does that name even exist? As someone's a weird name.

Yeah, we're named. Yeah, it's a odd one I am gonna go with my favorite name that I've ever gotten to say as a play-by-play man Because I occasionally do play-by-play for a number of different sports But there was a player who played for the Victoria grizzlies last season in the BCHL I'm not sure where he got traded to with the deadline, but he's I don't think is in the BCHL anymore Which is sad because we miss him his name was Storm Wallrab Kids storm first of all nice. I used to ride the the short bus to school with a kid named And then wallrab is a great name also I'll go with a I'll go with a BCHL of the player into the glass wallrab Then storm wallrab Also another BCHL name that I saw this year great one He's gonna be suiting up for the trail smoke eaters this year and his name is a Ninoy Tete Okay, well, I had to just search for this one also This is a player who will be playing this season in the BCHL for the Wenatchee wild He's a forward he wears number eight and his name is August van Ungerin Sternberg Wow, okay Well, that's the best because I was gonna throw in another junior B name that I really enjoyed he was a goalie and his name was Tate Sprockston That sounds like a vine star Or like a contestant on the real world. Yeah, I'm Tate Sprockston.

Hi guys You're watching MTV or it would be like one of the key and Peele made up names. Yeah Tate Sprockston what? I feel like this guy is like that too. Yeah August von Ungerin Sternberg if they did like a hockey party Yeah, well, then I think what him is he's got the Von.

He's got the hyphen. Yes, and he's named after a month Like that's the trifectus is a just a shit name. He was a gustus. It would be even better.

I might be his full name I bet you he's an Augustus. Yeah, he probably shortened it Yeah, that's awful when your name is a when you when your name is so bad you have to shorten it to August I feel like also fucking to his name plate is like gonna run down both arms probably on the back of his jersey He's probably just gonna pull like a soccer and just have August on the back or the US yeah something like that We've got another very good question. Yeah, let me see if I can yeah good question I could go on all day because I love names like that There was a goalie who was Tate Sprockston's goalie partner and he had a long name like that I can't remember his first name was Anders, but then he had like a really funny it was a great duo who played for the Chilliwack Chiefs last year which John you and I had a good time with it in the game that you did color with me for a Tipper Higgins and Craig Puffer so I'll tip her and puffer. Yeah, absolutely sports names are the best Yeah, yeah, if you want to tweet us your favorite sports names You're more than welcome to cuz I can't get enough of them You'll get show hook us up with your favorite sports names I love to see them and also give a W the thumbs up that's true Yeah, and gives a middle finger to the shittiest pizza in your town.

Yeah, we have lots of homework for you to do Yeah, this might be my favorite question in the past couple weeks because it's about Brian big country Rives okay the question comes from at Nimzo Wicken and he asks if Brian big country reeves was a country which country would he be? Well, Hungary is the obvious choice, but I it's too easy. It's my level I I'm gonna kind of go for the cop out using answer to say Russia cuz it's the biggest country. Okay.

Yeah, but he wasn't like the biggest though But his name is big country. I guess name was his name wasn't biggest country Breeze right past Hungary and go with Greece. Yeah He's got a Greek sort of Probably scalded his dick out of pizza one point exactly Brian to re-zopolis I don't know. This is a good.

That's a good. I mean my immediate reaction is just the US How do you not see that face? Holy shit, right? I mean that's about as American as they get I'll go with a I'm gonna say a seceded I'm gonna imagine a world where Alaska has seceded from the United States and he is from Alaska Okay, I like that wrestler who is that wrestler that was from Alaska that you just look at them You're like you are from Alaska.

He's like that famous US wrestler It's a start with an R like Olympic wrestler Yeah, he was like an Olympic wrestler and he was like quite popular for a while He was like a roovin maybe or something like that. He had like a weird name. I'm looking it up and And yeah, he I also thought he he lost his big toe from frostbite Very Alaskan anyway, continue have a question here from Jay Horbay who apparently would just will not let this go Jay Oh, is this the guy that we should also an abspand so Oh, we should rule on guard rule on gardener. You guys remember that?

Yeah, that's really long guard. He looked very Alaskan. I don't know if he was from there or not, but he looked from Wyoming close enough You'll ask of the last case in the country. Yes, but yeah, yeah, yeah, the Alaska of the 48 But Jay's question is why do you hate microwaves and microwaved food?

Okay, he needs to get over this I'm not even dignifying this response. The answer is sest with micro Yeah, I've already talked about we already fucked a microwave for you Jay. Okay, I use a microwave today And it was fine. Yeah, I enjoy using a microwave to heat up food that I cooked on a stove Yeah, if you're cooking in a microwave, you got a lot of things.

I mean a lot of things going wrong You know if you own a microwave which I guess is like a good thing, but if you're cooking in it Yeah, anyway, we're gonna put a moratorium on yeah Well, yeah Do you know this guy personally he was an intern with the Sir Eagles last season? Well, Jay But he was not the only one coming who reached out to me this week to complain about the way that we covered the Colorado Avalanche on last week's show Oh shut up, which was to just bury them in an avalanche of fuck you They're not gonna be nice to them after that. Yeah, our occasional intern Aaron I also an abspand and they were both like like what am I not allowed to complain about my next bad moves? You're not you clearly did not understand the purpose of our criticism Which is you had a fucking Stanley Cup parachute into your city the first year that they ever existed You're the second one like seven eight years later Yes, no clearly doesn't suck that you know your team is close to being good But your management is stupid and won't let you get to that point yes It does does it suck worse to go through 45 years without winning anything?

Yes, so fuck off every sports is pain It's unending misery is there right you got a championship in your first season Ever complain about shit in your life You just want to let you know that Justin also gave the middle fingers while he was saying that you could see him I was finger wagging genome style too So I kind of deserve to get punched in a jaw for that But here's my test is if if a conux fan would trade their teams entire history for your team's history Then you shouldn't complain and your teams only has like 20 years. Yeah. Yeah, so as a conux fan I would trade my team's history for almost every other NHL team Yeah, and I feel like an impale is going to be cooking with a microwave in the very near future So that's gives you an idea nice call back to one of our earlier Yeah, that's how we do it We're talking with a microwave be in a bitch. This is my favorite question the week We had the name you said that I know each question gets better And this is from friend of the show is that good man and he asks if a fresh license kind of directed more at me Yeah, this is a step in question.

Well part of it's a step in question part of it's definitely a Justin question But if a fresh license burnt down and they found Lucas B's as charred remains inside what would be your alibi? Okay, so before we answer the question time for the Lucas B's a would-do of the week so First first because I need to yeah time to prize is normally you come prepared because I feel like you have just lots of ways Removing Lucas B's from the Canucks my alibi would be I was at a podcast tape in I was recording a podcast I guess I'll be mine too and I'd be like I was threatening to murder Lucas B's on Yeah, it's like is this an alibi or a confession I well yeah, this question isn't directed at me at all I'm like you were the most likely person to get away with it then true actually so you could do it and we would take the fall I have nothing I have nothing against you just tell by was he was at wrestling trivia And he's got the fans to prove it in came to the video Which really there's just there's just one listener in particular that I want on my team I don't even know if he lives in Vancouver, but I followed him back on Twitter I think we'd almost exclusively about wrestling and it's Blimpy boy. Oh my god. So I'm gonna be playing with a guy next week named fucking Blimpy boy Yeah, that's actually Yeah, Blimpy boy Yeah, so he seems like he would have a depth of knowledge he's really the only one so Blimpy boy You're on the team come on down to the bill And he'll be my alibi also the cops ask about a person slash murder.

I didn't do it. I followed you back man This is the least you could do We still have not provided an alibi John my alibi is listen to all the podcast where I say I think Lucas B's a pretty good guy You would say that but I said that too. I think he's a good person. It's you know, we're suffering I know the end is contract from his okay.

I alibi would be that I'm curling. I'm not even that interested in hockey curling So I'm not I was at a curling game. That's my own. Yeah, right?

Definitely you have a curler would commit arson Lucas B's a would do of the week. I do have one but we have any more questions Would you hammer a nail in your day? First round pick I would actually just so Benning didn't pick another well I was gonna insult a can I like for a tan and he just it was not a sixth over and Jared McCann looks like he's gonna Be a player. Yeah, except he got severely concussed on the weekend.

He might be just playing his best But John the Taves took a hit like that from Willie Mitchell Johnny Taves is looking fine. That's true. That's true Well, we'll see what happens anyway. My Lucas B's a would do with the week I thought one up and I was recently I was making some some pizza and I It's not called back to the dick And I sliced it wasn't a big cup I sliced my finger open on the cheese grater and it was it's horrible because it's like it's the It's the side of it.

Yeah, exactly. So I would grate my ass And I would use all four seconds one of the four side ones where there's like the slicing side There's like the rough really fine. There's a bigger holes and then there's one more anyway Honest to God, I hope that Jim Benning listens to this and just takes you up on one of these offers for fun And then fresh slice listens to this and is like I want to use your ass as the cheese That would be great a question here kind of tastes like that's how that's where the cheese came from so It's been here from David Hamlin who says it's Hulk Hogan's birthday today Just in case you wanted to spend even more time talking about him, which we don't but the rest is it former Canadian junior champion Curler David Hamlin no, it's from Newport, Virginia, but unfortunate that I would have fanboyed for their for a minute Yeah, the rest of that we chose to talk about today was the star of Arrow Stephen Yeah, no, we're done. Yeah, we're done with Hulk Hogan moving on I think everyone's done with all Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, there were a series of questions that came in from your roommate Well, yeah, and I guess let me do you have it up right now I don't know the ones that he sent to you, but I have one that he sent to the show Let's see. Oh, here it is. Would you kill your roommate if it meant the Canucks one a cup and he puts in brackets the right answers Yes, and he is Stefan's roommate for those of you playing the whole game Chris Well, I guess it's either way. I mean, yeah, no, I I'd allow him to kill me and I would then you wouldn't but then you wouldn't be alive But I know the Canucks would win this down the cup if I knew if I was guaranteed Yeah, but even if I wasn't guaranteed I'd still do it anyway, so don't put up with me zen bending and all that shit So yeah, but I kill him.

Okay, a lot of murder. Yeah, we talk murder a lot He also asked a question to me which is There is more than one three ninjas movie and how did he get to 30 and not know this and the answer Chris is that you have a more enriched And thoughtful life than I do. I thought there were a lot There's like at least four of them here. This is a great chance for everybody to just see how many There were I tried to prove to you that I had seen three ninjas high noon at Ninja Mountain or mega mountain mega mountain I think you know all four three now I cannot but I can quote a piece of dialogue from high noon at mega mountain because the woman who like the evil woman who takes over the Theme park that the three ninjas have to karate kick repeatedly is named Medusa and she has a bunch of like Jamaican or just like Caribbean goons and one of the guys is looking at like a radar screen like Stefan And he's looking at the like security camera that shows Hulk Hogan's character Dave Dragon climbing up the side The wooden side of like a giant roller coaster and the guard like waves her over by shouting So that's I always remember that come check this There are four three ninjas films there's three ninjas three ninjas kickback three ninjas knuckle up and three ninjas high noon at mega mountain Now do you remember the three ninjas names?

I want them to say I'm a rocky and then I don't know the other two rocky cult cults and Tom Tom Tom Tom Tom Tom is the fat one just in case you're wondering one of the three is fat and they called him Tom Tom They're by Chad power. Yeah, I've listened to the show Those are their ninja names my apologies their real names are Samuel Jeffrey and Michael but their ninja names You know cult and Tom Tom Yeah, this is exactly what you think of when you think ninjas so in the first one you check like the message board on one of those dudes I'm DB is it would be like he was great as Tom Tom the most recent post on Chad power as a message board is he has a Myspace nice might as well check it out. That was made 2006 This is I love that basically the the plots of these movies got really bad after the first one is pretty good These three suburban California brothers visit their grandfather Morty Tanaka, which they're all white So we're not really sure what the country is there cabin in the desert to train to become ninjas on the last day Or sorry given the ninja names rocky cold and Tom Tom the boys witness a confrontation between their grandfather and Hugo Snyder ex student of Tanaka and a criminal who's being pursued by the boys father FBI agent Sam Douglas on their last day of summer vacation Snyder plans to kidnap the boys blah blah blah sounds excellent the synopsis for three ninjas kick back starts with during a championship baseball game Rocky cold and Tom Tom have to decide to go to Japan to help their grandfather. Mory Tanaka or stay for the baseball game The baseball game I guess presumably but they knew they had to take the dagger to him Okay, a child wrote this I just checked the IMDB page of Michael Alaska the second who played cult in three ninjas high noon at make a mountain and the top post on his message board is Worst haircut in the history of cinema.

That's right. I'm talking three ninjas high noon at make a mountain And guess what? This was written on Monday March 27th 2006 and I am the author of it I wrote that in 2006 nine years ago, and I followed up with a really mean comment I said if I was this guy I'd have killed myself after this kid I just finished watching the movie. Oh my god.

I love the way that you wrote it like people were expecting you like the worst hair kind of all time That's right. I'm talking about three inches high noon at mega mountain exactly what you were thinking Lord he went on after being in this movie to have an appearance as a young Benny in an episode of mr. Show with Bob and David so at least he's done something he can be proud of I also like so I've decided a child wrote a lot of these Plots and opses and the plots and hops this of three ninjas not a lot just sounds great because of the way that they've worded this It makes it sound like like the villain in like a crude video game or something because it starts out It says rocky cold and tum tum must battle an evil wealthy toxic waist dumper In order to save a local Indian tribe and their friend Joe Well, I just like that. I want there to be an evil wealthy toxic waist dumper We're taking a sampling from all of their IMB pages Matthew butouches who played rocky I believe he did play rocky in three ninjas high noon at mega mountain.

This is not the top post but it is my favorite one the The subject is pizza Comerical and the question is is he in that pizzia commercial with the scooter? I could be a lot of pizza commercial commercial commercial commercial. Wow. Okay.

Here's some more excellent facts about three ninjas I assume we're done with the question. Yeah anything else from the mail back. Yeah, no, no We're continuing three ninjas talking about Hogan tangential budget the budget for the first three ninjas movie was six point five million And it made twenty nine million which led them to for the second one sink twenty million dollars into the second one And it only grossed eleven million and in the next two were straight to DVD and grossed Four hundred and thirteen thousand and three hundred and seventy five thousand respectively while both three ninjas knuckle up and three ninjas Hiding a mountain accrued zero percent ratings on I Do look at the second one is called kickback though implying that they did not kick in the first movie They just got what kind of fun. They're like relaxing to just kick it back Yeah, I'm just like sitting in a lazy boy.

Yeah. Oh God And we'll move in now man. Are you guys sure you don't want to hear this one critic review of? Okay, abrasively loud gratingly acted appallingly directed and without a mortal core this three ninjas also boasts a screenplay with the most Ons of the decade that exquisite sound you make when trying to annihilate another human with your foot or a karate chop That's also a review of our podcast Yeah, it's this is definitely gratingly acted and appallingly I think it's time though for the is it the hf4 it's post yes, it's time.

You were looking at the computer and you said hey podcasters Come check this oot It is the hf4 it's post of the week now I had a bully or bad post that was it was a good billy or bad post It was nothing special and then a friend of the show and the only good one of the only good posters on hf4 it's vervidecus Send in and hf4 it's posted the week so it's the first time for everything and this is unbelievable and this comes from Conor McKindoo And I'll read just excerpts of it and I'll just get to the last sentences what does it? So he is he's pro-bending he loves Jim Benning and I should say that this is in reference to a poll on the Vancouver Canucks HF4 page the poll question is do you have confidence in management going forward? Which I will say before you get to the poll results It seemed like a month ago when we were in the early stages of the podcast speaking out against Lord Bennington was like a banable offense Yeah, yeah, there weren't as many anti-benning posters or as I like to call them normal like smart people and here we are So the question is do you have confidence in management going forward? Here's the options one.

Yes, we're building for the present future to rarely optimistic three still too early to judge one We're another and four I have more confidence in a potato Yeah, the most positive answer the option. Yes, that 20 votes rarely optimistic 25 still too early to judge 34 votes And I have more confidence a potato a hundred and eighty three votes So you can see what the general well the potato would not be able to make any move exactly and that's better than what he's done It's just the implication But anyway, so Connor says I voted for the first choice which was yes We're building for the present in the future and I'll read some of this stuff The presence of Miller allowed lack to grow into his role and fill in nicely when Miller went down He posted this today and lack is no longer on the team Canucks have character guys in Sutter Preston Thor said on the team well getting rid of Zac Cassian talented yet flaky player So I guess the way saying there's they have less talent and that's a good thing I do have issues I do have issues with the contracts of speeds at door set and Sutter But also understand why Benning made those signings, so I guess he just kind of cancels himself out He says I do have issues with the contracts But I understand why they were made and then he ends it with the best sentence I've heard in a while Jim Benning is Vancouver's version of the Dark Knight Which I don't really even know that means I haven't seen the Dark Knight for a while I guess it's like he's the hero we deserve or whatever that fucking quote is why is he trading players dad because we have to chase him Maybe there's like a dark knight we don't know about where it's like this old like King Arthur type tale about a knight who was blind And so everything was dark and he was really bad. I traded all of his best nights Yeah, exactly anyway, that's that's the HF Ward's poster the week. Thank you to vervidekis for sending that in that's that's a very good one Yeah, that was a pretty solid HF Ward closely and that will do it for the sports portion of the podcast Just for the record.

I will say Jim Benning is better than a potato is so potato can't talk So I feel like Jim Benning looks at every reporter asking a question the way that everyone looks at every Jim Benning trade He looks at the reporters asking question the way I would look at a potato if you ask me a question Yeah, or the way that you would look at like a porn actor sliding A little disgusted but kind of intrigue very intrigued I don't know why we needed a call back Time we were talking about porn that's gonna be a mess that's gonna be one good thing is Review One good thing the portion of the program the final portion of the program where we talk about things that we actually like to be They from the world of sports pop culture whatever they happen to be things we enjoy the cherry on top of our single Sunday Joe and who wants to start us off? Oh sure do what I don't okay sounds good Shit all right. I don't know what my I Can go first. Yeah, you go first.

Okay. I was on the train today and there was I'm sorry I'm just I'm between a few things. Okay. Well, there was an ad in the train station And it's an ad for the BC Lions for oh, yeah, this is great And I don't I guess the idea they must have realized what they were saying when they made this ad and wanted people to take pictures And share it which is exactly what I did so it's a picture.

It's a bunch of BC Lions fans like big greasy sweaty Lions fans They're famous There's men and women there's a lot of people there from New Westminster and the caption is and what they're banging a drum And the caption is we bang together join us So I don't know how that got like past the marketing department I guess like I'm taking a picture of him sending out to 60,000 Twitter followers. We're talking about on the podcast So mission accomplished. I think they had to know It was anyway, this is the thing too I feel like a lot of people who are like actually swingers in real life look like that and go lines Yeah, like it's not like it's not they're like romantic like or like well not romantic But like I deal that like you get from like, you know These articles written in vice or whatever they talk about these like upscale sex But it's like most of the time swingers parties are nothing you want to be a shirtless football fan Yeah, exactly. I was feeling that half the people in that advertisement didn't even know that it was for a football Oh, I'm sure yeah, well, yeah, like see how games are basically swinger party like 25,000 people Yeah, basically.

That's why the league still afloat. It's the only reason to go to the games You put your keys in a jar away into the game, but that's only because you're not allowed to drive home Are we gonna keep already? No, no Mothers against drunk That's one good thing though is the we bang together ad I like it okay, well I'll show it out since we were actually just talking about mad It made anytime I think about mothers against drunk driving I don't makes me always think of Charlie Dameris who's one of my favorite Vancouver comedians He has a joke about mothers against drunk driving about how that's just like the best charity name of all time because like how do you not? He's like it's like these women that nourished you and gave you life and gave birth to you and you loved and everyone loves their mother Against like one of the worst things in the world like how could you not give money them?

He's like it's like the coalition for puppies It's like the coalition for puppies in favor of hugs like it's just like everybody's he's like I don't know how you wouldn't just give it up to them So anyway, I totally butchered that joke. I'm sorry Charlie But he is one of my favorite comedians in Vancouver and also in Canada and yeah, so you could check him out I don't know why I don't use the space to plug local comedians more often So maybe I will do that from now on but you can check him out on Twitter at Charles Dameris D M E R S And he performs around the city a lot He also has a five dollar special available online that you can check out and he's a regular guest on CBC's the debaters It's also a little bit like comedy podcasts against Hitler, but we're actually the only one of those yeah We're the only one I think I came out as like pro-hiller briefly last week. Yeah, but it was like an accident. Yeah I just left out.

Yeah, all right. My one good thing is is live wrestling events I went to two of them in the last 48 hours and squeeze it in if you don't like enjoy Like watching it on TV. There's definitely something to it in person that is more amazing the things that they do We got treated to a great triple threat match between Randy Orton Kevin Owens and Cesaro last night Which was incredible But even the house showing Vancouver on Saturday was so much fun And the best part is like you know We're going as dudes in our 20s late 20s And you know we just lucked out in that both nights I got seated in the vicinity of like an entire row full of kids who were just so into it I got lucky just so into it and like yeah, like like Brooke gave you shit John about like going to something that's scripted where yeah Because my girlfriend know the results which we don't really know. They know what about the girlfriend?

Oh, yeah, yeah break down break down This is bullshit because I thought I was I said you're gonna break up by episode nine operating under the premise that we were recording every Two weeks in the summer. Yeah, it was but then we got like popular or whatever now we're doing it every week And so this is like bullshit like you're I feel like you're gonna make it to episode Like 15 or so or what? I don't know whatever double 918 regardless it is scripted But it's malleable like if you go to it live you can change something within the event now clearly people Demanding Daniel Bryan chanting his name doing the yes chant all that stuff It's one of the best chants in fake sports in real sports at the moment I love Daniel Bryan and people demanded that he be popular and he got to win the main event of WrestleMania as a result So it's malleable in that way, but also I'm a very loud person gentlemen You know that and I'm bragging about a fake sport I'm aware of that I'm gonna do the show on Sunday night at Pacific Coliseum And the main event was Bray Wyatt versus Roman Reigns in a street fight They went outside the ring so that Bray could set up like one of the steel steps vertically so that he could later be whipped Into it that was the purpose of them going outside the ring at that point if you're looking at it from a practical sense But because I'm so loud and because I had a bunch of kids behind me who would jump in on any chant that I started I started a we want tables chant which Roman Reigns heard me chanting He lifted up the apron to go under the ring to get a table Which got a huge ovation and then Bray Wyatt stopped him from doing that and slammed the things shot which got massive booze And that moment would never have happened within that match if I had not started a we want tables chant So is it scripted? Yes, but it's malleable and you get to affect it if you yell about people there and being loud and yell about tables They will give you tables.

Yes, the way I know like the way you just like obviously they smash the tables and stuff Oh eventually, yeah, I throw the guy through the table, but I just kind of like the idea of just like we just want to see like a table Yeah, I don't actually throw anyone through it. Maybe put some chairs out there Well, there were some like great like the when the duddlies were wrestling They would do like the heels that would wrestle the duddlies they were famous for putting people through tables They would be like they would bring the table out but never use it just to like piss off the crowd like not put anyone through it Just like oh you want a table? Here's one? The tablecloth trick we put a bunch of like glassware on and you pull out the tablecloth that would get a pretty big round of It's like the the guy that you're trying to put to the table is like tied to the tablecloth so when you rip it He goes smashing on through there you go.

It's brilliant. That's the one that'll be a magic trick slash wrestling move to be seen in the WWE hopefully at some point But yeah, it's you know, it's all right on TV It's so much fun when you go to it live so that is my one good thing for the week step and I recommend a BC Lions ad that runs in print and you can see it on public transit John recommends comedian Charlie Demers and Justin recommends live Wrestling events we haven't the plug before wrapped things up here gentleman Yeah, so I'm still plugging the same shows as plugging before because they haven't happened yet But I will be doing my first ever headlining sets at yach yachts in Vancouver August 21st and 22nd And I also just found out I'm gonna be opening up for bill Bellamy at yach yachts on Sunday this Sunday August 16th So if you're listening in Vancouver Bellamy is a star of a couple death jam comedy vehicles He's currently in Vancouver filming kindergarten cop too.
