88 - Gord Save The Queen

from Real Good Show

This week on the show that's taking that for data, mixed emotions abound for the Real Good Boys, as the Leafs have yet to be eliminated but John's already pre-emptively cool with it if they get knocked out (Ron Howard voice: "They're out."), while Justin's still salty about trading away Zack Kassian and Stefan is about as apathetic and tapped out as he's ever been. I also coulda sworn we talked about Tryamkin, but that must have been before we were recording. Whoops! PLUS: Kevin Costner's Waterworld! Breaking in to concerts! Justin Bieber! And being on the ice with the Queen. What do you mean?

It's brute might that it will have no problem pushing the door open and wandering all the way back to Russia at the end of the season Episode number 88 of course I believe I said that already Justin Morris that with you and with me once again as always is Stefan heck sorry. I'm not I actually am kind tired. Yeah, yeah John. This is such a boring No, I like John Colin episode 88 the episode that Stefan put two hundred and fifty dollars on the table and set it on fire technically his dad did all It was a birthday present Stefan's dad's put the money on the table.

He got his own days Yeah, five hundred dollars on the table. It's like a protesters like a matching couple's So we're gonna wear it to wear it to the summer summit and which apparently they're having it I don't know why like the fact I'm the fact that they've I just saw one I might have been on a chat board Or it was a screenshot of an email or something But I did see a mention of a summer summit so the fact that they're having it leads me to think that there's still like front office changes To happen because if it was just linen banning like they're not gonna get roasted to get destroyed So they're gonna or they're like maybe they're radically changing what the summer sub it's gonna be maybe It's just I mean Lyndon still refuses to say the word rebuild so like right So insane to me so yeah, I would imagine that most of the questions from the audience if they did take questions would be just Are you capable as a human being of saying the word rebuild? Yeah, can you say it with me? Yeah?

It's not hard Builds it's two syllables. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my god.

Are you talking to go with that with you or can I come along? If we're both there, I think we're both gonna go and wear our jerseys, but yeah, you can come if my dad's down I would love to cause some trouble. Yeah, I'm on a microphone and say some pointed things get some feelings off my chest Yeah, I've got a lot of things. I want to say love the yellow about Zac Tassian Oh, why would you do that because they just have given shit away like throughout their entire tenure?

Zac Cassian is not the correct hill to die on well. There's a lot of There are a lot of hill you want about 50. I mean, it's not a great hill to die But that's how we came into this show basically that trade there It's like episode two or three that I'm just yelling about Cassian is so bad that the Cassian's like I forgot about how bad the Brandon Press trade was for like two years. He's got a lot care 85 episodes later I'm still eager to yell about the country.

It's just a lot of oh, they retired Billy Joel's number at the garden No, it's just the number of performances he's done there. Oh, I just never He changed it every single month. They were tired every month. Yeah, every month possible.

It's at 86 86 times I'm sure he doesn't literally like every month or for a year He was doing like a monthly show of Madison Square Garden. It's pretty dumb You'd think you'd just run out of people to perform to you at some point, but there's people love Billy Joel. Yeah, yeah So regardless, yeah, what are we even talking about? I don't remember all you guys your team is dumb and You guys are both down.

Yeah, yeah, I love the people who are like well, you know, there's no guarantee that he ever would have been this player in Vancouver It's like no, he already was this player like he already was as good or maybe even better than this player When he who's this player like the guy that he is right now and I'm see but he no Cassian Oh, okay. Well, we can let's go back to tramp. I'm gonna talk about Cassian. Well, I'm just I'm just addressing well I just agree.

I just agree. He was not in a good place news here Yeah, but you know what else you didn't get any sort of help at all. They just cut him loose I mean who knows you don't know that I guess that's true in some ways in like the way that I said it It is true, but like It is true that you know, I think we're at the point with this with this management group though Where you can just assume the worst yeah, right? And it's generally safe to do so and like you look at the pattern that is formed over the last several years of You know this management group pointing the finger at their kids and saying you know these these millennials have entitlement issues Whether it's Jared McCann or Jake or Tannin or that Cassian or literally any rookie not in Bo Horvat that they've ever brought in They have seemed to have a huge attitude problem with literally like every single kid So at what point does that stop reflecting badly on all the kids and maybe is like saying something larger about the way that you're treating them in the first Place for sure.

Yeah, I agree But Cassian wasn't a rookie and he had a lot of severe problems and then they traded him to Montreal and he got drunk and crashed his car into a tree That's true. So I mean I think that he was gonna be a couple years away from getting better What had happened here? I don't know I have to give him credit for living in Edmonton and not drinking exactly exactly It's saying to me how you can live that place I'm gonna clean this see like Montreal giving up on him though Like make sense to me because they had no sunk cost like they hadn't invested anything in acquiring him They hadn't put the time into developing him as a player and literally they got him for like less than free They gave up a nothing player in Brandon pressed and got a pick like hey Gellis was right about the Hudson trade though Yeah, absolutely looks like so like them giving up on him when they literally are getting a draft for nothing already Like I don't have a ton of issues with that I do feel like Vancouver had some obligation to maybe help him more than they did and you're right that maybe they tried to and he Didn't want to get exactly But I don't know but I feel like they probably would I don't know wouldn't you try and make that defense when people are criticizing For that move like several years after the fact you mean the team would make that defense yeah that they tried to help him And he wouldn't do that though have I even said it himself He did the like in like they did the like inside the Rehast thing and he did the leak rehab thing and they said that he had done well Like he moved on to the second part of it I think when he was in Montreal I guess we did the first part of it in Vancouver I'm pretty sure so I guess I'm just wildly speculating. I mean what else do you like?

Exactly I think like I said I think it's a hot scoops that are wrong. Yeah the size of guys balls Well, that's true. That's 100% that's the only scoop we've ever broken on the show that's 100% The only thing bigger than these balls are his contract It's jock Balls have to get in there. That's true.

Yeah, but yeah, I don't know is there anything more to say well We can talk more about that, but we should think some people yeah I just I don't want to talk about the Canucks anymore. They're so miss so you're not interested in buying tickets to see them next year Well, I mean it's I don't know it's like there's the lottery right who knows it's gonna I mean they're gonna pick fifth it doesn't matter and like I was tweeting about it where it's like it's kind of a relief not having to care Yeah, we're talking about this last week. Yeah, but even like yesterday with like the cadre hit and stuff It's like I kind of like not having a good but like super borderline on the edge player like the connectors in offensive right now And like no one cares about them I feel like defending players like Kessler and frozen stuff is fucking exhausting and I'm tired of it two years that we've spent doing this show I've never seen you more apathetic than you are right now I just like because it just nothing's gonna change next year unless unless they firebending and like it's just not gonna change Or Lyndon is like forced to send him a fucking moron and Benning can barely Keep hearing that they are gonna force a mistake for a lot of like separate rumors It's just it's like completely unverified The Ralph Krueger thing could never fire him. Yeah, that would be bad.

No, he probably deserves it and like he absolutely does deserve it I don't know Yeah, it's I'm just like I said part of it is it is kind of nice not to care like as we watch all of these Skill players that were drafted by other teams because the Canucks refused to draft a pure skill player Yeah, who are doing great wonderful things for teams in the playoffs for the Maple Leafs even John You know it really comes back to the fact that like the fact that Trevor Lyndon is so revered as like oh my god The greatest can I ever yeah like is the problem? Yeah, he's not the greatest He's not good because William Melander would be better than him already. Oh, what about is already better than him I mean about the same yeah, but but like in a different area That's what the fact that he's even close should be like oh fuck. That's our best player ever Like he's not he's not he absolutely is not this town is always loved kind of like low talent grinders pretty much like they're and now Lyndon and Benning are like oh, that's what they like.

You like low talent grinders, eh? What was the town? I mean people here like Burre know yeah like they like worshiped him. Yeah, but then they're also like it was an enigmatic They were very quick to sour on him.

I feel like the PR spin when he was shipped out was extremely effective Yeah, but he was a weirdo He wasn't like at least like five or six years where I feel like Burre was reviled after he left It took a while for like people to be like yeah, he was good. No, obviously he was good Yeah, I don't know I didn't live here at that time But I just I seem to remember Burre being liked but I didn't know how much it because yeah like you say a lot of That's how you see her beloved. Absolutely. Okay.

Yeah, cuz a lot of the guys you yeah You're right a lot of the guys that they've had that they revere, you know, I really not good. Yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, that's like the brain trust now. Oh, yeah, so of course we're winding up with a bunch of those fucking players Yeah, you know, it's funny is that they look at that and they're like that's what I was that's good like and also like teams like Colorado and Get their old players to come help them out and it's a total disaster But those players won and it's still told us asked you got a bunch of fucking losers. Yeah, who like I don't know Before they hired Linden there was like some talk to that like oh Marcus Naslin might leave Moto But at least he was like experience and also yeah a had gm experience yeah be a skilled player who probably fucking appreciates pure Skill I would imagine I don't know.

I mean I think it would be nice just to have a guy who like went to school Running your 800 million dollar business, right? Like Jim Benning is not a smart person. Yeah, no doubt about that You must have gone to school well like high school. Maybe part.

I'm sure he went to university. No Right out of you. Why would you go on university? You got a lot of those guys though that go after that yeah, baby Do you listen to this guy talk?

I know I'm not saying he's smart like not to do that I mean when you hear him talk, it's like okay You don't judge a book by its cover, but we've read the book and not to judge a book by its title But his middle name is Elmer. Oh, that's kind of a why haven't we been calling him Elmer like the whole time? His dad is named Elmer's that's a scout for Edmonton or Montreal. I think he's Elmer the elder.

Yeah Elder Elmer Benny. She's is Christ. Yeah. I don't know That's just quit this episode.

Yeah. Oh, oh patcher Eddie's fighting Jimmy VC. That's a good good look for those currently being entertained by I'm hockey well, it's just shock and a sea patch already fight. I hope you see knocks about Oh, sir is even more entertaining.

Oh be there in the building wouldn't you say yes? Kick the shit out and be in the building would you not agree that you probably need to buy tickets? I think so. Yeah, I'm unless you like sneak in or something through the vents or like I don't know of course It's not just I'm here.

Yeah Yeah Well, it's a valley I guess you can just start on the mountain I Did a full like scan of the perimeter and I found like a weak point in there in there like okay solid snake Yeah, basically Where like the fence hit a bush basically and there was a bit of a clearing to fully make it under I had to clear like a bunch of boulders out from under the fence and then slide under you know You could have done that manual labor gotten paid for it and then bought the ticket and then And then after I've a bullet I've tried slid underneath the fence who was headline to like hide behind some portables in like a staff Only area and like make sure that nobody was like looking if I was truly solid snaking it I would like throw in a rock to make it Yeah, but once I figured I was in the clear that there was nobody around I just booked it into the if you were truly solid Snake you would have snuck up behind them and choked them to death. That's true I was a who is someone's neck a weezer. Oh, yeah, that's why I didn't okay. Yeah, so you just now John Butler trio headline The Saturday that was fucking great.

I would have paid for that you sneak in multiple days. Yes. Okay. Wait So you just you drove up there with no ticket just thinking like maybe I'll see I didn't even pay for campsite We camped on like a dried up riverbed and I'm like provincial land or whatever sure and it was like two minutes away From the festival grounds and yeah, then I broke into the park and watch the festival and I still get up by weezer Because weezer at this stage.

I mean and this was like five six years ago. Pork and beans era probably Yeah, they seemed like a bad cover band that occasionally covered weezer Yeah, like at one point they covered pumped up kicks by boss of the people hi But then and then rivers like fucked it up halfway through the song and instead of just like rolling with his little screw up He stopped the song and started over I'm talking about rivers It was like the worst thing I've ever seen at a huge concert like that We've seen weezer a couple times the one time was very weird It was like so they had they had make believe came out and there was like a four-year gap between maladwat and make believe and then When make believe was about to come out I didn't come out yet They were doing a club tour to promote it so they played the Commodore and it was their first show in like four years And they all just stood there they didn't move not once like rivers didn't move one time He moved to like play his guitar, but that was all I think he was like cripplingly nervous Yeah, and it was like also touring make believe which is probably their worst album They played most of it they only played one song off of Pinkerton and it was just horrible What are the blue album? They played like two or three songs off the blue album? No, it was tired of sex and or get you yeah So stupid and then so then the next time I saw them Tokyo police club was opening for them Tokyo police club and Angels and airwaves and oh, yeah, so good and I was just talking about this And your friend Graham right?

I was like well, he's in that band Yeah, well and Graham right was there yeah, and and then it was awesome like that It was like the total opposite of that it was like a super fun show They played like all the hits they were seeing like a great mood They were all they had trampolines on the stage and they were jumping all over the place And that was when they were doing the weezer hootenannies where they would get like 30 people at From the city that played an instrument to like all learn a couple I think they played Island in the Sun and Beverly Hills was where the hootenannies on city thrown together slap-dash orchestra Yeah, exactly so it's like you could just have like a guy playing trumpet and a guy playing cuz you Yeah, yeah, it was dope. That's it was super fun. So yeah, that was a great show But if you wanted to get tickets to that show yes I Have been inclined to buy tickets to squamish honestly had I been able to score a sweet deal But I could not so I scored the sweetest deal of all that was back before Haps were even a thing I think probably Back when the only app you get was at a restaurant Jesus Christ, I like that. Thank you.

Are you fucking clapped? I Say like you have so much to live for it You're like I have so much to live for because you're alive I have so much to live for and you happen to be a part of it. So if you kill yourself that would really fuck up my shit That sounds a lot more like you But whether you want to go to the NHL playoffs the NBA playoffs and MLS regular season game or any number of concerts coming to your town The best place to buy tickets of course or to sell tickets if you might want to do that instead You can do that too is with seekie because the smartest easiest way to get tickets live events with seekie seamless mobile experience You can buy and sell tickets and just two taps seeking helps you find two taps the best seats at the best Right to tap fully guaranteed you select the seat and then you click by the seat and then I think it asks you to Hear about the 3 tap Did you hear about the bugle the bugle player who messed up his song halfway through and he had to restart it again? He played two taps two taps, but not about my entire sexual history Of course they help you find the best seats of the best prices fully guaranteed There's nothing quite like senior favorite team in the playoffs or musician in concert Let me just bring something up here Justin.

Yeah, I'm gonna say ticket master is a bad option Don't use it. It sucks and use seeking is like why do you ever use any other option? But like seeking is the only one to choose basically. Yeah, that's the only choice.

Yeah, you're not supposed to say their name Oh, you're not even supposed to say that we're not even bastard Yeah ticket bastard. Oh, yeah, like we're not so we're not allowed, but that's okay. You can bleep it out. That'll be funnier.

Fuck it master Yeah, fuck it. There's that sounds a lot cool. Okay. Yeah, that sounds good.

See it gets you closer to the action for a great value Something that you will not get from those other guys. That's what they call me the fucking master We have the other guys. Yeah, other guys here's where I can say other guys now and then you you cut it over when I said Know what's cool. Okay, ready other guys.

Okay. Yeah other guys and I think what's good about seeking is they employ women That's true. I mean it's all the other guys. There's a lot of guys Every every person that we interact with over there is a lady.

Yeah, absolutely Nice ladies. We all have the app on our phone I use it all the time just to see what concerts are coming Absolutely, I honestly think the best thing about it is even if I don't know that there's a concert coming up It knows what music I have on my phone already and we'll send you push notifications based on those artists That's very cool. That seems invasive. I'm gonna be honest.

That seems invasive I don't like a free you to album on my phone. That's true. That's lesson based. I mean, that's a great album So that was a really nice gift to be doing this.

Yeah, he's just like bragging about it He's like bragging like I never like I literally never practice. It's like it's like the most boring thing in the world to me Like I'll try and find it. Yes.

We have two people to thank first of all Christopher do bro Possibly do brow. It could be do brow. I'm gonna say brow. Yeah, we're like Or do you bro?

Yeah, you could say he's a friend of your show also Yes, he is a friend of my show as well pod caps FC with me and Chris James and if you've been listening We've got a lot of stuff going on. We're suing the white caps very plot driven.

It is not expecting same Serialize yes beautiful. Yeah, just if you ever wanted to if you're ever like you know what too much straight talk about the white caps I hope to white comedians invent a backstory where one of them got kicked out of this house and is now homeless That doesn't seem too far removed from the truth. Yeah, Chris lives in the dump anyway I play I play when I have thanks Josh, thank you Chris and Josh. Yeah, I play when I have to I don't Practice ever if we're gonna write a song I'll play but I don't sit around and play my base ever not even on my most boring day I used to practice back in the day, but I mean I'm not about practicing today I'm more about creating songs and we only do that when we're in a room together I don't just sit around watching TV practicing or trying to make songs up It's not like what being a musician is only job, but he's made millions and millions of dollars in this stupid man You know what good for him?

Congratulations Reginald fieldy RV zoo Absolutely, I want to call him Reg if I ever saw him and be like Reggie what up? Hey, well we started the episode on a note kind of full of despair, which is how it feels to be a connoisseur Always yeah, your team sucks fucking balls. I do like there are some positive hockey feelings this week to run to me believe I was gonna ask you about that because the last time I recorded with pure elation. Yeah, that like Tempered a little bit.

No, I mean you can't there's been so many over 10 So the series is very very very close series is tied You've not had a seven nothing below it. No, no, so the series is tied I believe the it's goals. It's 16 15 and goals for Washington the shots are a hundred and seventy five to a hundred and seventy five That's crazy It's been a very even series and games I mean the caps are like we're the odds on favorite to win the cup and we were the last place team of the 16 in the playoffs And we're staying right with them the kids look good like Matthews and knee-lander look more comfortable every single game Jake Gardner appears to like he might be actually like a legit number one demon like it's been playing fantastic Yeah, it's just been really fun to watch Obviously crushing that they lost especially the last game the loss and overtime was just due to a poorly made poor The poor defensive play and a missed coverage, but overall it's been fun Slash stressful to watch but it's been good like it's just fun that they're actually competing and it's good to watch if they lose tomorrow or lose game Seven, yeah, it's fine. You know, you can't be upset with what's happened, but I was gonna say this is like year 12 of a Of a batch and versus year one of Austin Matthews.

Oh, yeah, baby. No, exactly. No, exactly. You know, like knee-lander's been ridiculous Yeah, so that's even gonna play in game six.

Oh, yeah, he's fine. Oh, he's a coke He's like I just I just I can't do it. I just I don't I just there I went into the dressing room and I was like give me a cook a very good That's a bit better it's like an overdone like golden I ration like a bond to them like show me your papers Yes, exactly your paper. Yeah, he's like, oh, I just go watch game.

I have coke and I relax It was funny that one of the Washington beat reporters was telling some stories about Oh, vech in and So he said that I guess he actually key there is a Gatorade bottle on their bench that's filled with Coke and he drinks A lot of the Russian guys now can have coke sometimes to you and Chara there was that clip of Chara having the coke on the bench They see it Alex go to quiet room and have time out and I say yet. That's a pretty good accent. Yeah, it doesn't sound like Finally a voice I can do It's not just like you in various pitches No, Benings more fog horn like Yeah, a little more southern in it. Oh well, are we brouting here?

So I did yeah, but you okay to be deeper in the south. You did have a There was a distinct bending impression for a little while there So anyway, there's also apparently ovechkin lost his hockey bag that says number eight on it So he now uses the one that says 69 And yeah, he's a good guy that's that's beautiful Yeah, I was cribbed episode it might have been just done from like the team did it I think oh Yeah, I do remember it was like a newish apartment that he just moved into and like his mom or his dad was 24 7 because they showed it on 24 7 and Yeah, it was like a separate like crib stuff. He's got a fridge just filled with vodka Yeah, he's very proud of like his marble countertop. Okay, I didn't see that part definitely on 24 7 his mom was like making him Russian food Yeah, he was like sitting there in front of the TV playing video.

Yeah We'll see I didn't know all the Leafs players live with their parents like Mitch marner lives with his mom Well, and Austin Matthews lives with his dad so his parents are at every game, right? Yeah His dad lives in Toronto, but his mom I think lives in Arizona But I guess comes up and stays with them or whatever so they're just like the good polite boys Yeah, they're just a beautiful bunch of young lads nobody has to live in Brendan Shanahan's basement. No, exactly. No some for some reason I mean, that's like a potential sitcom.

I guess oh, yeah, or at least like one of those like behind the scenes oil change style Docu series on just like getting all these rookies together to live in Brendan Shanahan's house with him and then Lou Lamarell is like played by Ed Asner Tankerous neighbors, yeah exactly you do a sequel to the oil change series That's 10 seconds long and it's just saying the ambulance are proud to select Conor McDavid That should be the entire sequel. She can I'm saying? Yes? Yeah, cuz that's their fucking rebuild.

Yeah, I needed Do you wanna like redo that wonder? I didn't expect a big loud I thought I do love it They're like real human people who exist in the world to totally believe that the recent Edmonton is good this year is because they traded Taylor Hall for David doing McDavid things has nothing to do with McDavid It's all the fact that we got Hall out of there and he was really the problem holding us back I mean, I think I to be fair there's something to be said about I do think Taylor Hall is an absolute moron and from everything you hear Total asshole in the dressing room I don't think that that's not the reason that the team has changed But all I'm saying is I can see why a dumb fan would be yeah, yeah Haul's a dick and you gotta you gotta have character guys in your in your room I just think of the Oilers had tapes man. We'd be a fucking win the cup every year man There was that unbelievable anecdote that made the rounds though a few months ago where Hall was like out celebrating hard after scoring the game winning goal and Glenn Anderson happened to be at the bar that they were at yes And was like hey, buddy like maybe slow it down celebrate like when you get 55 more of those That was the franchise leader in game and goals and he said yes congratulations on scoring the fourth goal in an 8-3 victory 57 times Oh, yeah, I think all is like I definitely think all is One Ryan Ryan Whitney's tweet is still one of the best I'm they're playing hangman. Yeah, and it's like he's like everly or it was like Hall can't figure out that this is banana split And everly thinks banana has three ends in it Because it was like it was like it was like blank a N a N a blank PL blank T Is like yeah, yeah, Halsey can't figure out this is the name Oh my god, what a moment and what Clemson So good, yeah, the pose is so great to Oh my god, that would have been probably our clip of the week because like the audio of it is so great to go to the week we have it Let's see where it's at Our clip of the week segment great clips of the week exactly super cuts of the week So the week this week comes to us from Memphis grizzly's coach David Fisdale as he unloads on the officiating in the NBA playoffs Very poorly officiated basketball game Zach Randolph the most rugged guy in the game had zero free throws But somehow Kawhi Leonard had 19 free throws first half we shot 19 points shots 19 shots in the paint and we had six free throws They shot 11 times in a paint that had 23 free throws.

I'm not a numbers guy But that doesn't seem to add up overall 35 times we shot the ball in the paint We had 15 free throws for the game They shot 18 times in a painting had 32 free throws Kawhi shot more free throws in our whole team explain it to me We don't get the respect that these guys deserve because my colleague doesn't go crazy He asked class and he just plays the game, but I'm not gonna let them treat us that way You know, I know Pops got pedigree and I'm a young rookie, but they're not gonna rook us That's unacceptable. I was unprofessional my guys dug in that game and earned the right to be in that game and they did not even give us a chance Take that for data My favorite part of that is he's got the he's got your breathing kind of going on when you rant you get you do some like heavy breathing Between like your pauses when you're pausing stuff and you can hear him he's like It's like take that for data aggravated Like the raised heart rate. Yeah, that's just and ran. He's keeping he's got the Justin breathing I just love how it has the feeling of an off-the-cuff impact guys guys is it too late to say sorry?

Well now you have to What do you mean? I would rather drown in cold water It has the feeling of like an impassioned off the cuff rant but because of the stats element it also looks like he's reading a prepared statement The entire time and just getting really really fiery about it. I know he's Or I think it's holding the playoffs like I think if you if you skipped over the clip of the week and you just want like a Summary he's basically saying to the refs. Where are you now?

I? Mean Kawai is a better player than anyone on the Grizzlies so that also kind of probably makes sense as a star factor so much for sure I mean not just that he's a star and would get favorable calls But I understand he would they would be playing him more aggressively because he is an unbelievable basketball player for sure I'd have to play for sure and you have to think that like probably the Grizzlies were fouling him with purpose. I would hope so But fuck you at the same time. Goddamn it.

Oh, I got suckered into that one. Yes, you did. Yes, you did Yes, you did take that for data though Oh, and I the thing I loved about that is like how hard Memphis leaned into it and just made take that for data shirts Like instantly well and like we're all over we should have a segment where we if like dark guy is the fucking Everybody's rocking dark guy t-shirts and hats and face paint I think people make all those themselves like I don't think the Leafs are making dark guys of course But but that would be sick if I believe from watching Jeff's Twitter over the last couple days that the Leafs were actually handing out Officially team-printed posters and signs that said hashtag beliefs are actually good. Oh, yeah I heard something they didn't brace that for at least the first two games for sure So it's not like there hasn't been some So take that take the clip there they take that for data or how's that for data?

We do a segment where we have like weird sports stats, you know like a funny like unbelievable sports stats and it's just called take that for Data that'd be a good segment idea. Yeah, that sounds pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty strong enough. We're just kind of brains I don't know if I could bring back a segment this week.

Did you know what? What's the weather? Oh, yeah, that's a great segment because our Our little league game got canceled today apparently. We didn't know that's a way to the game and no one was there Yeah, it's very weird didn't really seem to be raining very much So I would be correct as I was before when I said it was a drizzle when you guys roasted me I feel like today was today was a day was raining a bit harder this morning, but I mean it was so nice yesterday You know what's been another edition of what's the web?

Old segment back to data. Oh, yeah, because well I'll tell you guys all right just before we get to that. Yeah, um, do you know what Captain Kirk said when one of the members of his crew Forgot the phaser take that for data Make sure I mean they run on the same data data was a data. I don't care.

I'm not fucking nerd. Okay. Here we go nerd Yeah Whatever guys, so it's fine if you're like mad about that Single thing. Yes, I as long as like overall I just like when I hear a comment like that I just have to ask like what did you mean?

I already use that one? I know I know I know many I don't know anymore Justin your beaver knowledge goes I know you're upset, but as long as you love me. That's really what matters Not a backstreet boys. No, no backstreet boys is the way that As long as you love me.

That's the chorus. I don't know if that's the name of the song Justin Bieber one is as long as you love me featuring big Sean Regardless should we get to that second that we're we could be starving we could be broke I'm not enough of the beaver this episode. You've had enough of the beaver. What do you mean?

Why is it beaver there? Yeah, you've had enough of the beaver. What do you mean? Great joke real solid real solid delivery.

I think when you do the third time it's funny, right? I've heard a rule of threes. I've heard of having enough of the beaver, but enough of the beaver. Yeah.

Oh my gosh What do you mean? Yeah, exactly. Oh, let's bring it back Hang out a race per hour if you throw your own employee through a crash How do you like when he slaps you in a face? How do you do it?

You're yelling my wife. You guys think this is okay. I have a reputation and I have to protect it and you will destroy it I'm leaving. I'm not risking you far.

Stefan what happened with John Tapper this week? John Tapper wished me a happy birthday on Twitter I thought it was it was very nice. You helped with that. So Karen Geyer a couple of people who are important and do not deserve to be mentioned What did Karen was like at the credit?

Justin needs a good percentage of the credit. He can't sell off any of his credit I think Karen was verified and so he would get the application what I have to back that yeah, it's very important back I know but it was that was cool and then I went to his page and he was wishing a happy birthday And I'm like I kind of take so he felt less special. Yeah, that kind of makes no sense. He said buddy though Which is nice, you know, yeah, it's like had a birthday buddy.

Yeah I mean there was like a grass roots ground swell movement to get him to wish you were a birthday and he decided to shut it down Well, but that implies that he was like saying no to the well Stop the movement by answering the call. Yeah, but it ended where like that and that the movement succeeded. What do you mean? Honestly guys, I did another Justin Bieber pun in there and he didn't even get it.

It was too good and also Wait, sorry. Would you say now that he's wished you a happy birthday that he's like basically your boyfriend? No, we have not been past this at all. It's fine and don't worry about it.

That's okay I just got the feeling that I You were having like a bit of a lull there like confidence wise maybe in terms of how you're feeling. Yeah, and so Yeah, just getting the so him telling you happy birthday. Did that make you love yourself? I Can't even know a lot of these songs.

That's a pretty popular one. You guys just you pause and then Yeah, okay, so you pause and then and then say a phrase I'm like okay. Well, that's that's a song Well, we got your back because you know, we're pretty good But it's so be like me doing like this like well, you know, I know what you're talking about but Hitler's asshole You if you pause and said that I'd be like just be very a song I'll hit there's asking. Well, I'm gonna say we're just good Company is it called your company or just company?

Without out of the time travel. I believe okay. All right. Well, but any game just to go back to what you're saying before life is worth living Yes, it is and let's get to our top three questions of the week If you don't feel that life is worth living, I'll show you I like it.

He just has the Justin Bieber In front of my head I just have this all in my head. This is all right up here. Well, I listen to music that is enjoyable Justin Bieber's God how could you say his music is not enjoyable? That's an insane take I don't enjoy it.

This music is crazy enjoyable. What do you mean? You know what I mean, I'll show you It's fucking really enjoyable. Oh All agree the purpose of this episode is to We don't talk about It's good.

Yeah, top three questions about good feelings. You took that to mean leafs things I was talking about Chicago just flaming out the top three questions of the week Hey, yo, it's the top three questions of the week on real good show. You know what the fuck it is bitch Motherfucker Russell You missed it by like a full bar that was great Yeah, Chicago is out Patrick Kane is a little wussy baby And I'm taking it so well. Yes.

All right question number three comes from Taehoon Kim He's Smith indeed, sorry, I apologize to all of our white listeners I think probably just so you know, it's not too late to say sorry to all the white listeners Well, if if he's on the fence you want to speak on them up to like 200 points, maybe no Which of these sports ceremonies would you replace and what would you replace it with puck drop coin toss first pitch? I I'll go first. I would replace first pitch with first hit And then a pitcher from the MLB team pitches to a plead batter until they get in that and where they are all night That is the best I just won the question. Yeah, like a celebrity civilian.

Yeah has the hit off a pro pitcher. Yeah, obviously I could do it Yeah, of course you could do it. I'm sure you do it was a woman I'm sure you can do it now. You just live down quite a bit drew And he got that great hair plug dye job thing going on.

I have no sister. It looks like he has like a wasting disorder Yeah, it's not good for sure. That's I mean that's a good answer right there I can't really I would replace the puck drop with like Like if we bring like a celebrity out or like the queen or whatever Instead of dropping the puck they have to respond to a clean hit by trying to fight someone Like yeah, there's just be the two captains line up and just kind of bump each other completely clean Yeah, and then like the queen trying to fight the opposition guy well, I guess I'll have to replace the coin toss because you have the other two I would replace the coin toss with The first hit if to hit a movie pitcher is throwing the ball and the person has to hit it instead of the coin toss Well, well Don Cherry's suit looks like he murdered like yeah It was in his kill room before the show started I see when they showed again It's pretty insane. I know that other people besides the queen do the ceremonial puck drop Yeah, that's a big one though, but I only bring that up because I don't know if you two know this about me But I was actually there I was on the ice for that puck drop what yeah I sang the anthem during the queen puck drop game.

Is there a choir? Yes Yeah, oh my god. Yeah, so I was on the ice. It was me.

Holy shit Oh my god It was me a bunch of other boys in the choir the queen Marcus and Adland and Mike Ricci That was the ceremonial puck drop. I really loved it. The queen had to meet Mike Who is maybe the most hockey player looking hot like just a stereotypical like he's like the ugliest man alive Oh my gosh, I didn't see that. Oh, they hit in the corner there.

That's all the guy that Yeah, stall he went like neck first in the boards if he wasn't a hockey player He'd be like a model on which they base like mannequins that go into natural history museums Mike reach like in the end of the Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely Okay, good question I was on the ice pretty cool queen puck drop. Did you get to meet her? No? No, I mean you know shake hands with the queen do you like I think a lot of people do I think that's kind of her thing she does like a handshake line in your shaker and I don't know I don't know what I'm sure you didn't then because I would hope you would remember it mom when I sang on the ice Did I shake hands?

Remember? I feel like that'd be a pretty moment you would remember at least I At least I assume so yeah, you dumb fucking idiot. Of course you did sugar hand. Oh, man.

Good times Okay question number two comes in from Kevin Matigan at riot survivor at asks conux calm Would you rather have Brad March on as a father-in-law or Patrick Kane as a son of this is maybe Brad March on as a father-in-law for sure. Yeah, he's kind of I mean so he's he did the whole Where there was a guy Spouting like homophobic stuff and his mentions and Brad March on like shamed him publicly true So there's that and also he's kind of like a dick on the ice But he and like when he jokes around like a party so when you're other have that father a lot of like a press He's not like strict crazy guy And I do feel like we talked about on the show last week how like getting married and having a kid has like settled him down Yeah, the only downside is that his daughter would have a fucking beak on her right realistically. Oh, you got to marry his like Well, you're in in law right? That's true.

Yeah. Well, also she's a baby. Yeah It's a presents a problem In this imagine Baby is a no, she's like two years old Yes Hypothetical scenario she's up. She's up.

I'm a baby Yeah back in time as a baby that's the bonus question this week what is easier I feel like it wouldn't be that difficult to ingratiate yourself to him as like the cool step that or father-in-law rather You mean the cool son in law because you'd be the one who's cool like he's an asshole He's still cool I think but I think if you had to pick like Brad March on obviously it's like a huge dick on the ice everything But what I've off the ice seems like it. Okay guys like Kevin Costner in water world Like maybe leaning maybe lean a little like a little too hard towards like the asshole side of being an anti-hero Because like they tried to like make him like snakeless kid or whatever except he's just a fucking asshole like these snake drinks his own Like within the context of an action movie still like the actual hero Yeah, all the stars are there Kevin Costner Tina Majorino You just googled the IDB. No, I just know that she was you hadn't seen it and you know that she was in the seal movie Andre oh, yeah, and then was also in water She was also in Veronica Mars is that a movie starring a talking seal called Andre's a movie starring seal the singer both He plays Andre. Yeah, they went for the Giants.

They went for this sort of like ironic thing. Where's my other? I'm pretty sure the app on your phone. Yeah Sometimes before I go to bed I like to read the message.

But yeah Kevin Costner is just a fucking asshole in that movie I mean I think we all agree that you don't want Patrick Kane is your son. Yeah, we haven't even discuss him at all because he's disgusting Congrats Tina Majorino There's no there's no like redemptive side of Patrick. Okay, but he's right. Yeah, exactly but so is Brad Marshall But you're more likely to get money from yours son in law than your father.

Well, no, that's exactly it's the other bonus is that you're more likely to get money from Brad Brad would pay for the wedding. Yeah, probably pay for a dough over bar. Oh easily. Oh for sure.

Yeah, he's an artist Absolutely, I'm gonna get a tattoo and my wife's name will be misspelled. Yeah Attached you to honor the wedding. Yeah, exactly like a Sadie Martian the Martian to heck wadding Yeah, exactly a lot of it. Yeah And Patrick Kane is more like Kevin Costner in the postman and that no one wants to see him Well, I mean no one wanted to see water rely on it I think you could you could have said Patrick Kane is like the catagos in a water world And then no one wants to see him and he drinks his fist Justin just really wanted to talk about the postman or ill postino You are you're Tina Marjorie.

You're killing it You're killing it wasn't that the like the subtitle of it wasn't it like it's something like that like ill postino I would be that would it be el postman? No, it's Italian doesn't but wasn't that like in the name potentially el postino? I don't know. I don't think so.

Okay. I don't think so. Okay. I'm looking though The postman can I see this Tina Marjorie?

No again, I already fucking showed you well the postman's three hours long. Holy shit Yeah, that was even worse than that. Anyway, doesn't matter number one person is majoring You know majoring down Tina Marjorie Wow the postman's budget was 80 million dollars an opening weekend. It made 5.2 million Yeah, I mean Kevin Costner learned the valuable lesson from water world which was just too much water people really want his Sand and deserts ill postino.

Okay. Number one question comes in from Michael foist If you could start a wrestling stable with you leading what three athletes living or dead would be in it What is the group's name Justin? I will defer to you It's gonna be a heel stable obviously mark messy a is for sure. Oh nice.

You're gonna conox seals I mean I just I'm just a tool in general. Todd Bertie's your enforcer Well Edmonton Oilers mark messy a is in the New York Rangers mark messy a is also in it and Vancouver Canucks mark messy a is in it and we are the for fucking I I was because it's a wrestling question so I just assumed that you would be all over trying to think of other notorious heels All right, my stable is me Austin Matthews William kneelander and Mitch Marner and we are called the beautiful boys It's a good one. Thank you. I don't know any more wrestling.

Well, you just need to like a stable is like a faction like a group Like tag team group like degeneration The second guys. Yeah, you all hang together. Yeah, you hang together Triple H X Park the new age outlaws really got in road dog and So my group would be triple H the new or they call age outlaws Xbox Xbox China China We would be called degeneration I think it would be when they said so that kind of works at China was in it because like she has a huge quit right? So just suck it like I just Died she sucked it like for a career for a little bit.

She didn't suck it got sucked on. No, she also did suck it not her own Oh, okay. No, I mean someone else. I'm a porn star.

I agree. I look like a baby carrot. No, it looked like a penis Well, okay a clip is a penis. I don't know how much you know about an enemy no, I know but I mean like do you know We'll use a baby carrot last week.

You just kept saying the penguins pooed outcome. So yeah, and we settled this over the week We looked it up. Yeah, I do not well, that's not what I found. Well, you were probably looking on much different websites than I was Okay, now let's get my actual faction is mark.

Messier Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady nice me nice. Yeah I'm like the mouth I'm the heel manager and I do all the dastardly beads We're called the clowns The clown question, bro. Yeah, I don't know the sports villains Now I know why you are musically talented, but you've never had a band we're called God save the Alright, well, I mean maybe I'm gonna dance before do you want to just keep trying? I've never been in a band joke was that you couldn't joke was that you couldn't be in a band The joke was that you wouldn't be able to name the band so it take forever That's why I took like a year for us to start this podcast wasn't a game up with real good show Well, yeah, what was your band a trip wire?

Oh, well, that was your your hf boards and your connects.com name Wow, so once he comes up with an Amy likes look at what came out first the band name or the forum name Oh looking forward to the baddest new neighbor band after your hf boards nickname Nice, yeah, I'm be Rick roll. That was actually your for name. Yep. That's pathetic.

It's awesome. It's so cool Never gonna give it up. No absolutely. I definitely never give it up.

What do you know? Little Stefan what do you mean so do I? We're no strangers to love You know the rules What's the last question? Yeah, that's one good thing, maybe all right We will go from there to everyone's favorite segment because it means we're on the home stretch the cherry on top of our Sunday we pick the things we like from the world at large one good Gentlemen, what do you like this week?

I like a book surprise Wow, I'm reading my brand It's called shattered and it's about Hillary Clinton's campaign. That's by the guys who wrote um Talk was it called game change the Sarah Palin Barack Obama one from 2008 and it's all about her campaign I'm bad it was yeah, and it's really depressing but also kind of funny because it's just so it's like how do you see what fucking jobs? Well, I'm glad that you are learning something about why the democratic campaign failed because the democratic party certainly has Political zinger zing it's true. Yeah, I recommend a book Okay, I'm recommending an album and it is by Kendrick Lamar and it is called damn and Everyone is talking about it and has written about it, and I don't need to say anything about it You're already listening to it, but if you're somehow not Well, then you're done and so you haven't it's really good.

It's really good. It's really good step on for oops catchphrase I think of course enough enough is enough and it's time for a change dare Yeah, true I'm gonna recommend and see I almost recommended this a few weeks ago and I didn't Because you remember it's definitely recommended it before oh, but this time I will recommend it because I've played it like so much this week And you can't recommend this I didn't fucking recommend it before he can recommend it I'll he told me that I could recommend it and I chose not I'm the one who recommended it and I'm giving him my blessing Yeah, bless my when I've endorsed something that John has previously endorsed he loves it as a fucking acid not as a one God towards him having good taste not as a one when it's Stefan who's recommended before oh my goodness. What a disaster This is widely acknowledged. I have the best taste on this podcast.

I don't know about that Video game for the PlayStation 4 is called horizon zero dawn No sound great on the recording you playing with bubble wrap the whole time you sexually frustrated or what this bubble How do you not play bubble wrap is bubble wrap it's been here literally every episode it's right there I've had over four years. I've never really played with it. Yeah, and it's showing up on the recording of you just going Is it oh, yeah, of course sorry guys, that's fine. You just recto.

We just have to start again It's not it's called horizon zero dawn And Stefan I have no idea how you recommend this game like a month and a half ago given that I got it right after you recommended I'm just finishing it right now, but I hadn't been it by then I liked it. I recommended how many games do you finish in a week? I don't finish very many of them. It's all he does he gets up in the morning He makes three memes he jacks off three times and he plays video Three yeah, I don't know only three memes I believe that part, but only three jackoffs That's what he said average would be three average.

You're not trying to break your personal best of this time. I can't it's a fool there No, it's ridiculous. I'm not It's not gonna happen I honestly if I try it I would die I think you die There's a non-zero chance that I would actually die well I've been playing this game for like a month now, and I'm finally at a point where I drink it I mean, I think you Recommend that after like two days because that it like legit just come out Yeah, I got it like a few days after it came out and then you just played it all weekend long Yeah, I mean did you just drink like Mountain Dew code red all we don't even played it that much like I'm just very good at that game So it's my fault. No, I got the armor that makes it like it's basically it breaks the game We can't die and you just run through everything Yeah, but like every time I hear you guys talk about the new Zelda game Yeah, it's like this like amazing open world adventure Yeah, it just drops you in and like makes you solve it on your own and like it's so difficult like you can't engage every single Enemy you come across you have to run away.

Yeah, this is also horizon You're done literally everything you're saying right now. Yeah, it's one of the best games I've played in a very very long time like probably the most I've been absorbed in the game since GTA 5 game out Yeah, it's really I'm strong recommend that if you have PlayStation 4 looks it's already to you I did not see Stefan's recommendation. I was just gonna make that joke so good for you Would you like to explain why it's a general okay? Well having said that with that that will do it for this week's episode our roommate continues to be no one as we record live in the RGS studios here in Olympic Village our producer is Jessica Sands Thank You Jessica our intern is the fine folks at seek geek and if you enjoy the show you can support it online at patreon.com slash real Good show and get some bonus content for doing so later on iTunes later this week We are going to release audio from the like symposium discussion Oh, yeah, that came out the talk that Stefan and I gave at van arts school about the future of broadcasting in the podcasting industry And what it takes to be a podcasting Titan so you can learn from the best sit in on a Lesson that Stefan and I taught where horse fucking came up early and often threw out and we did use those exact words to describe it So that is not the academic setting that is not the donor exclusive episode That's just a little bit of bonus bonus content this month So that'll be out later this week and of course we dropped a mailbag last week that was very enjoyable So so look for that and of course as Stefan said it very much helps us quite a bit If you will rate and review the program on iTunes gives us a boost in their rankings and algorithms and all that good stuff until next week I'm Justin Morris at Stefan hack John Cullen.
