"We held out for this guy?" - Morreale and Hitch #51

They're back, not due to popular demand - Mike Morreale and Rob Hitchcock return for Episode #51 to reminisce about their football careers. They talk about their 25th reunion of the Grey Cup at the Ticats Home opener and the half a dozen fans asking about the return of the podcast. The conversation segues into their retirement from football and the speeches they gave at their retirement ceremony. They discuss the recent Grey Cup reunion and the players who attended. They mention their plans for future episodes, including interviews with ex-players and coaches, and possibly some fans. Mike and Hitch use the podcast as an opportunity to catch up and discuss various topics, including their experiences with a burger deal, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, their children, golf, and the future of the podcast. They also touch on the use of helmet padding in football and the tough reputation of Hamilton and end with a discussion about upcoming episodes and the goal of reaching 100 episodes.TakeawaysThe hosts reminisce about their football careers and their retirement speechesThey mention the recent Grey Cup reunion and the players who attendedThey talk about their plans for future episodes, including interviews with ex-players and coachesThey also mention the lampshade and natural beer sign in David Butko's backgroundThe hosts reminisce about their experiences with a burger deal and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.They discuss their children's activities and future plans.The conversation shifts to golf and the potential for scholarships.They express their opinions on the use of helmet padding in football.The hosts highlight the tough reputation of Hamilton and the upcoming Made in the Hammer game.They mention their plans for future podcast episodes and their goal of reaching 100 episodes.Chapters00:00 - Answering Calls to Return01:26 - Retirement and Grey Cup Reunions20:01 - Burger Deals23:08 - Children, Golf, and Scholarships31:35 - Helmet Padding in Football35:06 - The Tough Reputation of Hamilton37:46 - The Made in the Hammer Game39:41 - Future Podcast Episodes and GoalsGet your tickets to next Sunday's Made In The Hammer game at Tim Hortons Field on July 7th, HEREThe Ticats Audio Network provides Hamilton Tiger-Cats fans with the most comprehensive, entertaining and informative news and information about their favourite football team.
