Paul Friesen would disagree...lol

and get this, Damien Jackson makes brooms somewhere in Georgia.....

I just found this out - Damien Jackson's poop is used as currency in Argentina.

Love the name of the Podcast, classic.

A fine example.

It's really obvious in this 5 Neat Guys Gold video...whoops I said I wasn't going to post any more clips...sorry...one more post...now I'd done! and they weren't even trying to hide it in this one as Joe's trying to sober up before they go on stage...

One more post about Joe....now I'm done. 🥲 RIP Joe.

I was shocked when I found out Joe was American too....he always seemed so "Canadian" in so many ways...in this interview (from 1982) on Letterman he discusses how he ended up in Toronto and meeting this kooky gang of Canadians.... Edmonton sure takes a beating in this interview too which is hilarious. I like how John Candy is smoking during the interview, classic 1980's. Historical context - at this time John Candy was in a war with SCTV producers because they weren't paying the actors very much and were very cheap, and Candy was pretty bitter about it. The character "Guy Caballero" was actually a parody of the main producer and was created out of an act of defiance by the SCTV cast. It was actually sad to hear how a show so good and so funny and so Canadian was enduring all kinds of animosity and turmoil behind the scenes.

So you don't know which game you are referring to? Or just trying desperately to be a jackass?

ok please explain that one to me - 713?

I was always partial to Vic Arpeggio.... and of course...Guy Caballero...

This game is in Winnipeg, why is it starting so late?

Time for another road trip with the dad's....

?? OK judge one guy on the entire team, good grief this is why we don't deserve nice things.

I wish we had a guy that had half the heart of Tkachuk. We have no one right now to answer the bell.

Not sure why Perfetti isn't playing.

Here's what I find amazing - that 11 years after the 1950 Grey Cup telecast, and the technology over 11 years of broadcasting hadn't really advanced. What the heck???

ok maybe I got the NHL and the CFL mixed up there....

I was articling at a CA firm in Calgary at the time and remember saying the exact same thing the next day to my equally clued-out co-workers. So there you go. The owners at that time were blinded by the money, and allowed a totally unfair advantage to the US teams. It was a total betrayal, in my view.

Another nugget. The Argos had a guy named "Granny Liggins", which I would put up there with "Randy Rhino". This was before my time so I have no memory of this season. EDIT - I know we like to crap on TSN but man when you watch these old games you sure miss all of the new technology, like the first down line (so you know if they are even close) and graphics like telling us what the score is more than once or twice a quarter, as well as just telling us what down it is and how many yards to go for a first down. I remember the days when that stuff didn't exist and I also remember having to pay a lot more attention to everything so that you could be informed rather than just lazily relying on technology. I definitely think that while I appreciate being kept informed in real time it has made my brain go to mush a bit when it comes to paying attention to details.

yeah watched Masters of the Air and was hoping for Band of Brothers/The Pacific with bombers and instead got a lot of boring minutes going no where. Was very disappointed.
