1:36
Off the bench. There's been a lot of good playoffs
1:44
this year. Canadian teams doing well. I feel
1:56
like we've both been following basketball a lot
1:58
more. For me, it looks like the NBA playoffs
2:02
is happening right now. 100%. NBA Finals is happening
2:06
right now. Especially with the Spurs versus the
2:10
Thunder. you know it's that's great that's like
2:13
the finals and it's like peewee where it's like
2:15
the knicks are destroying cleveland yeah and
2:18
it's like it's weird when a team goes up three
2:22
nothing in a series because like we both know
2:26
no one's ever come back from it i don't think
2:29
no no no everyone yet no one's ever back from
2:33
down three oh especially against a team that's
2:37
a higher seed than you And has been crushing
2:39
you every single game. So, like, the game that's
2:42
on tonight, probably the last game of the series.
2:45
If not, maybe the Knicks will have a little bit
2:48
of mercy so they can win in their own building.
2:50
But then that becomes a revenue aspect. Exactly.
2:53
Do we throw this game, give them a little hope,
2:55
just so we can win in front of our own fans?
2:58
But they're on a wild streak right now. Well,
3:01
yeah, explain. How many games did they win in
3:04
a row? I think they lost, like... The first two
3:07
or something? Well, they swept Philadelphia.
3:09
Yeah. And then they're probably going to sweep
3:12
Cleveland once they lose. Yeah. That's the only
3:14
ones that they... No, I feel like they've won
3:17
more in a row. Yeah. But Brunson's playing great.
3:21
Like, they're actually playing like a legit team.
3:24
Them having a different coach this year has made
3:27
so much of a difference. It changed the way they
3:29
played a little bit. 100%. Like the high -off
3:33
team that they played last year. Obviously, it
3:35
wasn't sustainable. And some of the players felt
3:39
like they couldn't keep up to that standard.
3:41
Their last loss was Game 3 against the Hawks.
3:46
That's what it was. In the first round. Yeah,
3:49
because the Hawks made a comeback in that one.
3:51
No, the Hawks were winning. Yeah, that's what
3:55
I mean. They were up 2 -1 in the series and then...
3:58
When Stephen A. Smith made that claim, being
4:01
like, if you lose to the Hawks, you might as
4:03
well. And then they just haven't lost it. And
4:06
they've gone beast mode. And Stephen A. Smith
4:09
is taking all the credit for that one. When you
4:13
look at the NBA, there's obviously Donovan Mitchell
4:17
and James Harden. You have Jalen Brunson and
4:20
basically the New York Villanova team. You have...
4:27
SGA and that team, and then you have the Alien.
4:32
Out of all those guys, who do you think deserves
4:35
to win the NBA playoffs, the NBA championships?
4:39
Out of all of those guys, who do you think deserves
4:41
it the most? I mean... If you could pick one
4:44
person. Oh, I'd love Wemmy to win. Why would
4:46
you like Wemmy to win, though? Because he's,
4:48
like, the Spurs are, it's fun to watch, and they're
4:54
playing, they're, like... it's just different
4:57
they're a clean they're they seem like a cleaner
5:00
team and they're not like playing those the foul
5:04
games and like there's no there's yes i get it
5:08
he elbowed someone in the face a few weeks ago
5:10
but like there's none of those like dirty little
5:13
it's it's just different but like for his legacy
5:17
it's really cool like he's playing unreal and
5:19
he seems angry that he didn't get the mvp only
5:22
in game one it seemed like that in last game
5:25
Fair, but that was because they were down. Yeah,
5:27
but it's just, I feel like he deserves an MVP
5:31
for the sheer fact of how much teams have to
5:35
game plan around him specifically. You're not
5:38
wrong. And how teams are like, okay, well, we
5:42
know we're probably not going to win while he's
5:44
on the floor. We need to have our bench guys
5:47
play really well, build a deep bench because
5:50
we need to take advantage of every minute that
5:52
he's not on the court. Jordan Castle in this
5:57
course is actually pretty amazing. They are.
5:59
Yeah, like Stephen Castle right now. But when
6:01
Wemby's on, they get that much more elevated
6:05
because everybody's having Wemby in the corner
6:08
of their eye. True. I was thinking it was game
6:11
one, and seeing Wemby just go and dominate, and
6:15
he made this amazing block, and he goes and stands
6:17
in front of this bench. That was like the most
6:19
picturesque moment I've ever seen. And then game
6:23
two and three happened. Yeah. That was the story.
6:26
But, well, yeah, the one... Was it game two?
6:31
I think it was game two that they started up
6:35
15 -0. What was that game three? Oh, Spurs were
6:38
up 15 -0? Yeah. Game three. Game three, yeah.
6:41
Game four. No, game three. Game three, because
6:43
they lost. They were up 15 -0 to start the game,
6:47
and it was tied for the second most... Like,
6:51
most... points to start a start a game in the
6:54
playoffs since like the play -by -play started
6:57
and then they took him out took their foot off
6:59
the gas and that's what happens looking at it
7:02
it's just like they're smart because what they're
7:04
really doing is they're smothering wendy to the
7:07
point where it's more emotional than it is yeah
7:10
fundamental game and then playing that out Now
7:13
he's making mistakes on the other side, and his
7:16
teammates are bailing him out accordingly. But
7:18
then you have a super team in OKC that's been
7:21
built, and every single person on that team is
7:24
a threat. Yeah. Which makes it very, very difficult.
7:27
Well, I mean, like, their bench goes crazy. Yeah.
7:30
Their bench beats starters on other teams. Yeah.
7:33
The last game, the Spurs managed to hold their
7:37
bench to, like, 34 points, something like that.
7:41
But if you can hold their bench and check, then
7:43
you can win. And they won handily. So you're
7:48
saying if anyone could win the NBA Finals and
7:52
win MVP, it would be Victor Wimignano? Yeah,
7:56
I hope so. For me, it's hard. Obviously, being
8:02
Canadian, we kind of won SGA because that's a
8:05
great nod to... He's a totally different player,
8:09
though. so like he's one of those guys where
8:12
like you know he's gonna get his points so like
8:14
you can almost just like not not defend him but
8:19
like i'm always gonna defend it no i don't mean
8:23
us defend him i mean like you know he's gonna
8:25
score so just like get let him get his 25 and
8:29
just focus on the rest of the guys because right
8:32
now the nba is going in a huge international
8:34
state for the last Nine MVPs. Yeah, I think Embiid
8:40
is the last US MVP. Yes. James Harden is. James
8:45
Harden is the last Canadian, or the last American.
8:48
Is he? I thought it was Embiid. No, Embiid's
8:50
not Canadian, or American. Where's he from? Embiid
8:53
is... Look it up. I can't remember. James Harden,
8:57
I believe, is the last one. I thought he was...
8:59
Look it up, look it up. I thought Embiid... Didn't
9:01
Embiid play on the Team USA? Yes, he can. But
9:05
technically, he is not. He's now a dual citizen,
9:09
so he can play. Is he French? I believe he is.
9:13
Or basically a colony that took over Africa.
9:18
Glad you said it. That's how most of them are
9:21
able to play. Cameroon. Cameroon, that's it.
9:24
So Joel Embiid is technically Cameroon, so technically
9:26
he's not the last one. He's a dual citizen. But
9:29
I feel like this. Out of all of them, I would
9:32
love Jalen Brunson to win it all. Due to the
9:34
fact that... The NBA kind of runs better when
9:37
it's an American -born face of the league. Yeah.
9:40
No offense to any international players, but
9:43
we've been looking for that new LeBron James.
9:47
We're looking for that new Michael Jordan, that
9:50
new Kobe. Yeah. I'm looking at the NBA right
9:52
now, and it's just like, SGA reminds me of what
9:57
Kobe was in the league. Yeah. Except for the
10:00
flopping. Yeah, that's kind of, I saw a stat
10:03
about like, players being fouled and or they're
10:06
shooting and falling i think you probably saw
10:09
the same one staggering the amount of times he
10:12
falls down it is so this is also comparing him
10:16
and wemby falling down but like when it's like
10:18
i i don't know how tall sga is but he's not nearly
10:21
as tall as wemby so killer instinct that mentality
10:25
that sga has it's it's it's crazy so i view him
10:30
like he's the modern day kobe Right now, in my
10:34
eyes, right? I look at Victor Wominana as the
10:38
modern -day Shaq. How dominant he is in the post.
10:41
And then... Yeah, I mean, I guess, but... Being
10:44
able to spread the floor out accordingly. Then
10:47
it's like Shaq with Wilt Chamberlain. Yeah. It's
10:52
cool to see, like, that dynamic. Womin's just
10:54
so weird because he's so long. Yes. Like, if
10:58
you just shrunk him a little bit, he would...
11:00
be fine he stops most people from going into
11:03
the paint so now you have to scheme accordingly
11:05
oh yeah to get him to go into the wide well you
11:08
have to change your shot against him exactly
11:10
so for me it's like jalen brunson would be amazing
11:12
for the americans obviously for canada sga you
11:17
know boom another canadian winning and dominating
11:20
in the league and it only opens up more opportunities
11:23
and doors for people in canada yeah we can make
11:26
the mba and make an impact Because we do have
11:28
a London Bourne in the NBA. I look at it from
11:33
that. So, like, two years in the league with
11:35
Wemby, SGA going back -to -back would be kind
11:39
of cool. That would be cool. A Canadian going
11:42
back -to -back with a great supporting cast.
11:44
Yeah. Even though Chet. Chet, you need to step
11:48
your game up. Like, for being 7 -1. He's so weird
11:52
looking. He doesn't make sense. He looks like
11:55
Abraham Lincoln, kind of. Just double checking.
11:58
I put on a condenser bow because the game is
12:01
now. Oh, yeah. It's just like, I don't know.
12:05
When Chet's up against Wemby, he's obviously
12:10
he's not as good as him. Like he's a good player.
12:13
He's not. They're not the same. So he ends up
12:16
doing all those little dirty tricks and like
12:19
step feet during like rebounds for three free
12:24
throws and like just all those little dirty things.
12:27
Like, I don't like that. I get you. But when
12:30
we inject each other. Yeah. I look at, like,
12:34
the NBA playoffs right now. If you were going
12:37
through, like, relationships or just growing
12:39
up as an adult, look at the NBA playoffs. Or
12:42
playoffs in general. Like, a huge shout -out.
12:46
Like, Gabriel McPherson is on our podcast. Congratulations
12:49
to Arsenal. Winning. Hey, congratulations on
12:55
you guys for not getting relegated. That was
12:59
getting pretty close there. At least you know
13:04
they'll be spending like crazy this offseason.
13:06
Yeah, at least we have money for it. Yeah, right.
13:10
I look at Arsenal, it's just like, they did things
13:13
right. I can't believe it's been so long since
13:16
they won. 30 -something years? Yeah. But they've
13:20
always been like top five. They're always the
13:22
bridesmaid, never the bride. They definitely
13:24
got that. But what they did was... And I will
13:29
relate this shot into real life. It's starting
13:32
in the final game in Arsenal. Which is insane.
13:35
Before we leave, we go out there and do great
13:37
things. Don't expect, I'm at this level. I just
13:42
graduated from school. I need the top job. You
13:45
need to work on yourself. It's the same thing
13:47
with... Well, I mean, it's the same thing with
13:50
when we jumped in and you start doing boxing.
13:54
You go to one class, you're not going to be the
13:58
best. It's progress. You got to work your way
14:01
there. And you see that a lot in the NFL as well.
14:06
Teams will be like the dumpster fire team. And
14:09
then they'll be like, there's a generational
14:12
quarterback. Let's just draft him. And then he
14:15
just gets abused his first year or two. Yeah.
14:19
But then they just get completely abused. And
14:21
then everyone's like, oh, he's terrible. Like,
14:23
no, he had no help. Whereas you then you get
14:27
the other teams that like they focus on building
14:30
a team. And then eventually they get that last
14:34
piece and you get that last piece and it puts
14:36
you over the top. So I look at it like there's
14:41
people out there who are. complaining that their
14:45
parents didn't do this for them, didn't do that
14:47
for them, and so forth, but then haven't done
14:49
the work. And I look at Arsenal, I look at Tottenham
14:52
right now, Tottenham right now, all that fans
14:55
are annoyed because upper management is not taking
14:58
it in serious. Yeah, because they're just like,
15:00
let it happen. I think what people say, my parents
15:03
didn't do this for me, didn't do this for me.
15:05
It's like, yes. That is Tottenham right now.
15:08
We want you to go and sign these great people.
15:11
We want you to catch them on the team. There's
15:13
no reason why, two years in a row, we're finishing
15:16
the 17th in the league. Yeah. But that's just
15:19
like, it sounds bad. Feel bad for the Leafs.
15:22
Obviously, they won the first draft pick this
15:24
year. But that's exactly what it is. You're like,
15:27
if you're not making changes and moving in a
15:29
positive direction. You're not staying stagnant.
15:33
You're moving backwards because everyone else
15:35
is moving forward. They need a lot of things.
15:43
You don't get the number all one traffic with
15:45
only one issue. That's exactly it. I've been
15:51
saying this. If I were the GM of Toronto Maple
15:53
Leafs, I'd be talking to Austin Matthews and
15:56
being like, where do you want to go? Tell me
15:58
where you want to go. Voyager, no trade clause.
16:02
And I'm going to ship you out so I can build
16:04
a team accordingly. Because Toronto already has
16:07
the fans. They're all delusional. Toronto's one
16:11
of those franchises that they will always have
16:16
lots of money because of where it is and all
16:22
of the business implications. Well, yeah, because
16:27
Toronto doesn't have to do anything. That's the
16:29
thing. People are always going to come. In Ottawa,
16:34
they have to build something for people to come.
16:37
The brother, everyone needs him. I get that.
16:41
American porn, whatever. It is what it is. Dirty
16:45
player. Yeah, it's just... It's weird. Hockey
16:51
is not like baseball. Obviously, if you're in
16:56
Canada, you can root for the Jays. Jays are in
16:59
the playoffs, you root for them. It's weird right
17:01
now because Montreal's deep in the playoffs.
17:04
They're winning the series right now. Most Canadians
17:07
are like, well, I guess I'll cheer for Montreal
17:09
today because they're the only Canadian team.
17:12
The thing is, a lot of people are like, oh, no,
17:16
I don't want to cheer for Montreal. They're like,
17:18
eh. And then the thought process is all the teams
17:22
in the playoffs are mostly Canadians anyways.
17:25
True, true. It's just weird. Leafs fans hate.
17:30
Montreal fans so much. I hate both. When Leafs
17:34
fans hate Montreal so much, they won't even root
17:37
for a Canadian team in the playoffs. I personally
17:39
hate both. And that's the reason why I became
17:43
a Calgary fan. When I was just getting into the
17:46
hobby, I was working at JLC. London Knights.
17:53
Everyone knows them. He's giving out tickets,
17:56
clubhouse giving out tickets to go to the Knights,
17:58
which basically is a farm team for a lot of the
18:02
league. Oh, yeah. The Knights, it's just hilarious.
18:07
They're off -year, they're making the playoffs.
18:10
You see the bandwagon fans of the Toronto Maple
18:12
Leafs, and then Montreal Canadiens fans. R2 was
18:16
Canadian, Toronto fans, and blah, blah, blah.
18:18
And I was smart enough at the time not to be
18:21
an Ottawa fan because at that point, Ottawa was
18:23
just bottom of the totem pole. They weren't really
18:26
a team. And then it was Dion Fonat, Jérôme Miquelma,
18:30
Kip Rousseau that were like huge for me in Calgary.
18:36
Obviously, I have all my other things that brought
18:38
me to Calgary, but like that made hockey for
18:41
me. And then seeing how good they were and how
18:43
consistent. But then couldn't get over that,
18:46
huh? Yeah. Still not as bad as Toronto Maple
18:49
Leafs fed, because the last time Calgary won
18:51
was 1989. But that story here or there, that
18:54
story 37 years ago. I would know. Yeah. That
18:58
was the year I was born. Yeah. Three months after
19:01
you were born. Yes. So. Yeah. I don't know. Hockey
19:08
school. It's weird that I'm cheering for Montreal
19:12
Canadiens. But it's also good if it came back
19:17
to Canada. Yeah, I mean, there's a good point.
19:21
You're right. Most of those players are Canadian.
19:23
Well, there's a good chance, pretty much regardless
19:25
of who wins, the Cup is coming to London at some
19:28
point. Because you got Marner. Mitch Marner for
19:35
Vegas. Vegas. Kadri are on Colorado. I don't
19:39
know who on the other side. I can't remember
19:40
off the top of my head. I guarantee there's somebody.
19:44
Yeah, I can't. I don't know. The playoffs this
19:47
year, it's so weird for everything, though. Especially
19:50
with the NBA playoffs. Like you said earlier,
19:53
the finals are happening right now. Because we
19:56
know whoever wins this. But it's weird because
19:59
if it goes to seven and the other series goes
20:02
to four, the Knicks are going in with a huge
20:06
rest. While the other team is exhausted. Yeah,
20:09
it might be the same way the Raptors got there.
20:13
Got their championship. Because... Exactly. But
20:17
if the West has another long series, they burn
20:20
out. What do you guys think? What do you guys
20:23
think? Do you guys think if the winner of OPC
20:26
versus Scurrs, the winner of that, maybe too
20:30
burnt out because it goes to Game 7? Yeah. And
20:32
then it gives the door open to New York Knicks?
20:35
Because they'll have an extra week of rest. True.
20:38
I don't know. Because I look at it as this. If
20:40
OPC goes to Game 7... make it make to the finals
20:43
their bench could carry the team to a championship
20:46
true if the spurs get there they would exhausted
20:51
all their abilities just to get to the finals
20:54
and it would rest on victor women yana but this
20:58
is also victor's second year in the league yeah
21:01
so he has energy exactly he's young right so
21:04
it's it's gonna be interesting either way especially
21:08
the way the knicks have been blowing everyone
21:10
out I don't think they can blow these two teams
21:13
coming out of the West Coast. No. So, it's not
21:16
possible. Blow the whole team. So, just in a
21:20
way from, like, Major League, Major League, and
21:24
talk about MVP boxing or MVP MMA. He's like,
21:28
we didn't do an episode last week. That's true.
21:30
We watched it on Netflix, everybody. Yes. Shout
21:35
out to Winx for hosting it. Yeah. That was actually
21:38
kind of fancy. Yeah, we didn't even know it was
21:39
going to be on. We were just going out to a patio.
21:42
Nice day, yeah. The Netflix fight, NBC MMA, they
21:47
lost money. There's nobody there. I think, honestly,
21:52
I think, like, I've seen some pictures, and it
21:55
looks... Like it was actually more full than
21:58
you'd think. But those lights on the chairs made
22:01
it so hard to tell if there was a person sitting
22:05
there or not. Because it wasn't like the lights
22:07
were empty seats. It was like the lights are
22:09
like right beside. It's like you couldn't really
22:11
tell. But yeah, no, they definitely lost. I do
22:15
want to say this. I think it did give UFC some
22:18
pressure. They're feeling the pressure. They
22:21
wouldn't have announced Conor McGregor's big
22:24
fight. during francis agonu's walkout if they
22:29
weren't feeling pressure do you think remember
22:31
when we saw like like he started walking out
22:33
and then he stopped for a second do you think
22:36
that's what it was probably was it that was probably
22:38
the moment that like do you think because they
22:41
made mention of it after the press conference
22:43
like do you think the guy standing there like
22:45
hey they just announced that conor mcgregor is
22:47
fighting again to him as he's on his way out
22:50
like that doesn't make sense Doesn't at all.
22:54
Unless it was like, oh, just wait a second. As
22:57
someone that's had that walkout now, that would
23:01
throw you off. Well, remember during your fight,
23:05
when we were about to walk out, you were about
23:08
to walk out and they're like, alright, we're
23:11
going to do the silent auction now. Or we're
23:13
going to do all the raffle prizes. And you're
23:15
like, just sitting there waiting. Getting cold.
23:19
The one thing I'll say though is... The reason
23:22
why I haven't watched UFC as much as I used to
23:24
is because there's too much going on. Every week
23:28
there's a new UFC. There's too many fighters.
23:31
It's like, there's this pay -per -view. There's
23:34
this off -show. When I was growing up, watching
23:39
UFC was... There was numbered UFCs. And hard
23:43
knocks. There's a reality show. Oh, no, not Hard
23:49
Knocks. Ultimate Fighter. Ultimate Fighter. Yeah.
23:52
Those two. Now there's the Contender Series.
23:55
There's Fight Night. There's basically one every
23:59
weekend, but that's the way their TV deals are
24:01
now. Because with, I don't know if it's all the
24:05
same with Paramount now, but I remember at one
24:08
point they were under contract to produce X amount
24:12
of UFC events. So they had to do... however many
24:15
events and then a certain number of numbered
24:19
ufcs per year so once you start doing that and
24:22
then you have cards getting canceled things getting
24:25
pushed back negotiations falling through so that's
24:28
when they start adding in all this filler it's
24:31
too much it's like the concept of people who
24:34
are fans of wwe you have raw and smackdown you
24:38
know the roster of wwe raw You know, the roster
24:41
of SmackDown. And then it exploded to the point
24:43
where now you have to go to the roster for NXT,
24:46
which is the development program. Yeah. And then
24:48
since wrestling is not so much bigger, now we're
24:51
starting to pay attention to their affiliate
24:53
teams like TNA. Yeah. And then they just rise
24:56
on the Mexican league, which is the AAA league.
24:58
There's too many to focus on. Yeah. Then they
25:02
all feel like intertwined with each other. Back
25:05
then, it was just like, you know. Yeah, you get
25:08
more of the, oh, who's that guy? That was more
25:11
brilliant because then now you were paying attention
25:13
to like their fight. But now a lot of the guys
25:16
like the big names, they'll take years off. Yeah,
25:22
well, that's a whole different issue. But usually
25:25
with like each card, there'll be like a couple
25:28
big names and then a bunch of smaller up and
25:31
covers because they're like, OK, these are the
25:33
people that are going to draw people into watching
25:36
the event. And then we got to fill the rest of
25:38
the card. with whoever. I mean, a lot of these
25:44
fights, they're really good. They're amazing
25:47
fights, but it is more fun. You feel like you
25:50
have more invested when you know them a little
25:54
bit. When the roster gets so big, it's hard.
26:00
There used to be a place in Galleria Ball or
26:05
City Plaza, Fox and Fiddle. A buddy of ours would
26:10
host an event. We're like, you get a bunch of
26:14
us. We'll get a table. We'll watch UFC. And it
26:18
was cool. You know, you get a whole bunch of
26:20
people gathering around. It's like, yo, make
26:22
sure next month you're available. We got a table.
26:25
It's UFC. It's like basically like a private
26:28
event. Make sure you come down. It's too much.
26:38
Yeah. No, it becomes too much. Yeah. Well, the
26:48
reason you don't see it at restaurants and stuff
26:50
as much is because with the pay -per -view, they
26:53
charge per TV between that and by... your size.
27:00
So places like years ago, Palisade used to do
27:04
it. But then we stopped because it was so expensive
27:07
because when you have a capacity of 800 people,
27:10
they're like, and then technically you're only
27:12
allowed to have it on half the building between
27:15
that. And then you have it on this half of the
27:17
building and someone over there is like, hey,
27:19
can you put it on this TV? And then people are
27:21
like, yeah, I guess. And then it becomes a whole
27:24
thing. But it became so expensive and it wasn't
27:29
a big enough draw exactly because there was too
27:32
many. And because there's so many, you only want
27:36
to get the big ones. But then when you get the
27:39
big ones, no one knows when you have it. So no
27:42
one comes and then it's a waste of money. We
27:45
were literally just going to Barney's and then
27:50
you're like, well, let's stop in the wings. Usually
27:51
they have a lot of the UFC. Yeah, Montreal was
27:54
playing that night too. Yeah. So, like, they
27:56
had that, but then they also had the fight. So,
27:58
it was kind of cool. Yeah. It's hard finding
28:01
places to watch UFC and trade with youth, but
28:03
they don't hit the same like they used to. No,
28:06
it's not the same. I appreciate MMA trying to,
28:09
like, instill that, because it was like, Ronda
28:11
Rousey coming back out of retirement, just to
28:14
go back into retirement. Yeah, well... It was
28:16
a great draw. It was kind of a cool launch for
28:20
them, for their MMA crowd, because, like, I don't
28:25
know. Their whole thing is they want to compete
28:28
with the UFC and put pressure on boxing. MVP
28:31
was going off the concept of nostalgia. Oh, yeah.
28:35
Getting all these older individuals to pay attention
28:38
to it. And we did. Yeah. Oh, let's watch MVP
28:41
because I remember watching Ron and Rosie dominate
28:45
the league. I remember watching Frank and Donnie
28:47
destroy another individual. I remember watching
28:51
Nate Diaz. It's a match. Normal. Come out and
28:54
play. Yeah. win yeah maybe not always but like
28:58
show in there and when his bmf jumps yeah you
29:02
know what i mean like it was those the nostalgic
29:05
aspect was great i don't think that's gonna sell
29:08
though no but i think unless john jones decides
29:11
to come out of retirement he can't he still has
29:14
i think i think it's like five fights on his
29:17
contract and ufc contracts there's no timeline
29:21
to it It's X amount of fights, and obviously
29:23
they're never going to let him out of his contract
29:26
so he can go take the big audience somewhere
29:28
else. So unless it's in the UFC, Jon Jones is
29:32
never going to fight again. Unless there's talks
29:34
about him doing boxing, but I highly doubt it.
29:40
But what I mean is MVP, their whole... Their
29:47
whole thing was, we want to be able to pay the
29:50
fighters more. And then when you see what the
29:52
fighters actually got paid, everyone looked at
29:54
it and was like, oh, that's barely anything.
29:56
Okay, but they're a small organization doing
30:01
big things, trying to compete with UFC, the biggest
30:05
of the big dogs. Yes, the UFC does not pay people
30:09
enough, but you have to grow to that. So they're
30:14
smart showing the salary. to force UFC fighters
30:17
to drop UFC to potentially go to MVP. A lot of
30:23
the fighters did make a lot. I think Nganou won
30:27
Fight of the Night and won an extra $100 ,000
30:30
and he gave it to his opponent, which is kind
30:33
of cool because his opponent only made $100 ,000.
30:37
It's interesting that way. Nganou, I think he
30:42
made like... I don't know, $3 million or something.
30:45
We're talking about it? Yeah. Excuse me. All
30:48
right, so we'll see what goes on. Well, that's
30:51
exactly it. They're going to put on cards. They
30:54
may not put them on as often as UFC, but they'll
30:57
put on more cards, and their cards will be interesting
31:02
to watch. Only focus on the nostalgia, gosh.
31:06
Yeah. If it's less often and it's not as nostalgic.
31:10
Like, still some people I'm getting attention
31:12
to. I might make the switch and just watch MVP
31:16
fighting. Or MVP MMA. Ah, you say that. But if
31:20
I say, hey, there's a really good UFC on tonight.
31:23
Especially now that it's on Paramount and it's
31:26
easier to get. You're not wrong. Did you enjoy
31:28
my calling and Nate Diaz's fight? When you first
31:32
said, this is going to happen, I'm going to let
31:34
you explain what you said. What did I say? So
31:37
this is just going to be a bloody war. They're
31:40
going to make a huge mess in the ring. And both
31:43
of them are going to be bloody. They're going
31:45
to have to clean the ring after. And my prediction
31:48
is a doctor stoppage before the third round.
31:53
What happened? Doctor stoppage right before the
31:55
third round. Just because of the blood. Yeah,
31:59
it was a bloody mess. But it was ridiculous.
32:01
To be fair, a Nate Diaz fight is a Nate Diaz
32:06
fight. And Mike Perry's done a bunch of bare
32:11
knuckle stuff. So they both have a lot of scar
32:13
tissue on their faces. So like, you know, they're
32:16
going to get a bunch of cuts, but yeah, no, it's,
32:18
it's a hilarious call of like knockout in the
32:22
second round. Not, not as a, not a tap out, not
32:29
a TKO, Dr. Stoppage. So congratulations. You're
32:40
earning your name. Visionary. Thank you. Thank
32:43
you. I'll take my flowers. I'm so excited for
32:48
that. Yeah. First game for Canada is June 12th.
32:53
I think so. Yeah. So some people are really mad
32:59
about it, but the timing, uh, the games in Canada,
33:04
it's going to be. us to watch here because all
33:09
of our games are the ones in vancouver are later
33:13
at night and then the one here is like during
33:15
the day kind of catering to the u .s the uh european
33:19
crowds so a lot of the games are at weird weird
33:23
times because that's the big big market well
33:26
kind of catered to your audience yeah yeah exactly
33:30
but man i'm excited for i hope i at davey's place
33:34
I believe he is. Is he? Because I know he had
33:36
a hammy thing not too long ago. I know one of
33:40
her friends who's on the soccer team. She's actually
33:43
going to a preseason game in Texas to watch her
33:48
team Germany play. Germany? Nice. I'm a Germany
33:52
fan. She won preseason tickets to go. So she's
33:56
going to... That's sick. I want to say Texas.
34:00
Don't call me on that. She's going now, but that's
34:03
a cool experience, man. Go see the best in the
34:05
world play. Best in the world. But being able
34:08
to like, you know what? If I can't see them in
34:10
Canada, I can go to the States. If I can't see
34:12
them in the States, I can go to Mexico. You know
34:14
what I mean? It's cool that it's not just segregated
34:16
in one country. It's split between the three
34:18
of us. That way the World Cup doesn't bankrupt
34:20
one country. It bankrupts three. Now is an excellent
34:24
time for our economy. No, I don't think it's
34:27
going to. It's not going to mess up. canada us
34:31
and mexico nearly as bad as it did like brazil
34:36
and like qatar and like all those other countries
34:40
like yeah you know what i mean while we're not
34:44
building a stadium out in the jungle yeah structure
34:48
next to the stadium so people can watch the game
34:50
yeah they did that uh years ago with uh with
34:55
the uh Yeah. When the great cup was in Toronto,
34:58
they built a whole bunch of temporary seating.
35:01
Cause I went to a TFC game that year and it was
35:05
when the TFC was like deep in the playoffs. It
35:09
was like, and they ended up winning the game
35:13
and enough to make the, the series tied. So they
35:19
went to extra time, but it was, it was everyone's
35:23
jumping up and down on the temporary seating.
35:26
And, like, it felt sketchy. Like the old TD Waterhouse?
35:31
Yeah. Yeah, because it was more sketchy than
35:38
that. But, yeah, it's cool that you get the opportunity
35:45
for that. A buddy of mine, he volunteered to
35:48
help out with it. So I don't know what volunteering
35:51
to help out with the World Cup entails, but he
35:53
got it. He applied online and got accepted. Doing
35:56
something. I know for me, I'm probably planning
35:59
on getting in Toronto for the first game. Yeah.
36:02
Taking a day off work. You didn't hear that here.
36:05
Probably taking a day off work and then going
36:07
up to Toronto. And just being out there. I might
36:10
go to a pub out there. My nephew's actually coming
36:12
down from England. Oh, sick. He's back? So, you
36:15
know. Yeah. Why I can't be a brother? You're
36:19
already a visionary. You probably. Yeah. Yeah.
36:21
No, no. My sunburn is evidence that I am certainly
36:25
not. Honestly, that would be amazing to be at
36:29
that game. But just being in the vicinity of
36:31
Toronto and that energy would be amazing. Just
36:34
going to a bar. I hope it turns into the way
36:37
it used to be. It will be like a multicultural
36:41
experience for everybody. You could go down there
36:45
and go to a bar. Watch the game in a bar and
36:49
everyone will be going crazy. I see Mr. Ford
36:53
has released that. I was like, what? Why? There's
36:58
no game that's happening. But I guess because
37:01
some people are going to be up. Yeah, I think
37:05
it's because of the game. Some of the games are
37:09
in like they're later at night in Vancouver.
37:12
They're going to be late at night here. But yeah,
37:16
like, I don't know. I. as someone out of the
37:22
industry i would love to watch the game but probably
37:25
i'd probably be pretty pissed if i was bartending
37:28
and they were like surprised there's a game tonight
37:31
we're actually not closing at two we're closing
37:34
at four well technically you'd be closing at
37:36
five well yeah by the time everything you're
37:39
like oh the birds are chirping is that the sun
37:42
yeah no no no like those are the nights where
37:44
like you finish work with everybody i'm like
37:46
hey guys you want to go uh bring some grab some
37:50
drinks and go to the drive down to the beach
37:53
and watch the sunrise you know what who knows
37:56
like clubhouse might actually be open till four
37:58
o 'clock in the morning maybe i'm putting that
38:01
out there in the universe i'm sorry for all y
38:03
'all staff we got some extra hours soon yeah
38:07
you might want to bake some i'm just saying management
38:11
Just let the staff know ahead of time. Nobody
38:13
needs to be surprised with that. Great TVs. You
38:18
get your playoff actions right here. You can
38:21
get a sim so you can watch behind you. Play any
38:24
games you want. Any games you want. Bring your
38:27
golf clubs. There's a radio outside. You want
38:29
to get a few bowls in? Boom. You can do it right
38:32
here. PC. Done. Out of the way. You don't have
38:35
to deal with mosquitoes. You don't have to deal
38:37
with bugs. Hey, no, seriously. Do they have beach
38:41
simulators? Maybe. Yeah, maybe that's what I
38:44
need. Just like a heat lamp in a beach simulator.
38:48
Fill one of the sands with sand. I don't know.
38:53
That'd be weird. That would be cool. Bring your
38:55
own sandbox. Fill like a kiddie pool with sand.
38:58
Do a beach party here. That'd be something. I
39:00
feel like that'd be like a winter thing. Yes,
39:02
yes. But I still think the funny thing is your
39:06
team can throw things at the screen. That is
39:09
one of the best experiences. Like being an Eagles
39:12
fan last year. Or being a Tottenham fan this
39:14
year. There's a bunch of stuff you can throw
39:16
at the screen over there. Throw some baseballs,
39:21
football. You see me got a football right here?
39:26
Snap it right there. First time you're in a team,
39:28
you can just chill out. Yeah. Aim for the refs.
39:31
Plus, you don't break your own TV. Bonus. And
39:36
you don't have to clean up after yourself. True.
39:39
And obviously, the food does get better and better
39:42
and better. When we first started this podcast,
39:44
the food was okay. But, you know, they've definitely
39:47
improved your kitchen. So if you haven't been
39:49
to Clubhouse in a while, definitely come check
39:51
out the food. Come check out some of the great
39:52
stuff. Just explore the building. The one thing
39:56
I will definitely say is every time I do come
39:59
into one's building, it does remind me of who
40:03
kind of started this, Archie. He always had a
40:06
sea smile no matter where he was. Had a huge
40:09
impact on London, Ontario. Always, you know,
40:13
want me to walk into the room, he lit it up.
40:15
Walking into 100 Tellouts, I get that same experience
40:19
that Cecilia did. You know, shout out to his
40:22
family for keeping his dream alive and making
40:25
this place a place where he was. Well, they just
40:28
do so many cool things. There's so many different
40:32
events and things going on in this building.
40:35
Like you could come here every weekend for a
40:38
different thing. And there's stuff going on here.
40:43
This weekend coming up. Yeah. Yeah, we gotta
40:49
sign up for that. What day is that on? Alright.
40:54
Let's do it. I should be less red by then, so.
40:58
Hopefully my goal is to then get back to the
41:00
gym. Going back to boomers. Training. I haven't
41:03
signed up for any tournaments or anything like
41:05
that. I'm trying to get mentally right. I've
41:07
taken a long enough break. I feel like I'm good
41:10
enough to get back. Another thing I want to do,
41:13
shout out to Best Case Scenario. Honestly, if
41:15
you have any situation going on, whether it's
41:18
in your own house, friend's house, or whatever,
41:21
make sure you go to Best Case. If you have a
41:23
situation, if you're like, bro, your house is
41:26
so bad, let me call a guy. That's not good. Yeah.
41:32
There aren't a lot of snakes here. It's on a
41:34
slogan. It's like, Best Case Scenario. I handle
41:37
everything except snakes. But honestly, you know,
41:43
you've sponsored the podcast as well. You know,
41:46
sponsored me during my fight. But honestly, he
41:47
was like a great supporter. One of our number
41:50
one fans. Comes out to as much podcasts as you
41:53
can while running a business. So if you have
41:57
any pest situation, whether it's mites, bed bugs.
42:01
Bad roommates. They'll help you. He probably
42:04
gives a bad roommate as well. Yeah. Back. Whatever
42:07
you need. We'll spray your house. Take care of
42:11
any animal in the shed. Great guy. And obviously,
42:15
Milky Way Apparel. We're finally matching. Right?
42:18
We didn't even plan this. That's the best part.
42:21
Yeah. Got those off -the -bench shirts. Off -the
42:25
-bench. So make sure you go to Milky Way Apparel.
42:27
Get your team off -the -bench. Yeah. T -shirts.
42:30
There's so much on the way. As well as every
42:33
donator. Everybody can... buy something from
42:36
multiple apparel there is a donation that goes
42:38
to the puppy house so no matter what you are
42:41
supporting the lunch community so as we keep
42:45
growing this podcast clothing companies you know
42:48
will make sure they impact the community well
42:50
speaking of helping the community though that
42:53
uh there's another event coming up there's two
42:57
more events coming up Well, we'll start off the
43:02
one that's coming up really soon. Rock Out MS.
43:06
So if you didn't get enough of us, go to Rock
43:09
Out MS. If violence is not your thing. Rock Out
43:14
MS. Yeah. I believe tickets are $100. Yeah. But
43:19
I mean, it's all going to a good cause. That's
43:22
what I find funny about it. It's like with the
43:26
donations. It all goes to MS. In my mind, it
43:30
doesn't matter. It's like when we... I'm fine
43:33
paying a little bit more because I know it's
43:35
going to cost. Correct. It's not going to line
43:37
someone's pockets. It's not going to someone
43:41
who doesn't need it. It's going to need it. Correct,
43:44
correct. That flight project, I imagine, is a
43:46
huge success. Knowing that everything you're
43:48
doing went to... The community. Went to the community
43:52
that you can not visibly see, but having it back
43:55
in because one of the head doctors is in London.
44:10
Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot. It's going to be really
44:19
good. You are about to change lives for people
44:27
who are going to find out they have MS or for
44:29
people who have MS. Yeah, think about it like
44:31
doing a charity donation to a good cause, but
44:34
you also get to see a concert. It's like you're
44:37
making a donation and going to a free concert.
44:39
That's the way I view it. Yeah, so I know I'm
44:43
away that weekend. Oh, well. But I do have a
44:46
few things that I want to do. So Gus, if you're
44:50
watching this, I'll be calling you soon. But
44:52
yeah, so there's that. What else is going on?
44:54
There's so much information that we could just
44:57
spill out today. Fight to end? Okay. I know I'm
45:01
going to... Yeah, we're going to be going for
45:04
a while. Okay, okay. Tell us about that. Okay,
45:09
so the one thing I'll say is there was one person
45:13
in London, Ontario. Definitely got me into boxing.
45:18
Yeah. Huge shout out to Brett, UCA, for instilling
45:22
the boxing community in London. What he has done
45:26
is generational. The next generation of kids
45:30
just coming out there and making an impact, and
45:34
we've seen it with Cassius. True. But before
45:38
we even get to that point, there was a huge issue
45:40
in London, and that was the homeless population.
45:45
Yeah, obviously a lot of businesses in downtown
45:48
London were affected. People stopped coming downtown
45:50
as well. Whether it's for, you know, threats
45:55
used to abuse a family member. The point you
45:59
got kicked out and had nowhere else to go. So
46:01
seeing that impact, one, making an impact on
46:05
the community, that's huge. Also understanding
46:09
that, you know, I wanted to get into boxing.
46:12
Yeah. Older age, it's hard, you know, time, working
46:18
a full -time job, so you're trying to balance
46:20
both. That's why these events are really cool,
46:23
because they love, like, they're designed for
46:26
people who have never done it before and are
46:29
getting into it. Your word that just dropped
46:33
your speech was, Fartan's been on hold for the
46:37
past two years. Yeah. So those two years, Fartan
46:41
MS has dominated. Now we have both. where you're
46:44
getting people out there in the community who
46:46
have never done boxing before, being able to
46:50
get into the ring and find a new task that they've
46:53
never done before, whether it's for at -bats
46:57
or for homelessness, people are about to make
47:00
more of a big batch. So I want you to be sure
47:02
to fight that as you're coming back. Well, it's
47:05
just cool. Regardless of the cause, every cause...
47:10
for the most part, is a good cause. Because you're
47:13
doing things to better your community, to better
47:16
the people around you, to raise awareness for
47:18
problems in general. And the more people get
47:21
involved in these things, the more people will
47:24
be actively thinking about this thing, this is
47:27
a problem. Hey, what do we do about that? Oh,
47:29
there's things we can do about it. Not just like,
47:32
oh, well, that's a problem, but I can't, there's
47:36
nothing I can do that will ever impact this problem.
47:40
It is what it is. But when you see organizations
47:43
like Fight to End, Unshared MS, doing things
47:47
and making a real live impact, not only in the
47:51
people involved in the event, but the entire
47:53
community, raising awareness, raising all this
47:56
stuff, it's just really cool to see. I'm looking
47:59
forward to them coming back. But I guess we can't
48:03
try and sign up for that because you've got to
48:06
be a first -timer. I got that one win under my
48:10
belt. No, I just can't. I'm just not allowed.
48:12
You know what I mean? It's not allowed. I'll
48:14
hold you back. Yeah. So if you're paying attention
48:17
to our podcast and you're like, I kind of want
48:19
to get into the ring, we have a great event for
48:21
you. Yeah. You can join, get into that ring,
48:24
get training at Boomers. And then after, once
48:26
you've graduated from that, you can come over
48:28
and punch out MS. Yeah. So you can make the transition.
48:32
Before you do more events, obviously we have
48:35
the Novice Tournament coming in August. Yeah,
48:37
well, that's going to be cool, too. At BMO, we
48:40
spend enough time at BMO. Coming in and he is
48:43
from downtown London. So we got the marketing
48:46
manager from downtown London coming on the podcast
48:48
as well. Downtown London, the organization, not
48:51
just some random guy from downtown. It's like
48:54
I also live downtown. Like I'm a guy from downtown
48:57
London. Spread awareness of things that you can
49:01
do to get out into the community. It's cool because
49:05
like. When I was at Hutton House, our office
49:07
was downtown and they came in every once in a
49:10
while and would give us their brochures, like
49:13
their posters. So we always have one hanging
49:15
up in the office. Like obviously you can find
49:18
it all online, but it's cool just seeing it and
49:21
seeing all the different things that are happening
49:23
in London. Well, just like not even just the
49:25
initiatives, like just different events. So like
49:28
you don't realize there's literally things to
49:30
do all the time. Great opportunities to get tickets
49:36
to go to the London Majors that you may not have
49:39
done. Yeah, you don't realize when things are.
49:42
And it just kind of puts it all on one calendar,
49:45
which is cool. If you're listening to these podcasts
49:48
and you're not in London, London has a lot to
49:50
offer. Well, that's the thing. If you're bored
49:54
on a night, a lot of people will just be like,
49:58
oh, let me just Google things to do in London.
50:02
It'll just come up like, I don't know, the generic
50:06
things that like touristy things. Anderson Brewing,
50:10
Farhouse Brewing, Fork River Brewing. Hey, that's
50:13
just your personal ones. Storm State. London
50:16
Brewing Co -op. London Brewing Co -op. The Beer
50:19
Lab. No, that's not supply and demand. Mean Lotions.
50:23
Yeah. Canada Place or Canada Lake. Yeah. Oh,
50:29
you're just listing all the different things.
50:31
But yeah, there's a ton of different things to
50:33
do in London, but this will have all the different
50:35
events that are going on. The things that are
50:40
going on. All that's going on. All the different
50:44
markets that are happening. There's a lot of
50:47
cool things that are going on. Whatever festival
50:49
is happening at the time. We went to the festival.
50:53
It was raining, so it wasn't very busy. But no,
50:57
it was cool. Obviously, it would have been...
50:59
Like, would have been pretty busy if it wasn't
51:04
raining. The weather was a little bit better.
51:05
But it's just, it's cool to see how much stuff
51:10
is happening in London. Another great example
51:12
is like, you're driving down London and you see
51:14
this orange truck. Food truck. It's not a food
51:18
truck, technically. It's an ice cream truck.
51:20
And if you shut up, like, during May 24 weekend,
51:23
me and the wife went over to Springbank Park
51:25
or Springbank Gardens. And there's a few trucks
51:29
on top. We got our ice cream from No No No Next,
51:33
which was honestly probably one of my favorite
51:36
ice cream places to get ice cream from. Honestly,
51:38
to die for. I don't know what a Jamaican float
51:41
is. It's amazing. That doesn't help me. Well,
51:48
there's also like the ginger beer. Okay. Yeah.
51:51
So it's really, really good. So if you get a
51:54
chance, check her out. Awesome training, man.
51:57
Chinaman was there, too. Yeah, he was at Poutine
52:00
Fest, too. Obviously, that's not poutine, but...
52:03
It was poutine. It was, too. But there's so much
52:05
in London that's going on. It's like, as we're
52:08
a 2014 lifestyle podcast, we also like to get
52:11
outside and do different things. Yeah. So it's
52:15
always great to go and check out... I'll be able
52:18
to have chow food. If I didn't get any, I know...
52:22
Oh, yeah, because you were right at the end.
52:25
Yeah. I missed all the opportunities for Chow.
52:28
Obviously, Natalie speaks. Yeah. I feel like
52:32
she posted where the truck is going to be for
52:35
the month. She's like the spokesperson for Chow.
52:38
So, honestly... I just need to get back up to
52:42
her and spray her. I'm not a creeper, but just
52:44
find out where the truck is because she's going
52:46
to tell me exactly where it is. It's like she
52:48
has a doctor on them and lets us know exactly
52:51
where they are at all times. Or they just tell
52:53
her. That's true. Also, on Milky Way Apparel,
52:58
you can also get your gear for 1 ,000 seats.
53:01
Yeah. We're two weeks away from the boxing event.
53:07
It's kind of weird. We have a little bit more
53:09
time on our hands. It's so weird. Yeah, I mean,
53:12
obviously, we're both super busy still. But,
53:14
like, it's weird when you go from, like, training
53:17
three to four times a week to not. It's just
53:22
weird having all that time back. It was like,
53:25
Morales is a solid dog, and he deserves the love.
53:31
And then having fires again. Don't do that. Hang
53:33
out with the wife as well. Yeah. So trying to
53:36
do that. Obviously, I'm going to get back to
53:38
training soon, but it's good to, like, settle
53:41
a little bit. Yeah. Also, I have to work a few
53:44
more shifts at Tastever, so if you're ever hungry,
53:47
you need to come to Tastever. We know what to
53:48
find. I feel like I just text you and ask you
53:51
if you're working. Like, get... Honestly, if
53:56
you shout out to London, it's actually a pretty
53:58
amazing place to live. Well, London's just a
54:01
weird, big, small place. I don't know. I feel
54:04
like we've still got to... talk about figuring
54:06
out how to organize some sort of event. And what
54:10
event should we host? Whether it's at Club Palace
54:12
or somewhere else, what should we host? What
54:15
do you guys want to do? What will treat you guys
54:17
to, you know, interact with us? Yeah. What sport
54:21
would you like us to be you in? That's a great
54:26
idea. That's true. I do want to do a shout out
54:30
to Bronson Friedow. You posted this week, it
54:35
was a great insight on life. It's a lot of what
54:41
we talked about on our podcast. You always have
54:44
a plan, and then you're going to have to live
54:47
it accordingly. Obviously, as a financial advisor,
54:50
it's never a bad time to start. Sometimes your
54:53
marriage will go down. Sometimes your family
54:55
gets sick. Your friends get sick. There's a lot
54:58
of things that are going down negative in your
55:00
life. 5K, I think, or 5K or something like that.
55:03
But yeah, he's been doing a lot, so he's always
55:07
putting in the work. So I know he was one of
55:10
our guests, and you can see how he himself puts
55:13
his mind to what he's doing. Yeah. Well, please,
55:17
I hope he doesn't ask us to do one of those,
55:20
because you know we'll end up doing it. We'll
55:23
always take time for everything. It was like
55:24
Tough Mudder. I wanted to do one of those at
55:26
some point. I don't know if I ever want to do
55:27
Tough Mudder. I don't know. We'll see. Be interesting.
55:30
Well, just because I've never done any of that
55:32
stuff. And, I don't know, because of this and
55:37
because of the way I different things. Diversify
55:42
your opportunities. Yeah. Like, oh, yeah, what
55:45
did you do? Oh, I did boxing. Like, obviously,
55:48
I've played soccer my entire life. But, like,
55:50
try different things. Like, trying disc golf.
55:56
Yeah. Like, doing all those little things. I
55:59
think that's important for everybody to try things.
56:04
That's kind of what we're all about. Get off
56:07
the bench, do stuff. One thing I'll say is it's
56:14
a lot easier now to say yes to things. You can
56:18
always say no. I don't want to do that now. We
56:20
don't know what doors you might be closing by
56:23
you saying no. Well, exactly. And those doors
56:26
that you're saying no to. Oh, I'll do it later.
56:30
I'll do it later. Later may never happen. You
56:33
may never get this opportunity again, so why
56:36
not say yes now? You might meet somebody, whether
56:40
it's a partner, a friend, that, you know, because
56:43
you said yes. Yeah. You got scared of something,
56:46
and now you have a new project. What is that?
56:49
Well, some of them are going to Quebec. Yeah,
56:52
Quebec. To Quebec Open. But, yeah. going out
56:56
and if you're not sure how to get out there just
56:59
you can go on those like downtown london well
57:03
obviously we're going to talk to them next week
57:05
reach out to us well like there's so many different
57:08
