Roundabouts, Criminal Records, and NBA Millions: Bobby D's Return
Navigating Nova Scotia's roundabouts is just the beginning of Bobby D's adventures in the latest episode of You Would Think. Fresh from getting his 100K YouTube plaque for his fitness channel, Bobby recounts how a simple drive turned into an impromptu speed test on empty roads, followed by an unexpected street race against a classic Trans Am on Bedford Highway – "For four sets of lights, we hooked for all four sets... Mr. Trans Am, I beat your ass!"
The laughs continue as Bobby shares his recent RCMP visit for a criminal record check that took an unexpected turn when they called him back immediately after leaving. Someone shares his exact name and birthdate, causing confusion in the system: "I'm pretty sure it's not me. Fingers crossed." This prompts Mikey to recount their border crossing nightmares, including being interrogated about a mysterious "Bruce" with the same last name.
NBA talk dominates as the hosts break down the astronomical contracts recently signed by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Devin Booker, marveling at how the league is approaching "a million dollars a game" for star players. They offer candid insights about Bronny James and Cooper Flagg's summer league performances, noting how the media focuses on Bronny despite Cooper's superior talent. Music memories surface through discussions of Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron's departure and Scarlett Johansson becoming the highest-grossing actor of all time.
The episode wraps with hilarious reflections on their youthful adventures at ski hills, including encounters with "Big Bertha" (a bong, not a person) and impassioned commentary on proper highway lane etiquette. Join these longtime friends for stories that range from everyday frustrations to wild adventures from their past, all delivered with their signature blend of candor and humor.

So if you look back here, you can see we have the hundred thousand plaque from YouTube, uh, for my actual channel, uh, coach Bobby, that I run called muscle and fiction, but we're putting it here because Mike's my buddy and we're sharing it, so we're doing.

That's where I'm doing my fitness stuff and our podcast is also up there as well, and you can watch it on Apple and Spotify and other places too Buzzsprout, all right, yep, okay. So I was late coming to the studio today, mike. Now I'm new to Nova Scotia. Recently I came back from being away a long time prison, but I didn't want to say that, you know I got out bitches.
Speaker 2:Is that what you're calling Good lawyer? Is that what you're calling your first marriage? Yeah?
Speaker 1:Conjugal visits were not good, that's right. She used to fuck me. I don't know why that. Okay, so his name was jimmy. I don't understand that. Um, jimmy I got I got a big set of tits. Jimmy had big tits. Yeah, jimmy, good old jimmy. Everybody misses jimmy. Anyway, go see jimmy's on. Uh, poor, uh, only fan. So I'm late to the studio today because I got lost driving. Now, why did I get lost? Well, nova Scotia, mike seems to love these roundabouts now.
Speaker 2:I like them.
Speaker 1:Okay, I like them too, but I'm fucking lying. I don't like them. And here's why, if, if you're not in the exact right lane, like so I knew where, I could see where I wanted to go, I need a new pair of sneakers, I want a white pair of sneakers. So I wanted to go to sport check so I can see where I wanted to go, and all I did was, instead of going down, I went up, right it's. The sign was big enough, it was in two lanes, so I went okay, and then I went up. And then it goes dark, mess went great, mm-hmm. So I'm driving. There's no turn, and they know that people are going to you turn. There's a fence the whole way in the middle, like the whole way. So I'm thinking, well, this is good chance to try out the new Lexus, because there's no cars. Mm-hmm, dude, allegedly I was doing 185, allegedly, allegedly. Here's the thing there's nobody on the road, there's nobody on either side, right, like. It reminded me of covid when nobody's driving but I'm just like there's no cars.
Speaker 2:That's weird. For a day like today it was weird, but I don't think anybody want.
Speaker 1:I didn't even know where I was going yeah, yeah, right so, anyway, I got to another roundabout, okay, and so I I slowed down to 30 and went, okay, and then try to gauge ahead and then get back on, and then I found my way to you, okay, so that's the driving story for why I'm late to the studio. So I apologize for you waiting for whatever. Yeah, all right now. The second thing was, um, recently, uh, I got a new license plate, uh, for my, for my car. I didn't have one, so now I have a new plate and, uh, I don't know my license plate number, right, sure?
Speaker 2:that's new. Why would you well I? I got a vanity plate oh, did you, yeah, okay, yeah, I got a vanity plate and it says uh was hers.
Speaker 1:So that's for my other wife.
Speaker 2:This is I took this all that money about this car right, so, but uh, now here's the thing.
Speaker 1:So when I came into Lexus the other day, people that know, know. So I come in the Bedford Highway to go up Sorry, I didn't come in the Bedford Highway I went back to Bedford Highway. I came in the highway highway and drove along Joseph Howe, okay. Now you know, there's like one, two, four sets of lights there. So this guy pulls up in the Smokey and the Bandit, trans, am beside me at the first set of lights. So I look at him, he looks at me. I'm like, okay, I know, you know what's happening here. So for four sets, allegedly for four sets of lights, we hooked for all four sets, like all four, do, do, do. And you're already going know this, mr Trans, am I beat your ass? I beat your ass. Okay, six-speed manual fucking thing in second, third year. My neck hurts.
Speaker 1:Right and he just left and he's like right on buddy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah so anyway, but beautiful car. I gave him that. It was a beautiful. I thought where you're going was when you hit up to that. No right turns on the red light part where you get up onto the 102 that that the guy went around you or something no, but that's that's the yeah, that's that's the other way, that's when I can't, so yeah oh yeah, that's a new thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah that's not the only place, apparently no, they put them in a few spots, they put them in a bunch of places and I heard on the radio people bitching and complaining about and they're like, hey, man, read the rules.
Speaker 1:One guy get out of his car I've heard walked behind, yeah, and said hey, the rules are like you know, and the person's like yeah, so, yeah, because they got honked at, yeah, because they stopped.
Speaker 2:Because they stopped, they're actually following the rules, following the right turn on the red. Yeah, right turn on red now.
Speaker 1:Uh, so that's fine, all right. So driving in general, we're going to come back to that in a minute, but right now I want to talk about my criminal background. Yeah, or my criminal record. Back you're being criminal being a criminal, being a criminal so since you just got out of jail right right ever tell you about the mug shots. No, don't even bother taking mug shots anymore, just let me pick from the book oh, that's from previous ones.
Speaker 2:Right, there's no points.
Speaker 1:You know, yeah, all right, so anyway, anyway, I have to go get fingerprints done through a criminal records check because I'm applying for jobs. I was going to retire, but there's so many cool jobs out there right now, mike and I don't have any money. So you know, living in my car, yeah, all right, so turns out I go. Ladies very nice. Uh, you know which happens sometimes. All right, so ladies very nice.
Speaker 1:She tells me yeah, she says okay, fill this out and fill all the paperwork out, put the name that I'm not going to say where I'm going to work, and, uh, she goes okay. So we'll call you if there's a problem and I go okay. Well, what kind of problem? Well, you know, if somebody else has a warrant out or they're wanted and they have the same name. You've been out of the country for quite a few years and the same out of the country jail.
Speaker 2:I've gotten a few letters remember which I might still have here. That just seem so random that, yeah, do you remember these? Possibly They'd come in and it was like uh-oh. Yeah, has somebody got my identity right now. Yeah, we thought about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:It all worked out in the end. Yeah Well, actually, maybe it didn't this son of a bitch, maybe it didn't.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, so anyway. So anyway, the lady tells me you goes, it doesn't work that way. I'm like, okay, I'm not home. Five minutes after I left the RSMP, the phone rings. I answer the phone. Hi, it's Sandy. I'm like, okay, she goes, you got to come back in. I'm like, okay. So basically what that means is this Somebody has the exact same birth date as me, right, and the exact same name as Okay, so they have to prove that I'm not the person that the warrants out for that, whatever.
Speaker 2:And I'm like well, I'm pretty sure it's not me. Fingers crossed. Pretty sure, did I ever tell you what? The time we got stopped at the States going down crossing the border? And it was not my name, it was just same last name, uh-oh. And they said are you but your brother's a son of a bitch? What's your relation to Bruce? I don't have a Bruce. Oh well, we have a Bruce on file here?
Speaker 1:Of course they do.
Speaker 2:And anyway, we were at.
Speaker 1:They're wonderful American police ossifers.
Speaker 2:Oh, we were stuck there for probably an hour getting grilled on my relationship. On who the hell Bruce is On who this guy is, because we had the same last name. That was it, nothing else but yep.
Speaker 1:Whoever the fuck you are, bruce Duguay, kiss my ass, cause our boy some problems. That's bullshit, bruce.
Speaker 2:We don't know who Bruce is. You know there was another time we were going across the border and this one was better. But we're going down and we're bringing my wife's mom down to go visit the relatives down there?
Speaker 1:Sure, yeah, but we had a bunch of stuff in the car. Sure, yeah, yeah, well, we had a bunch of stuff in this place, right here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we had a bunch of car stuff in the car. So we pull up and I hand the passports over and they said, oh, you're giving us three passports we only see two years. Like, oh, no, mother-in-law's in the back, but we had so much stuff in the car they couldn't stuff. It's like, oh, we're just bringing it down to my sister-in-law, oh, you're allowed to go on vacation too. Right, again we got pulled aside again because they thought we're bringing that, we're bringing claude's mom down and gonna leave her down there in the states. Right, yeah, now that probably wouldn't fly now, but back then they let us through. But we still got grilled mother-in-law.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I got a story for you about a mother-in-law. So, uh, we were out in the you know bad part of the neighborhood where we grew up there and uh, you know, my grandmother everybody's hey, your grandmother is having a problem. We look outside and there's three guys whooping my grandma and they're like aren't you gonna go help? And I said no, I'm pretty sure she's got them yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So yeah, you don't mess with my grandma.
Speaker 1:Right, my grandma worked on the docks.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, she's a Lebanese mafia right, but yeah, yeah, yeah, so she handled that no problem.
Speaker 1:Now I have to go this Wednesday to get my fingerprints done. I'm a little concerned, so I'm going to keep you on speed dial for that day. I'm in the RCMB again. Yeah, right, you know.
Speaker 2:I can vouch for them. Yep Right, but here's the problem.
Speaker 1:I? I give you this. What's the difference between a friend and a best friend? It's pretty simple. So, after a hard night of drinking and whatever you're doing, right, you're both in the clink jail, right? You're looking at each other going wow, it was a hell of a night. Right, that's a, that's a friend. A best friend is the guy who comes and bails both you idiots out and says, hey, man, smarten up, you're 47 years old with three kids. Yeah, weary clothes. That's another story.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, yeah All right.
Speaker 1:So another way you can find a best friend or a friend. A friend will help you move your house? Yeah, Not me. I have a bad back from high-risk maneuvers in the bedroom, getting out of bed and a best friend will help you move a body right, right, by the way, the new Lexus three-body trunk. It's impressive, impressive, yes.
Speaker 2:Okay now, Mike. Now will a best friend kind of like start to ask my wife questions while she's digging a six-foot hole in the backyard?
Speaker 1:I've already asked those questions and I went. That's way too big for one and I went wait a minute.
Speaker 2:Okay, honestly, I just want a pond.
Speaker 1:There's a six foot. I mean, I measured it. It's six feet deep and it's a double wide like baby grand piano and between the two there must be a third. There might be a third.
Speaker 2:There might be a third. Yeah, is the neighbor been pissing her off lately, right, maybe you know we don't know, we don't know.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know what I was watching today, mike. I saw some highlights.
Speaker 2:I saw Bronny James. Remember him, I do, yeah.
Speaker 1:Against Cooper Flagg, that one Against Cooper Flagg and Cooper Aitam a little bit, but uh, brawny held his own a little bit too. So yeah, but I'll tell you this, the interview, this is what's so stupid. They don't interview cooper flag after the game, they interview brawny. They interview brawny. I'm like are you kidding me? So they say you know what do you think of cooper flag?
Speaker 2:what are you gonna say?
Speaker 1:right, all right. The white boy terrible. What are you gonna say? He's gonna say exactly what he said coached. He's gonna be a hell of a player. This guy's going to be a great player Unbelievable skills, talent for the age unreal. Well-deserved of the first round. He's only 18. He is going to be a hell of a player I'm telling you right now he is. He's very skilled, very bright it seems, Makes the right plays, and he's the one thing I've anything.
Speaker 2:I've watched him play some college games and everything you hear about him is that he just plays the right way, so I so what I read, that first game, or what I saw from the highlights as well, didn't have a great game but they put him at point. Jason kid said he wants to give him a try. So getting picked up full court, you know, with guys that are his size probably way more than him.
Speaker 1:Men, men, nba, no boys allowed. Guys who have some experience right.
Speaker 2:And he struggled a little bit, but I think he only had one turnover the whole game, which is pretty impressive, right.
Speaker 1:Like you said, he's 18. This is it.
Speaker 2:He's 18, but he makes the right plays, he knows what he's doing, so I think he's got a bright future right I think he's got a hell of a.
Speaker 1:It's not. It's not a hot take, by the way.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah yeah, you know number one overall. Everybody knew where he was going I think we feel pretty safe.
Speaker 1:I think so. I think we feel pretty safe. There now the big thing we talked about our boy sga making all that money and then now we have another boy, devin devin book, devin booker. He comes out and signs just a few million more for the two years.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was just a couple days later.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a couple days later, If you're giving SGA this.
Speaker 2:I want more.
Speaker 1:Listen, there's no way that didn't happen in the management office. They went okay, we're going to re-sign. You go, okay. Have you seen on Instagram SGA?
Speaker 2:Yeah more than that. Yeah, okay, how much I don't care. Well, you just traded away kd.
Speaker 1:Right, so there's money trying to figure out a way to get rid of beal. Yeah, what happened? You're telling me you want to build around me. Give me the money, right? Yep, kuba, goody jr, show me the money. Yeah, right, and I love devon, I love me too great player.
Speaker 2:But I don't know, man, what's that 145, is it 145? Yeah well, we were talking about this.
Speaker 1:We're not far away, having a million dollars a game a million dollars a game here.
Speaker 2:So somebody is going to be making 82 million a year here. Someone's going to be they're going to be getting paid a million dollars a game. That's crazy.
Speaker 1:Look, I'm quiet here's the thing I can think of being 300 years old and going to school with jesus. I remember when, babe ruth, they gave him a big deal in major league baseball there right, don't ask me how much it was, but he said this he goes. Uh, we're not. He didn't say this. One of the sports announcers said oh, pretty soon, these, these athletes are going to make as much as the president. Yeah, okay, the president wish he could make this much money. Yeah, yeah, because the president would give up and go into basketball. Right, you know? So I don't know. Anyway, it is what it is. Now they come out and say like this is a big shock. Oh, halliburton's 0-3 here, mike, do you know why? Why, well, it was ACL, of course. Well, everybody knows he's over for a year. Yeah, how was that big news?
Speaker 2:Well, I think the news is that he's like. I think they're already saying we're just not even going to bring him back.
Speaker 1:Well, there's no point, right Same with Tatum.
Speaker 2:I don't think they've announced on Tatum.
Speaker 1:They haven't announced anything.
Speaker 2:But just don't come back. Don't be stupid, Lillard oh well, you know, imagine if Lillard goes and signs with you know Golden State. What a lineup that would be Lillard's not coming back next year either.
Speaker 1:No, that's two, three man.
Speaker 2:There's a thing. So we were talking about that Mind the Game podcast. So KD was talking about you know, once he had his Look at all the top-level players. But what he was saying was where Lillard's going to be able to do those like kind of sidestep deep threes anymore, because you're not going to have that same kind of power right, right. So it'll be interesting to see how lillard game lillard's game changes with this entry right well, I mean, everybody's game changed right.
Speaker 1:Kobe's too kobe's did you know now I'll be honest with you. I don't think drance changed that much because of how he plays.
Speaker 2:He's just what I mean because he's raised up over seven feet tall and's like.
Speaker 1:I don't have to jump, I can just here walk me Right you know he's Adam and he's 6'11" I think.
Speaker 2:Is that what it is? Does he say he's 6'11"? Well, his wingspan is like 7'4". Oh, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1:But I remember when they actually I don't know when it was, it was years back where they, you know, okay, six, eight, we're gonna round it up. Okay, six eight, now, no, six ten. Okay, right, you know me. So now I think it's the real, the real height. Sure, yeah, because back in the day you had no idea. And then you go well, he says he's seven feet, and he says he's six nine, he's taller than he's taller than the other guy and him what like, yeah, you just scratch your camera angles right.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's the camera that's right.
Speaker 2:Well, you know what I?
Speaker 1:need.
Speaker 2:I need a camera angle that's like up, so I look like I'm seven feet tall, being four foot eleven and a hobbit yeah like greg right now is sitting about 10 feet in front of me, just so that we look like we're this yeah, that's right perspective totally perspective now being four foot nothing whatever. What did you? Four foot, four foot 11 at my best, you know I could buy those lifts.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can.
Speaker 2:Right, you know, now here's what you don't know.
Speaker 1:Do you know who Brad Williams is? No, Brad Williams is a comedian. He's a. He's a little person. Okay, Well, the thing is yeah, it's not true. No, he said he's a little person. That's the joke. I got caught on it.
Speaker 2:I told you before, never underestimate what's coming out of Bobby's mouth. You never know what's real or what's not right.
Speaker 1:Muscle infection. We tell a lot of good stories, but a lot of them are real.
Speaker 2:If you want to know the truth.
Speaker 1:I will tell you online. You just write in. Just write in but a lot of listen, a lot of it is true, it really is allegedly, allegedly yeah it's a definite maybe. Yeah, it's a definite, maybe all right.
Speaker 2:Now. So talking about those contracts, yeah, go ahead. So you know, we were talking the other day about I want one of those contracts, mike. We were talking on the last podcast about how the Lakers, you know like they got two max players and now they Now they're screwed Yep, say all that and then throughout this week, okay, see, sign Shay. Yeah, and they signed, check to a max extension. They signed J Jalen, j Williams, what's his name?
Speaker 1:Uh, jalen, uh, it was Williams Williams. Yeah, so they signed him to a max.
Speaker 2:So now they've got three guys to max contracts and they've got a bunch of their role players still signed for those mid-level oh they kept everybody. And they're not even going to exceed whatever that tier two or level two threshold or whatever it is.
Speaker 1:It's 800 and some million, though it's crazy yeah.
Speaker 2:But Boston just ran into that right.
Speaker 1:Boston couldn't afford to keep everybody together, couldn't afford to keep them.
Speaker 2:So it'd be interesting. I just can't see how OKC's going to be able to continue to do this but again the one difference is is that you know they've got those draft picks and there's so many.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not like it's one or two, it's like five or seven or something, so they can just keep somebody goes, bring in somebody new oh, it's just you know, and they got a, they got.
Speaker 2:They seem to be able to pick them right but here's the other thing.
Speaker 1:You know, the money's flying right if you. If you want to win everybody takes less money and you could stay together for a long time and win, but nobody seems to want to do that. Like a couple guys over the years, I'll take less so we can get this guy in. Did it work out? Not really.
Speaker 2:Miami did. Okay, that one did. Ron Bosch and Wade took a little bit less right.
Speaker 1:And you know what I feel so bad for Bosh having to shorten his career like that with those blood clots.
Speaker 2:Oh, horrible. Bosh was like. I love Bosh.
Speaker 1:Love that guy man, great player, great player.
Speaker 2:Took a lot of shit when he went to Miami.
Speaker 1:How quick.
Speaker 2:People forgot how dominant and good that man was in Toronto right and how quick he just gone from the league, just like that Gone Well, I'm worried. Quick he just gone, like from the league, just and then just like that, just like that gone. Yeah, well, unfortunately, because braun leaves and then it's finally like okay, now it's bosh and wade. Bosh has finally got his opportunity to be. Like okay, I don't need to listen to all this crap about being a third.
Speaker 1:Now I can do. You know third. You know third option.
Speaker 2:I can now be a second option. Yeah, and now that crap happens to him, right?
Speaker 1:but I mean, who was the biggest? That whole thing, remember. I'm gonna take my talents to south beach way to go rich paul, because I know that lebron didn't want to do that hey, like I said, the intent at the time was good.
Speaker 2:He just it was poorly done, poorly done right yeah, all that money from that uh announcement went to whatever charity. It went to right like it was. The good intent was good. I know a lot of people that that's what turned a lot of people off, my brother included. It did I hated.
Speaker 1:I hated that guy after that right yeah, oh, I didn't hate him, just like he could have did better. You know I hate the strong world.
Speaker 2:I don't hate anybody hey, if that's the biggest misstep, this guy's had come on man come on.
Speaker 1:No, no, no his biggest misstep is he's never read malcolm x's book.
Speaker 2:It's on page one.
Speaker 1:It's still on page one. My illiterate brother read it for crying out loud yeah, peace to you, bro yeah so yeah, I mean uh, just yeah. So one of my favorite bands, mike pearl, jam. Now we heard something. What did you hear?
Speaker 2:uh, well, yeah, you and I were talking about it, I think, um, the drummer matt cameron is. Is uh calling it quits after?
Speaker 1:calling 20 some years, with 20 some years, but people don't even know who did he play for first soundguard? Soundguard for 11 years.
Speaker 2:Well, you've been for a long time, until mid 90s, late 90s yeah yeah and went to pearl jam drum with them for a while and then I think he went back and was drumming for both he was drumming for both for quite a few years after the fact, and then the rumor around the water cooler not our rumor, but the rumor around the water cooler was he wanted the food fighters job.
Speaker 1:But we already know that the food fighters just hired a drummer I think so yeah, that's what we heard. We don't we have to look that up for sure, because that tyler jamie pull that up, damn it, we still don't have jamie, we still don't have a producer, we're looking. We're looking. If you're interested in being paid in mothballs, sure, what else? Eggs, wait, wait a minute. We can make a deal here. We could make a deal, mike's Chickens, lay Faberge Eggs One egg an episode.

Speaker 2:Yeah, they just like you know. They'll put the hold on it for $250 and then they charge you what you actually paid and then you get reimbursed the rest. So it never comes. You'll see it on your visa statement.
Speaker 1:There'll be a, I understand but I just want to say to everybody watching and whoever did this to my fucking bank card you motherfuckers, I did not know this. I looked at my. I'm going to have to call the bank. Here's what you don't know I've had so many problems recently with my credit card and other things I'm like is this one more thing, If I have to go back there one more time.

And I don't mean brand new to me, I mean brand new like off the showroom floor, basically, and it has a CD player and I don't have any CDs, so I borrowed Mike's awesome CDs.

I went okay, good, that's the idea, isn't it, mike? It is. Then you're not supposed to age. Now I'll tell you what did you age? The amount of zeros on my bank account. It's gone down right, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:Celsius out here today right, yeah. So where I came from, that's what it's like at 4 am, that's at 4 am, yeah, yeah and then it goes quite a bit hotter All those years in Marvel fans, dc, you know.
Speaker 2:Maybe Now the new Superman movie just started, came out yesterday. Is he black?
Speaker 1:No, I read somewhere the new Superman's black and gay.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no. It's David Corning. Okay, I don't know. I read that a while back. They said that maybe it Corning. Okay, I don't know. I read that a while back, I think they were talking about it.
Speaker 1:Well, I saw a joke about it, which is probably why they didn't do it. They said the new Superman's black. So that can help all the African-Americans that didn't grow up with a dad. Oh brutal, I'm like. Oh, you guys are rough. I did not say that Somebody else said that I'm like that's ooh, that is Skip Bayless. Yeah, if you don't know who Skip Bayless is. That's the guy that loves LeBron.
Speaker 2:Yeah Right, skip Right Loves him. Yeah, watch our show. Skip Go, fuck yourself. You know his career is kind of tied to LeBron, like we talked about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's right, he's going to have to retire.
Speaker 2:What's he going to do now?
Speaker 1:right, right, he's not. He's the next james to play in the nba, I guess, and I wouldn't be surprised if after lebron leaves he doesn't get played in the nba anymore.
Speaker 2:You say that, but we just we were just talking about how cooper flag brawny. They play and they interview brawny. Yeah, right, so he is still. He has that drop right and that's. That's the thing about. It is that the nba is a star-driven league. Now. Brawny's not a star, the kid's a really good player. Yeah, yeah, you know he has flashes, but if he's got that much of a following, I just can't see them letting him walk right.
Speaker 1:I mean I he?
Speaker 2:might not play a whole lot. He doesn't play a whole lot, he gets out there.
Speaker 1:I mean what he's going to have to do basically, and I'm sure he knows this and his dad's probably told him this uh, play defense, son, just step up your defense well, that's what he is good at right, he's small. I think he's small. Yeah, cooper flag was way bigger than him.
Speaker 2:He's like backing him down grades a cooper flag six, eight, six eight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know brown, he's like four foot what? Nine?
Speaker 2:I honestly don't know he's.
Speaker 1:I think he's just like six one six well, he looks bigger because he's black right, but he but he's short people. He's not a tall man.
Speaker 2:He's so mad.
Speaker 1:He's not a tall he's definitely taller than me Twice the size of me, but he's probably so mad that he got Vanessa's height, not LeBron's.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, savannah's, oh sorry, oh, vanessa's, kobe Bryant's, that's right, sorry.
Speaker 1:Oh, he's like mom really.
Speaker 2:I got mom's height. Come on, man, look, look at this thing. Yeah Right, how tall is the other one? Oh, he's taller. Is he Six, four, I think?
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, he's up there but he's still going to grow. Brawny's done, brawny's done, that's done. They need to stretch him or something. Well crazy, yeah, I think he played point guard in high school. Oh my god it's big in Anthony Davis, did you hear about his recent injury Something?
Speaker 2:with his eye. I don't know what it was.
Speaker 1:Well, it's a serious one, actually Detached retina.
Speaker 2:Oh really.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which is fucking big problems, jesus Alright.
Speaker 2:It's like you called him. He's made of glass man. Yeah, you can't even look straight without getting an injury.
Speaker 1:Here's what they said and I was like, no, no, no, they go. Oh, it's all those hard bangs he took inside. And I'm like, no, that's not what. It can just happen. Your retina can just tear. It can just happen, Right, it happens usually to older people, right, so you know he is injured. They said he'll be fine for the season, right, so we'll see which side he can't see on and I'm sure the defenders will drive to that side. Yeah, Right, so I mean it is what it is, Okay, so back to Marvel. Now Scarlett Johansson. You might know her Heard of her. She's married to that dude on Saturday.

Speaker 2:Because of all the Marvel movies, she was in a lot of those as well, she was, but to blow those guys away.

Speaker 2:I saw the body.
Speaker 1:She looks better in clothes, okay. All right, so I mean it is what it is, I don't know. I mean now we talked about skiing before, mike, okay. Okay, there's this place, martok Ski Hill, where we used to go skiing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, the people of Martok sold it. They're retiring, okay, and if you don't know, in Nova Scotia we have another ski hill, also here, there's more than one, actually.
Speaker 2:There's Wentworth, there's another one, but we have Cape Smoky down in Cape.
Speaker 1:Breton Right and the Cape Smokey people. Cape Smokey Limited bought Ski Martok, but what they're going to do is they want to have it as a four-season resort. So they're, going to pump it up. I'm going to have to go check that out and see what they got going on in the summer.
Speaker 2:I'm sure they got zip lines and some other crazy shit going on there, right, yeah, but I mean go ski hills, you know well growing up where we grew up northern new brunswick you know they had, we had the ski hill there and it was great. We loved it.
Speaker 1:I'm skiing all the time but never did much with it in the summertime sugar loaf, yeah, sugar loaf in campbellton, campbellton, right yeah well, the reason I paused on that, because I can think of a story we got a few stories, oh shit we got a few stories, but before we we got a few stories.
Speaker 2:But before we do that, I was going to say what they did with the ski hill up there. Was they turned, they built a bunch of mountain bike trails through there, which of course was a brilliant idea.
Speaker 1:Well, that's probably what they're going to do here at the Montauk.
Speaker 2:That's where I was going with that yeah video of some guy that was just kind of traveling all over looking for really good uh mountain bike trails and did a story on that. One said how good it was like up in the. You know it's the old appalachian mountains up and up in northern new brunswick and that's a beautiful place to visit.
Speaker 1:Well, on the way here I see a lot of people on bikes out today because it's quite nice. So yeah, but uh, the sugar loaf. That was in the middle of the winter. We went up skiing, or I don't know who was skiing that was me and who else, steve.
Speaker 2:I think it was well. I know you're talking about the time we went up in your Mustang.
Speaker 1:I don't know which time we're talking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was one week A long time ago, you and I and my brother. Oh my God, I had a convertible.
Speaker 1:Mustang. It was an American car. It was in miles per hour. It's a nice car, fire engine, red, white leather. Drove it in the winter, yeah, rear-wheel drive, brutal, brutal, absolutely bat shit. Crazy in the middle of a snowstorm by the drive on the, yeah, but it wasn't even that.
Speaker 2:I think we had 11 people in that car well, the time that we went up, it was just me, you and my brother right that time, but another time we were going from party to party, we put 11 people. Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1:Remember that it was like a girl with like the stitch oh, and it was a yeah and 11 people in a four-seater car In a tiny little car yeah, but yeah, we had some good times up there, met a lot of cool people, but the best time that I never remember or misremember is the first time we went to Campbellton and I met the gentleman Mark Ouellette and he introduced us to a good friend of his named Big Bertha. Big Bertha, and Big Bertha fucks everybody and I got fucked by Big Bertha. Yeah, and there's stories behind that. Now Big Bertha, mike is a A bong.
Speaker 1:It's a bong, Mm-hmm. Now, back in those days, marijuana was illegal. This was a long time ago ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and of course my gay friend Harry. We did things we weren't supposed to do mine Allegedly, allegedly, but we did it and we don't regret it. And it was crazy because I don't remember any of it. And then apparently everybody was mad at me because I didn't talk to anybody. That I do remember. You kind of sat in the corner, but I recall having conversations with lots of people oh yeah in my head.
Speaker 1:Of course you did right, because I probably didn't take my schizophrenic medication. Yeah, but yeah, anybody schizophrenic? Of course we're just kidding, but take care of yourself, of course mental health is uh real and uh get to help. You need all right, definitely, but uh, I mean you know the stories, the stories, uh we'll tell more when they come up, but we don't.
Speaker 2:We don't script everything right, so we don't script but it is what it is and some of those stories are not allowed to be told yeah, I don't, yeah, yeah, we're gonna leave mark willett's name there.
Speaker 1:Mark well, that's a smart guy. I got a real good job, but uh, you know, back in the day we were all idiots right, we were some, some things he said, but that is what it is now um, we also have other things going on here. Uh, you want to want to hit it up, mike uh you're driving oh, the driving thing.
Speaker 2:I mean, we were talking about that um this is a hot take.
Speaker 1:We're both going to talk about this because I've had about enough yeah.
Speaker 1:I've only been driving for three weeks. I don't understand what's going on. Yeah, like the amount of people are driving this far behind me doing 110 on the way in here I'm one of the highways I'm doing 140. That car is stupid quick. I don't even realize. I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm doing one for people going by me, yeah, okay. And then I get here on this. What's? Whatever this road is prospect, yeah, I get behind a horse trailer with a giant uh, dually double cab pulling it, going 50. I got passed by an old lady and a walker, okay, which is which is why it took so long to get here too, because the line of cars behind us was ridiculous, because this guy just couldn't, and it turns out he also turned down your street of course, all the way down so, like off the main road, I'm like, oh are you kidding me coming down that road?
Speaker 2:you'll get it. You'll get it from all you know. Uh, so somebody going 50. It's a 70, 70 kilometer an hour zone so you'll go 50 and then you'll get the people that get right on your bumper and then if even if you're doing doing 90, say you're gonna have people on your bumper. It's just the way it is right I don't know and pass you on double solids like crazy.
Speaker 1:You know, there's this. There's a saying hurry up and wait. You know I watch guys go by me, then I get to where I'm going, right there, like they're right, there right there. Good job, you got a whole car length.
Speaker 2:I don't know, when I was younger it used to drive me bonkers. I used to want to. Oh, you're not passing me Growing up with the old man who we grow up on the single lane highways, when you pass, you pulled out and you had to gun it.
Speaker 1:That's right. People forget those that there was single lane.
Speaker 2:So, dad I remember coming back from Ontario. We're on the you know big three lane highways. Pulls out the past still doesn't guns. It's like you don't need to do that anymore.
Speaker 2:Right, Cause he's just the mentality just could not change, right? Yep, that's the thing. But yeah, coming down the road here, it's a, it's just people just want you to go what they're going, as if, as if the roads are made for them and that's it, and you have to go what they want to go and it's not. It's not the way it is, man. Like just chill out, relax. You know, now, as I've gotten older, it's just like go ahead.
Speaker 1:Well, I understand when you're pulling a horse trailer with the whole thing. I get that. Like you know, Nobody was honking or anything.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of guys that run their own businesses around here and they call those big trailers and you can't be going whipping around in those things.
Speaker 1:No, man, I'd rather they don't.
Speaker 2:There's animals in the back. Well, these are just guys that have the work trailers, right, yeah?
Speaker 1:yeah.
Speaker 2:The trailer's full of gear and probably expensive gear you don't want to be whipping around. I'm guaranteed expensive. 100% right, yeah, but anyway it's stop signs everywhere, but it's 70 kilometers an hour. Yeah, and it's a busy road and people run those stop signs on those sides.
Speaker 1:Oh, really All the time.
Speaker 2:Coming around on two wheels trying to get out and then, as much as they think they're doing, oh, I'm going to get out. You still have to slam your brakes on because you're going 70, and they're coming out like 30, 40 kilometers, but that's still yeah. I love when they just yeah, oh, yeah, they pull up and just go hammer that thing.
Speaker 1:Man, yeah, like today. You know where I have to come from. You have to come down. Like in this. The problem is you're coming down the highway doing 110, but people can come out, yeah right, and the lane's not long enough. So I'm just like you gotta scoot ahead, yeah, and go, okay, all right, and then you hammer it and then slide in later on. It's just like. Here's the other part. I don't like the right lane. I shouldn't be passing cars in the left lane. No, like the left lane is for passing, passing.
Speaker 2:Gretzky, it's not the way it is in the States, man Right.
Speaker 1:But here it's like I'm driving, I'm like like what are you, what are?
Speaker 2:you doing. It's meant to be that way, but it's not that way, you know it's dangerous.
Speaker 2:You got a person driving 90 in this one everybody's doing, then everybody's doing this one trying to get through and the whole holy there was one video that I saw, where the cops I don't know where it was somewhere down in the states they pulled some guy over that was in the actual furthest left lane, okay, and he said why are you pulling me over? For I'm going, you know, five over the speed limit. Why are you pulling me over and you're not grabbing these other guys, whatever he?
Speaker 1:says you're the one calling you over because you're that.
Speaker 2:You're causing problems because you're in that lane and Everybody that wants to go faster, breaking the law or not, that's right. You're causing issues now because now they're whipping into the middle lane and you get people from the right hand. I'm trying to get into the middle lane and you're you're creating a good he should have got pulled over. You're the one causing the issue.
Speaker 1:Good on you, officer. Proper thing, that is the right thing.
Speaker 2:Coffee and donut for you.
Speaker 1:Unbelievable. Got a joke for you. What's the difference between Barnum and Bailey's circus and a high-end brothel? What One's? An array of cunning stunts. Okay, you have to be careful with that one. You got to be careful, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, because if you say that wrong, no amblaze no, amblaze no understand.
