Jim tries to lose some weight. Steve tries pickleball for the first time. We talk about some good and bad movies we watched this week, include The Banshees of Inesherin. Why did Ottawa head coach DJ Smith bench Mathieu Joseph on the night he was scheduled to face his brother for the first time with tons of family coming to the game? Was play by play man Al Michaels cheering for the Chargers in the...

After a couple of weeks off, we've made a decision about the future of the show. We've had it with parents loudly instructing their very young children in public so we can all hear how amazing they are at parenting. P.K. Subban is honoured in Montreal.

We bring back some of our old Christmas tunes from our radio show. Mark Messier credits magic mushrooms for helping him with his elite leadership skills. Erik Karlsson keeps ripping it up. And Jim does a bunch of important interviews up in Sudbury then completely loses the recordings when he misplaces one SD card and has another one snap in two.

Jim knows how to treat our sponsor well. An awesome sports weekend; NHL Gambling Ads are everywhere; Amazing NFL Finishes

We get nostalgic about high school; Connor McDavid has shaken off the shyness and leading the Oilers. We're a little surprised Calgary was so nice to Matthew Tkachuk in his return. Mike Weir is President's Cup captain.

Will the Sens next owner really want to be upstaged by having Ryan Reynolds as the face of the franchise? Tiger Woods had two more surgeries this year. The only thing giving him trouble is the walking part of golf. He's not asking for it but should they offer to let him take a cart? It's time to sit Aaron Rodgers to see what his understudy can do.
