It's the Moach. I did not eat four burgers. Yes, it's the Moach. I don't want to go to Winnipeg. Nobody wants to go to Winnipeg. Yes, I love food. It's the Moach. I went online and kind of did a little surfing. It's a millennia.

Yes, it's the Moach. Halpert's fine, but, you know, Bruff is just grumpy all the time. Moj, Moj, Moj, Moj, Moj, it's the Moj. Welcome back to Halford & Proff. Josh Elliott-Wolf, Jason Brough here with you. We're going to get right to the phone lines. It is the Moj, BC Lions play-by-play voice, currently on a plane heading to Ottawa. So we'll get right into it. What are your expectations for the game this week, BC Lions?

Well, I mean, this team has to bounce back. I mean, the thing is, it's gut check time for the Lions, and they've got to go into Ottawa and play a really good Ottawa team that boasts the third-best defense in the league. Guys, we're actually taking off right now, so let's see how long we can sit. This is very exciting. Are you actually taking off right now, or are you still taxing? No, look, we are taking it. We are on the runway. So we'll see how long this goes. This could be the shortest hit ever since

Big Daddy Pratt had David Duvall on that one time and that lasts like 45 seconds. I just kind of want to hear the plane take off now. Moj, play-by-play the takeoff. Okay, we're probably about 30 feet off the ground. T-Mart's sitting to my right. He's on the phone. And we're probably about 30 feet off the ground. T-Mart's sitting to my right. He's on the phone.

And we're probably about 100 feet up now. We are ascending out of Vancouver Airport, and we are heading west over the ocean. Okay, Moj. Well, I'm going to wish you a good trip. By the way, buddy, happy birthday. 60 years old. Still out there flying planes like a young guy? What a boy.

So, here, this is how I'm going to end this. The Lions offense needs to take off like Moj's plane is right now. Okay, we're losing you. See you, buddy. Enjoy Ottawa. That was a great hit. That was a great hit. That was probably the best hit In Sportsnet 650 history

Does Moj not know To like Is it over now? I've been cutting audio The entire time It's over Blinks it's over You didn't even listen?

You didn't even listen to that? I was cutting audio To the podcast We asked one real question One real question And then I said Do the play by play Of the take off

And he was like We're in the air now He said Team Art is beside me I'm like He's holding hands And then I said, do the play-by-play of the takeoff. And he was like, we're in the air now. He said, T-Mart is beside me. I'm like, he's holding hands. He didn't even mention to me yesterday that they were at the air. It's this minor detail mode. I might be flying, by the way.

Just wanted to let you guys know this. I have a flight at that exact moment. Let me know 10 minutes ago. Well, hey, it's a good thing that it's Ask Us Anything Friday on the Halford & Brough show. And if you've got any Ask Us Anythings, text them into the Dunbar Lumber text line at 650-650 The Bridge Street, Dunbar Lumber. And Ladner has moved to Progress Way in Tilbury's Industrial Park. More room, more product, more awesome details at DunbarLumber.com. You know what is awesome? Is someone texting in earlier in the show and said, you guys don't have very good CFL coverage.

You could do better. And then ADOG replied, hey, we got Mojan to talk about the Lions at 8 o'clock. And then that happened. Well, technically I was correct. We did have Mojan, and he did talk about the Lions. And to that listener, now you know it's gut check time for the Lions. That's what Moj said. It's gut check.

They've got to get a win. They've got to go. Boys, we've lost four in a row. We were a little discombobulated last week when Nathan Moore came in, and I don't know if he should have started. He looked a little out of sorts, though. A lot of pressure on the Lions. They've got to tackle better defense.

They've got to defense better. That's what Mojo was going to say. And here's something else Mojo was going to say. You've got to win the battles in the trenches. Yes, he was going to say that. It all starts in the trenches. I will say to that listener, though, the texter, we did have three Lions guests this week.

We've had three, not one. Are we counting, Mojo? Sure. Not one, not two, but texter. We did have three Lions guests this week. We've had three, not one. Are we counting? Not two, sure. Not one, not two, but three Lions. Two and a half. We do tend to talk about the Lions a lot. We had the head coach and the defensive coordinator on the show. Yeah. They've been one of the principal talking points of this show for the last

two or three weeks now. Last week we were going really hard on getting more coverage. It was fun. Anyway, I didn't do the read, so I got to do some reads. Okay, do them.

trenches. The checking of the guts. They've lost four in a row. They've lost four in a row. I never would have known without that hit. Ottawa playing well and they got them back to back. They got a good defense in Ottawa. They do. The red flags. Red blacks. We are coming to you live from the Kintec studio. Kintec who says we don't have good CFL analysis?

Somebody texted and said they watched Moj's plane take off. There he goes. John in the fort. Okay, there's a couple real personal ones coming in here. Yeah. I like these ones. John in the fort. I am a groomsman in a wedding on Sunday and the best man

who was also supposed to MC just bailed on the wedding. We need the whole story for that. I need some story on that. The groom, John continues, just asked me to fill in as emcee as well as give a best man speech with a day and a half to prepare.

There were only three groomsmen, so it's me or the other guy. Would you say yes? And would you feel guilty for using chat GPT for your entire speech? First of all, yes, I would say yes. You have to do it.

You have to do it. Um, that's a horrible spot to be put. You know, if you don't like public speaking, that's, that's, that's difficult because you,

you got to MC it. And also you got to provide a, a best man speech, use whatever you have to use, to use to get the speech done. But hey, what have you learned about this show? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do better than other shows that people might be surprised about?

Me and Halford. You prepare. We prep. Yeah. You got to be prepped. I was going to say talk over each other. Yeah, that too. Yeah.

And if it's appropriate, assuming this guy didn't bail because of some tragedy um really make sure that everyone knows that you are stepping in as the hero in this situation yeah paint yourself as the hero of the wedding that's what i was like overshadow the bride if you have to. Right? I know it's her day, but it's also your day now because you are the hero of the wedding. You're just Michael Scott-ing it at this point.

Just making it all about you. That's what I was going to say though. That's the best approach is like before the speech, just be like, Hey, you know what? I found out I was doing this a day and a half ago. Yeah.

And then people are going to be like, wow, that was an awesome. You can make jokes too. Yeah. You can be like, what's your name again? Oh, man. Right? Think of all the content you have now because you were put in this situation.

You got to use the situation. Okay. This guy texted in and said, please don't read my name and you'll understand when we get into the Ask Us Anything. Hey, boys, I need some advice. What would you do in this scenario? I had a trip planned with the wife and kids nowhere far just an hour or so south of the border it was supposed to be

our last trip to get away and relax before the summer ends my in-laws caught wind and figured out where we were staying and booked themselves at the same place and dates without asking if we minded they basically invited themselves into our vacation and let's just say it's not going to be as relaxing. First question is, is it rude of me that I think that this is a bit much? And secondly, how do I make the best of this time off? First question, it is not rude of you to think this is a bit much. That is a bit much without even asking you.

Like, dude, the in-laws at least got to give you the, like, hey, we would also like to go on vacation. Do you mind if we go with you? Because you got to be on your best behavior around in-laws. That's the thing, right? I'm aware. Yeah. And to go to the lengths.

I can't be myself. And for them to research where they were going and to book on their own without asking, that's just too far. Are we being followed here? The thought had to cross their minds. How do you make the best of this time off? Tell your significant others. You deal with that.

I'm going golfing. Yeah. Maybe don't do that. Do that. I'm going golfing. Yeah. Well, maybe don't do that. Do that? Yeah. What I was going to say is you at least got to like plan some things, whether it's just by yourself or like with you and your significant other, to like that is separate from the in-laws.

Yeah. Because then you got to be like, well, we had this planned and like it's already booked. We can't like change it. And we didn't know you were coming, so we didn't book you on it. So you've got to lose them? Yeah, exactly. Like you're being trailed by the police and you're like,

all right, I'm going to slow down before this traffic light turns red. Yeah. And I'm going to hit the gas through the red and then they're going to get caught in the red. Exactly. Like that's what you're going to do to your in-laws? Don't mention that you're doing it

until you're about to go. Okay. He's texting. They need Jim Rutherford to suss out who the leak is in his family. Totally. Who told the in-laws where we were staying? Who told Grammy where we're going? MKL texts in.

I'm heading to Whistler for the weekend. What's the most fun thing to do in Whistler? I would also like this question answered because I'm going in a few weeks. And what the most fun thing to do in Whistler? I would also like this question answered because I'm going in a few weeks. And what did I tell you to do? You told me to get a massage. Well, I said more than that. I was really suspicious. You said,

go get rubbed down. I'm pretty sure that's what you said. And I'm going to be in Whistler that weekend too. So just so you know. No, I would go to Skandinav. Has anyone been there? Do you even know? It's out of my price range. It's not out of your price I would go to Skandinav. Has anyone been there? Do you even know? You guys... It's out of my price range. It's not out of your price range.

Sorry, where? Skandinav. Skandinav is a... Spa. A spa that has steam rooms, hot tubs, cold plunges. And it was actually started by a couple of former NHL players, Vinny Danfuss and Eric Desjardins. Desjardins.

Do you remember that call from Bob Cole? I'm aging myself again. And that place is awesome and relaxing. Whistler. Whistler, my friend. Oh, okay. Skandinov in Whistler. Yeah.

You've got to tune in and out sometimes. Yeah, I mean, I'm surprised that he's surprised that I haven't heard of this place Right But at the same time I'm not What are Vinny Donfus and Eric Desjardins doing in Whistler? Making money Making money They're all over the place

It's not just Are you telling me you haven't heard of Scandinov? I got in trouble Frankly I am I actually got in trouble at Scandinov once Why? Because um Cow fell off?

Okay Oops I actually got in trouble at Skandinav once because... Towel fell off? Okay. Oops. Is there a way not to ask? Oh my goodness, my towel fell off. He's on a list. So what I love about Skandinav is that you have to be quiet. Talking is not encouraged because you're there to relax. So no Halford.

No Halford would be like, like the nightmare would be Halford watching an NBA game in Scandinavia. He'd be like, there it is. That's going in. Clank. Eat a bucket of chicken. You boys checking this game out? Yeah.

So you have to be quiet, but there's also a cold plunge. So I don't know if you guys have ever done a cold plunge after hot tub and steam room and sauna. It's a little bit jarring. So I got in trouble because I kind of yelped a little bit when I went in the cold plunge. And then I was like, oh, my toe fell off again. And I was in the cold plunge. Everyone was like, oh. What's the. In the pool. I was in the cold plunge I was like oh I was in the pool So I am going to this place

You should go I'm going to Scandinav Say you no bruff You get a discount That's the guy who kept losing his towel You know towel guy? Okay Let's move on before we get Josh cancelled That's the guy that kept losing his towel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know Towel Guy?

Okay, let's move on before we get Josh canceled. Well, how am I getting canceled? Well, your trip might be. I blame it on you. Ask us anything rich. What is the scariest movie you think you have ever watched that is something in that movie that was so scary that you get full body goosebumps and you feel

the heart rate go up a bit. Okay. When I was living alone 10, 15 years ago in North Van, living in the Upper Lynn Valley, and I watched The Conjuring, which I actually still really like as

just a movie. It's really, really good. And I don't really find it so much scary now. It was probably just the fact that I was not entirely sober. I was by myself in a very dark basement suite late at night. It was really rainy out, and I decided to put on The Conjuring, which I'd never seen before. What kind of not sober were you? I was partaking and having a good evening and enjoying myself.

Like mushrooms or something? No, just having a good night. enjoying myself Like mushrooms or something Or No it's just Having a good night You've seen things In that phase Anyways I watched the movie And it I slept with the light on

For I think three weeks Really It just absolutely Traumatized me What was more scary But I've gone back And watched it since And it's not scared me nearly

I just really like Watching it But that first watch Of The Conjuring Man Really messed me up What's more scary That watch Or when a bee Fl flies into your apartment?

Well, the bee, of course. Unless I'm watching The Conjuring while the bee flies in. Nightmare. This is my nightmare. What was The Conjuring about again? It's just kind of an Amityville horror thing where a family of seven, a husband and wife and I think five kids by this haunted, or they don't know it's haunted,

but by this house in the middle of nowhere and crazy stuff just starts happening. And so it's a haunted house story, more or less. It's a lot like the Amityville Horror,

but also based on a true story, much like the Amityville Horror. Like it actually was like in the papers and the press and stuff like that. And it's a really good movie. Like it came out, I think 2014,

2012 or something. And a lot of people might make fun of me for this. I thought The Ring was scary. Oh, yeah. That's a creepy one. That was creepy. Yeah, for sure. The TV one.

More recently, like, Hereditary. Well, The Ring was scary. I was like, don't take TV from me. Yeah. This is all I have. This is all I got. White noise. Watching Hereditary for the first time really messed me up as well.

That was a really scary one. Mine, I don't really watch scary movies, but when I was a kid for some reason I was like Child's Play was on. Oh yeah, yeah. You were scared of Chucky? Dude, and then. I had the same thing with Freddy Krueger. My sister had a birthday party. They had Nightmare on Elm Street. Little Jason walks

in, sees Freddy Krueger right away and I'm like I won't be sleeping for, well, the rest of my life. And one of my parents' friends had a life-size Chucky doll. It was very realistic. And we went to their house. I was like six or seven. And they were chasing me around the house with the Chucky doll. How old were you?

I was like six or seven, dude. Were you crying? Was it tears? It was a horrible time. It might be one of my earliest memories. Do you remember when Chucky took the scalpel and cut someone's Achilles tendon? I don't.

It's happened to Halford. That's what he said. Yeah, doll attack. That's why he was limping around. Doll attack. That happened to me with Exorcist, Josh. I saw that at far too young an age. I don't really find it all that scary anymore.

Again, it's a great movie, but man, watching it, I think I was 12 when I saw it, and that was a bad. I don't really find it all that scary anymore. Again, it's a great movie, but man, watching it, I think I was 12 when I saw it, and that was a bad experience. And you watch them now, though, and they're way less scary. Yeah, I know. I'm sure if I watched Child's Play, I'd be like, For me, it was Jeepers Creepers was the movie. You'd be like, this is Child's Play.

A lot of horror movies are like that, though, where they're so hokey and bad, but you don't realize that when you're a kid. When you're a kid and you see Freddy Krueger's face. Oh, yeah. And then the whole idea of that is terrifying, don't realize that when you're a kid. When you're a kid and you see Freddy Krueger's face. Oh, yeah. And then the whole idea of that is terrifying, too. It's like, wait a minute. He gets me when I sleep?

Yeah. Even the- What? You got to give it to Wes Craven, though. That's a great concept. Absolutely. For a villain, they kill you in your sleep is just such a good idea for a horror villain. Okay.

A lot of movie talk on the show. Poltergeist. That was another one. I saw Poltergeist way too young. Yeah. That one messed me up a bit. Spike and South Van, Ask Us Anything.

That was a good movie with Coach. Poltergeist, oh, it was great. It was a Steven Spielberg movie that was not a Steven Spielberg movie. He didn't say he directed it

even though he did. Spike and South Van, Ask Us Anything. If you were making a gangster crossover movie a la Avengers-style meetup, which characters would you want to see together? Vito Corleone, Tommy DeVito, and Henry Hill

could band together to take down the Medellin cartel. Some suspension of disbelief is required. So I would want the hotheads together. Like who are the best gangster hotheads? So that, I think that would start with Sonny Corleone. And you would also have, uh, Tony Montana, uh, although Scarface was overrated. Um, when, uh, when Tony got into the white stuff, he got a little aggressive. And then maybe the greatest hothead gangster of them all,

Nicky Santoro from Casino, played by Joe Pesci. And if you had them all on, and it's a road trip movie. It's a comedy. Oh, there's just something fun out there. Yeah. It's a road trip movie. It's a comedy. Oh. There's just something fun out there. Yeah. It's a road trip movie. Sort of like Midnight Run kind of deal? Yeah.

Or they're going to Wally World or something like that. There you go. And things happen along the way. That would be my crossover. National Gangsters Family Vacation? Yeah. Are you a big gangster movie guy? I'm not a big gangster movie guy.

I was trying to stay out of it. Is this a generational thing? I think so. They don't really make much anymore, I assume. Yeah. At least they don't cross my radar. I've watched,

like, the one notable one I've watched. What was the last good gangster movie? The Departed? That's a great one. Honestly, my favorite gangster anything is, like,

is The Sopranos. I think it's better than any of the film, gangster films. Like, Sopranos to me is, like, the peak. It's funny, man.

I never got into it. Really? It's my biggest disagreement with Halford and I tried to try oh I tried hard man it's like one of the greatest shows ever made I just I never felt anything for him you're not really supposed to he's a bad yeah I think for

any of them I mean you're supposed to feel end up rooting for them at the end of the day that's what's fascinating about it yeah I never rooted for him I never rooted for him right like I was rooting for the I was rooting for them at the end of the day. That's what's so fascinating about it. Yeah. I never rooted for them. I never rooted for them. Right? Like I was rooting for Michael Corleone. You know?

Even though he's, I don't know if you know this, he did some bad stuff. Yeah, he was a great guy. Yeah. Well, I mean, hey, it's not for everyone, I guess. No, but it is. But what I don't get is like. Mostly everyone except Ruff. It is for everyone. I mean, it's very popular.

There's not many people that have been like, you know, I couldn't get is like... Mostly everyone except Ruff. It is for everyone. I mean, it's very popular. There's not many people that have been like, you know, I couldn't get into it. Yeah. But I could get... And I'm not a guy that doesn't like get into shows. I got... Like, Halford still watches The Wire. Like, he doesn't watch anything new.

See, that's one... Well, I like it and I've seen it a couple times. I loved The Wire. I don't like The Wire as much as most people. Loved The Wire. I liked The Wire, but I didn't love it. I didn't get into it as much as some people. 650-650, this asks us anything from Ryan in Lanner. like the wire but i didn't love it i didn't get into as much as some people uh 650 650 this ask

us anything from ryan and lanner if you had to choose between only being allowed warm hot food and drink or cold hot food or sorry cold food and drink uh what would you choose for example you could eat hot meals but anything you drink would also have to be hot or if you pick cold all your drinks are cold but your meals are also cold i I'm probably just going cold, I think. I'm not even like my coffee is always cold. I don't like hot coffee. You like cold coffee. I like iced coffee.

That says a lot. Oh, okay. Yeah, we had this weird conversation with Dodd and Josh last week where I think it was Dodd as well. They just want to drink cold coffee all the time. Yeah, I don't want that at all. Even in the wintertime, it's always ice. Really?

Yeah. So you will go in, if you're going in somewhere, do you make ice coffee at home? Yeah, this is ice coffee in my cup right here. I made it at home. I have a Keurig that makes ice coffee too. Do you keep it in the fridge or something? I didn't even know that existed.

You fill it with ice. The thing about ice coffee is that because they know it in the fridge or something? I didn't even know that existed. You like fill it. You fill it with ice. The thing about ice coffee is that because they know it's going over ice, it has to be brewed stronger. Oh, I see. So you get more of a

kick out of ice coffee then? Theoretically, but you also, it's filled with ice. So you kind of have a lot of water in it. I actually don't drink

cold water because it hurts my teeth. Oh, you got little sensitive teeth. I'm a sensitive person. I will say my- What temperature is the water that you drink? Boiling hot.

We have a thing out there that gives you really cold water, but also has a hot water element for people for their tea, I guess, or something or whatever. So I do go 80% cold water and then 20% hot, and then I just gulp my water. I'm not one of these guys that carries around this bucket that you've got on your desk here and is constantly hydrating. Sorry, I don't want to be hydrated. I'm old school.

Hydration is for the weak. One cup of water a day, and that's good. Sure, I'm miserable. It kind of might shorten my life expectancy, but and that's good. Sure, I'm miserable. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind of might shorten my life expectancy, but who cares? Does anyone remember? I'm tough. Anyone listening remember like hockey practices where there would be the coach would be like,

you guys don't deserve water today. Like you're not getting water today. Now I think you'd be put in jail if you did that. But I remember that. I remember that. It's like, you know, like you guys have been playing terrible and as seven-year-olds, you need to do better and you're not getting water now.

That'll make you better. Junior coaches saying after the game, no meal on the bus or something. That used to be a common punishment for coaches. Can't do that anymore. Well, that's just dumb. Well, yeah, it is. Wasting away your coach. That was a good idea.

It's extremely dumb, but I'm just saying it happened. But we didn't drink. When we went to elementary school, water was a punishment. I'm shocked by how much water kids drink. Water, we had juice, we had milk, and we had a soft drink. If we were lucky, that's it. That's kind of, even when I was a kid, that's kind of what it was like.

Like it was, if you went to the water fountain, it was because you were just like dying. Yeah, it was after. You're trying to kill time. It was after you put up 300 yards in lunch football. You had to come in and crush the water. All right, we're going to pull ourselves together a little bit here. Moj's

Dog and Pomo, what was the best comedy show ever on TV? The Simpsons. Like, The Simpsons. You're all going to say The Simpsons. Sorry, the best comedy show on TV ever? Ever. Well, that or Seinfeld. I mean, it's like 1A. The Simpsons. Sorry, the best comedy show on TV ever? The Simpsons. Ever. Well, that or Seinfeld.

I mean, it's like 1A. The Simpsons for me is like... How about we say Frasier? How about so much more... It's funny you say Frasier because that's my third favorite. But I would say... But does it even come close to The Simpsons? Frasier?

It is... In terms of the influence on your sense of humor. Well, no. What if we go... It's just a really, really funny show. Really well written. Really well acted. or sense of humor? Well, no. What if we go... It's just a really, really funny show, really well-written, really well-acted, but I would say Seinfeld and Simpsons are the peak of TV comedy for me.

Why don't we go 2005 onward? The Office. The Office. It's the best modern-ish comedy show I think I've seen. So I think two more underrated... I don't know. 2005 onwards, I think I stopped watching comedy. Comedy is so

subjective though someone's favorite is going to be someone's most hated like yeah it's very wild

two underrated ones for me that have come out recently Brooklyn Nine-Nine yeah that's a Brooklyn Nine-Nine it is very funny

and New Girl I was very pleasantly surprised I've heard good things it is very good I've heard actually good things Halford loves that show

it's very very good yeah what's it about well things. Halford loves that show. It's very, very good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's it about? Lena approves. Well, there's a girl and she's new.

She's new? Yeah, she's new. Her name's Jess. Yeah. Yeah, her name's Jess. It's actually, I... It pulled a lot better than Old Girl.

That was the original title. They're like, this is working. The focus groups were like, we like this one. It sounds like a horse. Easy, girl.

Easy. Old Girl. You don't have much longer, longer do you isn't that a song what is new girl about pull yourself together it's like uh how would i explain it the the the main character zoe de chanel moves into a apartment okay there's four guys that live there. She's the new girl. Okay. Hijinks ensues. Okay. And so on. And they just like,

they're, it's like friends for a new generation or something? It's like same vibe, I guess. Okay. Yeah. It's in the same vein

of like, it's a sitcom. Now there's an overage. Like friends, but funnier. Starting out their adulting like you are, Josh?

That's, hey, you know what? That's exactly it. Rest of Development came in as a text message. I think that's up there for sure. That's a really good one, yeah. Can I throw out Scrubs? I don you know what? That's exactly it. Arrested Development came in as a text message. I think that's up there for sure. That's a really good one, yeah.

Can I throw out Scrubs? I don't know if there's any Scrubs fans out there. I never watched Scrubs. I never watched Scrubs. Parks and Rec is very funny. That's good. Parks and Rec is a good one. Someone texted in Ted Lasso.

I like Ted Lasso. I need to watch more comedy. I find myself going down, like I watch the same stuff over and over. Have you seen The Office? Have you watched? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I watch a lot of like dark cop shows or whatever. Ambulance. And I watch a lot of like history. Like I'm such a cliche. I'm just like if anything on World War II is on, I'm watching it. Wow. Yeah. Look at those tanks, son.

Community. That one comes in. That one's good too. Community's good, yeah. How I Met. Look at those tanks, son. Community, that one comes in. That one's good too. Community's good, yeah. How I Met Your Mother from Mike and His Car. Trailer Park Boys. I've never seen that one. Corner Gas. Oh, yeah.

Trailer Park Boys. If you want Canada, Corner Gas and Trailer Park Boys. Trailer Park Boys is very... Trailer Park Boys is one of those ones that I kind of rolled my eyes at it for a long time and wrote it off as being something that just wasn't my style of humor, not realizing how witty it actually was. I just assumed it was about a bunch of guys in a trailer park and they were just being

dumb all the time. Then I finally sat down and watched. Oh, this show is totally not what I thought it was. It's very, very funny. Is it Julian that, no matter what happens, his drink always stays in his hand? Yeah, one of the best running gags. Gets into a car accident and still has the drink in his hand. The car is literally upside down and somehow Julian's drink is right side up. Is it always

a rum and Coke? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Uh, Chris and cam loops ask us anything while the moj hit was awesome. I am a terrible flyer. And the fact that he was talking on his phone gave me major anxiety. I know it's ridiculous. Chris says,

how are you guys as flyers? And do you stress at all about it? Or is it just as easy as jumping in a car? I went maybe eight years without getting on a plane. Really? Like you were, you were afraid? Did not like it.

Did not like it. And. What ages were you in? How did you get places? In my twenties. Okay. I didn't, I, I don't know if it was eight years, but it was a long time.

And then I made, uh, I think one trip down to Mexico. I was like, I gotta go. Cause I got invited down to a, I think it was someone's 30th birthday. Actually, that probably shows, um, how long ago, cause it was a friend of mine and I had to go. And, uh, I just went and then, but I hadn't gone on. And as a kid, I flew all the time. And then I had to go to the Olympics in Russia and it was my first over water flight,

which some reason, well, I think it's pretty obvious reason, like freaks me out. I was like, where are we putting this thing down? If we need to, right?

There's no backup. Watery surface to land. And that was on like the flight with all the NBC big wigs too. And I was like, I can't freak out in front of Bob Costas, right? Like,

you know, like I just, I can't. So I don't know. You. Right? Like, you know, like I just, I can't. So I don't know. You just, you gotta, you gotta do it. Right? Like you gotta face your fears. I've never.

But I'm not, I'm still not comfortable on flights. I still have a moment. I took, I took a seaplane back from the Gulf Islands the other day and I still get up in the air. And for like 30 seconds, you have that feeling. You're like, we're too high. We shouldn't be up here. But then you just have to kind of like, here's some advice. Try, and this is kind of like mindfulness,

just try and observe how you're feeling. And even though it's hard because you're like trying not to freak out, just observe that you're like, not to freak out just observe that you're like i am panicking right now it kind of helps things it helps things like not get out of control because then you'd like snowball for some people well you know try it and report back to us if it's snowballs yeah still freaked out my my my fear wasn't so much of like the fear of the danger of flying it was i was honestly like a fear of like what if i freak out right and then that'd be embarrassing that'd be embarrassing there's no way out there's no way out yeah it's like and you're kind of like

the fear of losing control it's almost like claustrophobia it's totally a claustrophobia it's more claustrophobic than heights yeah i. I get the... Especially on the long flights, I'm like, we're on here for what, 12 hours? Like, what happens if I just want to get off? They're not going to let me, are they? No. Right? It's like being in prison, right? Yeah.

Well, not really. You pay to be there. Yeah. You pay to be on there. You're probably going somewhere you want to go for the most part. Right. Prison is not that, usually. There's so many long flights just flying within canada though i've become used to it as an eastern guy like five hour flights or nothing which is kind of weird to hear this is an appropriate

ask us anything uh it says in brackets likely for josh who is the host that is the most difficult to keep on the rails uh halford pretty very quick i was thinking about this in the break he's easily distracted isn't he and the other part is like he drives the bus so it's like if he's off track i'd be like he's off track yeah um but with you like you're good uh i was thinking like drance i am good drance i posted with drance and he he's actually you would think he can get off the rails but he's really good at just like bringing it back. What about Brooke? Drance often shows like a complete disinterest

in what you're saying though. Yeah. Like he'll say his thing, he'll say this thing, and then you'll be like, okay, it's my turn to speak. And he'll like put his feet up on the desk or something like that. He's always on his phone. He's like making calls. Yeah, he's like texting people.

I'm like, hey, Drance. Hey, I'm over here, buddy. Your co-host. You look at the videos of like Jamie and Drance whenever- Oh, it's so funny. And I'm like, dude, at least like pretend a little bit. But yeah, I guess- You know, Drance's brain was just like, silence.

The other guy has stopped speaking. Now it's my turn to say some stuff. And then he tunes in for the last two sentences and he's like, okay, I can work off that. How do the humans do this? And then there's a big pause. He goes, Jamie. And then he continues.

Here's another Ask Us Anything, unsigned. Are you guys ready for fall, or do you want another blast of summer? Hell no. Would it be better if it was highs of 30 next week or highs of 10? 30. I'll take one more blast. I'll take one more blast. I think we're going to get one. I think we're going to get one.

We're going to have a couple days of dicey weather. I think there might be a lot of rain tonight, actually. Yeah, this week's kind of crummy, but next week's going to be good. And then it's going to get to like 24 or something for a good week. Yeah, I need another. I don't want to say a blast, but I need another good stretch of weather.

It's fine in August. I need a good stretch of weather into September and October, frankly. I'm getting married on September 7th. So as long as it's sunny that day, I'm chilling. Snowstorm the next day. Yeah, that's fine. Are you a groomzilla? No. How have you been

with your how has it been a hassle uh no like she like my my fiance is very like she loves planning this what do you feel i'm gonna cut you off what do you feel about the the word the term fiance i'm very excited for me not because people don't know this but but i've got one of those right and um thank you and uh i refuse to use that word yeah i can tell because you haven't said it to me and i just say it all awful it's like my fiancee yeah so do i say it like that no but i just don't like it like this is my fiancee like i think there was like a comedy bit about that at some point yeah yeah it was a sign my fiance yeah right like I feel the exact same way about it I can't say gross word but but alternatively as

Kramer says saying my wife has it's to start a sentence it's a great sentence starter like my wife has an inner ear infection yeah you know any sentence that starts with my wife has yeah great so I'm two weeks away from that being a reality, and I am very ready to ditch the fiance word. Are you nervous at all? I don't like saying partner because it's like, like Halford's my partner. What do you say?

He's my... It's a very generic term. It's a catch-all. Oh, but I'm like too old for that. Yeah, like ball and Jane. Guys over there. Or something like, yeah. Ah, you know, the ball and Jane is amazing, by the way.

With partner, I just think like, howdy, partner. That's all I can say. Yeah, yeah. Business partner. I don't like that. Yeah. But then once you get older, you're like, this is my girlfriend. Guys over 35 cannot have a girlfriend.

Yeah. It's just, I don't know. There's got to be some in between there. Partner is just so, it lacks emotion. It lacks any sense of like. My business partner over here. Yeah, we're partners. In a venture of some sort?

What's going on here? So in places in public when you've introduced Talfred as your partner, have you gotten interesting scenarios out of that? I've never introduced him as my partner in public. Oh, you never have? I was going to say. I say, this is my, this is Halford. This is the old ball and chain. Yeah, this is the old ball and chain.

Hello. Yeah, we aren't seen in public much. If I'm, you asked if I'm getting nervous. Yeah, like this last week has been, for the months and weeks leading up to it, I was like, oh, like I don't feel nervous at all. And now it's like, oh man, we got to do a lot of stuff. Right, so what would the nerves be about

like all the stuff you got to do? It's about the wedding itself and not the. It's not the fact that you're going to be married to one person for the rest of your life forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever. Right? Yeah. Yeah, of course not.

And a lot of them go wrong. Last time I brought this up, on the text line, somebody was like, you know, after... Because I was like, oh, we've been together for nine years. He's like,

most fail after nine years. I'm like, thanks, dude. That's awesome. Thanks for texting that in. I really appreciate it. That was wonderful. Yeah, he's texting. He's like,

sometimes you just look at the other person and you're like, I don't feel anything anymore. I hope that doesn't happen to you. You at least nine years. I'm sure it won't. You seem like a good guy. Yeah. What we learned, you know what grinds my gears?

When you get a hot coffee and you can't drink it for the first hour because it is too damn hot. That's me. I agree with that. I actually got a coffee from, my God, I think it was A&W in Princeton for the drive home. I couldn't drink it for half an hour. Yeah. It was too hot. That's the other reason I only have iced coffee because I'm impatient.

I will force myself to drink it and I will just burn my mouth. And so instead, I just go with an iced coffee, a much more overall enjoyable experience. Even if you're outside in the freezing cold, that's just what blows my mind. It's, well, like, realistically, like Jamie said last week, I'm going somewhere where I'm going to be enjoying it in the warmth or I'm in the car.

This is totally against Adog's cozy life philosophy. I don't know. I mean, hey, I love iced coffee in the summer. I mean, that's my drink of choice when it's hot out, for sure. But once it gets colder, I mean, iced pumpkin spice latte? I don't think so. You're getting excited for fall, aren't you, Adog? Oh, dude.

As soon as September 1st hits, I cannot wait. Do you know how some people have spring cleaning or a fall cleanup? Do you like cozify your apartment? Oh, yeah. Right. Do you bring in all sorts of blankets? Yep. There are layers. Actually, I do the same. It looks like a sultan. Do you like cozify your apartment? Oh, yeah. Right. Do you bring in all sorts of blankets? Yep. There are layers.

Actually, I do the same. It looks like a sultan. I got like fall. I'm seven feet tall at all times. Describe your perfect cozy night. Like what time of the year is it? What are we doing here? Oh, sitting down in front of the TV

with a nice hot Coke. Hot Coco. With a blanket over top of me. Watching maybe an episode of The Simpsons with my significant other. Or maybe watching some Canucks. With your partner? Although that's usually stressful. So maybe not watching the Canucks.

Is there a candle lit? There will be some candles. I do like candles. Ghostbusters is on or something. You want to get comfortable. Oh, there you go. Do you want me to come over one time and do the wind noise for you? Yes.

Or at the very least record it. That's a good wind noise. Isn't it? That is a great wind noise. Very good. Didn't know you had that in your bag. Holy. Gah, gah.

What the hell are we doing on this show anyway? It's Friday. Can you tell him I'm on vacation next week? Ask us anything. Would you rather have a guaranteed heart-winning season from Pedersen or a guaranteed Vezna-winning season from Demko both carry into the playoffs? Heart-winning season for Pedersen.

Like, without a doubt. It's because you know you're going gonna get a certain level from Demko anyway yeah well what if the goalie sink him yeah I mean I knew laddie was gonna well I just think of the Taylor Hall heart trophy like what did that accomplish for New Jersey nothing so yeah heart trophy on your team doesn't

necessarily mean success yeah but that's because they weren't a complete team right like if you have Petey at heart level and it carries into, let's say Petey was playing at a heart level, heart winning level. God, I'm confused. In these playoffs, they could have won the cup. They could have won the cup, man.

And I think, you know, that's in hindsight what was frustrating like this this past canucks season was awesome let's all be honest about it like it was incredible uh most of us in the media were dead wrong about it including myself i did not think uh that they were gonna nobody amass the point totals. And it was great. I thought they played a respectable brand of hockey. They played a tough brand of hockey. And at the end of the day, lost in game seven to the team that nearly won the Stanley Cup and has the best player in the world.

There is no shame in losing to the Edmonton Oilers, especially what they had to deal with during the playoffs. But the BD thing was problematic at the end. And we don't have to fall back into the whole PD conversation. No, we don't. If he's playing at a heart level. I'll make my win sound again. That's what I would take that for sure, 100%.

650, 650. This one, Patrick and poor Moody. I'm getting married. A lot of wedding questions. I'm getting married. A lot of wedding questions. Uh, I'm getting married. My ex girlfriend wants to come. What's the best way to dissuade her?

You say no, Patrick. I think that'll be awkward. No. Yeah. I'm getting married. And then you hire security and you give a picture to the security guard and go, if she shows up,

she's not coming in. Yeah. Why would you, why would she want to, like. Maybe they're good friends still. I know. Yeah, but that's still like a. But that's taking it too far. Yeah.

Right? Definitely. Yeah. Some people are just more mature than others and they can handle a relationship after the relationship. Yeah, but like. No, I don't think it has anything to do with maturity. It's a situation too, right?

Like if, like you were getting married. He obviously doesn't want her there. If he's asking what is the best way to dissuade her, I think you gotta be honest. It depends on her relationship with the fiance. Or send her an invite and it sends her somewhere else.

The old wild goose chase. Send her to Josh's wedding. Hey! Alright, what else we got here? 650, 650. Would you rather have the Leafs... Sorry, Josh, I gotta interrupt you. You did this once the other day as well on this show. Oh, we did do it.

Would you drather is what you have to say. If you say the word rather instead of drather, people just get upset. I have two minutes left. It's because Halford doesn't know how to speak. Is that? Okay. So how did this start?

Was it a drance related thing? I was on the old station. It was would you drather Wednesdays. No, but it all started because Halford was like, I'd drather this. Oh, yes. That's how he talks, right? He just didn't pronounce it properly. He's still like, I put ketchup on my fries.

You can't read good. Ketchup. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Halford is kind of like, he had a Burnaby education. Right. I mean, I can't talk. I'm from Chilliwack. Yeah.

Sorry. Would you rather have the, I lost it. Would you rather have the Leafs or the oilers in the stanley cup fine the oilers from coquitlam the oilers like we just went through it it wasn't i mean it was a little terrifying when it looked like they might come back and win the cup but the leafs winning would be so the leafs in the cup yes would be awful yeah be so annoying it would be i mean we there might be a great payoff in it and that they might lose in really painful fashion but the journey can you imagine oh my god can you imagine all the

articles that would be written let's say it happens this year yeah and you got the new craig berube bump austin matthew C. These guys finally decided. They decided themselves that what was happening was no longer. You knew you'd get that. There was a turning point when the leadership group came together and said, no more. I'd even be cheering against Tanev. That's how bad it would be, right? Yeah.

And the myth- making That would go around Kristanov too I was like we had him You can't You can't steal him That guy He's ours Yeah

OEL was a major piece Yeah Of the Stanley Cup winning team Yeah I don't think it'll happen No So I don't think We really need to worry about it
