I knew BOTC was going to be engaging based on the subject matter. What I didn’t see coming was the 48-72 after each episode, diving back into the tracks and shows referenced in each pod, together with the memories and friendships. I’ve even reached out to a couple of folks from my crew I haven’t seen in 25 years. It’s been a real treat and I wanted to say thanks! I’ll be back for E.10 in a couple days. In the meantime: I’ve got 4 Island Tour shows re-familiarize myself with. Much Love.

"U Sports", formerly the CIAU (Go, U Sports!!), is our pathetic version of the NCAA. As far as I know, we don’t offer real financial or scholarship incentives for student-athletes. If anything, they’re more like small honorariums than actual scholarships. Hockey: @grayruby is right on the money here. Our young players chase opportunities in the CHL — that’s the WHL, QMJHL, and OHL — for ages 16–20.It might not be as much of a sure thing as it once was with the growth of USA Hockey, but when I was growing up, most NHL late-round picks or undrafted older kids from the CHL could reasonably expect to keep their hockey dream alive with a big scholarship or a free ride to a very good U.S. school. I honestly can’t think of a single player from U Sports/CIAU hockey who went on to the NHL. GPT-5 found a few — but with the exception of Joel Ward, “notable” should probably be in quotes: Derek Ryan, Logan Thompson, and Joel Ward – recent standout examples making the jump from U Sports to the NHL. Dr. Randy Gregg – University of Alberta Golden Bears alum (and actual doctor) with a solid NHL/AHL career. Bernie Wolfe – goalie from Sir George Williams University, 119 NHL games, MVP at the university championship. Andre Hidi – University of Toronto, 7 NHL games with Washington after earning U Sports national accolades. Kent Ruhnke – University of Toronto, brief NHL and WHA career, university championship MVP. Football: I’ve never played a down of competitive football, but I know it’s… complicated up here. High school and community teams generally play some variation of Canadian Amateur Football rules. Some use 3 downs. Quebec uses 4 downs, but still with the 1-yard line of scrimmage. Younger kids often use 4 downs to keep things moving. Community teams in Toronto and Vancouver sometimes use a hybrid of U.S. and Canadian rules. I have no idea how it all works, but it clearly hasn’t been a great recipe for producing elite players. We didn’t have football at my high school, but the on…

Two absolute legends! 🫡

Let’s go!

Thanks, Gents.

Excellent rip gentlemen!

Let’s go!

“would you still be willing to do lightning payments and stay late on Friday until the lightning actually works?” I’m dead 😂

Canadian here. Can confirm: Alberta is not cool.

“Julius can go fuck itself” are words I never thought I’d hear uttered. 😂

That was a wild tread deadline.

Really enjoying the pod. Trying to binge in chronological order. This episode was great.

Just found the pod. A match made in heaven.

A couple great rips this week. Thanks, Matt 🫡

We need more Bitcoiner families present in the space.

You guys continue to crush it!

Everyone needs a friend like @npub1phvflpwfk…

Let me know when you guys decide what book we’re reading first

Deep cut indeed!

Sometimes the right pod comes along at the right time!

Love this!

The boys are back in town!

Can’t get enough of these rips!

A great reminder to update my “Dear ______” file.

I appreciate the honest conversation. A couple real ones!

Another amazing inspiration. Keep building. Many thanks.
