HOCKEENIGHT meets PENSION PLAN PUPPETS

PrintCT and Forklift from the great Chicago Blackhawks blog HOCKEENIGHT invited me on to their podcast last night mostly because I assume Down Goes Brown wasn't allowed to use the phone. Note: That's not the last dig I get in on DGB.
You might be familiar with HockeeNight because of the two great podcasts with Down Goes Brown. Handy tip before appearing on a podcast: don't listen to two really good ones beforehand. I don't know that it's as clean as the two that DGB did but it was fun as hell. It's a riotous romp through the minds of three hockey diehards with ADD which means that it flies off into some crazy tangents. Here's an idea of what we covered:
We discuss Michael Jackson, Profiles on Match.com for gay guys who like tigers, Michael Jackson some more, a website for people who want to screw around on their spouses, and the Greatest Moustache-for-Moustache Trade Of All Time.
Oh, and the draft, free agency, trades, and shit like that too.
Listen to the first two DGB ones to get that Moustache joke. It's well worth it. We also talked about the Hawks plans to ice 5 centremen at a time, Down Goes Brown's short leash, putting a team in Las Vegas, how amazing it will be to see Emery playing for the Flyers, great Detroit chanst, and Jamie Devane's background among a veritable cornucopia of ridiculousness.
It runs over 70 minutes which surprised me but once we got going it really took off. We even managed to make it organically begin and end on MJ which obviously means that we planned it.

Thanks again...
We’ll send out a permission slip so DGB can appear alongside PPP in the future.
Bring your own moustache.

that would be great pending DGB getting permission from his wife.

I have nothing better to listen to at work. It’s PPP or Doug MacLean and I like listening to the former much more than the latter

The Coles Notes is in the post. Just imagine a few Jacko jokes, ruminations about how two gay lion tamers actually found each other (proves that soulmates exist), laughing at the Chicago media, jokes about mouthbreating Philly fans, wondering why Red Wings fans are so angry, and talking about DGB’s adorable daughter.

The funniest thing about that podcast
Is that PPP’s voice kind of, kind of sounds like Michael Jackson’s. :)

"the funniest thing"
Ouch, that hurts…

Hey, Forklift, I used to live in the Windy City, and almost married a girl from there. Had to get my digs in at all three of you.
If you ever want to podcast with someone who knows about 1/4th as much as Julian when it comes to hockey and has lived in Chicago, Toronto and Vancouver and studied in Grand Rapids, I’m you’re man. :)
I moved to Chicago the first time the day Jordan won his first NBA championship, and was there the second time when Farley died- I’d been listening to “Mancow’s drunken weekend with Chris Farley” on and off that weekend.
BTW, the price for my podcasting services is 4 large Aurelio’s sausage and mushroom calabrese pizzas delivered to my front door. And a half dozen Italian beefs from Portillo’s.

If I got a half dozen beefs
Why the hell would I send them to anyone?
Rather than freeze my nads off for several hundred bucks, we had a Winter Classic Party at Chez Fork (In beautiful Evanston), and I let Dick Portillo do the cooking.
Af for ‘cast guests, we’re pretty easy – we even opened up the phones for one, and our Salary Cap Expert dialed in to sit and listen. Easily his finest contribution.

Ignore him. He’s from Peterborough. It’s like Canada’s Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is putting it too mildly.

What, Peterborough is a wonderful example of an up-and-coming example of a thriving urban center with a ton of progressive intellect in the midst of a rural area jammed with rednecks?
On the other hand, regarding hockey, Peterborough is home to the longest-running OHL franchise and has sent more players to the NHL than any other team in the world. Philly, well, what can you say? If you’re Dutch, at least they have our royal colour in their jerseys.

your double use of “example” in your first sentence gives the point to PPP me thinks…

Well, I had to do something to let him think he still has some chops. “Dur. He’s from Peterborough” :)

Between the outrageous slurs directed at Leaf hero Todd Gill and the slanders on the greatest city in Canada, there may be some truth to the rumour that Kim and Godd’s next venture is “Triple P Bloc.com”. He’s got the press pass and everything….
Todd Gill is going to kill PPP in his sleep one day, and Wendel will approve.
Shouldn’t it be Bloc3P.com instead?

Can go to hell and take Jamie Macoun with him.

Hey, at least it’s no Oshawa.

Something we can all agree on. That’s why it was good we didn’t get Tavares. He is TAINTED, like Lindros and Rob Pearson before him.

Rec’d.
We’ll be thinking of you tonight while watching the Burning Hells at the Montreal House, Godd. :)
True story- my brother’s rich English gay neighbour wants to buy the MoHo and change the name to the House of Montreal so it’s nickname will be the “HoMo”.

It’s all part of the plan, Godd. Surely Trent has an option for your grad studies……

As Mr. Burns says, “Exxxxcelllent”. We can catch the Petes and watch future Leaf’s pugilist Barron Smith skate poorly and punch the blood out of someone.

Well
To be fair, I am only a few months older than the kids he enjoyed.

Withholding crude jokes combining PPP and MJ.

There was no such restraint about Patrick Kane and MJ.

Best thing is...
…even though I can’t say for sure he listens in, I know Kane reads us…CT and I each have an autographed print of one of our articles about him

The big question is, are Evander and Patrick long-lost brothers and will there be a tear-jerker of an article on their reunion at HockeeNight sometime soon? It would have to kind of be like William H. Macy’s kids in Mystery Men, of course. :)

Listening to it now. I’m 15 minutes in, when does this lady hang up so PPP can come on?

Don't know why we didn't trade for Kessel
Unlike DGB, he has at least one testicle…
Was that too harsh?
Nah, I’m sure he’ll get me back.

Hey! I explained why I did it!
And don’t tell me that you didn’t die laughing when I made the Greatest Moustache for Moustache trade crack.

That was my homage to your double bill. I listened to both right before and couldn’t believe that I got a chance to use it. Obviously I didn’t realize that Hockee Night is focused on:
- Blackhawks
- Moustaches
and not necessarily in that order.
