This week on the show that has singlehandedly killed the UFC, CHICA bassist and Justin’s Top Marks co-host JOSH CUSTODIO stops by the show to make sense of the latest Jon Jones drug test mess and break down an eventful UFC 232 card that helped the company put a positive exclamation point on what had otherwise been a rocky 2018. PLUS: The search for UFC’s great babyface! Amanda Nunes and the future of women’s MMA! How Conor vs Khabib has become The Prestige! And we’re all enjoying dunking on Darren Rovell, but is there some level of truth to his perspective? Plus the boys dish on their favourite movies of the year.

This week on the show, it's the holiday season which means only one thing to the discerning hockey fan: it's time for the World Juniors! To break it all down, RGS World Juniors expert RYAN LAMBERT makes his fourth annual appearance on the program to talk up the tournament, the Flyers' firing Dave Hakstol, the rise of Carter Hart, and the way NHL teams waste the prime years of their young goalies. PLUS: We name our favourite movies of the year, and Justin goes on an unhinged rant against George Parros and the NHL's Department of Player Safety.

Dec 16, 2018

This week on the show, RGS isn’t the only three letter acronym coming back from the dead! We’re talking Vince McMahon’s XFL revival, as Deadspin’s DAVID ROTH joins the show for a discussion on the parallel lives of Donald Trump and Vince McMahon, the driving forces within their deranged rich guy brains, and whether a league brought back to capitalize on a political moment can succeed three years after that moment has passed. PLUS: The Brewers’ improbable playoff run, the Mariners’ ongoing locker room demolition, Crab Rangoon, and things of that nature.

This week, it’s the return. The show is back with brand new material, as CanucksArmy’s JACKSON McDONALD joins Justin to talk the Canucks’ deployment of Nikolay Goldobin, the on-going war over the Russian winger between rabid factions on either side, the maturation of Jake Virtanen, and more. But beyond Canucks talk, they also get into OHL’s hazing controversy, and what it reveals about labour needs and unionization in the CHL — and an article of Jackson’s that was read on the floor of Ontario’s provincial parliament.

This week on the show that's back from the dead, Justin lays out his vision of the future of the show and hopes that you'll stick around to see it through with him. The show comes back in earnest next week, but in the meantime, there's already an example of what an RGS episode with Justin flying solo with guest sounds like. Chances are, you just haven't heard it.

Unlocked from behind the Patreon paywall for your listening pleasure is "1on1 with Nick Dika", as the Arkells bassist joined me in conversation over Juno Weekend back in March. Consider it a taste of what you can expect going forward. I hope you'll stick around.

Arkells' new record Rally Cry is available wherever you get your music. Check it out. It's great.

It's the last one. We reminisce about our fondest memories of doing the show. And then it's over.

Oct 4, 2018

This week on the show that needs something to blame after last year, John is away watching the Leafs home opener, so Stefan and Justin fly solo and go heavy on Canucks content right before the 2018/19 NHL season kicks off. And why not when they’ve given us so much to talk about: on banning Fortnite, Bo Horvat’s political machinations, the case for playing skill guys, and Stefan’s #IgnoreTheLottery campaign. PLUS: The Gritty backlash has arrived! Kawhi Leonard’s weird laugh! Predicting the NHL season! And what it would take for us to finally stop cheering for the Canucks.

This week on the show that f***ing was terrible today, the Real Good Boys are back giving the people more of what they want: in-depth food discussions. It’s snacking season, baby! No better way to enjoy the NFL season than with some quality chips and dip. But which chips are best? And John comes out swinging against dip in general. PLUS: Stefan buys the world’s worst bag of chips. And Justin waxes nostalgic about the authentic Mexican cuisine of Blaine, Washington. (Editor’s Note: This episode was recorded during the tail-end of an era that future historians will call Before Gritty.)

This week on the show that needs to negotiate here because we're workin' too, it's a sports-heavy show as there are so many things to dive into this week: Vontae Davis retires from the NFL in the middle of a game, the Vancouver Canucks consider banning video games on the road, and Pierre Dorion stares into the abyss that is the future of the Ottawa Senators. PLUS: Speaking of video games, we go deep on games we expect to see on the PlayStation Classic and N64 Classic.

It's the series finale (hopefully) of the Summer of Sheldon, as the Real Good Boys are joined by contest-winner and long-time listener Jacob Logan!! This surely has to be the most vacuous and empty episode yet. ...of Young Sheldon, that is! Because Real Good Sheldon keeps the laughs coming, I assure you. It's the moment we've all been waiting for: the Elon Musk cameo. A cameo that surely the producers knew would stand the test of time, and within a year would not have viewers saying "oh it's that insane man who keeps calling a rescuing hero 'pedo guy'". And you know Jacob is ready to talk about it all, because not only did he take notes, he watched the episode TWICE!

Thank you all so much for your support this summer. As painful as it has been to watch Young Sheldon for the last month, making these episodes has been a ton of fun and it makes it all worthwhile to know you've been enjoying them. We appreciate you.

This week on the show that thinks pressure is millions of parents with no money to buy food for their children, we’re beefin’ ‘bout that beef, baby! Justin returns from Chicago to defend his food choices and go all in on the merits of Italian Beef, raising his fist in solidarity with his Italian Beef brothers held down by a sandwich society that fears what it doesn’t understand. Stefan continues to collect royalties on the sale of Hydro Flasks. PLUS: Earbuds vs Airpods! Super Smash Bros! And we pitch our own Food Network original series.

This week on the show that's heard the Canadian Minister of Defence believes in aliens, Justin Morissette misses his first episode of all-time, so Stefan and John run amok like kids in a candy shop, with the help of their favorite ne'er do-well, CHRIS JAMES. PLUS: Stefan Auto-Tunes the pod! Justin's Chicago meal choices! And the boys finally answer the question that's been plaguing the pod for years: who's got the best hog in Vancouver sports history?

This week on the show that never pulled a hammy running across Normandy, Justin's streak of appearing on every episode of the show is set to end next week and the boys grill him on his vacation plans like one of them Chicago-style hotdogs. PLUS: Stefan has an impossible time guessing the towns that have WHL teams! We learn empathy for each other via Freaky Friday-esque body-swap scenarios! And which limbs we'd be willing to amputate for gold.

The Summer of Sheldon is nearly over, but the fun continues for at least one more episode! We're joined by the hilarious and charming comedian Ivan Decker to discuss the most hopelessly disjointed Young Sheldon to date. Nothing carries over in this show. Literally nothing matters. It's not even self-contained, it's just... there. Ray Liotta appears with an utterly baffling cameo, and we continue to find more interesting storylines in throwaway lines than the plot they actually used for this episode.

Future guests on Real Good Sheldon include... YOU??? The guest for our sixth episode will be drawn from the list of Patreon donors on August 29th, so you could win your way on to an episode just by supporting the show. Thank you, and good luck.

The Summer of Sheldon continues with another RGS/YKS cross-over event! That's right, those good ol' boys from Your Kickstarter Sucks, Jesse Farrar and Michael Hale, are here to watch easily the worst episode of the Young Sheldon we've subjected ourselves to to date. Just a punishingly terrible episode of television. But that's okay, because an episode of Young Farrars breaks out instead, as Jesse's children crash the podcast.

This week on the show that is just, uhhhh, ok, the Real Good Boys are still stuck for what to talk about, so they take a deep-dive on the topics you're dying to know about, like the world of McDonaldland and how much money they'd accept to make their internet search histories public. PLUS: Brief Canucks talk! Movies that get adapted into video games! And the boys finally reveal what they would do with all the hats if they scored an NHL hat trick.

Oh baby, it's that Summer of Sheldon time again! This week we're joined by delightful comedian and fan-favourite guest JENNY TOEWS to discuss an episode of Young Sheldon that's... *gasp* actually good? It starts strong anyway, but eventually regresses to the mean. That's fine too, because we actually barely talk about it! Annie Potts joins the cast for this episode, so it's largely spent discussing THAT SCENE in Ghostbusters (you know the one) -- a movie with John has somehow never seen. Dan Aykroyd is a sick freak.

Aug 16, 2018

This week on the show whose friends call it Big Al, the boys are stuck in the dog days of summer and get out of it by doing an extended mailbag, answering some extremely existential questions, like what our first novel would be about and what living person would be the most difficult to hunt. PLUS: Ultimate frisbee! Disc golf! Classic jerseys! And Stefan finally names the yacht he's always dreamed of owning.

It's that Summer of Sheldon time again...! Comedian BRIAN GAAR (Rooster Teeth, ATX Uncensored) joins the Boys this time out to give a genuine Texan perspective on the second episode of Young Sheldon -- an episode that has actual jokes in it! But also an episode with little to no plot. It's a give-and-take situation. We do our best to expand upon the nothingness of this episode and discuss the frequency with which Sheldon would get beaten up in reality, inappropriate teacher-student socializing, and what really goes down in the teachers' lounge. PLUS: Brian hears the word "Bazinga" for the very first time, and drops the hammer on whether Sheldon has beaten Battletoads.

This week on the show that still kisses its kids on the mouth, the Real Good Boys realize it's been a long time since they've come up with a new segment, so they spend an awful lot of time doing just that, cooking some up in the Segment Kitchen. PLUS: Justin goes Incognito! Ray Lewis gets inducted into the Hall of Fame! Don Cherry (not that one, the other one)! And Justin finally becomes a man and gets his first-ever SCENE Card.

The Summer of Sheldon is officially here! We kick off our August mini-series of Young Sheldon reviews by taking in the pilot with classic RGS guest Chris James, and seem to go out of our way to not discuss the episode. Because, what is this show, some kinda drama or something? We'd rather discuss Chris's admittedly strange history with the Big Bang Theory, and those giant gumball machines they used to have at Blockbuster.

This week on the show that's just gonna bypass that question because improvement will lead to success, John returns to the show fresh off his successful stint at JFL performing as his beloved Southern Momma character and he's full of fire and rage as two of the most contentious debates in RGS history break out over... (checks notes) Troy Stecher and salad. PLUS: Trevor Linden leaves the Canucks! We debate the ceiling of Elias Pettersson! Jim Harbaugh thinks eating chicken gives you brain diseases! New holiday mascots! And Justin comes out swinging against The Office.

This week on the show that learned to become a Wizard, John is away which means comedian RYAN WILLIAMS returns as special guest co-host! Ryan may be taking his role a little too seriously however, as he's begun dressing in John's clothes, opening his mail, and writing in John's diary about how to manage all his new responsibilities. PLUS: Cottage vs. cabin! We reminisce once more about that awful soda, Orbitz! Josh Hader's racist tweets! Johnny Manziel's big move! Ryan comes out swinging against lettuce wraps!

This is just a snippet of our Summer Blockbuster Series special episode, as we walk through the Guillermo Del Toro sci-fi action classic PACIFIC RIM with our friend Jesse Farrar, who claims it is his favourite film of all time. In this clip, JF is tired of having his buttons pressed by the Content DJ. Support the show to hear the entire discussion, including a deep dive into the Earnest movies, Jesse's old Blockbuster rental habits, and how this kaiju vs jaeger slugfest did (and did not) foretell the rise of Donald Trump.
