Tall Can Audio - A Pint Of Canadian Sports Talk

Welcome in to the annual NYE retrospective pod. And man oh man - what a shitshow to have to look back on.

Join Matt and Rob as they crack a few pints and look back on the year that was - even beyond the bloody pandemic. What was hot on Twitter? What musicians that the boys have never heard of got huge? What were we watching, reading and listening to and for the firs time ever - Grinder lets us know which country loves to be on top and who digs it on the bottom.

And of course - which breweries really made an impact for the guys this year and how 2020 actually pushed the Tall Can Audio show to a new level.

It's all here. Lets go!

Welcome back to a Tall Can Audio tradition like no other - our yearly Christmas Eve spectacular around the World Junior Hockey Championship.

Up first the boys give their thoughts on the final day of this year's Craft Beer Advent calendar before circling around to the main event.

We get to know this year's edition of Team Canada and then discuss what the fact that very few of these guys have played any games could mean, other big names around the tournament to keep an eye on, goalies who could turn the whole thing on it's head and tons more notes around our favourite event every year.

This is always one of our most popular shows of the year and we're so thrilled that you choose to spend a small part of your holidays with us. Merry Christmas! Now let's talk some WJC!

On today's show we're excited to welcome star WR from the Ottawa REDBLACKS Brad Sinopoli and OSEG's communications director and friend of the show Chris Hofley.

Since the last time we saw Brad on the field there's been a new addition to his family and we ask about how he's adapted to fatherhood and whether he's getting any sleep. Talk turns to the CFL season that never took place and how he managed to adapt and what he was filling time with. We were also fascinated to learn what the story behind Brad returning to Ottawa as a free agent was and what it made it feel so much like home.

Plus tons more talk about his fishing hobby, growing up in Ontario's famous cottage country in the Kawarthas, how the Sinopolis will spend their first Christmas with a little guy in the picture and tons more.

Brad Sinopoli is a hell of an athlete but turned out to be an even better guy. Make sure you check this one out to learn about this all-star, all Canadian champion.

It's time to get in on the ground floor of the start of something special.

On today's show Matt, Michaela and Chris Hofley kick around the annual Lou Marsh Award voting and discuss the merits of a set of co-winners. They also dive deep in to what makes this particular award special, the pitfalls and advantages of a cross-sport trophy like this one, other possible winners and the greatness that is Canadian sport even in 2020.

Before diving in to the meat of the show there's also plenty of discussion on whether or not this year's World Juniors are still a worthwhile endeavour and the obligatory craft beer discussions.
