The Rubber Boots Podcast

Jimmy makes a new friend, travels to the depths of Costco, and considers making his own sleeping pill.  Meanwhile, Puffy wants James to start a new reality show,  shares a deep secret with the listeners, and takes issue with national monument.  Speaking of taking issue, Lester doesn't seem to care for Stoff's latest homage to him.   The boys cover all the bases, from great whale escapes to debating if there can truly be a "Canada's Team" in the NHL.

PLUS: Things I Saw On Twitter, Listener Mail and…The Return Of Puffy's Hypotheticals!!!

PLUS PLUS: Stay tuned for a bonus What You Watching: This or That Showdown… after the podcast concludes!

Due to certain legal rights issues the guys are forced to find their own name for the Platinum League's "Final Four".  We salute those departing and prepare those who remain for what lies ahead… a Brutally Intense Best of Seven Props Series!!!!  And much like the group stage it all starts with a draw!   James gives an update on the prize (sort of), as Puffy and Lester attempt to chip in, while Stoff goes through the pod's email's spam folder.  (Hint; we have some very wealthy friends)

Jimmy is shopping for a fresh set of wheels, but we also learn that he is a hazardous driver.  Puffy is befuddled as Duthie refuses to apologize to Logan Paul, while Lester basks in the glory of his Habs (Third Round Baby!!!).  We observe Hugo's hat retrieving skills, tip our hats to John Lu the trendsetter, and get an update on the recent turmoil in the PGA.  Beware of the Murderous Sex Robots!

After hitting rock bottom in Week 2, this is where the Talentless Division truly shines… commentating from the sidelines.  After a failed attempt to buy his way back in, Jimmy draws parallels to a certain Winnipeg Jet, as both their second rounds ended rather quickly.  Stoff learns he must now learn how to make a website, Puffy puts all his support behind Ho, and Lester recaps the moves that got him here.   For our 'Platinum People' segment we chat with Group A leader Lkiff, who ends up answering a couple questions he didn't see coming.  Listen closely because this episode is loaded with major developments for the future of the Gold Bar League that you won't find anywhere else.

Puffy is on the pod, and on a boat!  Whoa!  Jimmy celebrates recent events in his life, while recapping less fortunate events for Hugo.  Lester is very pleased with his Habs, while Stoff explains why he gave up hope on this Leafs squad prior to Game 7.  We get an update on the censors, play name that jingle and address the phenomenon of fans storming the field of play at recent games.

Down to the Dirty Dozen… Puffy is eliminated from the Platinum League and suffers the consequences.  Lester celebrates being in first place, and his Habs pulling out a Game 7 win.  Stoff owes his survival to the Minnesota Lynx, while Jimmy comes face to face with his greatest challenge yet.  Gregg Lockhart joins us, mid-interrogation it would appear… but he doesn't just settle for a Platinum People feature.  Oh no, Gregg launches into 'What You Watchin', does a stand up routine, and schools us on the history of the CFL.  This type of disruption can only land you the nickname of Bump2 (Mr. Noodle?)

Jimmy serenades the boys in a foreign language, celebrates the return of his recycling guy, but isn't very fond of Lester's new found fame.  As Malta reaches herd immunity the guys begin planning their trip, but don't plan on bringing any lab grown food with them.  The boys pick sides in the Brooks Koepka vs Bryson DeChambeau beef, and we find out Puffy's Dog is getting fitted for clubs, which drives Stoff insane.  This week the Rubber Boots Business Network tackles NFT's… again.

After the guys argue over the Talent Division Playoff controversy, Talent Division Champion Stoff outlines the Platinum League rules.  We then draw our four Platinum League Groups, and a Group of Death candidate quickly emerges.  We are joined by, the only man in GBL history to win two play in rounds, Eddie Bartlett for our brand new 'Platinum People' segment (or whatever it's called).  Good luck to those who qualified for the league, and much love to those cheering on from the prophylactic sidelines.

Jimmy is having phone issues, but Stoff thinks he may have been catfished. Puffy gets in trouble, Lester talks dating during the pandemic, and Aaron Korolnek returns with an 'A-hole or A-Ok' that has the pod divided. The good times at the Rubber Boots Business News Network continue as we pick up on our cryptocurrency conversation from last week, which naturally leads to us developing our own coin. We look back at the OverDrive 200m showdown, call out fake accents, and update the 'Love In The Chat".

Jimmy is guaranteeing golf, and putting gold bars on in to boot, while Puffy feels uninformed.  It's golf so Lester and Stoff aren't invited anyway.  The guys reveal the winners of the Last Chance Tournament, and reveal the match ups for our Second (and final) Play In Round.  Things get interesting when Puffy and Lester learn what they're playing for this week, which had Puff dubbing it "The Biggest Match In Gold Bar League History.   TSN 1050's Aaron Korolnek joins us for an extended 'Faces of the GBL' segment, as he revels in defeating his morning show co-host Carlo Colaiacovo and securing a spot in the Platinum League.  On top of that he provides actual analysis, so those in this week's Play In Round take heed.  We are also a go on mission #LesterCatfish, internet beware!
