The Rubber Boots Podcast

We are joined by our friend Frank Crupi (aka Hockey Illuminati) who talks about how he built his online following, gives us a Leaf fan's reaction to Lester's Tim Horton's commercial, and shares a great Steven Stamkos story from the summer after his rookie year.  Frank gives us some food for thought on how to improve the NHL, and explains why he would root for Italy over Canada in soccer, but not hockey. 

For more awesome hockey content make sure you follow Frank Crupi @HockeyIlluminati on Instagram!

Jimmy rubs elbows with Drizzy, gets kicked out of his hotel, and crashes a lavish crypto party.  Puffy is in the mood to celebrate, Lester turns down fame, and the guys react to Tom Brady's retirement.  We celebrate Soccer Canada's incredible run, ponder moving the Super Bowl, and debate the value of a kidney.

Jimmy relives his hole in one, breaks down how insurance works, and finds out the meaning of his surname.  Puffy has a hypothetical based on a movie he hasn't seen, while Stoff digs an old story right out of the trash bin.  With The Looper away we can only hope this whole things comes together…

James attempts to build a happy life, albeit via plagiarism, Puffy wants to temper expectations for Jimmy's obit.  Stoff can't believe what some people will pay for, while Lester earns himself a new nickname.  Rubber Boots Reacts to the latest in the Jake Paul saga, the boys extend an olive branch to Danny Devito, and it looks like the Rubber Boots Guy finally found someone to put Rubber Boots on the table for him.

RIP Bob Saget and Sidney Poitier

Jimmy goes into the woods and emerges a hero…as if his new TikTok stardom didn't go to his head already.  After surviving a porch pirate scare, the boys address the cancelation of the World Juniors, and James tells a hilarious story about the O Dog from their brief time in Edmonton.  The boys pay their respects to Betty White, take umbrage with Pat Sajak, and get a sneak peak at one of Jimmy's home movies (lots of skin in Season 8!).

With the holidays in full swing it's a good time to sit back and stream some shows… Our panel of esteemed, ahem, "experts" is here to guide you along the way!  The guys discuss the first couple episodes of True Story, Lester helps Jimmy do some release date math, and James gives a less than glowing review of Gemini Man.  The boys revisit their Jake Gyllenhaal discussion, and Puffy is very excited to learn that Greenland 2 is in production (Stoff…less thrilled).  We recommend a a couple of new shows, debate what the 'Best Summer Song' is and ponder who would win on a fight against our younger selves.

Oh and bloopers, plenty of bloopers.

Our streak of Legendary guests continues… Bob McKenzie aka The Bobfather aka Bobby Margarita joins the pod to discuss his quest to becoming a liquor mogul.  Bob breaks down how his signature drink came to be, from initial idea to developing the flavour.  The guys eagerly anticipate the Ontario release, and even tell Bob whose orders he can count on nationwide.
