They're back, not due to popular demand - Mike Morreale and Rob Hitchcock return for Episode #51 to reminisce about their football careers. They talk about their 25th reunion of the Grey Cup at the Ticats Home opener and the half a dozen fans asking about the return of the podcast. The conversation segues into their retirement from football and the speeches they gave at their retirement ceremony. They discuss the recent Grey Cup reunion and the players who attended. They mention their plans for future episodes, including interviews with ex-players and coaches, and possibly some fans. Mike and Hitch use the podcast as an opportunity to catch up and discuss various topics, including their experiences with a burger deal, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, their children, golf, and the future of the podcast. They also touch on the use of helmet padding in football and the tough reputation of Hamilton and end with a discussion about upcoming episodes and the goal of reaching 100 episodes.
