Real Good Show

This week on the show that's not watching Olympic hockey (thanks Bettman), comedian RYAN WILLIAMS returns to tell us how to void a sample in athletic drug testing, and bring the energy Stefan can no longer muster after 12 hours of Twitch streaming. PLUS: John goes deep on Olympic curling controversies! I believe! Do you believe?? I love my thick wife! And we set our trading blocks for the trade deadline of life. Follow Ryan on Twitter: @Ryanornot Support the show at patreon.com/RealGoodShow, where $5 this month gets you our Emergency Jim Benning Extension Ep, with The Athletic's Justin Bourne, as well as our monthly Mailbag. Outro Music: "All of Me", by John Legend

The Canucks decided to give Jim Benning three more years as GM, so we decided to revive the aggrieved hockey talk you once knew and loved from us. The Athletic's Justin Bourne joins to discuss why extending Jim Benning is like re-electing George W., the prospect-starved history of Vancouver, the spectre of meddling ownership, the enduring struggle of hockey culture against forward progress, and the role of toughness in today's NHL. It was a dang treat having him on. This is but a taste. SUBSCRIBE FOR FULL EPISODE: www.patreon.com/RealGoodShow
