Real Good Show

This week on the show full of fairy tale stuff you won't teach your kids about, we're joined by RGS Special Horse Girl, former show-jumper (and Justin's girlfriend) Kari Campbell, who schools us on whether the horse is doing all the work, how Stefan would fare as a rider, and why equestrian sports belong in the Olympics. PLUS: Ryan Lochte! Jared Leto! Will Hayes! And exploring the reggae roots of our dear friend, Harambe. We can't phantom you missing this one.

This week on the show that definitely holds water, we discuss the 2016 Rio Olympics -- but only very tangentially. Is swimming the fastest really that impressive? And the fans rally to force John to watch a disgusting video of a weightlifter snapping his arm in half. PLUS: After the raucous reaction to last week's Limp Bizkit material, John's Nü-Metal Nook casts its watchful eye on Linkin Park and Korn. Support the show at www.patreon.com/RealGoodShow

This week on the show you'll wish had never returned from hiatus, Stefan and John are back from exciting trips with tales of athlete run-ins at Just For Laughs and rubbing shoulders with Political Twitter elites at the DNC. And while Justin may not have gone anywhere, he did see The Tragically Hip (thanks, SeatGeek!). PLUS: Avoiding The Noid! 1408! Rio's disgusting water! And John ruins the show with nü-metal.

It's the slowest week for sports of the year, so we give thanks to the Lone Wolf Tenor and his shameful act for giving us something to talk about. Beyond that, we receive the greatest gift a listener might ever send us -- and open it live on-air for maximum reaction authenticity. PLUS: John goes backstage at Pemberton, Stefan dives into peak meme season with the RNC, and Justin liked Ghostbusters. (Stefan did, too.) Support the show at www.patreon.com/RealGoodShow

With John off on tour, Stefan and Justin are joined by David Carr Fellow and New York Times Magazine writer Greg Howard to discuss Kevin Durant signing with the Warriors, the tackiness of Golden State's recruiting pitch, and what his departure means for Russell Westbrook. Then things get serious, with a frank discussion on how classist power structures at the amateur level create racial tension and disparity in traditionally white sports, and why "transcending race" is a lie. PLUS: lots of P.K. Subban feelings, Stefan's experiences in professional political trolling, and why Edmonton fans deserve to suffer.

It's the One Year Anniversary of America's Best Worst Canadian Sports Podcast, and we're hitting all of our usual topics: Jim Benning being a bungling idiot at the NHL draft, dead gorillas, and the IMDb message boards. PLUS: the very nature of sports fandom, whether today's living legends are being appreciated in their day, and if you could poop a puck out your butt.

50 episodes! Can you believe we're still doing this?? This week we're celebrating the big 5-0 with top-shelf guests, new and old! Writer/model Melissa Stetten talks up THE PISTOL SHRIMPS as the L.A. women's rec league basketball squad hits the big screen, and shares a priceless Blake Griffin story. NEXT, Dalhousie Tigers forward (and RGS Official College Student) Jackson Playfair returns to the show to analyze how his friend Auston Matthews' vibrant personality will shine under the big-league media spotlight. FINALLY, Jesse Farrar desperately tries to make it on to the big anniversary special, and this description should already tell you he succeeds.

This week on the show that's getting it done in OT, rock journalist Daniel Ralston pops by to discuss his BuzzFeed piece about fake bands, fraudulent tours, and the disreputable origins of ZZ Top. ...at least, we *think* it's the real Daniel Ralston. PLUS: Muppet Babies! The Frasier-verse! The Finals roll on! And we continue our thorough investigation of Troy Brouwer's gigantic balls.

This week on the show that we don't understand but still very much enjoy, the Cincinnati Zoo murders their gorilla... That counts as a sport, right? At the very least it sends us down a monkey movie rabbit hole, beginning with the monkey-in-a-hotel classic Dunston Checks In, and ending with Air Bud Studios' dog-wrestling movie Russell Madness. PLUS: The merits of playoff bandwagoning, and Troy Brouwer's enormous balls. Support the show at www.patreon.com/RealGoodShow

This week on a lengthy show with a plump runtime, Justin and Stefan are reeling in the immediate aftermath of the Canucks acquiring Erik Gudbranson from the Florida Panthers. If miserable sports pain is what keeps you coming back to RGS, this one's a doozy. PLUS: We're joined by Dick Pud, head of cyber security at KattWillFerrell Enterprises LLC, who tells us how he repelled ISIS forces from the popular Twitter parody parody account.

The painful agony of defeat. The thrilling elation of victory. It's an episode full of hockey emotion, as we react to the outcomes of the 2016 NHL Draft Lottery.

Recorded over a week ago, it's an episode that might seem dated had we been able to talk sports for longer than, I don't know, ten minutes? So thank real goodness we couldn't! It's another delirious late night recording session, as we talk Angry Birds, the Emoji Movie, Robocop, Robo-Jocks, and the best American candies. PLUS: We bid farewell to hockey's douchiest teams!
