Hey everyone! Thank you for tuning to the latest episode of The Great Banana Hoax. Darnell Jenkins made it to the CJSR studio for the ENTIRE show, after an adventure in Atlantic City, or New Jersey, or...somewhere.
It was a laugh-filled affair as we paid tribute to a number of athletes who recently called it quits. Some, like Av's company man Joe Sakic, retired from the sport; while others, like Steve McNair and Arturo Gatti, retired from life.
The much-anticipated UFC 100 happened a couple days ago. Canadian GSP came out with the decision in a five-round slobberknocker. The other title fight, in the heavyweight division, saw man-beast Brock Lesnar beat the FUCK out of Frank Mir. I especially enjoyed Lesnar's victory speech, rife with allusions to nonexistent beer endorsements, orifice penetration and rough sex with his wife. At least he offered an apology. Thank you to listener Shane for informing us that Lesnar did not even make it to the Olympics. Apparently they test for steroids...Regardless, Lesnar is a freak. A broadsword-tattooed freak.
Other topics we discussed included the recent lackluster performance by the Blue Jays. The all-star break is upon the MLB, and the Jays are in dire need of some time off to give their ruffled feathers a shake. Two words: CANDY MALDONADO.
As I'm updating this entry, and actually proofreading it, the Home Run Derby is on in the background. Prince Fielder placed one 497 feet from the plate. And now, Joe Buck is being interviewed. I've always loved watching the home run derby. Reminds me of my all-time favourite Super Nintendo game.
We also discussed, in greater detail than was necessary, former CFL QB and current TSN analyst Matt Dunigan. Not only did he have a class mullet in his heyday, he hosts his own barbeque-themed reality show!
