Lol...Jello givjn' zero cred to the boyz....
You know Donny - you're right. Never listened to a single thing they've said on their show...
I've just watched Bissonette play hockey. And listened to him on HNiC the few times he's filled in.
Just couldn't decide what he was worse at. Taking punches to the face or his takes.
All of these guys get paid for views. Podcasters are like the new teachers. These who can, do. Those who can't?
On a level with Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
Get a real job.

Not sure of the validity of it all but keep reading that the Rangers have or are inquiring about the availability of JT Miller. And speaking of Miller, what the fuck is going on? Any insight on this, it’s getting weird.

Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw JT pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Jello, I listen to several different podcasts, the value in all of them are their guests. If the host is good, he can get the guest started and then just roll with it to keep the guest going. They have done their research and have a good idea what buttons to press, when and how hard to get the most from the guest.
Some of the better ones come across as conversations not adversarial debates or Q and A sessions.

I actually have only listened to a few, and only 3-4 eps. All the ones I've heard that I thought would be interesting, mostly seem to be the podcaster waxing poetic about how much knowledge they have on a topic, less actually sharing said knowledge.
Any suggestions for me to peek at? Keeping in mind, Mining and Resource management aren't hugely important topics to me. Science, history, books, or even trades (woodworking, building etc.) are a few interests if that crosses any of yours?

Lex Fridman is a favorite podcast, pick a guest you'd like to hear. He recently had Argentina's Milei as a guest and I read a few minutes ago that Zielinski has just agreed to a show. Warning, many are 3+ hours long.
His interview with Trump and Vivek were both very good. I haven't listened to his Barry Sanders interview but will at some point.
Woodworking - there is a luthier out of Hamilton, Tom Woodford, who does a weekly +/- 20 minute YouTube (channel is twoodfrd) clip on guitar repair. I have no interest in guitar repair but his woodworking skills combined with salt of the earth, whimsical dry humour has me hooked.
Many of the political podcasts I was catching have turned to shit, the final weeks to the election were redundant cheering and now it is redundant gloating. All quite sad. Screaming at windmills while preaching to the choir.
Rogan is hit or miss. He's not very smart and his guests get away with some really absurd things. It is to often verging on shock jock. Pick a guest you'd like to learn more about and it may be a learning experience.
Jordan Peterson has become a pompous characture of himself. Dove off the deep end of religion and now wears a coat of many colours. Last of his I watched was a bit of a debate over evolution and the Bible with Richard Dawkins that was a sad show for Jordan.
There is an Olympic level Canadian cyclist (BMX - 5th in Rio, also represented Canada in London, won Gold at the PanAm games in Toronto) that I used to listen to his podcast. Conversations with other elite level racers and industry figures. What I found most interesting was how fucked up mentally most of those high end athletes are. As their careers come to an end they begin to realize how messed up they are. Some weird shit. Pat of it may be going through life with singular focus blinders. The host was forced to retire due to concussion issues. Two years after the incident, he was still unable to train. Has some interesting lessons from that he'd pass along.

Canucks called Bruins trying to get Zadorov back in trade: report
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canucks ... orov-trade
In light of the FH17 injury, seems to be a lots of chatter about Nucks re-aquiring Big Zaddy. In memory of Skyo, I know he liked Zadorov back in the day as well.
I dunno how we pull off the trade with our cap situation, but I won't mind getting Zaddy back. The Bs have to retain though (minimum $1M/per, ideally $1.5) and it has to be fairly cheap asset wise.

I agree, I don't know how this happens.....
For starters, why would Boston do this? They are struggling already, barely above .500 with a minus-16 differential and just fired their coach a couple weeks ago in hopes of turning it around. Trading Z (a guy the just signed to a 5 year deal)
and retaining, just doesn't seem like something that happens for a team like them, especially in their centennial season.
Zadorov is probably valued at a 2nd rounder price, similar to last season. Probably a bit higher as now has term attached. Retaining salary bumps that price significantly unless the retention can limited to the first couple of seasons (is that possible?).
Vancouver is in a bit of a bind right now, cap-wise and also due to injuries.....our window (if it is indeed one) is seen as being the next 3-4 years. Any team trading an impact roster player to Vancouver would be foolish not to drive as a hard a bargain as possible.
The only scenario I see here is the a 3-way trade where the Canucks send out their 1st round pick plus a young player (Hoglander or better) to a team that then sends a top-6 centre to Boston while Boston then sends Zadorov back to Vancouver.....chances are it costs Vancouver their 1st, a roster player, and another prospect or pick to cover the retainer.
I'm not convinced this team is in the window to pay that price right now.

Thanks for the detailed response, I'll avoid Joe - mostly because of the stupid factor, but will certainly check out the luthier, top of the game they are - something all of us hobbyists aspire to.
Got me really interested about the BMXer. Athletes are such an interesting mental study. Any single-driven focus - that has an expiration date, with a small window of success... has to fuck with their view of the world.
Cheers - I'll make some time and review my opinion on podcasts.

Rogan’s not dumb. He’s brilliant at getting his guests to be interesting. That’s his secret. But his show often meanders and veers into silly hour. It’s a guest dependent listen. The stuff he does with titans of business are generally the best, and I really enjoyed his Vance interview.
Rick Beato doesn’t have a podcast, but his you tube channel is gold when he interviews musicians. He gets into lots of rock/jazz music nerd details with his guests. So if you are into playing or recording music or are listen attentively (more than background) to music made before 2000, these interviews are definitely worth watching. The rest of his content I could take or leave.
“Public intellectual” type podcasts worth checking out besides Fridman’s (which I agree is good) are Triggernometry (based in the UK) and Chris Williamson (maybe called modern wisdom?). Again, they get great guests and generally let them speak. All the shows are conversational more than interrogative.

Mëds, the reason Boston trades Z is that he has a good chance to be a high price long term contract for guy that’s played at best a 4-5 and they fear will be a 6-7. Is Z on his contract an asset or a mid- and long-term liability?
