What is the show format and who is hosting the July 30th episode?
Hey, it's Bob Stauffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. Welcome everybody, Bob Stauffer in the 880 Ched Studios, the city's southeast side. Did I hear that right? We don't have like rain and thunder warning tonight? No storms? Really? Inconceivable. Inconceivable. To say the least. Welcome, everybody. Back in the studio after being out in Irma in Wainwright yesterday. We got Aidan Gannon with us and Derek Scott and Kellen Kennedy coming in a little bit later on. Canadian boxing legend Kenny LaCosta will be joining us in studio today. He makes an appearance once a year on the show, courtesy in part by our friends with Elite Promotional Marketing.
And... Yeah, we're looking forward to it. Not a lot of times you get to talk to a guy who once fought George Foreman, who sparred with Mike Tyson, and who has as strong of opinions as he does on the plight of the Edmonton Oilers. He's much like Trent Brown. I like having Trent in studio from James H. Brown, and I like having Kenny LaCouste come in as well. So Kenny's going to join us today between 5 to 6 at 435. A lengthy sit-down conversation. with Hockey Canada Program of Excellence General Manager Alan Miller about the summer showcases taking place as we speak in Ontario. And next week, and I'll be down there at the Holinka Gretzky hosting Oilers now. So we're looking forward to those events, and we'll hook up with Alan to get a bit of a perspective on that.
I mentioned yesterday we were in Irma and Wainwright, and we'll hear from Dylan Holloway. Bobby McMahon, Carson Soucy, who all joined us from the show yesterday, as well as John Shannon momentarily in the Oilers now. Audio Vault want to send a special shout-out at this time to Mike and Rick, Bruce, Randy, and Chris for patiently putting up with your first time on the course all year yesterday.
Which guests and special appearances are announced for today's show?
Aiden, guess what happened? They split the teams. We had two groups of three, and the one group had all the goalies. And then the non-goalies. And somebody made three putts. Yes, from like 8 to 12 feet out.
What local events and travel stories does Bob share from Irma and Wainwright?
And so we ended up pulling off a win. Because I'm the worst golfer alive.
I'm a driving range guy. So you're already better than me.
No, no, no. And I used to give it to Bryn Griffiths and Jake Daniels back in the days at... the team 1260 for how much they basically I Think Brynn kind of basically begged guys to let him golf for free all around the city, right? Wasn't that part of the shtick? I used to and I told Brynn I never want to do a morning show. So I'm the perfect guy to work with you, right? It's just not my it's not my style and Because I either worked planting trees while I was in university, and I was in university a long time, or worked in the restaurant business, I never had a lot of time to golf back in the day. And so of the sports media in town, I would be unequivocally the worst golfer. I could throw the ball and do better, but I have mellowed with age a bit, so very undisciplined, which, frankly, I was kind of when I skated as well.
The only difference was I had a little bit more ability that way. Not enough to play in the Western Hockey League when there was 12 teams, though.
