All right, I was not expecting this, but I'll take it. The Jays are back home, back in action tonight. We're playing the Major League theme song. I know the Leafs have not won five in a row, and I know the Raptors have not won five in a row.
But maybe the Blue Jays are on the verge of doing that. I love the song. I love the movie. And I just hope the Jays have a great season. I love opening day.
Chapter 2: What are the highlights of the Blue Jays' opening season against the Athletics?
Yeah, it really feels like opening day. Minus 12 outside right now. Dude, it's not getting better either. No, I know.
We've got a couple more days of pain before it gets better.
Yeah, like the sun is out. And this is the benefit of the dome, right? Frankie Corrado's in here with us. Can you imagine if they had an outdoor park? playing tonight.
Do you remember the videos of the old games at the Exhibition Stadium with snow on the ground and stuff? First ever game at the Ex, it was snowing.
How's it any different than TFC having a play outside? I guess with soccer, you kind of You see those type of scenes more. You see it in baseball once they get to October. If you're in the World Series, you're like, I'll play through anything. Game one of 162 and minus weather.
It's not great. Bit of a grind. But the Dome will be closed tonight, so it's all good. And especially after you've been in Dunedin so long. But it's not just the Jays, right? Like the Tigers, they got to do it at some point. I mean, it's a hot pocket down there, so you get maybe minus 8 instead of minus 12. I did see that, actually. Last week, someone sent me a snapshot of Windsor.
Yeah, it was 21 degrees in Windsor. 21 degrees. Minus 8 in Sudbury, 21 in Windsor.
A big swing in the OHL right there. Hot pocket in the Midwest.
A hot pocket. Windsor is... The Tampa Bay Lightning of the O. Yeah, it is. Why isn't it? It should be like Florida. They should be in flip-flops and golf carts. What's going on with the Spitfires? I don't know. Are they a good team right now? I have no idea. Yeah, they're a good team. Are they a good team? Yeah, they're good. They get cyclical in the OHL.

Chapter 3: How are the Canadiens performing as the season progresses?
And they just tried to beat the wheels off.
Well, the, that was where Keefe and Jefferson, they all started at St. Mike's. Right. And then I think it was made clear more so from the school. These guys have got to get out of here. It's not going to work anymore. The whole hockey thing is working, but the whole school thing. Student athletes, first and foremost. Yeah, because at St.
Mike's, they had to show up and wear the suits and everything, and you'd see guys walking around in track pants, and teachers would be going nuts. They'd be like, this isn't going to work.
Crack pants. Is that just like, F you? Like, I'm not wearing this stuff?
Basically, you drafted me. I'm here to play. I guess I'll show up. Let's call a spade a spade. When you're that age and you're playing in the OHL, you make a mockery out of all kinds of things like that. Like, we showed up to the high school wearing our track suits. Why? All the locals knew who we were already. I totally disagree. And they hated us already.
Guelph Storm? Jim Rooney, Mr. Rooney, he was the principal of the high school. And we all had to wear uniforms. You all had to go to school. It didn't matter who you were. Like, you were going. Wow, that's good to hear. And it's like you weren't just showing up and putting your feet up and not. Like, you had to go to school, man.
I'm not going to say I gave 100%. That's the whole thing. You're supposed to go to school. I do think every team had a different relationship with the education system in their respective town. Because I had the same experience. When I first got to Barrett, it was like, you're going, and you've got to be there. And I was like, no problem.
And then elsewhere, you'd hear, oh, that guy hasn't been in school in three weeks, playing in other parts of the league.
I've heard stories of highly rated picks that... Never step foot. Not going.

Chapter 4: What happened to Tiger Woods in the recent car crash?
You don't want to feel like you're coming to the national team for a little vacation to get home to Toronto and to maybe see your family. He doesn't see it like that. No, we're here to win games and represent this country as best as possible.
All right, be honest. How many run-ins have you had where, like, F you contest? Because I used to ā I hated ā my coaching relationships, it was like, close the door, let's talk man-to-man here. We've got to air some things out.
We've had a couple, and I've got one story that's actually pretty good. Last summer ā I got married, and the plan was that I wasn't going to play in the Gold Cup. I was going to go have my wedding.
I made a deal with him where I wasn't going to bring a ton of players from the national team to my wedding just so that they could go to the national team camp and make it all work, and that was fair. So I'm away. I'm on my honeymoon, and he gives me a call and says, Hey, look, like...
I want you to come to this tournament, and I know you're planning on maybe coming and showing up later, but can we move the flight up? Can you get in a little bit earlier? And I'm looking at my now wife on the beach, and I'm going, poof, Jesse, that is a bit of a tough sell. You just passed the phone over and said, ask her.
I know, I literally nearly went, well, if you can run it by her, then you can get the all clear. But anyways, convince the wife to let me do it. Still in the doghouse a little bit for that. I bet, man. So anyways, though, I fly. I fly. From St. Lucia through Charlotte to Vancouver. So no joke, travel, get in. And I'm thinking, okay, my first day.
I've just been away for two weeks off the back of a European schedule. Off the back of my wedding, for crying out loud. I'm thinking it's going to be a light one. No, right in the full team training. And that next game, he's like, I want you to play. I want you to come off the bench. And I'm like, alright. I've trained like twice since I've been here. Again, I'm still...
maybe 5% still in honeymoon mode, you know, kind of enjoying it, got the tan on. In Vancouver, it was just great, you know, everything was going good. And he brings me off the bench, I remember it was in Houston, the last group stage game, and it was just a tough game, this tough Curacao team, physical, going long, and they scored an equalizer late. We still get through the group.
But he comes up to me and he goes... Tony... He absolutely rips me after. He catches me one-on-one in the... Like, you're not ready. You're still on your honeymoon. All of this. I love it. All business, man.
