How are things? I don't think July 2nd is going to provide nearly as many fireworks. Pardon me. to the workings of the Canucks yesterday. But there's still lots of stuff happening. The Canucks did actually make a minor league deal today. So, I mean, I'm not saying it's impossible the Canucks pull off another major deal here in the next 36 hours of the business week, but it's possible. Fun yesterday.
Honestly, if I can just speak to Ryan Johnson here for a second. Sure is listening. R.J., Terrific work to date, particularly the trade yesterday. Really loved that we didn't hear things like, oh, you should have heard the offers for our players. Oh, we ran out of time. Oh, yeah, I'm not sure what happened there. We were going to circle back. Take the weekend off. You've been very, very busy. You looked tired. You sounded tired. Take the weekend. Do absolutely nothing. And make some announcements Monday, Tuesday. Get back to business.
If I might interject, Ryan, can I have a moment? There's 36 hours left in the business week.
No, no, no. Nobody works on Fridays in the summer in Vancouver. No, no, no, no.
He's not talking to people in Vancouver. They work Fridays in Minneapolis. Go to work for the next 36 hours. Take the rest of the summer off.
Oh, wait a second. No, no, no, no, no. We need content. What's Mike going to clip?
If he makes another major move, we will have lots to masticate. Do it Monday or Tuesday.
Run out next week. Okay. Because here's the thing. What an extraordinary weekend of sports we are heading into here, huh? It's Matt's Friday, so he's previewing the weekend already. Again, people in Vancouver don't work summer Fridays. Come on, Blake. Everybody knows this.
Oh, I'm happy to know that I have to work tomorrow.
It's good. So just locally here, you have the round of 32 match tonight with Switzerland and Algeria. Tomorrow... At Nat Bailey Stadium, you have the Friday Nooner with future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer on the bump for the Vancouver Canadiens. Saturday, you have touchdown Kelowna, the Lions and Elks at the Apple Bowl. But of course, in the morning, you have Canada-Morocco. Sunday, you have England-Mexico from the Azteca, Blake. And of course, you have the Blue Jays in Seattle. starting tomorrow as well. Lots going on. This is just extraordinary.
Good times. Also, the John Deere Classic. You really left out the John Deere Classic.
I am so excited. I found myself giddy at one point yesterday, just thinking of everything. That's the anticipation is getting to me. We've got a World Cup match on right now. Hard to take your eyes off it. The Spanish play beautiful football, don't they?
They really do.
Do they still call it tiki-taka football, or are we past that generation?
If people haven't picked up on this, when Matt is on the cusp of days off, he gets very excited, very bright. He gets very optimistic about the world. I do. Sunshine and daisies. I do. When he comes back from sin, different story.
Get hit up. The outlet mall at Tulalip tomorrow on the way down because they have sleeves that fit me. Americans, they're big people, so they tend to have the extra tall shirts that I require. 37 sleeve, big wingspan. You're getting drafted? I have a tough decision to make tomorrow and Saturday. I've thought about it a little bit. I think tomorrow I'm going to wear the Blue Jays hat with the Canadiens jersey. And then Saturday I'm going to wear the Canada soccer hat with the Blue Jays jersey. How does that strike you? Because Saturday is match day, so I think I want the Canadian soccer hat.
