2018-10-131h 43Real Good Show164 - Home AloneThis week on the show that needs something to blame after last year, John is away watching the Leafs home opener, so Stefan and Justin fly solo and go heavy on Canucks content right before the 2018/19 NHL season kicks off.

Prayers up, because our boy has a serious concussion. He will return to show in due time, but in the meantime enjoy this lively chat from before his injury, as we get into it about the latest advancement for women's wrestling in WWE in just two rounds this week, as we make room for a loaded mailbag. And those rounds are: 1. WWE Evolution! What could the first-ever women's-only WWE pay-per-view have in store for us...
2018-07-311h 26Real Good Show153 - Quick BrunchThis week on the show that rhymes with "yummy", the boys can't wait to rake Justin over his latest professional foible: fainting in the heat during a staff BBQ!

That's right, it's another edition of Top Marks and Justin and Josh break from the format once again for another two round episode breaking down what are surely two of the biggest stories in wrestling. And they are: 1. Dolph Ziggler's Renaissance. Is the show-stealer really on the rise again as a true top guy, or does wrestling Seth Rollins make everyone look good? 2. Handsome Rusev's Rise to Prominence. We look back at the long road it's...
2018-07-101h 45Real Good Show151 - Roussel Madness (with Jackson Playfair)This week on the show that knows car and cat are only separated by one letter (isn't that neat?), Dalhousie Tigers forward and former WHL beauty JACKSON PLAYFAIR returns to the show for an in-studio hockey spectacular.

2018-07-061h 48Top Marks56 - Hell Yes (with John Cullen)Just like Daniel Bryan and Kane, the #goodfriends are back together podcasting side-by-side for another episode! This time we're joined by comedian and podcaster JOHN CULLEN (Real Good Show, Stone + Straw, Podcaps), at least for Keep It Or Kick It and an extended edition of listener questions. To make room for all those questions we're down to just two rounds this week, and they are: 1. Raw's Universal Title problem. It feels more glaringly obvious than ever that Brock Lesnar as champion is killing WWE television. We discuss, and speculate on what keeps Sable happy in those cold...
2018-07-012h 02Top Marks53 - Made An ImpactWe get back to the classic three round format this week and it's our longest episode ever as a result! We also totally goofed and thought Dominion was on later this evening instead of last night, so, I mean, our preview is entirely dated before the episode even drops. Oh well. The #goodfriends are breaking down the Top 3 biggest stories in the world of pro wrestling, and this week they are: 1. The Trial of CM Punk! We get into the court case that kept Punk and Colt Cabana tied up for years, and wonder what lies ahead...
2018-06-091h 51Top Marks50 - All Out (of Tickets)The #goodfriends are strapped for time this week and frankly the wrestling world's not that interesting at the moment so we're only breaking down the Top 2 stories this week instead of the usual three. And this week they are: 1. All In sold out! Justin walks us through the ticket-buying experience before the #goodfriends discuss the show itself and what this means for indie wrestling. 2. Daniel Bryan's return! Because nothing is sacred when it comes to internet commentary, people have already soured on the D. Bry revival. Is there merit to the complaints, or is this a...
2018-05-201h 31Real Good Show144 - Nim-Nims (with Nima Gholamipour)This week on the show that didn't have Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant carrying us down the court, improvisor NIMA GHOLAMIPOUR joins the show to discuss his basketball skills, why John should be the next coach of the Raptors, Power Rangers, and what's worse: bad improv or bad stand-up. PLUS: What's the show worth? The CJFL makes headlines for all the wrong reasons! Justin lost his job! And John displays a startling knowledge of MTV's My Sweet Sixteen.

2018-05-171h 32Top Marks48 - Sorry That Women ExistThings get heated this week as the boys breakdown the WWE's venture into Saudi Arabia and Justin unloads on the show's problematic values and Saudi propaganda. But the #goodfriends are much more happy to be previewing this weekend's PPV, and go long on this week's two rounds: 1. Backlash preview! Lots to get to here in the first joint-brand non-Big 4 PPV, so we go into overtime to breakdown all the match-ups and make the most of what has been a cluttered and confusing build. 2. Greatest Royal Rumble review! Josh breaks down the card and Justin explains why...

And this week they are: 1. Greatest Royal Rumble. Previewing the match card in advance of next week's show, and discussing our feelings on WWE even doing a show in Saudi Arabia at all. 2. The New Raw. Post Shake-Up we look at Raw's new roster on the prospects of the show going forward. 3. The New SmackDown Live. Then we do...

2018-02-221h 53Real Good ShowTEASER: Emergency Benning Extension Ep (with Justin Bourne)The Canucks decided to give Jim Benning three more years as GM, so we decided to revive the aggrieved hockey talk you once knew and loved from us. The Athletic's Justin Bourne joins to discuss why extending Jim Benning is like re-electing George W., the prospect-starved history of Vancouver, the spectre of meddling ownership, the enduring struggle of hockey culture against forward progress, and the role of toughness in today's NHL. It was a dang treat having him on. This is but a taste. SUBSCRIBE FOR FULL EPISODE: www.patreon.com/RealGoodShow
