EP 15 In the latest episode of “You Would Think,” hosts Bobby D and Mikey D dive into a range of topics spanning from local Halifax celebrations to professional sports controversies, all delivered with their signature humor and candid perspectives.
The episode kicks off with a discussion about Halifax’s Natal Day, a holiday celebrating the city’s founding. The hosts explain that the Latin word “natal” refers to birth, and share observations about how quiet the city becomes during this celebration, with most businesses closed and special events like parades and fireworks scheduled throughout the day. They reminisce about the Buskers Festival that coincides with the holiday, noting how the street performers attract crowds and create a lively atmosphere in downtown Halifax, an area already known for its high concentration of bars and entertainment venues.
Moving to sports news, the hosts analyze Luka Dončić’s recent contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, worth $165 million over three years. They explain how the trade from Dallas affected his eligibility for a larger “supermax” contract, and why the three-year deal strategically positions him to qualify for an even bigger payday when he reaches his tenth year in the league. In a refreshing twist, they highlight Dončić’s commitment to donate $5 million to help 77 young athletes develop their careers, praising this philanthropic gesture in contrast to the typical headlines about athlete wealth.
The conversation shifts to media personality Shannon Sharpe, who was recently let go by ESPN following allegations of inappropriate behavior. The hosts discuss how this news unfortunately overshadowed his brother Sterling’s NFL Hall of Fame induction, noting that the Sharpe brothers made history as siblings in the Hall of Fame. This segment reflects on accountability in high-profile positions and the lasting impact of personal misconduct allegations.
A particularly poignant segment features Mikey D sharing his harrowing experience surviving an apartment building fire. He recounts putting out multiple small fires before a major incident forced him to rescue his cats and wait on his balcony until firefighters arrived—only to discover their ladder wasn’t tall enough to reach him on the fourth floor. This personal story transitions into a discussion about current firefighter shortages in Halifax, particularly concerning given the city’s growth in high-rise buildings. The hosts critique problematic hiring practices that may be preventing qualified candidates from joining the force despite the evident need.
The episode also tackles the recent controversy surrounding actress Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle commercial, where her line about “blue jeans” became the target of bizarre accusations connecting it to racist ideology. The hosts express frustration at what they see as manufactured outrage, arguing that people are searching for problems where none exist and suggesting jealousy might be motivating some of the criticism toward the successful actress.
