EP 06 Nova Scotia driving, criminal record checks, and the absurdity of NBA salaries – these diverse topics weave together in the latest episode of “You Would Think with Bobby D and Mikey D.” The hosts start by proudly displaying their 100,000 subscriber YouTube plaque for Bobby’s “Muscle and Fiction” channel, inviting viewers to check out both their fitness content and podcast episodes available across platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Bobby’s recent return to Nova Scotia sets the stage for amusing anecdotes about adapting to the region’s love for roundabouts. His navigation struggles lead to an impromptu high-speed adventure on empty roads, highlighting the peculiar challenges of driving in unfamiliar territory. The hosts share another driving story involving a street race – “For four sets of lights, we hooked for all four sets” – between Bobby’s Lexus and a classic Trans Am, delivering the kind of nostalgic street racing tale that many listeners can relate to even if they’d never admit participating themselves.
The conversation shifts to Bobby’s recent visit to the RCMP for a criminal record check, which took an unexpected turn when they called him back immediately after leaving. The reason? Someone with the exact same name and birthdate potentially causing confusion in the system. This segues into humorous border crossing stories, including one where Mike was interrogated about his relationship to a mysterious “Bruce” with the same last name, despite having no such relative.
NBA discussions dominate the middle section of the podcast, focusing on the astronomical contracts recently signed by stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Devin Booker. The hosts marvel at how close the league is getting to players earning “a million dollars a game,” reflecting on how these massive deals impact team building. They share insights about young players like Cooper Flagg and Bronny James, analyzing their potential and the media attention surrounding them despite their vastly different skill levels and professional prospects.
Music memories surface as they discuss Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron’s departure after decades with the band. Bobby recalls seeing Pearl Jam and Chris Cornell live, noting how Cornell sounded “better live” than on recordings, sparking nostalgia for MTV Unplugged performances that captivated a generation of music fans.
The conversation touches on Scarlett Johansson recently becoming the highest-grossing actor of all time, surpassing Robert Downey Jr., an achievement made more impressive by the fact that “she did way less movies” to reach that milestone. The episode wraps with reflections on Nova Scotia’s ski hills, particularly Martok, which was recently sold and will be developed into a four-season resort, triggering memories of their wild adventures at Sugar Loaf ski hill back in their younger days.
Throughout the episode, the hosts deliver their signature blend of observational humor and candid commentary, establishing a conversational style that makes listeners feel like they’re simply hanging out with old friends sharing stories that range from relatable everyday frustrations to absurd adventures from their past.
