Episode 259 | Podskee Wee Wee
On this week's show, Mike and Josh give out their 2023 Tiger-Cats player award winners, debate where the 2023 Argos rank all-time, reveal which non-Ticats Grey Cup matchups they most and least want to see, and preview Saturday's glorified preseason game between the Tabbies and Montreal Alouettes.
1998 East Final Watch Along
Join Mike and Josh as they travel back in time and watch the 1998 East Final between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes.
Emergency Podskee: Condell Out, Milanovich In
On a special emergency episode, Mike and Josh sat down last week to discuss the team parting ways with Tommy Condell and installing Scott Milanovich as play caller.
Episode 253 | Podskee Wee Wee
On this week's show, Mike and Josh address the state of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at the midway-ish point of the season, power rank the league's nine head coaches and play a game of "One Correct Answer." (Show note: This episode was recorded before the news broke that the Ticats had parted ways with Tommy Condell. We will address that item on the next episode.)
Episode 269: Time to Get Paid
On this week's episode, Mike and Josh discuss all the Ticats' free agency news, including Tim White's re-signing, other players returning, the incoming class of free agents and the holes that still need to be filled on the roster.
The Tory party needs to be put on life support
Anthony Devlin/Bloomberg It hasn’t been a great month to be a Tory. And October is only half way through. Yesterday, quite rightly, all the focus of the political world was on Tel Aviv and Sharm El-Sheikh as all the living hostages were released from their underground hell in Gaza to rapturous scenes of joy in Israel. It was a momentous and historic day – albeit one that proved Sir Keir Starmer and Britain have become little more than a bit part player on the global stage.
The brutal truth is that Britain is only a world leader in dysfunction
Even for this increasingly hapless Government, September has been a bizarre and often incomprehensible month. Setting aside the decision this weekend to recognise Palestine as a state, forgetting about the defence and then defenestration of Lord Peter Mandelson and ignoring the ludicrous claim that sending a handful of migrants to France while thousands came the other way is proof that “one in, one out” is a success – we have yet another contender for most contradictory policy of all time.
It will take decades to unpick Starmer’s ludicrous ‘deals’
If Donald Trump practices the art of the deal, Keir Starmer gets closer to the art of the steal. Unfortunately, though, it’s everyone else that is stealing from us, and not the other way around. As soon as Labour got in I could see the writing was on the wall. Desperate to curry favour with the unions, Starmer sent his ministers out to solve the unrest in the public sector. He sanctioned Wes Streeting to hand over a 22 per cent pay rise to the junior doctors.
Reform are gearing up to kick Starmer’s red wall down
Our illustrious leader Sir Keir Starmer has left the country. Those ten words ought to bring a surge of hope to anyone wondering if Britain will ever recover from this Labour government. We are assured that the Prime Minister has taken his family on a commercial flight to an undisclosed location for a few days, and that there are no plans to hand over the reigns of power to his deputy Angela Rayner. And for that, given how she’s handled the Birmingham bins crisis, we should be thankful.
Episode 303: Canadian Made
On this edition, Mike and Josh discuss the moves the Tiger-Cats made after the negotiation window closed, including inking three-time Grey Cup champ DaShaun Amos and releasing one of last year's free agency splashes, Brandon Barlow. They also talk about the surprising jump in the 2025 salary cap and how the CFL might be able to capitalize on this newfound wave of Canadian patriotism.

Labour’s war on crime should start at home
Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime. Does that ring a bell? How about “hug a hoodie”? These are phrases that should remind you of simpler time, just two toe-curlingly embarrassing slogans used by Prime Ministers – in this case Blair and Cameron – to try and make it look like they knew something about dealing with the lawless members of our society. It was still easy a decade ago to think that street crime was something that happened to other people.
The sooner Rachel Reeves is gone, the better
Rachel Reeves isn’t very good with other people’s money. She’s got a history of running up debts, splashing cash and trying to borrow her way out of fiscal futility. So far so embarrassing for a government minister with a mountain to climb trying to convince farmers, pensioners, business owners and even her own party that she knows what she’s doing. This does not appear to have been a recent development: Reeves may have struggled with accounts before getting anywhere near Downing Street.
Episode 301: It's Not a Streak
On this edition, Mike and Josh discuss their likes and dislikes of the recently revealed 2025 Hamilton Tiger-Cats' schedule, the first of hopefully many CFLPA team grades and the bizarre couple of days where a former NFL tight end pretended to care about the CFL.
Thank you, Donald Trump - for bringing back the spirit of Reagan
It’s morning in America. Donald Trump is back. And this time he not only means business but he’s actually on a mission to take the world on a journey of growth, exploration and success. While he talks about missions to Mars, the replenishment of common sense to government and the country, and the ending of diversity, equity and inclusion – he’s actually reminded me of a President who did all of those things only a lot longer ago. Ronald Reagan was the man they said could never be President.
Keir Starmer is woefully unprepared for a world at war
It was a surreal moment. As Syria was literally being reborn in the wake of its weekend revolution and the disappearance of the hated Assad regime, there was only one question that anyone in the West needed an answer to. Should we support the rebels? Should we delight in the removal of one of the world’s most brutal tyrants? Could we see a way forward with a new Jihadi leadership at the helm of one of the Middle East’s most strategically important nations? Such important questions.
The SNP dream of independence has passed with Salmond
As a metaphor it couldn’t have been more stark. The memorial for Alex Salmond, the former First Minister of Scotland, was a reminder of everything that the land of my fathers has lost in the past 10 years. As the sun shone down from a clear blue late autumn sky on Saturday the air was filled with the sound of bagpipes, of enthusiasm and even – dare I say it – of hope.
Britain is falling apart - but Keir Starmer is nowhere to be seen
It’s getting increasingly difficult to imagine a man more out of his depth, more tone deaf and more downright away with the fairies when it comes to the business of running Britain. This week it was clearer than ever that Sir Keir Starmer doesn’t have a clue how the people of this country feel, what their priorities are and why so many of them have turned on him after less than five months in office.
Episode 298: Grey Cup Blues
On this edition, Mike and Josh discuss the recently released list of pending Tiger-Cat free agents and who they would like to see stay and who they wouldn't mind to see go, the chances that either Bo Levi Mitchell or Shemar Bridges leaves awards night with some hardware and what they think will happen in the 111th Grey Cup on Sunday.
Miliband’s Green Delusion: UK Energy Plans Drown In Rising Costs And Voter Backlash
It’s hard to know when it happened exactly. Counting back the years to when we worried about aerosol cans and then global warming, it’s almost impossible to see where we flipped. [emphasis, links added] Just when did we go from relatively sensible concerns about polar bears on the ice floes of the Arctic and the adult responsibility of polluting the planet less and conserving it more to a kind of blind panic about something of which we know very little?

Episode 296: A Farewell to the 2024 Hamilton Tiger-Cats
On this edition, Mike and Josh get back together to discuss the symbolic end to the Tiger-Cats' 2024 season, why a certain CFL colloquialism should be buried forever and the Ticats' award winners and how they could fare both divisionally and league wide. They also co-opt one of Josh's old bits from his days writing about the CFL and rank the six CFL playoff team on their likability.
Episode 295: Sweep of the Creep
On this edition, Mike and Josh discuss the Tiger-Cats sweeping the season series against the Argos with their nail-biting 33-31 win last Friday, Jamal Peters signing an extension and Peters' college teammate Cam Dantzler joining the black and gold. They also look at the best, worst and most likely scenarios for the Ticats and Argonauts over the final five weeks and whether they think the Tabbies have a real shot to make the postseason.
Episode 294: Down With the Rouge
On this edition, Mike and Josh answer listener questions, explain which NFL rules they would like to see adopted by the CFL, scratch their heads about fans complaining about the CFL on CTV and preview Friday night's massive matchup between the Tiger-Cats and Argonauts.
Episode 293: So You're Saying There's a Chance?
On this edition, Mike and Josh discuss Hamilton's 37-21 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks.
Episode 292: Misery Takes a Holiday
On this edition, Mike and Josh are back together after nearly a month away to talk about the future of the show as well as Hamilton's win in the Labour Day Classic and what they expect out of the Tiger-Cats the rest of the season.
Labour’s Brexit betrayal will lose them the next election
Mike Graham August 29, 2024 at 9:06 AM·3 min read It’s almost as though the Prime Minister is the only one that doesn’t get it. He’s the only man in the room who doesn’t realise that people are leaving, rolling their eyes, chatting amongst themselves and shaking their heads in disbelief. The new Labour government has not even been in power for two months, and already the wheels are coming off the beleaguered state machine.
Episode 290: The Benching of Bo Levi Mitchell By the Coward Scott Milanovich
On this edition, Josh rides solo to discuss Scott Milanovich's decision to bench Bo Levi Mitchell and the last 58 years of mediocrity that is the Hamilton Tiger-Cats football club.
Episode 289: Edge of Despair
On this edition, Mike and Josh relive Friday's loss to the Alouettes, what went right and what went wrong, why one of them thinks the command centre got a controversial call right and what they believe the Tiger-Cats need to do in order to avoid a similar fate in the rematch on Saturday.
Starmer’s honeymoon period was over before it began
Mike Graham August 2, 2024 at 6:11 AM·3 min read This week has been a real education for Sir Keir Starmer. And a proper reality check for the country as a whole. The Prime Minister presumably started it thinking that, after three weeks in power, things were going reasonably well. Angela Rayner had been successfully pushed into the background and this week was to be her chance to shine with her announcements on housing.
Episode 288: M-Bo-P
On this edition, Mike and Josh recap Hamilton's thrashing of the Edmonton Elks and look ahead to Friday's big divisional matchup with the 6-1 Montreal Alouettes.
In the NHS blame game, it’s now the patients who are at fault
It was the resignation in his voice that told the story. And it was an all too familiar one. Another caller to my TV show this week was explaining woeful NHS experience – but this time it was much worse than usual. The 56 year old man from Caerphilly was explaining how he had been waiting for knee replacement surgery for a while. When I asked him how long, even I was shocked by the answer. “14 years,” he said, without a trace of surprise in his voice.

Fredericktown FFA students attend State Farm Bureau Leadership Day
No longer is it possible for agriculturalists to assume the general public understands how important this sector of the American economy is to our way of life. Because of this, it is necessary to continue to educate people on where their food comes from and how few people it takes to actually feed the world. April 12, four members of the Fredericktown FFA Chapter attended the Farm Bureau Youth in Ag. Leadership day in Jefferson City.
