 Hey Aloha, how are you doing today? Welcome to Hibachi Talk. My name is Andrew, this is Andrew, the security guy and unfortunately we do not have a Gordo the Texar here today but he will be with us in a moment. I'll show you why. We've got a couple of our international fans with us as well. They're gonna be on the show today and we're gonna be talking a little bit about UH football, UH in Michigan. We're gonna be bringing these guys in live from Michigan by Miracle of Skype, which I'm sure many of you've used and many of you played with and so and I think we're even gonna have possibly Angus. So let's see what we got. Where's my crew? Okay are we gonna get a zoom shot? Hey guys, how you doing out there? So there's the Texar. How are you doing Gordo? How's it to be on another another time zone about 15 hours away from your one last weekend? I know I have no idea now where I am and what I'm doing and then I run into these two international. Is it what was that from the beer or just from the traveling? So give us give us go ahead and give us some introductions to our I know you guys are tuned into quite a few of our shows. That's true. You see them all the time. So you got Ivor McFork lived here. Nice Ivor welcome. Welcome to Hibachi Talk. Glad to have you. I had to be here. And then we got Hamish McGullible. He was one of our first all-time viewers. Right on. Hamish, how are you today, sir? How you doing? Right, man. Very well. Glad to have you on Hibachi Talk. What's who's lurking in the background there? What's the deal with that? Lurk in the back. No, that's that's number four. Okay, so you're the three musketeers and that's number four. And that's number four because it was like one Gordon Ivor Hamish and then the parents had another one that couldn't think of any other names. Well, four is good. Oh, okay. Another brother from the same mother. Yeah, he's kind of like the half brother. All right, fair enough. He's the brother we didn't want to have. So you guys so you guys joined up. So now did you take a lot of a lot of other family up for the game or what's the deal? They all drove down. I'll let them tell you how they got here. How'd you get here? We drove down from good old T.O. Where's T.O? They don't know what T.O is. T.O. in Toronto. We drove down from Toronto in Canada. Okay, picked up picked up number Hamish here, grabbed number four, hooked up, drove down some big highway, lost some big border. And our better has got stopped on the border. And we got through but the ladies got stopped. I don't know why but they got pulled over. But that was a great trip down here. Nice. How long how long of a drive was it? Four and a half hours. Wow. Okay. And so so you guys are living in Toronto. Did all of you grow up in Toronto? Well, he never ever grew up. But yeah, I guess So did y'all grow older in Toronto? Maybe I should have asked. We hung out together for a number of years before we all got kicked out of the house. Yeah. Age of majority, you're a gun. Okay, did you get it? Which one's the oldest? How would I know? I'm asking you, what do you think? Who do you think the oldest? Number four. I used to like you. By virtue of being number four, he's probably fourth. Is that right? Good. So let's go with Hamish. Hey, oh, I'm the only non-senior in the group. I just thought we'd bring that up. The other two guys are already on retirement money out. Retired, retired, retired, 18 years, retired. Nice. And I'm trying to be retired. He's still ain't working. So that's how you get to take all these big trips. So were you guys always big football fans? Let's talk about football a little bit. Always football fans. Growing up, who was your, what were the teams growing up up there? Because you guys were in Northern Canada or were you near Toronto or I don't even know? Did they have, when did they have Canadian football? When did that start? Yeah, we got the CFL. Yeah. Not the same as the NFL, probably not as big or different letters that we use up here. When did it start? Like in the 70s or the 50s or Yeah, it's been around a lot of time. How long? Yes, we're older than the NFL. 1901. Seriously? Okay. So you guys have been followed, so you guys have been big football fans for a while. Do you follow UH football? Typically? We do. NFL is bigger than CFL even in Canada. Is that right? Yeah. What about the University of Hawaii? Are they big up there? Oh, really big. And now we're circle anyway. Yeah, in this group they're huge. Yeah, so you did and I didn't recall you guys, did you guys make a trip to the Ohio game last year as well? We did. I didn't, I couldn't make it last year, but yeah, we're there. So you guys are pretty big fans then. I like that. So I know you're fans of football. What about fans of Hibachi talk? We got a tweet come in here. How many episodes of Hibachi talk have you guys seen? 83. That's more than I've seen. Everyone except for this one. I don't know whether I'll watch this one. What about the Ohio game last year? How was that for you guys to make that trip and watch UH out there? Did Corey play? I don't remember if Corey was out on the field or not. Yeah, Corey played. Sure did. He played well too. Yeah, he's gonna be a big part of the game tomorrow as well as he was last week. So that's good. That's good. You guys are up there supporting like that. I think it's just, I think it's powerful for the players and powerful for the team. Yeah, we ran into this morning at breakfast. We ran into a bunch of people from Hawaii who are here for the game. They actually came in from, actually the ones I met today were staying at our hotel with the Australia game. Really? Okay, that's awesome. They've made the journey as well. Nice. And were they also lost? Yeah, they're also lost. So how often do you guys get to get together? Not as often as we would like, Andrew, but you know, for the seven years. Now with the football it's been last year and this year which has been great. Yeah, because I met you guys. I remember for Gordo's, what, 60th? Oh, yeah. Right? That was nine years ago. And that was 20 years ago? How long ago was it? Seven years ago, not nine years ago. Oh, metric. We had to convert it to Canadian. Metric numbers. Well, I'm thinking with Corey playing they may have to come out for a home game, you know? Oh, yeah. It has to be this year because this is Corey's last year. That's what I was thinking. You know, they're going to get cold enough up there soon enough, right? What is it you want, Barb? Probably next week. Someone's coming in the room trying to be quiet. Barb, what do you want? Carving board. She needs a carving board. Can you get Barb a car? Sandwiches for tomorrow's. We're making lunch for tomorrow's tailgate. All right. Good. Andy? That's Andy. Hi, Andy. What are you guys going to, you going to take it to the game with you? Yeah. What are you making? The ladies do that. We just eat. We just eat. Oh, so you're not picky. Eaters. We got your basic ham and cheese. Peanut butter. We got your basic Canadian peanut butter and J. All the good stuff. That's how they tailgate up there? Yeah. No, we don't tailgate up a Canada because not allowed. You're not allowed to have fun in Canada. Come on. It's Canada, polite. We don't party. All right. All right. So, so, so you guys are going to go. How early will you go head over there? Are you far away from the stadium? Let me ask you that. A half hour. Oh, okay. Yeah. But we have to be there at six in the morning. Six in the morning. Oh, I'm sorry. What time is the game? Noon. Noon. Noon, our time, which is going to be six in the morning, your time. So, why are you going at six a.m.? Because to get parking, you've got to get, they start early at the University of Michigan, apparently. I see. And so are the liquor stores open then? Or are you going to get to stock up tonight? Pretty covered, Andrew. Already covered. I see. All right. Well, I'm glad you got your priorities straight. I'm glad, I'm glad you guys are thinking about all those things in advance. Yeah, we've got the water and the pop. Everything's good. Pop. Yeah, water and pop. A soda, sorry. It's soda. Is it a garage or a garage? It's a garage. So, let me get it right. Okay, it's a garage. So, whose idea was it for all you guys to get together at this game? My idea. It was Hamish's idea. And did you plan it since last year, since the Ohio game? Was that the, was that the motivation or was it just Gordo was going to be close enough, you could get your arms around his neck, so you thought you might as well come on down? We had a text message going, you're going, you're not going. How many? Okay, that's it. So, I went from, from this, we got 14 people. Wow. So, who makes all the, are y'all in the same room then? Oh, right now. But we ain't going to keep it that way. We're close, but we're not that close. We spent 18 years in the same room, man. Is that right? You guys had, what, two bunk beds or you just all slept in one bed? Oh, no. One set of bunk beds and Gord was in... A princess bed. I didn't say that loud enough. Nice. No, I didn't say that loud enough. Yeah, he had a lovely princess bed. Yeah, beautiful white bed. 18 years in the same bedroom. It was fabulous. Right on. That's a, that's a good way to grow up though. I mean, that's the way most people in that generation did it anyway, right? You didn't have a, it wasn't a room for every kid and all that nonsense. I slept with three other brothers, so... You did? Yeah, we had 12 kids. We didn't know we had these other brothers. Yeah, I know. Was one of them, they suddenly? Your family's growing before your very eyes. I grew up on the East Coast, so they have big family back there. Nice. All right. Well, we're going to tell you what we're going to do. We're going to take a quick break and we're going to pay a few bills. And it only takes about a minute, so if you need a beer or something, get it now. And then we'll be back shortly. And I'll go get Angus because I need a break. I've had enough of these guys. Thanks, brother. Hi, I'm Donna Blanchard. I'm the host of Center Stage, which is on Wednesdays at 2 o'clock here on ThinkTech. On Center Stage, I talk with artists about not only what they do and how they do it, but the meat of the conversation for me is why they do it, why we go through this. A lot of us are not making our livings doing this. And a lot of us would do this with our last dying breath if we had that choice. And that's what I love to talk to people about. I hope you enjoy watching it. And I hope you get inspired because there's an artist inside G2. Join us on Center Stage at 2 o'clock on Wednesdays. Bye. Hello, and I'm Patrick Bratton. Please join me for Global Connections every Thursday at 1 p.m. Where we talk with a variety of guests about various international issues, historical issues, both here in Hawaii and abroad, range from security, human rights, ethics, and all sorts of other things. So please join me. I look forward to talking with you and seeing some of my guests. Oh, ha! Big juggle! University of Hawaii football team under Rolovitch is going to kick butt this season. In case you didn't understand me, University of Hawaii football team is going to kick butt under Rolovitch this season. So be sure to follow us on Think Tech Hawaii and Hibachi Top. I'll be at every game. And remember, aloo, ha! We're back. Hey, everybody. Thanks for coming back to Hibachi Talk. I'm Andrew, the security guy. We're talking with Hamish McGullible, Ivor Rick Forklift, and of course, your host who's normally in the studio, the techs are Gordon Bruce. They're all up in Michigan. Getting ready for the UH game tomorrow. We've got him skiked in today. And I think we might get an Angus appearance in this episode. Yes, there he is. A company Angus. How you doing, buddy? Hey, good to see you, man. I miss you. Yeah, you haven't been in your seat for weeks over here. It's been a long, it's been a long time, lad. We got to get together one day when I find my way back. Yeah, are you keeping them guys straight or they keeping you straight? Because I know how you are when you travel. You're a lot of trouble. It's eating all the time. They just stay in the bag? I'm missing that bag, too, because I don't have any, there's no studio gear here. You know, you took everything with you. For lunch and dinner, too. When you get the family together, you've got to celebrate a little bit. So that's a good thing. Yeah, we've got a few, we trust a few. You've got to get the few like that. I'm going to ask them a football question. Take the ball, I'll be calling it in Scotland. Wait, I'm going to change it. What's lug? Do you know what lug is there, lads? Yes. Okay, what's a lug? Just skating the lug growing up. Is that a real football question? Anyway, I've got a question for you, Iber. I've got a good question for you. You ready? I'm ready. What's the difference between American football and Canadian football? All right, Angus, I think what I'm going to do, I'm going to divert that question. Divert it. The connoisseur of the CFL Canadian Football League, Amish. Amish, okay, Amish. What's the difference between American football and Canadian football? Canadians have bigger balls. Okay, there you go. And isn't the field size even different? Fields bigger? Tom Brady would have a field day up here. Bigger balls, bigger field. What else? Same number of men? More men. One more. One more, we have 12, right? Yeah. One more man. What position? What position? What, like another receiver? Another lineman. Oh, okay. I think I got silly goose. What about, what about like the rules of play? Its downs are the same, distances, all that stuff? We only have three downs. They've got 10 yards. We don't get that extra try. A little more of a passing game then. Pretty well, yeah. Second downs to throw all the time. I see, I see. They only get three downs because they can't add up the fork. They get lost. How do you think we added up the fork? I would never be able to figure this game out. I'm sorry, what, so what do you prefer to watch? It's, you know, because the passing game is exciting to watch. So what do you, you know, when you, if you're coming out watching an American college football or, you know, NFL football or Canadian football, do they have a college league up there as well? Uh, it's, yeah, we do a university more than college. Universal, but do they play about Canadian rules then? Canadian rules, yeah. I see, okay, huh, interesting. Well, which do you prefer to watch? NFL. But why is it just because of the speed of the game, or what do you, what do you think? Well, it's more exciting most of the time. I mean, after two tries and you're punting, right? Oh, yeah. So a lot of Canadian footballers, they don't, they don't actually advance the ball that often. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of punting involved. I see, interesting. But we don't have the five-year, we have a five-yard rule, no fair catch. Explain that. When they catch the ball on a punt. Yeah, you have to get them five yards. After they're, you're, you have to keep five yards, wait for them until they catch it, and then you can kill them. Hit them. That's the five yards. Oh, hit them, yes. Five yards, wow. Okay, that's interesting. So if they catch it, you time it, so you're only about five yards away, and then you just play a severe beaten on them. So there's never like a fair catch, because, because there's no reason for it. I see. If they don't have fair catch, there's no fair catch. Oh, so, oh, so you need, you must catch it and run, because you're going to get hit one way or the other. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I see. Okay, that's interesting. But you, but you, They didn't allow them to have hockey sticks on the, on the field. That was one thing they took that out of there. Is, uh, so when you watch, but, so just compared to pro, is it the same length of time the game? Yeah, yeah. Four quarters. Yeah, four quarters. And so what do you, so do you think American football, because when I watch American football to me, it's just like down, down, down commercial. Like I just get sick of all the commercials. So do you watch them live or do you tend to watch recordings or how do you handle that? It seems to really slow the game down for me. We watch it live. Yeah. Usually on a Sunday. Is there, is there as much commercial, you know, do they make a lot of revenue off of it? Of Canadian football? I mean, are they, the fan bases are large and... Not quite as large as, no. We're strut, it's a struggling league. Yeah. Oh really? So what would be a typical attendance at a game if you were to go to the game? Western Canada, they will sell out the building and it's about 45 to 50,000. Wow. Well, that's not bad. Toronto, I'd be lucky to get 15,000 in. Oh. And so tomorrow, how many will be at the Michigan game for UH tomorrow? Well, how many will be at the Michigan game total tomorrow? Is that, I think that stadium holds 90 something thousand, yeah? No, it's 108. 108,000. Well, it'll be, it'll be stacked to the roof. Yeah. Yeah. How big was, how big was Ohio State last year when you guys were there? How big is that stadium? I was over 100. I think it's 103. Yeah, I think it was 105, I think. Yeah. Do you guys, do you guys ever go to any of the live games? In Canada? Oh, yeah. It's a little chilly in Canada. It's like Cleveland. If you want to go to a football game in order. Okay. Also, there's no indoor stadiums. No. Well, they did have one Skydome where Toronto Argos played, but now they don't play there. They play in BMO field now. Outdoors. Outdoors. Just to make it even with everybody else, was it unfair advantage to play indoors? They only play until, what, November. Yeah. But what does that good question there like? When did they move them out of the stadium because they spent all that money building it? It's a baseball stadium. It's not a football stadium. But it was built for both? No. Yes, it was. It was. It was. It was. It was. No, you got hit by a forwarder. I think they figured they could get more people outdoors. I see. Yeah. Yeah, give them a kick in the leg. Just to share that they changed it to outdoors from the Skydome. Yeah. They're trying to bring back the old flavor of the football. Yeah. Interesting. I had an idea it was such an old sport here. That's really good. I'm glad you guys are going down there to support UH, though. That's amazing. Oh, yeah. Did you watch the game, the UH game last week on ESPN? Was it on, I guess, what time was that for you guys? I guess it would have been later in the evening. 10 o'clock in the evening. Oh, so you were already in bed? Well, they're 13 hours. Hamish was probably in bed. Yeah, he goes to like, he's probably in bed at 8.30, his age. You're in bed at 6 after the discount, senior dinner and meal. They have the 2 o'clock senior dinner meal and then they go to bed. You're both staying there. Oh, yeah, that's right. You're in the old folks' home. But seizure world. Let me call that name of it. Seizure world. That's right. I remember that. They stuck that at seizure world. I remember the Toga parties at the seizure world at the old folks' home. He didn't drive enough Toga parties every Saturday. All right, well, have you seen Michigan? Did you have to watch them yet this year? No, not this year. Okay, well, it's time for some predictions. Let's start with number four. Number four, give us, what do you think the final score might be? Guys, only a 30-minute show, so you gotta turn it up. 42 to 23? Yeah. Well, we beat the sprint with that one for Michigan. Yeah, I figured that. What did he say? 42 to 23 for Michigan. 42, 23 for Michigan. Hamish, what do you think? 63, 17. 63 for who? Michigan. For Michigan? Okay. I'm not gonna let you guys do any parties anymore, ever. That's it. You're up. Ivor, what do you think, what kind of game we're looking at? I think Hawaii. And I got on my go right on it, and we'll beat the sprig. Okay, very well, very well. What is it right now? 40, 40. 40? It's about 40, I think, but... I think they will beat that. Yeah, they're gonna beat the sprig. Yeah, I think they will. And Angus, did you have a prediction for us? I sure do, their lad. In 1955, the University of Hawaii beat Nebraska. In Nebraska. They were not raked, but Nebraska was ranked number one. Get ready, history's gonna repeat itself. Final score, University of Hawaii 21, and Michigan 17. It's gonna be the upsaided, essentially. That's right, it's definitely a nice early season upset, so that's a pretty bold pick from you. So obviously, next week on the episode, when Gordo's back, we're gonna be reviewing your all picks. We're gonna be rating your picks on the real outcome of the game. And maybe we'll have... Maybe you can text us your winnings or losings, you know, based on your prediction capabilities. And then if any of you is any good at all, maybe we'll let you do that as the season progresses. And we'll kind of plot your bedding lines against the... Because they haven't been the newspaper here, and you know, obviously the sportscasters and all the bedding houses right in Vegas always have their lines. So we'll see how you guys do. There we go. Hey, think about it. Through we can have the Vegas Lime and the Hibachi Talk Lime. The Hibachi Line, yeah. That's one I can't really advise, but you know, it's worth a try. So do you start your hibachi with the newspaper or do you use lighter fluids? I use coal. I'm from Kentucky. I get these cold and I heat them up, and I heat them up and I heat them up and they're ready to go. In the oven, I do add a little fire, but they just ignite. They almost spontaneously combust. I think that's a good question. Thank you. You know, you know, you know... It's like a Hibachi bomb almost, the way I do it. I wouldn't raise right. So do you guys have any final words? Yeah, give us some words of wisdom. Yeah, final words of wisdom. Yeah, words of wisdom. Words of wisdom. Okay, that's enough. Yeah, you're done. That's it, that's it. Yeah, there you go. I am the spark. You are the spark? Yeah, heaven permitted. Well, it's been a pleasure. It's been a pleasure having you gentlemen. I really appreciate your support of UH. I really appreciate your support of Hibachi Talk. Thanks for spending some of your vacation time on the show with us today, and I really hope you enjoy the game tomorrow. And I hope Angus... And remember what we say at the end of every show. Yeah, I hope Angus is right about the final score. A? A? See you guys, aloha.
