Derringer In The Morning

Johnny Garbutt is a little bit of a defeated man right now, getting about three hours of sleep a night, feeling like he’s carrying a weight on his shoulders in anticipation of the arrival of his first child. Derringer and Ryan are getting a little bummed out seeing how tired and worn out Garbutt has been looking, so on this episode they wanted to pass along some fatherly advice to help him get through the beginning stages of ‘dad life.’ First piece of advice: avoid being in a strip club when the text comes from your wife saying her water broke… The Daily Derringer Podcast -- Thursday November 15th, 2018 Check out more full episodes at Q107.com

We were on the road today broadcasting live from the Princess Margaret Lottery grand prize showhome in Oakville, valued at $6 million. At last year’s live broadcast, we put out a poll asking what’s the one thing you’d love to have in your dream home? The overwhelming popular vote was for a bowling alley. So this year’s home had a bowling alley installed in the basement – since we were playing bowling in between breaks all morning and talking sports, on this episode of the podcast we created a fictional hall of fame for those who have been great in sporting movies and TV shows and then proceeded to debate a list of potential inductees: Big Ern McCracken & Roy Munson, Apollo Creed, Ricky Bobby, Ray Finkle… who will make our Great Figures in Sports Movies Hall of Fame?

Very rarely is there great surprise when someone at the age of 95 passes away. And rarely is there such an outpouring of love and admiration towards someone who lives such a full life. Stan Lee is an exception. There’s a visceral feeling for so many that Stan Lee was able to access a certain part of the human psyche through his work that few others were able to do. His super hero creations we’re flawed like each one of us and through those flaws, inspired us to strive for greatness in our own lives, despite the challenges we face. R.I.P. Stan Lee.

Even though we tend to believe now that the stigma is gone around online dating, according to friends of Derringer that run online dating services, people are still very uncomfortable admitting they met their partner online. When a new relationship goes into a social situation, people inevitably ask, “How did you meet?” and many who met online are not comfortable revealing that information. -- Facebook just launched a new dating platform in Canada. The social media giant has a full-functioning dating app within its platform, allowing single or curious Facebook users to browse through profiles and even connect with friends of friends. We’re not sure if we’d want to give Facebook any more of our personal information after their few latest breaches, but stigma or no stigma, breaches and all, there are a lot of people online dating. Having affairs too – Ryan has some crazy statistics on people who have affairs because of “old friends” on Facebook. The Daily Derringer Podcast -- Thursday November 8th, 2018 Check

Many Ontarians are displeased with the Ontario Cannabis Store after placing their day one orders for pot and it still not being delivered a full week later. Some are even calling it a conspiracy that Canada Post happens to be walking off the job at this most “lit” time. Think about any other retail service -- we’re constantly looking for convenience and more than a week delay on your purchase order would mean you’re no longer a customer at that business. How many people will cancel their pot order? How many people excited to try a little marijuana said forget it, it’s not worth it.

Enough time has passed now for us to resurrect the game and play a little ‘Dead or Alive’ again. The Daily Derringer Podcast -- Monday October 22nd, 2018 Check out more full episdoes at Q107.com
