Welcome to Canadia! Shawn opens the show discussing last night's interview with News 13 and CBC radio out of Canada. Fortunately for C-Lane, who missed all the fun, they saved audio of the CBC interview in which Shawn and Sabrina were rather tipsy, causing Shawn to skew a word or two. Shawn makes the mistake of spending some time talking about the NFL's Deflate-gate fiasco, causing the majority of the day's dispatches to be football-related.
