Recorded live at Buffalo Wild Wings Grandview during CannonFest 2012, the boys load up the interview cannon with spread shot and swing for the fences! (I know, awesome analogy) We blew off an interview with a very attractive lady from Fox Sports Ohio to talk to Deryck Castonguay (the man behind the amazing Air Force CBJ flag photo), John Kemp and Morgan Ward, Greg May, Tom Felrath (the one and only Dark Blue Jacket), Matt Wagner, Alison Lukan, Tom Larrow (The man behind the exclusive and magnificent CannonFest videos every year), and CannonFest/Central Division Tweet Up Master of Ceremonies Rick Gethin.

Holy shit, that was a lot of names.

I’m not gonna lie, I’m now very pumped for the season.  Win, Lose or Shootout Loss, LET’S GO JACKETS!

From the center of a school of lesbian soccer fans, we talk to Brian Klein from the Arch City Army and Julie Maurer, travel enthusiast and President of The Jacket Backers, you couldn’t ask for a better line up.

By the way, if you like our show and like what we do, let us know and encourage us to continue by Liking our Facebook page & leaving us good comments on iTunes.  Another episode to come in about a month.  Continue having a (insert adjective here) summer everyone!

ps. John Kemp, you’ll never understand how much editing this episode took.

Chuck, Will & Joe take on hot buttered CBJ  topics as well as a few equally buttered up special guests.  Alison L, John T Kemp and Greg May drop the parm-garlic, boneless wing covered table to discuss the removal of Todd Richards’ interim tumor, the always enigmatic Steve Mason dilemma, Team USA’s victories as of late under the leadership of none other than Sir Jack Johnson himself, and they answer the tough question, Who Will Wear The Captain’s C Next Season!  Plus, a special message from Sarah Mclachlan.

All this and more from God’s lips to your earbuds, on the finale episode of…

The Cannon Report!!!

And they talk about some other stuff, including listening in on Howson’s, Dorsett’s and everybody’s favorite player right now, Jack Johnson’s post-season interviews.  I don’t know what else they talk about, I didn’t listen, I don’t really care for the show…

But you might!!!

The end of the season is near and the wear and tear on us fans is obvious.  We discuss the upcoming realignment, the playoffs, our summer time podcast endeavors, and we call Joe.  Also, we present a new installment of Grandpa Hockey and finish it all up with a very special outtake from fellow Cannon Reporter, Chris.

This season was dirty but we all trust Howson to clean it up in the summer sun…

And what’s more, they actually talk about hockey!  Joe recaps the Oiler’s return to Nationwide Arena (much to the detriment of the Jackets and their fans).  They discuss the immense difference in stats between the CBJ and their division rivals.  Chris, once again, fights facts with opinion about where a team is located.  Chuck also talks about his recent move, the boys talk about the cuts made to last week’s episode, where the Real Question Is theme came from, how Joe actually created Robot Chicken, their love of From Dusk Til Dawn and once again invoke the power of Twisted Sister!

Drink, be merry, and find a team to root for in the playoffs!

Somehow the guys manage to offend almost every group of people including retarded people, asian girls, black people, gay people, women and whatever the hell Kyle Rayburn is.  They also dive deep into Steve Mason’s psyche, Jeff Carter being fat and tales of the night that ended at the gay bar! All this and more, recorded live at The Jug Bar and Grill in Historic Delaware Ohio.

Warning: This episode involves words.

As the Jackets battle their way to Mason’s first shutout of the season in the background, Joe, Chuck and Chris keep the hockey talk pretty minimal with the lackluster trade deadline, but do talk a bit about Howson and Rick Nash and the lack of leadership on the CBJ team.  They also talk bout Joe’s constant abuse of his child, how Rayburn is tired of all the charities, Chris’ empathy for the homeless, Chuck’s upcoming move (which, by the way, IS to Cuyahoga Falls), the possibilities of ‘Berger’s Burgers, everyone makes fun of Chuck’s shirt, and the One Last Shot Stop: Club 20!

Epilogue, we DID end up at Club 20 that night.

Unable to watch the CBJ destroy the Sharks on television, the boys put on the Detroit vs Chicago game in the background and get to the bottom of the CBJ stats, Highlander the Series, The Crow: Stairway to Heaven, Journey 2 and Papa John’s 1st year of CBJ support.  They ask the tough questions, like Where do the CBJ go from here? and Is Nash still an elite player?.  Chuck pulls out his Obama impression and Adrian (unpaid engineer extraordinaire) hits a home run out of the park!

If you like new drops, Facebook & a show that starts with the word Masturbate, then this will be your favorite episode ever!

With the CBJ fighting the Dallas Stars (poorly) in the background, the boys of the Cannon talk about Vinny Prospal’s welcome future with the Columbus organization they so love.  They also talk about interviewer extraordinaire Natalie (or as Chris knows her Monkeybone), the bane of Twitter-bots TheNewBlueJackets, and Jeff Carter and exactly how he fits into the whole thing.  The magic of the Cannon Report’s first star of the week also starts paying some dividends!

The guys talk about the hottest news of the day, the Occupy Nationwide Protest, Jeff Carter’s (probable) eminent trade, the 2013 All-Star game coming to Nationwide Arena and Chuck supplements his ailing voice by taking control of the drops!

If you agree with this episode, show us your spirit fingers!

The fellas discuss being Jewish and not being Jewish, the latest Blue jacket’s game against Detroit and just how much better the CBJ have become, which is to say, just good enough to lose in a shootout, Chris’ contempt for Jeff Carter, Arniel’s apparent depression, some retard on Facebook, imagine an interview with Nail Yakupov in a Jacket’s sweater, Howson’s latest blog, and even more of Chris’ contempt for modern technology.

Chuck, Joe & Chris discuss the finer things in life like Arniel being relieved of his duties as head coach, who our fans would trade off, just how bad ass The Big Lebowski is, the injury list & take a look into the Jacket’s possible future with a certain Russian top prospect.  Pretty sure ball farts get a mention, too.

They discuss the CBJ breaking single digits in the W column, who they would axe first in #NukeforNail, introduce a Dark Blue Drop, Joe making the Kiss Cam and Arniel “lashing out” at the latest post-game interview.

This episode is brought to you by The Panther’s Stripes only on WFST: the Fist.

There are laughs galore as the gents talk of Mason’s return, the CBJ’s failure to maintain leads, middle school reading material, Chris’ drunken habits and a new suspension dished out by none other than the NHL’s own holiday curmudgeon, Brendan Shanahan.

Chuck, Joe and Chris bring in a few guests to talk to, Brian from The Arch City Army, Dark Blue Jacket and Greg May to talk about the upcoming realignment, the hiring of Olympic Gold Medalist coach and hockey savant Craig Patrick and they tell tales of Steve Herman, the 74 year old E League Dynamo!

Too much awesome to fit in an hour so prepare yourself for the longest episode yet and the highest energy ever captured by The Cannon Report’s mics!

The Jacket’s are winning so the guys spend most of the episode talking about the loss to St. Louis.  They also discuss the positives (yeah, there are actual positives) of the Jacket’s season thus far, Chuck unveils his plan for a gay bar, Sydney Crosby’s return to the ice gets brought up, Chris teaches us about the finer points of text humor & we dip into the Cannon Report Archives for a vintage recording from Grandpa Hockey!

They also discuss Chris’ abnormal distrust of technology, the CBJs top spot amongst Fight Minutes, Lucic’s hit on Miller, Jared Boll’s future and the lonely, sad story of Steve Mason (again).  There are some penis jokes thrown in there too so SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
