A good episode idea would be detailing the time that John Scott, a hockey enforcer who exists solely to protect the stars and fight with little to no offensive abilities was fan voted into the NHL All-Star Game. Detailing how the NHL tried numerous methods to shut it down and him winning All Star MVP would be a fantastic episode.
The craziest part is that he was one of the most hated goons in the league before all of this. Effective but hated, which is why the internet thought it would be funny to mockingly vote him in. I actually expected him to be pissed the fans were mocking him. Then when the league tried to mess with him, the fans and players rallied behind him.
A few years ago, Michigan students did a similar thing with their hockey team. Girls would get on Tinder to see if any of the opposing team that had come to town would show up and they then would print out huge copies of their Tinder profile to hold up at the game. Some even found that player's parents since the student section surrounds the opposing parent section and take pictures with both the player's profile and their parents
Hey off topic. I read your article about the California situation. I felt that. I wish you guys the best. You put so much effort into the SB brand and give so much insight into memories that so many people over looked. Wish the BEST. Keep it up ☝🙏🙏
Similar thing happened at Pitt a few years ago. The team we were up against in basketball had a player who was really afraid of squirrels. So the student cheering section printed out pictures of squirrels and the players name and one guy wore a full squirrel costume. I have no idea where one finds a squirrel costume.
That's why I never trust girls who always post pictures from same angle.. when you're hiding behind makeup, filters and angles, something is not right :/
Gabe and Jordan Farmar were actually BFFs when this happened - surprised Jordan didn't tip him off! This brings back memories I was at UCLA at this time
After the team losing as much as it has I'll spearhead the defilement of the pOSU just to get a damn win for once lol. Just gotta find some toothless trailer park "beauties pictures and set this plan in motion!
It's weird that these people who grew up on AIM or MSN actually put their phone number on the internet. As my group moved to Facebook half of us were freaked out people put their real name out there. They say there was less privacy back then and it isn't true, but it was all up to you what information appeared on the net. These days you've got more information automatically collected by phone apps than you could have thought about posting online in 2006.
You sound unreasonably paranoid. 99.99999999999% of internet users won’t have anything bad ever happen to them due to anyone they met on the internet. The chances you’re in that other .000000000001% is minuscule. You should seek therapy for your apparent crippling anxiety.
Ahhhhh yess, the days when we used to call it "stalkbook" and would actually think twice when the hottest girls we'd ever seen friended us out of nowhere to give us toxic links to 'nudz'
You'd think it would be the opposite and people would fall for Catfishes easier. Maybe it's just that there's more catfishing now that more people use the internet.
People of a certain age remember falling for something silly here and there on AIM, but anyone messaging you out of the blue named "SexyBruinBabe" should raise major red flags, but is also something no college male can resist.
Tbh 2006 I was more skeptical of the idea of people meeting online than I am now. Social media was pretty new and online dating was still seen as what weird people who don't have friends do. Now the idea of DMing random people is pretty normalized and we have apps like tinder that are massively popular.
Clara you went to UMD at the same time as I did. Both basketball and soccer fans at UMD routinely used the internet to mess with opposing players. Specifically UNC Duke and UVA
Go Bears! That Cal team, led by consensus second-team All-American and soon-to-be-drafted Leon Powe, needed a win to make the tournament. They got that win thanks to Gabe Pruitt and Victoria.
That AIM sound at the end of the video actually triggered a reflex in me to check the bottom right of my screen to see who logged in/out of AIM... holy crap, lol.
I remember when I was back in college in 2008 when Facebook was only college people I was friends with JJ Hickson and some other Carolina and NC State basketball players and you would just see them posting on there like normal people, guys who were going to be in the NBA next year putting up party pictures. This was before your parents and your aunt and your girlfriend who doesn't go to college didn't even know what Facebook was, so you had a sense of security knowing that it was just your college friends who would look at it and see what you wrote. It was a different time, it was still so much fun though.
Fun fact: Gabe Pruitt has an NBA championship ring; he was drafted by the Celtics and was with them until 2009. Benchwarmer or not, you know dude is saying "Who's laughing now" lol
He actually gave Gabe nba career more respect than it deserves calling him even a medicore player ..that's like a career 10th man for 5 years...he was a scrub
Imagine the opposing fans standing there holding up catfish posters and Gabe is just standing there like “Huh, that’s odd. Now where’s my girl?”
Love the profile pic, love the comment, please be my *SexyBruinBabe*
Teeth
out great song in your profile pic btw
NickLikesCereal Yes babie :,)
Wesley Storlie love that song man. it’s one of my favorites.
My school cant chant "let's go Rams"and the guys are out here chanting a phone number
Tbf they're UC Berkeley students.
Pretty sure he misspoke when he said they chanted his phone number, cause when they started asking about the chant he tried to switch the subject
King Benny Garcia why tf can’t you chant let’s go rams

@@DrEagLeo Yeah I remember when Scott had that altercation with Kessel back when he was on the Leafs and Leafs fans ripped him to pieces online.
For anyone who hasn't heard it, there is already a great episode of Radiolab about John Scott, the episode is called The Punchline

Anyone else read this right as it came up? 😂 only reason I noticed

That's actually a genius idea. Imagine if that happened to someone in the NBA during the finals.
And imagine that dude is married already ...
Imagine something kobe would do then....
Dont imagine something magic would.

You’re an athlete at usc with some of the most beautiful girls in the country and you fall for sexybruinsgirl? He deserved it smh
It's easier for some people to talk to people over text but that's pretty sad
the average college aged kid would fall for this 90 % of the time so i'm not all that surprised, though its pretty embarrassing
Adam G he shouldn’t have taken a pic with the rivals jersey tho that’s just stupid

How are you gonna be afraid of squirrels and living in a place with a neighborhood called “squirrel hill” lmao
Pitt should use that squirrel as a mascot
Wait, so who was Victoria?
that's what I'm saying
she a bear
A girl at the school or like someone cousin sis or gf
Turns out the real Victoria was the friends we made along the way
I feel like... you still not... (as Seth said)

Just hearing that opening door sound gave me a really strange feeling that isn't even nostalgia but some awful panic that I can't explain
Lmao

Philip Geiger i’ve tried but cant find anything
Farmar was like, "sexybruinbabe, you just aren't as hot as the first 5 random girls I see outside my door at UCLA."
The door opening/closing sound is soo good lol
God, I miss that era of the internet. And now I know what our generations "I remember when X was only $1" is gonna be to future kids.
I remember when manipulative social media and targeted advertising based on personal dossiers for every human hadn't yet destroyed our culture
This ep is FANTASTIC.
"We were too dumb to use the internet."
Were?

This is John Mulaney’s bullies from school. Just great organizers
I don’t understand superstar athletes getting catfished... feel like you have to be pretty desperate for that

Reminds me of the Manti Te'o debacle lol
Really wanted to hear about when Will mistook someone online.
0:54 - for the children at home, think Discord DMs and that's basically what AIM was.
Yeah, it wasn’t really like regular DMs. It was a lot more like Discord.
AIM was facebook messenger of the time
MSN Messenger, AIM, MySpace all sum up my teen years straight up lol
in the end... gabe pruitt has a championship ring while the guys who catfished him have not. RINGZ ERNEH
Gabe was in the NBA for 11 seasons and as 1 ring, but he says 2 seasons with the Celtics?
it would have been nice to see a clip of the game at the end "VICTORIA"
Already subscribed Seth.
Lonely childhood
was this game televised anywhere?
That's great, have fun in heaven lol
This video catfished me into thinking there will be Jon Bois in it
The AIM chat sounds brought back memories...
