Pirates Fans Have Started a War With Canada

Ahoy, mateys! And welcome to another episode of Ahoy, matey! I'm Cody Coleman, that's Nate Osler. We're here to talk about what's really important. And Nate, you texted me earlier, and you were like, I got a rant that I just got to let out on the pod. So, I'm going to open, this is how we're going to start the show.

Yep, cold open.

I'm going to open the floor to you. So, have at it.

I got two gripes. And this is a smaller one first. This happened yesterday on my lunch break at work. So, huge props to DiNardo, our fearless leader here at North Shore Nine, for making the app and the great game, the card game, where it's like the team builder game. If you don't have the app, go download it. Hopefully, you get the pack luck that I had, well, opposite of what I had. Because let me explain what happened to me.

So, you get a pack every day. So, you get a pack every day, daily login bonus, with Pirates players, prospects, current guys. You get bronzes, you get silvers. I got my first gold card. So, my team going into yesterday was 1-3. We won the first game. Then I'm on, like, this losing streak.

I got a silver cruise. He's, like, 0-10 since I got him with 10 strikeouts. My Griffin went 0-4 last night with 4 Ks. But let me explain to you the gold player I got.

I was eating my lunch during a hard-working day, eating a mac and cheese cup, okay? I see a gold shimmer around a card. I was like, ooh, wonder what this is. It's a Jared Triolo card. I look at the overall. It's a lower overall than two bronzes in the same pack.

This is a 61 overall Jared Triolo card. And I pulled two 67, 6-7 for the Discord, bronze cards. An Ashcraft and a Mlodzinski. In no world should a gold, quote-unquote, gold card, be worth less than bronzes.

So, fearless North Shore Nine leader, DiNardo, or as they call him in the Discord, Denardi, please fix this. I know he hates us Android users. I hear it all the time. I don't know if this is an inside job on Android users giving us bad gold cards. But, yes, that is my first gripe.

So, I guess, a couple things here. Yeah, if you don't know, we have, like, a team builder game where every day you open a pack, you get cards, and you build your own baseball team of Pittsburgh Pirates.

And each card has the different levels. Gold is obviously the best. Bronze is at the bottom.

Yes.

And, yeah, I just, that doesn't make sense.

You can't see it because of the light. 61!

61 overall Jared Triolo.

Same pack.

67.

To be fair, though, Braxton Ashcraft's gold card should be, what, like an 80, 89, 90?

So, I think this is more of a gripe with, this is a DiNardo gripe with Jared Triolo that is now affecting you.

Yeah, my team's now 1-4.

And, you know what, to be fair, this gold Jared Triolo, he's batting, like, 8th or 9th for me, because he's a lower overall than all my bronzes.

He actually got me a hit yesterday when I lost 1-0 thanks to a Ryan O'Hearn sacrifice fly.

That's how I lost.

1-0.

Very vintage 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates, the 1-0 losses.

And another loss I had the day before I get to the big one, the big gripe, I lost 9-5.

This is a really realistic Jared Jones outing pre-hot streak at the end.

He gave me 10 strikeouts over 5 innings and allowed 5 runs.

That's my first gripe.

Okay.

The card game is unfair for us Android users.

All right.

I think maybe you're right.

I'm going to give you benefit of the doubt.

And I'm the only Android user of the group.

Yes, but I'm sure there's other Android users that use the app because it is available on Android and iOS.

I want to know the numbers.

I would love to know the numbers.

I hope I'm not the only one.

If I was the only one and this was happening to me and me only, ooh, there'd be some problems here against us Android users.

But that's my small gripe.

Let's get to the big one.

So, I was at work today.

So, two work stories.

And I go on Twitter at the end of the day before I'm leaving.

And I see a tweet from MLB Trade Rumors.

And this is not an X's and O's thing.

We're going to stay away from that.

But the tweet is literally just a link.

Blue Jays are interested in Brandon Lowe.

I'm like, oh, here we go.

Every Pirates fan's already tweeting.

Here we go.

So, I just wanted to get in on the fun.

I quote tweeted with a simple, Canada stinks.

Thinking nothing of it.

Just Canada stinks.

Not even a complete sentence.

Two words.

Very low effort.

I'm on my way home.

Well, actually, I pull up to my house.

I open Twitter.

I got a Blue Jays podcast.

Picked this up.

This guy who hosts this corny podcast.

I don't even know what it's called.

It's definitely worse than us.

Because we are the greatest baseball podcast of all time.

North Shore Nine.

This Blue Jays podcast got nothing on us.

And he tweets.

Let me actually find the quote here.

I got to actually pull it up.

Where is this?

He says, guy who lives in known free agent destination, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

And he spawned in.

And I saw one minute ago, 70 likes.

This guy's either a bot or he's just some really famous.

He has 32,4 thousand followers.

And yeah.

So, I go to the.

I'm going to keep going.

He has all these Blue Jays fans liking this tweet.

Hating on me.

And I get.

What do I.

Let me read some of the comments.

I get on my original.

Just Canada stinks tweet.

Not even mean.

Just playful fun.

I get.

Let's see here.

Remember.

Oh, this is what I was reading to you.

I get this guy saying, remember 1979.

I said, yeah, it was fun.

Oh, it's 1993.

Then, let's have some playful times.

Because that's the last time they've won a World Series.

Because, let's be honest, Will Smith and Miguel Rojas ended their career dreams last year.

So, let's keep going on that.

He says, yeah, we won the World Series that year.

I'm like, okay.

Yeah, just like we won in 1979.

Then, some idiot replies, thinking I'm stupid.

He goes, the point they're making in the joke is you haven't seen the Pirates winning a championship.

Canada's dumb.

These guys are soft.

They are soft.

Then, we get.

I get a you stink.

Whatever.

Then, I get this guy.

He's bringing up politics.

I'm not even going to read it.

But, I sent you the tweet.

I posted it in the Discord.

So, if you want to see it, go to the Discord.

Go download that.

But, he was like, yeah.

Well, you guys have this.

Our politics don't.

I'm like, what are we talking about?

This is Brandon Lowe.

We're talking about baseball.

International war.

So, Canada.

I don't have a gripe against Canada.

They do stink, though.

I think their fan base is very soft.

That the fact that just me saying they stink got them all riled up.

I saw Pirates fans say worse.

But, supposedly, me saying Canada stinks got the entire Royal Army of Canada on me.

They got all the French-speaking people on me right now, too.

So, this is a lot of fun.

But, the entire city of Toronto hates good old Nathan.

Young Nathan.

Young Nathan.

I did nothing wrong.

And, you know what, Canada?

They say for me to apologize.

But, guess what?

I ain't doing that.

You guys suck.

You guys canceled game one of the Cleveland trip because of your stupid wildfires that you guys can't control yourselves.

Okay?

They couldn't control it.

We were all in the press box in the Cleveland game.

This was the first ever baseball game I went to, Cody, that had to be postponed.

And, you know whose fault it was?

Canada.

That is their fault.

It's like South Park where they scream, blame Canada.

It's all their fault.

That's why my first baseball game got postponed.

Yeah.

Canada's dumb.

They did give us Sidney Crosby, though.

He's awesome.

But, yes.

To any North Shore Nine listeners from Canada, this isn't directed at you guys.

Okay?

Because I would assume not many North Shore Nine listeners are from the Toronto area.

Because that's Blue Jays country.

But, if you are, get out.

Get out ASAP.

Move away.

That place stinks.

And, I don't want to go to Toronto.

I'll go anywhere else, not Toronto.

Jim was even in the Discord saying Blue Jays fans suck.

So, it's not just me.

They stink.

They smell bad.

They at least gave us maple syrup.

They got the Canadian geese.

Well, Canadian geese are the worst, too.

Those things suck.

But, yeah.

Sidney Crosby, cool.

But, man, oh, man.

you just say Canada stinks.

They send everyone at you.

It's actually absurd.

But, yeah.

That's all I got.

That's my gripe.

You know what's funny about that is, your favorite phrase from our own Jim Rosati is evergreen content, right?

Yes.

This is something that potentially could be evergreen because of how much Pittsburgh hates Canada, right?

Like, what was that, five years ago?

Matt Canada.

Oh, yeah.

He's offensive coordinator for the Steelers.

He might be one.

Everyone hated him.

Canada stinks.

Canada stinks is an evergreen tweet.

That's evergreen content.

Oh, there you go.

You made Jim happy today.

My favorite thing I see on one of these Canadians, like Toronto fans.

Okay?

Here's my favorite one.

The guy that said, I don't understand how the joke works.

His tweens are, his teens, that is.

His favorite teams.

At the Blue Jays.

He has them all in his bio.

At Blue Jays.

At Raptors.

At 49ers.

And you would think the Toronto Maple Leafs.

No.

At Penguins.

Guy got a Chris LeTang profile picture with dolphins in the background.

Soft franchise.

Soft fan base.

Man, Twitter.

Let's move on.

Twitter's a weird place these days.

I don't spend a ton of time there.

But I'll say, the Pirates fan base had a lot going on Twitter the past week.

Nate, we had a bunch of, our favorite accounts get suspended, deleted, gone.

And I just, I don't understand what happened.

My guy, Nick Gonzales's mustache, was the first casualty of whatever this is that's happening.

It's a purge.

It's a purge.

And I can't stand for it.

This is awful.

He, that guy made good content.

He had nice banter.

He was, he was nice to everybody.

And then somebody, I don't know what happened, just decided, nope.

Get rid of that guy.

And I'm upset.

And now, all of these accounts are getting suspended.

I think Hank Dave got suspended.

And just before we got on here, DFA Jared Triolo, who I was not familiar with his game, but I now feel sympathy towards you, sir.

I don't, I don't know if this will mess up the overlay.

If it does, I'm sorry.

But I want to share my screen really quick.

I just, I just want to show, this is a tweet I just, I saw.

On the.

It's definitely going to mess up the overlay.

Just go for it.

Yeah.

Look at this.

Actually, it didn't.

I can't see it.

It went viral.

I can't see it.

Oh, you can't see it.

Okay.

But I can.

It went viral.

What the Twitter God hits.

They made a today's news off of Pirates fans rally with Nick Gonzales mustache after parody account suspension.

What are we doing?

Oh, Twitter.

But they all rallied around behind him because I guess the premise of what happened is I don't know too much of the lore of why, but from what I understand, reading a lot of tweets and stuff is about how, what happened was some account didn't like his stance on basically the salary

cap.

We need one.

It's not fair.

This is something Pirates fans are going under fire for a while, even before they were talking about NS9 live about this a couple of weeks ago, but it's been continuing.

Pirates fans are being exiled to their own little Island.

Okay.

It's like survivor.

We're all being voted out by every other team.

And I see this guy report them and he's like, yeah, I'm the one that got him banned.

There was like, why?

What's your problem?

He was like, it's because he's impersonating a player.

That makes no sense.

That's not why you reported this guy.

You reported him because you don't agree with his opinions.

He's been, everyone's like, who's he, who's he impersonating a player's mustache.

He's not, he's not like Nick Gonzales.

Can we not, can we not be playful on Twitter anymore?

Like I understand.

I'm not going to get into it, but I understand it's a place where people take things a little too literal.

Like the guy that told you the point he was trying to make was nobody gets a joke anymore.

We need, we need a new social media app where we just, everything's a joke.

The NS9 app we could use.

Go to the community tab.

Go to the community tab.

We can all talk.

We all joke.

We all have fun.

Yeah.

Just Twitter's taking away fun nowadays.

Cause nobody likes to have fun, but I'm just so, I'm so upset about this.

Like I miss seeing those guys on my timeline.

And he has since come back.

I'm not going to reveal the new identity, but it's self-explanatory because I don't want to be banned again.

But as we've gone by, since he came back, we've lost more.

More accounts are being purged.

Not Hank Dave.

Gone.

Off the face of X or Twitter.

We lost the Pirate Strong account.

We've lost the...

Pirate Strong?

Yeah, he's gone too.

Wait.

That dude's, like, huge on Instagram.

And he got his Twitter taken away.

Let me share this one.

Here is proof.

Pirate Strong.

Account suspended.

That's actually insane.

Because, like, I'm pulling back the curtain a little bit here.

When we were first, like, hey, we need to get the Instagram up and running.

That's who I was, like, hey, look at this guy.

Like, he's just shooting stuff out.

He's just shooting out news alerts.

And he's got a ton of followers.

And I was, like, we could make, like, a killing on this.

And now, not that he...

I don't think he used Twitter often.

We just told Natty Sports all the time.

It was really fun.

Right.

But that's wild.

Like, oh, my gosh.

And then...

Good thing I stay silent.

I don't say anything on Twitter because it's the off-season.

Or Canada's gonna...

I might be gone soon because Canada's on me right now.

Yeah, some guy from Canada that thinks you don't understand jokes is gonna say, this guy is impersonating a U.S. citizen.

Yes, exactly.

But it continues, though.

As we're talking pre-show setting stuff up, literally an hour ago, someone said, man, what the F?

Because DFA Jared Triolo's been banned or suspended.

Now, I don't support a man being...

Well, I can't say that.

I'm sure I've said I wanted people to be DFA'd before.

But I can't support someone saying they want Jared Triolo DFA'd.

But I still think this is, this is very un-American.

This is a very American podcast today.

People are treading on us, Nate.

We can't let them tread.

This is the purge.

That's what this is.

They're going after any Pirates fan.

And it's not even just like they're doing anything bad.

It's because they're banning them because they want a salary cap.

That's exactly what it is.

So I think the joke has now become that...

Wait.

Who figured out that people were getting suspended just because we're speaking out saying we want a salary cap?

Who figured this out?

I think everyone could.

But who's doing it?

Like, what fan base?

Is it just Natty Sports?

The Red Sky?

Probably the Canadians.

That's probably who it is.

Okay, so now we're just a legend.

Yeah.

But from what I understand is a lot of these people are getting banned or suspended because they want a cap and the joke's become the MLBPA is on Pirates Twitter now, just banning them.

It's become MLB Players Association versus Pirates fans on social media as of late.

Sounds like that guy Paul Skenes might be scheming on Twitter saying, hey, Pittsburgh.

None of that.

Paul Skenes is running a burner account right now telling everyone he does not want the salary cap, but he's too scared to do it with his own face.

I'm surprised he's not sending Livy Dunn in to Twitter to say, nice.

I know you want to keep Paul in Pittsburgh, but we don't want a salary cap.

You can do it without it.

I'm surprised he's not using Livy Dunn as propaganda at this point.

Oh, man.

Well, before we go any further, Nate, we got to take care of some business.

And I got to tell everybody about today's sponsor, Larine Co

We all know nicotine pouches are popular, and part of it isn't so much the nicotine as is the routine.

Larine just launched a pouch that keeps the routine, but leaves the nicotine out.

Larine Co pouches swap out the nicotine and give you clean focus and support your enamel the whole time they're in.

It works like the pouches you've seen before.

Tuck one in and go about your day.

Each pouch has a half cup of coffee's worth of caffeine plus L-theanine and alpha-GPC for a smooth, steady focus with no energy crash.

And it gives your teeth daily enamel support in between brushings.

It comes in mint, cinnamon, and mango.

Also, it's nicotine-free always.

It's doing something good for your teeth, and it gives you smooth energy and focus without those jitters.

Every other pouch out there makes you pick between something that helps you focus and something that's actually good for your teeth.

This is the only one designed to do both, and it comes from a brand that's leading the way at supporting your oral health.

Give Larine a try.

Right now, Larine Co is offering our listeners up to 50% off at buylarine.com slash northshore.

That's buylarine, L-A-R-I-N-E dot com slash northshore for up to 50% off.

So, Nate, in the news recently, Paul Skenes and Livy Dunn, as we were just saying, they went over to Tokyo, went over to Japan, had themselves a nice time.

And while they were there, Paul Skenes tried out to be a sumo wrestler.

I don't know if we could, hopefully we can put the video up here, Nate.

You're the editor supreme over here at HoiMatey.

You like that?

Three, two, one, go!

You were good.

You just got to get low.

But, Paul Skenes, I'll say, my first reaction was, don't pop an Achilles.

Exactly.

And then after that, I was like, what are we doing?

Like, why?

Why are you doing this?

But, hey, to each their own, I would do the same thing.

I would want to get involved in a little sumo action in Tokyo.

Because, when in Rome, right?

So, I don't know.

What did you think of this video that came out?

I ought to say this about Mr. Skenes and Livvy Dunn here.

It seems like they're having a lot of fun after an 82 and 80 finish.

But, I'll leave my frustration.

Hey, that's a winning season, Nate.

Why are you mad about it?

It is a winning season.

But, Paul Skenes had a little bit of a rough post Cy Young campaign.

And, he's out here doing all these side quests about to help us start a lockout, too.

So, Mr. Skenes, we better be better in 27.

But, yeah, he's been doing, he went sumo wrestling over in Japan.

He was at the LSU game walking out with a very Fortnite squad-esque.

Lane Kiffin, Angel Reese, Shaq, himself.

I think it was Livvy Dunn there, too, and then someone else.

But, yeah, very Fortnite squad-esque.

But, yes, yeah, Paul Skenes has been very busy this offseason, doing a lot of activities, traveling the globe.

My first, like, reaction besides, like, let's be better next year, please don't get hurt, was, yeah, it's just MLB content.

They're sending a popular player over to Japan.

Like, let's do this.

I'm surprised they didn't do this with someone else.

Could you imagine them sending, like, Kyle Nicholas over to Japan, former Pirate, to do this?

They would not do that.

They're sending over Paul Skenes and Livvy for the free likes and content.

They want to make as much content as possible.

Now, wait.

You think the MLB is behind this trip?

It's the MLBPA.

They're all in on this.

They're going to silence me next from this podcast.

All right.

All right.

I think you have two young adults who really like each other.

They're like, hey, we make a lot of money.

Let's go to Japan.

Let's go to the time.

But I will say they got a very clear video of whatever this was.

Like, it wasn't.

They got a cameraman with them.

Right.

I think they do have a camera crew.

So, you may have some validity in what you're saying.

But, I think they're just some kids having fun, Nate.

Stupid fun because I thought he was going to get hurt.

Exactly.

But just some kids having fun.

Not to get sidetracked here.

I'm looking at my Twitter.

I got an angry Canadian new comment.

Two comments.

He double commented.

He said, Pirates going to lose all their players.

Ha.

Then he also said, Sidney Crosby and Mario Lemieux are the two greatest things to ever happen in your dog poop city.

Remember that.

So, that's what Canada's next thing is.

Interesting.

I'd say Fred Rogers was the best thing to happen to our city.

But that's just me.

I can't think of anything good in Canada.

But let's move on.

So, yeah.

Poutine.

Yeah, man.

I'm a picker.

But, yeah.

So, I had a thought.

With Paul Skenes's sumo wrestling, let's pair some Pirates with some very niche sports.

And we're just going to ramble with this, do some ad-libs.

So, if you want to play along in the comments, play along.

Leave your comments down below.

We got some comments from the last episode talking about theme nights.

There was one talking about like an old school night where it was just basic stuff.

I thought that was a cool comment where they have like old school announcers using megaphones.

I thought that was pretty sick.

So, thank you for your comments.

But, yeah.

Cody, do you want to go first?

Do you have any niche sports here?

So, I was like, there was one that came immediately to me.

And I was like, this is perfect.

And it has to do with someone who's already mentioned.

Jared Triolo.

Okay.

He's a tall, lanky dude.

And I just imagine him, throwing the ball from like shortstop.

he's got that high overarching throw.

And I think Jared Triolo would make a very good high-lie player if you've ever watched high-lie.

No.

High-lie is like extreme wall ball.

Oh.

But you have like this mitt on your hand that like is actually like a, it looks like a pelican's beak.

Wait, I might actually have seen this on Sportsnet.

You've probably seen high-lie.

But I think, yeah.

I think Jared Triolo would be a great high-lie player.

High-lie can be dangerous.

like sumo wrestling.

But I, just the lankiness, the length that he has.

You have pictures?

You found it?

Okay.

here, I'll pull it up really quick.

Let's see here.

Share screen.

I looked up high-line because that's what I thought you said.

High-line.

Oh, wait.

That's not what I wanted here.

Share this tab instead.

That's what it is.

Yeah.

See?

Yeah.

That's what I'm talking about right there.

Oh.

There we go.

And you lost it.

Oh, I got rid of it.

We're good.

That's high.

That's, yeah.

I spelled that completely wrong.

I spelled it H-I-L-I.

Not knowing what it was.

But, yeah.

I've seen that before.

It was like late night on Sportsnet Pittsburgh.

They just throw the random stuff on there.

Like, what is this?

Yeah.

So, that's mine.

I think Jared Triolo would make a great highlight player.

So, I thought of one today that I've seen a lot of people say he'd be really good at this because Henry Davis is known to pull the ball foul a lot.

And people have said if a home run was 180 degrees behind him or going the other way foul, he'd be the greatest baseball player of all time.

Let's just let him play cricket.

That's what he should play.

That is his sport.

Henry Davis would be the greatest cricket player of all time.

If baseball was played like cricket, I know there was a lot of drama on Twitter.

People were saying, cricket's better than baseball, blah.

No, it isn't.

I've never watched cricket in my life.

You couldn't pay me to watch cricket.

I know John Boy, they love cricket.

I'm sorry.

They're trying to push it hard.

I might be coming across as a hater right now.

But, yeah.

Canada got me all riled up tonight.

But, yeah.

I'm a heel right now, by the way.

But, yes.

I think Henry Davis would be a great cricket player.

I don't think heels usually announce that they're heels.

Listen.

A heel in my head.

Like, I would be that type of heel to let everyone know I am a heel.

I would break the mold.

I'm a bad guy.

I am a bad guy.

But, yes.

I think Henry Davis would be a great cricket player.

I think I've heard, like, Jim talk about this.

I think it was Colin Beasley's brought it up, like, when we were, like, talking at Pirates Fest before.

I think it was him.

I feel like Alex has brought it up many times.

So, yeah.

He would be a great cricket player.

Seems really popular amongst the Pirates Twitter masses, too, as that seems to be the very popular answer.

So, I'll just get that one out of the way.

Yeah.

Yeah, you took the low-hanging fruit there.

I'll allow it.

I think another one I just thought of.

Have you seen the Cooper's Hill cheese rolling?

Yes.

The cheese race in England?

Yep.

You know who I think could do that?

Mr. Mayor.

Jake Mangum.

He's got the little legs.

Be real quick.

He's slightly, he's a small guy.

But, for a small guy, he's stocky.

He could take the hits.

He could tumble a bit and get back on his feet.

So, I'm taking Jake Mangum to win.

I'm going to take him to win the cheese race.

Winning the cheese race.

So, if he ever, if he retires early for some reason, I don't want him to.

But, if he ever does and he's like, I got to get back out there.

Go win a cheese race, kid.

Go do it.

So, I have one here.

It's going to revolve around, if he's still a pirate, it would be a lot better.

But, Brandon Lowe.

And, since Canada wants him so bad, I'll have him play like a winter sport here.

Since the Olympics also happened, I think, this past year, actually.

Yeah, 2026.

Let's let him play the luge.

He's going to be a luger.

It sounded like loser.

I don't know if that's how he...

A lugist.

I don't know.

Well, if he went to Canada.

Yeah.

I don't know the proper term for someone that does the luge.

Is it a luger?

A lugist?

I don't know.

Luging.

But, since he...

See, the thing about the luge, since I'm a luge professional after watching the Olympics for a week, since that's how we, as Americans...

Only a week?

The Olympics.

Or, it was like two weeks or however long it was.

It's two weeks.

But, when the Olympics come to the TV, to NBC or wherever they're on, everyone becomes a professional.

Everyone's like a pro figure skater judge.

Everyone's a pro judge of every single sport.

And, that's how I am with luge.

So, when I was watching the luge events happen, they seem to be not that tall.

smaller in size.

Not a lot of muscle on them, but they look really powerful.

That's basically what Brandon Lowe is.

Not that tall.

Not a lot of looking muscle there.

But, still, he has the size, I think.

Could be a pretty good lugist, or however you say it.

sure.

As an Olympic professional myself, I don't think Brandon Lowe would make a good loser.

They're more like defensive ends, I'd say.

Like, they're slow to the ground, fast on their feet.

I was going to say Konnor Griffin.

I wouldn't categorize those guys in the same spot.

Maybe Konnor Griffin?

Maybe.

That's just because he's a natural-born athlete.

He could do everything.

Put him in, like, the 100-meter dash.

Put him in archery.

Put him in, I don't know, the new Nintendo Switch Sports Resort drop.

Put him in thumb wrestling.

I don't know.

He could do everything.

Yeah.

I...

He could do everything.

I agree.

Yeah, Brandon Lowe for the luge.

I'm trying to think.

I really didn't have much else.

Yeah, I'm out.

I got another one.

Go for it.

So, another Olympic sport, since the summer ones are going to be coming up in Los Angeles in two years.

let's do equestrian horseback riding.

But equestrian, you have to be fancy with this.

As this will be another sport, like figure skating, that no one really pays attention to until every four years.

Everyone will know how to judge horseback riding all of a sudden.

I'm putting Lake Bachar on a horse.

We're doing some equestrian with Lake Bachar.

All right.

He, you know...

I think he'd be pretty good.

I hope this isn't taken as an insult, but, he's got that horse girl hair.

You know?

He's got the long locks.

He's a country guy.

And it looks very thick, you know?

Very thick locks.

Okay.

Hey, I...

Sorry I pay attention to hair.

Like, I...

He's got nice hair.

He's got a nice head of hair.

I respect it.

As the Canadians may say, he's got a nice head of lettuce.

Head of lettuce.

I can't believe there are neighbors up to...

I got people above me right now.

And, like, if you're...

If you're doing the thing where, like, the neighbors to the north, if I'm looking up right now, Canada's up there.

Okay?

There's people up above me tweeting...

Hate tweeting Nathan Osler right now on Twitter about his Canada Stinks tweet.

But, yeah.

Like, if I...

Getting back to that really quick.

If I was verified, Elon Musk would be giving me a lot of money thanks to Canada.

These impressions are going crazy.

That's all I'm gonna say.

But before we go, I did have an idea, because I posted on Twitter a while ago when the Olympics were happening.

I think DiNardo actually made a graphic for it.

I posted about, like, who my Pirates bobsled team would be.

I don't know if you remember this.

I actually don't even remember my response.

I'm gonna try to find it on my own account.

See if I can look myself up and see what I said.

But, yeah.

I want you to think, Cody.

Who would be your Pirates four-man bobsled team?

Actually, here was mine.

It was Ashcraft, Reynolds, Chandler, and Ryan O'Hearn.

That's one I...

Oh, you took one of mine.

Who are you gonna pick?

I'm picking Ryan O'Hearn for sure.

Ryan O'Hearn's gonna be pushing us from the back.

Okay.

Let's see.

I gotta go Konnor Griffin.

Natural-born athlete.

Paul Skenes, because he's got the nice...

He's got legs.

He's got the thick thighs.

He can be...

He can push some weight.

One more.

Who's gonna be our...

Who's gonna be our...

Our pilot?

I'm trying to think of a pilot.

How about Mason Montgomery?

I don't know.

No.

He doesn't...

He doesn't...

He's not very...

Mason Montgomery is...

As a pro-bob-blood.

Every time I...

If I think of Mason Montgomery in a situation where he has to be a leader, that's not where I put him.

Because of the comments he had about Lake Bachar and everybody coming onto the team.

And he was like, yeah, I love meeting new people.

Actually, no, I don't.

He's like, I lied.

But...

Who would be a good...

Nick Gonzales?

Ooh.

Nicky G is the pilot of our bobsled.

I like it.

So, we got Nicky G, Paul Skenes, Ryan O'Hearn, Konnor Griffin.

Not bad.

That's my bobsled team.

I love it.

And I'll make this announcement, too, because I know we want to end this pretty quick here.

Next week, I know...

I think we're going to stick to a plan that we had originally planned, I think.

I don't want to spoil it.

As long as nothing crazy happens, yes.

As long as another Pirates Twitter meltdown doesn't happen.

Right.

Or Canada doesn't get on me.

We have competition next week, I will say.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 comes out, so...

Yeah.

We have...

This is a good show to have on in the background.

Ahoy, matey has some competition with Rockstar Games.

So, hypothetically, if you're trying to make the decision of playing Grand Theft Auto 6 next Thursday, or listening to Ahoy, matey with Nathan Osler and Cody Coleman, you should pick us.

Screw them.

Or both.

Have this on in the background.

Play the game.

That's what I do.

My ADHD is crazy, dude.

Sometimes I got three screens going on.

I only said this because my monitor has a GTA 5 thing.

GTA 5 plans are planning one final drive through Los Santos on November 18th, the night before GTA 6 releases.

If I'm getting on GTA Online, I'm going to blow up all the final drives.

I'm going to cause chaos.

Well, I thought you were going to announce what next week's theme of the show is going to be.

honestly, I didn't want to, but we could.

Just to get people ready.

I'm excited for it.

another thing coming out next week is the anticipated Hunger Games.

Or is it two weeks from now?

I'm not sure.

It would be next week.

It's coming out the 20th?

It's around then.

A week or a week and a half.

Close.

Whatever.

We're 10 days from now.

But we're keeping it on theme.

Yep.

With what's going on around, like, in pop culture.

And the Hunger Games is coming out.

Sunrise on the Reaping.

And we're doing our first annual Ahoy Matey Hunger Games.

Yes.

So, look forward to that.

It's going to be a whole event.

We're going to have...

If you want a precursor on my YouTube channel, I don't think we collabed it.

But I posted a video, like, two years ago.

I was bored one day.

I found a Hunger Games simulator.

And we're going to use that simulator.

We can't rig it or anything.

there might be a way, but we're not going to.

We're going to make the districts.

And last time I did this, it came down to...

I'm not even kidding.

Bob Nutting and Andrew McCutchen.

And Bob Nutting killed off Andrew McCutchen to win the first ever Pirates Hunger Games.

And you couldn't have wrote a better, like, ending.

Like, that was hilarious.

So, I was like, let's do it again.

But with the 2026 Pirates.

And we'll also put some, like, figures.

Like, the front office will be in there.

The Pirate Parrot will be in there.

One of the pierogies probably will be in there.

I think I had sauerkraut saw last time.

Maybe we'll put Potato Pete and Jalapeno Hanna, since they were the top two finishers this year.

And see which pierogi lasts the longest.

But, yeah, next week, Pirates Hunger Games.

we're going to do a draft.

we're going to go to each district.

And we're going to pull two names.

And we're going to pick the tributes.

So, look forward to that next week.

And I think that's all we got, Nate.

That's all we got.

All right, folks.

Thank you for listening to Ahoy Matey.

Go download the app.

We've mentioned it a ton of times.

It's a lot of fun.

Along with the games that have.

Oh, yeah, they're awesome.

Nate mentioned the card game.

I like to play the trivia.

I like to play the build your own lineup.

It, like, gives you, like, a randomizer.

That one's awesome.

I love it.

Yes.

Everybody gets the same years.

So, it's not rigged.

To my knowledge.

I think today, the year didn't go over 1965.

Yeah, there's been a lot of 1930s to 1950s as of late.

So, I'm really looking for a Connor Joe draft soon.

I wanted to pick it.

It tests, it tests your pirate's knowledge.

So, it's really fun.

We've got a lot of games on the app.

So, go download that.

Join the Discord.

Yes.

If you want to, if you want to become a member, become a member on YouTube.

Or, you can become a Patreon member.

I don't know if we throw the video on here afterwards of Jim explaining all this.

I don't think we did it last time.

So, I'll just, it's out of date anyway.

That was recorded, like, two years ago.

But, like, you join the Patreon, you get thrown into some giveaways, you get some extra perks.

But, yeah.

Other than that, we're glad to be here and just shooting the poop with you.

Had to figure out a way to end it there.

But, yeah.

Thank you guys all, as always, for watching.

Make sure to like, comment, subscribe.

If you have any ideas, leave them down below and we'll talk about them.

So, yeah.

All right.

See ya.

See ya.
