When people say that this interview is one of the best, rarely is it true. This one certainly was. Top 3 for sure.

This was one of the best interviews in Chiclets history

Keep the old enforcer interviews coming boys!!

Behnnnnn…..

Hands down best interview I’ve heard on the pod. Mick is an absolute beauty.

Loved the Mick Vukota interview. Man the old days were awesome, it was the wild west back then lmao!

As a life long Isles fan (51yrs) this was an unbelievable interview. Thanks for the great memories Mick......LGI!!!!!!

One of my all time favorite players to work with when I was head of PR for the Islanders. All stories here are true and lots more out there. Not said is that Mick is one of Isles' fans all time favorite players and when Isles signed him WHL fans came out of the woodwork looking for schedule info and satellite coordinates. Was also one of first to step up and help with charitable activities. Keep rolling, Mick.

in keeping with old school interviews, you guys absolutely need to bring Mickey Redmond onto the podcast. That guy has stories for days

One of the best interviews on the POD ever . Mick is a gem of a guest 👍

Great job bringing Nick Vukota on the show boys. These are the guys you need to bring on the show with the great stories because this generation does not know how hockey was played in the 80’s. I grew up watching and playing in that generation and living in Alberta only knew he was a enforcer for the Islanders and at western boy. Keep up the good work Boys and keep brining these enforcers on the show. Would love to see if Dave Brown would be available in the near future.👍🏻

Mick the Quick Was mostly a wrestler but had a few good bouts

I’m a jets fan living in Winnipeg and G and Biz going on about $28 tickets is ridiculous. Tickets have just very recently dropped to around $65 but most games are still $80+ On another note I know a lot of people in Winnipeg are barely getting by and struggling to pay their rent. And the people that aren’t struggling are too sheltered to even step foot in downtown Winnipeg to go to the game. I work in downtown Winnipeg and I understand it can feel sketchy sometimes but the most safe I’ve felt downtown is during big events like Jets games.

Economy in Canada is crap everywhere. Rent, groceries, utilities, car payments. At $80 a game + food and drink, transportation that's ~$150. Cant see that more than once a month on a 65K salary

1/5 of Canadians are using Food Banks regularly. No wonder we’re not dishing out $80+ per head to go buy a $20 beer…

I think they also failed to add that they probably saw the tickets in USD currency... In North America, we're all going through shit with inflation, but people forget, the Canadian dollar is the equivalent to glorified Monopoly money 🤑🤦‍♂️🙈

@@jehuspeen for sure, and you're even being conservative. I'd argue the cost on a night out at a game, even in somewhere like Winnipeg, is still easily $200+, when you factor in travel/parking, food, tickets, "fun" before or after the game, in whatever form you partake in. It's just a luxury most can't routinely afford anymore. This is a North American issue all over, but by extension the World too. The squeeze is real, even for those making what used to be "considered decent money/salary"

Best interview of all time please bring him back on such great stories

Super cool that Mick also listens the pod. Didn't seem nervous at all. All his stories were nailed!

The Vukota interview was amazing. I was completely dialed in listening to his legendary stories.

Yes guy! Mick Vukota was an absolute beauty of an interview. Good old Sasky boys always bring the heat with the stories!

As a 41 year old die-hard Isles fan growing up watching Mick and those late 80s, early 90s teams, I absolutely loved this pod.

This fucken interview is why we watch this show superstars are great the best rookies and wayno are amazing but spitting chiclets was made to have interviews like this well done boys and mick

❤❤❤❤ Spot on!

Appreciate the shout out, boys. Keep up the heat on Fanatics and the awful deal with the NHL... and literally every other league.

What a great guy Watched this interview 3 times...love this guy.

Based on the timeframe of that game Mick Vukota played in the FHL on Martha's Vineyard, he tussled with 2023 Willie O'Ree Award recipient Jason McCrimmon who was playing for the Danbury Whalers at the time.

Remember watching Vukota play for the Grizzlies and winning the Turner Cup (IHL). He was there to enforce but he wasn't a complete goon, he'd go out there and contribute, big hits, and of course throw down. He a had signature way of fighting, keeping his right hand up by his eye, then he'd latch on and it was over for the other guy. To this day we still talk about Mick and see people rocking his #12. What a great interview.

I met Mick a few times. I was a kid playing peewee hockey in Rutland when Mick played for Kelowna. One of my teammates was Tony Horacek's billet family who was a teammate of Mick. Those Kelowna games were fun. Always seemed to get knocked out of the playoffs by Cliff Ronning and New Westminster. I remember one game in Kelowna Mick got in a fight, threw a couple punches, then did a scoop body slam lol

This dude needs to make his own podcast asap. Great story teller and voice

Holy shit!! As a guy who grew up in S’toon same era as Mick…..the Blades…watching Kocur, Wendel, Tony Twist, Dave Brown, etc, it was the best flashback to listen to these stories. Mick left a big steamer on Milbury’s chest exposing him as a POS….”just ask Gretz, Biz”…classic! Visualizing the yard sale of a hotel room in the parks lot is funny af! The stories were all time! Mick is in Chiclets HOF!

Great Episode truly one of the best ones yet. Love hearing the older stories the most.

My God! Vukota is a legend. His Dad telling him ‘you need to drink less’ upon getting called up is underrated hysterical. LGI!

Definitely a top five Chiclets interview. Great storyteller.

Mick Vukota, what a beauty. Start a podcast or something brother. This is gold.

I have heard Ian Bagg promote your guys podcast Multiple times. He was on Your Moms House several years ago and he told Tom to give you guys a listen. You should have him on the podcast.

Man what a fucking legend one of the best interviews ever

André Roy and Mick Vukota. They have to be the top 2 storytellers to ever come on this show.

Mick starts at the 1:57:00 mark

Biz calling everyone Uncle has me in tears 😂

That Bawdy Ammah ad from RA might be the best thing on the internet.

We all have a favourite player, Gordon is mine. Top man, very happy he joined us. I hope he’s here for many years.

Mick sounds like a real good guy. Amazing interview guys.

Mick Vukota was must watch tv. That patented takedown move he did.

This is by far one of the best interviews ever you guys have done! Mick Vukota was awesome…what a great dude with some amazing stories!

This guy was an awesome interview!

Been following the Islanders since I seen them win the 4 cups as a kid. Hearing that Vukota and Pilan pulled the trigger on a mission to get Hunter even if AL killed it makes me feel better after never getting any kind of retribution after all these years. Dang.

love watching the pod on YT compared to listening to it on apple podcasts, love seeing the reactions and expressions from the boys

Hearing Biz talk about hunting was hilarious! Keep it up Biz.

My favourite interview in a long time.

Loved Mick's interview. What a guy.

Always knew the name but had never heard him interviewed until recently, Mick is hilarious.

10/10 interview! Great job fellas

Hilarious interview!! Thanks guys!!

Love the old school guys this is so good 🔥

This guy! Great interview!

I live in Winnipeg and the cheapest seats are usually 100ish a game, don’t know where you guys are getting the 28 bucks, if they were that much I would for sure go more

Such an entertaining episode fellas, Vukota is a gem...great stuff.

Best Interview! Loved his honesty.

Holy shit boys, Game notes announcement, Frozen Frenzy, and a new Chiclets Pod? What did we do to deserve this? Let’s f*cking go!

Can’t wait for biz to start providing food after his hunts for you all lol

this interview had me laughing from start to finish. Outstanding!

Loved the interview, Mick was a great guest..funny stories.

No way!! I was just thinking about when you guys would interview mick vukota, I always like him as an enforcer and was super happy when my team Montreal acquired him in 98 for some toughness

What a great interview!

Old time hockey stories always great

The interviews with the older guys r so much better then any with the newer guys

Greatest duck segment lol 😂 can’t wait for todays episode

Re: Attendance It is just too expensive to go to games, especially in Canada. Never mind the fact ppl are just straight up hurting due to inflation. In 2023 an equivalent of 20% of the population uses the Food Banks.

excellent. Mick was great. As a life long Islander fan, the stories were relateable. Thank you for this entertaining show. Mike

Great interview, lmao. One of your best. Great pick boys.

Loved the story about Gordie Lane! Crazy

Great interview. Mick is a great story teller

Very well timed question about the tuck rule game, RA!

Ian Bagg is from my hometown Terrace in northern BC. I have seen him plug Spittin Chicleys when he is a guest on bug podcasts like your moms house. He would be a legendary guest

Oh that was a delifht. Especially teh story about his last professional game

Lol biz on the trail with the poles yelling on your left on your left passing by people

Rent costs have gone up 23% since last year ie. 1250$ a month for a 1 bedroom apartment. The average person is spending 450$ a month to eat. Parking can cost anywhere from 2-3 dollars an hour downtown. You're looking at anywhere from 30-50$ to eat to support downtown businesses, not to mention what you pay at the arena. And all of this is if you are going by yourself

Wiki has Pasta listed at 7’6”, 345 lbs. What a unit!

"any of those shots make you smell like a keg of beer"- haha gotta love Al Arbour

Best. Interview. EVER!!!!

Great interview.

Agreed great interview!!

Mick is a beauty. Such a storyteller!

Vukota was my favorite player when he played for Spokane.

yes! Get Ian bagg on the pod!!

Ian bagg is hilarious. Love that he is on your radar now. Big hockey guy And biz put down some stillmat sport court for roller hockey in your yard!

Wings on fire! LGRW

Whit with the hangover shades on

my favourite guest of all time besides the great one

Biz with the shout out to Mel Lastman, NOOOOBooddyy!

Top Notch. Was crying laughing when Bizz talked about Michael Rasmussen and said oh just another diamond in the ruff 6th round pick next Zetterberg !!!!

Boys, top notch episode.

Guys from Saskatchewan can really throw 'em

Believe that was Jason Mcrimmon in the FED when it was the Danbury Whalers.

haha the guy he's mentioning at 3:16:06 is Jason McCrimmon. He just won the Willie O'Ree award at the NHL Awards.

Idk if Gametime is showing in Canadian currency yet, I know they said they’d do that eventually. So that 28 bucks is probably not accurate. Not to mention 28 bucks to sit in the nose bleeds, nah, I’ll stay home and watch it on tv, and use that “28 bucks” toward my case of beer which is now inflated to almost $60. Canada is expensive AF rn boys.
