·1 hr 1 min·3 clips

Paul says Tyson Schritter is bending the rules in a 10-person NHL hockey pool.

1. The Microdose Podcast episode 159 centers on Paul Meyerhaug and Damon Schritter arguing about a family NHL hockey pool and a rule dispute with Tyson Schritter. 2. Paul Meyerhaug is one host, Damon Schritter is the other, and Tyson Schritter is the family member Paul says he needs to confront. 3. The episode is for sorting out a hockey-pool grievance, then drifting into family stories, health talk, and news jokes. 4. Paul says the pool has 10 people, each with about 12 players, and roughly $500 on the line. 5. He says Leon Draisaitl is stuck on the bench because of an injury-reserve rule he believes Tyson applied unfairly. 6. Damon and Paul describe the Schritter family as people who love loopholes and borderline cheating in golf tournaments and other contests. 7. The conversation moves from the pool to Paul’s history with chewing tobacco, including “Red Man,” “Beach Nut,” and a dislike of modern dipping. 8. Paul and Damon compare old habits like flicking a Copenhagen tin, handling saliva, and dealing with a dry mouth at the dentist. 9. Paul says he quit smoking at the start of the year and has been off cigarettes since just before New Year’s. 10. The hosts talk about their mothers, including Paul’s mother laughing so hard she has to tap her neck and Damon’s mother giving a nine-minute birthday call. 11. They also mention the same birthday shared by Damon’s mother and Cecile’s mother, which led Cecile to take her mother to Japan and a forest in Kyoto. 12. Paul says his mother told him “the world’s gonna end” and called 2023 a nuclear winter. 13. Damon’s old school memory about a kid nicknamed “Itchy” includes a two-liter-of-Coke-a-day routine and a basement full of pop inventory. 14. Paul then explains that he has been wearing a blood-sugar sensor after buying one for about $100 at Shoppers Drug Mart. 15. He says the sensor checks his blood every five minutes, and after exercise he saw a red warning for low blood sugar. 16. Paul describes the weak, shaky feeling he gets when he goes too long without eating and says wine gums or a Coke can bring him back. 17. The hosts joke that Wilford Brimley was right to talk about diabetes, and they talk about getting a Wilford Brimley tattoo or tramp stamp. 18. The tone stays loose and improvised, with long back-and-forth riffing, overlapping interruptions, and quick jumps between jokes and personal stories. 19. Listeners who like Canadian comedy banter, family feuds, and sideways news talk. 20. Skip it if you want a tightly structured interview or one topic only.

As heard by us

Blood sugar talk, childhood medical memories, and a running joke built on wine gum.

The episode keeps circling a blood sugar monitor, and the bit holds up better than it should. One host talks through a paid test, low readings after exercise, and the possibility of hypoglycemia, while the other keeps the teasing moving with the wine gum logic and the nicknames.
