Jesus

... to help John Hodge get an Xbox Series X.

Uh, the goal was set at $1,100.

Yeah.

Um-

For an insider's view on how companies are deploying AI, I recommend my conversation with Yuval Atsmon, the Chief Financial Officer of McKinsey, the global consulting firm.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the three hour nation podcast.

I'm John Hodge joined by Justin Dunk and JC Abbott.

And for our video viewers, I like this gray cup hat, but I think I have something better here.

Hold on.

So on a completely unrelated note, we're foregoing our normal broadcasting today.

Instead, I'm going to be reading a list of the top 400 reasons the Blue Bombers are the greatest team in the history of Western civilization.

Why, why, why might John Hodge be repping a Shreveport Pirates hat on a podcast?

It's because they no longer have the worst start in CFL history.

Welcome to our picks for week 17 in the Canadian Football League.

I'm John Hodge, joined as always by JC Abbott, a.k.a.

Cheese.

Cheese, how's it going today? It's going great, Hodge.

So despite the injury at left tackle for Calgary, I'm still going to have to pick the Stampeders and I will continue picking against the Red Blacks until they win.

You make some very logical and well thought out points there, Hodge.

So if you're somebody who likes to place your money down in a rational and logical manner, you should probably listen to Mr. John Hodge.

If you're a complete and utter madman, You should come with me.

But yeah, fingers crossed.

And maybe we'll start out today's show with because I know we need to know, John Hodge, why do you hate the Toronto Argonauts? You have to address this because I hear it.

I hear it a fair amount in Toronto.

Come clean, John.

And he's one of those guys.

So I'm sad to see him retire and excited to see what he moves on to and gets up to going forward.

John Hodge, can you win in the CFL without a run game?

I think anything can happen as a one-off, right? I asked the CFL this past week.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Three Down Nation podcast.

I'm Justin Dunk, joined by John Hodge and JC Abbott.

Fellas, I don't know about you, but for some reason, I felt the need to put on a cup to tape this podcast.

How about you two?

And theoretically, Bo could be available for a playoff game, possibly, is what Milanovic said.

But obviously, at this point, the Tiger Cats are an extreme long shot to make the playoffs in 2026.

For Justin Dunk and JC Abbott, I'm John Hodge.

We thank you as always for listening to the Three Down Nation podcast.
