Morning, folks.
Mike McIntyre and I had our weekly podcast chat on Wednesday, and things got a little heated.
We may need your help on this one.

In the first period of our Jetcetera: Episode 36, we discussed why NHL players may be reluctant to bring their talents to Winnipeg, along with the challenges that brings for Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff. Mike and I were pretty much in agreement here — we have grown to accept and love our city, but we can see why rich, young hockey players might not.
In the second frame, we chatted about the moves the Jets have made over the last week and the state of the team’s blue-line brigade for next season. Again, we were pretty much on the same page — mixed reviews on the deals and still work to be done on defence.
We also had a segment on the MLB playoffs and discovered we’re like-minded in our admiration for what ex-Jays GM Alex Anthopolous has done to help steer the Atlanta Braves to a 2-0 lead over the Dodgers in the NLCS and a potential berth into the World Series.
Doug’s favourite holiday dish, pumpkin pie.
But then folks things got a little heated — and not in a good way — when Mike insisted that a) pumpkin pie is the best pie; and b) ice cream should never be eaten atop pie. In fact, he said it should never even touch the pie.
Say what?!
For the record, my favourite pie is cherry — warmed in the oven — with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. Of course, I eat it with a spoon to scoop up the melted mess.
Mike and I vehemently disagreed on raisin pie — I love it. He’s wrong, and doesn’t.
Pumpkin is OK, but I mostly eat it it for the whipped cream.
But we did find common ground in our dislike of lemon meringue pie. Although, my boss later told me he likes it, so perhaps we should give it a chance. Hey, you don’t last 34 years at this place without agreeing with the boss.
OK, folks. Let’s hear what you think. Ice cream or not? Pumpkin or cherry? And, what about raisin?
