It's a special mea culpa episode this week, as we welcome back Szczecin University (Poland) history professor and Episode 289 guest Łukasz Muniowski (Turnpike Team: A History of the New Jersey Nets 1977-2012) for a deep dive into the drama of the NBA's Vancouver Grizzlies move to Memphis in 2001 - and an assessment of the winners and losers some 23+ years since.   While Muniowski's current title on the topic (The Grizzlies Migrate to Memphis: From Vancouver Failure to Southern Success) has been out since October, your humble host not only lost track of the book's publishing date, but also the entire audio file of our conversation (originally recorded back in August 2023) - until a recent cloud backup surfaced a redundant version.   It's worth the wait, as we tackle the origin story of the Grizzlies' move from Vancouver's GM Place (now Rogers Arena) to Memphis' Pyramid (and eventually FedEx Forum), the numerous other destination cities rumored in the process, the outsized personalities involved, the motivations behind such a hasty move only six seasons after becoming an expansion franchise, and the aftermath - including whether the Memphis version of the club can be labeled a "success," despite winning only two division titles since bringing pro hoops to Beale Street.    + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY   SPONSOR THANKS: Newspapers.com (promo code: GSA20):  https://newspapers.com Old School Shirts.com (promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2   BUY/READ EARLY & OFTEN: The Grizzlies Migrate to Memphis: From Vancouver Failure to Southern Success (2023): https://amzn.to/3xNvWBr   FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

Younger fans of today's Memphis Grizzlies can be forgiven for thinking the NBA franchise has spent the entirety of its 28-year existence playing its still-evolving brand of pro hoops in the FedExForum. But this week's guest - documentary filmmaker and Vancouver, BC native Kat Jayme ("The Grizzlie Truth;" "Finding Big Country") - is here to remind us that the "Grizz" actually got its start as one of two 1995 Canadian expansion teams (the other: the still-vibrant Toronto Raptors), scratching out its initial six seasons of chaotic existence in Cascadia country. Despite five coaches, a woeful .219 winning percentage, a raft of questionable draft picks, and an economically challenging US/Canadian exchange rate - Jayme fondly remembers a team from her late 1990s youth which Vancouver embraced with unbridled enthusiasm - yet wonders not only why they left GM Place for Beale Street, but also what might have been had they stayed put in Rain City. + + +  WATCH EARLY & OFTEN: Finding Big Country (2018) The Grizzlie Truth (trailer; 2022) Born Identities (NBA Films short; 2021) We the West (2020) I'm Just Here For the Riot (ESPN Films "30 For 30" documentary; not yet released; 2023) FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram (+ Threads): https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

Lil Nas X Fears Talking About Homophobia In Hip Hop, Britney Spears Dragged on Stage & MORE!  Lil Nas X has expressed his fears on talking about the homophobia within Hip Hop. He said to Variety, “The honest truth is, I don't want to speak on a lot of the homophobia within rap because I feel like this is a very dangerous playing field, “ Lil Nas X also said that the homophobia he's experienced during his life has “bred a lot of self-hate” but also “made me stronger” He admitted that a lot of times he does feel unsafe and when asked about his controversial video for ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)', he admits “That's when I actually started getting security”  He went on to talk about his love life and how he “was actually going to do ‘Euphoria', but I didn't want to take time away from finishing my album,”  Britney Spears was “dragged” on stage in Vancouver after complaining there was too much B.C. bud smoke in the air. This is the shocking claim of Valerie Moise, one of the pop star's former back-up dancers, who wrote in a recent Instagram Story: “I remember crying backstage when Miss B did not want to perform because there was a lot of weed smoke in the audience. They dragged her by her arms back to the stage anyway.” According to Moise, Spears “didn't want to perform because if the conservatorship caught drugs in her system they would take away her kids.” Moise did not name the concert venue or tour but fans have deduced it was during The Circus Starring Britney Spears show on April 8, 2009 at GM Place, now Rogers Arena.  CTV News reported on April 9, 2009 that Spears walked off stage “citing smoke in the air” but returned after about 30 minutes. A rep for Spears said in a statement after the show that “crew members above the stage became ill due to a ventilation issue.”  Joshua Bassett says he has no regrets about coming out publicly earlier this year. He told Attitude. Joshua shared advice for young people who were in the same place he was.  Articles by John. R.

[Show Notes Link]Direct Download Link | | Direct download link A Skype interview with blogger J.J. Guerrero from the Canucks Hockey Blog, Rebecca and I learn more about the guy behind the blog, why he loves the Vancouver Canucks, and gather some insights about the team. The other interesting thing to note about J.J. is that he worked at GM Place for about nine years as an usher. He has a lot of knowledge about the team other that just loving the guys like we do. We don’t spend a lot of time setting up the episode because it really speaks for itself. If you dig hockey, then you’ll really enjoy this one.

We did a lot of recording and did our best to share our experience through this episode. We got to the event a little late, only to get seats near the nose bleed section. We worked our way to the floor where we were in close proximity to some of the NHL’s decision makers, legends, coaches, and players. No music in this episode.

[Show Notes Link]Direct Download Link | | Direct download link This episode is mostly about tales from Vancouver. I share my experience at my first Canucks game last night at GM Place. It’s hard not to talk quite a bit of hockey today. Also, Rebecca and I made our way over to Vancouver Island to spend the weekend in Victoria this past weekend, so I take some time to share some of those experiences. There was so much to talk about and I know I forgot about half of what I wanted to share. With hope, I can share more in the future as I think of it. I think I yack a lot on this one, hence the length of today’s episode. Thank you to each band listed below for granting me permission to play their music for you!
