Crypto is a lot of things, but it isn't a currency according to Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary, aka “Mr. Wonderful." What would it take to get there? Is the collapse of a $25 billion cryptocurrency startup a death knell for the industry? Not according to Kevin O'Leary, an investor, businessman, and author. He sees the failure of FTX as a speed bump rather than a roadblock, underscoring the distinction between speculative assets like Bitcoin and more stable entities like Stablecoins. Despite the turmoil, O'Leary maintains that the potential of cryptocurrencies remains vast. He foresees their integration into the global economy but contends that this can only happen successfully with appropriate regulation to curtail the sector's “Wild West” tendencies. As the cryptocurrency community awaits the final outcome of the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple and other companies, it remains to be seen whether or when digital assets will be incorporated into our daily economic lives.

Guest: Kevin McGran, hockey reporter The Toronto Maple Leafs signed star forward William Nylander to a record-setting $92-million, eight-year contract, a monster deal amid what has been a monster season for the winger. At a time when every sports fan is expected to be a salary cap expert, can any of us just be happy that we get to watch one of the most talented and entertaining teams to play around here in decades? Nylander's had "just like us" moments, like his riding the subway to work and, like many in Toronto, finding a home here after moving all around the world. "Uncle Kevin" also shares some early notes about Ilya Samsonov returning to the ice with the Leafs and making sense of the goalie situation.

Every once in awhile a particular type of 'poast' or 'poaster' on the internet goes viral, or develops a legend around them, wether they know it or not. One such poaster is Kevin Kenneth Koehnke, whose selfies featuring his custom made trucker caps are instantly recognizable. Mr Koehnke has had quite a mysterious sort of legend spring up around him, due to his past 'BoomerWaffen' poasting on Facebook, and in part to other internet accounts sharing his pictures, acting as a sort of homage, a tribute, which only add to his fame. I finally tracked Mr Koehnke down, and he shares his life and many stories from the road with us.
