I got to interview Sam Bennett

[nickerjones]

Ok not sure if this is the right place but I thought it was cool! Beer League Talk got the chance to interview Sam Bennett a couple weeks ago. I asked him all the hard hitting beer league questions, like who is the Flames' Phil Kessel. Enjoy

[Bend it like Bourgeois]

That’s awesome. Congrats.

Thanks dude! Now if I could just get Johnny and ask him the most important question. Old Fashioned, Tropical, or Berry for skittles flavor!

[GGG]

Did you ask him how old he was?

I have watched enough Flames broadcasts to know the answer to that already.

[nickerjones]

Well TSN/Bardown picked it up so that's cool!

So you're telling us that he is indeed still 18-year old Sam Bennett?

I have the same Reebok sweater that you were wearing that night. My own brush with celebrity!

Dammit Nick! Let me know when you're doing these things, I'd totally come and check it out!

[Simon96Taco]

That is awesome!

[The Fonz]

Good job Nick, you look and sound really comfortable up there too. I'd have sh*t falling out of my pant leg if I had to do something like that.

My brother was there. Wanted a jersey signed.

I think this was an invite only thing by OJ's. I know they were giving away tickets on Facebook. I was able to bring a +1 and brought one of my podcast hosts. Im hoping this appearance leads to more things like this. If it does, you'd definitely be on my VIP list!

I'm not sure I saw Sam around signing anything. I know he rushed out at the end because it was the Flames players Halloween party that night.

Celebrity? I wish! Just the hardest working man in beer league hockey

Thanks dude. You know I used to be like that but then I was told to picture everyone naked which was pretty awkward since most of our audience is middle age beer league males.

That was fun to watch Nick! Well done.

Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed it.

Wow, that was incredible. You look completely natural in front of the camera and speaking to a celebrity. Hopefully this is a stepping stone to bigger things. I wouldn't be surprised if local media saw something there.

Hey Thanks dude... It means a lot you would recognize that. I don't really have any formal training so Im not sure media outlets will come a knocking. I'd love this to lead to other stuff. I definitely enjoy contributing this different kind of hockey content ( the beer leaguers view on hockey) to the hockey world.

Props bro - dope interview

[ASP#26525]

Very cool! The only negative thing I can say is that it wasn't long enough! I really like hearing those insider things, I hope you get to do more of these. Congrats!
