Ep. 104: The Vancouver Stanley Cup Riot

About this episode

Ian and Liv discuss the Vancouver Stanley Cup Riot that occurred in 2011, exploring the absurdity of rioting as a response to sports losses.

There's a right and wrong way to riot, everyone. In this one, Ian and Liv talk about a riot that broke out in Vancouver after the 2011 Stanley Cup finals. And it's confirmed to be a fact, that the best way to mentally process your team's loss, is destroying the city in which they're based. Hashtag sarcasm. Also, Liv's high school math teacher is dead. Ian fantasizes about being placed under house arrest.
