- On Episode 467 of Spittin’ Chiclets, the guys are joined by Mick Vukota. Mick joined (01:56:59) to discuss his legendary career as an NHL enforcer. But before Mick’s hilarious interview, the guys talk about their weekends, the troubles in Edmonton, and what else is going on around the league. The boys also talk about the rumors circling around the NHL Draft and is RA really the worst thing to ever come out of Boston? The Anaheim Ducks seems to think so.

When people say that this interview is one of the best, rarely is it true. This one certainly was. Top 3 for sure.
Keep the old enforcer interviews coming boys!!
Behnnnnn…..
This was one of the best interviews in Chiclets history
Hands down best interview I’ve heard on the pod. Mick is an absolute beauty.
As a life long Isles fan
(51yrs) this was an unbelievable interview.
Thanks for the great memories Mick......LGI!!!!!!
One of my all time favorite players to work with when I was head of PR for the Islanders. All stories here are true and lots more out there. Not said is that Mick is one of Isles' fans all time favorite players and when Isles signed him WHL fans came out of the woodwork looking for schedule info and satellite coordinates. Was also one of first to step up and help with charitable activities. Keep rolling, Mick.
in keeping with old school interviews, you guys absolutely need to bring Mickey Redmond onto the podcast. That guy has stories for days
Zach Kassian
Appreciate the shout out, boys. Keep up the heat on Fanatics and the awful deal with the NHL... and literally every other league.
Loved the Mick Vukota interview. Man the old days were awesome, it was the wild west back then lmao!
Great job bringing Nick Vukota on the show boys. These are the guys you need to bring on the show with the great stories because this generation does not know how hockey was played in the 80’s. I grew up watching and playing in that generation and living in Alberta only knew he was a enforcer for the Islanders and at western boy. Keep up the good work Boys and keep brining these enforcers on the show. Would love to see if Dave Brown would be available in the near future.👍🏻
Mick not Nick
Mick the Quick
Was mostly a wrestler but had a few good bouts
I’m a jets fan living in Winnipeg and G and Biz going on about $28 tickets is ridiculous. Tickets have just very recently dropped to around $65 but most games are still $80+
On another note I know a lot of people in Winnipeg are barely getting by and struggling to pay their rent. And the people that aren’t struggling are too sheltered to even step foot in downtown Winnipeg to go to the game. I work in downtown Winnipeg and I understand it can feel sketchy sometimes but the most safe I’ve felt downtown is during big events like Jets games.
Economy in Canada is crap everywhere. Rent, groceries, utilities, car payments. At $80 a game + food and drink, transportation that's ~$150. Cant see that more than once a month on a 65K salary
I live in Winnipeg too biz is so full of shit !!!
1/5 of Canadians are using Food Banks regularly. No wonder we’re not dishing out $80+ per head to go buy a $20 beer…
I think they also failed to add that they probably saw the tickets in USD currency... In North America, we're all going through shit with inflation, but people forget, the Canadian dollar is the equivalent to glorified Monopoly money 🤑🤦♂️🙈
@@jehuspeen for sure, and you're even being conservative. I'd argue the cost on a night out at a game, even in somewhere like Winnipeg, is still easily $200+, when you factor in travel/parking, food, tickets, "fun" before or after the game, in whatever form you partake in. It's just a luxury most can't routinely afford anymore. This is a North American issue all over, but by extension the World too. The squeeze is real, even for those making what used to be "considered decent money/salary"
One of the best interviews on the POD ever . Mick is a gem of a guest 👍
Best interview of all time please bring him back on such great stories
Super cool that Mick also listens the pod. Didn't seem nervous at all. All his stories were nailed!
The Vukota interview was amazing. I was completely dialed in listening to his legendary stories.
As a 41 year old die-hard Isles fan growing up watching Mick and those late 80s, early 90s teams, I absolutely loved this pod.
Mick Vukota, what a beauty. Start a podcast or something brother. This is gold.
Yes guy! Mick Vukota was an absolute beauty of an interview. Good old Sasky boys always bring the heat with the stories!
This fucken interview is why we watch this show superstars are great the best rookies and wayno are amazing but spitting chiclets was made to have interviews like this well done boys and mick
❤❤❤❤ Spot on!
This dude needs to make his own podcast asap. Great story teller and voice
Remember watching Vukota play for the Grizzlies and winning the Turner Cup (IHL). He was there to enforce but he wasn't a complete goon, he'd go out there and contribute, big hits, and of course throw down. He a had signature way of fighting, keeping his right hand up by his eye, then he'd latch on and it was over for the other guy. To this day we still talk about Mick and see people rocking his #12. What a great interview.
Based on the timeframe of that game Mick Vukota played in the FHL on Martha's Vineyard, he tussled with 2023 Willie O'Ree Award recipient Jason McCrimmon who was playing for the Danbury Whalers at the time.
I met Mick a few times. I was a kid playing peewee hockey in Rutland when Mick played for Kelowna. One of my teammates was Tony Horacek's billet family who was a teammate of Mick. Those Kelowna games were fun. Always seemed to get knocked out of the playoffs by Cliff Ronning and New Westminster. I remember one game in Kelowna Mick got in a fight, threw a couple punches, then did a scoop body slam lol
Definitely a top five Chiclets interview. Great storyteller.
What a great guy
Watched this interview 3 times...love this guy.
All due respect to many awesome interviews spittin chicklets this one is my favorite Mick Fuckin Vukota if ya need him!! Awesome job by whit biss and RA too fuckin rights boys
Holy shit!!
As a guy who grew up in S’toon same era as Mick…..the Blades…watching Kocur, Wendel, Tony Twist, Dave Brown, etc, it was the best flashback to listen to these stories.
Mick left a big steamer on Milbury’s chest exposing him as a POS….”just ask Gretz, Biz”…classic!
Visualizing the yard sale of a hotel room in the parks lot is funny af!
The stories were all time! Mick is in Chiclets HOF!
André Roy and Mick Vukota. They have to be the top 2 storytellers to ever come on this show.
My God! Vukota is a legend. His Dad telling him ‘you need to drink less’ upon getting called up is underrated hysterical. LGI!
Great Episode truly one of the best ones yet. Love hearing the older stories the most.
I have heard Ian Bagg promote your guys podcast Multiple times. He was on Your Moms House several years ago and he told Tom to give you guys a listen. You should have him on the podcast.
Time stamp ?
@@carsonmcculloch8233it was years ago bud I ain’t digging through it but I know for a fact it happened.
This is an ALL TIME interview
Reaching 😂
@@NotHereForLikes L.
Mick sounds like a real good guy. Amazing interview guys.
Man what a fucking legend one of the best interviews ever
Mick starts at the 1:57:00 mark
As a jets fan it ain’t 20 bucks I brought 3 buddies too a game for the home opener and for some middle of the pack seats it was a combined 900 bucks
That’s absurd man. Plus I’ll bet they robbed you at parking and charged you 17 bucks for a soda
Nosebleeds are more than 20
Vancouver is facing the same issue. It costs less to go on vacation for a week than a Canucks game + night out.
@@Jeremy-yh8lv ya probably worse their with the bigger market and worse economy
For Ottawa I went to the Buffalo game for $34/ticket. Parking was the same price though. And pizza+pop was $17
That Bawdy Ammah ad from RA might be the best thing on the internet.
We all have a favourite player, Gordon is mine. Top man, very happy he joined us. I hope he’s here for many years.
Mick Vukota was must watch tv. That patented takedown move he did.
love watching the pod on YT compared to listening to it on apple podcasts, love seeing the reactions and expressions from the boys
Loved Mick's interview. What a guy.
Best Interview! Loved his honesty.
10/10 interview! Great job fellas
Re: Attendance
It is just too expensive to go to games, especially in Canada. Never mind the fact ppl are just straight up hurting due to inflation.
In 2023 an equivalent of 20% of the population uses the Food Banks.
Such an entertaining episode fellas, Vukota is a gem...great stuff.
This guy was an awesome interview!
My favourite interview in a long time.
Biz calling everyone Uncle has me in tears 😂
Great interview. Mick is a great story teller
The interviews with the older guys r so much better then any with the newer guys
This guy! Great interview!
Holy shit boys, Game notes announcement, Frozen Frenzy, and a new Chiclets Pod? What did we do to deserve this? Let’s f*cking go!
This is by far one of the best interviews ever you guys have done! Mick Vukota was awesome…what a great dude with some amazing stories!
I live in Winnipeg and the cheapest seats are usually 100ish a game, don’t know where you guys are getting the 28 bucks, if they were that much I would for sure go more
Been following the Islanders since I seen them win the 4 cups as a kid. Hearing that Vukota and Pilan pulled the trigger on a mission to get Hunter even if AL killed it makes me feel better after never getting any kind of retribution after all these years. Dang.
Old time hockey stories always great
Loved the story about Gordie Lane! Crazy
Loved the interview, Mick was a great guest..funny stories.
Always knew the name but had never heard him interviewed until recently, Mick is hilarious.
What a great interview!
Rent costs have gone up 23% since last year ie. 1250$ a month for a 1 bedroom apartment. The average person is spending 450$ a month to eat. Parking can cost anywhere from 2-3 dollars an hour downtown. You're looking at anywhere from 30-50$ to eat to support downtown businesses, not to mention what you pay at the arena. And all of this is if you are going by yourself
my favourite guest of all time besides the great one
Hilarious interview!! Thanks guys!!
excellent. Mick was great. As a life long Islander fan, the stories were relateable. Thank you for this entertaining show. Mike
Mick is a beauty. Such a storyteller!
Whit with the hangover shades on
Can’t wait for biz to start providing food after his hunts for you all lol
Ian Bagg is from my hometown Terrace in northern BC. I have seen him plug Spittin Chicleys when he is a guest on bug podcasts like your moms house. He would be a legendary guest
Great interview, lmao. One of your best. Great pick boys.
Hearing Biz talk about hunting was hilarious! Keep it up Biz.
Love the old school guys this is so good 🔥
yes! Get Ian bagg on the pod!!
Wings on fire! LGRW
Wiki has Pasta listed at 7’6”, 345 lbs. What a unit!
interviews with the old heads are wayyyy better than with current players
Guys from Saskatchewan can really throw 'em
Best. Interview. EVER!!!!
Greatest duck segment lol 😂 can’t wait for todays episode
this interview had me laughing from start to finish. Outstanding!
Great interview.
Oh that was a delifht. Especially teh story about his last professional game
No way!! I was just thinking about when you guys would interview mick vukota, I always like him as an enforcer and was super happy when my team Montreal acquired him in 98 for some toughness
Vukota was my favorite player when he played for Spokane.
Biz with the shout out to Mel Lastman, NOOOOBooddyy!
Very well timed question about the tuck rule game, RA!
Agreed great interview!!
Frustrating to hear these guys just blame Jets fans and not really dig a little deeper. I’m looking on Gametime right now, an hour before tonight’s jets/blues game and the cheapest ticket is 44$. I’m a bombers season ticket holder and it’s 250$ for 10 games. Thanks too, Whit, for shitting on the CFL. You don’t like one rule, so yea the whole league must be a joke. I’m a huge fan of the show and always will be, but honestly these guys sound like they’ve forgotten what it’s like to have average money. Like, they’re going from being like ‘should I build a pickle ball court on my at my mansion?’ To telling the average person they’re being greedy and not “paying back” the jets for signing players. It’s a hockey team, it’s your job to sign players. Not to mark up local beers to $14 a can. No spit, no lube, sandpaper finish. Winnipeg is a blue collar town and our average income is among the lowest in the country (something I’m sure Whit would love to poke fun at, too). TNSE has jacked up the prices for everything to the point where it’s unaffordable for so many people. And the in game experience ain’t great either. Players love playing in Vegas on the road, place is rockin. Why would the in game experience not matter for fans, just cause they’re Canadian? Come on boys. I’ll always listen to the show, and I’ll support the jets as much as I can, but it’s getting pretty tough listening to all these rich fucks blame the average person shit that’s out of our control. Maybe these guys will come to the Peg for a game (and a bomber game too, for a contrast of fan experience. IG Field is unbeatable). It’s a tough town, so Whit will probably hate it and shit all over it, but at least they’ll have a better perspective of what it’s like to be a Winnipeg fan.
Biz out there trying to CATCH elk is hilarious! 😂 Keep it up, you'll figure it out. Find a good mentor to show ya the ropes, gun safety, shot placement, animal habits etc.
I could listen to this guy all night. Sad when it ended.
nice to see that Whit can have the awareness to understand what its like to be an average joe in a terrible economy and ridiculous inflation and not just speaking from a professional athletes point of view. 👏
Nystrom would be awesome!!
Great stories!
Utah is one of the wealthiest states in the US with a top 5 economy, GIVE US A TEAM TO SUPPORT.
"any of those shots make you smell like a keg of beer"- haha gotta love Al Arbour
More dudes like this please
Boys, top notch episode.
Top Notch. Was crying laughing when Bizz talked about Michael Rasmussen and said oh just another diamond in the ruff 6th round pick next Zetterberg !!!!
Biz is convinced that every team makes the playoffs lol it’s hilarious
Everytime they talk about Cole Eiserman I keep thinking they're saying "Yzerman." It's like if someone had a last name "Krawsbee"
Idk if Gametime is showing in Canadian currency yet, I know they said they’d do that eventually. So that 28 bucks is probably not accurate.
Not to mention 28 bucks to sit in the nose bleeds, nah, I’ll stay home and watch it on tv, and use that “28 bucks” toward my case of beer which is now inflated to almost $60. Canada is expensive AF rn boys.
