Bruce: ---Since he�s got away from him, I think that this could be his big coming out party! I mean I think Steven Drake probably single-handedly held back the Tragically Hip. (pause) I did.
Terry: You did?
Bruce: I�ve always thought that. Yeah, I thought he doesn�t make great records. And I thought �-
Terry: And the Hip were always such a big, you know �-
Bruce: The Hip now are probably, their manager...That�s a bit, that�s a bit like closing the barn door after the horse, but I mean Heh!...their manager has been fired which is quite a big story in our industry---
Terry Mulligan: Yes!
Bruce Allen:...because AJ Gold and the Tragically Hip were a pair.
