(SCENE: ALEXEI PONIKAROVSKY and RYAN HOLLWEG are sitting on a pair of metal folding chairs in PONIKARVOSKY’S basement. Behind HOLLWEG’s chair is a life sized cardboard standup of NIK ANTROPOV. An old video camera is mounted on a tripod, filming the pair)
PONIKAROVSKY: Hallo and welcomes to Poni Super Awesome Sho that is Excellent. Thanks to trade deadline, there is no Antro (almost cries) so I need new cohost. Today I bring you Ryan Hollweg! HOLLWEG: Thanks for having me Poni, but uh, this Antro cut out is kinda creeping me out. It’s like the eyes just stare into your soul— PONIKAROVSKY: THERE’S NO MOCKING ANTRO! HOLLWEG: Look, I know you’re probably still hurting over the trade, but— PONIKAROVSKY: NEVER MIND! Now, what is it like on Marlies Squad? (into to Like a Boss--lyrics NSFW-- comes out of nowhere) HOLLWEG: Nothing special. PONIKAROVSKY: Is a typical day for Marlies like playing for the Leafs? HOLLWEG: Well, it’s pretty similar, but there are some differences. PONIKAROVSKY: like what? HOLLWEG: well, the first thing I do is…
Slick my hair back (Like a Boss!) With Bacon grease (Like a Boss!) Drink some coffee (Like a Boss!) Work my gluets (Like a Boss!) Mock Tlusty (Like a Boss!) Eat some pickles (Like a Boss!) Cross check old ladies (Like a Boss!) From behind (Like a Boss!) Hit on puck sluts (Like a Boss!) Get rejected (Like a Boss!) Baloney sandwich (Like a Boss!) Check my email (Like a Boss!)

Piss on some lady (Like a Boss!) Shoot myself (Like a Boss!) In the face (Like a Boss!) Now I’m dead!
PONIKAROVSKY: And this is normal day for you? HOLLWEG: Hell yeah PONIKAROVSKY: You piss on ladies and died? HOLLWEG: I’m Like a Boss! PONIKAROVSKY: Yea, you say dat like a thousand times. HOLLWEG: Like a Boss! PONIKAROVSKY: Schenn, get out here! (LUKE SCHENN appears and knocks HOLLWEG to the ground) SCHENN: You are now carrying my child.
(SCENE: ALEXEI PONIKAROVSKY, NIK ANTROPOV and DOMINIC MOORE are sitting on some folding chairs in ANTROPOV’s basement. A video camera is set up on a tripod filming them.) ANTROPOV: Hello! I am Nik Antropov! PONIKAROVSKY: An I is Alex Ponikarovsky! ANTROPOV: Welcome to Antrov and Poni Awesome Show that Is Good. PONIKAROVSKY: Why is your name first? All the time, “Antro and Poni” ANTROPOV: Dat’s how they do it in hockey, is by last names. PONIKAROVSKY: But by first names, Alexei comes before Nik. MOORE: Uh, guys... PONIKAROVSKY: Sorry.

To where? (sad face) ok. Ok. (hangs up) I’d traded to Rangers of New York. PONIKAROVSKY: Wha? Oh noes, it cants…(breaks down crying) ANTROPOV: Is ok Poni, I shell be Ranger of New York, which is better than being Ranger of Old York, with Chuck Norris. MOORE: Chuck Norris isn’t on the Rangers, that was just some dumb TV show! PONIKAROVSKY: You’s ruining moment (ANTROPOV starts bawling as well) ANTROPOV: I promised I wouldn’t cry… STAJAN(From backstage, which is a shower curtain): DAMMIT! Why do all my friends keep getting traded?! Fuck this! I’m going to Tim’s and getting some donuts! And then...somewhere to get a bottle of tequila! (Storms out of basement) (MOORE’s phone rings) MOORE: Hello? Yeah. To Buffalo?...oh. Ok. Uh, thanks. Yeah, I can be there. Ok. (MOORE hangs up, looks left and looks right, sneaks away from sobbing PONIKAROVSKY and ANTROPOV.) Buffalo can’t be that bad, can it?
But really, Rebel_Yell and Antrobot_80000, thanks for everything.
