There’s a scene in the BlackBerry movie (I rented it of Amazon) where Jim Balsillie, played by “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Glenn Howerton, goes off on the NHL board over a decision he does not like.
It’s a full-blown meltdown with a bizarre line thrown in there that sticks in the back of your mind because it’s so strange but not too out of character because it almost fits Howerton’s character to go off like that.
Tyler picked up on this line immediately as it was an easter egg referring to a video that went viral 11 years ago.
The director was born and raised in Toronto, where this interview took place, so it was probably an in-joke as a wink to his fellow Canadians. So now you know.
