- Marek !
Marek is “great” for long form shows (like The Sheet) as he can talk to himself as much as he wants to. He has ruined the DFO flow; every time he joins Jason here I skip the show. His love of 10,000 words when 100 would do is frustrating. Rupp has been okay. But.. Frank ? Can he come back ? Marek HAS to go !

Apple Podcasts2JPfromNSCanada6 months ago - Co-host needs work
I like Jason’s look at sports but his co hosts are not helping him at all. Marek and his Ron MacLean like stories just kill all momentum of the podcast. And the boot licking, he does to NHL executives and never has an opinion that is less than favourable for a player. all so he can remain a guy they may reply to a text.
Apple Podcasts1Kabob22Canada6 months ago - New hosts the good & the bad
I’ve been a loyal listener to the show since around episode 80. As much as I miss Frank on the show I really do like both Marek & Rupper. They each bring different things to the table from Mikes playing days insight and Mareks experience in the media world. Jason has always been alright. A little bit too serious but he’s alright keep up the good work Jason. I enjoy the Gregor/Rupp Friday show a little more only because Gregor/Marek both being longtime hosts tends to clash with both attempting to... more
