Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brunt: I think Jays are a Playoff Team
Q: What can you tell us about the latest project you're working on?
Brunt explains the documentary project around the Blue Jays' 50th season, including the team's history from its early days to the present, the collaboration with Sportsnet, and his role as writer and narrator, offering a sense of the show's behind-the-scenes scope.
Hour 4 - Friday 03/27/26
Q: Do you think McDavid will re-sign with Edmonton or could Montreal be in the mix?
No, I don't think he'll re-sign with Montreal; the player will maximize opportunities in the US market and pursue the best possible situation for his career and branding.
Hour 4 - Friday 03/27/26
Q: Aaron, have you ever used smelling salts before games and do you think they help or hurt you?
I used smelling salts before every game and even between periods; they give a quick energy boost, though there are concerns about long-term effects and potential testing in the league. Most players keep them handy as a routine part of preparation.
Hour 2 - Frankie Corrado joins as the Leafs start their search for a new GM
Q: Frankie, is any names popping up there, just in and around the Toronto area that might be front runners for that GM position?
Frankie mentions several names being floated, including Brandon Pridham and Mike Gillis, and notes the internal pressure to consider both external and internal options while evaluating fit and independence from past regimes.
Hour 3 - Stephen Brunt joins as Canada struggles against Tunisia + Arpon Basu on the Canadiens chances come playoff time
Q: What can this Canadiens team accomplish in the playoffs?
They could win a round or two, with a realistic ceiling of progressing beyond the first round, depending on the matchup and how their young core matures; the guests suggest the team has potential to become a perennial contender, though their current form is imperfect.
