I have been listening to JD since the “Good Show” days. My favourite episodes are the “Good Hour” ones with Ben Ennis but I listen to all of this podcast. Honest, hilarious, and relatable takes on Toronto and Canadian sports. Did you know he’s from the Yukon?!
The Jays are having a historically bad year and perhaps so are the podcasts that should be the top of the game. Too often these conversations of people talking over each other so you hear absolutely nothing. Even worse, there seems to be no plan or outline as they suggest one idea and then refute a couple of sentences later with no recall of what they just said! This is the tweedledum and tweedledee of jays podcasts.
If you enjoy early-middle-age guys who are obsessed with seeming young, sound perpetually annoyed and pissy, talk down to everyone and come off like they think they’re the smartest people in the room… then “jump on” and “chop it up” with the King of Hot Takes. When JD avoids all that b.s. he’s actually quite insightful.
Disappointed in JD’s anti Olympic hockey take. Feels like he really moves as the wind blows… Update: While I don’t like some aspects of the show, I do think that JD is relatable - and I’m bumping my rating to five stars because I agree with every single word of his take on Ovie’s chase of Gretzky. Show is at its best when JD has a co-host like Ben or Blake to provide contrast. Love the bit about snooze on alarm clocks. // Original review: I listen to this show in part because JD often has great ... more
JD hosts a fantastic show with informed guests, relevant discussion and great energy. Superb coverage of The Jays this season and always great stuff with The Leafs.

A fast-paced weekday sports discussion show that blends in-depth analysis of the Toronto Blue Jays with broader pro and college sports chatter, cross-sport narratives, and media/fan culture. Episodes regularly feature MLB insiders, pitchers and hitters, and cross-sport voices, with a strong emphasis on roster moves, playoffs, and the business of sports. The format often combines sharp opinion, expert context from guests, and candid banter between two hosts, delivering timely takes on games, trades, and headlines for a Toronto-area audience. A notable edge is the mix of traditional baseball discussion with NBA/NFL conversations and investigative journalism angles on sports narratives, which can offer unique angles for sponsors and guests ali... more
