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.

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.
JD first heard you in Toronto Mike a few months ago. Because of that I tune in to listen to you everyday. Love your heart for our city
Thanks so much for summing up your feelings and thoughts about Game 5. I couldn’t agree more. Let’s win Game 7!

The show delivers fast-paced, opinionated sports analysis with a Toronto focus, spanning hockey, baseball, and basketball. Across recent episodes, the conversation often centers on the Maple Leafs, Blue Jays, and Canadiens, with deep dives into coaching, front-office moves, player development, and draft strategy. A signature element is strong host-to-guest banter—balancing hot takes with expert insight from recognized analysts and former players—along with occasional cross-sport pivots and fan engagement bits. The format tends to mix tactical breakdowns (roster construction, player adjustments, cap considerations) with culture and narrative around markets like Toronto and Montreal, making it a good fit for listeners who want bold opinions a... more
