Love this show and enjoy the thoughtful and critical analysis, even if you’re a passionate Leafs and Jays fan at heart. Can’t believe Leafs Talk was cancelled (presumably by a bean counter at Rogers or some thin skinned suit at MLSE). Your show is great ENTERTAINMENT and always interesting, which is what “the Fan” should be all about. Best analysis in the whole business, and my favourite Sportsnet personality (Sam is #2).
Last point - If JD’s podcast is ever cancelled (like Leafs Talk) I’m swit... more
Mitch Marner left the team two years ago. Since than; every single hockey themed episode JD brings him up. Get over it loser
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.

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.

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.
