    Typical disinterested and disengaged pod from J and J. Gave it another chance after they were terrible last season and nothing has changed.

  • Dumb Reviews

    Some of these reviews are absurd! This podcast is the best, and Jonas is the reason I joined the athletic in the first place. Great show with a smart approach to the game. I haven’t missed a show in 3 years. Anything Jonas is on is much watch, but I stay for James’ jokes!

  • Too Negative!

    I want to enjoy the podcast but there needs to be a better balance of negative and positive narratives.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Burnt out Maple Leafs searching for a solution
Q: Where do you think it goes from here?
I think that Berube gets to ride it out, hoping for improvement as we approach the trade deadline.
Burnt out Maple Leafs searching for a solution
Q: What's your answer for that?
This feels like the 18 Wheeler where the product and the fan base were fully on the same page and there didn't seem to be a lot of dissent.
Which Maple Leafs have been the most disappointing so far?
Q: Does he have the right personnel to do what he wants to do?
No, it appears there is a mismatch and they are struggling to implement their game plan efficiently at this moment.
Which Maple Leafs have been the most disappointing so far?
Q: Is it what Florida does? Is that what Berube is trying to do?
Florida is a heavy team that capitalizes on mistakes without deviating from their game plan, contrasting with Toronto's current struggles.
Which Maple Leafs have been the most disappointing so far?
Q: How do you see that breaking down? Why isn't it working what Craig Berube is trying to do with this team?
In order to play the style of hockey that the Leafs want to play, they need the right personnel, which seems mismatched currently.
