4.6 out of 5 stars from 33 ratings
  • Podcasting excellence

    I enjoy Connor’s dry humour and Shawn’s chipper morning vibes. Insightful Habs commentary. I skip the rest because Im a one sport guy but great pod overall.

  • Good show but not updated daily

    Love the show, however there is not much of it in the podcast. The whole show should be on and the fact that it is not updated daily is very frustrating.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 4 - Friday 07/17/26
Q: What golf bag should I buy for travel around $100?
Advice suggested affordable options exist but recommended considering Marketplace for secondhand or saving for a hard-shell bag; if not possible, dismantle and pack clubs with heads separated to prevent damage.
Hour 2 - Friday 07/10/26
Q: Is this the best World Cup you've ever watched?
Both hosts and Simon agree it's up there, citing the presence of top stars delivering consistently, with Mbappe, Messi, and others making a case for the tournament being the best in recent memory.
Jason Maas: Proud Of Alouettes Team Toughness
Q: Coach, how different is it when you have a bye week early in the season compared to later in the year?
Maas notes that early byes come after a full camp and rough travel early in the schedule, serving as a reset; later byes are about managing roster health and balancing rest with the season's accumulated wear.
Hour 3 - Hockey Hall of Very Good? and Chris Stevenson TSN1200 Ottawa
Q: Chris, good morning. How are you doing?
Chris Stevenson responds with a warm greeting, confirms his hometown connection to Montreal, and sets up the discussion about Brady Kachuk and the Senators, highlighting the trade activity and what the picks could mean for Ottawa.
Hour 2 - Marco D'Amico and Darren Dreger join to talk NHL player movement!
Q: Marco, let's start with asking you a very generic question. Just one of the deals that you really, really liked yesterday and for which squad?
Marco emphasized Bowen Byron's move to Chicago as a value-forward trade that addressed multiple needs, including creating room for a potential top-six forward and the strategic use of futures with an eye toward flexibility for future deals.
