  • Brent Gunning has to go

    Ben is amazing. I only listen to the show when Brent is off as I find him overwhelming and agitating.

    Please replace Brent with Sam McKee or another host and I will listen regularly.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NBA Playoffs Preview + Blue Jays Slow Start
Q: What do you think is the key matchup in Raptors-Cavs series?
The key matchup is how the Raptors can slow down Cleveland's perimeter and defend the three with mix-and-match lineups, while executing improvements on defense and hitting timely threes to stay competitive.
Jeff Hoffman’s Future in the Ninth with Jon Morosi
Q: Is it time for the Blue Jays to move off Jeff Hoffman in the ninth inning?
The consensus leans toward not making an immediate change, citing other viable bullpen options like Varland and Rogers and the need for rotation stability to avoid creating more chaos, with a possibility of a closer-by-committee approach.
NHL Playoffs Get Underway + Blue Jays' Direction with Jon Morosi
Q: What should the Blue Jays prioritize in the short term to stabilize the season?
Focus on winning series to climb closer to .500, manage injuries smartly, and rely on depth players while key bats return, then reassess at the deadline regarding upgrades.
NHL Front Office Moves + Brian Anderson!
Q: Brian, how would you assess the current state of the Blue Jays' rotation depth early in the season?
Brian Anderson explains that while the Jays have depth on paper, injuries and early-season adjustments have created some challenges, but there's optimism due to their talent and likely rebound as players settle in.
Blue Jays Struggles + Rory at the Masters
Q: What makes Rory McIlroy unique among today's golf stars?
Shipnuck highlights Rory's humanity, vulnerability, and openness as what sets him apart from other legends; his ability to connect with fans and stay relatable despite immense success drives his enduring appeal.
