  • 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.

Kawhi Leonard Update & Around the NHL with Michael Traikos

Kawhi Leonard Update & Around the NHL with Michael Traikos
Q: You had enough Marner discussion? You wanna delve in?

Blue Jays Salvage the Series Finale with Jensen Lewis
Q: How close is Shane Bieber to being a playoff-worthy starter again?
Jensen argues Bieber has shown a clear trajectory back toward effectiveness, with a strong strike-throwing approach, improved secondary weapons, and longevity in his starts, suggesting he could be a viable playoff option for contending teams.
Blue Jays Feuds, LeBron in Philly & Death of LIV with Joe House
Q: Is LIV Golf's team concept viable in the long term, or is it doomed to fail like some of their other experiments?
Joe House argues that while team golf can work in formats like the Ryder Cup, a full-season, tour-wide team concept is unlikely to succeed without a compelling, stable platform and TV deal, suggesting LIV's current model is not sustainable.
State of the Blue Jays with Jon Morosi
Q: What is the current assessment of the Blue Jays' season and what moves should they consider at the trade deadline?
The Jays have to weigh short-term gains against long-term value, with a focus on maintaining a strong culture and reputation while potentially trading some established veterans for younger, controllable assets to strengthen the core for next year.
