  • 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.

Leafs Direction with Frank Seravalli + Blue Jays Extensions
Q: What is the biggest off-season question for the Leafs according to Frank Seravalli?
The biggest question is how the team will navigate the cap space, trade value, and long-term commitments around star players like Matthews, while ensuring the plan has buy-in from the players and avoids being driven by panic moves rather than a clear, strategic rebuild or retool.
Yesavage Lands on the IL + Matthews Goes Under the Knife
Q: What was your reaction when you heard he was going to start the season on the IL?
The reaction was sadness about the uncertain timeline, with worry about how the rotation would be affected and who would step up in the meantime.
Leafs' Weekend + Blue Jays Contract Extensions with Jeff Blair
Q: Does the length of Atkins' five-year extension surprise you at all?
Blair says the length was a typical extension for the role and that it reflects a decision to lock in leadership once the front office was in a stable, successful posture after last season's results.
James Paxton on Representing Canada + Joe Bowen Celebrates St. Paddy’s!
Q: James, what does it mean to you to represent Canada at the World Baseball Classic and to see Canada advance through the pool?
Paxton talks about the pride of donning the Canada jersey again after many years and the special feeling of contributing to the team's progress, along with how this experience can inspire younger Canadian players.
Canada vs. USA Rivalry Renewed + Michael Grange's Raptors Report
Q: What did you make of the Jamal Murray incident and leadership on the Raptors?
Grange suggests the incident was odd and not a blanket indictment of the team's character; leadership on the Raptors is present but uneven, with players like Scotty Barnes stepping into leadership roles and other dynamics at play.
