Toronto Appreciation Nite

Baby Blue Movie: SkyDome Window Show


Listen Later

Welcome to the weekly show that talks about Toronto's memes, teams and past scenes. Pull up a chair and have a laugh with us!

00:00:01 Dan's Toronto Past Scenes: This week involves the raunchy history of the Toronto Blue Jays, and one Toronto Sun story from 2014 that gives a reaaaally outside the box take, on how we can turn a losing season around.

Your story clue: “I guess you could say the story this week, is really organ centric.”

00:13:40 : THE TEMPO Are Doing Things Every Other Toronto Team Wish They Could:  Our roadtrip movie montage wish for the Tempo is coming true, and we notice how the Tempo has that certain something, you’d like to sprinkle across Toronto sports.

00:24:45 : BLUE JAYS CURSED? “There’s a game this week that proves the Jays have been cursed by a witch” There’s a game that haunts Dan from this week, and why he thinks the record should be better, despite all the petting of the injury drama llama.

00:32:20 : BLUE JAYS BRIDESMAID PARADE:  Did the Blue Jays accidentally dodge a massive bullet this offseason? We discuss a recent Jays Journal article that takes a look at 4 off season signings we didn’t land, that we should be happy about (so far). 

00:37:15 : LEAFS DATA DUDES AND SLIDE DECK MOODS: Coaching chaos, offseason panic, and the annual tradition of convincing ourselves this year will be different with the Leafs taking a look at one of the gents from last week’s TorontoAN coaching picks. 

00:39:34 : PWHL FIRST CANADIAN CHAMP: We wanted the Charge, we won’t lie, or at least a game five, but hey there’s one positive Toronto connection this week! 

00:40:53 - Is the PWHL’s Takeover Tour Becoming a Bad Look? -  Expansion money is exploding, valuations are skyrocketing, and women’s hockey suddenly looks like one of the smartest investments in sports BUT when two out of four expansion choices, aren’t from a branded takeover tour that dangled expansion hopes, should the Mark Walter group and the marketing team sit down and rethink the comms strat?

00:54:55 - WE DO NOT AGREE ON KAWAI - Should the Raptors retire Kawhi’s number? Dan takes Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady’s side that it’s a hard NO, but our own Vince flips a table and tells us all where to park our opinions - and it’s not a green P. 

01:08:27 : FAN SERVICE - “A TV CREW STOPPED A TORONTO HEIST?!?”: AN NBA trailer made a tv oopsie appearance leading fans to scream “NBA conspiracy!” the Blue Jays broadcast crew chased down a downtown thief, and do Buffalo fans even feel pain at this point? 

01:13:11  - “NBA PLAYERS DON’T COMPLETELY HATE TORONTO!” : We dive on into the Athletic’s anon NBA player poll, and talk the findings we find more interesting than others.

01:24:11 “UNDER APPRECIATED/OVER APPRECIATED” Collared shirts for work, Ant’s dap-gate, your high school coach, and that anonymous NBA player poll we just spent 10 minutes on is kinda problematic tbh.

Turns out, we’re split on whether the purple Barney Raptors days need to come back immediately. And finally, we need to make home and away jerseys AN ACTUAL THING AGAIN. We’re looking at you NBA! 

01:40:00 - The Appreciation Parade

Our weekly final segment brings the appreciation.

Vince talks about a Toronto trade that keeps on giving, and we finally found the perfect theme night for grumpy old man Dan.

That’s the whole ball of wax kids, thanks for listening, share wherever you share things, say hello on threads or x, and we’ll see ya next week when Meagan returns!
