People love to focus on the spectacular ending of Dean's time at 102.1 The Edge in Toronto but it what people fail to recognize is how hard you have to work to achieve an elongated and popular run as a morning radio host in Toronto. Dean worked his ass off to build an audience which has translated into what is now a podcast network in 2021.We shout-out my father in law Brad for his bday all he wanted was an Iron Maiden t-shirt plus have you heard Gilbert Gottfried's rendition of 'WAP' by Cardi B?

I was about 15 years old when Ashley MacIsaac had a fiddle tune in the top 10 popular music charts in Canada. He shot to fame with a previously unseen look in the roots music community - combat boots and sunglasses. While his ride has been rocky at times, at heart he's a charismatic Cape Bretoner with lots of stories to tell and fiddle tunes to write. I also break out an original of my own, for the bagpipes, to get Ashley's opinion on it.

Up until 2013 I had lived myself without any regrets. Whenever there was a fork in the road I was always 100% sure I'd taken the right path. Leaving these buddies and the City of Hamilton behind was the first time that I wasn't sure if I'd made the right life decision. I still think so fondly about the 2011-2013 era of Y108 and the great vibe we had in the hallways of the radio station and notorious nature of our posse on the streets. Ben McVie, Chuck Evans, Scott Penfold, Nick Cino.
