Another week hanging out with, the Teams, Memes and past scenes of Toronto! Take a listen.

00:00:03 - STORYTIME: MADONNA VS. TORONTO THE GOOD

This week Dan Speerin takes us back to a time when Toronto's Morality Squad aimed their nonsense at the queer community and Madonna. But it also shaped Dan’s whole view of Canada being “not cool”.

What shaped your view of Toronto?

00:17:45 - Vince Kesavamoorthy shares his immigrant story of escaping a civil war, only to find snow in May, and a Blue Jays team about to repeat, all of this was a part of his cultural “Welcome to Canada”.

00:24:00 - FANS ARE DONE WITH TORONTO BARS NOT PLAYING THE TEMPO

The Tempo are building something special, but fans keep running into the same problem: why isn't my local bar playing them?

00:34:30 - THE BLUE JAYS ARE CURSED BY A WITCH (HEAR ME OUT)

Vince remains hopeful for the season, but the prosecution would like to submit several exhibits into evidence, that we were cursed by a witch.

00:42:30 - LEAFS FANS HAVE BECOME THE EX WHO CAN'T LET GO

Every Mitch Marner success, turns Toronto into someone refreshing their ex's Instagram at 2 a.m. We discuss why the conversation is getting weird, and why the larger Vegas success story deserves a whole lot more attention than Marner buuut that would involve Canadians reflecting and discussing the Hockey Canada scandal.

00:50:20 - DAN'S SCEPTRE COACHING CHOICE TO KEEP A FAMILY TOGETHER

Dan was calling for Toronto to go with a woman coach, from day one and now it might be finally happening. We give our picks!
 

01:02:25 - TORONTO VS USA SPORTS VOTERS 

Scottie Barnes thinks being left off the NBA All-Defensive Team was nonsense. Vince lays out the case and Dan proposes a weird sports-media electoral college system because American voters still don't seem particularly interested in watching Toronto teams. From Dave Stieb to Scottie Barnes, it's an old sports problem and we want it fixed. 

01:10:05 - SHAI, FLOPPING, AND A BOARD GAME DRAMA THAT COULD BE A WINDOW TO OUR AI FUTURE

A board game satire, pokes fun at Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for flopping. So Shai lawyered up. The internet reacts exactly how you'd expect, but Vince thinks Shai has a case, while Dan talks about how this could be a window into our AI hellscape future, but he's not on Shai's side, for comedy protection. It’s one of the strangest sports stories of the week.

01:19:00  - THE NBA’S FAVOURITES FETISH, IS BAD FOR JOURNALISM

Will the future of sports journalism just become influencer fandoms? The one NBA playoff ruling that paves the way for propaganda over journalism.

OVER/UNDER APPRECIATED - 01:23:33
 

01:23:43 - DOES HOME ICE EVEN MATTER ANYMORE?!

Montreal fans booed their own team, for their disappointing play at home. We debate whether home ice advantage is the most over appreciated advantage in sports.
 

01:10:40 - BAD VIBES - IS ROGERS STADIUM CAUSING EARTHQUAKES?

Rogers Stadium concert noise, is still shaking nearby homes. Is it NIMBY whining, or legitimate concerns? A story that involves the phrase “sound absorption system” as we try to remember what Bill Nye taught us. 


1:30:34 - THE BLUE JAYS CAUSED A WEIRD "ONLY IN 2026 SENTENCE" INVOLVING "AI WORSHIP WALK UP MUSIC"

What timeline is this? We explain how somewhere along the way we took a wrong turn with Dalton Varsho and we would like everyone to stop and consider what we've unleashed upon society.

01:32:51 - THE APPRECIATION PARADE

Our two moments of appreciation this week involve Spongebob cast members and broadcasters to checks notes BE IN THE ARENA.

Enjoy the show and say hi on threads!
