JD starts with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s home-run derby victory. Then, Sportsnet's Raptors reporter Michael Grange joins JD to give his first impressions on Victor Wembanyama, before diving into the Raptors relationship dynamics, what's looming with Pascal Siakam, and what he's seen  from the Raptors rookies at Summer League (06:00). Later, James Sharman, Head of Content and Senior Producer at Room 442, joins JD to discuss the state of Canada's senior men's national program,  if John Herdman should still be manager heading into the 2026 World Cup,  and the importance of the women's national team having a strong performance in the upcoming World Cup (33:30). In the podcast-only portion of the show, the gents rank the home-run derby among all-star events from other sports, before adding to the conversations on how the Raptors reached this fork in the road.
