The Sunday Evening Jam: Misheard Lyrics, Milestones, and Music That Matters

What happens when wildfire smoke, dogwood fluff, and satellite Hip hits collide? You get a very Sunday kind of chaos — and the perfect atmosphere for another live episode of The Sunday Evening Jam with jD and Sara J.

This week’s theme? Misheard lyrics. But before we got to mondegreens and grandma’s weed, we shared updates on ALS fundraising, reflected on Music @ Work’s 25th, and shouted out Discovering Downie’s anniversary coverage of The Grand Bounce. There was laughter, love, live show memories, and at least three Jeffs. Maybe more. Hard to say.

And then… we got wacky.

Episode Summary

• 🧠 Discovering Downie gets some well-earned praise and podcast crossplay

• 🎁 Auction preview: A rare photo donation from longtime Hip photographer Richard Beland
• 🧠 Mental health check-ins, tribute notes to Matty, and a community that gives a damn

Why It Matters

This was one of those Jams that meandered — in the best possible way. From wildfire fundraisers to family shout-outs, from lyrical “wtf”s to emotional Hip history, the show stayed rooted in what matters most: the people. The fandom. The stories. The songs.

Sara J and jD held it down with heart and humour, and once again proved why Sunday nights feel like home for Hip fans across the country (and around the world).
