The Jay & Dan Podcast

Dan has hot tub troubles…and takes us back in time to revisit his month long vacation Hot Tub Time Machine style.  EDM Dan is joined by DJ Ryan Shepherd to discuss music festival life.  Friend of the pod, Jim Pearl who travelled to Europe with Dan, calls in to talk coffee houses, ducking bicycles and the seedy red light district…and of course Dan’s bathroom rankings.  Jonathan Torrens tells us what it’s like to host the O’Tooles, and we can all learn a lot from Copper the horse,

Comedian Brent Butt joins the pod from his game room to teach us how to pronounce ‘garage’, talks about his first comedy special and describes what its like to get animated.  Engineer Jim takes us down memory lane with a story of his involvement on a long lost album.  

Jay opens the podcast with a very special message. Its the Bahds of The Pod edition of the show as we are joined by NFL Network’s Peter Schrager who once again proclaims his love for 90’s goalies, does his impression of Dan and shouts out “Doc” Cherry. Mike Botticello, now of the No Chill Podcast, catches up with Jay and shares his motto on life (catch it before it changes). AND; we have another MASSIVE announcement regarding the fall tour! Hear It Now!

As Dan continues his EDM fuelled tour of the world, Jay settles in for a Klatt chat! Friend of the Pod and Football Analyst for Fox Sports Joel Klatt catches up with Jay, talks about his start in the business and tells us quite the tale from his minor league days. TSN 1050’s Michael Landsberg joins the podcast to reveal his secret second life, chat mental health and lie about reading Jay’s books.

Jay gives an update on Dan’s vacation and calls BS on all the reporting that went around prior to the Kawhi news breaking. Raptors Play By Play announcer Matt Devlin joins the pod to break down Leonard’s decision, its impact on the league and the future of the Raptors. TSN 1050’s Professional Uncle Matthew Cauz is back with his Summer Wine List!

With Dan skipping town Jay dives right into the “JayCentre TradeCentre Special”. TSN Hockey Insider Pierre Lebrun is on his way to the cottage after a long day’s work at TSN…and he’s also on the Jay and Dan Podcast breaking down all the deals. We go cross country looking at the impact of each move, recall how deals unfolded and discuss who the real winners were. Taking full advantage of Dan’s vacation, Ben Teller makes an un-timed appearance (likely the last) and asks Would You Rather?

Dan can hardly wait for his vacation to begin after being accused of being a robot-lover at a local grocery store, while Jay recaps their outing to the Argos game/Arkells concert. Broadcasting legend Jim Van Horne joins the pod to discuss how TSN got started, shares some incredible industry stories and spreads awareness about bladder cancer.

The boys plan their upcoming night out (with or without Producer Tim), Jay’s neighbourhood is overrun by wild animals and the ladies keep blowing up Dan’s phone. TSN Play By Play Legend Rod Black joins the podcast to discuss the Raptors Championship Parade; the uplifting celebration, what could have been planned better and the scary events that almost ruined the day. He also reveals something about Leo and shares that he almost had a career in adult film.

Jay recaps the shows previewed at CTV Up Front, Dan survives a home invasion and the boys discuss (bleeping) and (bleeping) on Speakers Corner. TSN Basketball Analyst Jack Armstrong returns to the pod to recap how the Raptors fell short in Game 5, discuss the crowds reaction to the Durant injury, and comment on the growth of basketball in Canada. Shout out to the Toilet Bowl Cleaners!

Dan is not pleased with the weather, Jay reacts to beer in corners stores and the boys do a bit of housekeeping (answering your mail!). TSN SportsCentre Host Kayla Grey joins the guys to talk about the Raptors playoff run, what it’s like covering the Finals for eTalk and her experience working on the Amazing Race. Ben Teller races the clock to annoy Dannnnnnnnnnnn…
