O'dog repeatedly saying he would quit the show if told to return to the office/studio-- I could never tell if he was serious or not

He is consistently back at the studio for hockey games which would make that awfully dumb lol

Just completely non sensical things.
They should move a game later this month outdoors because it’s the afternoon game kids attend so they don’t have to reduce capacity to 50%.
They were talking Kase and Bunting. She complained leafs sign these bargains they succeed and then we lose them. Her examples were Thornton and some one else who was useless for us.
Any way just everything she said was crazy. She’s clearly passionate and has a great voice. But not so logical. Sounds like leafs lunch is all the better with the new team. The only time I have heard her is when she guests on Overdrive
The more I listen to 32 Thoughts the more I see the two (mainly Elliotte) talk out of both sides out of their mouths. "Everything is on the table, league is heading to a shut down." ..." I had someone tell me not to be surprised if they play on". Uh ok?
They spend more time (again mainly Elliotte) blabbering on about their "sources" and how they couldn't possibly reveal any. I'm aware the overwhelming majority of these "insiders" are full of it, that's the job, I get it. But things have got quite repetitive with the "a GM" or "player told me" stuff every other sentence. The podcast can be fun when the two are speculating about where certain players could end up around the deadline, but as of now they're taking themselves way too seriously.
I can't handle Marek's fake laugh anymore either, I've heard him on Chiclets a few times too where he showed a completely different personality that was fresh to see.

Yes, since he works the World Juniors now he gets a week or 2 off before they start.

Frank Corrado off to a fine start, the anti Carlo lol, great vocabulary and comfortable smooth delivery of his ideas. Would enjoy him getting a regular spot on Leaf lunch. More Frank, much less of the Bar down people please.

Did he just recently get hired by TSN or was it just a one off?
Just curious because he was really good on the SDP so I wonder if that exposure helped lead him to that gig.

Not sure, I sense that it’s a tryout/fillin thing right now. He’s been really strong where ever I’ve heard him. I hope that he gets a regular gig soon preferably on leaf lunch.

I think without a doubt that Friedman has a direct line to the league front office and is their trusted man in the media to distribute the information in the way the league wishes to spin it.
Friedman's become a corporate lackey ever since moving to Rogers. I used to think he was the best in the business, even over Bobby Mac and Dreger, but now I couldn't be bothered to listen to him.
Used to be good sure but I think its pushing it to be better than Bobby Mac.
O dog is replaceable - Just like everyone else - Someone should tell him that.

Yea, they actually are. They took down Bob McCown before it was all said and done. That's an enormous feat.

Marek started at the Fan over 20+ years ago as Spider Jones' producer (as Gentleman Jeff). Elliot Friedman was there on that team as well - that's where the "Freidge" nickname originated. They cut their teeth on Spider Jones' late night show. Marek has toned down his personality a ton but he's very knowledgeable with MMA, wrestling and hockey.
Marek was very good on LAW (Live Audio Wrestling) with Dan Lovranski and Jason Agnew (who now has a Sunday AM show on NewsTalk 1010).
Cool to see how these guys evolved.

Man, Spider Jones - as a kid I would fall asleep listening to him. Still remember when he had some wrestler on who jokingly kept hitting on him on the show and Spider (a former champion boxer) and he got into an actual fistfight live.

As an outsider who loves to listen Toronto sports radio podcasts, I miss Scott MacArthur. Overdrive is the only show worth listening nowdays.

Rogers took down McCown on their own. Lol. He was still drawing more the Overdrive when the idiots in charge decided they could do without him.

Hayes is the best sports radio host in Toronto by a country mile. He's arguably the best in the whole country.
I urge people in this thread to try and listen to other sports radio stations in Canada. They are almost unlistenable. The hosts are terrible.
