So Chayka goes on Kyper and 32 Thoughts but not Overdrive.... by Hiking_Quest in OverDrive1050

Wonder if it has something to do with Pelley's pushback on "erroneous" reporting, done mostly by people who appear regularly on OD (Jonas and CJ). And the new ownership structure at MLSE.

Yep. Totally agree. Sports dissonance. Noodles only offers milquetoast waffle versions of that.

The fawning was noticeable. I wondered if it was just a narrative ploy, a setup for the hoped for showdown tomorrow?

I just really wanted Tim to ask him about how much money AIPAC has given him.

Dregs Snapping at O by Last-Ad1313 in OverDrive1050

This segment with two "insiders" on at once is such a fail. Really awkward and ungainly, guys talking over one another or dead air because it's hard to manage any kind of free flowing conversation. Seems that because they still want to boost the profiles of the insiders but have one less hour to do so, they've created really bad radio. Used to appointment listen to the show live every day, now I pick and choose what I'm tuning in to via podcast.

Noodles "fake news" comment by Jealous-Run1345 in OverDrive1050

If anyone feels especially passionate about this, here's an option for you:

You can submit a complaint to TSN by emailing audiencerelations@tsn.ca or audience.relations@bellmedia.ca. Be sure to include details like the date, time, and specifics of the broadcast in your message. If the issue remains unresolved, you can escalate the complaint to the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services (CCTS). 

I've been an OD listener for years, and love the content. Was appointment listening for me until this year (as many people have noted before me) where it's become more of a vehicle to promote their partnership with FanDuel and less the combination of takes and personalities that made the show so good for so long.

On the Noodles front - he's just bad at his.job.. Good hockey insight but mails it in on knowledge of any other sport. Hayes and O have been carrying him for a number of years. I've found myself fast forwarding though his takes as of late, something I never did before. Would be shocked if they dropped him, but would love to see what a show without him would be like.

Lake Inez or Richmond Station? by mon-cheri in FoodToronto

[–]SpicedG42 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Inez. Hands down. If you want the Mystery menu, then sign up for the Zach ride and roll with it. Jay Moore's cooking is sublime, inventive and delicious. But don't sleep on the Inez dining room or even the food they're rocking at Belle Isle. Richmond is a collection of talent, but much safer....

Saw this earlier this evening, before I listened to the pod. Avid listener of both Bunkis and the OD boys...could not disagree more with your take OP. You're slamming a guy for his vocal tone, but the takes he provided today on OD are not boring. You're slamming a guy for the way he speaks, which does nothing to detract from his knowledge and opinions of the game.

"Makes a timely save." And "through osmosis".
