“Sportsnet owes her a huge thank you for saving the fan morning show . JD the alcoholic was sinking it . Facts - Ailish was promoted to the hottest time slot and JD Butkis was limited to an hour because he’s so annoying and too hung over to do mornings.. winner!
CANT WAIT FOR THE LEAFS PREGAME...”Read full review »
“Ailish Forfar is fabulous. Tremendous talent at this genre. Such an endearing personality as well. Justin is a good foil but Ailish carries the show.”

“Also miss basketball content with substance….Toronto is not just hockey….will continue to listen because of Ailish. Thankfully I do not listen to this live, it would be too painful.”

“I’d say the wake and rake is the best part of the show. That’s pretty much the only part I can listen to. To me it feels like a hockey show. Justin just doesn’t have enough knowledge on basketball. Fans will mention a team or player and he’ll openly admit not knowing. I only listen during the...”Read full review »
“3 stars all for alish, she is amazing. Justin is boring, negative, doesn’t feel like he enjoys his job or sports really. Sounds like he’d rather sleep than watch sports. Disappointed they couldn’t find a stronger partner for alish. I gave it a solid try but JD & Blake/Ennis shows are a better...”Read full review »

“This show was one of the most pleasant parts of my day when Bunkis and Blake were co-hosts. Even with the addition of Ailish it was still a must listen for me everyday. But the current rendition of the show has become unbearable. After following it for a year and a half I have to unsubscribe....”Read full review »

“This show has become tired and bloated. There’s WAY too much hockey content, and basketball feels like an afterthought. On the morning after the raptors home opener, they had the nerve to say they buried the lead (an nhl story) after kicking it off with Raptors content. A winning Raptors opener...”Read full review »

“Unfortunately, I am unable to listen live, but I do make sure to listen to at least one hour of the the Podcasts everyday. I think Ailish and Justin trade analysis bits nicely and seem to listen to what the other is saying.
Spoiler alert: They get married and have 4 kids (one playing each of...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to the show for awhile now. And the dynamic that existed between the three of them, JD, Ailish and Blake was great. Even just JD and Ailish has been amazing.
It’s clear at times Ailish isn’t a experienced or as knowledgeable as JD so I haven’t enjoyed the Ailish hour as...”Read full review »

“Blake is the heart and soul of the show. Freakin beauty. I really loved good show but I’m still salty at JD for blocking me on Twitter after I disagreed with him on a boneheaded Ondrej Kase take. #promoteblake #firejd”
“not the best analysis. wandering conversations. boring “hot” takes (eg “if you don’t like fighting in hockey, then find another sport to watch”) its better to listen to one of the other shows as a podcast than listen to this show live. i tried to listen and tried to like it but it just isn’t very...”Read full review »
“If you’re a Toronto or Canadian sports fan, this show is must-listen. // I’m glad that the podcast is segmenting the gambling talk in predictable spots so it’s easy to skip for anyone who’s not inclined. // It would be great if in interviews the crew would try asking natural follow up questions...”Read full review »

“I used to try to listen live on the way to work or dropping the kids off at school. Now I don’t miss an insight or take with your podcasts and I love it. Plus, I continue to hold out hope that I will win Leafs tickets.”

“I used to be a big fan of JD and Ben but this new show is just JD talking as loud as he can to get his “spicy” take of the hour out. If JD takes a step back and lets Blake and Ailish have more of a voice the show would be much better. Ben grounded JD in the past and now the guy is unhinged with...”Read full review »

“Jd bunkis hates base ball. He pretends to like it. But it’s a lie. He just wants you to like him. I love baseball for real. Not like jd. Fake baseball fan jd bunkis, hating baseball since 1989”
“I have listened to the Fan every day for years and I just can’t get into these three
I loved JD on Good Show and like Blake’s knowledge
But not a fan of the chemistry of the three of them
In my opinion there is WAY too much gambling conversation”
“Have been listening to the fan for years and have been a big fan of JD since I first heard him. Blake and Ailish have been great additions to a regular spot on the Fan590. Each one of these personalities brings something different to the table and it just works!
This show hits all the spots. ...”Read full review »
“It’s a fun, daily listen, each host has their own insight into various topics and brings their own unique touch.
JD also seems like the kind of guy I’d like to play dice with in a garage some time.”
“I excited refresh my feed every morning waiting the new episodes.
The hosts provide well balanced information and opinions.
JD represents the every fan - passionate and vocal opinions. Blake brings the stats to back up his thoughts. And Ailish provides a balance of the two and a thoughtful...”Read full review »
