1290 Radio, Part VIII

[DRW204]

Toth loves the idea of trading out of the 1st overall for more picks. I remember he was parroting this idea with the Oilers and McDavid

I've been listening to a bit of OB since the covid mess started. Not much...I can't take it for long. Man, Cloutier and Courier...what a couple of damp dish rags! Cloutier reads local news like he's Walter Kronkite describing a race riot or something - such gravitas! And Courier...the way he makes little audible noises after every "salient" point he raises...sort of a place-holder instead of saying "okay?" or "right?" And I think he's about as dumb as Toth too...I can't believe the two of them (Cloutier & Courier) have had decades-long careers in radio...although it makes total sense that they've been doing it on OB for most of that time.

I tuned in a few days ago just to see what the programming is like. It's good to know in an ever changing world Toth is still Toth. Twisting himself into a mental pretzel to defend an argument that he probably doesn't believe in. I've been tuning into 590 in Toronto in the afternoon for Writers Bloc. Good content and guests. Shows the value of having a good producer that can get good guests and some imagination when content isn't there.

Has anyone called in to talk about the group chat that got leaked?

 

[SM]

Anybody else unable to listen online? Tried both on my computer and mobile (through browser and app).

I forgot 1290 existed until this thread bumped.

"JIM TOTH RAGES ABOUT LEAF'S MID-SEASON NOMINEE FOR MEANINGLESS NHL AWARD. NEWS AT ELEVEN"

lol

 

[Jets 31]

I hadn't listened to 1290 in a long time until yesterday and who's on there laughing like a big goof , Kevin O .

 

[wpgfishfan]

for those that hate it Sirius has a special on right now

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Haven't listened to it once since Corona started, been freeing tbh. Podcasts are the way to go.

 

[SUX2BU]

The only thing 1290 is good at covering is Tic-tac-toe

in a Toth voice

“another win for the cat “ ........

 

[GaryPoppins]

Kevin O just annoys me.

"HERE AT THE HOME SCHOOL OFFICE IN CHARLESWOOD" and says he's at home literally 15 times in a show.

Just shut up, dude. We get it lol

 

[sipowicz]

Wait TSN 1290 still broadcasting?

Yes they are. What is your go to podcast?

 

[SensibleGuy]

Yeah, I've listened to 1290 maybe 5 minutes total over the past 3 months. It's strangely comforting to pop in for a second and hear a bit of Toth inanity, lol.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

I cycle through a few of them: Spittin Chiclets, PardonMyTake, Get a Grip (golf podcast with Max Homa), ForePlay, some fantasy football podcasts (Late Round QB, EstablishTheRun, FantasyFootballers). Depends what sport I am in the mood for lol.

What about you?

Cool you have a sport leaning playlist.

my #1 is the Tim Ferriss Show

#2 probably Rogan but I cherry pick by guests

#3 Masters or Scale

Lately I have been trying to consume more minutes of “Abundance Digital” which is not a podcast but an online community leveraging convergent technology strategies.

Haha, I can relate. I haven't listened since April. I turned on to listen to Jim interviewing Ansar Khan who covers the Wings. Good ole Jim bringing up how he remembers Howard when he covered the Moose and then ask about something that has no relation to that but he just wants to drop that in there. Or how he used to "exclusively cover the Jets" then ask about a ham sandwich or something. It's hilarious that he thinks that give him some sort of credibility.

 

[Al Camino]

For those still wondering 1290 is still on the air and Toth is still saying Toth things. This morning they discussed if Theo Fleury should be in the hall of fame and if his past statements and actions are being held against him. Toth didn't think it was, and that there where just other players more deserving. He then proceeds to explain that there are some things he's done and league tried to help and that he didn't take it or didn't complete it and that might be a reason that he's not in.

Glad Wiebe got a job with SN. I hate watching SN anyways, so it’ll be less I hear from him. Wiebe’s World was so zzzzz...

And now that he’s “competition”, likely won’t be hearing about his 2 hole in one’s every time he’s mentioned on 1290.
