You are right, why listen then complain. I used to be a big TSN radio listener during the day, starting with First up. I have it on when I drive to work, so Leafs Lunch is on when I get in to drive home for lunch. I've slowly been transitioning to some of the 590 shows, but still not totally fed up with First up (getting there though) to just keep my radio tuned to 590.

This is the Toronto Sports media thread... maybe if all they see is pages of complaining about fluff content, they may address the quantity of fluff content... or we'll get the complete recipe to Andi's Nona's (Italian) Lasagna... one of the two.

yeah possibly they could be reading this i didnt take that into account.

First up died for me long ago, Carlo's whiny high pitched voice when he is yelling or having a "hot take" (luke warm takes at best) just grate on my nerves, luckily the 590 morning show with scotty mac (i cant remember the other guy and the girls name off the top of my head) is actually really good its the better option imo even if first up was good

Hayes: "Leafs cant match what they have in Edmonton!"

Of course they could.

Matthews Tavares Marner
Johnsson Nylander Kapanen
Mikheyev Kerfoot Hyman
Moore Gauthier Timashov
Petan/Spezza/Shore

That top line would be the best in hockey.

Too close to Ottawa and Montreal

I’ve gone from having TSN Toronto radio on all the time to just Overdrive, now it’s 590 or other cities TSN the rest of the day. Gave up On Leafs lunch for good in August and First up recently, just became unlistenable

On the weekends I've definitely shifted it from TSN 1050 to the Hamilton 1150 station where although they might have the US filler they also have some CFL talk etc. rather than the best of First Up or Leafs Lunch

First time I've ever listened to Carlo and thought he was pretty good. Guess it takes awhile for him to get on people's nerves lol.

It’s when he starts getting animated about something his voice gets really whiny and a higher pitch, unfortunately it seems he gets this animated high pitch whine daily now.

He was a breath of fresh air for his first month or so on tsn

Andi Petrillo talking about all the facial reconstructive surgery SHE has had, before even really discussing Kerfoot's own injury. I turned it off, and i dont hate her nor the show, but her male counterparts tend to offer more sadly.

how high is his voice so far?

listened for 10 seconds and he was whining about something NFL related.

i didn’t mind him last year when he made guest appearances , he just comes off as a massive try hard now that he’s a full timer.

Now your thinkin'! Babs idea is to 'spread out the scoring'...when really ,all he is doing is watering it down.

I don't mind him either, but that's cause I'm used to him with Landsberg and maybe my hatred for that 5-hour energy makeup-caked-on freak made Carlo bearable

Carlo is pure bush league. He and Lansberg never last more than a couple minutes on my car radio.

Nylander must be banging Landsberg's wife, even when he's one of our best forwards the last few weeks. Lansberg and Carlo still go out of there way to blame the team's lack of success on one player who is actually playing well.

These assclowns are the problem with Toronto media.

Hayes for some reason seems to be going after Dubas a lot, and not putting much blame on Babcock.
