Episodes

Episode 21: Job's Not Finished 22.09.2025

The Blue Jays have punched their ticket to the 2025 postseason, but more work lies ahead as they look to clinch the AL East this week. 6 games remain, and the Jays look to finish the dream season on the right note after a recent offensive slide. Now we go.

Episode 20: Trey Day 15.09.2025

Top pitching prospect Trey Yesavage is here and ready to shove, and we're so ready. As a sidenote, the Blue Jays sweep the O's to further strengthen their grip on the division. Vibes are high, and playoff baseball is oh so close. Rays, Royals, Redsox next!

Episode 19: Return of the King (IKF) 12.09.2025

Another week and another pod?? Is this some sort of consistency on the 500 Level? Anyway, the Toronto Blue Jays take 2 of 3 from the Astros after dropping 2 of 3 to the Yanks. Bo is out, but IKF is back, and we're feeling heiney. Jeff Hoffman and Brandon Little are taking years off our lives. Here comes the home stretch... PLAY LEVELS.

Episode 18: Treading Water 05.09.2025

Misha finally rejoins Hudson on the pod after a long absence, and the Blue Jays are in the midst of yet another "biggest series of the season". This offense is nails. Springer is otherworldly, Bo is in MVP form, and Vlad is heating up again. Did we mention Alejandro Kirk? The pitching, on the otherhand leaves a lot do be desired. Now is the time to turn it around. #PlayLevels

Episode 17: The Tommy Nance Game 31.08.2025

The Boys are back post-game to recap the 8-4 win on Sunday over the Brewers. The Jays are now back to a 3.0 game lead in the AL East. Where were you for the Tommy Nance Game?

Episode 16: State of the Nation (feat. Joel Stewart) 31.08.2025

The Blue Jays are facing some adversity vs the Milwaukee Brewers as the chase for October is in full swing. Hudson and Joel recap the season to this point for the Jays as well as touching on a number of other topics in the world of sports.

Episode 15: How 'BOUT Them Blue Jays 26.08.2025

Hudson has returned from Europe, ready to keep the positive vibes going around the 1st place Blue Jays. With a month left in the regular season, it's time to lock down the AL East and set our sights on October.

Episode 14: Yankees Defensive Masterclass 25.07.2025

Vibes are high, the team is rolling, and the Yankees are in a downward spiral. Can life get any better? We can't tell you how this is happening, but the Toronto Blue Jays continue to exploit teams' weaknesses and have been the best team in baseball since May 1st. Who will Ross trade for as the deadline approaches? Is Anthony Volpe hiding information about Aaron Boone being in the Epstein files? Al...

Episode 13: The Power of Friendship 07.07.2025

Misha and Hudson are back in the booth, and the Jays are back in 1st place (this late in the season) for the first time since 2016. George "Unc" Springer's resurgence, Barger's breakout, and the power of friendship are all major reasons for this recent success. Let's keep this rolling into the all-star break, nothing but positivity over here.

Episode 12: It's the White Sox 23.06.2025

The Blue Jays just lost a series to the lowly White Sox of Chicago, but still sit in a very favourable spot in the American League standings. Hudson breaks down the state of the team and what is to come in the weeks ahead.

Episode 11: We Bring the Barge 02.06.2025

Hudson hops on to discuss the state of the Blue Jays season, following an electric 4-game sweep of the Athletics. We will back later on this season to break down the newest news from the "Summer of Barge". Go Jays!

Episode 10: BACK UP THE WAGON 09.04.2025

It happened? Vladdy Jr. has (officially) signed a lifetime extension with the Blue Jays. Jays had to back up the Brinks truck, but honestly, it was sort of a steal. The team is also off to a decent start, and the lads are in a good mood. Let's win some ballgames!

Episode 9: Thirty Minute Rant 12.03.2025

Blue Jays opening day is close, but Hudson wanted to rant about the Vladdy contract negotiations. 600 million is just ludicrous. He's just not Soto.

Episode 8: Preseason Predictions 13.02.2025

All of a sudden it's mid-February and baseball is around the corner (spring training at least). Mad Max is a Blue Jay, although that's slightly old news at this point. Even though the Vladdy contract negotiation is still not done, the real question in the back of everyone's mind is whether or not #DomeFromHome will return.

Episode 7: Can You Smell What Ross Is Cooking 21.01.2025

The Jays finally managed not to finish second and signed a big-name free agent for once. Does that mean they're good? Probably not. Will we still complain about everything else that's wrong? Definitely. Either way, Anthony Santander is a Jay. Also, can we just pay Vladdy already?

Episode 6: The Hunt for October 28.08.2024

The Blue Jays are fun to watch? After yet another brief hiatus, the boys are back and more positive than ever, screw draft picks when you can play .500 ball right? The Angels suck, Bowden Francis is the second coming of Roy Halladay and Joey "The Loperfidshow" Loperfido is making waves in Blue Jays land. Baseball has never been more fun.

Episode 5: Still Bad at Baseball 30.06.2024

After a mid-season hiatus, the boys reunite to discuss the state of the 38-44 Blue Jays. From the upcoming trade deadline to the future of the Jays's key players, there is plenty of uncertainty surrounding the team. But do not let us win tomorrow.......

Episode 4: Attempting to be Positive 13.05.2024

The Jays lose 2 of 3 to the Twins and are now 18-22, but many bright spots emerge including the improved performance of Vladdy and Sunday's start from Alek Manoah. Let's win a series in Baltimore (please).

Episode 3: Not Good at Baseball 08.05.2024

The boys are buzzing (alcohol)... this team is very much not. The Jays get destroyed 10-1 by a red-hot Phillies team and have now dropped 10 of 13. Bullpen workload becomes an issue as the Jays have one of the worst bullpen ERAs this month. Help.

Episode 2: Bad Day to be an Offense 04.05.2024

The Blue Jays hitting woes continue and we have such a positive outlook. What the fuck is up with Vladdy, Bo and Springer? Alek "Pressure is for Tires" Manoah eyes his return and the Jays are 0-3 on #WorkFromDome.

Episode 1: The Return? 01.05.2024

After a two-year hiatus, we are back on the airwaves, for now at least. The Jays suck, so get ready for some unfiltered optimism from us. Maybe they'll even score six runs (again)?
