#TheStoop Preseason: LeBron vs Jordan… Ok! Enough!

Welcome back to #TheStoop. Before the launch of the 2026 season of this relaunched Mini-Pod series, I’m going into Throwback mode & releasing a couple of episodes that I recorded back on November 2, 2025.

For the second episode, I’m joined by Jan-Michael Nation (Ryerson/TMU Hall of Famer & Alumnist) as we discuss the years-long debate: LeBron James or Michael Jordan… but not like you think. We break down why this conversation needs to evaporate into the air forever, plus more.

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 294: “Who Killed The Montreal Expos” Review

In light of the recent release of the Netflix Documentary, “Who Killed The Montreal Expos”; it’s only right that we have a discussion from some people that grew up with the franchise in its hometown. I’m joined by Director/Filmmaker P.J. Kerr, as well as the Producer of NPR’s “Sunday Story” & host of the NPR App Andrew Mambo on a special edition of The Ave Podcast as we break down the rise and demise of this franchise. We discuss our childhood memories of the team & the epic shorthanded ’94 season; share our thoughts on how the film captured the emotional separation between the team & the city; would the Expos be able to thrive today if they were to come back into existence; we have a deeper discussion on how the politics from the province played its part in driving away the team and many, MANY others out of Montreal; and a lot more than this. Please enjoy…..
