One of Canada's sports broadcasting legends joins the show to talk about his legendary career, telling Ariel stories about his iconic SportsCentre show on TSN and his relationship with his then-co-host, Jay Onrait. Plus, the guys discuss O'Toole's decision to leave TSN for the new FS1 in 2013, why he wasn't happy at FOX, his eventual return to TSN, moving from Toronto to Los Angeles, an online battle with Katie Nolan, and some of the demons he's battled since leaving TSN again last year.

Dan O'Toole is a Canadian broadcaster known mostly for his role alongside Jay Onrait on TSN's SportsCentre in the early 2000s, a show whose popularity rivaled that of Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann in the United States. After enjoying many years of success at TSN and FS1, O'Toole left TSN (again) in 2021 and is now the host of the podcast, Boomsies! with Dan O'Toole.
