speaker_1HOST
We have a jam-packed show today, like, literally jam-packed before the l- long weekend.
speaker_1HOST
We're gonna start off with legendary broadcaster Joe Bowen.
speaker_1HOST
Uh, other people were throwing legendary around for themselves yesterday.
speaker_1HOST
I think it's more appropriate that we use it for Joe Bowen.
speaker_1HOST
Uh, he, uh, was the play-by-play man for the Leafs for over 3,000 games.
speaker_1HOST
3,000 hockey games.
speaker_1HOST
We're gonna t- go to break 'cause we've got so much to do.
speaker_1HOST
We gotta make sure we cover the commercials that we gotta get through.
Ryan DruryHOST
And, uh, we're gonna get some thoughts from Mr. Steve Dangle, who we've had...
Ryan DruryHOST
Uh, you know what? Steve has maybe been on the show more than anybody else other than maybe Joe Bowen.
Ryan DruryHOST
I think that they've probably been our two most recurring guests, I would, I would think.
Ryan DruryHOST
Right?
Sid SeixeiroHOST
Leave the kid alone.
Sid SeixeiroHOST
Who are you, Joe Bowen? Can't criticize anyone on the team now? Are you serious? Get outta here.
Sid SeixeiroHOST
Um, but in only 14 minutes last night, McKenna was pretty active.
Jeff AzzopardiHOST
Yeah.
Neil SmithHOST
Joe, uh, you know, we've had an, several broadcasters on here.
Neil SmithHOST
Uh, just to name one, Joe Bowen came on-
Joe BeninatiGUEST
Mm
Neil SmithHOST
... right before he retired.
Vic MorrenHOST
Yeah
Neil SmithHOST
... was synonymous, and that was a clear channel so you heard that all over the country and up into Canada.
Neil SmithHOST
Um, uh, you know, there are certain voices, like Joe Bowen, who did radio for the Leafs for so long, that we've had on this show, that it's not the same when you see that team play if you don't get to hear that voice, it's not the same.
Neil SmithHOST
Now, there are voices out there, too, I will say, Vic, that when I hear those voices I cringe that I have to listen to them during a game, but Joe Benenati's not one of them.
Barney ShynkarukHOST
I think on Friday, Sharky's doing the show.
Barney ShynkarukHOST
And I think, yeah, he's got Joe Bowen, former Toronto Maple Leafs, longtime play-by-play guy coming on the show.
Barney ShynkarukHOST
Joe Bowen, honestly, could read the phone directory.
Barney ShynkarukHOST
He's the Holy Mackinac guy, right?
Rob VanstoneGUEST
Yeah.
Rob VanstoneGUEST
Oh, my goodness.
Rob VanstoneGUEST
I mean, I love listening to sports on radio.
Rob VanstoneGUEST
I would listen to Leafs preseason games because I liked listening to Joe Bowen.
Darius DominguesHOST
Like it's insane.
Darius DominguesHOST
They are disrespecting you straight up for three hours every time you tune in, which is why I miss like even the Leafs TV broadcast with Joe Bowen or when Joe Bowen was on Sportsnet for a while.
Darius DominguesHOST
like I know it's super Homer and over the top, like one way, but like, at least you're getting like actual analysis on like what's happening with the Leafs.
Darius DominguesHOST
Otherwise it's just like, well, they're not doing this properly.
Kelly GosselinGUEST
Yep, absolutely.
Kelly GosselinGUEST
So we got, um, our Joe Bowen, who is our, our recent, uh, honorary doctorate, but also a graduate of the University of Windsor, and we all know he was the voice of the Maple Leafs.
Kelly GosselinGUEST
So he's out there being an ambassador for us and a champion, and we've got billboards of, uh, some of our great legacy stories too.
Kelly GosselinGUEST
Generational moth- mother and, and daughter out there showing kind of what's really unique, Meg, about the University of Windsor, I feel, especially in this community, you'll find that there's families who have grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers-
Don TaylorHOST
Hmm.
Don TaylorHOST
Well, okay, I've- If, if Joe Bowen, the legendary, who's retired now- Toronto ...
Don TaylorHOST
the Leafs broadcaster- Oh, he was way over the top of- He's the same, Donnie ...
Don TaylorHOST
No, no, no, no, no. It's the same.
John ForslundGUEST
Recently
Ian CameronHOST
retired Joe Bowen stands out like that.
John ForslundGUEST
Correct, correct.
John ForslundGUEST
So you look at all those guys in any sport that were able to be attached to a brand, one brand.
Jim RalphGUEST
Like, what are they going to do, cut me? So I got up.
Jim RalphGUEST
Joe Bowen emceeded, who I would later go on to work with for 30 years doing the radio broadcast.
Jim RalphGUEST
And it was a blur.
Jim RalphGUEST
But Don Cherry was there and did an impression of grapes.
15 MINS LATER
Jim RalphGUEST
So, um, it's, it's one of those things that you have to sort of, um, you know, after doing the radio side for, for almost 30 years now, you have to say, this is, this is it.
Jim RalphGUEST
It's, um, That doesn't mean you don't do your research and you don't have stats.
Jim RalphGUEST
And like I said, Joe Bowen retired at the end of last year.
Jim RalphGUEST
So Todd Crocker was promoted from the Marlies.
