This week, the crew welcomes a new face (and voice) to the mix—Shawn “The River” LaRiviere. The man behind the social media magic finally steps into the spotlight, and let’s just say… he fits right in.

We get to know River, how he got involved with the show, and what makes him tick—along with some stories you probably won’t see on the socials.

Berge breaks down his roadie trips to Cleveland and Buffalo, giving a behind-the-scenes look at life on the road, hockey vibes in different cities, and a few laughs along the way.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Snappin’ It Around without some puck talk—covering the latest in hockey—and the conversation quickly shifts into classic territory with debates on after-school snacks and a little love for The Simpsons.

It’s a laid-back episode packed with laughs, stories, and the kind of banter that feels like you’re right there with the boys.

Kick back, have a laugh, and snap it around with us!

We’re back with another beauty — and this one’s got some serious NHL flavour.

This week, we welcome special guest and former Ottawa Senator Chris Wideman to the show. We catch up with Chris on everything from the intensity of the NHL playoffs to his time in Ottawa, sharing stories, insights, and what life looks like for him now.

Berge and Big Cat keep the hockey talk rolling, snapping it around with playoff takes, Sens chatter, and the kind of banter you’ve come to expect — loose, honest, and full of laughs.

Plus, we introduce a brand new sponsor to the show… and yeah, that means prizes are officially in play.

Hockey, stories, laughs, and a few surprises — this is one you don’t want to miss.

Season 2 kicks off with a bang as the boys welcome local legend Jason Hawes aka The Hawser — a sharp sports mind, natural athlete, and an all-around hilarious presence. The conversation flows effortlessly, blending insight with laughs as they break down the final stretch of the hockey season, dive into Masters predictions, and talk all things Blue Jays.

Between sports takes, the crew veers into food talk and classic chirping, delivering the kind of easy, unfiltered banter that defines the show. It’s the perfect mix of analysis and entertainment — a strong start to the season with plenty of laughs along the way.

We dive into the Winter Olympics, break down the NHL stretch run, and talk all things hockey as the playoff picture starts to take shape. And as always, it’s real, it’s unfiltered, and it’s a good time.

This one’s about reflecting, having a laugh, and setting the tone for what’s coming next. Season 1 wraps here — and we’ve got some fun changes on the way.

Thanks for riding with us. Let’s finish this season strong. 🏒🔥

In this lively episode, Jeff Lapointe and his co-host reflect on their holiday experiences, including New Year's celebrations and family gatherings. They share humorous anecdotes about holiday traditions, food, and the excitement of the new year. The conversation transitions into sports, particularly focusing on the recent changes in the baseball world, including player signings and the impact on teams like the Toronto Blue Jays. They express their thoughts on the current state of professional sports, touching on the importance of legacy versus financial gain for athletes.

As the episode progresses, the hosts delve into their love for hockey, discussing the Ottawa Senators' recent performance and the upcoming Olympic hockey games. They reminisce about their personal experiences with skiing and the winter season, emphasizing the importance of enjoying winter activities. The episode wraps up with a light-hearted discussion about their favorite cold beverages and a humorous take on New Year's resolutions, leaving listeners with a sense of camaraderie and anticipation for the next season of their podcast.

This week we’re catching up on not one, but two golf trips: ⛳️ Turning Stone in Syracuse, NY ⛳️ The Cabot Trail Experience in Cape Breton

And for the first time ever, we’ve got a live guest in studio! 🏆 Ryan Martineau joins us fresh off his big win and the honor of rocking the Plaid Jacket from Turning Stone.

We talk golf, mix in some sports, share a bunch of laughs, and keep it light as always.

⚠️ Fair warning: we ran into some tech issues this week and only had two mics rolling. We didn’t want to waste the episode (or Ryan’s victory lap), so you’re getting it raw and unfiltered. Back to basics and crystal clear in Episode 7!

Grab a drink, have some laughs, and snap it around with us.

The discussion also covers top golf courses in Ottawa, upcoming tournament in Turning Stone, and the excitement around new movie releases. Filled with humour and personal stories, this episode offers a delightful mix of sports, music, and summer fun!

Good to be back!

In this episode, we sit down with local legend Andy Lapointe—the man behind the scenes at Ottawa’s iconic Mayfair Theatre and a familiar face on the city’s stand-up comedy circuit. A true film buff with razor-sharp wit, Andy brings his encyclopedic movie knowledge to the mic as we test his flick facts, swap cinema stories, and share a ton of laughs along the way.

From cult classics to comedy gold, this episode is for anyone who loves a good movie and a great laugh. Whether you’re into indie gems, blockbuster trivia, or just want to hear two locals geek out over film, you’re in for a fun ride.
