Outta The Park

Sessions, July 13, 2018 - Guest - Jordan Gibbons

Its in the blood! In a house where a love of baseball was only rivalled by a love of music, Jordan Gibbons chose the latter to pursue as her passion. Jordan, daughter of Blue Jays manager John Gibbons, joined Barry and Matt at Metalworks studios in Mississauga ON to talk about her family, her career and where she feels she’s headed. In an all encompassing chat, Jordan reveals some things that many wouldn’t know about her father and talks about how her parents feel about her choosing a career fraught with pitfalls and traps. She’s wonderful, just like her daddy. Crazy news talks Johnny Cash, birds, bears and hot tubs sitting next to a party truck. And velociraptors, don’t forget velociraptors. A Pause for thought goes doggy style. In My Life continues the further adventures of Barry Davis in 1985. All that and a whole lot more. If you thought #GibbyTheBest, hold on, you ain’t heard nothing yet. Its Sessions.

Outta The Park Ep. 66, July 8, 2018 - Guests - Jose Bautista, Duane Ward

LEGENDS! We got him, we promised and we’ve delivered… Jose Bautista, bat flip Blue Jay of myth and lore, joins Barry on location from the Rogers Centre upon returning to his old stronghold as a member of the New York Mets. In an in-depth interview, Barry and Joey Bats talk about his return, his lasting memories of his time in Canada and a story that many haven’t heard that showcases the large heart behind the perfect beard. We miss Jose and this chat will only serve to turn up the feelings. Duane Ward joined Barry and Matt at the Alomar Sports Golf Classic. Topics range from the value of a starting pitcher if innings begin to decrease to Duane’s thoughts on where the game is headed and how the players association will dole out contracts in the future. Duane is as thoughtful and cerebral as Jose, so they pair very nicely. Coffee meet biscotti. The First Pitch forces Davis to play GM of the Toronto Blue Jays. The boys connect with Brian Serviss, an Islanders fan, who gives an honest and passionate take on how fans are dealing with John Tavares’ decision to become a member of the Maple Leafs. We really enjoy talking with Bryan and would love to have him on again. Ask Barry Davis talks the wave and booing when throwing to first base. The results of the Fair or Foul poll are revealed. Its a packed show featuring three separate interviews. The least you need to know? JOEY BATS!!!

Sessions July 6, 2018 - Guests - Les Stroud, Cassie Dasilva

Cold Big Macs, rough cuts and campfires. You know how we do it on Sessions. Little a this, little a that. Les Stroud, best known as Survivor Man on TV, joins us to talk about the music career many didn’t know existed. Les has shared the stage with the likes of Journey, plays a mean harmonica and talks with Barry and Matt about his music career. Its a story of girls, hockey, songwriting and incremental successes that have landed him here. He’s survived more than the wild! Cassie Dasilva, friend of the show and Universal Canada artist, checks in to talk about her new single. Rough Cut is a song about relationships, but as it turns out the roughest part might be Cassie’s choice of locations for a photo shoot! ;). She talks Nashville, writing camps, working in groups with people that eat glue. Crazy News talks McDonalds and the absolute most vindictive breakup story ever. Honestly - this person should be ashamed of themselves. A Pause for Thought talks taking hits. In My Life talks selfishness. There’s music from our lovely artists and laughs from our hosts. All that and more. Its time for a Session.
