Misha finally rejoins Hudson on the pod after a long absence, and the Blue Jays are in the midst of yet another "biggest series of the season". This offense is nails.

Episode 15: How 'BOUT Them Blue Jays
Published:

Hudson has returned from Europe, ready to keep the positive vibes going around the 1st place Blue Jays. With a month left in the regular season, it's time to lock down the AL East and set our sights on October.

Episode 14: Yankees Defensive Masterclass
Published:

Vibes are high, the team is rolling, and the Yankees are in a downward spiral. Can life get any better? We can't tell you how this is happening, but the Toronto Blue Jays continue to exploit teams' weaknesses and have been the best team in baseball since May 1st. Who will Ross trade for as the deadline approaches? Is Anthony Volpe hiding information about Aaron Boone being in the Epstein files? All this and more on the newest episode of the 500 Level Podcast.

Episode 13: The Power of Friendship
Published:

Misha and Hudson are back in the booth, and the Jays are back in 1st place (this late in the season) for the first time since 2016. George "Unc" Springer's resurgence, Barger's breakout, and the power of friendship are all major reasons for this recent success. Let's keep this rolling into the all-star break, nothing but positivity over here.

Episode 12: It's the White Sox
Published:

The Blue Jays just lost a series to the lowly White Sox of Chicago, but still sit in a very favourable spot in the American League standings. Hudson breaks down the state of the team and what is to come in the weeks ahead.

Episode 11: We Bring the Barge
Published:

Hudson hops on to discuss the state of the Blue Jays season, following an electric 4-game sweep of the Athletics. We will back later on this season to break down the newest news from the "Summer of Barge". Go Jays!

Episode 10: BACK UP THE WAGON
Published:

It happened? Vladdy Jr. has (officially) signed a lifetime extension with the Blue Jays. Jays had to back up the Brinks truck, but honestly, it was sort of a steal. The team is also off to a decent start, and the lads are in a good mood. Let's win some ballgames!

Episode 9: Thirty Minute Rant
Published:

Blue Jays opening day is close, but Hudson wanted to rant about the Vladdy contract negotiations. 600 million is just ludicrous. He's just not Soto.

Episode 8: Preseason Predictions
Published:

All of a sudden it's mid-February and baseball is around the corner (spring training at least). Mad Max is a Blue Jay, although that's slightly old news at this point. Even though the Vladdy contract negotiation is still not done, the real question in the back of everyone's mind is whether or not #DomeFromHome will return.

Episode 7: Can You Smell What Ross Is Cooking
Published:

The Jays finally managed not to finish second and signed a big-name free agent for once. Does that mean they're good? Probably not. Will we still complain about everything else that's wrong? Definitely. Either way, Anthony Santander is a Jay. Also, can we just pay Vladdy already?

Episode 6: The Hunt for October
Published:

The Blue Jays are fun to watch? After yet another brief hiatus, the boys are back and more positive than ever, screw draft picks when you can play .500 ball right? The Angels suck, Bowden Francis is the second coming of Roy Halladay and Joey "The Loperfidshow" Loperfido is making waves in Blue Jays land. Baseball has never been more fun.

Episode 5: Still Bad at Baseball
Published:

After a mid-season hiatus, the boys reunite to discuss the state of the 38-44 Blue Jays. From the upcoming trade deadline to the future of the Jays's key players, there is plenty of uncertainty surrounding the team. But do not let us win tomorrow.......

Episode 4: Attempting to be Positive
Published:

The Jays lose 2 of 3 to the Twins and are now 18-22, but many bright spots emerge including the improved performance of Vladdy and Sunday's start from Alek Manoah. Let's win a series in Baltimore (please).

Episode 3: Not Good at Baseball
Published:

The boys are buzzing (alcohol)... this team is very much not. The Jays get destroyed 10-1 by a red-hot Phillies team and have now dropped 10 of 13. Bullpen workload becomes an issue as the Jays have one of the worst bullpen ERAs this month. Help.

Episode 2: Bad Day to be an Offense
Published:

The Blue Jays hitting woes continue and we have such a positive outlook. What the fuck is up with Vladdy, Bo and Springer? Alek "Pressure is for Tires" Manoah eyes his return and the Jays are 0-3 on #WorkFromDome.

Episode 1: The Return?
Published:

After a two-year hiatus, we are back on the airwaves, for now at least. The Jays suck, so get ready for some unfiltered optimism from us. Maybe they'll even score six runs (again)?
