About This Podcast

If baseball is the game, chaos is the strategy.


Join South Side Green B CJ (the self-appointed Mayor of the Berm) and Director of Fun Ryan (the only man with a PhD in Shenanigans) as they dive headfirst into all things Welland Jackfish — on-field highlights, off-field hijinks, promo night madness, and the occasional “how did this get approved?” moment.


From dugout stories to behind-the-scenes stadium secrets at Niagara’s Greatest Show, Hooked on Fun delivers fastballs, fish tales, and absolutely zero guarantees of professionalism.


New episodes drop whenever CJ finds a microphone and Ryan remembers the password. 🎧🔥
