On October 15, 2011, more than six years removed from the last time they were on the air together (other than the occasional one-off joint podcast in the meantime), Humble and Fred re-launched the daily show, this time distributed online as a podcast. Their reunion occurred in the wake of both their recent individual dismissals from terrestrial stations—Humble had been let go from his morning show job at Boom 97.3 in Toronto earlier that year in April 2011, while Fred was released from Peterborough's The Wolf 101.5 in July 2011 where he had been working behind the scenes as program director. Now producing daily content in a stripped-down podcasting operation they launched by reportedly investing only Can$3,500 in equipment with initially no paid employees other than themselves and a business model based on keeping costs low, Humble and Fred stated from the start that they would welcome a return to a corporate-owned commercial radio entity. To that end, the duo made a conscious decision to approach their daily internet podcast the same way they produced their morning show on corporate radio for 16 years, which entailed renting a space to create the podcast from as opposed to doing it from either one of their homes, converting the said space into a makeshift studio, and striving for broadcast-quality daily content that could potentially be played on radio.
