This week on The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown, jD is joined by Sean from Vancouver — a Hip superfan whose personal stories span from watching Gord Downie in Yellowknife to following the band from coast to coast. It’s a heartfelt, often hilarious deep-dive into what makes The Hip more than just a band — they’re a lifeline, a soundtrack, and for many of us, a guiding presence.

Sean shares stories about growing up in Yellowknife, the music video that pulled him in, live show memories (including a wild urinal encounter with Rob Baker), and the time he may have opened for Gord himself at an open mic. This episode is about community, memory, and the shared connection we all feel through The Hip.
