For those who want to listen, here’s the place to do it. The Solemn podcast welcomed the BPM Sports and TVA Sports host to talk about his career and his work.
It was during the interview that a “fuck, marry, kill ” question came up. He was faced with the choice between Jeff Fillion, Martin Lemay and Michel Villeneuve.
That’s when he started talking about the war between the two men. We know it’s an old one, but it came to the surface recently, when Villeneuve took it upon himself to dismantle him on Twitter.
Clearly, JiC didn’t like the tweets about him, but above all, the one that didn’t go down well was the one where Le Dernier Vrai claimed that Jean-Charles’ co-host (Daphnée Malboeuf) had lost her job at the radio station. The host said it wasn’t true.
The man nicknamed the big ZERO in the business (dixit ratings) got away with it for a 2nd if not a 3rd time, but his co-host lost her job and his producer was suspended. Rather than her 4%, she’s offered support??? Colleagues are on the case!

In the podcast, he said that his tweet in response to Michel Villeneuve’s departure had caused quite a stir.
I hear it’s a great day to take the trash out of Twitter? So let’s celebrate lightness, fun and respect. It really is a wonderful day. Respect and friendship to you all.

During the podcast, JiC wished Michel Villeneuve help. He lets him live his lies and misfortunes because he doesn’t want to get involved.
The podcast is well worth a listen. He talks in particular about Réjean Tremblay, who was an influence on him when he was young, mentioning that he didn’t take the same turn as he did. He says he’s still a people’s guy.
