The Dean Blundell Show

Dean welcomes educator Joanna Johnson to discuss Alberta vs Trans Kids. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

OOOOHHH, We're back, and so is the McRib! Loc claims all the credit for going on a two-month blitz to bring back 'The McRib,' but who cares? We talk about why it's back and where to get one! Edmonton ran out of Water, and Lochlin is pissed but not as pissed as some Conservatives are about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taking a vacation that taxpayers didn't have to pay for. We also talked about Pi...

Brandi Morin is INCREDIBLE. She's one of Canada's most influential journalists. She's an author, advocate, and mother who was arrested for covering Edmonton Police's violent indigenous tent community. She's been targeted for her reporting before, but this was different. Brandi has been a journalist covering Indigenous issues for 20 years, and the story of her arrest for the crime of doing journali...

We're back, and not a moment too soon!! All this Taylor Swift backlash deserves context: Charles Adler's mom turned 90 this week. She survived the holocaust and made it out of Hungary with a 2-year-old Charles Adler in a backpack. She didn't give Charles's dad a choice: SHE was the boss. "We're leaving, and if you're not coming, I'm leaving with this child to North America for a better life..." Ch...

Lochlin and I watched A LOT of Football this weekend and we both ate like assholes. Find out how many calories Dean crushed on Sunday watching the Conference Championship games. Is it wrong to eat two massive bags of nibs?? #TaylorSwift DID NOT dominate your TV this weekend. Dean tells you exactly how many seconds T Swizz was on your TV during the 3 hour broadcast. We also discussed the emerging c...

Colin is the owner and founder of Cantorque.com. Makers of the world's best industrial tools and torque wrenches. His story is incredible. From finding himself out of work with a wife and new baby at home, Colin is a Canadian success story who put his money where his mouth was 20 years ago. Cantorque makes rugged, hard-working, industrial torque wrenches for the heavy industry worldwide. Their new...

Loc and Dean welcome Brenton DOnellly from the Do Did Will Podcast to the show to break the Tucker Carlson in Alberta show details. We didn't bother talking about what he talked about (mocked gay people, told the audience to mock people who disagreed with them, and called the deputy PM a Nazi); we focused on how fucking fake the whole thing was. Brent helped us break down configurations (he's a BI...

Adler and Dean are back to LOW KEY to argue about political rhetoric recited by the Edmonton Shooter. With political lies, rhetoric, and gaslighting at an all-time toxic high, can we assign blame to certain political messaging when it appears in a domestic terrorist Manifesto? What comes first - radicalization or mental illness and can we assign blame to bad actors for the firehose of radicalized...

The particular podcast today. Andrew Berkshire is one of Dean's favorite Hockey Writers. He's legit. Rachel Doerrie is one of Dean's FAVORITE hockey Analysts. She's legit. Today we talked about the impending charges stemming from 5 members of Canada's 2018 WJHC raping a woman in a London Hotel Room in 2019. Rachel has some experience as a woman who worked in the NHL. We talked about: Hockey Cultur...

Welcome to Wednesday! Major announcement out of the gate! Lochlin Cross is getting thinner, and we have just signed first-line center "Kurtis From Alberta" to be our pre-game, post-game, and between-period live streams for the remainder of the NHL season! Kurtis is a pure Leafs fan who turned his basement into a million-dollar shrine to the Maple Leafs. He does content for Bodog, crushes pints out...

Welcome to a BIG Monday. We start with the opening 5: Corey Perry is skating with the Oilers, and Lochlin has a VERY inappropriate shirt for sale on his merch page as a result. No bueno, but it's funny. #JoeRogan is trending in Canada because he hates Justin Trudeau. During this weekend's UFC 297, even in Toronto, Joe Responded to the "Eff Trudeau chants with glee. Joe has led the charge in painti...

Welcome to Thursday!!! There is a lot to talk about because it looks like Donald Trump has some old-school syphilis, MMA Star Sean Strickland went off on Canada and gay people, and the Pope just announced it's ok to have sex but porn is No Bueno! James Carville breaks down Trump's open sores and dementia. We discuss what syphilis is and how it leads to dementia. Then we played a few clips proving...

We're back and NOT happy about the weather, urinals, smelly people, and Toronto banning tobogganing. Dean has a thing against hair and smells. Lochlin leads with a story about the smelliest hairball he knows. If you have a friend who smells, you must listen to Lochlin's PSA about people who smell. YOU can do something about them. Lochlin just went through -50 in Alberta, and Dean wants to know wha...

We're back with Charles and Max, who join us from Alberta to discuss the Energy Capital of Canada and how it ran out of Energy during its recent "freeze-your-balls-off cold snap." Max is the lead columnist for Canada's National Observer and is a climate change expert as well as an energy expert. He details Alberta's teetering energy grid and how GREED almost led to 4.45 million people freezing to...

Happy Friday!!! We're back with a fun afternoon of famous people's stories! We start with former football hero Aaron Rodgers. He decided he was a medical academic a couple of years ago and can't stop saying dumb things. Rodgers/Packers fans pretend they don't know him now after he called Jimmy Kimmel a pedophile and then tried to explain infectious disease pathology on the Pat McAfee show. We talk...

aura Babcock from The O Show is back. She's the Oprah of Hamilton, and she spits fire when it comes to Media and Homelessness. We chopped it up about Ezra Levant's "Rebel News" being a "Schtick Platform." Think Breitbart meets TMZ for hillbillies. That's Rebel News. One of their Crisis actors, David Menzies, was arrested for the umpteenth time, and we talk about the simple premise of whether shith...

Max Fawcett is one of Dean's favorite writers. He's the Lead Columnist at Canada's National Observer. He's a left-leaning academic from Calgary, Alberta, who writes about climate change, so he's brave... We started by discussing how having a different news cycle and ecosystem in Alberta is possible. What news do Albertans and people in western provinces consume and what they don't, and how does it...

Caryma is back, and we have some news: Caryma has been covering the Israel/Gaza protests. Her latest viral video has become an internationally bastardized viral video. It features a Toronto Police officer handing Gaza protestors coffee and come cups. Fox, the Sun, and several other alt-right news outlets edited the video taking it all out of context to paint Canada like it was a shithole being ove...

Welcome to Friday! Scotty Trades joins us from the Hot Wallet pod to talk about how much money Lochlin lost not buying the BTC dip, and he's furious about it. He even called Scott a CRIMINAL!!! LOL Scott dishes on the future asset class, how much money he's made, and how much Lochlin DIDN'T make stuffing his money under mattresses... We got into the Epstein Files and how boring they were - until w...

Lochlin is here to help Dean mock the latest in the Canadian politics sewer. Pierre Poilievre has been missing for two weeks, but his digital team kicked it into high gear with one of the weirdest speeches ever. The leading candidate for PM, Pierre Poilievre, thinks: - Electricians catch lightning and put that energy into copper wires. - "Brainy" people and "Experts" are dumber than the average pe...

Charles and Dean are back and coming to grips with their programming. How to challenge it. How do we escape the rat race of political belief systems and what our parents told us was right? Religion. Poltiics. Media. Ideologies and operating systems. They are all "learned". What happens when you encounter information that makes more sense than what you were told to believe? What happens if you read...

Chuck and Dean are BACK with a post-Christmas discussion on Pierre Poilievre's fake "War On Christmas." Conservatives want you to think Muslims are coming for your Christmas greetings! Not so fast. Chuck is a traditionalist, and Dean is not. Can Chuck get behind Dean's Economical Christmas Greeting Hack of "Happy Holidays?" Has anyone ever been confronted by someone who doesn't celebrate Christmas...

It's the last show before the Christmas Break! It's VERY warm in Canada this week, and we're discussing climate change. Sure, we're killing the planet, but how do you say no to 13 and sunny in Edmonton in December? it's a conundrum. Rudy Giuliani Blocked Dean this week after Dean mocked his Bankruptcy proceedings after getting cleaned out in a defamation trial by two election workers. We discuss a...

Welcome Laura Babcock from, The OSHOW to DBS! Laura is a PR pro who hosts the O(pinion) Show and SLAYS hypocrites and political assholes daily. The Scandal Panel is a must-watch, and Laura came from the same WHACKY religious upbringing Dean did. Two people uniquely qualified to call out religious radicalization with political messaging. - Growing up with religious parents means we have a PhD in fe...

Our second last show before XMAS, and we MAILED it. - Lochlin wants to start with a dumb story about how Trudeau is managing his water pressure, and he's tired of the many state regulations on show heads. - Lochlin also shares some breaking news on McDonald's new McRib possible launch across Canada and wants you to thank him for his sustained McRib Campaign. - It's XMAS, and lots of people with ad...
