Devin has been away working while Mike is going through a ton of council candidates, mayors, politicians and characters. After listening and wanting to add his 2 cents, he finally can and he loses his shit. That’s right Devin does not hold back on his views on the political climate. 

Our last interview with FSJ municipal series and it was a gooder.  We sit down with council candidate John Lambert and ask him all the same questions. He is very grounded and ready to make a difference in his community. He really loves this city.

On this episode we review Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Did the diversity cast forced onto screen add or take away from film? Did it stay true to the spirit of Homer's original text? Was there a hidden woke agenda? How much did Team America World Police inadvertently influence the film?  We answer all this and more, enjoy.

Oh boy this was an episode to behold. With that being said, this one might offend a ton of people, it goes there. we talk about hockey and other current events. wars , playoffs, propaganda and Devin plays devils advocate to an annoying degree while mike falls victim to his bias.

What drives a man to want to sail the ocean with a gaggle of kids and limited resources. Who knows? But then something crazy happens, the world shuts down. That's right, c*vid hits while Steve and his entire family are on a boat with no ports willing to allow them to dock for supplies.   

Our latest far left Canadian political part decided that they wanted to give everyone the opportunity to speak and the worst part was that even if everyone had the opportunity to speak, they didn't say anything worth hearing. BUT!!!! Christians, you're not much better. Self awareness isn't assumed.

Is the "what about" arguments just a re-branding of hypocrites? Should we take their opinions seriously knowing full well they preach what they themselves can't live up to? Has exposing Corruption gone too far? 

There has always been a relationship between the intellectual mind and alcohol, whiskey to be more specific. Does our relationship with alcohol stimulate the mind to deeper thought or just lower our inhibitions to allow us to ask the right questions with the right people. There is one thing for certain, the exercise does not exist in a vacuum.

The kind of episode we hate to make. We are forced by conscience to speak on the tragedy that took place in a small town near and dear to out hearts. A town both of us love to frequently visit and we consider it a hidden gem of the north. Tumbler Ridge, our hearts go out to you. 

In the past few weeks there has been a plethora of YouTube videos exposing cover up culture in some charismatic churches. most notably Mike Winger exposing Shawn Bolz and Bethel's covering for him. They've recently done a miraculous job repenting and calling out his failure but their own. All's well and good. But in our own community, one pastor shared a nearly 6 hour video exposing all of it, hes...

Fake outrage over Skillets new release of a classic Christmas carol, the return of the Christian Karen. We argue that Christmas is not a pagan holiday and even if it was stolen, so what? What would you rather?

Ephesians 4:13 ESV 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood,[ a ] to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 

We take a look at what it looks like for one man to pursue faith with honest questions and an open mind. featuring our repeat guest from the 'Kevin Unscripted Podcast' Mike gets out of line but don't worry, Devin and Kevin bring him back. I blame the whiskey.
