Can You Confirm That?

Gaurav and I (John) have both entered our names in the women's local powerlifting competitions. We don't think either of us are stronger than any women in the competition to be clear, we are just doing it to make a fool of ourselves and to like, mock the policy? Well, that's what happened in Alberta last week and we will skirt the issue and as we tend to do, look for the most non-toxic...

Slightly exaggerated, but isn't that the point? A few things happened at the start of this week that are now old news and you'll find them in this podcast but we'd like to focus our description on the tech review in the last 60% of the episode. We are talking about soundbars and Atmos, how does it make a difference? Is back corner better than rear surround channel? Support us to help u...

We were so hopeful when recording this episode and now, in the future, I'm not sure if it'll ever happen? The former Commander and Thief, Donald Trump is facing charges that could end up with his arrest soon - could. There are a lot of options of which charges he's facing that will be the ones that stick, but if track record says anything, I doubt we will be so lucky. John debuts he&#3...

We release a new episode every Friday and because of this, we can only an Oscar recap for you! We are more interested in why Tiktok is being banned in cities and government roles lately.

We want you to reach out and talk to us if you have any...

Inflation - enough said right? Well, we are looking into ways to avoid being broke-ass. Take advantage of some special offers like housing being offered to people that will stay and invest in rural parts of the world. In Japan, specifically being connected by the greatest train system we think being remote isn't such a bad idea.  Let's talk pros and cons and what it'll take to make it happen...

It's been a month since a train carrying a large amount of chemicals derailed and burned in East Palestine, Ohio and our small little podcast wants to make sure it's being talked about. In CYCT fashion, we do change subjects and get into all the movies coming out this month. Hollywood is hitting us hard with a blockbuster a week in March. Will you happily go back to the theatre?  We'd love to...

It's Friday and we've got another episode! This week, we look at the future of the MCU starting with phase 5 and Ant-man and the Wasp: Quantumania. More of less a spoiler-free review of the film and our best guesses of what's to come back on some interview notes from the main man at Marvel, Kevin Feige.  As always, we want to thank everyone for spending an hour a week with us and hope you're...

Advertisers blow the bank to get your eyes on their products during the big game. It's when we see the biggest budget, most star-studded, ground-breaking commercials each year. So let's review them shall we?  Everything from electric cars to rice puffed chips will have their time to shine, if they're willing to pay for it. Is the cost really worth it? I don't know, as I'm writing this descrip...

What a week it has been, this episode we cover some of the news that crossed our desk before recording on the 6th.  The dumbest criminal ever, who broadcast to the entire internet what he was trying to accomplish. Bro, next time - live stream it on twitch and ask chat.  The spy balloon caught, slowly trying to get away over American airspace.  Then, for fun, we get sorted. By that,...

We love a chance to make a prediction, and see how far off we end up. This week we are predicting James Gunn's super gamble with the new and cohesive DCU, spanning film and TV, live and animation and everything in-between.  This is a description that has hind-sight and we now know the first few years planned but we had no idea what would be the future when we recorded this episode and have fu...

Well, it took 125 episodes to crack us. We finally fell into Boomer territory with this one. A big promise to not make this a common occurrence.  Some times you need to reflect on how things have changed in society and that positive impression of the past, whether it was actually good or not... Is called Nostalgia. Have some fun while we explore the difference we are observing in the world to...

This week, we start our coverage of HBO's "The Last of Us" series, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. The show aired last Sunday (Jan. 15th, 2023) and was the second biggest release ever on the HBO network. That could be in part to it being based on a very popular Playstation videogame of the same name from 2013. Do you need to have played the game to enjoy the show, we are going to find out....

It's about to get real nerdy in here... Are you excited about hearing two 40 year-olds fumble their way through creating a role-playing character for Dungeons & Dragons?! This suits our tagline perfectly, two non-experts with nimble wiki fingers. Luckily, our favorite new collaborator, ChatGPT was there to help us form our characters backstory. Check out www.cyctpod.com and Instagram @canyouco...

Well, was he? My uncle worked for Canada Brick, was he?  This week we take another risk. It's not enough that the Christmas associations are after us, we would like the rest of the governing associations across the globe to target us but talking about the Freemasons and other secret societies. I guess we will confirm or deny whether these forces should be messed with by how successful this ep...

He's jolly and festive and rules with an iron fist! Listen, it's time we finally talk about what's really happening in the North. The deep North.  Of course we're afraid of the consequences but we have to be brave because the truth needs to come out.  Wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for listening to Can You Confirm That?!

The House of Mouse has a new headmaster... well, kind of an old, returning leader - Bob Iger is back and Bob Chapek is out.

Lots are popping up in its wake 'Mastodon', 'Hive', "BeReal'. Will you join and tr...

Folks, we lost an icon, a hero, a great human being and part of my childhood this week. Actor Kevin Conroy passed away at 66 from a fight with cancer this week and Batman will never sound the same. He was the quint-essential dark knight. Not just his voice, the way he embodied the character and gave us all a voice to hear when we read comics. He will be forever missed.  So, looking at DCEU as...

Is your fridge loaded with condiments like mine? My entire door is packed with hot sauce and BBQ sauces and as we will learn, none of them might need refridgeration. It seems like the shelf-life for these products is long enough that they can stay out, in a cupboard or on a counter. Wherever you need them!  There are a lot of items that we are accustomed to storing a certain way, maybe we don...

Well, the social media landscape is changing. Elon Musk has privatized Twitter and with it, some changes that we feel could be significant.  What will happen to freedom of speech? Will you get a blue checkmark, only $20 a month.  We are in for a fun ride in the coming months.  Stay tuned to Can You Confirm That? to keep up with the craziness, as we are sure to cover it.  Thanks...
