Can You Confirm That?

Silk Sonic cleaned up at the Grammy Awards, and we are so happy for favorite drummer Anderson .Paak! Of course, no on-screen assaults or injury means no one is talking about the Awards show.  Speaking of injury, have you heard of Action Park? The nefarious theme park from New Jersey is a former Ski Resort which broke a lot of ground trying to create fun and exciting thrills for the whole fami...

This week all we could talk about was The Slap.. Will Smith assaulting our 'friend of the show' Chris Rock at this years Oscars. Since we release on Friday we hope you're still talking about it too, it was fresh in our minds when recorded.  What Oscar nominated actors that can throw a punch would you want to stay away from? Let's make a short list together.  It was a nice vacation from t...

We've done it! We survived a pandemic and this week, we solved TikTok.  We learn what makes a viral song by looking at trends and artists that dominate. Just kidding, I don't think I know any better after looking into the top trends! I know I can play some of them, and there is some good musicality but it's a weird combination of things making music popular these days and you have to look eve...

What is with the names of hot sauce? Do they intrigue or intimidate?  Look further into the world of capsaicin to see the truth threat of a Scoville unit.

Misinformation is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television (Thanks Morpheus). We need to be able to differentiate between misinformation and disinformation and how we can protect ourselves from both.  We go over tips and tricks to help us combat the barrage of facts, theories and 'takes' on o...

Streaming services are so prevalent, they're popping up everywhere. They're getting niche too, soon you'll be paying $6/month for the professional cornhole network on ESPN 8.

Original content is big and we're loving every Marvel title, and maybe 1 out of every 3 Star Wars titles.  We've also got...

What is the definition of spoiler?  "information about the plot of a book, movie, or television show that spoils the surprise or suspense for a reader or viewer."

Do knowing which characters will be in a story or which actors will be playing them spoil the story? The ter...

Not to be a downer or anything, but there seems to be more and more I'm afraid of lately.  The list goes on and on, here at home in Canada and even on a bigger scale the world is at the brink. Be mindful of what media you're consuming cuz it can be stressful if the story isn't complete. Stories about cannibalism and martial law - well they might turn into regular old murder (phew). I'm not ma...

We are finally using our platform for good.  Just kidding, we're still a show about 'nothing! A protest to end government mandates happening across Canada in the past week since our last recording and we weight in on the good and bad. Can an idea be good, and the wrong people make it bad? Can they twist and dilute or sour the message with their own political beliefs? How do you make sure you'...

It's 2022 and we're looking back - is that such a bad thing? Nostalgia is healthy for us and different generations look backwards to different times.

It's here, the end of 2021! It kind of flew by, with all the rolling closures we had in Ontario. 2021 also saw the roll out of information from the Pentagon regarding extra-terrestrial life and footage that can only be explained as unidentified..  Does this mean we are being slowly pushed into the idea that aliens are real? This podcast believes it does! When you play 3 truths and a lie with...

As I write this post, I have already seen the sequel and I already know how my predictions came to unfold, and how the film has made me feel.

Squid Game! Does that catch your attention? Everyone in the world is talking about this show, but obviously we need to be a little different and talk about the Survival Drama genre that's doing so well coming out of South Korea lately.  Maybe the screenwriters are more confident and have more faith in humanity, proving that we don't need a hero to find the heroic approach, humanity will get t...
