No Bad Food

Is the past tense of Yeet "Yeeted" or "Yote"? For the final instalment of our November 'Trips' series, we were going to sit down with a special guest expert to talk about hallucinogenic drugs, but his bedroom ceiling burst open and started flooding right before the recording and he had to stay home, so we did the show without him! Join Tom, Juniper, and David, for a great conversation about dealin...

In the 10th round of our ongoing Jeopardy bonus series, returning champ Jordan McRae fights to defend his title against newcomer Alex Smith and returning competitor Adrianne Schoen!

For the first instalment in our November series about Trips, we're starting local, with our Montreal Travel Guide!

We exist in a weird space where, at the time of recording, and also at the time of upload, we have no idea who won yesterday's Canadian Federal Elections. So.. we don't talk about that too much because we can't! Instead, we talk Laser Tag strategy, American BBQ, and things we regret spending money on! This leads up to a great conversation about whether or not it's worth it to take a trip that does...
