Meet our friend, Nicole! She's the reason Jake started making podcasts and the most loving person we have the privilege of knowing. Nicole has undergone a lot of changes in the past couple of years and she spills the tea on her coming out story.

Chantel interviews Jake about this experience and he shares how this experience was a positive force for change that pulled him out from a dark corner of life.  Links we mention in the...

We had some friends over for Homemade Pizza and one of them asked if we had a microwave. No way, brotha, we ditched that device long ago. Jake kept insisting that we do an episode talking about life without a microwave. So, with no better ideas to record, here we are telling you about how great life is without a microwave.  The conversation wraps around other changes we're making to be more s...

We are often asked, "how did you two meet?" The short answer is through the internet, but we weren't on dating sites or looking to start a relationship together, and that's where the long answer starts. In our most intimate episode to date, we share our story about how we met; the afflictions we faced in our lives before meeting each and how we have helped each other move through our fears toward...

It's the start of a new year and we're doing a new thing - chatting with our friends on the Podcast! We couldn't think of a better way to start than by talking with our friend, Rodrigo, who we met a few months ago at the Banff Mountain Film Festival. Our paths first crossed at a screening of "Fire of Love" and after running into each other again the next day we invited him to join us for dinner wh...

That's a wrap on 2022. We hope you had an awesome and wonderful year as we move into the future. Jake wraps up this last episode by sharing the story of his favourite New Years experience of all time - and it was quite an epic feat. See you in 2023.

Chantel had never been to a film festival or Banff, and she came along to experience the beautiful community that gathers in the Mountains to share stories of the human relationship with nature. We made a new friend, Rodrigo, who...

We went away to Carolina so Chantel could meet Jake's brother and dip her feet in the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. It was also one of the longest continental travel days Jake has ever been on. However, it was well worth it for all the fun we had in the little-known state of North Carolina.  Ways to Support the Podcast: Become a Patron: Support us on Patreon Follow us on Instagram: @Pair...

On our trip to North Carolina, we watched an awesome film: Elvis. The film is an impressive display of cinematic talent and a deeply moving story that touched our souls. We talk about the love that Elvis had for the music he created and how he was able to translate that love into a performance that left audiences spellbound by the way he inhabited his body. The film gave us a renewed inspiration t...

We're going on a trip to Jake's birth country: the good 'ol United States of America. Jake's lived in Canada for nearly half his life and in this episode, we talk about some differences between the U.S. and Canada. Many like to think they're the "same" country, however, in reality, they are very different countries. We hope you learn something new about both countries from this episode!

A whole month of sobriety! We did it and we'll tell you how it was. Have you heard of Twitch? Keep listening and we'll tell you about a way you can connect with us.
