Pessimism At Its Finest

Happy April and Welcome to Spring! I have been lazy with the podcast, I know. But as I discuss in the episode, I have just not been sleeping well at all. Also, I have been over working and finishing up my masters degree (yay!). In this episode I kind of just discuss what I want such as: What to do without being in university Do I want to do a PhD? An update on my Dog’s health Thoughts on Clayton’s...

It is now 2022 and I am still single as a pringle! Most of us are over apps like Tinder and Bumble and overall, disenchanted by the online dating process. If you’re still looking to find “the one”, then you should try the new dating app, Filter Off. Filter Off is a free, online speed dating app where you sign up to attend a speed dating session and you get matched with people based on your prefere...

I am back! Life is super busy and I rarely have a down moment these days but I felt like an episode on Season 2 of Netflix’s Love Is Blind was super necessary! I have so many thoughts. I recap each relationship and give my thoughts. Also, someone please send me links to get the Ruby Jacket from Free People. It is now a necessity (Thanks Shaina). Also, I love Shayne and I just needed to add that he...

IT IS FINALLY OVER! Shanae has gone home and Shrimp Gate is finally over! We can now move forward in love. Well, I mean that Clayton can find the love of his life without the drama. Plus I give you another update on Tristan Thompson and the disaster that is me taking French Classes. I also wanted to read a letter that I read on Reddit this week. You can read it yourself here: https://www.reddit.co...

Happy Valentine's Day! Love is in the air for some..not me though but hopefully for you! I am back with a recap of Episode 3, 4, and 5 of the Bachelor. This season has been entertaining so far and I cannot say that I am yet disappointed. However, we need to discuss the Shrimp situation and the craziness that is this season’s villain, Shanae. Also, no Clayton - contrary to your beliefs, Toronto is...

This is an episode from the vault! I recorded this episode with Michael back in mid 2021 and never released it because it took me a long time to edit. I am so glad to be able to release it as my first interview of 2022! In this interview, Michael tells me all about his youth, how he ended up living in China, what its like to live in China as a Canadian, his time teaching Film Studies at a Universi...

It is WEEK 2! We officially have two villains, Cassidy and Shanae. We got a guest appearance from Hilary Duff. We got two group dates and a one on one date. There is a lot to discuss here this week! I also discuss the pretty privilege for men who are over 6 Foot Tall. Enjoy this recap for Week 2 of Clayton’s season of the Bachelor.

Happy 2022! We are back with a new solo episode of the podcast. This week I discuss: The Tristan “Third Trimester” Thompson cheating scandal Whether Jordyn Woods actually deserves an apology from Khloe Kardashian The timeline and background of the Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson relationship Therapy vibes Tristan’s Instagram Story apology A recap of Episode 1 of Season 26 of the Bachelor wit...

This week's episode is an exciting one. Just like many of you, I wondered what had happened at Astroworld and what it was like to attend the festival. Houston, Texas native, Jose, took the time to come on the podcast and discuss his experience at the Astroworld Festival. Jose discusses: Camping out at midnight the night before the festival The first crowd rushing through the barricades at 7am in t...

I am only recapping this because I want to not because I need to. Season 2 of Emily in Paris is significantly better than Season 1, however, there are still nuances that need to be addressed. I do a high level recap of this #1 Netflix show but not in chronological order. This season didn’t do anything to make me like Emily or Gabriel more but it was still a good light show to watch. I didn’t say t...

Recapping this season has been a passion project of mine for a long time and you are just essentially joining me along for the ride. In this episode, I recap the final 4 episodes of HBO Insecure at a high level and then give my thoughts on the Birthday themed, fast forwarded series finale.  Overall, the last 5 minutes of the series were the most emotional for me. Yes, Molly marrying Taurean w...

The holiday season is upon us and I think that it is time for me to do one more solo episode before I release my last interview for the year and for Season 3 of the podcast. In this episode, I discuss: What I am doing for the holidays The stress of the Omicron variant My favourite holiday movies (Holidate, Holiday in Handcuffs, Bridget Jones Diary, Love, Actually, and Four Christmases, The Holiday...

I had to do this recap of Netflix's "Coming Out Colton" because I recap everything Bachelor Nation here! I knew the whole entire time that Colton Underwood was gay. From his first Bachelor promo. No one had to convince me otherwise. I am absolutely not shocked by this reveal. I am shocked by the way he treated Cassie at the end though! This whole series was a whole mess and frankly, quite boring....

My Spotify Wrapped situation is a whole MESS this year, but alas, it is here. And the best part of my week tbh. But it also ruined my health for the week. Just for the show notes, here are my top 5 artists for the year: Ariana Grande Drake Jessie James Decker Future Migos My Top 5 Songs were: Beat Box 2 My Type More Than My Hometown Astronaut in the Ocean Body Bachelor Nation has had a spicy Novem...

This week, I discuss my issues with eye strain, caused by too much screen time. I get anxious about my health care and become an expert in self diagnosis via WebMD all the time. My doctor did reassure me but you know how these things go! I also give an update on my Astroworld episode and what's to come next. Also, I was charting in Jamaica apparently! Welcome to the Charts PAIF!!! Then we obviousl...

No, not everyone I know is Thriving ATM. That just happened to be the best quote from the episode and this is supposed to be a HBO Insecure Recap Episode. Recap starts at 18:45 . This episode is a bit somber to start. I spend the first 20 minutes of the episode discussing the tragedy that is the Astroworld Festival. Travis Scott and others are currently being thrown lawsuit after lawsuit. This is...

Hello! I am back! And as promised, I have the recap of HBO’s Insecure with me. It is season 5, the final season and we are just starting. With 8 episodes left, aka 4 hours left, we know what could happen but we don’t know what will. So far, the episodes have been lacking a bit but I think that they will all come together to make a great ending. So, while we are sad about this great masterpiece of...

This is the first time that I have gone out for Halloween since 2017. This is the first time that I have been to a house party since 2017. Since it has been 4 years, I thought that it would be fun to document it and share it as a bonus episode. I take voice notes of the Drag Show and the House Party I attended so that you can experience it first hand too. Happy (Belated) Halloween y’all!!! Follow...

This week, I take the time to ramble and rant about how much this week sucked. I also talked about other pop culture topics. Things covered in this episode include: I spilled water on my computer The terrible Italian singer in my neighbourhood Another rant about Costco Kim Kardashian on Saturday Night Live (SNL) My Love for Tyler Cameron The Male Siren Call I Caved and Downloaded TikTok My new fou...

On this week's episode, I sit down with my childhood friend and Author Michelle Coley to chat about her upcoming novel, “Inked”. Michelle started writing ‘Inked’ while in university and drew inspiration for her main character during her bus rides to class. She began posting chapters of her novel to the famous platform, Wattpad, and her story took off from there! With over 415,000 views on Wattpad,...

This would not be my podcast if I didn’t do a recap of Bachelor in Paradise! For the first time in history, I have watched a season of BIP and I can honestly say that I love the show. The drama is fantastic, the personalities are great, and the concept is even better. This isn’t a long one but a good one. Also, I give spoilers at the end of the podcast so stop listening if you don't want the final...

Spoiler Alert! If you haven’t watched the season yet then come back after you have! I wouldn’t want to ruin it for you! This is one of my favourite shows! Sex Education has made it to Season 3 and I have to be upfront, it was a great season as usual. This show never fails to impress me and I will be so sad when it eventually has to end, but for now I will appreciate it for the masterpiece that it...

This week, it’s just me! I will be discussing the many events that happened this weekend in the celebrity world plus the upcoming Canadian Election (on September 20th).  Episode Breakdown: The Canadian Federal Election 2021 (1:20) The Video Music Awards (VMA’s) (8:23) Megan Fox, Machine Gun Kelly, Travis Barker, and Kourtney Kardashian’s bathroom photo shoot (8:30) MET Gala outfits (10:54) Be...

Its not everyday that I get to do an interview with a Founder of a Company but today is the day PAIF Listeners. This week, Guyel, the founder of Clap Cleats graces us with his presence to talk about his revolutionary socks that help with sexual performance in the bedroom. We discuss how the idea for Clap Cleats came to him, how he tested his prototypes, whether or not he could apply to Dragon’s De...

This episode was needed and absolutely warranted. I have a story to share. There is no better way to start season 3 than to tell a story. It all started with a show called Sex/Life, a couple of tweets, one Facebook messenger call later and a fight with a girl on Twitter. Also, if you have been to RendezViews, please let me know. We have to discuss being bamboozled. About Our Sponsors Clap Cleats&n...
