Move on over Christian Grey because Brad Simon has arrived. I binged this show (Sex Life or Sex/Life) in 1 day and I have many, many, many thoughts to share. Do not listen to this episode if you have never watched the show before as I basically recap the important parts of the show and give my opinion on the show. Overall, I would give this 3.5 out of 5 Stars. Heads up: 4 hours of the show is dedi...

A little pest named Karl decided to spread fa...

We are here! It is the season finale. I have done the 10 episodes that I wanted to do and I am shocked that the podcast has done as well as it has done. Thank you to all of you that have listened. I originally started this to have conversations with people about things I am pessimistic about and general pop culture topics that I enjoy, but this podcast has become SO much more and I am so happy wit...

We cannot drive. We just cannot. And our driving instructors are to blame.  In Part 2 of my conversation with Antonio, we discuss a bunch of topics such as driving school, Taylor Swift, having kids, Only Children, estranged siblings and half-sisters, Kylie Jenner and the $5000 for her employee's medical bills, The Royal Family and the reprinting of the money, Quavo and Saweetie, baby names, and so...

This is something that we debate all of the time yet we agree to disagree on. Which one is better: Call Her Daddy or Sofia With An F? Both have their strengths and weaknesses. While Alex and Sofia will never reconcile on the pod and the good old days have ended, Antonio and I listen to both podcasts on Wednesdays and Thursdays (almost every week), so we think that we have the right to speak on thi...

Courtney is one of my best friends and as mentioned in the episode title, we met at work in 2017! She is one of my absolute favourite people and it wouldn’t be a podcast about me without having her as a guest. We tell the story of how we met, we discuss work life, we tell funny stories, we discuss our beef with Swoop Airlines, we play a game of “Would You Rather” and then we shamelessly promote Ba...
