The Total Meltdown Podcast

In this special edition 420 episode of the podcast, the gang examines fraud and its most adept perpetrators, including professional, cross-state identity theft, phishing scandals at Westminster, and Canadian paternity test fraud.  We also review what orca trainers have been up to and just how and why they now consider themselves an endangered species.  Finally, we discuss yet another form of fraud...

In this episode, MT and DL were left to their own devices to some extent while Linnette experienced technical difficulties.  We went over one alligator's rights, the ongoing Boeing debacle, car theft, the new Fire Island, and the future, if any, of TikTok.  MT and DL also provide a key update on the vaping sphere and Travis Kelce.

This episode contains one of our classic Canadian politics check-ins, and we discuss the inadequacies of southern Ontario's public transit (along with some fun merch), the new cap on international students, the sad truth about helicopters, and the amazing ArriveCan scandal. MT also provides a long-anticipated deep-dive into the intersection between sports betting and Taylor Swift. Finally, we humb...

MT reaches us from Niagara Falls, where the already exorbitant cost of Starbucks is further inflated. We learn how to deal with your pension plan if they refuse to believe you are not deceased, and how to tape fishes on ATMs (but not why). Finally, we review the various failings of the Ontario justice system and Jordan Peterson.

This one opens up strong with MT relating tales from Disneyworld: if you didn't know people wore diapers to wait in line for some of the most popular rides (while others simply defecate on the floor), you know now. We also have some excellent spotlights on the alleged shoplifter suing Walmart for a lifetime of free shopping, the man suing a bunch of women for commiserating about his shittiness onl...

Back from the holidays, we turn first to our person of the ep, the guy who jumped at a judge during a court proceeding and got extra crimes added to his roster as a result. Next, we move on to our Rich People Check, zeroing in on Wayne Lapierre, Sir Howard, and the sad souls in Congress who just don't make enough to make ends meet. Finally, we discuss how all Boeing 767s need to be taken off all r...

Another wrongly charged woman heads off our episode after allegedly poisoning most of her in-laws with beef wellingtons. We check in with our favourite celebrities to see how they're being affected by climate change and then review where society is at with AI girlfriends. Finally, we do one of our favourites, a corruption check, and learn all about denunciations in Russia and one particular king w...

TsingTao has disappointed us and we are now faithless. But we do support our person of the ep, the lady who borrowed a car from a Kia dealership to head to a job interview (now being unfairly prosecuted for theft). We welcomed our new resident scientist, DL, and discussed screening criteria for flights following the apparent epidemic of folks pooping all over planes. Finally, we discussed a diet r...

Justice for our person of the ep, the bus driver who was fired for drinking a White Claw at work - we all know those things don't taste like booze anyway. We talk Russell Brand, Taylor Swift and DJT (one of our patron saints), while trying to understand why anyone would build that atrocity on Lake Temiskaming and the true value of Tim Hortons.

Anyone who doesn't like the Barbie movie is NOT Kenough. Giuliani? Not Kenough. Fetterman? Kenough. After we get that out of the way, we discuss the US Army's inability to find one little fighter jet, and check in with Canada, the Mediterranean, and one of our podcast's patron saints, King Charles.

Pierre Poilievre shed the glasses and now we are all doomed. We check in with Bill Maher to see what he has to say about how entitled writers are and with Danny Masterson on how guilty he is. Finally, we celebrate our person of ep, the man who tried to cross the Atlantic twice in a hamster wheel.

In this sixth-ish episode, we do our best to veer away from politics and toward less depressing topics, like professional children, the lawsuit against Lizzo, and our patron saint, Tucker Carlson. The ethics of porch stealing and drinking on the job are also discussed and suitably dissected.

Linnette and MT cover it all this week, from our late mascot and top-tier Russian patriot Prigozhin to Rudy and Donny's mugshots, Doug Ford's race to destroy Ontario's already failing infrastructure, and Canada's most eligible bachelor. Includes valuable tips on how to survive under hypercapitalism.

From our deep dive into our favourite Russian and former Soviet characters to Italy's justice system, we tackle it all this week. Questions asked and not answered on Jonah Hill and Mickey Rooney, some of our favourite Hollywood womanizers.

This week, we watched Extraction, the movie of the hour, minute and century, at least until we watch Extraction 2. Chris Hemsworth shines, both in and out of water, clean and blood-covered. And so does the tiny rat in the one sewer scene. We also learned this movie may not have been 100% accurate when it comes to Dhaka's geography.

Our guest this week is RM Brown, one of our favourite newsmen. We discuss all things Al Pacino, Danielle Smith, and housing. Tune into RM's program here: https://www.youtube.com/@rmbrown5736
