This week we head to a story from a small town in West Virginia...Point Pleasant. Sadly, parts of its history weren't so pleasant. Bloody battles, floods, top secret government shenanigans, a Christmas tragedy and a sweet, but sad Mothman. Yet, somehow, this town continued to persevere. And yes, of course, we put it on our road trip map! Please take a moment and check out Podtastic Audio! If you a...

Deb thought she was ill prepared however, one might say she was OVER prepared. But are there really any accidents? Well, yes. Apparently there are! And this one's all about some pretty amazing things that were invented by accident. Aren't you curious how we got our title and how silly putty, viagra and cookies (no, not THOSE "cookies"!) were unintentionally invented? Jump in and...

Under the guise of education, guidance and nurturing, the Magdalene Laundries imprisoned "fallen" girls and women, putting them to work in appalling conditions without pay and subjecting them to unspeakable physical and mental cruelty. The most shocking part? The only closed 27 years ago. Take a listen to this fascinating modern-day atrocity, told in typical Kris and Deb style. Please take a momen...

Wait, did Deb go to Mesopotamia? She tells us all about her trip to Jordan, but does that count? And if she did go, why didn't she take Kris? Maybe she really is an evil Canadian.

We're not sure what the opposite of "going postal" is, but we're pretty sure it's all the laughs we had in this episode! When Deb is pretty sure that an episode on the mail system will be about as interesting as discussing the life cycle of a snail, but Kris proves her very, very wrong. O She of Little Faith! Also, did the police have to be called about Kris' laundry this year? Tune in the find ou...

nettles, turnips and mackerel...oh my!

We couldn't get enough of BC Hunter from the Wrestling with the Truth podcast, so we made a Part 2! The fun banter continues, but takes an intense turn when Kris and BC ambush Deb with questions on her readiness to visit Canada this year. How does she do? Will she touch down on MONtreal (as pronounced by Kris) or will she ever be banished to reside closer to her Mesopotamian roots? Tune in and fin...

We are so excited about our guest, BC Hunter, from the Wrestling with the Truth podcast! We had such a great time speaking with BC that we had to split the episode into two parts.

This episode is a little more laugh than learn, which we think is perfect for summertime listening! We watched the 80s classic, The Outsiders, together and, well, Kris lost a nail in the popcorn and Deb almost died choking on it. Like she needed any more health issues, but anyhoo .. so Kris decided to do an episode on the film since Deb missed most of it. Check it out! And be prepared to add some...

Two English guys, an American and a Canadian walk into a bar .. Well, maybe not a bar, but a pretty fun episode we'd say! Dan and Jamie from the amazing Two Men No Hope podcast join us and we have a ton of laughs telling stories about where we're from. Who were the real Peaky Blinders? What were the Glasgow Ice Cream Wars? Who invented basketball, the States or Canada? Join us to find out! Please...
