Two Shot Tuesday

It starts with a Rip From the Headlines that grabs our attention — “Mercury, the planet that shouldn’t exist” — and sends us down an unexpected space rabbit hole. In this episode of Two Shot Tuesday , we talk about why Mercury raises real questions, how little we understand about our own solar system, and why scale and time in space completely break human intuition. The conversation drifts into as...

It’s our first episode of 2026, and we don’t ease into the year. We kick things off the only way we know how: with whiskey, physical media, and a conversation that goes exactly where it wants to go. From reflecting on what we’re carrying forward from 2025 to getting unexpectedly deep into comics, beach culture, confidence, and the future of weight-loss science, this one sets the tone for the year...

This is our final Two Shot Tuesday episode of the year, recorded early, fueled by coffee, Bailey’s, and Jameson, and filled with reflection. In this end-of-year conversation, we look back on the moments that quietly reshaped 2025 for us, on the podcast and off. From moving the show to video, to lessons in consistency, fitness, discipline, and embracing things we didn’t expect to care as much about...

It’s a full-on 4K Christmas extravaganza .

It’s our annual Spotify Wrapped episode — the one where we pour a couple shots, open the app, and immediately question every life choice that led to these results. This year?

We dig into shocking Top Artists, unexpected genres, and a few curveballs that had both of us staring at our phones wondering, “Is this really us?” Spoiler: apparently yes....

This week, we unpack one of the wildest chapters yet — Jason’s acting adventure in Tokyo . From navigating spotless streets and jam-packed subways to learning when to bow, it was culture shock in the best possible way.

This week, The Movie Guy Rob Peets joins us from the dark reaches of space to talk Predator: Badlands, a wild, over-the-top entry in one of sci-fi’s most chaotic franchises.

Rob brings the sharp takes, Barry brings the quotes, and Jason brings... questions. Lots of them...

Barry’s torn between subtitles and steelbooks, Jason’s all-in on creature features, and somewhere along the way, we ask the question: does willpower even exist? It’s all fuelled by a couple of pours o...

We wandered into a corn maze and somehow ended up talking Stephen King , The Shining , Children of the Corn , and even David Bowie’s hair in Labyrinth . Along the way, we poured a little more Bearface Whisky from the Whisky Global Toronto show, swapped some movie takes, and found just enough Halloween energy to keep things weird (in the best way). It’s Two Shot Tuesday at its finest: swift, funny,...
