This week’s episode features a story. Jordan and Colin went camping in Algonquin park over a long weekend that included some scary weather, fast moving water, and a couple friends who needed to be pushed in the right direction. With over 100 km to go on their back country camp trip, Jordan and Colin were thrown into the Petawawa River. What happened next? Did they make it out ok? Join us this week...

Colin reports back on his trip to London, On where theyve converted an apartment building into Supportive Housing Units. These units are designed for the homeless to have a safe place to recover after a visit to the hospital. We discuss the unfortunate reality where there is always someone that can make a group of people look bad, sort of like Dane Cook’s bit, “Brian’s Coming”. Is working at work...

 Would you just look at the state of that. Does anyone in Canada feel good about the economy? We don't know about you guys, but we definitely don’t feel good about it and we certainly don't know enough about the problems. We’ve heard about the great depression and we definitely know about the 2008 recession – are we headed in any direction resembling either of those things? After commisera...

Are you a small town or a big town kind of person? Coming to you on location at Algonquin College where Colin slowly realizes that Ottawa might just be the most boring city. For our listeners out there, especially the ones who have lived in or around the area, what are your thoughts on the City? Do you find it boring? Did it provide for all your needs? Is there an age group this City is geared tow...

This week we wonder if our parents’ generation have a different perspective on their relationship with time, specifically as they are retired. How much free time do the retired folks in your life expect you to have? Are you the kind of person that needs a plan before doing anything, or are you a free spirited individual who feels life can be more fun when you let it take you where it wants to go?...

We pay tribute to Cassy’s Opa Joe in this week's episode, a man who truly lived up to his own expectations. Which would you prefer to be blissfully ignorant or painfully aware? In this episode we talk about the joys of being stupid and the burdens of knowing better.

Hello friends! Another week, another episode. As you know by now, in between guests, we like to have good conversations between ourselves. This week is no different.

Which Disney movies have been ruined fo...

Everything from moisturizer and light exposure to over 100 da...
