All listener questions, all the time! At least for this episode anyway!  

Humans have a tendency to seek gods everywhere we look, so it's no surprise that we make idols to bow down to, even those of us with no religious beliefs. So what does worship even mean in this millenium? What do we subjugate ourselves to, and why?  #killyourgods

The books are better! Yeah, yeah, we know. But movie adaptations aren't all bad, right? Right. Well, kind of.    This one is loaded with smack talk and rage porn. God bless.

Toxic positivity is what happens when bad masquerades as good. If someone can be demeaning, dismissive, or degrading of your journey while posing as a ray of sunshine, they might be toxically positive. If you've ever felt distrustful of the "good vibes only" crowd, this one is for you.       

Bet you really want to buy a house eh? Probably live there, and have goals, and maybe take a vacation once in a while? Sucks to be born!   Seriously though, real estate is the cornerstone of the financial market in North America, and if the ever-widening wealth disparity tells us anything, it’s that buying a house is not going to get any easier. We look at the problem on a grand scale, and get into some local figures too. Let’s go.

In the first instalment, we talked about ourselves, this time we talk about the world - specifically the unexpected side effects of depression, and the dark world of medication.    But don't worry, we've got some ideas about how to help with all this, too. By the end you're gonna be happy with yourself!

If you could wave a wand and change one event in history, what would it be, and why? What if learning and philosophy were truly valued? What if no one had ever nuked another human? What would human history be like without alcohol? Well, as it turns out, there might not be any... but it's crazy to think, right?

hings haven't been looking great so far this year. When, and how, will humanity meet its end? What might kill us, what almost killed us, and what are people doing to prepare? Extinction events have always happened, and will always happen, and it's unlikely Superman is coming for this Doomsday.

Scientific literacy is underestimated. It might barely be estimated at all. But it's important to know what to read, how to read, and who to trust. Bill Gates is not trying to f*ckin' poison you, Karen, you can keep your crystals.     

Most of us don't think about the miracle of fresh water availability, but we use far too much of it, pollute more, and sell the rest off to some truly awful companies. This episode is a serious thinker, but we still get some cheap jokes and dirty words in along the way.  

This time around we dive a little deeper into the question of economics versus ...well, everything, COVIDspiracies, and how we're keeping a cool head (and growing) through all this fuckery.  

The first of 2 casts from a respectable social distance, we check in on each other, hash out the government's response to the coronavirus crisis, and contemplate the broad social reaction. And, yknow, be friends.

This episode welcomes back our good friend Chuckie, and introduces our new sound tech VIP, for a discussion of all things retail. From lowly beginnings as cashiers and floor staff, to lowly endings as managers, the boys have seen much working in the retail world. And surprisingly enough, they've actually learned a lot. Check it out!          

No-nonsense paralegal Kaili Chedore, and her sidekick, our dear Pope Mickey, have some things they think you should know about the law. A lot of things. This episode is crammed full of useful info and infuriating truths about the way the world REALLY works. PLEASE don't poop on the walls!

Join us as we welcome one of the spearheads of poetry in Windsor, Benny Alexander, for a chat about the keeping the arts alive, self expression, and of course poetry. You won't want to miss this one, it's one of our favourites so far. Express yo self!  #ihaveafuckbutton

5G (Fifth generation) wireless promises to bring a new degree of connectivity and ease to our lives. How will it do that? Do we want that? Does any of that matter, if it's inevitable anyway? Listen up, and decide for yourself.      

Depression is a terrible, sometimes debilitating, condition with a pile of associated treatments and as many potential causes as there are hairs on your butt. It affects everyone differently. But what really is it? A chemical imbalance? A high school breakup? Not being born taller? This episode has a lotta heart and reflection, and hopefully, if you're struggling, you find a bit of the info helpful, too. You're not alone, and you are valid.

Most of us think of nostalgia as that warm fuzzy feeling we get from old music, or grandma's cooking. But what is it really? And can it be trusted? Come discover the truth with us!

New Year, new you...right? Probably not. A discussion of resolutions and the real reasons you fail at goals (including personal fail tales), plus predictions for the next decade.

The holiday season is all about celebrating Jesus' birthday, right? That's why we put up trees and wreaths, just like they did in the Bible. Oh...wait. Where did any of this stuff come from? And where is it going?
