This week we used the CUPE protest against the Ontario Government as a springboard toward the larger topic of economic issues we face within Canada, namely Inflation, recession, etc. Hopefully we've broken things down in a way that makes sense which means it'll probably make you mad. Tune in and see where we take things.

The following episode contains spoilers for the new Rings of Power show. Also, I wanted to title this one "Rocks, please stop talking", But alas, you'll see why I decided otherwise closer to the end of the show. Enjoy!

We talk about more government stuff; politics, specifically inflation, the ebb and flow of society working moreso for government when times are hard versus working moreso in the private sector when times are good. https://open.spotify.com/track/4I1WBw0xqdenkemd6gwIyp?si=b0e0400b93804ed1

For steadfast listeners of the podcast, you may have noticed that the last published episode kind of ended on a cliff hanger, and a lot of it had to do with how our own government has handled populist opposition. Well this episode is the direct follow up and tries to address some of the "Opportunities" available to the Canadian people in order to help foster good government. Enjoy!

Open ended question: Are we wrong in saying that Canada has become quite divided over the last two years? We started out this episode talking about Elon Musk, but then dove deep into the aftermath of the Canadian Trucker Protest and what it could mean for Canadians. What do you think?

This episode is a continuation of the 4-hour long conversation Cognac and I had on March 26th. We do a pretty deep dive on Ukraine in this episode; hence the title. We discussed the history, the horrors and the humour of 21st century conventional warfare. We also had some gripes about corporate media, the Oscars (no, we didn't talk about this particular Oscar event because it wouldn't happen for another 24 hours) and talked a little bit about Art and Comedy with Bo Burnham's pandemic special.

Rocks: Glenmorangie Lasanta Cognac: Glenmorangie Extra Rare 18-yr-old Two episodes in as many weeks? OOH WEE! This episode was recorded on Saturday March 26th, and is actually the beginning of our 4-ish hour recording; that's right we're tarantino-ing this shit. In this episode I'm joined again by Cognac, we basically did a lightning round of banter from inflation to Canadian Politics, Disgruntled employees, and I had the painful pleasure of explaining how many Spider-people there are.

Rocks and Cognac sat down and recorded about 3-4 hours of content, we decided to start off this round of released episodes by choosing the lighter hour where we dove in head first on Formula 1.

We kind of went on a bit of a roller coaster ride on this one; started off with "Defund the Police" and wound up talking about organizational theory and the problems of middle management. Rocks made his fair share of guffaws as normal and Whisky had to course-correct. Enjoy!

This episode of the podcast was record on 12 May 2021, and featured the return of our first international guest, Gin (UK). We discussed some seriously fascinating topics, like taxes and healthcare, but then realized that it was about 2 am for Gin where we moved on to more interesting topics like British resilience, and the very popular "Eurovision".
