Show notes
The crew returns after a month away to kick off a new episode with their usual chaotic energy, a quick NSFW reminder, and a land acknowledgement before going around the table for check-ins. Everyone swaps broad summer highlights—travel, downtime, work changes, moving, and personal wins—while the conversation repeatedly derails into playful teasing, pop-culture chatter, and running jokes. Along the way, they touch on community events, the realities of stress and mental health, and how life can be equal parts messy and meaningful. They also vent about a frustrating customer-service experience, celebrate a few bucket-list moments, and set a silly “secret word” to wrap up. The episode ends with a warm message encouraging listeners to reach out for help if they need it.Chapters:00:00 Alexa Chaos Cold Open00:44 Beer Can No Fizz01:14 Podcast Returns NSFW02:49 Guests Back At Table03:22 Roundtable Introductions05:26 Newfoundland Birthday Trip08:15 Quiet Summer Pride08:44 New House Fresh Start11:11 Frenchy Home Montreal JJ14:59 Movies Moana Talk17:04 Powwow Family Surprise19:43 T Bone Summer Highs22:24 Grandpa Tribute  & Travel Plans25:18 Mental Health Update25:40 Pierce the Veil Night26:40 Guns N’ Roses 27:35 Music’s Short Attention Span28:17 Remembering 9/1129:24 Titanic Found at Sea29:59 Stinky Pups Shoutouts30:32 Emo Night and Long Weekends31:13 Firearm Buyback Box Fail32:42 Lego Missing Pieces35:22 Fall Plans and Roommate Move36:25 Newfoundland Pub Memories39:29 Mr Sub Wild Stories45:32 Newfoundland Place Names47:12 Iceberg Beer and Glacier Water48:33 Montreal Airport Layover50:54 Porter Airline Complaint52:33 Closing and HelplinesLinks:9-8-8⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://988.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bc Crisis Centre⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.crisiscentre.bc.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Global Links of Suicide Crisis Lines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HIM Clinic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://checkhimout.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pup Twigz Podcast Unleashed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PupTwigz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pup Teaguel and Pup Ello's Podcast ( Dutch Language)De Puppy Pod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/3222k2BvU234JMotVhCixx?si=d99333c902ef4a5a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patio Furniture Warehouse⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patiofurniturewarehouse.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CC's Portland PDX⁠⁠⁠https://ccslaughterspdx.com/⁠⁠⁠Feel Like Helping Support the show, Please help us buy a coffee or put some funds towards the software of the show, any donation would be greatly appreciated to keep the show going, just click on the link below:⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/paulvincentvan
