On this episode, Jen and Erin discuss the sudden death of Dauphin mayor Eric Irwin, who made Dauphin's Countryfest into an institution. They also discuss the pleasant distraction provided by the royal engagement, how much work it takes to stay on top of facial hair, and how the Grammys might actually be relevant this year.

It's a cross-pod special! Beloved Canadian podcasters Jeremy Taggart and Jonathan Torrens join Bury the Lede for a backstage chat before their Canadianity show in Winnipeg. Jen and Erin make them play Good or Gross, and learn that Jonathan used to have weird ideas about how the word 'volleyball' is pronounced, and that hotdogs give Jeremy migraines.

Erin and Jen discuss the pushback of a proposed addiction treatment centre (hard news!), Black Friday, and the fact that women's rage is finally being respected. Erin also completed the Stress Test for Couples (aka build IKEA furniture) and Jen ate at the most narrow restaurant in Minneapolis.

Jen and Erin discuss Disney's feud with the Los Angeles Times, and how Saskatchewan may have it right when it comes to Daylight Savings. Elsewhere, Erin remembers her veteran grandfathers.

Jen is away this week, so Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland — otherwise known as musical duo Whitehorse — were kind enough to fill in for her.
