Harmonious Gentlemen

In this episode the Gents tackle the ever-present elephant in the room. How do we remain Harmonious during the fourth wave of Covid? It's an episode about the things we hate talking about, but can't seem to stop talking about. Vaccinations... Individual rights and freedoms... Public health crises... Echo chambers... Conspiracy theories... Is it even possible to speak on these topics without getting fired up? Chris, Tyler, and Graham get vulnerable, speak honestly, and give harmony their best shot on this one.

In this episode, the Gentlemen brave torrential rain, lightning, thunder, and another one of Peter's surprise topics.

Their choices and spontaneous explanations reveal more about their souls than you'd expect, and Graham even recorded a cover of an iconic Canadian song. This is an episode you won't want to miss.
