Mic Warning

🎙️ Welcome to Mic Warning!

Could we actually survive a horror movie? Derek, Keelan, and Ashley get into Halloween by figuring out which horror villains we'd stand a chance against. From Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees to Freddy Krueger, Ghostface, and Pennywise, we're pretty confident we could outrun some of them. Others? Not so much.

We also get into paranormal experiences, being afraid of the dark, ghosts and demons, haunted houses, and the extreme experience of McKamey Manor. Would you spend a year alone in a padded room for $10 billion?

Then Halloween candy starts an argument nobody expected. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, candy corn, Tootsie Rolls, Big Turk, and dark chocolate all get dragged into the debate, along with childhood trick-or-treating stories, pillowcases full of candy, and why Halloween doesn't feel quite the same anymore.

Ashley finishes things off with Halloween trivia covering classic horror movies, Michael Myers' original mask, the history of Halloween, the Salem witch trials, and more.

🎙️ Welcome to Mic Warning!

Remember when you had to print MapQuest directions, circle Christmas gifts in a Sears catalogue, or wait for the TV guide to scroll all the way around? Derek, Keelan, and Ashley take a trip back to the 90s and 2000s to talk about all the things we grew up with that somehow disappeared.

We revisit Canadian classics like BodyBreak, Heritage Minutes, and the legendary House Hippo. One of us even admits to leaving food in the closet because we genuinely believed those tiny hippos were real.

Then it's payphones, pagers, Blockbuster, dial-up internet, cassette tapes, roller rinks, first cars, and why everything seemed simpler before smartphones took over. We also get into dating before social media, terrible FM transmitters, and the days when you actually had to know where you were going.

We wrap things up with nostalgia trivia and Mandela Effects that still have us questioning reality. Did the Monopoly Man have a monocle? Did Pikachu have a black tip on his tail? We're still not convinced.

🎙️ Welcome to Mic Warning!

Would you vote for Alberta to separate from Canada, even if you wanted the country to stay together? Derek, Keelan, and Ali get into Alberta independence, equalization payments, the upcoming referendum, and why Western Canadians feel like their voices aren't being heard.

We also argue about golfers hitting houses, hear Ali's nightmare airport experience in Dubai, talk about $120 drinks and travel disasters, and somehow end up discussing the WNBA, Putin, and Kim Jong Un. Then it's animal trivia, where the confidence is high and the answers aren't always right.

🎙️ Welcome to Mic Warning!

Is GTA 6 about to become a second full-time job? Derek, Keelan, and returning guest Allie get into the rumours, new features, and ridiculous possibilities surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6. From realistic driving and relationships to in-game money and massive open worlds, we wonder how much realism is actually too much.

We also get into why Call of Duty Zombies isn't as fun as it used to be, the glory days of Halo multiplayer, whether Marvel peaked with Avengers: Endgame, and why some iconic movie characters just can't be replaced. Plus, Trailer Park Boys, Johnny Depp, childhood movies, horror films, and a geography trivia showdown to finish things off.

🎙️ Welcome to Mic Warning!

Did we actually land on the moon, or is someone buying into one too many conspiracy theories? This week, Derek and Keelan are joined by Ali and Riley as a conversation about globes turns into an argument about the moon landing, flat Earth, Antarctica and why the world map doesn't look quite right.

Before that, there's a story of a $1,000 bet to quit vaping, underground poker stories from Toronto and plans for more Mic Warning games. Then we're choosing one cuisine to eat forever, figuring out whether any of us could survive stand-up comedy and finishing with some movie and video game trivia that goes about as smoothly as you'd expect.

🎙️ Welcome to Mic Warning!

Apparently a safety vest, hard hat and clipboard are enough to make almost anyone look like they belong somewhere. Derek and Keelan get way too deep into how easily someone can look official just by dressing the part and realize they probably would've fallen for it themselves.

Then we get into Black Friday “deals,” terrible Christmas pet decisions, whether your cat would eat you, sharks somehow turning into a biology lesson, exotic meat, the old internet, Nexopia, MSN Messenger, T9 texting, BlackBerry and another round of trivia.

🎙️ Welcome to Mic Warning!

Would a zombie apocalypse even work in Canada? Derek, Keelan and Riley somehow end up seriously debating whether zombies would survive a Canadian winter, whether they could even function without blood and oxygen, and why The Last of Us might be one of the more believable versions of the idea.

Before and after that, we question how planets work, argue over The Matrix and Avatar, rediscover just how ridiculous the Air Bud universe was, fall into a giant early-2000s movie rabbit hole, fact-check ourselves from last week and finish with another round of trivia.

🎙️ Welcome to Mic Warning!

Apparently Winnie-the-Pooh has a much more Canadian origin story than either of us remembered. We go from confidently insisting Winnipeg had something to do with Pooh to discovering the real bear behind the name — and then somehow find out Pizza Pops were invented in Winnipeg too.

Season 2 starts with a heated Lindsay Clancy discussion, O.J./Suge Knight/Keefe D confusion, our completely broken understanding of Los Angeles population, Alberta harvest weather, dead birds and squirrels, weird falling dreams, Keelan explaining his ridiculous method of flying in dreams, and a trivia game that proves actual recall may not be our strongest skill.

🎙️ Welcome to Mic Warning!

It was a brutal couple of days: Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Peter Cullen the legendary voice of Optimus Prime were all gone within roughly 48 hours. We get into their careers, the stuff we remembered them from, and somehow end up arguing about Eeyore, VHS movie trailers and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.

It's also Mic Warning's one-year anniversary and Episode 52, so we're looking back at recording the first episode by the river, how the show somehow survived a full year, and how much work “two guys talking” actually turned out to be. Plus: how hot-air balloons steer, an $8 SpongeBob popsicle, the stupidity of party hats, and trivia that eventually turns Renaissance art into Ninja Turtles.

🎙️ Welcome to Mic Warning!

We’re trying to figure out what to do for the Mic Warning anniversary, and apparently reasonable ideas are completely off the table. Roman candles get rejected, confetti means too much cleanup, and somehow we eventually land on covering someone in peanut butter and sending them toward a deer.

Riley is back as we also get into smelling salts, bald eagles, ADD vs ADHD, horror movies, our completely incompatible movie tastes, somehow knowing Die Hard without watching it, the Spider-Man timeline, Keelan seeing Avatar nine times, The Bear, Reacher and another unusually efficient round of trivia.
