Mic Warning

Derek, Keelan and Riley go down a childhood-toy rabbit hole involving Furbies, Wuv Luv, Creepy Crawlers and Kinder Surprise — including the bizarre true story of why the NSA once banned Furbies from its buildings.

Then we get pissed off about streaming services charging us to rent ancient movies, argue about commercials, and finish things off with Riley putting Derek and Keelan through a 20-question trivia battle.

Remember LimeWire, Napster, six-disc CD changers and rewinding cassette tapes with a pencil? This week on Mic Warning, Derek and Keelan look back at the technology we grew up with — and somehow end up asking whether streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video have just reinvented cable.

LimeWire viruses, dial-up internet, buying an entire album for one song, CDs in the car, lost digital photos, streaming subscriptions, ads and the good old days when Netflix mailed DVDs — technology has made everything easier, but we're not convinced it made everything better.

We also get into a ridiculous Kananaskis golf trip, moldy yogurt and Powerade, Michael Peña movies, the comments correcting us, and another round of trivia that immediately proves why you should never assume we know what we're talking about. The trivia runs through Netflix DVDs, the first computer mouse, PEZ, The Beatles, Oxford vs. the Aztec Empire, basketball, Disney's Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and the first webcam.

Are aliens already here and could they look exactly like us?

Episode 48 immediately goes off the rails as we argue about CERN, time travel, parallel universes, dinosaurs, ancient civilizations, dragons coming out of hibernation, and whether humanity could possibly be the smartest life in the universe.

Then we move into some potentially unforgivable movie opinions. We discuss James Bond, Happy Gilmore 2, the best Will Ferrell movies, cult classics, Rotten Tomatoes, and the fact that neither of us has watched Pulp Fiction, Citizen Kane, or The Boondock Saints.

We also correct last episode’s Buckingham Palace confusion, question whether canned food ever truly expires, and finish with another round of trivia covering Queen, Nickelback, McDonald’s, Spartan Race, Friends, Barbie, Heinz ketchup, and more.

We finally have a "producer", and she immediately realized what she signed up for.

In Episode 47, we welcome Rachel behind the camera before spiralling into Halloween in August, overpriced Spirit Halloween costumes, whether Value Village is still actually a thrift store, Canadian ghost costumes, Costco chocolate almonds, terrible childhood haircuts, and the struggle of trying to grow a podcast without changing everything that makes the show fun.

Then the trivia begins.

Is Dairy Queen soft serve technically ice cream? How much cream is really in a Tim Hortons double-double? Which character first appeared in Super Mario World? What created the falling green code in The Matrix? Why are flamingos called a flamboyance? And can we survive an entire trivia segment without confidently saying something completely wrong?

Probably not but at least Rachel is here to fact-check us now.

How much coffee is too much… and is ordering a Tim Hortons Quad Quad actually a red flag?

In this episode of Mic Warning, Derek and Keelan spiral from caffeine limits and energy drinks into Canada’s fast-food coffee rankings, whether Tim Hortons has fallen off, if coffee cream is actually oil, and why some Dairy Queen treats don’t seem to melt. Along the way, they derail into Hafthor Bjornsson’s insane deadlift, ADHD talk, and another round of completely questionable trivia.

Basically: coffee, chaos, and two guys doing their best to stay on track.

Keelan came closer to a hole-in-one than most golfers ever will—until the ball bounced out of the cup and his son immediately knocked it off the green. Does it still count? Absolutely not. Is he going to argue about it anyway? Absolutely.From there, the episode completely falls apart. Derek and Keelan tackle an impossible cake-versus-dick hypothetical, debate what they could survive on Fear Factor, butcher classic TV memories, correct their wildly inaccurate Rudolph trivia, and reveal the incredibly stupid way Keelan flies in his lucid dreams.Then it’s time for another round of Mic Warning trivia featuring Mike Tyson’s surprisingly wholesome hobby, Sam Neill’s winery, the origin of Bluetooth, cube-shaped wombat poop, WD-40, Olympic gold medals, Portal, Amazon’s first-ever order and more.Two idiots. Twenty trivia questions. A shocking amount of confidence and almost no useful knowledge.Watch, listen, like, comment and subscribe—and let us know: does a golf ball count as a hole-in-one if it goes into the cup but bounces back out?Find Mic Warning Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and every major podcast platform.#ComedyPodcast #FunnyPodcast #MicWarning

Waymo drove over fireworks and kept going, so we did the responsible thing and turned it into a robot-car panic spiral. We also missed Canada Day and the Fourth of July like professionals, complained about 11:30 fireworks, and tried to figure out what happens if an electric self-driving taxi eats an explosion.

Then the episode wandered into our first YouTube Shorts, Spotify doing nothing for us, Vietnam randomly running up our stats, Red Deer being number one for petty crime, Sylvan go-karts charging by the minute, Jersey Mike’s having a lineup, and trivia where Barbie’s full name and Godzilla’s roar caused problems. Normal show. Solving Nothing, Loudly.

June monsoon showed up in Alberta and the mosquitoes started acting like they own the place. We talk lawn-cutting in DEET, the kind of thunderstorm that shakes the house at 1 a.m., a dog needing emotional support, and our second video episode making us forget what hands are for.

Then it turns into river-flood flashbacks, a guy leaning on a guardrail who may or may not be okay, fireworks going sideways, thunder versus lightning, and a trivia run where 2 or 3 out of 10 counts as surviving.

After 40+ episodes, Mic Warning finally lands Video on YouTube.

This week we're talking Cybertrucks, why AI still feels like it's missing the point, Austin Powers 4, Shrek 5 backlash, gaming sponsors we'd actually want, 90s cartoons, and why Moose the boxer insists on joining the show.

We also talk about launching our Patreon, making the jump from audio to video, and trying to build something with more ambition than budget.

If you enjoy unfiltered conversations, random tangents, nostalgia, gaming, movies, tech and Canadian humour, you're in the right place.
