Switching things up this week, starting the game with Overtime! We talk to Canadian TV and film personality Dave Lawrence. Dave is one of the guiding forces behind FUBAR, FUBAR II and FUBAR: Age of Computer. We take a meandering wander through Dave's journey as a producer, actor and director, and find out what lessons he's learned through his journey.

Sorry we're late this week. Roger was in Ottawa on a business trip where he saw something that would make Dave go nuts.

Ward 1 alderwhatever Ward Sutherland is compelled by an anecdote to regulate AirBnB in our city. Roger has a problem with that. Dave not as much.

Dave wrapped up watching the second season of Stranger Things, was suitably underwhelmed. He also saw the Justice League movie; was suitably whelmed.

This week things are all topsy-turvey at the NTL.

Dave CLEARS HIS THROAT about how the American political divide seems to be coming home to roost in Alberta, how it's hard to be in the middle these days, and how similar the far Left and Right really are.

We talk about veterans really want, and the "War on Christmas".

Roger in WATCHA WATCHIN' tells us about Kewvin Spacey's woes, and talks about Netflix's "The Babysitter". Dave thinks you should watch Fringe.

The guys wonder why dressing as your favourite Disney character is politically incorrect whereas dressing as though you live below the poverty line is somehow permissable.

Dave doesn't like horror movies, but it's not what you think. Also... what's your favourite horror movie that nobody seems to know about?

And of course Roger & Dave share their thoughts on the new leader of the United Conservative Party.

This week on the podcast, the guys break down the Calgary election, from a number of angles. We go inside the the negotiations between the embodiment of the city and the Flames. The grappling story of a life saved and the furor that develops. Roger CLEARS HIS THROAT about whether racism was a factor in the election, and in WHATCHAWATCHING We talk Jagmeet Singh's hair, and when do shows "Jump the Shark".

(Not the one Dave saw, but still a good example of) Jagmeet Singh wrapping his Dumalla.

It's Election Day in Calgary, and Roger and Dave walk you through the Wards and run down the election issues in their own unique style.

Still deciding who to vote for? Can't really help you, unless you're basing your vote on funny names. How close did NTL get to being correct? We'll know soon enough.

This week on the National Talky League, Roger and Dave ponder the Calgary Municipal Election and the state of politics in general.
