  • Episode 59 - The King and Spadina Debate

    WE HAVE TO TALK. (Also, how many times can I say "King and Spadina"?)

    I finally caved and joined a dating app and I met an urban planner there. Remember when I said I would never date an urban planner? Oh well, moving on.

    Anyways, I mentioned that my favourite intersection was King and Spadina and well…he had a lot to say.

    This episode makes no sense and I had too much wine prior to recording. Please enjoy the hot mess that this episode is. I don’t think I substantiated my points well but I am open to opinions.

    6. Episode 57 - Good Morning, Baltimore!

      I just came back from Baltimore and I LOVED IT. I think that everyone needs to add that to their list of USA cities to visit. Some of the places that you need to visit are:

      • Maryland Art Place
      • Current Space
      • WC Harlan
      • Ministry of Brewing

        • Also, I meant gorgeous Brownstone buildings. I can’t believe I forgot the name! This is more of an urban planning style episode, with the regular comedic flair. 

        And listen to me be a guest on the podcast, Pessimistic at Best! It's the collaboration you never knew you needed!

          • Bonus Episode 5 - After Ever Happy (A Movie Review)

            Why is Hardin Scott wearing black slides and socks? Hardin Scott WOULD NEVER! And that is my biggest issue with this movie.

            I was so excited to see “After Ever Happy”. I stayed up all night looking forward to finding out what was going to happen in the finale of the movie series. When I tell you all that I was so disappointed to find out about the surprise 5th movie, “After Everything”. In this Bonus Episode, I review “After Ever Happy” and discuss:

            • Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Tessa and Hardin
            • Review of the Movie and Comparison to the Book
            • My Rating of the Movie (6/10)
            • Thoughts on 4th Movie and the upcoming 5th movie

              • Also, if you cannot wait to see the movie and want to see it in clips, you can see it here: https://twitter.com/justclipsaeh
