In this very official episode of Podcast Is Broken, Brittlestar, Lisa, and Steve discuss Canada’s newly shuffled cabinet, debate the tallest minister, and offer life-changing (or at least breakfast-improving) life hacks—like how to properly cut a bag of milk and why butter deserves its own peeler. They also dig into the increasingly weird experience of crossing the U.S. border, the dangers of forgetting history, and why some folks seem hellbent on staying stupid. It’s politics, sociology, spray paint, and slide whistles—all in one episode. You’re welcome, Canada.
