Something Wiki This Way Comes

From the archives, it's an episode of the podcast we recorded almost two years ago, back when Luke Cecelon was still in Winnipeg! Join the boys as they tackle organizing dvds- a topic that's as timely now as it ever was. Once again Jesse is left to defend the article's honour from Thomas and Luke's relentless petitions for "logic" and "practicality."

This SWTWC is a special episode for a couple of reasons: first, we have awesome improviser and A–level curler Laurie MacDonell joining us, and this is last episode where Thomas and I will record in the same room. Yes, Big T is moving to LA, and we just know he'll succeed what with all of his cumulative knowledge from a year of reading WikiHow. Anyways, do you hate talking on the phone? We certainly do! We hate talking into anything, which makes it weird that we do a podcast. This week we discuss "How to Use the Telephone." Jesse opens up about the time he wasn't even close to winning a vacation, we learn about Thomas' prank phone call gone wrong, and Laurie dives into what the best answering machine message should be.

Comedian Dana Smith joins us to talk about how to look like a computer cracker. NOT a computer hacker. These are very different things, we can't emphasize that enough. Thomas harbours malicious intent, Jesse translates things into "English", and Dana discusses the pitfalls of sneezing while serving.

Musician Ben Sellick joins us to discuss a very serious topic: how to LOVE the taste of that plain, flavourless, dull–as–dirt clear stuff we all love to hate: Water. It's a wild ride, and the improv gets, shall we say, a little BLUE (ha ha), but don't worry, we still manage to reference M. Night Shyalaman movies and borscht–slurping grandmas. And as a bonus, enjoy not ONE, but TWO dead–on impressions of Canadian Prime Ministers! Thomas breaks things down for the layman, Jesse remembers the saddest episode of Mythbusters, and Ben flawlessly describes a bell.

We've got a real banger this time! Comedian Paul Little joins us to talk about writing metal lyrics. And we don't just talk about writing– we write an entire song during the episode! We take a real hard look at society and expose the dark underbelly of... LISTS. Thomas waxes nostalgic about Weird Al, Jesse gives his well-thought out, nuanced take on 2016 American Presidential election, and Paul, well, Paul screams.

Are you a jock? A prep? Whatever the heck a "scene kid" is? Do you want to be? Actor/ improviser Robyn Slade joins us to teach you how to reinvent yourself over the summer. Should you learn to Nollie? Work out three times? Or should you just buy some new clothes? Robyn talks about her high school wardrobe, Jesse is confused by a certain type of summer camp, and Thomas reminisces about a scary friend. Oh, and a BIG DISCLAIMER: you may need money.

We're back after a little Fringe-induced hiatus! This one of our longest episodes yet, for learning one of our shortest skills: how to eat six Saltine crackers in ONE MINUTE. They said it couldn't be done. They said it was impossible. Well, we SPIT in their faces, whoever they are. Granted, neither Thomas nor Jesse have actually tried the six Saltine challenge, but nevertheless we trust wholeheartedly in the wisdom of WikiHow. This time around the boys misremember urban legends, make a lot of religious references, and talk way, WAY too much about "gumming."

Steady... steady... that's it, make no sudden movements... If you're one of our *cough* THOUSANDS *cough* of listeners who tune in during their daily commute, then you're in luck. We may just save you from plummeting off of a cliff to probable certain doom. You're welcome, by the way. Actors and Improvisers Kevin Ramberran and Justin Fry join us this week for some vertically vociferous venting. The pun of the show award goes to Thomas Toles, for a fantastic bit of japery involving a certain red-headed actress. And remember: if your chauffeur is growing a moustache, he's probably plotting your demise.

Comedian Cathy Herbert joins us to talk about the mysterious world of "Horse Whispering." We'll answer many of your questions- how to approach a horse, what diploma programs to enrol in, what shape of pen you should build, and, of course, how to keep your taxes in order. Because, as we all know, Horse Whispering is ALL about the $$$$$.

Actor and human Daniel Chen joins us to explain how to make people believe you're a "robot in disguise", to coin a phrase. How should you speak? How much trivia should you know? Is it okay to make jokes and be sarcastic? Jesse bleeps and bloops, Thomas explores his emotions, and Dan draws several blanks, but bounces back strong. Listen and prepare yourself for the inevitable singularity, or a M.A.L.C.O.L.M. in the Middle reboot.
