An imp almost sabotages the podcast, and the hosers have forgotten how to talk to their friends and family due to isolation in episode 18: Alphabet Girls. We get incredibly sidetracked during our Double Double, but find our way back to speculate if #aliensexist, and moan about #mentalhealthweek. We discuss financial and emotional warfare between millennials and the aging population, and Jenna marks all our grandparents as racists. We then work through how homeless shelters are managing the COVID-19 crisis in lieu of homeless advocates suing the City of Toronto. Finally, we bring back the gun debate, AGAIN, as Trudaddy passed a law banning all ‘assault style’ weapons, and Ainsley learns she does not know her own power, but knows the power of a gun. Sonia tries to end the podcast early, but the mail stealing absolute unit still makes his way in.

Brayden brings her cheswick of a coffee, and Ainsley and Jenna do their best impressions of men on coke, in Episode 17: Karen Conspiracy. We talk about meme names and debate whether weed smokers are the worst drug users in today’s Double Double featuring #Karen and #420day. The tragedy in Nova Scotia leads us to discuss the RCMP’s role in the emergency alert flub, the predictable reiteration of the gun debate, and media coverage of mass shootings. We then discuss how environmental standards may be in jeopardy because of the pandemic and the complications behind suggested “fake news” laws to put conspiracy theorists in facebook jail. Join us in celebrating our very first non-human absolute unit.

The hosers catch up on their Easter long weekend escapades and dive into this weeks spicy Double Double covering #NationalHornyDay and #KeeptheBorderClosed. In yet another Corona-packed episode, they discuss the potential elimination of the handshake post-pandemic, preferences of varying cultural greeting rituals, and the wider cost of losing intimacy. They analyze Trudaddy’s loosening of the CERB eligibility requirements, debate the pros and cons of tracking race-based stats in scientific testing, and the wrath Justin Trudeau and Andrew Scheer faced for their family-inclusive excursions during quarantine.

Meghan Murphy is a Canadian socialist feminist and founder of Feminist Current. We ask her about getting cancelled before “cancel culture” was even a term, the feminist scene in Vancouver, the futility of the traditional left/right divide in politics, and the current controversy over recognizing biological sex. She discusses how she came to her positions on gender identity, prostitution, #MeToo, and why she got banned from Twitter. Finally, Meghan shares her suggestions for feminists who find themselves on the wrong side of the status quo.

Rhymes with baby boom, get it? Take a cruise with us as we discuss #400Canadians trapped at sea and heed the Newfoundland Health Minister’s #TinderorGrindr warning in the Double Double. Sonia and Brayden debate whether forced quarantine will lead to a baby boom, authorized by Ainsley officiating the predictions in an old-timey accent. We discuss skyrocketing sex toy sales, the Air BnB crisis, and tensions between public health expertise and common sense. Finally, we analyze some clickbait about Andrea Horwath’s son’s pandemic shitposting, and in light of his music career, pray to god that emo doesn’t come back.

According to this real, actually-spoken quote by Doc Antle: “Anyone who doesn’t listen to the Terry Foxy Ladies is insecure and broken.” For this very special episode, and in the spirit of several weeks of quarantine, the hosers discuss the new hit Netflix docuseries Tiger King, containing an impressive 4-in-1 types of exploitation (animal, human, labour, AND sexual!) and strange characters that sublimate their sexual pathologies into exotic animal ownership. We discuss Joe Exotic’s taste in men, Carole Baskin’s likeness to Karla Homolka, her husband’s likeness to Prince Charles, how cults work, the role social media plays in animal abuse, and what it would be like to be the manager of the ammo section in a Walmart in Oklahoma. Finally, we debate whether the series successfully educated viewers about animal cruelty or if this theme got buried under the character dramas. For the first time ever, Sonia likes a libertarian, and at the end, Ainsley spits facts on concrete ways to help animals in Canada.

Only time can tell whether her gamble will pay off.

Listen to us fail to have a corona-minimal episode. We discuss Papa Trudeau’s emergency response package to save us all, the new conversion therapy bill and its disparate impact on the different segments of the ever-expanding LGBTQ++, a CBC opinion piece on “woke” as a slur, whether the culling of wolves and jobs to save the caribou is worth it, and a few of our regrettable tattoos.

In a beautiful moment, Sonia realizes that although we may be done with corona, corona ain’t done with us. The Double Double covers #SnowflakeAndSafeSpace and #ReleaseTheButtHoleCut.

The quarantined hosers gather over the airwaves to share their personal experiences amid the Corona hysteria - where they reckon with co-workers misinformed hot takes, Tom Hanks’ positive diagnosis, and the greater dialogue surrounding worker’s rights. Brayden grapples with being turned away from GarfieldEATS and her Nana’s continuous revolt against social distancing. Today’s Double Double obviously includes #Coronapocalypse and the forgettable #DaylightSavingsTime.
