The Hello Calgary Podcast

The newly formed LA Riots Crew discuss the history of rock and modern music, and debate the artists of significance that must be included in a list of the top influential artists of all time. New guest Sabrina Corinna joins BMW, Apostle Matthew and the Prophet Esau for a skip down Penny Lane to where the streets have no name.

The PIDLLP crew reveals the results of their poetry challenge. While sipping Negronis the boys recite literature and relish in easy jazz, reminiscent of the basement cigar lounge on 1st Street Calgary in the 90s. Please comment if you remember the name of the lounge.

The Prophet Esau is joined by Easy Evan, Infectious and Q. Jr (aka White Chocolate Mocha) to try and differentiate between poetry written by humans and artificial intelligence.

The Prophet, Easy and Infectious change up their usual routine. Mix yourself an Old Fashioned and join the boys as they share, taste and critique classic and obscure cocktails.

The prophet talks politics and power with the biggest proponent of socialism, BMW. They talk about their preference for right and/or left, capitalist vs socialist, and the basic assumptions about human condition. How do you govern selfish human nature,and provide for the common good? Why are both capitalism and communism doomed to failure? What does global governance 2.0 look like?  Join in the conversation with our guest the Apostle Matthew, leave a comment and fight the powers that be!

Infectious,the Prophet and Easy challenge their grape knowledge and taste buds in a blind wine tasting.  Featuring a Frappato, a pair of Chianti Classicos from Italy and Costco and a variety of other wines from around the world, including a Hello Calgary staple, the Peller Family vineyards dry red.  The boys blindly sample ten wines to guess their identity and rate them, to determine who is the true sommelier.

The Prophet, Easy, and Infectious don their thespian hoods and attempt the first read through of Easy Evan's original play "A Christmas Classic". Settle in and enjoy this timeless work of art.

The conversation continues over some spicy chicken from the unofficial sponsor of the show, Flirty Bird. Paired with an Italian DOC wine that FestaVal Lids brought, Easy Evan challenges her accent with his own distinct pronunciation.

The Prophet Esau and Easy Evan are joined by new guest FestaVal Lids to talk travel. The group offer their advice on the best ways to travel over a bottle of Bordeaux Château de Courteillac and share their stories from their favourite destinations.

Dan and Wally from the Lemon Square are back in town, dropping Aussie slang and bringing their special brand of sunshine from the west coast. Joined by Mom, the gang talk turkey before indulging in their own family dinner on this Thanksgiving special.
