The Open Road Podcast

Calvin is addicted to beer. Jeremy just got back from a margarita induced bender of a vacation and keeps blabbering on about how he will never EVER set a goal again

What the h-e-double hockey sticks happened this month?

This week the fellas discuss these things and more. Calvin joined a badminton league and Jer goes on about reading the first and last chapter of a self-help book.

A candid and unfiltered conversation between two friends... nay, brothers! This episode is basically an out of control roller coaster of emotion that twists and turns from one topic to the next.

Calvin is back from a LONG sabbatical from his life (which is basically already a never-ending vacation in Cottage Country). Meanwhile, in his absence, Jeremy got sucked into purchasing a $5.99 poker app, and has not disclosed how much he has spent on in-app purchases...

On this episode we make an effort to wrap-up the year by discussing some of our accomplishments, along with our multitude of failures.

We also share our Spotify "Wrapped" Lists, which clearly hold the answers to the universe of our place in it. In 2019, Calvin will be consulting Cardi-B for guidance and wisdom, while Jeremy will try to find meaning in lyric-less music. Cheers 2018, thanks for being good to us.

What was intended to be a mini episode to keep us close to our 1st and 15th release schedule turned into this 30 minute conversation about Christmas, boutique stores and what to do when your colleague walks into the bathroom and starts talking.

The guys just got back from their trip to Pittsburgh and wanted to share some stories. The BC Roadshow and company were both great. Despite the many challenges faced on the road, the gents emerged victorious. Though they put up a great fight, the broken belts did not win the day.

if you're anything like us, you probably get more comments about smelling bad than you do good... There must be a better way!

There's more than meets the nose when it comes to bodily scents, so we invited expert alchemist and curator Douglas Smythe of Phoenix Shaving Co. to walk us through his world of artisan accoutrements.

From refining his own essential oils, to blowing our minds on how to actually shave correctly, we were blown away with the amount of detail and thought that goes into each and every product Doug and his team are creating.

Tune in for a great conversation about the history of shaving, and how you can find more adventure in your life by taking time for some sweet sweet self care.

There are those who grill, and there are those who BBQ. And no, they are not “kinda the same thing”. One represents dedication to a craft as old as meat itself, and the other is merely the act of searing horizontal lines on a frozen patty or tube of pork scraps.

Today on the pod we are talking with Shawn Walchef, owner of Cali Comfort BBQ. Shawn is a rebel in his state, bringing authentic southern BBQ to a place that mostly just appreciates fish tacos, poke bowls and Americanos: Southern California!

We really only scratch the tip of the ribeye with Shawn, but still managed to get some incredible insight from his journey into the fascinating world of BBQ.
