We're joined this week by Randy's uncle, lifelong Blue Bomber fan, and undisputed drinking champ, Donny Hammer! We chat about Randy's 18th birthday, the impacts of Covid restrictions on small business, the likelihood of a CFL season, how much the Roughriders suck, the potential Edmonton Escargots, British Home Children, remembering Gerri Hammer, intermittent fasting, and more! We're glad we finally got Donny on the show and we look forward seeing him soon!

This week the Two Idiots are joined by Brittany Penner, and as the episode number suggests, it's a great one! We briefly discuss her experiences as a doctor dealing with Covid in the Southeast, and move on to chat about the challenges growing up as an indigenous person adopted into a Mennonite family, finding her identity (and her birth family), her recent essays featured in Macleans, the Globe and Mail, and Huffington Post about those experiences, racism, and ADHD (Reg and Randy both almost definitely have it), Randy's thoughts about his own birth dad, and so much more! We had a powerful conversation and we look forward to having Brittany back soon! Enjoy!

This week's episode begins as an impromptu classic solo Idiots show, but about halfway through fellow podcaster and longtime radio host, Shadoe Davis joins in! Reg and Randy start off chatting about the fired Canucks anthem singer, Elliot Page, Ozark, federal Covid debt, and Michael Caine. Shadoe pops in and we chat about accents, Pallister, stage names, WWE, satire websites, and more. Hoping to get Shadoe back for a full length episode one of these days!

With Covid cases spiking across Manitoba, and specifically in our community, we decided to compile this behemoth of an episode. We hear testimonies from local healthcare workers dealing with Covid on the frontlines, the perspective from "essential" retail staff, the Regional Medical Officer of Health for Southern Health, Dr Davinder Singh rejoins the show, and Wab Kinew and Dougald Lamont join us to give their views from the political side. We discuss the strain and struggles our healthcare workers are facing, the community supports, the new "normals", and the impatient customers. As well as vaccine news, more Covid mythbusting, and how we move forward. We hope you gain something from all these perspectives and we encourage you to share this episode around to help tell the stories of people working so hard for us!

Randy's little brother Mack is back on the show and chaos reigns! It's off the rails immediately, but we work our way through anti-mask protests, rubberneckers, life lessons, Among Us, Urban Dictionary slang, some Rapid Fire questions, "Charizarding", new music, and whole lot of other nonsense. Always a blast and who knows, maybe he'll eventually be our first 3-time repeat guest...
