September 28, 2022 The Pandemic: Marvel Marathons and Beer Bread
It’s a topic long past its expiry date. Are people still even talking about it? The COVID-19 Pandemic!

Remember that time we were all in iso?
I should’ve invested in Zoom stocks for sure.
Can you list the Marvel movies in chronological order?

How did we all succumb to our governments’ ridiculous mandates surrounding this virus? I actually don’t have the answers for you but ..

September 13, 2022 Vancouver Has Perfected The Cloning Process!
No lie, everybody here looks the exact same. It's incredible! So how do you measure up?

The look. What is it?
The vibe. Do you get it?
The iconic beverage. You can't not fall for it!

Can confirm, I'm not a clone yet - but I'm feeling less and less like an individual, that's for sure!

August 31, 2022 From Riches to Rags - The Raging Wage Gap
Today we dissect the raging wage gap and break down what an average minimum wage salary here really looks like.

We talk minimum wage and zero penalties.
Why do sick days here not exist or accrue?
And it's always hustle culture here where I'm expected to live to work even though I believe in the total opposite.

I can't believe I accepted the bare minimum for so long. And for such a developed country, I still struggle to understand why the average wage is barely enough to cover the cost of living sometimes. Or maybe it’s just me…

August 23, 2022 OMG Do You Have An Accent?
My Canadian buddy Ryan joins me today - even though he barely ever understands me!
NGL, I might've tricked him with some real old Aussie English haha

Ryan, whack a banger on!
This one’s my shout!
Can I get a double-double?? Please explain. Please explain.

For an English speaking country, I seem to speak some alien dialect here that no one understands. And vice versa, eh??
