All Aboard! It’s time for another trip through history! Lord Stanley likely wouldn’t have had an issue with cash advancement or authorized payments, although it likely didn’t hurt to keep some gold handy (maybe he knows something about the secret treasure the SS Georgina was carrying?) How many tokens do you think the NYC Subway collects each day and what the daily value is? More than a few loonies we’re betting. Why loons and not beavers, which is Canada’s official animal, if you didn’t know eh? Rick Hansen raised quite a few loonies himself during his Man in Motion world tour to raise money and awareness for individuals living with physical disabilities. All this and more on The Time Machine with Trish and Mike.

Grab your ticket and watch your step as you hop aboard The Time Machine with Trish and Mike for another weekly adventure through time. On this week’s episode we pause and reflect on the past year. A year ago the world realized the devastating effects of Covid-19 and countries everywhere went into various states of lockdown. Today, with vaccines being rolled out and some countries effectively Covid-19 free we talk about how to move forward and what life may look like post Covid-19. Some calming reassurance was definitely required this year. We discuss two different events involving leadership and their effect on people across the globe. What goes together like peas and carrots? Storms and cookies! The Storm of the Century affected millions of people back in ‘93. How do these storms happen and are we prepared for the next one? At least have some Girl Guide cookies handy to enjoy while you wait for power to be restored to your home. Girl Guides or Girl Scouts? We compare and contrast the differences between our two countries and see who has the better cookies (hint… it isn’t Canada for very good reasons!) KFC? Popeyes? Jollibees? Which restaurant chain has the best finger licking good chicken? We narrow down which fowl is foul and which is cock of the walk as we celebrate the birthday of an important fast food mogul.

It’s that time again for another weekly dose of history! All aboard The Time Machine with Trish and Mike. On this week’s episode we discuss the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian Flight 370 and the possible theories put forward as to what happened. Who could have helped discover its whereabouts? Magellan, the first to circumnavigate the globe was an excellent explorer but a very poor diplomate. Find out what “The Full Magellan'' means and the connection to the periodic table. Sorry Mario, your princess is in another castle. Find out the dark truth behind The Mushroom Kingdom in time to celebrate Mario Day. Speaking of made up holidays, have you heard of Cinco de Marcho? As we race through 2021 (how is it already March?) find out how racing at Daytona originally started. Find out all this and more on this week's episode!

All aboard! It’s time for another historical adventure! This week on The Time Machine with Trish and Mike we discuss the first celebration of Mardi Gras in North America (and the unique Canadian connection). It’s another Tutoring session with Trish (you’ll want to hear the theme song Mike composed!) Hey batter-batter! We examine the heliocentric model of the universe before examining what one young girl was able to do at all 30 MLB stadiums. Johnny Cash has us making isolation playlists (It is doubtful “My Heart Will Go On” is on either one of our lists…) and Florida celebrates becoming a state this week. Can Trish properly pronounce some local spots? Make sure you have your ticket handy for this week’s ride through time to find out!

All aboard! It’s time for another journey on The Time Machine with Trish and Mike! You have heard of when pigs fly, but what about cows? You might think we are a little loony for discussing some unusual currency facts this week, but a toonie for your thoughts about it? A toonie would for sure get you a Double-Double at Tim Horton’s - how did the iconic Canadian chain start anyhow? You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to find out, although Astronauts Mark and Scott Kelly could likely point you in the right direction. Worst case you could always use a phone book to call someone who might know...well if people still use a phone book that is. Definitely, someone who could have eaten their fair share of Tim Horton treats was Robert Wadlow. Find out what world record he still holds to this date! Treats are always wonderful to share with friends. Crikey! We wonder what John Glenn would have wanted to snack on while orbiting the Earth in Friendship 7. Feeling a little puzzled? Join us for another adventure to find out some answers!

Pack your bag, grab your ticket and settle in for another episode of The Time Machine with Trish and Mike as they go on another amazing adventure through time! This week’s episode has its fair share of mysteries as we uncover the truth about King Tut’s curse and its many victims. Misplaced sports paraphernalia raises some questions. The establishment of ASCAP and copyright laws causes some concerns. Mata Hari, the famous Dutch exotic dancer turned infamous spy leaves us with some queries. An image of a tiny blue dot causes a slight freakout and the launch of YouTube causes general curiosity about the first video ever uploaded to the platform.

On today’s adventure through time Trish and Mike discuss the somber anniversaries of NASA’s two Space Shuttle disasters. What have we learned about space safety in the last 35 years? While America was building a space program and declaring a man would walk on the moon by the end of the 1960s, Canada had an entirely different problem that required a solution. You may experience some deja vu as we discuss Groundhog Day and how our two countries celebrate this completely bogus day. What are your predictions: early spring or late winter? Finally, cooping, toasting and first impressions are explored (any guesses on which literary giants this may refer to?) Make sure you have your ticket handy, hop on board and find out with us!

Welcome back to The Time Machine with Trish and Mike!

On this week's episode, Trish and Mike jump back in time to the 1500s where Trish gives us a little Tutor-ing lesson on one of King Henry the VIII’s marriages. We blast off to the 1980s when Hulkamania began to run wild and what about HULK Hogan caught the attention of Marvel Comics? Mike will explain! We travel back to the 1900s to explore two very important developments to technology and medicine before leaping forward to the 1960s and 70s where we discuss two critical situations that could have really caused a meltdown. Great Scott! We have an exciting episode for you! Hop on board and find out!

On today's adventures in history join Trish and Mike as they discuss the events that occurred in Washington, D.C. last week. Ever wondered about the origins of Coca-Cola and their crazy plan to introduce a new value of US currency? When was the last time anyone has seen the Loch-Ness Monster? (Spoiler: It was more recently than you probably think.) Why did Edward the VIII abdicate the throne? And what happens in this week in 2038? Have your ticket ready and board The Time Machine to find out!
