Total Relaxation

Hola Intellectuals! We are joined by titan of the video game industry Emma Overton to debate whether or not we’re all getting dumber in the year 2026. Also: Hades II, Oprah culture, scalp cleaning, no more new stuff, “what’s seizing you”, the Egypt stage of girlhood, forgetting which is the brake and which is the gas, math triggers a fight/fight/freeze response, bean in a wet paper towel, the dreaded Cup Assignment, we love women in STEM!!!

An eggnog-drunk Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra wish you and yours a very happy holiday season as we prepare to shed our Snake skin and triumphantly gallop into the year of the Horse 2026 🐎💨 in this ep: We field listener calls and messages about your greatest holiday fears and anxieties. Also: structural integrity at the family gathering, divorce math, the devastation of a pharmaprix gift card from a loved one, the sexiest holiday album of all time (Vespertine), and don’t forget to take care of yourself this holiday season - that’s a threat 💋💋

BOVINAPHOBIA: ever heard of it?

We have esteemed choreographer, theatre world dynamo and cow-fearing legend Holly Greco join us in the studio to tell us about her anxiety around and reverence for, you guessed it, cows!! We discuss: aliens, how big a cow head is, why milk is sexual, cows doing puzzles, the MYTH of the seven stomachs, cows being cultural/religious symbols, the power of the belly button (again), and what it smells like when a horse is shod. Moo, **** I’m a cow!

After one whole year and twenty five episodes, we've made it to the end of the first season of Total Relaxation 🥹

We'll be back in October for a brand new season with more amazing guests and even more fears, so don't you dare forget about us. In today's finale episode we wrap up and check in about all of the progress we may or may not have made during season one. City summer is for the young, we're crying for the country. Bad Air. Nancy is Dracula. Emelia is ready for an undersea colony. And a fun little surprise at the end, as a treat.

Thank you for spending this first season with us, we love and adore each and every one of you.

Byeeeeee!

Ciao, Labia! This week we're wading with extreme caution into Nancy's deep rooted fear of being offensive, and we are... afraid. Sorry!! For Nancy, The Artists Way is a gateway to sleeping on a bed of thorns. Emelia craves solitude and a salt plate. Keeping a little pocket of shame just in case. An Offended White Woman. Never let them see your squirrel.

Out of sight, out of mind, in love. This week we're joined by the absolutely delightful Chantale Demole to discuss her fears around finding love! 2/3 of us are medicated and one would be if only she could get an appointment with her doctor. Men have knives (allegedly), the biggest TV you've ever seen, and no furniture. A soothing rock on rock voice. It's hard to have S in your thirties. Get Chantale on The Traitors immediately!!

Abandon hope all ye who enter the Westmount Y in search of a dump truck ass and enough upper body strength to pull yourself out of a sinkhole. This week we're getting into The Gym (not literally) and all of the horrors that lurk within. Emelia is in the corner of the dumbbell area on high alert. Nancy had a run in with a woman in espadrilles. Numbers are the enemy. Is ringworm a worm? Don't tell me, I don't want to know.

You've heard of megalophobia (fear of large objects) but have you heard of being scared of mass quantities of objects?? (DSM-V entry prending). Nancy discuss her fear of overproduction. Suzuki says we're cooked. Community is everything. Shein makes too many pant styles. Idea for landfill garbage: cube it and launch into the sun (Emelia). Nancy thinks all billionaires have a piece of silicon stuck in their brains. Thanks for listening!!!!!

Paging AGATHA CHRISTIE!!! Our honoured guest Adam Capriolo tells us all about his struggles to remain enigmatic, secretive and ultimately? in control. Are you a golden lion tamarin or a hammerhead shark? When's the last time you had a crush? Always remain 10% jealous (therapist's advice). You've seen Basic Instinct but have you seen Interpersonal Dealings? What about Bad Impact? Glass in the eye? He can make that work. Adam's Letterboxd top 4: REVEALED.
