This week, J.R. steps into Nerd Expo territory armed with humor, curiosity, and possibly the most budget-friendly cape in Canadian history. What starts as a lighthearted adventure turns into a quiet, powerful moment when he meets a young blind student whose simple truth stops him in his tracks sometimes the world is already loud enough.

From comedy stages to grocery aisles guided by AI, J.R. reflects on accessibility, perspective, and the surprising ways people choose to experience life. It is funny, thoughtful, and deeply human… with just enough heart to linger after the laughter fades. Remember to subscribe to this podcast wherever you get your Podcasts.

In this week’s episode of Tuesday Stories With J.R. Bjornson, I dive into one of those classic parenting moments where the truth comes back around… and hits you right in the face. I’ve always believed in giving my kids straightforward, 

no-nonsense answers. But lately, I’m realizing that being a little too honest can spark some unexpected conversations, especially when your kids start repeating your words to each other like tiny philosophers in the back seat.

From innocent questions about what happens after we die, to my boys suddenly discussing mortality like a pair of seven-year-old monks, this episode unpacks how honesty can shape them, spook them, and teach me a thing or two about gentleness, timing, and the art of sugarcoating.

It’s funny, it’s heartfelt, and it’s one of those real-life stories every parent has lived through in one form or another.

Tune in, laugh with me, and maybe rethink how you answer your next “Dad, I have a question…

Welcome to today's episode where we remember the stuff we ate for lunch growing up. This is a different format. This episode was also recorded on TikTok live. Heads up, this will not be a regular type of recording. I much rather enjoy just talking into the microphone and not keeping an eye on a live stream at the same time. But it's always fun to try something new. Hope you enjoy this episode and I hope you have a wonderful week. Thank you for the lovely support lots of love your buddy, your host J.R. Bjornson.
