Back by popular demand (jk, we needed something to do to get us excited about life)! This episode we skip another year to the dazzling future of July 2025.

Besides that they discuss some ideas of what they want to do with this iteration of the podcast and some other stuff too!

Enjoy the listen, let us know what you think.

Peace be with you.

This one was from a month after the last episode (episode 12). Raiden moved out to Ottawa and Erik had a renovation of his house in full swing.

The guys discuss how the summer is going, moving, life logistics, trying to be healthy, time blindness and haziness, biking to work, French criminals, if crime is going up or down, Ontario car thefts, Raiden's moped "disappearing", the Kendrick vs. Drake beef, the Diddy situation, playoff hockey, future of the Flames, pro sports in Ottawa, politics, war and peace, and other stuff as well.

It's a good one, let us know what you think!

Hello! - It's been 680 days since we posted our last episode with Emily. Man time flies.

This episode was recorded April 18th, 2024. Raiden and Erik discuss barriers to podcasting. The different pressures they face in adult life and how they are reassessing their approach.

The guys discuss the drudgery of looking for work and apply for jobs, new years resolutions, pool and chess, fighting off depression, weight loss and fitness, stress eating and stress management (or lack there of), local politics, and much more.

This one is pretty raw and in my opinion (this is Raiden typing) pretty deep and real. Scary one to put out there but I think we touch on some powerful stuff.

It's good to get back into this. Hope you are well!

P.S. this one cuts out at the end pretty abruptly, so just a heads up

Apologies for the new format. Audio and video may be a bit off; also there is some video footage missing. It's all explained in the episode.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this episode Erik and Raiden take you behind the scenes to discuss the ups and downs of starting a podcast. The boys talk about the production, the studio, the finances, the parts they like and the parts they don't like.

This special 10th episode is a wild ride. Raiden takes over producer AJ's role and... it shows. He struggled with matching the audio to the video. The video is in black and white because it looks artistic and raw, and it distracts from the audio being off a bit.

This episode touches on project management, time management, overcoming psychological blocks, goal setting, and stepping out of the comfort zone.

Erik and Raiden ask the listeners for feedback. So please leave a comment or send Erik or Raiden a text or email about what you think and what you would like to see! We are curious to hear what YOU the listener are thinking.

Sorry all loyal listeners for the long delay in posts.

--------------------------------------------------------

In this episode hosts Erik and Raiden engage in a talk with the one and only Logan Freedman. Logan is Raiden's close friend from university having originally bonded over a fierce competition of door-to-door sales of nuts to people who didn't really want them.

This episode is a good one. Logan introduces himself and asks why the hell is he even on this podcast and questions what the heck kind of podcast this is anyways. He then talks about his passion for photography and anime blended into his current pursuit of becoming the greatest cosplay photographer there ever was. Logan discusses goal setting, skill development, and the hard work to infiltrate and become infamous in the cosplay scene.

Logan also talks about “decoding” the algorithm to achieve a following on the popular Instagram and TikTok.

Logan then recounts the successes and setbacks he faced in his acting career. And his desire to reconnect with his inner superstar. The boys talk about the film industry in Calgary and Toronto, conspiracy theories about the tv series “Suites”,  and what it’s like to be on the set of Degrassi. Viewers will get to meet Logan’s def dog Lucky and learn about what Logan like’s about living in Toronto.

Raiden asks what Logan would like to be doing if time didn’t exist and he gives an interesting answer. And in the climax of the episode the trio then debates whether Anakin Skywalker would have gone to the dark side even if he was granted the title of Jedi Master. Including more talk of anime, super heroes, and movies the three enjoy.

To wrap up, Logan talks to the boys about intimacy. He shows Raiden and Erik a bracelet to bond with your significant other, how to take care of your sexual and reproductive health, and most importantly how to have better orgasms.

If this sounds interesting to you, give it a listen. You will be entertained.
