When Allison Currie decided to start dating again, she found was things had changed from the last time she had been in circulation. The creation of dating apps changed the dating landscape. No problem, Allison is highly adaptable and has a smart phone. Her foray into the dating world started with Match, then Tinder and then Bumble. What she found was enough strange behaviour to write a book. She hasn't written the book yet, but it was enough to appear on this podcast. Allison's story is one of many in a dating world that features the circulation of lewd photos, the acceptance of "ghosting", and bad behaviour. Many of these have been explored in the past on a favourite podcast of mine, Why Oh Why with Andrea Silenzi.  We even try to break down if the apps are just permission for men to behave badly in advance of getting to the relationship. Finally, I suspect that there are tales to be told from other side about females behaving badly on dating apps - if you want to tell your story, just e-mail me.

Every Montreal Expos Fan remembers the day. October 19th, 1981. Rick Monday's Home Run in the top of the ninth in Game 5 of the National League Division Series was the beginning of the end of this cherished baseball franchise. Fans waited ten years for the next crop of players to make a run at the World Series; which culminated in a strike that squashed the Expos hopes again in 1994. In this podcast, I speak with Danny Gallagher about his book and intertwine my memories from that era with the conversation.

Danny Gallagher has written books about both. His latest book is called "The Expos, The Dodgers, and the Home Run That Changed Everything. He spoke with us about that great period in Expos from 1979-81 where the Expos came close every year, but never made it to the World Series.

Blue Monday: one of the most unforgettable days in Canadian baseball history.

Danny Gallagher leads readers up to that infamous day in October 1981 when Rick Monday of the Los Angeles Dodgers hit a home run off of Montreal Expos pitcher Steve Rogers in the ninth inning, giving the Dodgers a berth in the World Series. Readers will be taken back to 1976 when a five-year plan for winning the National League championship was set in place by the Expos with the hiring of experienced manager Dick Williams. Gallagher examines old narratives about Blue Monday and talks to all the key players involved in the game, unearthing secrets and stories never before told. #NetGalley #BlueMonday

I first met Don Woodstock sometime in 2007 when he called me every day for a month asking if he could come to my office and give a presentation about changing the verbiage on our radio station. He wanted us to say "Recycle Day" instead of Garbage Day". His reasoning was to change the mindset of the listeners and to think Recycle instead of Garbage. After a while I thought about it and believed our young audience would be cool with it. They were and eventually Don found his way to city hall and got a motion passed that forever changed the way his city spoke about taking out the trash. 

Now Don is looking to do the same at City Hall. He wants to become Mayor of Winnipeg. Don is a down to earth guy who has ideas. They are progressive and sometimes out there. But his views on crime and the environment have always interested me; especially how other cities have fulfilled the ideas he has tabled including banning plastic bags and bottled water. So in the midst of an election in Winnipeg, I asked him to come over and we could have a political conversation.

The NFL Season is upon us again and the league finds itself in controversy for the third year in a row. This time Nike has released an advance copy of their TV ad on YouTube, days before the kickoff to the season. Once again, America is caught up in this odd debate over whether kneeling during the national anthem is disrespectful or a form of free speech. 

America has essentially lost its mind. That's when I decided to call up my friend Melz on the Mic in Killeen, Texas. He does the midday show at Kiss 103.1FM - to a largely African American audience in a city where military presence is plentiful with Fort Hood next door. Melz is a veteran of the 2003 Iraq War and has first hand experience with profiling from the police. He's lived the issue from both sides of the flag. Melz told me about a numnber of hypocracies inside the issue that we never consider everyday. 

Enjoy the commercial. Enjoy the Football Season.

My good friend Melz on the Mic steers me through the foggy issue that is Colin Kaepernick and the Star Spangled Banner.

What Happens If I do a podcast with a Comedian? 

Jacy Lafontaine is funny. So I just had to have her on a podcast to talk about being a comedian, writing, reading the audience and when it's a good time to smoke a joint. Jacy was born in Oshawa, grew up in Cornwall and isn't afraid to be blunt. We did find out that she does have some limits and no-go's. As for her taste in men, she is fine with the beards, and appreciates the honesty. The half hour together was fiun - and her future bright. Everyone needs a friend like Jacy. 

Connect with her through her Facebook page.

Pete Tessier and I have known each other for about 8 years now. We've both called Winnipeg home for well over ten years; nearly 20 in Pete's case. We did not grow up here which makes thing different. Pete is a west coast guy and I am an anglo-Quebecer. I have also lived in 5 time zones and have found an appreciation for every city I have lived in. Winnipeg isn't the quirkiest but close to it; it's not the best but close to it. It is the hardest to explain to people who are not from here. Which is why when this artwork that you currently see about appeared on an episode of the Simpsons, you got if you were from here. 

We have been talking about doing this epiosde for a while now. I thought we should do it sooner than later with Pete's fair and accurate Twitter rant about the city last week. https://twitter.com/Teddier/status/1029784308154855425 

Pete also made reference to an important book called Seven Fallen Feathers which you can purchase. https://houseofanansi.com/products/seven-fallen-feathers
