    About this Episode

    We’re turning 40 on Easter weekend AND released our latest film short??!? Goodness we’ve been busy! So busy we could only manage a 30 minute mini-episode this week.

    The blue wave has replaced the Orange across Alberta again, the Avalanche crushed the Flames, our Easter film short might be slightly offensive BUT everything is gonna be ok because we found a real life, musician named Rob and he’s writing us Sock jingles and they are absolutely outstanding. We think we might keep him.

    E090 - The First Dose is Thick

    It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…. Better yet, we’ll just tell you that we don’t know about UFOs, but if you click here we’ll explain to you what we don’t know even though we don’t know enough to know how to tell you what we do or do not know… Hint: It’s in the name.

    They click-baited us with promises of UFO clarification, but all we got is more of the same. Panda "Overtoned", Dropbear loves Cruella, and… click here to find out how we save the world.

    E089 - Not Even On The Radar

    E089 - Not Even On The Radar

    When UFOs show up and barely make it on the radar (no pun intended) that’s definitely… something to think about. Over some good gin and a new sock jingle, of course!

    We talk drones and UFOs, review Viva la Dirt League’s "Baelin’s Route", and muse over BroodX cicadas and wildlife conservation. Not a bad way to spend a typical wet, cool Victoria Day Long weekend.

    E088 - Crossing Swords With Nobody Episode

    E088 - Crossing Swords With Nobody Episode

    We've got two reviews today - and we’re not angry with one, per se… just disappointed. Which (if we take any cue from our parents) is worse than being mad. Much, much worse.

    A man from Italy finally gets busted after skipping work for 15 years, Panda tests her taste buds by doing the ol’ orange juice & toothpaste trick, and we celebrate Calgary’s Centre for Newcomers for all the good they do.

    E087 - Slap Your Chicken Episode

    E087 - Slap Your Chicken Episode

    The most important question we have to ask ourselves - Is Panda’s no taste and smell strong enough to withstand a chicken cooked by a robotic slapping machine?

    Our podcast isn’t just about the science of slapping chickens this week; we also talk about DMX and Prince Philip, agonize over Eivor’s bird-eyes in AC Valhalla, and vow to send a Sock Rocket package to The Good Neighbour Project.

    E086 - Peep Into the Bigfoot Family War Room Episode

    We review Bigfoot Family: the most controversial, dangerous movie ever to grace our Albertan television screens. Never before have we witnessed anything so…. Wait, is that a jive-talking raccoon??

    Even more perplexing than magical Bigfoot offspring, is marshmallow-flavoured Pepsi. What is this world coming to?! Thank goodness we have a new Sock Jingle, and wonderful people like Judy Obregone of Abandoned Ones Animal Rescue. We salute you, Judy.

    E085 - The Capo-no-you-d'int Episode

    Thanks (?) to our knack for reviewing bad movies, we were asked to review “CAPONE”… and boy, was it ever… a thing... that we did. Sort of.

    The Alberta War Room attacks an animated film for children, we praise two gentlemen in Fukushima who care for pets left behind, and we have a new sock jingle! Plus, Dropbear tries the “Burnt Orange” trick to bring Panda’s taste and smell back the only way he knows how - disastrously.

    E084 - The Seven Footer Episode

    We’re recording at Kensington Studio this weekend but we can’t seem to escape the snowblowers outside. We think they’re stalking us. Send help. Or…. less snow.

    Filming commercials in the time of Covid, sharks with feet are keeping Australia on their toes, Netflix has some hits and misses when it comes to Reality TV, and a tiny Koala gets a new lease on life thanks to... a Dentist??!?

    E083 - The Covid Exploded Episode

    We’re back after 4 weeks off - but THE SHOW MUST GO ON - albeit a little short of breath, but un-isolated this time, and just in time to completely ignore Valentines Day. 

    We discuss how Panda’s Covid prognosis quickly went downhill, plus Gorilla Glue hairdos and toothpaste mohawks, how to escape deserted islands with or without a TV crew, and we think back to those who saved our world over the last month. We appreciate all of you.

    E082 - Real Life Covid Episode

    E082 - Real Life Covid Episode

    This week we go remote because Dropbear and Panda have been separated by COVID-19. Yep. Poor Panda caught ‘The Vid’ at her work in Health Services and is finding the positives in her positive; Dropbear has been living in isolated exile to ensure it doesn’t spread. 

    So this week we’re doing the podcast via ZOOM. Not ones to be downers, we found some fun news about some out-of-this-world samosas, honest menus, and food that is horrible to put in your mouth if you can’t taste or smell it.

    E081 - The Review Preview Episode

    We do our best to do a quick review of 2020 without going completely insane - is THAT what gave Panda a headache? Or was it all the cookies she ate during quarantine? At least we isolated, unlike… Canadian politicians.

    What will 2021 bring? Aliens, probably. Do these aliens have feet? Do they wear socks? We hope so! We’d love to give them some socks. Unless they have tentacles, then things might get awkward.
