Fefe Dobson
November 30, 2021 13:36 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBThis week we looked at Felicia Lily Dobson aka Fefe Dobson. This episode is a PSA. Listen to her music. Overlooked by the record industry, Fefe deserved better. Now married to Yelawolf things still worked out for her and she had a good career. But she deserved better. Especially a Juno. She never won a Juno. Every Canadian wins a Juno. So how is that possible? Well, we’re here, and we’re Juno hungry. So Hunny, we need to speak to your manager.
Ed Sheeran
November 23, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 90.3 MBThis week we looked at Ed Sheeran. No offense, but what a boring bloke. He’s a great guy though! Really. It’s just things haven’t been the same lately.

Hilary Duff
November 02, 2021 02:53 - 1 hour - 97.1 MBThis week we looked at Hilary Duff. Singer, actor, owner of Stuff by Duff….she’s basically a triple threat. She even danced on Jay Leno. Google it. Overall she’s great. Lizzy Mcguire is top tier. Metamorphosis. Top tier. But after that, some hits here or there in music. But not really in the movies. A hockey husband? Not anymore. Honestly, Hilary has been all over the place lately. But not anymore. Because Hunny, we need to speak to the manager.
Jared Leto
October 19, 2021 02:38 - 47 minutes - 65.2 MBThis week we looked at Jared Joseph Leto. A 49-year-old vampire who’s actually been haunting us for thousands of years. Aside from being a great actor (turns out Brian’s a fanboy), Jared also fronts the band 30 Seconds to Mars. All we’re saying is if we were vampires we’d also name our band that. Jared is successful. But with declaring their band a cult recently as a joke, and coming back from a meditation retreat to learn there’s a pandemic, it’s time Jared Leto got a reality check and came...
The Pussycat Dolls

Drake
October 06, 2021 15:20 - 1 hour - 87.6 MBThis week we looked at Toronto and October's very own Drake. “Drake?!” (Soulja Boy voice) Yes, Drake. Does Certified Lover Boy live up to all of Drake's previous records or has he gone a little soft? Or was Drake always soft? Actually, who really is Drake? Because he might need to find himself. Or reveal who he really is. But don't worry, we got the two perfect people to help, because honey, we need to speak to the manager.

James Corden
September 21, 2021 03:52 - 41 minutes - 57.4 MBThis week we looked at James Corden. Honestly, rough week. Just isn’t there for us, but we’re still here to help. Known as the king of pretending to be a queen, the pretending to be gay act is getting old. And while Carpool Karaoke can be fun to watch, there’s just something off lately, and it might just be James. With a few other controversies under his belt, things haven’t been going James' way.

Enrique Iglesias
September 14, 2021 10:48 - 50 minutes - 70.6 MBThis week we looked at Enrique Iglesias. The original Spanish heartthrob (technically his dad is) he’s had quite the career with 10 albums under his belt. But with no albums in the last 7 years (he had twins), no mole for the last 18 years, and a style that hasn’t changed for the last 20 years, we think it’s time some things changed. No, we’re not going to draw back on a mole (we may just suggest it), but we are going to need to speak to the person who keeps buying him these deep V shirts. ...
Matt Damon
September 03, 2021 21:14 - 51 minutes - 71.4 MBThis week we looked at Matt Damon. First, the Bourne series rules. Love it. He kills someone with a book. Wild. BUT, let’s talk about The Great Wall. Or Downsizing. Or We Bought A Zoo. Who ok’d these films? Also with Damon only recently retiring a homophobic slur...let us repeat...recently, and Matt not understanding how diversity works in film, it’s high time someone took a look at the actor's career. So, we took a peek, and we have some feedback. And honestly, Matt, Honey, we need to speak...
Lindsay Lohan
August 24, 2021 03:30 - 54 minutes - 74.6 MBThis week we look at Lindsay Lohan. Listen, we get it Mean Girls is perfect. We will admit that. And Greg might love The Parent Trap so much he makes people watch it at sleepovers. But with parents that don’t manage her, just manage to get in the way, it’s been a rough ride. Don’t even get us started on 2007. All in all, owning a nightclub in Greece isn’t enough. So, honey, we need to speak to the manager of Lohan Nightclub, which we assume is Lindsay...
Usher

Maybe we just want to go to “Flavour Camp”. What’s “Flavour Camp”? You'll have to listen to find out. So, while we wait to get accepted to Flavour Camp, Usher, we’re going to need to ...

MIKA
February 23, 2021 09:00 - 58 minutes - 81.5 MBThis week we looked at the high note singing artist, MIKA. The only problem is his career hit a high note at least a decade ago (in North America).

SuperM ft. Camille Blais
February 16, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 97 MBThis week we looked at the K Pop Supergroup SuperM with special guest Camille Blais. And thank god she came, we were not ready for the tea. There’s a lot going on in a K Pop group. Especially a supergroup! But with that being said, with a disappointing North American debut, and the idea of a supergroup quickly fading away.

Nickelback
January 26, 2021 14:15 - 55 minutes - 77 MBThis week we looked at Nicklebacks career and discovered why we know the lyrics to every song...despite never really listening to them.

The good news, however, Brian and Greg are here to speak to their managers and get them back to "rocking out".
Armie Hammer
January 19, 2021 05:46 - 47 minutes - 66.7 MBThis we look at Arnie Hammer. We did not see the news about Arnie Hammer coming. Mostly because he's so boring. But with recent developments and unacceptable actions, someones going to need to manage this guy because he sure ain't doing it.
