I Practice Talking Good

Ep 86 - Put'er in the wall bud

This weeks episode  is sponsored by Shehara.  Go to youtube to watch their new music video B-RUN-CH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOM25RrjzMM Exciting, yet average episode.  Snippets from a live show and a bunch of other random stuff that I can't remember.  Because all we are trying to figure out is what the metaphor is for life when you put your race car into a wall and succeed in winning.   Also probably should have wrapped up Sober October better.  Where did the structure go.  Next ti...

Ep 85 - Not Locally Real

Last days in Iqaluit.  Back in Vancouver.   But more importantly this week we discover that nothing is real.  Or at least locally real.  We try to get to the bottom of this.  As well we deliver whale fat to our favourite bartender.   Special guest:  Olivia Lanes of IBM Quantum 

Ep 84 - It Quickly Becomes Normal

This weeks average episode is nothing special.   We are really good at taking what would be an exciting adventure and making it mundane.  From the outside it seems fascinating.   But in reality we stick to what we know.   Enjoy.   Special guest:  Andrew D. Huberman

This is not click bait.  I am indeed back in Iqaluit again.  It is fun and interesting.  So join us on the ride as we drive around and eat turkey.  Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!!!!

Ep 76 - B-Sides and Rarities

Over the years of doing this some recordings don't make it on an episode.   Either because the episode was already too long, or the recording was just dumb.  So here are a bunch of dumb recordings that really are not interesting.  Special guest:  Theo Von

Ep 75 - REPLY ALL.....(or the existential crisis of cats)

This is an episode.  An episode that might be too much insider baseball.  Too much about one topic that will not relate to anyone but the people involved.  Yet, the title will attract a few dozen extra listeners.  So I eat a half dozen donuts and drink champaign while I make sense of it all.
