Straight from the Bend

We are calling this our season finale because we are putting the podcast on pause for a while, we hope to be back once we feel the energy to do it again.  In today's episode, Al and I discuss a variety of topics, some current events and things that lead to us putting the podcast on hold for while.  Thank you for listening!

We had the pleasure of having an insightful conversation with Jason Cyrus about his road to hypnosis, hypnotherapy and putting positivity into the world.  In the divisive times that we find ourselves today, this was such a refreshing conversation. Hope you enjoy.

As promised we have a few new changes to our little podcast and in our renewed state we wanted to talk about being Maritimers, what that means to us, how others see us and what we feel the maritimes have to offer.  Hope you enjoy!

Yes we are finally back with another episode after a long absence and this episode Al and I get caught up on the top subjects of the past 10 months.  Covid-19 and the US presidential elections.  Stay tuned at the end of the episode for an exciting change we are bringing to the podcast for 2021!

In today's conversation, we have a shallow discussion about everyone's guilty pleasure ... reality TV.  Is it a true depiction of reality? Is it a problem for society?  Does it create a false sense of reality for most?  These are all questions that we talk about, plus we talk about a few reality shows in particular.  Al is quite a fan!  Hope you enjoy.

Al and I have a casual discussion about democracy, giving our thoughts and opinions.  Nothing more nothing less.

There are so many titles I could give Mark because he's done so much and continues to press on and live life to the fullest and that is the main theme of his message.  We had a very fruitful discussion with Mark about his challenges as a youth, having gone through a double lung and heart transplant, then becoming the first man in history (as far as we know) to run a marathon with another person's heart and lungs.  But I think more importantly we focused on the message Mark is trying to put forth in the world today and that is ... well you have to listen to find out.  Hope you enjoy!

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, Al and I have a discussion about Love.  If you think two middle aged men talking about love sounds like awkward discussion to have ... well you'd be right.  Regardless we had fun and we hope you will enjoy.

In this episode, Al & I have a conversation about living in the moment.  In today's world, surrounded by technology and information, with the constant battle for our attention, we don't often take the time to stop and just admire what is right in front of us.  Our discussion today revolves around that very topic.  Hope you enjoy and please take the time to enjoy the present.

This is a new segment we are trying out, after our last conversation with Armand Doucet, we were inspired and felt like we had some more to say, so in this segment we have a conversation between us about our thoughts on education.  Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we talk in depth about education locally and abroad.  Armand helps us understand the obstacles facing the education system and how we can possibly overcome them.  We also learn a bit more about Armand's adventure into the teaching and coaching world.  All in all, we had a great conversation with Armand and we hope you will enjoy.

I enjoy these episodes for a whole different reason then the other episode, because they are unpredictable.  As you will see with this one, we never really know where things are going to go.  Hope you enjoy! 

In this episode, Al & I give our predictions on things to come in the next decade.  We cover a variety of topics and give out worthless opinions on where we think humanity is heading in the next 10 years.  Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we reflect on our past 4 months of podcasting, our guests and what could be our plans for 2020. Hope you enjoy & happy holidays.

In today's conversation, we have a discussion with Jenna Morton.  She is the creator of the Pickle Planet website, which is very much oriented towards parenting and families.  We talk about how she got started, various topics of parenting and other things revolving around podcasting.  It was great talking with a fellow podcaster with so much insight in this strange new world.  Hope you enjoy!

In today's conversation, we are talking with Josée Cormier, founder of Your Way Weight Loss.  We had a very interesting conversation, not only about weight loss but more so about living your best life and being responsible for the lifestyle choices that we make.  So sit back, relax and enjoy our conversation.

Today's conversation is another Talking Shit, but this time, we have special guest Mark Crandall.  As you will soon see, Mark loves to talk and practically took over the show.  We had a blast talking about all kinds of stuff and we hope you find some entertainment out of it.  Hope you enjoy.

In this conversation, we are talking with Leon DesRoches, physiotherapist, entrepreneur & inventor.  Our conversation focuses on his area of expertise which is the prevention and treatment of injuries, more specifically injuries revolving around the sedentary workplace.  Leon has developed an interactive workstation that helps prevent many of the common injuries one might have when working at a desk for hour on end and we talk about how he foresees this playing out in the future.  Hope you enjoy!

In today's episode, we had the honour of having a conversation with former wrestler and now actor Robert Maillet.  We talked a bit about his childhood, his wrestling career as well as his now acting career.  It was a fascinating conversation full of stories and insights on the behind the scenes of the wrestling and movie industry.  Hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

In this episode, we have a conversation with meteorologist Réal Daigle.  We talk about a variety of topic surrounding climate change, coastal sea levels and what lies ahead.  This very informative conversation, provided us a better understanding of what is climate change and how this can effect us in the future.  Hope you enjoy.
