Alternative Edmonton
Garner debuted some new shoes today, but there's no one in the office to notice... so we're starting the Garner Andrews Show New Outfit Appreciation Society. We'll give you the compliments you DESERVE. And we talk about how hard it is to buy and sell things online these days. Hi, is this still available?
So much outrage for the day after the Oilers make the Stanley Cup Finals... We try to figure out what is going on in those Instacart Commercials, Taylor's Top 5 Oilers of All Time makes people real mad... and we discuss "upper deckers"...
We play another round of "Are You Jersey Worthy" to find real Oilers fans, Taylor got a wellness check from his neighbour because he hasn't mowed his lawn yet, and we stumble into the wild world of hockey smut.
Taylor is going up to random people wearing Oilers jerseys and asking them to name 5 players to see if they are "jersey worthy"... Garner is asking important questions like "what time of day gets the most toilet flushes"... and we find out if the Oilers are now Calgary's team
What skills will you bring to the table if the world ends? Garner is the gatekeeper of the apocalypse and based on your abilities, he'll give you an invite to the end of the world. Plus we see how big of an Oiler fan random people wearing jerseys are.
Who's better? Sherwood Park or St. Albert? Spruce Grove or Stony Plain? Beaumont or Leduc? It's a battle of the Bedroom Communities, and there can only be one winner.
Street sweeping season stresses Garner out, he's gotta figure out what to do with all the junk in his car, and banks need to change man
The Parade of Pettiness continues. What's the most petty thing that has ever happened to you? We hear stories of hidden glasses, "lost" wallets, and extreme pettiness
We want to hear about the time you were absolutely petty. We continue dishing out Short Term Service Awards, and have a quick TV chat. What are you watching?
What is the shortest amount of time you've ever worked a job? Everyone celebrates "long term service awards" we want to celebrate the short term. Plus we talk about your road trip enemies and besties.
What "Dad Moves" do you pull? Don't have to be a dad to do it... controlling the thermostat, having a coffee while starting at your lawn, maybe you have a shoe horn? Actually we talked a LOT about shoe horns.
When did the fancy version of something ruin the normal version of something for you? Get first class seats on a plane, and now you can't stand sitting in regular seats? And Taylor goes out to try to start Lets Go Oilers chants in public places again... and it ends with a confrontation with a mall security guard.
Taylor bought a minivan and he's trying to make minivans cool again. Garner thinks he needs to start a Minivan Life Club with matching jackets... will you join?
Leon Draisaitl had a rough day at work on Saturday. Scoring on his own goal with 0.4 seconds left in a playoff game. But he's not alone... you've had horrible days at work too. We're sharing horrible day at work stories. And Garner has a question about one of the weird playoff commercials we keep seeing over and over again.
What's something you did growing up, that you didn't realize was weird until you grew up? Turns out we all had weird childhoods
Do you think we can get "Lets Go Oilers" chants started with strangers in a public place? The Garner Andrews Show put Taylor and Chantal on assignment to see if the playoff hype in Edmonton is strong enough for chants to start in public, He went to different places, yelled "Lets Go Oilers" to see if anyone would come back with the clap-clap clap-clap-clap. And Garner is un-cancelling one of his favourite words...
What's the CRAZIEST rumour you've ever heard about yourself? There's a rumour going around that Gene Principe was forced to get a haircut... we chat to him and get to the bottom of it... and see if it's true that Taylor is getting a minivan... JUICY
Oilers start round 2 of the playoffs today... we try to get the playoff fever going by asking co-workers to drum the end of the "Lets Go Oilers" chant on a bucket... Garner is trying to decide if he's a Bucket Hat Guy... and we talk about the pedicure that cost someone their LEG!
We talk about that time you had to share a hotel room with a stranger... and sometimes share a bed. Plus we see how many alarms you have set on your phone to wake up in the morning. No matter the number, Garner will think it's too many.
We had a flight attendant on the show yesterday that said "basic manners" would make her job way easier. Take your headphones out, make eye contact, say thank you, and you're a star passenger. Bring treats? What would make YOUR job easier, if people started doing it?
What can you do to be your flight attendant's favourite passenger, and score free stuff? Garner finds answers. And we talk to "Zusports10", the guy who is pumping out Oilers playoff parody songs that are absolute bangers.
We continue talking about your commitment to pettiness... the things you have banned from your life. Plus we tackle the big debate... could 100 men win a fight against 1 gorilla?
The Oilers playoff run is in full force... but if you're not into hockey, what are you doing during the games? Everyone else is busy, so do you get movie theatres, costcos, and errands to yourself? And we talk to someone who banned hockey from their life over a decade ago and ask what have you banished from your life?
Jerry the Nudist returns to chat nude playoff parties, the Garner Andrews Show Parade of Oilers Superfans continues with Mama Stanley, and Garner proves that he can turn ANY song into a jock jam.
The Garner Andrews Show Parade of Superfans continues with The Ekholms, we have an awkward chat about jock jams, and try to figure out if anyone actually works when they're working from home on Fridays.
Garner talks about THE move to make if you're becoming a bald guy, and we continue the Parade of Superfans with Banjo Guy!
Garner wants to round up all the youths and get them to hang out at the mall again. Where do kids go these days? We reminisce about being Mall Rats... and start the Garner Andrews Show Parade of Oilers Superfans... talking to "McMullet". Who is he, and how does he get on TV all the time?
Looking to crown the Thrifty King and Queen of the Garner Andrews Show. What are you doing these days to save some money? Listen for the unhinged ways you're getting thrifty.
The Dull Listeners Club celebrates you, and the mundane things that bring you joy. Spend the weekend cleaning the grout lines in your bathroom? Untangling a box of shoelaces? Leveling tables at restaurants? You'll fit right in.
Celebrating the mundane things that bring you immense pleasure... it's the Dull Listeners Club. Garner leads the way with his bread clip collection. Plus hear Taylor's Top 5 Chocolate Holidays in celebration of Easter and all those egg shaped treats.
What's the worst place you've ever lived? We all have to start somewhere, but looking back things look a bit creepier than you remembered. Especially if you knew a Murray. And we talk about all the people who are just sitting in their cars in random parking lots. What are you doing in there!?
If we're being honest, we all have a giant mess in the centre console of our car, right? What's the weirdest thing you've got in there? And Garner goes off about plain yogurt and people telling him he can't pronounce a certain word correctly.
Lets sit in a circle, say your name and something interesting about yourself. Sharing fun facts about YOU on the Garner Andrews Show
Today on the show, we talk about Garner's new algorithm rabbit hole... people who've been to prison. What's in your algorithm? And if you could please sit in a circle, tell us your name and an interesting fact about yourself... we'll share fun facts
