The mans are coming in hot on…well…hot people, and how annoying their romance advice is.

ASMR is getting a bit weird and the flood of soft core porn vids on social media is getting lazy and tired.

Special shout out to the Whalley neighbourhood of Surrey for showing Arsy what time it is. Big congratulations to #ProducerTaus and his lovely wife

Producer Taus' wedding is only a week away, so the mans should cut him some slack for not being here for recording...but obviously, they don't! Arsy and Lala chop it about how Labour Day is the real beginning of the year, the days when high schools had OAC/gr.13, how producer Taus has become the ultimate finesser under their tutelage, and why the Toronto Mans would be the ultimate Indian Matchmakers and would be way better than Seema Aunty. Later they break down why the Ex really isn't that good, why corn is meh, a mass food poisoning in Markham, and a wild parking lot sword fight in Brampton that is too wild to make up!
