Here I am, one year after contemplating starting a podcast. Thank you to everyone who has been listening. Danielle and I listened to this episode before I posted it and we laughed at ourselves way too much lol. We didn't have that much to drink but I think it's been a while since our last episode that we forgot how to do it. Stay tuned!

This episode was recorded after we all had our bellies full from Thanksgiving dinner. We don't have turkey in our household. Instead, I make a prime rib roast. This will also most likely be our last podcast recording here. We will be moving and hopefully have a larger, more comfortable recording space. We attempted to talk about our life here for the past 3 years. It proved to be a lot harder with our bellies full. Thank you to everyone who has been listening! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 

This is the second part of a 2 part segment. It was a recorded on location at an event I held at Confederation Park. I let my brother and his friends who are all former SJAM students take over and reminice on their time at the now closed high school.

I held an event down at Confederation Park. I invited former staff and students of Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary School to come and hang out. I invited some of them to be on the podcast and talk about their memories of attending the school. This episode has Karen who has been on the podcast before. I also talked to another friend Abdulla.

With July 1st aproaching, otherwise known as Canada Day, I wanted to talk to someone who is Indigenous and get their thoughts about someone like me celebrating Canada Day. And with the bodies of so many indigenous children being found at residential schools, I can understand why their people are upset. July 1st 2021 will definitely not be a day of celebration this year. Yes, I am proud to be Candian. But this July 1st, I stand with the indigenous people. I could listen Jordan's credentials but all I needed to know is how passionate she is about her people and this land that was taken from them. There are ways to seek help.

I try something a little different with this episode. With the Lockdown that is in place, it's hard to get some guests on to talk in person. But that won't stop me! In this episode, I connected with the very well known Happy Hourz MC, MC Rajax. I also got a chance to talk to an old school friend, Chris Melwosky! Other than scheduling call times, it was sort of a random. I just tried finding people who weren't busy and gave them call. Hope to do this again with some other people. It was really fun. So, thanks guys!

Matt is someone who I recently met and we seem to like the same things, so I wanted to have him on the podcast. I am so happy that I did because he gave me a lot of insight and information about American and Canadian politics, along with some current issues going on around the world. I wasn't able to use all of our conversation, only because we pretty much talked all day! I'm sure I will have him on again because I'm sure we still have a lot to talk about. He also wanted to give a shout out to the Dissidents Facebook Group (Hamilton Chapter). https://www.facebook.com/groups/186781248060815/

I had to break up this interview with Jed into two parts. This one is a little longer. Check out the first episode if you haven't already. This episode I added his stories about his life before Covid and what happened after he came out of his seclusion. He's also been featured in a few local music vidoes and explains what that expierence was like. Thank you again, Jed, for accepting my friendship and coming and telling me your stories the very next day. It was an experience we will be talking about forever. God bless you and I wish you all the best in the future! And on March 13, happy birthday! 66 years young!

I had the opportunity to sit and talk with this Hamilton Icon! He's been seen all around the city and people have heard about him, near and far. He had so much to say that I couldn't fit it all in one episode. This was the first time actually meeting Jed and he showed up with an open heart. I felt like he could have stayed with me all day talking. We had such a great time. Make sure to look for part 2 of this episode with Jed. 

This is a short but special episode. My birthday is coming up and I received an awesome gift! I used it during the recording of this episode and it made editing a breeze. I have two, very special, guests on this episode that will melt you heart. They most certainly melt mine. Thank you to everyone who have been listening so far and I appreciate any new listeners as well! Help me spread the word about this podcast and let's tell everyone that Hamilton is great!

I had a very special friend come talk to me about what the dating life during COVID-19 is like. Yes, my long time high school friend joined Danielle and I and gave us some insight on parts of her life during this pandemic. I really need to try some of these trails that we have here in the Hammer. And yes, her real name is Karen! LOL Follow her on Instagram! We had such a great time catching up and I hope to have her back on the podcast again. Shout out to Karen! Thanks for joining us on my podcast and telling us about what your life has been like during all this. I'm glad we finally got a chance to sit and talk about whatever. Hopefully I did you justice and hopefully you enjoyed listening to yourself talk lol Can't wait to have you over again, podcast or not! https://www.instagram.com/k.true/

Here, Danielle and I sample some new brews from Collective Arts Hamilton. These hard teas is a delicious beverage perfect for the summer. It's light and refreshing! Maybe too refreshing. We really enjoyed the taste but I could not believe it's 5%. We will definitely be trying out the other flavours as well!

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, Danielle and I talk about what we want to do. She has been wanting a heart shaped pizza for the longest time. I had an idea of making steak for dinner. With the Corona Virus still going on and things are locked down, this year will be very different for a lot of couples. As far as the single people goes, nothing new there. A day where all the couple post engagement photos and all the lovey-dovey things. We treat it like any other day but, at the same time, I don't mind having a special dinner. What are your plans for Valentine's Day? Is it just a regular day for you as well??

Welcome to my very first episode! I found a pizza place I havent tried on Instagram. The pictures looked delicious so I wanted to give it a try!
