Welcome To The Real Oshow,0:00 Intro1:00 Drake's Triple Album Release 2:40 Favorite Songs Off All 3 Albums7:30 Album Cover Breakdowns 11:20 Future on Iceman13:00 Drake is Canada's Batman13:30 Closing Thoughts Drake doesn't drop music, he drops moments, and this week he dropped three of them. On this episode of The Real Oshow, Zachary and Joshua break down Iceman, Habitti, and Maid of Honor, covering their favorite records, the vibe of each project, and why Drake is currently locked in a chokehold on Apple Music and Spotify's top charts. If he keeps this pace, he's on track to break Michael Jordan's all-time record for most number one songs, and that's not a hot take, that's just math. They also get into how Drake literally iced out the CN Tower for $15 million, making him the Batman of Canada, and how Future just made the move Kevin Durant should've made in the NBA. This one's got music, culture, power moves, and the kind of analysis you're not getting anywhere else.Check out our YouTube page - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoqz3s_B_VYHuQtuVIDxpiQTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@therealoshow?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcTweet @zacharyowings2 with your thoughts about the podcast or suggestions for future shows.Music by Leno Tk - Greatness (Streaming on all platforms)

Canada is known for its vibrant culture and diversity, but you wouldn't know that from our architecture. It's no surprise that the bottom line plays a role into materials and design decisions of commercial, residential and cultural buildings, but is there a way Canada can balance creativity, budget and authenticity to have the best looking country? Host Maria Kestane speaks to Alex Josephson, founder of Toronto-based architecture firm, Partisans, to dig into the investment Canada needs to make into its up-and-coming creatives, and just how important building aesthetics are to our country's ethos.

On the Saturday April 25, 2026 we'll meet we'll meet Elyse Aeryn, a roots-rock singer-songwriter from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. She spent nearly a decade in the pulp and paper industry—then, in her late 20s, walked away to chase the music that's always burned inside her. Her roots-rock sound fuses Stevie Nicks-inspired soul, with some Alanis, and memorable melodies. Her 2023 debut Joy State of Mind put her on the map with nominations and awards, and now, after overcoming a devastating motorcycle crash in 2025, she's back. Her sophomore album Everybody Loves You… is10 tracks of bold, emotionally resonant rock that features radio-toppers like ‘Unstoppable.' Then, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol of “Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie.” The movie, which blends footage from the 2007–2009 web series of the same name, begins with unemployed musicians Matt and Jay (Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol) hatching a plan to land a gig at the legendary Rivoli on Queen Street West in Toronto. Without contacting the club, writing any songs or practising, they decide to parachute off the CN Tower into the Skydome during a baseball game to announce the show in front of a stunned crowd. What could go wrong? Well, lots. No spoilers here, but when their skydiving stunt doesn't get them the Rivoli gig, they (along with their camera guy Jared Raab) find themselves accidentally traveling back to the year 2008, and struggling to find a way back to the future.
What if a ghost is not only something we encounter in the dark, but something we may, in some mysterious way, participate in? In this special episode of Haunted Talks, Jim presents a manifesto for reimagining the paranormal. Moving beyond the familiar debate between "spirits of the dead" and "tricks of the mind," he explores a third possibility: that hauntings may emerge from a stranger relationship between memory, consciousness, place, intention, and attention. Drawing on the Stone Tape theory, quantum physics as a provocative analogy, years of Alone in the Dark investigations, and a collective experiment with more than one hundred Haunted Talks listeners during the 2024 solar eclipse, Jim asks whether the human mind may be more than a neutral observer of the unknown. He also recounts an unforgettable session at the top of the CN Tower, where a voice through a spirit box refused the label of "ghost" and, when asked where it normally resided, answered with one word: consciousness. This is not an argument for blind belief. It is an invitation to ask better questions, to move beyond gadgets and certainty, and to consider whether the mystery is stranger, wider, and closer than we think. To see/hear the full interview with Jim, visit SIPA Canada's Youtube channel or check out their Paranormal Chronicles podcast.

On the Saturday February 21, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet artist Michael Townsend. Have you heard about the Netflix movie “Secret Mall Apartment”? It’s the wildly popular story, set in the early two thousands, about a group of eight young artists and friends from Rhode Island who secretly built and lived in a hidden 750-square-foot apartment inside the busy Providence Place Mall in Providence, Rhode Island. They discovered an unused "nowhere space" in the mall's structure, snuck in furniture, tapped into electricity, constructed walls (including smuggling in over 2 tons of cinderblock to build a fortified, lockable entrance), and even furnished it with everyday items like a TV, gaming system, books, and couches—all while filming much of the process themselves. They lived there undetected for four years (until 2007), when they were eventually caught and charged with trespassing.

This episode is about Toronto, Canada. See Book A for addressing this challenge. Find it on the website at 5StepsToSoloTravel.com or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Toronto is another example of Step 3 travel, advanced solo travel. Other step 3 destinations in my Part B book include Banff, Whistler, and Vancouver. Destination Deep‑Dive Today's special destination is: Toronto, Canada, part two of two You may arrive at Pearson airport, like I did, which was a lovely airport ranked high among international airports. I had the opportunity to experience the Priority Pass lounge both upon arrival and departure. If you have access, you'll likely enjoy it, even though the lounge was under construction. The city has a diverse mix of people from all around the world, along with a variety of flavors that come with it. Keep your eyes peeled and your nose smelling these scents. Before I arrived, I booked my tour to Niagara Falls. Here are a few facts about Niagara Falls and why you might find it of interest I registered in my hostel, got all of my bedding, food, and bag storage set up, and then took a nap since I had been up since about 5 AM. Afterward, I went down to the CN Tower, where there was almost no line late in the afternoon. Smart Move and Slip-up pairings So here I was in Toronto, and believe it or not, I lost my phone for the second time. Here's what happened. I went for a swim at the local community pool and changed back into my street clothes. I left the phone in the changing room at the pool. About 30 minutes after getting home, I realized I had left it there. So I went back and got it, but there was a little bit of panic in my life, so this was the end of my trip of 90 days, and I wasn't really as concerned as I would've been at the beginning of the journey, but it was concerning that I let my defenses down. I slipped up twice within a few days. Don't do what I did; keep your focus on the things that are most important to you. For me, that was my phone and my passport. Where are you going? Let me know if I helped you travel.

Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, coming to you from a recent trip, on a 90-day solo journey around the world. Listener Story Spotlight Alina, whom I met in Toronto and who hosted me for my final four nights, is trying to travel to Seattle this week, but she's been affected by the Air Canada airline strike. She's a great traveler who has visited Japan, Spain, and many European countries. She was an excellent Servas host. Look up Servas if you want to encourage world peace with cultural exchange. Quick-fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is: What was my favorite place during my 90-day journey? It's what I get asked nearly every day. I don't want to leave anyone out, so I usually say, 'Right here is my favorite place.' Right now, I'm home, so that's my favorite place. It's usually the NEXT trip that I'll be taking. My next trip is for work, to Las Vegas, so that's not a favorite. I can stay here for up to two nights, and then I need to get out. However, after that, it's off to Chicago soon. That will be a favorite this fall. 60-second Travelbest confidence challenge Walk outside. Close your eyes and stop where you are. Listen to the sounds you hear. Did you catch every sound? Make a list in your mind. Continue walking and focus on what you hear. The sounds of nature or the city are there, but maybe you haven't been listening. Go ahead and do this once a week. That's your challenge. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 1 of my 5 Steps series book A dives deeper—link in description.” See Book A for addressing all of these items. https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ Destination Deep‑Dive Today's special destination is: A summary of my 90-day trip. Part One I began my trip in South America on May 13, 2025. I charted a course to go around the world from north to south. I flew to Chicago to begin my trip and then went to Bogota, Colombia, Cartagena, and finally Medellin. I spent a total of four weeks in South America, traveling through four countries, each for one week. Some of the highlights of South America would include fantastic artwork in downtown Medellin and riding on their very sophisticated tram system. In Cartagena, I had the opportunity to explore the old town and the city walls, as well as spend a day at Isla Blanca, a resort. My second week was spent in Ecuador, where I spent several days on the island of Isabela in the Galapagos. I saw many natural wonders here on this small island. I explored the tunnels and had the opportunity to swim with sea turtles during this trip. I also saw many lizards and other unusual creatures. After arriving in Peru, I landed in Lima and then traveled to Cusco by plane, where I spent a few days acclimating to the high altitude. I spent one 19-hour day in Machu Picchu, leaving at 3 AM and arriving at about 11 PM. That was quite an adventure, and it was a beautiful day at that. I felt that I got to know the city of Lima after visiting it for the second time at the end of May, when I spent a week in Brazil. I first arrived in Rio de Janeiro and visited the Christ the Redeemer statue. I then spent several days exploring the city before heading to the sister city across the bay in Nero, where I enjoyed the locals and the beaches. I then flew to São Paulo. I explored this vast metropolis, one of the largest cities I've ever seen. From there I flew to South Africa via Angola, and when I arrived in Cape Town, I rented a car and drove on the left side of the road for the first time. I explored the Garden Route for several days before returning to Cape Town, situated at the southernmost tip of Africa. After Cape Town, I flew to Johannesburg on another airline. I was fortunate to visit the Apartheid Museum and the homes of two Nobel Peace Prize winners, all in the same neighborhood. This is my second trip to Africa, so I was glad to see a different part of it this time. I'll finish up my summary in the next episode, so stay tuned. Smart Move and Slip-up pairings One of my slip-ups on this trip was losing my phone. I lost it while I was entering the CN Tower in Toronto, one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. I was going through the X-ray machine, and they asked me to take off my vest. They also asked me to remove items from the pockets in the vest. They removed my phone from my pocket and dropped it in the basket when I was collecting my vest. I forgot to put the phone back in my pocket and proceeded to enter the exhibit for about five minutes. When I went to take a photo of an item on the tour, I couldn't find my phone I knew where it was so I turned around retrace my steps, made sure that they were gonna give me a reentry went into their highly secure staffing room and retrieved my phone immediately so don't slip up like I did and leave your phone behind when you're going through security, even if you seem to be a little bit nervous when you're going through there take a minute and make sure you have all your things. The smart move is to take a breath whenever you are going through a security situation. 60-second confidence challenge Here's my challenge for you. Can you pack all of your toiletries and one small cube that will help build your confidence in many ways? Don't forget to zip up any items that could leak, especially if you have bug or mosquito protection, such as DEET, which should be double-bagged. Resources Roundup One of the good places to find resources is with your government agencies, such as the US consulate. Don't hesitate to check those out before you take a big trip. Take away mantra and goodbye. My takeaway for today is that traveling in one direction means that you don't have to double back and return to the same destination. Making a loop is a more efficient way to travel, draw a circle, and see where you can go on that journey, instead of just coming back.

Wir sprechen über die markante Skyline, über geschäftige Straßen und ruhige Rückzugsorte, wie die Toronto Islands, direkt vor der Stadt. Mit dabei: ein Abstecher zum CN Tower, dem Wahrzeichen der Stadt, ein Blick in The PATH – das unterirdische Fußgänger-Netzwerk, das größer ist als viele denken – und persönliche Eindrücke davon, wie vielseitig Toronto sein kann. Ob urbaner Trubel oder entspannte Inselmomente: Toronto überrascht mit Kontrasten und Charakter. Eine Folge für alle, die Kanadas Großstadtenergie besser kennenlernen wollen – und für alle, die noch überlegen, ob sich ein Besuch lohnt. (Spoiler: tut es.)

After her first appearance on the show five years ago, Daryl Lang is back! Daryl is a vision-impaired runner who races with a guide and completes her training miles with her guide dog. Daryl and I love furry friends, so this episode ended up almost an ode to her two guide dogs, Jenny and Yasha. Daryl takes us through Jenny's retirement, what it was like to change their relationship from working to companionship, and learning the ins and outs of her new coworker, Yasha (whom she trained with at Guiding Eyes for the Blind in New York). Daryl also became published as a contributing author to the book Run for Your Life: Lessons Learned from Going the Distance, and she shares a bit about that process as well. Yasha and Daryl may still be fine-tuning running together, but in the meantime, Daryl has entered a new space in her running era: nothing to prove to anyone (maybe the best journey yet). She may not be worried about how much she races or what her splits are anymore, but she still has some big goals on the horizon. I have my fingers crossed that I might get to greet her at the finish line sometime soon.

The CN Tower is an iconic Canadian landmark. Standing at 553 meters or 1,815 feet, it is one of the tallest free-standing structures in the world. Contemplating the Tower, an intriguing idea crossed our minds. Although it is not known as a haunted place, it possesses unique characteristics that could make it a one-of-a-kind site for an experimental paranormal investigation. Our hypothesis was that if the Tower serves as one of the world's largest antennas for earthly signals, such as radio waves, could we also use it as an antenna to make a connection to the other side or beyond? What would happen if we ascended to the very top of the Tower in the SkyPod and started asking questions? That is precisely what we did during two nights this past October. In this episode, we will reveal the astonishing results of our investigation. It's not too often that we get to break news on this podcast, but today we'll do just that. We'll share the results from the first-ever paranormal investigations of the CN Tower, and as far as we know, the tallest investigation ever attempted. We are becoming convinced that there is more to hauntings than old creepy buildings or spine-tingling ghost stories.

Rob Metcalfe's guiding principle is that leadership is not just an individual pastime; rather it needs to be embedded at all levels within and across organisations so those closest to the need can meet it in an aligned and autonomous way. This belief stems from his career in the military where alignment between Headquarters, Operations Rooms and the person on the ground is so vital, whether on conventional or alternate activities. The strength of this belief was forged in both peacetime activities and operational theatres that included the Falklands War and various roles in Northern Ireland.Since then, he has dedicated his career to enabling leadership at every level through consulting, facilitation, training and coaching. He encourages people to think and respond through the lens of self, others and the system, proactively and consciously choosing where their focus should be. This is achieved by creating clear goals alongside simple habits and routines that enable consistency between a person, team or organisation's inner and outer games.This experience includes 14 years as CEO of LIW, expanding the organisation from start up to global leadership consultancy, preceded by 14 years as an officer in the Royal Marines Commandos. More recently he spent 3 years as a Partner with Denali Venture Partners and he now operates as an associate and investor to his previous organisations, as well as an independent consultant to a small number of other purposeful organisations across sectors and throughout the world. He is motivated by organisations that have a positive impact and has recently concentrated on working with the UN World Food Program across Africa and the Middle East including working with leadership teams and operational leaders in Yemen, Iraq, Sudan, Syria and Somalia. He also works with the Kids Cancer Project in Australia who are dedicated to saving childrens' lives though investment in cancer research.Rob and his team held the world building abseil record in 1992 for scaling to, and abseiling from, the upper deck of the CN Tower in Toronto, alongside a team from the Canadian School of Rescue Training. He was also “Mentioned in Dispatches” during his service, acknowledging that this was due to the efforts of the leaders and the people he had the good fortune to command.Rob sees how neuroscience is proving what was previously only a belief about good leadership practice. Many of his top tips are based on this truth. His top tip for your reflection is to “do whatever you want but know what you are doing”. He picked this quote up from someone else and has since observed that it is often not the case! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
