This week on Uncolonized, Gavin Stephens and Daniel Grant dive into the media's favorite zombie narrative: the “silent majority.” Every election cycle, pundits and pollsters act like it's a shocking new revelation—but this trope is as old as Nixon. We unpack the latest reincarnation of it, featuring the supposed shift of white male Gen Z voters to the right, particularly towards Trump. Are they really shifting—or just revealing who they've always been?Plus, in our Patreon-exclusive episode, we get into a viral story about a woman who dated a string of far-right men. What she discovered about their views, emotional development, and how they perform masculinity says a lot about the culture we're in.

Uncolonized - Episode 19: You Can't Take It With YouThis week on Uncolonized, Gavin Stephens talks about losing all my stuff in a fire—and not in a metaphorical, "finding yourself" way. Like, literally. Gone. Every DVD, vinyl, collectible—poof. So now I'm living in the future: a full-on subscription-based model for everything I used to own. Yay capitalism.I get into what it means to live in a consumer-based society where we don't own anything anymore—except debt, anxiety, and maybe a Spotify playlist. I also explore the deeper truth that none of this stuff really goes with us when it's all said and done. Death: the ultimate unsubscribe.It's capitalism, it's comedy, it's mildly traumatic—but hey, at least it's ad-free... sort of.

This week, it's just me, Gavin Stephens, diving into a bizarre but growing phenomenon—Canadians who actually want the U.S. to annex Canada. I break down the authoritarian mindset behind this and why some Canadians are in complete denial about Trump's influence (inspired by this article).This is just Part 1—get the full conversation by joining our Patreon.

We get into all of it, plus our expectations for Anthony Mackie's take on the shield.Directed by Julius Onah, Captain America: Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, Carl Lumbly, Shira Haas, and Danny Ramirez.Patreon Exclusive: Over on our Patreon, Gavin shares a wild story about being confronted at one of his shows—by a group that seems pretty cozy with the convoy movement.

This week on Uncolonized, it's a solo episode with me, Gavin Stephens. In Part 1, I dive into WWE's big move to Netflix, focusing on the reception of Hulk Hogan. I explore how Jean Baudrillard's theory of hyperreality applies to Hogan and why he embodies America's myth-making machine. I also share my evolving perspective on politics—shifting from the traditional left vs. right divide to a more direct Workers vs. Owners framework.In Part 2 (available exclusively on Patreon), I continue the discussion, tackling the TikTok ban and why America has always been a plutocracy.Tune in for deep analysis, cultural critique, and unfiltered takes.

Ann Rohmer opens the show with an election primer. With the Provincial Election coming up on June 2nd, how are the leaders doing so far? How are they connecting with voters and what are the hot button issues? Tina Cortese is with the President of the Canadian Medical Association - Dr. Katharine Smart. The discussion includes the shortage of family doctors and what needs to happen to resurrect a decimated health system. Ann Rohmer looks at how Dymon Self Storage has created reliable and affordable storage solutions where guests feel confident their belongings are safe and secure - like a high quality hotel for your “stuff.” Kevin Frankish speaks with Serena Ryder who is nominated for Adult Contemporary Album of the Year for her album "The Art of Falling Apart."

Today on the show we are joined with Gavin Stephens who is a true stand up comedy vet. Gavin's newest comedy special titled "All Inclusive Coma" is currently nominated for a Juno Award and has an overall theme of self awareness that also becomes a big topic of conversation throughout this episode. Around all that he also tells us some of the keys to longevity in the standup comedy universe, what continues to fuel his passion, what is awesome about the current generation of comedy, why performing at an open mic is more nerve racking than a theatre with hundreds of people, and much more!
