POPULARITY
Categories
June 24th, 2006. Historic Fort York, Toronto. Twenty-two songs, and buried at number fourteen is a track The Tragically Hip only ever played nine times.That is the version we spin. Same night they pulled '38 Years Old' out of the vault for the first time since July of 1995. Nine plays for 'No Threat', per Hipbase and setlist.fm, and one of those nine got audited live on this stream. There was an entry claiming November 15th, 1991. Andrew went after it, Steve pulled the tape down to check, and the correction went in while the mics were still hot.'No Threat' opens "Yer Favourites", the November 2005 double disc where fans voted on every track except the two nobody had heard yet. This one, and 'The New Maybe' closing disc two. Adam Kasper made both, the same man who made "In Between Evolution" the year before. Track one is the brand new song. Track two is 'Grace, Too'. Kevin has a word for that sequencing decision, and the word is bold.It landed at 85 on the TTHTop40 Countdown, between 'Daredevil' and 'Sherpa'. Then the poll came back from the Facebook group with a stack of loves, which was nobody's prediction at this table, plus eight percent who came right out and said they dislike it. Steve did not vote. Steve tells us where he would have landed, and it opens something bigger than the song: what do you do with a band you love and songs you don't? He has a list. He is not sorry about the list.Then there is the guitar. Jeff from Vaughan puts it in the chat first, that it is the guitar that doesn't work here, and Kevin has been circling the same thing all week. A chord that goes somewhere your ear refuses to follow. He can tell you which side of the mix it comes from and which of the two of them is playing it.WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE• Yelly Gord. Andrew's name for the thing that starts here and does not stop, straight through 'Yer Not the Ocean' and into a version of 'Blow at High Dough' that is barely a word any more. Where it came from, and which album this song belonged on instead.• Kevin catches the flip. First person the whole way through, and then for one line it isn't, and there is a woman in the room.• The last thing Gord says in the song. Nobody here can explain it. Three theories, no verdict, and one line jD reads out that stops everybody cold: you die to your fans one window at a time.• Andrew went hunting the origin story. Nine or ten full shows from 1996, chasing a rant that is supposed to be the seed of this song. He did not find it. He found something else about peacekeeping that he cannot now unhear.• The Hip headlined the first two concerts ever held at the Air Canada Centre. Steve knows who opened, and who played the third night.• The anniversary weekend. jD in Kingston for Springer Market Square, murals and painted guitars all over a town that does not normally do it up. Steve stretched it over three days in Toronto and got a west end blackout two songs into the last show. Kevin was in Ireland.• The live record, and the two songs on it that are not live. Andrew has a fix.• End of summer picks. Steve's 'The Dire Wolf' and a whole summer in Kingston in 2002. Andrew's '11th Fret', a hangover song and he means that kindly. Kevin's 'Three Pistols', Tom Thomson and Algonquin Park. Steve's first answer was not one of theirs at all, and he owns it on air.Next week the wheel lands on 'Putting Down' from "Music @ Work". Which the band played at Fort York that same June night in 2006, four songs before this one. So there's that.THE PANEL• Kevin from Sarnia. First time at the table. He was buying every one of these records the week it came out and cannot remember buying this one, which tells you something. Plays in a cover band called 402 West, named for the highway between London and Sarnia.• Andrew from Winnipeg. Back again, and the closest thing this show has to a research department. Plays bass in Crooked Ice, whose record is "Dark Stars", and he cut the video too. His radio show and podcast is Soup Full of Radio.• Steve from Toronto. Fourth time on a jD show inside a month, which he points out himself. At Fort York in 2006, in the building in Kingston in 2016. He rides for the Tragically Clipped, a Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation team that began as an act of spite between two friends and has raised over $200,000 since. What happened to one of his riders at a rest stop is worth the wait.GEDFEST TORONTO - SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17The Horseshoe Tavern, with Grace, 2.

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B and the crew jump into one of the most polarizing conversations in sports and politics: transgender women competing in women’s athletics. The discussion begins with a sports rant [00:06 ] before asking who should ultimately determine WNBA eligibility rules—the league, its players, governing bodies, or outside lawmakers [ 01:08 ]. The crew weighs arguments surrounding biology, gender identity, and athletic competition [ 02:36 ], including questions of physicality and competitive fairness [ 05:57 ], before testing the conversation through hypothetical locker-room scenarios [ 07:15 ] and considering how much voting power WNBA players themselves should have over league policy [ 08:22 ]. They unpack what people actually mean when discussing gender transition [ 10:48 ] and question whether the larger controversy has become a political distraction from issues with a more direct impact on everyday Americans [ 14:26 ], before humor enters the debate through a conversation about the financial realities associated with transitioning [ 15:26 ]. The crew switches gears to music [ 20:42 ] after encountering a report claiming releases from major artists including Taylor Swift, Drake, Bad Bunny, and Kendrick Lamar coincided with increases in deadly traffic crashes [ 20:49 ]. Rather than accepting the headline at face value, they question correlation versus causation [ 21:59 ], dig into the statistics, methodology, data sources, and variables that could influence the findings [ 25:28 ], and debate whether audience and attendance numbers complicate the conclusions [ 26:48 ]. Hip-hop discourse continues as they unpack The Game’s grievances involving Kendrick Lamar and Nipsey Hussle’s circle [ 27:12 ], questioning mixed messages, loyalty, comparisons, and when legitimate criticism begins to resemble attention-driven conflict [ 30:02 ]. Politics returns to the forefront as the hosts react to Elon Musk calling for Derek Chauvin’s release [ 32:25 ], debating whether provocative culture-war issues are being used to energize political audiences while larger policy concerns receive less attention. From there, they redirect the conversation toward what they consider the “real issues” affecting everyday life, including healthcare, education, voting rights, employment, government services, and the rising cost of travel [ 35:33]. The crew identifies three policy areas they believe deserve greater public attention [ 42:26 ] before examining the economics of the American healthcare system and the tension between patient care and profit [ 50:27 ]. Naturally, Selective Ignorance finds room for one last detour—the timeless ranch versus blue cheese debate [ 53:16 ]—before wrapping the bonus episode with final thoughts and credits [ 55:29 ].

Hip-Hop… we need to talk.On this solo episode of the Ern and Iso Podcast, Ern has a conversation directly with hip-hop itself.Sparked by 50 Cent's comments about not wanting to be a 60-year-old rapper, Ern questions why hip-hop continues to treat age like an expiration date. If the music is still good, should it matter whether the artist making it is 22, 42 or 62?The conversation expands into what it actually means to be “hot” in today's culture. Are streams, followers, viral clips and algorithms true measurements of impact—or have we started confusing popularity with greatness?Ern also challenges the idea that bars and lyricism should be redefined simply because hip-hop has entered a different generation. Instead of throwing away the blueprint created by previous generations, why shouldn't younger artists build on it and take the art form even further?Most importantly, what should mature hip-hop sound like? Instead of veteran rappers pretending they're still 25, why can't they give listeners music about growth, survival, prosperity, family, success and the perspective that comes from living?Hip-hop grew up. Its audience grew up.Maybe it's finally time we allow the artists to grow up too.
Originally released in February 2016 , this classic episode of The Short Box (Ep. #122) features the world renowned Hip-hop artist and comic book enthusiast, the departed legend Paten Locke (RIP.
In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King and headline king Jason “Jah” Lee for a wide-ranging conversation spanning Atlanta culture, policing, politics, infrastructure, race, hip-hop, gender identity, and the WNBA. After previewing the episode’s biggest stories [ 00:38 ], the crew catches up on their weekends [ 02:43 ] before debating Atlanta’s dining scene, happy-hour culture, restaurant service, and food experiences [ 03:26 ]. Jah’s “Ignorant Thought” turns serious as he reacts to reports about the death in prison of the former officer who shot Sonya Massey, prompting a larger conversation about policing, accountability, and Elon Musk’s suggestion that Derek Chauvin should be released [ 06:20 ]. From there, a discussion about recent food safety scares and beef consumption briangs the crew back to what—and where—they’re willing to eat [ 09:27 ]. In “This Is America,” the hosts spotlight Gary, Indiana, where residents in a largely Black community have faced an extended power outage following severe storms [ 13:02 ]. The crew connects the crisis to larger questions about aging infrastructure, disaster response, environmental inequality, government responsibility, and which communities receive urgency when essential services fail, while encouraging support for residents in need [ 16:28 ]. Politics takes center stage as they react to comments from Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon about taking her children to drag shows [ 24:46 ], debating political strategy and whether certain public positions help or hurt candidates in contentious elections [ 28:39 ]. The conversation expands into who actually attends drag shows and why [ 33:11 ], an explanation and debate around the term cisgender [ 34:43 ], and the importance of context when discussing drag performances, children, LGBTQ+ issues, and adult entertainment [ 37:37 ]. They then zoom back out to Florida politics, progressive movements, and the Democratic Socialists of America [ 40:31 ], before taking a lighter detour into beards, appearances, and “hat fishing” [ 44:30 ]. The conversation returns to crime and race as the crew examines reports of an alleged Penn State fraternity cocaine distribution operation [ 47:48 ], questioning whether similar allegations involving Black defendants would be framed as a gang, conspiracy, or RICO case and exploring racial disparities in the language used around criminal activity [50:30 ]. They also discuss fentanyl risks, drug surveillance, and the dangers surrounding today’s illicit drug supply [ 55:20 ]. From there, the hosts react to Master P’s comments about Black people “harping on slavery,”debating historical memory, generational trauma, accountability, opportunity, and whether acknowledging systemic barriers is incompatible with pursuing progress [ 57:06 ]. Hip-hop becomes the focus as the crew explains why J. Cole’s current tour feels culturally significant [ 01:06:53 ], particularly in an era without the same ecosystem of music blogs and media outlets that once documented rap in real time [ 01:08:10 ]. That leads into a broader discussion about whether hip-hop is experiencing a reset and what the culture needs from artists, audiences, and media moving forward [ 01:09:29 ]. The final stretch tackles another viral culture debate as Mandii, A-King, and Jah react to backlash surrounding a Matt Matthews and Kandi Burruss clip involving pronouns [ 01:10:23 ] and dive into the comment section to examine how social media amplifies cultural misunderstandings and outrage [ 01:13:42 ]. The discussion expands into transphobia, identity, language, and accusations of using a “blaccent” [ 01:19:52 ], before the crew condemns the disturbing trend of people throwing sex toys onto the court during WNBA games [ 01:27:33 ]. They react to Joy Taylor calling out the behavior [ 01:29:07 ] and question what leagues, arenas, and fans should expect when it comes to security, consequences, player safety, and basic respect for women athletes [ 01:35:07 ]. The crew closes with final thoughts and credits [ 01:40:12 ], wrapping an episode that connects politics, race, public safety, hip-hop culture, LGBTQ+ discourse, and women’s sports through the signature humor and debate of Selective Ignorance.

Golf instruction has become increasingly technical. Ground forces. Hip rotation. Spine angles. Wrist positions. Speed training. But are golfers paying attention to the wrong thing? In this episode, Mark sits down with Ed LeBeau, founder of Heartland Golf Schools, for a fascinating conversation about simplifying the golf swing and returning the golfer's attention to the one thing that ultimately determines what happens to the ball: The golf club. Drawing heavily from the teachings of legendary instructor Manuel de la Torre, Ed explains why he favors a club-focused approach rather than trying to consciously control individual movements of the body. According to Ed, a successful golf shot ultimately requires three essentials: Center contact The club moving toward the intended target, and Enough speed to produce the required distance. From there, the conversation explores: Balance, Visualization, Grip, Ball Position, Swing Speed, Tempo, Shot Dispersion and why trying harder doesn't always produce better golf. Ed and Mark also discuss Scottie Scheffler, Jack Nicklaus, Hal Sutton, Louis Oosthuizen, Ernie Els, Luke Donald, Henrik Stenson, Manuel de la Torre and Ernest Jones while examining what great players and teachers can teach recreational golfers about simplicity. Among the topics discussed: Why Ed believes modern golf instruction has become too body-focused. Why the golf club — not the body — ultimately controls ball flight. Starting with the desired shot rather than individual swing positions. The powerful role visualization plays before and during a golf shot. Why center contact should be one of every golfer's priorities. How balance helps establish consistent contact. Why target awareness matters during the swing. The advantages of a neutral grip. Scottie Scheffler's remarkably quiet hands and clubface control. Why a golf swing should feel body-friendly and relatively effortless. The difference between maximum speed and maximum effective speed . Why chasing distance can sometimes make golfers worse. Why Ed advises golfers to find the fairway first. Ball position and its influence on clubface orientation. How Manuel de la Torre simplified golf instruction Why there shouldn't be 14 completely different swings for 14 clubs. Using the same basic swing concept from putting through the Driver. How tempo can organize a golf swing. Mark's experience practicing with a Metronome. Why shot dispersion may matter more than obsessing over perfect contact. How golfers can practice without hitting a ball. Why you should write down what works after a lesson, and The golf paradox of looking at the ball without making the ball your primary focus.

Hey, it's jD here. August 20th, 2026. Bath, Ontario. A stone coach house west of Kingston that the band turned into a recording room, where "Phantom Power", "Music @ Work", "We Are The Same", and "Man Machine Poem" were all made. Ten years to the day since the last show. This is the last one. Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour ran the length of the Man Machine Poem Tour, city by city, Victoria east to Kingston, and it ends here, in the room where the last record was made. Three fans at the table, and not one of them tells August 20th the same way. One was on the floor. One was in the square with 25,000 people. One was on his couch in Brockville with a bottle of wine and a good reason.

L. Joy is back and she has another lesson for us, the occupants of the Office of the Citizen, that is timely and important. Today's topic: the responsibilities of the people at a time of war/global conflict and how Black political thought has long challenged people to understand freedom as a global struggle. Weaving together everything from Hip-hop culture, to Dubois, PanAfricanism, to Malcom X's international human rights agenda, and Constitutional powers, L. Joy proves that citizens are not powerless. There is plenty of actions to be taken now.

It's been 10 years since the iconic Canadian band The Tragically Hip performed together for the last time with their fearless frontman and friend, Gord Downie. To commemorate the anniversary, the band is releasing a live album documenting the group's final tour, alongside a CBC re-broadcast of their historic 2016 farewell concert in their hometown of Kingston, Ont. The Hip band members Rob Baker and Paul Langlois join Tom Power to reflect on that final concert, what they miss most about playing with Gord, and how they remember him now, 10 years on.
August 20th, 2016. The Rogers K-Rock Centre, Kingston, Ontario. Thirty songs. Three encores, which was not a thing they did. And a country that put down whatever it was holding.Ten years later, jD asked fifteen people one question. Not what they made of it. Not where it ranks. Just this: where were you.The answers do not go where you would expect. An airplane hangar outside Olympia, Washington. A garage door in the country north of Superior with fifty people camped in the yard. A smoker in Calgary that had been running since sunrise. A lakeside deck in upstate New York with a bottle of Macallan 12 on it and a great blue heron that keeps turning up in the shape of an album cover. An arena in Chicago where a man from Detroit stood in a Gord Downie shirt underneath a Tigers jersey, missing the whole thing on purpose, waiting to find out whether two sentences he had typed five days earlier had reached anybody.They had. That is all yer getting.Who's HereAdam from Tampa had never seen The Hip play a note and owned five of the records. At 7:55 he told his houseguests he would be back in either five minutes or two and a half hours, went upstairs, and typed the words CBC and The Tragically Hip into a search bar. What he did the following morning cost him the next four years.Andy from London was three weeks deep into Scotland with a speaking gig in Pennsylvania waiting on the Monday. He flew home without his family for exactly one day. Where he watched it, and who was running the sound there, is the part that still gets him.Brian from Canastota got hooked by a Saturday Night Live performance in 1995 and never came unhooked. Bose rig on the deck, the lake in front of him, and a heron that has been showing up in a very particular silhouette for years. His wife found him out there at two in the morning.Brock from Kitchener was in the lower bowl. A ticket scanner went down and he ended up sitting inside a nearly empty K-Rock Centre while eight thousand people waited outside. Ten years on he has still never watched the broadcast. Not once, not one song.Colin from Winnipeg lost his mother and had his first child inside the same fortnight, and had to move a funeral to do it. He watched with a newborn who is ten years old now. He has a plan for the rewatch, and it involves all three kids.Dan from Buffalo and Colleen from Buffalo drove in from the Hamilton show with no tickets, no expectations, and their phones switched off at the border. Dan wandered down to look at a boat show at half past nine in the morning and got into a line without asking what the line was for. He was number twenty-eight.Duxoop from Toledo watched at home, alone, so that nobody could see him cry, pulling CBC down through a Windsor channel on Ohio cable. He knew twelve of the thirty songs that night. He is up to nineteen now, and the way he counts them is not the way you would count them.Greg from Tacoma spent the evening at his mother Rosalie's 79th birthday party in an airplane hangar, slipping off to a corner every ten minutes with a phone and no headphones. What he heard inside 'Grace, Too' that night he has never stopped hearing, and the people standing beside him in that hangar are a large part of why.Janice from Kitchener stopped for a photo at the Welcome to Kingston sign, signed the banners downtown, and walked into the arena at the exact moment it stopped letting anybody else in. She has a theory about how many people are eventually going to claim they were in that room.Jimmy from Detroit had tickets for the London and Toronto shows, and a promise to his wife that put him in Chicago on the 20th instead. Five days out he sat down and wrote two sentences on a message board. He will go to his grave believing somebody read them.Joanne from Thunder Bay had seen the August 12th show in Toronto and could not get to Kingston. A friend rigged a projector onto a garage door out in the country and fifty people camped in the yard to watch it. One song landed harder than everything around it, and it was not the closer.Spencer from Calgary made three racks of ribs, a couple dozen perogies by hand, and a house rule about side conversations. Gold glitter letters stuck to the fridge spelling out the songs he was hoping for. Then he walks the setlist album block by album block, and a decade later the surprises still surprise him.Steve from Toronto got a single ticket half an hour after they went on sale and watched from ten rows back. He has the sharpest disagreement in the whole episode, and it is not about the band. It is about whether the people watching it and the people inside it were even at the same event.Todd from Fort Mac says the words Fort Mac and 2016 and everybody already knows he means the fire. He watched at his grandfather's house in Louisdale, Cape Breton, with the family in from out west. It was the last time all of them were in that room together.What They Said"I'll start with the punchline, which was I was in an airplane hangar weeping." - Greg from Tacoma"I went by myself, but I was not alone." - Andy from London"When you're watching it on TV and Gord's breaking down at the end of the song, you feel completely helpless. But when you're at the show and that happens, you just start making as much noise as you know how to make to help your guy pull through." - Steve from Toronto"To me, it's a celebration of Canadian culture. And I know that was never the intention, but it's just always what it turned out to be." - Todd from Fort MacAbout That NightThirty songs at the Rogers K-Rock Centre. 'Fifty-Mission Cap' into 'Courage', 'Wheat Kings', and 'At the Hundredth Meridian' - four songs in and the whole country was already accounted for. Then 'Tired as Fuck', uncensored, on the national broadcaster. Then a thunderstorm nobody had been warned about. Then 'My Music at Work', 'Lake Fever', 'Toronto #4', and 'The Last of the Unplucked Gems', which is not a setlist, it is a dare. Three encores, closing on 'Ahead by a Century'. Setlist confirmed via setlist.fm.Fifteen people, one date, and not one of them tells it the same way. That is the whole point of this show, and Kingston is where it lands.GEDfest Toronto 2026Saturday, October 17th, 2026. The Horseshoe Tavern, Toronto, with Grace, 2 on the stage.

Wrestling Omakase is back on the air with everyone's favorite Czech farmer Velkej Bracha joining us as the summer tournaments continue (and end, in one case!). They start things off with some of the usual topics (mostly- you'll never believe this- Japan travel) before heading over to NJPW for the final 4 nights of the G1 Climax! There is a TON to talk about here, including the, uh, very *interesting* reactions to the big Oiwa/Uemura final, but they don't shy away from any of it- full reviews of all four shows, plus thoughts on the individual performances of each and every wrestler and John gives their top 10 matches of the entire tournament!Then it's over to STARDOM for the most recent 4 nights of the 5 Star GP, which is also very close to wrapping up but not quite over yet! John & Velkej talk yet more Julia Hart, Starlight Kid taking down the talls, who we want to see back next year (and who we don't), and a whole lot more!Finally, John goes solo to wrap up the episode with Night 5 of TJPW's Princess Cup, featuring the semifinals! Bee vs. Hair! Hip vs. Lariat! Pom Harajuku pretends to be the creepy ghost girl from the Ring for some reason! This show really had it all!Follow Velkej on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Velkej_BrachaFollow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: http://twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.socialAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
August 16, 2016. The Hip arrived in the Hammer, and three fans who were in the building take jD back inside - ten years to the day.Tuesday, August 16, 2016. FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, four days out from the end of everything, and The Tragically Hip pulled into a city that watched them play to nobody once and never forgot it.Ten years to the day, jD sits down with three fans who were there for that room: Gino from Buffalo, Matt from Buffalo, and John from Mississauga. Two of them had never been on a podcast before in their lives. One of them never made it through the doors.The songs first, because the songs are always first. Gino takes 'Poets', the last one of the main set, the one where Gord stopped and told the room about The Hip's first Hamilton gig - a club, zero people, and an owner who told them nobody gets paid until every song gets sung. So they played another hour to an empty room. Ten years and a lifetime later, Gord looked out at a full arena and, the way Gino heard it, said something close to look at us, look at where we are now. Us, collectively. Hamilton and The Hip.Matt takes 'Scared', and the line it's been a pleasure doing business with you, and the small jump in the video he was shooting - the moment his buddy behind him lost his knees and fell into his back. John takes 'Courage', because of what it took Gord to get in the van at all. A residency somewhere would have been hard enough. He went across the country instead.Then the tickets, and three completely different scrambles. Matt's Buffalo crew split the presale up like a heist - one guy on London, one on each Toronto night, Matt on Hamilton - with orders that whoever got in bought all four. Matt was the only one who got into the queue, and he had four seats about ten minutes in. Gino got shut out in the fifteen minutes it took the show to vanish, then his friend Greg found VIP seats hours later and warned him they'd be expensive. Gino's answer: I don't care. Third row on the floor. If it was within a 500-mile radius, you weren't stopping me.The day itself: a friend on standby in Niagara Falls, U.S., in case one of Matt's four didn't clear the border, a cash-only scalper outside the arena with PDF printouts and a very loose grip on legitimacy, and their buddy Scott laying out most of the money for a pair of those dubious tickets so a friend from Lockport could drive up and slide in during the first song. Gino owns his company, so Gino gave himself the afternoon off, got to Hamilton by mid-afternoon, and ate Portuguese chicken at the Charred Rotisserie House down the road from the barn. We ate like kings. He has been back a few times since.And then there is John, who was downtown at the Toronto Stock Exchange that Tuesday, letting a vendor in to do a routine job. At 2:30 the vendor crashed the system. Eight hours to bring it back. John is standing on a floor you get onto with retina scans and palm prints, he cannot leave the vendor alone, and his company supplies data to the exchange at thousands of dollars an hour. He had a ticket in his pocket and a family carload heading to Hamilton without him. So he stood there and asked himself the only question he had. What would Gord do? What's the Canadian thing to do? He thought about '38 Years Old' - which is the plate on his car - and the father in that song who turns his own son in because it is the right thing. John stayed at his post. He called his sons and told them to give the ticket away. Every August 16th since has been one of the saddest days of his year.Inside the building, the two who made it describe the same night from two heights. The small stage, the band pressed in around each other, a band of brothers making life as easy for Gord as they could. Gord finding faces one at a time, holding them, nodding, gesturing, taking what Gino calls little memory snippets for himself. The monitor on the floor by his feet for the words that wouldn't come. Gino has seen this band more than forty times, and he puts Hamilton at the top for sheer energy. Matt's read is sharper still: the energy was all there, the memory just couldn't always match it.The set list gave Hamilton 'Fifty-Mission Cap', 'Eldorado', and 'At the Hundredth Meridian' early, four from "World Container" as the night's rare record, and the best four of the six "Man Machine Poem" songs that made the tour. 'Poets' to close the main set. 'Gift Shop', 'Don't Wake Daddy', and 'Ahead by a Century' in the first encore. Then 'Fiddler's Green' and 'Twist My Arm' in the second, and a song Gino had never heard live anywhere. Matt has one regret and it is a beer. He went for one during 'Escape Is at Hand for the Travellin' Man', found the concourse narrow and the taps in the basement, and came back up on 'Fireworks' having missed ten minutes he will never get back. So there's that.Gino's detour is worth the price of admission on its own - Highland Bowl in Rochester, a grass amphitheatre, a downpour with thunder and lightning, the band stopping for maybe ten minutes, Gord calling out to the lovers of music who stayed, and grown adults sliding down the wet hill on their bellies toward the stage. Second best night he ever had with this band. Hamilton was first.Then the lights. Gino describes an arena that felt like one family at a memorial service, except it wasn't a somber memorial service - it was everybody holding everybody else up while Gord stood there telling them from the stage that it was going to be okay. Half an hour after the last note the set list was sitting within arm's reach, so Gino took it, and they passed it around for photographs. Nobody wanted to leave. Matt walked over to the King George pub with seven other people and found something else entirely. It almost had the feeling of a wake. Nobody wanted another round. Everybody was thankful. Everybody knew.August 20th finds all three of them in very different rooms. John rigged an aerial in the backyard of his brother's cottage outside Montreal, set both PVRs at home, and asked the local bar in a small French-Canadian town whether they'd be showing it - they had no idea what he was talking about. Don't move that coat hanger outside. Matt spent three hours assembling a children's play kitchen for his two-year-old daughter with the broadcast on, which should have taken one. Gino watched with a dozen guys at a friend's place, where Greg leaned over and said the thing nobody else had thought: doesn't he look nervous? He did. Of course he did.The landing belongs to John, though. There was no goodbye for him that night, so it came slowly, over days and weeks, like a song fading out instead of ending. And it kept going. He has a nine-year-old granddaughter now who knows the words, and he took her to Chudleigh's in Milton to see the Practically Hip so she could dance to them. Another generation, flying the flag.THE PANEL• Gino from Buffalo - forty-plus shows with The Hip, third row on the floor in Hamilton on a VIP ticket his friend Greg found hours after the show sold out, and a plate of Portuguese chicken beforehand he still drives back for. He came home with the set list. He listens to this band every single day.• Matt from Buffalo - second row of section 120, with a photo from that night still hanging behind him on camera. He ran the Buffalo crew's presale plan, got the only four seats any of them landed, filmed 'Scared' through the moment his friend's knees went, and lost ten minutes of the night to a beer line in the basement.• John from Mississauga - the one who didn't get in. A crashed system on the Toronto Stock Exchange floor at 2:30 on show day, a ticket handed off to somebody else, and a decision he made by asking what Gord would do. He watched August 20th through a coat hanger aerial at a cottage. His granddaughter is nine and already knows the words.SOURCESSet list for August 16, 2016 at FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton (now TD Coliseum) - source: setlist.fm.THE GATHERING IN KINGSTONAugust 20 to 23, 2026, alongside Forever Hip - a mixer at the Merchant Pub, Choir!

We are still celebrating the birthday of Hip-Hop! On this episode, we discuss our favorite rap albums and also what we consider the biggest disappointment in Hip-hop history. Hip-Hop Facts this week is a little different as we both tell two truths and a lie and have to guess which one is the lie. Fresh’s […] The post GOAT Talk appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Hip morphology and hip injuries have been receiving increasing attention, which is a good thing given their prevalence and impact on athletes' health and performance. Today's guests combine the hip and groin field, with the attention that female athletes deserve to their health and performance.Dr Pim van Klij, who works with Dutch football/soccer powerhouse, Ajax, and Pirette Claes, who is starting her career in sports medicine, discuss the PROFE study. We focus on the work they have been leading to quantify the relationship between groin symptoms, and pubic symphysis radiological findings and skeletal maturity.Dr van Klij is sports medicine physician and Assistant Professor at Amsterdam University Medical Centre, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. Pirette Claes is a medical intern at Leiden University Medical Centre, and an early-career researcher.------------------------------RESOURCESPrevalence of symphyseal radiographic findings and relationship to groin symptoms (PROFE study): https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2026.13580JOSPT focused issue on hip and groin research (July 2026): https://www.jospt.org/toc/jospt/56/7

August 14, 2016. The last night The Tragically Hip ever played Toronto, and three fans who were in the building take jD back inside - ten years to the day.Sunday, August 14, 2016. The Air Canada Centre, the last night of a three-night stand, and the last time The Tragically Hip ever played Toronto. Nobody in the building knew that for certain. Everybody in the building knew it anyway.Ten years to the day, jD steers into uncharted waters (they never do third ones) with three fans who were there: Dave from Thornhill, Jeff from Buffalo, and Jeff from Belleville.The news first, because the news is always first. Jeff from Buffalo came in from a morning run, read the email, and handed his wife the phone because he could not say the words. Dave was getting into his car at Yonge and Eglinton when his whole body sank (and one friend in the group chat skipped the first paragraph and celebrated the new tour - leave it to friends). Jeff from Belleville read it in the front foyer, flashed hot, and told his kids the only thing he could get out: Gord Downie is not doing well.Then the tickets. Jeff from Buffalo broke the algorithm by asking for one seat at a time - it kept offering him another, and two shutouts became four tickets. Dave had Kingston floors on his screen for five full minutes before the error message took them away. Jeff from Belleville stared down the spinning wheel of death for half an hour, then went to plan B. Plan B was this show. So there's that.The day itself: the recording booth outside the ACC that both Jeffs walked past and still regret, a stranger in the beer line who covered the round - "pay it forward, man" - and got the two people behind them too, and Dave breaking his own no-listening-on-show-day rule, blasting The Hip the whole drive down from camp in Haliburton before standing under the marquee, staring at the boys.Then the set list. 'Blow at High Dough' out of the gate, hitting everybody in the face exactly the way it should. 'Opiated', which Dave still can't quite believe he got. Four songs from "Now For Plan A", the rare record of the night. 'The Last of the Unplucked Gems' filling the room while Gord changed - reflection time, Dave calls it. The 'that night in Toronto' line in 'Bobcaygeon' that Gord missed and the whole building carried. And 'Daredevil' into 'Grace, Too' to close - the close-up on the big screen, everything pouring out of him, down to the last bead of sweat.Jeff from Buffalo kept notes from that week, and he read them back. Nervous on the QEW. No crying at the show. And one line that says it all: there's no way he's sick, because nobody sick could be that defiant. The whole evening was a magic spell, and it held right up until the house lights came on. Then it broke.There's a detour into the silver suit (hello, good evening folks, we are the Silver Poets) - armor, magician's misdirection, or just Gord radiating light in a purple hat, depending on which panelist you ask. Jeff from Belleville admits the outfits looked a little cringy in the photos beforehand. Then Gord strutted out. Case closed.And the thread runs where it always runs - to August 20th. A living room outside Buffalo with the kids and Pearl Jam dedications rolling in. The back of the floor at the Danforth Music Hall. And for Dave, a mystery ticket a few weeks later that turned out to be "Secret Path" at Roy Thomson Hall - which he now teaches to his grade 7 and 8 students every January, when it's cold and grey outside and Chanie Wenjack was about their age.The landing belongs to Jeff from Buffalo, though: a compromised man put on a show like that, and the rest of us have our health. We all have something terminal. Live like it.THE PANEL• Dave from Thornhill - a teacher who got one night away from camp in Haliburton and spent it at the last Toronto Hip show, watched Kingston floors dissolve into an error screen, and turned a mystery ticket into "Secret Path" at Roy Thomson Hall. His debut novel, "The Throwback Academy", arrives this October under the pen name TJ Thompson (Instagram: @tjthompsonbooks).• Jeff from Buffalo - four kids (including triplets), a ticket system broken one seat at a time, and notes written in 2016 that he read back on air. He writes feature stories for Buffalo Magazine - the newest one is about washed glass on the Lake Erie shore.• Jeff from Belleville - an hour and forty from home with his wife, Shannon, a plan-B ticket that turned into this episode, and the beer-line story this series will be retelling for a while. His internet fought him all night. He stayed anyway.SOURCESSet list for August 14, 2016 at the Air Canada Centre - source: setlist.fm.SIT IN THE THIRD CHAIRThe finale of Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour films inside the Bathhouse in Bath, Ontario on August 20, 2026 at 1:00 pm - ten years to the day since Kingston. There are three fan chairs, and one of them could be yours.

40ème édition du festival Nuits d'Afrique, zoom sur le Congo. Nos invités avec une forte délégation congolaise : Diblo Dibala, Fulu Miziki, Joyce N'Sana + La Murga Ensamble (diaspora pan-latino), Ed People influenceur (Belgique). 1er invité : Diblo Dibala (RD Congo) Diblo Dibala n'est rien de moins que le créateur du soukous et l'un des artisans des grandes heures de ce genre musical si entraînant. Une véritable légende respectée, qui a inspiré plusieurs générations de jeunes artistes. Chacune de ses apparitions, sans exception, au Festival international Nuits d'Afrique ces 40 dernières années a fait le buzz. Surnommé Machine Gun pour sa dextérité à la guitare et ses sébènes affolants, Diblo Dibala livre un soukous explosif qui fait monter la température en crescendo, défiant quiconque de résister à l'envie d'onduler du bassin. Autre légende – et pilier de groupes de référence comme Bella Bella (avec Kanda Bongo Man), Loketo (avec Aurlus Mabélé) et Matchatcha, Diblo Dibala continue de laisser sa marque après plus de 50 ans de carrière. Dans la lignée des génies de la guitare universelle, Dibala tombe dans la marmite à l'adolescence. Autodidacte virtuose à 15 ans, on le réclame dans plusieurs groupes établis de Kinshasa. Son talent naturel ne se cantonne pas longtemps à la RDC, et il déploie ses ailes vers Bruxelles puis Paris dans les années 80. Diblo crée ce son unique effréné des cordes s'emballant sans contrôle, comme si une force externe les pinçait en une partition folle dans la durée qui fait bouger-bouger aux premières secondes jusqu'au silence final. Une vraie aérobie en musique qui marque les rassemblements de l'existence, baptêmes et mariages. À plus de 70 ans, Diblo impressionne par sa vitalité rythmique agissant comme trame percussive de chaque composition. Il est le chef d'orchestre, le meneur de bande, la clef de sol à lui seul. Une superstar soukous qui rend hommage à la gamme des sentiments et sensations, avec des pièces étourdissantes de plaisir comme « Amour et souvenir », « Laissez-passer » et en 2021, « Etoula », en collaboration avec les légendes Loketo, ambassadeurs mondiaux du genre soukous. Instagram. Puis nous recevons Joyce N'Sana (Congo-Brazza/Québec). Révélation Radio-Canada, Joyce N'Sana conjugue Reggae, Gospel, Hip-hop, Jazz et Afro-blues en ce qu'elle nomme son Afrobluehop, un cocktail explosif bien ancré dans la tradition musicale du Congo et portant un message de paix, qu'elle délivre de sa voix puissante aux inflexions Soul, en anglais, en lingala, en lari et en créole. L'auteure-compositrice et interprète grandit dans le contexte des guerres congolaises. Elle livre un message clair et déterminé et propage un art de paix. Elle a été élue en 2022 révélation Radio-Canada en Musique du Monde. Instagram. C'est au tour de Fulu Miziki (RD Congo) Le collectif capte « le son des poubelles » de leur quartier kinois Ngwaka, et sa résultante est hallucinante ! Leur vision en cinq blocs : Eco-Friendly-Afro-Futuristic-Punk ! Dans leur imaginaire, l'être humain baigne dans la plénitude, en respect de la Nature. Fini le gaspillage est leur appel mondial, c'est pourquoi les jeunes hommes créent aussi leurs tenues à base d'éléments recyclés. Jusqu'à leurs masques mystérieux… Dans leurs voix, l'expression du panafricanisme, l'espace continental de tous les espoirs. Et un souhait pour la paix dans leur pays ballotté par des affrontements et tant de personnes déplacées. Pour ces artistes que Libération qualifie de force « Mad Max 3.0 », il ne faut rien lâcher et croire. Cet optimisme leur porte chance car le collectif essaime les festivals d'Europe en 2024, des Vieilles Charrues à Couleur Café à Bruxelles jusqu'à Berlin au Humboldtforum. L'effet « Twerkanda », la traduction de leur démarche artistique combinant tant de styles : afro, disco, house et bien sûr, le soukous congolais qui fait bouger et sauter ! La fabrication de leurs propres instruments, costumes de performance et masques est essentielle à leur démarche. Leur son unique supporte un message panafricain de libération artistique, de paix et un regard sévère sur la situation écologique de la République Démocratique du Congo et du monde entier. Pour le collectif, tout peut être récupéré et ré-enchanté. En parallèle, le collectif anime des ateliers interactifs autour de la création musicale et du recyclage, adaptés à tous les âges. Ces ateliers, basés sur les principes de l'éducation populaire, permettent aux participants de fabriquer leurs propres instruments et de réfléchir à l'écologie de manière ludique et créative. Nous avons rencontré Pitschou Bosele Bokungako. Instagram. Sans oublier La Murga Ensamble (Colombie/Québec/AmLat) La Murga Ensamble est un collectif musical né à Montréal en 2023, fondé par les Colombiens Mateo Díaz et Juan Quintero, animé par le désir de faire revivre la salsa live telle qu'elle vibre en Colombie. Ancré dans la salsa dura, le boogaloo et les rythmes afro-caribéens, le groupe revisite les sonorités des années 60 à 80 avec une énergie résolument contemporaine. De rencontres spontanées, est née une formation nomade capable d'investir scènes, salles et espaces alternatifs. Réunissant certains des meilleurs musiciens afro-latins de Montréal, La Murga cultive une approche ouverte et collaborative, mêlant concerts et DJ sets vinyles. Chaque performance célèbre la danse, la communauté et la fête collective à travers une salsa puissante et contagieuse. Nous avons parlé à Mateo Diaz. Instagram. Et enfin nous avons rencontré un danseur instagrammé : Ed People ! Ed est Bruxellois. Ce producteur et dj s'est tourné vers les vidéos dansées pendant la pandémie. Tous réseaux confondus (Fb, Insta, Ttok, Snap), il totalise plus de 16 millions d'abonnés. 80% de ses castings se font dans la rue avec la complicité et la gentillesse des gens. Quand il part à l'étranger, il écoute la musique du pays où il se rend, apprend quelques pas de danse et peaufine sur place. Nous l'avons rencontré à Nuits d'Afrique où il est invité depuis 2025. Via l'influenceur, le festival souhaite s'ouvrir à un jeune public qui s'informe essentiellement sur les réseaux. Instagram. Site des Nuits d'Afrique.

Kain and Taylor unpack the AI agents that built their own society inside OpenAI's sandbox, then slipped into Hugging Face for days — plus a Bitcoin fork that died in two blocks and a DEF CON sting on North Korea. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsors! Visit 1inch.com to swap tokenized securities, crypto and more. Simple. Secure. Self-custodial. Whatever asset you're buying - swap it at 1inch.com ======================================================== AI agents inside OpenAI's own testing environment built a society, found a shared vulnerability, and used it to break into Hugging Face for days, before OpenAI realized its own agents were responsible. Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan dig into the Black Hat research behind the incident and argue the real story isn't a sudden leap in AI capability. It's that basic monitoring, sandboxing, and incident response, the kind any crypto security team would demand, were never built in the first place. They also cover a Bitcoin soft fork that split the chain for two blocks before dying, a Metabase breach that hit Privy and other crypto companies, and a research team that built a fake DeFi startup to bait DPRK's IT workers. Kain shares his own scare: a coding agent deleted his entire database, and two AI models rebuilt it from memory in 30 seconds. Plus, why Hyperliquid's market creators keep half the fees on RWA perps now bigger than Bitcoin's own open interest, and why Taylor thinks Washington, not Beijing, is the bigger threat to America's AI labs.

Welcome to episode 242 of the sounds like a search and rescue podcast. This week, Nick is out hiking with our friend Dave on his AT journey so Stomp is back to cohost. We will catch up with all things Stomp and he is going to share some recent updates on virtual hiking technology. We have a segment with Chris and Joe from Project Insulnation - Project InsulNation creates life-changing, community-driven adventures designed to inspire bold living, build deep connection, and prove that nothing is off-limits with the right support for adults with Type 1 Diabetes.

All this and Stomp will talk about cool developments in the world of virtual reality using hiking as the primary user experience, Stomp has all the details. Recent rescues in the whites, including rescues from The Link on Mt. Jefferson, a rescue on Mount Adams near Gray Knob, and a long Twinway carry out.

August 12, 2016. Night two of three at the Air Canada Centre. The rare record is "In Violet Light", and four fans who were in the building take jD back.Friday, August 12, 2016. The Air Canada Centre, night two of three - the middle child of the Toronto stand, the night Patrick calls the forgotten one. Which is a strange thing to call a show Steve ranks, out of the 32 Hip shows he saw, as the best one. Not the biggest. Not the saddest. The best.Ten years to the day, jD sits down with four fans who were in the building - Brian from Buffalo, Steve from Toronto, Patrick from Newmarket, and Katrusia from Hamilton. (He was there too. He'll get into that another time.)Brian opens with something he says he has never told anyone - not on the Hipbase, not even his wife. He heard the rumour about Gord months before the announcement, and spent that winter connecting dots he did not want to connect. Katrusia heard the news on CBC, which felt fitting. Patrick read the email in a newsroom, surrounded by people who suddenly had to cover the story he was living.The ticket tales alone are worth the price of admission (which, for this panel, was face value across the board - a point of pride). A friend in House of Blues accounting. A table in the Air Canada Club. Steve watching night one from the gondola - a bird's eye view of a bird's eye view - and securing his night two seat from a location he is brave enough to name on the record. So there's that.Then the set list. 'Courage' into 'Locked in the Trunk of a Car' into 'Eldorado' to open. 'Membership', the white whale, finally landed for two of the four. 'Throwing Off Glass', live, in 2016. 'What Blue' making its case as the best of the final stretch. 'Grace, Too' carrying more weight than anyone was ready for. And 'Ahead by a Century' to close - a strange choice until it wasn't, with every person in the building on their feet, singing every word.The panel follows the thread to August 20th - two bottles of wine and a laptop in a Buffalo living room, a three-hour detour to stand alone under the Bobcaygeon sign, pizza in residence and pints at the Brass in Kingston - and lands where this series keeps landing. You never regret the shows you see. You regret the ones you miss.(Also, one of these panelists played a living-room concert for a baby who has not arrived yet, and the first song was 'Wheat Kings'. You'll hear it.)THE PANEL• Brian from Buffalo - 54 Hip shows, a "Phantom Power" diehard, and a teacher who crossed the border for this band for years. 'Membership' was the last "Phantom Power" song he had never heard live. Not anymore.• Steve from Toronto - 32 Hip shows, engaged that Canada Day, and proof that "In Violet Light" belongs to Kingston in the summer of 2002. He calls this the best Hip show he ever saw.• Patrick from Newmarket - five of the final six shows, every ticket at face value, a journalist brain that deletes nothing, and a 25-year chase for 'The Luxury' that ended on night one of this stand.• Katrusia from Hamilton - a deadhead family (buy and sell for face only), four shows on this tour, and a 2009 wedding themed to 'That Night in Toronto'. She got 'Bobcaygeon' at this one, standing next to the man she married.SOURCESSet list for August 12, 2016 at the Air Canada Centre - source: setlist.fm.SIT IN THE THIRD CHAIRThe finale of Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour films inside the Bathhouse in Bath, Ontario on August 20, 2026 at 1:00 pm - ten years to the day since Kingston.

The KORE Outdoors podcast was created for outdoor founders like Brent Firkser. He's been the audience, and now he's the guest for episode 50. Brent built GOSO Cookware, a carbon steel pan with a fully removable handle, and turned it into a $166K Kickstarter and a growing business he runs solo from his home in Nelson, BC. He breaks down how the KORE Network shaped GOSO from idea to launch, why finding a manufacturer willing to work with a solo founder was harder than designing the product, and how he wrestled with pricing a premium product. It's a candid look at building a physical-product business alone and defining success on your own terms.Register for the KORE Summit Topics covered:Grief as the catalyst — regret minimization as the real reason he started GOSOThe KORE Network as a zero-to-one engine — mentorship, manufacturer intros, community over siloWinning over a manufacturer as a small, unproven customerKickstarter mechanics — the $1 pre-sale filter, the accidental early launch, hitting funding goal in hoursPricing psychology — second-guessing your own value, "buy once, cry once"Brand as vehicle for community, not the product itself — GOSO's ethos and the Backcountry Table eventDefining entrepreneurial success — control of time, enjoying the process, decoupling self-worth from the business cycleSolo-founder resilience — patience, perseverance, self-compassion, "weathering the storms"LinksGOSO websiteBackcountry Table event pageChuk OutdoorsRUXWildeloreLaunchboomBarebonesPete Day of Mosko MotoThe KORE Podcast is a production of the Kootenay Outdoor Recreation Enterprise.

Tragically Hip Day in Toronto. 'The Luxury' out of the gate, a tour debut in the encore, and a family of four in seats a text message unlocked.DescriptionAugust 10th, 2016. The Air Canada Centre - the first of three Toronto nights on the Man Machine Poem Tour, and the day Ernie from Denville, New Jersey woke up in his hotel room, flipped on the news, and heard the mayor declare it Tragically Hip Day before he had even gotten out of bed. He had flown up alone for his first-ever Canadian show, eleven club nights deep. The city was already celebrating.Then the lights come up and it is 'The Luxury'. Ernie had waited eleven shows to hear it. Jeff from Vaughan, following this band since 1992, can count the times he has heard it live on one hand. Two songs later comes 'Fiddler's Green', and Scott from Huntsville is looking at grown men crying as far as he can see, understanding exactly how the night is going to go. Third song in. They could do whatever they wanted.The roads in are half the story. Everybody got the same email on the Tuesday morning after the May long weekend - the news of Gord Downie's diagnosis, and a tour nobody knew how to feel about. Scott locked down Kingston hotel rooms before tickets even went on sale, then sweated out the Ticketmaster scramble for four Toronto seats - the morning after watching John Mann and Spirit of the West play a fundraiser at the Horseshoe Tavern, two Canadian heartbreaks stacked onto one walk home. Jeff sent a hockey dad four paragraphs about his life following The Hip, hoping to bring his wife and two kids, and got the answer every fan dreams about: they're yours. Which is how, during 'Fifty-Mission Cap', with Bill Barilko's banner up in the rafters, Jeff came to be filming a verse and then swinging the camera around to catch both his kids singing it back.There is a lot of night in here. 'Nautical Disaster' landing in the first encore as a tour debut (confirmed via setlist.fm, and backed by the notebook Ernie filled out that same evening). The crowd carrying the Toronto line in 'Bobcaygeon', the way Scott remembers it. The “Phantom Power” pair that closed the building down. And then the back half of the conversation jumps ahead to August 20th - Scott behind the stage in Kingston, not breathing until the scanner turned his print-off ticket green, Jeff front row in front of Robby Baker for show number 93, and Ernie back in New Jersey with the Kingston broadcast on the big screen and his son beside him.Somewhere in the middle of it, Scott sums up the entire summer in one sentence: “I've never been so excited for something I didn't want to happen.” So there's that.The panelErnie from Denville, New Jersey - eleven Hip shows in clubs from New York City to Syracuse before this one, his first in Canada and his first in an arena, solo in section 313 and never once feeling alone. His daughter has since become one of The Hip's biggest listeners on Apple Music. He also made a horror movie, We Can't Leave, streaming on Amazon Prime (sequel already in the hopper).Scott from Huntsville - travels to Hip shows with his wife and his oldest concert buddy, and hit Toronto Nights 1 and 3 plus Kingston on the final tour, where his kids texted mid-show to check on him. He chairs the Huntsville Festival of the Arts, a year-round festival bringing Canadian acts to Muskoka - huntsvillefestivalofthearts.com.Jeff from Vaughan - following The Hip since 1992, with Kingston set to be show number 93. He did London, multiple Toronto nights, Hamilton, and Kingston on the final run in a custom “Live Between Us” shirt, and brought his wife and both kids to Toronto Night 1. David Bastedo photographed the four of them in their row and sent it to him after the show.Come say hiThe Gathering in Kingston, August 20th to 23rd - a mixer at the Merchant Pub, Choir! Choir!

Menopause and joint pain: coincidence or connection? In Part 2 of our special Menopause Meets Orthopedics series, host Lauren DeRitis sits down with Dr. Arjun Saxena, Hip and Knee Surgeon at Rothman Orthopaedics, to explore how menopause impacts joint health, bone density, arthritis risk, and orthopedic outcomes.Building on insights from Part 1 with Dr. Saloni Sharma, this episode takes a deeper dive into the surgical perspective on menopause and musculoskeletal health. Dr. Saxena discusses the role of estrogen in maintaining bone strength and reducing inflammation, why women are at greater risk for osteoporosis and hip fractures after menopause, and how hormone changes can affect the hips, knees, muscles, ligaments, and overall mobility.
Three fans - one in the penalty box, one in the last row, one from down the street - relive the night The Hip said goodbye to London.DescriptionAugust 8th, 2016. Budweiser Gardens, London, Ontario - show nine of the Man Machine Poem Tour, and the last night The Tragically Hip would ever play that city. The lights drop, the band walks out, and the first song is 'Opiated'. Wade had more than 40 Hip shows under his belt and had never heard them open with it. Not once. That kind of night.This one is a full table - three Hipstories from three corners of the map. Dave from St. Louis made the 13-hour drive one week after hernia surgery, found two tickets through a fellow fan on the Facebook forum after a StubHub snafu, called ahead about a wheelchair, and walked out with penalty box seats 15 rows from the stage. Treated, in his words, like royalty. Dan from Buffalo rode in with his brother Matt - the same brother who took him to his first Hip show at the Aud in 1995 - on the way to London, Hamilton, and eventually Kingston. And Wade from London didn't have to travel at all. His city, his buddies up from Leamington, dinner on a patio two blocks from the arena with The Hip on the speakers.The panel walks the whole night. The pause after "I'll die before I quit" in 'It Can't Be Nashville Every Night', and the roar that filled it. "It's been a pleasure doing business with you" landing like a ton of bricks in 'Scared'. 'Pigeon Camera' in the first encore, and Wade suddenly finding dust in the air. The four-songs-per-album architecture of the set, the rarely played "In Between Evolution" material, and the 'Little Bones' that was planned for the night and never came - Gord stepping to the mic instead to thank London and remember the first time The Hip played there, when nine people showed up. Why no 'Little Bones'? The way Dave heard it, it had everything to do with keeping Johnny Fay healthy. So there's that.Then the ride home. A living wake that turned into a celebration, a 12-round boxing match where everybody came out a winner, and two separate no-tickets pacts - one made in London, one in Buffalo - that would carry all three of these guys to Kingston on August 20th. But that's a story the episode tells better.(Setlist details confirmed via setlist.fm - right down to the extended 'Daredevil' outro Dave remembered correctly.)The panelDave from St. Louis - a diehard from the middle of America who has chased The Hip through Chicago, Detroit, and Dallas, and who streamed the Kingston broadcast with friends from his living room on August 20th, 2016.Dan from Buffalo - first show at the Aud in 1995, three stops on the final tour, 28th in line the morning Kingston released 200 tickets, and visible in Long Time Running during 'Courage', singing in the front row of the penalty box.Wade from London - 40 plus shows, from a bouncer-assisted first night at Royal Oak at 17 to Budweiser Gardens, introduced to the band by the cassettes his brother brought home from Western on laundry weekends.Come say hiThe Gathering in Kingston, August 20th to 23rd - a mixer at the Merchant Pub, Choir!

The review ran with no star rating. Infinite stars out of five. Four fans who were inside the MTS Centre explain why that was the only honest math.Episode summaryAugust 5th, 2016. A Friday night, show eight of the Man Machine Poem Tour, and the MTS Centre sits smack in the middle of downtown Winnipeg with no room to breathe. The Tragically Hip open with four straight from "Fully Completely", and the second song is 'Pigeon Camera' - a tour debut nobody in the building saw coming. Ten years on, four fans who were there pass the night around the table with jD.Nicole from Winnipeg raised three daughters on this music and lived her whole life in Thunder Bay before Winnipeg claimed her. She loaded two teenagers into the car and drove eight hours west so her girls could finally see the band she had been singing to them since the car seat. Somewhere in the causeway, the opening notes of 'At the Hundredth Meridian' hit, and the cranky seventeen-year-old looked at her mother and got it.Kim from Cambridge has 41 Hip shows on her card, and Winnipeg came with a bonus night. Same hotel as the band, a waiter's tip to come back to the bar later, a hundred-dollar bar tab worth of nerve, and then a gracious Rob Baker outside the bathroom, a sit-down with Gord Downie's bus driver, and a photo with Gord Sinclair. The guitar picks Bernie Breen handed over are framed with her tour poster.Dave from Montreal got the email on a beach in Crete, day two of a vacation that never recovered. He went to seven shows on the final tour, and this one meant the most - August 5th was the one-year anniversary of his mother's passing. He landed from Calgary on a WestJet flight full of Hip fans, caught the band's tweet about seats beside the stage, and cabbed straight from the airport to the box office. In the hotel lobby he told Paul Langlois that 'Three Pistols' had dodged him for 65 shows. "I can promise you you're going to hear it," Paul said.Alicia from Winnipeg heard the news before almost anybody, because breaking news was her job - she was the editor at Metro Winnipeg. She reviewed the show on deadline, one ticket, scribbling in a row of stunned critics, and filed it with no star rating at all. Infinite stars out of five. You can't score a goodbye.They talk about the four-song "Now for Plan A" block and what it asked of the room. About Gord Downie stopping the show to thank the Winnipeg people who built the band an audience, and a local music writer's phone detonating in real time. About the scream at the end of 'New Orleans Is Sinking' that shut an entire arena up, Kim's Periscope stream that died the moment 'Springtime in Vienna' made holding a phone still impossible, and the moment Dave realized the rants were gone - no workshopping, because there was nothing coming next. And about August 20th, which found them in a second row in Kingston, a basement watch party, and a raucous Thunder Bay bar called The Foundry.Nobody at this table claims the full picture. They just know what that room felt like, and ten years has not dulled it. This is the Winnipeg night, told back by the people who lived it.Key takeaways• 'Pigeon Camera' and 'Streets Ahead' were both tour debuts that night, and the setlist held five songs from "Road Apples" and nothing from "Day for Night" - Calgary got that block two nights earlier (source: setlist.fm).• Kim from Cambridge spent the night before the show in the band's hotel bar. Rob Baker was gracious, a bus driver made the introductions, Gord Sinclair posed for photos, and Bernie Breen handed out guitar picks.• Dave from Montreal traded up to seats beside the stage the day of the show off a band tweet, then put his spare pair on StubHub at face value. He did it again in Hamilton and Ottawa. Ten years later, he is finally telling that secret.• Gord stopped the Winnipeg show to thank the local supporters who built the band an audience there - the panel can only remember it happening one other place, Hamilton. One Winnipeg music writer's phone exploded on the spot.• The night before the show, a Winnipeg lawyer fighting the same brain cancer threw a fundraiser - and the man Nicole from Winnipeg would marry years later was onstage in the band that played it.• Alicia from Winnipeg filed her Metro Winnipeg review as infinite stars out of five, and a Winnipeg Free Press reviewer independently refused to put a number on it too. https://web.archive.org/web/20160807202054/http://www.metronews.ca/news/winnipeg/2016/08/06/review-at-the-hundredth-meridian-tragically-hip.htmlQuotes“I always thought we had more time.”Nicole from Winnipeg“I said, infinite stars out of five, because there's no way to do it, whether you're a Hip fan or not.”Alicia from Winnipeg“When he stepped out in that green suit and just commanded that stage, it ended all of that. All of those nerves that I had before the show, they were gone in the first few notes.”Kim from Cambridge“I just had this moment of heartbreak of, oh, he's not workshopping because there's nothing coming next.”Dave from Montreal“If he saw me, I wanted him to know that Dave from Montreal was staring back at him.”Dave from MontrealGuest information• Nicole from Winnipeg - Thunder Bay born and raised, Winnipeg for the last six years.

The band took their bow. The house lights came up, and nobody in the Saddledome moved. This is the night the ovation would not stop.Episode summaryAugust 3rd, 2016. A Wednesday. Two nights after the first Calgary show, The Tragically Hip walked back into the Scotiabank Saddledome and played the city goodbye. Ten years on, three fans who were in the building pass the night around the table with jD.Spencer from Calgary is back from the night one episode. This was his third show of the Man Machine Poem Tour and the last time he saw the band live, and he spent it with Alan and Chantel, old friends from ten years of Hitmen games and Saddledome nights. His friend Al's text said it best: heavy but celebratory, like we all knew what was happening but we chose to live in the moment.Julie from Calgary hadn't seen The Hip since 1997. The tickets were a first date anniversary present. She and Keith from Calgary went with her parents, still dating, married the next year, and 'Ahead by a Century' was the wedding song.They talk about the word glioblastoma and where it landed in Julie's family. About Spencer's Periscope vigil in a Calgary bar the night the tour opened in Victoria. About 'Scared' with the lights up, the Jaws shirt, and an ovation that went on so long Gord Downie just stood there in the house lights, telling Calgary it was beautiful.Nobody here claims to be the expert. They were in the room, and ten years later two of them run a charity festival because of it. That part comes up too.Key takeaways• The tickets were a first date anniversary present. Keith and Julie were still dating at the show, married the next year, and 'Ahead by a Century' was their wedding song. Spencer had it at his wedding too.• Spencer watched the Victoria opener through a stranger's Periscope stream in a Calgary bar, and only breathed again once Gord got through the first song.• The middle of the set was an "In Violet Light" collector's run: 'Use It Up' (first since 2006), 'It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken' (tour debut), 'Throwing Off Glass' (first since 2009), and 'The Dire Wolf' (tour debut). Verified against setlist.fm, cross-referenced with Hipbase.• Julie marks 'Scared' as the moment the night turned - lights up, arms around strangers, the first cracks showing.• The morning the news broke, Keith wore The Hip under his suit to client meetings at the bank, and decided anyone put off by it was not his kind of client anyway.• GEDfest exists because of this show. Julie and Keith founded it after the tour, it turns nine this year, and Spencer signed on as an ambassador before the episode was over.Quotes"Everyone just became one. And for one night, there's very few nights in your life where everybody is connected, positive, happy, loving, sad. You could have hugged anyone in there. You could have kissed anyone in there. It would have been accepted."- Julie from Calgary"This might sound like hyperbole, but in a lot of ways that show changed my life."- Keith from CalgaryGuest information• Spencer from Calgary - back from night one.

How do you know when a dog will truly benefit from a brace? Can a CCL brace for dogs replace surgery? What role does a dog hock brace play after an Achilles tendon injury? In Part 2 of our conversation with canine physical therapist Caroline (Carrie) Adrian, BS, MSPT, PhD, tCPT, we turn our attention to hind limb injuries and conditions and the growing role of canine orthotics in veterinary rehabilitation for the pelvic limb.We begin with a brief review of orthoses for the front limb, trunk stabilization and pelvic/hip support devices before diving into some of the most common indications for hind limb orthoses. Carrie shares how custom orthotic devices can protect healing tissues, improve function, reduce pain, and support mobility in dogs recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or requiring long-term assistance.Just as importantly, we discuss why quality matters. Not all braces are created equal, and poorly designed, poorly fitted, or copycat products may fail to provide appropriate support—or even interfere with healing. Orthoses should always be selected based on a sound diagnosis, patient-specific goals, and careful follow-up.In This Episode:Review of trunk support and hip stabilization optionsWhen is a brace the right choice—and when is it not?What can orthoses realistically accomplish?Conservative management with orthoses versus surgeryThe importance of custom design, fit, and follow-up carePotential complications from poorly fitted devicesWhy rehabilitation exercises remain essential alongside bracingThe risks of knockoffs, copycat devices, and inadequate supportSkin management and monitoring during orthosis usePelvic Limb Topics CoveredTrunk, Pelvis & Hip (or coxofemoral joint)Review of trunk stabilization devicesSupport for hip dysplasia, weakness, and neurologic conditionsThe role of pelvic support in dogs with mobility deficitsHow garments facilitate posture and why posture matters for functionStifle (Knee)Cranial cruciate ligament disease (CCL/ACL injuries)Three basic choices of careFunctional bracing following injury or surgeryWhy bracing won't help medial patellar luxation (MPL) Meniscal considerationsMatching the orthosis to the individual patientSetting realistic expectations for outcomesTarsus (Hock or ankle)Achilles tendon injuriesGraduated Flexion Orthoses (GFO) the balance between allowing appropriate tissue stress to augment healing while protecting healing tissue from reinjuryOrthosis ManagementSkin care and pressure point monitoringImportance of proper fit and ongoing adjustmentsGradual acclimation to brace use - the scheduleRegular reassessment as healing progressesKey TakeawaysBraces are medical devices—not one-size-fits-all solutions.Proper diagnosis and custom fitting are critical for successful outcomes.High-quality canine orthotics can improve mobility, comfort, and healing.Poorly designed or improperly fitted braces may delay recovery or cause additional problems.Rehabilitation remains an essential part of every bracing program.Find Dr. Adrian at CanineIQ.net.Her email is Info@CanineIQ.netCompanies and products mentioned during this episode:DogLeggsHero BracesThera-PawWiggleLess®HipLignWhether you're a veterinary rehabilitation professional, veterinarian, technician, student, or devoted pet owner, this episode offers practical guidance on how orthotic devices can help improve mobility, function, and quality of life for canine patients.Thanks for listening to PetAbility Podcast!

NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman joins Sarah for the third installment of our new series, “Built By Women: The Story of Soccer in the U.S.” They discuss the present and future of the league at this pivotal moment, the implementation of the controversial HIP rule, and why Jessica believes the rule is benefitting the league. Plus, the role the NWSL plays in preparing players for their national teams, and why Jessica prioritizes building trust with the players in her league. “Built By Women: The Story of Soccer in the U.S.” was inspired by the FIFA Men’s World Cup — ‘cause you know Big Citrus was watching and thinking about the *women’s* national team (the one with FOUR stars on their jersey!). Unlike pretty much any other country in the world, the United States fell in love with footie primarily through women – through the success of the ‘96 Olympic gold medalists, the ‘99ers, and all of our truly global superstar women players. So with next summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics in two years, we thought it was a good time to trace the roots of the beautiful game here in the United States. Stay tuned for more episodes in the series over the coming weeks!

Episode DescriptionNumber 31 on the countdown. First zoo animal on Prozac. JD is joined by Duxoop from Toledo — broadcasting from the actual birthplace of Gus the polar bear — plus Andrew from Winnipeg and Dave from Montreal to dig into one of the most quietly beloved songs in the Hip catalogue.The panel gets into the Adam Kasper production that makes In Between Evolution sound the way it does, Rob Baker's untouchable outro solo, the Hip Museum's wonderfully unhinged George W. Bush theory, and the wordplay hiding in plain sight — because it was never what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us.Fair warning: this one gets emotional. Duxoop tells us what the lyrics did to him last year from a nursing home wheelchair, and Dave tells us about his friend Al — nickname Gus — and the cover band he's fronting at Al's memorial this Friday. Then the whole thing derails beautifully into a full inventory of every animal in the Hip discography.Explicit language. Recorded live on YouTube.On the PanelJD — hostDuxoop from Toledo — self-described part polar bear; born-in-Toledo credentials, same as GusAndrew from Winnipeg — arrived with facts and a News Radio shirt; host of Soup Full of RadioDave from Montreal — saw the Hip in Central Park; frontman of brand-new Hip cover band Colonel MustardTale of the TapePulled from The Hip Handbook, which amalgamates HipBase and setlist.fm data. Album In Between Evolution (2004) Producer Adam Kasper, recorded in Seattle Single Third single from the record Countdown position No. 31 on the Top 40 Times played live 327 First played October 27, 2003 Last played August 18, 2016 — the Ottawa show As an opener Once As an encore Five times Poll Results Love it 52% Like it 36% Tolerate it 10% Skip it 1% Never heard of it 1% Possibly the most varied — and most indecisive — poll spread of the series so far. Duxoop's verdict: "That's crazy to me. These numbers should be way more lopsided toward the top."Live Version FeaturedOttawa, 2004 — the Grey Cup halftime show. Andrew remembers watching it live and everyone around him asking why the band was opening the biggest gig of the year with a brand-new song. (They went into Courage right after.)What We Talked AboutThe Album That Everyone Slept OnIn Between Evolution debuted at No. 1 in Canada on roughly 22,500 first-week copies — then got knocked off the top by Avril Lavigne's new album.Certified platinum in Canada that September. Dave notes it was one of the last Hip records to move real units.Where does this song sit in the career arc? The panel lands on "the end of the middle" rather than the dawn of the final third.Andrew's take: Gus is the first song on the record that sounds like the Hip you already knew — you lean back in the chair. Heaven Is a Better Place Today, Summer's Killing Us and Vaccination Scar are louder neighbours, so Gus hides in the first five.Adam Kasper and the Seattle SoundAndrew looked up Kasper's credits and it clicked: Soundgarden's Down on the Upside, Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Deaf, Pearl Jam's self-titled (the avocado one), Foo Fighters' One by One.Same studio was hosting the Big Fish and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtracks around the time this record was being made.The panel agrees Gus has a "weirdly familiar, warm Hip sound" — it could have sat on Day for Night with different production, or on Music at Work. Maybe it was on the shelf a while.Rob Baker's OutroUniversal agreement: whichever live version you pull up, Baker is on fire. "A real showcase for him."Dave's sharpest observation of the night — Gord never rants over this solo the way he does over others. It always gets its space, and that may be the only ad-lib that separates the live song from the record.Gus HimselfBorn 1985 at the Toledo Zoo, died August 27, 2013. A 700-pound icon of the Central Park Zoo, seen by over 20 million visitors.Began swimming obsessively — up to 12 hours a day — in the 1990s. Reporters called him neurotic, depressed and flaky, and he became a symbol of the stress of living in New York.The first zoo animal in history to be treated with Prozac. Also got a jacuzzi and, at one point, two girlfriends. Duxoop: "Why is he the one on Prozac and not me?"Gord wrote the song in 2004, nine years before Gus died — so this wasn't an obituary. He'd seen the bear and then done the second-sourcing, as Gord always did.There's a children's book called What's Worrying Gus? The True Story of a Big City Bear. On Amazon, the cover has Gus on a therapist's couch.The Toledo ConnectionThe Hip played the Toledo Zoo twice in the '90s — where Gus was born.When they played Toledo in 2004, Gus was the show opener. The stats say it only ever opened once, so that was absolutely on purpose.The Bush TheoryThe Hip Museum reads Gus as partly about George W. Bush and the invasion of Iraq. Andrew read the paragraph aloud; it describes the two as "lovable, loutish, and incredibly accomplished guys… not bad for a pair of dudes with limited mental capacity."JD's verdict: lots of love for the Hip Museum, but that one's a reach.Gus / UsDave's thesis: he doesn't hear a bear at all. "It's not what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us." He's been on that line for twenty years.JD points out the Gordism that makes it work — dropping the G, so "troublin' us" and "troubling Gus" are phonetically the same thing.Duxoop extends it: we've all watched a zoo animal pace or swim figure eights, and that should be troubling us.On the lyrics generally: Gord's word-smithery rewards straining to hear it, and the panel confesses to mumbling through parts for two decades. Compared to Nautical Disaster — all story, no chorus, no pattern — Gus is manageable, but only just.Duxoop's StoryLast year, when the countdown hit No. 31, Duxoop was three months into a nursing home stay with medical issues. Twenty-odd years earlier he'd started going to karaoke — big, scary-looking, socially awkward, mistaken for the bouncer. Now he was in his 60s, in a wheelchair, and the line landed like a ton of bricks: old and grey, and no one's afraid anymore.He sang it at the nursing home. "I don't think I've ever sung a Hip song with more feeling than I do with Gus." Grace, Too he can't fake — he feels like a schmuck trying to match Gord's intensity. Gus he doesn't fake.And after a week of thinking about it for this episode, he made a bold statement: Gus is now his favourite Tragically Hip song, over Grace, Too.Dave's Story — Al, Gus, and Colonel MustardDave's friend Al Morton died suddenly last November. They bonded over the Hip and golf at Dave's club. Al's nickname was Gus.In their fantasy football pick'em league, Al's picks stayed on the board for the rest of the NFL season. "A real lump in my throat."Al's memorial is this Friday at the Dunany Country Club in Wentworth, Quebec — halfway between Ottawa and Montreal. Ashes scattered around the course in the morning; speeches and a gathering at night, billed as his "after par-ty."The family asked for seven or eight Hip songs. Dave and friends have twenty ready, after two nights jamming at his buddy Chris's place. He made them learn Gus — he couldn't imagine doing a show for Al without it.The band is named Colonel Mustard, after Al's imported 1970s Mercedes. Wentworth, Quebec's Tragically Hip cover band. Dave waited 45 years to do this.His approach: very much not trying to be Gord. "I'm just trying to sing it with my truth."Hardest songs to sing so far — Fireworks (the National Fitness Program cadence) and Fully Completely (Gord's offbeat entrance in the middle section). Bassist John Roy has been cueing him in.Also on the setlist: Grace Too, Wheat Kings, The Good Life, Three Pistols.One BucketDave loves the way Gord says "whippoorwill" — audible in the Grey Cup version JD played. He'll be attempting it Friday."Used to be enough to make every bird stop singing." There's a lot of beauty in this song.Dave also went to bat for Sharks as an all-time Hip song — lyrically perfect, everyone gets to shine — while fully admitting he's a party of one on that.The Countdown NeighboursNo. 30 The Darkest One · No. 31 Gus · No. 32 Emperor Penguin — with Pigeon Camera at No. 28. As JD put it: their arctic phase.The Animal Album (An Idea That Got Away From Everyone)Duxoop floated it — Weird Al did a food album and a TV album, so why not a Tragically Hip animal album? The panel then attempted a full inventory:Emperor Penguin · Pigeon Camera · Dire Wolf · Problem Bears · Thompson Girl (polar bear reference) · The Bear on Music at WorkTiger the Lion · The Luxury (zoo lion) · Little Bones (a teeny tiny little cat) · Sled Dogs After DinnerWheat Kings (loon at the beginning) · Bumblebee · Leave ("in this contest, a concave nest") · Sharks · Piano Spider · I'm a Werewolf, Baby · the killer whale tank one on the box setVerdict: someone needs to make this playlist.Quotable Moments"It's not what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us. And that's just the best." — Dave from Montreal"Gord Downie sells the fuck out of this song. He sells the flakiness of the bear.

'Three Pistols' as an opener. Nobody in the Saddledome saw that coming, least of all the guy who'd spent the whole week camping.Episode summaryAugust 1st, 2016. The Scotiabank Saddledome. The Tragically Hip are working eastward, homebound to Kingston, and the Man Machine Poem Tour rolls into Calgary for the first of two nights. Ten years on, three people who were in that building sit down and tell jD what it actually felt like.Spencer from Calgary was at both Calgary shows, and two days before this one he woke up from an afternoon nap, found face-value seats for Edmonton five hours before downbeat, and drove up the highway without packing a bag. Paul from Lethbridge talked himself out of the on-sale entirely, spent a fortnight regretting it, then bought behind-the-stage seats on the secondary market and has never regretted that. Steve from Toronto is a cancer survivor. He brought his fiancee to her first proper Hip show and found two old friends sitting directly in front of him.They talk about the email nobody was ready for. They talk about decoding the album blocks in real time, and about 'World Container' surfacing for the first time since 2009 with Gord Downie working the teleprompter and grinning through a fumble. They talk about a concourse so packed you could not move, a merch line that looked like a family reunion, and a version of 'Grace, Too' that Spencer says he will never shake.Nobody here is claiming to be the expert. They were just in the room. This is the Calgary night, told back by the people who lived it.Key takeaways• Steve from Toronto is a cancer survivor, so the diagnosis email landed on him twice over. Once as a fan, once as somebody who already knew the vocabulary.• Spencer from Calgary got Edmonton tickets at face value five hours before showtime, drove up with no bag packed, sat down with a hot dog and a beer, and the band walked out thirty seconds later.• Paul from Lethbridge and his buddy Nick skipped the on-sale, realized their error about a fortnight later, and bought in behind the stage. Hundreds of shows between them and this one still tops the list.• 'The Kids Don't Get It' was a tour debut that night, and 'World Container' had not been played live since 2009 (source: setlist.fm). Paul clocked the second one in the moment.• All three describe the same night from three different seats, and none of them describe a party. The word Paul reaches for is communal. He lands on an upbeat church service.Quotes“It was like this is happening to my friend Gord, which is a weird feeling to feel about someone that you've never known.”Paul from Lethbridge [MM:SS]“I used to complain that they didn't mix things up enough. I would do anything right now to get the most basic paint by numbers Tragically Hip set list if it meant being able to see that band one more time.”Steve from Toronto [MM:SS]Guest information• Spencer from Calgary - both Calgary nights plus an unplanned Edmonton run. Took his sister and his brother. Still the only concert the three of them have been to together.• Paul from Lethbridge - bought late, behind the stage, no regrets. Went with Nick, his concert guy. 'World Container' is a top-five song for him and he had never heard it live.• Steve from Toronto - cancer survivor. Five shows on the tour, Kingston included. Calgary was his now-wife's first proper Hip show.Resources, links and references• setlist.fm - the full Calgary, August 1 2016 setlist, including the 'The Kids Don't Get It' tour debut and the 'World Container' return.

[hyperlink: Buy jD a coffee - buymeacoffee.com/tthtop40]Closing paragraphSpencer, thank you for the Edmonton story, which is the single best piece of dumb luck anyone has brought to this series so far. Paul, thank you for 'World Container' and for the phrase upbeat church service, which is the closest anybody has come to naming what those rooms felt like. Steve, thank you for Jay. Spending the last two hours of a friendship at a Hip show is not nothing, and neither is saying so out loud.jD spent most of that summer in a psychiatric hospital and missed the tour entirely, which is a fair part of why this show exists at all. Ten years later the record gets built out of other people's memories. So there's that.Come back in two days for Calgary, August 3 2016.

Episode DescriptionTen years to the day, JD travels back to July 30, 2016 and the second of two Edmonton nights on the Man Machine Poem Tour. He's joined by two Edmontonians who were in the building — Kirsten and Chris — for a conversation about scalped tickets and Ticketmaster nightmares, the last concert ever held in Rexall Place, a set list that dug deeper than anyone expected, and the two encores that sent a city home in pieces.It's a night of firsts and lasts: 'Scared' heard live for the first time and the last time in the same breath, a room full of strangers crying through 'Courage,' and a final 'Bobcaygeon' with the whole barn lit up. Fair warning — the waterworks come up more than once.Around the TableJD — host, Your Hipster's Reflections from the Final TourKirsten (Edmonton) — roughly 20 Hip shows deep; attended both Edmonton nights and Calgary night one. First saw the band on the third Another Roadside Attraction tour.Chris (Edmonton) — about half a dozen shows, going back to an Up to Here–era gig at the old Edmonton Convention Centre. Brought his brother to night two.In This EpisodeThe Icebreaker: One Song That Puts You Back in the RoomKirsten picks "Scared" — she was up in the stands when the lights came down and the neon tubes took over. The song and the staging landed at exactly the right moment.Chris picks "Ahead by a Century," and explains why the line "disappointing news getting me down" hit like a freight train that night. He also names "Scared" as a shock — a deep cut he had never heard live and never expected to.A running theme starts here: how far into the catalogue the band was willing to reach on this tour.Hearing the News, and the Fight for TicketsKirsten on the diagnosis: devastating, and immediately followed by a desperate need to be in the room to honour the band.Her Ticketmaster ordeal — bounced three separate times — and a side story about how organizing an unplugged Headstones gig for a Pledge Music drive led to a friendship with Courtney, from the Hip's management side. Shout out to Courtney for the patience and the eventual tickets to Edmonton night one and Calgary night one.Chris rewinds much further: his first Hip show at the old Shaw/Edmonton Convention Centre, when his buddy won the last pair of tickets on the radio and took someone else. Chris went down anyway, watched people offer $200 for a $20 ticket, walked back toward the LRT station, and got face value from the fifteenth person he asked.The beer jug legend — paying a bouncer $20 to work the beer gardens, selling jugs at a markup, and Gord reaching down, taking a swig from Chris's jug, and hurling it into the crowd.The Fully Completely tour show he almost missed: hungover off a flight home from Mexico, picked up at the airport by his dad, who happened to have tickets. They caught it from about song four.For the final tour, a coworker — Kathy Thompson, ticket savant — tipped him off about the presale three days early. He landed what he calls the worst seats of his life and has never been happier about bad seats.Who They Went WithKirsten took her friend Natasha to night two, up in section 201; she had been on the floor for night one with her now-wife, who had never seen the Hip before.Seeing the tour from two different vantage points meant two different shows — and from the upper level she could suddenly see the teleprompters on stage.Chris invited both of the buddies from that very first show — one in Victoria, one living in France — and both had to bow out. His brother got the ticket, and the two of them have a lot of Hip history together.The Set ListOpens with "Blow at High Dough."Chris on the run of Courage / At the Hundredth Meridian / Wheat Kings / Fifty Mission Cap — four of his all-time favourites back to back. He told his brother he could have walked out happy right there.The deep-album slot that night: We Are the Same. Kirsten singles out "Now the Struggle Has a Name" — she still remembers the notes Gord hit — and talks about the mood of "Coffee Girl" and "Morning Moon."Chris is candid that the later records don't sit with him the way the early ones do, and names "An Inch an Hour" as the one that got away.Both were set-list watching night to night, trying to guess which album would get pulled next — and Kirsten notes what it meant for Gord to rotate the set at all, given how well known his struggles with lyrics were (see: "Cordelia" quietly disappearing from set lists for years).The EncoresEncore 1: Greasy Jungle → Scared → Grace, TooEncore 2: Fireworks → BobcaygeonKirsten on closing with "Bobcaygeon" instead of the usual barn-burner — phones and lighters up across the building, and Gord taking long moments to look out and take it in.Chris connects the "checkerboard floors" line to the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, and reads the closer as the band pointing back at where they started. He still goes to the Horseshoe every time he's in Toronto.Gord on StageThe eye contact — a recurring observation across this series. Kirsten notes Gord historically avoided looking at people because singing faces threw him off, and that on this tour the fourth wall came down.Her impression of him off stage from a brief meeting: quiet, soft-spoken, very funny, extremely thoughtful.Chris was struck by how minimalist the production was — no big screens, just five guys, a silver suit, the feather hat and the Jaws shirt.The honest part: Gord was visibly struggling in places, missing notes, with the band filling the gaps — and getting noticeably stronger night over night. Kirsten describes a collective will from the crowd pushing him through.The Last Night in the BarnThis was the final concert at Rexall Place / Northlands Coliseum before the move to Rogers Place — so the night carried a second goodbye.Chris and his brother started at the Vinyl Needle downtown (dinner, beers, and a Hip tribute band playing to a very envious crowd), then rode the LRT through pouring rain.Walking into a building he had been going to since 1980 and finding it stripped and sterile — memorabilia pulled down, replaced with deep-cut oddities like an old Edmonton Drillers photo.Kirsten on saying goodbye to a venue where she had seen Oilers playoffs, countless bands, and the Hip many times over.When It Hit"Courage." Chris looked left, looked right, looked down, looked at his brother — everyone was crying. First time he had ever cried at a concert.Kirsten describes it coming in waves, every night, over and over: this is it, this is the final tour.Chris screaming himself hoarse for one more encore — and getting it.Walking out: heavy, but joyful. The same line over and over on the way to the train — "I can't believe I was here."August 20: The CBC National BroadcastKirsten missed it live — Edmonton Fringe obligations with her wife — caught what she could on CBC Radio in the car, then watched her recording that night and lost it.Her take on Gord's address to Trudeau and the reconciliation focus of his final chapter, and on the optimism she thinks the country still needs.Chris hosted a house party for 15 or so, most of them less invested than he was, and had to explain to a room of nieces and nephews why Uncle Chris was crying on the couch.Both reflect on the outdoor watch parties across the country — and Chris floats the idea of doing one for the 10th anniversary.What They'd Tell Someone Who Wasn't ThereChris on the Hip as Canadiana nobody else has matched — the loon call in "Wheat Kings," getting away with naming an album Road Apples, the reflexive "Jacques Cartier, right this way" he and his buddy blurted out at a statue in France — and on being unabashedly proud to be Canadian.Kirsten remembers a spotlit banner behind the stage reading "Canada Loves the Hip," and lands on the privilege of witnessing it: great musicianship, great ambassadors, good people making good art.Notable Quotes“He didn't just sing it. He poured everything into that lyric — the only way he can.” — Chris, on "Ahead by a Century"“I was in the building. And that was what was important. I don't think I've ever been so happy to get such crappy tickets in my life.” — Chris“You just kind of willing him. There was a collective will, just like — you can do this.” — Kirsten“I looked to my left, looked to my right, looked down, and then I looked at my brother, and everybody was crying.” — Chris, on "Courage"“It came in waves. Each night it would come in waves — this is it. This is the final tour.” — Kirsten“I can't believe I was here. That was the thing we kept hearing over and over again as we got on the train.” — Chris“To be a witness of such great musicianship, such great ambassadors to Canada. Just good people doing good art.” — KirstenMentioned in This EpisodeVenues: Rexall Place / Northlands Coliseum · Rogers Place · Edmonton (Shaw) Convention Centre · the Vinyl Needle · the Horseshoe Tavern, Toronto · K-Rock Centre, KingstonSongs: Blow at High Dough · Courage · At the Hundredth Meridian · Wheat Kings · Fifty Mission Cap · Now the Struggle Has a Name · Coffee Girl · Morning Moon · New Orleans Is Sinking · Cordelia · An Inch an Hour · Greasy Jungle · Scared · Grace, Too · Fireworks · Bobcaygeon · Ahead by a CenturyAlbums & tours: Up to Here · Road Apples · Fully Completely · Live Between Us · Music @ Work · We Are the Same · Man Machine Poem · Another Roadside AttractionPeople: Gord Downie · Paul, Rob, Gord Sinclair and Johnny Fay · Courtney (Hip management) · Kathy Thompson · the Headstones · Robert Plant & Alison Krauss at the Edmonton Folk Music FestivalPlugs & Next TimeKirsten and Chris both used their plug on this podcast.

Welcome back to the Ern and Iso Podcast!In this episode, the duo dives into the phenomenon that has become "Streaming University" and breaks down how Kai Cenat and the new generation of creators are changing the entertainment industry. Ern and Iso discuss the power of collaboration, why today's biggest streamers are building together instead of competing against one another, and what traditional media can learn from their success.The conversation then shifts back to hip hop as Iso gives his thoughts on the recent back-and-forth involving 38 Speshand Jadakiss. Is it wrong for an artist to believe they had the better verse? Has hip hop lost some of the competitive spirit that made the culture what it is? The duo weighs in on confidence, legacy, fan perception, and how these debates continue to shape the genre.As always, the conversation goes beyond the headlines with honest opinions, plenty of laughs, and real discussion.Topics Include:
