Interview with Gray Toney

It's News of The World Time, Part Deux, once again with my co-host for this week, my good buddy Fred! He's joining me at my lovely apartment to discuss some things we heard and saw in the news into the new year, but the main feature that this show winds up being about is my ongoing war with the drive thrus of McDonald's, and one specific store in my local area that gave me the most hellish time ever completing a mobile app order. A ridiculous waste of time, or a ridiculous premise for a show - YOU DECIDE. Thanks for listening, and if you were expecting a big blockbuster 50th episode, you've come to the wrong place. That episode airs in two weeks. You are welcome.

Silence is acceptance That's a powerful statement and one that is made towards the end of the interview with my guest Marion Frame, making her Part II return after being unable to participate in the following week of her last airing interview due to some illness and some personal crisis. She is back, and she's got a lot to say as this interview takes on a decidedly dark turn from the origins of her family name, to some disturbing times in her family history found through tracing back her roots. It's a unique journey and I am proud to bring it to you. Thanks Marion for being so open and honest. If you are struggling with or know someone who is in your family or circle friends who is a victim of abuse - talk about it. There are services out there to help and you can remain anonymous. Silence is acceptance. Consult the services available in your area today, don't wait until it's too late.

Shawna 'Dual Citizenship' Robinson is pretty cool - she's toured so many different places and so many wonderful and unique experiences and done it all at a young age. Puts me to shame. Luckily, I am still pretty young too..... On another note, we of course discuss her travels, how she was bitten by the travel bug (the good kind!), from a planned school trip to travelling on her own, where she has been and where she plans to be going. We talk about what life was like for her living in Copenhagen, Denmark for awhile on a student visa, how security and safety awareness has changed in recent times during terrorist attacks in many countries, her visit to the Canadian soldiers grave site at the beaches of Normandy, and also we discuss where she plans to settle down and work in the future. I'll give you a hint: it's not Canada! Plus, you also may have her to hold responsible for your bus schedule in the near future.  Take a journey on this podcast interview, thank you Shawna for being a sport and entertaining me and all the listeners for the next hour.

Denise is my extremely unpaid agent who does a lot for my podcast behind the scenes and sometimes on the scene itself, and her importance to my little podcast cannot be denied. So here is her payment: an(other) episode all to herself! She's all over this episode and it shows, intro, outro, and all! She fills me in what her substitute vacation plans were, how the hurricane affected her friends and family down in the southern states, and what she plans to do to make up for her 2nd missed trip (will she even make new plans with me ever again??) Join me for this light-hearted episode, and you heard it here: she promises more unique guests to come! Also, find out what SNW means. It's not worth the wait but listen for it anyway PS: Denise hates reading...she loves cheese...

For the second straight episode in as many weeks, I'm doing an episode based around a tribute to a fallen musical hero of mine, and this one is Canadian music legend Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip. Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2015, the band embarked on a final tour in 2016 as a goodbye and thank you to the friends and fans of the band across Canada, the last show from their hometown of Kingston Ontario Canada was broadcast live on the CBC network for all to see and live through. I was not fortunate to catch them on this tour or any others, but the music lives on in my mind and in my heart. You are Canadian. You love the Tragically Hip. End of story. Mr. Music Kevin Ganley of course joins me again to express his thoughts and love of the band, as we did with Tom Petty the week prior. Please, leave our musicians on Earth. We are still enjoying them! Take this time and thank your family and loved ones. Nothing is promised, especially our tomorrows

Marion Frame is enjoying the nature walks in the beautiful unencumbered trails of the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, Canada, and when she is not doing that, she is running the local bank, and when she is not doing that she's helping organize donation and relief efforts to the many people who lost their homes and were affected by the massive brush fire that took apart the city of Fort McMurray in Alberta in 2016, and when she's not doing that she's enjoying a peaceful and quiet existence in the little town of Medicine Hat, Alberta, and when she's not doing that...well she's busy telling me all about those aforementioned items on this week's podcast episode. So we discuss all of this and her absolute hate for the conglomerate known as Walmart, as well as staying safe while walking unpatrolled and unmarked trails in the mountains. Sounds like a good episode? Good stuff. Because this is only Part 1.... Also we kick off this week's episode with a call to Mr. Music Kevin Ganley and we share some thoughts on the recent sudden passing of the legendary Tom Petty, and how much his music meant to the world. This episode is jam packed, I hope you enjoy it!

If you ever wanted a history lesson or a behind the scenes look at Starbucks and how it really works, listening to this podcast episode with the return of Rachel O'Byrne will give you that fix you need. She's happy in her new job as a smiling, and never grumpy or tired Starbucks barista, and she shares some  stories and what her experiences have been like working at her local cafe so far. She also talks about a new edition to her family, and her new found happiness after over coming some personal upheavals in a previous personal relationship. This time, we got to talk for a full hour or so, and I promise, no dropped phone calls. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that this was a phone interview again! So that means that this interview was basically recorded live and inputted right into this episode with editing, so what you hear is what you heard! Right?

It's experiment time! This week's podcast is me checking in with some of my former guests, via telephone! Some of the people that I reached out to were not available right this very Monday as I decided that this would be this week's episode this very morning. But I found 3 former guests with absolutely nothing better to do on a Monday morning and I tested out my calling recording software via Callture and had them call me to give me a quick update on how their lives have been going since I last talked to them. So bear with me as I try this call to call podcast approach. It's a work in process, just like the Nobodies Are Somebodies podcast. The one common theme here? Each person is happily starting a new career or venture and their lives are nothing but positive these days it seems, and that is a good thing. Also, yes to answer your burning question, one of these check in calls was with my good buddy Fred!!

Life happens. Everything happens for a reason. What is the reason and what makes it happen. YOLO Questions that I can't answer that happen everyday to everybody, and we all deal with it in different ways. My family went through a bit of a crisis and a medical emergency 2 weeks ago over the Labor Day weekend. I'm sharing some of that story with you all now. Some things I won't be able to share now, but take this episode as a small window into my world.  Also, because I like to lighten up situations, I have a rant about my local McDonald's that I needed to get off my chest. I mean, why not right?? Thank you for listening.

Talking to Nancy about her community involvements, from taking studies for a career in social work to working at the local food bank and discussing the services that they offer as well as talking about some of her experiences working with persons in need. We then move on to talk about stories that her parents have shared with her on how they immigrated (fled) to Canada from Vietnam by way of Indonesia during the mid-1980s and what life was like when travelling by boat to a foreign land to a safer place. She also shares how her parents met during this time. She uses the term 'boat people' and we talk about what that really means in this situation. Nancy also shares stories that her grandmother has told her about life in Vietnam during the infamous war in the 1960s, and how the country was before and how it had changed forever after the war. And finally, we take on the hot topic of Nancy checking out this podcast for the first time to get a feel for it - which episode was her favorite??? I hope you enjoy this episode, Nancy spoke of a lot of topics that really interested me as a fan of history and historical time periods. I hope you get some great insight from her conversation as I did. And remember - Donate to your local food bank today - everything we do helps!

Dayton goes through his whole life story from the age of 4 up until present, and since it's the first time that he's ever tracked his own story, we jump around a bit but it still flows quite naturally. We discuss his strained relationship with his father and growing up in an interesting family dynamic. From there we move on to his life as it is now, from meeting the love of his life to proposing to her...but what happens between point A to B is rather comical. That's a compliment, Dayton. This episode was recorded outdoors while Dayton was at work, so there may be some exterior noises that creep up into the conversation and we are also forced to stop/start the chat a few times as he interacts with customers. So for the first time in [his] life, we present...Dayton...this is your life!

The news of the world that we live in today can range from the outlandish to the out-of-handish, and everything in between. This episode of the podcast was recorded in the studio on Wednesday August 16th, 2017, and as you can tell, it's not exactly breaking news. It's a random idea from two random guys, as finally my good buddy Fred arrives at the studio and helps me read the newspaper headlines (online and in print) that grab our attention, and stay tuned to hear the whole conversation descend into a totally useless debate about what a 'truly' selfie is. Grab your popcorn, because what we are presenting is a light-hearted (see - please don't take this week's episode too seriously) glance at the news today, sourcing info starting from our local Ottawa papers to the BBC, CNN, LA Times and more, just to give you 40 minutes spent that you will never get back! Enjoy this Special - The News of the World on the Nobodies Are Somebodies podcast. This has been Chad Vice, good night...

Spina bifida is a birth defect where there is incomplete closing of the backbone and membranes around the spinal cord. Mary Villenueve lives with a physical disability every day of her life, but what's more telling is people who interact with her a more concerned with their own biases towards people with PDs than actually trying to educate themselves on what a persons challenges are. Mary tells stories of complete strangers offering to help her out, but the types of help they are providing are more harmful than good. She also talks about her life growing up and being raised the same as her brothers, which played a big role in maintaining her confidence that she now shares, and she credits her parents big time for this. She also mentions her supportive husband, and my former guest Eric. V a time or two. Thank you to Mary. V for being candid and honest and educating about your disabilities, and how you turn them into different abilities.

Mitchell Chestnut don't break no rules, and he's got a story to back that claim up. I'm glad to have Mitch back in the studio for a follow-up chat, as when I last spoke to him, we discussed the passing of his mom, then 8 months fresh in his mind. Now, 1 year removed from her passing, Mitchell talks about what drives him now, his career and career goals, his education and future endeavors in Policing. We talk about the process to apply to be a Canadian Border Services Agent. Later on, We are also (rudely?) interrupted in the studio by two of my former guests stopping by to say hello and steal Mr. Chestnut away to gamble his money away at the local casino. It's a quick but interesting talk with Mitchell; thanks for actually coming back on the show! It's also to be noted that this episode was to feature the unique stylings of my partner in crime, my good buddy Fred who was slated to co-host this episode, alas he had to bail out on me at the very last second. Curses! Maybe another time, then...

I swear, the 'Marie' names in this series are coincidental only, and not some sort of cheap gimmick... dot com! Can one night change your life, even if you aren't a part of it? My interview with Sydney Marie, is one I'm very happy to have to bring to all the listeners. I'm super proud of her and I am excited for her story to be heard. I pretty much based this whole episode around her (one) story because I felt that it just needed to get out there, to be heard, and it was something that could stand on it's own. Of course there's much more to Sydney Marie than just 1 night that started a chain of events that took her nearly 10 years to recover from - and never really, as it's forever changed her and her family's lives; but she's a stronger person for it, and now she knows who she can really count on. Recorded in Toronto on The Esplande, my final (for now) interview in this 'Nobodies in Toronto' series also ends the long month of July, and what a month of guests! Here's to more. Thank you Sydney and thank you to all the listeners out there and to my former guests. Keep it coming!!

Welcome to the first part in the 'Nobodies in Toronto' series , and here is my first guest that I interviewed within the (barely) first hour of arriving at my temporary surrogate condo building apartment in the beautiful city of Toronto. Danielle Marie talks about managing and running a seniors retirement home facility, basically on her own shoulders, and all the challenges and rewards that come with that. She also discusses what she does in her personal time, what's left of it anyway, as well as her 'love' for the King, Elvis Presley! She then dishes on what a novice to Toronto should enjoy about the city. It's part 1 of this special series, thank you Danielle for fitting this podcast somewhere in your stacked schedule.

How much did you ever want to know about Chad Vice? His childhood fantasies, his favorite music, movies, interests, and why he started doing business online? What was the one instant that triggered his sudden but now growing love affair with online commerce and later, podcasting? Denise 'Niagara Falls' Hawken gets down to the line and asks the tough questions, but is Chad man enough to answer them all? Find out, and so much more (maybe) on this, the 25th 'anniversary' episode of the Nobodies Are Somebodies podcast. It's so big, that Chad himself could not even host it! Big thanks to Denise for being the host with the most. But maybe she should try watching that Beetlejuice movie someday??

Finally, it;'s here. It's recorded and it's ready for consumption; it's the final installment interview with my mom, the story-telling machine Mommy Vice, I finally get her one on one again for part 3 of 3, and this is an interesting and definitely dark conversation - it starts off discussing her current frame of mind and her expression of frustration over her current living arrangements and social status. From here, we pick up this discussion in the year 1990, where she meets my would-be step-father, Bruce, and she also talks about their troubled relationship spanning over a 13 year period. We then talk about a very difficult year in 2004 as she deals with the deaths of not one, not two, but three family members in that same year. We also touch another difficult experience with her occurring in the summer of 1992. My Mommy also discusses meeting someone online on Zoosk and moving her whole life away to be with this man, her first and only time meeting a man on the internet. And finally, we end our eye opening talk on a positive note as I thank her for the interviews, the sharing, and for putting her life out there for the world to hear. I think the world who listens will find something to enjoy and something unique to hear; Her motto: I believe! Thanks Mommy!!

This is the life of Chantal Venne, new to podcasting, both as a guest and actual listener, and she is talking about her life for the first time EVER anywhere to anyone with a microphone and a purpose, like me! What happens after school, stays after school...but not really! Chantal talks about her career as an Outreach Coordinator who schedules fundraising events after school to raise money for different events, etc. We also talk about her love for Hawaii and the reason why she loves it so. She's a bit nervous being interviewed for the first time, but with Chad Vice's natural charm, we cut right through that quick. So, here's a fellow Ottawa Valley child; here is Chantal "Don't Miss-pronounce My Last Name" Venne!

Welcome to part 2 of my interview with Naz, and we pick up right where the last one left off, literally I mean in mid conversation because my editing skills were lacking that day! He has a very direct and methodical way of speaking, putting me Chad Vice to shame. This was an episode that I waited to get for quite a while for various reasons, but it is worth the wait, it's what this podcast is all about: Great conversation and getting to know people. So get to know Naz better and enjoy the final part of this interview. Also, gamble smart. Naz will tell you how!

An educational episode to learn by. Getting some culture and a bit of history, with a dash of politics and war topics thrown in for good measure! This week's episode is my friendly giant known as 'Naz' Nazir Chamas, and he's got some interesting views on life and he shares all. This will be a special two-parter as one episode simply could not hold this man. We kick it off with the history of the hookah pipe and break in the middle of law enforcement in his native Dubai vs. the law enforcement of officers North America, how they differ and some of his experiences with both. Classy!
