Welcome to Episode 10 of Nooks and Crannies! Fortifying Beeferoni, Big Pharma Eugenics, Nonplus Teens and Full Throated Endorsements ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: On this very special Tenth Anniversary Spectacular, Evan and Matt spend time talking about their poke checks and underhanded hockey moves..turns out Matty is a clean goon, aside from the Mike Tee encounter, sorry about that brother. We maintain the Canadian tradition of speaking ill of the weather (8:10), followed by Matty’s approach to “Fortifying” garbage processed foods like the indelible Beeferoni, following this Matt provides a “Full Throated” endorsement of Willows Pizza, the best pie outside of Naples (9:57) Hey folks, remember when you spit in that vile for fun and shipped it to a faceless corporation? Ya turns out that corporation was bought by a big pharmaceutical firm and you are now unwilling participants in a global epidemiological study with no compensation (14:57). After that cheery chat, we start plugging the heck out of other people’s shows: Issa Wurie of Fear and Desires had Matty on to talk all about insomnia, the episode is about Issa discovering his sleep apnea and how this has affected his life, this will be a highly regarded show at some point, extremely creative and I am really proud of your Brof! We also chatted about, the soon to be our show, Play Comics Podcast, formally hosted by the kindest most giving and generous podcaster around Chris Osborne (21:33), he recently had N&C own Paul Combs and P. Cosmo from Varmints on so be sure to give those a listen. Tell Chris; Nooks and Crannies are coming! (23:54) So Matty was recently listening to conservative AM talk radio in Victoria and there was this ad for this website. Honestly, no spoilers on this one but do plan on marking your calendar for Nooks and Crannies very own FB Live Stream Event!! Matt, the hottest guest in podcasting, Sanderson basically just gloats for like 5 mins about all the amazing shows that want to have him on (31:10) including; Pop Up Film Cast, Unapologetically Me: a Mental Health Podcast, and Submitted For your Approval: A Twilight Zone Podcast. (35:33) Evan fires off a recommendation of his own for the podcast Michael and Us, a Canadian podcast that revisits Michael Moore movies and others with a harshly lefty critique that enjoys slamming so-called ‘progressive liberalism’. Of course Evan loves these guys. We end the show with one more recommendation and some words of thanks for the compelling general conversation podcast Mouse and Weens, thanks Jo for the early support and kind words (37:19) Podcasts Mentioned Fears and Desires: by our brof and yours, Issa Wurie Play Comics Podcast: Our new podcast project we just gotta let Chris know first… Pop Up Film Cast: A comedic parody pod that offers hilariously fake movie reviews Unapologetically Me: A Mental Health Podcast, by Boomer Perrault aka best name in podcasts Submitted For your Approval: A Twilight Zone Podcast, its about the Twilight Zone… Michael and Us, a lefty retrospective movie review podcast, Evan also aged me horribly here.. Mouse and Weens, our first super fan, aside from Matt’s mom, gets a special shout out. Thanks Jo, really appreciated those messages while I was going through my insomnia, it was a good motivator to get back at it! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: N&C Links Archive of Episodes Topics and Lighthearted Complaints Watch Matty Fight on Social Ponder Evan’s Blurry Pictures Graphics by Donna Hume ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Our Condolences Lindsay
