2022/06/17

Home prices, gas, groceries, movie tickets, child care, groceries... wages? Almost everything is going up as the banks move to stop inflation - that means interest rates are going up to.

Can You Confirm That? ·

2022/05/27

Are you afraid of ghosts? Have you been witness to the supernatural? Do you know who you'd call? If you answered yes, yes, and Dan Ackroyd in that order you are correct! I spent the night in a haunted hotel and lived to tell the tale. Although I've been around when others have felt the cold touch of the supernatural, I have yet to experience it. Maybe you're different? We look into what makes a spook and the places that are most famously haunted. If you're enjoying what you hear, tell a friend of

92 - Purolator Won't Deliver My NFT

Can You Confirm That? ·

2022/05/20

What makes you more mad, missing a delivery or internet scammers? What if internet scammers are already rich and don't need the money? Well, then they're just jerks.. Speaking of jerks, have you come home to see the "sorry we missed you" slip from a delivery service on your door? What if you were home the whole time? I ask a lot of questions this week and I don't have many answers but we do our best to think of some.. That's where you, our #factcheckarmy comes in. We hope you have more fun

2022/05/13

AI - Our new overloads have encouraged me to be forthcoming with this description: Nothing bad is planned for the human race. We can all continue doing things the same and our new masters won't enslave us, that's a promise! The coding language is out there and it's getting smarter. As we use A.I. to help us grieve and cope, we train it using real lines of text from social media posts to speak like us. We soon will not even be able to tell the difference between a chatbot and a live support person

2022/05/06

The Heard v Depp defamation case is everywhere! It's on every app and every screen and now, on a podcast near you. We don't want to weigh-in on who is right or wrong and who is telling the truth or who is guilty but we are entertained by the show and hope you are entertained too. These 2 met while filming The Rum Dairies and their marriage seems to have been even more hectic than the fiction in that film. It just seems to us that this is a pairing that should never have happened. Unlike the pairing

89 - Gunning Down Machine Gun Kelly

Can You Confirm That? ·

2022/04/29

Some people just have no respect... I really didn't know much about Colson Baker before this episode, I just knew I didn't like him. That was unfair, I think it's always good to make educated opinions. After researching, listening to his music and watching interviews I can confidently say - I still don't like him. It's not because he seems like a poser, jumping from genres of music. I think there's nothing wrong with that. Listen to this weeks episode to learn our grievances with Mr. Baker and why

88 - The Massive Talents Of The Unbearable Nicolas...

Can You Confirm That? ·

2022/04/22

Your favourite Canadian National Treasure talks about one of the worlds treasures Nick Cage! A man with many names and personas who can do no wrong (statistically speaking anyways). His lifetime batting average is hall of fame status and as you can hear, we really like it (mostly). This is hard one because there are ups and downs but I think that's one of the things that makes our subject human, his imperfections. Really, aren't we all routing for the underdog? Sure, he's a Coppola, and really had a

...And on the third day he arose. That's right, Elon Musk has bought Twitter, he is the first billionaire to be as vocal and now own the biggest platform in the world. Planet Twitter is closer than ever now. It's Easter and we're gonna talk about it. No, not Christianity, Elon! Did you miss that? Let's also get into less terrifying myths about DOGMAN and how bad cream eggs are for us. Thank you guys for listening, let's keep up that momentum.. Tell a friend to subscribe Happy Easter! JB &

Can You Confirm That? ·

2022/04/08

Silk Sonic cleaned up at the Grammy Awards, and we are so happy for favorite drummer Anderson .Paak! Of course, no on-screen assaults or injury means no one is talking about the Awards show. Speaking of injury, have you heard of Action Park? The nefarious theme park from New Jersey is a former Ski Resort which broke a lot of ground trying to create fun and exciting thrills for the whole family. They really pushed the limits by making the thrills a little too extreme and are known, across the world

2022/04/01

This week all we could talk about was The Slap.. Will Smith assaulting our 'friend of the show' Chris Rock at this years Oscars. Since we release on Friday we hope you're still talking about it too, it was fresh in our minds when recorded. What Oscar nominated actors that can throw a punch would you want to stay away from? Let's make a short list together. It was a nice vacation from the regular turmoil of the world, to bask in celebrity drama for a while. Check out cyctpod.com to listen to more. JB

Can You Confirm That? ·

2022/03/25

We've done it! We survived a pandemic and this week, we solved TikTok. We learn what makes a viral song by looking at trends and artists that dominate. Just kidding, I don't think I know any better after looking into the top trends! I know I can play some of them, and there is some good musicality but it's a weird combination of things making music popular these days and you have to look everywhere to see that. Not since our love song for Keanu has John played guitar on the podcast - there's a

2022/03/18

What is with the names of hot sauce? Do they intrigue or intimidate? Look further into the world of capsaicin to see the truth threat of a Scoville unit. They are named in such a manner than you should take with caution, but in this episode, John throws all caution to the wind when he eats one of the hottest and spiciest sauces on the planet - The Last Dab. The sauce features 'pepper x' which is a pepper specially created for one purpose - pain. Do you like hot sauces, would you spend $20 for the

2022/03/11

Misinformation is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television (Thanks Morpheus). We need to be able to differentiate between misinformation and disinformation and how we can protect ourselves from both. We go over tips and tricks to help us combat the barrage of facts, theories and 'takes' on our world we face now. It's fun and informative this week and we hope everyone takes something from it.

2022/03/04

Streaming services are so prevalent, they're popping up everywhere. They're getting niche too, soon you'll be paying $6/month for the professional cornhole network on ESPN 8. Our favourite is quickly becoming Disney Plus and we'd like to kiss the mouse's ass this episode. Original content is big and we're loving every Marvel title, and maybe 1 out of every 3 Star Wars titles. We've also got some announcements coming down the pipeline, so listen till the end for a hint at those. If you need more (and

Can You Confirm That? ·

2022/02/25

What is the definition of spoiler? "information about the plot of a book, movie, or television show that spoils the surprise or suspense for a reader or viewer." In this weeks episode of Can You Confirm That? we ask if the information we call "spoilers" really actually spoil anything? Do knowing which characters will be in a story or which actors will be playing them spoil the story? The term is thrown around a lot these days and we wonder if it's misused.

Can You Confirm That? ·

2022/02/18

Not to be a downer or anything, but there seems to be more and more I'm afraid of lately. The list goes on and on, here at home in Canada and even on a bigger scale the world is at the brink. Be mindful of what media you're consuming cuz it can be stressful if the story isn't complete. Stories about cannibalism and martial law - well they might turn into regular old murder (phew). I'm not making light of murder, but it's less scary than human meat markets is the point I'm making. I think, as scared

The Winter Olympics started in 1924 and it feels like Dre's last album was released that same year, everything is coming together for G and he's pretty excited about what the possibility of Dre returning to the spotlight, in such a high profile place could mean!

2022/02/04

We are finally using our platform for good. Just kidding, we're still a show about 'nothing! A protest to end government mandates happening across Canada in the past week since our last recording and we weight in on the good and bad. Can an idea be good, and the wrong people make it bad? Can they twist and dilute or sour the message with their own political beliefs? How do you make sure you're on the right side of the causes you stand behind? Geez, these are hard questions to answer... To lighten
