From witnessing childbirth to the surprising things we’ve officially sworn off, this weeks episode covered a lot of ground. Also, have we’ve reached our “quit things” age? Plus, a chat about how cannabis has gone from taboo to totally mainstream.

Marker 01

Jeff, KP, and Backstage Ben dive into the harsh reality; everybody has a podcast now - so what actually makes one worth listening to? Jeff breaks down his “laser vision” (it gets weird), and Ben casually reveals he’s the voice of a Vegas landmark.

We also get real about fears — like why heights still mess with grown adults — and how kids today are living a totally different, way more “squishy” life than we did.

Group Chat - Episode 10 - Thu May 21/2026

This weekend we slow things down — talking about the comeback of CD, vinyl, and even cassettes as more people look to unplug and enjoy music the old‑school way.

Then we jump into baby name trends, and things have taken a turn. While Liam and Olivia still top the charts, names like Maverick, Genesis, and Nova are climbing past traditional picks like Thomas, Sophie, and Grace. Meanwhile, newer names like Truce and Icelynn are surging as parents lean toward names that feel more unique and meaningful.

We also look at which classic names are fading out — and why naming trends are shifting so quickly right now.

Group Chat - Episode 8 - April 30/2026

Frozen grapes that missed the mark, pretzels making a surprise appearance, and a few questionable snack choices along the way. We also swap medical procedure stories because apparently that’s where the conversation naturally went.

Then we’re joined by Chris Costello, chair of the Big Bash - Ozdust Ball, in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of London and Area. He shares what’s planned for this year’s event happening May 29 at The Hunt Club and why it’s a night that makes a real difference in the community.

Fun, weird, meaningful. Pretty standard episode.
