Gutters, Porch Pirates, and $1,000 Moves
What if all it took to double your future savings was moving cities? Handy Andy Baryer joins Shane Hewitt for a practical (and funny) discussion on the financial case for relocation — and why so many people hesitate, even when the math makes sense.

Then the conversation turns from dollars to driveways: Andy drops winter maintenance tips that could save your gutters — and your wallet. Plus, what happened when a mysterious Amazon box appeared on his porch… and then vanished. This episode mixes financial strategy with hands-on advice for staying one step ahead of weather, waste, and thieves.

Should Kids Be Influencers — Or Is It Just Digital Child Labour?
From toy reviews to brand deals, kid influencers are big business. But should kids be allowed to profit from social media before they even understand it? Handy Andy Baryer joins Shane Hewitt to tackle the fast-growing kidfluencer economy, why the EU is cracking down, and whether Canada should follow suit.

They unpack the tension between creativity and exploitation, the blurred lines between play and paid content, and the real issue behind the trend: parenting. Plus, they debate a wild new use of AI — recreating lost loved ones as digital avatars. Comforting or creepy? Maybe both.
