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 wor...

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 r...

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 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.

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.

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?

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 sca...

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?

It's here, the end of 2021! It kind of flew by, with all the rolling closures we had in Ontario. 2021 also saw the roll out of information from the Pentagon regarding extra-terrestrial life and footage that can only be explained as unidentified.. Does this mean we are being slowly pushed into the idea that aliens are real? This podcast believes it does!

Squid Game! Does that catch your attention? Everyone in the world is talking about this show, but obviously we need to be a little different and talk about the Survival Drama genre that's doing so well coming out of South Korea lately. Maybe the screenwriters are more confident and have more faith in humanity, proving that we don't need a hero to find the heroic approach, humanity will get there, but the journey feels more morose that we are used to seeing in North American cinema, so lets get t...
