This is a candid corona conversation with Scott Hall, comedian, and host of "The Scott Hall Podcast" and "The 69th Amendment." This is literally the first time we have spoken "in person" and thought it would be interesting to get the perspectives of a comedian about the pandemic.
I didn't know his status, his politics, etc...just 2 cool dudes, living on different sides of the border, shooting the shit about the state of our countries and personal experiences. Topics include mandates, Trump vs Biden, vaccination, Australia, how we're treating one another, and of course, comedy!!
Check out his podcasts, and subscribe...they're awesome.

This is a candid conversation between 2 former radio announcers (Tom Schoch and your host, Jason "J-man Petrunik) that spent about 2 decades in the radio biz, who also worked in major markets.
Inside, we share some lies about the industry, talk about crazy moments, biggest songs, radio myths, the industry past/present, and we settle the best Candian band debate between The Tragically Hip and Nickelback
This show is a lil bit different, and I like it... I believe YOU will too.

Mark Meinke is a Canadian Veteran who suffers from PTSD. He's taken the affliction, owned it, and now educates others on how they can deal with their demons. This is done via his podcast which is dedicated to PTSD recovery, "Operation Tango Romeo." In this podcast, we discuss dealing with PTSD, coping mechanisms, alternative therapies, how to help those suffering from PTSD, and identifying if PTSD is something you're subconsciously dealing with or potentially, someone else around you.
Let's start "Healing Out Loud!"

In this podcast, I tackle the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict and the scenarios surrounding it. This is just my take on what I saw as a pretty straight-up case.
This wasn't a trial of whether or not Kyle should have been there that night, he was. It was a trial of, did Kyle have the right to defend himself, even if deadly force was necessary.

This podcast is a follow-up with my friend Kevin Street. This past spring, he ended up being one of the unfortunate few who were injured by vaccine. His experience has been a difficult one, in finding the proper people/resources to help him through his illness. Hence a revisit to "Kevin's Story."
Kevin and I thought it would be a great idea to have another conversation, focusing more on the emotional trauma that people in similar positions might be in because mental health is a huge problem for individuals in his scenario.
Kevin also offers some suggestions on how to cut down the wait times in getting proper medical attention...and of course, how Kevin is fairing after becoming somewhat accustomed to living with this injury.
There's hope.

You may have seen Jody on her viral Instagram video at Eaton Centre where she refused to leave the food court when asked to leave because she didn't have a vaccine passport, nor was she wearing a mask. That video on Instagram alone has garnered 300 000 views. It's been all over the world, on multiple platforms, and it thrust her into a position of influence, to where now she's become a full-fledged freedom fighter.
In this podcast, we discuss some legal routes (not legal advice) on how to navigate these mandates, which according to her, and the Canadian Charter, are unjust. Topics include Jab vs Job, masks, freedom of movement, proper procedures when being prejudiced, as well as what NOT to do...you're on the right side of the law until you're not.
If you're afraid, alone, angry, lost, or sad, I believe this podcast, will give you HOPE! It's 60 minutes of Jody and me, talking mandates, and how to man up to them, and win.

In this podcast, and in no particular order, we're going to talk about the different densities that surround us, the pyramids, chemtrails, bigfoot, alien(s) and encounters, ancient civilizations, and I finally dive into the reptilian conversation. For me, some of this is new, some not so much...and some just blows my mind. Take a listen for yourself and decide, "conspiracy fact or fiction."
