Up For Discussion

For the seventh instalment of our Munch Madness food series, Tom calls up Quincy Narine, a Montreal-based chef & YouTuber, to talk about Cooking In Quarantine, finding fun ways to use up pantry staples, and the importance of finding ways to cook with limited space and equipment. Also, Tom and David catch up about how the quarantine is effecting their gut health & mental health, the challenges of eating a varied diet under lockdown, and adapting to sudden shared space & disrupted routines. And, of course, we find out the winners of the Semi-Finals of our tournament bracket. Tune in next week for the grand finale! Check out Khaos at www.createkhaos.com or on Instagram @createkhaos!

For the sixth instalment of our Munch Madness food series, Tom calls up Rachel James (@rairaiku on Instagram), a Montreal-based chef who's been working with the Joe Beef group at their wine bar, Vin Papillon, for a great chat about her journey as a chef, her love of fermentation, and the importance of a holistic approach in the kitchen. We also talk about the reality & challenges of being a cook at a time when lots of restaurants are closing down and laying off their staff. Also, Tom and Kate reflect on quarantine life and try to find some silver linings to all the social distancing. Check out Khaos at www.createkhaos.com or on Instagram @createkhaos!

For the fifth instalment of our Munch Madness food series, we had a slight change of plans, due to, you know, the global pandemic and whatnot. Tom, alone in the studio, calls up Kate, Jeremiah, and Adrianne, to pick their brains about how this quarantine has effected their eating habits, what they're all doing to stay afloat, and to wish Adrianne the best while she moves back to Chicago. And, of course, this being Munch Madness, we vote to decide who goes forward into the Semi-Finals! Check out Khaos at www.createkhaos.com or on Instagram @createkhaos!

For the fourth instalment of our Munch Madness series, we sat down with longtime friend of the show Billy Eff (@billyefflechef) for a great chat about everything that comes with being a sommelier- the history, the emotional connections, and the challenge of finding the right wine for each client. Then, we dig into ways to find a good balance between making the art you want to make and making the art you'll actually get paid for. Finally, we pick the winners of rounds 7 & 8 of our tournament bracket, deciding on our quarter-finalists! Check out Khaos at www.createkhaos.com or on Instagram @createkhaos!

For the third instalment of our Munch Madness series, we called up Gabrielle Samek to learn about her new project The Food Dorks, where she puts on fancy themed dinners once a month in Toronto, the unique challenge of adapting a historical recipe for a modern palate, and how to eat local ingredients! Follow her on Instagram @lesfooddorks to find out where & when to get involved! Then, we talk about things we like to make from scratch instead of spending money on them, and argue about what food is best: beef, or basil- yes, this is a real conversation we had to have. What even is happening anymore. Check out Khaos at www.createkhaos.com or on Instagram @createkhaos!

CW: We talk a bit about workplace sexual harassment in this episode. If that's something you don't want to hear about, you can skip it! It lasts from around the 11 minute mark until 15 minutes or so. For the second instalment of our Munch Madness series, we sat down with friend of the show Brynn to hear about her experience working in kitchens for the better part of a decade, the challenges of being a young, female-presenting person in a male-dominated industry. Then, we talk about what we'd do if we could open our own idyllic small-town cafes & bakeries. Finally, we argue about chicken, pizza, pasta, and salad, to decide which 2 will move on to the next round of our food bracket! Check out Khaos at www.createkhaos.com or on Instagram @createkhaos!

Montreal (allegedly) has the second highest number of restaurants per capita in North America. For the first instalment of our new food series, we sat down with JP Karwacki, the Editor of Time Out Montreal, to learn all about Time Out Market- essentially a food court on steroids, with a goal of highlighting & showcasing the best that the city has to offer! He breaks down the curation process and details some of the offerings you can find there, then, we talk about fad diets, veganism, and the benefits of farm-to-table. Finally, we decide on the winners of the first two rounds of our Munch Madness tournament! Want to have your voice heard for the next round?

It's Up For Discussion AFTER DARK- because a lightbulb burnt out in the studio and we hadn't replaced it yet by the time this recording happened!

Tom, Adrianne, and former-host & forever-friend of the show Simon Pelletier sit down for a great chat about Lichtenstein, coming to terms with lulls in your creative career, and… Laughing Affairs?

Tom, Akeem, and Jeremiah talk about name changes, gender identity, gatekeeping, and everything that goes along with the label of 'non-binary'- if you've ever been at all curious about what any of that means, hopefully this episode sheds some light for you! The short answer is that being 'non-binary' can mean a lot of different things and that that's kind of the point! This episode gets into a few people's experiences and identities, but is by no means trying to provide a perfect dictionary definition- if you identify as non-binary but have a totally different experience, that's totally cool and valid!

Tom, Kate, and Adrianne call up Adam Winnik, the former Senior Art Director of Thought Café, to pick his brain about Animation, Fake News, and… the Queen of England? Yeah, why not! We recorded this *before* Harry & Meghan announced they were peacing out of their Royal Family duties, but I guess we got lucky because this is topical now!

Longtime friend of the show Julian McKenzie (@jkamckenzie) dropped by the studio this week to join us for our non-denominational holiday special! We launch right into a conversation about "the War on Christmas" and how that's kind of nonsense. Then, we get a special visit from the Non-Denominational Holiday Fat Man, before having a great chat about giving & receiving gifts, and how much is too much. Finally, we hop over to Reddit to read about a guy whose grandpa is a jerk and talk about whether or not we owe people forgiveness.

To celebrate 250 episodes, Tom and special guest Iain MacNeil sit down for a great chat about milestones, tokenism, how to handle constructive criticism, getting called out, and Pokémon Sword & Shield. Iain talks about his latest project, Don't Worry, a short film series that may or may not feature Tom and a bunch of people who've been guests on this show over the years. This is maybe the most meta episode we've done in a long time, because they spend a good chunk of the episode reflecting on the creative process, show production, and more. Also, we answer a TON of questions from our listeners, past guests of the show, and more!

We decided to spend this entire episode on Reddit telling people whether or not they're assholes!

Is the past tense of Yeet "Yeeted" or "Yote"? For the final instalment of our November 'Trips' series, we were going to sit down with a special guest expert to talk about hallucinogenic drugs, but his bedroom ceiling burst open and started flooding right before the recording and he had to stay home, so we did the show without him! Join Tom, Juniper, and David, for a great conversation about dealing with toxic relatives during the holidays, then share our best (or worst?) stories of getting super duper stoned!

In the 10th round of our ongoing Jeopardy bonus series, returning champ Jordan McRae fights to defend his title against newcomer Alex Smith and returning competitor Adrianne Schoen! This is is maybe the closest competition we've had in awhile, to the point where we almost crowned the wrong winner at the end. Enjoy the suspense and the thrill and the arson! Yay arson! EDIT: Somehow I managed to leave like 15 minutes of dead air on this track when I exported it, after the show ended. Sorry about that! When the show ends, feel free to skip that last 15 minutes. There's no hidden easter eggs in there or anything. It's just a goof-up. Honestly I'm surprised it took this long for me to make this kind of mistake!
