    Episode 17 - Batman Peeves

    Hi Peevers, 

    Are you vengeance? Are you the dark knight? Or simply Batman? They all work, and they are all part of our peeving topic today - all things Batman! While we both adore Batman, we acknowledge the many peeves of the Batman world: gadgets, phrases, Batman's actions, villains, and all in between. Put on your utility belt, warm up your grumbly voice, and spend billions on vehicles that for some reason you know how to maneuver like a professional - it's time to peeve about our favorite superhero. 

    Intro: 0-8:19

    Batman Peeves: 8:19-36:21

    Lighting Peeves: 36:21-43:33

    Outro: 43:33-46:02

    Thanks for sticking with us to chat about the Bat...man. Have a rad week and we'll see you next time.

    Episode 16 - Olympics Peeves

    Episode 16 - Olympics Peeves

    Hello Peevers!

    In honour of the 2022 winter Olympics in Beijing, we thought it would be fun to discuss certain aspects of the Olympics in general, including both summer and winter games. But to start, it must be stated that we are avid sports fans and thoroughly enjoy the Olympics. Our peeves do not take away from our love of the games. So lace up your skates, throw on your spandex, do your pre-game mediation, and loosen up for your triple axel - it's Olympic peeving time. 

    Intro: 0-16:02

    Olympics Peeves: 16:02-43:51

    1) Lack of humour
    2) New sports should be added each Olympics
    3) Shortage of historic stories on the specific sport
    4) How do people become athletes in very specialized sports? i.e. the luge
    5) Judging vs. winning or losing
    6) People being overly critical of the athletes

    Lighting Peeves: 43:51-49:09

    Outro: 49:09-51:11

    Thanks for peeving along with us!

    Episode 12 - Decade Edition: 1990's Peeves

    Hey, Pet Peevers!

    We thought it would be fun to visit the very broad topic of certain decades from time to time, and this go around we chose the 1990's. We are both children of the 90's and admit to loving the decade, generally speaking, although mainly due to nostalgia. We are aware that there were many irritating things that occurred throughout this particular decade and we are here to tear it all apart. So grab those fanny packs, strap them around your insanely baggy jeans that are far below your waistline, frost those tips, light up a cigarette indoors, and sit around a scheduled television program with your family as we list off our pet peeves of the 1990's. 

    Intro:0 -10:41

    1990's Peeves: 10:41-34:09

    1) Dunkaroos
    2) Mom pushing me into horrible fashion choices
    3) How fanny packs had such a bad rep
    4) Smoking indoors
    5) Bowl cuts
    6) Too many things peaked in the 90's

    Lightning Peeves: 34:09-36:00

    Outro: 36:00-38:19

    Thanks so much for listening! Be sure to track your pet peeves and share them with us. Happy peeving!
