    Songs You Can't Help But Sing

    Okay music lovers, this one’s for you. For our season finale, we've come up with what may be our most DIVISIVE bracket to date. We’ve curated a list of 16 songs you can't help but sing along (and memorize every word) to, and will be pitting them against each other for your entertainment. As always, our goal is simple: determine which is the most addictive and “scream sing”-inducing of the bunch by dragging one another's poorly formed arguments and opinions through the mud. Special shoutout to our amazing friends Lianna and Sarah for helping us wade through all of these stellar tracks and ultimately helping us crown a champion 👑 See you in a little bit for Season 4 ❤️

    Things You've Been Doing Wrong

    This week we’re collectively re-examining our lives and owning up to the things we’ve been doing wrong… the entire time. That’s right, finally an episode where we make the world a better place by supplying you with the shortcuts and life-hacks you NEED (well, not counting the one where we provide tips on fighting animals). Resident deep-thinker (and a man who is not afraid to own up to his mistakes), Lloyd returns to the pod to enlighten us with some of his picks and take shots at all of ours.

    For the Ladies

    This week we take a break from our usual shtick (curating shockingly forgettable countdown lists, important work - we know) to focus all of our attention on the fairer sex. It’s no secret that we consider ourselves authorities on a wide range of topics, but you may be surprised (disturbed even) to learn that we do not count the inner workings a woman’s mind among them. So to solve for this we’ve invited our favourite woman (okay not favourite, but easily top 5), Laura to spit some knowledge and help make us overnight experts (or at the very least tolerate and attempt to answer our painfully idiotic questions).

    The Aughts

    This week we’re showing love to one of the most formative and dare-I-say unapologetic decades of all time. It ushered in an era of next-generation gaming, gave us the tools to share our stories with the world (disrupting entire industries in the process), and perhaps most importantly — bore witness to the rise of bubble tea (the most important beverage of the 21st century). I am of course referring to the AUGHTS. While we are always happy to take a solo trip down memory lane with you, this one is extra special as we are joined by our good friend and fellow 2000s fanatic, Ilya

    Things We Know We'd Be Great At

    In this week’s episode we’re back to that unbridled confidence you know and love — counting down our picks for `Things We Know We’d Be Great At`. They say it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill, but we’re convinced that we have the transferable skills needed to show some real talent without all that unnecessary... practice. Oh and it’s not just us — our dope friend (and Performance Stretch Coach) Sarah dropped by and hit us with her very own picks.

    Things We Can’t Do

    This week we give a solemn nod to all the frustrating skills that we’ve straight up failed to master (or even.. acquire) in our collective century of life. Whether it due to lack of practice, a very reasonable fear of death or a very laughable lack of dexterity, we’ve decided as a group that there are just some things we’re just never going to learn. And that’s okay. Acceptance is the first step right?

    Jealous Gadgets

    This week we get a bit nostaligic (surprise, surprise), as we pay homage to all those gadgets our parents refused to buy us as kids - and delve into all the trauma that forced us to carry into adulthood. A little dramatic? Maybe, but YOU try being the only one in your class that did not own a Tamagotchi. Heartbreaking. Oh and as a special treat, our good friend Kates came through with some picks of his own!

    Animals We Can Take

    This week, in a spiritual successor to our ‘Animals We Don’t Want to Meet’ episode, we aim to answer yet another age-old, albeit absurd question: If you did find yourself in a no-way-out, Man vs. Nature scenario — what animal(s) do you think you could take? That's right, we’re gettin' downright delusional with this one.
