    Meet Halifax's own Potato Salad Guy, Riley Merry

    This week on Big Kid, we welcome a new Canadian folk hero. Riley Merry had an unopened tub of Costco potato salad in his refrigerator and it was about to go bad. Instead of throwing it out, he challenged himself to eat it all and went viral. Riley is here to talk about his journey to side dish game, what's next, and indulges Chris in talking about the best stuff in Halifax. Check out Riley on TikTok and Instagram below!

    DVDs Are Better Than Streaming (w/ Mat Elfring)

    Mat Elfring (I Just Wanna Talk To Friends) returns to talk about the pure joy of physical media in a streaming world. Mat and I have been big fans of actually collecting physical copies of movies most of our lives and that hasn't changed, even though most movies are online. Physical media is better and we will fight you. Make sure to check out Mat's Substack for his writing, podcasting, and general Mat-ness. http://immatelfring.substack.com Follow Big Kid! http://www.twitter.com/bigkidpod http://www.instagram.com/bigkidpod Follow Chris! http://www.tiktok.com/@chrishayner http://www.instagram.com/chrishayner Hosted on Acast.

    Vegas Vacation! Kinda!

    Hey there! Sadly, we have no new episode this week due to some traveling. I'm currently in Las Vegas for work. Since I'm very cool, I'm only doing things that don't include gambling and drinking. Luckily, I already know what to do since I've literally written about it! https://haynerland.substack.com/p/8-awesome-things-to-do-in-las-vegas We'll be back next week with an all new episode!

    This week, there's a lot to learn as we delve into the world of K-Pop. Back in 2021, I noticed a bunch of my friends all started listening to K-Pop almost simultaneously. Now, three of those friends are here to explain to me what the heck is going on. Remember!

    Welcome, foolish mortals! This week we're celebrating spooky season with a deep dive into loving The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland (and Disney World). Former journalist Danielle Turchiano joins the fun as we dig into what makes the ride so much fun, differences between the different versions, and why the hell Tim Burton has to mess it up so many months of the year.
