    Ciara and Lisa: ZYNs, Alone Time & Oilers Controversy

    Episode 49: Worldwide! 🇨🇦🇮🇹 This week on Off Air Talks, we're recording from two countries as Lisa checks in from Edmonton while Ciara joins us from beautiful Florence, Italy, fresh off her brother's unforgettable wedding in Tuscany. Of course, it wouldn't be a family wedding without a story or two. She shares how everyone, including the bride jumped in the pool and then the unbelievable tale of the entire wedding party coming down with food poisoning. Back home, we dive into one of the biggest stories in hockey: the Edmonton Oilers' controversial signing of Alex Formenton and the conversation surrounding it, plus, our Crystal Glass Crystal Ball returns with predictions on how this decision could unfold. We also recap the Elks' dominant blowout win, their impressive winning streak, and what it means as they officially punch their ticket to the CFL playoffs. Lisa recaps an incredible evening at Sorrentino's Mushroom Harvest Wine Dinner, one of our favourite local events of the year. Then both discuss why Zyn pouches seem to be throw everywhere, how vaping is catching on across Europe while traditional smoking remains a huge part of everyday life, and why Italy's slower pace, incredible food, and emphasis on enjoying life have Ciara seriously questioning whether she wants to come home. Meanwhile, Lisa shares stories from a fun week of dinners, dates, and nights out around Edmonton—including performing a rather unexpected "operation" on one of her chickens. We wrap things up by reflecting on how much we miss each other, but also how grateful we are to be able to record our podcast from opposite sides of the world. We talk about the importance of spending time on your own, embracing independence, slowing down, and giving yourself space to think, grow, and recharge. _______________________________________________________________Sponsored by: Crystal Glass - crystalglass.ca Sorrentino's Restaurant Group - sorrentinos.group Edmonton Elks - goelks.com MeatHead - meatheadinc.ca Pro Co Painting - procopainting.ca Lisa and Ciara's hair provided by Concrete Blonde (ask for Sahara & Kendra) - concreteblondehairbody.com Ciara and Lisa's cosmetic dermatology & laser provided by RejuvaDERM - rejuvaderm.ca Studio podcast chairs custom made by Apex Upholstery and RUUM Concepts Episode lighting, cameras and editing by Grailed Media

    Ciara and Lisa: Boots & Hearts, Overpriced Menus & Hitting Reset

    We’re back from Boots and Hearts with stories! From meeting artists, festival chaos and more. We’re recapping the weekend — including Ciara’s connection to Zach McPhee from growing up and a huge thank you to Jules for lending us the camera that helped make it all happen! Halloween stores are already here, is it too soon? And after our Moose Jaw episode questioning whether men from Mannville are where it's at… we actually meet one at a golf tournament who heard about it on our recent podcast. The Nation Golf Tournament also comes into discussion about the evolution of booze and wildness at golf tourneys. We’re also talking about the absolutely insane prices popping up at bougie restaurant menus. We’re not naming and shaming, but we ARE giving some honourable mentions to the Edmonton spots where you can still go out, have a great experience and not question every life decision when the bill arrives. Plus, the Crystal Glass Crystal Ball 🔮 prediction from last week may have been right — summer isn’t over yet but are people using September as a reset?! We’re also looking ahead to Bubbles & Brunch on October 4, a special event we’re hosting in support of CASA Mental Health. Grab your tickets and come hang with us! 🥂 And speaking of things that never seem to end… construction 🚧 We get into another project coming to 121 Street and Yellowhead, connecting with St. Albert Trail, and what drivers can expect. ______________________________________________________________________ Sponsored by: Crystal Glass - crystalglass.ca Sorrentino's Restaurant Group - sorrentinos.group Edmonton Elks - goelks.com MeatHead - meatheadinc.ca Pro Co Painting - procopainting.ca Lisa and Ciara's hair provided by Concrete Blonde (ask for Calsea & Kendra) - concreteblondehairbody.com Ciara and Lisa's cosmetic dermatology & laser provided by RejuvaDERM - rejuvaderm.ca Studio podcast chairs custom made by Apex Upholstery and RUUM Concepts Episode lighting, cameras and editing by Grailed Media

    Ciara and Lisa: Dolly, the 90's & Cuffing Season

    This week on Off Air Talks, we're talking Dolly Parton, nostalgia, seasonal dating and everything that comes with the changing of the weather. Ciara is back with a whole new look after getting 24 inches of extensions at Concrete Blonde, and she's officially Europe-ready as she prepares to celebrate her brother's wedding overseas. We take time to reflect on the incredible legacy of Dolly Parton—why she's so beloved, her unmatched songwriting, generosity, and the lasting impact she's had on country music and beyond. Then we recap our unforgettable experience at the CPKC Women's Open at Mayfair Golf & Country Club, from the tournament itself to a memorable encounter with a charming caddie, shuttle adventures, and why events like this are so much fun to experience in Edmonton. Feeling nostalgic? So are we. We dive into why the '90s and early 2000s just hit differently—from movies, growing up without smartphones to simpler times, unforgettable trends, and all the things we wish would make a comeback. Lisa also shares the exciting news of her documentary award nomination, and with summer coming to an end, we chat about back-to-school season, September resets, fresh routines, and yes... cuffing season officially being upon us. ______________________________________________________________________ Sponsored by: Crystal Glass - crystalglass.ca Sorrentino's Restaurant Group - sorrentinos.group Edmonton Elks - goelks.com MeatHead - meatheadinc.ca Pro Co Painting - procopainting.ca Lisa and Ciara's hair provided by Concrete Blonde (ask for Calsea & Kendra) - concreteblondehairbody.com Ciara and Lisa's cosmetic dermatology & laser provided by RejuvaDERM - rejuvaderm.ca Studio podcast chairs custom made by Apex Upholstery and RUUM Concepts Episode lighting, cameras and editing by Grailed Media

    Ciara and Lisa: Tailgating, Marathon Madness & Cursive Writing

    Episode 45 is here, and this week we're recording from two provinces! Ciara is back home in Moose Jaw while Lisa checks in from her backyard oasis, complete with a sort of thriving garden, free-range chickens, and plenty of summer updates. In Elks Files, we relive an incredible weekend as the Edmonton Elks dominated on the field. We recap the electric tailgate, the amazing fans we met, and tease some exciting behind-the-scenes content. Plus, don't miss another ticket giveaway for this weekend's Friday Night Lights Country theme game! Then it's time for the Crystal Glass Crystal Ball, where our friendly competition continues as we predict who will capture the CPKC Women's Open title in Edmonton. Will World No. 1 Nelly Korda take it? Can defending champion Brooke Henderson repeat? Or will Lydia Ko or Hannah Green steal the spotlight? More importantly... can Lisa extend her winning streak, or will Ciara finally close the gap? We also recap a weekend of highs and lows around Edmonton—from beautiful patio weather at Black Pearl and the Fairmont, to the marathon chaos that left thousands of runners frustrated amid construction and road closures. Finally, we dive into one of our favourite conversations yet: Is technology making us forget the basics? We debate whether today's generation can still read cursive, spell without autocorrect, drive a standard vehicle or read a paper map. Plus, with summer winding down, we share what's still left on our August bucket lists before the season comes to an end. ______________________________________________________________________ Sponsored by: Crystal Glass - crystalglass.ca Sorrentino's Restaurant Group - sorrentinos.group Edmonton Elks - goelks.com MeatHead - meatheadinc.ca Pro Co Painting - procopainting.ca Lisa and Ciara's hair provided by Concrete Blonde (ask for Calsea & Kendra) - concreteblondehairbody.com Ciara and Lisa's cosmetic dermatology & laser provided by RejuvaDERM - rejuvaderm.ca Studio podcast chairs custom made by Apex Upholstery and RUUM Concepts Episode lighting, cameras and editing by Grailed Media
