    Ciara and Lisa: Cabo Floods, Mexican Flu & Day of the Dead

    We’re coming to you poolside from Cabo, Mexico! Ciara and Lisa landed the day after a once-in-100-years flood and still managed to find the best hole-in-the-wall tacos, an insane surf-bar sushi spot down a very wild road, a bumpy jeep tour, custom perfume and cowboy hats at Flora Farms, and Day of the Dead makeup you have to see to believe. Plus: Lisa’s windburn that won’t quit, the Mexican flu, and how much cheaper rides are with Lyft versus Uber.In Asking for a Friend: have you ever texted someone ABOUT a person… and accidentally sent it TO that person instead? 😬 Then we head back home for the Crystal Ball (is a snowless November actually happening?), the Elks Files ahead of Saturday’s Western Final against the BC Lions, and a hot take on work ethic and Edmonton’s way-too-early last calls. Grab a drink, pull up a lounger, and come hang out by the pool with us. 🌴 ━━━━━━━━━━ THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY Crystal Glass – https://crystalglass.ca Sorrentino’s Restaurant Group – https://sorrentinos.group Edmonton Elks – https://goelks.com MeatHead – https://meatheadinc.ca Pro Co Painting – https://procopainting.ca ━━━━━━━━━━ GLAM Hair: Concrete Blonde (ask for Kendra & Sahara) https://concreteblondehairbody.com Cosmetic dermatology & laser: RejuvaDERM https://rejuvaderm.ca ━━━━━━━━━━ STUDIO & PRODUCTION Custom podcast chairs: Apex Upholstery & RUUM Concepts Lighting, cameras, and editing: Grailed Media

    Ciara and Lisa: Performance Reviews, Open Relationships & Tom Brady

    It’s review season at Off Air Talks. Ciara and Lisa sit down for their first-ever performance reviews of each other, including self-assessments, incident reports (with receipts), performance improvement plans and a raise negotiation. Who gets written up? Then they recap the week: Sorrentino’s never disappoints, and Lisa makes it through the PGA Awards’ Battle of Alberta night with no voice. In Crystal Ball, they predict the first Battle of Alberta on home ice, and Elks Files previews the Nov. 7 home playoff game. Plus: STRONG Pilates is back after a flood, the last Saturday Halloween until 2037, why Halloween movies just aren’t the same, and Tom Brady’s reported romance with Victoria’s Secret model Candice Swanepoel. Does he have a type? In Asking for a Friend: A man wearing a wedding ring says he’s in an open relationship. Is he lying? And why friends always travel in groups of three or four, and why family birthday dinners are truly the best. ━━━━━━━━━━ THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY Crystal Glass – https://crystalglass.ca Sorrentino’s Restaurant Group – https://sorrentinos.group Edmonton Elks – https://goelks.com MeatHead – https://meatheadinc.ca Pro Co Painting – https://procopainting.ca ━━━━━━━━━━ GLAM Hair: Concrete Blonde (ask for Kendra & Sahara) https://concreteblondehairbody.com Cosmetic dermatology & laser: RejuvaDERM https://rejuvaderm.ca ━━━━━━━━━━ STUDIO & PRODUCTION Custom podcast chairs: Apex Upholstery & RUUM Concepts Lighting, cameras, and editing: Grailed Media

    Ciara and Lisa: Hickeys, Edmonton Zombies & Call Me Auntie

    Is it a hickey or a curling iron burn? You decide. This week, Ciara and Lisa react to UFC champ Sean Strickland trashing Edmonton (and the UFC crowd getting cut off at 6:50), sit in a warm suite for the Elks game, lose four hours at the roulette table, and tell you how a woman who stole a TV in the Mercer Building was found. Plus Tate McRae at the Victoria’s Secret show, a listener’s take on cheating (update to lesbian affairs), whether the pre-date phone call is coming back in Crystal Ball, and a brand-new segment, Asking for a Friend: an uncle, a hookup, and a morning text that says “you can call me auntie.” ━━━━━━━━━━ THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY Crystal Glass – https://crystalglass.ca Sorrentino’s Restaurant Group – https://sorrentinos.group Edmonton Elks – https://goelks.com MeatHead – https://meatheadinc.ca Pro Co Painting – https://procopainting.ca ━━━━━━━━━━ GLAM Hair: Concrete Blonde (ask for Kendra & Sahara) https://concreteblondehairbody.com Cosmetic dermatology & laser: RejuvaDERM https://rejuvaderm.ca ━━━━━━━━━━ STUDIO & PRODUCTION Custom podcast chairs: Apex Upholstery & RUUM Concepts Lighting, cameras, and editing: Grailed Media

    Ciara and Lisa: Dad Naps, Travel Agents & Only Fans

    Is hiding out in your vehicle for a nap the ultimate dad move or a healthy way to have some alone time? This week on Off Air Talks, Ciara and Lisa are tackling everything from sightings of men taking naps inside their cars outside their homes among other interesting topics. We’re talking whether travel agents are making a comeback, the most Canadian things we say, and whether situationships are officially a thing of the past. Plus, we’re recapping Thanksgiving dinner, a competitive pumpkin-carving showdown, and a Hotel Arts stay in Calgary. The gals also get into the topic of OnlyFans, ADHD, the latest Edmonton Elks Files, and breast cancer awareness month. Lisa shares how it runs in her family and a recent scare her mom is dealing with. _______________________________________________________________ Sponsored by: Crystal Glass - crystalglass.ca Sorrentino's Restaurant Group - sorrentinos.group Edmonton Elks - goelks.com MeatHead - meatheadinc.ca Pro Co Painting - procopainting.ca Ciara and Lisa's hair provided by Concrete Blonde (ask for Kendra & Sahara) - 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: Shopping Channel, Lesbian Affairs & CFR

    This week on Off Air Talks, we're kicking things off the right way—with a cup of coffee and a splash of Hansen Distillery's delicious new Pumpkin Cream Liqueur. Fall has officially arrived! It's been one of our busiest weeks yet, and we're recapping an incredible stretch of events around Edmonton. Most notable was Brunch & Bubbles at Browns Socialhouse Sherwood Park, where an amazing community came together to raise more than $85,000 for CASA Mental Health. The event sparked an honest conversation about the stigma that still surrounds mental health, why so many people struggle to access support, and also segway's into talks about the heartbreaking reality of addiction and why the period immediately following treatment can be one of the most dangerous. Then we swap some unbelievable stories from our days as servers, sharing the worst customer experiences we've ever had and some of the inappropriate behaviour we dealt with from men while working in restaurants. Meanwhile, Ciara accidentally transforms into a Shopping Channel host as she proudly models a gorgeous hat from Sweet Pea & Grace Boutique before we unveil one of our biggest giveaways yet: an incredible prize package worth more than $1,000 from RejuvaDerm that one lucky listener and follower will take home. Naturally, the conversation takes another unexpected turn when we ask a question that's equal parts hilarious and thought-provoking: How would you even know if your partner was having a lesbian affair? Women often have incredibly close friendships, making for one of our funniest conversations yet. We also recap the fantastic kickoff party at Cook County Saloon for the Canadian Finals Rodeo, talk about the excitement surrounding this year's event, and make our Crystal Ball prediction on whether this could be the biggest and best CFR Edmonton has seen yet. And because no episode is complete without food, we wrap things up with a stop at Meathead, why it's become one of our favourite local spots, and why you might want to order your Thanksgiving turkey there this year. _______________________________________________________________ Sponsored by:Crystal Glass - crystalglass.ca Sorrentino's Restaurant Group - sorrentinos.group Edmonton Elks - goelks.com MeatHead - meatheadinc.ca Pro Co Painting - procopainting.ca Ciara and Lisa's hair provided by Concrete Blonde (ask for Kendra & Sahara) - 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

    NFL Star Alex Singleton on Beating Cancer, the CFL, Broncos & Why Men need to Get Checked

    Former Calgary Stampeders linebacker and current Denver Broncos star Alex Singleton joins Off Air Talks for one of his most personal interviews yet. Lisa MacGregor first covered Alex during his CFL days in Calgary before he went on to build an impressive NFL career. Now entering another season with the Broncos, Alex reflects on his football journey, his continued love for the CFL, and why Calgary will always hold a special place in his heart. The conversation also turns to one of the most difficult chapters of his life. After a routine NFL drug test revealed elevated hormone levels, doctors discovered a cancerous testicular tumour. Thanks to early detection, Alex underwent surgery and is now using his experience to encourage men to take their health seriously and not ignore warning signs. Alex also helps raise awareness about men's health, the importance of regular checkups, and why conversations like these can save lives. While testicular cancer and prostate cancer are different diseases with different screening methods, the message is the same: don't put your health on the back burner and feel yourself! Plus, we chat Broncos football, the start of a new NFL season, his journey from the CFL to the NFL, and what lies ahead this year. If this conversation encourages even one person to book a checkup or pay attention to their health, it's worth sharing.

    Ciara and Lisa: Adult Sleepovers, Safety Vests & Pickup Lines

    This week on Off Air Talks, we're talking fall vibes, hockey season and why adult sleepovers might just be the most underrated night in or frankly what feels as good as a night out. We kick things off with an amazing afternoon at Argos Bar | Bistro, enjoying happy hour tapas, soaking up one of those perfect September days, and embracing everything we love about fall. Ciara also shares the painful story of how a relaxing steam shower turned into an unexpected third-degree burn. With hockey season officially here, we chat about the Edmonton Oilers' home opener, the bright safety vests covering the seats at Rogers Place to welcome fans back, and celebrate the arena's 10th anniversary... while also questioning whether concession prices have reached a whole new level. Then we dive into celebrity gossip after learning Lindsey Vonn is dating a man 11 years younger. Good for her! That leads us into a hilarious conversation about some of the best (and worst) pickup lines we've said. We also share our experience at an incredible hair fashion show at the Art Gallery of Alberta. Feeling nostalgic, we reminisce about the golden era of music videos and how they were once an event you couldn't wait to watch. That conversation naturally spills into one of our favourite nights in a long time—an adult sleepover with the girls filled with great conversations, movies, sushi, old music videos, laughs, and the reminder that sometimes the best nights don't involve going out at all. In Elks Files, we recap another thrilling September win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, talk about the team's momentum heading into the final stretch and share what's coming up next. _______________________________________________________________ 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
