    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

    Ciara and Lisa: Fall, 50 Episodes & Nudes

    WE MADE IT TO 50 EPISODES! 🎉 This week on Off Air Talks, we're celebrating a huge milestone with candles, treats from the Italian Centre, and Ciara FINALLY back in Edmonton after her European adventure!Ciara gives us the final recap of her trip—including being recognized by Off Air Talks fans at the Rome airport—and we talk about why travelling alone, doing things by yourself, and actually enjoying your own company might be one of the best things you can do. Back in YEG, we've been busy! We recap an amazing Edmonton Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament, Lisa hits the links again at her brother's course, The Glendale, and she got creative at Pura Botanicals making her own custom perfume. Somehow Lisa's love of sardines also makes its way into the conversation. With fall officially here, we're embracing the reset: fall cleaning, making soup, staying home, getting cozy and all the little things that make this season so good. Then we get into another WILD love story—this time involving a Reddit support group—and ask whether some of the best relationships actually start in the places you'd least expect.In **Elks Files**, we're looking ahead to Saturday's game, while the **Crystal Glass Crystal Ball** has us predicting what will be THE Halloween costume of 2026 while recapping a few questionable ones. And because it's Episode 50, naturally we end up talking about... nudes. 😂 A brilliant Martha Stewart marketing campaign gets us wondering: when you're in your 80's, would you secretly be thrilled if a tasteful photo from your younger years resurfaced? Would you wish you'd taken more? Do either of us even HAVE any? We're classy ladies, after all. Thanks for laughing, watching, listening and growing with us for 50 episodes. ❤️ Here's to the next 50! _______________________________________________________________ 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: 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
