    Season Finale! A Summer Vacation to Remember - Ft. Kristine Shadid

    Guys, this is our season finale! (Reggae Horn) We also hit another minor, but great milestone with this episode. Say hello to episode 40!! How cool is that? If you've listened to us from the start, you're amazing. If you just started, where were you? It makes sense to have Kristine Shadid join us for another episode. She's stupid funny, a great friend, and always brings her A-game.  On today's episode, we continue our annual tradition of giving each other summer goals. It's really a labour of love to do our segment, "I love you, please change." Christina also talks about her trip home to see her family and Ryan shares the worst was that funny of the series. Ryan also shared his fear about looking like Joey Fatone with not great results.  Kristine is such a lovely guest and provided us with her own goals for our summer along with giving some stellar relationship advice.  We'll miss you over the summer but can't wait to hang out soon! Thanks for helping us make it to episode 40.

    Advice For My Changing Body - Ft. Mike Kosowan

    It's good to be back! Two episodes left until our summer break and we gotta be honest, sometimes getting to the studio to record together is just magic. In today's episode, Christina tells a story about confronting the man who was sending her sexually suggestive poetry and how she misinterpreted his kind gestures. It was this meeting that helped Christina determine how she wanted to be proposed to. In turn, Ryan shares his recent experience with Soul Cycle and the experience of a lifetime he had joining the Soul Cycle cult.  Later in today's episode Ryan talks about his hate of birthday cards and Christina talks about her time at progressive summer camp. Ryan also delves into his fears about his changing body.  We were privileged to host Mike Kosowan in today's episode. He is a long-time Ottawa improviser and one of the nicest dudes you'll ever meet. Ryan and Mike get downright nerdy about improv and spend 20 minutes geeking out. If like nerds talking about nerdy stuff, this episode is for you! As always, we are so thrilled to have you listen to Scene Partners and please tell your friends and rate our podcast on the platform of your choice to show us some love.

    Don't buy that dog! - Ft. Sara Mulligan

    Ok folks, this is one of those episodes you're going to want to listen through the whole thing. We were thrilled to host Ryan's wife Sara today's episode. Of course, she does it all with grace and poise while Ryan and Christina manage to make it awkward as hell.  In the rest of today's episode, Ryan and Christina launch a small business for all your party planning needs. Christina talks about her passion for child care and while Ryan shares his passionate disgust for Bath and Body Works. Christina also asks the big question, what's the appropriate age differential in a relationship?  This was probably one of our favourite episodes to record all season and that was even before Sara came to join us. If you ever wondered what it would be like to have Ryan and Christina flustered at the same time, this ones for you Remember we rely on word of mouth. If you like Scene Partners, tell someone else you like Scene Partners. It'll be great.

    You're My Little Scotch Egg (and other terms of endearment) - Ft. Andrew Wambolt and David Haddad

    We had so much fun recording this episode. Sometimes you just get a little hyper and things get stupid. Christina, fresh off a trip to London and Ryan, fresh off birthing and delivery courses with his wife, have plenty to talk about. On today's episode Ryan teaches Christina about her body and what she can expect during childbirth. It's as informative as it is beautiful. Christina tells us about the British comedy scene and her reaction to meeting a real life British Lord. Hint, you already know it was awkward.  I should maybe warn you about our interview with our two guests today. You've heard each of them independently on Scene Partners but on today's episode we host Andrew Wambolt and David Haddad as "comedy best friends". The interview falls apart almost immediately and we are pleased to present to you a very chaotic and very funny interview with these fantastic comedians. We finish by providing impeccable relationship advice to a woman thinking of dating a cannibal.  Finally, please mark your calendars. A Little Awkward will be hosting an improv show on June 12th, which will be Ryan's last show, pre-baby. We'd love to have you!  Thanks as always for listening and if you haven't, please rate and review Scene Partners!

    I'm Working On A New Smoulder. What Do You Think? - Ft. Al Connors

    It's important in a friendship to call out your friends when they are acting awkward. It's important to be that person who can protect them from public embarrassment by giving them gentle advice. If your friend was so obsessed with Paddington Bear that they had to budget the amount of money they spent Paddington Bear swag, you would step in right? Right. Ok. Good.  On today's episode, we explore some of the trickiest life questions. What happens when you run into an ex in public? Can Christina wear heels or is she already too tall? What's funnier, Christina or the spelling of her last name?  Christina tells us about her experience at a comedy roast and Ryan talks about a movie he once starred in that is awkward as heck. Ryan also complains about beard culture and how he just wants to be left out of it.  It was an absolute thrill to have Al Connors join us today. Al is a rock of the Ottawa comedy scene and has done more for Ottawa improv than anyone! He's funny, charming, and has a sexy podcast voice.  Ps. Check out our instagram to see two people trying really hard to improve their public image.

You won't believe the interview they scored with Johnny Depp, Christopher Plummer, and Mandy Moore.  You know, all the talk of upcoming fatherhood has Ryan thinking about 1) his dad bod goals and 2) being a daddy instagram influencer. It's not hard. Just take your kids to sick places and wear your Adidas track suit.  On today's episode Ryan discusses his plans to be an instagram influencer and Christina shares with Ryan her love of a new show full of fake tans, bikinis, and deception, Love Island. The two also take time to dissect Ryan's tendencies to buy things of infomercials.  We were thrilled to host Main Street Revival as our musical guests and improv inspiration.

    White Male Fragility At Your Service - Ft. Leslie Cserepy

    Did you know we have listeners in France?? Huh.  What a joy it is to provide another delightful episode for you. On today's episode Christina learns about Ryan's unfortunate tanning incident which occurred on his recent trip to Hawaii. The results of which left Christina disgusted and sick to her stomach. Christina shares a story about the worst "almost tattoo" she ever got and it's a doozy. Ottawa Improv Fest just occurred in our little town and the crew dissects what a wonderful weekend it truly was! Funny story, this episode's segment of "Was That Funny?" turned in to a full-scale brawl with Christina taking down patriarchy, one loveable character at a time.  Finally, we were absolutely pleased to host Leslie Cserepy, a veteran of the Ottawa improv scene as our special guest! As always, we love when you tell your friends about the show. Please don't hesitate to reach out to the long-time friend, or ex-lover and suggest Scene Partners for their next road trip/commute/wedding dance soundtrack.
