It's finally time to have a guest on Rant and Wade!
This episode I am joined by the hilarious Kenny Robinson, who has been a Canadian stand-up for over 50 years.

Kenny and I look back at some hilarious stories in our lives, as well as some of the other funny people who make a living telling jokes across the country.

As the creator/ host of the Nubian Disciples of Pryor in Canada, Kenny has brought in some of the biggest names in showbusiness to hungry audiences.

Have a listen and a laugh to this one!

In honour of Father's Day, I offer up some personal advice to any young men and some women out there.

There are a lot of 'dad' things that I wish that I knew, so it's good to impact some of that wisdom to others, and maybe even crack a few dad jokes.

It's ok to feel alone, but you gotta find some community.

Listen to the whole podcast to get the full feels.

You might think a podcast about pornography is all one thing, but SURPRISE! I'm going deep (pause for comedic effect)... into its history and how technology has twisted and turned it. I'll also be your guide through the societal funhouse it has created. Expect unexpected facts, questionable jokes, and a slightly uncomfortable yet informative listening experience.

The world seems to be going to hell in a handbasket, but the handbasket is now twice the price, and requires weekly updgrades.

In this episode I rehash some topics from previous episodes with a bit more spice: including how we are now in a 'Pre-War Society'; how global conflicts push us further into the battle-fold, and the influence of the billionaire on your bottom line.

Poverty is here to make you angrier, nationalism is here to distract you from the wealth divide.

I channel the rose-coloured glasses to make me see the better in society.

So I'm still back in Canada, and this place is getting to me.

From the surreal brown landscape, to insane prices, lack of news, an almost communist lifestyle, and the fact that Canadians just accept all the crap that is shovelled to them.

In this episode I talk about all the things about this place that bugs me, as someone who has lived in the UK for almost 20 years.

Lots of crap to slug through, and I refuse to just live in the acceptance of 'it is, what it is.'

It's been a heck of a past few months. In this episode I discuss the recent death of my mother Mary, moving back to Canada, and all the drama I've had to experience along the way.
I try to channel as much of the rose coloured glasses that I can, but a heavy heart is hard to wield.

Listen and subscribe for more, as I plan on hitting the podcasts hard in 2025.

Anger is growing across the world, can you feel it building up?

Turns our anger is just an emotion, and you can control it. There are lots of types of anger, do you know yours?

In this episode, I look at what makes us angry, and how to control it.

I also look at things we take for granted on this planet, that might soon disappear.
