  • Profanity-free Mother's Day Episode
    2025/06/03

    Digestion Digressions, Refrigerator’s Destiny, and Basement Pets, with a side of Negligible Senescence!

    Welcome to our Mother's Day episode, in which we refrain from profanity in honour of Russ's Mom (but fail at least twice without even noticing!)

    We talk about bad mothers, good mothers, vengeful house-sparrow baby-mamas, the regenerative skills of axolotls, ugly owls, and Russ's recent encounter with a sweet sassy singer, a baby lawyer, and a sexy scientist at the Windsor Tavern in Vankleek Hill. Also, Natalie's mother was a cuckoo, but also a sea turtle. And what DOES a baby lawyer sound like?

    "Menopausal women don't cry, they rage!"

    "How much of an axolotl would you need to remove to have two axolotls?"

    "You're accountable to no one!"

    "Had one of those evenings where you go out for one drink at 10, and cut to it's 3 am and you're on your couch and you've just polished off that second steak, stinking of booze and are like 'What the hell just happened to me?'"

    2025/05/08

    On episode 8, we chat with our wonderful guest Kristine Seguin of The Big House Sanctuary and Rehab for chonky kitties. We discuss so much, including weight loss for beautiful chonks, nutless-cat/blanket romances, the wonders of farm vets, and the secret Flamingo Club (for which Russ was all dressed and ready.) As always, swearing abounds! Cover your ears, my delicate flowers.

    "A semi-feral cat could send any grown-ass man screaming!"

    "I never made the Stanford Prison Experiment; I just learnt from it."

    "All the fat cats get Brazilians. All of them."

  • Cannibal chickens, dart frogs, and giant Dutch hands!
    2025/04/10

    In episode 7, we welcome to the show guest Sophie Malo of Playbow Animal Rehab Clinic in Lancaster, Ontario, and returning guest Beccy Fourney (nurse practitioner to giraffe-a-man-a-dactyls in episode 5.) Today we are talking about absolutely everything from cannibal chickens to dart frogs to giant Dutch hands to "Why the hell would anyone ever want to start a rescue farm?" There's also a small discussion of an x-rated clown colouring book sent to us by an adoring fan.

    Sophie Malo is a certified animal rehabilitation practitioner (she obatined her CCRP certificate from the University of Tennessee) and proud cat-mama to Gizmo, a lovely special-needs Tuxedo kitty.

    Rebecca Fourney is a nurse practitioner in Cornwall, Ontario. When she's not helping humans lead healthier lives, she's leading tours at Bee Meadow Farm as our Director of Client Experience, a lofty title for a job that pays nothing.

    2025/03/12

    We had a lawyer as a guest, which is why this episode is longer than "Avengers: Endgame"! Russ and Nat take on barrister-and-solicitor (that's Canadian for "lawyer") Gordon Scott Campbell. When he's not dealing with gasoline-soaked defendants or old ladies beating court guards with walkers, Gordon spends his time making tea for his wife Natalie, and working at his side gig as Chief Litter-box Scooper at Bee Meadow Farm. Learn about the law, fictitious x-rated clown magazines, and Gordon's new nickname!
