Recorded live on certain Sundays, Dropbear and Panda are back, but this time to save Canada. The world was too big and complicated. Does Canada need saving? No. But we just want to show it some love.

1:11Our previous season made a huge splash across the globe; we received numerous award nominations, distributed a lot of socks, and made a genuine effort to save the world! Now look at it!! Erm.... yeah, okay. The world is vast, and it was hard to save the entire planet. This time we thought we'd start small, like... 9.985 square kilometres small. Doe…

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…. Better yet, we’ll just tell you that we don’t know about UFOs, but if you click here we’ll explain to you what we don’t know even though we don’t know enough to know how to tell you what we do or do not know… Hint: It’s in the name. They click-baited us with promises of UFO clarification, but all we got is more of …

When UFOs show up and barely make it on the radar (no pun intended) that’s definitely… something to think about. Over some good gin and a new sock jingle, of course! We talk drones and UFOs, review Viva la Dirt League’s "Baelin’s Route", and muse over BroodX cicadas and wildlife conservation. Not a bad way to spend a typical wet, cool Victoria Day …

25:26We've got two reviews today - and we’re not angry with one, per se… just disappointed. Which (if we take any cue from our parents) is worse than being mad. Much, much worse. A man from Italy finally gets busted after skipping work for 15 years, Panda tests her taste buds by doing the ol’ orange juice & toothpaste trick, and we celebrate Calgary’s C…

The most important question we have to ask ourselves - Is Panda’s no taste and smell strong enough to withstand a chicken cooked by a robotic slapping machine? Our podcast isn’t just about the science of slapping chickens this week; we also talk about DMX and Prince Philip, agonize over Eivor’s bird-eyes in AC Valhalla, and vow to send a Sock Rocke…

47:16We review Bigfoot Family: the most controversial, dangerous movie ever to grace our Albertan television screens. Never before have we witnessed anything so…. Wait, is that a jive-talking raccoon?? Even more perplexing than magical Bigfoot offspring, is marshmallow-flavoured Pepsi. What is this world coming to?! Thank goodness we have a new Sock Jin…

Thanks (?) to our knack for reviewing bad movies, we were asked to review “CAPONE”… and boy, was it ever… a thing... that we did. Sort of. The Alberta War Room attacks an animated film for children, we praise two gentlemen in Fukushima who care for pets left behind, and we have a new sock jingle! Plus, Dropbear tries the “Burnt Orange” trick to bri…

We’re recording at Kensington Studio this weekend but we can’t seem to escape the snowblowers outside. We think they’re stalking us. Send help. Or…. less snow.

We’re back after 4 weeks off - but THE SHOW MUST GO ON - albeit a little short of breath, but un-isolated this time, and just in time to completely ignore Valentines Day. We discuss how Panda’s Covid prognosis quickly went downhill, plus Gorilla Glue hairdos and toothpaste mohawks, how to escape deserted islands with or without a TV crew, and we th…

This week we go remote because Dropbear and Panda have been separated by COVID-19. Yep. Poor Panda caught ‘The Vid’ at her work in Health Services and is finding the positives in her positive; Dropbear has been living in isolated exile to ensure it doesn’t spread. So this week we’re doing the podcast via ZOOM. Not ones to be downers, we found some …

We do our best to do a quick review of 2020 without going completely insane - is THAT what gave Panda a headache? Or was it all the cookies she ate during quarantine? At least we isolated, unlike… Canadian politicians. What will 2021 bring? Aliens, probably. Do these aliens have feet? Do they wear socks? We hope so! We’d love to give them some sock…
