Verbal Laxative Podcast

For our 1 year anniversary episode (not really), we just take it easy and wing it.  Bryan talks about his recent trip to Vancouver Canada and also his decadent, bourgeois attitude on mowing his lawn.  We finish by talking about the upcoming Area 51 "Naruto Run" bumrush, the upcoming Disney Mulan live action movie, and how we binge watch shows.    

In this episode we talk about the first US 2020 Democratic Party Debate aka political theatre, and it's colourful participants.  We also talk about Iran and discuss why America has such a hard-on hatred against them.  Also we talk about whether large private companies need more oversight.

We get serious for the bonus and talk about the latest Hong Kong 2019 Extradition protest and expand upon the history, and the political realities; giving the non-mainstream perspective of it. Pls don't rage at us.

We begin by talking about some random stuff about the WWE and the A&W Beyond Meat Burger. We then go through this year's E3 and the showcased games and consoles; we also talk about Keanu Reeves. In the end, talk shifts to discussing Apple's thousand dollar stand, the shenanigans going on in the tech world, and what future video streaming services / gaming may look like. All the while one of us sits there shamelessly like a pervert in his "crotchless" jeans. Listen and find out who. *Apologies for the allergies

Special Guest Adrian joins us as we talk about the ending of Game of Thrones and lament about the car wreck that is the writing of Season 8.  We contrast this to the way how Avengers Endgame ended. This is a full chat/rant filled with spoilers so be warned. Enjoy and allow us to Subvert The Absolute Sh*t Out of Your Expectations.

The episode starts off with Bryan giving us a General Knowledge Quiz, where we display our full collective stupidity. We then talk about the new films coming out, including the awkward Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Then we try and think if there were ever any successful live action movies based on video games. Then the chat turns to the old school Chinese Martial Arts movie stars like Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and Donnie Yen. We finish off by talking about how there seems to be less and less originality in the newer movies being released and how the big studios are just releasing remakes (Mulan, Aladdin, Lion King, etc). 

"She's not going to make a difference!!" - circa 2019 Bryan "B-Money"  Bryan gives a rare once-in-a-lifetime concession that his bold statement from last episode was wrong and we rub it in.  We then recap the highs and lows of the epic battle from the episode and talk about how we think the Game of Thrones (TV show, not books) will end. 

We start off Part 2 with an appetizer talking about Border and Customs stories and we try and guess what powers they have with your phone.   Then we give you the delicious entree with some Game of Thrones talk (Spoiler warning for Episodes 1 and 2 for GoT Season 8). We get hit with some pure grade Bryanisms and things escalate quickly.  Our brains then begin to rapidly disintegrate. Post Addendum: Turns out border agents have a lot more power than we talked about in this episode.

In Part 1 we talk about Bernie wanting to give prisoners a vote and Bryan dreams about entrepreneurial opportunities in prison with instant ramen commissary and prison facebook; we then consider sending Bryan to prison to document his "startup". Then we review the Fyre movie on netflix to pay homage to our first episode and make fun of the Ja Rule and Billy McFarland scams.  We also opine on social media "Influencers".

In this episode we talk about car buying advice, air plane disaster stories and the 737 Max 8.  Bryan advocates the "right" way to ride an escalator and tries in vain to warn us of the coming shortage of sand; both he got from random YouTube videos.  Also talk about the blackest color ever invented: "vantablack". We then wrap it up with another Alternate Timeline where Alberta fights a war of independence from Canada.  

We touch upon some of the theories about why ancient gods are male or female; Aftermath of Christchurch New Zealand terror attack and the effect of media had on it; media bias; racist Aussie senator fraser anning getting egged; Brexit deadline and some of the problems and the choices facing Britain and the EU.    

We talk about Captain Marvel and how female MCU characters are underdeveloped; Bohemian Rhapsody winning the oscar with bad editing; Movies in the making: Gladiator 2 and Suicide Squad Reboot; And then we veer way off and talk about infant and maternal mortality statistics and parse what that means. We also dip our feet in the abortion pro-life/pro-choice mess; the institution of marriage and monogamy and how the stage of production in society fits in with that.

We return to regular scheduled programming with random talks about bs: Kids with smartphones in schools, how memory works, ivy league bribery, willpower and addiction, the research that went into Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, and the most dumbest conspiracies. We also somehow found our way to talking about wikifeet somehow. Also Bryan goes full SSJ and graces us with his 'American Psycho' side: Shows us his unhealthy obsession with Pi day and Tao, advocates for everyone's medical records to be public, force all kids into programming camp, and also propositions to live action role play the HBO show The Wire in Baltimore.

We talk about Universal Basic Income (UBI) - it's implications and the meaning, and US 2020 Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang who is proposing it. Also talk about the evolution of video streaming services like netflix, disney, primevideo, etc and where it's going in the future.

The title says it all.  He also talks about the other stuff he did in Japan. We also talk about if prostitutes were paid with bitcoin, some anecdotal stores of some celebrities, and something about liquid aids.  

After a long hiatus, Verbal Laxative is back for the first episode of the new year with recurring guest Bryan. Showing how professional we are, we completely winged the entire episode and talked about gibberish...so just like any other episode. We talk about gene editing and what to expect from that, THE GREAT WALL OF AMERICA, crappy product reviews, crappy customer mentality, why hype is the worst, the rat race of profit, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, Black Mirror Movie and choose your own adventures, Freewill vs Determinism and Religion vs Atheism.

It's just 2/3 of the Verbal Laxative hosts here for this episode and we get to talking some light-hearted and definitely not serious stuff: 2018 US Midterm Elections, Multiculturalism vs Assimilation, WTF exactly is Canadian culture? Politics, Citizenship, Birth Tourism, Universal Healthcare, Crappy Canadian Politics, Post Petroleum world, Far Right Populism, Future Big Data, Multi-Polar World, World Wide happenings.  

In this bonus episode with the Auxiliary Crew we talk about Bryan's dating life and the schemes he has employed on dates.  We start off talking about the most expensive porno and discuss what porn fluffers do. Also we Bant about an ANCAP world.

The other two regular hosts have been consumed by the spooky night and so a special auxiliary crew has been called in to co-host the Halloween Special.  We talk the usual random stuff; wars, politics, car dealerships, power rangers, other shows/movies, but with more Spook befitting Halloween.   We also witness Bryan's descent into madness with his extreme "final solution" to anti-vaxxers.   Pls no Spook.   *Correction: It was Coventry that was air raided, not Lancaster.   Also apologies in advance for the audio quality, it was a spooky night.

We talk about animals we would not eat; also talk about PG-13 Venom, Penny Dreadful, The Haunting of Hill House; and why the Hobbit was 3 movies too long.  We also imagine what would Trump be like if he was in Game of Thrones and talk about how some schools don't allow kids to dress up for halloween. Touch on Canada legalizing pot, Saudis mafia style murder of Kashoggi, and we reach a climax with some bants on corporate scandals and responsibilities.   Finally, Jason prepares to go on his month-long trip....alone and vulnerable.
