  • Visit each other later.

    I’d rather listen to 30 minutes of interesting stories than half an hour of swearing and visiting. Very happy to see content about Winnipeg so I subscribed quickly,I’ll unsubscribe just as fast. What a disappointment.

  • Shut Up!

    I tried listening but there was so much talking about nothing and too much swearing. I expected to hear interesting stories about Winnipeg, not 25 minutes of two people talking about nothing and laughing like children. Not recommended!
