Brad Smith has lived several lives—and somehow talks about all of them on the radio. He’s a former Canadian Football League player (yes, the hits were real), a TV host on Chopped Canada (no, he does not judge your cooking), and a former star of The Bachelor Canada (long story, limited roses). Now behind the mic, Brad delivers unfiltered opinions, sharp humor, and conversations that skip the nonsen... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"65" - Brain Decline, Retirement & Why Empires Fall
Q: Tommy, what's going on with brain health and retirement?
Tommy explains that retirement often reduces daily cognitive stimulation, which can accelerate decline unless people deliberately engage in new mental and physical activities, social connections, and learning to keep the brain active.
"64" - Have We Made Parenting Too Complicated?
Q: Why is active, structured engagement like sports important for developing resilience?
Structured activities teach competition, handling loss, and discipline, which are foundational for success in later life, even as parents navigate concerns about overprotection.
"64" - Have We Made Parenting Too Complicated?
Q: How do we balance giving kids direction with allowing them independence in a hyper-connected world?
The host and guest discuss giving clear boundaries and explanations, rather than mere commands, to help children learn responsibility while maintaining a healthy parent-child relationship.
"64" - Have We Made Parenting Too Complicated?
Q: Is there a risk that parents are losing themselves in the drive to be present and perfect?
Yes, the conversation suggests that overemphasizing presence and monitoring can erode parents' own self-care and lead to stress, which in turn affects how they raise their kids.
"63" - The CBC Prank That Went Too Far? | Lindsay Shepherd
Q: How did you know that moment where the whole thing smelled like a setup rather than a legitimate project?
Shepherd explains that the convergence of a fake website, a staged product launch, and the ready-made deception signaled a green-lit ruse rather than a sincere collaboration, and the presence of American producers added to the suspicion about authenticity and intent.
