  • The Lighter Side of Political Discourse

    As a break from the doom and gloom, I gave this a listen and found myself having a laugh. Good Canadian fun! It was especially funny today (I’m a bit stoned).

  • Deep sigh…but in a good way

    Listening to the The Beaverton is best done when I just want to laugh and relax despite the World. It turns out, it is much more effective than taking mdma before doom reading a right wing inspired bot written substack post that was restacked by a lookmaxing kash patel wanna be.

  • Want to like it, but…

    The tv version was brilliant but this podcast version…

    Too much stupid laughter at nothing. They all laugh at each others statements way too much. I try every week but end up bailing after 5 minutes.

    Stop laughing at yourself..again January 14 at the 14th minute mark..I’m out. Laughing at your own jokes, talking over each other..

Trump goes full Bridge Troll
Q: Should we give the US ownership over half the bridge?

Trump goes full Bridge Troll
Q: Why do you think Trump is focusing on a single goddamn bridge?
They believe he just wants a cycle for a day and he'll say he convinced Canada to pay for the whole bridge, and nothing happens after that, or he could be using it as a pretext to disrupt trade.
