Ranked : Top 5 Lists Of Stuff That Don't Matter

The PodCavern and Guelph Comedy Festival are teaming up to bring in the spooks! In this very special collaboration episode, we have partnered with some very funny local talent from the Guelph Comedy Festival to bring the TERROR (and hilarity) in one of our Halloween specials of Ranked this year! The pandemic has shutdown the world of comedy for too long and it's our goal, together, to announce this very important message - that comedy is back baby! So join Tuong and GCF's Hayley Kellett (The Making Box), Ben Gorodetsky, and Spencer Dunn (Castle Rockettes)as they discuss (in HORROR) Top 5 Spooky Characters You'd Want to Party with on Halloween!

A Top 5 episode unlike anything you've heard before! Welcome to the very first Ranky Roulette - an improv styled game show where the best ranker reigns supreme! Join Tuong and professional Podcast Guinea Pigs Angus MacDonald, Samantha Leggatt, and Leslie Cserepy as they venture into this grand inaugural experiment and rank like they've never ranked before!

Surprise mother fu***kas! There's nothing like a good swear word (or ten) to help you articulate or vent your frustration. As children, we were taught that using profanity was a big no no but maybe if we were able to swear back then we'd be able to let out our anger in a more healthy way (think about it!). That said, when we think of swear words we immediately go to the "taboo" words that would shock and appall your grandparents but not all swear words need to have same shock value to be a good one. So this week join Tuong and Potty Mouths Axandre Lemours, Victoria Luloff, Jess Maybear as they shout blasphemy at each other while ranking Top 5 Swear Words! The post 118 – Top 5 Swear Words appeared first on PodCavern.

"Weeeee want Candy!" As kids, candy was the pinnacle of food (who cares about steak dinners or gourmet seafood when you can have a handful of Sour Patch Kids). Somewhere along the way, the constant nagging of teachers, parents, and health experts convinced us that candy was "bad for us" and we should only eat it "occasionally and in moderation". Well no more! This week join Tuong and Pull the Plug's Justin Godelie, Shannon Godelie, and Dan Foerster as they embody the phrase "kids in a candy store" and rank Top 5 Candy! The post 117 – Top 5 Candy appeared first on PodCavern.

Let the games begin! Okay let’s be real. The Olympics most probably shouldn’t be happening this year due to the ongoing pandemic let alone just the sheer negative environmental impact of hosting these games. That... The post 116 – Top 5 Summer Olympic Games appeared first on PodCavern.

"HEY! Listen!" Earlier this year we paid tribute to everyone's favourite video game plumber by celebrating Top 5 Super Mario Songs . But Mario isn't the only one with a big anniversary to celebrate this year. That's right! This time, we are giving love to another one of gaming's most popular franchises - The Legend of Zelda for their 35th anniversary! So this week join Tuong and the Tri-Force trio that is Justin Godelie, Spencer Moreland, and Kristine Shadid as they grab their ocarinas and spin attack their way to making a Top 5 Legend of Zelda Songs list! The post 115 – Top 5 The Legend of Zelda Songs appeared first on PodCavern.

What even is "Canadian" food anyway? There are many mixed emotions releasing this episode today. On one hand, we originally recorded this to "celebrate" Canada as we have in the past. On the other hand, with recent news and the further evidence of how Canada has mistreated our Indigenous Communities it's difficult to feel very patriotic. With that said, we have included resources in our show notes to resources and charities so you can help educate yourself as well as give back to some incredible Indigenous causes. Ultimately, we decided to release today's episode anyways. Today's episode centres more around food than Canada and our guests today would be the first to tell you that they don't celebrate Canada day. So join Tuong and The Upford Network/Natural Toonie's  Tom Zalatnai, Alexander Smith, and David Hall as they try to figure out what is "Canadian Food" and make a Top 5 list from it! The post 114 – Top 5 Canadian Foods appeared first on PodCavern.

Who's your daddy? (Us. It's us.) We've done Fictional Moms so it's only fair to pass some love to daddys right? So join Tuong La Fur-Fathers Axandre Lemours, Catherine Ballachey, and Alli Harris as they work out their collective issues and rank Top 5 Fictional Dads. The post 113 – Top 5 Fictional Dads appeared first on PodCavern.

Question everything (even this podcast). Humans have this undying and relentless need to uncover the truth to things. However, sometimes an answer to a question is not satisfying enough and we are left in this state of "well that's too simple" or "I don't buy it". That's why we gravitate towards conspiracy theories, as wild as some may be. They contain just enough nuggets of truth in there to make things plausible and their explanation can throw everything back into question on what we know. So join Tuong La and co-conspirators Patricia Eddu, Stefanie McBurns, and Stenley Philippe as they question everything (including themselves) while ranking Top 5 Conspiracy Theories! The post 112 – Top 5 Conspiracy Theories appeared first on PodCavern.

Come on down! TV Game shows have been around for a very long time. And while the history of this format has been around forever, the appeal of them has always been the same - that everyday people could win a lot of money by being tested for their mental or physical abilities (or more times than not just dumb luck). So this week join Tuong La and What We Do in the Basement's Jesse Bergen, Natashia Durand, and Thomas Proles as they they land on the Daily Double and give the final answer of "what is Top 5 TV Game Shows?". The post 111 – Top 5 TV Game Shows appeared first on PodCavern.

Oh you thought we were done ranking first names? We have barely begun... We've done Ryans, we've done Chrises, it was only a matter of time until we reached a point to ranking the glorious name that is...Steve! This week join Tuong La and Stupendous Steve Experts Desiree Connors Warmington, Geoff McBride, and Leslie Cserepy as we spend a (very) long time arguing and ranking Top 5 Steves!  The post 110 – Top 5 Steves appeared first on PodCavern.

Tell us when... Look, we've done a ton of food episodes on Ranked but we have often glossed over the unsung hero that are condiments. Condiments can make or break a food by giving it that little extra zing that you were missing. It can also turn a random assortment of green leafs into a helluva tasty salad or a dry piece of chicken into a mouth watering delight. So join Tuong and The Sonar Network/That's How I Remember It 's Michael Mongiardi, Raul Delgado, and John Richardson as they give you a nice heaping dollop of fun in the form of Top 5 Condiments! The post 109 – Top 5 Condiments appeared first on PodCavern.

Under the Sea, under the sea! It's time to dive into the deep blue ocean on this week's episode of Ranked! We have touched upon how wild sea creatures are on a previous episode of Ranked (see Top 5 Interesting Animals You've Never Heard About), so it stands to reason that fictional sea creatures would be even WILDER. So join Tuong and The Upford Network's /Natural Toonie's  Tom Zalatnai,  Kendalyn Aldridge, and Greg Schulz as they sail through the vast expanse of the great blue sea to bring you a list of Top 5 Fictional Sea Creatures!  The post 108 – Top 5 Fictional Sea Creatures appeared first on PodCavern.

**Imagine the following paragraph softly whispered in your ear** You hear that? That's the sound of an entire podcast episode dedicating to figuring out what the best sounds are! Autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR, has garnered immense popularity over the last decade. We all know sounds that we collectively disdain like nails on a chalkboard, but we often glossed over the sounds that we actually find enjoyable until ASMR came around. And while this episode is not strictly about ASMR, this week join Tuong La and the A-Team Angus MacDonald, Samantha Leggatt, and Leslie Cserepy as we rank the Top 5 Sounds that are sure to tickle your ears in the best way possible! The post 107 – Top 5 Sounds appeared first on PodCavern.

Mama mia! It's Mario time! To celebrate our favourite mushroom-eating, high-jumping, adventure-seeking Italian plumber on his 35th birthday, we take a look back on all the Mario games that have brought us gamers so much joy over the years. While last year we ranked Top 5 Super Mario Games, this year we wanted to celebrate an aspect of these iconic platformers that is crucial to making these games what they are but are so often overlooked - the music! This week join Tuong La and Koopa Kids Samantha Leggatt, Spencer Moreland, and Alex Toth as they venture into the Mushroom Kingdom, high on a star power up, while grooving out and ranking Top 5 Super Mario Songs! The post 106 – Top 5 Super Mario Songs appeared first on PodCavern.

Age is just a number, especially to these butt-woopin' seniors. When we think of old people it is easy to immediately imagine that stereotype of a feeble hunched-back, white-haired individual that's slowly shuffling along with their walking cane and shaking their fist at kids. Well today's nominees completely shatter that stereotype in such a way that if you were to ever compare them to it, you would wish you never mentioned it. Join Tuong La and Ass Kicking Experts Kristine Shadid, Paul JP, and Amanda Parker as they clench their butts while talking about Top 5 Old People Who Could Kick Your Ass!

Stop! In the name of love (songs)! It's time for yet another Valentine's Ranked Special! Music and Love have gone hand in hand since the dawn of the cavemen (probably). As long as there has been music, there have been people out there singing about their feelings for one another. So how do you make a good song from a topic that has been covered millions of times without being overly cheesy, obvious, and copying what's come before? Join Tuong La and Palentine's Kristy Matheson, Amanda Gulka-Armstrong, and Laura Gordon as they get hot and steamy while ranking Top 5 Love Songs!

Pull up those overalls and throw on your neon tracksuits because this week we are going back to the 90's! Aiight home skillet, do we have the episode for YOU today! The musical era of the 90's was, to say the least, an interesting and defining decade of what music would eventually become. Moving away from the whiny guitars and synth we got from the 80's, we started transitioning into a variety of different sounds from the rising popularity of Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, Grunge, and Ska/Punk. We also got our fair share of boys band and pop groups too! So this week join Tuong La and Phat and Fly guests Axandre Lemours, Colleen Wang, and Victoria Luloff as they rank 'all that and a bag of chips' while discussing Top 5 90's songs! The post 103 – Top 5 90’s Songs appeared first on PodCavern.

A Top 5 fit for a King! The title of King is one the highest positions of powers that people across the world have yearned and fought for (maybe because you get a fancy crown and comfy velvet robe?). For everyone else, the King meant the ruler of a kingdom who called all the shots, where you just really hoped they were a kind King and not the type that believes in you know...an ol'fashion beheading. But what makes a good King or rather interesting King? This week we'll find out! Join Tuong La and Royal Court Jesters/ Pull the Plug's Justin Godelie, Shannon Godelie, and Dan Foerster as they obey the royal decree of the PodCavern and all hail the Top 5 Kings list!

At least we had video games in 2020. It is not breaking any new ground to say 2020 was a dumpster fire. In that raging dumpster fire though, there was a small little ray of hope and escapism in the name of ...video games! It is not hyperbole to say that video games provided that much needed comfort in these dark times to the entire world. And while 2020 brought out the worst in gamers (we're looking at you The Last of Us 2/Cyberpunk entitled knuckleheads), it also brought out some real fantastic game experiences that we were able to get completely immersed in. It gave us a way to connect with family/friends digitally, in a world where we couldn't physically see each other. So join Tuong La and 'Sus Gamers' Angus MacDonald, Ethan Howieson, and Matthew Whalley as they celebrate the best games of 2020! The post 101 – Top 5 Video Games of 2020 appeared first on PodCavern.
