Two And Change

On This Week's Show....​ Mike is taking some much earned downtime, so our good friend Steve is stepping in to discuss last week’s events. We don’t talk about Trump very often, but when we do, we go for the big events! With Manafort’s guilty verdict and Cohen’s guilty plea, is this the beginning of the end of Trump’s presidency? Is it going to get worse before it gets better? Will Tim drink all of Mike’s scotch while he’s away? Join us on this week’s episode! Also Overheard:​  In theory, Kahlua can go bad….  Constitutioning is hard!  The roman numeral Count would be odd.  A trial and handcuffs? Why can’t we have both? Steven Penisnose and Jacques Mooseshite are the Canadian David Pecker. Locking children in cages is objectively weird, right?  If the Democrats win, Josh will shotgun a PBR. If the Republicans win, Josh will just shotgun a shotgun.  Yet another technical error! We didn’t bother to edit it out this time.   We want to hear what you think! Don’t just y

On This Week's Episode.... London, Ontario seems to have two local street preachers that enjoy yelling sexually degrading things at women on their walk to work. You know, just like Christ wanted. While we all agree that freedom of speech is important in society, where does it stop being “free speech” and start becoming harassment? Councillors in the City of London have proposed a new by-law that would ban amplified speech in public places without a permit. Would this solve the problem, or would this create a brand new one? What implications does this have for freedom of speech? Join Tim, Josh, and Mike on the latest episode of Two And Change!   Also Overheard:  Hey, microphone slut!  The alcohol percentage of Tim’s beer increases with his seasonal affective disorder.  Religion has nothing to do with being a jackass….  Shoulder pads are coming back!  Even worse – it was Louisiana….  Karl Popper and the Paradox of Tolerance. Quit making me have to explain what ‘sucking dick’ is to a fou

Just when you thought things couldn't get worse.... What do you get when you combine three random liquors into one shot? Well, besides liver failure? You get a Lotto 649 shot. We review the combination of Kahlua, Rum, and Gin. It tastes about as good as it smells. See our full writeup and review on our website, twoandchange.ca.

On This Week's Episode....​ Rob joins Tim, Mike, and Josh to talk about (what else) Saudia Arabia’s tirade against Canada. After a seemingly innoccuous tweet by our Foreign Minister, Chrystia Freeland, all hell seemed to break loose with Saudia Arabia threatening to take it’s ball and go home. Did they overreact? Did Canada strike the right tone? Does microwaving fish in the office constitute a hate crime? All this and more on this week’s episode of Two And Change! Also Overheard:​ Whiskey and Durian Happy Meals – Now with Tiki Torches!  Is “Gypsy Tears” a racial slur?  In the beginning, there was Kahless.  The Canadian national defense strategy for Saskatchewan is two guys on a grain elevator in Grand Prairie. Which is in Alberta. That’s how good our snipers are.   Sorry Tim, we weren’t saints when it came to apartheid South Africa.  Luther is the best show EVER.  What would Gillian Anderson think about Saudi Arabia? We doubled Rob’s salary. We want to hear what you

On This Week's Show....​ Got a stack of loyalty cards in your wallet? So do we! We go over a few of our favourites, how they work, and if they actually change or influence our behaviours as consumers (spoiler – they do). We also wind up getting on more intergovernmental intelligence agencies watch lists, and yell at each other about how apps work. All in all, a pretty normal episode for us. Take a break from the depressing news with us, and maybe learn something absolutely nothing. Also Overheard:​ Mike finally gets a convert! WEIZENHAUSER! GET TO THAH CHOPPAH!!! Aeroplan’s getting passed around like a beer bong at a frat party. Tim is basically drinking Starbucks, but beer. You probably shouldn’t mix Prosecco with Scotch…or anything. Tim loses his shit because Josh apparently has never heard of a mobile wallet app. Either http://johnnysdaycare.xxx/ is NOT a website, or Tim’s wifi is really judgemental. In any case, we’re probably getting a knock from the door from CSIS. Do drug dealers

Live from the London Brewing Co-op, we review a flight of their signature beers. Want to read our full write up? Visit our website at twoandchange.ca!

On This Week's Episode....​   Tim, Josh, and Mike venture outside the You Had Me At Beer studio to do our first on location recording! The London Brewing Co-op is a unique London brewery that combines the best of beer know-how with a true local and worker owned ethos. We spent our morning drinking local brews and talking about, what else, beer. Josh might have almost spilled all over our equipment, so we made him buy a round…which he almost spilled on our equipment, again. We want to sincerely thank everyone at the London Brewing Co-op for their hospitality, especially David for promptly returning our message, and Jess, who found us an outlet. Visit our website for photos and more!   Also Overheard:​ Josh needs to quit spilling beer on the equipment. If it’s good enough for Lando Calrissian, it’s good enought for Tim! Johs needs to quit spilling beer on THE F#$%ING EQUIPMENT! The fate of the Welcome to the Wreck’d Room smackdown. OEV = Old East Village, which is totally a thing.

On This Week's Episode....​ Hoo boy. When London goes racist, it goes #MAGA. About a week and a half ago, this video surfaced on social media. Apparently, being brown while shopping is cause to be stopped and placed under ‘citizen’s arrest’. If you haven’t seen the video yet, here it is:     Of course, it’s not fair to blame all Londoners for this one lone asshat, just like it’s not fair to blame all Americans for Donald Trump supporters. Still, we’re not exactly putting our best foot forward. When you get a Vice article about your city, you know you done goofed as a municipality. Is the Forest City racist? Do we have a problem here, Canada? Let’s grab a beer and talk about it. I’m sure Tim, Josh, and Mike will be perfectly calm, rational, and measured in their opinions.   Also Overheard.... Josh’s levitary berries. Just kidding St. Thomas, we love you. Hey Railway City, send beer! Josh didn’t circle back. He never circles back. Turns out, the story Tim quoted about the rac

On This Week's Show....​ Tim, Josh, and Mike channel their inner hipster to talk about gentrification…assuming they know what that actually means. Some say that a rising tide floats all boats, but others point out that sometimes the poor get negatively impacted by the lack of affordable housing. Where do we stand? Join us while we sip our lattes from our ivory towers!   Also Overheard:​ Rob Ford was terrible but kind of charming. Special Shout-Out to Sarah from Starbucks! Gen·tri·fi·ca·tion: the process of renovating and improving a house or district so that it conforms to middle-class taste. Apparently only Tim read A Modest Proposal… There’s nothing fancier than Starbucks! Who got more alien STDs, Kirk or Riker? That Drake can do anything! Apparently, we have a YouTube channel. Please click on it repeatedly.   A special thank you to Matt Ebel for providing additional voices for the show.  You can check out the discussion we had about girls joining the Boy Scouts of America her

On This Week's Episode....​ Tim, Josh, and Mike talk about garbage. Okay, so this really isn’t much different than normal, but we are discussing actual trash. When China announced that they’re no longer going to be in the business of taking the world’s recyclables, municipalities around the world panicked and started looking at alternate plans. What do we do with our stuff we don’t want anymore? We don’t want it winding up in the ocean, or lying in a landfill decomposing over tens of thousands of years. What’s the answer? We don’t know, but we have fun pretending we do! Take a break from Donald Trump in the news and give us a listen!   Also Overheard:​  Tim seems to be the only one ruining the illusion…. You put rubbish in the garburator, but not the aluminium or the yoghurt. Pigouvian Taxes and the fine art of beating Josh with a sack of hammers. Only the green bin is Socialism, Mike. The milk fridge at Loblaw’s called Tim fat. Level 7 Fire Druids and goin’ to the rippers! We’re going

On This Week's Episode....​   We are celebrating Canada this episode by talking about (what else) the differences between the US and Canada. At least, that was the plan. We just drank a lot of beer and talked about whatever we wanted to talk about. So enjoy this super Canadian episode of Two And Change, and to our US listeners, maybe we’ll do a 4th of July one next year. In the meanwhile, we’re just going to leave this here.     Also Overheard:​ There’s no rule that says a Maple Tree has to be in Canada. The US needs better signage. Josh comes out. Canadian Sound Check (Patent Pending). The Prime Minister’s house is kind of a dump. Crunch Berries are probably illegal up here. The Aryan Worms of Ft. Saskatchewan. We couldn’t find a strip club in Nunavut, but there’s definitely one in Yellowknife.   We want to hear what you think! Don’t just yell angrily at whatever dumb thing Tim just said, or laugh derisively at one of Mike’s opinons! Write a comment in the comm

Two And Change Reviews....​     el Jimador Tequila Reposado 100% That’s right, this is happening. Tim pulled the tequila out of the bar, and we’re going to tell you what we think. We’re no tequila experts, so you’re not getting an educated opinion.     Check out our full review on our website, twoandchange.ca.Do you have an idea of something you'd like to see us review? Let us know!

On This Week's Episode....​  Feeling depressed with all the news lately? So were we, so we’re taking an episode off from politics. Instead, we welcomed avid gamer Chris and we talked about ‘microtransactions’ in games. You know those ‘free’ games you play but they keep asking you for money for additional in-game content? That’s what we’re talking about. It’s gotten to the point where the EU is considering regulating it like gambling. At one point or another, we’ve all been tempted to drop some money on these games, but is it really a problem? And exactly how much money did Tim drop on a browser-based flash game? Listen in and find out! Also Overheard: Wrong temple. Tim likes Coors Banquet. We’re still waiting for the cheque to clear, Molson Coors. Java is the bane of our existence. Unless it’s Minecraft. Then it’s cool for some reason. Tribble Beards! You can use Ingress to find Pokemon. Josh’s eyes glaze over. Since comics don’t translate over podcasts, here you go. The game isn’t the pro

On This Week's Show....​ What the hell, America?   Josh couldn’t make it (he said something about a picking up a couch in Toronto), so Laura stepped in to talk about Canada in light of the recent kerfuffle at the G7. Since we’re apparently a security threat now, we decided to make this episode SUPER Canadian, accents and all. Did our Prime Minister, Dreamy McDisneyprince, represent us in the best light? What about these tarrifs? Don’t be a hoser! Join us for our very Canadian view of things, eh? PS – Check out this episode from March where we discussed tarrifs…when this all seemed hypothetical.   Also Overheard:​ Canadians don’t sound like Minnesotans. Schrodinger’s Douchebag? Laura doesn’t want to see Trump’s “Dictatorial” tendencies. Justin Trudeau is basically a Disney Prince. It’s just “Canadian” Tim…not “Molson Canadian”. Glen Breton won the lawsuit. Take that, Scotland! We’re not perfect in the slightest. Just ask our First Nations.     We want to hear w

Bonus Episode​ It seems like every week, we see on TV or hear on the radio about another celebrity that has taken his or her own life. We often feel devastated, and sometimes overwhelmed. We at Two And Change wanted to take a minute to talk about mental health, and offer help if anyone needs it. We're serious. If you are in crisis and need someone to talk to, please shoot us an email or message us on Facebook. We're not trained in any way, shape or form. We're just a friendly ear and here for you if you need us.

On This Week's Show....​ Okay, maybe putting Doug Ford's victory in the Ontario election on par with the apocalypse might be overly dramatic, but you have to admit that while his victory wasn't unexpected, it's unorthadox. Rob takes a break from sobbing in his bathtub with a bottle of gin to join Tim, Josh, and Mike to talk about the election. What does this mean for the province? Should we be looking out for the other three horsemen, or should we give our new Premier a chance before we start trading ammunition for rations? Join us for our typical nuanced approach!   Also Overheard:​ Our first live audience! Sure, it was just one guy, but it counts. B-E-R is a perfectly cromulent way of spelling 'beer'. Look at this bitch, eatin' those crackers like she owns the place. A bad case of McGexit. First Past The Post needs to be first to go. The Ghost of Bob Rae's Past. Children would have voted for the NDP. Just sayin'. Mike wasn't surprised that he finished last. Does Mike Pence seriously calls his wi

From time to time, we like to give our uneducated opinions on stuff.​ We’re trying something new on Two And Change – reviews. Every once in a while, we’ll rate something we’re drinking so you don’t have to. Isn’t that considerate of us? Check out the full review on our website, twoandchange.ca!

On Today's Show....​ Matt pops by to join Tim, Josh, and Mike to talk about cyberbullying. Man, things have changed since we were young. Sure, we got punched, stuffed in lockers, or in Mike’s case, put in a tractor tire and pushed down a hill, but when we got home, it was over. Once you take schoolyard bullying online, and add the relative anonymity and freedom from consequences the internet brings, it’s rough to be a kid in 2018.In an era where we are constantly connected, how do children escape the deluge of kids being jerks to each other online? Let’s grab a beer and talk about it. It’s a good thing three of our hosts are fathers! Tim is more of a fun uncle….    Also Overheard....​ We break Josh’s twitter thumbs. Is this real life? Or is this just fantasy? Probably a little of both. Thanks, Facebook. Pay up or kill them? When it comes to kids online, we need a version of “the talk”. Teaching common sense vs. “Don’t talk to strangers”. Josh pops and locks, and turns us on and off. K
