Beer And Bull Podcast

Just Jay and Corey on this episode...   After a short layoff, we're back to give our account of what's going on in the world.   Hope everyone is holding up alright!   Cheers!   B/B

Hello everyone!  We hope you all had a great May long weekend, despite the weirdness going on in the world right now.   This week, we chatted with Nathan and Darcy from All The Wasted Years (the makers of the horrible intro music you hear every episode).  We talked about their new album "I'm Fine", the future of music and live events, and revealed some questionable opinions regarding The Tragically Hip.   As always, thanks for checking out the podcast!   You can find All The Wasted Years' new album "I'm Fine" on Spotify, Apple Music and all other streaming platforms.   Cheers!   B/B

This week, we hang out with Mr. Gilles Bisson.  We talked about the provincial government's response to the covid-19 crisis, what the future may hold and a plethora of other topics.   This is Gilles's second appearance on the podcast and he always brings great conversation.   Hope you all enjoy this week's episode as much as we did.   Cheers!   B/B

Unfortunately, Jay and I had a bit of a communication problem with our scheduled guest this week.  Sooooo, we decided to have ourselves a good ol' Skype hangout.  It was a good time and we chatted about work from home arrangements and what that might look like when this whole quarantine situation settles; as well some discussion other newsworthy items like the recently passed firearms legislation. Hope everyone is still staying well, staying home and staying safe! Cheers! B/B

This week, we hang out with Sylvie Lamothe from Rebel Soul Tribe.  It was great to chat about how the current pandemic and resulting social distancing has impacted her business; which revolves heavily around getting gathering together in the real world.  We talk about different sectors of the economy pivoting into their new realities and speculate on what the future holds.   As always, we hope everyone is staying safe and staying connected.   Cheers!   B/B

This week, we did a virtual get together with another good friend, Mr. Marc Durepos of Dabrowski's Smoked Meats.  We had a great chat about how he's been handling the coronavirus situation as an essential service and the larger societal implications of social distancing, health concerns and isolation fatigue.   Thanks for joining us again and hope everyone is staying safe!   Cheers,   B/B

On this week's podcast, we are joined remotely by Chef Nic Gignac of Stack Brewhouse in Sudbury (with his lovely wife Jes chiming in from time to time).  We get into the impacts of the current pandemic on the restaurant industry, and what things might look like in the future, as well as much, much more. Unfortunately, we experienced some technical issues in recording this conversation, so you may find that the discussion gets a little wonky at a few spots.  Although, that may have just been the nature of us getting together. Happy Easter weekend and hope everyone is staying in, staying well and staying safe. Love,  B/B

Greetings fellow home dwellers!  It's (or was) Jason's birthday!!  This episode, we got together for long distance podcasting with our old friend, the local (not so) transient Jon Belanger.  We delve a little deeper into coronavirus talk and comment on how the public has reacted to social distancing measures.  Discussion veers into what the future might hold and Corey tries to convince Jay and Jon to watch Tiger King.  It was a great time!! Hope everyone is staying safe and this episode finds you well. Love, B/B

In this episode, we meet up in the digital domain and are joined by our spouses Sophie McGee and Paula Boissonneault.  We talk coronavirus and the effects it's had around the globe.  Later, we're joined by Andrew Autio to get his take on the new world we're all inhabiting at the moment. Things may be shutting down right and left, but we know we can always count on the good folks at Full Beard Brewing to keep us hydrated!  This episode is fuelled by various offerings from the local brewer still making home deliveries. God bless em'! Thanks for listening, wash your hands, stay home and be sure to give thanks to all those keeping the world going in these tough times! Love,  B/B

This week, we sat down to chat with local marathon runner, 6-star chaser and entrepreneur, Marc Rodrigue to talk about our ongoing foray into the world of long-distance running and endurance sports.  We talk about how Marc got into the sport, the benefits of increased activity and conditioning, his thoughts on nutrition and how this led to his co-founding of Borealis Fresh Farms.  We also touch plans for the future and as always, anything that comes to mind.   Although we've decided to get moving, this has done little to quench our thirst for the best brews (possibly worsened the problem??).  In this episode, we sip on a few cans of Ebb and Flow Session Sour from Muskoka Brewery, as well as a few Lone Pine IPA from Sawdust City Brewing Company.   As always, thanks for checking out the podcast and cheers!

This week, we bring you the recording of our 2019 Election night coverage with former Timmins Mayor Steve Black and local journalist Andrew Autio.  We had a great time hanging out talking politics as we watched the results roll in. Thanks to everyone who listened in for the livestream and thank you again for checking out the podcast! Cheers! B/B

This week, we were invited to facilitate and moderate Anti-Hunger Coalition Timmins (ACT)'s federal candidates debate on Food Insecurity.  The event took place at the Lord's Kitchen in Timmins.  We had a great evening with some really thoughtful discussion from all the Timmins-James Bay candidates.  The delicious meal prepared by chef Michael Yorke was also a nice bonus! Hope you all enjoy this week's podcast and thanks again for listening. B/B

So we're trying to get this project going again! Hope everyone has been doing well.  This podcast involves us talking about what we've been up to in the past 10 months, some news, election talk and what we hope will mean more frequent pods moving forward!! Thanks for hanging with us over this long hiatus. It's much appreciated.  And welcome to new listeners. Love, B/B

This week, we sit down and chat with another new face around the Timmins City Council table, Kristin Murray. She is the councillor for Ward 5 and received the most votes of all Ward 5 candidates in the last municipal election. We talk about her approach to politics, issues facing the city over the next term, the role of diversity in growing the municipality and much more... Many thanks to Kristin for the great conversation. A huge thanks to the good folks of Compass Brewing for hosting us again. We indulged in some of Hibster Hibiscus beer to help facilitate our chat. Also, as a last bit of housekeeping, this will be our last episode of 2018. Thank you to everyone who checked out the podcast over the last year. We appreciate all of you who've taken the time to take part of our conversations. See you in 2019!!

This week, we are hosted by Julie and Katie of Jump City Comic Shop in Timmins, ON. We were so stoked to chat comics, movies and anything else that came to mind in this bastion of nerd-dom. Also, we couldn't record such a podcast without a return to the Rotten Tomatoes game. Many thanks to the lovely ladies of Jump City for having us in their shop. We hope to do it again in the future! This week's beer selection included some reliable offerings (Bearded Prospector and Switcheroo) from Full Beard Brewing Company.

We talk about their upcoming Rock On The River 2017​ festival featuring Finger Eleven (F11)​, Big Wreck​, Classified​ and many more. We also chat about the recent resurgence in interest in live music following the 8-day Stars and Thunder festival and what appears to be an awesome wave of community support. These guys were a great time and their passion for live music was obvious. We were happy to have them on the podcast and lend any support we can give. This week, we sampled a few offerings from MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Company​. Hope you find our "analysis" helpful! Cheers!!

This week on Beer and Bullshit, we welcome back actor, writer and all around good dude, Jon Cor and the local transient Jon Belanger (who stays surprisingly put). We covered so much ground in this podcast and jumped to and from every topic imaginable (well maybe not). We had a great time and love having the "Jon's" on to shoot their special brand of BS! Enjoy!! As is the habit on this podcast, we helped ourselves to some Buenos Dias Gruit Ale from Beau's All Natural Brewing Co., as well as some hybrid Chanan (part IPA, part German wit) from MERIT Brewing Company.
