    Nov 9 2024
    Elisabeth Skjærvold joins the show to discuss dance, schoolwork, and standardized tests. Plus, we introduce a new rule that risks Elisabeth's cancellation and/or our show becoming much more appealing to Canadian arts funding organizations. Maybe both!

    This Rule Intentionally Left Blank with Bryan Da Silva
    Dec 7 2024

    Fans of mysterious beeping: rejoice! This week's episode we are joined by Bryan Da Silva, who is reporting on location from Vancouver General Hospital. Bryan and I discuss committing to the bit, and some very silly games including Blaseball and True American and one nameless game to make a workday more exciting. Plus a new rule is introduced that demands a new tab on the ol' Rules of the Show spreadsheet.


    Follow @babyyagabakeshop for Bryan's wife's delicious baking.

    At the time of episode release Bryan is in remission and awaiting stem cell transplant. While it will be a while longer of treatment and recovery, everything is progressing well.
