The Wonder Boys Podcast

We are back again and again and again. Its almost as if we've never recorded before with all the technical mishaps. Tim's quest for the perfect urinal photo and Lucas' ambitious Christmas Eve dinner plans for the United Nations set the stage for a conversation that inevitably shifts to the mundane topic of C's getting Medical Degrees. Discover the challenges of booking expensive Christmas flights to Vancouver and the joys of driving an electric car, as Tim declares himself Elon Musk's biggest fan. Meanwhile, Lucas contemplates the significance of spatulas as gifts and Tim reflects on his love for Christmas trees, tinged with memories of immigrant childhood skating struggles. We end with a contentious topic of discussion, do you eat dinner before 7pm or are you a psychopath?

It’s been nine months since we did this, so thanks to our four loyal listeners for sticking with us. We know that Canada has some problems that we aren’t going to talk about, but we hope you are all doing well. How has all of 2023 been for you? For us, it’s been a roller coaster of emotions, adventures, and mishaps. Tim’s driving has gotten worse, so he takes it out on others by honking, swearing, and driving into the back of them. He says that violence is the answer, but we disagree. Middle East peace is way too complicated for us to understand, let alone solve, but we do know that the Israeli military war complex is not helping anyone. Lucas is being smug as per usual, because he gets to travel all over the world and see amazing places, while we are stuck here in our boring jobs. Work sucks, we know, but we have to pay the bills somehow. The only thing that keeps us sane is watching Andor, the new Star Wars series that is awesome. And speaking of awesome, did you hear that Justin Timberlake is getting cancelled? Apparently, he did something really bad that we can’t mention on air, but you can google it if you want. We think he deserves it, because he’s been a jerk for a long time. Maybe he can find some redemption, but we doubt it.

Our prime recommendation this week is not to eat food too quickly otherwise you'll end up burping straight into the microphone and alienating your listeners. Once you're able to get over that hurdle you can chat about Joey Glazer flying planes and how awesome Richard White's website is. From there, you can discover just how much of politics is absolute bullsh1t and why George Santos is actually your mother. Tim goes on a self discovery journey of how to make banana bread out of compost-able bags which allows him to earn his degree in story telling. As it turns out we can actually learn something from Terrorist organizations and what their policies are on gender pronouns. All of that as well as how cousins work, doom-scrolling, Malcolm Gladwell, reading books and if you stick around for 45 mins into this podcast you can actually learn something.

Its been 5 months since our last episode so you know the drill, we'll see you again in May. Today's topics were all over the map as we built our layer cake of stress by having Tim Fly planes, travel to Italy - enjoy most of it and then come home. It wouldn't be complete unless Star Wars was mentioned and the housing market in Vancouver wasn't messed up. Over to Lucas, he has balled out and been all over the world while also complaining about having to pay £4.50 for a coffee that was average at best. The world cup is on and Saudi Arabia's fans are shooting their guns in the air like they just don't care while Twitter goes down the drain that Elon Musk walked in with. Ending with casual racism for Russians who invaded another country - those selfish bastards.

Tim is a lazy piece of sh1t and so this episode comes to you very not live. The boys are onto the ever popular topic of stretchy pants making up reasons for why Lulu island is in Richmond and why Royal Ascot is where Tim needs to be because he loves the ponies. It was also Tim's birthday recently so hear about how he had to work like a regular adult and why BC Ferries and EasyJet have so much in common. Then get your plastic ready as we hear about the ever boring frisbee that Lucas plays while we advocate for abortions for everyone, only abortions...all the time. Finished off so elegantly by talking about your favourite, STAR WARS, what would an episode be without it?

Tim was an MC at a wedding and didn't have a chance to ruin that so we're ruining the honeymoon by releasing this weeks after we recorded it, Alec was there too. They were so good, people recommended they start a podcast of their own. It won't happen though. Movies are on the mind, Lucas saw Dr. Strange and the multiples of monopoly, it was okay. They are still making Harry Potter films apparently and Tim is being forced to watch them. Lucas went to Bruges again, still hasn't seen In Bruges; meanwhile Tim doles out some life advice to "Suck on tits, take shits and go to bed at a reasonable hour". xxFuckYourMom69xx has sent you a meme, its me, your brother while Tim is a catty daddy with all these purfect puns. Thanks for listening to our podcast, don't forget to like and subscribe and go fuck yourself.

Lululemon pants are featured heavily as Tim makes his first investment in to them and watches the office in them. The boys are up to their usual antics trying to lift as heavy as we can and move F150's with our inner dad strength. When we are inside though we are playing Halo Infinite and watching clips on the internet of the slap that ruined the world. Then sh*t gets real as we talk about microaggressions and mental health, transitioning nicely in to the start of our mental health podcast.

Wow, February was rough, where do we even start? Oh, we know exactly, its more butt bleeding stories for you. So strap in because even though February was short out episode about it isn't. A truck convoy causes an un-equal distribution of force. England cures COVID and so Lucas decides its okay to brag about all the trips he has planned but refuses to pay for sparkling water. Then Tim will rock your world with some incredible history about calendars and that time he puked after surfing too hard. It all falls apart after that but its always worth a listen to your favourite Wonder Boys

Did you watch Spiderman? We did and then we discussed Mexico because that's where Tim was and Lucas has a prime minister who is trying too hard to get fired but won't. Then we take you on an adventure to the tune of sea shanties as we try and perform a u-turn on the highway because after 2 years people still have no idea which orifice they are breathing out of. Another month, another delightful episode of your favourite boiiss (2 c's)

Careless whispers from your boys as we talk about getting our boomer father to do car maintenance for us and as a result have no idea how to do it ourselves. Lucas takes a trip to the dentist and we learn Tim only has 3 wisdom teeth. From there we segue into a monologue about rabbits before discussing the incredible power of the media hype-train and why we all hate Bonnie Henry for no reason whatsoever. Finished off with the discovery that Lucas plays Halo infinite, what a tale. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Tim pitches his business to a real professional and realizes he needs to always be closing. As a result he needed to get some therapy sessions about his potential prostate exams. Meanwhile, anxiety comes in all shapes and sizes so don't downplay yours and feel free to watch Dune in IMAX before you then find out that Halo Infinite is a gateway drug to cocaine. All on this episode with your favourite Boys of WONDER!

Ever wondered how Lucas and Tim wake up in the morning? Coming at you live from our temporarily new studio in Tim's living room, the boys are raging about housing prices, Instagram models and other adult things. Join us for the first episode in 1.5 years, where you'll feel dumber for no reason whatsoever.

This quarantine podcast has everything you live for in an episode recorded during the pandemic. Tim tries to read and Lucas doesn't look at his phone. Tim's fat cat Bobby makes an appearance and we have no social media following as a result.

We have been playing Westworld and watching Red Dead Redemption with nothing but complaints about Instagram models not being able to bake banana bread.

New decade, new bullshit and somewhat older wonder boys who are looking to mature by setting goals and conversing because our parents told us to. This episode we get into currency conversions Tim's inability to work during the winter. Briefly discuss the new Star Wars movie and the amazing montage video that Tim put together for the last time. https://www.wonderboys.ca

This is a solo cast from Lucas doing a dramatic reading of his 2019 blog post that highlights some of his misadventures throughout 2019. You can read the post at www.lucasmain.com/2019 or just give it a listen

This long distance episode is filled with hilarious delays and more fuck ups than all the previous episodes put together. Tim and Lucas dive right into what matters talking about not paying parking tickets, people paying out the wazoo to re-build an old church but no one wants to solve world hunger, Evengers Andgame and what that means for the future of the universe. They are almost able to get through the full episode before Tim spills coffee all over his laptop and forces a restart. Not much is discussed after that.

We're going international. You guessed right sports fans we have Wonder Boys in different countries now. For the first time in 8 months you get to listen to the sultry voices from the Boys of Wonder yet again. Its all about the catch up session this time as they delve into spicy topics like; moving to London, working at a radio station again, changing your PSN name, Brexit, SNC-Lavalin, our father's cool accent, Montreal is a filthy city but its got solid transit, Vancouver has asshole and of course you guessed it STAR WARS! All of this bullshit is brought to you by no one so if you're interested in us butchering your advertising budget, give us a call 1-800-Wonder-Bullshit

The boys are back from another unintentional hiatus. Talking about current topics in the news including Brett Kavanadhakcka, Vancouver Rental Market, Queen Bee and Twitch Streamers making a killing. They touch on some other topics including getting rapey vibes from your potential roomates or how old white dudes woke up during the depression. How far is too far on Instagram and why the fuck do you need to have a conversation with your best friends in the comments section? So many questions, not enough answers - we push the boundaries on this one and boy do we make it sound goooooood!

Drum sets, long delays, the Golden Mile, voice-to-text, seat-savers, place-holders, undecided people, government shut-downs, Cuba, Mission Impossible and a guy named John Donnelly.
