Dropbear and Panda Save Canada

In this episode, Dropbear and Panda go coast to coast exploring Canada’s most oversized and absurdly tiny attractions — from giant lobsters and paperclips to six-seat chapels and taxidermied gopher dioramas. With Cold Garden’s Mango Ranch Water in hand, they debate whether Alberta’s “big stuff” obsession is overcompensation, whether Drumheller’s T. rex is technically “real,” and how aliens are apparently welcome to land in St. Paul, Alberta. Expect laughter, tangents, a diagnosis of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, and a heartfelt celebration of how Canadians turn civic pride into creative weirdness. 🍺 Sponsor Shoutout Cold Garden Beverage Company – featuring the Mango Ranch Water Drink of Wonder. (“Usually it’s destiny, but we’ve had enough destiny for one lifetime.”) 🗺️ Key Topics & Highlights 🦖 Canada’s Big Honkin’ Things Kipling, Saskatchewan – World’s Largest Red Paperclip Inspired by Kyle MacDonald’s “paperclip to house” story. 15 feet, 2 inches tall, 3,000+ lbs. Proof that small ideas can grow huge. “Twinches matter.” Drumheller, Alberta – World’s Largest Dinosaur “Tyra” the T. rex is 26.2 metres tall and for sale (!). You can climb inside and look out from her mouth. Alberta holds the national record for roadside giants — over 100. Panda: “We’ve got the biggest small-dick energy in Canada.” Glendon, Vegreville & Mundare – Ukrainian Pride Trio World’s largest Perogy (with giant fork), Pysanka (Ukrainian Easter egg), and Kielbasa. Alberta’s Ukrainian communities showing how heritage meets kitsch. Shediac, New Brunswick – World’s Largest Lobster 35-foot-long, 90-tonne concrete beast. 500,000 annual visitors; cost $170,000 to build. Panda: “I’d eat that… if it weren’t made of cement.” Nackawic, New Brunswick – World’s Largest Axe Built in 1991 when the town was named Canada’s Forestry Capital. 15 metres tall, stainless steel, with a time capsule in the axe head. St. Paul, Alberta – World’s First UFO Landing Pad Built for Canada’s 1967 Centennial; welcomes “visitors from Earth or otherwise.” Panda: “Aliens, now you know where to land — they’ve even got a Smitty’s.” Includes UFO Pizza (4 stars, probably from aliens). Wawa, Ontario – The Wawa Goose 28-foot steel Canada goose built to lure travellers back off the Trans-Canada. Beloved roadside icon for generations. Its cousin: Mac the Moose (Moose Jaw, SK) – reclaimed tallest-moose title from Norway after getting bigger antlers. Duncan, BC – World’s Largest Hockey Stick Built for Expo ’86, later destroyed by woodpeckers and weather. Sparked Dropbear’s revelation: he has megalophobia (fear of oversized things). “Turns out, I’ve got Alice in Wonderland Syndrome.” Wabamun, Alberta – Giant Dragonfly Made from recycled airplane parts. Symbol of rebirth and a post-coal future. 🐿️ Small but Mighty – The Mini Marvels Torrington Gopher Hole Museum (AB) 77 stuffed gophers in 44 dioramas (school, church, hockey, etc.). 10,000 annual visitors, run by volunteers. “Like Night at the Museum meets Watership Down.” Living Water Wayside Chapel (Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON) 72 sq. ft., seats six, open 24/7. “The tiniest place to repent for your road trip snacks.” The Little Prince Cinema (Stratford, ON) 13 seats, Guinness-certified smallest cinema in the world. Hosts micro-weddings and screenings from 1914–today. Cardigan, PEI – World’s Smallest Library 3.5 x 3.5 metres, holds 1,800 books. Run by John A. MacDonald and his daughter — lifetime membership: $5. Tiny Jails (Rodney, Tweed, Coboconk, ON) Built during Prohibition; basically Canadian drunk tanks. “Most Canadian correctional system ever — you just leave when you’re sober.” Vulcan, Alberta – Smallest Starships Starship-shaped streetlights. Panda: “Not named after Star Trek, but definitely embraced it.” 🧠 Why Canadians Build Big and Tiny Stuff Community pride: “We exist — look, we built a 30-foot sausage.” Tourism marketing: Gives small towns something to brag about. Economic...

Grab your pickaxe (or at least a Timbits box) because this week Dropbear and Panda are diving headfirst into Canada’s most legendary treasure tales. What We Talk About The Lost Lemon Mine A cursed gold vein hidden somewhere near Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. Two prospectors—Frank Lemon and Blackjack—strike it rich, but greed and paranoia lead to moida (yes, moida). The result? A shallow grave, a vanishing mine, whispers of Indigenous warnings, and over a century of treasure hunters who ended up lost, dead, or a little unhinged. The Oak Island Mystery Off Nova Scotia’s coast lies the infamous “Money Pit,” where teenage curiosity sparked 200+ years of obsession. From coconut fibres to cryptic stones, and from Spanish coins to wild theories (Knights Templar, Marie Antoinette’s jewels, aliens, haunted Denny’s), the search has cost millions of dollars, at least six lives, and spawned endless seasons of reality TV. Curses, Ghosts, and Gold Fever We unpack why Canadians love these stories, how folklore feeds on fear and greed, and why humans can’t resist holes in the ground with bad juju. Tasting Notes This episode is fuelled by Cold Garden’s lime ranch water—possibly the best one yet. Key Takeaways Blackjack just wanted to carve spoons. Never dig a suspicious hole. Just throw your wallet in and walk away. If there was treasure, it’s probably long gone. But the legends? They’re priceless.

This week on Dropbear and Panda Save Canada: Podcast of Destiny, we’re cracking open a cold one and taking a wild, hilarious ride through the Great White North’s most badass, bizarre, and world-changing inventions. From the zipper to the pacemaker, peanut butter to IMAX, we’re spilling the maple syrup on the who, what, and WTF of Canadian ingenuity. 💡 Ever heard of Reginald Fessenden? No? He invented AM radio and broadcast a violin solo from a boat on Christmas Eve. You’re welcome, Spotify. 🏀 James Naismith invented basketball so kids wouldn’t fight inside. They still did, but now it’s a billion-dollar league. 🎞️ Canadians invented IMAX. Because regular movies weren’t loud, big, or nausea-inducing enough. 🧠 And yes, we talk about insulin, the paint roller, garbage bags, and why the Creeping Barrage isn’t a bad Tinder date — it’s a brilliant WWI strategy. We also dive into the Rolling Barrage, a coast-to-coast motorcycle ride raising awareness for PTSD — and clear up the confusion with that other convoy that definitely didn’t invent anything useful. 🍻 Sponsored By: Cold Garden This episode is proudly powered by Cold Garden, the dog-friendly psychedelic brew pub in Inglewood, Calgary.

Our previous season made a huge splash across the globe; we received numerous award nominations, distributed a lot of socks, and made a genuine effort to save the world! Now look at it!! Erm.... yeah, okay. The world is vast, and it was hard to save the entire planet. This time we thought we'd start small, like... 9.985 square kilometres small. Does Canada need saving? Not really, but it deserves a lot of love and attention, and that's what we're all about. Dropbear and Panda Save Canada. A new season powered by Canadian stuff. We love Canadian stuff. Music by Emre Chords at ChillKill Studio.

When UFOs show up and barely make it on the radar (no pun intended) that’s definitely… something to think about. Over some good gin and a new sock jingle, of course!

We've got two reviews today - and we’re not angry with one, per se… just disappointed. Which (if we take any cue from our parents) is worse than being mad. Much, much worse.

The most important question we have to ask ourselves - Is Panda’s no taste and smell strong enough to withstand a chicken cooked by a robotic slapping machine? Our podcast isn’t just about the science of slapping chickens this week; we also talk about DMX and Prince Philip, agonize over Eivor’s bird-eyes in AC Valhalla, and vow to send a Sock Rocket package to The Good Neighbour Project.

We review Bigfoot Family: the most controversial, dangerous movie ever to grace our Albertan television screens. Never before have we witnessed anything so…. Wait, is that a jive-talking raccoon??

Thanks (?) to our knack for reviewing bad movies, we were asked to review “CAPONE”… and boy, was it ever… a thing... that we did. Sort of. The Alberta War Room attacks an animated film for children, we praise two gentlemen in Fukushima who care for pets left behind, and we have a new sock jingle!

We’re back after 4 weeks off - but THE SHOW MUST GO ON - albeit a little short of breath, but un-isolated this time, and just in time to completely ignore Valentines Day. We discuss how Panda’s Covid prognosis quickly went downhill, plus Gorilla Glue hairdos and toothpaste mohawks, how to escape deserted islands with or without a TV crew, and we think back to those who saved our world over the last month.

This week we go remote because Dropbear and Panda have been separated by COVID-19. Yep. Poor Panda caught ‘The Vid’ at her work in Health Services and is finding the positives in her positive; Dropbear has been living in isolated exile to ensure it doesn’t spread. So this week we’re doing the podcast via ZOOM. Not ones to be downers, we found some fun news about some out-of-this-world samosas, honest menus, and food that is horrible to put in your mouth if you can’t taste or smell it.

We do our best to do a quick review of 2020 without going completely insane - is THAT what gave Panda a headache? Or was it all the cookies she ate during quarantine? At least we isolated, unlike… Canadian politicians. What will 2021 bring? Aliens, probably. Do these aliens have feet? Do they wear socks? We hope so! We’d love to give them some socks.
