Do you enjoy a little "action / adventure" with your White House Correspondents Dinner?  Well, have we got an episode for you!  

A special note to y'all from your amateur clinical pundit: Having completed the writing and recording of episode six, season five, I was overseas on vacation. This episode was to be a short history of The White House Correspondent's Dinner to be dropped just before the WHCD on April 25. This year's WHCD was to be the first that MOTUS would attend as president - as he refused his invite to the previous five. That said, we kn...

We end season 4 with a lovely departure...a full length interview with author & broadcaster Carol Off. She is the former host of CBC's flagship show "As it Happens" where she interviewed 25,000 people in 16 years...Carol has the view of  a sage from 30,000 feet. Buckle up for take Off.

For those of you who have been the Yes We Canada party faithful for the past five years, you may remember that we did an episode that was called "Not the 51st State, Y'all".  It streamed first on January 12, 2021 and explored the vast differences between the United States and The Canada. It was written and produced at a time when, unlike today, the people who ran the White House were not Non compos mentis.

In picking his cabinet Donald Trump made one commitment to himself.  "I will be the smartest person in the room".  Pretty low bar Don...

AI is coming for us all so I want to introduce you to my new bot friends. I call them Chloe and Cody. They have a bodcast about our podcast.   I like to think of them as very professional announcers and yet… deeply attracted to each other, but currently in other relationships.  So, there’s always an electric sexual tension between them in the studio…the wanton want…the unfulfilled desire, their knobby bot knees touching inconspicuously under the recording console …

Chloe’s cheeks blush, as she feels a wisp of oily perspiration roll down her metallic cleavage. Cody...

My dear American progressives, 

You know when you get all frustrated with your country and say shit like, "that's it, I'm moving to Canada?" Well, 'movin' to Canada is not as easy as it sounds.  

But because we are so grateful for your support and so tremendously concerned about your future, you know, once Trump gets re-elected and frees the 700 January 6th 'hostages/political prisoners', we thought you might need some legal counsel .  So we booked you a lawyer, on us.

There are so many misdoings a foot that our boy Donny John might just be misdone.

You see Mike was your vice president for four years.  You may not have noticed him, he was usually sitting ever slightly behind President Donald J. Trump’s right shoulder, staring beatifically off into the middle distance, his brow slightly furrowed, his expression one of deep admiration as his leader spoke, and told yet another lie to the American people.

So, you pivoted yet again and started calling your insurrection ; “legitimate political discourse”.
