RFYL Episode – SimulacrumEP143
It’s been a weird year. If you’re the type of person to not listen to anything I say and only the music I play, good for you; My voice is still in the garbage. That being said, the next two weeks are going to be repeats (probably of this episode), and I’m still considering what I want to happen with the future of RFYL. It’s been a great ten years, it really has. I just don’t know if I’m really in a position to keep doing this anymore.
So, we’ll see. But without skipping a beat, I still bring you one more episode at the very least. Hope the best for you and yours, and signing off this dumpster fire of a year.
To a better 2021.

The Lunchbox Interview: Carol Ann McDevitt (NaturoBee)
I had the opportunity to chat with Carol Ann McDevitt about her brand-new local company, NaturoBee. She explains the origins of the company in scientific research deriving from international observations of bee hive creations, and how that translates into modern products.
Carol Ann was nice enough to offer a discount coupon worth 20% off orders of $10 or more. It applies to orders before December 31, 2020, so it sounds like a good stocking stuffer or New Year’s Eve gift! Listen to hear the coupon code.

RFYL Episode – MistyStepEP142
We’ve made yet another episode just for YOU. Not the “You” as a whole but the “You” that exists entirely as a concept outside of a mass-induced body that can be interpreted as anything but the decision-maker that overwhelmingly chooses which thoughts are valid and which are not.
MY valid thought for the day is that this episode is, in fact, a Holiday episode. Why? Well, you have your own thoughts. You decide!
Yes, in this Choose-Your-Own-Pre-Determined-Adventure episode, we explore a single alleyway with all doors closed, an exit at the end of the hour and actually no choices what so ever.
Though I guess you can decide to listen? So mysterious. MERRY HOLIDAY

RFYL Episode – AuguryEP141
Anyone else feel like your head is full of rocks and you have to consciously remind yourself to keep your head facing forward without a tilt? I’m kind of having a moment over here and I don’t know what it is.
For what it’s worth, we’re going to keep going until it all falls apart again, since I don’t have any other options.

The Lunchbox 2020-12-03: Theatre UNB’s DUELs and DUETs
Today:
- I spoke with Len Falkenstein, Adrian Saliendra and Seth Giberson about the upcoming online presentation of Theatre UNB’s DUELs and DUETs. The show runs from December 3 through December 5 via private YouTube streams.
- The lineup for Duels and Duets, performed by the students of UNB’s Drama 2173, and directed by Len Falkenstein:
- A Curious Incident at the Park in the Daytime by Jeff Lloyd
- Liatorp by Anna Chatterton
- Someone Gets Shot by Jake Martin
- Goblin Market by McKenna Boeckner
- Train Ride by Michael Milech
- Camp by Muriel Falkenstein
- Tubmates by Gordan Mihan
- H.E.A.R.T. by Jean-Michel Cliche
- A Little Wordplay Between Friends by Sarah Higgins
Performances will be ticketed as private YouTube livestreams taking place nightly at 7:30pm from December 3rd-5th, 2020.
Tickets for the performance night of your choice ($10 regular, $8 seniors/underwaged, $5 students) can be purchased at EventBrite.
- The lineup for Duels and Duets, performed by the students of UNB’s Drama 2173, and directed by Len Falkenstein:
- We have another installment of Positive Songs For Pandemics with Lainie B, the host of Monday Night’s B Street. This week it’s the Fountains of Wayne with Valley Winter Song.
- I’ve got two opposing thoughts in my head, so I’ve got two very different songs to end off the episode: Dark of Day by Art Of The Possible, and Lose You by Bleum.
- It’s Make a Gift Day, and while it can seem old-fashioned to create something for the holidays rather than buying them something, I think this year (of all years) really needs that personal touch. Whether its a card or a cardigan, today’s a great day to get started!
- It’s the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, so it’s a good time to look around you, and try to imagine how you can make life better for those who might be struggling.
- Also, consider as the weather gets colder, what it’s like to struggle with one of the basic needs, on Roof Over Your Head Day.
News updates:
- New Brunswick Public Health reported six new cases of COVID-19 yesterday afternoon.
- Parts of southern New Brunswick picked up close to 200 millimetres of rain from an intense low-pressure system this week.
- The New Brunswick Nursing Home Association is calling on the public to help spread some holiday cheer to residents, staff and their families.
- Gas and diesel prices are up across New Brunswick on Thursday.
- Education Minister Dominic Cardy is asking parents living in orange phase health zones to keep sending their children to school.
- New Brunswick’s Opposition Liberals think it’s time the province ditch time changes.
- And Canada’s chief public health officer says a priority list of the COVID-19 vaccinations has to be refined because the initial doses won’t be enough.
