The Lunchbox: Random Acts of Kindness (For Yourself & Others)

LunchBox-DAY-2-TUESDAYToday, it is suggested that we take two contradictory ideas and put them together: do things for others, and do them for ourselves as well.

Pick some things that you want to do, and do them. Then pick a few things you can do for others, and do those. Assert yourself, but remember others. Act selfishly once and a while, but don’t act only for yourself all the time.

Balance, it seems, is the objective, and the third holiday rings it true: Human Spirit Day. Live more than just a job or a duty: live a life. Be someone.

Music today:

  • I’d love to give you everything, including the certainty of the weather, but it’s Not Mine To Give (Samantha Savage Smith from the album Fine Lines);
  • And if we Move Together, we can accomplish great things (Shaun LeBlanc, Kaleidoscope).

In The Know Episode 7

In the Know.jpgFast food is on a lot of peoples minds or stomachs these days, whether it be buying your kid a happy meal to avoid an “unhappy” meal at home, or cutting back on those delicious McDonald’s french fries to lose those stubborn “flabdominal’ muscles that just wont to go away. This episode of The Know is the “Sodium Explodium” forum. We talk about the health risks associated with fast food beyond “ALL THE ANSWERS” you hear from all those experts on other shows. The core issues regarding over-consumption of those tasty Whoppers are exposed, and of course, CBC news articles are referenced.

Michael D. Fryer, a biologist and physiologist from Waterloo University is interviewed, and ironically, he sounds like the nerdy scientist of the Simpsons, a hilarious but serious conversation! There is going to be both laughing and concern after you listen to this one. Those commercials that we need to get on This Hour Has 22 Minutes for me and the cast and crew to act out to give them a desperately needed ratings boost are included, and a parody song so unique and captivating, you’ll be asking questions about the nutrition facts at KFC instead of reading all the answers in the ‘approved fine print’ they give you.

Enjoy, uh!!!!!!

The Lunchbox Interview: Brandon Hicks on NFTC’s Live Audio Theatre Workshop

LunchBox-NFTC-LiveAudioTheatreWorkshopI love drama: on-stage, on audio, on the radio, in a book.

But what about crossing these forms?

The Next Folding Theatre Company prides itself on pushing boundaries and trying new things, as well as giving new playwrights a chance to get their work produced. My guest today is Brandon Hicks, the producer of the upcoming Live Audio Theatre Workshop. We talked about the compression of this three-times-a-year production into a single night, the process of working through the plays, and a description of the two known plays along with a hint at the surprise third production for the night.

Attend the Live Audio theatre Workshop at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre on Wednesday, February 11. The show starts precisely at 7pm, so don’t be late! And you ticket will also qualify you for a free beverage or two, so enjoy the bonus!

2015-02-10 10.24.01

The inaugural episode of Donair Kitchen Party Radio Show with Hank Svec and Mike Nason! Tune in to hear their theories on proper mastication of your favourite regional mystery meat delivered via at least some kind of bread-tube with a sauce that is polarizing at least until the Stockholm Syndrome kicks in! Mike and Hank are as sweet on Donairs as Donairs are on you.

This first episode featured songs on love and loss and how, ultimately, donairs represent a spectrum of emotions. It also featured prominent themes of Maritime alienation and longing. Featured artists included: Yo La Tengo, Best Coast, Al Tuck, The Bicycles, Bob Dylan, The Eagles, Cuff the Duke, Fountains of Wayne, Deerhoof, and Ron Hynes!

In The Know Episode 6

In the Know.jpgManufactures seem to be making their products last shorter amounts of time these days in Canada. A woman buys an I-Phone 5, and only 1 year later, her phone is slow and her charger is broken, but fret not! All she has to do is upgrade to the I-phone 6 to get a new charger!!!! A man finances a Dodge Charger, and only 4 months later, his “Check Engine Light” comes on, and some unexpected electrical fixes need looking at, so the Chrysler Dealership “takes care of it” just like the Mafia does, because we  all know: ITS JUST BUSINESS, forget about it!

This is the “Buy It Then Try It” forum In The Know. Travis Twitter is an Economist teaching at Saint Thomas University right here in Fredericton, the city where nothing ever happens, Lol. He is an expert, and the issue of “Planned Obsolescence”, the process where manufactures deliberately make their products last a short amount of time so we, the good obedient sheep, the consumers, get the latest upgrade sooner than we did in the 1980’s.

Of course, those awesome commercials, soon to be on This Hour Has 22 Minutes will have you chuckling, and an amazing parody song based off of “Oh Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison will have you asking more questions about “Planned Obsolescence” instead of “hearing all the answers” on those other shows!

Enjoy, uh! It’s Joe Canadian, eh!
