Show Notes

First off, apologies for the delay in getting this episode out.

The extra week is because I went camping and a large amount of editing went into this episode. Episode 28 started as our “HR Horror Stories” conversation but completely changed after recording and editing.

After almost an hour of talking about Human Resources, I wanted to talk about difficult conversations. We dialled in my partner’s sister, who is in an ongoing dispute about pigeons with her neighbour and chatted about that. Finally, we discussed what it is to be queer in a place like Alberta, and Joel teaches me what toxic masculinity is. We recorded for a really long time, had quite a few drinks, and ended up with a completely different podcast than we intended to.

I edited out all of the HR stuff because the conversation kept getting better and better. Joel has a gift for explaining things and not getting triggered by my caveman opinions. I enjoyed his perspective, even if it did challenge me at times. It is a complete coincidence that this episode is coming out during pride month, by the way. It is timely, though. I think I’ll try to put a rainbow in the episode’s graphic.

Even if neighbours fighting over pigeons isn’t your thing, stick through and listen to the end of this episode. What Joel says enlightened me, and I hope it does you as well.

Stay Loose Friends,

J. David Keam
