Ever had a package disappear into the postal void? You're not alone. In this revealing episode, we dive into the bizarre world of international shipping nightmares and questionable authority encounters that will have you nodding in frustrated recognition.
Bobby kicks things off with a tale of being stopped at a 4 AM RCMP checkpoint on a Tuesday morning—a sobriety check at the least likely time imaginable. The conversation quickly turns to his ongoing battle with Canada Post over a custom-made dollhouse replica of his parents' home, currently lost in one of three massive warehouse facilities described as being "like Raiders of the Lost Ark." The postal worker's less-than-reassuring promise? "If we find it, you will get it."
But the postal problems don't end there. Bobby shares the infuriating story of how his university degrees mysteriously vanished—twice—at post offices in the Middle East. First in the UAE, then again in Kuwait, despite using certified mail and tracking confirmation. As he puts it, "Somebody in the Middle East is very educated and getting paid very well for a lot of jobs that they don't deserve."
We then pull back the curtain on the world of professional athlete drug testing, discussing Canadian swimmer Penny Oleksiak's recent suspension for a "whereabouts failure." The conversation reveals how these supposedly random tests often follow exceptional performances, and the lengths some athletes go to avoid testing—including UFC fighter Jon Jones allegedly hiding under a ring for hours. Our candid discussion challenges the public perception of "clean" sports, suggesting that at the highest levels, winners aren't necessarily drug-free—they're just better at timing their cycles.
Whether you've cursed the postal system, raised an eyebrow at law enforcement priorities, or wondered about the reality behind athletic achievements, this episode offers a refreshingly honest look at systems that don't always work as advertised.
