211. The Intimacy Coordinator

Your Three Dogs (our proposed name for a new wholesome TV series) were hanging around in the Shed the other month and got talking about work KJ is taking on, a litany of various dramatic and sporting amusements we’ve been watching, our health, and goings-on in the neighbourhood. RJ’s neighbourhood specifically, as he reveals that he has become a Block Watch Captain. PJ is disappointed to learn that the position does not come with an intimidating uniform, nor with training that involves jumping out of helicopters, but still…he’s a Captain! This achievement is all the more remarkable as we also learn about a long-ago run-in with seemingly innocuous freon, which is not quite the lamb we all thought it is.&nbsp;Episode 210 has more, of course, there’s always more, but we’re hoping this note is inviting enough for you to join us in The Shed!&nbsp;Links: <a href="https://sheddogs.ca">Shed Dogs</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@DrainCleaningAUSTRALIA">Bruce the drain cleaner</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonia">pneumonia</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freon">freon</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livraria_Lello">Livraria Lello</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Gatsby">The Great Gatsby</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Queen%27s_Gambit_(miniseries)">The Queen’s Gambit</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diplomat_(American_TV_series)">The Diplomat</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Country_for_Old_Men">No Country For Old Men</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fargo_(TV_series)">Fargo (TV Series)</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_Attorney_Woo">Extraordinary Attorney Woo</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Scherzer">Max Scherzer</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Northern_Super_League_season">Northern Super League</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube">YouTube</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@ausarmour">PJ’s favourite tank restoration channel</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://localtraumaclean.com/traffic-accident-cleanup/">this company cleans up after collisions</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.burnaby.ca/services-and-payments/community-safety/block-watch">Burnaby Block Watch</a>.Theme music is <a target="_blank" href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Komiku/Poupis_incredible_adventures_/Komiku_-_Poupis_incredible_adventures__-_54_Escaping_like_Indiana_Jones/">Escaping like Indiana Jones</a><a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Komiku/Poupis_incredible_adventures_/Komiku_-_Poupis_incredible_adventures__-_54_Escaping_like_Indiana_Jones/"> by Komiku, with permission</a>.

How the TV show financing sausage is made, music, The Grocer's Wife, and snappers

209. Take a meeting

Some topics are so deep, so wide, and so fundamental to who we are as a species that broaching them invites chaos. But if your Dogs won’t talk about it, who will, we ask you? Here in Episode 208, we take on such a topic: the fine art of soccer diving: archer’s bows, delayed collapses, endless rolling, astonishing recoveries, and why the refs never seem to catch on. We also get to hear from theatre insider KJ about&nbsp;Burning Mom’s triumphant run and about a rediscovered stash of 1975 London cassette letters to home. We also have PJ’s reminiscences about a Honda CR500 dirt bike that still raises heart rates, and from RJ a full tour of the new foosball‑friendly Mench Café.&nbsp;There’s yet another million dollar idea awaiting an enterprising listener, some Listener Mail, a great PSA on sun damage to skin, and even more… Dive right in with us!Links: <a href="https://sheddogs.ca">Shed Dogs</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_%28association_football%29">diving</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Falling_Soldier">The Falling Soldier</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.timescolonist.com/entertainment/adventurous-widow-at-heart-of-hilarious-one-hander-burning-mom-11416523">Burning Mom</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://ctora.ca/productions/west-side-story">West Side Story</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CR_series">Honda CR500</a>; a <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_Granturismo">Saab two-stroke sports car</a>; the <a target="_blank" href="https://menchcafe.com">Mench Café</a>; <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal-cell_carcinoma">basal cell carcinoma</a>.Theme music is <a target="_blank" href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Komiku/Poupis_incredible_adventures_/Komiku_-_Poupis_incredible_adventures__-_54_Escaping_like_Indiana_Jones/">Escaping like Indiana Jones</a> by Komiku, by permission.

208. The Midnight Ride of KJ Dog

Maybe it was talking about Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, or possibly giggling about potential Pope names. Maybe it was going back to the halcyon days of KJ’s time on Stargate or his trip to see his Texan cousins as they visited Vancouver Island. Maybe it was the warm flush of joy that getting Listener Mail always brings. We don’t really know just what it was,&nbsp;but KJ’s revelation that his (t)rusty 1964 International TravelAll has finally, after 47 years in his service, crossed the toll-free bridge to the Great Garage in the Sky brought back a lot of memories and feelings that the Shed isn’t often witness to. Mostly pretty great memories and feelings, I’ll add. Share them with us. We know of at least one faithful listener who had a similar road trip with a very faithful Toyota.
