A long overdue update regarding the adventurous, whimsical and interesting lives of your hosts.
After losing a significant number of podcasts to an evil virus, Calvin and Jeremy are back. Listen in to catchup on the many new things that have been happening in their world.
Jeremy joins a band.
Calvin has a run in with the law.
Listen to find out what happens next.

Talk about a retrospective episode! The RV, Lily, emerges from the ice after a long and harsh winter. It's as if the thing had been frozen since 1979, and flashed 40 years into the future not aging a day. If the Delorian from “Back to the Future” had a baby with the Manfred the mammoth from Ice Age, it would be the RV.
Hopefully they previous owner of Jeremy's house encounters a similar situation so he can come back to life and open his Purolator package.
Calvin is still debating buying life insurance to ensure his family is taken care of, even after a near death experience where his life may or may not flashed before his eyes.
Oh! and to top it off Jer is well under way his summer camp glory days podcast, and Calvin got a peek into the future of what camp will be like for little Noah.
Calvin’s new found infatuation with local animals has the guys planning their next adventure. The current idea to beat? Find the "Golden Goose" of the North - The Polar Bear. This seems like a perfect adventure for the two. Calvin is already a proud member of the polar bear club, and Jeremy has developed an addiction to Coca-Cola which we all know comes from Santa at the North Pole.
This could be an adventure that collides with destiny, and both have high hopes to walk away from the experience with more respect for the creature, and a gorgeous fur poncho.
This week on the pod listen close to exclusive, never uttered until now “parenting advice” from Calvin Berry. Is it worth anything? Since he has had such vitriol toward people who offer this advice, we also ask "WHY NOW?"
Jeremy then reflects on his glory days as high school valedictorian, and goes over plans for his 10 Year Reunion party. Cue up "Whatever You Like" by T.I and get ready to party! He is CERTAIN that his graduating class was way more special than any other grade at his school.
Jeremy also shares his best cocktail-party small talk story. Behold the art of the perfectly refined, meaningless story, as told by a master.
Calvin is addicted to beer. Jeremy just got back from a margarita induced bender of a vacation and keeps blabbering on about how he will never EVER set a goal again
What the h-e-double hockey sticks happened this month?
This week the fellas discuss these things and more. Calvin joined a badminton league and Jer goes on about reading the first and last chapter of a self-help book.
A candid and unfiltered conversation between two friends... nay, brothers! This episode is basically an out of control roller coaster of emotion that twists and turns from one topic to the next.
Calvin is back from a LONG sabbatical from his life (which is basically already a never-ending vacation in Cottage Country). Meanwhile, in his absence, Jeremy got sucked into purchasing a $5.99 poker app, and has not disclosed how much he has spent on in-app purchases...
On this episode we make an effort to wrap-up the year by discussing some of our accomplishments, along with our multitude of failures.
We also share our Spotify "Wrapped" Lists, which clearly hold the answers to the universe of our place in it. In 2019, Calvin will be consulting Cardi-B for guidance and wisdom, while Jeremy will try to find meaning in lyric-less music. Cheers 2018, thanks for being good to us.
What was intended to be a mini episode to keep us close to our 1st and 15th release schedule turned into this 30 minute conversation about Christmas, boutique stores and what to do when your colleague walks into the bathroom and starts talking.
The guys just got back from their trip to Pittsburgh and wanted to share some stories. The BC Roadshow and company were both great. Despite the many challenges faced on the road, the gents emerged victorious. Though they put up a great fight, the broken belts did not win the day.
if you're anything like us, you probably get more comments about smelling bad than you do good... There must be a better way!
There's more than meets the nose when it comes to bodily scents, so we invited expert alchemist and curator Douglas Smythe of Phoenix Shaving Co. to walk us through his world of artisan accoutrements.
From refining his own essential oils, to blowing our minds on how to actually shave correctly, we were blown away with the amount of detail and thought that goes into each and every product Doug and his team are creating.
Tune in for a great conversation about the history of shaving, and how you can find more adventure in your life by taking time for some sweet sweet self care.

Here's a link to his YouTube show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv3quWHkQ2hPGpYRUp7gpng
There are those who grill, and there are those who BBQ. And no, they are not “kinda the same thing”. One represents dedication to a craft as old as meat itself, and the other is merely the act of searing horizontal lines on a frozen patty or tube of pork scraps.
Today on the pod we are talking with Shawn Walchef, owner of Cali Comfort BBQ. Shawn is a rebel in his state, bringing authentic southern BBQ to a place that mostly just appreciates fish tacos, poke bowls and Americanos: Southern California!
We really only scratch the tip of the ribeye with Shawn, but still managed to get some incredible insight from his journey into the fascinating world of BBQ.

Join the boys this week for an early AM interview with a world champion kitesurfer. What did you do while eating your Eggos this morning??
Sebastian has been strapped to a kite since he was in primary school and has seen the sport evolve into the monster it is today. He first got into the sport with a small group of pioneers in Northern Germany on the Baltic Sea. Since then, Seb has kited all over the world, water and snow. Nicht schlecht!

Good news - the old RV is once again being Frankensteined!
Don't get me wrong, regular Easter is important, but this spring Calvin and Jeremy are also celebrating a mini-Easter for the resurrection of their broken down RV!
When the boys find out that the legendary Rudy Enns is helping doctor the RV back to life, this bleak spring starts to look quite promising.

This week on the podcast, the guys discuss a VERY interesting new element of the never ending RV saga. They are determined to get the ol' girl back on the road by any means necessary.

Jeremy also sets the expectation for his next upcoming work adventure. Thinking about all the drone possibilities really revs his engine.

This week we are excited to welcome Gabe Nunez to talk about the adventure of Parkour, Freerunning and performing Hollywood STUNTS.
www.tempestacademy.com/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2951500/
"Gabe Nunez is a Professional Stuntman and founder of Tempest Freerunning and the Tempest Freerunning Academy in Los Angeles, California. Born and raised in El Paso, Texas Gabe was involved in almost every traditional sport available to him. In Highschool his love for basketball turned into a love for break-dancing that eventually led to Martial Arts, Tricking and Gymnastics. After moving to Las Cruces, NM for college he quickly realized his passion was for any and all types of movement. Having graduated with a Bachelors degree in criminal justice, all he could think about was those Jackie Chan movies he grew up watching, so he decided to put one career on hold in order to chase a new possibility of becoming a Hollywood Stuntman. In 2007 Gabe moved to Los Angeles California and quickly began learning the ropes while pushing his Freerunning skills to new heights. His first film was Adam Sandler's You Don't Mess With the Zohan, and since then he has had the amazing opportunity to work on films such as Expendables, Total Recall, Battleship, Ted, After Earth, 300: Rise of an Empire, and most recently doubling Taylor Laughtner in the film Tracers. His favorite being Total Recall where he doubled Colin Farrell on the film and performed a large variety of stunts ranging from fights and falls to wire work and parkour. Since he started he has had the privilege of working with some of Hollywoods best Stuntmen and Women as well as train some big name actors such as Jaden Smith, Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Biel, Colin Farrell, Taylor Laughtner, Izabella Miko, and Marie Avgeropolous. It's safe to say Gabe has enjoyed the every moment up to this point. Happy as a clam but ready to go HAM, Gabe eagerly awaits the next one!"

Why oh why isn't there any amazing baby gear for dads?!
This is something that Calvin has lamented about for ages. Well, at least since he and his wife started amassing baby stuff for their son. So when we found out about Mission Critical, a company that makes military grade baby gear for dads, we had to find out more.
Turns out that the founder of the company, Andrew Wollenberg, is not only a great entrepreneur , but also a serious adventurer. Tune in for a great conversation about way more than just baby stuff.

Ahhh the simple pleasure of slowing down to smell the coffee and truly breathe in the quickly passing moments that only the present can offer... AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT! When was the last time you took a day or two to slow down? I mean REALLY slow down?
On the show this week are some people who have opted for a permanent slow down to pursue more fulfilling adventures. We have the founders of The Edward Bed and Breakfast on the show to chat all about why they decided to leave the big city behind for a different kind of life.
Web: www.theedward.ca Insta: @TheEdwardPEC FB: @TheEdwardPEC Read their online journal! The latest post is on how to make Homemade Maple-Cinnamon Granola. YUM.
"Prince Edward County is a prime getaway spot; only a few hours drive from Toronto and Ottawa, you can quickly pack up the car to spend the weekend roaming through vineyards and picnicking at the beach. They say there is something about this place, and we couldn’t agree more. Not everyone wants to uproot their life to live here full-time, but you can certainly enjoy a slice of this lifestyle at The Edward, and boy is it sweet. We live in big, bustling cities all over the world and work in high-traffic retail and massive companies. We climb figurative ladders and live off the high of our achievements. Yet, the weekends can’t come soon enough. Vacations almost always feel over before they begin. It can take days to slow down, and when we finally do, we realize we haven’t taken a deep inhale or lengthy exhale in months. – Take a deep breath – – Embrace slow living – We truly believe well-being stems from a slower pace of life—where you take a moment here and there to disconnect from the hustle, listen to the sound of the wind in the trees, and take a meaningful breath. Although there is something to be said for city life, when we look across the field to the wild tree line and see a family of deer stroll by, we are reminded why people keep coming back to the County. We want to share this with you."
541 Eatery & Exchange is an amazing place. They are an eatery where fresh, home cooked meals and baked goods are made. They are also a place of exchange where ideas are shared and where people can engage with one another.
We chat with Sue Car, the Executive Director, about everything 541. It's an exciting and inspring conversation! Tune in, and then go it and buy some buttons.

This week on the podcast we chat about a couple different trips we've been on recently. For me (Calvin), it was a long weekend bachelor party to Vermont with 12 dudes. For Jeremy, back to back business trips to Germany and Beautiful British Columbia
Now travelling in the lap luxury means different things to different people. It's all about setting goals and strategically executing with brilliance. So while Jeremy tries to tally up enough miles on Air Canada to gain access to their elite flyers lounge, I'm satisfied when we're simply able to get 7 bodies across the border in the RV without cavity searches.
We dive into some nitty gritty details about how we're always able to find adventure while travelling no matter what the purpose, destination, or company.

Where on earth does one begin when talking about a guy like Graeme Jenvey?
Graeme is a true jack of all trades. If he isn't out filming and photographing some of the most beautiful cars in the world, you can be sure he is tending to his colony of buzzing bees. If he's not doing that, he is probably making furniture. Oh, and if you can't find him in his shop, he is likely out flying his drone with his dog by his side.
Graeme recently began to document his many adventures with (basically) daily VLOGS. You can find his YouTube channel here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8H6K2cXDv7rGoOc6eDHSQw.
On the podcast, we hear some crazy stories about his adventures, and talk about what has motivated Graeme to get off the couch and live an adventure every day.

Jeremy Worley... He's a guy who could hack into the government's security system and steal classified intellectual property, rendering The Man utterly defenceless and leverage-less as he coerces Secret Service agents to paint a giant smiley face on the White House lawn.
Ok... maybe that's a little ridiculous, but that's how his mind works. Jeremy is a "creative" - and a busy one at that. Jeremy has started his own design company (theworley.co), and started a co-working space (welcomefellow.com), all while holding down a full time job. Jeremy does business, art, and life differently, and his mantra of "goods that do good" colours everything he does.
Tune in as we discuss drive, working with intention and, of course, his tips on the challenge of learning how to find adventure in the everyday.
