Episode Synopsis

Local grind meets sports soap opera. We kick off with a killer Edmonton founder story—how Drunken Foe went from mom’s recipe to navigating AHS rules, pH tests, and razor-thin margins—then pivot into the week’s sports drama: Ryan’s Austin Cole debrief, a Canadian teen shaking up tennis, MLB history behind the plate, Jays reality check, the WNBA’s money/growth tension (yes, Caitlin comes up), and the NBA’s never-ending headline factory. We land the plane with a no-fluff chat on the Air Canada mess and what labor showdowns actually mean for real people trying to get to work.What you’ll hear: - Edmonton small-biz saga: scaling food without selling your soul - Austin Cole interview takeaways (and Ryan’s “learning the lingo” moment) - Tennis & MLB milestones you’ll actually care about - WNBA growth vs. player pay realities; NBA gossip vs. policy - Blue Jays pulse check that doesn’t sugar-coat - Air Canada & unions: the adult conversation
