149 – Top 5 Boy Bands & Girl Groups

April 20, 2023 1:51:40 0 Comments

I wanna rank it that way.

If you were born in the 80’s or 90’s you know how much Boy Bands and Girl Groups absolutely dominated the music industry. The fabricated personas of a group of 3-5 individuals were all the rage back then from the cute one, the bad boy, the sporty one, the list goes on and on. While they may not be as popular as they used to be, there’s something primal that happens when you play a song from one of these groups that transports you back to your pre-teen era; and before you know it you are belting out on a karaoke stage and dancing your face off. So this week join Tuong La and Teen Music Heart Throbs Desiree Connors Warmington, Kristine Shadid, and Marc Quintaneiro as they get down, get down, and move it all around while ranking Top 5 Boy Bands and Girl Groups.

145 – Top 5 Ontario Craft Beers

February 23, 2023 01:49:51 0 Comments

Cheers to all Ontario Breweries! 

On a previous beer-filled drunken episode, we ranked Top 5 Budget Beers. This time, the gang decided to level up and get more bougie with their alcohol by ranking craft beers! Craft beer has become increasingly popular over the years as more breweries pop up every single day and Ontario does not mess around when it comes to their booze. The excitement of craft beers come from the sheer variety of brews out there, with fun cans, and flavour profiles. And while drinking craft beer can get expensive, you often get more bang for your buck in terms of quality and alcohol percentage (sorry Pabst Blue Ribbon). So join Tuong La and our favourite idiots at Pull the Plug Justin Godelie, Shannon Godelie, and Justin Briner as they chug down some delicious samples while ranking Top 5 Craft Beers in Ontario!

144 – Top 5 2000’s Songs

February 9, 2023 1:46:03 0 Comments

Holla newbies! We are in the 2000’s now!

We did the 80’s, we did the 90’s, now it’s time to tackle the best music of the 2000’s! The 2000’s was a big turning point in the music industry. With the rise of portable music players (ie mp3 players and the iPod classic) and digital storefronts to download songs, listening to music became easier and more accessible than ever. Because of that, we got a boom in the quantity and quality of songs that came out in this decade from essentially every genre which is what made today’s episode particularly difficult (but not impossible!). So join Tuong La and your “Baller Homeskillets” Axandre Lemours, Colleen Wang, and Victoria Luloff as they bring back “fetch” while getting “crunk” and make a Top 5 2000’s songs list!
