#2 New World

Its a brave new world, our second episode recorded in late march just as Covid-19 had fully shut down the entire world economy!
The systems in place that are collapsing now, are tell tale signs of even greater fault lines in the system itself. If covid 19 hadent happened many aspects of what we consider normal either i.Would eventually fall apart either way, however sped up they are by the pandemic & or ii.Would not but should, must and we are struggling so that they do fall apart. The systemic racism, the classism, inequality & nothing less than war crimes that are implemented on a global scale while commodotized masses dredge on for shareholders cannot and will not hold.
As a comedian I am not , will not and cannot waste any time with dumb safe, clean and stale knock knock jokey jokes. That dont have a purpose. On stage I provoke, spark and force ideas of change and truth telling. This podcast is no different. These long form discussions and fleshing out of ideas. Pre Covid, we may just be some Canadian idealists sitting around our liberal inflated bubbles talking shit, but todays world is one where rapid change is happening all around us, must happen fast and smart but above all must be implemented in a way so that we dont just end back to the old ways of sugar coated racism and infighting non unified divisionism. Its time to unite, and to be an agent for good. Its time to Activate the Sleeper cell.
