Episode 36 – Welcome To The World Of Work

Published November 2, 2019

Well then we’ve got the episode for you! Listen as Adam and Matt recall their epic list of part-time jobs spanning their teenage years. From babysitting, to bait shops and skate sharpening to Sears, our hosts detail the ups and downs of early employment. Plus, Adam shares his visit to the Canadian Forces frigate, the HMCS St John’s, and impressively wasn’t kicked off for acting out scenes from the film Under Siege!

Episode 34 – The End of Summer

Published September 13, 2019

Hello fellow campers!

It couldn’t last forever, Summer ’19 is over and it’s back to school and work! Listen as your hosts share their Summer vacation stories, Adam with his family trip across the ocean to England, and Matt with his family trip into Toronto for Fan Expo Canada. Get the answer to questions such as: Do the brits have have a better grocery system then us? Did Sean Astin shame Corey Feldman in front of a crowd? Is it cheaper to live in the U.K.? Does Steven Seagal really need three bodyguards?  Plus it’s catch-up time on all things pop culture. We’re talking that terrible Spider-man news, the year of Keanu, and even more Marvel announcements for Disney+. Stirring up controversy (and no doubt leading to backlash!), we also have Matt hating on Anime, and Adam hating on Horror films. Plus so much more!  So click on, buckle up and listen in, as we present you another Xennial point of view on The Happy Xen Podcast!

On this episode of The Happy Xen Podcast, we have a very special sit-down interview with entrepreneur Brad Mavin, Owner of 8-Bit Beans, and Deadly Grounds Coffee Canada (as well as our new hero!). Listen as Brad lets us in on how he made his dreams of running his own coffee business come true, as well as injecting in his own passions of horror and gaming. It’s an amazing story and it’s only just beginning. If you don’t walk away with an appreciation for Brad’s work ethic (and a craving for delicious coffee), then you just weren’t paying attention! So click on, buckle up and listen in, as we present you another Xennial point of view on The Happy Xen Podcast!
