42 – Hotel Sleepover Funtime! (Hotel Hauntings/Sleep Facts w/ Katerina Theo & Nikki Rochon Kaiser) Nov 22, 2019

Show notes

What do you get when you put three adult women and BFFs in a Days Inn to catch up over Prosecco? F*cking hilarity! And some fun facts! Melody and her old (but obviously very young and hot) Toronto roommates Katerina Theo (of Episode 1) and Nikki Rochon Kaiser (of Episode 33) got together, mic'ed up, and just had the best time ever. Although Kat fell asleep (cause there's always one that falls asleep at the slumber party) she managed first to tell us some wild and crazy stories about happenings in hotels - celebrity and civilian. Nikki talks sleep facts and dispels a nasty internet rumour. Melody tells the girls (well the one that was awake) about haunted hotels. It's a good one! Perhaps even a little raunchier than normal...because Prosecco. Cheers!

41 – Game On! (Videogames w/ J. M. Janzen & Richard Gill) Nov 08, 2019

Show notes

Power up and plug in. Liz is back this week for a gametacular episode featuring her main squeeze JM and his best friend of 20+ years Richard. It also features a lot of animal noises, because Liz and JM live in a zoo. (Please note that all burps and farts may be attributed to said animals.) What a topic; what a world! We discuss favourite childhood video games, widely-held myths about gamers and gaming, and the very nebulous Gamergate of 2014. The boys also explain some internet lingo and phenomena. And we rock out to some sweet video game tunes. Find the podcast at facebook.com/teachmetigerpodcast, instagram.com/teachmetigerpodcast and patreon.com/teachmetigerpodcast. Liz is at lizzography.com and Melody is at melodystarkweather.ca. If you enjoy this podcast, please share it with everyone you know, and leave us a 5 star review on iTunes or wherever you listen! Thank you, merci!!

Oh yeah! It's Liz's big sister Louise Cooper, AKA Coop De Loop or Coop Du Jour, and she's here to have a great time and talk to us about her experiences as one of the original Kingston Roller Derby Girls. She gives us a quick breakdown of the game, tells us how we can get into it ourselves, and reminisces about her own (super badass) derby days. We talk gender, inclusivity, derby names, halftime shows, costumes, injuries and more! Liz also defines "furries" fur any interested parties. Oh yeah, and before we get to any of that, we play a rousing and hilarious game of Icebreakers, which ends in each of us admitting to being "a smelly puddle of urine."
