Hola, Sneakers! This week, Ian and Dave play with words; feel age creeping up; aren’t excited by a new Ring Trilogy; enjoy old people vs. buses; throw out some new idioms; and chasten tattletales before being joined by regular friends of the show, Vicky Van and Pia Guerra, who dropped by to tell us about Pia going viral; describe their experiences at the Women’s March On Washington; obsess some more about that nasty man, Donald Trump; try to figure out what to do next; admit that Canadians love their Queen; advise you to keep your Facebook friends close and your Facebook frenemies closer; and, finally, ask the important question: do chicks dig metaphors?
Thanks for listening.

My family and I listened to Pia’s interview with Steele and Drex on Vancouver’s local news/talk radio station CKNW this week.

When we watch the news, my mom and I play “How many days without a Trump story?” It’s been “0 days without a Trump story” for months now. I would be great if that could change — and not because his presidency is accepted as the new normal, but because enough awareness is raised to force him out of office.
