Chewing the Fat

Cannabis enthusiast and rock star chef Pat Newton, takes us on a spiritual journey, detailed with his passion for food, cannabis, and a higher plane. Listen to us discuss the evolution of cooking with cannabis, from a good old batch of weed brownies all the way to infusing sauces and complex meals. This episode wraps up this season with a nice upbeat vibe. See you all for season 3 in 2021. Stay awesome.

This week, my guest Jonny O’Sullivan smashes a ton of information into my brain about living in Africa, the undervalued life of the blue collared worker, climate change, and almost killing the prime minister.

This week, Dark (Eric) and I have an enlightening chat about what the gym has done for us, steroids, the veteran bartender life and, of course, Covid.

With all the negativity going on in the world, I thought I would take the time to tell you all about some important friends I had growing up. From my childhood days, right up until last week when I got a dick tattooed on my leg. Friendships are so important, so cherish the memories you create with the people you love. Even if sometimes they make you do dumb shit. 

This week, my guest Pamela and I discuss obesity vs acceptance. She is a personal trainer , an empath, and a superb human being. The growing issue of obesity, food addiction, and body positivity. I always love having a fan of the show on to host an episode. I’m sure you’ll all enjoy her presence and energy as much as I did. Enjoy !

In todays episode, I share my personal opinion (unfiltered) about Covid, the closing of gyms, restaurants, and the hypocrisy of it all. I love sharing my feelings on these solo episodes, and I hope you stick around until the end for this weeks story time. It's a real rough one. Mom, turn it off before story time. Love you! 

In this weeks episode, my guests Pol and Thomas give us more than their sexy accents. The lads and I discuss mental health, coping with Covid, surviving as actors, and..... man, I don’t even know. Three’s company meets Three Stooges meets the UN. Strap in, and get your Google translate ready. Enjoy!

This week, I have the pleasure of interviewing a lovely human being, who happens to be a sex worker. "Ashley" we will call her, and I talk about the ups and downs and ins and outs (literally) of the industry, as well address some of the stigma associated with it. I am sure she will be back for another couple episodes at least. Sit back and enjoy an absolutely interesting conversation, filled with laughs and entertainment. 

One of my oldest friends, Ludanix, joins me this week to spark one up and discuss our high school experiences. We were very fortunate to have a hodge podge of a group of friends, and we reminisce about the Notre Dame years. This episode flowed too well to make it less than an hour, and it was so much fun to catch up with a dear friend. Enjoy!

In the first episode of season 2, and old friend, Phil talks to me about being an entrepreneur and we relive our days at Ace Mercado. A restaurant we both helped open, it had its ups and downs. The things we learned in restaurants helped shape who we are and how we operate today. He now is involved in an organic tampon company that is about to change the game. Sit back and enjoy an insightful listen in on a couple of Ottawa guys chew the fat.

What a first season! I certainly learned a lot, and I hope you did too. There were some ups, some downs, and a whole lot of f bombs. Re-live some of my favourite moments and lessons from the last season, and I will see you all again next week, for the beginning of season 2. Lots of new hosts and content with plenty of stories and laughs along the way.  Johnny

This week, Dani and I get spiritual and discuss meditation, psychedelics, breath work and... you guessed it. Energy. We end the episode with a session of breath work. It is my first time. Feel free to join in. 

My business partner and close friend, Dom and I discuss various jobs and employment opportunities we have had over the years. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Sit back and have a few relatable laughs.

This episode is a slower paced one, with less "electricity" than normal, due to me feeling like shit. Too many people out there are cowards without any fear of consequences for their words and actions. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Frankly, more people need a good smack in the mouth.

This week, Michael and I discuss cannabis. Or we were supposed to. We decided to get high before and during the episode, so things took some turns and went down some introspective rabbit holes, but essentially we got to where we wanted to be. I think. Listen in and share some laughs, hear some stories, and potentially become an investor in Mike's new water noodle venture. Buckle up, this is an interesting one.

My guest, Dom and I discuss why he loves horror movies, while I absolutely hate them. Clowns, zombies, jump scares and shitting the bed. Enjoy.

Another solo episode! Talking about why I love tattoos, some stories behind some of my pieces, why you should never touch someone’s ink without consent, and much more!

Chatting with Tim about being a mama’s boy. Filled with shared laughter and stories about our awesome moms, and why it is so important for a man to have a healthy relationship with his mother.

This week, Rachel and I discuss various dating apps, plastic surgery, sending nudes, and sex toys. This is a long one. The content was too good. Enjoy!

This week, my first guest host, Brendan and I go off about Instagram, its “influencers”, Tik Tok, Catfishing, OnlyFans and more.

How to act in a bar. A harsh take on the lack of common sense that is demonstrated by most of the general public.

A little introduction regarding myself and what this podcast is about. It’s all fun and games until someone is offended. And then it’s a sport. We have lost our drive to speak our minds for fear of offending the masses. The whole point of freedom of speech is... freedom. I plan on using mine. Enjoy. Or don’t . That is up to you.
