The Catholic Church Wants You To Eat Beaver

Ep. 463

In this episode, we dive into one of the strangest culinary loopholes ever approved by the Catholic Church: the time beaver was classified as fish so it could be eaten during Lent. Yep, you heard that right—furry, dam-building rodents made the menu for pious Canadians looking to stick to their fasting rules. How did this happen? Why did 17th-century Catholic clergy decide beavers belonged in the same category as salmon?

    33:56||Ep. 465
    You know what they say: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. But what happens when you're in Canada? Well, apparently, if you're these two British tourists, you take a perfectly good holiday and turn it into a low-budget crime spree. This week, we break down the bizarre (and incredibly avoidable) misadventures of two UK lads who decided that seeing the Rockies and eating poutine wasn’t enough excitement for them. Instead, they went full GTA: Canadian Edition. What crimes did they commit? They just really bad at being criminals.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

    42:42||Ep. 464
    Buckle up, earthlings, because this week, we’re diving deep into one of the weirdest, sexiest, and most unique religious movements of all time—Raëlism. That’s right, it’s the UFO-based, sex-positive, clone-happy belief system that took la Belle Province by storm in the ‘90s. Move over, poutine—Quebec’s real claim to fame might just be its cosmic commitment to extraterrestrial erotic enlightenment.Echo Podcast Summit!All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

  • 462. The Trump Empire Started In A Yukon Brothel

    32:49||Ep. 462
    Before the Trump name was synonymous with real estate and politics, Friedrich Drumpf—grandfather of U.S. President Donald Trump—was building a fortune in the wild frontier of the Yukon Gold Rush. In this episode, we trace his journey from a small German village to the treacherous mountain passes of Canada, where he discovered that mining the miners—through saloons, hotels, and brothels—was far more profitable than panning for gold. Join us as we explore the untold story of ambition, risk, and vice that laid the foundation for the Trump family empire.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

    34:28||Ep. 461
    In this episode, we dive into Pierre Poilievre’s so-called Common Sense Questionnaire—a form that’s less about gathering opinions and more about reinforcing his party’s narrative. With leading questions and manipulative phrasing, this “survey” feels more like a tool for ideological conditioning than genuine outreach. Is this just another political stunt, or is Poilievre taking a page from the psychological playbook of cult-like persuasion? Let’s break it down and see what’s really going on.Reddit postAll our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

  • 460. Rhys's War Plan To Save Canada

    42:50||Ep. 460
    On his drive home, Rhys had a revelation: Canada needs a plan for when the U.S. inevitably invades. This week, Rhys lays out his entirely foolproof strategy to protect the nation—armed only with half-formed ideas, questionable logic, and a strong belief in Canadian ingenuity. From arming average Canadians Swiss style to recruiting global hackers, it’s a plan that probably wont work.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.
