Oh, Deer...

Episode Thirty-Five - How Ryan Got His Groove Back

Episode 35 of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage is here!

This one's sponsored by Recovery Lab, and features a great interview with Part-Owner and President of Recovery Lab, Larry Lowe - or as we prefer to call him, the King of the Cold Tub. We learned A LOT about sport recovery and how our bodies work... and you will too!

We also talk about a great new partnership with the Red Deer & District Chamber of Commerce, the best things about Red Deer, and then cap things off with a grueling test on Australian lingo... led by a special guest from Down Under.

So don't be a drongo, mate... have a listen!

*NOTE* - As of July 2024, the Oh, Deer podcast is no longer affiliated with Red Stag Babershop

Episode Thirty-Four - "No Cap"

Happy New Year! The first episode of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage of 2024 is here!

Alberta Asian Motorworks & Alberta European Motorworks are back again as our Episode 34 sponsor, which means our friend Mike Pasman returns the show once again to talk all things cars, Red Deer business, and some other random stuff... as per usual.

You'll also get all the details on the 'Fit or Quit' Challenge - a six week fitness competition between Ted, Dustin and Lund... with a whole lot on the line. On top of that, we hear some of our listener's predictions for the top news stories of 2024, while we make some predictions of our own in a game of 'Bad News Bingo', AND we get a lesson in some Gen-Z lingo slang from Lund... and that's no cap.

 

Episode Thirty-Three - Don’t Call It A Comeback

Welp. Here goes nothing... again. The podcast nobody asked for is back... and as mediocre as ever! (And still presented by Bo's Bar & Stage)

We celebrated the two year anniversary of Oh, Deer by (seemingly) saying goodbye to the podcast forever, so why not celebrate our three year anniversary by bringing it back?

In this (sort of) reuinion episode, Ted, Lund, Walsh, Co-Worker Erin and Andrew (Dustin called in sick) return to Communal Creative Studios by Bo's for the first time in over year to catch up on everything that's happened since our last episode. PLUS, we get to meet a new member of the podcast, Kevin Strybosch - AKA The Athlete/Uncle Meat. Enjoy!

Episode Thirty-Two - Welp. See Ya Later!

Sigh. Here it is, the FINAL episode of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage.

We decided to go out the only way we know how... talking about ourselves for nearly two hours. BUT, we also invited a bunch of friends along to talk about us too!

This may be the end of the podcast, but it's not the end of Oh, Deer... make sure you're following us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube for more content in the future!

We can't thank everyone enough for supporting our little podcast... the last two years were absolutely incredible. Since there's more than enough mushy stuff in the episode itself, that's all we're going to say here.

Welp... see ya later!

 

Episode Thirty-One - Mayor Quips & Hot Chips

Episode Thirty-One of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage, is the second-last episode of the podcast EVER, and the final 'formal' episode... but what a way to go out!

Against his better judgement, Red Deer's own Mayor Ken Johnston joined us for our last-ever (that's going to be a theme here) interview, and he did not disappoint. Positive, candid and funny... he's everything you could hope for in a guest... and a Mayor.

We also answered your 'Ask Us Anything' questions, and went about as off the rails as you'd expect. AND, we finally wrapped up the Oh, Deer Showdown as Ted, Lund and Walsh (bravely joined by Co-Worker Erin, the Athlete and Mike Pasman) completed the One Chip Challenge. (If the audio doesn't do it justice, check it out on YouTube)

We'll be back to say our final farewell with our LAST EVER episode of the Oh, Deer Podcast on December 11. So until then... enjoy whatever this is!

Episode Thirty - Hold for Applause

Two episodes in the span of a month? We're on fire!

Episode 30 of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage is sponsored by the Red Deer & District Chamber of Commerce, and features on-location interviews with the six winners of the 2022 Red Deer Business of the Year Awards!

It's also the first time the whole gang has been back together at Communal Creative Studios since early Spring, so it's suffice to say things got off the rails early and often.

You'll hear all about a whole bunch of other stuff too (spoiler alert), incl;uding the conclusion of the Oh, Deer Showdown. What a time to be alive!

Episode Twenty-Nine - Moisten Up (This Guy Gets It)

After an extended Summer break, Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage is not only back... but it's back in Lund's basement for an unintended throwback.

Episode 29 is sponsored by Beyond Insurance... our first two-time Episode Sponsor! Owner Matt Cassidy joins us once again to drop some new insurance tidbits on us, and discusses his time as the Board President of the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce. 

You'll also get an (unneccesary) recap of everyone's Summer, a deep-dive into everyone's favourite concerts, and a music-themed game... although we use the term music very loosely.

Welp... see you in another three months!

Episode Twenty-Eight - The Ambivalent Hypmotist

After an unplanned three-month hiatus, Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage is finally back! Did you miss us? Probably not... but that's ok. 

Episode 28 features a long-overdue crossover interview with Patrick Bateman and Peter Michaels from The Road The Stage, the flagship podcast of Communal Creative Studios, which focuses on highlighting incredible musicians from across Canada. (24:49 - 1:03:41)

There's also a lot of catching up to do - new babies, new jobs, Summer of Lund, and more... but still a lot of the same old crap. And yes, hypnotist is spelled wrong on purpose... so you'll have to listen to the whole episode for context.

Episode Twenty-Seven - Most Malleable Primate

Episode Twenty-Seven of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage is bringing a whole new flavour... literally. Not only is Hung Uke Ukrainian Kitchen the sponsor of this episode, it was also the site for the entire recording.

Owner Bryce Prysunka joined us to talk about his decision to completely change careers and follow his passion to open up Hung Uke, and of course what you can expect from one of Red Deer's newest restaurants. We also learn about why it's called "Hung Uke", and for those of you with dirty minds... you might just be right.

We also talk for way too long about sports movies (surprise surprise), learn some great homeowner tips from Andrew Russell, and square off in another edition of "Meal or No Meal"... this time with Ukrainian food/words (surprise surprise).

Episode Twenty-Six: Almost-Tasteful Crotch Talk

Episode Twenty-Six of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage features a great conversation with a pair of doctors, and a lot of crotch talk (as the title suggests) - but not at the same time.

Nephrologist, Dr. Kym Kim and Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Keith Wolstenholme from the Society for Hospital Expansion in Central Alberta (SHECA) join the show to shed some light on the troubles facing the Red Deer Regional Hospital, what SHECA is doing to advocate for the future, and what the recent $1.8 billion government announcement means for the hospital. (14:58 - 51:56)

Then, because 35 minutes of intelligent conversation was all we could handle, we spend a lot of time talking about embarrassing injuries, mostly in the genital-areas, and you'll hear more about our host's most private parts than you probably care to. (1:12:31 - 1:39:42)

To cap things off, the first round of the 'Oh Deer Faceoff' sees Dustin, Walsh, Lund and Ted all battle in a game of "WHAT THE FLICK?". (1:39:41 - 1:51:40) This one is quite something, so... enjoy?
