Show overview

Sleeping With The Elephant has been publishing since 2013, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 113 episodes. That works out to roughly 80 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 38 min and 46 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Comedy show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 9.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2013, with 41 episodes published. Published by Paul and Ryan.

SWTE 106 – Clowns, As Far As The Eye Can See

The return of Paul Swickard is here! Paul takes a break from An Hour of Sleep to chat about Trump and Clowns. Trump made some bold claims that Canadians hate their healthcare system, turns out it's a very small percentage that do. Trump did a bunch of other stupid things over the last month, so we go over those as well. Closing out the show with the theme of clowns, we take a look at the recent phenomenon that is dressing up as a creepy clown and scaring innocent people on city streets. Seriously…. Hosted on Acast.

SWTE 105 – Order 65 Is Up!

E

Sleeping With The Elephant returns with an all Canadian cast yet again as Ryan is joined by new guest host Loic (@stoicloic on Twitter)! We talk about a whole range of topics starting off with a sandwich artist in Canada attempting to capture Trump to Jeb's new job as a cameo artist for award shows. In between we also take a look at the word “dicking” thanks to Colin Powell, ignoring the North, and Trump's secret plan to defeat ISIS revealed! Hosted on Acast.

SWTE 104 – Good, Bad, or Canadian

E

Ryan is joined by the hosts of the Good, Bad, or Bull$#*! podcast: Beau, Crofton, and Mike. This week we cover a range of topics, but of course we start the podcast with a bit of bull. Trump is fairly OK with losing as it will net him a huge vacation, Conservatives use Milk cartons to find our Prime Minister, and a US Olympian is facing criticism for wearing a Canada hat.

SWTE 103 – The Crazy Quaid on Emailary

E

This week Scott Johnson guests on the show to chat about Pokemon GO, Canadian tall tales, and a whole bunch to do about Trump. Pokemon GO has folks getting into trouble, including a pair of Canadians that wandered into Montana while chasing the infamous Jigglypuff. A US realtor is capitalizing on the political climate but catering to sellers looking to move to Canada. Breaking news out of Randy Quaid today is not a surprise to anyone as he denounces Hilary and Bernie for Trump (his Twitter is a little NSFW, be warned). Finally, we close the show with the reality that Donald Trump is the official Republican Nominee. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SWTE 102 – Poutine Meetup

E

Not since Nerdtacular 2015 has a show of this magnitude been crafted as Sleeping With The Elephant welcomes back Jules and Jocelyn. Although we're all out of apple pie whiskey. Jocelyn did us all a solid and watched Idiocracy before the show so we could comment on the writers reuniting to craft anti-Trump ads. Then the Canadians explain to Jules the most recent Canuck Controversy of #ElbowGate. Moving back to the Canadian news we have a story about MPs breaking into O' Canada after voting on a bill that would make the anthem gender neutral. Finally, we close the show off with an infographic that finally breaks down which Americans follow through on their threats to move to Canada. Hosted on Acast.

Lou brings along two stories for discussion: George Zimmerman selling gun used to kill Trayvon Martin and HBO's ‘Last Week Tonight' goes after Gov. LePage. Not to make the whole show crazy talk, Ryan brings along the story of Fort McMurray, focusing on arm chair Prime Ministering and the awesome support efforts by Canadians and people around the world.

SWTE 94 – Away for Thanksgivings

Paul and Ryan return after dealing with a month and a half of scheduling conflicts. Funny enough, it works out that the last time a show was recorded it was just before Canadian Thanksgiving.
