Mike, Justin and Travis work out who they think needs therapy, we all came to the conclusion that everyone and no one at the same time. if you don't actually want to listen, but you're already this far you should go ahead and listen.

More new and exciting topics to tackle! We suck at hot takes! Summer is over and we are back.

Do bureaucrats create hell? Communication(or the lack there of)has created figurative hell on earth as people watch everything they've built burn to the ground. Taking one of the most beautiful places on earth and letting it burn. What will be your last memory as what will now be known as "Old Jasper"? Has Devin become the hated man at the BCP studio?

Do you know where we came from? This is a re-release episode, BCP Origins, we really have come a long way. We will be back after our little vacation.

Mike gets triggered, not sure how to feel about Canada Day and is mike going crazy or just getting old?

I'm gonna say it, Trump should go to prison, so should Hunter and Amanda might be more than cool but a domestic goddess.

Former Principle, Teacher, Basketball camp director and all around interesting guy Todd joins the BCP for a very interesting Conversation. The entrepreneurial spirit has served this man well as he seeks and finds opportunities and ways to serve every community he finds himself in. Looking forward to continuing our conversation and having Todd Back on. Check out his new Youtube channel https://youtu.be/aHJExYOq_zU?si=LvICDUurxWTEHaP8

Do we have super fans out there? Well, maybe one and we cant wait to have him on, just not today. Today we talk shit. Can someone come back from "full retard"?

Sitting down with Amanda and catching you all up with whats going on. A little bit of hidden brilliance, things to come and here's a thought. Is how you do something more important then why you do it?

That's right, we do our best to our best to fix the post secondary education system, including the student debt. Much like the educational system, we fail miserably.

We had a theme, it kinda got thrown out the window. it started wanting to talk about the churches failure to call people to action... then we started talking about shitty movies and strip clubs. You've been warned, unless you don't read the description.

Join us for a great conversation as you get to be a fly on the wall as we just hang out, this is really how we be. Learn a bit and do your best to enjoy the ride.

There are things that we do that we think are cool and manly, then it turns on us. It started with motorcycles and it turned into artistic expression and understanding. We have a relationship with art and poetry that we do not think past the songs we're singing. Dr. Jordan B, Peterson says "We don't have ideas, ideas have us." How do we cope with that and What makes a passionate hobby into obsessive nerd like behavior?

Are we living by the same rules as those who play a different game of life? Do we have more grace for understanding why people disagree with us? Can The BCP's inspire you to do better and start a podcast?

What does it mean to be saved? Salvation is a word that we through around a ton and i think we need to work out what we think it means and what it looks like. Pharisees, what they say matters but why they're sometimes wrong and how should we deal with them.

Special release. We have Travis 'the Nomad' back and we have a great time talking about St. Patrick and all the things that make us laugh and think. If you were aged out to go to war would you lie?

Big Announcements for the BCP family. We get into it hard and discover terms and ideas that will affect every person in the world and it might be very scary to think about, you're gonna wanna share this one. I know we've said it before but this might be one of our best.

Justin talks a bit about his experience with crazy drivers and people disrespecting one another. do people act differently in a car or truck protected from the world around them?

What is there to be said about a god of your own understanding? When you feel like you no longer matter enough to justify our own well being you need to turn to an idea bigger than yourself, amazing but still understandable. Does it give you a strong foundation or set you up for failure? Is the net good worth the identity shortfalls? so many questions.

Times are tough and the government isn't helping in the way they're trying to. "Do you know what FSJ needs? More homeless" so they ship up 300 from the lower mainland thinking that they will take advantage of the economic success that we've seen up here. Some do, most don't but many die. Many resort to breaking the law to get by or get a fix. It's not just lack of opportunity or mental health, some don't want to be helped.

In the last year the Canadian government brought an actual Nazi soldier to the floor of the Canadian parliament and got a standing O, and the world forgot. Tuckers most recent interview brought it back into the lime light. History is so much messier than we would desire it to be. Maybe humility is the key.

Amanda joins us to discuss a strange part of the Adam and Eve story, the talking snake. Isn't it insane that nowhere in the text does it say that other animals could speak but except this snake and it was never said to be odd. Unfortunately, it takes a long time to get to that part of the conversation. before that we talk about fasting, what does it mean to worship, why Amanda is a bad story teller and so much more.

Direct Democracy: a form of government in which policies and laws are decided by a majority of all those eligible rather than by a body of elected representatives Could this ever be a thing? good idea? bad idea? pipe dream or just another crack pot idea thought up by idealists to create a perfect utopia. Oh the dreamers they must be. And of course it wouldn't be complete without Mikes crazy thoughts on "Safety Meeting" I guess. He doesn't have to say everything that pops into his head.

Great conversation Featuring Kevin Willeboordse of the 'Kevin Unscripted' podcast We take time and speak about micro-dosing, the perfect circle of friends to hang out with, why he started his podcast and what keeps him going.

Truckers from across Canada convened on Parliament Hill in Ottawa during the height of the pandemic. They travelled far, protested, got arrested, and came home. Now, what is the aftermath? Take a plea deal or fight for what feels like our last freedoms? Local trucker, Bern Bueckert, shares some of his story with us as he waits for his case to conclude and answers our question: What now? For a further in-depth look at the Convoy check out the documentary: Unacceptable?

Agree to disagree or not? This week we sit in with The Will & Dave show. This was a very fun conversation with Dave and our very good Friend Will Smith. How should we disagree and is everything Dave's fault?

Happy new year from the BCP, we talk about so much. New Years resolutions and spending too much time with friends and family. Is there such thing as too much family? Mike might be the bad guy but he's doing his best.

This one is definitely being removed from YouTube. On this Episode, we sit down with Will Smith and Justin Butts Sit Down to discuss their disagreements and end up ganging up on BikerMic. This one was one that we've been wanting to do but uncertain if it was gonna be taking advantage of a friendly disagreement.

Things are not just things! What dangerous precedent are you setting when your property becomes an arbitrarily general good? How did we find a way to blend all these topics into an absolutely amazing podcast? You'll have to listen to find out (you just gotta get past the brotherly banter)!

Part 3 of our 100th episode extravaganza, the final word. First we have Brian Norder, this is one of our favorite guests. We're trying to convince Brian to start his podcast, we shoot some names and just generally have a great time. Finally we have Amanda, she asks the hard questions. What does the next 100 look like? Only time will tell. Thanks everyone for sharing and all your support.

Part 2 of our 100 extravaganza kicks off with Travis Lussier, hes here to fight and make Devin pay for his comments about him looking like Franklin the turtle. Next we talk with Andy about his time at the trucker protest in Ottawa and what brought him to wanna ride a motorcycle. We close out this episode with Vanilla Will Smith, he and Mike fight about a woman place in the force and how men to be more then one thing. Stay tuned for part 3

Don't be looking for deep thoughts and structure on this one. This is a look back at our first 100 episodes and the friends we've had on along the way. We start off with Justin in-studio, followed with Scott on zoom and Coyne to close out Part 1. We speak on some interesting topics like: do we actually believe what we say we do , what's it like to be small town famous, and what kind of men came out of the old school oilfield days. Enjoy the ride friends.

This is an episode we've been looking forward to recording as long as we've been doing this. We sit down with one of our brothers in theology and philosophy; and talk about where we all fall short in humility and understanding. Please listen responsibly.

Apologetics: Morality, where does the argument fall flat or does it? Will Smith joins us for a great hang and a great discussion.

Hanging out with Justin Butts and making content, we talk about many things including his disappointment with the new LowriderST. What about safe injection sites, how safe should they be?

What does it take to make you feel uneasy and scared? We talk pop culture, video games and so many movies. Where did Halloween come from and why do we love being scared. Just a great hang with a great friend.

Another great hang with BikerMic and Kickstand. We Decide to get back to the way we roll. We talk about our week and dive into the absolute terror that is the unintended consequences of neuralink. You know there is a perfectly logical way they could brain wash you and its not like you think. Don't do it.

Jeremiah 31:15 (NASB)This is what the Lord says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, Lamenting and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; She refuses to be comforted for her children, Because they are no more.” This was by far our most somber episodes, not much for jokes but we wanted to share where we were at. Stay tuned, next week will make it up to you, but for now, reflect and pray.

This was a great hang with an old friend. I've known Scott for 16 years and he was free for a call and we needed content. We also talked about music, music is so weird to me. Learn a bit more about biker mike and where he comes from.

Welcome newcomers from the Shaun Newman Podcast listeners. This week we look at what the Bible intended to say about becoming like children. Matthew 18:1-5 We find ourselves down a rabbit trail but rest assured we catch a rabbit.

Lets try this again. Ecumenicism, What is it? Is it a good thing? should it be pursued or rejected completely? We answer all these questions, including, should Joe Rogan be permitted to play a midget on film due to his height?

Kickstand is back and we talk about dwindling intellectual thought when you're not being challenged. Bit of a catch up on what's going on in the summer.

Travis got married and there was so much left unsaid that we needed to make a episode about it. What is marriage about for Travis and what changes over the years? Most of all, this is just a great hang and you all got to come along for the ride.

Will and Mike sit down and talk about their read on Friedrich Nietzsche's book Beyond Good and Evil. What were their takeaways and how do you cope with the generational gap between his read on culture and the read we have today?

This was just a great hang and I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed doing it.
