    Facetune problems and how Dan became a food writer (and toupées too!)
    Aug 29 2024
    Wish We Never Met each other? ALWAYS! (But listen to the new WWNM episode anyway.)

    It’s been quite the week for Amy Hef and Dan Clapson and their schedules show no sign of slowing down until the end of September. Still, the two take time to spar on-air and discuss everything from being hit on by bartenders (it’s rare, but it happens!), new hair systems vs. going to Turkey for “the works”, the problem with Facetune and more.

    Amy also puts Dan in the hot seat and asks how he wound up becoming a food writer/cookbook author, as well as some of the worst restaurant reviews he’s written over the years. (DYK Dan used to be mean?!)

    We Wish Never Met Jeff Dick of The Prairie States? Listen to the new WWNM episode and find out!

    The CCMA Award-nominated musician chats about his band's growth over the past few years and 2024 award nomination, but first he shares a “Wish I Never…” story about a poor choice of haircut in the 90s. Ah, memories!

    Speaking of memories, co-hosts Amy Hef and Dan Clapson also chat about the bittersweet upside of funerals, old-school board games (did you play Nightmare too?), walkie-talkies, and more.

    Wish We Never Met drag queen and stand-up comedian Karla Marx? Listen to the new episode of WWNM to find out!

    Before the hilarious and inspiring drag queen joins Amy Hef and Dan Clapson to share her “Wish I Never…” the co-hosts discuss Australian breakdancer Rachael Gunn’s performance at The Olympics (how could they not?!) as well as Dan’s recent Instagram suspension over a one-word comment on a post.

    To cap it off, the two explore why there are certain times of the day where bar (or restaurant) service is likely to be below average. BEWARE of the witching hours between lunch service and happy hour!

    Wish We Never Met country singer Hailey Benedict? Listen to the new episode of WWNM to find out!

    Co-hosts Dan Clapson and Amy Hef kick things off by talking about how expensive restaurant prices are these days and how finding a good happy hour is a true blessing.

    Speaking of blessings, Amy shares a memory of her grandma driving in rural Saskatchewan with a “Jesus take the wheel” mentality. Dan's grandma had some wild driving choices too. Oh grandmas!

    At the end of the episode, Singer Hailey Benedict pops in to share a “Wish I Never…” story with the co-hosts before chatting a bit about her current CCMA Award nomination and performing in the upcoming Legends Show in Edmonton in September.

  • Dan at the Olympics, straight women + gay weddings (and David Borys too!)

    Dan at the Olympics, straight women + gay weddings (and David Borys too!)
    Aug 1 2024
    Wish We Never Met historian (and songwriter!) David Borys? You’ll need to listen to find out. A new episode of WWNM has arrived and Dan is...well, he's in Norway. So, he begrudgingly joins Amy virtually from abroad.

    After spending a few days at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Dan explains that a large part of the magic of the contentious global sports competition isn’t found at the sports matches at all, but instead at Olympic Houses of different countries like Czechia, India, Mongolia and, of course, Canada too.

    While Dan was away, Amy DJed a queer wedding…and while doing so was hit on by a plethora of straight women. The co-hosts happily delve into the topic of "straight women gone wedding wild" before guest David Borys joins.

    Borys is boasts an unusual trifecta     being one-part history professor, one-part inquisitive podcast host (Curious Canadian History), and, most recently, one-part CCMA Award-nominated songwriter for helping pen the Top 10 Canadian country radio hit “Whiskey in Colorado”. The co-hosts' chat with Borys is especially engaging!

  • Fuddruckers, spam calls, and Ryan Reynolds' Alanis era

    Fuddruckers, spam calls, and Ryan Reynolds' Alanis era
    Jul 25 2024
    Another episode of Wish We Never Met is here for your listening pleasure!

    This week, co-hosts Dan and Amy talk about many hot topics from incessant spam calls to nocturnal toddlers and plenty in-between. They’re also joined by Amy’s best friend Jeremy who shares some stories of Amy in her younger years plus his own funny-yet-shocking “Wish I never went…” story that ends in…marriage?

    Remember Fuddruckers?     While YOU may have not thought about the burger chain for a long time, Dan thinks about it…a lot, so it’s a topic Amy is forced to explore at the beginning of the episode. (DYK there’s still two Fuddruckers in Saskatchewan?)

    Last, but not least, Amy can’t stop thinking about what life would be like if Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morissette were still together. Ah, celebrity couples of days gone by.

    Do we Wish We Never Met the metal band Kittie? Listen to find out!

    Three members of what is arguably Canada’s most famous metal act—Morgan Lander, Mercedes Lander and Tara McLeod—join Amy and Dan to chat about their new album, the band’s impressive 20+ year career and their non-alcoholic beer collab KittiePig.

    Speaking of career longevity, Dan caught Jewel in concert at the Calgary Stampede, so the co-hosts discuss her unwavering star power and then Amy shares an interesting story about Jewel's hit song "You Were Meant For Me" that most folks don't know.

    Bronwin Parks of the Late in '88 podcast joins Amy and Dan at the end of the episode to share a funny “Wish I never saw…” story.

    Jul 11 2024
    A new episode of Wish We Never Met is here! Amy and Dan have fun and thoughtful conversations about working with unprofessional musicians to places they wish they never travelled, and why you should watch the documentary I Am: Celine Dion if you haven’t yet.

    To wrap it all up, Tara (a friend of Dan’s) calls in to share a story about a day she wished she never went to school that involves a peach. This story is not to be missed!
