    2024/09/12
    Wish We Never Met actor Phil Burke? Listen to the new WWNM episode to find out!

    The multi-faceted actor and producer joins Amy and Dan from Toronto (taking a break from the TIFF whirlwind) to share a “Wish I never texted…” tale before chatting about his past work on the acclaimed series Hell on Wheels—where he met Amy—and how transitioning into the role of a producer is an exciting evolution for a professional actor.

    With the Canadian Country Music Awards currently underway in Edmonton, Amy and Dan touch on all things CCMA Awards and Hailey Benedict’s recent signing to Big Loud too. Very cool!

    Denny also opens up about just how cool MuchMusic's Electric Circus was back in the day, as well as how her most iconic songs have taken her all around the globe, and continue too. She also chats about how the new countrified version of "Superstar" came to be, and that she's got some new music on the way too!

    Also, Dan turns 40, Blue Jay Sessions turns 5 and Alberta's most celebrated brewery Dandy Brewing Co. turns 10. All the milestones this week!

  • Facetune problems and how Dan became a food writer (and toupées too!)
    2024/08/29
    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?!)

  • The upside of funerals and walkie-talkies (and Jeff Dick too!)
    2024/08/22
    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.

  • Drag queen and comedian Karla Marx (and 'Kangaroo' breakdancing too!)
    2024/08/16
    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!

  • Hailey Benedict, Red Lobster, and Jesus taking the wheel

    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!

  • Dan at the Olympics, straight women + gay weddings (and David Borys too!)
    2024/08/01
    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!
