We're a little later than usual, but Episode 38 of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage is here!
This one is sponsored by our friends at Red Stag Barbershop, who you've already heard us talk about quite a bit in the last few months. Now, you'll get to hear even more, as owner Clayten Willington joins us for a very candid interview to give us a better look at the history of Red Stag, and some stories we definitely didn't see coming.
As Co-Worker Erin put it, it was a "very delicious episode" too, as we got to drink our custom cans of "Oh, Beer" from Red Hart Brewing for the first time, and sampled some incredible pastry and desserts from one of Red Deer's newest hot-spots, Arrae Pâtisserie.
And of course, we have our usual other crap to fill the time, including a discussion that every procrastinator can relate to, and every Type-A personality will cringe at... then we wrap things up with a game of 'Gad Mabs" (we changed the name to avoid a lawsuit, but you can do the math there), which, as the title of this episode incinuates, was very difficult.
This description was a novel, so we apologize. If you're still interested in listening at this point... enjoy! (Or don't, we're not the boss of you)

We're mixing things up a bit for Episode Thirty-Seven of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar and Stage - but we promise it's just as good as any other episode... probably even better! (Not that the bar is too high)
With the Wannabe - A Spice Girls Tribute show at Bo's Bar & Stage coming up on April 25, we had a fantastic chat (7:54) with two of the founding members of Wannabe, sisters Barbara (Ginger Spice) and Cat (Baby Spice). If you don't already have tickets to the show... get on it!!!
Sticking with the Spice Girls vibe, we also chat about some of the best songs of the 90's (1:15:18), and then we play a rigorous game of 'Spice or Science' (1:32:33),which is a lot more fun than it sounds. Hopefully.
Either way... enjoy! Or don't... we're not the boss of you.

Episodes manquant?

Episode 36 of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage is here!
It's very a very music-heavy, which is fitting considering it's sponsored by Rock On Records (formerly Sacks Thrift Ave), which means our friend Vincent is back for his third appearance on the podcast!
We'll learn all about the transformation from Sacks Thrift Ave to Rock On Records, where things are at in the world of vinyl and record collecting (9:37), and Vincent tests everyone's music knowledge with a 100 album quiz - which of course does not go well (1:38:19).
Also, there's a bunch of other stuff in this episode you may or may not find interesting... including a Fit or Quit Challenge wrap-up (52:55), and some unpopular opinions from our listeners (1:21:08).
So, as always, enjoy! (Or don't, it's up to you)

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 some great new partnerships with Red Stag Barbershop and 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!
-
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.

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!
-
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 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!

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!

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!
-
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 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 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?
-
Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage has officially hit the quarter-century mark for episodes. Not really worth celebrating... but we're gonna anyways. Try and stop us.
Episode Twenty-Five is sponsored by Alberta European Motorworks and Alberta Asian Motorworks, and our special guest is Mike Pasman (7:36 - 47:44), who manages both businesses - which have been owned by his family for over 15 years, and three years, respectively. He fit right in on the podcast, as he took us all over the place: the ins-and-outs of the car repair business, his craft beer side hustle, nice cans, fried chicken-loving gorillas, and so much more.
Then, in a new Andrew Russell segment called "Just the Tips", we talk for way too long about how trimming the bush around your deck helps you sell your house quicker... seriously. You can't make this stuff up (53:06 - 1:00:27). And then, we take another trip down memory lane as we discuss everyone's favourite cartoon characters (1:03:18 - 1:23:31) . We'd tell you to enjoy, but we're not the boss of you.
-
Episode Twenty-Four of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage is a smorgasbord of fun... with a couple of leaps through the Quantum Realm thrown in.
Our special February food-themed episode features Chef Phil Mayo, a professional Chef who recently moved to Red Deer from England (21:48 - 59:28), and he might just be Red Deer's most interesting man.
With a pair of big family-friendly Winter events coming up in February, we chatted about Winterfest x the Big Jig in Sylvan Lake, and The ACFA Red Deer Winter Carnival (1:06:34 - 1:13:56), so mark them in your calendars! Then, with a brand new partnership agreement and a brand new segment, we got a quick update on Red Deer Real Estate with the first Andrew Russell Market Update (1:03:41 - 1:06:08), and then he stuck around to talk about other stuff with us too.
And since we liked Phil so much, we also kept him around for the whole show as we debated the top comfort foods (1:14:43 - 1:35:28), and had him run the seventh and final round of Dustin vs Walsh, with a game of 'Meal or No Meal'.
To finish the night off, after we (rightfully) made fun of a lot of weird British dishes, we each took a spin on Phil's Wheel of "It Probably Won't Kill You" to see which British dish we'd each have to try. (1:35:28 - 1:51:05)
So, if you like to learn about food, and you like good podcasts, we've got you covered on 50 per cent of those things. Bon Appétit!

Episode Twenty-Three of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage is all about hand-me-downs, human hands, and hopscotch. (That will make sense once you listen. Maybe.)
This one is sponsored by Sacks Thrift Avenue, and we sat down for an interview with owner Vincent Molgat at Sacks (12:22 - 40:42) to talk about vintage clothing, classic records, and got a pretty cool history lesson in music mediums. Plus we found some super cool stuff to wear.
While Andrew Russell somewhat-adequately fills in for Co-Worker Erin, you'll hear all about the gang's ice fishing trip with Sun Sport Recreation (42:54 - 55:53), an update on Dustin's Spanish song (56:36 - 59:16), a story about how entertaining at a children's party can go wrong (59:16 - 1:04:13), and a deep-dive into the past with a nostalgic look at some of the best toys in history (1:10:06 - 1:27:36). And, to cap things off, Round Six of Dustin vs Walsh puts their Red Deer knowledge to the test - and it doesn't go great (1:27:36 - 1:37:27).
All in all, we give this episode a 5.5/10, which puts it into a 23-way tie for our best episode yet!
-
Episode Twenty-Two of Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage is the first recording of 2022... and it's New Year, Same Oh, Deer.
Jenna Goldade and Amy Erlandson from Bull Skit Comedy join the show to chat about all things Bull Skit, and to teach the fellas a thing or two about improv. And yes, you guessed it... things get off the rails. (14:24 - 50:49)
The gang also looks back on the year that was (55:11 - 1:10:06), then they discuss your suggestions for the next TV series to binge watch (1:17:02 - 1:37:25) and then cap things off with a game of "News or Nonsense" in Round Five of Dustin vs Walsh. (1:37:25 - 1:47:43)

Somehow, Oh, Deer made it to its one year anniversary, and what a year it was! To celebrate, we had a whole bunch of friends join us at Communal Creative Studios to record Episode 21 and help us look back on the year that was:

Every 'um'. Every stutter. Every mistake. Every argument between Ted and Lund... it's all here in the special One Year Anniversary edition of the first ever episode of Oh, Deer!
Exactly one year ago, Ted, Dustin and Lund spent a beautiful December Sunday afternoon out on Lund's deck, and even though they had no idea what they were doing, took a shot in the dark and recorded a podcast. Fast forward 365 days later, and they still don't know what they're doing, but they hide it better.
So, as a thank you to all of you for your incredible support, they're tricking you into bumping up their download numbers by making you go back and listen to an episode you already listened to... BUT, now you get a peek behind the curtain to hear what a raw, unedited episode of Oh, Deer sounds like... and as you can imagine, it's not great.
-
Against all odds, Oh, Deer... presented by Bo's Bar & Stage has made it all the way to Episode Twenty as we creep up to the one year anniversary of the podcast.
On a special (overly) Christmas-themed episode, we take a quick peek at Ted's sitdown with Father Christmas himself, and the gang welcomes special guest Kevin 'The Athlete' Strybosch to fill in for Co-Worker Erin.
The fellas chat about everything from the best Christmas songs, to the best way to celebrate the holidays in Central Alberta, with a hole bunch of crap in between. Happy Holidays!
