Returning guest Eric Mahler joins the show to bring his Christmas cheer to the masses! On point for discussion this week is the fact that Trudeau is ok with 18 year olds buying legalized pot, Obama thinks the US should do something about that Russian hack issue, and finally bringing the show full circle: Trudeau […]

Two returning guests on the show unite to begin the healing. In our first post-election episode, Ryan, Loic, and Jimmy get together to discuss just what the hell happened. We also discuss what the hell might happen, and what’s already started to happen in the US and Canada. Oh, and Joe Biden memes! Have a […]

Eric Mahler of the Eric Everyday podcast returns to the show for a final reprieve before election night. While we avoid the T word as much as possible, we do remind our US friends to head out and VOTE. In the news we find out that Steven Seagal has infiltrated Russia and becomes a citizen, the […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This week on the show we have a representative from Maine, the Busy Zombie Lord himself, Lou Page! 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 […]

Welcome to Episode 100 of Sleeping With The Elephant! After years of talking about Anthony Weiner, Rob Ford, and other issues plaguing North America, we’re faced with our toughest opponent yet: Donald Trump and the race for the Presidency. That’s where Paul comes in! We have a special report from him on the field explaining […]

Eric Mahler joins Ryan on this episode of Sleeping With The Elephant to take a closer look at what Trump has been up to for the past few months. More lately though, Trump is stating he will not pledge support for the front runner if he loses. On the Canadian side of things the federal […]

After a short new child induced hiatus, Ryan and Paul return to discuss the birth of Ryan’s son Kayden. Both baby and new mother are doing well! After the new baby chat we move into the show proper with news of Canada entering the 2016 Presidential Race. Also Trump has a rally song we just […]

With 2015 behind us, we take a look at what we thought made the year for Sleeping With The Elephant. There’s a little bit of Trump, a little bit of Trudeau, and a whole lot of conversation about hair styles (not really). We then look forward to 2016, which is right around the corner. Oh, […]

It’s a general holiday miracle! Sleeping With The Elephant returns with Star Wars talk at the top of the show. Both Paul and Ryan are seeing it next weekend, so we chat about our experiences as we await the big release. In the news we take a look at international coverage of Syrian refugees arriving […]

Two weeks in a row? It’s a Christmas Season miracle! Speaking of the holidays, Ryan shares his love for the Santa Claus Parade as Paul puts on his Grinch hat. In the news, Paul goes over some crazy US laws and Ryan talks about the legalization of marijuana in Canada and some “as is tradition” […]

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. So effectively, we took a month and a half off for Thanksgiving (both Canadian and American)… In news we may have […]

It’s that time of year again folks! The annual Gamers’ Inn Extra Life stream is just around the corner. Join us on November 14th as we play video games for 24 hours in support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals around the world. Go to bit.ly/TGI2015 to learn more and donate to help a great cause. […]

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone! Ryan breaks from turkey prep to discuss the Canadian Federal Election update with Paul. Looks like the Liberals have pulled ahead and also want to legalize marijuana. As we move south we find that Randy Quaid has been arrested at the Vermont border and Ben Carson has had some weird attention lately.

In order to translate the only story we could find on the Canadian election we brought in Patrick (@NotPatrick) from France to let us know that Justin Trudeau keeps his enemies a little too close. Also, it’s that time of year everyone! Canadian Thanksgiving! And we have five ways to make it perfect. 🙂 Finally, […]

Canadians lead off the show with the most Canadian thing ever: The Paddle Stick. Part canoe paddle, part hockey stick, 100% Canadian goodness! Also, we promised a Canadian Federal Election update and we have one for you: Harper rolls his eyes live on television. Probably the meanest thing we’ll see come out of these debates… […]

Trump once again trumps the Canadian Federal elections with his many antics found in the second Republican debate. Seriously Canadian politicians, crank up the crazyness or you will be overshadowed each week. Or not, maybe keep it sane… Speaking of Canada, Matt Damon had some words on the topic of building a wall between Canada […]

The Presidential Election continues to ramp up in the United States of America, as John McAfee enters the ring! Also in American news, Kim Davis is out of jail and she’s a huge Rocky fan. North of the wall though, the election for Prime Minister does it’s best to entertain Paul with a list of […]

It’s a grab bag of stories this week starting off with a US politician calling Canadian politics “Quaint” and JimmyTheShovel suggests we check out the story about building a wall between Canada and the US. In Canadian news Russia was fined $85,000 for skipping out on Canada’s national anthem and in unrelated news Canada is now officially […]

The elections are firing on all cylinders in both our countries with campaign news from north and south of the border. Jeb needs to stop giving flyer duty to volunteers, an angry Conservative supporter has some choice words for reporters and Deez Nuts gives Trump a run for his money. Oh, also Tim Hortons is introducing […]

Hello August! Sleeping With The Elephant returns from vacation to talk about Nerdtacular! Paul was unable to attend, but Ryan brought home some treats for you all. First up is a segment recorded with past guest Jules Scott (Tauren Think Tank) and possible future guest Jocelyn Moffett (The Angry Chicken/The Gamers’ Inn). At the time of the recording […]

Paul follows up with Ryan on whether or not he’s panicking about becoming a parent before getting into the topic of the show: Sex. How do Americans talk about it versus Canadians? Is one culture more open to the discussion? We find both are equally awkward on the topic. The reason behind this chat was […]

Hey, we’re back and almost on time too! 😀 After some announcements and happy wishes to friends on the internet, we get down to business with two of the top stories this week. First up in Toronto, we take a look at a memorial set up for a dead raccoon. No joke… Closing the show […]

After a month long break Sleeping With The Elephant is back, and boy did we pick a great day to return! Happy Independence Day to our American listeners and a belated Happy Canada Day to you fantastic Canadians. Two big stories broke recently that we couldn’t help but cover. Speaking of crappy coverage of world […]

Sleeping With The Elephant is back! In podcast form! So basically the same as before… Anyways, after some movie discussion featuring Mad Max and Age of Ultron (spoiler free all around) we get to the pressing news. Jeb Bush thinks US-Canadian relations are a little rough, and wants to fix that if he’s President. Don’t […]

Did you all see that new Star Wars trailer? Don’t worry, pause the show, stop reading and go watch NOW! Done? Perfect, back to another podcast that’s not about Star Wars that still manages to talk about Star Wars. 🙂 After Star Wars we pull ourselves away from Han and Chewie to chat about Canada […]

Paul and Ryan take a break from chocolate mini-eggs to record a new episode for the Easter long weekend! After some back and forth about the holiday Ryan brings up a story on a new copyright law making it illegal to use a VPN to access US Netflix in Canada. Paul counters that with a […]

So… Sorry about this folks but this week is all about Ted Cruz. Wait! Don’t go anywhere! We’re not just going to talk about his announcement to run for President in 2016. He said a lot of other stupid stuff last week too! One of Ted’s biggest pet peeves is that darn ObamaCare, he hates […]

The Toddler Plague strikes again, taking Paul out for two episodes, but it was nice enough to sponsor the episode at least. After the normal back and forth about healthcare, Ryan opens up the Canadian news with an anti-terror bill ad saying you’re more likely to be killed by a moose than a terrorist. Next […]

After a long talk about Ryan’s video game habits we get down to Sleeping With The Elephant normality with Prime Minister Harper giving an exclusive interview to… CostCo Magazine? In American news it seems another shutdown may be in the future, this time over immigration. One can hope they come to their senses and throw […]

Like every other outlet covering news we’ve somehow managed to talk about 50 Shades of Grey. The connection? Turns out the author scribbled notes in her BlackBerry! Also in the news a Republican in South Dakota states Planned Parenthood is worse than ISIS… Where do we get these people?!? Finally, a follow up from last week […]

Two weeks in a row? We’re on fire! Paul does his best to upset the new sponsor at the top of the show, but that doesn’t stop this episode from tackling the big issues from the last week. We have a salty speaking politician in John Boehner, Montana representative wants to ban yoga pants, Jon […]

Contrary to popular belief Sleeping With The Elephant is not podfading, we were just sleeping! And thinking… And preparing… Actually it was two weeks of work, one week of video games, and the Super Bowl. Let’s be honest. Anyways, after some catch up we have two Canadian stories to discuss including Rex Murphy’s thoughts on […]

We’re knee deep into the holiday season so Paul and Ryan spend the first chunk of the show discussing the Turkey Wars prequel, American Thanksgiving, and it’s much loved sequel Christmas! After a Turkey and Ham back and forth, we go over why Creed is blaming Obama for his troubles.

Paul and Ryan return for the second week in a row to chat about Black Friday, video game sales and a few news stories. Ryan describes Canada’s Black Friday sales as “fake”, since the deals are never as good as they are in the States. That being said, both agree on the fact that they […]

After another month long hiatus Paul and Ryan return to chat about what they’ve been up to. First off we have BlizzCon last week, where Paul got his hands on some great upcoming titles from Blizzard and saw Metallica! This turns the show into a bit of a video game discussion as they’re both been […]

This isn’t your standard Sleeping With The Elephant episode, both Paul and Ryan are under the weather but wanted to put up an episode detailing Extra Life and our involvement. Extra Life is an annual charity event where gamers gather to play video games for 24 hours in support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals around […]

After a one month hiatus Paul and Ryan return to chat about all the important issues affecting Canada and the United States of America.

This week we’re joined by special guest Jules Scott (@JulesRPG) of such podcasts as Tauren Think Tank, That TV Show and I Remembered It Better to chat about Tim Hortons, Johnny Depp, In-N-Out and the wonderful world of the NFL. First up we have the most Canadian drone story we could find: a drone delivering […]

This week on Sleeping With The Elephant, Paul shares another email from Ron Paul who has more guns for those willing to vote for him.

After a week off Paul and Ryan return to Sleeping With The Elephant to kick things off with… A thirty minute video of Deadmau5 getting coffee with Rob Ford? Well that’s not all, plenty more news to cover! Funny or Die shows us what a Canadian cable news show would be like if we modeled it […]

We’ve got a jam packed episode following a week off, so let’s get to it! Ted Cruz is in the news again, this time for being referenced to in True Blood’s return on HBO. His reaction is exactly what you’d expect: hilarious (laugh at type, not with). Ron Paul reached out to Paul with an […]

This week we’re joined by special guest Tom Merritt to go over everything that is bothering Americans and Canadians this week. Before we hit the news we chat about Fred Durst having a Twitch account and his recent live stream for Call of Duty: Ghosts. Why you ask? I’m not sure… But Limp Bizkit was a thing […]

Paul has returned from the wonderful world of Nerdtacular and has plenty to share with you fine folks. After the discussion of mountain air and nerdy awesomeness Paul and Ryan get to the news. It seems Fox News is back at it and ignoring the “don’t be a dick” rule by copying Bioshock Infinite’s logo. Shirtless men […]

Welcome to that awkard week where both Canada Day and Independence Day fall. First off Ryan tests Paul’s patience with the “Make Your Name More Canadian” generator followed by a friendly message from Canadians to Americans. On the American side of things we have the new ad campaign by Newcastle Brown Ale asking what if […]

This week we’re joined by Kerry, or better known by the TadPool as Cleeo! At the start of the show we attempt to steer clear of World Cup talk but fail miserably. In the news North Korea is upset about the new Franco/Rogen joint called The Interview, Supreme Court enforces a little common sense when […]

The World has World Cup fever, and what comes as a surprise to Paul and Ryan, so does this podcast! We spend a good chunk of time talking about the World Cup going on currently in Brazil, as well as it’s history in relation to the United States of America and Canada. Afterwards we break […]

This week on the podcast we’re joined by fellow podcaster Dave Nelson, who recently moved from the United States of America to Canada. Dave brought a cool Tumblr blog with him to the show called What’s Different in Canada, he says it’s been a valuable tool as he transitions to Canadian living. In the news […]

Ryan starts us off this week by sharing the sad news that the Montreal Canadians are out of the playoffs. This makes Canadians and Youppi very unhappy. 🙁 Paul rubs it in by saying his hometown team, the LA Kings, are in the finals and he really doesn’t care. In the news, Glenn Beck takes […]

Welcome to the end of May folks! With June around the corner Paul and Ryan share their versions of the holiday long weekend: Memorial Day and Victoria Day.

Apologies to the Boston Bruins fans as Ryan starts us fresh from the big Game 7 win in the Montreal/Boston match up with a story about how Boston cream donuts aren’t too popular at a Montreal Tim Hortons. Now that the good news is out of the way, we have some bad news: Earth, it’s […]

This week we get the British perspective with special guest James “Iyagovos” Bartholomeou of Indie-Love, InitCheck and soon to be Funderdome fame. Each host submitted a story from their country this week, so it’s the best of all three worlds. Starting things off out of the US, Paul brings us a story about a California […]

We have three words to describe this episode: Crazy, Racism and Drugs. Paul and Ryan conclude the month of April with the crazyness that is Sarah Palin at a NRA rally, the racism behind LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling, and finish the show with breaking Rob Ford drug news.

It’s Spring Break in the states so after Ryan references Spring Breakers Paul uses a video from Fox News to explain the difference between good cocaine and bad cocaine (quality education programming coming out of the folks at Fox). Next up we have House of Thrones, a mash up between House of Cards and Game […]

Ryan was a not feeling so well this week but braved an ear infection to describe his experience with a walk-in clinic and Canada’s amazing healthcare system. Spoiler alert, it was worth the wait because all it cost was time. 🙂 In the show proper we examine a video where someone pretends to be Obama […]

What does Rick Mercer, Jimmy Kimmel, Obama and beer have in common? Well they’re all featured on this weeks Sleeping With The Elephant of course! First up Ryan matches America’s Two Ferns with Rick Mercer being put to sleep by Harper but then promptly confuses Paul by talking about Quebec separatism. Also on the show […]

While Ryan is away in the land of sun and tequila, Paul gives us an update on how the good old USA is doing in the Winter Olympics in Sochi. Note: This was recorded over the weekend when Canada was in fact ahead of the United States. I guess giving your country a hard time […]

With the Super Bowl behind us Ryan once again reminds Paul that Canada does indeed care about it, also commercials. First up we take a swing at all the idiots who are calling out Coke on their fantastic ad, which concludes with something that should really fire those folks up. Second we talk a bit […]

Hard to believe it’s been an entire year of Sleeping With The Elephant and what a crazy year it’s been! We start the show off covering the little things that dominated the show, including Tim Hortons, the Heritage Minutes and of course Nerdtacular (which was the first time Paul and Ryan met in real life). […]

2014 has started and like any other Winter month on the show we start things off with weather talk, mainly focusing on how cold it is for Ryan and how comfortable it is for Paul. In the “news” the American media seems to have a fascination with following their President’s on vacation, as we get […]

It’s the holiday season so Paul and Ryan discuss some news and annoying Christmas songs, complete with annoying clips! First up, it wouldn’t be an episode of Sleeping With the Elephant without Rob Ford, and this time he keeps with the holiday theme by saying he knows exactly what women want at Christmas.

We’re back with more Rob Ford talk, but we vow to try and ignore Mr. Ford from here on out (unless he does something incredibly stupid). In the news, Rob Ford is getting plenty to eat at home, the Mayor of Toronto is also getting the spotlight on pretty much every single American comedy show […]

This week on Sleeping With The Elephant how could we NOT talk about Rob Ford and his admission of smoking crack (Paul certainly wouldn’t let Canada get away with that).

In the news a Canadian man has been charged with assault over a Tim Hortons coffee transaction, Syria is next on […]

This week on Sleeping With The Elephant Paul equates the Miley Cyrus controversy to Americans and Canadians getting a little too chummy. The Weekly Weiner segment is still standing  (this time with a brand new bumper) and we have an interesting clip of Weiner claiming to be pro-woman. In the news this week we discuss […]

This week on Sleeping With The Elephant we start things off with a discussion on what it takes to be the greatest country in the world.

Speaking of hockey, a Conservative MP took a minute in the House to congratulate the Toronto Maple Leafs, but set a new record for quickly switching targets.

Sleeping With The Elephant is back, and Barbara Bush does not approve… No, we’re just kidding! She’s a huge fan (we assume)!

This weeks Sleeping With The Elephant is packed with talk of Lincoln, trillion dollar coins, and a crazy gun guy.
