June is National Indigenous History Month and we would like to recognize the history, heritage and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada. We encourage all Canadians to educate, understand and to create a path toward reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.

In this episode, we list some athletes who wore the number 69 on their jersey. Do you know any of these guys? The latest on the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs and COVID-19, plus my struggles with TELUS… Yes, I finally purchased a new Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra but it was not a fun experience. Adam is in a similar boat with WorkSafeBC. And we chat about some new music, including a cool, new video from Red Fang. Check it out below.
