About this episode

The episode explores the evolution of fame and mental health in the context of rockstars, while also discussing local news in Winnipeg.

Are today's clean-living, wellness-focused "rockstars" better off, or did the old-school icons have it right? Dave Wheeler and Tyler Carr take a deep dive into the evolution of fame, asking the tough question: should mental health have been a priority back in the day instead of romanticizing the ultimate crash-and-burn lifestyle? Meanwhile, things are heating up—literally. The guys break down the brutal incoming weekend heat wave threatening Winnipeg with a muggy humidex near 45, the city's latest battle against high-target mosquito zones, and the historic, first-ever total sellout of the Winnipeg Folk Festival. Plus, an update on the $10 million St. Vital Walmart arson arrest, local community heroes stepping up, and a preview of Dru Brown starting for the Blue Bombers tonight!
