Description
Could you imagine solving a Rubik's Cube in under one second? Or summing up your entire life in 6 minutes? On this episode, every story is a race against time. SIX MINUTES. Richard Kemick is looking to dip his toe into the dating world again. There’s just one problem. His living situation is a little…..complicated. And tough to sum up in the six minutes he has to make a good first impression at an upcoming speed-dating event. He shares the terror and exhilaration of trying to distill your life’s story in a crunch. ONE YEAR. Find out what's on the line for Shandy, a single mom in Winnipeg counting down to one year of sobriety. TWO WEEKS: Lisa Lapointe is just weeks away from retiring as British Columbia’s chief coroner. And in the time she has left, she is sounding off about the toxic drug crisis in her province that is claiming seven lives every day. ONE HUNDRED DAYS: As kindergarten kids get closer to celebrating their first 100 days in school, Trevor sits down with some five-year-olds to find out what time means to them. 24 HOURS. She had less than 24 hours to get to L.A. and be camera ready for a gig at the Emmy Awards, so Amanda Buhse dropped everything and said yes to a whirlwind adventure and evening with the stars. ONE SECOND: What can you do in one second? Probably not much...but If you're Kyle Santucci, you can solve a 2x2 Rubik's Cube and set a national record. And the crazy part is…he thinks he can do it even faster. TEN DAYS: Even on vacation, there’s always one nagging thought on Kelly Konieczny’s mind: will the call about her kidney transplant happen today? In February, Kelly is part of an intense 10-day window where she has the best chance of finding a donor. After 30 years of waiting, will she finally find a donor?
