Listen now
Description
It's always bugged Toronto journalist Adrian Ma that there is *another* Adrian Ma out there, a journalist and podcast host who is more famous, more accomplished, and “approximately 20% better looking" than him. So this summer, Adrian reached out to his doppelganger, and flew down to Washington, D.C. to meet him in person. The surreal moment when Adrian Ma meets Adrian Ma. Plus, Trevor talks to an old-school matchmaker with some unusual methods of scouting for singles. And what happens when 60 strangers dressed up in mumus and curly orange wigs get together to channel their inner Mrs Roper? We crash a "Mrs. Roper Romp" to find out how the wise-cracking landlady from 70s sitcom Three's Company is bringing people together in unexpected ways.  At 15, Bee Bertrand’s world changed when he saw a Bif Naked concert: it was the first place he felt a sense of belonging as a queer person. And for decades, Bif’s music was the soundtrack to the highs and lows of Bee’s life. But now, thanks to a late-night DM, Bee and Bif have connected IRL - and are building a life-changing friendship.
