Yes, I sat down with Stephen Barrigar — he of the Substack called The Velcro Staircase — and yes I am continuing my content streak today by posting the entire hour-plus conversation.
We talk about A TON of stuff:
- Our football teams of choice (his: the Lions, mine: the Bengals)
- Canadian politics and the impact of tariffs
- How to make a decent Old Fashioned
- What’s gonna happen in 2026?
- And, of course, music, including our Songs of the Year 2025 and shows we enjoyed.
