In episode 10 (already!) of season 2 the Lasers welcome the hosts of the Up for Discussion podcast Tom and Kate for a pretty funny time. Conversation kicks off with talk of social media and its role in meeting significant others before moving to biotech and its role in the Biotech Olympics. They play a game where Tom and Kate workshop names for fictional characters that the Lasers developed and then discuss dads. They examine the flimsy phenomenon of signatures before kicking off Top of the Hour and answering some serious questions. They talk about traffic induced grumpies, microwaves as old technology, guinea pigs (Tom’s more specifically) and Jay ruining hot tubs. They play a game where they rank various bears in honour of Up for Discussion’s logo before Tom pitches a time consuming podcast idea and they close out with talk of marijuana and inevitably getting too high.

Episode 6 introduces our first guest of season 2 - writer/podcast host/content creator Chris Masson from WatchMojo. They kick off the episode with a lil bit of the esoteric with Chris sharing stories from growing up with a mom who dabbles p heavily in the zodiac and contrasting that to other relationships in his life. The Lasers introduce a new season 2 game where they make the guest draw a self-portrait during an increasingly personal Q&A and Chris talks an ageing parent, going from art to art-ish, and which sin best applies. They talk personas in art and taking one’s self serious vs one’s art serious and whether REM, Live and Tragically Hip are the same band (Chris argues no, Mike is unfamiliar). They workshop some content ideas (Drakespeare vs Shakespeare comes out looking ok) and talk why men seek out wood in all forms, stylistic devices in writing and chip flavours. To close out, Chris performs a piece from his past just a little begrudgingly as per Jay’s request.
