It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…. Better yet, we’ll just tell you that we don’t know about UFOs, but if you click here we’ll explain to you what we don’t know even though we don’t know enough to know how to tell you what we do or do not know… Hint: It’s in the name. They click-baited us with promises of UFO clarification, but all we got is more of …

When UFOs show up and barely make it on the radar (no pun intended) that’s definitely… something to think about. Over some good gin and a new sock jingle, of course! We talk drones and UFOs, review Viva la Dirt League’s "Baelin’s Route", and muse over BroodX cicadas and wildlife conservation. Not a bad way to spend a typical wet, cool Victoria Day …

We've got two reviews today - and we’re not angry with one, per se… just disappointed. Which (if we take any cue from our parents) is worse than being mad. Much, much worse. A man from Italy finally gets busted after skipping work for 15 years, Panda tests her taste buds by doing the ol’ orange juice & toothpaste trick, and we celebrate Calgary’s C…

The most important question we have to ask ourselves - Is Panda’s no taste and smell strong enough to withstand a chicken cooked by a robotic slapping machine? Our podcast isn’t just about the science of slapping chickens this week; we also talk about DMX and Prince Philip, agonize over Eivor’s bird-eyes in AC Valhalla, and vow to send a Sock Rocke…

We review Bigfoot Family: the most controversial, dangerous movie ever to grace our Albertan television screens. Never before have we witnessed anything so…. Wait, is that a jive-talking raccoon?? Even more perplexing than magical Bigfoot offspring, is marshmallow-flavoured Pepsi. What is this world coming to?! Thank goodness we have a new Sock Jin…

Thanks (?) to our knack for reviewing bad movies, we were asked to review “CAPONE”… and boy, was it ever… a thing... that we did. Sort of. The Alberta War Room attacks an animated film for children, we praise two gentlemen in Fukushima who care for pets left behind, and we have a new sock jingle! Plus, Dropbear tries the “Burnt Orange” trick to bri…

We’re recording at Kensington Studio this weekend but we can’t seem to escape the snowblowers outside. We think they’re stalking us. Send help. Or…. less snow. Filming commercials in the time of Covid, sharks with feet are keeping Australia on their toes, Netflix has some hits and misses when it comes to Reality TV, and a tiny Koala gets a new leas…

We’re back after 4 weeks off - but THE SHOW MUST GO ON - albeit a little short of breath, but un-isolated this time, and just in time to completely ignore Valentines Day. We discuss how Panda’s Covid prognosis quickly went downhill, plus Gorilla Glue hairdos and toothpaste mohawks, how to escape deserted islands with or without a TV crew, and we th…

This week we go remote because Dropbear and Panda have been separated by COVID-19. Yep. Poor Panda caught ‘The Vid’ at her work in Health Services and is finding the positives in her positive; Dropbear has been living in isolated exile to ensure it doesn’t spread. So this week we’re doing the podcast via ZOOM. Not ones to be downers, we found some …

We do our best to do a quick review of 2020 without going completely insane - is THAT what gave Panda a headache? Or was it all the cookies she ate during quarantine? At least we isolated, unlike… Canadian politicians. What will 2021 bring? Aliens, probably. Do these aliens have feet? Do they wear socks? We hope so! We’d love to give them some sock…

It’s our last episode before Christmas so we have to mention Christmas at least once or twice - in between stories of Cocaine Ghost Ships and Space Force Guardians! We re-examine our favourite music videos and delve into the best and worst holiday movies we’ve seen; and we really ‘SockRocket’ it to three lucky people who have helped save the world …

Episode 79 brings you the new & highly anticipated Sock Rocket Sock Jingle by Rob and WOW it’s mind-blowing! Panda’s head exploded two days ago and we still haven’t gathered it all back up yet. We’ve got Christmas Stars & collapsing telescopes in science news, graffiti artists winning lawsuits & Warner Bros being bros in art news. A YYC Choreograph…

Episode 78 is a weird one. Soylent Green might actually become a thing—Grow-A-Steak is coming your way—to cannibalise, or not to cannibalise, AMIRITE? Panda wants to learn what her cat is really saying with Meow Talk, we review Truth Seekers, and Rob Mitchelson blows us away with a Sock Rocket Christmas Commercial we didn’t know we wanted. We thank…

Nothing is stopping us this week—Biden is in, Shaw Internet is out, and Tesla is…a tequila? Dying Tieflings, dirty Rogue Wood Elves, and skateboard credenzas are also the list of topics today. We save the world with pay-it-forward music lessons, Remembrance Day, and we’ve paired up with Sock Rocket on a new kick-ass adventure! Become an official su…

Will Dropbear ever get over the fact that Panda is right? Because she’s right, you know. He was wrong, and she was right. Find out in this exciting episode. Tim Hortons and Burger King are going to try out a new take-out system; the Tesla Roadster passed by Mars looking a little worse-for-wear. We talk Assassins Creed Origins vs Odyssey, Star Wars,…

Dropbear bought Star Wars: Squadrons VR and his brain exploded like an unfortunate Alderaan incident. Giant sharks invade Nova Scotia, Elon Musk’s Roadster invades Mars, we review Function of Panda, and save the world with a hospital home lottery and egg muffins. Become an official supporter Dropbear and Panda on our Patreon Page for as little as $…

We’re back from Summer Holidays and filming adventures with a mini-episode just in time to save the world! And guess what? We’re nominated for The People’s Choice Podcast Awards for Best Comedy Podcast along with Amy Schumer and Kevin Bacon! We make some new friends, Pepin and Meader, from the We Need To Talk Podcast. Vin Diesel is pivoting careers…

We’re about to go on a hiatus but before we go we want to make sure you know that in this episode we say, “Kevin Bacon’s wiener” an uncomfortable number of times: more than four, and fewer than twelve. Nathan Fillion pays it forward and Michael J Fox thanks Alberta Health Services, we review Dante’s Peak and Tremors, and save the world with Panda’s…

Dropbear and Panda are all about gardening this episode; and it’s not as boring as you think! There are booty injuries fit for a QUEEN! Not only are there severe gardening injuries, but there are murder hornets, hero bees, and free Alberta wildflower seed mix! Oh, and we also discuss assault rifles and feminist board game disasters, but gardening j…

We’ve moved to our studio in cSpace and doing our best to ride out the apocalypse the best way we know how - by talking about Hubble space news, reviewing terrible movies, and reminding people not to snort lines of ajax. The world is a pretty messed up place and we’re all doing the best we can. We’re trying to save the world the only way we know ho…

We’re as tired of Covid-19 news as you are so we went to great lengths to keep this episode 100% Virus Free—it even has Atomic Whale Sharks and space travel and puns. We review Easter, a great new board game, The Tiger King, Schitt’s Creek, and celebrate how our friends and listeners are saving the world in their own weird ways. Become an official …

Like many of you in the world we’ve just come out of quarantine after our trip abroad (not unlike Punxsutawney Phil). Healthy and happy - albeit a little twitchy - and making the best out physical distancing and isolation by making weird videos, podcasts, playing video games and generally being grateful for every day. Please join us in thanking med…

Dropbear and Panda are back from their epic adventures across Maui, Hawaii, just in time to get quarantined-not-quarantined thanks to the ever-so popular CORVID-19 Flu Virus Pandemic that’s sweeping the nation like a brand-new boy band. We met some amazing animals and people in our travels including adventurous Jay and Miranda from Washington. We s…

After a long winter Dropbear and Panda need a break. What better way to take a break than go on a creative retreat and do some location scouting? We've been talking about saving Turtles for years so figured we should probably go meet some. Bad Narwhal is hanging out with Newton in Calgary while we investigate the animals, fauna and undersea world o…

Valentine’s Day just passed and we review prior V-Days; it seems that they have not been so good. Dropbear can’t even remember any - so that’s sayin’ somethin’! A woman in South Korea visits her dead daughter in virtual reality, Canada’s CHIME telescope receives a repeating signal from 500 million light years away and we save the world this episode…

Dropbear & Panda were sent on a very special mission for this episode by a listener: to gather vital information on a very bizarre film called, "Doctor Doolittle" and we've reported back to say that... well, we definitely saw it. Oh boy, did we ever see it. GB left the EU and DB&P and the rest of the alphabet still seem confused about it all. The c…

When the planet is topsy-turvy and it seems like there's very little good in the world, Dropbear and Panda are on the case to find the fun with news, reviews, and ways to save the world that might actually work. We've been nominated for ‘Outstanding Production in a Series’ by the Canadian Podcast Awards, we discover a strange military tradition in …

Yes, we risked the very last drops of our sanity to save YOUR world and went to see CATS so you don't have to. We discuss everything from the desperate need for kitty keenex to sexy spurting milk to TS Elliot's speech-impedimented niece. AND we discover what Jellicle ACTUALLY means. Not only that, but we also touch base on the latest Star Wars movi…

Dropbear finally finished a game and Panda has the lowdown on the Holidays. This is our winter holiday episode filled with delight, swearing, breaking news, wicked reviews, and our very own look at holiday traditions and the "War on Christmas". Dropbear can’t wait to see a particular movie and Panda thinks it’s time to launch him into deep space...…

Panda is enjoying her final weekend on stage with the cast of the lauded Shakespeare-Extravaganza ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ while Dropbear is saving the world from the Doomsday Cult of Eden’s Gate on Playstation. More like SaveTheWorldStation, amiright? There’s some great news from Michigan about a bow-tie wearing kid named Michael, Panda forgets to…

In light of finally completing a game on PlayStation, Dropbear adjusts his review and recommendation about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019). He has some choice words about polygons, and Panda is head over tentacles in love with a new Detective-Action game. Breaking News! Elon Musk just unveiled his latest creation: A cyber-space-truck from hell …

We just found out that James Dean is making a come back and can't help but wonder who thought this was a good idea, and what other dead celebrities are making their rounds? Catch up on news about why people's lungs are suffering from vaping; there's a possible cross-over with Supernatural and Doraleous and Associates; Call of Duty game reviews from…

It's one of our favourite times of year! No, not post-election season (although that's really great too); it's Hallowe'en! So we reached out to our listeners and asked what really freaks them out. We weren't disappointed. Terrifying elections, campy horror movies, blobs, nude jawas, and more. We even uncover some unsettling truths about what makes …

We have a lot to be thankful for in Canada - you know, things like Haunted Houses, super-fun elections, and the fact that we won't dwell on holiday stuff during this episode. You're welcome. From homicidal clowns, to occupying bridges, to epic movie soundtracks that haven't happened, we cover it all with reckless abandon. To top it off we send a bi…

There's a lot going on in Dropbear and Panda Land™ from recent film and theatre projects to terrifying people in haunted houses — all this amid the backdrop of some of the biggest brands reducing their presence in the world. Is it the economy, bureaucracy, or something else entirely like climate change or homicidal dwarves? You be the judge. Kick b…

Things are happening in Canada. Some of it's liberating, some of it conservative by nature, other parts are green, and there's a subtle whiff of something new and democratic. Aliens are ready to party but the Powers That Be have pooh-poohed the idea; someone is sorry for messing up an entire Kingdom; an adorable seal foils the escape of a drug deal…

We're back from our summer break with tales from far away lands. Lands that have actual summertime, and cheese. Lots and lots of cheese. Can you have too much cheese? Click here to find out. Canada, as you may or may not know, is HUGE. Like, really big. We have a lot of water; almost as much water as there is cheese, truth be told. We rented a lodg…

We're going to take August off for a well deserved vacation but before we go, we've got a new Sock Jingle AND we invite you to invade the Bermuda Triangle! At your own peril, of course. This is a weird one! We talk death by meteors, why eating poisonous bugs is a bad idea, paying for redundant surveys about redundant redundancy, we even touch on a …

Episode 52 brings you controversy after controversy after controversy! What does it all mean??!? Listen to this episode to find out more! Is Lashana Lynch really the next 007? Are Canadians really taking over the Marvel Universe? (Looking at you, Simu Liu!) And what is the connection between the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing and th…

There's a thing about to go down in Roswell and Area 51 and it just so happens this is 'Dropbear and Panda Save the World Podcast of Destiny' Episode 51. Coincidence? We think not. The Calgary Stampede is winding down, GlobalFest is winding up, Panda owes Dropbear a steak dinner because the USA won the World Cup in soccer last week, Lime Scooters m…

We really don't know why she bets against Dropbear, but Panda loses again with Bacon Pancakes on the line! It's the final weekend of the Women's World Cup Soccer and we are all in — there's a steak dinner at stake. Er. Steak? Ummm. Meat. We get into it about the Calgary Stampede, the way the USA does parades, filibusters in Alberta politics, our fa…

It’s the Canada Day long weekend, and it’s episode 49, and we’re above the 49th parallel — coincidence?! This episode is all about moose, maple trees and hosers! Oh, and Panda loses the first World Cup Soccer bet of the season. We talk everything Canada today from obscure Canadian tv shows to beavers to the most Canadian story ever told: a man from…

We are starting off our second year with episode 48 and we've made it to 53 countries around the globe! We'd like to thank you for your support; We can't save the world without you! Rob Mitchelson sends us his latest Sock Jingle as suggested by fellow podcaster @soundtrackcast. Dropbear adopted a magpie much to Newton's chagrin, our studio is now w…

Exactly one year ago we started the Dropbear and Panda Save the World Podcast of Destiny™ with an episode featuring our friend Badger as he was embarking on a six month motorcycle tour starting in Ireland and ending in Russia. 47 episodes later, over 11,000 downloads across 40 countries, Dropbear and Panda are still saving the world, and Badger is …

Panda is back and she is fired up! Two weeks ago The Panda of Wonder™ left to parts unknown for a top secret acting gig that has her sworn to secrecy ... or does it? From the exciting world of Internet trickery we talk about fake videos, 'Muffit' the space dog from Battlestar Galactica, Elon Musk's spiffy new starship fleet, why you shouldn't use G…

Panda is still away on a sooper-secret acting mission so Dropbear —left to his own devices— invites Luke Saber over to talk about life, the universe, and everything ... particularly video games and his most secret (not anymore) barbecue secrets and baking bacon. What else do you need to know? Dropbear has since stolen the secret and is including it…

Dropbear is all alone for a couple weeks while Panda is away at a Top Secret acting gig so this will be a short episode with Dropbear and the incredible sock jingle created by Rob Mitchelson! Dropbear —the 'Urban Farmer'— has planted his hot pepper seeds and is anxiously awaiting his magic bean seeds from the Upper Canada Seed Bank, so in the mean …

This week we announced the winner of the Dropbear and Panda's Jingle Genre Extravaganza and it's Lisa Wilson for suggesting what is now our new favourite music genre, 'Chap Hop'. We cover some heavy topics coming out of Alabama this week but balance it out talking about Dropbear's new hobby involving 'magic beans', Canada's first 'body farm', the p…

It's mother's day and our gift to moms everywhere and to everyone who has one or knows a mom, we give you... this podcast. You're welcome. It's a weird one this week as we go from antibiotic resistant bacteria to climate change to functional extinction. It may sound dire BUT... we bring it all back with the most recent, epic, amazing, glorious and …

We're battling giant white-out blizzards and massive destructive floods! Is it the apocalypse? Nope, it's just springtime in Canada. Geeks, cosplayers, film stars and space aliens have invaded our fair city the past few days for the Calgary Expo, and we discuss a few connections we have with some of the attractions there. All Canadian teams are out…
