In Week 40 of their 52-week countdown, Dave and Candace Rae reflect on the passage of time, major milestones—including Candace celebrating 485 days of sobriety—and lessons learned through life’s different seasons. A recent parent-teacher conference sparks a candid conversation about public school memories, the evolution of education, and the art of the interview.

From quirky hiring questions and childhood classroom chaos to the unique rhythm of live morning radio versus free-flowing podcasts, the pair dive deep into why modern culture is obsessed with being "busy" and the hidden weight of social media’s "performance debt." Plus, Candace shares details on her upcoming 5-week mindful art series, Inward, and the hosts offer heartfelt reflections on family history, lineage, grief, and the importance of holding onto meaningful moments before time slips away.

Hitting the road for an on-the-go edition, Dave and Candace Rae take listeners along for a ride through Winnipeg as they close in on an incredible milestone: nearly 500 days of sobriety. En route to a media night at The Sober Market on Academy, the pair reflect on how their lifestyles, social circles, and bank accounts have shifted since giving up alcohol. From navigating bar culture and the awkward truth of drunk conversations to rediscovering the joy of zero-proof craft brews and fancy mocktails, they offer an honest, funny, and grounded look at alcohol-free living.

The ride also detours through plenty of nostalgic memories, including classic Sunday night cruises down Portage Avenue, vintage dream cars, sidecar motorcycles, and late-night Frank's Pizza orders. Whether you're curious about the sober movement or just love candid marital banter from the front seat, join Dave and Candace for a warm, insightful journey behind the wheel.

11 weeks in on the countdown clock of 52, Dave and Candace Rae hit Week 42 of their journey before officially shipping out of Winnipeg! As the endless barrage of "So, where are you actually moving?" rolls in, the couple reveals how they’ve turned the secrecy into a game—humorously deflecting every nosey inquiry with a deadpan "We're moving to space."

That playful deflection sparks an honest, hilarious deep dive into interplanetary living. While Dave is completely captivated by futuristic space exploration and off-world ambition, Candace Rae makes it crystal clear that leaving Earth is definitely not on her bucket list. From sci-fi daydreams, the conversation turns back to home turf: reflecting on Winnipeg’s shifting landscape, immigration, local civic politics, and the broader identity of the city. Dave reflects on 25 years of living in the Prairies while Candace Rae revisits memories of growing up here, exploring how much Winnipeg has evolved—and what it really feels like to pack up and say goodbye.
