This time around, Edward T's friend from Denver, Katy Wegner, joins them in the studio for a discussion that has a more positive spin. Instead of talking about what's not to like about life, they discuss what there is to like about it, specifically, the things they find worth living for!

Episode 14.5 - Fans Extra - The More, The Merrier: Hilary's Ex-Work Spouse, John Morgan!

Hilary's ex-work spouse, John Morgan, is in the studio and he clues us in to some parts of Hilary we've never heard before - right on!
(Be patient, may take a few minutes to download)
Time: 53:00

THE MORE, THE MERRIER: HILARY'S EX-WORK SPOUSE, JOHN MORGAN!

Hilary and Edward T welcome John Morgan, Hilary’s Ex-Work Husband into the studio. Rather than find out more about John, Edward T decides he needs to bitch and so it happens again.

Edward T has a theory that morning people are grouchy, and Hilary then declares she is a morning person (?). John disagrees. So does Edward T.

We also find out that Hilary drives like a dude!

Then the group catches up on the holidays: John visited his family, Hilary ate chocolate and got hurt, which spurs discussion of socialized medicine. Edward T worked during the holidays. No wonder he's so grumpy.

He also rants about people who don't pay attention to what he says. What’s new?

It turns out that John doesn't have much love for Facebook; then Edward T tells a story of almost putting his foot in his mouth, stopping himself for the first time, perhaps ever.

Hilary is amazed that it's 2010 already, what the hell?! Then, come to find out, Hilary and Edward T actually agree on something, they both love the film "Blade Runner", which leads John and Edward T to recommend "The Watchmen" to Hilary.

Episode 14 - Misanthropic Family Values - Jan 21st 2010

Hilary and Edward T invite their guest, John Morgan - Hilary's work husband - to chime in on Edward T's rants about people and things he feels society has signed off on, but Edward T does not.

Time: 1:02:15

MISANTHROPIC FAMILY VALUES!

Hilary and Edward T have invited another guest to the show to start off 2010, and his name is John Morgan! He's a friend and coworker of Hilary's (and her work husband), and he's the perfect fit between the two of them. A scientist, ala Hilary, but definitely a man's man, ala Edward T.

First, they welcome John and get to know him, but not without talking about "The A-Team" and "Star Trek" first (Edward T later confesses his crush for Lt. Uhura).

So it has already been confirmed that Edward T is a solid misanthrope. This time, he goes into more detail about why he actually likes being a misanthrope and brings up a couple of issues that make him think outside the mainstream.

As usual, Hilary has some disagreements with Edward T, but John chimes in to set the record straight!

Edward T discovers that he thinks just like Stan Smith from "American Dad"; Hilary is tired of the word "douchebag".

Edward T feels like he has been surrounded by crazy people (except Hilary - but by a small margin). This leads him to regale a tale of dating a crazy woman, and leads he and Hilary to ask: how do you define crazy?

Also: Caller extraordinaire J.P. Giuliotti is back and has a tale of an absurd date from his past!

A Special Year-End Podcast, From Hilary’s Trip To The Canadian Rockies Last Summer, August 16th Thru The 23rd, 2009, Our New Year’s Gift To You!

Week-Long Alpine Club Fall Hiking Camp at the Stanley Mitchell Hut in Little Yoho Valley (Canadian Rockies)




From the urban wilderness to the actual wilderness and back again.

Almost every year from the age of six to sixteen, Hilary spent a week of her summer vacation in the northern Canadian Rocky Mountains with her sister and parents at the annual Family Camp run by the international mountaineering organization known as the Alpine Club.

They would hook up with other ACC-affiliated families, drive out to the middle of the Rocky Mountains, hike in with enough food and gear for a week, and live communally in a rustic log cabin. Days were spent hiking, nights eating, playing cards, and sitting by the wood stove with friends.

The very first of these trips took place in 1977, shortly after Hilary's family moved out west to Edmonton for her dad's new government job as a computer systems analyst.

The camp that year was in the Little Yoho Valley, one of the most scenic and hikeable areas in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and the group stayed at the Stanley Mitchell Hut; many similar cabins owned by the Alpine Club are found throughout the mountain range, and serve as staging points for mountaineers to take hiking, climbing or skiing day trips deeper into the wilderness than is possible if they had to start from a parking lot near the freeway.

Thirty-two years later, this August, Hilary met up with her dad and sister to participate in the adult Fall camp organized by the Alpine Club at the same hut – the Stanley Mitchell in Little Yoho Valley.

Listen in as Hilary shares daily highlights from her audio diary, reflects on how that early wilderness experience shaped her life and comments on how the area has changed in the past three decades.

Day 0: On The Freeway: Seattle to Abbotsford (Two Parts)
Before you can hike, you have to drive; Hilary drives across the Canadian border to pick up her father and sister from a rural BC airport.
