Jann just got back from a trip to Toronto to surprise Marilyn Dennis for her last week of shows on TV and shares about her visit & her thoughts on the Alberta election. Inspired by a friend's preparation for a backyard water balloon fight, Jann and Sarah discuss childhood summer memories and share some voice notes that came in from listeners! Jann asks Sarah what she thinks about Al Pacino expecting a baby at 83 years old with his 29 year-old wife. Jann also gives Sarah a pep-talk for her sister's wedding weekend complete with some great advice for anyone being asked why they don't have a partner or a ring on their finger. Keep sending us your summer songs, stories and anything else @JannArdenPod!

Jann and Sarah remember Tina Turner, the QUEEN of Rock 'N Roll, who passed away this week at eighty-three. Special guest Gavin Crawford joins the show to talk about his new podcast, Let's Not Be Kidding; a seven-part series about a comedian, his mom, and her dementia. In this seven-part series, Gavin tells the story of losing his mother — his best friend and the inspiration for a lot of his comedy — to a disease that can be as hilarious as it is heartbreaking. He’s also joined by family and comedian friends including; Jann, Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), Aurora Browne (Baroness Von Sketch Show), and Nora McClellan (Son of A Critch). 

Jann and Sarah talk about summer romance and how the sunshine can not only change our moods, but our romantic lives! That (very quickly) lead them down memory lane to recount how they both lost their virginity, when their parents caught them, and more! Send them a voicenote about your first time @JannArdenPod and they may play your story on the show next week!

Jann and Caitlin are reunited for a special episode where they catch up on life, the MET Gala and the Coronation.
