The Group Chat

Group Chat - Ep 20

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 15:31:57 +0000

This week, KP navigates the emotional rollercoaster of becoming a kindergarten parent and reveals her unique crying habits. The conversation takes a surprisingly deep turn as we talk about watching our parents age while somehow never picturing them as "old." Then things get weird when KP explains why she thinks prison life might actually be kind of chill, leading to a discussion about what we'd want written in our obituaries. We wrap things up with Jeff's latest battle: convincing himself to drink water on a regular basis. As always, it's a journey.

Group Chat - Episode 19 - Thursday Sept 3/2026

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 15:36:20 +0000

KP returns from her two-week East Coast vacation with stories, observations, and a surprising confession about the job she wanted in high school. We discuss the little things bringing us joy right now, why shark attacks might be the ultimate way to go out, and whether hotel duvets are as horrifying as we suspect. Plus, we tackle one of life's greatest frustrations: if you've got food in your teeth or you stink, do people have an obligation to tell you? It's another completely normal episode of The Group Chat

Group Chat - Episode 18 - Thursday, August 13, 2026

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:05:41 +0000

This week: We solve the world's biggest problem...is there anything better than a hug? (KP invents the term "Melty Hug" and refuses to apologize for it.) She's also about to go on her first family vacation with kids and no diapers, we wonder why we're now buying back all the stuff we used to own at thrift stores, and Jeff wants an Air Canada captain's hat through a friend of a friend. The big question: cool souvenir or stolen valor?

Group Chat - Episode 17 - Thurs July 30/26

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:47:36 +0000

Jeff, KP & Backstage Ben – The Podcast

Is summer burnout a real thing, or are we all just tired from saying yes to every BBQ, patio, kids' tournament, cottage weekend, and birthday party on the calendar? This week, they guys talk about the weird guilty feeling that hits after a big weekend of food, drinks, and questionable decisions. KP recaps her Summermis Party, and somehow the conversation takes a sharp turn into her staph infection-filled belly button and the decision to get into a hot tub anyway. Between exhaustion, regret, and medical choices that probably shouldn't have happened, it's another completely normal episode.

Group Chat - Episode 16 - Thurs July 23/26

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 11:14:05 +0000

This one takes a turn fast. We start with Rock The Park, which may or may not be responsible for KP's infected bellybutton, then somehow spiral into a discussion about infections, ailments, and the surprising number of things that can go wrong with the human body. We also ask whether hoodies and crew necks are officially out and if the often-mocked V-neck is making a comeback. Plus, Part II of "Everybody Knows a Doug" as you weigh in on the most Doug-like names in Canada and the stereotypes that come with them. It's educational, fashionable, and mildly concerning all at the same time.

Group Chat - Episode 15 - Thurs July 9/2026

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 15:25:54 +0000

Jeff goes down the rabbit hole of online shopping for questionable bargains, from knockoff designer colognes to those monthly subscription boxes that somehow keep showing up on your credit card. Along the way, the gang discovers why whale vomit is worth a shocking amount of money and why it's used in luxury fragrances. Plus, if you've ever bought or sold something on Facebook Marketplace, we share a few tricks to help you come out ahead. It's part consumer warning, part treasure hunt, and somehow it all makes sense.

Group Chat - Episode 14 - Thurs June 25/26

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 15:45:09 +0000

We let Ben’s parents review the show… and they DID NOT hold back.

Then Jeff tries throwing a house party in his tiny new house (bad idea), KP reveals she might be surviving entirely off Skittles, and we seriously question why she doesn’t just work at the store she basically lives in for the employee discount.

BUT HERE’S THE TWIST — Backstage Ben is officially broken…he can only taste salt.

This episode has everything: brutal feedback, terrible life decisions, and one guy who might need a factory reset.

Group Chat - Episode 13 - Thurs June 11/26

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:01:47 +0000

This episode gets wild as we unpack Benny’s alleged foot fetish, debate polar bear tours, and question if swimming actually counts as working out. We also take a nostalgic trip back to the 90s selling Avon vitamins… and KP shares how her own kid completely conned her. It’s chaos, it’s relatable, and it spirals quick.

Group Chat - Episode 12 - Thurs June 4, 2026

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 15:17:14 +0000

KP decided THE SHOW was the perfect time to do her makeup… live… on-air… with zero shame.

Meanwhile, Benny’s dealing with a full-blown “rage virus eye situation” (doctor? maybe. panic? definitely), and somehow that’s NOT the craziest story this episode.

Add in KP missing yet another major event — like… statistically impossible at this point — plus Benny’s new kitten turning his life into chaos, and you’ve got one of our most unhinged episodes yet.

🎧 Makeup fails. Eye drama. Missed moments. Kitten madness.
You don’t want to miss this one.

Group Chat - Episode 11 - Thurs May 28/26

Thu, 28 May 2026 14:55:33 +0000

This episode hits straight in the nostalgia. We dive into the one feeling you can’t recreate as an adult - no matter how much cash you’ve got — and take a trip back to our latchkey kid era, when life was chaotic, unsupervised, and somehow perfect.

From the hilariously awkward pet names we learned in sex ed to the random, borderline insane ways we used to kill flies, it’s a mix of childhood memories you forgot you had… and probably shouldn’t revisit.

👉 It’s weird, it’s funny, and it’ll make you miss being a kid with zero responsibilities

Group Chat - Episode 10 - Thu May 21/2026

Fri, 22 May 2026 14:42:09 +0000

Jeff, KP, and Backstage Ben dive into the harsh reality; everybody has a podcast now - so what actually makes one worth listening to? Jeff breaks down his “laser vision” (it gets weird), and Ben casually reveals he’s the voice of a Vegas landmark.

We also get real about fears — like why heights still mess with grown adults — and how kids today are living a totally different, way more “squishy” life than we did.

Group Chat - Episode 9 - Thurs May 14/2026

Thu, 14 May 2026 16:25:03 +0000

From witnessing childbirth to the surprising things we’ve officially sworn off, this weeks episode covered a lot of ground. Also, have we’ve reached our “quit things” age? Plus, a chat about how cannabis has gone from taboo to totally mainstream.

Group Chat - Episode 8 - April 30/2026

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:51:11 +0000

This weekend we slow things down — talking about the comeback of CD, vinyl, and even cassettes as more people look to unplug and enjoy music the old‑school way.

Then we jump into baby name trends, and things have taken a turn. While Liam and Olivia still top the charts, names like Maverick, Genesis, and Nova are climbing past traditional picks like Thomas, Sophie, and Grace. Meanwhile, newer names like Truce and Icelynn are surging as parents lean toward names that feel more unique and meaningful.

We also look at which classic names are fading out — and why naming trends are shifting so quickly right now.

Group Chat - Episode 7 - April 23/26

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:45:12 +0000

Frozen grapes that missed the mark, pretzels making a surprise appearance, and a few questionable snack choices along the way. We also swap medical procedure stories because apparently that’s where the conversation naturally went.

Then we’re joined by Chris Costello, chair of the Big Bash - Ozdust Ball, in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of London and Area. He shares what’s planned for this year’s event happening May 29 at The Hunt Club and why it’s a night that makes a real difference in the community.

Fun, weird, meaningful. Pretty standard episode.

Group Chat - Episode 6 - April 16/26

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 14:58:30 +0000

This episode goes completely off the rails.

Jeff trusted his daughters to buy him a new cologne, and it backfired in a way nobody saw coming. Is it secretly awful? Are they pranking him? Or is Jeff nose‑blind and walking around offending the entire city?

Meanwhile, KP goes full vigilante for the average shopper, diving deep into what happened to customer service. Why does no one care anymore? Who broke retail? And can KP fix it before he gets kicked out of another store?

One man smells bad.
One man fights for justice.
Customer service is on trial.

Watch/listen until the end — it somehow gets worse.

Group Chat - Episode 5 - April 9/26

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 15:11:15 +0000

Group Chat - Episode 4 - Thu, Apr 2/26

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 15:43:25 +0000

We cover a little bit of everything in this one.

From Artemis II and what astronauts actually experience during launch, to whether there’s any sense of humor inside NASA, the conversation takes a few turns.

We also get into risk vs. career choices, Benny’s still-undefeated trivia run in 2026, Ben’s new swimming routine, KP searching for a passion, and the unexpected joy of horror movies

Group Chat - Episode 3 - March 26/26

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 14:05:05 +0000

We kicked things off asking if animals secretly judge each other… or just eat each other, then somehow ended up on dolphins, “Mexican camels,” and Kelly (KP) feeding anything that moves.

Jeff nearly has a pro-level meat moment, but it takes a weird turn into a burnt cream pie debate.

It’s random, it’s chaotic, and it makes way more sense than it should.

New episode live — come hang with us.

Group Chat - Episode 2 - March 19/26

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 15:40:58 +0000

We covered everything from weird breakfast choices to regrettable tattoos, Rockstar Doctors and somehow ended up debating nicknames, “The Wife,” and letting your kids win at games.
It’s messy, it’s honest, it’s very Group Chat.
