At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we’ll go to maintain it. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Apple Cider Vinegar yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts .…
Yes yes, we didn’t do last week. Lots of stuff has happened. We were to drive to Quebec last week, but the weather didn’t cooperate. Isabelle will head over there next week. The break is over, so I’ll be back teaching. There are Canadian flags everywhere! I’m not going to talk about him.
We skipped last week for a good reason The awesome Noëlla Guimond, Isabelle’s Maman, died last week. She had a huge impact on our lives of course, but, she affected many others. Her work was always about lifting other people up. Remember that. Oh yeah, and the USA sucks. You can take your trade war and shove it. I’ll see Maddie in a couple of months. Hey, maybe Isabelle will go to Germany! Oh yeah, it snows a lot again.…
Oh the picture? It’s the first thing that came up when I searched on ‘Not Very Structured and Weird’. Isabelle has some exhibitions coming up. Oh and a workshop! I’m used to my schedule. We went a little later today, so the episode is coming out a little later, stop complaining. Jon is doing great at the U.…
Weird weather today, not that bad then really cold. My brother got in a car accident, spoiler alert, he’s fine. His car isn’t. Isabelle has a workshop tonight and more coming up. I’m finally getting used to my schedule, so I think I’m good. Again, my brother is fine, thanks Hyundai.
So, what is the etiquette on saying Happy New Year? Is it too late? If so, screw you, you can’t have a Happy New Year from us! Short one today. We got back on Tuesday from a week in London. London was great, we saw family, we went to a cool café that had board games. We went to the T and T superstore which was awesome. We had every possible type of weather on the drive there. This term is shaping up to be less, oh, let’s go with annoying.…
Hey, Happy New Year! Christmas Eve went off well, with ancient Roman food. Christmas went off well as well. We’ve been fixing up a room at home. Why is it so freaking warm? We’re going to see som live music tonight. That will be at a bar I’ve never heard of!
We went early today to avoid the nightmare that is Christmas groceries. It worked! I cashed in points today, so the groceries cost 9 bucks. We also were going to get our wheels re torqued, but that will wait until Monday. Making more bits and bites this week. I made shortbread this week, its gone. I’ll make sugar cookies this afternoon.…
A little later today. It’s time to make the méli mélo. The streets are still pretty messy. It was a madhouse in the store today. The plumbing thing is basically done, so that’s good. The bits and bites are now in the oven actually.
More snow. Isabelle has a workshop today, I hope she can do it in person. Like I said, more snow. I gave an exam this week, the term is done! One day we will retire. Jon is a shovelling machine
SO yeah, we got 80 cm of snow Thursday night. Needless to say, Friday was a snow day. Of course I didn’t have to teach anyway. Jon and I took 2.5 hr to shovel the driveway. I went from BBQing stuff and hanging laundry outside to, well, this. I think our street got more snow than anyone, somehow.
Nice day today. Indeed, I’d take my bike out if it weren’t such a pain. We watched the Snake River Canyon jump, err, Mike Tyson fighting Logan Paul. It was fun, also Isabelle watched sports. It was brutal. The two middle fights were actually pretty good. Isabelle has lots of art projects on the go.
Hey we’re back! We haven’t been doing things as the Internet Archive was down and that’s where we put the audio. Could one today, though it did warm up. Lots of useless trucks in the parking lot today. I didn’t get one of my favourite cashiers. Work is repetitive currently. Isabelle has projects, as usual. I got my COVID and flu shots and had side effects.…
A day late. A day late because the recording screwed up yesterday, well part of it anyway. I don’t even know if the part about crazy fur and sparkles is in the episode actually. Isabelle had her final night of her installation. Our buses here are like Uber aft 6 on weekends, so that was interesting. We seem to keep forgetting things. The wind today is insane.…
OK, like when will summer end? It’s going up to like 28 today. Jon came along, and got the movie you see in the past. Isabelle has a big day, she is presenting an installation today and next week for Ontario Culture Days. It’s a long process, going from the early conceptual days to today. Isabelle takes you through it. I will come down tonight on my bike to help her out. Oh also, I picked up a few season s of the Twilight Zone.…
Hey, Jon came today! (He didn’t talk much, but he was there). I’m used to my schedule sort of. I got my favourite cashier. Grey and 18 today. Oh we went to the library too. There are murals all over town, here’s one with this post!
