22/09/2026

Kick off the new season of Harmonious Gentlemen with a deep, candid, and hilarious dive into our complicated relationships with food, drink, dining out, and the wild world of the service industry.

In this season premiere, we’re joined by special guest Rieley, owner of the iconic Alberta restaurants Cilantro and Chive (Lacombe & Red Deer). Together, we pull back the curtain on what really goes into creating a standout dining experience, the psychology behind our favorite comfort foods, and the chaos, passion, and community that drive the modern restaurant scene.

Whether you’re a lifelong foodie, a seasoned industry worker, or just someone who appreciates a good meal and a great drink, this episode serves up a perfect mix of deep insights, belly laughs, and honest conversation.

The Wakefield Effect: How Bad Science Fuelled Vaccine Hesitancy
Andrew Wakefield’s 1998 study linking the MMR vaccine to autism sparked one of the most influential—and damaging—public health controversies of our time. In this episode of Harmonious Gentlemen, we unpack how flawed science, media amplification, and misplaced skepticism helped popularize vaccine hesitancy. This is a conversation about evidence, accountability, and why responsible science communication matters now more than ever.

Why is doing the right thing together so hard? In this episode, we’re joined by Ross Smillie, who brings wisdom and clarity to a conversation about collective action—its promise, its pitfalls, and its unintended consequences. We dig into the Tragedy of the Commons, real-world examples of shared responsibility breaking down, and what this means for everything from environmental issues to social change. A thoughtful, grounded discussion about why cooperation matters—and why it so often fails.

This episode is a bit different. Recently, the Gents were asked by their friends at Red Hart Brewing to host their famously-fun quiz night. This sounds like a lot of fun, and it was, but it’s difficult as well. With the pressure mounting, the Gents got together to go through their trivia questions in preparation for the great event. They don’t discuss much, and aren’t challenged to be harmonious, but they ask a lot of medium-to-hard questions about people and their accomplishments! If you like trivia, this episode is for you - it’s designed for you to play along. If this isn’t for you, go back 100 episodes or so and find something that piques your interest. There’s gotta be something decent back there!
