  • Make It Make Sense: Our New Game About the News (Yes, It Includes a Goat)
    Jul 6 2025

    This week, we debut our new game Make It Make Sense—where real Canadian news headlines get mashed into chaotic word salads and Lisa and Steve try to untangle what actually happened. A goat causes highway mayhem, processed meats get cancelled, and the Pope revives an old vacation spot. Also: AI scams, boa constrictors, dishwasher disasters, and why nobody in the UK seems to own a dryer. It’s part quiz show, part news roundup, part fever dream.

    Who won the game? Who lost faith in humanity? And what does it all mean for your debit card and your salami sandwich? Hit play and find out.
