   Callaway-Good Good, CBC/Sept 11 debacle, Dolly Parton, Doug Ford, Neutrogena, Flock

   This week, John and Warren discuss the fallout from the ill-advised Callaway-Good Good ad that turned into a week-long crisis, the firestorm around the CBC's editorial guideline about the use of the word 'terrorism' with respect to the upcoming 25th anniversary of 911, a look at Dolly Parton, who passed away earlier this week and who, over the course of six decades, masterfully cultivated and guarded an exceptional reputation, a recent interview by the CEO of Flock, Neutrogena's awkward 'tribute' to Hayden Panettiere, who also passed away recently and whom the brand dropped like a hot potato when she talked about post-partum depression on a talk show years ago and, finally, the chaotic situation between Canada and the United States, from renaming lakes to Ontario Premiers telling the US President to kiss certain parts of their anatomy. We hope you enjoy this episode and thanks for listening.
