Brian Callahan, a descendant of the Dionne family, joins the show to discuss the phenomenon that was the Dionne Quintuplets. Brian, who recently stepped down from the Quints Museum board, shares his perspective of how the exploitation of the quintuplets for financial gain affected the family (there were 14 children in all). He also reveals some hard truths as we approach the 90th anniversary of their birth.

Dave and Scott also discuss the recent drama revolving around the North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority.
