Pizza is a big deal in Whistler and the discussion about which pizza joint has best pie is always up for debate. Thankfully myself and Tyler decided to provide our professional pizza opinion to help clear the air. We chose basic pepperoni from 4 of Whistler Take-out/Delivery pie shops: Fat Tony's, Misty Mountain, Functional Pie and Avalanche. (Dominos is in a class of it's own) You'll have to listen to find out the results of round 1. Stay tuned for more rounds and more food.

Whistler's Casual Pizza Battle Royale with Myself and Ty Clevette (Round 1)

This is EP #45 with Pete Thompson. We drink a few beers and chat. We talk about the brief history of my Podcast, grocery store social problems, what groceries say about you, what only buying TP says about you, spices, how funny and not funny falling down the stairs is, would you consumer Bull semen for $100,000, or try for a $1,000,000 if you had to get it yourself first? There is a bit about the stampede in there and some other stuff. All very funny.   Thanks for listening or watching! Tell your friends, or strangers even.   Youtube: https://youtu.be/hs6g0cTsqLg Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/09ee53wuyMO0N2ociW9sGR?si=9c10d7ded53a4397 iTunes:

Breakfast is also a big deal in Whistler and the discussion about who has the best breakfast wrap (and to some, burrito) is a long standing issue. Might not be talked about much, but this matters. Also, Whistler food shops, please decide if what you have is a wrap or burrito. Anyway, we review Moguls, Alpine Cafe, Mount Currie (Whistler) and Delish Cafe in Function. Hope you enjoy.

This is Angela Percival and this is EP #44. Ange is the staff photographer at Arc'teryx and has been at for like 15 years(?). I met Ange in 2011 when I started working there and we were commuting buddies for a few years. Ange has been around the world for work and travel and we talk all about it. We talk about her inspiration, being meaningful and what role we all play in life, and what our contribution means to the world around us. She tells me how she watched her home town burn down around the family home while visiting her family back in Australia. We also discuss what being home really means and a bunch more. It was great and I really enjoyed catching up. We talk photography, too. Thank you for the time, Ange and I look forward to our next chat or pedal or ski... Thanks as always for those who listen or watch. Everyone of you count and I appreciate it!

This is EP #43 with Ian McIntosh and Me. I first met Ian when I was the athlete manager for Whistler Blackcomb back around 2007 when the ski industry was in its prime.  Ian is a professional big mountain skier and has been sliding on two sticks since he was 2.  His ski career has taken him to the Freeride World Tour and made him a staple in the Teton Gravity Research (TGR) film family for more than a decade. He still travels to ski and film, but now balances his ski life with his growing family and stacking his guiding certs to plan for the future. I It was great to connect with Ian again and chat skiing, health, nutrition, aliens, being a dad and other stuff we will need to finish next time! Thanks for taking the time to join me on the show, Ian! Really great to catch up. Thanks for taking the time to join me on the show, Ian! Really great to catch up.

This is Kyle Black and this is #EP 42. I've known Kyle for a few years now, we met while working at Lululemon. We both lasted about a year there. Kyle has been in Whistler like 10 years I think and he currently manages a legendary snowboard shop here in Whistler, Showcase Snowboards. We have a great talk about things we learned in retrospect from past jobs, we talk about brands, aliens, Kyle's road to Whistler, how we both went to the same collage, his semi recent diagnosis with Crohn's disease and his ongoing management of it, we also compare our appendicitis stories and a bunch more. Really fun chat and I look forward to having Kyle on the show again. Thanks for the time, Kyle! *Video Alert: The video cuts out with about 30 mins left in the podcast. Made me feel kind of nostalgic and just like old times in the early days of this Casual experience when that kind of shit happened on the reg.  Big ? to all those who watch or listen.

EP #41 and Tyler C. is back for a fourth time?  I can't remember.  Don't let the intro fool you, the audio is fine. Just a little peep into the BTS of this giant media corp. We talk about Tyler lending me his XBOX One which leads us into gaming for a bit, then we talk about quicksand, Alien motives, the difference between saying you are on Holiday and Vacation, selling cars, german actors, when is haggling appropriate, horrible highway construction, flipping you friends off after they wave to you, not recognizing people fast enough, and bunch more stuff. Tyler is funny as, mate!  Always good to have him on the show. Thanks again for the chat, Tyler! All the listeners and watchers are the real GOAT's.

Kristian Manietta is my guest for EP #40.

Kristian is originally from Australia and had spent years as a snowboard athlete before finally moving here full time. We talk about how he came to live in Whistler, "Everesting", snowboarding, health and conditioning, coaching, hunting and a bunch of other stuff that is worth listening to.

Madison Perry is my guest on EP #39. Madison is a Whistler local by way of Vancouver and is in the real estate game up here in the mountains. I mean, I guess it is a game, or gig or job... basically she sells homes to people. We talk about all that right out of the gate until the conversation turns to her early years coming to Whistler as a teenager, moto life, old people names, past jobs and other stuff like aliens, 23 and Me... Good talk all around. Thanks for chatting with me, Madison!  Thanks to all for listening and/or watching!   Find Madison on instagram @Madynopes Youtube:https://youtu.be/mf06GJ10020 Audio Links: Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/episode/69pBvkFC0TawAOpExMZxdh?si=Dp-Iq1jgQF-YgCZ6oSK5sg iTunes:https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/casual-with-ryan-proctor-featuring-madison-perry-39/id1451645972?i=1000502613103 #Podcast #Proctor #Casual #Whistler #MadisonPerry #TalkShow

Mark Abma = EP #38. I am going to assume if you are skier who follows skiing,  you know who Mark is, but just in case..  Mark is a professional skier and entrepreneur and seems to love being outside more than inside. His segment in MSP Seven Sunny Days (TV On Radio - Wolf Like Me song) from 2007 is for sure in my top 5 favourite seggies ever! That movie was also the first time I got to work with Mark. He was one of the first I heard of to convert cooking oil into fuel for his "monster" truck. We talk a little about skiing, but Mark fills me in on his personal wellness and health focus as well has his new project on Gambier Island with longtime friend Chris Turpin. We also talk about travel, his winter plans and as usual other stuff I forget about. It was a great chat and I think I'll be buying a brain wave headband soon, as well as a bidet. Thanks for the chat, Mark! Great to have you on the show!  You can find Mark on instagram @MarkAbma Video version on Youtube: https://youtu.be/I8Ys78GcPTE Audio links: Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/episode/3S65PiFTzEJkQi5FlXw6IN?si=-yZOtFYaS4qTCx-BOiwXVw Thanks for supporting the podcast!

First off, I need to thank Darren Rayner at Magnafire for helping salvage the file! So... Thanks, Darren! Eric Berger rings in from Gambier Island for EP #37.(Skype) Eric is a professional photographer hailing from Quebec and now lives between Whistler, Gambier Island and his VW camper van. He came to Whistler about 35 years ago and I've know him fo 13 years or something like that. We talk about skiing, photography, his Gambier Island retreat, BBQ'ing, his VW Van and probably some other stuff. It was great to catch up and the audio/video is way better other the random beeping that turned out to be my dishwasher and the cabin ambiance of the crackling fire. Great to chat with you, Eric! Thanks for joining me!  Thanks to all those who tune their ears into the show and double thanks to the who tune in there eyes as well!  Check out Eric's instagrams: @EricBergerPhoto@WhisperingCedarRetreat@TheVanagonDiaries   Youtube:https://youtu.be/FVG2sDf-1O4 Audio Links: Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0Nri7b9ws289uplNYT5g43?si=xidV7d6bT_Kfi1eNxP3Icg iTunes:https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/casual-with-ryan-proctor/id1451645972   #Proctor #Podcast #Casual #Whistler #TalkShow #photography #EricBerger

On the line with EP #36 and Smiley Nesbitt. Smiley is currently a realtor in Vancouver, but before that he was a few things including pro skier and could sink a turn better than most. Still can, I am sure. If you are from anywhere in Quebec, you probably have good style and as you can tell in this video his style followed him out west. He's one of the first pro's I met when I landed my first gig in the industry. I looked up to his rebelliousness and humour toward, well, most things and was excited to have him on the show. Anyway, he's a friendly dude and conversationalist, which that's perfect for a podcast like this. I am sure he's got more stories to tell and I hope we can get into more of those next time - in person! Thanks for the time, Smiley! And, sorry for being jittery and distracting during out chat.  Youtube: https://youtu.be/sodky5dLvho Audio links: Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/episode/1o6tJs5CbmoF3NAsICsTMi?si=mdzZO4aVROi6Js4kLNQJvg iTunes:In progress.

Been a while, eh?  This is EP #35 with Tristan Merrick.  Tristan and I met like 15 years ago while working for Whistler Blackcomb.  Over the years we worked more closely during our time with the iconic Crankworx mountain bike festival in Whistler where Tristan was an athlete turned announcer. His career has taken him around the globe announcing action sports events from mountain biking, to motocross, to trophy trucks, etc... He is now a local freelance producer working at a pretty well known yoga brand based in Vancouver. And, he is fresh into dad life.  Weak internet, odd audio, but a really good chat!  Hope you enjoy! Thanks for the time, Tristan!  You can find the video version on Youtube shortly. Or more audio on Spotify and itunes -  Also, shout out to the Shaw Cable for the most garbage internet north of the 49th.

I live in Whistler, BC. I started this podcast with no agenda. I like to talk to people, I like to laugh, I like to not take things too seriously and I am trying to become a better listener. These conversations are casual.
