In this Halloween special, Jeremy MacKenzie @JeremyMacKenzi joins the conversation to discuss surveillance, government overreach, and the cost of speaking out in Canada. As a public figure often scrutinized by authorities, Jeremy shares his experiences dealing with intense government monitoring, media narratives, and the personal challenges faced by those who challenge the status quo. The discussion also explores the impact of censorship on public discourse and the challenges of maintaining transparency in the face of systemic resistance.
Legal and Social Consequences Jeremy recounts his journey from being labelled in the media to dealing with intense government oversight, including intelligence agencies monitoring his actions. He speaks on the strain this has put on his personal life and those around him, illustrating individuals' challenges when they enter the public eye.
"Fed" Labels and the Dangers of Public Perception Jeremy addresses the recurring "fed" label—being accused of acting as a government informant—and the dangers associated with this narrative. He explains how these accusations can isolate individuals within their communities, intensify risks, and create mistrust among peers, making it more challenging to advocate for change.
Nova Scotia Election & Premier Tim Houston’s Connection The conversation turns to the recent Nova Scotia election announcement, where Premier Tim Houston’s actions may connect to Jeremy’s prior criminal trial. Jeremy discusses the implications of Houston’s possible influence, raising questions about fairness in the legal process when political figures are involved and how these ties illustrate broader issues of power and influence within Canadian politics.

Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
