Milestone Alert! This is 30th episode of Off The Record with Jordan Rance! Today I spend some time talking about my New Year's Resolutions, my thoughts on the Stranger Things finale, the insane "glamorization" of smoking is making a comeback?!

Eddie Panting joins me to talk about the privilege of being a combat sports coach, a lifelong student of philosophy, and someone I personally look up to as a mentor and an inspiration. Born in Thunder Bay and raised in Winnipeg, Eddie’s life journey includes time spent in federal prison, a deep commitment to self-mastery, and a passion for combat sports, fitness, and personal growth. We dive into men’s mental health and the stigma around vulnerability, philosophy, horror movies, heavy metal music, video games, conspiracy theories, and what it really takes to turn your life around. This is an honest, wide-ranging conversation about discipline, darkness, and becoming who you’re meant to be.

This is last episode of 2025! Today I talk about Netflix merging with Warner Bros, the Kansas City Chiefs on possibly not making the playoffs, and I share my opinion on the "6-7" trend.

Did you know that the Duffer Brothers might have filmed scenes for the ending years ago?

In this episode, we explore the wild theories surrounding the finale of Stranger Things and how it could all tie back to the beginning.

YouTuber/Influencer Andrew Jennings joins me to dive deep into their world of acting, cosplay, and the art of bringing characters to life. We explore their lifelong fascination with the movie-making process. From crafting costumes and props through 3D printing to understanding what makes a scene emotionally land. Andrew opens up about how creativity has shaped not only their career, but their sense of identity and purpose. We get real about what it means to be a modern content creator: the pressures, the rewards, and the balancing act between passion projects and audience expectations. Andrew talks about finding community through cosplay, navigating the evolving landscape of YouTube, and the pure joy that comes from making something cool with your own hands. Whether you're into acting, filmmaking, cosplay, or just love hearing from genuinely creative people, this episode offers a fun, insightful look into the mind of a multi-talented artist who's constantly building, performing, and inspiring.

This week I share my thoughts and give my opinion on Jake Paul boxing former heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua. As well as I talk about living life to the fullest and to not be afraid of taking risks, as that is what life is all about.

In this episode, I emphasize the importance of recognizing mental health as an integral part of overall health. I advocate for open discussions about feelings and mental well-being, urging society to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health issues. I highlight the shared human experience, suggesting that despite our differences, we all face similar emotional challenges.

It’s a new era for Off the Record. New setup, new camera, and a fresh vibe. In this episode, I talk about the World Series (and why I think Toronto was the real winner), dive into how Gen Z earned the nickname “the burnout generation,” and share a few random thoughts along the way. It’s one of those laid-back, catch-up episodes. Just me and some real 'off the record' talk.
