Am I Right??

Sometimes you turn over a rock and you find dirt. But then, sometimes, you turn it over and you find THE dirt. In this case, we found the dirt on the Canadian contribution to world aeropace. Sometimes controversial. Sometimes boring. But NEVER boring. Oh wait, that doesn't make sense. If you want sense, however, then listen to THIS CAN'T MISS (we're missing some punctuation, right?) episode of Am I Right?? Jesse and Evan would like to present - The Other Wright Brothers - the Alternate History of the Aero-Plane. We'd like to thank, in alphabetical order of the second letter of their last names, research provided by the following: Chad Saunders, Ian Thomas Day, Juan Del Gado, Andrew Phung, Simon King, Nick Flanagan, Don Wood, Derek Hovinga, Russell Bowers, Sarah Wolfman Ford, Tyler Alexander Fraser, Jeff d'Silva, Mandy Stobo, and introducing Jon Wurster. Thanks also to the Free Music Archive for the tunes.

Hey, what's up? What are you doing? Not watching the Picnicface television program on the Comedy Network. Get your priorities straight, man! This is the best show going. Here's what you should do: stop doing what you're doing, zip through this episode of Am I Right?? and then get to watching the damn show! (http://picnicface.thecomedynetwork.ca) But listen to this for like an hour or whatever first - Evany Rosen from Picnicface is here, talking about everything under the stars, including the troposphere or whatever. I'd continue with this theme, but I don't know by spheres and where they are, wrt the stars. REGARDLESS, Evany talks Picnicface, the famous people that listen to Am I Right??, tells us all about Halifax, and lives vicariously through Stan Lee. ALSO - don't forget that funding drive is just around the corner - and for just a coupla bucks, you can get some pretty sweet stuff from the station, plus from jPod and Evan. Check out www.cjsw.com/funding, or email us at amiright@cjsw.com.

Every 2011 brings along the Loose Moose Homecoming Weekend, and with it, we have Mr. Dr. Andrew Phung, hilarious improviser, arm wrusslin' champ and the dude that gives Evan and Prudemaster J a ride to the Loose Moose whenever needed. What don't we cover here? That's a pretty long list... What do we cover here? Well, glad you asked - arm wrestling, the history of improv, what makes a good scene and just what questions are and are not too rude for a public radio program! Don't forget, CJSW Funding Drive 2011 is fast approaching - check us out at http://www.cjsw.com/funding.

Everyone's favourite Hold Your Applause host Adam Christie (@TheAdamChristie) joins along with his pal/roommate/buddy Dylan Gott (@DylanGott) on a fun Saturday afternoon to discuss cheque drops with Jesse and Evan. Not sure how you could miss out on this - I think we are going to apply for Guiness World Records funding for the longest ever discussion of cheque drops ever! Take that Comedy and Everything Else! (PS. Message those guys on Twitter to ask about their trip to Home Depot with Evan after the recording. It's in their contracts!)

Well, here he is, the man of the hour, the host of the Todd Glass Show, TODD GLASS! Watch or listen or whatever you do to our podcast and hear Todd perform a few little playlets for us, explain how he builds the characters' names in his plays and how these plays put his head into the game when making his new show - the Todd Glass Show! Also, our phone breaks near the end... Try to guess where and win a prize!!

Well, you probably know her from the Comedy Network. You probably know her from Comedy Monday Night. You probably know her from Twitter (@brookeperrin) or her ad where she's trying to sell her car on Kijiji (CHEAP!). Oh, I think I gave it away with her twitter handle. I always do that. Well, here's what YOU should always do: listen to the rich and famous Amanda Brooke Perrin on this episode of Am I Right??!

Here's one from the archives! Trent McClellan and the boys chat freewheelingly back in August 2011. Jesse and Evan are live in the studio, and they talk about Gabe Kaplan, Lizzy Caplan and who actually invented the best ever Groucho Marx impression. It's all so impressive. You don't have to take our word for it - you can just listen!

Um, yeah, sure, ah, Jesse and Evan couldn't make it to the station this week, because they clearly don't care. So I found a tape in the CJSW Tape Room. I guess that was an April Wine Greatest Hits retrospective or something. Not sure. Didn't listen. Anyway, I'm forcing these two to put this up in their stream because, well, they could use the punishment. After all, they punish us with their bullstuff every week. So here we are. Sorry. - Joe Burima, Program Manager, CJSW 90.9 FM. PS: I'd like to that the following people because those two idiots won't: Ian Thomas Day, Amanda Brooke Perrin, Tyler Alexander Frasier, Chad Ketchup Saunders, Grant Pinky Buchanan, and Sarah Jane Ford

Well, well, well, would you look at this... Straight from the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival, where he did a tight five regarding the bicentennial, the original Bicentennial Man himself, ANDY KINDLER, makes another return to the Am I Right?? studios via phone. Comedy's "Patch Adams," Andy dishes on DVD purchases, the Entourage telenovela and stands up for his old friend Brent Butt. As well, this interview features a discussion of twitter unlike any you've had since trying to explain it to your grandmother at the thanksgiving table. Listen for yourself, and listen for your family! Andy Kindler! Seriously!

On this week's podcast we have RYAN BELLEVILLE, creator, star, writer and producer of the Showcase Television television series Almost Heroes. He is also a guy who Evan once saw eat fire at the Rivoli nightclub in Toronto, and within this interview, he supposes that this was the only time he's eaten fire, which you must admit leaves the aura of a real psychic connection over this episode. We also argue about whether Greedo shot first. Well, we do IN SPIRIT, but really, we talk about a bunch of silly stuff that will appeal to people who give a care about that kind of stuff. (EVERYONE)

Evan and Jesse (or as Jesse calls us Evan and jPod) are joined this week by Mike Phirman from Los Angle-ease, California. (David Letterman's pronunciation taught us how to spell that one.) We talk about so much here, including music, comedy, musical comedy, being a nerd, being a dork, and going to comic con as both. Not sure I used the comma's right there, but, I mean, do you guys read this anyway? (Tell me at amiright@cjsw.com OR twitter.com/amirightcjsw OR facebook.com/amirightcjsw.)

The hilarious Jen Kirkman returns to Am I Right?? for an all-time great chat, running the gamut from Boston, Evan speaking too much about his maritime origins, Jen's love for Your Show of Shows, and everything in between. Wow, when you think about it, lots fits in between and we discuss them all. PLUS we talk Drunk History!

This one is a right banger of an episode. Live in the newly constructed Am I Right?? studios, Evan and Jesse welcome a ton of guests including Comedy's Own Ryan Kukec, Eric Amber of the Loose Moose Theatre and general Calgary mainstay Terry Cahill, subject of the hit documentaries Fubars 1 and 2 - all live and uncensored and underprepared! Don't miss this you fools!

Kenny Hotz drops by to say hello and drop some knowledge on our head. Not only has this guy invented the "new news" and done away with Dalton McGuinty jokes with his new show, but he also takes the time to discuss his new "Triumph of the Will" program, his mother, Rita MacNeil, CanCon requirements, and just why he feels he has to be honest with us about the quality of his partner, Spenny's, show. You didn't miss the thing about Rita MacNeil, did you? (I don't agree with the Rita stuff, but it's Kenny....)

Third time's a charm as Nikki appears for her fourth or fifth time. This time, she's here to discuss her theft of the soon to be classic Single White Spenny. She's so hilarious on this one, make sure it's turned down low so she doesn't freak out your neighbours - just like she did to hers during the interview.
