Dane Cook is scheduled to drop by the show this week, leading to a little "issue" between the boys. AWWWWWKWARD. Dane seemed nice, I guess.
Extra special episode here, based on a metaphor that Evan can't quite get write. He wants to bring the spirit of one of the radio remote segments done at the beach - in the Maritimes for certain, but maybe in different places here in Alberta, such as Stampede or something. BUT it doesn't even make sense here, so please just sit back and listen to this wonderful chat with THE INCOMPARABLE Tig Notaro! She's great, Evan's okay, but the show is AMAZING! Check out her new record, called "Good One" in about 6 weeks, or at Sled Island, TONIGHT!
Just in time for Sled Island, we've got Neil Hamburger in studio to discuss his trip to Calgary on June 24 and 25! It's not really a studio, probably a bus station, but who cares? It's Neil Freaking Hamburger! Actually, he was pretty mean to us, so I don't know why I'm being so upbeat. Also, Tom Hanks, if you're googling yourself, holy moses, this guy has a few bones to pick with us. Email us to fight back! (amiright@cjsw.com!)
This week we have Spencer Rice in to discuss his new television show, "Single White Spenny." This is the most relaxed we've ever had him on the show, and, yeah, it's pretty interesting. We even get in some Bullard talk. We're the best, right? Check out his show - if you dare!
Not only do you get to be a fly on the wall as Evan and Jesse catch up with this, but tune in for Jesse's feature length chat with Matt Walsh, co-founder of the Upright Citizen's Brigade, AND director of the brand-new, improvised feature "High Road." Find out more by listening OR visiting www.highroadmovie.com OR BOTH!
Jesse and Ryan take a few minutes to chat with their new pal Marc Maron about the films of Robert Altman, corn bread, losenges and the dark secrets of Jesse's past. You can't miss this. Or you shouldn't. I guess technically you could but why would you? That'd be silly. This is MARC MARON here people!
Gunning for Andy Kindler's appearance record, Tom Scharpling inched a bit closer with his FOURTH appearance on Am I Right?? Kindler's challenger and host of the Best Show on WFMU, Tom shows up to discuss everything under the sun, AS HE IS DOING THIS INTERVIEW FROM SPACE! I'm yelling because in spell, no one can hear you scream, but I'm hoping they can hear you bellow! Listen up while we hang out with an honest to goodness hero of comedy. NOW (or whenever the download is completed.)
This week, Jesse sits down with Derek Sweet and a ton of other Calgary comics to discuss Going to Hell Sundays AND Calgary's only Dark and Dirty Comedy Contest. Meanwhile, Evan has to evacuate his private studio at CHUO in Ottawa, forcing him to miss everything and only call in when it's too late. TUNE IN GOOD TIMES!
This week, the show takes a turn for the historic as Evan and Jesse sit down with Matt Harlock, co-Director of "American: The Bill Hicks Story," which opens at the Uptown in Calgary on April 22 - BE THERE! But first, tune into this, where we get into brass tacks about Bill Hicks, his life, and who he's "for". Thanks CHUO for letting us use your satellite studio!
Hey remember how you hear us mentioned on Q last week but Jian Ghomeshi? Well here is where that recognition started! Jesse, Evan, NIKKI PAYNE! LISTEN UP!
The Star of Web Television's "Goodbye Sara Hennessey" stops by to record an interview so hilarious we had to record it twice! Seriously, Sara has had run-ins with both Mike Bullard and Geddy Lee, likely in the same week, so you can imagine exactly how this one goes - BUT NO WAY YOU CAN IMAGINE THESE PUNCHLINES! Also, the return of Steve "Steven" - O
DOUBLE HEADER WEEK! We speak to Steve-O in Calgary to perform and tell us all the rough and tumble about life as a jackanape! (Did we get this right?) Either way, tune in because you're gonna hear stuff you never dreamed about hearing on Stern or in that 24 hour interview you can see with him on youtube. (Don't go watch that before this - spoiler alert!) ALSO Jesse and Michael Showalter get down to brass tacks on coffee shops, sarcasm, brass and tacks.
Here we have an archive edition from March 2009, featuring - nay, STARRING - a legend of comedy, radio and radio comedy! You guessed it, Tom Scharpling, host of the Best Show on WFMU makes his first appearance on the show, where we discuss Newbridge, Tom's Canadian ambitions and Neil Peart's hat! TUNE IN! [Good call.]
On this episode, we pay tribute to comic Mike Destefano* and comedy funsters of music, Garfunkle and Oates. This episode has it all! *The long bit Mike does is from The Moth. Please visit them at www.themoth.org
Jon Glaser stops buy to discuss comedy, including his new book, "My Dead Dad was in ZZ Top." We talk about so much stuff, including boots and socks and jackets and hockey. The one thing I'm disappointed that we didn't talk about? Why he doesn't call them Zed Zed Top in Canada. I swear, Jack Rabinovitch would be appalled.
