Wow do we have an EPIC show to begin 2018! On episode 24, we have a celebrity guest for you - Canadian comedy icon Jonathan Torrens ... aka J-Roc from Trailer Park Boys ... aka Jonovision ... aka talented writer for the hilarious show Letterkenny Problems. Jonathan hangs out with us to chat everything from his views on attending weddings, terrible wedding songs, really corny speech jokes that make our skin crawl & so much more, and then we get into the real dirt! First we share a couple of hair-raising stories with Jonathan including the Groom who outed his cheating Bride at the reception, and Jono tells us an absolutely cringeworthy story about a Bride who got stood up at the altar and how it all played out. Just so you don't think it's all insane stuff this week, Jonathan tells us how he first met his wife and it was love at first sight, and how he married his beautiful wife Carole in a romantic winter wedding ceremony on the East coast...awwwww! We also spend some time reminiscing about how profoundly kind the late John Dunsworth was (aka Mr. Lahey on Trailer Park Boys). ... and to finish this CRAZY funny episode, Jonathan tells us about a story Tom Arnold told him while he was on-set filming for Trailer Park Boys. The story? It's about Tom's late friend Chris Farley and just how far Farley will go for a joke! ...and this one needs to be heard to be believed! It's easily the most INSANE true wedding story we have ever had on The Secret Life of Weddings Podcast! To finish out what is a landmark episode of our show, Jonathan Torrens does us a solid and asks iconic indie director Kevin Smith to come on our show (Kevin's a big fan of Jono's work) ... and let's just say you should go check our Twitter feed to see the results! Be sure to check out Jonathan Torrens' amazing book 'Canadianity' (penned alongside his wicked podcast bud Jeremy Taggart). It's snort out loud hilarious.
