So if you’re still talking and thinking about Osheaga why not give us a listen?

The Montreal podcast that dares to as Montreal indie rock band We Are Monroe: Who do you wish was your dad?

We Are Monroe have big things planned in the next couple of months. Big things. They’re back in the studio with legendary producer Gus Van Go and a new album is in the works, but FIRST, they are playing the biggest party of the summer: Osheaga. Not only that, but they will be opening up for Kodaline and playing one of the official after parties on Friday night. Jason and Pat from the band join Walter and I to talk about road stories (Walter’s favorite), spending most of last year’s festival enjoying the perks of being an “on call” band and more.

Be sure to check out We Are Monroe the Perrier Tree Stage on Friday August 2nd at 2:20 at this year’s edition of Osheaga. And of course check out their official website, follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Enjoy the show kids!

The Fantasia International Film Festival has been rolling right along for the last week and half or so and there have been a LOT of great movies being screened.

Cult MTL’s Alex Rose, as is tradition, decided to come over to my house to talk about some of the films he’s checked out so far. So, what do we talk about? We’ll you’ll have to listen to find out.

Just kidding.

Check out our (mostly Alex’s) takes on The Art of Self Defense, Alien Crystal Palace, Bliss, The Father’s Shadow and The Deeper You Dig. We’re all over the map in terms of genre and budget but hey, that is one of the best parts of Fantasia! Enjoy the show!

The Osheaga Arts & Music Festival is absolutely one of the biggest events of the summer in a city that is defined by having a million big events in the summer. And this year, it’s going to be even bigger. The last two editions of Osheaga took place on a temporary site that made the best of re-purposed sections of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve but 2019 will mark the return of the festival to the original site. By original site I of course mean a newly renovated site that boasts a capacity somewhere over 65,000 people.

So to celebrate Osheaga being even bigger than ever we are making our 9to5.cc podcast specials even bigger than ever. How much bigger? Twice as bigger. That’s right, instead of one episode a day, Sarah and I will be breaking down our picks for each day across two episodes. When are we starting? Right now.

Our final preview episode (we’ll have a “Comedown” episode on Monday August 5th) is a little about romance and a little bit about being a badass lady. Also! Check out Go Plug Yourself on Thursday for our full length episode with We Are Monroe!

Enjoy the show!

My wife described “Girls Gotta Eat” like “My Favorite Murderer” but about dating.

That’s not bad company for Rayna Greenberg and Ashley Hesseltine to be keeping (MFM does nearly 20 million downloads a month). The girls are bringing their dating expertise (ie: plenty of first hand experience) to Montreal and Toronto in the next few days for a live version of their podcast.

The live experience promises up-to-the-minute updates regarding their current dating situations (so fans of the show will have early insights) and, as the girls put it: “the best letters” are saved for the live shows. There is also audience participation, so if you desperately want Ashley and Rayna to be your personal relationship gurus you should make sure you’re at the show.

I was lucky enough to grab a quick phone interview with the girls today and now you are lucky enough to listen to it. It’s fun how that works.

Listen now and check out Girls Gotta Eat July 23rd at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto or July 24th at Place des Arts in Montreal. More info and tickets here.

The Nasty Show at Just for Laughs is always one of the shows where comedy gets the rock star treatment. The show is at MTELUS, there’s a live band to hype of the crowd, and the performers are all ready to just tear it up. But this year, there’s something a little different. This is “Nasty” evolved. This is Nasty Show 2.0, proving crass comedy can still be in your face and offensive and intelligent and thought provoking at the same time.

The 2019 Nasty Show ensemble seamlessly weaves between making light of the mentally handicapped, sexual assault and more while somehow also being pro-choice and supporting gender and race equality.

Before hitting the stage I as able to have quick chats with Bonnie McFarlane, Andrew Schulz and Bobby Lee and we got to talk a little about being true to yourself in your comedy and finding your audience.

Enjoy the episode!

The Nasty Show, featuring Big Jay Oakerson, Andrew Schulz, Jessimae Peluso, Comedian CP and Bonnie McFarlene, hosted by Bobby Lee, runs July 17th to 27th at MTELUS. More info and tickets here.

Our fifth episode is all about guys named Sebastian. Or at least partially about guys named Sebastian. There are also a lot of pro tips. Expect our last episode some time next week because we are just two weeks away from Osheaga!

Enjoy the show!

Shaun Majumder has probably the craziest comedy origin story of anyone in Canada. First of all he is from Newfoundland, which I guess isn’t that crazy (CODCO certainly has some comedic pedigree and also brought us Mary Walsh, another 22 Minutes alumni). But he was also, as he puts it, “beige.” Meaning that he grew up in Newfoundland being of half European and half Indian descent.

So that’s a bit of an unusual start.  Unusual as in rare at least. Statistics Canada cites that only 0.3% of Newfoundlanders come from a South Asian origin.

But it doesn’t stop there. One of Shaun’s first roles in the public eye was as a “Slimemaster” on a YTV gameshow called “Uh Oh!” where Shaun basically toured the country and made kids get covered it goop.

Weird.

Anyways, we talk to Shaun about what inspired his upcoming one-man show “Hate”, life after 22 Minutes, his upcoming fatherhood and more. Be sure to catch Shaun at either “Hate” on July 27th or as part of the Anthony Anderson Gala on July 28th. Tickets and info on hahaha.com.
