Jeremy Piven is fired up on stand-up comedy and he tells me all about it in this new podcast episode! See him THIS weekend in Toronto headlining at Yuk Yuk’s (Thursday June 21st to Saturday June 23rd). He shares his love of Toronto and talks about how he feels it’s a cousin to his hometown of Chicago (Blackhawks fan), we talk about some of his past movie roles (I think ‘The Goods’ is totally underrated!) and 90’s TV credits (including Seinfeld) plus how could we not briefly touch on current border tensions between the US and Canada.

I invited my co-worker Aron Marion on the podcast. He's new to radio and trying to make his mark on a shrinking business; has the window already closed on new personalities trying to break into the radio business? We discuss long distance love and moving around to move up and the current trend of discovering new talent via YouTube and Snapchat vs traditional broadcasters. Aron concludes by sharing an outrageous story about a Snapchat exchange with a dude he knew years ago.

I had the chance to reunite with pals in One Bad Son after their soundcheck at The Phoenix in Toronto. How have they not sued other 'sons' bands? especially with a lawyer for a drummer?

Jasper and I first met maybe five years ago in a garage in Hamilton. It's not as sketchy as it sounds. He updates me on what he's been up to since and the evolution of his band 'In My Coma' which is celebrating the release of their new record tomorrow (Oct 26th) at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto. He performs two songs from the new release live in the Green Room. We immediately bond over our love of the band Oasis and Jasper even admits he wants to name any potential son 'Liam' after vocalist Liam Gallagher. Bromance brewing? possibly.
