Let’s Be Well Together Podcast - Episode 23
Date: July 5, 2022
Participants: John Webster, Sammy Damaren, Cameron Earnshaw and Sheila Webster
Guest: Alex “Sandy” MacFarlane and Brad Mills
Start times and Segment Segments:
[0:00:19] What’s On Your Mind: When people say, “That’s just how Sammy is”, or “That’s just how John is”, are they missing an opportunity to see that there’s much more to it?
[0:10:53] Expanding Minds Interview: [Artistic Wellness] Comedian Alex "Sandy" MacFarlane rejoins us. We chat about a theory that many comedians ask the audience questions, based on the unique way they see the world, including observations many of us miss.
[0:28:14] Adventures of the Starving Artist: Cameron was in a booth at Jazzfest, helping kids have fun with button-making while connecting with new students. There was plenty of amazing jazz music to enjoy.
[0:32:32] Move That Body: Brad Mills enjoys indoor rock climbing.
[0:38:23] Running Popup: How did I forget that I was going to make the world a better place? How did I let that slip?
[0:40:38] Flipside of the Coin: Sheila and John discuss (argue about?) what we shouldn’t say on the show.
Guest Information: Alexander MacFarlane goes by Sandy in comedy. He got into comedy when a friend suggested he try it at a stand-up competition at London Ontario Yuk Yuk's. Sandy won and was invited back to open for the Yuk headliners that weekend. After years of travelling for comedy, Alex started producing shows in his hometown Kitchener Waterloo and Rusty Nail Comedy was born. Rusty Nail produces comedy shows all over Southern Ontario but mainly in venues thorough out Waterloo region. In August 2020 Rusty Nail found a home at The Crazy Canuck restaurant in downtown Kitchener. Every Friday & Saturday night The Crazy Canuck turns into Rusty Nail Comedy Club, Waterloo Regions only comedy club. Rusty Nail Comedy's philosophy is “comedy will save the world” (a quote from Jean Paul).
