Hey. This week we present a special LIVE episode recorded as part of Just For Laughs Toronto on September 27, 2025 at Comedy Bar. The episode’s subject is notoriously unpleasant Beach Boys singer Mike Love, whose repellant personality created major dissonance within rock’s greatest harmony group. Enjoy!

Special guests:

Thanks to the fantastic Stephan MacLeod for recording audio and video and the magnificent Alex Squire for lights, sound and visuals. And thanks to Just For Laughs Toronto and Gary Rideout Jr. for having us at the festival.

Hey. This week we’re joined by our friend, the comedian and author Bryn Pottie. To kick things off, we talk about It’s A Wonderful Life, The Virgin Suicides and attempt the first-ever sale of a book live on a podcast. Then we focus on our main subject: Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the United States of America. Born into a family of hardscrabble lemon farmers, Richard’s combination of intelligence, ruthlessness and good looks eventually got him elected to the highest office in the land. Then he messed up big time. Enjoy!

Be sure to pick up a copy of Bryn’s book The Great Lunenburglary HERE! And check Bryn out on Instagram.

This week we’re joined by returning guest, UK comedian Sooz Kempner. After discussing free speech, interesting arm gestures and Marge Simpson, we learn about Spanish sports official Fernando Martin Vicente. He was one of the most powerful people in the field of disabled sports until he was exposed for deliberately stacking the Spanish Paralympic men’s basketball team with players who were decidedly NOT disabled. They won the gold medal at the Sydney games, but at what cost? Enjoy!
