May 28, 2020 S1E17 - Twin Sister - "What Happens When You Tell A Joke That People Think Is Really Funny, Then You Have To Keep Telling That Joke Over And Over?"
Twin Sister (formerly known as Boba Phett) is Legendary.
With funk-driven songs including "Scoundrel", "He's No Good To Me Dead", "Ben" and "We Don't Serve Their Kind Here", it does not take long to see why this band appeals to the 8-year-old me that first saw Star Wars at a Drive-In (and in 2020, the Drive-In is once again the future of cinema)!

Matt Zimmerman (aka "The Imperial Stormtrooper") and Todd Fadel (aka "Lord Vader") share their origin story, talk about performing in full costume at the most wretched hive of scum and villainy known as GMA Week, and provide an ideal visual tour of the great city of Portland, Oregon.

You can get CD copies of the Twin Sister album through their Facebook page. Buy 10 or more - it's the perfect gift for shut-ins!

May 25, 2020 S1E16 - Derek Ouellette - "She Married Me Just Because Of That!"
After talking to Derek Ouellette, I dusted off my treadmill. After I found it under a pile of laundry, of course.

Derek has always had that effect on me. After any one of our many conversations, my entrepreneurial spirit is recharged and ready for action! One of my favourite quotes from this session is "the battle always takes place in your head."

We discuss making the most of Dad Time during a global quarantine, taking back your fitness and health and helping others to do the same, and always asking yourself, "what’s my next venture?".

His passion for coaching is clear. Enjoy!

Here are some of the things we discussed:

May 21, 2020 S1E15 - Tony Shore - "Sean Penn & Dabney Coleman Walk Into A Choir Show"
Today, I catch up with and introduce you to my good friend, Tony Shore.

In fact, without Tony, there would have been far less Groove in The True Groove, as he introduced me to the two words that changed my life:

"Dr. Shore."
We talk about how he knows far more about Canada than I ever will, his time in the recording studio with bands including The Lost Dogs and Scaterd Few and how working with a myriad of artists has translated to his work in voiceover and studio production.

Tony is also my podcast guru, and we discuss the heart behind The ObviousPopcast, introducing audiences to a whole new musical palette and his upcoming 50th episode!
Here are some of our points of irreverence:

May 18, 2020 S1E14 - Rachel Rose Oginsky - "I Don't Want To Keep Doing This For Another 20 Years... What If I Took That Chance?"
She did it. She just did it.

She wanted to work in Film and TV, so she packed up the truck and she moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is. (To be more accurate, Elle-Ay.)

It was so good to catch up with our friend, Rachel. We talk about her unique path into "The Business" and the dream that motivated her, finding peace in the midst of a global pandemic and her knack for finding talent and casting actors in exceptional projects including Suits, Masters of Sex and The Bold And The Beautiful!

I also get to share my own soap opera history for the first time ever.
Here are some of the things we discussed:

May 14, 2020 S1E13 - Stryper's Oz Fox and Michael Sweet - "Well, I Guess This Interview's Over!"
Today, we combine #BBTT and #TBT to play my 2009 Stryper interview, not long after the band reunited. This was one of my first live interviews and one of the few times I've spoken with a band that has sold 7 million albums and counting.

We spoke in a crowded press junket room full of rude people (hence the background noise) but hopefully, you'll enjoy a conversation with some of the most gracious guys in the industry, about getting the Band Back Together again.

Here are some of the links:

May 11, 2020 S1E12 - Steven "Etienne" Langlois - "I Liked Mr. Dressup More Than I Liked Mr. Rogers, And Definitely Way More Than Captain Kangaroo."
The convergence of my call to Steven Langlois and the recent release of his book "Rock Your Class - Creatively Impactful Teacher-Rockstar Tips From A To Z" is no coincidence. In fact, we've been partners for longer than I even knew!
Steven has lived the "Hannah Montana" lifestyle, shapeshifting and filling arenas for almost 30 years, and continues to share his knowledge and faith with all who will listen. Enjoy hearing the stories behind the music...
Here are some of the things we discussed:
Rock Your Class Book - Now Available

May 07, 2020 S1E10 - Hokus Pick - Part 1 - "It Can Take Your Money And Your Sanity... Or Just Your Money"
This week, we welcome the band known as Hokus Pick to the People In Your Neighbourhood!

One of Pick's many successes was the ability to tour across Canada repeatedly. What impressed me the first time I saw them was the way they could work a crowd into a complete frenzy, most of whom were also seeing them for the first time. Every time they played, they built relationships that consistently added to their fan base and kept them on the road.

We talk about their tours with dc Talk, Guardian, Steve Taylor and more, the joys of border crossing and the lessons they learned being a Canadian band with an international following!

Here are some of the things we discussed:
Hokus Pick - Spotify

Camp Qwanoes
