Everyone is getting mentioned in this episode. Enjoy and thank you for supporting this show.

Okay everybody. This episode has destructive audio! Something happened and I am not sure why but the audio...is not great. Sorry about this. Tried to mask it at moments but it is noticeable to say the very least! We salvaged what we could but it nearly became Canadian lost media in the process. Anyways today we have on Anna Menzies! This is such a fun episode minus the audio issues. Anna and I are married, this is some of our story :D. We talk a lot about her experience as a Belieber, a dental assistant, Owen Sound Ontario, and being funny in your community. Enjoy this one.

Okay so about a month ago the world changed. After raking a pile of leaves I found someone who changed everything for me: Portuguese Yoshi. A few days after meeting him I thought to myself: well I should make a song called Portuguese Yoshi using the music of Kim Mitchell's Patio Lanterns, so that is exactly what I did. And it just exploded from there. Some people say that this rise was faster than Chappelle Roan's meteoric rise. Part of me agrees with that in an extreme way. Anyways, many people out there were requesting a one on one interview with Portuguese Yoshi so that is exactly what we did. I hope you enjoy this one. And yes we talk about The Canadian Entertainment Industry as well!

Hello Canadian Entertainment Podcast fans. We are back with a brand new episode with our friend Canadian Entertainer: Noah Maloney. This is a crazy episode some may say it is incredibly raunchy and lewd! But we were just having a conversation and sometimes it can go crazy places while talking about Canadian Entertainment. Anyways enjoy this episode and thanks again for tuning into this show.

Okay so it is no secret that around two to three days ago the host of this show Ben Stager dropped a song about a Yoshi figurine he found wearing a Team Portugal Jersey while he was raking leaves. The song has resonated with a lot of people it is based on the Kim Mitchell song Patio Lantern btw. Well right in the middle of the success of Portuguese Yoshi Nathan Hare came on the show and we yes do discuss all things: life, love, Portuguese Yoshi, angels, ubering accross Canada and more. You will have to check this one out. Thanks for tuning into this show once again everybody.

Well perhaps this is what they call in Canadian Show business a "slow burn". Or wait a second...wouldn't it be wiser to have said a "slow frost burn"? Hooray! Anyways. Yup we are so back. In a big and beautiful way. Say hello to a brand new episode. This one has similar vibrations to the first one. One could say it is its sister episode. Anyways…I guess just talking about life and figuring things out. Some may say this is unlistenable but we shall see.Thanks again for listening and the support!!!

Wow so I cannot believe to say that this is my third time writing this description because when filling this form out multiple times it deleted all my progress two times before this and I believe I had great episode descriptions both times. This is deeply sad. Anyways hello Canadian Entertainment Podcast Hosted By Ben Stager Fans. I am so sorry this episode is so late...life got in the way last week...okay so let me guess I am grounded now? Well I have a treat for you. On today's episode of the podcast we have an incredibly captivating interview and conversation with Comedian and Actor Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll. We discuss his work on Star Trek and what Jurrassic Park Newfoundland would look like. You may just love this episode. Also we did a lot of fact checking and the fact checking was performed by Alistair Ogden who was hanging out in The Canadian Entertainment Podcast Hosted By Ben Stager Studios!

Okay so this is a massive one... We started recording this episode and we of course began talking about The Apparently Kid and his video being ten years old, the recent John Krasinski Commercial in Canada that we cover probably badly (sorry)...but then we start talking about The Canadian Beach Boys and the episode takes a turn... Off camera we had Joel Edmiston (Comedian, Actor, Writer) silent-producing and he came on camera and on mic and gave his take on the Canadian Beach Boys. It truly was a beautiful thing to watch you'll have to check it out yourself. Enjoy this episode this was a lot of fun for us all. And sorry that I covered that John Krasinski commercial horribly.

Sorry for the lateness...our apologies... So in this episode Ben discusses his incredible experience visiting one of the major epicentres of Canadian Entertainment: Canada's Wonderland. He also touches upon three impressions he could do in high school (Arnold S., The Wicked Witch of The West/Miss Gulch and you guessed it Smeagol/Gollum!) He also touches upon the 1800s, and you guessed it he discusses his defining new laugh!

Well today we look back with Sam Burns, one of my oldest friends in Canadian Show Business. Sam just recently released a comedy special called LMNOP on YouTube and other streaming platforms that you simply must check out. We mainly spend most of the episode talking about our childhoods in Kitchener-Waterloo and Barrie and we also talk about Jackass quite a bit as well.

Warning: This episode contains around 5-10 seconds of dead air around 2/5ths or halfway through the episode due to a technical error which becomes a major plot point in this episode we left it in to show what actually happened! Anyways... This episode your host Ben Stager discusses: Robert Munsch Whether or not he is a Canadian Hipster How he was listening to the Beach Boys in 2023 How Charli XCX is techinically Canadian Entertainment and Atlantis!!! and much...MUCH more...you will just have to tune in and find out. The episode picture is when Ben dressed up as a Canadian Hipster for Halloween a couple years ago.

Surprise massively early podcast...we have some things to do this weekend and instead of releasing this on Saturday we have decided to release it now just so it is the most relevant it could ever be. In this episode Ben whistleblows the theory that we are living in a videogame and it is potentially Canadian. He talks about his picture with the Mayor of Waterloo that broke the internet. He asks for Canadian Celiac Lawyers to reveal themselves. Ben also discusses losing another precious item of his...HINT it is his clip-ons. He also does his own rendition of Murder Most Fowl by Bob Dylan during the final 20 minutes of the podcast and almost backs out a number of times. Enjoy this one. Everything discussed in this podcast is all through the lens of The Canadian Entertainment Industry.

In this episode Ben talks about Arnold Schwarzenegger spending his summer in Canada, Bed Bugs and their relation to Canadian Entertainment, and his experiences performing at the July 1st Picnic in Waterloo Ontario. He has been feeling a bit under the weather still from last week from a potential Canadian Celiac flare up and he addresses that as well. He also talks about the possibilities of a Canadian Entertainment Summer. Thank you for listening to this podcast again we appreciate it with all of our heart.

So it would only be a matter of time before Canadian Celiac Entertainment was brought up on this podcast and today is finally the day today. We are actually shocked that we didn't bring it up in previous episodes because Celiac Disease is part of the three cornerstones of the host Ben Stager's personality. Anyways Ben thinks he might have come in contact with gluten or something he has felt somewhat turbulent this week and he discusses how it could be related to Celiac Disease and how he needs to meet up and join forces with the other Canadian Celiac Entertainers in the country. We also talk about his experiences at Waterloo Busker Camp as a kid. We also talk about his experiences as a Bingo host and where Bingo may go in the next few years. This episode is a little crazy but we are incredibly proud of it.

Ben Stager of The Canadian Entertainment Podcast is back with some adjustments to the podcast and a brand new attitude and outlook. There is way less exposition on this episode and just a lot more Canadian Entertainment discussions. We discuss: Entertainment Tonight Canada and this meme Ben made, Star Trek holding the Canadian Entertainment Industry together, The Bruins Trekkie Movement and the issues in the movement right now, hockey and how that is the meat of The Canadian Entertainment Umbrella, and we also discuss of course: April Wine. This one is better than the previous one in our opinion. Thank you for listening.

This is the very first episode of The Canadian Entertainment Podcast. I took a few years off of podcasting after the conclusion of my successful podcast The Tim's Talkline. But we are back now with a new direction and that direction is the world of Canadian Entertainment and navigating your way through the Canadian Entertainment world from the perspective of a Canadian Entertainer! This is just a solo episode but who knows what comes next. Enjoy this podcast.
