On the Saturday February 8, 2025 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we spend some time with 8x JUNO Award-winning and multi-Platinum selling blues-rock artist Colin James who recently kicked off his “Chasing The Sun” Canadian tour which will make stops across the country including additional shows in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. Check your local listings for a date near you. Colin James released the first of his eighteen albums in 1988. He’s had international hit singles like “Five Long Years,” he’s worked with Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bonnie Raitt, Albert Collins, Pops Staples, Robert Cray, Albert King and Mavis Staples to name a few. He appeared on an episode of the television program Corner Gas and gave a command performance for Queen Elizabeth II. Today, we talk about his first band, his new record “Chasing the Sun,” the impact Stevie Ray Vaughn had on his career, working with regular collaborators like Tom Wilson and Colin Linden… and the car accident that sidelined him last year. Then, we’ll meet director Tim Fehlbaum. He’s an award-winning Swiss filmmaker whose previous films, like “Tides” and “Hell,” focused on post-apocalyptic and science fiction stories. He returns to the real world with “September 5,” a new thriller starring Peter Sarsgaard and Ben Chaplin, and now playing in select theatres, an American sports broadcasting crew finds itself thrust into covering the hostage crisis involving Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

It's our first-ever Trans Canada Christmas - starring the Trans Canada Highwaymen. Steven Page - BNLadies and Steven Page Trio Moe Berg - Pursuit of Happiness Craig Northey - Odds and Steven Page Trio Chris Murphy - Sloan   They are great friends, each with his band and career. What they have in common is a sense of the music they grew up with and a welcome sense of humour.   These Christmas sessions began in the '70s at CBC Vancouver with Producer Susan Englebert: Shari Ulrich, Valdy, Terry Frewer, Roy Forbes, and several guests. 5-6 years of gathering around a series of microphones, playing Christmas songs and telling Christmas stories. Such fun. Sadly, we lost our friend Susan to cancer and the Christmas show to time itself. The concept returned at Roundhouse Radio in Vancouver in 2015 and we enjoyed three years of Christmas in the Round with Barney Bentall and his assorted friends. We've played all three years on past Christmas Stews.     Now comes CKUA's turn to host the same tradition. Each Highwayman brings a Christmas song and stories of past Christmas tales. 5 songs in total. Craig Northey's was co-written with Brent Butt of Corner Gas. Steven's is about cheese logs. Chris's is about kids coming home and Moe's is the Christmas Classic Mistletoe and Holly.  They finish with Do they know it's Christmas.   Thank you to Arianne, Duke, Jasmine, and Bren for their production skills in bringing this show to air. Amazing work. And to Corey Wood for his skills and friendship in the edit and graphic studio here on Vancouver Island.

Craig Northey is a prolific musician, songwriter, and composer with a career that spans decades of memorable music and dynamic collaborations. As a founding member of the iconic Canadian rock band Odds, Craig made his mark with hits like "It Falls Apart" and "Someone Who's Cool." He's currently balancing tours with three distinct groups: the ever-evolving Odds, the Steven Page Trio (with Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies and cellist Kevin Fox), and Trans-Canada Highwaymen, a Canadian supergroup featuring Moe Berg (The Pursuit of Happiness) and Chris Murphy (Sloan). In addition to his work on stage, Craig has established himself as an acclaimed composer for film and television, creating unforgettable scores for beloved shows like Kids in the Hall, Corner Gas, and Corner Gas Animated. Whether he's crafting a catchy tune or setting the perfect mood for the screen, Craig Northey brings passion, creativity, and a unique sound to everything he does.

This week, we head back to '82 (when we could throw a pigskin a quarter mile) with special guest Jackson Reed. With his band Jackson Reed and the Silverbirds, the 26-year old Calgary rocker is mixing an irresistible blend of earnest '80s classic rock with modern pop smarts. Following the success of tracks like 2021's "Dangerous Lover" (featuring legendary drummer Kenny Aronoff) and 2023's "In My Head," their latest single is a cover of Prince's iconic 1982 hit "Little Red Corvette", offering up a take on the classic that's both faithful and fresh. It's garnered radio airplay coast-to-coast in both the USA and Canada. Reed also hosts the wonderful podcast Guess That Record, where he has interviewed luminaries such as The Police's Andy Summers, Dweezil Zappa, and Billy Joel drummer Chuck Burgi. And, in tribute to Jackson's pod, we play a brand new O3L game called "Back in 82, I Could Guess That Song!" Like good honorary Canadians, we partake in conversations about hockey, Rush, the Tragically Hip, Degrassi, Corner Gas...plus little red corvettes, Brett's drag club appearance, and Uncle Gregg's oddly specific sensual fantasies. Hey, it was Saturday night, we guess that makes it alright... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The challenge is that you can get caught in the group think that we spoke about earlier. Right from the cognitive level, from the personality level, it can be important to look at that. Boards can, over time, begin to think about things like this. What's the strengths that people bring?Munir Haque: [00:00:36] Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Boardroom 180 Podcast. I'm your host, Munir Haque, an executive coach and senior board strategist. I have partnered with Action Edge Executive Development to lead their governance and political acumen division. In each episode, we meet with governance leaders and step into their boardrooms, where decisions shape the world around us.Munir Haque: [00:00:56] Today's guest is Mr. Collin Pullar. For the past decade, Collin has been the president of the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association. It's an organization providing construction, safety training, advisory and auditing services for over 10,000 companies in the Saskatchewan construction sector.

We're very excited to have him today on the podcast, hopefully pick his brain and have a bit of fun doing it. Hi, Collin.Collin Pullar: [00:01:43] Hello, thanks for having me.Munir Haque: [00:01:45] Thanks for being on the show. Our listening audience probably doesn't know this, but they will now. I'm officially designating this 'the lost episode'. We recorded it once before and we had some technical difficulties, but Collin has graciously accepted the offer to try to reenact that first podcast.Collin Pullar: [00:02:04] We can call that the practice episode, how about we call it that.Munir Haque: [00:02:08] It is a bit of a warm up, because it was the first interview that I did. I had reached out to Collin to do that because Collin and I have known each other for years, and I know that, as I mentioned in his intro, that he's been on a podcast. He understands how they work, and I thought I could get some tips and tricks from him. When I was doing a bit of background research on him to get ready for this podcast, I came across a picture of you. I think it was, of all places, it was on IMDb. International movie database. It's a picture of you from, I can tell that you're topless and all you have on, essentially, is a bow tie, and you're kind of dressed like a bit of a Chippendale there.Collin Pullar: [00:02:53] I think I had cufflinks, I think I had cuffs on.Munir Haque: [00:02:58] That's your modesty showing through. Where did that come from?Collin Pullar: [00:03:04] That's funny. That was pretty well 20 years ago, Munir. There was a wonderful show called Corner Gas, it was just in its infancy at the time. A Canadian comedy show. I didn't know much about it. I was reached out to and said, hey, would you be interested in, first, being an extra? Then they said, hey, we've got th...

In addition to creating "Corner Gas" which is the number one Canadian Sitcom in history, he continues to produce content that has uncharacteristic staying power and an international audience. This has uniquely positioned him to understand the role of entertainment in culture as well as the responsibility (and whether or not there really is one) for those who have large platforms. This was a great conversation that entertains and informs while motivating you to stream another episode of "Corner Gas."

On the Saturday December 23, 2023 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we have look at some of the greatest Christmas songs of all time. First we meet Moe Berg, one forth of the Trans-Canada Highwaymen, a new band that consists of four of this country's best rock singer-songwriters,  Sloan's Chris Murphy, Odds' Craig Nothey and former Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page.  The album, “Explosive Hits Vol. 1,” is covers of Canadian AM rock radio hits from the 1960s and 70's and it's super fun. Moe Berg and I talk about the new album, and then get into the spirit of the season as Moe talks about a Christmas song he wrote with the Pursuit of Happiness and a tune he loves so much, he has a plaque with the lyrics. “Furious Devotion” author Richard Balls joins me to talk about “Fairytale of New York,”  a song that is an Irish folk-style ballad and was written as a duet, with the Pogues' singer Shane MacGowan and Kristy MacColl as bickering former lovers on Christmas Eve. A song about their youthful hopes crushed by alcohol and drug addiction doesn't sound like a Christmas cracker, but in the UK it was the most-played Christmas song of the 21st century and re-enters the music charts every December. We'll also get to know Larry Weinstein, director of the documentary “Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas,” a musical documentary about the amazing story of a group of Jewish songwriters who wrote the soundtrack to Christmas, and we'll learn how the Cuban Missile Crisis inspired one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time. Finally we wrap with Brent Butt, the star, writer and/or producer of TV shows such as “Corner Gas,” “Hiccups” and “Corner Gas Animated,” and the author of the best-selling thriller “Huge,” and home designer, television host and producer, best-selling author, sought-after public speaker, and host of her own special Tuscan getaways Debbie Travis on their favorite Christmas songs and stories.

The situation goes from bad to worse to downright frightening and violent as they try and get off the road in one piece. Then, we'll meet Canada's sharpest and funniest political satirist, Rick Mercer. His latest project is a book titled “The Road Years: A Memoir, Continued…” It's a look at the his wildly popular show The Mercer Report, it's beginnings, it's end and everything in between, including Every living prime minister. Rock and roll royalty from Rush to Randy Bachman. Olympians and Paralympians. A skinny-dipping Bob Rae. And Jann Arden, of course, who gets a chapter to herself.

This was a bucket list type interview for me and I think it shows. I did my best to keep my cool but a certain element of fandom comes through. From BrentButt.com: Brent Butt has long been considered one of the funniest people in Canada, with a career in stand-up comedy that stretches into five decades, including numerous appearances at major festivals in multiple countries and being voted Best Male Stand-Up in Canada by his peers in the profession. He also created and starred in two successful sitcoms – CORNER GAS and HICCUPS. When you add in two theatrical comedy films (NO CLUE, CORNER GAS: THE MOVIE) and four seasons of an animated TV spinoff, it may seem surprising that Brent's new venture has taken a rather dark turn. THE DARK TURN… Brent has written his debut novel – an intense, gritty psychological thriller called HUGE (from Doubleday Canada – Oct. 2023). The story follows three comedians on a rough run of shows through a remote stretch of rural countryside, as their priorities shift from getting laughs to fighting for their lives.

 October 11, 2023 - In this episode, our time machine welcomes aboard Brent Butt, who those of you in the Great White North know as the creator and star of the sitcom "Corner Gas," so beloved by Canadians that it has spawned an animated version and a movie. He's also host of the Butt Pod, which — since you probably have your phone out right now — I suggest you swipe over and subscribe to for some really insightful interviews. Brent Butt puts his talents to work on the thriller genre in "Huge: A Novel." The story hits the circuit of nameless clubs in Western Canda where two comedians — one, a veteran in the business from America; the other, a lady newcomer from Ireland — meet the aspiring headliner who'll change their lives, and perhaps end them. You can read more at HugeTheNovel.com and — speaking of our guest always growing, refusing to be pigeonholed by one genre — these days, Brent Butt is transitioning to publishing more content on Substack as he transitions away from @BrentButt on Twitter.    

The superstar comedian discusses his debut novel Huge, Eva Crocker writes about life and love in Back in the Land of the Living, Dimitri Nasrallah reviews two Maritime memoirs, and more.

Crash the Time Machine The Odds 7th album has been released. The basic Odds lineup of Craig Northey, Pat Steward, Murray Atkinson and Doug Elliott are joined by the 5th Odd – Steven Page. This is songwriting at a very high level,  then taken even higher by players who are truly gifted. I'm so glad that these guys got back together again after a hiatus from 2000-2007. You can hear multiple influences in each and every track. They've backed Warren Zevon, they wrote and played the soundtrack for  Kids in the Hall Film Brain Candy and their TV series Death Comes to town, toured with and played with The Tragically Hip and Barenaked Ladies, wrote music for Corner Gas. Crash the Time Machine deals with religion, the days we're all living in and several songs in memory of their friend Spirit of the West leader/writer John Mann. The song is Somehow in a Dream. The Waterboys are mentioned. As Craig tells us .. “John told me that in his last hours, he'd like to have someone play “Whole of the Moon”

The gang heads north of the border again to discuss a wonderful show called Corner Gas. Jeff describes it as "Exactly what I think of when I hear the term 'Canadian Sitcom'" and that's a good thing. Enjoy!

Today we're talking stuffed bananas, Applebees executing wage theft, boxes just full of dicks and Corner Gas. Remember kids, when you interview, the company is showing you who they are.As always, find us here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/774902433251568https://www.instagram.com/chefbenrandall/ (instagram)https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-weeds-with-ben-randall/id869521547intheweedswbr.com@wurstharold (twitter)https://www.redbubble.com/people/enzwell/shop

Palma from Seeking Derangements joins Dan and Riley for this month's CORNER GAS. Check it out on www.patreon.com/dabottlemen 

Preview: We watched the spookiest episodes of Corner Gas with the lovable scamps from Episode 1. Included in this was us pitching a new kind of porno for women for men, starring Brent Ass. Check out the full version of www.patreon.com/dabottlemen 

Our sweet precious lads were joined by our friend LivPosting to *notionally* continue our monthly journey to the centre of Corner Gas, but mainly we reflect on what it was like to be different kind of teens in Western and Eastern Canada. Check out the full episode on www.patreon.com/dabottlemen 

Reprising a monthly tradition (and because Riley went on holiday), we watched the next episode of Corner Gas. This time, we spoke with the man who has claimed the mantle of our most frequent honoured guest, it's Podcast About List's very own Caleb Pitts! We delve deep into the psyche of Dog River... or should I say the psycho... Also, we get an oZone Update. Get it on www.patreon.com/dabottlemen 

Our tradition of watching Corner Gas with non-Canadians continues, as Milo and Phoebe of the Masters of our Domain podcast (and also some other projects like Trashfuture and 10k Posts, respectively) join us to ostensibly watch a couple episodes, but mostly speculate about the Brent Butt-Ukrainian connection. This is so far the least we have discussed Corner Gas. Get the full episode on www.patreon.com/dabottlemen 

We've subjected another American to Corner Gas! Eat Chain's CJ joins Dan and Riley for the next three episodes of the pinnacle of Canadian comedy.   Check out the full episode at www.patreon.com/dabottlemen Check out Eat Chain at https://www.twitch.tv/eatchain 

Incredibly talented comedian, writer, actor and hero Brent Butt returns to discuss underrated movies, dog goofs and his upcoming 90's psychological thriller!

A while back, we put out a call for six-word pitches to program a whole episode of this podcast, and our listener Heather was the victor with "Nice British People Doing Nice Things." As a result, she has slotted in (virtually) every show you will hear us talk about in this episode, for which we are joined by returning guest Alex Collins! First, we all tuck in on the pop history series Back In Time For Dinner. Then Around The Dial takes us to France for Escape To The Chateau, Newfoundland and Kenya for Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond The Lobby, Wales for Escape To The Country, and a British mail route for Postman Pat. As required by Heather, Tara presents the Corner Gas episode "Happy Campers" for induction into The Canon. Then after naming the Winner and Loser of the year 1992, we go knocking on Game Time's door. Make yourself a lovely cup of tea and join us! GUESTS

Even though Brent Butt grew up in rural Saskatchewan, his path to comedy is similar to American comics, except it was exclusively Canadian. He was a directionless youth who was taken in by comedy on Canadian TV, he booked gigs throughout the Canadian countryside to hone his act, he dealt with monopolistic club owners and did sets in lousy environments like curling rinks. It all led to him being the first native Canadian with a #1 comedy series in Canada, Corner Gas, which was turned into a hit movie and now a cartoon. Brent tells Marc about his journey, and why he has no regrets that he remains fairly anonymous in America. This episode is sponsored by Turo.
