We had to have one of my favourite people not only in comedy but in the entire world back on the podcast! Dan Schmidt I like to affectionately refer to as the Mennonite Forest Gump because his life is so crazy and the first episode we did (VDC #208) was one of my favourite podcasts.  I was already good buddies with Dan but until that podcast I had no idea just how deep the story of his life went. Since then Dan has been grinding comedy and has done a ton of very cool things.  Latest of which is his first weekend at the Comic Strip in west edmonton mall May 1st-4th, which is something he has been wanting to do for a very long time.  It was so nice to catch up with Dan and he's such a great guy recording this podcast turned my entire mood around and made me so appreciative that I have him in my life! Go listen to this episode and the first one we did and then go follow Dan on instagram @danschmidtcomedy he is working all the time so whether it is his big host weekend at the strip or any other shows go support this fella there are few guys who deserve it more!Also please share and like the podcast and tell your podcast nerd friends to check it out too!As always I have comedy shows every friday at the moon and they are always a blast! Also check out the Tuesday workshop and Sunday Smoke Show at the moon, it's the best venue and no one supports comedy like they do!And if you are scared of the smoke come see my show, PrimeTime Comedy at the Comic Strip March 9th for the best lineups and hottest shows in the city!

I haven't been this excited to have a guest on in a long time! Mike Dambra is one of the funniest people alive and has been plying his craft onstage for almost 40 years. On top of that he's one of the best guys I've met in the industry and after seeing everything you possibly can in comedy he is a wealth of information and I knew our conversation would be epic. But I was completely unprepared for just how wild his story is and after hours of talking I know we could have sat down the next day and ran it back with all new stories. My favourite part about Dambra is how he has worked for decades to build an amazing life for himself and because of that he's completely untethered by the business and politics of comedy. This guy truly don't give a F**K and it is AWESOME! He says what he thinks and it's such a breath of fresh air in an industry rife with saying the right thing and kissing the right asses. In so many ways Mike is an example of exactly what people should be aiming for in their comedy careers and I personally look up to and appreciate him on a very deep level. It was an honour to have him on and I'm sure he will be back on again so give it a listen and let us know what you think! Also go follow him on Instagram @gracesfunnydad and catch him on a show near you! He's one of the hardest working comics around so you won't have to wait long to see him and you will never regret going to a Mike Dambra show!And as always subscribe, like, tell your friends and come see me do comedy at shows across the city! @trishs.asylum on Fridays, PrimeTime comedy on Sundays and all the other shit I got in the works! Comedy Rules!

Well hello you beautiful sickos! I know it's been a while but we are back with a bang! Got one of my best friends in the world and hilarious stand up comic Art Bellerose.  Fresh off a sold out theatre show, Arts comedy touches people all around the province and the work he has put in is starting to pay dividends in some really amazing ways.  We discuss all that we've been up to in comedy since we last sat down to pod including weekends at the comic strip, road work and even our trip down to Austin that we never got to chat about on the record before!If you enjoy the podcast tell a friend about it and go check out Art on Instagram @fbi_comedyAlso come check us out live on stage all over the city!

Today's episode is with one of my favourite local comedians Jules Balluffi! She started comedy not long before I did and she has quickly become one of the best comics around. Not only does she grind her ass off, getting on stage all over the city (and recently all over the country!) but she also takes a humble analytical approach to her comedy, always looking for any improvements she can make and never settling. The craziest part is she's done it all while actively working on her PHD at the U of A! I know first hand just how all consuming comedy can be so it was fascinating to sit down and hear how she manages to balance both and still make the strides that she does! Go follow her on Instagram and catch a show of hers whenever you can, I promise you will not regret it! @julesballuffiAlso im heading to the UK Tomorrow so my comedy shows will be on a bit of a hiatus but once im back there's big things coming! Still great shows at the Moon so go check em out!

I know a lot of you reached out when the podcast went quiet and I appreciate every one of you but just know that this podcast dream will never die and the VonDubCast ain't going NOWHERE! It might be a little more sporadic until I find some help to make it what it was always meant to be but I'll be dropping episodes here and there to keep you in the loop! Meanwhile the comedy game is booming!!!

Today we have one of the Edmonton comedy scenes brightest rising stars, and she is one cool rat let me tell ya! It was fascinating to hear the experience of starting comedy from the lens of someone who has done a lot of performing in other arenas beforehand.  It's nice to know that the sheer terror of doing stand up does not fade with experience in other stagecrafts!  Katie is currently running an amazing show called The Rat Academy and it has already made major waves at the Edmonton and Vancouver Fringe festivals (among many others!) and is going all the way to Orlando next year!  Take a listen to hear more about what this show is all about and what makes it so special and then grab your tickets asap!  Katie has the most unique bright energy and it is a joy to take in whether its on the theatre stage or in a comedy club and you are doing yourself a disservice every day you go without seeing her!Follow Katie at @katie_yoner_ as well as her show @the_rat_academy now!And come see my show at @themoonyeg this Thursday at 8pm it's going to be extra wild!

De zeventiende aflevering van het derde seizoen van Cinepraatjes, de podcast van Cinemaatjes. Leon Jackson van Moviegelul met Vrienden was toevallig in de buurt en kwam langs voor een kopje koffie, niet wetende dat we hem gewoon bij ons aan tafel zouden schuiven om dus onvoorbereid mee te doen aan de podcast. We hebben wederom een nieuw Maatje en hebben het kort over een filmpje wat we voor onze Maatjes op Patreon hebben gezet. Ook halen we nog kort aan dat we drie films hebben mogen pluggen op de BUTPlugged avond en dat uiteindelijk ‘Don't Go In The House' de meeste stemmen heeft gekregen. Uiteraard is er ook weer een nieuw sonnet van Marino van Liempt, waarvan William 100% zeker wist dat hij het goed heeft geraden. Leon heeft ‘The Flash' gekeken en dat blijkt zelfs de rode draad van deze podcast te worden. JP sluit aan met een andere DC-film namelijk ‘Blue Beetle' en William keek na een lange tijd weer de SciFi klassieker ‘Alien'. We trokken weer een VHS uit de kast, namelijk de slasher ‘Dog Island', die ook wel bekend staat als ‘Humongous', maar we flitsen toch weer terug naar ‘The Flash' en ‘Blue Beetle'. In de Special bespreken we moderne zwart-wit films, maar ook daarin flitsen we weer terug naar ‘Wat heb je nou in godsnaam weer gezien?', want William heeft ook nog ‘Beau is Afraid' gekeken en JP heeft ook ‘Vampier Hookers' gezien, maar gelukkig flitsen we ook weer terug naar de Special om uiteindelijk onze Top 10 van moderne zwart-wit films te noemen. Uiteraard beantwoorden we ook weer vragen van luisteraars over o.a. films die met een VHS-groezel beter zijn dan met een hoge kwaliteit, monsters of villains die we graag tegenover elkaar zien, de top 250 iMDB lijst, de beste plottwist in de filmgeschiedenis en horror sterfgevallen die een speciaal plekje in ons hart hebben. www.youtube.com/@cinemaatjes www.instagram.com/cinemaatjes013 www.facebook.com/cinemaatjes www.patreon.com/cinemaatjes www.letterboxd.com/cinemaatjes

For those that have listened to the podcast regularly you will have heard me bring up today's guest cooouuuntless times.  You've heard me talk at length about his comedic abilities and even with how difficult it is to rank comics, anyone with half a brain has Brad at the very top of their lists.  That is why it is such an honour to have him on the podcast to chop it up!  He recently recorded a comedy special @themoonyeg and it was nothing short of spectacular! Everyone already knew Brad had the comedy chops to slay a room but to watch him deal with curveball after curveball, learn on the fly, adapt in the moment and rise to the challenge of getting that elusive comedy magic on film was unbelievable.  We talk through the weekend of recording, the emotions surrounding it, Brad's entry into the comedy game at 17 and so much more!  Brad is currently giving Toronto a crash course in how to fuck shit up but he will be back in Edmonton before you know it and you don't want to miss him when he does!Follow @ihatebrad on instagram and grab tickets the very next time you have the chance because this kid could pop at any moment and then you'll be battling scalpers just to see him perform!Also go follow @thevondubcast @nickvondub @themoonyeg @trishs.asylum and I will love you forever! 

Decided to record a little solo eppy this Wednesday and it ended up going deeeeeep.  I tried my best to give words to the feelings and emotions i've felt experienced over the last few months of this ridiculous journey and I hope I was able to do it some sort of justice! Gave a little life update including my monday show at sherlock's, my love life, and most importantly how much my life has come to revolve around stand up comedy and more specifically my new shows at the Moon!  It's been awhile since I sat down for a few uninterrupted hours and I can't even begin to list all the different things we covered.  Take a listen to hear a few hints at some upcoming projects I couldn't be more excited about as well as my upcoming trips to Austin and New York this fall!  As always these solo episodes get pretty into the weeds and if you ever want to chat about any of the subjects covered or just need someone to talk to the dm's are always open on the Vondubcast instagram page!With it being a holiday monday we will take a break from the comedy takeover this week at sherlocks.BUT we are back with another friday Asylum this week on the 13th of October! The last one was bananas and sold out quick os grab your tickets today and experience the wildest night in comedy!

Today we have one of the most Australian bastards i've ever met on the podcast!  Chris has been doing comedy for decades and he's been drinking beers for even longer! We had a blast talking about the start to his comedy career and how he has remained in love with the craft all these years later.  Chris resides in Tasmania australia and he brings honour to the term "Bogon" each and every day.  Chris is currently on his third Canadian tour where he gets to ply his craft for Canadian audiences night after night and enjoy our delicious beer.  I think the only thing more impressive than his comedy skills is his absolutely legendary mullet, Alberta is lucky to have him and so is this podcast!Come check out my comedy shows this week, monday at sherlock's pub on campus and Thursday at @themoonyegYou don't want to miss them!

Today's guest is a brand new comedian that just jumped onto the scene a few months ago but did it with such an infectiously positive attitude I knew I had to get him on the pod to learn more about him.  After this conversation I feel like I understand much better where Heg comes from both in life and comedy.  The kid loves his people and works hard to make them proud all the time.  You can catch Heg at almost every comedy show in Edmonton and when you see him you know his crew is not far behind, the kid rolls deep!  It was a pleasure to spend this time with him on the podcast and I can't wait to do ti again and also just to see where this life takes him!You can catch Heg performing at the comic strip in West ed on Sept 12th and it just so happens myself and a few other VDC alumni will also be on that show so come on out!!!You can also catch Heg at both the comic strip and yukyuks Sept 14th!As always come out to the moon on Thursdays for @trishs.asylum and sherlock's pub on mondays for the comedy takeover but remember this week the Asylum show is having a special Friday edition (Sept 8) and the tickets are moving fast! get yours now by emailing themoon.yeg@gmail.com

This is the podcast everybody!!! Not only is Jimmy Clifford an amazing comic but he was one of the most welcoming, encouraging, inspiring people I met in my entire trip to Austin.  Seeing someone doing exactly what I've been talking and dreaming about on this podcast for over 3 years was nothing short of magical. I've heard so many people call me crazy, roll their eyes or straight up try to stop me from achieving my crazy goals but knowing there are people like Jimmy out there making it happen fills me with newfound motivation. The new shit cooking behind the scenes is next fu**ing level and I can't wait to bring it to you all. Please go follow Jimmy @thejimmyclifford on Instagram and let him know you loved the episode.  Also I've been in Instagram and podcast jail the last couple weeks and it's really affecting the downloads. The only way to break out is to have a huge amount of people share and like the posts and pods. If there was ever a time to take 5 minutes out of your day to help the podcast with a like or a comment this is it!!! Also keep your eye out for Jimmy to be coming to Edmonton for some shows soon ;) As always come see my comedy shows on Mondays at @sherlock_campus as well as @trishs.asylum at The Moon A.K.A. the greatest place in Edmonton!

Well I'm back from Texas and what a whirlwind trip it was! From fighting the insane nerves, to keeping the trip secret and announcing it at last weeks Asylum, the build up to the trip was crazy in itself.  Then almost missing my flight to LA that morning. My flight from LA to Austin getting cancelled. And not knowing the guy I was staying with, it was a journey just to get there.  But holy shit balls was that trip amazing and worth every second.  From seeing the B-team Jiu Jitsu gym, watching Sugar Sean win a world title in a packed out bar with new friends, recording some of the most amazing podcasts I've ever done with @thejimmyclifford and @jasonrouse666, seeing shows at The Comedy Mothership, The Creek and the Cave and many others and going through the KillTony gauntlet it was a trip I will never forget.  I am so thankful for everyone who helped me out along the way and this podcast is just the start of me trying to repay all the kind souls that made it so special!As always come see my show this thursday at @themoonyeg for @trishs.asylum The show is always dynamite but this weeks lineup might just be the strongest yet and the Gen Pop open mic afterwards is starting to attract comics from all over Alberta! You do not want to miss it!

Today's guest is an amazing person.  My gut told me I needed to have him on, but I couldn't have imagined what an amazing story I was in for.  His life has had ups, downs, left turns, heartbreaks and triumphs but throughout it all he has remained true to himself and his faith in the most beautiful of ways. Dan has overcome a life changing car accident at 16, being excommunicated from his church and hometown, crisis' of faith and so much more.  And to talk to him you would never suspect any of that behind the depth of kindness and genuine care he shows to everyone around him.  This podcast had some great laughs and some powerful moments and i'm so glad to share it with you all! If you enjoyed his story please go follow Dan @danschmidtcomedy and catch him doing standup all around Alberta!Also please come to the comedy takeover tonight for an amazing amazing lineup of killer comics! And as always come out on Thursday to The Moon for the wildest night in the city, Trish's Asylum and the Gen Pop open mic!  It is only getting better each week and soon the tickets will be hard to come by!

I love to podcast. So when I have an episode lined up, there is a usual level of anticipation I feel in the lead up.  Sometimes however there are guests that elicit such a level of excitement I worry they won't live up to the hype i create in my own head!  Today's guest Cian Beatty was one of these, but i'm so happy to report that it lived up in every way!  Cian is one of the strongest comedians in Edmonton and not only is he funny as hell but he also has an analytical mind that breaks down comedy at a very high level.  It was these skills that had me itching to sit down and pick his brain and I know this is only the first in many amazing podcasts we are going to have over the years! Go check him out right now on instagram @cian_beatty and make sure you catch him on stage as soon as you can! Also go follow @fakejokesyeg to make sure you catch the amazing comedy show Cian co-produces and also catch his weekly show @the_comedycoop at the Rooster on whyte ave sundays at 7:30pm.Lastly please come check out both of my shows this week.  We have the Comedy Takeover Monday nights at 7:30 FREE at @sherlocks_campus with amazing headliner @sterlingsjokes Also go follow the new instagram page for the Thursday show at @themoonyeg @trishs.asylum and get your booties out to the show this week! It is the wildest show in the city and it's worth every penny!

Today I talked to Arin Greenwood about her new book Your Robot Dog Will Die (Soho, 2019). When a global genetic experiment goes awry and canines stop wagging their tails, mass hysteria ensues and the species is systematically euthanized. But soon, Mechanical Tail comes to the rescue. The company creates replacements for “man's best friend” and studies them on Dog Island, where 17-year-old Nano Miller was born and raised. Nano's life has become a cycle of annual heartbreak. Every spring, she is given the latest robot dog model to test, only to have it torn from her arms a year later. But one day she makes a discovery that upends everything she's taken for granted: a living puppy that miraculously wags its tail. And there is no way she's letting this dog go. Arin Greenwood is an animal writer and former lawyer living in St. Petersburg, Florida, with her husband, Ray, and their beloved pets. Arin was animal welfare editor for The Huffington Post. Her stories about dogs, cats, and other critters have appeared in many publications including The Washington Post, The Dodo, The Today Show's website, Slate, Creative Loafing, the American Bar Association Journal, Best Friends Animal Society's magazine, and more. She now writes and edits for animal nonprofits. Arin is also the author of Tropical Depression and Save the Enemy.

Hello you beautiful crazy bastards! We are back with another episode of the podcast and today's guest is Calgary comic and show runner Erin Wood! I got to meet Erin up in Edmonton and was super impressed with her hosting skills and positive energy. And when I went to let her know that, she was kind enough to invite to her amazing show @ratboycomedy down in Calgary the following week.  So naturally I knew we would have to squeeze in a podcast while I was down there! We only had about 35-40 minutes before the show so it's a little shorter episode than normal but Its amazing all the same. I also can't say enough about how much love was put into that ratboy comedy show and form what I could gather that is a week in and week out occurrence.  Whether it was the handmaid hand coloured setlists/comic sheet or the insane amount of toy rats and tech decks you could never say the show doesn't have personality! I can't wait to see Erin up in Edmonton again so you can all see her do some stand up but until then follow her at @drcoolwood on Instagram and if you are in Calgary on a Wednesday go check out her show! Also Trish's Asylum, the hottest show in Edmonton, is back with a vengeance this Thursday with possibly the strongest lineup yet! As always there will be crazy giveaways all night and after the booked show will be the “gen pop” open mic for those sickos that don't get enough comedy in the first section! Don't miss out! Email themoon.yeg@gmail.com for more information!Also we have a banger lineup for this Mondays comedy takeover at @sherlocks_campus so don't miss out. You won't find lineups this hot for free anywhere else In the city and this weeks is one of the strongest to date!

We are back with a HUGE guest on this beautiful monday morning!  As you may know I had been really been struggling with how much of a backseat the podcast has taken since i've started so many inroads into the world of comedy.  The amazing new shows I've started have been super rewarding but I just wanted to feel those nerves that comes with a big podcast guest but I knew I had to just stay the course and let it happen.  A few weeks back Jason Rouse was in town doing shows and I couldn't believe how kind and open he was to all the comedians but specifically myself.  I fangirled so hard over every comedy store story, Ari Shaffir prank and Sam Tripoli shenanigans that I thought I was just annoying him with all my questions.  But when it became clear that the kindness and encouragement were genuine and he reached out to do my podcast I was over the moon!  The serendipity of this podcast and every single piece of advice Jason had for me cannot be overstated.  This was exactly what i needed exactly when I needed it and the fruits of this conversation have already started but there are also some amazing things in the works.Check out "Safe Word w/ Jason Rouse" on youtube and all podcast platforms.Catch him in canada at Levity in Hamilton, Sep 1-2Yuk Yuk's Burlington Sep 8-9Yuk Yuk's Oshawa Sep 15-16Yup can also catch him in the upcoming horror film "Spare Parts" and keep your eyes peeled for his new comedy special coming this October!!!Please come out to my Monday show at Sherlocks on campus at new time 7:30pmAnd last but definitely not least there will be no Trish's Asylum this Thursday at @themoonyeg. The venue got double booked so it will have to take a one week hiatus but hopefully it will be back soon. It is quickly becoming the hottest show in Edmonton and every single audience member has left saying they cannot wait to come again! Hot Lineups, giveaways all night, the coolest venue in Edmonton what's not to love?  Also stick around for the "Gen Pop" open mic afterwards if you dare.....

We are back  with with another comedian and more importantly my friend Adriaan Kriel.  Adriaan is a super funny, super humble guy that is always a pleasure to have around at shows.  He grinds his ass off and can be found at a show every single night of the week.  I've also had the distinct pleasure of hitting the town and tying one on with him and it is a blast lol.  Adriaan has also just started a new podcast called The Barrys Basement Podcast with fellow comedian Leo Langford and their chemistry plus some amazing guests make it a pod you must check out if you love comedy! The first three guests have all been on this podcast so you know they are good ;).Check out Adriaan at @AdriaanKriel4 on instagram and check out the pod at @thebarrysbasementpod on instagram.As always come through my monday show for free at Sherlocks on campus and check out my latest endeavor called Trish's Asylum on Thursdays at @themoonyeg both shows at 7:30pm

I know it's been awhile since the last interview episode but I promise this Wednesday we will be back with one! I couldn't just leave the people on pins and needles about the shows I had put weeks and weeks of heart and soul into right? So today I decided to hop on a solo and break down the amazing first night of shows at the moon! I could not be happier with how the night went considering how many curveballs were thrown and how much we were trying to accomplish.  We learned so much along the way and the next shows will be infinitely better but considering everything it was a magical first night! A huge thank you to The Moon and its entire community for putting so much love into these shows.  Every crowd member there could feel it and that's what made it truly special! This Thursday there will be no live from the moon podcast and Trish's Asylum will start earlier at 7:30pm and if we can keep the crowd rocking we will do a "gen pop" pseudo open mic after it to try and get more comics some stage time on the best one in Edmonton. Email themoon.yeg@gmail.com for more info and I can't wait to see y'all there!Also come out to the comedy takeover at the campus sherlock's pub for an amazing show with legendary headliner Sean Lecomber!! 7pm!!

Well party people… we made it. Episode 200 in the books and what a journey it's been. Since this podcast began I've been through heartbreak, new love, heartbreak again, started comedy, moved cities and so much more. In some ways I feel the same as I did years ago but in others I don't even recognize myself from last month. As is tradition we have my father on the podcast for the big milestone and we chatted about politics, comedy, hockey and many more things along the way. I wouldn't want to celebrate the occasion with anyone else and I'm so excited to finally announce some new comedy ventures coming in July with @themoonyeg. I've wanted to talk about them for weeks but I wanted to wait until this episode to do it with my poppa! We are starting a live weekly podcast with a comedy show afterwards on Thursday's and a Riff show on Fridays! This means the moon will have comedy Thurs-Sun and are soon going to be the biggest comedy institution in the city! Also don't forget the comedy takeover tonight at @sherlocks_campus. We have one of the legends of the Edmonton comedy scene @nickmcquick headlining and it's sure to be one hell of a show!! Lastly thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every listener, guest, and supporter in any way of this podcast.  I've truly found my calling but it's you guys that allow me to pursue it and I will never forget that...

WE welcome the little brother I never had, Kale Hancock back onto the podcast today to chat about his first year of university! We chat about his first year away from the game of Hockey and how that adjustment has gone,  what he thought of the UofA, the business school and University in general. We also chatted about the Oilers and told a few stories that are sure to make you laugh.  Kale is one of my closest friends and it's always a pleasure to have these conversations with him and it's amazing to watch him grow into the young man he is when I can still remember holding him when he was a baby!  Also we have an amazing show tonight at the University Sherlock's Pub headlined by my brother Art Bellerose.  7pm start and the show is stacked top to bottom, you don't want to miss it!

One of the most positive developments in my comedy journey has been meeting Art Bellerose.  Not only is he super hilarious with some of the most crisp writing in the Edmonton scene but he is also kind, generous and honest with his feedback and having him to keep me dialed in has been a godsend.  So when we found out that we both got our first co-feature weekends at the @comicstripwem we knew we would have to come on and do an episode to break it all down!  We also talk comedy in general including our thoughts on the scene in canada and what kind of opportunities are available vs what we would like to see.  We are both dreamers and I can't wait to work with Art to bring these amazing ideas to real life.  Please do yourself a favour and go follow Art on instagram right now @artbellerosecomedy and then message him and say START YOUR PODCAST ASAP! thank you....Also please come out to sherlocks on campus to the Comedy Takeover tonight at 7pm! It's a stacked lineup and a free show! What is any better than that?!

Well hey there everybody i hear you have been missing my little solo journeys on the podcast and figured i could fire one up! I had an absolutely amazing weekend playing slo-pitch, watching sports and seeing @jessimaepeluso and @whateverkalea do spots at the comic strip and the Moon.  It was so inspiring that probably the last 70% of this podcast is just me gushing about how amazing they are and all the things I learned watching them! Life's been a little bit of a roller coaster and I haven't been feeling great lately and the start of this podcast is a little blue.  But as always we find the funny part way through and it gets rolling! I always feel better getting things off my chest but forcing myself to sit down and record these when im anything less than 100% is always tough.  I am therefore especially thankful for the amazing comedy this weekend that forced my hand and made me have to jump on to talk about it!

How often does one get to sit down and chat with a PHD candidate/Stand up comedian?! Well last Tuesday was my lucky day because I got to chat with my good friend Jules Balluffi and it was a hell of a time. We sat down at the world famous Dukes Diner on the UofA campus and went through her entire Journey from the mean streets of Manhattan, to New Jersey, all the way up to Mcgill, the maritimes and finally Alberta to finish out her schooling.  This academic journey was fascinating and inspiring and could have been a whole podcast in itself but we also had to cover Jules' journey into the world of stand up comedy including the classes that got her started and also the passion that has kept her coming back!  It's nice to see that the Stand up bug can bite such clearly rational and sane person like Jules because I was starting to think only the craziest of us could get addicted to such a rollercoaster of an endeavour! Give Jules a follow on instagram @julesballuffi and come see her do stand up all over the city!

Today we welcome back to the podcast one of my favorite people in comedy and a true staples of the scene, Nick McQuick, for his 3rd (solo) appearance on the show! It may have been my favourite ones as we have gotten to know each other much better over the preceding months and we were able to dive deeper than ever before and it made for some truly captivating conversation.  It's often hard to get past Nick's impenetrable humour to what's inside and animating it all in the first place but I think this podcast manages a small peak behind the curtain that I hope will allow people to love Nick for all the reasons that I do and not just his machine gun joke vault of a mind! I also break down my first co-feature weekend at the comic strip in the intro which was such a wild experience I think it's going to need its own podcast on top of it!But until then give nick a follow @nickmcquick and if you are in Calgary thursday April 27th see him do stand up at Reckless Comedy! Also get your tickets to his show Nick Needs Jokes on April 30th it's always a blast!Lastly come out to my comedy takeover show at sherlock's pub on campus! it's one hell of a lineup you won't want to miss!

Well sometimes you win big with comedy and sometime it beats you down in a way few things in this world can. Tuesday at the comic strip was one of those nights and i decided to bear it all on here so you could all laugh/cry through it with me lol.  It was such an odd feeling to be simultaneously proud of what I tried while also just so mad and embarrassed at how badly the attempt was by my own standards.  It was fun to try and dissect all the factors that got me off my game and also get some shit off my chest while realizing that regardless it was 100% on me and no other excuses matter. All there is to do now is shake it off and get ready for the next.  In a world full of highlights come take a listen to some low ass shit from your favourite podcaster!Catch me all weekend at the Comic Strip having sweet redemption with my friends Noah Brodeur, Art Bellerose and Malik Ellasal! One show thursday, 2 friday and 2 saturday!

Today's guest is a giant of the Canadian comedy scene. He has performed on some of the greatest stages in comedy, performed across Canada and the world, won roast battles, competitions and everything in between.  And if you haven't heard about all that, he will tell you about it! Sterling has grinded for years and has the confidence to show for it.  And even though he is constantly on the road making his living as a true headlining comedian he always has time for the younger comics and you can catch him holding court in the back or outside of open mics around the city. The amount of wisdom and experience he has cannot be overstated and even though he would be well within his rights to start insulating away from it he makes a point to share it whenever he can and I think that's pretty great!Go follow Sterling @sterlingsjokes on instagram and catch him live asap! Also check out Sterling's house party every sunday night at 9:30 at the moon!Also PLZ come see the Comedy Takeover show tonight and every Monday at Sherlock's Pub on campus and also come support me in the Funniest Person with a Day Job competition at @comicstripwem Tuesday April 18 as well as co-featuring all weekend at the Comic strip for @krystynahutch 

Well I didn't quite know what this conversation was going to be when we first sat down but it became apparent immediately that me and Jay R had enough in the chamber to fill multiple podcasts. Between our love of comedy, animals, video games, speedruns and weed we probably could have talked all day long! Jay R is an amazing comedian that grinds his ass off and can be found out almost every night across the city.  His passion for comedy really comes through in this conversation and you can come see him tonight at The Comedy Takeover at @sherlock_campus as well as at his brand new show starting this Thursday at 8pm at Community Taps & Pizza! They will both be amazing shows with stacked lineups full of my personal favourites.Go follow him @jay_r_comedy on instagram and Jay R comedian on facebook to see where else you can catch him slingin giggles!

A lot of times there will be a certain person I really want to ask onto the podcast but fear holds me back.  Ryan was definitely one of those people but after getting to know him I'm kicking myself for not getting my courage up earlier!  Not only is Ryan an awesome comic but he is just such an interesting guy to be around on and off stage.  Never has the word brongin and Ryan Short been in the same sentence and this conversation is no different! Come listen to us talk comedy and a million other things then get your bottom to @sherlock_campus to see Ryan perform on The comedy Takeover show with me! If you can't make that show it will be the same time and place every Monday night!Go follow Ryan on instagram @ryantheshort and catch him onstage as soon as you can!!!

I don't know about you guys but I thought the podcasting was severely lacking in some serious bro-down time.  Luckily a new comic started in the Edmonton comedy scene so I scooped him up for a podcast episode and damn did it deliver! Jordan is a hilarious guy who I cant wait to see progress into the awesome comic he is destined to be.  I'm pumped this conversation is going to live on the internet forever to document when he was only a few sets in before he is tearing up the world with his comedy! We bounce all over the place in this convo as always but the running through point is just a couple dudes being bros having a good time! Go give Jordan a follow @toughguys_dontdance and let him know you enjoyed the podcast! Also go check out his new podcast called "the chrome boys" wherever you listen to podcasts!ALSO come check out my brand new comedy show at @sherlock_campus at 7pm Monday March 27 and every Monday following!  The comics on the lineup are absolutely bonkers and you will be kicking yourself if you miss out!

Today's guest is one of the funniest new comedians in the Edmonton comedy scene and wouldn't you know it he is also one of the nicest as well!  We chop it up about comedy, trucking, Star Trek and so much more.  I wanted to have Art on from the first time I saw him do stand up at the first year comedy competition.  Not only did he win it but he smoked the rest of us by a good margin and he is only getting better.  The other week he crushed a headlining set at the comic strip for 20 straight minutes.  I could not be more impressed by Art, nor could I be more excited to help share him with you all.  Go give him a follow on instagram @artbellerosecomedy and go see him perform asap, you can thank me later!Catch Art at the Rivers Casino in Ft. Mac March 28thAs well as at the comic strip April 20-22nd

The people asked for it and we delivered! Lars is back on the podcast for his third time and its a juicy one! Lars was the first comedian I ever had on the podcast all those years ago and it was so fascinating having these conversations before and after trying stand up.  The first two conversations were between a real comedian and just a diehard comedy fan and they were great.  This episode is pretty much the same but I'm one step closer to being a real bonafide stand up comedian and I think thats pretty damn cool. This conversation is pretty nerdy about comedy but its full of passion and wisdom so even if you hate comedy you will enjoy it I promise! Check out  Lars on social media @extralars and on his website www.extralars.com and most importantly go see him do stand up all across the country!You can also see me tonight Feb 15th at Rick Bronson's Comic Strip in West Edmonton Mall! @comicstripwem

Yo yoooo! We are back with another awesome episode of the Vondubcast with the talented Liam Connel! Liam Started comedy in Lethbridge and is now a staple of the Edmonton comedy scene.  You can catch him all over the city doing shows when he isn't working in film helping bring the magic to the silver screen!  Come hear all about both comedy film and even a healthy dose of MMA at the end for my fight heads (all 3 of you)Follow Liam on instagram @theliamconnel and catch Liam do standup at the Comic strip Feb 15th (Im on this show too!)Feb 26thMarch 2nd-5th

Today we have a wonderfully positive and bubbly guest in my fellow fledgling comedian Alex Jocko!  I love talking to comics that have been at it for years and years because there is always so much to learn but its also a blast to have a fellow baby comedian on to talk about navigating this new world.  Alex is a super positive lady that I had a blast getting to know better.  We talked about comedy, parenthood, running shows and all kinds of other things.  Come give it a listen for dose of pure positivity and more than a few laughs!You can check her out @alexjockojokesand go see her every Thursday at her show at the Blackdog Freehouse on Whyte ave at 9:00pm as well as plenty of other shows around Edmonton!

Esteemed Twitter user and Dog Island alum Andrew Neville joins us to mock one of, and I'm not mincing words here, the worst pieces we have read. The culprit? None other than our old pal, Adam Zivo.In this piece (published in the Daily Hive lol) Zivo tries to use statistics to argue that crime is out of control. The problem? It's based on an opinion poll.

Every once and a while a conversation impacts me to the point that it sticks with me for days and sometimes even weeks. This was definitely one of them! Alia and I met doing comedy as we are both new on the scene and excited to get better and we hit it off right away! For weeks leading up to this podcast we chatted a ton and made each other laugh on the daily so I could not have been more excited even when the first 2-3 attempts to record ended up not working. We had so many plans to talk about a million different things and we ended up not getting too many of them. The first part of the conversation you will hear is a lot about comedy and is full of our patented silliness. Then we somehow stumbled into talking about that thing that if I name here I'll get banished to Instagram jail and no one will see my posts again lol. It was an amazing conversation where two people with different stances were able to stay civil and still have some laughs throughout! I must say the conversation we ended up having is one I've tried to have since I first started the podcast and not one person would step up to the plate. On top of that when the conversation did happen organically the guests would want it cut out after (which I will always oblige). I say this because either way you fall on the subject the the bravery to sit in the pocket and try to find middle ground is an amazing accomplishment in itself and I was thoroughly impressed (and not surprised at all)  by the fire and passion Alia brings to the things she feels strongly about. I love this conversation and I think you will too. Please go follow Alia @thealialaura and @aliasgotjokes, she is super funny and works hard to make it to a ton of shows while also being a full time university student, a fact that often blows my mind! Lastly come see us both perform at Alia's comedy fundraiser at the Rec Room in south common on Nov 10! It's full of great comedians and you will have a wonderful time! 

Good morning everyone and a happy Friday to ya! Not only is this podcast with Will Hannigan one of the most solid episodes of the VDC to date but it also ended with some huge news! Will and a few other hilarious comics are performing in Slave Lake on Thursday, Sept 22 at 6:30 at Dog Island Brewery and they are going to let me do a special guest set! This will be my first time doing comedy where people I know can come and watch and I'm both super excited and super nervous about it.  Tickets are $30 and available on eventbrite (message me if you need help) So far with this podcast everything thing has been free and I haven't asked anything of you amazing fans but this is the big moment and I'm calling on everyone who has enjoyed this podcast to share this post and come out to the show if you can! Tickets are already more than half sold so get on it quick and if there is enough interest we may be able to add a second show so let's sell this biznitch out!!!This episode is mostly stand up comedy related and whether you are a huge fan of the art form or a casual observer you are guaranteed to have a ton of laughs and learn a ton about the inner workings of attempting to make it as a stand up comic.

Mother's Day, Nation Beer & Dog Island Brewery, Calling out Men – An OBVIOU5 Voice Episode 37 Sunday Funday:  Sunday Funday where we are going to be talking about all of the drinks, whether they be beer, wine, or liquor that has been brewed or distilled in Western Canada.  This one here is from the Nation Network along with Dog Island Brewing and is brewed in Slave Lake.   This is a Kolsch beer, it's a very light beer and it's very crushable. It has a lot of citrus aromas to it, and the taste is quite enjoyable especially good if you're sitting on a patio on a hot day, and the Oilers are playing.  This is Oilers branded, we have our colours, on the side “Mission 2021” for the playoffs that we'll be running into. So right here, this embodies everything that an oiler fan should be drinking, as we go into the playoffs coming up.  So, this first sip I'm going to send out to Connor McDavid hitting 100 points in 53 games. I'm going to send this out to Leon Draisaitl for getting his 500th point, and also Adam Larson playing his 600th game. Cheers, gentlemen.    Parenting:  We're going to talk about Mother's Day today, and is huge on so many different levels especially in lockdown right now we're not able to go and hug our moms. Mom, I love you. Thank you very much. I want to talk about all of the mothers out there, and I wanted to say thank you to you, I'm taking this platform today to thank my mother to thank all of the women out there that have helped me become the person that I am today. And then helped me become the father I am today because, without those women, I wouldn't be able to be the father, and parent to my beautiful girls that I am right now.  So, everything that I am comes from that. My mother, my sister, my princess.  My ex-wife, my mother-in-law, coworkers that I've worked with friends that I've met, all of the mothers, all of the females out there, have helped mold me helped me get through tough times, helped me become the man I am today, and helped me evolve even through my 40s to where I want to be in the future.  Thank you.    Mental Health:  We're going to talk about getting healthy.  Because getting healthy is key to our mental health, and getting healthy starts small, I don't want you to try and have some kind of huge goal that you're looking for unless it's a long-term goal because way too many of us are taking these big goals, failing and never going back, start off small. Celebrate your small victories, because these victories are the ones that going to make you want to come back. These victories are the ones that are going to tell your friends, your family, and your loved ones about.  These victories are the ones that you're going to think about and hold on to when you wake up the next morning and you get back into the gym, or you go back on that run.    Dapper:  Today we are talking dapper in a different kind of sense. The reason why I want to bring this up is where we talk about who we are as human beings and how we interact with the community and with people out there, honesty, integrity, and chivalry is three main concepts when you talk about being dapper. I'm bringing this up is because of the story that came to light about Jake Virtanen from the Vancouver Canucks.  I read this story, and it was difficult to read through. It was something that really hit home on so many different levels being an ex-athlete ex-hockey player, knowing that community and that brotherhood. Being a father now with two young daughters, working in the service industry with so many females that are involved. I feel as though I take on a parenting aspect in their lives as well.  Men, we need to step up, we need to be better, we need to speak up if we hear some colleagues or friends or people that we know that are degrading women in any kind of sense, or telling stories of something that you just feel isn't right, it's time for us to step up and say something. There's no need to just be silent during those times.    Dad Tip of the Day:  “If you are a mom. You are a superhero, period.”    An OBVIOU5 World  @CaptainOBVIOU5  Oilers Nation  @OilersNation  Dog Island Brewing  @DogIslandBeer 

If you've ever thought of just getting away from it all, there is a secluded island located off of Florida's Forgotten Coast. Dog Island is part nature preserve and part home for very resourceful residents. It is amenity deprived, hurricane prone and only accessible by plane or boat. This ancient paradise has a history dating back 8,000 years. We meet up with author Laura Valeri who talks about the island's wild beauty as well as its extremely fragile state. Then we go through Florida's back roads to the small town of Two Egg, to find out the origins of how it got its name.

A fearless 14-year-old girl who lives in a bleak part of a place called Dog Island is the hero of a new production called Dakota of the White Flats from Red Leap Theatre company.

Show multiple perspectives Look at examples: Instagram post about Usain Bolt having COVID-19 that actually shows a picture of Kevin Hart Understanding the motive and reason that someone may post something misleading or untrue Looking at similar stories from different perspectives How to package a lesson where students view news videos from different sources then compare/contrast and reflect on them. EdPuzzle - build in reflection questions and compare/contrast activities Google Site - package all of that content into one location - even embed the EdPuzzles on the site! Fake Sites to look at: Save the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus - zapatopi.net/treeoctopus Dihydrogen Monoxide - DHMO.org The Dog Island - thedogisland.com Be sure to combine fake sites with real sites that seem suspicious History of Fake News Timeline from Common Sense Media Look at historical events from 2 perspectives - American Revolution from the American perspective and the British perspective. “There’s two sides to every story, but the truth lies right in the middle.” Dragnet: “Just need the facts.

Sorry it's been a while but here is a new episode. We discuss the ongoing pandemic, the Portapique tragedy, a budding Nazi colony in Cape Breton, local Black liberation movements, our wretched city council, Matt Whitman's mayoral aspirations and finally discuss some exciting news for the future of Dog Island. It's a long episode but it is very good. 

Today's guest is Chad Paulson, one of the co-creators of Dog Island Brewing. What started out as a simple hobby operated out of their electrical shop at grizzly electric has grown into a staple of the community as their passion for brewing grew and the price of oil fell they decided to take a huge leap of faith and dive full time into creating their dream.  We discuss how it felt to take such a big risk, the entrepreneurial speedbumps, the amazing support of the community in rallying behind them, what it took to find employees that  matched their vision and how chasing your dreams can take you anywhere.  Stop by their tasting room in Slave Lake or look on their website http://dogislandbrewing.com/  for a liquor store near you to try out any of their exciting new flavours, but more importantly the love and passion in each and every can.

Our virtue in this episode is: Love! Come visit Ninja Dog Island off the coast of Japan where many dogs are training to find their future families. Michi is one of those Ninja Dogs, dreaming of the day when he'll find his forever home. When will that day come? What kind of family will need him? Will he be able to love and defend his new family? Find out in today's episode! Discussion questions for kids: Question 1: Who are the people that you love most in your life? How do they make you feel? Question 2: What are some ways you can show those people you love them?

Porky Pig has withdrawn the energy of the Looney Tunes from the toxic system of television. What does work stoppage, the fourth wall eroding, and Daffy being horny for Warner Bros. tell us about worker power? It's Space Jam. And a Dog Island crossover.

This is a big one. Lewis, Dan and Ben welcome Kevin, Sergio and Darrel from Nintendo Jump Podcast to discuss their game, food and drink choices. There's also a cameo appearance from an old favourite we haven't heard from in a while...

El Tigre was a French brigantine loaded with merchandise that wrecked during a storm on 16 February 1766, east of Dog Island. The ship was headed to New Orleans from St. Domingue (modern Haiti) when they encountered a storm in the Gulf of Mexico and ran aground on an offshore reef (possibly the modern Dog Island Barrier Reef). The wrecking of Tigre and the survival of an experienced seaman and French merchant Pierre Viaud was published in a 1768, Naufrage et Aventures de M. Pierre Viaud, Natif de Bordeaux, Capitaine de Navire, Histoire véritable, vérifiée sur l’Attestaion de Mr. Sevettenham, Commandant du Fort St. Marc des Appalaches (1768). Pierre Viaud’s narrative describing the loss of Le Tigre was translated to English in 1771 and can be found: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015078546549&view=1up&seq=6

We were too lazy to make a Halloween episode this year. Please enjoy this reposting of last year's radio play, "Dog Island and the Mystery of the Mindless Spectre".   Happy Halloween!

cw: conspiracy/Epsteingate stuff.  It's just Chris and Andrew this week, you will listen and like it anyway. Canadian bourgeois electoralism had an eventful week and we talk about it. In the back half we talk about a Cape Breton PPC candidate who is a full on QANON conspiracy theorist and try to parse any kind of deep meaning from it.  Plus a much aligned and misunderstood Dog Island character makes his long overdue return.  Read: A QAnon YouTuber Is Running for Office in Canada by Mack Lamoureux

Some of Three Beers are on holiday this week so as is tradition we launch another directors special. This time we look over the work of indie darling Wes Anderson.

This is an interview between someone with 8 month sober and another with 29 years sober. One of the realest podcasts we have ever recorded. It was recorded on Dog Island Florida during a 12 In 2 Workshop. The audio quality wavers at times, but the information is powerful!

Hugh details what went down when the NCA goons tried to speak in Parade Square on the weekend. We then talk to Jason Edwards and Lisa Cameron from the Halifax Workers Action Centre. They give us some general info about the centre and then answer questions submitted by our listeners.   Good episode TBH.   Call (902) 221-0755, email info@halifaxworkersaction or visit http://halifaxworkersaction.ca/   Thanks,   Dog Island xo

Emily talks to a very tired Vigil about The Dog Island, for the Wii. It's buck wild.

We talk about the smoking ban* and some other dumb bullshit before our friend Jeska calls in to talk about the recent and sort of ongoing New Brunswick provincial election.  Check out Jeska's good clothes here and follow her @jeskagrue *Dog Island 100% opposes the criminalization of anyone (but the wealthy) and thinks the dispensary raids are bad.

We revisit some old friends as we try to make sense of the whirlwind week Halifax city council had. Finally we talk about wrestling.    We read emails written by children/real journalists dug into city council emails/we give too much context/Cleary won’t say marijuana but Whitman will say a racial slur from the 1950s/Chris discusses Whitman’s twitter style/Whitman goes on the news and says the slur/should the right opportunists at Dog Island have deleted Chris's good tweet?/politicians are unbelievably dumb/Peter Kelly is the monorail man from the Simpsons/we're going to become ward bosses/Michael Smith is a wiener/university's shouldn't police students political and social lives/where are the campus free speech warriors?/Jinder and Jagmeet/we didn't fix it in post/shout outs and send us your stuff.
