Talking Canadian

Monica wasn't able to make it tonight but sitting-in for her was the one and only… Russell, the host of Sens Underground.  Of course on this show, he goes by his real name - Rick.

There's not as much laughing in this episode (not because of Rick), it's just different without Monica's laughter livening-up the show.  But we still had a blast and Rick did an awesome job!  Was hoping for more cheesy jokes from him but oh well…

If some of you would like to meet both the Talking Canadian and Sens Underground crew, we're having a big get together on February 13th at the Corner Bar & Grill down in the glebe (777 Bank St. to be exact).  There will be a lot of listeners of both podcasts showing-up so come have some Beau's beer with us, meet the gang and some of the loyal listeners, watch the Sens game and have a blast.

Hope to see you there!

Episode 38: Felt Sorry for that Kid

After we recorded Episode 37 last night, I decided to watch the Sens vs Thrashers game (PVR'd).  Now why I would stay up that late to watch my team get spanked by Atlanta, of all teams, I don't know!  Regardless, it was a little too late for me to publish the show last night so doing it from work today.  But seeing that I'm extremely busy at work, I'm keeping this short.

All I will say is Joe is back and as usual... we had a blast!!  Oh and Monica didn't get drunk this time.

Episode 37: Make-Up of a Kenyan Racer

Our first episode of 2010 comes to you a little bit early.  Joe is not with us in this one, he is still out of town enjoying his Christmas holidays.  But we did have a special guest sit-in for him... his name is Todd Van Allen, a profession Comedian who just happened to be in Ottawa during the holidays and was kind enough to drop by the studio to guest on Talking Canadian. Check-out his website and subscribe to his podcast if you enjoy listening to funny people!

The show was recorded on New Year's Day (at night) but unfortunately didn't get a chance to publish it until very late on the 2nd... actually started feeling pretty sick before the show (pulled-it off though) and went straight to bed after the recording.  Todd was very funny and we all had a blast recording this episode... I wanted to hurry up and publish it as soon as possible but yeah... I was pretty sick.

This episode is almost 2 hrs long and it probably would have been even longer if I was feeling a bit better. But basically this show was about 2 guys and 1 girl talking to a comedian, drinking beer and having a blast!

I think you'll will really enjoy this one!! 

Our next TC recording will be on January 12th and we will resume our "every 2nd Tuesday" recording schedule.

Bye for now.

Episode 36: Just For Display

As you've probably already noticed, I really hate this part of the show.  The part where I have to write what the hell the show I'm about the publish is all about.  You probably think I don't mean it when I say I don't remember what we talked about even though it's just minutes after having finished recording... but it's true!

Anyway, this is our last show for 2009... we will be taking a little break during the Christmas holidays but if all goes well, we'll be starting-up once again on January 2nd.

One thing I know we talked about is the Tiger situation.  Of course we had to talk about it... I mean... who isn't talking about it.  And I think from that point on, we read some listener e-mails and basically discussed the suggested topics.  It was enough to fill a one hour show.

We were all in a good mood tonight... although Monica wasn't feeling that great (still in a good mood though).  We did have a blast recording the show like we always do and really hope you guys enjoy it.

That said, we at TC would like to wish all you loyal listeners (and new listeners) a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Enjoy the holidays and take care!

Episode 35: Laugh Out L.

What a crazy night!!!  Recorded Episode 34 then watched the Ottawa - San Jose game.  Went back to the computer to mix-down and publish the show and had nothing but problems.  Software kept crashing while converting the show to mp3 format. 

Anyway, managed to get it done this morning but didn't get a chance to publish the show (until now) since I needed to get ready for my trip to Toronto.  Actually writing this from the train right now.

So about the show, we had a blast once again.  I usually don't remember what we talked about when I write the show notes right after recording the show... well now I'm writing them the day after so it's even worse.  I know we talked about the Tiger incident... who hasn't been these days.  Keith's diet is over... FINALLY!!!  I know we talked a little about hockey and the Grey Cup.  Of course, we read your e-mails... and to be honest, I really don't remember the rest.  In fact, I'm looking forward to listen to the show myself 'cause I know there were several very funny parts.

Hope you enjoy the show... I know I will! ;-)
