Night at the Museum, minus Ben Stiller
We did it! A night at MOV with Conor Holler was a huge success! And it our very first one! I must admit, the whole thing didn’t feel like work because it was so much fun. I didn’t feel stressed or nothing. Everything seemed to just flow. So here are some behind the scene shots of that very special night, and some taken by side stage…
The host and the man with the plan.
Jordan cutting Conor’s pants (part of a gag. I won’t give it away. Too bad if you missed it.)
The three C’s…Curtis, our tech guy, Cam our booze/crowd warmer upper/sex guy, and Charlie, our guest.
Barman Colin brought too much ice so they dumped it in the fountain.
Whaa? (Those pants Cam’s wearing are cashmere, btw.)
Craig, a fine and funny young man.
It’s all good. 
The crowd! That’s Conor’s stunning family in the second row.
B.K saying a few words.
Sex guy warming up the crowd with his charming ways.
The man of the hour! (Well close to two hours.)
Cohorts.
His lady drew that. Then someone drew a penis pointing at it. Then his mum drew over the penis.
The guests…Charlie and Grant.
New crush Dan Mangan. He’s really got a Seth Rogen thing going on. And such a lovely way about him.
So many balls.
Me and Amanda, the awesome director of the MOV. I love this sign.
A talk show isn’t as glamorous as it may seem. The stage hands were also the show’s writers and host.
It was a four-man couch carry. Heavy shit.
Anyhow, the night was recorded. Not sure where it will be screened but I’ll be sure to keep you posted. Better yet, why not make it to the next one? The museum is a fun place to party…

Episode 10 – Podcast Host special!
To listen to episode 10, click here.
On this episode I was lucky enough to get some stories from other podcast hosts who I admire. On this episode we speak with Drew and Dawn, Grant Lawrence of CBC Radio 3 and the hilarious and very kind Graham Clark of Stop Podcasting Yourself. I got them to share their most emo moments with me and I shared one was well.
Also, I talk about my experience in an Israeli army training camp I attended when I was 14(!). I’ve posted this before, but here’s a picture of me shooting an M16, while I was there. Also on that trip, I was aquainted with a now-famous celebrity who was also sent on that same program.
There is a desperate lack of music and thank yous on this episode. I simply didn’t have time to do the music, which bums me out. And I didn’t get to thank Amber Webber and Josh Wells of Lightning Dust and their label for letting me use their song Wind Me Up with permission. So thanks! I’ll be seeing them at the Bonnie Prince Billy show on Thursday. Yohay! Also thank you so much to my fellow podcast hosts that took the time to share their stories with me. It means the world to me!
I’m involved with some TV making tomorrow and I’m quite nervous so wish me luck!
