Join Oliver as he chills with legendary comedian Jon Dore, who makes his return to the show for this special Father's Day episode! Jon is an adept comic who weaves together whimsical charm and deadpan delivery to create a truly unforgettable standup comedy experience. His 2023 release titled 'A Person Who Is Gingerbread' received critical acclaim, winning the JUNO award for 'Comedy Album of the Year'! He now also co-hosts 'Brother/Sister: The Podcast' alongside his delightful sister Allison. A pod that boasts an enchanting mix of inane riffs and sincere sibling stories.

Things get started with talk about Dads, fasting and the fantastic opening acts at Jon's recent Yuk Yuk's Ottawa performance. As you might expect of a Father's Day episode, the conversation dives into parenting, step-parenting and annoying kids' shows. The discussion then touches on seizures, superstitions and Jon's memories of working for a murder mystery theatre production years ago. Oliver's Dad inquires about the pros/cons of living in Alaska and Jon gets curious about Oliver's job at the hospital. All of this and much more in this chat with one of the funniest human beings on the planet.

Join Oliver as he chills with local funnyman Emmett Morrison! A wonderful comedian, Emmett has mastered the art one-liner style comedy. His sharp wit, great writing and calm demeanor have delighted audience members at standup shows all over town. In addition to slinging jokes, Emmett is also a talented DJ with a penchant for tunes from the mod scene!

Things kick off with Emmett talking about his love for both comedy and music, and how he became involved with each. Explaining how he'd been writing jokes for ages before ever actually deciding to try performing them in front of a crowd. While his journey towards becoming a DJ was spurred on by the lack of venues playing the soul, Motown and garage rock songs loves so dearly. Oliver recounts some memories from his honeymoon in LA last fall, including being an audience member for a taping of The Price Is Right. The chat also delves into UFOs, thylacines, nicknames, Emmett being a Bruce Springsteen superfan and much more!
