Toronto comedian Dave Merheje
by Ryan Meehan
Dave Merheje is not a terrorist. I know this for a fact because he’s produced a series of stand-up shows called the “We Ain’t Terrorists” Comedy Tour. (Why spend all of the money on the drones when you can just do the research for free?) His arithmetic interpretation of urbanized life makes him one of Canada’s most original stand-up comics working today, and he’s also our guest this week in 5 Questions. Continue reading

It’s been a very messy year in sports to say the least. That’s pretty much guaranteed anymore when you consider that we have more access to media than ever. Jus the other day I read somewhere that Buffalo Bills wide receiver David Clowney recently tweeted the results of a recent blood test he had, and that’s probably more than we needed to ever know. I guess what I’m saying is, if Joe DiMaggio was alive today we’d all be well aware that he was a dark personality who was terrified of basic conversation as opposed to the extroverted legend that could be seen out on the streets of New York partying with Megan Fox and checking in on FourSquare.
But that same access has provided us with a lot of information regarding how we view the sports we love, and in a lot of cases it’s told us a lot about ourselves and the entertainment that we enjoy. So this is my stock report of how each individual sport is doing at the moment. It’s my “Squawk Box” if you will, in the sense that I am (at least figuratively) nothing more than a parrot pecking on a computer keyboard about which multimillion-dollar activities that involve a ball I enjoy the most. BAWK!!! Continue reading
This is actually comedian Rory Scovel and not FOH Editor Krazy Koz
by Ryan Meehan
Mixing his spontaneous creativity and absurd view of the world, Rory Scovel is quickly making a name for himself across North America. Whether discussing drugs, politics, or life in general his infectious stage presence and engaging charisma will quickly shift the vibe of any room and place the audience in the scene of every punchline. Scovel has opened theater shows for such comics as Louis C.K., Daniel Tosh and Nick Swardson. And if that weren’t enough, he’s also our guest this week in 5 Questions. Continue reading

My colleague Thoughtblocking and I have distinctly different positions on the merits of Terrence Malick. He enjoys hours upon hours of nothingness disguised as cinema, I prefer to watch something along the lines the BBC’s Planet Earth (at least they aren’t trying to hide what they actually are). So some might wonder how I could like a movie like Electric Dragon?
