The Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters 11: "Open Mike" w/ Ben Flores (Patreon)

Ben Flores (writer/comedian) returns to the show to dissect one of Canada's weirdest late 90s/early 00s phenomena: "Open Mike" with Mike Bullard. The strictly Canadian talk show that at one point had higher Canadian TV ratings than both Leno and Letterman, we get into this whole mess, from Mike's penchant for crowd work in lieu of a monologue to the most memorable guest appearance in the show's history as Tom Green brings a dead raccoon onto the show. It is...certainly something. Plus, we talk about smoking weed and Ben tries to best db in the Canadian Quiz!
