Episode 133: Dawg & Gus

[00:00:00] You got any podcast recs? I'm about to go on a long road trip with my fam, so I need a few.

[00:00:05] Yes dude, I have a ton. Okay, dude this reminds me, eight guys in a shipping container,

[00:00:11] daily podcasts about college wrestling. I'm listening to this betting podcast where it's like

[00:00:16] two dads and they bet on their kids little league games. There's these two monkeys who found

[00:00:22] a microphone and it's actually pretty good. We're doing podcasts, that's our world. Our world

[00:00:28] is fucking around with people. Fuck you. Fuck you for thinking that this world needs another podcast

[00:00:35] and that people you know should listen to it. It's a bad idea and a waste of time. I already

[00:00:41] bought the gear. Return it and then spend the money on literally anything else. You know,

[00:00:45] this week you went viral for your new dislike of podcasts. Is there no point anyone asking

[00:00:50] you to join those again? Yeah please, you know where I'm at with the podcast. I feel like

[00:00:54] Jordan Peterson every time I turn on Instagram, I'm on a podcast. Yes, no more podcast please.

[00:01:01] Podcast it out. Time to get podcasted back in Dana White. Grumpy pants. This is Ego and Vice,

[00:01:08] episode 133. You've got a real attitude problem McFlyer, you're a slacker.

[00:01:27] Hey, this is Mike, this is Ego and Vice. This is episode 133. Welcome back, how have you been?

[00:02:21] I'm great, thank you for asking. Yes, yes, perhaps there is too many podcasts out there.

[00:02:27] What is your consensus? What is your thought? What is your opinion? Send me a message,

[00:02:32] let me know. Egoandvice at gmail.com will discuss. It's your choice to listen to them.

[00:02:39] It's nice to have variety, right? Maybe I want to listen to a podcast about pro wrestling.

[00:02:47] I can find, I don't know, half a dozen. Maybe I want to listen to a podcast about bass fishing.

[00:02:55] There's probably more than a half a dozen.

[00:02:58] Maybe I don't want to listen to podcasts at all so I don't turn on my phone.

[00:03:02] It's choice my friends, choice. Yes there's a lot of podcasts but

[00:03:10] is there enough time in the world to listen to them all? Probably not, so don't even try.

[00:03:14] Stick to what you like and support. That's exactly what we're going to do today.

[00:03:22] My guests are my colleagues, my peers, some friends of mine, local podcasters,

[00:03:29] Dog and Gus. Really making a name for themselves over the last three years here in Ottawa and the

[00:03:33] music scene. I'm happy for Dog and Gus to be out there because the more the merrier,

[00:03:41] whatever gets the word and the sound and the music of the Ottawa music scene farther,

[00:03:50] I'm on board. And they're awesome dudes. Really really nice guys. I was on their podcast

[00:03:55] last year. We planned on doing the payback show or the rebound show or the back to back,

[00:04:04] whatever. It's finally come around. We're both busy shows right?

[00:04:09] We're going to break it down. They're going to tell us all about the Dog and Gus show,

[00:04:14] where they've been, where they are, where they want to be.

[00:04:19] Right after this self-indulgent tune. This is a song from the Riptides. That's right.

[00:04:25] It's my show. I'll play what I want. We're coming back with Dog and Gus episode 133.

[00:04:32] Eagle and Vul.

[00:06:27] Hey, we're back. This is Mike. This is episode 133. This is Eagle and Vice.

[00:06:58] Today on the podcast, not in Southwood Studio, but via satellite as they used to say back in

[00:07:04] the golden oldie days, my days. On the line I have local podcasts, local celebrities,

[00:07:11] podcasters, local radios men and videos men. The ones, the onlys, the men, the myth,

[00:07:19] the legends. Dog and Gus. What's going on guys?

[00:07:22] Oh, what an intro. That's a great intro. Are we, are we, we're locally famous

[00:07:27] right here in this room we are? Yeah, in this room. Yeah, yeah. In this room we're locally famous.

[00:07:31] I think I said, I think I said celebrity. I don't know if I actually said famous.

[00:07:37] Touche. My apologies. No, that's fine. Thanks for having us bro.

[00:07:39] Oh no, it's great. I was on the podcast. You guys were nice enough, gracious enough,

[00:07:43] hospitable enough to have me on the podcast last year and I had a great time and I said,

[00:07:51] I'll pay it forward, pay it back or whatever. So this is the Eagle and Vice

[00:07:55] crossover slash Dog and Gus payback episode. Let's see, let's see what happens.

[00:08:00] Yeah, I think we have something to talk about.

[00:08:03] Yeah, definitely. Well, you guys have been going strong and you're in your third season now?

[00:08:12] Well, the three with, it's neat how you do that because in the first season it was the

[00:08:16] one with, the second season it was the two with and now with the third season it's

[00:08:20] the three with, enter name of band and or artist.

[00:08:26] Yeah, that was actually Dog's big contribution at the beginning.

[00:08:31] Well, thank you.

[00:08:32] Because we sort of said the one and then Dog was like in the second season,

[00:08:36] I mean like when he's because we saw it, you know how you do yours is number 133 and

[00:08:41] all the other ones do number whatever. We just sort of thought something different and Dog

[00:08:46] he's pretty handy with that kind of stuff. So he put in the two with and I was like,

[00:08:51] that's brilliant. I like that. So yeah, it worked out really well.

[00:08:53] Yeah, it's cool. It's a cool play on words, but it also serves its purpose, right?

[00:08:58] The three, the two. What are you going to do when you're at,

[00:09:00] what are you going to do when you're in like the 13th with?

[00:09:05] I guess that works too, eh? Up in the double digits.

[00:09:07] The one three with.

[00:09:08] The one three with.

[00:09:09] Oh, I like that.

[00:09:11] I've already thought that far ahead.

[00:09:12] Dog will have like Alzheimer's, Alzheimer's, but yeah, so we're good.

[00:09:16] I won't remember the episodes.

[00:09:17] Yeah, it'll just be, it'll just be,

[00:09:22] it'll just be sloppy. It'll be two old guys like,

[00:09:25] it'll be like the guys from the Muppets.

[00:09:28] Yeah, it's Waldorf and Stadler.

[00:09:35] It stinks. Yeah.

[00:09:39] So how has it been going? How has the podcast been going? I know you guys

[00:09:42] are super busy with the podcast, but you have a bunch of other stuff on the go,

[00:09:46] but let's just focus on the podcast for a bit. Now that you're in your third season,

[00:09:50] you're still dropping episodes once a week. How's everything going now that you're,

[00:09:55] I guess pretty seasoned into it?

[00:09:59] I think it's just more organized for sure. And we have, you know,

[00:10:03] we don't ever want it to be too formal because it's, I don't find that to be too,

[00:10:09] it's not fun for the, for the guests and it's not fun for us really. I mean,

[00:10:14] I think that, and Doug can go on as a bit, but I like to,

[00:10:18] we like to make it all about the artists themselves and the guests, whoever that is.

[00:10:23] And then we just sort of, we're just kind of a vessel for them.

[00:10:25] And, but the one thing that we have gotten a bit better at is the background stuff,

[00:10:30] you know, like the audio and the video and the,

[00:10:32] and making sure that everything's kind of polished that way as best we can.

[00:10:36] You know, yours was obviously we had that sound thing and then we sort of sorted that thing out,

[00:10:42] but you were amazing to help us out with that. But yeah, Doug, what's the problem?

[00:10:46] What do you think?

[00:10:47] I think our questions still suck, but we're doing our best.

[00:10:49] Yeah. I mean, he's just, he's just pissed because the eighties are way down

[00:10:54] compared to the nineties in the question. You know,

[00:10:55] we had to ask the same question at the end of every show, eighties or nineties,

[00:10:58] and Doug's just totally, it's gotta be what, 75 to 30 or something like that.

[00:11:04] Yeah. But I'm thinking in season four, it's only going to be people over the age of 45 that

[00:11:08] we're in again. Oh, that's seed strategy. It's all about strategy.

[00:11:11] Yeah. Thank you. 45 is perfect because they'll still say nineties.

[00:11:15] No, they won't. Yeah. No. Okay. 50 then fine. I'll just go,

[00:11:18] I'll go to the octogenarians and they'll say, I'm sorry. What was the question?

[00:11:25] Anyway, it's been going well.

[00:11:27] Yeah. I think the longer you do anything, like I remember when I started the podcast,

[00:11:30] I told you guys, I did it with the cheese grater and the rock band microphone and the duct tape.

[00:11:35] And then now I kind of have everything figured out. You guys have a lot of moving parts in

[00:11:39] your podcast though, because you do the audio, you do the video. I saw the other day on,

[00:11:44] I was just going through it and on Spotify, you actually have the video when you click on

[00:11:48] the link. Is that right now? Yeah. Some of them we're trying now. We have the,

[00:11:53] obviously on YouTube, we have the video always. And then we thought, well,

[00:12:01] why don't we just throw it up on Spotify as well? Have both the audio and the video.

[00:12:06] So yeah, that's a little thing we tinkered with. That's cool. It may stay. It may not.

[00:12:11] We're not sure. We don't know. We might just keep the video on YouTube and then have the

[00:12:16] audio on Spotify, but it doesn't matter because it's on everything. So it's like,

[00:12:19] you can listen to audio or you can listen to video or watch the video or whatever.

[00:12:22] Cool. Well, we might as well do a little backstory because there might be a lot of

[00:12:29] listeners that are familiar with Dog and Gus, but they don't really know what Dog and Gus is

[00:12:33] all about. Did you guys want to give a little backstory of how the podcast got started?

[00:12:38] Sure. Go ahead, Doug.

[00:12:40] Well, of course it all goes back to the big C.

[00:12:44] Yes, the big C.

[00:12:45] The big C. I was looking for something to do during COVID because I wasn't working a lot

[00:12:52] and I was getting stir crazy. So I bought some podcast equipment. I just started doing

[00:12:56] my own little music podcast by myself in my apartment. And later on, when we were able to

[00:13:03] go out and actually be around other people, I met up with Gus and another friend at the

[00:13:09] Salomon Shopping Center. And I mentioned to Gus, I said, I'm interested in starting a radio

[00:13:17] station. And he kind of looked at me and he goes, well, why don't we do a podcast?

[00:13:21] And I went, okay. And stupidly said, about what? And he looked at me like I had an extra head and

[00:13:30] said music, of course. And I was like, what a great idea. So it kind of started with that.

[00:13:38] And then we started to chat a little bit about it and then it was like, well,

[00:13:42] what are we going to call it? And I thought of two guys chatting or something like that.

[00:13:49] Two guys chatting, which I didn't really drive with.

[00:13:52] No, no. And then he came back. He texted me back a little while later. He said,

[00:13:57] what about Dog and Gus? And I'm like- Again, he didn't know what Gus meant.

[00:14:01] I'm like, yeah, the dog part I understand. What's this Gus? And he's like Angus.

[00:14:07] That's Gus' last name. His last name is Angus. So once he filled the idiot in on

[00:14:12] what he was trying to think about, it kind of gelled. And then it was like,

[00:14:17] okay, so we got a name. Now we need, I mean, a caricature, right? Because I loved his

[00:14:24] caricature from his real estate that he had. So we got that done and that was just perfect.

[00:14:30] You can see it on our shows and stuff. It's such a huge part of the podcast. People love it.

[00:14:38] Yeah. For me, it's all about branding and Dog sort of, I remember when we first started our

[00:14:48] podcast, started talking about music and we didn't know exactly where we would fit in.

[00:14:51] And then somebody messaged us, Mark from Makeout Stank, Mark Leo, great guy,

[00:14:57] and said, do you guys do interviews? And then my hamster started jogging. And then I was

[00:15:01] like, this is probably what she'd be doing. And then it sort of evolved. And the second show

[00:15:09] or third show maybe, I'm friends with Amanda Rayome and she agreed to come on. And then

[00:15:14] once we had that person who's a genuine, like a pretty successful Ottawa artist

[00:15:21] and a great person, and she said yes. And then we had an interview and

[00:15:25] Dog was nervous. And then she's sitting with us and we were at Staples because

[00:15:29] that's where we started. They have a little podcast room there. We didn't know.

[00:15:34] Yeah, we didn't have all our own equipment yet. And then of course we got it all later, but

[00:15:40] Amanda sort of, like as Dog was about to press record, she said, don't touch that.

[00:15:43] And then he just sort of relaxed after that. I think everything since then,

[00:15:47] he's been very relaxed as far as the- I get very intimidated by people

[00:15:52] in the music industry because I'm such a huge fan. And I've known of Amanda for a

[00:15:57] lot of years. And yeah, it was great for her to do that because it was kind of-

[00:16:01] Because James, sorry, Gus and Amanda know each other quite well. And I'm just like-

[00:16:05] And then she did that and we laughed. And then from then on it was great.

[00:16:09] And then I got a little nervous when we talked to Matt Saab though.

[00:16:13] Matt Saab, yeah.

[00:16:13] From Monkey Junkies.

[00:16:14] Because you look up to that band too.

[00:16:16] I love Monkey Junkies, one of my favorite local bands.

[00:16:19] So that's where we are now.

[00:16:20] Yeah. So it kind of evolved from there and we've had some amazing interviews with

[00:16:23] some amazing musical people in this city. And it's just, I'm not saying it's getting

[00:16:29] better, but we're getting better at what we're doing.

[00:16:31] Agreed.

[00:16:32] And the people that we talk to are so gracious to give up their time to talk to us and

[00:16:38] talk about their journeys musically and stuff. And it's been so much fun.

[00:16:42] For the branding, I got to say though, Dog and Gus and your characters is far more,

[00:16:48] I think for my opinion, is far more marketable than two guys on the radio or whatever you

[00:16:51] were going to call them.

[00:16:52] Yeah, I agree. Give him the kudos that he deserves. It was a much better, yeah.

[00:16:58] Has a good ring.

[00:16:59] Yeah, right? And you can spray paint it and you can have it on a t-shirt.

[00:17:03] So that's what you want.

[00:17:06] The other one's a lot of letters for like a sticker, you know what I mean?

[00:17:08] Yeah. Fine guys, fine, fine.

[00:17:12] Well, we just copied Ego and Vice and then just sort of switched it.

[00:17:15] Exactly. Dog and Gus, Ego and Vice.

[00:17:17] Yeah, that's right. That's right. I'm still waiting for those checks, eh?

[00:17:23] The royalties?

[00:17:23] Yeah.

[00:17:24] Keep waiting.

[00:17:24] You actually owe us money.

[00:17:25] Oh, shit.

[00:17:28] Is that what happened?

[00:17:30] No, I don't know.

[00:17:31] You flipped it on me when I wasn't paying attention.

[00:17:33] All that cash that we're pouring in both of yours and ours.

[00:17:38] Yep. So that was one of my questions is when you guys got started, was there any other

[00:17:43] topic that you were going to do but you just kind of answered it where it was music?

[00:17:50] And I think that's one thing that we share and it's also kind of our outlook or our mission

[00:17:55] statement with the podcast where you said it, you touched on it earlier where it's all about

[00:18:01] the guest. And I'd imagine that when after you had Amanda on and you actually started

[00:18:06] having guests on, did your kind of outlook on the podcast change from when you first

[00:18:10] decided to do it to maybe halfway season one when you've had all these guests?

[00:18:14] This was the direction you were going to go in always or did you ever

[00:18:18] fall back into, I don't know, just talking about music and stuff?

[00:18:23] Well, we did a couple where we kind of went back because we didn't have anybody that week

[00:18:28] or whatever for whatever reason. But once we started talking to people, we both kind of went,

[00:18:33] I think this is the way we need to go with this. Just us chatting about music was fine

[00:18:39] for the first three or four. But then once we started talking, it was like, yeah, this is

[00:18:44] definitely the way that we're going to envision it to go now. When we first started, I don't

[00:18:50] think we had really a vision. No, there wasn't like a vision per se. We just sort of didn't

[00:18:56] know what we were going to do. Like exactly that. And I think that the interviews that came

[00:19:02] from that sort of spitballed into the idea of the show and why our mission statement

[00:19:10] and everything kind of came from actually just doing it. Like as opposed to having an idea

[00:19:16] and then just thinking about it so much and then maybe putting it on, getting a mic in

[00:19:20] front again, going from there. But for us, it was just, it sort of evolved. It really did.

[00:19:25] It was nothing that we thought of. We didn't envision this. We knew that we wanted to

[00:19:32] chat. We wanted to kill some time talking about some music and then just sort of evolved into a

[00:19:36] nice little thing that we do together. Yeah, that's awesome. And I can relate to that too,

[00:19:40] because when you were talking about the Big C, when you guys started the podcast,

[00:19:44] I had started the podcast a couple years before that where when I first started,

[00:19:48] it was kind of like that. I was just talking about my own stuff. Like, hey,

[00:19:50] I'm in a band and I do this and this. And then I started having guests on and I really,

[00:19:54] really enjoyed that because it completely changed the direction of what I was doing.

[00:19:59] And it really motivated me to kind of keep going and stuff. Because if I was still just

[00:20:04] sitting there by myself talking about my own shit, Eagle and Vice wouldn't exist right now.

[00:20:08] And I tell you that truthfully, because through the pandemic, it became more of just

[00:20:12] the sit there and talk about what's going on. Because I stopped having guests on during

[00:20:16] the pandemic and I almost just quit. I almost like shut it down. Like if you look back

[00:20:21] through the archive, you'll see like a big eight month break between episodes.

[00:20:27] Yeah.

[00:20:27] And I realized it was just like, I don't really want to do this without the guests. And as soon

[00:20:31] as the pandemic opened up a bit more and people started coming in and the guests started coming

[00:20:36] in, I was like, there it is. This is why I do this. It's super fun for me to build it

[00:20:41] because it's a hobby and I have a passion and I'm involved in the music scene. But

[00:20:45] what I really like doing is setting that platform for the local music, local artists,

[00:20:54] local bands, meeting them, having those conversations. The content's awesome and

[00:20:58] it helps out the scene. And it's a really, I don't know, I just, I love sitting down

[00:21:04] and having conversations with people, especially with something as interesting

[00:21:07] as much as I love his music. I'm guess you guys, sorry, I'm rambling.

[00:21:10] I guess you guys are kind of the same idea.

[00:21:13] Yeah. We adore music. That's, you know, I play a little bit of guitar and harmonica

[00:21:17] and dog is a DJ, but it's not like we're musicians in the scene. We're simply

[00:21:23] lovers of the artists and the music and our passion for Ottawa music has grown

[00:21:30] substantially just because of the people we've met and the music that we've found here.

[00:21:34] Yeah. I don't think you need to be a musician to love and to share and to support music

[00:21:39] though, do you know what I mean? Like it doesn't matter. It's just like you go up

[00:21:43] and you learn and you talk about it and you share that passion, whether you play on the stage

[00:21:47] or whether you DJ or whether you listen to music. And I don't know, I think it's awesome.

[00:21:53] I think music should be loved and shared in any way, in every way.

[00:21:57] Yeah. It's a therapy. It's like, feel good. You play music. If you feel shitty, you play music.

[00:22:03] Yes. 100%.

[00:22:05] It's a pretty good combo. Yeah, agreed.

[00:22:09] Cool. You're cool.

[00:22:11] Oh, thanks man. Along with the podcast, I noticed that you're also doing a radio show

[00:22:17] called Dog and Gus Do the 90s on Whitewater. What's that all about?

[00:22:22] All 90s different genres. Every Tuesday, 7-9 and then on whitewaterrocks.ca and then Dog does his

[00:22:30] own show on Wednesday, which is from 7-9 where he's in the kitchen and he plays a lot of all

[00:22:37] the Ottawa artists. Yeah. A lot of, well not a lot, but indie artists from Ottawa, anybody

[00:22:42] who's like, actually a lot of folks who've been on our show, of course. And I'm going

[00:22:48] to start looking through yours and he'll be posting some of your shows because you've got

[00:22:52] a lot of local guys that you've had on too that I haven't spoken to. So I'm just trying,

[00:22:56] yeah, for two hours I just play local source music as best I can and it's been great.

[00:23:02] Yeah, it's fun. And Mike Graham who runs

[00:23:06] Whitewater Rocks, he has a show on Thursday nights and we've just had another gentleman

[00:23:10] join us, Chris Gaines out of Kingston. And he's another promoter slash musician dude

[00:23:18] and he's amazing and he has a show called Barnburner on Saturday nights.

[00:23:23] Cool. Yeah. You're next, you're next. You got to fill out the Monday spot or the

[00:23:30] Friday spot. We'll get you on there. Yeah, sure. That'd be cool. What is your take

[00:23:35] on radio nowadays? Like everybody and their dog has a podcast. And I can't remember the last time

[00:23:42] I actually switched on, like if I'm driving on the car radio, like I said, I used to work

[00:23:47] with a radio station in town and every time I get in my vehicle, I turn on music or I turn

[00:23:53] on a podcast, information, that type of stuff. Where do you see the future of radio going?

[00:23:59] Do you figure that podcasts are the future? Do you think they'll eventually just kind of

[00:24:04] phase radio out altogether? Where's your take on that?

[00:24:09] What do you think? I think they're going to go away because

[00:24:12] unfortunately what they play is all the same music. You know, I haven't turned it on in

[00:24:18] a while but every time I go to Shae 106, it's Thunderstruck's on or like, you know, like

[00:24:22] it's just to me, I think the key that was so great about Live 88.5 and you were part of

[00:24:27] that was the fact that they did play local artists and they did play, you know, some obscure

[00:24:34] stuff as opposed to just hits, you know. And I think that that's, I think there'll always be

[00:24:40] a place for it. I just don't know where they're going to evolve to or devolve from.

[00:24:45] SiriusXM has obviously crushed them too. I mean, that's a big station. That's a big moving

[00:24:52] part too. But podcasts, I mean, God, like you said, I mean, I much rather put on a podcast.

[00:24:58] I listen to about four or five different ones a week, including Eagle and Vice. And then I,

[00:25:05] you know, just say I enjoy them because they're informative and then you can learn a bit

[00:25:10] more about anybody. And, you know, I just, I think that you'll see a lot more internet

[00:25:17] based radio as well. And then not to say that that's because we're on it. I mean,

[00:25:21] that is part of it in my vision, but it's like, you know, I think that some people,

[00:25:25] you know, it's harder. People will create apps and then you can go from there. But I don't

[00:25:28] think that traditional radio that we grew up on that we loved is going to ever be the same.

[00:25:35] Yeah. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. No, go ahead. Oh, I was going to say, I think it's almost like

[00:25:41] because you can't podcasts or like anything streaming or any music, you can choose what

[00:25:48] you want to listen to where it's like, it's even like TV right now. It's like nobody

[00:25:52] channel serves anymore. Everybody kind of streams and I figure radio is going to get

[00:25:57] that way too. It's just like you turn on the radio and you have to listen to what's on,

[00:26:00] right? Where it's like every everybody nowadays, it's like, I'm going to choose exactly what I,

[00:26:05] what I want. I think it's sad though, because it's just like losing CDs. It's just

[00:26:09] like losing physical copies of things. Then you're going to lose TV. You're going to lose

[00:26:13] radio and everything just the hardest thing for me in the world is to sit in front of a menu of

[00:26:17] I can listen to anything at any time, at any point in anything. And I can never decide what's

[00:26:22] on. I miss, I miss the comfort of just laying on the couch, half comatose channel surfing

[00:26:28] and watching nothing. Maybe even with the radio too, turn on the radio and there's your

[00:26:31] favorite song coming on. Who knows? Who knows? For sure. I mean, I, for years and years,

[00:26:36] I've now, I've turned, I've in one vehicle. I didn't even know how the radio worked

[00:26:41] because I would listen to a CD that I mixed or a playlist that I have or along those lines. I

[00:26:47] just, the radio, I just, I don't deal with commercials. I don't, and I don't want to slag

[00:26:52] any of the DJs, but I just find that some of them were, I just, I just didn't jive with,

[00:26:58] I just didn't like to listen to them. I like to listen to Doc and Woody in the morning when

[00:27:02] I was driving in the morning. Like I enjoyed that show because I liked Randall more too. He

[00:27:06] was like, he was very informed. Like he gave it, yeah, I would love to his, his

[00:27:11] Randall's rants. Yeah, they were great. But, but you're right. It's, it's sort of a sad

[00:27:17] thing because, you know, what is, what is going to come of that? And I think they'll

[00:27:23] have to evolve or they'll have to change the way they do things because, you know,

[00:27:27] that's just the way it's going, you know, and they got to kind of evolve with times.

[00:27:30] It does suck for sure. I agree because I love, I still have my CDs and my albums and stuff, but,

[00:27:36] but it's a, but young people like they don't even know.

[00:27:38] It's going to become down. I think it's come down to monetary, like you're paying all these

[00:27:42] people to be on the radio and stuff. And if people are not tuning in and listening and

[00:27:46] stuff, it's gonna, the listing ship is going to go down and they're not going to need

[00:27:49] these radio. They're kind of, they're killing jobs all over the place with like the CBC and

[00:27:53] stuff and just dropping. Yeah, exactly. And dropping radio stations like they were, you know,

[00:27:59] like they're a bad investment now. Well, that's, that's kind of one of the things I brought up

[00:28:03] the question because it just seems like every six months you'll see something on like social

[00:28:08] media where it's like, cause I am an ex. I used to, well, my ex wife way back when she

[00:28:13] used to work for CTV. So I knew all that, all those people in that kind of, in that media,

[00:28:19] you know, with 88 five and the radio stations and stuff. And I've just seen them kind of

[00:28:24] this like Bob FM, you know, you can go on. They just like, and I knew the people that were,

[00:28:28] they're working for that and they just eventually just cut back and cut back. And until there's

[00:28:32] and the Rogers radio, just, they just got rid of that, didn't they? What was that?

[00:28:37] Rogers Rogers cutting back Bells cutting back. So it's like a bill media got rid of like,

[00:28:42] you know, Stump Man Stu and that whole crew at Magic. Yeah. They're not going to pay

[00:28:48] these DJs any money anymore. So it's, you know, and you know, they there's the Howard

[00:28:52] Stearns of the world are, you know, few and far between, you know?

[00:28:56] I guess so. Yeah. But you know, this is the way it goes. And speaking of like,

[00:29:01] you were talking about the car where you didn't know how to work the radio in your car.

[00:29:06] My girlfriend just bought a brand new Subaru and this, this might be been going on forever,

[00:29:12] but I kind of made note of it just by something I saw online where they said

[00:29:16] people don't even notice that CD players don't come with cars anymore. Yep. It's true.

[00:29:21] It's like, there's nowhere to like, even if you brought your say you're at old school

[00:29:23] and you buy this nice car and you bring your nice big CD book,

[00:29:25] there's nowhere to put the frigging CD, right? It's all yeah. It's cause it's all

[00:29:29] built into the dash on that. Yeah. So you can't even ask,

[00:29:33] you can't even ask for it. I don't think I don't know.

[00:29:35] Well, you have an Excel report where you could probably plug one in, but that's right.

[00:29:39] There's no not physically in the vehicle. Like a disc man. Yeah.

[00:29:42] Yeah. If anybody has one of those, nobody has any of those. If you do, they're selling on eBay.

[00:29:48] Do you remember the thing where you had the CD player and you had the little dummy cassette

[00:29:52] that you had to put in your cassette player and it had the cable that hung out that kind of

[00:29:57] ran your CD player? Yes, sir. I remember that. And then I remember when I bought my pioneer

[00:30:03] with the, like the flashy lights on it and put it on my fucking $300 shit box. It was like,

[00:30:08] it was amazing at the time because I could, I could play my CDs at a rapid pace.

[00:30:13] Yeah. Yeah. Cause I can't listen to, I can't listen. He doesn't listen to whole songs.

[00:30:17] I do, but at different times. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. Well, you know,

[00:30:23] whole songs, half songs, sometimes half songs are better than whole songs. You get the gist

[00:30:27] of it, right? So it's a, it's a problem because I'm always looking for the right song.

[00:30:33] Like you just said about trying to figure out what to listen to. It's, it was,

[00:30:38] it's been a thing with the CDs even like I had a book of CDs and I would just be like

[00:30:41] flipping through them while smoking a cigarette driving standard, you know, you know, you,

[00:30:45] you basically kind of got away with it back then maybe talking on a flip phone too.

[00:30:51] And yeah, those days were fun though. I loved having that, but I loved the new CD

[00:30:56] and I love tapes because I remember tapes were a big thing with my first car. So I had

[00:31:00] all these tapes and you could just put them in the tape deck. Yeah. Like that's even

[00:31:04] Jake. Yeah. Well, it's, it's the nostalgia of the actual hard copy. Like I always bring up,

[00:31:12] like when you got it and you unwrapped the plastic on it and they always had that kind of

[00:31:17] smell, like this, the book, it was almost like a, like the press or the printing or something. It

[00:31:22] had that smell to it. That was just, anyway, it's great. I have a, I have a little question

[00:31:31] thing that I do at the end of every podcast, kind of like what you guys do with your eighties

[00:31:34] and nineties. But one of my questions is what was the very first CD tape or, you know,

[00:31:43] record that you actually bought with your own money? And I've had guests on that are like

[00:31:49] younger generation bands and where they say, Oh, I don't know. I've never bought,

[00:31:54] I've never bought music before like that. Like, and it's just like, Oh, that's crazy. Right?

[00:31:59] Like, yeah, not even a CD. They're like, you saved a lot of money. Yeah. They're just like,

[00:32:04] no, cause you know, it was, it's the, it was, it doesn't seem that long ago for me.

[00:32:09] Right. But I guess it kind of, it has been. Yeah. Sometimes sometime in your life,

[00:32:16] you bought the last CD that you've purchased and you didn't even know it. It's deep, man.

[00:32:23] Do you keep your CDs or have you gotten rid of them? Like some people do.

[00:32:26] I have all mine in the garage with my old, I have a pioneer CD player that you touch the

[00:32:32] top and the thing goes down and then you put the CD like this, like, you know, like flat.

[00:32:37] And then, and then I listened to it in the garage because, you know, it's just,

[00:32:43] it's just kind of my space, you know? And then, yeah, no, I still have them. I have all of mine

[00:32:49] and I have a 200 disc CD player. Yeah. That's true. And it's like,

[00:32:54] and they also work, but they still work. They still work perfectly. That's the thing. Like

[00:32:58] that stuff was made primo. Yeah. They'll never, they'll never have the, well,

[00:33:04] maybe some of them will, but they'll never have like that value, like, like old vinyl

[00:33:08] did because CDs were just so unbelievably just mass produced, right? They're just like plastic.

[00:33:13] Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. That's where they made the most money in the music industry. CDs.

[00:33:20] Yeah. CDs came out. They would charge you 20 bucks. It cost them like 50 cents.

[00:33:24] The main thing is something. Right. Crazy, right? And vinyl was always like 30 bucks

[00:33:29] or 20 bucks to press, right? Yeah. Back in the days of the big, the big record companies

[00:33:34] too, that would just like pay the artists peanuts and zero money to make. And those people would

[00:33:39] just get fat rich off of artists. Anyway, we're going, we're going down the nostalgic

[00:33:46] rabbit hole, which I love, but let's talk a little, just a little bit more about Doug and

[00:33:50] Gus. So over the three years that you've been doing it, can you talk about some of the

[00:33:55] highlights? Some of the, some of the best things, the best memories that you can, like

[00:33:59] just, you know. What? You go first. I'll go first. We've, we've talked about this a few times where

[00:34:09] we're trying to pick out one that stands out above others. And I can't really pick anything.

[00:34:16] Well, the Amanda Rayum one was a big one because that was, that was key to us. Like to me

[00:34:21] personally lightening up about like who we're talking to and realizing as Gus would tell me

[00:34:25] many times that they're just people, right? And I'm just kind of like, I got to,

[00:34:29] you know, just kind of not be so nervous about it. Just having some of the amazing people. I mean,

[00:34:34] like having guys come on the show with their guitars and just doing stuff for us right here

[00:34:40] in the studio was just like, that was like brilliant for me. I love that. Yeah. All mere

[00:34:44] jewels when he played, we had him actually at the staples of all places. So he shows up with

[00:34:50] this beautiful guitar and dress, you know, how he dresses, he's an amazing hat. He's all

[00:34:57] dressed up nicely. And then sort of chatting with him and he sort of brought up a song that

[00:35:03] was very obscure that Michael Jackson did that I absolutely love now. But then he played a few

[00:35:08] songs for us and he just blew us away. Like, he was just so talented. His voice is just like

[00:35:15] melting butter. And you know, even having Trevor Allguire on and he showed up late

[00:35:21] because he was going to a pawn shop to buy a guitar from the 1930s and he's driving this 1965

[00:35:28] Chevy that's all rusted out. And he just sort of showed up and we, he could, he wanted to talk for

[00:35:34] small hours. Yeah. Like we're like, well, we're one hour and then we're,

[00:35:38] we're out, you know, just because I think that that's the best amount of time for a

[00:35:41] totally podcast. I think we've both been doing it long enough to know that anything over that

[00:35:45] is a little bit too much anyway, go on. Sorry. Yeah, exactly. So that was a fun one too

[00:35:50] because he showed up late and he was just a really charismatic fun guy. And yeah, I mean,

[00:35:55] the one with the one with Rebecca, what Noel was amazing, like so much fun and such an interesting

[00:36:01] person. And she made us laugh. And then the boys from winter, the first time they came in and

[00:36:06] it was kind of, they're all hung over and they brought the Dick man with them guy. And

[00:36:10] like it was, yeah, there's this, you know what? It's a, it's probably similar to yours in

[00:36:14] the sense that everybody brought something to the show and it was just sort of a fun,

[00:36:19] it's been fun. We haven't had any real downs. No, no, it's been amazing. Amazing. And we're

[00:36:25] hoping we can keep this up. Like the one we just did tonight was so much fun. Like we were

[00:36:31] laughing our asses off and it was just, and they were very engaging and yeah, it's been,

[00:36:37] it's been amazing. Yeah, we're lucky man. Yeah, that's awesome. And what is the future? What do

[00:36:44] you guys want to do? Like, do you have a plan for the future? Do you just want to keep going?

[00:36:50] Do you want to expand? Like what's the, what's the Gus, dog and Gus empire shaping up?

[00:36:56] I'll let Gus take this one. I don't think there's a, you know, we'd love to

[00:37:04] maybe do it as a full-time job. I guess that would be amazing, but it's not like,

[00:37:08] you know, everybody can do that. I, you know, the Rogans of the world and such, but

[00:37:14] you know, I don't think that that's our future, but I think that we'll be able to

[00:37:18] maybe do some promotions of some sort and help bands kind of create, you know,

[00:37:24] you maybe organize something for them and make sure that we have like a nice show for them

[00:37:29] or do something like that. Like maybe do 10 a year and sort of, you know, make the bands money

[00:37:34] and then make a little bit for ourselves, you know, it's not about the money. Of course,

[00:37:38] it's never been about that. It's always been about the passion, but it'd be cool to

[00:37:42] to make a little bit and sort of just, you know, dream. We can dream big and my dream has

[00:37:47] always been big. And I always figure like it'd be amazing if this was our only needed

[00:37:52] income, you know, like that would be always cool if we could create like either, you know,

[00:37:57] do some nice strategic work, maybe even with you or with anybody and just have like something we

[00:38:02] do every day or something that we do five days a week that is different. I don't know. It's

[00:38:07] sort of an evolving product that has brought me so much joy and brought Dog so much joy

[00:38:15] that it doesn't matter about that, but it would be cool to monetize it. But as you know,

[00:38:21] the music industry doesn't really bear a lot of fruit. There's a lot of love and

[00:38:27] more. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. But no, I think it could be as big as we'll take it all, man.

[00:38:33] Like, you know, I just say if we could do promotions, if we can do, say the radio

[00:38:38] station does well, say we, you know, the podcast does something and maybe, yeah,

[00:38:44] it'd be cool to have our own radio show on like SiriusXM. Yeah, that'd be cool. Or even

[00:38:48] like even maybe interviewing some bigger. Yeah, like not, you know, that's not straight away

[00:38:53] from what we've been doing. But, you know, to get into maybe some of the bigger bands here in Canada

[00:38:58] or maybe a few of our favorites that we could actually sit down and interview, that'd be cool.

[00:39:02] Very cool. I definitely think that's the way to go. There's an old saying when you're in a band,

[00:39:09] it's like how do you become successful? You just don't break up. Never break up.

[00:39:14] Just keep plugging away, plugging away and building what you're building and sooner or later

[00:39:19] you're going to look around you and you are going to have, you know, like I won't say an empire,

[00:39:23] but you are going to have something that people know. And with my podcast, I do,

[00:39:30] I just kind of plug away at it, plug out, plug away at it. And if I wouldn't be like,

[00:39:35] I'm not really anywhere, but I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing right now if I had just

[00:39:38] like kind of whatever with it. I just kept going with it, kept going with it. And it's

[00:39:42] very easy to do now and people kind of know it. And eventually you grow it. I've watched

[00:39:47] your podcast grow. Like I can tell that it's doing that and it's congratulations for that

[00:39:53] because I know how hard you guys, you work. You guys drop an episode like every Monday on the

[00:39:57] dime and that's a hell of a lot of work with the video, the audio, all your promotion,

[00:40:04] all your marketing and stuff. So you don't do that if you don't love what you're doing.

[00:40:10] And I think if you keep going down that road, it's like the snowball down the hill,

[00:40:15] it's going to eventually grow and grow. For growing bigger, this is something I deal with

[00:40:21] as well. It's that my podcast is just so niche and I get, because it's just local music and

[00:40:27] that's all I want to do. And I know that if I wanted to get out there further, like you were

[00:40:31] just talking about, I'd have to start kind of branching off into bigger bands outside

[00:40:36] of Ottawa and like, you know? And I think if you have the ability to do that and that's

[00:40:42] kind of a goal where you want to grow the brand for yourselves, I think you should totally go for

[00:40:46] it. And I don't think anyone in Ottawa is going to think like, oh, they're not local.

[00:40:50] Doug and Gus are selling out, man. I don't think that would ever be an issue, but I think

[00:40:56] for my sake, I'm just going to stay kind of local. So I'm probably never going to get that

[00:41:01] much bigger than I am, but I'm comfortable with that too, you know? But if you guys want

[00:41:06] to grow it and get it bigger, I don't think you owe a lot to anything. You've put in a

[00:41:13] lot of work and you've given back to the artists and the scene and what more can you do,

[00:41:17] right? I'm just saying. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, I think it's the strategic idea that I've

[00:41:22] always had and I think Doug has agreed with is we put it out every Monday. We're consistent.

[00:41:29] We try and stay, we're obviously going to stay together as a group,

[00:41:34] like as a team. And we discuss everything, all aspects of the show. And I respect Doug's

[00:41:42] position on things and then of course he respects mine on certain things because I

[00:41:47] do a lot of research on what works and what's good for marketing and what's this and what's

[00:41:52] that. But it's just so much. I enjoy it. So it's not like I spend time on it, obviously,

[00:41:58] and so does Doug's, but we enjoy it. So it's like who cares what happens, but it'd be amazing to,

[00:42:03] like you said, if we could evolve into the next phase of it, whatever it is. And we're happy

[00:42:08] with this as well. So it's not like we're going to be pissed off if we don't monetize it.

[00:42:15] Not at all. Absolutely. And I think that the music scene or the Ottawa music scene

[00:42:22] or whatever it is that we're all representing here, I think it's better with Doug and Gus

[00:42:27] and I'm happy you guys are there. And I think we're all supporting the same cause. And if we just

[00:42:34] keep plugging away, I think that's the success in itself. Yeah, that's the other thing someone

[00:42:40] brought up is like, oh, you're in competition with Ego and Vice. And I was like, no,

[00:42:44] actually we're not. We're all strategic in this and we're trying to be a team.

[00:42:50] I'm too old and too tired to compete with any of that shit. You know what I mean?

[00:42:58] If I was a standup comedian and your jokes were funnier, then I'd be like, they're funnier than

[00:43:02] me, but it's not about me. It's about the presentation of the local music. So it's like,

[00:43:06] how do you compete? Like I'm going to ask better questions to this band. You know what I mean?

[00:43:12] Like that doesn't make any sense. It's like, it's about showcasing the band, right? I'm not

[00:43:18] doing. Yeah. So that's always been my mission statement or that's always been my kind of MO.

[00:43:23] So, Hey man, I think it's all, I think the more the better. And we talked about this before and

[00:43:28] I think it's, I think it's great. And I wish you guys nothing but success and,

[00:43:34] and energy and good night's sleeps because you guys work too hard.

[00:43:38] But if you love what you're doing, like I said, it's not work at all. Right?

[00:43:42] Exactly. Okay. I have, I had a game which I bounced off you guys,

[00:43:49] cause we're not going to put any music in this. Well, maybe I will who knows.

[00:43:54] I put together a little competition between you guys. Cause I know that dog likes the eighties
