Award winning comedian Brent Butt hosts a weekly comedy podcast in which he hopes each of his guests will teach him something he doesn't know, thereby making him incrementally "more smarter".

Ep.24 - Guest: CHRIS LOCKE
A fun and hilarious chat with comedian/actor/good guy Chris Locke. We talk about good things, evil things, random things, and old detectives. He and I have both played detectives in feature films - me in No Clue, and he in the upcoming, newly released WHO'S YOUR FATHER? Give us a listen. It's good for you, probably.

Ep.23 - Guest: KATIE-ELLEN HUMPHRIES
Anytime I get the chance to sit down and shoot the breeze with Katie-Ellen Humphries, it's always an absolute... and I don't use this word lightly... a delight!!! I highly recommend it, if you ever get the chance. But if that opportunity doesn't come your way, I have thoughtfully recorded a delightful chat that you can avail yourself of right here on this episode of TheButtpod. I yak it up with Katie about swimming, being covered in hickies, loving the language, and how she found herself doing comedy on a Saturday night at The Tallyho! (Every bit as exotic as it sounds). Enjoy!

Ep.22 - Guest: TIM LONG
If you're interested in comedy writing, this episode is FOR YOU...because I sit down and chat with one of the best in the biz. Writer/Producer from Late Night with David Letterman and a wee show called The Simpsons, TIM LONG parks his mug at the mic and we have ourselves a helluva a good time. I expect you will too if you give this episode a listen.

Ep.21 - Guest: JACKIE PIRICO
I've recently become a big fan of my guest in this episode. JACKIE PIRICO is a hilarious Toronto-based comedian who has performed all across this country and beyond, and her comedy album "Splashpad" was nominated for a Juno Award and is fantastically funny and original. When I listened to it, I knew I'd be tracking her down to come on the podcast. And she graciously accepted, and we subsequently had a blast and a holotta laughs! I hope you enjoy.

Ep.20 - Guest: BEN MINER
A terrific and insightful chat with comedian and SiriusXM host/exec Ben Miner. We discuss many things... so, so many things... if I told you them here, it may perhaps dissuade you from listening to the entire episode which would be, frankly, the cruellest thing I could imagine doing to you. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed yakking.

Ep.19 - Guest: CHRIS FINN
Over my 35 years in comedy, few people in the business have made me laugh more than this episode's guest, my long-time pal Chris Finn. We met as stand-ups in the late 80s and Chris went on to become one of the most prolific and sought-after comedy writers (award-winning comedy writers, mind you!) in the country. But aside from his professional comedic successes, he and I consistently gut ourselves laughing whenever we get together. It happened again here.
Customer Reviews
Big beautiful Brent is back!
I knew you still loved me!
Also that one person that said they didn’t like the fake adds is clearly the worst and brings a cloud of gloom around with them to every party. I hate that person so much. The fake adds warm this poor black, pirates heart!
Come back!
Bring back the Buttpod!! I really enjoyed hearing Brent talk about Corner Gas, Stand up and anything else he felt like talking about! I feel a Corner Gas rewatch with Nancy or any of the cast would be a smashing success.
Sad there are only 14 episodes
Just like Corner Gas, The ButtPod makes me proud to be Canadian. Funny, intelligent, sincere, and good-natured. Love it!
