    Ep 86: Grand Prank Revenge w/ Taz Van Rassel

    Mark and Ryan welcome back Taz Van Rassel (The Sunday Service), the first member of the Three Timer Club! He talks about the town of Prince George, BC where he used to visit his grandparents. He talks about Mr PG - the famous log statue. Then the conversation quickly turns to pranks of all scales - from a garbage juice prank to the infamous Boner Satan Statue of Vancouver. In our town he builds a credit union, a very suggestive sculpture, and we follow a very elaborate prank that plays out for years in our town.  Sign up here for our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheTownShow The Town Show is sponsored by No Smoke Coffee - "No Smoke.

    Ep 83 - Squawk Palace w/ Allie Entwistle

    Comedian Allie Entwistle joins Mark and guest host Christine Bortolin to tell us all about Kelowna, BC’s infamous “boob wall”. They actually talk a lot about the night life in Kelowna. It inspires a nightclub in town called Zero Love that has its own special wall. Allie also tells us about a very unremarkable museum and a place known as Parrot Island. This inspires some wild improv and of course we get our own parrot sanctuary called Squak Palace. Also be warned: there is a lot of talk of “clampsh” in this episode - the town’s very confusing currency. Oh yeah, and a London Drugs gets built in town.   Sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/TheTownShow The Town Show is sponsored by No Smoke Coffee - "No Smoke. No Mirrors. Just great coffee."
