LISTEN IN SYNDICATION (WORLDWIDE)

Interview
Adam Gontier: Lead vocalist of Saint Asonia and the original voice of the multi platinum band Three Days Grace *ahem, graces The Kasey Ferguson Show with his presence! Ahead of Saint  Asonia’s upcoming Canadian and U.S. tour dates Adam swings by to  discuss everything from his vocal process and sobriety to the famous  Three Days Grace song Deftones Chino Moreno nearly sang on, which Marvel  movie soundtrack “Never Too Late” was originally written for, hiding  under his mother's piano and her gigs when he was a child, the  hilariously strange thing he found himself watching over the pandemic,  the kid who played Scotty Smalls in The Sandlot allegedly head-butting a  police officer after he was told he was too drunk to board a flight,  The Mighty Ducks Goldberg “The Goalie” getting caught with meth, the  advice he’d give to himself as a young man and more!

Plus:  Kasey’s sicker than a season of Dr. Pimple Popper but Cousin Miri  insists his health is far less important than her bottom line. So, Miri cracks the whip and gets Kasey on a mic to make her some spending cabbage. To “help things along” she reads the first of Kasey’s many  court ordered public service announcements and fills him in on some of  the events that led to his community service (hint: it started with  mistaking the bathroom line for a conga line at a beer festival) and  what happened when he returned to Motel Ferguson (hint: it involves  singing Meat Loaf songs into the keyhole of his apartment door).

The Kasey Ferguson Show Acoustic Session: The “Unofficial Mayor of Gananoque Ontario”, Wayne “The Train” Huff.

The Short List: Kasey’s friend’s band refuses to change their ass  clenching-ly awful name so he’s compiled a list of band name suggestions  to help them reconsider including (but not limited to) Dedicated Meow  Button, Sounds Like Sodomy, Salad In A Can, Aural Contraception, Burning  While Drowning, Muff Cuff, Bobbing For Dimples, Conclusive Maybe, The Mansquitos, Nine Inch Nougat, Front Grunt, Catnip For Dogs, God The  Narcissist and Stabbed With A Gun.

Gimme Five : Miri pulls five funny slang terms for vagina out of her “panty hamster”.

Kingston Ribfest And Beer Show:
Ben from Bath, Ontario’s MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Company and Kasey catch up and discuss Mackinnon’s Lunenburg Fruit Beer, Moses himself parting clouds so he could watch his favourite bands at their Back To The Farm music festival, smokin’ doobies, the evils of edibles  and Ben making a deal with the devil to make it all stop and not keeping  up his end of the bargain. 

Julia from Founder's Original cocktails (Toronto) makes Kasey feel like he’s in an episode of Mad Men  as he samples Founders pre made Old Fashioned. The toothsome twosome  also discuss bloating, effervescent water, Kasey hosting a jazz show at  his high school radio station as a teen, Founders new Lemon Fizz and  Tequila Paloma until Kasey forgets how to talk.

Stu from Kingston’s Hard Way Cider Co. feeds Kasey Hard Way’s Raspberry Dreams while dishing on opening a tap  room featuring live entertainment and “getting the Led out”.

Jara from Clear Lake Brewing Co. (Bala, Ontario) waxes philosophical on campfire jams and the Muskoka  BeerSpa as well as why it’s not so sanitary Nordic counterparts make her  feel “icky”. Kasey invites the listeners to “drink a long with Kasey”,  and ponders places he doesn’t want beer on his body.

PLUS: Kasey is grouchy from lack of sleep and decides this episode is going to be the “aural equivalent of a dog dragging its ass on the carpet”. Your sleep deprived host tries to cover up the episode’s smouldering turd-like stench by promising that there will be sandwiches (only to be admonished by management for his snack suggesting subterfuge and frequent liberties with the truth). 

Kasey also ponders the pros and cons of his life as an aging headbanger, suspects that if he spoke less about Swedish neo classical guitar shredders he’d probably get more of the coitus, and considers doing his next show wearing nothing but a loin cloth. Cousin Miri disagrees with Kasey’s proclamation that his scent is the “perfect blend of mahogany and musk” and throws shade on bassists and keyboard players.

Interview

Bryan Scott: Bryan is the lead vocalist of Into The Fire, Cult To Follow and The Union Underground, a band you may remember from their best known single “Turn Me On Mr Deadman”. We'll discuss what it was like to be on tour with Black Sabbath, eat lunch beside Ozzy, the Into The Fire EP and how The Union Underground came to perform WWE raw's theme song for a number of years in “Across The Nation”.

Music

Three Days Grace – The Mountain

Juke Kartel – Save Me

Motley Crue – Hooligan’s Holiday

Breaking Benjamin – Defeated

Framing Hanley – Lollipop (Lil Wayne cover)

The Union Underground – Revolution Man

Cult To Follow – Leave It All Behind

Into The Fire – From The Medicine

PLUS : Kasey nearly got run over by a beer truck and while the irony wasn’t lost on him, the near death experience prompted a toothy tirade aimed at the nimrods of the world who are still texting while driving. Doug Mcfly is still grounded and tries to weasel his way back into Kasey’s good graces. Cousin Miri pokes a gaping hole in Kasey’s violent plans for vengeance.

The Shortlist : Kasey has compiled a list of OTHER things you shouldn’t do while driving including (but not limited to) : sleep, color, make a diorama, do your Ray Charles impression, see how much gum you can fit in your mouth, play Cat’s Cradle, attempt to bite your dog back, jumping jacks, swallow swords, practice your golf swing, wear a beer helmet or tailgate a SWAT van.

Interview

Matt Brooks – Guitarist of Like A Storm. Not only have Like A Storm shared the stage with Shinedown, Alter Bridge, Korn, Steel Panther, Gojira, Godsmack and Black Stone Cherry among others, their single "Love the Way You Hate Me" was #1 on Sirius XM Octane in North America for 5 weeks. Like A Storm’s stateside success makes the band the highest-charting New Zealand rock act in US radio history. Pulled from the KFS archives this interview finds Matt discussing the band producing their own records, what possessed them to use a didgeridoo in metal songs, Kasey’s lackluster kiwi accent attempt (and possible future as an extra in Oliver Twist), the blues influence on “Wish You Hell”, the struggle that led to the song “Ordinary”, Noel and Liam Gallagher’s sibling rivalry and more.

Music

Dope – Now Or Never

Rev Theory – Light It Up

Dark New Day - Brother

Skillet – Rebirthing

Silverchair – One Way Mule

Drain STH – Enter My Mind

Like A Storm – Wish You Hell, Ordinary

PLUS: Kasey is beyond grateful that his show is being syndicated all over the world but because he’s the lone Canadian on many overseas stations he decides to clear up some common misconceptions “aboot” his home and native land of Canada for the international listeners. He’ll set the record straight on toques, wrestling polar bears, “free” Health Care, igloos, ice fishing and more. Meteorologist Miri chimes in with a winter weather report and Motel Ferguson loses power after a snow storm. Was it the storm? Was it the gunfire in Kasey’s dumpster fire of a building? Did the landlord just decide that poor folk don’t deserve NOT to freeze to death? Kasey weighs theories in an effort to explain “the night the heat went out in hell”. 

The Shortlist : Kasey has compiled a list of things he’d rather have than snow including, (but not limited to) : a game of Scrabble with Dog The Bounty Hunter, an Andy Griffith marathon, gout, a beard of bees, a prosthetic head, a collection of Ricky Martin cassettes, a salad and date night with Honey Boo Boo.

PLUS: Kasey regales you with the sordid and true tale of the mighty antechinus, the animal that fornicates itself to death, goes “full grandpa” to enlighten the young whippersnappers out there on “hanky panky” and develops a strange fixation on cake.

The Shortlist: Kasey has compiled a list of realistic New Year’s resolutions for himself that you too can accomplish, including (but not limited to): wear a hat, make inappropriate dinner conversation, sustain sexy pear shaped form, sigh wearily while others are talking, help someone more fortunate, laugh at something that’s not funny, belch anytime anyone says “Pilates”, maintain smug self satisfied demeanor and spend more time indoors.
