Pissy Drizzle

31 Aug

 

It’s a little known fact that I have a Hip Hop alter ego by the name of Pissy Drizzle, big thanks to Floyd for knighting me with that handle. All Pissy wants to do is get his songs on the radio! So we tried next door at our friends over at Z103 Halifax.

 

The Day That Was On The Morning Mob – Aug 22nd

22 Aug

 

Among some of the topics discussed today, what I can and cannot do if LIVE 105 hits 10 000 likes on facebook & Floyd makes an interesting discovery about the offspring of one of pro wrestling’s biggest  stars!

Promo Jenn visited us again this week to let us have a sneak peek into her “interesting” life. Last week, Jenn told us all about how much she loved the Smurfs movie, this week, we found out that she is a huge fan of Big Brother…

 

Open Phones

11 Aug

 

It’s been one friggin’ weird summer, or should I say, Spring.. errr… Fall…. errr…. It’s been one hell of a June, July & August here in Halifax. Stupid rain, mixed with stupid power outages. The latter directly affected the Morning Mob today. The power went out at the station and our operating system crapped the bed. The only things working were our mic’s & our phones. So we let Halifax fill up our air time.

 

 

 

Bobby Orr! BEAUTY!!!

29 Jul

This morning on the Mob, legendary NHL Hall of Famer Bobby Orr visited the station and I couldn’t let him leave without getting his thoughts on my Don Cherry impression…

The things you do to try and please people….

27 Jul

Floyd & I like to goof around on the LIVE 105 Morning Mob, but sometimes, it can be a little difficult here at Camp Happy Fun Land. Here’s an example of the lengths that I will go to to ensure my co-host’s happiness.

 

 

What’s the Aussie term for pie in the face?

20 Jul

So you’re a young disenfranchised British lad, you find yourself drawn to the drama that is the Rupert Murdoch / News of the World / Phone tapping scenario. You decide to check out the proceedings held by British  government types.  What do you bring to pass the time? Crossword puzzle? A copy of  Eat, Pray, Love? Maybe the new jam from Pitbull? Nope. You bring a shaving cream pie. Regardless of what actually happens to the Murdoch empire, this story will change journalism forever. Or at the very least, show the world that Mrs. Murdoch don’t play.

Any Rambo fans out there?

11 Jul

 

A chunk of cult movie history is being dismantled in Hope, BC. The bridge from the first Rambo movie, First Blood, has bitten the dust. This morning on the Mob, Floyd & I were lucky enough to have Sylvester Stallone on to talk about what this news meant to him.

 

Stupidest thing on the internets this week..

15 Jun

May was a friggin’ washout weather wise here in Halifax. So far June’s been, in a word, meh. Hopefully summer decides to make an appearance sometime soon, because that’s the BEST time of year to be cooking! Steak, ribs, chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs. But what if you’re bored with the typical, run of the mill hot dogs? Then you need Happy Hot Dog Man! I’m seriously, this shit actually exists. I’d buy one, but I only have room for a slapchop, a shamwow and a ronco chicken rotisserie cooker in my cupboard…

 

When sports writers try to be funny…

6 Jun

 

 

I have a few friends in the print media, lots of them are genuinely funny, but they sprinkle in little shards of funny while writing their columns. It works in short doses, especially when it adds something to the story. This on the other hand? This could be the worst sports column I’ve ever read. Outside of Keith Olbermann, Dan Patrick, Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole, sports figures, especially columnists should stick to sports, not comedy. I agree that Bettman is a jerk, but this column is filled with so many terrible punchlines and bad jokes that you kind of almost forget the Bettman parts. We get it, you’ve just discovered pop culture references. Well done…

Morning Mob Movie Debate: The Hangover Part II

3 Jun

Floyd & I have different opinions on The Hangover Part II….

Aaaah Spring…..

3 Jun

It’s usually the time of year when men’s thoughts turn to those of fancy. But did you know that older women now make up a HUGE part of the dating scene these days? According to Time magazine, Scientists think they have an explanation for the “Cougar” phenomenon. According to University of Texas researchers, women’s ticking “biological clock” may impact their sexual behavior just as menopause approaches. They believe older women have increased urges to mate before it’s impossible to have children — which makes them think about sex more often. In fact, women 27 to 45 reported having more sexual fantasies than younger women — and had more sex than those in the 18-26 group. The women in their 30s and 40s were also more inclined to have casual sex that those in their 20s.

But what if it ISN’T just about casual sex, what if women are looking for more than that? May I suggest this site? It’s called www.mailorderhusbands.net. Tired of finding love at 3am right after last call? Try mailorderhusbands.net. Need someone to “scratch that itch” or, someone to run out to buy another carton of menthols at Midnight on a Tuesday? Try mailorderhusbands.net.  Maybe you can find love with Daryl from Wooster Falls, ILL, U.S.A. who writes:  My name is Daryl. I am 17, but will be turning 18 in September. I figure by the time we get to know each other I will be legal tender and we can marry. My parents are kicking me out after December and I’d like to meet a woman with a lot of money so we can have fun. I like women between 18-45, but would consider older if we don’t have to touch a lot.  Who can argue when Daryl looks like this:

Thoughts on a few things, Charlie Sheen & NHL draft day

1 Mar

What an interesting couple of days in the world of televised folly. First up, Charlie Sheen doing some “damage control”. His former publicist didn’t think it was such a great idea, so he quit. A few hours later, Charlie fired him. Not sure if Charlie remembers how that sorta thing tends to work. You either quit, or you’re fired. Never the two shall meet. Then again, if he didn’t follow through on his damage control tour, 2011, we wouldn’t have learned awesome new saying like, “I’m tired of pretending that I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars.”

Or, how one of Charlie’s dates ended with his being attacked by a woman with a cocktail fork. Just like in Seinfeld!

I’m starting to believe that Charlie Sheen could be Superman. ‘Cause he sure as hell ain’t from planet Earth right now.

And another thing….

Thank you to the NHL for boring the living shit out of me yesterday. It was the NHL trade deadline day yesterday, which outside of draft day, is my favorite of all the specialty sports days, right after Christmas. I look forward to it every year, get home, get the chips, the dip, the ice cold bevvies, some adult ones, but only after 11am. I don’t people thinking that I have a problem (See Charlie Sheen post above). I’m a big TSN coverage guy. Mostly because I tuned into Sportsnet and I saw Denis Potvin on their panel. Denis Potvin is an arse. I hate that they replaced Garry Galley on the Sens broadcasts with this guy. Last game, he couldn’t tell the difference between the colours black and blue and kept referring to the Sens as the Panthers. Which would be ok I guess, if the Panthers weren’t the team the Sens were playing against that night, but I digress. You want the real reason why I don’t like him? Denis Potvin snubbed me when I asked to take a picture with him at an Ottawa Renegades game.  F**k Denis Potvin. So I stick with TSN and while the trades weren’t there, the magic of Jay Onrait was. Best thing about TSN’s trade day coverage? Onrait’s crotch shot. Look it up. I think Bell was afraid of loading up that clip. The streets of Toronto would be flooded. Safety first Bell. Anyhoo, I’ll admit it, I have a man crush on Jay Onrait. Dude can rock some Bon Jovi:

Foo Fightin’!

24 Feb

 

Foo Fighters are getting set to release one of the most anticipated rock albums of 2011, Wasting Light drops April 12th. LIVE 105 was the first station in Halifax to play the 1st single, Rope. It’s a sh*tkicker of a choon. The Foo’s just so happen to be the band that we want to send YOU to see on Live Adventure #2!! Here’s what you need to know, starting this Monday morning, listen to the Morning Mob with Floyd & I, 5:30am to 10am. Listen for the Foo to call. We’ll give you two chances to qualify as you get up and get ready for the day. Here’s the coolest thing about it, WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING TO SEE THEM!!! True story! You could win airfare, hotel accommodation and two tickets to the first stop on the Foo Fighters canadian tour!It could be Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Calgary but I’m sorry, they will NOT be making a stop in Truro, or Moncton either, so Moncton, you can suck it.

 

Oh! Dave Grohl says there’s not a single ballad to be found on Wasting Light, damn skippy!

 

Live Adventure #2, this Monday with the Morning Mob, learn it, know it, live it.

 

Here’s some new Foos from the Shockwave NME awards in the UK recently:

 

 

 

 

 

Snow day?? Movie marathon!!!

2 Feb

Floyd and I love watching movies on snow days. Just not together, she’s a bit off with her movie likes and dislikes. Can you believe she doesn’t like the Hangover? She be trippin’! I love watching the Star Wars trilogy, not the last three movies that George Lucas rammed down our throats, I’m talking A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi baby! Anyhoo, this morning on the Mob, we had some Star Wars fun with Masterbleep Theatre:
