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

In a brazen attempt reminiscent of a medieval siege, Mexican smugglers tried to use a hefty catapult to hurl drugs north over the U.S. Border, authorities said.
The Mexican military seized 45 pounds of marijuana, a sports utility vehicle and a metal-framed catapult just south of the Arizona border near the small town of Naco last Friday, following a tip-off from the U.S. Border Patrol.
Surveillance video taken by National Guard troops deployed to support the Border Patrol caught a group of men apparently attempting to pull down a metal beam and load or test the catapult, which was powered by powerful elastic and mounted on a trailer close to the metal border fence.
“It looks like a medieval catapult that was used back in the day,” Tucson sector Border Patrol spokesman David Jimarez told Reuters.
Arizona straddles a furiously trafficked corridor for human and drug smugglers from Mexico.
The U.S. Border Patrol seize hundreds of tons of marijuana and other drugs each year, smuggled over or under the line using a variety of means, including trucks, clandestine tunnels, horseback and even micro-light aircraft — although the catapult was new, Jimarez said.
“I have not seen anything like that in my time before as a Border Patrol agent … although we are trained to handle any kind of a threat that comes over that border,” he added.

Ironically, a few weeks ago I agreed to be part of a documentary about being a morning radio show host.
Props to Jeremy, Alex and John from the Algonquin College TV program for following me around for a few days.
Sorry to dash any dreams anyone might have had for a follow up to his paper selling album “The Return of Bruno”, no Bruce Willis hooks up with The Gorillaz in the video for the awesome new track, “Stylo”. Great driving song! Check it out:
