Since we moved into 5527 Cogswell St. there have been stories of not one but TWO spirits residing within the halls. I felt a strange presence this morning while putting a large bag of cheese curds in the fridge upstairs @ the Hive. You might be asking, what the hell are you doing with a big bag of cheese curds at work? Never mind that, it’s not important right now.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, I had to make a fudgie at work today and someone or someTHING shut off the lights. Drastic times call for drastic measures..
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.
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…
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
I used to love going to the ballpark as a kid. I was a HUGE Gary Carter fan. Loved the Expos, I spent my 18th birthday at Olympic stadium with my Uncle Mitch watching the Mets, then watching a Mets fan gets pwned by Expos fans when he said “we americans own you canadians”. Lesson learned? Only say that when you’re at a Habs game. Just makes better sense. I know some Canadian ball fans will jump up and say Blue Jays!!! To them I say WHAT? Like I could ever cheer for any sports team from the GTA.
But like a lot of ‘spos fans, my heart was broken by Major League Baseball in 1994 when they pulled the plug on the season, with the Expos having the best record in all of baseball. Once that was done, I checked out. You’d think that a guy named Cub would follow the Cubs. You’d be wrong. To me, it was all about Tim Raines, Andre Dawson, Warren Cromartie, Steve Rogers, the Spaceman Bill Lee, Delino Desheilds, Dennis Martinez and for one season in 1984, Charlie Hustle himself, Pete Rose, who recorded his his 4,000th hit at Olympic Stadium. The only other pro to hit 4000? Ty Cobb, who was one miserable SOB and quite the douchebag. I miss Youppie (I know he’s with the Habs now, but it’s not the same) & I miss steamed hot dogs from Olympique Stadium. I even miss the strange music they used to play in the stands, like frenchified versions of motown hits. Now days, this is considered entertaining. At least he didn’t fall on his head while trying to catch a ball… Too soon?
Before we do anything else, I just want to point out that I LOVE Adele’s music. Like I said this morning on the LIVE 105 Morning Mob, I got all hipster & said I liked Adele before EVERYONE started playing her stuff on the radio. Truth is, most Canadian radio stations were late to the Adele party. Just like they missed the boat on Amy Winehouse.
Yes, Winehouse is a trainwreck, but so is Keith Richards. Besides, Back to Black was an AMAZING album. CHR, AC radio, how the HELL do you miss out on this stuff continuously? I shake my head sometimes…
They say that imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery. The Beatles covered old Chuck Berry & Little Richards songs, The Stones did Robert Johnson, Buddy Holly and Muddy Waters. But this “Rolling in the Deep” cover shit it too much. It seems anybody with a webcam tosses up their “spin” on the song. Lately though, this has been getting all the attention:
Then, all hell breaks loose, this morning, Floyd & I got our hands on THIS cover…
This morning, Floyd & I spoke with Josh White, Operations Manager for Halifax Pop Explosion and we learned that Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon et al need YOUR help!!
We finally get a blast of summer this past week here in Halifax, starting to see what people were talking about when, in the middle of January would say, just wait til summer. DAMN!! Now this is more of what I’m talking ’bout! Had an awesome time exploring the Valley this weekend, walked along the sea floor in the Bay of Fundy in Blomidon Provincial Park:
Bought some fudge at Hennigar’s Farm Market and fulfilled a lifelong dream of being photgraphed inside a giant cob of corn:
I also had a wee pint and some lunch in Wolfville:
(That isn’t me by the way, that was Baywatch’s David Hasslehoff)
It’s the time of year to relax a little, waste some time and kill a few braincells. It’s also a time to kill a few braincells. Where was I going with this? Oh yeah, summer timewaster movie of the week, One Crazy Summer with John Cusak Demi Moore & the man that tried to set the Tonight Show on fire, Bobcat Goldthwait.
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…
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…

HOCKEY is back brothers and sisters!! You know you’re a fan if you actually sat down to watch Thursdays NHL kickoff in Finland between Carolina and Minnesota. I always love this time of year, mostly because Leaf fans are so cute when they try to tell you how this year is the year for them. [...]
We are less than 48 hours away from the kickoff to one of the best music festivals in North America, Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest!! Tent city at Lebreton Flats went up earlier this week, the final touches are being made on all the stages, it is TIME! Bluesfest has opened with some pretty big names like [...]
If so, I don’t think this man should be asked to provide the narration. But I can see why Robert Munsch was sooooo animated while reading! Robert Munsch See what I mean?
Who knew that I would have so much free time on my hands? I’ve settled in nicely into my role as house husband. Light ironing chores, running errands, allowing my wife the opportunity to NOT use OC Transpo: My favorite role as house husband would be cooking. Not fancy tea parties and crap like that, [...]
I grew up as a fan of les Glorieux in my hometown of Aylmer, Quebec. To be honest, I didn’t know a single person who cheered for anybody else. I refuse to acknowledge certain members of my family who may or may not cheer for a random group of clowns called the Maple Leafs: I’ll [...]
