Audio Lowlights of the June 28 Show

You know how sometimes you sing the wrong lyrics for a song you've known for years? Patrick had one that Leo found pretty amusing.
Listen to: Apackalized

First thing in the morning: coffee, but it isn't always that simple. Patrick's got a story about tea, and Leo's coffee wasn't quite right today, luckily a mystery caller phoned in with a tip.
Listen to: Coffee and add some cream

Some people say "a mind is a terrible thing to waste". Those people are right. You never know when we might break into song right in the middle of a conversation.
Listen to: He's got a new blog

Lissa Vescio gives us the entertainment lowdown every week, and we have fun trying to derail her!

Saturday "news and stuff" time:
Listen to: The News With Patrick H Charles - June 28th

We were looking for a word that rhymes with Canada, but we couldn't find one, so instead we did a song about Quebec's least fun summer activity, moving.
Listen to: Moving out!

Don't you have helping people move? We had a couple of funny fridge stories to recount. Luckily, no one was killed.
Listen to: We're not moving

This weekend's winning word was "Beaver". No, seriously.

Brubeck


This is Patrick's cat Brubeck. As you can see, he's very good at relaxing, chilling out, just laying there, not being of any real use to anyone, and only thinking of himself. The cat takes after him.

Some disgusting stuff we've eaten




OK, so by now you've probably heard "are they gonna eat that?". Here's the stuff that was actually (kinda) consumed on the air. All REAL dollar store items.

1. Neilson flavored drink crystals

2. "Hit Minis" cookies

3. Snails in water - the worst thing ever.

Audio Lowlights of the June 21st show

Summer is finally here! Rain is in the forecast for the next 5 days and that prompted us to play this classic from the Willy Nilly archives: Friggin' Wet Wet Wet…song


This morning we started off the show talking about coffee and the latest Tim Hortons controversy. A woman with a learning disability who won a GPS unit in the Roll Up the Rim to win contest was denied her prize twice because she couldn't figure out the skill testing question. I asked Patrick the question and he nailed it. Sorry no parting prize.


Kid Rock recently posted a video encouraging kids to steal!

It's a la Fete Nationale on Tuesday so we asked Lissa V to help us understand Quebec joual. Listen to: C'est Joual Man!


On that same note, the Weekend Winning Word was sung in French since the word had to do with La Fete. Listen to: Le Mot Gagnant

It was another hilarious Patrick H Charles newscast:Listen to: News with Patrick H. Charles - June 21st, 2008


In this weeks' : Are They Gonna Eat That? feature, where the boys sample Dollar Store food, Leo brought in "Vienna Sausages in a Can" Listen to: Are They Gonna Eat That - Vienna Sausages!

Mike found and sent this review of "Vienna Sausages" from http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/:

"
Vienna sausages never made a good first impression with me. They were limp, soft, and devoid of any flavor except for perhaps urine and pig intestines. Looking like flaccid hot dogs didn’t help their case either. The fact that they even call it a Vienna sausage is obscene. It’s like inventing a “Luxembourg Sandwich” and making it with bologna and chicken gravy. Granted, that sounds absolutely delicious, but it doesn’t make it accurate.Vienna sausages are life’s “yuck” waiting in the cabinet when you’re hung over and depressed; heart welling with anguish after a long night of binge drinking because you’re wondering why Gordon Ramsey has to be so darn mean on Hell’s Kitchen. All you have left after that are these crimes against nature, which are mysteriously cheaper than cat food and come in disturbingly similar packaging. I’m not one to turn down a good can of Fancy Feast, but it’s not exactly something I’m proud of"
