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"
