Fred the Dog

Cool, My Life, Pets 1 Comment »

freddog.jpgI love Fred. He came by the studio today, and he’s such a friendly, fun guy. He’s about a year old and will need someone willing to give him some obedience training. He looks pretty sad in the picture, but his tail is constantly wagging when he’s around people. You can see more about him and all sorts of nice pets at The Calgary Humane Society.

Against Me! were in town over the weekend for an exclusive X92.9 Show. I had a chat with Tom and Warren from the band, and started out by asking them if they’re getting worn out doing night after night of shows…

Things a Grown Man Should Never Have

Edumacation, Funny, My Life 1 Comment »
  • blackeye.jpgA black eye: Unless the rim hits your face mid-dunk, your eyes should remain unblemished.
  • A witty e-mail signature: Quotes and song lyrics should be heard during toasts and karaoke performances, respectively.
  • An empty refrigerator: Always aim to be ready to create an on-the-fly, three-course dinner for her.
  • PlayStation thumb: When they’re relaxing, grown men can behave like children. But if you devolve long enough to button-shaped bruises, you’re missing out on life.
  • A key chain with a bottle opener: This is both a reminder of your college days and proof that you don’t know how to apply leverage using available, impromptu bottle openers.
  • A lucky shirt: Every shirt is lucky when worn by a man who knows that the harder he works, the luckier he’ll be.
  • An unstamped passport.
  • Olympic dreams: Exceptions: curling and archery.
  • Less than $20 in his wallet: A real man should always carry around a business card and enough money to pick up coffee, bagels and the Sunday paper without whipping out the plastic.
  • Any beer that cost less than $20 a case: An no exception for the grand slam 30-pack that crosses that price threshold.
  • The need to quote The Big Lebowski/Caddyshack/Superbad: Reciting someone else’s lines reminds people that you haven’t the wit to write your own.
  • A futon: Such a meager, slouchy spread has never, in the history of sex, inspired a woman to say, “Take me to your futon.”
  • Code words for ugly women: Actually, code words for anything.
  • A Nerf hoop in his living room: Keep the adolescent accoutrements where they belong: in the rec room or above the wastebasket in someone else’s office.
  • A secret handshake.
  • Drinking glasses with logos: Especially those kitschy McDonalds Hamburglar ones.
  • A recent story with the phrase “So I said to the cop…”
  • Alanna Clarke

    All this week I was a judge for the annual Breakfast Television Spotlight on CityTV. It’s a talent contest for 6-16 year olds. The talent all week was pretty solid, but one performer really shone, and she ended up winning the contest. Alanna Clarke is a singer/songwriter from just outside of Cochrane, and I had her on the Rock Report for a chat and to play her song Bedroom Window.  Here’s the audio:

    Chaplin the Dog

    Pets No Comments »

    Meet Chaplin. He was by the station earlier today. He’s an older fellow (around 10) with a mellow disposition. Really likes to be with people and being petted. He’s a Bullmastiff mix…though slightly smaller in stature than a typical Bullmastiff. You can check him and all sorts of other great pets at The Calgary Humane Society.

    toilet.jpgI don’t spend a ton of time on my show talking about doing a sit-down, but for some reason it came up twice on this past week’s shows. Once was about trying the all-new $275,000 public toilet at 17th Ave and 7th:

    …and the other time was a debate with Greg Beharrell about having a coffee while doing my business:

    Coffee on the Can

    I’ve decided to make a poll about having a warm beverage whilst doing your business. It’s over there –>

    lynch.jpgLynch loves to talk about me and my show on his show, although has trouble distinguishing between busting balls and personal attacks. Here’s a good example:
