Gun Shots and 6ixPack

 Didn’t take long for my Kevin Kolb prediction to come true did it?  Donovan McNabb followed up last weeks putrid effort with another performance that could very well be labelled as career killing.  It's hard to see the Eagles pivot maintain his position as a starter after his terrible showing against the Ravens today.  Kevin Kolb... more>

Cool links from my evening show

Here's a couple of links that will make you laugh.

There's a restaurant in Japan that's hired monkeys as servers. It's pretty sweet. This isn't just a joke either. It's for real. The monkeys actually work there. It gives a whole new meaning to the term "a monkey could do your job!" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7654267.stm... more>

The Man, the Legend, Mr. Red Robinson.

This morning I'm talking to Mr. Red Robison, legendary broadcaster.

Mr. Robinson has had an amazing career, having done everything from being one of the first Canadian DJs to play rock n'roll to introducing the Beatles (John Lennon famously telling him to "*&%$! off") and Elvis.

The charismatic Mr. Robinson will talk about some of the amazing people he's had the pleasure of meeting and working with, his astounding career and how broadcasting is changing as an industry.

Thanks to Mr. Robinson for emparting his wisdom.

-Kristina.

I'm addicted...to the Gaslight Anthem. Brian Fallon reaffirms why.

My guest today is Brian Fallon, lead vocalist and guitarist of New Brunswick, New Jersey's the Gaslight Anthem.

Aka, my new favourite band.

On their sophmore release, the '59 Sound, Fallon's story telling is melancholic and heartfelt, his whiskey soaked vocals leading the listener on a journey fraught with passion, heartbreak and hope.... more>

Animal from the Muppets. YES IT IS.

Greetings friend, nice to see you again.  I have had a pretty sweet day, super fun class to start the day off, great guest speaker who really knows how to grab a hold of a crowd and tell a story.  Thanks alot for that Sue, well done.  I am going to start the night off with this particularly disturbing video of Josh Groban singing thirty years if TV Theme Songs.  The first thing I noticed was how great Animal from the muppets looked, especially for a muppet of his age.  The South park homage was of particular disturbance to me. ... more>
