Well, they’re back for a few days, anyhow. They’re going to be on Newstalk 1010 CFRB in Toronto tonight, thursday and Friday doing the 7 to 10 PM shift, which is generally the Ryan Doyle Show. They say they’ll be raising money for Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children while they’re there, which is pretty cool. …

More Ads That Make Us Think Too Much
It’s been a while since we’ve written one of these. But we thought we’d compiled enough commercials or slogans to do another one. We saw a commercial for something called “Juicy Juice immunity.” Juicy juice? It’s juice. Shouldn’t it be juicy? If not, it wouldn’t be…juice, would it? I know it’s a product for kids, …
My Access Recognition Awards Radio Ad
I gotta say woohoo, or maybe it’s wheay! You be the judge. We just got some server space from a pretty cool place called BlindFileSharing.com. I just uploaded a file there that just happens to be me doing a radio ad for those Access recognition awards I was talking about before. So if you want …
Anton’s On The Radio
Our friend Anton who was in that play I talked about before just told us about a radio interview he participated in. Poor anton, poor, poor, nervous Anton. I think he was making the radio DJ work for her money. But when he warmed up, he was pretty funny. So listen to Anton. And Hey …
Thank You Ernie
I was sad to hear the news a few days ago that Ernie Harwell, the radio voice of the Detroit Tigers for what seemed like forever,has inoperable cancer. Even though I didn’t grow up anywhere near Detroit and am by no means a Tigers fan, Harwell’s voice had a big impact on me. WJR came …
We Notice Too Many Ads
Here we go again with the comercials. I saw an ad for Iams dog food that said that the food would produce the seven signs of healthy vitality. Uh, what other kind of vitality is there? I’ve never heard of unhealthy vitality. I guess cancer could have healthy vitality that would be unhealthy for you, …
Here We Go with The Ads Again
Here we go again with more slogans that caught our attention. What a mishmash this is. Every timeI see commercials for denture grip, the stuff that holds dentures in place, it says “now with less ooze!” Ug! Doesn’t that sound wonderful? The idea of stuff oozing around my gums just makes me want to gag. …
They Are? Wow, You Had Me Worried There For A Second
I live in Canada. More often than not, when I’m listening to radio, it’s Canadian radio. And every now and then when I hear a commercial, I’ll hear the stupidest thing. The latest example is the ad for those Pizza Hut Pizza Mia deals, the ones that are only $6 each if you buy 3 …

Serving Our Community, One Voice Track At A Time
All the snow we’ve been getting and our building’s power transformer blowing up the other night got me thinking again about how much commercial radio sucks these days. That might sound strange, but hear me out. When something disruptive happens, something like…let’s say a snow storm or a power outage, what’s one of the first …

Happy Birthday Carin And A Bunch Of Other Crap
So how’s everybody? Are you enjoying this weather? If your answer is yes and you live anywhere near me, you’re an idiot, plain and simple. I don’t like winter at the best of times, but things are really getting out of hand this year. One thing I’ve noticed though is that there’s a definite lack …
