The running of the beavers

We start off with some talk about the running of the bulls, and Aaron wonders why we don’t have something like this in Québec. Maybe beavers?

An interesting song request today. A guy all the way from Greece sent an email asking for a song for his girlfriend who’s never heard of him. You had to be there.

Hey a pirate called! He’s refusing to get a hands-free since his parrot keeps pecking at his blue tooth. Makes perfect sense.

Top 4 signs Madonna has stolen your husband!

Bunga from the Jungle gives us a call to let us know that he’s on his way to Montréal for the “Just for Laughs” fest. He’s got some good jokes too!

Kids yes/no Jessica does beautifully! Possibly our youngest winner EVER

Email joke time:
A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after-work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy, middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him.

The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her.
Before she could offer her apologies for staring so rudely, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $100.00...on one condition."

Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words."
She takes out five twenty’s, and says to the guy; “clean my house”

Winnie has made vacation plans for the guys, but Tasso’s seem a lot more detailed for some reason.

Bunga calls back with yet another project, the dude is talented.

Winnie calls back as well, kind of with more info for Aaron.

That’s it for us for 3 weeks. See you the first week of August!

Wanted!

Pictured above: missing bird Kiwi. If you see him, give us a call at the station. 514.790.0925

More news on cell phones: Rogers is scaling back their iphone plan, which is cool, but we still don’t know what's gonna happen with the text messaging thing. We do know that Tasso is moving to the states to get himself an iphone, a better rate plan, and some scotch.

We play a request for Natalie from the Greg Kihn band; “Jeopardy” good song!

Our first drum intro of the day and everybody gets it! (Even Tasso)

You know we’re now allowed to have yellow margarine in Québec right? Well guess what; there’s even a song about it! “Yellow margarine”

Aaron apologized for everybody losing it yesterday while talking about that poor lost bird in Lachine (Kiwi) we replayed what happened, and also spoke to the owner. She didn’t mind the laughing by the way

We did another comparison of “shake it” from Metro Station and “lovers in a dangerous time” from Bruce Cockburn. Leo the musicologist came in to talk about it.
Email joke from Frank today; a man asked his wife, “What do you love most about me; my tremendous athletic ability or my superior intellect? “What I love most about you,” responded the wife “is your enormous sense of humor.”
Another drum intro, and another easy win “50 ways to leave your lover”
Hey we’re done! One more to go…

"Butta"

“I can’t believe it’s so stupid”

We start off with the old butter/margarine debate, to color or not to color? It’s back in the news.

Aaron kind of plays a request for someone in Zaire, an Akon song that uses a sample of the song she actually asked for. Does that make any sense? Perfect.

Now we’re talking “Mamma Mia”, Aaron is playing us some stuff from the soundtrack. It’s not bad; would you have thought Meryl Streep could sing??? Pierce Brosnan, not so much.

Top 4 new cell phone charges – when will it end?!

Champlain

Drum intro and AGAIN Suzanne knows it right away!

Winnie has some tips on customs for when he goes to his lunch with the “Japanese Counsel guy”

OK, there’s a lost lovebird in Lachine. His name is Kiwi. This is very serious. I mean it. Call us if you see him. We apologize for any laughing that may have somehow gotten on the air.

Well it was certainly a silly day...

Suzanne is back!

We all welcome Suzanne to the studio after her vacation, she’s tanned and lovely!

“Don’t pay”

We’re talking about text messages and gas, both which are getting more and more expensive.

A pretty cool letter from a guy in the States, he asked for “Sunny” and we ACTUALLY PLAYED IT.

Aaron loves to watch that Bachelorette, man, what an embarrassment. At least we got a call from a woman who seemed to enjoy the show. She didn’t want to say what her name is though, I can’t imagine why.

Email joke time, thanks Steven!

Did you hear “Bleeding Gums” yesterday? Lissa did a great job and we play it again for everyone brushing right now…

Top 4 things found in Bill Gates desk. What a dork.

We get a winner for our drum intro song “I’ll take you there” and then we played “let’s talk about sex” which uses a sample from it.

“Gringo Starr”

Celine Dion isn’t too happy about the size of the venue she’s playing in Quebec City, and she calls to let us know.

Aaron brought up the spoon story, and “a certain someone” called to let him know he wasn’t getting them back. Creepy.

Sonia sends us our email joke:
A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender, "Hey! Wanna hear a blonde joke?" The bar immediately becomes absolutely quiet. In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something. The bartender is blond, the bouncer is blond, and I'm a 6' tall, 200 pound blond with a black belt in karate. What's more, the guy sitting next to me is 6'2," weighs 225 pounds, and he's a blond weight lifter." He continues, "The fella to your right is blond, 6'5" and pushing 300
pounds, and he's a wrestler. Think about it seriously, Mister. You still wanna tell that joke?" The blind guy says, "Nah! Not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.

Now we’re playing those Bachelorette clips, Aaron can’t get enough of this stuff. Suzanne thinks he should maybe be on next season.

Winnie is now staying at Tasso’s! It’s going much better. In a way.

"Anybody here from out of town?"

A little tennis talk to start the day. Have you watched? Aaron rarely does, but yesterday he enjoyed the emotion of an incredible match. Tasso thinks john McEnroe needs Paxil (don’t ask)

Another listener request, this one’s actually for Coldplay tickets. So Aaron plays Jimmy Buffet. What's not to get?

“Anybody here from out of town?”

AML has a Historical Cruise this year, and Aaron suggested that maybe a “hysterical cruise” might have been more fun. “

Tammy Moyer had her baby last nigh, a month early. Everybody’s doing fine. Congrats!

Top 4 time: George Bush “positive things” he’s done in office (I know what you’re thinking; “there’s 4!”)

Another “cell phone criminal” calls in to tell us he’s a juggler who refuses to get a hands-free. Wouldn’t that make juggling easier?

Our buddy Bunga calls! I don’t know how this came about, but somehow he’s planning on taking a Canadian citizenship test. He really knows his stuff though.

Email joke time, thanks Phillip!
A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for several years.
One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him that she was pregnant.
Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child. If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.
She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.
To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write "Spaghetti" on the back. He would then arrange for child support payments to begin.
One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.
"Honey," she said, "you received a very strange post card today."
"Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it” he said. The wife obeyed, and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.
On the card was written: "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with meatballs, one without." Send extra sauce.
Aaron has no teaspoons in his house. Isn’t that odd? He’s got butterknives, chopsticks, you name it. Maybe somebody stole them??? Uh oh. Just got a call from a woman who he used to live with. She took his spoons. So did Winnie.
We played our new version of Leona Lewis’ “bleeding love” it’s called “bleeding gums” thanks Lissa V!
A trivia question for you. What’s the significance of this Katy Perry song; “I kissed a girl”?
It’s the 1000th #1 single in Billboard history.

Bye Tammy!

Tammy Moyer had her baby boy last night and everyone is doing fine. She'll now be off on Maternity leave.

The talk goes back to yesterday’s grapefruit discussion and whether or not they're bad for you. Tasso doesn’t care if they are – he likes ‘em!

Aaron plays a request for a song called “Amour”, AND he sings it, much to Tasso’s chagrin.

Top 4 things you DON’T wanna hear at a family picnic – creepy!

TWO “this day in history!”

Another cell phone criminal called, this guys a dentist who refuses to get a hands free, but he ducks to keep the cops from seeing him.

Another drum intro, tough I think, we’ll see who gets it.

Email joke time for a Friday, and it comes to us from Sandra:
A couple had been married for 35 years, and the pair was also celebrating their 60th birthdays. During the celebration, a fairy godmother appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them each one wish.
The wife said she wanted to travel around the world. The fairy godmother waved her magic wand and BOOM! The wife had the tickets in her hand.
Then it was the husband’s turn. He paused for a moment, then said boldly, “Well, I’d like to have a wife 30 years younger than I.” The fairy godmother picked up her wand and BOOM! He was now 90.
Well guess who called; Aretha Franklin! She was thrilled that Tasso requested one of her songs and Aaron played “Spanish Harlem” what a great lady. Unfortunately she had a bit of a cold so she couldn’t sing for us on the phone.

We all say bye to Tammy, she’s off on Mat Leave as of today.

Have a great weekend!

"Any birds or plants?"

Some jazz fest talk to start, Aretha tonight, Steely Dan last night was fantastic!

“Kung Fu Choirboys”

Aaron tells about a church that was robbed yesterday, and that inspires Tasso to come up with a movie idea.

Tasso doesn’t want Aaron to sing, ever. So he was happy that he didn’t sing along to Uncle Kracker and “follow me”

Are your kids looking for a summer job? Aaron tells about a website designed to help: www.myfirstpaycheck.com

Joke time!

Did you know you’re not supposed to talk on your phone anymore as you're driving? It’s the law now. “Andy” called from his car and said there’s no way the cops are gonna stop him from doing it since he needs his phone for work. He’s a librarian.

Drum intro time and it’s guessed by Maria in no time – Debbie Boone’s “you light up my life” ugh.

“Cindy Crawford” calls for Aaron. She had a “really great” time, on their “date” yeah, right.

Email joke time, from Helene:
A good family is most concerned that their 30 year old son is unmarried. So, they call a marriage broker and ask him to find their son a good wife.

The broker comes over to their house and spends a long time asking questions of the son and his parents as to what they want in a wife/daughter-in-law. They give him a long shopping list of requirements.
The marriage broker takes a long time looking and finally asks to visit the family again. He then tells them of a wonderful woman he has found.
He says she's just the right age for the son... she keeps a clean home...she regularly attends church...
she is a wonderful cook...she loves children and wants a large family. And, to crown it all off, she's gorgeous.

After hearing all this, the family is very impressed and begins to get excited about the prospects of a wedding in the near future.

But the son pauses and asks: "Is she also good in bed?"

The marriage broker answers, "some say yes...some say no."
Uh oh, coffee Steven Kaffa’s on the phone; he’s a little wound up about this Starbucks story. 600 stores!
We play back the “tape” from the arrival of Samuel de Champlain in Québec. Who knew they had tape back then?
