Now that he's had two mornings under his belt as co-host of the new EZ Mornings with Humble, Kim and Colleen show on 97.3 EZ Rock, I pummelled Humble with a few questions. As always, he was happy to comply and he even got me sniffing with his final
It's only August 12 but we in Raging Storm have already completed our regular season in the RSPA Slo-Pitch Comp Division. We played 20 games and finished 9-11. Considering this is our first year in the highest division, that's not bad. It's not great, but it could have been worse.
Today I exchanged messages with Mike Holland who now goes by his real name, Michael Bouyea. He's responsible for one of my favourite Blue Jays songs, "We Got The Blue Jays". You can hear the R.B.I. Single Version here. Thanks Mike for uploading my song "We Got The
My son has lost both top front teeth over the past week. Please mind the gap. And yes, it's too late for the poor boy, I've successfully brain washed him into rooting blindly for the blue and white. I've warned him this will be our worst team yet and he
I'm submitting a song for SLS20 consideration. I'm submitting "Given Up" by Linkin Park. You're entitled to hate Linkin Park. Really, it's okay. It's an easy band to hate on and there's no way digging a band this mainstream is cool. And being cool is very, very important. As I
Boy, am I ever glad we cut Reed Johnson. That Reeder was no Shannon Stewart. All Reeder did was play awesome defense, hit for average and play his heart out. If you haven't heard, the Blue Jays just released Shannon Stewart. Stewart hit .240 with one homer and 14 RBIs
The big local news is the propane gas plant explosion at Keele and Wilson. Sunrise Propane, located just south of Downsview, sent massive fireballs into the sky just before dawn. At least one firefighter was killed fighting the blaze and thousands have been evacuated from their homes. As Torontonians already
Isaac Hayes was 65. He was the pioneering singer, songwriter and musician whose relentless "Theme From Shaft" won Academy and Grammy awards.
I once took A Closer Look at the Edge 102 Playlist and with the big news from Humble Howard, I thought I'd take a closer look at the EZ Rock 97.3 playlist. I'll be checking out Humble's new show, but like many of you who loved him on 102.
Like a Rickroll... only Presidential.
I'm spending the weekend representing at the RSPA Slo-Pitch Tournament. We entered Raging Storm in this thing and played a few games yesterday with the playoffs starting in about an hour. The rain started during game one, came down a little harder during game 2 and by game 3 it
Bernie Mac was 50. He was the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show."
It personally delights me to tell you Humble Howard Glassman has returned to morning radio in Toronto, hosting a show on EZ Rock 97.3. Humble will be joined by Colleen Rusholme and Kim Stockwood and his first day back on the air will be August 11. Before I became
Chad wrote me with a good idea. He thinks the Toronto Police should give the 2500 unclaimed backs back to Torontonians. Specifically, to the less fortunate. Here's his plan in his words: Mike,I've been trying to work through an idea in my head for a while ... getting bikes into
This BBC article about 80 things that make men cry got me thinking about what makes me cry. I rarely cry, and it's been a while since I've shed a tear, but there are a few movies that never fail to do the trick and a few other circumstances that

As the Olympic Games draw closer, I find myself getting more and more upset. Back in March I shared my conflicted feelings. I love the Olympics and I enjoy posting about every medal Canada wins, but I hate to give that kind of attention to this event in China at
I got a message from a reader named Brian earlier today. Here's what Brian had to say. hey mike, i wanted to ask you about this song a month ago, but i had to see if i would still like it. culture reject - "inside the cinema" has really grown
The Star couldn't report what evidence was presented in court today, but they could update us on Igor Kenk's makeover. Igor Kenk, you may recall, stole my bike (maybe), and now I want him hanged. I hated him when he was a scruffy ragamuffin and now that he's a swarmy
We've all read the gory details about Tim McLean's senseless death on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba July 30. Vince Weiguang Li, who immigrated to Canada from China in 2004, apparently beheaded and cannibalized Tim McLean. In court yesterday, Li had one, simple request that will not be fulfilled. "Please,
I'm featuring 1988 Topps Cards featuring members of my beloved Blue Jays that are featured on this blog. I've told this story before, but I'm going to share it again. As kids, my brothers and I "owned" Blue Jays. We each had a primary player and a secondary player. When

I was listening to a little 102.1 this morning. I know the morning show there is brutal, but for some reason I like hearing Linkin Park's "Given Up" every morning on my way into the office. Judge not lest thee be judged. So I'm listening to the tunes when
In February 2006, I caught a new spot for Bell featuring a couple of anthropomorphic beavers. I took note and wrote this entry because one of the beavers was voiced by Norm Macdonald, a dude who consistently makes me laugh and deserves a great deal better. I figured the beavers
