Former MuchMusic VJ Steve Anthony is now a host on CP24. This past weekend, while promoting the monster truck show at the dome, he decided to drop-kick a monster truck tire live on the air. Here's the footage: If Steve looked like he was in some pain, that's because he
My beloved son is turning 12 today. It seems like only yesterday I rushed down to Women's College Hospital and scrubbed in for the magic moment. At 12-years old I can honestly say my son is both smarter and sweeter than me. And by his next birthday, I'm almost certain
Two seconds into last night's Canucks~Flames game, a line brawl resulted in a penalty summary that looked like this: 00:02 CGY Ladislav Smid Fighting (maj) - 5 min against Kevin Bieksa 00:02 VAN Kevin Bieksa Fighting (maj) - 5 min against Ladislav Smid 00:02 CGY Brian
The team you grew up rooting for is almost always the team you love as an adult. I grew up primarily rooting for our home teams, and no matter where I end up in this world, I know I'll always be a fan of Toronto's teams. I recently found a
Here's an ad for L'Oreal featuring Diane Keaton. It aired during the Golden Globes on Sunday night. During that same Golden Globes telecast, we saw Diane Keaton present an award to Woody Allen. Here's how Diane looked Sunday night. I'll take the latter Diane Keaton, the real one who is

I snapped this picture today at Cliff Lumsden Park during a great bike ride on a chilly December afternoon in Toronto. Cliff Lumsden Park offers one of the greatest views of Toronto's skyline. View Larger Map
In the recent entry about Todd Shapiro getting his own show on SiriusXM satellite radio, Speysidephil asked who subscribes to SiriusXM. I personally don't subscribe, but I'm told there are 1.7 million subscribers in Canada. I have two questions for the hivemind... Do you subscribe to SiriusXM? If you
Since Todd Shapiro was fired from the Dean Blundell Show on 102.1 the Edge back in July, many have wondered where he'd end up. The answer, it seems, is SiriusXM satellite radio. Todd Shapiro will host The Todd Shapiro Show on channel 168 Canada Laughs. This is the same

After test driving the LG G2 for a few months, I've finally gone all-in. My old Samsung Galaxy phone will be retired to camera / wi-fi use only, and the LG G2 will be my primary device. I love this phone. In addition to the apps that come with Android, I
Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza were spotted walking to Monk's Restaurant for coffee earlier today. Ok, it was actually Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander, and they were going to Tom's Restaurant for coffee, but it's practically the same thing. The smart money is on the two filming an episode of
My wife will be 27 weeks pregnant on Wednesday. That's got us thinking about all the stuff we'll need for our newborn son. It's been a decade since I went through this with my daughter, and we still had most of the baby stuff from her older brother, who was
The Golden Globes were on last night. After Peyton Manning's Broncos secured their win I flipped over during commercials and intermissions of the Leafs game. I found most of the Golden Globes telecast I saw pretty boring. Here's a screencap making the rounds of a Golden Globe "Fun Fact" aired
I still remember the first time I heard something was "the shit". The "the" in "the shit" is vitally important, for without it, the statement means the exact opposite. When something or someone is "the shit", it means they're the best, but when they're just "shit", it means they're... well.

After 60 episodes, Toronto Mike'd, my little podcast, reached #14 on iTunes' Top Podcasts in the comedy category. I was so pleased, I took a screencap for posterity, because it may never rank that high again. Episode 60, only released yesterday, is already my most downloaded podcast yet. If you
I realize I'm a little late to this party, but I finally dove into Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee by Jerry Seinfeld. It's very funny. Almost all episodes run less than 20 minutes each so you can bang off a season fairly quickly. Guests include such funny people as Larry
When the Dean Blundell Show was suspended by Corus last month, I listed five possible outcomes. Number two on that list, after keeping Dean Blundell, was handing Fearless Fred the keys without missing a beat. With Fearless Fred taking over mornings on 102.1 starting Monday, it seems we're one
