Why did you stop your podcast.

The 12 of us that listened loved it

Plus, I’m still game to buy that property in Florida

I fully admit to being something of a Grinch on this, but I can’t be the only one who feels this way.
 
Why, in God’s name, does every anchor person and weather forecaster on every TV channel at this time of year keep hoping for a white Christmas or expressing their sadness that there won't be one? I know, it’s the traditional Xmas theme for many, but honestly – you’re really hoping for terrible, freezing cold weather?
 
The excuse for this is that it supposedly makes everything look pretty.
 
Yet snow clogs up roads, causes sometimes fatal accidents, leads to heart attacks from shoveling, broken bones from slipping and falling, destroys clothes and shoes, makes people late for dinner and costs taxpayers a fortune to clean it all up. So yeah, it’s pretty - pretty ugly.
 
Imagine if I said I was dreaming of a Christmas hurricane, because it makes the sky look green and red.
 
Fortunately, it looks like we won’t be getting that white blight this year. But please weather people – stop wishing for a huge storm that will do nothing but cause carnage. And if I only had a time machine, I’d go back and stop Irving Berlin from ever writing that terrible tune.
 
Fortunately, this will all be over by next week. That’s what I’m dreaming of!

Merry Christmas

On-air, Jim Richards publicly endorsed Giorgio Mammolitti in the last Toronto election. Let that be a barometer of his judgement.

At least he’s got a sense of humour and some personality

Plus he’s got a long long histroy with Giorgio. Those encounters have been radio gold

Ridiculous. Dave is top notch, dependable and experienced. So, of course, Bell Media tosses him.

Warner checks a diversity box so he’s not going anywhere

I would say the Amazon dog commercial was the best one

Also, if it turns out U2 is behind these UFO shoot downs they should be jailed

It’s not too bad when Mark Towehy co hosts and he doesn’t let her get away with her bullshite

Makes for good radio when you have one person on one side and one on the other

When either Scott is in the chair, just seems like it’s the two of them agreeing with each other all show, so I tune out

The Rush needs a blow up and rethink. This isn’t working

If that's their bench, why isn't one of them filling in for Agar? 

Because they found a way to have both people work and not waste a vacation day

Plus it’s a nice change

Let me explain. CFRB is a heritage radio station, a true giant. Look at the talent that has gone through there over the years. What the comment really was referring to is the demise of what was once a great radio station. There is no bench, and no news department. It's like the Blue Jays only ever played with 9 guys (although in this case it's more like 6). Let's say Bo Bichette couldn't play shortstop for some reason and what they did was move him to left field and moved Gurriel to shortstop. If that happened , you'd call them bush league. 

CFRB’s bench

Mark Towehy
Bob Reid
Deb Hutton
Tamira Cherri (spelling ??)

Not bad if you ask me

Because they don't have a full staff. If Agar has to take a day off, they should have someone who can fill in. If you want to be viewed as a major station, and CFRB has always been that, then you have to be a major station. That means staff it like one.

Sounds like they found a way to keep everyone working with no day off needed for Agar

Smart on Jerry’s part

Mark Towhey’s last shift tonight according to him.

Back to fill in work

New Host for Newstalk Tonight starting on Tuesday.

I’ll miss Mark at night, it’s been a solid program

I also like him during the day so that’s a win

He is having some sort of heart procedure on Tuesday and will be back on air Wednesday filling in on the Rush
