Prediction: Tea will be spilled and yarns will be spun, so to speak.

Not a consistent 99.9 fan but I really appreciate the way Adam steers the Steve Dangle podcast episodes, he's entertaining, knows his stuff and it's not a surprise he'll be devoting his energy to the network of shows they've developed.

Nice to be able to leave voluntarily, and I am sure Jax will end up with another radio gig down the road, possibly in her hometown out east.

Curious to hear who'll be doing Virgin mornings and if it's an inspired choice or less so, like the new GM for the Leafs.

Mr. Dressup is trending on Twitter.

CP24's interview with Ed Conroy linked above.

It's a great gift to make people happy.

I decided to ask ChatGPT if it did want fries with that. Here's what it told me:

"As an AI language model, I don't have physical senses or the ability to consume food, so I don't have preferences for fries or any other food items. However, if you're asking whether fries would make a good addition to a meal, it ultimately depends on personal taste and dietary preferences. Fries are a popular side dish and often complement meals such as burgers, sandwiches, or fried chicken. They can be enjoyed by many people as a tasty and satisfying addition to their meal."

You'd think a computer program would know something about "chips!"

No wonder it failed in radio...

ChatGPT, a "chips" off the old blockhead. 😌

Twitter is full of tweets from music legends sharing their memories, love and respect for Anna Mae Bullock.

An actual groundbreaking legend. Brilliant songs, endless legs, black leather, sexy bed hair, that wicked gleam in her eye paired with a saucy grin. The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll.

83 years. RIP Ms. Turner 🕯️

PPity he couldn't appear on Moore In the Morning.

It's the jewel in 1010's crown and John Moore would likely ask an entirely different line of questions than Jerry Agar.

MITM is where a man of Pierre's significance ought to appear, but isn't for whatever reason.

If only Reshmi could chat with him. That could make for entertaining radio. 🤔😏

Newstalk 1010 gives new meaning to aPPointment radio.

Why would CFRB do this. What do they hope to accomplish. It's not on brand. Or maybe it is.

Even though Alissa Thibault is based out of the Vancouver CTV studios I'm sharing this because the impact of years of reporting takes a toll on radio and television journalists and news reporters right across the country and there's a couple of mental health resources specifically for those in the business mentioned in the replies to Alissa's tweet that someone may not know about and may find helpful now or down the road.

PTSD is more prevalent in radio and television than the public would think.

Chances are it's the courage of the company's employees in the past, some of them who live here in Toronto who have spoken up about their need for a mental health break from the work that are one of the main reasons CTV is permitting Alissa's leave of absence. I wish her well.

Maybe you should take their National Potato Chip Day quiz! Yes, they really did have one. (But then again, as a Lays-man might say, nobody can have just one...)

a national potato chip day quiz, perfect for this long weekend! thanks x 2 RA!

If you've ever wanted to ask Terry O'Reilly something about advertising, marketing, or Beatles trivia (kidding about that one) and have him answer it on Under the Influence, now's your chance. The Ask Terry episode is coming up.

If there was ever a group capable of coming up with terrific questions, it's the brains found here on the big yellow board.

Details on how to #AskTerry can be found in the above tweet.

It'll come down to money. The cost of what a new broadcast duo would want to be paid and where do they find them. Both companies have been proven to be sometimes less than skilled at mentoring young talent.

I hope Joe Bowen and Jim Ralph are back next season.

You can't put a price on the comforting sound of a beloved familiar veteran voice speaking to you from your radio. Unless you're Bell and Rogers. And Corus.

I needed to find out the origin of the expression and wasn't disappointed.

I like Radiowiz's idea of covering part of the t.v.

Physical television sets are a status symbol/tech toy, good for sports and some movies but still necessary? Meh.

Man's best friend.
Back story:

Lightfoot’s funeral yesterday was reportedly a small, private affair with 50 close friends and family members attending, but local fans had an opportunity to pay their respects at a public visitation on Sunday.

Those who did witnessed a bittersweet moment as an unexpected mourner curled up by the late musician’s side: a dog named Taurus.

According to Lightfoot’s longtime publicist Victoria Lord, Taurus belongs to one of Lightfoot’s tour people, and they bonded while on the road together.

“He used to go on the road with him and wait for Gordon side stage,” Victoria Lord told Newsner. “Gordon loved dogs.”

I realized after posting that many people won't read the back story about Taurus in the replies below the tweet of the photo, thanks for sharing it SpinningWheel.

If you're a regular CBC listener and/or bookworm, writer or lover of words you may have heard Shelagh's always interesting conversations with Canadian authors on The Next Chapter.

She's had a remarkable career so far, 43 years is quite the stretch at one company, even when it's the CBC.

I would further add that he is 40 watt bulb, for a 100 watt party... while the rest of the world has shifted to LED technology.

excellent observation Glen Warren!
just popped back to share this piece from the lexical Susie Dent on Trump and trumpery, Susie's always fun and smart too.

Here are the details for the visitation.🕯️

Dave Bidini's book would make a terrific gift for any Gordon Lightfoot fan, and coincidentally take care of the challenge of what do you get your significant other or parents for Mother's Day and Father's Day. This book and a Gordon Lightfoot album or CD.
