DRIVE Mornings: Reid and Jenn-O Touchdown Dance Competition

February 6th, 2012 by Reid

In honour of Superbowl 46, we busted out our moves and tried to pull off the BEST touchdown dance (we had some help with video and editing).  Well, the results are in and thanks to your votes, Reid has been declared the WINNER!!  It was very close, however, in the end the “poll dancing” was no match for the “worm”.  As winner, Reid will now recieve beer and wings served by a hot cheerleader.  Stay tuned!!

Reid would like to thank…

Long Distance Kissing – Coming To A Mouth Near You!

February 3rd, 2012 by Jenn-O

An Artificial Intelligence researcher has created a device to make your long distance relationship easier. (Huffington Post)

Hooman Samani’s most recent invention is the “Kissenger,” a small pig or cow-type pair of lips stuck to a circular body that you can plug into your computer via a USB chord while you’re Skyping with your partner far across the world.

Simply kiss the non-bacteria-covered device and have your partner do the same.

The lips of the “Kissenger” will mold around yours, simulating the feeling of a real, live human kiss. Check out the video to see how it works…

New Wine For Hockey Fans

January 31st, 2012 by Jenn-O

They’re calling it the perfect wine for hockey fans. Since when is wine the preferred drink of choice for hockey night?

That being said, I’ll still be giving these a try, just because.

The N-H-L Alumni Association has partnered up to launch a line of wines called ‘Hat Trick Red’ and ‘Hat Trick White’.

They’re being called a natural fit for hockey fans and their food pairings like “Chinese takeout, Hot Buffalo Wings or Nachos.”

If you need more incentive, 50 cents from each bottle sold goes to the NHL Alumni Association to support various charitable causes and help further promote the game.

The new hockey-inspired wines are now available at L-C-B-O outlets in Ontario and cost $12.95/bottle.

Judging by the name, I think it’s only fitting that I pick up three. Check out the complete article and video here

DRIVE Mornings: Shafia Murder Trial with Kingston Police

January 30th, 2012 by Reid

In my opinion, justice was served yesterday in the Shafia murder trial.  All three suspects each guilty on four counts of murder.  Life in prison.  Let’s all do what we can to ensure this never happens again.  This might not have been possible if it wasn’t for the fantastic investigation team of the Kingston Police Department.  This morning we chatted with Staff Sargeant Chris Scott.

Lego Man Survives Trip To Stratosphere

January 26th, 2012 by Jenn-O

This is so cool!

Two Toronto high-school science buffs figured out how to launch a Lego man into space on a homemade spacecraft.

Matthew Ho and Asad Muhammad managed to capture the entire voyage on video and have posted it on YouTube.

The flight of the Lego man holding a Canadian flag shows the world gradually dropping away below him.

The plastic toy floats in front of a glowing blue Earth before the helium balloon bursts and begins its descent.
