City & Colour, Toronto, August 28, 2010

Monday, August 30th, 2010 by Jim Elyot

Many thanks to a happy Drive listener named Elizabeth, who just got back from seeing this great show after winning tickets on The Drive.

City and Colour was amazing and Dallas Green is so humble and was just sweetly honored that the crowd would come to see him. In his own words “I wasn’t planning on saying anything tonight and just play but Holy Shit.” lol There were goosebumps moments and I have the links from the show to just a couple of songs that blew us away like Save Your Scissors and The Girl. And to end the show, with great awe to the crowd, Gord Downie came from back stage to join in “Sleeping Sickness.”

Thank you, thank you, thank you for an amazing night and if there is a chance to request anything by City and Colour to be played, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Andrew and Elizabeth Willey”

You’re very welcome!

It is a fine touque though…

Eva Mendes Selling ‘Sex Tape’

Thursday, August 5th, 2010 by Shawn

The sex tape everyone has been waiting for with Eva Mendes is finally here and you won’t believe what kinds of positions she gets into.

Now, admit, you’re curious…or outright anxious. In the video below, see how Eva describes how, “My sex tape will take care of the nastiest, dirtiest and most flexible problems you have.”

You might be thinking (like I did): Is Eva Mendes really that hard up for cash these days? I thought things were going well. Well, they are. It’s a spoof for Will Ferrell’s website FunnyorDie.com and her ‘sex tape’ is actually sticky household masking tape. So keep dreaming.

Drunk Guy vs. Pole

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010 by Shawn

Let’s be honest, few things are funnier than really, really drunk people caught on camera. This is the latest…

BTW: The original flip-flop video that the camera man refers to is here.

Didn’t Alfred Hitchcock Do A Movie About This?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010 by Jim Elyot

KOL get pooped on This is the video from a story that Jenn had on yesterday’s Morning Rush Alt news. The Kings of Leon were playing a festival in St. Louis Missouri, when a few songs in the local pigeon population got a little too over excited and started…well, pooping all over the band. It’s kinda gross at 1:12 in when the drummer wipes something off his face and you realize that it’s….yeah. Kings had a 20 song set-list planned but had to stop the show three songs in. Jenn’s alt news goes every day at 7:50 on the Morning Rush.

Slamming Canada?

Thursday, July 15th, 2010 by Reid

Hey San Francisco…Denver…Portland…Seattle…Minneapolis, WHAT THE HELL DID WE EVER DO TO YOU?  An enviromental group is telling people to stay away from Alberta because of the effects of the oil sands.  They’ve created a commercial and a web-site  rethinkalberta.com At first I was outraged, then I thought…could this be true?  Nah, it can’t be…not one of us…we couldn’t possibly be hurting anyone or anything.  What do you think?

Reid!

The oil sadly continues

Monday, May 31st, 2010 by Ali MacLean

Surprise surprise, it didn’t work, the latest efforts to stop the BP oil spill did not succeed and it will likely continue till August. “Spill” is an understatement, take a look at the video! Warning: it is disturbing to watch!  (and it changes, sometimes it’s showing work being done to try and stop said leak)

Jayna Hefford interview with Reid

Monday, March 8th, 2010 by Reid

Kingstonian Jayna Hefford is an unbelievable hockey player…male or female. She is simply put, one of the best! Three Olympic gold medals and one silver…not to mention all the gold and silver World Championships.  Not only is she a great hockey player, she’s an ambassador to the sport, she raises money for charity through golf tournaments, and develops female hockey players of tomorrow through her hockey school she runs in Kingston every summer.  Just ask Meghan Agosta who attended it 9 years ago and now shares Olympic gold with Jayna.

I spoke with her and we chatted about the Olympics, gold medals, and, yes, the smokin’ and drinking.  I love this picture by the way.  Have a listen.
