Roger, Darren & Marilyn – Monday, November 2 – How many little monsters did YOU see?

2 Nov 2009 00:05:00 EST

It was a great night at The Courthouse on Friday night for the annual CHUM FM Halloween Bash. That dude in the “Hellboy” outfit won the $5000 grand prize! Click here to see some of the photo highlights from the evening - http://www.chumfm.com/Media/PhotoGallery/Photos.aspx?GalleryID=158

One of the guys who works around here told us about his neighbours, who had 1100 kids visit the house on Saturday night. They go to great lengths on Halloween (including showing scary movies on the front yard) and they draw quite a crowd.

Roger, Darren & Marilyn – Wednesday, November 4 – What a waste!

4 Nov 2009 00:05:00 EST

How much of your life is wasted time? According to a study, two and a half years of your life are spent standing in line ups, stuck in traffic jams, etc. Do infomercials count? How about reruns of “Saved By The Bell”?

Tomorrow morning, we’ll tell you how you can win a shopping spree with Nelly Furtado.

And we’ve got more Bon Jovi tickets to give away.

Roger, Darren & Marilyn - November 5 - Today's Best Commercials!

5 Nov 2009 00:05:00 EST

Sure, people often say that they don't like commercials, when in fact they mean they don't like BAD commercials. One of our guests this morning was Terry O'Reilly, author of the book The Age Of Persuasion - How Marketing Ate Our Culture. Terry played us some of the best commercials of all time - including a ONE SECOND commercial that's in the Guiness Book Of World Records as the world's shortest ad. Click ?On Demand? to hear it and the rest of the morning show highlights.

Have you ever been caught re-gifting? We had a bunch of listeners tell us about their worst re-gifting experiences ? many of them had to do with weddings. One listener?s crazy aunt actually stole the cutlery from a wedding and gave it to her niece two weeks later.

Tomorrow more Bon Jovi tickets and comedian Gerry Dee will drop by.

Roger, Darren & Marilyn – Wednesday, November 18 – These guys are nuts!

18 Nov 2009 00:05:00 EST

Jacob and Dave from Hedley dropped by this morning – and we pretty much had to tie down the furniture and hide all of the sharp objects. I had a chance to listen to the new CD “The Show Must go” yesterday and I think this could be the one that brings them to a new level. 11 tracks, no filler. Some of the best cuts are “Young & Stupid” and “Sweater Song”.
