GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is the kick off for the World Cup of Soccer. Kick off….Get it? I stole that line from Maureen Holloway on Q107. She used it this morning on the radio. I’ve been listening to Maureen for a long time, probably because I’ve listen to Q107 from the day the station first started. I think Q107 started sometime in the late seventies but I’m not sure when Maureen started. I like Maureen Holloway. I know Trudy and the girls like her too. I heard that the Muskoka rule was, when driving in the car as soon as it was time for Maureen on the radio everyone had to shut-up and listen. For those of you that don’t know, Maureen is on Q107 three times in the morning. I usually catch all three, first time standing naked in the shower around 6:50 am, next in my car at the Tim Horton’s line-up around 7:30 and finally shortly after 8 while I’m sitting in the parking lot at my work, depending on traffic. For each segment she comes on for 4 or 5 minutes to do her prepared shtick and John Derringer, with the morning crew, feeds off what she is saying. It really sounds like everyone is having a good time. It doesn’t come off as the usual phony laughter that you get from some morning radio shows. Maureen’s radio time is very scheduled because she syndicates her segments all across the country. I have caught her act in Calgary and Halifax and found both times that her interaction with the local radio personalities just isn’t the same as the genuine entertainment that I hear on the mighty Q. Talk about having nothing to blog.

Hey does anyone even care that the World Cup of Soccer starts today?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
