Imagine you’re home in your backyard and collapse unconcious, leaving three young children to figure out what to do? That’s what happened to Langford’s Olena Simpson yesterday. Thankfully her daughter Rebekah remembered what to do after a talk with her grandma. She called 9-11. Listen to our talk with Rebekah’s mom and a portion of the 9-11 call itself.~ Forbes & Marshall

Let us share an e-mail we just recieved from a listener in Mexico. Goes to show you that the internet has no borders.

“Good morning, I write from the city of Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, every day I
hear your program and I really like because I have many memories when I lived in
1998 in the city of Victoria and always listened to your station as well, I wish
you a excellent day” ~Roberto Suarez

At the end he wanted to share a You Tube video of a very talented young group from Mexico. This girl is very cute and and gives a great tribute to Adele.~ Forbes & Marshall

Gotye has ruled our airwaves for a few weeks now and personally we are NOT tired of “Somebody That I Used To Know”. There are some however that have heard it a lot and would like to give it a rest, like comedian Eric Schwartz. When your grandma has the tune as her ring tone, you know it’s had it’s day.~Forbes & Marshall

It’s a bizarre world at 4am when the working folk clash with those ghostly drifters. If you’ve never had the pleasure of dragging your caboose out of bed at 3am every morning, it’s the time of day where strange is the norm. You’ll find our version of the “Dawn Patrol” on page 21 of this month’s Seaside Times.~ Forbes and Marshall

If you have an extra $29.7 million hanging around, you can buy Celine Dion’s Quebec mansion. It would come fully furnished surrounded by our own personal moat. Ok, it’s on an island. She is selling because she rarely spends any time there. Perhaps if we all pooled our money we could buy it for a time share. ~Forbes & Marshall

Listen, it’s a massive BBQ for 5,000 people and a live concert from Hedley. Seriously, that would be awesome! If we get into the top 10 we at least get the BBQ. Can you help us out and vote? Time is running out! ~Forbes & Marshall

Thanks to you and the staff at the Westshore Town Centre Tim Hortons for having us out to support Camp Day! You want to see staff throw TimBits and us catch them in our mouths? Well, this is your lucky day~ Forbes & Marshall

Our little Canadian girl Carly Rae Jepsen is now becoming an international star because of her song Call Me Maybe and with the help of fellow Canuck Justin Bieber. She went to theatre school here in Victoria and made a stop on Canadian Idol…bet she didn’t think that the president of the United States was going to sing her song! ~ Forbes & Marshall
