Shout Out: Six Degrees of Separation!
November 24th, 2010 by Ben McCully
At the Fort McMurray Music Teacher’s Association Songwriter’s Competition concert last weekend I promised that I would do my best to showcase all the local talent I could. All you have to do is send me an email and I will gladly share your story. I wanted to kick things off by giving a shout out to boy Stu Marchand, who’s a fantastic singer/songwriter that did very well at the competition, and also happens to be good buddies with Mike Plume. Plume will be on the show tomorrow morning to talk about coming to Fort Mac to perform the Hockey Song and 8:30 Newfoundland at the Northern Classic. So, I thought now was as good a time as any to give Stu a shout out, and let you know that his new album is coming in December…watch and listen for it on Country 93.3!

After this weekend, its back to the wild, wild west for McCully, as I take over the morning show for Country 93.3 in Fort McMurray.
As you can imagine, its bitter sweet, as I’ll be leaving behind quite the city…
Only in Ottawa…
-can you skate to work in the winter
-get kicked off a bus for raising the wrong eyebrow
-enjoy skunks running through your front yard DOWNTOWN
-have a city council debate over a loud air conditioner
-fart at a sold out hockey game and have people five rows away hear it
-have a daily whiplash factor of 9.5 or higher along the Ottawa U side of the canal on any given day
Thank you CHEZ nation for a lot of fun, a lot of free food, and a lot of laughs. Take care of Cosmo, he’s broken hearted that I’m leaving and needs your support
“The Other Guys” Just Might Be Hilarous
August 4th, 2010 by Ben McCully
When a movie is hush-hush about what’s in it, its either really, REALLY good or…it sucks and no one wants you to know. Nowadays, guys like Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg have conflicting reputations depending on who you ask. So when their movie “The Other Guys” didn’t have a “buzz” automatically generated and trailers weren’t really revealing much, people started to talk…that talk usually involved sentences with the word “suck” in it. So, the producers (who know the movie is actually funny) decided to break their silence and provide this exclusive FOUR MINUTE preview…and it does look like a giggle or two may be generated
Classless Lebron tells Cavs Fans To Stick It & Beats Up Cavs Mascot!
July 21st, 2010 by Ben McCully
It was a dark day for the WCW, er, I mean the Cleveland Cavaliers. For weeks (2 days), 2 of the biggest, unsigned free agents were promising a “third man” was coming to take over. Nobody thought it was possible that the face of the sport would be that third man, in the (2nd) most epic “heel turn” in sports history. Watch the drama unfold…
Mel Gibson’s Racist Love Song (some NSFW language)
July 16th, 2010 by Ben McCully
You’ve heard his rants, you’ve looked at crazy pictures of Mel making crazy faces that always accompany the stories about his rants, now, enjoy Mel Gibson’s attempt to make things right and win back the love of his fake-breasted model. I give you, Mel Gibson’s love song…

Bob Probert passed away today at the age of 45. He collapsed while on a boat in his hometown of Windsor, Ontario. One of the heavyweight champions of the NHL, his series of bouts with Tie Domi are legendary. Here they are…

Paranormal Activity 2: Now With More Dogs & Babies!
June 30th, 2010 by Ben McCully
I’m THAT type of person. The one who loved Blair Witch and couldn’t sleep at night because of it. I also loved Paranormal Activity, just for the communal experience of sitting in a theatre with terrifed people groaning in unison every time the movie cut to another nighttime scene. BUT, a Paranormal Activity 2?? Can this possibly be good? Will I go? Questions, questions…enjoy the trailer…
Mall Closes For G20 Protests, This Guy Doesn’t Get It (some NSFW language)
June 29th, 2010 by Ben McCully
The G20/G8 summit was in Toronto…old news. There were riots, protests, police accused of wrongdoing etc…TIRED, old news. Then, there was THIS guy who just couldn’t wrap his around why the Eaton Centre in Toronto closed during the melee. Enjoy.
Controversial G20 riot footage
June 27th, 2010 by Ben McCully
In a country that has as many differing opinions on the G20 situation in Toronto as there are years the Leafs haven’t won a cup, I will (for the moment) bite my tongue and let this video speak for itself.
The Muppets: American Woman
June 11th, 2010 by Ben McCully
The Muppets are setting a trend the rest of the world could live by: go classic rock baby! After the viral success of the Muppet version of “Bohemian Rhapsody”, Henson’s crew are back with a rendition of American Woman by Sam the Eagle. Hilarious!
