Slow news day back in 1985.

Lol, that news anchor, Kevin Evans tried to pull a fast one on me when he interviewed me in about 1978-79.  I could remember his face but I couldn't remember his name.  Thanks for posting that!

I remember that commercial.  I don't recall whether I liked it or not. It was awful though but that was the whole point of it. Anyway, I know Abalon advertises on CJOB & when I heard "foundation repair" I had to post this. Small business owners do strange things especially when that  small business is struggling. Even in 1985, just $50,000 in sales revenue wasn't very good as foundation repairs aren't cheap. I loved the fact the guy went to the job sites in his dress shoes & casual jacket. Think he ever got his hands dirty or gave advice to the guys doing the work? I'll bet  he never had one callous on his hands. But he was a cheesy singer. Whatever works, I guess. 

As far as Kevin Evans goes, I went to the 1986 Grey Cup in Vancouver. The night before we hit the bars downtown & I ran into him & Stan Kubichek. I had a couple of drinks & chatted with them both before we left & went somewhere else. Evans is like 5'4. Just a little guy. Is he even in the broadcast business anymore? I think he lives on the West Coast now. What about Stan? Anyone know?

Right on! Love hearing Bomber talk in the off-season.

Eight guests to do a two hour show on CJOB?  They're only going to get about 3 minutes of talk time each.

That's about par for the course, and the main reason I stopped listening to the coaches' show.

And now nobody can complain about not knowing about it ahead of time.

I'm super jacked about it... The first one kicked so much ass. 

Just doubling back on this. Finally had a chance to listen to the whole thing this afternoon and again it was really well done. Some great comments from MOS, Lapo, Buck and DB97, I thought. Bob talking CFL with people is something I will always love listening to. You get so many CFL voices that legitimately believe they're celebrities (not just Rod P... There are a few...) and when Chandler Fenner tells Bob it's an honour to talk to him because he s a living legend, Bob is legit embarrassed and doesn't even wanna further that idea. We are so blessed to have Knucks, I'll tell you what...

Knuckles is every bit as humble as he is a legend. Which is part of what makes him soo great. 

Do you have a link by chance?

That Fenner comment also shows me the kind of guy he is, what a great pickup both on and off the field.

Fenner was really impressive, but bowman really impressed me too. 

Bowman has changed a lot since he was here last apparently.  very impressed by how far he's come and Fenner pumping knuckles tires was pretty solid yup

More likely totally distorted what you said turning your position upside down. Been there many years ago.  There is a reason journalists are ranked with politicians on popularity contests.

I was about 18-19 at the time and was with the Forces Reserve at Minto Armoury.  We were having an open house and I was tasked with manning a table with some of our equipment laid out.  He came up and asked if he could interview me.  That was something new and I probably looked as nervous as I felt.  So he went over what he was going to ask and when I was ready, we started the interview.  Everything went fine until he started with "one last question".  Then he asked the real question.  "Is the Reserves just a Boy Scouts for old men?"  Not too cool to put a 18-19 year old newly promoted corporal on the spot like that.  Would have been fine if it hadn't been a try at a "gotcha" question.
