Visiting my mom’s place is like walking into a museum… she still uses original Tupperware, her vacuum cleaner is from the 70’s, and her deep freeze in the garage must be from the 60’s.

And it all works great!

Meet Skitter, we just adopted her about a week ago from the SPCA and she's been an absolute dream. She's definitely been scratching but her favorite thing to scratch is our kitchen chairs from the 80's so I'm not complaining! 😂 I was not expecting how much she's nap or how cuddly she'd be, she imprinted on us almost IMMEDIATELY upon coming home.

This could be the craziest… last weekend police pulled over a driver that had a stove-top burner & frying pan on his dash, and was cooking himself a steak while driving. 😳🥩🤤🚙

With the first big sports championship (NFL) of 2025 coming up in just a few weeks I figured we could play a fun little game. What is YOUR sports nickname based on your birthday? I'd be the Yankees Sniper or the New York Sniper 😎

My girlfriend has me reading the Throne of Glass series and I'm currently on Heir of Fire (Book 4) and I'm getting HOOKED. I also plan on reading A Court of Thorns and Roses, Crescent City and Fourth Wing. It's been so long since I've enjoyed a book, let alone reading so now I could use some recommendations!

The backing tracks at the inauguration didn’t work for Carrie Underwood so she had to wing it… and of course she crushed it!

I announce hockey & basketball games and a couple of times the anthem track messed up… so what do you do? I sang it… poorly, but I did it!

The absolute best thing to turn my mood around? About 30 seconds with my dog!

Also: Music, fresh air and turning off social media!

I made a charcuterie board for my girlfriend as we celebrate Valentine's Day stuff early (she'll be out of town) and I'd like to think for my first ever charcuterie board, I did a pretty good job. We went nuts on it, a little too much, I had a stomach ache from too much cheese afterwards! 😂

Saskatoon's Matt Johner just released his new song, Wonder Women. He's our special guest on the Saskatchewan Country Closeup.
We dive into his brand new song. We talk about his writing process with his brother Luc and the connection they have writing together.

You’re not going to want to miss, what is brand new to the Saskatchewan Country Closeup this year, our lightning round!

We get to know Matt better and ask the real “controversial” questions.

Not gonna lie, everything I own has a price… except my dog. There’s no amount of money for my little Fudgy!

I am a yapper (who'd have thought the radio host liked to talk?) However, when I say that I'm a yapper, I mean, stage 5, DEFCON 1, ramble on and on, YAPPER. I have scared a good amount of people with my extensive knowledge on completely pointless things like the fictional world of Exandria and the mental intricacies of baseball. 😂 This has led to me talking over top of people or coming across as condescending before. 😭

What is YOUR red flag?

I grew up in Edmonton, which has many differences to the rest of Alberta and Saskatchewan 😂 my real answer is bull auctions and cowboy boots. I didn't know that we still had bull auctions, young me figured that would've been digitized. I was also not prepared to be ridiculed for clean cowboy boots, people take that very seriously in the country! 😂😂

What culture shock hit you the first time you visited the city or the country?
