Tony - Cheers to all of you who are also "that guy" on Christmas!

Oh, and what song are you cranking up first?

Tony and Graeme - What Coulda Been
This is where we take a deep dive on your favourite songs and bands and ask what could've been? Like what if this band actually listened to their label? We may have never gotten one of the best ballads of the 90s!

Tony and Graeme - Well that's a WRAP on our 12 Days of Christmas with 8 Days of Presents contest! Christine pulled down our day 1 prize, which is this amazing PS5 digital gaming console!

We'd like to thank Kolb's Fine Meats & Sausage Ltd. for helping us give away so many great gifts this year. Check 'em out in Olds or on Gas Alley! MERYY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Tony and Graeme - Ok, seriously, who's still running one of these badass units? We saw a modernized version the other day that was made to look like a mini kitchen chainsaw. Awesome!

I had maple walnut pie for the first time last weekend. I'm hooked!
It's "Maple Syrup Day".
What's your favourite way to enjoy it?

Tony and Graeme - The star and angel are iconic, but what are some of the more non traditional tree toppers out there? What are you using?! This Die Hard one is pretty badass.

Tony and Graeme - Here's the thing about turkey at Christmas, there are so many people that don't really care for that bird. We don't mind it because it's only once a year, but are you doing something a little different? Sign us up for some prime rib, a Chinese food spread, OR the greatest feast of all time....the Ukrainian feast!

Tony - Worst stinger you've ever had from a puck?

This Oil Panthers game has been a helluva ride in the goals department, but Hymie is all heart by returning to the bench wearing the fishbowl after catching a Bouch Bomb to the mug 😬

Hyman back on the bench after taking a clapper to the face

Tony - There are so many of these floating around, but this is a new fav for me lol. Got any more?

ZED'S HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT: Die Hard
It had solid action and a decent storyline but it was just another action movie. The saving grace was Alan Rickman. His portrayal of Hans Gruber was by far the best part! 7.4/10

12/16/2024

Tony and Graeme - Do you have a budding drummer in the house?! Our yearly secret Santa has stopped in yet again to offer a young one a chance to live their rock and roll dream, but this time it's with drum sticks rather than strings!

- A complete Roland Electronic Drumkit
- A set of AKG K52 headphones
- Sticks
- A drum throne
- A month’s worth of prepaid lessons.

Listen to Zed's Morning Crew all week for your chance to qualify as we play a game we call "Roll the Clip for the Roland Kit!"

JC: On The Vinyl Vault tonight at 6, The Tragically Hip's spectacular first full LP, "Up To Here". I had a great question from Shawn Hart in Cambridge, Nova Scotia, about the cover photos. He asked if that was Maple Leaf Gardens the Hip are standing in front of. And after 35 years, I thought ... "how do I not know this?" So I googled it, and the A.I. search told me it was indeed KCVI, the Kingston Collegiate Vocational Institute where the Hip went to high school. So that's what I told him was the answer. And then I asked my friend, Anna Zee, who went to KCVI at around the same time, and knew some of the Hip dudes in high school. And she said, NOPE. It's not KCVI. So, if you happen to know what building that is on the "Up To Here" cover ... let me know, below! And enjoy tonight's Vinyl Vault, our national listening party. I'd love to know your thoughts, right here. Tonight (Saturday) at 6PM in Alberta and BC.
