Finally, I'm back on Terra firma and able to post last night's episode. For the last 24 hours I've been aboard the SS Piece of S, 20 000 leagues under the sea of the Ottawa river.
As usual, we kicked things off by listening to my set from the Cliche Cafe. We then played some audio from when I ordered a Submarine Sandwich. Aztec Weather God 'Quetzalcoatl' kept our listeners up to date from our very own heli-chopper, and I explained the logic behind Monkey Ski, Monkey Do, Monkey Ski-doo. We also took a moment to reminisce about our Octopus Octagon. We also got around to resurrecting the Gangsta Word of the Week, which happened to be 'Cola Surfer' and I talked about the legend of the Oar Whore. Finally, I talked a bit about my favourite TV show Late Nite Chum Talk w/ Adolphe Inn.
Stephanie from Ottawa-based Canned Funk called in to the show and sang along with the Little Mermaid's 'Under the Sea'.
At 1AM, our FM broadcast signal went down, due to a planned outage I had not been told about. I continued the show for our online audience over on www.ckcufm.com and eventually had the bright idea to check in on the CHUO 89.1 FM stream. This lead me to call up my arch-nemesis Doug Ralph, host of competing program Do you hear what I hear? We talked about his claim to having "the greatest late night radio show in Ottawa", his East Coast tour, my involvement with University of Ottawa radio, and racing for pink slips.
With about a half hour left I started wondering if Digory (host of the Mixedtape Marathon) would be coming in. I got him on the phone and we argued about who's program should be aired overnight, but the question remained, would DJ Digs show up?
And then I decided to freestyle mad jams up in yo ass for the last ten minutes of the show with my main man Juan Pedro.

Tonight's show was all about violence, crime, policemen, lawmakers and breakers.
Unfortunately, I had to use a text-to-speech computer program for the whole show because I lost my voice. We kicked things off by listening to my set from the Cliche Cafe. Later on, we revisited the issues surrounding Cinema Politica and Marc Kelly, as well as the G-Man's (Gerrard Daeschel) run in with the 5-0.
At the top of the hour, we covered traffic on the Ottawa roads and highways. We also played some Crazy Crazy Craigslist; White TheSaurus's newest single 'Whymanizer' from his 'The 90's Mixtape'; and my duet of Ain't No Mountain High Enough.
Halfway through the second hour, we remembered fondly our very first episode in which we covered CB Radios and Police Scanners. We also managed to find some time to play the second episode of Rug Burns: Vigilante Cop. And finally, the topic of field sobriety tests was broached.
Big thanks goes out to anyone who donated to the station during our annual funding drive!

My alter-ego, the Moon Dog, was in studio, feeling ill for our Swine Flu Funding Drive Special!
Stephanie, lead singer of the band Canned Funk, was in studio to promote 'Caution (Remix)' and took a couple calls about the band's upcoming Euro-Tour.
A long-time caller said the swine flu vaccine is a conspiracy being funded by General Motors.
We played my funding drive ad from last year, and talked about where all the funding drive money is going. Some of the items we have purchased are: an A-Frame Ladder, a hammer, some aerosal spray, a jackhammer, and some motorcycles to name a few. We also let Sigmund Freud's Robotic Android make a couple phoney phone calls.
In the second hour, we played an episode of The Strange Dr. Weird, which was about lifting weights, apes, and tommy guns.
Special thanks goes out to my sisters Celine, Elise, and my Mom for donating to the show and the station.

Another week, another show.
The topic was Halloween, and I was fortunate enough to be joined by my girlfriend Stephanie. Stephanie came in to promote her band Canned Funk and their new single "Caution".
We talked about ghosts, sweeps of light, flashing lights, Halloween costumes, trick or treating and everything in between. We also played some Street Safe tracks and a 5 Minute Mystery.
Peter White discussed the history of Halloween, haunted houses, lightning, and raccoons.
On the phone we had Maggie call in to discuss her attempts at raising the dead, and Brendan from the Mixtape Marathon called in to say absolutely nothing.
We're in the middle of our Funding Drive, the station and the show desperately need your support, so if you can chip in a couple bucks, it's to a good cause: http://www.ckcufm.com/

Tonight's topic was Outer-Space, the Universe, Planets, Gravity, Stars, the Moon, as we celebrate the 41st Anniversary of Apollo 7 landing in the Atlantic Ocean after orbiting the earth 163 times.
We kicked off the show by playing a track from legendary rock band Crap Factory.
As usual we played another one of my poetry sets from the Cliche Cafe in the Byward Market, which was all about outer-space.
Sean Cooley called in to play our Star Wars Game, only to have his phone cut out and Mike answer the final question correctly (Jar Jar Binks). We played Juan Pedro's phony phone call using the Star Wars soundboard...and then we called a Denny's using the old lady's voice from said crank call.
We discussed Germany's plans to travel to the moon, my interview with Gerrard the Alien, teleportation devices, comet vomit, cows in space, and wolves in space.
In entertainment news, we played the made-for-radio-movie Gravitational Pull: A Love Story, and also checked out the Seinfeld spin-off show COSMOnauts, and Aaron Neville sang with Ernie from Sesame Street about living on the moon.
Bobby from Pure Radio Kaos also called in to recommend some CANCON.

Moon Down Radio is coming to you in Joint Stereo sound-o-phonics now...sweet.
Tonight's topic was Animals and Pets...which our first caller, Sean Cooley of Moonrappin' fame, was made aware of during the first minutes of the show. As part of our celebration of ROCKTOBER, the station is playing strictly rock music 24/7 throughout the month of October. The show's sponsor was Soda-Chugging Hits.
Peter White talked a bit about his cats and fish; I talked about Crocodile Thigh, Moo-Cow Mix-Ups, my old Bird Show, the leaky air conditioner in the studio, the youtube goat that yells 'Bob', and even found time to play some Pin the Tail on the Donkey with Mike from Kettleman's Bagel Co.
During this show we also revisited my dog story, the Baby Elephant Show, Grooves and Hooves, as well as the infamous Ferret Fone Conversations (including calls to Blockbuster, Pet Smart, and Critter Jungle).

This week we're at the movies...
Right off the top we tried to get into an in-depth conversation about To Kill a Mockingbird, only to be forced to play advertisements for our sponsor (Mayella's Chiffarobes). Once we again though, we found time to visit the Cliche Cafe, bring you the Morse Code News, and play some Crazy Crazy Craigslist.
Movies on our radar were the XXX-rated 'Little Foot Fetish Shop of Horrors', 'Grease: A Day in the Life of an Auto Mechanic', 'Rug Burns: Vigilante Cop - Episode 1', and 'Hair in 600 Seconds'.
Finally, Peter White shared his knowledge on VHS tapes, Andrew from the Charlatan dropped by to play our very own Star Wars Game, and Andrew's mom called in to the show and asked him to come home.
Juan Pedro capped things off by sharing his Christian Bale phony phone calls.

Tonight's topic was Gaming and Sports:
We kicked things off by playing my most recent set from the Cliche Cafe (w/ bongos). We checked out new video games 'Grooves and Hooves' and 'Tractor Simulator 2009'. Later on we played the 'Nintendo Rap April 25.mp3' and Juan Pedro shared his 'Darkness the Curse' phony phone call to Blockbuster Video.
Dr. Chad Warden reviewed the PS3 (PSTriple), the XBOX 360 and the Wii.
Peter White chimed in with his thoughts on chess, Monopoly, Warhammer, arcades, and Pokemon.
The Sports Hour kicked off with our very own Carleton Sports Recap, including rowing, field hockey, and soccer scores. We also took some time to celebrate Mean Joe Greene's birthday, and Ben Johnson's 21st anniversary of roidin' it up at the '88 Summer Olympics. He cheetah all the time.
We covered the 'Hockey Helmet Hoedown', and the fastest growing sport in North America, 'Baby Punt'.
Aztec weather God 'Quetzalcoatl' kept our listeners up to date from our very own heli-chopper; and Rob 'n' Cole called Ottawa residents asking them "Would you rather be a Packers fan, or stick your head in the toilet?"
DJ Digs called in to bag on Ben Johnson, talk about Reaganomics, and plug his radio show.
