Did you get up at 3 a.m. this morning? Apparently this was the time Netflix set for the release of the new season of Arrested Development. The Bluths are back baby. Based on it’s success, you have to wonder will other TV shows be resurrected from the network TV dead?
97th running of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, the Indianapolis 500 went today. The race featured a record 68 lead changes. Tony Kanaan took the checkered flag at the Brickyard; It was his 12th time racing at Indy.
Beware drinkers. 29 Bars in New Jersey have gotten busted for serving low quality liquor in premium brand bottles. Something shady happening in the state of New Jersey. Well I never!
Some good drinking news. We recently wrapped up the May long weekend, and here's something to consider for the next long weekend. Confirmed AC/DC beer is coming soon to Canada! Like TNT, I hear it’s Dynamite.
Finally, some sad but true food for thought. What is the latest in demand cosmetic surgery? Answer: The “facebook facelift”. People are now getting surgery for the sole purpose of having good facebook photos. Wow, that’s sad…For the record these are the people I would unfriend.

--Oh P.S. Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield returned safely to earth on May 13th. All Canadians can be proud of his accomplishments. A little late I admit, however, incase you haven’t seen this, here is possibly the coolest 5:31 space video ever, enjoy:

These Are The Things I Think About -- May13th-May20th
It’s been another big week of Late Night TV news. Confirmed, Seth Meyers of Saturday Night Live will take over NBC's 'Late Night' show from Jimmy Fallon. You’ll remember the network recently announced Jimmy is getting the Tonight Show next year, and Jay Leno is out. Also, from Saturday Night Live, Bill Hader has left the show (Saturday’s was his last). You might know him best as Stefon on the weekend update segments. Or enjoyed him as Officer Slater in Superbad.
Burger King is going after some of McDonalds McRib action. BK is coming out with a new BBQ rib sandwich of their own. Competition could get fierce, however I hear both restaurant chains promise to continue to win us over with bad commercials and marketing. Oh, and to never actually feed us good tasting quality food.
An 'Angry Birds' movie will hit theatres in 2016. Wonder if theatres will fall down with the first bird, you know, if it’s thrown right.
Arsenio Hall and Paula Abdul are dating again. In related news 1988 called saying “who cares”.
Wednesday was “Chocolate Chip Day”. Wanted to share that with you, for no other reason then to give you the perfect excuse to eat cookies this afternoon. You’re Welcome…Mmmm, cookies!..Chips Ahoy to you. Don’t forget the milk!
Finally, there’s lots happening in hockey. Leafs lost to Boston in Game 7 this past Monday. It was a bad, sad, painful loss. Let's not talk about it. However, NHL Playoffs continue. Game 3, Chicago VS Detroit goes tonight. Series is tied at 1-1. And, the World Hockey Championships wrapped yesterday. Home team Sweden took the gold this year. Something to take the sting out of Sweden putting Canada out of the tournament earlier this week. Actual news story: A Swedish man, recently died, after making love, to a hornet's nest!!...Yeah, let’s move forward confident a Canadian would not do that.

--Oh P.S. A very fascinating story came down this week. Ancient water was found deep underground in Timmins. Experts say this water could be over 2 Billion, yes Billion, years old. It’s the oldest known water on Earth!…I was fortunate enough get an exclusive interview with water specialist Robert Boucher, jr. on my show this week. Here is what it sounded like:

These Are The Things I Think About -- May5th-12th
He sings Whole Lotta Love, her, a Whole Lotta Crazy. (Random aside, this totally sounds like a cheesey sitcom description) Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has obtained a restraining order against a fan. A woman named Alysson Billings, has been harassing him for over 3 years. Things got extra weird when she found out about his latest girlfriend. Alysson sent messages like "Your betrayal with another woman…stabs my mind/you are about to fall for that dirty old crotch./I cannot, will not, shall not live this way anymore." Yikes!
--(“What will Robert and Alysson be up to this week?!…catch ‘Whole Lotta Chaos’ Thursdays on…”)
To real sitcoms & dramas, we are into season finale time on TV. Many shows are wrapping the next few weeks. American Dad & Bob’s Burgers are among shows finishing up tonight*. Community finished its season earlier this week. How NBC would want to scrap that show last year is beyond me. And, we said goodbye to Tom Selleck’s moustache for another year, Blue Bloods was also among this week’s season enders.
Sad and odd news, Peter Robbins the voice of ‘Charlie Brown’ from the old cartoons, he’s in trouble with the law. Peter has just been sentenced to drug rehab and a year in jail. His quote when asked about the ruling: Good Grief!
Customs officials in the Caribbean just arrested three fake nuns for drug smuggling cocaine. Dear Whoppi Goldberg, there’s the ‘Sister Act 4’ plot you’ve been looking for.
Finally, here’s something to save your ‘Money Money Money’ for. The ABBA museum in Sweden opens this week. How much you wanna bet all the displays are made of Ikea furniture?! Oh, come on, “Take a chance on me” with that joke...Yeah, yeah, I know what you are thinking “Mamma Mia” that was bad.
--And that my friend is the hat trick of ABBA song references. Didn’t think you were gonna end up at that when you started reading did ya ;-)
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. *-Reminder, you’ll wanna record those shows. A huge night of NHL hockey is ahead. Including the Leafs, they’ve made it to Game 6 against Boston. It’s another F*&k or Swim game, Go Leafs Go! Keep it coming!…
This past Monday was Game 3, the first Leafs Playoff home game in since 2004; a tough loss, it featured however another very fine CBC opening montage. This one gave Leafs fans butterflies. Bonus points on the Jim Cuddy CBC:
…Fact: If the Leafs win tonight’s game the crowds cheers will likely blow the roof off the Air Canada Centre!

These Are The Things I Think About -- Apr29th-May5th
It’s May baby…NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are here!*
The new Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport was dedicated Friday, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Bill Clinton I hear is super excited, having an airport named after him, he’s thinking Mile High Club trips will be that much easier.
Food for thought, slight pun intended, for your coming summer plans. If you are visiting Alberta in July don’t forget to pack heart attack medicine. Calgary Stampede planners have announced the new food items set to debut in the Midway this year. Including, this absolute heart stopper: Deep Fried Philly Cheesesteak Rollups…I think my cholesterol went up just writing that sentence.
A huge week in Sports, NBA centre Jason Collins, came out as gay. Following the announcement he says the support he's received has been “incredible”. Really, I thought he would have described it as “fabulous”.
Here’s an interesting tip. Research says swearing infront of someone is a good way to strengthen your relationships with friends, family, co workers and other people you know…So in that case. Thanks for reading, Fuckers!
Clint Eastwood and his wife should perhaps do some swearing at each other. Sad news, his wife recently started seeing a therapist to deal with depression & anxiety their relationship is causing her. Worst part, I hear she is dealing with a lot of jealous feelings too, as Clint spends all his time talking to that damn chair instead of her.
Here’s your proof there is something wrong with the world. “Two-and-a-Half Men” has been renewed for an 11th season. Wow, how the hell has this terrible show been on this long?! Remember MASH, the beloved, critically acclaimed show; its final episode set a television ratings record. It ran for 11 seasons. There my friend, is some comparative TV food for thought for ya.
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. *-Go Leafs Go!! I’ve said it many a time before and I’m saying it again. I love the opening montages CBC does before games, especially during the Playoffs. This is the opener from the Leafs first game against Boston. It’s awesome: (Happy Pat Burns at 2:15 just has to make you smile!)
P.S.S.--Since we are talking hockey, in addition to the Toronto Maple Leafs triumphant return to the second season!, here’s my Top 5 things to look forward to during the Playoffs:
#5- CBC HNIC opening montages (seriously, I love these things!)
#4- John Tortorella post game press conferences…They are magical aren't they
#3- Montreal fans rioting, win or lose
#2- Horrendous US sportscasters showing highlights (I’ve never seen “Iced Haackey” or cheered for a “Samuel Cup” win before, Americans apparently do)
#1- Gary Bettman getting booed when he presents the Stanley Cup!
