Beat The Bank is played all over Canada and this sets the Canadian record for biggest win!

Rising Price of Wiper Fluid

You thought gas was expensive?!

I bought windshield washer wiper fluid at the gas station today for 5 bucks!!! 5 bucks!!! I remember when it was a buck! And the stuff was sold out because of the weather we've been having of course!

I need to get into that business! LOL

So with the container being about 2 litres, its approx. $2.50 a litre. Gas is around 80 cents a litre. And people complain about gas?!

The wiper fluid should wash my whole car for that much! HAHA

Twilight: Movie Review

Twilight, Twilight, Twilight. Neither me or any of my guy friends have ever heard of this book or movie. Yet every female I know seems to be obsessed. That being considered, I'm quite shocked that I'd never heard of this at all!

So I saw the movie last night, without having read the book, or having any idea about the movie...... and I was entertained.

I felt like I was at the premiere of the 4th Star Wars movie. Instead of being in a theatre full of nerdy guys, I was in a room of bright eyed girls..... but the energy was the same. You could feel it vibrating through the room.

Truth be told, I slept through the first 10 minutes....LOL. But the rest was good enough to keep me awake!

Twilight is the classic story of forbidden love. Think Romeo and Juliet for vampires. Thankfully, the movie kept a good pace. It developed the characters enough, without letting it drag on. Another massive theme was protection. I'm talking about the ultimate protection for the one that you love. Protection from you, as well as protection from the outside world. And with that protection come ultimate trust. Can she trust that she will always be protected. Think about that..... as far as I'm concerned, you can't have true love without protection and trust, and that's what this movie portrays for these two.

The movie was quite stylised as well, with a very cold colour pallet and cool camera work.

Some parts got pretty "fromage", but it didn't take away too much.

Then there was the moment before the first kiss between vampire boy and human girl. You could feel the anticipation in the room. It was all quite amusing for me actually. Every single female in the audience was holding their breath.... then BANG! Climax! Literally and figuratively! LOL

So guys... take your women to this movie. Like I said, I could sense how hot and bothered every woman in the room was. Not to mention there's a few good action scenes and a few laughs to keep the men entertained.

Plus vampire boy is a crazy good driver.... (I'm in love with Audi now!)

Twilight gets a 8.5 on 10 on the Tripp Scale!

Film Review: Saw 5

First off, I'm a huge horror film fan. And I don't often listen to critics when it comes to those types of movies......

They are what they are, and that's why I like them! And I've always like the Saw series.

Compared to other horror film series, this one actually ties together with it's predecessors. You can kind of tell that it was written backwards, as in they have to make up some back story to fit the current story.

So Saw is all about the death sequences right..... RIGHT! Well, they didn't disappoint! Let's just say they were even given a bit of a twist, so that was a nice change!

You know what though.... I almost dare to say that I'm not getting that grossed out anymore with these movies. I cool storyline does keep these Saw movies somewhat fresh though.

I suggest if you're a Saw fan, and I know there are a ton out there considering how much money this film series has made (the first Saw was supposed to be direct to DVD) you will continue to enjoy the series..... You know, the series where the good guys never win! HA!

14 hours, 54 Minutes, and 58 Seconds

That's the amount of time left until the wedding as of when I've started typing this post. I cannot believe we are this close!! After a crazy 6 weeks we are soooo close, which leaves one very important question! What is going to happen tomorrow morning when the Monday and Manday meet at the alter?!

Opinions range from "happily ever after" to "happily never happens"! And the truth is that at this point we have absolutely no idea as to what is going to happen!

Don't forget you can listen online or on the radio at 8am and WATCH the festivities all happen via webcam at energy1015.com!

Dont forget to give me a call tonight at 1-866-467-1015 and let me know what you think about what's going to happen tomorrow!

Two Strangers in the Night

You know when you meet someone new. That first phone conversation can be pretty nerve racking..... Does the person want to talk to me? Are we going to have anything to talk about? Is it going to be awkward? Am I going to say something stupid?

So many questions, but imagine that you were going to marry that person within two weeks?! Ya, all those little questions don't seem to matter as much eh?! LOL

That's what's going on all this week on my show. We are down to the 5 groom finalists and every night between 7p and 10p I'll be airing segments of a phone conversation between our bride "Monday" and each days groom finalist!

We are going to hear two people fall in love live on the radio! How crazy is that!!! Or the converstation could be a train wreck! Either way, I'll be entertained and you will be too! Trust me!

This is like blind phone date with a wedding attached at the end! Come on, not even the producers of the TV show "Blind Date" could have thought of this!

So make sure to listen every night this week to hear all the drama between 6p and 10p on Energy 101.5!

The Plot Thickens.....

Well, our social experiment "2 Strangers & a Wedding" has been going great so far! We have a fabulous bride who will definitely make a great wife!

Talked to her yesterday about her celebrity crush which started off as Brian Austin Green, and ended up being Kelly Hrudy! Yes, Hockey Night in Canada's Kelly Hrudy! Too funny! Gotta love her!

So I just found out that tomorrow on Page 6 of the Calgary Sun, apparently there will be a picture of Monday, our bride! Ummmm..... Pretty sure no one is supposed to see her until the wedding. K, not pretty sure....positive!

Not to sure what the deal is with this picture, but I'm going to have Kelly Doody (page 6 writer) on with me in the 6pm hour tonight to get the inside scoop...... and apparently she has some other big news for me!

Where else can you find this kind of drama?! LOL!

Talk to y'all tonight!
