Larry Fedoruk
About the show
Author, comedian, broadcaster - Larry Fedoruk's unique perspective offers listeners entertaining and informative radio - definitely not your ordinary talk show. He has a wonderful ability to laugh at life and himself. Known for his warm personality, thorough information and resources, Larry dishes out advice and secrets on current events, shopping, dining, entertaining, traveling and theatre. His topical slices of life are punctuated with news, traffic and weather. (***More show and Larry information is available if you simply scroll down to my FAQ section.)
PLUS - Don't miss Half-Assed Wednesdays on the Larry Fedoruk show. Half Assed Wednesdays is a movement I started many months ago to get something back for the worker. Until our demands are met I will continue to "phone-it-in" on Wednesday afternoons and I suggest you do the same. This means, "don't even try, just get by" on your job. In other words, do it half-assed. There are no memberships, no fees, nothing to sign. As long as you do your job half-assed, one afternoon a week, preferrably Wednesday, you are part of the movement. What are our demands?
1. $10/hr. minimum wage. When do we want it? NOW!
2. A long weekend in February.**
3. Thanksgiving moved to the 2nd Thursday in October, patterning but not copying the American model of a virtual 4-day weekend.
4. No more mandatory front license plates on vehicles in Ontario.
(**Congratulations to us. Yes all of us who have done our jobs half-assed Wed. afternoons for all these months as a "protest" "work slow-down" have achieved the 3rd Monday in February, beginning Feb. 18/08, as Family Day. A long weekend, an extra day off. Way to go!!)

THE 5 THINGS WE LEARNED THIS WEEK
"THE 5" is a weekly feature of the Larry Fedoruk show every Friday afternoon at 4:30. It is not only a review of the week's big topics, it is meant to be a catalyst for your weekend discussions.
(It is updated at the beginning of each weekend.)
From Friday, May 2, 2008
5. LSD INVENTOR DIES - Albert Hofmann, the Swiss scientist who first synthesized LSD back in 1938 passed away this week at age 82. It wasn't until 1943 that he decided to re-examine his earlier discovery and in doing so accidentally absorbed some through his fingertips. The ensuing "trip" during his bicycle ride home from work was a well documented historical moment. Hofmann was always upset that his work was hijacked by a drug-fueled hippie culture and hoped his drug could be used for legitimate psychiatric work. Click here for the rest of his story.4.MILEY CYRUS PHOTOS - Sweet little 15 yr. old "Hannah Montana" was the talk this week when early releases of her Vanity Fair shoot with Annie Leibovitz made the rounds. She also made People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful List but most focused on the bare back/sheet draped/tussled photo that seemed to imply that teenagers have sex. Quickly, she apologized to her fans while Ms. Leibovitz defended the photos stating that parents, handlers etc. (all on the set) approved the photos along with Ms. Cyrus. The Vanity Fair site crashed as millions rushed to get a glimpse. Maybe you can get thru to the site now.
3. i PHONE COMES TO CANADA - Ted Rogers, who must believe that all things "America" belong in Canada announced a deal to provide the i-Phone to Canadians. I don't know that you will get it in time to book your Toronto Bills' tickets as they only said, "sometime this year". During the Rogers annual meeting it was revealed that for the 8 Bills games to be played at "The Ted" (formerly Skydome) Rogers pays $78 million. Hmmm...i Phone or Bills tickets, can you afford both?
2. AUSTRIAN DUNGEON MASTER - What a completely sad, awful, shocking story this week from Amstetten in Lower Austria of Josef Fritzl, retired electrician who kidnapped and kept his daughter captive for the last 24 years, also fathering possibly 7 children with her. Elisabeth F. was thought to have run away to join a cult at age 18 but instead was drugged and kept in a living area below ground. As the story developed it seemed one child died shortly after birth and was incinerated. Three others were raised by Fritzl and his wife, three raised underground in the dungeon. Fritzl's wife claims to have had no idea. The family, minus the imprisoned father, has been reunited under psychiatric care.
1. ROGER CLEMENS - The New York Daily News broke a story this week that baseball star and steroid-denier Roger Clemens had a years long affair with troubled country singer Mindy McCready, whom he met when he was a 28 yr. old married father of two and Red Sox star, and she was a 15 year old aspiring singer he saw in a karaoke bar. He is alleged to have thrown a signed Red Sox jersey on stage to meet her. Clemens' camp immediately acknowledged a relationship but said Mindy was a "family" friend. Later in the week Mindy confirmed the affair (or specifically said she could not refute anything in the Daily News story) and Mindy's mom confirmed the affair saying they came down to breakfast together, went to Vegas together and she knew Mindy would travel to see Roger pitch. Later the Daily News said Roger arranged trips for Paulette Dean Daly , estranged wife of golfer John Daly, to watch him pitch and...well, watch him pitch. Paulette has confirmed they are "friends" then gave a "no comment." The great thing, for those of us who are NOT fans of Mr. Clemens, is that the Daily News claims they have many more revelations and are waiting to release them. How this affects Roger's legal troubles with steroid accuser Brian McNamee remains to be seen. In the mean time here's Mindy when she had seen what we assume to be better days.

FAQ's
(Between all the e mails and running into people "on the street" I have noticed that many of the questions I get begin to repeat themselves. I thought this section might help you find out what you want to know about me or the show. If after reading this segment you still have questions, feel free to e mail me at the address above.)
1. Who does your opening theme song?
It is called Love Today by Mika from his Life In Cartoon Motion CD. The CD also contains his famous Grace Kelly song.
2. Who does that other opening song you use?
That's Life of Illusion by Joe Walsh. It was also used as the main title theme for the movie The 40 Year Old Virgin.
3. Why don't you have more callers on your show like other hosts?
I certainly don't solicit callers the same way other hosts do, because I think if you have something to say that you want to share, you will call. My phone lines are ALWAYS open at 905-688-CKTB, 1-877-610-CKTB, #610 on Bell Mobility, or the dedicated Larry Fedoruk program line 1-877-610-BLUB.
4. What famous actor does Kevin Jack most look like?
George Eads, who plays Nick on the original CSI (Las Vegas).
5. How do you take your coffee?
Black with one sugar. On the top of the lid at the Tim's drive-thru they always write the letters BS. I always look down and say to myself, "I just bought a big cup of BS" and then I chuckle to myself. I do this Everytime.
6. Do you know John Moore and can you introduce me?
No and no.
7. Was Abraham Lincoln gay?
How should I know? There is a group called Log Cabin Republicans, a federated gay and lesbian political organization in the United States. The "log cabin" reference is to Lincoln who many believe WAS gay.
8. What is the most popular brand of roofing tile?
Hard to say. It is a very competitive business. Vande Hey Raleigh has a good reputation.
9. How's it goin?
Not too bad. You?
10. What's new?
I guess I get asked THIS the most. Tough question. Usually pretty depressing cause how often is something new? Then you think, why aren't there more things new? Then you think you should re-structure your whole boring life but you don't, cause, well, who's got time so I usually just answer, "not much, how bout you?"
