Well, the roads are wet and it is still raining lightly in and around the city right now. The 401 is pretty good. They've cleared up all of the overnight construction. And the eastbound QEW is normally crowded coming out of Burlington. More traffic in 15 minutes. In the news, the Crever Report will be handed over to the feds today, but it could be next week before we find out who they have fingered for the tainted blood supply scandal of the 1980s. The Red Cross is bracing for the worst and has gone on the offensive, insisting they've learned their lesson about screening, and now procedures are tighter than ever. The Supreme Court will be asked to consider the question of retroactive fetal rights at issue is whether or not the mother of a disabled New Brunswick boy

is responsible for a car accident that led to his premature birth and resulted in him having cerebral palsy. This is the first time in Canada a child has been allowed to sue his mother for in utero injuries. More on parenting. The Medeiros of Toronto charged with failing to provide the necessities of life in criminal negligence in the death of their five month old little Sabrina died in hospital Saturday after she swallowed a screw. She and her four siblings had been left home alone. Another dead baby. Another set of charges. This case out of Griffith, Georgia, where a man abducted his six-month-old son from his mom, slammed the baby's head on the pavement in front of her. He was angry the child was bonding with his mother. The baby died. The dad is charged with murder. The news much nicer out of Iowa,

where the seven McCoy babies are still alive and kicking, and doctors are hopeful the septuplets will all survive. The family's getting a lot of help in the form of a new house, diapers, a 15-seat Chevy van. The surviving Dion quintuplets are urging the McCoys to stick to their guns and not turn this multiple birth into a sideshow. By the way, it doesn't look as though the three remaining Dion sisters will get compensation any time soon from Queen's Park. The premier admits the two sides are far apart in terms of money. Michael Jackson's hinting he's about to become a dad again

and Prince will soon have a brother or sister. And the weird one also says Lisa Marie Presley is sorry she didn't bear his child. Like we're all lining up. And Will Smith is about to become a father again. He and mom to BJ to Pinkett plan to marry very soon. That's the latest for Highway 407 Sports and Weather next. Fridays.

Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Well, the Maple Leafs must love the Raptors. Talk about taking the heat off. Raptors sunk to a new low last night, setting a franchise record with their eighth loss in a row. They were pounded by 30 points in Houston, 127-97. Raptors are now 1-10, a huge mess. And the management side took another hit yesterday. Isaiah Thomas officially quit.

The news conference will be held today, but don't be fooled. Anyway, they try to paint this story. The split is ugly. Glenn Grunwald is the Raptors' new general manager. He has quite the job in front of him. I'm sure a whole whack of players will want to leave now with Damon Stunemeyer at the top of the list. Eight games in the NHL last night, and look at this pattern.

Half of the games ended in shutouts. Edmonton skunk St. Louis 3-0. Pittsburgh beat Ottawa 2-0. Buffalo over Boston 5monton skunk St. Louis 3-0. Pittsburgh beat Ottawa 2-0. Buffalo over Boston 5-0. San Jose surprised Philadelphia 3-0. Jersey over the Islanders 5-1. L.A. got by Chicago 4-3. Calgary beat Florida 2-1.

And Vancouver dumped Phoenix 4-2. Maple Leafs play in Denver tonight. And for the first time this season, Glenn Healy will get back-to-back starts and goal. He earned it for Wednesday's effort against the Flyers. Notable baseball trade yesterday. The Atlanta Braves replaced Freddie McGriff by signing Colorado's Andres Galarraga. The Blue Jays could be on the verge of waving goodbye to Joe Carter. Chili Davis could end up as the DH.

But now we hear that Joe is saying out of Kansas City that he doesn't mind being the DH. The top Canadian college player named last night, it's UBC's Mark Nora, a running back. Vanier Cup tomorrow at the Dome, UBC against Ottawa. Tonight at the Dome, it's the Metro Bowl, Cedar Bray against Nelson Lords of Burlington. That's your sports for all the scores, 872 Edge. Toronto weather, light rain ending this morning.

By this afternoon, we're expecting a little sunshine mixed in with the clouds. Morning highs around 6, then temperatures slowly falling, dropping to minus 3 tonight. Tomorrow, mostly cloudy. We'll get about 3 centimeters of snow. That's supposed to start around dawn. Saturday will be windy. Highs around 0, then mostly cloudy with flurries for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Currently, it's 5 degrees. I'm Mary Ellen Benninger. Okay, and now here we are, the 11 to bits, a couple of bigger sons of bitches you ever did meet. Let's bring them on out here, Humble and Fred. Come on out here, you bastards. Come on. 607, Humble and Fred Morning Show. The brother in for Humble Howard. Freddie's here. Freddie, we got a guest today. Yeah, Jean Charest.

All you good conservative boys and girls, be here for that. Right now, don't go away. Here's Oasis, Toronto's new rock, 102.1 The Edge. See you next time. I don't want to be there when you're coming down I don't want to be there when you hit the ground So don't go away Say what you say Say that you'll stay Forever and a day

Yes, I need more time Just to make things right Yes, I need more time Just to make things right So don't go away Thank you. Here's a lady I had the pleasure of seeing about seven months pregnant down at 204 Yonge Street about a month and a half ago. When are you expecting the child? Me? Personally?

Not myself. No, it's not yours. No. Cranberry's at 612 Toronto's New Rock 102.1 The Edge. I understand the things I say Don't turn away from me Cause I've been half my life out there

You wouldn't disagree Do you see me? Do you see me? Do you like me? Do you like me? Standing there Do you notice? Do you know?

Do you see me? Do you see me? To notice, to notice Do you see me? Does anyone care about happiness? Words when I was young We didn't give it up Cause we were raised To see life as fun Take it if we can

My mother, my mother She held me when I was out there My father He loved me He loved me So dear Understand what I've become It wasn't my design

Old people everywhere think so Think better than I am But I miss you I miss cause I loved it cause I liked it and I was out there and you know this

you know you did not find me you did not find me so you wouldn't care my happiness was when I was You did not fight, so you wouldn't care On happiness Whereas when I was young and we didn't give a damn Cause we were raped To see life as fun and take it if we can

My mother, my mother She held me, she held me When I was out there My father, my father He lied to me, he lied to me He said he won't care, he said he won't care He said he won't care He said he won't care

He said he won't care He said he won't care He said he won't care He said he won't care He said he won't care二人のケース We'll be right back. 102.1 The Edge, 616 Cranberries, an ode to my family, featuring my buddy Dolores. And also Oasis, Don't Go Away. January 15th, sold out Edge presentation,

Maple Leaf Gardens, Humble and Fred morning show. And I'm not humble, but Humble is in Florida. Yes, he is. And next week it's the best of Humble and Fred, but Freddy's here live. Yeah, so what? The postal strike continues. See, I don't know.

I have a super box, right? They call it a super box? I don't know what that is. They don't deliver the mail right to your house. They deliver it to a central box thing, and I only clear it out like once a week or something. So they're not delivering mail right now. That's right, Fred. Yeah, but does that mean the flyers have stopped too? No. Because I could really handle losing that junk mail

crap. Now apparently, Danger Boy, you were saying that you actually received your baby bonus check yesterday. I did, yes. So what is this, a goodwill gesture by the post office? Well, Danger Boy's only four months old. I'm very advanced at my age. No, he handed it to me. Well, they knocked on the door and handed it to me.

Well, I was on my way out. Mike the mailman. What's this, a goodwill gesture to make sure that people that really need the money, like old age security? I think so. Exactly. Some have volunteered to do that. Oh, is that what it is? Because I was told that it was basically your pension checks and stuff like that.

Well, that's what she's saying. Guys have volunteered to make sure people to get those checks that they really need. The only that's what she's saying. Guys have volunteered to make sure people to get those checks that they really need. Because that's all he had in his hand was government checks. Which is a good PR move because, you know, the post office isn't the most popular segment of our society.

And soon will be irrelevant and won't be needed anyway. Yes. And you don't want old people to die near Christmas of starvation. That's right. It wouldn't look too good. Or you want to make sure

they have some spirits as well, you know. Support them then, yeah. Checking traffic, my other buddy, Sandro. We still have light rain in and around the city right now. The roads are wet. It's not really doing any damage. Normal volume eastbound QEW

from the 403 to Walkers line. The rest of the QE Gardner stretch is pretty good. Same goes for the 401 through Metro. More traffic in 15 minutes. Sandra's traffic, a presentation of KFC. I'm stuffed. I think I ate three pieces. I had four.

102.1 The Edge. Caught in your mystery Keep it angry Keep it whispy I've fallen down Drunk on your juices I took my head Took my head And tamed it It ain't that easy Fallen to the ground Your dress is torn to shreds And your eyes are crazy

About to save my head I can't forget you But I can't remember Took my hand Took my hand Seemed at you Took my hand Took my hand Tamed at you

Baby, baby We came to love you Today these bastards are leaving Somebody's got to stay Whatever we call you Is just a name Just a name, just a name Cynhyrchu'r ffyrdd o'r ffyrdd. Turn my head Turn my head Say that you

Can Yeah 102.1 The Edge Humble and Fred Show, and that is live with Turn My Head 624, and it is time for Uncle Vince's Diary. Dear Diary, This friggin' postal strike has really got me concerned. A couple of years ago, I went undercover as a mailman. Believe me, boyfriend, there could not have been a

more mailman than me. I loved the job. Apart from the fact that I got to wear that wonderful polyester uniform every day, I quickly discovered that there were many, many lonely women on my route. Over the next few months, I became quite adept at sticking a piece of mail into the slot. The ladies were quite pleased with my special delivery. Sometimes I would set the mood by having the damsels lick stamps or envelopes or whatever they wanted to make sticking. Of course, if ever they were in a hurry, I was always happy to provide them with Uncle Vince's express post. Some of them even tried to pay me, but I told them that I much preferred giving the tip. Just imagine if there had been a strike during my time as male disseminator.

All of those poor women would have been left with only artificial dissemination and scabs. Perhaps most upsetting of all, dear diary, because of this friggin' strike, all of my girlfriends may not receive their Christmas cards this year. Of course, they are pop-up Christmas cards to remind them of me. This is Humble and Fred.

This is 102.1 The Edge. People go to drink away their glue. He sat me down and so began the story of a charmless man. Educated the expensive way. He knows his clara from his Beaujolais. I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Craig. But then nature doesn't make him that way He went na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

He thinks his educated age Has bound his shoes The world protected The world respected He moves inside He's a model of a charmless man He knows the swingers and their cabaret Says he can get in anywhere for free I began to go a little cross-eyed And from this charmless man I just had to hide He talks at speed, he gets no speech

He doesn't see his days are tumbling They're all a-ponging Yet he tries so hard to please He's just so keen, but you need to listen But no one's listening When you put it all together There's the model of a charlatan Charlotte's man He thinks he's educated As those family shares

Well protected That you're expecting And yet he tries So hard to please He's just so keen He needs a lesson And no one's listening And when you put it all together

There's the model of a child That's me Na na na na na na Na na na na na na Na na na There's the model of a shot in the sky.

Information at 630. It's 5 degrees. I'm Mary Ellen Benninger. Traffic off the top with Sandra.

The rain is still coming down in Metro and the surrounding area. The highways are starting to get busy in the usual spots. According to Freeway Frankie on Star 102, southbound Parkway bunching up now around Don Mills, westbound 401 through Kennedy, and eastbound QEW from the 403 to Walker's Line. More traffic in 15 minutes. In the news, UN weapons inspectors, including Americans, are back in Baghdad today looking for nasty bits, the biological weapons. The Russians taking bows for brokering this deal. The Americans aren't completely convinced of Iraq's good intentions. Their military buildup in the Persian Gulf continues. They now have two aircraft carriers parked in the Gulf and stealth and B-52 bombers are massing

nearby as well. Two people are dead following an early morning house fire in North Oakville. Five more people have been taken to hospital. The house was gutted. No cause yet or names. GO Train, bracing for the impact of a number of lawsuits filed by the 50-plus people hurt in this week's accident at Union Station. The suits appear inevitable, but filing may wait until after a cause for the crash has been determined. The black box taken off the train shows it did not break in time to prevent the rear-ender, so this looks like human error. The postal strike continues, and businesses, especially mail-ordering catalog companies, are crying poor.

Columbia House record firms already laid off staff. The workers could probably get hired by courier companies who can't keep up with demand. Now, talks to end this postal strike continue. Canada Post hinting they may resolve the outstanding issues this weekend. That's the latest. Fred Scott Sports. Well, the Raptors really crapped out in Houston last night. They were beaten by 30 points, 127-97. They're now, what, 1-10.

They've lost eight in a row, which is a franchise record. This on the heels of Isaiah Thomas officially quitting yesterday. Glenn Grunwald is the general manager now. He was an assistant to Isaiah, so he's running the show now, and he'll have his hands full, believe me. Eight games in the NHL last night. Look at the shutouts. Edmonton skunk St. Louis 3-0.

Pittsburgh beat Ottawa 2-0. Buffalo beat Boston 5-0. San Jose surprised Philadelphia 3-0. Jersey beat the Islanders 5-1. L.A. got by Chicago 4-3. Calgary over Florida 2-1. And Vancouver dumped Phoenix 4-2. Maple Leafs play in Denver tonight. Glenn Healy will get

the start in goal again. He earned it for that performance on Wednesday. Notable baseball trade. The Atlanta Braves have replaced Freddie McGriff by signing Colorado's Andres Galarraga. Not really a trade I guess, is it? A transaction. Or free agent signing. Whatever you want to call it.

And the top Canadian college player was named last night. It's UBC's Mark Nora, a running back. That's your sports for all the scores. 872 Edge. Toronto weather.

Westbound 401 in the east end. Southbound Parkway south of the 401. And eastbound QEW out of Burlington. It doesn't look like the wet roads are causing any extra slowdowns so far.

102.1 The Edge, Superfly, or just simply Fly, Sugar Ray from Florida. We present the band along with 311 Wednesday, November 26th at The Warehouse. It is 6.51, Humble and Fred morning show, and Freddie, you wanted to talk a little bit about Seinfeld. We were talking about this off-air, and I was saying about how much I enjoyed it last night, because for those who didn't see it, basically they did the show backwards. In reverse. So it started with the end and ended with the beginning. Exactly. And you didn't like it.

Well, I just, I never, I didn't get the point of it, you know. Like, why? And I thought as it unfolded and they gave the actual graphic saying one hour earlier, two minutes earlier, I thought that sort of defeated the purpose. I thought if they were going to do that, you'd sort of have to figure that out yourself.

Yeah, but then again, if they did that, though, you just don't know how far back in time it is. I guess. But you know what? It doesn't matter. It was way too much work for me. Really? I'd rather just sit and flop and watch.

You'd just sit there brain dead. Have it work the conventional way. And I'm not one of these guys that's all over Seinfeld either this year. I know the scripts have been a little weaker. But it can't keep, like anything else, it can't keep getting better and better and better every time out.

I mean, there's got to be some plateaus. Absolutely. This show is testament to that. It's been three years since that show has been really hot, though. Whatever. Story-wise. What's that Canadian girl doing?

But last night, I just didn't get the point, Bill. Okay, Fred. Well, that's okay. I like that, though. You just like to sit in front of the TV, you know, rubbing his gut, doing the Al Bundy thing. Whatever, Bill. That works. Fred does not put his hand down his pants.

Doesn't he? How do you know? No, not down the front, anyway. Maybe the back, the odd time. In days gone by, a promise was sacred. It wasn't given lightly or in haste. Throughout the history

of time, promises have been made and kept with a diamond. Because a diamond is a universal symbol of commitment. It's a declaration

of love and an emblem of trust. When you choose a diamond from people's jewelers, you get our promise, the People's Promise, one that isn't given lightly or in haste.

We promise that a diamond's weight and quality will never be overstated and that your diamond is guaranteed for five years. That's the People's Promise. No other jewelry store makes this promise. No other jewelry store can. No other jewelry store makes this promise. No other jewelry store can. For over 75 years, People's Jewelers has been helping people keep their promises of commitment, love, and trust. And just as no other stone symbolizes a promise better than a diamond, no other store symbolizes a diamond better than People's Jewelers, the diamond store. better than people's jewelers.

The Diamond Store. I don't want to work. I want to play Monty Trump all day. These are the new rules of the road. Rule number 16. Weather reports do not apply to you. They're being written by RAV4, the rugged sport utility from Toyota.

The westbound 401 is down to a slow crawl now through Scarborough. According to Leonstar102, it's the same story on the eastbound 401 through Mississauga Road and from the airport to Dixon. Northbound 410, a little bit crowded north of the 401. East QE Gardner is slow through Burlington, Mississauga, and around the Humber. Normal stuff there. We have an ongoing accident downtown at Church and Shooter. a new connection westbound Eglinton approaching Bellamy. More traffic in 15 minutes. In the news, it doesn't take much for business to respond to safety issues.

GO has already introduced new measures in the wake of this week's accident that sent 54 to hospital. That was because of the rear ender at Union Station. And preliminary reports are human error was to blame for the crash. The black box shows the train didn't break to avoid it. GOE is bracing for a raft of lawsuits from the injured, but is moving quickly to reassure a shaky public that the system's still safe. Yesterday, trains using Union Station took more time, and they have to wait now until tracks are completely cleared before they can move, even if that means delays.

The Red Cross insists the blood supply is now safe thanks to tough new screening procedures. The positive spin is being put on things as the Crever report is about to be handed in to the feds. We'll get details next week about whom Mr. Justice Horace Crever blames for the tainted blood scandal of the 1980s. Justice Horace Creaver blames for the tainted blood scandal of the 1980s. Finally, an answer to the mystery why some people live years with AIDS and never get sick. They apparently have white blood cells called helper T-cells that specifically attacks the AIDS virus. People who succumb to AIDS quickly usually have very few or none of the T-cells. More good news about AIDS. Fewer American babies are contracting the disease from their infected mothers,

and the credit goes to earlier testing and treatment. Flu season's officially upon us. Sounds like influenza type A will be the bugaboo this year. It's already cropped up in Maryland and New York. Time to get your annual shot. People used to talk about having a midlife crisis in their 40s, which made no sense because, on average, few of us lived to be 80 or 90. Well, we do now.

As a matter of fact, life expectancy globally, on average, is now 80 years old or almost 30 years longer than it was at the start of the century. That's the latest. Sports and weather next. Wheat Sheaf Tavern, historical fact number four. 1965, Sidney Granger spontaneously combusts while arguing that the Leafs will win the Stanley Cup. Yes, right. The Wheat Sheaf.

When you think of Canada, you think of hockey. It's our great Canadian game. Don Cherry here to tell you about another great Canadian, Mr. Transmission. Since 1963, Canadians have trusted Mr. Transmission for professional transmission, clutch and drive line repairs. And they back it up by a nationwide warranty.

You're the best of mine. It is 5 past 7, Time for Sports, brought to you by Mr. Transmission. And here's Fred. Well, the Raptors sunk to a new low last night, setting a franchise record with their eighth loss in a row. They were pounded by 30 points in Houston, 127-97.

Raptors now, what, 1-10? Just a horrible mess, and the management side took another hit yesterday. Isaiah Thomas officially quit. The news conference will be held today, but don't be fooled by any of this. Any way they try to paint the story, the split is ugly. Glenn Grunwald is the Raptors' new general manager. He was an assistant. He has quite the job in front of him. I'm sure a whole pack of players will want to leave now

with Damon Stunemeyer at the top of the list. Stunemeyer, by the way, scored 25 points last night in Houston. Eight games in the NHL last night. Half of them featured shutouts. Edmonton skunk St. Louis 3-0. Pittsburgh beat Ottawa 2-0. Buffalo over Boston 5-0. San Jose surprised Philadelphia 3-0.

Jersey beat the Islanders 5-1. L.A. got by Chicago 4-3, Calgary beat Florida 2-1, and Vancouver dumped Phoenix 4-2.

Notable baseball signing yesterday, the Atlanta Braves replaced Freddie McGriff by signing Colorado's Andres Galarraga. Blue Jays could be on the

verge of waving goodbye to Joe Carter. Chili Davis could end up as the DH, but we hear stories out of Kansas City now that Joe says, hey, I'll be the DH full-time. I don't care. Top Canadian college player named last night is UBC's Mark Nora. A running back, Vanier Cup at the Dome tomorrow. UBC

It's 4 degrees. I'm Mary Ellen Benninger, and Sandra has traffic. The eastbound QEW is really slow through Oakville and Mississauga, especially Mississauga Road to Highway 10. It's just volume. It's busy again around the Humber. Eastbound 401 packed from the airport to Dixon. Southbound 404 Parkway from Shepherd to Lawrence. Westbound 401 is crawling in the east end.

And watch out for a stalled car. Westbound York Mills, west of Don Mills in the center lane. More traffic in 15 minutes. In the news, fiscal physician, heal thyself. Turns out there are 3,500 federal staffers who owe $28 million in outstanding student loans. And most of the deadbeats work for either Revenue Canada or Human Resources, which administers the student loan program. More money notes this morning. The TD Bank, the first to report its fiscal 97 profits, and they topped a billion dollars.

That's up 19% from last year. Keep that in mind if you're mortgage shopping. By the way, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's predicting housing starts will increase by nearly 10% next year. And if we're not moving, we're fixing up the place where we already live. The group predicts we will spend almost $25 billion next year on home renovations.

That's the latest from Fred Scott Sports. Oh, how about those Raptors? Man, do they bite big or what? 1-27-97, a 30-point loss in Houston last night.

This on the heels of Isaiah Thomas officially quitting yesterday. The new guy is Glenn Grunwald. He was in there as an assistant. Apparently he's got a pretty good reputation in the NBA, so the Raptors might be all right. Unless, of course, all the players start whining about wanting to leave, like Damon Stoudemire. Eight games in the NHL last night.

You said I was his friend Which came as a surprise I spoke into his eyes I thought you died alone A long, long time ago alone not me we never

and Urban Hymn is the name of the album. 740 on the Humble and Fred Morning Show. And Freddie, we're going to talk a little bit about this incident

that happened in Boston with one of the bands that are quite popular around these parts called Everclear. Apparently Everclear was doing a show. Sandra, feel free

to take part if you wish to. Oh, thanks. Everclear was doing this show in Boston and three members of the New England Patriots were there. Drew Bled doing this show in Boston and three members of the New England Patriots were there.

Drew Bledsoe, the quarterback, and a couple of linebackers. Sure. So the original story that we had heard was that Art, the lead vocalist

with Everclear, invited these guys up on stage to do a stage dive, which they did. Really? Which they did. Anyway, which they did.

During the regular season? Yeah. Oh, wow. You know, I don't know. Tipsy. Who knows? Anyway, which they did. During the regular season? Yeah. Oh, wow. They're, you know, I don't know. Tipsy. Who knows? Anyway, so they ended up, Drew and one of the guys jumped out, no problems, landed on the floor, you know, feet first.

They were okay. Third guy weighs about 325 pounds, landed on a little girl. Get out. Yeah, he landed on a little girl and he ended up giving her neck, back, shoulder, everything else, injury. She's in hospital now. So what the deal is now is they're talking lawsuits. I guess they are. They're talking lawsuits.

This girl's family, even though it hasn't been confirmed, is rumored to be talking to lawyers as we speak. And now this guy from Everclear is saying that he never told these guys to jump up on stage. Oh, he's trying to pass the buck. I don't know if he's trying to pass the buck or he's just trying to not lose a buck. Something to that effect. Because Bledsoe is worth millions. Would you not soak him for everything he's worth? Well, yeah.

Although, will he be involved or was it the big fat guy? Well, it was the linebacker, but they all represent the New England Patriots. So, you know, my point is that maybe she you know, she can take them for a couple of million dollars. I guess they should. At least season tickets and maybe some free aftershave because the guy who owns the Patriots is, what's his name? Gillette or something.

Yeah, that guy. Anyway, let's check traffic right now, shall we, with Sandra. Well, it's still raining off and on around Metro. The roads are wet. The highways are busy in the usual spots. Westbound 401 is packed through Scarborough. Eastbound 401 from the airport to Dixon. Eastbound QE Gardner is crawling through Oakville and around the Humber.

The lakeshore is a pretty good alternate, and you may want to avoid the intersection of Kennedy and Steeles in Brampton because of a serious accident. More traffic in 15 minutes. Sandra's Traffic, a presentation of Global TV. Global's Extreme Screen Friday. Is it too late? No. What are you doing, Mulder? I need your help on something. At a special day and time tonight, The X-Files.

Why didn't you tell me? Then, author Jose Chung survived The X-Files. Now he's a marked man under Frank's protection. This book will be written. Charles Nelson Reilly guest stars on Millennium. Global's got it starting at 8 tonight. Later at midnight. Extreme Scream continues on South Park.

Get me down from here! Well, it was a rainy day in Pizzaville, the day of the big car fuffle at City Hall. Some of the townspeople wanted Pizzaville to deliver its pizza in 30 minutes, like the big pizza conglomerates. Others pleaded passionately

against such a thing, like Vinnie Cal conglomerates. Others pleaded passionately against such a thing, like Vinnie Calvera. Believe me, delivering a pizza in 30 minutes is ridiculous. You see, my fellow Italians, I don't believe you can make a traditional Italian-style pizza and then bake it properly in real stone oven and deliver in 30 minutes. Forget about it. Aha. That's why when you order a pizza from Pizzaville, we tell you it will take about 36 minutes. Why six minutes to you?

But to us it's all the difference in making authentic Italian-style pizza. Arrivederci, everybody. So, call Pizzaville at 736-3636. That's 736-3636. P's 736-3636. Pizzaville. Better tasting pizza at a conglomerate price. Mrs. Sloan, you're the best arithmetic teacher in the world, so I bought you this bell quick change card. Didn't do your homework, Max?

Take you out for dinner, maybe. That's about it. See, that's the way it works, Bill. Talk show, 102.1 The Edge. She's got a checkered reputation Visualizing syncopation Ratchet fairy on the funny place Southern belt is on the northern stage Hello, hello

I told him we get buried under a bunch of dirt and worms eat our bodies. I guess I should have told him the truth, that most of us go to hell and burn eternally. But I did not want to upset him. 102.1, the Ed Reard talk show in there with Hello, Hello. It's 7.48, it's the Humble and Fred morning show. The brother and frer, Humble Howard. What was that?

We're not sure. That was a little mistake. That was a little mistake. That happens, Freddie. It went on the brother for Humble Howard. What was that? We're not sure. That was a little mistake. That was a little mistake. That happened. So, Freddy, you know, it just went on the air. It's gone. Absolutely. Okay.

Coming in after 8 o'clock, John Shrey again. They phoned us and asked if John could pay us a little visit, and we said sure. No calling nor begging was necessary. So, you know, of course he's coming here for a reason. I don't know exactly what it is. I imagine he's going to be trying to promote or push something. I think he's just coming by to say hi, Fred. You know, I think that you had a pretty good impact on him last time.

That's what I heard anyway. That's great. But we have some questions to ask him. That's great. Moving on. Pretty insignificant. Pretty insignificant, the PC party. I mean, there's a line of questioning right there.

They are for now. What's the use, John? I want to ask him some trivia. Do you? I want to see how sharp he is on trivia. One of the prime ministers, one of our prime ministers was born today. Really? Yeah, one of the past prime ministers.

What year? 1841. If, John, you're listening, I'm going to give you a, that's all I'm giving you. 1841. I know the answer. John Crutcher. Yeah, that's a beauty. 5.55 p.m. on the observation deck of the Empire State Building.

Sabrina girl, you've got to stop watching those old movies. That must be crazy. We're just unbelievably desperate. I mean, who flies to New York City just to meet someone you've gotten to know through email? Jonathan boy, you've just got to stop watching those old movies.

I wonder if he'll even show. Who am I kidding? She's not coming. Well, at least I got to do some shopping. I didn't even know Dockers can't wear hat clothes for women. Man, I can't believe I bought a new outfit for this. At least I'll get a lot of wear out of this Dockers khaki wear. He's probably a psycho anyway. He's probably some lunatic anyhow.

Richard. Mind if I call you Dick? Yes. Anyways, Dick, have you heard about Rumors? I am not a cook. No, no, Rumors is the new board game where friends take turns spreading rumors about each other.
