AJ and the Bear

What an absolute pleasure to meet the legend himself today - Jerry Lawrence.

He's a great guy and trust me, he was absolutely delighted to hear your calls and your kind words today. I apologize if you couldn't get through, the phone lines were absolutely jammed with people wanting to talk to Jerbear about the good old days, especially "Hello Metro". I am going to try to find some of those tapes, they sounds absolutely hilarious!

It really says a lot about a person when he's been off the air for so long, yet he still has this rabid fan base. I really can't say enough about Jerry Lawrence! It's so great that the Lewis Lake provincial park has been re-named after him. He seemed truly humbled when he was talking about that with AJ today. We almost received more calls off the air with people wanting me to pass little messages on to him. It was great and unfortunately, the two hours went by much too quickly!

A huge thank you to Jerbear for taking time out of his schedule to pay the Hotline a visit. Much, much appreciated.

Tomorrow, I think AJ mentioned Peter Martell, the Ultimate Cage Combat promoter, will be in. You'll remember he and AJ had a on-air duel last year on the Hotline. That was classic. So, there will be fireworks tomorrow for sure, bet on it! I wonder if we can set some sort of cage on the front lawn of the building to have a real match! AJ, you better start training ASAP!

Until tomorrow,

Amber

P.S. I was complaining about the weather today with Peter Coade and he says July is the foggiest month in Nova Scotia, so we really shouldn't be complaining. That's no fun though, is it?
