If they are going to lean into podcasts, they should have a dedicated NFL show on the weekends. Know your audience.

Rebroadcasting podcasts is just cringe. Why exactly is anyone listening to the podcast on the radio, which is pumped full of lengthy ad breaks versus simply downloading the podcast? Unless you love picking up segments with no idea what's going on and missing huge chunks of discussion there's no plus side to this at all.

This station is going to be fully defunct and playing 1940s hits by Christmas for sure.

At BK you can also get 8 nuggets (used to be 10) for $2.99. My kids love them.



I'll need to test out your world class milkshakes theory; they're definitely good, but that's a pretty big claim to make.

Fries are good, although I prefer the onion rings. Burgers are fine (I always add lettuce and tomato to balance things out).

The last time I had the $2.99 Burger King nuggets, I tried to give one to my dog.

She looked at me like “that’s not food” and left it on the ground.

Wasn't BK the only big fast food chain to retain operations in Russia?

No Good.

She also never liked Pork Chops until I sous vibe and butter pan fried her a 1"cut so it was still juicy and tender. My in-laws always ask for my Grilled Salmon when they visit. So I am in total agreeance with you but like to take it a step further and make sure I am eating at a restaurant that serves great food not just a real restaurant.

Flames released their scheduled today and sent an email out to season ticket holders (and I'm guessing other people on their list). Bottom of the email said all games are broadcast on Sportsnet 960 radio. I guess they quietly renewed the radio rights, or had a contract into next season already signed?

When can we come over?

Transitioning from not liking Burger King to humble bragging about how you ruin restaurants for people because you're the god that Gordon Ramsay worships in his closet in the morning is pretty legendary posting.

That I think it was said in full seriousness makes it even better.

Hoping for more elitist foodie blurbs in the future. The more off-topic the thread the better.

It says it on the website link too.

I believe the only person saying the contract was up was the person who originally posted this rumour, so he could just have been wrong.

Boomer leaving certainly threw fuel on the fire of speculation though.

I understand why Redlan wrote that; it’s a thing that he is passionate about and can tell the difference so he only chooses to spend money on things that he knows are better.

No different than any of us with our passions. I won’t wear or let my kids wear certain types of soccer boots while others don’t care. I buy certain technology.

Really though…Redlan, do you take reservations?

Ps love the whopper!

So the fan960 is going to become food960? All food all the time?

Calgary eats here?

If this is where we're at on this thread I can tell everyone that the wife bought a new flat top for the deck. We fired it up this weekend and di some smash burgers. American cheese and fresh buns. My goodness it was glorious.
