Once again I’m excited to sit down with another hero of mine Mr. George Barris “King of the Customizers” ! George has been customizing cars for celebrities and tv shows & movies for over 40 years and still going strong into his eighties. George is in town this weekend for the World of Wheels car show at the convention center and he’ll be with us on BT Friday morning. He has customized cars for Gable, Sinatra, Presley , Elton John and even Ringo Starr as well as such famous cars for tv and films such as the 1966 Batmobile, The Munster’s cars and the Monkee mobile and more. Tune in and find out when you can meet George at the World of Wheels this weekend!

Today’s show was the crowning jewel of my career here on Breakfast television with the rocking visit with Dan Aykroyd. He is in town promoting his Patron tequila and his Crystal head vodka so we made some cocktails and he performed off the cuff with Tim Butler and the barely awake blues band. He signed autographs and posed for pictures with fans and truly made the morning exciting. We had planned two cocktails per segment with the drink recipes to go up on our website but Dan decided to just have tequila over ice …so there’s the recipe. A big thanks to the whole crew for pulling off a crazy show without a hitch and thankyou for watching BT !

Well, we had a taste of spring like weather now we’re back to the cold ! I just walked around Alexander avenue shooting a commercial for Dan Aykroyd’s visit to BT and it was winter again . Jenna’s forcast  predicts nine degrees for Sunday, we’re getting close to double digits finally . Of course we’re also looking at flood conditions during the melt, let’s hope it won’t be ‘97 all over again. Do you think the flooding will be bad this year ? Let me know your plan to keep your basements dry, I get a little water every year in my basement but nothing to panic about. Have a great day and thanks for watching Breakfast television

Hey folks , I read Jimmy’s blog about his sleep problems and can totally relate . I am in the middle of another bout with insomnia and it’s driving me crazy so I’m reading your comments with great interest . I’ve tried everything short of a hammer to the head and I’m not a fan of sleeping pills so keep those home remedies coming. Tomorrow night is the 12th annual Celebrity media Lip Sync at the Travelodge ( 20 Alpine avenue) and team Breakfast television is ready to rock ! Tickets are still available and you can get them by calling 255-6000, it’s a great evening of music and fun including a  buffet dinner and auction with all of the proceeds going to the Children’s Wish foundation. Well, it’s back to the show and thanks for watching.

I’m very excited to let all of you know that on March 24th Dan Aykroyd will stop by Breakfast television ! He’s in town to promote his high end Patron tequila and his award winning wines with “bottle signings ” at various MLCC locations throughout Winnipeg. We’ll make him feel at home with live blues music ( he is one the Blues Brothers after all ) and good old southern BBQ fro Lovey’s BBQ and smokehouse. The soul man himself will whip up a couple of great cocktails using his product and catch us up to speed in regards to his career and his latest projects, don’t miss it !

Hey there, I now know first hand that crime is on the rise in Winnipeg ! I took my dog Murphy out this morning about 5:00 am to find two punks in my garage ( I used the word “punks’ because I’m not allowed to use naughty words on this sight). My dog scared them off not to mention what I said to them, but can imagine the nerve of these two morons, I believe in Karma…they’ll get it somewhere down the road. Anyways, I enjoyed having Canada’s funniest man on the show today Mr. Derek Edwards ! He’s performing in Brandon on March 7th and at the Burton cummings theater on the 8th and if you haven’t seen him live you really should, absolutley side splitting. Oh, by the way, happy “Square root day”…yes ,it’s actually Square root day .
