Mornings at the Cabin

Need some new 20-second catchy earworm tunes to wash your hands to? We can all only sing "Happy Birthday" so many times...so here are some other options!

The 10th annual Dead North Film Festival is in the books! And the 25th annual Snowking Festival has only just begun! What a weekend it was in Yellowknife!

Apparently Lekter's bottom no longer generates heat. But don't worry, that is by far the least interesting thing discussed in this morning's podcast. A bit strange though, no?

It's Emelie's last day here at the Cabin :( we will miss her dearly! And Ollie ponders living his best northern life...

Late February in Yellowknife. Dog poo simmering just under the snow's surface...waiting to reveal how horrible we've all been this past winter. Thank god AJ is out there harassing/shaming citizens into cleaning up after themselves.

AJ remembers his frustrations while being a permanent resident before becoming a Canadian citizen...but forgets his dog's birthday. Priorities, I suppose.

Ollie stepped into the ring to finally face his destiny this past weekend....as a ring announcer for the Fight For Her Kickboxing event in Yellowknife. And Lekter returns from the dead!

Dead North's festival trailer dropped today! Check it out on their facebook page and get your tickets for this year's film festival at deadnorth.ca. While you're getting tickets, how about supporting the Yellowknife Women's Society by buying a ticket or table for the Fight For Her event happening THIS Saturday at Chateau Nova?! Huh??!

Ollie attended a birthday party this weekend for friend of the Cabin, Bridget Rusk. Curiously, Wheeler was not there. Not so curiously, neither was Lekter. Let the fallout begin!

TODAY IS THE DAY! Stacey Smith from Flowers North joins Wheeler and Lekter to determine which date story was the most terrible, and thus, THE WINNER.

It's the day before Valentine's Day! It's also the 10-year anniversary of Ollie having his first eye-opening experience at a "Bud party"...oh, and his first Olympics experience. And a Terrible Date Story from our very own, Shannon!

Wheeler, Lekter and AJ channel their inner 7-year-olds while talking about the new T-Rex species discovery in Alberta. Also, a check-in on the always entertaining Cabin Radio mailbox and a visit, including several terrible date stories, from friend of the Cabin, Bridget Rusk.

Jill Rivera and Jessica Davey-Quantick join Wheeler to chat about their debut entry into the upcoming Dead North Film Festival in Yellowknife - "Welcome to Tundradome!" ...after Wheeler is done chatting with Uncle Loren about gross feet.

Wheeler, Ollie and Lekter recap the memorable 4 days of events that was Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada, right here in Yellowknife! And Wheeler talks to himself about last night's Oscars for a bit.

Another entrant into the "Best Terrible Date Story" contest (brought to you by our friends at Flowers North) has been revealed - and Ollie is pleased to find it's someone who, themselves, was the terrible date! Also, Yellowknife is the 3rd most romantic city in Canada. Riiight.

Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada's events kick off today in Yellowknife! Our first terrible dates are revealed! And Jesse gets hate mail for playing a catchy song!

Lekter's mom had a lot of feedback after this past Friday's show, including tips for Wheeler's escalating snoring problems...

Last night, an entire nation - including the man who claims to lead it - learned that Kansas City...is NOT in the state of Kansas. Not the important one, anyway. The city, that is. Ugh.

The ongoing saga of Wheeler's snoring at night continues...but at least he's keeping monsters away, right? And what's YOUR terrible date story? Come on...we know you've got one...

Wheeler owed Lekter breakfast this morning due to a lost bet at trivia last night. Ollie was not in on this bet, but was nonetheless put out to not have breakfast bought for him. And someone in England lost a ring. Just a run-of-the-mill, nothing-to-worry-about-certainly-not-the-fate-of-human-existence-ring-which-is-now-in-somewhat-ignorant-hands...

Lekter takes Sarah and Ollie on a journey through time, to last week on Mornings at the Cabin, when Wheeler, Lekter and AJ pushed Dean from NACC to bring out his inner silliness, while exploring their own silly feelings at the same time...

Your favourite British person is back in the north! And your favourite non-British person is back a little further north!

Justin Trudeau-nut scandal continues to heat up, causing a sweet drizzle of delicious caramel ici-...we've lost our train of thought. And is AJ a big reader? No. Does he read at all? No. HAS he read anything?? Uhhh...well...

Cabin Radio (and apparently several other NWT media-esque circles) received a strange email yesterday...could this be related to the perceived influx of ravens people have been noticing in Yellowknife? Probably not. And Yellowknifer Gabriel Darku is set to star in a brand new Netflix production debuting TONIGHT!

Baby Brian Weadick joined Wheeler and Lekter this morning at the Cabin and debuted a brand new song - a tragic tale about a well-intentioned samaritan...who ruined the houseboat hockey rink.
