Humble And Fred Thank You

Nice to hear you guys back together and doing what you do best. I just rolled through the first show and had some good laughs - it brought back a lot of great memories about why I got into radio in the first place.
Best of luck gents - I'll be listening!
Cheers
James

Best news ever, glad to hear you both again.
Gavin Waston

I read about you in that Toronto Star and I listened to your first podcast! Great job Ill be listening....
Andre

Well, there goes 92:28 out of my day I won't ever get back! Congrats on the new venture. There is no such thing as bad publicity, so obviously the front page of the Star's Entertainment section led a lot of people like me to the web site. That was fun, what a blast from the past.
Jim Snider

Great to see you guys back on the air and together again. Hope Mr Goo Head finds his way back on air. The last i heard about him he was jerking chickens at a restaurant in Brampton. Good Luck guys
Eric Finlay


Bravo and felicitations on your new entertainment adventure. Just finished listening to the inaugural podcast while tidying up around the house.
The show had a great pace and rhythm. The occasional song thrown in was a good idea. Lumby's little audio post card was a nice touch.

I listened to your first show. Exciting isn't it? Doing it and controlling it all yourself.
Some of the content was a little too ummmm "blue" for my taste but I had the opportunity to click it off but didn't.
Rob Reid

I'll be listening!
Drew Williams

Hey guys! I am still listening to your first show and I think its great! Love the music selection and really looking forward to your shows with Alan and George. Glad to hear your voices again I feel like I am a freshman in high school again.
Dave Reid

Great first show! good to see you guys can really be yourself...swear whenever you want! not the same restrictions as commercial radio! hey, maybe you can open the studio to anyone who wants to come down and be part of your studio audience? I'd come for sure!
Marc Balaiche

Just finished listening to your first show on the web. I'm so happy to see you guys back together doing the stuff that made me spit out my breakfast milk back in the Edge and Mojo days. I've switched almost completely to listening to podcasts for my radio entertainment. Terrestrial radio sucks the big one right now - maybe forever. Long live Humble and Fred online!
Hearing the Goohead song again - cool!
Hearing the Amsterdam-pee-in-hooker story - not so much cool as funny-peculiar
Keep being weird, and inappropriate for my 8 yr old's ears

"Very enjoyable. Especially liked the bits about water sports and whizzing and what not. Hoping this will be the focus of future shows."
Phil Evans

The first show was great. Love the format! It allows me to listen to your entire show, not just the 30 minutes or so I used to hear while I was in the car. This little venture of yours may just catch on! All the best going forward.
Keith Abbott

Hey, just read in Toronto Star and listening to podcast as I'm writing this. I'm thrilled that you guys are back together again, the best 1-2 combination ever on Toronto Radio. I've missed you guys! I think the format is gonna be great; I really enyoyed the banter on Mojo and this is even better because you have the freedom you didn't have on radio.
Carmine Forgione

Well
It's about frickin time you guys! I missed you, after you left the edge. I couldn't keep track where u guys were. I'm going to listen to your sow as soon as I put the little guy to bed. No not my pet midget, my toddler.
Angela Maiorano-Thurston

Enjoyed todays show. What a good idea to circumvent the traditonal approach to boadcastiing. Scew them.
Karen McConnell

GREAT BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU TWO NICE TO HEAR AGAIN
John Kerr

Excellent first show. Good luck guys !
Just the way I remembered it way back in the CFNY days.
Brad

I just read in the Toronto star today that both of you are not employed by a radio station anymore. I find this quite surprising, since you are a household name. Someone should be capitalizing on your fame and reputation.
Well you are trail blazers so all the very best in your internet launch. May the sponsors or some radio station beat a hasty path to your door.
Candace

Hey guys, just a quick note from a listener from way back. I'm not sure what the radio execs. are doing this afternoon but I'm guessing there on line and listening.
Welcome back!!

I compliment you on what you are doing. Hard Work ahead! Fred don't try any heavy lifting. All the best Humble. Great article in the Star.
John Donabie

Congratulations and best wishes to two of the funniest guys anywhere. I will be listening and will ask my friends to do the same.
Scott (June Rowlands) Shelson.

Gentlemen, finally something appears to go right in the universe hearing you back together!! Wishing you success!!
Peter Kish

Great article in the Star today. Wishing you the very best in your new endeavour. Keep well ...
Uncle Ron

well after the first installment of the new format i have managed to climb into my chair after laughing my ass off, or maybe it was the bad Ritz crackers and Tia Maria so after the Toronto Star article i just had to check the site an then the first hour show i was hooked so good to hear you unleashed to do as you wish I do have one small problem....at 62 years old I'm outside your demographic.....does this mean I have to listen to a sanitized version? I think that the internet is a place to reek havoc fit for you both - go to it guys. Well the show is over till Monday so i have to get more Ritz and a fresh bottle of Tia Maria.
Ric

I thought you sucked shit when your first started at CFNY. However, I soon became a loyal listener and fan enjoying some hilarious radio moments.
I am sure that your new show will be a huge success! I am listening to the first show now and I think it is awesome. I'm hooked already.
Michael


Glad to have you back as part of my day. You two clowns have been bookmarked and I look forward to laughing my ass off like I havent done in years. Good luck!!
Larry Clayson

Welcome back boys! So excited to hear you 2 together again on "radio" All the best for your new show!
Old CFNY listener.
Helen

Guys this is great. I used to listen to you back in the 80's when you were on CFNY. I was sad when you left, now you are back, this is terrific. Keep it going!
Kent

Awesome to have you back! I love the podcast, H&F raw was a favorite of mine...glad to see you running on that track. Who am I kidding, your time at that station that I no longer listen to, were a reason to not hit the snooze button in the morning. And a special shout out to Uncle Vince dut dut dut....
All the best to this going the way you want it. You didn't ruin radio, it was the dough heads looking at the $$ that did. I'm sure you will fit right in on the internet with all the other wacky shit on it :-)
Looking forward to the next podcast. keep it coming guys! And maybe give a thought to getting some cameras in your desolate studio, seeing you guys ply your craft would be a hilarious treat lol
Jen

Just read about your endeavor in The Toronto Star.
All the best guys. Hope you are tremendously successful and make tons of money.
An old friend of Freddie P's.
Gail Rees (Downard)

Welcome back. Long time no hear. Just investigating what the regular format is going to be, but I'll be there as often as possible. Considering I'm unemployed, pretty safe to say that's going to be every day!
I've been a fan since before The Edge: your show there was the best on Canadian radio.
How Soon Is Now is a fine way to start the selective musical interludes, regardless of the criteria. If that's any indication of the quality you'll be broadcasting, it's all going to be good.
Anyway, I have to go now...to find something to do. Maybe a job.
Hugh

Just tuned into your internet show.........it was great!! Don't know why you guys are not on mainstream radio!! Will your show be on every day? Great to hear you guys again!! Phil


Hey guys (and hello, Freddie P...)
Just thought I would wish you good luck and all the best on your first day. I've been following your progress in setting up...looks like you two have put alot of thought into this, so congrats.
Necessity is the mother of invention, but beyond that I think you guys have hit on something that will either grow slowly and consistently, or catch on like wildfire. Whichever way it plays out, the online world and mobile have emerged as the preferred delivery platform for just about everything these days, and radio is no different.
Go get 'em. Much success.
And I'm sure Melnik would let you borrow his fart machine, if needed.
Gibbie from the Patch


Good luck tomorrow! So glad you're back, you've nooooo idea. Stopped listening to 102.1 right after you left and have tried to follow you ever since. (You won't remember me but I did write in with a letter entitled, "rage against the farts" when you were with 99.9 and you did read it on the radio - unfortunately using both my first and last name...sigh.) My friend emailed me to let me know you're back and, being one of your biggest fans, I could not be more pleased! I just listened to the goohead piece, laughed outloud! Can't wait for Fred's laugh - it just keeps the jokes going for that much longer.
Mary Kelly

I hope you both come out with guns a blazing and wangs flapping
I going to be great to hear you both together again with no constraints
