HUMBLE AND FRED FAN E-MAIL
Wow, what a blast - LA Chris!! Just hearing his voice again brought it all back. I often wondered what had happened to him - it was great to hear him back on your show. If my memory serves me correctly (and it may not), your initial call to that 7-11 was to ask who ever answered for their Oscar predictions. You stumbled on LA Chris and the rest is a brilliant piece of Humble and Fred history.
Congrats on all your recent successes!!
As a certified 100%r (and a certified H&F stock holder :-) I'm thrilled to be along for the ride!
Cheers,
Patti Wilton

Good Morning Fellers,
Thanks for that pleasant bit of nostalgia from the Old H&F days: you tracked down and interviewed LA Chris! Of all your bits at 102.1, I think your phone interviews with LA Chris were maybe the one piece I really looked forward to. In a world full of arseholes, this was (and is) one genuine dude. I thought it was a bittersweet interview: his voice sounds the same, as does his disposition (laid back), but you get the sense that things haven't necessarily moved forward as much as he would have liked in the better part of 20 years. However, with that in mind, and with the possibly that LA Chris might get the chance to read from your postings, I'd like to send out a message for him: There is nothing more important than family and friends; setting aside whatever goals you might have to take care of those close to you, shows considerably more character than anything else you could ever do. So, Well Done! (And listen, if these Ass-Clowns can work an old kitchen table, some paint and a few shitty mics, into a podcast and then into a money making venture, at their advanced age and declining health, well hell... you might just get the chance to do all the travelling you want. I guarantee that if you make it back up to Toronto, your old fans - and some new ones - would still treat you as royalty!)
Regards!
Dave O'Steele.

Hi Guys,
Having Sylvester Stallone call in as LA Chris the other day was a great way to kick off the New Year.
Keep up the great work; stay stiff!

Hey boys,
Congratulations on landing the new radio deal. Funny how radio didn't think there was a place for the type of show you do, so you turn it into a podcast where you can do what you want how you want for as long as you want and they are the light if how good it is. I think it's a great deal for you and gives us fans another opportunity to listen to more Humble and Fred. Congratulations again!!
I have a question. Is there anyway you can get a live video feed when you do your Panel of Women show? I was hoping you can get a camera on your interns because I got an over under pool on how many times they are going to play touchy cocky with themselves.
Love show and I wish you great success with the new deal.

Hi Guys,
Congrats on the Astral deal.. so glad to hear the podcast will continue. I can't think of any podcasts that are turned into content for radio, so i suspect you may be the first to do this. As Fred said, others will follow you.
Keep up the great work!

Just a quick email to say congratulations for your new Astral Media deal, more power to spread the glory that is Humble & Fred Radio.
One question for Humble, you were talking about an app that Ladyfriend has on her phone that plays cover songs. could you find out the actual name of it and email it back to me. I searched for it and couldn't find it.
Thanks,

Hey guys,
As per your quick discussion yesterday regarding women's hockey and what their V's look like while playing; I've always wondered if women hockey players shower together in one big shower like dudes do. Maybe you guys can get Tessa Bonhomme on the show one day and non chalantly crowbar a few of these beauty questions into the interview.
Once again, the fart talk never gets old. Always find myself belly laughing like a 7 year-old when you do.
Thanks for the laughs, guys

Hi guys,
I am just listening to yesterday's (Jan. 7) podcast to find out that the donated food is still in your studio. It doesn't really bother me that you guys are dipping into it (I know you guys are desperate people). However, how needy can the Vaughan Foodbank be to not pick up the donations until now????????? Christmas and the holidays would have been a perfect time to provide this food for the less fortunate people.
All I can say is WTF.

Fantastic having you back from break, with an almost great (and pleasantly lengthy) show. As a raving 100% 'R, I'm loving what you guys are doing, and happily spread the gospel which is your podcast to my friends dotting the globe. That said... what sort of bullshit was that today? That sort of lame mocking of a guest - yes, even a Quebecois - was as cringe worthy as it gets. You fuckers are better than that. Way better. I was actually in the process of reaching for the fast forward button, and losing my 100% status, when Howard thankfully shut that painful bit down. Other than that, I always liked Phil's opening song, but have to admit I didn't miss it. And finally, Saul Korman is not Jewish, or Greek. Or Jewish - Greek. Or Greek - Jewish. I'm pretty sure he's Dutch. He has tiny hands.

Harrow Pee-Poe!!
First let me wish you and the entire Humble and Fred Radio group a New Year filled with great success, good health and many joyous moments. (by the way, I do this until the 15th, but only on the first message)
Great First Podcast of the year. We 100%ers are waiting to hear the big news, although I am a little saddened to hear you are going "Clean in 13". I guess from now on my favorite promo for your show will have to change to: "Humble and Fred. We say Frig for breakfast, if the censors let us." To be honest, I don't think reducing the amount of swears will have any impact on the quality of your show. Look at all the great interviews you boys have done where little or no swearing was involved. Plus, you still got great stories that make us all laugh our balls off. (Handy J's on a bus to Moosejaw, Ladyfriend stepping in Dog diarrhea, and my all-time favourite, Freddie's Cardiac episode at the Caribbean buffet. Absolutely legendary!!)
Can wait to see all the great things that will happen in 2013 for the show and I am so happy that we are all along for the ride.
Thank you for the entertainment and have a great show!!!
Antonio

Harow peepoo,
Just wanted to wish a very merry Coca-Cola Christmas to "Rubbed Raw" Humble and a very happy non-denominational winter celebration of no specific origin to "Fractured Phallus" Freddie.
Have a great show and let's start a campaign for all us 100%ers to make a new years resolution to get 3 new subscribers to the Humble and Fred Podcast!!!
Antonio V. Ramos
I hear you reference Fred Ball, distributor of the Humble and Fred t-shirts, quite often. However I have not yet heard you reference a way to obtain one of these shirts. I hear you giving them away freely to your guests, but given my work schedule (and the fact that I'm not terribly famous) I don't foresee myself being a guest on your program. Is there a way of purchasing one of these shirts? I'd wear it proudly if I could get my hands on one.
I stumbled upon you guys about a year ago after being a long time listener from the good old days at CFNY and I diligently download each days episode before heading off to work at night. I drive a gasoline tanker and work overnights running back and forth between Toronto and Huntsville. Many a shitty night has been made easier laughing my ass off with you guys.
Warmest regards, best wishes and continued success in 2013.

P.S: also, maybe I might be directed to where I could find a few of your bumper stickers? One of them would look terrific on the back of my trailer going up and down Highway 11 all night, every night.

Hey Humble and Fred,
Just wanted to let you know that I have been hired full time at a station outside the city and will not be able to continue my internship. I had no idea that I was even still being considered for the position when I came in on Friday, it had been months since I heard from them(or anyone for that matter). Thank you for the great opportunity, I appreciate you guys letting me be a part of the show, it was an experience I won't soon forget. I look forward to continuing to enjoy your podcasts and will keep spreading the word about the show. Good luck and thanks again.

Hi Guys,
You mentioned phobias on Friday.
When I was about 7 yrs old, my father took me to see the movie JAWS in the theatre. Thanks Dad!..god rest his soul.
Since then I cannot swim in water when I can't see the bottom. When I try, I know that something with teeth is comin' up fast..so, I have to book it out of there.
One of the worst lakes for dropping off to blackness is Lake Mazinaw, couple hours up hwy35. For 20ft out from shore the bottom is sandy and visible, then it drops to
about 300ft deep. Hate that lake!
Anyway,
Listening and Laughing!

Hey Guys,
Fucking love Alan Cross. Great interview guys, as it always is with him. I could listen to him read the phonebook, nevermind bedtimes stories as mentioned the other day. When you guys talked about him getting a podcast on your network, I gotta tell ya, my nipples got a little hard. Make it happen, guys.
And to Kelly - don't let those guys bust your balls. Its your opinion on the music that we'll listen to, not your knowledge of the chronology of musical genres. Just do it.

Hi guys
I wouldn't say I am a 100%r but I do listen to all the new shows. I agree with lady friend about her comment regarding the opening song. Phil has a great rhythm about him but repeating the same song does get tiring . how about getting the listener email to suggest a song for him to sing every day. (his version or the norm) And every once and awhile fit in the "show tune". I have 2 other issues that drive me nuts. 1. BABY PHIL ... please no more I think he has a voice that send a message across the airways, (when he talks normal) but when he does the baby shit he drops down a few notches and he sounds FUCKED! maybe get him to do a Toronto Asian or a Asian news feed that he can put his thoughts on . the 2nd is the on air talk about the 30 second video . why can't a intern take the person to the side and get them to do the video. Is that not what an intern is for to keep your flow moving, not that you lose it but c'mon it seems very unprofessional.
Thanks for reading and will keep listening
Tyler Gordon
Ps
Read more FAN emails please

Hi Guys,
The Alan Cross show was awesome! I love the guy and to hear him in the Five Hour Energy Studio with all you was so great. You are so at ease with each other and the stories just flow. It's a joy to the ears! I really hope he comes through and adds a podcast on the Humbleandfredradio Network. I would easily be a 100%-er on that one too. Especially if he had Kelly on his podcasts once in awhile. The music debates were great!!! ;-)
All the best!

Hi Humble and Fred!
I was just wondering if you hold a Christmas Party? I am planning a trip into the city around Christmas for my birthday and not sure if you still have parties like used to or if people can come and watch the show. I used to attend all of the parties with 102.1 (which was a long time ago) and they were super fun and I even have a great picture of you guys with me and a friend, as well as a picture with Pete Fowler who used to DJ there as well. Anyways, not even sure if there is a party but thought I would send a quick note.
Thanks and happy holidays!!! Lora Bender.

Hi Guys, I just wanted to take a minute to let you know how fantastic the Ron MacLean show was. I was on the edge of my seat the entire show. That was some fucking great radio. Well done. He's the kind of guy you could sit with for hours and never want it to end. Maybe some day you could have him back and he could bring his buddy Don. That would be an amazing show.
Keep up the great work. Looking forward to todays show.
P.S At the beginning of the show, Fred you wondered out loud what kind of car he might drive. I can tell you as of last summer it was a BMW 328 convertible. He was a customer of ours at that time and that is what he was driving. Of course that may have changed by now.
All the best.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Great Interview today with Ron Mac. Really enjoyed it!
Regarding background talking and stuff...It's an insight into all that's going on with the show..I think it's cool!
Mr. Fred..Would you consider doing some new Mr. Goohead bits? It would be awesome if you did. Mr. Goohead is a really funny character and bit!
Finally, you know how Phils' theme song gets stuck in your head? Well, why not use that for any future radio commercial ads you may run on terrestrial radio. The commercial could start with Phil singing the song as he regularly does..then some funny stuff with You Guys..then a voice guy talks about the website, the free app for your smart phone (to listen live? :), and other details. What I'm getting at is that people hearing your commercial, a few times, will get the song stuck in their heads..great advertising.
Keep 'er goin' fellas.
Listening and laughing,

Hi guys,
Humble, the next time you speak with Gary Leeman, please bust his chops for not acknowledging the reason he scored 50 goals - his linemate, Eddie Olczyk. Man, it irks me how little respect he receives! I don't care much about the NHL anymore or the Leafs, but I was a huge fan during that era.
And Fred, congrats on being a new grandpa. I'm a new dad to a one-month old, and it was sweet to hear about your experience on the day of your grandson's birth. Shit certainly got real!
Regards,
Chi-Hung

Hey guys,
I'd just like to pass on how much I thoroughly enjoyed today's show. As a big hockey fan it was very refreshing to hear Leeman and Maclean talk about their respective lives and careers instead of the usual boring lockout talk from the MSM. I also have a large interest in the media (I've lurked the yellow board for years, haha) so hearing Maclean kind of "off the record" like that was especially fantastic.
Would also like to note that I was at an oldtimers game a few years ago and through a friend of a friend was afforded the privilege of going into the dressing room to meet the players afterwards. One of the players (it might have actually been Peter Zezel) told me that Gary Leeman skates so fast he can easily beat many of today's NHL'ers even at his age. Leeman was before my time, but man it must have been a treat to watch him. Again, great show today; will look forward to more in the future.

"Hello people" -
Thanks for reading my letter on your recent podcast - even though you don't recall me from an earlier communcation to you (reference June 23rd podcast - my 18 year old daughter's summer bucket list : which by the way turned out to be something her friends and her concocted at a drinking party and turned it into a game....so all of the girls had the same bucket list to work from....)
I will chalk this up to 'short term memory loss' and Freddy P being a new grandparent (congrats by the way!) and I wouldn't expect you to remember all of your many loyal listeners....
I promise to not be as long between emails next time and I am working on 'a bit' for you guys (something I will call "lettered curse words") .
P.S. The interview with Ron Maclean was one of the most entertaining. What's it like to meet Canadian TV royalty?
All the best ......signed Brad Habbershaw ....aka "Bucket List Dad"

Hi guys! Well, holy fuck! I missed the sign the first time it was up there. I do a lot of driving in the downtown core but don't get up on the Gardner very often to see the Humble and Fred Radio banner! It was a nice feeling listening to you guys on my iPhone and seeing an advert at the same time. I got on the podcast bus a bit late, but have turned my back on terrestrial radio and am listening to 3-5 shows per day until I catch up. I'm currently about half way through August and loving the shows! I recently downloaded your app from iTunes and am having a blast with it, it'll be more enjoyable when I become a 100%er, then I'll be able to read the tweets, blogs and have them make sense to me. The interviews are all well done, very in depth and a lot better than any 4 minute radio interview you'd get. Keep up the laughter.
Faithfully listening and downloading.
Mike from Whitby.

To Uncle Howie and Grandma Fred,
Keep the Phil intro. Here are some suggestions (my personal opinion):
Backing vocalists (interns) i can do without, i like my Phil solo.
I'm not a huge fan of the screechy high pitch ending (trying to harmonize), i'd rather him just sing it the way the original sounds.
On the other hand, i don't mind when he changes the whole version up occasionally (Ray Charles version, Chinese versions).
All the best, i enjoy listening immensely!

Where to begin: Had an absolutely awesome time at your anniversary show, meeting you 2 , Kelly, the interns and Kinga. You guys are truly gifted and the people you attract couldn't be more loyal and rooting for your success. Usually a large room full of strangers can be intimidating, (especially coming solo as I did,) but there wasn't a moment I felt like a wall flower or awkward like at the teenage dances you went to in high school. There was a positive buzz in the air and everyone I met were out pouring in their conversation and excitement for what you 2 have created here. I really can't think of 2 personalities that have as dedicated a following, and it showed in the preparation and sweat equity that those who helped put this together displayed last night.
Also I have to congratulate Sarah and Jody on their Super Fan show, they played clips I had forgot about (Freddies worn under wear episode and From the Tip advice. Spencers singing Ingrid Michaelson. The talent and confidence she has at 14 is to be admired ), and they do all this for free!
Can't wait for show # 500 and the 2nd anniversary Nut Hut Shit Show. Cheers you Buggers!

I imagine you'll be getting a lot of mail to this effect, so I'll try to keep this brief. I just wanted to thank you for a great evening last night, it was awesome, even a little surreal, seeing everyone I've become so familiar with through the podcast, and experiencing the podcast itself, in person, I really had no idea what to expect, but in the end you guys, and especially your supporting people, really nailed it last night and left me (and even my less-than-100%r wife) eagerly looking forward to next time. There will be a 'next time', right?
Thanks again!

Hi Howard,
It was nice meeting you last night and having our short chat, enjoyed myself last night albeit still a bit fuzzy as my body clock was saying I was 8 hours ahead. Amanda - what a knockout! Keep this lady happy so that you can hang on to her forever. She is definitely the most mature sub 30 year old that I met. You are a very lucky man
I just noticed that you had sent a friend request on Facebook some time ago ( I am not on Facebook that much until recently while trying to post my Africa pictures) it and when I tried to confirm it said that you have too many friends. Hmmm I thought that one never can have 'too many friends'! Wow... life is treating you well! 2 great kids, a gorgeous girlfriend, so many friends on Facebook and doing a venture that obviously makes you (and Fred) very happy and most of all having fun!
Cheers, it was a pleasure to finally meet you face to face ( I had followed you on radio from the very beginning in Toronto)

Gentlemen,
Thank you for opening your doors to us tonight and hosting the Year Plus a Bit Nut Hut Shit Show.
I had an exceptional time.
As I stood talking to those associated with the show and other 100%r`s I was struck by the enthusiasm and genuine sincerity of everyone involved. It is no wonder you have come as far as you have in the last year when you have people such as Chef Mike, Marilyn Benninger, Chris Woods and Dan Duran`s wang supporting you. More so with the podcast team - Phil, the interns, Jason, Mike; every one was amiable and approachable.
You can not help but succeed with such a wonderful team producing a quality podcast.
I have truly enjoyed the last year and a bit of your work and I eagerly look forward to the next year, and hopefully many more.

PS. Humble, I also had the pleasure of meeting your lady friend and chat with her briefly. What can I say? She's smart, pleasant and gorgeous. Buddy, you really hit the jackpot.

Thanks for the invite. Great event guys! ALL the people their were looking to talk to everyone. Chef Mike was the first to talk to my sister and I (Snatch shirt) and what a super fella. Marilyn was amazing and put together a fantastic evening. I could go on and on but I won't. Can't wait for next year!

Well guys I think what you have done is awesome! If I would have realized I had a couple of days off around Nut Hut Shit Show #250 I would have tried to get myself a ticket.
I go way back with H&F...I was a Humble and Fred Shareholder; I won a six pack (and drank) a six pack of Humble and Fred beer (wish I would have kept a bottle); I even won a snow blower when you were on Mojo. The joys of divorce none of those made it from the house to the apartment. Oh well.
What has though is a lot of memories of listening to Humble and Fred. Congrats and here is to many more shows.
All the best.

Hi guys,
During yesterday's show Terry offered to buy Kelly's electric guitar. Back up the truck here boys. H&F listeners would love a shot at owning any electric appliance that Kelly has caressed in her lap. Why don't you guys autograph it and auction it off to a 100%-er? Heck, think of all the noodles you could buy with the proceeds.
Take care,
-Eric Tremblay ( your biggest fan in Kingston )
PS: I miss you guys on KROCK. Boohoo.

Hello people!
Kelly recommended Game of Thrones highly, but I suggest you consider reading the book(s) first. I fucking hated fantasy books (after devouring them as a child), but someone convinced me to check these out.
They're honestly amongst the very best novels I've ever read. The whole "fantasy" bit is extremely understated and barely exists in the first book, beyond the introduction. It's mostly mediaeval politics, roughly based on the War of the Roses.
The thing that makes them so amazing is that I've never read a book with such realistic-feeling characters.
The show is great, but it's obviously simplified and the sex is over-the-top because it's HBO (there's plenty in the books).
Besides that, I highly highly recommend Howard checks out Archer. It's literally the funniest show I've ever seen and think the sense of humour is right up his/your alley. The first couple of seasons are on Netflix. I'm not 100% sure it's Fred's bag but by all means give it a try.
(It's a very high-quality stylised cartoon with amazing timed snappy humour. It stars a bunch of well-known people, including several from Arrested Development. The show's situation is basically Arrested Development at a Cold War spy agency, but so much more intensely funny.
Highly recommended.
Regards,
Mark

Herro people,
Having humble and Fred withdraw. I can't stand Toronto radio!!!!!!. I have been relistening to
A lot of your earlier pod casts and can't believe how stupid the program directors are in this town. I really believe, like you guys do, that the personalities of the radio are what makes people listen to a certain station. If you don't have that connection with the audience then what's the point. That's why I love guys you can be hilarious one minute and then serious the next.
Please come back soon, missing my daily dose of you two crazy guys.
Counting down the days till the First Anniversary show

Hi Guys,
You were saying the other day that "old people" don't know how to listen to podcasts. Well, I'm only 32 and had a hell of time subscribing - good thing I'm so determined! Here's an idea, why don't you make a quick 1 minute how to video for each of Blackberry, iPhone, and Android that show what a podcast is, where to find it on your phone, how to subscribe, and how to play it. You know the kinds of videos I'm talking about (https://www.dropbox.com/ and click the big play button) - except I'm sure your videos could be more entertaining. Then post big links to video on the homepage.
It is possible to subscribe to your podcast on Blackberry fairly easily with the free, default "Blackberry Podcast" app - but it really helps to have video instructions... it took me forever to figure it out.
Hope that helps you two grow your business - and keep up the great work :)

Haroo Peepoo is making fun at a culture that can't pronounce Hello People.
Is there any way you guys could avoid having annoying filler guests like Mike Boon on? Holy hell that guy is boring. Ten minutes talking about how much weight he lost and how fabulous he looks - give me a f#@kin' break. And who the hell made this anus the expert on Toronto radio? Nobody cares what you think assface. The Spirit of Radio is gone baby, let it go.
Seriously guys, I'd rather listen to Howard eat on air than listen to Toronto Mike spout off about how great his insight is. I'll listen to Derringer if I want to feel inferior, or even better, Andy Frost - at least those two have jobs on the radio not just some crappy blog.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely
Stevie P.
I told Philly that I'm uncomfortable with laughing at someone's inability to speak proper English - broken English isn't funny. Nobody would laugh at Phil if he spoke in a Chinese accent and spoke Chinese.
My 2 cents... but ask yourself if you (Humble or Fred) would do the Haroo Peepoo bit on terrestrial radio.
Loving you! Mike Boon

Hi guys.
You know why people really enjoy your show? It's simply because you two are genuine in your opinions. When you both said that you were not fans of Led Zeppelin, I said finally someone else that thinks that. I was especially impressed that you acknowledged that not liking the Zep was an unpopular view, but Fuck it, you are being Humble and Fred. It is so refreshing to listen to someone who isn't towing a "company line" or has some hidden agenda. (Unless you're getting paid for it then more power to ya) I have to say that although I like Jimmy Page as a guitar virtuoso, I really can't stand Robert Plant's banshee like shrieking. I mean honestly does he have to do it in every song?? WTF!!!
You both are truly originals and should have your own reality show documenting your road back to success in a new media. Or at the very least, a web series which I am sure us 100%ers would download and watch intently.
Enjoy your week off and have a great show you funny fuck faces!!!
Antonio V. Ramos
Hi guys...
Just wanted to drop you a line and say what a pleasure it was meeting both of you and your team.
I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of your morning during our 'handovers.'
I wish you success, greatness and a helluva lot of crazy fun in your endeavours!
All the best,
P.S. we'll always have Facebook, yah we will!

Glad to hear Spencer on the show, her wit is on par with the rest of you nut huts. I was listening to the 89.3 The Current (thanks Freddie P) and I was introduced to the band Purity Ring (song was lofticries) and the lead singer sounds very similar to Spencer. I think she will have a great career if she wants to go for it as her voice has that "it" factor. Looking forward to the first year party.
Cheers,

Hi Guys
To add to your Zeppelin segment from yesterdays show - it's been well documented of all the songs Zeppelin ripped off from lesser known artists and called them their own.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5uMQDlKn8g&feature=fvwrel
No royalties, no writing credits, nothing. Deemed them their own.
Some pretty interesting stuff here. Stairway to Heaven is staggering...

Hi guys.
Having hiked on four continents, I can probably answer some of Howard's questions regarding hiking.
Really, the only equipment you need is a good pair of hiking boots. You don't need heavy duty mountaineering boots, but if you're hiking on rocky terrain it's good to have some ankle support. It's best to wear layers of clothing, so you can take them on and off as the weather changes, or as you warm up while hiking or cool of when you stop for a break. You should have a knapsack to carry those layers of clothes, as well as food and water.
Probably the best hiking in southern Ontario is the Bruce Trail, which follows the Niagara Escarpment from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Tobermoray. I highly recommend Nepal. You can't beat hiking in the Himalayas.
A bunch of us are currently hiking the Oak Ridges Trail if you'd like to join us one Sunday. We do about 20-25 kilometres.

Hey, when you getting that hot Sexpert back?? You left us listeners hanging from the cliff when Kelly brought up female Squirting at the end of the segment. Too bad Uncle Vince wasn't there to help explain the situation in a more colourful way, a thet thet thet. You need to make that shit happen boy's.
Love the show which just keeps getting better and better. You boys aren't ruining the Internet, your showing us how a radio type of show should truly be done.

Hi guys!
Just listening to Friday's show with Dr. Jessica (stunning woman, saw her at the sex show) and you touched on the squirting phenomena. I have had the pleasure of being with a couple of women that have this occur. I can tell you from my personal experience that it is great for the ego knowing that your performance can have this effect on her. Forget about the preparation and such... It is well worth it! HUGE turn on.
Really looking forward to Dr. Jessica's take on this. Get her back on your show soon!
Just my 2 cents!

Hi Guys
Was at a local restaurant for breakfast with my daughter. There was a group of people talking about energy drinks and they all agreed that 5 hour energy drink was the best. Could it be the natural ingredients such as broccoli, avocado and (cue the baby Phil) banana? My daughter looked at me weird when I said banana like Phil out loud.
Keep up the good work

We've been quite transparent about Kingston. It was a three month experiment that turned into five months, that turned into the realization that doing ten shows a week was too much. I know this will piss you off, but the podcast is actually more lucrative and we have some bigger, more exciting news coming very soon.
What would be real cool is if you'd identify yourself so we could invite you onto the podcast and you can say everything you've ever wanted to say to us - to our faces.
How about it "Not Dean" ?
This comment was sent to Toronto Mike
I understand a certain podcast duo has been run out of Kingston. Where's the blog entry about the demise of Kingston's morning show of excellence Crumble n' Debt?
If you can't make it in Kingston, where can you make it? A smaller market? The trailer park?
Not Dean
Here was our reply.

Humble and Fred,
This morning on my drive in you were discussing Poppies and how they are hard to keep on some types of clothing/material. A good trick is to break off a pencil eraser and put it on the end of the pin, also if you have a small Canada Flag lapel pin that you see around use it instead of the pin that comes with the Poppy. Now you have a Poppy with a Canadian Flag in the middle.Cheers

We have a cottage close to Kingston and as a long time fan I was excited to hear you were doing a new morning show
I usually listen to Fly Fm or what ever else I could pick up
I didn't even know about K-Rock
My dilemma was that I like to take my coffee down to the dock in the morning and watch the lake
What was I to do with you on the radio at the same time
Then it came to me....the boat has a radio
Yahoo
Now my peaceful serene mornings were filled with poopy fart jokes
Best summer ever
Thx from your 100 percenter fan

Also tell Kelly that she sounds "cute" when she says Cheeky monkey to you in the recorded message to end the show. Now if she just can get her own pod cast going.
Question: How will you identify your fans showing up at your door for the anniversary party whether they registered for the event or not?

Hey Guys
Chris from Scarborough's fav pub, The Olde Stone Cottage, 3750 Kingston Road. I have a bone to pick with Freddy.
I am in the middle of opening a second location and have had little time for the news, but lots of time to keep up with the H&F podcast. After Fred's comment about the exaggerated coverage of Hurricane Sandy, I understood it wasn't such a big deal. With that, I decided to make a Sandy "jokie joke" on the pub's digital sign, which by the way, has 30,000 cars pass per day. That message was to start "broadcasting" at 5 AM Wednesday morning.
Tuesday night I actually had time to catch up with life and learned of the actual devastation of the storm. Unfortunately, I forgot about my "jokie joke", until I got up for a pee at 4 AM. For some reason, everything clicked in and I realized massive "Fred inspired" misjudgement. Got in the car, fixed the sign, lost an hour of sleep, and no one knows the difference... until now, or given your audience, not so much (another jokie joke).
Anyhow, we are listening, you have impact and influence - you will continue to grow and prosper!
See you at the party - let me know if I can bring some wings (GTA best).

Hi guys,
So I've been in denial for a few days but I guess I have to come to grips with it. You're leaving Kingston' K-ROCK. I understand your reasons - you can't do it all. Many people will miss you in the mornings. You're leaving behind a big void - nobody comes close to the content you guys bring everyday.
Know that you experiment was successful. You definitely picked up some new 100%-ers in Kingston. Myself included!
Take care,

Hey guys,
I used to live in TO about 20 years ago and listened to you every morning on Cfny. Every now and again you used to play a song that began with the first two lines of "o Canada" but it was some crazy hip hop raga sung by what sounded like an east indian guy. I can't find any reference to it anywhere online ... any idea what I'm talking about?
Thanks!

Have you guys thought any more about streaming live?
Because, if you have, I've gotta few more thoughts & ideas.
On the terrestrial radio topic, maybe more people will email Mike Neigbuurs, at funny 820, and drive him crazy until he reconsiders hiring you guys!
Humble&Fred on the Funny820 would be a win win...for everyone!!

I am in the complex/palliative care which is difficult... I chose this path because not everyone has family/friends and everyone should have someone to hold their hand in the end, if that's me...this is what I chose.....
You guys rock...
P.S. Kelly should do her own podcast......
Thanks Guys....

Oh Humble and Fred, I fallen off the wagon and can no longer call myself a 100 Percenter. I am now a 99.7 percenter but can promise you that I will get caught up with your shows to proudly call myself once again and H&F 100 Percenter. Who can live without hearing such funny things as Fred yelling at people for interrupting his imaginary dog walks or ribbing Humble about dating a much younger girl. (By the way, have you broken any of her Fisher Price toys lately?)
Love the show and am looking forward to catching up. Never a dull show and every week is gets better.
Have a great show!!!

I was listening to your interview with John Hall and I thought....my husband likes Scotch why not get him a bottle of Forty Creek.
I picked up the new copper kettle and he really likes it
Loving the show. I listen to you on my Go train commute. It certainly makes my time on the train enjoyable but I have to be careful not to laugh out so much. Sometimes I get "the look" from other riders
Luv'n you all

"Another awesome show boys, I almost drove off the road laughing to the discussion whether to buy a pie on the way to Kingston....good shit."
My vote is in for Kelly to do her own podcast.
If I had an issue with the H&F daily podcast is that I'd like to have more exposure to new music. Kelly doing a podcast on new music, or her insights into music would be awesome. Kelly can provide her "music junky" input for people that have the same interest in music as her, but don't have the time to delve into it as much as we'd like. She can sort through the shit and point us to where the good stuff is.
Please Kelly, DO IT.
Pretty Please.

At one point during the Thursday show, you were discussing getting lost in scary places in the States - including Detroit, and I was actually running in Downtown Detroit at the time! I can confirm that they keep the lights flashing yellow at night so that you're not idling at a stoplight in a bad area.
Anyway, just wanted to say 'thanks' - you guys had me focused on the show and not the pain and suffering going on for 26.2 miles. Plus, I added in some 5-hour energy along the way to give me a boost. It was a great combo - I finished in 4 hours and 11 minutes!
See you at the Nut Hut Shit Show in November - can't wait!
Thanks,
Andy

Loving the show. I listen to you on my Go train commute. It certainly makes my time on the train enjoyable but I have to be careful not to laugh out so much. Sometimes I get "the look" from other riders
Luv'n you all

Hi Guys,
I have been listening tonight (Oct 19) and your program included a discussion of gods - many "supposed gods" and conflict among the believers. I imagine you might have referred to this if you had seen it. Or were you being discrete?
As a 70%R I notice that discretion is not always your priority.
Sincerely,
Karen

Hi Fred
I heard you mention me on the Podcast yesterday......my husband is 100%er.....I am close. I have not heard you on K-Rock, just that you are doing the terrestrial program as you mention it in the podcasts. Both my husband and were fans when you were both on the Edge, then when you came to Peterborough I sent you a couple of emails thanking you for bringing better music to Peterborough (which has since gone back to the way it was). Great podcasts and thanks for mentioning me...yes I am a sweet woman from the "Patch".....many of my high school students would agree with you. By the way, I have been promoting your podcasts to them as well:)Heather Forsyth-Downs

I've been meaning to ask in one of my emails as to why you haven't
played any Mr. Goohead bits on your show? I heard you have played
them on the K Rock show, but thought every once in a while for us 110%
and fans that go way back, to hear one every now and then. Even some
of the old parody songs too, or am I getting to nostalgic for the good
old days?
Anyways, still loving the shit out the podcast.
Cheers,

Hello Boys!
Can you send me a link to that Corky and the Juice Pigs song you
played at the end of the pod cast on 9/26? I have been trying to find
it but no luck. You guys are awesome, not a 100 percenter but I listen
as much as I can. Keep it up and if you can't the blue pills help.

I just heard your story about the apparent heart attack at the
Caribbean all-you-can-eat. While it was HILARIOUS, it was also
terrifying. Anyone who has taken basic First Aid has heard that a
primary killer of middle aged men is the "It can`t happen to me"
syndrome. You should ALWAYS call 911 in a situation like that.
Seriously, Howard is the smart guy here....call 911. Even if you end
up looking like a douche, at least you`re not dead.
Best regards,
Tom from Tottenham

Hey guys,
First thing first, you're awesome, your show is awesome, and now my
drive along the Gardiner each morning is considerably closer to being
awesome that it has ever been before. I'm so happy you ditched
terrestrial radio and found your way to the internet. I got tired of
writing station managers scathing emails every time you got fired.
I wanted to add to your best-before date conversation from Wednesday's
show and share this article my friend Angela Mulholland wrote for CTV
about the confusion that best-before dates cause consumers
(http://www.ctvnews.ca/best-before-confusion-leading-to-needless-food-waste-1.744531 ).
Fred, as you suspected, the dates have nothing to do with the product
expiring and are really there as a suggestion about how long the food
will taste "fresh". And while the government requires best-before
dates on foods that will keep fresh for less than 90 days, it's up to
food manufacturers to choose those dates. There are really no
regulations controlling the dates - and it's just a great way to get
people to buy more food.

I think Kelly should do what she does best and talk music.
Perhaps in studio guests/performances, play some new music, comment on recent music news etc.
I think some motivation from the INTERNS is required too!

I laughed heartily hearing you read my email from yesterday, and discussing if Humble's nose might be put out of joint by me coming to fix your table.
How does Friday sound? Around noon? That way you will have your day's show all wrapped up and I should be able to fix the table without being in anybody's way.

Hey guys,
I'm not writing this to have you read it on the air; this is a legitimate offer from me to you.
As a multi-talented and passionate 100-percenter, I would be honoured to be given the opportunity to come down to the 5-Hour Energy Studio and repair the dining-room table. It's the least I can do to show you my appreciation for the last year of amazing and free entertainment from the H&F Radio.com show.
What do you say? I will bring tools and materials. The repair should take about 30 minutes or less. I can do it almost any weekday, and if you have any other repairs needed, let me know and I can plan for materials and tools needed accordingly.
Sincerely,
Darren Simonelli

Hi Guys,
I was listening to yesterday's show this morning on my daily commute. I
thought for sure that the song Fred was trying to remember was "Walk the
Dinosaur" by Was Not Was...Listen to it and I think you'll agree that it
sounds like what he was trying to recall.
Also, you mentioned the Paypal badge, I had made this suggestion to you a
few months ago. Having just had to go through the complicated mess that is
Paypal for a website I am developing (www.etracecloud.com), I would be
happy to help you if required. I think that you should establish a
subscription so that people can have an amount debited on a monthly bases.
You could either set it at an amount (say $10/month), or let them put an
amount in. Anyway, let me know if you need help.
Suck it!

Congrats on the anniversary.. you've come a long way baby!
Just a thought... recently I met up with our mutual friend Drew Marshall a couple of weeks ago & he mentioned he was going to visit you guys on the 19th & he graciously invited me to come along for the ride.
I wanted see how my week was turning out & it looks as I can make it work.. but first I wanted to check to see if it was okay with you guys in case you had too many people around that day.
Perhaps I could come in earlier & miss the traffic (I fucking hate traffic!) & watch the K-rock show if thats cool with you or just arrive later... whatever works best for you guys. (Drew said he was arriving for 10am)
If its a full day & no room.. no worries I can try for another day when there's less traffic.. just let me know so I can switch my days with work & plan what time to show up. (If not I'll look forward to meeting you guys at the Anniversary party in Nov.)
Congrats again.. you guys have done really well (IMO) & as you have mentioned.. just need that barrier broken for all those fans who haven't found out that your back & open for business... hang in there... if you build it.. they will come... eventually!
Keep on talk'in & K-Rocking,
Sal

Hi guys!!!!
PINBALL CLEMENS!!!!!! It was great hearing him on your podcast. He has got to be one of your best guests ever.
You need to give him a show on the Humble and Fred Network!!! Pinball has to be one of the most personable guys that has walked on the face of this earth. He is one of a kind and always speaks from the heart. You need him on the Humble and Fred network. Pinball can draw an audience across all demographics and keep them enthralled with his thoughts and opinions. You never hear a bad word about him nor do you ever hear anyone say an event Pinball was at sucked. I bet he would also lure new sponsor to your family of shows which can't hurt.
Love the podcast and I, like many of your listeners, were hoping to get the old Humble and Fred show again; but what we are getting is so much better. It's the Nut Hut Shit Show!!!
Thank you for all the entertainment you give us.

Hi Guys:
Couldn't meet a nicer guy. His daughter played on a soccer team with my daughter about 10 years ago and I got to see this first hand, he really is this nice. It was truly an honour and a pleasure to meet someone with such positivity, and a real genuine character. Hang with him enough and you couldn't help but be positively impacted.
His wife and family were just as wonderful to be around. I wouldn't want to see Pinball run for mayor of Toronto, he is far to good for that Nut Hut Shit show!!
Glad to see we are all adjusting to our girls going off to residence, it just seems like yesterday we were walking them to Kindergarten.
Cheers

"Hi guys,"
My sympathies to Humble Howard, as his daughter leaves the nest for University.
I can really imagine how difficult it must be with 2 young daughters of my own.
The Australian guy who called into your podcast on Phone-In-Friday.
I laughed so hard that I listened twice..it was hilarious with the air-horn and "WRONG ANSWER!".
'Hats off' to Jimmy Cochoun for the 'Slim Mackeral' tape from 2002.
Hearing that was like being back in time, listening to the bit 'live' on Mojo.
And, I hope Funny 820am in Hamilton considers Humble and Fred for a Live Morning Comedy Show.
Mornings Live with Humble and Fred on Funny 820 would be a great touch to an already terrific station.
Cheers,
James Kirk - Whitby.
It's Matt from Ottawa, the fella who called in during last Friday's phone-in segment. I just wanted to say thank you very much for having me as part of the show, I very much appreciated the opportunity, and continue to wish you both the best as you expand your network. You guys make a great model for how to establish yourselves on the internet, while also providing your content to terrestrial radio.
Speaking of which, I forgot to ask on Friday: any word on whether K-Rock in Kingston will keep you guys on past the summer? I think that would be a fantastic arrangement for both parties, plus you could pursue the licensing/syndication of your content to other radio stations. Like I said, very excited by your rapid expansion.
Have a great day fellas, and thanks again for the opportunity to say thank you on the show.
Sincerely,
matt mcgowan

Not great quality, but I remember a few months back you doing a call to someone from CHS about this event.
