Times they are a changin'

The next six weeks will see a bit of a shake up in The Basement. Not a permanent one, but a change none-the-less.

Actually, one change is permanent, and that's that we're now broadcast three times a week on 92.5FM CFBX Kamloops. AKA TheX.ca!

New episodes will continue to roll out Thursdays at 10 p.m. PST. Episodes will be repeated Fridays at 7 p.m. PST and Mondays at 9 a.m. PST. That's right, The Basement is in your ear holes three times a week, bitches!

To accommodate the new schedule, we'll launch the podcast on Friday mornings. Yes, we moved to Sundays at the start of the year. We've changed our minds . . . again. Deal with it!

Now for the short-term changes, I've been commissioned to write another screenplay (hence the pic at the top of the page. Get it!?!?) and have a short time to get it done. Instead of putting the show on hiatus, Shawn has opted to keep it going. And he's recruited Greg -- Game Time with Greg, Greg -- to be his co-host. Mike S has generously offered to keep the site updated through the week.

Neither Shawn nor I have any idea how this will work. But we've got a great team in Mike S and Greg, so we're confident fans won't notice anything more than a different voice on the air for six weeks starting Feb. 28. Mike S takes over the site at the end of the week.

As always, we encourage you to stick with us! And I'll see you on the other side.

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
