Actress and Basement friend Leah Cairns needs your help!

Our good friend Leah Cairns, (Battlestar: Galactica) has a cause. This is hers, please help if you can!

Posted from her YouTube:

Just after their first birthdays both Savannah and Seattle were diagnosed with rare, incurable, potentially life threatening disorders. Savannah with Mitochondrial Disease and Seattle with Transverse Myelitis. Neither was expected to walk or speak yet they beat all odds and made amazing recoveries.

Unfortunately their battles are far from over. They must battle the effects of their conditions every day. And like so many other North Americans who suffer from rare or widely unknown diseases, their needs constantly fall outside of the health care system.

We'd love to get these two special girls to The Ellen Degeneres Show so we can shed some light on this problem, spread awareness about their diseases and have these two wee warriors meet one another for the first time.

On Feb 8 and 9th we intend to walk the girls to The Ellen Show studio. We have to travel 3765 miles, which is the combined distance from each girls' home to The Ellen Show studio. Will you join us? All you have to do is walk, run, bike, swim, roll or paddle as far as you can. Track your distance and then let The Ellen Show know how far you've gone. If we can 'virtually' travel the girls to her show perhaps she can ACTUALLY travel them there!

You can let her know how far you traveled on behalf of the girls by sending her a tweet @theellenshow or @TheRealEllenD

OR

Justin Cider welcomes a Homewrecker to the Fanily

COVID-19 has impacted pretty much everything and, although some industries have slowly been able to get rolling again, sport is one that remains in limbo. This holds true for the world of Thrash Wrestling, which we in The Basement are a proud sponsor of. But the men and woman of Thrash Wrestling continue to challenge each other, and entertain fans, in a creative way. Which is why Jason and Shawn welcome Thrash Wrestler Justin Cider into the ring... err, Basement, when From The Basements takes over the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves at 6:05 tonight! Cider will update listeners on how Thrash Wrestling continues with social distancing in place. And he'll shed some light on the future of the sport, how people can support his Fanily, and more! And stick with us, as Justin joins The Basement Boys for a review of the new horror/comedy Homewrecker starring Alex Essoe and Precious Chong. Does this female-focused comedic thriller deliver the goods? Tune in after the 6 o'clock news ...

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...
