Mornings at the Cabin

Game 1 of the biggest World Series in HISTORY goes down tonight in Toronto. And, breaking news: Lekter has a controversial opinion on a movie you might love.

A thick cloud of smoke billowed from just outside of downtown Yellowknife yesterday afternoon, which turned out to be coming from a wall tent fire at an encampment site. Luckily, nobody was injured. And online reaction was, as always, measured.

After a hiatus last October, Boolesque is officially back in it's spooky home at Top Knight. Legendary Boo host Rex Holmes joined us this morning to gently guide any newbies (or remind any vets) on how to be a good Burlesque show audience member.

Ok Blue Jays...OK. We see you. And all of us not named Jesse Wheeler are booking our seats on the bandwagon! (Wheeler, of course, being the driver)

Meet Lenny. A baby muskox in the brand new children's book,"Maww! Maww!" Finally, Yellowknife has a local muskox mascot that EVERYONE can feel comfortable rallying around!

The 112th Grey Cup halftime show performer has been announced! You heard of Eminem??? Well...THIS guy feuded with him once! Briefly!

As you're already well aware, dear listener, in the not too distant future, Cabin Radio will 'go' FM. But apparently, we're not the only ones planning to 'go' FM!

It's almost time for Yellowknife's favourite event! It's time f--what? Oh, no, sorry, it's not Ribfest. IT'S BURGER WEEK!

This thanksgiving, Wheeler found out what Billy Bob Thornton really meant by his infamous hot take on Canadian audiences. Remember that?! When he said we're like mashed potatoes without the gravy!?....No?..

AJ had his first rec volleyball AND rec hockey games of the season this week. And he's feeling every minute of them.

Adult Spelling Bee 2 round-robin favourite Tineke Kippers re-joins the show! But not to spell words poorly, no, THIS time SHE'LL be the judge!

Rush recently announced a brand new tour. Wheeler and Lekter are excited. Mooresy is not.

We're down to the FINAL 4. Who will be the last two competitors to PUNCH THEIR TICKET (tm) to the Adult Spelling Bee Final?!

Only 3 round-robin games left before the October 4th GRAND FINALE. Who will punch their ticket this morning as lucky entrant 13??

THE CHAMP IS HERE....But... after Jacki McKinnon's woeful showing in a pre-round-robin exhibition match against Wheeler (in which she still won)...is there reason to doubt that she's READY??

We're used to seeing BITTER rivals square off in their hopeful quests to become the next Adult Spelling Bee world champions...but this morning, it was all love. And a little profanity.

GAME 10! Only 5 left to go as the road to the ASB2 finale winds it's way to an epic finish!

Game 9 of the round-robin featured a couple of second chances: a botched ruling in Game 7 that may have cost Ryan Planche a chance at going to a tie-breaker (oopsie) has brought him back to face Garrett Hinchey, who seeks redemption from last year's Adult Spelling Bee!

We're at the halfway mark of the ASB2 round-robins! An 8th finalist looks to PUNCH THEIR TICKET to the October 4th finale!

You know that old saying that goes, "making mistakes is how we learn," right? Well here at Mornings at the Cabin, we just keep on learning.

The Adult Spelling Bee 2 round-robins continue all through this week and next! And Game 6 had us jumping out of our seats this morning!!

GAME 5!! A definite conflict of interest jeopardizes the sacred integrity of the Adult Spelling Bee competition...as Cabin Radio lawyer and saviour Toby Kruger steps into the studio. Will his competitor, Jessica Harte, be able to overcome these incredible odds?!

The Adult Spelling Bee 2 round-robins are HEATING UP. This morning's match was an absolute barn-burner, as one of last year's top 3 finalists, Katrina Leonardis, returned to take on newcomer John Inglis!

Adult Spelling Bee 2: Game 3 - One of last year's finale competitors, the Spelling 'Bee' himself, Phil Boulton RETURNS for another shot at glory! But first, he'll have to get past newcomer Margot Remnant!

Adult Spelling Bee 2 round-robin GAME 2 featured a couple ASB newcomers vying for a spot in the grand finale! Benjamin Karstad squares off against Ryan Walsh!

ADULT SPELLING BEE 2 IS HERE. The round-robins got underway this morning...and we're feeling the buzz!

Adult Spelling Bee 2 round-robin starts next week! This year's exhibition round has not been kind to Wheeler...but this morning...he gets ONE MORE SHOT.

The Alberta Government has recently been under fire for releasing a proposed list of books to be banned from school libraries, with titles from the legend, Margaret Atwood, among them. Big mistake.

The breakfast wars have been dormant for some time now, with Kellogs reigning supreme. But an aggressive assault from the General Mills camp threatens to throw everything into disarray...

We lost a true legend yesterday. If you don't recognize the name, you will certainly recognize the face. It was everywhere, and likely brought at least one smile to yours.

Finally...The reigning, DEFENDING, Adult Spelling Bee world champion HAS COME BACK to Cabin Radio.

No, not "signs that you are getting old," (although there are plenty of those on this show everyday) but OLD SIGNS! From Yellowknife businesses of a bygone era! Got any??

The Yellowknife Solid Waste Facility Amnesty Days is in danger of being DUMPED. Yes...yes, that'll do.

You want these frequent power outages to end, Yellowknife? Then upgrade your plan to POWER PLUS! Or, take it to the next level with the new POWER PLUS PREMIUM.

We just had the nicest weekend of weather that we've seen all summer in Yellowknife, so it's probably time to look ahead toward winter.

Yesterday on Home to the Cabin, Jay Bear followed up on our YK drivers rant with a few driving pet peeves of his own. Let's keep the blood boiling! What else to YK drivers suck at?!

The City of YK is hosting a Splash Bash to celebrate the grand opening of the new Aquatic Centre! Look for us somewhere down the laaazy river.

It's officially sign-up time! Cabin Radio's Adult Spelling Bee 2 competition is seeking out the territory's biggest know-it-alls and smarty-pantses!

Not only is this apparently a real world, but also a real creature! AND a real cute children's book!

Objectively, it may have been the nicest goal in Canada Summer Games history. Subjectively, it's the GOAT.
