Always endearing and a relief to get a head-start on glitch... welcome back my friend to the trend without end

Steve Kirkland (host)
Heavy start... to give a swift one to the COLD

6:04 PM, January 30th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
This is the part where I would insert a Bizarre Bazaar promo... if I had one to insert

Mr. A
It should be illegal for it to be this cold... that's Canada I guess.

6:11 PM, January 30th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Mr. A, we were let off easy for the first many weeks of winter... we need to be reminded that this is Ottawa... we also need the canal to be open for skating

6:14 PM, January 30th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hey Jeb.. that could be viewed as a bunny

6:16 PM, January 30th, 2021
Jeb
It's not a bunny? :)

6:17 PM, January 30th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
No more than that is a portion of a button

6:20 PM, January 30th, 2021
Jeb
Well, I AM mostly emoji illiterate.

6:22 PM, January 30th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
A fully acceptable illiteracy

6:25 PM, January 30th, 2021
Mr. A
I just remembered that Ottawa is considered to be one of the coldest capital cities. I wish I had that love for skating. Unfortunately I am not built that way haha.

6:28 PM, January 30th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
I can't skate worth shit, Mr. A, but I love walking on the frozen canal

6:32 PM, January 30th, 2021
Mr. A
Me too! Forget those fancily footed people and their bladed ice shoes haha.

Steve Kirkland (host)
Walking (away) on the thick ice of a new day, eh A?
