My favorite "radio" times of my life were with Pete & Geets! I agree completely that as funny as Geets was, it only worked with Pete!!
I'm looking forward to hearing the interview!

I am interested to hear the interview. Bring it on Fred.
I would also love to hear another podcast from Humble and Fred but I guess Humble seems to be off to bigger and better things these days. Oh well, I guess everybody has to make a living one way or another.

Pool parties at the Griffins were the best. At least the parts that I remember.

It will be great to hear Pete's voice again...I have some very funny recollections of Pete on the morning show. I hope he knows just how much he is missed on the radio. Ya things change, but not necessarily always for the best....what the heck is so wrong with appreciating something from the past that leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy?

I listened to nothing but CFNY from about 1977 to 1982. Even visited the famous frame house in Brampton in '79 to do a story for some little community rag in Vaughan. Great radio and great memories. Daddy Cool... those horrible ads for the Police Picnic... loved all of it! My favourite show for a while, though, was the teaming of Marsden and Ted Woloshyn. Their irreverance was hillarious. They even made fun of advertisers. Imagine that! Hard to believe Woloshyn would go on to shill for every product he could on CFRB before getting the boot to 'spend more time with the family'. A buddy and I even drove up to Barrie to catch his comedy act in about 1980 at some raunchy Hotel lounge. Gawd, he was an awful comedian, but we still had fun!

I remember well Pete and Geets. I remember from CHUM days... laughing my ass off as i prepared breakfast, with that Geets character going "Jah, dat's right..." AND Pete played the Goon Show - genius! It was there I first heard Ivor Biggun and other artists nobody else would give airtime to. Pete was a master of the understatement, and the owner of a profound and outrageous sense of the absurd. Best wishes, Pete, we miss you, man!

Wow - use to live in the apt above Fred 'back in the day'. Worked at NY about 30 years ago, Pete, Geets, David, Greta, Ron, Lehman.... it was a pleasure to come to work every day - you never knew what was going to happen and you hoped it did!

At a time when I was most unhappy, CKLB Oshawa, Pete virtually saved my life. "What you need, said Pete after listening to my tale, "is a very good shoeshine. You will feel better." He took me across the street to a shiner who, in spitting on my shoe, cloth flitting back and forth, shone my shoe and saved my life.
Pete was hanging with a McGlaughlin, of Buick at the time.

This is the problem with centralized production. What happened to locally produced products? Petaluma used to be the chicken capital of the world, now it is just another housing track. The lesson here is DON"T PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET

Why is Erecting a Mosque at Ground Zero indeed being permitted to take place? I never heard something so unquestionably brainless in all my life. If this by chance approaches fact, It would be the hardest situation ever. vanessa

This is what congress is worried about? How about jobs you fricktin arseholes? how about our borders? how about the economy? how about our hypocrite in chief melting the icebergs with air force 1 and 2's exhaust. I want you folks to drive a prius while my wife(bigfoot) and I take 747's or 4 monster helicopters to go get milk and bread.....:-)

First of all - I hope it does cause MLB some major angst. Their role in all of this is significant. Selig should be forced to step down. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE knew what was going on. And rather than confront it Selig and his merry band of synchophants decided to ignore it. Ignore it as Bonds heads swelled to gargantuan proportions. Clemons is a major league tool and frankly deserves what he's about to get......:-)
Tomorrow on FreddieP.ca I will post an interview with former CFNY morning man Peter Griffin who currently resides in Ottawa.
