Shake the Tree: Finale on Morning Rocks

We broke a record this morning on Morning Rocks. John and I played 'Shake the Tree' three times!


Here is our final winner for the 2013 tree shaking season, Rick. Rick managed to clear the prize tree out taking home a crazy Christmas haul. A big thanks to all of the prize sponsors and Maglio's for powering our prize tree this year. Until next December our tree is still and pristine (as a Christmas tree should be).

Viral Video: 400-Pound High School Running Back

I would hate to be called ‘the fridge’ but this kid really should be embracing the nickname. Tony Picard is ahigh school senior and at 6’5 and 400lbs he is a running back that is every other team’s nightmare. Yes, young Tony Picard already is larger than the Chicago Bear’s William ‘Refrigerator’ Perry who weighed in at 355lbs while playing pro football. Picard has not decided on a college yet, but will be helping lead his high school from Yakima, Washington to the State Finals.

Big boy, eh?

Bingo, Bed Sheets and Getting Lucky

A new study published in Britain's Daily Mail suggests that winning and losing are the keys to getting a lady in the mood. The study found the biggest turn-ons for woman were losing weight, winning money and clean bed sheets. Men on the other hand are likely to want a little alone time with their lover after a night out with the boys. 

Over half of the men of the men in the study said they would be keen to send their other half to play bingo if it meant they returned home ‘in the mood’. 

I'm guessing that those men have never been to bingo, it is a whole lot easier to wash bedding than it is to rig a bingo night. 

Here is the link to the full story:

And here is the link the story that suggests that single men wash their bedding (on average) four times a year:

This article was discussed on a show a couple months ago, a listener told how wrong it was and how much he as a single man loves cuddling up in his clean bed sheets. It restored my faith in mankind. 

Kate Loves Call Ins

I love when people call me during my show. 

It really does not happen often enough.

That is one of the beautiful things about being on the morning show, people call in and you get to give them amazing prizes to thank them for listening. 

Here are my two favourite winners this week. 

Oh and the number is 1-877-560-1010 just in case you forgot!

Which Way Does Kate Swing? The Sound of Winning with Kate Bruce

This is the first real winner I have had on my Midday Show on Mountain FM. Usually I only get to give things away when I am on other people’s shows, but today I got to give away two 9-hole passes to Castlegar Golf Club & RV Park. Sharon called in and won her first radio contest ever by correctly guessing which way I swing.

It almost does not even matter which way I swing, I am that bad at golf. I have had one lesson from my boyfriend’s father and I am pretty sure I embarrassed him at the club he used to be the President of in Calgary. Taking Summer 2013 off to move was a horrible idea, I really need to spring for some lessons now that I am living the perfect part of the country for golf.

Congratulations to Sharon and a huge thank-you to my bosses (and Castlegar Golf Club & RV Park) for letting me give away prizes!
