There is a lot of stuff happening in the world. If it's not swine flu it's the markets crashing or politicians getting in to trouble. You got to keep smiling through it all.

If you were lucky enough to miss it the first time around, Matt & Eric play the best and worst parts of their morning show from the past week. If you needed another reason to sleep in Saturday morning.. this is it!

Matt & Eric's Morning Show Producer Donnie puts together some funny (but often not funny) bits. Since he works so hard to make them for you.. we thought we would let them live on forever on the internet.

Enjoy.. and if you have a comment.. email Donnie. He likely wont email you back.

Clearly the illegitimate offspring of famed 80's rocker Gino Vanelli, Matt O'Neill was drawn to music from an early age. As a teenager, Matt attempted musical stardom as a bass player for now defunct "Jake Manlove and the Money City Accountants". The band received mild attention and the odd radio play of their cover of Chicago's "You're the Inspiration", but it was these early musical roots that would fuel O'Neill's desire to be part of the music industry. In high school, Matt redirected his energies into writing, as a music critic for his high school newspaper. It was during this time that headlines such as: "Dead or Alive Spin Me Right Round" and "Purple Rain Falls Mainly on the Plain" were born of O'Neill's insatiable musical curiosity. During this period Matt also explored theatrical pros, writing his musical, "I Dream of Genie: An Autobiographical Look at the Life and Times of Star Trek creator, Gene Rodenbery". The musical never saw the light of day but none the less continued to stir O'Neill's creative fervour.

These days, when he's not busy searching for loose change in his parent's couch, Matt's hobbies include counting stars, spelling words in his Alphabits, and dealing(or "healing" as Matt calls it)with the cancellation of Beverly Hills 90210. The sky is the limit for this maverick of Calgary radio!

Eric Francis is very fashion forward. He likes to think he is the best dressed member of the JACK morning show.

He also likes to write, mostly about hockey. When he is not co-hosting the morning show on JACK FM he is the head sports writer with The Calgary Sun.

In Eric's downtime he frequents COWBOYS and bingo parlours.

Kelly with a 'Y'? Sometimes called smelly Kelly (only because it rhymes - thank you) or Abbott the rabbit. Some still think they're original when they sing me the 'Kelly' song from Cheers...you remember...?

Speaking of singing - I'm the one you are most likely to catch singing and shakin' it to the tunes on Jack in the morning...fortunately for everyone I'm usually in the sound proof news booth.

What are Matt & Eric really like? Well....they're taller than I expected...good teeth...

I think I got the news job because I can read...better than those two anyway!

Donnie may be short in stature but tall with humour. Does that make sense?

Donnie enjoys parasailing, deep sea fishing and scrap booking. When he’s not driving Matt to the airport, Donnie can be found at the fragrance counter at The Bay.
