Smells Like Yukon Flog

The third installment of Smells Like Yukon’s third season aired this morning on CBC North. Our official website has now been updated with the usual plot summary and behind-the-sounds commentary, including one outtake from the lengthy interview Mark did with Yukon MP Larry Bagnell in early August. It has also been updated with the unusual Larry Bagnell Baby Pool.

If you have something to say about this segment, here’s the place to do it. If you feel that you have been unjustly excluded from Larry’s Man Shower, please contact our Complaints Department… or Shayne Fairman.

Smells Like Yukon is much more than the proud organizer of Yukon MP Larry Bagnell’s Man Shower (Be patient, guys–the invitations are in the mail). We’re also the geniuses behind the Yukon’s fourth largest Larry Bagnell Baby Pool, created in conjunction with the latest radio segment “Papa’s Got A Brand New Bagnell.”

Rules:

• To enter, submit your guess for the sex AND weight of Larry Bagnell’s baby. (All weights over 12 pounds classified as “Larger than Life”). And, hey, if you have a great name suggestion, include that too–just for the hell of it.
• One entry per person.
• Entries accepted up to one day before birth of Baby Bagnell. The baby is due in early November, so hurry up.
• Entries must be made via the Comment form on this page (If you’re squirrelly about submitting your e-mail address for the Comment form, just use ours: sniffaround AT smellslikeyukon DOT COM).
• Ties broken by random draw.

Prizes:

We’ll provide some tantalizing visuals later, but for now, suffice to say we’ll be offering an item of Smells Like Yukon and/or Larry Bagnell related clothing to the winner. Smells Like Yukon will also send Baby Bagnell a one-of-a-kind custom-designed onesie on your behalf.

It’s the day after the federal election, and Smells Like Yukon is tickled pink–even red–that Yukon MP Larry Bagnell has been returned to office. We could add “for obvious reasons,” but at least one of the biggest reasons probably isn’t all that obvious.

Had Larry not won re-election, then all of the hard work that Smells Like Yukon put into a story called “Papa’s Got A Brand New Bagnell” would have gone to waste. After all, a story about Yukon’s 58-year-old Member of Parliament becoming a father is worth putting on the air. A story about some 58-year-old unemployed guy becoming a father? Not so much, perhaps.

For those inclined to listen, the piece is scheduled (last we heard) for broadcast tomorrow morning on CBC North at around 7:15 a.m. If it’s not on tomorrow for some reason, then your best bet is to tune in at the same time on Friday morning.

The previous segment, “House Hunting,” has now been posted to the audio archives for the online listening pleasure of the Smells Like Yukon Members Club.

The second segment of Smells Like Yukon’s Blockbuster Third Season aired this morning on CBC Yukon. Our website has now been updated with a plot summary, music details and behind-the-sounds commentary, including audio outtakes and the script.

If you have something to say about “House Hunting,” here’s the place to do it. If you own a house that you think would make an ideal Premier’s Mansion–and you’re willing to sell– please contact the Department of Finance or Yukon Housing directly. Smells Like Yukon is no longer in the real estate business

Note the exclamation point, as opposed to yesterday’s question mark.

As anticipated, the second segment of Smells Like Yukon’s Blockbuster Third Season was bumped from its scheduled time slot this morning. Something to do with Dawson City, fish, and a high speed catamaran. Now, we’ve just received word from CBC that the piece will air tomorrow morning (Thursday, October 2) at about 7:15 a.m.
