Please Motts let me hear you in Toronto. Ever since you left CFRB, I have the "MOTTS SHAKES". I know I can hear you via the internet, but I can't rid myself of those SHAKES until I can hear you in Toronto.
The Motts:
Paul has those too but he finds a few beers help!! You'll have to start lobbying some of the Toronto stations to pick up our show!

Way to go, Motts! Great coverage that's hard earned and well deserved. I hope the increased media coverage results in a growing listenership. Keep at it - we're cheering you on.

Thanks Liz! Glad so many of you have seen it. Hopefully it lets more of our listeners know how to find us and brings on more stations too!

Great story on the National Post today.
Though I must admit, I wasn't sure who this Mrs. Mott and Mr. Mott were at first. We have learned to know you as Carol and Paul.
We wish you continued success as you work toward national syndication!
The Motts:
Thanks Tim! That surprised me a bit too! Slightly more formal than we are!

Paul Sweating in the Dark

I totally agree with Carol and the conservation of hydro. Waste note want not!
Perhaps Paul was sweating in the dark because he's afraid of the dark!

We'll get him a little energy efficient night light. I need all the support on the issue I can get. Thanks!

AUTO INSURANCE
2010-08-24 by Greg
Hi there Motts;
Once again the government is re-regulating the insurance industry.
This has happened several times in the last 12 years, without success.The industry is not being "fixed" in favor of the consumer. When you look at the loss of benefits along with increased premiums.....how does a consumer benefit?. Is the government REALLY going after care providers and lawyers who have been on the gravy train at the expense of the insurance industry.....If so, how does this new move help those that are injured?
Folks.....call your broker before Sept.1 and make one single change to your policy....this re-news it for a full year under current legislation.
p.s. Jess , I tied my best ....but do not have very good grammar skills
The Motts:
Hi Greg...We got the point!! Some great questions raised. Hopefully we can find some answers.

Re:Military
2010-08-20 by Diana
It 's no surprise you would refer back to previous governments regarding our veterans.When does the Harper government step up to the plate and do the things the said were wrong with the "other government".All he has done is fire the employee he hired to do the job because he dared to speak up for the veterans.It seems if you dare to voice any concerns you are gone.And they say it's a democracy!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Motts:
The fact is, it no longer matters how OTHER governments treated our vets, THIS goernment has the power to do what's right. And kudos to the Ombudsman for a job well done! If you think, like many, that he got a raw deal...say so at the polls.

Rob Ford
2010-08-20 by Greg
Yes, I agree that it would be very hard to forget charges brought against oneself, especially in a different country ,on Valentines Day! I think that we have become sooooo complacent that things like this do not matter beyond the next headline.Let's face it, a politician either lies on the campaign trail or lies once office has been obtained. They make the rules for themselves too cover their as*** and tell us if we don't like it to vote in the "next" election. The cycle starts over and we are in the boat with usually the same people who lied in the first place! It is a no win situation when the criminals make the rules!
If I had a vote in T.O., I would vote FORD!.....lol what does that make me?
The sheep are in the pen folks....and the wolves know it.
The Motts:
Sad, but true Greg. When it comes to politics, it seems no matter who wins...WE lose!

Military likes you dead
2010-08-19 by Greg
Well.....our government gets more disgusting by the minute!
I suppose that it should not not come as a surprise considering that insurance companies rate your AB based on the probability of survival in an accident.
Is it not sad that our mortality is based on a $ figure?
The Motts:
As you heard our military analyst say it's not just this government, but previous ones as well that are making it difficult for soldiers. It was a civil servant that put it so crassly. As you say it's based on actuarial science.

Home Free
2010-08-20 by Sheila
Paul - I believe that Cody is darn lucky. Yes it is good that he is home and the Canadian Government should have intervened sooner, but I'm sorry why would his mother let him drive - why would she not read the documents before renting the car or even ask questions about the age. I am sure she would read any documents before she signed something here in Canada.
I blame the mother for her stupidity that allowed him to drive.
Whether you go to Cuba, Mexico, the US or even another province, always read the fine print as I am sure you will have to read between the lines and ask questions before you sign.
The Motts:
You're right Sheila, forewarned is forearmed. But like most who travel to foreign destinations, Cody's mom probably did't did check out the government's travel advisory. I'm sure the next time she travels she'll look before she leaps...and if she's smart, stay the hell out of totalitarian states!

People that stand up to Gov\'t
2010-08-19 by Ed
Paul/Carol-the following people stood up to the Conservative Gov't and said what was true-Paul Kennedy at the RCMP complaints commission, Peter Tinsley at the Military Police Complaints Commission, Linda Keen at the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, and now Mr. Stogran – all of them lost their jobs or did not have their tenure renewed after criticizing actions of the government or its agencies.
So I think it is time we gave Mr Harper the boot.
The Motts:
Doesn't seem to like disent does he?

Raw Milk
2010-08-19 by James
Hey guys, I heard your segment back on Newstalk 1010 on Raw Milk. Back then Michael Schmidt was getting into trouble by selling raw milk. And the issue came down to safety, is it safe for you or not? I have been following this case for some time now and would like to suggest to you guys to read the following web-site which is run by a doctor. I recall Paul was against Raw milk which in my opinion was not backed by any evidence. In fact, to the contrary: less people get sick from raw milk than from sushi, peanuts, kale and cantaloupes (according to the site).
And NATURAL milk that is not pasteurized is actually much healthier because you do not end up killing the good bacteria. Please check this link and let me know what you think.
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/08/14/the-war-over-raw-milk-heats-up.aspx
Thank you, James
The Motts:
Hi James,
You do go back! Glad you found us. We had Michael Schmidt on the show with us not to long ago.
Thanks for the link.

Carol
Information from CBSA details that plans have been made to locate the new arrivals in several rural areas once they have been given medical treatment.
FYI...16 landowners in and around Erin have each agreed agreed to take 4 refugees .They will be paid $3000.00 per person per month.CBSA has assured each landowner that the refugees pose no risk.
Well Carol what do think now?
I think I just heard you fall to the floor in a coma.
Of course I am kidding you....but get real Carol....do you really want Canada being a dumping ground for potential terrorists?
Sooner or later certain dubious groups will find Erin.....then I think you might feel differently.
Paul is right....treat them and send them back!
Have a great day!
The Motts:
Hey, I'm not upset..We're taking in 2. Let's see 2, that's 6,000!!!

Hi Guys,
I have a question for tomorrow's show...How can I stop my dog from pulling me along when we walk. If she see's squirrels, dogs, etc., I can barely hold her back.
I live in Georgetown and have been listening to you for several years. Glad to have you back on the radio again.
Thank you.
Nancy
The Motts:

Hey I found you two!

Good luck

Better off where you are now
2010-07-29 by Arlo
I'm glad you guys have a new show. Your 1010 program was the only thing I found listenable on that mismanaged mess of a station. (their "new" lineup is so insufferable I've taken 1010 off my presets) I just found out about the new show, and will see if I can pick it up in the GTA during the day.
The Motts:
Hi Arlo,
Glad you found us! We've been hearing much the same from many others. If your in the office come here to our site, go to the Listen page at 11 and there we are. If you have an Iphone you can stream the show that way. We have other stations interested in carrying the show so we will let
you know as new ones come on board in your listening area. There is always the option of listening to the podcasts!

Clothing Stains
2010-07-27 by Jeanne
While being a snowbird and ion a cruise with a bunch of our Canadian and American friends. I got a small butter stain on the breast of my blouse. I just covered it up with my hand and started to recite (for my American friends), the Pledge of Alliance. Everybody laughed and forgot about the stain.
The Motts:
This is in reference to the start of today's show! You had to be there. Quick thinking Jeanne!

Great to Hear You!!
2010-07-25 by M
I'm so glad to have found your show a few months ago. I've missed listening to you. I can't get the radio reception where I am so I listen to it later. Even at the cottage I go into town especially to download a bunch of shows so that I can listen later. This isn't a sound off but a good job - keep at it!!
The Motts:
We are glad you are taking advantage of the podcasts of the show. Others are doing the same thing.
Download a number of them to listen when you can. Hopefully in the near future, we'll have some cottage country coverage!

2010-07-21 by Liz
Hey there Motts - I'm getting ready to hit the road for a few weeks so my plan is to download a bunch of shows I've missed. Damed working sure gets in the way. Checked out the blogs - and while I was keen to read all of Paul's well-stated thoughts, I got to wondering where Jess has been (blog-wise). Time to hear from the Jr Mott. Keep up the great work - I'm still out here! Enjoy Green Acres, Liz
The Motts:
Glad to have you along! Yes, Jess must get back to blogging. She certainly tells us what she thinks often enough. The BF, the job..all demanding alot of time these days!! Enjoy your trip!

I rather enjoyed your half-Yiddish blog. Two things... Ya forgot they want to wipe Israel off the map and for you personally, be careful what you say.. about kissing your white Canadian tuchus... these guys over there can get kinky I hear, so glad you were not there or YOU might have gotten the surprise of your life:):):):)

Found You!
2010-07-19 by Janice
Good morning Motts. I had moved down to New York last year, but could still listen to you on CFRB. Can't believe they let you go. They must have rocks in their heads. Your show is so enjoyable. However I have found you on the internet, and can listen to your shows at my convenience.
Keep up the good work, and god bless you
The Motts:
Thanks! Welcome back. Glad your tuning in. Tell your friends and sign up for our newsletter. We'll keep you up to date on what's going on with themotts.ca!

eco blog
2010-07-19 by Nick
In the blog Paul says "The boy don't know much" I think that is totaly wrong. He was smart enough to marry Carol. She on the other hand? I really enjoy your shows. Caught Ted one night this past week just happened to be tuning in so I could hear Christie when it was anounced he would be filling in that evening. It is so sad there realy not much besides Robert worth giving of my time to. That may not be fair as the former afternoon host drove me away and I got hooked on Bill Walters. Now that he has moved to mornings I am just plain driven away. There is a big void between ten and one when Charles comes on. Unfortunetly where I work I can not get you but I am able to get the podcastes when I get home. keep up the great work.
Nick
The Motts:
Thanks Nick, I'm sure Robert says thanks too.

Echo fee!
2010-07-14 by Marilyn
Hi Guys,
Last Friday we purchased a $600 TV from Future shop and were charges an ecco fee of $26.25!! Naturally before HST ..... so we paid HST of $3.41 on the ecco fee.
This is crazy.
Marilyn
The Motts:
Your right! It's paying a tax on a tax. That's fair! Respond to our poll too.

Miss you
2010-07-14 by Sandra
Dear Motts, I turned on my radio (1010)only to discover after many years of listening to you that you were gone.I thought perhaps a holiday, but then I learned that CFRB had let you go. Glad I found you again. Listen every day.1010 is not the same without you. THEIR LOSS
The Motts:
Obviously we agree! So happy you found us. Spread the word!

I miss you guys so much on Newstalk 1010- have to listen to your commercials to get my fix. Sadly, can't listen to you while I work. I counsel women and I suspect that Paul's influence would lose me clients!! :-)
The Motts:
Yes, but I could use their support! If you are unable to listen live, check out our podcasts on our "Listen" page. We upload the shows daily and have them available 24/7. Alot of listeners are now tuning in once they are home getting dinner ready, etc! We are thrilled so many of you are
finding us. Tell your friends!

satelite radio
2010-07-13 by Nancy
I have finally found you and will put you on my radio dial at 11:00 a.m. and listen.
Have you ever thought of putting your show on satelite radio? I have xmradio and Oprah has her own show as well as her friend Gail King. The good thing is no commercials.
Glad you are back, Nancy Dellosso
The Motts:
Glad you found us. We have thought about Satellite Radio but we'd prefer venue's where our listeners don't have to pay! Like this, themotts.ca We are expanding slowly but surely on traditional radio as well. It just takes time as this is really a 2 person operation. Remember to listen to our "podcasts" on our Listen page if your not around at 11!

found you!
2010-07-12 by Claire
Dear Motts, I was so happy to open the Caledon Living magazine and read the article about you and especially to learn you are continuing broadcasting. We were so disappointed when you left CFRB and after Bill Carroll left, Newstalk 1010 lost us as regular listeners (after 20 years) Will look forward to hearing you both again and wish you well. Gary & Claire
The Motts:
We are thrilled you have found us! Tell your friends to tune into themotts.ca daily from 11 til noon. Go to our "listen" page and voila, there we are! With todays technology working for ourselves is far more fun than working for someone else.

Lloyd Robertson
2010-07-12 by Vardit
July 10th and I am listening to your podcast of July9th re: Lloyd Robertson. Say it ain't so! I am happy for Lloyd Robertson but will be very sad to see him leave as news anchorman of CTV news. My mom (now deceased) was so much in love with Mr. Robertson and my late dad used to say in all their years of marital bliss, Lloyd unknowingly gave my dad some competition. :):) One year, I wrote to CTV asking them if I could have an autographed picture of their very famous news anchor as my mom's birthday was coming up and I wanted to present her with this gift. Lloyd and CTV obliged and I presented my mom that year with a wonderful signed photo of Mr. Robertson. Even my dad thought it was a lovely birthday present for my mom.
Lloyd definitely is Canada's trusted news anchor. His face has been in my living room every night at 11:00p.m. for years and years.
In my opinion, no one can measure up to him. i.e. Ever watch some other Toronto tv channel when they anchor the news? It's laughable. Their opinion of what is happening for example with the Israeli-Palestinian issues can be seen all over their young faces purely by their facial expressions or body movements. ha! I sometimes want to phone in and tell them to stop anchoring the news and go join a protest someplace:):) With Lloyd, a different story - so professional one just cannot read what he is thinking and that makes a terrific news anchor. He will be missed!
The Motts:
We'll miss him too, but Lisa is a terrific choice.

Clifford Olsen sueing Gov\'t
2010-07-12 by Ed
Paul/Carol,
My wife and I agree with Paul that if Clifford continues to sue the government over his right to collect his pension,he should be threatened with placing him in the general population.That would be sweet,and maybe this would finally end this nightmare of an individual!
The Motts:
We've heard way too much from this guy in the last little while!

HST
2010-07-08 by Jeanne
Hi you two:
How is it fair that a senior couple who each receive 2 government pensions get $1,000 rebate for the HST but a single senior, getting 2 government pensions in total only receive $300? A household, whether one or two people still costs the same to run.
The Motts:
I guess it would be based on the individual amount you bring in. For example...we aren't getting any rebates based on what we made last year. This year it's another story! You could get ahold of Tim Hudak tim.hudakco@pc.ola.org he's looking for cases to fight against the HST.

Article
2010-07-08 by Sheila
Wonderful article - I just wish they took pictures that weren't so "posed" for - Paul do you really put your hand to your chin? and Carol do you really bend over he shoulder with a smile on your face?
Hopefully this will put the word out even more and increase your listenership!
I know I have been a listener since the beginning -
The Motts:
Thanks for your support Sheila. Yes, Paul's a poser and, you didn't see just what was on that screen! Lol!

NEW ECO FEES
2010-07-08 by Sam Gerald
were you aware of this new ECO TAX that was slipped in to start JULY 1St????
New eco fees catching consumers by surprise
Levies ranges from a few cents to several dollars
I was stunned when I can out of Canadian Tire all these new charges on the bill
and even for my drugs!!!!
What the %^&*# is going on here in Ontario?

The Motts:
Nope! Didn't see that one coming. We were all bracing for the HST on Canada Day! Nice way to celebrate the country's birthday!! Happy Canada Day!

The weather
2010-07-06 by Cindy
Hi, Paul,
I agree with you....I love the warmth but only when I can relax in it. You said you like it as long as you're doing something. I can't be doing anything but soaking in the rays, preferably by the lake or a pool!

The Motts:
Let's enjoy it while we can. The cold weather will be back far too soon!!!

Ahhh! Now your making me feel guilty. You can always download a podcast and listen to a previous show!

G20
2010-06-29 by Tom Dickerson
We were at the boat until the rain forced us home on Saturday around 5. I swear, on the trip home it was like listening to war of the worlds, I couldn't believe this was happening in Toronto. The cops should be commended for their restraint. Christie Blachford wrote in the Globe that they were pelted with bags of urine! Imagine, in Toronto! No serious injuries, no deaths, way to go cops! The most tragic thing we saw on TV was when the police horse slipped and fell! But he got up and continued on.
The Motts:
It most certainly was a pathetic display! Sad state of affairs in the city.

G20
2010-06-29 by Derek
Hey Motts,
Black Bloc = Undercover police/drug squad.
That is why they didn't arrest them.
Same with he police cars, they were strategically placed with windows open, so Black Bloc can do the damage.
They had to have it in Toronto, as this was an experiment for a Police State we will be seeing eventually.
I'm glad CP24 carried the live footage.
The police had to give up their illegal search and seizure once they found out the were live on TV.
The cops tried to get rid off all the cams, but didn't realize there were two TV's transmitting from up above.
Like I said, I'm glad CP24 had the balls.
Too many media outlets talk the talk, but they can't speak their mind, as they are all corporate pawns.
Derek
The Motts:
Interesting Derek! You mean these "pathetic, skinny, pasty white kids" as Peter Kormos described them on our show this morning were undercover cops? I guess anythings possible, where's the proof? As far as CP24 goes, your right they did a great job this weekend!

Toronto
2010-06-27 by julie
Hi guys. I just watched a video of the streets of TO from yesterday. DISGRACEFUL! I dont blame the police one little bit. Just wondering about Paul's thought on this. That is if you can print it because I know what I felt! Oh and good luck today if you get this in time!
The Motts:
I don't know why we keep giving police bullets, they don't use them! LOL Thanks for the good wishes. Another 4th!

This weekend, if you're in downtown Toronto you can enjoy many free activities like the (loud) outdoor concert as brought to you by the LRAD-X 100 Acoustic Communication Device -- worried about the heat? No worries! Have a splash in Water Cannon Park, now improved with a light touch of Febreze®.

Enjoy!!

HST - GOOD FOR US?
2010-06-23 by Sandra
Oh the HST..get used to it! It is a tax grab...I'm not against it as the Province is broke...good for consumers?Not a chance. Heating, Gas, Housing, Professional Services all being hit where we didn't pay before. Small Business people who have been losing money over the recession will receive more input tax credits as we were previously not allowed to claim PST paid on goods...seriously does anyone believe that there will be a trickle down effect...oh and submitting one payment instead of two...really big time saver(insert scarcastic tone here). Perhaps the Prov. gov't could ease the pain by reducing their take to 6% from 8% considering the MASSIVE Revenue jump they will recieve.
Sandra
The Motts:
Funny that! Why don't they cut their spending, and cut the % they bring in? That could be more acceptable.

Terrible Teens= Tidy Bowls
2010-06-18 by Ed
Paul,
I agree with you 110%.Oh the poor darlings,if I was their principal I would have them cleaning the bathrooms with a toothbrush!We some how don't appreciate what people do for a living.When my father was alive his favorite saying was," a job is a job", no matter what you do for a living as long as you have fun at it.Once you stop having fun, it's time to move on!
The Motts:
We can only hope this principal, who obviously believes in discipline, doesn't wind up unemployed.

Spoiled Kids
2010-06-18 by kelly
Awe, too bad for the kids, having to clean "toilies" as punishment! My Grandfather dug ditches to put food on the table during the Depression.
The Motts:
If we keep treating these kids with kid gloves little babies grow up to be big babies. These parents aren't doing their children any favours.

Betty White
2010-06-15 by Tania
Today on your show you were talking about Betty White and said she was 84, well I just wanted to tell you that she 88. I know it's hard to believe! :)
The Motts:
Thanks Tania. She is one amazing lady! We're hoping to get her on the air someday. Guess we better not wait too long.

Wedding Gifts
2010-06-02 by Ed
Paul/Carol,
When we got married thirty years ago.the rate was fifty to one hundred dollars.Now for a fact if you go to an Italian wedding these days the min. given is eight hundred dollars.
The Motts:
Wow! I guess thats called Inflation!

I will put my gift in a gift bag rather than in a box
The Motts:
Thinking outside the box! Clever!

Wedding Gift
2010-06-01 by Sheila
Here is another look at it see where they are registered and give a gift card or give them a gift card for a store that is far far away so they have to spend money to get a gift...
The Motts:
Devious, I like it (P)

Weddings
2010-06-01 by Ed
Paul/Carol
I know it is rather a bit ""rude"", but what the hell.Go and buy a card write a check or put cash in the card;and go and have a good time,and stop making a big deal out of it!
The Motts:
There you go Ray, what do you say?

weddings
2010-05-31 by Ray
Paul and Carol
I just received my first wedding invitation of the year. At the bottom of the invite it says no boxed gifts please. At first I wondered what that meant until it hit me that it means cash gifts only please. This bothers me so much that I dont even want to attend the wedding. Lets talk about it.
The Motts:
We'll talk about it! Seems rather rude that they are dictating what kind of gift they get.

Internet Porn
2010-05-27 by Rick
Hi Paul and Carol,
I was just sitting here at my computer surfing porn and listening to your show.....just kidding :) However, it does make you wonder how productive business would be if all of those surfing inappropriate content were actually doing the work they were paid to do!
Well, back to work ,...
The Motts:
Haha! We have been background "music" before!

Hab Nots
2010-05-26 by Tom
Well said Paul, the exposure of having the cup final in these two centres will do a lot more for hockey and the NHL than a small jingoistic market like Montreal. I would have liked to see two of the original 6 like Boston and Chicago in the final. I lived in Chicago on a work assignment for a year or so, and hockey is huge there. Go Hawks Go !
The Motts:
Thanks Tom. Lets hope the kids from the Madhouse can pull this off!

Hab nots
2010-05-26 by Jack
Paul:
I have to wonder why you would not want a Canadian team in the cup finals. Even I who have never been a Hab fan since the original six, can see the merits of a Canadian city being represented. It can be argued that most of the players in the final are Canadian but are the fans in the U.S. going to recognize this fact? NO. Will they be playing the Canadian anthem at these finals? NO. Are the players themselves going to wear their Canadianism? NO. Does not having a Canadian presence help Canada’s quest for additional teams in the NHL? NO. Does anyone in the U.S outside of Philly or Chicago care about the cup final? NO. If it weren’t important to cheer a Canadian team then why would you put yourself through the annual humiliation of calling yourself a Leaf fan?
The Motts:
First of all Jack, the Habs are a MONTREAL team, not a CANADIAN team, and the nationality of the players remaining doesn't matter because they're skating for a CLUB...not a NATION. We won't hear the National Anthem? GOOD! It's unnecessary, and usually performed poorly anyway...get on with the game! Does anyone outside Chicago and Philly care about this series? Yes...REAL hockey fans do. REAL fans will watch good hockey no matter who's playing. I can't wait! And finally, I love my Buds because they play for my city...not because they're based north of the 49th. GO HAWKS,GO!

our family loves to listen to
2010-05-23 by Jeanette
Hi Carol and Paul, you have no idea how much I love to catch up on weekends to your shows. You make my weekends so much fun and even my 33 year old son who has temporarily moved back home loves to listen to your program as well.. Keep up the good work. Love you! God Bless!! The other station has no idea what they threw away. lol
The Motts:
So I guess you'd call it a Motts Marathon on the weekend!! Glad your with us.

Haircut
2010-05-19 by Sheila
Sorry Carol - but I agree with Paul (for a change) Personally I think that it was the stores fault - The person behind the counter should have asked whether it was ok if you were taken first.
Obviously they dont have ""great"" hairdressers if it takes over an hour to do a wash and set for a older lady.
The Motts:
An older lady with no hair, don't forget!!! He does have a point but I can't make it easy for him. Let's not forget everything is about "him"!! LOL

ring worm
2010-05-13 by Nick
Hello Carol and Paul
I can not believe all the second guessing I am hearing about the SPCA decision in Newmarket. If what has been reported is true and I have no reason to doubt it. Why would anyone disagree with the Vets who are on site and have training in these matters. While it is very sad that it(the ringworm) got out of control from human error I have never known of a Vet and I farmed for a long time and delt with many who would put an animal down if there was any reasonable alternative.
Nick
PS Is your old station still on the air?
The Motts:
You make a very good point Nick. Every vet I know will do what they can to try and save
the animal but of course when necessary will put them down. Very interesting discussion this morning with Dr. Maureen Anderson of the Unversity of Guelph. She said with an infestion of this magnitude cost of treatment would be factor.
Regarding our old station, yes, its still on the air but with a greatly diminished audience. (and of course we feel terrible about it. LOL!)

todays show
2010-05-12 by Craig
Attention Motts: Is there another policy domain -- say, air traffic safety -- that you think should be amended in such an undeliberative, slap-dash, non-evidenced,manner on the basis of fear-mongering and moral panic? No? Why should criminal justice be different? This government has brought forward sweeping changes to criminal justice policy on the basis of no research or consultation with experts and stakeholders whatsoever.
Good policy is thoughtful, deliberative and contemplative -- it emerges from serious and sustained study of the FACTS.
What we have is a lot of the latter. Is that the kind of Canada you want?-- Craig Jones | Executive DirectorThe John Howard Society of Canada
The Motts:
The kind of Canada we want is where the punishment fits the crime and the safety of society is
paramount. Those who prey on the weakest members of society (our children) have in our opinion committed an unforgivable offense and shielding their record in any way is wrong. Thanks Craig.
The debate on this issue is far from over and we hope to speak to you again.

Fantastic Show Burn The Floor!
2010-04-29 by Sonia Loic
Hi Carol and Paul,
My friend Darlene Jukes and I went to the show last night.
It was fantastic, the seats were perfect!!! Thank you so much for
this opportunity, we greatly appreciated the night and walked out with an adrenaline rush….. a show that everyone must see!
Thanks again,
Sonia in Bolton
The Motts:
It is an amazing show! It makes you want to take dance doesn't it? See Burn the Floor at the Canon Theatre before it moves on.

Glad to hear from you guys
2010-04-28 by Vera
Glad to hear from you guys. I miss you guys. I have been on the internet a couple of times to see where you are. I wish you were on a little bit longer on the radio station. I do not listen to the other station anymore but cept the news.
The Motts:
Hi Vera,
We will extend the show to 2 hours soon. It does seem to go by far too quickly!

WOW!
2010-04-23 by Greg
I am glad to have found you both back on-air.
I have been a fan for many years.The both of you brought such a wealth of knowledge/controversial issues/debate/insight to talk radio.I can remember Carol broadcasting from home in Oakville when she was recovering, I remember Niagara (no Paul not viagara).
Today I will be bumping Stafford and will be listening for the first time.
Glad you both are back!
Greg
The Motts:
Glad you found us! Now the challenge is to let everyone know where we are. We are growing slowly but surely, with thousands listening through this website on our listen page, and on Radio stations, Erin 101.5, Bolton 105.5, and Caledon 102.7. If you have a local station in your area you may want to suggest a little "Motts" programming for them.

Pleased to meet Carol today
2010-04-15 by Doug Beffort
Carol. Just a note to say what a pleasure it was to meet you at our home today as you met with Doreen about the upcoming Fashion Show for Bethell House.
I have been an avid listener for years and will return now that I know when and where to reach you.
Cheers and thanks, again.
Doug Beffort
The Motts:
Hi Doug. It was a pleasure meeting you too! Paul was thrilled to hear that you agree with him more than me. I just said...I'll have to work on you! Bethell House is quite an amazing place! I'm thrilled to be joining Doreen (who has worked tirelessly on this) on Sunday as the MC for the Spring Affair..A lovely fundraiser for a very special house. Bethell House will provide end of life care in a serene home environment. Something we would like for ourselves and our loved ones at that time of our lives.

Great to Hear you both

Thats terrific Stephanie! Glad you found us.

Driving Test
2010-04-12 by Tom
Paul, for once you are wrong. For two of my kids, we left the GTA for license testing because of an 18 month waiting list, not to avoid traffic. My son got his in London, hardly the boon docks, and my daughter in Orangevill, home of the OPP that lets no one get away with anything.
The Motts:
Good point Tom and I'm sure there are others who fall into the same category. But it's quite obvious that alot of these Toronto Driving Schools are just trying to make it easier for their students, many of whom have failed repeatedly.
P.S. Hey Tom, this isn't the first time Paul's been wrong (LOL Carol)

Just wanted to say Hi
2010-04-08 by Raney
I am away from Canada for years at a time and so looked forward to hearing your voices again during my brief visit back. I always enjoyed your talk show so much. I am sorry that you are gone from radio but perhaps I will be able to keep in touch now from where I live and follow Canadian issues along with you.
Blessings to you!
The Motts:
Hi Raney. Now you can take us with you whereever you go. Just tune in to themotts.ca daily at 11 for the show. We are live on the internet, the way of the future.

Glad I finally found you
2010-04-08 by Sheryl B.
Hi Carol and Paul. I was an avid CFRB listener and was very disappointed that you were let go. I have been searching off and on and have finally found where you are and I am thrilled. Now I can listen to you every day on the internet. Congrats on a great show!
The Motts:
Hi Sheryl,
We are thrilled you've arrived! Let your friends know. Send off notes to everyone in your contact list!

The Motts:
Thanks Natalie. Wonderful to have you with us. Please send a note to everyone in your contact list. Tell them where the Motts are!!!

HOSPITAL COSTS
2010-03-31 by Jeanne Bouchard
Hi Carol:
Re above. Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie - Volunteer porting - I did it for 8 years
New Brampton Civic Hospital - Unionized same position starting at $21.00 per hour
Unnecessary to have lunch and dinner full course hot meals
Braided rope - $9.98 at CTC. $60. at hospital supply company.
Enough already.
Jeanne
The Motts:
Thanks for your insite, I'm sure everyone has a story about wasted funds. A crying shame when there isn't enough money to properly fund timely Scans, etc and those who can, go Stateside.

Robbing elderly in hospital

According to the news, two men were charged with 200 counts of robbing people in the hospital.These two pieces of trash should be branded on the forehead for their crimes.

paralympics opening ceremonies
2010-03-26 by steve
I thought the opening ceremonies for the paralympics were as good if not better then the other opening ceremonies.BTW does anyone know the name of the guitarist at the paralympics opening....he was awesome but his name was never mentiond.
thanks
The Motts:
Good question? Can anybody help Steve?

Olympics
2010-03-25 by Kelly
I was a little disconcerted that the Paralympics were reduced to sound bytes on the evening news, but it *is* all about the numbers: $$$$$
(I believe the Paralympics are separate from the Special Olympics, too.)
The Motts:
Thats what it seemed like to me too. But, it was nice to hear that the viewing numbers were up for the games and there was more coverage. Check out the story below.
<a class="main" target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5gwt2h6BNMTZA7KhYK1XUc035A3PA">More than 13 million Canadians watched some of 2010 Paralympics</a>
|
Paralympics
2010-03-17 by Michelle
Is anyone else upset and disappointed with the lack of coverage? CTV only shows ""highlights"". Those athletes deserve the same courtesy and respect as the ""able-bodied"" Olympics!
The Motts:
This is not about political correctness, it's about business..Who is going to watch, the numbers are what count. I (Carol)would agree that there should be more coverage. Just personally I've looked for it a few times and haven't found anything. Their stories are extraordinary! We would love to hear how others feel. Respond here to Michelle's comments.

Litter
2010-03-16 by Tom
Paul you are so right. I thought the provincial flower was the trillium not the Tim Hortons cup! We live in Palgrave and I do stop and pick up the bottles and trash in our subdivision when I walk the dog, with a baggie I might add!!
The Motts:
Thanks for your comment on the blog. I'm sure most who read it will agree with us.

Special Olympics.
2010-03-12 by Sheila
It is absoulutly amazing the effort put forth by this athletes. Do you ever wonder that if these athletes were not tagged ""SPECIAL"" they would be right up there with the other olympians that got a lot more coverage than the Special Olympics will ever get.
The Motts:
No question what they accomplish is extraordinary!!

The writer from Texas
2010-03-03 by Declan
I do not even know his name and I will not bother looking him up, but I am sure he is thankful that by your discussion you have given him exactly what he wanted.
All I wanted to say - have to go eat a chicken now.
The Motts:
Your right! Our sportswriter friend is seeking attention and he's getting it from much larger networks than ours (eventhough we are heard round the world on this fantastic site themotts.ca designed by our webmaster Declan West). As for the chicken....you monster, may Peta forgive you!
If you are looking for a web designer contact Declan West. Go to our "About Us" page for more

hey guys love the website and your new hair Carol. Just wondering where the picture of Pepper is? Saw Mike Gryner at Hits the other day, really hasnt changed toooo much. Has a real nice horse for the grand prix. Perhaps you guys need to do a show from down here in the sunny(but cold) south!
Julie.
P&C..Hi Julie. Rub it in that you are down enjoying Florida! Doing the show from there sounds like fun. Keep your spare room open! I've been meaning to put that picture up on the website. Shows me jumping horses, back when I had more guts than brains, and your Dad was coaching me! We both look a little surprised at the height of the fence. Check our photo section!

I feel that things just get better and better - All that Gold at the Olympic, Canadian spirit and much more and now today I find the Motts - Radios Golden Couple!!!!
What was CFRB thinking???? I looked everywhere for you - I was a guest on your show a few times (auctioneer and appraiser) and missed your show.
Keep up the great work
Barb Richards

Paul, we love your blogs...who knew you had so much to say!? Seriously, Paul you should write a daily column. Carol, Paul and Jess, we are so happy for you, to see all the hard work starting to pay off. Great show, topics, guests and most of all, really smart listeners!!
The Motts:
Thanks Angie!!! (Who happens to be my sister in law) but,she's absolutely right.

Happy I found you again!
2010-02-25 by Conni
I was SO disappointed to hear about you guys leaving CFRB. I looked forward to listening to you each day but I am very happy that I found you again on the web. A nice touch adding your daughter to the show here and there but I wish you were on longer each day.
Thanks for keeping me company at work!
All the best to your family
The Motts:
Let all your friends know that you've found us! We will extend the length of the show
eventually. Keep them wanting more, thats what we say!!

Miss You
2010-02-25 by Pat Leggett
So glad I have found you. Now that Bill Carroll is also gone I rarely listen to CFRB. They have goofed big time. When I am home at 11AM I will try to find you on the computer. Radio was easier for me though.Good luck. You two are great & I hope your 2 kids are doing well. Miss hearing about the family.
The Motts:
Hi Pat,
Just come to our site and click on the "Listen" page. Its easy. We are carried on 3 local radio
stations too. Erin Radio where we orginate 101.5, The B in Bolton 105.5FM and Country Caledon 102.7 FM. There are more on the way!

Joannie Rochette
2010-02-24 by Sandy
As much as I enjoy Hockey...the true Spirit of the Olympics lies within the performance and heart of Joannie Rochette last night The Heartache she has endured with the sudden loss of her Mother...to overcome this to show all her years of training in her seemingly flawless performance brought tears to myself and many others I am sure...so Proud to be a Canadian today! Thank You Joannie Rochette!!!
The Motts:
Your absolutely right! That she was even able to perform is certainly a testament to her courage, focus and the support of people around her. Lets hope she can realize her dream.

Goaltender should be Changed
2010-02-23 by Ed
I think that if they stick with Martin Brodeur they will lose.He is in my opinion a little full of himself.Look what happened in the second game almost lost, and to play him again, give me a break!
Give Roberto a chance.I think the team plays better when Roberto is in net.
The Motts:
You obviously have more faith in Luongo than I do but I sincerely hope your right!
(Paul...Fingers crossed)
Just to say Hi!!
2010-02-21
I have wondered for a long time where you two got to after you were let go. I have always enjoyed listening to you on CFRB, and it is not the same without you. I have cut down my listening time to Bill Carroll, but now that he has left I will probably not listen at all!!
Jackie
P&C. We are happy to have you with us!
you are STILL missed
2010-02-20
Hi Paul & Carol: Yesterday I attended a facebook goodbye gathering for Bill Carroll & Sylvie (so generous of them both to meet us). Just to let you both know many folks miss you. Your names were mentioned with fond memories.
Take care, Jo Ann
P&C..Hey JoAnn we are not dead! Let everyone know we are at themotts.ca! All the best to Bill, Sylvie, and the kids.

Radical Islamic Conference
2010-02-18
I thought you might find this interesting (as perhaps for a topic?): This conference took place just outside of Toronto last week-end. Take note of Michael Keefer, a tenured professor at the University of Guelph. ""Conference of Muslims in the Media too hot for some of its Speakers.""

Olympic Suits
2010-02-17
I thought the hockey establishment was encouraging their people to fit in with the Olympic spirit. Then what’s up with all the suits? Wayne Gretzky handing out autographs dressed to the nines. Jarome Iginla interviewed last night after the game in suit and tie. Is there a rule that prevents the coaches from dressing down? Even the announcers would look more comfortable fitting in.
That’s the way I see it.

The day Henderson scored his goal I was told I was to be laid off my job.
The day Alexandre Bilodeauy won his medal I retired.

Ok, so you're one! {LOL] Congrats on your retirement J.C...I hope it's long and happy.

So nice to hear you again - and from Erin no less !! I still listen to 1010 but the 1-3 spot ( 12-3 really ) has never been the same . Hope this works out for you two . Must be a nice commute now you only have to fight the traffic in Erin ( or finding a parking spot ) .

Cast out the Sinner - Paul
2010-02-11 by Jack
The fact that Giambrone fools around is minor compared to where he choses to perambulate. His office, a place of work, a place where decisions are made on the behaviour of fellow TTC employees many subordinate to him. Did he also charge for overtime?
The Motts:
I don't know Jack...I just hope for her sake he didn't fall asleep on the Job.

hello
2010-02-06 by joanne
i,m so glad I bought a computer and found the Motts.
miss you so much on 1010 radio. They certainly forgot about their loyal listeners. Now I must figure out how to use all these arrows etc. cheers Joanne
The Motts:
Hi Joanne. My Mom did it, you can too. This is the way of the future, you'll be a techie in no time!
welcome back into my day!
2010-02-06
Dear Paul and Carol,
so glad to have figured out I can listen to you on the internet. Can we also listen to you on the radio by any chance?
Missed you lots,
Regards,
Fiamma
P&C...only if you are in the Erin, Caledon, Bolton area at the moment. We are hoping to have more
come on board soon. Contact your local stations and pitch them for us!!

Podcast
2010-02-04 by Dave
Will you have plans to update your podcasts so we can download then to ipods,iphones Etc I am not always near a computer or radio station that you broadcast on but if there was a way to have the podcast automatically download to my apple or Blackberry device that would be great.
The Motts:
Hi Dave,
The podcasts are available daily but truthfully I had no idea that they could be automatically
downloaded. I'll check it out with our webguy and see if we can facilitate that. We are
working on extending that "network." Approach your local stations and tell them you want
"The Motts"!!!

I finally found you guys!
2010-02-03 by Wayne O
I could not have been happier this morning when I "GOOGLED" you and read the great news that you were back on the air. Like so many others, I could not understand why CFRB (I will not call them newstalk 1010) let you go.
But enough about that, I wish you all Good Luck and have forwarded your link to my Mom and Sister who will be so thrilled to hear this news.......
I have folowed you on the air from your days in Niagara Falls and even had the courage to call you back then.
All the best,
Wayne O
The Motts:
Its always exciting to get e-mails like this one. All kinds of them coming in. Thanks so much
for looking for us and joining The Motts club!!

Saw your comment on the cbc blog. Maybe you two could join the CBC. Time for something different!
Congratulation on working in Erin.
The Motts:
We might be just a little too different for the CBC! It will be difficult to fill those shoes. Glad you joined us, tune in at 11 on our "listen" page.
|
Glad to hear you again
2010-02-01 by Judy
My hubby found you first and mentioned to me that I should tune in at work....I have been listening on-line since last Tuesday...even put a reminder on my calendar. Don't like CFRB anymore I listen to music during the day now accept at 11 please increase to two hours soon You have been missed.
The Motts:
Glad your with us. Let all your friends know!

Irony
2010-01-28 by Liz
Hey Paul and Carol - isn't it ironic that Walter the Douche entitled his post "Limited"? Gotta love the a-holes with keyboard courage.
Sunday morning was Mott-mania around here. I've been working a lot so the podcasts were piling up. I listened to a number of them back to back and thoroughly enjoyed puttering around the house and cooking while you provided the entertainment - nice job. Again, I just love the spunk you're bringing to the mic. So genuine and enjoyable. I also love that you're sounding happier and stronger with each show.
And that daughter of your - wow, I love her blogs. She writes beautifully. This past one is gold - in such a short piece Jess created such a visual. And then just like that -snap! That lock closed on the cougars in their cage with her sweet ending - way to go, Jess!
You can hear the death rattle across terrestrial radio. You're where the future is and I'm just one of so many who applaud you.
Keep kicking ass, Motts!
Liz
The Motts:
Thanks Liz for your resounding endorsement. Glad you are enjoying the shows and Jess's
blogs! and, go easy on Walter. As much as we would like everyone to like what we do the
fact is you can't please all the people all the time. Taking hits is part of the game!
Walter
2010-01-27
Walter if you don't like the show just don't listen like I have done to CFRB. There is no need to be so negative.
Nick
Finally found you!!
2010-01-27
I was so ticked off when you were suddenly gone from CFRB. (Guess you weren't too happy either!) Been thinking about you guys often since then and wondering what had happened to you. Surfing the net this aft I finally found you here. Unfortunately I work in the morning so can't listen to you live, but will do in the afternoon when I get home. (I'm not happy with the line-up at CFRB now so don't listen there very often!) Wish you all the best in this new endeavour.
Patricia
Make Over
2010-01-27
Wow, what a change. A change for the worse. The new cut looks like a plastered down pageboy cut. My buddy says that when women reach menopause they announce it by cutting their hair. You had such lovely medium length full hair... why would adopted this older style?
I hope that you let your hair go back.
Carl
C..I'm not quite there yet Carl! but thanks anyway LOL I change my hair every once in a while. Now I know how Pamela Wallin felt years ago when she changed hers and had an onslaught of angry e-mails!!
Yay! Found Ya!
2010-01-27
Hey Paul and Carol,
I echo many others when I say that CFRB must have experienced some sort of brainfreeze when they let you go. I've been following both of you for many years, all the way back to the early days of the late, great John Michael.
So glad to have found you and I wish you every success in this new venture. I hope to hear you guys talk for many more years.
Sincerely,
Karen

Try to listen everyday!
2010-01-27 by Ann
Hey Paul & Carol,
I found you thru equiman at emg and try to listen everyday! Hope the show goes to 2 hours soon. I was reading that Darcy has dysplasia. I had a lab that was diagnosed at 6 months, we did a triple pelvic ostiautomy (spelling?) and it was totally successfull; he lived out a long happy life running around the barn. Hope all works out well.
The Motts:
Hi Ann,
Equiman has sent us a number of listeners. Thanks to Craig Collins! Your obviously a horse
owner/lover, check out the new bedding I'm using on our sponsors page. We are in the
midst of searching out options for Darcy. He's doing fine at the moment.
Glad your back!
2010-01-26
We too were long-time listeners of your show (and boarders from way back - remember Revelle and Daphne?).
Thanks to the Bold Canine site, we will be listening again.
All the best to both of you!
Pam and Kevin
P&C...Glad you found us. Wonderful to have you on board!
MAGIC WINDOWS ad
2010-01-26
Hi, just heard the MW ad on old station. It was D.C. doing it??? It sounded like Homer Simpson doing D.C. doing Homer Simpson.
Shout, shout, no pacing, no enunciation. Wow what a difference from P & C...............
P&C..Hey, Paul is a big fan of Don Cherry. Don has become a spokesperson as well for Magic Window after hearing our glowing reports for them!
limited
2010-01-26
Was tuning in on F.M as my car radio has bad reception coming towards Erin from T.O.
I tune in to Erin radio and there you are.
I am sorry to say that you still have a boorish predictable show .
You argue a subject and people with less of a life than you call in to take sides.
Well thank god Erin radio has such a limited broadcast range.
This Is one station I can now do without.
Walter
P&C..Ahhh but Walter you can hear us anywhere on themotts.ca...around the country, even around the world. How's that for your worst nightmare!! LOL

Found ya!!
2010-01-25 by Hugh
I am one of these who found you via Joe's article.
Was only few days ago a friend and I were wondering when you might reappear.
With todays technology,I am SURE your current set-up will only grow.
(Now listening to your interview with Walker)
BEST to you both!!
Oh.rarely listen to "newstalk" anymore.lol
The Motts:
Glad you found us now let the world know! We'd love to hear from you during the show.
Thanks to voicemailtel we have a toll free line that covers North America! 1-877-976-6887
thats 1-877-97-MOTTS Cute eh?
Listening on 102.7FM
2010-01-25
Just a quick hello- I'm listening this morning on country 102.7 in Caledon. Life is good here in Caledon -
new country station with lots of Canadian content, and now the Motts are back! I'm a happy lady! Best of luck to your new show!
Deb
Found You..
2010-01-24
Hi Carol & Paul,
A big thanks to Joe W. for letting us know where to find you.
You have been missed!
I'm sure the last few months have not been easy for you, but I'm glad to see you both up and running again..
I shall be tuned in as long as I can get the signal..good luck with the show I'm sure it will be 2hrs before long.

Glad your back!
2010-01-24 by Jack & Marg
We were long-time listeners to CFRB but no longer since they changed things and kicked out you and others. Thanks to Joe Warmington we found you again and will be listening.
The Motts:
Thanks so much Jack and Marg. You can call us during the show too. Use our voicemailtel
toll free line. Tell your friends where we are. Again a big thank-you to Joe Warmington for
letting you know where we are.
miss you
2010-01-23
do you know when we will receive your program in toronto radio cant get the signal from 101.5 or 105.5 i guess its to weak.
i cant be with the computor during your show but am near a radio. It was like loosing a member of my family when you left cfrb.
P&C...I'm afraid at this point in time we don't have a station in the Toronto market. We understand that for alot of you listening may be difficult for the time. Thats why we are providing the podcasts of the show so people can listen at their leisure.
Chase

How is Chase doing?
Your vids are really a nice feature. Up close and personal.
thanks

P&C..Chase is the healthy right now. Unfortunately Darcy has been diagnosed with hip
dysplasia. He's happy and he's alright at the moment.
Welcome Back
2010-01-23
Thanks to Warmington for mentioning your site. Well done and welcome back.
welcome back
2010-01-23
read about you in Sun this am. I missed hearing you both and was avid CFRB listener until Toronto Sun said it was 2nd to 680 and I now share my listening time between the 2. I love how Paul is always right and Carol is very rarely. best wishes to you both,
Murray
Web site
2010-01-21
I am not trying to be critical, I really want you to succeed, I would respectfully suggest that you update your site more often. The blog dates to 12/28, the sound off to 1/15. Just a suggestion from a loyal fan.
Blog
2010-01-22
A Blog is a 'draw' to a site and a Blog with infrequent entries makes one think coming back is a waste of time.
Dave.
P&C..Both you Dave, and Scott are absolutely right. We've had a few technical issues
with the site that have yet to be addressed. Hopefully they will be shortly and we'll have
everything back in order along with the blogs. Thanks for being patient!
Racial slur
2010-01-21
(I can't access your page for the phone # so will reach you here:) As per the topic of the hockey player and team suspension, the
remark was not a racial slur.
He said, "Don't you have a building to blow up?" Not much better, but not a racial slur.

Big win for the Republicans
2010-01-20
I am so glad Scott Brown won the MA seat for senator. This has sent a huge msge to the Democrats, the American people and also to the world. USA will not accept a Marxist government. As Senator elect Brown said in his victory speech, "Our taxes will go to
taking weapons away from terrorists, not giving them lawyers". So you see, it's not only about economics and healthcare, it's about apologizing to Muslim countries for doing the right thing. Americans are a proud people and they showed it by way of their
vote yesterday. Scott Brown for President!:)

Once format changes and more stations come on-line will I be able to listen in the car as I travel around the Province? Seems that most of the potential stations are low-powered community stations. Perhaps satellite radio link? I would go and purchase one.
I am rarely in the office around 11.00 am
Dave.
P&C..Hey Dave some of the new vehicles will be equipped with internet capability. Its only a matter of time before we all have them. Obviously not good news for traditional radio.

2 Hour Format
2010-01-15 by Monique
Hey Motts! When will you be extending your format to 2 hours? I enjoy listening to you in the morning - but it is a little too short and sweet.
The Motts:
Its a discussion we are having right now. It involves the stations we are on, and
others coming on-line.

So glad to find you always enjoyed you.
happy both of you are doing great,
love you talk show i will be listing

Obesity
2010-01-15
It's an alarming fact that the the greatest number of people who are obese in Canada, the US and other modernized countires are YOUTH. This being the fact, I think that it is the responsibility of their parents to teach our children by example, on how to eat nutritionally!!!!
If the parents buy/eat chips,pop, candy, alot of fast food, how can they expect their children not to do the same?
I think/hope that Nutrition should be a core subject in our schools as early as Kindergarten. I'm glad that some schools are banning unhealthy snacks in vending machines and serving more nutritional food in their cafeterias.
I was watching Global TV the other night and they mentioned that McCains Foods Inc. is starting to eliminate the unhealthy food additives and use more fresh vegetables, etc. in their foods.
And Campbells soups have reduced the amount of salt in their soups by half the amount. The still have MSG in them though so I won't buy them.
I feel that you were a little bit too condescending on yout talk show (Friday, Jan. 15th) to obese people.
Maybe you/we should consider the underlying causes of obesity, and we need to haver more support programs (e.g. 12 step programs like AA) to help people who are addicted to food, and often use it to cover up severe depression/abuse e.g. bullying) and other problems.
sincerely,
Debbie
big butts
2010-01-15
Given particularly the JayLo influence, what do you think is the most common plastic surgery procedure in South America? Yup, butt implants or enhancements!! They love their butts down there. :)
U of G
2010-01-14
Actually, Nick is right: The University of Guelph is known as the U of Moo due to the Agricultural College. But U of Goo is also acceptable, but not really endorsed by us true Alumni. Trust this Guelphite!
~ Kelly
P&C..So, this institute of higher learning is either the U of Moo, or the U of Goo!!!
Thanks, didn't know that.
Homeless
2010-01-14
My son does charity work for Hope on Wheels. This is an organization that seeks out homeless people sleeping on the
street, check on their well being, hand out food, blankets etc. He has cerebral palsey and has trouble walking himself,
but it doesn't stop him from volunteering.

Mike Strobel
2010-01-13 by Denise
Mike Strobel's column slamming the rich... shame on The Canadian Centre for Diversity
Maybe they should choose a better battle.
The Motts:
Your right! Couldn't believe it when we read his column.
The homeless experience
2010-01-13
Hey Guys...just listening. In hearing what they girls will be experiencing...I think a more realistic experience for these girls is to go out and do something for the homeless...ie handout sleeping bags to those who live on the street to keep them warm. That would help them see first hand what conditions the homeless live in. Make it an impactful experience.

P&C..Good idea

ultra sound
2010-01-12 by Erin
Funny thing....since ultra sound has been around it seems alot of the children have been born with ear problems...just a theory...but I bet in years to come we will find out that babys who had ultra sound had their ears damaged...4 little boys on our street all have tubes in their ears...all had at least 2 ultra sounds when they were in the womb.
The Motts:
Interesting!
If they haven't already its something our great medical minds may want to explore.
Nail Polish

Carol/Jess/Paul,
I agree with Jess, I like darker nail polish - BUT..........
Carol - I will wear any colour of your choosing if I win the makeover contest.that includes a manicure/pedicure..lol
Thanks
C...Tell all your friends about the makeover too! Its going to be wonderful.
Happy To Hear You
2010-01-07
Hi Carol and Paul, I have been listening to you for many, many, years. You introduced me to talk radio and I have been a
huge fan of yours ever since. I am so glad that you are back and am really impressed with your incredible effort to get
your web site and show up and running. I am telling everyone I know that you are back. I would do a Google search
once and a while to see if there was any news about "The Motts" but actually found you on Facebook.
I wish you both and your family the best of luck!!!!

Wishing you good luck
2010-01-07
I was talking with a co-worker of mine about radio listening habits. The big station's call letters came up and I told
Marlene that I used to be an avid listener, however since the Motts left I know longer had reason to listen to that
station. With a gasp, she told me that the two of you were her favorites and she missed you. For some reason I had
done an internet search about you and got the latest news on your activities. You now have another, and former
listener switching to your new station. Thanks to both of you and sincere best wishes for your continued success.
All the best for 2010.
Joe.
podcasts
2010-01-08
Hello Paul and Carol
I have been listening to the podcasts heard the first 3 shows live but can not take any more time off work so have to be
content with that. Have been wondering what your youngest is doing? Last I remember he was considering leaving
Moo U.
Nick
P&C..Its actually Goo U (Guelph University) and he's still at it. He's in his 3rd year of biological science. Thanks for
asking. It would be great if you can join us live, but if you can't click on our podcasts at your convenience!
Found you!!!
2010-01-07
Thank heaven I've finally found you again. The last year has been rather ugly for me in a personal way and losing you
from CFRB really topped it off. (Don't even listen to them any more except to John Tory occasionally.) I can now look
forward to a morning look with coffee although I will miss the dialogue that was always fun when I got through on air.
Have a wonderful new year, mine is already looking up now I've found you are active again.

Dreams
2010-01-07
Is anybody dreaming about the Motts? I had a dream last night that I was stranded in Erin, and they drove me home.
Despite the fact that I lived in Ospringe, and it was way out of their way. Meanwhile, me and Carol watched a parade
beforehand and she won luggage in a draw. Freaky!
~Kelly
Great to have you back on air
2010-01-06
Hi Carol and Paul,
I was shocked when CFRB dropped you folks from its schedule - a big mistake from my perspective, and from the
perspective of lots of other folks I know who "were" (and I emphasize "were")loyal RB listeners !
I'm so very glad to hear good things are happening for you again and extend very best wishes for every success !

The Motts:
Thanks so much! We are really enjoying this. We have great guests coming up but hope
to hear from many of you during the show too!
Podcasts
2010-01-05
Hey Motts - I absolutely LOVE your podcasts. Thank you for posting them. I re-listened to a number of them over the holidays. With work and clients it's almost impossible to catch the show live so I listen to it at night. Or, I take you with me on my i-POD. I started listening to you while on mat-leave almost 15 years ago so I'm delighted that we're back together once again.
Also, I find you more genuinely enthusiastic and more engaged these days. Maybe there's a bit more freedom in this arena - whatever the case, keep your personalities front and centre. A breath of fresh air that's been sorely missed.
Fondly, Liz

Your Back!
2010-01-04 by Netta
Hi Paul & Carol,
Just checked back with your website and realized that you were back on the air via the internet. Will be checking into the show tomorrow.
Good luck on your new venture. Will let you know in a week or so of listening what I think of it, good or bad. Sorry but I will be honest.
Congratulations
Netta
The Motts:
Hi Netta. We want to hear what everyone thinks. Call us and let us know on air! This is a
work in progress.
Glad to hear your voices
2010-01-03
Dear Carol and Paul, so glad to hear your voices and opinions again on air. I had expressed my displeasure to CFRB about
their changes and have not listened to the station since. I had been listening to you there for some years online up here
in Parry Sound. Glad to see your sponsors are with you as well.
I will be listening when I can between 11am-noon and when I cannot I will check the podcasts.
All the best to you both in the coming year; have a happy, healthy, and prosperous one.
Regards,
June

Paul
2009-12-31
I remember 16 or so years ago when you took over from Betty Kennedy on CFRB. One of the first things that I found
hard to believe was that Paul was (is?) is smoker. That turned me right off and as a result I was only an occasional listener.
How could I respect the opinion of anyone who was stupid enough to smoke???????? Paul, if you gave it up, let me
know if your habits have changed and I might respect you a lot more. (I quit over 27 years ago and I didn't think it was
that big a deal.)
Pics and blog
2009-12-31
Love the pics......I laughed at pic of Erin Radio station because of the construction barrier in front....Is that because of the
'very important people inside'?? What a lovely town....I hate to say I have not 'been' to Erin and I am in Oakville............
.LOVED Jess' 'outside the comfort zone' blog....I am facing that now....but I am 57 in January.
P&C...Its never too late, just a little more scary! Good luck!
I found you
2009-12-28
Needless to say I was dumbfounded when CFRB changed the format and you disappeared - have been trying to find you
guys and I DID just this minute. A bit of a late Christmas present but welcome . Now to see if I can get you in Barrie.
Wishing you all the best for 2010 and hope to hear you are on the air a bit more than an hour.

Airline flights

When are we going to wake up to the fact that certain demographics are making flying hell on wings?! It's time for
specific profiling for suspect persons from suspect countries. My friends flew into Amsterdam later that night, and
had a nightmare clearing out of Toronto! Enough of this! The blue-haired lady of age 75 is NOT planting shoe bombs!
Also, vet the workers at the airports more closely.

great to hear your on the air
2009-12-27 by Sue
Hi Paul & Carol,
It is so great to hear your voices on the air again. I have really missed it! My daytime radio listening time has not been very enjoyable the past few months. Just today I finally had time to listen to your podcast. I am going to start listening everyday from 11 - 12 on www.themotts.ca so that I can listen live. I didn't know what time you were on live, but now that I listened to your podcast and you say the actual time every so often -- I am guessing it's from 11-12. Maybe you'd want to put that somewhere on your website (unless I'm a total non-techy and didn't see it!!).
Anyway, it is Boxing Day today and I am so happy that I'll be starting the New Year listening to your show each day.
All the best to you in this endeavour and I wish you much success!
Happy New Year!!
Sue
The Motts:
Hi Sue,
Glad you missed us, thrilled you found us! Slowly but surely we're getting the word out.
You can help us with that by telling everyone you know that they can find us at themotts.ca
Back on air
2009-12-26
Dear Paul & Carol, its great to be able to listen to you once again! I was totally shocked when you went off the air from
CFRB. That station is going downhill fast as far as I am concerned and I actually find myself listening to AM 640 more
now. But its great to be able to listen to you again and I wish you every success in your new venture. Good Luck and
God Bless.
You're back!!!
2009-12-23
Great to finally find you. Hope the future is 100% better than before. CFRB is amazingly stupid to make all the changes
they have, and I have found other stations more interesting. I will be trying your station, to make sure I can get the
signal. All the best, Merry Christmas, and take care. Doug
P.&C..Hi Doug,
It doesn't matter where you are, you can listen to us through this website, live weekdays 11a.m. to noon. Or, you
can catch the show on our podcasts. Glad you found us!

2009-12-22
I've listened to the first PodCast just now, and as soon as I heard Carol's docile tones, my blood pressure went straight
back to normal. My God it's great to hear you guys again!
Oh, and by the way...
Not like I'm one to tell you guys how to do radio, but just an observation I thought I'd share...
When speaking of propane fireplaces from the good folk at Chalmers Fuels, would you mind not using phrases like "you
just flick the switch and PooF!" or "you click and boom!" -- All I can picture is Paul walking over to the fireplace, flicking a
switch then the shot in my mind cuts to an aerial shot of Dream Acres with a rising mushroom cloud.
Craig
Happy to hear you
2009-12-18
I have been a loyal listener back from the niagara days but more recently during my lunch hours (which i took late so i
could listen). I have been wondering what you two have been up to and was doing a google search every couple of
weeks hoping that the motts would return somehow. It was an early xmas gift to find your site this week.
I want you to know that I have been suffering Motts withdrawals. I never complain to organizations but had to send
CFRB my thoughts about the change and to indicate my disatisfaction.
I don't know if it is feasible, but I wonder if it is feasible to get pick up by sirius or xm satelite radios. Both have many
US based talk shows and that would get the motts coast to coast.
I sincerely hope your new initiative is successful and will try to listen in. All the best to you both.

Finding missed broadcast
2009-12-14 by Connie
Wonderful to hear you again. I have expressed my displeasure to CFRB over the many recent changes. I caught the Friday show, but missed today (Monday). Can't figure out how to "listen anytime" on your website. Am I missing something?
The Motts:
The show will be archived. It will actually be a podcast that we put on the site after the
live show each day. Be patient. We are still learning all this stuff you know!
Great to Have Your Back!!!
2009-12-14
been listening you since way back when... was it in niagara falls or st. catharines or both?... anyway, RB made a great mistake
and having you back is fanatastic!!!
Charles
P&C..Thanks so much Charles. It was both actually. We've been around!! Tune in every day at 11 and make sure you tell your friends. The more the merrier.
H1N1
2009-12-14
Hi Motts,
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to your listeners of the Jewish community.
Saturday evening - went to see the movie "Precious" guy across the aisle did not stop coughing for 1 second. If I had a silencer, I would have used it! Even tho' I had the H1N1 shot, I still watched the entire movie with my sweater collar over my mouth. So if u guys r not going to take the H1N1 shot, don't go to movies.. there is always one who does notmind sharing his germs:)
Take care!

Great to hear you coming out of my Computer once again. Jess you sound great on the Radio as well. Everyone is very clear online even the people calling in.!!!!

Your live broadcast
2009-12-11
We are in Clearwater Florida and you are coming through load and clear. We moved to London ON a few years ago and CFRB was not always easy to receive so was not aware of your status until yesterday when I decided to check out what was going on with
CFRB. Just glad to hear you again and will follow whaT is going on with you two. Cannot try the phone as we are on dialup down here.
Brit
Dear Carol and Paul:
I just wanted to tell you both how much I miss not hearing you on the air, but I know that you will be back doing what you both love to do in the New Year. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Sincerely yours,
Robert
P&C..Hey Robert, thanks for the kind wishes. But don't wait to tune in until the New Year,
we are on now. Every day, 11 to noon on themotts.ca!!

You are sadly missed
2009-12-07 by John
I so enjoyed listening to you from the USA on shortwave radio,and while the subject matter wasn't always pertinent to me personally,it was indeed refreshing to hear your unique style rather than the stale,robotic,talk radio we have here. Letting you both go is a terrible mistake on the stations part because CFRB just succeeded in becoming a part of generic talk radio,and how sad for them. I hope you have a new show soon.
Thank You and bless you both for the fun and informative times,and a very happy holidays to you both.
The Motts:
Thanks John, you'll need to come our page to hear the show in the U.S. Our listen page is
where it will all be happening soon.
Almost a return
2009-12-06
Hi Paul and Carol,
It is nice to know that you guys have something in the works.
I honestly can hardly wait to hear about where you will end up and when you will be on the air. Please let us know. It would be nice if people took it easy on the comments section. I know they are upset about what the radio station did and I am too. I am very much looking forward to hearing you guys back on the radio hopefully that day comes soon.

Great news you will be on Erin radio if the email was correct. I hope it is as the computer in my excavator only runs the engine and dose not allow for internet conections. I supose I could ask for time off from one to three every day but that is not likely to be granted.
Nick
P&C..We will be on Erin radio, streamed through both their website and ours. The show will air in the morning but you'll be able to check in and listen anytime on our site.
Glad your back.
2009-12-07
We miss you. I hope your broadcasts will be heard in Toronto. The preset button is there waiting for you.

Hurrah for the Motts!!!!
2009-12-07 by I love the Motts
Right wing conservative mouth pieces like the Motts should be left behind in the human race. EG Stance on Bryant. Guy killed someone or facts are guy is dead cause bryants car runs over him. Bryant leaves the scene and does NOT have to take a breath test for alcohol. That would never happen to anyone else. The Motts what a couple of shining examples of excrement
The Motts:
We don't understand what this annonymous (cowardly) e-mailer is talking about. When did
we ever address the Bryant incident? Answer...never. When the situation occurred we were off the air and we've never addressed it on this site. He must be referring to some other piece
of right wing excrement!

Things will work out for you
2009-12-06 by Brian
I just realized you lost your positions at cfrb. I used to listen to you every day and emailed you frequently and you almost always took the time to respond to my opinions. I had many debates with Paul, more often I agreed with Carol but always found Paul a competent and well prepared debater. A master debater who stood his ground well. I think at times I came across harsh in our exchanges but I always admired and respected his opinions. I just get very passionate about issues I believe in and that can make some people misinterpret my tone. Not to mention emails can sometimes come across differently than they are intended as it is hard to express the wink wink nudge nudge in statements when you have a satirical side to humour as I do. I'm sure you gained much from cfrb as you stated but you also were a major factor in the success of the station in my opinion.
I find many cfrb hosts very interesting, yet I also feel somewhat dismayed by some of the choices the new owners have made. I still have hosts that I love to listen to but I think thhat the overall changes have hurt this station.
cfrb's loss will be someone elses gain and I believe they will suffer consequences for their poor judgement in getting rid of you. You will be back in fine form as always soon and I look forward to that in the near future.
I have a great respect for you both and wish you the best; you will recover because you're talented and tackle a wide range of serious and not so serious issues. I would also like to say you handled the harsh comments people made stating "I'm glad you're gone" and "you're self righteous and I take pleasure in your situation". Not exact quotes but close. I think it's sad people gain joy from you're difficulties, and feel you just showed how classy you are in you're responses to those comments. Yes people are entitled to their opinions, but in this case their opinions reek of envy and speak volumes about their character.
Who knows maybe TV is in your future, and radio is your domain no one can take that from you. No one can take away your accomplishments over the years, those are set in stone. It will be difficult but you will succeed.
I wish you and your family a bright and accomplished future and look forward to hearing you again.
P.S. As a techie nerd who has dealt with google for years I can tell you it's a process that takes time to build. Someone who knows the system can achieve results quicker than some and it can be a couple months to six months to see gain, but it will come. There is no quick fix for google, at least none that are legitimate so just be patient it will get there.
Thank you for the entertainment you've given us and I look forward to the future entertainment I know is on the horizon.
Best Wishes,
Brian H
The Motts:
Hi Brian,
Thank you. Appreciate the kind words. Paul says its the first time he's been called a
"master DE-bater" LOL.

2009-12-06
Hi there Motts,
Missing you on AM radio like crazy. Japanese management axiom: an employee must not be replaced, except by someone of equal or greater ability. Obviously, Astral Media did not abide by this rule (meant to help grow your business), because if they had, you'd never have been 'let go.' Glad to hear you're still prospering. Merry
Christmas.
Found You
2009-12-01
Didn't always agree with one or the other of you. If I didn't like the topic, I changed station to (99.1), but I always came back.
Barry
Hello X Two!
2009-12-02
I found your website by surfing and glad I did. Couldn't believe CFRB cut you guys loose, as you added a nice balance each afternoon. However,nice to hear you are making a come-back though, as you were both missed, yes even Paul! You make a great team and easy to listen to on issues of the day. I can only hope 640 AM is where you are headed. What a neat combination that would be with the likes of Oakley, Stafford, and Arlene Bynon. You'd add a lot. CFRB's loss. You'll make the air waves a little more Merry this Christmas, Paul and Carol.
Yes it's "Christmas," not just the Holidays as some political correct like to hear, but CHRISTMAS!!
Cheers..
Dean
Next Adventure
2009-12-02
Hi Paul & Carol,what a disappointment to have you let go from CFRB.A huge mistake by them.When I heard you were let go I called the station and gave them my 2 cents worth; it was like talking to brick wall, but it felt good at the time.I have dropped CFRB from the radio dial and so has my immediate family. It was a joy listening to both of you and it will be a joy listening to you at your new haunts.So take care and we are waiting for the next
chapter of your careers.Sorry for the length of this e-mail and the babbling. Eddy O.
You have been found.
2009-12-02
Finally, thanks to a Bonus Points blog for and not by THAT station I was able to ascertain your website. AMEN. I have had the pleasure to meet you both twice and since then with your departure was as are many other Motts listeners been searching Hi and Low for you. Hoping that another station would pick you up and that it would be local to one and all. Well it seems that from your site videos that you are taking care of that ON YOUR OWN and thank goodness. Will be visiting the themotts.ca regularly to watch and hear of updates in your
progress. Thank you very much for the enjoyment and pleasure that you have always given to your listeners.
Good luck and God Bless you in the progress of your endeavours. Hope to hear you both very soon.

Jess' Blog
2009-12-03
Just read Jess' latest blog, and the last paragraph is quite intriguing. It brings back memories of discussion around the family pictures, and how would you remove the boyfriend from the pics if it didn't work out. I don't know what I would do without you Motts!!! Jess is as funny as her mom. Love you "GUYS".

Merry Christmas
2009-12-03
MERRY CHRISTMAS Motts Family miss ya everyday i turn the radio on !
Adam
Glad I found you.
2009-12-04
Since you left CFRB I switched my listening habits because I don't like the personalities they have on air. Seeing your website brought a smile to my face. Hope you get back on air real soon.
Reuben
your show
2009-12-04
Hi Folks! you don't know me, i'm rick edwards and i volunteer at erin radio!
i look forward to hearing you guys on the radio again. it's sad when toronto radio loses good announcers like yourselves, and leave (pardon me) trash talk on the radio instead. i've listened to you guys when you started in st.catherines, and listen to you both on cfrb. always an entertaining show,and family ideals on the air. i hear you will be on erin radio soon! we look forward to having you guys on. hey listen to my show on sunday mornings from 9-12noon, it's the smooth jazz brunch.hope you'll join me!
take care
Rick
P&C...Hey Rick...Thanks for the note. Looking forward to meeting you.
There you are!!!
2009-12-04
OMG!!!! I finally "found" you!! After you were let go from CFRB, I signed up to receive Google alerts on "Paul and Carol Mott," but not "the Motts." Luckily, I received an alert today about a Twitter entry. When I clicked on that, I saw that you have a website now. Looks like you've been communicating with fans for a couple months. I've been going nuts without you!!! NPR can be so boring!! There's just no substitute for you
two. I thought you may have had to sell the horses and move to Florida for the winter. It's so hard to have the 8-month emergency fund that Suze Orman or David Bach talk about but know that I've been concerned about you and thought about you every day in the afternoon. Missing you pangs! I will be happy to subscribe to your webcast if that's what you're building. But you've got to somehow link the Motts to the phrase Paul and Carol Mott, as that's how you were always introduced on the air. Anyway, SOOOOO GLAD you're ok
and will be back soon. Merry Christmas.
~Cindy, loyal listener from Buffalo, NY since 1982
P&C...What....you mean we could charge you to listen to the show??? LOL No need. Just come
to our website.

Hello guys!
2009-12-02 by Ross & Joan
Paul and Carol. Hello..its 'The Caller from Orangeville/Sudan/Azerbaijan/Bosnia/Gabon/South Africa/Myanmar/ and occasionally highway 10
and my ever so strong wife, Joan .(The snowblower girl)
We were crushed to hear that you were no longer at 'rb. WTF are they (not) thinking down there?? You guys were Mr and Mrs Canada. Raising kids, trying to keep a career on track...the house in order..gas in the SUV...
We're missing your daily banter..Always was great fodder for our dinner times. Hey...if your in Orangeville, there's always a frosty in the fridge and garage full of power tools..just in case!
Cheers Guys.....
From Ross & Joan (Rep of Georgia & Orangeville)
The Motts:
Hi Ross,
Great to hear from you!! Thanks for the kind words. A frosty and power tools! You really
know how to sweet talk a guy.
2009-12-01
That Mary has too much time on her hands. I suspect jealousy on her part.I'm surprised she didn't say Bah Humbug!
Seriously, if she doesn't like you why take the time to go to your new website. I have fairly normal, decent (not perfect!) kids like you Paul and Carol. I suspect it's because we keep a caring dialogue on going with them just as you banter with your listeners. Love you and miss you both,
Donna
Hi to Jess
2009-12-01
You must stay with your parents, as how would we read your fantastic blogs? It's super news that you'll also be able to stay on at Georgetown Volkswagen, though - what a super boss :) I'm sure your Mom and Dad will be gentle with you as a newbie Producer. If not, just mess with the soundboard, or book a hockey player from Montreal!
Kelly
Jess....Hi Kelly, Thanks for the support and the ammo. I'll use it if need be. Personally I think they are blessed. Glad you like the blogs, there will be more to come, and yes, the other people I work for, and with, are fantastic.
Finally found you
2009-12-01
Like every other positive person on this site, I am glad to hear that you will be back soon. Astral should have their collective heads examined for letting the best people go. You are sadly missed and in my instance, I no longer listen to the once mighty CFRB. They can change the name all they want, it still does not justify the train wreck of a so called radio station. And to add insult to injury, they just got rid of Rick Hodge. I don't think he has been there a year and already let go. Astral is destroying what once was a great radio station, now it's crumbling into a pile of dust. Maybe some key people at Astral should be let go as well. Goodbye to CFRB.
Paul and Carol... best of luck with your next venture, I will be tuning in regularly to check your progress.
Dino

Sorry, don't miss you!
2009-12-01 by Mary
I'm sorry but I am glad you are not CFRB any more!You are so self-righteous and you make your kids sound sooooo perfect - it gets tiresome! Did they never do anything wrong?
The Motts:
Thanks Mary,
Two words for you...MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!
Hope to hear you soon!
2009-11-30
Just wanted to say that you guys are a class-act. You always treated your co-workers well (not just your colleagues, but those who worked under you, like producers and interns). That says a lot about a person, especially in this industry. Hope to hear you on the air again soon.
Lydia

Wow!
2009-11-29
OMG... it is fantastic to just imagine you will be back to entertain us! The "gap" has been unbelievable and could never be filled in a way the can provide the intelligence and rhetoric you have provided over the years. Welcome back! Looking forward to following you again.

Love this new site! Can't wait until Monday. Missed you both. Congrats to Jess. Her Blog was great!
Yay!!!! I found you!
2009-11-27
I have been wondering how you've both been since "the day" when I tuned in and realized that you were gone. After many google searches and news/blog searches, I am so happy to see that you have resurfaced and have done so with the same strength and class that we have all grown to love. I have missed your stories and banter, and hope to hear more of it soon. Carol, there were many days when I had been in my barn, doing afternoon chores, listening to your anecdotes about your farm and critters, and have thought to myself, "Jeez, we horse people are all the same"....same routine, same thought process, same obsessions! I look forward to those days again! (Sometimes I even listen to Paul!)...
Welcome back
Sue
this 'n' that
2009-11-27
So glad your show did not start today. I lost my voice! Looked everywhere! I would have been devastated if your show began today and I could not call in :(. I have to tell you, your daugthter Jess has talent.. Her first writing blog basically told it as it is without going too far! We all know how you guys feel and that is why we are backing you up here 1001%.
The two of you are the creme de la creme of radio broadcasting. Hey! Who else hangs up on a caller in a genteel manner while I'm still talking.. but then I hear Carol say, "thank you, Vardit for your call"!:):)Carol, you've done that to me so many times and I tried to get angry, but then when I heard thank you....I burst out laughing! Don't get me wrong.. I'm not a glutton for punishment.. but I kinda missed that!!:):):) Here's to your new show! Cheers!
there you are!
2009-11-28
Yaaaa! I found you. So sorry to hear what happened to you two. The station isn't the same and I think they'll realize that very soon. Hang in there and I look forward to hearing you both soon. I'll spread the word around. Take care.
Sharon
On the air again
2009-11-28
Thanks to Craig M for posting the link to your site. I'm a radiophile from way back and found you two 20 odd years ago as a truck driver with a route down Niagara way.I've only listened to talk radio for about the same length of time, and you are one of the main reasons for that.Your issues in life are the same. and our kids grew up in the same way. When I came back from holidays and did'nt hear you in your regular time slot I like many others thought you were on holidays and would be back soon. As weeks went by and no mention at all of you I realized it was another case of "don't say a word.just make them go away quiet and fast".One of the less flattering aspect of the business I guess.I'm disappointed with all the departures in the last year. especially finding out Hap was asked to leave. even though it seemed as of late he was semi-retired. I'm going to miss his vast knowledge of rail matters. I've found myself "down the dail" for a dose of oldies and to hear a familar voice or two.I'll confess that there are still a few speciality shows I enjoy and will continue to listen to (the best DJ in T.O. with no music to play on w/e mornings) but the recent changes find me listening less than half of the time I used to. I'm glad I found your site and will drop im for a chat often and hope you'll land somewhere within earshot of the big smoke soon.Never Say Die!

Now I know how Paul feels, and I understand the sobbing after what I saw last night. I am still trying to process it. I know the people of Saskatchewan are very generous, but what a Christmas present. I am still in shock. Apparently, my son couldn't speak for hours. I'm through making fun of Paul.
GO LEAFS!!!
Catherine
missing you!
2009-11-29
I was shocked when I learnt that you guys weren't on CFRB anymore. Astral Media has certainly made a mess of things there and at CJAD where my other fave Peter Anthony Holder was let go after 20 years. I'm glad that you have this website so that your fans can tell you how much you both are missed and we hopefully we'll hear your voices again soon!
Take Care :)
Valerie
what else
2009-11-29
Like a lot of other people on here I was away in the summer and just about dropped my teeth when I discovered you had been fired. My children are about the same ages as yours and I always enjoyed the topics you offered and your passion when discussing them. I just stumbled onto your website via Twitter and I look forward to hearing you soon. I will pass the word to my internet contacts.
Debbie
Miss you both.
2009-11-30
Hello Paul and Carol, I am so happy to have finally found your site. I googled for ages after CFRB made their huge mistake and had no luck in finding you 'til now. Having listened to you both since your days in Niagara, I must say your leaving 'RB left a huge void. I, along with countless others, have left CFRB and gone over to 640. The station is no longer the same and is not improving. Thank-you both so much for all the years of enjoyment that you have provided us, the listeners. I am so hoping that you will both be back on the air again soon. In the meantime, know that your fans remain steadfastly behind you and that better days are just around the corner. Wishing you and your family all the best.
Mary Mac:-)
you're back
2009-11-30
well it's nice to hear from you guys after many months - the afternoons are just not the same -with paul not pushing my buttons - at least he's a leaf fan - welcome back
P.S. I will be checking out the site daily in hopes that you will be back on-air soon.

glad to find this site
2009-11-27 by Linda
I was so shocked to not hear you anymore. I used to make sure I was near the radio everyday at 1pm. I loved listening to you and was so disappointed to realize you were gone. I hope all is well with you and love this new website so at least I can still see you two and keep up to date on what you are up to. Stay strong & thannks for all the smiles and laughs throughout the years.
The Motts:
Thanks Linda. Glad you found us. Tell your friends and very soon you'll not only see us on
ourwebsite you'll be able to hear us on our site too. Stay tuned. Keep an eye on our
listen page. We'll have an update for all of you on Monday.
Your #1 Fan
2009-11-20
Hi Carol,
I had a good laugh today, because your #1 fan called in to 640AM. I'm sure you know who I mean, but I will give you a clue. His name rhymes with "Ronnie". Oh, I miss those interractions so much. By the way, he hasn't changed!!!
Have a good week-end. Hey Paul, don't give up.
P&C...Paul give up on the Leafs? As if! The man is sick.
Go Leafs Go
2009-11-21
No more comments about the sad state of the once great CFRB. OH guess that was a comment. On to the Leafs another sad state. I was at a 4H awards last night there was a draw for a number of prizes One was 2 tickets to a Leafs game the "winner" turned them back in saying I don't want to go draw another ticket. These are people with teenagers and no interest in the game atleast not the way it is now. Looking forward to hearing you soon.
Nick
Thanks
2009-11-24
Hail Paul,

Hi to Jess
2009-11-25
Thanks for your post, Jess - it was so eloquently put. I imagine the shock around the supper table that night. I don't blame Standard Radio at all for this - in fact, as I noted on other sites (FB in particular), I'm sure the Slaight family was equally appalled. Hey - maybe I'll even buy a Volkswagen down the road! Guess who will be my rep? :)

I have to say I was not happy when you guys were let go from CFRB and I was one of those that contacted them...I listened when I could but doing service work around the GTA and Niagara that was quite often...anyway your show had a good combination of important issues and fun...you are missed...hope to hear you soon...Bob.
P&C..Thanks Bob, we did a little editing here. We're looking ahead not back.
You

P&C..had to take out a couple of references but thanks so much for your support.
Missed you!
2009-11-26
I was dismayed to learn that you were no longer on the air as I thought you were just on vacation. After three weeks, though, I googled "Paul and Carol Mott" and learned through a Toronto Star article what had happened. I, too, no longer listen to THAT station, and have been searching for something to fill the void. I am looking forward to your next venture when you post it. Good luck to you and your family.
Karen
P&C...We'll fill the void, just hang on!
Hurry back
2009-11-26
You made afternoon weekdays on the radio a pleasant experience. Looking forward to what you both have planned. As an aside, I heard through the grapevine, and it was complimentary, that you have spent time in Kincardine on Lake Huron before. Only curious cause that is my home roots. Keep positive!
P&C..Spent some wonderful holidays up that way. Beautiful country! My grandparents had a cottage there.

I forgot to thank Craig M. for gathering all the info about your site, and letting us know. He also directed many of us to your Facebook fan page. My only complaint about your site is that I can't view the videos because I don't have a plug-in for MIME ("x-mplayer2")
Kelly
P&C...We're working on that, along with everything else. Stay tuned! We thank Craig as well.

Holy cow! I used to playfully want to shake one of you when I thought you were wrong - now they'll be 4 of you? The family that debates together stays together, I guess!:):) I especially liked when you guys got our blood boiling with really controversial subjects.
The passion of your listeners came through then... and you know how I feel about mother/daughter topics...I'm still alive because I saw and still see(most times) the funny side of that relationship iso tearing my hair out!

P&C...Well....our daughter is actually going to be producing for us as well as blogging. We just hired her. Thankfully she works cheap!!
found!
2009-11-16
So glad your back! Absolutely insulted at the way CFRB oh I mean newstalk 1010 has treated me as a faithful listener. How they are staying on the air boggles my mind. If it aint broke why fix it? I listen to 640 am now.
Colleen
Finally I found you guys
2009-11-17
I have been checking and checking I decided to try again today and found you through Facebook thank god!! I really miss you two on the radio You had a way of making my day a little better even those days I didn't agree with you I still listened and sometimes caught myself before I yelled at my computer screen but most times it was really enjoyable and I love the way Carol would say "Oh Paul" because I said it a few times myself. Glad to see you are coming out the other side of this whole ordeal I really miss how you talk about your family,
horses and the dogs Glad to see your web site Love the pictures Hope all is well
Lynn
Your new life
2009-11-17
Hi Motts:
I hope the dust from your departure from CFRB has settled for you a bit at this point.
I've been a listener of you (both) since the late '80's when I was driving truck. I very much enjoyed the interaction between the pair of you. I bet that not only did you have differences of opinions on-air, but your drive home after work was probably an equally interesting
exercise in maintaining marital bliss (though I suspect Paul may have enjoyed the couch in the family room on more than one occasion, heh). I've missed you both, as one might miss friends that have moved away suddenly and unexpectedly, but I've bookmarked your site with the hope of hearing the pair of you again soon, some how, some where. Two final notes, how is Carol's knee holding up after that kick? And, Carol, have you gotten a proper pair of stiletto heels to go with that French Maid's outfit? Those shoes you had didn't flatter you, but I'm sure Paul will agree, the rest of the outfit was capital. ;) I wish you both the best in whatever path presents itself. One door closes, another opens. I'd enjoy being one of the people to greet you when the new door swings wide open for you and we get to hear you again in a different venue.
Ciao for now......
P&C...The different venue is right here. We'll tell you more in about a week! I've got new shoes!!
miss you
2009-11-17
I used to listen to your show every day - in my office, in my car, wherever I was. I could not believe it when you were taken from the CFRB roster. Over the years working in the entertainment industry I have seen Radio station Managements make some strange changes.
This one tops the list! I sincerely hope you'll be back in the public "ear" very soon.
John
GO LEAFS GO!!!
2009-11-18
Just checking to see how Paul is doing. Is he just about ready for grief counseling??? In the meantime, Carol, please keep him away from sharp objects.
Catherine
C...Its the constant sobbing that has me worried!
cfrb's biggest
2009-11-18
Hi paul and carol
Cfrb has just loss their best talent, and they probably don't realize it.large corporations are always the last to realize there biggest mistakes. Glad that you have something in the works.GTA listeners want you back on the air

Website Is Invisible
2009-11-16 by Rick
I found your website only thru comments that you two left on another website.
Google searches of "the motts" or "paul carol mott" et al do not bring up this website.
I suggest that you get a tech nerd to do whatever voodoo that they do so that your website shows up when people are looking for you.
Best of luck.
The Motts:
Thanks Rick! Glad you found us. We are aware of that and our webwizard is working on it. In the meantime tell your friends.
now I get sleep
2009-11-13
Hi Paul & Carol:
I miss hearing you. You were the only ones at the radio station who gave me numerous
ideas for topics for my numerous blogs all over the place. Other hosts did occasionally but with you too the majority of topics gave me something to write(seriously!). Whenever I had writer's block I listened to the Motts and the ideas came pouring in. However, even without
that anyone who gave you half a chance knew it was well worth listening to The Motts.
Working midnight shift and depending on how tired I was, usually I'd be able to force myself to be awake to listen to your entire show.
Since you left I haven't listened to that station in that time slot and now actually get sleep around that time.
I hope you're back on-air very soon and would love to hear you two again!
I agree with those who say the station just is not the same without you.
P&C...thanks John. A little editing was done here. Love it that you were able to force yourself to stay away during the show!!
We're just about ready and will fill you in soon!!!
I found you !!
2009-11-13
Hi Folks
I miss your show. Your opposing views on issues helped me see both sides of the coin.
I’m looking forward to your new venture on the net. All the best !
Sandra
You are back
2009-11-13
Hi Paul and Carol,
You guys were a couple of the best that CFRB had.
I'm not going to make negative comments about the station all I'm going to say. It's a good station but it's not the same without you guys. I hope you're future in the radio business works out for you. I'll be tuning in on whatever station you end up.
What sorts of things are you guys going to be putting up on the website?
All the best and take care.
Ali
P&C. . Thanks Ali. We are going to have blogs, the mini Motts will be blogging too. Hoping to get feedback from all of you as to what you would like to see on this page. We'll be putting up more photos and videos as well.

2009-11-12 by Nick
I really miss you two. Yours was the only program I never turned off. On the bright side I now get to hear Charles Adler. I listen to very little CFRB any more. Even Robert who is my next favorite after you has been cut to half an hour. Hope you get a new show soon there is no one on any station that I would choose over you so time slot is not important although I do need to sleep.
Nick
The Motts:
Thanks Nick. We'll keep your slumber needs in mind when we choose our time slot. We agree
about Robert, only a half of wacky news is not enough.
Nice to see you
2009-11-10
I don't know what CFRB was thinking. Until I read an article by Hap Parnaby in the Caledon paper, I didn't know he was also asked to leave. Then I find out you two are gone. That's it for them. I know you have too much class to knock them, but wherever you two catch on will be where my radiodial will be. All these years of being a loyal fan and patronizing your clients to have you disappear. I miss you.
Scott
Spreading the word...
2009-11-12
Just discovered your website via Google, and am glad to know that things are coming together for you two after the shocking events this
summer. They've lost me as a listener. My radio used to be tuned to 1010 AM all day & evening every day/night. No longer! I'm spreading the
word about your website and looking forward to new developments. Keep well, and know that you have tons of support.
Stan
Hi Stan,
Had to edit a few things for legal reasons, but thanks so much for your support.
Since you've been gone...
2009-11-12
Still missing you two -- every single day

A Pittance of Time
2009-11-12 by Vardit
Hi Motts,
You guys were the ones who first introduced me to the wonderful song, "A Pittance of Time". Is it possible we can hear that song once again on your website?
The Motts:
Hi Vardit,
Consider it done! Its a great piece that reminds us how important it is to take the time.
Here is the link
http://www.terry-kelly.com/pittance/pittance_en.htm
Love your website
2009-11-10
Your website is wonderful. Great to see all the the picture of your lives. The picture way to the barn, brings back memories of your stories
of the horses, birth in the barn with the monitor in your bedroom, supply of hay coming,Carol's knee. Love it ....
Good Luck.
Jo-Ann
happy
2009-11-08
glad to see you getting back on your feet good people never stay down good luck look forward to
hearing you in the near future
Doug
Finally I found you.
2009-11-09
I drive at times for my job - from Toronto to Barrie - and always timed my drive home so I could be part of your show. Then you were lost! I asked another friend and she said she didn't know where you were but she missed you also. I have tried googling you but found nothing.
But, today my friend sent me your website as she decided to try to find you. I really don't understand why you were cut from CFRB as it was fun to listen to the diaglogue between both of you. It always added energy to my day, and drive, and now I don't listen to talk radio on the drive home. I hope it helps to know that many of us not only counted on you but came to think of you as friends. I'm glad we found you and I have added you to my favourites and will check-in. There is no doubt you will be back up and running soon. You just need to find the right venue because your fan base is waiting to join you on your next journey. Wishing you well and take care of each other.
Sandra
Thank You
2009-11-09
Thanks for setting up a terrific website. I must be older than dirt because I listened to CFRB for so long (60+ years) that I considered you new kids on the station. Over the years I became attached to the personalities and grieved as each left. Your departure was the last straw. I too let CFRB know I was finished. Now I delight in hearing former CFRB staffers on AM 740. Please keep us informed about your new venture. All the best to you and your family.

Hi Guys
2009-11-08 by
I haven't had a chance to catch up with you probably since I was "severed" nine years ago and Carol called me very concerned about how I was doing. I am very late in the game but, seriously, back then you weren't the second coming of Winfield Farms!!
I hope things work out for both. The beyond strange events I went through in August, 2000 turned out to be a career blessing. I wish the same for both of you. I don't know anybody in this business who has a negative thing to say about P&C.
Mike
The Motts:
Thanks Mike. Appreciate the kind words. Long time listeners, never callers! Great to see you
and J.O doing so well. Will this be a career blessing? Hopefully, but only time will tell. Please keep in touch and may the Broadcast God's continue to smile upon you. Go Leafs Go!
Today's a good day
2009-11-05
I have been so confused as to why you are not on CFRB. Today I decided to Google you. I had no idea what they did to you. We thought you guys did a great show . Their loss because we have tuned out now. Hurry up and get another show put together. Hang in there I know the feeling of lay offs and there is always a new door to open around the corner.
Maureen
Hello
2009-11-05
I have been looking for you two all over the place, well Hot Dog I finally found you via Face Book thankfully as my next step was the RCMP.
I miss you and hope that you will be back on radio or tv very very soon. Best Regards
Where's the video
2009-11-06
Hi Sis,
Great to see you guys on the weekend for mom's B-Day. Haven't posted the vid yet. Hope your not editing to much out. Can't wait to hear the
new show...So proud of you!! Oh Ya, you too Paul!!!!!
Dave and Ange
P... Okay, Dave we'll post the video. By the way folks, Dave is the one holding the large hairy rat.
C...Oooh, don't say that about Bigsy.
So Happy to Find You here
2009-11-06
Hi,
Just wanted to write and let you know I am happy to have found this site and have missed listening to you. The station made a huge mistake,
hoping to hear you on radio again real soon.
Janice
The Royals are Coming
2009-11-07
Hey Craig M,
I resent you insulting the horses at the Royal Winter Fair.
I guess I will be right next to you in the line to hell......
Catherine
Finally found you!
2009-11-07
At first I thought you were on vacation. Then I heard you were gone. Oh no! I said to myself, one of my 2 favourite talk shows has ended. I just now located your website and wanted to add my regrets about your leaving. What a loss - CFRB has become very male dominated. I'm sure the loss will be felt by them as well as your loyal listeners.
When I heard a new owner was in place and that "there will be no changes" I thought, "Hmm, where have I heard that before?" It so happens that I was the National Sales and Marketing Manager for an American family-owned company with a Canadian office. When the children of the owners inherited then sold the business, we heard the same words addressed to us - no changes, business as usual, we are valued employees, etc. Within 6 months the new owners decided that they only needed a Canadian distribution center and we were let go.
We heard all the assurances that our jobs were safe and maybe that was the initial plan, but it felt like we had been lulled into preparing everything so they could let us go with no loss of revenue.
Anyway, just wanted you to know that this unfortunately happens when there’s a change in ownership. There's no change in your fan base!
You will bounce back better than ever and I hope you will return to radio. If you do, I please let us all know.
Thank you for your time and the wonderful entertainment,
Bruna
Thank God I found you!
2009-11-07
Wow! I was so surprised that you 2 were gone from the station. I really thought you'd be around forever. Anyway, I could not be more happy
that you are back in whatever form, and please know that I will support it...either financially or whatever. I have missed you guys like you
would miss an old friend. I still listen to the station but honestly, when certain things happen in the world, I think, "I wonder what The Motts
would say about this?" Its just not the same without you.
Carol-Anne
miss you
2009-11-07
Please find some way of alerting people to any new show on any radio station that you may find yourselves on. I only got to listen to you on
Thursdays when I had to drive the day for my work. You were the best part of CFRB's lineup. I can only wish you all of the luck in the world.
Mark
Special note to Dave S: "Thanks Dave, couldn't post your note for legal reasons but it was fall down funny. Ding, Ding, Ding."

The Royals are coming...
2009-11-06 by Craig M
Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, open the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto this morning... Camilla first went to tour the horses and upon arrival was immediately groomed.
...yeah I know, I'm going to Hell.
The Motts:
No doubt about it! Neigh!!
Congratulations to Gayle MacPherson, a friend of ours who is the Chair of
the Royal Winter Fair and has done an amazing job. Find out more about the

Helps calm baby down listening
2009-11-05 by To our favorite Radio family
Honestly your show has been ablessing for me when I was abigale to calm down, so incase I havent said it I am looking forward to when your back on the air again. NAP TIME HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE....not only for me but for her too. LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Lammens in Cambridge
The Motts:
Great, nice to know we can put everyone to sleep!
love the videos
2009-11-04
ooh just saw puppy one and one of the operation scar. They are beautiful dogs. Love their new beds.
Very jealous of the view you have from your kitchen.
What did Paul say in your video, he mumbled something about what have 2 months gave him time to do....you laughed and hit him...
could not pick it up....if repeatable let me know...thanks.
C...He mumbled a pick up line from friends insinuating we had more time for "extra curricular activities!"
changes
2009-11-05
By reason of illness, I've basically been living under a rock for 4 months and just recently resurfaced. Like everyone else, I was confused
and very disappointed in the changes. The new line-up is dreadful and I'm looking around for another station. I'm sure you'll land on
your feet but that's easy for me to say on this side of the computer. What a way to treat people.
Wishing you both the best.
P&C. Thanks Mary-lynn. We had to edit a little here for legal reasons but thank you for your support. We've been
saying that alot lately. Put our web page in your favourites and check in daily. We'll be adding things to this site and
will let you know about new developments soon!
Miss you on air!
2009-11-05
Hi Carol and Paul,
I keep checking your website, hoping to see that you will be back on air within the local listening area very soon. I REALLY, REALLY miss you
both, and find myself pushing buttons all over the place on my car radio, hoping to hear your friendly, familiar voices. I'm sure you will post
the good news as soon as you are able. In the meantime, all the best with everything.
Good Luck
2009-11-05
Paul and Carol, used to play trivial pursuit with you guys here in the Falls. NO Problem Bill, Paul called me. Followed you to St.Kitts. Ironic JM
called you Ken and Barbie! Those were the days. Miss your banter and news about the kids, feel like we watched them grow up. Leafs still
suck Paul but thats what made you a favorite. Got to like a guy that sticks up for his team. Don't tell me I'm a Bill's fan and they suck too.
Anyway look forward to hearing just where you will turn up.
Bill
miss ya
2009-11-04
lots of warm moments with you two. and i dont listen to cfrb anymore.
Colter
Whew !
2009-11-03
Dear Carol,
Thankyou for responding to Quality Home's Forwarding of my email. I am so relieved to find you.
I ECHO all of the previous positive comments.
I've forwarded your site to many and know they'll enjoy it as much as I am.
Now Paul, would you like one of my extra roosters ?
All of the best wishes ever.
Marta
P & C....Continue to spread the word! As for the rooster, never turn down a free meal when your unemployed!
GO LEAFS GO!!!
2009-11-03
Hey Barry,
How can you expect Paul to cheer up? Have you been watching the Leafs? I am keeping everything crossed for you tonight, Paul.
GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!
Catherine....

Paul
2009-11-01 by Barry
It is great to see your input,Carol,but Paul hasn't cheered up much.
I have often thought that a talk TV show in the mornings might be a good idea.They can fix Paul up to make him more presentable :o).Or maybe not.
Anything I can do to help,just drop me a line.
Barry
The Motts:
Hey Barry,
Making Paul more presentable is a possibility. NOW you tell me? LOL
Wait til you see the pictures from the Royal Winter Fair this year. Its black tie, and I'm getting
push-back on donning the "penguin suit."
where were you???
2009-10-31
Dear Paul and Carol:
I have listened to you guys for years. I changed employers and I had to give you up. I was off on Friday due to illness
(no, not the swine flu) and I waited impatiently for time to pass until I could once again listen to my favourite radio personalities. I
couldn't find you. I thought maybe you two were off sick as well as me. Slowly but surely I realized that you were gone. Where,
not sure. Got onto the internet immediately and then I found the sinking news that changed my life. I found your website, thank
you very much and I will follow your story. Thank you for all the wonderful times we have spent together in my car. And yes,
Howard is a wonderful lawyer. Take care and God bless.
Catherine
miss you
2009-10-31
I have listened to CFRB for some 20 years and now find myself searching for another station. I felt as if I had lost very good friends
when I discovered you were no longer on the air. Believe me it is their loss. Things always happen for a reason and I believe there is
something much better in store for you both. Good luck.
Marj
Wonderful videos
2009-10-30
I'm getting such a kick out of your videos! Please continue to post more. Poor doggie (Chase?) with the stitched up head! That
must've been some growth! I hope he's doing much better and looking a little less like Frankendog. I hope whatever you two have in
the works will be coming to fruition soon. In the meantime, I'm loving your website. All the best!
Donna
Missed you
2009-10-30
Hi Paul and Carol,
Glad I signed on to your facebook site. It brought me to your new (and wonderful) website. Your show was so great to listen to.
There was always some funny moments along with serious ones. It was great to hear listeners opinions. I have tried to give the
"new" CFRB a chance because I have listened for so long, but the constant rant is exhausting. I am eagerly awaiting to hear what
happens with you next. I miss Michael Coren as well. Didn't always agree with him, but he was interesting to listen to.
Maureen
Paul & Carol...."We miss Michael too!"
Great Website
2009-10-29
Hi guys,
I listened to you guys regularly for nearly 10 years on RB. I was very disappointed with their decision. Your website is fantastic and
I think the fact that your sponsors stood by your side is a testement to the value that you bring and that you guys both have a lot left
to give to the Canadian radio landscape. I can't wait to hear you guys back on the air. I'll keep checking back regularly. Congrats on
your new webspace.
Gavin
Oh my
2009-10-29
How come my comments were not shown? What am I chopped liver? I've made an appointment to see my therapist now:):) Cause I
like you guys so much, my ego could now be found in a toilet someplace!! :):)
Seriously may you go from strength to strength like they say, onwards and upwards. Kelly who is posted here and I always chat
about how we thought you guys were great. Guess how we became friends? She contacted me on FB and asked me if I was the
Vardit who was on The Motts show from time to time and I confirmed it and she said she loved when I was on. Two other people
contacted me through FB with almost the same comments - all to do with your old show! So can't wait until you are on the air again..
I need some new friends!! hahahahaha
Hugs to you both,
Vardit
Paul and Carol..."Sorry Vardit, and apologies to anyone else that we missed. A few entries have been accidentally deleted by we the
novice techies. A few others were so scathing we thought.....eh, no!
Good to have you back
2009-10-29
I have stopped listening to your old station (won't even mention the call letters, they don't deserve it) I will be checking in often at
themotts.ca. Always enjoyed listening to the two of you.
Chris
All the best

I thought I lost you!!!
2009-10-28 by Marla
I went on vacation and came back to total confussion. I am so disapointed in CFRB. I do like the other hosts, but loved you guys. I also miss Jackie in the mornings. I don't understand why they would mess with something that was so great. I miss you guys dearly and am so happy to have found that you're back!
Kindest regards,
Marla
The Motts:
Hi Marla:
We are completely overwhelmed by the response. We've had hundreds of e-mails since
we opened this page on Monday. Paul says he can't believe he was so popular. Of course
I tell him I was the popular one! LOL.
Glad I found you're site!
2009-10-28
Chuck
Maybe I am getting old, but this is too much of a change for me. I did listen all day to CFRB but I find myself moving from one station to another with the new lineup. The steady rant without feedback from the audience is not entertaining and I do something I never did....shut off the radio.
Your show was so good and I miss it greatly. Please let us know where we can find you on the dial when it happens.
Good Luck!!! from a long time Niagara listener.
Happy to hear from you
2009-10-28
It was like part of my family was missing...I feel whole again.
Can hardly wait to hear the rest of your news.
Cathy
whoopii !!!
2009-10-28
Linda
So glad to get some news about what's going on with you. We REALLY miss you in the afternoon. I always thought your time slot
was too short, and then you were Gone!! Now we listen to CDs... hope you're back on the air soon. The web site is awesome.
Thanks Sooo Much
2009-10-28
Paul and Carol
I was so shocked when I couldn't find you on that radio station anymore. I have e-mailed them and of course have not had a reply.
No matter what I was doing at 1:oo the radio went on and listened to you two. You always sounded like you were "one of us"
the normal working family with children, jobs, family issues and health issues. I have listened to you since you were in Niagara Falls.
I want to thank you for being such a great leader in talk radio and I congratulate you on this website. Thanks for including us again
into your lives. You two are loved by many,many people. God bless.

You are dearly missed!
2009-10-28 by Donna
Carol & Paul, I SO miss you on the former CFRB (now Newstalk 1010) and am hoping so much that you'll have a new radio show soon.
This website is wonderful and I'm very glad you're keeping in touch with your fans.
I'm with you wherever you go!
The Motts:
Thanks Donna, and everyone else. We certainly appreciate the sentiment. You may
get tired of this but we haven't yet!! As things evolve we'll get you to sound off about
issues. Feel free to do that now!
Great to hear from you,,
2009-10-28 Guy
You have no idea how much we miss aaaaayou...It was a major shock for us..The station is not the same without you...
Great to hear from you....
2009-10-28
Hi Paul and Carol,
I'm certainly not an expert in broadcasting but if "new direction" means loosing listners I guess they hit the nail on the head.
I can't tell you how much I miss listening to you in the afternoon. It's great to hear from you !! Good Luck!!!
Josie
So glad to hear you're back!
2009-10-28
Amazing!! I'm so grateful to have this link! I'm going to pass it along to many of my friends who also miss you guys. Love the new site.
It tops 1010 by a mile!
Tula
Welcome back!
2009-10-28 Monica
Craig posted the link! Glad to see you back and so eager to see/hear of your new venture.
Very best wishes in the future. You are indeed missed.
Happy to hear from you
2009-10-27

I sure let CFRB know how I felt. I was a loyal listener of your show. I know you will be back on the air soon. I was in your same position a few years back but everything always has away of working out. Best of luck.

Super News!
2009-10-28 by Kelly
I'm thrilled beyond belief to "find" you two again! I was shocked at your treatment by Astral Media. I only listen to a few shows, but have pretty much moved on to another station. If you hit the airwaves again, count me in as a loyal listener!
Kelly
The Motts:
Thanks Kelly, we'll keep everyone posted.
Aileen
Love those early photos!!! Missing you on the radio. Never bother with CFRB anymore. Can't wait to hear you on the airwaves again. All the best.
Joy
like everyone else: have missed you big time and so glad to hear from you via this website. You're both great radio personalities (i was a guest on your show last year),
such nice people too. Looking forward to hearing about your future venture!
We sure miss you guys, and glad you have resurfaced and that you are doing well!! Give Chase and Darcy a big hug from their
teacher :) and if there is anything I can do to help, just ask.

You Dogs
2009-10-27
Loved the videos of the dogs. My son, who is almost 9 - could not stop laughing when I showed the first video of the puppies,
the dog grabbing the socks, (you're right carol - good thing it wasn't underwear...lol) and when you showed them being afraid of
the pool cover. He really wants a dog - but your videos will do just fine to keep him amused for the time being...
Glad to have you back - on a website anyway.

2009-10-27
I must say that I really miss hearing you on CFRB. I particularly loved listening as you are both of very strong opinion and rarely
of the same opinion. I still listen to CFRB, but your presence is sorely missed by me. I hope there is something wonderful
in your near future. Looking forward to whatever that may be.
Hey Paul and Carol....the new Website is "Brilliant"....waiting for that first Broadcast!!!
Go Leafs Go!!!
Sandy & Jan
welcome back

Gloria
Hi Paul and Carol
I have listened to you since you started listening to you guys on CFRB over 20 years ago - i cannot understand why
CFRB let you go - I have not listened to CFRB since you left - quality has gone down - cannot wait til you get back on the radio.
Best of luck to you and your family
Welcome Back
2009-10-27
Thank god your back. I have truly missed listening to you both daily. On a side note, my mother was in England when
all the changes happened and she was totally shocked when I told her you had been let go. The first thing she actually
said to me was "but they were the best thing about CFRB."
So from myself Deborah and my mother Barbara of Cobourg .. we welcome you back.
Good People

You know, eventually, good things do happen to good people and you folks ARE good people.
As far as returning to "News Talk 1010", I wouldn't return there without and iron-clad, un-breakable contract which favours your side of the deal. You'll both land on your feet. Good people do. Best of luck and God's Speed to you both!
This is like a great big gang hug! Thanks, we needed that!

Wow! I was out of town for about 3 weeks and did not hear of you guys being gone. I had to Google you guys and that was when I heard. Total, Total shock...I first met you guys over at 710, John Michael in the morning and you guys in the afternoon. My day was set with great talk radio all day...was disappointed when you guys left for CFRB as I was not much of a fan of the station...but put up with it cause of you guys.
By the way you got to know I already called The Knobs over there and gave them a piece of my demographic thoughts.
It's been 25 yrs at lease that I have been listening to you two, its hard to let go when your use to certain personalities...
Besides, I want to call in when the Leafs make the playoffs.
Looking forward to hear when you guys are back on the dial.
Keep smiling better things to come.
Cheers!
Manny

Not surprising ...
2009-10-27 by Paul
... that Carol would write back her and Paul's appreciation when I penned an email saying how I missed their show It was just further proof of what their listeners already knew ... that Paul & Carol are just "regular folk" who appreciate their friends.
Can't wait for that other foot to land, Guys!
The Motts:
<p><span class="main">Unfortunately I just couldn't respond to everyone. I do need sleep now and again. But, now we can all meet here.</span></p>

Hi Paul and Carol
I love your new Website. This will be a very successful venture for both of you and far more relaxing. No more driving 3 hours a day. Can hardly wait until you are up and running. I will spread the news to all your old friends in Niagara. We do miss you down here. You have my love and support.
The Motts:
<p><span class="main">Thanks Mary. I'm not sure about the relaxing part but its sure exciting.</span></p>

Just to say Hello
2009-10-26 by Virginia
Hi Motts. Sure do miss your show. Never listened to anyone else on CFRB, but always tuned in at 1:00 to listen to you both. Love your dog video. I have 3 dogs, Emily a black and white lab cross, Buddie a red/brown hound mix and Suzette a black border collie. They are all rescue dogs and I love them to bits. I know we will hear some good news about your plans soon. Take care.
The Motts:
<p><span class="main">Thanks Virginia! Don't know how you handle 3 we find 2 a handful!</span></p>

your in my favorites
2009-11-01 by Jo Ann
Carol & Paul: thank goodness you are back. Just this week I was going to sent you an email to see how you are both doing. You are greatly missed. Take care Jo Ann
The Motts:
Again, thank you so much. The response has been overwhelming. Its given us a real boost.
Keep in touch and spread the word!
Welcome Back!
2009-10-29
I would like to echo everyone else's comments by saying that I was also shocked and disgusted by your dismissal from CFRB (they can call them
selves whatever they choose, but they are still CFRB). I also emailed the station but I doubt that they appreciated my comments.
I was a CFRB listener for 6 years (portion edited ) I did tune back in again just to check out the new format, but it's not for me. What I enjoyed
most was the calls and the interaction between the hosts and the listeners, but calls have been reduced to a bare minimum.
I'm looking forward to the additions to your website and to the news of your next venture because, even though we've never met, I feel as
though I know you and your family (animals included) because I heard so much about them between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. every weekday.
Paul and Carol...."Thanks Susan. You'll notice that we did a little editing. This may be necessary from time to time for legal reasons."
Welcome Back
2009-10-29
That was a wonderful greeting to see in my email box this morning. I am very pleased that you have 'found' yourselves. We all need
incentives & motivations, now and then, even if we aren't completely sure why or don't have control over what transpires.
Regardless, I do believe in the old adage that 'Everything Happens For A Reason' - it will turn out that it was an opportunity to regroup
etc - all the clichés, but I'm sure you've had more than your fill of all that by now! Onwards and Upwards!
But basically it was a shock to me as it was to thousands of others! I too wrote in to CFRB and to many of it's personalities and
managerial types expressing my chagrin. Their methodology is one part of the industry that does leave a lot to be desired, however
that is water under the bridge now...and there is lots of swimming ahead! (Only one personality responded FYI - Jim Richards - very
positively!)
I look forward to following your exploits on here - Good Luck to you both and thanks ever so much for the many entertaining and stimulating times you have afforded me and others over the years! (Not too soppy, I hope).
Cheers!
Spreading the word...
2009-10-28
Hope you're getting some hits, I've spread the site around all the Facebook groups I administer and feedback has been great...
Had a breeze through the pictures -- Carol, hot as always. Paul, Buahaha!!! The Bee Gees shot is pure gold! Hugs from the Milton clan.
Craig
Paul and Carol..." We appreciate your spreading the word. We need alot of that now, no big bucks for advertising!"
Miss you guys
2009-10-28
Hey The Motts,
Thought you were on vacation again, but it went to be really long. Jim was doing his and yours, I emailed him asking what happened
and I emailed the station and asked them. They just ignored my inquiry. What a way to keep listeners!!!! So sorry you guys along with
Jackie are no longer on the radio. You guys will pop up sometime soon I hope. I surley will follow you. Keep us in the loop, on when
and where we can hear you guys again. You are a GREAT team and really enjoyed listening to you two in your discussions. Hurry back
on, we miss you. This is a awesome site.
Rob
Paul and Carol..."thanks Rob. We are thrilled with this site. Declan West is an incredible web designer. "
Found you
2009-10-28
It's a shame that you guys aren't on CFRB. I know that job security in the radio business is not very good - only a program change
away - but your dismissal seemed very cold, given your years of service to the station. The guys left behind had to carry on as if
nothing happened. Astral could have at least let them say that there had been some programming changes and they wish those who
are gone the best in the future. I'll check your web site frequently for your next project.

continue to get better with all the good solid support.

wow must have esp
2009-10-28
can't believe it was thinking about you today and thought of mailing a letter to RR#1 Erin as a way of finding you and then got your
e-mail today. I have been a fan since jessica was born so will follow you whenever you are on air again. I miss you in that 1pm time
slot. I will spread the word and your web page. miss you and best wishes for the future...........Wanda
glad you are back!!!
2009-10-26

YEAH!
2009-10-26
Hi Paul & Carol,
I've been searching for you since I first realized you were gone from CFRB. I was one of the hundreds of fans that voiced my dismay by email. I've switched to AM740.
I've forwarded you web link to my daughter-in-law, another big fan; and I'll check daily to see where your 'Stay Tuned' plans take us.
Good luck!
Roxanne
Miss You!
2009-10-31
Miss you Carol and Paul....
That station is not the same without you... It's an all boys club now. I used to enjoy listening to you, Tarek and Michael in the afternoon.
It made being out on the road a lot less lonely. Well I am back in the office so I don't have to listen to your replacement.
Good luck in the future.. will be looking forward to listening to you again!!
Sincerely
Jane
New program

miss you
2009-10-26
P and C-- Real sorry about what happened to you. Cant imagine how you would have felt. Glad to hear you are doing fine.Hope to hear you
on air soon. B H
Glad to hear from you
2009-10-26
I still miss both of you so much and was glad to hear from you. Keep in touch and all the best to you. I very rarely have my radio tuned to
CFRB anymore and I used to be a constant listener. They have changed! In one commercial, they state that they are not your grandmother's
station anymore. Boy, is that the truth!
All the best to both of you and your family.
Shirley
SO Happy to hear from you!!
2009-10-26
I am so happy that you emailed us all. I will be letting people at work know of your site!!
YAY!!!
So excited and missed you!!

Welcome Back!

I knew we would be hearing from you eventually. It takes time to re-group after such a life altering event. But you're back and I look forward
to daily updates. You are missed!
Marilyn
Found this by accident !!
2009-10-26
I know you two will get on to something new and exciting. You are missed, in fact I don't listen to CFRB in their new format anymore, found
it more fun before..........good luck and please let me know where I can listen to you again......Rita
Welcome Back!
2009-10-26
Paul and Carol,
Thanks for the email informing me of your return. I will check throughout the day to try to hear you again. I hardly ever put my radio on
anymore, its just not the same.
Kathy

Almost 2/3rds of T.O. cops live elsewhere. Should cops be forced to live in the city they serve?
