Jack's Shows and People
Bill
Bill and Woody - Weekday Mornings at 6
Bill was cop in a former life. But his disdain for firing his weapon at stop signs and overpasses on cold, late North Western Ontario Evenings, made him think… there must be more to life than this. Thankfully for us, Bill decided to be a radio DJ. And one show at a time he could change the lives of thousands for the better. Now, year after Bill’s epiphany, he has yet to change a life. But what the hell, hours are good, and he gets paid to be himself.
Once in a while, on cold, late Regina evening, if you hear gunshots and witness bullet laden stop signs, don’t fret. It’s probably just Bill contemplating life again.
Listen to Bill, along with his compadre Woody, every weekday morning, on the 94-5 Jack FM Morning Show. Bring Kevlar.
Woody
Bill and Woody - Weekday Mornings at 6
Not too many people know that Woody was raised by near sighted monks, north of North Battleford. (If there is a place north of North Battle ford.) The Monks did provide Woody with an interesting view of the world. What with the daily beatings, the severe head trauma, and the time spent locked in his “special boy” cage, the world did become skewed. So he escaped the monks and moved to Saskatoon. And after living in that city, we really regretted leaving the giant fisted monks. Nevertheless, Woody staying in Saskatoon and worked in refrigeration. Hauling old fridges not only gave him super human strength, but it also gave him his second cold look at reality. The world really did suck. Then we found him! And said you have talent, why not join our Morning Show.
Today Woody is back in love with life. At least that is what we keep brainwashing him about, after we lock him back up in his new “special boy’ cage and beat him with old refrigerators.
Listen to Woody, along with his mental mentor Bill, every weekday morning, on the 94-5 Jack FM Morning Show.
P.S. Never bring up the Monks.
Don't miss Woody Wednesdays every Wednesday morning! On Wednesday mornings, Woody decides to stop annoying Bill in the studio and heads out to the streets to annoy the fine people of Regina. From starting a busker band to playing showtunes on a kazoo... well, you get the picture.
Scott Nicholls
Music’s pretty much been central in Scott’s life – from choir and school bands when he was a pup to a stint in radio back in the late 80’s to managing a record store in the early 90’s (where he sold those big black 12-inch CD-type things, kids) to playing bass and singing lead vocals in a ton of journeyman bar bands across Canada and the northern Excited States full-time and then back into radio in 2001, music has always been #1. And no, he did not go to band camp.
When he had the chance to work here at Jack – he jumped at it. Not so much for the free coffee (although that’s a perk – no pun intended), but the chance to play the Greatest Rock of All Time and tell some road stories and sharing some of the obscure music trivia things that rattle around in the rat’s maze he calls a brain made it an easy choice.
He loves music almost as much as he loves the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Toronto Maple Leafs. I know… he’s a Leaf Fan. We deeply apologize for that. We are looking for reason to fire him. On screw up and this Toronto fan is bye bye.
Hugh Dixon
Hugh Dixon is from the West Coast. So he is high a lot. Actually, we should have changed his name to High. Anyway, Hugh is the drive guy on Jack. And despite the odd rash that forms over his face when he plays classic rock, we think he’ okay to have around.
Hugh has a deep passion for classic rock, and underwear. He has mountain of underwear that he keeps in his desk drawer. We think that is where he keeps the weed. I mean, who want to go through a guy’s underwear drawer at work?
Hugh has a beautiful wife and three wonderful sons. But we think he is just lying, and all those pictures he has of them are fakes. I mean with that frantic underwear fetish of his, how could he have such a nice family! Anyway, he’s a dj on our radio station.
Chad McDonald
We hired Chad McDonald mostly out of pity. When we found him, he was just released from prison, and was a virtual mess. But he had good voice, so we thought what the hell.
Since Chad has hit the air in Regina, he has had a real life turn around. He no longer washes himself with jars of chunky peanut butter and no longer does he draw little moustaches on the pictures in the newspaper. However, he still talks in the 3rd person way to often.
We are very anxious to see what kind of career Chad will have with Jack. But we really don’t talk to him that much. He threatens us on daily basis with little notes he makes with his crayons. Call him and say hi, and while you’re at it, ask him about his career goals for us.
