Mountain FM

The Hardcore Challenege info is below, but first I have to share this video with you. Over the weekend, my buddy Matt showed me the most absolute BEST video on the internet.  The video has been on youtube for about 15 months and has over 45 million views. 

Well now onto our newest contest which is more of a challenge with a reality twist.  We are challenging you to get into shape and practice a healthier lifestyle.  Here’s the deal, submit to be one of 7 lucky finalists to improve your health.  Each of the 7 finalists will be given a membership to the Core in Whistler along with expert training.  You’ll be required to meet with the trainer to test your progress once every 2 weeks and your progress will be tracked through our website at mountainfm.com  Outside of meeting with a trainer, the rest is up to you, extra workouts will be your responsibility.  
Every 2 weeks, 2 people will go up on the block and face elimination.  Mountain FM gold diggers are going to vote on who gets to stay and who goes home.  Now in the end, if you reign supreme and are the winner, you get a HUGE prize…

4 nights, 5 days in a luxury suite at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino along with spending cash from Miracle Mile Shops in Las Vegas. Our winner will also receive a 1 year membership at Whistler Core Climbing and Fitness Center.

I’m looking around my office, trying to find something good to use a bonus code.  Perhaps a name or word that can be used to get you more points, however I don’t really see anything that stands out so your bonus code for today is Samantha… she’s my sister.  She’ll get you points today…Enjoy!

Ok so I apologize for this morning…at approximately 8:20am, Jon Rees joined me to explain his back wax that he had last night.  He got his back waxed and neglected his chest which looks like a jungle.  See for yourself…
Ok, so that isn’t really Jon’s chest because he won’t let me take a photo of it, however it looks similar.  Now why would you wax the back and not the front?
Thanks to everyone who called in and agreed with Jon.  I think he won hands down, 4 to 1.  I guess I’m just upset that I can’t grow anything on my chest.  Oh and I thought just for the record, I should put up a picture of my chest!!!!

Click below to listen to some of the phone calls we got this morning.

Now just wait a second…let’s see the stages of development and allocation. 
AND chest hair will get you points ALL weekend.
Have a good one!!!
