    Friday, Apr 17 - Make a Circle with Mr. Mark

    The Ridgefield Historical Society is working to raise money in an effort to preserve a historic American Revolutionary War battlefield before it potentially becomes the site of new townhouse development. It’s a battle between history and housing, and plenty of people are paying attention. Police also say two residents from New Jersey were arrested after allegedly breaking into an IBM building in Somers. Meanwhile, science is apparently busy doing science things, because researchers have now developed a functional third thumb device. So naturally the big question becomes: what exactly would you do with an extra thumb? Down in Louisiana, police arrested a suspect who reportedly kept a running tally of how many officers he had managed to evade over the years. Confidence is one thing—keeping score is another level entirely. The boys also dug into a comprehensive list of those weird little things everyone experiences but almost nobody talks about. You know, the oddly specific moments in life that somehow happen to all of us. In lawsuit news, a woman in California is suing Carnival Cruise Line, claiming the company overserved her alcohol and left her with a brutal hangover. That’s certainly one way to remember a vacation. Over in Nerd News, researchers say urine collected at festivals can actually be repurposed into fertilizer, proving once again that science never sleeps. Mr. Mark also made his return with an important message about circles, because someone has to keep the public informed. And finally, the guys examined the term “phubber,” which has gone viral yet again. If you’ve never heard it before, it refers to people who ignore those around them in favor of staring at their phones. In other words, you probably know several of them already.

    Thursday, Apr 16 - Good Morning Julia

    Dave revealed to Lou that he’s basically brand new to the world of viral videos, which is honestly hard to believe in 2026. Naturally, Lou saw that as the perfect opportunity to educate him the only way he knows how—by digging up some absolute internet classics. First up was the legendary Wizard of Oz argument, followed by what might be the most painfully awkward video ever created, “Good Morning Julia.” If you know, you know… and if you don’t, consider yourself lucky. From there, Lou pivoted into an update on the bizarre and ongoing 10-year chimpanzee war in Africa, because of course that’s where the conversation goes next. Things only got weirder from there. Actress Shannon Elizabeth is reportedly joining OnlyFans, which definitely caught everyone’s attention. Over in Japan, a manager has been suspended after allegedly forcing his employees to play board games that he created himself—which sounds less like team building and more like punishment. Meanwhile, here in the U.S., a jury ruled that Live Nation and Ticketmaster have been operating as a monopoly, a decision that could have major ripple effects across the live entertainment industry. And because there’s never a shortage of strange headlines, a tourist in Tennessee was arrested after allegedly attacking a stripper and cutting her hair—yes, that’s a real sentence we just had to say out loud. On a completely different note, a life vest worn by a survivor of the sinking of the RMS Titanic just sold at auction for a staggering amount of money. To round things out, Roberto Alves, the mayor of Danbury, stopped by the studio to hang with the guys and talk about what’s happening locally. Just another totally normal day on the show.

    Wednesday, Apr 15 - Baby Jessica is a National Treasure

    Dave says there was a “huge tragedy” in his hometown of Torrington yesterday—a small brush fire near Burr Pond that was quickly brought under control. Of course, that was enough to lead the local news cycle. From there, the conversation shifted to a question that never seems to go away: are there actually mountain lions in Connecticut? Jen the Zookeeper joined the crew to break it all down and give her expert take on the ongoing debate. In other news, Jessica McClure—the girl famously rescued from a well decades ago—was recently arrested on a domestic battery charge. Meanwhile, Diana Russini has reportedly submitted her resignation to The Athletic following a scandal involving Mike Vrabel, the head coach of the New England Patriots. The guys also dove into some of the more bizarre stories making the rounds, including the idea of “meat cereal”—yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like—and whether anyone in their right mind would actually eat it. On the tech front, marijuana breathalyzers are getting closer to becoming a real, usable thing, which could have a major impact on law enforcement. And to round things out, there’s growing buzz that Chappelle's Show could be making a comeback, which would definitely shake up the comedy world if it actually happens.

    Tuesday, Apr 14 - The Crimson Fist

    Danbury is getting some serious national recognition after being named one of the Top 100 Best Places to Live in the country. Not bad for a city that people used to overlook—now it’s officially on the map. In other news, a guy named Chris Buck claims he’s invented a “vaccine beer,” which sounds like something you’d come up with after a few too many actual beers. Lou and Dave aren’t buying it for a second, and honestly, it feels like something that probably shouldn’t exist. Big Daddy Dave is back on the show, and in a shocking twist—he’s still terrible. No growth, no improvement, just consistently brutal across the board. Meanwhile, Connecticut is rolling out a new therapy program involving horses that’s getting attention for potentially helping people deal with the more intense lingering symptoms of COVID-19. It’s definitely unconventional, but if it works, it works. Out in Pennsylvania, things escalated quickly—like, record speed. A guy clocked into work and, within one minute, punched a coworker in the face. That might be the fastest “I quit” energy we’ve ever seen. The guys also caught up with Sal Cirrincione from Premiere Radio Networks to break down the 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class, because nothing gets people more fired up than arguing about who deserves to be in. Over in the UK, there’s a man proudly claiming he drinks 10 pints of alcohol a day, which is either impressive, alarming, or both. It was also TV Talk Tuesday, so the boys dove into a new Netflix documentary called “False Prophet,” breaking down what works, what doesn’t, and whether it’s actually worth your time. They also got into the news that “Little House on the Prairie” is getting rebooted for Netflix, because apparently nothing is off-limits anymore. To wrap things up, the guys shared some underrated weight loss tips they found online—some actually useful, some… questionable at best.

    Monday, Apr 13 - Big Daddy Dave

    New Haven Police are putting out a warning, telling residents to be extra careful when setting up meetups through Facebook Marketplace. According to authorities, there’s been a recent spike in robberies tied to Marketplace deals, with suspects using fake listings to lure people in before targeting them in person. The message is simple: if you’re buying or selling something, meet in a well-lit, public place—and maybe bring a friend along just to be safe. In other totally normal Connecticut news… there’s apparently a serial street pooper on the loose in Torrington. Yes, you read that correctly. Residents are dealing with an ongoing mystery that sounds like something straight out of a bad sitcom, but unfortunately, it’s very real—and very gross. Meanwhile, things are looking a little more civilized over in Brookfield, where a brand-new Starbucks has opened up, complete with a drive-thru. Because if there’s one thing Connecticut loves, it’s convenience and caffeine. On the show, the guys also dove into the latest on Artemis II, breaking down the splashdown and what it means moving forward, while somehow also managing to give an update on what can only be described as a chimpanzee civil war happening in parts of Africa. It’s one of those sentences you never think you’ll say out loud, but here we are. And if you thought things couldn’t get weirder, Joey Buttafuoco is back in the headlines—this time because he’s apparently figured out how to use TikTok. What a time to be alive. To wrap it all up, Lou and Dave introduced what might be the next big character on the show: Big Daddy Dave… a man who may very well be one of the dumbest human beings walking the Earth. And honestly, that’s saying something.

    Friday, Arp 10 - Coach Dave McDonough

    More details are starting to come out about Brookfield’s newest hidden gem, a speakeasy-style spot called “The Monkey Bar.” It’s got that secretive, tucked-away vibe people love, and from what we’re hearing, it’s quickly becoming one of those places you need to know about before everyone else does. Meanwhile, over in the world of internet creativity, the folks behind “There I Ruined It” are at it again. This time they took Toto’s classic “Africa” and flipped it on its head—ditching the original lyrics and replacing them with a rapid-fire list of every country on the African continent. It’s chaotic, oddly educational, and somehow still catchy. On the weather front, experts are keeping a close eye on the potential for a “Super El Niño.” For those who don’t follow climate patterns closely, El Niño is a natural warming of Pacific Ocean waters that can have a ripple effect on global weather. When it ramps up, it’s often tied to some of the hottest years on record, so this is definitely something worth watching. In baseball, the Toronto Blue Jays leaned into nostalgia in a big way, celebrating their 1977 inaugural season by offering 77-cent hot dogs. Fans showed up—and showed out—buying more than 100,000 hot dogs before the seventh inning stretch during a game against the Dodgers. Safe to say that promotion was a massive hit. There was also a scary moment in the skies recently, as a flight departing from Nantucket was forced to make an emergency landing after a cabin door blew off mid-flight. Thankfully, the situation was handled without any reported catastrophe, but it’s the kind of story that’ll make you grip the armrest a little tighter next time you fly. Back on solid ground, the current “Jeopardy!” champion is on an absolute tear, racking up a 20-game winning streak. On top of that, the contestant managed to tie a record held by host Ken Jennings, correctly answering 45 clues in a row—a seriously impressive run. And finally, a little good news to wrap things up: a neglected betta fish that was once found barely alive in a pet store cup has made an incredible turnaround. After being taken in by a caring owner, the fish is now thriving—a small but satisfying reminder that a little attention and care can go a long way.

    Thursday, Apr 9 - Nauga-Truck

    In some tough local news, the Naugatuck Food Truck Festival has been canceled—yeah, that one stings a little. Meanwhile, ALERT THE MEDIA! A New York man was arrested in Westport after allegedly leading police on a car chase. The guys also get into a very important question—do we really need Jason Kelce hanging around at The Masters, or is that becoming a bit much? There’s also talk about how doing your chores—yeah, actual chores—might somehow help you more than you think. Down in Florida, because of course it’s Florida, two guys were arrested after being caught with a dead alligator on their roof. Totally normal behavior. We’ve also got audio of a guy who actually called Augusta National Golf Club trying to book a tee time… during the Masters. Good luck with that. And then there was a pretty big media screw-up—CNN accidentally published an article saying Michael J. Fox had died. Just to be clear, he is very much alive.

    Wednesday, Apr 8 - Eyebrows Run Amok

    A new chicken spot called Birdcode has officially opened in Brookfield, and people are already buzzing about it. We’ll get into what makes this place different and whether it’s actually worth checking out. Over in Ridgefield, there’s a proposal on the table that’s raising some eyebrows. The town is considering building townhouses on land that has historical significance as a Revolutionary War battlefield. Some people are all for development, others think it’s a terrible idea—so that debate is heating up. Out in California, things took a bizarre turn at what should’ve been a wholesome event. A child attending an Easter egg hunt reportedly discovered a human skull. Yeah… not exactly what you expect when you’re looking for candy-filled plastic eggs. We also get into a wild conversation about the future—specifically, whether living in space long-term could actually lead to humans evolving into an entirely new species. It sounds like science fiction, but there are real discussions happening around it. Back here in the U.S., a scary situation unfolded at Hersheypark ZooAmerica, where an unsupervised child was attacked by a wolf. It’s another reminder of how quickly things can go wrong in environments like that. On a lighter (and slightly ridiculous) note, we talk about Doritos prices and how, apparently, they’re not considered too expensive for Walmart shoppers right now. So we had to ask—what is too expensive these days? From there, the guys dive into some fun stuff, breaking down iconic movie quotes that everyone gets wrong. You’ll definitely recognize a few of these, and it might mess with your brain a little when you realize you’ve been saying them wrong for years. We also stumbled onto a conversation about childbirth—specifically the idea that women may not have originally been meant to give birth lying on their backs. It’s one of those topics that sounds strange at first, but actually has some interesting history behind it. And finally, there’s a more serious and mysterious story developing—the number of American scientists who have recently gone missing or been found dead has now climbed to eight, raising a lot of questions and concerns. It’s a little bit of everything—local news, weird headlines, and some conversations that go completely off the rails. Just another day.

    Tuesday, Apr 7 - UCONN Loses

    Lou shares details about his upcoming stand-up comedy show in New Milford. UConn Huskies men's basketball fell to Michigan Wolverines men's basketball, as Michigan captured the NCAA Men’s National Championship. There’s a massive wall in New York City that’s now blocking the view of the Statue of Liberty from Battery Park. Lisa Kudrow says she felt like the least popular cast member on Friends. Sabrina Carpenter just dropped a new music video featuring Margaret Qualley and not much clothing. A new study claims Gen Z is getting hooked on sexual interactions with chatbots. Pokémon cards are reportedly fueling an international crime wave. And in Japan, there’s a trending restaurant where customers actually pay to be slapped in the face by the staff..
