    Thursday, Aug 27 - Who is Going to Die Next?

    The boys catch up with Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves for his regular weekly appearance, where they cover what's happening around the city and, as always, probably manage to sneak in a few questions that weren't exactly on the official agenda. Meanwhile, a Brookfield corn maze is getting ready to pay tribute to none other than Dolly Parton, because apparently there is no better combination than corn, country music and Dolly. A woman on TikTok has also sparked a pretty funny debate after posting a photo of her brand-new bow tattoo and asking the internet a very important question: does it actually look like a bow, or does it accidentally resemble a man's nether region? Once the internet gets involved in something like that, you already know the comments are going to be brutal. People are also having some fun with a post breaking down the six possible ways you can apparently dress for bed: pants and a shirt, underwear and a shirt, just underwear, just a shirt, just pants, or absolutely nothing. Apparently, option number four — wearing nothing but a shirt — has become the controversial choice. There's something about the idea of sleeping in just a shirt that really seems to bother people, although I'm guessing plenty of people listening right now are guilty of it. And finally, the CEO of Flock Safety made an appearance on Fox News to call for what he described as a national "compromise" between privacy and public safety. His comments come as the company faces increasing criticism over its use of AI-powered surveillance technology and license-plate tracking. The debate continues over how much information communities should be collecting in the name of keeping people safe, and where we should draw the line when it comes to privacy.

    Wednesday, Aug 26 - Ethan is Back!

    The boys swap some stories about high school hazing and the ridiculous things students have been put through over the years. Meteorologist Patrick Osborn from WABI 5 in Maine also gave viewers something to talk about when he completely lost it during Sunday morning’s broadcast. An off-screen distraction apparently caught him at just the right moment, and despite his best efforts to keep things professional, he could not hold it together. A baker is also trying to convince people that making a loaf of sourdough bread isn't nearly as time-consuming as it sounds. Kate Freebairn says you're really only working with the dough for a few minutes at a time, even though the entire process takes roughly three days. So technically, she's not wrong, but I'm pretty sure most people hear "three days" and immediately decide they're buying bread at the grocery store. Police in Georgia recently turned to Facebook to identify a man who found $30 on the ground inside a Walmart and apparently decided that returning it wasn't his first priority. Authorities referred to him as a "suspect," which sounds pretty serious for 30 bucks. The man eventually returned the money, and the person who lost it decided not to press charges. Meanwhile, a popular New Jersey beach was forced to close the water after dozens of syringes washed up along the shoreline. The beach itself remained open, but lifeguards strongly encouraged people to stay out of the water. That's probably one of those announcements that makes you rethink your entire beach day. And finally, freshmen at Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, are getting a very awkward welcome to high school. On the first day of classes, seniors line the parking lot and make incoming freshmen give their mom, dad or grandparent a goodbye kiss before entering the building. Somehow, the parents seem to absolutely love it, while I imagine the freshmen are already wondering if transferring schools is an option.

    Tuesday, Aug 25 - Just Store it in the Oven

    What Disney character best represents your favorite football team? The boys have the answers, and somehow, we think some of these comparisons are going to hit a little too close to home. New York also gets some good news when it comes to teen drivers, landing among the safest states in the country for young people behind the wheel. The boys also dive into your latest TV and movie recommendations, including Lanterns, The Substance, Monsters of God, From, Hard Knocks, and Westies. There’s a little bit of everything in that lineup, so expect some strong opinions, questionable reviews, and probably a few arguments over what everyone should actually be watching. A new study also takes a look at Millennials and their finances, and apparently, a lot of them may be putting on a better financial performance than reality would suggest. The study found that many Millennials are spending their money on vacations, trips, dining, and experiences instead of putting as much toward savings. Basically, some people are living like they have their financial lives completely figured out while their bank accounts may have a very different story to tell. And finally, we have one of those stories that sounds like it was written for a sitcom. A 24-year-old Florida man was arrested after allegedly destroying a Flock camera at an intersection. The problem? He apparently didn't know the camera was fake. Police had installed the fake device after the actual cameras at that location had recently been stolen. So, technically, he destroyed a fake camera while apparently thinking he was taking out the real thing. That's a pretty impressive amount of confidence for someone who didn't bother checking what he was destroying.

    Monday, Aug 24 - Flock You!

    The Ethan, Lou & Large Dave Show is the No. 1 morning show in the Greater Danbury market, airing every weekday from 5:30 AM to 10:00 AM on the legendary Home of Rock & Roll, i95 WRKI-FM. Ethan Carey and Lou Milano are live and local, bringing comedy and insight to each day's most relevant stories from Connecticut and bordering New York.

    Friday, Aug 21 - Gooch Side Effects

    The boys reveal Connecticut and New York’s favorite sandwiches, and naturally, we have some thoughts about the results. A daughter recently asked her mom what her favorite part of having kids was, and the answer from her mom and aunt completely caught her off guard. Their response? “When you all left for college.” Honestly, that is either brutally honest or the greatest endorsement of empty nesting we've ever heard. Police say a man known as “Bluntman” was allegedly planning to distribute a large amount of marijuana at the Gathering of the Juggalos festival. The nickname alone probably should have raised some questions, but apparently things got even more obvious when he received a Cameo message from ICP’s Violent J. Dr. Eric Davis, a scientist who previously worked with the Pentagon’s UFO program, claims he has seen evidence of four alleged alien bodies. So naturally, we're going to discuss whether we're finally getting closer to the truth about extraterrestrial life or whether this whole thing is getting stranger by the day. AC/DC fans in St. Louis may have just won the rock-and-roll lottery. The Pretty Reckless had to drop out of the opening slot for the band's September 8 show, and the replacement is pretty ridiculous: Foo Fighters. That's one way to upgrade your opening act. And finally, you probably say “yum” when you eat a cookie, but Harrison Ford and Cookie Monster took things to another level. The two teamed up to eat cookies for Sesame Street, and somehow the combination caused them to break into a very familiar theme song.

    Thursday, Aug 20 - Make All the Tennis Players do Coke

    Connecticut is using a pretty bizarre combination of barbed wire, doughnut grease and tampons soaked in raspberry extract to figure out exactly how many black bears are roaming around the state. Meanwhile, Connecticut billionaire Ray Dalio is apparently still raving about his recent birthday celebration in Ibiza, Spain. Wildlife experts are also studying what appears to be a growing dolphin population situation in Connecticut. It’s National Radio Day, so naturally the guys take a quick victory lap and remind everyone why radio is still awesome. A teacher in Houston named Valecia is going viral after creating a “fart corner” in her classroom, giving her students an official place to go when nature calls. A marketing director asked what it would take to get Gen Xers back to concerts, and comedian Dan Regan came through with what might be the perfect list of demands. A woman in Philadelphia also shared a terrifying story about encountering a man who police say threatened and chased six people in about 30 minutes while wearing a Chucky-style mask. Netflix is being sued over K-pop Demon Hunters by the Christian metal band Demon Hunter, which has been around for decades. The band claims the movie infringes on its trademark and constitutes unfair competition. One of the greatest frontmen in rock history, Robert Plant, turns 78 today, and we're taking a look back at his legendary career. And finally, there’s a documentary coming out next month about comedian Dane Cook's brother and former business manager, who allegedly stole $12 million from him, hid the money in jars of spaghetti sauce and then disappeared. The documentary is called “Funny Money.”

    Wednesday, Aug 19 - We Goon

    The boys get everyone ready for the big weekend ahead as Danbury's San Gennaro Festival takes over the city. A new list is also out ranking some of Connecticut's most popular slang terms for 2026, and naturally, we have thoughts. Meanwhile, things got completely out of control at the Wisconsin State Fair, where a massive brawl broke out and reportedly stretched for several hundred yards. In one of the strangest campaigns we've seen in a while, two beverage companies and Jason Kelce, Taylor Swift's brother-in-law, are encouraging people to collect their own pee and send it to data centers. The idea is to use the water to help cool servers while also conserving water. The bizarre commercial features Liquid Death and Garage Beer. Things also got heated inside a Detroit newsroom when a news anchor apparently lost her patience with a co-worker and let him have it on camera. We'll play the clip featuring Taryn Asher from FOX 2 Detroit. Elsewhere, a Kentucky woman woke up to discover that a bear had wandered into her house through an open door and helped itself to her leftover KFC. Apparently, even bears know you don't waste good fried chicken. And we've got some sad news from the music world: ZZ Top's Frank Beard has died. Plus, we've got a pretty grim music statistic to go along with it. According to a Harvard study, traffic accident deaths increase by about 15% on major album release days. Researchers looked at Spotify's first-day album releases between 2017 and 2022 and found a surprising connection between big new music releases and deadly traffic accidents.

    Tuesday, Aug 18 - No Memory of Woodstock

    The manager of a family farm in England is refusing to change the name of a Titanic-themed ride that features a simulated shipwreck. He says the attraction has been at the park for several years, but this summer some parents complained that they felt the ride was disrespectful and in poor taste. The manager says the backlash is coming from what he calls the “woke brigade,” and he has no plans to rename the attraction. A Florida man is accused of getting into a fight with his neighbor over dog poop. According to police, Trey Decloedt was upset because his neighbor wasn't cleaning up after their dog. Things allegedly escalated to the point where Decloedt picked up the feces with his bare hands and threw it at his neighbor. Nothing says “good fences make good neighbors” quite like weaponized dog poop. The boys review Lanterns on HBO Max and give their thoughts on the new DC series. “Good Day Detroit” co-anchor Ryan Ermanni couldn't keep it together during a live broadcast last Thursday after a colleague asked him a very important question: “Do you think you could eat beaver?” Ermanni immediately started laughing, proving once again that live television is at its best when someone asks a question nobody saw coming. Today in Rock History: CBS Evening News aired a wrap-up of the Woodstock concert. The footage really speaks for itself and gives us a look back at one of the biggest music events in history. Who remembers ordering records, cassettes and CDs from Columbia House? You'd get what felt like an unbelievable deal to start, followed by years of wondering whether you actually remembered to send back the card telling them you didn't want that month's selection. If you didn't know, Columbia House survived as an online catalog club offering DVDs and Blu-rays, but the company is finally calling it quits on September 15. Matthew McConaughey recently did a “My Life in 10 Songs” interview with Rolling Stone, listing 10 songs that played an important role in his life. One of his choices was Janet Jackson's “That's the Way Love Goes,” which was released in 1993. McConaughey doesn't say exactly when the song became significant to him or what birthday he was celebrating, but considering the song came out in 1993, we know he wasn't exactly living a sober, straight-edge lifestyle back then.

    Monday, Aug 17 - This is Livin'!

    Which state has more swingers, Connecticut or New York? The answer might actually surprise you. Connecticut also apparently has a serious love affair with ginger ale, drinking more of it than any other soda. An Amazon worker is calling out a customer who apparently keeps ordering Essentia Water, and the reason behind it has people laughing. Meanwhile, a homeowner is going viral after showing herself spray-painting a dead bush green because her HOA kept hitting her with $45 penalties. A lot of people are siding with her because, honestly, her frustration is pretty relatable. A homeless man in Oregon, Kenneth Voyles, is suing a business owner for a whopping $10 million after he allegedly broke into the business and was shot. Actress Hayden Panettiere reportedly died yesterday at just 36 years old. There is currently no word on the cause of death. Panettiere began acting as a child and went on to star in numerous television shows and movies while also publicly dealing with a number of personal struggles throughout her life. And Kristen Bell was a surprise guest at a Savannah Bananas game in Denver on Saturday night. She made quite an entrance, walking down the aisle while singing before dancing her way onto the field. She eventually joined Broadway star Derek Klena and sang part of "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing, giving the crowd a pretty memorable surprise.

    Friday, Aug 14 - Comedian Nick Scopoletti

    The boys welcome comedian Nick Scopoletti into the studio today. Nick is a hilarious stand-up comedian who also happens to be Lisa Lampanelli's podcast sidekick, so we're expecting some great stories, some brutally honest opinions, and hopefully a little dirt on Lisa. A huge chunk of a Danbury church collapsed on West Street yesterday, and the boys have all the details on what happened, including the latest from firefighters and city officials. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries. A Wisconsin store got a very strange surprise when a box of old games turned out to contain nearly 100 copies of an unknown variant of the original Nintendo's Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt. Some tiny details on the cartridges are different from every other known released version, which could make these games surprisingly valuable to collectors. Meanwhile, a school in Texas is going viral over a bizarre dress code controversy involving the marching band. Female band members were reportedly asked to perform a so-called "jump test" to make sure their undergarments "hold firmly" enough. The band director later clarified that the test was supposed to be something students performed privately on their own, but that's not exactly stopping the internet from having a field day with this one. Apparently, Europeans can be just as dense as Americans. Searches for eye injuries skyrocketed following Wednesday's solar eclipse in Western Europe, despite all the warnings about looking directly at the sun. A bride in the U.K. also made quite an entrance at her wedding by riding her favorite cow down the aisle. She says it's something she's wanted to do since she was 10 years old. The bride and her husband are both farmers, so I guess the cow was technically family. An 8-year-old Pennsylvania boy caught a piranha while fishing with his dad. Experts believe it was probably someone's pet that was released into the water after getting too big. And finally, a new documentary will feature a long-lost 1971 radio interview with Billy Joel, recorded around the release of his first album. Even back then, Billy apparently wasn't afraid to speak his mind—during the interview, he reportedly called Madison Square Garden a rip-off.
