    Three: Philadelphia Police Shooting And Fraudulent Fundraiser Warnings

    As the 9 AM hour winds down, we turn back to the Eagles and make our predictions for Sunday's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Hurts' absence, injuries across the roster, and the team's losing streak produce a surprising result: nobody on the crew picks Philadelphia to win. Greg raises the possibility of major changes if the season falls apart, including the future of head coach Nick Sirianni. We finish with final scores, some last-minute Eagles pessimism, and Phil Almquist's look back at October 16 in music history before handing the microphone to Dawn. Dawn's Big Three leads with the latest developments in the shooting of Philadelphia police officers Shane Sieber and Hector Rodriguez. We discuss the murder of Officer Sieber, the impact on his wife and two young children, and the public's support for both officers' families. Dawn shares encouraging news that Officer Rodriguez, who survives being shot multiple times, is up and walking as his long recovery continues. We warn listeners about fraudulent donation pages and address questions surrounding the suspect's alleged statements, prior criminal history, possible racial motivation, and the prosecution of violent offenders. The discussion also covers funeral arrangements, public safety, and support for Philadelphia law enforcement. Next, Dawn turns to the investigation at a home on Chew Avenue in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood, where investigators discover bones while searching a property connected to several missing-women cases. We discuss the ongoing excavation, the Horsch family, drone footage from Newman Price, and the questions facing medical examiners. Dawn then revisits Carolyn Marvin's anti-robot protests and arrest, prompting more debate about robotic delivery services and public behavior. The conversation also moves to a University of Pennsylvania professor's examination of patriotism, followed by a lawsuit involving WWE's Montez Ford and a security guard who alleges inappropriate physical contact during a wrestling broadcast. The hour continues with the case of a Peters Township elementary school teacher accused of drinking vodka and leaving first-grade students unattended. We react to the reported incident, the school's initial understanding of events, and the larger issue of intoxicated educators. After the commercial interval, Dawn and Dan Borowski examine Kimberly Guilfoyle's departure from her ambassadorship in Greece and Eric Deters' lawsuit alleging defamation. We hear Deters' own statements, discuss his claims involving a six-figure credit card bill, and react to his references to Greek mythology, Donald Trump, and Susie Wiles. The crew ends the available live discussion with jokes about Deters' resemblance to Mr. Clean and the peculiar nature of the controversy.

    Candidate Interviews And The Crew's Reactions To Political Performances

    We open the fourth hour with rapid-fire political discussion before moving into Friday Fight Club. The crew reacts to remarks from political figures, including criticism of perceived changes in speaking style depending on the audience, and then prepares to judge another collection of chaotic confrontations. We review a convenience store fight, an encounter involving a security guard, a Waffle House-style restaurant brawl, a bedroom fight, and violence in the stands at a USC football game. Nick, Dawn, Greg, and Shawn debate the action, identify their favorites, and try to settle on Fight of the Week. After Fight Club, we return to a heated discussion about college tuition proposals and the financial realities of making higher education free. The crew debates who actually pays university operating expenses, what happens when schools reach capacity, and whether politicians are making promises without explaining the costs. We discuss the appeal of these proposals to younger voters and compare political messaging in different races, including the Michigan Senate contest. The hour also features reactions to a viral confrontation at a business in Salt Lake City and questions about security, self-defense, and how authorities classify violent incidents.

    Shawn's Tennessee Travel Talk And Moonshine Jokes

    Shawn Farash joins us for the Friday cut sheet, and the energy shifts immediately. We open with travel banter, moonshine jokes, and a spirited discussion of Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and questions surrounding his legal credentials. Shawn and the crew trade political predictions and movie references, including My Cousin Vinny, while Nick questions whether El-Sayed can win over Michigan voters. What begins as an election discussion quickly builds toward a hilarious examination of the candidate's attempt to connect with voters outside a Detroit gas station. We keep Shawn Farash in the studio as we examine Abdul El-Sayed's support among Michigan voters, particularly Black and Jewish voters, and the problems his campaign may face against Mike Rogers. His gas station video becomes one of the morning's funniest discussions as we react to his snack choices, the staging of the footage, and the campaign strategy behind the appearance. We also move into a sports advertising controversy involving Sydney Sweeney, with a Dodgers player's criticism of suggestive commercials during baseball games sparking a debate about parents, television audiences, gambling advertisements, and the responsibility of broadcasters. In the second half of the hour, we turn toward lighter material as Nick and Shawn exchange stories about skateboarding, rollerblading, and childhood behavior. Then the cut sheet takes us into the latest controversy surrounding Shane Gillis and his Saturday Night Live monologue. We debate whether criticism of his jokes is justified, whether comedians should change their material in response to public outrage, and whether the people calling for consequences understand the kind of comedy Gillis performs. The crew reacts to online commentary and an anti-Gillis parody as the discussion moves between serious arguments about free expression and plenty of Friday laughs. Throughout the hour, we also keep the Eagles' difficult situation in view, with Hurts' absence and the uncertainty surrounding the offense affecting expectations for Sunday. Shawn challenges conventional political wisdom, Greg supplies his usual observations, and Nick keeps the conversation moving between election strategy, public controversies, and ridiculous internet moments. The result is a particularly unpredictable Farash Friday with serious political arguments followed almost immediately by the crew roasting a commercial, a campaign video, or each other.

    Pennsylvania Public-Health Regulations And Concerns About Government Authority

    We begin the second hour by dissecting Nick's election predictions, with Dawn focusing on the possibility of Democrats gaining full control of Pennsylvania's state government. We discuss her conversation with State Senator Kim Ward, the state Senate's importance, proposed public-health regulations, and constitutional concerns. Nick and Dawn debate the political consequences of Republican voter turnout, early voting, and campaign messaging in Bucks, Montgomery, Berks, and Lehigh counties. We also examine the limits of polling and prediction markets, the importance of local elections, and the way national politics affects tight races involving Ryan Mackenzie and Brian Fitzpatrick. The conversation returns to the Oregon elementary school shooting, and Nick presents school shooting statistics from CBS News while questioning what incidents qualify under different reporting standards. We distinguish between incidents involving gunfire on school property and attacks in which a gunman intentionally targets children inside a school. Dawn and the crew examine the armed bystander's intervention, school security procedures, the unanswered questions surrounding the teenage suspect, and broader debates about adolescent behavior, medication, and parental responsibility.

    Knee Replacement Alternatives And The Crew's Extended Warranty Jokes

    We open Friday with Dawn Stensland discussing Stanford Medicine research involving the regeneration of knee cartilage, which quickly becomes a running joke about knee replacement warranties and extended protection plans. Dawn's morning news moves into a federal investigation of suspicious letters sent to congressional and election offices, including mail addressed to Democratic senators. We then turn to the devastating shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, where three children and a teacher are killed before an armed community member stops the 16-year-old suspect. We question how school shooting statistics are compiled, how quickly authorities identify suspects, and what families need to know about school safety. Locally, we react to Carolyn Marvin's confrontation with an automated food delivery robot near Reading Terminal Market, which ends with her arrest for disorderly conduct. The crew has plenty to say about her decision to block someone's lunch delivery, the police response, and whether this qualifies as a legitimate public protest. Dawn also reports on criminal charges against New Jersey Deputy Attorney General Brian Richard Fitzgerald, who is accused of creating and distributing child sexual abuse material, followed by the suspension of all athletics at Penn Wood High School and the guilty plea of sports gambler Shane Hennen in basketball game-fixing schemes. In sports, Phil Almquist discusses Jalen Hurts' blood clot, Tanner McKee's opportunity, a proposed expansion of the college football playoff, and the Flyers' continued struggles. Nick delivers the Friday Big Take with his reaction to Trump's decision against broadcasting Nidal Hasan's execution and the president's public defense of Susie Wiles following reports of possible changes at the White House. Then it's prediction time. We work through the battle for the House and Senate, Pennsylvania congressional races involving Brian Fitzpatrick and Ryan Mackenzie, Josh Shapiro's reelection bid, and Senate contests involving Ken Paxton, Abdul El-Sayed, Susan Collins, and Michele Tafoya. We examine polling averages, election probabilities, and Harry Enten's argument that relatively small polling errors could dramatically change the election outcome. Nick finishes with a divided-Congress prediction and several potential surprises.

    Full Show For Friday October 16 2026

    It's a packed Farash Friday on Kayal and Company as we tackle Donald Trump's decision to cancel the planned livestream of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan's execution, speculation surrounding White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Nick Kayal's predictions for the November midterms. We go race by race through the battle for Congress, Pennsylvania's governor's office, and closely watched Senate contests in Texas, Michigan, Maine, and Minnesota. Dawn Stensland weighs in on Pennsylvania's political future, the stakes in Bucks and Montgomery counties, and voter participation. We also cover the horrific elementary school shooting in Bend, Oregon, where an armed community member stops the teenage gunman, as well as suspicious letters targeting congressional and election offices across the country. Closer to home, we're following the arrest of a Philadelphia woman who repeatedly blocks delivery robots near Reading Terminal Market, criminal charges against a New Jersey deputy attorney general accused of possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material, and the suspension of athletics at Penn Wood High School. The sports desk brings troubling news as Jalen Hurts misses the Eagles' game against Carolina because of a superficial blood clot, prompting Greg Stocker to predict a stunning offseason shakeup. Shawn Farash joins the crew for Friday chaos, including heated political exchanges, a hilarious gas station video involving Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, Sydney Sweeney's controversial baseball commercials, Shane Gillis backlash, and our weekly Fight Club featuring everything from restaurant brawls to a fight in the stands at a USC football game. In the 10 AM hour, Dawn's Big Three brings major updates on the Philadelphia police ambush that kills Officer Shane Sieber, including encouraging news concerning wounded Officer Hector Rodriguez and warnings about fraudulent fundraisers. We discuss new discoveries at the Olney property connected to an investigation involving missing women and revisit the woman arrested for protesting Philadelphia's delivery robots. The conversation turns to a University of Pennsylvania professor's criticism of American patriotism, a lawsuit involving WWE star Montez Ford, and a Pennsylvania elementary school teacher accused of drinking vodka during the school day. We close the available program with an extended discussion of Kimberly Guilfoyle's departure as ambassador to Greece, Eric Deters' defamation lawsuit, and the crew's reactions to his unusual public statements.

    Outdoor Walking, Running, And Awareness Of Nearby Threats

    We transition into local stories and the day's recurring segments. Phil brings his music-history observations before Dawn presents Dawn's Big Three, beginning with a suburban Pennsylvania public safety warning following an attack involving a woman exercising outdoors. We discuss personal safety while walking or running, including the risks of wearing earbuds in isolated areas. Dawn's second major story involves a Berkeley engineer convicted of poisoning a coworker's food and water, with the victim's suffering and the subsequent court decision producing an animated reaction from everyone in the studio. We examine the consequences of the crime, the criminal justice response, and the controversy involving the engineer's record. Dawn's third major story includes contrasting developments out of Philadelphia. We discuss public safety problems, political speech, and arguments about the treatment of criminal offenders before turning to something much more positive: a citywide Stack's Bowers hunt offering $10,000 in prizes. The crew has fun predicting what might happen when Philadelphians begin racing around Center City searching for hidden prize certificates. We also return to the special cupcake fundraiser supporting the family of Officer Shane Seiber, thank Rich for joining us, and preview the subjects ahead on Dawn Stensland's program, including breast cancer awareness and education issues.

    Cape May Broadcasting Plans And Philadelphia Radio Memories

    Rich Zeoli joins the discussion as we work through the implications of the federal banking review and the government's ability to access private financial information. We compare surveillance authority under federal law with the question of whether private banks should be free to refuse customers, and debate where legitimate business decisions end and political discrimination begins. That conversation takes us into First Amendment principles, freedom of association, banking regulations, and the boundaries of federal power. We also turn to the new White House press secretary, television personalities, and political figures while sharing stories from the broadcasting world. The hour combines substantial Washington policy discussions with plenty of studio humor and disagreements. Rich Zeoli stays with us as the morning's political arguments continue. We trade stories about Philadelphia radio, campaign personalities, and the Texas Senate contest between James Talarico and Ken Paxton. Rich and the crew debate whether a Democratic victory in Texas is realistic, revisit the controversy surrounding Talarico's absence from the campaign trail, and discuss claims circulating about his health. We examine the political damage caused by rumors, the difficulty of managing a statewide campaign during a prolonged absence, and whether Republican concerns about Talarico reflect an actual electoral threat. The conversation also touches on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gavin Newsom, and the potential direction of the Democratic Party.
