    Wednesday, Jun 24 - Ethan Hates John Denver

    Move over McAllen, Texas—there's a new city wearing the crown as America's fattest town. According to a recent study, Little Rock, Arkansas has claimed the top spot, knocking McAllen out of first place. The guys break down the rankings and discuss what factors helped Little Rock rise to the top of a list nobody really wants to lead. If you're planning a summer getaway, a new road trip study may help point you in the right direction. Minnesota was named the best state in America for a road trip thanks to its combination of safe roads, outdoor recreation, festivals, and relatively affordable travel costs. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Rhode Island finished dead last. The crew discusses whether they agree with the rankings and where Connecticut should have landed. Meanwhile, millions of bees are on the loose in Texas after a semitruck carrying dozens of beehives overturned on a roadway. The crash released a massive swarm, creating a difficult situation for emergency crews and local beekeepers trying to recover the insects. It's one of those stories that sounds like the beginning of a disaster movie. The estate of Whitney Houston is pushing back against comments recently made by Oprah Winfrey regarding Whitney's final appearance on her television show. Pat Houston released a statement acknowledging that Whitney did fall off the stage during a sound check, but stressed that the incident happened because of poor lighting and unfamiliar surroundings—not because she was under the influence. While the statement also acknowledged Whitney's well-documented struggles with addiction, the family says they want to correct what they believe are misconceptions about that particular moment. And finally, pickleball fans have something new to look forward to. The trailer for the upcoming comedy film "The Dink" has officially been released. With pickleball continuing to explode in popularity across the country, Hollywood is now getting in on the action with a movie centered around America's fastest-growing sport.

    Tuesday, Jun 23 - Body Wash is a Scam

    The guys discuss a viral video that has people talking all over social media. The clip begins with a man sitting in his living room as the lights suddenly go out during a tornado. Moments later, the video jumps to the aftermath, revealing that the entire home has been reduced to rubble. Somehow, the man survived the storm and captured the shocking before-and-after footage for the world to see. Meanwhile, a new sports trend known as "tarps off" is taking over stadiums and arenas. Fans are ripping off their shirts and swinging them over their heads during games in an effort to fire up the crowd. The guys debate whether it's a fun display of enthusiasm or something sports fans should probably leave behind. In Alaska, an animal rescue organization is facing an unusual challenge. The group is searching for homes for 23 parakeets after receiving dozens of birds from a single owner who reportedly allowed the population to grow out of control. Now, the rescue is hoping to find caring homes for the colorful flock. World Cup visitors from around the globe are also discovering one of America's unofficial traditions: oversized portions. Many international fans are joking about getting the "FIFA 15," referring to the 15 pounds they fear they may gain while sampling burgers, barbecue, fried foods, and other American favorites during their stay. Speaking of poor decisions, a California man needed to be rescued after climbing into a campsite vault toilet in an attempt to recover his sunglasses. Things did not go according to plan, and he ended up falling inside, prompting an emergency response. The crew also discusses comments from Madonna, who recently opened up about why she no longer feels the need to pose nude. Plus, the guys share a list of rules and expectations that members of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are required to follow, sparking a conversation about whether some of those standards are reasonable or a little over the top.

    Monday, Jun 22 - Haggis

    The World Cup is dealing with a scandal off the field, as reports of a sex-related controversy have begun making headlines and creating plenty of buzz around the tournament. Meanwhile, Scottish soccer fans have scored a different kind of victory in the United States. In an effort tied to the World Cup, supporters pushed to have haggis recognized in Massachusetts, and state officials have symbolically embraced the traditional Scottish dish. For those unfamiliar, haggis is a savory pudding made from minced meat, oats, spices, and organ meats, including sheep lung. That's also the reason traditional haggis has effectively been banned in the United States since the 1970s under federal food regulations. In Maryland, a judge has weighed in on a rather unusual controversy involving two large public art sculptures—one shaped like an eggplant and the other resembling a peach. Critics argued the displays carried obvious sexual undertones, but the judge ruled there was nothing inappropriate about the artwork. Down in Florida, a casual game of pickleball reportedly escalated into a violent confrontation. Authorities say a woman repeatedly struck another player in the head with her paddle during an altercation. Michele Bannister is now facing felony battery charges in connection with the incident. Also in Florida, police stopped an elderly driver who was allegedly participating in a street race. According to authorities, the man was clocked traveling at approximately 110 miles per hour alongside another vehicle, proving that some people never quite outgrow their need for speed. The entertainment world is mourning the loss of legendary television producer and director James Burrows, who passed away Friday at the age of 85. Burrows played a major role in shaping some of television's most successful and beloved sitcoms, leaving behind an incredible legacy in the industry. And finally, excitement continues to build for Team USA as they prepare for their highly anticipated World Cup matchup against Australia on Friday. Fans are hoping the Americans can keep the momentum going as tournament play heats up.

    Friday, Jun 19 - His Wife Takes Epic Showers

    A Bronx man is facing charges after police say he was involved in an alleged carjacking in Seymour earlier this month. The guys break down what happened and discuss the latest details from the case. The boys also provide an update on the bizarre cockfighting story out of Tolland, Connecticut, a story that continues to generate plenty of reactions from listeners across the state. Speaking of Connecticut, the crew reveals which city was recently named the worst-run in the state. The ranking gets even worse when you learn that the same city also landed near the bottom of a national study of America's worst-run cities. On the sports front, Team USA takes on Australia today in the first of four World Cup matchups. The guys preview the contest and discuss what fans should expect as the tournament continues. Meanwhile, Starbucks is taking heat on TikTok, where customers are accusing the coffee giant of loading drinks with far too much ice and not nearly enough of the actual beverage. Is it a legitimate complaint or just another social media pile-on? In Florida, a frightening situation unfolded when a rabid cat reportedly attacked five people and a puppy in a neighborhood. Everyone involved is now undergoing treatment after being exposed to the deadly virus. The fast-food world has a new customer satisfaction champion. After years of dominance, Chick-fil-A has been knocked out of the top spot, with Jersey Mike's now claiming the number one position. The guys debate whether the sandwich chain deserves the crown. Plus, the crew shares a hilarious audio clip from a comedian who imagines what it must have sounded like when the first human being accidentally invented cheese. It's one of those bits that's completely ridiculous, yet somehow makes perfect sense.

    Thursday, Jun 18 - Physical Scientist: Experiments and Pushups

    The guys kick things off with another viral dad video making the rounds online. A husband and wife posted a clip of their young son and daughter riding in the backseat of the family car and summed it up perfectly with the caption: "The difference between girl and boy children." If you've ever raised kids, you'll probably recognize the chaos immediately. With Father's Day around the corner, the conversation turns to a question that sparked a lot of debate on social media: What do dads actually want for Father's Day? Responses ranged from spending quality time with family to going to a baseball game, hitting the trails for a hike, or simply relaxing at home. One answer showed up more than any other—a day off. Lou, however, believes only one of those responses is the correct answer and he's prepared to make his case. Meanwhile, over on Reddit, users were busy debating which city deserves the unfortunate title of "worst city in America." Several places received plenty of criticism, including Salt Lake City and Cincinnati, but one city stood above the rest when it came to negative reviews: Springfield. The guys take a closer look at the list and see whether any Connecticut cities found themselves caught in the crossfire. Plus, Snap is betting big on the future with the launch of its new "Specs" smart glasses. The problem? CEO Evan Spiegel looks a little goofy wearing them, and many people aren't exactly lining up to buy a pair. Between the eye-popping price tag and concerns about whether consumers actually want another wearable gadget, the reaction has been mixed. The company has already taken a hit in the market, and the guys discuss whether these futuristic glasses are the next big thing or the next big flop.

    Wednesday, Jun 17 - "Danbury" - The Film

    The boys welcomed Michael Carfagna into the studio. Carfagna is the executive producer of a new short film called Danbury, which tells the dramatic true story of the Pardue brothers. Back in 1970, the brothers allegedly carried out a daring plan that involved bombing a police station on Main Street as a diversion before robbing the Union Savings Bank in downtown Danbury. A new survey found that confidence is alive and well when it comes to the bedroom. More than one-quarter of respondents said they believe they're pretty good in bed. On the other end of the spectrum, only 5% admitted they feel "very insecure" about their performance. The federal government has released additional UFO-related images and materials tied to alleged extraterrestrial encounters. While some people were hoping for definitive proof of alien life, observers quickly pointed out that several of the newly released images appear to be artist renderings depicting events reported by witnesses rather than actual photographs. Meanwhile, in California, crowds of hungry tourists and soccer fans have been lining up outside the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed pizzeria in Santa Monica. The nostalgia factor is clearly working, but so is the sticker shock. A large two-topping pizza at the restaurant can cost more than $50, leaving some customers wondering if they're paying for dinner or a collector's item. And in Alabama, the owners of a new ice cream shop called "Local Scoop" found themselves in legal trouble after allegedly harassing a customer who posted a one-star review online. The incident has sparked debate about how businesses should respond to negative feedback in the age of social media and online reviews.

    Tuesday, Jun 16 - No One Can Agree on How to Say Words

    A new survey suggests that Gen Z may be rethinking the traditional wedding experience. Nearly 70% of young adults say modern weddings feel more like a carefully orchestrated production than a genuine celebration. Between the social media pressure, elaborate venues, and sky-high costs, many in the younger generation appear to be questioning whether today's weddings have become more about the spectacle than the marriage itself. Meanwhile, an interview between actresses Jamie Lee Curtis and Mariska Hargitay took an unexpectedly entertaining turn. The longtime friends were asked by Variety to interview one another, but the conversation got surprisingly spirited when they disagreed over the proper way to pronounce Los Angeles. It wasn't exactly a Hollywood feud, but it did make for a memorable moment. Speaking of celebrity obsession, someone recently paid $7,000 for the seat that Taylor Swift occupied during a New York Knicks game. Apparently, owning a piece of pop culture history is worth a small fortune to some fans. On a more thought-provoking note, a new question is making the rounds online: What should be included in the next American time capsule? From smartphones and streaming subscriptions to memes and energy drinks, there's no shortage of ideas that could help future generations understand life in the 2020s. And finally, a sanctioned bicycle race took a chaotic turn when an elderly man riding a mobility scooter wandered into the middle of the course. The unexpected obstacle triggered a massive crash involving ten cyclists, turning an ordinary race into a scene that competitors won't soon forget. Fortunately, nobody expected the day's biggest challenge to come from a hover-round crossing the road.

    Friday, Jun 12 - Disaster Area

    There's a new viral term "exhausterwhelmulated" that is making the rounds. Some Orange County, California teens rode their E-bikes through a Walmart, narrowly missing customers and creating a dangerous scene. 61-year old Vince Vasquez recorded as he shouted at them. The first full trailer for Netflix's new "Little House on the Prairie" came out yesterday. HBO dropped the trailer for Larry David's new show, "Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America".

    Thursday, Jun 11 - Hi

    History was made last night at Madison Square Garden, where the New York Knicks pulled off an unbelievable comeback against the San Antonio Spurs. At one point, the Knicks were staring down a 29-point deficit—but somehow flipped the script completely, storming back in dramatic fashion and stealing the win in the final seconds. It’s the kind of game fans will be talking about for a long time. In entertainment news, the trailer has dropped for the upcoming Green Day road trip movie “Nimrods.” The preview teases a mix of chaos, nostalgia, and fan moments—including a scene where a local band unexpectedly crosses paths with their musical heroes, Green Day, themselves. Meanwhile, police in Washington state are searching for a suspect accused of a bizarre incident inside a Walmart. Authorities say a man allegedly set an entire rack of bras on fire before fleeing the store, prompting an ongoing investigation and a search for the individual responsible. In aviation news out of Canada, an Air Canada pilot has been arrested after it was discovered he had been flying without a valid, up-to-date license—and reportedly had been doing so for years. The airline says that while Geoffrey Wall did not have the proper current certification, internal reviews suggest he was still considered competent to fly. On a lighter note, today is “Say Hi Day,” a social observance encouraging people to simply acknowledge and greet others they encounter. The idea is to spread a little positivity with something as simple as a hello. And finally, a growing trend in the beverage world: “dirty sodas.” These over-the-top drinks are gaining popularity as a kind of mocktail hybrid, mixing traditional sodas with flavored syrups, candy, whipped cream, and other sweet add-ins. The result is a colorful, sugary creation that’s as much dessert as it is drink.
