    Thursday, Oct 22 - (50 Series) - Buzz Knight & Fat Gilly

    As I-95 gets ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary on December 24, 2026, the boys are taking a trip down memory lane with some familiar faces. Throughout the anniversary celebration, Ethan, Lou, and Large Dave are catching up with friends and former colleagues to share stories, revisit memorable moments, and look back at the people who helped make I-95 what it is today. This morning, Ethan, Lou and Dave sat down with Buzz Knight from "The Breakfast Flakes" morning show and Fat Gilly who did a little bit of everything at I-95. They swapped stories, reminisced about the old days, and reflected on the experiences that come with being part of the Home of Rock and Roll. With five decades of history behind the station, there are plenty of memories worth revisiting, and you can bet a few laughs along the way are guaranteed.

    Wednesday, Oct 21 - T.C.B. - Takin' Care of Business

    It's day two of Lou telling Ethan he's T.C.B. — that's "Takin' Care of Business" — and Ethan is already getting tired of hearing about it. The boys also discuss a bacon recall in Connecticut that has officials concerned. Plus, the Connecticut Lottery has a message for players: don't throw away those Lucky for Life tickets just yet! The guys explain why you might want to double-check before tossing them in the trash. A flight traveling from St. Louis to Philadelphia had to make an emergency landing Saturday morning after oxygen masks suddenly dropped from the ceiling in the middle of the flight. That's certainly one way to make sure everyone on board is paying attention. Meanwhile, a new survey finds that nearly half of Americans wouldn't want to ride in a flying car, even if they had the opportunity. And it gets better: almost 50% of those surveyed also believe flying cars will never become widely available technology in the United States. Apparently, we're still not ready to give up sitting in traffic on the ground. If decorating your home for Halloween sounds like too much work, there are people you can hire to cover your porch in pumpkins. One Texas woman has been running a pumpkin-decorating business since 2020, and her services can cost as much as $1,000 per home. That's a lot of pumpkins, and apparently, a lot of people are willing to pay for the perfect fall Instagram photo. A woman on TikTok is also making the case for spending the night at an airport instead of booking a hotel room. She shares three reasons why sleeping near your gate might actually be the better option. We're guessing saving money is somewhere on that list, although getting a decent night's sleep on an airport bench sounds like a challenge. And finally, a Canadian man has been found guilty of animal cruelty after stealing a flamingo named Peachy and taking the bird to his Las Vegas hotel room. Because apparently, a trip to Vegas wasn't strange enough without checking in with a stolen flamingo.

    Tuesday, Oct 20 - (50 Series) - Tom Zarecki

    As I-95 gets ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary on December 24, 2026, the boys are taking a trip down memory lane with some familiar faces. Throughout the anniversary celebration, Ethan, Lou, and Large Dave are catching up with friends and former colleagues to share stories, revisit memorable moments, and look back at the people who helped make I-95 what it is today. This morning, Lou and Dave sat down with their good friend and I-95's first Program Director Tom Zarecki. They swapped stories, reminisced about the old days, and reflected on the experiences that come with being part of the Home of Rock and Roll. With five decades of history behind the station, there are plenty of memories worth revisiting, and you can bet a few laughs along the way are guaranteed.

    Monday, Oct 19 - Keep Moving to Florida

    An elderly Pennsylvania woman named Carolyn Marvin had a bizarre confrontation with an Uber Eats delivery robot in Philadelphia last Wednesday. Reports say she repeatedly blocked the robot's path and ignored multiple commands from police officers to move out of the way. We're not sure what the robot did to her, but apparently this delivery was going to take a little longer than expected. A man on TikTok is calling out Walmart after claiming the price of butter increased between the time he picked it up off the shelf and reached the checkout. He asked to speak with a manager, only to be told that this kind of price change is normal. So now we're wondering: Can the price of your groceries change while you're shopping? Delish has put together a list of some of the most commonly mispronounced food words. We're talking Chipotle, macaron, açai, Worcestershire, espresso, lychee, bruschetta, gyro, pho, and mezcal. How many of those have you been saying wrong your entire life? And more importantly, how many of us are going to keep saying them wrong anyway? A strange new debate is taking over TikTok: Are coffee shops opening early enough? Some customers are frustrated that their favorite coffee spots aren't open when they're heading to work, while small-shop baristas argue that there's barely anyone showing up at those hours. Should coffee shops be ready to serve you before sunrise, or is it unreasonable to expect someone to make your latte at 4:30 in the morning? And finally, ever wonder what it sounds like to be aboard a train when a tornado passes by? The boys have audio that gives you a chance to experience that terrifying moment without actually having to be anywhere near it.

    Friday, Oct 16 - (50 Series) - Jay Coffey

    As I-95 gets ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary on December 24, 2026, the boys are taking a trip down memory lane with some familiar faces. Throughout the anniversary celebration, Ethan, Lou, and Large Dave are catching up with friends and former colleagues to share stories, revisit memorable moments, and look back at the people who helped make I-95 what it is today. This morning, Lou and Dave sat down with their good friend and former I-95 personality Jay Coffey. They swapped stories, reminisced about the old days, and reflected on the experiences that come with being part of the Home of Rock and Roll.

    Thursday, Oct 15 - That Dude is a Cuck

    The Shane Gillis and SNL controversy is getting more attention as the debate continues to heat up. Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves joins the show for another round of Ask the Mayor, answering questions about the city and sharing his thoughts with the boys. The guys also discuss a bizarre story involving a robot that allegedly assaulted a young woman. Meanwhile, some couples are discovering a new way to strengthen their relationships: pole dancing! They say taking classes together has improved their flexibility, boosted their confidence, and brought them closer as a couple. In New York City, an iconic Central Park tradition is facing its final days, as the mayor and City Council have reached an agreement on legislation to phase out the famous horse-drawn carriage industry. We also have video of a guy in Arizona who allegedly smashed his way through a tech company's window and walked out carrying dozens of Mac Minis. There's just one problem: the computers weren't quite what he thought they were. And finally, a new documentary about Bea Arthur is on the way, and its title comes straight from an actual quote by the legendary actress herself.

    Wednesday, Oct 14 - (50 Series) - Ray Graham

    As I-95 gets ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary on December 24, the boys are catching up with some former colleagues and familiar voices from the station's past. Today, they sat down with former I-95 Program Director Ray Graham to share some memories and look back at the station's history. A woman in New Hampshire went to urgent care after suffering an asthma attack, expecting to get the treatment she needed. Unfortunately, things took a pretty alarming turn when staff apparently forgot she was still inside and locked up for the night! The woman ended up calling 911, and emergency responders came to her rescue. That's certainly one way to find out whether your urgent care facility has good security. A 26-year-old California man named Jay Barr is facing charges after allegedly pulling off a bizarre airport stunt. He reportedly slipped through an access door, made his way onto the airport tarmac, and stole an airport tug, the type of vehicle used to move equipment and aircraft around. His joyride eventually came to an end when he crashed the thing. Apparently, some people just can't get through an airport without creating a major security incident. A pregnant influencer is also making headlines after sharing a complaint about a male flight attendant who refused to help her lift her carry-on bag into the overhead compartment. But here's the catch: Flight attendants are instructed not to lift passengers' luggage because doing so could lead to injuries. It's an awkward situation, especially for a pregnant passenger, but there's a reason airline employees are told to avoid playing luggage handler. And finally, the owner of a Brooklyn store called Art of Play says he and his employees have been dealing with harassment from Kelly Clarkson's fans. The shop owner has described the situation as a “reprehensible abuse of power” on Clarkson's part and claims the fallout has made life miserable for his staff. It's a reminder that when celebrity drama spills over into the real world, the people caught in the middle aren't always the ones who started it.

    Tuesday, Oct 13 - Let Me Check Your Prostrate

    Ethan talks about a new hospital program in Connecticut, but Lou thinks he needs to relax a little when it comes to all these doctor's appointments. In fact, Lou offers to perform a prostate exam for Ethan at half the price of a regular copay. What could possibly go wrong? A company called Nurtured Nuts has developed a new type of peanut butter that it's marketing as “allergy-free,” with plans to get it onto store shelves next year. There's just one little problem: The company says the product is not intended for people with allergies because it can't guarantee it's safe for them to eat. So, it's allergy-free peanut butter that people with allergies shouldn't eat. That sounds like a pretty important detail! The Raiders took another loss, leaving Lou absolutely miserable. To make matters worse, Patriots fans have been piling on and making sure he hears about it. Being a Raiders fan is hard enough without having to deal with New England fans celebrating your misery. Meanwhile, the movie Digger could be shaping up to be one of the biggest box-office flops of all time. Sources say the film is on track to lose a staggering $245 million. That's not just a bad weekend at the movies. That's a financial disaster of epic proportions! And finally, it was an absolutely wild back-and-forth battle on Monday Night Football between the Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams managed to tie the game with just four seconds remaining in regulation, setting up a dramatic finish. Overtime brought even more chaos, with Buffalo fumbling the ball and Los Angeles having a field goal attempt blocked. The Bills eventually got their own field goal through the uprights to seal the win after a game that had just about everything you could ask for.

    Friday, Oct 9 - Hijo De Fishman

    Connecticut breweries are having a rough time in 2026, and the list of closures continues to grow as the craft beer industry struggles. Meanwhile, McDonald’s has come up with a pretty unusual way to help runners during the Chicago Marathon. They’re handing out little shots of pickle juice! Apparently, pickle juice is packed with electrolytes and may help runners manage muscle cramps, so forget energy drinks. It's time to start chugging pickles! A U.S. citizen was stopped at Miami International Airport on Sunday after officers noticed an unusual bulge around his waist. And no, it wasn't what you think. Authorities discovered that the man had 10 live birds stuffed inside his underwear! He was arrested and charged with smuggling. That's one way to try to sneak something past airport security, although it's hard to imagine how he thought that plan was going to work out. Speaking of Miami International Airport, a United Airlines pilot recently had an unusual request for the control tower. He was communicating with air traffic control about something he and other pilots were keeping an eye out for. It wasn't bad weather or another aircraft. They were looking for a tiny kitten! And finally, the world of professional wrestling has suffered a tragic loss in Mexico. A wrestler was killed during a match after an opponent reportedly used an illegal move. What was supposed to be a sporting event turned deadly, serving as a devastating reminder of the risks involved when things go wrong inside the ring.

    Thursday, Oct 8 - I Go HAM on Tuna

    Lou reveals what he believes is the most objectionable food of all time, and Ethan shares a story about what could be next for Down the Hatch. The “most popular toy of the year” might be Butt Face. It’s a squishy doll-type toy named Chester Cheeks, and apparently tweens are absolutely loving it because, well, it looks like a butt and makes fart noises. Apparently, this is where we are as a society. An American Airlines flight traveling from Madrid, Spain, to Dallas had to divert to New York on Tuesday after all but TWO of the plane’s toilets stopped working. Nothing says “dream vacation” like being trapped on a transatlantic flight while desperately hoping one of the remaining toilets survives. We also had another “Karen” Alert after a woman walking her dog completely freaked out when she saw a mariachi band performing during a marriage proposal at a park in California. She reportedly yelled, “Go back to Mexico!” because apparently a mariachi band was enough to ruin her afternoon. Chipotle teamed up with the London Vegetable Orchestra for a very unusual musical collaboration. The group recorded a song called “From Ground to Sound” using actual musical instruments made from fresh vegetables. So yes, somewhere out there, someone is making music with a carrot. And finally, horror movie fans and collectors are going to have a chance to own a piece of movie history. Jack Nicholson’s iconic ax from The Shining will be one of the items going up for sale as part of a Stanley Kubrick auction. Hopefully, whoever buys it doesn't decide to redecorate the bathroom with it.
