    Thursday, Aug 13 - Rubenesque

    Lou says he absolutely cannot stand John Cena, and that statement immediately divided the audience. Some people agreed with Lou, while others seemed genuinely offended that anyone could have a problem with the former WWE superstar. Meanwhile, Ethan texted the boys to let them know he ended up in the ER while on vacation. The good news is that we know Ethan is OK. The bad news? Ethan still refuses to actually follow up and find out what happened or, more importantly, what his official diagnosis was. At this point, we're assuming it was either nothing serious or possibly just heartburn. Either way, we'd really like to know what the doctors actually told him. UCONN in Storrs was also in the news after being named the 14th best college campus environment in the United States. Not too shabby for Connecticut. Ever played a video game and thought, "There is NO WAY this is fair"? Well, you might have been onto something. The lead designer and programmer of the classic arcade basketball game NBA Jam admitted that he actually altered the game to give his favorite team a little extra help. So if you ever felt like the computer was conspiring against you, you may have had a point. Universal Studios Hollywood is also adding a sound barrier near its newest roller coaster, Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift. Apparently, the ride is just a little too loud for people living in the surrounding neighborhoods. Residents have reportedly complained that the screams from the coaster can sound like people yelling "bloody murder," which is probably not the ideal soundtrack when you live next to an amusement park. And before we reveal which album cover Ultimate Classic Rock named the greatest of all time, we want to know what YOU would pick. Their choice? The Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers. The iconic 1971 album cover was designed by Andy Warhol and is famous for featuring a real, working zipper. Yes, an actual zipper was attached to the original album covers by hand. And when you opened it, the inner sleeve revealed a pair of white briefs. So, essentially, the Rolling Stones once made an album cover that was also a tiny pair of pants.

    Wednesday, Aug 12 - Connecticut Babies are Healthier Than Other Dumb Babies

    A new study says Connecticut babies are getting a healthier head start when it comes to nutrition. Meanwhile, Wegmans is making a big impact on the Norwalk grocery store scene, and the competition is starting to heat up for the other supermarket chains in town. Lou continues his ongoing search for love in prison, because apparently that's where we're at now. And if you're a middle child, today is your day. It's National Middle Child Day, so take a moment to enjoy being overlooked and blamed for things you probably didn't do. The Pentagon has released another batch of UFO files, and this time, we're getting video of what appears to be an orb racing over neighborhoods. A new survey found that 33% of people admit they've stayed quiet when a cashier accidentally failed to ring up an item at checkout. Even more interesting, 30% of Americans say they've shoplifted at some point. Apparently, honesty has a price—and sometimes it's whatever happens to be sitting in your shopping cart. An American Airlines plane had flames shooting from its engine after hitting birds during takeoff on Monday. Fortunately, the aircraft was able to return safely. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has released a new song dedicated to his daughters called "Your Dad." He's apparently interested in exploring a music career, with plans to make old-school soul music with a little country flavor mixed in. And finally, Netflix has released the teaser for "Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story," the latest true-crime-inspired series to bring one of America's most infamous murder cases back into the spotlight.

    Tuesday, Aug 11 - Love During Lockup

    Lou steals George Costanza's idea and decides to find love in the nation's correctional facilities. Milano is a complete virgin to the prison-dating experience, so he learns what it takes in real time during the show, with some hilarious results. A guy has to help direct his very excited wife in the right direction as she attempts to hump a rainbow in front of their kid. The problem? Even though she had seen which way the rainbow was facing just moments earlier, her excitement got the best of her, and she hilariously started humping a bush in the wrong direction. North Haven, Connecticut, was just named one of the most desirable ZIP codes in the entire country. A Houston man is also in trouble after allegedly threatening the Governor's Office over a law he claims prevented him from watching anime. Joseph Roy Ozment allegedly made the threats after new decency laws reportedly made it more difficult for him to access the anime streaming service Crunchyroll. Two McDonald's employees in Ohio got married at a McDonald's over the weekend, proving that sometimes you really can have it your way. And Jimmy Fallon had the QVC host who accidentally dropped the letters "[B.J.]" on live television as a guest on his show last night.

    Monday, Aug 10 - I Live in the Baja

    Lou recaps his weekend, including an unexpected encounter with a British I-95 Morning Show fan at the Sugar Hollow Tap Room on Saturday. Lou also spent part of the weekend broadcasting live from the Greater New Milford Open at Candlewood Valley Country Club. A group of podcast hosts were absolutely floored by an incredibly robotic impression of Stephen Hawking that was performed entirely using someone’s voice during a game of “Is This Offensive?” The impression was apparently so bizarrely accurate that it completely stopped the game in its tracks. There’s also a viral TikTok making the rounds in which a couple claims that Shake Shack appears to be charging customers more for certain menu items if they choose not to leave a tip. Shake Shack says that is NOT its policy and says the company is investigating what happened at that particular location. So, for now, it appears to be either a mistake or something specific to that restaurant rather than an official Shake Shack policy. A man and a woman recently wanted to go out to a restaurant, but they ran into a problem when they discovered the restaurant had a dress code prohibiting men from wearing sleeveless shirts. Rather than give up on dinner, they went back out to the parking lot, switched shirts, and walked right back in. Problem solved. Sometimes you just have to work with what you’ve got. A woman in Wisconsin has been arrested after allegedly stealing an ambulance pickup truck and taking it for a drive while completely naked. There are a lot of questions here, but the biggest one might be: Why was she naked in the first place? Britney Spears also took to Instagram to warn her fans about Botox after she says she recently had a bad experience with the cosmetic treatment. Britney claims the procedure caused some disfigurement to her face and shared the experience with her followers as a warning to be careful when choosing who performs the treatment. Meanwhile, The Cure’s Robert Smith has topped a ranking of the greatest New Wave singers. Smith took the number one spot, followed by David Byrne of Talking Heads at number two and Blondie’s Debbie Harry at number three. That’s a pretty impressive top three, although I’m sure there are plenty of New Wave fans who would have a few arguments about the order. And finally, a former Wendy’s manager on Cape Cod is headed to Yale University on a full scholarship. The student was able to attend community college with financial help from the owners of the Wendy’s where he worked, and that support ultimately helped put him on the path to Yale. It’s a pretty great reminder that sometimes a little help from the right people can completely change someone’s future.

    Friday, Aug 7 - Live, Laugh, Lisa - Part 3 - Lisa Lampanelli Live In-Studio

    Former comedian turned life coach Lisa Lampanelli joined the boys in-studio for another edition of “Live, Laugh, Lisa.” Lisa took questions and concerns from listeners and helped break their problems down into smaller, more manageable pieces. Everything from relationships and self-confidence to figuring out how to deal with the people in our lives came up, and Lisa had plenty of honest advice. Meanwhile, there’s a new robot brewery in Connecticut, and Lou is already making it clear that he is NOT a fan. Apparently, we’ve reached the point where even our beer is being made by robots. The question is, if a robot pours you a beer, does it still count as having a bartender? There was also a hilarious and awkward moment on QVC when a woman was talking about a hairpiece and accidentally used a word that sounded a lot more like a sexual term than the “blowout” she was apparently trying to describe. Once the wrong word came out, there was really no recovering from it. And then there was a very strange moment in New Zealand. A politician accidentally joined a video meeting from a bathroom, and, just to make the situation even more awkward, there was a pair of underwear hanging up and drying in the background. Nothing says “professional political meeting” quite like realizing halfway through that your laundry is making a surprise appearance. Before his recent breakdown, Perez Hilton was apparently trying to make amends with some of the celebrities he had been particularly hard on during his years as a celebrity blogger. He reached out to people including Britney Spears, Khloe Kardashian, and Neil Patrick Harris, among others, in an apparent effort to apologize and make peace for some of the things he had written about them in the past. And finally, women on the internet are apparently losing their minds over Alexander Skarsgård’s appearance as a very sexy wicker man in the upcoming movie “Wicker.” The reaction has been... enthusiastic. One woman summed up the internet's response perfectly, saying, quote, “I’ve never been so horny for a basket before.” I suppose that answers the question of whether there’s anything Alexander Skarsgård can’t make sexy.

    Thursday, Aug 6 - Hell in a Handbasket

    Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves joined us for another edition of "Ask the Mayor," where he discussed the proposed city charter revision, shared updates on the ongoing effort to improve Danbury's roads, and talked about what's ahead for the city. New Milford native and stand-up comedian Joe DeVito also checked in before his upcoming headlining performance at Candlewood Valley Country Club. We talked about his career, his return to Connecticut, and what fans can expect from the show. In odd news, a man and his family set a new world record by clearing a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos in less than four seconds using all four players. It's one of those records you never knew existed until someone broke it. A rider on the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia had a wild experience when he was hit in the face by a shoe that flew off another passenger. Amazingly, he caught the shoe in midair and was able to return it to its owner after the ride. Even better, the entire moment was captured on camera. Charlie Sheen is getting into podcasting with a new weekly show called "Mostly Sheenius," where he'll sit down with celebrity guests for conversations and interviews. There's no official premiere date yet, and his guest lineup is still under wraps. We also talked about a new documentary revisiting one of television's strangest ideas. Back in 2006, O.J. Simpson attempted a comeback with a hidden-camera prank series called "Juiced." The documentary explores why the project was so controversial and suggests there may have been an ulterior motive behind the show's creation.

    Wednesday, Aug 5 - Shallow Grave by a River

    A piece of a SpaceX rocket booster slammed into the moon early this morning, creating a massive dust cloud on the lunar surface. Astronomers are now pointing their telescopes toward the impact site, hoping to learn more about what lies beneath the moon’s surface. Happy National Underwear Day! And apparently, some people are celebrating in unusual ways. A 28-year-old Canadian woman was pulled over in Florida and allegedly gave officers a fake name. She claimed she didn’t have her driver’s license, but police discovered she had 12 different IDs in her vehicle — all featuring her picture but with different names and dates of birth. Speaking of Florida, a steakhouse there is offering a once-a-month nude dining experience. The unusual meal comes with a hefty price tag: $250 for men, $150 for women, and $300 for couples. A small plane pilot and a student pilot had a scary moment when they were forced to make an emergency landing on a Florida highway after the aircraft experienced engine trouble. Luckily, both were able to get down safely without serious injuries. And finally, a father and son in Texas have turned a simple game of catch into an incredible year-long tradition. Reid and his 10-year-old son, Colby, set a goal to throw a baseball back and forth every single day for 365 straight days. What started as a simple bonding activity became a daily reminder to spend time together and create memories.

    Tuesday, Aug 4 - Girl Scout Militia Rushes Ethan's House

    The 10th Annual Dog Surfing Championship in Pacifica, California, drew crowds with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Even with a high surf warning, no issues occurred, and the canine champions were crowned in each size category. Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! A man in Pennsylvania posted a video about his IHOP pancake problem. (You can see through every hole in the pancake. At a screening of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" in Colombia, a whole theater, including a dude in a Spider-Man costume, evacuated because someone in the audience had an extreme flatulence attack. The screening didn't get officially canceled, but everyone left before the end credits because it smelled so bad. When Carrie Zirbes and her husband were told they were expecting twins, they were already parents to three children. Then doctors revealed they weren't just having identical twins. They were expecting an extraordinarily rare set of monoamniotic, or "mono mono", twins.

    Monday, Aug 3 - Tossed Salad

    Connecticut has officially landed on a new list, and it's definitely one of the more unusual rankings you'll see this year. A new study named the Nutmeg State one of the Top 10 kinkiest states in America. There's also a bizarre Zillow listing making the rounds online. The home doesn't include any interior photos, and the description warns, "DO NOT DISTURB THE OCCUPANTS." It also says the buyer will be responsible for removing the people currently living there. It sounds like the setup for a horror movie, but according to reports, it's actually tied to a woman who's fighting to save her home. Apparently, a lot of people have no idea what the letters CVS actually stand for. Do you know the answer? A Florida man named James Tidwell is accused of stealing power tools, and when deputies arrested him, he was reportedly dressed as Superman. Authorities say he's now facing felony burglary and theft charges. Even superheroes can't outrun the law. BuzzFeed rounded up some of the worst advice people say they've received from Baby Boomers. A few gems include, "Just stop going to the movies and you'll be able to buy a house," "Walk into a business, hand the manager your resume, and you'll get hired," and, "Find someone you can tolerate, start a family, and you'll eventually fall in love." Workers in Canada have started the unpleasant task of removing thousands of gallons of rotting fish sauce from a factory that was abandoned more than two decades ago. If you can smell this story through the radio, you have a better nose than I do. And finally, a West Virginia man is accused of stealing about $17,000 worth of Little Debbie snack cakes. According to authorities, he was caught trying to sell the snacks at a local flea market. Oh, and if you've ever thought you could beat Jonah Hill in a fight, you might want to think again. The actor says he's trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and probably wouldn't be the easy opponent people assume.

    Friday, Jul 31 - Wildlife with Jen the Zookeeper

    Jen the Zookeeper stops by the studio to talk about Connecticut's rapidly growing bear population and why we're seeing so many more bear encounters across the state. A man in Voluntown, Connecticut claims he came face-to-face with Bigfoot earlier this month. We'll tell you what he says happened. A creepy video of a robotic mouth has gone viral. Instead of looking human, it resembles some kind of strange fish. The device uses an air pump as lungs, a silicone tongue, and eight artificial vocal cords to physically recreate human speech. If you're planning a tropical getaway, you might want to brace yourself. This year's tourism season in Mexico and the Caribbean is being impacted by record-breaking amounts of seaweed. Experts say more than 119,000 tons could wash up on beaches this year. Researchers studying marmots have launched an OnlyFans account to help fund their work after traditional funding started drying up. Don't worry—it's all wildlife content. A few weeks ago, Aldi introduced a box containing just four oversized gourmet ice cubes for $4.99. The internet roasted the idea, and apparently shoppers weren't buying either. Aldi has now cut the price in half to $2.49. Here's a fun blast from the past: Taco Bell actually released a music album in 1994. It was called "Do Something Alternative" and featured several alternative rock artists. Actress Donna Mills, now 85 years old, is joining OnlyFans. She says the platform will let fans see "the real me... the good hair days, the bad hair days, and everything in between." We'll also revisit one of her old Aqua Net commercials from nearly 40 years ago. And if you grew up in the '90s, you'll love this: Alicia Silverstone is officially returning as Cher for a "Clueless" sequel series coming to Paramount+.
