    Friday, Sep 25 - The Trash of Mt. Everest

    The guys discover that Mount Everest is apparently not the pristine, untouched landscape they always imagined. It turns out there is an absolutely massive amount of trash sitting on the mountain, meaning even one of the most remote places on Earth has somehow become a dumping ground. Finster checks in live from Michigan as the I-95 “50 Series” continues. With I-95 officially turning 50 on December 24, 2026, the boys are reconnecting with former personalities and digging into the station’s history, old stories and behind-the-scenes memories. A United Airlines flight got extremely uncomfortable when a man allegedly refused to stop pleasuring himself during a flight from Rochester, New York. We’ll get into what happened and how the airline and other passengers dealt with the situation. A former 7-Eleven in the Seattle area has received a very strange makeover. It has been transformed into an “INCONVENIENCE STORE,” which is apparently an art experience dedicated to making everyday life more annoying. Think intentionally tangled USB cords and other objects designed to test your patience. Meanwhile, eBay sellers have apparently decided that fused Goldfish cracker clusters are luxury collectibles. Some of these bizarre cracker clumps are being listed for thousands of dollars, with one alleged “ultra-rare” six-cracker cluster carrying an absolutely ridiculous $25,000 asking price. Somewhere, a kid is eating a handful of Goldfish while unknowingly destroying a fortune. Check out Nicolas Cage as John Madden in the trailer for the upcoming movie Madden. The film also stars Christian Bale as Al Davis, along with Kathryn Hahn, Sienna Miller, John Mulaney and Shane Gillis. It hits select theaters November 11 and arrives on Prime Video November 18. Lou is not a fan of Nicolas Cage being involved, and he is making sure everyone knows about it. George Strait is featured in Wrangler’s latest ad, and somehow the guy still looks pretty damn good. During halftime of Thursday Night Football in Green Bay, the Packers honored past Super Bowl winners, including some of the original champions from Super Bowl I. Al Michaels joked that he was so old, he was actually there. The White Sox also clinched a playoff spot after suffering through three consecutive 100-loss seasons. Munetaka Murakami had an absolutely insane interview following the big win.

    (50 Series) - Finster

    The boys reconnect with former I-95 personality Finster as the “50 Series” continues, giving the show another chance to dig into the station’s past and reconnect with some familiar voices. The 50 Series is all about bringing former I-95 personalities back to the show for conversations about their time at the station, old stories, memorable characters and whatever else comes up when you put a bunch of former radio people back on the phone together. These conversations will continue between now and December 24, 2026, when I-95 officially celebrates its 50th anniversary. Finster, whose real name is Sean Finnegan, was part of the I-95 family from 2001 to 2006, and he has plenty of history with the station. In fact, the I-95 archives describe a time when the station had an unusually large collection of morning-show personalities under the same roof, including Finster, Ethan, Omelette and Lou. This time around, Finster called into the show live from Michigan, where he is still doing what he does best — radio. He currently co-hosts a show with another former I-95 personality, Omelette, which makes this reunion feel even more like an I-95 family get-together, just with a few hundred miles between the studios. It’s pretty wild to think about how many people have passed through the halls of I-95 over the years. Some stayed for decades, some moved on to other markets and others ended up doing radio in places you probably wouldn't expect. As the station approaches its 50th birthday, the 50 Series gives the boys a chance to reconnect with some of those people and, hopefully, uncover a few stories that have been buried in the I-95 vault for a long time. And if Finster and Omelette are any indication, there are probably plenty of stories left to tell.

    Thursday, Sep 24 - The Special Episode of Different Strokes

    Lou brings up the infamous “special” episode of Diff’rent Strokes from the ’80s, and somehow that one reference is enough to send an entire generation of sitcom viewers straight down memory lane. Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves joins the boys in the studio for another edition of “Ask the Mayor,” and this time he reveals his three favorite U.S. Presidents of all time. A 43-year-old DUI suspect in Virginia apparently tried a very unusual strategy to beat a breathalyzer test: drinking toilet water. And not just any toilet water — the water came from a toilet she had actually used while at the jail. Needless to say, the plan did not work. Erin Hoopes was ultimately charged with DUI and hit-and-run. If you’re heading to an Islanders game this season, you may have the opportunity to try a grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with Nerds clusters. Yes, Nerds. Apparently, combining candy and grilled cheese is a thing, and we're going to have to decide whether this is genius or a cry for help. GLP-1 patients are reporting some potentially serious side effects, including reports of permanent eye damage and vision loss. We’ll take a look at what’s being reported and what you should know. Meanwhile, influencer Frankie LaPenna stepped into what’s being called the first human-versus-robot fight and found out the hard way that remote-controlled humanoid robots apparently don't care about your follower count. LaPenna took a pretty serious beating in the ring. And there’s some sad news for fans of ’80s music. Pete Byrne, the lead singer of Naked Eyes, has died at 74 after a brief illness. Byrne died September 14 in Los Angeles and was best known for the band’s hit “Always Something There to Remind Me.” Finally, Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is officially done for the regular season after suffering a serious knee injury. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Dart will miss the remainder of the regular season, with Jameis Winston taking over at quarterback.

    Wednesday, Sep 23 - Utah, Get me Two!

    Are Amazon delivery drones coming to Connecticut? It certainly looks like that could be happening, although the drone delivery program hasn't exactly been going smoothly in one Texas suburb. The boys take a look at what's going on and whether Connecticut could be next. New York has unveiled its new “robo-toilets,” which are basically fancy, high-tech porta-potties that anyone can use for free. Sounds great, right? Well, there is one very important rule you need to know about before getting too comfortable. There’s a strict 10-minute time limit, and when your time is up, the door automatically swings open. So maybe don't try to turn it into your personal office. Former Pitt quarterback Phil Jurkovec was arrested last Friday after allegedly stealing a box truck from Allegheny Health Network’s Wexford Hospital. The boys break down what happened and how someone goes from the football field to allegedly taking a hospital box truck. It's also National Go With Your Gut Day, so naturally the boys discuss whether you should actually trust your instincts. Do you have a gut feeling about something that turned out to be completely correct? A man went viral after filming himself picking up a DoorDash order at the scene of a crash involving the delivery driver who was supposed to bring him his food. Talk about being committed to getting your dinner. A Long Island woman had a terrifying birthday after she suddenly fell about eight feet into a sinkhole that opened up in her backyard. She couldn't get herself out, but thankfully her neighbors heard her screams and called 911. There's also a new documentary about the late Norm Macdonald coming to Netflix, giving fans a chance to revisit the comedian's life and career. And finally, do you have any regrets? A new survey says 22% of Americans claim they have none. Lou, on the other hand, apparently has enough regrets for the entire country.

    (50 Series) - Andy Atkinson

    As I-95 gets ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary on December 24th, the boys are welcoming back some familiar faces from the station’s past. The “50 Series” features in-depth conversations with I-95 alumni, giving them a chance to look back at the old days, share some of their favorite memories and tell the behind-the-scenes stories that listeners may have never heard. The series is all about celebrating the people who helped make I-95 what it is today, while taking a trip down memory lane and revisiting some of the characters and moments that shaped the station over the years. The first guest to join the boys for the “50 Series” was former I-95 employee Andy Atkinson, who sat down to talk about his time at the station and share some stories from the old days.

    Tuesday, Sep 22 - Tutankhamun’s Tomb

    The boys have some exciting news from archaeologists about King Tutankhamun’s tomb, including the latest developments surrounding the possibility of undiscovered chambers. If Ethan, Lou and Dave decided to go with a group Halloween costume this year, what should they dress up as? Lou has already made his ruling: Robin Hood, Little John and Friar Tuck. Ethan, however, strongly disagrees with Lou’s choice, and the debate heads straight to the listeners for a ruling. The studio also gets into one of those weirdly specific topics that somehow turns into a full-blown conversation: sneezing. The boys discuss whether they actually enjoy sneezing, hate it, or simply tolerate it because their bodies have apparently decided it’s necessary. The listeners weigh in as well, revealing where they stand on one of the most universally experienced but rarely discussed bodily functions. Former I-95 employee Andy Atkinson joins the show for another installment of the “50 Series.” These are special conversations with I-95 alumni as the station looks back at the people, stories and memories that helped shape the station over the years. The series is leading up to I-95’s 50th anniversary on December 24, 2026. Meanwhile, recruiters are warning that young job applicants are bringing a very bizarre item with them to job interviews, and apparently it could be hurting their chances of getting hired. The boys break down what it is and why employers aren't exactly thrilled to see it. And if you ever wondered what happened to stunt man Cliff Booth after the events of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” we finally have an answer. The trailer for Brad Pitt’s return as Cliff Booth is out for “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth,” giving fans a look at what the character has been up to since we last saw him.

    Monday, Sep 21 - 2-0

    The Raiders beat the Chargers to move to 2-0 on the season, and Lou is absolutely losing his mind over it. Dave runs down the latest health code violations involving restaurants and shops around Waterbury, giving us another chance to find out which local establishments apparently need to have a serious conversation with their refrigerators. A woman believes the grocery store she shops at is scamming her, and it all comes down to that seemingly harmless “cash back” button that pops up during checkout. An “influencer” is also traveling around the country visiting colleges in an attempt to determine which school deserves to be called the “top party school.” Because apparently this is a job now. Fashion CEO Steven Kolb has resigned after reportedly physically holding down and tackling multiple PETA protesters during a fashion show in New York City. The protesters were demonstrating against the use of wool in fashion. For one very confusing moment on Thursday, a Google search result listed Billy Joel as dead. Google later issued a retraction, while Billy’s publicist quickly put the rumors to rest, saying, “Billy’s not dead. I was just emailing with him.” So, just to be completely clear, Billy Joel is NOT dead. An A.I. actress named Tilly Norwood also experienced a pretty significant glitch during an interview with Piers Morgan. Actor Tom Conti asked her a question, and instead of answering in English, she suddenly started speaking Cantonese. And finally, a 48-year-old father of three just made his college football debut. His name is Justin Buzzard, and he's a defensive lineman for San Jose City College in California. Justin had dreamed of playing college football years ago at Whitworth College in Washington, but injuries prevented him from ever seeing the field. When an opportunity finally opened up, he decided to give it another shot. Justin put in the work, got himself into football shape, and at 48 years old, finally got to live out that college football dream.

    Friday, Sep 18 - Ethan Runs with Scissors

    Lou convinces Ethan to “scissor” with the listeners during his upcoming live broadcast, because apparently that’s what passes for a good idea around here. The boys also take a trip down memory lane, talking about some of their favorite childhood toys while checking out the nominees for the National Toy Hall of Fame’s 2026 class. It’s a good excuse to remember the toys we couldn't live without as kids and wonder how some of them somehow survived being abused by us. Have you ever tried to explain baseball to someone who has absolutely no idea what’s happening? Actor Richie Moriarty may have come up with the perfect way to demonstrate what baseball sounds like to a non-baseball watcher. He delivered an entire baseball announcer-style performance using nothing but complete gibberish, and somehow it still sounds exactly like a baseball broadcast. A 50-year-old Florida man who says he spent decades dealing with severe psoriasis claims an extreme “lion diet” dramatically changed his life. His current diet reportedly consists almost entirely of grass-fed ground beef and steak. Naturally, the boys have some questions. The National Toy Hall of Fame has also announced its finalists for the 2026 class, including Mouse Trap, Pokémon Cards, Tickle Me Elmo and several other familiar favorites. Meanwhile, Lenny Kravitz is officially getting the Ken doll treatment. He’s only the second man in history to receive his own Ken doll, which is part of the Barbie Signature Kenbassadors Collection. The $70 doll is modeled after one of Kravitz’s recent tour looks. And if you're heading into New York City for the holidays, an immersive “Elf” experience is coming to Rockefeller Center, where guests can meet one of Santa’s helpers, step into Papa Elf’s storybook and make their way all the way to the North Pole.

    Thursday, Sep 17 - Nick Scopoletti/Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves

    The boys welcome hilarious stand-up comedian Nick Scopoletti into the studio as he gets ready for his Connecticut gigs this weekend and next. Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves also stops by the studio for another edition of Ask the Mayor, where the gang hits him with questions from listeners. The Trinidad Police Department in Texas has been shut down following multiple alleged violations, including the bizarre case of a mother who was reportedly arrested after posting a photo on Facebook showing the town’s dirty drinking water. A woman claims she lost out on a job following an interview because of something that sounds almost too ridiculous to be true — she says she had a massive pimple on her lip at the time. There’s also some big news for Tom Petty fans, with a new box set on the way featuring unreleased material, his first two albums and plenty of additional music from the early days of the band. And if you missed the livestream of Ozzy Osbourne’s final concert, you’re getting another chance to see it on the big screen. “Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning” is coming to theaters October 28th, giving fans the opportunity to experience the legendary farewell concert in theaters.
