    What happens when two former radio personalities turn on the microphones with absolutely no script, no plan, and no filter? This episode of What the Florida?! goes completely off the rails—in the best possible way. Alan Knight and Trish Murray bounce from childhood memories of Photo Mats, Cracker Jack prizes, and Denny's at 3 a.m. to stories about radio careers, celebrity encounters, old concerts, Ambien adventures, shark attacks, sports heartbreak, and the increasingly strange state of modern society. Along the way, they discuss: • Why today's Cracker Jack prizes are a national disappointment• The biggest NBA comeback and the bet that got away• Growing up with radio, Adam-12, and elevator operators• Concert memories featuring Heart, Don Rickles, and Edwin McCain• Why Alan refuses to park his nice car in South Florida parking lots• Roller coasters, Jaws, and irrational fears• The mystery of the infamous "clacking balls" toy• Why manners seem to be disappearing—and whether they're making a comeback• Shark attacks in Florida waters• The dangers of Ambien Hour phone calls• Why Denny's remains a sacred institution after midnight As always, the conversation zigzags through nostalgia, current events, personal stories, and the uniquely bizarre moments that make you stop and say: "What the Florida?!"

    Ep. 2 - Ambien, Tarot Cards, and the Truth About Everything — A Late Night Spiral with Alan & Trish

    What happens when you FaceTime your co-host at 10:19 PM while on Ambien? Apparently, a full hour of tarot card readings, life confessions, and surprisingly deep conversations — and then you just keep going the next day on the podcast. In this episode, Alan Knight and Trish Murray do what they do best: absolutely nothing scripted. They kick things off with Alan's late-night Ambien adventures (including a true story involving a scraped bumper, a corner store, and zero memory of any of it), Trish's accidental jail stint courtesy of a narcissist ex, and somehow end up covering Miss Cleo, Wolf of Wall Street, Disney World, and the smell of a brand new Honda Accord ruined by a gyro-eating brother. But don't let the chaos fool you — this episode gets real. Alan and Trish dive into media propaganda, the Joe Rogan effect on elections, COVID vaccines, and why they don't believe much of what they're told anymore. Plus: AI-generated musicians, the dying art of radio, mixtapes, and a Range Rover story involving Trish's son that you will not forget. It's South Florida unfiltered. No script, no filter, no apologies. 📞 Call or leave a message: 954-294-0774 for a chance to win a gift card to Mississippi Sweets Barbecue in Boca Raton.

    The Longest Promo in Podcasting History - What the Florida???

    Your Pal Al is Yesterday's news!!  Welcome to the show nobody asked for but everybody needed. Alan Knight and Trish "the Dish" Murray kick off WTF: What the Florida? with the most chaotic, unfiltered, and frankly unhinged debut promo in podcast history — and they wouldn't have it any other way. In this inaugural episode, the dynamic duo introduces themselves, their friendship, and their mission: to make sense of the glorious madness that is the Sunshine State. From pirate women kayaking through mall fountains to Guy Fieri's Singer Island address, Florida never disappoints — and neither do these two. Along the way, expect runaway earrings, a spirited debate about lingerie, Cheeto-related games of chance, a dating site concept exclusively for Florida's finest unhinged singles, and more chemistry than a high school lab explosion. If this promo is any indication, the actual show is going to be absolutely unhinged — and completely unmissable. 📞 Got questions, comments, or complaints? Call 954-294-0774🎙️ Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts No holds barred. No restrictions. No earrings left behind.

    Your Pal Al Ep. 5 - Where Did We Lose It?

    Al's back for episode five and he's got a lot on his mind. This week he's sounding off on the slow disappearance of mutual respect in America — from people who can't put down their shrimp long enough for the national anthem, to friends who are too afraid to disagree on politics without ending the friendship. A call from fellow podcaster Richard Marks of Mixed Nuts Nation turns into a lively debate on civility, generational decline, and whether we've all just lost the plot. Then Al does something no podcast has ever done quite like this — he calls his 89-year-old mom live on air just to see what she had for dinner and lock in Sunday bagels and lox. Equal parts rant, philosophy, and genuine heart, episode five is Al at his most Al. Leave him a message, suggest a topic, or volunteer to be a guest: 954-294-0774.

Broadcasting live from South Florida — where stop signs are just suggestions.

    Your Pal Al Ep. 3 - Issues, Tissues & The State of the Union

    Al flies solo this episode, and his brain is running at full speed. Starting with a simple conversation about whether friends can disagree on politics without destroying the friendship, Al spirals — in the best way — through patriotism, the Pledge of Allegiance, the State of the Union, people eating shrimp during the national anthem at a Florida Panthers game, and the college students who gave their opinions on a presidential address the day before it happened.Midway through, he gets a surprise call-in from Richard Marks of the Mixed Nuts Nation podcast, who opens with a joke so bad his own wife told him not to use it. They manage to find some common ground on civility, the greatest generation, and what gets lost when trust stops passing between generations.Al also tackles honesty, lies, broken hearts, the superpower he actually wants (hint: it's not flying), and the story of a little girl who prayed for a bicycle and got the most unexpectedly wise answer of all time.And yes — he calls his mom. Fish, okra, salad, and ice cream. Sunday plans for bagels and lox. The usual. The irreplaceable.More questions than answers, more heart than he'll admit.

    Your Pal Al Ep. 2 - Radio Days with Trish Murray

    Al Knight is joined in studio by a familiar voice from South Florida radio royalty — Trish Murray, longtime air personality at Sunny 104.3, News Channel 5, and now owner of both a real estate company and a regenerative medicine practice. The two pick up right where they left off decades ago, like no time has passed at all.In this episode, Al and Trish reminisce about the golden age of broadcast radio in West Palm Beach, the late-night love song shows, and the wild personalities that made it all work — including a surprise phone call from their legendary former program director, Les Jacoby, who was named PD of the Year in the country. They debate the two-gender dropdown box at the doctor's office, marvel at RFK Jr.'s abs, and get surprisingly deep on why podcasting — not mainstream media — is where real conversations are happening now.Trish drops some astrology wisdom about a once-in-250-years planetary alignment, opens up about a 15-year relationship that went down in flames, and somehow still manages to end the whole thing on a positive note. Al, as always, calls his mom.Two radio dinosaurs. Zero filters. One very good time.

    Your Pal Al Ep. 1 - Movie Theaters, Memories, and Mom

    Al Knight kicks off his very first episode of Your Pal Al with the kind of rambling, heartfelt honesty that'll make you feel like you've known him for years. A 62-year-old South Florida radio veteran with nearly four decades behind the mic, Al uses this podcast as his therapy — and yours. This week, he takes a trip down memory lane to the golden age of movie theaters: one screen, a thousand seats, sticky floors, and a tub of popcorn gone before the opening credits. He reflects on what we've lost in the age of streaming, cell phones, and 27-screen multiplexes where nothing's worth seeing. Along the way, Al shares the story of his first movie (Bedknobs and Broomsticks, 1971), riffs on stepfather Ivan the Terrible, makes the case for professional jurors, and reminds us why the small moments — like calling your 89-year-old mom while she's brushing her teeth — are the ones worth holding onto. Equal parts nostalgia, comedy, and genuine warmth, Your Pal Al is the podcast for anyone who's ever thought, "at least I'm not him" — and meant it as a compliment.
