The Hawk Morning Rave Podcast

Happy Friday! It was about time a Florida Man made it on the air this week, a great clip resurfaced of Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore trolling a hapless reporter from the BBC, some guy's parrot moonlights as David Lee Roth, and the upcoming season of The Bachelorette has been canceled! And since Rick was still out, Dave went unconventional and opened the phones and text line for any questions on your mind with an "Ask Me Anything!" 

It's our second hangover of the week. First it was St. Paddy's Day, now a brutal Lehigh basketball loss in the NCAA Tournament. But we made the best of it, on National Let's Laugh Day! A dog became an urban legend in rural Alabama, some grandpa failed at a Taco Bell prank, and we discovered the wonderful origin of the Nokia ringtone from back in the day! Plus, we hit the phones to hear who your first crush was from tv or film! 

It's National Hangover Day for those who partook in St. Paddy's Day a little too hard, and now the dawn of every basketball fan's favorite time of year - the NCAA tournament starts tonight with our very own Lehigh! And there's a new service for struggling basketball widows out there. A massive meteor crashed into Ohio yesterday, there's a clever thing to do with your St. Paddy's leftovers, a teacher is now infamous after her Zoom class, and we all shared our interesting celebrity encounters today! 

Happy St. Paddy's Day! Rick is out getting testing done in Philly, so Dave did all the celebrating and started things off with a bear who crashed a news report about him! You can still call into QVC shows and one woman did so unabashedly. Taco Tuesday didn't go as planned for one woman, we celebrated the Irish holiday and shared some dad jokes to boot, and went over the winners from this weekend's Razzie Awards, then nominated our own worst movies ever! 

Back in action on a rather gross Monday morning, where we heard about two ridiculous records that were just broken, a horse went berserk in a race over the weekend, we trolled Dave's wife, and handed out "Everybody Oscars!" There's some new health warnings for Wegovy users, and with it being a dreary Monday we hit the phones to hear what you dread most about going to work?! 

Happy Friday! Today we started things off with a hot cup of RFKoffee, with a side order of frambled eggs. We then found out Donny Osmond's balls got him in trouble, and Team USA hockey hero Jack Hughes still hasn't had his broken teeth fixed. Meta glasses could violate your privacy even worse than you thought, and we hit the phones to hear about your biggest waste of money! 

Today on the show we heard Gronk responding to Logan Paul's smack talk, some nutty guy in the UK pulled a vehicle in the worst way possible, snake yoga is taking off in Portland, and if you're trying to quit smoking we have something you may want to consider. Plus, it's Spring Break! And Dave has a new resident on his property under the deck...

Last night a massive new record was set in the NBA, but Dave was not all that impressed. The Rihanna shooter's social media has leaked and we found her threats aimed at Cardi B. Sharon Osbourne is planning a new Black Sabbath tour with a twist, the TSA released their annual list of the strangest things people attempted to take on a plane, and we hit the phones to hear the code words or phrases you and your partner use for sex! 

Today we started things off with a belligerent woman on a flight who paid the price for not keeping her videos quiet. The woman responsible for shooting at Rihanna's house is clearly not well, judging by her social media rants. The alleged murderer of a United Healthcare CEO is now being romanticized in a NYC musical, we read this week's Penny Power peeves, and hit the phones to hear about your most infamous argument with your kids! 

Back at it! Today we talked the overabundance of CEOs eating their fast food online, the outrageously priced tickets for the upcoming Springsteen tour, the disturbing trend of mothers feeding their babies butter, and we found a new beer for those too lazy to even change their clocks! We also talked the amount of scars we have and the crazy origin stories that led to them. 

Today we talked the former New York Yankee who just dominated the Texas GOP primary race for Congress, we found a guy who breaks down the weirdest laws by state - forcing us to do the same for Pennsylvania. Turns out far before artists like Beyonce and Post Malone went country, a classic rock band did the same! And we talked the agony of being added to a group text, and got your reactions for your own experience of being trapped in them! 

Today we started the show off by talking about the new digital basketball courts in the Big 12. Bone broth cocktails are the trendy new drink, conspiracies have been swirling online that Jim Carrey's been cloned, and a fun Roman discovery was just made. We celebrated National Grammar Day, and also tried to help a listener out with a wedding invite dilemma! 

Today yet another coffee study came out, some cops had to wrangle a beaver, movie prop money is not meant for bail, and McDonald's apparently can fix your migraines?! It's Tuesday, so we peered into the local Penny Power circular for peeves, and hit the phones to hear what people give you crap about! 

Back to work! Turns out it's Egg McMuffin Day, so grab yours for a buck if you're reading this in time. The new Pennsylvania licenses are becoming a costly problem for residents, a driver in Florida was falsely accused in a rather hilarious way, and NYC's subway system has fallen prey to advertisers. We also hit the phones to get your take on a dinner dilemma that took place over the weekend...

Happy Friday! Dave came in hot off his fundraising effort at TGI Fridays in Quakertown, we had a happy ending to that guy who almost had his vanity plate taken away, a couple in Pennsylvania had an unconventional fight, and Burger King and McDonald's are about to go at it as well. It appears you can eavesdrop on the cockpit on United flights, and we all shared that one bar from back in the day that's no longer with us that we miss so badly! 

Today we started the show with yet another celebrity who wants to take on Jake Paul in the ring. A travel influencer is grossing the internet out with her underwear cleaning hack. Some place in Texas is offering a drinking event for you and your dog! Dave is gonna be dining at TGI Fridays in Quakertown tonight to raise funds for St. Baldrick's in their fight against pediatric cancer, and we hit the phones to let you vent on what your partner won't stop buying! 

We had an abbreviated show today thanks to a massive power outage here at the station! But we got things back on track enough to sprinkle some content throughout the show. Some poor old guy is getting in trouble for his novelty license plate, scientists have discovered the world's oldest butthole, and Reese's has come under fire from lovers of the classic peanut butter cup and even the founder's grandson himself! 

Today we talked about the New York accent, which apparently is dying off. Robots have been going rogue everywhere! We discovered who the first Beatle was to try marijuana, another ridiculous emotional support animal made the news, and we shared our Penny Power peeves of the week! Oh, and a certain song set Rick off, so we shared the small things that are pure torture to us personally. 

We made it in through the overnight blizzard! The Olympics just wrapped up and America stole Canada's soul again on the ice. Dunkin is rolling out a new bucket of coffee, some dude stole an abulance with a patient still inside, and porn content creator Bonnie Blue is pregnant! Good luck figuring out the father there. And Murphy almost got blasted by a skunk over the weekend, so we hit the phones to hear your encounters! 

A whole lotta content packed into today's show.... we kicked things off with an upcoming girl fight, an Australian reporter was covering the Olympics while sloshed, Bon Scott's legacy is silver and gold, and RFK Jr. and Kid Rock have been working out together in a most ridiculous way. We crowned our "Asshat of the Week," talked oldschool words and phrases we still use, and had a surprise drop-in from A-TREAT! 

A wolfdog invaded the Olympics! A boss crashed out over employees adjusting the thermostat, the FAA has some bizarre policies, a beer pong game went very wrong for some teenager, and there's a new viral brand jingle! We also talked about the sounds that have traumatized us and continue to haunt us every time we hear them! 

Today we kicked things off with a kerfuffle flop, a couple ended up getting married in a funeral home, and "sleepcations" are taking off as a popular new twist to time off. Some couple made a shocking discovery in their new couch, networks and Hollywood just can't quit reboots, and we hit the phones to hear the one thing you REFUSE to ever try! 

Happy Fastnacht Day! Or should we also say Pancake Day? It's rather confusing. Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger was ambushed in a casino, some guy modified a porta-potty to be an ice fishing shack, and Wendy's is shuttering 300 restaurants nationwide. Rick discovered a podcast that recreated 1987 radio accurately, and we talked the goofy phrases and slang that naturally develops with a pet! 

Friday the 13th! Today we started the show with a little (painful) action on the slopes, some guy got stoned and ate all his wife's chocolates, we gave out some handy tips for Valentine's Day, heard about a woman who hit the hospital for a stomach bug only to find out she was pregnant, and hit the phones to hear your most romantic spot for a date in the Lehigh Valley! 

We started things off today by talking about a brawl that broke out at a pickleball match! The Kurt Cobain homicide theories are back in a big way, kids are now using AI to make fake IDs, and the medals keep breaking at the Olympics! ACE Hardware is suddenly in the pie business, and we got a listener email from a woman with a dilemma at work with a friend! 

Today we kicked things off by talking the big flag football game coming up in Saudi Arabia, yesterday's McDonald's caviar giveaway turned out to be a total bust, and smart underwear is now on the market! Some poor guy who is depressed about AI coming for all our jobs made a parody song about it, and we hit the phones to hear the one main thing you NEED your significant other for! 

Today on the show we talked the new extreme contact sport happening in Australia, McDonald's rolling out their own caviar, and "6-7" has been replaced by a newer and just-as-dumb phrase for Zoomers. JetBlue had quite an incident on the tarmac, we got back to paging through the Penny Power circular for the best peeves, and hit the phones for idea on who should replace the fallen giant ice cream statue in Coopersburg! 

Back after the Big Game and we recapped all the lack of excitement in it! Lindsey Vonn had another wipeout / injury at the Olympics, and apparently the USA has an old personal injury lawyer competing in curling! We dropped our first-ever music video over the weekend, and hit the phones to get your take on the Big Game Halftime Shows! 

Happy Friday! We found some wacky stories in our own state for once, Dave shared his favorite bets for the Big Game, and it's the official start of the Winter Olympics today! Remember the "Sham Wow Guy?" Well, he's running for Congress. And dared to go into the comments section today, and hit the phones to hear about the last time YOU left one! 

It's National Fart Day (really) and skier Lindsey Vonn is gassed about it, an ancient beer was found in Utah, some guy decided using a blowtorch to clean his snowy roof is regretting it, and gorillas went at it in a Belgian zoo! And with Coca-Cola ending their naming rights deal for the IronPigs stadium, we hit the phones for new names for the park! 

Today we had an assortment of rather gross topics, kicking things off with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and an unfortunate promise he made about winning the Super Bowl back in 2019. This was followed by a new beer made with the help of bear poop, iguana pizza in Florida, and a World War 1 artillery shell that ended up where the sun don't shine! We found another strange addiction, and hit the phones to hear your best intentioned plan for your kids that ended in disaster! 

Back in action, after the local rodent cursed us with 6 more weeks of winter. We found a crazy story about a homeless guy in Alabama, some dude who invented a flying umbrella, and they're gonna release yet another Fast & Furious movie! Rick ranted about Patti's shopping addiction again, but actually found a British woman who is much worse. And we hit the phones to hear the best stories about people who still owe you money! 

Happy Groundhog Day! We tracked Punxsutawney's infamous rodent all show (and disparaged his prediction record) and also debuted our highly anticipated soda jingle today! A-TREAT fans will definitely be getting thirsty after this pod. And the "Doomsday Clock" has moved closer to midnight, so we hit the phones to hear the outrageous things you would do if you knew the end of the world was imminent! 

Happy Friday! We tried to "motivate" people one day away from completing Dry January, a plow truck driver in Philly went viral, and TikTok users are attempting soda jingles. We got introduced to a woman who went viral for her cream cheese review (for all the wrong reasons) and had some fun with "Fill In The Blank Friday!" 

Today we discovered "Karens" may have been dethroned by a new name! There's a raw sewage problem in Washington DC, Applebee's has a new artery-busting burger, and Jeopardy got bent out of shape by a cuss word. A woman on social media has dating advice for guys fed up with dating apps, and we shared the band we used to be obsessed with, but fell out of love with over time.

Today we shared all kinds of things in the works for the upcoming Super Bowl, heard about the rather massive things changing for Southwest Airlines, flying taxis are set to hit the 2028 Olympics in LA, and we got a listener song about how freakin cold it's been! We also shared the most common thing we judge people for and hit the phones for the listeners to chime in...

Today we met a woman who can't stop eating hot glue, visited the Museum of Personal Failure, discovered a Lego / Crocs collab, and got emotional over the glut of billions of dollars of booze in the country! 

The gang is back together! Amazingly, Dave, Rick AND Nurse Patti were all in-studio for today's show. And there's a brewing conspiracy theory about the Super Bowl logo, a news anchor is regretting asking people for their measurements (saying snow would have been much safer), and the Dos Equis guy is back and much greyer! We also talked about the people who still wear shorts even in the bitter cold.

Happy Friday! Today Dave told the wild story of a bank that was broken into in New York, he gave an abbreviated "Pigskin Picks" for the Conference Championship games, the world's oldest snowball has been found, and in other related ball news a crazy occurrence happened at the current PGA tournament! Trees are apparently "exploding" from cold weather, and with the historic snow storm approaching, Dave reached out for advice on whether to get a generator or not and what people are doing to prepare! 

Continuing the theme of chaos for this week, Rick was back out again. His fever returned with a vengeance, so Dave rode solo and talked about his furnace dilemma yesterday, and an update on attempting to fix his oven himself!  A Florida man stuffed something ridiculous down his pants, William Shatner got the last laugh, and we got an update on Phil Collins' health. Poison will NOT be touring this summer, and you'll find out why. And Dave hit the phones to hear the thing you wish your spouse could quit! 

Rick still had a mild fever, but returned Tuesday morning to all sorts of chaos. Everything has been breaking for Dave since the start of the year and today his headphone jack in-studio died! Then his wife called. And some more major malfunctioned - their furnace. On the coldest morning of the year. So he went off to save his family as Rick talked the UberEats robot that met up with a train, the strange spotting of William Shatner in public, then he went live on-site to Dave from the crawlspace, trying to fix the furnace! 

We apologize for posting pods late, but this week has been insane! On Monday, Rick was out sick and Dave returned from MLK Day with new Peeps flavors that were announced. Some guy wrote a jingle to help his wife get hired, and Dave's kindergartener Will has reeeaaally been paying attention to his lessons on Martin Luther King. A certain celebrity just trademarked their catchphrase, plus Will (again) got caught over the weekend sneaking a very unconventional thing! 

We had a "Free-for-all Friday" taking your requests all show long, so not as much content as usual... BUT, Dave brought his "Pigskin Picks" for the Divisional Round in the NFL, we discovered the world's largest sock collection is close to home, handed out more gym tips, and heard about a hotel being planned for the moon within a decade! 

Yesterday there was nationwide panic, after mostly Verizon went down for nearly 10 hours! We continued our effort to help newbies at the gym, some indie rock singer married her dog, a couple got married in the middle of a Southwest flight, and Rick got hacked! 

Dunkin Donuts is trying desperately to cater to people with healthy New Year's Resolutions, we found out how to pick the sweetest oranges, decoded Gen Z slang, and gave advice for people who already failed at their resolutions! The Sumo Wrestling Championships is headed to the Big Apple and sumos need love too. Plus, we got another listener email! This time some solid advice was needed on an engagement ring dilemma...

The Wildcard round of the NFL playoffs wrapped up and Dave ended the night on a happy note. Some company is giving the gift of revenge for Valentine's Day, we played what not to do if you encounter an elk in the wild, some guy constructed a way to entertain other drivers while stuck, and we shared more gym etiquette for newbies. We also got back to reading our Penny Power peeves of the week, and hit the phones to hear what you've broken that belonged to a friend! 

Back to the grind after a devastating Eagles loss, first thing in the playoffs. We found a woman who prefers to snort her food, a brand new way to eat sushi, and with the gyms packed with Resolutionists we have an important reminder! Plus Rick had one hell of a commute to see Patti in the hospital, and we hit the phones to help ease his road rage! 

Football Friday! We kicked things off but hearing what AI is predicting for winners of the Big Game, Dave didn't forget his "Pigskin Picks" for the Wildcard Round of the playoffs this weekend, and there's a new product you may wanna buy if you're a dictator. Plus, we hit the phones to hear your most memorable stories from drinking with friends! 

Today we kicked things off with Dr. Oz, who is claiming drinking alcohol may not be as unhealthy as we think! A famous bar in Jersey had their beloved walrus penis stolen, some company is offering glasses they claim can help you communicate with animals, and the government apparently has a database that tracks weird things that went in through the out door! Royal Caribbean has a ridiculous new cruise ship, and we hit the phones to hear the best spots to post up in Wawa while waiting for your food! 

We're back, both in-person and online! Sorry for the absence of pods, we had technical issues then a couple weeks off. Rick returned today after an unforeseen emergency with Patti's health, and we talked everything from stupid holidays to a bad dad that went mega-viral this past week on X. In between, we heard a 911 call from Canada complaining about plow speeds, a vodka hack that's been rediscovered, and our favorite lawman from Florida was back with perhaps his silliest press conference yet! Enjoy...
