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!

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.

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we talked the new extreme contact sport happening in Australia, McDonald's rolling out their own caviar, and "6-7" has been replaced by a newer and just-as-dumb phrase for Zoomers.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!

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!

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!

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!

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...

Back in action on a Monday morning and today we talked about a very bad beat that Barstool's Dave Portnoy and anyone else on the Broncos suffered. A woman made quite a splash while thrifting, a kid went viral for his shower song, and we discovered a guy who adds sax to songs. Speaking of songs, we did our best to make "6-7" as uncool as possible, and we hit the phones to see if people would ever watch video of themselves being born!
