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!

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!

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...

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!

Today we kicked things off with a creep who called into to another morning show, an executive at Campbell's is under fire for speaking ill of their product and customers, Vince Off (the "ShamWow Guy") is running for office, and we hit the phones to hear how you screwed up at work! 

Our favorite lawman was back today, Foreigner front man Lou Gramm called us up to talk about their current tour, we found one of the most unique 911 calls of all time, and hit the phones to hear what WON'T be on your plate this Thanksgiving! 

Happy Friday! Decorations is one thing, but a new study says Christmas music too early can lead to a decline in mental health. Dave shared his "Pigskin Picks" for Week 12 in the NFL, we crowned our "Asshat of the Week," and hit the phones for "Fill In The Blank Friday" (that's a lot of quotation marks)! 

Today we kicked things off with every beer ever mentioned in country music, we found perhaps the most drunken guy ever busted for a DUI, and discovered Heinz is rolling out "Leftover Gravy" for Thanksgiving. Speaking of the holiday, we got the average cost to feed a family of 10 this year. GameStop is rolling out an odd promotion, and we played the TikTok dad who claims stayt-at-home moms are liars, and exaggerating how hard it is! The phone obviously lit up. 

"Record Breaker" Rush is at it again, a new survey shows most people have fake Christmas trees nowadays, Detroit has been terrorized by a runaway goat, and a JetBlue flight turned around due to someone vaping weed in their lavatory! Gatorade plans to pay people to yell at their tv screens, and we hit the phones to hear what movie title describes your sex life! 

Websites crashed everywhere yesterday, so apologies for the delay. Turns out Mike Tyson is now a "shaman!" The penny is no longer being produced, which is driving its value in certain areas of the country. Some guy learned the hard way why it's not a good idea to swallow a burger whole, new reports suggest Adolph Hitler was lacking downstairs, and we read our Penny Power "Peeves of the Week!" 

With the prevalence of AI, more actors are taking steps to either join the revolution or fight it! Dave shared his "Pigskin Picks" for Week 11 in the NFL, we crowned our "Asshat of the Week," and admitted what movies the whole world has seen, but not us! 

Today we discovered a new world record that was AC/DC inspired, Rick had a news story that pissed Dave off, Walmart has started undercutting Starbucks, some woman REALLY wanted her Little Caesar's, and iPhone just rolled out the most ridiculous product of theirs yet.

Happy Veterans Day! We kicked things off with a trip to England, where the stadium designers are still laughing. We found our dream girl in a Chilean beauty pageant, and also a drinking study that doesn't add up, plus it's Tuesday so we read our Penny Power "Peeves of the Week." And we all fessed up to the main thing we always disagree on with our significant others! 

Back to the grind after another crazy weekend of NFL upsets, and a big game on deck tonight! There was a loose pig on a rampage in Buffalo of all places, Jim Carrey inducted Soundgarden in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and beans have been trending on TikTok. There's a lot of news in the food world for several franchises, and we hit the phones to hear what your kids have destroyed! 

Happy Friday! We have to admit, AI music is far surpassing our expectations. It just continues to deliver, even with Vanilla Ice! Dave shared his "Pigskin Picks" for Week 10 in the NFL, we crowned our "Asshat of the Week," and hit the phones to debate the best cheesesteaks in the Lehigh Valley! 

This year's holiday cups just arrived at Starbucks and the demand is insane, Generation Alpha's "6-7" slang is out of control, we found a chef so crazy for General Tso's Chicken he's rapping about it, and we you frequent buffets don't miss the tips inside here to optimize your eating! We also fessed up to the things we get most competitive about! 

Today we kicked off the show by being introduced to "moon water," a judge got drunk and relieved herself in the street, Uber claims they're bringing rickshaws to NYC, Kraft is now getting kooky with flavors for their mac n cheese, and we found another crazy bear story in the news. But the big topic today was Tom Brady cloning his dead dog! Would you do it?! 

Happy Election Day! For some reason, we elected to play the LA Dodgers' new anthem to kick off the show. A woman in Western Pennsylvania is making the rest of us look bad, Amazon is now serving Thanksgiving dinner, and Oreo has completely lost the plot with it's flavors. An activist group is targeting one of the tamest game shows out there, and we hit the phones to share our stories about encountering wild animals! 

Back at it after a Halloween weekend, where the World Series was settled in a truly incredible Game 7. Rick just found out about sunroof drains, we discovered the King of online chess, and some guy was handing out crab legs for Trick or Treat! Generation Z is struggling with history, and we shared our stories of drinking to the point of embarrassing injuries! 

Happy Halloween! We had a "Free-for-all Friday," taking listsner requests for whatever they wanted to hear, so we're light on content. BUT, Dave didn't disappoint when it came to handing out his "Pigskin Picks," despite the fact that it's a bye week for the Birds. A listener also tried to motivate Rick to embrace candy corn, and believe it or not, there's a campaign being mounted against Halloween! 

Rick lied! He still couldn't make it in, and Dave thinks he was simply too scared. It's Halloween Eve after all, and today's show fit the vibe. Cyndi Lauper shared Trick or Treat stories, a monkey got loose at a Spirit Halloween store, and some guy torched his neighbor's Halloween decorations! It's National Candy Corn Day, and Dave shared one of his favorite urban legend stories, then hit the phones to hear some from the listeners! 

Dave was still holding things down solo, and started the show with some juvenile humor for the holiday. He also had a rather annoying commute into work today thanks to his rental car. Experts say extraterrestrial life may reveal itself to us today, and there's a really cool cover song floating around on YouTube with a twist. Dave then hit the phones to find out about anyone named after a horror movie villain in real life! 

Holy Halloween! Dave packed a lot of spooky content into the show today, but first had to update people on who won the 18-inning World Series Game last night. Some woman online went off on Trunk or Treat! Cocaine has reportedly been found in Pennsylvania candy stashes, a 10-year-old gave his take on what kids really want for Halloween, and some TikTokker pranked her boyfriend over naked Trick or Treating. Dave also shared his experience in the Knoebel's Haunted Mansion, then hit the phones to hear listener haunted house stories! 

Back to the grind! Rick is off in Grandpa land down South, so Dave was riding solo and kicked things off with a football recap. The new Springsteen biopic was just released, which called for a pop quiz. Some guy in Florida has the neighborhood in an uproar thanks to his spicy Halloween decorations, and there's a store you may want to avoid if you intend to offend! Dave's family carved pumpkins over the weekend, and his youngest son became attached to a bug in the backyard, so the phones lit up with other strange bonds your kids have made in the past! 

Friday! Have you seen any Black Friday sales being advertised?? You probably will soon. Dave shared his "Pigskin Picks" against the spread for Week 8 in the NFL, we crowned our "Asshat of the Week" and hit the phones to kiss and tell! 

Today we talked Starbucks introducing AI to predict your coffee needs, some guy literally put a 2 carat diamond in his fake eye, "scream clubs" are trending, birthrates in the US are not, and Hallmark is hoping to make Halloween less lonely. Plus, we took another real-life case to "Listeners' Court!"

We kicked off the show in a rather disgusting way, then heard the latest (and most predictable) excuse for that airliner that was damaged last week. A musician who's played countless weddings did a perfect parody of every bridesmaid's speech ever, a new survey found the loneliest day of the year (and it's not what you expect), and some YouTube channel has been funkifying classic rock songs. We also shared the oldschool appliance or technology that we still use to this day! 

Taco Tuesday! But we didn't head to Mexico, quite the opposite in fact. Canada is headed to the World Series for the first time in over 30 years. Our favorite lawman returned, Kohler is now selling a toilet with a camera inside it, and we read our Penny Power peeves of the week! We also had an extra bold listener who called us about a problem at work...

Back at it! The Birds got back to winning ways, and so did Dave with his "Pigskin Picks," some woman has made a cookbook from recipes inscribed on gravestones, and "space debris" hit at airliner at 36,000 feet! GrubHub is now offering "snooze insurance," and we did a bed check to see how often people change their sheets! 

Happy Friday! Halloween is approaching, so today we talked candy, and the differences between how men and women approach it. Dave shared his "Pigskin Picks" for Week 7 in the NFL, we crowned our "Asshat of the Week," and shared our costumes for this Halloween season! 

Rick returned! Today we laughed about a handful of baseball players refusing to stay with their team at a certain hotel in Milwaukee, some poor guy had his car stolen by his first date, and gorillas are going wild! We did our best to promote American wood, celebrated National Bosses Day, and in the spirit of Alec Baldwin hit the phones to hear what partner's possessions you've ruined!

Dave was hosting solo again, and kicked things off by stopping by the Alec Baldwin Driving Academy! A TikTokker is calling out The Gap for mortifying her with their new pants. A man went balistic when his wife didn't want to go to Chili's, and Kim Kardashian's new underwear is beyond ridiculous. Dave found his perfect car, and a new survey shows that Baby Boomers are now renting in droves, which could lead to some rather strange living arrangements. Enjoy! 

Dave was flying solo today and talked about the Alec Baldwin car crash and his rather ridiculous explanation for it. Another World Record has been broken! Be careful tossing your cheeseburger out the window, and it's time National Face Your Fears Day. Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to have Freddie Mercury as your neighbor? You'll get a taste of that in here. Plus, we took a couple of real-life cases of outrageous Halloween decorators to "Listeners' Court!"

Back at it! Today we recapped Week 6 in the NFL, heard about a flyaway pumpkin, some guy decided to decorate for Halloween with local elected officials, and Airheads has a very odd new product up for grabs. A new survey says most Americans are open to weddings being sponsored, and we hit the phones to hear what things you've left on your roof by accident! 

It's probably one of the worst morning afters in Philly sports history, but we powered through! A news station fell for a hilariously stupid story, Dave made his "Pigskin Picks" for Week 6 in the NFL, we crowned our "Asshat of the Week," and hit the phones to hear what smell bothers you the most! 

Today we kicked off the show with some extreme baby talk, Dave gave his "Pigskin Pick" for the Birds on Thursday Night Football tonight, we learned of the world's most expensive burger, and hit the phones to debate a viral confrontation at a restaurant! 

Rick found an AI video that he literally cannot stop watching, Tyra Banks came out with the wackiest idea for a new dessert, Busch Light came out with a wacky idea for a promotion, and it's Pet Obesity Awareness Day. The newest rankings for worst city in America to commute to are out, and someone Dave knows got busted by a bus! We debated the incident on today's show...

Thoughts and prayers to anyone who bet on the Chiefs last night... we talked about the wild ending to Monday Night Football! A woman in Florida got icky with her revenge on an ex. Rush has announced they're touring again, and their new drummer truly is a shocker! Plus, we celebrated National Forgiveness Day and peeled back the pages of the Penny Power once again for our "Peeves of the Week." 

Back to the grind... Week 5 in the NFL got all kinds of crazy, with underdogs barking everywhere! We found a woman who may have had the dumbest issue with her car ever, Taco Bell has gotten into the ultramarathon game, and the Stones are making a shameless cash grab. Plus, we shared the story of a poor woman in England who got trapped in her house thanks to an Amazon delivery. So we hit the phones to hear your package problems!
