Friday, September 12: Spongemonkeys, Brian Foley on Charlie Kirk’s Shooter, Boss Keith’s Top 5

Chaz and AJ’s Bad Idea Island now included the infamous Quizno’s Spongemonkeys. Ruth did her best to explain why this was all bad, but it may have only convinced everyone that the spongemonkeys deserve to return. (0:00) 

Former Hartford Police Detective Brian Foley was on the phone with Chaz and AJ this morning, talking about all the steps investigators with the FBI have been going through to apprehend the Charlie Kirk shooter. During his call, it was reported that the shooter had already been caught. (5:59) 

Chaz and AJ had asked the Tribe to call in something different, but a mom heard a story get mentioned and wanted to highlight some details. A West Hartford teacher was accused in news reports of “tickling,” but mom says that is not the way to describe what was happening. (20:54) 

Boss Keith, recently promoted, needed a new title before the Top 5 started today. Once things got rolling, he shared the things everyone needs to stop doing in emails. (29:24)

Thursday, September 11: Remembering 24 Years Ago

Chaz and AJ asked former Stamford Fire Chief, Tom G, to handle this morning’s Top 10. He counts down the things that movies always get wrong about firefighters. (0:00) 

24 years ago, Dave Russell was at home, enjoying an off-day, when his wife called the landline to tell him to turn on the TV. Minutes later, he was on his way in to NYC, to commandeer a city bus, and help organize whatever help or aid he could in the immediate hours after the attack took place. (5:13) 

Holly Winter was thankfully not where she was supposed to be on 9/11. Originally, she had planned to be in the the WTC, enjoying champagne and caviar with her mom. That trip never happened, since her mom insisted on visiting her in Colorado, instead. (32:33) 

Joe Lott’s life was saved, thanks to a necktie. Joe was on the phone with Chaz and AJ to share his story of visiting New York on 9/11, and the fashion advice a co-worker gave him minutes before he was supposed to be at the Windows of the World. (40:56) 

Rory Thompson from the Bethel Volunteer Fire Department was on the phone to talk about the blood drive they are hosting, and also shared his personal story from 24 years ago, working in New York City the morning of 9/11. (51:03) 

Live Nation’s Jimmy Koplik was on to talk about how concerts in Connecticut changed in the immediate days after the events of 9/11. Jimmy specifically remembers canceling a show scheduled for that same night, by Earth, Wind and Fire. (57:55) 

Marty was supposed to be at the Yankee game, 9/11/01. He wound up going over two weeks later, but never relaxed during the game. Plus, AJ Bordas was in studio from Mission 22, to talk about the important free services they offer to veterans who struggle to adjust to life as a civilian after service. (1:05:14)
