PODCAST – Monday, December 12: Toy Drive Recap; AJ’s Surprise Party; Scot Haney’s Bucket Truck Experience
Chaz and AJ had a lot of fun Friday, broadcasting live from Jordan’s Furniture in New Haven for the Chaz and AJ McDermott Chevrolet and Lexus of New Haven Toy Drive. However, they were so busy with the schedule of events, they didn’t get a chance to listen to some of what was happening. So this morning, they listened back to the K&J Tree Service Bucket Truck ride, and some of the musical performances from the Kathy Thompson Band and NRBQ. (0:00)
The day after the Toy Drive was AJ’s birthday, and Chaz threw a surprise party for him. It was all under the guise of a fund-raising event for the Toy Drive, and completely fooled him despite numerous clues to the real happening. (19:19)
WFSB’s Scot Haney was on with his experience from the bucket truck, and what it was like trying to broadcast live on Channel 3 with Chaz screeching from the bucket right next to him. (36:58)
PODCAST – Thursday, December 8: Remembering John Lennon; News 8’s Alyssa Taglia; Stump The Chumps – Famous Duos
Live Nation’s Jimmy Koplik will always remember today as the day John Lennon was killed. He was on to talk about watching Monday Night Football as the announcement was made to the country. (0:00)
Alyssa Taglia from News 8 was on to tease Chaz, since he’s so anxious about going up in the bucket. She’s rappelled down the Mohegan Sun hotel, so has no problem with heights. Then, Chaz and AJ spoke with Andy from Art’s TV and Appliance about tomorrow’s Toy Drive. (6:02)
Realizing a bit too late that they should have been more specific, the Tribe absolutely dominated Chaz and AJ with their “famous duo” trivia questions for a chance to go see Metallica. (22:15)

While discussing their favorite holiday and Christmas movies, Chaz’s wife, Jennifer sang a little from the Charlie Brown special. (0:00)
Dumb Ass News – Sure, anyone can swallow a sword, the whole trick is doing it without injury. This “professional” sword-swallower really messed up during a show. (10:12)
Scot Haney has agreed to get in the K&J Tree Services bucket truck Friday morning, live from the Toy Drive, and go up 75 feet in the air. Is that OK with all the managers at WFSB? Chaz and AJ spoke with Greg Thomas about the bit, to make sure this is OK to do. (16:41)
