PODCAST – Friday, June 26: Stand Up For Vets Recap, AJ’s “Buttle Rocket” Montage, Fun Facts, And More!
A trio of calls from important folks who helped to make last night’s Chaz and AJ Hine Bros. Truck Group Stand Up for Vets a huge success. Donors like Joe from Oxford Lumber and Bob Stefanowski, and then Laurie Hollander, the President of Help Our Military Heroes. (0:00)
Dumb Ass News – Since Chaz and AJ will be on vacation next week, and they cannot celebrate the 4th of July with their usual display, a montage of past “Buttle Rocket” celebrations. (19:06)
Fun Fact! The Tribe was given the green light to call in about anything, as long as they began their call with “Fun Fact.” Learn about the mating habits of octopuses, the testing process for Samsung phones, and boring geography from WPLR Program Director Allan Lamberti. (25:27)
Boss Keith’s Top 5 this week was about “constant arguments” he has with people about things that do not matter, at all. (38:13)

Throwback Concert: AC/DC at Madison Square Garden 2016
In 2016 AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson was ordered by his doctors to stop touring immediately or he’d lose his hearing. Pretty serious.
AC/DC was in the middle of its “Rock or Bust World Tour,” and after learning of this news about Brian, the band was forced to postpone the remainder of the tour.
But the postponement didn’t last long as the band recruited a new lead singer: Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses. Axl would finish the remainder of the 2016 tour, which included a show at New York’s Madison Square Garden in September, originally scheduled in April.
