After all, he's a Nacho Man! * Top 5 Rejected New Names for the RailRiders! — The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are getting ready to unveil their new name, but Prospector has uncovered five possibilities that probably didn't make the final cut.

On today’s episode: * The Beltway Belts Our Billfold! — The proposed Scranton Beltway is supposed to make driving around Northeast Pennsylvania easier by connecting Interstate 81 with the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Prospector has a better idea, and it involves eliminating some tolls! * What Did Your Pet Eat? — Prospector's stepdaughter's Yorkie, Betty, recently destroyed his Apple TV remote, and that got him wondering what other valuable, disgusting, or downright bizarre things our pets have gotten their mouths on. ROCK 107 listeners share their stories of four-legged garbage disposals and the things they never should have swallowed! * National Men Make Dinner Day! — Prospector can grill a burger, microwave a frozen meal, and make a pretty respectable peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But actually COOK dinner? With side dishes? That's a completely different story!

On today’s episode: * Election Day Hangover! — The votes have been cast, the political ads have finally stopped, and Americans are recovering from another exhausting election season.

Because nothing says informed democracy quite like waiting until the last possible minute to make up your mind! * Now We Have to Be NICE to Artificial Intelligence? — You've spent years yelling at computers, printers, and other technology that refuses to cooperate. Now we're being told we should be polite to A.I. chatbots! Apparently, some A.I. companies don't appreciate people being mean to their software, and the machines might even learn to be cruel themselves. Prospector and Kait wonder when computers became so sensitive and whether being rude to A.I. could eventually come back to haunt us. * Prospector and Kait's Election Day Attack Ads! — After weeks of nasty political commercials, Prospector and Kait decide to get into the attack ad business themselves. But instead of going after politicians, they're going after each other! It's a campaign of accusations, personal attacks, and absolutely no concern for the truth. Just like real politics, only with two morning radio hosts! * Am I a Jerk? The Four-Way Stop Incident! — Something Prospector did at a four-way stop has him wondering whether he crossed the line.

Another business empire dies before it gets started! * Things We Should Actually Be Voting On! — Election Day is Tuesday, and after weeks of political ads, Prospector and Kait think it's time Americans voted on something that really matters! Should reclining your airplane seat require permission? Should Christmas decorations before Halloween be illegal? Forget the candidates. There are everyday annoyances that deserve a national referendum! * Fall Back to a Dark Drive Home! — Daylight Saving Time has ended, and now you're leaving work in what feels like the middle of the night. The clocks went back an hour, but somehow the sun decided to clock out early, too.

And he's got some interesting ideas about who deserves paid time off! * The Halloween Candy Protection System — Prospector has a serious problem. He bought Halloween candy early, and somehow half the Reese's have disappeared before the first trick-or-treater has even arrived. His solution? Treat the candy like evidence in a murder investigation, complete with inventory sheets, individually numbered candy bars, and security cameras. There's just one problem with his plan: he's probably the prime suspect. * The Future Has Arrived: Resealable Cereal Bags! — Forget flying cars and artificial intelligence.
