Advertise on podcast: Chaz and AJ In The Morning

The worst things about staying the in the hospital, according to AJ who has spent quite a bit of time there across his 11 hernia surgeries.

(18:16)   Commander Keith was in for his Top 5, which was about why it sucks to run a restaurant today. Really, it was his way of complaining about his favorite local restaurant closing. (30:58)

Big Mike was in charge of the "On the Board" segment this morning, with the top things that homeowners do to annoy contractors. Chaz and AJ took calls from the Tribe, who have all experienced this in their day-to-day work. (0:00)  Jack Desch, a professional accident reconstructionist, was on the phone with Chaz and AJ to talk about the insane ways people try to commit insurance fraud.

The Long Island Potato Festival is this weekend! Chaz and AJ talked with Steve from Mobil Iron Chef about this weekend's potato extravaganza

Once a week, Chaz and AJ open the phone lines for the Tribe to call in and share their petty pet peeves. Jeep ducks, empty toilet paper rolls, lost change at the drive-thru, and the never-ending need for napkins were all called in.

There are some new details from the fatal Learjet crash in Florida. Chaz and AJ talked about the pieces recovered by investigators, with some early indicators of what may have caused the incident. Plus, Chaz shared a story of witnessing a plane crash when he was younger. (0:00)  In Dumb Ass News, the public voted for the new name of the government center, but did not get the name they asked for. Chaz and AJ had audio from the news report, which explains why there was pushback on the choice. (11:58)   Chaz was nearly the victim of a scam text, and shared his experience as a warning for the Tribe. (21:55)   Who is "The Mad Pooper," and what motivated their serial soiling of lawns, sidewalks and public spaces?

In today's Dumb Ass News roundup, two adults stole the entire bucket of Halloween candy from a front porch, only to be publicly shamed online and lose their job for lying about it.

Margaux Farrell-Hyde brought enough Christmas cheer for everyone. (0:00)   How much will it take to own your own, authentic Batmobile? Chaz and AJ welcomed Catherine Williamson from Julien's Auctions on to discuss the 1992 "Batman Returns" Batmobile expected to fetch millions of dollars. (17:02)   AJ was on the phone with another medical update, as he continues his recovery from surgery. Jennifer Lawrence recently admitted that her butthole will never be the same after childbirth, which prompted a bunch of moms to call in with their experiences. (30:22)

AJ called in to share an update on his surgery recovery, and Chaz took calls from the Tribe. No one expected so many calls about items found inside of you, but roofing nails, feathers from pillows, and metal splinters have all found their way inside of people one way or another.

The show began with gratitude, from Halloween ending, to differing takes about the traffic, and a football fan who celebrated the Cowboys losing again. (0:00)   A terrifying Learjet crash in Florida had most witnesses believing a missile had been fired.

(37:45)   Dr. Rob was on the phone with Chaz and AJ this morning, to talk about the dumb ways people almost died. He had prepared a whole list of stories, but we started in the studio with comedian Dan Shea, who wandered way too far into the water to go fishing. (53:00)

AJ was on the phone, from his hospital bed, to check in with everyone following what seems to be a successful surgery. Chaz and AJ talked about the procedure, the plan to go home today, and horse farts.

Chaz opened the show with a remembrance of Jason DeManche, a volunteer firefighter. The Tribe also called in the things they are grateful for this morning, from animal rescuers, to a successful liver transplant 5 years later, and Brayden's Godsmack experience. (0:00)   Chaz and AJ took more stories from the Tribe about their ghost experiences, including Frank's numerous encounters with "shadow people."

Ruth, along with her friend, Kate, took a night time drive through some of the hotspots according to urban legend. (34:56)  "Ruin It" Rob from Manorville called in to talk about his birthday, nearly derailing the show. Chaz learned that Rob has a fiancee, and the entire segment was salvaged thanks to Zoe. (51:51)  Commander Keith was in studio for his Top 5, all about his hate for Halloween. The segment started with an argument about the music in the station sweepers, and deviated into a big pizza discussion with Kevin from Pepe's.

Dr. Lindsay Owens was on the phone with Chaz and AJ this morning to discuss the growing use of "surveillance pricing" among large shopping corporations. She explained some of the very troubling patents that have been filed by these companies, which might make the shopping experience far more expensive, in the very near future.  Photo courtesy: Lindsay Owens

Chaz and AJ started once again with gratitude, even though the Tribe is struggling to catch on to the premise. AJ and Big Mike both shared some very personal moments this morning, only to have a few Tribe callers immediately wash away the good will. (0:00)   Your Halloween pet peeves! Big Mike handled the "On the Board" duties, as the Tribe called in about kids in no costumes, candy thieves, and the folks who leave their skeleton decorations up year-round. (13:09)  AJ was ready to take off to make his surgery check in time, and the Tribe sent him off with some well-wishes. Most of them, anyway. (32:35)  Live Nation's Jimmy Koplik was on to share a lot with Chaz and AJ about Aerosmith. From Sammy Hagar rehearsal clips, to fights backstage at Woodstock '94, and some infamous moments of taking the stage in an altered state. (41:33)
