PODCAST – Wednesday, March 31: Godzilla Vs. Kong; CT Real Estate Stories; Dumb Ass News

PODCAST – Wednesday, March 31: Godzilla Vs. Kong; CT Real Estate Stories; Dumb Ass News

Chaz and AJ wanted to hear some of the real estate stories out there, since the market in CT is hotter than ever. Tribe members have been frustrated trying to buy, since most walk-throughs are limited to a max of 15 minutes! Plus, one horror story of sellers completely sabotaging the move-in process. (0:00)

James and Victor from Modzelewski’s Towing and Recovery were on the phone this morning to talk about the efforts to remove the truck that erupted into flames yesterday on 84, closing down the bridge in Southbury in both directions. (19:42)

Dumb Ass News – What would make a tax preparer pull on a gun on a client? It happened, and there’s audio. If only AJ could explain what we’re listening to. (24:28)

Movie critic Joe Meyers was on to talk about the big movie release today, Godzilla vs. Kong. Joe woke up early to watch it, and tell Chaz and AJ why he thinks it is a movie for children. Chaz said he’s not interested, AJ wants there to be a training montage for each monster like in “Rocky,” and Ashley could not care less about an animated character on screen (outside of her Disney favorites, of course) (32:41)

Throwback Concert: The Allman Brothers Band at New Haven Coliseum 1973

99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1973!

That year PLR welcomed The Allman Brothers Band at New Haven Coliseum. The Allman Brothers had released its third studio album “Eat a Peach” in 1972 and it featured such songs as Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More, Melissa and One Way Out. The band was coming off the tragic death of group leader and founder Duane Allman, who was killed in a motorcycle accident in October 1971. The Allman Brothers did not replace Duane and toured as five-piece band when they returned to the road in 1972 and 1973.

Unfortunately, tragedy struck again in November 1972 when another founding member, Berry Oakley, was also killed in a motorcycle accident.

Today we revisit The Allman Brothers Band’s 1973 concert in New Haven…

PODCAST – Tuesday, March 30: Tribe Nicknames; Naugatuck Shrimp Thieves; When To Eat Roadkill

While talking about nicknames, Chaz and AJ took a few calls from the Tribe about their nicknames, and one guy admitted his came from losing his virginity, on the Queen’s lawn under a picnic table. (0:00)

Carol the accountant was on to make sense of the announcement from the IRS, that you can write-off any PPE purchases this year, like masks, hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. However, because it’s the IRS, of course everything is far more complicated than it seems. (6:21)

Dumb Ass News – A Florida woman was arrested and then found to have been hiding tiny vodka bottles in her bra. Ashley admitted that she has routinely carried items in her bra, everything from her cell phone, to money, to.. butter? (20:55)

Naugatuck Mayor Pete Hess was on to talk about the trend of shrimp thefts continuing, with a third heist occurring recently. (29:34)

Kevin the survivalist called in to help answer some questions about when it is OK to eat roadkill, and Ashley admitted that she would never do it. (40:02)

Dumb Ass News – How do you impale yourself on a ladder? Better than that, how does the ladder become stuck in your head? Chaz and AJ were trying to figure out the physics of how this poor guy managed to do it. (44:45)
