PODCAST – Wednesday, November 11: 24 Hours Until AJ Enters The Box; Comedian Vic DiBitetto; Dumb Ass News

Dumb Ass News – A crazy televangelist spent nearly a full minute laughing at the media, for declaring Joe Biden the next President. (0:00)

Comedian Vic Dibitetto is doing a live show this week at Foxwoods, but before comedy, he was a bus driver. He shared stories about how he would get in trouble for doing harmless things, like playing the harmonica. (5:27)

Kevin Syombathy from McDermott Chevrolet and Lexus was on the phone to give a site update, where AJ will be living inside a plexiglass box for 24 hours. Another important box is due to arrive soon, and then a special guest might be visiting AJ near the end of his time inside the box. (15:49)

PODCAST – Tuesday, November 10: How Will AJ Survive 24 Hours In A Box?; A COVID Vaccine May Be On The Way; Dumb Ass News

The song for AJ in a Box has been chosen, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” Ashley read some facts about the song from the internet, Phil crunched the numbers on how many times AJ will hear it if he lasts 24 hours. Then, Chaz’s wife Jennifer called in to attempt to sing the highest notes. (0:00)

Chaz and AJ talked about the Pfizer announcement regarding their COVID-19 vaccine, and then played a bunch of clips about Alex Trebek’s death, including an outtakes reel. (11:09)

Dumb Ass News – A man put his hands down his underwear in public, but the real focus of the segment was on Ashley wearing the same pair of socks, multiple days in a row. (27:48)

Kevin Estela the survivalist was on to help AJ survive his 24 hours in the box with some mental tricks, then Captain Joe Murgo from the East Haven police was on to offer AJ the chance to switch places. He said he’d go in the box and listen to the song, if AJ would deal with his kids for 24 hours. It was a no deal. (37:18)

Chaz and AJ realized “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” was released just before AJ was born, so they called his mom in Florida to ask if the song had a hand in AJ’s conception. (50:46)

If you began to think the 24 hours in a box would be easy for AJ, this is the segment where you could hear the cracks start to form. AJ remembered multiple times in past years that he started to get some dark thoughts. (52:54)

PODCAST – Monday, November 9: RIP Alex Trebek; Earthquake Felt In CT; Pauly Shore Calls In

PODCAST – Monday, November 9: RIP Alex Trebek; Earthquake Felt In CT; Pauly Shore Calls In

Chaz and AJ had to reset the Celebrity Death Pool this morning, after the death of Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek. Everyone on the show made their selections, spoke to the Tribe member that “won,” who graciously donated his winnings to AJ in a Box. (0:00)

Nick the Science Guy was on to talk about an earthquake in CT, which was as forceful as an atomic bomb detonating 9 miles under the Earth’s surface. Also, a call with President Trump, claiming victory in the election and Joe Biden, claiming victory in the election. (12:56)

A huge debate broke out among show members, because of the song vote for AJ in a Box. Ashley was convinced there was a clear winner, but AJ wants a more thorough job to be done. (22:08)

NFL Agent Joe Linta was on the show to talk about the Giants winning, Tom Brady’s worst game of his career, and picked the Jets to beat the Patriots for Monday Night Football. (32:33)

Pauly Shore was on the show to talk about his new movie, “Guest House,” admits he never played with click-clacks as a kid, and couldn’t help AJ find the name of the TV show Lou Ferrigno was on. (45:53)
