Happy Birthday Jared Followill! The bassist for Kings of Leon and brother of bandmate/lead singer Caleb Followill, turns 34 on November 20th.

Today we look back at when Kings of Leon came to The XFINITY Theatre in 2014. Kings of Leon hit the road in support of their sixth studio album “Mechanical Bull,” which was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2014 Grammy Awards. This was Kings of Leon’s second stop in Connecticut on the tour. In February 2014 the band played at Mohegan Sun Arena.

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)

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)

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)
