Cody and Joe

Alexa or Mon?  Depends on the question....although asking mom has been around a whole lot longer than asking Alexa.  John Almeda (Run John Ron), is 23 and non verbal autistic.  His passion is running.  Last year he ran the California International Marathon hoping to qualitfy for the Boston Marathon.  Sometime during mile 10 he broke his ankle....and still finished!  T...

A man at WalMart accidentally shot himself.  He'll be fine but listen to find our where and, well, where (yep, two wheres, no waiting).   The California International Marathon is this Sunday.  An incredible young man is running.  He ran it last year and broke his foot...and still finished.  We feature John  along with the inspriational story of a special needs hi...

Are your devices listening to you?  You know, your phone, Alexa, even tablets.  The  response was overwhelmingly yes!!  Many of you have great examples.....Christina's may be the most direct.  Pat has 7 Christmas inflatibles in his front yard.  What's the over/under on how many will still be in his front yard when he gets home and how many will be blown down the stree...

Tom finally got his birthday gift from Pat and it was one of the most unique gift wrap jobs ever.  Monopoly has a new version just for millennials and wait until you hear how you lose!   Last night was a very good night for Paradise High School Athletics.  Their boys varsity basketball team played Chico.  How it was handled and the results will make you smile.  Is it...

Even the person who LOVES Christmas can become a little stressed during the season.  If Brett Eldredge is Mr Christmas, Pat's his roadies.  And Pat had one of those "seasonal" moments over the weekend.   You know that person who when you go out to eat has a problem finding their wallet?  Yeah, that happened....listen to how the boys dealt with it.  Today is Tom's birt...

A pigeon was found very much alive and healthy but wearing a bedazzled vest.  Not sure how that happens but we tried our best to find out.  You know about the Camp Fire, how many weren't able to make it out, how many are still missing....now hear what it was like for one family who were stuck in traffic trying to get out and surrounded by flames.  How did they make it out and what's...

Ever have one of those mornings where stuff is broken and you can't figure out how or why?  That was today!  We announced our Camp Fire Benefit Concert today.  God Bless you Carly Pearce for stepping up!  It's in Roseville, Dec 3rd, and all money from tickets sold goes right to the Salvation Army for Camp Fire evacuees.  Pat saw one of the greatest things ever involving a...

Highlights from this morning's show include Keith Urban's emotional win at last night's CMA Awards,  the shout outs to Northern California Fire Victims from Chris Stapleton, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, a Fire Fighter from Linocln battling the Camp Fire takes a few minutes out to remind people in Lincoln that today is their annual turkey drive, and the FFA Class at Del Oro is doing a wo...

A car dealership in Sourthern California may have gets not just the poor taste award but also most insensitive (or as Tom likes to say, they're tone deaf).  We have that story today along with an amazing story that will move you from loyal listener Kristen.  She's from Chico and was at the Chico Walmart when the fire just started to spread.  What she saw and how it was handled is te...

Our air remains unhealthy and that's what's closed both Sac State and UC Davis today.  The list of what Camp Fire evacuees are most in need of is way more focused than yesterday.  Pat and Tom find out that their boss's favorite band is doint something really cool for firefighters and first responders tonight at the Golden 1 Center.  And in today's Good Stuff, incredible stories of s...

If you have a sore throat you're not alone.  All of this smokey air is causing cold and in some cases flu-like symptoms.  Cody is trying to get over the flu anyway so this is not helping BUT these things are so minor compared to what over 52,000 evacuees from the Camp Fire are going through.  So many great ideas came rolling in this morninig on ways to help.  Our favorite came...

We spent a lot of time today talking about, taking phone calls about, and trying to help the evacuees of the Camp Fire in Butte County.  The town of Paradise is basically gone....can't even imagine that.  Many people who were forced to leave have little or nothing to go back to (when indeed they are allowed to go back).  Many of them are in hotels in Yuba City, Rocklin and Roseville...

Several times this morning we talked about and updated the tragic shooting that happened last night in Thousand Oaks and a Country bar.  Tragic, senseless, beyond sad.  The officer who lost his life and Matt Wennerstrom who broke a window and helped dozens escape are heroes.  Keep officer Ron Helus, his family, the victims and their families in your thoughts....and hug your loved on...

It's election day and what we most want is...that sticker!  Did you get yours?  If you did plesae take a picture of you with your sticker and post it on our fb page.  Pat was elected school president in 6th grade (promising to upgrade desserts for lunch), Cody ran for class treasurer and Tom was elected to a unique position!  Blake Shelton is no longer People Magazine's Sexiest...

First, I have to apologize.  Today's podcast is only about half of what we did today.  We had some technical difficulties not on the air, but when retrieving audio.  Which means we missed the conclusion of Cody's missingher plane from France to London, Tom's awesome audio of Garth talking about the influence of the band Queen, and Pat's funny "almost field of dreams" moment with his...

Did you have a lot of trick or treaters?  Jackie in East Sac said she had 2,000!!  How do you even buy for that many?  Both Pat and Tom had very few BUT they've come up with an idea on how to fix it.  Three little trick or treaters that hit Pat's house were amazed at getting full sized candy bars and one of them, a 3 year old, had a great take.  Orangevale's Devin Dawson i...

It's Halloween!  What are the hottest places around Sacramento to Trick Or Treat? We have the list.  Tom remembers a not pleasant Halloween and a listener who used to live in Fiddletown has a great story that involves a bear coat, a hat, some teenagers and and an axe (nobody got hurt but a couple of someones needed a wardrobe change!).  And, tips for tonight when the kids comes to y...

Ever forget a password?  Frustrating!  Thankfully there is sometimes a help desk you can call or email.  But how much of a help are they really??   There are 2 types of people:  those who like candy corn, and those who hate it.  Today is national candy corn day and we found out something that changed one of our opinions of candy corn.  Will it change yours?&...

Election Day is a week from tomorrow.  Can you figure out the county supplement?  This is like a 3 hour take home exan.  BUT we have a way to simplify it for you :)  The World Series ended last night with Boston winning and for the second straight year the Dodgers were the runner up.  Nobody trolls dodger fans like giants fans (and vice versa) and here's proof!  &nbsp...

Cody is in England (specifically London) for the next week.  We hope she has such a great time that she wants to repeat it some day.  So we filled out our Cody in England Bingo card with many of your suggestions.  One of them took us by surprise!   A city in North Carolina is banning a certain type of Halloween candy.  Not because it' might hurt you or is harmful, but...

We may not have won the .lottery but we did receive some good karma!! At least it looks that way....what do you think?  Halloween is a week from tonight: would you buy a house that you liked if you knew it was haunted?   In today's Good Stuff, a six year old boy in Phoenix has a birthday party.  His mom invited 40 people.  No one came.  The picture of this cute little...

A man in San Diego sued a Scary Haunted House because it was too...... yikes!  Is there a scary movie that you either don't watch or avoid?  Tonight's Mega Millions is not just our country's biggest lottery jackpot, it's the world' biggest lottery jackpot.  Guess who has never bought a lottery ticket before?!  So, we sent him out to get a couple and gain a new life experience.&...

One of the best moments of Saturday's Downtown Chowdown is when Chris Janson brought 8 year old JJ on stage to help out with a song.  The kid nailed it!  Pat got corned by 2 older guys who probably had too much celebration ahead of time and the result was pretty entertaining.  Cody talked to her ex...what??  And the number one movie in America over the weekend is "Halloween," w...

When we started this morning at 5am the Mega Millions jackpot was $970 million.  Before we got off the air at 10am it was a billion and climbing.  If we would happen to win (not gonna happen but go with it), one of us would immediately hire a lawyer and stay quiet, another would hide out for awhile, and one of us would throw a party.  Who's who on this?  A boy in Natomas celebr...
