National French Fry Day 2022: can you eat this many fries??

Written by Scotty on July 13, 2022 in 2022, radio show

Matt Stonie ate 5 pounds of french fries in like 20 minutes...

*Professional eater on closed course. Do Not Attempt.

Scotty note: I gave up french fries for my New Year's Resolution on the condition that Tony would eat my share of french fries all year long. Today I want to beat the 5 pound french fry record to really make a splash on french fry day. What do you think? 7 pounds?? Can I do it!!!!??? Yes, yes I'm going to eat SEVEN POUNDS OF FRENCH FRIES!!! Except, it has to be Tony because I gave up fries for New Year's. Tony's got this, you guys. Even though he has a toothache, he's gonna muscle through the pain and break the french fry record for me!!! He promised!!!!!! To be continued.

French Fry Fact Sheet:

1) "Most of the world’s french fries come from New Brunswick-based McCain Foods! The company makes one-third of all the frozen french fries produced in the world, in its state-of-the art potato processing plant in Florenceville-Bristol."

2) French Fries are delicious*

Happy French Fry Day you guys!

Hot Take: Newscasters should be allowed to have a few drinks during the news

Written by Scotty on July 12, 2022 in 2022, radio show

This lady had a crazy-busy work schedule. She has been suspended by the TV station but I don't know you guys, I think she should be allowed to have a few cocktails during the news. I found her approach to be refreshing, honest, a little confusing, but most importantly, entertaining. BTW, she says she was just exhausted, not inebriated. Doesn't matter to me, I say "Let the anchors drink!!"

Viewers expressing concern over train wreck of local evening newscast out of Albany. Anchor Heather Kovar appeared disheveled, misspoke, and slurred her words for the entire newscast. Here, she tries to set up the weather and toss to the meteorologist, who’s name she gets wrong. pic.twitter.com/70jwwvykKt
