We open with Greg’s replacement microphone, plenty of grief over how often he touches the thing, and a discussion of “Irritable Male Syndrome.” The study traces the term to testosterone research and brings plenty of jokes from the crew as we compare irritability, aging, stress and changing hormones.
Dawn’s first news block gets much heavier. We cover Daniel Hawkins-Boyce, 13, being charged in adult court after authorities say he fatally shoots 16-year-old William Boyd in Norristown with a stolen handgun he says he finds near a trash can. We then turn to the death of 26-year-old Belmont Charter teacher Zoe Schemm, who police say is struck and killed while crossing Lombard Street on her way to work. The Pat’s King of Steaks incident brings the mood back toward disbelief and dark humor as we react to footage showing a man throwing a cheesesteak at Tom Francano.
Phil delivers a brutal Philadelphia sports report. The Phillies’ season ends in Atlanta, bringing questions about Aaron Nola, Don Mattingly, Dave Dombrowski, roster construction and another short postseason stay. The Flyers lose 3-2 to the Devils in overtime, while the Eagles prepare for the Rams with DeVonta Smith, Zack Baun, Dallas Goedert, Hollywood Brown and Fred Johnson among the names on the injury report. We close the hour with our Big Take on Flock cameras, privacy, police access and the push for stronger guardrails.
