On today’s episode:

* The Beltway Belts Our Billfold! — The proposed Scranton Beltway is supposed to make driving around Northeast Pennsylvania easier by connecting Interstate 81 with the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Prospector loves the idea, except for one little problem: They're going to charge us to use it! Why should drivers have to pay to escape traffic on a free highway? Prospector has a better idea, and it involves eliminating some tolls!

* What Did Your Pet Eat? — Prospector's stepdaughter's Yorkie, Betty, recently destroyed his Apple TV remote, and that got him wondering what other valuable, disgusting, or downright bizarre things our pets have gotten their mouths on. ROCK 107 listeners share their stories of four-legged garbage disposals and the things they never should have swallowed!

* National Men Make Dinner Day! — Prospector can grill a burger, microwave a frozen meal, and make a pretty respectable peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But actually COOK dinner? With side dishes? That's a completely different story! Prospector and Kait celebrate National Men Make Dinner Day with a look at what happens when guys who can barely operate a stove are expected to prepare an entire meal. Plus, the revolutionary new concept of Dude Dinner!

* Prospector's Prank Call: The Ultimate Yardwork Hydration Product! — Prospector calls a hardware store with what he believes is a brilliant new product designed to keep people hydrated while doing yardwork. He's ready to revolutionize outdoor chores, but the person on the other end of the phone isn't buying it. Another million-dollar idea goes down in flames before it ever reaches the shelves!

Plus more weird, funny, local, and completely unnecessary moments from the show.

Stay caught up on Northeast PA radio, Scranton Beltway controversy, crazy pet stories, National Men Make Dinner Day, Prospector Prank Calls, and the daily nonsense you might have missed on the Prospector Show.

On today’s episode:

* Election Day Hangover! — The votes have been cast, the political ads have finally stopped, and Americans are recovering from another exhausting election season. Prospector and Kait look at how many people are so tired of the election that they don't even care who won anymore. Some would rather call in sick than face another political conversation at work!

* What's the Worst Name for a Sports Team? — With the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders preparing to unveil a new identity, Prospector and Kait ask listeners to come up with the worst possible name for a sports team. From embarrassing mascots to names that should never appear on a jersey, ROCK 107 listeners deliver some hilariously terrible suggestions!

* Top 5 Things You Shouldn't Believe! — A lawsuit involving McDonald's McRib raises a question: Did people really think there was premium rib meat in that sandwich? Prospector counts down five other things people really shouldn't believe. Because apparently common sense isn't nearly as common as it used to be!

* The Things Prospector Believes — Prospector shares another collection of his personal truths, questionable observations, and opinions about the world around him. Some might make perfect sense. Others will probably have Kait questioning how his brain works.

Plus more weird, funny, local, and completely unnecessary moments from the show.

On today’s episode:

* The Undecided Voter Hotline! — It's Election Day, and somehow there are still people who haven't decided who they're voting for! Fortunately, Prospector and Kait have a solution: the Undecided Voter Hotline. Because nothing says informed democracy quite like waiting until the last possible minute to make up your mind!

* Now We Have to Be NICE to Artificial Intelligence? — You've spent years yelling at computers, printers, and other technology that refuses to cooperate. Now we're being told we should be polite to A.I. chatbots! Apparently, some A.I. companies don't appreciate people being mean to their software, and the machines might even learn to be cruel themselves. Prospector and Kait wonder when computers became so sensitive and whether being rude to A.I. could eventually come back to haunt us.

* Prospector and Kait's Election Day Attack Ads! — After weeks of nasty political commercials, Prospector and Kait decide to get into the attack ad business themselves. But instead of going after politicians, they're going after each other! It's a campaign of accusations, personal attacks, and absolutely no concern for the truth. Just like real politics, only with two morning radio hosts!

* Am I a Jerk? The Four-Way Stop Incident! — Something Prospector did at a four-way stop has him wondering whether he crossed the line. With Scranton's new traffic patterns already confusing drivers, this latest encounter raises the question: Was Prospector justified, or was he the jerk? You decide!

Plus more weird, funny, local, and completely unnecessary moments from the show.

On today’s episode:

* Prospector’s Prank Call: Diapers Made from Dryer Lint! — Prospector calls a guy with what he believes is a brilliant new business opportunity: making disposable diapers out of dryer lint! It's recycling, it's environmentally friendly, and there's practically an unlimited supply of raw materials. Unfortunately, the guy on the other end of the phone isn't nearly as enthusiastic about the idea. Another business empire dies before it gets started!

* Things We Should Actually Be Voting On! — Election Day is Tuesday, and after weeks of political ads, Prospector and Kait think it's time Americans voted on something that really matters! Should reclining your airplane seat require permission? Should Christmas decorations before Halloween be illegal? Forget the candidates. There are everyday annoyances that deserve a national referendum!

* Fall Back to a Dark Drive Home! — Daylight Saving Time has ended, and now you're leaving work in what feels like the middle of the night. The clocks went back an hour, but somehow the sun decided to clock out early, too. Prospector and Kait tackle the annual frustration of shorter days, dark parking lots, and the depressing realization that winter is coming.

On today’s episode:

* inTEXTicated — Another collection of hilarious, embarrassing, and completely regrettable text messages sent by people who probably should have put their phones away a few drinks earlier. Bad decisions, worse spelling, and texts that seemed like a good idea at the time!

* Candy Corn ROCKS! — Some people say candy corn is the worst Halloween candy ever invented. Others can't get enough of it. Prospector introduces a rock song celebrating the awesomeness of Halloween's most controversial candy. Finally, candy corn gets the rock anthem it deserves!

* Go or No Go — Prospector and Kait look at what's happening around Northeast Pennsylvania this Halloween weekend! From haunted attractions to local celebrations, they help you decide which events deserve a spot on your weekend calendar. You tell us. Go or No Go?

* Prospector's Anti-Halloween Rant — While everybody else is getting excited about costumes, candy, and trick-or-treating, Prospector has had enough! Halloween is his least favorite holiday, and he's got a few things to say about the annual celebration of legalized begging. It's another edition of Prospector's Rant, and Halloween is squarely in his sights!

* Prospector’s Prank Call: Your Halloween Treats Aren't Good Enough! — Prospector calls a woman to inform her that the Halloween treats she handed out last year weren't up to his standards. This year, she needs to step up her candy game! Unfortunately, she doesn't appreciate having her Halloween generosity criticized by a complete stranger. And things go downhill from there!

* Sexy Halloween Costumes: WRONG ANSWERS ONLY! — Prospector is fed up with Halloween costumes that turn absolutely everything into something sexy. So he challenges ROCK 107 listeners to come up with the least sexy Halloween costumes imaginable.

On today’s episode:

* Paid Time Off for a New Pet? — A friend of Prospector's is getting a new puppy, and his boss is giving him an entire week of paid leave to potty train it! Prospector had to use vacation time when he brought Puka home, so he's drafted a formal proposal for ROCK 107's Human Resources Department: the Comprehensive Pet and Personal Acquisition Leave Policy. And he's got some interesting ideas about who deserves paid time off!

* The Halloween Candy Protection System — Prospector has a serious problem. He bought Halloween candy early, and somehow half the Reese's have disappeared before the first trick-or-treater has even arrived. His solution? Treat the candy like evidence in a murder investigation, complete with inventory sheets, individually numbered candy bars, and security cameras. There's just one problem with his plan: he's probably the prime suspect.

* The Future Has Arrived: Resealable Cereal Bags! — Forget flying cars and artificial intelligence. After more than 160 years, somebody finally figured out how to put a resealable bag inside a cereal box! Cheerios and Ziploc have teamed up to introduce the PantrySeal, and Prospector celebrates this technological breakthrough that probably should have happened decades ago.

* What Halloween Candy Do You Steal from the Kids? — Parents know the real reason to take the kids trick-or-treating: first dibs on the good stuff!

* Milwaukee Brewers' Timeless Tickets Pay Off! — Back in 2015, the Milwaukee Brewers sold $1,000 tickets that guaranteed fans seats at future games, including the World Series.

Because sometimes making your dog happy is the easiest way to make your own day better.

* Scranton's New Traffic Patterns Are Driving Prospector Crazy! — Downtown Scranton has new traffic patterns, and suddenly driving streets you've known for decades feels like taking your driver's license test all over again. Prospector tries to make sense of the changes while Kait wonders if he needs somebody riding shotgun with a clipboard to grade his driving.

* Prospector's Prank Call: The Sushi Roooolllll! — Prospector calls a restaurant to order a sushi roll, but there's a problem. He keeps stretching out the word "roll" longer and longer.

* Describe Your Life in 3 Songs! — If you had to tell the story of your entire life using just three songs, which ones would you choose?

Then listeners share the three songs that best describe their own lives, with some hilarious and surprisingly revealing choices.

* Prospector Needs a Team to Hate in the World Series! — Watching the World Series is a lot more fun when you've got somebody to root against. Prospector needs a villain, and he's trying to figure out which team deserves his hatred. Because sometimes having somebody to cheer against is even better than having somebody to cheer for!

* It's Back to the Future Day! — October 21 is the date Marty McFly traveled to in Back to the Future Part II. Remember all those futuristic inventions we thought we'd have by now? Flying cars, hoverboards, and robots doing all the housework? Prospector and Kait ask listeners what they were convinced would exist by now when they were kids.

* Halloween Shriekflation Is Here! — Halloween candy is getting smaller while prices keep climbing! It's called shriekflation, and your favorite treats are becoming a lot less satisfying for a lot more money. Prospector takes a look at shrinking candy bags, rising chocolate prices, and why filling the trick-or-treat bowl costs so much more than it used to.
