On this episode:

• Go or No Go — Labor Day weekend is packed around NEPA, so we sort through what's happening and help you decide what's worth a Go and what's a definite No Go.

• Prospector’s Rant — Prospector has something bothering him again. Shocking, we know. This week's target gets the full Rant treatment.

• inTEXTicated — actual drunken texts from people who had access to a phone long after they should've lost texting privileges.

• The Brighter Side of Prospector — we briefly interrupt the complaining and stupidity to prove that good people are still out there doing good things.

PLUS TWO BONUS SEGMENTS THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT ON THE SHOW:

• Top Five Ways to Make Your Home a 10 — the average homeowner may not think their house is perfect, but Prospector has five easy home-improvement ideas that should absolutely never appear on HGTV.

• “It’s a Three Day Weekend” — our special song for the Labor Day holiday weekend, celebrating that wonderful feeling when Sunday night arrives and you suddenly remember: you don't have to go to work tomorrow.

• Prospector’s Yambag of the Week

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

On today’s episode:

• Dancing With the Stars... Stars? — the new cast has been announced, which raises the annual question: How far are we stretching the word “stars” this year? Prospector takes a look at the celebrity lineup and tries to figure out who actually qualifies.

• When Is Summer Really Over? — forget what the calendar says. Everybody has their own unofficial sign that summer is finished. Is it Labor Day? The kids going back to school? La Festa packing up? Or are you hanging onto summer until somebody physically takes the lawn chair away from you?

• Prospector’s Prank Call — a woman gets some exciting news: she's won a free hot air balloon ride! There's just one little catch. Before she gets her prize, Prospector explains that she'll have to work for the balloon company for the day. Somehow, “free” keeps requiring more and more labor.

On today’s episode:

• The Things Prospector Believes — another collection of Prospector’s odd thoughts, observations, and personal truths. Nobody asked for them. That has never stopped him before.

• Woofer Wednesday — we recently learned that some ROCK 107 listeners leave the station on for their dogs while they're at work. So today, Prospector officially says good morning to the four-legged members of the ROCK 107 audience and even delivers a special message just for them. 🐶

• The Record You Wish You Still Had — everybody who collected records has one. The album you sold, gave away, loaned to somebody who never returned it, or watched your mother throw away. We hear from listeners about the record that disappeared from their collection and still bothers them years later.

On today’s episode:

• Prospector’s Picky Pet Peeves — another round of little things that shouldn't make Prospector this angry, but absolutely do.

• The Brighter Side of Prospector — a woman was dumpster diving behind a pizza place looking for something to eat. Instead of chasing her away, the restaurant stepped in and offered to feed her. Even Prospector has to admit there are still some pretty good people out there.

• World Chess Day — we celebrate the game where two people can sit completely silent for four hours and somehow one of them is aggressively attacking the other. Plus, the exciting play-by-play that chess has been missing.

• Am I a Jerk? — Prospector is having lunch with his wife when a worker in the diner starts whistling. Loudly. Constantly. It drives him nuts, so he walks over and politely asks the guy to stop. Was Prospector justified in asking for a little peace, or is telling somebody not to whistle while they're working a jerk move?

On today’s episode:

• Classic Rock Video Game — we put your classic rock knowledge to the test with Goo Goo Dolls tickets on the line.

• What School Lunch Food Did You Hate? — packed lunch or cafeteria tray, everybody remembers at least one food that could ruin the entire school day. NEPA remembers the mystery meat, soggy vegetables, questionable sandwiches, and whatever your parents kept putting in your lunch even after you begged them to stop.

• The Brighter Side of Prospector — against all odds, Prospector finds something positive to say.

• Top 5 Back to School Tips for Parents — the kids are heading back to school, so Prospector offers parents the kind of advice you definitely won't find in the school district handbook.

• Wile E. Coyote Finally Wins — Coyote vs. Acme is a hit, proving that after decades of falling off cliffs, getting flattened by anvils, and having ACME products explode in his face, the Coyote finally had a plan that worked.

• Prospector’s Prank Call — Prospector calls a woman who's selling bunk beds and sounds genuinely interested in buying them. The beds aren't really the problem. Prospector is much more interested in finding out whether she'll babysit his kids while she's at it.

On today’s episode:

• Go or No Go — Labor Day weekend is closing in, and there's plenty happening around NEPA. We run through your weekend options and help you decide what's worth leaving the house for.

• inTEXTicated — another batch of drunken texts from people whose phones really should come with a breathalyzer.

• Prospector’s Rant: Summer Is NOT Over Yet — everybody needs to stop trying to kill summer early. The pools are still open. The calendar still says August. Yet somehow we're surrounded by pumpkin spice, Halloween decorations, and people acting like it's time to put on a hoodie. Prospector refuses to surrender what's left of summer just because retail stores have moved on to October.

On today’s episode:

• Your Whole Life Is a Lie — remember being told that one dog year equals seven human years? Yeah... that's bunk. We destroy another perfectly good piece of knowledge you've been carrying around since childhood.

• Your Toilet Paper Could Be Getting More Expensive — a trade war with Canada could mean higher prices for toilet paper in the U.S. Of all the places for international diplomacy to hit us, apparently it's coming for the bathroom.

• Famous People DO NOT Die in Threes — Prospector has ranted about this for years, and he's doing it again. Why are we so determined to find a pattern every time celebrities die close together? We get into our love of patterns, the Rule of Three, and the confirmation bias that keeps this myth alive.

• Prospector’s Prank Call — a guy joins a recreational basketball league and learns that everybody gets a funny nickname on the back of their jersey. Prospector has already picked his: “Lar Dos.” Sounds innocent enough... until you say it out loud.

• The Things Prospector Believes — the weird thoughts in Prospector’s head that often get him in trouble.

• National Dog Day — what's something you do for your dog today that 10 or 20 years ago you would've called completely ridiculous? Special food? Strollers? Birthday parties? Letting the dog take up 80% of a king-size bed? Listeners confess just how far they've gone for their four-legged family members.

• The Owner of the 49ers Gets Arrested — when you're a billionaire, there are probably a million different ways to get yourself into trouble. Apparently one of them involves $140 and an Ohio trailer park.

• Am I a Jerk? — Prospector's stepdaughter lives behind the radio station, so while the boss was out of town, he told her she should park in the boss's parking spot. She did. Now coworkers are trying to figure out whose mystery car is sitting there, the boss wants answers, and Prospector isn't saying a word. Was this harmless fun... or did Prospector create an office mystery that's gone far enough?

• Prospector’s Prank Call — Prospector calls a woman with an offer that's hard to refuse: a free dinner. There's just one tiny catch. Before she gets her meal, she has to make 20 more dinners for us to sell. Somehow "free" keeps getting more expensive.
