The Ethan, Lou & Large Dave Show

The Ethan, Lou & Large Dave Show is the No. 1 morning show in the Greater Danbury market, airing every weekday from 5:30 AM to 10:00 AM on the legendary Home of Rock & Roll, i95 WRKI-FM. Ethan Carey and Lou Milano are live and local, bringing comedy and insight to each day's most relevant stories from Connecticut and bordering New York.

This morning, Ethan and Lou sat down with Tom Bass.

This morning, Ethan and Lou sat down with John Kaiser.

A Burger King employee was filmed by a customer, Shavelle Devine, wearing blackface on Halloween while working at the drive-thru in a now-viral video. Tech reporter Erin Griffith explained how being nice to A.I. could help make better responses from A.I. chatbots. There was a protest in Boston recently against Liberty Biberty, the Liberty Mutual mascot. Dozens of people showed up, and the 19-year-old organizer said, "This is a revolution, this is the next Boston Tea Party." A British man named Karl Bushby has finished a 28-year, 31,000-mile walk around world. There's a new app that allows you to sue anyone in minutes for under $30. There has been a movement online where women are saying they won't be letting their men play "Grand Theft Auto VI" when it comes out.

Lou is apparently taking the news of Sydney Sweeney dating music executive Scooter Braun pretty hard. He's aggravated by the pairing, and he and Dave spend some time imagining what would happen if Lou ever found himself face-to-face with Sydney and decided to shoot his shot. They game out how that interaction might go, what Lou would say, and whether he has even the slightest chance of making an impression. Let's just say Dave has some thoughts about Lou's chances.

Five people in North Carolina reportedly suffered chemical burns after drinking margaritas at a Chili's restaurant. The drinks had been rimmed with what employees believed was sugar, but the white granulated substance turned out to be something else entirely. Instead of enjoying a night out with a few margaritas, these customers ended up needing medical attention. That's one way to ruin happy hour.

A popular Twitch streamer named Lacy got hit with a restaurant bill totaling roughly $12,000 while livestreaming his trip to Japan. Here's how it happened: viewers watching his stream apparently spotted a QR code that allowed them to place orders at the restaurant. They decided to have some fun at Lacy's expense and started ordering food and drinks under his name. By the time the damage was done, the streamer was staring at a bill that would make even the most expensive dinner in Tokyo look reasonable. Apparently, some viewers will do just about anything for a laugh, especially when somebody else is picking up the tab.

And finally, a luxury cruise promising passengers the trip of a lifetime has come to an abrupt and rather unfortunate end. The so-called never-ending cruise was supposed to visit 147 countries over the course of three years, allowing passengers to essentially live aboard a ship while traveling the world. Instead, after 756 days at sea, the journey came to a sudden stop in Cambodia, leaving passengers stranded. The company's founder says skyrocketing fuel prices ultimately pushed the operation into bankruptcy. So much for the three-year adventure. Imagine signing up to see 147 countries and finding out your world cruise is over with nearly a year left to go.

A former NASA astronaut has a pretty interesting theory about UFOs. He believes these mysterious objects aren't aliens visiting Earth, but demons trying to distract us from God. So, apparently, we're not dealing with little green men from another planet. We're dealing with something a whole lot more biblical.

Halloween is tomorrow, and if you're still putting together a costume, we've got a quick and cheap way to make yourself look like you've been through something truly horrifying. You can make realistic-looking fake blood using just two ingredients: Karo syrup and food coloring. It's an inexpensive way to take your Halloween costume to the next level without spending a fortune on special effects makeup.

Meanwhile, a woman traveling through Washington Dulles International Airport got an unexpected look at just how questionable some public restroom designs can be. She posted a video on TikTok showing a janitor changing the toilet paper in the stall next to hers. The problem? While doing his job, the worker exposed a massive opening between the two stalls, leaving him with a clear view of the woman while she was sitting on the toilet. That's not exactly the kind of airport experience anybody is looking for. You expect a little privacy in a bathroom, but apparently, that's asking too much at Dulles.

And finally, a contestant on Wheel of Fortune managed to bring some bathroom humor to the bonus round. While attempting to solve the final puzzle, the contestant somehow tried to work the word "poop" into the answer. It's not exactly the kind of vocabulary you expect to hear during a prime-time game show, but when you're under pressure with thousands of dollars on the line, apparently, anything can happen. Unfortunately, knowing the word "poop" doesn't necessarily mean you're going to solve the puzzle.

A fishing company shared video of a woman hanging off the side of a boat, reaching down and attempting to pet a great white shark. Because apparently looking at one of the ocean's most dangerous predators from a safe distance just isn't exciting enough.

A truck driver in Philadelphia woke up to discover that thieves had made off with 3,000 pounds of crab legs from the truck he was sleeping in. That's a whole lot of seafood, and apparently, the thieves weren't interested in leaving him a little something for breakfast.

Route 66 was once one of America's most famous highways, but today, stretches of the historic roadway are lined with shuttered businesses, abandoned motels, and reminders of a bygone era. So what killed the legendary highway? The expansion of the interstate system gave travelers faster, more convenient routes, leaving many of the communities along Route 66 struggling to survive.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence is opening up about childbirth and discussing one part of the female body that doesn't necessarily bounce back after having a baby. It's an honest conversation about the physical changes that can come with motherhood.

A Florida man reportedly offered to plead guilty to murder in exchange for a Philadelphia cheesesteak, french fries, and a Pepsi. That's one oddly specific last meal request, although we're not sure the justice system is supposed to operate like a fast-food drive-thru.

And finally, Nicolas Cage is taking on the role of legendary football coach and broadcaster John Madden in an upcoming movie. Early looks at Cage in character have people talking, and between the appearance and the voice, it's certainly a performance that's getting some attention. Whether he pulls it off remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure: Nicolas Cage playing John Madden is not something you see every day.

As I-95 gets ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary on December 24, 2026, the boys are taking a trip down memory lane with some familiar faces. Throughout the anniversary celebration, Ethan, Lou, and Large Dave are catching up with friends and former colleagues to share stories, revisit memorable moments, and look back at the people who helped make I-95 what it is today.

This morning, Ethan, Lou and Dave sat down with Al Tacca and Taryn Donnarumo. They swapped stories, reminisced about the old days, and reflected on the experiences that come with being part of the Home of Rock and Roll. With five decades of history behind the station, there are plenty of memories worth revisiting, and you can bet a few laughs along the way are guaranteed.

This morning, Ethan, Lou and Dave sat down with Jim Schultz who did Middays at I-95 in the early days at the Stone House. They swapped stories, reminisced about the old days, and reflected on the experiences that come with being part of the Home of Rock and Roll. With five decades of history behind the station, there are plenty of memories worth revisiting, and you can bet a few laughs along the way are guaranteed.

Lou and Large Dave are cooking up a plan to take the I-95 listeners on a field trip to Mr. Happy's Gentleman's Club in Waterbury. What could possibly go wrong? We're still in the early planning stages, but this could turn into an adventure nobody forgets!

Wrestling legend Ric Flair is back at his favorite bar in Tampa after suffering a nasty fall that left him with damaged teeth and a fractured eye socket. The Nature Boy has certainly taken his share of punishment over the years, but apparently, he's not ready to slow down just yet. Woooo!

Connecticut's own Joey Logano also had a wild ride, surviving a frightening wreck at Talladega. The NASCAR driver's car was caught up in a spectacular crash, but thankfully, he made it out alive. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be inside one of those cars when things go sideways, this is a pretty good reminder of just how dangerous racing can be.

Meanwhile, things got tense on the Brooklyn set of the upcoming movie Miami Vice '85, starring Michael B. Jordan. A 23-year-old man allegedly showed up and threatened a crew member with a butcher knife. That's certainly one way to make an already busy movie set even more stressful.

Over in San Francisco, a strip club has become part of a public health investigation following concerns about a possible tuberculosis exposure. Health officials are looking into the situation as they work to determine whether anyone may have been exposed.

A Scottish man named Craig Vass is also making headlines after some neighbors complained that his Texas Chainsaw Massacre-inspired Halloween display is simply too frightening. Vass isn't backing down, though. He says, "the kids around here would be disappointed if I didn’t put on a scary show at Halloween." Honestly, if you're going to decorate for Halloween, you might as well commit to the bit!

And finally, a small town in Colorado is considering installing gates to stop outsiders from driving through. Residents apparently want to keep traffic from cutting through their community, but they're not thrilled with how a Denver television station has covered the situation. It sounds like this little town would prefer to keep both the traffic and the media at a distance!
