What The Florida?

Alan Knight and Trish Murray are back with another unscripted episode of What the Florida, and it goes everywhere. They start with the glamour that air travel used to have, from smoking on Pan Am flights to TSA PreCheck, then get to the Miami airport story of a traveler arrested for smuggling live birds from Cuba in specially sewn underwear pockets. They also talk Wagyu steaks, pricey candles, and a $350 bottle of perfume, along with Florida nostalgia like Carvel and Cookie Puss.

The episode also gets serious about the rise of scams targeting seniors. Trish shares a close call with her 84-year-old mother, and Alan talks about work with Paradise Bank and the FBI to teach people how to spot spoofed calls, fake bank and law enforcement calls, and Uber courier schemes. They also read a listener email about cheating and love, and give their advice.

Plus, Trish announces “Laugh at the Half,” a mindset check on reacting versus responding, a surprise call-in from Dr. Doug Barlow ahead of a Dolphins game, and a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Mississippi Sweets Barbecue.

Listeners can call or text 954-294-0774 or email [email protected]. What the Florida records live every Thursday at 6 p.m. Eastern.

Two exes, one Wagyu dinner, and a data breach. Just another week in South Florida.

Alan Knight and Trish Murray return after a few weeks off to cover the reported Florida DMV hack, what a credit freeze actually does, and their shared suspicion that fear is the most effective control mechanism anyone's ever invented. They get into the dark web, the Simpsons, weather manipulation, media propaganda, and why neither of them takes anything at face value anymore.

Then the conversation turns personal: phone dependence, Trish's dinner party that produced two identical text messages the next day, Alan's Dr. Pepper problem, the St. Louis Arch, and a genuinely useful argument about why the rearview mirror is smaller than the windshield.

Laugh at the Half is coming October 15th at 12:30 PM — raise the frequency.

This week on What the Florida, Alan Knight and Trish Murray welcome a very special guest: Trish's lifelong best friend, Shannon K. Favoli — real estate pro at The Breakers and wife of longtime Palm Beach news legend John Favoli. It's an hour of pure, unscripted Florida chaos: stories of dancing on the bar at the original Bradley's (with Rod Stewart, Donald Trump, and JFK Jr. allegedly in the room), a starstruck run-in with Erykah Badu on Miami Beach, a Disney World rant about Song of the South and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, and the unforgettable tale of how Shannon met her husband — twice honeymooning without knowing where she was going. Add in some Tony Siragusa casino drama, a debate over blondes vs. brunettes, and a very NSFW nickname for Steve Perry, and you've got a classic episode of What the Florida: three friends, zero filter, and the state that never stops delivering.

Trish Murray called in sick, so this week it's Alan Knight flying solo on What the Florida — and he's got a story that needs telling. Alan recaps his weekend road trip to Gainesville for an old friend's birthday that turned into an unplanned overnight stay, a visit to the psychic hotspot of Cassadaga, and a payment dispute with a tarot reader that spirals into a genuinely wild text exchange.

Along the way, Alan reflects on honesty, integrity, and what it really means to make things right with people — plus a candid, funny, and surprisingly moving detour into calling his 90-year-old mother mid-podcast, just to say hello.

Also in this episode:

As always, WTF (What the Florida) blends humor, heart, and Alan's unmistakable South Florida energy into a conversation that's part therapy session, part stand-up bit, part love letter to the people who make life worth talking about.

Alan Knight and Trish Murray are back after a scheduling scramble, and they're picking up right where South Florida chaos left off. This episode kicks off with a full-throated rant about I-95 driving etiquette (and Trish's second trip through driving school), then spirals into a wild-ranging conversation covering Elon Musk's "X" obsession and Mars ambitions, a real Florida traffic stop involving movie-prop Scud missiles, and theories about who really runs the world.

From there, things get personal — and heavy. Trish opens up about her recent breakup, narcissistic abuse, and the arrest that came out of it, offering a raw, honest look at gaslighting and how hard it is to see toxic patterns from the inside. Alan shares his plans for an upcoming psilocybin retreat and reflects on PTSD, family history, and the search for deeper meaning. Along the way: peacocks, fresh lip tattoos, Amsterdam tattoo mishaps, strip club road trips, and a debate about whether celebrities should keep their political opinions to themselves.

It's equal parts comedy, conspiracy, and genuine vulnerability — classic What the Florida.

Alan and Trish are back with another unfiltered, unscripted ride through the absurdity of life in Florida. This week: the internet's most brutal chocolate-pudding prank, why "dating sucks right now," and the emotional whiplash of loving someone who turns out to be married (or cheating... or both). They swap stories of betrayal and rebuilding, debate the plural of "ketchup," argue about hot dogs vs. buns, and somehow end up talking Hitler, Jonestown, and Blake Shelton in the same breath. Oh — and they're launching "Laugh at the Half," a global laughter movement on October 15th at 12:30pm benefiting St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Grab your headphones, brace yourself, and just laugh with them. That's What the Florida.

Al and Trish are back — and this time they're addressing the haters (well, one concerned listener) head-on. A fan named Sarah wrote in worried the duo shares a little too much about their personal lives, from dinner tabs to seventh-row concert seats. Naturally, Al and Trish respond by... sharing even more.

This episode careens from Ambien-fueled FaceTime marathons to a daycare vomit story that somehow leads to an elephant-print underwear gift, then pivots (as WTF does) into a surprisingly heartfelt debate about equality, patriotism, and whether the world lost its sense of community somewhere between social media and reality TV. There's a tearjerker about a kind Uber driver, a pitch for a global "laugh at noon" holiday (mark your calendars: October 15th), a detour into Bohemian Grove conspiracy theories, and a live on-air call to Al's 90-year-old mom that goes about as well as you'd expect.

Oh, and yes — they finally reveal who's joining them as a guest next week.

Equal parts chaos, comfort, and questionable spiritual philosophy. Grab a drink, buckle up, and remember: laughter raises the vibration of the planet.

SHOW NOTES

Florida never disappoints—and neither do Trish Murray and Alan Knight.

In this episode of What the Florida?!, the duo dives into everything from alligator attacks and shark fears to unforgettable casino adventures, Bruno Mars concert plans, and the unexpected twists that make life in the Sunshine State anything but ordinary.

Along the way, Trish shares the emotional story of discovering a long-hidden family secret, Alan recounts his casino comeback after a rough start, and the two swap hilarious stories about travel, dating, dancing, dreams, and the everyday moments that somehow only seem to happen in Florida.

If it's weird, wild, or wonderfully unexpected... it's probably happening in Florida.

At 55 years old, Trish Murray's 84-year-old mother sat her down and dropped a bombshell: the man she'd called her father her whole life wasn't her biological father. Her real dad? A world-renowned German saxophonist who played alongside Nat King Cole and the great big bands — and who passed away in 1995, never knowing Trish existed. Three weeks later, she's already connected with a half-brother she never knew, and says she's not the same person she was.

Alan and Trish unpack that revelation alongside a free-ranging conversation about why people stopped communicating, what dual-income families did to the kids who raised themselves, and whether love really is the answer to everything (spoiler: Alan's skeptical, Trish is not). Recorded live at Pod Populi in downtown Boca Raton, this one gets real fast — and never quite comes back down.

What happens when two former radio personalities turn on the microphones with absolutely no script, no plan, and no filter?

This episode of What the Florida?! goes completely off the rails—in the best possible way.

Alan Knight and Trish Murray bounce from childhood memories of Photo Mats, Cracker Jack prizes, and Denny's at 3 a.m. to stories about radio careers, celebrity encounters, old concerts, Ambien adventures, shark attacks, sports heartbreak, and the increasingly strange state of modern society.

Along the way, they discuss:

• Why today's Cracker Jack prizes are a national disappointment
• The biggest NBA comeback and the bet that got away
• Growing up with radio, Adam-12, and elevator operators
• Concert memories featuring Heart, Don Rickles, and Edwin McCain
• Why Alan refuses to park his nice car in South Florida parking lots
• Roller coasters, Jaws, and irrational fears
• The mystery of the infamous "clacking balls" toy
• Why manners seem to be disappearing—and whether they're making a comeback
• Shark attacks in Florida waters
• The dangers of Ambien Hour phone calls
• Why Denny's remains a sacred institution after midnight

As always, the conversation zigzags through nostalgia, current events, personal stories, and the uniquely bizarre moments that make you stop and say:

"What the Florida?!"
