Much maligned New York Governor Andrew Cuomo didn't have time to change out of his custom-tailored suit and into his Super-Governor cape when he helped pull a man out from his crashed vehicle on Monday.  Video of the incident shows the Gov stepping in and assisting a man after his van cras…

I came across an article recently that featured a bunch of funny, clever, witty, and (slightly) offensive rejected NY vanity plates.  Turns out, people will go to great lengths to hide or mask their profanity by using backwards lettering and nondescript phrasing on their custom license plates in an …

The big guy, Papa Codes, (Harry is his actual name) freaking cracks me up.  Literally every time I call him, he asks me a thousand times if I can hear him. I always can hear him...always.  I don't understand it, but I love it.  Chrissy and I called him the other morning to try and get the latest new…

I woke up from a mid-afternoon nap to see yet a few more things that Governor Cuomo is banning, or least attempting to ban.  Vaping, plastic straws, plastic bags (to name a few) and now Styrofoam are all part of the Dandy Andy's plan.  It's a massive push to make New York a 'greener' state and I for…

It's been chronicled many times on the show that there's a divide in my parents household when it comes to politics. While Chrissy and I and the rest of the morning show playfully allows for each side to demonstrate their love (or disdain) for their political allegiance, a rather bizarre dream by Ma…

The ongoing political saga between Mama and Papa Codes and continues. The latest voicemail from my mom was to enlighten me about the latest heated argument they got into when simply getting a prescription filled at CVS proving once again that everything, and I mean everything, can spawn a war of wor…

It's no secret that my mom and dad are diametrically opposed politically.  It's not uncommon in most households for a couple to co-exist despite these differences, and my mom and dad are living proof of that.  However, as the political landscape continues to grow more and more co…

It's unlikely that you'll be seeing Governor Cuomo's face circulating on Tinder or Match.com in the near future but it is official; Andrew Cuomo is now a single man.   After 14 years with his longtime girlfriend Sandra Lee, the couple made it official today and told reporter…

Just when you thought that life in the Capital Region couldn't get any better, it was recently announced that we're getting an Exit 3.  Brian and Chrissy rejoiced in the news by singing a song about the 518's latest triumph!

Charlie Daniels is the 82-year-old country, bluegrass, Southern rock, old-school fiddlin' icon who hasn't lost a step when it comes to entertaining his fans, or entertaining his thoughts.  It's hard to believe that his country-crossover smash 'Devil Went Down To Georgia' is forty years old! We had t…

In case you somehow missed it (though it was all over the news and social media), the 'Simpsons' recently had an episode where it made fun of Upstate New York.  It even hit close to home, with Niskayuna making an appearance as part of the episode...

Cohoes Mayor Shawn Morse has been no stranger to our local newspapers since being elected back in 2015. While he's denied the allegations lobbied against during his term as a public official, things reached a boiling point this morning.  It's being reported that the Cohoes mayor was a…
