A Long Philadelphia Television Discussion

Today in Music History, including Don Henley’s birthday, the first anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne’s death and entries tied to Van Halen, AC/DC, Elvis Costello, Johnny Cash, The Doors, Vanilla Fudge, Rob Zombie and Woodstock ’99. Dawn then starts Dawn’s Big Three with storm cleanup and the Cape May tornado before the conversation widens into a long Philadelphia television discussion about Jacqueline London, Jim Gardner, Larry Kane, Bill Henley, Cecily Tynan, Karen Rogers, Sue Serio and the value of familiar local personalities. Dawn’s Big Three continues with item two: Philadelphia police seek two suspects who assault a customer outside a McDonald’s on Grays Ferry Avenue, take his food and attack him again when he confronts them. We watch the surveillance video, react to the bystander who steps in and call for tips that help police identify the pair. Item three centers on Tom Brady slapping Logan Paul at Fanatics Fest. We view the scene as likely pro-wrestling promotion, revisit Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler, debate whether Brady needs another spotlight after football and discuss reports that he is talking with WWE. The crew splits over whether a one-time wrestling appearance is harmless fun or an unnecessary move for the seven-time Super Bowl champion. We finish with a Families Behind the Badge salute to Berlin Borough Patrolman Dominic Hodson, who leaves a nearby traffic stop and helps deliver Taylor and Phil Durham’s baby in a Wawa parking lot. That prompts questions about childbirth training for police, Tony’s delivery-room experience and Nick’s juice-box exit during his daughter’s birth. The team’s Ben to the Shore total reaches $34,210, the crew plans how to carry the Kayal and Company flag, and Tony shares that his wife legally changes her name to Robin Bruno.
