Full Show For Friday August 14 2026

Dawn is off, so we load up a Friday with Tony Bruno, Shawn Farash and Greg Stocker alongside Nick Kayal. We open with an Arizona dodgeball assault case, Upper Merion’s data-center fight, Whole Foods’ jalapeño recall, the national cyclosporiasis surge, a Bucks County hot-car case and nearly 30 dead dogfish in Sea Isle City. Phil Almquist gives us the Phillies’ Field of Dreams win behind Kyle Schwarber and Aaron Nola, the Sixers’ 34 national-telecast schedule, and the Eagles’ preseason opener against Baltimore. Then we put Iran at the center of the Big Take. We hammer the continuing press outrage over Donald Trump’s secret aircraft switch, debate who gets priority when presidential security is at stake, and turn to the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. naval blockade, gas prices and the political cost of a conflict with no quick finish. Tony and Shawn push the media argument further before the morning veers into frozen Ellio’s, sushi, childhood independence, UFC 330, the Air Force One security leak, Dollar Tree assault allegations, ICE shock gloves, a DSA police-and-prisons debate, JD Vance on affordability and RFK Jr. on Trump’s fast-food habits. We finish with a Michigan tubing rescue, Fight Club and a hockey self-KO, Miss Universe Canada’s appropriation dispute, Michigan’s freshman grading change, Mike Rowe on trades, grocery costs and Today in Music History. Dawn’s Big Three stays on the board even with Dawn off: we hit Luigi Mangione’s expected plea, Matt Rooney on New Jersey’s No. 2 ranking, Florida flying-car testing, a stolen Honda whose parts surface on Facebook Marketplace, the Gina LaPlaca/Jason Carty petition case, the Sea Isle dogfish story, the McKenna West surrogate dispute, New Jersey voter-registration questions and charges tied to vandalism at the World War II Memorial.
