Your Pal Al

Your Pal, Al is the unpredictable, unapologetically off-the-cuff podcast you didn't know you needed. Hosted by Alan Knight, radio veteran, storyteller, and certified "insanity whisperer," this show is part therapy session, part time capsule, and all heart.With over six decades of stories (and counting), Al brings you a whirlwind ride of laughter, loss, ridiculous moments, and real talk. From the absurd to the emotional, nothing's rehearsed and nothing's off-limits. One minute he's stretching a two-minute story into a full-blown monologue masterpiece; the next, he's reminding you that your problems might not be so bad after all. Expect spontaneous contests (like a cash prize for the best logo idea...no, seriously), surprise guests (including his 89-year-old mother, if he can book her), and a rotating cast of callers dialing into the Your Pal, Al hotline: (954) 294-0774. Got a story, an opinion, or just want to hear yourself on air? Al's your guy. It's nostalgic but refreshing, heartfelt

    Ep. 8 - Left Lane Lunatics, Lip Tattoos & Narcissists: The Real Florida

    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.Got a story, opinion, or bitch-gripe-complaint of your own?

    Ep. 7 - Plungers, Ketchup Packets & Cheating Exes: The Chaos of Dating in 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.📞 Got a story? Call 954-294-0774 — you could win a gift card to Mississippi Sweets Barbecue.

    Ep. 6 - Dink Life, Devil Talk & the Ten-Baby Syndrome

    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.📞 Got a story, a gripe, or just want to say "Geranimals"?

    Ep. 5 - Family Secrets, Florida Chaos & Bruno Mars Dreams

    SHOW NOTESFlorida 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.

    Ep. 4 - Love Child

    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.Have a story? Call us: 954-294-0774

    Your Pal Al Ep. 5 - Where Did We Lose It?

    Al's back for episode five and he's got a lot on his mind. This week he's sounding off on the slow disappearance of mutual respect in America — from people who can't put down their shrimp long enough for the national anthem, to friends who are too afraid to disagree on politics without ending the friendship. A call from fellow podcaster Richard Marks of Mixed Nuts Nation turns into a lively debate on civility, generational decline, and whether we've all just lost the plot. Then Al does something no podcast has ever done quite like this — he calls his 89-year-old mom live on air just to see what she had for dinner and lock in Sunday bagels and lox. Equal parts rant, philosophy, and genuine heart, episode five is Al at his most Al. Leave him a message, suggest a topic, or volunteer to be a guest: 954-294-0774.

    Your Pal Al Ep. 4 - Radio Days, Real Talk, and Riding the Wave

    Al Knight is joined in studio by South Florida radio legend Trish Murray for an unplanned, unfiltered reunion that feels like no time has passed at all. They dive into their shared history at Sunny 104.3, get a surprise call from award-winning program director Les Jacoby, and riff on everything from the death of mainstream media to psychic readings in a Ford Explorer. Plus: regenerative medicine, Kid Rock's abs, a live call to Al's 89-year-old mom, and a heartfelt case for why podcasting is the new radio. Broadcasting live from South Florida — where stop signs are just suggestions.

    Your Pal Al Ep. 3 - Issues, Tissues & The State of the Union

    Al flies solo this episode, and his brain is running at full speed. Starting with a simple conversation about whether friends can disagree on politics without destroying the friendship, Al spirals — in the best way — through patriotism, the Pledge of Allegiance, the State of the Union, people eating shrimp during the national anthem at a Florida Panthers game, and the college students who gave their opinions on a presidential address the day before it happened.Midway through, he gets a surprise call-in from Richard Marks of the Mixed Nuts Nation podcast, who opens with a joke so bad his own wife told him not to use it. They manage to find some common ground on civility, the greatest generation, and what gets lost when trust stops passing between generations.Al also tackles honesty, lies, broken hearts, the superpower he actually wants (hint: it's not flying), and the story of a little girl who prayed for a bicycle and got the most unexpectedly wise answer of all time.And yes — he calls his mom. Fish, okra, salad, and ice cream. Sunday plans for bagels and lox. The usual. The irreplaceable.More questions than answers, more heart than he'll admit.

    Your Pal Al Ep. 2 - Radio Days with Trish Murray

    Al Knight is joined in studio by a familiar voice from South Florida radio royalty — Trish Murray, longtime air personality at Sunny 104.3, News Channel 5, and now owner of both a real estate company and a regenerative medicine practice. The two pick up right where they left off decades ago, like no time has passed at all.In this episode, Al and Trish reminisce about the golden age of broadcast radio in West Palm Beach, the late-night love song shows, and the wild personalities that made it all work — including a surprise phone call from their legendary former program director, Les Jacoby, who was named PD of the Year in the country. They debate the two-gender dropdown box at the doctor's office, marvel at RFK Jr.'s abs, and get surprisingly deep on why podcasting — not mainstream media — is where real conversations are happening now.Trish drops some astrology wisdom about a once-in-250-years planetary alignment, opens up about a 15-year relationship that went down in flames, and somehow still manages to end the whole thing on a positive note. Al, as always, calls his mom.Two radio dinosaurs. Zero filters. One very good time.

    Your Pal Al Ep. 1 - Movie Theaters, Memories, and Mom

    Al Knight kicks off his very first episode of Your Pal Al with the kind of rambling, heartfelt honesty that'll make you feel like you've known him for years. A 62-year-old South Florida radio veteran with nearly four decades behind the mic, Al uses this podcast as his therapy — and yours. This week, he takes a trip down memory lane to the golden age of movie theaters: one screen, a thousand seats, sticky floors, and a tub of popcorn gone before the opening credits. He reflects on what we've lost in the age of streaming, cell phones, and 27-screen multiplexes where nothing's worth seeing.Along the way, Al shares the story of his first movie (Bedknobs and Broomsticks, 1971), riffs on stepfather Ivan the Terrible, makes the case for professional jurors, and reminds us why the small moments — like calling your 89-year-old mom while she's brushing her teeth — are the ones worth holding onto.Equal parts nostalgia, comedy, and genuine warmth, Your Pal Al is the podcast for anyone who's ever thought, "at least I'm not him" — and meant it as a compliment.
