S5.E97: Late Start, Short Week, Building for Sale, Scooby Doo Goes LIVE, GBB Wins, BBB Still Undefeated

Good morning, Woodland! Jumping into the action this February 18th, and even though we’re on the backup camera because of a missing computer, we are ready to roll! The headline of the day: the Woodland Dance Team has officially been crowned the 2026 NVL champions! We’re also celebrating our top scholars, Valedictorian Genevieve Bandanza and Salutatorian Emma Bunk. Over in sports, the boys’ basketball team just capped off an undefeated regular season, while the girls secured a thrilling win over St. Paul to land their spot in the state tournament.

Brace yourselves for a fast-moving storm this Friday that could bring anything from sleet to the "apocalypse". We started late, but we’re finishing strong—see you tomorrow, Woodland!

S5.E96: Anti-Valentines Day, Sound Issues, NASA Phub, European Catholic Priest Futsal Championship, Basketball Remains Undefeated

The Woodland morning crew navigated a Thursday "squall" of technical chaos that would make a NASA engineer sweat. Kicking things off --audio was completely garbled, a moment Tomlin affectionately dubbed "riveting radio". Despite the silence, Decker insisted his unrecorded segments were "gold," lamenting that listeners missed his most "witty" material while he essentially performed for no one. The absurdity peaked when Tomlin reported that NASA astronauts would soon be allowed to "phub"—or phone snub—their colleagues while in orbit. This sparked immediate envy in the studio; the hosts were baffled that astronauts could potentially stream Ted Lasso while orbiting the moon, yet they couldn't even get reliable on WiFi Earth. Whether discussing the "European Cup" of Catholic priest soccer or the perils of "Anti-Valentine’s Day" breakup movies, the crew remained undeterred by their malfunctioning equipment. They closed the show with plans to take their "Morning Mayhem" on the road to the middle school, hopefully finding a place where the microphones—and the internet—actually worked.

S5.E95: Grape Colors, Oranges, Cartoons, Moon City, Maryland and Honduras Change Flags, Basketball Still Unbeaten

The local airwaves sizzled this morning as the "Morning Mayhem" crew took listeners on a wild ride through color theory and international headlines. In a segment that felt like a "Deep Thoughts" revival, host Amato sparked a hilarious debate over the true identity of a grape. While grapes are technically green or red, the team pondered why "grape-colored" jelly is always purple—specifically "Grimace purple". They even explored the etymology of "orange," noting that the fruit actually named the color. The conversation turned nostalgic when discussing the death of Saturday morning cartoons, replaced by kids staring at tablets waiting for parental locks to click. Meanwhile, Tomlin’s news desk delivered global gems, from Somalia’s first modern bowling alley to the high cost of Maine potentially changing its state flag. Sports guru Decker rounded out the hour, celebrating the Woodland boys’ basketball victory over Ansonia. With an undefeated showdown against North Haven on the horizon, the energy is electric. The hosts' final advice? Go see what color your grapes are and stay tuned for more Woodland updates
