01-30: Unorthodox Orthodox Jewish Drug Crew. Is Michael Grimm Homophobic?

A drug crew in New York was very strict and some morals - they refused to sell their wares on Shabbat. Plus, were Congressman Michael Grimm's threats against reporter Michael Spotto homophobic in nature? One writer thinks so - but the Wise Guys staunchly disagree.

12-04: Squatter's Realty - Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers?

10-29: Facebook Users in the News. Banned Pasta Toppings (For Real?)

Facebook is in the news – because some of its users are generating controversy.

A judge has barred Samuel Hinkin from talking smack online about his mother. Plus, Texas Attorney General/gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott asked people how the state could run “even better.” Some of the answers are…well…Al & Chris have a few things to say.

Huffington Post ran a feature decrying certain pasta toppings including grilled chicken (the Wise Guys disagree!) and hot dogs (we love them – but not on pasta). Find out if some of your favorites made the list!

09-07: Pope Francis, Steroids, and a Beautiful Family Moment.

The Wise Guys tackle steroids and Ryan Braun, The Onion, Pope Francis and scalping tickets at church. Plus, Nicky gives his football picks and his daughter surprises him with a touching phone call! That and much more.

Suspended MLB player Ryan Braun is calling season ticket holders and apologizing for his "mistake" - you know, using banned substances. Is it a PR stunt or genuine? Plus, the Wise Guys - and their callers - discuss steroids in sports.

Nicky announced his football picks: Going by the point spread, Seattle, Dallas, and Oakland are his sure bets. Buffalo and St. Louis are also good bets. (Al picked the opposite!)

They put satirical newspaper The Onion on the Shelf for their tasteless ad poking fun of Subway restaurants - and 9/11.

Pope Francis preaches tolerance and acceptance - and even promised to baptize a single mother-to-be's child.

What is this craziness in the Catholic church?!

The guys are entertained by a Chris' tells about his father-in-law, Lefty, who tried to scalp tickets to high holy services at temple earlier in the week.

Finally, we invite you to watch a very special video at the bottom of this post. Delta Airlines - and several others, from what we can tell - honor America's fallen heroes who return home on their final flights.
