The National Enquirer features a story on Danny Bonaduce's "rock bottom" fall from child stardom to becoming a radio DJ.

The hosts credit a specific episode of the animated series Family Guy, featuring the "Weenie and the Butt" radio parody, as a major influence on the show's aesthetic. They play a clip of the parody, which mocks the content-free "Morning Zoo" radio format of the 1980s and 90s. This satire led to the adoption of the "In the Morning" catchphrase and the use of various sound effects to pace the show.

Harold Camping, an 89-year-old civil engineer and minister, predicted the biblical Rapture would occur on May 21, 2011.

Following the failed prediction, reports surfaced of an 8.4 magnitude earthquake in Libya on Friday that was allegedly scrubbed from international seismic monitoring websites.
