Brian

Hey there! It's me, Brian. Since you're here, let me tell you a little about myself. I was born and raised in Albany and currently live there with my girlfriend Samantha and our two cute little doggies named Biggie and Tiny. Adding to the nuthouse is my son Brody who is growing up incredibly fast, but getting more and more talented, funny, and handsome by the day. I feel very lucky to be able to spend time with you in the morning making you laugh, making you think, and sometimes even making you a little angry. But man, it's a privilege to do the show each and every day with Chrissy. I enjoy writing and talking about all things sports, wildlife, Capital Region nostalgia, interesting local people, and any and all of the quirky things I observe while living in the 518.

Granville Mom-and-Pop Eatery Saved by Barstool Fund
Ask just about any owner of a local business and they'll be sure to tell you about the risk of simply staying in business during the pandemic.  The ever-changing mandates, rules, laws and uncertainty have left business owners with a very difficult call; do I stay open or shut it down?  There has, ho…
Escape Cabin Fever at Lake George Winterfest
Over the weekend me and my girlfriend Samantha decide to take my son Brody on a little day trip up to Lake George.  We didn't have much of plan, we just needed to get out of the dang house.  So we packed up Brody's sled, grabbed a few snacks for the road, jumped in the Jeep and headed up the Northwa…
New York Minimum Wage Gets New Year Boost
