I Joined John DeBella’s and Pierre Robert’s Final Crossover Show

Last week, I got to jump on-air with two of the biggest legends in radio history as John DeBella joined Pierre Robert on Friday for a special guest appearance on Pierre’s broadcast on WMMR!

I put on a few longer songs like Hotel California by the Eagles and Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, and left the WMGK studio for a bit and walked down the hall to join in on all the fun – and I bet you didn't even notice I was gone!

I was absolutely honored that Pierre put me on the air to chat about many of my memories with JDB throughout our years together on WMGK.

As all of you loyal listeners know, pretty much every day on the final segment of the JDB Show, I typically come in and we do a crossover for a few minutes, and throughout the years, we have had some pretty funny conversations. Plus, all the events we have done together, we have had a lot of fun, so it was nice to talk about some of them during the broadcast on Friday!

Funny enough, the broadcast on Friday was dubbed “The Final Crossover” because like what John and I have done for many years now on WMGK, JDB and Pierre used to do for years when JDB was with WMMR and his old show, The Morning Zoo, led right into Pierre’s show.

Both of them reminisced on many of their shared stories from those days – though, sometimes they remember things a little differently, so luckily the other was there to correct parts of the story if the other forgot bits and pieces!

Altogether, the entire episode lasted over three hours on WMMR, but it could have gone on for days and you would not even have been bored because it was that entertaining!

I wasn’t the only guest to join the show either!

The great Kevin Gunn who was the producer on The Morning Zoo and is still currently at WMMR also joined in on the fun!

By the way, Kevin wrote a great piece previewing the broadcast if you want to check it out, here!

Also, I can’t forget to give a shout-out to my buddy Pancake who does an amazing job as the producer for Pierre and especially for keeping the show on track on Friday! He really is awesome at his job.

Anyway, thanks to both Pierre and JDB for letting me hop on with you guys!

More from Matt Cord...

As we all know, Sunday was Father’s Day and I am sure a lot of you guys all got together with your dads and maybe barbecued, enjoyed a nice cold adult beverage or two, and maybe even enjoyed the final round of this year’s U.S. Open, but I did something a little different!

I actually went on a really fun 30-mile bike ride with the girlfriend, my good friend Chris Bozzi, and his 85-year-old dad, Nick!

Can you believe it?

Going on a 30-mile bike ride at the age of 85 years old? It was incredible!

We drove down to Delaware City and rode a beautiful trail called the C&D Canal Bike Trail.

It really is just a gorgeous bike trail that rides along the Delaware Canal and even stretches over multiple states as it starts in Delaware City, Delaware, and ends in Chesapeake City, Maryland.

In total, it stretches 30 miles from one end to the other and back again, and that seems like a lot when you say it out loud, but the trail is so scenic you almost lose track of time and the distance you are going to begin with, to be honest.

Plus, the best part about the trail, especially if you work up an appetite on your ride or walk, is that there is a nice restaurant and bar at the halfway point called Schaefer's Restaurant & Canal Bar, and you better believe we stopped there for a great lunch on our ride!

The trail was great, the lunch was even better, and you could not have asked for better weather on Sunday, so ultimately it was a great day – so much so that I figured I would share a bunch of photos and a video for you all to enjoy as well!
