Although summer does not officially end until later on in the month on September 23rd, it always feels like a new chapter starts the Tuesday after Labor Day. Well, not only did a new unofficial chapter start yesterday for the rest of the world, but one started for me personally and for WMGK as a whole as well. The new morning show on the station officially made its debut yesterday morning – The Matt Cord Show With Steve Vassalotti!

The show will take place each weekday morning, Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. until 10 a.m., and if the first two days are any indication of what the show will be, I know it will be a ton of fun.

Of course, there will be plenty of music and great classic rock played hourly, but there will also be a ton of trivia games, interviews, listener interactions, and traffic updates from the great Cindy Graham!

Here are some of the daily features that will take place on The Matt Cord Show With Steve Vassalotti:

Wait, What?: This will be crazy news stories from all over the world that will make you literally say… “Wait, what?”

D-Student Trivia: We will ask 10 total questions, and if you get six of them correct, you win! Because, after all, D’s get degrees!

Little Kid or Drunk Adult: This is where we give a real-life scenario and the contestant has to decide if the person who did it was a little kid or a drunk adult!

Wheel of Wow: Each Wednesday we will load the wheel up with deep album cuts and listener picks, and wherever the wheel lands, that’s what we’ll play!

Pigskin Picks: Every Friday, Pat Egan from our sister station, 97.5 The Fanatic, will join the show and give out some of his picks heading into each NFL Sunday slate of games!

Trust me, that is only the tip of the iceberg for what Steve and I have in store with our new morning show, The Matt Cord Show With Steve Vassalotti, and we could not be any more excited that the show is officially on the air. So if any of that interests you, be sure to check out the show.

Oh, and I can’t forget, The Matt Cord Show With Steve Vassalotti officially has both a Twitter account and a Facebook page, so please go follow them both!

Please spread the word, tune in, and GO BIRDS!

Over the last week, I did a lot of fun things while away from the WMGK studio. As I wrote about yesterday, I was down the shore for a bit in New Jersey and had a great meal over at Twisties Tavern on the Bay. However, the Jersey Shore was not the only place I visited on vacation.

The other place I went definitely some similarities to the Jersey Shore, like, sharing the same ocean and all, but there are also some cool differences at this place. If you have not guessed by now, I also hit up Rehoboth and Dewey this week!

I love the Delaware beach towns and overall there is a totally different feel to them than that of the Jersey Shore towns – but don’t get me wrong, I love both and each has their own unique characteristics about them!

While there, we took a nice 30-mile bike ride around Lewes, Cape Henlopen Park, North Shore, Rehoboth Beach, and Dewey Beach. Myself, Pattyann, Marisa Magnatta, plus her husband and my friend, Matt Lindenmuth, all had a great time on the ride!

We also went out for a boat ride on the Indian River Inlet to Paradise Beach Bar and then had a bite to eat at Dewey Beer Co. By the way, Matt is one of the main brewers there and has a deep knowledge of beers. Plus, he has a pretty good basketball hat game, like myself, so I scored a couple of cool Dewey Beer snapbacks. I was stoked!

Overall, I had an amazing time down at the Delaware Beaches!

As I said, I am definitely a Jersey Shore guy, but the Delaware Beaches are a nice change up from my normal summer routine! There are definitely a lot more options as far as retail goes, and more Wawas, so who could complain about that? Also, I can’t forget to mention that they are a lot more bicycle friendly.

I can’t wait to head back down again to see what’s in store next!

The first sign you see when you arrive in Dewey Beach. Apparently Dewey Beach is A Way of Life. A good one at that!

Riding my bike in Rehoboth. What a great beach town. Both for bike riding and vacation.

Pattyann and I stopping for a picture in Rehoboth. Look at the cool water tower in the background. It is definitely a landmark in Rehoboth.

The whole group on our bike ride. It was such a fun day. It is always great getting together with Marisa and Matt.

Here is a picture of our over 30-mile bike ride! We went through four different Delaware beach towns. They were all gorgeous.

Matt is not only a good beer brewer, but also a great boat driver. He led the way through the Indian River Inlet and got us to our destination.

After our boat ride, we stopped by this place for a bit. It is called the Paradise Beach Bar. Just wait until you see some of the rules!

No hats. No shirt. No service! And a whole lot of other rules!

This pole is not for dancing! I've never been a rule follower anyway!

No pulling money out of your bra. It is too sweaty. Luckily for me, I don't wear one!

Outside Dewey Beer Co. What a great place! Located right on the corner of Saulsbury Street

You saw the outside, now take a look at the inside. This place was so cool. Matt and company do a great job.

My burger at Dewey Beer Co. was amazing. Look at the size of that thing. You have to try it if you are in the area.

One of the two hats Matt gave me. Me and him will have to compare collections one day. Two of the best hat games out there.

The second of the two hats Matt gave me. I can't tell which one I like better. What do you think?

We passed the President's house on our bike ride. Yes, the secret service was all over me and told me to keep it moving. The do a good job!

Riding in the boat with Pattyann, Marisa, and Matt. Look closely for the dolphins! If you blink you may just miss them!

Here we are as a group on our bike ride. We went through multiple Delaware beach towns. The trail is fantastic.

Here we are in the boat. Matt is driving as we head to Paradise Beach Bar. This was incredible.
