Most of you guys usually know me as the radio guy here at MGK and for my morning drive show The Matt Cord Show With Steve Vassalotti. A lot of you know me as the voice of the Philadelphia 76ers for home games. Well, some of you will know me as the guy in the Window Nation videos!

The other day, we had a full-blown video shoot at my house to help promote my new windows, sliding doors, and French doors from our partners, Window Nation.

Window Nation is the best in the business and I am so glad I went with them to upgrade my home!

I actually got the new windows set up in October, and after a couple of months, I can safely say they have been more helpful than I even expected!

I wanted to give my testimonial on how much of an improvement the windows made to my home, so I reached out and we set up a video!

The shoot was with Bill Mitzelfelt of Window Nation to let everyone know how happy we are with the new products from Window Nation.

First off, my house just looks so much nicer with the brand new, state-of-the-art windows that were put in by the best workers in the business.

Plus, it’s much quieter than it previously was as the windows block out the outside noise much better, and my energy bills are noticeably lower than they were with the old windows.

Who could complain about lower bill prices?

I want to send a big shout-out to Bill, who was awesome on camera, and all of Window Nation.

I also can’t forget to thank our MGK crew too — Brendan, Joe, Tim, and Kali, who all made my video with me.

Next time you’re in the market for windows, you know where to go!

My 25-Mile Bike Ride With Casey Boy Preparing For Ben To The Shore

As many of you know after reading my post about the Stanley Cup from yesterday, I spent the last week on vacation down the Jersey shore.

And from many of my other posts before that, you know I enjoy going for some long bike rides — especially down the shore!

So what could be better than squeezing in a nice bike ride on a week's long vacation? Squeezing in a nice bike ride on a week’s long vacation with a great friend of mine, of course!

I got to go on a great ride with my buddy Casey Boy from The Preston and Steve Show on our sister station, WMMR.

We rode through multiple shore towns as we got in a practice ride in preparation for this Sunday’s Ben To The Shore ride! For those that don’t know, the Ben To The Shore Bike Tour is a charity event that raises funds for Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation, which is for the families of fallen first responders and police officers.

It is always a lot of fun and something I look forward to each year!

During our practice route, Casey Boy and I rode about 25.81 miles from Wildwood to Town Bank to Cape May Point to Cape May then all the way back to Wildwood where we started.

It was a great time and has me ready to conquer the 65-mile Ben To The Shore ride! This will actually be my tenth year riding in the event and each year it gets better and better.

If you are interested in donating, visit fbbcf.org or visit the Team WMMR Rock and Rollers page.

I can’t wait for Sunday and hopefully, the weather holds up for the ride! I’m sure there will be a lot of people on the ride for this great cause!

Who do you think will cross the finish line first, me or Casey Boy?

Casey Boy, Pattyann, and Myself

Here's a selfie Casey Boy took on our ride. It is of Casey, Pattyann, and myself. What a great crew.

Selfie on the Bridge

I took this during our ride. I'm not sure how I kept my balance! Just ahead of my leading the way are Casey and Pattyann.

Casey and Pattyann on the Bridge

Like I mentioned in the photo above, there they are leading the way. It's a tight bridge like many down the shore. Luckily, we all managed to make it across.

Welcome to Town Bank

The first sign you see in Town Bank. Apparently, it is the birthplace of the South Jersey. I wonder what it was like in 1635?

Willow Creek Winery

Outside the beautiful Willow Creek Winery. What a cool sign. We definitely needed to check this place out on the ride.

The Whole Winery From the Outside

The land the winery was on was beautiful. Look at those flowers! The property was huge.

Inside the Winery

You know we had to make our way into the winery! Riding on the bricks was not as hard as you would think. It was even cooler on the inside.

The Crew in the Winery

You know I had to grab a group picture inside the winery! I am actually wearing a jersey from a previous Ben To The Shore ride! I wonder what this year's will look like?

The Group

Just a group of people that love a good bike ride. I know we all can't wait for Sunday's ride. Hopefully, the weather is as nice as it was on this day!

The Map of Our Ride

The map of our 25-mile ride. We covered so much ground. It is nuts looking at it in map form!
