The Hilarious Craig Shoemaker Stops By The MGK Studio With Matt Cord

I want to send a big thank you to Craig Shoemaker for stopping by the MGK morning show last week to chat with me for a few minutes!

One of my favorite parts about my job in radio is getting to talk to some very cool people.

That includes all of the people I work with, the listeners, whether they call in or see me out and about, or when we have cool guests visit the studio.

Well, in this particular case, it was Craig Shoemaker!

Craig was making the rounds promoting his show over at Helium Comedy Club, which took place over the weekend, and he made it a point to make a stop on my show to talk about the show.

If you’ve been listening to me on the air for long enough, then you’re no stranger to hearing Craig Shoemaker on some of my shows.

He’s actually been coming on the air with me since I was doing the morning show on MMR dating all the way back to 1997!

We’ve definitely had our fun together over the years, and it never gets old having him as a guest.

For those who don’t know, Craig is actually from the Philadelphia area, so he’s a local product.

Not only that, but he is also a huge Philly sports fan.

In fact, he was actually at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles last week cheering on the Phillies during their west coast trip.

Anyway, Craig not only tells some great jokes, but he is also an incredible storyteller and is friends with a ton of people in show business, so it makes for some pretty funny stories.

Check out some of his stuff on his website — CraigShoemaker.com — or check him out on Instagram — @officialcraigshoemaker.

And if you ever get the chance, go see a Craig Shoemaker show, you won’t be disappointed!

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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?

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