- Rush Limbaugh got himself in some hot water with people talking about Robin Williams and his leftist views.

- Andrew had a big day yesterday revealing his story about suicide and depression. Hopefully talking about it will help others.

6:20-6:30:

- Coming up we will talk to the sports author but we have some crazy stories first.

- For Bill's son's birthday at a restaurant the waitress brought out the entrees and Bill said, "You forgot the salads." They had been brought.

6:40-6:50:

- Long Island and Rhode Island got blasted with rain. Long Island received more rain yesterday than they usually do in a summer. They received 13" of rain. Just think if it was snow! One inch of rain is equivalent to about 1 foot of snow.
