Battle of the Burbs: Port St. Lucie VS West Palm Beach
April 9, 2026·3 min
1. The Mo and Sally Morning Show runs a recurring community trivia segment called Battle of the Burbs, matching residents of neighboring South Florida communities.
2. In this episode, Stephen represents West Palm Beach and George represents Port St. Lucie, which George immediately nicknames 'Port St. Lucie, the Pizzle.'
3. The game is best-of-five: contestants buzz in by shouting their name, and blurting an answer without buzzing forfeits the point to the opponent.
4. Question one — what does ASL stand for — is correctly answered by Stephen as 'sign language,' giving West Palm Beach the early lead.
5. Question two — which Back to the Future star did CNN accidentally declare dead — goes unanswered; Stephen guesses 'Dr. Brown,' the fictional character, not Michael J. Fox, the actor.
6. The hosts clarify that Michael J. Fox is alive and well.
7. Question three — Jump Man was the original name of which popular video game plumber — goes to George, who answers 'Mario,' though his phone cuts out and the hosts have to interpret his answer.
8. The hosts give George the point for Mario despite the audio issues.
9. Question four — on which part of your body would you wear hokas — George buzzes in and answers 'feet,' giving Port St. Lucie a 2-1 lead.
10. With Stephen needing the final point to stay in the game, question five asks which TV chef popularized the term 'Flavortown.'
11. George buzzes in first and answers 'Guy DeFury,' a clearly mispronounced version of Guy Fieri.
12. The hosts deliberate briefly, Sally confirms it counts, and George wins the game for Port St. Lucie.
13. The host admits he counted George winning 'like four times' before accepting the result, and says George 'confused the hell out of me today.'
14. The segment ends with congratulations for George and Port St. Lucie.
15. The episode is a short, high-energy morning radio segment typical of drive-time community entertainment.
16. Both contestants are community members rather than regular personalities, contributing to the segment's spontaneous humor.
17. The phone connection issues with George add unintended comic timing throughout the game.
18. The tone is cheerful, fast-paced, and self-aware — the hosts laugh at the score confusion and the mispronounced Guy Fieri answer.
19. This segment appeals to South Florida residents, fans of morning-show community trivia, and listeners who enjoy unscripted radio moments.
20. Listeners seeking substantive interviews or information-dense content will find this segment too brief and light to satisfy those interests.
