At the end of this episode we play a bit of a song about the Philadelphia EAGLES. It's off a 45 record that Kristen's dad found in his basement called "I'm An Eagle Believer". The entire song is in the Youtube video we made below. Go BIRDS!

Hey, it's Kristen from 95.7 BEN-FM's Matt and Kristen Morning Show. My dad found a few old PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 45's in his basement and we couldn't find the audio anywhere on Youtube, so we are uploading it for your listening pleasure. E - A - G - L - E - S EAGLES!!!
