working to expand to the united states so those red wine teeth soon to turn blue. and and finally, yesterday was father's day of course and the odds are pretty good that at least some of you dads spent it doing this. what is this you ask? it's the cheerio challenge of course and it's quietly sweeping the internet. it's the brainchild of patrick quinn one of the cofounders behind the life of dad blog and facebook page. he challenged fellow dads to see how many cheerios checked successfully pile onto the faces of their sleeping babies because why not and this is what resulted, countless dads one upping each other cheerios turning into cup cakes, even canned goods got in the game here. some babies were even awake at the time making it even more challenging. so for all the moms out there whoever wondered what really goes on inside every dad's brain, this is exactly it and you know what, we're proud of it. >> you know what, i'm thinking this is why you dads are in trouble all the time. >> all the time.

but it's fun. >> let me know how that works at your house. >> okay. >> highly doubt it. >> 22, that's my personal goal. >> all right, brian. let's get another check on the roads tonight. what is that 11 per baby then? matt standing by with the upday. hey, matt. >> we have some stacking going on here of the cars unfortunately, sharrie and it's resulting in speeds that look like those cheerios. zeros, yeah a lot of stop traffic on 95 as you come northbound north of center city this afternoon. this is the major culprit. it's a northbound accident involving a couple of different trucks. police are out here on the scene as you can see and the crash is still a half hour later taking out the two right lanes. so, all that traffic that is coming away from the phils game, all the traffic that's coming out of center city ending the workday is being funneled into that one left lane headed northbound. it is a mess, a standstill coming north of penn's landing with single digit speeds headed up to that accident at cottman avenue. southbound there was also a crash at cottman. that one has been pushed off to the side but coming down from woodhaven, you're looking

at speeds in the teens. so, not much more pleasant on that southbound side. i would stick with the boulevard. stay local on roads like frankford avenue or even work your way into new jersey and use roads like 130 as alternates but 95 is not where you want to be. in lower pottsgrove there's a crash to watch out for along arm and hammer near 4422. a jam on the admiral wilson boulevard by the old airport circle. that also is not a spot in which you want to find yourself. in hamilton township atlantic county a motorcycle crash along the black horse pike. and one just clearing here east greenwich from cedar road. that's good news. we'll check the 95 situation again, brian and sharrie, in the 5 o'clock hour. >> okay. cheerio my friend. >> adam joseph coming up with that exclusive accuweather forecast as we officially kick off summer.

fios is not cable. we're wired differently. so we wired the wagner's house with 100 meg internet. which means that in the time it takes mrs. wagner's car to arrive for the airport, she can use fios to download the movie "up in the air" to watch while she's... up in the air.

that's the power of fiber optics. and right now you can get 100 meg internet with equal upload and downloads speeds, tv and phone for just $69.99 per month online. cable can't offer internet speeds this fast at a price this good. only fios can.
