    Thursday, April 2, 2026: Social Seats Take Over + First Impressions Gone Wrong

    It’s a full studio morning and things get rolling fast. Brock is joined by John along with special guests from Social Seats NWA, and the crew dives right into the trending question: what was your first impression of your spouse? The answers range from “hubba hubba” to “I’m going to break his heart” to accidentally planning a date… in the wrong city. From there, it’s a mix of everything you love about a chaotic morning show: April Fools pranks (including some that probably crossed the line)Wild news stories, including AI getting lawyers in troubleThe best (and cheapest) places to nap during the workdayRandom facts that somehow turn into debates about Neanderthals and candy historyThe energy keeps rolling with a Family Feud-style game, where the group battles it out over the best insults for your boss (all starting with the letter “L”), plus some surprisingly competitive teamwork. There’s also a mix of local flavor and real-life talk: Walmart campus life vs. the “office dungeon” daysWeird things people notice when they visit the U.S.Gmail finally letting you change your embarrassing email addressAnd a TikTok “soulmate search” that absolutely backfiresThrow in some good news, celebrity gossip, food debates (California burritos vs. Tex-Mex), and a little wrestling nostalgia, and you’ve got a packed episode that feels like hanging out with friends who never stay on topic.
