    Jenna roberson returns to the show to discuss abortion rights and the laws of the 1800's! Yeehaw! 

    First up Mark is pissed that there is stupidity abound in the republican party and the way they present themselves. They are starting to turn the corner into weirdness and lertting it be seen in more places publicly. This leads to a discussion about Abortion Rights in Arizona since they passed a law that was adopted before the territory was even a state. It's so ancient in it's device, the peeps discuss! 

    It's time for another round of the best TV Theme Songs Tournament of Pop Culture on this episode.

    The QNow - 596 - Give Me Half

    Marcus Boston returns to have his character analyzed and to discuss the local elections with the guys! 

    First up it has been a rough few weeks for the guys. They have been interviewing candidates for school baords and senators and all the fun. But the time for talk is cheap and we are not here to guild the lily! The QNow on KYRO brought candidates on to the show to interview and promote. Their opponents didn't like that Mark and Jason do not bend easily to dumb whims. When all was said and done, The QNow and Mark/Jason chose the correct people that WON their elections, while other local radio and media companies chose the losers and were wrong. 

    Next up Marcus is back and Mark has a special question for the diva! But this leads to a discussion about the Ivan Drago way that Marcus is approaching a simple thing. This leads to another question about the lottery to see if Marcus can regain some composure in the situation....tune in to find out if he ever does and what was his reasoning for that stance. 

    Finaally, there are a lot of great action movie franchises, but which one truly stands above the rest. They have another ranker list of franchises and they break it down to see if the list holds weight or if it is another list that is busted. You decide!

    The QNow - 594 - A Grounded Approach

    The QNow - 594 - A Grounded Approach

    We are hot and heavy into the election cycle for 2024. Primaries have happened, people complaining on social media too...all the necessities to let you know everyone is chomping at the bit to be recognized and voted into positions! Well this is no different in Missouri either! 

    First up Joanthan May returns to discuss peeing on people for no reason and then tells an amazing story of a dream he had! This leads to a discussion about Donald trump and his inabilities to pay his legal debts to the people he has wronged. This means Trump is not even HALF a Billionaire. He doesn't possess the liquid money to pay off the debts he has accrued and his own team is the one telling the judges. 

    Next the gents welcome Carolie Owens and Steven Blair who are running for Francis Howell School Board. Carolie is a veteran educator of over 30+ years who has worked for multiple school districts and has put in tenure to know the lay of the land. Steven is a pastor that is also an educator and they are trying to pull this conservative agenda out of the hands of the current board memebers, and right the ship. Carolie and Steven get detailed in their plight and why you need to vote for people with a grounded approach. 

    Finally, a surprise Tournament of Pop Culture. There are a ton of TV theme songs and we could easily (and might) do another 16 songs to battle it out. But this time around we have a random pull of TV theme songs and we are going to see which one reigns supreme by the end of the show!
