You might have heard us talk about Tom's "Sporty Spice" incident long ago. This week, we found it. Enjoy us enjoying our own content for a while, before we talk at length about sewage floods. Topics: The Twins slaughter Detroit Turtle Dove ice cream Tom's Sporty Spice moment Shakedown trailer Tupac's killer finally convicted Message Envy's sewage problem

Nobody likes it when a child goes missing. Luckily, they're starting to do something about that, apparently. At least in Florida, anyway. Not quite as tragic as a missing child but still unpleasant is worrying about what's for dinner. Is there one meal kit to rule them all? We discuss. We also remind our audience that if you want to make a 20% commission on all cash collected by advertisers you find for our show, you should contact us, because we're hiring. Topics: Trafficked children do in fa...

You've probably heard that radio was a much wilder place back in the 80s and 90s. Pretty much every story you've heard is true. What you haven't heard is a news station that doesn't try to sway your opinion. Not unless you know Japanese, I suppose. Topics: Divisiveness in the news The history of Minnesota radio State Fair stories Drug testing stories

Are you accustomed to luxury? You know, running water, a bed, that sort of thing? You may want to check out Dollyfest. It's sure to have all your 19th century needs met, at the very least. For those of you who are more "bag in a bucket" types, try dispersed camping. After all, what's indoor plumbing really done for anyone? Topics: Dispersed camping Dollyfest in Nashville and London Why Howard Stern is down to once a week Disney influencers who live in Orlando

If you've ever felt helpless, like your age is holding you back, just think of Dale "Grey Beard" Sanders, who hiked nearly 2,200 miles at the age of 91 in under a year. No, your age is not holding you back. Your genetics on the other hand might be. Topics: Terry's cabin at the headwaters Grey Beard becomes the oldest person to hike the Appalachian trail The Tilt-A-Whirl is 100 years old Rhode Island squid spill Alex goes dispersed camping

We couldn't find a guest for this show. At least, not until about ten minutes prior. Ephraim swooped in to save the day with very short notice. It's a good thing, too, because we had plenty to talk about. Podcasts, working with your family, south Florida, and even how ghosts and aliens fit into various religious sects all come up. You can listen to Ephraim's podcast at https://www.cometogether-podcast.com/! This guest was booked using PodMatch! Interested in being a guest on the show? Reach ou...

The latest victim of the grim reaper's sprint is Peter Cullen, most famously the voice of Optimus Prime and Eeyore. Will this never end? We're not sure, which is why we give advice to aging celebrities on today's show. Definitely avoid drugs and ladders, at the very least. Topics: Kristyn takes a Thriller class Peter Cullen dies at 85 The age of the celebrity is coming to an end Minibike crash in Brooklyn Park The ubiquity of TBIs DWTS cast spoilers

Today's show is a double header. First you get hairstyling and grooming tips, then we talk about Coyote vs. Acme for nearly a half an hour. It's a movie that apparently almost never got off the ground until some relatively unknown distribution company swooped in and bought the rights. According to Tim, it's a very good thing they did. Topics: Eyebrows and hair Dogs Coyote vs. Acme Whether Link should talk in the upcoming Zelda movie

Andy and Alex helm the podcast today, joined on mic by Sage and Fawn. The result? Mostly news, a bit of singing, and learning about a new book series. Topics: Cookies made from plastic Komatsu the cat Khalid Sheikh Mohammed finally getting a trial 27 years later I Survived books Alex and Dan go see Toto Yacht Rock Thriller

Dick moved from Winnipeg to Edina when he was 9, graduated high school there in 1987, spent some of his young adulthood listening to Tom, then jet setted across America on multiple radio stations for a while. He now lives in New Zealand where he writes a million books. Well, 21, but that's still basically a million. His latest book, The Facilite Con, has been reduced to 99 cents for a very limited time only - as in, probably a day or two. Check out his website, https://www.dickwybrow.com/, for ...

Christine started modeling at 11. 30 years later, she started a long series of aggressive treatments for breast cancer. She later noticed that so many stories about breast cancer, whether fiction or otherwise, tend to end in tragedy. Things have come a long way, and Christine herself is proof. It's time to start telling the stories of triumph. You can find Christine's book, Walk Beside Me, as well as her other ventures at https://christinehandy.com/. This guest was booked using PodMatch!

August 25th is a day that will go down in infamy. No, not because that's the day Zimbabwe joined the UN, although that's very important as well. We lost two beloved icons nearly simultaneously yesterday. Also Meta lost 17 billion dollars, although that's functionally nothing to them. Topics: Dolly Parton and Tim Curry died Meta received a 17 billion dollar judgement against them Targeted ads on your phone Groceries are expensive Emily in Paris final season premiere date

We've all known picky eaters. Perhaps we are one ourselves. Not wanting to eat an "Oreo chicken burger" isn't so much being picky as self-preservation. But kids seem to be able to take it to another level. Topics: Keep your dogs away from blue-green algae Rocky Horror Picture Show traditions Picky eaters KFC China has created a new abomination Australian Guy goes to jail over a carnival game

Football season is upon us, which means Costaki is back. It also means news from Alaska and Greece. And jokes. Gotta have jokes. Topics: Taking very young kids to Disney World: a good idea? Alaska is big, remote, and far away Greece is fun Why is the NFL schedule set the way it is? Stories from when the Super Bowl took over Minneapolis

Jack Hicks is back for what is likely to be a weekly appearance. Unless, of course, he gets cancelled for saying the wrong thing. Maybe it would be better if we stuck with talking about wrestlers who are either dead or very old. You're unlikely to get a piledriver from one of them, so it's pretty safe. Topics: Pronouns and corporate HR issues Wrestlers from the 40s to today

On the 11th, it will have been 25 years since 9/11. Did you know that Tom and the rest of the KQ Morning Show played a small role in its history? Some of us were too young to even really know what it meant. Perhaps it was better that way. Topics: Diarrhea Summer is coming to an end 9/11 Reunited is a sad look at a tragic memory Covid masks: do they work? Shelley Fabares dies at 82 Barbara Eden continues to live at 95

You know how some celebrity news is so boring that you genuinely wonder how anyone could possibly care? We've got some today. Never let it be said that we're not on the cutting edge of celeb gossip. Selectively. Usually we select "not at all". Topics: Scarlett Johansson's magnesium woes The slow decline of radio A Dunkin' Donuts truck broke down in a fortuitous location

Fernando recently helped his son move from California to Texas. Then he went back. You know how moving sucks? Helping someone move a thousand miles also sucks. Maybe worse, actually. But hey, we do what we can for our kids, right? Even if their respect for authority could maybe use some work. Topics: Fernando is tired because of his long trip The story behind Agent Bigglesby and the name James P Rochester Our systems are broken, but how do we fix them?

Remember TV edits of movies? When they'd replace swear words with nonsense? We're not sure if "dink" qualifies as a replacement for a swear or not, but we do know that it's a pickleball thing. It's also a movie. About pickleball. Topics: Spa Weekend isn't very good Lanterns on HBO Max is pretty good The Dink is very good We don't know how good The Day the Clown Cried is

Kristyn has famous cats, apparently. Go ask AI about them. While we're on the topic, we asked ChatGPT about Jude. It gave a surprisingly detailed analysis of him, entirely based on things we've said during the show. Cool? Yes. Creepy? Also yes. Topics: AI knows our pets The 25th anniversary of 9/11 is coming up Margaret Qualley wore some questionable shoes HGTV is still a thing, and Meghan Markle is part of it Palm Beach is expensive

Kathryn had to go to the doctor today. The way they talked, you'd think she's in her 90s. Maybe it's because she's tall. Tall people don't live as long, you know. Especially the ones that are in the eight foot range. And especially the ones that eat sprouts contaminated with E. Coli. That's a thing now, by the way. Topics: Kathryn's doctor visit Medicare, medicaid, and health insurance Outstanding refugee award Minnesota fraud Contaminated sprouts Ethel Caterham, world's oldest person, tu...

Margaret spent 35 years in Moral Re-Armament, a movement that intended to bring morality back to a world wracked with war. Whether they succeeded is debatable, as is the line between a movement and a cult. Margaret thinks they may have straddled that line pretty closely at times. The specifics of growing up in MRA - as well as her life after - are in her book, A Spectacular Inheritance. For more information, visit Margaret's website at https://margareteastmansmith.com/.

Gaylen has been through it. Heart failure, multiple jobs collapsing around him, alcoholism. During it all, he lost one marriage and gained another. How is he keeping this one alive? He calls it the Monument Method. Learn all about it here. For more information, visit https://www.monumentmethodinstitute.com/. This guest was booked using PodMatch!

Fentanyl is all the rage these days when it comes to overdosing, but that wasn't always the case. You had a cornucopia of ways to party like a dead rockstar. One thing that hasn't changed, however, is that child stars become broken adults. We don't like the idea of AI being in our shows and hosting our podcasts, but could that be a good way to have kids in movies without ruining a real life kid? Topics: Hayden Panettiere vs. Neutrogena AI replacing child stars AI replacing everyone else too ...
