Current events, politics, movies, music, entertainment and EVERYTHING. Nothing off limits on The Q and controversy tends to always have a seat at the Q's table. But with radio veteran Mark Bland at the helm, the St. Louis, MO based CBS show has found a solid national audience that wants to cut through the BS and likes their talk a little edgy. https://static.libsyn.com/p/assets/b/4/7/7/b477342886e6688b16c3140a3186d450/tinyLOGO2025.jpg The Left Hook Mark Bland yes episodic mark,bland,the,q,show,politics,moderate,liberal,conservative,entertainment,wrestling,current,events,sports,kyro,1280,cbs,news,affiliate no The Q w/Mark Blandmark@theqnow.comMark Bland The Left Hook - 33 - NACHO President The Left Hook - 33 - NACHO President Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:35:00 +0000 In this episode of The Left Hook, hosts Mark Bland and Jason Kull offer a sharp, independent critique of President Donald Trump's early second term in 2026. The conversation opens with economic concerns, particularly rising gas prices. The hosts note the national average has climbed to about $4.16 per gallon, significantly higher than the roughly $2.75 seen during the final stages of the Biden administration. They argue that Trump's policies, including aggressive tariffs and military actions, have contributed to higher energy costs and broader economic strain, contradicting claims of improved conditions.

A central focus is the ongoing crisis with Iran and control of the Strait of Hormuz. Bland and Kull contend that Trump's decision to strike Iranian targets, including actions against leadership, has backfired dramatically. Instead of securing the vital waterway, Iran retains control, leading to disrupted global oil supplies, elevated prices worldwide, and damaged U.S. alliances. They mock Trump's late-night Truth Social posts, including dismissive comments about NATO and interest in Greenland, and revive their "TACO" label — Trump Always Chickens Out — while poking fun at a Fox News counter-spin of "NACHO."

The hosts also slam Trump's plans to restructure or downsize the U.S. Forest Service, including closing research labs, calling it shortsighted waste that discards decades of valuable scientific work and weakens wildfire preparedness and national park support. They highlight long-term damage to institutions, military inefficiencies such as using expensive missiles against cheaper drones, and the erosion of America's global standing, portraying the U.S. as having shifted from a respected leader to an unreliable actor under Trump.

Throughout the show, Bland and Kull maintain an irreverent, conversational tone typical of the program, blending humor, sarcasm, and data-driven analysis. They emphasize that everyday Americans are feeling the pinch through higher prices and uncertainty while criticizing Republican congressional silence on major issues. The episode underscores their view that Trump's chaotic approach is creating problems that will be difficult to reverse before the midterms.

The Left Hook - 32 - The Big 50th The Left Hook - 32 - The Big 50th Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:34:00 +0000 On this special birthday edition of The Left Hook, host Mark Bland celebrates turning 50 alongside co-host Jason Kull. The duo reflects on reaching the "back nine" of life, the grind of Midwest broadcasting, and their journey from casual political chats to a respected independent voice—while lamenting St. Louis's fickle support for local talent.

The conversation quickly turns sharp on current events. Bland and Kull slam President Trump's escalating Iran conflict, including the U.S. strike that destroyed a major civilian bridge near Tehran—an act they call a desperate war crime and a sign of failing foreign policy. They discuss Trump's recent firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi, portraying it as another example of chaotic infighting and abuse of power.

They also roast Stephen A. Smith for wading into the birthright citizenship debate, accusing him of hypocrisy and urging him to "stay in his lane." The hosts warn that Trump's norm-breaking has eroded previous Democratic leniency, predicting a hard pendulum swing and accountability when power shifts.

Light moments include birthday banter, Sammy Hagar and Rush references, and a fun aside on a startup's wild plan to beam sunlight to Earth via space mirrors on demand.

Bland argues that Trump, influenced by Benjamin Netanyahu, launched an ill-conceived conflict that has left the United States diplomatically isolated with no international allies willing to join the fight. Despite aggressive U.S. bombing campaigns, Iran continues to retaliate, while the disruption of the Strait of Hormuz has driven gas prices sharply higher than under Biden, damaging American wallets and the global economy. Citing former U.S. Ambassador Daniel Fried, Bland warns that the administration is improvising without a clear strategy, comparing the situation to wandering lost in a "dark cave."

Bland pulls no punches, labeling Trump the worst president in American history and a "lying, fat piece of trash" whose narcissistic style has poisoned families, friendships, and America's global standing. He notes shifting public opinion, with many former Trump supporters now regretting their votes due to rising costs. Additional segments cover young couples skipping expensive engagement rings for trips amid economic pressures, and criticism of a new USPS fuel surcharge. Bland urges listeners to redirect their anger toward Trump and calls for a return to true "America First" priorities.

On this episode of The Left Hook, host Mark Bland and co-host Jason Kull open by discussing March Madness in St. Louis. Bland picks Michigan to win it all in his primary bracket and Florida in his upset bracket, while Kull selects Arizona as champion. The pair observe the unusual parity in college basketball this season and note how dangerous mid-major teams become when they emphasize three-point shooting.

The conversation shifts to the escalating conflict with Iran. Bland and Kull critique FBI Director Kash Patel's testimony on Capitol Hill, where he appeared unable to account for the recent firing of several Iran-focused counterintelligence agents just before U.S. strikes intensified. They express concern that the war is consuming billions in taxpayer funds, damaging alliances, and pulling focus from pressing domestic needs.

President Trump's exchange with the Japanese prime minister, underscoring the administration's handling of international coordination. Bland argues that these actions do not reflect an America First policy and have left the United States more isolated.

Lighter moments include the introduction of the term "flamper" for clothes left on the bedroom floor, a review of workplace red flags indicating feigned expertise, and brief commentary on declining interest in awards shows.

The main focus shifts to sharp criticism of the ongoing **U.S.-Israel war against Iran** (dubbed "Operation Epic Fury" by the administration). Mark compares Trump's approach to the infamous "Leroy Jenkins" meme: a reckless charge without strategy, driven by gut feelings, oil interests (Strait of Hormuz), and influence from Netanyahu/Israel. They slam **Stephen Miller**'s claims of total Iranian annihilation as "hogwash," noting Iran's deep redundancies (IRGC, military branches totaling ~1M personnel), retaliatory missile strikes on multiple countries, and resilient leadership (new leader is the son of the bombed former one, fueling vengeance).

Drew highlights public disapproval (only ~33% support per polls), civilian casualties (including schoolgirls from a U.S. Tomahawk strike the admin downplays or misattributes), and lack of planning or congressional approval. Mark plays a clip of Trump admitting he "doesn't know enough" about key details despite leading the war, calling it irresponsible amid wasted billions, dead service members, and ignored domestic needs.

They argue the conflict disrupts global economics/shipping, ignores UN processes, and risks escalation—while Fox hypes tiny pro-U.S. celebrations in Iran that quickly flipped to "Death to America" chants.

The episode closes lighter: debating the **2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees** (e.g., Mariah Carey, Phil Collins, Lauryn Hill, Billy Idol, INXS, Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan, Iron Maiden, P!nk, Shakira, Luther Vandross). Mark and Drew weigh merits—strong yes for Billy Idol/INXS, maybe for Phil Collins/Mariah, push for a broader "Music Hall" to fit non-rock acts, and no for Iron Maiden despite long snubs.

A fun, fiery mix of politics and pop culture—classic Left Hook style! Tune in Saturdays at 9 AM CST on WIBH/KRLL or online.

Launched in late February 2026 amid claims of imminent threats to U.S. interests and Israel's security, the conflict stems from Trump's "gut feeling" rather than concrete evidence, Bland argues. Despite initial U.S. bunker-buster strikes on nuclear sites and heavy airstrikes degrading Iran's missiles, navy, and infrastructure, no regime change has occurred after nearly two weeks. Iran continues retaliating with drones, missiles (including hypersonics hitting Tel Aviv), and attacks on ships in the Persian Gulf.

Bland highlights Iran's 50-year preparation for such a confrontation, contrasting it with America's high-cost inefficiency—spending millions on missiles to down cheap $50,000 drones—and the military-industrial complex's profiteering. Critically, Iran retains control of the Strait of Hormuz, effectively shutting it down (with recent attacks on multiple ships and U.S. strikes on 16 Iranian minelayers), spiking global oil prices and risking economic chaos worldwide, including skyrocketing costs for gas, food, and goods.

Domestically, Bland slams Trump supporters for emotion-driven ("feelings over facts") flip-flops—once anti-interventionist, now hawkish—while ignoring issues like Epstein files. He recounts a heated conversation revealing extreme rhetoric and warns the war distracts from unfulfilled promises like cheaper energy day one. Bland predicts prolonged attrition, potential escalation (with Russia/China aiding Iran), and midterms backlash, urging politics based on facts, not feelings.

Critically, Iran retains control of the Strait of Hormuz, effectively shutting it down (with recent attacks on multiple ships and U.S. strikes on 16 Iranian minelayers), spiking global oil prices and risking economic chaos worldwide, including skyrocketing costs for gas, food, and goods.

Domestically, Bland slams Trump supporters for emotion-driven ("feelings over facts") flip-flops—once anti-interventionist, now hawkish—while ignoring issues like Epstein files. He recounts a heated conversation revealing extreme rhetoric and warns the war distracts from unfulfilled promises like cheaper energy day one. Bland predicts prolonged attrition, potential escalation (with Russia/China aiding Iran), and midterms backlash, urging politics based on facts, not feelings.

]]> 44:52 false full mark@theqnow.com (Mark Bland)In this episode of The Left Hook, host Mark Bland delivers a scathing critique of the ongoing U.S.-Iran war under President Trump, dubbed Operation Epic Fury. Launched in late February 2026 amid claims of imminent threats to U.S. interests and Israel's security, the conflict stems from Trump's "gut feeling" rather than concrete evidence, Bland argues. Despite initial U.S. bunker-buster strikes on nuclear sites and heavy airstrikes degrading Iran's missiles, navy, and infrastructure, no regime change has occurred after nearly two weeks.

Left Hook - 27 - State of Delusion Left Hook - 27 - State of Delusion Wed, 04 Mar 2026 16:00:00 +0000 On this episode of The Left Hook, Mark Bland and Jason Kull ripped into recent headlines with their signature independent edge. Hillary Clinton denied any Epstein ties in a GOP-led deposition, calling it partisan distraction aimed at shielding Trump, and urged subpoenaing him instead. The hearing imploded when Rep. Lauren Boebert snapped banned photos and shared them with right-wing influencers.

Trump's lengthy State of the Union was slammed as self-congratulatory nonsense—full of past recaps, mid-speech medal handouts (including to a young hockey goalie over lifetime icons), and blaming Biden for problems while claiming America is now "strong." They highlighted Trump's podium finger-pointing and name-calling of Democrats.

Alarm bells rang over reports of Trump allies drafting an executive order using fake Chinese 2020 interference claims to impose emergency election powers—voter ID mandates and mail-in bans—potentially rigging 2026 midterms. Polls show Trump underwater in swing states Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, driven by economic disapproval and inflation blame.

Everyday prices are soaring—steak, concert tickets, fast food, cars, insurance—hitting wallets hard and fueling backlash. The hosts predict a massive House swing in 2026, with independents fleeing and Trump's tactics risking chaos over compromise. Tune in Saturdays for more unfiltered takes.

The Left Hook - 26 - The Working Class The Left Hook - 26 - The Working Class Mon, 23 Feb 2026 16:35:00 +0000 In this episode of The Left Hook, host Mark Bland delivers a fiery critique of President Donald Trump's second term, now over a year in. He highlights recent headlines, including the arrest of former Prince Andrew in the UK over Jeffrey Epstein-related misconduct following new file revelations, contrasting it with perceived inaction in the U.S. under Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel. Bland accuses Trump of failing working-class Americans, repeatedly promising but never delivering $2,000 "tariff checks" from revenue, while inflation remains high, rents soar (citing examples around $2,700/month), and taxpayer funds flow elsewhere—like military bonuses.

He slams Trump's foreign policy missteps: alienating NATO allies, straining relations with Canada and Mexico, and creating the "Board of Peace" (seemingly a personal alternative to international bodies), where Trump reportedly dozed off during meetings and fixated on Nobel Prize hopes despite mocking Norway. Bland ties in Epstein files mentioning Trump extensively (with allegations of abuse, though unproven), Bannon-Epstein communications plotting against Trump, and global calls for accountability, suggesting presidential immunity won't shield child-related crimes. He contrasts this with Biden-era stability and urges listeners to question Trump's unfulfilled promises amid eroding alliances and domestic struggles. The episode blends sharp political commentary with lighter tangents on shower routines and YouTube's 21st birthday.

The Left Hook - 25 - Perjury Pam The Left Hook - 25 - Perjury Pam Tue, 17 Feb 2026 16:34:00 +0000 In this episode of The Left Hook, host Mark Bland and guest Jason Kull deliver a fiery takedown of Attorney General Pam Bondi's explosive House Judiciary Committee appearance on February 11th. What should have been serious oversight into the Justice Department's mishandling of Jeffrey Epstein files—delayed releases, accidental exposure of survivor names, suspicious redactions—devolved into Bondi hurling insults at Democrats like Jamie Raskin ("washed-up loser lawyer") and refusing to apologize to victims in the room. She dodged every substantive question, pivoted to defending Trump, and accused lawmakers of "theatrics" while exhibiting classic mean-girl energy straight out of Mean Girls.

The hosts call it what it is: blatant cover-up for Trump and his circle, with new Epstein ties surfacing for figures like Steve Bannon and Elon Musk, yet no charges. They slam the hypocrisy across administrations, from Bush's 2008 sweetheart deal to today's unaccountable DOJ. Bondi's outbursts screamed impunity—no fear of consequences, no real answers.

They also touch on the Seahawks' Super Bowl win (Darnold as a game-manager champ), Trump's chaotic cabinet picks, rising gas prices contradicting "cheaper everything" promises, and warnings of voter intimidation via ICE at polls. Bottom line: this administration prioritizes loyalty over justice, survivors, and democracy. Demand accountability—full unredacted files now.

The Left Hook - 24 -Epsteins Island The Left Hook - 24 -Epsteins Island Tue, 10 Feb 2026 17:32:00 +0000 Welcome to the Left Hook for this week! It was all a dream...but now it's becoming anightmare quickly. Mark Bland is here to discuss the latest release of epstein files! 

Donald Trump's crumbling under the Epstein files avalanche – his name's plastered across horrific child exploitation allegations. He refuses to sue accusers because the truth would bury him! Epstein was arrested and died in 2019 under Trump's watch, with Bill Barr's DOJ – not Biden's. Even pro-Trump Bill O'Reilly fumbled basic facts live on air, proving the right-wing spin machine is broken.

Trump's projecting big time: whining about "cheating" while evidence points to his shady 2016 and 2024 wins via allies like Elon Musk. Now he's floating skipping 2026 midterms if Republicans lose – classic dictator move! If he steals our votes, what's our recourse? We endured his chaos once; we won't let him end free elections.

The Left Hook is everywhere, from mid-Missouri to the nation, calling out corruption without fear. Tune in Saturdays 9-10 AM CST, share the fight, and resist! Democracy's on the line – we're swinging back!

The Left Hook - 23 - Nuremberg The Left Hook - 23 - Nuremberg Tue, 03 Feb 2026 19:34:00 +0000 In this explosive episode of The Left Hook, hosts Mark Bland and guest Drew Pinson deliver a fiery takedown of the Trump administration's deadly immigration crackdown, spotlighting the shocking killings of innocent Americans by undertrained, overarmed federal agents during Operation Metro Surge—a massive ICE and Border Patrol invasion targeting blue cities like Minneapolis.

They break down the January 24, 2026, fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, where bodycam and eyewitness footage shows six agents swarming him, disarming his legally carried firearm, yelling "He's got a gun" after removing it, and then two officers opening fire—despite no evidence he attacked or brandished the weapon. This comes just weeks after the January 7 killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three shot in her car by an ICE agent while supporting immigrant neighbors, sparking nationwide outrage, protests, and a DOJ civil rights probe. Bland and Pinson slam the agents' lack of training, absence of non-lethal options like tasers, and "all-or-nothing" lethal mindset—comparing them to the bumbling Citizens on Patrol from Police Academy movies—while highlighting how Trump's goon squads terrorize communities without accountability, paid for by hardworking taxpayers' dollars.

They expose the blatant authoritarian extortion: AG Pam Bondi demanding Minnesota's 2020 voter rolls from Gov. Tim Walz in exchange for pulling ICE out, a clear power grab to meddle in elections and purge rolls, echoed in similar FBI raids on Georgia election offices. The hosts call out the administration's clumsy, unnecessary chaos—floating wild ideas, saying everything out loud, alienating allies, and stoking division to numb the public—while even moderate voices like Drew express exhaustion at America becoming a global punchline. From Kristi Noem's "just following orders" defense (evoking chilling historical parallels) to Republicans like Thom Tillis publicly distancing themselves, Bland and Pinson warn this isn't about safety or law and order—it's raw power, loyalty tests, and voter suppression dressed up as enforcement.

A must-listen rallying cry against federal overreach, incompetence, and the erosion of rights under a regime that prioritizes chaos over helping everyday Americans.

Left Hook - 22 - Sometimes You Need a Dictator Left Hook - 22 - Sometimes You Need a Dictator Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:34:00 +0000 On The Left Hook, host Mark Bland opened the show by tapping into a feeling many Americans already have: when Donald Trump talks about being a "dictator," it no longer sounds like a joke. Bland argued that the comments feel revealing, not playful, and stressed that dictatorship has never been part of the American tradition or something the public has ever wanted.

Bland connected that rhetoric to Trump's governing style, describing it as transactional and self-serving. He pointed to Trump bypassing Congress, using foreign policy as leverage for personal or political gain, and benefiting financially through branding and crypto ventures—reportedly up to $1.5 billion—while in office. In Bland's view, the line between public duty and private profit has all but disappeared.

Turning to public sentiment, Bland cited new polling showing roughly 70% of Americans believe the country is out of control, including many Republicans and Trump voters. He framed that frustration around everyday realities: high prices, unaffordable housing, broken economic promises, and fear sparked by aggressive immigration enforcement.

The moment that grounded the segment came when Bland shared a personal story: his daughter, usually uninterested in politics, texted him a clip of Trump and asked why a president would talk this way. Bland said that moment underscored what's at stake—young people are watching, learning, and forming opinions in real time. His warning was simple: Americans are exhausted by chaos and are craving leadership that steadies the country instead of rattling it.

The Left Hook - That STL Guy The Left Hook - That STL Guy Thu, 22 Jan 2026 22:57:00 +0000 Today's show takes a fun, non-political detour with special guest Clay Cornett, better known online as That STL Guy — a passionate St. Louis content creator famous for his neighborhood bike tours, history deep-dives, food spots, and events on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Clay shares how his project started as a creative outlet while living in Baltimore during his wife's med school years. Tired of nonstop St. Louis chatter at work, he embraced the nickname 'That STL Guy' and began filming bike rides through all 79 St. Louis City neighborhoods with a GoPro. The videos exploded, building a huge following of people who love the city's pride, quirks, and hidden stories — from educational history to cool local eats.

They geek out over St. Louis lore, like the infamous Bloody Island in the Mississippi (site of historic duels, including Abraham Lincoln's near-miss with James Shields over snarky newspaper letters — Lincoln cleverly chose broadswords!). They touch on heavy topics like Pruitt-Igoe, the 1874 Great Divorce (city-county split), white flight, Delmar Divide, and why St. Louis crime stats get exaggerated due to its tiny 60-square-mile boundaries.

It's a heartfelt love letter to STL pride, bipartisanship, and community — plus congrats to Clay on his upcoming baby! Check out ThatSTLGuy on TikTok for more. Classic St. Louis vibes.

The Left Hook - 20 - Rogue The Left Hook - 20 - Rogue Mon, 12 Jan 2026 17:27:00 +0000 The latest episode of The Left Hook, hosted by Mark Bland with guest Jason Kull, delivers a fiery critique of President Trump's early 2026 actions, framing them as evidence of a rogue presidency detached from law, protocol, and basic decency.

Hosts highlight Trump's unilateral military raid on Venezuela, where U.S. forces abducted President Nicolás Maduro and his wife in early January, whisking them to New York for trial on drug and weapons charges. Trump has declared the U.S. will "run" Venezuela indefinitely, controlling its massive oil reserves and revenues—potentially billions—while claiming it reimburses America and benefits U.S. companies. Critics call this an illegal invasion and resource grab, violating international law and echoing imperial overreach, with no congressional approval and Congress attempting (but likely failing) to limit his war powers. The move has sparked global condemnation, protests, and fears of prolonged occupation.

Tying into domestic overreach, the episode condemns a fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis: 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three Renee Nicole Good was killed by an agent during an immigration operation. Video evidence shows her attempting to drive away, not charge officers, yet DHS and Trump allies labeled it self-defense and smeared her as an agitator. Local leaders demand accountability, but federal takeover of the investigation blocks state access, fueling outrage over clumsy, unnecessary force and impunity under Trump.

Bland and Kull argue Trump disregards norms—kidnapping foreign leaders, seizing assets for personal or national gain, ignoring Congress, and defending deadly errors—while surrounded by figures like Stephen Miller pushing aggressive, unapologetic power plays. They say this transcends left-right divides: it's about decency versus indecency, with calls for impeachment, resignation, or public vote to rein him in before more harm. They are urgent, warning Americans their tax dollars and military enable a leader gone rogue, eroding U.S. reputation worldwide.

Folks, 2026 is here, and Donald Trump is spiraling faster than ever. Just before New Year's, the DOJ dropped a bombshell batch of Epstein files—thousands of pages exposing Trump's desperate attempts to bury his ties to the convicted pedophile. Among the horrors: an FBI tip alleging Trump raped a 13-year-old girl trafficked by Epstein, got her pregnant, then stood by as her uncle murdered the newborn and dumped the body in Lake Michigan. Trump fought tooth and nail to block these releases—why? Because the truth reveals he's hiding decades of depravity.

On Christmas Day, while families celebrated, Trump rage-posted over 100 times on Truth Social, attacking immigrants, whining about 2020, and calling Democrats "radical left scum." No family time—just unhinged grievances from a lonely grifter.

Then came Jack Smith's damning deposition: ironclad proof Trump orchestrated the 2020 election steal and January 6 insurrection. Smith nailed it—Trump's guilty, and he'd prosecute him Republican or Democrat.

America, this criminal in the White House must go. Midterms are coming—vote blue to reclaim our democracy before Trump's chaos destroys us all. Rise up!

Left Hook - 18 - The Hunger Games 2026 Left Hook - 18 - The Hunger Games 2026 Tue, 23 Dec 2025 16:16:00 +0000 Holiday Nostalgia & The Political Landscape of 2026. Hosts Mark Bland and Jason Kull kick off the final show of the year with a warm dive into holiday traditions: strict rules about when Christmas movies are allowed, mandatory Christmas Eve breakfasts, and a shared disdain for warm December weather. They reminisce about the golden age of toys, calculating that the iconic $129 G.I. Joe USS Flagg carrier from the 1980s would cost about $402 in today's dollars—roughly the price of a modern VR headset.

The conversation quickly pivots to a sharp critique of the political moment. The hosts dissect President Trump's proposed "Warrior Dividend"—a $1,776 bonus for 1.5 million service members—calling it a flashy political stunt funded by shuffling existing military budgets rather than new revenue from tariffs. They express frustration with claims of an economic boom that don't match the reality of high prices and a 36% economic approval rating. Looking ahead to July 2026, they darkly compare the planned 250th anniversary celebrations—including a nationwide competition—to The Hunger Games, warning that the year could be "lit" in the most dystopian sense. Despite the heavy satire, the episode ends with a heartfelt Merry Christmas and cautious hope for stability in the year ahead.

In this engaging episode of The Left Hook, host Mark Bland welcomes Fred Wellman, a retired Army veteran, host of the On Democracy podcast, and Democratic candidate challenging longtime Republican Rep. Ann Wagner for Missouri's 2nd Congressional District seat. Wellman, a West Point graduate, Ranger, and helicopter pilot with four combat tours—including Desert Storm and Iraq—shares what drove him to run: frustration with Republican policies that hurt working families, like cuts to healthcare and SNAP, juxtaposed against billionaire excess. He recounts personal stories, including helping his bartender son access Medicaid under the ACA, and contrasts that with GOP rhetoric dismissing young workers as "lazy."

Wellman criticizes Wagner for never holding a town hall in 13 years, refusing constituent engagement, and enabling unchecked executive overreach, vowing to represent all district residents regardless of party.The conversation turns deeply personal as Wellman opens up about the heavy toll of military service—losing two soldiers in Desert Storm, his interpreter beheaded in Iraq, and profound PTSD treated through years of therapy. He reflects on survivor's guilt, the moral weight of ordering troops into harm's way, and how these experiences shape his view that leaders must take war seriously.

Bland and Wellman discuss broader issues like generational wealth decline, skyrocketing housing and energy costs, abortion rights ignored despite Missouri voters passing Amendment 3, and the need for investment in education, healthcare, and veterans rather than endless cuts. Fred positions his campaign as service-driven, promising accessibility and focus on affordability for the next generation.

The duo erupts in disbelief: Republican lawmakers who scream "small government" just made it harder for adults (including themselves) to access legal porn, all while ignoring that the same voters overwhelmingly passed a pro-choice amendment the state refuses to honor. They call it peak hypocrisy: "They'll track your porn but won't release Epstein files or count your vote."

The rant spirals into broader MAGA absurdities: Trump still whining about 2020 five years later, Kash Patel's cosplay FBI jacket, Pete Hegseth's boat-shooting scandal285 shooting narco-subs, pardoning Jan 6 rioters while arresting a "pipe-bomber" nobody cares about, and Joe Rogan parroting nonsense about non-citizens voting in Minnesota.

Mark predicts the first big Trump cabinet casualty will be Hegseth, Bondi, or Patel, bets Jason a milkshake it'll be spun as "Biden's fault," and warns the authoritarian pendulum is swinging hard. It's raw, furious, hilarious Midwestern talk-radio at its finest — equal parts outrage and dark comedy about a country that can't even keep its porn free anymore.

The Left Hook - 15 - Black Friday The Left Hook - 15 - Black Friday Tue, 02 Dec 2025 17:49:00 +0000 Mark Bland unleashes a no-holds-barred takedown of Donald Trump's chaotic second term. Coming off a personally tough holiday, Bland argues the real "black" in Black Friday 2025 isn't the shopping deals; it's the darkening economic picture the administration is desperately trying to hide.

He spotlights the unprecedented cancellation of the third-quarter GDP report (the third major economic indicator scrapped in weeks), blaming mass deportations, new tariffs, and a lingering government shutdown for pushing the U.S. toward recession. Bland contrasts this year's generic, Great Value Thanksgiving dinners with the name-brand abundance Americans enjoyed under Biden, accusing Trump of gaslighting voters while quietly admitting his own policies are tanking the economy.

From the turkey-pardoning stage turning into an angry rant against Chuck and Nancy, to Trump seemingly shrugging "just say yes" when asked if he's a fascist, Bland paints a picture of a presidency spiraling into pettiness, dementia-fueled loops, and authoritarian cosplay. Add Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation, ICE detaining U.S. citizens, the abrupt collapse of Elon's DOGE experiment, and Pete Hegseth picking fights with war hero Mark Kelly, and Bland declares: the chaos isn't coming; it's already here.

A passionate call for adults to demand transparency and accountability in a country that feels increasingly run like a reality-TV dictatorship.

Top of the list: the long-promised Epstein files. After months of stalling and letting Kash Patel twist in the wind, Trump finally signed a 30-day release order—everyone expects a comically redacted black-bar disaster because his name is all over the existing docs and the dismissed 2016 lawsuit alleging he raped a 13-year-old still haunts the files. On Air Force One, Trump pointed at a female reporter and snarled "Quiet, piggy," with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt (who was 15 when her 60-year-old husband was 47) defending it as "frankness Americans love." A coalition of Democratic lawmakers and veterans dropped a viral video telling troops and intel officers to refuse illegal orders—cue MAGA screaming "sedition" and "death penalty" from the same crowd that pardoned January 6 insurrectionists. The Coast Guard quietly declared the OK hand gesture no longer a hate symbol, and Grok spent the week bending over backwards to call Trump's misogyny "playful" until xAI had to admit they tweaked the AI. From top to bottom, every accusation is a confession, and the mask isn't just off—it's been shredded, burned, and scattered over Mar-a-Lago's lawn.

The Left Hook - 13 - Dropped Ball The Left Hook - 13 - Dropped Ball Tue, 18 Nov 2025 18:41:00 +0000 Centrist host Mark Bland is done with the modern Democratic Party. In a fiery 40+ minute solo rant, he declares the 2024 loss wasn't just Trump's win; it was self-inflicted by spineless liberal leadership.

The trigger? Eight Democratic senators (Fetterman, Kaine, Durbin, Shaheen, Hassan, Rosen, Cortez Masto, Angus King) broke ranks and voted with Republicans to reopen the government, restoring SNAP benefits but surrendering all leverage. Bland calls it the ultimate capitulation: "Checks and balances are real, but folding the second things get hard is why we lost."

He torches Schumer, Fetterman ("a really tall idiot"), and the entire 2025 liberal class as "feckless and useless," accuses senators of pocketing massive retroactive paychecks while Americans suffered, and says local St. Louis-area liberals flake on commitments the same way national Dems flake on principle.

Bland, a longtime moderate who's pulled from both sides, now sounds the alarm: the party needs a complete leadership purge before 2026 midterms. He's still pro-liberal policies (universal healthcare, etc.) but refuses to carry water for cowards anymore.

Bonus burns: Trump got mercilessly booed at a Commanders game, Epstein files are allegedly coming, and the party that claims to fight the rich just handed senators fat checks.

Mark Bland is officially off the plantation. The Left Hook just went fully independent.

In New York City, 34-year-old Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani demolished former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa with a commanding victory—the highest turnout in 50 years, exceeding 2 million ballots—becoming the city's first Muslim, first South Asian, and first African-born mayor, and the youngest in over a century. Mamdani's victory roar, "Donald Trump, turn the volume up!", vowed free childcare, universal buses, and a crackdown on predatory landlords like Trump, framing it as a mandate for working families amid national chaos. Bland hailed it as the opening salvo of a 2026 blue tsunami, amplified by Nancy Pelosi's retirement after 39 years, clearing the path for AOC and Gavin Newsom to lead the resistance. Meanwhile, Trump's tariffs are crushing households with a $1,200 annual tax hike, driving inflation to 3% and core prices higher for apparel and furniture—eggs linger at $5–6 a dozen, gas far from $2. The 46-day government shutdown, ending November 10 after bipartisan Senate passage, gutted SNAP benefits, furloughed feds, and slashed flights 10%—worse than the worst U.S. cancellation day, every day—while Trump refused negotiations. Elon Musk branded Mamdani a "charismatic swindler" on Joe Rogan's podcast, stumbling when pressed for proof—pure projection, Bland declared, after Musk's own chainsaw stunts with Trump. New York's message rings clear: Trumpism is toxic. Bland urged listeners to organize; Impeachment 3.0 is loading.

The Left Hook -11 - Advance the Relationship The Left Hook -11 - Advance the Relationship Tue, 04 Nov 2025 21:47:00 +0000 On The Left Hook, hosted by Mark Bland, guests Producer Bobby Hickman and Jason Kull dive into a lively mix of politics, sports, and pop culture. The episode kicks off with a discussion on the World Series, touching on potential MLB expansions in cities like Nashville and Portland. The conversation shifts to global sports, including the NFL's international ambitions and a futuristic elevated stadium in Qatar for the 2034 World Cup.

Politically, the trio critiques Donald Trump's claim of acing a dementia screening, which he called a high IQ test, raising concerns about his mental health and leadership. They debate JD Vance's appeal, with Bobby citing his "vibe" but acknowledging his factual inaccuracies. The discussion highlights fears of authoritarianism and a government shutdown, criticizing Republican tactics. Speculation about Trump's health, including possible strokes, and conspiracies about Epstein files and a third term via Vance add intrigue. The episode also critiques the Louisiana governor's involvement in selecting LSU's next football coach, blending sports and politics. It wraps up with a fun segment on the worst TV families, like the Boltons and Lannisters from Game of Thrones, and favorite Halloween candies, with Laffy Taffys and Reese's topping the list.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows 55% of Americans, including 29% of Republicans, believe Trump is using federal law enforcement to target enemies like James Comey and Letitia James, fueling concerns about political division, with 67% worried about conflict and 61% viewing redistricting as harmful to democracy. Bland and Kull criticize Trump's "retribution tour," noting his inflammatory rhetoric and GOP's tolerance of Nazi symbols and white nationalist support, despite their anti-Democrat stance. They question Trump's incoherent "Gulf of America" remarks and his fixation on a lavish White House ballroom over healthcare. The episode shifts gears with a fun Tournament of Pop Culture, pitting classic sports video games like *Tecmo Super Bowl*, *NBA Jam*, and *Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!* against each other.

He dives into a Mother Jones exposé revealing racist texts from young Republican leaders, aged 24-35, including slurs and violent rhetoric like gas chamber threats. Vice President J.D. Vance dismissed these as "edgy jokes" on Charlie Kirk's show, drawing criticism for GOP hypocrisy. Bland calls this "Hitlergate," highlighting the party's failure to condemn such rhetoric, tying it to broader Republican embrace of divisive ideologies, including Nazi references and Civil War statue defenses. He questions their logic, noting the contradiction in celebrating historical Democrats while decrying socialism. Bland also critiques Trump's incoherent "reverse bathtub" remarks and a Middle East peace deal with Israel and Hamas, suspecting ulterior motives with Netanyahu. He addresses Joe Rogan's disappointment with Trump's deportation policies, accusing Rogan of enabling hate.

Bland criticizes Trump's claims of cities being "war zones," arguing they lack evidence and reflect an East Coast-West Coast divide.

Bland suggests Trump's moves, including a government shutdown, aim to protect himself from potential Epstein file revelations, alleging he's targeting citizens rather than illegal immigrants. He condemns groups like Rose City Antifa for fueling Trump's narrative by engaging in confrontational protests, urging non-violent resistance. Bland warns of Trump's authoritarian push, enabled by Republican support, and calls for accountability, especially if Epstein allegations prove true.

Mark Bland dives into two big political stories. First, he unpacks a recent high-profile military meeting where Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushed a bold new vision for the armed forces, focusing on a tougher mindset and controversial changes to department priorities. Bland notes the chilly response from military leaders, hinting at unease with talk of redirecting focus to domestic issues, which some see as a risky shift in tone. He ties this to broader concerns about state-level plans, like Missouri's, to ramp up security measures.

Second, Bland tackles the ongoing government shutdown, sparked by a congressional standoff over budget disputes. With hundreds of thousands of federal workers sidelined and millions in daily costs piling up, the closure's hitting everything from public services to economic confidence. Bland points to past shutdowns under similar leadership, criticizing the lack of compromise and growing political divides that threaten stability. He warns that these moves could signal a troubling direction for the country, urging listeners to stay sharp.

They wrap up with a lively discussion on the 2025 song of the summer, championing Chappell Roan's *Pink Pony Club* over Billboard's pick. *The Left Hook* blends humor, nostalgia, and sharp political commentary, engaging listeners with its eclectic mix. The Left Hook - World Records and Prayers The Left Hook - World Records and Prayers Thu, 04 Sep 2025 15:44:00 +0000 From St. Louis, Missouri, The Left Hook with host Mark Bland airs on CBS Radio Networks(WIBH/KRLL) , delivering a one-hour blend of independent politics and pop culture with a progressive edge. This week, Mark welcomes returning guest Marcus Boston for a candid, hard-hitting discussion. They tackle the recent Annunciation Catholic School shooting, where two children died and 17 were injured, sparking a feud between White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt and Jen Psaki, now an MSNBC host. Psaki criticized "thoughts and prayers" on social media, pushing for gun control, while Leavitt called her remarks disrespectful to faith communities, highlighting tensions over religion and gun policy. Mark and Marcus debate why guns dominate these tragedies, citing Australia's Port Arthur reforms as a model, and question Congress's failure, especially among Republicans, to enact common-sense gun laws.The conversation critiques the Trump administration's polarizing tactics, like deploying National Guard troops to liberal cities such as Chicago, seen as provocative rather than problem-solving. They explore how money fuels political dysfunction, from lobbying to Trump's private equity deals, dismantling 250 years of federal systems. Marcus views Trump as embodying "the real America," contrasting with Obama's hopeful era of economic recovery. They challenge inflammatory rhetoric, like Leavitt's response to labeling trans people as potential domestic terrorists, and debunk stereotypes about mass shooters, noting young white males predominate. Mark argues a leader like Bernie Sanders could have shifted priorities toward public funding and people-first policies. With sharp wit and raw honesty, The Left Hook dissects school shootings, religion, and systemic issues, urging listeners to confront America's challenges. Tune in for a thought-provoking hour that pulls no punches, delivering a progressive "jab, jab, left hook" to spark change.]]> 44:55 false full mark@theqnow.com (Mark Bland)From St. Louis, Missouri, The Left Hook with host Mark Bland airs on CBS Radio Networks(WIBH/KRLL) , delivering a one-hour blend of independent politics and pop culture with a progressive edge.

Putin tells Trump they can meet in Alaska where the world finds out that Trump is a super Putin fan and Putin couldn't care any less about the USA and Trump. After the failed meeting Trump walked away with no concessions and no hope. 

Then he trounced to Washington DC to meet with world leaders and Zalensky regarding the Ukraine war. Trump had nothing to offer and made a laughing stock of his own meetings. All in all the USA walked away from this with less than they started with. And now Putin knows that Trump is his puppet.

Shortened to one hour due to a Blues playoff game, the show blends sharp political critique with pop culture banter, focusing on Trump's foreign policy and administration chaos.
 
The episode opens with a Moscow Times report alleging Trump's involvement in a planned Moscow Trump Tower, explaining his pro-Russia stance amid stalled Ukraine-Russia peace talks. Bland and Cole criticize Trump for prioritizing personal gain over U.S. interests, noting Ukraine's rejection of U.S. proposals to cede territory and its shift to NATO allies. They highlight Trump's ineffective Truth Social pleas to Putin and dismiss his real estate focus as irrelevant to domestic issues like infrastructure.
 
The hosts then address dysfunction in Trump's circle, citing a near-physical clash between Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent over IRS leadership, devolving into accusations of being a "Soros agent." They debunk Trump's claims of low grocery prices, using Grok to confirm egg prices nearly doubled from $3.37 to $6.23 per dozen since April 2024. Bland calls Trump's team "whiny" and urges Republicans to offer substantive solutions.
For levity, the hosts discuss BuzzFeed's gross behind-the-scenes facts from films like The Paperboy (Nicole Kidman urinating on Zac Efron) and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (unwashed costumes in 100-degree heat). They tangent into It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia debates, maintaining their irreverent charm.
 
Closing with thanks to listeners and Gateway Fiber, Bland and Kull vow to "make everyone proud." The episode appeals to politically engaged moderates, blending outrage at Trump's leadership with humor, reflecting the polarized climate of 2025.

The main topic of discussion quickly became "Liberation Day," which coincided with the implementation of new tariffs by Donald Trump. The hosts expressed significant concern about the economic fallout, drawing parallels to the historically damaging Smoot-Hawley Act. They highlighted the negative reaction in the stock market and the potential for job losses in sectors like automaking. The tariffs were portrayed as illogical and harmful to US allies, potentially driving them towards alternative partnerships, such as with China.

The conversation also touched on Elon Musk's waning influence after an unsuccessful political investment and his reported upcoming departure from Trump's administration. A significant segment focused on Laura Loomer, who allegedly presented Trump with a list of disloyal government officials, leading to the firing of several individuals based on loyalty. The hosts deemed this a dangerous precedent.

The latter part of the show featured an interview with Dr. Julie Scott, the current vice president running for re-election to the Wentzville School Board. Dr. Scott advocated for the importance of local elections, the Propel proposition to fund schools, and a focus on students' needs over political agendas. She voiced her frustrations with the current board's functionality and discussed the negative campaigning she had experienced. Bland and Cole strongly endorsed Dr. Scott, encouraging listeners in the Wentzville district to vote for her. The hosts identified themselves as "Midwestern moderate liberals".

The QNow - 638 - Change is Coming The QNow - 638 - Change is Coming Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:08:00 +0000 On this episode of The Qnow, Don Looney returns to the scene of the crime from his last show and the boys are too excited to see him. 

First off the guys decide to discuss local web boards  and the typr of people that are on them and how they should act. What should and shouldn't be posted as well as anything else that falls into the peripheral discussion, the guys tackle it. 

Next up it seems Russia is be coming best friends with the United States. After a recent yelling match at the White House with Zalensky, Donald Trump kicked the Ukrainian crew out of the White House and they left without a peace deal on the table. This shocked the rest of the world as they started to pour in with their opinions regarding NATO and Ukraine and the United States. Meanwhile Trump decided to try and make English the official national language of America.... Because that is more important than people dying in war.

 Finally Donald Trump decided to release the Epstein list. To do this he grabbed a bunch of social media influencers and flew them the Washington DC so that he could hand them big white binders with all of the pages redacted. Then they went out on TV like a WWE skit and pretended that they had gotten something important. But none of the influencers could hold back so they ended up posting all the stuff they got and everybody was completely disappointed. The guys finally talk about this. All this and much more on the newest episode of The Qnow.

The QNow - 637 - It Matters to Me The QNow - 637 - It Matters to Me Mon, 24 Feb 2025 20:46:00 +0000 First up, Mark Bland and Jasom Kull do a deep dive into Trumps latest decree of "Long Live the King". Trump seems to have forgotten that Washington and the forefathers specifically forbode there being a King because that is what caused all their issues in the first place. So why make the new place like the old place. So being a king was looked down on. But is it in 2025. There is a group of people so hell bent on being slaves to the rich that they are willing to cheer someone like Trump for these things. Mark warns everyone of the dangers of normalizing sensationalism as a joke or some thing of no real value. Eventually it becomes the norm. 

Next up is the special guests of the show. Liam and Aimee Robertson join the show to discuss the White House and the Missouri government to go after Section 504 Protections in the USA. A Lawsuit originating in Texas targeted section 504 because of their own states vague language that they want to apply in a weird way to LGBTQ, and more specific Trans children. The reasoning is just as foreign originating idea that there needs to be a law for helping our disabled ever. This sets of Mark and Jason....and....LIAM!!! Liam is excited to be on the show and lets everyone know where he stands and how he feels about the entire Section 504 discussion.

On this episode of The QNow…

It turns out Elon Musk is actually the president—at least according to a surprising source: his own 5-year-old son, Little X. After overhearing private conversations between Musk and Donald Trump, the child reportedly strolled into the Oval Office and declared that Trump needs to "shush his mouth" because he is not the President of the United States.

Mark and Jason break down the implications of this unexpected revelation and how, as fathers, they recognize when kids are simply repeating what they hear at home.

Plus, the hosts revisit a key moment from Trump's first term—when CNN and other major networks began cutting away from his press conferences as he spewed falsehoods and nonsense.

No matter where you stand politically, one thing is clear: Trump's presidency has been a disaster, not just in the eyes of political analysts, world leaders, and everyday Americans—but even in the judgment of a 5-year-old. Meanwhile, Elon Musk remains glued to Trump's side, despite not being the VP. That honor goes to JD Vance—who, let's be honest, has become the biggest cuck in politics, while Musk steals the spotlight week after week.

All this and more, on The QNow!

First off Jenna Roberson joins us to discuss her campaign and the eventual loss of Kamala Harris to Donald Trump. Jenna discusses some of the finer nuances of why the Democrats failed and what they need to do to get back on the horse.

 Next up the guys discuss the fact that Elon Musk wants to immigrate more foreigners to the United States while the entire MAGA backing that he has is into deporting people. How will these two things fly in the face of each other? What other things has Donald Trump said he would do that he is going to turn his back on and do the opposite?

Finally we do a quick ranker review of the best movies of Nicolas Cage. This comes on the heels of an earlier conversation in the episode where Mark claims that Nicholas Cage might be the best actor we have working today. Take a listen as they break down the top 10 movies from him and figure out if Nicholas Cage is one of the best in the business.

The QNow - 629 - XMas 2024 The QNow - 629 - XMas 2024 Mon, 23 Dec 2024 21:28:00 +0000 Well still in the bunker until January 2nd but that is okay, we are slowly drawing back to our situation with 105.3 KYRO and FOX News. After being told to take a break because of cussing on the air from a guest...and because we are liberal in our stances and Kamala lost the election....the first STL people to be suspended by the Feds....which makes us the HOWARD STERN of the 2020's. The Liberal rogan. For sure! So get on the train now while you can, we are taking off with this thing!

On this episode It is christmas, Evidently it's Christmas for Elon Musk too because he has decided to make himself president of the United States and then order Congress to do things that they should never listen to an unelected official. So now we walk into 2025 with the president of the United States having dementia and a bunch of people who were not elected making all the decisions.

 On top of this you have all the Matt Gaetz stuff that just came out that we were right about on this show for two straight years. All of his Congressional colleagues investigated him and found out that he was the child abusing sex predator that many in that party aspire to be. But why can't they figure these guys out under their noses? 

Finally it is the Xmas Show, and we discuss some Christmassy stuff as opposed to our typical political discussion! 

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Before even reclaiming the presidency, Trump's Project 2025 is a clear sign of betrayal: slashing Social Security, gutting Medicare, and prioritizing corporate profits over the very voters who elected him. Mark and Jason lay out the facts and expose the consequences of these policies for everyday Americans, particularly in red states like Missouri, where the impact will be severe.

But it doesn't stop there. The duo also tackles the growing influence of Elon Musk, dissecting how his unchecked power and agenda could reshape society in troubling ways. From pushing his political beliefs to flexing his influence on platforms like X, Elon's rise is as dangerous as it is unchecked.

Engaging, unfiltered, and bold, Mark Bland and Jason Kull deliver another thought-provoking episode packed with hard truths and sharp analysis. Don't miss The QNow—where we cut through the noise and get to the heart of the issues that matter. Available now on all streaming platforms!

On this week's episode of The QNow, Mark Bland and Jason Kull dove into an eclectic mix of topics that showcased their sharp wit and unfiltered commentary. The discussion kicked off with a look at DOGE and a playful take on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Mark and Jason envisioned this satirical department as a reflection of bureaucratic absurdities, highlighting the challenges of holding public institutions accountable. The segment combined humor and critique to emphasize the need for better governance.

Next, the conversation turned to a controversial move by Elon Musk—dubbed "Ironbolt"—and his alleged involvement in cutting Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. The hosts dissected the potential motivations and repercussions of such a decision, critiquing how billionaires like Musk can wield outsized influence over policy. Mark emphasized the ethical implications, while Jason offered insights into how veterans might mobilize in response.

The episode reached a dramatic peak with a segment on the "United Healthcare Assassination" of Brian Thompson and the subsequent manhunt. This mysterious figure, reportedly linked to the insurance giant, became a metaphor for the frustrations Americans face with the healthcare system. Mark and Jason discussed the pervasive inequities in healthcare, using the "assassination" and ensuing manhunt as a tongue-in-cheek symbol for the bureaucracy that undermines patient care.

After the Thanksgiving show they were told by the station head that the FCC was alerted to them and their cussing and liberal ways on this FOX station. And evidently after a conversation from Arlington, VA....Mark and Jason were removed from the radio. So this show is more a break down of what happened and how we view the entire situation. I'm sure other broadcasters will find out the truth for themselves and probably end up in the same boat we are with it. 

As of the taping of this show, the gentlemen DID NOT KNOW their fates. 

There special guest on this episode is Matt Krueger!

First up, Mark and Jason has a real bone to pick with Mr. Looney and the Democratic party in the areas around where Mark and Jason live. Mark specifically has issues with uncharismatic people running for office, and people unwilling to throw back at people that were clearly making things up the entire time. Why is it Mark and Jason work so hard to help that which they think is proper, just to have them never help back. The men discuss what did and didn't happen in the 2024 election.


Next up was the tournament of pop culture for the best movie villain ever. Mark, Jason, and Don break down some of the greatest movie villains that have ever existed and try to figure out who is the best overall. When the guys get to their main event of the tournament that's when everything goes sideways for the Q now as a show! Listen as the internet breaks over 3/4 of a cuss word we bleeped out.

 Finally the entire country was talking about the fact that Mike Tyson and Jake Paul faced off in what was deemed one of the more boring boxing matches of History. Plus one of the worst streaming debacles of current history. It was very tough to watch Mike Tyson not fall back into his prior iconic form. And the guys decide to give their two cents on what they thought about the most watched boxing match of the last 20 years.

Then it's on to a tournament of Pop culture: Most Quotable Horror Villain. Who makes you want to repeat their lines over and over. "Do you want to play a game" for the 2010's for sure!

Lucas Kunce and Josh Hawley decided to face off in the most absurd wanna be debate of any senators career! It was amazing to watch and Jenna Roberson is here to discuss it! 

First Up is the Hawley/Kunce debacle. Josh Hawley decided to find Lucas Kunce at the Missouri State Fair and ambush him with a camera crew trying to get him to debate him live. Hawley wanted a Lincoln Douglas style debate and Kuntz just wanted to argue with Holly about how he's not the right man for the job. In the end everybody was given a lot of funny things to watch.  Mark Bland, Jason Kull and Jenna Roberson discuss.

Next up it seems that schools are a hot bed of issues in the USA. Currently the Francis Howell School Board is off it's rocker and trying to ban books like it is 1950. Trump is claiming they are going to do away with the Dept of education. And it's a major point of contention between Jenna Roberson and her November opponent. The guys discuss these aspects and try to figure out if there's any value to getting rid of the Department of Education.

 Finally have you ever thought of mayonnaise as a sweet smell that you'd love to rub all over yourself for a special someone? Well Will Levis of the Tennessee Titans has designed a cologne that smells like mayonnaise. The guys discuss if this is even something worth people's time.

The guys discuss the events that took place and how this bodes for the country moving forward in the 2024 election.  Next up, is the Republican National Convention and all the stories coming out of it. Even the boring Trump speech at the end. But before all that, JD VANCE was picked as the VP candidate to go along with Trump. Mark and the guys seem to think that JD is a yes man and that he brings nothing of value to the table. The gentlemen discuss this new nominee pick!  Finally, there are ways to tell if someone is very intelligent. How many of these things do you tick off on the list...so how intelligent are you?

This weeks guest is former candidate and political advisor to the show John Scheper! 

First things first, it seems that Biden is still battling the demons from the Debate a few weeks ago. Everyone wants him to step down and/or pivot to another candidate. But are there any that could potentially handle the onslaught from the Trump supporters. The guys discuss the debate, and the options on the board for Biden moving forward.

Next up it seems that Project 2025 (we discussed on the last show) is gaining a ton of steam from the right people. It looks a like a doom and gloom novel that republicans seem to be alright with. It strips people of many services including public education? Now are they really gonna try and find a baby sitter now, when their kids were fine in school as it stands currently? 

Finally we have three so we are doing the Mid-summer classic Tournament of Pop Culture. This time we focus on baseball movies and which one is the best overall. Mark saw this bracket broke down somehwere else and couldn't believe that one movie beat all the others. The Qnow is setting out to prove what is the best overall baseball movie of all time!

First up, There was a presidential debate and everyone knows that Biden looked bad, but the guys and gals breakdown more of this debate and put the proper context on how things should be viewed. Yes, Biden is old, but he answered the questions. Trump is also the same old and he didn't answer any of them really. Would you rather have a focused leader or some idiot that is all over the place. They will discuss.

Trump is battling tons of issues right now, but the SCOTUS just decided that they are unwilling to hear the Trump immunity case before the election in November. Problem for everyone is that this is pretty open and shut. But with this new decision, it's making people think that the president gets unlimited power and control. Which makes Trump look dangerous and bad person. 

Finally, Project 2025 is a sycophant's fever dream of revamping the federal government into a conservative windfall. Replacing all employees with ones only loyal to the republican party and Trump (currently) as well as forcing other issues and creating a generally not useful government system. It's really a scary thing and the guys talk about all the aspects and whether this will come to pass or not.

First up, Mark and Jason Kull decide to do a little housekeeping and promote a parade walking event in the St. Louis area for multiple municipalities. But when we start talking, we start discussing. And when that happens we want news of the week. This week Trump lost a few keep battles for primaries and they were some eye opening losses. Especially since he has a favorable Republican national position. But alas, Trump lost those players because they got primaried. This leads to talk of Boebert, MTG and reckless people on the fringe of politics. 

Next up It's a Tournament of Pop culture: Best 2000's Comedy movie. Oh yes, the movies that brought Rated R comedy back to the movie theaters. And we have 4 strong sections: Will Ferrell, Jud Apatow, Teen and Wildcard. Which movie will stand above the others as the best comedy of the 2000's. Well tune in and find out. 

Finally, Quid Pro Quo is a bad thing. But with current SCOTUS members being chastised for accepting LAVISH GIFTS (their words) for services to help their businesses through the courts...It looks like the court is able to be bought. Only after Trump did the world even consider the court could be bought. Mark and Jason look at this new decision where they made it legal to accept gifts for services. As long as they don't say what the service is today, and wait a while to throw you a couple bones for it. Our country is literally a cheap house for sale at all times. Crazy this is 2024.

But not for the best radio duo in the STL  and on FOX News KYRO! 

No guest this week, so it's just Mark and Jason. But to start things off, it seems Trump is in more trouble with moves he has been making in business. This time regarding his campaign and a company that recieved 3.1 Million in donations in 6 total months. The company is not known to be in the Political game, but it's Trumps war chest that paid out the money to them. The guys discuss!

Up next might be the craziest story we have ever discussed on this St. Louis based radio program in it's history. This give the werewolf show with Jonathan a run for it's money! Cori Bush is a Congressional Rep from St. Louis City. Cori Recently went on an interview and stated that she can heal people through touch. Like jesus. She even recounted the story for PBS and their news division...which led to a viral clip of her explaining she can do it. It's wild and make Jay and Mark ask so many other questions...take a listen and enjoy this ride. 

Finally a Ranker review was what was in order for this episode. And the guys deliver on this promise at all levels. This might be one of the best topics ever. Best Action Movie Duo's/Partners! There are so many great action movies...Tango and Cash...Riggs and Murtaugh...Dom and Brian. With so many options and some iconinc ones in there, it is tough to figure out if this list holds up or falls apart. Find out on this episode of the QNow.

First up, state politics always baffles the minds of our stalwart national politico's such as Jason Kull and Mark Bland.

The team discusses and then onto the real game, can Jenna get a debate with her oppoenent at all for their upcoming matchup? Everyone discusses!

It made Trump look more guilty and like the system was still working good...and...it helped the democrats moving forward with their arguments against Trump. But Hunter didn't want to spend 25 yrs in prison and this was not some false flag black op BS thiing the republicans made up to try and downplay Biden's issues.

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!

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!

First up Roy and Courtney sit in with Mark Bland and Jason Kull to discuss the problems that have been happening in St. Louis Community Radio Station KDHX 88.1. Since 2019 it seems things have not been going swimmingly at the station. Many VOLUNTEER DJ's and station members have been fired or left after dealing with the head of the station Kelly Wells and Board head Gary Pierson over decision being made on behalf the volunteers without their consent. Mark has his own story of merit that shows making bad decisions has been part of the station for years, but this new decision seems to be attacking the very fabric of what makes the station work and tick!

Next up Super tuesday 2024 came and went with a whimper. As expected, Trump continues to make other criminals who haven't done their crimes yet, feel good about themselves. Noted that Nikki Haley dropped out of the race after winning Vermont (which should be a red flag for Trump) but not before refusing to endorse him...and going as far as to label him a loser. 

Finally, what are some of your bad habits that you think others notice? Well a study was done to tell us about some eating and food habits that turn others off a lot! Slurping your soup....eating off someone elses plate? Plus remember those old infomercials and the exercise equipment they were always hawking to everyone? Well there is a story that popped up and sent Mark and Jason down memory lane...come join them for the ride!

First up, Marcus comes back to let Mark and everyone know that he is definitely not dating any white women anymore. This comes on the heels of Mark asking Marcus about black culture and how they view black men dating or marrying white women. Mark noticed that many famous black men have white wives and he was curious as to how others view this in black culture. 

Next, The KC Chiefs have become Super Bowl champions...but this didn't stop some people from committing a mass shooting at their parade. Mark, Jason and Marcus discuss the gun isssues in our society and how to fix these things. When shootings are happening at celebrations, you know the country is currently spiraling out of control. 

Then its time to move onto the finale of the tournament of pop culture. The guys have 4 movies that are in the finale. After 64 movies went toe to toe for who stands tall, these men will figure out who reigns supreme. 

Finally, When marcus comes on, Mark needs to figure out why he has so much trouble in the dating world. So Mark asks some Am I the A-Hole questions to both Jason and Marcus to figure out how they process some issues are having and maybe open up a path to figuring out Marcus once and for all.

First up is the Iowa caucus for 2024 and our friend Donald Trump has easily won a red state where we obviously knew he was going to win. But what does this mean for America and all of us who are watching from the sides. This man has criminal issues and indictments that should hold him off of the ballot but he still continues to campaign and get support. We discussed the Iowa caucus and the future of America between the guys.

 Next up is a tournament of Pop Culture that we didn't expect to have but we have it now. This tournament is based off of cop movies. Movies like Training Day and Beverly Hills Cop. We take 16 of them and break it down to figure out which movie was the best cop/police movie. Did your favorite movie make the list because Mark definitely did not make this list... so we don't know. But tune in and join the guys as we decide who is the most entertaining and best cop movie.

 Finally there are things that are red flags and people's houses that most of us understand and know. These are unspoken things but when you see them pop up you definitely know that you don't want to be at that house. Mark Bland, Jason Kull and Jonathan May discuss these Oddities and bring some of their own to the table. All this and much more on the newest episode of The Q now.

 First up it's obvious the GOP is in disarray because Hunter Biden showed up at their Congressional meeting and decided to leave right before MTG spoke! This left everyone in the building speechless and even the CNN camera's left the event to follow Hunter and his team into the halls with their cameras. Taking the cameras away from the GOP really was the worst thing for them because they didn't get to pretend and put on a show for America. The gentleman discuss.

 Next up we discuss Keegan and where he grew up and a little bit about his background in the game of magic. Keegan asked for the guys to bring a deck of cards so that they were sealed and they knew that he hadn't touched them. He proceeds to discuss his upbringing, a little about his wife and their early year as well as the ability to perform tricks on the fly and how people respond. Next up the guys are treated to getting to see Keegan in full form! 

Finally Mark told Keegan before the show started that there was a special ending to it. Mark found a list of objects that may or may not be able to fit in a human butt. So the question really is "will it fit in a butt"? Download to find out!

Jenna joins Mark Bland and Jason Kull on this first episode of the 2024 election year.

 First up Mark brings to the table a weird story regarding Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets. Rogers accused Jimmy Kimmel of being on the Epstein list which Jimmy Kimmel did not like. And understandably so when you accuse people of being pedophiles. Kimmel lashed out and tweeted back that he was going to sue Aaron Rodgers and then he needed to watch his mouth. Mark and the guys discussed this topic and that leads to their next attempt.

 Next up our wonderful guests and hosts decide to try and figure out who might be on Epstein's list before they read it. Each of them take turns choosing a name until they have selected three names to be potentially on the list. Do they pick the people you're thinking or are they going after people you don't consider to be a threat for this list? Tune in and find out who they think is on it.

 Finally there are questions that people just feel they can't ask in public. Mark reached out to a bunch of people and ask them for questions that they typically would not ask others in public but are questions that they thought across their minds... And some of the questions are pretty on the spot sensitive and not something you would ask in public. Find out what these guys answered by listening to this new episode of The Q.

And this year the guys welcome Brendan Olson, STL comeidan, to the show to talk about the best comedy christmas movies! 

First up, Trump is a bad boy and has been for some time. Well the Colorado Supreme Court stepped up and states that Donald can not be on the ballot for the upcoming 2024 election year. Of course this immediately made republicans mad and want to take Biden off ballots in states like florida and Texas (go figure). This constant "If you do that, I should do it too" playground childishness is stupid. As dumb as their supporters and followers of his CULT...that's right we think it is a cult at this point. 

Next up the guys decide to do a Ranker Review of the Best Comedy Christmas Movies of all time. There of course were some serious heavyweights on that list including Christmas Story and The Grinch (with Jim Carrey). Did the list hold up...and what Xmas movie that everyone has seen, that Olson did not see and claim he will watch after the show??? Listen and find out...

Finally Brendan had to hit the Hot Seat for 5 questions and the guys finish out the show with some unpopular opinions and discussing their merit in our sensitive world of 2023. All this and much more...plus the entire QNow staff wishes you all a very Merry Christmas. May Santa bring you everything you deserve!

The QNow - 580 - Breaking the Law The QNow - 580 - Breaking the Law Thu, 07 Dec 2023 20:46:00 +0000 Jenna Roberson, Candidate for Missouri State Congress, joins once again to keep these two politicos, Mark Bland and Jason Kull, in check. 

First up, not a week goes by that something stupid doesn't come out the mouth of Donald Trump. This week was no excpetion and along with election deniers having to change their legal tune or end up footing the bill that Trump will never pay...Donald once again pu this foot in his mouth with Sean Hannity. During a live interview on FOX, Trump explained that he would be a dictator for 1 day...closing the borders and drilling for Oil (which we do more now that even during his presidency).  Well this obviously is not sitting well with many because he said he would do the thing everyone is claiming is a bad thing...being a dictator. The exact opposite the beliefs and wishes of the forefathers. So the crew discusses this issue.

Next up is Kevin McCarthy deciding he doesn't want to work in congress anymore. So he is retiring and leaving the other mental geniuses footing the bill. This comes after his disasterous attempts to be a shill for Trump and other election deniers...plus it taking 15 straight votes for his seat as the Speaker of the House. His exit can't come quick enough for the next round of the Tournament of Pop Culture: Biggest Jerk in TV/Movie history....who will join the three others in the final of the ultimate Jerk.

Finally NO STUPID QUESTIONS is a new game that Mark brings to the table for everyone. Some questions are ones that people are typically afraid to ask others simply out of regret or anxiety of how they will be viewed. Well Mark found a place where they love to load up the questions and Mark and team will knock down the answers...and tell everyone...if it is indeed a stupid question or not!

James Dean is fresh off directing his newest film called XXX-mas! Starring one of our own and friend of the show Jonathan May! James is no spring chicken and has been working in and on movies for a while now. A huge horror buff, James joins to talk with Mark Bland and Jason Kull about the production, his costs and address things that Mark brings up regarding other movies in the same vein and how he approached that as he made this movie. 

But before that, Mark and Jason have to talk some politics and this week was great with Hunter Biden stating that he would like to do any depositions or interviews regarding his "crimes" in a public forum. The public aspect made the republicans blush fast and backpedal because everyone can watch and see the things they want to be able to make up and put out there. Instead they now have a person wanting to go public and out them for the bad people they are...and it seems this is becoming the norm. People want to out bad people, especially republicans and their supporters. 

Finally, it is Week three of the TOPC: Biggest TV/Movie Jerks of ALL TIME! We have some heavyweights moving into this weeks bracket, including a recent final four player named George Costanza. What's interesting is that even with a change of topic and focus, the idea of being the lovable jerk is coming through in this competition too. It's what helped get us the Best TV character of All time...and now with some movie charcters in the mix, it's helping us find the people that could move thru. Did Costanza make it through...take a listen and find out!

James Dean is fresh off directing his newest film called XXX-mas! Starring one of our own and friend of the show Jonathan May! James is no spring chicken and has been working in and on movies for a while now. A huge horror buff, James joins to talk with Mark Bland and Jason Kull about the production, his costs and address things that Mark brings up regarding other movies in the same vein and how he approached that as he made this movie.  But before that, Mark and Jason have to talk some politics and this week was great with Hunter Biden stating that he would like to do any depositions or interviews regarding his "crimes" in a public forum. The public aspect made the republicans blush fast and backpedal because everyone can watch and see the things they want to be able to make up and put out there.

Next up joins John Kiehne. John is running for congress against Ann Wagner in the St. Louis area. To get the seat in the heavily Red State, John has to get the word out about his policies and politics. John joins to explain that he has a background in Music and tell the guys a littel about his past. Then John sits in for the Hot Seat where people get to know a little better about him and what two foods when put together are just amazing deliciousness in your mouth! Finally, John and crew discuss his policies and politics regarding womens rights and abortions plus much, much more. 

finally the Second week of the Biggest Jerks in TV/Movie history are being run down and this week has some heavyweights that could end up winning the entire tournament. Then again there are a few people that haven't been put into the game yet. Who will reign supreme and who is the biggest jerk of all time...we will all find out!

Fresh off making a new horror film for this season coming up, the actor of XXX-mas, joins Mark Bland and Jason Kull to talk about his life, the movie coming up and all the things that go into making Jonathan, well Jonathan! But that is not all...

Markwayne Mullen and Kevin McCarthy finally said the quiet part out loud this week when they went full on mental illness and started trying to physically assault other memebers of congress and even guests to Capitol Hill. First up Markwayne of Oklahoma decided to try and get in the face of a Teamster that was a guest on capitol hill. Evidently the two men had words on SOCIAL MEDIA and the republican just couldn't let Social Media go...so he tried starting a fight in the Senate chamber before being punked by Bernie Sanders and told to act like an adult.  In another section of the Capitol, Kevin McCarthy the whiny former Speaker of the house elbaowed and tried to physically attack another republican because he is mad everyone turned on them. Mark and the guys discuss all of this craziness happening!

Then, for his triumphant return, Mark put together a special Tournament of Pop culture that might become a larger fight. Mark chose 16 people to put up against each other for the title of Biggest/Best Jerk in a movie or TV show. An amazing topic that has a ton of opportunities and people that can be thrown into the mix coming up. Who do you think should be in future tournaments...did your favorite movie/TV jerk make this tournament right here? And we definitely have strong competition in this breakdown. But this is discussed live on the show and worth your time to check out. 

Finally, it's been a while but Fxck My Life has been on the internet for many years. We used to bring it up on the show all the time, but things change and time moves one. With that said, the return of FML comes to the Qnow and boy are their some doozy's to deal with on this Episode!

But that did not stop candidate Jenna Roberson from joining once again and bringing her female touch to the show! 

With all the players jockeying for position, a few states had 2023 elections! Ohio decided to add Abortion and Marijuana to the rights that their citizens have....very LIBERAL OF THEM. And Kentucky elected a democrat for governor, showing that even red states typically, are changing up their tune a little. Mark Bland and Jason Kull discuss this Jenna and discuss what 2024 truly holds for the libs and cons.

It seems while everyone was not watching, Britney Spears released a tell all book and one of the craziest things that came out of it was her story of dating a young Justin Timberlake and the decisions that they made together many years ago. Dealing with aboriton in this election year, it is only fitting that their story would reverberate with the nation. Plus Mark and Jason went to a Metallica show and Mark dealt with a parking lot nightmare after the show. It's all hands on deck as they breakdown their trip to the dome! 

Finally, The Ranker review is sometimes more difficult to guage based on the topics and this was a week to focus on the topics. With that being said, The Top NFL QB's of All Time is the list our friends here break down and It is truly something. Maybe there are names you aren't thinking of in that top 10...well this is why they break it all down. Plus Mark breaks out a letter or two from the listeners to try and help them fix their lives!

Jenna Roberson joins back with the show to help Mark Bland and Jason Kull discuss what is going on. 

First up Mark and the peeps discuss his amazing Cracker Barrel moment and how it showcases how the world is starting to fall apart. And why would a company take such a crazy stance that is obviously ludacris...but here we are getting ready for the trash that is gonna be 2024 and things are leading down a certain path. 

Next up, Trump is losing is weekly now about the judges, the lawsuits and this week his family is sitting down and discussing his less than special dealings. But the Party of the GOP is in shambles. Ken Buck is pulling out and telling the world they lost their way. The Qnow and Mark and Jason been stating this since Trump won in 2016 and everyone laughed at them for that.  Here we are, the speaker is crazy. The memebers are nuts...and even red state stalwarts like Ken Buck are denouncing and running away from the party. If Trump loses in 2024, can they even survive? 

Next up, St. Louis Native Cori Bush rode her wave to Capitol hill in 2020. Making a name during the Michael Brown situation, she felt like a fresh breath of air for the STL. But now walking into 2024, Cori recieves news that Wesley Bell, another prominent POC in the STL political scene is coming for her seat. Mark, Jenna and Jason discuss this new challenger and whether Cori can hold on to her seat. Plus what are the people in the area stating when asked about their opinion of Cori and her political moves. 

Finally, Mark has a list of one liners and funny things that are compiled for radio and TV people each week. Zingers to let you know they are the funny ones. Mark gets a list compiled for the show and then the three judge whether these are truly good lines or just taking pot shots for the sake of being mean. You decide as you listen along!

It was never gonna be a Civil War. The country is too interconnected and the states are on top of each other. Can't draw a east/west line or any other at this point. So everyone will have to be fair game in the new Trump led war on voters/citizens. Which means it will be the Real American PURGE. That's what they are gearing up for. 

Jenna Roberson returns to hang out with Mark Bland and Jason Kull. Hopefully this time Mark will not butcher the name of this candidate for HD-63 in Missouri! But this time around they have a few things to talk about politically and a ranker review game to show and teach Jenna about! 

First up everyone except Mark is now hip to the name of the new House Speaker, which is a gentleman named Mike Johnson. Problem is that Mike is known for being a nationalistic and trump supporting person. Putting those things together shows that the republicans are now all extremists and looking for ways to attack and hurt people. They can't accept their consequences for their attitudes and actions anymore and it is funny. This new man will be the ruin of the entire party. 

Also, Trump is definitely learning consequences for his actions but it seems he has given up on trying to pretend to campaign anymore and instead has resorted to his old "Don't Vote" message that failed him in the 2020 election. This time around everyone is hip to his dumb moves and Mark calls out that he is setting this up to use as an excuse AGAIN. Everything is an admission of guilt with this man. 

Finally it is Halloween and the guys decided to do a Ranker Review of the Most Terrifying horror figures of all time.  Sure there are the classics like Frankenstein and Dracula, but what about Jason and Freddy? Where does Michael hit the list, or does he at all? Who is weird that you are not thinking about? Tune in and listen as they breakdown and figure out who is the scariest of them all! Happy Halloween! 

]]> We had it wrong all along. It was never gonna be a Civil War. The country is too interconnected and the states are on top of each other. Can't draw a east/west line or any other at this point. So everyone will have to be fair game in the new Trump led war on voters/citizens. Which means it will be the Real American PURGE. That's what they are gearing up for. Jenna Roberson returns to hang out with Mark Bland and Jason Kull. Hopefully this time Mark will not butcher the name of this candidate for HD-63 in Missouri! But this time around they have a few things to talk about politically and a ranker review game to show and teach Jenna about! First up everyone except Mark is now hip to the name of the new House Speaker, which is a gentleman named Mike Johnson. Problem is that Mike is known for being a nationalistic and trump supporting person.

We are a real radio show on FOX News Radio and CBS Radio affiliates. We are the best St. Louis political minds, and the best liberal minded show in the entire midwest! 

On this episode of The Qnow we welcome Pyrus Wade to the show to talk about his past, his upbringing in music and for him to play us some of his quality stuff...and he did not disappoint.  

First up, the boys welcome Pyrus to the show and get right into the topics. They are trying for a new speaker of the house but it is failing for Jim Jordan, who thought for sure he was a shoe in...BUT...he found out how painfully unpopular he was. So how did he react? He had some friends send aggresive and taunting texts to fellow republicans that he needed the vote from. He attacked their wives and all of it. It was craziness.

Next up we have Old Donnie Trump and the gag order that he immediately ignored. This man is doing all the wrong things and it is going to land him in jail...as if the treason shouldn't have already. Then guys discuss this trend. Then it is on to Music stylings of Pyrus Wade, a local St. Louis musician. Wade grows up in North St. Louis county but eventually ended up in California! Back in the lou, the man is getting his name out there and we are blessed to have him on our show! 

Finally, we do a tournament of pop culture, the 2023 Sweet 16 of Horror movies. We have 16 new movies battling it out this year for our horror love and the gents really put the time in to make sure the right movie is picked. Was your favorite on this list? How did it fare?

But is this Bidens fault? Far from it. Mark and the guys discuss and give you a great perspective to view this from. 

Next up Andy brings up that he is not a fan of the $15 minimum wage and this sets Mark and Andy into an amazing discussion about current economics and who to blame for the high prices. Plus Mark figures out that Andy is viewing everything through rose colored glasses.Is food service jobs just for HS students or is it a normal job like Mark says...tune in and listen to this Epic battle.

Finally the TOPC is here. Best TV Character of All time. We are down to the final four! Cartman, Bundy, Powers and Kramer are gonna duke it out to see who really is the best TV character of all time.

But before that, We got an election that might set it off. If Trump wins we riot, if Trump loses they riot!  Sounds like war is going to happen anyway.

Who makes the list? George Costanza might feel like a lock to make it. But so would Seinfeld himself! Plus you got Golden Girls and Roseanne and so many others...it's going to be a killer tournament. But we start off with the first bracket of 16 and try to figure out who the big winner is. Join us and see if your favorite makes it. 

Finally the boys discuss this AI created Coca cola flavor and Artificial Intelligence is going to shape the future of foods, and Lauren Boebert had a huge outburst at a Beetlejuice performance in Denver and was escorted out the theater. What is wrong with these congresspeople in America in 2023...it's gonna lead to the Wars of 2024! Tune in and join us on this amazing journey this week!

The Qnow - 567 - The Syndicated Pariahs The Qnow - 567 - The Syndicated Pariahs Sat, 09 Sep 2023 19:00:00 +0000 Well, well, well...It seems Mark and jason have been working hard and the show is showing the fruits of it's labor. People in other places wanna hear the show on their networks and we are happy to oblige.

Jason Kull and Mark Bland start off discussing about Covid and how people are worried about new lockdowns that just not coming. A Maryland school had a small outbreak of third graders and as usual the idiots took to social media to turn it into the next OUTBREAK scenario and it never comes to fruition. This is all after the men announce they are now SYNDICATED for the second time in history on multiple stations. Sure it's not national synidcation, but the show is moving in the right direction adding 102.5 WIBH to their already powerful 1280/105.3 KYRO! 

Next up the gents discuss the Gerogia Election Fraud Case. The first set of hearings has already begun and it seems the republicans are trying to get out in front of what they are denying is a conspiracy. There is only one problem Mark noticed...they referenced the "conspiracy" underoath in the first discussion, so it was actually a conspiracy. Trump has argued for years that it was never some conspiracy and everyone just over reacted and was lying and/or LIBERAL. Weird stance to take. This also comes with some idiocy from the lawyers of Sidney Powell and Mr. Chesebro. 

Fianlly it's time for another tournament of pop culture so people can get a taste at the new station of the types of fun we bring to the table. This tournament focuses on the upcoming halloween and fall season as we break down the best Horror Movie Sequels Battle Royale. This is not a list we created, but one that we are breaking down and discussing. Which horror movie franchise made the best sequel to date? Was it Halloween and Michael? How bout Freddy and Nightmare on Elm Street. Well join us and help us break these movies down and figure out who the big winner is!

Trump has been indicted for a 4th time! This time in Georgia for Election interferrence in the 2020 election. It seems he did a lot of bad things and it's all falling down around him, Mark is confused at why he is still allowed to run for office in the face of these allegations.  The gents discuss his latest issues with the courts.

Next up, Mark has noticed a ton of energy drinks allowed for sale at local gas stations and grocery stores. There are so many they almost need their own aisle at this point. Mark and Jason discuss the fact that these drinks are being peddled to their kids and other adults that are sucking them up without realizing the potential conflicts and issues that might come from a heavy diet of those drinks. 

Finally, the state of missouri is starting to arrest parents who have their kids out of school too much. But then the guys go on to find out that nationally, 25% of kids who are of school age don't attend enough...and of that 25%,  91% of them don't go at all. This adds up to millions of kids in the Trump era, with all the lies and stupidity aren't even trying to educated themsleves and become better knowledged on ther things they they think or share. This is going to become problematic.

Sam went by DJ Cub for many years in the St. Louis Scene and is now here to talk with Mark and Jason about life and politics in 2023. 

First up, you couldn't escape it. There was a Riverboat Melee that happened in Montgomery, AL between white people and black people. The entire nation is talking about the racial tensions after the events that unfolded. A security guard asked a family of white boaters to move their boat and from there, everything went crazy! People jumping into the fight, people swimming over to help off other boats. It was a wild scene and even CROCS weren't exempt from the issue. But people are misreading this situation. Mark and the gentlemen talk about this issue. 

Next up is the Tournament of Pop culture: Best Breakfast Cereal! Yeah you know all the players, and there might even be some you are not thinking about. But who better to break this down than people that love food! But the real question is how deep does this go? do perrenial favorites like Lucky charms and Cheerio's walk away with the win...or do some overlooked cereals really bring in the taste buds? Take a listen to find out who reigns supreme in this new tournament. 

Finally, Trump has now stated that he doesn't even want to live in America, where he is running for president. So at that point, is Trump running just to be an A-hole and push dumb conspiracies and create as much turmoil as he can? It sure seems like there is no value if you don't even want to live in the country where you are expected to live to be president.

First up, it seems that the complaining about the age of these electors falls on deaf ears. Mitch McConnell who has been the focus of these age ideals found himself in a predicament this past week when he froze up at the podium and people were unsure what to think. Mitch ended up being fine but it was really odd and re-ignited this idea that there migh tneed to be term limits and age limits on some of our older nominees wach election cycle. 

Next, there are some amazing movies that you could pair together, but the best things happen naturally. Well Mark and Jason Kull are here to break down which weekend in movie history had the best two movie tandem release. Maybe it was a weekend in the 1990's during the summer...or maybe a thanksgiving release weekend in the 2000's... we have a Ranker list of the best and we are gonna figure out who reigns supreme for a double movie release in history...

That Ranker review comes on the heal of the release of Barbie and Oppenheimer. Which is the focal point of our last thing. Is the Barbie movie a bad thing to see cause it's about Barbie? Why are so many conservatives worried about going to a movie they can just ignore and not pay to go see? Well in their world you have to have things to complain about, and if everyone is fine with Barbie, then it's not manly or cool enough for republicans. So of course it becomes point of contention, but like many of their things...does it have legs? Nope!

First up, Mark and Jason welcome Drew back to the show and the gentlmen discuss how things been in the world of music on Drews podcast Notes & Letters. Drew then asks the guys what is the best cover song that they ever heard? And what was the worst cover song they have ever heard, conversely.  Next up Mark realizes that him and Jason are underutilized in the word of politics and that Fox News could use guest appearances from Mark and Jason and it would boost their ratings on a national look. 

Next up the guys discuss some politics and what is going on in the world! Joe Biden and the Biden campaign decided to strike a littel early for campaigning and put out their first video of the 2024 election. It featured MTG just speaking about Joe and Kamala and the things they are doing, then it says they approved the message. Castrating any value in MTG, they used her word sagainst her and it was Amazing! And then Jason Aldean finds himself in a bit of controversy from his song "Try that in a small town" in reference to anything where the rest of the world is having the issues. So in his small towns, everyone knows each other so nobody does anything. In big cities things aren't quaint and easy. Though Jason thinks its because small towns talk tough. The guy figure out, Jason is not from a too small of a town and things are the same everywhere all the time...some people are just more prejudice. 

Finally, another Ranker review comes to pass. This time around there are HUGE movie franchizes that exist and they bring tons of joy to the world. But is your franchise you are bought in on, the same quality as your friends favorite. Well Ranker had them listed 1-10 and we decided to find out which ones matter and which ones just don't.

What about Star Trek? Well then this episode is designed for you sorta! 

This week on the show, Mark and Jason, welcome Niko Howard from the Andorian Memeing Consortium on Facebook. A group of 23,000 like minded Trekker's that enjoy a great Meme! And great meme's are what they design and sell to the world. We sit down with Niko and find out where this all comes from, and we discuss some Star Trek lore along the way...but it's not all we discuss.

We break into the mind of Niko to find out where he sits on the political spectrum and then we get down and dirty discussing the latest arrest and arraignment of former president Donald Trump. Is he guilty? Why is there always this call to arms for Donald Trump? Maybe Donald is just blind to the reality of his criminal ways. The guys discuss and figure out why these supporters just keep on rocking with him. 

Finally, Niko is a new guest so he has to jump into the Hotseat and answer his 5 questions...but not before we do an impromptu Ranker Review Game of horror since we found out our guest is a Horror buff like Mark and Matt Krueger (also in for the show).  So as a play to our guest, we decided to break down the best Stephen King Novels/Works of all time. Who sits #1? Is Niko...and Jay....and Matt... and Mark all cool with the Ranker order for this topic. Listen in and find out!

Well it is TIME!!! WE have reached the finale of the BEST TEEN MOVIE of all TIME and bring this Tournament to a close. We had a blast working with everyone on this one and excited to welcome Matt Krueger back to help us choose the winner of the entire bracket! Jason Kull as usual plays the final determining factor but you will see why when you listen to the show. 

Also...Missouri goes full retard (and you never go full retard) like Florida and decides that the 14 people in the entire state that might be affected currently by Trans Care, well they can't have it anymore. And this reminds Mark of the Duggars and the IBLP and how christian fundamentalism works. It's all about controlling minute things to look like you are in power over others. But you really aren't, you are just an A-hole for being trashy people. This also rears it's ugly head in a emplyment discussion Mark and the guys have regarding some information that has come to light.

Finally, Mike Pence has decided he is going to throw his hat in the ring for President of the US and on his way to the pulpit, Pence threw Trump under a bus extra hard....and he deserved it. Then we play the Ranker Review game of Best Snacks between meals. And Chips and Salsa seems to be hang up for these weird dudes. They chose chips and salsa over some crazy delicious snacks...find out who wins out in the end!

First up, Donald Trump has been convicted of being a sexual abuser and raping a woman. Is he going to jail, NO...he just has to pay a bunch of money to E. Jean Carroll who he claims he never met. But this brings up a bigger issue for our host Mark. All the stories seem to emulate from the republican/GOP/Conservative playbooks and never/rarely from the democratic people and stance. What is it about Republicans and these people that warrant their need to rape or even be sexual abusers of people.  Plus if they aren't holding trump accountable for this outside of paying money, then they are unwilling to hold this man to the stones. 

Next up George Santos and more shootings in the republican stronghold that is NRA loving Texas. Greg Abbott is doing nothing to protect his state. People are dying weekly and this time a child was killed to. And Santos is now arrested and charged with 13 counts!!! Fraud and all kinds of fun for George...but once again, these are the biggest stories in the country and they all deal with republicans being horrible. 

Finally we reached the next round of the TOPC! We are working on Best Teen Movies and this is the Drama Division of the tournament. Movies where emotional (in most cases) damage or physical damage happens to the chracters, but still teen based. And this one goes off the rails a little when there are hearing issues for two of the three men. Find out who moves on in this battle of juggernauts and academy award nominated films!

What is it about Republicans and these people that warrant their need to rape or even be sexual abusers of people.  Plus if they aren't holding trump accountable for this outside of paying money, then they are unwilling to hold this man to the stones.  Next up George Santos and more shootings in the republican stronghold that is NRA loving Texas. Greg Abbott is doing nothing to protect his state. People are dying weekly and this time a child was killed to. And Santos is now arrested and charged with 13 counts!!! Fraud and all kinds of fun for George...but once again, these are the biggest stories in the country and they all deal with republicans being horrible.  Finally we reached the next round of the TOPC! We are working on Best Teen Movies and this is the Drama Division of the tournament. Movies where emotional (in most cases) damage or physical damage happens to the chracters, but still teen based. And this one goes off the rails a little when there are hearing issues for two of the three men. Find out who moves on in this battle of juggernauts and academy award nominated films!  the Qnow - 552 - The Dollar Show the Qnow - 552 - The Dollar Show Sat, 06 May 2023 19:00:00 +0000 On this episode of the Qnow. Anthony Nolen of St. Andrews Cinema joins Mark and Jason Kull to discuss the theater, the nostalgia and to help with a TOPC. 

First up Anthony nolen sits down to give some background on the St. Andrews Cinema located in St. Charles, a western suburb of St. Louis, MO.  The theater is well known for being "The Dollar Show" along with a couple other classic cinema's no longer in the area. Anthony and his partners are revitalizing the old building and bringing new nostalgia for the 2020's! 

This leads into the Tournament of Pop Culture: Best Teen Movie (bracket #1). Mark and Jason are once again doing a huge multi-week bracket for teen movies and this episode is ground zero for the first section: Best High School Drama. These are all movies where High school is a setting and there is shenanigans going on all over the place. Did your movie make the cut? Is it in another section of the bracket...well don't fret we have three more weeks of movies before we get to the finale. 

Finally Mark and Jason bid farwell to their new friend of the show and dig into some happenings around the country and some poltiics. First a man is choked out and killed on a NY subway and the gents break down whether the man should get manslaughter or murder for killing the homeless man. Also it seems that Desantis and Elon just keep doing horrible things to keep their name going, but the minute they stop,everyone will ignore them. All this and much more on this episode of The Qnow!

The Q - 551 - Fire Masters The Q - 551 - Fire Masters Sat, 29 Apr 2023 19:00:00 +0000 John Scheper makes his return to the podcast, just to play hero and have to leave in the middle of it! 

First up, Scheper joins Mark and Jason Kull to discuss the newest things in the world of FOX NEWS which is a huge lawsuit and Tucker Carlson getting fired for being an a-hole. Fox News gets fines for being liars and finally, Don Lemon also gets let go from CNN for being an A-hole too. What is it with all these A-holes in broadcasting! 

Next up, Mark and Jason discuss Elon Musk losing his mind and de-verifying all the accounts on his platform so he can try and grift idiots to give him (a BILLIONAIRE) more money to pretend he is some sort of fake god in the online world. Instead we talk about his extremely creepy meeting of his wife Grimes with a 17 year age diffence, meaning in when she was 17....Elon was a lustful 34 and well outside the "dating" age appropriate in the 2000's. But we let those weird things go and discuss rockets that blow up! Plus Ted Cruz gets caught talking insurrection on a phone days before Jan 6th. Nothing will happen because everyone wants CIVIL WAR and death to happen so they keep allowing the fascism.

And finally, we do a Ranker Review game of The Best TV Characters of the 1980's. Like the Disney one, we learn what time period we live in and what makes it way to 2023 versus what was legit the top TV characters of the 1980s. But the final push proves we had the right ones at the top of the list in Hindsight...but the ommissions list was deafening. Great people that didn't even get a shot. 

All this and more on this epsiode of The Qnow!

On this episode we are joined by Jason Kull as well as our friend of the show, Emil Jay!

First up, Elon has been working overtime to make things worse and worse for Twitter. It seems like he is doing it to devalue and eventually bankrupt the company in some form or fashion and turn it into a write off. But before he gets there he wants to change the company marquee in San Fran to read as "Titter" and he changed his name to "Harry Bolz". All this comes on the heels of another Trump interview with Tucker Carlson where he blames the USA for the Nord Stream, as if we are the problem in the world...yet he wants to run the country again? Seems like conflicting interests at this point. 

Next up, Game Changer Wrestling is coming to St. Louis and we are blessed to have the voice of GCW on the show with us Emil Jay! Emil jumps on to discuss a little about the recent popularity of GCW since and during Covid. Plus Emil gives us a little background into his rise within the business and what drew him to it! And if that wasn't enough, they got some heavy hitters and classic memebers of the roster they are bringing to St. Louis to tear down the house at POPS! 

Finally, We do another Ranker Review Game! This time we are focused on the Best Martial Arts Actors/Actresses of ALL TIME! So of course you know Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and Jet Li are going to be there...or are they? There are a ton of great martial artists in the world and there are even some people you might not be thinking about like Wesley Snipes (think Blade). We break down the list as it stands and figure out if this list truly holds water!

So many people knew it would and so did the Qnow. Donald Trump was arrested and arraigned this past week for his corruption. Is it the large sword that democrats and anti-trump people alike expected to take him down, no, it's just the Southern district of NY. But it's a start. Now a former president of the USA is a arrested criminal and has to deal with the legal system he so went out of his way with for the SCOTUS to try and change the world for everyone. Oh well, too bad...we will discuss! 

Bud light has done more to help cut down alcoholism with their newest campaign than AA has done in decades of work! Dylan Mulvaney, a trans activist and influencer, was the focus of a new campaign on inclusiveness for Anheuser Busch. They put Dylan on the front of a Bud Light can...and that sent MAGA/Trump Criminals/Conservatives into a tizzy because they refuse to drink Bud Light now! They hate that there is inclusiveness with Bud Light, some random company, and that also made famed rapper Kid Rock take to social media to shoot some cases up. Well that brought more attention to it and it's just not working out for the red staters. We discuss.

Finally we do another Ranker Review Game...this time it is Best Disney Animated movie. Now the rules state we must take the list as it stands and break it down. It is whatever the current standings are for that category. We noticed some huge admissions were not on the list. They were ranked lower...but in 2023, the way people view movies and their own nostalgia is taking a part in this. Join us to find out the best disney animated movie and if it should be #1!

Oh well, too bad...we will discuss!  Bud light has done more to help cut down alcoholism with their newest campaign than AA has done in decades of work! Dylan Mulvaney, a trans activist and influencer, was the focus of a new campaign on inclusiveness for Anheuser Busch. They put Dylan on the front of a Bud Light can...and that sent MAGA/Trump Criminals/Conservatives into a tizzy because they refuse to drink Bud Light now! They hate that there is inclusiveness with Bud Light, some random company, and that also made famed rapper Kid Rock take to social media to shoot some cases up. Well that brought more attention to it and it's just not working out for the red staters. We discuss. Finally we do another Ranker Review Game...this time it is Best Disney Animated movie. Now the rules state we must take the list as it stands and break it down. It is whatever the current standings are for that category. We noticed some huge admissions were not on the list. They were ranked lower...but in 2023, the way people view movies and their own nostalgia is taking a part in this. Join us to find out the best disney animated movie and if it should be #1! The Q - 547 - Enough is Enough The Q - 547 - Enough is Enough Sat, 01 Apr 2023 19:00:00 +0000 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH....another shooting in Nashville and this times more elementary school children are dead. Republicans and Liberals alike are looking for answers and wanting to blame people they can get to, and not people that are guilty of anything. 

Matt Krueger and Jason Kull join Mark Bland as they discuss and break down this idea of school shootings and what can be done at this point to stop things. It seems to everyone like they have tried the "no new laws, don't make gun people unhappy about the constitution" thing and here we are again with more dead babies and families torn apart by the inconsiderate attitudes of those unwilling to look at other countries that have made the step, well before today. The guys talk about everything with regard to the Nashville shooting. But how far is too far?

This week the gents try a new game called the Ranker Review Game. They go to ranker page and based off the current standings, figure out if people/place/things and pop culture are on the edge of being 100% correct or if their margins and rankings are not on the same page. This first episode of the Ranker game focuses on the The Coolest Movie Star in Acting currently in 2023! Who stands out overall as the coolest actor/actress in the business of making movies!  Where does the Rock rank? Is Brad Pitt on the list or not? All this and more will be discussed on this first show playing the game!

Finally Elon Musk is slowly bringing all of  his businesses down and many have lost value over the last year. Twitter started at $44 Billion and now Musk himself valuates it at $20 Billion and people feel that is too high. He has a ton on his plate, and companies that have typically done well in his portfolio (Tesla) are also feeling the pain. SO what gvies...well the guys discuss. And also there is some bullying issues at the middle and high school levels in America and the guys try to figure out what is the determining factor for how these things are handled.

After not being given a fair shot to be on another radio station in the STL, the people of Francis Howell Forward needed to find someone to help get their message out to the masses regarding the upcoming election... Into that position steps our Mark and his QNow show to fill that void. Playing from what is the Fairness Doctrine in Radio, Mark and the team are not afraid to showcase any positions or stances and even welcome the opposition on to the show to push their beliefs too. So Jamie jumps on to disuss the current issues including a budgeting issue for the school district which was started way before COVID and all this inflation that is hampering the nation. Plus CRT and a few other topics are on the agenda, so sit back and find out how Francis Howell can stay stuck in the past or they can go FORWARD! 

Donald Trump lied about being arrested. He lied about being arrested!! Think about that. Trump has lied about everything the entire time he was been in the public eye. Well before Presidency, Trump has been lying. But this new lie seems to showcase how far he has fallen off. After announcing the lie, Trump asked for protests in the streets and only a few thousand people across the entire country actually showed up to protest the arrest that did not even happen...which makes the protestors look eventhat much more gullible than before. The guys discuss.

And finally, Marcus needs to have his morals calculated.  Mark decides that he will bring some moral dilemma's to the show and put Marcus on the spot to see how he will handle these less than stellar opportunities in life. Will Marucs survive the discussion or will he throw everyone in the discussion for a loop and continue on this path...tune in and find out!

Mark and the crew were given a bracket to break down and they chose a topic. They were unaware of some of the options in the bracket, but that is okay because the biggest players came out to showcase! 

Also on this episode, The gents discuss that there is 20 more hours of Tyre Nichols video footage that a judge is unwilling to release. Based off the original release and videos, this stuff couldn't be any better and might even have some audio illuminating the reasoning to why Tyre was beaten like this in Memphis. The gentlemen discuss.

And Finally, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are having one hell of a 2023 so far. Trump is doubling down on the FOX NEWS/Tucker Carlson January 6th video footage and claiming it is proof of a setup. Yet he was the president at the time and could have compiled all the footage from the sources and watched it back when this all went down. Hell, even up until now he could have had vested interest, but he didn't and is fannig the flames of discourse like the troll he is. Speaking of Trolls, Elon decided to ignore HIPAA and out the medical background of an employee he may or may not have fired. Either way, trying to play pretend tough guy on the internet backfired and now he might be setup for some massive lawsuits. All this and more on the new QNow!

Did the album you thougth would win, actually win...We find out on this episode of the show.  The Q - 542 - Water and Hats The Q - 542 - Water and Hats Sat, 25 Feb 2023 20:00:00 +0000 Once upon a time, Donald Trump went to Puerto Rico to throw Paper Towels at the people because of a natural disaster. Cut to 2023 and he made another Trip as former President to East Palestine, Ohio to give them water and throw hats to them at Mcdonalds. This was to show he was the leader the country needed while Joe Biden was handling things as President around the world. Needless to say this was another photo op for the orange man and it did nothing to bolster his anti-liberal argument. Joe Biden has already offered the Fed's help in the situation on day 2 of it existing, but the Ohio Governor Dewine declined the help. So here we stand.

Mark Bland, your host, along with Jason Kull and Matt Krueger break down and discuss the East Palestine train derailment along with turning their focus to Russia where it seems Putin is losing ground a year deep into the war with Ukraine. He has decided to pull out of the last Treaty regarding nuclear arms, which means he is going to try and use them at some point. Hence the potential for World War 3 to begin with China potentially backing Russia. And while this goes on, in the USA Marjorie Taylor Greene, a georgia Congresswoman has decided to ask the RED STATES of the US to secede creating the potential for another Civil War. Seems that republicans are War hungry! 

Finally Mark puts Matt Krueger and Jason Kull to a test of wits! Jason found a 90's trivia game at the station and decided to see who would be the ultimate 1990's trivia champ. Matt was younger and had more influence in his childhood during that time, but Jason was older and in college, so his influences might give him a leg up.  We all find out who the real trivia champ of the 90's is on this episode of The QNow!

As expected, and as Mark alluded to on social media all week, the republicans just couldn't help themselves. They made a fool of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and that was after he pleaded for them to act with decorum. It really is becoming parliament, so we on the show don't know why they just don't change their parties to the Tory's and Whigs and change congress to Parliament now. But Joe Biden was able to get through and even create a moment of unity...the gentlemen discuss.

Also the 2023 Grammy's happened and Mark was not thrilled with the layout of the show. Not the show itself but the layout for sure. Mark and Jason welcome Canadian Music Critic Mitch Lafon to the show. Mitch jumps in with over 30 years of music background to discuss the Sam Smith situation, Beyonce breaking records, the 50th Anniv. Hip hop performance and everything! Plus being a critic usually runs down more than one path and TV/Film is also on the table as Mitch tells us the show he wants everyone to pick up and watch! 

Finally it is the final round of the Tournament of Pop culture: One hit Wonders! We have the last 16 songs vying for a spot in the championship. With strong showings over the past few weeks from disco and 80's mainstays, this week adds some 2000's one hit wonders as well as brings us one of Jason hopefuls! So has your song finally made it, did it get ignored...what would you have changed or put somewhere else? All this and much more gets discussed and broken down on this episode of the show!

First up is the story of Tyre Nichols and the horrendous beating death he incurred at the hands of multiple police officers in memphis Tennessee. The guys never had a chance to discuss this one but the video was too incriminating to pass up. The officers have been let go and they are in the middle of an investigation and probable lawsuit which is forthcoming. But the audacity to lie on a police report and have a higher up sign off on it is indicative of a worse issue that could happen to any citizen. The gentlemen discuss this incident. 

It's then time for the 3rd round of the one hit wonders Tournament of pop culture. The guys break down another set of songs until we are down to the final 4 (which is happening in a couple episodes!...pending anything stoping us). Did your favorite song make the list? Did the guys vote properly for who you think should move on and who gets booted? Find out! 

And finally the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released their list of potential nominees and there a lot of heavy hitters on this list.  Cyndi Lauper to the White Stripes, the list has some pretty certain winners in the bunch. Mark, Jay and Matt break down the list and discuss who is deserving and who is not.

As one half of the Junkies for Fame in MMWA, Stevens and his partner JSO are the current MMWA Heavyweight Tag Champs! Where JSO has been on the show multiple times, Stevens has yet to grace Mark and Jason Kull with his presence. He wanted to make sure the show lived up to his quality of standards before becoming involved.  But here we are and the Junkies for Fame are the guests on this episode of The Qnow.

Also, Mark and Jason decide to talk about REC centers and their value in society in 2023. If you have been to one recently you know they are built to the gills with gyms, ice rinks, pools, parks surrounding and a ton of other things. All this comes with a price for upkeep and more...so Mark and Jason discuss their pricing and need in the 2020's.

Also it seems Kevin McCarthy is really butt hurt about people have positions on committees in the new congress after they impeached Trump YEARS AGO. But that petty republican STL styled hate is just fuming in the barely speaker of the house. So he is taking people like Adam Schiff and Ihan Omar off their duties because he is mad. Little do they pay attention to the optics. 

Finally the Junkies for Fame and Dr. Dallas specific are new to the QNow. So Dallas must enter and answer on the Hotseat! Always a fun few questions to help us get to know the former firefighter and current tag team champion!

Justin Deming has been handling life in the Northeast for a few years now and with some family things to handle, he makes a trip back to the midwest and his home town when he gets a chance. Out the Blue Justin decided to show up for the Q and we couldn't be happier to welcome him back for the show. 

First up it seems the crazy over the top aspect of republicans is starting to become more noticeable. In Missouri they made sure that the female also wore suit jackets like the MEN, because they need their women to represent being more manly in the state government.

Well we really don't know but the men discuss these and a few other states attacking really marginal and weird things. 

Next up is the 2nd round of the TOPC: Best One Hit Wonder. In the last round many great candidates put their name in the ring but only one can out on top. This time around Just A Friend, Cotton Eye Joe and few others throw their name in the ring to find out what is the best one hit wonder according to the QNow and if you don't like what you see, you can play along at home. 

And finally Mark once again had issues at MMWA but they decided to offer Mark a opportunity he could not pass up. Commissionership of the MMWA. Anthony Castaldi the head of the organization challeneged Mark to take on Shaft for control of the right hand of power. With it Mark and the Kings of Revolution can position themselves better for control and moves within the organization. So everything seems to be on the line for their upcoming Feb 11th match. But Mark and the boys discuss all of it!

A few weeks have passed and special guest comes out the woodwork to find out how we have been on the show, and a welcome surprise it is. Matt Krueger comes out of slumber and decides that he would like to catch up with us for the first time since the big 500th episode. So we glady welcome him back into the fold and onto the show as our guest. Jason Kull returns to hang out and discuss some Santos and a tournament of pop culture we are working on for the future. 

First up, Mark needs to discuss some issues he is having at MMWA wrestling regarding his position as the Asst. Commissioner and some stuff a group named the Brotherhood has been doing since he started. Mark feels wronged because he saw his bosses unhappy about the results of title matches and it was always the brotherhood ganging up on people. Now Mark is in athe middle of a funk because hie attempt to even the score and make owner Anthony Castaldi happy backfired a bit...and because of the Commissioner over the top of Mark...Shaft. The guys discuss.

It took 40000 (15....lol) votes for Kevin McCarthy to become the speaker of the house. But after caving to the complainers that are the Trump holdouts and people against Trumps influence in the Republican party, McCarthy can finally try and start to do a bunch of worthless investigations into "liberal/democratic" things. Most importantlythe FBI and who they are looking at and what they know about the republicans with regards to Jan 6th and the illegal things they asked for pardons on. It's not looking good for republicans. 

And in the end, Mark and Jason decide to do a Tournament of Pop Culture focused on one hit wonders, but there are so many they can do a 5 part episode breaking them all down to find the best #1 One Hit Wonder of all time. So Round one starts on this show today! All this and much more on this episode of The Q!

But it's not that national kinda flack that typically is associated with a social media post...it's more localized and people calling offline to challenge what the post said. 

On this Episode of The Q, Alex Elias joins Mark and Jason Kull to discuss Mark's recent post where he claimed in his prime athleticness, Mark said he was as good as any other professional athlete  and just as athletic. Now Mark didn't say he was a professional football player and could beat Micah Parsons in football today....BUT... back in his prime, with all things working properly, he was as athletically gifted as a Micah Parsons or other professional athletes. Alex vehemently disagrees with this and argues that Mark could never have been the same caliber as a All Pro Football player....But then Mark starts breaking down his size, his sport, what they wear versus a heavily padded football player....Does Mark change the mind of Alex, listen and find out! 

Then Mark and the guys discuss the Brittney Griner prisoner swap where Donald Trump came out and said he could have done the prisoner swap for Paul whelan back in his presidency, but he decided not to do it. Just like the wall he didn't build and the Covid he didn't stop. The gentleman discuss the upcoming announcement of his Trump NFT cards, Viktor Bout (the other half of the prisoner swap) and explain how the negotiations between the biden Whitehouse and Putin went regarding the Prisoner Swap. 

Finally Mark and Jay wants to really get to know Alex a lot better and starts to ask some difficult questions of Alex. This comes on the heels of a personal friend that is dying that Mark had a chance to talk with and it made him emotional and want to find out more about his personal friends. Alex, Jay and Mark discuss the questions as they pertain to their lives in 2022. 

All this and much more on the new Q!

The guys are down to four competitors for the best movie. Lethal Weapon (80s), Terminator 2 (90s), Inglorious Basterds (2000s), Winter Soldier (2010's). Who will reign supreme in this final discussion, we are going to find out but first!

A local STL broadcaster got caught with a third DWI. This bothers Mark because of the number of DWI's that this gentleman got. They discuss this and the attacks that Mark endured for stating what everyone else was already saying. 

It was a great week for moderates and democrats in the USA. Georgia had their runoff election between Warnock and Herschel Walker. Walker entered the situation talking about werewolves and Vampires and election fraud and all of it...BUT IN THE END...the most mind numbing thing happened after the republicans lost the election. They blamed it on something they did and pretended to be confused by their own actions....The gents discuss all of this.

Finally Marcus explains that he is not a fan of Christmas, but he also shares it with a birthday. So based of this, Mark and Jason press down to find out some info regarding the uniqueness of having a birthday right next to christmas. Plus Marcus explains that his Mom had a unique way of delving out presents for both the birthday and christmas, which just peaks more interest and brings up more questions.

On today's show is the final 2010's bracket and it is a doozy! And Marcus Boston, joins Mark and Jason Kull to break down all of it and get a final winner! 

First up Marcus is back and RACE is all over the news and Kanye is going crazy helping right wing nazi sympathizers get more well known and all of it. Maybe Marcus can make some sense out of all of this. But to get there, we discuss colonization, the former queen of england and how things are lookes from perspective and time. The USA is a very shallow existence with 300+ years under it's belt. But other parts of the world are thousands of years older and have writen history from 3000-4000 years ago. Places in the middle east and around the birthplace of civilization. Marcus, Mark and Jason break this down and discuss Race in the US versus the view of Racism in the world. 

Then Marcus lets out once again that he is choosing not to go to his 20 yr High School Reunion. This gets Mark and Jason discussing the time Mark went to his 20 yr reunion and it was in Ferguson the night of the Mike Brown situation. Mark relays the thoughts and feelings of that and how he was pointed out as one of "those people right there" and how he needed to "they all need to die". It was a wild reunion story that has been brought up before, but this leads to Marks major discussion on Elon Musk and the craziness that has hampered this world we live in since Covid in 2020. Elon seems to have gone off the rails and the men discuss! 

Finally, It's time for the TOPC: Best Action movies since 1980 and in this final round, we are focused on the Movies of the 2010's. And Action movies to boot. Which Mission Impossible made the list? Does Django Unchained have an unfair advantage? What movies were on the list that you wanted but they didn't make it. Well to find out you have to tune in and let the gents break down the movies and the bracket for you!

First things first...JSO is back and ready to talk with Mark and his Number 1 enemy, Jason Kull. JSO starts off on the right foot explaining his most recent championship grab at MMWA wrestling in St. Louis. Him and tag partner are now the Heavyweight Tag Champions and the EGO has blown up to all time highs. 

This leads to a discussion about everyone's favorite topic, Donald Trump and this time his former ATTY. General Bill Barr who is now an anti Trump conservative. But the guys are confused at how you can sit there today with this disdain for Trumps moves, while you ignored and turned the other cheek to everything when you could have easily put an end to Jan 6th and all of it. 

Next up, JSO decided to bring his wife to the studio and the rule in Radio is simple, do not come in the studio if you are unwilling to jump on the mic. Cause that is a norm in the business. Well Lindsey O'Connor joins Mark and Jason to discuss what the courting for JSO was and the type of game he spit to get her interested in him. This leads to other questions later on in the Hot Seat that JSO has to defend! 

Finally we are in the 2000's region of the best action movies since 1980 (barstool bracket). We bring in JSO to discuss this decade and help us whittle it down to Kill Bill or Gladiator or 14 other options that compile to give you a great list of movies in the action category between 2000-2009. So join us as we break it all down on this episode of The Q!

Now Mark did not produce this one, so it's not his choices for the competition. But is the movie you thought would be there, even on the list of movies.

A great discussion on the music business and some edgy comments that will catch people off guard.  finally, Mark and the guys decide to take on some unpopular opinions and conspiracy. Mark asked the gentlement to bring in their favorite conspiracy theory to discuss and this get's into some interesting things. Was JFK just randomly shot by Lee Harvey? Do lizard people exist and run our government....tune in and find out ho weird it can be in the USA! The Q -521 - You Can't Say that Anymore The Q -521 - You Can't Say that Anymore Sat, 24 Sep 2022 19:00:36 +0000 Dirty of the XFL/ST....wait a second...nope! You can't say that anymore. Jason Spurgeon of the The XFans show which discusses the XFL and their league is joining us on this episode to discuss a few things that we have on the Table.

First up Dirty drops the bomb that they are no longer the XFLSTL talk show anymore. They are now the Xfans show and the XFL called him directly to ask him to change the name of his program. And he and his co-host did do that. So from here on out, they are the Xfans!

Next up Trump has been sued again. This time Letitia James of the SDNY has sued trump and his children for the fraud they committed with his charities and vouching from pricing on his properties that were lets say less than valuable as stated. So once again Trump in hot water for literally everything he ever does, which is always pretty shztty. 

Then the guys discuss a local issue that happened with their sister radio station and a local news anchor. This then leads to disussions on Valdamir Putin and his decision to call up draftee's for his Ukranian war. Only problem is that if you are forcing your citizens to fight and fill in the gaps, you aren't as big and tough as you have pretended. It's all coming undone and the guys are here to let you know! 

Finally what starts as some opinions that are not as popular as people think, Mark and the boys start discussing the Homerun chase going on in the MLB. At one time we had Bonds breaking records, but those days are tarnished...but should they be. Mark brings up the need for history to show that McGwire and them weren't using banned substances in the late 90's when they hit for those records. So Judge in NY might get there/did get there but he still has others to catch. 

All this and much more on this episode of the Q!

The Q - 520 - Can We Move Forward The Q - 520 - Can We Move Forward Sat, 17 Sep 2022 19:00:32 +0000 Drew Pinson and Jason Kull join Mark Bland on this episode where the gentlemen decide to remember the Queen of England who just died in the past week. After decades of reign, the most recognizable person in a Monarchy has passed to the other side. It's such a big deal that they released a press release that states Trump is not invited to the funeral at all. Crazy to think....

Also, Mark is becoming really beaten down about how every time something happens in the music or movie business, it immediately is brought down a notch or two by people being too woke. The latest craziness is people using AI to make the trailer for Disney's new Little Mermaid with a white girl instead of a black lead. Mark thinks this is way way over the top, but also questions why there is a need to constantly play with things on purpose to create division. 

Mark and the guys talk about homophobia, racism and many other issues that pop up quite often even though in practice there really isn't much that "happens" regarding those topics. And Mark believes those topics are only a focus for a launching point. Everyone doesn't need to complain and whine about everything all the time. Not every Joke is an attack on a whole culture. Some things are just funny in thought and the moment. The world is insensitive and now people are being too sensitive to everything all the time. Now Trump threatening people and the libs are all for it...but it's sensitivity again! 

The gentle touch on this topic multiple times in the show.

Finally Mark has Drew and Jason faceoff in a game of Trivia to see who is the trivia master of the Q. Who won? Who knew more? Which person seemed to guess too much? All this and more will be answered in this weeks finale!

First up Mark wants to find out about the wrestler and his background. Hailing from STL, Mark and his co-host Jason Kull find out that there is a former Junior Blues Player who had a shot at a major university that historical in our great country and it ain't Harvard. This leads to convos about Pro-Wrestling and the business and JSO's eventual rise to popularity.

It's not been a good week for Trump. It seems the documents he took were so secret even the FBI had to get clearance to view them for investigating. Which really just whittled the culprits down to Trump and Pence technically. And since the world knows Pence was attacked on Jan 6th, it doesn't seem to point to anyone other than Don. But Mark tries to put the way we look this and other things in perspective throughtout this show. 

Finally Mark and the boys discuss AI and how it won a competition for digital art at the Colorado State Fair and how close we are getting to ourselves eradicating ourselves. And then it's time for the one and only JSO to jump on the hotseat and answer some random questions to make himself feel important and to help us learn of the AVATAR OF EXCELLENCE and who he is!

First up is Liz cheney and her need to win her primary in Wyoming. Now Wyoming believes anything Donald Trump says. There is no real verification for anything the choose to do and they chose to fire Liz Cheney. So now they are the party of criminals and losers. Mark and Drew discuss how this is different than any other year in the history of ever.

Second, the guys focus on what was being traded and bandied about by Trump during his raid in the past few weeks. It's said that ole Donnie had classified secret nuclear documents he took from the archives...and they FOUND those specific documents. Not easy to get ones either. So this was a decision by a treasonous person against the USA. 

Finally the new documentary TrainWreck: Woodstock '99 came out and Mark wants to discuss it a bit and focus on Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit were to blame for the rioting and dangerous atmorsphere...but they were already pissed before Fred Durst and company showed up. 

All this and much more on this episode of The Q!

And the FBI figured it out. Then they went and searched and found those exact documents they were looking for. Trump claimed it was a political poloy, except they found the stuff. So how was it politics? 

Mike Eise and Jason Kull join to discuss this latest story in the world of the former president. Mark then reminds the world that Alex Jones and his text's ae out there floating around. With all this connecting back to Trump in many ways, we are finding out that the republican voters were the fools the Q always claimed they were. 

Next up the guys focus on candidates for the 2024 presidential election because Mike wants some younger blood in the office to focus on pressing issues of 2022. This makes sense and many have claimed Trump, Biden and all of the people of the past few years are just too old to be handling these things. 

Finally, Mark Discusses how conspiratorial people tend to take things in the media and alter them to fit their perception and try to lie to people. There are big networks like FOX where they all read the same speech after trump took office...so it is real that people use media to swerve others...but it's usually Trump and conservatives that are doing it.

Well it's this idea that you remember things in a similar but wrong way from the way it was originally presented. Well welcome the Q's version of that! Mark Bland our great host seems to be Mandela'ing himself all over the place on this episode. Drew Pinson and Mike Eise join to discuss a few different things and the episode takes an interesting turn. 

First up the gents discuss Drew Pinson and his harrowing adventure at his job the other night. Drew was involved in an active shooter situation and goes into detail discussing his involvement and everything surrounding it! This comes on the heels of what is going to be the most rain to fall in a 24 hour period in St. Louis history. Drew gets caught in this torrential rain storm while trying to calm down from his life flashing before his eyes. All this and more, so check it out!

Next up, there are people in the republican party that think they are going to have a civil war. How many of these people fall into this category? Well the guys discuss the potential for civil war and if the 30% of republicans is indicative of Trump supporters or just an angry amount. 

Finally, Mark and Drew get into a debate. Mark is discussing something regarding his background with LGBTQ and makes the comment that the culture tends to bring out and flourish in the world of the arts and other great things. Drew feels mark is stating things in a prejudice way. Mark being older thinks he is fine describing the situation and how people will view what he said. Then comes the challenge for all LGBTQ people to listen to the episode and let Mark and the guys know if it sounds prejudice or if it's Drew overvaluing it too much?

First up, the guys get to know a bit about Mr. Sinclair and his focus for the rest of the campaign. This includes the constituents in the district 2 area for the state of Missouri. Michael is focusing on Term Limits for judges and the SCOTUS, plus he wants to better our infrastructure and women's rights are heavily on his mind. This all gets Mr. Eise amped up to discuss the electoral college and how voting is used in the USA today.

Then it's time for Michael to jump into the Hot SEAT and do what the others before him did...answer the questions! And he does, while also getting people amped up to change more laws and things in the USA, just off his answers alone. A candidate of merit!

The Q - 512 - Hunting RINOs The Q - 512 - Hunting RINOs Sat, 16 Jul 2022 19:00:27 +0000 So Eric Greitens decided to put out a commercial in St. Louis stating that he is HUNTING RINO's (Republicans In Name Only).  This is kinda crazy since he is openly using language and visuals that are feeding his sycophant lifestyle of wanting to hurt people. Why? Well we discuss this on the newest Q. 

Jonathan May and Jason Kull make their way back to the table to discuss the stories in the news. This includes the January 6th hearings that just happened (again) and we found out that the Oath Keepers were aware of the plot a few weeks before as shown through text messages. Plus one of the men there at the inssurection has had a change of heart and testified against Trump and all the conservatives. 

Next up is the police video and surveillance video released by the media of UVALDE and their lack of effort trying to save the Robb elementary kids. It's kinda sickening and makes adult very angry when they see this video. 

Finally, to get away from those evil and bad stories, Mark lightens it up a bit with a game of Choose you House and What Movie or TV show would you live in. Hilarity ensues and everyone had a blast. check out this new episode of the Q!

When Mark left, the country was struggling but moving forward, when he came back, it was as if he landed in 1935 Germany. Authoritarianism swept through the Supreme Court and they decided to overturn Roe v. Wade. Which took rights away from millions of women in one instant and turned the clock back to a time that Donald Trump enjoyed. 

Mark talks about his cruise, but then immediately jumps into abortion rights and the SCOTUS decision while he was gone. This leads to a convo about parents trying to indoctrinate other people's kids into their way of thinking. The only ones that do it consistently are weird christian and evangelical children. 

Next up there was a special last minute hearing for the Jan 6th testimonies and committee. They brought in former WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson to testify to a bevvy of issue including Trump throwing plates of food and condiments everywhere. How does this affect the committee...the guys discuss.

Finally Mark takes some opinions on the Roe v. Wade decision and then brings up some questions for Drew and Mike to throw around and answer for themselves. Most importantly, What is america good at? What do they do well that others notice? Find out what the guests said on this edition of The Q!

First up, Mark talks to Dirty about ASMR and this new fad of white noising our lives for the sake of calming down. On top of this, it gets deeper to the tune of millions of people. This walks right into Mark and Dirty focusing on the fact that the millennials seemed to have changed the world...but is it for the better or worse. 

This becomes a game of Gen X versus the Millennials on The Q. But it doesn't get that far because one of the people in the game is in total agreement with the other one...but which one is it. 

Later on the guys focus on conservatives and what the word "conservative" is starting to morph into. People that used to be proud are now having to watch what they associate their beliefs with because that umbrella and stereotype is getting worse not better. Will people in 2040 even identify as Conservative or not...they discuss!

Finally Mark, Drew and Dirty (aka Clean) discuss some moral dilemma's and then finally there is some XFL sweet bonus info that NOBODY knows until now! WE get the secret lowdown on something Battlehawks fans have been waiting to hear...another nugget of what is to come...tune in and find out what!

He has made the dumbest comments regarding doors and the Uvalde shooting. He has thrown his hat in the ring to give daily quips about gun control...but nobody is telling Ted what he really needs to hear. Well that my friends is why the Q show is here! 

First up Mark welcomes Drew Pinson and Jason Kull to show to discuss the newest developments going on with the Uvalde shooting at Robb Elementary last week. It seems the police were less than prepared and then got a little worried about being shot by the killer. Things that we will definitely address on this episode. 

Also, Mark has been thinking that this is the beginning of 2022 summer, and right after is the fall and the elections. Which will be the beginning of non stop stupid commericals and people trying to get everyone's attention for 2024 poresidential election...but who truly has a shot on the GOP side with all these bad shootings and things going on...well the men discuss and figure it out! 

Finally Mark and the guys were talking off air what the greatest TV sitcom of all time is. So Mark found a list on the internet and figured, lets see who is better at guessing. So Drew and Jason square off in a game of "who knows better" with the Greatest TV Sitcoms of all time! 

Pay attention, this show goes by fast!

Next up is the Buffalo shooting since it was first on the minds of people. But Mark is sick of discussing and giving creedence to bad people that kill others. Brings about a discussion on suicide and being a killer. Should they or shouldn't they. Well the men discuss. 

During the show, Jason decides to join Truth Social to see what recent primary loser Madison Cawthorn had to say. But this unravelled a lot of baggage that the new social media network is not telling people. Like they force you to follow and "like" two conservatives  to juice their numbers. Which is dishonest right off the bat. But old people making young people social media, you are gonna have mistake that are glaring.

The Q - 504 - Wrestling with Ourselves The Q - 504 - Wrestling with Ourselves Sat, 14 May 2022 19:00:31 +0000 The Q prides itself on discussing the latest in the news, current affairs and pop culture. But some shows touch on other topics that make us revisit and discuss deeper the way we are as people. This is one of those episodes. 

First up our special guests this week are Alfred Konuwa and Drew Pinson. Alfred is the Pro-wrestling writer for Forbes magazine, covering the business on their behalf. Also coming back for another round is Drew Pinson to add his take on what is going on in the world. 

The Abortion issue is still rife in the USA with people attacking supreme court justices houses and making a mockery of most of us as Adults. And this is why the episode is named the way it is. Sometimes we need to discuss things deeper and wrestle with our own decision making process to come forward with the best options. It doesn't seem we are there yet and so for that we are Wrestling with Ourselves for the time being. Mark and Drew discuss this aspect of life and the controversy currently.

Alfred Konuwa joins the show to discuss being a wrestling writer, but also to talk about the business. Mark and alfred touch on the internet dirt sheets and their value in 2022, who you should and probably shouldn't listen to to get your news, some new moves with WWE talent and much more. Plus Alfred hits the hotseat to answer a few questions since he is a first timer. 

Finally Mark and Drew discuss a letter from a distraught woman that is dealing with heavy 21st century problems because the past is coming to bite her "date" on the butt. Find out what problem is going on that really is going to become an issue for everyone in the world at some point.

This week the SCOTUS decided they are gonna overturn Roe V. Wade and make abortion illegal in the USA. This seems weird to be happening now, as if these justices are the ones to make that decision and make it stick. But a document was leaked and then verified by the SCOTUS to be accurate. So here we are! 


Drew Pinson is a long time fan of the show and wanted to see how we make the donuts, so him and Jason Kull join us on this weeks episode to discuss ROEvsWADE and all the things that will happen with this decision. So a lot to talk about.

Plus Madison Cawthorn has been caught in a precarious position and his electable future might be in druthers. But it's weird that the conservatives always talking sexual abuse and pedophilia, but also are the ones that hate all that stuff. Well when you see this video, those feelings exit the door.

Finally Drew Pinson is going to take the HotSeat and put in his answers so that he can go down in Q history as one of the real ones!

A Show so big I had to split it into 2 episodes just to get the people involved that we wanted and needed. 

First up the show welcomes long time Producer Bobby back. We haven't seen Bobby in a long while and it's nice to have him around for a show. Also making an appearance is our favorite liberal  Jason Kull. 

From there we venture back to the original guest on the Q. Episode one features our host Mark and long time film producer and director Anthony Cabral. Well even with moving and living in Chicago now, he couldn't be stopped from returning to the airwaves to chop it up with Mark and discuss Russia and a few other news stories. 

Then it is on to the main event. For years the Tournament of Pop culture was a mainstay on the show! There is no way an episode goes by without a throwback to the TOPC! This TOPC is perfect and a long time in the coming.

But that's not all that is happening. It seems Trump and his family are in hot water with the Southern district of NY and the Supreme court is unsealing all documents regarding Trump and January 6th 2021. This will not bode well for the former President who lost the re-election campaign in 2020 to Biden. 

Also, it seems Joe Rogan (aka POGAN) is back in the news after he tried to pretend he knew more than a doctor about the doctors own job. The viral clip went live and ever since, Pogan has been the vicitm of people opinionating and discussing his collossal miscue on his show.

The Q - 492 - Overlanding The Q - 492 - Overlanding Wed, 05 Jan 2022 21:31:09 +0000 The Q is known for tapping into the Urban Dictionary aspect of the world and bringing you guys the newest and fresh lingo that is being used worldwide. 

We brought you "Soaking" on the "Soakening" episode of the show (ep. 483). So we brought back our friend and former co-host with Mark, BJ Lange and his friend Sara Patterson, to discuss a new thing happening in the world of Jeeps and off roading called OVERLANDING. Techincally its exploring remote locations via travel in an offroad vehicle. So this becomes a heavy topic on this episode of the Q. 

As we stated Bj brought a friend named Sara that would eventually have to sit on the HotSeat and answer some questions, but before that...we get into the acting background of both Sar and BJ based on their living in California and dealing with being working entertainers in Hollywood during Covid.  This leads to the two explaining the darker side of Hollywood and the things that you naturally have to deal with because of the way the business is still structured. 

Finally Mark and his guests discuss the recent twitter decision to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from her Twitter access and block her account from being used.  This also leads to a discussion about Greg Abbot (Gov of Texas) asking the federal government for Covid help after 2 years of being Covid deniers and being against everything the Government said or did.

And this week is no different. 

Brandon Travis returns to the airwaves to discuss life and what has been happening in his world. Brandon was last seen before Covid started in early 2020...now at the end of 2021 (almost 2 years later), he returns with stories! But this is not a light and cheery show...nope. Brandon requests that Mark go DARK in the studios for this one and they turn off all the lights and let the LED's bask the studio in a colorful glow! The Dark Show is born!

It's been a hell of a year and Brandon Travis is also aware of this. Starting the year out in Florida, Brandon saw life from a different perspective while down in the Sunshine state during this COVID pandemic.  Mark and Brandon start out by catching up but not before Mark picks the brain of Brandon about his Florida adventures and how the state handled their COVID perspective. 

Next up, Mark makes sure that Mr. Travis knows that this popularity has grown immensely throughout the year and brings up this new idea that Let's Go Brandon was talking about him all along...Brandon definitely agrees to this! 

Finally, it's christmas time and Mark wants to make sure that xmas is a part of the xmas week show...so Mark and Brandon dip into to discussing the past Christmas' and which ones were memorable and for what reasons. Plus Brandon tells us his amazing christmas story! 

All this on this Christmas Edition of The Q 2021!

First up, Mark and the guys discuss the Alec Baldwin bombshell interview where he claims he never pulled the trigger.

Rittenhouse has been freed. The guys in the Amhaud Arbery case are found guilty...and the focus of White people in the eye of the American justice system has been decided for now. 

Andy Echele joins Mark this week to discuss many subjects and topics. First up Mark and Andy discuss the fallout from the Rittenhouse verdict. Why was it self defense? Was the Judge biased? Who benefitted from this other than Kyle Rittenhouse? Will people be able to just claim self defense now? All this is discussed and picked apart.

How different is today really from the past? Aside from social media, what about today is really different. Famous people existed in the past, so did non-famous ones. People in the world of sports today have platforms to speak out on, but they had the same ability to touch the masses in the past. Mark and Andy discuss many aspects of the past versus now and how things looked versus how they look today. 

Finally there was a massacre in Waukesha, WI. Another story out of the state of Wisconsin where a man decided to run through a parade of people and kill multiples while injuring many others. Why was this man allowed out on lowered bails for similar acts in the past...leading up to people getting killed by him?  Mark and Andy tackle this powerful story and many others in this new Q show!

Tons and tons of people benefit from this gas line and their is a plan to shut it down in december...walking into midwest winter. The gents discuss this and much more on this episode of The Q!

First up Mark mentions he is involved with a new podcast called "Pardon My Podcast" with Bob Anders. Mark brings up he was asked who is the worst person on the Liberal side in media and the worst on the conservative side since Trump left office. Mark and Jay break down the people and their influence currently. Who do they pick, listen to find out!

Jason discusses that his favorite thing since 2021 has started is reading up on people that were deftly against Masks and Mandates, as well as the Covid Vaccine...just to see them get the vaccine and no bode so well with it. What kind of people purposely put themselves in harms way for no reason other than stupidity...well Jason lets all of us know!

The Q - 486 - Anarchy or Money The Q - 486 - Anarchy or Money Thu, 23 Sep 2021 16:56:03 +0000 Another exciting week on the Q. Mark Bland is joined this week by an old friend of the show and our co-host Gary Weed. The guest of the week is none other than Sam Arcobasso the head of Sarko Industries. 

Sam came to us a few years back with an interesting story and has returned as a man of comfort and ease. Sarko is a company designed to put high end marketing professionals and businesses with clients looking to take their projects to the next level. Sam has been in the industry for a few years and and decided he could help businesses where others couldn't. From Hospitals to restaurants to everything in between, Sarko has been helping businesses for a while and successfully...which is what leads to the second topic. 

With the ability to market to many places, Sam also wanted to start helping high school students close to graduating but needing that final credit to get the diploma. So with Sarko and including some great minds, Sam setup a HS graduation program and reached out to local schools to get it started. The students can come work like and intern for Sarko, gain their final credits and walk with their graduating class (which is a big deal for many students). Kirkwood School district has signed on and other schools are currently being talked with about the opportunity. Either way, a great way for kids to get help and learn...all this and more in the discussion about Sam's current doings. 

Finally Gary, Mark and Sam discuss some world politics and stories, shortly before finding out that Sam doesn't believe in the government as a body for the people and to help the people. This turns into a discussion about political beliefs and what people should focus on rather than not focus on. 

An amazing episode of the Q all primed up and ready!

First up Mark and Jonathan May welcome Tuffy Brandon to the show to discuss the current stories of the day. 

First up, the guys breakdown some common misconceptions about race and culture in 2021. Mark and Tuffy discuss prejudice and racism, helping map it out better for people out there that might not understand the focus and reasoning for why they boxed and framed the way they are in society. 

This leads to the Trump supporters and conservatives newest favorite thing to do....taking Ivermectin, aka Horse Dewormer. Joe Rogan the well known podcaster and UFC host recently went online to explain that he had Covid 19 and was taking ivermectin to kill it off. Of course, the information and proof that it works is always up in the air, because anything that works, gets rerouted into a money making medicine that the FDA approves for the corporations. This is how Mark and the guys know that this Ivermectin is not working at all. 

Mark knows all this talk always leads down one road in non-election years...taking the stories and things happening and trying to make the president look like a bad guy. It was much less difficult with Trump since he shot himself in the foot more than anyone could, but with Biden they are throwing everything at him hoping something will sick similar to Obama. Mark realizes that conservatives hate people that are squeaky clean because it means only they (conservatives) are thinkers of bad decisions and ideas. 

Finally as with all new guests, Tuffy plays on the Hot Seat to a bevy of questions that he didn't see coming. This leads to more interesting discussions! All of this and much much more on this new episode of the Q show! WHEW!

First up Mark and Jonathan discuss the take over of Afghanistan by the Taliban! As with anything within touching distance of Trump, this entire thing wreaks of bad Trump decisions and trying to leave people holding the bag. The soldiers in the field were already living and working in Afghanistan, so this is nothing new for them. It's new to people in the USA on social media. So the men discuss in realms of American voters and what they should be paying attention to.

Next up, the guys discuss the anti-vaccine people and how their decisions are affecting the day to day life of people in America. Mark forgets his friends name but that brings up the fact that many people are crazy with their hatred of the vaccine. Jonathan brings up Chet Hanks and how his father couldn't possibly be proud to be associated with his son. This leads to a discussion about people that are conspiracy theorists and how they never grab on to educated science in life. 

Finally, Mark wants to discuss diversity in media and specifically brings up this past Olympics coverage by NBC and how he is noticing it more and more with the panels of people they are choosing. But things take years to slowly implement and is this being shoved down peoples throats, or are we there now? Mark gets surprised by some info from Mr. May and it may make him understand better. You decide. All this and more from this episode of the Q.

Mark is joined by Gary Weed and Jason Kull for this romp through life in 2021....on this episode:

Facebook Jail is an issue for many and they have discussed it multiple times on the show...but this is the current set of stories and reasons why our favorite guests in their current time-outs! 

Simone Biles has already achieved more than many in her sport ever will. The consumate professional, she decided to back out of a few olympic events at the last moment. The world went into backlash mode with many accusing her of being weak and taking a spot from someone that deserved it. The guys discuss all of it and the backlash too.

And Finally, Mark cam across a unique post that alluded to something in the Mormon religion. He wasn't sure about it, but decided "hey WTF, why not" and brought it out in the open on the show. Needless to say, it is worth your listening to it. From there things go off the rails but in a good way. And remember we are not prejudice towards any religion or people....but funny is always gonna be funny.

Mark invited Marcus Boston to join him on this forray into discussion and some of the things he's working on.

But not all is lost....Jen Psaki is the press secretary for Joe Biden. And his team is not taking any guff from anyone when it comes to painting things with a veiled brush. Psaki took it to Steve Doocy from Fox News about his way of spinning a question to make it look evil, when in all honesty it is a common thing. Check out the discussion on between Mark and Marcus on that accord. Plus, Trump taking pot shots and they are failing constantly. 

Next up is the fact Mark noticed recently that kids don't have favorite commercials like we had growing up prior to 2010. All they know are the commercials that interrupt their Youtube and some late night infomercials. Marcus and Mark take a dive and discuss these things. 

But this finally leads to Mark showing how indelible life really is and Mark challenges Marcus to listen to some classic TV shows themes and figure out if he knew them or not. Do you know them...probably...but it's always fun finding out again!

Marcus and Mark take a dive and discuss these things.  But this finally leads to Mark showing how indelible life really is and Mark challenges Marcus to listen to some classic TV shows themes and figure out if he knew them or not. Do you know them...probably...but it's always fun finding out again!  Tournament of Pop Culture LIVE - Will Smith Movies Tournament of Pop Culture LIVE - Will Smith Movies Thu, 22 Jul 2021 19:31:22 +0000 We have a fun thing we have been doing for years on the Q called the Tournament of Pop Culture. 

When we were approached by Always Forward Media for some live shows, we decided to break out the format and try it in front of a live crowd. It worked great and people have been asking for more ever since. 

On this first live forray, Mark Bland and Gary Weed host the Best Will Smith Movie as their first attempt. So many great movies to choose from and what Mark originally thought was a easy slam dunk...turned into quite the TOPC. 

So listen and enjoy....and what do you think is the movie that the people voted on? Also do you agree? What movie surprised you? 
All this and much more in this first ever LIVE Tournament of Pop Culture.

The Q - 481 - Southwest Owes Me The Q - 481 - Southwest Owes Me Wed, 07 Jul 2021 18:51:04 +0000 Southwest Owes Me for sure. Mark comes home fresh from one of the bigger vacations him and the family has been on for the first time since before Covid. Mark took the kids to Disney World but the Trip did not get off on the right note and Mark is here to spill all the tea on that situation and put Southwest Airlines in their place. 

On top of that, Jonathan May joins the show to discuss the Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul boxing match, and the upcoming Woodley vs. Jake Paul fight. Did it live up to the hype that they portrayed in the media...the guys talk about that. 

Coming out of Covid, a ton of businesses are finding it tough to staff and fill voids left by the year and half long Covid downturn. Is this the CEO's faults and business owners...OR....are people being more lazy now and is it because of government payouts? Should companies waste there time on trying to lure in new people or spend the time to keep the loyal trained employees happy. The guys discuss this and every aspect.

The Q - 480 - Another Fxcking Monday The Q - 480 - Another Fxcking Monday Mon, 07 Jun 2021 20:51:18 +0000 Since becoming partnered with the Always Forward Media Group, Mark Bland and The Q have some cool things planned. 

On this episode of the Q, we debut the show called Another Fxcking Monday. Monday's are different for everyone and everyone has differing mondays in their lives. Some people's Mondays start on Thursday, for others it just the typical Monday is Monday....regardless there is a whole week worth of work that has to be done on your Monday!

First up Marcus Boston and Mark Bland discuss Pride months and their value to society in 2021. Who can have one, who can't and why it all matters anyway. This is is a deep discussion on race and religion and all of it, but it's a discussion deep with conversation and worthy of your ears to make you think. 

This leads to a discussion on reparations and how they should be handled in the USA, if they happen at all. Who should get paid? What makes this person worthy and that family not? Mark and Marcus tackle these hard hitting questions!

Finally, Mark and Marcus discuss how people and 2021 should be viewed in the annuls of history. Were we better people? Were we worse people? Was all the in-fighting and insurrection stuff worthwhile or a expensive waste of time? 

All this and more will be answered on this special episode of The Q!

First up Mark has an issue with people coming after him for discussing the Semantic aspect of a online convo he was having recently. People accused him of being insensitive because he discussed the definitions and primitive language of past time periods and how words were and weren't used in specific times. Was he in the wrong, you decide after listening.

Next Mark presents Jon with some Shower thoughts....things that make you go hmmm... and make you think deeper about some things in your world you might not have been thinking about! 

Finally, Jon and Mark take on the listeners and their thoughts they write out to Mark on a weekly basis. Sometimes they say amazing things that everyone can agree with...but other times they say things that make you go Hmmm...but the gents break down all the thoughts and ideas and bring you the funny on this new episode of the Q!

The Q - 478 - Semi-Pro The Q - 478 - Semi-Pro Thu, 06 May 2021 19:19:05 +0000 Oh another amazing week and another amazing Q show. 

Producer Bobby and Jason Kull drop by to discuss all the happenings in the world. The show starts off discussing the recent Always Forward Media get together and how the Tournament of Pop Culture went over so well! This leads to a discussion about Will Smith movies, but not giving away the winner, some of what was discussed on the taping of that TOPC!

Next the guys get into discussing the St. Louis side of things and why they constantly gravitate towards propping up horrible people locally. Whether it be a Josh Hawley or a Leonard Little, or whoever...from the media to the papers, to the online side...STL loves propping up the worst offenders and leaving the decent people by the wayside for a few clicks. But if they worked to promote decent shows like The Q or Journey through LBS, or any other decent program...the notoriety from the market would Triple!

Finally this walks into a discussion about facebook jail and how many people are posting about it. But, as Mark states, is this some attack on morals? Or....is facebook just putting a face and name to people who are too scared to commit offline crime, but willing to show who they really are online? Maybe the people deserve the jail. The guys discuss this and much more on the Q!

This week Gary Weed drops in and discusses the new things going on in his world and ours. 

First up....Mark doesn't want to discuss the next shooting for another week in the country. There seems to be a new one each time and everyone has their wishes and wants for how they are viewed. Mark explains his reasoning for not wanting to discuss the newer shooting stating that nobody is willing to play the rules down the middle like himself. Calling things for what they are. Honesty as people. 

Next Mark and Gary discuss tipping in our culture and the value of it as we move into realms where the the business of tipping and ordering has switched up because of Covid. How do you tip people for food orders? What about other types of tips?

Finally Mark and Gary discuss the power of the USA in it's current form. What they can pull off and what they can't. How the other countries should view us...There is a lot of posturing in the world of politics and power, but the target is firmly on the back of the USA! Where should we go with our background and power? Find out what the guys say....plus more questions for us to discuss. 

So much to be entertained by!

And he is never happy. 

On this episode we are greeted and welcome Jason Kull back to the show to discuss the George Floyd trial that is currently happening in Minneapolis.  We also touch on the Sydney Powell lawsuit a smidge.

But this show is a rundown of the current events and we start with the death of rapper DMX and the Queen's husband Prince Phillip, who passed at 99 years old! 

On the heels of this is the new political story of Matt Gaetz and his need to date and take underage women (aka children) across state lines to hang out and pay them with Venmo...a digital footprint of unbelievable magnitude. This is craziness! And these are the same people reaching out to Trump for support in their down times. Guess what Trump did....listen and find out!

Finally, Mark and Jason take some interesting things and breka them down for the people out there...plus at what point does the political party and the legislature follow through on these treasonous things done on Jan 6th? Is it okay for Trump and lawmakers to get away with starting this issue.  There are people that supported Trump heavily that have their lives turned upside down now because they followed trumps orders....but Trump is just fine in his palace in Mar-A-Lago...

And he is never happy.  On this episode we are greeted and welcome Jason Kull back to the show to discuss the George Floyd trial that is currently happening in Minneapolis.  We also touch on the Sydney Powell lawsuit a smidge. But this show is a rundown of the current events and we start with the death of rapper DMX and the Queen's husband Prince Phillip, who passed at 99 years old!  On the heels of this is the new political story of Matt Gaetz and his need to date and take underage women (aka children) across state lines to hang out and pay them with Venmo...a digital footprint of unbelievable magnitude. This is craziness! And these are the same people reaching out to Trump for support in their down times. Guess what Trump did....listen and find out! Finally, Mark and Jason take some interesting things and breka them down for the people out there...plus at what point does the political party and the legislature follow through on these treasonous things done on Jan 6th? Is it okay for Trump and lawmakers to get away with starting this issue.  There are people that supported Trump heavily that have their lives turned upside down now because they followed trumps orders....but Trump is just fine in his palace in Mar-A-Lago...

The Q - 474 - Weaponizing Wokeness The Q - 474 - Weaponizing Wokeness Thu, 01 Apr 2021 21:20:47 +0000 On this newest episode of the Q, things get switched up a little! Our guest is none other than Jason "DIRTY" Spurgeon, BattleHawks point man and Wrestling lover. But Dirty comes with his own plan in mind. Jason decides he wants to interview host Mark Bland about himself, on his own show. Never being one to turn down someone's hopes, Mark obliges and the show gets off to a fast placed start!

This leads to a discussion about the infamous Q Anon. Dirty has been watching some documentaries about weird bad people and this leads to a discussion of if the Q Anon people are as bad and scary as some serial killers like John Wayne Gacy? Should we be watching them closely so they don't also go down these more horrific paths after January 6th? This and much more in our discussion about the crazies of the USA! 

Finally Mark and Dirty get into a discussion about Tucker Carlson and if he is a good person. This leads to a discussion about "wokeness" in 2021. Have we gone too far too fast with wokeness...is it a bad thing to constantly be attacking everything we disagree with? Also is wokeness being weaponized for the wrong reasons because people are eager to correct the worlds bad habits? Is the pendulum swinging too far back against other cultures in the hopes of pointing out things to be unhappy about?

All this and much more on this interesting episode of the Q!

But that all changes with this new episode. DJ is back and we are rearing for some more fun on the Q. 

Right off the bat it couldn't be contained, DJ and Mark jump into Biden and the job he's been doing since Trump left office. The guys discuss the effectiveness of Biden in the first few months and praise him for the stimulus and deterrents to the COVID virus that he fast tracked. 

This leads to another discussion about the treatment of Asian Americans on the heels of a mass shooting in Atlanta, where a man went to multiple spa's and killed 8 people 6 being Asian American. Is there true Asian American hate, or is the story bigger than the argument? But the best part is that he blamed a special thing for why he did it....something you won't believe...find out what! 

Finally, This all leads to a discussion on Conspiracy and how it warps the minds of the people that believe it. Mark and DJ discuss the QAnon people, the alien people, the Lizard people, and even the religious fanatics that act the same exact way as the rest of them.

First up, It's nice to have a president that focuses on the country and trying to fix the problems within the country as opposed to ignoring things and letting them get out of control. Mark and Jason discuss the effects of Joe Biden on the country and where Trump failed along the way to help everyone out during the pandemic. This all comes on the heels a of new 1.9 Trillion dollar stimulus package for COVID

Next up, It seems gas prices are starting to become noticeable again, but the reasons are all over the place for why they are necessary (because they are not necessary ever). Mark breaks down how this can affect us as a country over the next few years and we learn from our past mistakes. Plus we pin the blame on who is really to blame, and their name hasn't been uddered in a little while.

Finally, would you sleep fully clothed every night of the week? It sounds weird but there are people that sleep in their everyday clothes. It's part of who they are...But would you do it? We find out this and much more on this episode of the Q!

First up Mark wants to discuss the student loan forgiveness program that Joe Biden has presented. Mark and Gary weigh out the good and bad of the program with Gary benefitting from paying off those student loans. Will this be a big win for everyone or is this going to divide each other even further in this country? 

Next up Rush Limbaugh has died. This is no secret to the rest of the world, but he was a divider of people up till the end. We all knew he was sick and failing slowly so it was no surprise to anyone. But here we sit with the career and life in hindsight and man Rush is not coming off too glowing. Mark and Gary talk about the career and the meaning to their own broadcasting careers.

Finally...Mark and Gary's final debate on Iron Maiden and the Rock n Roll HOF is here. Iron Maiden is nominated and Mark takes on Gary in a discussion of the merit of their nomination. Listen to these two music guys argue and debate the reasoning for Iron Maiden to be in the Hall of Fame...who do you side with? This is the final debate between these two juggernauts on this subject.

The Q - 470 - Diplomacy The Q - 470 - Diplomacy Mon, 15 Feb 2021 21:08:12 +0000 Diplomacy seems to be the thing most needed after one Mr. Don Trump left office. For a long time diplomacy was out the window, but with the change in guard also comes a change in perspective and people are looking for that softer vibe for a while. 

WELL THAT'S NOT THIS SHOW, sorta...! On this weeks episode, Dirty (aka Jason) joins us on the show to discuss all kinds of stories with Pro-wrestling in the St. Louis Area...as well a deep dive into some politics and other assorted things throughout this 2 hour+ mega show. It was as if the content gods couldn't stop these two from playing in the sandbox when they got together. But that's all for your enjoyment. 

First Up Mark and Dirty table some beef right off the bat that really wasn't beef as you will find out (mostly cause Mark is getting old, lol) and this leads to some background on Dirty as he rises in the ranks of St. Louis media and starts to produce different styles of shows. This also leads to a discussion about Dirty and his teams early days on Riverfront Radio where Mark also had a past background dealing with that media company too.

This leads to a discussion about the newest inductees of The Independent St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame and contemporaries of St. Louis Wrestling that were involved with Mark when he was coming up in the business in late 1990's. This leads to a discussion about the different Hall of Fames and how people go about becoming eligible for induction. 

But this show doesn't stop, next up is the Political section of the show. And Mark and Dirty do not hold back one little bit when discussing politics. It's almost as if Dirty was released from political discussion jail because he doesn't hold back explaining what he thinks about the current state of politics and the stories within it. Mark picks up that Dirty went down some weird rabbit holes in the search for political truth and this lead to QAnon! Mark and Dirty discuss some of the weirder beliefs that Dirty came across during his time dipping through these rabbit holes. 

So much on this show we can't even tag because the show has so much in it. Trust us when we say this is definitely worth checking out!

First up the gentlemen discuss their backgrounds in Social Media and Mark reconnecting with a gentleman named Mike Wilkerson and some of their discussions regarding politics and some of the past stuff from their lives. This leads to a discussion about how Trump is now pouting because he doesn't have a outlet to bent his dislike and is talking about starting his own social media network. 

Next up the gents discuss Marjorie Taylor Greene and he recent situation regarding the Capitol Riots and her stances outside of the political spectrum. Mrs. Greene has been seen going around for years antagonizing and attacking people on public streets smearing their names and defaming them. Why? Because she feel she was lead down the wrong path by the people in charge of her party. Nope she's just a racist rural Gerogia lady and Atlanta is too black for her to be happy. So why not be a racist and an ass.

Finally...Mark and Jonathan dig into the past and Jonathan gets thrown on the hot seat for the first time in a long time. He answers the questions but this leads to a discussion about Mark and some Bitcoin he received in 2009. He then sold them off for a little bit of money. Jonathan loses it and boom...the show has another golden moment!

Because she feel she was lead down the wrong path by the people in charge of her party. Nope she's just a racist rural Gerogia lady and Atlanta is too black for her to be happy. So why not be a racist and an ass. Finally...Mark and Jonathan dig into the past and Jonathan gets thrown on the hot seat for the first time in a long time. He answers the questions but this leads to a discussion about Mark and some Bitcoin he received in 2009. He then sold them off for a little bit of money. Jonathan loses it and boom...the show has another golden moment! Mark BlandThis week on the show Jonathan May brings his comedic style to the airwaves to discuss more life with Mark Bland.  First up the gentlemen discuss their backgrounds in Social Media and Mark reconnecting with a gentleman named Mike Wilkerson and some of their discussions regarding politics and some of the past stuff from their lives.

First up Tom Brady (Mark's secret love) has made it back to the Superbowl for another shot at a 7th ring! Will he do it, or maybe not....Also Aaron Rogers is in the news for losing and people wondering what happens with his team and his position. The guys also find out that Deshaun Watson is leaving Houston for greener pastures and the guy try and figure out what is going to be the best spot for him in the NFL. 

Mark then talks about the pendulum swing of politics and how the world keeps swinging back and forth from extremes. Whether it's from Bush to Obama or from Obama to Trump...it seems the cancel culture is now coming offline and making decisions on the world. Mark and the guys discuss.

Finally we got the world on it's side dealing with Kelly Anne Conway using social media for revenge porn against her own daughter...AND... It seems the online stock guys figured out that they can control the stock market and make a company like GameStop ("GME" on the ticker) worth a ton of cash. Mark and the guys discuss all this and much more!

On this date it was going to be proven that Joe lost and Trump won. Then it was December 14th....then it was Jan 6th (they tried)...then it was January 20th...but you don't get it. The country is bigger than your political ideology. WW2 happened and the NAZI's were the bad guys for forcing people against their will. But January 2oth came and went, Trump left after causing more problems than the world cared for. 

Oh well. Times move one and so does the Q. On this amazing episode, Mark welcomes EJ Carter and music artist Z-Major to the show to discuss this new President and their administration, but not before discussing the old administration and their last ditch efforts to be the worst humans on earth.

But before all that, Mark gives a history lesson on BBS systems, the original internet and how some of the Gen X viewed different times and what came out of them. This leads to a discussion about Social media and how it has become the focus of new generations, but there is a cut off app/platform for every generation where the people choose to stop on their own.

This leads to a flub by Mark regarding an old post by EJ Carter coming back but pure radio/podcast gold comes from the tiniest mistake! Listen as the guys prognosticate about the future based off EJ carter getting his record label...in 2019.

Finally the guys discuss the stupidity of the Trump supporters and their attempts at the Capitol building. How many came up off their high horse to denounce Trump while others picked up the reigns and tried to defend Donald. It was all for nothing as they were told from moment one on. But there decision to lay their fate out. But alas, it comes back to normal as Z-Major (aka Zach) must hit the hotseat and answer the tough questions so people can learn about him! 

All this to entertain you and inform you! Please RT and Share with your friends!

The Q - 465 - The Few The Q - 465 - The Few Mon, 11 Jan 2021 21:25:58 +0000 It's January 6th and Mark Bland, with Jason Kull, did not expect to be doing a show focused around this at all. 

See for years Mark has been dealing with a rogue element of politics which is this behind the scenes 4 Chan, QAnon, Trump Supporter conspiracy talk that others aren't researching or needing to watch. Through out the years, Mark has come on the Q and explained that there are rumblings that Trump can do this, or would do this other thing. But those are usually "theory" more than anything that would ever play out....until January 6th, 2021.

Mark and Jason have watched Donald Trump and Guiliani stand at a podium in front of Trump supporters and promote open insurrection against the US Capitol Building where VP Mike Pence is doing the electoral count. Off the well wishes of the US President and others, the seditious FEW have decided to invade the Capitol Building and killing 5 people (at the time of taping only 1/2 were known to have perished) in their wake. Destorying chambers, the rotunda and stealing things while breaking into computers and offices breaking federal laws.

In the wildest of events, Jason Kull and Mark Bland try to makes sense of what is happening and what should be happening from here on out. It's a historic, scary and damaging day for the Republic but many saw this coming....Also, how is a Capitol Building so under-guarded for the amount spent on Social media a day? 

Also this and more on this newest episode of The Q.

This isn't the year end show, but we are there. Close enough.

First up Bobby brings some beef to the table to discuss with Mark. It seems because of Bobby's past relationship with the show, he's been cold shouldered by other media. Mark has claimed for years on the show that people he's never worked with use their "make believe timeline and thoughts" as a way to lie to others. Here is a situation where people, who have no relationship with Mark (and never did) use Mark as a scapegoat for things. It's intellectually dishonest. And makes those people flat out liars. But this ends on a special message from Bobby that the Q and Mark approve!

Next it seems the VACCINES COMETH! As the year ends and Xmas is upon us, the world is getting the new Covid vaccines. Both Pfizer and Moderna have gotten FDA approval to roll them out and people are mixed on using them. Mark and the boys break down what a vaccine really is and what it's doing in layman's terms (the guys are not doctors) to your body when it gets it. Maybe you knew and maybe you didn't. But check this out and learn a little something new.

Finally, Defunding the police has been discussed a few times on the show, but Bobby and Jonathan break it down and get to the nitty gritty of how it's supposed to work and how people should be viewing these things. Interesting grey area that people discuss some aspects of but not the aspects we discuss on the Q.  After all this, the guys answer a pertinent Christmas question from a listener...Should it be okay to tell family and friends you are not getting them anything because you just don't have the money right now? With 2020 being rough and money being tight, is this okay to do. Find out what the answer is on this new episode of the Q!

With 2020 being rough and money being tight, is this okay to do. Find out what the answer is on this new episode of the Q!

]]> 01:16:22 true full mark@theqnow.com (Mark Bland)Producer Bobby and Jonathan May join to discuss the Holiday season, or in this case the coming future and the end of 2020. This isn't the year end show, but we are there. Close enough. First up Bobby brings some beef to the table to discuss with Mark. It seems because of Bobby's past relationship with the show, he's been cold shouldered by other media. Mark has claimed for years on the show that people he's never worked with use their "make believe timeline and thoughts" as a way to lie to others. Here is a situation where people, who have no relationship with Mark (and never did) use Mark as a scapegoat for things. It's intellectually dishonest. And makes those people flat out liars. But this ends on a special message from Bobby that the Q and Mark approve! Next it seems the VACCINES COMETH! As the year ends and Xmas is upon us, the world is getting the new Covid vaccines. Both Pfizer and Moderna have gotten FDA approval to roll them out and people are mixed on using them. Mark and the boys break down what a vaccine really is and what it's doing in layman's terms (the guys are not doctors) to your body when it gets it. Maybe you knew and maybe you didn't. But check this out and learn a little something new. Finally, Defunding the police has been discussed a few times on the show, but Bobby and Jonathan break it down and get to the nitty gritty of how it's supposed to work and how people should be viewing these things.

Find out what the answer is on this new episode of the Q!  The Q - 462 - Still Waiting The Q - 462 - Still Waiting Mon, 07 Dec 2020 20:48:49 +0000 Do we have authenticated Election results...not as long as republicans are involved with the government process in 2020. We are learning they tend to be very toxic people on a national stage and just as bad offline and in normal life. Does that mean they are bad people, well you be the judge of their actions. As far as the election goes...we are STILL WAITING.

Mike Eise comes back on to finally talk a bit about his poker playing and discuss his thoughts on where we are at with this world in 2020. The World Series of Poker champion talks about his run to his bracelet in 2009 and some of the finer points into playing against some of the best players on earth. 

Mark and Mike also talk about the Tyson vs. Jones exhibition fight and some of the rules put in place before the fight happens. How did the fight come off to you? Find out where our guys heads were at prior to the two men battling each other. 

Finally, based on their interactions living in St. Louis, MO and seeing it first hand, Mark and Mike breakdown the current stance of Republicans and how they are viewing them. With no election results certified and Trump rushing to Pardon everyone he knows or hired in the WH, It makes sense they would discuss this in detail and try to get to the bottom of the issues.

But where do these things formulate? How did we get to this point with Donald Trump and the antics he is pulling. Well on this episode of the Q we delve into that aspect of life. Travis brings up that the Stone Cold character from the 1990's of wrestling seems to be what Trump feels like. The crowd responds to it and everything. Problem is Mark knows this from his wrestling past and has touched on it before on the Q, but the guys go deeper this time. How do these two equate in the minds of many rural conservative? The guys discuss! 

Also COVID is rearing it's ugly head in the USA again and being a promoter, Travis Corley is constantly dealing with this city of STL and surrounding areas to try and put on shows. He has one coming up at Red Flag on Nov. 28th but it's all still up in the air on the protocols and how things will be received. The guys discuss the current re-emerging of COVID and if this time the US can stomp it out...this leads to a convo about Trumps Million MAGA march and how he views the "voters" and "supporters" of his situation. 

All this and much more on this episode of The Q.

The Q - 460 - The Holdout The Q - 460 - The Holdout Mon, 16 Nov 2020 20:42:47 +0000 Voter Fraud is the number thing on the "holdouts" mind currently. The Holdout being Donald Trump and his inability to get any lawsuits or things to go his way regarding the frivolous claims about the 2020 election being rigged or having fraudulent voting. 

Gary Weed joins on this down week to discuss the presidents claims to Voter Fraud, and lines out with Mark Bland how Trump is actually responsible for all his problems he has had regarding this election. It's a classic example of a guy shooting himself in the foot and blaming others. 

Also Mark and Gary discuss some sports and specifically how the Houston Astros former manager and the Red Sox former manager were able to get jobs in the MLB after the massive cheating scandal that they got caught in. 

All this and much much more available on this episode of the Q!

Who you got. We are gonna find out if the country becomes worse or better Election night 2020. But the Q is here to talk about all of it. 

First up Mike Eise is our guest on this show. He's a bracelet winning World Series of Poker champion based here in St. Louis, MO.  He's also a fellow broadcaster with some background being on other shows in the St. Louis area discussing poker. But we aren't discussing poker this time. We talking politics and life. To do this we also welcome back to the show, our favorite LIBERAL Andy Echele (we kid, we kid).

It's been a very long road to this time period. For 4 years it's been rough and the guys sit back and discuss Biden and Trump. The good and the bad....who will win this, we aren't sure. But for the third time in Q show history the guys will choose who they think will win and how it end up afterwards. Are they gonna be as accurate as Mark was in 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2018? 4 out of 5 ain't too shabby. 

First up Andy decides to let everyone know he's way way way more liberal than Mark is. Which is weird since Andy forgot that this is recorded audio for posterity and people can go back and listen to any show he's been on. But Mark play's along to keep the natives from being restless. 

Mark and the boys discuss old things others might have forgotten from our past. Andy brings up Biden and complaining about the republicans were the reason he couldn't do anything. Mark reminds everyone of the republican decree after the 2012 election and how in 2013/2014 the country ended up being shut down for a month because of republicans stomping their foot and whining about the budget.  Mark also reminds everyone of the deficit and how nobody has talked about it for 4 years, but if Biden wins, it's time to break that old argument out. 

There is so much discussion in this show and we are the precipice of a historic situation. Not because of the winner or loser. But simply because of the anger of the republicans and there need and want to be like Kenosha Kyle and hurt others purposefully. It's become their bell to ring. Will it happen....we don't know but we talk a lot in this final episode of the Q before/after the National Election of 2020!

Next up Ricky and Mark talk about Ricky and some of his pointed shots in the business. There is always method to the madness and Mark reaches into the social media world to ask Ricky his opinion on certain business dealings end even joins in discussing what is needed and not needed from their points of view.

There is always method to the madness and Mark reaches into the social media world to ask Ricky his opinion on certain business dealings end even joins in discussing what is needed and not needed from their points of view.  Finally, Mark decides to get to know Ricky a little more. A little background into the man and the myth. Mark rattles off some questions until they get to who the best pound for pound worker in the Prowrestling industry is. Could be Keith Lee or Omega.

Finally, Jonathan has come on the show before and claimed Werewolves are real and this leads Mark to ask about things like Bloody Mary in the dark mirror and other things of the supernatural.

First up, Mark discusses tacos and their taste with both gentlemen when Gary starts to promote a local Mexican restaurant and Mark has to correct him. Some places are just better than others and it is subjective...but good is good. 

Next the guys discuss Whats been going on with Trump and the administration. Mark explains that it's not about politics anymore. It's about attitudes and just being a A-hole if you are calling yourself a republican. And they are being that way, which is why it was brought up. Mark has talked up staereotypes on the show before and in this case he tries to bring the topic to a head with both guests.

This leads to a discussion about the new book called RAGE from Bob Woodward. Trump announces he didn't care about the pandemic and played it down, tried not to let it out. An interesting discussion, to say the least, follows this topic.

Finally a little discussion about St. Louis County (where the show hales from) and their decision to not allow Fall Sports to happen and most schools are in virtual learning. Are you happy about this and being safe...or are you against it like most STL people and just don't care about your safety or others. Once again the proximity argument arises and the guys figure it out.

Joining us on this fun adventure is none other than Gary Weed, who makes his return after a few weeks. And then later we turn to a discussion about ARCH DEV OPS and one of their founders named Michael Fritzius aka Fritz! 

First up Mark and Gary break down relationships and how people should end them with each other. Both gentlemen have been dealing with people who are getting broken up during coronavirus and this goes into a bigger discussion of what is the proper way to break up when you're older. Or anytime for that matter.

Next, Mark and Gary breakdown and discuss the RNC and DNC conventions independently. This leads into a discussion about the midwest and what different sections of the country are depending on where you live and how you view them. This of course runs down the path of voting and Mark and Gary start talking about the election itself and how it should be handled in 2020.

Finally Gary is back into his I LOVE THE XFL and anything MARK SAYS is just WRONG! Well Mark and Gary discuss the XFL and it's new owner but more importantly mark calling that the XFL reboot would fail (doesn't matter how, because other sports are still going).

Next up is Michael Fritzius and he comes by to discuss his company Arch Dev Ops and the kind of things that they are involved with and how they can help businesses during the Coronavirus Pandemic. 

Mark asks Fritz about the Kenosha Killer named Kyle Rittenhouse and then explains the entire story to Fritz who is none the wiser. This is because Fritz is a self admitted NERD. So Mark had to investigate.

Mark and Fritz start talking about Nerd things and his homelife. Mark wants to break down what Fritz is working with and starts discussing his children and his relationship with his wife. 

Finally the guys nerd out and Mark puts Fritz through the Hot Seat and allows his inner nerd to join with Fritz as they argue and discuss Buck Rogers, Mark meeting a Dr. Who and Fritz's favorite TV shows and movies. 

So worth the wait.

People are on edge. Trump and the republicans choose to keep ignoring the Black Live Matter people and eventually someone gonna have to draw a line and play the "don't step over that line or else game". 

Trump feels protected by the military, but BLM is deeper than some punk kids causing issues on the street and the liberals are gonna have to stand up to this man and his promoting of LEO in the face of what is happening in the country.

Jonathan May joins us on this show to discuss the Jacob Blake and Kyle Rittenhouse situations. Jacob Blake was shot in the back by Kenosha police after they were called to a disturbance that Blake was involved with in Kenosha Wisconsin.  Jonathan and Mark discuss the situation and surrounding reasons. 

This leads to the discussion about Kyle Rittenhouse. A 17 yr old boy that drove with an AR-15 to Kenosha where people are protesting the Blake shooting. When he arrives he links up with people he knew from a FACEBOOK group and they were there to Protect the people and businesses. It was his "job" he told someone before the shooting started.  Rittenhouse then gets into his own melee with people where he shoots and kills 2 people and wounds another one badly. 

Conservatives have been GLEEFUL with Rittenhouse and have claimed Self Defense. He was arrested for Intentional Homicide which is not "self defense". 

Mark and Jonathan discuss all of this in glorious detail on this new episode of The Q!

(understand this was recorded before other pieces of info came out so the guys went with what they knew at the time)

She is the pick for the VP slot of Joe Biden's campaign. She is educated and smart. Sticks by her guns and easy on the eyes. But is she who the Liberal's should have focused on. 

Well welcome to this episode of the Q. Joining to discuss the Kamala Harris decision is none other than Jason Kull our resident hardcore liberal and definitely not a Trump guy. But also joining the show is a young man and professional disc golfer named Michael Sherman who came through to discuss video games and an event he has coming up. 

But first the guys touch on Michael and Mark's relationship and how they became connected. This leads to some fun discussion about a recent Twitter thing that Mark had to deal with (1000 times a day).  But then comes the real fun. Mark and Jason break down the Trump situation and the Biden situation. Who is good and who is bad. What is important and what's just not important. Sit back and enjoy as you find out if Kamala Harris helps or hurts Joe Biden.

Next Michael Sherman and the guys dive in head first to the world of video games. Michael plays a fun game called VALORANT online and they have a huge Labor Day weekend tournament coming up. They are trying to put together a league of people that like the game and their first major Scuffed Streamer Series is happening August 28-29. Each streamer gets 4 viewers to sit beside them as they play and showcase their talents and why they are the best VALORANT competitor in the world. 

This leads to a discussion about the video game industry currently and the people that have become ROCKSTARS online for their streaming efforts. The guys discuss Dr. Disrespect, Tyler 1 and of course Ninja. Plus they dive into some backgrounds on gaming and how Mark and Jason being older don't always connect up with the younger video game set.

Finally a new guest and new game of The Hot Seat. Michael goes through the 5 questions and we figure out whats the best single guy/loner food that's cheap to make and you always like the taste. Plus much more. All this on the new Q.

The Q - 450 - Live YOUR Truth The Q - 450 - Live YOUR Truth Thu, 06 Aug 2020 20:14:13 +0000 Welcome to another one....Mark Bland and guest Gary Weed take you on another trip through the political landscape and talk the biggest stories of the week. 

First up, Trump trying to grab the voters with his big Executive Orders to cut drug prices down.  Executive Orders are usually immediate and your prices should come down now....but are they? No. Trump is CAMPAIGNING. We've talked about this on the show before. Conservatives will say anything for a vote. Trump included. Mark and Gary breakdown their thoughts on these decisions.

Next, Gary goes off script and talks about Joe Biden NOT BEING a good choice for President of the USA. Why, you ask? Well listen to the show and find out why Gary feels this way!

Your TRUTH is next up. Gary and Mark start talking about people and situations where the words "your truth" are invoked. Usually these are people that just want to live outside of normal everyday reality. They have their own "Truth"....aka beliefs. Are their "truth's" valuable to anyone other than themselves...nope. But Mark and Gary discuss these types of people. 

Finally Mark and Gary take on some questions and this brings up the discussion about the Lady who sued McDonalds for spilling coffee on her lap back in the 80s/90s....but there is more to that story than you might know. Tune in and find out!

Because of this it has been extremely difficult to procure certain products that businesses in the USA need. 

In comes The Product Plug and Alex Elias! Alex works over the top of a team of people at The Product Plug to get PPE's and other COVID related things to the US market so the people can protect themselves. Alex discusses his business and the relationship with China since Trump imposed Tariffs and other financial penalties for businesses in China to operate with the USA.

This leads into a discussion about Trump and the current state of the world. How he is being divisive on purpose to create problems for the people of the USA rather than leading them and sitting down with them to discuss their issues and working on a solution.

Alex decides story time is needed to expound on a point that Mark brings up in the show about stereotypes. Alex discusses a project where stereotypes were used to warn someone of bad things...was the warning needed or not? Listen and find out.

Fianlly Mark and Alex discuss these confederate monuments and the way republicans and conservative fawn over them for the weirdest reasons....why would you want your Heritage to be "We are the best LOSERS of a WAR...Second Place is our thing!"

All this and much much more on this episode of The Q!

This man has taken the hip hop scene by storm and his song Propane has propelled him to Regional and National Success working with other hip hop legends and even remixing Propane with Lil Flip for good measure.

Worth the listen alone.

The last episode was called Police Brutality...but on the heels of the George Floyd situation, a gentleman named Rayshard Brooks was found sleeping in a drive thru at a Wendy's, in Atlanta. Mr. Brooks life ended that night after a scuffle with police. The death of Brooks sent shockwaves through the country while many were already protesting police brutality. But was this a case of police brutality and murder? 

Jonathan May and Mark are not afraid to discuss the deep topics and they sit down to talk about both situations further and discuss the merits of police brutality, while discussing the contrast between the two situations. 

This is a deep discussion. There are things said that might make some people angry. But these have to be discussed at the levels Mark and Jonathan discuss them or else we will never get to the deepest issues between white culture and black culture and how to fix them. 

Sit back and enjoy. Remember this is a discussion with no pulled punches. It's stark and direct. It's designed to make you think.

The Q - 445 - Police Brutality 2.0 The Q - 445 - Police Brutality 2.0 Thu, 04 Jun 2020 21:21:45 +0000 When the Ferguson situation of 2014 lead to all these protests and anger about police brutality we made some of the best episodes of the Q possible.  But we never wanted to see this stuff happening again and we thought things had gotten more noticeable and by virtue, better. 

On this episode of the Q, we discuss the George Floyd police death and how it should be viewed in culture. This all comes on the heels of the Ahmaud Arbery shooting where he was jogging and gunned down after people chased and basically "lynched" him in the street.

Mark gets into online discussions and the Floyd killing was being presented as a lynching to Mark. Mark and his guests Jonathan May and Gary Weed weigh in on the deep issue and discuss what is and is not to be considered "lynching". This also leads to more discussion on the Police Brutality debate of 2014. So the guys pick up where those shows left off and discuss the newest round police issues that are popping up. 

Covid-19 aka Coronavirus is still hammering the USA and with these new protests, the question is Will more people be getting the virus and getting sick? Should the protest be happening with this virus still out there? And what is the thought process of people that jump back in....the guys discuss.

Finally, Mark takes some questions and has Jonthan and Gary weigh in on them. One leads to discussing movies and specifically a movie from the past called Gravity. Mark and Jonathan get into a discussion regarding the filming of the movie....take a listen. You don't want to miss this episode of the Q!

With everyone in lockdown mode because of CoronaVirus, these guys ain't been getting out much.  First We catch up with these talented men to find out what they have been up to and doing during the stay at home stuff.

Someone mentions "essential workers" and start to talk about the monies and stimulus that have been put out by the governement including that unemployment check. This leads to talking about going back to work and if people are ready to settle back in.

Finally, Mark reads some fan mail and letters to the q while also asking some questions of the guest. Whats the Worst injury they have ever had? Who's is better Alterbridge or Creed? Why did ATA go on hiatus and when is it coming back? Some important questions that need to be answered!

First up...The men discuss Donald Trump and how he has handled the virus. Gary and Mark are on the same page regarding it because, well, it only makes sense at this point. He has attacked the governors and everyone else trying to skirt blame for reacting so slowly. Mark wonders why there hasn't been any attempts on the heads of world leaders in the past 30 years. 

People are Rallying against the stay at home orders in throughout the USA and the guys discuss. Why would you put yourself at risk and it's obvious nobody at the rallies is adhering to social distancing. Also there are other things falling apart during this pandemic and sports teams are not exempt from the fallout. Th XFL folds and they discuss the ramifications of this happening.

Finally Gary and Mark discuss the OTHER HEROES of this COVID situation. Doctors and nurses, LEO and Military are all getting the pats on the backs for dealing with this virus situation. But the country is technically shut down and tons with no jobs, yet some are still working. They are still putting their lives on the line to bag your groceries, or deliver those groceries. These are the OTHER HEROES people are not talking about. Mark and Gary give their two cents on this.

The Q - 441 - Some Talk Soup The Q - 441 - Some Talk Soup Sat, 18 Apr 2020 18:46:15 +0000 Ever watch Talk Soup? It was a popular daily talk show like the Daily Show but on the E! network for a long time. This weeks guest was a long time host for that show and has starred in some impressive films throughout his career. First up on the show this week is Hal Sparks. 

Hal comes in via Zoom/Skype to discuss the current status of our country during this COVID 19 stuff. Hal Sparks hosts his own political radio show out of Chicago (WCPT) for quite a few years and he brings that background an research to the table to discuss whats going on nationally. Hal discusses the Russian aspect of this virus and how China reacted. How will the unemployed people of the country handle this COVID and how will the system handle the overbearing pressure of the sheer unemployment numbers. The two men go round and round discussing their progressive thoughts and ideas. 

​Next up is Andrew Glantz and his upstart company called "Gift a Meal". The point of gift a meal is that they partner with food places and restaurants to guarantee some of the profit goes to buying a meal for someone in need. They work out of St. Louis with the local area Foodbanks to buy a meal through the Foodbank to donate to someone who needs it. It's incredibly needed during this pandemic with so many people who are employed normally to know where their next meal is coming from. The people in desperate need of their meal can thank organizations like Gift a Meal for existing. We discuss the business model and little more with their head honcho Andrew Glantz.

The whole world is on High ALERT! Fox News can't keep their WARNING logo off the screen at this moment because the CoronaVirus is on it's way to bring plague and famine and locusts.

Mark's been playing this game in STL for 20+ years. These others though, they get their careers handed to them and they are not worth the money they are being paid. 

Jonathan May and Gary Weed join to discuss all the great things happening in the world. First up, Rob Blagojevich gets pardoned by the President of the USA. When interviewed he calls himself a 'Trump-O-Crat" and Mark breaks down why this is stupid and what he's attempting to do. This breaks down to what republicans try to constantly do. 

The USA is the king of the world. How the rest of the world views us and why they should view us that way is important. Mark, Gary and Jonathan discus the position as KING of the world and what that means from our point of view and everyone else's point of view. 

Finally, Mark and the guys decide to take some questions from the listeners and break them down for the people. Gary tries saying things he's not allowed. Mark discusses more Black History Month with Jonathan (which is always exciting) and the men finally get world peace figured out. What an amazing episode.

Race immediately gets brought up as the guys discuss the Ferguson and Trayvon Martin situations, Trump being elected as well as some fun things that happened in that decade. This also goes down a road where Gary thinks some words should be as bad to hear as the N-word and everyone discusses.

Next the show switches gears to discuss the current affairs in the USA and what is going on. The President is still dealing with Impeachment and it's not getting better at all. Mark explains how the democrats dropped the ball on this impeachment and how it's not looking like it will work out well for them. This turns to Mark asking "Could Civil War happen at this point?"  Will it or won't it. Country is definitely divided and wanting to tussle it up a bit, but will it happen.

Finally all new guests on the show have to go through our little obstacle course that we like to call "The Hot Seat". Marzo is on for the first time, so he is fielding random questions he did not know about. You get a chance to break down that artist facade and learn a little bit about the guy behind the magic. And we learn Marzo needs to watch more TV...he's horribly lacking in knowledge of popular shows...LOL. 

All this and much more on the Q!

Facebook: MARZO Twitter: @itsmarzo The Q - 428 - End of a Decade The Q - 428 - End of a Decade Mon, 23 Dec 2019 22:00:18 +0000 Mark the host of the show has spent the entire decade spilling his heart and thoughts into the Q show and trying to bring some semblance of morals and thought to the political things he says and puts out. With that, we go into the 2020's ending on the most important discussion of the show's history...The impeachment of Donald J. Trump 45th President of the USA. 

As this show was ramping up, the House decided to vote and Impeach the 45th president of the USA. This has been talked about for weeks and weeks. Debated for weeks  and months. It's a very serious and sensitive subject, but also a huge change to the way the President is viewed worldwide and by other foreign leaders.  Mark is joined to discuss all of this by Brandon Travis (our verified high flyer and resident thrill seeker) and Owner of Take A Hike Bike Shop, Joe Russell.

First up, Mark and the guys discuss being thrill seekers and how they connect and become acquainted with each other. This leads directly into impeachment talk. Joe and Brandon not being deeply ingrained in national politics discuss why Trump is in the position he is in. Mark illuminates other aspects and the gentlemen discuss their opinions about Trump and this impeachment that is ACTUALLY happening.  Including the way the debates went defending Trump with crazy Pontius Pilot talk and other things. 

This leads to discussion of False Flag operations and some conspiracy theories that Brandon wants to discuss. Mark points out to the men that being conspiratorial is technically anti-american in it's normal stance. Mark must defend his remarks but it all comes back to Trump not even having his cabinet full three years into his presidency. 

Finally, and on the last one of this decade, Joe Russell of Take a Hike Bike shop jumps on the HOTSEAT to discuss all the questions Mark and Brandon pose to him. This leads down a road discussing the past decade and the favorite moment in the past 10 years for Joe and Brandon. This open another pandora's box and the guys talk about life and the strange places it takes you when viewing such huge chunks of your past. 

From everyone at the Q...Joe Russell and Brandon Travis...and to all of you and your families...Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We are gonna finish off the decade in Style and bring in the New Roaring 20's. Thank you 2010's for being amazing to The Q and all the friends/fans we made in the past decade. We look forward to doing it great for another decade too!

Mark starts by checking into the music background of Patrick and early growing up in St. Louis County. This leads to a interesting discussion of the best shows the guys ever seen at clubs in St. Louis or even at all. 

Mark then changes the focus to music and culture. Ferguson shows up in the convo and Patrick discusses how his day went the day the Michael Brown incident happened. Which leads to stories from Jonathan and Mark.  This tuns to talk of the Beach Boys and how black culture views white crossover artists and which ones have been taken in by black culture.

Then the talk switches to the Golden Globes and specifically Mark wants to discuss if Tom Hanks playing Mr. Rogers is a SUPPORTING ROLE. He's nominated for Supporting Actor in a movie and not as the Lead Actor. This brings up some great movies and which ones you should watch for or see.

Finally, Mark turns the topic to impeachment and Trump and where he is at at this current point. Jonathan May comes up witha genius way to explain Trump to people that might not get how the man operates. But sadly, that is the end of our show...due to technical difficulties, the last 20 minutes of the show did not record and therefore must bid you adieu at that point. But we will work the kink out and be back to fresh next week!

Parental Guidance is SUGGESTED HEAVILY! 

NOBODY HAD HURT FEELINGS IN THE MAKING OF THIS! NOBODY!

On this episode of the Q, Marcus and Cecil of The Soulardians podcast joined Mark to discuss their show and everything else in their world. 

First up Mark and the guys discuss their political positions. Cecil focuses much more heavily on the local STL scene when dealing with Politics, where Marcus doesn't put it out there all that much.
From there, the guys discuss Candace Owens and her new push to be Anti-Vax and tell people something special about HPV. Find out what our friend Candace said....

Next, Mark and Cecil start talking about conspiracy theory and podcasting. Of course Rogan comes up and it's so easy to say his name and " You're listening to Rogan!" So Mark gets a unique idea to try and see how it works. Probably will fail, but oh well.

This finally leads to a discussion about the new Marijuana Laws and how Joe Biden and Bloomberg and all the different people are kinda spinning their support for and against the drug as it becomes a larger national focus. Finally, Mark puts The Soulardians on the HOTSEAT! They answer the questions and we all enjoy an interesting cultural discussion that pops up.

Next up is Trump and this impeachment inquiry that has moved into the interview stages in front of Congress. Everyday is a thousand tweets of how he's not the bad guy, but every interview uncovers new crazy things Trump did that were definitely not on the up and up. Where is this all going? The guys aren't sure but they discussed it with Brett! 

Finally, It's time for our guest to be on the HOT SEAT. 5 Questions they have no clue is coming and they gotta stay on their toes to answer them. There is no wrong answers, but Brett's first question is "CAKE OR PIE?" This alone could cause a ruckus. See if it did on this episode of The Q!

The Q - 422 - Playing Politics The Q - 422 - Playing Politics Mon, 04 Nov 2019 21:10:52 +0000 Matthew Krueger rejoins the cast of Mark Bland and Gary Weed for the first time in quite some while. Welcomed back in true past co-host fashion, Matt brings his conservative flavor to the Q for this episode. 

Politics is a dangerous game. There are many ways to lose when playing politics on a national scale. Trump is embroiled in this Impeachment Inquiry and needs to pivot properly if he is going to weather this storm.  Mark and the guys discuss this impeachment and how it is being used against Trump currently. With no end in sight, it seems Mark may be right about the reasoning for doing this at all.

But people are not paying attention...how will weathering this storm of impeachment help Trump potentially. Because if he doesn't get booted from office...well that lends a ton of credibility to the conservative argument that it is all BS and made crap to take Trump down a level. 

This and much more is discussed on this new and exciting episode of the Q.

Gary Weed and Travis Corley of Agitate the Airwaves join Mark to discuss these moments of lapse in common sense across our great nation.

First up, Mark talks to Travis about being a promoter and how good he is at what he does on a weekly basis. This quickly switches to Marks new section of the show called "What dumb thing has Trump done this week!" 

Donald Trump decided to take the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution and explain that it is PHONY and FAKE. Which is weird since the clause was put into the document by Republican President James Madison.  So even Trump doesn't like republican rules in the constitution. Trump also made a comment about Colorado getting a "Big Beautiful New Wall" to protect it's borders. Trump is so out of it that he doesn't realize that Colorado is not a border state. Mark explains that this is just gonna get worse...and Mark's pre-election claim of early onset Dementia is becoming a little more accurate as we get deeper into this presidency.

Finally the guys discuss a little Halloween stuff and talk about their favorite horror movies from the past 5 years. Find out who they recommend you watch to scare yourself!

Well the president of the USA has just done that. 

Jonathan May and Gary Weed, join Mark Bland to discuss the 36 hour period where Trump went looney and will probably define the majority of his presidency. 

First up, Donald Trump took the world this past week and let everyone know that he is indeed "The Chosen One" as he even looked up at heaven to drive the point home. But this was just one of the many things that happened in this 36 hour period. Trump also retweeted that he was the "King of the Jews" which a radio host called him on their show. Also Trump decided it was a good idea to pull out of the new gun restrictions and heightened background checks bill he was on top of...and he also decided to let all Jewish people know that any who vote liberal are disloyal to their god and bad people in general. So yeah, DONALD TRUMP LOST HIS MARBLES.

On top of that, MTV has decided that the success of Catfish determines that a new show in the same vein needs to happen. Do you know what "ghosting" is? Well the guys break it down and discuss their opinions that MTV is doing a show bringing back people who've been ghosted.

Finally a listener writes a letter explaining that he thinks there should be a secondary Olympics for people who want to use steroids. Like an "all inclusive" Olympics. Mark doesn't seem to have an issue, but it all gets lost in translation because Jonathan takes the position of the parent in life and breaks down why it's a bad idea.

John Harrington of the Midwest Avengers joins the show to discuss his upbringing and forming the group back in the early 1990's. Plus discusses his new music they just released and some thoughts on the business of hip hop. 

First up, Mark breaks down the past with John discussing their mutual time in the St. Louis music business back in the 1990's. Touring and building the fan base. As well as discussing in detail The Point (local STL indie rock station) and how they were launched to success through their single "Bounce" being played on the station. This leads to a discussion on pay to play in the past and how it worked back in the day.

Next up, Mark and the guys take on Jeffrey Epstein's death by suicide in a suicide watch cell. How did this happen? Is there a conspiracy? And the original autopsy came back inconclusive (since then they found broken neck bones...strangulation).  Jon and Mark start chopping it up about Conspiracies and whether they serve a purpose or not. 

Finally Mark and Gary fire up the HOTSEAT and put John square in the middle of it. Among many things talked about, Jon tells Mark what his favorite time of his life was. I bet you can't even fathom to guess what it was. Well tune in and listen to find out this and so much more!

Two incredibly different shootings with differing purposes, but both claim that politics and our discourse as a nation fueled their rage. Whether it was disenchantment with the system in Dayton, Ohio...or it was fueled by bigotry and xenophobia in El Paso, TX....both area's are reeling from the damage done by the two ignorant and jerk shooters. This leads to the main discussion of if Trump bares any responsibility in these shootings because of his attitude and words he's used to play to his fan base.

This leads into Bobby giving some of his beliefs live on the show and discussing them with Brandon and Mark. First up, Abortion. Bobby gives his stance on abortion and everyone gets into talking about how long you as a parent should have to til you are stuck with raising the baby. Next up was GUNS. Producer Bobby believes that guns are important to protecting yourself in the USA. This leads to discussion about confiscating guns. In russia, they only shoot rubber bullets. 

Finally, it seems the boy scouts are not such good guys after all. New documents presented in court this past week show that the boy scouts, similar to the catholic churches they hold meetings at, have been holding back the names of hundreds of leaders over the years that were caught molesting children. This is a travesty of mass proportions and also opened up some memories from my past with boy scouts and my stories about thinking leaders were creepy. 

It's an exciting week on this episode of the Q!

First up, Mark is not happy with President of the USA saying some rather passive aggressive racial things towards some congresswomen. Trump turns his racial anger against Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and lets them know that they need to go back to their "own country" and leave the USA. Weirdly, AOC is a New York/Jersey Girl like him and would only be returning to the Brooklyn, NY. But that's why Mark is all heated. He knows that Trump knows that...Trump is trying to be racist in the most effective way he can in such a high profile position. It's completely about skin color and being an a--hole. Mark and Brandon discuss this and how it is racist.

Race stays on the table as Mark then switches to actor Chris Pratt wearing the Gadsden Flag shirt and he explains how there is a racial connection to it from the Tea Party and their decisions to make the flag their own in 2009. After this, Mark switches the discussion to Netflix's new prices and the reason for the prices. If a company ever wanted to throw their clients under a bus, Reed Hastings did just that and explained the reason for the new pricing structure. Find out why Netflix is raising their prices and why these two men are livid.

Finally, Mark and Brandon take on some more questions from the listeners and discuss once again if a person is the jerk in a situation or not! 

Enjoy all this and more on the new Q!

The Q - 410 - Agitate the Airwaves The Q - 410 - Agitate the Airwaves Thu, 11 Jul 2019 20:56:48 +0000 On this episode of the Q, Travis Corley of Agitate the Airwaves joins to discuss all the happenings with his company and life in the St. Louis area. Plus they decide to avoid discussing politics for the show.

First up, Mark and Travis start to discuss people that are always happy. How do you respond to someone constantly happy? There is no way that a human can be happy 100% of the time, yet we run into these people in life and their happiness rubs off on others.

Next up is a hodge podge. Mark and Travis discuss Mark's recent trip to Six Flags St. Louis and how disappointed he was with the park and the staffing and all of it. Banking off their discussion of Warped Tour, Mark provides detail of what it's like to charge hundreds of dollars to get into the park and then offer up less and worse service considering that enormous price.  This leads to a discussion about music and movies that spans multiple genres and styles. It's a really fun talk about everything and too much to post in the info.

Finally Mark and Travis try to figure out two problems:

1. Why Travis is being attacked for not nominating certain people for the Agitate the Airwaves Awards?

2. Is this boyfriend an Jerk for going to dinner and not paying a bill? You gotta hear the story to understand. 

All this and much more on this episode of the Q!

That Celebrating lead to Mark's favorite old school Hockey player, Brett Hull, coming back to party with his first love and team. Brett was, let's say a little altered in his happiness...but that's okay when celebrating. Then Gary brings up some stories he wants to talk about including one about parents fighting at another little league baseball game. Mark gets unhappy when hearing these stories and the two discuss what should and can be done to fix this issue that pops up too much now days.  Finally Mark put out the search for some people that have stories where they could be the bad guy in the situation. Mark and Gary discuss the various people and if they are indeed the problem child or not. Take a listen and find out what the people did and break it down with your two hosts. The Q - 407 - Big Words The Q - 407 - Big Words Thu, 06 Jun 2019 16:49:36 +0000 Big Words....that's what we have on this episode of the Q. Mark starts saying them, Gary Weed starts saying them and Brandon Travis start's to use them also. 

First up, Mark discusses some things in his life that aren't all that important or worthy to discuss, but he wants to talk a bit. One of those things is that the Blues are in the Stanley Cup finals and Mark decided to go and make what many are calling an "abomination".  Mark is a Flyers fan and a former Blues fan, but Mark like's hockey and he wanted to promote the Blues but in a way that was his own. Well he made it his own and boy did it turn out (See picture of show cover).

Next up Mark starts doing some letters from the listeners and one strikes off on a rant which hasn't been on the show in a while now. Mark realizes one letter is sacrilege and decides to focus on this. Strangely connected to cereal and oreo's, Mark and the guys discuss this rant and if it warranted or not. 

Finally the guys start talking about government and TAXATION....Many say Taxation is theft, but that's not true since you willingly sign away to let the government take from you. But maybe, just maybe, we are taxed too much. Every single place in your town that you use, taxes you. Everything you buy or use get's taxed more because everyone wanted to be in the same boat as opposed to letting that FREE MARKET dictate their success with taxation. Can't leave money making up to the gods. Mark, Gary and Brandon discuss the government and taxation. See if you agree!

All this and much more on this episode of the Q! Bing Bong yo! Enjoy.

It seems that a few states decided to go through (outta the blue) with more stringent abortion bans in their state legislatures. More men telling women how and what they should do with their PRIVATE PARTS. Well this shouldn't sit well with many and Brandon Travis makes his long awaited return to the show to discuss this and many other things. 

Brandon has been away for a while, serving time for his transgressions in life. Mark and Brandon start off talking about Trump and his need to start Wars with Iran for no reason. But that point Brandon asks the most important question...why is Trump doing this? Mark has an answer for him, see if you agree.

Brandon and Mark then get into talking about Brandon's time away and how he handled the pressure. He was sent to the hole for a few weeks and Mark wants to know how that affects the mind of a man stuck in that situation. This leads to Brandon discussing the reasons for why he got into the trouble and along with it comes the stories of fighting to survive in a hell hole. Brandon talks about the fights he was in and why he followed through.

Finally Mark and Brandon discuss some letters from the listeners. One person specifically brings up the idea of COSPLAY and how we view it as dressing up like Halloween. But we should be allowed to be any race and dress as another to pay homage. So should costumes that are inherently non judgmental or non-racist (nefarious purpose)be allowed? The men discuss.

Enjoy this episode of the Q...Hopefully it opens your mind and makes you think.

The Q - 404 - Error The Q - 404 - Error Thu, 09 May 2019 16:35:43 +0000 Have you ever wondered where we come from? What was here before the big bang and stuff of that level?  All these questions and more get discussed on this episode of the Q. 

Jonathan May makes his return to the airwaves to discuss the William Barr debacle that has been the focus of the nation for a week. William Barr, the Attorney General, didn't want to go to the House Judiciary Committee investigation into the Mueller Report.  So he just didn't show up. Which for anyone else in the country would be contempt of court and a fine/possibly jail time.  But not for Trump's #1 lawyer in the country. Nope, he's allowed to do whatever he wants because in Trumps head it is about fame and popularity. 

Mark then reads some posts from his past and others, just to gauge where their heads are at. One female poses the question about our consciousness and mental where-with-all.  This brings Mark around to having Jonathan help him figure out what happened or existed before the Big Bang. Before the advent of time as we know it, did something physical just appear out of nothing. How did that happen.

This finally leads to Mark and Jonathan reading some letters from the listeners, including one letter that made Mark discuss and question the future of the Q. Seems as though politics has pushed many people away from focusing on it. Mark tries to figure out if the Q needs a change!

All this and much more on this new episode of the Q!

The Q - 403 - Name Game The Q - 403 - Name Game Thu, 02 May 2019 17:51:07 +0000 Gary Weed and Mark Bland sit down to discuss the William Barr testimony in front of Congress. Attorney General Barr was the man to release the summary report of the Mueller investigation, but Robert Mueller himself stated that Barr was not honest in his assessment. Well Congress got their blood all boiling and ready to take it to Barr, and they kinda did.

Barr was asked by Kamala Harris about his investigation into the summary report. When he explained that he didn't actually read the summary report and released his findings without reading it, that was a clue to the people of the US that Barr is in the pocket of Trump. Unlike Sessions, it seems Barr is willing to go down with the ship. Will this work out for him or not? The guys discuss.

This all works its way around to discussing the names of people, especially US Presidents. Have you ever noticed that Presidents names always sound very authentic and usually have three or four names in total....William Jefferson Clinton or George Herbert Walker Bush.  Very stoic names that are associated with that office. Mark and Gary discuss the names and other names that stick out in life.

Finally, Mark and Gary take some letters from listeners and and boy do they have some doozies. Should we reprimand pregnant women that smoke cannabis publicly? Should movie Villains win more often? And why does Gary not watch Game of Thrones? All this and much more on this episode of the Q.

The Q - 402 - You Can't Say That The Q - 402 - You Can't Say That Thu, 18 Apr 2019 20:23:36 +0000 On the heels of their big 4:20 show, Jonathan May and Mark Bland welcome Comedian and co-conspirator Jon Maddy to the show. Jon a welcomed guest from the past gets a real taste of what being around Mark and Jonathan May is like. And by the looks on his face, it was interesting to say the least.

First up the guys discuss Robert Kraft and his need to get hot prostitutes to so sexual things for him. Mark ask's if guys like Kraft are too Famous and well known, to the point that their fame overshadows their misdeeds. This leads to the craziest thing Mark has ever heard come out of Jonathan's mouth, "Olympus has Fallen is a great film". Mark argues that nothing about it is good and Maddy plays referee to the situation. Mark even feels so horribly about the movie that he confuses it with another movie claiming the sequel had different people...he was wrong it did not. 

Then the show everyone is talking about is Game of Thrones. Mark and May decide to discuss the first episode of the new season with the blessing of Maddy. SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW are in this episode so I would recommend skipping 5-7 minutes of you don't want it ruined for you.

Finally, Mark brings up a discussion with Jonathan and Jon about a conversation discussing why other cultures than Black culture are not allowed to say the N-word. Mark argues that it's kept alive by Black culture using it so frequently in slang and if they stopped the word would probably be viewed much more negatively as whole. Jonathan argues the right to say it because history dictates the culture taking the word back and not allowing others to use it. the convo gets deep and intense...take a listen and see where they finally come to a conclusion.

SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW are in this episode so I would recommend skipping 5-7 minutes of you don't want it ruined for you. Finally, Mark brings up a discussion with Jonathan and Jon about a conversation discussing why other cultures than Black culture are not allowed to say the N-word. Mark argues that it's kept alive by Black culture using it so frequently in slang and if they stopped the word would probably be viewed much more negatively as whole. Jonathan argues the right to say it because history dictates the culture taking the word back and not allowing others to use it. the convo gets deep and intense...take a listen and see where they finally come to a conclusion.

Wrestlemania 35 happened and Mark/Gary have a ton to discuss about it. 

First up...Mark tells Gary he can ask him any question about the business and Mark will be very fair and openly answer the question. So Gary pulls the trigger and Mark attacks the answer like a someone giving a Stone cold Stunner in the middle of the ring!

Next Mark discusses his career and how he comes to becoming a prowrestler. How the job formed in his mind before he becomes a prowrestler. He specifically talks about 1996-1997 in his life and what he decided to try and get into professional wrestling.

Now days anyone can apply and get work wrestling in front of crowds.

Agitate the Airwaves host Travis Corley joins Mark Bland, Jason Kull, Jonathan May and Producer Bobby on this special episode of the Q.

Travis joins Mark and the crew on this episode to discuss his show, it's influence and what he's got coming up in the near future for the people of STL. 

Trump has done it again and saying really weird off the wall type stuff. He explained about not being able to say Orange and he claims his father was born in Germany and not Brooklyn, NY. So just another week in Trump's weird presidency that does nothing. 

Mark brings up some past moments on the show that he fondly remembers along with adding a new one to the list from more recent episodes. Somewhere in the middle of this, Jonathan MAy inserts he has a big package and the show never looks back. Mark does everything to keep the train on the tracks, but hilarity ensues.

Well not Trump himself, but Robert Mueller delivered the long awaited Trump Russian Investigation to William Barr the AG of the US. Barr then put out a 4 page summary explaining what the gist of the findings were. Trump did not collude with Russian regarding the 2016 election. So he is clear. Which is fine. But Mueller also stated that he's not exonerated from anything either. He was basically a wash. 

Now this leads to a discussion about "not being exonerated" and how people should handle the news. Mark also explains about his reaction upon first hearing about it and what he wrote on social media. We have rules we agree to as citizens to aide by. It went through the proper channels and was investigated. If he comes out clean, then he comes out clean. Simple. But this does not exclude Trump from being sued through the states. 

Next we discuss Brexit, how it is working and what we should be focusing on regarding England. Theresa May decides that she will not be Prime Minister anymore if they pass her plan. So the world waits as England took a Trump-esque extreme stance with their voting and didn't have a strategy in place. Now they are in a shit or get off the pot situation and it looks like things will only get worse. Mark discusses making extreme decisions.

Gary explains he's thought about running for office which takes Mark of his tracks and gets him to breaking Gary down for the inevitable vetting. Mark gives some solid advice to Gary for his political aspirations.

Finally the guys discuss some TV shows and movies that they are currently into and Gary says his wife beat him to the punch on a movie...but what movie? Take a listen and find out!

All this and more on the Q!

Jonathan May joins Mark on this amazing journey we call the Q.

First up Mark decides that he needs to explain what being a liberal raised in the Midwest is truly like. Most people think being liberal is a national stance and all Liberals tend to fall from the same tree. But this is not true. Liberals in the Midwest are way more centrist than east/west coast liberals because the Midwest is so conservative, the liberals are raised with a conservative understanding and edge given to them from their parents. Mark and Jonathan discuss.

This leads to question about Police and Jonathan's person views as an ex military police officer. Jonathan has seen both sides of the coin and the question is "Where is your current stance on police." The guys discuss.

Then we get into the goods. Jonathan and Mark both have been asking questions of black and white culture on and offline. The response has been good and Mark has some questions for Jonathan and vice versa. Mark asks a question about the style of hair that people in black culture have. This leads to a convo about words you can and can't say to people in general. Also the pronunciation of words can alter the vibe of the word. The guys discuss these words too.

Finally a letter from a listener that thinks Prisoners are not being used to their potential like they should be. Mark and Jonathan discuss if the listeners stance is the proper stance or not to have. 

All this and much much more on this episode of the Q.

Well the guys discuss this and much more on this new episode of the Q. Jason Kull is back and not happy about Trump calling for more randomly ridiculous "National Emergencies"...but the fun doesn't stop there because Mark invited a friend he grew up with named Steve Richards to show. Steve has been listening for years and stated that he wanted to come guest on the show, so Mark made it happen.

First, Mark and the gents discuss the new national emergencies Trump has been lining to be the boy who cried wolf. None of them are gonna pan out but it won't stop other crazier things from happening. All of this leads to a discussion about the Salem Witch trials and how one of the states has decided to setup new rules making abortion a punishable crime. The guys talk about going through with this and how it would be received here in the USA and across the globe. Also, would sentencing someone to death for having an abortion become the new Salem Witch trials? All this culminates with some talk on the death penalty and where we are at with it mentally in 2019.

Mark then moves on to the Hot Seat since Richards is a new guest to the show. 5 Questions, all random and some discussion is in store. And then Finally, we take some questions from the listeners. Should "retarded" be considered a bad word? Is it already? This and so much more is bantered about on this new episode of the Q!

For all your roofing and home repair needs!Mark BlandDid you know that the pilgrims are technically the founding fathers of our nation and not the dudes from the Revolutionary War that we love to put on our money and hold to the highest regard?  Well the guys discuss this and much more on this new episode of the Q. Jason Kull is back and not happy about Trump calling for more randomly ridiculous "National Emergencies"...but the fun doesn't stop there because Mark invited a friend he grew up with named Steve Richards to show. Steve has been listening for years and stated that he wanted to come guest on the show, so Mark made it happen. First, Mark and the gents discuss the new national emergencies Trump has been lining to be the boy who cried wolf. None of them are gonna pan out but it won't stop other crazier things from happening. All of this leads to a discussion about the Salem Witch trials and how one of the states has decided to setup new rules making abortion a punishable crime. The guys talk about going through with this and how it would be received here in the USA and across the globe. Also, would sentencing someone to death for having an abortion become the new Salem Witch trials? All this culminates with some talk on the death penalty and where we are at with it mentally in 2019. Mark then moves on to the Hot Seat since Richards is a new guest to the show. 5 Questions, all random and some discussion is in store. And then Finally, we take some questions from the listeners.

The Q - 396 - Grand Trivia Master The Q - 396 - Grand Trivia Master Thu, 07 Mar 2019 15:40:33 +0000 Who is the Grand Trivia Master of the Q?  Well we set to find that out on this episode of the Q. Gary Weed, Producer Bobby and Jonathan May join to discuss a couple of topics before we get down to the brass tacks.

First up...R. Kelly and Michael Jackson have been hit heavily lately in the media.  Kelly is fighting for his freedom after being accused of once again talking to and sexually abusing underage females. This is the same thing he was accused of a few years ago with the "pee on her" video tape that surfaced. The new accusations basically make Kelly out to be a forceful and manipulative guy to a host of women. On the heels of that, Michael is back in the news because the kids that didn't come forward originally in the 90's have decided to come forward now on a new documentary that has radio stations pulling Jackson's music. 

This leads to an interesting discussion of NDA (non disclosure agreement) and hush money...and whether the death of one party in the agreement should or should not change the scope of the agreement. Should all rules be forgiven once one party dies in the relationship? Can the person come out after the fact, but also after spending the money they took to be quiet originally?

Finally, after a challenge from Mark to Gary regarding Trivia...Jonathan decided to jump in and we have or first Grand Trivia Master contest. Producer Bobby put together 25 questions and tie breakers (if needed) to decide this first ever champ. All the questions are general in nature. Multiple categories and varied levels of difficulty...Can you keep up with the Q crew? Are you truly a Grand Trivia Master...follow along and find out on this episode of the Q.

Michael Cohen, the former Trump lawyer, hit the stand in front of Congress again to answer questions. The last time he did this, he was caught lying and ended up getting 3 years in jail. So with that hanging above his head, he hit the congressional testimony stand again and boy did he let it fly.

So this week on the Q, after a little break, Jason Kull and Gary Weed jump in to discuss everything with Cohen and what he claimed on the stand. According to Cohen, Trump does very little LEGAL things. Cohen claims he was a virtual enforcer for the President of the USA. He was tapped to send threats to businesses and colleges. He has paid off multiple people for sex and other nefarious activities...BUT...according to Cohen, Trump doesn't have ties to russian collusion as the Mueller report is investigating.  Which is a feather in the cap of Donald Trump.  But that doesn't change the fact that his former lawyer, under oath and serving prison time, decided to throw him completely under the bus. There is no way Trump pardons Cohen at this point. So you know it was all true.

Mark Asks the guys to put together their list of the Top 3 movies that are RE-WATCHABLE. Movies in the same vein as Back to the Future or Shawshank Redemption. Jason and Gary do not disappoint Mark and sit back to hear about some movies that are worth watching over and over again...for a reason.

Finally, Mark sits down with St. Louis commentator and author, John Parker. John talks with Mark a little about Cohen and Trump...but that takes a turn down the road of our great nation and the current cultural and national divide. Why are we divided as people? Also, on the back of his book "Cold Day in August", Parker discusses with Mark the Ferguson situation and it's impact in hindsight. What progress was made? And....Our country is a melting pot and there is a distinct group of people that tend to keep that fire stoked. The two men discuss John's upcoming book and how we should view the country in it's current political and socio-economic stance. Should those fires stay stoked or do we need a reset and a better understanding of each other. 

All this and much more on the Q!

And it's huge because it is the first show since the Super Bowl when Mark and Gary have been face to face. Lot of Trash talking between the two on many previous episodes...but that all was settled with Tom Brady and the Patriots winning the Super bowl....

Which brings us to the first discussion. A new Football league debuted called the AAF. This is the second of what will eventually be 3 different major football leagues including the upcoming XFL. Mark and the guy all took a look at the new league and liked what they saw....but can a third league come into the fray and be able to maintain it's success. That's three full football franchises and we know the NFL is not going to lose out in the end. So Mark asks "Can the country sustain 3 leagues at once."  Find out what everyone says.

Next up Mark discusses the professionalism of organizations in the US that he does business with on a consistent basis. How they should and shouldn't treat people. How companies mess up their brand in the eyes of others and get bad word of mouth. 

Finally the guys discuss some of the stigma of growing up in North County St. Louis. This leads to Mark explaining about the past 20 years of North St. Louis County, specifically Florissant, and where it stands today. Mark grew up there and explains why people have left the area and how it's viewed by people outside of Florissant today.

The Q - 393 - F-U Clap The Q - 393 - F-U Clap Thu, 07 Feb 2019 16:52:16 +0000 So the 2019 State of the Union address came and went. When it was all over, the only thing people remembered was the F-U Clap that Nancy Pelosi directed towards Donald Trump.

With that, Jonathan May and Jason Kull join Mark Bland on this episode of the Q to discuss the State of the Union Address. What everyone took from it, but more importantly, what they thought the current State of the Union looks like from their eyes.

This turns into discussion about people in the USA being their own worst enemies. Making choices and decisions to shoot themselves in the foot constantly. Mark then explains he will shoot himself in the foot and the reaction from Jonathan is not to be missed.

Then the show takes a weird turn. Jason claims that his hometown of Keokuk, Iowa has more to do in it than St. Louis has in it. Of course, Jon and Mark disagree heavily. So it begins...the great city showdown of 2019. This leads to Mark posing the question of how Missouri would react if tomorrow the USA became 50 individual countries. How would Missouri fair in that situation. 

From there things take a turn for the musical as the guys start talking about music artists in the Superbowl and eventually the talk turns to diva's. Who are the great diva's, what makes them diva's....and is there a something that they have to do consistently keeps them in the DIVA spotlight? Also on the discussion because of the Superbowl is Colin Kaepernick. Jonathan and Mark spark up debate on why Colin still is not playing in the NFL.

Finally the talk becomes about people and some of their weird and awkward opinions on Life. So Mark grabs a few opinions and wants to gage the mental standing of Jason and Jonathan. Do you agree with their statements or are they ridiculous....you tell us in the comments below.

All this and much more in this episode of The Q!

Mark then explains he will shoot himself in the foot and the reaction from Jonathan is not to be missed. Then the show takes a weird turn. Jason claims that his hometown of Keokuk, Iowa has more to do in it than St. Louis has in it. Of course, Jon and Mark disagree heavily. So it begins...the great city showdown of 2019. This leads to Mark posing the question of how Missouri would react if tomorrow the USA became 50 individual countries. How would Missouri fair in that situation.  From there things take a turn for the musical as the guys start talking about music artists in the Superbowl and eventually the talk turns to diva's. Who are the great diva's, what makes them diva's....and is there a something that they have to do consistently keeps them in the DIVA spotlight? Also on the discussion because of the Superbowl is Colin Kaepernick. Jonathan and Mark spark up debate on why Colin still is not playing in the NFL. Finally the talk becomes about people and some of their weird and awkward opinions on Life. So Mark grabs a few opinions and wants to gage the mental standing of Jason and Jonathan. Do you agree with their statements or are they ridiculous....you tell us in the comments below. All this and much more in this episode of The Q!  Mark BlandSo the 2019 State of the Union address came and went. When it was all over, the only thing people remembered was the F-U Clap that Nancy Pelosi directed towards Donald Trump. With that, Jonathan May and Jason Kull join Mark Bland on this episode of the Q to discuss the State of the Union Address.

All this and much more in this episode of The Q!   The Q - 392 - Trump's Disaster The Q - 392 - Trump's Disaster Fri, 01 Feb 2019 17:58:15 +0000 The government shutdown is over and Life is returning to normal...Right? Well maybe not so fast. After shutting down the government and PROUDLY ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY, Trump got NOTHING for all the heartache he put thousands and thousands of voters thru. 800,000 went without pay for weeks and weeks. Some started to get trouble from the landlords and others they owe money to.  Also, when he opened it back up, it was only for three weeks.

Jonathan May and Producer Bobby join on the show to discuss this disaster created by Trump and blamed on everyone but Trump (even though he accepted responsibility). Also discussion of Howard Schultz running for president and Roger Stone got arrested in regards to Russian Collusion and connections to Trump. So it's been a hell of a 7 days for Donald Trump. 

But the fun don't stop there...Mark decides that he feels the Star Wars Universe needs to go away. Not a popular idea for many, but Mark explains why the Star Wars universe has gone on too long...which leads to a discussion about the Marvel Universe and whether a similar fate should eventually befall it too!

Finally Bobby bought a book about Would you Rather questions and Jonathan squares off with Mark in a battle of Would you Rather.  All this and much more to entertain your ears on this episode of the Q.

The Q - 391 - Cultural Decorum The Q - 391 - Cultural Decorum Thu, 24 Jan 2019 16:51:37 +0000 Ever been somewhere and people around you start doing something out of the norm to the point of it being uncomfortable? That's a lack of couth and decorum.  Well this week the world decided to go down that path and Jason Patton and Gary Weed join Mark Bland to discuss all of it.

If you haven't been under a rock, you know the story about the kids in MAGA hats getting in the face of a Native American man at a pro-life rally in Washington DC. The story has caught massive attention because of a few things.

1. How the media reported the original incident

2. How the children from Covington High school treated the elder Native man

3. The use of the Trump hat as a sign of the times

4. The discussion of parents and where were the adult supervisors in the situation

Mark and the guys discuss these 4 things as they traverse the world of decorum and where we are as a society in 2019.

ALSO...the LA Rams made it to the Super Bowl against the Patriots and Gary is a huge Rams fan. This led to some online back and forth between Mark and Gary (being on opposite sides of the game) and a GRIEVANCE once again presented itself. Both Mark and Gary have their complaint and they bring it to the table to discuss live on the air. Who was in the right or wrong? Or were neither?  You find out!

Finally, Covington High School, just couldn't get out of their own way. Once the media storm hit, they got caught with video from a basketball game.  This is important because of the MAGA hat and their involvement with something people considered a little off color....well it becomes really off color when the same school from the mass hysteria also seems to have a somewhat racist belief its okay to do blackface, even accentuating the eyes and lips with white makeup like Al jolson did. This wasn't kids making a mistake...this was kids being okay'd by their parents to get away with something the parents knew better about. The guys break all this down and much more on this episode of the Q!

The Q - 390 - Privilege The Q - 390 - Privilege Thu, 17 Jan 2019 16:15:49 +0000 Jonathan May returns to the Q after a long absence.  And a perfect time for the return since Gary Weed, our friend, decides to trot out the White Privilege discussion now that we have a multi-cultural panel to discuss the topic in depth.

Mark starts out by asking Jonathan to explain the definition of white privilege so that he can set a baseline to see how things fall in line with the definition. But alas, Jonathan doesn't have a definition he has the common argument of "It just is that way and because you are the one doing it, you don't realize what it looks like".  

At this point Mark starts to discuss how there are equally as egregious things that happen to other cultures including white people. Mark then decides to hone down on privilege in general. Can a white person who sees a rich person (no matter their race or religion) hold that wealth against them and use it as an argument to complain about the privilege of others. This doesn't go over well with Jonathan....find out why and see the fall out.

Finally the guys do talk about our friend Don Trump and his need to keep the government shut down while stomping his feet like a child. Well the shutdown lead to an amazing White House Dinner for the Clemson Football team, served with "Hamberders" and fast food. Plus the guys touch on R. Kelly and the latest from Soulja Boy! All this and much more on the newest Q!

The Q - 389 - Grievances The Q - 389 - Grievances Sat, 12 Jan 2019 20:22:27 +0000 On this episode of the Q, Mark Bland decides to let the cat out of the bag on a new resolution he has for 2019. He invites Gary Weed to air a grievance with him from facebook...BUT He will invite anyone with legitimate grievances against him on any show to have the floor and discuss what their issue. Whether personal, private, or public...the doors of the Q are open for 2019 and all grievances.

This all comes on the back of another week and Trump whining again and making hardworking government employees go without a paycheck again.  So he punishes the citizens because he doesn't get his way. What kind of Presidential quality is that. It seems very petty and deplorable....but we already knew that in 2016.

The TSA workers who protect us from allowing in bad people on the airlines and planes, are not getting paid because of the shut down. The TSA exists because of 9/11. So now all the people paid to protect us are leaving and that will make it worse in security for airports. If one plane is taking down on his watch, Trump has to resign. At that point, his whining becomes treasonous and allows people to get hurt.  Mark and Gary Weed discuss this.

Finally Mark reads a letter from a listener describing the elderly as bad people who are always coming down on young people. Mark and Gary discuss if this is an actual problem or if this individual just has a gripe because something happened to him directly.  Find out what is said and more on this new episode of the Q!

The Q - 388 - Shutdown 2019 The Q - 388 - Shutdown 2019 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 22:00:42 +0000 It's a tale of two Jason's on this episode of the Q. First up Jason Kull jumps back in, as well as Jason Patton returns to discuss the 2019 Government Shutdown that is continuing from last year. 

First up the guys discuss the government shutdown and whether it necessary or not. Of course this is stemming from the President's need to fund a border wall on the southern US border and it requires 5 billion dollars according to Trump. Mark shoots back with the fact that its never the Northern Border, which also is Wall-less, that needs to be secured. And the reason for that being that Trump is tunnel visioned people from Mexico and attacking them as much as possible. All which he himself has done online through social media for years.

Then Jason Patton brings up whiskey and beer as a option to drink. But the convo turns towards bad beer and especially one that Jason tried that is supposed to taste of PINE CONE. A Pine cone flavored beer sounds disgusting and Jason explains whether it is or not.

And finally, the story of the young man that was a wrestler and had to cut his dreads because the ref asked him to during an match in front of the entire crowd. Was the ref in the right or wrong?  Mark and Jason Patton are both Pro-wrestlers with experience in competitive wrestling. And Mark knows the Missouri State Wrestling Guidelines say nothing about any rule about hair on the body of anyone. So the world has been chiming in and so do the two Jay's and Marky B. But where do the guys stand...is this okay or a travesty!

All this and much more on the new Q! Happy New Years! #winning #governmentshutdown #theq

And Mark knows the Missouri State Wrestling Guidelines say nothing about any rule about hair on the body of anyone. So the world has been chiming in and so do the two Jay's and Marky B. But where do the guys stand...is this okay or a travesty! All this and much more on the new Q! Happy New Years! #winning #governmentshutdown #theq  The Q - 387 - Out With A Bang The Q - 387 - Out With A Bang Thu, 27 Dec 2018 18:42:53 +0000 Sometimes, it takes time for things to pass before you can come back around and reconnect.  Sometimes it's as if no time has passed at all. Well we get the best of both worlds on this weeks episode of the Q. 

Bj "The No Limit Honkey" Lange joins Mark, Gary and Jason as he travels back to the STL where he called home for many years. Mark and BJ were co-hosts on a weekly music video show called "Mega Music" back in 2001.  Since those days, they have kept in contact and decided to re-connect for an episode.  Which is great since it's the final episode of 2018!

First up, BJ discusses where he has been the past 15 solid years. From moving to LA, to acting, to improv and even into his cancer diagnosis which he has fought TWICE now and succeeded. 

But don't think we stepped away from our core for another episode. No way.  Donald Trump kept up his ridiculousness all the way through the holidays and up to the last days of the 2018. From asking a 7 yr old girl if Santa is real, all the way to throwing a temper tantrum and refusing to leave the white house for Christmas break when everyone else did. Finally he did something nice that no one on the Q can fault him for....he visited the troops in Iraq for Christmas...but only because he was shamed into it again. 1 Step forward, 2 steps back is his M.O.

From there, the show hits a lot of notes from the year 2018. A list of things you might have forgot happened in 2018 (weak list).  As well as discussion on Oscar worthy performances and if Heath Ledger would have won for the Dark Knight had he not passed away. 

This leads to the Final HOTSEAT of the Year with BJ and a discussion on what song gets you all emotional. Which one is the one that catches you off guard every time and you start to get the feels deep in your gut. 

And Finally the guys discuss BJ's cancer diagnosis and how he fought it and some of the stories and people he works with to this day trying to help and better during their fight against prostate cancer. All this and much more on this episode of The Q!

We are at the final shows of 2018 and upon the first of 2019. This week Mark is joined by Andy Echele and Pro-Wrestling friend Jason Patton to discuss all that is merry and bright.

But....(record scratch)...That's not what happens!

Mark Bland met Jason Patton in the late 1990's and they have maintained a relationship ever since.  Jason started training at the legendary South Broadway athletic club in 1999 and that's when him and Mark struck up the friendship....BUT HOLD THE PHONE....Jason explains this on the back of a 6 year stint in PRISON! WHAT??? 

Mark gets it revealed to him for the first time live on this show that his friend Jason not only robbed a bank and went to prison for 6 years, but he was put into the Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth...the oldest in the country. And one of the most notorious in the country to this day. When you think of Shawshank, you are thinking of Leavenworth. 

Jason proceeds to explain his gang background and what it is like sitting and waiting in a Federal Pen. What to watch out for and who to watch out for. If you were wanting a background in the prison system of the US, this episode of the Q opens up a world little seen by many.  

The guys discuss the difference between state and federal level prisons and Jason talks about the most evil human being he's ever encountered in his entire life. A riveting discussion that surely will open your eyes.

Brian disagree's with Mark, so Mark invited him on to discuss which comics are truly FAMOUS and which ones are D and C list celebs at best.

Along for this wonderful ride is Jason Kull and Gary Weed who also join in on this foray. Mark and Gary have been going back and forth about Harold Baines making it into the Baseball Hall of Fame and it lines up perfectly because this show is about VALUE and MERIT. Either you have both and are viewed at the proper level...OR you have one or the other and are viewed on a lesser scale. But it seems people within their own professions view success of others at a heightened level and sometimes you gotta step outside of your business to see it the way others do. But is Mark right or is Brian right. Most comics are gonna agree with Brian because of his position as a stand up comic....but it's never those within your industry that give you the value you require. It's the CROWD and FANS. They are what give you merit. 

Also on the show the guys discuss Michael Cohen, the lawyer for Donald Trump that admitted guilt and is now going to prison for 3 years. You would think that would be the eye opening everyone needed to figure out Trump is dirty, but NOPE! Some people are still holding tight and coming up with every excuse they can so they don't get egg on their face.  Conservatives are dollar sure and too deep now to allow anything to make their choice look bad. But there is more coming down the pipe line and everyone chimes in about what makes Cohen that big of a deal.

Finally Mark, Gary, Jason do the hotseat with Brian. What will he be asked...Also what does he quietly judge people on? It could be anything and it could gain you a fan in Brian or get you thrown away quickly. Find out on this new Q!

The Q - 384 - Karma The Q - 384 - Karma Thu, 06 Dec 2018 19:11:35 +0000 On this show, Producer Bobby returns and with him he brings a cavalcade of guests to the table. First up is his Co-Host, Jared, for a new sports show he is promoting called Sports Central! The two stop in to discuss some sports and chime in on news of the day. But today's show is brimming with talent because Ali Jones of the St. Lunatics, legendary hip hop group, joins for a second week in a row to discuss the news of the day. 

First up, George HW Bush, former President of the United States passed away this week at 94 years of age. The former military veteran and head of the FBI became Ronald Reagans running mate in 1980 when they were able to bring the republican party back to prominence.  From 1980 to 1992, Bush Sr. worked on capitol hill as both Vice President and then becoming President himself in 1988.  

The funeral was a litany of guests from all decades and political backgrounds. But that wasn't what was weird. It got weird when the current President of the US, Mr. Trump, showed up with the First Lady to pay their respects, but it was a cold reception they got from the remaining living former Presidents...and definitely no love lost between himself and the Clinton's.

Next, Mark is curious as to some of the coolest places Ali has been to as an artist.  Ali then breaks down a few of his favorite places and lands on Dubai. This brings up the question of "Why can't the United States build infra-structure similar to Dubai and other locations that advance culture and living?"  Which brings Bobby to producing the picture of him eating the 24k Gold wings in New York. Find out what everyone thinks of this.

Finally, Ali was not put into the Hot Seat the last time he was on, so Mark decides to put him, and Jared (sorta), into the Hot Seat and ask some pointed questions....Like......

Whose your favorite St. Louis Rap artist of all time outside of the Lunatics and your crew? What group surprised you the most in the music industry?  Whose your favorite national artist/group from the last 10 years? And much much more than that. Check out this amazing episode of The Q!

From these interactions and personal dealings, Mark realized early that Ali is a force to reckoned with verbally when discussing touchy and somewhat controversial topics...not unlike himself. Ali explains the beginnings of the St. Lunatics as they celebrate their 25th year as a group.  Mark wonders if there is any plans for a full line up reunion and Ali expounds on why that is always a potential but not at this moment.

Next there are many stories of the hip hop group Mark has heard through the grapevine for years. He decides to serve the stories up and put the questions to rest. Did this happen? Did that happen?  Some very juicy and interesting background on the group and how they gained notoriety is spawned from these questions. Maybe you knew, but maybe you didn't. Find out the real scoop on the groups ascent to fame and popularity.

The guys on the Q have discussed gangs and 1%'ers in the past.  But also 5%'ers were brought up on the show before and there is a lot of lore and background to that belief in  the world. Ali being a 5%'er shines light on whats true and not about his beliefs. He also explains what being a 5%'er means and how others can attain the same beliefs in their life.  But Ali goes a step further and discusses the ways to apply that lifestyle and belief structure to your everyday life. 

Finally,  Ali wanted to discuss something he's heard Mark talk about before regarding slavery in the USA. Ali goes on to discuss how slavery should be viewed and begins to discuss the reparations he believes are important setting things back in the right order. Do you agree or disagree? Find out about this and a bunch more on this riveting interview on The Q!

The Q - 381 - 2018 Election Special The Q - 381 - 2018 Election Special Mon, 05 Nov 2018 16:28:37 +0000 Mark Bland is joined by Producer Bobby and Gary Weed to discuss the upcoming 2018 midterms and voting in general!

First up, Gary and Mark made a bet for the World Series and Mark ended up winning the bet. Discussion of the World series takes us down a sports path once again discussing the value of players within in their respective sports. Who was the best Baseball Pitcher of all time? Is it Greg Maddux or Rollie Fingers? Also who stands out in other sports.  Hockey, Football and all of them. The guys discuss this at length.

Then the gears get switched and it's on the to newest and dumbest thing that Trump could have ever proposed. He wants to use and executive order to remove and override the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. This definitely caught him some hell for even throwing it out there as a potential. All this comes on the backs of the Migrant Caravan making it's way up from Central America with estimates of 10,000+ people looking for asylum.  The guys discuss aspects of this decision and the long term reprecussions that could form from this Trump decision.

The discussion turns to video games on the release of the new Playstation Classic, but does it have the games people want or deserve? Everyone plays referee discussing what is on the machine and what is not. This leads to a convo about playing video games in 2018 on mobile devices and if you ever spend money on the games for yourself.  Mark defends his spending money on a couple mobile games with the most basic of arguments..."I would have done it anyway."  Listen as Mark explains and you see if he makes sense or not.

Unfortunately for Trump, he meant to say "I'm a Patriot". Now a bunch of supporters are going around trying to make it okay to be white and call yourself a nationalist.  Being a white skinned nationalist is not a good thing. The nationlism movement is ripe with men and women that are heavily prejudice and antagonistic in their handling of day to day decisions. 

So Mark grabbed Producer Bobby and Jonathan May to sit down and discuss these things. But Producer Bobby doesnt' see the issue with a person running around calling themselves a nationalist. Mark and Jon have a one on one with Bobby trying to decipher between nationalism and patriotism....see where this convo goes.

But also on the the heels of the nationalism situation, we had random pipe bomb's being mailed to Hillary Clinton, Robert Deniro and many others that ave spoken out against Trump. Plus a migrant caravan is slowly approaching the USA on foot and we have to decide what to do when they get here...should we let them in and start the naturalization process, or do we draw a line in the sand?  We discuss this at length!

Finally, Dr. Susan Shumsky is a paranormal investigator and self described Ghost Buster. She joins Mark on this 2018 Halloween show to discuss ghosts and spirits. Why do ghost exists and why don't ghost just go to heaven and stick around here on earth. Dr. Susan touches on exorcisms and a few stories of things that she has had happen while out and about helping people with their ghost issues. 

All this and much much more on this episode of The Q!

The Q - 379 - By Any Means Necessary The Q - 379 - By Any Means Necessary Fri, 19 Oct 2018 18:31:13 +0000 Donald Trump decided to do an interview with 60 minutes and Leslie Stahl. During said interview, Trump explained that it didn't matter if Christine Ford was telling the truth or not, because they got their man in regardless. So he could be a sexual predator on the Supreme Court but he doesn't care if he is. The important thing is that they got it done by ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

So on this episode, Andy Echele returns with his conservative leaning thoughts to join Mark, Gary Weed and Jason Kull for a round table. On this RT we will discuss the Bret Kavanaugh situation and Trumps stance on it. Plus we start off with a little Fantasy Football discussion and Gary sticks it in everyone's face with his record.

Next up, Elizabeth Warren comes out with her heritage and it seems she's only 1/1024th Native American. That seems quite low so Mark takes it to the round table to find out if Trump owes her the $1 million in Charity donations he promised her if she could prove it. It definitely shows there is Native American heritage, but the common belief would be "not enough to justify"...find out what the panel says.

Finally, Missouri is up for potential legalization of medical marijuana. There are three choices on the ballot and the guys break down the three and help you figure out which one you want to vote for. And the Rock n Roll HOF released it's latest list of nominees for entry into the Hall, but whose worthy of the vote? We discuss and set the list for The Q.

And let's be honest...October is the perfect time to tell spooky stories about people you need to be scared of. But what if they aren't scary at all. What if the people you are discussing are not the monsters that people make them out to be. Well there are two sides to every story and Jonathan May and Gary Weed join to discuss.

Mark starts off discussing a recent issue he had where people went out of their way to make him look bad by taking things out of context. Mark and the guys discuss the manner at which these things happened and why they fall into the "story" world more than anything legitimate in real life. 

Next up Gary discusses a post he recently made to facebook regarding people using EBT cards (welfare money) to buy things required when they also had cash money in their pocket and used it to buy other non essential items. People attacked Gary for being insensitive and to look deeper. Where Gary thinks that his point is well versed and deserves to be taken on it's merits in comparison to the country and others moral/ideological stances. Jonathan and Mark sit back to decipher and get to the bottom of Gary's stance and whether everyone chiding him is right or if in fact Gary makes the "nail in the coffin" argument that should dictate peoples thoughts.

Finally Mark discusses kids in 2018 and how they don't have any patience anymore. How this is indicative of TV/Movie industry today when all they do is make remakes of everything between 1985-2015. Also how this perpetual loop will eventually be lost on life and they might maintain this for decades and decades past our current times. 

]]> Evidently it's "Story Time" in the world of The Q. And let's be honest...October is the perfect time to tell spooky stories about people you need to be scared of. But what if they aren't scary at all. What if the people you are discussing are not the monsters that people make them out to be. Well there are two sides to every story and Jonathan May and Gary Weed join to discuss. Mark starts off discussing a recent issue he had where people went out of their way to make him look bad by taking things out of context. Mark and the guys discuss the manner at which these things happened and why they fall into the "story" world more than anything legitimate in real life.

That Fall air is in and temps start to drop. But this year it's even better because we have SCOTUS hearings and Presidential Alerts and all kinds of Fun. So Producer Bobby and Gary Weed join for this episode of the Q to discuss all of it.

First up, Mark and the Family cruised over to Six Flags for their first weekend of Fright Fest. The temps were great and Six Flags definitely has upped their game regarding this years Fright Fest. 5 Amazing haunted houses for the family to go through and even if you don't grab the Haunted house pass (extra cost), they still have scare areas throughout the park for the kids (little and big) to enjoy. Gary and Bobby also chime in with their experiences plus some basic theme park discussion!

Onto the world of politics, where Brett Kavanaugh is up against it on the SCOTUS nomination. He was grilled for hoursalong with Christine Blasey Ford regarding the sexual assault allegations brought against him.  How is this boding for the judge? Well not as well as he thought it would, but that doesn't mean he's guilty. He's just really emotional while discussing these things. 

Then Mark breaks down how you know that Conservative media just fills their bases heads with BS based on the latest findings in the Charlottesville, Virginia protests from almost 2 years ago. The FBI arrested 4 White Nationalist/KKK members in association with creating Mayhem and many other charges. But how does that prove Conservative Media is biased and mostly wrong all the time...Well listen to Mark break down his logic and explain. Also Mark discusses the Presidential Text Alert and the guys give Trump some much deserved credit.

Finally, Producer Bobby explains that he kinda agrees with Trump moves now and this brings us to how the SCOTUS nomination is important and how it'll shape the future. So we decided to bring up the Supreme Court's most recent decisions over th epast couple years and discuss here Bobby falls with the court. Does he lean conservative or does he stay moderate/liberal. Listen in and figure out what you agree with the court on and what you don't.

The Q - 376 - Bill Cosby Fan Club The Q - 376 - Bill Cosby Fan Club Fri, 28 Sep 2018 15:38:35 +0000 People talking into a microphone having a good time. That's what the Q likes to strive for. Well we have a doozy of a show for you. Anthony Rogers brings his unique style of comedy to the show with Mark and Jonathan May. 

First up, Jonathan is having a hell of a time on Social Media because he feels Bill Cosby got what he deserved. But that doesn't stop people from being contrarians. Jonathan is getting lit up on Facebook so Anthony decides to add his two cents to the issue and bestows a very touchy position to the newly guilty comedy legend.

Next is the Brett Kavanaugh hearings and issue. Seems that Ford will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. She will explain he allegations of sexual assault by Kavanaugh to the Senators and they will either vote to confirm him or they will waive him. The guys throw around their thoughts on how this should fall out.

Finally a shooting in Texas between neighbors caught the attention of Mark and they discuss if it was a legit stand your ground argument or not. Was the guy with the gun in the right, or was it the victim in the orange shirt that was irate and escalated himself until he made a move that cost him his life. 

All this and much much more on this episode of the Q!

The Q - 375 - Mario Kart The Q - 375 - Mario Kart Thu, 20 Sep 2018 14:53:18 +0000 Gary Weed and Producer Bobby joins Mark Bland on this show regarding sexual assault and how it should be viewed.

Now they will get to that eventually, but first up is a discussion. All three of our hosts are in a Fantasy Football league together where Mark is 1-1, Bobby is 0-2 and Gary is 2-0. First up Mark describes his issue with being in a fantasy league and trying to keep up with NFL Redzone TV while watching the games. Then the guys switch over to discuss players and names that are and are not allowed on the back of a NFL jersey. 

Next we switch over to the news of the week and it's not all good for Donald Trump, President of the USA. Poor Donald's week started with Stormy Daniels outting his falice size in the most unattractive way possible. She compared his "member" to that of TOAD from MARIO KART. Well this sent the whole world on fire and the things people said are not pleasant about the President. 

Also, Brett Kavanaugh is having a problematic week also. He disavows knowledge of a claim again him from High School. He has been accused of sexual assault by a woman that grew up with him. He claims it never happened, and she claims to want a FBI Investigation or else she won't testify in front of the Senate during these confirmation hearings. But it's not about a 30+ year old story...it's about a potential supreme court justice being a liar or not. He's claiming it never happened.  But what if it did? The guys break all of this down.

Finally back into some sports talk revolving about betting coming to sports nationally and if players can be "gotten to" regarding fixing games. Can they....What if the Atlanta Falcons were told to drop the Superbowl on purpose?  How would that really go?

First up is Mark Bland and Gary Weed discussing their life and a question that Gary brings to the table regarding his Facebook and how no one can have an opinion anymore without being mercilessly attacked. And Mark answers the question and even puts a timeline on how it went down in history.

Then the convo moves to the business and "religion" of Scientology. What is Scientology? What should you know about it? And how does Scientology and their "policies" fall in line with the way Donald Trump is handling the people and media of the United States. It seems to Mark that Trump supporters have this vibe of being in a cult. The way Trump handles things reminds Mark of how a cult leader handles their followers...and that's what Trump wants...he wants Followers, not fans. 

This leads into our guest Jay Kanzler. Jay is a lawyer in the St. Louis area for the past 30 years and he sits down with Mark to discuss the legalities of things surrounding Trump. What is illegal, whats not illegal and what should be focused on as opposed to worthless to worry about. Jay and Mark break down the Michael Cohen stuff and take some swings at where the country is at and things that could happen. This is one hot interview and worth every minute of listening!

That decorum includes how you handle yourself in the eyes of others and the world. Donald Trump fails at this daily and it took an ugly turn this past week when he decided to threaten to investigate and attack Google.....GOOGLE....because it returned less than favorable reviews of him in it's search. 

Gary Weed flies solo this week while discussing with Mark about the Google issue.  Mark breaks down the value and how this looks to everyone. What we have here people is a sensitive little man that really wants to control peoples opinions. What he fails to remember is that guys like this have existed throughout history and the USA always looks down on those type of people. 

Gary also rounds back and verify's that Mark's laundry issue and decision was not crazy in the least bit. Further villifying Jonathan May and Alex Elias from the week earlier. 

Finally...Mark asks "Whats the weirdest home rule someone has for when you visit their house"...Gary hits Mark with an example he never saw coming and it is real weird. Take a listen and find out what the rule is.

Further villifying Jonathan May and Alex Elias from the week earlier.  Finally...Mark asks "Whats the weirdest home rule someone has for when you visit their house"...Gary hits Mark with an example he never saw coming and it is real weird. Take a listen and find out what the rule is. Mark BlandTo be President of the USA, it requires a certain amount of decorum. That decorum includes how you handle yourself in the eyes of others and the world. Donald Trump fails at this daily and it took an ugly turn this past week when he decided to threaten to investigate and attack Google.....GOOGLE....because it returned less than favorable reviews of him in it's search.  Gary Weed flies solo this week while discussing with Mark about the Google issue.  Mark breaks down the value and how this looks to everyone.

First up Mark has a conundrum to figure out. Is he CRAZY or is he being logical. Mark and his wife have a broken dryer and the need to wash and dry clothes weekly. Mark discusses bringing up the need to go to a Laundromat which his wife is not keen on. So Mark explains his theories to the crew and then asks, AM I CRAZY? Well is he....listen and find out the verdict

Also, Bobby Brings up something that he saw at LaGuardia airport in NY. A sectioned off desk and piece of ground designed for Free Speech. It's a Free Speech zone. Bobby was amazed and this makes Mark think of pop-up Rage rooms that he has seen online.  This get Alex going and excited about a new business venture.  But what about that Free Speech zone...can you say Bomb in it? What would happen? The gentlemen discuss.

Finally Mark brings up a new game he wants to play called Top 5. Yo name off the Top 5 of yours without telling anyone the topic...then the people are supposed to guess what your list refers to. An amazing idea that just falls apart but could be brought back in a more permanent way down the road.

ˈmerət/
noun
  1. the quality of being particularly good or worthy, especially so as to deserve praise or reward.


    Mark Bland is joined by Gary Weed and Michael Johnson from Slam Agency, a boutique content and marketing company based in STL. And what a show to guest on. 

    First up is Michael Johnson who is not heard from much in the world of entertainment.  Michael discusses the ramp up in life leading to Slam Agency being formed. He discusses his film company named Analogue as well as discusses his life, family and a major decision he made to leave being a pastor to work within content development. 

    Now this leads into the story of the week. Mark has been in the entertainment and media business since 1994. That's 24 years of being in the media in one city. He has built a solid fanbase and rolodex of connections to pull from. So when the Gateway Motorsports park jilted him on some media requests, it was only natural that Mark had to say something. Mark tweeted out to Indy Racing and Gateway that he wasn't going to be coming to the racing event because he didn't want to stand around watching Indy with a bunch of Trump supporters. Well this set the world on fire. ALL the trump supporting Indy people got very angry and it just started firing. But there is Method to Mark's madness. It's not just whining and complaining...Mark explains the situation in full and see if you are with him or against him after he's done telling it all. 

    Finally Trump did dumb things again and we all know that it's not necessary to discuss or ever type up a description of the lunacy on a daily basis. So Trump did stuff and no one wanted any of it. But the best was "Truth is not Truth" from Rudy Giuliani. The guys and their guest discuss it all on this episode of The Q.

On that day, Trump called it FAKE NEWS and said CNN was liars. And from then on, everyone chastised CNN and liberal news sources as liars that always put out fake stories.

Cut to this past Sunday...Donald Trump goes on Twitter and tells everyone that the meeting did happen with Russia and his son was there, AND it was a meeting to get info on Hillary during the election. Well meeting with people to get dirt on the opponent is not illegal.  But when you tell us CNN lies for 2 years and then you admit you actually lied and CNN was right...now we know you're purposely swaying the information to your advantage. Which is Total BS.

Mark is joined by Jonathan May and Gary Weed to discuss this new information and break down what it means for the country. But during the convo, a conversation from off air re-enters the room. And again it has racial implications.  Mark feels that Jonathan and black culture is playing too much off things from the Civil War to justify actions in 2018. Jonathan claims that it is fair to do that. See where you stand at the end of this epic discussion!

Mark believes Radiohead sucks as a band. He feels they were shoved down peoples throats as a darling in the 1990's and they never looked back. And, as proof, Mark has Jason Kull to disagree with him and complain....but this all starts with Iron Maiden.

On this episode, Mark is joined by Gary Weed and Jason Kull to discuss Trumps dumb decisions for the week. But the show starts off with a discussion about Jason wearing a Iron Maiden shirt and Mark claiming they suck. This rears Gary's head being a huge fan of Maiden and having seen them multiple times.  This also leads to a discussion about groups that are the top heavy metal groups of all time.

Also, it seems that Mueller is getting close to Trump. Trump started lashing out on twitter all angrily at everyone and that seems to be his M.O. for when people are right or on his heels about something. He lashes when angry. But why is he angry? Well being the president, you are privy to information before others and the guys feel he's been giving the proof and it's not making him a happy boy. Well don't do bad things.

Finally, Mark has some letters from the listeners and the crew answers some of the more interesting questions we've had on the show. Including: What is your favorite documentary?

The Q - 368 - Learning From History The Q - 368 - Learning From History Mon, 30 Jul 2018 16:22:20 +0000 Mark Bland and Jonathan May saddle up for an amazing ride and one hell of a show. 

First up, Mark has had Jonathan on the show many times but never had a chance to really get to know him a little better. So Mark takes it upon himself for an impromptu interview of J-dog and finding out about his family and upbringing.

Next Michael Cohen decided to release the Trump Tapes to CNN and the entire world is ablaze with the revelation that Trump tried paying off MORE THAN ONE women to have sex with him. As damning as liberals want this to be, it's not illegal for Trump to be a horrible husband (3 times now). Honestly its quite pathetic to know that either his hot wives are such bores that he has to find other women....OR....Trump is such a crappy person that he can't tell anyone including his own wives the truth either. 

Mark then gets into a discussion about the history of Presidents that were assassinated and how watching those situations go down you can learn from history. Right now, Trump is nailing all the things that historically led down this crazy path to a certain ending.  Nobody on the Q or around the world is wishing for it, but could it happen today? The guys discuss.

Plus a little on the new Sacha Baron Cohen tv show and George Washington and probably how his life as President went.

First up, Mark has some questions regarding the Trump/Putin Summit in Helsinki and how these fine men view Trump as their President here in mid 2018. Does He fair well, or is all this fake news becoming too much to handle?

Also this brings Mark to one of his newest points...Trump has hurt his brand more than help it. How will people view Trump when the presidency is over? Will he get opportunities or will he fade into the past without much fanfare?

Eventually the name Maxine Waters comes up and Mark is not sure if Bobby knows who she is and or whether she has touched his life.  But this should put to bed the notion that democrats tend to take advice from people like Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters. 

Finally Bobby brings around the new game called "This or That" where he grills the panel to find out a little more about the guys.  

Fun episode that you'll be listening to a lot!

Eventually the name Maxine Waters comes up and Mark is not sure if Bobby knows who she is and or whether she has touched his life.  But this should put to bed the notion that democrats tend to take advice from people like Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters.  Finally Bobby brings around the new game called "This or That" where he grills the panel to find out a little more about the guys.   Fun episode that you'll be listening to a lot!

The Q - Ep. 364 - But What About The Q - Ep. 364 - But What About Fri, 22 Jun 2018 18:02:17 +0000 "What About-ism's"....seems to be the only thing a certain section of political supporters can do to keep their shallow ideals and beliefs relevant. Cause everything for them is steeped in the past and what happened in ancient times that are not relevant to the present. 

Jason Kull and Jonathan May join the show this week to discuss these things that just refuse to go away from the past.  But that is on the heels of a historic week of keeping kids separated from the families while stuck in a foreign country they are not from and have no residency in. But then on the back side, and just two days after claiming "I don't have any power to help"...Donald Trump signs a executive order to fix the separation issue at the border. One that he kinda created as a platform and enforced. 

This leads to a discussion about how Trump tends to create issues and fix them so he can have a check in the win column. He also tends to prop up things that are useless as a win too, like signing a friendship agreement with North Korea who was never the issue. 

Also the guys discuss drugged up river eels and how their coke habits are getting way outta control.

The Q - Ep. 363 - 1800 Bill Murray The Q - Ep. 363 - 1800 Bill Murray Fri, 15 Jun 2018 20:06:02 +0000 Anthony Rogers and Gary Weed join the show to discuss how Trump met with Kim Jong Un in Singapore to sign a "friendship agreement" (not a peace treaty).  At this point, the North Koreans are more worried about peace with the USA than stopping the War between them and South Korea. So did it go well? We discuss all the intricacies and everything regarding this historic summit.

Gary Weed hit Mark up earlier in the week with meme from the internet that intrigued him. It said "You have $100 and you have to put a block party together with these listed bands and their prices, who do you pick?"  So Mark decided to discuss their picks live on the show, who would you pick...listen and figure it out.

But the most surprising moment was when Anthony Rogers, the actor extraordinaire, explained that he has access and the number for the famous Bill Murray 1-800 number.  It's well known that Murray takes voicemails off the line and makes his business decisions off of that. So the guys use Anthony's phone and call Bill directly to pitch coming on the Q and being interviewed.

The Q - 362 - Channing Tatum The Q - 362 - Channing Tatum Fri, 01 Jun 2018 15:54:07 +0000 Jonathan May and Gary Weed join the show to discuss the big topics of the week. So you ask, why is the show named Channing Tatum...what happened with him this week. Well nothing happened with him this week at all unless your Jonathan May and your head is stuck in the gutter.  Gary once again starts the show off with an interesting question that makes Mark question everything in his world. 

Eric Greitens decided that being a bad person and being watched and attacked for it was enough. He stepped down as Governor of the state of Missouri after being accused of raping and sexually assaulting a female. The guys touch on it but, in typical moderate fashion, there is really nothing more to say. It's in the past now and will stay there. Instead the guys focus on discussing Roseanne losing her show on ABC and how she could have avoided it.

Finally Jonathan May is not liking this Drake vs. Pusha T beef and Mark is clueless along with Gary.  Jon updates them and gives the newest piece of the beef. A child exists and has been outed....do Mark and Gary agree with Drake or Pusha T. Find out on this episode of The Q.

And it's never good stuff either. Well this might be the show where the beginning of the undoing of Trump started.

Michael Cohen the former Trump "fixer" has been in the heat lately and it's only showcasing why Trump wants distance. Companies are coming forward and explaining that Mike offered access and favors from a Trump presidency in exchange for money. A lot of money. If this is true, Trump is in the hot seat. There is no other presidency Michael Cohen could have done this on behalf of other than Trump. Plus the companies have stated it was for favors with Trump. Jason Kull and Jonathan May discuss this all with Mark.

And finally...Mark has been listening to shows and researching about the Intellectual Dark Web that he has been accused of being a part of. Mark realized something important and by the end of the show, that becomes blaringly clear to everyone!

Having taken some time to work on somethings in life, Bobby is back to throw his opinion around and it doesn't take long for him and Mark to be back to not agreeing on things.

First up, North Korea as decided to play nice all of a sudden and the world is taking notice. Also seems like South Korea will say and do anything Trump asks them.  While discussing this story, Mark tries to paint a visual of the location of North Korea and South Korea. Bobby disagrees with the visualization and all hell breaks loose on the show. 

Also, everyone has been watching Kanye for a few weeks, as he has decided to drop bombs everywhere he's gone. Recently he jumped on TMZ and told everyone "400 years of slavery was a choice".  Was it? That seems crazy and so do the majority of his recent blatherings. The guys discuss!

On this episode, Brandon Travis joins to discuss the weird tactics of parliaments around the world and how one recently got a little over the top.

Also, Mark discusses the type of government he thinks would work good for the hard headed people of the USA. This leads to our latest discussions about Andrew McCabe being let go from the FBI days before retirement, but AGAIN another person on Capitol Hill getting removed from office around this Trump/Russia Investigation.

Finally the guys do a little music offering this week. Mark gets some letters from the listeners and throws out a question about 1 hit wonders, which leads down a rabbit hole about the top 100 1-hit wonders according to VH1. So Mark and the guys break down the top 10 of that list and judge whether its justified or a crappy list.

This of course leads to a deeper discussion about racial relations in the USA and what is considered racist by some is not considered racist by others. Whose right? Well we don't know cause Brandon Travis jumps on the show and immediately throws the conversation for a loop with very viable arguments regarding race in America.  

Also the guys discuss Denzel Washington and his ability to get oscar nods, but then it's brought up that maybe other roles were more deserving of Denzel to get oscars for. Was Training Day his best, or was it Glory. All this plus a very tiny discussion on Trump and firing Tillerson in this exciting episode of the Q.

The 2018 Oscars just happened and the show was the lowest rated in history.  Was it too much focus on women? Was it Jimmy Kimmel? Was it the need for the Hollywood elite to hold on to tradition too much?  

All of these things are discussed between Jason Kull, Gary Weed and Mark Bland on this episode of the Q. Plus, are we on the edge of another financial crisis....someone whose very rich and well known thinks so. The guys discuss this and a bevy of other topics including Mark's covering of the MVC Tournament (aka Arch Madness) and some things he took away from it.

After being a guest on Bob's show, Mark had such a good time that he invited Bob Wahl to come on the Q and discuss politics and pop culture and real estate. Mark brings up some issues he had in the past with a real estate transaction and brings those problems to Bob's feet. Why should the seller pay the closing cost for a buyer on a house...find out what Bob says about this and a few other topics regarding real estate.

Hope Hicks is the 18th person to resign from Trump's presidency. Imagine if 18 employees from the past year all resigned under you as a person that was elected to run the country. He picked you specifically cause he wanted you to fix or help the situations in the country and EVEN YOU can't handle being a member of his administration anymore. That's pretty sucky and deep...so we discuss.

Finally Bob sits in the Hot seat and we discuss a myriad of issues and questions that will get you thinking and wishing there was more Q show.

It seems unfortunate for the guest whose booked because gun talk and laws isn't a fun thing to discuss. Neither is dead children because others don't want their "rights" trampled on. 

First up, the guys focus on the Olympics and Mark decides that there needs to be a change in the broadcast team for ice skating.  Then it's right into the Parkland Florida shooting.

The Q - Ep. 348 - Censored The Q - Ep. 348 - Censored Tue, 20 Feb 2018 14:58:04 +0000 Tony Cabral makes his triumphant return to the Q after a bit of a hiatus. Living in Chicago doesn't afford him the opportunity to be on the greatest show ever...but we make do. 

First up, Mark is dealing with a ton of censoring from the social media lately because of his show regarding black and white culture and the movie Black Panther. He has weened it down to specific people trying to censor him directly cause they are quite angry about the message getting out which doesn't play to these peoples narratives. Mark and Tony discuss what happened and why it seems over the top. 

​Mark and Tony also discuss the ability to "swat" people who you are mad at from far away and how this is becoming a very dangerous trend in the USA. This leads into a discussion about allegiance to the USA and allegiance to Trump. Where is the allegiance to our country and not your political party?

All this and more available on this episode of the Q.

The Q - Ep. 347 - Black Panther The Q - Ep. 347 - Black Panther Wed, 07 Feb 2018 19:16:33 +0000 The new Black Panther movie seems to be getting a lot of attention from the Black Community.  This has brought up certain feelings within the white community and they have not been quiet about this. So Mark Bland, being the devils advocate he is, decides to bring in comedian Jonathan May to discuss Black culture, racism and this heightened care for a movie that hasn't even been released yet.

Oh but the train don't stop there....This discussion goes into racism and the true backbone that black people think White people don't respect or care about them in 2018.  

Joined by Jason kull, this is an exciting episode of the Q that really delves deep into the manners and ideals of our cultures and how they should truly be viewed in our current times. Ain't no hiding in this episode...all the words and feelings are put on the table.

The guys start out discussing the State of the Union address by President Trump and the argument that Democrats didn't clap.  Well Mark points out this is quite normal and there are tons of examples from the past where other Presidents got shut down with the clap.

Then the story moves to Tom Brady and the Patriots going to their next Superbowl. Mark is a fan and Andy not so much. But his success begs the question, is he the greatest sports athlete of all time? Possibly...listen to the discussion and you make your decision.

Finally Mark had a run in with a Flat Earth believer recently and discusses the points brought to his attention and whether anyone else in the country believes the Flat Earth things.  This leads to discussion about conspiracy and the theories people hold.  Plus a reminder from Mark about conspiracy theorist.

First things up, Mark is accused of Poking the Bear on social media by Jonathan. The three break down what is considered crossing the line versus not.  Mark feels that it's undeserved dislike he receives. Does Jonathan agree? Find out...

Also, Mark talks about his son and his new found love of horror movies. But this leaves Mark with a conundrum. His son is 5 and there isn't many options for him to show the child without ruining him mentally for life. So what can he show him? Also, there seems to be a weird lycanthropic issue that Jonathan seems to have and comes out on the show. 

Finally the guys discuss some Trump and Stormy Daniels. And Mo'nique is asking people to stop using netflix in protest to help here...all of this and much more on the Q!

The Q - Ep. 344 - A Murderers Row The Q - Ep. 344 - A Murderers Row Thu, 18 Jan 2018 17:52:14 +0000 I have to say, this might be the best discussion on the Q in many years. Brandon Travis returns from a less than stellar abesnce and he jumps right into the fray.

First up, Trump paid out thousands to a porn star to keep quiet about a supposed act of miscoduct that needed to be kept under the rug. Unfortunately for "Swing and a Miss Don", he missed again and she didn't keep her silence. But is Donald in the complete wrong on this? Listen and find out what was said!

Also, all this sexual misconduct talk is hard to ignore when your states horrible Governor is running around and blackmailing people to keep them quiet. Then he has gone AWOL technically and no one knows where to find him.  Is it real, or not. The guys discuss before getting into the nitty gritty...

Brandon finally opens up about his past 7-10 months and the things that have been going on in his life. Gun fights, knife fights, drugs and the world of rehab all await on some of the most compelling audio the Q has ever released!

The Q - Ep. 343 - LIARS The Q - Ep. 343 - LIARS Wed, 10 Jan 2018 15:47:07 +0000 Well it's been a unique week in the world of Trump and politics. This week the people within the Trump presidency are all fluttered up with whirlwind news coming from former Chief of Strategy and Staff Steve Bannon. Bannon was interviewed for a book called "Fire and Fury" that is about the Trump Presidency and the first months of it in early 2017. Michael Wolff the author interviewed many people around the White House and they went on record with him discussing things that they thought and seen.  Steve Bannon in particular explained that the fake news Russian Meetings that were supposedly all BS, actually they were very real. OUCH. But then he went a step further and explained that the discussions were all treasonous. Out of control.

Mark and Jason Kull discuss this entire situation, all the players and how we should view this information as logical independent voters and thinkers in 2018. 

Also, Jason Kull is mad at Charter. He feels the company is immediately implementing net neutrality repeals and slowing peoples speeds down even though they pay for 100mbps service. Mark is not so quick to say that, but take a listen and see where you stand.

The Q - Ep. 342 - You're Kidding Me The Q - Ep. 342 - You're Kidding Me Tue, 02 Jan 2018 21:51:00 +0000 FIRST SHOW OF 2018...and we are starting the year off with a Bang! Jason Kull joins Mark to discuss the most up to date and current stance with the Trump Presidency. But that is not the big news of the day by any means.

Mark decides that 2018 needs to start with a rant that is geared towards the majority of cell phone loving Americans. Apple recently announced that they are slowing down cell phones. Mark is an avid Apple phone guy and this is not sitting well with the majority of people that pay large prices for their equipment monthly. Mark takes aim...see what he has to say.

Then the Tax Cut that Trump is so happy about is the focus of the next discussion. Obviously it helps the wealthy and the upper echelon of society...but will it help the middle class and lower class? Probably not right off the bat and definitely the way it was structured will blow up in the next Presidents face. But Trump doesn't care about the next President cause he is not a true American patriot the way he discusses and pretends. 

Finally Mark had it out on Twitter with some sports people from the southern US that love their college football. But why is someone asking for an autograph considered a pariah to the other people in the news writing community that covers Clemson football. Well tune in and find out if you agree with Mark or the others!

Mark Bland is joined by Jason Kull and Andy Echele to discuss the big things that we as a country had to deal with in Trump's MERICA this year. 

First up the guys discuss Doug Jones beating out Republican Roy Moore which was easily the biggest political race of the entire year. Trump had put his name behind a few different people and they all lost. What does this mean for the 2018 elections and how will this affect the way the republican party is viewed?

Finally the guys discuss about Christmas traditions within their house and discuss a few movies from the Christmas season.  This leads into the discuss regarding the biggest issue of the year that was overturned by the FCC. The guys jump in and discuss all the good and potentially bad things about net neutrality. Did the guys agree with the FCC or are they against it...download and listen!

Mark took the cue and decided to bring in famed St. Louis Chef Rob Connoley of St. Louis' own Squatters Cafe/Bulrush to come in and discuss the culinary arts. They discuss how he made the jump from his previous job into being a chef, plus what living in New Orleans and New Mexico taught him about life and food. Rob is also quite the politically motivated individual and this brings around a conversation about Roy Moore, the embattled Alabama senate hopeful, who is dealing with allegations about dating and molesting underage girls back in his earlier career. But that doesn't stop President Donald Trump from sticking his foot in his mouth again and deciding to team up with Moore to try and help him ensure victory. Should the President do this? What can Rob infuse with Salmon to make a delicious winter treat taste amazing? All this and more is discussed on the new Q!

Also, Trump doesn't really care for Puerto Rico's mayor or the people of the country.  He has tweeted out many times since the hurricane disasters to other locales but not until a week later did Trump finally get around to helping the people of Puerto Rico...then he called them lazy and wanted everything done for them.  The guys discuss a little about this because honestly it's difficult to keep up with Trump constantly starting issue and fist fights with everyone daily.

First up Producer Bobby is the co-host this week and we start off discussing Black Lives Matter and specifically the fact that there is this push to get people within the movement to stop saying "White Privilege" and start saying "White Supremacy".  Mark and Bobby feel this is change in the narrative for a purpose.

Then they went dropped a hydrogen bomb to test it and BOOM...it worked great. So they are currently threatening the USA and Trump is mad that China is not making NK bend to their power.  So Trump has the USA on the brink of Going to Nuclear War and there is nothing to do but listen to the Q.

AND NOW....Anthony, a previous guest on the Q, is in the sights of the Riverfront Times.  The RFT is a local news magazine in the St. Louis area that focuses on pop culture and entertainment.  Mark has had his fair share of going around with the RFT in the past and Anthony brings the whole dismay with that company back around with a hit piece they did on him. Mark and Anthony try to explain that they are representative of St. Louis to many people outside this metro area and there are companies pretending it is not true. The guys discuss in glorious detail.

Also, Mark and the guys focus on the Donald Trump Jr. email with Russia and how everything that was considered fake is slowly coming out to be true.  So MSNBC, NY Times and Washington Post were not lying as previously stated.  This brings the conversation around when Producer Bobby and Anthony state that all sports is fixed and fake.  Mark disagrees. Sit back and enjoy the conversation between these verified entertainers from STL.

This leads to a report from an Australian journalist covering the G20 that reported on Trump in the most scathing way possible.  The guys play the clip and proceed to discuss all the points and merits the journalist brings up in the video.

Otto Warmbier is a US college student that was in North Korea for 17 months before he was brought home this past week.  Otto was in a coma the majority of that time and when he returned to the USA he passed away a few short days later. Of course with Mark being a lightning rod for discussion, Mark was attacked for his opinion on the Otto situation on Twitter and social media.  Mark and the guys discuss the unwarranted attacks on him and why Otto was in trouble in the first place.  You just don't steal. It doesn't matter where in the world you are, the sentiments are the same.....stealing is bad.  

Also, Mark hasn't tested with sound on the show in a while and decided to break it out during the show. This comes on the heels of discussing secret rooms and eventually a discussion on the Supreme Court saying it is OK for sexual deviants and sex offenders to maintain social media. Enjoy!

The Q - Ep .314 - Allies are Important The Q - Ep .314 - Allies are Important Tue, 30 May 2017 15:39:44 +0000 Let's just face facts.  Having Allies in War is strategically important to the success of a country in a War. And with the world on edge and arms discussions at the highest levels since the Cold War, it would only benefit the USA to have good allies.

And after this first trip to the middle east to meet leaders in that area, and his handling of the secret info from the Manchester attack, Trump is starting to piss allies off. Mark and Jason Kull discuss the impact that this could have.

Also, Mark went to Six Flags St. Louis again and had another issue. Although this time it wasn't with treatment of people. Mark seems to have found a serious issue with sizing at park.  He discusses on the show.

S-Town was brought to Mark's attention by the website VOX.com and it focuses on an eccentric man from a small town outside of Tuscaloosa, Alabama named John B.  John calls up NPR and This American Life to come do a expose on his town and a murder that happened there (we won't say anymore for fear of spoiling).   It's a great podcast but Mark caught something in the show and when he heard it, it literally was a "gotcha moment" politically for him.  The Fuck It Theory.

The Fuck It Theory explains it all in detail and Mark, along with producer Bobby and Jason Kull, break down the theory and discuss it's merits within the context of the 2016 Election.  Plus Trump made his first Foreign trip to the Middle East and man did some weird Orb stuff happen. All this and much more on the new episode of the Q.

The Q - Ep. 311 - Scouts Honor The Q - Ep. 311 - Scouts Honor Mon, 08 May 2017 16:29:02 +0000 France has made a decision that couldn't come at a better time.  Marie Le Pen, considered the Donald Trump of the election, was sent packing with her tail between her legs after centrist and logical thinker Emanuel Macron won in the hotly contested French election.  This was a dagger to the hearts of hard core Right wing media and supporters who thought after Brexit and Trump, their ship had come into harbor.  But alas, they were wrong.

On top of that, Producer Bobby and Brandon Travis help Mark kick around the idea that the FAKE NEWS attempt near the end of the French election was an attempt to sway the election.  Then Brandon decides to tell his story of what he called FAKE NEWS within his own life.  Was it truly fake news or not....Mark and Bobby discuss.

Finally, the Boy Scouts hit the news in the past week when a girl was given the chance and authorized to join the Boy Scouts.  But Mark doesn't see the value in this and it turns into a heated debate between all three men as they breakdown their personal ideals to figure out if this Scout decision was a good thing or bad thing.

Trump decided to go and drop the MOAB in Afghanistan and now the world is on edge because its the largest non nuclear bomb the USA has.  And with North Korea constantly shooting their own rockets towards the USA, everyone knows that a potential nuclear showdown might happen sooner than later.

Also. a guy decided to jump on Facebook Live and start killing people while streaming it.  This is some crazy stuff that leads to a discussion about the death penalty and the guys talk about their stances on the issue because of the Arkansas lethal injection stuff going down in the next 10 days.

First up, Jason Kull and Producer Bobby slip back into the seats of producer and co-host to help Mark break down all the fun.  But it's the school shooting that opens the eyes of Mark and the team to where they are eventually gonna go with the show. A Murder-Suicide takes the life of a teacher and 8 year old student in San Bernadino and this raises the the good ole 2nd Amendment question in the eyes of everyone on the show.  Everyone but Bobby, which triggers the most morbid episode of the Q possible.  Bobby brings up the validity of the school shootings before he breaks down the door of crazy things that happen on the internet. This leads to a discussion of death and suicides on the internet that are filmed and the guys discuss all of it.

After that, it's Super Syria time as the boys discuss our friend of the show, Donald J .Trump decided to throw down the proverbial gauntlet and let the  world know that after he tells people in need they aren't welcome, he'll be the first to kill their eventual killers...but only after those people are already dead and can't benefit from Trump at all.

BUT NOT SO FAST EVERYONE....seems that the St. Louis County PD and Attorney knew of more video from that same store the the night before (technically in the early morning of the day of his death) where Mike Brown came in, made some sort of deal with the employees and then handed the exact same bag of cigarillos over to the employees for safe keeping....until the next morning when he shows back up for them.

Mark and Alex Elias discuss this need video in detail and discuss the ramifications if there are any new points of view to take from this.  They discuss the why and how of the case regarding this new info and if the rioting would have still happened or not.

Also, Bill Paxton passed away shortly before the show and the guys reminisce about their favorite past movies and TV shows he was involved in. This leads to a deeper conversation about the careers of other well known people and what they have accomplished in the business of movies too.

Finally Mark brings up some questions from the fans and listeners and this leads to one of the best endings to a show that we have ever had.  One question leads to a discussion about the worst things about Porn....this brings up Bobby's story and review of a movie from when he was younger that levels the crew.  Great stuff and you don't wanna miss it.

First up, we discuss Kellyanne Conway and her need to create fake and false massacre's to fodder the Muslim Ban that trump enacted.  Kellyanne went on another political show on TV and stated that because of the "Bowling Green Massacre", that's why the ban is needed.  Only problem is that It never happened and she completely made it up again.  Another Alternative Fact.

Then the guys take some callers and they decide to go in blind and see what the fans of the show are thinking.  May have been the wrong idea.  The callers definitely were the star of this show, so saddle up and take a listen....prepare to be entertained.

The President Donald Trump has had a busy first week in office and at the end of it he decided to Ban people from 7 specific Middle Eastern countries that have terrorist ties.  But the issue is that he left a few other countries that are also terror based off the list. Why?  Well maybe he has economic ties to those countries, or maybe he doesn't feel they are a threat at all.  Regardless, the hashtag #MuslimBan seems to be taking the entire world by storm as country after country denounces this US stance.  People are taking over airports and we discuss whether this is all justified or not.

But first, Kayo Bracey joins the show to discuss hip hop and growing up in North Carolina over the past few years with all the confederate flag talk and now Trump becoming the president.  He tells us a little about his upbringing as well as his influences coming from the home of hip hop legend Petey Pablo.

All this and much more on the Q!

    Mark then decides to explain how ABC and other major networks could capitolize heavily on the crop of well known internet based/youtube based talents and their fanbases.  Mark was watching his daughter watch this guy that plays Minecraft to the tune of millions of fans and it got him thinking about all the other people on online that have huge fanbases and could benefit from and to major media conglomerates and their current power fanbases that exist.  

    Finally, Mark and Bobby come across a new social media app called PEEPLE which touts itself as the "YELP for everyday people" .

    But before all that fun starts, Mark has to rant!  Walmart has 50 check out lanes and Sams club has 20, but the number of checkers to lanes is not proportianate and sends Mark on a fuel rage because of the lack of common sense within the Walmart family in general.

    Plus this past week, some secret documents got leaked out of Panama regarding the offshore accounts and assets of some of the worlds most power people.  This has sent the world into a small tizzy, costing the president of Iceland his job and definitely catching the ire of potentially the most dangerous man in the world, Vladamir Putin. Mark and Andy discuss the impact and the eventual fallout if any.  Plus Mark gives what he thinks is the US stance on all of this.

The Q - Ep. 256 - Bon Voyage The Q - Ep. 256 - Bon Voyage Mon, 28 Mar 2016 15:50:53 +0000 Well Vitaly has been in the country since December and its time for him and his wife to make that fateful trip back to the USSR here in a week.  But before he goes, Mark decides to bring him onto the show one more time to talk about Donald Trump, The Brussel's Attacks and the value of living in 2016.  But he forced us to have Proucer Bobby on the show too if he came on...begrudgingly we said OK.

    First up is a fun filled rant from Mark.  Being a father and family man, Mark understands the value of a Family LockerRoom at a local pool.  Evidently the people at the new complex in a local STL municipality do not appreciate the value of said family sized things and spent all their money not making proper accomodations in Mark's opinion. 

    Next up Mark discusses the Brussels Attack and how he feels that it might have been deterred if two things happen:

    1. focus on why they are choosing these french speaking areas to attack

    2. Start being more judgmental of the people in their country and start using a little profiling to tighten up the ranks.  Not negative stereotyping, but focusing on similarities that lead to dangerous situations.

    Finally Mark, Bobby and Vitaly discuss the Donald Trump phenomenon and how our society in the USA kinda created this vitriolic rheotric and attitude.  Explaining why Trump seems to reasonate with the base of voters that love him.  And also discussing the potential for the convention to be contested.

Finally Mark, Bobby and Vitaly discuss the Donald Trump phenomenon and how our society in the USA kinda created this vitriolic rheotric and attitude.  Explaining why Trump seems to reasonate with the base of voters that love him.  And also discussing the potential for the convention to be contested.  Mark BlandWell Vitaly has been in the country since December and its time for him and his wife to make that fateful trip back to the USSR here in a week.  But before he goes, Mark decides to bring him onto the show one more time to talk about Donald Trump, The Brussel's Attacks and the value of living in 2016.  But he forced us to have Proucer Bobby on the show too if he came on...begrudgingly we said OK.

    First up, Marco Rubio has dropped out of the Primaries (for now) and is watiing till the convention comes along to see who walks out of the convention as the Republican nominee.  

    Next up, St. Louis Comedian Jon Maddy joins to wax poetic about the STL comedy scene.  He and Mark discuss how actors like the Rock and Johhny Knoxville should be viewed within the world of Stand up comedy.  They also talk about Louis CK and others within the business and whether they have comedy writers working with them at this point to help them stay on top.

    Next the guys breakdown how this election will go down and how there is need for the GOP to unify or else they will split the vote and walk Hillary right into the presidency. A lot of this is from the fact that people think Trump is polarizing and originally thought that Obama was the "most polarizing person of all time". Mark feels this stems from the super sensitive nature and emotional inability of many conservative voters in the country.   

    Fianlly, Mark and Jon do the HOT SEAT for Jon and they do a little Over Time where they take on the famous Moral Dilemmas.

The Q - Ep. 254 - Hulks Python The Q - Ep. 254 - Hulks Python Fri, 18 Mar 2016 18:18:31 +0000 First we had Evan Gelistico and now his Tag Partner Pierre Abernathy decides to sit down with Mark Bland and discuss the world around us.

    Pierre breaks down how he got into wrestling and the people that he met along the way.  Which eventually leads to his owning and running Anarchy Wrestling.  It definitely was not a easy transition for the wrestler whose been performing for 10+ years, but a necessary move that tested him in ways he didn't realize it would.  

    ​Then Mark starts to discuss politics and the unbelievable staying power of Donald Trump.  Pierre jumps in and discusses his beliefs on the Donald and whether he thinks there is value to him as a President or not. This Leads Mark to beg people across the great nation to not support or vote for Donald Trump.

    Next up Mark and Pierre tackle the controversy that is Hulk Hogans junk.  Well techinically it's not Terry's junk, cause he said that on the stand.  Hulk Hogan is embroiled in a sex tape trial and recently brought up his theory on his penis and who it belongs to or not.  Mark and Pierre ruin their childhoods through discussing this weird stance Mr. Bollea takes.

    Finally Mark and Pierre discuss a little NBA basketball and Pierre makes a absolutely cruical mistake by choosing Michael Jordan as a better all around player than Lebron James.  This leads to a discussion of how he can assume this.  Also Pierre jumps on the HOT SEAT for a few questions and Evan Gelistico joins in Overtime while discussing Pierres unique Ghostbuster and TMNT movie/character theories.

The Q - ep. 253 - Paying Attention The Q - ep. 253 - Paying Attention Mon, 07 Mar 2016 20:43:47 +0000 DEYEMOFO is back on the show and ready to dive into all the heat that came out of the last show he was on two weeks ago.  First up, Mark decides to lead off with some hate mail because....well because he gets a ton of it! This letter chastizes him AGAIN for the SCOTUS discussion a few weeks back and that leads right into the first topic being the Super Tuesday Primary results.

    Mark wasn't paying attention to the winners...nope. He was paying attention to something else much more important that will have impact on the main election in November. You must listen to find out what was so glaring and potentially problematic for one of the political parties involved.

    Then a video hit the social media and media of STL that has taken the Black Live Matter movement off their feet a bit.  Protestors took to the streets in the racial hot bed of St. Louis, MO because of a claim that a police officer held a gun on a child.  Of course this lead to people up in arms because of racial inequality and police mistreatment of citizens....BUT....that wasn't the case at all.  Police camera footage shows that it didn't happen at all and was a made up attempt to stir the pot in STL.  It worked, but backfired and Mark and Justin discuss their views on how this affects the movement in general. 

    This leads to a discussion where Mark once again defends the fact that Stereotypes come in all shapes and sizes...and they aren't always negative and can be very influential in specific situations. This comes on the heels of a Triumph the Insult dog video circulating the interwebz with students who need "safe spaces" in New Hampshire.

    So much to hear and so little time!

    First up is Phillip Andrew Morton, the director of Spanish Lake, a documentary on Netflix about White flight and re-zoning in a blighted area of St. Louis County that used to be a typical area for people to raise their families in. But after the Pruett-Igoe housing projects was closed, those people that were displaced found themsleves in Spanish Lake, MO and the dichotomy of area changed.  Some say for the worse. Crime increased and Real Estate agents came in to make money off fear.  All of this as well as how Ferguson changed the view/or didn't, is discussed between Mark and Mr. Morton.

    Then its back to the old grind with Bobby coming in to discuss some antics and decisions by Super Bowl players prior to the big game.  Also, Mark breaks down a list of the Best Oscar winners and who should have won those years instead! It's a solid epsiode of the Q and there is much much more beyond what you see here. Enjoy

The Q - Ep. 247 - Stan the Man The Q - Ep. 247 - Stan the Man Mon, 18 Jan 2016 15:54:02 +0000 Well it wsa a rough week for the St. Louis area as they lost their NFL franchise, but fret not....Mark decided it was time to bring an old friend of the show back from obscurity. Vitaly jumped on a plane in mother Russia and cruised over here to the US of A to sit down with Mark and Producer Bobby to discuss the Stan Kroenke NFL decision.  Mark discusses how this type of decision making applies to the Donald Trump lovers of the world and how he doesn't think it should be so painful for the STL fans.  Producer Bobby has a differing opinion and the two discuss.

    Then the Bundy guys in Oregon are just unravelling and the people around the situation ain't helping.  They are allowing them too much freedom to do what they want. Mark discusses this mentality and Vitaly chimes in with what he thinks Putin would do in the same situation.

    Finally the guys take some letters from the listeners in Overtime and some questions live on the air.  And Sean Penn got a chance to interview El Chapo and it lead to his capture by the Mexican Government.  Now Chapo is not happy with the Penn and the guys discuss the value of his threats.

The Q - Ep. 246 - The Standoff The Q - Ep. 246 - The Standoff Mon, 04 Jan 2016 17:40:40 +0000 Well the lunatics have taken over the asylum again and this time around Sam Richardson a noted Pro-Wrestler and Trainer from the St. Louis area joins in to discuss all the fun.

    Sam and Mark go back a few years and Sam explains his love of comics and all things geeky, as well as his involvement in prowrestling and beginnings to his career.  Sam is also a comic book author and he discusses his background in selling and distributing a comic book in 2016.  

    But things then switch to the STANDOFF....Oh yes.... Ladies and gentlemen we have a group of Trump loving hypocrites that will claim Darren Wilson was sent through the judicial system and what they decided was exactly as it should be.  BUT, BUT, BUT..... The Bundy family is up in Oregon and they have taken Wildlife Refuge hostage from the federal government with 150 "armed" men.  They did this because they are declaring war on the US government and their friends, who commited arson and were JUDGED in a court of law, are now in jail....and they don't like it! So their answer was to do this.  Mark and Sam are going to explain where the situation stands, whether they have merit to their argument, or if they are just setting up a new Waco/Ruby Ridge situation that will end the same way.

    All this and Mark breaks down a special Hotseat with Sam where he goes above and beyond for an extra 6th question that has never been done before.  Witness this epic first epsiode of 2016...

    PS....they talk about Force Awakens too and may hint on spoilers, so be prepared.

Should we fear ISIS?  This is a major question brought up in the show and discussed at length.  Is Obama to blame for any of it?  This is discussed in detail to.

Also, should the US citizens view them in a worried way.  Should this wave of terrorism be thrown on the souls of people fleeing Syria just looking for another place to live and not die.

    Finally, Mark and Andy get down and dirty cause Mark has been seeing some memes regarding the country's lack of Veteran care in the way of their 50-60,000 homeless former military people.  Mark has a serious problem with this cause these stats are being used to promote anti-Refugee vibes and nothing more.

So the officer took things into his own hands and forcibly removed her from the classroom.  This set off a nationwide debate again regarding the treatment of people by law enforcement, which sends the STL guys back into a discussion on Ferguson and Mark's theory on how to handle the police.

This also leads to a discussion about people with the "Please Watch for Motorcycles" stickers on the back of their cars.  All of them tend to have attitude that is misplaced especially considering the show down between a 2500 lb car and a 30 lbs bike.

    Next up Mark and DJ break down the Democratic debate and talk about some of the highlights...but this brings Mark around to talk with DJ about who he's backing in the election and of course The Donald comes up.  Mark takes it to DJ about Trump and why republicans tend to favor this man.  DJ brings up Obama and some of his decisions versus the type that Trump could make.  Will it be better for nation? Is Trump a worthy candidate and someone that deserves a solid viable look when it comes election time? All this and more is answered on the newest episode of the Q.

This also leads to a discussion about people with the "Please Watch for Motorcycles" stickers on the back of their cars.  All of them tend to have attitude that is misplaced especially considering the show down between a 2500 lb car and a 30 lbs bike.

    Then the guys get back on format and talk about a school that refused an inhaler to a choking student simply cause they didn't know it had been prescribed and the school has a protocol to adhere to. Then its on to Edward Snowden whose in the news again cause he joined twitter and immediately started right back up influencing people via his new page.  This pisses Mark off cause he believes that Snowden doesn't deserve popularity for what he did.  

    All this and Overtime where we discuss Retro Gaming! If you like video games and talking about old NES, the the Overtime is what you want to listen to.

    This leads to Mark and Andy breaking down the St. Louis area for the people listening around the country and throughout the world.  Mark brings up the fact that STL people tend to be riddled with bad attitude and the guys try to figure out where this attitude comes from. Is it upbringing? Maybe? Is it the water? Maybe?  

    Then the two tackle a special story out of the STL area about a mother and father sticking up for their kid at a local park...by pulling a gun.  Mark poses this to Andy to find out who was in the wrong in his mind.  Was the mother being overly protective or just out right lawless?  

    Finally, the discussion turns to Kim Davis. Kim Davis, the Kentucky County Court clerk who has persistently refused to issue gay marriage licenses, has asked the Supreme Court to hear her case. Mark and Andy break down the ill will she is throwing out there and figure if she is a worthless idiot or making a strong case for others.  This in a weird way leads to a discussion about Motorcycle Riding clubs and their backgrounds, as well as their ranking system amongst each other.

    In Overtime, Andy brings up Umar Lee and his mild dislike for people within the STL community in the past year taking sides on racial inequality. They discuss the value of racial inequality in the area and a recent story regarding neighbors not getting along because of loud dogs (go figure in STL).

    Bryce Williams was told in 2012 to seek counseling or risk losing his job at WDBJ-7, according to internal memos from his personnel file.  Williams, real name Vester Flanagan II, was fired from the station in early 2013 after getting one final warning about his aggressive behavior toward colleagues. On Wednesday morning, he opened fire on reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward, two of the people he apparently blamed for his dismissal, killing both of them. He fatally shot himself hours later, after fleeing from the police. 

    Mark, Producer Bobby and their guest Matt Krueger decide to talk about the value of social media being used in murders in 2015.  Is this the first real attempt capitolize on social media for showcasing blame? What has been the ramping up of this?  Did Ferguson and the Boston bombing open this door further and Vester just kicked it in hard?  All these things will be discussed in detail.

    But before that, Krueger has decided that his life was a mess and that his attitude was a real problem.  So he has come to an epiphany of why this was the case, but it doesn't sit well with Mark because Mark claims to have been telling him all these things for years and years prior to this new knowledge...can the guys get to a middle ground in regards to life...find out on this next episode of the Q.

Paul Huddleston the St. Louis radio veteran joins us again for a discussion on the big story of the week.  Evidently a dentist named Walter is an avid hunting fan of big game.  So he paid some hunting guides to take him to Zimbabwe and help him hunt a lion. Well, thats where things go sideways because the lion that eventually gets killed is named Cecil and he's super protected and well known.  So of course this opens up the ethical premise of hunting internationally so Mark, Producer Bobby and Paul Dsicuss.

    Next up, the wierd controvesy of the week happens to be a fabricated and spliced video of Planned Parenthood attempting to sell fetuses on the black market. Well that wasn't the total truth and once the full video comes out, it becomes fodder for Mark to go on to one of his rants about the consevrative movement and their need to spin things.  This becomes a point for Mark to discuss with Paul and Bobby about their feelings on the stories and everything they touch.

     

    Finally the guys are presented with some really interesting letters from the listeners that lead to everyone divulging some of their thoughts on polygamy and mutiple partners. A hell of a way to end the show!

    And there is irregularity afoot when Mark walks in on Bobby doing food prep for his Rollin Around Egg Rolls and realizes that he puts onions in the Chicken Teryaki??? No one puts onions in Chicken Teriyaki except Producer Bobby!  This becomes a running theme on the show as Mark asks Vitaly to back him up....but it doesn't go well.

    Finally, its been a while, but the guys are ready for the next Tournament of Pop Culture.  This time around they break down 32 GUY MOVIES to find the absolute best Guy movie of all time.  Could it br Rocky, Predator, Goonies, Godfather or one of the others...we don't know, but we guarantee if you listen you won't turn it off as you see why the tournament breaks down the way it does. Eventually the guys crown the best guy movie and its a weird twist!

    First up is Nick Bryant joining us to discuss his co-authored book, Confessions of a DC Madam. His Co-Author Henry Vinson was the head of high powered and connected gay liason service which was the front for the government to get info to blakcmail people.

    Then our periscope becomes more offline than online when Sally Periscope calls in to discuss our opinions on the Donald Trump and the 2016 presidential situation as it lines up today. Mark explains just how out of touch the caller is with their belief that Trump will win the nomination and how disconnected the conservative people are to understanding the general malaise of the country at this point.

    Finally the guys tackle pro sports and discuss the fact that the Cardinals got booed at the AllStar Game and that Pete Rose was given then good ole welcome back to the fold by MLB.  All in all a very entertaining show and you will be happy you listened.

And all done live once again for the Periscope on Twitter an worldwide.

    Mark recieves a letter from someone chastizing him for talking about his Twitter verification and how he thinks he's "Hot Sh-t" now talking about it on the radio show.  Mark decides to put everyone on point with the help of Producer Bobby and HD, and he lets the masses know that he is better than them (he kids...or does he).  And, this individual who calls Mark out is a Podcaster....not a broadcaster, which just opens back up that can of worms that has been discussed on the show before.

    Next up, Mark decides to broach the subject of body odor with two heavy set males and discuss the finer points of grooming when you are a bigger person. This leads to the national story of Jared Fogle of Subway Sandwich fame getting his house raided by FBI on the heals of a potential child pornography charge.   The guys discuss the seriousness of the charges and whether they believe that Jared could do it at all. HD is merciless in his attack of the subway spokesman.

    Finally, HD came in with questions. On the backside of recent stories in the media about flags and racial tension, HD wants to know where Mark and Bobby stand on the issues and give his two cents about them too.  Mark brings up his grief poaching argument and the need for minorities to gravitate towards making a bigger deal out of past transgressions than the people that were affected in past did.

    All this and much much more on this episode of the Q!

    Mark and Bobby start off discussing Donald Trumps recent comments about minorities and Mexicans. This prompted Univision and NBC to cut ties with the mouthy republican presidential candidate and the guys discuss if this was a good idea for those compaines to do that.  But then everything goes to hell live on the show when Bobby is unprepared for techincal difficulties and things stop working correctly.

    Then Mark and Bobby discuss 4th of July and the Q sponsor Crazy Cheap Fireworks.  They both get nostalgic talking about their favorite fireworks to shoot off and then the man that everyone loves entered the room....Deyemofo!

    Justin comes back on for the forst time since the 200th episode to vent about conservatives that hate gay marriage and to let everyone know he hates the confederate flag.  Then Bobby decides to pull a card that hasn't been pulled in months on the show and goes for a atheism discussion.  The guys decide the value of atheism versus other belief systems and Bobby tangles toe to toe with Justin on how Atheism and Religion have similar principles.

    Finally, Justin is thrown on the Kenny Kind HotSeat to discuss his soon to be departure from the St. Louis area for his new home in one of the Original 13 Colonies (Eg. Rhode Island).  He talks about what he's going to miss and what he looks forward to in his new chapter of life.  But not before he makes Mark discuss his recent FIRING from Dyanmo Pro Wrestling as Executive director.

    Then we switch gears and talk with Gerogia Page calling in from Australia.  Georgia put on the black and gold for Lindenwood Unversity (Mark's Alma Mater) and played Womens Rugby....which eventually led to her showing how dominate and tough she is through ESPN replaying her clip over and over in their Top Ten plays. Georgia takes a massive hit and keeps on trucking.  We talk with her about the sport of womens rugby and Vegemite.

    Finally Mark goes all in discussing soccer in the midwest and specifically the attitude of fans in 2015 with regard to soccer in the US.  This brings up the attempts by some to bring Soccer back to prominence in the STL and Mark hits them all with a strong dose of reality only he can deliver.

    Then the two discuss the story about Chris Long and his Rams teammate deciding to go undercover for ESPN as homeless people for a couple days. It really is an eye opening situation and makes these two pro athletes change their tune quickly. SPOILER ALERT, they do something....and Producer Bobby explains it in the show.

    Finally its out in the open.  Bruce Jenner has become Caitlyn Jenner and our fine host don't even care.  Mark is pissed that so many people care at all and keep discussing it and arguing about it.  And of course we found ANOTHER moron that claims tea party and conservatism as they try to fight the laws of our land while exercising their freedoms in an AIRPORT while carrying a loaded AR-15 around in the terminal. Needless to say it didn't go well and he took his verbal lashings but these decisions are becoming harmful to our culture.

    Next the two host didn't get a chance to explain out their experience at this years Roller Coaster Race.  So Mark and Bobby talk about the return of the Polar Vortex Dan Walsh as well as some unique aspects of the event itself.  Mark just can't understand how two people running can hear each other through their music and headphones, but refused/couldn't hear Mark asking them rudimentary questions while they were running.  This plus all the fun stories of the event.

    Finally Mark and Bobby go back to the topic of technology and how it can help people in 2015.  The discussion is based off what Mark and Bobby would do as CO-PRESIDENTS of the USA.  Find out all the fun things they would implement as the leaders of the free world and how far they would go to make your living experience in the USA the best it possibly could be!

    First off, if you didn't notice the city of Baltimore is going nuts and rioting over the death of Freddie Grey, a young man that had his neck broke and spine fractured by police as he was being arrested.  The Mayor of the city if saying things on tape and then turning around and stating it didn't happen...but it did.  Plus you have people starting fires and mothers beating their kids butts on national TV trying to stop them from rioting.  It is an amazing thing to watch and Mark & Bobby put their opinions out there about the entire fiasco and where they see it going from here.

    Next it seems someone is always trying to kill off the status quo and car companies are no different. The Big Boys have decided to envoke DMCA rules cause your car has a computer and Bobby thinks this is ridiculous.  Mark plays devils advocate (as only he can) and discusses if making it illegal to tinker/work on your car will fly in the long run.

    Finally, Mark has a letter from a listen but not before he plays a game of Sex Statistics he found earlier on the interwebz. It gets deep and interesting as Bobby is grilled about the average times Women have had sex in their lives vs. Men...and many other questions.  Play along as you listen and see where you sex knowledge lies.

The Q - Ep. 215 - Communication Breakdown The Q - Ep. 215 - Communication Breakdown Mon, 27 Apr 2015 18:39:36 +0000 We as a society need to stop creating moments of hostility so we can soapbox in public for no reason other than our own voices.  Well this is the main topic of the newest epsiode of the Q.  In California, there was a situation going down and out of nowhere a lady starts filing the police and yelling at them for doing their job.  Of course this leads to cumbaya songs and everyone happy.....right?  WRONG! It leads to a phone being confiscated and destroyed, so we will discuss this further on the show.

    Also, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are set to wage battle the first weekend of May in Las Vegas, but during his ramp up for the fight, Floyd claimed that he is equal to or better than Muhammad Ali.  This of course takes everyone but Mark by surprise and the two discuss the virtues of Floyd and whether his background and merits have earned him the ability to make that statement.

    Finally, its been a while and Bobby has upped his game as the two bring back the hot game of GAME ON/ GAME OFF.  Both Mark and Bobby bring a couple APPS/Websites to get you familiar with and then Mark goes for the jugular singling out a section of society that tends to wear a specific look as if it is still cool.  

    All this and much more on this episode of the Q. Real Radio, Real Honest!

With that comes the potential for miscommunication and things to show up in multiple places.  After hearing a morning show in STL read some very similar (almost exact same wording and sentences) letters as Mark & Bobby presented 3 weeks earlier on this here show called the Q, the two decide to sit down and discuss the unwritten rules of radio/media and how you shouldn't do that.  

    Also, Aaron Hernandez, the former Patriot football player, has been brought up on a Life sentence for a murder he was involved with/did in 2013. This brings about a discussion of sports and some of the more interesting topics such as the famous Back to the Future 2 forecasting of Cubs vs. Miami in the World Series of 2015.  

    Finally Mark and Bobby are prompte by a tweet from Ricky Gervais to take on and discuss the world of Big Game hunting.  Recently a female names Rebecca Francis posted some unflattering pics of her laying next to dead giraffes that she hunted. When it was brought to attention by Gervais in a tweet, it create a firestorm of controversy with Francis getting death threats and being ostracized by people in her own community and throughout the world.  But the only thing getting publicity is the hate coming from animal activists towars Francis...there is another gun loving side to this that is now being equally as hateful and Mark illuminates that with this Discussion.

    Then the guys switch gears and start discussing the importance of ICP to the music industry.  Mark goes into detail about his past dealings with Psychopathic Records and Matt loses himself discussing his favorite songs by the group.  Plus everyone jumps on to talk about the "gang" aspect that plagues the fanbase called Juggalos and whether it is justified or not.

    Its also Roller Coaster Race time again and Mark describes to Matt what the Race is all about and how Mark and Dan Walsh looked like a gay couple at last years event.  

    Finally Mark and Bobby really get deep on discussing the situation out of South Carolina where a police officer shot and killed a man running away from him on Video.  The world is outraged and so is Mark and Bobby.  But Mark discusses the context of how this should be view and how that context led to a heated discussion with a well known underground rapper on Twitter.   Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right.

The Q - Episode 212 - Relativity The Q - Episode 212 - Relativity Mon, 06 Apr 2015 18:29:28 +0000 On this episode of the Q, Mark and Producer Bobby sit down with Paul Huddleston and discuss the Indiana Religious Freedom bill that has the entire country in a tizzy.....and rightfully so.  Mark takes on bigots and people that hide behind religion as their saving grace.  The guys discuss the pizzeria owners that are using the new bill to defend their position to NOT SERVE gay couples.  Plus there is discussion about all the potential ability for the law to become a slippery slope and tumble into other risky legal endevours. 

    Then Paul, who is an educator at a major college in the St. Lous area, dsicusses what coming back to school to teach the week after the situation in Ferguson, MO.  Since he is college educator, he was dealing with mostly young men and women in the 18-25 age range and mostly urban based students at that.  

    Finally Producer Bobby puts his finest mark on the show when he gets into an argument with Mark about the word he is using in a sentence and how it is not the right word.  This sets off a googling debate to figure out the definition of the word Bobby is trying to use and how it applies to the conversation at hand...needless to say it doesn't go that well.

    All this and much more on the newest episode of the Q!

The Q - Ep. 211 - VapeNuts The Q - Ep. 211 - VapeNuts Sun, 29 Mar 2015 20:24:17 +0000 Well change is in the air for the Q and Mark and Bobby travel down to their closest affiliate in Illinois to do the show from the studios of 1420 WINI!  But bound to be a great show, the guys reach into the past to bring back someone that hadn't been on the show for a year and a half.  Joey Lawrence comes back onto the Q to discuss whatever is on the minds of Mark and Bobby....

    First up is the discussion of what has been going on with Joey.  Joey has gotten involved in selling vapor and e-cigs.  This leads to a great discussion about the business of Vapor and its recent popularity in the past couple years. They also discuss the inherent risks that has been talked about regarding health and what is and isnt known.

    Then Mark and Bobby go toe to toe once again on religion.  Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty once again put his foot in his mouth regarding atheism and how those people that follow atheism need to have their heads cut off and raped.  Horrible as it is, Mark lays into Phil and this leads to a discussion about the bible and when things were written in context to what people believe.  Very interesting discussion.

    FInally the guys talk about some letters from the listeners and specifically about one from a father that is unhappy with how sports in general is looked at as a way to build character in children.  Bobby thinks the father is way off in his assessment and decides to call out the pussification of Merica, while Mark plays devils advocate and tries to get to the real reason that Bobby is unhappy.

    First up, Bobby is unhappy with how a interaction with another STL radio personality went down online. Mark and Jake play devils advocate for how it looked on both ends of the situation and try to help Bobby see the silver lining on the clouds.

    Then the discussion quickly turns to the Robin Thicke and his recent lawsuit loss regarding his song "Blurred Lines" and how similar it sounds to a song by Marvin Gaye (per the lawsuit).  Mark, having worked in music for 20 years discusses how slippery a slope this creates for other artists from here on out.  Plus they discuss the potential retroactive things that could come from this.  And throughout the show, this discussion rears up a few times.

    Next the guys tackle the dumbest move by a group of politicians in years, as they tackle the 47 Senators that sent a letter to Iran encouranging them to not listen to THEIR Commander in Chief! Then Mark takes on Hillary-Gate (sigh) and the fact that she had an email address outside of hers that is given to be used by the White House and it's staff. Mark tries to explain the ludacris nature of people turning this molehill into a Mountain, when there are obviously bigger fish to fry.

    Finally, Ashlock hits the Hot Seat and discusses some of his more intimate backgroud. Plus there is OVERTIME where the Moral Dillemas are presented again, and find out if Producer Bobby through his family under the bus again at all.

First up is Lia Weber, the winner of TLC's Next Great Baker that brings in a anniversary cake for the crew.  Joining her is Matt Guillot and Chef Johnson of BaconFest STL who graced everyone with some delicious hamburgers and bacon wrapped minis that were devoured quickly. Mark does a quick round of the Kenny Kinds Hotseat with them and can't help but tear into Guillot when he discusses some of his answers. Then round two when Sam Arcobasso, the STL Porn King, his partner Corey and North County song writer Tyler Crandall jump on the mics to discuss what they been up to and to do their round of Hotseat....but not before Justin Deming and Andy Echele square off verbally to discuss the differences in their views on Ferguson and some other lightly sprinkled controversial issues.  Finally its everyone together discussing the entire history of the show and some of their more fond memories of being on the show.  All this happens with a dose of the Year End FOTO.COM Q AWARDS for 2014!  Plus you get OVERTIME where everything rattles completely off the rails.  What more can you ask for in the 200th episode.  We really don't know!
