Dj Gelner a well known STL lawyer/author jumps back on to the show to break down the arrogance and attitude of bicycle riders.  Their constant need to cut people off, tell you that you are #1 and many other things that get under the skin of both Mark and DJ. 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. 

Finally we definitely do some Overtime and welcome our most direct and eye opening Letter from a Listener in quite sometime.  Listen in and figure out how you would answer.

Gareth Cliff is first up on this episode of the show. Gareth Cliff is a South African radio DJ at his own Cliff Central Network. He currently presents the early morning weekday show on Cliff Central. Cliff started his radio career at Radio TUKS. He then moved on to Radio 702 as a producer for a year before taking a DJ spot. Cliff has been a judge on the television show South African Idols since 2003.  Cliff sits down with Mark to discuss the way Africa is viewed on the worldwide stage and how he feels they as a country should be viewed.  He also gives his opinion on the United States and discusses his career and being the judge of one of the original 4 offshoots of Simon Cowells Idol shows.

Then Kevin Harvell is welcomed back to the Q to discuss his new show called "Whose Who in the Lou". Kevin explains why he decided to start the show and his plans from there.  Kevin Also discusses some of this situation with a Priest that went on records and BLAMED THE VICTIMS AND CHILDREN for alluring the men of the cloth into having sex with them. Of course, Mark and Kevin won't stand for this at all and discuss the world these people live in.  Also, Mark and Kevin touch on the Oregon College Shooter and discuss where we are as a society.

On this episode of the Q, Producer Bobby begins his sabbatical so Mark has to dig deep and bring back Justin Deming (@deyemofo) and Andy Echele to resume hosting duties while the producer is away.

This is an interesting mix because Mark immediately takes ire with something that Andy and another social friend posted regarding POTUS and misinformation.  Andy being the Former military guy has an issue with Barack Obama not properly saluting marines as he disembarks from Marine 1.  Mark and Justin then dig deeper and the discussion goes past the video and into how good of a job POTUS has been doing the past 7 years.  Ofcourse everyone has a say and no one is backing down which makes this a intense half hour you don't want to miss.

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.
