It's New Years time and it's the last show of the 2023 year! It's been a hell of a rollercoaster ride this year and Mark Bland/Jason Kull do not leave you wanting for more this time around. 

On this last show, Mark and Jason discuss Trump and his constant court battles for his candidacy for president. Many people do not want him in the mix and they have brought it to the Supreme Court of Colorado and Michigan's attention. One decided to bump him from the ballot and the other chicklened out and said nothing. Either way, it seems that Trump has a uphill battle in 2024. This being stated, people are on edge and wondering what 2024 will feel and look like. The guys take the mantle and discuss all of it! 

Next up, what made 2023 special was the trash people. Mark Bland and Jason Kull both took out the trash in their lives in 2023 and made huge changes to their lives! But why? Well mostly because of people and the way they act. So Mark and Jason decided to do a Top 5 Turds of 2023 List! Who made the list, and who did not. Is Trump on the list or did others make a better case for themselves. Listen and find out what made 2023 so terrible to these two! 

Finally in a Hail Mary for 2023, The guys decide to leave you with a great Tournament of pop culture! Best Steven Speilberg Movie was the topic of choice and these guys break down 32 movies to figure out which Speilberg movie stands the test of time and represents him the best...Is it ET or is it something else you weren't thinking about. Well it's about to go down! Find out who won on this last show of the year!

Oh it's that time of year again, as the year winds down and we all hunker in for a great winters night called Christmas. 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!

On this episode of the show, Marcus Boston is the special guest. And first up we are discussing all the new updates on the Trump Trials and indictments. Jack Smith has petitioned the SCOTUS to rule on Criminal Immunity in the US when a person is President. If this comes back that he has immunity, it could spell tons of trouble and issues moving forward for the USA. Although a slick move, it could present to be problematic. The gents discuss!

Next up is the TOPC: Biggest Jerk in TV and Movie history. They started with 64 bad people and whittled it down to the 4 most curmudgeoned people that could exist in the world of entertainment. Larry Davis, Shooter McGavin, Biff Tannen and Eric Cartman are going to battle it out to see who is the biggest Jerk of them all!

Finally, Mark Bland, Jason Kull and Marcus Boston tackle a email from a listener that ha his tubes tied but his new lady still got pregnant. He is unsure how to handle things moving forward so he reached out and asked for some help from the QNow and the guys are here to oblige. Finally, Mark rips through a few questions that people have sent him the past week to answer! All this and much more in this episode of The QNow!

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!
