We are not a podcast. 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? All this and much more on this episode of the Qnow! 

We have made it to the finale of the Best TV Characters of all time!  Four men enter, one man leave! Who will reign supreme? 

Andy Echele shows up to help us decide this Tournament of Pop Culture. Andy is a old warrior at these things, so he should easily be able to help us figure out the winner. First up we discuss Israel and Hamas and the war erupting for the 1000th time in the middle east. This time they are really taking it to each other with 1000's of dead and bombings constant. 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. So who would you pick? Who is going to reign supreme? And if a job was only good 30% of the time....what job would that be? We take some guesses to end the show! 

Jenna Roberson who is running for Missouri HD-63 based in St. Charles County, MO is the guest on this episode of The QNow. 

First up, Mark and Jason introduce Jenna to the fans of The Qnow and discuss her upbringing in north county St. Louis and we find out that Mark and Jason are going to be going to the Field of nightmares Haunted Attraction at Brookdale farms in Eureka. This leads to Mark and Jay asking and finding out about Jenna's love or dislike of Halloween and the entire autumn vibe! 

Next up the peeps get into the politics and discuss Kevin McCarthy losing his speakership after he went out of his way to be his own worst enemy. Now he is without the power he wanted and others are in command of what is becoming a crazy time on Capitol Hill. This all comes on the heels of the Trump Fraud case in NY that already underway. Mark and the crew discuss Trump getting a gag order in court and being shut down by the judge. But is this really the end of Trump...Mark asks the real question...will Trump still get elected? 

Finally it is time for the final round of the Tournament of Pop Culture: Best TV Character of All TIme.  We have had some real heavyweight contenders in this tournament and this show leads to the final character to join the other 3 in the championship on the next show! So you are gonna wanna tune into that! Also the guys grill Jenna on the HOTSEAT and we find out a little more about this Candidate in Missouri!

On this episode of the show we are back to our old normal ways and decided to talk some politics. Mark Bland and Jason Kull are noht here to entertain you for a bit. 

First up, Trump is being ordered to dissolve his businesses and he is becoming unhinged it seems. Trump has gon eon record to state that he wants to imprison his rivals and anyone that he doesn't like, while charging them with trreason. Mark and Jay  discuss the likelihood of all of this and the fact that Trump is telling people out loud the mean things he wants to do to people. It's weird coming from a former president. 

Next up is the 3rd bracket round of the Tournament of Pop Culture: Best Tv characters of all time.  This time around we have Big bird entering the fray along with Arthur Spooner who is the chracter from King of Queens, but the guys mess up and think it is the name of the George Costanza's father Frank. So the guys discuss from the point of view of Frank in Seinfeld. Then again it's a simple mistake and people can write them on social media to let the guys know how dumb they are. 

Finally, what is the girlfriend effect? Well Mark and Jason discuss how having a girlfrined makes you more attractive to other females. Plus the guys discuss some local fare and try to fill in the blanks on some country songs! 

Jason Kull is back and ready to discuss what has been happening in the world. First up we discuss Biden and this impeachment mess that is plaguing the congress in 2023. Next we discuss Trump and how he is his own worst enemy moving forward. Plus we look into how Trump went on Meet the Press and destroyed his only defense in the election fraud cases. 

Then we turn our focus to the Tournament of Pop Culture and the new bracket for week 2 of our Best TV Character of All Time tournament. We have already had some surprises in week one and there are definitely some suprises on this show too! But is your chracter in the tournament yet? Did your favorite already lose? Tune in and find out. 

Finally the guys discuss some RED FLAGS people put out about what they will and won't accept in a person or significant other? Do you agree with these things. All this and more on The QNow. 

Jason Kull is out sick and Matt Krueger jumps in to co-host the show...and boy is this a huge show! 

First up...Mark has a few topics to discuss and the big one that everyone seems primed to talk about is Civil War and whether this is going to happen or not. 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. But would Trump try and become a dictator of the people? Well we discuss that along with MTG and her wanting to have states Secede from the union. And it seems people that don't understand pain, really think they can withstand a bullet...and it mind numbingly dumb! 

Next the gents Take on the next great tournament of pop culture. Mark and company are going to do another 4 week breakdown competition to get to the final four of the BEST TV CHARACTERS of ALL TIME! 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!

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! 

Brandon Saffel of the Variety Sports Network joins us on this episode of the The Qnow. Brandon dons his sports hat to discuss mnay topics.

First up, Mark and Jason Kull have to lay the ground work out for the Liberals moving forward in the coming months and year for the 2024 election. Mark has seen some things that he wants the libs to change moving forward on their trek to the next election. He wants less sharing of conservative content and more focus on building up the people that have a chance at the presidency...but who could that be. Tune in and find out. 

Next up, Brandon Saffel of the Variety Sports Network (search on youtube) joins the show to discuss the up coming football season...but that doesn't last long...before you know it the guys are talking baseball, tennis and all kinds of sports stories all over the world. But slowly they reign it in and discuss some of the bigger sports topics and what affects us today like the Pitching Clock in baseball and who will win the SuperBowl potentially.  Finally, as all guests do the first time, Brandon jumps in the HOTSEAT to find out a little more about Mr. Saffel and what makes him tick! 

Finally the gentleman discuss some politics regarding the GOP Debate they missed, Trumps infamous stupid mugshot and Mitch McConnell freezing up again while talking to the press. And then it happened...the guys decide to take on Ranker Review and do the Best Adam Sandler movies. Was the list strong? Was your movie on the list. Tune into the show and find out! 

Mark and Jason are solo for this show  and because of the Nascar's being popular, the guys have a smaller show this week..but lets get to the goods.

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. 

On this episode of the The Qnow, the guys are joined by STL radio personality and DJ, Sam Hood. 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. 

Donadl Trump is a problem. Jason Kull and Mark Bland are here to discuss the newest in what is the trend for summer 2023, Trump illegal moves coming back to bite him in the arse. And Mark and Jason are here for every detail that is coming out daily about this. Now the republicans are full out going after Hunter Biden (the son and not the president) because they are mad at him. Let them be. None of the world is worried about people with no power. They are worried about the seditionist that is trying desparately to get back into that seat to create more problems for normal people just living their lives.

But before any of this can be dsicsussed...a blast from the recent past calls into the show phone number and decides he wants to talk with Mark. The commissioner of the MMWA Shaft, calls into the show to discuss the past match with Mr. Bland and Mr. Kull, but to also bare warning for the future of Mark Bland with MMWA. Does this go well or horrible...you listen and let us know.

Finally, Mark has access to a list of the hardest Would you rather questions that could exist. Now are they really the hardest ones on earth to decipher? Possibly, but also possibly not. Mark and Jason go through a group of questions and we find out how hard they can be! 

Another week and more things to discuss! 

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! 

Drew Pinson is back to hang out with Mark and Jason and this time he brings some spicy music takes with him...

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. And this one did not disappoint! Tune and find out which Action Movie Franchise stands above all others in Best action Movie Franchise of all time! 

Well Marcus Boston is back and just in time. Marcus is in and out of relationships, so he knows how things can go. Mark and Jason Kull are married and understand the depth of a serious relationship....So lets start there. Plus we have a special guest on the show!

On this episode, Mark and the men discuss the Jonah hill situation. Jonah Hill was dating a woman named Sarah Brady seriously back in 2021 when their relationship ended. This past week, Sarah decided to put out some personal texts of her discussions when breaking up with Jonah and claimed he was abusive. Mark and the gents read the text message that set the internet on fire and discuss Jonah and the relationship. Was he an abuser, or was this honest discussion.

Next up, when in Branson on his Trip, Mark and his family were pleasantly surprised by the awesomeness that was Ripley's Believe it or Not! So Mark got in contact with John DIxon from the meuseum and action park and discussed the brand throughout the years and their multiple locations around the USA. This leads to Mark and John discussing their favorite attractions and some of the things you can enjoy when you go down to Branson to visit! 

Finally, it is summer and the guys been doing things that vibe with summer of 2023!  Well a tournament of pop culture had to happen regarding the heat and fun, and so the newest TOPC: Best Ice Cream Truck treats was born! Marcus, Jason and Mark break down your favorite treats of all time in the ice cream truck and get to a winner. One of our hosts are broken by the results but it was all fixed with some delicious ICE CREAM!!! 

Mark and Jay took a vacation from the radio station for a couple weeks and now they are back and a lot has happened in the world! 

Mark and Jason discuss their fourth of July's and Mark discusses a situation where he had to deal with someone that was mad they were lighting off fireworks and it bothered their animals.  Mark and Jason discuss pecking orders of humans versus animals and whether this was warranted or not. 

Next up, while on vacation in Branson, MO...Mark decided to take the family zip lining and he stopped in at Adventure Ziplines of Branson to try out the Largest Canopy Zipline in the area! And it did not disappoint. Mark welcomes Victoria Voisin of Adventure Ziplines to the show to discuss how amazing their staff and adventure course truly is! Mark also tells some stories of being a larger man and dealing with the ways of the world while zipping through the canopy in Branson! 

Finally Affiramtive action was struck down by the Supreme Court while the men were away from the show, so they discuss this decision and how it will affect things moving forward in the US and especially with regards to college admission. Also Trump doxxed the Obama's and a man showed up with an arsenal to use to hurt them. These conservatives are getting dumber by the day and will eventually hurt someone. And with all that happening, the guys are still able to break down Best Harrison Ford Movie of All Time Ranker Review and find out if the list cuts the mustard! 

With summer in full swing, there is no better time to bring on future hopefuls for the Missouri House than now. Ray Reed joins Mark Bland and Jason Kull on this episode of the show! 

Ray Reed is running for 83rd House District in St. Louis after he was accosted and punched in the chest by a police officer in St. Louis County. Reed comes on the show to relay his story to everyone and try to bring about police reform and change.  Ray discusses the situation, what the reprecussions have been and what is the outcome he desires. 

After that it is on to discussing Donald Trump and his interview with Bret Baier. Trump sat down with the former president and rip off a list of his former employees who are considered "the best" by him and his supporters. The list was massive with tons of people fired or let go by the president while he was in office. Baier also shouted the names that Trump gave the people when he would tweet and say bad things about them after their tenure. The guys discuss Trump and how this makes him look. After that another STL discussion with police regarding a officer that already got a $300k payout and now the city of St. Louis wants it back. 

Finally the USA is large and we have a lot of great things in this country. But what if the states were up for a draft? Who would you pick? Do you want beaches or money? Do you want land or production? Maybe great sports teams...we don't know but the three gents take to the draft board to do the first US DRAFT on the Q show on 1280 KYRO! 

Do you like MEME's? 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! 

Chips and Salsa....Chips and Salsa....we will coe back to that! 

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! 

Failure seems to be the republican party's favorite thing to do in the world. Whether 2020, 2022 or potentially 2024...failing is what they do best. 

Andy Echele makes his awaited return to the show just in time to sit down and discuss our friend Ron Desantis with Mark Bland and Jason Kull. Ron has decided to run for president and it was announced in a horribly glitchy and useless "twitter spaces" promoted by perennial loser Elon Musk. But regardless of the faux pas that Elon makes constantly...does Ron stand a chance? The gentlemen discuss this. 

Next up, and in the same vein, Florida Senator Rick Scott has decided to throw down the guantlet and let communists and socialist know that Florida is not welcoming to them and it could be very violent. Since Mark is no stranger to violence in it's forms, he decides to have a heart to heart with rick Scott. Discussing the way the southside of Chicago is viewed in these tough guy scenarios and how they should be truly viewed by conservatives for accuracy. Plus Mark let's Scott know a couple things on his mind.

Finally, The 4th and final first set of rounds for the Best Teen Movie of all time, Tournament of Pop Culture! This is called TEENS ARE TERRIFYING and focuses on when teens are mixed into the world of horror! You got some power players in this section! Cruel Intentions is often forgotten about, but rarely missed when it was watched by people! But it's not the only player...The Faculty and Usher as an alien is there and many others. Who will reign supreme and what movie is not in this section that Andy Echele is chomping at the bit for? Tune in , download and find out! 

Kim Gardner is gone and that is great for host Mark Bland that has been saying this needs to happen for a while now. 

Pete Kachulis is the guest for this weeks show! Pete comes from humble beginnings in Kirksville, MO where his dad owned the local candy shop! But don't think for a minute it was boring. Pete shares stories of his family and his upbringing in both Kirksville and Troy, MO where he moved when he was fresh outta high school. This all leads to his debut on The Qnow to promote his popular Youtube Channel called "Did You Know". Pete brings in some facts to discuss and Mark Immediately turns it into a competition of who has cooler facts. In the long run, we all know Mark lost this one! 

Next up, Mark and guys discuss the abdicating of Kim Gardner from the St. Louis Circuit Attorney position. Gardner had been coming under fire for a while regarding her lack of prosecuting criminals coming out of COVID. It seemed to everyone that crime was getting worse and people were not being held accountable. So the guys discuss these things.

Finally it is time for Round 3 of the Tournament of Pop Culture: Best Teen Movie. This section is called Next Stop: Adulthood. These are a mix of Teen movies that focus on coming of Age prinicples. So you get movies like American Pie and Boyz n the Hood.  Pete keeps bringing up Annette Funicello and all of her Teeny Bopper movies that just weren't making the cut again Can't Hardly Wait! Listen in to hear all the shennanigans going on in this episode of The QNow! 

Matt Krueger is back and we are doing the next round of the tournament of Pop Culture: Best Teen Movie....this week we take on the Drama Division of the bracket. 

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! 

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!

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! 

Well Well Well, it seems FOX NEWS is in some hot water. They were accused of lying to the public and defrauding american viewers with regards to the 2020 election....LIKE THE QNOW told you in the first place. Then it was gonna go to trial and they decided to quickly settle all the BS before going to Trial. But it gets worse....there are more lawsuits coming down the pipe and the other players have stated they are not going to settle and will make sure all the dirty laundry from FOX gets aired out in court! So that is the big news of the Week on this episode of the Qnow. FOX/FAUX news got in a ton of trouble for lying like Mark and Jason told you it would. 

Also on this episode, Mark is joined by Marcus Boston and Jason Kull, but they also welcome Christopher Miles a ref with MMWA wrestling to the show to discuss his show Issues with Wrestling...his podcast where each week they delve into the world of Pro-wrestling to discuss specific themes that people may or may not be paying attention to in the world of Wrestling. Coming up on the next show, Mark, our host, is joining Chris to discuss politics in the world of wrestling and how the two worlds co-exist with the advent of social media and the internet! 

Finally, it's time for another Tournament of Pop Culture: Best Snack Foods! So yeah, do you ever wonder if Snickers can stack up to Potatoe Chips? What about Trail mix...can it take on a Nutri-Grain bar? Well you are about ready to find out as the squad pulls up a seat to the proverbial table and breaks down 32 snack foods and which one becomes to almighty king of all snacks! People this might surprise you and then again it may not....find out all of this on the newest episode of the show! 

What an exciting week with a lot going on and ton to get to. 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!
