Well, they set 1000 drop dates between November 3rd and Jan 21, 2021. 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!

Well the insurrection is over and the Trump supporters did not succeed at all. They have become the butt of many jokes, but is it the end of Trump? 

Mike Eise and Gary Weed joined to do a show and discuss the Capitol Riot fallout and other stuff. 

The Guys discuss what is going to happen now. We know there will be a peaceful transfer of power, but will Trump be there or not. The guys discuss the potential for future rioting and insurrection in the US. 

People are online and around the world feeling like patriotism wasn't upheld. Do you feel patriotic right now? Or do you feel like your patriotism is gone. We discuss all of this and more on this episode of the Q show!

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.

10 years in and out. It started with Tony Cabral and Ed Reggie being guests...10 yrs later, we got a sitting American President trying to actively plot a coup against the will of the citizens of the USA. And YouTube and Social Media run the world. Which is a great transition for us, because Comedian Steve Hofstetter who made a name on social media joins us as out 10th anniversary guest. 

It's been 10 years and we've had a few incarnations of the show through the years (podcast, to broadcast, to syndicated and back to a hybrid syndication/podcast). On this Anniversary we are joined by Jonathan May, Gary Weed and Jason Kull to discuss the past year of 2020 and a little about the past 10 years on the show. Due to Covid, we couldn't have a big party and live show for the 10th anniversay, but we can get a show together for all of you. So much to discuss and too much to type in here, so you just settle in and listen to our current thoughts on Trump and his moves, plus the past and a little telling of the future too!

Finally, Comedian Steve Hofstetter joins the Q as a guest to discuss his new book that he has been working on, plus he talks about how he gained notoriety in the world of social media and comedy. From his early days in Brooklyn until his new future in Pittsburgh, PA...Steve sits down to discuss some of his political views and to make sure you all know that this is just the beginning, buckle in and enjoy the ride! 

It's been 10 yrs and the Q Show just keeps bringing it.
