For the first time in a few years (cause of COVID) we are putting out a Halloween Spooktacular! Drew Pinson and Jason Kull join us to jump in on the special edition of the show! 

First up, there was a school shooting in the St. Louis Area this past week and the gunman left a manifesto. But within that manifesto was something interesting that seems to be a theme popping up. Mark, Jason and Drew discuss the shooting as well as this theme and new way to attack the national issue going forward. 

Next up, Biden is pushing to get rid of bad banking, credit and loan fees. Airline pork fat fee's and things of that nature. But this is a problem that Barack Obama already tackled in 2009...so why is it back on the table in 2022...well conservatives ruined the world for 4 years and now we are here...the guys discuss.

Finally it is the Halloween Spooktacular and with that, it's time for one more tournament of pop culture before the season ends. Are you into movies. What about Halloween/Horror movies? Well then we have the competition for you....we are doing the Best Horror Movie of All Time...so did your movie make the list? Did your movie go deep? All this and much more on this amazing show sponsored by John Beal Roofing.

First up it is Homecoming for Mizzou Football and John Scheper calls in from the game to talk with the boys. Off the top, there have been a few people getting run over in football games in the news, and this past week was no different for the Alabama/Tennessee game the other day. With a lady running onto the field, she was taken down by a Alabama football player and now everyone is all Devante Adams about the situation...but who was in the wrong, the guys discuss. 

Next up is a massive discussion on the 2022 Mid Terms and what is coming up in the next few weeks. John, Mark and Jason make their predicitions on what will be the outcome of the 2022 midterms as well as discuss what needs to be done by the Democrats if they want to maintain or win in November. But John see's it as the republicans opportunity to lose this one. Who is right, well listen and find out.

It's Halloween time and on the Q we live for the scary time of the year. Sure we love the other times, but something draws us to this time of year with the leaves changing and the air getting cooler. 

So on this episode, Jonathan May and Jason Kull join Mark Bland to focus on a few things and give their thoughts.  Up first is Herschel Walker and Kanye west and this cache of new fangled republicans that just choose to be wild, show everyone their worst side and then expect everyone to be cool with it. Antonoi Brown from football (also) gets brought up as well as the hijinks of Rand Paul. 

Next Jonathan May and the guys get into talking about movies and music and everything. Then Mark asks Joanthan if he could remake a movie with an all Black cast, what movie would he do and who would be cast. This leads to Jonathan claiming he would put out some movies called "Blacked" where he directed them and the casts were all black, but super well known movies like Forrest Gump. 

Finally since we are talking Halloween, Mark decides it's been a while since they done a tournament of pop culture on the Q and he wants to do the 2022 Halloween Candy competition. So saddle in and find out if your favorite candy to eat made the cut, and how deep it went into the competition.

On this weeks episode of the Q, Drew Pinson and Jason Kull are back to discuss life and politics with Mark Bland our host. 

First up, Mark has some thoughts on a local newspaper and the relationship he has had with them in the past. They are putting out the same material today as they were 20 years ago, but they are not giving focus to those that truly impact and influence out the market. They hang their head on "movie stars" who got lucky and "music artist" that never give back. Mark and the guys discuss these opinions.


Next up, as we are finally breaching that normalcy that is life, and with people coming back to concerts and events...Mark is wondering who fell of and who is still bringing it. This turns into a referendum on Bruno Mars and where he stands in the anals of music history. Is he The Weeknd and Michael level, or does he run more on Tier 2 or 3 when it comes to power and success within that world. Mark and the boys go back and forth wondering who the larget and most successful tours in music history are and who are the most influential of all time. 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!
