Drew Pinson and Mike Eise join Mark Bland fresh off his cruise through carribean!
When Mark left, the country was struggling but moving forward, when he came back, it was as if he landed in 1935 Germany. Authoritarianism swept through the Supreme Court and they decided to overturn Roe v. Wade. Which took rights away from millions of women in one instant and turned the clock back to a time that Donald Trump enjoyed.
Mark talks about his cruise, but then immediately jumps into abortion rights and the SCOTUS decision while he was gone. This leads to a convo about parents trying to indoctrinate other people's kids into their way of thinking. The only ones that do it consistently are weird christian and evangelical children.
Next up there was a special last minute hearing for the Jan 6th testimonies and committee. They brought in former WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson to testify to a bevvy of issue including Trump throwing plates of food and condiments everywhere. How does this affect the committee...the guys discuss.
Finally Mark takes some opinions on the Roe v. Wade decision and then brings up some questions for Drew and Mike to throw around and answer for themselves. Most importantly, What is america good at? What do they do well that others notice? Find out what the guests said on this edition of The Q!
Well Inflation is crippling the US economy. Mike Eise is here to talk with Mark Bland about this and everything else going on in the world.
First up, Mike and Mark need to discuss the J6 (aka January 6th) hearings. A lot of revelations have been coming out and each one more deafening and defeating of that which is the geniusly guy Donald Trump. Everyone in this guys life turned on him the day after the event and even this hearing isn't doing it complete justice. Mark and Mike break down all the major stories and angles from this event!
Next up Hunter Bidens Laptop is sorta a new friend of the Q and when Dirty wanted to hear an interview with the Laptop, Mark said he'd make it happen...and BOOYAH! Hunter Bidens Laptop is hear to answer some questions and let people know what he has stored in and on those hard drives.
Finally Inflation and supply chain issues are going to lead to another recession. But if Gas prices got higher this time than 14 years ago, then the recession might be worse. But who is at fault? when will this hit. Well the two gents take on this discussion and start preparing everyone for the potential worst. Listen and maybe you'll learn something you did not know.
Dirty Jay Spurgeon is back in the studio again, along with Mark Bland and Drew Pinson.
First up, Mark talks to Dirty about ASMR and this new fad of white noising our lives for the sake of calming down. On top of this, it gets deeper to the tune of millions of people. This walks right into Mark and Dirty focusing on the fact that the millennials seemed to have changed the world...but is it for the better or worse.
This becomes a game of Gen X versus the Millennials on The Q. But it doesn't get that far because one of the people in the game is in total agreement with the other one...but which one is it.
Later on the guys focus on conservatives and what the word "conservative" is starting to morph into. People that used to be proud are now having to watch what they associate their beliefs with because that umbrella and stereotype is getting worse not better. Will people in 2040 even identify as Conservative or not...they discuss!
Finally Mark, Drew and Dirty (aka Clean) discuss some moral dilemma's and then finally there is some XFL sweet bonus info that NOBODY knows until now! WE get the secret lowdown on something Battlehawks fans have been waiting to hear...another nugget of what is to come...tune in and find out what!
Man it's been a week for Ted Cruz. He has made the dumbest comments regarding doors and the Uvalde shooting. He has thrown his hat in the ring to give daily quips about gun control...but nobody is telling Ted what he really needs to hear. Well that my friends is why the Q show is here!
First up Mark welcomes Drew Pinson and Jason Kull to show to discuss the newest developments going on with the Uvalde shooting at Robb Elementary last week. It seems the police were less than prepared and then got a little worried about being shot by the killer. Things that we will definitely address on this episode.
Also, Mark has been thinking that this is the beginning of 2022 summer, and right after is the fall and the elections. Which will be the beginning of non stop stupid commericals and people trying to get everyone's attention for 2024 poresidential election...but who truly has a shot on the GOP side with all these bad shootings and things going on...well the men discuss and figure it out!
Finally Mark and the guys were talking off air what the greatest TV sitcom of all time is. So Mark found a list on the internet and figured, lets see who is better at guessing. So Drew and Jason square off in a game of "who knows better" with the Greatest TV Sitcoms of all time!
Pay attention, this show goes by fast!
The Q prides itself on discussing the latest in the news, current affairs and pop culture. But some shows touch on other topics that make us revisit and discuss deeper the way we are as people. This is one of those episodes.
First up our special guests this week are Alfred Konuwa and Drew Pinson. Alfred is the Pro-wrestling writer for Forbes magazine, covering the business on their behalf. Also coming back for another round is Drew Pinson to add his take on what is going on in the world.
The Abortion issue is still rife in the USA with people attacking supreme court justices houses and making a mockery of most of us as Adults. And this is why the episode is named the way it is. Sometimes we need to discuss things deeper and wrestle with our own decision making process to come forward with the best options. It doesn't seem we are there yet and so for that we are Wrestling with Ourselves for the time being. Mark and Drew discuss this aspect of life and the controversy currently.
Alfred Konuwa joins the show to discuss being a wrestling writer, but also to talk about the business. Mark and alfred touch on the internet dirt sheets and their value in 2022, who you should and probably shouldn't listen to to get your news, some new moves with WWE talent and much more. Plus Alfred hits the hotseat to answer a few questions since he is a first timer.
Finally Mark and Drew discuss a letter from a distraught woman that is dealing with heavy 21st century problems because the past is coming to bite her "date" on the butt. Find out what problem is going on that really is going to become an issue for everyone in the world at some point.
Another week and another Q...right? Not so fast...
This week the SCOTUS decided they are gonna overturn Roe V. Wade and make abortion illegal in the USA. This seems weird to be happening now, as if these justices are the ones to make that decision and make it stick. But a document was leaked and then verified by the SCOTUS to be accurate. So here we are!
Drew Pinson is a long time fan of the show and wanted to see how we make the donuts, so him and Jason Kull join us on this weeks episode to discuss ROEvsWADE and all the things that will happen with this decision. So a lot to talk about.
Plus Madison Cawthorn has been caught in a precarious position and his electable future might be in druthers. But it's weird that the conservatives always talking sexual abuse and pedophilia, but also are the ones that hate all that stuff. Well when you see this video, those feelings exit the door.
Finally Drew Pinson is going to take the HotSeat and put in his answers so that he can go down in Q history as one of the real ones!

Next up the state of Florida and Ron Desantis have a problem with Disney being too diverse and they don't want that in their state. It's seems moving the theme park might be a great idea. all this talk leads to discussing about Elon Musk and his purchase of Twitter.

First up the show welcomes long time Producer Bobby back. We haven't seen Bobby in a long while and it's nice to have him around for a show. Also making an appearance is our favorite liberal Jason Kull.
From there we venture back to the original guest on the Q. Episode one features our host Mark and long time film producer and director Anthony Cabral. Well even with moving and living in Chicago now, he couldn't be stopped from returning to the airwaves to chop it up with Mark and discuss Russia and a few other news stories.

Pam Hupp is a bad bad person and no one knows this as much as Russ Faria.
On this episode of the Q, Mark Bland is joined by Jason Kull and Mike Eise to discuss the newest changes to the Russian/Ukrainian war.
First up, the President of Ukraine has now come to the USA hat in hand and asked for US to be directly involved in the war with Russia. The US has held back recently with the Polish jets but this paints the country in a new light. Kull and Eise discuss the reasoning for Biden's decisions up till now and what the future holds potentially moving forward.
Up next is a special man. Russ Faria had to go to prison and sit for 3 1/2 years for a crime that he did not commit. The crime of murdering his wife falls on the head of Pam Hupp who did the bad things. Pam's lying put Russ in Prison and now years later there is a new NBC Miniseries about the murders and Russ called "The Thing About Pam" on NBC.

All this and much much more on the newest episode of the Q. Make sure to rate and review with apple podcasts and share with your friends!
From day one, Bob Anders has been instrumental in the career of Mark Bland. And with the recent decision to join forces and create Pardon My Podcast...it was time for Mr. Anders to bring his charm to the Q for an episode. And he did not disappoint.
A lot going on in the world and first up is Mark and Bob waxing poetic on the days of yore and how all this fell into place in the first place.
Mark starts talking about podcasting and how useful it is to those out there that do not prescribe themselves to traditional media formats...And Bob brings up how useful podcasting and non traditional internet distribution is for opening up the game and allowing for the Jake Paul's to become as well known as they are.
Then Mark and Bob tackle the mess that is Dan Bongino and the need for conservatives to constantly challenge authority with regards to these internet based companies. Where does the rules for Youtube cross into bad territory with the constitution...these two gentlemen tackle this and discuss who owes who what.
Finally the gentlemen discuss the breakdown for being a Conservative versus Liberal as well as discuss the impending Ukrainian situation and how the USA and Biden will handle this all. Of course this leads to Hunter Biden and his laptop because of course it has to....but that's where all this ends.
All this and much more on the Q!
The Q is known for tapping into the Urban Dictionary aspect of the world and bringing you guys the newest and fresh lingo that is being used worldwide.
We brought you "Soaking" on the "Soakening" episode of the show (ep. 483). So we brought back our friend and former co-host with Mark, BJ Lange and his friend Sara Patterson, to discuss a new thing happening in the world of Jeeps and off roading called OVERLANDING. Techincally its exploring remote locations via travel in an offroad vehicle. So this becomes a heavy topic on this episode of the Q.
As we stated Bj brought a friend named Sara that would eventually have to sit on the HotSeat and answer some questions, but before that...we get into the acting background of both Sar and BJ based on their living in California and dealing with being working entertainers in Hollywood during Covid. This leads to the two explaining the darker side of Hollywood and the things that you naturally have to deal with because of the way the business is still structured.
Finally Mark and his guests discuss the recent twitter decision to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from her Twitter access and block her account from being used. This also leads to a discussion about Greg Abbot (Gov of Texas) asking the federal government for Covid help after 2 years of being Covid deniers and being against everything the Government said or did.
