Dr. Dallas Stevens is a doctor of decadence and beating people up. As one half of the Junkies for Fame in MMWA, Stevens and his partner JSO are the current MMWA Heavyweight Tag Champs! Where JSO has been on the show multiple times, Stevens has yet to grace Mark and Jason Kull with his presence. He wanted to make sure the show lived up to his quality of standards before becoming involved.  But here we are and the Junkies for Fame are the guests on this episode of The Qnow.

Also, Mark and Jason decide to talk about REC centers and their value in society in 2023. If you have been to one recently you know they are built to the gills with gyms, ice rinks, pools, parks surrounding and a ton of other things. All this comes with a price for upkeep and more...so Mark and Jason discuss their pricing and need in the 2020's.

Also it seems Kevin McCarthy is really butt hurt about people have positions on committees in the new congress after they impeached Trump YEARS AGO. But that petty republican STL styled hate is just fuming in the barely speaker of the house. So he is taking people like Adam Schiff and Ihan Omar off their duties because he is mad. Little do they pay attention to the optics. 

Finally the Junkies for Fame and Dr. Dallas specific are new to the QNow. So Dallas must enter and answer on the Hotseat! Always a fun few questions to help us get to know the former firefighter and current tag team champion!

It's 2023 and this year is already bringing fist fights and problems for the host of the Q, but sometimes in moments of pity, great things happen too! 

Justin Deming has been handling life in the Northeast for a few years now and with some family things to handle, he makes a trip back to the midwest and his home town when he gets a chance. Out the Blue Justin decided to show up for the Q and we couldn't be happier to welcome him back for the show. 

First up it seems the crazy over the top aspect of republicans is starting to become more noticeable. In Missouri they made sure that the female also wore suit jackets like the MEN, because they need their women to represent being more manly in the state government. Well it's not only here, but  in Florida Ron Desantis is creating all kinds of issues with CRT and Trans discussions and all of it...why? Well we really don't know but the men discuss these and a few other states attacking really marginal and weird things. 

Next up is the 2nd round of the TOPC: Best One Hit Wonder. In the last round many great candidates put their name in the ring but only one can out on top. This time around Just A Friend, Cotton Eye Joe and few others throw their name in the ring to find out what is the best one hit wonder according to the QNow and if you don't like what you see, you can play along at home. 

And finally Mark once again had issues at MMWA but they decided to offer Mark a opportunity he could not pass up. Commissionership of the MMWA. Anthony Castaldi the head of the organization challeneged Mark to take on Shaft for control of the right hand of power. With it Mark and the Kings of Revolution can position themselves better for control and moves within the organization. So everything seems to be on the line for their upcoming Feb 11th match. But Mark and the boys discuss all of it!

Well well well, the new year has come and gone and we are into the new year solid at this point. A few weeks have passed and special guest comes out the woodwork to find out how we have been on the show, and a welcome surprise it is. Matt Krueger comes out of slumber and decides that he would like to catch up with us for the first time since the big 500th episode. So we glady welcome him back into the fold and onto the show as our guest. Jason Kull returns to hang out and discuss some Santos and a tournament of pop culture we are working on for the future. 

First up, Mark needs to discuss some issues he is having at MMWA wrestling regarding his position as the Asst. Commissioner and some stuff a group named the Brotherhood has been doing since he started. Mark feels wronged because he saw his bosses unhappy about the results of title matches and it was always the brotherhood ganging up on people. Now Mark is in athe middle of a funk because hie attempt to even the score and make owner Anthony Castaldi happy backfired a bit...and because of the Commissioner over the top of Mark...Shaft. The guys discuss.

It took 40000 (15....lol) votes for Kevin McCarthy to become the speaker of the house. But after caving to the complainers that are the Trump holdouts and people against Trumps influence in the Republican party, McCarthy can finally try and start to do a bunch of worthless investigations into "liberal/democratic" things. Most importantlythe FBI and who they are looking at and what they know about the republicans with regards to Jan 6th and the illegal things they asked for pardons on. It's not looking good for republicans. 

And in the end, Mark and Jason decide to do a Tournament of Pop Culture focused on one hit wonders, but there are so many they can do a 5 part episode breaking them all down to find the best #1 One Hit Wonder of all time. So Round one starts on this show today! All this and much more on this episode of The Q!
