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!
