Well still in the bunker until January 2nd but that is okay, we are slowly drawing back to our situation with 105.3 KYRO and FOX News. After being told to take a break because of cussing on the air from a guest...and because we are liberal in our stances and Kamala lost the election....the first STL people to be suspended by the Feds....which makes us the HOWARD STERN of the 2020's. The Liberal rogan. For sure! So get on the train now while you can, we are taking off with this thing!

On this episode It is christmas, Evidently it's Christmas for Elon Musk too because he has decided to make himself president of the United States and then order Congress to do things that they should never listen to an unelected official. So now we walk into 2025 with the president of the United States having dementia and a bunch of people who were not elected making all the decisions.

 On top of this you have all the Matt Gaetz stuff that just came out that we were right about on this show for two straight years. All of his Congressional colleagues investigated him and found out that he was the child abusing sex predator that many in that party aspire to be. But why can't they figure these guys out under their noses? 

Finally it is the Xmas Show, and we discuss some Christmassy stuff as opposed to our typical political discussion! 

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

In the latest episode of The QNow, hosts Mark Bland and Jason Kull dive into the unraveling of Trump’s empty promises as he preps for a potential second term. Before even reclaiming the presidency, Trump’s Project 2025 is a clear sign of betrayal: slashing Social Security, gutting Medicare, and prioritizing corporate profits over the very voters who elected him. Mark and Jason lay out the facts and expose the consequences of these policies for everyday Americans, particularly in red states like Missouri, where the impact will be severe.

But it doesn’t stop there. The duo also tackles the growing influence of Elon Musk, dissecting how his unchecked power and agenda could reshape society in troubling ways. From pushing his political beliefs to flexing his influence on platforms like X, Elon’s rise is as dangerous as it is unchecked.

Engaging, unfiltered, and bold, Mark Bland and Jason Kull deliver another thought-provoking episode packed with hard truths and sharp analysis. Don’t miss The QNow—where we cut through the noise and get to the heart of the issues that matter. Available now on all streaming platforms!

On this week’s episode of The QNow, Mark Bland and Jason Kull dove into an eclectic mix of topics that showcased their sharp wit and unfiltered commentary. The discussion kicked off with a look at DOGE and a playful take on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Mark and Jason envisioned this satirical department as a reflection of bureaucratic absurdities, highlighting the challenges of holding public institutions accountable. The segment combined humor and critique to emphasize the need for better governance.

Next, the conversation turned to a controversial move by Elon Musk—dubbed “Ironbolt”—and his alleged involvement in cutting Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. The hosts dissected the potential motivations and repercussions of such a decision, critiquing how billionaires like Musk can wield outsized influence over policy. Mark emphasized the ethical implications, while Jason offered insights into how veterans might mobilize in response.

The episode reached a dramatic peak with a segment on the "United Healthcare Assassination" of Brian Thompson and the subsequent manhunt. This mysterious figure, reportedly linked to the insurance giant, became a metaphor for the frustrations Americans face with the healthcare system. Mark and Jason discussed the pervasive inequities in healthcare, using the "assassination" and ensuing manhunt as a tongue-in-cheek symbol for the bureaucracy that undermines patient care.

Well it has been a whirlwind of a week for Mark and Jason the purveyors of our show. After the Thanksgiving show they were told by the station head that the FCC was alerted to them and their cussing and liberal ways on this FOX station. And evidently after a conversation from Arlington, VA....Mark and Jason were removed from the radio. So this show is more a break down of what happened and how we view the entire situation. I'm sure other broadcasters will find out the truth for themselves and probably end up in the same boat we are with it. 

As of the taping of this show, the gentlemen DID NOT KNOW their fates.

Why is it Mark and Jason work so hard to help that which they think is proper, just to have them never help back. The men discuss what did and didn't happen in the 2024 election.

Next up was the tournament of pop culture for the best movie villain ever. Mark, Jason, and Don break down some of the greatest movie villains that have ever existed and try to figure out who is the best overall. When the guys get to their main event of the tournament that's when everything goes sideways for the Q now as a show! Listen as the internet breaks over 3/4 of a cuss word we bleeped out.

 Finally the entire country was talking about the fact that Mike Tyson and Jake Paul faced off in what was deemed one of the more boring boxing matches of History. Plus one of the worst streaming debacles of current history. It was very tough to watch Mike Tyson not fall back into his prior iconic form. And the guys decide to give their two cents on what they thought about the most watched boxing match of the last 20 years. 

In this week’s episode of The QNow, Mark and Jason dive into a jam-packed session of hot topics, bold opinions, and unfiltered fun!

 All this and much more on this new episode of The Qnow!

Mark Bland and Jason Kull welcome nobody on this episode of the show so sit back and enjoy the ramblings of these two! 

First up JD Vance straight out admits that they lied about the "eating dogs and cats" thing (the thing that Trump and him have claimed since the debate). This admission comes on the heels of Trump making up things about his debate performance and other assorted campaign mishaps. The guys discuss lying and how it seems to always come from one party and not the other. Where the republicans outright lie about fake things that son't exist. Democrats just let them down and that is what makes them liars. Dems work on big problems that fall short. That is not lying.

First up, the second debate in the presidential election happened, and well lets say Trump didn't come off as Glowing as he could have. At one point ranting about people eating their pet dogs and cats. At another time getting fact checked on the same information or one of the many other things he got stopped on. It definitely was a better look for Kamala Harris who kept the heat on and definitely got under Trumps skin. 

Next Jared Young is a Senate hopeful in the state of missouri who has his work cut out for him against Lucas Kunce and Josh Hawley. Jared sits down to discuss his background, uprbringing and the type of candidate that he will be for the people of Missouri.

Next up, the guys discuss the situation at Arlington National Cemetery with Trumps security detail (secret service) and a story about an altercation and Trump's people showing a woman. And Mark explains that it sums up the campaign in 2024 so far for Trump...."pushed a woman". Everything republicans do makes them look weak and inefficient constantly.

Will someone destroy someone else? Are the clues too hard or easy? All of this and much more is  awaiting you in this episode of the The Qnow! 

Man oh man was the state fair a fun watch. Lucas Kunce and Josh Hawley decided to face off in the most absurd wanna be debate of any senators career! It was amazing to watch and Jenna Roberson is here to discuss it! 

First Up is the Hawley/Kunce debacle. Josh Hawley decided to find Lucas Kunce at the Missouri State Fair and ambush him with a camera crew trying to get him to debate him live. Hawley wanted a Lincoln Douglas style debate and Kuntz just wanted to argue with Holly about how he's not the right man for the job. In the end everybody was given a lot of funny things to watch.  Mark Bland, Jason Kull and Jenna Roberson discuss.

Next up it seems that schools are a hot bed of issues in the USA. Currently the Francis Howell School Board is off it's rocker and trying to ban books like it is 1950. Trump is claiming they are going to do away with the Dept of education. And it's a major point of contention between Jenna Roberson and her November opponent. The guys discuss these aspects and try to figure out if there's any value to getting rid of the Department of Education.

 Finally have you ever thought of mayonnaise as a sweet smell that you'd love to rub all over yourself for a special someone? Well Will Levis of the Tennessee Titans has designed a cologne that smells like mayonnaise. The guys discuss if this is even something worth people's time.

Next up we have a tournament of pop culture for the best Marvel character in the MCU. Jonathan considers himself sort of a savant when it comes to the Marvel Universe and so we wanted to really put it up to him and see what he thought about the best characters overall. Could it be Spider-Man, could it be the Hulk? What about Thor or even Stan Lee himself. Download and find out!

 Finally there are a lot of deadly jobs in the world but there are only six that top the list. Do you do one of these jobs? Would you be willing to do one of these jobs? The crew breaks down the list and we find out what are the most dangerous jobs on planet Earth in 2024.

On this Episode of the QNow we welcome political candidates Liz Callahan and Amanda Taylor running in Missouri for House district 103. Also Jenna Roberson steps back in to hang out and chat. 

Joe Biden has exited the 2024 Presidential Race and Republicans are heated that he can choose not to run for president. It's because their guy looks like the old and dementia ridden candidate at this point. The guys discus all the ramifications and what the future is looking like for the USA! 

Amanda Taylor and Lizz Callahan are running for State House District 103 in the St. Charles County area! These two amazing ladies jump in to discuss their campaigns and some of the topics they are focusing on in the up coming August 6th primary election! Affordable Housing, Social Justices and many more topics are on the table as both these two join the show to get the word out! 

Finally, there are appetizers and then their are finger foods. Both seem to be in the same vein, but maybe there is slight differences.

Will Pizza reign supreme, what about Chocolate Strawberries...so many options...all figured out on this episode! 

On this episode of the show, Andy Echle Joins to discuss the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and going out to Vegas to play in the World Series of Poker.

First up, Donald Trump was almost assassinated by a man name Thomas Crooks. Crooks was able to get on a roof of a building and take a few shots at the former President. The guys discuss the events that took place and how this bodes for the country moving forward in the 2024 election. 

Next up, is the Republican National Convention and all the stories coming out of it. Even the boring Trump speech at the end. But before all that, JD VANCE was picked as the VP candidate to go along with Trump. Mark and the guys seem to think that JD is a yes man and that he brings nothing of value to the table. The gentlemen discuss this new nominee pick! 

Finally, there are ways to tell if someone is very intelligent. How many of these things do you tick off on the list...so how intelligent are you? And Andy discusses his trip out to Las Vegas to play in the World Series of Poker tournament. Now Andy didn't win the millions of the main table, but he held his own when had to play...plus he discusses being sick while on vacation...which always sucks! 

Welcome welcome welcome to another amazing episode of The Qnow with Mark Bland and Jason Kull. This weeks guest is former candidate and political advisor to the show John Scheper! 

First things first, it seems that Biden is still battling the demons from the Debate a few weeks ago. Everyone wants him to step down and/or pivot to another candidate. But are there any that could potentially handle the onslaught from the Trump supporters. The guys discuss the debate, and the options on the board for Biden moving forward.

Next up it seems that Project 2025 (we discussed on the last show) is gaining a ton of steam from the right people. It looks a like a doom and gloom novel that republicans seem to be alright with. It strips people of many services including public education? Now are they really gonna try and find a baby sitter now, when their kids were fine in school as it stands currently? 

Finally we have three so we are doing the Mid-summer classic Tournament of Pop Culture. This time we focus on baseball movies and which one is the best overall. Mark saw this bracket broke down somehwere else and couldn't believe that one movie beat all the others. The Qnow is setting out to prove what is the best overall baseball movie of all time! 

Jenna Roberson is back to discuss her running for a seat with the Missouri State House of Reps and joining to help  breakdown Project 2025. 

First up, There was a presidential debate and everyone knows that Biden looked bad, but the guys and gals breakdown more of this debate and put the proper context on how things should be viewed. Yes, Biden is old, but he answered the questions. Trump is also the same old and he didn't answer any of them really. Would you rather have a focused leader or some idiot that is all over the place. They will discuss.

Trump is battling tons of issues right now, but the SCOTUS just decided that they are unwilling to hear the Trump immunity case before the election in November. Problem for everyone is that this is pretty open and shut. But with this new decision, it's making people think that the president gets unlimited power and control. Which makes Trump look dangerous and bad person. 

Finally, Project 2025 is a sycophant's fever dream of revamping the federal government into a conservative windfall. Replacing all employees with ones only loyal to the republican party and Trump (currently) as well as forcing other issues and creating a generally not useful government system. It's really a scary thing and the guys talk about all the aspects and whether this will come to pass or not. 

The debates are upon us and everyone is chomping at the bit to find out what is going to happen. 

First up, Mark and Jason Kull decide to do a little housekeeping and promote a parade walking event in the St. Louis area for multiple municipalities. But when we start talking, we start discussing. And when that happens we want news of the week. This week Trump lost a few keep battles for primaries and they were some eye opening losses. Especially since he has a favorable Republican national position. But alas, Trump lost those players because they got primaried. This leads to talk of Boebert, MTG and reckless people on the fringe of politics. 

Next up It's a Tournament of Pop culture: Best 2000's Comedy movie. Oh yes, the movies that brought Rated R comedy back to the movie theaters. And we have 4 strong sections: Will Ferrell, Jud Apatow, Teen and Wildcard. Which movie will stand above the others as the best comedy of the 2000's. Well tune in and find out. 

Finally, Quid Pro Quo is a bad thing. But with current SCOTUS members being chastised for accepting LAVISH GIFTS (their words) for services to help their businesses through the courts...It looks like the court is able to be bought. Only after Trump did the world even consider the court could be bought. Mark and Jason look at this new decision where they made it legal to accept gifts for services. As long as they don't say what the service is today, and wait a while to throw you a couple bones for it. Our country is literally a cheap house for sale at all times. Crazy this is 2024.

Transition is a part of life. It can be difficult. But not for the best radio duo in the STL  and on FOX News KYRO! 

No guest this week, so it's just Mark and Jason. But to start things off, it seems Trump is in more trouble with moves he has been making in business. This time regarding his campaign and a company that recieved 3.1 Million in donations in 6 total months. The company is not known to be in the Political game, but it's Trumps war chest that paid out the money to them. The guys discuss!

Up next might be the craziest story we have ever discussed on this St. Louis based radio program in it's history. This give the werewolf show with Jonathan a run for it's money! Cori Bush is a Congressional Rep from St. Louis City. Cori Recently went on an interview and stated that she can heal people through touch. Like jesus. She even recounted the story for PBS and their news division...which led to a viral clip of her explaining she can do it. It's wild and make Jay and Mark ask so many other questions...take a listen and enjoy this ride. 

Finally a Ranker review was what was in order for this episode. And the guys deliver on this promise at all levels. This might be one of the best topics ever. Best Action Movie Duo's/Partners! There are so many great action movies...Tango and Cash...Riggs and Murtaugh...Dom and Brian. With so many options and some iconinc ones in there, it is tough to figure out if this list holds up or falls apart. Find out on this episode of the QNow. 

Susan Shumway joins the show to talk about running for state congress in Missouri's 108th district! 

First up, state politics always baffles the minds of our stalwart national politico's such as Jason Kull and Mark Bland. But not for Jenna roberson who is also a candidate and running for a state representative position too. But why do the idiots act the way they do. The team discusses and then onto the real game, can Jenna get a debate with her oppoenent at all for their upcoming matchup? Everyone discusses! 

Next up, Reverend Susan Shumway is in the middle of her third attempt at office but that has only made her stronger and smarter regarding campaigning. Susan joins to discuss growing up and where the penchant to jump into politics comes from. Susan also puts forth her positions and stances for Heatlhcare, Abortion and Education...along with many other things she wants to focus on once she wins in November.

Finally it was Hunter Bidens day in court, but to what extent did it help his family???  Well it did not. It made Trump look more guilty and like the system was still working good...and...it helped the democrats moving forward with their arguments against Trump. But Hunter didn't want to spend 25 yrs in prison and this was not some false flag black op BS thiing the republicans made up to try and downplay Biden's issues. The team discusses the impact moving forward toward November!
