ENOUGH IS ENOUGH....another shooting in Nashville and this times more elementary school children are dead. Republicans and Liberals alike are looking for answers and wanting to blame people they can get to, and not people that are guilty of anything.
Matt Krueger and Jason Kull join Mark Bland as they discuss and break down this idea of school shootings and what can be done at this point to stop things. It seems to everyone like they have tried the "no new laws, don't make gun people unhappy about the constitution" thing and here we are again with more dead babies and families torn apart by the inconsiderate attitudes of those unwilling to look at other countries that have made the step, well before today. The guys talk about everything with regard to the Nashville shooting. But how far is too far?
This week the gents try a new game called the Ranker Review Game.

Finally Elon Musk is slowly bringing all of his businesses down and many have lost value over the last year. Twitter started at $44 Billion and now Musk himself valuates it at $20 Billion and people feel that is too high. He has a ton on his plate, and companies that have typically done well in his portfolio (Tesla) are also feeling the pain. SO what gvies...well the guys discuss. And also there is some bullying issues at the middle and high school levels in America and the guys try to figure out what is the determining factor for how these things are handled.

Playing from what is the Fairness Doctrine in Radio, Mark and the team are not afraid to showcase any positions or stances and even welcome the opposition on to the show to push their beliefs too.

Plus CRT and a few other topics are on the agenda, so sit back and find out how Francis Howell can stay stuck in the past or they can go FORWARD!
Donald Trump lied about being arrested. He lied about being arrested!! Think about that. Trump has lied about everything the entire time he was been in the public eye. Well before Presidency, Trump has been lying. But this new lie seems to showcase how far he has fallen off. After announcing the lie, Trump asked for protests in the streets and only a few thousand people across the entire country actually showed up to protest the arrest that did not even happen...which makes the protestors look eventhat much more gullible than before. The guys discuss.
And finally, Marcus needs to have his morals calculated. Mark decides that he will bring some moral dilemma's to the show and put Marcus on the spot to see how he will handle these less than stellar opportunities in life. Will Marucs survive the discussion or will he throw everyone in the discussion for a loop and continue on this path...tune in and find out!

Pinson is BACK! Drew Pinson makes his return to the radio show to join Mark Bland and Jason Kull as they breakdown a bracket for the best Video Game Mascots of ALL Time? Now there is a hitch with this episode. Mark and the crew were given a bracket to break down and they chose a topic. They were unaware of some of the options in the bracket, but that is okay because the biggest players came out to showcase!
Also on this episode, The gents discuss that there is 20 more hours of Tyre Nichols video footage that a judge is unwilling to release. Based off the original release and videos, this stuff couldn't be any better and might even have some audio illuminating the reasoning to why Tyre was beaten like this in Memphis. The gentlemen discuss.
And Finally, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are having one hell of a 2023 so far. Trump is doubling down on the FOX NEWS/Tucker Carlson January 6th video footage and claiming it is proof of a setup. Yet he was the president at the time and could have compiled all the footage from the sources and watched it back when this all went down. Hell, even up until now he could have had vested interest, but he didn't and is fannig the flames of discourse like the troll he is. Speaking of Trolls, Elon decided to ignore HIPAA and out the medical background of an employee he may or may not have fired. Either way, trying to play pretend tough guy on the internet backfired and now he might be setup for some massive lawsuits. All this and more on the new QNow!
Legendary St. Louis media personality REAL ROCK TOM TERBROCK joins the show for an unforgettable tournament of pop culture.

Did the album you thougth would win, actually win...We find out on this episode of the show.
Once upon a time, Donald Trump went to Puerto Rico to throw Paper Towels at the people because of a natural disaster. Cut to 2023 and he made another Trip as former President to East Palestine, Ohio to give them water and throw hats to them at Mcdonalds. This was to show he was the leader the country needed while Joe Biden was handling things as President around the world. Needless to say this was another photo op for the orange man and it did nothing to bolster his anti-liberal argument. Joe Biden has already offered the Fed's help in the situation on day 2 of it existing, but the Ohio Governor Dewine declined the help. So here we stand.
Mark Bland, your host, along with Jason Kull and Matt Krueger break down and discuss the East Palestine train derailment along with turning their focus to Russia where it seems Putin is losing ground a year deep into the war with Ukraine. He has decided to pull out of the last Treaty regarding nuclear arms, which means he is going to try and use them at some point. Hence the potential for World War 3 to begin with China potentially backing Russia. And while this goes on, in the USA Marjorie Taylor Greene, a georgia Congresswoman has decided to ask the RED STATES of the US to secede creating the potential for another Civil War. Seems that republicans are War hungry!
Finally Mark puts Matt Krueger and Jason Kull to a test of wits! Jason found a 90's trivia game at the station and decided to see who would be the ultimate 1990's trivia champ. Matt was younger and had more influence in his childhood during that time, but Jason was older and in college, so his influences might give him a leg up. We all find out who the real trivia champ of the 90's is on this episode of The QNow!
Well we have made it. After multiple shows and 64 songs going head to head, we are down to the final 4 songs of the tournament! And we have Justin Deming on the show too! What a treat...
First up, Mark and Justin discuss the horrible actions of Anthony Castaldi and Shaft regarding the wrestling match for the MMWA Commissionership! The match was living up to the hype it created and Mark was in full control ready to level Shaft with a Chair! When out of the blue the Brotherhood sends one of their men down to knock Mark out and then the promoter/owner of MMWA comes down to fast count Mark and give the win to Shaft! How! Only the Referee is sanctioned by the state to award victories. The men discuss!
Next up, legedary STL broadcaster Don Marsh joins the show to discuss his brand new book, The Fabulist.

Don joins Mark and Justin to discuss his illustrious career and to chop it up about the current state of media in regards to politics in 2023!
Finally we are set in the finals for the tournament of pop culture. One hit wonders have been plaguing the show for weeks on end, but we are finally down to our last 4. Who will become the victor and claim the prize as the best overall one hit wonder over the many decades covered. From the 1960's till 2023, multiple songs from the Archies, to Rockwell, to Frankie Goes to Hollywood have been fighting tooth and nail. But it seems the 1990's and 80's brought the heat when it came to the best. Find out who reaigns supreme by tuning in and listening!
The 2023 State of the Union address happened and it didn't come without fireworks. As expected, and as Mark alluded to on social media all week, the republicans just couldn't help themselves. They made a fool of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and that was after he pleaded for them to act with decorum. It really is becoming parliament, so we on the show don't know why they just don't change their parties to the Tory's and Whigs and change congress to Parliament now. But Joe Biden was able to get through and even create a moment of unity...the gentlemen discuss.
Also the 2023 Grammy's happened and Mark was not thrilled with the layout of the show. Not the show itself but the layout for sure. Mark and Jason welcome Canadian Music Critic Mitch Lafon to the show. Mitch jumps in with over 30 years of music background to discuss the Sam Smith situation, Beyonce breaking records, the 50th Anniv. Hip hop performance and everything! Plus being a critic usually runs down more than one path and TV/Film is also on the table as Mitch tells us the show he wants everyone to pick up and watch!
Finally it is the final round of the Tournament of Pop culture: One hit Wonders! We have the last 16 songs vying for a spot in the championship. With strong showings over the past few weeks from disco and 80's mainstays, this week adds some 2000's one hit wonders as well as brings us one of Jason hopefuls! So has your song finally made it, did it get ignored...what would you have changed or put somewhere else? All this and much more gets discussed and broken down on this episode of the show!
Krueger is back on this amazing edition of the QNow joined by the host Mark Bland and Jason Kull!
First up is the story of Tyre Nichols and the horrendous beating death he incurred at the hands of multiple police officers in memphis Tennessee. The guys never had a chance to discuss this one but the video was too incriminating to pass up. The officers have been let go and they are in the middle of an investigation and probable lawsuit which is forthcoming. But the audacity to lie on a police report and have a higher up sign off on it is indicative of a worse issue that could happen to any citizen. The gentlemen discuss this incident.
It's then time for the 3rd round of the one hit wonders Tournament of pop culture. The guys break down another set of songs until we are down to the final 4 (which is happening in a couple episodes!...pending anything stoping us). Did your favorite song make the list? Did the guys vote properly for who you think should move on and who gets booted? Find out!
And finally the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released their list of potential nominees and there a lot of heavy hitters on this list. Cyndi Lauper to the White Stripes, the list has some pretty certain winners in the bunch. Mark, Jay and Matt break down the list and discuss who is deserving and who is not.
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!

So it is time to catch up with the snomageddon viral star!
First up, Ed and his significant other purchased a house a few years back with some land and Ed has been fixing it up ever since. The guys get into talking about the housing structures in the old days of St. Louis looked, and how they try to emulate it with a more modern feel. This leads to Mark discussing his own home and the layout and how it can be bothersome at times.
Next, as the year closes, a lot of things happened in the news politically and otherwise. Mark and Ed tackle the news stories. First the Queen of England passes away and the two reminisce about their thoughts and nostalgia of watching here as they grew up and what she meant to our world. On top of that Russia invades Ukraine and the Jan 6th committee did their thing and people are paying the price now. All this and much more is discussed on this year in review!
Finally, Mark decides to field a few questions with Ed Reggi, go as far as to invite Ed's husband to come on the show in the future and discuss their relationship and life together. Mark has interviewed Ed a few times, but never talked with his husband about the real Ed Reggi...find out if Ed is willing to make this happen or if he put the kobash on it real quick.
Well well well we are here and it is christmas time in the city of St. Louis, Mo. Santa Clause has his list and is checking it twice. Now it's time for him to make a call to the Q with Mark Bland and Jason Kull so he can let them in on what it is like to be Santa Clause in 2022!
Also, The January 6th committee has released it's recommendations for the Insurrectionists like Donald Trump and these are not charges that should be ignored at all!

Welp it seems Mark posted something to social media and it caught him some flack. But it's not that national kinda flack that typically is associated with a social media post...it's more localized and people calling offline to challenge what the post said.
On this Episode of The Q, Alex Elias joins Mark and Jason Kull to discuss Mark's recent post where he claimed in his prime athleticness, Mark said he was as good as any other professional athlete and just as athletic. Now Mark didn't say he was a professional football player and could beat Micah Parsons in football today....BUT... back in his prime, with all things working properly, he was as athletically gifted as a Micah Parsons or other professional athletes. Alex vehemently disagrees with this and argues that Mark could never have been the same caliber as a All Pro Football player....But then Mark starts breaking down his size, his sport, what they wear versus a heavily padded football player....Does Mark change the mind of Alex, listen and find out!
Then Mark and the guys discuss the Brittney Griner prisoner swap where Donald Trump came out and said he could have done the prisoner swap for Paul whelan back in his presidency, but he decided not to do it.

Lethal Weapon (80s), Terminator 2 (90s), Inglorious Basterds (2000s), Winter Soldier (2010's). Who will reign supreme in this final discussion, we are going to find out but first!
A local STL broadcaster got caught with a third DWI. This bothers Mark because of the number of DWI's that this gentleman got. They discuss this and the attacks that Mark endured for stating what everyone else was already saying.
It was a great week for moderates and democrats in the USA. Georgia had their runoff election between Warnock and Herschel Walker. Walker entered the situation talking about werewolves and Vampires and election fraud and all of it...BUT IN THE END...the most mind numbing thing happened after the republicans lost the election. They blamed it on something they did and pretended to be confused by their own actions....The gents discuss all of this.

First up Marcus is back and RACE is all over the news and Kanye is going crazy helping right wing nazi sympathizers get more well known and all of it. Maybe Marcus can make some sense out of all of this. But to get there, we discuss colonization, the former queen of england and how things are lookes from perspective and time. The USA is a very shallow existence with 300+ years under it's belt. But other parts of the world are thousands of years older and have writen history from 3000-4000 years ago. Places in the middle east and around the birthplace of civilization. Marcus, Mark and Jason break this down and discuss Race in the US versus the view of Racism in the world.
Then Marcus lets out once again that he is choosing not to go to his 20 yr High School Reunion. This gets Mark and Jason discussing the time Mark went to his 20 yr reunion and it was in Ferguson the night of the Mike Brown situation. Mark relays the thoughts and feelings of that and how he was pointed out as one of "those people right there" and how he needed to "they all need to die".

Elon seems to have gone off the rails and the men discuss!
Finally, It's time for the TOPC: Best Action movies since 1980 and in this final round, we are focused on the Movies of the 2010's. And Action movies to boot. Which Mission Impossible made the list?

Well to find out you have to tune in and let the gents break down the movies and the bracket for you!
The tough guys are back and ready for this first week of the holiday season!
First things first...JSO is back and ready to talk with Mark and his Number 1 enemy, Jason Kull. JSO starts off on the right foot explaining his most recent championship grab at MMWA wrestling in St. Louis. Him and tag partner are now the Heavyweight Tag Champions and the EGO has blown up to all time highs.
This leads to a discussion about everyone's favorite topic, Donald Trump and this time his former ATTY. General Bill Barr who is now an anti Trump conservative. But the guys are confused at how you can sit there today with this disdain for Trumps moves, while you ignored and turned the other cheek to everything when you could have easily put an end to Jan 6th and all of it.
Next up, JSO decided to bring his wife to the studio and the rule in Radio is simple, do not come in the studio if you are unwilling to jump on the mic. Cause that is a norm in the business. Well Lindsey O'Connor joins Mark and Jason to discuss what the courting for JSO was and the type of game he spit to get her interested in him. This leads to other questions later on in the Hot Seat that JSO has to defend!
Finally we are in the 2000's region of the best action movies since 1980 (barstool bracket). We bring in JSO to discuss this decade and help us whittle it down to Kill Bill or Gladiator or 14 other options that compile to give you a great list of movies in the action category between 2000-2009. So join us as we break it all down on this episode of The Q!
On this episode of the Q, Mark Bland is joined by John Scheper and Jason Kull.

Next its been a week for everyone watching the Herschel Walker saga. But don't fret Mike Pence is right there to also be involved in the game to. Plus some of Trump announcement and things he is going to work on. Regardless, all these sound bites happened in the past week and Mark and Jason discuss what these people are saying to America right now! Like Herschel Walker who's obviously a vampire buit now wants to be a Werewolf. Why? Because Werewolves can kill Vampires!
Finally, it's the 1990's region of the best Action movie since 1980. The first round was amazing and this round has some heavy hitters like The Matrix, True Lies and the Fugitive. Did the movie you want make the cut? Maybe or maybe not...but when this is done we are half way through these decades and have two final four contenders!
On this episode of the Q, Marcus boston once again jumps into the guest seat to discuss his upcoming event where he is auctioned off for Charity.
The soulardians been rocking with Mark Bland for a few years, and now there is one more reason to love them...Marcus the host is being auctioned off to the lovely ladies of STL. But let us not forget....
2022 Midterm Electiosn happened this past week and it was not the RED WAVE that the republicans been stating for months and months leading into the election. Instead what people got was what Mark the host said would happen...a very close election and the Democrats eeking it out. Well the eek out part is still left to be determined because of Herschel Walker and Warnock in Georgia, but the even stevens seems to be in the books. What was supposed to be a red wave turned into a blue equalizer for Mid Terms. Mark Bland is joined by Jason Kull along with Marcus to discuss.
Mark been noticing the social media posts for Marcus historically and now are not matching up the normal way. Mark feels there is something more to this need for Marcus to play up the single life card. Deep inside Marcus want's love and Mark has some important questions that the ladies of the Purple Gala will be needing to hear to make sure they getting the right man of their dreams...or is Marcus a tease and single man for life. We discuss and find out.
Finally, an impromptu tournament of pop culture shows up out the blue for Q. Mark was looking around and ran into a multi-section TOPC for best Action movie since 1980. Now Mark did not produce this one, so it's not his choices for the competition. But is the movie you thought would be there, even on the list of movies. It's broken down by1980's, 90's, 2000's, 2010's. Four sections with a grand finale for the four surviving movies. Who wins and loses. Join us to find out!
Ahh we made it to the midway point of life. The 2022 midterms are here everyone and Mark Bland is joined by a bevy of gentlemen to discuss all the upcoming fun we will have this week!
First up Mark sits down and talks with Mike Eise and Jonathan May about the way the government and elections in the USA are setup. Eise believes this is all contrived and ptu together by the Media and the powers that be to keep the country separated on purpose. Mark and Jonathan seem to think that peope naturally gravitate the way they want and that creates the separation just like in the animal kingdom. Can we get these guy to agree?
Next up, KSDK channel 5 in St. Louis (the NBC affiliate ksdk.com) lends their political coordinator to the Q for a interview. Mark Maxwell joins the show to discuss how this election will proceed forward after the 2020 election denying. Mark and the boys discuss the potential for republicans to use their congressional advantage to bring libs to their knees as well as what are the topics and ballot options people are talking about going into this Mid-term.
Finally Mark and Jonathan bid adieu to Mike Eise and continue to break down the ballot initivatives for Missouri in the 2022 election and this leads to some movie talk. Mark and Jonathan both saw the movie Barbarian and had differing opinions on the outcome of the movie and who the focus should be on. Be careful, they do discuss some "spoiler" styled stuff. And then Dr. Love is back in the house as the two discuss a guy and his unwilling dating partner!
All this and more on this episode of the Q!
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.
