Jerry “The King” Lawler gets a street named after him—and now Brandon wants one, too. Plus, Brandon uses his wife’s toothbrush, gets called out over his precious nap and admits to faking a fever as a kid. We’re also talking cash-free concessions at Nettleton, Gen Z isolation, AI making us dumber and new leadership at NEA Baptist. And in entertainment: Dancing with the Stars, Post Malone’s engagement, and country stars making headlines!

Dr. Dana Watson from Families Inc. Counseling Services joined Brandon and Kelly to what your judgement of other people may reveal about you. If somebody really gets under your skin, does that mean I am secretly just like them and I hate it? Why might someone be extremely judgmental of people they consider lazy? Is resentment sometimes about wanting permission to do what someone else is doing? Why might someone strongly dislike loud, outgoing, attention-getting people? What might be underneath judging someone as selfish? Why do some people have almost no tolerance for neediness, emotion, or weakness? What might be happening when someone is extremely reactive to controlling or perfectionist people? Are all of these reactions really childhood wounds? How can we tell a legitimate judgment from our own "stuff"? Why can two people see exactly the same person completely differently? When somebody really bothers us, what should we do with that reaction?

Drinking Bathwater + Taco Tuesday Trouble + KFIN Breakfast Club [Full Show] by Arkansas' Morning Show w/ Brandon Baxter & Kelly Perry

Monday wrecked Brandon, so he’s trying a brand-new morning routine. We built our Country Music Mount Rushmore, shopped for famous TV and movie props, celebrated Brookland’s smoother school traffic, and wondered if kids still ride bikes to school. We also talked kindness, the struggles child stars face, Ariana & Cynthia’s Wicked reunion, Witney Carson’s pregnancy, Ella Langley’s historic run, Riley Green’s new Ulta skills, and Zach Top’s country favorites.

Brandon hid from the heat, while Kelly wrangled a toddler and two dogs at the lake. Yesterday was our hottest day in 14 years—hot enough to make Brandon eat lettuce and an entire watermelon. Brandon and Kelly celebrate 11 years on the radio, Kelly has questions about her niece’s elaborate sorority experience, and Brandon remembers his mom’s “video vixen” school drop-offs. Plus, it’s National Thrift Shop Day, a Jonesboro woman celebrates 103 years with sweet tea. We’ll also have the latest on the passing of Hayden Panettiere. Megan Moroney surprised her Dallas crowd with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Dolly Parton appeared virtually at a Dollywood event after experiencing dizziness and dehydration, and Kane Brown made an eight-year-old fan's dream come true.

It’s the first Friday of Back-to-School season, and high school football is just two weeks away! Brandon gives up coffee—and fails on Day One—while Kelly’s niece Taylor waits for Bid Day at the U of A. We talk back-to-school schedules, overloaded parents, kids riding the bus and Kelly’s days behind the wheel. Plus, Brookland’s new intermediate school, Brandon’s trip to the eye doctor, country and entertainment news, NFL preseason football, and because it is ridiculously hot, Kelly presents: “How Hot Is It?” jokes!

It’s going to feel like 110° today—and Brandon has decided 3 p.m. is the perfect time for a walk. Does he even listen to his own radio show? Back-to-school pictures have flooded social media—and judging by their faces, the kids are thrilled about it. The heat isn’t just uncomfortable—it can be dangerous. We’ll explain what a 110° heat index can do to your body, car, pets and home. BIG shoutout to Swept Away Janitorial for pledging $22,000 to help provide weekend meals for children across Northeast Arkansas. A Maumelle football player practiced for nearly an hour before discovering a two-foot cottonmouth inside his helmet—and somehow escaped without being bitten! Plus, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson releases a country song, Stella Lefty prepares to step onto country music’s most legendary stage, and Garth Brooks takes his Blame It All on My Roots tour to Washington, D.C.

It’s the first day of school across KFIN Country! Sleep schedules are wrecked, outfits are ready, and Brandon remembers crying a lot. Back-to-school spending has hit a record $43.3 billion. Brandon and Kelly hosted the “Glitz, Glam and Hurricane Fam Awards”—complete with big outfits, big nerves and Brandon’s tiny bladder. What a show! Big day for Jonesboro as A-STATE opened Arkansas’ first public veterinary school, while InnovAsian broke ground on a $150 million facility bringing 200 jobs—and using Arkansas chicken and rice. Taylor Swift makes songwriting history, Miranda Lambert gives $250,000 to animal rescues, and Sugarland hits the road for the 20th anniversary of Enjoy the Ride.

Brandon starts the show checking Kelly’s Monday mood after last week’s shows repeatedly began with “I can’t stand you.” Kelly recaps a weekend of celebrating a friend's birthday, while Brandon reveals the disasters behind his wildly expensive week. Pocahontas Public Schools announces free breakfast and lunch for every student, sparking memories of favorite cafeteria meals. The death of Dukes of Hazzard star Ben Jones takes Brandon back to his Dukes-obsessed childhood—and the Nashville museum trip Kai hated. Brandon wonders what Kelly has signed them up for as they prepare to host a Jonesboro Public Schools event with a script and a promise to behave.

Corning offers free lunches, free school supplies, and late-start Mondays - while Hoxie celebrates its new elementary school. Brandon and Kelly debate going back to school, A-State football gets underway, and Kai’s lost truck key comes with a costly lesson. Plus, Russell and Kailey Dickerson to be honored by St. Jude, Dolly Parton to receive Lifetime Achievement Award, and the country-heavy Madden 27 soundtrack make headlines.
