Hot Mornings on Hot 93.1

Houston and Stitch break in their brand new studio chairs while debating what animal everyone on staff moves like, from capybaras to newborn giraffes. They dig into a poll claiming most Americans are planning a secret twist for the holidays this year, and somehow that spirals into Stitch’s plan for a Santa suit. Later they run down dating personality traits that sound great at first but get old fast in a real relationship, landing hardest on the nonchalant type.

Plus, Houston gets ideas after Johnny Depp pulls a Scrooge stunt and yanks a Christmas tree straight off its stand in New York City. It’s a chaotic Thursday full of nostalgia, eight bit beats, and a few terrible ideas.

Stitch fills in for Houston this morning and gets put through a round of health myths, settling the score on blood color, cracking knuckles, and whether sitting on cold concrete can really mess with your fertility. The two dig into Houston’s missing Sega Genesis, a fortieth birthday gift her dad swears he ordered and still can’t find anywhere in the house. And Amelie opens up about her Rock and Rapid City Holiday Special on December twentieth, a night of music and local talent raising money for autoimmune disease research.

It’s Devil’s Night and Stitch wants Houston in costume, pitching him everything from a Vikings jersey to a mullet wig, while Houston insists he’d rather get his steps in than sweat through a costume at tonight’s Creepy Crawl. Stitch realizes a little too late that her green Power Ranger jumpsuit has zero bathroom strategy built in. And the two dig into which celebrities are cutting their kids off from the family fortune, landing on Shaq’s rule that you need three degrees before you touch his cheese. Tonight’s the night, so get downtown and get weird with them.
