The allegations against Missouri Governor Eric Greitens just won’t go away for him.  Yesterday the FBI was briefed on the allegations amidst the governor’s ad campaign to try to change public opinion.  Host Ryan Wrecker wants to know does it even matter anymore.  After that, Ryan shares a story from Canada that is a case of religious freedom versus human rights over whether or not to wax a transgendered person. 

Host Ryan Wrecker says ‘we should have known,’ after President Trump announced cancelling his summit with Kim Jung Un. Although North Korea says it still wants to meet with the U.S., Wrecker asks if you think it will actually ever happen. After callers have their say, Ryan tells the story of a Missouri high school senior who is now banned from walking at graduation after jokingly posting his school for sale on Craigslist. The reason for the banning was that some parents considered the joke posting to be a threat.

After hearing last hour about the Missouri high school senior banned from his graduation ceremony thanks to a harmless prank, callers share prank stories of their own.  Host Ryan Wrecker then explains some of the latest sad stories from Hollywood including more on Harvey Weinstein and what was really going on behind the scenes of “Arrested Development.” Lastly, Ryan is joined by Jeremiah Brown, author of “The Four Year Olympian: From First Stroke to Olympic Medalist.” The book tells the tale of how Brown beat the odds to become a Canadian Olympian after only four years of training.

Each morning Ryan scours the web to find the best positive stories from around the world.  This morning Ryan shares that President Trump pardoned one of the greatest boxers of all time, Jack Johnson.  After that, Ryan shares an extraordinary effort by the Saint Louis Fire Department to rescue a cat who was trapped in a sewer.  Next, Ryan shares a story that was shared on social media about a fare collector who did a great job taking care of someone who fell asleep on a train.  This leads Ryan to believe the story is fake; in light of recent Elliot Davis story of no fare collectors on trains.  Following that, Ryan shares that Missouri is one of 5 finalist to get the Hyperloop project and that a study is underway to determine what it would cost.  Next, Ryan shares a heartbreaking story of a man who has been selling poppies outside of a post office for 30 years before being told to close up shop this year.  Rounding out the hour, Ryan revisits his interview with Jeremiah Brown about how he became an Olympian in just 4 years.
