While most people just know Billy Bob Thornton from his day gig as an award winning actor...WE here on the morning show have grown to know him over the last 18 years at one of the founders of the genre-bending band The Boxmasters.
And over the years, the band has found a home here in KC at Knuckleheads...becoming their favorite place to play in the country!
And now, hot on the heels of the release of their new album, "Love & Hate in Desperate Places", the band are coming to their home away from home this Saturday night...and filming the performance for a new documentary!

Growing up in Overland Park, Darren Lynn Bousman loved the feel, culture and experience of the haunted houses in KC's West Bottoms...and that young man went on to direct such films as Saw 2, 3 and 4, as well as the 9th film in the franchise, Spiral.

In 2016, he started to develop immersive experiences that grew from his early love of haunts...and now he's partnered with Exiled in Bonner Springs to bring KC a next level experience unlike any other!

The world has been watching as astronauts Barry Wilmore and Suni Williams' 8 day mission to the ISS aboard the Boeing Starliner has turned into an ordeal that will leave them stuck staying on the ISS until FEBRUARY!
And so, as is always when we have questions about all things space travel, we turn to our friend, retired astronaut Clayton Anderson, for informed answers!

Some on the Morning Show love Katee Sackhoff for her work on Battlestar Galactica...others love her from The Mandalorian...but we ALL love her for work as Bitch Pudding on the animated series, Robot Chicken...not to mention her love of motorcycles and more...add it all up and she's perfect and she'd definitely one of us!

Nerds like us know Aisha Tyler from her work on "Archer" and in "Balls of Fury"...prime time viewers know her from "Friends" and "Criminal Minds"...and we here on the show have always had the hots for her no matter what she's in.

And now that she has her own booze brand, an organic margarita named Losophe, she just went even higher on our list!
And we talked to her about that, the upcoming season of Criminal Minds: Evolution and more!!

FACT: Former Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has opinions.
ALSO FACT: He is not afraid to share them with you.

Few people in show business have fought their way to the top of their profession and, when the bottom dropped out, fought as hard to stay relevant and in the game as Dee Snider has.
And because of those fighting instincts, he has never shied away from speaking his mind...and we love him for that,

It's been a minute since we've given y'all some rubber lovin', so we were bringin' the heat this morning...literally!!

It's THE ADULT TOY PRICE IS RIGHT....brought to you, as always, by Moonlight Adult Boutique!

There's a whole lot of ways to make money via a side hustle...but Texas native Tiffany She'ree turned what started out as a hobby into a full time gig dumpster diving and selling her finds online or at yard sales...and last year, she pulled in $80,000!!!!!

It may still be summertime…but the whole damn city is ready for football and to watch our boys start their run toward another Super Bowl win!!
And, as always, when it comes to talkin’ football, we always defer to a man who knows WAY more about football than we do…former Chiefs QB, Trent Green!
And with the first preseason game happening this Saturday, we had to get Trent on the phone to get a look at what we can expect this year, the Olympics, world travel and much more!!

In 1989-90, the duo of Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus, aka Milli Vanilli, were one of the biggest things in the music industry.
Their multi platinum debut album spawned numerous chart topping hits, including 3 number one singles...eventually earning them a Grammy.
But all of that changed when it was discovered that, not only were they lip syncing...they hadn't even sung a single note on the album!

And the ensuing scandal saw them go down in flames unlike any musical act before them.

And now the whole sordid tale is told in the new biopic, Girl You Know It's True...and we talked to Patrice Morvan all about it this morning.
