Q102 Morning Show

What did Tim and Laura do to ring in 2024 in epic proportion?   See if you did the same!   If you haven't made a New Years Resolution yet, we chat with our sports guy Todd about a Guinness World Record you can train to beat for next year.  Also, the most important question you'll "face" today- Which direction to you stand in the shower:  FACING AWAY from the showerhead or FACING TOWARD it?    And so much more!

Tim & Laura explore strange New Year's Eve food traditions from around the world and around the country.  Does MN even have one? What kind of things does your area eat?   Also, you'll never believe the amount that one business lady has amassed thanks to this popular beauty brand.   And even more than that, we finally have a tally on Laura's friend "Gift Card Sara" - just how much has she hung on to with her gift card hoarding?   HOLY $***!  Plus if you've ever wondered what Todd Bergeth's Nearly Naked Hooliganism would consist of- we have the answer!   And so much more...

So, you missed some of this today? Click to listen: Our listeners come through on ideas for the Minnesota Adventure Cards that didn't suggest anything in southwest Minnesota. Listen to get some ideas! Also today, the international wife carrying competition WILL be happening in June! We suggest some strategy. We have an episode of "Am I the Jerk?" a Jason Mraz song and story that leaves us both near tears, talk about resolutions, Amazon ads, Pierce Brosnan shenanigans in Yellowstone AND In The Kitchen...New Year beverage ideas! 

Fruit cake day-a day to try to get rid of the fruit cake you were given? Looking at a list of the best books for 2023, Tim said a certain word in the title is "lazy." That goes for movies too. What is the word? One of the books was Prince Harry's "Spare." We took a little deep dive on British royalty after that one. Plus, a good news generator, resolutions, and shows to watch. Have a listen!

Hey, WE didn't make this up. It's National Whiners Day. We assume it's about not getting what you wanted for Christmas. We did have a gift show and tell today. Other topics today: you are urged to USE those gift cards, why did they original Exorcist movie come out at Christmas? Reports are that "Rescuing Christmas" (filmed in Duluth) is pretty bad, Mariah Carey sets another record, and a feel good story about a lost dog right here in Minnesota.

Laura's expert baker aunt swears something has changed with butter and it wrecked her cookies. Comment below if you agree. We had a local woman, Lisa Larsen Carlson on the show to talk about finding a vintage toy in a thrift store WITH HER PICTURE ON IT! Also, guess the most-Googled person of 2005 (listen to find out...and why), our last Christmas Gift idea that we have both actually purchased, a DMX AI Christmas song, and Jessica Simpson's Christmas gift from her BFF Kim Kardashian. She gave her a WHAT??

We're back after some technical difficulties kept us away from the podcast for a couple days. And it was a fun day! Hear about speculation that some might get preferential treatment on TikTok, HOW many guns were confiscated by TSA this year?? Laura shares another Christmas gift idea. It's a game, that led to our "Match Tim" contest. Finally, why you should sleep nude, and the In The Kitchen tip: how to keep Christmas cookies soft and fresh!

Laura thinks she knows the secret to winning tonight's big Powerball. AND, she's willing to share it! We learned on the podcast that today (December 18) is one of the top 5 days for engagements, we were "moved" by Gronk's National Anthem singing, we shared another gift idea that's great for readers, and a former American Idol got in trouble hosting her son's birthday part at an Airbnb.

"We have coupons so the value of the items we stole drops below felony level!" Not us, mind you. But you have to hear that story!  It did lead to a story of Tim's dad's fatherly advice when Tim got in trouble. We also talked about Pew Research's most striking findings of 2023, the history of ugly Christmas sweaters, and our Christmas gift idea of the day for that someone who likes it HOT!

What is the holiday song that cuts right to the feels? It's on the podcast today. :(  We had some fun imagining the plot of the newest Hallmark Christmas movies, we got to hear Cher's new Christmas song, today's Christmas gift idea worked for "In The Kitchen" too, and more.
