The Left Hook

On this episode of the Q, Mark Bland is joined by John Scheper and Jason Kull. First up, Scheper calls in to discuss the ramifications of the Mid-Term Elections and what went wrong for the republicans. Was it the bad candidates? Was it the amount of money spent? Or is it something Mark brings up? All this gets hashed out and the gents discuss Trump running again in 2024! Next its been a week for everyone watching the Herschel Walker saga. But don't fret Mike Pence is right there to also be involved in the game to. Plus some of Trump announcement and things he is going to work on. Regardless, all these sound bites happened in the past week and Mark and Jason discuss what these people are saying to America right now! Like Herschel Walker who's obviously a vampire buit now wants to be a Werewolf. Why? Because Werewolves can kill Vampires! Finally, it's the 1990's region of the best Action movie since 1980. The first round was amazing and this round has some heavy hitters like The Matrix, True Lies and the Fugitive. Did the movie you want make the cut? Maybe or maybe not...but when this is done we are half way through these decades and have two final four contenders!

On this episode of the Q, Marcus boston once again jumps into the guest seat to discuss his upcoming event where he is auctioned off for Charity. The soulardians been rocking with Mark Bland for a few years, and now there is one more reason to love them...Marcus the host is being auctioned off to the lovely ladies of STL. But let us not forget.... 2022 Midterm Electiosn happened this past week and it was not the RED WAVE that the republicans been stating for months and months leading into the election. Instead what people got was what Mark the host said would happen...a very close election and the Democrats eeking it out. Well the eek out part is still left to be determined because of Herschel Walker and Warnock in Georgia, but the even stevens seems to be in the books. What was supposed to be a red wave turned into a blue equalizer for Mid Terms. Mark Bland is joined by Jason Kull along with Marcus to discuss. Mark been noticing the social media posts for Marcus historically and now are not matching up the normal way. Mark feels there is something more to this need for Marcus to play up the single life card. Deep inside Marcus want's love and Mark has some important questions that the ladies of the Purple Gala will be needing to hear to make sure they getting the right man of their dreams...or is Marcus a tease and single man for life. We discuss and find out. Finally, an impromptu tournament of pop culture shows up out the blue for Q. Mark was looking around and ran into a multi-section TOPC for best Action movie since 1980. Now Mark did not produce this one, so it's not his choices for the competition. But is the movie you thought would be there, even on the list of movies. It's broken down by1980's, 90's, 2000's, 2010's. Four sections with a grand finale for the four surviving movies. Who wins and loses. Join us to find out!

Ahh we made it to the midway point of life. The 2022 midterms are here everyone and Mark Bland is joined by a bevy of gentlemen to discuss all the upcoming fun we will have this week! First up Mark sits down and talks with Mike Eise and Jonathan May about the way the government and elections in the USA are setup. Eise believes this is all contrived and ptu together by the Media and the powers that be to keep the country separated on purpose. Mark and Jonathan seem to think that peope naturally gravitate the way they want and that creates the separation just like in the animal kingdom. Can we get these guy to agree? Next up, KSDK channel 5 in St. Louis (the NBC affiliate ksdk.com) lends their political coordinator to the Q for a interview. Mark Maxwell joins the show to discuss how this election will proceed forward after the 2020 election denying. Mark and the boys discuss the potential for republicans to use their congressional advantage to bring libs to their knees as well as what are the topics and ballot options people are talking about going into this Mid-term. Finally Mark and Jonathan bid adieu to Mike Eise and continue to break down the ballot initivatives for Missouri in the 2022 election and this leads to some movie talk. Mark and Jonathan both saw the movie Barbarian and had differing opinions on the outcome of the movie and who the focus should be on. Be careful, they do discuss some "spoiler" styled stuff. And then Dr. Love is back in the house as the two discuss a guy and his unwilling dating partner! All this and more on this episode of the Q!

For the first time in a few years (cause of COVID) we are putting out a Halloween Spooktacular! Drew Pinson and Jason Kull join us to jump in on the special edition of the show! First up, there was a school shooting in the St. Louis Area this past week and the gunman left a manifesto. But within that manifesto was something interesting that seems to be a theme popping up. Mark, Jason and Drew discuss the shooting as well as this theme and new way to attack the national issue going forward. Next up, Biden is pushing to get rid of bad banking, credit and loan fees. Airline pork fat fee's and things of that nature. But this is a problem that Barack Obama already tackled in 2009...so why is it back on the table in 2022...well conservatives ruined the world for 4 years and now we are here...the guys discuss.

First up it is Homecoming for Mizzou Football and John Scheper calls in from the game to talk with the boys. Off the top, there have been a few people getting run over in football games in the news, and this past week was no different for the Alabama/Tennessee game the other day. With a lady running onto the field, she was taken down by a Alabama football player and now everyone is all Devante Adams about the situation...but who was in the wrong, the guys discuss.

Drew Pinson and Jason Kul join Mark to discuss some of the nations biggest Stories this week! First, Alex Jones ordered to pay nearly $1 billion in damages to Sandy Hook families for years of lies that the school shooting was a hoax. The gentleman discuss this and it leads to one of the best skits the boys have ever done on the show. Next up, The guys tackle the internet in 2022 and how it affects the Gen X'ers vs. The Millenials. There are ways one group looks at things and interacts with the internet as opposed to the other group. But who really is getting it right...and what about social media and the internet that has changed how we approach things. Plus Elon Musk is now getting involved in politics and influence in the Ukraine war, but is that his place? The guys discuss. Finally, everyone loves a great halloween costume.

All of this is discussed on this episde of The Q!

It's Halloween time and on the Q we live for the scary time of the year. Sure we love the other times, but something draws us to this time of year with the leaves changing and the air getting cooler.

So on this episode, Jonathan May and Jason Kull join Mark Bland to focus on a few things and give their thoughts. Up first is Herschel Walker and Kanye west and this cache of new fangled republicans that just choose to be wild, show everyone their worst side and then expect everyone to be cool with it. Antonoi Brown from football (also) gets brought up as well as the hijinks of Rand Paul.

Next Jonathan May and the guys get into talking about movies and music and everything. Then Mark asks Joanthan if he could remake a movie with an all Black cast, what movie would he do and who would be cast. This leads to Jonathan claiming he would put out some movies called "Blacked" where he directed them and the casts were all black, but super well known movies like Forrest Gump.

Finally since we are talking Halloween, Mark decides it's been a while since they done a tournament of pop culture on the Q and he wants to do the 2022 Halloween Candy competition. So saddle in and find out if your favorite candy to eat made the cut, and how deep it went into the competition.

On this weeks episode of the Q, Drew Pinson and Jason Kull are back to discuss life and politics with Mark Bland our host. First up, Mark has some thoughts on a local newspaper and the relationship he has had with them in the past. They are putting out the same material today as they were 20 years ago, but they are not giving focus to those that truly impact and influence out the market. They hang their head on "movie stars" who got lucky and "music artist" that never give back. Mark and the guys discuss these opinions. Next up, as we are finally breaching that normalcy that is life, and with people coming back to concerts and events...Mark is wondering who fell of and who is still bringing it. This turns into a referendum on Bruno Mars and where he stands in the anals of music history. Is he The Weeknd and Michael level, or does he run more on Tier 2 or 3 when it comes to power and success within that world. Mark and the boys go back and forth wondering who the larget and most successful tours in music history are and who are the most influential of all time. A great discussion on the music business and some edgy comments that will catch people off guard. finally, Mark and the guys decide to take on some unpopular opinions and conspiracy. Mark asked the gentlement to bring in their favorite conspiracy theory to discuss and this get's into some interesting things. Was JFK just randomly shot by Lee Harvey? Do lizard people exist and run our government....tune in and find out ho weird it can be in the USA!

Dirty of the XFL/ST....wait a second...nope! You can't say that anymore. Jason Spurgeon of the The XFans show which discusses the XFL and their league is joining us on this episode to discuss a few things that we have on the Table. First up Dirty drops the bomb that they are no longer the XFLSTL talk show anymore. They are now the Xfans show and the XFL called him directly to ask him to change the name of his program. And he and his co-host did do that. So from here on out, they are the Xfans! Next up Trump has been sued again. This time Letitia James of the SDNY has sued trump and his children for the fraud they committed with his charities and vouching from pricing on his properties that were lets say less than valuable as stated. So once again Trump in hot water for literally everything he ever does, which is always pretty shztty. Then the guys discuss a local issue that happened with their sister radio station and a local news anchor. This then leads to disussions on Valdamir Putin and his decision to call up draftee's for his Ukranian war. Only problem is that if you are forcing your citizens to fight and fill in the gaps, you aren't as big and tough as you have pretended. It's all coming undone and the guys are here to let you know! Finally what starts as some opinions that are not as popular as people think, Mark and the boys start discussing the Homerun chase going on in the MLB. At one time we had Bonds breaking records, but those days are tarnished...but should they be. Mark brings up the need for history to show that McGwire and them weren't using banned substances in the late 90's when they hit for those records. So Judge in NY might get there/did get there but he still has others to catch. All this and much more on this episode of the Q!

Drew Pinson and Jason Kull join Mark Bland on this episode where the gentlemen decide to remember the Queen of England who just died in the past week. After decades of reign, the most recognizable person in a Monarchy has passed to the other side. It's such a big deal that they released a press release that states Trump is not invited to the funeral at all. Crazy to think.... Also, Mark is becoming really beaten down about how every time something happens in the music or movie business, it immediately is brought down a notch or two by people being too woke. The latest craziness is people using AI to make the trailer for Disney's new Little Mermaid with a white girl instead of a black lead. Mark thinks this is way way over the top, but also questions why there is a need to constantly play with things on purpose to create division. Mark and the guys talk about homophobia, racism and many other issues that pop up quite often even though in practice there really isn't much that "happens" regarding those topics. And Mark believes those topics are only a focus for a launching point. Everyone doesn't need to complain and whine about everything all the time. Not every Joke is an attack on a whole culture. Some things are just funny in thought and the moment. The world is insensitive and now people are being too sensitive to everything all the time. Now Trump threatening people and the libs are all for it...but it's sensitivity again! The gentle touch on this topic multiple times in the show. Finally Mark has Drew and Jason faceoff in a game of Trivia to see who is the trivia master of the Q. Who won? Who knew more? Which person seemed to guess too much? All this and more will be answered in this weeks finale!
