The Left Hook

Oh here we are. Took 12 years and hours and hours of talking to get to this point, but we are at 500 Episodes. A Show so big I had to split it into 2 episodes just to get the people involved that we wanted and needed. First up the show welcomes long time Producer Bobby back. We haven't seen Bobby in a long while and it's nice to have him around for a show. Also making an appearance is our favorite liberal Jason Kull. From there we venture back to the original guest on the Q. Episode one features our host Mark and long time film producer and director Anthony Cabral. Well even with moving and living in Chicago now, he couldn't be stopped from returning to the airwaves to chop it up with Mark and discuss Russia and a few other news stories. Then it is on to the main event. For years the Tournament of Pop culture was a mainstay on the show! There is no way an episode goes by without a throwback to the TOPC! This TOPC is perfect and a long time in the coming. Mark and the boys dive into figuring out the best Animated TV Series/Show of all time. Some true Icons and heavy hitters on the list. Did your show make the cut? Did it Win? Find out on the 500th Episode of The Q....Part 1!

Mark Bland and Jason Kull realize it ihas been a crazy week in the world. We had a man jump on stage on live tv and decide to slap a fellow artist. And this wasn't just anyone, this was WILL SMITH and he slapped comedian CHRIS ROCK...and at the Oscars of all place. But the breakdown on this goes deeper and Mark discusses with Jason about the implications for the people that were watching at home and the all the intersecting cultures that movies and money touch. Also Mark and Jason discuss their pasts and some of their experiences in other businesses in regards to over the top situations they have dealt with while working. Finally the guys decide that they want to see what Ranker has for the top Grunge songs of the 1990's. This doesn't pan out but the guys settle on a list of the best ROCK songs of the 1990's (which inlcuded a ton of grunge). Do the ones that made the list, make your list? Listen and find out!

Pam Hupp is a bad bad person and no one knows this as much as Russ Faria. On this episode of the Q, Mark Bland is joined by Jason Kull and Mike Eise to discuss the newest changes to the Russian/Ukrainian war. First up, the President of Ukraine has now come to the USA hat in hand and asked for US to be directly involved in the war with Russia. The US has held back recently with the Polish jets but this paints the country in a new light. Kull and Eise discuss the reasoning for Biden's decisions up till now and what the future holds potentially moving forward. Up next is a special man. Russ Faria had to go to prison and sit for 3 1/2 years for a crime that he did not commit. The crime of murdering his wife falls on the head of Pam Hupp who did the bad things. Pam's lying put Russ in Prison and now years later there is a new NBC Miniseries about the murders and Russ called "The Thing About Pam" on NBC. Well Russ Faria sits down with Mark to talk about the case and even answer some questions that others didn't ask. Check out this amazing interview with Russ Faria. Finally the guys decided to attack some unpopular opinions and thoughts on the last segment of the show for KYRO. Plus they answer some questions like "Have you ever quit a job DAY ONE...and why?" All this and much much more on the newest episode of the Q. Make sure to rate and review with apple podcasts and share with your friends!

From day one, Bob Anders has been instrumental in the career of Mark Bland. And with the recent decision to join forces and create Pardon My Podcast...it was time for Mr. Anders to bring his charm to the Q for an episode. And he did not disappoint. A lot going on in the world and first up is Mark and Bob waxing poetic on the days of yore and how all this fell into place in the first place. Mark starts talking about podcasting and how useful it is to those out there that do not prescribe themselves to traditional media formats...And Bob brings up how useful podcasting and non traditional internet distribution is for opening up the game and allowing for the Jake Paul's to become as well known as they are. Then Mark and Bob tackle the mess that is Dan Bongino and the need for conservatives to constantly challenge authority with regards to these internet based companies. Where does the rules for Youtube cross into bad territory with the constitution...these two gentlemen tackle this and discuss who owes who what. Finally the gentlemen discuss the breakdown for being a Conservative versus Liberal as well as discuss the impending Ukrainian situation and how the USA and Biden will handle this all. Of course this leads to Hunter Biden and his laptop because of course it has to....but that's where all this ends. All this and much more on the Q!

The Q is known for tapping into the Urban Dictionary aspect of the world and bringing you guys the newest and fresh lingo that is being used worldwide. We brought you "Soaking" on the "Soakening" episode of the show (ep. 483). So we brought back our friend and former co-host with Mark, BJ Lange and his friend Sara Patterson, to discuss a new thing happening in the world of Jeeps and off roading called OVERLANDING. Techincally its exploring remote locations via travel in an offroad vehicle. So this becomes a heavy topic on this episode of the Q. As we stated Bj brought a friend named Sara that would eventually have to sit on the HotSeat and answer some questions, but before that...we get into the acting background of both Sar and BJ based on their living in California and dealing with being working entertainers in Hollywood during Covid. This leads to the two explaining the darker side of Hollywood and the things that you naturally have to deal with because of the way the business is still structured. Finally Mark and his guests discuss the recent twitter decision to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from her Twitter access and block her account from being used. This also leads to a discussion about Greg Abbot (Gov of Texas) asking the federal government for Covid help after 2 years of being Covid deniers and being against everything the Government said or did.

Ahh it's christmas time and that means people that been away a while show up to have a sit down and a convo with our host. And this week is no different. Brandon Travis returns to the airwaves to discuss life and what has been happening in his world. Brandon was last seen before Covid started in early 2020...now at the end of 2021 (almost 2 years later), he returns with stories! But this is not a light and cheery show...nope. Brandon requests that Mark go DARK in the studios for this one and they turn off all the lights and let the LED's bask the studio in a colorful glow! The Dark Show is born! It's been a hell of a year and Brandon Travis is also aware of this. Starting the year out in Florida, Brandon saw life from a different perspective while down in the Sunshine state during this COVID pandemic. Mark and Brandon start out by catching up but not before Mark picks the brain of Brandon about his Florida adventures and how the state handled their COVID perspective. Next up, Mark makes sure that Mr. Travis knows that this popularity has grown immensely throughout the year and brings up this new idea that Let's Go Brandon was talking about him all along...Brandon definitely agrees to this! Finally, it's christmas time and Mark wants to make sure that xmas is a part of the xmas week show...so Mark and Brandon dip into to discussing the past Christmas' and which ones were memorable and for what reasons. Plus Brandon tells us his amazing christmas story! All this on this Christmas Edition of The Q 2021!
