The Show with Jen and Truta

Say hi to #TheShowKC's 300th podcast! WHOOOO! Enjoy today including: Oops I did it again; who is Black China?; the vent line returns; Shaylee can't spell; Shaylee has never seen a movie; Shaylee doesn't know Huey Lewis and the News; Christmas is coming; Jen is already getting holiday lights. And more!

Does Jen have Pink Eye?? Everyone hopes not. This is the time of year for bad stuff: lice, colds, coughs, bleh. Stuff we talked about on #TheShowKC: a woman running for Congress says she has been abducted by aliens on multiple occasions; Jen's "Soothing" Impossible Questions; there was a great "Rob Burgundy" moment during a football game over the weekend, when the announcer straight read the teleprompter, including stuff he wasn't meant to read out loud. This lead Truta to revisit his all time favorite news blooper clip about the gay/blind mountain climber. Our friend Casi Joy finally got married over the weekend, and we revisit the wedding present that The Show cast sent to Casi and Bryan: the "illumi-bowl"...a light up toilet bowl seat! Who wouldn't want to turn their toilet into a nightlight? It's Payback a Friend day and we want to help someone pay their debt in concert tickets. We helped Renee pay off her debt to Kim by sending them to the Janet Jackson concert. Luckily Kim accepted this form of payment and the two are actually going to have a great night hanging out together! Lots of celebrities are getting hit by cars now. We think it's an epidemic to get publicity for their projects. As of the 17th of October there are only 69 days until Christmas. This Is Us has been a huge show. Producer Joey came up with a quiz for the rest of the cast, to see how well they know the show. We also learn that Joey has a strange, familial tie to This Is Us. Listen and found out how. See you tomorrow!

From the Friday the 13th edition of #TheShowKC: Truta bit the bullet and bought a new car yesterday, thanks to his friends at Country Hill Motors! Shaylee was late to The Show...just how late, you'll have to hear. Things on The Show: the lottery ticket that broke up a relationship. Jen's Impossible Question and being single. Flight 666 to Hell. Who's Chris Martin from Coldplay dating now? Pink sings Gn'R. Cubs win! Cubs win! We get a ghostly Flashback Friday from Jen in the form of a tape she recorded on Friday the 13th, 32 years ago! We play a round of What Am I Scared Of? where people guess the phobia. Next up we give away Cinetopia tickets while revealing the new movies out this weekend. Then it's time for Kansas City's own Melissa Etheridge to call in and chat about her new album and singing the national anthem before the Chiefs-Steelers game. We tease Jen with her "special surprise" this morning, just in time for Friday the 13th. Shaylee finally shows up after a night of tequila. More Entertainment News and finally it's time to unveil Jen's surprise. She gingerly opens the box, pokes around the inside, and pulls out...........BOO! Happy Friday the 13th from The Show!

Singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge grew up in Leavenworth and cut her teeth singing in clubs around the Kansas City area. On Sunday she will sing the National Anthem prior to the Chiefs-Steelers football game. On Friday's "The Show with Jen and Truta", Etheridge was asked what it's like to be a performer asked to sing that song in the current climate.

From #TheShowKC: wildfires, Harvey Weinstein, girls in the Boy Scouts, Jen's Impossible Question, Entertainment News, what is happening to Jen on Friday the 13th, Survey Time, Saturday Night Live, Man on the Street questions, Pink tickets, Janet Jackson tickets.

The Kansas City Marathon presented by Garmin is getting ready to run in a couple of weeks. We talk with Race Director Dave Borchardt about some of the changes you will see in the marathon this year and what the future may hold for Kansas City on a world level when it comes to sports. Then, time for a fright! The cast of The Beast and The Edge of Hell haunted houses join us to talk about what's going on under the 12th Street bridge and how they give back to our community.

A best-of wrap-up from the first week of October on #TheShowKC. We start with a nice round of Google Predicts where Truta confuses a certain catchphrase -- and grosses out the girls in the process. Next up, Atticus Shaffer plays Brick on "The Middle" (ABC, Wednesday nights at 7p). This is the last season of The Middle, which is one of our favorite shows. We have our entire conversation with Atticus, just for you Middle fans! Some All Access from Shaylee is next...and N-Sync may be reuniting! Truta recounts his Super Bowl run-in with the boys from N-Sync...and the girls that were trying to hang out with them. Then, it's a round of Gen-X vs Millennial where Shaylee doesn't know: Brooke Shields, Ed McMahon, Star Search and more! What do you nerd out over? We took some calls to see what people nerd out about? Some things: NASCAR, Harry Potter, and...pimple popping videos??? Yuck. Finally, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Our friends at Susan G. Komen of Greater Kansas City came by to talk about Race For The Cure and all of the October activities for BCA month. Have a good weekend!

A special SHOWcast on this #RedMonday as get ready for a #Chiefs Monday Night Football game...last week Truta got a message from the boys at Arrowheads Abroad, a Chiefs fan club from the United Kingdom. They were bringing nearly 30 Chiefs fans from Great Britain to Kansas City for the Monday night game, and were also looking to record a special KC edition of their Arrowheads Abroad podcast. Well, Truta wasn't about to let them off that easily. He also cornered them into recording a special SHOWcast talking about their time in KC, how they became Chiefs fans and more. Here's Tom, Brad and Dave with Truta. Oh, and check out www.arrowheadsabroad.com/podcast for their 'cast and follow them @KCChiefs_UK

We spend our show today learning about the important work of Save, Inc. Blaine Procter, the CEO, tells us about the 30 year mission of Save, Inc to reduce homelessness in Kansas City, and the organizations longtime work with those affected by AIDS and HIV. The group's annual Homecoming event is coming up on October 14th at Studio Dan Meiners. You can find more info at www.SaveIncKC.org We also go through a calendar of coming events, including this morning Alzheimer's Walk, next week's Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure, and we talk again about suicide prevention.

It's #TheShowKC for the last show-day of September. Truta went bowling last night as a fundraiser and came back with all of his fingers. Jen went to the hockey game and cheered on dudes fighting on ice. The Royals are pretty much done and the team is about to break apart, but there is one last chance to see all of the boys together this weekend. Go cheer them on and shed a tear! :( Shaylee is stalking Travis Kelce. Since baseball is over, everyone is getting ready for football! Monday Night Football takes over Arrowhead when we come back next week. We open the phones for people to share how they are #Blessed heading into the weekend. The Show chats about the newest movies coming to Cinetopia and we hand out some movie tickets. Choose between the new Tom Cruise film, American Made; the sequel to Flatliners; or Battle of the Sexes starring Steve Carrel and Emma Stone. The Super Nintendo classic is the new hot item; people have been lined up since midnight last night to get one. We remember the classic games of our youth. Caller Ashlynn plays Google Predicts and correct predicted the girls will get zero. GP is a tough game, even though the girls got CLOSE. Have a good weekend. See you Monday!
