It's Big Slick weekend in Kansas City. To find out a little more about this fun and fantastic time we talk with a few celebrities brought here by the big 5 hosts. On this show we talk to Samm Levine, Will Forte, Sarah Chalke and Kansas City's own David Cook.
It’s Big Slick Day in Kansas City and #TheShowKC is pumped. We wonder who is going to get star struck tonight? Probably Jen over Weird Al. In the entertainment news, great stories about Tom Cruise juggling Bible study and, ummm, fun ladies. Laura Marano (Austin & Ally, Disney Channel) called in to talk about her first time at Big Slick this weekend, and did tell us that while she’s not a great softball player she does feel confident about her bowling skills (when she can use those bumpers). With the weekend about to start we ask how you are #Blessed. We heard from Ashley, a teacher, who is taking time off to potty train her kid (wha???) and even heard from people with connections to Children’s Mercy Hospital - the perfect thing for this Big Slick weekend. Our buddy Paul from B&B Theatres called in to talk about movies opening up this weekend...Cars 3, Wonder Woman and 47 Meters Down are still hot and the big, new film is Transformer: The Last Knight. The Show cast plays a round of Big Slick Password and Truta is dismayed when the girls actually had more opportunity to win than the boys. It was an unfair advantage! Next, one of the guests we’ve been waiting for… Sarah Chalke (Roseanne, Scrubs) called in to talk about driveway RV birthday parties, human centipede, shot putting, mall walking, and of course, Big Slick. Plus, we ask her about the return of Roseanne and Sarah sheds light on what she can - and can’t - talk about in regards to the reboot. Entertainment News had one of Jen’s favorites getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Join us all weekend long on social media with Big Slick updates, audio, video and more!
Big Slick Week continues on #TheShowKC today, and it's a huge morning! Comedian Samm Levine (Freaks N Geeks) called in and agreed that Will Forte is THE sexiest Big Slicker on the softball field. Then, our very own Voice contestant Casi Joy came into the studio. Casi is singing the National Anthem and O Canada at the Big Slick Royals game Friday night. She even brought her puppy in to hang out, which made the girls happy! Then we played the Beat Shazam game and Casi scored her first victory. Last time wasn't quite so good for her. A little All Access news from Shaylee and then we get an in studio visit from ANOTHER big superstar: David Cook! Not only that, The Show got an exclusive, premiere sneak peek at David's new single "Gimme Heartbreak" which is available Friday at all music stores and services. After David we talk about the boy who went missing - but was miraculously found on his roof by a TV helicopter. Jen doesn't believe the story to be true. Truta thought it sounded like Balloon Boy from years back. Bachelor in Paradise news in Jen's celebrity report and then Truta breaks out a survey that says the Chiefs have the worst fanbase in all of the NFL, which we know to be false! What?? The lovers and the haters then took to the text line to back this up or put it down. We'll show the NFL! Have a great day!
It's National Selfie Day and Shaylee the Millennial is out for a few days. Truta has weird dreams...about Ellen DeGeneres! James Van Der Beek (Dawson's Creek, Varsity Blues) called in to chat about his softball prowess, the new projects he's working on and how he got to know Eric Stonestreet at the beginning of his career. Check out our full chat here. Kim and Kanye are looking for a surrogate. Jen tries the new Lucky Charms milkshake from Burger King and goes on a sugar high. We play the Google Predicts game and Ashlynn wins Lorde tickets.
A slow start for Shaylee after Mexican Monday. We remember the time Shaylee had someone fly a drone outside her bedroom. There's a job for a nanny to make $64k...the only rub is that you'll work in a haunted house where 5 other nannies have quit. Good luck! In celebrity news, Hanson hates Justin Bieber and considers him to be "chlamydia for the ear." Truta's new favorite meme is "The Floor Is Lava." You yell "the floor is lava" at someone and then count down from 5. The other person has to get their feet off the floor before you get to zero. Eric Stonestreet gave us a little insight and scoop into the Big Slick event. We are talking to James Van Der Beek, Sarah Chalke and other celebs through-out the rest of the week. We ripped off Jimmy Fallon's new game: Think Fast! Jen and Joey took turns asking each other random questions and they had to answer as fast as they could and the more wrong the better. In the All Access we talk Kate Winslet and Leonardo. Jen's neighborhood is getting run over with solicitors. We talk about ditching them, making them leave your house, not answering the door, etc. We play the Google Predicts game with Joey and it doesn't get any better. Another look at entertainment news. Colorado is considering making it illegal for kids under 13 to possess a cell phone. Our kids can do amazing things - like rap.
Busy Monday at #TheShowKC! We hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend. It sounds like the girls had as much fun (food?) as the guys. We find out early on in the show that Joe Buck does indeed ruin everything. Truta had a bad skinny dippy experience in college. Queen Bey had twins and the world exhales. We ask how you passed the time while your power was out? Comedian/Actor Will Forte (SNL, Last Man On Earth) called in to chat about this week's Big Slick event, his softball prowess and how his sexiness affects the game. How can Coldplay be as bad as the Chainsmokers? We find out in Shaylee's All Access. Back to the ticket giveaways as we have tickets to see (the) Lorde next March at Sprint Center (right before Christmas). We play the Google Predicts game and this time Jen did the googling while Truta tried to guess. It got cringeworthy real fast. Shaylee watched the Breakfast Club over the weekend and gives us her review today in the weekly movie report. After asking a few trivia questions we determined she did indeed watched the show...and liked it! CBS has unveiled the new cast of Big Brother and we reveal our favorites and break 'em down in the entertainment news segment. Revisiting the Joe Buck faux pas from the U.S. Open also leads us into discussion about the celebrity diving show (Splash) and Louie Anderson. Great, random day. See you tomorrow!
Truta played a joke on the girls and told them he was out all night drinking following the previous night's Media awards. Shaylee believed Truta was drinking til 5:30 in the morning and came straight to the show. Well...not so much. He had McDonald's and was in bed by 10:30. It turns out nobody knows where chocolate milk comes from - people think it's from brown cows. Wow. Entertainment News had some Real Housewives info and news of Aisha Tyler leaving The Talk...and consequently not coming to Big Slick. As it is, while a lot of people didn't realize chocolate milk did not come from brown cows, 40% of 3rd-5th graders did not realize burgers came from cows. Say huh?? Chase and Holly from Charlie Hustle t-shirt company stopped by to unveil some news about their Big Slick shirt and show off their new line of American tees, just in time for 4th of July. We have our B&B Theaters own Paul Farnsworth in to talk about the big movies for the weekend, including Cars 3, Rough Night, 47 Meters Down (the shark movie) and the Tupac film. Comedian Joe Lo Truligo (Brooklyn 9-9, Super Bad) called in to talk about coming to the Big Slick weekend. It's survey time and this time Truta's asking the cast about the Hottest TV Dads, just in time for Father's Day. Truta initially thought the story about a blimp crashing in the woods at a PGA event was about Tiger Woods getting high and crashing something. Jen announced the Lorde concert in Entertainment News. See her at Sprint Center March 3, 2018. Jen was confused by Truta's earlier prank. We get a nice message from an 11 year old. Happy Father's Day all you dads! See you Monday!
Lots of random in #TheShowKC today. Allergies are getting Truta. Our Keurig machine has mold and no one wants to clean it. Impossible Question has us figuring out just who drives a mini-van. In entertainment news we enjoy Miley Cyrus singing karaoke with jumbled lyrics. There's a new list from Cosmo about the 50 "Old" Movies Young People Must See. We go through the list to see if we can add some to Shaylee's list. We play a round of Trick or Trending to give away some Lady Antabellum tickets. Speculation is that Beyonce has already given birth -- and rumor says she and Jay-Z built a maternity ward on the side of their house. We debate "push presents" and grandma showers then get into the real debate: what will be the Song of the Summer? Contenders include Chainsmokers w/ Coldplay, Ed Sheeran "Shape of You", and Bieber's "Despacito" -- which is a fav of Truta and Shaylee. The internet lost its collective mind when it discovered Sasha Obama's real name is Natasha. We got some great calls from Peanut, Tater, Orbit, Jenkins and more! Great stuff. Shaylee does not know the Talking Heads. Jen's entertainment news has Ryan Seacrest and Idol updates. We talk the new Mummies exhibition at Union Station. Truta does the voiceover for the audio tour and encourages you to go see it and buy the audio tour. He'll be in your head forever!
Someday nothing goes right on #TheShowKC. We thought this might be one of those days. Truta is watching a dead cockroach in the stairwell that never gets picked up. It's good sign of how clean our building is. Jen and Truta both love 60 Minutes, even though they feel it makes them old. We get an impossible question about stealing from work. The latest on the Bachelor in Paradise saga. Shaylee wonders how soon is too soon to drop an ex from social media. The Google Predicts game makes a comeback and Shaylee (kinda?) won. Jen was watching America's Got Talent and one of the best guys was a radio sales dude from Ohio. We got the idea to see if our sales people had talent, and Ryan came up the winner with his impression of Bob Dylan doing Baby Got Back. We chat about the best and worst states to raise a kid. Another round of entertainment news and we give away tickets to see The Weeknd. A song we played reminded Jen of her 4th Grade teacher's wedding. Producer Joey reviews John Legend and we discuss the pull-out chair in Truta's office (don't touch it, by the way). Tomorrow night we find out who wins Radio Station of the Year. Listen Friday for all the scoop!
