  • Movies Shaylee Hasn't Seen; Locked Out; Gen X vs Millennial: SHOWcast 05/24/2017

    Another fun, interactive #TheShowKC today... it's the last day of school for Truta's daughter. The girls were bowled over by last night's surprise ending to Dancing With The Stars finale (spoilers in the audio). A woman got locked IN a CVS store when the workers left without checking to make sure the store was empty. We asked, Where did you get locked in/out? Tons of great calls and texts and stories you have to hear! Shaylee's All Access gave us the latest on Katy Perry vs Taylor Swift. Then, in Gen-X vs Millennial, we reminded ourselves just how few movies Shaylee has seen. This opened up the floodgates. The better part of The Show's second half today was spent on the text line and all of the movies Shaylee needs to see. We have now made a list (available further down on our Facebook page) where you can see Shaylee's "Must See" list for the summer. She is going to report back to us "book report" style to tell us about each film. Enjoy your SHOWcast today!

  • Jorianne the Coffee Cup Psychic; Truta and Joey Recap the Bachelorette: SHOWcast 05/23/2017

    #TheShowKC opens and the kids are bored with summer already, partly because Jen gives them homework over the summer. Say what? Sad news about the explosion at a concert in Manchester, England. We got the latest information about the alleged attackers and the victims. The Tuesday "Impossible Question" was pretty tough. It took numerous tries to get the right answer but we eventually got there. In celebrity news, Dancing with the Stars will end its season tonight with a special finale. Truta and Joey then break down the premiere of the Bachelorette from last night - which wasn't even the best show on TV. First, there was Waboom! guy. Then, there was the dude who was very proud of his, uh, sexual prowess. Shaylee's All Access has the latest scoop on the Cash Me Ousside girl, the beef between Katy Perry and Taylor Swift, and Abby Lee Miller from Dance Moms. Then, it was time to bring on Jorianne, the Coffee Cup Psychic. Jorianne can see the past, present and future through her coffee cup. Jen thought it would be a good idea to apply Jorianne's abilities to find out how Shaylee's new relationship is going. Plus, we take a call with listener Elizabeth who wanted to get some info about her potential move to Vegas for a job. Another round of entertainment news has more sadness as we learn that Roger Moore, the actor who portrayed James Bond in the most number of films, passed away at the age of 89 following a short battle with cancer. The late part of The Show included Jorianne's thoughts about our show and the hunt for the 20 foot Burmese python continues. Have a great day...enjoy!

  • Words To Banish; Bachelorette Accent Game; Chainsmokers: SHOWcast 05/22/2017

    All you need to know about today's #TheShowKC is that it was everything disposable about society. First, Jen had to suffer through the Chainsmokers in last night's Billboard Music Awards. This riles up Shaylee and led to a big discussion about music. Something we can all agree on was that Jen cries a lot and no one was surprised she shed a tear over Titanic...the movie. A new season of The Bachelorette premieres tonight, so we revisit past stupidity from the show by using direct quotes from old Bachelor/Bachelorette shows for The Accent Game. Some thing sound even worse in pirate voice! Also, what word(s) would you banish from everyday speech? BAE? Turnt? Lit? Awesome? Those and more in today's Show. Enjoy!

  • Comedian AJ Finney; Whisper Challenge; Worst Weeks: SHOWcast 05/19/2017

    Friday's #TheShowKC involved Shaylee being late and having to buy a round of S***bucks for everybody. We got an update from our friend Elliot who continues to have the worst week ever! Alien: Covenant and Diary of a Wimpy Kid are the new movies out this week in our B&B At The Movies segment. We once again play the Whisper Challenge and find out if Shaylee stays undefeated in the game. Our buddy AJ Finney stops by to talk hail, storms and Boston cops. Find him at Stanford's this weekend. And we end with #AllTheFeels and some good news!

  • Senior Pranks; Whose Tweet Is It; #Blessed: SHOWcast 05/18/2017

    Good day on #TheShowKC to talk about the good things in life. We explore #blessed and the things you are thankful for. All of this in the face of tragedy as Soundgarden's Chris Cornell was found dead early this morning in news that hit us all. We got to talking about high school pranks once again and Jen remembered something that happened at her high school. Funny enough, the guy who orchestrated the prank was listening and called in!!!

  • Worst Dates; Who Would Play Us; Attacked By Birds: SHOWcast 05/17/2017

    Hump Day at #TheShowKC. Shaylee and Truta were both attacked by birds while coming into the office today. Jen hit a snake. Our record with wildlife is not good right now. The big story is this guy who is suing his date for texting through a movie. She eventually ghosted on the guy and he wants his $17.31 back. We looked to you for the worst date stories and Mallory came though. Then we got caught up in who would play each cast member of The Show if they were to make a movie about us. Truta wants Jimmy Kimmel. We all think comedian Reggie Watts would play a great Joey. Check out our Facebook page for the pictures and see what you think. Great day on The Show! See you tomorrow!

  • Royals Catcher Drew Butera; Big Families: SHOWcast 05/16/2017

    Fun #TheShowKC today as we head into summer...first, it finally got warm enough for Jen to turn her air conditioner on. Check out the similarities between a commencement speech Trump gave and Elle's from Legally Blonde. There was a Dancing with the Stars SHOCKER! Oh no! We get into the situation of NFL cornerback Antonio Cromartie who has 14 kids -- and we're trying to figure out how, who, why...what? Plus, four of these kids came after Cromartie had a vasectomy! Huh? We got into a discussion of which listener had the most kids in their family. Listen to hear the big winner! We get more William Hung in Shaylee's All Access...plus, she can't say "amicably." (Is that how it's spelled??) Royals catcher Drew Butera joined us next, to talk about his charity appearance Wednesday at Three Dog Bakery on the Plaza. Drew will be selling special edition Charlie Hustle shirts to benefit the Angel Fund and Variety of KC, in honor of his friend's wife who is battling breast cancer. Next, it's a game of "Where'd We Get Kicked Out Of" to get Mike some Jazz Fest tickets. We end the show with more celeb news, fidget spinners and the celebrity death hoax involving Avril Lavigne. See you tomorrow!

  • Whisper Challenge; The Wine Purse; Cracked Phones: SHOWcast 05/02/2017

    A good, random Tuesday on #TheShowKC...first, it's a purse, with a "party pouch" inside. Perfect for Mom's Day or the concert-goer in your life, the "wine purse" can hide up to two bottles of wine in a flexible bladder placed inside a decorative handbag. Never have to buy liquor at the concession stand price again! Then, we ask - how did you crack your phone screen? Finally, it's a return to our new favorite game, the Whisper Challenge. Enjoy!

  • Comicon Stories; Shaylee Finds Love in the Chip Aisle: SHOWcast 05/01/2017

    A random #TheShowKC for a rainy Monday... first, Shaylee was in New York for a special trip to interview some movie stars, which we'll hear about later in the week. Truta DJ'd a Prom - and forgot his suit. From Entertainment News, Kelly Ripa gets a co-host (Seacrest, spoiler alert!), April the Giraffe's baby gets a name, and you get some cheap concert tickets. Vince called in with a story from Comicon. Turns out he found some money, turned it in like any honest person, and was rewarded with some time hanging out with Ron Perlman. Awesome! He even snuck in some beer for Ron to enjoy as well. Then, we got the text of the year. A random texter asked if Shaylee wanted to go on a date over chips and salsa to talk about One Direction. Of course her interest was piqued, so we called this guy up. Turns out he met Shaylee in the chip aisle at the grocery store this past week. Jen and Truta give him a grilling and we'll see what happens now... til another day!
