The Show with Jen and Truta

WARNING: SPOILER ALERTS ABOUND. Everyone in the world was glued to their TV waiting for a big death Tuesday night. Real nice, huh? This Is Us had some mixed reaction over the finale. #TheShowKC discussed as well as basically rewrote the show. Since it's basketball time we ask listeners if they can recognize a real mascot or a fake one for Ed Sheeran tickets. Truta had an embarrassing moment where his family unintentionally dined and dashed...and got called on it! They really meant to pay but forgot. He swears!!!

We got a visit from one of our favorite TV stars today...Bebe Wood from The Real O'Neals (Tuesday, ABC) stopped in to say hi! Tonight is the season finale and Bebe is back in Kansas City while they take hiatus and await the status of their next season. We covered a lot of ground in our talk...sitars, music, Goonies, using the set as a haunted house, stand-ins, school. Check it out AND check out The Real O'Neals tonight on ABC! #TheShowKC

The 15th annual Elder Hoolie is tomorrow night at Knuckleheads. Join Norm, Ian and the gang for another night of fun and revelry. Listen as Norm, co-founder of the Elders and former member of the Tommy Shaw Band and Shooting Star, talks to us about the origins of the group, new music and more!

A feud is brewing in the @SportingKC locker room and #TheShowKC is right in the middle of it! On yesterday's Show, midfielder Roger Espinoza, when asked to name the dirtiest person in the locker room, threw down @IkeOpara's name. This didn't sit well with Opara, a Man of the People as his teammates call him. In the interest of fairness and equal time, The Show extended an offer to Opara to come on today and refute Roger's claims, which he does vociferously -- in addition to throwing Erik Palmer-Brown under the bus. Where does this end? The saga continues...catch Roger, Ike, Erik and the rest of Sporting KC at the home opener tomorrow night!

With days to go before the 2017 home opener, #TheShowKC caught up in studio with midfielder Roger Espinoza. Roger gave us some insight on his daily routine, how he gets pumped up for games and even threw Ike Opara under the bus for "dirtying up" their corner of the locker room....oh! Drama! #SKC

Severe weather struck the Kansas City area Monday night, bringing hail, severe rain and tornadoes that caused destruction across parts of Oak Grove, Grain Valley and Odessa. #TheShowKC talked with some listeners this morning who had damage at their house or lost power. Jen's Impossible Question for the day taught us something about Truta and his dog that we didn't necessarily need to find out. Jen has become a huge fan of Chance the Rapper - but can't name a song he sings...or raps....or whatever. We get the scoop on your storm experiences from last night. One woman's friend used the hail as ice for his whiskey. Hey, whatever works! We talk to Erin Dietrich, who made a parody video of April the Giraffe. Erin is 39 weeks pregnant and got 25 million (!) views of her parading her pregnant belly around her bedroom while wearing a giraffe head. Then, we get an update on the REAL April from Jordan Patch, owner of Animal Adventure park. He promises April will give birth soon! Next, we have an embarrassment of riches in our prize closet, so we did some deals and gave away entries to the Big 12 Fun Run, passes to the KC1021 screening of Beauty and the Beast or a hyper-chiller. More entertainment news, this time about Jimmy Buffet's retirement community. Finally, we chat with Smithville's own @casijoymusic Casi Joy! Casi wowed the judges on NBC's #TheVoice, and ended up on #TeamBlake with Blake Shelton. (Starts at 33:45 mark)

Just of the best bits of #TheShowKC from the past couple of days. April the giraffe has taken the online world by storm, with probably millions of people glued to a live webcam of a giraffe about to give birth. For the scoop we go straight to Animal Adventure Park owner Jordan Patch, who fills us in about the birthing process and when we can expect things to happen. Of course, that didn't stop the gang from starting a pool to guess when the baby would be born. Then we go live to the French Quarter in New Orleans for the dirt on Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday thanks to Jen's friend Jeff. Learn all about the parades, the crews and the fun. Next, we all know someone with a last name that invites butchering (hey, Truta anyone??). We asked you all with crazy last names to call in and spell it as we try to pronounce it. We all learned a good lesson this morning! The new cast of Dancing With The Stars was revealed this morning and we break down the lineup and give odds to each. The girls are hoping there is no phone punishment this year in our DWTS pool. In a follow up to our giraffe talk, we talk to our listener winner of the birth pool. Good day!

A day all about our biggest mistakes on #TheShowKC. After a relatively fun, kinda ho-hum 3 1/2 hours of Oscars, the Academy sure knew how to kick things up a notch in the adrenaline department! Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced La La Land as winner of Best Picture...only problem is, Moonlight was the actual top dog. Oopsie! We deconstruct all of the conspiracy theories and possibilities as to how this could happen. Plenty of Oscar audio for those who went to bed early. Then, we ask you - what was your worst mistake on the job? There's Cindy who set off a tornado siren, James who put his foot in his mouth over a one-armed customer...and many more! Plus, The Show gang share their worst moments, too. Julie Jordan, the west coast editor of People Magazine joined us to talk Oscars as well the passing of Bill Paxton and Judge Wapner. We get an update on April the giraffe and the birth of Giraffey McGirrafeFace. Listener Thea uses the Open Mic section of our app to tell us how scared she was of the new Planet Earth series. And we award our first finalist of the new Treehouse Getaway. What a morning! Enjoy!

Jen found a statistic that 70% of people have loaned money to a friend or family member, but only a select percentage of those would do it again. So, The Show Wants To Know: what did you borrow and what became of it? Or what did you loan to someone and never got back. Marc Malkin from E! News came on to talk about this weekend's Oscars. Listen as we chat about Jimmy Kimmel as host, the chances for La La Land to take Best Picture, fashion, politics and more! We love having @marcmalkin on! Finally, on the heels of Burger King buying Popeye's chicken, Truta throws out a survey to the gang about the top fast food restaurants of all time. You may be surprised to hear what's #1!

From #TheShowKC for Wednesday: Truta's kid got the sickness he had last week. We deconstruct a story about Kid Rock becoming a senator from Michigan and find out it's just fake news. We discover that nobody uses their gym bag. Shaylee was the only one on The Show who watched This Is Us last night and she is dying to talk about it. We try to play Password with Chris for JoJo tickets but he isn't successful. Talk turns to things you've seen while driving...and it's everything from picking their nose to playing the flute. Shaylee surprises us once again during Gen-X vs Millennial for knowing a movie we didn't think she'd ever get. Truta is captivated by Alex Trebek rapping the Panda song. Have a great (warm) day!
