  • Doing Your Own Medical Procedure, OCD Quirks, What Made Us Cry: SHOWcast 02/20/2017

    President's Day edition of #TheShowKC: the warm weather has us all sleeping outside, baring arms and legs and in a general good mood. 10 Items or less with the latest Trumpster fire, NBA All-Star foolishness and YouTube ads. Jen's impossible question led us into a bigger discussion about doing your own dental work. After Entertainment News we took calls from people who have done their own stitches, pulled their own teeth, or basically performed surgery on themselves. We give away tickets to JoJo at Liberty Hall in Lawrence with a round of "What Made Us Cry." We all have weird OCD quirks - Jen's usually has to do with the number of social media followers we have. We run through some of yours including fronting and facing your cabinets, needing all numbers to be even and arranging closets by color. Crazy!!

  • Accent Game, Comedian Adam Newman, Funny Names: SHOWcast 02/17/2017

    From #TheShowKC today: kids are out of school all over the place and the weather is supposed to be gorgeous this weekend. Trump gave a weird, rambling press conference yesterday...we have highlights (lowlights?). Trying to figure the most unattractive part of a spouse's body in Jen's Impossible Question. The most mind blowing fact came in the Entertainment News, when Jen told us that Nicole Kidman almost married Lenny Kravitz! What??? Where did that come from? We talk scams after an Overland Park man gave nearly $200k to a girlfriend in Salina, KS. A few listeners reported the scams that have been after their paychecks. Listener Kelly called to give us our daily dose of Wooota Gotobed! You just have to listen for that one. We play The Accent Game to give a winner some Lady Gaga tickets. Then, comedian @Adam_Newman stopped in to talk about this new special, Fuzzies, a funny name HE found in his dad's yearbook, mascots, facing your fears and more! May contain adult language

  • Funny Names; Gaga or Trump?: SHOWcast 02/16/2017

    On today's #TheShowKC: Truta is finally about to kick this whole sickness thing. Jen is old, but not as old as Shaylee thinks she is. Sad story about BV coach Eric Driskell. Our hearts go out to his family. We get to Jen's Impossible Question and a discussion about mall-walking broke out. Truta gets schooled on Oskaloosa. There will not be a presidential bracket for the NCAA tournament this year - Trump does not have confidence in his prognostication abilities. We get into a discussion of funny names. Jen went to school with a guy named Sam Francisco, which is about the greatest name ever. This opened the floodgates: Richard Sweat (get it?), Harry Pitts, Harry Johnson...there were oh so many! We play a round of Gaga or Trump? Listeners had to guess if the quote given was said by Lady Gaga or President Trump. Enjoy the show!

  • Comedian Stuttering John; Royals 3B Hunter Dozier; Big Flyaway Announcement: SHOWcast 02/03/2017

    Action packed @TheShowKC today! We are all looking forward to the Super Bowl and Lady Gaga's performance. But first, let us all remember the Bowling Green Massacre. It was almost as bad as the Louisburg Cider Spill and the Great Ice Miss of just a few weeks ago. #PourOneOut Beyonce's pregnancy news continues to delight people. Truta finds out that Jen and Shaylee are scared of just the AUDIO from the new Rings movie. We announce our new big flyaway: a trip to baseball spring training in Surprise, Arizona!! Qualifying begins Monday, Feb 6th. To piggyback, we talk with rookie Royals third baseman/outfielder Hunter Dozier., who gave us the scoop on what spring training is like, how it felt to be called up to the big leagues, and the mood of the team following the loss of Yordano Ventura. We play a round of "Who Hates What" to try and figure which cast member of The Show hates: pickles, peeps, needles or Scott Disick. A real off-air conversation went live as we try and determine who plays with their phone in the bathroom. Truta reads Facebook, emails and even watches Netflix while on the toilet. The girls can't even think about that. Must be a guy thing. We got a visit from Stuttering John Melendez. John worked for many years on the Howard Stern show, accosting celebrities with crazy questions. He then became the studio announcer for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for a decade. See him this weekend at Stanford's. Finally, we make our Super Bowl predictions. Have a good weekend! See you Monday!

  • Groundhog Day; Kansas Man Wins Super Bowl Trip; Dave Koechner: SHOWcast 02/02/2017

    It's Groundhog Day on #TheShowKC! Will Phil the Groundhog see his shadow? We got the answer pretty early on The Show that, yes, there will be six more weeks of winter. Boo. By the way, East Coasters are so bad they even booed the groundhog. Sad! An impossible question about New Year's resolutions. Beyonce is pregnant, which is awesome, but her picture that accompanied the announcement was downright weird! Lyle Randal from Wichita won tickets to the Super Bowl - for life! - just for finding a golden can of Bud Light in a beer case! We talk to Lyle about his trip to Houston. Jen has found some amazing free stuff on Craiglist and we look through some of them. We play our favorite - the Accent Game - for tickets to see John Mayer and once again things get out of hand with the helium. The actor/comedian Dave Koechner called in to talk about his new sitcom, Superior Donuts, airing tonight on CBS. He also chatted us up about the Chiefs, his family and the Big Slick charity event in KC this summer. Finally, we get a round of trick or trending. Big giveaway announcement Friday at 7:10am. See you there!

  • My Husband Is Sexy When He ____; Tattoo Girls; Teenage Vending Machine: SHOWcast 01/31/2017

    Shaylee came in with a cold; Truta's kid doesn't like to wear pants; Jen's kids are selling art for cheap. Jen's impossible question deals with the Big Game coming up this Sunday. There are a few artists skipping the Grammys this year - Drake, Kanye and Justin Bieber. Will anyone miss them? The Bachelor was as good as ever. A new survey says ONLY 38% of women consider their husband sexy; ladies called to answer this: My husband is sexy when he _______. The Hillary Clinton body double has a lot of time on her hands. Another survey says 37% of married women regret taking their husbands' last name. We got calls from some of the more embarrassing new names after marriage. One of our new shows to watch is Tattoo Girls on TLC. It focuses on the Ink Ink shop in Springfield, Missouri, owned by Kelsey, whom we talked to on The Show. Listen as she talks about playing Mom to the girls in the store, how she got into tattoos and the things she won't do on someone's body. We have John Mayer tickets and handed those out with a nice round of Trick or Trending. Truta wants to be the assistant to a young, hot actress who needs oiled up. Then we talk to Blake Hawkins, a high school senior from Valley Center who engineered a soda vending machine inside his locker. While it was eventually taken down by school administration, this kid has a bright future in engineering. There's another #TheShowKC!

  • KC Family Plays The Feud; Valentine's Redemption; John Mayer tix: SHOWcast 01/30/2017

    Shaylee is back from hanging out with her celebrity boyfriend (whom she will still not name) and she is still not a golf analyst. John Mayer is coming to Sprint Center in April and we have tickets before you can buy them. The SAG Awards were last night and there were all sorts of awesome speeches. It is Super Bowl week...we love the prop bets! Joel Goedken and his family appear on a new episode of Family Feud (airing 1/30 at 3:30p on FOX 4). Joel came in to talk about the process of auditioning, Steve Harvey, and more. We also got Joel to stick around and play a round of the Accent Game with us as well. Very big news dropped over the weekend...Hamilton is coming to Kansas City! In a few years...and it will be a tougher ticket than Bruno Mars! Truta's already planning a body part to sell. #TheShowKC this week is qualifying listeners for a Branson getaway to the Chateau on the Lake resort and spa. You HAVE to check out the website -- it's an amazing place! We asked listeners for some tales of Valentine's gone wrong so that we could grant them some V-Day redemption. We'll have more all weekend. Thanks for listening!

  • Natasha Bedingfield, Gen-X vs Millennial (Joey Edition): SHOWcast 01/25/2017

    Fun day on #TheShowKC: it's a Shaylee-free day as she is "on assignment" in San Diego with her celebrity boyfriend. Truta saw "A Dog's Purpose" last night with Adi and pretty much cried his eyes out while the 6 year old asked him to pass the Snickers. On the heels of their record-tying Oscar nominations, Jen found us someone from La La Land to talk to - he's the guy credited as "Coffee Spiller." This will be followed by the craft services girl from "Hidden Figures" and the boom mic operator from "Fences." Eric the Security Guard told us that his ex sent him a birthday text this morning, leading us to ask Who is Friends with Their Ex? Good stories. Since Shaylee isn't here we pulled in new producer Joey to play (don't tell Shaylee, but he knows a BUNCH more). There's a new commercial that says real men play with Barbies, encouraging dads to play girly stuff with their daughters. Truta's daughter just likes to play Firehouse Subs. Don't ask. Finally, singer Natasha Bedingfield called in to The Show, talking about her July 3rd concert with Train at Starlight Theater. She also talked big booties, failed selfies and writing a song as a birthday present.

  • Oscar Nominations, Cake Boss Buddy Valastro: SHOWcast 01/24/2017

    Busy #TheShowKC again today: tributes to Royals ace Yordano Ventura go on as he is laid to rest in the Dominican Republic today. Jen catches up on the latest Trump news. We find out surgeons are better at their jobs after playing video games. Oscar nominations are today. Last night's Bachelor was as dumb as ever, although Corrine is growing on Truta. Jen asked Eric the Security Guard some questions - listeners had to guess his answers to win Train tickets. After the live nominations, The Show goes over the Oscars...who's up and who got snubbed? Buddy Valastro, known as the Cake Boss, calls in to chat up his new show Bakers vs Fakers, which premieres Wed night on Food Network. You guys are starting to use the Open Mic function on our app to send messages. Lori wants to know about Shaylee's celebrity boyfriend. Just another day on The Show!

  • Remember "Ace" Ventura; Amelia Meyer Kindness Project: SHOWcast 01/23/2017

    A somber #TheShowKC today, after the news broke on Sunday that Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura had been involved in a fatal car crash in the Dominican Republic. After thoughts from the crew, Royals VP/Public Relations Toby Cook called in to share his thoughts on the young ace, the plans for this weekend's Fan Fest, and the ongoing tributes to this rising star. Then, Jill Meyer called us to tell us about her daughter Amelia. The day before her 9th birthday, Amelia had a photo shoot with Yordano as part of a charity calendar. Just a couple of years before, Amelia had been diagnosed with brain cancer. Her meeting with the "Ace" was a happy one and the two bonded. Amelia passed away in October last year and Yordano this weekend. A baseball signed by the pitcher is just part of the tangible memories her mom Jill has. And now, you can actually see the results of that day as Amelia and Yordano's picture is the January pic of the Braden's Hope calendar. Find out more at BradensHope.org.
