The Show with Jen and Truta

It's finally Friday! Today on #TheShowKC, we discussed a guy who had contract of rules for his girlfriend for when they see Avengers: Infinity War next week! Going into the weekend #TheShowKC wants to know how you are #Blessed! Rochelle from Kingsville, Missouri would definitely be #Blessed as she was was the winner of the trip to attend the premiere of the upcoming film Book Club in Los Angeles!

Remember, next week is your last week to qualify for the here and there trip to see Billy Joel in Kansas City AND Chicago! Also starting Monday, listen for back to back Taylor Swift songs all day on KC 102.1 to win tickets to see Taylor Swift when she plays Arrowhead Stadium in September!

It's Throwback Throwdown day on #TheShowKC and everyone on #TheShowKC has picked their song for the day! Jen's song of the day was Hanson's MMMBop and since we are giving away Hanson tickets, Jen created a game where she wanted to see what was older, certain items or Hanson! Jen found a study about how Americans utter curse words when they are stressed out and we wanted to know what words you use as a substitute curse word!

On Wednesdays at #TheShowKC we play Gen-X vs. Millennial, however today we had a listener play against Shaylee AND Truta! #TheShowKC discussed the age difference between couples based on a story out of Tennessee where the bride was 72 and the groom was 19! 

Last night, former First Lady, Barbara Bush passed. Our good friend, Ryan called in and told #TheShowKC about his interaction with Mrs. Bush when she was the Second Lady of the United States at Exchange City! Ryan's story also involves Hall & Oates!

#TheShowKC tried to match up each other's answers in a  round of Think 'N Sync, at least they tried! Jen was fascinated by the upcoming Rockabye Baby Beastie Boys album, which led to a discussion of the songs that Rockabye Baby has covered and turned into lullabies! Rachel Platten's performance of the National Anthem over the weekend led to a conversation about epic fails!

With the passing of Full Metal Jacket actor, R. Lee Ermy, Truta brought back an interviewed he recorded with him from 2005! After the news broke last night about John Cena and Nikki Bella breaking up a month before their wedding, #TheShowKC talked about those who got dumped at the alter and heard from people in Kansas City about the topic! And we all need some good news in our lives, Jen and Truta found some good news in our All The Feels segment!

You knew him as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, the gruff drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket. It was a role and a character he would reprise in numerous TV shows and commercials from the History Channel to Geico. But did you know Mr. Ermy was a Kansas boy? Born in Emporia and raised in the Kansas City area, Ermey lived around this part of the world until age 14. R. Lee Ermey passed away Sunday, April 15th 2018 at the age of 74. In this interview from the Truta Archives, dated January 19, 2005 from KCTE-AM radio, R. Lee talks about Full Metal Jacket, why he never curses in real life, and the surprising modern facility that is now built on the place of his boyhood home.

Before their appearance at the Kansas City FilmFest this weekend, Stephen Colletti and James Lafferty, who you know from their roles on One Tree Hill and Laguna Beach stopped by #TheShowKC to talk about their new film, Everyone Is Doing Great! Stephen Colletti and James Lafferty visiting #TheShowKC was Shaylee's reason for being #Blessed going into the weekend but we wanted to know how you are #Blessed!

It's Throwback Throwdown on #TheShowKC and the members of #TheShowKC have all picked their throwback songs for the day! We hear some amazing stories from women who have had absolutely terrible first dates and even worse first date topics!

#TheShowKC discussed things that are considered to be crap, but you can't help but love! We heard from those in Kansas City who were not embarrassed to share what they love and even Natalie Rush gave us her two cents! It's Gen-X vs. Millennial day on #TheShowKC and Jen may or may not have been upset that Shaylee was unaware of a certain movie, it's mainly a may!
