The Wake Up Call with Scotch and Mandy

On today’s episode of The Wake Up Call, we’re talking about the everyday technology that somehow frustrates us more than it helps. From TVs with 27 inputs to cars that feel like airplanes, Scotch, Tank and Mandy break down the gadgets that seem to personally hate them. Plus, Froggy listeners share their funniest and most relatable tech struggles.

It’s a big day on The Wake Up Call — our Birthday, Birthday, Birthdays game is back with two MAJOR Feb 17 celebrity birthdays. Tank drops a series of hard clues while Scotch and Mandy try to guess the mystery stars without humiliating themselves. You can play along too!

This episode is perfect for fans searching for Feb 17 celebrity birthdays, sports icons, pop‑culture legends, celebrity guessing games, and Froggy 99.9 morning show highlights. We dive into two wildly different but equally influential figures — one known for global dominance in athletics (born Feb 17, 1963) and one who reshaped early‑2000s entertainment and media (born Feb 17, 1981) — without ever giving away their names until the very end of the game.

If you love playing along with celebrity clues, laughing at Scotch’s confidently wrong guesses, or testing your pop‑culture memory, this episode is tailor‑made for you. Hit play and see if you can figure out the Feb 17 mystery birthdays before the crew does!

The Wake Up Call is back with another Make Us Laugh Monday! The crew warms things up with goofy jokes about wig thieves, hokey‑pokey addicts, and libraries that have way too many stories. Listeners jump in with jokes about palm trees, Mice Krispies, and chickens crossing playgrounds.
A fast, fun burst of Midwest humor to start your week right.

It’s another clue‑filled morning on The Wake Up Call as Scotch, Tank, and Mandy tackle two celebrity birthdays in today’s edition of Birthday, Birthday, Birthdays! Tank delivers four clues for each mystery celeb — three tricky ones and then the final giveaway — while Scotch and Mandy race to figure out who’s celebrating today.

One celebrity is a major player in the biggest movie and streaming franchise of the last decade…
The other is a hip‑hop pioneer and longtime TV star with one of the most recognizable voices in entertainment…
But we’re keeping it totally spoiler‑free so you can play along!

Tank tries to stump Scotch and Mandy with real and ridiculous North Dakota “facts.” If it’s true, they yell “North Dakota!” — if not, it’s a big “Nuh!” Two rounds of prairie pride, confusion, questionable confidence, and way too much ND trivia you never asked for but can’t stop listening to.

Today on The Wake Up Call, Scotch takes over as host of a brand‑new game: Who Said That? – Generations Edition!

Tank and Mandy go head‑to‑head trying to identify famous quotes from across the decades — sitcom lines, viral memes, movie moments, and iconic one‑liners from the Boomer era all the way through Gen Z.

But there’s a twist:
 Scotch adds a bonus challenge: Was that Millennial or Gen X?
Every quote comes with an extra generational trap to make Tank overthink everything and make Mandy question her entire childhood.

Relatable, ridiculous, and very Midwest.

Mandy hit the halls around the Froggy 99.9 studios to ask the tough Valentine’s Day question: When is the right time to say “I love you”? The crew weighs in with their own timelines, hot takes, and questionable stories about when they dropped the L‑word… or when they absolutely should not have.

It’s hilarious, a little chaotic, and the perfect Valentine’s Day listen—whether you’re in love, looking for love, or avoiding the word entirely.
