The Wake Up Call with Scotch and Mandy

Do you ever clock out of work just to clock right back in as your kids’ unofficial Uber driver — minus the paycheck, the tip, or the five‑star rating? Welcome to The Parent Pit Stop, where Scotch, Tank and Mandy dive into the chaos of modern parenting transportation duty.

Between soccer practice, dance, gymnastics, choir, hockey, and whatever else kids sign up for without asking… parents often end up with awkward 40‑minute or one‑hour gaps between drop‑offs and pick‑ups. Too short to go home. Too long to just sit there. So what do you do with that time?

In this episode, the crew invents The Parent Pit Stop — a genius new “product” designed to help moms and dads survive these in‑between moments with sanity, snacks, and maybe a little peace. Think of it as the convenience store, lounge, therapy bubble, and charging station every parent desperately needs but doesn’t have.

Relatable, hilarious, and way too true — this one’s for every parent who’s ever waited in a parking lot scrolling their phone, eating drive‑thru fries in silence, or taking a power nap they definitely weren’t planning on.

Start your morning with The Wake Up Call’s full News, Weather & Sports update — the stories you need, the forecast you’re hoping for, and, of course, Tank’s weekly NHL recap…
and yes, that’s Novice Hockey League, not the National one (thank you, Scotch).

Every Thursday, Tank breaks down all the action from his Wednesday night skate at the Cullen Hockey Center in Moorhead, including:
🏒 Who scored
🏒 Who whiffed
🏒 Who crashed into the boards
🏒 And whether Tank stayed upright the entire game

It’s local, it’s fun, and it’s the most unpredictable “professional” hockey segment you’ll hear this morning.

Perfect for listeners who love real news, real weather, and… real mediocre hockey.

It’s time to test just how old we really are. In What’s Your Definition? on The Wake Up Call, Mandy brings in the newest slang terms floating around middle schools and high schools, and Scotch and Tank attempt the impossible: figuring out what any of them actually mean.

Spoiler:
They’re not even close.
Not once.
Not ever.

From phrases that sound made‑up to words that apparently don’t mean what they used to, this segment is pure generational chaos. The crew takes their best (and worst) guesses and everyone gets a good laugh at how wildly off the guys are.

It’s loud, it’s fun, it’s embarrassing…
and it proves the youth are speaking their own language.

Welcome to Birthday, Birthday, Birthdays — The Wake Up Call’s fast‑paced celebrity guessing game that puts Mandy and Scotch to the test! Tank brings four carefully crafted clues about a celebrity celebrating a birthday today, and with each hint, the pressure ramps up.

Can Mandy crack it by clue two?
Will Scotch wildly guess and somehow get it right?
Or will both of them completely whiff until Tank reveals the name?

In Are We the Only Ones?, Scotch confesses something everyday and relatable — like having selective hearing with your spouse, hiding snacks from your kids, or pretending you didn’t see that text message — and Tank, Mandy, and the listeners decide if this is a common human experience… or if Scotch is totally alone on this island.

Do you love staying on top of what’s trending?
Well… Scotch and Tank definitely don’t — and that’s exactly why this segment is pure chaos.

On Real Trend or Total Nonsense? Mandy claims she’s discovered the latest viral trends sweeping the internet, but here’s the catch: she might be lying. It’s up to Tank and Scotch to sort through her so‑called “hot new trends” and figure out whether she’s pulling real stories from the algorithm… or serving up complete, creative nonsense.

From bizarre food hacks to fashion disasters to “this can’t possibly be real” viral challenges, every round is a hilarious showdown of instinct vs. ignorance. Listeners play along by texting in their own guesses and seeing who falls for Mandy’s fake trends first.

Fast, funny, unpredictable — and the perfect way to stay informed… or at least entertained.

Perfect for fans of trivia, pop culture, and early-morning bragging rights.
