7/11/2024

Welcome welcome welcome to another amazing episode of The Qnow with Mark Bland and Jason Kull. This weeks guest is former candidate and political advisor to the show John Scheper!

First things first, it seems that Biden is still battling the demons from the Debate a few weeks ago. Everyone wants him to step down and/or pivot to another candidate. But are there any that could potentially handle the onslaught from the Trump supporters. The guys discuss the debate, and the options on the board for Biden moving forward.

Next up it seems that Project 2025 (we discussed on the last show) is gaining a ton of steam from the right people. It looks a like a doom and gloom novel that republicans seem to be alright with. It strips people of many services including public education? Now are they really gonna try and find a baby sitter now, when their kids were fine in school as it stands currently?

Finally we have three so we are doing the Mid-summer classic Tournament of Pop Culture. This time we focus on baseball movies and which one is the best overall. Mark saw this bracket broke down somehwere else and couldn't believe that one movie beat all the others. The Qnow is setting out to prove what is the best overall baseball movie of all time!

6/14/2024

Susan Shumway joins the show to talk about running for state congress in Missouri's 108th district!

First up, state politics always baffles the minds of our stalwart national politico's such as Jason Kull and Mark Bland. But not for Jenna roberson who is also a candidate and running for a state representative position too. But why do the idiots act the way they do. The team discusses and then onto the real game, can Jenna get a debate with her oppoenent at all for their upcoming matchup? Everyone discusses!

Next up, Reverend Susan Shumway is in the middle of her third attempt at office but that has only made her stronger and smarter regarding campaigning. Susan joins to discuss growing up and where the penchant to jump into politics comes from. Susan also puts forth her positions and stances for Heatlhcare, Abortion and Education...along with many other things she wants to focus on once she wins in November.

Finally it was Hunter Bidens day in court, but to what extent did it help his family??? Well it did not. It made Trump look more guilty and like the system was still working good...and...it helped the democrats moving forward with their arguments against Trump. But Hunter didn't want to spend 25 yrs in prison and this was not some false flag black op BS thiing the republicans made up to try and downplay Biden's issues.

On this episode of the show, Courtney Dowdall and Roy Kasten join the show to discuss the problems with local radio station KDHX in St. Louis.

First up Roy and Courtney sit in with Mark Bland and Jason Kull to discuss the problems that have been happening in St. Louis Community Radio Station KDHX 88.1. Since 2019 it seems things have not been going swimmingly at the station. Many VOLUNTEER DJ's and station members have been fired or left after dealing with the head of the station Kelly Wells and Board head Gary Pierson over decision being made on behalf the volunteers without their consent. Mark has his own story of merit that shows making bad decisions has been part of the station for years, but this new decision seems to be attacking the very fabric of what makes the station work and tick!

Next up Super tuesday 2024 came and went with a whimper. As expected, Trump continues to make other criminals who haven't done their crimes yet, feel good about themselves. Noted that Nikki Haley dropped out of the race after winning Vermont (which should be a red flag for Trump) but not before refusing to endorse him...and going as far as to label him a loser.

Finally, what are some of your bad habits that you think others notice? Well a study was done to tell us about some eating and food habits that turn others off a lot! Slurping your soup....eating off someone elses plate? Plus remember those old infomercials and the exercise equipment they were always hawking to everyone?

584 - Epsteins Files

1/5/2024

On this week's episode of the show Jenna Roberson joins us once again to discuss the newly released Epstein list of individuals from the court case. Jenna joins Mark Bland and Jason Kull on this first episode of the 2024 election year.

First up Mark brings to the table a weird story regarding Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets. Rogers accused Jimmy Kimmel of being on the Epstein list which Jimmy Kimmel did not like. And understandably so when you accuse people of being pedophiles. Kimmel lashed out and tweeted back that he was going to sue Aaron Rodgers and then he needed to watch his mouth. Mark and the guys discussed this topic and that leads to their next attempt.

Next up our wonderful guests and hosts decide to try and figure out who might be on Epstein's list before they read it. Each of them take turns choosing a name until they have selected three names to be potentially on the list. Do they pick the people you're thinking or are they going after people you don't consider to be a threat for this list? Tune in and find out who they think is on it.

Finally there are questions that people just feel they can't ask in public. Mark reached out to a bunch of people and ask them for questions that they typically would not ask others in public but are questions that they thought across their minds... And some of the questions are pretty on the spot sensitive and not something you would ask in public. Find out what these guys answered by listening to this new episode of The Q.
