Battle In The Morning

After basketball practice, Battle sits down with Liam to tackle third grade homework… and realizes he might be the one who needs tutoring (shout out to Abbey!). 😂 Battle opens up the phones at 615-737-1059 and asks the real question: Should school homework be banned?

Jessica called in with an “Am I a Jerk?” that set the phones on fire: she went OFF on her boyfriend after finding out he bought his ex-wife a Valentine’s Day gift “from the kids.” Is that a thoughtful co-parent move… or a Valentine’s Day line you don’t cross?

Battle’s wife wants them to go to a psychic and get their palms read, and Battle is trying to be supportive… while fully believing it’s nonsense. He’s convinced if psychics were real, they’d already know he’s coming. Now Battle wants to know: do you believe in psychics, and has one ever nailed something they couldn’t possibly know?

Battle hits the gas station for a quick fill-up… and gets stuck behind a guy who parks at the pump, locks the car, and walks inside without even buying gas. So what’s the rule? Is Battle being petty, or is that guy the real jerk?

Battle and the wife finally do their “make-up Valentine’s dinner,” and everything’s perfect… until the check shows up with a suggested tip that feels like a car payment. Is tipping culture getting out of hand, or are we just getting bullied by the button

Battle’s got a workplace etiquette question that turned into a full-blown rant after a post-show video meeting went completely off the rails… because one person decided it was mealtime AND stayed unmuted. So what’s the verdict: Is it rude or normal to eat during a work meeting? Battle opens the phone lines and lets YOU decide

Battle is calling it: buying roses on Valentine’s Day might be the biggest romance scam of the year. Why go broke to prove love on one day when you’re supposed to show it every day? We’re debating whether V-Day roses are overrated or still undefeated

Rob called into the show for “Am I a Jerk?” He took his kids to Hooters to watch the game… and his wife was NOT having it. Plus, it's Battle’s birthday

Today on Battle In The Morning, we’re debating whether it’s fair for employers to check your social media before they hire you, or if that’s a straight-up invasion of privacy. Where’s the line between protecting a company’s image and policing someone’s personal life?

Battle thought he scored the deal of the year on a new TV, until the register rang up a totally different price and the store refused to honor the shelf tag. So what’s the rule supposed to be… and what’s fair? Battle breaks down the moment, the manager showdown, and asks the big question: Should stores honor wrong pricing?

A listener admits he sprays wiper fluid to splash tailgaters. Jerk or genius? We debate it.

Today on the show, Battle talks about the nasty winter weather that's coming this weekend. Listners call in to give their thoughts on if it's really going to be this bad

Battle shares why he’s been out the past couple of days and opens up about something he’s kept private for several months: his wife was diagnosed with cancer last year. He explains that he never talked about it publicly, choosing instead to focus on getting her through months of radiation and the emotional weight that comes with carrying something that big in silence.

Today on the show, Battle throws out a question, 'If you could know the exact day you’re going to die… would you want to know?' Battle’s a hard no, because once that date is in your brain, it’s basically a permanent pop-up ad ruining every moment. And when the phones light up, listeners come in hot—some want the date so they can live it up, others say it would mess with their head nonstop.

Battle and his wife got into a very real argument over the dishwasher, because apparently there are two kinds of people: the “pre-rinse everything” crowd… and the “that’s literally what the dishwasher is for” crowd. Battle admits he was loading dirty dishes straight in, and his wife was NOT having it. So he took it to the listeners and opened the phones with one simple question: Do you rinse… or n...

We’re cracking open a jar and some good conversation with Tim Smith from Discovery’s Moonshiners and Master Distiller. From behind-the-scenes secrets to how he dreams up new moonshine flavors, Tim gives us the lowdown on the upcoming season, what makes each show tick, and whether his own line of overalls is on the horizon.

This morning on the show, a listener called in with a dilemma. Her 13-year-old son, an awesome kid who just isn’t great at basketball, and the tough parent dilemma that comes with it: keep spending the time and money on travel ball when he barely gets playing time… or let him quit?

Battle breaks down a viral Reddit list of things we all did in the ’90s that would NOT fly in 2026, showing up unannounced, babysitting at 10, mooning people… and yes, getting left in the car while your mom “ran in real quick.” Plus: listeners chime in with their wildest “’90s normal” memories.

Over the weekend, Battle took his kid to a trampoline park in Hendersonville, went for a dunk… and his body instantly regretted it. 😂 Then we get real: when did you realize you’re getting old?

Today’s a big one!! Battle In The Morning officially hits ONE YEAR! 🎉 Seriously… thank you for rocking with me, letting me be part of your mornings, and turning this show into what it is. And because it’s an anniversary celebration, we’re doing it the right way: One Stupid Question is back… and you can win tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld!

Battle is BACK from the holiday break and we’re kicking the year off loud! One Stupid Question is back all week, and we’ve got tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld up for grabs! Plus, Justin calls in for “Am I a Jerk?” after not being the DD on New Year’s Eve… because he’s sober now. Is that a boundary he’s allowed to set, or did he leave the crew hanging? And then… it gets weird. We dive into the questi...

Jenny called in with a holiday dilemma: is she a jerk for wanting to opt out of her office Secret Santa? Between the stress of Christmas, not really knowing her coworkers, and zero energy to hunt down the “perfect” gift, she’s wondering if skipping it makes her the bad guy. Battle breaks it down, listeners weigh in, and things get very relatable for anyone who’s ever been voluntold into office hol...

Today on Battle In The Morning, things got… messy. Jake called in to see if was a jerk or not. Jake absolutely obliterated the bathroom at a friend’s Thanksgiving. Now his wife says he’s a jerk for doing that in someone else’s house. So Battle brought it to the show: Is Jake a jerk… or just a helpless victim of turkey, pie, and cheese overload?

Battle thought he found the perfect shirt on TikTok… until it showed up looking like it came straight from the discount bin at a gas station. Now he’s questioning every “TikTok Made Me Buy It” moment he’s ever had. In today’s episode, Battle breaks down how he got absolutely bamboozled, and we open up the phone lines to hear YOUR stories, the scams, the letdowns, the “this is NOT what I ordered” h...

Battle dives into a wild new parenting trend that’s blowing up online: giving every sibling a present on ONE kid’s birthday. Is it thoughtful… or total chaos? From childhood jealousy to modern-day “everybody wins” parenting, Battle shares his take, his own family debate, and opens the phone lines to hear what Nashville thinks. 🎙️ Catch the conversation every weekday & follow for more!
