Q102 Morning Show

Don't fall for the "name one woman" TikTok challenge, guys! It's a trap! Find out what Tim, Todd Bergeth, and Laura's husband said. New Minnesota Twins and Vikings license plates will be available in January. How did THAT turn political?? Hear about another good, unique Christmas gift idea, "pet panic," and a new Kaley Cuoco movie that looks pretty good (also starring someone who is in the new ser...

"Stayin' Alive" is ONE of the songs that has the CPR beats per minute, but there's a bunch more and we played a few of them. Also on the podcast, you'll hear Laura doesn't like a candidate for "person" of the year, make sure you up to date on the latest trends like boy dinners and wrap getaways, why going to bed at the same time nightly might be more important than the number of hours you sleep, a...

Did you hear why Laura had her bag checked at TSA? Listen to this podcast! You'll also hear Tim take a chainsaw to his Christmas tree, get a gift idea from Laura (that Tim and his wife finally caved into), and hear about new vegan NOT Mac & Cheese! - Tim & Laura

Yep, "Authentic" is the word of the year...mostly because of all of the news about that which is NOT authentic: A.I. And that apparently goes for Sports Illustrated. Wait until you hear what they got busted doing.  We heard from a 100% A.I. singer/songwriter. Eh, GONG please. Also Laura's suitcase handle woes and boring tasks that some people actually enjoy. 

High fructose corn syrup in pickles, in cocktail sauce, in bread...make it stop! We also learned how you're about to lose your old Google account if you don't use it, an interesting seizure of product at MSP, why are so many people grouchy during the holidays? And Snoop Dogg songs for kids?? If you like what you hear, subscribe so more people hear our podcast! - Tim & Laura

MaryElin joins the show with Laura to discuss the 2023 Word Of The Year and the most popular slang.   Plus, LET IT BE KNOWN:  Laura has an announcement!  And Todd and MaryElin can't believe the love of their favorite snack isn't shared by everyone.  Plus so much more that you don't want to miss.

Listen to find out what the most broken bone is! And, hear about some of the ways our listener friends have broken bones. We also covered "post-vacation syndrome," protecting yourself this shopping season with masked credit cards, how long you can eat Thanksgiving leftovers (tip: it's DONE, unless your froze them), Tim's Christmas tree-cutting hack, and watch out for real Christmas tree allergens....

Listen to the podcast for the info you might have missed like Black Friday shopping memories (including Laura shoving an old lady), sports guy Todd Bergeth doing turkey calls, "can your stomach explode from eating too much?" Thanksgiving chore spreadsheets and more! Happy Thanksgiving! - Tim & Laura

Find out on this podcast what Thanksgiving-related things people are searching around the country. Also, neither one of us has had shoofly pie, but after looking it up, we think we'd like to try it! We each had some realistic dreams: Tim's lost Roomba location (it's not where he dreamed it was) and Laura's cat was not abducted (as she dreamed it). There was also talk of National TV Day and "what w...

Yep, Tim's Roomba is nowhere to be found. Some listeners offered thoughts on where THEY found theirs...some, after months! It's not all bad luck at his house because his wife won a turkey playing turkey bingo! We learned that the Jennie-O turkeys arrived in Washington, D.C. for pardoning, Laura plays judge and jury on a lottery winning case, and don't miss the blues-singing cat named Bruce!

"Those" are some of the items being locked by stores to prevent theft. Today's topics you won't want to miss include an app that can tell if you've been drinking by recording you doing tongue twisters, a world record for a teacher, feral pigs are encroaching on Minnesota, plus Christmas lights and Christmas trees (one of us hasn't taken HER tree down in years).

The quick highlights from today's show: the average number of concerts people attend in a year, the Timberwolves brawl, grow habitat for bees and butterflies and get $500, Clean out the Fridge Day, "How do you say Zydeco, Laura?", the wait for Britney's audio book, a woman with two uteruses is pregnant in both, a plane had to turn back to JFK because a _____ got loose, and Swedish Surströmming (ga...

On the podcast today: While discussing the foods most people like but our listeners hate, we learned so much about the chemicals in cucumbers! Tim keeps taunting Laura with clips of Christmas songs. Today, make sure you hear a segment of what is being called the worst Christmas song ever! We also covered 1930s slang words we'd like to see come back, McCrocs, and a few interesting origins of big co...

Yep, "tarantula" has to be our winner on the "strange foods people have eaten" topic. A lot of good listener participation on this one! We also talked about the 1984 movie "NeverEnding Story" on this, the birthday of the lead kid Noah Hathaway. Being World Kindness day, Tim offered to send Laura and her husband (still living states apart) to Disneyland for their Christmas events, plus side hustles...

Yep, "Thanksgiving," a horror movie opens November 17 starring our new sexiest man alive. We asked, "How long do you have to be off social media to call it an official "break?"" Plus chats about not attacking an MMA fighter, what onions and Chicago have in common, are Shein/Wish/Temu legit?, and Laura's credit card has a handy feature: masking. Enjoy today's podcast of the "us" part of today's sho...

Tim's wife keeps finding gross recipes from the 50s and threatening to make them. We talked about a few of them. Also on the podcast today: how to tell a Millennial or a Gen Z--by her socks, Laura is caving by looking at Christmas outfits, should a dad be charged for a clown prank?, Tim's doggy poop "auction," and IN THE KITCHEN: "Mama Linda's Broccoli Casserole. Click to listen (19 minutes) and w...

Neither of us is going out of our way to celebrate cappuccino day. How about you? Tim might try the Heinz pickle flavored ketchup though. So many things today! How did Laura surprise her husband for his birthday? Why, or why, didn't Tim smell Garth OR Keith Urban?? And listen to the end to hear some of the stars of Willmar High School's musical, "Grease" (opening this weekend). - Tim & Laura

It seems people are very brand specific when it comes to their condiments, cars, toilet paper, etc.  But would you really be able to pick out your fave food in a blind taste test?   Plus, a tuba player with a knock-out right hook!   And Tim & Laura concoct a plan to embarrass her husband (on his birthday) at his big tax conference in Kentucky.  What could ever go wrong?  

On the podcast today: What's the thing you borrowed that broke while in your possession? (The owner of Tim's broken thing must have been a SAINT)! Cat owners may find interest in the many expressions cats have (would you believe there are more than human expressions?), "Crispy nachos? Or Soggy Nachos?" And why did Laura declare, "The gentleman yields the floor!" ?? 

If you missed it, we heard from listeners about the "dumb" traffic tickets they got (Laura weighs in on whether Tim's was dumb or not), Laura is mighty proud of Tim for trying mushroom coffee with all of its benefits but will he like it?  And a host of other topics from Meg Ryan's new Rom-Com, the best inventions of 2023, and real estate open houses: is it wrong to go to check out the decorating a...

On the podcast today, we encourage you to try the bird challenge on your significant other. It's easy, but you'll have to listen to hear how to do it. We talked about National Deviled Egg and our love of them, but that wasn't Laura's "In The Kitchen" tip today. You'll want to check that out before Thanksgiving. Tim tried to get a DiGiorno Thanksgiving pizza but they were sold out. And, Mariah is b...

On the podcast today: apparently, Laura's not the only one who keeps spreadsheets on trick-or-treating data to be analyzed! We talked about some of our favorite celebrity costumes, the number of people who WOULD buy a house that they know is haunted, and, looking ahead to the next holiday, a THANKSGIVING pizza from DiGiorno? Finally, Kim Kardashians SKIMS are going to be the official underwear of...

Our listeners never disappoint with their creative answer to the Facebook topic: "Your thoughts on this snowy Halloween IN FOUR WORDS!" We also asked our spouses if they know our favorite Halloween candies (do they REALLY know us at all??). It wasn't ALL about Halloween though as we talked about fruit flies, nice things Jelly Roll has done, and haunting thoughts from Matthew Perry... in his own wo...

On the subject of pre-Halloween, we had fun seeing...and talking about...the jack-o-lanterns our listeners made, which of our home states (South Dakota/Ohio) is most likely to be into sexy Halloween costumes, and the love or hatred of candy corn. But there was non-Halloween stuff too: Sports Director Todd taught us a new phrase: Pyrrhic Victory (concerning the Vikings), why Taylor Swift releases m...

We've never covered more divisive topics in one three-hour show (and had so much fun doing it). It started with, "Should Halloween be moved to the Saturday closest to 10/31? Then, should we move Thanksgiving to Sunday? Should the World Series be The "Baseball World Championship Game" with one game...like the Super Bowl? While we're at it, let's talk candy corn, and MORE controversial topics (just...
