Q102 Morning Show

Not only has Laura already bought Halloween candy, but she COUNTED every piece. And now, thanks to a listener's text, she' threatening to do a SPREADSHEET. You've got to hear this! We also talked about a boy band who would like to not be forgotten, things we hated as kids but love as adults, and the Fortnite video game settlement. That almost came to blows!

Do nerdy guys make the best husbands?   Tim & Laura also chat with Todd Bergeth about Nick Chubb's horrible knee injury and Todd's expert level Pirate Speak on this "Talk Like A Pirate Day"!    Meanwhile, do the mosquitos seem extra bad right now?   And nothing says 'We're doing a project' like 10 trips to the hardware store so you might just see Laura and her Dad there as they soon build a ho...

It's always a riot to have Momma Linda (Laura's mom) join the show. She didn't have anything good to say about the ENDING of "Luce." Tim suggested that Laura get a KISSING MACHINE for the time away from her husband. We also talked about a little kid who ordered a bunch of stuff through Alexa and Tim's confusion over what the date is. (February 18 is a long way from September 18, Tim!)

How early is too early to decorate for Halloween?   Laura has a theory on that based on tomatoes.   But what about those Mutant Tomatoes?   Do you have any lurking around?    Meanwhile, you can hire a Hollywood celebrity to do your chores. Tim breaks down how much it'll cost ya based on which celebrity you hire. 

It's another Thursday which means a brand new In The Kitchen Tip with Laura McKenna brought to you by Kitchen Fair by Don's Building Center!   Plus, the latest National Anthem by Queen Latifah according to "Tim's Anthem Rating Standards".  If your future had a flavor, what would it be?  And Todd joins the convo to chat about Southern Drawls and the good TV series everyone on the show is watching. 

What's the most annoying cliche you've heard at work?  Plus, the easy way to score higher on tests without studying!  Then brace yourself:   Tim surprises us by actually "liking" this brand new album.  Meanwhile, Laura actually liked a comedy movie for once and is hoping for a sequel! 

Reminisce with Tim & Laura about your favorite video games on this National Video Games Day (and boy did Laura play some off-the-wall games growing up)!   Are Early Birds or Night Owls healthier people?  Ed Sheeran surprises a couple in Vegas and serenades them at their wedding.   And Tim gives his Taste Test review of Meati Carne Asada (a mushroom steak). 

MaryElin joined Laura today in Tim's absence to discuss the best way to get the "deep fried food smell" out of your house as well as the new trend in wedding desserts.   You'll also hear insider Fantasy Football tips from our resident 'expert'.  And Todd Bergeth has hopeful advice for fans after the Viking's first loss. 

Listen to the end for the "Pumpkin Spice-Real or Fake?" game! Laura and Todd Bergeth also go head to head on "Finish the headline," Tim's wrecking it for Taylor Swift fans by exposing how often her songs rhyme "car" and "bar," and be careful of the One Chip Challenge.

The ever-emotional "I Trust You'll Treat Me Well" first day of school reading by Tim's daughter Katie, questionable A.I. songs and rules about A.I. political ads, the summers biggest scams, and Laura's IN THE KITCHEN tip...now sponsored by Kitchen Fair by Don's Building Center. Just a fifteen-minute listen! - Tim & Laura

It's more about whether people think certain pet peeves are legitimate or ridiculous. We also talked about the confusion of the Minnesota rebate checks coming from Missoula, Montana, how video gamers make good surgeons, and the origins of our surnames (Burns, McKenna, Bergeth). Listen and subscribe!

The plane bio hazard isn't the FIRST story, but it is the most, ahem, interesting. We talked about why the Jonas Brothers did a shorter set at the Minnesota State Fair (you might not know the whole story), the passing of Steve Harwell of Smash Mouth, Laura's expensive cat "Phil Dawson" is home with her! And a little chat about movies we've seen and liked. Thanks for clicking to listen to just the...

What a listener found on a Florida beach leads to the most-dad joke-like punchline from Tim ever (groan)! Laura's going boating with the family, Todd Bergeth and Laura go head-to-head on another "Finish the Headline" competition, and what do Tim and Billy Joel have in common?? Click to listen (and we'd really appreciate it if you would subscribe)! - Tim & Laura

Don't worry, the scorpion was in Texas! Laura gives an update on the $5,000 cat, we try to figure out how a two ton totem pole got stolen from Canada and ended up in Scotland, Tim thinks he'd actually enjoy Laura's Meati brand meatless steaks and chicken (?), and WHERE are the hardest-working Americans? - Tim & Laura

Listen to the cat that seems to be missing his owner, asking, "Mom? Where are you mom?"  Ever feud with family members? We learned an interesting story about why the band Oasis broke up. Also, why it's good for your kids to be involved in sports (and music), Laura claims she has a sports record at her home town in Ohio, Why do so many pickle jars NOT say "pickles" on them? And a lot more topics!

We covered a lot of topics for a Friday! You're going to be away for six days. How many pairs of underwear do you pack? You might be surprised at the results of a survey. There's an NFL player who puts MAYO in his coffee, more thoughts on Super Bowl halftime entertainers, and a title bestowed upon Grand Marais, MN. Have you been there? - Tim & Laura

Statistically, more people call in sick on August 24 than any other day of the year. Find out what day is #2. Taylor Swift does a pretty good impression of a Minnesota Soccer Mom (and it is likely to offend those who thought "Fargo" took it too far). While talking about lost and found wallets, a listener called in the something SHOCKING that was lost, then part of it found. And Laura's "In The Kit...

Tim has veggies left in his driveway, asks for meat! There's wagering happening on the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show, "LOL" is being replaced by something that Laura thinks makes no sense, we learn the history of the Jacuzzi, and Laura witnessed a new one at a wedding: a witness lottery??

If you know anyone caught up in an internet phishing scam, you know how frustrating that can be. We have a few examples from today. Hear about a woman who won a big lottery because of a superstition she has, what age is considered to be old? and what Beverly Hills teens think the average American's salary is (not even close)! - Tim & Laura

Hear the complete story about how a little jar of jelly led to injury and chaos at Tim's house: stitches for his wife, emergency surgery for one of his dogs. There was some GOOD news on the show today: Hormel and SPAM are sending food relief to Maui, and Laura is officiating a wedding for a couple who met at Kwik Trip! Click to listen and we'd love it if you would subscribe! - Tim & Laura

MaryElin fills in with Laura on this National Tell A Joke Day.   Todd weighs in on the Michael Oher Blind Side lawsuit plus Laura and MaryElin give their verdicts.  What's the funniest character in a movie in the last century?   And every time Laura mentions her cat, MaryElin always thinks of this blast from the past! 

What is Cat GPT? Well, it's Chat GPT doing fortune readings about Laura and the future with her expensive, rescued cat!  We also talked toay about side hustles (check the Facebook post to see what some of our listeners are doing to make $$ on the side), and Laura can't understand why anyone would just go and look at Mt. Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota. "What do you want to do, CLIMB IT...

We all know by now that Laura doesn't like Math. So Tim threw TWO math things at her: how scientists know that Mars is spinning faster, and a new TikTok trend called "Girl Math." Tim shucked so much corn that he doesn't even want to eat any now, and his smart watch keeps alerting his wife about a "hard fall," even when he's sitting still! Thanks for clicking to listen!

We almost came to blows over uncontrolled intersections! Laura claims that there's no such thing in Wisconsin! And while that went on for a few segments in the morning, it wasn't all about intersections! We touched on a Tik Tokker's natural fake tan hack and how August 12 is National Garage Sale day. Thanks for listening! - Tim & Laura

MaryElin joined Laura this morning and they finally broke open the bag of corn nuts Laura was gifted over a week ago!   Plus, do you call it a PortaPotty?  PortaJohn?   Thunderbox?  Portable Toilet? Mini Biff?  Or something else?   Let the toilet talk continue!
