The Chris and Amy Show on KMOX

Was Chris wrong to leave his friend's wedding 'early'? Have weddings gotten too long? What about goodbyes at weddings, 'don't mess up their dance,' says Amy.

Amy gets into a minor tiff with a texter who challenges her over the name of Busch Memorial Stadium.

Financial planner Dave Simons talks about the impacts of inflation; a set of UK teens figured out how to fool social media screenings, a fake mustache; Nick Greene wrote a how-to guide for soccer viewing; Amy pushes back on a texter who is misinformed about the name of Busch Stadium.

Amy says she doesn't like soccer because of ties, but Nick Greene, author of the new book 'How to Watch Soccer like a Genius', says they came about by accident! He says her 'ire goes back to the 1800s and poor scheduling.' Nick explores the fascinating stories and interesting tidbits that grew soccer into the worldwide phenomenon it is today.

'Inflation is trending higher,' says Dave Simons, Partner & Managing Director at One Private Wealth, and he says he wouldn't be surprised to see it, 'above 4% this summer.' Simons joins Chris & Amy every Tuesday. 'Could we get to 5%?' asks Simons. 'I don't think that's out of the realm of possibility.'

Its not a 'sky is falling,' moment for the Cardinals, 'but it's a bummer,' says KMOX's Matt Pauley of the Cards Sunday loss to the Padres. The Cardinals head to Sacramento for games against the Athletics this week.

Chris and Amy react to the news of Americans headed to an isolation facility following a hantavirus infested cruise; would you still camp out overnight for a concert? Chris wouldn't; why are we seeing bills from FedEx for packages shipped months ago?; Did you see this?

Did you see this? Amy is 'offended for older, older people,' who had trouble finding the Cardinals games this weekend as the games were all on different networks. 'I think you should be grandfathered in to paper tickets,' and one station for Cardinals games jokes Amy. A new YouGov poll about a fight with Donald Trump is drawing some attention.

Amy explains a surprising trend of consumers receiving bills from shipping companies, to cover tariff charges. The shippers initially paid the tariff charges, and are now passing them along to the purchasers, months later. 'Out of principle, I would not be paying,' says Rongey.
