The Morning After with Mike Kellar + Jenny Matthews

Our interns are in the last week of being with us before they head back to school! We thought this would be the perfect time to answer any more questions they might have, and they didn't disappoint!

We've never done anything like this before! This episode is our first ever ON LOCATION recording, and we can't thank the incredible staff at SAIL AWAY WINE for hosting us! Sail Away Wine is located in North Kansas City, near the intersection of Swift Ave and Armour Blvd. They have 72 wines on tap from all over the world, and if you're not a wine expert, you will be by the end of this episode. Thank you to every one of our listeners who joined us for this experience!

We're flipping the script, and having our 2023 summer interns ask US questions!

Welcome back Jenny! She just got back from a trip to her hometown of Westminster, Maryland. During her journey, she drove by all the schools she went to growing up, and we talk about the joys of driving down Memory Lane. We also announce where we will do our first ever LIVE recording of an episode. Then... the terrible allegations against Jimmie Allen. We hope it's all fake news, but it's not looking good. Finally, the WILD adventures had by Mike at Arrowhead during the Luke Combs concert. It's a jam packed episode, and we're grateful you're a part of it!

Hi friends! We had an eventful weekend at Lake of the Ozarks which culminated with us WINNING the 1st place award for Large Market Morning Show! We have several stories to share from a hilarious, fast weekend and we can't for you to hear them! Thank you for listening, we still can't believe there are qualified people on this planet who think we're award worthy, but we'll never take it for granted.

Noted Target superfan Jenny Matthews posted on her social media last week that she is currently choosing to not shop there, but that doesn't mean she wants them cancelled! We really enjoyed having this conversation through the first half of this episode, and we think for all the divisive talk being spread around, about 80 to 90 percent of America will agree with our take on the whole situation! Please vote for us at vote.kansascitymag.com for best podcast in the City Life category! Thank you, as always, for choosing to listen to us!

Hi friends! Both Mike + Jenny have NEW PUPPIES to tell you all about! It's been an adventure, that's for sure! Also, it's award szn and we need your help!

Fresh from a trip to the panhandle of Florida, Mike is back to share a wonderful story of his father, the unexpected turn his life took, and the new friends he made to help him through it. WARNING: Plenty of wine was consumed, so the recap of the story may not be fully accurate. Enjoy!

Nothing is off limits with this podcast! If you're familiar with a product called Cologuard... Jenny had to use it and shares *most of* the details in this episode. Mike also shares his experience of going to UFC Fight Night in Kansas City, and we take a moment to be proud of ourselves, as everyone should do once in a while!

Sorry for being so basic, but our whole conversation is only about puppies and wine. Enjoy!

This is one of many questions we ask during another round of our favorite game, Table Topics! Random questions, random answers, random discussions, which are usually our favorite!

Hell has frozen over. There was a true crime documentary playing in MIKE'S house last night! The Murdaugh Mystery has now become such a big deal, even the Kellars can't help but follow along. We share our thoughts, opinions, and we're sure you have your own as well. In the second half, we have kind of an all over the place conversation that culminates with Mike recapping the morning that his dog, Hank, passed away. It's very raw, it's very real, it's very emotional, and fair warning, it WILL ruin your eye makeup.

Unfortunately, this divorce has gotten very public, and very ugly. Nobody asked for our opinion or advice on the matter, but we'll share anyway. If you're a child of divorced parents, we think you'll particularly relate to this episode.

WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THIS STORY ABOUT JENNY'S SON! When kids reach a certain age, they have questions. Raunchy questions. Which lead to hilarious stories. Enjoy it, and a surprise guest at the end of this episode!

Mike + Jenny take a trip down their respective memory lanes in this episode! From Janet Jackson to TRL, to old tapes that exist that make them grateful no one has a VCR anymore!

Last year, Mike + Jenny did a segment called "Welcome to My World", where Mike bravely ventured with Jenny for a day of facials, mimosas, and shopping. In this episode, it's Jenny's turn! Mike reveals that Jenny will be joining him in attending a live professional wrestling event, and Jenny's reaction isn't what you might expect! This and many other conversations are had in this episode. As always, thanks for listening!

This is our first podcast episode in almost a month! Let's catch up on what happened over the holidays and set up what should be an awesome year!

Can you believe this is the 100th episode of the Morning After?! We appreciate you for giving it a shot. This one is all about you! We take all your questions you've emailed us and we answer them! Simple enough? We love doing this, so please feel free to be a part of the podcast by emailing your questions/comments/whatever! to mike@q104kc.com or jenny@q104kc.com

We're joined in this episode by Nikki French, who will be one of hundreds of vendors at this year's Holiday Boutique at the Overland Park Convention Center! We'll learn about all the things to expect this year, and a HILARIOUS story about the origin of her name.

It's CMA Week in Nashville, and this week Mike is joined by Lydia Taylor, host of Afternoons on Q104! They spent a couple of days in Music City with some of country music's biggest stars and the conversations are incredible! We promise the questions WE ask aren't like any others. Enjoy, and happy CMA Week!

We cannot thank you enough for all the positive feedback we received about the first 'Know It All' episode, so we decided to keep it going this week!

We're so close to our THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY as co-hosts of the Morning Drive on Q104! Hard to believe, but it's true! In that three years, we've learned a lot about each other, and you've learned a lot about us. In this episode, we really sat down to think of things we haven't discussed, so that you can get to know us on a deeper level. We really had fun recording this episode, and we hope you enjoy listening to it just as much!

This episode is all about traveling! We'll hear about Jenny's recent trip to her hometown in Maryland for her niece's wedding. Then, you'll hear a nightmare involving Mike's father-in-law's recent visit to KC. (Don't worry, it all made for a great story.) BONUS: Short episode today because Jenny had a meeting to get to about her contract, and we'll hear all her crazy demands at the end of the episode! (Please don't take any of that conversation seriously...)

Two things to share with you in this episode! 1. An awesome conversation with Tyler Hubbard, formerly of Florida Georgia Line, about the launch of his solo career, and Jesus! 2. All the baby updates from Mike as his daughter Chandler turns one month old already!

SURPRISE! On this episode, Jenny took a trip over to Mike's house to catch up on how the new dad, and new family, are doing! Whether you've been a parent for 30 days or 30 years, we think you'll relate to just about everything in this conversation.

We've decided we're going to spend a day in the life of our radio partner, and Jenny's up first! She took Mike out for a day of mimosas and facials! She'll share everything, as well as sit down with Matt Toronto from Aestheticare to talk more about said facials, and all the other self-care options they have!

Sorry not sorry for the title. Mike has been dealing with a lot of moisture at his house lately, so it seemed appropriate to name this episode that word! The Lord has been preparing the Kellars for parenthood in mysterious ways, and we can't wait to share it all with you!

We've got a little bit of everything in this episode! Jenny shares her new life balance of healthy eating and occasionally pigging out, and that leads into an impressive conversation with singer Ingrid Andress about... potato chips?! Then, we chat about all the upcoming big changes in our lives, as well as reflecting back on previous big life moments. And speaking of major life changes, after TEN YEARS, Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line is going solo. We talk to him about how difficult it was to make that decision.

Sometimes you just need to let it all out! Mike and his wife are going through ALL the stressful things as they get ready for their baby girl to arrive. Jenny has a HOT take about a current trial that many of you know all about. But don't worry, we promise the second half is all positive vibes!

It was a weekend of highs and lows for Mike. In this episode, we go deeper than we did on the radio about what happened, and how one person restored a little faith in humanity for all of us.

We had the privilege of welcoming Tim McGraw to Q104 for a conversation about his song "$7500 obo", the success of "1883" on Paramount+, and even some workout advice for Jenny as she starts the 75Soft Challenge! We really enjoyed this interview and we hope you will too. Also in this episode, Mike and his wife Katie are 30 weeks into pregnancy, and it's starting to get real for the parents-to-be! Finally, we'll wish Jenny well as we try our best to prepare her to travel on her own for the first time in a long time!

He's got a Top 10 show on Netflix, and he joins us this week on the podcast! We're joined by Hollywood medium Tyler Henry to talk about how he connects with his audience, how he deals with non-believers, and what it's like when you realize you can talk to people who have passed on! Afterwards, we talk more about our beliefs, and our relationships with those who have passed on. This was a really interesting discussion and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it!

We've hit a mental roadblock. So this episode is pretty much an "Ask Us Anything" kind of podcast, and all questions were submitted through the Q104 text line! (816) 600-7104 is that number. So here are all our answers to those burning questions! Thanks to all who asked!

About 5 minutes before we started recording, Jenny's daughter Jules stopped by the studio, so we decided to invite her to join us on this week's episode! (If you hear rattling in the background, that's just her getting some more Tic Tacs) Mike's poor dog Hank had to get some teeth removed this week, we'll tell you how he's doing. Also we'll chat with Jules about starting middle school this fall!

Anyone who's lived in Kansas City for a decent amount of time knows KSHB 41 Chief Meteorologist Gary Lezak. After 30 years on the air, he recently announced he's retiring in December. He was kind enough to join us to talk about his incredible career, and what he plans to do after he signs off for the last time. We cannot thank Gary enough for giving us a few moments of his time.

We recorded this episode the day after the inexcusable actions of an 18-year-old gunman in Uvalde, Texas. Emotions and opinions in this episode are raw. Not everyone will agree with the opinions expressed, and that's OK. We're going to have a conversation. A meaningful one. And hopefully, finally, make a difference.

We found a random question generator on the internet, and the first question alone is worth listening to! Get to know us a little better in this episode, and Mike... CALM DOWN!

This turned into one of our favorite conversations of all time! We're joined by former Q104 personality Ronnie Phillips, and it unexpectedly turned into one of the most real, raw conversations we've ever had. We'll dive into a conversation about mental health from a man's point of view, and it might actually change your life. Also, Ronnie's company, Heartland Waterfowl, has an incredible event coming up that you absolutely need to be a part of!

Don't freak out... but we're diving into RELIGION on this episode! Don't worry, nothing controversial. Just a good talk about our personal relationships with God, our thoughts on church in general, and how He's molded our current relationships. You're hearing a different side of us here, we hope you enjoy it!

Yeah, we went there. How can you not be fascinated by the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard trial? Even Mike admits, this trial is must watch TV! We'll dive into it with all our thoughts and opinions. We'll also share a funny text exchange between Mike and Tater before the Parker McCollum concert, and then an unexpected concert t-shirt discussion! (Sorry we're a day late this week, we'll be better next week!)

We just wanted to take this episode and catch up on life! We welcome back Tater who we haven't heard from in a few weeks, and Mike gives us all the latest as his wife is now 17 weeks pregnant! Oh, and Jenny mentions the odd person she wanted in the room while delivering her first child!

We're stepping out of our comfort zone and talking about something we rarely mention... the business side of country music. It's real, and it needs a shake up. We start with a conversation with country artist Michael Ray, and ask him if he sees and/or wants to see, a change on the horizon. We'll also discuss country's relationship with politics, and honest thoughts about Eric Church's relationship with his fans.

We've been waiting a long time to publicly talk about this! MIKE KELLAR IS GOING TO BE A DAD! On this very special episode, we talk about all the secrets we've been keeping over the past two months leading up to the public announcement. Jenny also opens up more about the dog incident that happened in studio. We hope you enjoy this very personal episode :)

We were so honored to be able to speak to so many country artists leading up to the ACM Awards. In this episode, you'll hear the talks we had with some of your favorites, including Jordan Davis, Lady A, Parker McCollum and so many more! We also took a lot of pride in getting these artists to have conversations they haven't had before, and we're really happy with what came out of it. We hope you enjoy these interviews as much as we did!

Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to visit Las Vegas ahead of the ACM Awards. While we have a lot in common, we have very different ideas of what an ideal Saturday night in Vegas looks like! Join us as we take turns sharing our adventures in Sin City from a trip we won't soon forget!

We have so much to talk about! We apologize for being a day late with this episode... we were flat out too tired to put it out on time! But some incredible conversation awaits you in this episode, including a better understanding of the current MLB lockout. We also reveal some questions that we try to ask our radio listeners when they call in, and answer a few ourselves! Prepare for a deeper conversation than you might expect!

There has been a major scandal involving Sam Hunt going on in Nashville over the last several days, and we have a lot to say about it on this episode. But it's not all bad. We'll talk about random (and MAJOR) acts of kindness in the second half. And don't worry about the end of this episode where we actually forget we're recording a podcast...

SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched the Tinder Swindler on Netflix, and you plan on watching it, there are spoilers in this episode. We also discuss Mike's shocking non-love for the Halftime Show, and give a major shout out to Mrs. Kellar on her big career news!

This episode is for everyone who is, or who will someday be, parents. Because when you're a parent, kids have questions. And sometimes those questions are tough to answer. Like where do babies come from? Jenny shares the hilarious story of her 9-year-old son asking similar questions, and we'll talk about how Disney/Pixar is hoping to normalize something that all women go through.

We recorded this episode on a very snowy day in Kansas City, so we thought it'd be awesome to talk about the fun of snow days as a kid, and how they should NEVER take those away from kids, even with virtual learning now being an option. We'll also talk about a conspiracy theory about Patrick Mahomes that more and more people are starting to believe. And the story that Producer Tater shares in the first five minutes is... a story that you would only expect from him!

It is impossible to talk about anything else besides the Chiefs in Kansas City right now! So, keepin' it real, this is it. Football and food. Two of the greatest things in the world!
