Joey’s back has been hurting for a few weeks, and he needed to take some medicine for it. He only had kid’s strength Advil at home, so he took some, then worried if it okay was for adults to take kid medicine. Fanboy Expo happened over the weekend and lots of people came to town to meet celebrities. Who would you drive multiple hours to meet? Nancy and her family went to New York City this weekend. Her 12-year-old and his friend did not care about any of the iconic tourist spots. Instead, all they wanted to do was go to the ice cream museum. They also saw their first ever topless woman while walking through Times Square. Joey saw the new Superman movie again and loved it! The guy sitting in front of him was in a full Superman costume. Karly went to Fanboy Expo and saw several Supermans and a few furries. Hot Tea: Jelly Roll and Logan Paul are going to fight in WWE. George Strait is doing a concert to benefit the flood victims in Texas. Facial recognition was used to identify a woman who was twerking on top of a cop car. Do you really have to wait 30 minutes after eating to go swimming? NOPE! It’s a myth! When Nancy was flying to NYC, the plane had to make an emergency landing because the plane’s windshield SHATTERED! She then had to take a 3-hour taxi ride from Philidelphia to New York. Lucky 7 A study found people’s favorite American accents, and the Cajun accent is apparently people’s favorite? There’s a new hack going viral for how to cool off your car- open a window on the passenger side and pump the driver’s side door to out the hot air out. If you want to cool your house down, cover your windows with a layer of yogurt. Joey’s family keeps playing pickleball and they love it! It’s nice to have a physical activity that all members of the family enjoy doing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wir reisen zurück in die 80er – mit Country-Songs ausschliesslich aus diesem Jahrzehnt. Die 80er waren ein Wendepunkt: Neotraditionalisten wie George Strait trafen auf Künstler, die mit neuen Sounds experimentierten. Zwei Stunden voller Klassiker, Überraschungen und echtem 80s-Feeling.

We were talking about the cans of Liquid Death sold with Ozzy Osbourne's DNA leading Amy to reveal why she wants to clone George Strait. In Fun Fact Friday, a disturbing fact about soda that makes us second guess putting it in our bodies and a sad realization behind the smell of freshly cut grass we all love. After a champion was crowned last week, the big dog, Eddie finally made his return to Easy Trivia! We tried this Simple Fitness Test that can predict whether you'll eie in the next 10 years.

In this unfiltered and unforgettable episode, host Taylor McAdams kicks her boots up with one of her closest friends, Megan Ray. A social media powerhouse with deep rodeo roots, Megan shares her journey from the ticket booth of the Ellensburg Rodeo to managing social strategy for major Western brands. The two reminisce about their chaotic (and hilarious) internship during the 2020 NFR and how it trauma-bonded them for life: yes, including the time they became impromptu customer service reps when an entire streaming app crashed.Through laughter, lessons, and lots of "mhm's," Megan reminds us that the best career moments often come from simply saying yes and believing in your own potential. This is a must-listen for anyone who's ever wondered if they belong at the table and decided to pull up a chair anyway.

In preparation for her return to New England this weekend. We have Aubrie Sellers on the podcast!

We dig into Aubries career and upbringing with some fun details you may be surprised about!

After yesterday's warm weather, things cool off today with a high of just 72° and some showers & thunderstorms throughout the area. We let you know what's new on New Release Tuesday and we talked to Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports show. In the news this morning, the horrible killing of Jonathan Joss yesterday, Italy's Mount Etna erupted, one of the Manson Family murderers has been released on parole, a pet zebra escaped in Tennessee & caused some chaos, and the DNR issued another air quality warning because of the Canadian wildfires. In sports, the Brewers extended their winning streak to eight games with a victory over the Reds last night, the NHL finals begin tomorrow night and the NBA finals begin on Thursday. Elsewhere in sports, Saquon Barkley is on the cover of the new Madden game, the Lions center has retired, Journalism is set to run at the Belmont Stakes, and the Mariners are going to retire Randy Johnson's number. We talked about some money-saving "hacks" that might be costing you more than you know…and a new filter on Tinder to weed out the short dudes. Country legend George Strait recently gifted a new home to a Military Veteran, and a woman discovered she had a tumor thanks to a mistake made by an MRI technician. In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy trying to get a bunch of venomous snakes on a plane, a woman who strangled her roommate because of dirty dishes, a woman in Louisiana who destroyed a car with syrup & sugar, and the latest on Bonnie Blue.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Off Topic, we're diving into what actually keeps people watching your Instagram Stories — and why posting up to 5 a day might be your new secret weapon for retention. I break down key stats from Social Insider and share tips to hook your audience before they swipe away.Then, I'm giving you my honest review of the George Strait concert — from the setlist to the stage energy and why the King of Country still has it. Finally, we wrap it all up with this week's Country Music Weekly — the latest songs, rising stars, and what's been on repeat.Hit play, and let's get into it.

We follow one "Pure Country" hit with another: 1992's "I Cross My Heart".  George Strait doffs the pyrotechnics (or something like that) and gets intimate in this one, but how do these rolling harmonic and melodic hills frame this speaker's specific message of commitent?  And what about that key change??

Recognized highly in modern country and various media, Blake Shelton and Morgan Wallen have returned with new albums this month.

What twelve songs would sustain you if you were stranded on a desert island for the rest of your life? Matt Sidhom finally reveals his carefully curated Desert Island Mix—a musical journey that offers surprising insights into his life, memories, and what matters most.The mix opens with deeply personal selections: his wedding dance song Dave Matthews' "So Damn Lucky" and George Strait's touching "Love Without End" representing Matt's love for his children. From there, the musical landscape expands dramatically to include Bruce Springsteen's inspiring live rendition of "Growing Up," Billy Joel's cinematic "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant," and Kool Moe Dee's lyrically brilliant "I Go to Work."Each song serves a specific purpose for island survival: Badly Drawn Boy's subtle Christmas track "Donna and Blitzen" to mark the passage of time, Weezer's defiant "Pork and Beans" as a soundtrack for learning survival skills, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer's experimental "Carnival 9" for when isolation hallucinations might set in. The philosophical questions posed in The Killers' "Human" ("Are we human or are we dancer?") take on new meaning in extended solitude.What makes this episode fascinating isn't just the diverse musical selections spanning rock, country, rap, and prog—it's the window these choices open into Matt's values, memories, and what brings comfort in isolation. The perfectly chosen closing track, The Rolling Stones' "Waiting on a Friend," captures the ultimate desert island emotion.As you listen, you'll inevitably wonder: what songs would make your own Desert Island Mix?

And what tensions might this song encapsulate between the journeys of "Dusty" and real-life George Strait?
