It's not impossible to imagine that people behave more badly at New Orleans parades than in the suburbs - but why is that?

There was a lot of bad behavior at Mardi Gras this year, maybe more than other years. It's part of a broader trend in America where people are just generally uglier to one another. What gives?

The latest revelations from the Epstein Files are mostly coming from members of Congress who have been given access to the unredacted names - and the consequences for some have been severe

It's Black History Month - so we're reminding listeners that might have gone to a school that buried and erased Black history that Elvis and Bill Haley did not, in fact, invent rock and roll music

With military hardware piling up in the Middle East and nuclear talks going nowhere fast, we're left to wonder what President Trump is about to do

Scoot and Ian reflect on their experience riding in the Magical Krewe of MadHatters, Bad Bunny's halftime show and... whatever Kid Rock was doing

Attorney General Liz Murrill is going after Gavin Newsom and some California doctors for shipping abortion care pills into the Bayou State - not much is clear about what will happen next

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show was a technical marvel and a feast for the eyes, even for viewers who don't speak Spanish. But conservatives are not likely to soon get over their addiction to being mad about things, so here we are

Gotta keep the outrage machine running at full tilt, or MAGA will get bored

It was this day in 1964 that the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and turned pop culture in America inside out

You should really see a doctor about all that outrage; You've all been waiting for Janice's take on Bad Bunny; Louisiana's war on safe legal abortion is drawing in other states; Yesterday's counterculture is today's establishment

The iconic "Three Dog Night" singer passed away last night - we remember his legacy and his music

After Trevor Noah's bits at the 2026 Grammy Awards, Trump is engaging in lawfare with the comedian - a battle he is certain to lose. But that's not the point, is it?

It's okay to not be looking forward to Bad Bunny's halftime show. You can even hate it and swear you won't watch it - but you can't deny it's a smart move for the NFL to do it

The most popular recording artist on the planet is MAGA's most hated musician right now. Who has time to be angry about this sort of thing? Can't you just change the channel and deal with the fact that you aren't the center of the universe?

Rock legend Chuck Negron dead at 83; Are people really still upset about Bad Bunny's halftime show? What does "this'll be the day that I die mean," anyway?

"Three Dog Night" icon Chuck Negron passed away last night at age 83 - how he survived the heyday of the band's successes is a helluva story

On "The Day the Music Died," we revisit a Don McLean interview from a few years back that sheds just a little light on how the famed songwriter put together the epic "American Pie"

The message from the SOTA audience: "Don't change the show;" America can't agree on what Don Lemon was doing in that church; Pride-themed crosswalks are latest target of Boomers' thirst for division; Moreno lays out city's approach to Mardi Gras celebrations

Scoot puts it succinctly: I don't give a damn about your Second Amendment if you don't give a damn about my First Amendment. We don't get to pick and choose from the Bill of Rights, it's all or nothing

Not only did a safely Democratic seat cut further into the GOP majority, but a separate Dem win in a district that went for Trump by 17 points in 2024? Not great news for Republicans

Mayor Helena Moreno gave her first Mardi Gras press conference today and told revelers what they should expect this carnival season. She did not say "the knife stays in the box."

Scoot has a theory about Baby Boomers' appetite for conflict and how it explains why Texas is trying to ban rainbow crosswalks, having solved all other problems in the Lone Star State

With the Super Bowl just around the corner in San Francisco - well, not really, as the stadium is an hour away from the city - journalists covering the game must be missing NOLA right now

New Orleans East has struggled somewhat to bounce back from Hurricane Katrina and decades of neglect - this new grocery store could help it turn the corner

Amid all the noise and fury about whether or not you're allowed to bring a gun to a protest, Ian reminds us - Alex Pretti wasn't at a protest

As more video and more detail trickles out, it's increasingly untenable for the Trump administration to pretend they are in control of the situation in the Twin Cities

Scoot visits with Tamara Morozova, who has performed twice in Rockin 1000 - and will be in the Superdome on Saturday rocking out with her 10 year old daughter!

If there is irresponsible behavior on "both sides," there needs to be accountability on both sides. Pretti is dead, so there's his accountability. What should accountability look like for the agents who shot him ten times in the back?

ICE agents didn't always act the way they are acting today. Is it the lack of training? The promise from superiors that you won't get in trouble for breaking the law? Or is it just the power that comes from total anonymity?

JR from the Northshore has a lot of experience in law enforcement, and what he sees from the Federal agents who shot Alex Pretti leaves him with a lot of questions

There are good ICE agents and bad ICE agents but the people running DHS and ICE are nearly uniformly bad people

Situation in Minneapolis not getting better; The angle on Alex Pretti that everyone is missing so far; Rockin 1000 is a family affair; Is it the facemask that is motivating ICE agents to wild out? ICE agents are undertrained and doing bad police work

The Super Bowl next month will feature the Seahawks and Patriots - it seems like most of us are rooting for Seattle, no?
