Podcasts about Whim

Kim and Marc dive into Sam Ponder's recent interview on Sage Steele's podcast, where the former ESPN host opens up about her controversial firing. Ponder's unapologetic stance on biological reality — tweeting “XY = male, XX = female” — collided with Disney's activist wing, despite quiet agreement from many higher-ups. The hosts highlight the chilling effect of woke corporate culture and touch on the broader implications, including their own behind-the-scenes media experiences and the problem with taxpayer-funded liberal bias in public broadcasting. Kim also recounts her own KMOV experience dealing with editorial roadblocks when trying to report on COVID shot reactions.

Marc & Kim fire up Hour 1 by slamming the Biden-Harris ticket as a national embarrassment, highlighting Biden's bumbling NATO performance and the coordinated PR spin trying to save face.

In Kim on a Whim, they dissect ESPN's woke collapse with Sam Ponder revealing her firing came down to simply stating biological facts—Marc and Kim expose Disney's activist rot from the inside.

From crumbling leadership to cultural decay, Hour 1 pulls no punches.

In this fiery “Kim on a Whim,” Kim rips into Chip and Joanna Gaines for abandoning their Christian brand in favor of woke Hollywood applause. Their new show Back to the Frontier features a same-sex couple with kids via surrogacy—a stark contrast from the family values that built their empire. Kim and Marc expose Chip's sanctimonious response to critics, accusing modern Christians of judgment while validating progressive social agendas. The team calls out the relentless leftist push in media, from “woke” Superman rewrites to NPR's bias and DEI doll rollouts. Marc slams the shift from “truth, justice, and the American way” to pandering nonsense like “truth, justice, and the human way,” while Kim blasts the cultural normalization of political activism in entertainment. It's a takedown of the Hollywood elite's agenda—and a call for conservatives to push back harder.

This hour blends hard-hitting geopolitical strategy, education reform, and real-world policy updates.

Marc and Kim kick off with a fun, relatable rant about Blackstone grills rusting in Missouri humidity, with listener tips like coating it in olive oil. That spins into GPS vs. paper maps, distracted driving, and the nostalgia of AAA TripTiks. But things heat up as Kim dives into a viral TikTok user who claims she used ChatGPT to eliminate $11,000 in credit card debt in 30 days—raising questions about AI's potential... and its risks.

Hour 3 of the Marc Cox Morning Show brings the heat with 2A Tuesday, as Marc talks with Dan Green from The Range St. Louis West about new legislation dropping the $200 suppressor tax stamp and why now's the time to snag one. Suppressors aren't just for spies—they improve accuracy, protect hearing, and are finally becoming more accessible thanks to Republican efforts to roll back outdated NFA rules. Marc's exclusive listener giveaway gives fans a shot at $300 off a suppressor and the tax stamp paid. Then in Kim on a Whim, the focus shifts from firearms to food dyes, as Kim breaks down RFK Jr.'s bold moves to eliminate artificial colors in U.S. food products like ice cream. From Fruit Loops to frozen treats, major companies are phasing out Red 40 and Yellow 5—but not for your health, for their sales. It's all tied to rising costs, public image, and a coming food fight if a liberal takes back control.

In this edition of Kim on a Whim, Kim Otto Webb questions the practicality of Lake St. Louis's new safety sticker program meant to alert first responders to household medical conditions like autism or epilepsy—suggesting that in a real emergency, officers may never notice them. The conversation turns to the absurdity of expecting social workers to handle high-risk situations, especially when many only work 9 to 5 and can't enter a scene until it's secured. Kim recalls the BLM riots and the abuse officers endured while defending communities, slamming the soft-on-crime policies of left-wing leaders and the juvenile justice system. From ineffective reform ideas to the disastrous “defund the police” crowd, the segment lays out a strong defense of law enforcement and the renewed respect they're receiving under a more supportive administration.

Marc & Kim bring the heat this hour, starting with Trump's powerful remarks on divine protection following the Butler rally shooting—an emotional reflection on patriotism and providence. The team slams the mainstream media's disgraceful headlines downplaying the attempted assassination, reading CNN, MSNBC, and WaPo coverage that ignored clear gunfire and Trump's injury. In "Kim on a Whim," Kim dives into Lake St. Louis PD's new safety sticker program—meant to help officers respond to special needs calls—but questions its real-world usefulness while pushing back on years of anti-police sentiment stoked by Democrats. Later, Marc unleashes on Debbie Wasserman Schultz and AOC for recycling tired lies about "cages" and detention facilities—built under Obama—as if Biden's disastrous border isn't worse. A California professor's meltdown over ICE arrests gets roasted, with Marc and Kim torching leftist academia's delusion that federal agents enforcing immigration law are “kidnapping” people. The show ends with praise for Tom Homan, who challenges a protester to “settle it” after being heckled, showing the grit our law enforcement desperately needs.

In the third hour of the Marc Cox Morning Show, Marc kicks things off spotlighting the neglected I-64 roadwork and unpacks a wave of disturbing stories—from Alan Dershowitz hinting he knows who's on the suppressed Epstein list, to Claire's heartbreaking account of gender surgery at 14. National security takes center stage as Jim Carafano warns a Democrat-backed AI moratorium in the defense bill could hand China a military edge.

Powers, Jim Carafano, and Dr. William Forstchen. From Lee Zeldin's promised transparency on geoengineering to Josh Hawley's AI moratorium concerns, the hour is packed.

Marc challenges the narrative that ICE targets churches, accusing leftist clergy of political grandstanding. Finally, the show honors Officer Schneider of Troy, MO as June's Feed Our First Responders pick while Marc recalls his own reporting on secret Cold War chemical testing in St. Louis—proof that government secrecy is real, and so are the questions that follow.

In Kim on a Whim, Kim dives into the unraveling of Airbnb as hosts face record-low bookings—even with bargain prices in scenic spots like the Smoky Mountains. She highlights Airbnb's new policies that let guests cancel last-minute and file retroactive payment disputes, leaving hosts empty-handed and angry. Kim compares the mess to the streaming wars—overcomplicated, overpriced, and pushing people back to the old ways, like hotels. From hidden cameras to customer fatigue, Kim says the once-beloved Airbnb may be heading the way of cable: too greedy, too messy, and no longer worth it.

Marc & Kim start your morning with a fiery breakdown of the media's lies and the Democrats' blame game over the deadly Texas floods—Marc calls out Amy Klobuchar and the left's shameless attempt to pin FEMA failures on Trump. In Kim on a Whim, Kim dismantles the downfall of Airbnb, comparing its chaos and greed to the decline of cable TV. They tackle the radical rise of NYC's pro-Intifada mayoral frontrunner and the DNC's embrace of extremism, and wrap the hour defending capitalism amid Prime Day spending and leftist envy over Bezos's wealth.

Both demand church leaders step up—or risk losing faithful followers who want truth, not cowardice, from the pulpit.

Marc and Kim dive into how investment companies exploit loopholes to skirt responsibility while burdening everyday Americans. It's a raw, real look at how federal policies and woke judges continue to hurt law-abiding citizens — and why reforms are desperately needed.
