Who is in charge of what? Will these projects continue to experience cost overruns? When will they open? What do city leaders expect in terms of economic benefit?

Conservatives have had great success going after colleges, the NFL, Disney, Bud Light and a million others while throwing the middle class and selling America off for parts, but what has "woke" really ever done to you?
Before conservatives started calling anything they didn't like "woke," it had a meaning that any decent person should appreciate
South Park swung for the fences with their streaming season premiere and there isn't enough eye bleach in the world
A common refrain in conservative media is "if the Epstein Files existed, why didn't they unleash them on Trump?" Maybe there's not one single answer for that, but we can try

Epstein files screw-up roils White House, MAGA leaders; Coleman and Scoot both felt the same way about "Superman;" Suddenly MAGA asking for justice and accountability? We're not buying it; When scandal breaks loose, GOP and Democrats take different paths; "Easy Rider" didn't exactly paint a flattering portrait of Louisiana
Hippies were not highly regarded in Southern states going through the chaotic upheavals of the 1960s, a fact that Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper and their friends baked in to the DNA of "Easy Rider"
Base voters are calling for the Attorney General's head. The Director and Deputy Director of the FBI are threatening to resign. How did is it gonna get?
A texter suggests that the reason MAGA is clamoring for the Epstein Files to be released is that they are after "justice and accountability." Well, if that's true, it's only because there's a first time for everything
It was a rough weekend in Trumpworld, with voters demanding action and a few MAGA leaders inside the administration signaling they might have had enough
Trump's Justice Department is not releasing the "Epstein Files," making his supporters really angry. But if the files exist, why didn't they come out sooner?
Ian complained last Friday about how America doesn't need a new "Superman" reboot - and it turns out, he may have been right.
We're really doing another "Superman" movie, huh? CNN and MSNBC don't wanna talk about McAllen ICE attack; Save New Orleans from certain doom with this one weird trick; This isn't "whataboutism," this is just additional context; For once and for all, cloud-seeding did not cause Texas floods; Why didn't UK-style punk rock catch on in the US?
Some conspiracy theories are harder to unpack than others - this one has a little too much science at the core of it to hold up to even light scrutiny
Another great example of how music reflects the living conditions of the people making it
Is OnlyFans putting strip clubs out of business? What, are gullible drunks in such steep decline they can't keep the Hustler Club open?
The more left-leaning cable networks are ignoring the left-wing lunatics that attacked an ICE outpost in Texas and shot a guy in the neck. That's horrendous - but there's more you need to understand.

Julie's anger is clouding her judgment; Outrage over Sade Perkins is as disingenuous as it is pointless; Scalise is a gifted politician who gave very polished answers yesterday but he wasn't telling the whole story about Medicaid cuts; BEATLES FEST is back and better than ever; Suddenly Trump is VERY eager to not talk about Epstein client list
In today's News Briefs, we learn that Trump is decorating the White House with furniture, artwork and baubles he is apparently seizing from his cabinet members' offices
In an otherwise illuminating and collegial interview, US House Majority Leader Steve Scalise deflected on a few important questions that have answers his constituents need to hear the truth about.
Scalise is a gifted politician, very skilled at delivering punchy soundbites. But it doesn't take much digging to see that his claim of "millions of illegals" signing up for Medicaid can't possibly be the whole story.
Julie in Metairie is only one of millions of Americans who somehow has the bandwidth to be outraged about one idiot's distasteful comments on social media - even though it has no impact on her life whatsoever
Governor Abbott snapped at reporters and made some strange comments at a press conference this morning, deflecting responsibility from anyone who might have done more to save lives in last week's flooding
As many as 32 rural hospitals in Louisiana are heavily reliant on Medicaid dollars and at risk of closing - Scalise says patients who are actually eligible for Medicaid as it was originally designed have nothing to fear
An Iranian-born Lakeview woman was picked up and incarcerated as part of Trump's intense immigration sweeps - Scalise says he helped straighten things out
Steve Scalise, himself a survivor of a 2017 assassination attempt, says Trump's personal style in dealing with Governor Walz does not equate to a lack of support for those murdered in Minnesota last month

Elmo's newest pet project is likely to siphon off more Republican votes than Democratic ones, but that doesn't mean it won't shake things up
The list was supposedly on Pam Bondi's desk - now the FBI says it never existed. Were they lying then, or are they lying now?
Dozens dead and missing - who screwed up in central Texas? Has Essence Fest jumped the shark? Keith Spera spills the tea; Cruz rejects idea DOGE cuts meant more flood deaths, Trump not so sure; So where is Epstein's client list? Now they don't have it?
Did Essence Fest go off the rails because stage crews were unhappy with their treatment? One guy who worked the fest all three nights says yes, that was a factor
Trump, Bondi, Bongino, and many many others in Trumpworld have been telling us for months that Epstein's client list was coming. Now they say it never existed. What?
As much as we don't like to admit it, political decisions have real-world consequences. Is the tragedy in central Texas an example? It's too early to tell, but it's not impossible.
Central Texas floods leave at least 90 dead, amid finger pointing about why warnings didn't reach those who needed them the most
For 30 years Essence Fest has a been a staple of the local festival calendar and a huge draw for the City of New Orleans - but this year, something felt different

Trump's ghastly megabill has cleared the House and is headed for the President's desk. This is bad news for just about everyone - and Republicans know it
An awful lot of Louisiana hospitals in rural areas (Trump country) haven't turned a profit in years - and if their Medicaid dollars dry up, they are cooked.
The Diddy Trial was bigger than Sean "Diddy" Combs himself; Just because you accept money for sex doesn't mean you're not a victim; Trump gives out terrible advice for escaping alligators; GOP is counting on you not remembering who took your healthcare away; Yes, northern Idaho is full of racist maniacs and we have the receipts
Somewhere between 11 and 17 million people, including about 250,000 Louisianians will lose their healthcare coverage. Republicans think you either won't notice or won't care or won't know who to blame when the letter comes
Diddy's trial ends with a mixed bag that his attorneys are mostly calling a victory, as he escapes guilty verdicts on the most serious charges
At Alligator Alcatraz, Trump gave out some bad tips for how to escape a pursuing alligator, and that wasn't even the weirdest thing that happened
Scoot gets Ian's reaction to the Diddy verdict - it's good for us to remember that sex workers are, yes, operating illegally but are often the victims of crimes themselves
This hour, Scoot talks about the verdict of the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial and how many people wanted Diddy to be guilty because of his participation in wild sex acts.
We're not saying the Idaho shooter is MAGA... but there's a but; Bob in Mississippi goes to bat for Idaho Nazis; Why are Trump supporters so ANGRY all the time? They won! What does Trump's new line of fragrances smell like? Don't miss NOLA's world class July 4 "Go 4th on the River" celebration
A dude last hour had some nasty things to say about the News Talk and Sports Powerhouse of the Gulf South and we're not having it
Debbie Bresler is back to tell us about the joint effort between WWL and the Riverfront Marketing Group to bring you a spectacular fireworks show unlike any other in the country
After the runaway success of Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Vodka, Trump Casinos, Trump Entertainment and many more, may Trump Fragrances will be different
A listener texted in asking "Why are Trump supporters so mad?" After all, they won, they're getting everything they want. So what's all the grief about? We have a theory
We still don't know a lot about what motivated the cretin who killed those two firefighters - but it is not controversial to say that that part of the country has a greater than normal share of right-wing radicals
If your knee-jerk reaction is to leap to the defense of white nationalists in a part of the country you've never been to - you should examine why you are doing that
We're little concerned about where things are headed in this country; You can't run America like a bully - unless you're Donald Trump; Is Trump chickening out on his own policies? Or just adjusting real time? Senate Republicans rush to get their ghastly megabill to Trump's desk; Disgusted with Trump megabill, Elmo threatens third party; Americans spend too much time on the terlet because they're on their phones
They used to be bros, but now Elon Musk has really had enough of the MAGA agenda and is throwing his weight behind something new
Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is deeply unpopular with the American people, and a few Senators and members of Congress are taking note
Politics is getting uglier, the economy is getting shakier and we're losing touch with what made America great. But panic never helped anyone
NC Senator Thom Tillis dared to vote "no" on the Big Beautiful Bill - then Trump said he's going to finance a primary run against Tillis - hours later Tillis announced his retirement. We can't go on like this
Trump HUGE WIN on nationwide injunctions will also benefit Dem Presidents; Local teacher fired from Catholic School for being - you guessed it - gay; Someone DO SOMETHING about the punishment light at Canal & N Rampart! The friendly skies aren't so friendly anymore - what happened?
Another video of a woman flipping her lid on a crowded airplane goes viral - who is really to blame for this?
Amid a conversation about a local teacher who lost his job because of who he loves - a lot of WWL listeners about firmly-held opinions that are either not scriptural at all or myopically miss the real teachings of Christ
Are the Catholic Church and its subsidiaries really in a position of moral authority to be hiring and firing based on sexual preference?
The White House is jumping up and down to claim a huge win in a Supreme Court ruling that isn't really about him, and will do just as much to embolden future Presidents no matter their party
Ian has a new intersection in New Orleans to complain about that's really GRINDING HIS GEARS
Media reflects what we want - and what we want to believe about ourselves; People say they want independents - until independents have an opinion; Fallout from Iran strikes has put us in a real "1984" moment; Maybe Troy Henry's takeover of the FQ garbage contract won't be a disaster
The desperation to make things happen just because we need something to happen does not guarantee that the things that will happen are things we wanted to happen
It seems as if there's increasingly limited options for the French Quarter to lose the exceptional service from IV Waste. But it's not impossible that Troy Henry will step up at meet the moment
Not saying MAGA is a cult in the sense we usually think about, like Heavens Gate, but it checks almost every single definition of a cult
What we are getting from the Trump administration on the daily is "Newspeak," defined in "1984" as a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to limit a person's ability for critical thinking. Sound familiar?
"The media," whatever that means, has been a favorite punching bag of Americans for decades. What many fail to realize is the media is only giving them what it knows they want.
An honest media will occasionally tell truths that not everyone likes - and that's not a sign of bias or partisanship
Trump has turned doubling down on a lie into a spectator sport; Remembering Michael Jackson; Why would someone leak the Iran strike report in the first place? Billy Nungesser pops off on Landry's balloon bill veto, seafood and more
Folks really are still accepting "fake news" as an excuse for news stories that are demonstrably not fake - but don't flatter Trump's paper-thin ego
The Lieutenant Governor stops by to promote the 18th Annual Louisiana Seafood Cook-Off - and then wonders why the Governor would veto a bill banning balloon releases that sailed through the legislature with bipartisan support
Trump can't help himself from doubling down on lies and misinformation - and neither can his MAGA movement, because nothing - NOTHING - is worse than looking stupid in front of the liberals.
Nobody gets paid for leaking intelligence reports to news outlets. So what could have motivated the DIA / Pentagon leaker?
This hour, Scoot talks about the Louisiana Racing Commission approving horse racing at the Fair Grounds, the death of Michael Jackson, and President Trump requesting an FBI investigation into the leak of information to the media concerning the results of the Iranian bombing.

Terry in Slidell asserts that kids these days don't have a clue what it's like to live in fear of a nuclear attack

We're trying to lighten things up a little this hour and we only mostly succeeded. What's it like at the center of a dogpile of jubilant, sweaty, dirty baseball players? We don't wanna find out
Don't kid yourself, this isn't about saving money - saving the lives of America's at-risk youth is apparently just too "woke" for the MAGA agenda.

President Trump may be underestimating Iran's military capability; What can be done to assist the local food banks? We can't accept that kids go hungry during the summer; Trump Mobile appears to be every bit the clown show scam you'd expect; "If you're poor, don't have kids" is not a serious policy prescription
Does anyone really think the guy behind Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump University, Trump Casinos, etc is going to put out a quality cell phone?
Some people seem to think that the barrier between the working class and the working poor is impermeable and thus poor people should not have kids. Life doesn't work that way.
WWL callers have lots of shout-outs to area restaurants and organizations that are meeting the call to feed hungry kids this summer
Is it because he is playing 4D chess? Or is it because he has no idea what to do and all his advisers are ghouls and morons?
This hour, Scoot talks about President Trump underestimating Iran's military capability and food banks losing resources.
Setting the record straight on the Minnesota assassin; We've gotten through dark times before and we will again; What's the point of wearing a $30K Rolex out to a bar? Finally, child grooming is against the law in Louisiana; The Mackle twins are here to tell us about their golf tournament

Scoot talks to Greg Buisson about the celebrations surrounding the bicentennial anniversary of Jefferson Parish
James on the Northshore explains why events like the No Kings and Hands Off protests have real world effects that go beyond the day they happen
In all likelihood, nobody is gonna mess with the Pride parade in New Orleans. In other towns and cities across America, they aren't so sure
Israel says they've struck Iran to make sure they can't make a nuclear weapon - but they still have an awful lot of missiles
Anyone who tells you with 100% certainty they know what's going to happen next in the conflagration between Israel and Iran is not to be trusted - it's chaos
Happy Thursday! We're tackling and detaining US Senators now; What are the No Kings protests really about anyway? Chris burned up both his brain cells on this one stupid call; What does the Bible really say about love & life & liberty? Ain't nothin gonna happen at Saturday's No Kings protest
Protests against the Trump regime's ghastly immigration raids are picking up in number and intensity
Ian explains why New Orleans' Saturday protest is highly unlikely to turn into anything like what we've seen in Los Angeles this week
Yikes, man. You're free to have your own opinions of course but sharing unpopular or contradictory opinions shouldn't make you look quite so uninformed
Minutes before airtime, a sitting United States Senator was forcibly removed from a press conference, then tackled to the ground, handcuffed and detained. That's where the discourse is at right now.
There are almost 2,000 protests scheduled for Saturday under the banner "No Kings," but what does that really mean?
Remembering Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys; Trump is unintentionally giving Gavin Newsom a spotlight; Are we really on the cusp of a nuclear holocaust? Do conservatives really hate electric cars on principle? New Orleans "No Kings" protest joins almost 2,000 others nationwide

The President-Elect seems to be softening his stance on "Dreamers," people who came to America as undocumented children but are productive members of society. Should we believe him?

Thou shalt never cover up the acts of pervert priests; Flag-planting incident at Ohio State has it raining fines; It is possible, likely even, SCOTUS will flip flop on gay marriage; "Later Daters" on Netflix; what's it like dating in your silver years?
Do the rules of engagement change? Is sex maybe not such a big deal - or is it bigger than ever? What if your friend with benefits has other friends with benefits?
On social media, the President-Elect says there will be "hell to pay" if Hamas does not release their Oct 7 hostages. Why didn't Israel think of that?!
Former Catholic priest Lawrence Hecker pled guilty to child rape and kidnapping charges - but there's no reason to think he acted alone. How do you balance your love for the Church with the reality of how they handled these cases?
Hunter Biden's pardon has created some strange bedfellows; "2,000 Mules" collapse makes true believers look like asses; Oh look, ANOTHER Canal Street shootout during Bayou Classic. Again; Got an annoying song stuck in your head? There's an app for that
Atlassian has a fancy new app that can get a song unstuck from your head. So naturally we are playing the most annoying earworm songs we can find
Exactly what is it about this classic part of Louisiana football culture that attracts incidents of gun violence? Why does this keep happening?
The same folks that hit Biden for "weaponizing" the DOJ to go after political opponents are now supporting a man who has promised to do the same
Some hardcore Trumpers are saying the pardon is expected and not even that unwelcome - some Democrats are furious at President Biden. So what happened here?
First it was the film's distributor - now the film's producer is admitting the central thesis of his movie does not prove election fraud in 2020 - and it never did
We didn't really plan a show today; Let's talk about 2024's word of the year; Some turkey tips are better than others; Even in prison, there's a way to celebrate the season of giving
Some SOTA listeners sure have some unique ideas about ways to cut down on turkey preparation; we do not endorse all these
2024's word of the year is "demure" because of course it is - but what are the things we are all sick of hearing?
It's practically Friday and it's the day before Thanksgiving so we're not exactly treating this show with a lot of care but we're still having fun!
President-elect Donald Trump made two more picks yesterday to lead his economic agenda - and a vaccine skeptic to lead NIH
Right wing radicals want to end no-fault divorce; will Trump help them? Trump promises to increase inflation, make everything more expensive; How did you entertain yourself on road trips as a kid? We stand up for equality. For everyone. Don't like that? We don't care.
What is freaking the Federalist Society goons out so badly that they think they can turn back time when it comes to civil rights and political correctness?
Larry on the Westbank is not still totally mastered the concept of why groups that have been marginalized and oppressed, sometimes violently so, need a flag or a day or a month of recognition when mainstream America does not
There are a million reasons to end a marriage that isn't working out that fall short of abuse or adultery - and conservatives want to make sure you don't get to take advantage of them
Well, not exactly but that's what his plan to slap tariffs on everything from Canada, Mexico and China will do
In the age of smartphones and iPads it's easy to keep kids busy on road trips. How did we ever do it before?
This was supposed to be a friendly conversation about "punch buggy" and "I spy" but this SOTA listener shared a slightly darker tale
Another Manic Monday on a short Hooray its a Holiday week; French Quarter homeless sweeps rankle advocates; Stop putting Cinnamon Toast Crunch in everything! "Wicked" has a nice message - but it could be a lot shorter
"Gladiator II" is a step down from the original. Maybe it would be more exciting at a drive in movie theater?
Pro tip - take cash from home and spend that rather than get stuck trying to use the on-site ATM
Scoot saw "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" over the weekend and has written a review of the former so you can know before you go
For all the time Trump spent trying to distance himself from Project 2025 during the campaign, he sure seems comfortable putting its authors in key positions of government
With the election over, we will continue to find some other things to talk about, like these French Quarter homeless sweeps and unholy new food crossovers
Ian's latest tirade against weird food crossovers has inspired the audience to suggest yet more things that do not need to be Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavored
We're stuck in the studio while the rest of Audacy chows down; Scoot takes an unnecessarily strong stance against blue raspberry flavor; JFK's assassination changed the world for a generation of Baby Boomers; Things you MUST do for your car before Thanksgiving travel
Paul Varisco & The Milestones play Luther Kent tribute this weekend - things you MUST do for your car before Thanksgiving travel - don't sing at "Wicked"
On this anniversary of the John F Kennedy assassination, we reflect on the impact that tragedy had on a generation of young Americans who never trusted the Establishment again. Also we're still eating potluck food lol
We're stuck in the studio while the rest of Audacy New Orleans chows down but through the magic of technology we found a way in - and brought our listeners along for the ride
A Scaramucci is 11 days; Gaetz' nomination ended in just 8, the shortest tenure for an Attorney General nominee in American history; America's first trans Congresswoman already a target for MAGA; MAGA's misplaced meltdown over Jaguar ad is latest front in culture war
Trans bathroom panic is taking over Washington DC - and then Jaguar had to go and drop an advertisement that's got the base crying WOKE again
Trump's most explosively bad Cabinet nomination so far is over as soon as it began, and pretty much everyone is happy about it, whether they say it out loud or not
Nobody seems to care how dangerous it is to force trans women into bathrooms full of straight, cis-gendered men, Nancy Mace least of all
Only 8 days after he was nominated to be the next US Attorney General and bagged by multiple accusations of statutory rape and sex trafficking, Matt Gaetz is, well, pulling out
The arrival of Delaware Congresswoman Sarah McBride has Republicans racing to make it as inhospitable for her as possible
With Mike Johnson enacting a "bathroom ban" for trans people in our nation's Capitol, Janice in New Orleans has a solution for how enforcers should decide what bathroom
On today's show, Scoot talks about what could possibly be done to offset the violence committed by children in New Orleans, if the Trump Dance is appropriate at sporting events, where transgender Rep. Sarah McBride would use the restroom at Capitol Hill, if we're really on the brink of World war III, and if it's too old for Rod Stewart to go on tour.

This hour, Scoot talks about if we're really on the brink of World war III, if it's too old for Rod Stewart to go on tour.

A new survey shows that Generation Z employees are so lazy and unprofessional and bad at communicating, their mere presence in the workplace is driving managers to quit
With election season over, we are free to get back to some non-politics content like this great chat with country music icon Lorrie Morgan, headed to JPAC this week
Lorrie Morgan is swinging through town on her Ruby Anniversary Tour, and tells Scoot about her journey through country stardom and her prismatic love life
Some SOTA listeners seem to think that a 1.7% margin in the popular vote, and getting less than 50% of the popular vote is a landslide, or a call for a mandate. It's neither
"Look how red the map is, that's how much America loves Trump" is a great argument if you don't understand math, geography or politics and never made it past third grade
They smell good, they look good, and they taste like Coca-Cola. All that being said, we're probably not gonna finish this pack
If the House Ethics Committee doesn't release the report about Matt Gaetz, that will be a deviation from what they've done in the past, not the continuance of an existing policy.
13 people were shot at the annual Nine Times second line in St Roch on Sunday, and now we're having a new round of conversations about gun control, violence in the culture and more
Brendan Carr wants broadcast networks to maintain their commitment to "the public interest" but there's no reason to think he won't yoke that to "Trump's interest"
The Saints are finding success under interim Head Coach Darren Rizzi - but Brian Kelly's been on the job for a while now and LSU seems rudderless. What gives?
Brian Kelly hasn't really shown the ability to make gains for the LSU Tigers, and to be embarrassed badly is different from simply losing a close game
Do people just really sit around on their phones waiting for him to post something - ANYTHING - so they can insult and attack him so they can feel a few inches taller?
It's the media's job to hold politicians accountable to their promises - and to their oaths of office, and that's exactly what we're going to do on this show.
That doesn't mean the media should abdicate their role in holding politicians accountable to their promises and to their oaths of office
Matt Gaetz and Robert F Kennedy Jr is not what some Republicans had in mind for the executive branch
If loved ones are pledging to carve you out of their life over political disagreements, that doesn't have to be the end of it - you have options
Does America really need Oreo-flavored Coca Cola? Do we really need Coca-Cola flavored Oreos? What did we do to deserve this?
This week's Fox News leg-humping comes from liberal NYT's Ezra Klein; Matt Gaetz is a clown without the floppy shoes; Could Trump have picked Gaetz as a loyalty test for GOP Senators? You don't have to like the election results; but it's time to move on
Are Trump's most controversial cabinet picks actually just litmus tests to see who is disloyal to his radical MAGA agenda?
A not-insignificant amount of conservative SOTA listeners are joining their more liberal counterparts in scratching their heads at Trump's bizarre idea to pick Matt Gaetz for Attorney General
For anyone hoping that Trump would pick qualified, stable, patriotic non-perverts for important cabinet posts, this must come as quite a shock
New York Times columnist Ezra Klein says it's wrong to blame Fox News for Trump's return to the White House and Scoot agrees - but Ian has other ideas
After Trump win, women face onslaught of hate and threats online; Will the Trump 2.0 admin really be "For the People?" Matt Gaetz is an INSANE pick for Attorney General, but here we are; Is Elon Musk's stupid DOGE club really going to help Americans?
It's not always easy to do and it doesn't always make you popular - but its the right thing to do to call out extremism and extremists wherever it exists
There used to be a time in American politics where having been the target of multiple child sex trafficking investigations would disqualify you from a high-level cabinet position
Trump has returned to Washington for the first time since his election win and his assuring Congressional Republicans they are entering a glorious new era of winning
Is this four years going to be about good governance or about retribution against Trump's political enemies?
Why are American men rushing to tell women "Your body, my choice" in record numbers since Trump won re-election?
On today's show, Scoot talks about Elon Musk seemingly buying his way into politics, if politics has a place in sports, Gov. Jeff Landry wasting taxpayer dollars to push his religious agenda, late-night talk show hosts and political humor, Adele claiming she can drink 25 bottles of wine in one sitting and remain sober, the cast of the Brady Bunch revealing what it was like on set, and more. (Photo by Matt Stroshane/Getty Images)
This hour, Scoot talks about the history of late-night talk show hosts making jokes about politicians, the cast of the Brady Bunch revealing what it was like on set, and toy manufacturer Mattel making a wicked mistake.
This hour, Scoot talks about Gov. Jeff Landry wasting taxpayer dollars to push his religious agenda, late night talk show hosts and political humor, and Adele claiming she can drink 25 bottles of wine in one sitting and remain sober.
This hour, Scoot talks about Elon Musk seemingly buying his way into politics and if politics has any place in sports.
We are shouting out our community's veterans on this Veterans Day; Ian has finally realized the error of his ways; Stephen Miller is a racist freak who does not belong in the White House; Trump's cabinet is taking shape and it's.. something else; Setting the record straight on Kamala Harris and the "border czar" label
We'll give you a hint if you're stuck - it's not the Democrats and it's not the legacy media
It's good to be skeptical of our government and of the media - but don't get lulled into the fantasyland of pet-eating and Pizzagate
White nationalists, big donors, corporate shills and nihilist weirdos are falling in line to serve King Trump
One of the most toxic characters from Trump's first administration is set to be a big promotion in Trump's second
Since Election Day, Ian has had a change of heart about something that he once thought there was no way he would change the way he felt about it
Race relations have come a long way - but racism still exists in politics; The most stunning political comeback of all time - how did he do it? Yes, Trump screwed up on COVID and we have the receipts; If Trump gets his way at the FCC, we all lose
MAGA loves social media censorship as long as it's the Democrats and journalists and academics getting censored, instead of racists, Nazis and bots
There's very good reason we don't staff Federal agencies with hyper-partisan loyalists who only care about Trump and not about America
An awful lot of Americans look back on 2020 and the entire first Trump term with bad or incomplete information, and that's being generous
After 2020 nobody could have predicted that Trump would win in 2024 by such a wide margin - but he found a way!
The people behind these texts know that Americans are easy to inflame with racially offensive content
A lot of Americans are joyful; a lot are really hurting, so be kind; Will Trump really unite Americans - even the ones who didn't vote for him? Some Harris supporters think Biden to blame for her blowout loss; Racism and sexism may not have doomed Kamala, but was definitely a factor
Do people really think Trump has a magic price-lowering wand that he's just going to start waving around on January 20th?
Are we just going to pretend "Horizontal Harris," "Say No to Joe and Hoe," and "She's a DEI candidate" weren't attacks deployed EVERYWHERE in this campaign?
He got out too late, his bad approval numbers dragged hers down, all among other reasons
The campaign didn't appear designed to unify us but given his gains with previously Democratic leaning voters, maybe there's hope
If you're certain that Trump will deliver America to the promised land you hope for, there's no reason for you not to feel good today, and we're not gonna interfere with that
Congratulations to President-Elect Trump; Every election is going to leave half of us miserable; Bonvenu Bank is now serving in Gretna; Will Trump keep his campaign promises? Non-white voters bailed on Democrats in 2024
Sometimes being in a democracy means elections don't go your way, and everyone needs to be able to accept that and handle it like an adult
Or was all that stuff about using the military against the enemy within just flowery rhetoric?
He was obviously joking when he said that, but between a possible DC trifecta and the influence of Project 2025, it could truly happen
Scoot visits with Southeast Louisiana Market President Jim Hudson about this bank's newest branch, now open in Gretna
The people have spoken in a free, fair and secure election without drama, conspiracy or uncertainty
Remember Ronald Reagan's wise words from 1980; Is this a "lesser of two evils" election or not? Trump is lowering the bar for all future Presidents; If Kamala loses, it will be because of this one gaffe
We all tell our kids they could grow up to be President someday - but if they commit a bunch of crimes, maybe that's disqualifying
It's very easy to throw up both your hands and say you can't vote for either candidate because they're both evil - but what if that isn't really true?
Saints can Dennis Allen, "The Rizz" will step in; Rizzi's first press conference: "I'm pissed off; No-one should be happy;" Trump's final message to voters: pretend to fellate a microphone; NBC does not need Trump on SNL to meet Equal Time requirements
One Trump-appointed FCC Commissioner is big mad about Kamala Harris' "Saturday Night Live" cameo, but as usual, there's more to the story than first meets the eye
This is the Trump and Harris campaigns' last stand before in-person voting begins tomorrow morning
Why is he like this? And why don't his supporters think this is disqualifying behavior?
The Saints have appointed Special Teams Coach Darren Rizzi to lead the team until at least the end of the season; here's his first comments to the media

We're all very glad they're here and we are happy to take their money but MAN they are gumming up the streets!
There's a little good news on the Black and Gold injury front - and the Chargers are struggling with their own injury issues
Has anyone in music ever been as big as Tay? Which candidates' supporters are uglier on social media? With 11 days to go, candidates focus on closing message; What's Trump's appeal with Gen Z males? Mayor Cantrell could derail consent decree agreement
You can embellish your record, lie about your qualifications - all politicians do that. But not all politicians create alternative bizarro worlds that put their voters in danger
We haven't talked about Mayor Cantrell in a while but we need some time today to talk about how her massive ego is endangering police reform - and her own future in politics
Harris is leaning into the "danger to democracy" and "he's a fascist" message with just over a week to go
Elvis and Michael Jackson are probably the closest. Could they pull off their own "Eras Tour" in their day?
Online, in the media and in the real world, Trump supporters somehow are finding ways to get even louder
Dems couldn't call Trump "like Hitler" if Trump didn't praise Hitler; Increasingly difficult to explain Trump smears on military service members; Are you really better off today than you were 4 years ago? Bacon will remain at an inflated price until people stop buying it so much
Nothing is going to chance anyone's mind about who they're voting for at this point - but how do you explain these recent comments?
You don't have to please everyone - in fact, you can't. So just do your thing and be yourself and people will follow you
Everyone knows that things like groceries, insurance and housing are too expensive but the economy is really good by most measures. Are you feeling it?
It's a tale of competing coalitions needed to get to 270, and the different types of messages those groups want to hear
In addition to trashing POWs and calling fallen service members "suckers" and "losers," Trump apparently also has a problem with generals and chiefs of staff who are loyal to America instead of loyal to him
Retired four-star general and Trump's Chief of Staff is on the record with new revelations about Trump's admiration of Hitler's style of governance
Why are Donald Trump's pants on fire? He can't help himself; Adam in Metairie is happy to help sane-washing Trump's lies; Attacks are getting more personal in final stretch of 2024 campaign; You get bashed on social media for telling the very obvious truth
Brian Stelter pointed out on social media that Trump's McDonald's photo op was a staged event and people went nuts. What's up with that?
We can all vote for our preferred candidate, and at the same time we can also choose not to buy in to Trump's insane bizarro world where schools are doing sex change operations on kids
As the race narrows and the swing states are in a virtual dead heat, the knives are coming out
All politicians lie, but only Trump and his MAGA movement have created a bizarro world of complete fantasy and paranoia - and they want to drag the rest of us into it
Claiming "Trump didn't mean what he said, what he actually meant was..." is a great way to make yourself look like a fool
There are Americans stupid enough to believe that kids are getting sex change surgeries at school, and Trump knows exactly who they are
Could the 70s & 80s era uniform looks be subconsciously pushing the Saints of today to play like the Aints of yesteryear? Probably not, but we're asking the tough questions
With just over two weeks to go, the difference in the two 2024 candidates' campaigning styles are becoming increasingly clear, and a little bit weird
Slingin fries and spreading grade-school rumours about the size of Arnold Palmer's driver on one side, normal-if-boring campaign stops on the other
Is this "Dukakis-in-the-tank" moment of the 2024 campaign? Almost certainly not, but it's gotta be close
You know its bad when you need politics to distract from sports; How will the Saints get back on the right track? Oktoberfest is here for you beer and "chicken dance" lovers; RTA wants you to "Roll to the Polls" this election season; Donald Trump does not understand how tariffs hurt American consumers
Trump says tariffs are his absolute favorite and he loves to pretend they hurt foreign manufacturers, but let's be real - tariffs are taxes ON AMERICANS.
RTA is waiving all public transit fees on the two Saturdays during early voting - and again on Election Day
It's the final stretch of the election, the Saints are terrible - but the weather is great and there's lots to do
The Deutches Haus in Mid-City is up to their old tricks again - don't miss a damn good time at Oktoberfest
Usually it's the other way around but with the way the Saints look right now, we are more than happy to pivot to Donald Trump and Kamala Harris
Scoot has a LOT to say about the Saints' trajectory after a humiliating loss to Denver in front of a national audience
Banged up Saints welcome hapless Broncos to primetime; Israel smites Hamas leader, Harris sits with Fox; Let's show a little class with Drew and Sean in the Dome tonight; Why is there a DOG on top of the Great Pyramid of Giza?
Sean Payton in particular, because it's not like Drew Brees went off to play for some other team - but let's give a warm New Orleans welcome to the guys who made so much joy possible at a time we needed it the most
No one can remember a time when a presidential candidate in America suggested using the military to deal with individuals who disagree with the president. Yet, here we are
In a FOX News/Special Report with Bret Baier, Vice President Kamala Harris said Trump, if elected, would use the military against the American people
Too many people can't tell truth from fiction, and they don't even want to; Trump, Harris continue media blitz hunting for undecided voters; The election is making Americans anxious; GOP is flooding the zone with shoddy polls to create pro-Trump mirage; Who exactly is "the enemy within" that Trump keeps talking about?
Trump has his supporters truly in the grip of his fascist lie that his critics are actually America's enemies
A lot of low-quality, highly skewed polls are showing a sudden Trump surge that isn't really there - but gives Republicans reason to cry foul if they lose
Both candidates are finding themselves in front of both friendly crowds and hostile interviewers this week
There's people to believe the lies coming from Trumpworld, which is bad enough. Then there's the people who don't even have the tools to distinguish between reality and fantasy, and don't want them
Are we really so engaged with our toxic politics that it's affecting our mental health? Survey says yes

Guest host Ian Hoch speaks with John Couvillon, Louisiana-based pollster and founder of JMC Analytics and Polling, to determine if Kamala Harris' post-convention polling bounce will last until November, or if Trump can regain the lead at any point.
America's most famous registered Independent makes the case for Kamala; Larry in New Orleans PLEADS for Democrats to do more for Black men; Border statistics are a tricky thing if you zoom out a little; Don't sleep on "The Australian Pink Floyd Show" at Saenger this weekend
Nobody is saying that prices for food and gas aren't too high; we're saying that inflation is a global problem, not just an American one. And everyone else is doing way worse than the US handling it
Lead guitarist Dave Fowler shares the story behind this Down Under tribute band nearing their 30th year of performing Pink Floyd's greatest hits all over the globe
Border crossings are at a three year low BUT - they're still higher than they were in 2020 - BUT out-migration from Central America is also higher than it was in 2020 - BUT - et cetera
Former President Bill Clinton, Pete Buttigieg and others gave Donald Trump the business at the DNC last night - but it wasn't a strictly partisan affair as the list of speakers included independents and yes, Republicans
Democrats are blowing the roof off their convention with epic speeches and celebrity appearances, but Black men (at least the independent and conservative ones in our audience) aren't feeling the love
Larry is a Black independent voter and says if Kamala Harris wants to win in November, her campaign needs to do more - MUCH more - to reach people like him
Trump the businessman might not be the guy to lead America the country; The truth is a real thing that actually exists; Is Dems' Chicago lovefest a moment or a movement? Will Dems' message of hope beat Trump's message of despair?
They really have no shame do they? Every poll they are not winning in is fake. Every election they lose is rigged. Americans are too smart for this!
We have to revisit the incident of "The Guy With the T-Shirt" to demonstrate why some people accuse of of lying but don't even really understand what a lie is
It is in Trump’s personality to be degrading and to use fear to inspire people, but it seems that Americans are tired of despair and a message of hope could be a winning message.
As the polling averages widen and Harris pulls ahead, bringing downballot Democrats with her, it's clear what the Democrats are doing now is working. But can it last?
Well, at least she thinks these are receipts. They're awfully close to Fox News talking points
The Obamas brought the house down with their message of hope and unity - but also pulled no punches when it came to Donald Trump
In America we take it as gospel that businesspeople are better at leading than politicians but that doesn't apply universally, as we now know
Poydras St is an obstacle course but hopefully not a very long-lived one - and the CCC lights are gonna blow your freakin' mind when they're done
If someone says 2 plus 2 is 4 and another person says 2 plus 2 if 5, that doesn't mean that the truth is that 2 plus 2 is 4 and a half
Joe Biden was all in on this race until he found out how hopeless it was; That Olympic boycott we heard so much about didn't do squat; Kyle in Baton Rouge takes a FLAMETHROWER to Trump and his MAGA movement
A lot of people who don't like either candidate might pick the one with the more positive and inspiring and inclusive message
It's not just the immoral behavior or the mean tweets or even the crimes - it's the ease with which he ignores the Constitution of the United States when it suits him
Fresh audio from the Democratic National Convention where tens of thousands of delegates and rank and file Democrats bid an emotional farewell to Joe Biden
As Trump's campaign flounders, his supporters are increasingly upset that the reality of their current electoral prospects doesn't match what they expected was going to be a cakewalk
Remember this guy? He heard Michael in Metairie's comments earlier and was inspired to share all the reasons they don't get along anymore
Kyle's call lit up the lines today after his passionate defense of democracy and decency in the face of an assault from Trump
If that version of Joe Biden we saw last night was the one that showed up at the CNN debate, he would be accepting the Democratic nomination this week
Kamala Harris is pulling centrist and independent voters and a not-insignificant number of Evangelical Christians that form a big part of the Republican base
The Paris Olympics were hugely successful on television, despite threats from right-wing radicals to turn away because Fox News told them to be upset about the opening ceremony
GOP allies practically begging Trump to stay on message, or else; Starting off the week with an in-depth discussion of pig sweat (or lack of); Let's take a closer look at Harris' economic policy ideas; Guy wears nachos home after fake-ass proposal goes wrong
Just because the moon is full doesn't mean you can act a fool and get away with it. Looking at you, failed-marriage-proposal-nachos-guy
Steven in Baton Rouge proves Scoot's point that when faced with their own inability to control their own misfortunes and reconcile their own shortcomings, bullies will just lash out like whiny little bitty babies
This clearly-staged event has Americans wondering if they can ever trust the Kiss Cam ever again
Politicians left right and center overpromise and under-deliver on their pet projects - nothing new in the world
Trump plans to counter-program the star-studded DNC this week by hitting the campaign trail to continue to call Kamala Harris stupid and less attractive than himself
Kamala Harris finally delivered a concrete plan for shepherding the US economy should she win in November - so what's in the details?
The former guy cannot, will not stop attacking his opponent with his trademark venomous attacks on her race, intelligence and looks - while she surges in the polls and undecided voters rapidly become decided
On today's show, Scoot asks if you believe God will ever let a woman become President of the United States. Then, CBS News Business Reporter, Jason Brooks, joins the show to discuss how much of an effect do sitting presidents have on the prices of oil. Also, Scoot is considering trying out for the 610 Stompers.
The 610 Stompers are holding tryouts at Southport Hall, and Scoot is considering becoming a contestant. What are the chances that Scoot can actually make the dance troupe?
This hour, Scoot talks to Jason Brooks, CBS News Business Reporter, about if a sitting President has any major effect on the price of gas.
Jason Brooks, CBS News Business Reporter, joins Scoot to explain if a sitting President has any major effect on the price of gas.
This hour, Scoot response to a Trump supporter that stated that God will never allow a woman to be President of the United States because of what happened in the Garden Eden with Adam & Eve. Then, Scoot asks if you have a favorite horror movie.
Good economic news is making MAGA feel bad; Trump's meltdown continues with embarrassing "economy" speech; No president can make the economy turn on a dime; Randy's in the office electrician boilermaker pocketbook elevator business
Trump promises a Kamala crash or a Trump boom depending on which way the election in November goes, but that of course does not tell the whole story
President Trump's floundering campaign is in need of a course correction, but does anyone really believe Trump can be the one to make that happen?
GOP allies and insiders are on their knees begging for Trump to start campaigning on something besides petty grievances and personal attacks - it's not going great
We are very sorry to report that consumer spending is much better than expected and the annual inflation rate is at it's lowest point since 2021. We are very sorry
Look, we are all dealing with high prices at the grocery store. But your personal shopping choices aren't the greatest measure of how well the national economy is doing
Before a day of heated political discussion, let's talk for a minute about Ben Stiller's 2000 comedy masterpiece and the high stakes of the latest movie in the "Alien" franchise
Good luck. Trump's endless stream of petty grievances and personal insults isn't going anywhere, no matter how much Republicans whose political fortunes are yoked to him wish they would
Elon and the Trump campaign are trying to contain fallout over yesterday's disastrous interview - but Trump has had trouble speaking before and we have the receipts
That's a sentiment we get a lot around here. Be mad if you want, you don't have to like our opinion, but hopefully you can do more than just bitch about it
The crisis at the American border is not the responsibility of Vice President Kamala Harris, no matter how much right-wing media wants you to think it is
With Harris surging in national and swing state polls, tying or beating Donald Trump, GOP allies are begging him to stop with the petty grievances and run a tighter ship
It's sad that so many Americans need to be reminded this, but just because someone has a criticism of your preferred presidential candidate, that does not automatically make that a hateful attack, or hate speech
We will probably make a topic out of this in the future - do you ever have work-related nightmares? Scoot and Ian have them all the time
This little rant should serve as a reminder that your politics should not be your whole personality - and if you hear an opinion you don't agree with, that doesn't make it hate
Trump gave a disastrous "interview" with billionaire buddy Elon Musk on X last night but all anyone can talk about is why Trump sounds like his dentures are falling out
If CBS, NBC, ABC etc show a liberal bias that's a problem, but Fox and Newsmax and 99% of talk radio are fully in the tank for Trump and that's great?
A glitchy X interview was the kiss of death for DeSantis, so what happens when it's Trump's turn? Sufferin succotash!
Is media bias OK - as long as it's biased in favor of Trump? Trump's big X interview is a multi-layered Charlie Foxtrot; The "F*ck Your Feelings" Trump supporters' feelings really hurt by us? OK; Joe in Gentilly chokes at the plate again
Once again we are left to explain that just because you don't feel like something is true, that doesn't mean that it actually is not true, and that everyone's experience is not like yours
We tried ICEE cereal so you didn't have to, and you should be thankful; Happy Monday! We have not one but TWO photos of JD Vance in drag; Trump desperately claims Harris is using AI to fake crowd size; Are Trump supporters getting nervous (without admitting it)?
The Vice President is often attacked for "not doing anything about the border," but the border wasn't her job. The root cause of immigration was her job.
Social media was insane over the weekend! Insane! Many of Trump’s diehard followers seem to be freaking out over shrinking poll numbers, rally crowd size, and the attention Kamala Harris is receiving.
Republicans are throwing the kitchen sink at the Harris-Walz campaign as they find themselves on the losing end of the "Swiftest Vibe Shift in Political History"
Amid the meltdown/freakout over Trump's fumbling campaign, now the Internet has given us a pair of photos of JD Vance at Yale Law School, wearing a dress and wig and really feeling himself
The Great 2024 ICEE Cereal Taste Test is here and it's over nearly as fast as it began. YUCK!
Trump's manic lie-a-thon yesterday was a hot mess; This show is safe harbor for your opinions - but not your lies; Kamala does need to answer media questions eventually; Trump continues to lie about Dems killing babies after they're born; Don't skip Paul Varisco and the Milestones this weekend
What sort of programming can you expect from "Trump TV?" Probably not much you won't get from other basement-dwelling right-wing outlets like Newsmax
Stolen valor and Tampon Tim attacks continue against the Democratic Vice Presidential candidate, because Republicans have no idea else what to do with a football coaching, 2A supporting, 24 year military vet
One of the grossest lies that right-wing radicals love to lobby at Democrats is also one of the stupidest
Conservatives are upset that Harris hasn't done a big press conference yet, as if that would possibly somehow convince them to vote for someone besides Trump
Did anyone get anything useful out of Trump's rambling, incoherent barrage of lies where he managed to not even answer reporter's questions? We're on year nine of this, why do people keep falling for it?
But then, for Megyn Kelly and her right-wing radical pals in the media, context hardly matters as long as you can smear a Democrat, and bonus if it extends to queer kids
Does the new ICEE cereal really cool off your mouth while you eat it? How is this supposed to work? We'll find out Monday
How do we stay on the air if Ian is dismembered? JD Vance did something a little weird on the tarmac yesterday; Lt Governor Billy Nungesser sees potential for mylar balloon ban; "Abbey Road" artwork had us hunting for clues that Paul was dead
Keith Spera has a few limited details on what rolled up the big Eric Church-helmed hootenanny at the Superdome and Swifties are upset but thankful that her Vienna appearance was canned before ISIS could attack it
On the 55th anniversary of the day the iconic photograph was taken, we look back at the easter eggs hidden on the "Abbey Road" album cover that led us to believe Paul had been dead for some time
This concert in the Superdome was a huge success that kicked off last year's college football season; why did it have to end? Advocate Music Writer Keith Spera chimes in
If your balloon release brings you a bit of joy or relief as you grieve, that's nice - but it also kills wildlife and creates a lot of litter and you should find something else to do
They kill wildlife, they don't break down in the environment quickly, they're a huge litter nuisance - they gotta go, according to Billy
It was a little tacky for Vance to stunt on reporters waiting to see Harris - and it was straight up sick for a Trump campaign spox to say Air Force Two "smells" because she's been flying on it
News Director Dave Cohen has some bad news about the boil advisory, and things take a dark turn when a theoretical situation arises regarding a mortally-wounded Ian
SWBNO worker's "very serious" injury led to boil advisory; Condemning Governor Tim Walz for 2020 riots is absurd; Some of those zombie bands are pretty good, tbh
Aerosmith isn't touring anymore - but what if they just brought in a younger singer to hit the notes Steven Tyler can't? What do we lose when our favorite bands change lineups in a way we can't recognize?
Is it worth it to see a band that has few or zero remaining original members? Lots of bands have done it
Kamala Harris picked the Governor of Minnesota to be her running mate. So who is this guy, and how to Trump and Vance plan to take him down?
And it's really weird to suggest that it is. Donald Trump did not send the National Guard to Minneapolis, and JD Vance did not have sexual relations with that couch
It's not true. It's a joke, not a conspiracy theory, and no reputable media outlet (including this one) ever reported it as anything else
This is one of the biggest threats to our democracy - Americans falling for false information because they want to believe it as opposed to welcoming facts.
A worker was seriously injured and that caused the initial delay - but could workers have clawed back that extra ten minutes it took to get power restored and avoid the boil advisory?
How can non-conductive mylar cause an electrical short circuit? Well, there's an easy answer for that
Dave Cohen has breaking news about why the power wasn't restored more quickly after a mylar balloon caused a short circuit and plunged Orleans Parish into a boil water advisory
Who is Governor Tim Walz? America is about to find out; Jeff Landry says "don't look" while he embarrasses Louisiana; Did Minneapolis really "burn to the ground?" Jon Voight says we're at war. Well, with who, Jon?
Is this the kind of messaging that can help Republicans win in November? Maybe, maybe not
Ron DeSantis and others claim that the damage to cities visited by rioters in 2020 were "gutted" but how true is that, really?
Harris-Walz will face Trump-Vance in November, but a lot can happen between now and then
Kamala Harris has made the pick - but not the one most people expected, and Republicans are wasting no time throwing mud
Is this really the right response to voters who object to this blatantly unconstitutional play to the Christian right?
On todays' show, Scoot talks Chief Kirkpatrick's unfortunate accident, Governor Jeff Landry's comments to those students offend by the 10 Commandments posted in classrooms, and the misinformation about an intersex athlete being used to further a political agenda.
Things get WILD on the Scoot show when Janice calls in to tell the sad story about "Lenny". Then, we'll figure out the conclusion of the compelling saga of Scoot versus the insect that made its way into the studio. Was Scoot able to squash the pesky pest?
This hour, Scoot picks out his dress for the Red Dress Run. Then, we'll soon find out who Kamala Harris will choose for her running mate, and Donald Trump has been slurring his words lately.
This hour, Scoot talks about Chief Kirkpatrick's traffic accident, what he agrees with Gov. Jeff Landry over, and the controversy over the intersex boxer.
It seems that there is something both Scoot and Governor Jeff Landry agree with. What do you think it can be?
That Algerian boxer was NOT. BORN. MALE. Let's get it straight; We aren't going to share this super-secret traffic tip with you; Kamala Harris is crushing Trump in new fundraising; Brother Reid is the pastor with the message we've all been waiting for
Between White Linen Night, Dirty Linen Night and the Red Dress Run, it's about to get REALLY sloppy out there
Harris' campaign has been operational less than a month but is clicking like it's in the second year, while Trump/Vance struggles to contain the fallout from Trump's NABJ debacle
When it comes to controversial issues like gender and sexual non-conformity, we see so much judgment from those of us who are supposed to believe "judge not, lest ye be judged."
This fill-in pastor from a tiny church in Ponchatoula cuts through all the culture war bullsh*t to bring The Bible's message to the people that need it the most in this moment - Christians.
Right-wingers are lining up to call Khelif a man, or transgender, when the fact is she was born female, raised female and has been competing as a female her whole life. Take it up with the IOC if you have a problem
Do NOT listen to this podcast if you want to know how to avoid this horrible bridge traffic. This podcast will self-destruct after you listen to it
The original VJ Alan Hunter remembers his first night on MTV; B-52's Cindy Wilson doesn't remember hers; Rick Springfield also doesn't remember his MTV debut; Nobody should listen to Trump's idea of race science
Maybe your cable carrier didn't have MTV... and if you did have it, maybe your parents wouldn't let you watch it. So you had to watch in your friends basement
Some of MTV's biggest stars in the early years didn't even watch themselves on the revolutionary network
Remember the first time you saw a certain artist or a certain video? Maybe you didn't know it at the time, but maybe that video changed your life
The first human face you saw on MTV after the Buggles video ended was mild-mannered Alan Hunter, who was watching the world change on a TV just like you
The former President embarrassed himself telling a room full of Black journalists that he is the arbiter of who is Black or not based on his extremely limited understanding of what it means to be non-white
The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics is still causing controversy. But what are (if any) the negative impacts of the ceremony? What do people fear will happen because of the ceremony? Can you think any negative impacts the ceremony has had on Christianity or the United States? Also, Scoot sprinkles in some thoughts on JD Vance and Kamala Harris.
A WWL caller suggested that one of the negative consequences of the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics is that God will turn His back on us and remove His presence from the world. Do you believe that will happen?
People are still freaking out about the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony, saying it mocks "The Last Supper", what no one has yet to explain what the negative impact of the ceremony actually is. What would Jesus say if He has saw the opening ceremony?
This hour, Scoot talks about the whether there's a negative impact on Christianity by the Olympics opening ceremony, and the resurfacing of an old video of JD Vance talking about Simone Biles.
Scoot is still looking for an answer to the question, how does the French Olympic opening ceremony negatively impacting Christianity or the United States?
We still don't understand the Hannibal Lecter references; Who drilled more oil? Who deported more immigrants? "Weird" is succeeding where "threat to democracy" failed; Who gets to decide what sport is legit enough to make it to the Olympics?
We're okay with skateboarding at this point, right? Well now we're giving out medals for breakdancing
Paul Dans shepherded Project 2025 from a right-wing fever dream into a fully operational policy outfit - and now that everyone saw what they've been up to, he's walking away. But can Trump?
Nobody would have guessed a week ago that the Harris campaign calling the Trump-Vance ticket "weird" would be effective, but here we are
We don't, but there are some strange facts about the incident that leave you with more questions than answers
Democrats couldn’t make “threat to democracy” stick as an attack line on Trump - so now they’ve gone with “weird” in their advertising as the Trump-Vance campaign looks for a chance to seize momentum back
Why is he talking about Hannibal Lecter all the time? Why is he telling Christians they don't need to vote in 2028? Why is the media still falling for this stuff?
You have to laugh at this stuff to keep from crying. It's good to do your own research but if your sources are UnclePatriot.biz and Brietbart "News" you're gonna have a bad time
On today's show, Scoot talks about Donald Trump's recent comments he made to a Christian group, telling them they didn't have to worry about voting any more if they vote for him. What did Trump mean by that? Also, Scoot addresses a woman that is seemingly going out of her way to harm him for having a difference of opinions. Then Scoot talks about how much of an effect do sitting presidents have on gas prices.
This hour, Scoot talks about whether former President Donald Trump's latest comments should be taken at face-value, or should be open to interpretation. Then, Scoot addresses the connection between presidents and gasoline prices.
Scoot shares his thoughts on Trump's comments about no one having to vote anymore if they vote for him. What could Trump have meant by that.
Is the political divide in this country to deep to the point where it's impossible to agree to disagree with each other?
Scoot addresses the woman that is trying to go out of her way to harm him because of a difference of opinion.
This hour, Scoot talks about the controversy opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics, and what Trump's latest comment may have actually meant.
Happy 81st Birthday to Mick Jagger; Just because you CAN burn the US flag doesn't mean you SHOULD; No more tarps, no more grills; Mardi Gras is dead; GOP in their feelings about not being able to run on bad economy; Cantrell's ego writing checks that her intellect can't cash
Really, this isn't that complicated. If you commit a crime, you should face the consequences that match the crime you committed. Nobody disagrees about this
The Trump campaign is running out of effective talking points at exactly the wrong time
Americans aren't actually that precious about obeying the US Flag Code, for the most part. We can do better
You can't have open flames or raw sewage on a parade route anymore? I'm sorry, I thought this was AMERICA
Janice didn't find what she was looking for in media reports, so she (allegedly) called the Louisiana State Police directly and found what she was looking for
Is 2024 really going to be about couch sex and plastic straws? Should Americans be worried about losing same sex marriage rights? Harris opens up 20 point lead with young voters; Plenty of Americans are better off now than four years ago
Is everything perfect? No, but it wasn't in 2020 either, and since then, a lot of folks are making a lot more money
Because despite that Hillbillly Elegy says nothing about it as it being alleged on social media, the AP cannot in fact prove at this time that Vance has never had sex with a couch
Harris told the country’s biggest teachers union that she's ready to fight for country's future; Trump says he’s not really going to change his ways
Republican leadership is having to tell their Congressional members to cool it with the sexism and racism
Surge in youth enthusiasm comes after voters get a candidate choice that isn't approximately 80 years old
Trump, Harris, Biden all have big speeches to make today; Lucky Dog is still tops when it comes to late night soakage; In which Scoot hears about Hawk Tuah for the first time; One of these ice creams is healthier than the other
Harris is taking heat for not going to Netanyahu's address to a joint session of Congress, but another big name politician running for high office this year is skipping it too and nobody seems to care
And the race, which was already pretty damn close before Biden stepped aside, is tightening further
Did Brian Kilmeade really say "colored sorority?" Did Disneyland really ban flatulence?
Is there any better food to sober you up on Bourbon Street? And remember the Hummingbird Cafe?
Biden's primetime address will come after Harris speaks to supporters and Trump has a rally
Trump's choice of JD Vance for VP not aging well without Biden in race; Kamala smashes fundraising records; Biden to address country tomorrow night; The tragic story of Sonya Massey
We've never really had a Vice President that we could say did a great job because they don't really do that much
We're going to do a better job of listening to people that have political disagreements with us
A disagreement over the framing of Sonya Massey's murder becomes a conversation about personalized politics and selective listening
Some jobs, you just can't make mistakes, and it sure looks like this cop in Sangamon County made a BIG mistake
Rust Belt Republicans were always going to vote for Trump, so what other demographic is JD Vance supposed to appeal to?
Did Biden time his exit to get GOP to waste their convention attacks? We're setting a new tone with the show starting today; Is Harris the Dems' best hope to beat Trump? Time will tell; Are Black men going to vote for Trump just because he got shot at?
No they will not, and it's insulting to think that they would. Black voters are not a monolith and our audience proves it
In the spirit of America and the promise we can disagree over politics and presidential candidates, I want to set a new tone on the air.
Democratic voters might harbor some resentment after Biden was push out, but are showing excitement for Vice President Harris
Democrats are promising an orderly process to replace Biden. Kamala Harris is favored, but questions remain
What happens to Biden war chest if he steps aside? It is dead-ass ILLEGAL to use your hazards lights when car is in motion; Really seems like BidenWorld is hitting a tipping point; Every politician you run across is on the take
Trump has what Gen Z voters call "rizz" and he's running against a candidate with practically negative rizz
Will he unify the country? He doesn't really need to do that to win in November, and he probably won't try
Blood is in the water, and with Republicans coalescing around their candidate in a way that wasn't possible a week ago, Dems are freaking out about their nominee
That according to the National Weather Service, where Hannah Lisney says today's storm was exceedingly "efficient" at dropping water
There are a number of good reasons not to use your flashers in the rain, but it being "against the law" is way up the list
Pretty much every Congressional Democrat you've ever heard of is calling for Biden to step aside or is suddenly quiet on the issue. But where does that money go?
Ronald isn't pleased with a joke we made about New Orleans East earlier and honestly? We get it
Is the Republican Party pulling you in or pushing you out? Everyone's feeling the love at the RNC (Well, except Kevin McCarthy). The most awkward segment we've ever had with Janice? Gotta be up there; If you remember your phone's in your car but not your kid...
The Republican Party is now officially MAGA, top to bottom and side to side. But will that kind of unification extend beyond party lines?
Look, we want to be liked just like anyone, but at the end of the day it's only about you not changing the channel
Billy on the Northshore has an urgent warning for Louisiana drivers after a man left his kid to die in the backseat of a hot car
Republicans are lining up behind Trump just as the Democratic ticket loses the support of a majority of Democrats. Where does this all end?
Trump's beefed up security in Milwaukee belies the fact that the Republican Party is more unified than ever under the banner of MAGA
Mayor Cantrell, Bob Menendez are in the news today but they join a long list of elected officials who think they can do whatever they want
Yes, experience matters but if you can't beat the floodwaters to come, make way for someone who can
How do these wholesome God-fearing youths choose to get together in the Sodom of the South?
"Disgust" is the word of the day; Let's smack down some of this January 6 bullsh*t AGAIN; Elected Republicans have LONG record of using violent rhetoric; Alec Baldwin is not paid to be a responsible gun owner
Just like after every mass shooting, Wall Street expects that more Americans are going to run out and buy more guns in addition to the 377 million guns we already have
No, and in fact the modern Republican Party is delighted and animated by violent political rhetoric, and the Republicans who didn't care for that got kicked out of the party with malice
Day One of the Republican National Convention is in the bank and many Americans and indeed many Republicans are wondering who Trump's Vice Presidential pick is
These aren't random internet trolls, or that one co-worker that you can't stand, or your college-bound nephew... the use of violent, incendiary language from ELECTED Republicans currently holding office is well-documented.
The rank ignorance and gleeful hateful language displayed in some of our Facebook comments are, well... deplorable.
Some folks really just want to see Alec Baldwin in jail because they remember his Trump impression on "Saturday Night Live" and want revenge
How do you go peacefully to fight like hell against a closed joint session of Congress (or you won't have a country anymore?)
Today's show is going to be about de-escalating; Will the attempt on Trump's life teach America a lesson? Trump picks JD Vance for VP, who once called Trump "America's Hitler"
Trump officially clinches nomination amid a groundswell of momentum following legal victories and his attempted assassination
There’s no place in America for this kind of violence, for any violence ever, period, no exceptions. We cannot allow this violence to be normalized.
The blame game that immediately followed the failed assassination of Donald Trump was yet another reflection of the hate that is driving so much of politics in America.
How did Biden do at the Big Boy press conference? Reviews mixed; Which candidate mixes up their friends' names more often? Having sex in haylofts is cancelled; A lot of disco songs really suck so naturally we are playing them for you
Hot off Steve Gleason's barn-burning speech at the ESPY awards, let's revisit the pitch for his book "A Life Impossible"
Unless you're into that sort of thing. Why are younger movie watchers more inclined to skip through sexy scenes in cinema?
A new survey says Gen Z is likely to skip sex scenes watching movies. Well they better not sit for for "Henry and June" or "Last Tango in Paris"
Rank and file Republicans probably don't realize the volume of utterly baseless and unfair attacks they have laid on Democrats over the last several election cycles
These were some small mistakes, but collectively they did little to change the idea that Biden's not totally checked in
Just when it looked like things were starting to be a little bit normal around here... kaput!
He's getting the headlines today, but Biden isn't the only one who routinely says the incorrect thing, even when discussing people close to him
