The Morning After with Mike Kellar + Jenny Matthews: Recent Episodes
Mike Kellar
Our interns are in the last week of being with us before they head back to school! We thought this would be the perfect time to answer any more questions they might have, and they didn't disappoint!
We've never done anything like this before! This episode is our first ever ON LOCATION recording, and we can't thank the incredible staff at SAIL AWAY WINE for hosting us! Sail Away Wine is located in North Kansas City, near the intersection of Swift Ave and Armour Blvd. They have 72 wines on tap from all over the world, and if you're not a wine expert, you will be by the end of this episode. Thank you to every one of our listeners who joined us for this experience!
Welcome back Jenny! She just got back from a trip to her hometown of Westminster, Maryland. During her journey, she drove by all the schools she went to growing up, and we talk about the joys of driving down Memory Lane. We also announce where we will do our first ever LIVE recording of an episode. Then... the terrible allegations against Jimmie Allen. We hope it's all fake news, but it's not looking good. Finally, the WILD adventures had by Mike at Arrowhead during the Luke Combs concert. It's a jam packed episode, and we're grateful you're a part of it!
Hi friends! We had an eventful weekend at Lake of the Ozarks which culminated with us WINNING the 1st place award for Large Market Morning Show! We have several stories to share from a hilarious, fast weekend and we can't for you to hear them! Thank you for listening, we still can't believe there are qualified people on this planet who think we're award worthy, but we'll never take it for granted.
Noted Target superfan Jenny Matthews posted on her social media last week that she is currently choosing to not shop there, but that doesn't mean she wants them cancelled! We really enjoyed having this conversation through the first half of this episode, and we think for all the divisive talk being spread around, about 80 to 90 percent of America will agree with our take on the whole situation!
Please vote for us at vote.kansascitymag.com for best podcast in the City Life category! Thank you, as always, for choosing to listen to us!
Hi friends! Both Mike + Jenny have NEW PUPPIES to tell you all about! It's been an adventure, that's for sure! Also, it's award szn and we need your help!
Fresh from a trip to the panhandle of Florida, Mike is back to share a wonderful story of his father, the unexpected turn his life took, and the new friends he made to help him through it. WARNING: Plenty of wine was consumed, so the recap of the story may not be fully accurate. Enjoy!
Nothing is off limits with this podcast! If you're familiar with a product called Cologuard... Jenny had to use it and shares most of the details in this episode. Mike also shares his experience of going to UFC Fight Night in Kansas City, and we take a moment to be proud of ourselves, as everyone should do once in a while!
Sorry for being so basic, but our whole conversation is only about puppies and wine. Enjoy!
This is one of many questions we ask during another round of our favorite game, Table Topics! Random questions, random answers, random discussions, which are usually our favorite!
Hell has frozen over. There was a true crime documentary playing in MIKE'S house last night! The Murdaugh Mystery has now become such a big deal, even the Kellars can't help but follow along. We share our thoughts, opinions, and we're sure you have your own as well. In the second half, we have kind of an all over the place conversation that culminates with Mike recapping the morning that his dog, Hank, passed away. It's very raw, it's very real, it's very emotional, and fair warning, it WILL ruin your eye makeup.
Unfortunately, this divorce has gotten very public, and very ugly. Nobody asked for our opinion or advice on the matter, but we'll share anyway. If you're a child of divorced parents, we think you'll particularly relate to this episode.
WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THIS STORY ABOUT JENNY'S SON! When kids reach a certain age, they have questions. Raunchy questions. Which lead to hilarious stories. Enjoy it, and a surprise guest at the end of this episode!
Mike + Jenny take a trip down their respective memory lanes in this episode! From Janet Jackson to TRL, to old tapes that exist that make them grateful no one has a VCR anymore!
Last year, Mike + Jenny did a segment called "Welcome to My World", where Mike bravely ventured with Jenny for a day of facials, mimosas, and shopping. In this episode, it's Jenny's turn! Mike reveals that Jenny will be joining him in attending a live professional wrestling event, and Jenny's reaction isn't what you might expect! This and many other conversations are had in this episode. As always, thanks for listening!
This is our first podcast episode in almost a month! Let's catch up on what happened over the holidays and set up what should be an awesome year!
Can you believe this is the 100th episode of the Morning After?! We appreciate you for giving it a shot. This one is all about you! We take all your questions you've emailed us and we answer them! Simple enough? We love doing this, so please feel free to be a part of the podcast by emailing your questions/comments/whatever! to mike@q104kc.com or jenny@q104kc.com
We're joined in this episode by Nikki French, who will be one of hundreds of vendors at this year's Holiday Boutique at the Overland Park Convention Center! We'll learn about all the things to expect this year, and a HILARIOUS story about the origin of her name.
It's CMA Week in Nashville, and this week Mike is joined by Lydia Taylor, host of Afternoons on Q104! They spent a couple of days in Music City with some of country music's biggest stars and the conversations are incredible! We promise the questions WE ask aren't like any others. Enjoy, and happy CMA Week!
We cannot thank you enough for all the positive feedback we received about the first 'Know It All' episode, so we decided to keep it going this week!
We're so close to our THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY as co-hosts of the Morning Drive on Q104! Hard to believe, but it's true! In that three years, we've learned a lot about each other, and you've learned a lot about us. In this episode, we really sat down to think of things we haven't discussed, so that you can get to know us on a deeper level. We really had fun recording this episode, and we hope you enjoy listening to it just as much!
This episode is all about traveling! We'll hear about Jenny's recent trip to her hometown in Maryland for her niece's wedding. Then, you'll hear a nightmare involving Mike's father-in-law's recent visit to KC. (Don't worry, it all made for a great story.) BONUS: Short episode today because Jenny had a meeting to get to about her contract, and we'll hear all her crazy demands at the end of the episode! (Please don't take any of that conversation seriously...)
Two things to share with you in this episode!
-
An awesome conversation with Tyler Hubbard, formerly of Florida Georgia Line, about the launch of his solo career, and Jesus!
-
All the baby updates from Mike as his daughter Chandler turns one month old already!
SURPRISE! On this episode, Jenny took a trip over to Mike's house to catch up on how the new dad, and new family, are doing! Whether you've been a parent for 30 days or 30 years, we think you'll relate to just about everything in this conversation.
We've decided we're going to spend a day in the life of our radio partner, and Jenny's up first! She took Mike out for a day of mimosas and facials! She'll share everything, as well as sit down with Matt Toronto from Aestheticare to talk more about said facials, and all the other self-care options they have!
Sorry not sorry for the title. Mike has been dealing with a lot of moisture at his house lately, so it seemed appropriate to name this episode that word! The Lord has been preparing the Kellars for parenthood in mysterious ways, and we can't wait to share it all with you!
We've got a little bit of everything in this episode! Jenny shares her new life balance of healthy eating and occasionally pigging out, and that leads into an impressive conversation with singer Ingrid Andress about... potato chips?! Then, we chat about all the upcoming big changes in our lives, as well as reflecting back on previous big life moments. And speaking of major life changes, after TEN YEARS, Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line is going solo. We talk to him about how difficult it was to make that decision.
Sometimes you just need to let it all out! Mike and his wife are going through ALL the stressful things as they get ready for their baby girl to arrive. Jenny has a HOT take about a current trial that many of you know all about. But don't worry, we promise the second half is all positive vibes!
It was a weekend of highs and lows for Mike. In this episode, we go deeper than we did on the radio about what happened, and how one person restored a little faith in humanity for all of us.
We had the privilege of welcoming Tim McGraw to Q104 for a conversation about his song "$7500 obo", the success of "1883" on Paramount+, and even some workout advice for Jenny as she starts the 75Soft Challenge! We really enjoyed this interview and we hope you will too. Also in this episode, Mike and his wife Katie are 30 weeks into pregnancy, and it's starting to get real for the parents-to-be! Finally, we'll wish Jenny well as we try our best to prepare her to travel on her own for the first time in a long time!
He's got a Top 10 show on Netflix, and he joins us this week on the podcast! We're joined by Hollywood medium Tyler Henry to talk about how he connects with his audience, how he deals with non-believers, and what it's like when you realize you can talk to people who have passed on! Afterwards, we talk more about our beliefs, and our relationships with those who have passed on. This was a really interesting discussion and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it!
We've hit a mental roadblock. So this episode is pretty much an "Ask Us Anything" kind of podcast, and all questions were submitted through the Q104 text line! (816) 600-7104 is that number. So here are all our answers to those burning questions! Thanks to all who asked!
About 5 minutes before we started recording, Jenny's daughter Jules stopped by the studio, so we decided to invite her to join us on this week's episode! (If you hear rattling in the background, that's just her getting some more Tic Tacs) Mike's poor dog Hank had to get some teeth removed this week, we'll tell you how he's doing. Also we'll chat with Jules about starting middle school this fall!
Anyone who's lived in Kansas City for a decent amount of time knows KSHB 41 Chief Meteorologist Gary Lezak. After 30 years on the air, he recently announced he's retiring in December. He was kind enough to join us to talk about his incredible career, and what he plans to do after he signs off for the last time. We cannot thank Gary enough for giving us a few moments of his time.
We recorded this episode the day after the inexcusable actions of an 18-year-old gunman in Uvalde, Texas. Emotions and opinions in this episode are raw. Not everyone will agree with the opinions expressed, and that's OK. We're going to have a conversation. A meaningful one. And hopefully, finally, make a difference.
We found a random question generator on the internet, and the first question alone is worth listening to! Get to know us a little better in this episode, and Mike... CALM DOWN!
This turned into one of our favorite conversations of all time! We're joined by former Q104 personality Ronnie Phillips, and it unexpectedly turned into one of the most real, raw conversations we've ever had. We'll dive into a conversation about mental health from a man's point of view, and it might actually change your life. Also, Ronnie's company, Heartland Waterfowl, has an incredible event coming up that you absolutely need to be a part of!
Don't freak out... but we're diving into RELIGION on this episode! Don't worry, nothing controversial. Just a good talk about our personal relationships with God, our thoughts on church in general, and how He's molded our current relationships. You're hearing a different side of us here, we hope you enjoy it!
Yeah, we went there. How can you not be fascinated by the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard trial? Even Mike admits, this trial is must watch TV! We'll dive into it with all our thoughts and opinions. We'll also share a funny text exchange between Mike and Tater before the Parker McCollum concert, and then an unexpected concert t-shirt discussion! (Sorry we're a day late this week, we'll be better next week!)
How you approach someone who is doing or saying something you really don't like, but they're genuinely not meaning to bother you? We'll talk about a situation like that on this episode. Also, we ask what's your unpopular country music opinion? We found some great answers on the internet, and have a few ourselves!
We just wanted to take this episode and catch up on life! We welcome back Tater who we haven't heard from in a few weeks, and Mike gives us all the latest as his wife is now 17 weeks pregnant! Oh, and Jenny mentions the odd person she wanted in the room while delivering her first child!
We're stepping out of our comfort zone and talking about something we rarely mention... the business side of country music. It's real, and it needs a shake up. We start with a conversation with country artist Michael Ray, and ask him if he sees and/or wants to see, a change on the horizon. We'll also discuss country's relationship with politics, and honest thoughts about Eric Church's relationship with his fans.
We've been waiting a long time to publicly talk about this! MIKE KELLAR IS GOING TO BE A DAD! On this very special episode, we talk about all the secrets we've been keeping over the past two months leading up to the public announcement. Jenny also opens up more about the dog incident that happened in studio. We hope you enjoy this very personal episode :)
We were so honored to be able to speak to so many country artists leading up to the ACM Awards. In this episode, you'll hear the talks we had with some of your favorites, including Jordan Davis, Lady A, Parker McCollum and so many more! We also took a lot of pride in getting these artists to have conversations they haven't had before, and we're really happy with what came out of it. We hope you enjoy these interviews as much as we did!
Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to visit Las Vegas ahead of the ACM Awards. While we have a lot in common, we have very different ideas of what an ideal Saturday night in Vegas looks like! Join us as we take turns sharing our adventures in Sin City from a trip we won't soon forget!
We have so much to talk about! We apologize for being a day late with this episode... we were flat out too tired to put it out on time! But some incredible conversation awaits you in this episode, including a better understanding of the current MLB lockout. We also reveal some questions that we try to ask our radio listeners when they call in, and answer a few ourselves! Prepare for a deeper conversation than you might expect!
There has been a major scandal involving Sam Hunt going on in Nashville over the last several days, and we have a lot to say about it on this episode. But it's not all bad. We'll talk about random (and MAJOR) acts of kindness in the second half. And don't worry about the end of this episode where we actually forget we're recording a podcast...
SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched the Tinder Swindler on Netflix, and you plan on watching it, there are spoilers in this episode. We also discuss Mike's shocking non-love for the Halftime Show, and give a major shout out to Mrs. Kellar on her big career news!
This episode is for everyone who is, or who will someday be, parents. Because when you're a parent, kids have questions. And sometimes those questions are tough to answer. Like where do babies come from? Jenny shares the hilarious story of her 9-year-old son asking similar questions, and we'll talk about how Disney/Pixar is hoping to normalize something that all women go through.
We recorded this episode on a very snowy day in Kansas City, so we thought it'd be awesome to talk about the fun of snow days as a kid, and how they should NEVER take those away from kids, even with virtual learning now being an option. We'll also talk about a conspiracy theory about Patrick Mahomes that more and more people are starting to believe. And the story that Producer Tater shares in the first five minutes is... a story that you would only expect from him!
It is impossible to talk about anything else besides the Chiefs in Kansas City right now! So, keepin' it real, this is it. Football and food. Two of the greatest things in the world!
We are grateful to be joined by our boss Todd, and his girlfriend Liz on to tell us all about their 10-day trip to Europe! They share stories from their visit to Paris, Rome, and Dublin! If you're getting the itch to travel, and Europe is an option, Todd & Liz have some wonderful experiences and some helpful tips to make the most of it!
We haven't had a new episode in almost ONE MONTH! Between Christmas and Covid, we have SO MUCH to catch up on! Let's talk about the shocking death of Bob Saget, as well as celebrity deaths in general. We talk about our CHIEFS, including what we think the relationship between the Mahomes's is like behind the scenes. So much to catch up on, thank you for catching up with us!
It's our last episode of 2021! We have some fun and awesome stories to share about our PajamaJam. As this episode was being recorded, we were two days away from drop off day! From there, we share some hilarious horror stories from company Christmas parties from years past. Jenny wins with her story. Thank you so much for listening, Merry Christmas, and we'll have more new episodes in 2022!
Welcome! There is SO much in this episode, so be ready! We discuss Mike's embarrassing social media numbers, how trusting our parents were to us as teenagers, taking advantage of your time to shine when you make the JumboTron at sporting events, and finally, what do you hide from someone on the first few dates. Our answers are... hysterical. As always, thank you for listening, and don't forget the 5-star rating if you enjoy our podcast!
We are so excited to bring you a new episode for the first time in THREE WEEKS! Apologies for that, Mike had a wicked case of the dreaded Covid-19! Everyone is healthy now, and Mike shares his experience, symptoms etc. From there we take an unexpected detour into a very real conversation about responsible decision making that we hope will allow you to learn a little more about us than you knew before. Thanks for listening, and remember, if you enjoy our podcast to please rate us 5 stars!
We are so excited to share this with you! We had the opportunity to go to Nashville and be a part of Sharla McCoy's Music Row Live, a "radio row" like experience where we were able to have wonderful conversations with some of country music's biggest stars! They are... (listed by order of appearance)
Russell Dickerson, Carly Pearce, Dillon Carmichael, Kelsea Ballerini, Walker Hayes, Priscilla Block, Eddie Montgomery, Gabby Barrett, Locash, Nate Barnes, Runaway June, Mitchell Tenpenny, Ryan Hurd, Maren Morris, Scotty McCreery, Cam, Dylan Scott, Jordan Davis, Ian Flanigan, Joe Nichols, Callista Clark, Dustin Lynch, Travis Denning, Frank Ray, Lee Brice, and last but most importantly, a wonderful organization called Fisher House, who we partnered with to make all of this possible. We hope you enjoy the conversations!
At one point in time, all of us on this podcast have lived in a small town. But before we get to that... Jenny has some MAJOR DRAMA that needs to be addressed! And she will! Afterwards, we dive into our small town lives, what we enjoyed, what we didn't, and how it makes us appreciate where we are now. Thank you as always for choosing to listen to us, we appreciate you!
Happy Halloween from the Morning After Podcast! We talk all things Halloween in this episode. What's the best costume you've ever worn? How old is too old to be trick-or-treating? Why is Mike such a Halloween SCROOGE?!
If you enjoy our podcast, please take a moment to give us a 5-star rating. It helps the podcast spread to a wider audience! We appreciate you, and hope you only get treats, no tricks, this Halloween!
Get ready to be a much cooler person after listening to this episode! Once again, we're joined by Q104's newest team member, Lydia Taylor! We share some fun stories about her first month with us, and we play another round of table topics! Plus, near the end, Lydia totally schools us on the new slang words that we had no idea existed. Embarrassing for us, hilarious for you!
One of the reasons anyone gets into radio is the awesome perks! We get to meet famous people, and it's not lost on us how awesome that is. In this episode, we want to share our most recent experience being backstage during the Jason Aldean concert. Jenny got to meet Jason's wife Brittany, who is one of her favorite people ever. We hope you enjoy the stories from behind the scenes. Also, Mike brings in Todd the Boss (affectionately called "Todd Lasso") to discuss Season 2 of Ted Lasso. There will be MAJOR SPOILERS, so if you plan on watching but haven't yet, you might consider avoiding that conversation until you finish Season 2.
You may not be shocked to learn that, in the past, Mike has had a few run-ins with the law. While he only meant to share one of those moments in this episode, Jenny masterfully convinces Mike to talk about ALL his bad deeds as a teenager. We also FINALLY learn more about "Chug", a random babysitter from Jenny's hometown.
Cancel culture has it's latest victim! It's the words "virgin" and "virginity". They now ask that we call it your "sexual debut"! SERIOUSLY?! We'll have a little fun with that in this episode by talking about our "firsts". No, not our "sexual debuts"... first car, first friend, first job... (sorry, "employment debut".) Enjoy our conversation about all our "debuts", and reminisce on your own while your at it! If you enjoy our podcast, please leave a 5-star review, and a quick sentence or two about why you like it! It helps us grow and we would just really appreciate it! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for listening! On today's episode, we welcome back producer Tater after being able to sleep in for a few months, and we catch up on things! We realized after recording this, that we talked about way too many old people things! But we make it fun anyway. Also, we share with you a conversation with John Rich of Big & Rich. He has a new show on the Fox Business Network, and yeah, we get him fired up about politics as well!
We have a very special edition of the podcast today, as we're joined by Q104's newest on-air talent, Lydia Taylor! We did a formal introduction on the radio, but you know we're about to have a MUCH more candid conversation here! Please have a listen, and we think you'll realize why she was the right person for the job after our conversation with her!
Keepin' it real with you here... we had a little trouble coming up with something to talk about today. When that happens, we pull out this sweet card game called Table Topics. We pick random topics, and we go. Enjoy!
WARNING: This episode is weird. It was a weird morning... and the weirdness continued into this podcast. We start with an opinion that some will disagree with. It's time for summer to be over. We're ready for humidity and bugs to go away for at least 6 months. Then, we learn about Jenny's exciting new Pickleball adventure, and share our athletic failures from years past. You'll also hear conversations about public restrooms, Jenny's lovely conversation with an 84-year-old woman, and finally... true crime. Shocker!
She finally did it! After months of peer pressure, we finally got Jenny to start watching Ted Lasso... AND SHE LOVES IT! We talk all about it starting at the 24 minute mark. (Don't worry, no spoilers) Before that, we start the episode with a joke that Mike's wife shared with him in the middle of the night. Also, do you miss the enjoyment of opening up a brand new CD? We do! We'll take a trip back to our high school days and reminisce. We wrap up this week with a conversation about hair care. Not sure why, or how it even came up, but that's why you love us!
Things that used to not get a reaction from Mike are now causing him to tear up a bit. Have you ever gotten emotional over something you saw, or losing an inanimate object? We discuss, and decide if Mike's just getting older or needs to man up. From there, we share a story that we would absolutely never get away with sharing on broadcast radio. Finally, why Labor Day weekend might be a little crazy at the Kellar household!
Who knew?! Jenny has only used a ride share app ONCE, and probably won't ever again! Hear why in this week's episode. We'll also talk about the awesomeness that is the Missouri State Fair lineup this year, and give a MAJOR shoutout to our spouses, who we are eternally grateful for.
Two of them, actually. Don't worry... it's not that. Find out exactly what we're talking about at about the 15 minute mark. We also talk about farts. Didn't mean to, but these things happen. We also have a fun reason why this episode is so short, which you'll hear at the end of the episode. Thanks for listening along with us!
Our #1 promise, whether it's on our radio show, or this podcast, is we keep it real! And that's definitely the case in this episode. We'll share our thoughts on USA Olympic Gymnast Simone Biles' decision to remove herself from competition because of mental issues, and how social media made this story so much uglier than it needed to be. From there, we discuss Kansas City reinstating a mask mandate. This is probably a good time to tell you that the opinions shared on this podcast are our own, and don't necessarily reflect the opinion of Q104 and our parent company Steel City Media. Enjoy the conversation :)
Let's start out with a little something different! Today, we start by sharing an interview we recently did with new artist Rayne Johnson! (2:10-10:00) You probably haven't heard of him yet, but we thought it was a really good, interesting conversation, so we want to share it with you. From there, we share some cool experiences we've had with artists who are just starting out in the industry, and how neat it is to hear their stories. We'll also talk about getting called to the principal's office, being featured in the local newspaper, and Jenny's first experience with a male stripper. It's... a CRAZY episode, and we appreciate you, as always, for allowing us to be a part of your day!
Sometimes... it's difficult to come up with things to talk about. Daily, weekly, it doesn't matter. You hit dry spells. So we just found random conversation starters on the internet, hit record, and started talking. Today's questions included "If you could change your first name, would you, and what would you change it to?" Also, "What's the most useful item you own?". We really had fun with this episode, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did! The Morning After with Mike Kellar + Jenny Matthews is presented by Blue Beetle Pest Control.
Seriously. Usually we plan out a list of things to talk about, and follow said list. Not today. We just turned on the mics, and went. Hope you like it! The Morning After Podcast is presented by Blue Beetle Pest Control.
As soon as we finished recording this episode, we all agreed it's one of our favorites! We start with a great conversation to have with friends or family... just fill in the blank! You know you're getting older when ________! Actually, the amount of time we spend talking about the grocery store made us feel old just now! From there, we discuss what we would do for a living if we couldn't do this anymore... and every answer is so different, but so great! We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did, and thank you as always to our sponsor, Blue Beetle Pest Control!
Do you have a best friend? We share fun stories about ours in honor of National Best Friends Day! We then talk about what's in a name. Turns out, if you say "Russell" in front of Jenny, she thinks of vomit! Hear her story about that... and finally, we show some love to KC NWSL! We were lucky enough to check out a game at Legends Field. But what about their name? We brainstorm some potential names for our new team. The Morning After with Mike Kellar + Jenny Matthews is presented by Blue Beetle Pest Control!
How do you feel about PDA? We dive into the most hated, and most accepted forms of PDA post-covid. We really enjoyed this conversation because it turned into all of us sharing our proposal stories, and those are always fun to share :) Very random (very fun) talk today and we hope you enjoy it!
We received an awesome letter from our friend Lydia that we can't wait to share with you! We'll start by reading her letter, and we begin the process of helping out a wonderful cause. From there, we dive into today's main topic... church! Not Eric, but the house of the Lord. Jenny recently found a church that her entire family loves! We have an honest conversation about why more and more people aren't going to church, and we hope you enjoy the different opinions we have about the subject! The Morning After with Mike Kellar + Jenny Matthews is presented by Blue Beetle Pest Control
THE ALIENS ARE HERE!!! Welcome to another episode of the Morning After, where we start by reacting to the 60 Minutes story that pretty much proved that we are not alone in the universe! From there... it's a wild ride. An unexpected celebrity got cancelled, another gets sued for $5M because of exploding candles! And then... we get way too personal! Of course... what else is new? We hope this helps you escape the real world for 36 minutes, and thank you Blue Beetle Pest Control, proud sponsor of the Morning After with Mike Kellar + Jenny Matthews!
Mike and Jenny limp their way to the Q104 podcast studio to share their difficult weekend, as they both sustained ridiculous injuries over the last week. After we embarrass ourselves with those stories, we celebrate the announcements made by the Chiefs and Sporting KC... FULL CAPACITY STADIUMS! We're not sure how, but after that, we take a deep dive into dentistry and fake teeth. We're not exactly sure how this conversation starts, but we're here for it, and we're glad you are too! :)
Put the kids to bed before you fire up this episode, because we have a hilarious conversation about comparing the size of a man's NOSE... to the size of his... you know. We giggled like schoolchildren the whole time, and we hope you find it as funny as we do! Moving on... we also debunk 10 completely fake myths that people still believe are real in 2021. There's a good chance you still believe one of these rumors! Next, Jenny talks about a mother/daughter combo who are facing SIXTEEN YEARS IN PRISON for... trying to rig a homecoming queen vote? And finally, we ask... What's Wrong with America? Don't worry, this isn't a deep political discussion, just a silly look into little things that we think we could be better at!
Why is that the title of this week's episode? Because Jenny's 8-year-old son actually asked her that very question! Hear her response to kick off the episode. We also tell you the new way we plan on taking out our aggressions, and you should too. We then try to convince Jenny to stay on the team, but her dream job is now available. Hear what that is before the 20 minute mark. We wrap up the week with our honest feelings about all the hate people have towards new country music. Unpopular opinions ahead! Thanks for listening along with us :)
Do you love to travel? Jenny and Mike go back and forth on the pros & cons of traveling. And apparently Producer Tater has something against the state of North Dakota. From there, we move on to the wild, unpredictable world of online dating. Considering both Jenny and Mike are in happy marriages, this conversation fascinates the both of them, as they try to imagine dating in today's world. (We honestly don't know how you do it. Do y'all really ask for "those" pics so early?) And are butt selfies really a thing now???
Seriously, have you heard the story about the former Southwest pilot who "whipped it out"... in the cockpit of the airplane? We start the podcast by trying to answer that question. Truth be told, the entire first half of this episode is nothing more than toilet humor, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as we did having the discussion! Once we grow up, we move onto something a bit more uplifting... a return to normalcy! From Jenny traveling to see her family, to Mike going to a Major League Baseball game, we share our stories, and excitement, of getting back to normal, which we all can't wait to do. And make sure you don't miss the last bit about one of the most hilarious requests we've ever asked a country artist to do... and she obliged! We appreciate you so much for listening!
Welcome back to the podcast Jenny Matthews and Tater! And shout out to Mike's wife Katie for filling in last week. On this episode, is it weird to take a trip without your spouse or significant other? Also, faking it. OK, get your mind out of the gutter. We'll share what we're faking at around the 10 minute mark. We'll also touch on emotional support BEER, and Happy Baseball Season! Enjoy this 34 minutes... proudly presented by Blue Beetle Pest Control! :)
With Jenny on vacation this week, Mike welcomes his wife Katie as special co-host of this week's podcast! We'll dive into the good and bad of meeting new people, and also the weird things we get excited about that we never would have when we were younger. Broadcasting live from their kitchen table... (seriously!)... it's NOT Keeping up with the Kardashians, it's Catching up with the Kellars!!!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! At least... that's when we recorded this episode. You know how Jerry Seinfeld admitted that his sitcom was a funny show about nothing? That's how we feel about today's episode. Until the end when we talk about vaccines, and how all 3 of us feel very differently about them! Lots of holiday talk and good conversation to be had, so join us!
We wonder... are you like us, and don't care at all about the Royal Family? But at the same time, you find yourself fascinated by Oprah's interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry? We feel you, and we get all of our thoughts out on the subject. Next, we welcome Mitch, owner of Blue Beetle Pest Control, and proud sponsor of this podcast. We ask him what goes through the mind of someone the day they decide to start their own company. Finally, in honor of the Royal Family, we share some hilarious family drama stories of our own, and thank the good Lord, our families aren't followed around as closely by the paparazzi.
If you want our deep down analysis of the 2021 ACM Awards, the first 20 minutes of this podcast is for you! If not, and you're here for more of our lifestyle conversations, you're probably best to jump to the 22:40 mark. There, Mike asks Jenny and Tater for advice on healthier eating, and has to be told why grilled cheese sandwiches don't count as "healthy food". Later, we dive into cancel culture's latest victims, Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head. Yes, we have opinions, and yes, we share them. If you disagree with them, no problem! We welcome all opinions, even if we disagree. What a concept! We wrap up this week's episode on a silly note. Poor Mike reveals why he thought he was so cool in high school... and he definitely wasn't! It's a roller coaster of emotions this week, and we're happy you're on the ride!
We've all gone through breakups. They're tough! But on today's episode, Jenny reveals a time where she had to break up with a best friend! An interesting discussion to kick off the podcast. Then, Jenny attempts to talk to the two guys about style, shorts, and the brutal honesty of her children. You have to hear what her daughter says about her shorts! We discuss our favorite TV shows, so if you need a new show to stream, you can't miss this! And then an unplanned, unexpected conversation... about drugs! Thank you as always for listening to our podcast, we hope you enjoy it!
The arctic blast has us feeling a bit loopy! Today we dive into our biggest social fears, Jenny gets into a comment fight with an internet troll, and chest milk vs breast milk. It's wild, it's random... it's us!
We pride ourselves in keeping it real, both on our radio show and on the podcast, so we're gonna be real with you. Monday, February 8th, was an awful day. We feel like it was that way for just about everyone in KC. So we chat about how we can cheer ourselves up! We also celebrate National Pizza Day, talk about visiting the big cities on the coasts, and you have to listen to the end when we talk about the woman who got Gorilla Glue stuck in her hair! Let's have a day!
Today was arguably the biggest news day in country music history. In this episode, we have an honest conversation about Morgan Wallen's racial slur. Mike explains why he believes Wallen set an entire genre back several decades. Jenny compares racial slurs said by country music singers and compares to other genres. Tater discusses his future, and how this affects his career moving forward. We also celebrate something beautiful that happened in country music today, and shine a well-deserved spotlight on one of the Brothers Osborne for something that, unfortunately, will be overshadowed by the negative Morgan news. We're keeping it more real than ever today, and we appreciate you listening, and feel free to share your opinions with us.
We are so excited for our hometown Chiefs as they head BACK to the Super Bowl! Join us as we discuss at what point KC becomes the "bad guy" like the Patriots before us. Also, for the first time in 30+ years, there won't be a Budweiser ad during the big game. We have mixed reactions. Next, we talk about how awesome our moms are, and is Jenny about to see her mom for the first time in person in over a year? We wrap it up with our awful attempt at motivating you. Thank you for listening!
Welcome to the most real, honest, open episode of the Morning After yet! We start with a great story about Mike's mom, who celebrated her 60th birthday! That gets us talking about punishing your kids when they do something wrong, and how as we grow older, we realize it really does hurt the parents more than the child! From there we move on to gambling, where Mike & Jenny share the agony of watching a Chiefs game when you have a wager on it, and how they'll probably never do it again! Finally, a story about cheating we found on the internet leads to an open discussion about infidelity, breaking up, and is the phrase "once a cheater, always a cheater" true? It's a pretty personal discussion, but as always, we share our lives with you with no filter!
Welcome! On this episode, we pat ourselves on the back for not completely abandoning our New Year's resolutions! We have some funny stories about walking our dogs that almost everyone can relate to! Then we play a game that Jenny will regret bringing to the show called "How Honest Will You Be About How Gross You Are"? Look for that around the 30 minute mark... if you have the stomach for it!
It's our first podcast of 2021, and we have a lot to catch up on! First of all, you can now WATCH the show on YouTube! We've made some incredible resolutions for the new year, and we think you'll be shocked to hear them! Also, why Wonder Woman isn't nearly as bad as the critics are saying. Next, we have a debate about the restroom, and the difference between men and women. You might want to put the kids in the other room for this one. We wrap up the podcast with cool gifts we got for Christmas, and show some love to our friends at Independence Center. We're happy to be back, and happy you've chosen to stick with us! :)
It's our last podcast of 2020! We remember some of the good times we had in this ridiculous year, including Jenny DITCHING Mike, and drunken trampoline adventures. Also... if you're Jenny's mom, and your reading this, probably don't listen to this episode after the 15 minute mark, unless you want to learn about some of the debauchery your daughter got into while she lived in south Florida! Thank you all for listening to our new podcast, here's to more fun in 2021!
The most popular question on the internet right now is... name a store to show us how old you are! (Sam Goody & Blockbuster anyone?) We also take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about our first job, our first trip to the mall without our parents, and prom! Join us, and if you feel a little old afterwards... our bad :)
Seriously, what happened to the shopping mall? We accidentally dive into that discussion. Plus, MAJOR DRAMA during Mike's family Thanksgiving, Jenny's kids are growing up, and Tater tells us the WRONG way to ask a woman about her makeup!
It's the day before Thanksgiving, and we are ready! Join us for turkey talk, sides that can go away, and final prep before family visits Mike's house for the first time! Come join us, and get away from the family for 30 minutes or so ;)
We're always honest. Today was NOT the best day at the ol' Q104 studio. We'll tell you what happened behind the scenes on today's episode. Also, Jenny's all time favorite game is being turned into a game SHOW! Next... the 'rona. We really didn't mean to bring it up, but sometimes, you just have to vent. We share our honest thoughts about the virus, the lockdown, the inability to see our families... all of it. If you'd rather skip that part, no problem, jump ahead to 29:58. There, we ask, is it just us, or did the pomp & circumstance for this year's Super Bowl performer announcement seem nonexistent this year? Take 35 minutes and join us on a wild ride!
Happy Veteran's Day! On today's episode, we start by giving ourselves a well-deserved pat on the back! Seriously... try it some time. It can really help your self-esteem! Also, Jenny discovers her thumbs aren't as weird as she thought. Actually, she has a condition! Next, we share with you some of the top movies and TV shows that are being streamed during quarantine. It's a very random list, you'll want to hear it for yourself! Finally, is this the year that it's OK to decorate earlier for Christmas to keep our spirits up? You decide!
Please excuse this week's episode. We recorded right after celebrating our one year anniversary as a show! We recorded this episode the day after the Presidential Election of 2020, so naturally, we have reactions. Also, is Jenny TOO obsessed with babies?
The scariest thing that can happen to you as a radio DJ happened to us. We forgot to turn the microphone off! Hear what happened in the first segment. Also, Jenny recaps her husband watching, and his hilarious reaction, as she was giving birth! Then... are we bad people? We bring up a few scenarios that might make you see us in a different light! Don't forget to vote, and thanks for checking out the podcast!
Thanks for listening! In this episode, Mike tries to justify a terrible mistake he made as a husband. Also, are we terrible people for already being in full holiday mode, and it's not even Halloween yet? And yes, like the title suggests, Jenny gives her husband advice on how to successfully get away with murdering her, in case one day he decided he's "had enough"! Finally, we bring up movies where when we watched them as a teen, we loved them! But as an adult, we find ourselves sympathizing more with the adults instead of the main characters. Come join us for a great waste of 40 minutes!
Social media has taken over our lives! Or at least... it used to. Mike and Jenny share how social media doesn't rule their lives as much as it used to, and how you should consider doing the same. They also share the first moment where they laughed so hard on the radio that Jenny actually peed her pants. And who knew Mike was the King of Leftovers? Got 40 minutes to spare? Take a listen and take a load off! Thanks so much for listening!
Lots to unpack today! First, Mike asks for advice about hosting Thanksgiving for the first time. The in-laws are flying in from out of town and the panic is setting in, even though it's still two months away! We also talk about our favorite Instagram follows you may have never heard of. For all the bad accounts out there, there are a few doozies! We also talk drugs. Well... allergy medication to be more specific. And finally, why aren't there more couples featuring a shorter man and a taller woman? Random, silly, and not meant to be taken seriously. We promise this will be far from the worst 45 minutes of your week!
It's not what you think! In this episode, you'll hear why Jenny is a hero, why Mike was the coolest person in Kansas City (for one day), and yes, we talk about... going potty. Also, in case you didn't know, last week's special guest (Mike's wife) makes the GREATEST LASAGNA IN THE WORLD! Jenny gets surprised mid-podcast with a fresh serving of the greatest dish to ever grace a tastebud! Take your mind off the world for 30 minutes and join us for the most fun, random podcast ever!
We're very excited to have Mike's wife Katie (a/k/a Mrs. Kellar) join us this week! It was a CRAZY week, as Mike fell victim to cancel culture! We share the story of how Twitter and Instagram tried to get him fired, and why it was completely ridiculous. We also celebrate Jenny's daughter who recently turned the big 1-0! You'll hear some fun stories of our personal favorite birthdays, including one involving... a gentleman's club. We hope you enjoy this hour of conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it!
Mike shares stories from his trip to Mexico, and talks about why traveling during a pandemic was actually a great idea! We then get into one of our favorite discussions... UNPOPULAR OPINIONS! Jenny has a strong opinion about music videos, and Mike calls out LUKE COMBS?! Finally, as usual, the group ends up arguing about food and Walmart vs Target.
Mike recently had his mother visit from St. Louis over the weekend. He dives into the shenanigans that ensued. From there, we talk about how long is too long for guests to stay with you, and how now more than ever, more young adults are moving BACK in with their parents. Real talk always. Thanks for listening!
Mike, Jenny, & Tater take a deeper dive into what makes a marriage successful after hearing that divorce rates have risen 34% since the pandemic. Also, CMA award nominees have been announced, but the main headline has nothing to do with any of the nominees!
