·25 min·2 clips
Bailey is missing from the show today because she's live-walking 20 miles for charity after a chaotic morning.
The episode begins with the hosts noting Bailey's absence, revealing she is doing a 20-mile charity walk for Strike Theater and the Minnesota Fringe Festival. Bailey describes a chaotic morning involving a broken chair and a cat vomiting. The hosts then shift to a listener game called the first kiss game, where couples call in to see if they remember their first kiss story. One couple, Britton and Stacey, both recall their first kiss happening minutes after meeting online, leading to an eight-year marriage. After the game, the hosts discuss a viral AI prank where people generate photos of a homeless man and pretend to let him into their house, fooling family members. They explore how AI-generated content has become increasingly realistic, citing examples like fake news reports and videos. The conversation touches on the dangers of such pranks, including one where a mother called the police. Later, the hosts cover celebrity news, including Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley's death at 74, Victoria's Secret model Bella Hadid's health struggles, and J-Lo's claim that she has never been truly loved. They mention J-Lo's awkward interview with Andy Cohen about her past relationship with A-Rod. The episode concludes with promotions for local events like Coats for Kids at Pilgrim Dry Cleaners and a Vikings watch party, along with ongoing contests for Sabrina Carpenter concert tickets.

As heard by us

A loose morning-radio episode of caller banter, contest confusion, and an uneasy AI detour.

Stacey and Britton give the episode its clearest human center, turning the first-kiss game into a small public show of affection before the broadcast eases back into contest mode.

Press play when you want the warm disorder of live morning radio: sweet callers, a tiny on-air fix, then a sharp turn into AI weirdness.
