Mark Bland the host of the Q has been completely out of touch with why people in the South, a major win point for Trump, voted so blindly. Always believing if he figured out the reasoning, that he could apply it across the board and get a better picture of how things happened. Then the makers of SERIAL, the podcast, did a new one called "S-Town". S-Town was brought to Mark's attention by the website VOX.com and it focuses on an eccentric man from a small town outside of Tuscaloosa, Alabama named...

Brandon Travis and Jason Kull join the show to discuss and focus on the corrupt tendencies of Donald Trump these past 115 days.

Mark discusses the impact of the parodies on th...

France has made a decision that couldn't come at a better time. Marie Le Pen, considered the Donald Trump of the election, was sent packing with her tail between her legs after centrist and logical thinker Emanuel Macron won in the hotly contested French election. This was a dagger to the hearts of hard core Right wing media and supporters who thought after Brexit and Trump, their ship had come into harbor. But alas, they were wrong. On top of that, Producer Bobby and Brandon Travis help Mark ki...

It's been a few years since the Mike Brown/Ferguson incident and the family claimed that Mike would never rob a store. But the only evidence that was ever presented was a security tape from the store the morning of the shooting. It showed Mike manhandling a store owner/employee after he was told he couldn't have some cigarillos. So everyone assumed, here is this thug that is trying to knock over a liquor store and that eventually lead to his death. BUT NOT SO FAST EVERYONE....seems that the St. ...

Well another week and we can't stress enough how outlandish the Trump presidency has become. Spending more than an entire year worth of travel of the previous president, in one month or fake Swedish security people coming on FOX news to try and bolster the already dismal BS story from years earlier....it's just another day in the Trump Presidency. So as usual Mark and Jason Kull have to discuss the most prominent political stories of the week and give their opinion. We understand they DON'T have...

Matt Krueger is back and what a show to return for. The President Donald Trump has had a busy first week in office and at the end of it he decided to Ban people from 7 specific Middle Eastern countries that have terrorist ties. But the issue is that he left a few other countries that are also terror based off the list. Why? Well maybe he has economic ties to those countries, or maybe he doesn't feel they are a threat at all. Regardless, the hashtag #MuslimBan seems to be taking the entire world ...
