Send us a text Some mornings are just all over the map—in the best way. One minute we’re talking about a country artist stirring headlines with a new protest song, the next we’re tracking Tropical Storm Priscilla and scouting a pop-up haunt night before the rain hits. It’s sharp takes, local updates, and a court case so perfectly petty you’ll send it to your group chat before the verdict drops. We start with a look at music, message, and how artists walk that line between storytelling and pol...

Send us a text A Halloween comedy challenge kicks us off as we debate how to channel the right version of a legend—early Mork-and-Mindy chaos or later, sharper Robin Williams—and why tiny choices like a shaved beard, a loud shirt, or updated references can make or break an impression. That craft talk flows into a brutally honest look at patterns in relationships: a “dream” boyfriend who flakes on help, fumbles a vacation into sun-poisoned disaster, and asks for money after admitting he couldn...

From there, we play with questions that reveal a lot: the high school moment that l...
