Jimmy K calls out Rökker’s “Suitcase of Cords”
Rökker sets up the Lair for live music each week, and in order to hook up the band to the radio stations there are A LOT of microphone and instrument cords. They are all kept in a purple travel suitcase and Jimmy K is commenting on it's state of being and throws Greg Ginter under the bus. Too Funny.

Holy Crow!

Heritage Foundation Booooo
In hour two we dive into the Big Story: more on the executive order banning birthright citizenship for children of immigrants illegally in the country. We get the Heritage Foundation's (wrong) argument on why it should stand, and the guys break down the blatantly unconstitutional order. With more bashing of the Heritage Foundation, the guys tear down Russel Vought, an author of Project 2025, and the nominee for Budget Director, who wants to "traumatize" the federal government. After the break, we finally get a break from politics, as we welcome in Jimmy K for a preview of Max Ink Radio and what's on tap for local music this weekend.
