I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, we unpack the story of an unimaginable tragedy that gripped the UK in 2023. But what if we didn't get the whole story? I've just been made to fit. The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapsed. What if the truth was disguised by a story we chose to believe? Oh my God, I think she might be innocent. Listen to Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. The perpetrator was sentenced to 99 years until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clayton Eckerd. In 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. But here's the thing. Bachelor fans hated him. If I could press a button and rewind it, all I would. That's when his life took a disturbing turn. A one-night stand would end in a courtroom. The media is here. this case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. Listen to Love Trapped on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What if mind control is real? If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. Mind Games, a new podcast exploring NLP, a.k.a. neurolinguistic programming. Is it a self-help miracle, a shady hypnosis scam, or both? Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Got that right? Welcome back. Here we are. Final hour of your little power trip. And ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special guest. Come to us all the way from Italy. Look at you. Parker Fox, everybody. Wow. Hey. Ciao, ciao. Ciao, ciao, gentlemen. What's up, man? How we doing? KFA.com slash watch if you want to see what he looks like. Is that in your room? Are you like in a conference room? Where are you? I'm in Taylor's parents' Airbnb. They went to Rome for the day. She had an off day today, so they were doing a bunch of different things. So we decided we would kind of just kick it around here today. So I'm sorry to be ignorant. What time is it there right now? Just turned 3 o'clock, 3 p.m. in the afternoon. Amazingly sober. I didn't expect that. I just had an affogato. I got some lunch. Yeah, it's a good day so far. So before we talk Olympics, just talk Italy for a second. What have you seen? What do you love? Oh, dude, this place is unbelievable. You guys would love it. I listened to you guys yesterday, Corey, talking about how sweet it would be to just call the Power Trip Morning Show from somewhere else in the world and do it during the day. Would be excellent, right? But no, this place is awesome. The food is fantastic. I think it got voted as a top two or three food city in the world. So everywhere you go, it's cheap. It's good. and the people are great. Everybody's so nice. A lot of cigarette smoking over here, Sauce. Hell yeah. You would have fit in a couple years ago, but no, the place is unbelievable. It rains about every morning, but besides that, the weather's great. There's no snow. It's like 50 and sunny today, and we're loving it, and the U.S. is 4-0, so there's no complaints over here. So where you are, though, is like you said, this is not where all the skiing and snowboarding is, right? You're in Milan? Yeah, yeah. I'm right downtown Milan, And then all the skiing, the snowboarding, all that's up in Cortina or Lugano. There's another place up there, too. So only figure skating, speed skating, and then women's and men's hockey here in Milan. How long does it take you to get to where you got to go for those events? Super easy. Their metro system here is unbelievable. It kind of reminds me of a little smaller New York in a way, a little less crowded. But same kind of underground subway system. And then you just take the metro system right to the last stop on the metro. And then they have buses that bring you to the rink. And it's a brand new rink. They built it just for the Olympics. I think 12,000 seats. It's been sold out for both the games that have been inside that rink. So the energy has been outstanding. And there's no complaints, man. It's a special place. And I think I've been to the World Championships to cheer her on in the past. And obviously Minnesota Frost Games. And that's great. And I get excited for them. But that moment I walked in the rink and saw those Olympic rings and saw her out there, it was like almost brought a tear to my eye, dude. It was it was pretty sweet stuff. And to just watch her kind of live out a dream that she's had for forever is it's really special. Are you going to the men's game tomorrow? I'm planning on it. Yeah, I'm planning it. So super fun. Everybody thought the men were going to stay in a hotel and, you know, whatever, probably like a four seasons type hotel or something. but they're not. They're staying in the village. They're literally in the same hallway as Taylor and her teammates. I think she said that Swayman and Ottinger, two of the goalies, are right across the hall from them. So I think that's just super unique. It just shows the kind of togetherness of Team USA and everybody's in it for a common goal. So yeah, I'm going to go check those guys out. A bunch of them went to Taylor's game yesterday and I saw Brock Faber in the hallway and we knew each other from both playing at the U. We became pretty good friends and it was just fun to talk to him and hear his experience so far, you know, of his second Olympics now, Brock Faber's second Olympics. Did he know you were going to be there or is that one of those like, what the hell are you doing here moments? I mean, he knows, he knows me and Taylor are together at Engage and whatnot, but I don't know. It was kind of took him by storm. You know, those guys are trying to be incognito, right? Like they're walking around the concourse with their hood up. And I was like, I was like, Favs, Favs. And he stopped and chatted me for a while. And I think some people were looking at him trying to trade pins and stuff. And I was like, get out of here, dude. So it was kind of one of those like, hey, we just randomly ran into each other moments. But he's a good guy and he's a heck of a player. So I'm excited to watch those guys tomorrow. The ladies are absolutely obliterating everybody, right? 20 to 1 in the four games combined so far. How do they not get overly confident here? Because they even smoked Canada. Looks like they have no resistance. Yeah, that's a great point. I was talking to Taylor about it this morning. And Canada's team captain, Marie Philippe Houlin, I think it's her fifth Olympics. She's arguably the greatest ever. She didn't play in the game yesterday. She was out with a lower body injury. So I think that's kind of in the head of all the American girls, as they know that with her, it can be a different game. Now, I think they also believe that if they play to the best of their ability, they can beat anybody, right? So I think you've got to stay confident. But you also have to understand, their first quarterfinals game is against Italy. So this is a team that they should beat arguably six or seven to zero. But it's in Italy. It's a hometown crowd. Like they could be fired up with 12,000 sold out fans. And the Italian fans are crazy. So I think it's just one of those things where I know that they're all competitors at the highest level. They played in world championships. You know, their captain, this is her fifth Olympics, Hillary Knight. She just tied the all time goal scorer in the Olympics for the for the United States. So she's probably going to break that record coming out here soon. So, I mean, to answer your question, you just got to trust your game. And I think they're the best team in this tournament. So hopefully they can go out there and prove it. Parker Fox again is our guest, and he's joining us from all the way over Milan at an Airbnb as he's there for the Olympics. Any other sports outside of hockey that you're going to or have gone to or looking forward to seeing? Yeah, so loving figure skating. That's become like my new big one right now. Yeah, it's, oh my gosh, man. I don't know if you guys have watched much of the figure skating, but there's this guy from America. They call him the quad god. Sure. And he's unbelievable. So I guess in figure skating, like the max rotations you can do is four. And he's the god of that. So the quad god. And his name is Ilya. And he's outstanding. So they actually offer tickets to their practices as well for cheap, like 30 euros or something like that. So the plan is to go check out a practice tomorrow. And then, you know, tickets to the main events can get a little expensive, up to like 700, 800 euros. So not sure if we're going to be affording that. but we'll definitely be watching it on TV. And then, like I mentioned, speed skating is here in Milan too. I got a little speed skating background. My mom was a speed skater. So it's been cool to keep up with that. And then you guys may or may not know, but Jake Paul, he's been here in Italy. His fiance, Jutta, she set the Olympic record a couple days ago for speed skating. And then Jake Paul and JD Vance were actually at Taylor's second game as well. So it was pretty cool to see Jake Paul. Yeah. And last thing, what have you eaten? Because you've talked about the food like a few times. Anything just spectacular? What is good? You know what's weird? I think you guys would hate because I like got it right away. And I was like, this is the worst. They don't cut your pizza for you. So you got to like, they give you a fork and a knife and you got to go in there and cut it yourself. So don't really like that aspect. But no, it's been all pizza, pasta, spaghetti, meatballs. Their gelato and their sorbet is unbelievable. They serve it in carved out fresh fruit. So you get an actual lemon, this big old lemon, and then they put the sorbet in there. It's unbelievable. So that's been good. And then your classics like your lasagnas, your risottos, all that kind of stuff. But it's funny because you would expect all these people, they're eating all these carbs to be overweight. But everybody's so skinny here and everybody's in shape. So it must be the portion size or something in America. Maybe we can get you guys over here to try it at some point. And it's because they walk everywhere. That's truly the difference. They eat whatever they want, but they just walk all over town instead of us driving everywhere. You just got to walk, man. Get your 10K steps in, right? You get that, Parker. You understand how that works. Totally. Yeah, exactly right. And the other unique thing is they don't allow gas cars in the city. So you have to either drive an electric car or you're walking. So, yeah, basically everywhere you go, people are either riding those little Vespas, like little mopeds, or people are walking. So it's actually pretty cool to see just like a community of people just going about their day, and everybody's out walking with a smile, and probably with a cigarette, too. Yeah, right. Did you fly into Milan, or how was the trip over? How long was it? And did you fly into Milan? Yeah. Yeah, I flew directly to Paris from MSP. There's no direct flight. I think the only direct flights are like JFK, Miami might have a direct flight. So I flew to Paris, which is a massive airport. Corey is, I think you know you were there recently. Yeah, it's a huge, huge airport. It took me like almost a half hour to get from the gate I landed in to the gate I had to fly out of. But I got there on time, and then I flew into Milan. So I think it was in total about a 10-hour trip, which is never easy for a 6'8 guy. But luckily enough, there was no one sitting next to me on my first flight. So I took advantage of that and had my feet completely in another space for sure. Sweet. Well, we appreciate the time, Adam. When do you come home? Yeah, not till the 22nd. So I'll miss you guys next week, but I'll be there the following. And I think the gold medal game is on the 19th. So people that aren't watching, you should start tapping in now because it's high level. And the guys start just around the corner here. I think the men play tomorrow is their first game. And it's so cool to just hear these girls talk about these stories of just the support the men are giving them as well and going to games and seeing them in the hallways and just cheering them on. And the girls are giving it right back to them. So the atmosphere is unbelievable. It's something that I didn't, I was kind of not prepared for how overwhelming it would be. And it's truly, it's a magical experience here at the Olympics. Well, Colin, anytime you get a chance, man, and thank you so much for giving us some time. Enjoy yourself, okay? And tell your beloved that we said hi and we love her, and congratulations. Yeah, she's sitting right over there. She says hi to you all, and we're cheering her on, and go USA. Appreciate you guys. Awesome. Thanks, Parker. Bye. Bye. Peace. Peace. So I'm watching KFAN.com slash watch on YouTube, right? There'll be a link here. Yeah. And right when I knew we were going to sign off in the bottom right-hand corner, There was a tab that says the top 10 hardest NES games according to players. I have to go through this and see what they say. Milan is way up at the top of Italy. It's closer to Switzerland than Rome. Leslie brought holiday donuts. I knew I liked Leslie. What? She's smart. He could go to Liechtenstein. That your sister favorite town Yeah she does like it there so what He could go to Monaco it not far Isn Milan like one of the fashion capitals of the world Milan is, yeah. I thought, yeah. I'm just answering yes. You did great. There's a city called Gorgonzola. The cheese? Kevin? Kevin Gorgonzola, I like it. No, that's an alien planet. Can I nerd out for a second? Of course you can nerd out. Like, we've had trouble getting people in, like, Shakopee. Like Tom Palacero? Yeah. Tom Palacero has had problems. That was the cleanest video and audio we've ever had. And it was Oscar in Milan. Almost no delay. Crystal clear. I should have asked him if we could talk to his beloved for a moment. But I hate bugging her. She's probably tired. Yeah, she's trying to win the gold medal. Yeah, man. She's going to win the gold medal. Yeah, oh, yeah. They're going to dominate. Yeah. What's on the list of those games? It looked like some kind of Addams Family game was number 10 Then one of the Mega Mans is number 9 I don't know what the hell this game is Some of those games are tough Nintendo games were tough There wasn't a lot of It was a lot of binary You either live or die So you either succeed or fail It's not like Red Dead Redemption Where you can die a thousand times And just how many hours Do you want to put into it you would get to level two or three of a game and say, like, I can't get past this board. And then you would just say, well, that's the farthest I'm ever going to get. And that's it. I can't stop punching my horse. Sure. Is that a euphemism? That was you and Redden. Dude, he's not far from Leon. I mean, he is kind of, but like, it's sort of like he's like, like the Black Hills far from here, from Milan to Leon, France. it's got to be tough because there's so much to do and see you know with the Olympics like mentally freezes you what am I choosing but then you also like you're mentioning there's so much around that area too that you'd like to hop a $20 flight to and check out especially if you have as much time as you does it's not like you have to spend all two weeks doing all Olympic things outside of watching your fiance play but outside of that go to France for a day or two if she has no games. He's like, yeah, great game, hon. I didn't see you in the stadium. No, no, no, I was there. I was there, yeah. While he's in Geneva. Yeah, right. The red light district of Amsterdam. Oh, man. Just dabbling. Yeah. Just looking around. Yeah. You know, testing some things out, trying some things. Look, if you've never been to Europe, though, and Parker just said it, it's the number one takeaway I've had every time I've gone over there, is it just makes you super pissed at the U.S. transportation system. system. Yeah. Because everything over there is so freaking easy to get from country to country, town to town, or sides of the town. You can have a metro system in a place like Milan and be like, it's a piece of cake. You just get on the train and you're there. Yep. And it's not scary, right? All the trains, all the public transportation is super safe, mostly clean. It's it makes you super jealous. You're like, god dang it. It's sweet. Who just won something? I think the moguls are done So I think that lady must have won gold Let's see here I know there's a lady crying on the TV The gal to the left is definitely Team USA A cough or K-A-U-F What hurts? She can't believe it Yeah she is She's shocked She can't believe it It's a nice Oakley Yeah Sweet goggles Yeah Oh, come on. Tell us what's going on. I do. Yeah, those are all Americans, aren't they?

He'll be here tomorrow. No, not take Hammer. Schwinghammer. Oh, he is. Taste Hammer? They're all crying. Why are they so happy? What happened, guys? Like, literally, they're all crying. They couldn't believe how good our connection was in Milan. Oh, Sauce, the Adventures of Bayou Billy's on the list. Oh, great game. That game was harder than that. That one person's done answering. They're pumped Look how happy they are So what do we got So it looks like we got Two out of the three And either gold and silver Or gold and bronze Which is it go Gold and silver Oh gold and silver Yep Top two for For women's moguls From From 30 Rock 30 Rock Liz Lemley And Jalen Koff Alright Two more medals Sweet That's awesome Way to go girls Alright headlines in a second This is the Power Trip Morning Show on the fan I'm Clayton Eckerd And in 2022 I was the lead Of ABC's The Bachelor. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected. The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it, all I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom, with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. Please search warrant. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of he said, she said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. I have done nothing except get pregnant by the f***ing bachelor. Listen to Love Trapped on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What if mind control is real? If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. NLP, a.k.a. Neuro Linguistic Programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain. It's about engineering consciousness. Mind Games is the story of NLP. It's crazy cast of disciples and the fake doctor who invented it at a New Age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all? NLP might actually work. This is wild. Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to the A-Building. I'm Hans Charles. I'm Menelik Lumumba. It's 1969. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. have both been assassinated. And Black America is out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia, at Martin's alma mater, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in Black history, Martin Luther King Sr. and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. To be in what we really thought was a revolution, I mean, people were dying. 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should. And it will blow your mind.

Hey, Carl. Yes, sir. Are those the same Alps? They are, right? Like, that's a dumb thing. I'm sorry. I'm stupid about things like this. I really am, and I admit it. But, like, Leon. The Swiss Alps. Yeah, the French Alps are over there. So that's just the, and then there's the Swiss Alps. So are you asking us all, is it just one giant mountain range? You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't know that either. My guess is if you're saying it like the Canadian Rockies versus the U.S. Rockies. Yeah, yeah. If you're saying it's the Swiss Alps versus the Italian Alps or whatever, French Alps, my guess is it's all the same mountain range, but I'm not sure. Well, here, Corey, off the top of my head here. While the French and the Bocs, the Alps, like you said, are part of the same mountain range. Brilliant. They are not the same. They differ in geography, culture, and in some cases, height. Well, sure. They definitely don't share the same geography. They're a different country. They average like 4,000.2 feet, I think. Sure. That's a lot of feet. Top of your head. Top of my head, yeah. I'll take your word for it. Yeah, thank you. Man, you really know your mountains. I think they both went 5-5 in their last 10 games. I just wish Lieber talked about the Alps earlier today. You need to relax. He's out tomorrow. I know. Why does he do that to us? No, not that kind of about that. Spend out a week waiting to see him. Think about fun things to say to him. Yeah, can't wait till the... Try to woo him. Viking sign Kyler Murray. Yeah, he's going to hate that. Yeah, he said he's not a fan of that. He's not. I think that might be where this is headed. But you know what, dude? I don't mind that. And I don't know anything about anything. I am certainly no expert like the great Ben Lieber or anybody like that. But I don't mind having him. This is a guy who a handful of years ago was one of the best in the league, right? I mean. He's had success. Am I wrong? He's had some success. He's had some success, yeah. He's had the flashes where he's a fantasy football freak once in a while, right? He runs in a lot of touchdowns and runs for a lot of yards. Our coach knows a little something about him because he faced him a couple times every year, right? Yeah. Yeah, I think he might be the option. He's an option. So rank these three hypothetical Vikings options. Kirk Cousins, Kyler Murray, Derek Carr. Walk into a bar. I think Kyler Murray would be one. Do you really? Yeah, I think Kirk Cousins, from what I've gathered listening to the guy who knows a lot about it 9 to noon, would tell you is I don't think Kirk Cousins comes here unless he's guaranteed to be the starter. But why would Kyler come here and want to back up J.J. McCarthy? That doesn't make sense either. Is there a team in the NFL that would guarantee Kirk to be a starter that he would go to? Maybe the Jets? Yeah, the Jets probably would. But doesn't he want a Super Bowl? I mean, that's a good point, Corey. Who? Kirk. Yeah, but I think at this point, though, the other thing is ESPN had a really good article yesterday about if you're in need of a quarterback, this is not the year to get one. The draft only has one great one that we think, and there aren't a lot of good free agents. I mean, there rarely are good free agent quarterbacks that come available, but yeah. And then I would probably say Derek Carr would be third. That would be my guess. I wonder if any quarterback like Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins, anybody. if they would watch tape and go, I don't know if I can beat him out for the job. What? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm not trying to be mean to anybody. No. I think any quarterback, by definition, believes they're better than every other quarterback in the league. Yeah. And I think if you're Kirk Cousins, you just watch the tape and you go, yeah, I got this. Right even if they don guarantee me the job I know I going to win the job Yeah That true I think not to get into the money of it You know what Get in the money bud Go ahead I think somebody like Kyler Murray would be traded for with a deal that the Arizona Cardinals would pay a bunch of it So then you could have either first dibs on him and then he doesn't really have a choice if he's going to start here or not. It's not like he's going to sign here. And you go, well, I don't know if you're going to be the quarterback. you'd have to be in a competition if you trade for him. So, yeah. It's going to be interesting, man. Why did you get into all the money of it? I don't think you mentioned a dollar. Get out of the money. Well, I mean, I think he's owed like $80 million. Oh, but again, the cap is a myth. You can sign whoever you want to whatever you want. There's no stopping the NFL. They're an unstoppable train. Are those American dollars? USD. I don't know. Ask the guy in the money. Yeah, get out of the money, Rich. Hey, I'm watching the cross-country skiing right now. The Nordic combined 10 kilometer. But I like this staggered start, how they basically are like, you know, from a past race. It's like, well, you have an 18 second head start. It reminds me of the head start that they would get during the Eliminator for American Gladiators. Where the one guy is already across the hand bike and the other guy hasn't even run up the treadmill part of it. You're at the ramp yet, and you're like, that guy has no chance. How in the sweet hell do you go up a hill on skis? How do you do it? Did you see that video Lieber posted yesterday? The guy did the sub six-minute mile up a hill? At a pace of a sub six-minute mile. Look at that. Yep. Boy, that's pretty neat behind him there, isn't it? In Estonia? Think of the quad gods, right? Speaking of different kind of quads, think of the quads you have to have to do this freaking job. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's got to be all legs. Look at those slabs. Yeah, look at those slabs. Yeah, look at the cheeks. He's all cheeked up. He's double cheeked up. He must work out. Can I just say, though, I would have expected a bigger behind. Your mic's on. Would you not have? Sauce, why don't you stay out of the money and why don't you stay out of the behinds? Yeah, stay out of the behinds. Well, I would look all this up, but this computer froze again. It's cold in there. One of us. It's fine. We can just do this. Why don't? Now it's time for Headlines. Headlines! Alright, here we go. Today is National Guitar Day. Let's roll. And it's National Latte Day. I'm not going to ask Chris because it's too easy. I'm not going to ask Zach because it's too easy. I think the only one in the room that this would be tough for is Sauce. Sauce, rest of your life. Yeah. Rest of your life. Why is it always tough for me? Because Chris would say he can't live without guitars. And Zach would say he can't live without guitars. But if I'm asking you, eliminating guitars from planet Earth or eliminating coffee from planet Earth? So theoretically, if you go see the Dave Matthews band, they have to play all of their songs without guitars. When you listen to CDs, no more guitar riffs. Do you eliminate guitars or do you eliminate coffee for the rest of your life? Probably eliminate coffee. You would. You have like six cups a day. Yeah, but I could change it to Diet Dew. I bet your pee pee smells like straight coffee. Yeah. What? To check it, I don't know if it's going to be straight coffee. Yeah, well played, Cora. Depends on how close you get. I don't check it like that. Oh, well, I mean, I... Oh, my God. I don't know how you're going to know the taste then. What's wrong with you guys? I said smells like. I didn't say tastes like. Yeah, relax, Cora. I'm mad-libbing. You're mad-libbing? I'm improv-ing. I did a yes and. Sauce. sir. So you're going to get rid of coffee. Yeah. So you can keep guitar. Yeah. You don't play guitar, but you just want to hear it. Yeah. Okay. Because of how much joy the Dave Matthews band brings me. And they will be here in June and I got my tickets yesterday. Good. Oh, hell yeah. And I paid for them. Oh, good. They are available to anybody. Yeah, they are available to anybody. Good. Alright, group trivia. Oh, sweet. Hopefully you didn't read this this morning. Which kind of groups? The three of you. Three-dude group. Oh, Zach's dream. Roadkill is legal to take in every U.S. state. You can go grab it in every U.S. state. Except for one. Now, some states have some rules and restrictions, but it is outright prohibited in only one. It's got to be Wisconsin. and it's everywhere and nobody ever takes it away. Alaska. I like that guess. It's wrong, but I like that guess. Thanks, Cor. Thinking outside the box a little bit. Yeah. Wisconsin's wrong. Wisconsin is also wrong. Florida. Another good guess, but also wrong. Chicago. That is a city. I'm trying to think of why it would be maybe Colorado. That's not bad, Zach. But why would it be illegal? Well, because I think it would be dangerous in the road to scrape it off. Yeah, you might want to leave it for the other animals, you know. New York? Montana? California? Here's the hint. This would be one of the last states, I would guess, because I would think that they are probably fine with it. But they're not. Alabama. Arkansas. It's called Shark-N-Saw. Shark-N-Saw. Louisiana? Texas. Texas is the right answer. Texas. Isn't that weird? Huh. Hmm. Wonder why. That would be one of my last guesses. I'd be like, they got to be cool with that. What do they care? Yeah, what do they care? Nope, apparently they're like, don't touch it. You can have an open beverage in your car there. Thanks. Can you really? Yeah. You used to be able to, yeah. No, I haven't seen the number yet, But Britney Spears sold her entire ownership of her music catalog to some company. There's no word on how much she got. But can you imagine? That's got to be a giant number. Last week we heard the Deftones got like 70, right? That's the Deftones. Yeah. If the Deftones are getting 70. Yeah. I wonder how much of her catalog she wrote. That's a good point as well. That's a good point, Hogs. I would guess almost none. Zach, what's her best song? I would say I know you like Lucky Lucky is the road kill of her music catalog to me stronger but how good is Lucky? Lucky is great I think the bridge for stronger oh my god but Hit Me Baby one more time obviously is good Toxic Toxic is good so many bangers any answer is acceptable except for Lucky why do you not like that song? it's a 1 out of 10 I love that song. So do I. This is the story about a girl named Lucky. It's like, oh God, how fast can I change the channel? But why? How fast can you? Like about a second and a half, give or take. Pretty quick. Yep, I practice for bad songs. Like, let's say your thing was listening to music. Your thing was? His thing was listening. Let's say your crankshaft was listening to music. Could you turn it down down there? It's like that dancing, singing trout on the wall. Oh my God. Billy Boy? Whatever it was called. The Adventures of Bayou Billy. No, but let's say instead of watching TV, not watching, but it was your background noise because you don't like to sit in silence because of the thoughts you have. Does anybody have any idea where this is going? Hold on. Time out. Just take a second. Don't judge every word I say. My thing was listening to music. Now I might be watching TV or the radio. Who's doing what? Start over. Let me start over. When you work, you have the TV on. Because as you have stated multiple times, you don't like silence. That is correct. I like background noise. I enjoy the silence. Let's say you were sitting downstairs by yourself, obviously. Your family had left. And you were like, you know what? I'm not watching TV anymore. My new thing is I'm going to put music on and it's just going to shuffle randomly. and that song comes on. Do you guys remember what we're talking about? But the controller is across the room. Do you get up and change it? I don't even remember what we're talking about. That's a little insight to Sauce's life. He thinks I'm so lazy that if I hate a song, I won't walk across the room to change the song. Yeah, but why is that worth it? I just got a call from the city of Winona. They've decided to go away from the KFN radio network. Why? Because of this story. Okay, well, I know it's not good, but I was just asking a question. The Fan Winona is no more. They still have the iHeartRadio app. They're fine. Good point. Yeah. No, thank you to the Fan Winona, 99.3. Yeah, man. For taking the Power Trip Morning Show this morning. We appreciate you. A couple days ago, Chad's like, hey, you guys got a new affiliate in Winona. And I didn't say, oh, you guys were there. I didn't say a word. And he goes, what's wrong with you? What's your problem? I go, I didn't say anything. He goes, I know your face. I've known you for 25 years. What's wrong with Monona? I go, nothing. Nothing. You didn't say that. He goes, why don't you like it? I go, I didn't say a word. He goes, I know you. Yeah. Yeah, he hates you. I didn't say a thing. He just assumed I was mad. Well, Abba goes to speak live as we speak right now. Well, hey, Abba Dabba. Yeah, welcome aboard. Yeah. I mean, the more the better, right? We got people listening all over the world. When we asked yesterday, we said, where are you guys listening? People on the iHeartRadio app are listening, like in Australia. Yeah, how about that? All over the place. Guam. Prisons, yep. Caged Heat. Yeah, did you get an email back? Not yet. Tweet your location where you're listening from. At Zach Halverson. Let's see where you're from. Send a nude or two. Please. My God. You said that so loud. Suddenly you were a Cuban. What's going on? In a way. Yeah, what's going on? We got to get this audio. I did not see this. Something called Sterla Holm-Lagreed. Yeah, I know her. That's a guy. It's a Norwegian man. Okay. That's not what he said. He won the bronze medal in the biathlon. That's the shooting in cross-country skiing event. That's crazy. But he said he couldn't enjoy it because he was heartbroken. Instead of celebrating, he made a crazy confession apparently in front of the entire world. He said, quote, There is someone I wanted to share this with who might not be watching today. He said, Six months ago, I met the love of my life, the most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life and was unfaithful and told her about a week ago, this has been the worst week of my life. He won the bronze medal. Hawk, you just said you knew. Sterla, were you his biggest mistake? I, wow. You know, poor Sterla. How about this? He says, I had the gold medal in life. He said it was fine. And I am sure there are many people who will see things differently, but I only have eyes for her. Sport has come second these last few days. Yes, I wish I could share this with her. If that isn't the all-time flex to try to get your girl back, basically saying, I just want a bronze medal at the Olympics, but if I don't get you back, it's not worth it. I doubt it's going to work. He wasn't worth a damn. Yeah, Sterla. You can tell he wasn't into it. He wasn't into it at all. He wouldn't look me in the eye. What if Sterla's ex just says, win a gold and get back to me? Poor Sterla. Or better yet, what if she takes a picture with the guy who did win gold? Or silver even. Yeah, would he even score Sterla? Poor Sterla. Chris still thinks Sterla's a woman. Don't tell him. Sterla still thinks he's a woman. Don't tell him. It was the biathlon. I completely mistook what it meant. I'm so sorry. How do these people and whatever these guys are doing get stabbed? Like behind. How do they what? There aren't blades on the ends of the poles. There's like little nubs. It's not blades. Thanks, Hawk. Thanks for not discrediting every word that comes out of my mouth. Yeah, I'm not a bank. Look how thick that snow is. What happened to that guy? They crossed skis and poles. They just dropped like six spots. Man, that looks like an unbelievable workout. Hard pass. It's like the best workout, right? Oh, right. Not that I do it. Like the very beginning where there was like that. I don't mean to be mean. Sterla broke my heart. That hill they were going up. If you told me there was a million dollars at the top of that hill and I had to cross country ski up, I would think about not doing it. Cross country ski up? Ski up. look at that I mean that's a little bunny hill so getting to the top of the hill even if you're a really bad cross country skier might take you a minute and for a million dollars you would say I don't know if this is worth it I mean it'd be hard it would be hard but you wouldn give everything you have to get to the top of that hill You know he wouldn For a million I understand if you said it was a hundred but a million dollars You know he would not. You know he would not. I would. No, you would not. I just think that he would try, but I think just the fact that he's like, is this even worth it? Worth what? What's the worst thing that happens? You get halfway up and you get tired. Yeah. The fact that you would even think about it not being worth it is insane. That's nuts. Alright, let's try a little... I got one thing for you real quick. Oh, go ahead. Please. Did you know that they made... The movie's actually done. They made a Hungry Hungry Hippos movie. They really did. Now, this is not a joke. Really? But here's the angle. It's called Hungry, and it's a horror film. And it's about a hippo eating people. So it's like the Anaconda with hippos. Exactly. That's scary. When they said they made a Hungry Hungry Hippo movies, I was like, oh, come on. Is it like a kids movie? This is definitely not a kids movie. It's a horror film. Who plays Sauce? Starlack. What are the guys? Mama June. What was his name? Sterla. Sterla, whatever. Sterla Holm Le Greed. Starlack. All right, let's try a quick history lesson. Hopefully you guys didn't see this. Here we go. Hold on, hold on. Hold on. Where's that? Oh, damn it. I can't. Oh, I do. Yeah, Starnak, the magnificent. Love it. Whitney Houston died in her hotel bathtub the night before the Grammys. Oh, that's right. The coroner's report ruled her death an accidental drowning, but also listed cocaine and heart diseases contributing factors. What year did Whitney Houston die on this date, February 11th, in her hotel bathtub? You know, I always try to remember if we were on the air when it happened. I don't believe it. No, I think it was a Saturday. No, I mean like as a morning show. No. Yeah. We were? I think it was like 2011. I was going to say 2010. I thought it was much longer ago than that. Are they right, Cor? Very close. 2012. Oh, wow. 14 years ago today, she died in the bathtub. How weird is that? What about this one? What year was it that former Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot his quail hunting partner, at the time 78 year old Harry Wittenden, in the face. And he survived. A giant story. What year was it when former VP Dick... They were hunting a former vice president? Oh, six? Not Dan Quayle. Actual Quayle. I think he was still the vice president when he did it, wasn't he? Oh yeah, oh six. Nailed it. 2006, yep. There you go. Wow. The guy that got shot in the face, if you remember, just died a couple years ago. He was 95. He bled out a while. Can somebody help me? Hello? It hurts. Major news story. Chris, you're going to love this. I know we've talked about this, but now they have a release date. The new Mummy movie with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. Going to be out May of 2028. Oh, I'll never see it. Yeah, there's no way that'll be good. Damn it. Where are you going? Heaven. With Papa? Papa? No, I'm going to heaven. My pizza sauce is going to hell for sure. No, he not. Oh, come on, man. Don't talk about Papa like that. Bosom. That's right, Rose. Rosie. According to a recent survey, I have some dinner facts for you. Dinner facts. It's not just for dinner. The average dinner time in the U.S. is what time? Dinner time. Average dinner time in the U.S. No, the time that it actually starts. Right before pound time. You know what? 6 p.m. 5.30. I bet it's later than we finish. Hawk says 6. Hawk says, what did you say, 5.30? Yeah, I'm going to say 6.30. 6.30. Roxy. The winner missed it by 14 minutes. Zach Halverson. 6.44 is the average time. Yeah, that's too late. Way too late. Well, I think we get with the prime time starting at 7 here. Yeah. And it starts at 8 in the Eastern time zone. Good point. We're always like an hour behind what most people do. On average, what percentage of Americans consistently say they eat dinner on the couch? What percentage of Americans say they eat their dinner on the couch? 80%. 30. 40. I don't know that I've ever eaten at a dinner table. Oh, we do every night. Do you really? Yes, every night. Dinner table. Yeah, with... Where you set the table and the whole bit. Yeah. Like, it's 1955. You like candles? We sit at the... We sit at... Yeah, me, Kelly, and Louie. TV and iPads and everything off? Yep. Just sitting in silence and talking? Yeah. That sounds like a nightmare. Does who come over? Papa? No, Papa does not come over. No, we, yeah, every night. I, yeah. Wow. I just sit at the table alone. It's funny, like, Millie Bobby Brown's character, Eleven, says Papa to Matthew Modine's character, and the way you're saying it is even the way that she says it. Is it really? That's weird, I didn't know that. Do you know who he's saying it to? Yeah. Yeah. So what's the number? Dream Dad. Here they come. Whoa. 18% say they consistently eat on the couch. Yeah. Really? 44% eat at a kitchen table, 34% at a dining room table, and then 25% will eat at a table in the living room, but whatever that means. I don't know how that's not the couch, but the couch is only 18%. Hey. It all just collapsed. The Norwegian won. Jay Lamparda won. Got second, yeah. Got second. Yeah. Shout out to Norway. Eating at a dinner table is important. We do it all the time. Well, I'm sorry. I don't do it. That's okay. It doesn't mean you're a bad person. I bet on average my family does that about once a month. I do it for Thanksgiving. With who? I just go straight to the source for most of my meals. For Hooter Juice? Whoa! Dude, what are you doing? Hooter Juice. Don't keep saying it. You're going to conjure him up if you say it one more time. Yeah, you're like Slender. I can't wait for him to show up. Who is it? It's showtime. I hope Hooter Juice doesn't have that voice. Where's a guy around here who's a little action now? Sandworms. You know I hate them. Too much. It's like the prestige. The guy do what he loves. Man, this show's dumb. Yeah, it is. What were we talking about again? You gave us numbers? Here's one last random fact for the day. Look, again, I think you've learned nothing in the last three and a half hours. Why are you looking at me? You said we were going to be better today. I did look right at you, but I meant the listening public. Here's something that's kind of nuts. I did not know this. all button mushrooms insert joke here that's my nickname were brown until 1926 when a mushroom farmer in Pennsylvania found a cluster of white buttons growing in his beds he cloned them and then began selling them as a new variety that's all I ever see is white ones that's all because some farmer 100 years ago was like hey, those things look pretty cool. Let's see if we can get those to be a thing. Well, if you know where they come from, it is much easier to eat them if they're not brown. You know what I mean? Sure. Can I ask a dumb question? I bet you can. No, go ahead, bud. We got you. Do the psychedelic ones come from manure? But do the ones you eat on a daily basis also come from manure? Well, I mean, yeah. Yeah. Right, Zekko? I mean, am I wrong? Yeah. I can answer for that. Off the top of your head, right? Yes. They generally originate from similar natural environments as many common non-psychedelic mushrooms. They grow in all continents, from temperate to tropical climates, typically inhabiting nutrient-rich soils, decaying wood, woodchip mulch, meadows, and manure. Manure. I'm preferring moist environments. What is one movie where they say manure? Back to the Future 2. That's it. It's the only one I've ever heard of. Manure. I think all three. I hate manure. What's your favorite one, Hawk? The third one, of course. Dear God. Help us all. It's very good. It's terrible. Hey, are you excited for that new show with Harry Potter? Sure. On NBC? With Tracy Morgan. Yeah. I think it looks pretty good. I've actually heard people that I respect say that it's surprisingly good. Oh, Rose. Rose, what are you looking for? The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins, I think is the name. I love those guys. I love both of them. And Bobby Moynihan's always funny. He's hilarious. So the cast looks good. Is it on Peacock? Or is it actually on NBC? It has to be on NBC, yeah, because I know it's like, I guess, considered a sitcom, right? So there you go. Now I'm excited. I'm glad they got work. And we talked about it last week. Tracy Morgan's one of my favorites, man. Yeah, he's really good. Love that dude. Somebody go get pregnant. Are you caught up on Thrones or not? I am not. I've been watching the Olympics. Yeah. They're only 30 minutes, man. It's the only buzzkill, though. Yeah, that is weird. They're short. Yeah. Thrones should be an hour. No. That lady looks like that one lady in that movie Knocked Up. Katherine Heigl? Yeah, she got it, doesn't she? What happened to her? She got mean to people, and so she got kind of poo-pooed in Hollywood. That's the truth. People thought she was mean. Yeah, I think. She got hotter. Yeah. I thought you were going to ask who else would love to get poo-pooed on in Hollywood. I just never know which awesome bit you're going to use. It's like, which hits are you going to play? Is he going to ask if Hawk would bang it or if his dad wants to poop on it? how are we on the air how are we employable in any way i just don't know that we are i don't know if we are either uh nine to noon is next the power trip monitor returns tomorrow 5 39 see you then everybody have a great day i love y'all take care of each other all right take care of yourself first i'm amanda knox and in the new podcast doubt the case of lucy let be we unpack the story of an unimaginable tragedy that gripped the UK in 2023.
