Hey kids! The Kelly Manno Show is... somehow... still doing live morning shows at 7am on Mondays! ... I KNOW! Its a whole thing now!

On today's show, and in case you missed it last week, we recap our adventure in Crappy Christmas Caroling. You guys really pulled through with nominating your friends and family to be on the receiving end of our jackassery and boy, was it a good time. Listen to find out what happened involving something called 'liquid ass' and if we finally were able to get kicked out of a Walmart!


And YES, of COURSE there's video of these shenanigans!



In case you live under a rock, or, I don't know, NOT in the St. Louis area, we had an ICE STORM Friday that all but shut down every major roadway in the area. People were sitting in traffic for hours, emergency vehicles were delayed and over 1,000 accidents were reported. The roads were so bad, that some local school buses weren't able to make it through and get kids home! We talked to a listener who had kids stranded at their elementary school overnight and find out how she, and her kids, handled it! THANKS, MODOT!

Ok maybe it wasn't THIS bad, but sheesh!

Another case of, 'So weird, it has to be from here': Todd Beckman, the guy who owns TanCo and MassageLuxe and a few others were indicted on kidnapping and weapons charges. This guy apparently kept someone in a shipping container for days until the family paid him $27,000 (whut?). They eventually paid and he was released, but again, what?? Check out the story here and let us know what you think!

Lastly, are you in the Christmas spirit this year? Are we being Scrooges? Ugh. So this video is going around of a kid at a high school who is receiving shoes from, what looks to be, the popular kids. Now, we're not taking away that this was a nice gesture, but whats with all the cameras? Why is everyone gathered around? Was this just a stunt to get a viral video out there? Do you think kids need the world patting them on the back in order to do good deeds? We think this trend of fake charity videos needs to stop. Be kind to one another and do good things without expecting praise or hits on your video for it.  Are you over it too or is this just the best?

Hey guys, Happy Monday! We're back for a new live show with special stand-in co-host, Dan Duffy!
Dan is a St. Louis radio icon and we are so happy to have him filling Hoss' seat while he's out of town. Thanks for joining us Dan!

Dan's family has been hit with the stomach bug going around and we chat about home remedies and the one weird thing that Kelly swears keeps the stomach flu from permeating the entire Manno household.

You also might get a little preview of the next Kelly Manno Show crazy stunt so tune in! We might show up at YOUR front door this week!

Oh and before we forget, CONGRATULATIONS to our Ugly Selfie Contest winners! Jen and Nichole both put up such great ugly selfies and great marketing efforts that Kelly gave away TWO Hatchimals to these lucky ladies! Great job, girls!


Guys, did you get your pet rock from Nordstrom before they sold out?? NO!? Well, you missed out! These things were going for, like, $85 a piece and apparently enough people were suckered by this that they SOLD OUT of them.


We also played the hilarious Generation Game with Laura, a millenial, and Marilee, a baby boomer. Listen to find out which could answer more questions about the other's generation!

Finally, we get to weigh in on this so-called 'preacher' in Texas who goes to the Santa line in the mall and starts heckling the kids and telling them that there is no Santa. I mean, really? Whats your take on kids believing in Santa? Do you think you can be religious and still have Santa be a part of Christmas? Watch the video, if you can stomach it.

Not only that, they're kicking off the tour right here on June 27th at the Dome at America's Center! You couldn't wipe the smile off his face today if you tried.


WHO WANTS TO WIN A HATCHIMAL???

Its a full studio today at the Kelly Manno Show! We've got two special guests today and they just happen to be a St. Louis Power Couple. Angela LaRocca is an actress/director extraordinaire and Benjamin Hochman is a sports columnist for the hometown paper, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

First off, BIG congrats to Highly Suspect, the band Hoss reps, on dropping their new album, The Boy Who Died Wolf, and for having the #1 single in the country today, My Name Is Human! These guys are truly talented and the song is awesome. Pick it up on iTunes or your music-player-of-choice by visiting their website http://www.highlysuspect.net/.





Though we're SO OVER all the politics, we had to touch on Melania Trump coming out saying she won't move into the White House so her son can finish school in New York. She, in fact, may never live there! Is this a thing now where the White House is optional for the President? Tell us what you think! We also dug up the video of Trump going around with Rudy Giuliani in drag for some Press Roast years ago. Good stuff - check it out:




Angela talks about about the new movie that she directed, called 'Must Fool Everyone'. Kelly and her daughter, Luci, had a small part in the film, as well as Benjamin, who's part turned out to be rather revealing...

We next get to talk to Benjamin about being a sports writer at the Post-Dispatch and get his thoughts on St. Louis sports, players and coaches.

Also, Thanksgiving is here already this week so we're covering our family traditions for the big feast. Some low key, some a little crazy. Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?



And THEN! We bust out the mouth guards for a brand new round of the Mouth Guard Challenge! We did this one on Facebook live, so for the full experience, go to Kelly Manno on Facebook and check out the replay.

We're getting the hang of this LIVE show, thing! Still no phone calls but we're working on that and it should be up soon. We had our good friend Chris Becker back on the show today to talk a little politics on the recent election and share our thoughts on the protests and craziness around it.


Next, Kelly recounts the story about getting her son in trouble with the cops. Let's just say it involves the Manno-mobile and window diving. You'll have to listen to get the full story - its a good one.

Lastly, we decided to play a game because we're all stressed about this stupid election and Producer Stephanie practically begged us. Check it out to hear the latest installment of 'Never Have I Ever' and find out some of the crazy things we have, and haven't, done.

Thanks again to Becker for hanging out with us!
