Ep - 90 Giraffe baby watch, prune head the felon, and transgender wrestlers. Oh, and poop, always poop.
Greetings again, kids! Sorry for the no-show last monday. President's Day and the kids were off school. Schedules are crazy and show prep is hard, so that means you get a special 'We're totally winging it' episode of the Kelly Manno Show this week! Hurray!
Kelly and Stephanie have been watching their lives slowly tick away while waiting for this giraffe to give birth on youtube. The Zoo is on day 5 or 6 now of lives streaming the giraffe, April, who was set to give birth "any minute now". We think the giraffe isn't actually pregnant and just has some bad indegestion. Aaaaanytime now, April.
Meanwhile, Hoss was in Vegas last week chillin' with celebs and stalking Britney. He actually got a picture with (trolling) Scott Stapp from Creed giving the 'Arms Wide Open'.
Speaking of Britney, Kelly sees something wrong with her latest instagram video. Do you think its strange that her son is filming her doing a handstand splits in the gym? Kelly thinks its overly sexual and not something you should be doing in front of your kid. Stephanie and Hoss think its fine because he's filming from the side and nothing is 'showing'. Check out the video here!! What do you think?
We also talk about the prune head guy that got busted for robbing a kid's birthday party. Its a legit condition he has but, I mean, if your head looks like that, then MAYBE don't go get a haircut then get arrested. See the full story on Facebook here. The comments are the best part!
Finally, we get to the controversy in Texas where a transgender boy won a girls wrestling title while undergoing sexual reassignment. So basically, s/he was taking steroids and testosterone to transition to a boy, but under Texas law, had to wrestle under the gender on the birth certificate. Some people are calling it unfair or that the wrestler had an advantage with the steroids. This one gets interesting and you'll have to listen in to hear our take on it.

Ep. 89 - A peek behind the curtain of the radio business with guest Curt Copeland
Another Monday morning means a pipin' hot new episode of the Kelly Manno Show! You're in for the treat of an extended show today, because we've got special guest Curt Copeland in the studio and we're talking the Grammy's, Kelly's geriatric dog chase and an insider's look at the business of radio.
This poor sleepy creature is Kelly's dog Molly. Little Molly is about 15 years old and is having a great day if she never has to get up from her naps.
Kelly's son Rocky had an out of town tournament this weekend so the Manno's enlisted their sweet neighbors to dog sit for them for a couple days.You're just going to have to tune in to hear the rest of the story and find out why Libby Lu made them this Thank You drawing featuring... the lake? Its a doozy, kids!
Next up, the Grammy's! Did you watch? Adele won nearly everything, Beyonce did yet-another strange performance art piece ("She looks like a gold statue of liberty who's pregnant" - Libby Lu), and Gaga was KILLING IT with Metallica - technical difficulties and all!
And then we see the photo of Joy Villa on the red carpet wearing a Trump dress! Here she is in all her 'Make America Great Again' glory. Was this a little too political for the red carpet? A great statement? No matter how you feel about the man, this dress certainly got everyone talking.
Finally, our good buddy and veteran local radio DJ, Curt Copeland stopped by (he's our very best friend in the whole wide world, after all)! We chatted him up for a bit on everything from the Cardinals, to Valentine's Day and Tom Brady and we play 'Two Lies and a Truth' and learn a few interesting things Curt never did.
He also gives us a sneak peek into the world that is on-air radio in St. Louis. Or, really, anywhere, probably. Curt's been fired from a few radio jobs and gives us some insight on the inner workings of how the stations are run, who gets to know what and maybe why these guys move from station to station so much. Its really a great listen, guys, so hang out for this extended part of the show. We'll definitely have Curt back on with us in the future!
Interview with an Escort...You've seen "Pretty Woman" now find out what the business is REALLY like.
In keeping with our series of "Interesting Jobs" on the Kelly Manno Show, we're so so stoked to bring you Kelly's number one bucket-list interview, the Escort!
"Becky" is a former professional escort of 10 years and has graciously agreed to come on our show and answer all our crazy questions about her life and work. Today, we learn things like the difference between a hooker and an escort, what her family knows and thinks of the job, how she keeps herself safe and even how she reports on her taxes.
There's even a crazy story or two in there - guys, you may never look at mayonnaise the same way again...
Listen in to get all the details and maybe learn a few things you didn't know! What was most interesting to you? Is there anything else you would've asked her?
Party people, thank you for listening! If you LIKE the show, SHARE the show! This is a great one to share, so get on it! We're back LIVE on Monday morning, so we'll see you at 7am!
Backroad Design photoshoot - Editorial, Fashion, Fun. {Kelly Manno Photography}
As my podcast continues to grow and shape so does my photography business. While I love and learn to balance both careers, it's not realistic that I can grow my Radio career and still keep up a schedule of shooting 30 weddings a year.
I've had a lot of fun branching out and exploring other styles of photography. My camera is like an extension of my arm, I will never set it down all together, but realistically I'm looking at a re-branding in the next year or two to reflect the direction I want to head :)
This is the third "Look Book" I've shot for Backroad Design. A comfortable and fun apparel line launched right here in St. Louis but selling nationwide! If you like what you see check out their website.
