Name three records you’d put in your top 50 “American rock albums” … We ran down a few unusual picks from the top 50 American albums:

• Prince’s Purple Rain took the #3 spot… but is that a rock album?
• Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds was #1??? Yawn.
• Jon from Bloomington put both Van Halen (self-titled) and 1984 in his top three
• Jack from St. Paul shouted out a couple of live albums… J. Geils Blow Your Face Out and Allman Bros Live at the Fillmore East right along with the classic Toys in the Attic from Aerosmith. 

Beat the Toaster went to a tiebreaker for the second week in a row – Rand from Mound didn’t blow the size of the average yard and picked up a 4-pack of tickets to the Anoka County Fair this month. 

Fire off the dumb thing that happened when you were shooting off pyrotechnics … Jim’s grandfather had a firework take out his hand. He couldn’t get to the hospital so he stuck his hand in kerosene… And Wally had to switch seats with his dad in a truck full of explosives barreling down 35 coming back from Missouri. 

Firecracker… “Sex toy or Snack” winner Scott from Minnetonka won Three Dog Night tickets and learned that no one would ever name a sex toy “8 second ride” 

And Steve’s good deed brought him way too close to a Grateful Dead fan 

Comedian KP Anderson joined us to talk growing up in Cambridge… Being at Zach Galafinakis’ house to watch Mike Tyson bite off Evander Holyfield’s ear… And how comedians (and touring drummers) could easily get away with murder 

Michelle nailed her sales pitch and scored tickets to KQ’s Rock The Boat ‘80s Cruise… and recovered her dad’s hearing aid!  

And we started with Hawk Tuah and went deep on our favorite viral moments… 

What’s the biggest animal you could kill with your bare hands? Steve thinks he can take down a possum, Zepp doesn’t think he’s good for much more than a hedgehog and Tony is confident he’ll overpower an ant. Mark from St. Paul says he’s a retired MMA fighter and he’s confident he can take down a horse. 

We learned that fecal matter transfers can be done right in your own kitchen…  

And Cathy knew that Skinny Puppy was in fact a band from the 80s and scored KQ Rock The Boat ‘80s Tickets! 

What’s the craziest thing that has happened while you were on a plane?

• Angelo from Douglas County saw the jet his family was on get struck by lighting as it was landing
• Rhonda from Big Lake tossed her cookies all over the first-class bathroom
• Skip from Inver Grove Heights was on a plane that started to tip backwards at the gate so they all had all the passengers pile up at the front of the plane!
• Read more and tell us your crazy flight stories on our Facebook page

We played “People Are Strange” and learned that Tony rotates his dishes so they don’t feel left out – plus Josh from North Minneapolis scored Celeste Barber tickets!

And… Steve, Zepp & Tony get really nostalgic about the cologne they wore in junior high (stuff that’s probably banned by the FDA at this point)
