KQ Morning Show Setlist: July 11

What was the punishment for messing with the thermostat in your household? Did it involve losing a finger?

KQ Morning Show Setlist: July 10th 2024

KQMS Setlist: A punishment worth stealing for the loser in your fantasy league, quotes from Presidential speeches that will leave you feeling dirty and Tony Lee has some really excellent movie pitches 

KQ Morning Show Setlist: July 9, 2024

Happy nude recreation week – how are you celebrating? Michelle in Andover is pulling out the baby oil and blasting 92 KQRS, Greg in Inver Grove Heights will be at attention saluting the flag, and naked Randy in Plymouth celebrated by scoring tickets to Lakefront Music Festival 

In “unfun facts” we learned about a pig sentenced to slaughter by a court of law, punishing criminals by provoking rats to burrow in the perpetrators’ stomachs, and a bunch of other horrible things that could all be names for Steve’s next band 

And if you tell Elton John your shoe store doesn’t have a bathroom, he will call your bluff by peeing in a bottle. 


KQ Morning Show Setlist: July 8, 2024

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.

Best background song for fireworks … turns out sitting in a city park watching fireworks is the only time we want to hear the “1812 Overture” like John from Ramsey… Theresa from Otsego and a ton of fans who name this as their favorite – Jimi Hendrix’ take on the National Anthem… Ray Charles version of “America the Beautiful” and “Purple Rain” all getting a lot of love, too. (AC/DC has an unusually high number of mentions for an aussie band…) 

Patriotic or Idiot winner Cassidy from St Paul got a perfect score today and tried to start a rumor about 200 years too late that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson dying on the same day (7/4/1826) was obviously some type of conspiracy…

The KQ Morning Show is on vacation July 4th and 5th, and will be back on air Monday, July 8th

KQ Morning Show Setlist: July 2, 2024

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 

KQ Morning Show Setlist: July 1, 2024

What’s the worst place to get stung by a bee and other horrible bee sting ordeals… Mike took one right in the butt cheek because he thought it’d be funny to moon some new friends on his motorcycle heading to Sturgis, Brent from Faribault got one in the eyeball and Rick was stung in the back of the throat and had to go to two different hospitals to get that sucker out 

“Beat the Toaster” went to a tie-breaker today – Kerry pulled out the win! 

And we paid tribute to Martin Mull… Known for his roles in Clue, Arrested Development, FM, and as a 92 KQRS DJ in Jingle All The Way 


KQ Morning Show Setlist: June 28, 2024 

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… 


KQ Morning Show Setlist: June 27, 2024 

Steve had a missed connection with Julia Roberts and we’re pretty sure she sits around listening to a Black Crowes demo tape thinking about how he is the one that got away…  

Joe cruisin’ around Lake Mille Lacs knew his fake ‘80s tv shows from his real ones and scored Rock the Boat ‘80s Cruise tickets… But Michelle wanted them so badly we’re going to let her play again tomorrow… 


KQ Morning Show Setlist: June 26, 2024 

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!
