I decided to listen to the new show on my drive in and this is what I got from Travis who has some Iowa Hawkeyes podcast guy on:

"The offensive line isn't sexy. Fans don't care about the offensive line, they only care about QB, RB, WRs." And then proceeds to ask about Iowa's new center. 1) Are you that out of touch that you don't know that fans really care about line play and aren't that stupid, 2) if you really think that fans don't care, why are you asking about the new center?

At least he was talking about sports for once. I'm sure he's a nice guy but I'm not sure why KXNO cannot get someone local to talk about local sports...
Nobody wants to come out and say that Iowa's line was not very good last year and they lost their most important piece at center. Kluver danced around it as well... They were also RAVING about Iowa's skill positions which I thought was certainly a take...

I wonder if 5-0 (DSM Police) maybe pay for that spot as sponsorship as he's the face of the PD (so a public relations deal)

Because if not, wouldn't it be kind of weird for the spouse of a host having a recurring segment?
I don't think the police pay anything for it. I believe Crow Tow sponsors the segment, but at this point they probably do it just for the CAW that Sean has made popular.

Caleb is the afternoon producer. Justin is the producer in the mornings.

Justin did the Saturday morning show with Sean.
Was Caleb not who was in the booth this morning? I was just off of voice, regardless, the piss on the producer bit is old.

Morning show was a train wreck,in my opinion. ‘We,’ ‘KF’? Are you kidding me?

Travis asking the young producer if he's a boob or butt guy is cringe.

He's almost always cringe. Also seems to think he knows it all & his opinions are the best ever. Thing that made me turn the station, though, are his damn intentional stutters - just drove me crazy constantly listening to that.

That sound you hear is KXNO’s hr person hitting their head against the wall.

But why on earth do you ask something like that?

Because it's Travis. He is continuously inappropriate, but insists that he's "just saying what people are thinking." He's anti-PC, etc. I've listened the past few mornings to try and give the new shakeup a chance. But I'm starting to realize Sean and Heather made The Morning Rush bearable for me. Maybe it'll be better once Ross is back, but ... I don't know.

This. I take back what I said about new morning show being solid. The new Morning Rush is trash.

It's just the old Morning Rush. Travis will always do his inappropriate and stupid things. Hoping that the co-host will help balance out his "strong personality" is pointless because he will always be loud and obnoxious.

Bringing in Ross to try to mix things up is simply putting makeup on. KXNO is going to miss CW.

If Ross is as good as most on here say he is, how long will he be able to put up with the other jerk and his bs?

He ran out of talking points 4 years ago and is a blowhard that has never seen a cop that deserves criticism.
To me it gets old when in the same segment he says on certain (predictable) topics that discretion is the #1 tool in an officer's bag but on other (predictable) topics the law is the law.

It would be one thing if the "inappropriate" things he says were actually funny or entertaining, that would at least make some sense. But they are neither so instead of funny its super cringe.
