The Courtney Show

How can something taste smelly? It's one of those things Courtney just can't explain. Today we had an excellent conversation with Alex Winters - you probably know him as Bill from "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure." We also shared our Tuesday Tidbits, had our first Spooky Sound Effects Theater of the season and somehow ended up having a discussion about Buddig meats. All in a day's work!

Courtney gave her Strong Opinion slightly early today since she had to leave a little before the show ended to golf with some clients - it was a great Strong Opinion, too! We also heard from Lil Jon, played a game with generic Halloween costumes and talked about ridiculous TV tropes.

What's "rope drop" you ask? Afton informs Courtney, Brando and Lance about another layer to her Disney nerd knowledge. Speaking of Lance, he came by to read Tales From The Ick. We also heard the hilarious nicknames our listeners give to the people they don't really know but encounter on a regular basis and we had one of the best First Five Notes in TCS history.

This week on All Girls Final..

The episode might have been boring, but the All Girls Final convo had the ladies cracking up!

Three tribes, one questionable reward, a budding bromance, and a whole lot of opinions. This week on All Girls Final, Afton, Kasey, and Courtney break down Survivor 51 Episode 4, "The Smart Move," and let's just say… not everyone was making smart moves.

We're talking Kristen's impressive survival skills, Mike's alliance strategy, the birth of Eric and Kilby's "Loverboys," and whether an iced coffee on an empty Survivor stomach is actually a re...

More news from Courtney's neighborhood - the kid who thought she was a man had a chat with Nicky The Fork and Nick called in to tell us all about it. We also had a full caseload for Court's Court, heard Questions For Mom and played our own version of Jeopardy.

Courtney has beef with a bike-riding bully in her neighborhood who said he thought she wasn't a lady because she has a deep voice. Boy, did she teach that kid a life lesson. It's Wednesday so we brought in the wheel for Wheel Of Questions, we got to talk to Fox 2's Andy Banker as our Who's On The Hotline surprise guest and we heard hilarious mistakes people made at the doctor's office.

Don't baste your BBQ - you gotta Maull it! We've got all your Maull news today on TCS. We also forgot to do Tuesday Tidbits but then we remembered, we picked a dummy of the day in People Is Dumb and we got ripped off on our chicken & waffle Oreos in Food Court.

Frosted tips are making a comeback?! That's the word on the street and so we had to discuss all the hair fashion fails of our past. We were Courtney-less today but we managed to get through somehow. We shared our Strong Opinions, found out that people are judging us for our phone backgrounds and yearned for nostalgic ice cream flavors in Food Court.

The number of times we used the term "waist chain" during Missed Connections with Lance is off the charts. Just another wild TCS Friday. We also talked to some official Hotdoggers who brought the Weinermobile to the station, learned a couple helpful tips in Now You Guys Know and had a challenging and entertaining First Five Notes.

Survivor 51 is getting MESSY, and the girls have THOUGHTS. 🌴🔥

This week on All Girls Final, Courtney, Afton and Kasey break down Survivor Season 51, Episode 3 — from Rhode Island Rob's questionable injury and exit to Carter's chaotic advantage hunt, a brutal immunity challenge, and a blindside that completely shifts the power.

We're talking questionable gameplay, equally questionable editing choices, and the player who actually deserves some credit for this week's moves.

PLUS: A little Big Brother finale talk, because we couldn't let that one go without celebrating!

00:00 Start

01:42 Did Survivor Remix the Them...

Lots of callback texts today using what Afton's son thought was the F word - frilling. Try sprinkling that word into your conversations today. We also took on some controversial cases in Court's Court, played name that song - horn edition, had a First Five Notes disappointment and had to check on Courtney because she may have reached storage capacity when it comes to remembering the names of actors.

Brando has a new family member - they officially adopted one of their foster kittens. Is he catching up with Courtney? Who knows really. Today we listened to Questions For Mom, spun the Wheel Of Questions, had a surprise guest for Who's On The Hotline and got to hang out with our buddy Tim Convy for a bit.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our Now You Know discussion about quicksand turned into the realization that we're all afraid of sinkholes and choking to death. Apparently we need to buy a suction cup device that will save us from choking. We also shared our Tuesday Tidbits, talked about the Gen X and Millennial version of skibbidi toilet and were joined in studio by Megan Little from the St. Louis Blues to discuss all things hockey, Hallmark movies and "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper."

Store-bought apple butter?! What is Afton thinking? Everyone knows homemade (or ho-made as Courtney calls it) is much better. We discuss in today's Strong Opinions. We also heard hilarious mistaken identity stories, learned about the latest influencer wellness trend and discussed the dangerous new TikTok challenge teens are trying.

There's a reason they call Lance Hildebrand the Traffic Overlord and he left no doubt that he deserves that title today when we quizzed him on very specific St. Louis road trivia. It was truly impressive. Lance also read Tales From The Ick, we heard the harrowing tale of Brando's exploding Pyrex and our top story...Big Brother crowned an Afton-approved winner

A chunk of thumb on the axe. That's it. That's the episode. 🪓🔥

Survivor 51 is only two episodes in and somehow we've already got Popcorn Gate, a VERY graphic axe injury, someone considering quitting, an idol advantage immediately shared with the wrong person, and a blindside that actually blindsided us.

Kasey, Afton and Courtney are back for All Girls Final to break down Episode 2 — including Brady/Brody's absolutely unhinged reaction to nearly chopping off his thumb, Rob's existential crisis, Jelly's idol discovery, and whether we're already watching some players play WAY too hard.

Plus: Courtney...

Sometimes you get a Court's Court that's a simple, open and closed case. It feels good to bring in swift justice and we did today in the case of the plain cheeseburger. We also celebrated National Pumpkin Spice Day, heard Questions For Mom and talked to our friends from Metro East Pride.

Things got heated in the studio. It got uncomfortable. We still aren't all on speaking terms. All because of the double space vs. single space after period. It's time to take sides. This great debate came up during Wheel Of Questions and we also talked about rich people stuff, learned about what's aging us and got a quick visit from radio's Tim Convy.

Is the phrase really "you've got another think coming" and not "you've got another thing coming?" Are we the only ones baffled by this revelation? Today we shared our Tuesday Tidbits, we took a quiz on the latest slang and we learned about the Strawberry Shortcake doll that really had Courtney in a sniff-hold back in the day.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

First, did you know it's "lede" and not "lead." Yes, we double checked it. Second, Courtney has big, exciting update that she just keeps forgetting to tell us about. Did we bury the lede just now? Sure seems like it. We also talked about some big dummies in People Is Dumb, we discussed all the big VMA updates in Hollywood Outsider and we complained as we shared our Strong Opinions.

All Girls Final is BACK! 💅🔥

Afton and Kasey are breaking down the Survivor 51 premiere — and apparently, we're going old school.

Two tribes are back, the marooning actually feels like classic Survivor, an idol is already in play, and somehow the very first Tribal Council turns LIVE. Plus: we're talking the return of the million-dollar coin flip, our early favorites, and who we're picking as our winner of the week.

Courtney is out this week, but she'll be back to join the chaos next Thursday.

IN THIS EPISODE:

00:00 — All Girls Final is b...

Tonight is Thursday Night Delight featuring Yacht Rock Revue and we are so ready to enjoy the smooth sounds of music that's really difficult to play. Will we have TCS captain's hats to giveaway tonight? A few. We also took a French fry thief to Court's Court, we heard about crazy things people did at work that didn't get them fired and Gen Z attacked the Millennials yet again and Afton tries to defend her generation.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Courtney is off the rest of the week, but not to fear - our good buddy Tim Convy was here. Today we brought in The Wheel, we heard Questions For Mom, talked to Nick from Yacht Rock Revue and heard insider secrets from Tim's DJ days.

Have you ever had that moment where you asked a really dumb question and realized by the other person's reaction that you weren't understanding something that other people get? It's happened to all of us and we're talking about it today. Plus, we're gearing up for Yacht Rock Revue with our captain's hats, we're debating the Gen Z iced coffee in an interview video that has the internet going crazy and we talked with Kelly Manno about the Gen X Takeover tour.

Sometimes you just want a giant box of Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch without any judgement. Will that happen for Courtney? Nope. Today we tried our hand at trilogy trivia, we shared our Strong Opinions and we tried to make Afton even more nervous than she usually is because the big, big bosses are in town this week. Also, the last segment of the show is missing again from today's podcast due to a technical issue but that has been resolved so we should be good for tomorrow. Sorry!

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and...

We spent the morning in Belleville, Illinois for their annual Oktoberfest and we had a blast! We hung out with Mayor Jenny and recently retired Fox 2 news anchor John Pertzborn. We also had a stein holding contest, played Throwback Live backward song edition live with in person contestants and all of our usual stuff. Heads up - the end of the show is not on the podcast due to technical reasons.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Courtney is in a celebratory mood to start the show and the "congratulations" just continued through the day. We also took a couple cases to Court's Court, cast our votes for the Toy Hall of Fame and the text line lit up with comments about paw paws and Norbert Leo Butz.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wheel Of Questions, Questions For Mom and questioning the elaborate school dance proposals - so many questions on the show today. We also discussed Tom Cruise's GQ cover, a pervy pumpkin decoration and all of Brando's funny voices.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Courtney has a pro tip for you when you're making your 70s taco salads - beware of unlabeled taco seasoning. Today we covered all the Emmy news from last night, shared our Tuesday Tidbits, and tasted some Tenacious Eats with Chef Liz.

Right out of the gate, an update from Brando made both Courtney and Afton gasp - Brando watched the cinematic masterpiece "Center Stage" over the weekend. What did he think of it? You'll find out. Plus, we shared our Strong Opinions, decided the term "darty" needs to be replaced with "par-day" and we had way too much of Lil' John. "What?! Okay!"

What is hommus? Is it different than hummus? We don't really know but we do know that it now comes in pumpkin spice flavor. We ended the short work week with a visit from Lance for Missed Connections, texts about things you didn't understand until you were older and a couple of group sing-a-longs in Throwback Live.

It's a big NASCAR weekend in the St. Louis area with the Enjoy IL 300 just around the corner and we had some professional drivers stop by the studio to hang out for a bit and we had to get in some Talladega Nights references. We also learned about the HOA coming after Courtney, took some Normal Or Nopes to Court's Court and crowned a dummy of the day in People Is Dumb.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our Who's On The Hotline guest for today was none other than That One Guy - otherwise known as Todd Thomas - the in-game hype guy for our St. Louis Cardinals. Todd talks about all of his Busch Stadium memories over 30 years of working with the Cardinals. We also brought in the Wheel Of Questions and took it for a spin, heard a list of questions from Afton's twins in Questions For Mom and talked about a lot of food both inside and outside of Food Court.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California...

Disney adulthood, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, The Spice Girls and Lil John impressions - the show was Afton heavy today which always gives us plenty to laugh about. We talked about how Gen Z is calling Millennials the new Boomers, we shared our Tuesday Tidbits and discussed yet another MLB story that has the Cardinals dominating headlines.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Started out as just a normal Friday but things went sideways during Now You Guys Know and we never really recovered. We also talked about some big dummies in People Is Dumb, we learned medieval slang words and we discussed the rise of analog rooms in Brando's Randos.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our good buddy Tim Convy stopped by today with his musical comedy partner Kevin Bowers to perform a couple songs from their tour and it got steamy in the studio. We also took a case about sending flowers to a dog mom to Court's Court today and the jury was split.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The delightful Mercedes Mackay, fresh off of her departure from KSDK, was our surprise Who's On The Hotline guest today and Courtney got to ask her a question she's needed answers to for a long time...how does Mercedes feel about the term TISL (Today In St. Louis). Finally we get the truth! We also spun the Wheel Of Questions after Brando's epic call to "bring in the wheel," we ranked overrated tourist spots and listened as Courtney used the can of air on her keyboard during Now You Guys Know,

See Privacy Policy at https://art19...

Is the past tense of a curse word, a curse word? Can we say that on the air? We aren't sure and Brando had to use the dump button on himself. Today we also shared our Tuesday Tidbits, heard a baseball edition of Questions For Mom and got confused about our local news channels.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brando is back from Montana with a big story to share. Things didn't go as expected but our text line was full of similar stories. We also learned about things that can kill you, talked about the latest "maxxing" trend and shared our Strong Opinions.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

St. Louis radio legend Guy Phillips was in studio with us to fill in for Brando and things went slightly off the rails when Lance came in for Tales From The Ick. Guy and Lance together again - we should have seen this coming. Plus another radio friend from station's past - Greg Hewitt stopped by.
