We got in trouble with PETA this week over Tammy's Thanksgiving turkey, so it's time to turn to a vegan to get some advice for our holiday meals. Thank goodness both of John's daughters are vegan and Abbey gave us some very helpful tips to make your holiday meals meat (and taste) free. Vegan chips anyone?!?…

Kids aren't allowed at our Christmas party, which makes it hard to go if you can't find a sitter. Are kids allowed at your Christmas party? Would you like a party where your kids could be there?

Yesterday we had John review a Hallmark Christmas movie. Today it's Producer Jessica's turn and she is watching what might be a new holiday classic - "Hot Frosty." Does the story of a hot snowman that turn into a real man worth the hype?

Nate Smith joins the show to talk CountryFest!

Jessica's husband basically disappears this time of year. He works long hours and on Christmas he is never around. After years of the same thing, she is starting to wonder if she'll ever have a holiday with her man. How can she get through to him that she is important too? Is this disappearing act enough to end their marriage? Should she love him o…

There may be no one in country music that has had a bigger year than Nate Smith. His song "World on Fire" was the most played song on country radio in 2024 and he's on all of the best of the year lists. What does Nate think is behind this massively successful year? We talked to him this morning about that and revealed Tammy's major crush!…

There's been many famous Santas throughout the years in film and television. Can you name the face that goes along with each of these famous hos?

It's that time of year when Hallmark, Lifetime, Netflix and more release a ton of new Christmas romance movies. Because we're here to be of service to our listeners, we gave John the task of reviewing one of the most talked about movies of 2024. That's right, he watched “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story" and this morning gave us his take on i…

Things that scare our dogs, Tammy was scammed and the final Ball Talk of 2024!

The fantasy football season is winding down, well that is if you didn't make it into the playoffs. Unfortunately, that includes John's mother Bonnie who ended up last in their family fantasy league. BUT she did win a very important prize and found out all about it when we chatted with her this morning!…

John's dog is afraid of the ironing board, Tammy's dog is afraid of cameras. What is the oddest thing that freaks your dog out?

For years, Tammy has been warning us about the scams we need to watch out for. So imagine our surprise when it turns out the queen of scams was scammed herself!

John saw a pair of shoes that he instantly fell in love with and thought the universe was telling him he had to have them because they were called "Roger," the name of his dog. Turns out, it was actually because of a sports legend and not the universe...

Complaints from PETA and a chat with mother-in-law Sherrie!

John got a jolt of Christmas spirit at the grocery store yesterday in the form of a hippie that looked a lot like Santa. But we need to know why this guy was buying a case of beer to head to the airport?!?

We've had some off complaints over the years at KSON, but nothing more unusual than the letter PETA sent Tammy last week after talking about the turkey her husband Kurt got for Thanksgiving. What was the oddest complaint you ever got at your job?

The Mega Millions is up to $619 tonight and everyone is rushing to get their tickets. That is everyone BUT Producer Jessica's mother-in-law Sherrie. Why is she now refusing to play the lotto ever again? We just had to call her and get the scoop!

Christmas season is in full swing and that means Christmas events are popping up everywhere in San Diego, including at LEGOLAND! There is so much to do and see for the holidays from special food, shows and even fireworks! But most importantly, you can meet some of the LEGO characters, including a couple brand new ones. Christina from LEGOLAND came …

Interviews from backstage at KSON's Country Christmas!

Did you know that Tucker Wetmore almost made it to professional football before becoming a country singer? If it wasn't for an injury he could have been on the field instead of playing our sold out Country Christmas show. We talked to him backstage and asked him if he would rather be playing football still or singing.…

Somehow John managed to find time in our busy weekend to put up his Christmas tree. He's very proud of how it looks, especially of two new ornaments that he was so excited about he had to send us a special video!

Megan Moroney has exploded into our next superstar in country music, as was evident by our sell out crowd at KSON's Country Christmas Saturday night. The good news is that she has some very special people giving her advice and guiding her along the way, including Kenny Chesney. We talked to her backstage before the show about Kenny being her mentor…

John just about lost his brand new jacket at KSON's Country Christmas! During our chat with Tyler Braden backstage he mentioned how much he liked it and John gave it to him to try on. Did he ever get it back?

John and our mid-day man Greg both joined a national fantasy football league that included country radio personalities from all over America. They aren't representing San Diego very well as they are set to capture the bottom two spots in the league!

John's mom Bonnie was lamenting joining the family fantasy football league earlier this fall when her team was losing horribly. Turns out it was all just a false alarm because now her team is destroying everyone! Will she be the big winner this year?

We live in America's finest city with so much to do and see but a lot of us don't go because it might be considered too "tourist." But sometimes it's fun to be a tourist in your own town. Where did you go as a tourist in your own town?

Most mornings when John and Tammy get to work they find Producer Jessica already there just sitting in her car. Why? Apparently she's scrolling TikTok and she's not the only one that does it...

While he was here, we had to know how he expertly pronounces th…

Aliens, monsters and velour tracksuits!

Watch out for aliens from another planet! According to an "expert" prediction, aliens will start a war in the skies at some point today. Sounds a little weird? That's because it is. We attempted to break it all down this morning.

Producer Jessica's son Walt definitely takes after his mother. He has become very demanding and picky when it comes to the Christmas decorations around the house. John can relate as his two daughters are a little judgmental when it comes to food, something they definitely got from him. When did you realize you raised a monster?…

John got a little jealous when he found out his brother-in-law bought a velour tracksuit to wear on Thanksgiving, so he got one for himself. What started off as a joke is now a very serious family tradition! We called Butch this morning to talk about his and John's new love of velour.

After going over their Thanksgivings, both John and Tammy realized they forgot to cook a dish. They had all the ingredients, just totally forgot to cook it! What didn't make it to your Thanksgiving table this year?
