Hour 1 [02/20/2026]: From Friday Fatigue to Trump’s MAGA Ballroom — Aliens, Hockey, and Hamtramck Debates

Marc Cox kicks off Friday’s show with early-morning exhaustion and humor about prepping for next week’s State of the Union address in D.C., blending listener texts and sharp banter on Prince Andrew’s scandal and government secrecy over aliens. The energy lifts as the team cheers the U.S. women’s hockey team’s overtime win against Canada and teases guests like Eric Burlison and Allen West. Kim on a Whim takes aim at Hamtramck’s animal sacrifice laws, sparking a fiery cultural debate on faith, freedom, and assimilation. Marc closes the hour torching media outrage over Trump’s new “MAGA Ballroom” at the White House — a symbol, he says, of progress critics can’t stand to see built.
