Apr 29, 2017, 08:57 PM

So it's rainy this weekend and you're missing #TheShowKC, right? Well, don't worry. Here's a little extra special package of some of the best stuff we've done over the past week or so that hasn't made the SHOWcast yet! We start off with great celebrity run-ins...when Producer Joey stumbled upon Royals legend Frank White at an event we had to know: what's your celebrity meeting story? We got everyone from Andre the Giant to Kevin Costner. Then, we talk Sharknado 5 with actress Tara Reid, who is in town this weekend at Planet Comicon. The next movie in the Sharknado series makes its debut this August. Last week both Truta and Shaylee the Millennial began watching 13 Reasons Why, the new Netflix series that discusses teen suicide, bullying, sexual assault and other important themes. While a bit heavy, we do believe it is time we started discussing these themes more openly in this country. That includes mental health and mental illness. We do want to pass this along: the number of the national suicide hotline for those who may have these thoughts and feelings you can talk to someone at 800-273-8255 (TALK). Truta and Shaylee reviewed the show and we talked about the letter some school districts are sending home that says parents should monitors kids who watch the series in case it romanticizes suicide. We took some listener calls and then we decided to go for the happy. People started to call in with the good things happening to them. And that's a great place to end our show. See you Monday!
