Surprise Mace!

The 93X Half-Assed Morning Show episode 'Surprise Mace!' aired on October 5, 2026, and covers three main segments based on the show notes. The first topic addresses the undefeated Vikings and Wild—likely Minnesota sports teams and their performance at the time of airing. The second segment discusses a 'horrifying display outside Rocky Horror Picture Show,' suggesting the hosts covered some kind of incident or spectacle related to a screening of the cult classic film, though specifics are not detailed in the notes. The third and primary segment focuses on advertising mascots, framed as 'everything you've ever wanted to know about the advertising mascots you derelicts want to fold'—implying the hosts discuss various brand mascots and perhaps rank them or debate which ones listeners would eliminate. The title 'Surprise Mace!' is cryptic and its connection to the episode content is unclear from the notes alone. The episode runs 2 hours and 23 minutes, suggesting a full morning show format with multiple segments and likely ad breaks or tangential banter typical of the show's 'half-assed' branding. The show encourages listener engagement via text (651-551-9393) and provides multiple listening platforms.

Verdict: Without detailed show notes, this appears to be a typical local morning show with scattered topics and self-aware low-effort branding; it may entertain regular listeners but offers little substance or clear value for the time investment.

  The title 'Surprise Mace!' has no clear connection to any of the three described segments (Vikings/Wild, Rocky Horror incident, or mascots), making it unclear what the episode actually promises or delivers.
