Sisanie’s Birthday, Zendaya’s Marriage Advice & Being Friends With an Ex

March 31, 2026·36 min·2 clips

A guy wore gym shorts on a first date and got called out live on-air by the woman he took out.

It starts with station business already in motion. Before the room settles, the feed runs through iHeart promos for volleyball talk and a public-murder series, so the live-show machine is humming before BTS even arrives. Then Kimberly from L.A. gets on the talkback. She found the group at 15, and at 23 she connects their push to her becoming a registered nurse. The room grabs that right away. The host turns it into a warm little joke about BTS helping the people now getting her care. Christine is chasing the arena feeling. She talks about the purple light-stick wave, and the show stops just long enough to explain the army bomb sweep through the crowd. The contest details stay blunt: leave a talkback, include a phone number, and explain why Boston should be yours. Janelle brings the softer hit. She says BTS taught her to love her flaws and remember that midnight can reset even the worst day. That one changes the air for a second. The room jokes that this is why they should have been pop stars, because those messages make the band's reach feel massive but still oddly intimate. The pace keeps winning, though. Even the sweet parts get tucked back into ticket rules, quick reactions, and whatever is next. By the end, tomorrow is already queued: more Ed Sheeran tickets and a two-minute stress tip that supposedly cuts stress hormone output in half. Missed anything, grab the podcast. Otherwise, they are back first thing tomorrow on KISS.

As heard by us

A loose, companionable radio hour that gets its best lift from BTS listener messages and an easy best-friend test.

This episode moves fast, but not in a rushed way. It mixes a best-friend compatibility test with BTS listener messages and a few promo breaks, and the listener material gives it the most heart.
