12/2/25 5PM: What’s That Smell?

Hour 2 of Truth In The Afternoon kicks off with Dr. Ken’s Top 5 @ 5, a fast-moving rundown of the day’s biggest stories which include news of travelers who are without REAL ID soon facing a new $45 TSA charge, Netflix pulling the plug on the animated Good Times reboot after just one season, along with former Milwaukee PNCC owner LaKia Jackson pleading guilty to health care fraud and identity theft, and ending with Martell Haire being arrested and charged with homicide in connection to the killing of Alderman Mark Chambers’ 16-year-old nephew. Later in the hour Dr. Ken opens the phone lines and chat open up for a lively mix of listener-driven topics: Is turkey actually delicious or are we all pretending? Why don’t people practice better hygiene? And how do men and women really look at—and size up—one another? The show culminates with a discussion breaking down rising tensions in Venezuela, with 11 U.S. warships and 15,000 troops now deployed to the Caribbean. He asks the big questions: Is war on the horizon, and why are these escalations happening now?
