Presidents Day, Mardi Gras in STL, and City SC Flag Debate | Chris & Amy Hour 1

Chris and Amy kick off Presidents Day with a look at St. Louis weather after a rainy Mardi Gras weekend. The hour covers crowd turnout and vibe from the city’s celebrations, plus why St. Louis continues to “punch above its weight” as a sports town with strong support for the Cardinals, Billikens, City SC, and the Battlehawks. They also dive into a new St. Louis City SC policy limiting political flags inside the stadium and debate what counts as political messaging versus inclusivity. Along the way, the show touches on a curling rules controversy at the Winter Olympics, ultra-processed foods and health concerns, hotel chains cutting back on free breakfast, and an Illinois proposal to lower the DUI limit. The hour wraps with a Presidents Day theme and a tease for an upcoming WashU history guest.
