Will you be putting any money down on the big game Sunday? When it comes to gambling on sports, particularly the Super Bowl, it’s quite entertaining some of the prop bets you can make: will Donald Trump attend the game? Will he tweet more than 6 times during it? Will a player kneel during the national anthem? Will Tom Brady announce his retirement after the event? On this episode we place our bets for the 2019 Super Bowl. The Daily Derringer Podcast -- Monday January 28th, 2019 Check out more full episodes at Q107.com

If you were to put together a list of movies that are considered polarizing, The Big Lebowski would definitely be on the list. People either love it or hate it. Still to this day you will find many who dress up as ‘The Dude’ on Halloween and a recent video clip on Twitter of Jeff Bridges dressed in ‘The Dude’s’ attire has people wondering if a sequel to The Big Lebowski is going to be announced during the Super Bowl. This got us wondering if there are movie sequels out there that nobody has heard of for big blockbusters. Was there a sequel to The Wizard of Oz? Splash? Who Framed Roger Rabbit? The Lost Boys? There were in fact some surprising sequels made to successful films that no one has ever heard about and Ryan put together a list of them to play a little guessing game we call ‘Movie Sequel or Not?’ in this episode.  The Daily Derringer Podcast -- Friday January 25th, 2019 Check out more full episodes at Q107.com

What does Canada need to do to place number 1? The Daily Derringer Podcast -- Thursday January 24th, 2019 Check out more full episodes at Q107.com
