Happy International Women's Day!  It's Monday and the Scramblers are trying to get going.  Todd has been going for hours, Stan is ready to talk politics, and Amanda has a migraine...so this show is a real nail biter to see who will survive.  Also, Mr. Politico takes on the Excedrin Queen for a rousing game of Yes or B.S., all focused on "National Proofreading Day".

All this and more brought to you by our friends at Swains General Store in Port Angeles.

As it turns out, 'bathroom' humor is really what gets the Scramblers laughing in the morning.  When Todd tells Amanda and Stan about an "open bathroom concept" condo that is for sale in Boston, they both kinda lose their minds...and it goes down the 'toilet' from there.

Also, how many bunnies is too many bunnies?  Why is the Washington legislation voting on a Saturday? More movie's being canceled.  And how ONE town thanked their hard working UPS driver...and what ONE guy caught his Amazon driver doing.

Thank you to Swains General Store for your continued sponsorship!

Stan, Todd and Amanda are in rare form this morning.  Topics today include our websites POLL, most 'angry' sports fans on social media, a totally 'freaky' "What the Florida" story and of course firing squads.  Plus, in a shocking turn of events, Stan brings up politics.  Weird...we know. *wink

Thank you to Swains General Store for your continued sponsorship of the Morning Scramble.

Todd talks to Port Angeles City Manager Nathan West about what's going on in and around the city.

Amanda Bacon talks to Oscar Winner George Chakiris from "West Side Story" about his new book, "My West Side Story".

The boys start the Scramble this morning sans Bacon.  Turns out...she was busy interviewing George Chakiris from West Side Story.  (Amanda seems to be living her best life this week).

Dr. Seuss was a major topic of debate this morning as Stan, Todd and Amanda try and grasp HOW he could be part of the cancel culture?  On another 'political' note...it's National Anthem Day!  Todd found a great "All Star" mashup of some of the BEST National Anthems performed.

Thank you to Swains General Store for your continued sponsorship!  Thank you also to Franks and Rainshadow Cafe.

Amanda gets to talk with Hollywood legend Mr. George Chakiris - Bernardo in West Side Story.  It was a role of a lifetime, and ended up providing him an Oscar.

For the first half of the Todd Ortloff show, Todd talks with Carol Turner, author of the true crime book "Scoundrels of the Salish Sea".

The second half, our own Amanda Bacon interviews rock legend Bonnie Tyler about her new album, "The Best is Yet to Come".  (she only fan-girled a little) :)

Amanda talks about cockfighting.  Todd talks about cats on a plane.  And Stan...well he talks about Shpilkis.

It's a laugh a minute Scramble this morning, featuring words from our show sponsor Swains General Store, as well as Peninsula Bottling and Hartnagel Building Supply/Angeles Millwork.
