This month’s Classic Rock and Beyond welcomes a special guest: 8-year-old TK Rose, Vashon’s unofficial mayor, who joins Drew and Doug in the Jean Bosch Broadcast Studio for an interview and a full-blown second-hour show takeover. TK arrived ready to rule the airwaves, bringing along a list of his favorite songs and filling the entire second hour of the broadcast with his personal picks.

As always, the show kicks off with the latest Weird News:

• Georgia – “Brown Friday,” the day after Thanksgiving, when plumbing across the state gets pushed to its limits.
• Hawaiʻi – A tourist on the Big Island drives his rental jeep off a cliff in the early morning dark but manages to swim to shore before being rescued by helicopter.
• Idaho – The 1948 “Beaver Drop,” a state program that parachuted 76 beavers into the Chamberlain Basin as part of a relocation effort.

In this month’s Things That Make Doug Mad, Doug can’t quite muster his usual fire. His chosen topic: shopping carts with broken wheels — those that veer sideways and screech across store floors. Drew calls him out for a half-hearted rant, but Doug admits he just couldn’t channel his anger with TK in the studio, joking that he was too excited about the honorary mayor’s visit to focus on fury.

The music this month spans both the regular Classic Rock and Beyond flavor and TK’s energetic playlist. The first hour features artists like Queens of the Stone Age, Alice in Chains, Dire Straits, Nirvana, and Radiohead, before handing the reins over to TK Rose. TK’s set includes Queen anthems, AC/DC, The White Stripes, Kansas, and a mix of newer pop tracks from Imagine Dragons, Mike Posner, Yung Gravy, and more — a wild and joyful mix that captures the spirit of the island’s youngest elected “official.”

It’s an episode that blends quirky headlines, family banter, and a unique musical journey, capped with TK’s infectious enthusiasm.
