Half your age plus seven is merely a suggestion - #2762
28/04/2025 Duration: 01h19minYou probably know by now that Bill Belichick has a girlfriend who is, shall we say, a bit younger than him. But how young is too young? Is a ten year gap a big deal? How about nine years and ten months? That last one is important. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bill and Kristyn pick up the slack and check out some affordable rural property - #2761
25/04/2025 Duration: 01h18minDid you know you can get a home for under 30k? It's true. You just have to live miles and miles from anything in a town with a double digit population. If that sounds like your thing, go and live frugally. If not, maybe you'd like to meet Bill, Kristyn's husband. He doesn't live in a small town either, so you've already got lots in common.

Cyber Sports Limited delivers a much needed change of mood - #2760
24/04/2025 Duration: 01h29minStrokes, molesters, mortality, and all that fun stuff. When it happens in your back yard you've gotta talk about it. Maybe not for the entire show though. That's why Debra and Shawn came in. Well, okay, we then talked about people getting hacked and scammed for a while, but it led to a positive topic. It's about the destination, not the journey. That's how the saying goes, right? Learn more about your ad choices.

Ralph returns, Mark Wick joins, and Josh has a fairytale of New York - #2759
23/04/2025 Duration: 01h26minIt's a full crew today, with the whole family plus a total of four guests. And out of all of us, only two have ever met Vanna White.

Popes have it rough, but serial criminals don't - #2758
22/04/2025 Duration: 01h13minBeing a pope isn't easy. First off, you have to be 140 years old, so at the very least your knees are going to be hurting the entire time. Then there's the whole "speaking for an entire religion" thing. That's a lot of pressure. If you really want to change the world, why not just move to Minnesota and become a career criminal? Nothing bad will happen. Learn more about your ad choices.

A bittersweet Easter, depending on who you ask - #2757
21/04/2025 Duration: 01h22minThe Pope has died after a long illness. At least he made it through one more Easter. As did every parent who spent the day cooking, painting eggs, and telling their kid that no, you can't eat the whole chocolate bunny at once. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jake Johannsen returns after not retiring - #2756
18/04/2025 Duration: 01h24minEver been in a sensory deprivation tank? How about Minnesota's famous anechoic chamber? Or space? Turns out there's a lot of ways to shut out the world and be alone with your thoughts, if that's what you're into. If not, go see Jake and be alone with his thoughts instead.

Paul Lambert refuses to give up on the Twins - #2755
17/04/2025 Duration: 01h20minThe Twins are roaring into 4th place. And by 4th place I mean 4th from the worst. But hey, it's better than 3rd, right? Learn more about your ad choices.

Jesse the Shrink psychoanalyzes the entire world, except for Gene Hackman - #2754
16/04/2025 Duration: 01h27minThe Gene Hackman story continues to get stranger. Hoarding, rats, endless pill bottles. This sounds like a job for a psychiatrist. Or perhaps Kristyn. Jesse's got other things to worry about, like the entire standup comedy industry. Learn more about your ad choices.

Vermin Chat with Ross Brendel - #2753
15/04/2025 Duration: 01h28minRats are gross. Mice are also gross, but in a very different way. Don't let their similar appearance fool you: rats in the house and mice in the house carry very different connotations. But talking about either of them is more pleasant than talking about the Twins.

Golfing and space (sorry, no golfing in space yet) - #2752
14/04/2025 Duration: 01h10minRory McIlroy just finished a Grand Slam. I don't see what the big deal is. I've eaten plenty of them. Regardless, apparently it's important now that he's done it. What's also important is that Katy Perry and a bunch of other women went into space for about ten minutes. I bet I could do that too, if I wanted. Getting back to Earth, maybe not, but that's not the part people care about anyway. Learn more about your ad choices.

Kids are supposed to grow teeth, not support media empires - #2751
11/04/2025 Duration: 01h04minWe're in the era of the kidfluencer, which sounds fun but apparently isn't. Not that abusing children for profit is anything new; first it was the mines, then it was chimneys, now it's TikTok. That's why everyone over the age of 60 has a back problem. All that mining they did as kids. Learn more about your ad choices.

Golf, bad accents, and 1923 spoilers (no, really) - #2750
10/04/2025 Duration: 01h19minIf you haven't seen the latest episode of 1923, you might want to hold off on this episode. We also spoil what happens to people who take steroids their whole lives. Talk about a bad ending. And speaking of bad endings, that "prison" place sounds rather unpleasant. Makes you wonder why so many people keep going there. Learn more about your ad choices.

Vinnie Tortorich talks doctors with us and inflation with Josh Arnold - #2749
09/04/2025 Duration: 01h41minIf you ever order something, keep an eye on that tracking information. You never know when it might enter a portal into purgatory. At that point, you should probably call someone. You should also call someone if you find a Yorkie that's been on the lam for five years. What you shouldn't do is micromanage your LDL. Live healthy and stop worrying so much. Learn more about your ad choices.

[Lost Episodes] John DeBoer does not produce nor light off bootleg fireworks
08/04/2025 Duration: 55minIt was the year 2012. "Tesla" meant some weirdo who did crazy stuff with electricity. Wait, that's still what it means. It also meant people on social media almost killed themselves for clicks. Oh, that's still happening too. Okay, I guess basically nothing has changed. Learn more about your ad choices.

Live from some doctor's waiting room - #2748
07/04/2025 Duration: 01h15minAll this celebrity death has gotten us thinking: when's the last time you went to the doctor? For Bob, there was no more putting it off, which is why he joined us a solid 20 minutes into his appointment time. But it's okay, because doctors are never on time. Learn more about your ad choices.

[Lost Episodes] Kim Valentini and Henry Dittman
04/04/2025 Duration: 01h07minThis episode features an early guest appearance by Costaki. Can you guess what we talked about? Yes, it's about how Minnesota teams are bad. But you know what isn't bad? Fixing cleft palates. They're still at it, so why not go donate to them? Henry Dittman is still at it too, recently reprising his role as Kabuto Yakushi in Naruto, a role he was old hat at back when this episode first aired. Learn more about your ad choices.

[Lost Episodes] Frank Wuco and Myq Kaplan
03/04/2025 Duration: 01h06minBefore he was a government official, Frank was a talk show host. We take that to mean Donald Trump will be appointing us to an important position any moment now. In order to help the process along, we'll utilize the power of prayer, much like Magic Johnson did. I wonder if PRAIDS ever managed to make its way into Myq's act? Learn more about your ad choices.

[Lost Episodes] Sofia Gonzales and Lou Mustillo
02/04/2025 Duration: 53minDid you know that Pat Boone did a song about Speedy Gonzales? We thought about it because Sofia's last name is also Gonzales. We are unaware of any popular cartoon characters named Mustillo, so that didn't come up. Learn more about your ad choices.

[Lost Episodes] Jim Melis and Diamond Dallas Page
01/04/2025 Duration: 46minDid you know that in 2012, New Jersey had the most billionaires per capita? That may no longer be true; things change. And speaking of things changing, maybe don't Google what Jim's been up to since he was on our show. Feel free to look up DDP though, because while he's no longer in the ring, his yoga program hasn't gone anywhere. Like, in a good way. It hasn't left. You know what I mean.
