Jim Carrey, along with most other celebrities, is crazy. He is not as crazy as the guy who attempted to walk across Antarctica or people who look at porn at work. Which is apparently a lot.

You may be familiar with Tom's long-standard theory that the pharmaceutical companies are a scam. Maggie has a similar theory, though the onus for her was thyroid disease rather than the news.

With over 10 combat deployments and 24 years as a Green Beret, Changiz is the longest serving special forces member in US history.

Quentin Tarantino has recently said some things he'll probably regret. Sears has already done many things they'll regret. And James will be pleased to hear neither of those things are fake news.

Don Imus is retiring. At first we thought it was a big deal, but then we learned that he was only on the air for 50 years, which isn't even as many as Tom. Also, would you enjoy a movie with no dialog? It sounds bad, but apparently it's going to be good. Hopefully. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Super Bowl had more total yards than any other NFL game. And that's not the only record the NFL set that day: a couple of the worst ads ever punctuated the record-setting plays.

There's a war going on, and it's a war between Hollywood and Netflix. Maybe if they'd each stop churning out garbage every other day there'd be more money to go around, but for now it's about who can get funding the fastest. Star Wars has no problem in this regard.

In lieu of our previously-scheduled sports betting guest, Brandon's back. He may qualify for Platinum Status if he keeps coming on. All that means is that he does't get billing any more, but still.

Another teacher said something that would get him put in prison if the demographic were changed slightly, but that's not even news at this point.

Every nation has a way to ruin fish, for some reason. Usually it involves turning it into some kind of paste.

Peacocking was a popular trend for about 5 minutes that was reputed to get you more attention. The new trend is to be an actual peacock. Unfortunately, you can't fly on airplanes as a peacock, but at least you've got those feathers. Also, hotel room prices tend to be fairly gougeworthy during major events like the Super Bowl, but there's always something for a semi-reasonable amount. See omnystudi...

It's surprisingly common to be hit by a train even with all our modern safety measures. It's much less common to be shot in a formal duel.
