Today's best of just shows you how people look for ways to miserable and hateful. Why? I thinks it's because they don't listen to Duran Duran while picking on poor old Nicolas Cage See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we see the final battle between the forces of light and darkness.  Okay, maybe not darkness.  Crabbiness, perhaps.  Alicia believes in staying positive whenever possible.  Tom...doesn't.  But before you start cheering for Tom converted to the side of puppies and unicorns, remember that yang always needs yin.  Without balance, the whole universe could fall apart.  Still, maybe a bit more happ...

Dracula is one of the most enduring characters in the horror genre, and for good reason.  Before him, most monsters were powerful yet not particularly intelligent.  A giant lion is scary, sure, but you can always outsmart it.  Not so with Dracula.  He's not only more powerful than you but smarter as well.  How do you defeat that?  Maybe you don't.  If there's one person that could outsmart Dracula...

Everyone has a strong negative memory of the first time a movie really freaked them out.  This is an evolutionary mechanism to make it so you avoid bad things in the future.  Apparently horror movies have somehow managed to defeat this mechanism, because people love them.  They love being scared.  Dean is not only scared, but he's Scared & Alone, Saturdays at 8 PM central.  The name is rather iron...

Sixty five million years ago, something happened that changed the world forever.  It was called Dragnet, and apparently people are still watching it.  Well, one person anyway.  The rest of us are watching dinosaurs roam the earth through the magic of computer generated imagery.  And maybe rubber costumes.

Have you ever been called a sissy?  How about in a positive way?  If you're wondering how that's possible, it's because Landyn is taking the word in a different direction.  You know how "bad" used to mean "good"?  It's kind of like that.  He even made a song about it with Donny West, and he's debuting it right here.  So for all you sissy boys out there, here's your new anthem. See omnystudio.com/l...

There's a paradox in America right now.  Every boss can't find employees, and every unemployed person can't find a job.  Clearly, there's an issue somewhere in the hiring process.  Gene has identified at least one of them: bad resumés.  You already know to avoid typos, grammatical mistakes, that sort of thing.  But did you think about your email address?  You might have been using DemonSlayer420 f...

What is more dangerous? Hunting for unseen entities or hunting criminials in the CIA? Jay Wasley from Ghost Adventures tells us the chills and thrills of finding proof of the other side and Ric Prado gives the goods with Black Ops: The Life of a CIA Shadow Warrior See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marriage is easy.  That's why only 50% of them fail.  Hey, it's better odds than anything at a casino, and people go to those all the time.  If you want to stack the odds even further in your favor, talk to Chris.  He's the Couples Whisperer, and although there are no couples in studio today, all four of us are married, so there's plenty to whisper about.  Or in the case of this show, the opposite...

We have three generations of people in studio today, and one of them's a comedian.  You know what that means: it's time to riff on young people and their strange, alien behavior.  Even at comedy shows, they seem to enjoy leaving in a huff more than the actual show.  There's one comedy club behavior that bridges the generational gaps, though: heckling.  Drunk people from 20 to 120 think that their...

Today we've got half the time, twice the content.  It's an action-packed episode with both Tim and Kristyn, and even better, it's not a superhero episode.  It's a Top Gun episode.  Also China.  In fact, we talk about Top Gun in China.  Or more specifically, not in China.  Apparently they didn't get the memo that Top Gun involves the US military somewhat.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy i...

A wild episode where we talk about Josh Donaldson, the history of the Jewish neighborhoods on the north side and the world record setting sale of a very rare Mercedes. Mike classes up the place by reading a little Yeats and we finish with the dearth of Presidential candidates for the 2022 election. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jamie's a regular at this point, which makes sense because his comedy comes from children, who are an infinite source of surrealism and non-sequitur.  You know how most comedians aren't funny any more?  It's because they don't know where to look.  They also didn't have to go through trials by fire where they have to follow stories about death and destruction.  It builds character. New Episodes of...

The "let's all get along" train continues unabated as Damon and Stephen talk about their experiences growing up in the wide world of sports.  Sports has always had racial undercurrents, especially right now, but there was a brief time when people actually cared more about the game than identity politics.  Maybe we should extend that attitude from the locker room to society at large.  Turn the coun...

The Minnesotans among our audience (AKA basically all of them) may have noticed things haven't been so good lately.  Record murders, record carjackings, and various other unsavory records have been broken just in the past few years.  And in true midwest fashion, the response has been to go about business as usual hope the problem goes away on its own.  It's not going to.  Jai's here to tell you, a...

Comedy seems to go through cycles.  First, comedians will try to be as shocking and offensive as possible in a bid to push the boundaries or whatever.  Then people get sick of shock humor and start gravitating toward cleaner, smarter comedy.  Then they have children who think that clean comedy is for old people and the cycle continues.  Maybe it's because we're old, but shock humor just doesn't do...

Streaming went from the next big thing to the thing we're all sick of in record time.  Don't get us wrong, it still beats cable, but when you need 17 services to watch everything you want, it's really not much better.  So now that we all hate it, what's next?  We think Laserdisc will be coming back.  What's more futuristic than lasers?  You can also use them as serving platters, making them multif...

What happens if you're been married multiple times and you all go to heaven?  Do you stay married to the most recent one?  Do you become a polygamist?  Imagine having to spend eternity arguing about who's the favorite spouse.  Perhaps that's why they discouraged multiple marriages for so long: preventative measures for when you finally meet the afterlife.  It's a legitimate concern.  Unlike, say,...

George Carlin has been gone for 14 years already.  Depending on who you are, your reaction will range from "has it been that long already?" to "who's George Carlin?".  14 years is long enough for someone to have been born and grown into a teenager, after all.  Of course, some would argue that allowing your child to grow up without hearing about George Carlin qualifies as a form of child abuse.  Go...

Joking about the midwest with comedian Charlie Berens. For example, if you've lived here long enough, you're going to hit or almost hit a deer with your car.  That's not a joke, it's just the way it goes. Then John Thibault explains 150 year old statutes that were clearly put in there as a joke continue to exist to this day?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/...
