When you think Jeff Foxworthy, you usually don't think about the Jewish Mafia. Don't worry, he's still not a made man. Then we've got a star-studded cast this hour. MIke Gelfand, Adrian Washington, Jimmy Francis & Jit from Maharaja's. It's our Minnesota version of the United Nations....SKOL Style! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While we normally have lots of fun on Car Selling Secrets, from time to time we get serious. Pam Mason reached out to tell the story of her 19 year old son who was severely injured when a motorist in a 2011-2014 Acura TSX ran a red light, striking her son in the crosswalk. We're looking for ideas of how to find this car and hoping that someone knows something. See omnystudio.com/listener for priva...

You've all heard of Kansas.  It's the state under Nebraska.  It's also arguably less famous than the band named after it.  Perhaps this is because the state of Kansas was never headed by John Elefante, whereas the band was.  That was nearly four decades ago, but it wasn't the end.  In fact, he just put out an album six days ago.  That's about as recent as it gets.  Even more recent was the crew le...

Dogs are man's best friend.  But are they baby's best friend?  That depends largely on the dog.  Some dogs are protective, some dogs are nurturing, some dogs are apprehensive.  You'll want to clamp down on that last one.  Carol will give you some tips on how to do so, at least in between stories about Jude acting weird.

People often marvel at the resilience of the human body.  Those people have never experienced altitude sickness.  The act of standing on top of a hill can practically kill you.  It's not all bad though.  You can be the ghost that haunts Altitude Sickness Hill.  People would come from across the globe to see you.  Or measure your presence with an EMF meter.  Close enough.

Dancing is just harmless fun, right?  Wrong.  Dancing will put you in a nursing home at the age of 30.  Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration.  Still, it's not normal to need a hip replacement in your 20s, which is what you get when you regularly stretch your legs at a 180 degree angle.  Unless you're a genetic freak like Jean-Claude Van Damme, that kind of thing should seem like a pretty ob...

The world is ending.  We're all going to die.  To be more specific, right wing people are potentially going to be allowed to say whatever they want on Twitter.  But that's basically the same thing, at least if you ask the average Twitter user.  We'll all remember where we were when people started disagreeing with us on the internet.

Nobody's watching the USFL.  Oh, let me explain.  The USFL is a new football league trying to compete with the NFL.  And just like the way you didn't know it existed, neither does anyone else.  Or they do and just don't care.  The real question is, why would they?  It's the NFL except the talent isn't as good.  And with the XFL allegedly on the horizon, they won't be able to get the extreme footba...

Usually, when a moth enters your home it's annoying.  They're not dangerous or unsanitary, they're just annoying.  Not this time.  This moth tells stories.  It's also an organization, not a literal moth.  The opposable thumbs and human brain really help when writing a book.  They also help when telling stories in an interesting way, which is what this book is all about.  We all know someone who re...

KQ Icon Mike Gelfand joins us in studio and we discuss all things Elon Musk. Boy genius or madman? Why is he really trying to buy Twitter?

Rick isn't here to talk about pinball.  That's why we wait until he's off the phone to dedicate an entire segment to it.  While he's on, we talk about The Johnny Rodriguez Project and classic country.  Not the "my truck broke down and I'm out of whiskey" kind of country.  The real classic stuff.  The stuff I've never actually heard.  But Tom, Gelfand, and Doug sure have.

Since the 60s, Disney World has operated almost like an autonomous region.  They collect their own taxes, pave their own roads, and permit their own buildings.  That may be coming to an end soon.  What impact this will have on the Magic Kingdom isn't known, but there's always one thing for sure: ticket prices will go up.  It's like the rising of the sun every morning.  The world could end and Disn...

Advocating for minimalism may seem redundant when we're on the tail end of everyone being trapped in their homes for two years.  But minimalism can mean a lot of things.  Social media addiction is a problem, for example.  Using it only when it's actually helpful?  That's minimalism.  Scrolling for six hours a day is pretty much the definition of excess.  Minimalize it.  Same for watching the news...

What was it, one week ago that we said movies are good again?  Scratch that.  They suck.  The age of movies has ended forever.  Just watch things from your childhood.  Those are always good, and not just because they're what you grew up with.  Well, maybe just because of that.  Sometimes you have to look in the mirror and ask yourself: was Surf Ninjas actually a good movie? See omnystudio.com/list...

Jon Stewart has a new show.  What, you didn't hear?  You and everyone else, apparently, because nobody's watching.  He's telling himself that nobody knows why, but we all know why.  It's the same reason cable news and talk shows are dying.  That's right: it's because Tim is just so fascinating that nobody's watching anything else.  Also because you can go hug mascots at Disney World again.  It's b...

You could say that spending several years sailing around the untamed wilds is an unusual thing to do.  Not for Stephen.  He's done it twice now, and he wrote a book about it both times.  It's certainly not a journey for everyone.  Undrinkable water, muggings, storms, sleeping in a boat.  People become apoplectic when their coffee maker breaks.  For those people, it's best to read about exploration...

Have you broken a bone?  If you're half of Americans, you have.  That's a lot of broken bones.  How about this one: have you ever superglued your hand to a basketball court in protest?  It's much rarer than the first thing.  We know of only one instance, but I'm sure it has to have happened at least twice.

Today, we rememeber our long time pal Gilbert Gottfried with some of the most memorable moments we have ever had on the podcast since we started back in 2012. His laugh will live in our memories till the end of time.

A Hodge podge episode where we talk about physical diseases, Macular degeneration, self-driving cars, Emo Phillips in a Northern Wisconsin casino. In honor of the passing of Gilbert Gottfried, we play some old live KQ Walser sports that nearly ended Doug's radio career.  On the automotive front, we talk about GM and Honda partnering in a sub 30K all electric vehicle, the introduction of the Ford F...

Today, we speak at length on two topics: soda, and the health issues of the Russian-Jewish diaspora.  And no, they're not related.  At least, nobody's proven that they're related yet.  Gelfand's theory involves inbreeding, which unfortunately you cannot diet and exercise your way out of.  You can, however, diet and exercise your way out of obesity, which is a much more widespread issue than having...

You probably don't have too many positive associations with the word "cult".  Makes you wonder why people join them, right?  One major issue is that they don't generally advertise themselves as cults.  That wouldn't be good branding.  Although they do their fair share of branding, both literal and figurative.  NXIVM figured out how to incorporate both kinds into their recruiting scheme, and it wor...

Mark has written 30 books.  You'd think that would leave him with no time to do anything else, but he's also a cook in what qualifies as his spare time.  To be fair, he had some pretty strong motivation: he was born in 1950, and according to the scrolls, food was pretty bad back then.  In many locations, it was bad until about a week ago.  This cannot stand.  Luckily, it doesn't have to.  Mark sta...
