A listener calls in to tell the tale of the worst car buying and owning experience he's ever had. Sadly, it centered around the old Walser Buick site in Richfield.  Mike Gelfand also joins in with tales of self destructive Chevrolets and driving while blind to donate cars to charity. Doug relays his most recent experience fending of Craig's List scammers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy in...

The last time The Spinners put out an all new album, the 80s were still in full swing.  The 80s, as you may know, were the era of shady radio business and also shady used car business.  That's not related to The Spinners.  It does, however, mesh nicely with the experiences of just about everyone on today.  Even though everything was shady, people were still happy.  Why?  R&B.  It's coming back, an...

Do you mom so hard?  Kristin and Jen do.  The promo material suggests that mom-ing is basically just drinking a lot of wine, but they swear that's an exaggeration.  It actually involves a lot of raising children, if you can believe it.  It's not always fun, although it is always interesting.  Hence the new tour.  It's unlimited material.

No matter the topic, we generally try to keep the show lighthearted.  That's not always easy.  For example, today we talk to Cassie about her firsthand experience with domestic violence.  Not a fun topic.  Don't worry though.  We also critique of various types of clothing.  That's kind of fun.  Depending on who you are, anyway.

You wear a mask.  You got the vaccine.  You exist in a bubble that nobody is allowed to enter or exit.  You get covid anyway.  Sometimes life is unfair.  In situations like this, all you can do is stay at home and eat some apple pie.  Unless you don't like pie, in which case you're really in trouble.

Why are so many actors addicted to drugs?  The stress?  The culture?  Or just because they can afford it?  Maybe it's all three.  Of course, it does seem like anyone who gets famous for any reason is at least relatively insane, so there's probably a link there.  And speaking of insane drug users, The Sopranos are back.  And by back I mean way back, to when Tony was young.  Don't expect a lot of ca...

The world is a strange place.  The Vikings and Falcons both won.  Tom Brady lost.  And on top of all that, there are puppets making fun of people.  No, not us.  Literal puppets.  Whose idea was it to walk around pretending to be a stuffed animal or an elderly woman?  Certainly not someone of sound mind.

The Andy Griffith Show was a long time ago.  And yet, it's difficult to find an American who hasn't heard of it.  There are a lot of shows airing right now that nobody has ever heard of.  That's the difference between a legend and mediocrity.  Don Knotts is definitely in the pantheon of actors.  The only problem is, he lived in the era before Twitter where every actor is constantly tweeting out th...

Today we learn wth Cryptocurrency is and how money is the root of all happiness. Meet Dave Boniface from Legacy Capital. Teaching us stuff we should  have know 20 years ago. Enjoy. Then like and share this thing. Plus enjoy my Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame speech live from the Pavek Museum.

We are joined in studio by attorney Dave Bialke. We talk about workers compensation, fixing the suspension of a Dodge Coronet with a pipe and some wire. We also learn that it is possible to meet Columbian women by clicking on 'meet Columbian women' and how 90 day fiancée actually works (Dave is celebrating 8 years together). Finally, we discover the murder rate in Minneapolis is now close to what...

America isn't exactly known for the robustness of its education system.  It used to be.  It's not any more.  Why?  That's the million dollar question.  Or should we say, the 750 billion dollar question, because that's how much we're spending on a system that doesn't work.  If you know the solution, make sure to tell someone.  Because apparently you're the only one.  We do know that the solution is...

Pol and Patrik are gown and out.  That's a good thing.  It means they're high fashion designers in Beverly Hills, and given their house is big enough to have its own flatulence chamber, they must be pretty good at it.  They've also seen Betty White naked, which is the ultimate measure of success.

Craig and Gass are comedians.  They're also world-wide travelers.  From eating ice cream inappropriately in Amsterdam to meeting Dan Marino inappropriately, they've been making people uncomfortable all across humanity's domain.  Hey, it's better than most comedians who just make themselves uncomfortable simply by existing.

When you think "star", you probably think someone whose name you know.  Not any more.  Unless you count Sporty Spice, but that's not actually her name so it doesn't really count.  The younger generation isn't as focused on Hollywood celebrities.  They like social media influencers whose real names they never learn.  Hey, those nameless pseudo-celebrities are making millions of dollars talking into...

Have you heard about the bible?  It's a somewhat popular book.  There's a whole religion behind it, in fact.  Actually, there are about a million.  They're all called "Christianity".  It's very confusing.  That's why Jason suggests you pay less attention to the label and more attention to the results.  Is it bringing you good?  Good, keep it.  Is it bringing you bad?  Bad, get rid of it.  Note: do...

The Vikings have disappointed us once more.  This time it's different though.  This time they didn't perform quite as badly as we expected them to.  That's a form of success, right?  It's a relative victory.  Kind of like going from three packs of cigarettes a day to one.  It's still a lot of smoke, just less.

Do you like Cream of Wheat?  You probably paid for the Cream of Wheat mansion.  Technically, that means you're a partial owner.  You could probably live there as long as you stay within a .5 square foot area in the closet.  It won't be comfortable, but you can still watch movies on your phone.  For example, Cry Macho.  It stars a rooster.  Also Clint Eastwood.  The rooster is the real star though....

They say the internet never forgets.  Well, today that adage is proven very true.  Remember when Gelfand was on Wheel of Fortune almost forty years ago?  Today we discover a play-by-play of said episode, down to the letter.  Literally.  We also discover that Gelfand is pretty good at cutting commercials.  Almost as if he's done it thousands of times before.

What's a better way to spend your humpday Wednesday with Steve Perry? Think about it....don't worry, I'll wait but in the meantime, listen to this epic interview and eventually you will agree that Steve Perry is legendary!

Have you heard of LuLaRoe?  We haven't, and apparently we're the last ones on earth not to have.  Not to be confused with Lululemon, which we also talk about.  They're actually quite similar, except one of them is apparently embroiled in scandal.  We'll let you guess which one.  And speaking of lemons, we also learned that Kristyn hates all food.  Weird.

In a world of negativity, sometimes the only thing you can do is be even more negative than everyone else.  That way, the world looks like a positive place in comparison.  It's like being the tallest person at a short person convention.  That's why we only consume mainstream media and horror movies.  Can't get more negative than that.

Another year, another football season.  It brings Americans together in shame.  Except, of course, people from New England.  Maybe that's why they never get along with anyone.  That or because our "leaders" can't go without flip flopping for a single day.  I vote for the football-based explanation.

People take their coffee all sorts of ways.  Sometimes it's black.  Sometimes it's so full of ingredients that it more closely resembles pudding than coffee.  We generally like to stick to somewhere in between the two.  We also like to stick to not going into strip clubs, which is much easier than it used to be.  They've all burned down at this point.  What a coincidence!
