The march of progress continues, accelerating every day.  Have you ever heard the concept of a Never Exceed Speed?  That's the speed at which an airplane is likely to break into a million pieces from the sheer force.  We're pretty close to that speed as a society.  Sometimes looking into the future leads you off a cliff today.

There's a war in the desert.  The empire has abandoned the region and left it in chaos, run more by local gangs and cartels than the government itself.  We're talking about Star Wars, of course.  What did you think we meant?

You know Jamie.  He's a pretend firefighter.  He's a real and pretend comedian.  And of course, he's a dad.  Hence the comedy.  He may, out of necessity, also become Paul Anka in the near future.  Keep an eye on that project.  Until then, Tacoma FD is coming back, Aftermath is on Netflix, Breast Cancer Bucket List is coming to Lifetime in September, Stealing Jokes is being shot as we speak, and Ho...

To be a comedian, you have to have at least relatively high verbal skills.  This is not true for professional athletes.  In fact, it almost seems like recruiters actively avoid it.  That's not to say athletes aren't often quotable.  It's just that their quotesmithing happens entirely by accident.

Rob is the most important man in the world.  More accurately, he's related to every important person in the world in some way.  The DEA thought he was pretty important - a drug kingpin to be exact.  Don't worry, he's not.  Depending on your definition of kingpin, anyway.  What he is is an author, actor, and most impressively, guest on our show.  Our definition of impressive is very subjective. Bob...

Moon hasn't had a drink in a long time. But at one point  he was a mess. Same for this weeks guest.  It's Abby Kulseth. Crazy stories about what it's like to be a meth head and how that turned into poetry on episode 19 of Moon Pjugg and Hobbs! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Reverend Dana Strande makes her second appearance on car selling secrets. We talk about God and discover that Mellissa was a theology major. Some great conversations that are well worth a listen.

If you didn't get the vaccine, you may be fine.  You also may not.  If you did get the vaccine, you may be fine.  You also may not.  You could need a booster.  Or not.  Epidemiology is often more about probabilities than answers.  Of course, the scientific-minded might consider probabilities to be answers.  Dr. Bob, for example.  The fact that he was educated back in the days when literacy was req...

Marc is a one-legged mongoose.  Or something like that.  A one-legged mongoose features prominently in his life somehow.  That much we know.  We also know that growing up in the 50s simultaneously sucked and was great.  I guess it depended on the day.  What we don't know is Marc's preferred microphone polar pattern.  Is he a cardioid man, or does he go for omnidirectional? One-Legged Mongoose: Sec...

Preppers, get out the party hats, because today you're being vindicated.  That bunker full of rifles and canned goods doesn't make you look crazy any more.  In fact, do you have extra room in there?  We can contribute internet-based entertainment to the post-apocalyptic world.  Don't worry, we have it on good authority that the internet will survive the collapse.  Somehow. See omnystudio.com/liste...

What do you call an event that involves fencing, swimming, equestrian jumping, pistol shooting, and running?  You might call it nonsense, but the Olympic committee calls it a pentathlon.  Actually, they're starting to wonder if it's nonsense too after recent events have called its legitimacy into question.  And speaking of legitimacy being called into question, people are starting to wonder why ev...

Ralph's long wait is over: Dune is finally coming back, after a nearly forty year break.  Apparently Ralph isn't the only one who was waiting, based on Craig's feedback.  In fact, there's all sorts of stuff these days that doesn't suck.  The clouds are parting after all this time.  And not just because Tom finally showed up at the very end.

You hear some strange things when you're biking.  You also hear strange things while listening to football players.  That one probably doesn't come as a surprise.  Luckily we have people documenting these unusual quotations.  People like Costaki.  And Mike Bryant.  Word on the street is they might go on tour together one day.  The streets around here are notoriously untrustworthy though. See omnys...

Nursing is generally not seen as a high levity job.  It definitely takes a certain type.  That type tends to enjoy gallows humor to some degree.  You kind of have to.  Usually, said gallows humor is confined to the nurse's stations.  No longer.  Nurse Blake is bringing it on the road for the PTO Comedy Tour, coming to Minneapolis on October 16th.  Odds are tickets are already sold out by the time...

Some people like stand up comedy. Some like improv. Someone who has done both for decades is Stevie Ray! What makes him tick? Lets find out! https://www.stevierays.org/ comedy.

Another rare episode where all we talk about is cars. We discuss Biden's pending announcement of toughened CAFE standards, the rush to domestic battery plant building and the change that theTrump administration's China tariffs may have on US construction and a re-alignment of inventory chains. We also note that the NYC auto show is cancelled due to increases in Covid numbers and howthe 4th wave ma...

Have you ever wanted to be God?  A lot of people think they do.  It's a lot more responsibility than the average person is ready for.  David is the exception, although to be fair he's just pretending.  A lot of people think movies are real, so it's close enough.  David, AKA Dog - get it? - runs a dive bar with his equally divine family.  You could say everybody there knows your name, because they'...

We're getting rid of Facebook.  I refer, of course, to the collective "we".  Society.  The show itself will stay on it because we're a legitimate business and apparently you can't be a business without a Facebook account.  Other things we're collectively doing include not watching the news, not trusting the government, and generally just becoming paranoid recluses.  For those of you who aren't a p...

Have you ever thought you could cure lung cancer by drinking beer?  If so, you might have a problem.  Like a serious problem.  Even so, you've been vindicated by Tom Murphy, creator of Barb's Beer.  Barb was his wife who died of lung cancer despite never having smoked.  Very unfair.  Instead of focusing on that unfairness, Tom is writing books and encouraging people to make the world a better plac...

No matter your age, you probably think fondly of Disney.  You were either there for the golden age, the silver age, or you're young enough to not know better.  Unfortunately, one of the downsides of increased transparency and instant communication is that you have no choice but to meet your heroes, and you know what they say about doing that.  Except for Suni Lee of course, who brought home a gold...

Small towns have a lot to offer.  Quiet.  Low pollution.  Huge balls of twine.  Lack of murder.  What's not to love?  They don't even have to care about Politician A doing Bad Thing B because they're so far away.  They still will though, because we never shut up about it.  We make our problems your problems.  Including ruining the very concept of child actors for you.  You're welcome.

In ancient times, banking was more of an art than a science.  Your wealth had to be weighed against blocks of lead or whatever.  Even though North American Banking Company has been around for over 20 years, officially making them ancient, they stay on the cutting edge of money counting.  Nary a bronze scale to be seen.  That's how you know you can trust them with your money.

When you think world records, you're probably thinking of some incredible feat.  Well, prepare to have your illusions shattered, because being bad at your job is a record too.  That's why our trophy shelf is so huge.  It's also why we haven't been to the Super Bowl in over forty years.
