Deadliest catch has been on the air for a while.  15 years, to be exact.  Captain Colburn has been crab fishing for even longer than that.  Could you handle being out at sea for weeks on end?  Rolling waves, freezing rain, no sleep?  Of course you couldn't.  If you could you'd be out there making big money and not listening to podcasts.  For the rest of us, there's always living vicariously.  Just...

Which one of us got peed on?  Would you leave a hottie naked in your bed to record a podcast?  And what does DTF mean?  Those questions will be answered in episode two of Moon Pjugg and Hobbs!

It's Baseball time and our friend Mike Veeck from the St. Paul Saints joins us to talk about his return to MLB along with the classic story about how he was forced out over 45 years ago. For those not in the know, the Saints are now part of the Twins farm system so expect to see a lot of major league talent at the gorgeous CHS field in downtown St. Paul. We mention cars exactly zero times in this...

Can you own a lake?  It turns out, not really.  Then again, do you really own anything?  The state owns your land.  The government owns your money.  Even if you have cryptocurrency, its value is ultimately up to the whims of its creator and the ISPs.  One notable exception is cars.  If you own a car, you own the car.  Stay tuned for Car Selling Secrets, where we will almost certainly not talk abou...

All any American will ever talk about for the rest of history is police shootings.  Including us.  Far be it from us to go against the grain.  One major difference is that most people are clueless idiots.  We, on the other hand, are clueless idiots with a cop on the phone.  That's called an advantage.  Not that it really matters, because we still have basically no information on the incident.  Alm...

Do you think love can bloom even on a battlefield?  If it's the kind of love between a dog and its owner, sure.  All it takes is a piece of jerky.  Maybe a hose-down, because wild dogs tend to get pretty gross.  Craig met Fred the dog in Afghanistan in the middle of a skirmish with the Taliban, and that meeting started a chain that resulted in working with inmates to train service dogs for disable...

We've got drugs, we've got sex, we've got conspicuous consumption.  We've even got heists.  Why?  Because we're talking about celebrities, of course.  Also restaurant workers.  If you work at a restaurant, sorry.  You have to become a cokehead.  It's the law.  It's kind of like how you're not a real celebrity until you have a mountain of sex scandals and you drive your car into something at high s...

As it turns out, Tom isn't entertained by two big CGI monsters punching each other.  Apparently it's not up to his standards.  Sure, it's no Citizen Kane, but if you go into a movie called "Godzilla vs Kong" expecting anything but what you get, the joke's on you.

There are work dogs, and then there are companion dogs.  That's a polite way of saying they're not particularly useful.  A miniature poodle, for example, isn't going to be pulling a sled or detecting bombs.  That's why you need to be ready to defend them in case of coyote attack.  Anything bigger than that, though, and all bets are off.  As a species, humans are the apex predator, but individually...

Where there is life, there is disease.  That's basically the history of planet earth.  It's also the history of humanity.  If you look into the various diseases we lived with, especially long before modern medicine, you'll wonder how our species made it out of the caves.  To be fair, we live in the technological future and we've cured almost everything and we still can't even answer basic question...

Welcome to my podcast! My real name is Larry. But I had tons of different names during a 45 year radio career. Starting in my hometown in Nebraska and ending up in Minneapolis. From 1974 to 2019 I had a blast. Larry went away in 1983. My name for the last 38 years was Moon. And to my friends and family I am currently Moon and will forever remain Moon. I've met rock stars, Presidents, actors, and a...

We have all the nerdom you can get right here. A little ghosts, aliens and UFOs plus superstition but just a little stitious.

Scott Lambert, President of the Minnesota Auto Dealers Association joins us in studio to talk about Scott's boldest move, booking the Twin Cities Auto Show at the State Fair. As soon as he announced it, the food vendors lined up to participate. With free parking, great food and Covid protocols, this is destined to be a really exciting event. Tickets will be limited to 10,000 per day. For more info...

If you grew up in the past fifty or so years, you've probably heard that you shouldn't drink while pregnant.  In fact, you've probably heard it over and over for your entire life.  There's a reason for that.  It's called fetal alcohol syndrome, and it's not fun.  The good news is that awareness seems to be as high as it's ever been, and what was once completely untreatable has seen some promising...

Most states require some form of voter authentication.  IDs, affidavits, you name it.  This hasn't been a problem until very recently, when Georgia passed a voter ID law.  Why such an innocuous change caused a nationwide freakout is anyone's guess.  Our vote is for someone, somewhere, being evil.  We have no real reason to believe that, but we've never been wrong before.  It's called playing the o...

After a grueling 11 Kristyn-free episodes, all is right in the world again.  Well, almost.  We still hate the news and the politicians, but that's never going to change.  A more mixed bag is weather girls.  They tend to dress a certain way.  Approve?  Disapprove?  That's a personal choice.  One you can probably keep to yourself.

Kong vs Godzilla.  It's the ultimate kaiju showdown.  It's also happened before.  That's right, even the big blockbuster of the year is a reboot.  But that's okay.  It's two monsters punching each other.  Do we really care if it's derivative?  Sometimes revisiting the past is okay.  Other times, maybe write a new script.

Certain things are very generational.  For example, when you hear "pirate's cove", what do you think of?  Admittedly, our data is limited, but after today it's a solid bet that if you're under a certain age you probably think of some cheesy theme park.  Otherwise?  Something very different, apparently.

It's the 20s, and you know what that means: the KKK is back.  We're talking about the 1920s, of course.  What did you think we meant?  As if the early 20th century wasn't turbulent enough with two world wars, communism, and fascism, you had conspiracy theories about the pope activating an army of Catholics to turn America into the Vatican 2.0.  It was a very strange time to be alive.  Not that the...

The April fool's show reunites Tom and Johnny Rock Lassman. Other than blowing up a 77 Mustang II on the Long Island Expressway, not much car content here but for fans of Twin Cities Radio, is an episode not to miss. Tales of program directors gone awry, life on North Lilac drive and the birth (and death) of the Chucker. These guys haven't seen each other in almost a year and a half and there was...

You may have heard that the music industry is...interesting.  You may have heard it from us, in fact.  Well, it's not just us.  We have witnesses.  Danny, for example.  He was a concert promoter, which put him at ground zero for every insane thing that musicians do.  You can hear some today, or you can buy his book and read some tomorrow.  Or both. ALL EXCE$$: OCCUPATION: Concert Promoter - amzn.t...

"Danger" is a relative term.  For example, Nik doesn't consider Juarez dangerous.  He does, however, consider Minneapolis dangerous.  The average person might swap the two.  We take the third route and declare both no go zones, along with every other city in the western hemisphere.  Better safe than sorry, right?

Do you like cake?  Of course you do.  Everyone likes cake.  Do you like vaccines?  I hope so, because soon you might not be able to get the former unless you get the latter.  Then again, it might be the perfect excuse to never go into the city.  Sorry, I don't have my vaccine passport.  Oh well, maybe next time.

Pretty much everybody loves dogs.  Not everybody loves grooming dogs.  They fight, they bite, and they whine.  Not when Jorge does it.  He's magic.  Or perhaps he just knows how to pick the right dog.  Either way, he's got a book on how to do it and a show all about it.  It's called Pooch Perfect and you can watch it tonight on ABC.
