It's time to burn the witch.  And by "the witch" I mean anyone who disagrees with me.  If that sounds like an extreme position, you haven't been spending time on Twitter.  It's the latest craze.  Literally.  The Queen's Gambit is also the latest craze, and as an added benefit has a significantly lower chance of sparking a political inquisition.  Maybe watch that in lieu of constructing a pyre. See...

If you want, you can eat nothing but potato chips and salami.  Just be prepared for the consequences.  Some foods are good for you, which by necessity means some foods are not as good for you.  One could even call them bad.  As always, the dosage makes the poison.  An entire wheel of cheese could be considered poison by some definitions.  Stick to slices. This Is Your Brain on Food: An Indispensab...

Young people tend not to have the best sense of fashion.  Generally speaking, the dumber it looks, the more they like it.  But the joke's on us: it's all cyclical, and certain elements of bad fashion might come back when you least expect it.  That's why football is so comforting.  No matter what happens, there's always a wide array of horrible teams to make fun of every year.  You're rarely surpri...

Wrestling will never die.  Why?  It's entertaining.  It doesn't cost a whole lot to set up a ring in your backyard.  It gives kids something to emulate.  Just don't emulate the whole steroids and CTE thing.  Physical fitness yes.  Be like Matt and Nick.

Larry 'Moon' Thompson from KS 95 makes his return to Car Selling Secrets. It's a rollicking conversation the covers the election, SNL, getting fired from radio stations and getting DWIs. We congratulate Moon on 32 years of sobriety which was clearly a good decision. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Masters was suspended, now it's unsuspended.  That's the last good news you'll hear today.  Topics such as politicians and the mainstream media really don't lend themselves to positivity.  Even the dog is sad, although he's sad for a completely different reason.  Still, it's part of the atmosphere.

There are people who can't live unless they have a 20th floor apartment that's walking distance to at least 4 different taco trucks.  Then there are people who can't live unless the nearest 20th floor apartment is a four hour drive away.  Today is about the latter.  People often forget that by area, America is still mostly rugged wilderness, at least by modern standards.  If you want to be a cowbo...

This might surprise you, but the "green industry", an industry involving a lot of money and some very nebulous concepts, isn't entirely on the up and up.  That doesn't mean you can't be green.  Just use a little scrutiny next time someone tells you about how green their business is.  Scott built Ed Begley Jr's latest house, and we all know how that guy is.  If he trusts someone to be green, it's c...

We learned today that musicals, especially plays, are a love it or hate it kind of thing.  After discussing several of them, we also learned that we tend to hate it.  But that's okay, because there are plenty of people out there with lots of money and nothing to do.  They'll be fine without us.  You can't go see one anyway.  We've been flattening the curve for nine months now and we will apparentl...

Sir, there's nothin' on Earth like a genuine bona fide electrified six-car monorail.  But that's not quite what we're talking about today.  We're talking about railroads.  Specifically, railroads of yore.  Remember the good old days of the 19th century?  It was a time when Americans were being displaced by cheap foreign labor at the behest of billionaire tycoons, race relations were strained to sa...

Crazy people.  What's up with them?  Well, if we knew, that would be a pretty big step forward.  That's part of the problem.  When the best known solution is to lock them in a room and hope for the best, you know the medical research is still in the early stages.  And speaking of the early stages, is it too early to call the NFL season?  Are there even enough decent teams to have the playoffs this...

Before you visit a new URL, it's probably best to check where it'll lead before you jump in.  There are some where it's kind of obvious, but sometimes it's a surprise.  Better to be safe than sorry.  The safest option is to just not visit websites at all and instead buy books.  Return to tradition.  Boxing is pretty traditional.  Read a book about boxing.

Does getting older give you anxiety? Well if you are a pre-baby boomer then probably the answer is yes!

Twin Cities Radio legend John Hines re-joins us in studio for the November men. Tom, Doug and John are all born in the first few days of the month. We tell stories about when the auto world was centered in Minneapolis along with 90 years of combined radio history in Minnesota. Tom gets mad when he finds out that John has been the recipient of two declarations from the Governor proclaiming "John Hi...

The entire country has gotten together toward one purpose: preventing us from talking about the election.  We got calls from Texas, Kentucky, and (naturally) Minnesota.  Mike Bryant and John Hines even showed up.  You could call it a cavalcade if you wanted.

Halloween is behind us, but the chills never end.  There are plenty of scary movies, TV shows (such as The Holzer Files), and presidential elections to watch that are sure to make you want to stay under the covers for a week.  Alternatively, there's the Care Bears.  The Care Bear Stare isn't as scary as it sounds unless you're Professor Coldheart.

Something's going on in America right now.  We're not going to tell you what.  If you don't already know, that's probably a personal choice and we respect that.  We do, however, talk exclusively about said topic for the entire hour, so if you chose blissful ignorance you might want to skip this one.

Election day is upon us.  Not that it matters.  There's TV to watch.  There are also surfaces to wipe down.  All of them.  Everywhere.  Seriously, the world is filthy.  If anything, COVID-19 has gotten people doing what they should have been doing since the creation of germ theory.

Epstein and Maxwell are this generation's real life supervillains, and for good reason.  They're rich, powerful, evil, and mysterious.  It's everything you expect minus the castle shaped like a human skull.  Like any good supervillain, many stories have been written about them, including The Spider.  Epstein beckons you to enter his web of sin.  But don't go in. THE SPIDER: Inside the Criminal Web...

When you think sailing, you probably think of some rich guy wearing an ascot leisurely cruising across the water.  Not so.  Sailing is serious work, especially when there's a thick fog and someone has been throwing benches into the water.  It happens, apparently.  Earthquakes also happen, and though Turkey was hit the hardest, we have a Greek guy on today so our thoughts are with the Greek people....

It's time to make America good again.  No, not great.  Pride is a sin, after all.  Goodness, on the other hand, is...well, good.  It's the opposite of evil.  What better a goal to have than the absence of evil?  There are numerous purported paths toward it, and in Joe's case that path is the bible.  Don't worry, we won't try to convert you.  We might try to get you to change barbers though. Make A...

You know how you can tell this segment isn't Car Selling Secrets?  We actually talk about cars.  Specifically, tire pressure.  Now that it's freezing outside, there's never been a better time to fill up with nitrogen.  That's why they call it Shocktober: your shocks will thank you.  It's certainly not because of horror movies.  I think we get a good one every five years at this point.
