In today's headlines: who cares?  The Babylon Bee has better headlines.  And they're equally true.  Roughly as true as Schitt's Creek, which apparently won every Emmy ever made.  Incidentally, did you know the Emmy's was this weekend?  We didn't.

It's Friday, so start your weekend off with some fun and laughs. Just saying "Ricky Gervais" gives you the case of the chuckles and so does Costaki.

Congresswoman Angie Craig calls in while sitting in her car, looking at the Capitol in Washington. She talks about growing up in a single parent household, working her way through college and what led to her decision to run for Congress after a successful career in the private sector. She talks about what's right in Washington and also the challenges of working across the aisle.  We are pleasantly...

Are your parents racist?  If you're old enough to be listening to this show, it's possible.  If not, tell your parents to start listening to our show.  Either way, the answer to the question is relative.  Do you live in a country where there are laws explicitly stating that certain groups have more rights than others?  No?  Then you're doing alright by human standards.

Would you like a number six with cheese?  Oh wait, we did that joke already.  What we didn't do was an in-depth discussion about the best and worst foods of recent memory.  We've also got a secret recipe from Chef Barnardi.  It takes about five minutes to make and you can probably make 50 pounds of it for a dollar.

Would you like a number six with cheese?  You got it.  No, we don't deliver fast food now.  We deliver comedy named after fast food.  Number Six With Cheese is a comedy duo who reviews food.  It's not a mukbang, it's not a critique, it's just a review.  That's part of why they're so popular.  You know what isn't popular?  Family law.  Sometimes it's necessary though, and that's why people like Ste...

Most people are getting sick of the Patriots winning everything.  Like it or not, they're arguably the most successful NFL franchise in the history of the league, if not American professional sports period.  Jeff Benedict's new book Dynasty talks about how they went from a joke team to one that makes most of the league look like the joke. The Dynasty - amzn.to/3iwE5gN See omnystudio.com/listener f...

Remember when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier?  Well it's time to downplay his legacy, because the "color barrier" now includes industries that already have black people in them, just not enough for some people's liking.  There is one very real barrier in the talk show world: the laughter barrier.  There hasn't been a single good joke in decades.  It's time to get with the times and start...

After what feels like centuries (to some people), football is back and so is Costaki's main source of jokes.  Not that we didn't appreciate the roadside attractions and state slogans.  Funny and informative.  The Harlem Shuffle is also back, by our decree.  No, not the Harlem Shake.  This is much older.  It's straddling the line between retro and vintage.

Do you find that the best part of waking up is vodka in your cup?  Do you drink two bottles of wine a day for the antioxidants?  It may be time to talk to Dr. Kelly.  Quitting is hard, and there are a lot of programs out there that don't really make it any easier.  Between listening to Tom and Dr. Kelly you should have the motivation covered.  Now all you need is the means and opportunity.  Wait,...

We've mentioned our opinion on phonies before.  For those just joining us, it's not good.  For some examples, look at the Oscars.  Yes, we have a specific example, but it's not really necessary.  Just look at them.  And speaking of jokes, here's one: what do you get when you take a Jewish woman from Missouri and put her in the university system?  A black/Hispanic woman, apparently.  That's how gen...

Every generation has its own idiosyncrasies they introduce into raising a child.  The previous generation's was diagnosing everyone with ADHD and creating a labyrinth of medications and other treatments, many of which did more harm than good.  Right now we're looking at home schooling, online school, hybrid school, etc.  Depending on how it all works out, we might be looking at permanently lowerin...

This episode is brought to you by the Montana Board of Tourism.  We're not getting paid for it, but we're still going to advertise for them because Tom and Kathryn loved it so much.  The fact that Minneapolis is a no go zone right now certainly doesn't help.

What happens when one of the most powerful corporations in the world teams up with one of the most powerful governments in the world?  "Power corrupts" is a saying for a reason.  As painful as it is, it's time to put the ideal of a bunch of passionate artists making family friendly entertainment under the leadership of a benevolent mouse to rest.  And to make matters worse, we're looking at six mo...

California's burning again.  I don't know why this is news.  It's never not burning.  It's like reporting that a raincloud is wet.  What is news is that mental illness is running unchecked.  Wait, that's not news either.  How about the fact that Minneapolis is apparently in the top ten places to retire?  Now that's something you've never heard before.
