The new normal is mass hysteria, quarantines, and blame shifting.  Which is pretty much just the old normal with more staying at home.  You know you won't get the virus from home media - like, say, podcasting - so you can breach social distancing all you want.  Movie theaters are less optimistic See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All sports everywhere are canceled.  Sorry.  You're going to have to get your entertainment elsewhere.  Like in Kate's book, which while it was written by a sports commentator - or sports princess, depending on who you ask - is not about sports.  At least not entirely.  You could also watch Babies, a show Libby is featured on, because she apparently does everything.  How many people do you know wh...

Three is the magic number of drama.  You've got musketeers, stooges, amigos, and now Christs.  It's not a guaranteed recipe for success; it helps if the entire world isn't too afraid of going to the theater to actually see your movie.  Golden age for streaming though.

We do our first ever live remote from the Twin Cities auto show. Doug is joined at the show by Mary Velline, who is in charge of the show, and Walser General Managers Brycen Eberwien from Subaru; Andy Swanson from Hyundai; Jason Loechler from Coon Rapids Nissan and David Berwald from Burnsville Mazda. We actually spend most of the show talking about product (for a change) with some fun stories thr...

People assume that once a family has money, it always has money.  This is overwhelmingly not the case.  It takes a lot more than simple hoarding to ensure that the wealth doesn't vanish within a couple generations.  Most of it can be found in Dennis' book, which is virtually guaranteed to be in stock because it's not hand sanitizer. Borrowed from Your Grandchildren: The Evolution of 100-Year Famil...

You know what they say about getting hooked on drugs.  Don't do it.  You've all heard the scary stories in DARE or whatever.  Now hear a less scary, but still off-putting, story from Nik.  It might not work on people who think staying inside for an entire year sounds nice.

Modern society goes to extreme lengths to try and prevent anyone from ever feeling uncomfortable.  Shockingly, the result is that many people have a psychotic break when forced to leave their comfort zone.  Who'd have thought?  Jason, that's who.  As a Green Beret he's familiar with discomfort, which he says made him stronger.  That's pretty impressive, given how strong he had to have been to begi...

Put out your cigarette, because it's coronavirus time.  Specifically, it's time to stop panicking.  Dr. Hotze says that unless you're already sick, you'll be fine.  Yes, smoking counts.  Wash your hands, take your vitamins, and say your prayers, brother.  That last step is optional.

Health is a tricky thing.  Every illness requires a certain cure, and if you're already healthy, taking medicine might make you worse.  Something called "sex dust" probably doesn't count as medicine, so we can't speak for that.  Cocaine, however, actually is medicine.  You don't use it like that though.

Right on the heels of Negativity Monday, we have Positivity Monday featuring John Tesh.  He's made about a thousand albums.  He's a famous radio host.  He's beaten cancer.  While everyone else is looking down, he's looking up, something he attributes largely to hard work.  It's not a very popular message at the moment, but those willing to hear it tend to do pretty well. RELENTLESS: Unleashing a L...

There are no synonyms for "negativity" that start with an M.  Just another disappointment in in today's world of nothing but bad things happening.  At least, if you pay attention to the news.  If you ignore it and instead go to Disney World, things are a little better.

Do you love that old time rock and roll?  Of course you do.  Have you heard of more than one, maybe two people per band, even the ones you're really familiar with?  Probably not.  Rock Godz is here to remedy that.  There are a lot of positions in the music industry that take as much talent as the front man.  Go see some of them at Grand Casino Hinckley on April 10th at 8:30.

Keto's been sweeping the nation for decades in some form or another.  Its latest form is that of a book by Rocco DiSpirito, who is Italian and therefore a good cook.  At least, that's what Nik says.  And it seems to be true, between his James Beard award and 13 books.  Rocco, not Nik.  He does have a book too though.

We've heard from basically everyone else regarding the coronavirus.  Why not an epidemiologist?  He's also the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the U of M.  Seems like a logical choice given the topic.  He's joined by another doctor and two people who are assuredly not doctors.  Someone has to run the show, right?

In 15 states, it's an important day today.  Something about voting, I think.  For everyone else, it's just another day to worry about the coronavirus and watch Cheer.  Not movies though.  Movies are over.  They had a good run.

Tom and Doug are joined by the mayor of South Saint Paul, Jimmy Francis, and his grandfather Carl.  Jimmy wins the internet with his 'my first car' story involving a dead deer, a Dodge slant six, and a retired farmer who wants to trade titles at midnight and calls him 'Dutchman' for no apparent reason.  Carl talks about his days as an 80 year old debt collector and the Minnesota polka circuit of 1...

Tom and Doug know classic rock.  They were alive for it, so that makes sense.  Davy was less alive for it, yet he both knows and plays it.  Our universe is truly mysterious.  If you want to be part of this mystery, go to the New Hope Cinema Grill on March 7th at 8. www.cinemagrill.com/live-music/davyknowles See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
