There are a lot of victims in the world.  The paradox here is that most victims don't talk about it, while most people who talk about it aren't actually victims.  There are none so non-talkative as animals; that's one of their defining traits.  It also makes it very easy for bad people to do bad things to them.  That's why we get people like Bob, who is a good person, to do good things for them al...

It's Ash Wednesday, which means nothing to you unless you're a member of one of a few specific sects of Christianity.  For the rest of us, that means giving something up for the next 40 days.  Speaking of which, Harvey Weinstein is giving up his freedom for the next 40 days, and then about ten thousand more thereafter.  Now that's dedication.  It's also panic-inducing, judging by his recent chest...

Sometimes, coincidences work in our favor.  For example, Samuel is a doctor.  Ralph is also a doctor.  He actually knows what Dr. Shem is talking about, which makes for an informed interview.  How about that?

Did you know that it's really quite easy to solve all the world's problems?  All you have to do is listen.  To us.  You can't prove it's not true.  It helps that most of what we say is very obvious common sense.

Economists and historians alike have long lamented the decline of the middle class.  Everyone seems to have their theories as to why it's happening, but some theories tend to be pretty self-explanatory.  Like the fact that getting a four year degree is considered something you must do, but college has become exponentially more expensive over the years.  It doesn't help that the internet mob that i...

Katherine Johnson, the woman enshrined in the movie Hidden Figures, has died at the age of 101.  That's bad.  Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty.  That's good.  Downhill sucks.  That's bad.  Hollywood has gotten so over the top with their Nazi zeal that even the Auschwitz memorial is telling them to settle down.  That's...well, it's certainly not good.

Tom and Doug are joined in studio by Eddie Spadino. Eddie is an over the road truck driver with more than two million miles under his belt. We discuss costs, accidents, road hazards and how truck drivers are paid. Eddie also talks about pet peeves. Pro tip, don’t try to cut off something that weighs over 40 tons and also, don’t drive a pickup truck into a semi that’s stopped. See omnystudio.com/li...

Cars can last a really long time if you treat them right.  Most people think a 20 year old car is beyond the pale.  For Jayson, that number is more like 80.  Turns out 3000+ pounds of metal takes a long time to go bad unless you let it decay on the side of the road.  And people do.  For the ones that are still worth saving, there's Iron Resurrection.

Selling a house is hard.  This becomes exponentially more true the more expensive the house.  Aaron regularly sells houses worth tens of millions, so he can tell you.  And he did, by making a show called Listing Impossible on CNBC.  None of us will probably ever live in houses that expensive, but that doesn't mean the ones we do live in aren't a lot of work.  Have you ever counted 268 light bulbs?...

Living in a very rural area has its perks, assuming you like animals.  For one, you'll see more species in a day than you would in an entire lifetime in the city.  This is especially true if you decide to bring in a bunch of sheep and goats.  Then, fly down to Florida and check out the geckos, alligators, and parrots.  You don't even have to leave the country to be an amateur zoologist.  It doesn'...

Circumcision has been around a very long time, yet remains relatively cloistered on the world stage.  Some will tell you that's bad.  Like the guy who made Corn Flakes.  Big fan of the circumcision, allegedly.  Others would prefer to see the practice eliminated entirely, like Anthony.  Still others are more worried about what stupid crap Wendy Williams said this week.  By our count, that's two val...

We're back from Key West, which is a change some of us do not embrace.  Yes, it's 90 degrees colder here.  It could be worse.  Theoretically.  Plus according to Bob the beach sucked.
