The Family Archives

In Minnesota, everything happens in Bloomington.  The airport is there, the Mall of America is there, and Steve was there, where he apparently spent his nights in White Castle.  He's also one of very few people - perhaps the only person - to write a Sports Illustrated story in Antarctica, which is especially impressive since there's not a whole lot of sport-playing going on there. Nights in White...

You know how people who get famous at a young age tend to go insane?  Some don't.  Jaci started charting #1 at age 17, yet you're hearing her here, not on TMZ, which is a good indicator.  How did she do it?  God, family, and other things antithetical to the poisonous Hollywood lifestyle.

A lot of people hate getting medical procedures done.  Is that because going to the doctor sucks, or because people love to hate?  We discuss both in depth, though not at the same time.  Perhaps the solution to all wars is to make dentistry less unpleasant.  You can't prove it's not. Why We Hate 6 episode series Premieres Sunday October 13th at 10pmET/PT on Discovery Channel See omnystudio.com/lis...

It's the season of the witch, because the entire month of October has become engulfed by Halloween.  And that's just fine with us.  It's also fine with Augusten, because he's a witch.  Or would that be wizard?  Perhaps warlock.  Us mundane types tend to get them confused.

Remember Brad Blanks?  Well he's finally back from whatever he was doing, and he's here to interview Kristyn.  She's a Hollywood mainstay.  She even had the idea for a car with obnoxious sound effects instead of a horn well before Elon Musk did.

There are many bad things in the world.  Pablo Escobar was definitely in the top 100 in his day.  Much further down the list is run-down hotels full of bed bugs and cat urine smell.  Still, that's pretty bad.

We've got a brand new studio, which of course means a bunch of stuff goes wrong.  Not everything though; Tim finally saw The Joker, and wouldn't you know it, it doesn't suck.

Stephy Slays.  Who does Stephy Slay?  I guess you'll have to watch Women of Wrestling this Saturday.  Or should I say Saturslay?  No, that would be over the top, and professional wrestling would never be over the top.

There's no question that sometimes, someone is just too dumb to operate a dangerous piece of machinery.  We see it every day during rush hour, and we also see it every day with weaponry.  Today our example is Amber Guyger, who probably should never have been given a gun. You don't need a trial to figure that part out.  To be safe, let's just return the world to the age when if you wanted to kill y...

Who would know more about technology than the VP of IT for P&G?  Technology and rhyming.  And who would know more about Miles Davis than his nephew?  We tend to attract experts, because we're well known in the jazz/megacorporation scene.

If you're looking for an excessively long movie, look no further than The Irishman.  It'll probably still feel shorter than The Joker considering the month long doomsaying campaign the media has put together about it.  Still, both could be good.  Especially if watched at home.

Ruta is a Thalian.  No, it's not the name of an extraterrestrial species.  It's a 65 year old charity for mental illness.  And yes, I know what you're thinking; they're called Thalians because Thalia was the name of the Greek Muse of comedy.  Little known related fact: Costaki is the Muse of football.  Work on the marble statue is underway.

There are so many networks and movie studios that it's harder than ever for a non-established outfit to attain fame. The solution? Go back to the philosophy "if it's outrageous people will watch it" of yore.  And it seems to be working.  Dolomite is one type of out there, Last Blood is a very different one, and Pennyworth is yet another.

15 years ago, people were making jokes about how bad autocorrect is.  Today, it has somehow gotten no better.  Kind of like comedy.  That's one of many reasons we often compare Jeff to a cutting edge adaptive artificial intelligence programmer.  At least erectile dysfunction technology is improving.  At least that's what the unsolicited emails of unknown origin tell us.

You know what the funniest thing about Iran is?  Nothing, apparently.  It's kind of like America, except in America it's the liberals making life unfunny and in Iran it's the conservatives.  Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned there.  Another lesson: don't mess with the Mafia.  That's not related, it's just good advice.

Longtime listeners may know Jerry as the guy from New Hope who makes food.  Well, he still makes food, but now he does it at Walser.  Why doesn't Doug ever bring ribs?  Even if he didn't make them, they're still ribs.

Halloween is fast approaching, which naturally means vampires, werewolves, and ghosts are going to be all over the place.  Good thing Count Crowley is on the case.  Kind of.  Either way she's - he's? - hunting monsters, so we're all relatively safe.

Tom likes CBD.  You may have heard.  We're going straight to the source today; Giovan runs Nothing But Hemp, potential future supplier of the NFL.  Speaking of suppliers of the NFL, Costaki has a few jokes about Antonio Brown, who's even considered crazy by NFL standards.

It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on TV.  It only really bothers us when it's violence against dogs, so it's usually not a problem until something like A Dog's Journey comes out.  Somehow zombies are funny even though they're technically human.
