For the longest time, comedy and music went hand in hand.  Some of the most legendary entertainers of the modern era alternated between singing and riffing.  Todd seeks to keep that dying bond alive.  It helps that unlike 90% of people he doesn't immediately dismiss anything that wasn't on the radio when he was 16.

We learned a very important lesson today courtesy of Leonard: people don't like it when you imply their mom slept around.  We had no idea.  We also didn't know that wearing dozens of Village People-esque outfits could be such a big deal.  Is it so wrong to want to go to the YMCA?

There are two kinds of body work you'll probably have to do a lot of in your life.  The first is fixing your car's chassis, which Darren can take care of.  The second is not eating donut sandwiches.  At least try to keep them down to once a year.  The only person who can help you there is yourself. Tom and Doug are joined in studio by Darren Heairet. Darren is a partner with the Walsers in 6 colli...

Every era has its problems.  Today it's all about race, the environment, and left vs right.  700 years ago the only problem anyone had was where to bury their mystic runestones.  Also war, famine, and plague, but those aren't as interesting as a real life Da Vinci Code so Scott went with the runestones.

The entire west coast has always been something of a self-parody.  Well now it's a third person parody.  More specifically Matt is parodying Silicon Valley, the place that's so ridiculous many people think it's made up.  And as far as we know it is.  We've never actually seen this so-called valley.

Minnesotans hate insects that bite.  I mean, so does everyone, but we have a special relationship with them.  One such insect is the tick, which carries a wide variety of diseases and is just gross.  So where did they come from?  Like most things bad, the answer begins with very powerful people who want other very powerful people dead.

Some guys just have all the luck.  Steven is one of them in that he has all the good luck and the bad luck.  He's been a medical mystery his whole life, and apparently he's good at solving mysteries because he's beaten every case.  Well Bryan has a few cases that could use some attention because they have the potential to end human life as we know it.  The good news is it'll probably be a while.

Don't watch Hex (2018), because it's bad. Hex (2017) sounds like it could be good.  It's harder to find information on Hex (2014) and Hex (2015) given their status as short films, but Hex (2019) looks promising.  Oh, and don't confuse Hex (2018) with HeX (2018), because they're different.  And for those wondering, no, I did not make any of those up.

Get happy.  Or die!  Eventually.  Stress is bad for you, happiness is good.  So maybe we shouldn't have gone straight into talking about how we're all diseased and hate our football team.

Children are awful.  Usually.  I hear they can be nice sometimes, but today is not the day for those stories.  And speaking of awful children, the Vikings haven't been doing so hot lately, possibly because the refs hate them.  Possibly.

Are you over a certain age?  Have you had a colonoscopy recently?  Dr. Slagle recommends scheduling one as soon as possible.  Or do the box thing.  He also recommends not watching SNL if you're over 20, because statistically you won't like it.

Today's topics include the mob, the pope, and Boston.  Can you guess Rocky's ancestry?  Maybe not, given that the show is hosted by Tom, and he talks about those things all the time.

Kathy Barth is the Zone Manager for Mazda NA, which means she's privy to technology humankind is not yet meant to possess.  At least, that's what it sounds like.  She wouldn't tell us any of her top secret information.  We did learn what deleting emissions means, which is something nobody in the room had ever heard of.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to living in a megalopolis.  One is that it's convenient and there's a lot to do.  The other is that it's not worth the murder and air that's corrosive to your corneas.  Both arguments have their merits.

War is still hell.  There have been no changes on that front in the past hour.  Jeff experienced pretty much the worst of it save losing a limb and he came out the other side, but not everyone does.  And not everyone who doesn't make it dies on the field.

It's that time of year again.  No, not Christmas.  More like the opposite.  Dana and Wes are pretty familiar with the issues at hand behind 9/11 and the Middle East, given they spent some time there getting shot at by ISIS.

Fake news isn't new.  Ongoing, yes, but not new.  Take Shakespeare for example.  We don't even know his real identity for certain because people were politically motivated to lie about him as far back as the 16h century.  That's why it's easier to just read books about motherhood.  It's very easy to tell whether or not you're a mother.

Cities.  They're basically big communities, right?  Wrong.  They are the opposite.  Which is a shame, because people who've lived in actual communities tend to speak highly of them.  On the other hand, the same can be said for pretty much every British TV show ever made, and some of us just don't get it.

What's the best thing about football season?  Making fun of football, of course.  It's one of few things you're allowed to dislike.  Except the Vikings.  Go Vikes.

Talking about how humans smell is usually - almost always - a gross conversation.  Well, Lume is a deodorant company, so it's inevitable.  And if we're gonna go half gross, why not go all the way?  Take a whore's bath, ausfahrt your bathroom, and rest your weenus for an hour or two.

Foreign and unusual names are hard to pronounce.  That's a given.  But nobody ever thinks about the other side: names that are hard to understand.  Which is all of them.  It's BARnard, not BERnard.

Every so often, humanity goes from not wanting to be defined by a label to insisting that you label them and back again.  We're currently in the label phase, which is generally not a great thing.  It's great for marketers though, since what you watch seems to depend almost entirely on your race and gender.  Including Lev, because apparently his audience is mostly women.
