The Family Archives

Three movies about toys came out recently.  Somehow all three are spooky even though one is Toy Story.  It's also apparently the best movie ever made, so go see it.  It's certainly a better investment than spending $200 per person watching someone phone it in.

Everyone wants to be part of something.  Sometimes that thing is a homeless compound.  Sometimes it's an internet lynch mob.  And sometimes - just sometimes - it's something that isn't horrible.  Like a member of a comedy audience.

The 80s were a different time.  Car sales techniques were perhaps slightly less scrupulous and definitely less user friendly, Minnesota sports actually had promise, and a new technology called VHS allowed anyone with enough money to make their own home movies.  In retrospect, the last one may have been a mistake. Tom and Doug are joined by Ellie Swenson who started her career as a receptionist and...

Frieda's back, and this time the topic is (informally) narcissists.  Two of them in particular.  One is great at football and getting away with murder.  The other we'll probably find some stuff about in 100 years when the documents are unclassified.

Throw away those bone marrow dentures, because the age of your face being your face has ended.  At least on video.  In person nobody's paying attention anyway.  Too busy being mad at the news.

Every day, every week, even every month is themed now.  This week's theme is men's health, which is appropriate given we just talked about a bunch of men who died before their time.

Apparently June 19th is the day of death, at least for Italians and pygmy possums.  So if you're a middle aged Italian man, get your prostate checked.  If you're a possum, avoid spiders.

San Fransisco is one of those places where every neighborhood is its own thing.  As a whole, it's not great, but you could say the same thing about virtually any city on earth.  The trick is knowing where to go, and to obtain that knowledge you generally have to live there first.  Or you can just ask Jamal.

Soon, politics and race will have no place on the show in the near future.  But what are we supposed to do with the warehouses full of it that we're currently sitting on?  Easy: open the doors and let it stampede.  For the last time.  Promise.

Every generation thinks theirs is the best.  Every generation is wrong, because that's not how it works.  How it does work is that trends come and go and every five years teenagers define themselves around something they'll forget existed once they graduate.  Then there's baseball, which still endures after all these years despite recent hardship thanks to plays like Ron Swoboda's Oriole-slaying c...

People are always looking for one thing to blame all their problems on.  Popular theories include Donald Trump, carbon, and sugar.  Unfortunately, reality is rarely as simple as we'd like.

Everyone sufficiently famous is weird.  From Tracy Morgan to Brian Wilson they've all got something wrong with them.  It's probably not a coincidence that the common thread is almost always lots and lots of drugs.

For the first time in many years, Minnesota has a glimmer of hope in the sports world.  So naturally we start talking about superstition and how if the wrong person shows up their streak will be ruined.  What can we say, we're optimists.

Can birds drift?  Well, yes, but I mean the other kind of drift.  The kind you do when you're being chased by the Yakuza through the streets of 80s Tokyo.  So I guess what we're asking is whether or not birds can fly sideways.  Probably not.

Craig would like you to know two things.  One, he does impressions.  Two, when he does impressions, the people who's impersonating don't manifest physically nearby.  And yes, the reason we're writing this is because some people don't understand these things.

Steven is here from Nothing But Hemp, which is somewhat misleading because they do in fact sell things other than hemp.  They even sell coffee.  And before you ask, no, it isn't weed flavored.  Thank god.

When we have a comedian in from another state, we tend to either talk about their state or our state.  Today is the latter, perhaps because Minnesota is rife with secrets only its denizens know.  Or perhaps because when people come here and don't see snow and polar bears they get confused.
