Hawaii.  Sandy beaches.  Coconuts.  Longhorns.  Cowboys.  Wait, really?  Yes really.  Turns out when you put a herd of 10,000 grass-eating behemoths on an island made of sand and rock, they start to misbehave.

Not every story out of Minneapolis is a bad one.  It still started bad, of course, but it ended mad.  Mad Dads, that is.  They do what Minneapolis police aren't allowed to do.

When you think "gigantic python", you probably also wonder who you can call to have it taken as far away as possible.  That person is Dusty.  It should be noted that he only kills pythons that eat things they're not supposed to.  He's like the Judge Dredd of snakes.

Our society is in trouble.  You've probably been hearing that every day for the past 50 years.  This time we actually have proof, though - skyrocketing homeless populations, drugs, and violent crime that nobody will do anything about have rendered many major cities unlivable unless you don't mind paying $3000 a month to rent a studio apartment you use to rest off your stab wounds.

Have you heard Tom talk about how much he hates political correctness before?  Probably not, right?  Well it's not Frieda's favorite thing either.  And speaking of not liking things, many Vietnam vets didn't love the experience of being shot at in a foreign jungle.  No word on Stephen's attitude toward dengue fever, but it's probably not positive.

Apparently Val Kilmer had some bad surgery lately, because he's not Val Kilmer any more.  We can't figure out who he is.  Perhaps he had a horrible kickball accident.

We're halfway between Aladdin and the next movie anyone cares about, and what better time for a bunch of giants to cure diabetes?  That sounds like fiction, but it isn't.

Your spine is rather important.  Your brain, even moreso.  So if your spine starts leaking, that's not a good thing.  It's also very difficult to get a diagnosis for myriad reasons, hence Leak Week.  It started today, by the way.

Drugs are bad.  Parts of St. Louis are also bad.  The two may intermingle to some degree.  You know what isn't bad?  Nate.  He's never even been shot, which is why he and Jay-Bee get along.  Probably.

We're all for electric cars and hybrids.  It just seems like one certain kind of hybrid has a certain kind of driver.  Regardless, no matter what you drive these days the environment will care a lot less than it used to, and things are only getting better.  But still, buy a Bolt.  Bad name, good car.

What happened to Ashley and Lauria?  The "I" is silent, just like any witnesses.  And speaking of prison, a surprising number of people in studio have visited friends there.

Water puts out fire.  Rain is water.  So as you might imagine, firefighters in the rainiest city in the country often don't have a lot to do.  I mean, they do, but this is TV so we're making some concessions.

Can a cat be a spy?  Can a bat be a bomb?  Can a human be a chimpanzee?  The answer to all these questions is "kind of, possibly".  You'll see. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The PGA Championship is over and Brooks Koepka is the new champ, or as the average person calls it, the new Tiger Woods.  Will he become the new face of golf?  Maybe if he changes his name to be spelled phonetically.

Wrigley.  First a man, then a gum, then a field.  Now it's a book by Kevin Cook, whose name also is many things.  It's a profession, a hobby, and even a captain.  Perhaps there's some relation.

Ten thousand years will give you such a kink in the neck.  27 years will give you a remake.  200 packets of cocaine will give you an early death no matter how you ingest them.  You'd think that last one would be pretty obvious.  Evidently, it is not.

We tried our best to tie Myq's presence in with another coincidence, but unfortunately he's a week early for Jerusalem Day and a day late for Lag BaOmer.  Isn't that always the way?  Stay tuned to see what we have in store for next week's Ascension of Jesus Day, whatever that is.

It's Ramadan, which is completely unrelated to Ali being in studio.  It's also not really a coincidence because we barely talk about it.  And get this: he's not even a sultan.  He's a viscount.  Nothing is as it seems.

We're a show of many faiths.  They're all branches of Christianity, but to be fair there are more of those than there are people.  We're not, however, Navy SEALs.  To say we're all unqualified would be a major understatement.

We talk about how bad Minneapolis has gotten a lot, but it's actually been pretty bad for quite a while.  It comes and goes.  The upside is that it makes for some great stories for the survivors to tell.

There's nothing Tom likes more than a college dropout.  It's just one of many positive attributes of John's.  He was also exiled from Canada, which may or may not be a good thing depending on who you ask.

They say prohibition doesn't work.  That's why Minneapolis has recently decided that making crime illegal is a waste of time.  Or maybe it's because they're lazy and/or in denial.  Either way we're sure that things will turn out fine.  I mean, there's only so much crime a city can fit in a day, right?
