We're gonna win, Twins.  Just not every time.  We're still #1 in our league, and it'll probably stay that way forever.  Probably.  We're trying to stay positive.  It's a Lifescale thing.

Nobody wants things foisted on them.  Certain kinds of pictures.  Unqualified cops.  The rapid decline of a major metropolitan area.  Unfortunately we live in a world of foisting.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who investigates the investigator?  Dahlia.  She's not investigating anyone in particular.  It's more of a thematic thing.  Also, what's the deal with these politicians? L.A.

You know what's stupid?  Trying to rename a lake without actually going through proper channels.  You know what else is stupid?  Pretty much everything else.  Including pets.  But they don't know any better.

Celebrities are well known for being mentally ill narcissists.  It's why we love them, apparently.  Sometimes, however, the crazy goes past quirky and into scary territory.  You know, like Jim Carrey, Charlie Sheen, and Lindsay Lohan.  Charlize is very close to that line.

Kids like alliteration.  What they don't like is reading, at least as long as someone else can do it for them.  As a children's author, Tracey is aware of both of these things.  Hence the Chestnut Challenge.  And speaking of alliteration, here's some for you: Rich Coachella urchins are exchanging itchy chin patches.  Gross.

Darrell is a Midwest institution, between playing college football in Minnesota, being drafted by the Green Bay Packers, and being born in Saint Louis.  Yes, Missouri is part of the midwest.  His latest venture is Bolder Options, a mentoring program that even includes a gala. bolderoptions.org/2019gala See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here at The Family we're all about nature.  Usually from afar.  Today is no exception, namely because illness thwarted a rare attempt to visit a national park.  But that's okay, because Becky has a book to keep us occupied until all this disease clears out of the air.

They say the world will end not with a bang, but with a whimper.  The same kind of holds true for the latest Avengers series; three hours isn't exactly a bang.  More like a loud rumbling.  Still, it apparently doesn't suck.  Can you believe it?

Certain very orthodox sects of Christianity believe that casually speaking God's name is blasphemy.  There must be a lot of thoroughly religious politicians on Twitter, based on how many of them follow that rule.

Have you ever seen those greek tragedy/comedy masks?  Did you know that those masks were inspired by Anthony's life?  I assume so anyway.  He's a comedian who lost a three year old daughter, so he's certainly qualified to wear them both.

You're not supposed to put all your eggs in one basket, unless it's Easter.  Then you win.  You win the eggs you picked up.  It's supposed to teach children the harsh reality of being a rabbit.  Or maybe it's just something for kids to do.  The symbolism behind the holiday isn't entirely clear.

There are many mysterious - some might call them strange - figures in American history.  Prince.  Dennis Rodman.  LBJ.  And only in comedy is it remotely possible to connect the three.

Is Bigfoot really a monster?  He doesn't hurt anyone.  He just likes to walk around.  Regardless, Erin is in search of him and other cryptozoological wonders.  El Chapo, ironically, is in fact a monster even though he's human.  Jack was in search of him until he caught him and put him in jail.  This time for good, hopefully.

The Mueller report is out, but even more. Or something. Reactions range from denial to denial. Which flavor of denial depends on whether or not they voted for Trump. Either way, it's much less exciting than people were hoping and everyone is disappointed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Leon is one of those people who went through what most psychologists would call "contributing factors" when testifying at a criminal trial.  Then he went through it again, several times.  Instead of becoming a criminal, he became a 32 year Navy veteran.  And here we are just making a podcast.  Our excuse is that we have daddy issues, much like the character in Amara's movie.  Well, some of us.   B...

Everything is horrible. Except for Jeff Allen. And Ricky Nelson. Jeff has an advantage on Ricky due to still being alive, and he leverages that advantage by doing comedy.

Cory, unlike Tom, is not a centrist.  What he is is not a radical, which is like 90% of the way there right now.  We don't know Randall's political views because he's too busy pillaging pieces of eight from dead pirates.  He didn't kill them though.  Time did.
