It's all Jussie all the time. It's understandable, given how everyone but twelve people on earth believe that he's guilty. Maybe he'll be like Al Capone and get busted for something completely unrelated, like mail fraud. The USPS doesn't mess around. You know who does mess around is God, who once promised not to flood the planet ever again. Apparently he can't be trusted. See omnystudio.com/listen...

We talk about movies a lot. We talk about charity less, but still a lot. Today we're talking about both, because the Alamo Draft House is giving free movie tickets to anyone involved in education.

Work and joy don't often go together. It makes sense; work is something you do because you have to, not because you want to. But wanting something is a matter of perspective, and perspective can be changed. Joy might be able to help you with that.

Renee isn't so jolly these days, owing to the fact that her son was expelled after being falsely accused of rape in college. Due process is becoming rarer every day as the court of public opinion gains power. It's time to make a change. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Well it's the Tom Barnard Show, obviously. Also Mary Tyler Moore. And now you can watch a biography of her life, which wasn't as "throw your hat in the air" happy as you probably hoped. At least she didn't have to worry about this whole electoral college thing.

As if Dumbo's life wasn't sad enough, now everyone in the real world hates him too. Well, the critics do anyway. Will he get his happy ending when the audience reviews come in?

The Comics Code Authority sounds cool, but it almost killed Dracula. Wait, wouldn't that be a good thing? Anyway, there was once a time when you couldn't depict anything you want wherever you want. There's something to be said for restraint, but not everything has to be Leave it to Beaver. James Warren agrees.

As a show that relies on technology to propagate, we feel it's our responsibility to let you know that we don't know anything about you and probably never will.  There was a time when that would have been insulting.  Now it's considered benevolent.

Before you listen to this episode, you'll want to get yourself a can of Tab and a pair of drop-proof pants for the full experience.

Just one day before Wilfred published his book on fake hate crimes, there was a high profile fake hate crime. Some might call that suspiciously lucky.

Finland is pretty happy right now. Not for any specific reason. They just are. Steffanie is also pretty happy, mostly because her husband is alive.

Dementia is one of the worst fates that can befall a person.  That's not going to change any time soon, but all it takes to make it a little less bad is being treated a little better.  One thing to avoid is pulling a six shooter on them like a wild west outlaw.  If you're doing that, you're going to want to make some serious life changes. www.alzheimersspeaks.com Wild Bill by Tom Clavin- bit.ly/Wi...

They say power corrupts. They are correct. They also used to say weed would make you crazy. Sounds stupid, but consider this: people are getting crazier and weed is getting more legal.

What encourages laying on the couch all day more than Hollywood? Nothing. Well, one thing. A medical mistake that results in temporary paralysis would do it.

There's almost nothing worse than losing a family member, animal or otherwise.  The few things that are worse have probably been covered by Christof at some point.  Then there's the NFL draft, which is almost as emotional for some people.  Those people lack perspective. http://draftanalyst.com/ https://www.travelchannel.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's little worse than a mass shooting, save perhaps for an even bigger shooting.

We've been talking a lot about scams lately. Here's another one. This time it's a phony psychic. Remember Miss Cleo? It's like that, only much, much bigger. Meanwhile, smoking isn't a scam per se, but it certainly does take your money. Vaping is better about that. And the cancer thing.
