If you're looking for someone to tell you how tough life can be, a millionaire head of state should be pretty far down your list.

We come from the land of the ice and snow, so we all like hockey. It's the reason Minnesota and Canada are so chummy.

There's been a murder. Don't worry; it happened 40 years ago. The bad news is the guy was never caught, and as far as we know he never stopped. That's why Gloria, along with Investigation Discovery, is collecting evidence. Meanwhile, the internet is angry that Melania bought red trees. Very important stuff.

For whatever reason, it's very difficult to treat chronic pain without major side effects.  We haven't so much made the side effects better as we have given people a wider range of side effects to choose from.  For those who can't abide by the other stuff, it seems cannabis may be the final frontier.  Or at least, the best frontier.

If you're like the vast majority of our listeners, you're seeing less and less of the sun. That means less vitamin D. Lucky for you, you can take a pill to make up for it. You can't take a pill to cure sociopathy, which is a real problem given how easy it is to lie and manipulate via social media. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You can sail the seven seas, but a pirate's life is not for ye these days unless you want to move to Africa. It's also not as glorious as the movies make it look.

If you're a big shot like Tom, you get to know a lot of strange people.

Hey Alexa, bring up my nanny's criminal record.

As you may have heard repeatedly over the past 15 years, brick and mortar stores are dying.  Another thing we've heard repeatedly is how all life on earth is soon to come to an end due to whatever people are willing to believe at the time.  Somehow neither have happened yet, but this time we've definitely got the future locked down.  Surely.

The western world seems to have a grudge against all things masculine, but that wasn't always the case.
