Mobsters kill people and celebrities shun monogamy. Both of those things are basically laws of the universe. Still, sometimes when those people are doing the things they always do they do it in strange or remarkable ways, like Chester Wheeler Campbell or Scotty Bowers.

There's nothing Gelfand knows better than disease. It's just that medical research tends to take place before noon. It's a shame, because Lyme needs all the research it can get. You may not be a Gelfand, but you can still help by donating to the Twin Cities Lyme Foundation. Lyme, not Lyme's. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We learned a new term today: gig worker. Apparently a lot of gig workers are a little sue-happy right now. Technically MS-13 members count, but they probably shouldn't try to sue their gang.

College students think they know everything when in reality they know almost nothing. It's been the way of things since the first graduating class in ten million BC or whatever. Maybe we should stop listening to them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's the man show.  Not literally, because that's copyrighted.  We are, however, talking about what it means to be a man, why society seems to be anti-man, and football.  Because that's a man thing too.

There's a certain charm to unrehearsed, unedited entertainment. You know, like this podcast. Chris has a show with a similar ethos. What he doesn't have is a last name he likes.

There are two surefire ways to make yourself difficult to understand. One is to drink too much. The other is to be from somewhere weird like Tangier or Minnesota.

Lots of people like baseball, but not everyone can play baseball. That's why MLB players make so much money. Then there are people with disabilities who can't play at all without help; that's what the Miracle League is for. Another group that needs help are the Tangier islanders whose island is dissolving. Sounds exotic, but it's in Virginia. If you want to go there you'd better do it soon. See om...

Cystic fibrosis is no fun. It was a lot less fun in the past, what with the premature death and all. Medical research has made quite the impact, and if any of our listeners have 6 billion dollars to spare you can apparently cure it entirely. Plus it's tax deductible. Another bad way to die is being smote by Osiris, though that's pretty unlikely. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

The secret has finally been revealed: Steve Perry was live and in studio at KQ, and now he's recorded and on the internet here.  This is the whole uncut interview, so you might hear some things there wasn't enough time to keep.  Or not.  We don't work at KQ so we don't know what they do.

The KQ Morning Show has been around awhile. Over the year it's changed a few times, including the mysterious disappearance of Stretch. Turns out he's been in our new podcast building this whole time by coincidence. It's been rumored that his autograph is the most valuable of all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kids can be a little antsy. Sometimes there's no reason, sometimes there is. Either way, there are things you can do. Those things are in Laurie's book. When it comes to calming down kids, it's as much technique as information. And speaking of calm, we have a special guest at the end of this hour who basically defines cool and collected.

Is the yes man partially to blame for how crazy celebrities get? Yes, man. That's why Tom personally fires anyone who agrees with him too much. War is also a common reason for going insane, and the Korean war is no exception. You might not have heard as much about it as the other 20th century wars, but it still affected millions.

Cancer's sweeping through the best and the brightest, because the world is a cruel place.

There are three types of impression: the type where you pretend to be someone else, the type where you give your opinion, and some art thing. Frank is a master of the first and an acolyte of the second, which in modern parlance mostly means staying off Twitter. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're going back to school, at least in spirit.
