If you love the environment, it's time to get shorter.  We mean that literally.  Reduce that height.  You'll consume fewer resources and you'll need less energy to move.  It's basic physics.  If that sounds crazy, then you must not be a genius doctor or whatever.  If it doesn't, we have good news.  Most fish is allegedly made of a mystery potion that may or may not stunt your growth, so just get a nice tuna sub and you're well on your way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As our society becomes exponentially more politically correct every day, people become more frequently and easily offended.  Seems paradoxical, doesn't it?  Not if you understand the true cause of offense: perception.  Anyone can be offended by anything if they perceive it the wrong way, and right now people are being taught to always assume the worst.  Carol says it's time to see the world for what it is, not for what you've been trained to see by the constant negativity.  It's time to make objectivity cool again.

Reality TV is popular to watch and even more popular to hate.  Today we'll give you a few more reasons to be part of the second group, and it's not actually related to the TV part at all.  Shockingly, it turns out that as celebrities trend toward being awful, so too do reality stars.  One might get it into their head that celebrity makes people crazy.  Or at least they would have back when the word "crazy" wasn't off limits.  We're broadcasting from the distant past so it's fine for us to say it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you get down to it, Americans don't have a very wide variety of meats to choose from.  Our chicken is always female, our sheep is always young, all meat is muscle tissue, and don't even think about eating a snake.  However, snake is delicious, and Europeans eat organ meat all the time.  We also watch nine movies worth of muscular men driving cars around, so a lot can be said about the American culture right now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why all the hate?  It's a question we've asked several hundred times before, and we'll never stop.  Not ever.  It's a valid question, as long as your definition of "hate" isn't "people responding appropriately to my social media psychopathy".  Or "people who don't like the same football team as me".  You'd be surprised how often that one comes up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nobody wants to go to the hospital.  Even fewer people want to go to the hospital because of something that happened in the hospital.  And yet, it happens all the time.  It happened to Gary Stern.  It happened to several people we know.  Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about it.  Well, we could all become doctors.  Then everyone in the world can treat themselves.  An easy fix.

For a lot of people, 2020 was the worst year in recent memory.  This is especially true for live entertainers.  Feelings are mixed about 2021, but one thing we can say for sure is that leaving your house is making a big comeback.  You just might have a hard time getting anywhere because they can't make any cars.  If you already have a car though, make sure to follow Brian and the band at www.gbleighton.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone wants to be a celebrity.  That is largely because nobody knows what it's like being a public figure.  The second you step in front of a camera, the lunatics start to swarm.  You say something is good, they'll do everything they can do destroy that thing.  You say something is bad, they'll start worshiping it.  It's happened at least once to almost everyone we know in "the biz", including Scott.  Yes, this is leading up to a story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In north Minneapolis born and raised, on the basketball court is where he spent most of his days.  No, we're not talking about Al, we're talking about Tom.  Al was born in Saint Paul.  He was raised partially in north Minneapolis though, and he's not entirely happy with the state of it.  Unlike 99% of people who complain about the state of things though, he's actually doing something about it.  The Al Nolen Foundation is keeping kids off the streets and in basically anywhere else.  The streets are not a good place to be. www.alnolenfoundation.orgSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Weddings are emotional events.  Sometimes that emotion is happiness.  Other times it's rage.  Why this occurs is anyone's guess.  Something about the combination of white wine and cake, probably.  Movies are also emotional, and equally volatile.  Is Hamilton the best thing ever created, or is it unwatchable crap?  Only one of those is a valid opinion.  But we'll never say which one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's never been a better time to be a fan of superheroes.  This statement has been true for the past 50 years.  Will it ever end?  Probably not.  Maybe once we get superheroes in real life.  But even then, there's too much money to be had.  And speaking of money, movies are making money at the box office again.  Not much, but some.  It may take a while before the next billion dollar box office draw, if it ever happens again.  Only time will tell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tragedy is a relative thing.  Some people get grounded, others step on a bomb and lose a leg.  Some people have to wait a whole month to get a Playstation 5, others get sent to concentration camps.  I guess what we're saying is that unless your life is in mortal peril, your problem is fake and you should stop complaining.  That's called "tough love".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

No, it's not the cigar company.  It's Dutch from Carnivore Trading.  No, it's not a company that trades carnivores.  They trade stocks.  We know, it's very confusing.  That's why you trust the people who know what they're doing.  People like Dutch.  Not us.  If you come to us for investment advice you'll most likely end up pretty unhappy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
