The other is to be from somewhere weird like Tangier or Minnesota.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
