A wild episode where we talk about Josh Donaldson, the history of the Jewish neighborhoods on the north side and the world record setting sale of a very rare Mercedes. Mike classes up the place by reading a little Yeats and we finish with the dearth of Presidential candidates for the 2022 election.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jamie's a regular at this point, which makes sense because his comedy comes from children, who are an infinite source of surrealism and non-sequitur.  You know how most comedians aren't funny any more?  It's because they don't know where to look.  They also didn't have to go through trials by fire where they have to follow stories about death and destruction.  It builds character.

The "let's all get along" train continues unabated as Damon and Stephen talk about their experiences growing up in the wide world of sports.  Sports has always had racial undercurrents, especially right now, but there was a brief time when people actually cared more about the game than identity politics.  Maybe we should extend that attitude from the locker room to society at large.  Turn the country itself into a locker room.  The metaphor doesn't work very well in a short blurb about a podcast episode.  Listen instead.  They describe it better.

The Minnesotans among our audience (AKA basically all of them) may have noticed things haven't been so good lately.  Record murders, record carjackings, and various other unsavory records have been broken just in the past few years.  And in true midwest fashion, the response has been to go about business as usual hope the problem goes away on its own.  It's not going to.  Jai's here to tell you, and he's also here to change that.  Hennepin County Sheriff is a tough job, but Jai seems to have the tough attitude necessary.  If he starts wearing sunglasses and spouting badass one-liners, we'll know for sure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Comedy seems to go through cycles.  First, comedians will try to be as shocking and offensive as possible in a bid to push the boundaries or whatever.  Then people get sick of shock humor and start gravitating toward cleaner, smarter comedy.  Then they have children who think that clean comedy is for old people and the cycle continues.  Maybe it's because we're old, but shock humor just doesn't do it for us these days.  Aaron is, shall we say, somewhat younger than the rest of us, and he's all about the clean comedy.  Does this mean the cycle is broken?  Has humanity's curse been lifted?  Probably not.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Streaming went from the next big thing to the thing we're all sick of in record time.  Don't get us wrong, it still beats cable, but when you need 17 services to watch everything you want, it's really not much better.  So now that we all hate it, what's next?  We think Laserdisc will be coming back.  What's more futuristic than lasers?  You can also use them as serving platters, making them multifunctional.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens if you're been married multiple times and you all go to heaven?  Do you stay married to the most recent one?  Do you become a polygamist?  Imagine having to spend eternity arguing about who's the favorite spouse.  Perhaps that's why they discouraged multiple marriages for so long: preventative measures for when you finally meet the afterlife.  It's a legitimate concern.  Unlike, say, who gets to play with a balloon animal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

George Carlin has been gone for 14 years already.  Depending on who you are, your reaction will range from "has it been that long already?" to "who's George Carlin?".  14 years is long enough for someone to have been born and grown into a teenager, after all.  Of course, some would argue that allowing your child to grow up without hearing about George Carlin qualifies as a form of child abuse.  Good news for all the new parents out there: it's never been easier to teach the next generation about the life of Carlin.  George Carlin's American Dream is on HBO Max, thanks to his daughter Kelly, and will take you through his mythos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joking about the midwest with comedian Charlie Berens. For example, if you've lived here long enough, you're going to hit or almost hit a deer with your car.  That's not a joke, it's just the way it goes. Then John Thibault explains 150 year old statutes that were clearly put in there as a joke continue to exist to this day? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Musicians can be mysterious, to put it lightly.  Rock musicians especially so.  The fact that the golden age of rock was very pre-internet doesn't help.  That didn't stop Jim, who took it upon himself to un-shroud several oddities in the world of rock and roll.  For example, what was the connection between Charles Manson and The Beach Boys?  There was one, as strange as that is to say.  How about the thwarted CIA assassination of Bob Marley?  Allegedly, of course.

Brad Blanks is back in studio after a long hiatus, and he's a billionaire now.  That is, he will be once his NFTs are worth $500 million each.  It could happen.  If a bunch of paint randomly splattered on a canvas can be worth $20 million, anything can be worth anything.  Just ask Madonna.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When's the worst time to get tased?  That might sound like a joke question, but it actually has a very specific answer.  Give up?  The answer is when you're covered in gasoline.  Yes, that happened recently.  No, it didn't end well.  There's something that'll burn you even worse though: eating McDonald's.  It's the kind of burn that happens from the inside.  Very unpleasant.  Probably not as lethal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First there was radio.  Then video came and killed that.  Then streaming killed video.  It's looking like streaming may have just about overstayed its welcome, but who killed it?  The answer is nothing.  It's kind of like superhero movies: by the time the thousandth one comes out, nobody cares any more.  You probably can't even name all the streaming services offered by your Roku or Amazon Fire Stick or whatever you have.  That's called a glut, and there's a reason that word sounds so gross.  It's not a good thing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom Cruise is a bit of a polarizing figure.  You could call him eccentric, if you wanted to be polite.  You could also call him dedicated.  Most actors won't even stand up without a stunt double doing it for them, but Cruise is attaching himself to cargo planes and plummeting from the stratosphere.  Hey, if someone offered to pay me $50,000,000 to base jump from space, I'd probably take it too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a fairly severe baby formula shortage right now.  People aren't too happy about it.  They're even less happy when out of touch millionaires tell them that it's not a big deal.  There's strong evidence that Marie Antoinette never actually said "let them eat cake", and this is about as close as you're going to get, so it might be time to update the phrase and its attribution.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
