Have you broken a bone?  If you're half of Americans, you have.  That's a lot of broken bones.  How about this one: have you ever superglued your hand to a basketball court in protest?  It's much rarer than the first thing.  We know of only one instance, but I'm sure it has to have happened at least twice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Hodge podge episode where we talk about physical diseases, Macular degeneration, self-driving cars, Emo Phillips in a Northern Wisconsin casino. In honor of the passing of Gilbert Gottfried, we play some old live KQ Walser sports that nearly ended Doug's radio career.  On the automotive front, we talk about GM and Honda partnering in a sub 30K all electric vehicle, the introduction of the Ford F-150 Lightning and the worlds first trans-gender Traffic report. Never a dull moment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we speak at length on two topics: soda, and the health issues of the Russian-Jewish diaspora.  And no, they're not related.  At least, nobody's proven that they're related yet.  Gelfand's theory involves inbreeding, which unfortunately you cannot diet and exercise your way out of.  You can, however, diet and exercise your way out of obesity, which is a much more widespread issue than having an improperly-shaped family tree.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You probably don't have too many positive associations with the word "cult".  Makes you wonder why people join them, right?  One major issue is that they don't generally advertise themselves as cults.  That wouldn't be good branding.  Although they do their fair share of branding, both literal and figurative.  NXIVM figured out how to incorporate both kinds into their recruiting scheme, and it worked pretty well until the whole prison thing.  Kelly was a member of NXIVM, and no, they didn't tell her they were a cult when she first joined.  It's more insidious than that.  Witness the insidiousness in her own words in her new book, or get a glimpse during this hour's show.

Mark has written 30 books.  You'd think that would leave him with no time to do anything else, but he's also a cook in what qualifies as his spare time.  To be fair, he had some pretty strong motivation: he was born in 1950, and according to the scrolls, food was pretty bad back then.  In many locations, it was bad until about a week ago.  This cannot stand.  Luckily, it doesn't have to.  Mark started a new podcast called Food with Mark Bittman, on Acast.  It's like avast, but with a c.  Or maybe not.  We forgot to ask him how it was pronounced.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They say Disney World is the most magical place on earth.  I guess Disney Land is the second most magical place then.  It might be time to update those monikers, because we're adults now and we have a lot to say.  Things look a little less magical when you're no longer six years old.  Of course, the masks and social distancing and hand sanitizing stations don't help things.  Those weren't around 20-30 years ago.  So look at the bright side: we have the rare opportunity to be objectively correct when we say that something was better when we were kids.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hollywood has been enacting a secret, long term plan over the past decade or so.  They've made every bad movie.  There are none left.  As such, only good ones remain, which means if a movie comes out, it's a guaranteed success.  Now that's big picture thinking.  If you want proof, a couple movies came out recently and they weren't horrible.  For the younger viewers, that may be unprecedented.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kids these days don't know what it's like roughing it growing up.  Why, back in our day, cell phones didn't ignore spam calls for you.  How did we even live?  We had to make do by tricking rappers into going to Alaska.  Also, rotary phones.  It took so long to dial a single phone number that by the time you finished the technology was obsolete, so we had no time to notice how bad things were.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Remember Groucho Marx?  To the younger crowd, that may seem like a ridiculous question.  The man was born in the 1800s.  And yet, he managed to stay active until the 70s.  His career was as long as the human lifespan at the time of his death.  And that's despite all the cigar smoking and inhaling grease paint fumes.  Well, good news: Groucho is alive again.  Metaphorically, of course.  Frank Ferrante has donned the costume and memorized the lines and you can witness this resurrection on DVD at  www.eveningwithgroucho.com/thefilm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone loves yoga mats.  They're fluffy, but also not.  More like squishy.  Whatever they are, they're comfortable.  And when you're a refugee from a war-torn country, they might be a step up from whatever it is you're sleeping on that night, if anything at all.  Hence, Yoga Mats for Ukraine, from Maya of YogaWorks.  New or used, anything helps.  Currently the only drop box is in Santa Monica, but they're looking for volunteers to start new ones anywhere in the country.  Visit them at https://www.yogaworks.com to see how you can help.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
