Stephen Colbert is out, as you may have heard. You know who's not out? Everyone in the world, including a pack of dogs. I speak of course about our studio. Six voices, three dogs, and two kids out in the lobby. Probably some mice in the walls too for good measure.

Connie Francis died recently at the age of 81. But that's not the only Francis we're missing today. Jimmy was on the calendar, but alas, his life is so fancy free that he thought today was Friday. Mike Bryant made up for it with his knowledge of legal formulas though. Do you know how to calculate damages? We sure don't.

If you're in the Midwest you've probably noticed a lot of trees being cut down lately. Those are most likely all ash trees, and they're infected with the emerald ash borer. Cutting them down is one way to stop it. But it's not the only way. Kenny will fill you in. And while we're at it, AK will fill you in on how to get along with your fellow Minnesotan despite having major political differences.

TV is supposedly still great, which is why it's strange that we're talking about shows from 20 years ago. Also kid's shows, but those don't get quite the same recognition. Even modern shows are probably better than what Mae did the other day though.

Tom and Kathryn are back from their visit to a tiny fishing village in Cornwall. It was more exciting than it sounds. It was also apparently a great workout. That's why English people have such famously chiseled physiques.

It was 2012. A presidential election was on the horizon. A lot of people were very mad at the idea that someone they don't like might win and political discourse was at an all-time low because of it. Thank god that's all over, right?

Hey, remember Gangnam Style? The only reason I ask is because Steve is half Korean. And because this was 2012, when that song was still literally everywhere. Also, sorry we reminded you of it.

Children can be annoying sometimes. That's why you're always fighting the temptation to give em the ol' one two. That is, spanking and ice cream. But that's frowned upon in more enlightened, more lactose intolerant cultures.

Long time listeners of Tom's might remember a simpler time when he didn't tell the Rodney Dangerfield "stick to the tumbling" joke. That all changed thanks to Jeff, and we'll never forgive him for it. That's why he hasn't been invited to any of our house parties lately. That and because apparently Tom spends a grand total of fifteen minutes actually attending them.

Hot off the tails of an episode about not smoking weed in the Netherlands, here comes an episode about yes smoking weed in America. Don't worry, though. It's medicinal. As if anyone cares now or cared back then.

Tom Rhodes is big in the Netherlands. Not literally. You'd have to be like seven feet tall to be considered big there. But he is popular. And he knows better than to visit the Red Light District because it's bad for your honor, or whatever. I guess Dutch people are kind of like Klingons.

Cooper Barnes is arguably most famous for playing Captain Man in the Henry Danger franchise. But before that, he was playing the role of guest on our show. He was also on In Living Color that year, so it was a great year for him. Chuck Gallagher may not be an actor, but he is a changed man. In the 90s, he made some, let's say, questionable decisions. He now spends his time motivating others to not make questionable decisio...

Chris is, or at least hosts, The Watchdog on Wall Street. What were the dogs watching back in 2012? The government making making money off prescriptions. Because nothing ever really changes. And speaking of nothing changing, Clayton was on for his book My Brother Ron, which is about mental illness and institutionalization. I bet you can guess what Tom talked about with him.

It was a Monday when Robert called in about infiltrating a cartel and Dr. Rose discussed people with broken minds who do awful things. It was a heavy way to start a week. That's why I'm releasing this one on a Saturday, when the week is over. That's right, I did it on purpose. I'm definitely not just capitalizing on happenstance.

July 5th, 2030 is going to be a day to remember. According to "the government", that's the day Tom's going to die. If you think that sounds ominous, that's because it does. But it's also most likely something Tom misread, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. What I would worry about is making time to go see Trevor tonight and tomorrow night at 8 PM at Acme. Buy a spatula while you're there.

In Boston, they tell it like it is. In Minnesota, we tell it like it isn't. Each of us guard a door, and behind one of the doors is priceless treasure. Behind the other, a violent sex offender who we sent to prison for 15 minutes. Choose wisely.

Carver county had four confirmed tornados touch down over the weekend. Everyone knew about it. Well, almost everyone. Luckily there wasn't too much damage. Not as much as Bezos did to his own reputation with his ostentatious wedding, anyway.

What's your opinion on cruises? You other love them or hate them. After today's show, you'll probably hate them. But that's okay, because there's plenty to do. Why not go watch one of the three good movies? Or listen to Ross on SKOR North? Assuming you have time after your daily listening party of our podcast, of course.

In 2019, Landen Hoffmann was thrown off the third floor balcony in the Mall of America. Kari attributes his survival to a miracle. Unsurprisingly, we talk a lot about religion the rest of the episode. Also local media, considering both Tom and Neal are local media mainstays and Kari had plenty of experiences with them.

Remember the ice bucket challenge? Well it's back. It took a while to make enough ice. Sage decided to dump a bucket of it on himself, and we've got the audio. We also discuss every TV show and movie ever made going back to the 1950s.
