It's been quite some time since Minnesota has had a non-Democrat in its highest office. It's also been quite some time since Minnesota was on an upward trajectory. Coincidence? Perhaps. The party isn't the problem - the politicians are. Vote out the old and let's try something new for a change. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Fresh off our conversation with AJ about Minnesota sports, it's time for Tom and Mike Bryant's take on how things are going. As always, there's too much optimism. Which is to say, any at all. Then Bill drops by to reminisce about that one time Tom was going to retire but didn't. And by "that one time" I mean "one of many times". Learn more about your ad choices.

Tom and Kathryn are flying cross country, which leaves the task of running the show to Alex and Andy. But we had help. Kristyn has proof that the 90s were peak cinema, and AJ's back with the sports update, and also the his own life update. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

When you hear that a storm's coming, what do you feel? Dread? Excitement? Some third thing? Believe it or not, there are those who were disappointed that we didn't get the storm of the century that we were promised yesterday. As long as our power doesn't go out, we don't really care what happens. Can't do a show without electricity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

You probably know by now that Bill Belichick has a girlfriend who is, shall we say, a bit younger than him. But how young is too young? Is a ten year gap a big deal? How about nine years and ten months? That last one is important. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Did you know you can get a home for under 30k? It's true. You just have to live miles and miles from anything in a town with a double digit population. If that sounds like your thing, go and live frugally. If not, maybe you'd like to meet Bill, Kristyn's husband. He doesn't live in a small town either, so you've already got lots in common.

Strokes, molesters, mortality, and all that fun stuff. When it happens in your back yard you've gotta talk about it. Maybe not for the entire show though. That's why Debra and Shawn came in. Well, okay, we then talked about people getting hacked and scammed for a while, but it led to a positive topic. It's about the destination, not the journey. That's how the saying goes, right?

It's a full crew today, with the whole family plus a total of four guests. And out of all of us, only two have ever met Vanna White. That's how you know the universe is unfair. But to balance it out, only one of us had to endure a Jello shot. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Being a pope isn't easy. First off, you have to be 140 years old, so at the very least your knees are going to be hurting the entire time. Then there's the whole "speaking for an entire religion" thing. That's a lot of pressure. If you really want to change the world, why not just move to Minnesota and become a career criminal? Nothing bad will happen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Pope has died after a long illness. At least he made it through one more Easter. As did every parent who spent the day cooking, painting eggs, and telling their kid that no, you can't eat the whole chocolate bunny at once. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ever been in a sensory deprivation tank? How about Minnesota's famous anechoic chamber? Or space? Turns out there's a lot of ways to shut out the world and be alone with your thoughts, if that's what you're into. If not, go see Jake and be alone with his thoughts instead.

The Twins are roaring into 4th place. And by 4th place I mean 4th from the worst. But hey, it's better than 3rd, right? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Gene Hackman story continues to get stranger. Hoarding, rats, endless pill bottles. This sounds like a job for a psychiatrist. Or perhaps Kristyn. Jesse's got other things to worry about, like the entire standup comedy industry. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Rats are gross. Mice are also gross, but in a very different way. Don't let their similar appearance fool you: rats in the house and mice in the house carry very different connotations. But talking about either of them is more pleasant than talking about the Twins. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Rory McIlroy just finished a Grand Slam. I don't see what the big deal is. I've eaten plenty of them. Regardless, apparently it's important now that he's done it. What's also important is that Katy Perry and a bunch of other women went into space for about ten minutes. I bet I could do that too, if I wanted. Getting back to Earth, maybe not, but that's not the part people care about anyway. Learn more about your ad choices. V...

We're in the era of the kidfluencer, which sounds fun but apparently isn't. Not that abusing children for profit is anything new; first it was the mines, then it was chimneys, now it's TikTok. That's why everyone over the age of 60 has a back problem. All that mining they did as kids. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

If you haven't seen the latest episode of 1923, you might want to hold off on this episode. We also spoil what happens to people who take steroids their whole lives. Talk about a bad ending. And speaking of bad endings, that "prison" place sounds rather unpleasant. Makes you wonder why so many people keep going there. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

If you ever order something, keep an eye on that tracking information. You never know when it might enter a portal into purgatory. At that point, you should probably call someone. You should also call someone if you find a Yorkie that's been on the lam for five years. What you shouldn't do is micromanage your LDL. Live healthy and stop worrying so much.

It was the year 2012. "Tesla" meant some weirdo who did crazy stuff with electricity. Wait, that's still what it means. It also meant people on social media almost killed themselves for clicks. Oh, that's still happening too. Okay, I guess basically nothing has changed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

All this celebrity death has gotten us thinking: when's the last time you went to the doctor? For Bob, there was no more putting it off, which is why he joined us a solid 20 minutes into his appointment time. But it's okay, because doctors are never on time. Learn more about your ad choices.
