Tom and Doug are joined by the wizard of the ST. Paul Saints, Mike Veeck. It's a show all about baseball and a welcome respite from Covid 19. Mike is a 3rd generation baseball owner and regales us with some of the worst failures of his marketing career including but not limited to getting thrown out of pro ball for 10 years after blowing up a pile of disco records at Comisky stadium. He talks about donating Saints marketing funds to local businesses during the crisis. Then we take a trip into baseball history talking about how is father signed both Satchel Paige and Larry Doby (first black player in the American league) to pro contracts. Mike is a great story teller and his skills are on full display here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Entertainment is subject to fads just like fashion.  The sitcom, for example, is no longer in fashion.  Soaps are really not in fashion.  For some reason, dysfunctional families and sad children are super hot, so if you ever want to feel bad, you have your choice of drug.  Or you could watch old movies and marvel at what's changed, as well as what hasn't.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

51 years ago, two women were found dead along the Garden State parkway in New Jersey.  The crime was never solved.  It doesn't help that there was a glut of serial killers at the time, many of whom were geographically connected.  Was it one of them?  Was it a heretofore unknown serial killer?  Or was it just some lunatic?  Maybe it's time to find out.  By reading Christian's book.

There are a lot of crappy hotels.  Really, there are a lot of crappy everything.  Underground wiring.  Neighborhoods.  Entire states.  That's why it's important to update.  It's hard work, but it works.  That's why they call it work.  Well, maybe not.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since the dawn of time, life has been trying to kill other life.  It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the first thing that probably happened in the primordial ooze was lifeform #1 killing lifeform #2.  Since then, little has changed.  We've got war.  Lots of war.  Vietnam was particularly bad.  Even when we're not at war, there's still killing going on, as evidenced by the fact that bodyguards like Evy are so ubiquitous wherever a famous person goes.  It's a topic too complex to cover in the description for an episode of a podcast, so watch his movie and read her book instead.

It is currently illegal, or illegal-adjacent, to go to a movie theater in many states.  So what are you to do if you want to see a movie?  Well, you could always stream it.  That or go to a drive-in.  They're perfect.  Nobody can cough on you when you're in your car.  You can lock all your doors.  It's the only way to live.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom and Doug are joined by Walser's SVP of Minnesota Operations, Charlie Swenson. The show starts out with Charlie talking about some incredibly bad decisions made by teen age boys, learning how to drive a Semi at 90 miles per hour, at night, while his dad takes a nap and growing up in Robbinsdale. Along the way we discuss 'Walser to You' and how a customer-centric business model has allowed some success in these most difficult of times.

Is your computer broken?  Is your book Broken?  Only one of those is a good thing.  For context, Don wrote a book called Broken.  That might clear things up.  No, it's not about a broken computer.  We've already got that topic covered on this show.

Leave it to a Greek to still be gassing on about the Odyssey 2700 years after it came out.  It's like Harry Potter fans but even worse.  You can't be too surprised though; this is probably the single best time in our lives to read epic poetry.  And you won't even make Jeff Bezos richer by doing it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time to become a mailman.  Wait, sorry.  It's time to become a man, not just a male.  If that statement confuses you, perhaps you should read Male vs. Man, Dondré's new book.  Male is bad, man is good.  The fact that we describe animals as "male" but only humans can be a "man" is perhaps related.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You've probably heard of the Hubble Telescope.  It's pretty big.  Literally.  It's also pretty old.  Do you have a single piece of technology in your house that you regularly use that's even close to 30?  Probably not.  And yet, the Hubble remains in constant demand.  Much like the constant demand for fear driven by an increasingly insolvent media.  Mark's here to tell you how to ignore all that garbage.  If he could ignore being shot at as a SEAL for 20 years, you can ignore the TV telling you that you're going to die unless you do what they tell you.  I believe in you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Remember the good old days when you were more likely than not to get shredded by an anti-air battery and die in a fireball?  That might be an exaggeration, but when do we as a species not exaggerate?  Never, that's when.  Still, you may have died in a fireball, which is something almost nobody in the modern day has to worry about.  So think positive.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
