Tom and Doug are joined in studio by Sarah Sprinthall and Colton Ray. Sarah starts out with her Francis McDormand influenced story about her 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage. Then we get down to brass tacks and talk about how Walser is dealing with the Corona virus outbreak. Colton Ray, Walser Automotive Marketing Director, talks about their brand new service, “Walser to you” which allows customers to purchase vehicle from the comfort of their homes. When Andy and Melissa discover it also includes free service pickup, we book our first two “Walser to you” service appointments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're raising hell, in a good way.  The musical way that used to be a lot more common in the 70s and 80s.  Metal never dies, though it does calm down from time to time.  That's when you learn the history of the genre, from the music to the lifestyle.  Jon will be your guide.

Stocks are down, but nobody can buy them because nobody's working.  Might be time to sell that expensive watch collection.  Or spend your stimulus check on it now that you've got a lifetime supply of toilet paper, which is apparently all a person needs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scottsdale, Arizona.  Home of Muhammad Ali, Charles Barkley, Mike Tyson, and the Cactus League.  You haven't heard of that last one yet because nobody wrote a book about them.  Until now.  It's the perfect time to get some reading in, too.

Not everyone is reacting to the virus with fear.  John's throwing a 60th birthday party and everyone's invited.  He's done pretty well for himself with his gung ho attitude, so why stop now?  You've got about two weeks to make it to Holden, Louisiana, and with the airlines desperate to fill seats, now's the perfect time for the fearless traveler to fearlessly travel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The new normal is mass hysteria, quarantines, and blame shifting.  Which is pretty much just the old normal with more staying at home.  You know you won't get the virus from home media - like, say, podcasting - so you can breach social distancing all you want.  Movie theaters are less optimisticSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All sports everywhere are canceled.  Sorry.  You're going to have to get your entertainment elsewhere.  Like in Kate's book, which while it was written by a sports commentator - or sports princess, depending on who you ask - is not about sports.  At least not entirely.  You could also watch Babies, a show Libby is featured on, because she apparently does everything.  How many people do you know who are Associate Professors and x-ray the bones of babies who died thousands of years ago?  Probably not many. https://dealyourowndestiny.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three is the magic number of drama.  You've got musketeers, stooges, amigos, and now Christs.  It's not a guaranteed recipe for success; it helps if the entire world isn't too afraid of going to the theater to actually see your movie.  Golden age for streaming though.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We do our first ever live remote from the Twin Cities auto show. Doug is joined at the show by Mary Velline, who is in charge of the show, and Walser General Managers Brycen Eberwien from Subaru; Andy Swanson from Hyundai; Jason Loechler from Coon Rapids Nissan and David Berwald from Burnsville Mazda. We actually spend most of the show talking about product (for a change) with some fun stories thrown in on the side. Join us next week when John Kriesel will be our guest. John barely survived an IED attack while serving in the Minnesota National Guard in Iraq and then served in the Minnesota Legislature before launching a career as an author and motivational speaker. It should be really interesting as John even has his own Wiki page.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People assume that once a family has money, it always has money.  This is overwhelmingly not the case.  It takes a lot more than simple hoarding to ensure that the wealth doesn't vanish within a couple generations.  Most of it can be found in Dennis' book, which is virtually guaranteed to be in stock because it's not hand sanitizer.

You know what they say about getting hooked on drugs.  Don't do it.  You've all heard the scary stories in DARE or whatever.  Now hear a less scary, but still off-putting, story from Nik.  It might not work on people who think staying inside for an entire year sounds nice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Modern society goes to extreme lengths to try and prevent anyone from ever feeling uncomfortable.  Shockingly, the result is that many people have a psychotic break when forced to leave their comfort zone.  Who'd have thought?  Jason, that's who.  As a Green Beret he's familiar with discomfort, which he says made him stronger.  That's pretty impressive, given how strong he had to have been to begin with.

Put out your cigarette, because it's coronavirus time.  Specifically, it's time to stop panicking.  Dr. Hotze says that unless you're already sick, you'll be fine.  Yes, smoking counts.  Wash your hands, take your vitamins, and say your prayers, brother.  That last step is optional.

Health is a tricky thing.  Every illness requires a certain cure, and if you're already healthy, taking medicine might make you worse.  Something called "sex dust" probably doesn't count as medicine, so we can't speak for that.  Cocaine, however, actually is medicine.  You don't use it like that though.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Right on the heels of Negativity Monday, we have Positivity Monday featuring John Tesh.  He's made about a thousand albums.  He's a famous radio host.  He's beaten cancer.  While everyone else is looking down, he's looking up, something he attributes largely to hard work.  It's not a very popular message at the moment, but those willing to hear it tend to do pretty well.

There are no synonyms for "negativity" that start with an M.  Just another disappointment in in today's world of nothing but bad things happening.  At least, if you pay attention to the news.  If you ignore it and instead go to Disney World, things are a little better.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
