It's a veritable cornucopia of talent today, special for the holiday season.  Regulars aside, you also have Howard, better known to listeners as Tire Carver, as well as Pat Ebertz of KQ fame.  And get this: we actually talk about cars for a whole half hour.  Specifically, race cars.  Maybe Doug should get into the market of selling vehicles that aren't street legal next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Quick, name three 2022 blockbusters.  Harder than it sounds, isn't it?  The movie industry continues to struggle to make anything anyone cares about, while the TV industry is apparently in another golden age.  There's never been a better time to sit at home and do nothing.  Especially since every investment out there is apparently a Ponzi scheme now.  I guess there's also never been a better time to commit wire fraud.  Disclaimer: please don't commit wire fraud.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Get ready for some controversy, because Liz is back and she's written a book claiming that the literal media firestorm surrounding the death of George Floyd is clouded with lies and manipulation.  Definitely don't get caught reading this one in Minneapolis.  You also don't want to be caught being a Vikings fan lately, because - just as the prophets foretold - they suck now.  Will they continue to suck, or will they pull off their first ever double twist and become good again just in time for the playoffs?  Hey, miracles happen sometimes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we talk about George Carlin.  But not just George Carlin.  Because while Jerry has plenty of stories of having Carlin as a friend, he has even more about the music and entertainment business.  You may have heard that the music industry has a lot of weirdos in it.  Well, you heard right.  If you wish to stay on topic, go watch George Carlin's American Dream on HBO.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Long time fans of the KQ morning show probably remember some of the more classic bits.  Cash call, for example - although that technically wasn't a bit.  It turns out Tiffany is as big a fan as anyone and grew up listening to the same audio as the rest of us.  It also turns out she has some big news, but you'll have to listen to find out what that is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Christmas Story is one of those movies that everyone remembers fondly and seems to unite the generations.  It was made almost 40 years ago, so it's the perfect bridge between the Boomer, Gen X, and Millennial generations.  It's also, after all this time, gotten a sequel: A Christmas Story Christmas.  Shot in the original house and everything, right?  No, not even close.  Today we learned a surprising fact about the movie that makes you more cultured than you realize.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Twists can be tough to do.  When they're good, people will be talking about your movie for decades.  When they're not so good, they basically ruin the entire thing.  M Night Shyamalan is the undisputed king of both types of twist.  And speaking of kings, here's the opposite of a twist: Tim and Tom are both still watching Tulsa King.  Can you believe it? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's scarier than nuclear fission?  Actually, a lot of stuff.  But for some reason, we've been conditioned to be afraid of it.  Everything is going to be another Chernobyl.  Robert is a professor of philosophy, so naturally, he asks "why"?  Unfortunately for him, we aren't also philosophers, so the best we can do is say that people are stupid.  Hey, we're not wrong.  Then, Alex inadvertently asks what is apparently the world's hardest Vikings trivia question.  Drop a reply on Facebook or Twitter if you knew what she was talking about before we figured it out, because nobody else in the room did.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike McVay opens the show with the tale of his Corvair Spyder, which sets the tone of the show: things from the 60s.  Remember typewriters?  The kind that required you to have fingers strong enough to bend steel?  It's no wonder so many people opted to just stick with pen and paper for so long.  Or it could be because all the White Castle crumbs kept jamming up the keys.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you wanna walk the walk, you gotta talk the talk.  In this case, "walk the walk" means get a job, and "talk the talk" means...what it sounds like.  Talk yourself up.  It's called schmoozing, and it's an art as ancient as humanity itself.  That's why Cody wrote Schmooze: What They Should Teach at Harvard Business School, which could be seen as the diplomatic partner to Sun Tsu's The Art of War.  Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it really is an important skill.  Without it, this podcast never would have existed.  What a horrifying thought.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've been not particularly happy with Disney's behavior over the past two years, you're not the only one.  That may be why they ousted Chapek after just under 1000 days and brought back Iger.  Or maybe they just couldn't handle the "Paycheck" joke any more.  It seems like eschewing the young is happening all over the place.  Angela Alvarez just won the Latin Grammy for new artist at the age of 95.  And let's not even talk about the age of our most recent presidents.  The whole world is telling kids to get off its lawn.  And really, who can blame it?  Damn kids.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's episode two two two two, which is perfect because today's episode is all about the two party system.  It's bad.  You may have heard that before.  But depending on who you ask, one party is a lot less bad than the other.  Sid and Mike Bryant are both not shy about which party they think that is.  Thing is, they might not agree on the party.  Hijinks, naturally, ensue.

Jason, GM of Walser Nissan Coon Rapids, comes in to talk cars.  What he didn't know is that we can't stay on topic for more than about five minutes.  To our credit, we did manage to talk about the new Ariya.  Also nitrogen.  It's a car thing, I swear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
