Today's Best Of, we go back to Ricky Gervais cause he's that damn good. He should host everything, everywhere at anytime. Viewership would sky rocket! Some people can absorb all this excitment.

Kendall Qualls joins us in studio to talk about growing up poor in Harlem and climbing to corporate success. We talk about higher ed funding, innovative high school programs and the destruction of the family as a consequence of 60's legislation. Turns out he's also a car guy with a soft spot for MGBs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tom is an official pitcher for the Twins now, so naturally we have to talk up the stadium.  It's good for business.  That's how baseball players like Tom make so much money.  We got a few calls from adoring fans, of course.  We also got a call from Abby, who wanted to talk about her acting career instead, probably because she grew up in Tennessee so she's not a Twins fan.  See her in Secret Headquarters on Paramount+ now and Boys of Summer later this year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom's throwing out the first pitch of the Twins game tonight, and he made sure not to practice at all.  How that ends up for him remains to be seen.  They say you never lose that muscle memory, unlike losing the nostalgia of going to the theater.  We've said it before, but it bears repeating: movies are bad now.  TV, on the other hand, is apparently great.  As long as you know where to look, anyway.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Susie has had some ups and downs.  Losing everything to a wildfire, that's a down.  Becoming a movie star is an up.  You see what I mean.  Two days ago she added another movie, Love In Bloom, to her portfolio.  It's on Great American Family, which is fitting because we ourselves are a great American family.  Depending on who you ask, of course.  Others might use different words. And speaking of families, Heather is one of the people spearheading a study called 10,000 families, which aims to collect information from - fittingly - 10,000 Minnesota families to try and determine if any lifestyle or environmental differences between the two might give us more insight into the way they impact health.  Medical science still has a long way to go.  Most doctors denied the link between cigarettes and lung cancer as late as the 70s.  So make sure to participate in the study and maybe you can prevent your children from doing some harmful thing that you did back when we didn't know it was harmful.See omnystudio.com/listen

Since about the year 0, faith leaders have searched for a way to make Jesus seem cool to teenagers.  Trying to mix Christianity and cutting edge pop culture trends often doesn't go well.  Evangelical rap is a great example of a catastrophic culture clash.  Robyn is the star of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, which is a Christian movie, but it doesn't try too hard to be cool, so it's actually good.  Watch it on Pureflix at www.pureflix.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Uncharted is out, and it's good for what it is.  But haven't we seen this before?  Explosions, impossible acts of physical strength, a long string of unfortunate circumstances that the heroes barely survive?  Hey, if that's what you like, it's what you like, and by the looks of it you'll never run out of movies to watch.  There's never been a better time to become unable to walk in your 20s because you ruined your joints doing ballet.  Think of all the TV watching you could do.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Football season is about to begin, and you know what that means: enormous fines for repeat criminal behavior.  Yes, Costaki has run afoul of the law again.  Wait, that wasn't Costaki, it was Deshaun Watson.  And he only got fined five million dollars.  Hey, it's "only" when you make 46 million a year.  The man makes forty times what you'll make in a lifetime in a year throwing a football.  Speaking of deeply unpleasant things, we also continue our annual tradition of reading the top 10 Fringe Festival jokes.  Making fun of them turned out to be funnier than the actual jokes themselves.  Maybe that's the point.  Maybe it's meta.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a paradox in America right now.  Every boss can't find employees, and every unemployed person can't find a job.  Clearly, there's an issue somewhere in the hiring process.  Gene has identified at least one of them: bad resumés but not Ray Scott. Basketball players that listened to the coach. That coach was Ray Scott.  He's still got his finger on the pulse of the game, so he can tell you just how different things really were. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dracula is one of the most enduring characters in the horror genre, and for good reason.  Before him, most monsters were powerful yet not particularly intelligent.  A giant lion is scary, sure, but you can always outsmart it.  Not so with Dracula. I don't think he was EVER called a sissy until today with Landyn Banx. You know how "bad" used to mean "good"?  It's kind of like that. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It seems like every day, there's a new crisis.  In a country of over 300 million people, this is to be expected.  Bad news for people who have trouble with threat assessment.  Good news for people who have a podcast about the latest crisis.  Yes, I'm going somewhere with this.  Roshini has just such a podcast: The Crisis Files, where the Crisis Squad takes on the issue of the day. LINK: soundcloud.com/thecrisisfiles Then, Giovanni Ruscitti joins to talk about his trip to Italy to rediscover his heritage with his parents who immigrated here from the Abruzzo region after experiencing the brunt of World War 2 firsthand.  Unsurprisingly, there was a bit of culture shock going from Colorado to the streets of Italy where you can still see the damage from the war and poverty.  As sad as it is, it can make you thankful for things that you do have, such as a town that was never occupied by a hostile invading force.   Cobblestones, Conversations, and Corks: A Son's Discovery of His Italian Heritage - amzn.to/3C9AqlSSee

Hollywood is always patting themselves on the back for being on the forefront of everything.  All good in the world, they are responsible for.  This coming from the people who brought you Battlefield Earth.  Their credibility is suspect, to say the least.  Kristyn, on the other hand, is a very credible babysitter apparently.  Also entertainment reporter, but babysitter first.  It's a more fun job.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ask any older parent and they'll tell you that the childhood years will be over before you know it.  Ask a younger parent and time has slowed to a crawl.  Hence, "Long Days, Short Years".  Andy Bomback is not only an author and parent, he's a doctor as well, which means he has to juggle a scientific mind with the behavior of a small child, who you could argue behave the opposite of scientifically.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
