Have you ever wanted a burger, but didn't want it to be a real burger?  Well have I got news for you.  We're currently in a fake hamburger renaissance, apparently.  You can get a patty made out of fake meat, or beans, or quinoa, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.  Maybe you and your pet bison can become brand ambassadors for the latest burger-shaped substance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you think about famous people, you probably think about overdosing on drugs.  I mean, them overdosing on drugs.  Though you couldn't be blamed for wanting to end it all when you hear about the latest celebrity "news".  Anyway, there's a reason the connection between celebrities and drugs is so universal.  Harry Milman has gone through several celebrity deaths to investigate the strange circumstances behind them.  Of the ones he looked at, 70% of them involved drugs.  That's a lot.  He's not one to pontificate on why so many famous people seem to be drug addicts.  This is about what happened, not why.  Although the answer to that question isn't always obvious either.   Forensics: The Science Behind the Deaths of Famous PeopleBook 1: amzn.to/3oLEsZXBook 2: amzn.to/3cVNOiZSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Humanity loves to make mountains out of molehills.  Whether it's the latest disease with an animal's name in it, nuclear meltdowns, or witches, there's always something to pretend is going to come get you.  That's not to say there are real dangers out there.  Like overly graphic scenes in TV shows and movies.  That'll scar you for life.  Just say "no" to anything with a harder rating than G.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mickey's Diner, a long-standing Saint Paul institution, is in dire straits.  The property has been sold and the future of the business is in question.  Rumor has it they were too late to the celery game, because apparently everyone is obsessed with the most boring plant in existence now.  Or maybe the problem was people listening to podcasters talk about the various substances you might find in a public pool and losing their appetites.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The last of something is always interesting.  The last of the Mohicans.  The last dragon.  The last samurai.  Maybe not that last one.  How about the last Jewish gangster?  No, it's not David.  Although David is a Jewish name, and he did wrestle a bear.  That sounds like something a gangster would do.  The subject of this book is Michael Hardy, godson of Bugsy Seigel and committer of various crimes both petty and whatever the opposite of petty is.  Grand, I guess.

Pest control is important.  Otherwise you get raccoons eating your trash, turkeys taking over your yard, and professional athletes saying $44 million a year isn't enough.  You have to stay on top of these things.  If you have a professional athlete problem, the best thing you can do is turn off the TV and stop buying tickets.  It may seem cruel, but if you ignore the problem you'll end up with tons of them, and then they'll all starve to death come winter.  And by "starve to death" I mean "retire at the age of 25".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you think about someone fighting back against an attacker, you probably don't think of a 16 year old girl.  That's part of the reason said girls do need to learn to fight back.  Can't be an easy target.  Dana decided at a young age that self-defense was the way to go, and she encourages all women to do the same.  Once you've learned how to defend yourself, you can learn another skill from the rest of us: the ability to hate all politicians.  That one takes years to master.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Americans are some of the least-taxed people in the first world.  And yet, it's still too much.  It's your money.  You worked for it.  Why shouldn't you keep it?  Well, there are ways to make that happen.  The reason you pay taxes is because the government wants the fruits of your labor.  But if you labor with the government, they're already benefiting, right?  Hence, tax breaks.

We're trying out a new format for the podcast.  One long episode rather than two medium-sized ones.  Same amount of content, just no break in between.  Let us know what you think on Twitter.  Or don't.  We hate Twitter.  We use it, but we also hate it.  And speaking of depressing things, there seems to be a trend lately where America puts out TV shows about murder and death while England makes comedies.  I guess that's why they call it Jolly Old England.  They were probably thinking about TV when they started using that phrase hundreds of years ago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
