Would you go to a lawyer whose name is "Conn"?  It's rather close to a different word that may perhaps have some negative associations.  If you're the type who would choose to avoid him, you just won yourself a double-edged sword.  Eric Conn liked to give away money.  Odds are he'd have gotten you a bunch of social security money you didn't deserve.  The flip side to this is that he was hunted down by the US government and put in prison, as one might expect to happen after defrauding the government. “The Big Conn” series and podcast will make their global debut May 6 on Apple TV+ and Apple Podcasts, respectively.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Skin-walkers aren't a good thing.  They're not quite as gross as they sound, however.  They're basically just witches who can turn into animals.  Animals are cute, right?  Not so much when they hex you with black magic.  That can't be fun.  Well if you want to maybe get hexed yourself, why not visit Skinwalker Ranch?  Other potential encounters include UFOs, paranormal activity, and Mark Marinaccio.  All of those qualify as once in a lifetime events, by the way. New season of "Secrets at Skinwalker Ranch" on The History Channel, premiered May 3rdSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Remember right after the Oscars when we said that people are going to start attacking people on stage in order to generate publicity?  It's started.  Someone tackled Dave Chappelle with a knife.  Somehow the assailant didn't manage to actually hurt anyone, unless you count himself.  His right arm may never be the same.  Still, Chappelle could have died on that stage, which is getting people wondering if private security is going to be mandatory at shows of this nature in the near future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's mother's day this Sunday.  If this is news to you, it may be time to get moving.  After all, it's a day about etiquette.  Or rather, it used to be.  Maybe it's time to bring politeness back.  It's "cool" to be rude for some reason, but honestly, it's been like 40 years of that.  It's passé now.  Old news.  If you want to be part of something new, try being likeable. www.theogetiquetteexpert.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the first time in our nation's history, apparently, there's been a leak about an upcoming supreme court ruling.  That's not a good thing.  The ruling itself hints at overturning Roe vs Wade, which means bad times ahead no matter who you are.  And just in time for midterm campaigning.  What interesting timing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scratch that.  Tom is never going to retire.  For some reason he's convinced he'll die if he does.  Even if it's a bit of an overreaction, it still makes him more introspective than the kind of person who thinks banging on a stranger's back door at 2 AM is a "prank".  That really could get you killed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now that Tom is 70, he's sure the end is near.  This despite having no real evidence.  Maybe it's metaphorical: he has to retire at some point, right?  Our longer term listeners may remember his retirement announcement nearly fifteen years ago, but things are different now: now woke corporatism is the norm.  It'll drive off anyone.  It may have even driven off Liz.  We can neither confirm nor deny this, but we can confirm that Alpha News is your source for Minnesota news that the rest of the outlets won't cover.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While we normally have lots of fun on Car Selling Secrets, from time to time we get serious. Pam Mason reached out to tell the story of her 19 year old son who was severely injured when a motorist in a 2011-2014 Acura TSX ran a red light, striking her son in the crosswalk. We're looking for ideas of how to find this car and hoping that someone knows something.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You've all heard of Kansas.  It's the state under Nebraska.  It's also arguably less famous than the band named after it.  Perhaps this is because the state of Kansas was never headed by John Elefante, whereas the band was.  That was nearly four decades ago, but it wasn't the end.  In fact, he just put out an album six days ago.  That's about as recent as it gets.  Even more recent was the crew learning that Tom wasn't going to be here.  In fact, it happened immediately before we started recording.  As a complete coincidence, Tim happens to be a huge fan and ends up saving the day.

Dogs are man's best friend.  But are they baby's best friend?  That depends largely on the dog.  Some dogs are protective, some dogs are nurturing, some dogs are apprehensive.  You'll want to clamp down on that last one.  Carol will give you some tips on how to do so, at least in between stories about Jude acting weird.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People often marvel at the resilience of the human body.  Those people have never experienced altitude sickness.  The act of standing on top of a hill can practically kill you.  It's not all bad though.  You can be the ghost that haunts Altitude Sickness Hill.  People would come from across the globe to see you.  Or measure your presence with an EMF meter.  Close enough.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dancing is just harmless fun, right?  Wrong.  Dancing will put you in a nursing home at the age of 30.  Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration.  Still, it's not normal to need a hip replacement in your 20s, which is what you get when you regularly stretch your legs at a 180 degree angle.  Unless you're a genetic freak like Jean-Claude Van Damme, that kind of thing should seem like a pretty obviously bad idea when you first try it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The world is ending.  We're all going to die.  To be more specific, right wing people are potentially going to be allowed to say whatever they want on Twitter.  But that's basically the same thing, at least if you ask the average Twitter user.  We'll all remember where we were when people started disagreeing with us on the internet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nobody's watching the USFL.  Oh, let me explain.  The USFL is a new football league trying to compete with the NFL.  And just like the way you didn't know it existed, neither does anyone else.  Or they do and just don't care.  The real question is, why would they?  It's the NFL except the talent isn't as good.  And with the XFL allegedly on the horizon, they won't be able to get the extreme football market on lockdown either.  Only time will tell if they can carve out a niche.  With every comedian dying lately, maybe they can become the world's first comedy football league.  Think about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
