Amanda Valdez joins us in studio to talk about a rare disease that affects her son and nephew. If you recall the movie 'Lorenzo's Oil it deals with something called ALD. There is a virtual 5K to raise money for research. For more info, go to xoutald.org.  Along the way we find out that Amanda's son and Tom's grandson are bitter soccer rivals on the mean streets of West Bloomington. We also discover that Amanda works as a parole officer which leads us on a tour of 70's strip clubs in St. Paul, racketeering and the unfortunate end of some of Tom's uncles. Never a dull moment.

Another rare episode where all we talk about is cars. We discuss Biden's pending announcement of toughened CAFE standards, the rush to domestic battery plant building and the change that theTrump administration's China tariffs may have on US construction and a re-alignment of inventory chains. We also note that the NYC auto show is cancelled due to increases in Covid numbers and howthe 4th wave may or may not affect us. Tire Carver calls in to discuss the environmental impact of Lion battery disposal. All and all a pretty serious episode.

Peter Borne joins us in studio to talk about building the only mobile floating recording studio in the world, the halcyon days of working at KQ, recording commercials with Mick Sterling (who also happens to be in studio).  It's a rollicking conversation that covers boating, music, the importance of faith, and KQRS. He also happens to mention recreating famous cars from the 60's such as the bat mobile. The show flies by and we are already making plans for a live broadcast with an audience on the boat. Bring gas money and a towel.
