The Complete Disaster Podcast

The Thursday night sitcom was a staple for decades. Then everything changed when streaming took over. Kristyn is optimistic; she believes we might be going back to a simpler time. And given the glut of nostalgic shows, that seems to be what everyone wants right now. Minus the fat jokes.

Topics:

Jamie Lee Curtis's new show, Newlyweds

Thursday night sticoms

Tracey Gold fat jokes on Growing Pains

Matthew McConaughey's bee sting

Guillermo Rodriguez might be a rising star

Juliette isn't the first Francis we've had on our show, although she is married to one of them. We'll let you guess which. What we won't let you guess is how to help fight Alzheimer's, because that shouldn't be left to chance. Juliette is the new executive director of the Alzheimer's Association of Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana. She's also, like Dan, raising funds for the Alzheimer's Association. Dan is biking, Juliette is walking. Now all we need is the sea and the sky covered and Alzheimer's won't have a chance. I think Sun Tzu wrote about that.

John David wrote The Bystander, which is ironic because at the end of the show, he himself becomes a bystander. Hey, we never claimed to be a tightly-run ship. That's why we're not buying any property on Palm Beach island. Well, one of many reasons. Oh yeah, remember how we kept talking about death in the previous segment? The Bystander is about someone who catches a mass shooting being thwarted by a good guy with a gun...but not all is as it seems. More murder and more mystery. How perfect. Oh yeah, and Nick Swardson dropped by.

Today we're all about various deaths. Murder/suicides, regular murders, the slow death of radio, it doesn't matter. As long as something is expiring. It's not all negative though; we got clued into a nice segment on Vinnie Tortorich's podcast that has since gone to Jude's head.

Topics:

Howard Stern laying off 50 people

Radio and local TV are on the decline

Hopkins home daycare murder/suicide

The Rockford Files are coming back

Friday the 13th is getting a prequel

Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talked about us

In 2020, Teri and her husband got on a tandem bike in Oregon and got off in Washington DC. Well, they got on and off a few times between the two, but you know what I mean. It was a 3102 mile journey, and most impressively, they didn't get hit by a single car. They came pretty close one time, though.

The lowest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL make just over a million a year. People say that's cheap. Personally, if I ever made a million a year I'd consider myself to have had it made, but life is different in the world of sports. Especially if you're the commissioner of something. Especially especially if you're the commissioner of football.

What did you do this weekend? We'll tell you all about what we did, because Kristyn is gone. Don't worry, we still got some minor entertainment news in. Also we're talking about the Savannah Bananas again. I guess that's a thing now.

Topics:

(Most of) the family saw Minions and Monsters

The Savannah Bananas are selling out stadiums

Tom hangs out with Nick Swardson

Ethan's accidental pumpkin patch

Jack joins us, but the audio is terrible. What else is new? So instead we watch a QVC gaffe video to pass the time. Once Jack returns with functioning electronics, it's straight into tales of Minnesota radio in the 80s, 90s, and today. Maybe not so much today.

One Night Only is basically The Purge, but for premarital sex. Sounds pretty stupid, right? Well that's not the movie Tim hated. That honor goes to Ice Cream Man. And once he explains it, you might not blame him.

Ali G is still around, apparently

The entertainment industry is currently laser focused on Perez Hilton, who streamed himself cutting himself until he was drenched in his own blood. We highly encourage you to not seek it out. In lighter news, did you know that Zubaz still exist? And that taking your shirt off at the library is frowned upon? You probably did know that one.
