The Complete Disaster Podcast

The Twins are doing okay. But it's still early. You don't need cataract surgery to see a pattern in recent years: we start out strong, then we tank. Will this year be different? Statistically, it will not. But you never know.

Everyone on the show is always watching things. Everyone except one person. Well that all changes today. Naturally, he's breaking his streak of not watching things by watching slightly stale rom coms starring Miranda Cosgrove. Also Hoppers. That's relatively new, right?

Divorce is all the rage these days, but not in our studio. At least, not yet. You never know what the future might hold. That's true about comedy itself, too. 20 years ago, social media had virtually no impact on a comedian's success. Now it's what makes or breaks you.

So far this year, the big movies have all been for kids. Mario. Toy Story. Now Minions & Monsters. So what of Supergirl? We don't talk about Supergirl. Metaphorically, I mean. We literally did talk about Supergirl.

Tomorrow is the 250th anniversary of America, which is a pretty big deal. It's no 200, but not all of us got to experience that one. Here's to 300, right? And speaking of things that are sure to last 300 years, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting married today. If you want, you can sit there and watch a live stream of their guests arriving. Exciting stuff. Not as exciting as eating 70ish hot dogs in ten minutes though. Oh, sorry, did I say exciting? I meant disgusting.

And yes, "overmorrow" is a word. It means "the day after tomorrow". Neat, huh?

Steve used to be a wildlife biologist. He has a PhD in it, in fact. But a few years ago, he felt the need for a change. So he took the retirement buyout, got remarried, and moved to Germany. Personally, I think that's a bit too much change all at once, but it's been working out for him, so who am I to judge?

Homeschooling is tough. It's a lot of time, energy, and sometimes money. But with certain kids it just makes sense.

Actually, it's not really the heights I'm afraid of so much as the falling. But you can't have one without the other. And speaking of falling, Supergirl has not been doing well. Probably because people only have room for one superhero movie at a time at the moment. Just like how they have room for zero national news outlets. We'll see if the NBCUniversal split fixes that. I'm guessing it will not.

Brad was a CEO and attorney for almost twenty years. Lucrative, yes, but not creatively fulfilling. That's why he wrote Recoil of Justice, a book about a lawyer turned possible vigilante. It's not a an autobiography, I promise.

The Buffalo Rodeo (that's a rodeo in Buffalo, MN, not a rodeo consisting entirely of buffalo) came and went. Bob gives the scoop on how it went. He also wishcasts Minnesota teams winning titles. We'll see how that pans out.
