The Complete Disaster Podcast

Yesterday we talked about smoking, Fleetwood Mac, and moon missions. Today it's gas breaching $5 a gallon and Super Mario Galaxy. It's another blast from the past episode. I swear we don't do this on purpose.

Topics:

Gas is expensive

Left-handedness

Blake Lively's sexual harassment suit

Baldness

Super Mario Galaxy

Love Story

Something Very Bad is Going to Happen

Humans haven't passed the Van Allen radiation belt in over 50 years. In a few days, that changes. But that's just boring old space travel. The real news is that Passolt can still do his Burnsie impression on command.

Topics:

Judges letting predators off easy

Artemis II launch

Kristyn's 2028 Olympics ticket

Smoking is cool again

KQ glory days

Tom and Kathryn were at Mar-a-Lago last night. What's it like in there? Gaudy? Yes, gaudy. We also have Ben Simon, owner of Shed and Fence on. Our listeners had a surprising volume of fence-related questions for him. Maybe if he sells enough fences he can afford one of those $20,000,000 condos in West Palm Beach. But that's a lot of fences.

Bob's got a new project: interviewing Tom. Every Tuesday, he'll be asking questions and fielding some from the audience. The ultimate goal is to compile a book's worth of answers. How long that'll take, who knows? Probably less time than it'll take to finish Grey's Anatomy.

Topics:

Death & Life of Lamar Odom

Grey's Anatomy is still going

Bob's first interview with tom

Tiger Woods rolled his car again. Was he under the influence, or is he just a really bad driver? We can't say for sure, but we can certainly infer. We can also pine for the good old days of terrible local television. It wasn't all terrible, but in West Palm Beach there was a period where the overall quality was...lacking.

Colin's first word

Cuba

Tiger Woods car accident

School life

Our new dream job is to be the guy who has to eat all the food on a yacht before it goes bad, then buy more food. Then do it again. Forever. If that's not available, being an albino squirrel seems like a pretty good gig. You get Facebook pages made for you and everything.

It's a show of contrasts, and also of cities. Tom likes West Palm Beach. Kristyn likes NYC. Jay likes Duluth. Only one of those places has a book called 100 Things to Do in Duluth Before You Die written about it. Can you guess which one?

Duluth

She's been on film sets across the country. She's been partially in the space shuttle. She's even been to the Pompano Beach dump. This is the life one leads as a casting director. And now that Sora is winding down and Disney isn't putting a billion dollars into replacing actors with AI, it would appear the position is safe. Everybody wins.

Sora AI being shut down

Ellen's career

Jude survived his surgery yesterday, and as a bonus Kathryn got to keep the bladder stones. Apparently they're not as gross as you'd imagine. You probably don't want any, regardless, so remember to keep your diet low in whatever causes them. Rocks, probably. Stop eating rocks.

Topics:

Jude's surgery

Too many Taylor Sheridan shows

Real possum found in store

Baby animal stories

Louie Anderson's birthday

On Friday, Tom announced his Alzheimer's. Since then, we've gotten approximately one billion comments. Maybe slightly fewer. We read and appreciate all of them - the ones that are nice anyway. But you know what isn't nice? Outliving your friends. Today we also remember Philip Wise and Dave Waggoner, whose deaths we learned about in the past couple of days. We also touch on the Jessie Pierce house fire. All in all, not a good week.
