The Complete Disaster Podcast

They're the latest craze, apparently: blue light traps for catching bugs. Because everyone hates bugs. And speaking of flying things that annoy you, UFOs are back in the public eye yet again. Apparently Trump is going to declassify it all. Anything to distract from the real issue at hand: Hollywood won't stop making sequels. Please, stop.

Olympics wolfdog gets loose

Prince Andrew has been arrested for vague nonsense. Whether the real stuff will come to light, we can't say. But if it does, odds are he'll never again visit Minnesota and sample our wonderful cuisine. And that's terrible. Almost as terrible as the fact that we can't safely put our snowblowers away until June.

Michele and Ralph both return after a long absence. Ralph is retired and is enjoying doing whatever he wants. Michele is the opposite of retired, choosing to vie for a senate seat here in Minnesota. Personally, I'd take the French cafes over attempting to talk sense into Minnesota, but someone's got to do it.

Members of congress make $174,000 a year. That's pretty good, right? Wait until you hear how much their stipend is for trips to the Capitol. It'll drive you to bring your state into the top 10 territories in the world for alcohol consumption. Assuming it isn't there already. Which it probably is.

Hollywood is largely uneventful as everyone watches the Olympics instead. If you like movies and don't like watching athletes be athletic, what's left? Gambling? We can't recommend it. Yo-J? They don't make it any more. If you've got kids or grandkids, you have plenty of entertainment there. And of course, there's always podcasts.

Astonishingly, we managed not to bring up Epstein today. Instead, we focused on the inexorable passage of time and how everything you thought was new and cool is actually old. Then again, all that old stuff is being remade, so you're still correct. It's a very positive show today. Thank god.

This episode's a doozy. We've got talk of Epstein, musicians having inappropriate relationships, Kid Rock vs. Bad Bunny, billionaire taxes, the decline of education. We even say something positive about Mississippi. It's crazy. But what's even crazier is allowing your heating bill to skyrocket due to lack of insulation in your house. Stay warm, people.

Vinnie's back, and he's still crusading against obesity. It's a topic relevant to basically everyone, whether they themselves are obese or they're directly related to someone who is. Hence his success. Of course, you don't become a successful weight loss guru without results. Why not become a part of those results? We won't charge you for the hour.

Are you sick of hearing about football? Then you're in luck, because Costaki has been once again banished for seven months. And if you weren't, well the season is over anyway. But you know what's never, ever over? The Epstein files. Someone should really start talking about those.

Well, it happened. The Seahawks won, and in the process proved that the Vikings' biggest problem is that they don't know how to build a team. They also saved us from another year of smug Patriots gloating, so we can't be too mad. Especially after watching the Puppy Bowl.
