It's gonna be 65, but don't get used to it. This is Minnesota, and that means November is winter. Or at least winter-adjacent. But that's okay. You don't care how cold it is when you're watching the coming onslaught of Christmas movies and messed up thrillers. Why those two seem to correlate I cannot say. Yin and yang, I guess.

On the show:

• The family
• Kristyn Burtt
• Tim Lammers

Topics covered:

• Christmas movies
• In-flight entertainment
• The airplane experience
• Running Man
• Blue Eyed Girl

We talk about how nobody gets along a lot on this show. Too much, some would say. But it is a real problem. Kraig from Braver Angels knows this. That's why his organization gets people together from both sides to have conversations. And yes, it's very sad that simply getting people to talk and not immediately throw a hissy fit is something that requires an organization to achieve, but that's America right now.

On the show:

• Andy
• Kristyn Burtt
• Brittany Hagan
• Mike Bryant
• Kraig Finwall

Topics covered:

• AI-generated products
• Various docu-series and biopics
• Braver Angels
• Conversations across party lines

Stalkers are weird. They're also weirdly common. It seems like every other person has a story of an ex stalking them to some degree. Why do they do it? Perhaps the same reason people think being so famous you can't leave your house is a good idea: some people are just wired different.

On the show:

• Tom
• Andy
• Kristyn Burtt

Topics covered:

• Stalkers
• Dancing with the Stars 20th anniversary
• Tom Bergeron
• Government shutdown
• Trump's $2000 dividend

On the show:

• Tom
• Kathryn
• Andy
• Kristyn Burtt
• Bob Sansevere

Topics covered:

• Veterans day

We didn't set out to make a podcast about health. Things just turned out that way. Maybe it's because everyone is constantly losing and unlosing weight, making sure their mental state is sound, and getting diagnosed with various neurological disorders. Or maybe it's because we're secretly part of the MAHA movement and it's our insidious plot to get you to eat your broccoli. It could be either.

On the show:

• The family
• Kristyn Burtt

Topics covered:

• Emotional wellness
• ADHD/Autism/Dyslexia/Etc.
• Med overprescribing
• Weight loss

Tom is 74 today, which normally would call for cake. Alas, the quest for pound droppage takes priority. But that's okay. You don't need cake to enjoy your birthday. Movies about evil extradimensional entities and tentacle-faced monsters who want to kill you are just as enjoyable. Depending on who you are, of course.

On the show:

• The family
• Kristyn Burtt
• Tim Lammers

Topics covered:

• Tom's birthday
• Favorite birthday cake
• AI
• Predator: Badlands
• IT: Welcome to Derry

Health insurance keeps going up, which is no real surprise because everything has gone up by approximately 5000% since 2020. We just wish it would stop at some point. But you know what's even more expensive than health insurance? Being found liable in a civil suit. So if you have the choice between a tort or a doctor's visit, choose the latter.

On the show:

• Tom
• Kathryn
• Andy
• Kristyn Burtt
• Mike Bryant
• Brittany Hagan

Topics covered:

• Health insurance
• Woman who looks like Howard Stern
• Brittany's theater story
• Mike's many trials
• Marshawn Kneeland apparent suicide

It wasn't a good 24 hours for airplanes. First one blows up in Kentucky, then there was the bomb threat in NYC. Maybe stay grounded for a little while, just to be safe. And while you're down here, why not check out the hundreds of things to do in Minnesota courtesy of Julie Jo Larson?

Andy's back, several pounds lighter. The Twins have a new manager and his record is mediocre at best. Bob's dogs ran away. And to top it all off, how about those taxes?
