If there's one thing all four of us have in common (aside from our genes) it's that we're all married. We like to consider ourselves happily married, even. Still, every relationship has its troubles. Why not erase your baggage before it becomes a problem rather than after? And we're not talking about pawning the kids off on Grandma and Grandpa. Well, I guess we are talking about that a little. And your kids being out of the house is the perfect time to listen to some AI-generated football jokes read by Costaki. Not because they're dirty or anything, but because you don't want your kids growing up thinking this is what "humor" is.

In the days of yore, a rivalry was formed. C.J., also known as Cheryl Johnson, was a Star Tribune columnist who frequently covered Tom's exploits in a less than favorable light. This led to them clashing on the regular...until today. And by "today" I mean over ten years ago. On his (at the time) new podcast, Tom and C.J. buried the hatchet once and for all.

There's a podcast out there called The Parents Lounge. And while we're all parents and we like to lounge, that podcast isn't this one. Sometimes the two meet, though, such as today when Jason called in. As such, we have all the bases covered. It all starts with kids, then cars, then stocks, then the cops take you to prison for insider trading. The prison part may not apply to everyone.

Life's full of changes. You start off playing basketball against athletes three times your size, you end up what exactly the doctor is doing to your bladder. You buy a house for 3.9 million, you sell it for 125. Maybe you've never done any of these things exactly, but you get the idea. That's why we aim to be an unmoving beacon in the storm. A point of stability in a chaotic world. Just ignore the 300 times we've changed our schedule, show length, lineup, and name. Those don't count.

Somehow, we managed to go nearly two years without having Dr. Huber on the show. We were afraid of catching COVID over the phone, you see. While our fears might be somewhat ridiculous, there are millions of people out there with more grounded problems, and many of them are children. Kids don't do well with social isolation, constantly being told the world is going to end, and having to worry about a plague. Weird, I know.

There's one thing keeping us all from taking our dream vacation: lack of teleportation technology. Luckily, in the magical world of hypotheticals, there's no such thing as airfare, travel time, or needing enough free time for the trip to actually be worth it. Come live in this magical realm with us as we travel to Japan, Japan, Japan, and Scandinavia. And Japan.

Anxiety is a normal part of life. It can help you process and it can stop you from making a bad decision. It can also be a very abnormal part of life. As they say, the dose makes the poison. This is especially common among first responders, veterans, and other people in extremely high stress occupations. While there are resources out there for those people, they're not all necessarily high quality or available. That's why Russ created the Invisible Wounds Project specifically for them and their families.

There are many reasons to run. It's a great way to lose weight. It puts distance between you and your demons. And for Alexi, it makes you an Olympic athlete. It also indirectly made her an author. The book is called Bravey - no, not Bravery - and it's about chasing dreams and befriending pain. Hey, there's another thing running can do: catch up to your dreams.

In 2010, Futurama came back from the dead after being cancelled. A couple years later, Billy West, who voices like half the cast, was on our show. Now, in the futuristic year 2023, Futurama has been resurrected once again. What better time to relive a past when Futurama had only ended once?

Here in America we've never had official royalty. It's kind of our thing. Yet despite the fact that our ancestors sailed the ocean blue and fought a war to get away from them, we can't get enough of the British royal family. Or can we? Support has dwindled over the years and shows no signs of stopping. It's currently at 55%, which means in a few short years they'll be out of majority favor for the first time since the Anglos met the Saxons. Given how much of our media is still about them, it really makes you wonder how bad it must have been a hundred years ago. Luckily we can just ask the average senator, because they'd remember.
