As gambling becomes easier and more accessible, so does cheating. It's just a fact of life. Players are losing millions to tables equipped with x-ray machines and opponents with bionic eyes. On the other side, apparently you can have your entire skeleton shattered and still play if that's what you want. Or more accurately, if that's what your coach wants.

You've got one more week until Halloween, which means seven days of horror and horror-adjacent media. Then November hits and it's all over. And that's a shame, because on top of decades of mandatory classics, you need to watch new stuff too. They should really think about extending the season a week or two into November.

Crash and Burn is here for the 14th year in a row, which makes it only slightly older than our own show. Back then, people were less into watching shows about psychotic murderers or sex traffickers. It was a much more optimistic time. It could be argued we need comedy now more than then, so go check it out lest you too fall into the true crime rabbit hole.

Mark Malkoff joins us today to determine who's more obsessed with Carson - him or Tom. Considering he's written a book and hosted a podcast specifically on the topic, it's safe to say it's him. But we've done almost 3000 episodes of this show and Carson comes up in approximately half of them, so maybe it's closer than you think.

On the show:

• Tom
• Andy
• Kristyn Burtt
• Mark Malkoff

Topics covered:

• Halloween movies
• Torture porn vs. movies that are actually good
• Johnny Carson
• Love Johnny Carson

Tom and Kathryn watched a John Candy documentary. Similarities were noticed. Kind of like how boy bands and k-pop are similar. Or how the red carpet is similar to certain circles of hell. Life is full of comparisons.

Apparently motorcycles break a lot. At least they do when you ride them across the country nonstop. Motorcycles aren't exactly the safest machines to begin with, but when you add "catastrophic axle damage" to the equation you've got a real problem. That's why we recommend divine intervention. It works great if you can get it.

When you think of someone who wants to change Minnesota, you think of positions of fame. Governor, mayor of a big city, state senator, and so forth. But what about auditor? Lack of oversight on our spending is arguably one of our biggest issues. Being able to fix that would go a long way toward fixing everything else. That's what Nate's all about. We'll start with the budget and work our way from there.

On the show:

• Tom
• Kathryn
• Andy
• Nate George

Topics covered:

• AI bubble
• Minnesota state auditor
• Poorly managed Minnesota finances
