Why all the hatred of one another? We may never know. But we do know that fire is scary. It's built into our DNA. We also know that war is scary. There are a lot of things that are scary, come to think of it.

The rock and roll lifestyle is often not a long-lived one. But there are things you, as a famous rock star, can do to protect yourself. Don't drink entire bottles of liquor in a single night. Don't mix illicit drugs. Maybe even consider switching to decaf. Just because you're hardcore doesn't mean you can't be straight edge.

Walz is officially not seeking re-election, which means congratulations Governor Klobuchar. You know it's gonna happen. But you know what isn't gonna happen? Getting a reasonably priced first class plane ticket these days. I asked how much they were and they said "if you have to ask, you can't afford it". I don't get no respect.

Apparently they're making another Avengers movie. And then another one. Also there's Supergirl. And probably others too, but at this point the only thing left to say is "enough". Mario and Frankenstein on the other hand, it's about time those guys dominate the culture again for a while. We're bringing the 90s back, and this time we're leaving the comic books behind.

50 episodes doesn't seem like much, especially when you're currently scraping up against 3000, but back then it felt like a big deal. And speaking of big deals, Rocky was recently in a terrible car accident and needs to learn to walk again and all that fun stuff. On top of that, his daughter has stage four stomach cancer. You could say it hasn't been a great few years for Rocky. If you feel compelled to help him out, check out his GoFundMe below.

Arj is - or at least was, as far as we know - a dual citizen in Australia. It's a very laid back place, not like America where everything is so political and everyone hates one another and...hang on. This all sounds very familiar.

What's your opinion on hypnosis? Is it a ruse, or does it actually work? Maybe you don't have one and would like to acquire one? Well too bad, because Jake's book, The Hypnotist, is out of print. That'll happen after 13 years.

Once upon a time, Ali was a relatively unknown, relatively new comedian. Today, she's been in movies, TV shows, and she's even been on the Tom Barnard Podcast. Now that's what I call celebrity. That last one specifically, I mean.
