The Flintstones. They’re pretty old, literally and figuratively. I mean, the 60s was a long time ago, but it’s got nothing on the Stone Age. There’s also a nearly 200 year old tortoise out there, and baseball legends that haven’t played in over thirty years. History has something for everyone, really.

Remember when we brought up the “dill dough” incident? We’re bringing it up again, and this time we find it. Turns out we had it clipped the whole time. Who knew? What we do know is that an emergency has been reported in the building. Do not use the elevators.

If you’re the CEO of a burger chain, you should probably like the burgers. Or at least know how to eat one properly. Lest you be clowned upon. In more local news, Tim finally saw the movie he’s been anticipating since what feels like the 1930s. Was it good? I’ll never tell. That’s his job.

If you’re a Minnesotan, you’ve probably been to Valleyfair. And if you haven’t, go while you still can, because it just got sold. Who knows what comes next? Fewer flags means less fun, as we all know.

We didn’t forget about that monthly segment with Jesse and Dave. Well okay, we did, but we’re only off by a week. That’s practically on time by podcast standards. Tom isn’t here for most of the show today because he was busy driving ten miles an hour through West Palm Beach. If you’ve ever been there, you’ll know what we’re talking about.

Power bills in Minnesota are expensive. And no, the fact that it gets cold doesn’t fully explain it. Property taxes and rent are also very high, despite the fact that you can buy an entire historical office complex for one dollar. I guess you could say everything’s about money. But you don’t need to, because it’s already been said a few times.

You’ve probably heard us talk about how ice cream isn’t real anymore. But have you heard about maple syrup? Or honey? Fortunately, Tiffany Norton hasn’t been replaced with corn syrup yet, although whoever replaced her on the radio is probably somehow inferior. We don’t know who it is, but how could they not be, right?

Scream 7 just came out. Some people are asking “why”? Same reason films set in Minnesota are rarely shot in Minnesota: money. Although the latest Scream is shaping up to be a big enough bomb that it may, in fact, be Scream Part Last.

The military is a strange thing. You might be sleeping in a crowded tent with a bunch of armed strangers, or you might be sent deep into the ocean crammed into a steel tube with 99 men who don’t necessarily want to be there. It’s no wonder why people who experience these things develop their own quirks. Yes, let’s call them quirks.

In December, Cassie (also known as Winnie) and Dave bought the Palmer House in Sauk Center. It’s known for its ghostliness, so it was a no-brainer. It’s also a no-brainer to predict that we have more sad celebrity news, because that’s just how it is every day now.
