• Stealing socks and drinking wine – #2909

    Aaron Schram joins us today to talk about Schram Vineyards, a local Waconia winery that Andy and Melissa went to for their anniversary. Small business is tough, and owning a vineyard is no exception. Actually it might be, because most small business doesn’t involve trying to keep grapes from freezing to death. Maybe they can steal some socks to keep their grapes warm.

  • If you want to get away with murder, don’t Google “how to get away with murder” – #2908

    Any cop will tell you: criminals, by and large, aren’t generally the brightest. There are exceptions, of course, but you usually don’t hear about them because they don’t incriminate themselves in a quest for insurance money (for example). It’s also possible that maybe Minnesota doesn’t produce the most savvy criminals because they’re always preoccupied about having to go shovel snow when they get home. It’s a constant distraction.

  • Today’s show is a real cornucopia…or is it? – #2907

    Quick, how do you spell Berenstain Bears? Alright, maybe that one doesn’t work when you type it out like that. But there are plenty of other Mandela Effects to theorize over. Diddy, for example. You might remember him as a rapper, but he’s actually a raper. A very easy mistake to make.

  • Our listeners antagonize Nancy Sinatra, and they love pizza – #2906

    Today we learn an important rule of broadcasting: don’t mention pizza. Otherwise it’ll dominate the conversation forever. That is exactly what happened today. We also found out that one of our regular listeners went viral on X, but not for any reason you’re imagining.

  • Netflix is spending billions on WB and you’re spending billions on health insurance – #2905

    If you had 72 billion dollars, what would you buy? Would you buy WB? Because you could. But you could also go more practical and buy six months worth of health insurance. With a $10,000 deductible. And no dental.

  • Nuns, cheese, and weather, blended all together – #2904

    It was -10 this morning, so let’s talk about advances in getting your car to start when it’s so cold that gasoline turns into a solid. Or at least I assume that’s what’s going on inside my car. I’m not a mechanic. While we’re at it, let’s talk about advances in bottom of the barrel cheese. And by “advances” I mean “increasingly large quantities of plastic and dyes”.

  • We come from the land of ice and snow – #2903

    Winter is officially here. I mean “official” by Minnesota standards: we’re hitting sub-zero temperatures tonight. Now that’s what you call winter. But what do you call a Real ID? Find out the difference and what you need the various types of Minnesota ID for on today’s show, when we’re not complaining about louts and scallywags. And vagabonds.

  • Minnesota, the state that offers very little – #2902

    December just started and we’re looking at nearly a foot of snow with subzero temperatures. Our sports teams are almost all quite awful. Our government is even worse than our sports teams. Not that we have nothing but complaints. The Vikings sucking generates a solid 30-45 minutes of content every week via Bob’s exasperation. Every cloud has a silver lining.

  • Brad Blanks just can’t stop going viral – #2901

    Winter has begun. Okay, technically winter still has another three weeks until it actually begins, but this is Minnesota. We’ve already got 8 inches of snow and it’s gonna be in the negatives Wednesday night. It’s winter. Kristyn and Brad spend all their time in warm climates so they wouldn’t understand.

  • [Lost Episode] Shane Mauss – #45

    Shane is a laid back kind of guy. Possibly because of all the psychedelics. Another possibility is that in 2012, he had recently released his first comedy album and was riding high on the fame. He’s also midwestern, which makes it so weird that he took so long to grow facial hair. It’s like he never even dreamed of being a lumberjack despite growing up in lumberjack territory.
