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.

Nate George wants the change but none of the attention – #2873
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:

The best time to plant a tree on Palm Beach island was 20 years ago – #2872
We’ve got an investment opportunity for you. $100,000 can get you $10,000,000, and it’s a sure thing. All we need is a time machine. It doesn’t have to be a great one. Even just 20 years back will suffice. Failing that, we suggest shorting the Jets. Can you short an NFL team?

The two scariest things of all are monsters and aging – #2870
Not everyone, not even the very rich, often make it to 100. Most of us do make it to the age where you need reading glasses though. That’s pretty scary. Even scarier than a giant green guy lumbering around going “rrrrr”. But not scarier than Ed Gein.

Precarious State is making waves, as is Fawn graduating to bracelessness – #2866
If you’ve ever wanted to lose 220 million dollars, you should have gotten into Minneapolis commercial real estate about ten years ago. But hey, it’s not too late. There’s plenty of money left to lose in that city, unless things start changing in a hurry. And speaking of changing in a hurry, when are all of these hundred year old former NFL players getting into the hall of fame? When, I ask you?

The illness spreads, but the entertainment news must be delivered – #2865
