You know how the Lowry tunnel is a major slowdown on a good day? Have you ever wondered how slow it would be if a semi truck wrapped itself around the divider wall? Wonder no more! Simply visit today and see for yourself. Then when you’re done, why not visit Tommy at Laugh Camp tonight and tomorrow? Go see both to make sure you don’t miss anything.

Pat Garofalo and Ryan Winkler both agree: driving sucks – #2784
You know what’s bad? People who take what isn’t theirs. You know, scammers, fraudsters, hoodwinkers, gleepsters. I may have made that last one up. What’s even worse though is having to drive your own car. Think of how much you could get done during your daily commute. Not that we as Minnesotans ever have any chance of that happening, but we’re very happy for Texas in a passive aggressive way.

Tyson Schnitker is back with a booming business and a bad set of lungs – #2783
Remember almost ten years ago when Tyson was on talking about his new business, the Skaalvenn Distillery? It’s still going strong despite all that’s happened since then. Unfortunately, he also urgently needs a double lung transplant. Odds are he’s gonna get one, but it’s still not what you want to be doing with your free time.

Sometimes movie remakes are good, but Minnesota (men’s) sports are never good – #2782
The Lilo and Stitch remake beat Mission Impossible. Is it because it was just that great, or because after thirty years and eight movies we’re a bit sick of Ethan Hunt? According to a few of our listeners, it’s both. And speaking of being sick of things for decades, we’ve been sick of Minnesota sports since the Twins last won the world series in the 14th century.

[Lost Episodes] John “Tig” Tiegen, Mark “Oz” Geist, and Kris “Tanto” Paronto
Never mind. I found a good Memorial Day episode. And by “I”, I mean it definitely wasn’t Louisville Joe who came up with the idea and found the episode number for me. Nope, all me. Anyway, Tig, Oz, and Tanto were all present at the attacks in Benghazi in 2012. Can’t get much more military than that. Surprisingly, for people who recently saw direct combat, they’re fairly upbeat.

[Lost Episodes] Bryan Callen and Courtney Scheuerman
It’s Memorial Day, which means we’re too busy remembering to do a show. I tried to find an old episode where we interviewed someone military-related, but I came up blank, so instead how about one where we talk about that one time we interviewed someone military-related? It’s like remembering twice.

Myq Kaplan isn’t a chaplain, but he does have some life lessons to impart – #2781
Things change. Comedy changes. People were doing stand up on Zoom just a few years ago. Nobody could have predicted that. So how will it continue to change? Ask again later. Ideally 5 or 10 years later.

Liz Collin and Mike Bryant get along, so why can’t you? – #2780
Have you got the basketball jones? Sage certainly does. Mike, less so, but he’s still probably the #2 fan in the room. We don’t know Liz’s basketball status, but we do know her news status, and that status is Alpha. I mean Alpha News, not like an alpha in the way the manosphere uses it. Although she might be able to outlift you. We’ll never know.

Gary Marquardt brings his bugle in and makes Tom misty-eyed – #2779
Sometimes life can be hard. The internet goes out. Your steak isn’t done to your exacting specifications. Those kids in the park are being slightly too loud. And then of course there’s veterans who died and can’t get a proper military funeral because nobody shows up, but those people don’t complain on TikTok so that problem largely goes unnoticed. That’s why Gary joined Bugles Across America. That and because bugle is just a fun word to say.

It’s not normal to be able to lift a thousand pounds – #2778
Steroids are a relatively recent thing. So is being a gigantic mass of muscles who can tear a steel beam in half. That’s probably a coincidence though. What’s not a coincidence is that Minnesota made the questionable decision to build a roofless stadium and now games are getting cancelled all the time. If only we had discovered meteorology prior to 2010.
