[Lost Episodes] Chris Markowski and Clayton Cramer - #30 51:01

23h ago51:01

51:01

Chris is, or at least hosts, The Watchdog on Wall Street. What were the dogs watching back in 2012? The government making making money off prescriptions. Because nothing ever really changes. And speaking of nothing changing, Clayton was on for his book My Brother Ron, which is about mental illness and institutionalization. I bet you can guess what …

[Lost Episodes] Robert Mazur and Dr. Rose - #29 1:02:40

1d ago1:02:40

1:02:40

It was a Monday when Robert called in about infiltrating a cartel and Dr. Rose discussed people with broken minds who do awful things. It was a heavy way to start a week. That's why I'm releasing this one on a Saturday, when the week is over. That's right, I did it on purpose. I'm definitely not just capitalizing on happenstance. See Privacy Policy…

Trevor Anderson is a sad baby duck, but at least he doesn't have a set expiration date - #2808 1:22:58

5d ago1:22:58

1:22:58

July 5th, 2030 is going to be a day to remember. According to "the government", that's the day Tom's going to die. If you think that sounds ominous, that's because it does. But it's also most likely something Tom misread, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. What I would worry about is making time to go see Trevor tonight and tomorrow night at 8 …

Money Moves That Sound Smart…But Aren’t (Part 2) | E173 17:34

5d ago17:34

17:34

Some money moves sound smart…until you actually try them. This is Part 2 of our special series where six personal finance experts share strategies that sound smart but rarely are. In this episode, you’ll hear from: Larry McMahon (Uncontrollable Me) on why doing everything yourself can be a costly mistake Sean Mullaney (FI Tax Guy) on when Tradition…

Money Moves That Sound Smart…But Aren’t (Part 1) | E172 24:31

5d ago24:31

24:31

Some financial strategies sound really smart…until they aren’t. In part one of this special two-part series, we’re diving into real stories from personal finance pros who once made money moves that seemed like great ideas... but turned out to be anything but. You’ll hear honest reflections from: Diana Merriam (EconoMe) on the allure, and pitfalls, …

Alligator Alcatraz is a much catchier name than Grand Casino Arena - #2807 1:20:24

6d ago1:20:24

1:20:24

In Boston, they tell it like it is. In Minnesota, we tell it like it isn't. Each of us guard a door, and behind one of the doors is priceless treasure. Behind the other, a violent sex offender who we sent to prison for 15 minutes. Choose wisely.

The great tornado watch of 2025 - #2806 1:06:46

7d ago1:06:46

1:06:46

Carver county had four confirmed tornados touch down over the weekend. Everyone knew about it. Well, almost everyone. Luckily there wasn't too much damage. Not as much as Bezos did to his own reputation with his ostentatious wedding, anyway. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#d…

Ross Brendel will never go on a cruise again - #2805 1:36:07

10d ago1:36:07

1:36:07

What's your opinion on cruises? You other love them or hate them. After today's show, you'll probably hate them. But that's okay, because there's plenty to do. Why not go watch one of the three good movies? Or listen to Ross on SKOR North? Assuming you have time after your daily listening party of our podcast, of course. See Privacy Policy at https…

Kari Hoffmann and Neal Justin are two Minnesotans with interesting stories - #2804 2:05:10

11d ago2:05:10

2:05:10

In 2019, Landen Hoffmann was thrown off the third floor balcony in the Mall of America. Kari attributes his survival to a miracle. Unsurprisingly, we talk a lot about religion the rest of the episode. Also local media, considering both Tom and Neal are local media mainstays and Kari had plenty of experiences with them. See Privacy Policy at https:/…

Dave fills in for Kristyn as Sage fills a bucket with ice - #2803 1:15:53

12d ago1:15:53

1:15:53

Remember the ice bucket challenge? Well it's back. It took a while to make enough ice. Sage decided to dump a bucket of it on himself, and we've got the audio. We also discuss every TV show and movie ever made going back to the 1950s. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-s…

The umpire bites back - #2802 1:05:04

13d ago1:05:04

1:05:04

Martin Kove has bitten a coworker. What this means for the future of humanity, we cannot say. Probably not a lot. But let's not discount all possibilities. For example, maybe the Twins will start being good. I don't really know how those two could be connected, but I don't know how you can lose almost ten games in a row either. See Privacy Policy a…

This isn't Bob's first rodeo, but it was Andy's first concert - #2801 1:13:22

14d ago1:13:22

1:13:22

The Twins suck. The weather sucks. Even the acoustics suck here. So why stay in Minnesota? How about our famous rodeos? Bob just got done with one, and the excitement aged him 20 years. Also check out our illustrious electric scooter industry. Just wear a helmet. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https…

J Elvis Weinstein and Joel Madison have been in the biz almost as long as Tom - #2800 1:13:20

17d ago1:13:20

1:13:20

Once upon a time, video killed the radio star. Younger listeners might not know that in this case, "video" refers to music videos that they used to play on TV. Yeah, those are kind of gone now too. Now it's all about YouTube and podcasts. Also stand-up comedy. That's changed too, but they're still standing up and doing comedy, so at least it's fami…

Focus on the Back to the Fifties show, not on the rest of our conversation - #2799 1:16:59

18d ago1:16:59

1:16:59

Mike Bryant is in today hot off a case of someone being molested as a child, so we talk at length about that for a while. Then J. Marie comes on to talk about Back to the Fifties. We decided not to attempt to segue the two and just let the conversation head in a more positive direction. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California…

Mischke is "back", but did he actually go anywhere? - #2798 1:22:04

19d ago1:22:04

1:22:04

If you're a musician in the 1970s, don't build your own plane and then try to fly it. Also, you probably shouldn't be using your time machine to listen to our show, but we're not going to stop you. And while you're at it, why not listen to Mischke? That's the name of the host and also of the podcast. It's not The Mischke Road Show any more. He's le…

You’re Great at Saving. Are You Good at Giving? If not, start here. | E171 Spencer Reese 57:24

19d ago57:24

57:24

We’re great savers. Probably good earners, too. But what about givers? The FI community excels at building wealth, but often, we’re laser-focused on accumulating it for ourselves. Is that fair? Does that make us selfish? I’m not sure. On one hand, taking care of yourself should be step one - like the old adage goes: “Put on your own oxygen mask bef…

Enjoy your artificial food colors while you can...perhaps at the State Fair - #2797 1:08:47

20d ago1:08:47

1:08:47

You know Froot Loops? Have you ever looked at them and thought "this seems a little too colorful"? From the sound of it, kids today may be growing up without such concerns. The good news is they'll still be able to get all the nutritious anabolic steroids their bodies need to become professional wrestlers. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/pr…

Minnesota politics have somehow gotten even worse - #2796 1:08:50

21d ago1:08:50

1:08:50

Two Minnesota politicians, Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman, have been shot. Melissa has died, while John's status is cautiously optimistic. Meanwhile, famous celebrities are on trial for sex trafficking, cities are on fire, and ALS cases are increasing. All in all, a great year so far.

Our podcast is going public domain sometime around the year 3000 - #2795 1:07:21

24d ago1:07:21

1:07:21

Have you ever wanted to put AI generated versions of us in a horror movie? Try it and we'll be contacting our lawyers. That is, unless you're still around once all our content enters the public domain. Then there's nothing we can do. All we ask is that you give your movie a relatively clever name.

Brittany comes back to interrogate the family (in a fun way) - #2794 1:17:45

25d ago1:17:45

1:17:45

One of Tom's favorite people has died. No, not Brittany. She's immortal. Brian Wilson has passed, leaving behind a music legacy and a lot of baggage. And speaking of legacies, if you've ever wanted to know how we all feel about being famous or fame-adjacent, this is your show.

Nothing lasts forever, including internet connectivity - #2793 59:49

26d ago59:49

59:49

Today, we got into the studio and discovered the internet was broken. Then it came back, but our computer was broken. Then we fixed that, but by then we were fed up with the modern era so we decided to go back to 1960s Minneapolis for a while. It also sucked, but it sucked in a different way. A change of pace is always nice. See Privacy Policy at h…

Los Angeles is as restful as ever - #2972 1:02:31

27d ago1:02:31

1:02:31

What's the difference between a protest and a riot? Whether or not you agree with the people doing the protesting or rioting. Well, depending on who you ask, LA is currently experiencing either the apocalypse or a polite discussion over tea. So basically, business as usual. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Noti…

The internet is broken, but the Tonys are apparently good again - #2791 56:02

28d ago56:02

56:02

Google is slow. Bob can't get into Streamyard, and his 1980s computer equipment is on the fritz. Tom's camera is turning itself off. Makes you feel like you're in the Twilight Zone. But not all is lost: the Tony awards were apparently surprisingly watchable. You know, if you actually like broadway theater. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/pr…

Jesse the Shrink isn't here to label you, even if you're just an AI impostor - #2790 1:17:28

1M ago1:17:28

1:17:28

Have you ever noticed that a lot of celebrities actually look kind of weird? Big heads, big noses, big mouths. The camera might add ten pounds, but apparently it also subtracts a hat size or two. Now there's something that will actually shrink your head. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.…

Bill Dehkes and the What's The Point Podcast are both back - #2789 1:09:04

1M ago1:09:04

1:09:04

Remember when we had Bill on our show back in 2020? Well, technically it was Car Selling Secrets, but who's counting. You may recall he also started a podcast shortly after that ran for about a year. He's back, it's back, and we're ready to start releasing new episodes in about a month. Until then, you'll have to settle for this show. See Privacy P…

Dave Schrader is back and his kids have all grown up somehow - #2788 1:07:32

1M ago1:07:32

1:07:32

We've known Dave for a long time. We've known Cassie, his wife, even longer. And as it turns out, ten years is a long time. We just found out recently. But not everything changes despite the passage of time, at least not right away: Dave is still out there hunting ghosts, we're still doing our podcast, and people are still greedy.

How to Live a FI Life Without the FI Bank Account | E170 Jess from Fioneers 57:26

1M ago57:26

57:26

Why are you chasing financial independence? It could be living a more adventurous life filled with travel or doing work you love, regardless of the pay. Whatever your dream looks like, it probably comes down to two things: freedom and flexibility. We want to be in the driver’s seat of our lives. And we know money is one of the biggest obstacles sta…

We all have black lung, but at least traffic's not too bad - #2787 1:11:41

1M ago1:11:41

1:11:41

Ever been in a 50 lane traffic jam? How about stuck in your car for 5 days? No? That must make you proud to be an American. Or anything but someone from Hong Kong, really. Maybe you're a little less proud lately what with all the smoke in the air, but at least we live in the future where we have personal air purifiers. The Jetsons would be jealous.…

Welcome to the (Sansevere) family - #2786 1:17:37

1M ago1:17:37

1:17:37

Bob's got some big news to share today: the Twins suck. Well, and one other thing. It's not as big of a deal as Tudum, but you do get to take home something other than a shirt and a bag.

Tommy Ryman likes dogs of all sizes but prefers his blocks very small - #2785 1:08:41

1M ago1:08:41

1:08:41

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 1:20:28

1M ago1:20:28

1:20:28

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…

Tyson Schnitker is back with a booming business and a bad set of lungs - #2783 1:09:21

1M ago1:09:21

1:09:21

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. See Privacy Policy at…

The Women Who Disappeared...And Reappeared 63 Years Later | E169 4:16

What would you do if you had to start over, completely from scratch? In this episode, I share the wild true story of Audrey, a woman who vanished in 1962 and was just found alive, 63 years later. Her story sparked a thought experiment: if you had to reinvent yourself, new city, new career, new hobbies, what path would you choose? We’ll explore what…

Sometimes movie remakes are good, but Minnesota (men's) sports are never good - #2782 1:15:34

1M ago1:15:34

1:15:34

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 th…

47:27

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 …

[Lost Episodes] Bryan Callen and Courtney Scheuerman 1:14:52

1:14:52

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. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy an…

Myq Kaplan isn't a chaplain, but he does have some life lessons to impart - #2781 1:23:48

1M ago1:23:48

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. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.…

Liz Collin and Mike Bryant get along, so why can't you? - #2780 1:13:43

2M ago1:13:43

1:13:43

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. S…

Gary Marquardt brings his bugle in and makes Tom misty-eyed - #2779 1:22:26

2M ago1:22:26

1:22:26

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. …

Travel Hacks to Upgrade Your Next Vacation (Without Spending More) | E168 Chris Hutchins 47:27

2M ago47:27

47:27

I get why some people aren’t into traveling. Long flights crammed in a middle seat, overpriced hotels that smell like smoke, and being miles away from the city center - none of that screams “dream vacation.” Now, I’m past the days of budget airlines and sketchy motels but I’m also not flying first class with lay-down seats or staying in luxury hote…

It's not normal to be able to lift a thousand pounds - #2778 1:15:59

2M ago1:15:59

1:15:59

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…

If you're Minnesotan, odds are relatively high that you've known someone who's been in Stillwater prison at some point. The sentimental types among you may be saddened to hear that said prison is being phased out. It happens to everyone's favorite hangouts eventually.
