I agree, but the listeners then wanted grunge and Garth

I'll be honest, the FFA kids had this shit figured out decades ago.

I’ve been in Scottsdale for 10 days and this is just a happy hour fit tbh

Douglas or Todd is going to be a fuckin challenge, tell you what

"Browns Valley has a Carnegie Library (pictured), a reminder of a time when the fantastically wealthy tried to make the world a better place instead of draining the earth's oceans to make AI slop that your high school bully shares on Facebook."

I have such contempt for this county. From November to April, it IS under a Blizzard Warning 85% of the time.

Also, is it pronounced like Traverse City, MI or the Chevy Traverse? THIS IS WHY I NEVER SAY THIS COUNTY NAME EVEN THOUGH ITS IN THE VIEWING AREA!

The greater good.

Brady Tkachuk miffed over White House AI-doctored video Brady Tkachuk said he didn't appreciate the AI-doctored video released by the White House that made it appear he was disparaging Canadians.

If you're not a hockey person, what happened here is that one of the MAGA-est dudes in the NHL just got used and embarrassed by Trump because no amount of kissing Trump's ass is enough to make him respect you or hesitate to humiliate you for his own entertainment.

But then who’s going to do content creation for all the adult school shooters and other republicans

I was hoping you’d see this

Punches above its weight.

I spent many hours and days driving through rural Minnesota in my orchestra musician days, and "the flat-as-a-fucking-pancake part with seven farmers who all hated each other for being the wrong kind of Lutheran" is just a spot-on description of a very specific chunk of the state.

if I had pointed out anything positive about wheaton it would've been a problem for my dad, but it'll be in the reader feedback portion next week

OVERVIEW: My dad worked for the telephone company. He was, at least for a time, a lineman for the county. His work took him all over the back roads of rural Minnesota. Not the part with lakes and cabins and majestic forests, but the flat-as-a-fucking-pancake part with seven farmers who all hated each other for being the wrong kind of Lutheran. He didn't complain too much, but when he did, he'd mention the kind of bass ackwards town where you couldn't get a meal or a cold beer or a hotel room. "Wheaton," he said more than once. "Goddamn, I hate Wheaton." Wheaton is the most populous city in Traverse County, Minnesota's least-populous county. I award them zero points. May God have mercy on their souls.

Howie didn't care for Wheaton.
