Summary

Garage Logic Podcast | March 19, 2026
Episode Title: Garage Logic Solves the Nation's Homelessness Problem
Host: Joe Soucheray ("The Mayor") with Chris Reivers, Kenny Olson, John Haidt, Matthew, et al.

---

Overview

In this thought-provoking episode of Garage Logic, the cast takes on a perennial social issue: homelessness in America—specifically, the massive spending on programs that seem to deliver meager results. With their signature blend of wit, skepticism, and storytelling, Joe Soucheray and the GL crew dissect government inefficiency, propose radical “solutions,” and reflect on deeper concerns about political accountability, public trust, and community resilience. Along the way, the conversation rambles (in classic GL fashion) through local anecdotes, historic context, and musings on happiness, government, and even Nordic countries’ contentment.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Chris' Homelessness "Solution": Stop Public Spending

• Chris Reivers launches into his “brainstorm” for ending homelessness by proposing an immediate halt to all public spending on the issue, arguing the dollars overwhelmingly support a bureaucratic class instead of actually helping the homeless.
• Quote: “Immediately eliminate all public programs dedicated to homelessness. Not one nickel more goes to homelessness. Because A, it hasn’t been getting to the homeless anyway. And B, it just serves to sustain a bureaucratic class that’s been living off the homeless funds...” (03:25)
• Much of the group riff on the idea, oscillating between satirical and serious. They acknowledge holes in the plan but double down on the critique that bureaucracy absorbs resources.

Key Timestamps for this Segment

• Plan introduced: [02:38 – 03:56]
• Statistical breakdown of New York's spending: [04:26 – 07:21]

---

2. Money and Inefficiency: Case Studies & Numbers

• Statistical Critique: Chris cites data from New York’s Comptroller that shows a massive increase in homelessness spending (from $102m in 2019 to $368m in 2025), while the population of "unsheltered" homeless rose from 3,500 to 4,500 in the same period. This, Chris argues, demonstrates bureaucratic self-perpetuation rather than problem-solving.
• Memorable Moment: "That's $81,705 in spending per homeless person. They're not getting it. That's the salary of someone who's pretending to be addressing the homeless problem." (07:22)
• The group voices skepticism toward the official numbers, but reiterates the main point: the dollars do not reach the intended recipients.

---

3. Historical Perspective: When Homelessness Was “Pie On the Windowsill”

• Chris & Kenny recall an era when "bums" or "hobos" traveled the country during the Depression, relying on the kindness of locals (“a pie on the windowsill”) and simple, personal charity, as opposed to government programs.
• Quote: “We had bums. And what you did is you put a pie on the windowsill. And then they came and ate the pie. And there were no public food shelters.” (12:39)

---

4. Alternative Proposal: One Honest Administrator

• Kenny jokingly submits: appoint a single official in every state to physically deliver funds only to places (e.g., churches or shelters) shown to be directly helping the homeless, thus sidestepping bureaucracies. (13:54)
• The conversation pivots to why there are not outspoken critics (even from “true believers”) within Democratic circles calling out failed spending—concluding, in part, that the financial incentive to leave the problem unsolved is too strong.
• Quote: “If homelessness goes away, so does the money. They don’t want to cure homelessness.” – Joe Soucheray (15:18)

---

5. Political and Systemic Skepticism

Government Solutions = Enabling Dependence?

• Throughout the episode, the hosts question whether sprawling government programs across issues (housing, daycare, food, health, etc.) accomplish their advertised results or mainly perpetuate dependency and fraud.
• Chris: “Nothing these liars tell us... as an example of their tremendous virtue... None of it has benefited anybody except them.” (11:47)

Local vs. Distant Government

• The panel distinguishes between local government (which they generally see as responsive and effective—“you probably know who’s on your city council”) and state/national bureaucracies, where power becomes abstracted and less accountable.
• “The closer you get to the tallest buildings, you elect morons.” – Joe (29:16)

Regulatory Excess

• Anecdote about an electrician’s licensing: to work as an unlicensed laborer, you need a license for being “unlicensed” and must attend continuing education—another example of state overreach and money grabs. (34:43)

---

6. No One Can Fix It: Political Dead Ends

• The cast is united in their pessimism that no politician, from Trump to Newsom, can fundamentally fix what they see as an entrenched, self-sustaining bureaucratic disorder driving American governance.
• Quote: “Nobody’s the answer. It’s going to take a miracle answer to come along.” – Chris (38:11)
• “We’re witnessing it play out in real time... We can no longer afford their incompetency.” – Chris (38:34)

---

7. Satirical “Solutions” & The Return of the Pie Route

• As the show winds down, the group circles back repeatedly to the Depression-era “pie route” as emblematic of true community care and dignity—and as a tongue-in-cheek rebuke to modern welfare systems.
• Quote: “You like pie? I do. And that’s how we used to take care of bums.” – Chris (47:31)

---

8. International Comparisons: Finland and the “Happiest Countries”

• The group briefly examines the World Happiness Report. Finland, Iceland, Denmark, etc., top the list—citing universal trust in government and robust welfare states as explanations.
• Quote: “Wouldn’t it be great, gratifying, to have a high level of trust in government? That can see where that would contribute to happiness.” – Chris (80:54)
• Notable comedic exchange about small population size (“Finland’s got 5.6 million people—that’s fewer than the Twin Cities area!”) and national homogeneity.

Tone & Language

Garage Logic delivers in its trademark style: part curmudgeonly, part earnest, laced with Midwestern banter and irreverence for bureaucracy and political platitudes. The speakers routinely veer between satire and genuine concern, with Soucheray as the steady, sometimes sardonic “Mayor” grounding the conversation.

---

For Listeners Who Missed It

This episode is less a policy debate and more a critique of government failure and self-reinforcing inefficiency, using homelessness as the throughline. The discussion, while facetious at times, is rooted in the show’s core philosophy: reverence for common sense, local autonomy, and skepticism of distant power, all wrapped in storytelling, inside jokes, and digressions.

Fans of the show will recognize the playful jabs (“Pie on the windowsill!”), the recurring GL tropes about “tallest buildings,” and the nostalgia for a time when community and accountability meant something tangible. For newcomers, it’s a bracing ride through a very Minnesota brand of resignation—and stubborn, rough-edged optimism.

---

Closing

The episode wraps up with lighthearted exchanges about Finnish happiness, local festivals (the “hobo museum”), and a final plea for trust and tangible accountability, before veering into GL’s regular news and sports coverage.

Garage Logic: Where “common sense” always seems just out of reach—but they’ll fight for it (or at least reminisce about it) every step of the way.

Hail the flashlight king.

[Chris Reivers]

And now from the mayor's office above the BO house on the east shore of Spoon Lake. Oh, hey, you guys are back on the air with Chris Reavers manning technology corner, Kenny Olson from the crabby coffee shop, John Height in the newsroom, and of course, the rookie here is your flashlight king, fireworks commissioner, and the keeper of common sense, your mayor, Joe Susher. All other means having failed. I had a brainstorm today. How to end homelessness. Anybody want to take a crack at it? What I came up with, did you

[Joe Soucheray]

channel your inner Gavin Newsom?

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah. Part of the reason I came up with my reason how to end homelessness.

[Joe Soucheray]

How to end homelessness.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, what do you think? How would you do it?

[Kenny Olson]

I would put them in a house.

[John Haidt]

Yeah.

[Chris Reivers]

Build some homes.

[Kenny Olson]

Get a house going, rook.

[Chris Reivers]

How would you do it?

[John Haidt]

I would build some homes, Johnny.

[Matthew]

Well, you'd have to Build some homes. But then you'd have to have some sort of income, wouldn't you?

[Joe Soucheray]

If I had a hand.

[Kenny Olson]

Can I go again? I want to go again.

[Chris Reivers]

All right.

[Kenny Olson]

I would build some homes.

[John Haidt]

I would build some homes.

[Kenny Olson]

I would build some homes.

[Chris Reivers]

And homelessness.

[John Haidt]

Thank you, Kenny. I appreciate that.

[Chris Reivers]

Could end it tomorrow. That's a clue.

[Matthew]

That's quick.

[Chris Reivers]

End it tomorrow. Tomorrow.

[Joe Soucheray]

Are you talking mass execution? Yeah. What are you talking about here?

[Chris Reivers]

Immediately eliminate all public programs dedicated to homelessness. Not one nickel more goes to homelessness. Because A, it hasn't been getting to the homeless anyway. True. And B, it just serves to sustain a bureaucratic class that's been living off the homeless funds which aren't getting to the homeless in the first place. Let's try zero money available to be homeless. And you will cure homelessness.

[Matthew]

I don't think that would turn out well.

[Chris Reivers]

I don't care. It's my plan. It's my idea.

[John Haidt]

He's not a logistics guy. He's an idea man. Yeah, you bet.

[Kenny Olson]

You're only talking taxes, right?

[Chris Reivers]

No.

[Kenny Olson]

Government money. No, because I'm not going to shut down private funding for the homeless.

[Chris Reivers]

Go ahead.

[Kenny Olson]

Somebody wants to write a hundred dollar check.

[Chris Reivers]

Let me tell you something.

[Kenny Olson]

New York body.

[Chris Reivers]

Let's go to New York.

[Kenny Olson]

Listen here, pal.

[Chris Reivers]

Los Angeles has spent 650 grand per housing unit for the homeless. But New York City is racing to catch up. Here are numbers from the New York Comptroller's annual report via the Economist. New York City's unsheltered population. That's a new euphemism. Well, it's not new. It's a euphemism. Increased from 3,588 people in fiscal year 2019 to 4,504 people in 2025. That's a 26% increase from pre pandemic levels. In that time, spending on services for this population is more than tripled, growing from 102 million in fiscal year 2019. 102 million. To address the problems of 4,500 people in New York City. Where do you think the money's going? And that has risen. That has risen to 368 million last year. That's a 262% increase.

[John Haidt]

Okay, so that's a paper trail.

[Chris Reivers]

None of it reaching the homeless.

[John Haidt]

But that's a paper trail where we should be able to find out where'd you dump that 25 million?

[Chris Reivers]

This 25?

[John Haidt]

No, but I mean, just in parts. 25 went to here.

[Chris Reivers]

It's sustaining all of the people with job titles that cannot be measured for achievement, walking around with clipboards and iPads, and they have meetings and they have computers and printers, and they have third assistant chiefs, and they meet in a room, and then they all get paid 90 grand a year. And they have health benefits and vacations and everything else. In the meantime, not one homeless person in New York receives a nickel. You just solved it in any possible way. It's all a scam.

[John Haidt]

How do you implement.

[Chris Reivers]

It's a scam. In Los Angeles, it's a scam. In New York, it's a scam. The closer you get to the country's tallest buildings. The truth of the matter is the homeless are not benefiting from any public input of tax dollars. It's not reaching them. And homelessness, it only grew in New York to, let's see. To 4,500 people in fiscal year 25. So it increased 1,000 people. 4,500 people in New York were homeless in fiscal year 2025. That's up from 3,500 people in 2019. But the money went up from 102 million to 368 million. Where's it going?

[Joe Soucheray]

I have audio if you'd like to hear it.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, what does it pertain to?

[Joe Soucheray]

Gavin Newsom and homelessness. I was going to bring this up, but I'll wait till you're completed with this.

[Chris Reivers]

When you break that down, I'll get back to you.

[Joe Soucheray]

Sure.

[Chris Reivers]

When you divide 368 million by 4,504 people, what do you get? You get $81,705 in spending per homeless person. They're not getting it. That's the salary of someone who's pretending to be addressing the homeless problem.

[Matthew]

I have a question.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah, you go ahead.

[Matthew]

Oh, where are we getting those numbers?

[Chris Reivers]

From the New York Comptroller's Office.

[John Haidt]

Do you think there's more than 3,500 people that are homeless, John?

[Matthew]

Well, I looked it up. The Overview says over 101,000 people sleep in municipal shelters nightly in New York as of November 2025. And more than 350,000 individuals were estimated to be without homes in the area in octo of 2025.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah, but that's AI. I'm going with a human. I'm going with.

[John Haidt]

I thought it was low. Two for New York.

[Chris Reivers]

I don't care what the number is. They're still not getting any money.

[Joe Soucheray]

Truth.

[Chris Reivers]

They're not getting any help. You can tell me there's 368,000 people in New York that are homeless. They. And they spent 368 million. They're not getting any money. The money's not going to the homeless. Yeah, you got audio from Gavin Newsom. Joe, this is a. I do concede that 4,500 people sounds like a small number of homeless in New York City. Go ahead.

[Joe Soucheray]

On March 2nd, Governor Gavin Newsom issued the following tweet. Join me for an announcement on homelessness and mental health across the great state California, to which somebody else put together a collage of. Homelessness is my number one priority. And it goes all the way back. Joe, to 2004, what we call a

[Matthew]

ten year plan to end chronic homeless in San Francisco.

[Chris Reivers]

Homelessness. What are you going to do as a new mayor? And I said, well, what are you going to. You can stop. It's the same old bs. The money goes to agencies and contractors and politically connected people. If the issue were resources for poor people, you could just give a check to them.

[John Haidt]

Is that what we need to start?

[Chris Reivers]

That's not happening.

[Joe Soucheray]

We're making the assumption they want it to end, which they don't.

[Chris Reivers]

But the homeless. But the homeless are mentally ill and they're drug and alcohol addicts. And the welfare state cultivates them to be able to cash in, but they're really not cashing in. There's nothing they have to share for the money.

[Kenny Olson]

Under your plan, how will people go about getting homed?

[John Haidt]

How's.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, here would be. Here would be my answer to that.

[Joe Soucheray]

What up home.

[Chris Reivers]

Here would be my answer to that. The homeless people who aren't drug or alcohol addicted would realize I'm not getting any money. I better get my act together and get a job. I don't know what we do about the drug and alcohol addicted mentally ill people that I don't know.

[Kenny Olson]

What about people that just they have a job but they live in their car?

[Chris Reivers]

Well, you figured out. Because I'm just the idea guy. I don't have an answer. You figure it out.

[Kenny Olson]

I was hoping to. I was hoping to work with you.

[Chris Reivers]

You can't. You can't work with me because my plan is too simple. My plan is you have your answer by zero money. Zero money for homeless.

[Kenny Olson]

So zero thoughts.

[Chris Reivers]

That's right. That's right. If you want to look at it

[Joe Soucheray]

that way, you have your answer.

[Kenny Olson]

I mean, I'm trying to get some. I don't, you know, that's.

[Chris Reivers]

Yes.

[Kenny Olson]

Try to get.

[Chris Reivers]

What do you have for the answer?

[Kenny Olson]

One person off the street, Mr. Mayor. One person.

[Chris Reivers]

No. How are we going to do that zero.

[Joe Soucheray]

Seattle is dying. There are resources for these people. The problem is they have to be clean.

[Chris Reivers]

Now, that's a different problem. I haven't gotten that one yet. Okay, so you don't make any drugs or alcohol available. Okay. Good luck. Bring back prohibition.

[John Haidt]

So we need to open here in the Twin Cities is a homeless office so we can get millions and millions.

[Joe Soucheray]

We already have that, but the money's being stolen.

[John Haidt]

I mean us. I mean the group here. To get millions of dollars.

[Chris Reivers]

Let's put it this way.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, here we go.

[Chris Reivers]

Of course, there are tremendous holes in my thinking.

[Matthew]

Sure.

[Chris Reivers]

But I would say this is largely true. This. Let's just return to Minnesota.

[John Haidt]

Bring it here.

[Chris Reivers]

This state, for example, has been able to show no benefit whatsoever to the people presumed to be benefiting from the thousand programs we have in the government. Zero. I would agree with that. The Housing stabilization program was fraud. Autism is fraud. Daycare is fraud. Food is fraud. Nothing. Nothing these liars tell us they're doing as an example of their tremendous virtue given to them by the sense that they are acting in the public good. None of it has benefited anybody except them. So it's true of the homeless.

[John Haidt]

Okay, then here's my question.

[Chris Reivers]

The country has always had homeless.

[John Haidt]

Yes.

[Chris Reivers]

They were called bums.

[John Haidt]

Hobos.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, let me just finish. I'm gonna go with bum. Okay, I'm going with bum.

[Matthew]

Okay.

[Chris Reivers]

We had bums. And what you did is you put a pie on the windowsill.

[Kenny Olson]

Jesus Christ.

[Chris Reivers]

And then they came and ate the pie. And there were no public food shelters. You had to go to somebody's house where they had the pie on the windowsill. That's right. That's right.

[Kenny Olson]

Three gu in striped suits with their ankles chained together would sneak into your yard, grab that.

[Chris Reivers]

And where did they come from? Up from the rail yards. They came from the rail yards. They knew there'd be a pie. They ate the pie. They got back on a train, went to Montana. Then there was a new set of pies they could go after.

[John Haidt]

They had their route.

[Chris Reivers]

They had a pie route. That's how this country took care of it. When this country knew what it was doing.

[Matthew]

The old pie trail.

[Chris Reivers]

The old pie trail.

[Kenny Olson]

I'm willing to take a serious approach. I think I have it actually figured out.

[Chris Reivers]

I'm no longer serious about anything in the world because the world currently makes no sense to me whatsoever. But you go ahead, take a shot at being serious.

[Kenny Olson]

We do need to throw money at the homeless. There's one person and one person only in every state government that writes that check. There's not a committee, there's not a staff. There's one guy. We put the homeless. We put the churches and the homeless shelters in charge of the homeless. This guy with the checkbook visits each church or each location personally and decides if they get any money. Walks into a church, sees him feeding a bunch of homeless, goes, you know what? You guys are doing it, right? Here's $175.

[John Haidt]

What about kickbacks?

[Chris Reivers]

$175.

[Kenny Olson]

You know what I mean? I have no idea how much to check, but that's how my program.

[John Haidt]

My question is why? Seriously, why isn't there a Democrat, A hardcore Democrat?

[Chris Reivers]

They don't exist anymore.

[John Haidt]

But that doesn't call the other Democrats that are squandering this money out because they believe in their heart they need to fix homelessness.

[Chris Reivers]

Because we no longer have the parties that are stuck in your mind. We no longer have a Republican Party, and we no longer have a Democratic party.

[John Haidt]

But there's gotta be some liberal that says, hey, guys, you're wasting money. Let's go here.

[Chris Reivers]

Let's go to the back of the room. And this is like calling on dirty job.

[John Haidt]

Yeah. Horseshoe.

[Chris Reivers]

Jesus. What do you want, Johnny?

[Joe Soucheray]

To answer your question, it's very simple. If homelessness goes away, so does the money. They don't want to cure homelessness.

[Chris Reivers]

See, this is part of my gambit, right? Take away all the money dedicated to homeless and also get rid of all the people who have pretended to be doing something about it.

[Joe Soucheray]

And now I will politically spin this. Joe Sucre is against helping the homeless. You cannot vote for him in Gumption County.

[Chris Reivers]

There is no homelessness in Garage Logic.

[Joe Soucheray]

No kidding. So we know how to operate things.

[Kenny Olson]

They sleep in the house. We run their ass out of town, don't we?

[Joe Soucheray]

Beat it, hobo.

[John Haidt]

We put him on a boxcar of Louis Cardinal Station.

[Chris Reivers]

I wasn't really going that harsh.

[Kenny Olson]

I see you in my parish.

[Joe Soucheray]

Run them out of town.

[Matthew]

Gl's a sundown county.

[John Haidt]

That's right.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

Beat it.

[Joe Soucheray]

You working 40 hours a week.

[Chris Reivers]

Get the hell out of here.

[Kenny Olson]

No, you're putting that. You're staying that sheriff in Big Lebowski. Stay out of Malibu.

[John Haidt]

Here's your Marjorie Johnson. Fresh baked apple pie. Get out of town in the boxcar.

[Chris Reivers]

You know, and the bums, they would get the pie. Yeah, but they would also never return. Maybe they would rake the lady's yard. Oh, for a few coins.

[John Haidt]

A little trade.

[Chris Reivers]

That's right.

[John Haidt]

Right.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, you know what the bums used to Be.

[John Haidt]

My mind's racing. Good heart.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, you know how they be.

[Chris Reivers]

We're done wrecking.

[John Haidt]

Hey, we're

[Kenny Olson]

how they became bums and hobos, right?

[Chris Reivers]

Depression.

[Kenny Olson]

Democratic program.

[Chris Reivers]

Depression era.

[John Haidt]

What about a pot? And every.

[Chris Reivers]

It was the Democrats.

[John Haidt]

Every pot.

[Chris Reivers]

That's a different thing.

[Matthew]

Wait a minute. Hoover wasn't a Democrat.

[Chris Reivers]

That's something else. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Bums.

[Kenny Olson]

Just saying.

[Chris Reivers]

Bums were looking for work on the pie route. They were looking because.

[John Haidt]

Why, why, why? Why were they.

[Joe Soucheray]

Dignity.

[John Haidt]

They had dignity. They weren't just taking.

[Chris Reivers]

And most bums did wear suits.

[Kenny Olson]

I would prefer. Could you call them hobos instead?

[Chris Reivers]

I like bum.

[John Haidt]

The corn cob pipe. The corn cob pipe.

[Chris Reivers]

They had dignity. They wore suits. They were somewhat tattered and they were somewhat soiled.

[John Haidt]

They needed darning.

[Chris Reivers]

They did. They were soiled. Soiled suits. And they. What kind of hat did they have?

[John Haidt]

They had the fedora. Yeah, the nice hat. Is that what he called fedora? Yeah, just a nice.

[Joe Soucheray]

And the stick with the handkerchief.

[Chris Reivers]

Yes.

[John Haidt]

When he got the pie.

[Chris Reivers]

Ma'.

[Mike Schoonover]

[John Haidt]

Thank you.

[Mike Schoonover]

Ma'.

[Matthew]

[Chris Reivers]

They said thank you for that pie.

[John Haidt]

Yes.

[Kenny Olson]

I'm seeing. Yeah, that's who I'm seeing.

[John Haidt]

What time's a Mr. Home?

[Chris Reivers]

Here, here, here. It's almost three.

[John Haidt]

Yeah.

[Chris Reivers]

You know, I don't need your sophomore.

[John Haidt]

No, no. I mean, cuz. He likes apple pie.

[Kenny Olson]

This is a serious topic.

[Chris Reivers]

Very serious.

[John Haidt]

Very serious.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay. Right now in Minneapolis, homelessness applications are open for small business recovery funds.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, God. How many flooded to that website?

[Chris Reivers]

Well, I went to the link provided that gives the instructions for applying for the funds. And they sound rigorous. They sound rigorous, you know, and they can get from three to ten grand. So the real fraudsters aren't even going to bother with this one. Peanut. Not enough money at stake for me.

[Joe Soucheray]

But if you're a safari restaurant, could you submit multiple applications?

[Chris Reivers]

I think so.

[John Haidt]

Sure you did.

[Chris Reivers]

But this is small potatoes. There's only 2 million available through Hennepin county and you have to demonstrate that your business suffered

[John Haidt]

so. They're like Lou nanny. They won't even deal with you unless you got all the money. Not just a couple million. He wants the hundreds of millions.

[Chris Reivers]

Geez, I had a great email on that.

[Joe Soucheray]

Do you want to do this then first?

[Chris Reivers]

Okay. Well, I mean, I guess I do,

[John Haidt]

but at this point, I wonder where it is.

[Chris Reivers]

Boy, I'll tell you what.

[Joe Soucheray]

You'll find it.

[Chris Reivers]

I'll tell you.

[Joe Soucheray]

I'm convinced.

[John Haidt]

You're gonna find me next.

[Chris Reivers]

A minute. Anyway, you can, you can go now to the New York or end up in New York. Doesn't make any difference. Would you like it's all the same. It's all the same.

[John Haidt]

Everything's the same guys.

[Chris Reivers]

We have the center of the American Experiment. They think about this better than I do because they come up with answers. And right now they're looking at your energy costs, which are through the roof. One of the things they're arguing is that we should be able to build nuclear plants because they're the safest and cleanest and most reliable carbon free energy on earth. But we have a law in Minnesota. We can't have new nuclear plants. We're one of the nine states in the union that has such a law. That's because of a net zero deal we got going here. We can't and you're just going to pay more. But the American Experiment is exploring this. What about nuclear plants? You can go to americanexperiment.org and click on the Take Action button. That'll put you in touch so you can tell your representative it's time to free the nukes and restore reliable, affordable energy to Minnesota because that's going through the roof like everything else in this godforsaken state. Americanexperiment.org, take action.

[Kenny Olson]

I guess we're going.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh worth the thing.

[Kenny Olson]

Here we go Mr. Natural Pause on

[Matthew]

It's the end of the world as

[Chris Reivers]

we know it and he feels fine.

[Joe Soucheray]

Thursday Cat Joe Sushir Gotta get going.

[Kenny Olson]

Speaking of pause, we're all in a hurry.

[John Haidt]

You never want that heating unit to go on pause even when it's 5060 degrees on. Cause you never know.

[Joe Soucheray]

This is a big week for welter

[John Haidt]

when the weather's gonna turn.

[Joe Soucheray]

You got heat and probably AC on Saturday.

[Joe Soucheray]

Good pipes today.

[Chris Reivers]

Let's have an exercise.

[John Haidt]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Chris Reivers]

I guess if there's anyone on this staff who might be able to come up with an answer, it's John Haidt.

[Matthew]

Oh God.

[Chris Reivers]

And this is true nationally, not just here.

[John Haidt]

What?

[Chris Reivers]

How is government improve your life? What can they point to?

[John Haidt]

Why are you calling Johnny Height for that?

[Chris Reivers]

Well, because he tends to believe in it more than I do. Who can point to something. We can keep it here. But nationally, for example, right now, the job growth is zero. Gas prices are up, Inflation is up, Food prices are up. What does the government do? That. When you get up in the morning, you're happy. You're happy that you know something that's been done that will serve the good of this. Yeah, it is, man. Thank you. What is? No, seriously, what. What good is? Has their time come and gone? No, we've never denied the need for a government on this show. We've never been anti government. We've never gone down that road. That's ridiculous.

[Joe Soucheray]

Anti growth of government.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, for. Because what could someone tell me when people got up in Minnesota today, what could they have looked to the government to have been thankful for?

[John Haidt]

Okay, but you're going to excuse the obvious. City lights, emergency services. That goes without saying.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, that's interesting, though. They're all falling in disrepair. The roads are in disrepair. The street lights are in disrepair.

[Joe Soucheray]

Can I tell you something?

[Chris Reivers]

Because of thieves stealing the copper and it's costly to replace that.

[Joe Soucheray]

I know now why St. Paul decided to just not plow the roads because all that snow was packing in the potholes. So you didn't notice the potholes.

[Chris Reivers]

Much smoother ride.

[John Haidt]

Oh, my God.

[Kenny Olson]

I'll even expand the question, Joe. When was the last time in Minnesota that the government did something really good for us?

[Matthew]

And we're talking state. Right.

[Chris Reivers]

We can go nationally if you want, but no, I mean local. State. Let's keep it local.

[Matthew]

If you want. For instance, my city does a great job. The city council does a great job. We have nothing in disrepair in Andover that I'm aware of.

[Chris Reivers]

And you would attribute the government for handling that?

[Matthew]

Very common sense. As far as development, okay, nothing goes crazy. They will not allow that to happen.

[Kenny Olson]

But that's on the local city government level. And I would agree that there's probably a lot of towns in Minnesota.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, mine's the same way. They do a nice job. Yeah, they do a nice job.

[Kenny Olson]

What about the state, though?

[Chris Reivers]

What happens then? The closer you get to the tallest

[Joe Soucheray]

buildings, you elect morons. Seriously, I know every member of the city council in Georgia.

[Chris Reivers]

That's a good point. In a small town, you're likely to know the person you voted for.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, his kid plays baseball with my kid.

[Chris Reivers]

That's not true. And the closer you get to the country's tallest building, for example, most of the city council people don't even have families. No children. I mean, children.

[Joe Soucheray]

Threat south by Southwest. Talking In.

[Chris Reivers]

But that still doesn't answer my question. Well, I guess John did answer.

[Matthew]

Well, not really. In a perfect world, we all have what we think the government should do, right? I mean, we could all sit and write an outline.

[Chris Reivers]

No, I don't even have that in mind.

[John Haidt]

Okay. What expectations do you have of the government aside from the localities. Water.

[Kenny Olson]

Keep it state. Keeping it with the state.

[John Haidt]

What expectations from the state do you have? Because you are independent, you have no demands on the state to provide you with extra services.

[Chris Reivers]

And the political class would look at me as an anomaly.

[John Haidt]

Right.

[Chris Reivers]

They would think that I'm an oppressor,

[John Haidt]

which is not the right word.

[Chris Reivers]

Right. But that's how it would be viewed.

[John Haidt]

You're lucky.

[Chris Reivers]

I am merely lucky.

[John Haidt]

You're lucky. You don't have to do that. Yes.

[Chris Reivers]

I can think of nothing that I want from the government that they're. I mean, they're providing. I guess what I would need, we have a fire department and a police department.

[John Haidt]

Lower tabs? Lower license tabs.

[Joe Soucheray]

Not according to what's her name. She wants to increase them four times.

[Chris Reivers]

Where did I read it? I was reading something about the legislature is debating whether a guy who owns more than one liquor store can take wine from one of the liquor stores and use that wine to beef up the stock of depleted wine in his other liquor store. Bear with me, that's forbidden. If you own more than one liquor store, you can't take wine from one and put it on the shelves of your other one. Because now the unions intervene and they say no, that's. You're basically constructing a warehousing situation. And that would take us out of the picture. In other words, the unions would demand that the liquor still must be picked up and delivered from a warehouse. And they have lobbyists and they appeal to the legislature. Even Lee Finke said, well, why in the hell can't somebody that owns two liquor stores move some wine to their other liquor store? Well, because it's on the books. I don't know when it was put on the books, but that's how arcane and involved the government is in your daily life.

[Joe Soucheray]

Can I share something with you? Because when Mike.

[Chris Reivers]

Take your main to what I'm talking about.

[Joe Soucheray]

When Mike and I used to do the beer show on 1500 and we talked to a lot of these brewers. The liquor laws in this state were basically from 1920 and they said we can't. They're basically telling us we can't grow our business, which is going to result in them getting more tax money. Because everything about that is exactly what you just said. None of it made any sense.

[Kenny Olson]

Now take that and put it in everything that the state is involved with. A great example would be getting the new weed laws out and running.

[Chris Reivers]

They can't do it.

[Kenny Olson]

It's been a disaster at every single step along the way.

[Chris Reivers]

The government is too big.

[Kenny Olson]

The health care they did for a few years, that was a disaster. That men care garbage.

[Chris Reivers]

Now you're getting back to my initial proposition, which was only half facetious. We have enabled a homeless population. We have enabled a drug addicted population. We have enabled a population dependent on the government for SNAP benefits. We have enabled everything you come up with. We provide free transportation on the light rail. And don't tell me it isn't free because those people aren't paying for it. So the government has become too sprawling, too big. Department of Human Services is so big and so arcane that they seize a rule that allows them to pretend they didn't think they could intervene when kickbacks were seen in fraud estimations. Well, we don't think we can handle that. That's like a group of Girl Scout mothers standing at the end of the driveway watching their daughters skim money from their collections and saying, boy, there's a lot of fraud in Girl Scout cookies. I wonder what we could. There's nothing we can do about it.

[John Haidt]

Not authorized.

[Chris Reivers]

It's just. It's too big. You can't. We're not going to fix this. The best you can do is. I said this last week. We're still allowed to make money in this country.

[John Haidt]

For how long?

[Chris Reivers]

Bear me out. We're still. We're allowed to. You can make as much as you want, but the rules placed on you for doing so increase exponentially every year.

[Kenny Olson]

Listen to this. A friend of mine is an electrician, owns his own business. He sent me this last week. In the state of Minnesota, if you want to work for an electrician and you don't have any schooling and you don't hold a journeyman's or a master's license, you must get a license from the state that says you're unlicensed.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, my God.

[Kenny Olson]

And then you have to go to continuing education every year to keep that unlicensed license up.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay, look at this program. Right now in Hennepin county, we have $2 million available to supplement the income you lost during the Metro surge. Now, granted, that was a horrible time and the ICE people that were in here behaved poorly. And I don't condone any of it, but we have Enabled. The government is there to enable you to not go to work. You didn't go to work. That was your decision to not go to work. Right. That's your decision.

[Joe Soucheray]

Paid family leave.

[Chris Reivers]

So we now, because we are the government, we're going to create a new fund for you to tap to make up for the money that you lost because you decided not to go to work. You weren't forced not to go to work. Now, granted, that's a tough. That's a tough one, too.

[Kenny Olson]

No, it's not.

[Chris Reivers]

Analyze.

[Kenny Olson]

No, no, it's not. It's easy. You just nailed it. Well, you decided not to go to work.

[Chris Reivers]

So. But. And sure enough, there's a program for that. There's a program for that. You stayed home. We'll create a program for you so you can, you can still succeed in this country by working hard. But they're going to run out of your money.

[Kenny Olson]

The harder you work, the more they take.

[Chris Reivers]

They're going to run out of your money, and then they won't know what to do because none of them ever worked. They won't know what to do. Right now, it's flush. Oh, man. We'll just pull this spigot and spill out another couple billion for this and that. But you're gonna. You can't continue this way.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, and just think of what Kenny just said about his. Was it your buddy Kenny the electrician?

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah.

[Joe Soucheray]

Basically, you gotta go through all that, all those loopholes to just get documentation that says you're unlicensed. And yet how many different programs like that exist? And yet they're fighting the fact that we don't want you to have an ID when you go.

[Kenny Olson]

In the case of the unlicensed license, I think it's just a money grab.

[Mike Schoonover]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

I think it's just to get your $20 fee or whatever the fee might be.

[Chris Reivers]

If this is something that people in support of Trump thought he would cure, they have a derangement syndrome. He hasn't done anything to cure what we're discussing.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, you know what?

[Chris Reivers]

Who does? That's my point. My point is that people place their hopes in. He'll solve this. No, we right now have zero growth.

[Kenny Olson]

Nobody can solve this.

[Matthew]

Earlier you said nothing's going to change. You're right. Because all these people, I don't care which party you pick, they're on that third rail that you're talking about.

[Chris Reivers]

They're third rail people. They're enjoying their life and they don't lead the life that we lead. And Trump's not the answer. Harris wouldn't have been the answer. Nobody's the answer. It's going to take a miracle answer to come along. Gavin Newsom's not the answer.

[Joe Soucheray]

God help us.

[Kenny Olson]

It's a complete crash of the government.

[Chris Reivers]

It is. It really is. And. And we're witnessing it play out in real time, that their incompetencies were always hidden from us. So long as we could afford them to be incompetent. We can no longer afford their incompetency. We just can't afford what's going up on the ride.

[Joe Soucheray]

We're too deep.

[Chris Reivers]

And it's happening right before our eyes. You are governed by people who say, we didn't think we could stop kickbacks. We didn't think we had to do anything about that. Are you kidding me? They've lost all sense of right and wrong. That's how powerful the third rail is. And I would submit to you that the likes of Sherene Gandhi, who is not even a federal official, she's the head of a local Department of Human Services state. She's third rail. She's protected from what we're not protected from.

[Joe Soucheray]

They all are.

[Chris Reivers]

Accountability, for example. Personal responsibility. Knowing right from wrong. Does that all disappear when you enter the political class? No. There are some politicians for whom that does not disappear. Are they getting anywhere? I'm unaware of it. This is why I asked the question. When you get up in the morning, what are you thankful for? That. Oh, my God. Thank God the government's still functioning. Because it does X, Y and Z. What? It doesn't do a damn thing.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, even look at it right now, it's not functioning. I mean, Matthew's dealing with it at the airport.

[Chris Reivers]

It's not functioning. And then they created this Family Leave Act. That won't function. It's already over budget.

[Joe Soucheray]

Speaking of Newsom and over budget, please tell me that you guys saw the story about the preserve bridge that they built in California.

[Chris Reivers]

I'm unaware of the bridge.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, they built a bridge over. I don't know if it's 5. It's a major freeway in California.

[Chris Reivers]

5's a pretty major one.

[Joe Soucheray]

So that wildlife could walk from. From this particular place to that particular place.

[Chris Reivers]

You gotta save animals. I'm on board so far.

[Joe Soucheray]

And the original budget for that was $50 million. Oh.

[Chris Reivers]

What'd it grow to?

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, it's up to 115.

[Matthew]

Yeah.

[Chris Reivers]

Anything built?

[Joe Soucheray]

Not even close to being.

[Chris Reivers]

Isn't that something?

[Joe Soucheray]

But they've got this Ding Ding bridge.

[Chris Reivers]

They got a picture of it, but

[Joe Soucheray]

it's exactly what you're talking about. Hey, this is only gonna cost us 50 mil. You could replace the wildlife bridge with the southwest light rail line. Everything's a joke.

[Chris Reivers]

Which is why I say no. Not one nickel for homelessness. At the very least, try it for six months and see what happens.

[Joe Soucheray]

I gotta find this story because it's hilarious.

[Chris Reivers]

At the very least, try it. Because what you're doing doesn't work. All you're doing is spending money on yourselves. That doesn't work to help a homeless person.

[Kenny Olson]

I can hear them now calling you a heartless bastard for hating the homeless.

[Chris Reivers]

No, I'm a heartless bastard because I have no obligation to provide you a living for pretending you're doing something.

[Kenny Olson]

Why would they let FAST get in the way of their narrative? You're a bastard. You hate the homeless. That's why you're pulling the funding. And that's how it would happen in real life.

[Chris Reivers]

Actually, I like people. And I would hope that my answer could provide them a kickstart. Because you can't turn to the government anymore. They're not there. Plus, you haven't. You've been turning to them and you haven't gotten a thing.

[Kenny Olson]

You would get run out of the government with your non governmental, anti governmental ideas.

[Chris Reivers]

Yes, I would.

[Kenny Olson]

You'd get kicked off the third rail.

[Joe Soucheray]

All right, now, everybody come with me on this journey.

[Chris Reivers]

Where are we going?

[Joe Soucheray]

We're gonna head to California. All right, the project manager of this particular bridge, Joe. Her name is Beth Pratt.

[Chris Reivers]

Beth Pratt.

[Joe Soucheray]

So imagine Beth, she's got the long, nice, long blonde, curly hair with the hard hat on and the pink vest, and she's holding a stuffed lion.

[Chris Reivers]

She has a lion. Do we know why she's holding a stuffed lion?

[Joe Soucheray]

Because this bridge was meant to help wildlife.

[Chris Reivers]

There are no lions in California.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, mountain lions.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, there are, but, you know, maybe

[Joe Soucheray]

that's what this is supposed to be.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay, maybe it's a mountain lion.

[Joe Soucheray]

So she's talking about how this is supposed to be an animal sanctuary. And I'm not joking. It's right over a major freeway. I'll find out which one it is. But let's hear from Beth for a moment, shall we?

[Chris Reivers]

Sure. Look at this.

[Mike Schoonover]

This is a full fledged habitat for

[Chris Reivers]

everything from mountain lions to monarch butterflies. But you can also see the various

[Mike Schoonover]

habitats being designed here, from rock habitat

[Chris Reivers]

to different slopes where animals large and small will not just travel over this, but actually live. What's left? Well, we're about to enter the final stage of construction. This Structure is pretty much done, but

[Mike Schoonover]

we have to build the secondary structure

[Chris Reivers]

over Agora Road so that the animals will not touch pavement at all. And what you're seeing. No. Now you said it wasn't begun. She said it's almost done.

[Kenny Olson]

Are you referring.

[Joe Soucheray]

That was from a while ago.

[Chris Reivers]

Yes.

[Kenny Olson]

The Wallace Annenberg Wildlife Crossing.

[Chris Reivers]

Yes.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes.

[Kenny Olson]

They're calling it the 114 million dollar butterfly bridge.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yep. Where the, you know, the family of mountain lions is going to set up

[Chris Reivers]

shop and live there. Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

That's not something you can make fun of, Chris, because these wildlife bridges are all over the western states and they're very successful.

[Joe Soucheray]

I'm not.

[Kenny Olson]

You need to focus on the ridiculous dollar amount.

[Joe Soucheray]

That's. I guess what I was focusing on

[Kenny Olson]

nonsense that she just said.

[Chris Reivers]

Was that her music or did you add that?

[Joe Soucheray]

No, that's just part of the storyline.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

Yeah, bro.

[Chris Reivers]

Did she have a hard hat on? She did, yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

And it looks like it crosses the 101.

[Matthew]

It's the 101.

[Joe Soucheray]

101. Okay. Thank you, Chris.

[Chris Reivers]

Where always in the LA area.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[John Haidt]

Chris always say that you added the element so it makes like you worked harder. Okay. I'm still teaching you. So, yes, I went through different tracks

[Joe Soucheray]

trying to find something that was symbolic of the moment for the future.

[John Haidt]

Okay.

[Joe Soucheray]

Okay. Thank you, Matthew.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, one thing we've learned.

[Kenny Olson]

I would put, you know what I would do, Chris? I would put my deer stand on that bridge. I would sit there with my Elmer Fudd hat on.

[Chris Reivers]

The one thing we learned is that people in the public third rail are really, really lousy at budgeting. Whether it's a school district or a bridge project or whatever it is, they are lousy budgeteers.

[Matthew]

How about a war effort?

[Chris Reivers]

War effort? Yeah. We need another 200 million billion.

[Matthew]

Billion.

[Joe Soucheray]

Wait till the very diverse St. Paul City Council gets a hold of this wildlife bridge. Above that freeway 94 is going to be reimagined after all.

[Kenny Olson]

Rethinking 94.

[Chris Reivers]

Reimagining.

[Joe Soucheray]

Hey, come on. And we can set up a homeless camp on this bridge.

[John Haidt]

We got homeless wildlife.

[Chris Reivers]

That's it.

[Joe Soucheray]

We just solved it.

[Chris Reivers]

Bears have been as close as St Agnes Church.

[Joe Soucheray]

They hungry. Come on in.

[John Haidt]

No, they're in the corner.

[Kenny Olson]

There's no animals in the St. Paul Bridge, Joe. It's all homeless. It's the unhoused.

[Matthew]

That's it.

[Joe Soucheray]

That's how we're going to solve homelessness in St. Paul, Minneapolis. We're going to put them on a bridge.

[Chris Reivers]

I would say. I would try it. I would say from here on out, The City of St. Paul provides no public funding whatsoever to address homelessness. We have tried that. It doesn't work. We have completely shut it off. Turned it off. Wait six months and see what happens. It couldn't be worse than it is today. It couldn't be worse because the homeless today aren't getting any money anyway. There's nothing anyone can show me that's been accomplished.

[Joe Soucheray]

Plus, we just wrapped up winter, so

[Chris Reivers]

put the signs everywhere. From this moment on, no homeless funds will be provided by the city of St. Paul. Zero. See what happens in six months?

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, you're gonna have protests up the wazoo.

[Chris Reivers]

Too bad.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, I think you've solved this. You've effectively solved the whole.

[Chris Reivers]

I think so. I think so.

[Kenny Olson]

Tomorrow is what, Global warming.

[Chris Reivers]

No, there. I don't have to solve that because that's not a problem. Climate always changes. Always has.

[Joe Soucheray]

Joe just gets up at a podium, it's done.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah. It's over.

[Kenny Olson]

I don't hear another word.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, that's how I would do it.

[Joe Soucheray]

That's right.

[Chris Reivers]

I would get something done.

[Matthew]

Done.

[Kenny Olson]

Okay. Okay, Mayor.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

You can't even control us.

[Chris Reivers]

So.

[Matthew]

What the hell are you talking about?

[Chris Reivers]

You like pie? I do. And that's how we used to take care of bumps.

[John Haidt]

Right?

[Joe Soucheray]

Put it on the window sill.

[Kenny Olson]

You mean hobos?

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, bums.

[Kenny Olson]

They're hobos.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay, hobos. I know. Guys, what's the town in Iowa?

[Kenny Olson]

Ames.

[Chris Reivers]

No, the town. No, the whole. The hobo capital of the world is in Iowa. Seriously?

[Matthew]

Waterloo.

[Chris Reivers]

No. Shoot.

[Kenny Olson]

John, quick, what town was Angie from?

[Chris Reivers]

I don't think she was from the bum capital.

[John Haidt]

She was from Altoona.

[Chris Reivers]

Brit, Iowa. Thank you, Gabe. Brit, Iowa. I know guys who own the bank in Brit. Iowa.

[Joe Soucheray]

Where the heck is Brit?

[Chris Reivers]

The hobo festival every summer reprises exactly what I'm talking about.

[Joe Soucheray]

They have a hobo museum.

[Chris Reivers]

They got it all. And this is where you could get a pie, right?

[Joe Soucheray]

Boys, I know where we're going on our next road trip. Go check out the hobo museum.

[Chris Reivers]

I know guys who own a bank in. In Brit. It's their headquarters. And it's. It's the hobo capital of the United States.

[Kenny Olson]

Just. It makes the poorest town in the country. You know, the banker.

[Chris Reivers]

It's not the poorest town in the country. It's a town that. That's capitalized on its history.

[Kenny Olson]

All those maggots in that town. Oh, your buddy Money?

[Chris Reivers]

No, no.

[Kenny Olson]

He's got the note for all of their cardboard houses.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, no. They have a big to do. Every summer they have a festival and we know they get the pie and the whole deal.

[Matthew]

They have a hobo auction.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah, they got everything, John. They're. They're in.

[John Haidt]

What do you mean by that?

[Chris Reivers]

I bet there's no people in Brit island.

[Mike Schoonover]

You know know.

[Matthew]

Here's Joe's reason. They have a hobo classic car show.

[Chris Reivers]

There you are.

[John Haidt]

Oh, I bet those cars.

[Chris Reivers]

There you are.

[John Haidt]

I bet they've got rust on. I bet they have the rust.

[Kenny Olson]

No, they're like Lebowski's car. Some homeless guy uses it for a

[Joe Soucheray]

bathroom just outside of Mason City.

[Kenny Olson]

They had an orgy in there.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah, well, at least I'm thinking hobo

[Matthew]

king and queen coronation.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, boy.

[John Haidt]

What about the hobo auction? How does that work? Give me five.

[Matthew]

Five.

[John Haidt]

Give me ten.

[Joe Soucheray]

Ten.

[Kenny Olson]

Buy yourself a hobo, get yourself a pie.

[Joe Soucheray]

Have you ever been an auctioneer, Matthew? That was pretty good.

[John Haidt]

I have. I am available for it.

[Chris Reivers]

[Kenny Olson]

Positive. Thursday is brought to us by Schoonover Body Works and Autocare, as it always has been since the beginning of time. Schoonover located right there in Shoreview, 1060 County Road E. Mike is here with us. Hi, Mike. How are you?

[Mike Schoonover]

Hi, Kenny. I am good. On a day like today, how can you be bad? Holy smokes.

[Kenny Olson]

Wow, it's beautiful. So rural versus metro. Which body shop am I bringing my truck to? I've always said if I got in a crash up here, if I hit a deer in my driveway, I would definitely bring it all the way to the Twin Cities to schoonovers.

[Mike Schoonover]

Well, I appreciate that, Kenny. Yeah, there's a lot of advantages of doing that. Whether you hit a deer or a bear or a turkey or a goose or a swan. We've seen them all and we can handle them all no matter what Joe says.

[Kenny Olson]

Thank you, you guys. Actually, I did. You know what I hit up here? I hit a pheasant and it destroyed my grill. I don't know if you remember this. You might not. And I went out and I bought. I bought an aftermarket grill and I went down to schoon over bodywork, body works and auto care and I made you guys install that grill on my truck when that stupid pheasant destroyed it.

[Matthew]

It.

[Mike Schoonover]

Yeah, those pesky little critters are just. They get everywhere. So yeah, I remember we did a job for a customer that hit a dove over the South St. Paul Bridge and.

[Chris Reivers]

Or hit up.

[Mike Schoonover]

Hit a bunch of them, but one of them was still in the grill and it was unfortunately still alive, but it was stuck and there was no survival for it. So it was, it was, it was, it was a bad deal anyway.

[Chris Reivers]

I wonder.

[Kenny Olson]

That's part of the job description. I guess occasionally you're gonna have to remove a half dinner critter from the grill of a customer's car.

[Mike Schoonover]

I still, I. Now, now, now we're awakening old wounds because I still remember this thing looking out at us going, what are you guys doing? What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?

[Kenny Olson]

Are you here to help?

[Chris Reivers]

Oh man.

[Mike Schoonover]

So anyway, no.

[Chris Reivers]

Anything to eat? Yeah, yeah.

[Mike Schoonover]

No. Kenny, you know, there's a lot of shop owners in outstate rural Minnesota that I'm friends with and that I admire greatly. But to such his point yesterday, we can do everything in house. We don't need to really send anything out of our, out of our shops. So you know, metro shops have the ability of being able to have things close by. Unfortunately, those rural shops got to send them out to another town or another city or whatever that might be. But anyway, in our world we, we keep it under one roof. So we have our own collision mechanic who does all the steering and suspension and airbags and glass. We have our own ADAS technician who handles all the whistles and bells that'll, that'll keep you on the road and keep you from running into other people after we're done fixing it. And yeah, I mean Body technicians, painters, you name it. We, we try to do everything under our roof here and really easy and convenient and save money. On top of that.

[Kenny Olson]

You've been around since 1938. Have you done the math on that recently, Mike Schoonover?

[Mike Schoonover]

That's 90 years, Kenny.

[Kenny Olson]

That's 88 years. 88 years of fixing cars and making customers happy on the east side. And that's why they're, they are the official shop of GL and the crabby coffee shop shop always rated as one of the top joints in the metro and always number one with GL. The website is schoonoverbodyworks.com. thank you, Mike.

[Mike Schoonover]

Thanks, Kenny. Thanks, jailers, everybody. Have a great day.

[Joe Soucheray]

The EARTH IS NOT YOUR MOTHER the Joe Sugiray show.

[Chris Reivers]

Here's John Height.

[Matthew]

Well, thank you, Joe. This news is brought to you by North American Banking Company. I was already, you know, the news is this. There's a lot of weird stuff in the news this morning. I was kind of depressed and the first 48 minutes of the show didn't help me much. How about you guys?

[Chris Reivers]

Let me tell you something else.

[Joe Soucheray]

Let me tell you something right now

[Chris Reivers]

in case you don't have this in your news.

[Matthew]

Okay?

[Chris Reivers]

The market's only down 400 points.

[Matthew]

Is that it?

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes.

[Matthew]

Gas about $23 a gallon.

[John Haidt]

I'm taking all my money investing in bitcoin.

[Joe Soucheray]

Today is a good day to listen to Mr. Money Talk, by the way, at the end of the show.

[Chris Reivers]

They're all good days to listen to me.

[Joe Soucheray]

That's a very good point. That's a very good point.

[Matthew]

A sports note or two here to start things off. The Golden Gophers are moving on from men's hockey coach Bob Motsko after eight seasons as firing comes one day after Mark Coyle announced the departure of longtime women's hockey coach Brad Frost. In his time with the Gophers, Matsuko led Minnesota to Back to back NCAA Frozen Fours in 2021 and 22 and 2022, 23, three Big Ten Conference championships and five NCAA tournament appearances. However, things did not go well this past season. No, they posted an 1122 and 3 record. The program's first losing season in 16 years and its worst record in more than 50 years.

[Chris Reivers]

Let me just say that any school in the country that plays hockey is as likely to get a great hockey player as Minnesota once did. The days of Minnesota automatically having the best players is long gone.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, look at just what you're competing against just in this state. Now that St. Thomas is going to become a player.

[Chris Reivers]

Got kids raised in Phoenix who are becoming NHL players and one other sports

[Matthew]

note, and I don't know what this one means. I'm sure we'll be debating this until the season starts. The Vikings have signed Carson Wentz again,

[Joe Soucheray]

so I think this means that they will be trading JJ McCarthy.

[Chris Reivers]

That means JJ gone.

[Matthew]

Moving on. Yeah, moving on from JJ, probably. In news on the legislative front, almost everyone agrees that Hennepin Healthcare's downtown Minneapolis hospital HCMC is the state's premier Level 1 trauma center in the Legislature. Were talking about that last night. Yesterday, the House Tax Committee chair, Aisha Gomez said, if you get a major burn, you want to go to hmc. If you get shot by a gun, you want to go to hcmc. It operates the busiest emergency departments in Minnesota with over 100,000 visits annually, said Michelle Benson of the Minnesota Hospital Association. Its patient population is more than 75% publicly insured or uninsured. HCMC's financial health, though, is on life support, mostly due to a massive burden of uncompensated care for patients with no insurance. The cost of that care for HCMC totaled $90 million in 2024, the most recent figures available. It represented 20% of all uncompensated care in Minnesota in 2024. House tax committee Chair Greg David said the solution is going to come from this committee. It'll have to come from right here. Here. No bill was heard in the Tax Committee yesterday, but the issue will be debated later this year in the House and Senate. From the Star Tribune, a depressing story about, well, human beings in general. I know no editorial comment from the newsman, but this one Rochester area man has been charged with two felonies after he shot his neighbors two dogs in January.

[Chris Reivers]

What

[Matthew]

Olmsted County Attorney's Office has charged 67 year old Craig Reichel of Chatfield with two counts of felony mistreatment of animals and two gross misdemeanor counts of third degree damage to property. Reichel is the founder of Rochester based Reichel Foods, which makes dip and sticks and other snacks. Michael and Gail, trustee had been reviewing their legal options to go after their neighbor after their Golden Doodle Sadie and Great Pyrenees Burn Bertha wandered away more than two months ago and didn't come back home, according to court records and an online fundraiser. The dogs wandered onto Reichel's property, likely attracted by a deer carcass pile that he used to bait and shoot coyotes. The trustees had let the dogs outside for a bathroom break around 7:30 in the evening they said, but the dogs didn't come back. The pair searched the area that night, and the next morning they found Bertha's body and followed a blood trail to the carcass pile on Reichel's property. Reichel initially told neighbors he didn't see the dogs, but when questioned by Olmsted county sheriff's deputies, he said, yeah, he shot both white dogs because they were chasing deer and threatening his pets. Court records say. Reichel later told the deputy his own dogs weren't actually even outside. But he said the trustees pets were still running at deer trail. Camera photographs obtained by deputy showed both dogs just standing near the deer carcass pile calmly at the time they were shot, according to the complaint. Complaint trustee also said his dogs couldn't have been chasing after deer as Bertha had arthritis and couldn't run more than a few steps.

[Chris Reivers]

Not this story so much. But on a daily basis, most of the news we hear, it's almost as though we should apologize to God.

[Matthew]

Tough to argue with.

[Joe Soucheray]

Like our bad. We're sorry for.

[Chris Reivers]

Sorry God.

[John Haidt]

Yeah, like an act of contrition.

[Mike Schoonover]

Who?

[Matthew]

I'm.

[Kenny Olson]

I'm curious. I don't know if I want to fight about this one or not.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, then don't side are you on

[Kenny Olson]

here with this last story?

[John Haidt]

Not the devils. Not the devils.

[Chris Reivers]

People who got their dog shot.

[Kenny Olson]

The dogs that were trespassing on the other.

[Chris Reivers]

Wow.

[Matthew]

Dog that could barely walk.

[John Haidt]

They can't read.

[Chris Reivers]

No trespassing around on another man's land.

[Matthew]

On tape.

[Kenny Olson]

They're sitting there just, oh, they're trespassing on another person's property.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, I'm glad I don't live near you and my little pooch gets in your ear.

[Kenny Olson]

So am I. Yeah.

[Joe Soucheray]

What happens if the Russian neighbors Kenny's dealing with?

[Chris Reivers]

Well, you got cow at the end of the driveway. Hey, my cow.

[Kenny Olson]

We've had three different dogs hanging out at our house this winter. I've never had that before.

[Chris Reivers]

I'm surprised you didn't shoot him.

[Kenny Olson]

I would never shoot a dog.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, you said you would. Was trespassing.

[Mike Schoonover]

No.

[Chris Reivers]

You admitted you're a dog murderer. Christie.

[Kenny Olson]

Not at any point.

[Chris Reivers]

The dog deserves you and Christy, huh?

[Kenny Olson]

I just asked a simple question.

[Matthew]

Yeah, I. Sometimes after the show's over, you apologize to God. No. I can't decide if I should be mad at Kenny or if he's just, you know, fooling around my head. This is one of those situations.

[Kenny Olson]

The dogs, they were trespassing.

[Chris Reivers]

That's too bad, Kenny. That's too bad. John, do you have another story.

[Joe Soucheray]

What happens if a nice cute raccoon wanders under your yard? Can't even. What happens?

[Chris Reivers]

They're having raccoon for dinner.

[Joe Soucheray]

Bleeping trash panda. He calls it dinner.

[Matthew]

After he was previously sentenced for a crash that killed five women in south Minneapolis, Derek Thompson now has been given a federal sentence of over 14 years on different charges. These are possession charges. Court records from the federal court show Thompson was sentenced to 171 months or 14 and a quarter years for federal charges stemming from the crash in 2023 in which drugs and a weapon were found inside his car. You'll Remember back in 2025, Thompson was previously sentenced to murder more than 58 years in state prison after he was found guilty of 15 charges relating to the deaths in the crash in a Minnesota courtroom.

[Chris Reivers]

See? Sorry.

[Kenny Olson]

73 years.

[Chris Reivers]

Good.

[Matthew]

Yeah. And I couldn't find anywhere on any storage.

[Chris Reivers]

Die in prison, if not sooner.

[Matthew]

Yeah, if they run concurrent or not.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, and recall, didn't he have another case in. Was it California?

[Chris Reivers]

Yes.

[Joe Soucheray]

Where he. It's like, well, why was he out in the first place?

[Chris Reivers]

Well, we don't. We don't put people up. We don't hold people accountable.

[John Haidt]

Does this.

[Chris Reivers]

You got to do it. You got to do something that bad before you get put in jail.

[John Haidt]

Does the state cut deals or does he have to serve all those.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, God, I hope he serves the whole time.

[John Haidt]

Well, I do, too, but I want to make sure.

[Chris Reivers]

I don't know. What's your name? Kevin. Kevin.

[John Haidt]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

Mayor Jacob Fry.

[Chris Reivers]

Sorry. God.

[John Haidt]

I saw RT at the airport. By the way, he says hello.

[Chris Reivers]

Hi, R.T. how are you? Those were the days.

[John Haidt]

I told him that, too. I said, suit should have you back in a second.

[Joe Soucheray]

Did he cross country ski to the airport?

[John Haidt]

He did not. Burkabine.

[Matthew]

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry runs through the streets of the city dressed in dress clothes and wearing running shoes in a new video inviting people to visit Minneapolis.

[Chris Reivers]

Sure. Stop at one of the coffee shops.

[Matthew]

Well, the number of federal agents there has dwindled of you.

[John Haidt]

Here's our former Kmart on Lake Street.

[Kenny Olson]

Is he running from a crime scene or to a crime scene during it?

[Matthew]

After the surge, the governor, the mayor.

[Joe Soucheray]

I gotta see this.

[Matthew]

Took on the role of a spokesman for the city, doing multiple interviews with national news outlets. Now the city and Meet Minneapolis. The city's Convention and Visitors Bureau have made a video in which the mayor is front and center talking about how he fell in love with the city. City while running in the Twin Cities Marathon.

[Chris Reivers]

Fell in love with Minneapolis while running the Twin Cities Marathon.

[Matthew]

That's what I said.

[Chris Reivers]

So the best way to experience. Turn that guy off.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, I didn't even think you would last that long.

[Matthew]

The video is circulating right now on Social.

[John Haidt]

You got the brand new sneakers on.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, yeah. Oh, he's at Target Field. Oh, no, he's walking across the the bridge. That's nice.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, he's getting gunfight shots.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't think I hear anything. Oh, now he's at the Walker.

[John Haidt]

That's shorts or long pants?

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, he's in dress pants.

[Matthew]

Yeah, dress cl. You listen to my news, rook.

[Joe Soucheray]

Come on.

[John Haidt]

I was more worried about the news.

[Joe Soucheray]

Now he's going around the lake.

[Matthew]

Let's take a break. Chris, tear yourself away from that video now, because you have to do a

[Joe Soucheray]

commercial for us, for North American Banking Company. You know what? Bilski's not going to get all dressed up and go running from bank to bank. That's not what he does. You know why? Because they are genuine at North American Banking Company and they've been doing difference. To create what?

[Matthew]

Thanks, Chris. In the Middle east, as they threatened yesterday, Iran intensified its attacks on oil and natural gas facilities around the Gulf, raising the stakes in the war that's sending shockwaves through the global economy. The cost of a barrel of oil went up to $119 as of this morning. The strikes in retaliation for an Israeli attack on a key Iranian gas field, sent fuel prices soaring and risked Iran's Arab neighbors risk drawing excuse me, Iran's Arab neighbors directly into the conflict. Conflict. The Pentagon, meanwhile, is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the war, a sizable amount that's certain to be met with questions from Congress, which would need to approve any new money. The department sent the request to the White House, according to a senior administration official. Asked about the figure at a press conference today, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not directly confirm the amount, saying it could change and adding, it takes more money to kill bad guys.

[Chris Reivers]

Yep, takes a lot of money to kill bad guys.

[Matthew]

It's an extraordinarily high number. Comes on top of extra funding the Defense Department already got last year in President Trump's big tax cuts bill. Such a request would need to be approved by Congress, and it's not at all clear such spending would have political support from both parties. The nation's debt, by the way, this week has surged past a record $39

[Chris Reivers]

trillion, and nobody seems to care about that.

[Matthew]

It appears Russia is supplying oil for Cuba. They're covertly shipping oil to Cuba, using deceptive shipping tactics to bypass U.S. sanctions, according to maritime intelligence reports. And as the island grapples with fuel shortages and power outages, one alleged delivery came amid one of Cuba's worst energy crises and ahead of a grid collapse on March 16, which left roughly 2010 million people without electricity, according to Dmitry Peskov of the Kremlin. He said, we are ready to provide all possible assistance to Cuba. He said that at a briefing two days ago, according to the Moscow Times.

[Chris Reivers]

Say all you Marxists on the Minneapolis Council, explain to me how Cuba has flourished over the last 65 years. What's improved? Anything? Okay, thank you. Go ahead. John

[Matthew]

Cesar Chavez, co founder of the United Farm Workers, has been accused of sexually abusing girls and women connected to the farm worker movement in the 1960s and 1970s. An investigation published by the New York Times yesterday described a pattern of misconduct that complicates Chavez's legacy as a US labor rights figure. Dolores Huarta, UFW co founder, said she explained experienced two sexual encounters with him in the 1960s. She described the first as manipulative and coercive and the second as forced. Huarta is now 95 years old, said she previously stayed silent to protect the labor movement. Chavez died in 1993, credited with organizing farm workers and advancing Latino civil rights, helping to secure better wages, safer working conditions and legal protections. Several other women also told of being abused by Sheriff Chavez when they were in their teens. Marches to honor Chavez were called off in Austin Texas, Tucson, Arizona and elsewhere. Officials in multiple states said they would consider renaming the scores of streets and schools named in his honor. Governor Gavin Newson of California said none of us knew, noting that he planned to discuss with legislators what of the Rename Caesar Chavez Day on March 31st here in the Twin Cities. The board of directors and school directors of Academia Cesar Chavez, which operates elementary and middle school programs at its School on St. Paul's east side, called the allegations deeply troubling, saying these developments are profoundly concerning. We take any allegations of harm, especially those involving young people and children, with the utmost seriousness.

[Chris Reivers]

You know, they're getting windmilled, aren't they? They don't know what to do.

[John Haidt]

Now, Caesar had 12 children, children by. By one woman with his first wife. He had eight kids.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah, he's a busy guy.

[John Haidt]

Yeah, he had a lot on his mind.

[Kenny Olson]

I again have a question.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay.

[Kenny Olson]

Are any of these allegations proven?

[Chris Reivers]

I don't know. John. John's your news guy. Why don't you ask him?

[Kenny Olson]

I was actually asking him. You were biting in.

[Matthew]

Prove it. In what way?

[Kenny Olson]

Well, I. I don't like John. Like Joe said, they're getting their windmilling themselves. But do they have proof that he actually did these horrendous acts?

[Chris Reivers]

We have eyewitnesses.

[Matthew]

The woman is the hoard. The woman is very well respected within the labor movement. Has been for 60 years.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

So I, you know, I guess she's an eyewitness.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, they're not going to knock him off the pedestal he's on for no reason. Reason. He's good for business.

[John Haidt]

Later said that Chavez engaged in adultery during the latter part of the 70s. They kept this knowledge quiet so as not to damage his reputation as a devoted Catholic man. After Helen, his wife, read a love letter written by Chavez to another woman, she temporarily left La Paz, lived with one of his daughters in Delano. Chavez denied the affairs.

[Joe Soucheray]

Later.

[John Haidt]

I don't think it's Minnesota it. He denied the affairs and later convinced his wife to return to their home.

[Chris Reivers]

Sweet talker that season. Yeah.

[John Haidt]

Deny everything.

[Matthew]

There's always been stories about the adultery and that. That wouldn't bother me. I don't care about the adultery. But if, you know, you got kids

[Chris Reivers]

involved, then, yeah, having sex with. They're not going to. They're not going to throw away their breadwinner without one hell of a good reason.

[Matthew]

Just so you know, if you guys weren't aware or toward the end here of National Introverts Week.

[Mike Schoonover]

Huh?

[Chris Reivers]

You wouldn't know it from this show.

[Matthew]

The week is celebrated during the third full week of March every year. It was founded by Matthew Pollard, author of the book the Introverts Edge.

[Chris Reivers]

Huh.

[Matthew]

He's also the host of a podcast Everyone Celebrated by. It was founded to appreciate introverts all over the world for their qualities and to encourage them to stand proud in their identity entities rather than comparing themselves to extroverts. It's not only extroverts who get ahead in life and reap all the benefits. So it's high time they said that many stereotypes around introverts be smashed and the record set straight.

[Chris Reivers]

John, thank you.

[Kenny Olson]

I'm not an introvert. I'm aloof. It's not that I'm afraid of you. I just don't care about you.

[Chris Reivers]

You just walk around your yard with a gun and shoot dogs in your underwear.

[Kenny Olson]

In your underwear out that. All the animals have been talking about me and the things they've been saying about me are not nice.

[Chris Reivers]

You had a guest yesterday who talks to animals.

[Kenny Olson]

He understands a bit what they're saying. He has translated. Yeah. What animals say does he believe the

[Chris Reivers]

animals talk about us non stop.

[Kenny Olson]

They really do.

[Matthew]

Really?

[Kenny Olson]

And the spirit speech crosses over species lines. So when the squirrels start bitching about me in my backyard, the birds are paying attention. Yeah. Yeah. He's a jack. Oh yeah. You should have seen him the other day. Oh, yeah.

[John Haidt]

So it's kind of like, can you believe this guy?

[Kenny Olson]

When he comes out the back door, you should definitely run. Run fast.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah. John, thank you.

[John Haidt]

Just like his roommate.

[Matthew]

You're welcome.

[John Haidt]

Well,

[Chris Reivers]

[Kenny Olson]

I'm sorry.

[Joe Soucheray]

That's okay.

[Chris Reivers]

Jesus.

[Joe Soucheray]

In conjunction with the basketball season, New York starts today. Nut Madness. In conjunction with March Madness.

[Chris Reivers]

Joe, Games are already underway.

[Joe Soucheray]

I know. My dad is texting me. Are you serious seeing this? No, dad, we're working. I'm at work. I'm not watching college basketball. I will be later though, by the way. In any event, you can get them at Fratelloni's hardware and garden stores, Mac's Hardware, Lunds and Byerlys, Kowalski's markets, Cub Foods, County Market up on John Heights Way and cockburn's. And also 700 different quick trip locations. Carries. We are nuts. It's a wonderful family owned operation making quality right here in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Place your order and let them know you heard about them on the Garage Logic podcast.

[Chris Reivers]

You know who I have to win the whole thing? Arizona, St. Louis, Billikens.

[Joe Soucheray]

Really?

[John Haidt]

I have them in an upset, but not going all the way.

[Chris Reivers]

I have them going all the way.

[Joe Soucheray]

You always pick a school that a kid went to, don't you?

[Chris Reivers]

Well, I'm loyal to the investments I've made.

[John Haidt]

The Jesuits. The Jesuits

[Chris Reivers]

St. Louis has a guy named Robbie of Villa who's a dork. He looks like a dork. Okay. He's considered the best slow guy in all of bas basketball. He lumbers up and down the court. But technically the guy is brilliant.

[Matthew]

Is this the guy they call the white Jabar?

[Chris Reivers]

Might be. He's got the goggles.

[Matthew]

Yep.

[Chris Reivers]

He's. He's really fun to watch and he's really good, but a lot of times he doesn't make it down for the next play. He's got a lovely wait for me kind of a thing.

[Joe Soucheray]

Okay. My favorite part about March Madness is how obsessed you become with a random school that goes on a run. You do it almost every single year.

[Chris Reivers]

That's my hope for the Billikens.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, well, you know a lot about that school. But what was the school that beat Kentucky a couple years ago? Was it St. Mary something or other? And you became obsessed with the school?

[Chris Reivers]

Oh yeah. They operated out of a little gym in New Jersey or something. Oh, yeah, yeah. Say, I always wait for this report every year. It just gives me a warm feeling.

[John Haidt]

I love.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, this is the world's happiness report.

[John Haidt]

Oh, good. Yes.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, it's Thursday.

[John Haidt]

It's uplifting.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah. And like to see where. I always like to see where the United States ranks, you know, in the world happy rankings. And it's put out by the well Being Research center at the University of Oxford. Finland is the happiest country in the world for the nation. Ninth year in a row.

[John Haidt]

Finland are really happy, huh?

[Chris Reivers]

One thing that occurs to me is that, and I'm very serious when I say this, I would love to know, do they not watch the news in Finland? Seriously, Is there a finished version of Fox and cnn? And if so, do they ignore it? Or better yet, is there no Finnish version of CNN and Fox?

[John Haidt]

I bet there's a version, but there's really no. They're not controversial.

[Kenny Olson]

Think about it, what are they involved with globally?

[John Haidt]

There's nothing that they.

[Kenny Olson]

They are the ultimate flyover country, are they not?

[Chris Reivers]

Well, yeah. And they're happy about it.

[Kenny Olson]

That's why they're happy.

[Chris Reivers]

They're happy they.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, they're not mixed up in any of the BS right now.

[Chris Reivers]

This report apparently highlights how life is evaluated from those under 25 years old in the U. S Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and let's see. New entry to the top five on the list is Costa Rica. Costa rica. That's the fourth happiest place in the world. They were 23rd place in 2023.

[John Haidt]

Got it.

[Chris Reivers]

They're getting happier. Costa Bleeping Rica. That's right. And in Costa Rica we think it's because of the quality and their social lives and the stability. And this is according to J. Emmanue, an Oxford economics professor who directs the well Being Research center and co edits the World Happiness Report. Latin America more generally has strong family ties, strong social ties, a great level of social capital. It's just a really nice place, Matt.

[John Haidt]

A happy place.

[Chris Reivers]

Where is the US I wonder. Let's see if we can find the US 136 the World Happy Report Report. Let's see. Country rankings were based on answers given to around 100,000 people in 140 countries and territories. I would love to have gotten that survey. I did not. The study was done in partnership with the analytics team from Gallup and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network. Let's see. I'm not finding where the US is is. Wait, I have another page.

[John Haidt]

Maybe they had no opinion.

[Kenny Olson]

It's between.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, I got it. The 2026 rankings mark the second year in a row that no English speaking country appears in the top 10. The United States is in 23rd place as the happiest place on earth. Canada is 25th and Britain 29th. Oh yeah.

[John Haidt]

In Europe.

[Matthew]

Interesting.

[Chris Reivers]

Finland number one year in a row.

[Matthew]

May I bring this back around to earlier in the show?

[Chris Reivers]

Sure.

[Matthew]

The I went to the AI overview saying why is. Why are Finlanders so happy? And number one, high levels of trust. Fins have immense trust in their government, public institutions and each other with high levels of social cohesion Commies.

[John Haidt]

Is that where they wear the wooden clogs?

[Matthew]

Well, I don't speak Kenny the third One is robust welfare state. The state provides free education, affordable, high quality health care, strong social safety nets.

[Chris Reivers]

So what about homeless people?

[Kenny Olson]

Do they have. Les Joe calls them bums.

[Chris Reivers]

Bums.

[Kenny Olson]

They have bums.

[Matthew]

What?

[Chris Reivers]

Wouldn't it be great gratifying to have a high level of trust in government? Wouldn't that. That can see where that would contribute to happiness?

[Kenny Olson]

Can't even.

[Chris Reivers]

I can't imagine it.

[John Haidt]

Is there a time in our. In America when we did, do you think?

[Chris Reivers]

I'm sure. I'm sure there has been periods where we were very content and reasonably certain that government was acting in our best interest.

[Kenny Olson]

Only when Nixon was here, that was straight laced.

[Chris Reivers]

Maybe the 50s, I don't know. Truman and Eisenhower, pre Agent Orange. Abe Lincoln, you know, there's a lot

[Matthew]

of presidents makes a point.

[Chris Reivers]

Pre Vietnam probably, maybe pre Vietnam. But the Finns, now you're condemning them as commies. It's a quasi. Yeah, it's a quasi socialism. But here's the deal. You could get away with those kinds of public programs in a country. Well, look up the population of Finland, John. Look up the population of Finland and it's gorgeous. That might contribute to the happiness. Although such long winters, you'd think that would. That would get your dauber down.

[Matthew]

5.65 million people.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, there's your answer right there. There's your answer. There's more people than that in the metro area of the Twin Cities.

[Joe Soucheray]

I was just going to say, yeah,

[Chris Reivers]

they're smaller than us and I don't know, it's long. It's a long, narrow country. But I bet if you squeeze her together, you know, like make a patty out of it, it's probably no bigger than Montana or, you know, West Virginia or something.

[John Haidt]

It's like a smash country.

[Chris Reivers]

You can get. You can get away with those programs in small countries.

[Kenny Olson]

Have you ever been to Finland? Minnesota plus.

[Chris Reivers]

I'll tell you another thing about Finland. It's probably full of Finlanders, I bet. Mostly Finlanders.

[Kenny Olson]

That's how that works.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah. So I. Doesn't surprise me if we're Sweden. I don't have the list, I just have the story. I wish I had the list. Where's Sweden? I wonder, what is it?

[John Haidt]

List of happiest countries.

[Chris Reivers]

2020, 2026, by the well Being Foundation. I bet Sweden's ahead of us. I bet a lot. Well, 22 countries are ahead of the United States.

[Joe Soucheray]

Sweden, by the way, is just east of Norway. You were asking where is it?

[Chris Reivers]

I am aware of that. And nobody fought the commies more vigilantly than the Nor. Than the Finlanders on cross country skis.

[Matthew]

Vigilantly probably is what you meant, right?

[Chris Reivers]

What did I say?

[Joe Soucheray]

Vigilant village.

[Chris Reivers]

They had villages where they fought them from the villages.

[Kenny Olson]

Maybe these guys just have been nipping at the fireball all the time and they've got kind of a low grade buzz going at all times.

[Chris Reivers]

Wouldn't surprise me.

[Kenny Olson]

And that's why they're so happy.

[Chris Reivers]

Plus they probably get to see the northern lights a lot.

[Matthew]

Oh, yeah.

[Chris Reivers]

You know, they got reindeer, you know, they got all the good stuff. Hi.

[John Haidt]

List of happiest.

[Chris Reivers]

You know, it's just.

[Joe Soucheray]

She'll have her by tomorrow.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah, why don't you tell me tomorrow where Sweden is?

[John Haidt]

It's over there in Europe. It's right by Norway.

[Chris Reivers]

Only because they come to us all the way from Penguin Island.

[John Haidt]

Sweden is number five.

[Chris Reivers]

Sweden is number five.

[John Haidt]

Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Costa Rica, Sweden, Norway, Norway, Netherlands, Israel, Luxembourg and Switzerland. The top 10.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, when you get all the way in that top 10 for. For the most part, I can imagine those are countries that have trust in their government. Israel. There might be some doubts.

[John Haidt]

Okay.

[Chris Reivers]

Costa Bleeping Rica.

[John Haidt]

Thank you.

[Chris Reivers]

Does Costa Rica even have a government? That might even be better yet.

[Joe Soucheray]

It's like Andover. It doesn't even have a downtown.

[John Haidt]

Details. I can get to you tomorrow.

[Chris Reivers]

I don't want that. No. Say these come to us all the way from Penguin Tasmania from the traveling lineman's at Worldwide Waftage. It was on this day in Minnesota history, March 19th. Well, on this day in 1849, Aaron Goodrich was appointed Chief justice of the Minnesota Territory. I bet that's where we get Goodrich Avenue in St. Paul.

[John Haidt]

Good.

[Chris Reivers]

On this day, March 19, in 1867, a treaty signed in Washington D.C. established the White Earth Reservation for the Ojibwe. And the transfer of the Mississippi Ojibwe to The site began June 14. The leader, Bagan Giziheg. Whole of the day. The younger, wanting no mixed bloods on the reservation, tried to block their relocation. Bad relations resulted from that policy. And. And Bagon Gishig was assassinated on June 27, 1868, near his home in Crow Wing. No kidding. Wow. On this day, March 19th in 1880, a pedestrian bridge connecting Fort Snelling to St. Paul was completed.

[Joe Soucheray]

Did your voice just crack?

[Chris Reivers]

I think it did.

[Joe Soucheray]

Peter Brady or Peter.

[Chris Reivers]

On this day, March 19, in 1992, Rebecca Rand, Minnesota's best known brothel operator, pled guilty in Ramsey County District Court to three prostitution related felonies and agreed to Turn her building over to authorities, as well as pay 200 grand to settle a civil forfeiture suit.

[Joe Soucheray]

Hey, we'll take it from here. Give us that brothel,

[Chris Reivers]

she observed. I went through so many years without a pimp or anyone taking my money. Now the government decided to take my money.

[Joe Soucheray]

So we had a working brothel up until 1992.

[Chris Reivers]

I don't know. I don't know where it was.

[John Haidt]

I'm thinking.

[Joe Soucheray]

Good one, Joe.

[Kenny Olson]

Right.

[Joe Soucheray]

Good one.

[John Haidt]

Your room is ready.

[Chris Reivers]

On this day.

[Kenny Olson]

He's got his own parking place out

[Chris Reivers]

on this day. March 19, in 2020. What do you think is noted for this?

[Kenny Olson]

Covid.

[Chris Reivers]

Yep. An elderly Ramsey county resident became the first Minnesotan to die from COVID And I would even doubt that, now that I look back on it.

[Matthew]

Old age.

[Chris Reivers]

How do we know? First of all, we don't know. They don't name this person. We don't get an age on this person. We don't get where this person died. What if it was somebody's lovely grand that was shoved into a nursing home and died of heartbreak?

[John Haidt]

Could have been.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yep.

[Chris Reivers]

On this day in Minnesota, sports disappointment history.

[Joe Soucheray]

Who'd we lose to? Joe on March 19?

[Chris Reivers]

Well, on this day in 2021, the Vikings were fined for a salary cap violation. No. Yeah. Thank you. G. Ellers.

[Matthew]

Rebecca Rand, by the way, operated out of several places. Places.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay.

[Matthew]

The cosmopolitan sauna in St. Paul.

[Chris Reivers]

Don't know where that was.

[Matthew]

How about the Relax A Lounge in Minneapolis?

[Chris Reivers]

Don't know where. That one.

[Kenny Olson]

That was 38th and Cedar, wasn't it?

[Chris Reivers]

I don't know.

[Matthew]

Don't have an address. And also a home in St. Paul that I'm assuming belonged to her. Doesn't give an address.

[Chris Reivers]

I'll be DM'd. I wonder if she's still with us.

[John Haidt]

Who ran Lee Lenore's on Lee Laroir? Lee Lenore on Lee Snelling.

[Chris Reivers]

Lee Lero.

[John Haidt]

I had a classmate that used to go in there for change to get bus money, and they said no.

[Chris Reivers]

You're out of here. John, see if Rebecca's still with us.

[Matthew]

I am looking.

[Chris Reivers]

Thank you. G Ellers.

[John Haidt]

He's now an inspector in the Minneapolis Police Department.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay.

[John Haidt]

Yep.

[Matthew]

Yeah.

[Joe Soucheray]

Are we waiting for John's answer?

Time once again to check in with our guy, Mr. Money Talk. Josh Arnold is with us once again right here in garagelogic and now is the time for you to do the same. So do not delay, do exactly what I did and pick up that phone and dial 952-925-5608. That number once again is 952-925-5608. When you call that number you're going to get Josh and he is there for you for that. Free. Yes, I use the word free 48 minute financial consultation with absolute obligation. And he will always give you the straight talk. He will never give you the sugar coated advice. And he is on the line with us once again right here in Garage Logic. And boy Josh, I have to ask you a loaded question. Does Jay Powell have TDS or what?

[Mike Schoonover]

Oh my goodness. This question was actually brought brought to me by my market technician Chris Dvorak of Dvorak Technical Research. Chris checks all the lines scribbles that are going on not only with the individual stocks but on with the market. Chris decision yesterday and especially during Powell's press conference which I have found to be market moving more on the downside than on the upside. Chris Chris came out and said the Fed chair has it in for the orange ban. He's got to be suffering from TD at a lot of his verbiage during the press conference around around the Fed the Fed's decision to leave interest rates alone. But the Fed of course is concerned about the short and long term effect of and I'm going to just quote the President the excursion into Iran President says will be over soon. Many people you know presume soon as tomorrow or at the latest this weekend. But soon in political terms could be speak still be several several weeks. But the Fed is concerned about the impact of we'll say quote unquote the excursion into Iran, particularly the increase in the price of oil. Oil has moved up from $65 a barrel to $95 a barrel even though the US has plenty of Oil and also has plenty of natural gas, both enough to be net exporters of oil and natural gas. The price of both is reflective on a worldwide basis, not just on the US basis but as the price of oil and even natural gas goes up and oil energy prices do go through our entire economic system, the threat of increased inflation does come back. And that Fed is concerned with that and has talked not only of not cutting interest rates, but of possibly increasing interest rates. And that does have the market. The other notion that the Fed chair brought up was the notion of stagflation. So stagnant economy with, with higher price and that that's difficult not only for the Fed to navigate, but even for, for individuals to navigate. Now one thing that could compound the Fed's interest rate decision is employment. And the Fed is responsible also not only for a stable, we'll say a stable dollar, but also for full employment. And unemployment numbers could be going up. And I just look at a few companies that have recently announced large layoffs or large potential layoff. First you had is block. You might know them as square. They announced recently that they're going to be cutting 40% of their workforce. You know, that could be anywhere, you know, around four or five thousand jobs. Then there's Meta, you might know Meta, Facebook, Instagram Reels or Oculus. They too are now cutting up to 20% of their work to give them a little bit more flexibility in their spending, you know, to build out data centers and, and the like. So that's just two, we'll say technology related companies. Both have cited again artificial intelligence. So as unemployment, you know, starts ticking up, the Fed is stuck between, we'll say a rock and a hard place, particularly if inflation stays higher than their 2% target target rate for longer. And I've said this before, by any measure of inflation, most of us would look at the consumer price index. That's over 40% between housing costs, so mortgage adjusted rents and they have not been going down nor has the cost of property casualty and health insurance. So if you just take those as being a large part of the CPI index, very, very difficult to get inflation down to that 2% level unless the economy stalls out or goes into a recession. The economy stalling out could happen. I don't see the economy falling into a recession. We'll see what you know that how that develops in the, in the coming months. But that has that part of a macro concern of the market as well as the price, price of oil. Meantime, some other concerns in the morning market and that is the issue of credit adversely affecting I'll say the private equity and private credit companies, individuals and other institutions want to get out of illiquid illiquid investments or illiquid funds. So these are funds that are not publicly traded do have a liquidity feature and I've seen numerous instances where these private equity and private credit firms have limited the amount of withdrawal. Now I did see a report today that money from those is moving from one illiquid investment to another. That being the non publicly traded real estate investment trust. And my I'll say humble opinion not a place that you'd want to be again these are illicit would invest yes they do promise higher yields but the ability to get money out ability to generate large profit to me ends on the slim side. Slim is getting ready to get up from his seat at the at the bar. If you're looking for yield plenty plenty of places to get yield and have that still be liquid from AT&T or Verizon to Northern Oil and Gas to several publicly traded real estate funds including Cohen and Steers Real Estate Quality Income Trust. You could also take a look at an exchange traded fund through Goldman Sachs that Tracks tracks the NASDAQ 100 and generates income with option rate. Not to mention, you know my favorite way to generate income income is using a systematic withdrawal strategy that I learned from one of my investment heroes, John Templeton decades ago and I found that that strategy has worked extremely well. I have a very very very long term track record proving it does it does work though. When you're taking money using that strategy, you know your principal will still go up and down. Not much different from looking at a high yield stock. Your principal will go up and down, but plenty of places to generate yield and income without putting it into illiquid investment.

[Joe Soucheray]

Excellent advice as always, Mr. MoneyTalk. You heard him G ers. Now is the time for you to pick up the phone and make the call for that free 48 minute financial consultation again with zero obligation. And you do that just like I did by dialing 955608 where you always get straight talk and never ever sugarcoated advice. Josh, as always, thank you so much for the time and the chat. Enjoy the rest of your day and we'll talk to you again tomorrow.

[Mike Schoonover]

Look forward to it. Chris.
