Garage Logic: "Where Are The Missing High-level NASA Scientists and Researchers? (They Aren't Here)"

Date: April 1, 2026
Episode #1,748
Host: Joe Soucheray ("The Mayor") with Kenny Olson, John Heidt, Matthew, Gabe, and others

Overview

This episode of Garage Logic kicks off with classic Minnesota ice-out news before plunging into a multi-segment discussion of government inefficiency and fraud, segueing to its main—and most provocative—topic: a string of mysterious deaths and disappearances among high-level NASA and national lab scientists. The hosts engage in spirited speculation (with a dash of dark humor) about what these incidents might reveal about government secrecy, the American public’s right to know, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

Woven through the episode are tangents on state and national politics, government accountability, and the quirks of Minnesota living, all in the show’s trademark irreverent and conversational style.

Main Theme

“Where are the missing high-level NASA scientists and researchers? (They aren’t here.)”

Garage Logic’s crew investigates a growing pattern of mysterious deaths and disappearances among prominent American scientists, especially those with NASA or national security ties, and what it might mean about government transparency, possible espionage, and what information is being kept from the public.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Minnesota Ice-Out Updates

• Classic “Garage Logic” starts the show with local news: White Bear Lake is ice-free, signaling the coming of spring ([01:21]-[02:15]).
• Conversation about oddities in local weather records.

---

2. Government Fraud and Waste

• The crew discusses recent fraud convictions involving the “Feeding Our Future” scandal:

  • Abdul Abubakar Ali sentenced to one year for wire fraud, despite the guidelines recommending 30-37 months ([08:10]-[10:21]).
  • Restitution is only partial, prompting jokes about “investing” in fraud ([10:26]-[10:50]).

• The new "Minnesota Promise Act" – $100 million in small business grants – faces scrutiny for lack of oversight:

  • Grants given to businesses without current licenses ([11:15]-[13:26]).
  • No requirement for recipients to prove how funds were used; random audits rarely or never conducted ([14:12]-[16:13]).
  • Frustration from some lawmakers, with political dividing lines appearing ([12:26]-[13:26]).
  • Quote (Joe Soucheray): “Government's too big. Too many redundancies, too many overlaying of bureaucracies.” ([13:26]).

• Comparison of Minnesota’s tax burden to other states ([17:00]-[18:09]).

---

3. Political Satire: "Point of Privilege" Culture

• The show mocks social justice and equity "points of privilege" at a youth convention in Winnipeg ([02:57]-[06:02]).
  • Email from listener John about enduring “Ouch cards” at workplace DEI training is read and discussed ([03:54]-[06:02]).
  • Satirical riff on intersectionality, with Joe observing: “Wouldn't the greatest irony be that a Christian, capitalist, straight, white male would be the most marginalized person in that entire gathering?” ([03:48]).

---

4. Main Topic: Missing NASA and Lab Scientists

Background and List of Incidents ([29:06]-[39:26])

• Joe introduces a spate of mysterious deaths or disappearances among top-level U.S. scientists (mainly NASA, JPL, Los Alamos):

  • Frank Maywald (Jet Propulsion Lab): Died at 61, cause never publicized; no autopsy ([29:46]-[31:08])
  • Anthony Chavez (Los Alamos): Vanished, May 4, 2025; personal items left behind, not dressed for hike ([31:33]-[34:29])
  • Melissa Cassias: Disappeared, left personal/work phones wiped clean ([34:31]-[34:46])
  • Monica Riza (JPL director): Vanished hiking ([35:04])
  • Gen. William Neil McCasland (retired, USAF): Involved in space propulsion/UFO programs; disappeared with boots and handgun, no phone or glasses ([36:00]-[36:57])
  • Carl Grillmayr (CalTech astrophysicist, NASA/JPL tie): Shot dead at home ([37:09]-[39:00])
  • Nuno Luero (nuclear fusion researcher): Shot dead ([39:00])
  • Jason Thomas (Novartis, cancer research): Found dead in lake, previously missing ([39:00])

• “These deaths are connected. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence,” says Joe ([41:26]).

• Kenny compares the pattern to the silencing of JFK witnesses: “Same thing, only it's involving UFOs and UAPs” ([39:26]).

Speculation on Causes

• Government efforts to suppress knowledge?

  • Joe’s theory: Not actual alien involvement, but government actors fearing public reaction to shocking discoveries.
  • "Somebody in the government is so fearful of what our reaction would be to what they know that they're going to prevent us from knowing it, even if it means disappearing their highest researchers..." ([40:09])

• Is it about aliens? Espionage?

  • Former FBI director quoted in original article: "Even employees who do not work directly on top secret scientific research could be targeted by foreign spy agencies..." ([34:45])
  • Kenny suggests it could be Soviet or Chinese agents, but Joe points out it wouldn’t make sense to kill rather than kidnap experts ([43:38]-[43:51]).

• Debate: Would revealing extraterrestrial life or advanced tech unify humanity or foster chaos?

  • Joe: "I think it would be unifying. I think people would say, man, we gotta get together... We're about to be taken over by these weirdos."
  • Kenny: "Never, huh? Unified. It's instant chaos, Joe." ([42:18]-[43:04])

• List of “Confirmed” Incidents is recapped ([39:00]-[39:26]).

• Does this tie into the current moon mission?

  • Possibly, as these researchers were involved in propulsion/space projects ([46:31]-[47:06]).
  • Kenny jokes, “They're not ready yet for the new stuff because they keep getting bumped off. We don't want to reveal the new stuff yet.” ([47:06]).

Notable Quote

Wrap-Up

Flow & Tone

The Garage Logic crew bounces nimbly from news to speculation, satire, and personal anecdotes. The missing scientist story is explored earnestly but with clear skepticism toward official explanations and a distrust of overgrown bureaucracy. Humor, sarcasm, and tangential storytelling abound, making serious concerns about government secrecy feel accessible and engaging.

Conclusion

The episode concludes with the hosts convinced that the pattern of missing scientists isn’t a "coinky-dink." They depart with a tongue-in-cheek call for unity in the face of cosmic revelations—“I think it would be unifying...I want to know about it”—even as the Garage Logic spirit insists on poking holes and having fun with every theory.

---

For listeners fascinated by true conspiracy, government accountability, and the intersection of science, secrecy, and skepticism—with a heavy dose of local color and irreverent banter—this episode is a must-listen.

Go. Josh Arnold, investment consultant, brings you Garage Logic podcast number 1,748. April 1, 2026. 84 degrees was the record high on this day. That was in 2015. The record low was 9 degrees in 1975. I think that's the first record low of the year that isn't below zero. And we have tremendous ice out news. White Bear, I've been informed, went out yesterday.

[Kenny Olson]

The whole lake already?

[Joe Susher]

Yes, it's out. It's out.

[Gabe]

Wow.

[Joe Susher]

White Bear also went out in 2007 on this day and 2010 on this day. Minnetonka went out on this day in 1889, 1902, 1911 and 1968. Boy, we're in the month of ice out, so get ready.

And now from the mayor's office above the boathouse on the east shore of Spoon Lake, it's Garage Logic with Chris Reavers manning technology corner, Kenny Olson from the Krabby 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.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

I'm sorry, just real quick, point of personal privilege. I understand there's very little time and for. For delegates to speak, but early on the mic, I. It's hard as a racialized and transgender

[Joe Susher]

delegate to sometimes use this card and. And speak up, speak to somebody in front of me in line and ask,

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

hey, this pertains to multiple intersecting parts of my live.

[Kenny Olson]

I'd like to speak.

[Joe Susher]

I was rejected when I talked.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

And it's frustrating when these are my rights being directly under attack right now

[Joe Susher]

in Alberta and that a cisgender woman

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

had spoken over me.

[Joe Susher]

There's a point of privilege on microphone one.

[John Height]

Then we'll go to microphone three.

[Joe Susher]

Go ahead, delegate.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

Yes, hello.

[Matthew]

I was standing here with my gender

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

equity card before you called on the previous.

[Matthew]

Thank you.

[Joe Susher]

That's my point of privilege. That's a group of young people.

[Kenny Olson]

Wait, John's waving his card.

[Joe Susher]

He obviously has. That's a group of young people who over last weekend in Winnipeg were trying to put together a new political party. Good luck to them. And I got an email from John who writes, I was just listening to what we just heard in which you guys discussed the new Democratic Party's convention that happened in Winnipeg with their cards and points of privilege. I chuckled and shuddered at the same time. Wouldn't the greatest irony of all be that a Christian, capitalist, straight, white male, I would be the most marginalized person in that entire gathering? Absolutely. Said differently in that meeting, would any other intersection be put down, cast aside, or ignored as I. And therefore wouldn't I be allowed to talk over all others? This reminds me of a situation at a company I worked for 20 years ago in Eden Prairie. We had a consultant company come in to preach about dei. They told us we didn't have enough chocolate chips in our cookie. Take that any way you will. After that, we went through their so called training. They handed out Ouch cards. They were about the size of a playing card and they were to be pulled out and flashed at others. God help us. This is 20 years ago when it was determined that a stereotype or other similar transgression had occurred. You were to explain how the words hurt you and redirect the conversation to educate the racist xenophobe, et cetera. That remainder of my. Oh, you were supposed to remind them how terrible they are. Needless to say, the Ouch cards were a source of great comedy for the remainder of my tenure there. I carried one for years and found great joy in using it to counter my workmates. Painful and often hilarious jabs at my expense. Prized possessions from that job is a pristine Ouch card that a colleague gave me when he left for another gig. So much for civilization. We had a good Run. Good luck to you and the boys, John. He's right.

[Matthew]

Nice.

[Joe Susher]

It's just.

[Kenny Olson]

I didn't realize I'd been around for that long.

[Joe Susher]

I remember being told that I must attend sensitivity training. This would have been the paper.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, if anybody needs it, it'd be you.

[Joe Susher]

And this was back in the newspaper, probably in the late 80s, early 90s. And it was the. The people who put this together thought it was very important that we become sensitive. And they were on the. They were on the cusp of this kind of BS you heard up in Winnipeg, but they weren't already there. And I remember saying to them, they were brainstorming about how we can be better to the customers, meaning the people who had subscriptions to the paper. And one person said, well, I see that when the Star Tribune's delivered, it's always in a plastic sleeve and ours isn't. And maybe that's difficult for people to go out and get a wet paper. And then somebody else said something, and somebody else said something, and they made you say something. So it finally came to me and I said, well, I'll tell you what I would do. Tell the St. Paul delivery people to take the Tribune out of the plastic bag and put the plastic bag on the same palm paper. Problem solved. Bing, bang, boom. And I don't think they. I think I was. I think a note was made. I think I might have missed your point.

[Kenny Olson]

Are you serious, Clark?

[Joe Susher]

Are you serious, Clark? God almighty. Did we talk about. I thought we did. Just a moment. I have it here. We have the. Didn't we talk about a judge named Nancy Brazel? In what regard? She gave a feeding our future defendant a slap on the wrist.

[Matthew]

Oh, yes. I don't know that we talked about that.

[Joe Susher]

Well, this is back in the news, dated yesterday.

[Kenny Olson]

This isn't the one that reversed a guilty.

[Matthew]

This is the one that gave the guy one year.

[Joe Susher]

Well, let me tell you what it is. Abdul Abubakar Ali pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in October 2022. Per terms of the plea agreement, one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering and one count of wire fraud were dismissed at the sentencing.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, I remember.

[Joe Susher]

As previously reported, Ali used nonprofit Youth Investors Lab to enroll in the federal child nutrition program under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future. He claimed to serve roughly 1.5 million meals and that the meals were provided by the SNS catering. But no meals were ever served. Prosecutors were able to determine demonstrate. Remarkably, both the government and the defense advocated for a probationary sentence, noting that Ali had taken responsibility for his actions, given valuable information to investigators, and paid 92,500 in restitution. Well, that would have been money he took in the first place.

[Gabe]

Right.

[Joe Susher]

However, U.S. district Court Judge Nancy Brazel determined that Ali's role in the fraud scheme was too great for a probationary sentence. She noted that Ali recruited a friend to participate in the scheme and completely made up meal counts rather than just exaggerate them. She also said in court that public trust in government programs has been undermined by the fraud scheme. Ali's defense attorney appeared very emotional, noting that since his first phone call with Ali, he was very clear that what he did was wrong and that he wanted to cooperate with the government. The sentencing guidelines were expected to range from 30 to 37 months. So Ali got a year. He got a year.

[Matthew]

And his restitution. Does that story cover that? No, his restitution.

[Joe Susher]

His restitution was money that he already had taken from us.

[Matthew]

Well, he was supposed to pay back, I think 92,001.03 was the number that he had taken from the government. Yes. You know what? I'll take a million if I gotta pay back 10%.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

And do a year in jail.

[Kenny Olson]

Matthew, that's better than taxes.

[Matthew]

Where do I sign up?

[Joe Susher]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

The government's taken half.

[Joe Susher]

Well, we have a new problem.

[Matthew]

It could be long gone.

[Joe Susher]

We have a new problem that's reared its head. Lawmakers have come up with a $100 million grant program called the Minnesota Promise Act. 100 mil? That's a tenth of a bill.

[Matthew]

Yep.

[Joe Susher]

The multimillion dollar state grant program intended to help small businesses is facing scrutiny from Minnesota lawmakers following a 5 Investigates report that uncovered taxpayer money going to questionable recipients. The Minnesota Promise act is supposed to provide grants of up to 50 grand to qualifying small businesses, presumably the ones that can claim they were, that they suffered because of the presence of ice here. So you and I are going to give them 100 million to get over that.

[Matthew]

That'll make them feel better.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

Yeah.

[Joe Susher]

So you doing okay? Some lawmakers express frustration over what they described as a lack of guardrails dating. Oh, I'm sorry. This law was passed in 2023. It just might be convenient to use for. Tell you this, in effect, is an effective use of dollars, said Representative Isaac Schultz, a Republican lawmaker who sits on the committee. I'm really seeing that government has failed in this regard. In addition to the concerns we have about fraud and waste. 5 Investigates reported earlier this week. This story is dated from March 4th no. Yeah, March 4th. But I've been hanging onto it. Channel 5 Investigators reported earlier this week that there are several questionable grantees. B M Vital Home Care. The company received just under 50 grand maximum grant despite having its license revoked when it applied. So when it applied, it didn't even have a license. When pressed by lawmakers, a deputy commissioner for the Department of Employment and Economic Development, Deed said the business had appealed their license and apparently continued to operate during that time. Records show the company lost its appeal. There's no working phone number. They should absolutely be required to pay that money back, said Representative Dave Baker, the Republican chair of the committee. How come no Democrats feel the same way?

[Matthew]

I don't understand that.

[Kenny Olson]

It's interesting, isn't it?

[Joe Susher]

Geez, Louise. Deed's main partner, the Neighborhood Development Center Government's too big. Too many redundancies, too many overlaying of bureaucracies. DEED's main partner, the Neighborhood Development center, we call that the NDC handles most of the vetting for the program. During the hearing, the Neighborhood Development center representatives defended their review process for the program, which is still approving grants. The Neighborhood Development center previously declined all interview requests. But after the hearing, 5 Investigates asked whether it conducts site visits to confirm that businesses are in operation.

[Kenny Olson]

That's a good question.

[Joe Susher]

Well, here's your answer. That is not a charge that we've been given id.

[Gabe]

Wow.

[Kenny Olson]

It's not. Hey, it's not my job.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah, exactly what they're saying.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[Joe Susher]

This is not a charge that we've been given by deed. And to do that over thousands of applications, said Sherry Ahmed, program director at ndc. On Wednesday, lawmakers also raised alarms over the lacks of over the lack of checks and balances after the money is distributed. Under current rules, businesses are not required to report back on how the grants are used.

[Gabe]

Wow.

[Joe Susher]

Though DEED officials noted they reserve the right to perform random audits, which apparently they have not done.

[Matthew]

Okay. Wouldn't you random audit your top five money givers at least to verify they've got an office?

[Joe Susher]

No, I'd.

[Matthew]

I want them all. Yes, but I want the top five.

[Joe Susher]

There has to be changes, baker said during an interview with five investigators. We need to relook at this program as a whole. Of course you do. Ndc and other partner organizations told because how many other partner organizations are there? That's where the estate's in trouble. There are too many of these outfits called the Neighborhood Development Center. They just got a host of different names for them. And then they go to deed. Indeed. Probably says, oh, thank God, we don't have to do this bs. Let these people handle it. NDC and other partner organizations told lawmakers they rejected and flagged up to 60 suspicious applications for possibly being fraudulent. The organizers, the organizations touted this as an example of the system working well. They're like the other people for they're lying.

[Kenny Olson]

We talked about this a few weeks ago in Crabby and you're right. They're lying on every level. And it's just free money.

[Joe Susher]

Some lawmakers were noticeably frustrated when DEED said it has not reported any of those applicants to police. A DEED spokesperson said Wednesday that there is a process in place on when to go to legal authorities. In other words, they must wait until they actually steal the money. The state is expected to release a comprehensive report of the Minnesota Promise act later this month. So I can put this in plain.

[Kenny Olson]

It was my understanding that it was legal stealing. It wasn't. It was just free money. You know what I mean?

[Matthew]

And once word got out, it was like dominoes.

[Kenny Olson]

And it didn't matter what it was used on. I mean, a farm got it up by DL, a pizza joint got it up north somewhere.

[Joe Susher]

Well, they, to the dfl of the idea of a business is a restaurant. And so a lot of money goes to restaurants. But the point of this is, in the midst of the fraud this state is enduring new ways continue to be hatched to funnel more money. That's unexplained. That's what it is. We keep dreaming up new ways to take care of our constituents. Maybe that's why no dfler ever weighs in. In the meantime, we learned from our friends at the American Experiment that the average wage earner in Minnesota pays more in state tax than in 42 other states. We're almost number one. We got eight states. How many states are there?

[Matthew]

50 and a district.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah. Not 51.

[Matthew]

Not 51. There's 50.

[Joe Susher]

And we, we only have eight slots to go before we're number one.

[Matthew]

I want to be number one.

[Joe Susher]

You know, if you're going to be 42, why not be all the way?

[Matthew]

Let's go.

[Joe Susher]

And then I've got charts. And you know, the American Experiment does a bang up job about this. Walz has probably done more to ruin the middle class in this state than any other governor in the history of this state. His trifecta has done more to ruin the middle class. It's just. I don't want to keep talking about fraud, but the important thing to remember is that despite our awareness of fraud, it continues apace. It Just continues this very second. It's going on as we speak.

[Kenny Olson]

Yes.

[Joe Susher]

Somebody who doesn't give a bleep has just written a check to somebody. The upper.

[Kenny Olson]

Unabated.

[Joe Susher]

Unabated. A pace forthwith. Heretofore. There are far.

[Kenny Olson]

I second that.

[Joe Susher]

Oh, man. I want to talk about something else that'll just get us away from.

[John Height]

Are you.

[Matthew]

Is it a positive Wednesday?

[Joe Susher]

No, Matt.

[Kenny Olson]

We're going to the moon. Are we going to talk about that?

[Matthew]

There we go. Let's go. Six o' clock tonight, huh?

[Joe Susher]

Here's what we gotta pray that there's

[Kenny Olson]

a cowboy in South Dakota that wears dresses. Are we gonna talk about that?

[Joe Susher]

Christy Gnome's husband wears those kind of bras that say, I need help in aisle five. One of those giant canvas ones.

[Kenny Olson]

I haven't seen the photos.

[Joe Susher]

Oh, yeah, there's a one. He's got.

[Matthew]

He's got like a silicone boobs or something.

[Joe Susher]

Well, he's got the giant halter there that says, hey, can you help me get this plywood out of here?

[Gabe]

You know, you're right.

[Kenny Olson]

What.

[Joe Susher]

What is. If you're going to be that guy and dress, why don't you wear something fun and frilly and, you know, Victoria's Secret?

[Matthew]

That's the attitude we want.

[Joe Susher]

Is this a South Dakota thing? If you're a cross dresser in South Dakota, you gotta be a complete rube.

[Kenny Olson]

Is he dressed like a lunch lady?

[Joe Susher]

Yes. Yeah, he's got the big. Those bras that women tend to get in their elder years where there's the boulder holders. Yeah, the boulder holders were over the shoulder.

[Gabe]

Boulder holders.

[Joe Susher]

It's just this giant canvas five snaps on the back.

[Kenny Olson]

And I don't mean little hooks. I mean big industrial boats.

[Matthew]

It's like a New York apartment with the four bolts that you gotta lock

[Joe Susher]

to get the door. Here's what kills me. Christy, upon hearing of this, is shocked. Well, she's been around with this. Running around with some guy in her private plane. She's never home. She didn't know this moron was walking around with his I need help in aisle five bra. And then it's so weird. Even Trump was stunned. And that takes something.

[Matthew]

Yeah, he is taking aback.

[Joe Susher]

He said, wow. Thought I'd see it at all. He said, wow. But here's the part that gets me.

[Matthew]

Christy didn't say that in the interview.

[Joe Susher]

I'm trying to practice. Despite what you guys say, I'm trying to practice a reasonably decent life. You know, reasonably. For example, I would think prayers are needed for this crew. We're sending to the dark side of the moon for a variety of reasons. They're putting their money where their mouth is. They're doing something very brave and courageous. If it fails, not only might you lose them, but the United States would suffer another blow to its image and its posture and its position in the world. We want this to succeed. God knows we don't have any money to do it, but we came up with the money.

[Matthew]

I don't need a so thing on the moon, see?

[Joe Susher]

So I can see saying to God once in a while today, I'll say, hey, Godspeed. Why don't you keep an eye on these guys? You know what I'm saying?

[Matthew]

Let's bring them back.

[Kenny Olson]

I think it's. We're making history by going to the moon for the very first time. We don't even get to touch down.

[Matthew]

Oh, I get it.

[Joe Susher]

But I'm getting to my point here. Christine Gnome's reaction to the discovery that the husband back on the farm is running around like Psycho's mother in Psycho. And she said, we need your prayers, you know. No, no, no.

[Matthew]

When God goes to the mail slot

[Joe Susher]

and there's prayers, there's gonna be no note for me. No note for me. Kids with cancer, you know. Lady, lady, you've already stolen God knows how many hundreds of millions from us. You're a complete failure no matter whatever you do. And you want prayers now and privacy because your husband's a complete fruitcake. I'm not praying for that. I'm sorry. I. I must be cruel.

[Matthew]

I'm seeing.

[Joe Susher]

I'm not doing it.

[Matthew]

I'm seeing the angel in heaven that's in charge of the mailroom.

[Joe Susher]

Give this one to Rook.

[Matthew]

Yeah, that gets all the. He's got to put them all in the slot. And he sees this Kristi Gnomes husband.

[Joe Susher]

He's like, I'm not doing that.

[Matthew]

I can't put this in the box.

[Joe Susher]

Sorry. I'm not putting this one in the box.

[Matthew]

You're on your own at the pain of purgatory. Penalty of purgatory.

[John Height]

I'm not.

[Joe Susher]

I'm not touching that one.

[Matthew]

Yes.

[Joe Susher]

I don't really care who.

[Kenny Olson]

Who do you think? Think it takes longer to get themselves made up in the morning?

[John Height]

Wow.

[Kenny Olson]

The lunch lady husband or Christy with the.

[Joe Susher]

I think it's a tie. And can you imagine the fight they must have in the bathroom?

[Kenny Olson]

Fighting.

[Joe Susher]

Hey, that's my mirror right now.

[Matthew]

I'll be done in a minute.

[Joe Susher]

That's my room in a minute. Then he comes out looking like Robin Williams, are you wearing my eyelashes? Mrs. Doubtfire.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

I'm sorry. Reavers isn't here to find out which one he thinks is more attractive.

[Kenny Olson]

Do you think they wear the same size underpants?

[Gabe]

No.

[Joe Susher]

This guy has to go with the big granny. He's got the big ones.

[Matthew]

She's still holding on.

[Joe Susher]

She's still trying to go free.

[Matthew]

She's. She's clinging to lace.

[Joe Susher]

She's working her way to the mom jeans, though.

[Matthew]

Yes. Yes.

[Joe Susher]

Hey, folks. The world is over. It's. It's pretty much over as far as we know.

[John Height]

What?

[Joe Susher]

We're done? We're done?

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, we're done.

[Matthew]

I gotta run.

[Joe Susher]

And then today. Today, unprecedented. Our president is sitting in the front pew at the Supreme Court hearing so he can glare at people.

[Matthew]

Yeah.

[John Height]

He ducked out, though.

[Joe Susher]

Oh, he left.

[John Height]

Hour and a half. He heard the opening arguments by his lawyers or the people? The administration's lawyers.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah.

[John Height]

As soon as the counter came up, he got up and left.

[Matthew]

Because he wouldn't be able to keep quiet.

[Joe Susher]

Well, we're arguing whether we should get rid of birthright citizenship. It's in the 14th Amendment. It's in the Constitution. If you're born here, even though your parents aren't legal citizens, you're a citizen.

[Matthew]

I agree.

[Joe Susher]

That hasn't bothered me.

[Matthew]

I would agree with that.

[Joe Susher]

I'm okay with that.

[Matthew]

If you're born here, you're it.

[Kenny Olson]

Regardless, I have no opinion.

[Joe Susher]

And he's. He's against that. He wants you, you know. He loses Marco Rubio. He loses Marco Rubio. Then Rubio was born here to illegal parents. He's gone. Isn't he the Secretary of State?

[Matthew]

Yes.

[Joe Susher]

Yes, he's gone.

[Matthew]

I will say I am more impressed than I thought I would be with him as Secretary of State. Not that he's the best ever.

[Joe Susher]

Well, I don't know how he can possibly hang on.

[Matthew]

Well, that's what I'm saying. The way he puts it down the middle when he's probably shaking his head, going, I can't believe I have to swill this. Churn this.

[Joe Susher]

Well, anyway, there's no world anymore. It's over. It's pretty much over.

[Matthew]

Where are we going for our last days? Where?

[Joe Susher]

I'm going to join that new Democratic Party in Winnipeg.

[Matthew]

Okay.

[Joe Susher]

I got an orange card.

[Matthew]

You got some point of privilege.

[Joe Susher]

You know, my back hurts. That must count for something. I don't know.

[Kenny Olson]

I'm going to check out what. What Kristi Gnomes husband's up to.

[Matthew]

Maybe.

[Kenny Olson]

Maybe he has the secret since it's your last days.

[Matthew]

What the hell, huh?

[Kenny Olson]

It never weird enough for me.

[Joe Susher]

You know, the old saying is, you know, you look at, you look at Christy and you would think that the guy would have been happy with that, you know?

[Matthew]

No, he found a nice looking guy.

[Joe Susher]

You know what it tells me?

[Matthew]

Successful.

[Kenny Olson]

That's what she drove him to.

[Joe Susher]

Well, not only that, but. But it tells me that there's just too much dead time out there on the farm. You know, you gotta come up with something to do.

[Matthew]

Kenny can verify.

[Kenny Olson]

No, there's. There's a lot to do on the farm.

[Joe Susher]

Apparently not for this guy.

[Kenny Olson]

I think the problem is they have hired hands.

[Joe Susher]

You gotta go shoot a bad dog once in a while.

[Kenny Olson]

The hired hands are doing all the work and they're in the house walking around trying to figure out what to do with themselves.

[Matthew]

Are they grilling in their underwear on the deck or what's going on there?

[Kenny Olson]

If they're true Americans, they are okay.

I mean, not similar, something completely different. There is an ominous web of us scientists and lab employees, all top notch guys. It's all real who have died or are missing. NASA scientist Frank Maywald reportedly died on the 4th of July, two years ago in Los Angeles at the age of 61. But the cause of death has never been made public and officials confirmed that an autopsy was never performed. Maywald was a prominent researcher at the space agency's Jet propulsion laboratory since 1999 and worked on multiple projects tied to advanced satellite technology that could scan the Earth and other planets.

[Matthew]

61's too young.

[Joe Susher]

In June of 2013, just 13 months before his death, he was the lead researcher on a breakthrough that could help future space missions detect clear signs of life in other worlds, including Jupiter's moon Europa, Saturn's moon and Solidus, or the dwarf planet Ceres. Despite Mawald being a Jet Propulsion Lab principal, an award given to scientists making outstanding individual contributions in their fields, NASA never commented publicly on his death and the only public record marking his passing was an obit posted online. Meanwhile, another mysterious disappearance has come to light at the Los Alamos National Lab, one of America's key nuclear research facilities, bringing the total number of unexplained incidents to eight since July 2024. Anthony Chavez, a former employee at the Los Alamos lab until his retirement in 2017, vanished without a trace on May 4 last year, just seven weeks before a key assistant at the same lab also disappeared, the Los Alamos Police Department told the Daily Mail. It's a Daily Mail story, but it's true because it can all be verified, right? And no one else is doing it. The Los Alamos Police Department told Daily Mail that the search for Chavez, 79, is still ongoing and no new information in the case has emerged. One year later, the Daily Mail has reached out to Maywald's family in the county of LA for comment on the circumstances surrounding Maywald's untimely death. He's the guy, only 61 Strangely, the online obit set up for Maywald did not mention any health issues before the 61 year old's death, and NASA Jet Propulsion Lab would neither confirm nor deny that Mawald had been employed there for decades despite records of his achievements listed on their website. Meanwhile, Chavez was last seen leaving his home in the Denver Steel's neighborhood of Los Alamos on foot. The longtime employee left his car locked in the driveway, did not take his wallet, keys or other personal items, which were all found inside Chavez's home. Although friends considered him an avid hiker, investigators noted that Chavez was not dressed for a long outdoor walk and did not take a phone with him in case of emergency. The Los Alamos lab will not return the Daily Mail's request for comment. Melissa Cassias, 54, was also believed to have the winner. The printer cut me out there, damn it. She also disappeared. Her family said she, uncaring, uncharacteristically, decided to work from home on the day of her disappearance, but was last spotted miles from their house walking alone without her wallet, phone or keys.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, there's a common denominator there, isn't there?

[Joe Susher]

Moreover, the administration's assistant's personal and work phones were both found inside the Casey's home wiping clean. Wiped clean, wiped after someone performed a factory reset on them.

[Kenny Olson]

Interesting.

[Joe Susher]

Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told the Daily Mail that even employees who do not work directly on top secret scientific research could be targeted by foreign spy agencies, as they often have access to the same information nuclear scientists do in a classified lab or just a high clearance lab they would basically be in the know of what's going on, Swecker said. And it would not be the first time their administrative assistant has been targeted. I think you have to pull out all the resources necessary to look for links and look for potential espionage activities. That's where you start. Swecker said. The counterintelligence expert's warning came after another member of NASA Jet Propulsion Lab vanished without a trace last year. Monica Riza, JPL's director of the materials processing group, disappeared just four days before Casillas while hiking with friends in California's Angeles National Forest. Well, so far the moral I'm getting of this is I'm sure as hell not going for a hike anywhere near Los Alamos.

[Kenny Olson]

There's more. Keep going.

[Joe Susher]

Along with working in the same high profile NASA lab as Maywald, Ariza has also been directly tied to the disappearance of retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[Joe Susher]

Who oversaw her work creating a revolutionary new metal for missiles and rocket engines. McCasland, who allegedly possessed top secret knowledge of nuclear and UFO related secrets, was last seen about a month ago, February 7, 2026.

[John Height]

We. We actually I did this.

[Joe Susher]

I know you did.

[John Height]

With just the two people missing. And it was a daily mail a story at that time, so they must have just had reporters working on it constantly.

[Joe Susher]

He vanished in nearly the same manner as Chavez and Cassius. He left his home with only a pair of boots and a handgun and did not take his phone, smart device, voice or glasses.

[Kenny Olson]

Nobody does, nobody leads.

[Joe Susher]

So far, they all have done that.

[Matthew]

Yeah, that's a hasty retreat.

[Joe Susher]

I'm looking at pictures of them all here, so I'm not done. Just a minute.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, I want to know who you

[Joe Susher]

think I. I'm gonna get to that. Since Maywald died in 2024, three other scientists have died, including another respected researcher tied to NASA. Astrophysicist Carl Grillmayr, 67, was killed at his home Feb. 16 of this year, month and a half ago, after being shot on his front porch around 6am before his murder, the California Institute of Technology researchers work was heavily supported by the Jet Propulsion Lab. And Grillmere was personally involved with major space telescope missions led by NASA. He also worked on the NEOWISE and NEO Surveyor infrared telescope projects that track asteroids but use the same physics as military systems for tracking satellites and hypersonic missiles. These dual use infrared sensors fell under McCaslin's supervision while the General was in charge of the Air Force Research Lab space surveillance work. Two other respected researchers in Massachusetts have been found dead since December of 25. Nuno Luero, who was working on breakthroughs using nuclear fusion as an unlimited energy source, was shot dead in his Brookline home last year. Meanwhile, Jason Thomas, a pharmaceutical researcher testing cancer treatments at Novartis, was found dead in a Wakefield Lake just this past just half a month, March 17th of this year, after disappearing without a trace three months earlier.

[Kenny Olson]

Wow. So it's two this winter.

[Joe Susher]

So I have the, I have the whole spreadsheet of the people here. Grillmeyer, Melissa Cassius, Anthony Chavez, Frank Maywald, William William, Neil McCaslin, Nuno Lurero, Monica Riza and Jason Thomas. Okay, I have my theory.

[Kenny Olson]

This is a systematic cover up. The way they, the way they eliminated all the witnesses and people that knew who really killed Kennedy. This is the same thing, only it's involving UFOs and UAPs. Same thing. I just don't know who's conducting the COVID up. You go ahead.

[Joe Susher]

Okay. My theory is, and this is a tough one because it's. There's a redundancy in my theory because I, I believe the government doesn't give a bleep about the American people. The government just does what it wants to do and we don't factor in except to pay the bills. Right. And. But somebody in the government. My theory is somebody is so fearful of what our knowledge, meaning you and me and our neighbors, so fearful of what our reaction would be to what they know that they're going to prevent us from knowing it, even if it means disappearing. Their highest researchers, they're not going to let anyone tell us what they know. They're not going to say. For all we know, creatures are walking among us. For all we know, other planets are here, people are here. We would be either shocked by their look or I don't know what it is, but somebody in the government, which is weird because the government doesn't care about us, somebody is fearful enough that we shouldn't know what they know. Now, what keeps the people who know alive? Why aren't they killing each other until you get down to just one guy left who knows everything? I don't know that. I don't know what these researchers were stumbling on. But I do believe their deaths are connected.

[Matthew]

How can they not?

[Joe Susher]

I don't believe this is a grandkink.

[Matthew]

Yeah. This is not a coinky dink.

[Joe Susher]

Too many of them doing the same thing and they all went for a hike and left their belongings behind. I'm sorry we generally don't go black helicopter, but I'm perfectly willing to believe that a Government who doesn't give a bleep about us wants to keep our nose to the grindstone, to keep paying their bills and getting your taxes in on time. They'd be shocked. Shocked. We. They think we'd be shocked at what's going on.

[Kenny Olson]

You finally hit on it. Yes. And what have I been saying for years when we bring this topic up? As soon as this information becomes public, what am I going to do? I'm going to stop paying taxes. I'm going to stop paying my mortgage. It's going to be a free for all, for all of us. The United States will collapse, and that's

[Joe Susher]

the reason for the COVID Okay, see, so I have a different take on that. Oh, I believe. Well, it's going back to my flying disc over the globe with a guy that gets out with the megaphone and says, you people are really screwed up. Get your act together. My theory would be. So it's a realistic approach, and I'm really making a really. I'm crawling out on a limb to make this bet on humanity. I think it would be unifying. I think it would be unifying. I think people would say, man, we gotta get together. We're about to be taken over by these weirdos, you know? Never, huh? Unified.

[Kenny Olson]

Never happened. Apparently, the world would devolve.

[Joe Susher]

I said I was out on a limb. Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

No, it's instant chaos, Joe.

[Matthew]

You think the point of privilege, people would jump right in on that, or

[Kenny Olson]

do you think they need to put one in the chamber? And never let that thing leave your hands because it's going down, brother.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah, I don't know how this would play with the people who need an orange card at their convention to speak. I mean, they're afraid of their own shadow.

[Kenny Olson]

Do you think the aliens acknowledge equity?

[Joe Susher]

See, I don't think this is the aliens bumping these people off either.

[Kenny Olson]

No, I think it's government.

[Joe Susher]

I think it's our people bumping them off.

[Matthew]

Yeah, go ahead, Ken.

[Kenny Olson]

Is there an argument that it could be Soviet?

[Joe Susher]

Well, I'm thinking about that. What's in it for them? China, what's in it for them? They're killed. Why not kidnap the guy, force him to work for. For you?

[Kenny Olson]

Well, okay. Well, you answered my question, then. Yeah.

[Joe Susher]

Why are they. Why are they getting rid of them?

[Kenny Olson]

Right?

[Joe Susher]

I just, you know, I'm just. I'm so sick of the world conditions that we keep describing that I wanted to venture off into this. I think this would be unifying. I think this would be tantamount to the guy In. In the spaceship over the Earth with a megaphone saying, you people are a joke.

[Kenny Olson]

Matthew. A quick test for Matthew. When you. When you Wit. When you picture that guy in your mind's eye, your eyes closed, are you picturing kazoo from Flintstones?

[Gabe]

Oh, wow.

[Matthew]

That is pretty darn.

[Kenny Olson]

That's because he's got the.

[Matthew]

He's got the mic. The blowhorn thing.

[Joe Susher]

I'm not seeing anything untoward about any of these aliens.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh, that's.

[Joe Susher]

They're handsome, friendly people.

[Kenny Olson]

That's.

[Joe Susher]

Do you remember the story? Okay, this. This is a little corroborating. Do you remember the story we had about a month ago of the UFO sighting at a farm in England where. The farm where mom came out and was staring at the cockpit of this disc?

[Kenny Olson]

Yes, I do remember that.

[Joe Susher]

Okay. And the way she described it to me was the most sensible thing I've ever heard about any of this stuff. And I'm willing to grant you that maybe 98% of it's BS. She said they looked at her with pity. You remember that?

[Matthew]

Yes.

[Joe Susher]

They looked at her with pity. They looked at her as though to say, you.

[Matthew]

We don't need this.

[Joe Susher]

You're going about this all wrong, lady. That's how they looked at her. And then they left.

[Kenny Olson]

The way that our wives look at us.

[Matthew]

Yeah, we don't need this burden. You guys are all messed up. We don't want any part of it.

[Joe Susher]

And in that same story, we learned that her child was suddenly next to her, and she didn't know that. It was very believable. I don't think she had nothing to gain by reporting this. She's not been heard from since. She's alive, I assume. But she's not been heard from. She didn't try to capitalize on it.

[Matthew]

Well, that's true.

[Kenny Olson]

Is there any point in even debating whether or not they're real or not? Of course they're real.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

I mean, just debating that is just busy work just keeping us.

[Joe Susher]

Fermi's theory. The. The physicist Fermi said, where is everybody? It's a great big universe.

[Kenny Olson]

They're blending right in with the rest of us.

[Joe Susher]

Well, I don't want to see. In case they're listening. I know nothing. I don't know a damn thing about it.

[Kenny Olson]

Okay, Link, then for me, the today's moon mission with what we've just talked about, do any of those two have anything to do with each other?

[Joe Susher]

Boy, you would think that not only were they aware of it, they must have had a role in the preparation I mean these sound like high level people involved in high level propulsion which is required to get you that far. And I don't have a link, but

[Kenny Olson]

we're using old fashioned rocket fuel. Fuel.

[Joe Susher]

Yep.

[Kenny Olson]

And they're not.

[Joe Susher]

Well, probably because they're not ready yet for the new stuff because they keep getting bumped off. We don't want to reveal the new stuff yet.

[Kenny Olson]

I wonder when they finally get here and they land and they've been here and landed. But I mean when they finally make themselves known to us, do you think they'll know which penetrating oil to buy?

[Joe Susher]

There waiting for him with a can of it.

[Kenny Olson]

I'm going to be there with a can. Case of Deep Creep. It's the real deal. It works better to deeply penetrate rusted nuts and bolts than any other penetrating chemical on the shelf. From locked up rusty tools and nuts and bolts to everything else. If you need it working as good as new, Seafoam Deep Creep is the only option that will make you and keep you happy. Now where do you find it if you're an alien? Well, and you know what? It doesn't matter if it's deep Creep, top engine cleaner, tranny tune or any one of the various engine treatments they may have make. You're going to find it. What have I been saying for years? Wherever fine automotive chemicals are sold or grocery stores for that matter, convenience stores, it's everywhere. I think I've even seen it in a barber shop. A local company with a global reach and a true miracle, Deep Creep from Seafoam.

[Kenny Olson]

Is this a coup, Matthew?

[Joe Susher]

A cashew coup?

[Matthew]

Yeah. When Revers comes back, he's not getting this account back. This is mine to have and mine to have forever. So let's jump right into the Final Four weekend. That means it's time for the Fantastic Four and the four We Are Nuts flavors that survived the madness that made it into the semifinals. Here's the best part. You can build your own bracket because We Are Nuts is running their Fantastic Four special.

Check them out [e-mail] pick them up at Fradaloni's for the tournament special, Cub Foods, Coburn's and cashwise through April 15, every store is a home court advantage.

[Joe Susher]

Here's John Haidt.

[Matthew]

Wearenutsmn.com thank you, Rook.

[John Height]

And yes, thank you, Joe.

[Matthew]

He helped me out there, didn't He.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah. Trying to hurry along.

[Gabe]

Yeah.

[John Height]

This news is brought to you by North American Banking Company. And Joe, before I do the news, I do this to you all the time. When you present your theory about the alien.

[Joe Susher]

Yes.

[John Height]

Say into your television remote, I want to see the Day the Earth Stood Still.

[Joe Susher]

Still.

[John Height]

The plot is exactly the same as

[Joe Susher]

your plot where they come down and. Yes.

[John Height]

It's. Do you remember the English actor Michael Rennie?

[Joe Susher]

Vaguely.

[John Height]

He comes down, he's an alien, his name is Klaatu. There's a band named after him, if you remember. And he tells the Earth to get its act together because the nuclear weapon thing, you know, was the early 50s, so is going to destroy the universe

[Joe Susher]

the day the Earth. I'm sure I've seen. Seen it.

[John Height]

Yeah. It's from 1951.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

So how are the special effects?

[Matthew]

The flying saucer is that flat little cup saucer thing that goes.

[Kenny Olson]

And you can see the guy's hand that's waving it over.

[John Height]

They did remake it in 2008, but I didn't see the remake.

[Kenny Olson]

It doesn't seem as.

[Matthew]

Don't waste your time.

[Joe Susher]

51 would be more fun.

[John Height]

More fun, Exactly. In news, an infant was missing for more than an hour last night after the vehicle the baby was inside was stolen from the north Minneapolis daycare parking lot. According to police, the car and three month old child were taken from the lot of Plymouth Academy, located just off Plymouth and Dupont avenues at about 8:10 in the evening. The police and sheriff's deputies, Minnesota State troopers all joined in the search, as did the Minneapolis Fire Department and Sydney traffic agents. MPD said an alert was sent to law enforcement statewide within 15 minutes and officials had started working on an Amber Alert with the BCA as investigators use city cameras, license plate readers, drones and a grid search to try to find the child. Officers found the stolen vehicle about two blocks north of the daycare near 15th and Bride Avenue is about 9:20. Fortunately, the infant was unharmed inside and was reunited with its mother. The person responsible, however, gone. Search involving canines did not lead to anyone, according to police. Police say they're still investigating and working to find the suspect, but no arrests have been made made so far. The police report on the DUI case involving a couple of state legislators is now out. According to the White Bear Lake Police Department incident report, state Rep. Elliot Engen was, in his words, sober, cabbing for two passengers in the car. One of those passengers, fellow state representative Walter Hudson, who was armed with a concealed handgun. Engen was arrested for DUI he was pulled over just before 2 in the morning Friday. He was going 44 in a third his vehicle. I think we've talked about this rule. Never do this if you've been drinking. He had a broken headlight and expired license tabs.

[Matthew]

Oh, double whammy.

[Joe Susher]

Dom, I'm here to tell you to get your act together.

[Matthew]

Here come the aliens. Look at. He looks like.

[Kenny Olson]

He looked like. You should be in a bell, bro.

[Matthew]

He looks like. No, he looks like the Dread Pirate Roberts in Princess Bride.

[Kenny Olson]

We don't get that reference.

[Matthew]

That was Andre the Giant.

[Kenny Olson]

I have no idea.

[Matthew]

It was Andrew.

[John Height]

Okay, I got the reference.

[Matthew]

Thank you.

[John Height]

John Engen repeatedly denied having had anything to drink. He was ordered out of the car and failed some fields. Field sobriety tests. Blood alcohol of.14. While in police custody, he was subjected to another test at 0.13 at that point and had received a citation for speeding and two misdemeanor DWI charges. He was released without bail. On Friday morning, he apologized, saying, to my family, colleagues and constituents, I'm deeply sorry. I strive to be a man of great character and my actions fell short last night. I will learn from this and I will do better. Hudson said in a statement he's grateful no harm was done to ourselves and others. He did have the loaded firearm, and under Minnesota law, carrying a firearm with a blood alcohol content of.04 is a misdemeanor. A conviction on that level means a person is banned from carrying a firearm in public for 180 days. Blood alcohol level of 0.10 or more could result in the offender's concealed carry permit being revoked for at least a year. Engen told police both passengers had been drinking. But White Bear Lake Police Chief Dale Hager said his officers did not check Hudson's alcohol level, saying it was an officer discretion scenario. Twins home openers Friday. Rook, did you. Did you get an invitation to the new foods?

[Matthew]

I did not. I missed it again. I got invited to the Saints, which is nice, but not the. Not the twins.

[John Height]

They did the twins the other day and we got some new options this year.

[Matthew]

I wish I would have gone.

[Joe Susher]

They better have hot chicken soup for Friday.

[John Height]

Chocolate fish on a stick.

[Joe Susher]

That's not. That's. That's dreadful. That's just horrible.

[John Height]

It's not a fish, though. It's. They just call it a fish because it's shaped like a fish.

[Joe Susher]

Like an ice cream cone shaped like a fish.

[John Height]

It's like a pastry. Yeah, that's shaped like.

[Kenny Olson]

Is that about 13 bucks for steel dick?

[John Height]

I don't have cost. Kenny. Sorry. It's a Japanese style waffle filled with sweet custard and served with vanilla ice cream.

[Joe Susher]

Chocolate.

[Matthew]

I might try that. I might.

[Kenny Olson]

Complicated.

[John Height]

Also new this year, elote. The grilled corn dish comes with three options. A spicy blue corn topping, spicy cheetos or traditional elote spices. The ballpark is also adding more choices for people with sensitivities. New options include a smash burger and a hot dog with gluten free buns.

[Joe Susher]

How about you just don't eat the damn thing? You got a gluten problem, Stay home.

[John Height]

This is kind of interesting here. A Mac and. Yes, please. That's a build your own Mac and cheese bar with toppings that include both.

[Joe Susher]

That's what I want to do. I want to go to the game and get in a cafeteria line and make my own crib cram.

[Matthew]

Right? You're right with me. You came around.

[John Height]

But you can get buffalo chicken in your Mac and cheese or brisket.

[Matthew]

Oh, yeah.

[John Height]

Or blue cheese.

[Gabe]

Good.

[Matthew]

Blue cheese. Yes.

[Joe Susher]

Can you get the blue cheese and the brisket?

[Matthew]

I'm sure you can. It's all you can put in there.

[John Height]

Probably get all the items you want, I would guess.

[Joe Susher]

If you pay for it. Be great.

[John Height]

They'll also be offering a kids option. So that's a number of the new ones.

[Matthew]

So when you bring the grandkids, they'll. They'll have an option.

[Joe Susher]

They got parents.

[John Height]

And speaking of speaking of festivities yesterday, the Minnesota State Fair released all the details for the 2026 kickoff at the fair. That's the part where they do it early. Remember, this year it runs May 21 through May 24. There will be new things for 2026, including the hunter and jumper horse show, second glance crop art exhibit read to a breed and blood typing and donating. People can also score one free ticket at the early May event to the 2026 State Fair. When you buy a weekday ticket bundle to the kickoff to the fair, which is four tickets to the kickoff Thursday or Friday. Tickets for the kickoff go on sale this Friday, April 3rd at 10 in the morning. 14 bucks online, 17 bucks at the gate. Children 4 and under, a free capacity limited each day. The kickoff to the fair, if you've never been to it is just a smaller version of the state fair. Features a bunch of fair food, favorites, music, the giant slide and more.

[Joe Susher]

And I'll ask the question. I ask.

[Matthew]

Go ahead. Here comes every year. How do they get so much publicity?

[Joe Susher]

Why don't you have five weekends of summer where a Lot of those food booths are open for the old car crowd to drive through there. I know they have back to the 50s. I'm saying why not like a forky thing on a five weekends a year you go in there and get a foot long or whatever.

[Matthew]

You know what, Joe? I'm surprised that the fair has not adopted that because that would be a good idea and a good way to raise revenue there.

[Kenny Olson]

But you would have to guarantee those vendors that they would make money on the deal. I mean, because they have to buy product and then they have to staff those products booths and take time off and.

[Joe Susher]

Thank you.

[Matthew]

I think it's raining on your parade there, cowboy.

[Kenny Olson]

I don't like fun.

[Matthew]

He's pulling a pig pen.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah, I'm supposed to be. The guy doesn't like fun. Listen to him.

[Kenny Olson]

You guys that like fun are dumb.

[Joe Susher]

Why don't we, why don't we take

[John Height]

a quick break here and ponder that thought And I don't know who we're gonna hear from, who we gave.

[Kenny Olson]

Is it me?

[Joe Susher]

I can tell you something. I can tell you. Wow, Gabe, that'd be the kind of place, see where you could get in an accident if you're driving around there in the weekend.

[Matthew]

You gotta be careful.

[Joe Susher]

Gotta be careful. If you're ever in an accident or if anyone's ever injured, God forbid. Get ahold of Bradshaw and Bryant, personal injury attorneys. They're the best. Mike Bryant will put together a team and they'll handle that insurance company and the adjusters because that can be difficult. For six consecutive years, Mike has been recognized as a super lawyer. That's awarded by Minnesota Magazine, Law and Politics, which is the bible on those super lawyers. I hope you're never in an accident, but if you are, call Bradshaw and Bryant at 800-770-7008 or go to MinnesotaPersonal Injury.com for a free case evaluation. And don't be a part of the process problem. Don't text and drive or drive distracted. That's just common sense from Bradshaw and Bryant. John.

[John Height]

Thanks, Joe. In other news, NASA, as we've talked about, is set to launch Artemis 2 tonight at 5:24 hour time, sending four astronauts on a roughly 10 day journey around the moon. The mission marks the first crewed flight beyond Earth's orbit since 1972. Riding atop the Space Launch System, the world's most powerful operational rocket launch rocket, Orion's capsule integrity will reach speeds near 5 miles per second as it heads for lunar orbit. The first piloted flight of the deep space capsule Artemis 2 will travel about a quarter of a billion miles away, the farthest distance humanity has ever ventured into space. Next year, NASA aims to have astronauts link up with SpaceX and Blue Origin moon landers in low Earth orbit to test systems for lunar service missions. Land near the South Pole is expected by 2020, amid a growing race with China's lunar program. Artemis honors the Greek God moon goddess. The Greek moon goddess. Excuse me, twin sister of Apollo, connecting the current program to the original Apollo moon missions.

[Joe Susher]

I have a question. I hesitate to ask. It's going to reveal my stupidity. I think I know the answer. Does the moon revolve? Does the moon have an orbit?

[Matthew]

Yes, but the Moon always faces us the same.

[Kenny Olson]

Yes.

[Matthew]

We don't see the other side of

[Kenny Olson]

the Moon, and at the same time, the Earth is turning.

[Matthew]

So it's. So it equals. It goes like this with us.

[Joe Susher]

So. But a lot of times we could be sleeping, but what's up in the sky is the dark side of the moon.

[Matthew]

It turns when you're sleeping, when you're not looking.

[Kenny Olson]

It has to do with the rotates.

[Joe Susher]

No, I get that part away. The dark side of the Moon is not necessarily a mystery because the Moon is always turning. Turning.

[Kenny Olson]

Correct. We are scientists, so we should know this, right? My question for you, about to disappear.

[Joe Susher]

We got a youngster who might know this.

[Kenny Olson]

No, wait, wait, Einstein. Hold on, hold on, Einstein. Let me ask another question. How come right now the moon is full? It's setting directly in the west. From me, this, this way is west

[Joe Susher]

because of where you live.

[Kenny Olson]

But as that moon wanes, it's setting in the south.

[Joe Susher]

Well, ain't no moon waning in the west of me.

[Kenny Olson]

Okay, you're over my head, little Einstein. Tell me, why is it setting in the west now and in the south next week? What's going on there?

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

Well, the Earth moves. Depending on the season, the Earth is going to be in a different position around the sun. And the sun is larger than the Earth. So the Earth is pulled around the sun and the Earth is larger than the moon. So the moon is attracted to the Earth. So everything in space just wants to be by something that's bigger than itself.

[Joe Susher]

Oh, okay.

[Kenny Olson]

Now, kind of like me, let's go to the translation of what he just said. Let's go to Gabe's father. Matthew. Matthew, what did your kid just tell you?

[Matthew]

Got a couple of orbs up in outer space and they do their own thing. And sometimes they do what their parents say, and sometimes they don't.

[Kenny Olson]

That's what I heard.

[Matthew]

Yes. Thank you.

[Joe Susher]

What about the dark side part?

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

The dark side of the moon is called the dark side of the moon because the moon itself does not rotate. It's in orbit around the Earth. And you're only seeing the moon because the moon is reflecting the sunlight. That's Allah.

[Joe Susher]

I see.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

So the dark side will not never reflect light to us, but the people

[Joe Susher]

who live on Jupiter, they could see the dark side of the moon.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

They could if light was reflecting off of it. But the issue with that is Jupiter is light years away. Whatever the equivalent of one light year,

[Joe Susher]

it's a long journey.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

Is that full year. So if you're 2,000 light years away, you're looking at Earth. From that far, you're seeing the Roman Empire. You're not seeing our civilization.

[Kenny Olson]

Gabe, you have no business working on this show. You're fired.

[Joe Susher]

Can you ask me again, Matthew, what

[Kenny Olson]

in the Sam Hill did he just say?

[Matthew]

I'm gonna run to Cassettas and get a slice of pizza. I'm not really sure.

[Kenny Olson]

So, Joe, I will see you on the dark side of the movie.

[Gabe]

Wow.

[John Height]

I think what Gabe just did was he stuck both hands in his pockets, rattled some change and went. Well, I'll tell you something, Normie.

[Matthew]

Yeah, but we all bought it. That's what. That's what we are. We're schlaps.

[Joe Susher]

So the moon. Moon is not rotating, but it's orbiting.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

Yeah. The moon is going around the Earth. You're never going to see the opposite side.

[Joe Susher]

You're always.

[Kenny Olson]

The Earth is all wobbly, but because

[Matthew]

it's not rotating, does that mean. Is that why it doesn't have an atmosphere if it was rotating?

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

I mean, the Earth built an atmosphere over billions of years.

[Matthew]

Of course it did.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah. So you're not just gonna get one, right? You don't. To the store.

[Matthew]

Montgomery Wards Catalog. Can I get.

[Joe Susher]

I need an atmosphere.

[Kenny Olson]

Hey.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

All right.

[Kenny Olson]

You know when I learned that the moon doesn't spin? About three minutes ago.

[John Height]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

I had no idea. I thought the dark side was just the side.

[Matthew]

I was 57 years old when I

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

learned it could be rotating. But we. For some reason. But the way that it rotates, we don't see the other side.

[Joe Susher]

Let me tell you.

[Matthew]

What does it hide?

[Josh Arnold]

Let me.

[Joe Susher]

What. What's going on back there?

[Matthew]

What's going on? I'm seeing a Far side cartoon.

[Joe Susher]

That's why we're sending Artemis up there.

[Kenny Olson]

You know what? I can tell you Inbound 94 is running fantastic through Maple Grove right now. That's what I can tell You.

[Matthew]

I can tell you how to make a good Mississippi pot roast.

[John Height]

I can tell you who played the guitar solo on Steely Dan's Royal scale.

[Joe Susher]

John, do you have any more news?

[John Height]

I have a lot of news.

[Joe Susher]

Let's keep going.

[John Height]

I've barely started.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's go.

[John Height]

You're the one that asked.

[Joe Susher]

I know, but I'm trying to get it back on track here.

[Matthew]

Trying to look smart.

[John Height]

US job openings fell last month to 6.9 million. Hiring was weak. More signs of sluggishness for the American labor market.

[Joe Susher]

I'm tired of winning.

[John Height]

Labor Department this morning said that job vacancies led from 7.2 million in January. As you mentioned earlier, Joe, the Supreme Court hearing arguments today on whether the federal government can deny citizenship to children born in the US to parents in the country illegally or temporarily in attendance. Sentence for a little while anyway. Was President Trump. He did cut out after about an hour and a half. He didn't stay for the whole thing, listen to the government's arguments and then left the courtroom. Let me see. I'm gonna skip a couple to the

[Kenny Olson]

Christie story because I've got information.

[John Height]

Christie. Okay. Christy Noem story. We talked about that. Two newly released photos appear to show the husband of former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem cross dressing in private messages to a number of women. Women images allegedly part of a trove of hundreds of messages sent between Gnome's husband, Brian and three women. The father of three appeared to be pictured in hot pink underwear wearing a skin colored shirt with large fake breasts worn underneath.

[Joe Susher]

Home Depot breasts.

[Matthew]

Yeah. Right. Aisle seven.

[Kenny Olson]

And that's where my expertise comes in. I am. I'm well versed in. In bosoms. Those are double K's, fellas.

[Matthew]

Oh, they are.

[Joe Susher]

Okay.

[Kenny Olson]

And the nipples are in the wrong place for double K's.

[Joe Susher]

Really? Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah. They need to be down about 2 inches.

[Matthew]

How do you choose that field for so much research?

[Kenny Olson]

It shows me. Matt.

[Matthew]

Got it. Got it.

[Joe Susher]

Okay.

[John Height]

The New York Post reports the photos were taken while acting out a fetish called bimbofication that focuses on hypersexual exaggerated physical appearances. Another image appears to show Noam posing with large fake breasts in a tight light blue T shirt while making a kissy face. In a statement to the New York Post, a spokesperson for Christy Noem, you mentioned this. Joe said she was devastated by the discovery and the family was blindsided and asked for privacy and prayers.

[Joe Susher]

How do you explain that one to the kids?

[Matthew]

If you don't you want to accidentally see that or.

[Kenny Olson]

No no, what I don't get is he did nothing with his face. He's still, you know, there's part of the game. Yeah, there's no makeup, there's no rouge, there's no lashes.

[Joe Susher]

You want it all blonde wig on. Well, that's a point.

[Matthew]

Bugs Bunny lipstick. You know, with a mop head.

[Joe Susher]

Yes.

[John Height]

The couple's been married for more than 30 years.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, that explains it.

[Joe Susher]

Of course,

[John Height]

as everybody knows, she must

[Joe Susher]

be the noest, no go zone out there.

[John Height]

The noest.

[Joe Susher]

She drove. She drove him to this. The man can't be responsible. It's got to be the woman's fault.

[Matthew]

Maybe this will get her a 2 attention.

[Joe Susher]

Oh, yeah? Watch this. I'll shake her up. Flying around there with Corey Lewski or whatever his name is.

[Kenny Olson]

Plus she's walking around in those Levi's,

[Joe Susher]

Those tight jeans, six shooter on her hip. Yeah, 10. One of those really tall 10 gallon hats.

[John Height]

Tiger woods told authorities he was looking down at his cell phone and changing the radio station in his suv.

[Kenny Olson]

I don't know.

[Joe Susher]

You're not, Tiger.

[Kenny Olson]

You're not.

[Joe Susher]

You are dead on your.

[Matthew]

That's how all rollovers go.

[John Height]

That's what caused him to roll over. Martin County Sheriff's Deputy Tatiana Levonar wrote in an arrest affidavit that woods was sweating profusely and he was moving lethargically and slow when she interviewed him. He was arrested last Friday on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI with property damage. Refusal to submit to a lawful test. Martin County Sheriff John Boudenziak said Woods breathalyzer test didn't show any signs of alcohol. However, once he removed his sunglass, the officer noted the eyes were bloodshot and glassy and pupils extremely dilated. When Levonar asked if woods had taken any prescription medication, he stated, I take a few. Woods said he'd taken prescription pills. Earlier in the morning, another Martin county sheriff's deputy found two hydrocodone pills in woods left pants pocket, according to the arrest affidavit. Woods, for his part, now says he is going to get help.

[Joe Susher]

Well, if he doesn't, he won't make it to six because he's beating his body up with all that stress on his liver and kidneys.

[John Height]

Weird theft last week, Swiss food giant Nestle says 12 tons or 14, 413,000 candy bars of its Kit Kat chocolate brand were stolen.

[Matthew]

Holy crap.

[John Height]

After leaving its production site in Italy, headed for Poland, accompanied.

[Matthew]

My people love those.

[Joe Susher]

It's pretty easy. Polo thought they would get a high hijack Gold or something. That's candy bars.

[Matthew]

This is better than gold.

[John Height]

The company based in Vevey, Switzerland, said in a statement. The vehicle and its load are still nowhere to be found. The shipment of the crunchy bars made of waffles covered with chocolate, disappeared en route between production and distribution locations. They're supposed to be distributed throughout Europe. The missing candy bars could enter unofficial sales channels across European markets, the company said. It noted that if that happens, all prices products can be traced using the unique batch code assigned to individual candy bars. A spokesperson for KitKat said consumers, retailers and wholesalers would be able to identify if a product is part of the stolen shipment by just scanning the on pack batch numbers. If you find a match, the scanner would be given clear instruction on how to alert the company, which will then share the evidence with local authorities.

[Joe Susher]

All the ways to get rich. You still steel KitKat bars?

[Kenny Olson]

No, they.

[Joe Susher]

I think.

[Kenny Olson]

I think you were right. I think they made a mistake. Now there's thousands of gumars across Italy and Poland that have closets full of KitKats instead of jewelry and dresses.

[Matthew]

I'm going to Poland.

[John Height]

Where's everyone on Kit Kats on the show?

[Matthew]

I'm not.

[Joe Susher]

I don't like them.

[Matthew]

100. Throw them in the freezer.

[John Height]

I like them. Yeah, same as.

[Kenny Olson]

Not as good as Reese.

[Matthew]

I get that. Good snap. Now, Reese's peanut butter cups have changed their ingredients and this was told to us by Reese's. They changed the formula.

[Joe Susher]

What do you mean told to us? Your family. Did they come over to your house?

[Matthew]

The founder of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The son a friend of yours? No, but he was on the news saying the powder is different. It's not the same greasy type. And that's what the new owner of Reese's did. They changed the formula. That's why the peanut butter cup isn't the same as it was was in the 80s.

[Kenny Olson]

You got your peanut butter in my chocolate.

[Matthew]

Oh, those are great ads, weren't they?

[John Height]

Is it better, rook, or is it. No, it's worse.

[Matthew]

It's powdery. It's not. They tried to be more healthy. Reese's peanut butter cup. You don't need to be healthy.

[Joe Susher]

The point of that was never health.

[Matthew]

But they tried to to do that and they screwed it up. It's powdery. It's not. Not the same.

[Kenny Olson]

Here's all you need right here from St. Paul Minnow.

[Joe Susher]

Is that Pearson? It sure is, brother.

[John Height]

Those are.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah, those are good boy.

[Matthew]

We could use, you know, Pearson's shout out to you guys. We could use that salted nut roll. That's 15.

[Josh Arnold]

We don't.

[Joe Susher]

We don't do that on this show.

[Matthew]

Don't we? We don't plug Ola.

[John Height]

We don't have a counter in your.

[Matthew]

Remember, they would send us one every year in Maplewood. And even in February after Christmas time, salespeople would be chipping at it with the ball peen hammer to try to get to the new.

[Kenny Olson]

I think if they approached us, Matthew and I would have to wrestle to get that account.

[Matthew]

I would love to be able to steal it underneath you if I could.

[Joe Susher]

Well, that's mint. You held up. Those are hands down the best. Oh, without.

[Kenny Olson]

Here's how Kenny rolls right here. This is why I'm a hard ass.

[Gabe]

Wow.

[Kenny Olson]

I do this instead of smoking.

[Matthew]

You don't have to apologize for that.

[John Height]

Kenny and I had this discussion, I think about two weeks ago. You eat a couple of those with a cup of coffee.

[Matthew]

Oh, you got that good coffee.

[Joe Susher]

Good. Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

Custom roasting.

[Joe Susher]

Wow.

[Kenny Olson]

And Pearson's. They go together like chocolate and peanut butter.

[Matthew]

Stop doing ads, okay?

[John Height]

The driver, Kentucky cops say had just left a liquor store, smelled like alcohol and was found partially slumped over the controls of his of his ride. As a result, 48 year old Jorge Hernandez was arrested for galloping under the influence through a residential neighborhood in Bowling Green. Yes, that's right. He was atop a horse when he was hammered.

[Kenny Olson]

Nice.

[John Height]

Hernandez began to ride on the sidewalk. Cop performed a traffic stop. Hernandez reportedly smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and his speech was slurred. He told police he had just left the liquor store and was going back home. Tied to the horse's saddle was a liquor store bag, according to the report.

[Matthew]

Nice touch.

[John Height]

Formed a series of field sobriety tests. Failed them all. He was arrested for operating a non motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicants. After being booked into the county jail, he was released into the custody of federal agents pursuant to an immigration warrant. Hernandez arrest paperwork describes his vehicles make and modify model as other vehicles. Here is listed as 2024. Its color brown. The report does not indicate who took custody of the horse after the arrest.

[Joe Susher]

I don't think if you're on a horse, I don't think you should get arrested.

[Matthew]

That's going old school, you know, driving

[Joe Susher]

on the sidewalk, I don't care.

[John Height]

People who could be walking, leave them alone.

[Matthew]

They'll get out of the way.

[Gabe]

Right.

[Matthew]

You see a horse coming, get out of the way.

[Joe Susher]

Get out of the way.

[Matthew]

Right, there's.

[Joe Susher]

That's Clem again. Here he comes. Get out of the way.

[Kenny Olson]

Old family lore has it that my great grandpa used to go ride bareback into town on one of their workhorses and go on a little bit of a hoot. And then the horse would just drive him home. Knew exactly how to get home.

[Joe Susher]

Oh, that's horses.

[Kenny Olson]

And that's a fun story, but how do you get on a workhorse that doesn't have stirrups?

[Joe Susher]

He had friends that helped him on a horse.

[Kenny Olson]

I think it's all made up.

[Joe Susher]

BS probably.

[John Height]

Just jump on it.

[Kenny Olson]

Those things are tall. They're like 6, 7ft tall.

[John Height]

Democrats in the Minnesota House voted down a motion last week that would have advanced a bill requiring age verification for pornographic websites. So the Democrats didn't want that. Republican Representative Ben Bakeburg moved to place his bill in the general register, which is typically the last stop for legislation before it is taken up for a vote. His bill, House File 1434, would require websites where 25% or more of the web pages feature pornography to verify that a person seeking to access that website is 18 or older. The Democrats didn't like that. They bore that down, he said. This is a bill to protect kids. He noted that the Supreme Court upheld a similar law in Texas in a ruling last summer. Democratic Rep. Aaron Cagle said members of her caucus believe the bill is the right idea but the wrong approach. I guess there was just concerns in this bill. So she said. In a previous committee hearing, DFLers said they were concerned that the language of the bill was too broad and that it could be used against LGBT people.

[Kenny Olson]

What, they get to look at porn,

[Joe Susher]

but I don't know how that could be specifically Democrat well, here we go. Democratic Rep. Lee Finke said attorneys general in states with age verification law are almost jubilant about using those laws to ban young people from Accessing content that could be educational if they are queer.

[Matthew]

Okay, I don't have a comment on that.

[Joe Susher]

Can we get this bill to a place where we can agree we will not use this against content that is designed for people under 18 to educate them about themselves, their lives and their community? Thinking said.

[Kenny Olson]

So not just porn, but other content is what she's alluding to.

[Joe Susher]

A clip of Finky's comments went viral on social media. According to Cagle, Finky's comments were completely misconstrued. Put up online and on social media to make a target out of her. This is one of those bills that if anybody else but me gets up and speaks on, I'm sure one of our members will go put it on social media and try to get somebody killed, Cagle said, prompting audible objections from Republicans. I, you know what? The state, this state doesn't work. And this is another example of that. They're spending your time wondering about how they. The hell with them. Honest to God. I don't, I don't know what to think.

[Kenny Olson]

Can't kids just get by that by just confirming they are old enough?

[Joe Susher]

I don't know how it works. When I'm asked if I'm old enough, I just say yes.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, yeah, I would assume everybody does. You don't have to show your id.

[Joe Susher]

I don't know how it works. I just.

[Matthew]

You don't know. Sometimes, you know, sometimes you.

[Joe Susher]

I don't know, Matt.

[Matthew]

Huh.

[Joe Susher]

All I know is that we got eight top drawer scientists missing, dead.

[Matthew]

I can't explain this.

[Joe Susher]

And we're not being told what's really going on. There's a lot going on out there that we know nothing about and sound like diner. And apparently if we're told about it, we're thought to have not be able to accept. Accept it. See, my theory is I want to know about it. I will accept it and I will believe that it will bring about a great unification among all the peoples on earth.

[John Height]

Amen.

[Kenny Olson]

Speaking of unification, you know who you're about to meet in person in about 30 minutes?

[Joe Susher]

My girlfriend. I love her. Latricia.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah. I hope you stick around and say hi to her.

[Joe Susher]

I will.

[Kenny Olson]

She's really excited to come.

[Joe Susher]

What time is it? Your show?

[Kenny Olson]

We tape at 2.

[Joe Susher]

Oh, then she'll be here.

[Kenny Olson]

She should be here to meet and greet you. But Gabe has a full plate today, so I don't know when the show will be released. Usually before 6pm But Gabe's got a lot to do today, so we'll see.

[Joe Susher]

Yesterday, I believe Rookie, you were wondering when the traveling Lymans are leaving Penguin Tasmania.

[Matthew]

I had a serious concern when they had no.

[Joe Susher]

They're leaving in 11 days. And Tom did the math. That's April 12th. They're leaving. They're leaving only sleep now, tonight. Only because they come to us all the way from Penguin Tasmania. From the traveling linemans who [e-mail] it was on this day in Minnesota, April 1, in 1880, an act of Congress placed Fort Ripley Military Reservation in the public domain making the land available for settler colonists. The fort, located on the Mississippi below the mouth of the Crow Wing river had been established in 1849 and was abandoned by the army in 1870.

[Matthew]

Why don't they just abandon it?

[Joe Susher]

They had a place to go. On this day, April 1, 1923 Twin Cities Savings and Loan was chartered. The seven million dollar institution assisted thousands of area families in becoming homeowners. It was on this day, April 1st. On this day in 1920.

[Matthew]

Are you to any April Fool's jokes?

[Joe Susher]

There are. It was on this day in 1924, 600 women attended a women's Safe Driver automobile school at the YWCA sponsored by the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the St. Paul Association Safety Division and the Dunwoody Institute. How'd that work out for you? A lot of wrecks there. I bet There was a lot of jokes. Fender benders. Everybody needed Bradshaw and Bryant.

[John Height]

1924, and it still didn't take.

[Joe Susher]

Right.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

Whoa.

[Gabe]

Sorry.

[Joe Susher]

On this day, April 1st in 1984 future Governor Jesse the Body Ventura and Mr. Saito took on Baron Von Raschke and the Crusher in front of 18,000 people at Chicago Stadium in an American Wrestling association sanction matchup. Ventura and Saito won by disqualification.

[Matthew]

I remember handing Saito some of the salt he would hide in his hands and the Crusher came over and he would spray it in his eyes. But the Crusher didn't. It didn't faze him at all. He was so hammered already, he had had a bunch of beers and he came over.

[Joe Susher]

He liked the saloon, didn't he? The saloon.

[Matthew]

He would always miss part of the. You know, it's supposed to. I always say crush. It's supposed to be saloon. And he said, no, Jesse, it's saloon.

[Joe Susher]

Right?

[Matthew]

And I. That always confused me because it was spelled different.

[Kenny Olson]

Can I give you a Cliff Clavin Cliff note?

[Matthew]

Yeah, please.

[Kenny Olson]

The Crusher didn't drink beer.

[John Height]

What did he do?

[Matthew]

What was his. Oh, well, then why did he lie?

[Joe Susher]

He grew up in a saloon.

[Matthew]

He drank you know this why he didn't drink beer.

[Joe Susher]

I think he drank beer. I think he did drink beer. How do you know?

[Kenny Olson]

I know everything.

[Joe Susher]

You don't know everything.

[Matthew]

Reggie had a Cadillac and he drank a lot of beer. And he upset my grandma Gertrude.

[Joe Susher]

What was his last name? Reggie.

[John Height]

What?

[Matthew]

Reggie Lazowski.

[Joe Susher]

Reggie. And he grew up in Milwaukee.

[Matthew]

I think he was Ukraine.

[Kenny Olson]

Didn't drink beer at all.

[Joe Susher]

His father ran a saloon and the crusher hauled around buckets of it. I work out every day.

[Kenny Olson]

He'd have two kegs on his shoulders.

[Matthew]

He gave Polish people a bad name by drinking. Which made Rookie's grandma Gertrude. She didn't like him because he drank all the time.

[Joe Susher]

Thank you.

[Kenny Olson]

It's like a damn bursting, isn't it?

[Matthew]

I can't believe Rookie's grandma followed wrestling.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah, it's just.

[Kenny Olson]

You got to wait for the flow

[Joe Susher]

to EB on this day in sports disappointment history, who did we lose to today? Well, April 1st, you're supposed to. Oh, yeah. You did the right thing.

[Matthew]

I thought I.

[Joe Susher]

No, you did. You did the right thing. 1986, Clem Haskins was hired.

[Matthew]

I work hard with minister of programs. April Fool D day. One days.

[Joe Susher]

You were hired on April Fool Day? April Fool Day.

[Matthew]

One days.

[Joe Susher]

One April fool day was one days.

[John Height]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

One days. I remember one contracts. I had mock Udoff's. I come over to the house at the. It was East Cliffs over on R. Boliv. And we had, uh, lasagnas and it was, uh, uh, some salads. And he said, how much. How much do you want a contract for? I said, can I get $500,000 a year? And he said, well, that's a multiple year. And I said, that's a one year. 500,000.

[Kenny Olson]

Do you ever run out of words?

[Matthew]

I never run out of word. One word.

[Joe Susher]

On this day, April 1, 1989, the gophers lost to Harvard in overtime in the national championship game. I have to think that was Iceland hockey.

[Matthew]

Yes. Harvard beat us.

[Joe Susher]

Thank you.

[Gabe]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

I don't have any hockey.

[Joe Susher]

Shush.

[Matthew]

It's just me.

[Kenny Olson]

Neil.

[Joe Susher]

On this day, April 1st. Hey, Brock. In 2002, after threat of contraction, the Twins opened the season with a win over Kansas City. Oh, I think there were 21 outdoor openers at the old Mets Stadium and 14 of them were on or at after April 15. What is the schedule maker doing having these poor saps in town this week?

[Matthew]

April 3rd.

[Joe Susher]

Makes no sense. And finally.

[Matthew]

Yeah.

[Joe Susher]

No, it's not finally. Oh, really? It is finally on this day, April 1st. And no. Who'd we lose to?

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

Who'd we lose to?

[Joe Susher]

Oh, yeah. On this day in 2017, the loons didn't lose. They got their first win. See these sports, these sports, disappointment, history things. There really is no. They have a theme problem.

[Matthew]

Yeah. But the problem is, there is the disappointment is they won to give us hope. Even though they failed, you know, they imploded.

[Joe Susher]

Isn't the current team the Loons or are they Minnesota United?

[Matthew]

No, they're the Minnesota United Football Club. But they are the Loons.

[Joe Susher]

They're the loons.

[Matthew]

Yes.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah. Have you seen this button that's portending to be the angry loon?

[Matthew]

No.

[Joe Susher]

It's kind of a cool looking button. It's an angry loon and apparently it became very popular during this recent ice surge.

[John Height]

It's a symbol.

[Matthew]

What is it angry about?

[John Height]

Resistance.

[Joe Susher]

Yeah, the angry loon boy would be

[Matthew]

a great name for a band.

[Joe Susher]

I love loons.

[Kenny Olson]

They're irritated, irritating.

[Joe Susher]

Well, people that don't. Honestly. God, he doesn't like anything. He doesn't like peace. He doesn't like love. He doesn't like fun. He doesn't like quiet. He doesn't like bird noises.

[Kenny Olson]

The only people that like loons are city.

[Joe Susher]

It's.

[Matthew]

Oh, see, he doesn't like the city.

[Kenny Olson]

You don't have to put up with them.

[Joe Susher]

I like loons. I like to watch them go under and then try to guess where they'll

[Matthew]

come up and with a fish.

[John Height]

Well, your vacation is pretty exciting.

[Matthew]

Where's Papa Joe?

[Joe Susher]

He's done on the end of the dock trying to guess where that loon's gonna come.

[Kenny Olson]

He's out there predicting.

[Matthew]

Did you strap? Yeah, we strapped him to the bench so he can't move.

[Joe Susher]

Tied there with a big collar, life jacket on.

[Matthew]

He's good until life.

[Joe Susher]

We're afraid he might go out there with the loon, so we tie him down.

[Kenny Olson]

Somebody keep an eye on him.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

Jailers it's time for you to pick up the phone and call Mr. Money Talk Josh Arnold at 952-925-5608. That number again is 952-925-5608 for a free 48 minute financial consultation for straight talk and no sugar coated advice from the man himself. Josh, I'm curious if I should look for a company that has years of divide and is called a dividend king. Or maybe look for a newer company that has a higher yield. What do you have for me?

[Gabe]

Whoa. Well first off, investing in a dividend king that be a company that not only pays a dividend but increases the dividend makes a lot of sense, particularly for conservative investors or for that portion of your portfolio that you want to use as a head against market volatility. Higher dividend payers typically are not share growers and typically the higher the dividend, particularly on an existing company, may mean that dividend is cut or the share price has declined significantly and the dividend will be cut. New companies, Gabe, typically do not pay a dividend, but I do not necessarily look at dividends as my first look look at individual companies, dividends become a secondary item. I'm looking for companies that are able to grow their revenues and as they grow their revenues they're going to grow their earnings over time. And these companies also provide a product or service that typically is in high demand. Now if I'm looking, choosing, wanting to choose between high growth company and a dividend payer, well I'm typically opt for the higher grower and try to participate in that growth because the higher grower will typically do better than the dividend payer, at least in the short run. Higher growers can get parabolic in terms of their stock price and if they do go parabolic, it is time to take at least some or most of the money and take your profits off the table because that parabolic growth rate is not necessarily going to be sustained. So high growers during their zoom phase can become stocks. You want to trade or trade in and out as you participate in the grow good dividend payers. Well, a lot of those are going to increase their dividend on a regular basis. You also have companies that like to buy back share. Those companies that are buying back shares are reducing their share count, which is another form of return to you, just like a dividend is. But there are a lot of people, Gabe, who want to have the money in the pocket rather than having the company buy back shares. Now, not all share buybacks are necessarily good because there are companies that will buy back the shares and they might buy them back at too higher price and that limits their economic flexibility to put that money to work in other places. Now, the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett has typically said that buying back shares is the same asset allocation decision that management would make. But even looking at other companies to acquire and if your company offers a better value than any other acquisition, and that would be a good reason for a company to buy back share. Companies that have been buying back shares at least on a regular basis or companies like Apple has been buying back shares for a very long period of time and they seem to be very opportunistic when they do that. And that can provide support or stock in more volatile times. Apple also pays a dividend and has been able to increase that dividend at least on an annual basis. Apple, by the way, turns 50 today. And at first 50 years has brought about a tremendous amount of innovation from computers to earbuds and probably one of their best innovations, the iPhone. And it's very nice to carry a computer around in my hands that has more power than the computer. Helped put the man on the booth. Other good dividend kings I would look at would be companies like Coca Cola. Coca typically increase their dividend on a regular basis. They do provide a product that is in high demand or actually several different products that are in high demand. And people invest in Coke more for safety and the dividend yield rather than fast growth. But I do like, as they say, a Coke and a smile. And because. Because it's the middle of basketball playoffs or actually basketball playoffs are now over. It's the beginning of baseball season. Everybody likes a Coke and a smile and happy birthday to Apple. I hope that helps answer your question.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

It certainly does, Josh. I think the more that we talk, the more that I learn. And that's exactly why I want to pick up the phone and take a call. That number of GL ers is 952-925-5608. Take the a chance take the call and listen to the man, Mr. Money talk. Thank you so much today, Josh.

[Gabe]

I appreciate it. Yeah.

[Delegate/Guest Speaker]

I'll see you again tomorrow.

[Gabe]

Bye.
