In this episode I give a musical middle finger salute to the former leader of ICE here in Minneapolis, Greg Bovino.  The Ballad of Bovino, with lyrics by me, music by AI, is just the song these perilous times demand.  You can't dance to it but you couldn't dance to Masters of War or Eve of Destruction, either.  The kids won't sing along to it in the minivan and you yourself may only want to hear it once but it's certainly good enough for one spin.  The Vermont woman whose husband started dressing like a dime store cowboy took my advice and she got back in touch to tell me...

Just in time for the holidays-- a married couple is having an undeclared war over which one of them is losing their memory.  I try to help.  If your last name is Alzheimer or Heimlich how should you respond to the hack jokes you're going to get if you ever forget something or choke? Wolves have been seen in Washington state using tools.  Should we be thrilled to see evolution at work or horrified that our time at the top of the food chain is coming to an end?  What kind of mind does it take to work for FOX NEWS or the Trump administration?  Can you find out you're a...

Travelling for the holidays?  Are the kids asleep in the back of the van?  Then, check out this new episode.  In past episodes I have made fun of modern country music and its fans are mad.  They dared me to make fun of music that "you liberals like."  I have taken up their challenge.  Does my new song "Sick Folk" capture the essence of early 1960's folk made by Uber liberal middle class kids wearing turtleneck sweaters and singing about lives they've never led?  You be the judge!  A new client has had a change of heart and no longer wants their "Satan...

What happens after a puppy eats a pound...

Is it moral to pray for RFK JR. to die from a disease after refusing to get the vaccine that could have saved him?  You have questions, I have answers.  If sex for fun is a sin what will Heaven look like?  I have an audio answer.  If the internet told you you can fix your own lawn mower and you lost two fingers and a toe can you sue?  If you give someone the finger in traffic before they can even beep at you have you cloaked yourself in a shield of invulnerability which precludes your being guilty of anything?  Has Donald trump ruined golf?  I describe the...

Should transgender athletes be a big issue?  How many transgender people have you ever even talked to?  Will you ever see one in the locker room at the gym?  What would you say?  Did you know there are not only XX and XY chromosome people but XXY, XYY, XXX?  And what is XXXX?  How fragile is the male ego?  I saw proof it can be very delicate at my local golf course.  A client who lives on a course took my advice and loudly laughed at golfers from her patio after they teed off and swore a blue streak.  Let's see how that turned out.  Another...

We're through 2025's commencement address season. I don't mind lofty ideals and encouraging words but isn't a dose of realism also needed?  And that's where I come in.  My first attempts at Life Coaching might be in this unsolicited commencement address to our nation's grads as heard in my weekly feature Vague But True on the the Bob and Tom Show in 2005.  20 years later, was I right?  On tattoos I'll admit I was probably wrong.
