Growing up in Chicago, I had no understanding of what a State Fair was. That kind of thing was a “down State” kind of thing. Of course, now that I’ve moved to Minnesota, I now understand what an impact it has on a community. The same is true of Iowa’s State Fair. All around funny and good human being, Andrea Klaassen shares stories about interning at the Iowa State Fair in this episode!

Bad habits can be incredibly hard to break. Obviously, habits like smoking come to mind when one thinks of a bad habit. Sometimes, the habits can actually be quite weird and definitely in the eye of the beholder. In this episode, we explore all types of “bad habits” and the steps people took to break them. We end things with a drama skit from Ferrari McSpeedy.

A few weeks ago, the Minnesota Fringe Festival descended upon the city of Minneapolis (not to mention about 3 blocks of St. Paul) and bathed theater goers in hour long blasts of laughter, drama, dancing and uncomfortable shifting of butts in seats as they watched a family member perform monologues that was let’s just say…out of their league. In this episode, we chat with technician Deb Tallen, volunteer Kim Garvey and Ferrari McSpeedy once again exposes humanity for the sham it is.

Minneapolis is a pretty magical place. So magical in fact, that many of us have stayed here way longer than we originally intended. Most of our reasons for coming here aren’t all that interesting. Clarence and Nick have a very interesting story. It involves Alaska, hurricanes and New Orleans and a whole bunch more! Enjoy!

What is it about traveling that can lead to the best stories? I don’t know. I’m not a scientist. All I know is that when people travel, crazy shenanigan like things tend to happen. After listening this this episode, you’ll never want to go to Canada, fall asleep on a plane or use the restroom in Northern California ever again. As a bonus, I interview master traveler Caleb McEwen, who shares what life is like as an employee on a cruise ship.

This story was supposed to be in the injury show, however, I am a failure as a man. A gigantic Failure. However this story is not a failure. Far from it. It has depth, beauty, humor and bone breakage. It’s like the WWE in audio form.
