Fernando Alessandri writes about what superspies do in the retirement home
We always hear about the exploits of fictional spies - jetting around the country, womanizing, shooting people, and whatnot. Sometimes we hear about their origins. Life as a young pre-spy. But what about after? What happens when a spy turns 80 and his memory maybe doesn't work so great anymore? Agent Bigglesby, that's what.Check out his book at https://jamesprochester.com/. No, that's not a mistake or a typo.This guest was booked using PodMatch! Interested in being a guest on the show?

Nickels, dimes, and yen
Gas is expensive again. Cars are also expensive, largely due to dealership fees and taxes. Driving in general seems barely worth it. You don't need to drive to go to Tokyo, though, and with the yen as weak as it is the whole country is cheap. You do need to fly, but let the airlines worry about jet fuel prices.Topics:Gas prices are highBuying a car is an unpleasant experienceTokyo Disneyland is nice and cheap

Ellen Heuer's shoes do, in fact, talk
Ellen is a foley artist with decades in the industry. What's foley? We're glad you asked, because that's what we talk about the entire episode. We're in the podcasting business, which means spending a lot of time agonizing over audio, so we're in a somewhat adjacent field. We find it all very interesting. Hopefully, so do you.You can find Ellen's book If These Shoes Could Talk at her website, https://ellenheuerfoleyartist.com, or on Amazon.This guest was booked using PodMatch!

It's hot, the Twins are not
Bob calls in from his car to let us know that he doesn't think the Twins will win a world series ever again. Or something to that effect, anyway. Those women's teams though, they're sweeping. No wonder everyone wants to join them. And I mean everyone.Topics:It's really hot outMinnesota Twins/Vikings are badWomen's sports are goodMyGenderDolls in Minnesota schoolsTransgender athletesAlex almost dies to an errant hammer

Why are movies so long and expensive?
Do we really need everything to be a 3 hour blockbuster that costs $250,000,000 to make? I say no. Hollywood disagrees. Except for Avatar Studios. They know how to put out a good, reasonably non-bloated film.Topics:Andy saw Avatar Aang: The Last AirbenderMovies continue to be too longCarly Simon's numerous health issuesThe Rails to Trails paradeGabriel Langton almost broke his neck at the Commonwealth Games

KP Anderson makes his semi-annual pilgrimage back to Minnesota
KP has been coming on our show since nearly the first moment. His brother Joe also pops in from time to time. Today we're without Joe, but with plenty of stories about the Anderson family. We also ask why everyone is so hateful, because if we ask it enough we might one day get an answer.

Motor City is bringing back the silent film
Okay, it's not literally silent, but it does have very little dialogue. Next to none. Certainly less than the Evil Dead reboot, which is both wordier and gorier than Motor City. Sadly, the camp has left Hollywood for now, so both films take themselves quite seriously. At least they're not preaching at us.Topics:Tim's Buffalo Bill action figureHow a moment from two months ago can go viralMotor City is all action, few wordsEvil Dead Burn is extremely gory and not at all funnyTeddy Roosevelt has his own documentary
