Paul Mecurio doesn't want to talk to a robot
· 25 min
(Part 3)Complaining about kids never wanting to talk on the phone is out. The newest complaint is robots always wanting to talk on the phone. You'd think a doctor would want to hear from their patient directly. You'd also think you'd go see Paul Mecurio at the House of Comedy this Friday and Saturday. No robots involved.

The definition of "lift"
· 30 min
(Part 2)DWTS had some drama the other day involving a lift. Or was it a lift? Depends on which definition you use. Choose the right one, because you might end up getting the Fresh Prince treatment. And if none of this makes any sense to you at all, you're far from alone.Carrie Ann Inaba claims Jenna Johnson got lifted, and Val Chmerkovskiy goes nuts. Did I get all those names right?You Can See Eve...

When worlds collide with your feet
· 30 min
(Part 1)The Disney Worlds Collide tour came to town. Tweens and their mothers rejoiced. For everyone else, there's foot-related content online. And by "everyone else" I mean hopefully an extremely small number of people.

Tim Harmston drives across the state just for us
· 30 min
Tim, famous for being Mary Mack's husband, moved up north because Facebook was too confusing. Or something like that, anyway. Why is he all the way back down here? Because he's at Acme, naturally. And you should be grateful, because after all, he's the funniest person in Minnesota. He's certified and everything.

Ryu vs. Jason
· 30 min
Hot off the tails of the Mortal Kombat movie revival, here comes Street Fighter. Is it as good? After all, they're both just movies about people beating each other up, right? And speaking of combat, Crystal Lake is here too, to tell us the story of what happened between the beginning of Friday the 13th and the end of it. Or whatever. You know what I mean.Topics:Street FighterCrystal LakeExtre...

Does alcohol make you want to watch documentaries?
· 33 min
Some people get mad when they drink. Some get sad. Some get happy. But we all get sad when we watch documentaries, because every documentary these days is a downer. We're going to guess that the latest crop is no exception. Maybe not the Norm Macdonald one. But even that's not a sure thing.Topics:AlcoholRelationships in the entertainment industryStreaming pricesNorm Macdonald documentaryEliz...

Don't drink while flying your car
· 27 min
There's a woman running for something or other in some place. Her interview has taken the internet by storm. You'll see why here. There's also a car taking the internet by storm but in a different way. That is to say, it's cool rather than sad and a little scary. Okay, it's still a little scary.Topics:Jaime West interviewTesla flying RoadsterMeta smart glasses recording by themselves

Christine Handy is back, and still not an opera singer
· 30 min
(Part 3)Last time we had Christine on, we only got a bit of time with her. Enough for her to talk about Walk Beside Me, a book that's not about Christine, but also is. Since then, that book has become a movie called Hello Beautiful. It's in theaters now, and we're always talking about how you should go to the theater.For more information about both the book and the movie, go to https://christineha...

In the shadow of Jimmy Stewart
· 30 min
(Part 2)There are some new things out. Keeping with tradition, they're kind of downers. The first is Jimmy, a movie about Jimmy Stewart and how being drafted into WW2 messed him up. Then there's In the Shadow of Eight, a book written by one of the "eight" in Jon & Kate Plus Eight. You can imagine how that one goes. Then we talk about MySpace for a while, because you gotta have a bit of fun.Topics:...

Be careful what you say
· 22 min
(Part 1)When you're a kid, saying weird stuff out of nowhere is cute. Even if that stuff makes absolutely no sense. But eventually you start saying things into a microphone, then a robot hears them and misinterprets them, and it's a big thing. This probably wasn't something you had to worry about ten years ago. Welcome to the future.Check out our Amazon storefront, including the products Kathryn m...

Bill Mendieta wants to know your pets' names
· 28 min
Bill is back, and this time he's announcing a show he's doing in LA. Unfortunately, if you're not willing to go to LA, you can't see it. You also can't have a coconut cake unless you're willing to spend $125. So there you go, two reasons to visit right there.

Scientology and mechanical birds
· 28 min
(Part 2)Tom Cruise is in trouble. Well, as much trouble as a man with infinite wealth and fame can be in: his latest movie isn't doing so great. But at least he wasn't told that he can't buy a mechanical bird.Topics:Digger is a major bombScientology and Tom CruiseMichael Jackson's questionable legacyKelly Clarkson attempts to purchase Molly the mechanical bird

House raids and birthday parties

(Part 1)Ilhan Omar's house got raided by the feds. Whether this amounts to anything or not, we'll see. Until then, let's talk orchards. It's orchard season, after all, and we went to a rather involved one over the weekend.Topics:Ilhan Omar's house raidedSage's many soccer gamesFall Harvest OrchardMichael Jordan jersey sells for 14 million dollars

Bob Drury is one of few authors who had shrapnel in him
· 31 min
(Part 4)Bob and his co-author, Tom Clavin, write about a man who was captured in WW2 three times, parachuted into German-occupied France twice, and forced some Nazi officers to toast FDR once. And the most interesting part is, it's all true. His name was Peter Ortiz, also known as The Phantom. Also also known as Das Fantom, depending on how German you are.You can get The Phantom here: https://us.m...

Carrie is not your Other Mommy
· 27 min
(Part 3)It's October, so it's time to get spooky. Carrie was pretty spooky, right? And by "was" I mean "is", because it's back as a miniseries. Other Mommy is also apparently great if you like being jump scared every ten minutes. Lastly, Nic Cage is in Stillwater. That's not really scary, but it is worth mentioning.

Mrs. Burtt goes to Ottawa
· 33 min
(Part 2)Want to be an audience member for DWTS? Apparently, it's free. Aside from the plane ticket. And lodgings. And the fact that you have like three days between being selected and having to be in studio. But you know, aside from that, no cost at all.Topics:DWTS studio audience lotteryTV viewership is downCategory 3 hurricane about to hit FloridaColin's big noKristyn in OttawaBrightline and oth...

Botched executions: more common than you think
· 2 h 02 min
(Part 1)Christa Pike is all over the news for having her execution botched. Apparently the same doctor who botched hers did the same thing to another prisoner just a few months ago. You'd think that would be impossible, but then we get into stories about pets not being put down properly, sedatives not being administered, and other fun stuff. It's a very cheery episode.Topics:U of M theme songSport...

Eating Chinese in our Geo Metro
· 27 min
(Part 3)Part 3 continues the stream of consciousness, where we start talking about Chinese food for some reason and never really stop. We also do a deep analysis of a picture a listener sent in that looks like it was taken from 1989.There is no part 4 today because part 2 was like an hour long by itself.

Jimmy's award-winning pickles
· 1 h 07 min
(Part 2)Jimmy Francis won second place at the 2026 On the Road Again pickle contest. He's even got a trophy as proof. He also brought the pickles in, making us de facto pickle judges. This episode is a weird one - we had two no-shows in one day (a first in our podcast's history!) so we just kind of let it ride. We started with pickles and ended with Chinese food. Because it's lunch and we're hungr...

We're the team
· 24 min
(Part 1)It's Amazon Prime Days. We have an Amazon storefront now. You know what that means: buy stuff from our storefront. Or else. Or else we won't make any money, I mean. Think about it this way: if you buy enough stuff, not only could we reduce our ad load, but you'd be more like us. And who wouldn't want that?Visit the Complete Disaster Podcast Amazon storefront at https://a.co/d/09gzqFa7!Topi...

The Vikings will definitely win the Super Bowl this year

(Part 4)You heard us. 100% chance of victory. Calling it now. And while we're being optimistic, the Falcons will also make it to the playoffs why not. The Titans and Dolphins? No, they're just bad. We're being optimistic, not pollyanna.

Tamara Dever, 70s and 80s music quizmaster

(Part 3)Tamara - or Tam, as they call her - has written two books with over 1000 music quiz questions between them. She's also written a children's book with 500 references to 70s and 80s music hidden in it. Needless to say, she's got her niche and she's making it work for her. She even did a bit of quizzing on the show today. Quizzing we knocked out of the park, I might add.For Tamara's stuff...

Lipomas, plague, and midterms
· 38 min
(Part 1)It's nothing but the four horsemen of the apocalypse out there. Lipomas may not be quite at the same level as plague, but they're still a form of pestilence. Sort of. Midterms are even harder to get rid of. They just keep coming back, and they bring months of attack ads with them. But then you've got Still Making Waves, the new show with Tom, John Hines, and Jack Hicks. There's no apocalyp...

Digger vs. Borden
· 29 min
(Part 3)Digger is out, and apparently it's pretty polarizing. Tim says it's good. Critics do not. Apparently you'll have to watch for yourself to determine if you love it or hate it. Kind of like the Lizzie Borden season of Monster, which Tim does not say is good.Topics:DiggerCoyote vs. AcmeLionessLizzie Borden
