We're all over the map, figuratively and literally this week. Live from Fargo, North Dakota Governor and candidate for U.S. Senate, John Hoeven joins us in the first segment. Mickey Kaus (in Venice, CA) and Tucker Carlson (from D.C.) talk lists, mosques, and marriage with us in the second. Finally, a podcast exclusive: the resolution of the great Robinson Refrigerator Rodeo (with a shout out to ~Paules). We'd write more, but really you should just listen to it.
Rundown:
00:00 - 26:20 Opening Chat
26:20 - 40:00 ND Governor John Hoeven
40:50 - 1:10:24 Mickey Kaus and Tucker Carlson
Music from this week's show:
- Wake Up by Arcade Fire
- Going To The Chapel by Darlene Love

Wow, I totally forgot today is Thursday, to which I look forward every week, waiting for my fresh podcast. This week has been filled with Uncommon Knowledge. My brain hasn't worked this hard in years. Downloading now.

Wow, 50% Canadian content on the music. Even the CRTC (Canadian Radio & television Commission) the Canadian FCC, only require 30% Can-con.

Another great one. I'd sure like to hear from Charles Lollar if there is ever a spot open.

Peter, Have you read Shop Class as Soul Craft? It is a little "hippie", but as a handy man at home and work, it is an excellent foray into life after shop class in school. It sort of makes the argument that buying a new refrigerator because the $50 gasket is old, is a luxury we can but should not afford.
I also think it would be cheaper to pay for a round trip flight for me (I live in Washington DC) to come fix that gasket than it would to replace your refrigerator...
p.s You don't need to take the door off to fix it. You literally pull the old gasket out and put the new one in. They even come with instructions!

Ryan, I just this minute ordered "Shop Class as Soul Craft," which looks just marvelous. Re the fridge, I'm afraid I have to give you a glimpse into the complexities of our family life. My wife came home from her shopping excursion eager simply to replace the fridge altogether. She could tell from the look on my face that I had my doubts. Then I thought it over, decided that, since our current fridge is 16 years old, and since there is very little I could afford to do that would make as much day-to-day difference in the life of my wife, we really ought to get a new fridge. Whereupon I decided that now she was having second thoughts. Upshot? We've decided to defer the whole thing while we take our long-planned family vacation up in the mountains next week. (We've explained to the house-sitter that she'll need to put a new towel on the floor in front of the fridge every day.) Ridiculous. I know. But we muddle along.

May I say, as a fellow podcaster, that I am insanely envious of your guest lineups. I am amazed at the seemingly endless stream of smart and funny people who populate the Rico-Cast each week.

My father moved to a house he built a few years back, and he and his wife bought a new fancy washing machine. He refused to get a new dryer (he took the one from his old house) because, "It's just a heating coil and a motor!" If you're wondering about my instinct to repair your fridge, it's because I was raised by an unusually practical man.
I turned him on to you guys a few months ago, so if he reads this... Hi Dad, I'll call you later. that may be your first "blog comment shout out"!
This is a great analogy to the very near future of obamacare... We will soon start throwing out 70 year old _people_ because their hip is shot!!

My neighbor hates her dishwasher. But, it's brand new. So, she's waiting for her house to burn down so she can get a new dishwasher again.
