Hello and welcome to episode 123 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Happy Thanksgiving Week to everyone! Dan and Nicole are very thankful for you all.

A story out of Wisconsin about a woman who cut off her ankle monitor at her group home and escaped. Isn’t the whole point of the ankle monitor to be fairly sturdy and impossible to remove? Dan has some great information and a recap of her case, as well as some info about her “escape.” No need to be frightened about this one, she has been caught (again).

In this day and age, you have to assume someone is ALWAYS listening. A Campbell’s soup executive found out the hard way when a direct report recorded him saying some VERY unflattering things about both the product AND the customer. Oh boy. Also Dan and Nicole hate tomatoes. It comes up in this segment so consider this a spoiler.

And finally, the best cheese in the world has been named and no it is not from Wisconsin. Nicole, for one, would love to be a cheese judge but only for cow. Sheep and goat cheese are both disgusting.

Hello and welcome to episode 122 of the Still Spinning Podcast.

A rare topic where Nicole agrees with some lawyers and Dan does not. If you get a window seat on a plane, do you actually GET a window? SHOULD you? That is the springboard for tonight’s episode. United Airlines is being sued for just this very thing and where Nicole stands on the issue may surprise you. We also find out if Dan is window or aisle and why.

The Louvre, maybe the world’s most famous museum is in the news AGAIN, this time for letting art get smuggled INTO the museum!! It is quite a story. Dan also shares an enlightening conversation he had with an artist friend of his and why he ended the conversation by telling said friend to “shut up.”

Think you know the fastest drive through in the US?? I bet you do not! Both Nicole and Dan were surprised by the results of the new quality/speed survey that just came out. They also chat about a new service some are offering where they have their own drive thru lane if you ordered on the app! Very cool stuff happening, that is for sure.

And finally CHESS BOXING is the newest sport to hit (pun intended) the streets. What is it and who is doing it? You need to tune in to find out!

Tonight is a very special episode of the podcast, our very first with a guest! The day we recorded this episode, November 10th, was the 50th anniversary of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. This episode is dedicated to that tragedy, the story around it and the Gordon Lightfoot song that tells the sad tale. We are so sorry to tell you, you WILL learn something if you listen. Consider that your warning.

We appreciate you checking us out! We will be back next week, we hope to see you then!

Hello and welcome to episode 120 of the Still Spinning Podcast. It is officially fall and it feels like it, the chill is in the air, but we are ready for it! We accidentally start off the podcast by talking about the newest slang term “the kids” are using these days and it is 6-7. It really means nothing and it causes Dan and Nicole to recognize they are moving the podcast into a “kids these days” direction but they are just embracing it at this point.

Speaking of kids these days, they are living with their parents at a much larger rate than previous generations. This leads to a discussion on the whys (job market, housing prices) as well as the social side of things. There is also talk of Vegas, partying and how AI will be the death of us all.

Which is a nice segway into our next topic which is all about big companies laying off massive numbers in their workforce because AI is taking over their jobs. Are there any jobs that cannot be done by AI? We discuss this along with what it all means for society in general.

A hot topic in most houses with a dishwasher is do you need to clean the dishes before you put them in? A new study is out and the experts have weighed in saying that with the new machines and the new cleansers mean you do not have to do anything except scrape off the big pieces and throw them in. Is that how it is done in the Spin team’s houses? Tune in and see.

Over the weekend there was a VERY ballsy robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Who knew you only needed a ladder to steal from one of the most famous museums in the world! Dan and Nicole discuss what happened and whether or not they could pull off a heist.

Amazon’s could service went down on Sunday night/into Monday and holy cow, it created some major headaches and inconveniences across the US. Dan had to actually enter a Starbucks, stand in line and place an order instead of using the app! We will likely never know the extent of what happened but we sure felt the effects.

And lastly, Delta airlines is getting some press for a fine print contract requirement that is leaving some folks stranded. It has to due with presenting the credit card used to purchase a flight when you try to take your trip. Something to know about, especially if Delta is your preferred airline.

Next week will be our Halloween episode and things may just get spooky! We hope you can join us.

Hello and welcome to episode 118 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We are so glad you could join us. Nicole attended a pop culture conference over the weekend and gave us some tidbits from her time there.

Kicking things off, Dan tells us what his neighborhood is all up in arms about and it is dog poop. Should you put your bag of dog poop in someone else’s garbage can? Apparently folks in his neighborhood have some OPINIONS on this so he decided we should chat about it too! What about putting anything else in the can? Or in the recycling container.

Google just announced they are changing their “work from anywhere” policy while still allowing work from home. This paired with another story about companies hating "microshifting" while employees loving it, see Dan and Nicole chatting a lot about working life, getting things done and what they think the best way to do both is.

Hello and welcome to episode 117 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Fall is officially here everyone!

Dan tells us a story about his Starbucks and how he is trying to influence their pop culture knowledge. It involves his order (a “Dan Latte”), a name and the movie The Birdcage.

Toilets were in the news quite a bit this past week. First off, Nicole found an article about a UK company that makes a toilet that is not level, it has a slant to the design which makes it uncomfortable to sit on for longer than 5 minutes. It claims to be “for the user” but since they are marketing to companies, we know they just want to limit employee time in the bathroom. The second toilet story is how prolonged sitting on one can cause hemorrhoids. Two great stories that go great together.

Dan tells us about a Wisconsin gas station chain that is not going to accept pennies anymore. This led him to a big discovery that he was unaware of and that left him shook. What did he find out and how will it impact us all? You need to tune in to find out.

Driverless cars are getting pulled over and it begs the question, who is getting the citation?? This also brings up Nicole making a statement where U-Turns at a controlled intersection is illegal but apparently it is not?? Her world was shattered. This segment might be the most off topic Nicole and Dan get.

Finally Arby’s has a new item Dan is REALLY excited about and it better not be for a limited time…

All of this and so many tangents on this episode of the Still Spinning Podcast.

Hello and welcome to episode 116 of the Still Spinning Podcast. October is here but the fall weather is NOT. Dan tells us the tale of his non-working air conditioner and his fairly elaborate system of cooling down the house.

The newest craze to hit the workplace is “coffee badging.” Dan gives us all a rundown, Nicole tells you what she thought it probably meant and we all remember quarantine. Is the grass always greener, maybe as we chat about wishing we had “regular” jobs we could clock out of.

Speaking of jobs, a delivery driver in Texas should get a raise as he noticed some odd items in a delivery to a hotel and notified police. Police found a hostage situation when they arrived and based on the shopping list, it is fair to say that he saved a life. What did he have delivered, you may be asking yourself. Well, you have to tune in to find out.

If you could go back in time and “take out” someone who is currently dead, who would you take out. I mean, we all know the obvious answer but Dan has a unique answer that really throws Nicole for a loop and takes the team on a real journey.

And finally, Time Out magazine released a list of the 10 “coolest” neighborhoods in the world and the US has only one mention. And it happens to be the very neighborhood NICOLE lives in! Now, can we say it is because she lives there, maybe not. But it cannot hurt!!
