Hello and welcome to episode 125 of the Still Spinning Podcast. First off, some bad news. There will be NO EPISODE next week. The holidays are the busiest time for us performing folks and next week the schedules just do not align. We apologize and hope the week off from us gives you a chance to miss us and then our return will be full of glory!

In today’s episode, who should pay for a kid when a group goes out to dinner? And not like McDonald’s, although that is now somewhat expensive, but to a nice restaurant. We also throw in the idea of splitting the bill in general, how do you feel about that whole experience?

Next up Dan shares some information Nicole did not know about flying without and ID. Then they get into the real topic, what happens if you want to fly without a REAL ID? Think you are just out of luck? Turns out, you can if you pay a “fine.” Check this segment out for more details.

And finally, the penny is gone and are paper checks next? Do we even need/use them anymore? Dan and Nicole talk about their check usage and really how strange the whole concept really is.

Thanks for tuning in! Have a great week next week and we will be back on Monday, 12/22, at 7 PM LIVE on all the socials. See you then!

Hello and welcome to episode 124 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We will NOT be live next Monday but we hope to record an episode to drop at the usual release time of Wednesday. The holidays are the busiest time for us performing folks so we may have a few schedule irregularities over the next few weeks.

Did you know that the day after Thanksgiving is known in the plumbing industry as “brown Friday”?? We had no idea and wow, does it make sense. This very tasteful topic is how we kick off today’s episode.

The US Transportation office has launched a new campaign, asking folks traveling by air for more civility. An interesting concept, will people do it? We chat about their ask, what it entails and then a tale of a person who absolutely did NOT follow this rule. What is the most disgusting food you could bring on a plane? Think about it, tune in and see if you were right.

Dan found a story about a cruise line that is really making a splash… with nude cruises. Would you do it? The team hashes out the good, bad and ugly on this topic. The pool deck will never be the same.

All of this and more on today’s episode!

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.

Have a wonderful holiday! Spinners, we will talk to you the day after Thanksgiving.

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.
