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!!

If you are Gen X or older, you likely remember the days where the name Publisher’s Clearing House brought a level of excitement to your being. Dan has always wondered how they made money and apparently he was right to question that as PCH has officially declared bankruptcy. That means that people that won “for life” are no longer winners. Nicole and Dan talk about what that means for folks, magazines past and current and poor money management. 

Another cruise ship horror story (should they make this a regular feature of the podcast?)! A passenger on a cruise ship got STUCK IN A WATERSLIDE that was hanging over open water. No official word on the reason (did the waterslide malfunction? Was the passenger too big for the ride?) but the horror of the situation is the same. 

And finally a topic that really takes the team into the toilet. Literally. In China, there are certain public toilets that require you to view and ad before it will dispense toilet paper and Dan guarantees this will come to the US some day. This topic is a real spiral and we learn way more about the team’s bathroom habits than you likely want. But it is pretty funny. 

All of this and more on this week’s episode!

Hello and welcome to episode 114 of the Still Spinning Podcast, we appreciate you checking us out. Dan kicks us off by sharing a depressing fact about the sunset and how, in our area, the sun will now set before 7 PM everyday until next St. Patrick’s Day. So at least we all have that going on.

Nicole attended a baseball game over the weekend and people sat behind her, which would be fine if they were assigned those seats (and did not allow their child to kick her chair the whole time). Nicole brought the topic to Dan - if a seat is empty, how do you feel about someone taking it? What if it happens on an airplane? Dan told a seat swapping story that actually had a GOOD ending. 

A horrifying advancement in medicine. A man had part of HIS OWN TOOTH implanted IN HIS EYE to help correct a vision problem and apparently this practice has been around since the 1960’s?? Nicole has a visceral reaction to the whole thing and also brings up a fun “eyeball” picture story and Dan loses his mind a little.

And finally, would you take a “dark shower"? Not as kinky as it sounds, it literally means showering in the dark as a way to calm your system before bed. Nicole feels she would hurt herself and Dan has some questions about the whole thing.

Nicole’s husband has his first colonoscopy and Nicole was able to be with him in the recovery room and he said some VERY amusing things. This led to the discovery that Dan is afraid to allow his wife to be with him when he is under as he is afraid of what he might say as he is coming to. Throw in a chat about AARP and Dan’s Lasik surgery and you have yourself a laugh-filled segment!

We have not talked about a “Karen in a while” so sit back as we talk about a Phillies fan who made their news for her VERY entitled reaction to a foul ball. Dan clears up the unspoken rules around foul balls, who can go for them and who has any “rights” about them. Did you know Dan was a ball boy for a AAA team? He rarely mentions it…

The robots truly are taking over and this time, they are entering the massage parlor! There is a company that has created a massage table that does ALL THE WORK. Dan mentions he has seen something similar in an “adult” film and there is a general level of ick with this story. 

Like what you hear but wish there was more?? WELL THERE IS! If you become a “spinner” you get additional content once a week. More of the Still Spinning Podcast, what a thrill!

Hello and welcome to episode 111 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We hope you had a nice holiday weekend. 

Last week Nicole went to the Oasis show in Chicago and offers her review to kick things off. There were some not-so-great reviews from the “professionals” and Nicole has some issues with that. According to her, this is one of the BEST shows she has ever seen. Tune in to hear more.

Dan wants to go to Vegas, but probably not for the thing you think. He wants to go see the Wizard of Oz at the Sphere! He shares some of the reasons why and Nicole explains why she could never go (it has to do with barfing). Have you been to the Sphere? Please tell us all about it!!

Things are getting really spicy here in the US and by that we mean, FOOD. The current trend seems to be food so spicy you have to sign a waiver to eat it. Would you? HAVE YOU? Dan and Nicole give their thoughts on the trend and what they would, and would not eat.

Hello and welcome to episode 111 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We are so excited to be back for the live recording! 

Nicole had a HUGE laundry mishap the day we recorded this - she washed a fish oil supplement that was left inside a pocket and most of her clothes reeked of fish. Listen to the tale and try to guess if she is able to get the smell out. This also sparked a discussion around who is responsible for checking the pockets of the laundry. 

Dan was traveling the past few weeks and finally made it to the Canadian Starbucks, the reason he got a passport! He tells us all about his trip, his dog’s feelings about vacations and the Starbucks adventure he had across the border. Bonus discussion about a Canadian burger AND cows in Canada in general.

Snooping versus sleuthing - what is the difference and have you (or would you? Or should you?) do either? Divorce lawyers and psychologists weigh in on this and Nicole shares a personal story about Googling her now-husband when they first met. And if you are dating in 2025 and not doing some research, I am worried for you.

And finally, if you have a loved one with a tattoo and they DIE, are you cutting off that piece of skin and saving it? If you said yes, you are not alone! We discuss the story of a woman who did just that and Dan learns about one of Nicole’s tattoos’ live on the air!

Do you remember AOL? Do you still USE AOL??? AOL has announced they are getting rid of their dail up service and Dan and Nicole chat about what this means and ponder on who is still using it. It also leads into a whole discussion about “kids these days” and what they likely do not know about the internet, telephone and gasp FAX MACHINES.

There is a hotel chain that now has you check in with an iPad screen, chatting with someone likely in another state or event country. What fresh hell is this? Nicole and Dan discuss the loss of human interaction and what it means for us moving forward.

All of this and oh-so-much-more on this week’s episode of the Still Spinning Podcast.
