The Still Spinning Podcast

Welcome to episode 19 of the Still Spinning Podcast.

 

The summer is almost over, and plane travel is in the news. One airline is introducing Adults Only flight sections and Dan has a surprising opinion on that. We also discuss window versus aisle seating and how we travel with our significant others. There is also a "story" about an influencer who was asked a question that they took to TikTok but is it really a story? Can an airline just take away your seat? We discuss.

 

A story that is not for the squeamish! A woman in Australia had a WORM IN HER BRAIN. As if we do not have enough to worry about. Listen in as Dan and Nicole gross themselves out, telling the tale.

Welcome to Episode 18 of the Still Spinning Podcast! This episode was broadcast LIVE on 08.28.23 via Facebook! Make sure you follow us on Facebook and YouTube to watch us when we live record our podcasts! (about once a month)

 

We start with a story about the alley behind Nicole's house and her doing something illegal in it. This ought to be good! 🙂

 

A man has worked for a Burger King in Las Vegas for the past 27 years and he's NEVER MISSED A SHIFT! NEVER EVER! His 27-year anniversary gift is a bit... underwhelming. But kind of like Nicole's alley story, it has a happy ending. (Wait. What?)

 

Dan is under the impression that he can win an election for President of the United States (and this time around, he might be right) and has a new constitutional amendment that he'd like to propose.

 

Finally, can you guess which generation wants to go back to a time before cell phones and the internet?

Welcome to episode 17 of the podcast. It is nearing the end of summer and it is HOT. But will it be as hot as Nicole's iPhone says it will be? Dan says no. Tune in to hear more on this hot topic. (see what I did there??)

 

Do you know who has the number one song on Apple's country music charts? I assure you, you don't. That is because nowadays anyone can record and release their own music and be a success. We discuss the role of the entertainment "gatekeeper" and what is happening in the industry. Nicole also uses the word "anyhoodle" in a sentence. Try it, you might like it!

 

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... unless it is a story about a hacking convention that happens there. This year there was an added competition that has to do with tricking AI. Tune in to hear how it went. And why you should continue to be scared of the role AI is playing in our world.

 

McDonald's has a new "As Featured" menu. Nicole tries to explain it to Dan this week. Did it entice you to go buy something?

 

Also, make sure to mark your calendars for Monday, August 28th which is the very first LIVE episode of the Still Spinning Podcast! Tune in to either our Facebook page or our Youtube channel and you can chat at us live during the episode. We will start around 8 PM Central Time.

It's episode sweet 16 of the Still Spinning Podcast!

 

Concerts are getting expensive. If the internets are to be believed, people are taking part-time jobs to afford tickets to shows they want to see. Is that really happening? We will pretend that it is so we have something to discuss. In other concert news, people are complaining that people who paid more for tickets than they did are getting better seats. (Yup. We've reached that level of dumb.)

 

Also, speaking of expensive concerts, Nicole saw Pink at Wrigley Field in Chicago. She'll recap.

 

San Francisco has lots of "robo-taxis". That would be taxi cabs that have no drivers. What do you think people are doing in these cabs that basically serve as cheap hotel rooms for 30-40 minutes? Go ahead. Guess. Then picture yourself being the next to ride in that cab.

Welcome to episode 15 of the Still Spinning Podcast. This one comes to you a day late because Nicole was in a Wisconsin State Fair stupor. Find out some of her favorite, and least favorite foods of the 2023 Fair.

 

Dan was also out of town this weekend doing stand-up and he had a joke hit harder than it ever had. Tune in to find out the joke and why this audience took their applause up to 11 for it.

 

American Airlines had a captain's flight announcement go viral. Find out why and how exactly does it tie into a story of 7-11 employee beating someone with a mop handle?! Dan and Nicole share their take on both topics. We also hear a bit about Dan's trip to New Jersey and the part of the airport where you really see humanity in all its forms.

 

Zoom has kept the remote workers working for years. Now they want their own employees back in the office. Hardly seems fair but a lot has changed in the working world and we talk about those changes and where we fit into it all.

 

Right at the end, we hear about Nicole's friend Kellie and what atrocity happened to her at the Fair.

Welcome to August everyone! We kick off episode 14 with Dan telling us about the weird ads he is getting on his computer, a direct result of something he did for the show.

 

What is happening at live events?? More and more people are throwing things at performers and it is not ok. Who needs to step up and stop this kind of behavior? What would deter people from throwing crap? We have some thoughts.

 

There is a new TikTok trend called "girl dinner" and Nicole is fairly fascinated by the trend, but also thinks the name is BS. A popular restaurant chain just added "Girl Dinner" to their menu, check out the episode to find out who. Also Nicole talks about the best way to make movie theatre popcorn at home.

 

We all knew it would happen, fatalities caused by self driving cars. Tune in to hear the story and our take on it.

Welcome to episode 13 of the Still Spinning Podcast! Lucky 13! We are smack dab in the middle of Fair season (county, state, renaissance) and Dan shares a story about the Waukesha County Fair that should be a nice thing but, of course, people had to complain about it. What did they do that "people" were so upset about? Also find out what Nicole's favorite thing/place is. We also talk about reviews on websites and Dan shares a life-hack. Get ready to have your mind blown and, I am so sorry, you will learn something from this segment.

 

Domino's Pizza now lets you just drop a pin and they will bring you a pizza. Dan has witnessed it and we have some thoughts about it. We also talk about some "new" ways a few other systems are using non-humans to get things delivered and they are both cool and scary.

 

And finally, is house arrest a real punishment?? A woman in Chicago just got house arrest as part of her sentence. She ran a successful "adult" business and we also talk about whether is should be legalized. There may also be some terms and descriptions some folks may have to Google.

Welcome to episode 12 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Big news out of Hollywood this week, SAG-AFTRA (the actor's union) began a strike. What will this mean for content? Dan thinks this could potentially backfire. Tune in to see why.

 

Do you use GrubHub or UberEats? Dan overhears a conversation between two deliver drivers that brings some tipping practices into light. Nicole and Dan then weigh in on what they think the "right" criteria for tipping these kinds of jobs. Do you agree? Disagree? Tell us why in the comments.
