    Hello and welcome everyone to week 77 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Just an FYI, the next month or so is going to be a little bonkers with our schedules so keep your ears open for when/where our live stream(s) will be. We kick things off and spend most of this episode with a story about one of our hosts and a ride-share that gets into an accident. First off, Dan did not know about all the options you have when you get a ride share (like quiet, temperature control etc.) and as the story illustrates, you do not always get what you pay for. So what happens with a ride share collides with a taxi on the highway?! Guess you will need to tune in to hear the details. Dan's new dog is so great but there seems to be a language barrier. We hear all about it, how he discovered it and the training plan. This leads us down the path of police dogs and how they are trained, as well as how many languages they speak! It does not seem like a lot on paper but believe you me, it is a lot of content this week. Check out stillspinningpodcast.com to find out how to become a Spinner, buy some sweet merch (the holidays ARE coming) and listen to back episodes. Have a great week, everyone!

    Hello everyone and welcome to episode #76 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Dan kicks us off with a rant about "today's" music and how much he hates it. While Nicole can relate, it does make us all wonder if everyone of a certain age has the same reaction to these kinds of things. Nicole gives a brief recap on her trip to New Orleans which includes not one but TWO stories about inappropriate touching. Dan is just happy she made it home safe, even though she did not go to the ONE place in the city he asked her to go to (it has to do with Elvis). There is a new movie coming out based on the Broadway hit Wicked, and there is merchandise galore. But Mattel is in some trouble for not fact-checking the movie's website address and instead releasing a line of dolls with a website to a porn production company's site. You can only imagine the uproar! That box has been recalled but is sure to be a collector's item. They are proposing a new building in Manhattan and there are some ISSUES. The building is called Big Bend and you have to see it to believe it. Dan has a first thought about the building that honestly could get him in a lot of trouble. Nicole, along with folks in the chat, thinks it looks like the most terrifying building EVER and would never even think to enter it. And last, in 2024 there are some jobs that are obsolete. Some you would expect, some Nicole and Dan had not really thought about. But they discuss them all! Thanks so much for joining us.

    Hello everyone and welcome to episode 75 of the Still Spinning Podcast. On tonight's episode we talk about the end of October which means it is Halloween season! Dan shares his decorating and plan for the big night and Nicole shares a list of the most popular candy. Folks in the chat share their favorite candy as well and we reminisce about the days of razor blades in apples. A few airline stories make the podcast this week. The first is a new process American Airlines is trying out to prevent people from boarding in a group they are not assigned to. Dan and Nicole are all for the literal bells and whistles of this new program. At an airport in New Zealand, there is a crack down on how long people can HUG before they are asked to take it to the parking lot. It is pretty funny. Finally, the holiday season is upon us, and that is the gift of giving, but a story about an ANTI gift list caught our attention, and we chatted about it. Oh and also Dan has a new dog! We meet Charlie and get some real good pets. Thanks so much for checking us out. You can learn more at our website stillspinningpodcast.com. Next week's show is TBD as Nicole will be out of town, so watch our Facebook page to find out when we will be back on the air for the regular episode. Spinners will be getting some bonus content later this week.

    Episode 72: "Deodorant Drama, Redbox Woes, and Wedding Whoops" - Still Spinning Podcast with Dan and Nicole (Editors note: Nicole was "too tired" to write the summary for this week so she pawned it off on Dan. Dan knows Nicole is terrified of AI, so he used AI to write this summary.) This week on the "Still Spinning Podcast," hosts Dan and Nicole kick things off with a light-hearted jab at Dan for single-handedly canceling their much-loved bonus spin segment. What went wrong? Only Dan knows, but he's not telling! The episode takes an unexpected turn when Nicole recounts her bizarre discovery at Target: clearance deodorant with an aroma so unique, it's practically daring you to wear it. What scent could possibly be the last thing you'd want near your armpits? Tune in to discover this olfactory oddity! Next, they dive into the surprising financial fallout of Redbox's bankruptcy. How much is this affecting the small businesses and shop owners who host these iconic DVD rental machines? Dan and Nicole break it down, exploring the ripple effects on local economies. Wrapping up, they share a story that's sure to resonate with anyone who's ever received a wedding invitation. Imagine thinking you're attending the ceremony only to realize you're just there for the party. A couple's mishap with invitation clarity provides a lesson in wedding etiquette and expectations. Additional Notes: For more in-depth stories, behind-the-scenes content, or to join the "Spinner" community, visit stillspinningpodcast.com. Stay tuned for next week's episode where Dan promises to make up for his bonus spin blunder, plus more surprising tales and discussions that keep you spinning with laughter and intrigue.

    Welcome to episode 73 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Nicole was at a Kevin Smith convention last weekend and had a great time! Highly recommend his new flick, The 4:30 Movie, especially if you are a kid of the 80's. Bath and Body Works is in some trouble for releasing a new winter holiday candle with some questionable design work. It was brought to their attention that it looked like a certain racist organization's outfit, and Nicole agreed; it really does. Dan did not see it at first, he saw paper aliens, but when you look at it in a certain size or location... well, it is questionable. It is also just an ugly design, no matter how you look at it. Dan cannot believe that the new SpaceX launch (or more importantly, the landing) is not a bigger news story. When he talked about it on the air, Nicole was not that interested or impressed. But he sent her a link to the video after and even she has to admit, it is pretty impressive. The topic turned to who would travel to Mars and one of them would, one would not. Guess which one?! Lisa Marie Presley released a posthumous book, which has some very interesting information. The most shocking?? She kept her dead son's body in her house, on dry ice, for TWO MONTHS after he died. WTAF. There is also a weird story about some tattoo work, it really is a story to check out. Spooky season is here and Nicole and Dan chat about some movies that are spooky and ones with big twists that they wish they could see again for the first time. Tune into this week's episode for all of this and more!

    Welcome to episode 72 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We kick things off by talking about Dan's cat, who has turned into Houdini. He is an escape artist but a real homebody as well. Dan created a pretty ingenious way to alert himself if/when it happens. Dating stories abound and Nicole and Dan are both so happy to be "off the market." A woman went viral for sharing her shortest date in history story and why the date decided to end it after two minutes. Warning, it is not a very nice reason. This leads to Dan proposing a new kind of dating site that would be a huge success, no doubt about it. Our water can be HACKED and has been. Honestly, what is the world coming to. We chat about what happened, what it could mean and the fact that Charmin has changed their perforation and it has really riled up both of our hosts. Reading this summary you are probably thinking how did this take up 40 minutes and I would tell you but what would be the fun in that?! You have to check it out to find out. Thanks for listening! You can learn more about the podcast, sponsorship and merch by visiting our website at stillspinningpodcast.com. Thanks and we will see you next week!

    Hello and welcome to episode 71 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Summer is winding down but we are loving the weather over here in the Midwest. Dan and Nicole chat about weather and Halloween, turns out one of them really used to go all out for Halloween. Why did it stop? Tune in to find out. A whole lot of celebs died the week before we recorded this episode (or more have died since) and we chat about those folks and the loss. There is one in particular, a "sports guy," whom Dan gives Nicole some grief over, and then they play a little People's Court to see how Nicole passes judgment on him. Diddy has been IN THE NEWS. We chat a bit, on a lighthearted note, about Diddy and all his lube. Then things turn a bit more serious as obviously there are a lot of crimes and victims in this situation, and in others like it. To bring some levity back to the show this week, we talk about Dan and his terrible taste in steak temperatures. It came up because of a recent excursion he took to a steak house. We chat all things red meat and cooking temps. All of this and seriously, so much more on this episode of the Still Spinning Podcast.

    Hello and welcome to episode 70 of the Still Spinning Podcast! Just for fun, Nicole gets Dan all riled up about Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Starbucks in the fall. WORTH IT. Gen Z is apparently using more sick days that other generations and there are a few reasons for it. Dan guesses what they are and he is not too far off. But some of the reasons are Sus (that is slang for suspect). It also leads into a discussion on Gen X and how we NEVER call in sick. Journey, the band, had some issues with a live performance recently and it led to the singer going to social media to have folks vote on if he should quit or not. What the actual F?? Dan has some theories as does the chat. Tune in to hear some of them. There is a zoo in China that has been painting DOGS to look like PANDAS and they got found out. This story made Nicole laugh quite a lot, it is pretty unbelievable. And finally, a small British child has been denied a passport and you will not even believe the reason. Let's just say, the force is NOT strong with this one. We discuss baby names and parental responsibility. Thanks so much for tuning in!
