The Still Spinning Podcast

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.  Thanks so much for joining us!

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.  Thanks so much for joining us!

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! Thanks so much for joining us!

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.

Hello and welcome to episode 109 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We did a special pop-up live event on Facebook for this one since we missed our “normal” live night on Monday.

Nicole went to the State Fair last week and was able to give a recap of some of the foods she tried and liked, some she did not and the disgusting thing her husband ate (she will add a video to the FB page). Think these Fair Foods sound good? What is YOUR favorite food at the fair? Send us an email! The weather was BONKERs in Wisconsin and Dan has some real life experience dealing with it. He talks about it and then gives some solid advice about police barricades and what you should, and should not, do if you encounter one.  And finally, there is a zoo that is asking for “pet food” donations… as in “give us your pets to feed to the big animals here at the zoo.” It may not be as bad as you think, tune in to hear all about it.  Next week we will not have the Monday live event (again) as Dan is traveling to Canada to finally use his passport to get Starbucks! But we will have an episode drop next Wednesday as well as bonus content for the Spinners. 

Hello and welcome to episode 108 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We call this one the “altered state” podcast. This was pre-recorded as Nicole is at the State Fair on the day we usually go live, please enjoy! A new CDC report came out about a pizza place in Madison, Wisconsin that accidentally used THC (pot) oil when making their pizzas and it has been ruled an accident so no charges have been filed. How on earth could this happen and how was it discovered?? Tune in to hear the full story and listen to Dan and Nicole chime in about pot use.  On the other end of the spectrum, Dry Weddings are the newest trend and we have some thoughts. Nicole has some experience with it as well. Miss Manners we are not but we do our best to talk about the dos and don’ts of this new “I do” trend. All of this and oh-so-much-more on this episode.

It was a tough week for Gen X kids, those of us who grew up in the 80’s. We lost some BIG names in the past week and Dan and Nicole discuss the losses, the lives and how it feels as though celebrity deaths are getting closer and closer to us. RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne.  A recent American Airlines flight had to evacuate the passengers via the slide and of course there is video. Side note, is there ANYTHING happening in the world that is not being captured on video?? Ah the “joys” of 2025. Anyhoodle, Dan has some thoughts on the evacuation and some issues that no one is really talking about. This leads to a whole discussion on if Dan and Nicole would help in this kind of situation (spoiler, the answer is yes) AND how Dan would run things.  There is a town in France who wants tourists to PUT ON THEIR CLOTHES. Topless-ness is an issue for both men and women in this town and they are sick of it. Cover it up folks! Nicole was recently in Moline and saw a person with no shoes walking all over. It is a whole vibe and discussion on the podcast this week.  The live recording is OFF for next week (August 4th) as Nicole will be at the Wisconsin State Fair (aka her happy place) but there will be a regular episode release on Wednesday as well as some bonus content for the Spinners this Friday AND next! Have a great week everyone and thanks for joining us!

Hello and welcome to episode 106 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We hope you are enjoying your summer. We kick things off by talking about the story EVERYONE was talking about this weekend - the couple on the Coldplay Kiss Cam that looked super dodgy, and for good reason. Turns out they were having an affair. This leads Nicole and Dan to talk about privacy in public spaces, what you can trust and what you cannot and AI. We read a statement that we thought was credible but may wasn’t?? It really is impossible to tell what is real right now but we do our best.  Also on tonight’s episode, a man was sucked in an MRI machine and honestly we may present more questions than answers on this one because there are so many questions to ask. Have you had an MRI before? Has ANYONE ever been allowed in the room with you? So many things we wonder about. Those pesky Zoomers are at it again, this time it is with their phone etiquette (or lack there of). It is 2 fold. First, they will not say hello if you call them, they wait for YOU to talk. Second, if YOU use the word hello, they judge you and think you are old. You know Nicole and Dan have some thoughts on all of that. And finally, did you know that excessive sweating can cause problems for you at the TSA checkpoint in the airport? Tune in to find out what the problem is and which host hates the word MOIST. You might be surprised. All of this and oh-so-much-more on this episode.

Did you know that any public venue needs to pay fees to play music? Well the two companies that gain from this, ASCAP and BMI, are cracking down on folks using the music without paying a fee and it is costing small businesses a lot of money. There is also some sort of stealth peer reporting happening and it is ugly. Tune in to hear more. In Japan you can hire someone to quit your job for you! Nicole thinks this is great but Dan believes it is indicative of a bad employee. They argue on this one, who do you side with? The new honeymoon trend is getting rid of the sexy by bringing your parents or other family along. We have some serious questions about WHY you would want to do this and in what instances could we see it being helpful. And finally we discuss the “proper” way to shower and it does NOT involve influencers! Thanks so much for joining us, we will see you next week!

Gen Z, who apparently are being referred to as “Zoomers”, have pissed off a new sector of the world - bartenders! How and why? We discuss. We also talk about how this generation seems to have been changed by the pandemic, maybe more than any other. There was a story in the news about a dad who was being hailed a “hero” for jumping off of a 4th floor balcony of a Disney cruise to save his kid, who had fallen into the ocean. You had to read quite a ways into the story to discover that dad had placed the kid on a railing… and then the kid fell in. We discuss whether the term “hero” is applicable in this case.  Microsoft is saying goodbye to their “blue screen of death” but will it ever really go away? The names of things are changed all the time but people still refer to them as the old name (hello Sears Tower). We also talk Mac versus PC and let’s just say, both Nicole and Dan have a strong preference.  And finally, did you know that USPS has special CREMATION BOXES? Nicole is stunned there is a need and Dan is surprised Nicole is stunned. There is much talk of shipping costs and Dan gives everyone a website to check out the next time they need to ship anything. You have to listen to find out what site he mentions. Thanks so much for checking us out! We will be off next Monday but will be back in the middle of July!

Hello and welcome to episode 103 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Sit back and enjoy today’s episode (although today, you just may learn something). We start off by apologizing for a tech glitch that removed all the previous episodes from our website and then discover a current tech glitch that impacted the recording of this episode. SO FUN! Microsoft released a report in which they describe the current work environment as the “infinite workday.” Meetings that start between 8 PM and midnight, constant interruptions, pings and texts well past business hours are all mentioned in this report. Dan shares his love of reading focus books and trying to organize his time, Nicole shares her strengths and weaknesses in this area.  Dan counters this story with one talking about how people are using AI and programs to make it LOOK like they are working, but they actually are not working at all. We also dip our toe into working from home, is it effective and how things have changed since the pandemic. And finally, getting stuck on a roller coaster is one of Nicole’s true nightmare scenarios. We discuss along with the reason Dan does not care for roller coasters (or thrill rides in general). This is the segment where you actually might learn something and for that we apologize.  Thanks for joining us!

Hello and welcome to episode 102 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We love that you are here! Kick back and enjoy today’s topics.  First on the docket, a museum in Verona, Italy has a message for patrons and it is “respect the art.” This please comes after a couple sits on and breaks a “priceless” work of art. Of course Dan has to get his “how is this even art” rant in a few times but that aside, these people broke a piece of art and then just left. Can you imagine? We can and we discuss. It also leads to the revelation that the Louvre is currently closed because it is too busy, which Dan has some choice thoughts on. We also pepper in a short discussion about stores choosing/needing to lock up certain items.  Second up, Dan found an article on Tips for Tipping that he actually agrees with and we have to take a moment to recognize what a monumental event THAT is. This article lays out some tipping etiquette and it is pretty spot on. Listen and see if you agree and if you follow the rules yourself. Lastly, a new study was released by a group at Yale around life expectancy and the states that experience the longest (and shortest) life expectancies. Dan guesses and is pretty spot on for most of them. We give out “expert” opinions on they why behind the life spans. All of this and more on today’s episode! We appreciate you checking us out!

Hello and welcome to episode 101 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We kick things off with Dan saying F New York, specifically for the toll costs and taxes and F Chicago Traffic, for obvious reasons if you have been here. He had to take a road trip last week and boy, he had some choice words about these two things.  We have talked a lot about AI and how it is taking over the world and last week a story came out about AI trying to “stay alive” in a variety of ways. It has been found to rewrite code, copy itself to external servers and in one instance, blackmail an engineer. It is hard to not feel like we are living in a Sci-Fi movie, but here we are. Also peppered in a virtual job interview that went viral because the person being interviewed did not feel like they looked very good that day so they were using a filter that made them look like breakfast. Oh what a world we are living in. A terrifying story out of O’Hare. A DoorDash driver got lost and ended up on the tarmac and parked next to a plane. So many things to be worried about here, it is hard to know where to start. Although starting with SECURITY would be a great first step. Also who is ordering DoorDash from the airport?! And finally a feel good story about some very smart parrots in Australia who have figured out how to open trash bins to forage for food and now they are using drinking fountains to wash all that food down. Smart birds who are just learning how to live in a modern world.  All of this and more on today’s episode! We appreciate you checking us out!

Buckle up, listeners, because The Still Spinning Podcast with Dan and Nicole has hit the big 1-0-0! In this landmark Episode 100, our hosts are positively buzzing with excitement, popping corks and sipping drinks to celebrate this epic milestone. Recorded with glasses raised and spirits high, Dan and Nicole bring their signature wit and charm to a whirlwind of quirky, thought-provoking topics that’ll have you laughing and pondering in equal measure. First up, the duo dives into a hilariously unexpected debate: Is the Irish sewage system ready for Taco Bell? Spoiler alert—many in Ireland are skeptical, and Dan and Nicole have a blast unpacking whether the Emerald Isle’s pipes can handle the fast-food chain’s notorious impact. From plumbing woes to cultural clashes, this segment is a spicy mix of humor and speculation. Next, they hit the snooze button—literally—on a discussion about morning routines. Do you use the snooze button? And more importantly, what’s the etiquette when your partner, roommate, or dog is affected by your 5-minute nap cycles? Dan and Nicole trade stories, tips, and a few playful jabs about the art of hitting snooze without starting a household riot. Finally, things get a little… toetally wild. Is there such a thing as showing too much feet at the office? From open-toe sandals to full-on barefoot vibes, the hosts explore workplace foot etiquette with their trademark banter, debating where to draw the line (or the sock) in professional settings. With drinks flowing and the energy electric, Episode 100 is a testament to Dan and Nicole’s unstoppable chemistry and their knack for turning random topics into pure podcast gold. Here’s to 100 more episodes of Still Spinning! Tune in, pour yourself a drink, and join the celebration.

We apologize for not being around the past week, there were some “real life” things that needed to be dealt with. But we are BACK! And show 100 is next week! Spinners, we have some bonus content coming your way later this week so stay tuned. Kicking things off today - when does wearable tech (like smart watches and heart rate monitors) become a cause for stress and anxiety? Both Dan and Nicole share some personal stories about their tech and how it impacts them and of course there is always something in the news that speaks to how oversaturated with tech we all are. Dan hates snakes! He talks about a story out of Missouri about a snake popping out of a hood and there is one thing in particular about the story that really has him steamed. Think you know what it is? Or can you guess? Nicole did not correctly identify it but maybe you can. There is a bear cub being “raised” but people in a bear suit. It is adorable and terrifying and so many things could go wrong. Hear more about it! And finally, a female news anchor went into LABOR during a morning newscast and finished her shift. Should she get a medal or a reprimand? We have some thoughts. Thanks so much for joining us, we will see you again next week!

Maybe it is us but it seems there is a new term being used in the world almost every single week. This is true this week with the term “unbossing” which means something different to businesses than it does to workers. Basically workers no longer want to work in management roles, for a variety of reasons. Dan and Nicole both share personal stories that fall into this world. Have you ever visited a restaurant or store that is located near a high school, particularly when that high school has a lunch break or when it ends for the day? There is a McDonald’s in Virginia that has a new 21 and over policy because of the behavior of the kids from a nearby school. Nicole and Dan discuss and talk about how scary kids can be. And finally, road rage has taken a turn (pun intended) and you will never believe what happened when a woman got mad and lost her shit. You can watch the (somewhat graphic) video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJFKE4eOjlk/ Nicole sent this to Dan but did not tell him what it was about. We encourage you to just watch it before reading anything about it. Thank you so much for checking us out! Spinners, we may have to write you an IOU on bonus content this week, we have some scheduling issues we are trying to work out. But we promise, we will load you up on bonus content as soon as we are able!

Dan kicks things off by saying that he would like to be in charge of making the rules. This is not a new statement but what set him off this time? Qdoba! That is right, after an enraging experience at Qdoba, Dan has some new rules he would like to put in place. Think you know what they are? Only one way to find out! Nicole’s battle with her TV/internet/phone carrier took an unexpected turn when it appeared her phone was blocked by the carrier. How did she find out? What happened? It is a story for the ages! We also find out that both her husband AND Dan think it is hilarious when she gets really mad. Dan was in Duluth over the weekend and has some interesting things to say about the population there and had quite an experience involving Venmo. What do you do when nature calls but your plane is descending? In one case that recently made the news, you take off your pants and poop with there on your seat. This actually happened on an inbound flight into Chicago’s Midway airport, on a Southwest flight. Choose your own seat, indeed. And finally, a kid scratches a painting in a museum, and while Nicole wants to talk about who should pay and kids running wild, all Dan can talk about is how he could make art equal to this particular piece. Will he? Should he? Let us know what YOU think! All of this and oh so much more on episode 97.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced their inductees and there is always at least one where Nicole says to herself, “wait, aren’t they already IN the hall of fame??” and this year is no different. So Nicole and Dan go through the list of the new folks and share some thoughts on who they thought was already in, what made someone get in this time and just general thoughts on their music. Neither has actually been to the museum so it might be time for a SSP road trip! Speaking of award shows, the Oscars were in the news this week with a new rule for academy voters. The new rule is that folks have to watch all the moves before voting. HOW WAS THIS NOT ALREADY A RULE?! The team chats about the “new” rule and the Oscars in general.  And finally, the great Chicago liquor that is Malort announced a new item on Monday, hard candy! We talk about the brand, their marketing team and the experience that is Malort. We also reminisce about some times we had on the radio, eating things that we will never forget. All of this and more in this week’s episode. Thanks again for joining us, we will see you next week! Unless you are a spinner. If you are, you have some BONUS content coming your way.

Hello and welcome to episode 95 of the Still Spinning Podcast, this week with a visual screen share for those who watch the video. More on that in a bit. This episode was recorded on 4/20 which means it was Easter AND 4/20. A double holiday for sure. There was a space flight this past week that got a lot of attention and the podcast would be remiss not to give it attention as well. 5 famous ladies went up into space and got a lot of flak. Dan agrees with most of the flak being unwarranted BUT there was one big issue he brought to the table and that is the fact that the flight was called “Making Space for Women.” Listen in to hear his biggest issue with this. There is something out there called “Flight Theory” and it is creating some havoc in the travel community. The idea is you can arrive 15 minutes before boarding and just breeze onto your flight. Well, you can imagine Dan and Nicole have some thoughts on that. They also share their travel timing and tips on TSA precheck.(the tip is you should have it) A woman took to the internet to get feedback on her letting her kid eat snacks they had not yet paid for while grocery shopping and the internet had a LOT to say about it. And so do the podcasters! We chat about the idea of even doing this as well as some hidden “grossness” within the idea of it. Speaking of gross, there is a new research team working on lab-grown chicken and it is GROSS. We share the story, and some images, of the meat and the process. It is not necessarily a new idea BUT this piece of chicken is the biggest one they have grown so far. Did I mention it looks (and sounds) gross?? All of this and more on this week’s episode! Check out our website at stillspinningpodcast.com for even more fun ways to support the podcast, get some merch and even listen to “old” episodes. Thanks so much for joining us!
