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!

    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!

    Hello friends and welcome to episode 94 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We appreciate you checking us out! You can watch the live taping every Monday at 7 PM on Facebook, YouTube or Instagram OR wait until the official podcast release on Wednesday morning. Visit our website for more details on becoming a sponsor, buying merch and check out old episodes. All of this at stillspinningpodcast.com.Ever have a day when you realize you have your underwear on inside out?? Nicole has and it was the day this was recorded so THAT is how we kick things off on this episode. Where can we possibly go from there??We can go into talking about a new “fad” that is sweeping the nation (but is it?). Hatchelorette Parties. You read that right. Think baby shower meets bachelorette party and then remove all the things you know about both. We discuss this new trend and dip our toes into baby showers of yesteryear. Dan also shares his “secret” to a long and happy marriage and the story involves a dishwasher. Daylight Saving time always seems to be in the news and today is no different. The US is looking to do away with it. What would that mean? Have they really thought it through? You know Nicole and Dan have not but they will discuss anyway! It leads in a discussion on military time and Celsius versus Fahrenheit. Ever left something in a car? Well Uber collects the lost and found stuff (which as I type that, seems odd. It is not like there is an office to drop all this stuff off at… is there??) Either way, they released a new list of weird stuff left in cars and I gotta say, some if it is really weird. Dan learns what the term LARPer means and literally cannot stop laughing.It was a good day here at the Still Spinning Podcast! Thanks so much for joining us.

All of this at stillspinningpodcast.com.Dan has been living with a false memory of Nicole and the air finally gets cleared up during the episode. How does this tie into the Crocodile Hunter’s adult son and his new underwear campaign? Tune in to find out. Dan thinks it is weird and creepy that “older” ladies are all about this new campaign but Nicole thinks hey, old is not dead!Bathroom Divorce is a new trend and honestly, this one I totally understand. The idea of each person having their own bathroom. Nicole and Dan both share their current bathroom situations and Dan tells us why he always brings his own toiletries to a hotel. Nicole will never look at the hotel ones the same way. Dan also shares the two things he NEEDS from a hotel, think you know what they are? I bet you cannot guess one of them!NOT A JOKE, KFC has partnered with a toothpaste company to make TOOTHPASTE THAT TASTES LIKE CHICKEN. I could barf just typing that. April Fool’s inspired this but it is a real thing, You can also get a KFC toothbrush. So gross. And lastly, casual dining places are folding faster than you can say Hooters. Why? Dan and Nicole discuss the changes that have happened, their own experiences with some of the bankruptcy chains and Dan admits his Hooters past was mostly to make Nicole mad. All of this and so much more on episode 93 of the Still Spinning Podcast.

You can find old episodes, merch and all the info you need on becoming a sponsor on our website, stillspinningpodcast.com. As you likely know, Dan is a weather nerd. He out-nerds himself this episode talking about his new rain gauge and what he plans on doing with it. Nicole gives him crap but actually, this is kinda cool.Bears were in the news a lot this week. First off, there is an animal welfare group in Europe who does a hibernating bears March Madness type event and Nicole is here for it. Conversely, there is a new book coming out about bear attacks and Nicole learns that on average, 30-40 people are attacked EVERY YEAR in the US by bears. McDonald's might be bringing back all-day breakfast which leads to a discussion on what food items/places would we bring back if we could. Dan had a list, Nicole could think of a few. But can we all agree the OLD apple pies McD's had is the clear winner??And finally, the BEES! We talk about the bees, how many are dying, what is happening and Dan has some strong thoughts on the the way these stories are presented. All of this and oh so much more on episode 92!

Maybe if you cannot afford it all at once, you cannot afford it at all!Have you seen the viral mug shot of the attractive women from Georgia? She went viral for a "hot" mug shot but then she went and got arrested AGAIN and something she said as she was hiding from police really hit a nerve with Nicole so she brings this story to the table for discussion. And finally, Dan is sick and tired of notifications. He also may have a technology addiction but that is for a different discussion at a different time. But he talks about the notification issue he is having and how he is tackling it this week. Will he come out successful? Check us out next week to find out!Thanks again for stopping by, we hope you enjoyed your stay.
