America captured a German U-boat during World War II, saved it while it was sinking, discovered an Enigma machine and secret documents aboard, kept the entire operation hidden from Germany... and eventually put the submarine in Chicago.In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we react to The Fat Electrician's incredible telling of the capture of U-505. What began as a dangerous hunt for a German submarine became one of the most fascinating naval operations of World War II.From American sailors boarding a damaged submarine packed with scuttling charges, to the desperate effort to keep it afloat, the intelligence discovered aboard, and the remarkable journey that eventually brought U-505 to Chicago, this story gets crazier the deeper it goes.Original video from The Fat Electrician:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s-ZY0lnGeIHave you ever seen U-505 at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry? And if you know the connection, if any, between the real U-505 story and the movie U-571, tell us in the comments!

Retirement isn't just about how much money you've saved. It's also about how much money is still going out the door.In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we break down 12 expenses and financial decisions that could deserve another look before or during retirement. From auto and life insurance to credit card debt, home repairs, vehicle warranties, precious metals, timeshares, direct deposit, and even bathroom renovations, we discuss which ideas make sense and which ones we aren't completely sold on.We also get into a bigger question: Should you still have a mortgage, car payment, or high-interest debt when you retire?Some of these recommendations could save money. Others might cost money upfront in hopes of preventing a much larger expense later. And a few sparked some disagreement between us.

The 2026 NFL season is here, and it's time to put our predictions on the record.

Used cars under $20,000 are selling fast, but what are buyers actually getting for their money?In this episode of the MX3 Podcast, we look at the changing used-car market and the growing affordability problem facing American drivers. We discuss used-car prices, vehicles approaching 100,000 miles, older cars being purchased for the same money buyers once spent on much newer vehicles, limited inventory, auto auctions, credit scores, interest rates, monthly payments, and the danger of becoming upside down on a long-term car loan.We also get into the cost of today's pickup trucks, rising insurance expenses, fuel costs, and why affordability may now matter more to many buyers than features, mileage, or even age.MX3 Podcast is about money, motivation, and relevant events that affect everyday life.

A wrong house, an unarmed 22-year-old college baseball player, body-camera evidence, and now a police corporal charged with voluntary manslaughter.In this episode, we discuss the death of Glenwood “Bubba” Pysher IV in Upper Pottsgrove Township, Pennsylvania. Pysher had been out with friends before mistakenly arriving at the wrong house. Homeowners called 911, and Upper Pottsgrove Police Cpl. Sean Farrell responded.According to prosecutors, Pysher was unarmed, had his hands raised, and was approximately 17 to 20 feet from Farrell when he was shot. Investigators also said Farrell had less-lethal options available, including a Taser. Farrell has since been charged with voluntary manslaughter.We break down the reported timeline, what investigators say the body-camera evidence shows, the officer's actions after the shooting, the $75,000 bail decision, and the larger questions surrounding police use of force and accountability.Then the conversation turns to a much more controversial question: Why do some police shootings become major national stories while others receive comparatively little attention? We discuss race, media coverage, public reaction, and whether every victim and every case receives the same scrutiny.Post-recording update: Sean Farrell voluntarily retired from the Upper Pottsgrove Police Department effective September 2, 2026, after being suspended without pay following the criminal charge.Farrell has been charged with voluntary manslaughter. A criminal charge is an allegation, and the case remains subject to the court process.MX3 Podcast is about money, motivation, and relevant events, including the difficult subjects that generate real conversation.

Was air conditioning one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century?In this reaction episode, we take on The Fat Electrician's hilarious argument that modern life as we know it might not exist without air conditioning. From Willis Carrier's breakthrough in 1902 and the rise of air-conditioned movie theaters to server rooms, modern cities, European heat waves and the question we really need answered: what the heck is “window cheese”?Then we bring it home with our own memories of growing up around window units, fans, houses designed for natural airflow and the days when running the air conditioner all day felt like a luxury. We even wander into another technology that once seemed almost unbelievable: the microwave oven.Do you agree that air conditioning belongs near the top of the greatest inventions of the 20th century? If not, what invention beats it?Drop your answer in the comments and tell us your earliest memory of air conditioning, window units or your family's first microwave.MX3 Podcast is about money, motivation and relevant events, with conversations that mix history, current events, personal experience and a little humor along the way.

Tonight, nearly the entire Moon disappears into Earth's shadow.On August 27–28, 2026, skywatchers across much of the Americas, Europe, Africa, and western Asia can witness an unusually deep partial lunar eclipse, with roughly 96% of the Moon covered at maximum.In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we break down what causes a lunar eclipse, why the Moon can turn a dramatic coppery red, why eclipses don't happen every month, when and where this one can be seen, and some of the stranger eclipse phenomena most people have never heard about.We also get into eclipse seasons, the difference between the umbra and penumbra, central lunar eclipses, the rare phenomenon known as a selenelion, and of course an important question: exactly what color is “coppery red”?And before any of that, we start with a personal-growth quote worth remembering:“I would rather adjust my life to your absence than adjust my boundaries to accommodate your disrespect.”MX3 Podcast is about money, motivation, and relevant events, with conversations about the stories, ideas, and events worth talking about.

How did Danny Thomas's $7 promise grow into one of the most recognized charitable organizations in America?In Part 2 of our look at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, we dig deeper into the remarkable history, people, donations and unexpected stories that helped build the St. Jude legacy.We discuss Danny Thomas's surprising connection to the Miami Dolphins, his influence in television, St. Jude's integration from the day it opened in 1962, Chili's $50 million commitment, the Inspiration4 space mission, Ryan Trahan's fundraising campaign, Elvis Presley's unusual donation of the USS Potomac and the incredible story of an anonymous $1 million McDonald's Monopoly game piece mailed directly to St. Jude.We also look at how St. Jude is funded, its focus on research and patient care, the role of ALSAC, the Thomas family's continuing legacy and how a promise that began with just $7 grew into something worth billions.Most importantly, we want to hear from you:Has St. Jude Children's Research Hospital helped someone in your family, a friend or someone you know?

How did a struggling entertainer's last $7 help set in motion the creation of one of the most recognized children's research hospitals in the world?In Part 1 of our two-part series on St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, we explore the remarkable story of Danny Thomas, the promise he made to St. Jude Thaddeus, and how that promise ultimately became a hospital dedicated to treating children facing cancer and other life-threatening diseases.We discuss the unusual way St. Jude cares for patients and their families, the enormous cost of operating the hospital, the role donations play in keeping its mission alive, and how Danny Thomas used his entertainment career and public profile to support his dream.We also follow the surprising connection between St. Jude and professional golf through the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, including Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Scottie Scheffler, TPC Southwind, and the PGA Tour's long relationship with charitable causes.And there are some fascinating side roads along the way, including Marlo Thomas, The Danny Thomas Show, Desilu Studios, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and even Andy Griffith.This is Part 1. In Part 2, we continue deeper into Danny Thomas, St. Jude, and the extraordinary legacy that grew from one man's promise.

Ten years after John Hinckley Jr. left St. Elizabeths Hospital, his attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan remains one of the most remarkable chapters in modern presidential history.In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we revisit the events that led John Hinckley Jr. from an obsession with Jodie Foster to stalking President Jimmy Carter, an airport arrest involving firearms, and ultimately the March 30, 1981 assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan outside the Washington Hilton.We also discuss Hinckley's surprising connections to Ardmore, Oklahoma and Highland Park, Texas, his fascination with Taxi Driver, the warning signs before the Reagan shooting, his insanity verdict, his 2016 release from St. Elizabeths under restrictions, and the later removal of those restrictions.A recent interview has once again brought Hinckley and his fixation on Jodie Foster into the spotlight. Nearly half a century after the shooting, one difficult question remains: should the public consider John Hinckley Jr. rehabilitated, or does his history still give you pause?

What happens when taking a shortcut crosses the line into outright cheating?In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we discuss the story of former college golfer Zach Holland and his account of staging a hole-in-one during a member-member tournament at WingHaven Country Club. A planted golf ball, an alleged phone call about his grandmother, a suspiciously convenient tee shot, and security-camera footage turned one round of golf into a much bigger lesson about honesty, reputation, and consequences.But the conversation goes beyond golf.Why do people cut corners? Does pressure at work encourage otherwise honest people to bypass rules? What happens when employees are given unrealistic expectations without the time, tools, or resources needed to meet them? And does the way someone behaves when nobody appears to be watching reveal something deeper about their character?We discuss cheating in sports, workplace shortcuts, moral character, personal responsibility, and why the “easy way out” can end up costing far more than doing things the right way.

Is the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown a must-see shrine to baseball history, or does the experience fall short of expectations?In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we break down a recent firsthand visit to Cooperstown and what was surprisingly missing.

Is a degree from one of America's most prestigious colleges still worth the cost?In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we examine LinkedIn's ranking of the top 50 colleges in the United States for long-term career success. The ranking considers job placement, alumni network strength, internships, entrepreneurship, and opportunities for advancement.We count down the leading universities, including Princeton, Duke, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale, Cornell, Notre Dame, and the University of Pennsylvania. We also discuss why technology, internet careers, AI engineering, data science, and scientific computing appear so frequently among the skills connected to these schools.But the ranking raises a larger question: Can the average family afford the schools that provide the strongest career opportunities? According to the list discussed in this episode, 44 of the top 50 are private institutions, while only six are public universities.We also examine student debt, rising tuition, graduates working in jobs that do not require their degrees, and whether prestige is still worth the price of admission.MX3 Podcast discusses money, motivation, and relevant events that affect everyday life.Watch the episode, subscribe to the channel, and tell us in the comments: Would you choose an expensive elite university, a lower-cost public school, a trade program, or immediate workforce experience?Visit us at: www.mx3.vipLinkedin article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/linkedin-top-colleges-2026-50-best-long-term-career-success-6gyzeLike, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of MX3 Podcast.Support the showMX3 Podcast on Youtubewww.youtube.com/@mx3podcastContact MX3 PodcastTweet us: @mx3podcastEmail us: info@mx3.vipLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-w-wright-9397b23a/Thanks for listening & keep on living your life the Wright way!

Who are the most hated golfers of 2026, and does this controversial ranking make any sense?Golf Digest highlighted a RotoWire survey ranking the ten most disliked players across professional golf. We break down every name on the list, including Patrick Reed, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, Wyndham Clark, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Cantlay, Matt Kuchar, Sergio García, Billy Horschel, and Tyrrell Hatton.From LIV Golf controversy and Ryder Cup drama to rules penalties, slow play, angry outbursts, and damaged reputations, we discuss why each golfer made the ranking and reveal which players we believe are placed far too high or far too low.Do you agree with Patrick Reed at No. 1?

Does being a celebrity make someone's private mistakes public property? Should the same transparency rules apply equally to celebrities, police encounters, and ordinary citizens?Tell us where you draw the line in the comments.

Share your position in the comments.

A viral moment at Wrigley Field has ignited a fierce national debate: an older Chicago Cubs fan slapped a younger spectator who remained seated during the national anthem.Should everyone stand out of respect for the flag and the men and women who served? Does that belief ever justify putting your hands on someone? And should stadium security have imposed consequences even after the two men reconciled?In this episode, we examine patriotism, personal freedom, generational differences, stadium security, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the line between social expectations and personal rights.Do you believe the older fan should have been removed from Wrigley Field, or was the matter properly resolved between the two men?
