In Bad Idea Island, Chaz and AJ revisited the infamous 1997 Macy's Day Parade, where high winds destroyed Barney the Dinosaur. Tribe member Kate called to share her first-hand experience from the day, even getting to sit on the Barney carcass, after the incident. (0:00)  The "War in the Woods" between two undefeated teams, Seymour and Woodland is tonight. Chaz and AJ invited Seymour first selectwoman AnneMarie Drugonis, and Bethany's Gerry Smith on the phone to make a friendly wager between the two 9-0 teams, with the losing town's leader to perform at the Toy Drive on December 12. (5:59)  Chaz and AJ played dozens of voicemails this morning from guests, who all picked their favorite Thanksgiving side dishes. One message did not fit the montage, Senator Blumenthal, who earned an entire segment on its own for the bizarre food choice and loud background conversation. (14:08)  Chaz has a Thanksgiving Day tradition with his wife, Jennifer, where he puts on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and angrily yells at the television the whole time. (20:07)  In Dumb Ass News, AJ had a heart-felt moment of thanks completely ruined, thanks to his number one nemesis, Siri. (26:15) 

In another episode curated by our friends at HI-FLOAT, and recorded live at the Sempertex International Balloon Convention, I'm chatting with Jam of Garden Place Balloons about his new brick and mortar shop, The Balloon Shop. If you've ever toyed with the idea of opening a balloon store, you'll want to hear Jam's story behind his pivot from focusing solely on custom installs to now offering smaller ticket items as well: the wins, the worries, and the money math. We cover: Why he shifted to helium, grab-and-go garlands, and personalized jumbos How Party City closures and customer requests shaped his offerings The realities of foot traffic, hours, and staffing Pricing pushback His mindset shift: listening to the business you have, not the one you "should" have If you're considering a storefront this conversation will help you think it through.

Sirolimus-Eluting Balloon Versus Repeat Drug-Eluting Stenting or Balloon Angioplasty for In-stent Restenosis

Ballooning became a huge fad starting in the late 18th century, and there was a surprising amount of rioting associated with it. Fervor, excitement, and intoxication in some instances, meant that balloon events were prone to get out of control.

APP OF THE DAY - KIDS BALLOON POP by 101.9POR

In this episode, we dive into the dating complexities unveiled between Black men and Black women on Arlette Amuli's Pop The Balloon and Find Love. Both sides showcase hypocrisy, superficiality, and controversy; however, the women on the show seem to display these traits even more. We break down the tension, the toxicity, and the possible hidden agendas at play. Tune in as we unpack it all.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is an American tradition. It's been going since 1924. This year marks the 99th parade (it took three years off during World War II). It's famous for elaborate floats and huge character balloons that bob above the streets as the parade marches forward. Millions of people watch the parade live in New York City each year, but many many more watch it on TV. And some of you have questions! How do they make such big balloons for the parade and how do they choose which characters to feature? And how do they hold onto the balloons with such tiny strings? And, more generally, how do balloons float? What's helium got to do with it? But Why visits the Macy's Studio workshop in New Jersey to see how the magic happens!Download our learning guides: PDF | Google Slide

Balloonfest '86 was a fundraising event in Cleveland, Ohio, United States, held on September 27, 1986, in which the local chapter of United Way set a world record by releasing almost 1.5 million balloons.[2] The event was intended to be a harmless publicity stunt. However, the released balloons drifted back over the city and Lake Erie and landed in the surrounding area, causing problems for traffic and a nearby airport. In consequence, the organizers faced lawsuits seeking millions of dollars in damages,[1] and cost overruns put the event at a net loss.[3]

A 28-year-old man in Yuba County, California says he’s lucky to be alive after a frozen water balloon shattered his windshield. A Long Island, New York drug dealer whose sentence was commuted by President Trump, is back in prison—this time for assaulting his children’s nanny and threatening multiple people while on supervised release.

King and I | S6 E5 | PCI: Back to the Balloon

Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: 1. Initial Assessment Start with a physical examination: Determine if the bleed is anterior or posterior. Perform a primary survey: assess airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs). Airway compromise = intubation immediately. If the patient is stable, have them blow out any clots, then re-examine the nares. 2. Topical Medications Anesthetics: provide local anesthesia and pain relief. Lidocaine Tetracaine Vasoconstrictors: reduce bleeding. LET (Lidocaine, Epinephrine, Tetracaine) is ideal because it provides anesthesia and vasoconstriction. Cocaine pledgets (less common). Tranexamic acid (TXA). Oxymetazoline (Afrin). Cautery (Chemical): If an anterior bleed is visualized, silver nitrate can be applied for cauterization 3. Technique Tips Use a nasal speculum. Spread up and down rather than side to side to avoid injury to the septum. Place LET-soaked gauze in the nares. Apply a nasal clamp for ~15 minutes to compress the vessels. Note that pledgets may cause upper lip numbness 4. Reassessment After 15 minutes, remove materials and inspect for a source of bleeding. If still bleeding and a source is identified, cauterize the site. Observe for 15 minutes to monitor for recurrence of bleeding. 5. Packing If the above measures fail to control bleeding: Anterior packing: Nasal tampon (Merocel) Convenient for outpatient removal. Balloon device Inflate the anterior balloon for compression. Posterior packing:  More complex, should consult ENT for additional assistance. 6. Disposition & Follow-Up Although rare, toxic shock syndrome is a possible complication of nasal packing. Antibiotic prophylaxis is controversial, but may be considered in high-risk patients. Outpatient follow-up if stable: Tampon: The patient can remove it at home. Balloon: Return to ED for removal. 7. Risk Factors for Epistaxis & Prevention Deviated septum, dry environments, and anticoagulant use Advise on humidifier use, nasal saline, and medication review to minimize future episodes.

An estimated 2 million stents are implanted into people's hearts around the world each year – making it one of the key treatments for heart disease. The treatment was invented by Argentinian doctor Julio Palmaz, who credits a piece of metal being left by a construction worker in his home as inspiration for the structure of the stent. Collaborating with a US Army cardiologist and getting funding from the owner of a fast-food chain and a pharmaceutical giant; the coronary stent was approved for use in human beings in the 1990s. Julio Palmaz speaks to Tim O'Callaghan about his invention. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

What if something as simple as a balloon could change your life? This week I sit down with Mia Hamza from Balloon Thrill, a former teacher from Kosovo who turned her creative spark into a thriving six-figure event décor and education business—all in just a few years after moving to the U.S.Mia shares how she went from teaching English and hosting a TV show overseas to starting from zero in a new country—no money, no car, and no clear direction—and building a business that now empowers others around the world.In this episode:How to start a business with little to no capital (and why small ideas can grow into big ones)Why mindset is the real difference between “just balloons” and a six-figure brandThe value of mentorship and online learning when scaling a creative businessHow Mia transitioned from in-person décor to online education with hundreds of global studentsWhy balloon décor is one of the most flexible, family-friendly, and profitable creative businesses todayAction Steps:Take the first step — If you've been thinking about something for too long, do it within 24 hours.Go all in — Once you commit, give it your full energy instead of starting small out of fear.Learn from others — Find mentors or peers already succeeding in your field and model what works.Connect with Mia:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balloonthrill/Online Balloon Masterclass: https://www.thrillmakersmasterclass.com/start-1?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacMwuZyk64vY0BxWsZAZnmBxJgpj3W9Y4KybTHbyqYME6DkGgda_tzEjCAkyA_aem_zXQeTrJ2Ogr6vIQBTCHXyQConnect with me, Hayleigh Hayhurst:Steal my Podcast Launch Checklist for free: ⁠https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com/⁠checklist⁠Website: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EspressoPodcastProductionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/espressopodcastproduction/Music: John Kiernan. www.johnkiernanmusic.comProduced by Espresso Podcast Production:  https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com/Join the Conversation: What did you think of this episode?

Everyone's worried about the AI bubble, but they're missing the real balloon quietly inflating behind the scenes; private equity. Trillions in dry powder(cash on hand), overleveraged buyouts, and inflated valuations have turned the private markets into a ticking time bomb. While retail investors chase the next AI stock, institutional portfolios haven't been marked to reality in years. High interest rates are squeezing valuations, funds are struggling to exit deals, and liquidity risk is building beneath the surface. In this episode, we break down why private equity could be the biggest bubble in global finance, why public markets might actually be safer right now, and what this shift means for investors and the next market cycle. If you're worried about a bubble that could make you money but ignoring the balloon that could cost you money, this conversation is for you.
