If you run a balloon business by yourself, you might get to the point where you just can't do it all alone anymore, and that can be a very overwhelming place to be. So I sat down with Jessica, the owner of Balloons by F&F, and we had a very honest conversation about hiring:  Who to hire first, The little details about hiring that are easy to forget, What tools are helpful for tracking the work, Some of the mistakes we've made along the way, How to not get lost in the weeds when starting, A position to hire you maybe haven't thought of, And ultimately, what gets unlocked in your life and your business when you finally hire help.    I love talking about hiring because even though it's scary to start, there are so many right ways it can be done.   In the UGlu Hotline, hear why one listener sets a goal to send five hand-written thank you cards each month.    Unlock three free bonus episodes!    RESOURCES MENTIONED: Sales Sets Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) buildwiththeguild.com UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  DM @thebrightballoon on Instagram to ask a question or leave advice for the UGlu Hotline! 2026 Bright Balloon Planner  @balloonsbyff  - - - - On the Bright Side Apple | Patreon Join the Bright Balloon email list  The Bright Balloon on YouTube

Afterwards, he released some balloons in the street. The balloons went straight up and struck some electric wires, which caused a short. What type of mazik is he?  Answer: This definitely is the hezek of aish. What Yankel did is no different than placing a stone in a place where wind can blow it and cause it to do damage. Aish, however, is exempt from paying for tamun, covered items. The question is whether Yankel is liable as an odom hamazik, which is liable for everything.In this case, we can suggest that Yankel is odom hamazik because the way helium works is that it is lighter than air, so it floats upwards. The laws of physics are that when one releases a stone, gravity pulls it downward. If someone lets go of a stone, even if he doesn't throw it, and gravity pulls it down and causes it to damage something, the person is liable as an odom hamazik. So too, if someone releases a helium balloon and the laws of physics dictate that it goes upwards, when it damages something above it the person would be liable for the same reason. The same would apply if someone is in a swimming pool and releases a pool tube under the water, which goes shooting up because of the force of the water and damages something, the person would be liable.Basically, if someone uses any of the fundamental laws of physics to cause direct damage, he is considered to have done an action of an odom hamazik and he can be held liable as such.

Last year at this time, the 2025 LSU baseball team was rounding into post-season shape as the Tigers charged to the school’s eighth national championship in June. This year’s 2026 LSU baseball team (ranked #2 in the preseason) lost its ninth straight SEC contest on Sunday after being swept by Mississippi State in Starkville.  It marked the first time LSU has lost nine SEC baseball games in a row at any time in the school’s long and decorated history dating back to 1933. The Tigers are 24-21 on the year.  LSU is only 6-12 in the very difficult SEC.  Only South Carolina (5-13) and Missouri (3-15) have a worse conference record through Sunday’s games. Eight wasn’t enough for LSU at Mississippi State over the weekend LSU scored eight runs in each of its three straight losses at Starkville, MS last weekend.  In each game, the Tigers got off to a fast start.  Unfortunately, the later innings saw the Tigers’ pitching falter while the offensive bats struggled against a talented Mississippi State bullpen. LSU dropped Friday’s opener 10-8 in 11 innings.  Saturday night’s game had LSU bolt out to a 7-2 lead starting the seventh inning.  The Tigers lost 9-8.  LSU led Sunday’s finale 8-5 midway through the sixth inning before losing 13-8. Mississippi State improved to 34-10 on the year and 10-8 in the SEC. The Bulldogs are part of a 5-way logjam for fourth place in the SEC.  Mississippi State is tied with Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma at 10-8 in the league. LSU has suffered through a number of key personnel losses in recent weeks.  Coach Jay Johnson can only do so much when his pitchers are getting hammered nightly and the Tiger bats go cold at the most inopportune moments. LSU fans who already booked hotel rooms for Omaha’s College World Series in June might need to be on the lookout for another team to root for if they still go to Nebraska. At least for the year 2026, the defending champions of NCAA Division I college baseball are toast. Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia went undrafted by the NFL last weekend Diego Pavia single-handedly made Vanderbilt football interesting to watch for the past two seasons.  His ability to scramble, run, and/or or pass kept SEC defenses off balance and the Commodores in the game. The Vandy quarterback (generously listed at 6’0” by the school) helped the Commodores improve from 2-10 in 2023 to 7-6 in 2024.  Vanderbilt posted a school record 10-3 season in 2025. Diego Pavia played with an incredible and very infectious confidence on the field during his two seasons with Vanderbilt.  He finished in second place in the Heisman Trophy voting last year.  Despite being relatively short by college QB standards, Pavia remained confident he would be drafted by an NFL team last weekend. Diego Pavia’s belief in himself has gone a little over-the-top at times.  His ego can block a bit of reality.  Vanderbilt’s offense was wisely structured to take advantage of the quarterback’s skills.  NFL teams want their incoming quarterbacks to fit into the head coach’s system. As his final season ended, Diego Pavia morphed another Johnny Manziel type of personality. You might remember that Texas A&M’s “Johnny Football” won the Heisman Trophy in 2012. Johnny Manziel was known for his personal confidence and arrogance (and off-field substance abuse).  It worked against him as a professional football player.  Selected in the first round by the Cleveland Browns, “Johnny Football” started just eight games and went just 2-6 over his two NFL seasons. The NFL combine measured Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia at 5’9” tall.  He would become the shortest quarterback in the NFL this year. Seven rounds and 257 names were called last weekend in Pittsburgh at the NFL Draft. Diego Pavia wasn’t one of them.  He became the first Heisman Trophy finalist to go undrafted since 2013. The good news is that Diego Pavia was signed as a free agent by the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday.  That team only had two quarterbacks on the roster.  Pavia will have a decent chance to become an NFL back-up QB if he performs well during training camp and in preseason games. Texas Tech’s very expensive transfer quarterback is in deep trouble for gambling Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson told the NFL Draft media last week that he turned down a $6 million NIL offer to stay at Bama for his final year of eligibility. Instead, Simpson gambled on his NFL chances.  To the surprise of many (including me), Ty Simpson was selected with the 13th overall pick in Round 1 by the Los Angeles Rams. One sports site reported that Ty Simpson’s first NFL contract will be worth $24 million over his first four years with the Rams. Yes, that’s the same $6 million that Alabama allegedly offered. Had Ty Simpson been drafted as the last selection of the first round (#32 overall), he would be slated to make an estimated $16 million over four years. Texas Tech University in Lubbock has very wealthy athletics backers who have been funneling millions of dollars into the Red Raiders’ NIL cooperative. Last season, Texas Tech effectively outbid other prominent schools to sign several key transfer players.  It culminated with the Red Raiders going 11-1 in the regular season and playing in the first round of the College Football Playoffs. Texas Tech recently opened its NIL wallet to sign University of Cincinnati transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby for a reported $5 million next season. Sorsby started his college career at the University of Indiana prior to transferring to the Cincinnati Bearcats last year. Brendan Sorsby’s lone season with Cincinnati had him tossing 27 touchdown passes with only five interceptions.  He had been one of the most heavily recruited players in the NCAA Transfer Portal a few months ago. On Monday, Texas Tech announced that their new $5 million quarterback (who hasn’t played a down in Lubbock) had checked himself into a gambling treatment program. Reports surfaced that Brendan Sorsby has a history of betting on college football games.  That includes games involving Indiana (to win) while he was on that team as a freshman. Former LSU wide receiver Kayshon Boutte just completed his third year playing for the New England Patriots.  Boutte published a lengthy report in January, 2026 detailing a period where he was heavily involved with online sports gambling. Kayshon Boutte claims to have lost $90,000 gambling involving thousands of wagers during a period at LSU where he was rehabilitating from a severe ankle injury.  He was arrested in January, 2024 (a year into his NFL career) as part of an online gambling investigation.  The charges were dropped six months later. The ex-Tiger’s fascinating PG-13 rated story does have a positive ending and is worth the read (click here). Kayshon Boutte believes that most college athletes who get involved in gambling are “going through something.”  He added, “Don’t give up on them. Maybe they just need some help.” The NCAA is now investigating Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby for gambling allegations. Current NCAA rules call for significant punishment if a college athlete wagers more than a cumulative total of $800 or more. Based on Sorsby’s voluntary check-in for gambling addictions, it’s safe to say that he is above the $800 threshold. Sorsby could lose his final year of college eligibility.  Pro scouting reports indicated that Brendan Sorsby had a good chance to become a first round NFL draft choice next April. All of that could be in jeopardy now. Texas Tech will (of course) spend whatever money is necessary to cut a deal with the NCAA to give their $5 million transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby a chance on the field this fall.  Voluntarily entering a gambling addiction treatment program could go a long way to help his chances with the NCAA. Online gambling (all types including sports betting) has become epidemic.  Colleges report that 75% of all students gambled at least once during the last year.  Nearly 20% gamble weekly or more frequently. Let’s hope that Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby (much like former LSU wide receiver Kayshon Boutte) can turn things around soon and help others going down that same path.

Helium is the last thing most drivers think about until a car can't ship because a chip can't ship. We follow a surprising thread from helium balloons to the clean rooms where semiconductors are made, and why a strained global helium supply can raise fresh questions about automotive chip availability. If you remember the pandemic-era semiconductor shortage, this conversation makes one thing clear: the next bottleneck might come from a material most of us never associate with cars.We break down what helium actually does inside a semiconductor fab, including how it helps purge contamination during wafer processing and supports precision steps like extreme ultraviolet lithography. Then we connect the dots to the vehicles you see on the road, from advanced driver assistance systems to EV hardware and infotainment. Because liquid helium boils off so easily, stockpiling is not simple, so logistics and semiconductor grade supply matter as much as the raw production numbers.From there we shift into the fun stuff that keeps car people glued to the weekend: Jeff's racing calendar with NASCAR and IndyCar, plus a few schedule notes influenced by world events. Mike brings This Week in Auto History, touching Pontiac milestones, the Oakland name that helped shape GM history, the polarizing Honda Element, and the Mustang's legendary launch day.

We did it! 1,000 episodes! Today we celebrate our achievement by talking about a scandal on Mt. Everest where we don't even know who the villain is. We find out what an everyday superpower is and we discuss what ours are. We learn about the woman who created the star categorization system that is still used. We hear why some people are getting exposed for their non-Christian attitudes through their treatment of a statue of Jesus. We discuss a man who flew 16,000 feet in the air using a lawn chair and some balloons. And we debate the virtues of the Irish Goodbye.00:00 - Celebrating 1000 Episodes of Brain Candy Podcast08:19 - Unpacking the Massive Mt.

This week on Dopey!Dave dives headfirst into the surprisingly powerful world of Yellow Balloon groups — sober support tables that have become lifelines for recovering addicts and alcoholics at jam-band shows. The episode blends personal stories, history, and community vibes with guests Benji Rosenzweig (Storied Podcast, One Show at a Time) and Jen Dawson (Alia Health Group, hardcore Fellowship member). We hear the origin of Wharf Rats (Grateful Dead sober scene), how Fellowship (Phish-focused) branched off, and how dozens of similar groups now exist for bands like Goose, Billy Strings, Umphrey's McGee, Tyler Childers, and more. Dave shares his own outsider curiosity as someone who used shows purely as open-air drug markets, while Benji and Jen describe how the yellow balloon became a beacon in chaotic concert environments. It's part recovery fellowship, part parking-lot hang, part set-break gratitude circle, and — for many — the place where real connection replaced isolation.ALL THAT AND MORE ON THE BRAND NEW HIPPY CENTRIC EPISODE OF DOPEY!“Yellow Balloons Saved My Concert Life” – How Sober Hippies Built Secret Recovery Tables at Phish, Dead & Billy ShowsFrom Drug-Seeking to Hug-Seeking: The Insane Story of Yellow Balloon Groups“You're With Family Now”: The Grateful Dead Sober Scene That Spread to Every Jam BandChasing the Yellow Balloon: How Fellowship & Wharf Rats Keep Addicts Sober at ShowsSober Raging at Dicks: The Secret Society of Jam-Band Recovery Tables Exposed  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
