This week the Regular Joes go all in on Tron. Maybe you, like the most of rest of the movie going public did not see Tron: Aries last weekend, but Barry, Dave and Tod did. And, lest you doubt their commitment, they all re-watched Tron (1982) and Tron Legacy (2010). At this point, they pretty much bleed neon. The results are three different perspectives on the three films, and a sometimes surprising rundown of who liked what. There's also a tribute to the late, great artist Drew Struzan, whose iconic imagery, including posters for Back to the Future and Blade Runner, span generations. There's also a round of Random Topics, you don't want to miss Barry's contribution, and the inevitable What's in the Box.

Every once in a while, an email offer lands in my inbox that stops me in my tracks. It's not just well-written... it's strategic. It makes me want to forward it. Study it. Steal from it. In today's episode, I'm auditing one of those unicorn emails — and I'm showing you why it worked so well. This email (from Function Health) was a masterclass in offer psychology. It played multiple sales motivators all at once, had brilliant positioning, and used subtle language that made it feel like a gift — not a pitch. It's rare to find something this clean, so I knew I had to share it with you.

Happy month of Collecting! There's not much Neopets news so we spent a lot of our time discussing Taylor Swift's new album, movies we've watched recently, and our experience at Chappell Roan's pop up show. Plus: funny & frightening featured items, Neopets food, and even more avatars!

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with poet Patrick Grace about his stunning poetry collection, Deviant (U Alberta Press, 2024). Deviant traces a trajectory of queer self-discovery from childhood to adulthood, examining love, fear, grief, and the violence that men are capable of in intimate same-sex relationships. Richly engaged with the tangible and experiential, Patrick Grace's confessional poetry captures profound, sharp emotions, tracking a journey impacted equally by beauty and by brutality. Coming-of-age identity struggles are recalled with wry wit, and dreamlike poems embrace adolescent queer love and connections as a way to cope with the fear and cruelty that can occur in gay relationships. Later poems in the collection recall vivid moments of psychological trauma and stalking and explore the bias of the justice system toward gay men. Collecting memories, dreams, and fears about sexual identity, Deviant makes important contributions to queer coming-of-age and intimate partner violence narratives. Patrick Grace is an author and teacher who divides his time between Vancouver and Victoria, BC. His poems have been published widely in Canadian literary magazines, including Arc Poetry Magazine, Best Canadian Poetry, Columba, EVENT, The Ex-Puritan, The Fiddlehead, The Malahat Review, Prairie Fire, and more. His work has been a finalist for literary contests with CV2 and PRISM international, and in 2020, his poem "A Violence" won The Malahat Review's Open Season Award for poetry. He has published two chapbooks: a blurred wind swirls back for you (2023), and Dastardly (2021), both of which explore aspects of love, fear, and trauma that represent a personal queer identity. Deviant, his first full-length poetry collection, continues to explore these themes. Follow him on IG: @thepoetpatrick. Learn more about your ad choices.

Let's face it, this really is a first world problem. I bought too much stuff and now I'm not sure what to do with it. This week the Regular Joe's address, the third phase of collecting. First comes coveting, then comes acquisition, then, like the peripheral dog that caught the car, you have the thing and now you have to find a place to put it. This all seemed simpler decades ago, when there was seemingly less stuff. In reality, there are far more display options available now than ever before. Some very reasonably priced, If you have the space  . . . it all comes down to space. If you're a collector, an accumulator, or a hoarder you have dealt with similar realities. OK, maybe not so much if you're a hoarder, but that would be a different episode. Anyways, there's some good advice to be had, or at least a bit of commiseration with kindred souls. There's also the usual random topics and a round of What's in the Box.

A lot of us will remember collecting stamps or football stickers or stationary or something of that ilk as a child.But, is that a modern phenomenon, or is it something inherent that we have seen throughout history?James Delbourgo is Professor of History at Rutgers University and author of ‘A Noble Madness: The Dark Side of Collecting from Antiquity to Now'. He joins Seán to discuss.

The spooky season is finally upon us. Every day another yard is covered in Halloween decorations and the autumn leaves. The fall jackets come out as the temperatures drop, at least they would if Global Warming wasn't real. The calendar tells me its October, but Mother Nature is telling me to keep wearing shorts! Honestly, the weather doesn't matter because the Grinders podcast can be enjoyed anywhere at any time.  You can listen to Grinders while trick or treating. Don't worry. We won't blow your cover. Just say the gray hair is a part of the costume. Collecting candy while listening to the latest gaming news, sounds like a happy holiday to me. The holiday will be even better for fans of the Yakuza series who can look forward to some upcoming releases. Fans of Nioh, Code Vein, and The Seven Deadly Sins can look forward to 2026 for new releases, it's only scary if you hate waiting. For the parents who are escorting their children as they beg old people for candy. While you are driving slowly, enjoying your beer, is the perfect time to listen to Stinkos! You could be at home, drinking in peace. Instead, you are just hoping your kid gets some good candy, that you plan on stealing in their sleep. You might need those treats to power through yet another price increase from Microsoft. If a bad economy and corporate greed don't get us, Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi might. Even worse that getting pennies in your bag is the Fed spending our tax dollars to protect dictators while ignoring natural disasters here at home. Even more gross than someone giving out open pieces of candy corn, are the actions of ICE. I know I am making jokes, but they are deadly problem. Cowards who have been emboldened to attack the people they have always dreamed of hurting. Sick fucks.  With such horrible Stinkos, we need some Sweetos to light up our ol' hallows night. Almost as good as finding the one neighborhood that gives out full sized candy bars! Or if you are like Frank, a huge pot bud. Unlike MAGA who is very unpleased with Dear Leaders opinions on marijuana. If they weren't already unhappy, announcing Bad Bunny for the Superbowl has made all of MAGA even less happy. Not quite as happy as Break feels for the future of his favorite baseball team.  As the night of begging finally ends, the parents can finally have some fun. Put the children to bed, raid their candy bags, put on your sexiest Halloween costume, and listen to an episode of RPGrinders!                                                         HAPPY HALLOWEEN!                                                                   Favorite Sexy outfit?   Winnie the Sexy Pooh? Slutty Santa Claus? Handsy Guy on the Bus? Sexy Three Stooges? Popeye the Pussy Eater Man?

Eric interviews Eric Cohen, a long-time figure in the aquarium industry, where he discusses his career evolution and current businesses, Blue Life USA and tankstop.com. Cohen details his early role as the second person to import live rock from Fiji to the US in the mid-1980s, sharing an anecdote about the first importer who went to jail for drug dealing. He explains how he co-founded Sea Dwelling Creatures in 1992, running it for 25 years before selling it in 2016 due to burnout and family health issues, driven by his growing focus on conservation. Cohen also discusses his re-entry into the livestock trade through tankstop.com, focusing on sustainable practices like importing real live rock from Australia and selling proprietary products through Blue Life USA, including the successful algae remedy Flux RX. Key Takeaways: Be ready to seize unexpected business opportunities, even in the early stages of your professional life. Recognize the seasonal changes in life and be willing to step away from a demanding business due to burnout or family needs. Cultivate a spiritual or devotional practice, such as Bhakti Yoga, to help stay grounded and manage your ego. Provide exceptional and personalized customer service to ensure interactions remain enjoyable and keep people involved in the hobby. Embrace new passions, like e-mountain biking, to find physical activity and enjoyment later in life.

In a climate where most consumers are concerned about tariffs (84%) and inflation (80%), the holiday season is poised to be a battlefield for retention and revenue. Optimove's Moshe Demri, SVP of Global Revenue, joins Future Commerce to walk through the 2025 Consumer Holiday Shopping Report and explain why the “charm customer” (those responsive to modest 10%-15% discounts) may be the key to sustainable growth.The Cherry-Picker's DilemmaKey takeaways:Meet the three customer archetypes: Full-price buyers who purchase regardless of promotions, cherry pickers who chase deep discounts and rarely return, and "charm customers" who respond to modest 10%-15% discounts and show the highest retention rates over time. (The fourth archetype: Brian)Transparency as a competitive advantage: Brands that communicate their promotional calendar early (like telling customers in October "this is the only Black Friday promotion you'll see from us") build trust while competitors exhaust and frustrate their audiences.Post-holiday retention begins at checkout: Collecting gift-giving data and offering time-sensitive follow-up promotions can transform one-time gift purchasers into repeat customers. The key is creating urgency without devaluing the brand.Communication requires quality, not quantity: Dodging customer fatigue is worth the awareness risk.  Dialing back from daily to weekly emails might be the better move for companies this year.Strategic budget allocation matters more than discount depth: Want to boost long-term profitability and brand equity? Give your VIP customers high-value discounts and experiences, not low-tier cherry-pickers who are unlikely to stick around.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with global saxophonist and influencer Chris Mitchell, whose life is a living testimony of faith, resilience, and the pursuit of purpose. Chris's story begins with unimaginable childhood trauma—witnessing extreme family violence, homelessness, and nights spent under bridges or on church floors. Yet, through it all, he never abandoned his faith. Instead, he leaned into his God-given gift of music, discovered at just five years old. From performing saxophone for tips at a small restaurant, to building an email list of over half a million contacts by hand, to selling out shows and eventually touring internationally with Groupon partnerships, Chris's relentless action and belief in divine guidance transformed his life. Today, he's not only one of the first 200 paid influencers on TikTok, but also a world-touring musician who's performed at major events, including for boxing champion Claressa Shields. His authenticity and commitment to connecting deeply with his audience set him apart in an age of surface-level influence. This conversation is about more than music. It's about overcoming adversity, trusting your gift, and building something extraordinary from nothing.  0:00 Intro 6:33 – The night his father stabbed his mother and sister 9:31 – How his mother miraculously survived 19:55 – Discovering his musical gift at age 4-5 24:18 – Evictions, homelessness & living in a church 31:53 – Staying on the “narrow path” through faith 49:31 – Graduating during the recession & struggling to find work 50:43 – Playing saxophone for tips at Turquoise 55:37 – The hustle: earning from small gigs 1:00:10 – Collecting half a million emails by hand 1:06:41 – Renting a jazz club & selling out in 20 minutes 1:12:29 – Touring America, sleeping in his SUV  1:24:00 – Partnering with Groupon to do an international world tour 1:27:03 – Surviving hardship while chasing the dream 1:28:28 – How faith guided every step 1:36:04 – Authenticity & building real connection with fans 1:40:14 – Final wisdom: resilience, faith & the power of your gift 1:55:56 A mini concert Check out Mark's best selling book on Leadership Strategy:
