We're live this week in the "Center of the Universe" in Seattle for a special recording of the GeekWire Podcast, presented by the Fremont Chamber of Commerce at Fremont Brewing Co. Fresh off the Seahawks' Super Bowl victory, we debate some potential ownership groups for the Seahawks and Sonics — from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez to Costco's Jim Sinegal. (Who wouldn't want $1.50 hot dogs and sodas at Lumen Field or Climate Pledge Arena?) Then we dig into the debate over Seattle's tech future, sparked by angel investor Charles Fitzgerald's GeekWire column, "A warning to Seattle: Don't become the next Cleveland," which led to a response and ultimately a great conversation with Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb. Fremont Chamber Executive Director Pete Hanning joins us to talk about the neighborhood's tech corridor, why Fremont offices are seeing some of the highest return-to-office rates on the West Coast, and how the neighborhood balances its quirky identity with serious business. In the final segment: Test your Seattle tech knowledge with our Fremont-themed tech trivia, plus audience Q&A, in which Todd comes clean about his relationship with Claude. With GeekWire co-founders Todd Bishop and John Cook. Edited by Curt Milton.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We begin with a shopping note you might like to have.I'm a subscriber to Consumer Reports, and this month, March/April is the automotive annual and I found this advice on P/39 Brighten up the headlights and a product recommended by Sylvania Headlight restoration kit / $28/USI visit a local bank weekly, it's in a strip mall near my home, and I pass an Auto Zone, so I trotted in there with my copy of Consumer Reports — I had circled the magazine text. Yes, they had the product, but other brands for less than $28, including one Turtle Wax for $19.99, now I know Sylvania might know more about lights, but Turtle Wax knows car finishes.Volia, I get to the counter and discover an additional store discount of 20%, because I had joined before the advent of “club” shopping. PS You won't find this deal at Costco either.

(February 13, 2026) IT’S FOODIE FRIDAY! Food enthusiast and host of ‘The Fork Report’ on KFI Neil Saavedra joins Bill to talk about new items at Wendy’s, the best jarred pasta, & Valentine’s Day desserts from Costco. The show closes with ‘Ask Handel Anything.’See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode I take you behind the curtain of one of those life moments nobody puts on a vision board. My husband casually drops the “I was let go today” bomb, and suddenly our tidy little world turns into a Lifetime movie starring me, my sweatpants, and a Costco-sized box of anxiety.I walk through my very dramatic tour of the five stages of grief: denial, panic, more panic, crying and finally acceptance. I find a job. A real one. With an alarm clock and grown-up clothes and people who expect me to know things before my second cup of coffee. I talk about the weird identity shift from stay-at-home mom energy to corporate America receptionist, and how starting over in midlife is equal parts terrifying and empowering.Mostly, it's a reminder that life has zero respect for our plans, but somehow we keep moving forward anyway. Sweatpants get folded, résumés get updated, and eventually the next chapter shows up whether you're ready or not.Hashtags:#LifeHappens #StartingOver #MidlifeMom #JobLossJourney #ReinventionEra #SweatpantsToSuccess #RealLifeRealTalk #WorkingMomAgain #MarriageAndChange #OnCallNana #Dawnversations #HumorAndHeart #KeepGoing

This Day in Legal History: Bruno Hauptmann ConvictedOn February 13, 1935, a New Jersey jury convicted Bruno Hauptmann of kidnapping and murdering the infant son of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh. The crime had transfixed the nation for nearly three years and was widely labeled the “Crime of the Century.” The child was taken from the Lindbergh home in 1932, and despite a ransom payment, was later found dead. Public outrage was immediate and intense, with newspapers covering nearly every development in the investigation and trial.Hauptmann's prosecution relied heavily on circumstantial evidence, including ransom notes and expert testimony linking his handwriting to those notes. The government also introduced evidence tying marked ransom bills to Hauptmann's possession. The trial raised early concerns about the reliability of forensic handwriting analysis and the influence of media attention on jury impartiality. Critics then and now have questioned whether the intense publicity compromised due process protections.The case also reshaped federal criminal law. In response to the kidnapping, Congress enacted the Lindbergh Law, formally known as the Federal Kidnapping Act. The statute made it a federal offense to transport a kidnapping victim across state lines, expanding federal jurisdiction over what had traditionally been a state crime. That shift reflected a broader trend during the early twentieth century toward increased federal involvement in criminal enforcement.Today, the Hauptmann conviction remains a staple in criminal law courses, not only for its tragic facts but also for its lasting procedural and constitutional implications.Goldman Sachs' chief legal officer, Kathy Ruemmler, resigned after newly released Justice Department documents detailed her past communications with Jeffrey Epstein. CEO David Solomon announced that he accepted her resignation, which will take effect on June 30. Ruemmler said the media attention surrounding her prior legal work had become a distraction. The disclosures showed she exchanged numerous emails with Epstein between 2014 and 2019 and received gifts from him, including luxury items. Some emails revealed that she advised Epstein on how to respond to press inquiries about his treatment by prosecutors.The documents also noted that Epstein attempted to contact her by phone on the night of his 2019 arrest on sex trafficking charges. Ruemmler stated that she knew Epstein only in her capacity as a defense attorney and denied any knowledge of ongoing criminal conduct. Before joining Goldman, she led the white-collar defense practice at Latham & Watkins and previously served as White House counsel during the Obama administration.The broader document release has drawn attention to Epstein's connections within major financial institutions, including UBS and JPMorgan. Ruemmler's departure marks one of the most prominent banking exits linked to the renewed scrutiny of Epstein's network.Top Goldman Sachs lawyer Ruemmler resigns after Epstein disclosures | ReutersA federal judge in Minnesota ruled that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement improperly interfered with detainees' access to their attorneys during a recent enforcement operation. U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel found that ICE's practices during “Operation Metro Surge” effectively denied thousands of people meaningful legal access. The order requires ICE to stop quickly transferring detainees out of Minnesota and to permit attorney visits and confidential phone calls. The ruling will remain in effect for 14 days while the case proceeds.The class action lawsuit was filed on January 27 on behalf of noncitizen detainees. According to the court, many individuals were moved out of state without notice, making it difficult or impossible for lawyers to locate them. In some instances, detainees were transferred so often that ICE itself lost track of their whereabouts. Judge Brasel concluded that while ICE did not formally deny the right to counsel, its actions in practice severely limited that right.The court also cited evidence that detainees were given limited phone access, sometimes sharing a small number of phones among dozens of people, with calls occurring in nonprivate settings. One asylum seeker with a valid work permit was held for 18 days despite a court order requiring his earlier release and was transferred across multiple states without explanation. The judge rejected ICE's claim that it lacked sufficient resources, noting that the agency had committed substantial personnel and funding to the enforcement effort.ICE blocked detainees' access to lawyers in Minnesota, judge finds | ReutersPresident Donald Trump announced four new judicial nominations, including a White House attorney selected for a seat on the U.S. Court of International Trade. The nominee, Kara Westercamp, currently serves as associate counsel in the White House and previously worked at the Justice Department. If confirmed, she would join a nine-member court that handles disputes involving U.S. trade laws, including challenges to tariffs. Her nomination comes as numerous companies contest Trump's sweeping global tariffs and seek refunds on duties already paid.Retailers and manufacturers such as Costco, Goodyear, and Revlon have filed lawsuits arguing that the tariffs exceed presidential authority. Earlier rulings from the trade court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit blocked most of the tariffs, and the U.S. Supreme Court is now reviewing the matter. Trump has publicly criticized the earlier decisions.In addition to Westercamp, Trump nominated Katie Lane to a federal district court in Montana, Sheria Clarke to a district court seat in South Carolina, and federal prosecutor Evan Rikhye to a 10-year term on the District Court of the Virgin Islands. All nominees must be confirmed by the Senate.Trump nominates White House lawyer to court hearing tariff cases | ReutersFormer CNN anchor Don Lemon is scheduled to appear in federal court in Minnesota to enter a plea related to charges stemming from his coverage of a protest at a St. Paul church. The protest targeted President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement surge in the state. Lemon, now an independent journalist, livestreamed the January 18 demonstration, which disrupted a worship service at Cities Church.Federal prosecutors charged him with conspiring to violate civil rights and with obstructing access to a house of worship under a statute also used in cases involving abortion clinic protests. His attorney argues that the prosecution infringes on Lemon's First Amendment rights and characterizes the case as an attack on press freedom. Trump publicly supported the charges, while Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that authorities would protect the right to worship without interference.The protest occurred during broader demonstrations against federal immigration actions in Minnesota, where thousands had gathered to oppose the crackdown. Lemon was seen on video speaking with activists before and during the disruption and interviewing participants and congregants inside the church. Another journalist, Georgia Fort, faces similar charges and has denied wrongdoing, stating she was reporting rather than participating.Journalist Don Lemon to enter plea in Minnesota ICE protest case | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Johann Sebastian Bach.Bach stands as one of the central figures of the Baroque era, revered for the structural clarity and spiritual depth of his music. Born in 1685 into a long line of musicians, Bach spent much of his career serving as a church organist and cantor in German cities such as Arnstadt, Weimar, and Leipzig. Though not widely celebrated outside musical circles during his lifetime, his reputation has since grown to near-mythic status. His compositions balance intellectual precision with emotional resonance, blending intricate counterpoint with lyrical expression.This week's closing theme is his Cello Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007, likely composed around 1720 during his tenure in Köthen. The suite opens with one of the most recognizable preludes in all of classical music, built from flowing arpeggios that unfold with quiet inevitability. Written for unaccompanied cello, the piece demonstrates Bach's ability to imply harmony and depth through a single melodic line. The suite follows the traditional Baroque dance structure, moving from Prelude through Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Menuets, and Gigue.For many listeners, the Prelude evokes clarity, order, and calm—qualities that make it a fitting close to the week. Its simplicity is deceptive; beneath the surface lies careful architecture and subtle harmonic movement. The work fell into relative obscurity until the twentieth century, when cellist Pablo Casals famously revived it and brought it to concert stages worldwide. Today, it remains a cornerstone of the cello repertoire and a touchstone of Baroque artistry. As a closing theme, it offers both reflection and renewal, ending not with flourish but with quiet confidence.Without further ado, Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007–enjoy!

Nach der letzten Sendung mit Stefan Waldhauser kamen viele Aktienwünsche aus den Kommentaren – und bei einigen haben bei Tobias Kramer sofort die Alarmglocken geläutet: Vieles wirkt einfach überteuert? Gleichzeitig ist „teuer“ ein Begriff, der zwei Ebenen hat: Unternehmenswert (Marktkapitalisierung bzw. Enterprise Value) und Bewertung der Aktie (Multiples wie KGV). In dieser Folge wird deshalb nicht „gefühlt“, sondern systematisch gefiltert: Ausgehend von Unternehmen mit mehr als 200 Mrd. US-Dollar Marktkapitalisierung wird bewusst nach hohen Bewertungen gesucht – mit einem klaren Kriterium: KGV > 40 - auf zwei verschiedenen Zeitebenen. Ergebnis: zehn Aktien, die diese Hürden erfüllen – mit einer Tabelle, die die wichtigsten Kennzahlen auf einen Blick zusammenführt (u.a. Trendindikator über die 200-Tage-Linie, Debt/EBITDA, Price/Sales, erwartetes Umsatz- und Gewinnwachstum sowie eine 3-Jahres-Perspektive auf das KGV. Der wertvollste teure Aktie, Tesla, wird genutzt, um die Logik der Tabelle zu erklären – inklusive der Frage, wie stark bei manchen Unternehmen heute bereits Zukunftsversprechen im Kurs eingepreist sind (z.B. neue Märkte wie autonomes Fahren oder humanoide Roboter). Danach folgt der Überblick über alle zehn Werte, die so wohl noch nie zusammengestellt wurden. Mit dabei sind unter anderem auch ASML, Palantir, Intel, Lam Research, GE Vernova und GE Aerospace. Drei Unternehmen werden anschließend ausführlicher eingeordnet: - Hermès als Luxus-Ausnahme mit starker Marke und Preissetzungsmacht – bei gleichzeitig begrenzter „Luft“ für weitere Multiple-Expansion. - Costco als extrem beliebtes Mitgliedschaftsmodell mit hoher Kundentreue und der Spagat zwischen Qualität, Execution und Multiple. - Walmart als zwar größte Vertriebsmaschine der Welt, bei der sich aber und die Bewertungsfrage aufdrängt, denn wieso notiert ein Lebensmittelhändler mit einem derartig hohen KGV? Am Ende steht wie immer die Einladung: Welche Auswertungen wären als Nächstes spannend (z.B. andere Marktkapitalisierungs-Schwellen oder Filterkombinationen) – und welche Aktien sollen in künftigen Folgen genauer auf den Prüfstand? Aktienmarkt, Marktanalyse, Börsenüberblick: Die 10 teuersten Aktien der Welt per Filter (Marktkapitalisierung, KGV, Forward-KGV) – Bewertung, Risiko-Management, Sektortrends und Echtgeld-Depot-Einordnung.

Will Nitze went from selling Linsanity T-shirts in his college dorm to building IQ Bar into a $125 million brain food empire—with just a team of ten people. No bloated headcount. No burning through VC cash. Just ruthless focus on unit economics and a contrarian approach to funding that let him scale aggressively while maintaining control. In this interview, the founder and CEO of IQ Bar breaks down how he turned a $73,000 Kickstarter into one of the fastest-growing CPG brands in America, why he believes bootstrapping is the worst thing you can do in food and beverage, and the exact moment—five years in—when he knew this could be a massive company. From cracking Costco and Whole Foods to reinventing the business over ten times, this episode is a masterclass in hyper-lean growth, retail strategy, and building a company like a knife fight. What you'll learn in this interview: • Why bootstrapping is the worst thing you can do in CPG • Will's contrarian fundraising strategy: raising less money, more often to maintain control • How he raised just under $10 million while still controlling the company • The exact moment, five years in, when he knew IQ Bar could be a big company • Why IQ Bar has reinvented its fundamental identity over ten times • How to navigate the cash conversion cycle while scaling physical products • Why retail is the "final boss" for CPG brands, even in the e-commerce era • The strategic shift from DTC to cracking Costco, Whole Foods, Walmart, and Target • Why consumers are less loyal every year and how more touchpoints solve that • How building a personal brand creates a network of category experts By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to scale a physical product business without burning cash, maintain control while raising capital strategically, and build the operational discipline required to survive in one of the toughest industries in the world. If you're building a CPG brand, navigating fundraising decisions, or trying to crack retail while staying lean, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about growth, control, and category-defining execution.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Gabrielle Bosche, co-founder of The Purpose Company and bestselling author of The Purpose Factor, to unravel a mystery that haunts everyone from college students to Fortune 500 executives: Why am I here, and what am I supposed to do next? Gabrielle reveals that finding your purpose isn't about a "vague feeling" or "following your passion" into a dead end—it is a systematic, science-based process that can be reverse-engineered. After training over 120,000 people, including US military leaders and presidential campaigns, Gabrielle shares the "Purpose Factor" framework, a tool designed to move you from a "kid lost at Costco" to an individual with "unreasonable certainty" about your life's direction.

In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we examine economies of scale, why growth strengthens some businesses while destroying value for others, and how cost structure ultimately determines whether scale becomes an advantage or a liability.Economies of scale are often treated as a vague benefit of getting bigger, but this episode breaks the concept down to its financial mechanics. We focus on fixed cost leverage, variable cost intensity, and operational leverage to explain why companies like Walmart, Amazon, and Costco become more efficient as they grow, while others struggle despite rapid revenue expansion.Using real-world examples, we show how scale changes unit economics, pricing power, margin resilience, and capital allocation decisions. We also explore the limits of scale and why growth alone does not guarantee profitability when variable costs dominate the business model.In this episode, we cover:What economies of scale actually mean in financial termsHow fixed costs and variable costs shape margin expansionWhy fixed cost leverage lowers unit costs as volume increasesHow purchasing power and logistics scale reinforce competitive advantageWhy Amazon accepted years of losses to build scale-driven efficiencyHow Costco uses scale to support a membership-based profit modelWhy Blue Apron's cost structure prevented profitable scalingThe role of operational leverage in amplifying upside and downside riskHow finance teams evaluate breakeven volumes and capacity utilizationWhy scale must reduce costs faster than complexity increases themThis episode also explains how finance leaders use these concepts in practice. Decisions around investing ahead of demand, expanding capacity, pricing aggressively, or slowing growth all depend on whether scale is improving unit economics or simply increasing exposure.This episode is designed for:Corporate finance professionalsFP&A and strategic finance teamsInvestors and analysts evaluating business modelsLeaders making capital allocation and growth decisions

Todd and Julie are back at the mic and this one starts exactly how you'd expect… with peptides, bloodwork, juicing marathons, and a near-injury courtesy of a carrot. Julie is easing into working out “slowly,” Todd is two days sober from Mexican Coke, and somewhere in between 11 tubes of blood and a Costco run, they've decided they're officially on a health journey... But that's just the warm-up.The conversation takes a sharp turn into the very public Beckham family drama, and let's just say Todd has thoughts. From respect, parenting, and airing dirty laundry, they break down what happens when family issues become headlines. It opens the door to a bigger conversation about how they raised their own kids, why they don't believe in “gentle parenting,” and the pride they take in manners, discipline, and raising children who could sit in a five-star restaurant without causing chaos.They also talk about what's ahead: Julie stepping out of her comfort zone for a new show, Todd producing her again for the first time in nearly 28 months, Masked Singer reactions, upcoming projects, and the reality of being apart for almost a month for the first time in a long time. It's funny, fiery, sentimental, and ends with a reminder that through everything, they still choose each other.This is Chrisley Confessions 2.0. Real life. Real opinions.

While the world's athletes compete for Winter Olympic Gold, Walmart has secured a podium finish of its own – becoming the first retailer to skate past the $1 trillion market cap milestone. But is this value retail rally a high-speed slalom to success or a slippery slope? In this episode of Magic Markets, The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla unpack why US consumers might be ditching big brands for private labels and dollar stores. Closer to home in South Africa, they discuss why shrinking into prosperity can work for apparel, but not for grocery. Moe explores how Walmart has entrenched itself as a dominant US retailer through a relentless focus on fulfilment and logistics. With the chain in its infancy in South Africa (having just opened their third store), Walmart faces a fierce battle for the notoriously price-sensitive South African consumer's wallet.  While Shoprite builds a world-class omnichannel empire, powered by an army of Sixty60 scooters, Pick n Pay finds itself in dire straits. The market is valuing its core business at less than zero once you strip out its pure-play discounter, Boxer. Is there a chance for Woolworths and SPAR to claw back some market share here? Can Walmart make a dent? Today's Topics: How Walmart garnered ‘Big Tech'-esque success (and why Moe is so optimistic) Why Shoprite is no longer just a grocer, but a fulfilment engine that competitors struggle to replicate. Why Boxer was up 11% this past year while PnP continues to struggle, and what this says about grocery scale economics. Why SPAR's franchise model is struggling to compete with the centralised power of omnichannel retail. A look at why the US's Dollar Tree and Dollar General are flying high while high-street discretionary spend is hitting a wall.

Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug pull up a rickety basement chair and unpack a growing trend: people treating investing like a series of high stakes bets instead of a long term plan. Sparked by a recent Wall Street Journal piece on aggressive investing, the gang digs into where the line is between smart risk taking and straight up gambling with your future. Using plenty of real world examples and a few basement metaphors, the crew breaks down how stocks, businesses, options, and even so-called innovative products can fall into very different categories depending on why you're using them. The key theme? Good investing isn't about being bold. It's about understanding probabilities, controlling what you can, and stacking the odds in your favor over time. Along the way, the team also tackles listener questions, including some strong feelings about Costco (because of course), and shines a flashlight into the dark corners of complex products like Indexed Universal Life insurance, explaining why "sounds sophisticated" doesn't always mean "fits your plan." If markets feel noisy, confusing, or a little unhinged right now, this episode is your reminder that boring, disciplined strategies still win, and that you don't need to bet the farm to build one. What You'll Learn: • Why so many investors are confusing betting with investing right now • How to tell the difference between calculated risk and speculation • Why understanding probability matters more than chasing big wins • Where options, businesses, and alternative investments can fit and where they often don't • The hidden risks behind complex products like Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policies • Why compounding beats hype even when headlines say otherwise • How small, consistent decisions quietly outperform flashy moves • Yes, what Costco has to do with smart money choices This Episode Is For You If: • Markets feel confusing and you're not sure if you're investing or just guessing • You've been tempted by strategies that sound sophisticated but feel risky • You want to understand the line between smart risk and gambling • You're tired of flashy investment advice and want clarity on what actually works • You need reassurance that boring, disciplined strategies still win Question for You: What's the riskiest financial move you've ever considered, and what stopped you (or didn't)?

What would you call a marriage where spouses see “eye to eye” about money? Some might call it bliss.It's true that most couples at least occasionally quarrel about their finances. But could a better understanding of each other's values help spouses avoid that bickering? Shaunti Feldhahn thinks so, and she joins us today to talk about it.Shaunti Feldhahn is a Harvard graduate, former Wall Street analyst, social researcher, best-selling author, and a prominent public speaker. She is the co-author of Thriving in Love and Money: 5 Game-Changing Insights about Your Relationship, Your Money, and Yourself, written with her husband, Jeff, and has co-authored several other books with him, revealing impactful truths about relationships at home and in the workplace.A Lesson Learned Over DinnerShaunti and her husband, Jeff, learned this lesson early in their marriage. Living in New York, they often ate out due to their demanding schedules. However, a seemingly small issue—ordering a Diet Coke—would trigger recurring arguments. Jeff, concerned about their financial future and mounting student loan debt, saw the expense as unnecessary, while Shaunti viewed it as a simple enjoyment that enhanced her meal.It wasn't until years later, during their research for their book Thriving in Love & Money, that they realized their conflict stemmed from differing values. Jeff prioritized financial security, while Shaunti valued the experience and enjoyment of a meal. Once they uncovered this, they could communicate more effectively and honor each other's perspectives.The Root of Money Conflicts in MarriageFinancial disagreements often arise because couples fail to recognize and respect each other's values. In Shaunti and Jeff's national study, they found that:67% of couples in financial conflicts believe their perspective is the logical one.Couples often perceive their spouse's spending habits as irrational simply because they prioritize different things.For example, one spouse might see value in spending money on a gym membership for networking and health benefits, while the other might believe household essentials from Costco are a better use of resources. The key takeaway? Neither perspective is wrong—both are rooted in deeply held values.The Power of CommunicationThe solution to money conflicts isn't just budgeting or financial planning; it's communication. It's crucial that couples discuss not just what they want to spend money on, but why it matters to them.By having open and honest conversations about financial priorities, couples can:Build mutual understanding and trust.Find compromises that respect both perspectives.Create a financial plan that aligns with their shared goals and values.While couples can work through these issues on their own, it can be very beneficial to seek guidance from financial advisors—especially those with a biblical perspective. Kingdom Advisors, for example, are trained to address not just the numbers, but the relational and spiritual aspects of money management.Advisors can help couples navigate tough conversations, align their financial goals with their values, and ultimately steward their resources in a way that honors God and strengthens their marriage.At the heart of every financial decision in marriage lies an opportunity to foster unity rather than division. God cares just as much about the marriage as He does about the finances. By understanding and honoring each other's values, couples can turn money from a source of conflict into an instrument of peace and purpose.————————————————————————————————Shaunti Feldhahn's full article, “Money in Marriage: It's a Matter of Value,” appears in the 1st issue of Faithful Steward magazine.

Nicotine is having a moment. Biohackers are popping pouches. Health influencers are praising its focus benefits. Your aunt just texted asking if she should try it.But nobody's talking about what actually matters: where it comes from, how it's processed, and whether the stuff on the market is helping you — or slowly wrecking your gums, your lungs, and your nervous system.David Avocado Wolfe has been growing tobacco for 25 years. Not the hot dog version they shred into cigarettes — heirloom strains from seeds unearthed on archaeological digs, cultivated on certified biodynamic land, processed the way indigenous shamans have done it for 10,000 years.This is the conversation about nicotine that isn't happening in the comment section. The difference between medicine and poison. Why dosage and sourcing are everything.

Welcome to your break from reality! This week Tayler kicks off the month of love with the story of one sided love gone very bad. Ricardo Lopez. The man so in love with the singer Bjork whom he had never met, he tried to mail her a bomb to show his outrage over her new real life boyfriend. Christine shares a story of badassery and survival from a young girl Elizabeth Shoaf. The young teen the media dubbed "bunker Girl" who outsmarted her captor and saved herself from being held captive. Spank you for listening. Do less God bless. Gloom & Bloom out!

This funny news show starts with Valentine's Day confusion and quickly spirals into a full-on identity crisis. Rizz is possibly spending Valentine's Day alone, possibly with DJ Pauly D, definitely not wearing pants—and that's just the beginning. From not knowing zodiac signs (but somehow surviving marriage) to realizing that birthdays close to Valentine's Day are a strategic advantage, the crew kicks things off with peak relationship chaos.Then comes the house rating heard 'round St. Louis. Rafe's new place gets evaluated like a Zillow listing with emotional baggage, complete with debates over shoveling etiquette, floating stairs, blind dogs, and the slowest move-in process known to man. Somehow, this leads to lunch, which turns into a bit, which turns into strangers questioning reality as Rafe pretends to be a superfan in public. Normal stuff.From there, the show leans hard into the realization that everyone is officially old now. Grocery stores are playing bangers. Bars are confusing. Costco is no longer a chore—it's an experience. Socks slap. Grapes are elite. Clothes are “not that bad.” And the biggest shock of all? Costco and Nike teaming up to release Kirkland Dunks that immediately resell for stupid money. The dads are not okay.The episode wraps with minivan supremacy, sneaker generational debates, knowing where the nearest hospital is at all times, and the quiet acceptance that this daily comedy show is now powered by dad logic, utility vehicles, and bulk pricing.
