Podcasts about Dollar General

By 9:45 PM, the aggressively bright fluorescent lights inside a giant Dollar General are enough to give anybody a headache, especially if you've been there all day. Ariel would know. She's worked there for two years, watching most of the town pass through her register.   But one family stood out. They always came in just before closing, carrying a smell of cat urine, their children clinging close, hair hanging over their eyes, never looking up.   The family always bought the same things: a jug of water… and a large bottle of vegetable oil. On June 29, Ariel rang them up like usual. The next day, she saw them on the news.   Sixteen children, crammed into a 12-by-12 room, in what's now called the Ohio “House of Horrors.” And one question lingers: what were they doing with the vegetable oil?         Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There's a skill an eighteen-year-old in the Siders case never picked up, and it's not for lack of effort — her mind formed inside a house with no school, no strangers, no outside world at all. Sixteen kids, one Hamden, Ohio address, and a town of seven hundred that claims total ignorance.Tony and Robin start with the timing that makes this case so hard to sit with: silence before the arrests, then a wealth of detail after. A Dollar General employee suddenly remembered years of specifics — clothing, hygiene, the family's odd shopping hours — the moment reporters came calling. A neighbor insists six years passed without her seeing a single child. Regular delivery drivers who encountered the oldest son noticed nothing worth flagging. The Attorney General points to deliberate record-avoidance, which is accurate — but that kind of avoidance only works with cooperation from everyone nearby.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott then explains what that isolation did to the children's development. She pushes back on the AG's "almost feral" framing and describes what actually happens to a mind that grows up entirely cut off. A number of the sixteen can't communicate verbally, and Scott lays out what tends to form between siblings who've only had each other as a language source. None of them knew their life was atypical — that house was the only reality they had. Scott closes with the Turpin case as the clearest comparison point: national sympathy and freedom didn't guarantee safety for those thirteen kids either.One town's blind spot, one house's cost — this episode puts them side by side.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a basic skill an eighteen-year-old in the Siders case never developed, and it's not because nobody tried — it's because her mind formed inside a sealed-off house with no school, no strangers, no world beyond four walls. Sixteen children, one Hamden, Ohio address, and a town that swears it saw nothing.Tony and Robin trace how that silence held for years. A Dollar General employee produced a flawless account of the family the moment reporters asked — hygiene, clothing, shopping habits, all recalled in detail. Before the arrests, none of it surfaced. A neighbor a few doors down claims six years without spotting a child. DoorDash drivers who regularly encountered the oldest son noticed nothing worth reporting. The Attorney General points to deliberate record-avoidance by the family — accurate, but avoidance like that only works when the people nearby choose not to look closer.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott then walks through what that isolation actually did to the children inside. She takes apart the AG's description of them as "almost feral," explaining what that label leaves out. Some of the sixteen can't speak in any conventional way, and Scott describes what forms between siblings who've only ever had each other for language. None of them knew their situation was unusual — that house was simply the world, and unlearning that takes time. Scott raises the Turpin case as the clearest precedent: freedom and sympathy didn't guarantee safety for those thirteen kids either.Two questions, one house, no easy answer for either.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

An eighteen-year-old connected to the Siders case can't do something most children master before kindergarten. Not neglect in the ordinary sense — total isolation from birth, in a house that sixteen children never really left. And a town of seven hundred that insists it never picked up on any of it.Tony and Robin open with the gap that defines this case: total silence before the arrests, followed by a Dollar General employee who could suddenly recall years of specific detail — clothing, hygiene, the family's late-night shopping habits — the moment cameras showed up. A neighbor claims six years without seeing a single child. Delivery drivers who regularly crossed paths with the oldest son noticed nothing alarming. The Attorney General cites deliberate record-avoidance by the family, which checks out — but hiding twenty people takes a town willing to look the other way.From there, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down what that isolation did developmentally. She challenges the AG's "almost feral" description and explains what it actually obscures. Several of the sixteen children don't speak conventionally, and Scott describes what tends to form between isolated siblings who've had only each other for communication, sometimes for years. None of them knew their situation was abnormal — it was simply the world they had. Scott brings up the Turpin case as the clearest warning: freedom and national attention didn't stop several of those thirteen kids from ending up homeless or in unsafe placements.A town's silence and a house's damage — Tony and Robin connect the two.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Picture it honestly. You're in line at Dollar General. Same family as always — the quiet woman, the kids that look a little off, clothes not quite right, always near closing. You've noticed for months. Maybe years. There's a number you could call. You've never called it. Neither did anyone in Hamden, Ohio — and sixteen children paid for that silence with their childhoods.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins to explain why almost nobody makes that call, no matter how certain they are that they would. The psychology has a structure: first the mind minimizes what it saw, then it assigns responsibility elsewhere, then it constructs a reasonable explanation, and finally it forgets — all within seconds, all automatically, all while you keep believing you're the kind of person who acts. Scott has watched this machinery from inside the therapy room for a career, and she's blunt about how universal it is.The conversation ends where Tony wants every listener to sit: this case is not rare, discovery is rare, and the difference between the Siders children and the hidden children near you is one accidental warrant. What breaks the pattern isn't new laws. It's people who override the machinery. Scott explains what that override actually takes.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Twenty human beings generate footprints. Trash. Grocery volume. Water usage. Noise through thin walls. Movement past windows. Twenty people in a five-room house next to railroad tracks produce evidence of themselves constantly, involuntarily, every hour of every day. And the official story out of Hamden, Ohio, is that for years, nobody registered any of it.Tony and Robin go live on the claim at the center of the Siders case. They walk through every touchpoint this family had with the outside world — the DoorDash routes, the Dollar General runs, the utility meters somebody read, the mail somebody delivered, the taxes somebody processed — and ask the audience directly: how many of these touchpoints would it have taken in your neighborhood before someone said something?The live format puts the town's defenders and critics in the same chat. Some will say a family determined to hide can hide anywhere. Others will say seven hundred people don't miss twenty. The conversation doesn't let either side off easy — because the answer determines whether the next sixteen kids get found by a neighbor or by another accident.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"I would have called." It's in every comment section, every conversation about the Siders case, every kitchen-table reaction to the news out of Hamden. And the research on actual bystander behavior says it's a lie — not a malicious one, but a lie we tell ourselves about who we are. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins live to close the gap between the person you believe you'd be and the person the data says you'd actually be.Scott walks through the real-time experience of the people around this family. The flicker of concern at the Dollar General register. The half-second of wondering about the house with the air conditioners and no visible children. And then the story the mind supplies — they're probably homeschoolers, someone would have reported it, it's not my place — that lets the moment pass. Multiply that by every person who crossed this family's path over eighteen years, and you get sixteen invisible children.The live conversation takes on the hardest version of the premise: families like this exist everywhere, right now, and the psychology that hid the Siders kids is the same psychology operating on every street. Scott's challenge to the audience is direct — what did you explain away this week?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Four adults are charged. But the blame in the Siders case doesn't stop at four — it spreads through a town that noticed and stayed silent, agencies that documented and never acted, a court that signed the license that started it, and a legislature that dismantled the one safeguard that might have caught it. Tony and Robin go live with the full conversation and put the question straight to the audience: rank the blame.Everything is on the board. Hamden's unanimous alibi and the details that shred it. The store clerk who remembered everything for reporters and reported nothing to authorities. The hospitals with sixteen unflagged deliveries and one unexamined tragedy. The senator sprinting from his own homeschool vote. The county-line file resets that gave the family a clean slate with every move. The million-dollar cleanup bill for a failure that prevention money never got the chance to stop. And the free pass every bystander held for eighteen years and never had to justify.The live chat drives the final segment — blame rankings, the Dollar General honesty test, and the charges-lawsuits-laws bet — because on this case, the audience's split verdict is the most honest polling Ohio is going to get.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every child protection reform in American history has a body count behind it. The laws get named after the kids they failed to save — passed in grief, funded briefly, and forgotten by the next budget cycle. The Siders case is about to generate its own round of them, and Tony and Robin open this conversation with the uncomfortable pattern: prevention never wins the funding fight until after it's already lost.The Vinton County numbers make the case better than any argument. A county too poor to jail a felony defendant. A state writing a million-dollar emergency check for aftermath it could have prevented for a fraction of the cost. A child welfare structure that resets at every county line because continuity costs money nobody wanted to spend. The hosts trace why that math — obvious, repeated, documented in case after case — never changes a legislature's behavior until the cameras arrive.Then the harder territory: what ordinary people owe. The Good Samaritan gap between protected-if-you-act and free-if-you-don't. The Dollar General thought experiment, played honestly. And the closing bets on which mechanism — prosecution, litigation, or legislation — actually stands between the next hidden family and another eighteen years of nobody looking.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Right now, in Ohio and almost everywhere else, you can watch a child deteriorate in front of you for years — notice everything, suspect everything — and owe nothing. No call. No report. No consequence. Good Samaritan laws protect you if you step up; nothing touches you if you don't. Tony and Robin go live on whether that free pass survives the Siders case.The live conversation runs the argument both directions with the chat weighing in. One side: attaching legal duty to ordinary citizens turns neighborhoods into informant networks, punishes people for judgment calls, and buries hotlines in noise. The other side: sixteen children spent eighteen years surrounded by people who noticed — the store clerk with years of detailed memories, the town that saw the family everywhere — and every one of them was legally entitled to do nothing, so they did.The Dollar General scenario goes to the audience directly: same line, same family, same off-looking kids, month after month. Real answer — do you call? The gap between what the chat says and what the research says people actually do becomes the whole point of the night.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dollar General Cake Challenge: Evan loves baking, but this time he wasn't allowed to touch the cakes. Evan thought he was coming to Stay Outta My Fridge to bake three elaborate cakes using only ingredients from Dollar General. Instead, Beard Laws surprised him with three apprentices: Iyla, Colden, and Madden. Evan could choose the cakes, set up the stations, assign the bakers, and run the kitchen, but he had to sit back and watch the chaos unfold. The three Dollar General cake creations were a Cosmic Brownie Cake, a S'mores Cake, and a Red Velvet Cookie Monster Cake. There was just one small problem: two of the three bakers had never made a cake before. What could possibly go wrong? Eggs were dropped. Cake mix went everywhere. Red velvet ended up on people who weren't even making the red velvet cake. Evan was trapped at the microphone trying to coach three bakers at once while Beard Laws provided play-by-play from the most chaotic kitchen in Stay Outta My Fridge history. And somehow, the kid who could barely crack an egg may have created the best cake of them all. WHAT'S IN THE FRIDGE THIS WEEK: • Three Dollar General cakes made on a budget • A chaotic kids baking challenge with a surprise twist • Cosmic Brownie, S'mores, and Red Velvet Cookie Monster cakes • A blind family taste test and cake competition • One legendary Dollar General hot dog holder for the winner After the cakes are baked and decorated, the apprentices disappear and a group of blind judges enters the kitchen. They have no idea which kid made which cake. The cakes are judged on appearance, creativity, and taste before the bakers return for the final winner reveal. Stay Outta My Fridge is the show where the kids take over the kitchen. Join Beard Laws, Iyla, and the family for chaotic food reviews, taste tests, cooking challenges, snack battles, and the kind of family moments that never go according to plan.

I only ask because last night I was heading to the Dollar General on Haines to get some munchies. And I noticed a police cruiser on Haines Ave very intent on pulling me over and I say that because this cruiser changed two stop lights misusing the emergency override. And they changed instantly upon approaching each intersection. I graduated with honors from Mitchell Tech in electrical construction and one thing you learn is traffic control and programming lighting. And it was obvious the emergency control was used to change the lights. Don't you think this a bit overstepping. If it's not a traffic quota then they are targeting old beaters because that's exactly what my 93 Dodge Dakota is"Children's Question: What is your favorite firework?Do you have a question?

In this fun but fascinating episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, Joe and Jennifer Shortridge explore reports of haunted Dollar General stores from across the United States. While most paranormal investigations focus on historic mansions, abandoned hospitals, prisons, or battlefields, this episode takes a look at a place millions of people visit every week. Could ordinary locations become the setting for extraordinary paranormal experiences? Joe and Jennifer examine reports from employees and customers who claim to have encountered unexplained activity while shopping or working inside Dollar General stores. Stories include reports of shadow figures lurking in store aisles, phantom footsteps echoing through empty buildings, mysterious voices heard in stockrooms, names being called when no one is present, and even the sound of conversations coming from completely vacant areas of stores. The episode explores four reported haunted Dollar General locations. One store was rumored to have been built on land connected to an abandoned cemetery. Another location became known among employees for reports of a mysterious "Midnight Walker" who appeared to roam the aisles after closing. Listeners will also hear about the legend of a woman seen repeatedly in one store's aisles and a location where workers claimed to hear voices and conversations coming from empty stockrooms. In addition to the location reports, Joe and Jennifer share three eyewitness accounts involving shadow people, phantom voices, and a mysterious child's laughter that was heard throughout a store despite no children being present. The episode also features a listener story from Sara P. of Toledo, Ohio. Sara describes hearing country music seemingly playing from nowhere while working at a Dollar General store. She also reports hearing conversations in empty areas of the building and repeatedly smelling cigarette smoke despite nobody smoking nearby. What makes the story especially intriguing is that Sara was unaware of the location's history. The store occupies part of the former Greenwood Mall property, where the popular country-western bar Bronco Billie's once operated. Portions of that former space reportedly still exist behind the current store location. Throughout the episode, Joe and Jennifer discuss possible explanations for these experiences, including environmental factors, psychological influences, residual hauntings, and paranormal theories. As always, the hosts approach each story with an open mind while encouraging listeners to draw their own conclusions. The conversation also takes a humorous turn as Joe and Jennifer discuss their many years traveling to paranormal conventions, haunted locations, and investigations across the Midwest. Along the way, Dollar General stores have become a familiar and often necessary stop for snacks, batteries, drinks, and supplies. Their running joke of counting Dollar General stores during road trips adds a lighthearted touch to this unusual paranormal topic. Whether you believe these stories are evidence of hauntings, residual energy, coincidence, or simple misinterpretation, this episode proves that paranormal reports can emerge from the most unexpected places. Join Joe and Jennifer for a unique exploration into one of the strangest collections of modern ghost stories yet—Haunted Dollar General Stores.

Something is shifting in net lease that every investor and owner needs to understand: cap rates are no longer moving in lockstep with the 10-year Treasury. The traditional risk premium framework is breaking down, and in its place, tenant quality, business trajectory, and lease structure are doing the pricing work.In this episode, Karly Iacono breaks down exactly what's happening and why:-What's compressing: McDonald's and Chick-fil-A ground leases are trading in the high 3s to low 4s — tighter than ever — even as rates move against them. -What's widening and why it matters: Dollar General and Dollar Tree cap rates are out due to supply, not business failure. Drugstores are a different story. -The scarcity factor: Few investment-grade retailers have single-tenant expansion pipelines right now. -The maturity wall: Forced sellers heading into Q3/Q4 create opportunity. That's where quality product trades at rational numbers.

Why Triple Net Leases Beat Rentals features Tom Rauen breaking down how he scaled from nightmare residential tenants to owning over 40 passive commercial properties with national brands like Starbucks, Dollar General, and Applebee's. In this episode of the Real Estate Masters Podcast, Tom shares why he left single-family investing behind, how triple net leases create long-term passive income, and the strategies he uses to find off-market commercial deals. He also explains the power of 1031 exchanges, passive cash flow, and why consistency matters more than timing in today's market. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

Brett Husslein and Burt Flickinger examine how value-seeking behavior has spread across every income level, driving even high earners toward discount retailers like Dollar General (DG) and Dollar Tree (DLTR) while big-box leaders Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT), and Costco (COST) brace for tariff and fuel headwinds. Flickinger paints a sobering picture of American households stretched to the limit — cutting dining out, leaning on debt, and squeezing every dollar of their grocery budgets.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

LikeFolio's Andy Swan says Dollar General (DG) is benefiting from trade-down trends, with rising traffic pointing to steady demand. Tariffs and margin pressure remain risks. The focus is on whether pricing can offset those pressures into earnings.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1356: Today we unpack the million buyers who've quietly exited the new-car market, why off-lease inventory is finally rebounding (briefly), and how America's new “premium economy” is changing the way consumers spend, travel and shop.Show Notes with links:A million Americans have quietly exited the new-car market and the shrinking pool of buyers is raising long-term concerns for dealers and OEMs alike.Analysts say roughly one million prospective buyers have defected from the new-car market since 2020 as average transaction prices hover near $50,000 and financing costs remain stubbornly high.Pre-pandemic U.S. sales regularly topped 17 million vehicles annually. Now the industry is bracing for about 16 million sales this year with little confidence the old highs will return anytime soon.Instead of chasing volume with discounts, automakers are leaning into profitable trucks and SUVs. Selling fewer vehicles at higher margins has become an unexpectedly comfortable business model for Detroit.“I don't want to say automakers are OK with this level of sales, but they kind of are.” — Ivan Drury, Edmunds analystVolvo commercial chief Erik Severinson didn't mince words: “This is a real threat to the whole industry… people are not able to buy new cars.”The off-lease floodgates are finally reopening… kind of. Nearly 500,000 more lease returns are expected to hit the used-car market this year, but analysts say the glory days of leasing still aren't coming back anytime soon.Edmunds says off-lease volume is expected to jump nearly 26% year-over-year in 2026 with another 400,000 units expected in 2027 as the industry slowly recovers from the leasing collapse of the pandemic years.After 2027, off-lease inventory is expected to level off because leasing volumes never fully recovered after COVID-era shortages and rising prices.Leasing penetration peaked around 29% before COVID but cratered to just 18% in 2022 as inventory shortages and high prices crushed affordability. Even now, lease activity remains well below historic norms.Edmunds says the leasing slowdown is reshaping the used-car business because many mainstream vehicles no longer produce the steady stream of predictable off-lease inventory dealers once relied on.Ivan Drury: “Without a major shift in incentives toward leasing, we are likely to be stuck in this stifled state of leasing for the foreseeable future.”Forget the “K-shaped economy.” Some economists say America is now a “premium economy” where consumers can't afford houses or retirement, but they can afford upgraded flights, better groceries and premium experiences.More Americans are entering the upper-middle class, but home ownership and retirement still feel out of reach for many younger consumers.The upper-middle class has grown from 10% of families in 1979 to 31% in 2024, according to research from the American Enterprise Institute.Instead of buying homes, consumers are spending on smaller “premium” upgrades like travel, concerts and nicer retail experiences. Delta and United captured more than 90% of airline profits last year while Spirit struggled.Walmart has become a major winner by improving stores, delivery and curbside pickup, pulling shoppers away from lower-cost competitors like Dollar General.Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta predicts the economy could eventually shift from “K-shaped” to “C-shaped” as lower inflation and AI-driven productivity help consumer spending “converge” and be more balanced across income levels.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
