Plo Koon: the underrated Jedi Master who deserved more Todd Hoffman takes a deep dive into Plo Koon, breaking down why the Jedi Master stands out as one of the most memorable background characters in Star Wars. He also connects Plo Koon's Clone Wars appearances to his larger legacy, especially his bond with Ahsoka Tano and his role on the Jedi Council. In this episode, Todd also covers four Star Wars news items, including Embo's return in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, Ahsoka season 2 and the Mortis gods, the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, and George Lucas defending the Special Edition changes. Key topics: Todd introduces the Imperial Inspection series and argues that Plo Koon is a Jedi who "deserved more." Plo Koon's core canon background: from Dorin, member of the Jedi High Council, and respected Clone Wars general. His connection to Ahsoka Tano, including discovering her early and maintaining a meaningful bond with her. Why The Clone Wars elevated Plo Koon beyond what the films alone could do. What makes Plo Koon visually distinctive: his Kel Dor design, breathing mask, and orange skin. Why Todd sees Plo Koon as calm, wise, compassionate, and closer to Qui-Gon Jinn than to Mace Windu. His strengths as a Force user, pilot, and lightsaber combatant, plus his empathetic leadership of clone troopers. The tragedy of his death during Order 66 and why that sequence hits so hard. A hypothetical look at what Plo Koon might have done if he had survived Order 66. Why Todd considers Plo Koon underrated, underexplored, and especially rewarding for The Clone Wars fans.

In the news this morning, a recall on raw meat sold nationwide, Harvey Weinstein gets sentenced to 15 years for sexual assault, RIP to Peter Byrne of "Naked Eyes", Jonathan Taylor-Thomas gets arrested for assaulting a police officer, a lesbian bar in Massachusetts lifts their mask mandate and people are freaking out, and hundreds of lawsuits allege that GLP-1's are causing vision loss!

Talked about what's on TV & streaming today & tomorrow. And speaking of streaming, Disney+ is once again raising it's rates. Yay! Plus, a new documentary about the making of "Goodfellas" is on the way. A heroic dog that helped to rescue dozens of people after the earthquakes in Venezuela earlier this year is getting a statue! And a new wildlife overpass in Colorado is saving hundreds of animals from vehicle collisions since it was installed. Does your garage need some refreshing?

A new survey on Reddit asked people to list things that are overrated, Office Cora joined the show just after 8am to talk about what she's up to in the 715 this weekend, and I also asked her which "One Gotta Go Wednesday" items she's getting rid of forever. Oktoberfest beer, brats, music, or the outfits. (She went with brats!) And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman who drank toilet water in an effort to fool a breathalyzer, an A.I. Onlyfans account made a ridiculous amount of money, a mom in Michigan who left her 3 & 4 year olds home alone & surrounded by trash...and they were found by cops eating spoiled raw meat, a guy who really loves feet, and a couple of mechanics who got fired after they used a racial slur on a customer's oil change reminder sticker.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anthony asks Harrison a hypothetical question given how things have gone between the Pistons and Jalen Duren. Would the Lakers have been better off trying to play this situation to their own benefit? From there, the guys partake in one of their favorite annual traditions: Media Day Bingo.

It's SHOW DAY!!! After some rain this morning, it's going to dry out a bit & be REALLY nice for the Nothing More/In This Moment/Atreyu show at Copeland Park & Events Center tonight. See you guys there! This morning, we talked to Office Cora just after 8am to see what she's up to in the 715 this weekend. And we asked each other hypothetical questions on "Hypothetical Thursday". Brian's question for Jean was: "If you could only eat the same breakfast, the same lunch, and the same dinner daily—all different meals– what three meals would you choose?" Jean's question for Brian was: In the news today, the Federal Reserve rate hike, Ed Sheeran loses all his opening acts & his backing band...plus, a contest to find an opening act for Ed goes viral. Also in the news, a former WI teacher pleads guilty to sexual assault, a recall on hand soap...and a chance to win some Megan Fox/Dr. Squatch soap. Plus, a portion of Lake Erie is now named the "Gulf of Cleveland", and a wild video of a guy who not only broke out of his handcuffs in an Ohio courthouse...but his near escape! In sports, the Brewers beat the Pirates again last night, a look at the NFL's week 2 schedule and week 3 of NCAAF. Sam Darnold will be out for the Seahawks this weekend, Connor Hellebuyck gets suspended by the Winnipeg Jets, and the latest on Keenan Allen's DUI arrest. We let you know what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" sets even more records. The new "Avengers" popcorn bucket looks pretty badass. And Ozzy's final live concert is coming to theaters in October. A stolen bodega cat is finally returned, a chef is getting recognition for helping a woman get home safely, a missing dog is reunited with it's owners, and Nash the golden retriever is a totally good boy...but a TERRIBLE guard dog. Elsewhere in sports, the fallout from that woman who shit herself at a Hyrox competition, Ryan Lasko finally leaves the hospital, Travis Kelce was a victim in a ponzi scheme, Joe Buck signs a contract extension, and a couple of LSU fans left their kid at home to go to a game. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMom and her son who were in an incestual relationship, a woman in Maryland who assaulted a clerk at a convenience store because the line was too long, another #FloridaWoman who got arrested after her husband found videos of her committing bestiality with the family dog, and a police department in Texas that shut down completely after arresting a woman for a Facebook post.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder what the Steelers would be looking to get for CB Joey Porter Jr. if they eventually decided to trade him.

Thinking about moving to the UK, Ireland, or Spain?

Plenty of sun the next couple of days with highs in the low-80's. Maybe some rain on Sunday. On the show today, we asked each other hypothetical questions for "Hypothetical Thursday". Brian's question for Jean was: "You're a burglar but you only steal things that slightly inconvenience the person/people you're robbing. What are you taking?" While Jean's question for Brian was: " " Office Cora also joined us just after 8am to talk about what she's up to this weekend in the 715. In the news today, the Menendez brothers are getting an early parole hearing, an update on that deadly Amazon cargo plane crash, the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association is canceling it's upcoming gubernatorial debate, a recall on Fi dog supplements, Clay Matthews reveals what was going on with those viral pictures, a weather guy gets swept away by Hurricane Lowell, and an A.I. executive quits his job and issues a warning about the dangers of the technology. Can you do simple things without any assistance? Like sewing a button? Changing a tire? Cooking rice? Changing a diaper? You might be surprised by how many people say they COULDN'T do any of those relatively easy tasks. In sports, the Brewers complete the sweep of the Cub, the Seahawks beat the Patriots on the NFL's opening night but their starting QB got injured on the first drive of the game, legendary player/coach/broadcaster Barry Melrose passed away at age 70, the feud between LSU & the SEC seems to have cooled off a bit, and Jalen Brunson is going to be hosting the season opener of SNL. We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, a TON of tickets for the upcoming " " movie have already sold, and Hallmark is adding a third movie to their "Holiday Touchdown" series...this time, it's the Bears! A beautiful dog named Wynn is charming people all over the world for being a therapy dog in hospitals in Colorado. A Marine Veteran tuned 100 years old and asked to get cards for his birthday and THOUSANDS of people came through. And an off-duty police officer was able to save multiple lives by rescuing an unconscious driver. Elsewhere in sports, the head coach of the Rutgers men's basketball team reveals he's got cancer, Dianna Russini is apparently close to getting a new job & plans on telling her side of the story when she does, and a high school football coach in #Florida gets fired after his team starts the season 0-3...getting outscored in those three games by a combined 166-0! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a blind guy who was busted for driving drunk, a Mayor that's resigning/retiring after getting caught walking around the town hall without any pants on for an extended period of time, an Ohio lawyer that tried to kill his ex-wife in a restaurant, a #FloridaMan that used a bunch of tools(including a weed wacker) to break through a shared wall, an update on the serial butt-sniffer, and a guy in South Carolina that got "intimate" with a rubber duck.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

America just officially crossed $40 trillion in national debt. Everyone's talking about the number — almost nobody's talking about what it means for your taxes, your income, and your ability to retire. This week we dig into Uncle Sam's IOU and how to build a retirement that can withstand it. The debt isn't a reason to panic. It's a reason to prepare. On this week's Money On Tap, we break down how we got here — structural deficits across every administration, roughly $100 trillion more in unfunded liabilities, and debt service now among the largest line items in the federal budget — and why the fallout runs straight through your retirement plan. We make the case that taxes are already rising in plain sight (today's rates are among the lowest in 100 years, and bracket creep is a quiet raise nobody voted on), walk through the inflation math that can leave a retiree needing nearly twice as much money over 20 years, and then get practical: the stocks that win in a high-debt world, the dividend traps to avoid, bonds versus bond funds, when an annuity is a foundation instead of a product pitch, cash that actually earns near 4%, and the debt-resistant retirement portfolio, layer by layer. What you'll learn:How we got to $40 trillion — and why the blame is thoroughly bipartisanThe numbers that matter: debt past 100% of GDP, deficits near 6% of GDP, and ~$1.9 trillion in debt serviceWhy taxes are historically low today — and how bracket creep raises them without a voteThe retiree math: 2% vs. 4% inflation over 20 years, and why it's about income, not a numberSequence of returns risk — the reason a 9% average doesn't mean an 8% withdrawalStocks for a high-debt world: low debt, strong free cash flow, moats, and sustainable dividendsDividend traps: when a high yield is a warning sign, not an opportunityBonds vs. bond funds — and why owning to maturity changes the mathWinners and losers if rates stay high, from banks and insurers to non-traded REITsAnnuities done right: guaranteed income for core expenses so the rest can rideThe debt-resistant portfolio: guaranteed income, safety, quality dividends, growth, inflation protection, and working cashPlus Money In The News:Meta reaches an $18 billion settlement with 48 states over child-safety claims — default screen-time limits includedFive smart ways to use high-yield savings accounts paying near 4% while banks average 0.38%Why the bond market may be resetting expectations about U.S. debtWant a white paper on this week's topic? Email us at info@yourmoneyontap.com and we'll send it over. Read our most recent Blog Post on this topic here: https://www.fmgwebsites.com/d772de05-9833-44e4-9676-f510f85cef74/blog/uncle-sams-iou-and-your-retirement-building-a-debt-resistant-portfolioSchedule a free consultation: https://app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaBrowse the full Money On Tap library: https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tap Contact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comSecurities and advisory services offered through Osaic Wealth, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.

Before helping anyone, confirm your own financial stability: your retirement income need, your healthcare runway, and your spouse's full agreement. Then ask whether this is a one-time emergency or a recurring pattern, and choose the form deliberately — a gift, a documented loan, a matched contribution, or a payment made directly to the vendor. Avoid funding help from retirement accounts, where taxes, early-withdrawal penalties, and lost compounding can double the cost. And if you do lend, follow the oldest advice on family money: never lend what you aren't prepared to never see again.

Ross McCoy joins, fantasy football draft recap — Comedian Ross McCoy is in studio; the guys recap their online fantasy draft (ESPN graded it an F) and lament that it wasn't done live, unlike a group of kids they saw drafting in person at a restaurant. The gray dog-poop-bag saga begins — Someone left a tied dog-poop bag in front of the studio's French doors in Baldwin Park; Dan is furious about the entitlement, identifies the bag as light gray/taupe, and vows to hunt down whoever's carrying a matching bag. Poop-bag standoff and shame tactics — Ross suggests a yard sign like ones he's seen ("the poop fairy doesn't live here"); talk turns to flyers or a Nextdoor post to publicly identify the culprit. Dan insists he'll never touch the bag himself. Would money change his mind? — Hypothetical debate over what dollar amount would get Dan to throw the bag away himself; he holds firm even at $9,000–$10,000. Concrete Mike calls in with a revenge plan — Phone-in regular Concrete Mike suggests identifying the dog owner, following them home, and leaving his own bagged waste on their porch in retaliation — "bag for a bag." What excuse would be acceptable? — The hosts debate what explanation (a genuine emergency, an apology note) might excuse the offender; conclude no amount of money would work, only a real emergency — tying into a broader gripe about declining everyday consideration. Dog poop etiquette debate — Discussion of whether bagging poop and tossing it in bushes counts as littering (Dan says yes), how to handle loose stool cleanup, and Dan noting his own dog never goes outside her own yard. "I only poop at home" — Tangent on people, including Tom's sons, who avoid public restrooms entirely. Nose-blowing vs. "snorting," and the mustache dilemma — Dan admits he's a lifelong nose-snorter, complicated by bad seasonal allergies and his mustache; considering shaving if the heat continues into a hot September. Jumbo jet flyover video at a South African rugby stadium — The guys watch and discuss a viral video of jets flying extremely close over a packed stadium through pyro smoke, debating whether the proximity is pilot skill or automated collision-avoidance technology, referencing past aviation tragedies. Tuddle (Patrick) joins via Zoom from Oak Hill — Longtime radio friend and stunt performer "Tuddle" checks in; catches up on the old Tom & Dan Airbnb (sold the remaining furniture back to the owner) and a new relationship he's in. Dating advice and "love bombing" — Talk of overthinking texts, "love bombing" vs. "love vacuuming," and ribbing Tom about his one-relationship track record. Tuddle's radio origin story: first hookup, 1999 — Tuddle recounts his producer days at The Crow in Daytona Beach, meeting a woman through an amateur strip contest at the Pink Pony, and an encounter on his program director's couch during a work trip while his bosses slept nearby. More stories from Tuddle's radio days — A hookup during a Fort Myers syndication trip (including having to inflate an air mattress by mouth) and a brief mention of a later fling with a former local news personality. Old-school radio intern/staffer culture — Nostalgia for 1990s–2000s radio, where junior staff ran errands and did off-the-books favors for hosts in exchange for airtime; Tuddle recalls an in-studio incident that got a colleague, Jimmy, suspended. Ellis Rad YouTube shoutout — Plug for Ellis Rad's YouTube channel, which archives old radio station tapes, jingles, and broadcasts. Listener voicemail: Stern reruns vs. the "best-of" model — Caller Ben ("Ben with the white hair") complains that SiriusXM's Howard Stern reruns are padded with unfunny staff-produced bits instead of continuous classic show audio. The hosts explain radio's "airtime as payment" practice for unpaid staffers, noting their own podcast benefited from similar free plugs early on. Kittens, cats, and an animal control ticket — Tuddle got an $85 ticket from Edgewater Animal Control for feeding stray cats living under his house; recounts the confrontation with the officer (a "police academy" jab may have sealed the ticket) and his plan to fight it. Dad's old-school animal stories — A string of stories about Tuddle's father dealing with yard cats, possums, and a stubborn pig when Tuddle was a kid, contrasted with how sheltered his own kids are today. Pig milk trivia — Discussion of why pigs aren't milked commercially (fast, irregular release, temperament) despite pig milk being calorie-dense; a listener named Crystal adds detail via chat that sows release milk in 15-second bursts. Tuddle wraps up — Floats producing a prerecorded segment for when the hosts are on break; mentions the Edgewater mayoral race and a political sign controversy involving a candidate named Diesel Depew. Weird Job Wednesday: NWA National Heavyweight Champion Brian Idol — Wrestler Brian Idol joins via Zoom for the recurring "Weird Job" segment; discusses growing up idolizing Hulk Hogan and later becoming friends with him and an ambassador for the Hulk Hogan Foundation. Breaking into wrestling — Idol describes the unconventional path he took (left home at 16, years of grinding) versus recommending newcomers attend a proper wrestling school, like the one he runs. Social-media fame vs. wrestling fundamentals — Compared to stand-up comedians who blow up online first; Idol says fundamentals still matter most, though pop-culture crossover can open doors. How dangerous wrestling rings really are — Idol explains most local rings are wood and steel with cheap carpet padding, not "trampolines," and describes the physical toll on wrestlers' bodies, citing Hulk Hogan's spine damage from years of leg drops. Trained by Sabu — Idol names Sabu (alongside RVD) as his primary trainer, calling him a quietly all-time-great of the business. The "fake guru" and fake-wrestler phenomenon in Tampa — Idol riffs on viral dating-app grifters and fake WWE wrestlers he's run into around Tampa/Orlando, including one who claimed to be at NXT for over a year before quietly admitting he'd been let go. NWA's TV deal and making it in the business — Idol notes the NWA's deal with Comet and upcoming placement on the Charge Network, reflecting on how small the percentage of pro wrestlers actually earning a living wage really is. A day in the life of a pro wrestler — Gym four to five days a week, frequent weekend travel for shows, and being recognized in public, like at his local Publix. Baby face vs. heel, and the title's history — Idol confirms he plays a baby face on-screen (more of a heel in real life) and discusses the National Heavyweight Championship's lineage, once held by Roddy Piper, Paul Orndorff, and Ted DiBiase, and its connection to his ring name's namesake, original champion Austin Idol. Working for Billy Corgan — Idol praises Corgan's stewardship of the NWA's legacy, describes their friendship and musical collaborations, and recalls touring as an on-stage act during Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day shows at venues including Madison Square Garden and Fenway Park. How wrestling storylines get decided — Idol compares it to a TV writers' room, with Corgan as the main creative force, and says wrestlers earn spotlight through reliability and work ethic. Character vs. real self — Idol relates to the blurred line between wrestling persona and real identity, referencing Hulk Hogan's court testimony, and says he'd choose the wrestling life over anything else despite the sacrifices. Is there a middle-class tier in wrestling? — Idol says most wrestlers are either scraping by or making real money, but he's built a sustainable middle path by also running a wrestling school and renting out rings. Plugging FCW Wrestling Academy and wrap-up — Idol plugs his wrestling school in Pinellas Park (training alongside Natalia Markova and Mike Mondo), mentions two upcoming reality shows airing on Comet, and shows off an NWA-branded lunchbox featuring his own face before signing off. Post-interview banter and sign-off — The hosts riff on Idol's confidence, thank Miguel Cologne for booking the segment, and close out with a bit about a "lobster boy and bearded woman" wedding happening near the studio on Halloween. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Halloween: A "lobster boy and bearded woman" wedding happening near the studio; the hosts jokingly consider attending. Coming soon: A new reality show featuring Brian Idol premiering on Comet (no specific date given).

In this Meaningful Money Q&A episode, Pete Matthew and Roger Weeks answer listener questions on planning for mini-retirements, changing career into financial planning, accessing pensions with a guaranteed annuity rate, and whether to take tax-free cash from a defined benefit pension. They also discuss how to manage inherited money for children approaching financial independence, including ISAs, Junior SIPPs, university costs and future house deposits. Finally, they look at saving and investing alongside the NHS Pension, including using a Stocks and Shares ISA, SIPP contributions and higher-rate tax relief. A practical UK personal finance discussion covering pensions, retirement planning, investing, student loans and long-term wealth building. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA59  07:17  Question 1 Hi guys, Financial infrastructure and policy in the UK is built around to support (and likely encourage/enforce) the "standard" life of consistently working for 40 years and then stopping altogether. State and private pensions accessible around age 60, Lifetime ISAS, compounding growth of stocks etc. For various reasons, my wife and I (both 32) don't want to do this. We are in the fortunate position where we can take months or years off at a time and plan to do this several times throughout our lives. We know this means our earning potential and growth will be lower and that we may not end up with as large a pension as we could have. But we may also end up having some sort of income until we're much older. Question: what if anything can people do with today's accounts/tax advantages/schemes to enable this type of lifestyle? Hypothetical question: what type of infrastructure could the government introduce to enable this? How about a "pension" you can take at any time up to some cap per year and only for X years in a row? Given fewer jobs now require physical use of our bodies (and hence 60 may no longer be a necessary stopping point), could we see more people "working" off and on until 70 or 80? Tom   15:36  Question 2 Hi Pete and Roger First of all, thank you for the valuable conversations you bring to listeners. I'm a 32-year-old with a strong interest in personal finance and investing, and I would describe myself as financially literate and proactive in managing my own money. I currently feel I've been underestimating my potential and would like to pivot into financial services. I'm considering self-funding qualifications such as the LP2 (Financial Services – General Route) as a starting point, followed by the RQF Level 4 Diploma in Financial Planning. Do you think starting this pathway at 32 is realistic, or have I left it too late to successfully transition into the industry? Thanks, Darren. G   19:36 Question 3 Hello Pete and Roger, Firstly, I very much enjoy listening to your podcast whilst doing my weekly walks. I currently live in Australia and will be returning to the UK in 6 months to live near my family and will be turning 55 at the same time. My question is: I have a Defined Contribution pension, valued at 70K with a GAR. I am legally required to get IFA before I can drawdown, UFPLS, lump sum etc. There appears to be an exception to this mandatory requirement if I take an annuity. Is this correct? If it is, would this also apply to a fixed term annuity? Secondly, what options do I have to access my pension if no financial advisor is keen to take me on as a client and sign the 'advice taken' form that is required by my pension provider. My provider (Royal London) has said that the advice doesn't have to be positive or negative to what I want to do, I just have to show that I at least went through the procedure. Thanks for your help. Regards Brett   27:08 Question 4 Dear Pete and Rog, Thank you so much for the wealth of wisdom you share with us all - it has helped my family towards a more secure and planned future.  I'm not an expert but as the future recipient of a few small DB pensions I have a question. You often infer Defined Benefit pensions are "solid gold", implying they should be preserved at all costs. I want to challenge your strong preference to avoid taking the 25% tax free cash (Pension Commencement Lump Sum (PCLS)). Isn't it "dangerous" to not clarify the commutation rate more explicitly?  On one hand, with a poor commutation rate isn't the member effectively "selling" inflation-linked, guaranteed income far too cheaply? On the other, with an attractive commutation, by taking the 25% tax-free cash "off the table," a member can: 1. Eliminate mortality risk: If they die early, that cash stays with the family; the DB income disappears. 2. Manage Tax Drag: Using the PCLS to bridge to state pension age can keep a retiree in the basic rate band rather than being pushed into higher rates by a full DB payout. 3. Seek Outperformance: While DB is index-linked, a well-allocated ISA can historically outperform inflation over the long term. Why do you treat the PCLS as a "loss" of income rather than a strategic "de-risking" of the pension asset? Thanks for clarifying - because I think I must be missing something. Gareth   31:55 Question 5 Hi Pete and Roger, I started listening to the podcast when I began Couch to 5K, and it's been really helpful. It also makes me feel quite virtuous, like I'm improving both my health and finances at the same time! I'd value your thoughts on managing money for a child who is approaching financial independence. I'm the trustee for my 16-year-old daughter, who inherited directly from a relative. She has £140k in total, with 42% in cash savings, 46% in investments (mainly low cost global tracker) and 12% in a junior SIPP (also in global trackers). I'm moving as much as possible into ISA wrappers annually. I don't currently plan to add further to the SIPP. She is aware that there is a "good amount" of money saved for her but not actual figures yet and it is referred to as money for a house deposit. I plan to start involving her more directly in managing it from age 17, although we already talk regularly about money and financial habits. She's academic and likely to go to university although also considering degree apprenticeships. She wants a high paying career but has no idea what career yet! A few things I'd really value your perspective on: How should I think about asset allocation? I'm not risk averse and feel like there's too much in cash but mindful that she will be in control in 2 years and may want to use some of the money in the short term, e.g. for university, car, travelling etc. Would you lean towards encouraging her to fund university costs rather than taking out a student loan if she goes, given that under the new plan around 80% are expected to repay their loans in full? At least there would be less available to fritter away or spend on a red Lamborghini! Or keep it invested and position it more clearly as a future house deposit? And finally I have an 11-year-old in the same position. Given the longer time horizon, would you do anything different now in terms of structure, investment approach, or how and when to involve them? Thanks so much — I'd really appreciate your thoughts. Beth   42:51  Question 6 Hi both, hope you're well. I am 28 , working full time in the NHS. My partner and I bought our first home just before Christmas.  I have an emergency fund in an easy access account as well as putting 10% of my salary into a S&S ISA each month which I plan to use to bridge the gap between retirement and access to my NHS Pension. I also recently moved into the 40% tax bracket and so opened a SIPP which I put another 5% of my salary into each month. Any other savings go into high yield interest accounts/ISAs.  I just wanted to ask, is there anything else I should be doing with my money or is it simply a case of keep at it now?  Thanks a lot, Joe

Dr. Beckett hypothetically and creatively explores whether age seven is really the ideal time to start collecting sports cards, reflecting on how his own strongest collecting years were ages 10–12 despite getting a first card at seven in 1956. Using an artificial ChatGPT voice to simulate a conversation with his seven-year-old self, he discusses why kids like cards (pictures, familiar player names), what they understand about stats and prices, and how a child might choose quantity over “better” cards. They talk through card-show logistics, attention span, budgeting ($10 vs. $100), safety and fairness when selling or trading, preferences for shiny designs, and the importance of not pushing kids too hard while encouraging fun, care of cards, and trying the hobby together as a family activity.   01:47 Meet Seven Year Old Me 02:30 Recognizing Players 03:19 Stats and Value 04:31 Buying and Selling 06:26 Surviving Card Shows 08:08 Growing as Collector 09:10 Allowance and Budgeting 12:30 Picking Cards Your Way 13:52 Soccer and Shiny Designs 16:12 Trading and Peer Pressure 18:10 If You Quit Collecting 20:00 Family Hobby Philosophy

I think today's sinus issue is worse than yesterdays. Granted…I'm not coughing as much as I was and I'm also able to breathe through my nostrils finally. But the drainage going on from my nose is a real problem this morning. I'm constantly blowing my nose and the tickling sensation in the upper part of my right nostril is causing my eye to constantly water…and it makes me feel like I have to sneeze every few seconds. What a mess. But enough about my problems! It's Hypothetical Thursday so we asked each other some questions. Jean asked me: "If you could bring back one brand, restaurant or store that no longer exists...what would it be?" And my question for Jean was: "Being that it's National Radio Day, what's your dream radio job...and what's the craziest thing you've ever done in radio?" Office Cora also joined us to talk about what she's up to this weekend in the 715…and she also had a hypothetical question for us: "If you had to get rid of beef, pork, poultry, or seafood for the rest of your life...which would you choose?" IN the news this morning, the DEA has joined the investigation into the death of Hayden Panetierre, a police helicopter in Pennsylvania crashes into a small plane and kills one person, the creepy guy in PA wearing a mask & chasing after people gets confronted by someone, more human remains are being found at Lake Mead due to the drought, possible changes to Facebook & Instagram if Meta loses a major lawsuit, and a fake babysitter in Atlanta kidnaps some children.

We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, a documentary about Dane Cook's half-brother who stole millions from the actor/comedian is coming out. A Christian death metal band is suing Netflix because of K-Pop Demon Hunters. David Krumholtz is apparently quitting Hollywood. And even though he's been dead for awhile now, Val Kilmer is going to be in an upcoming movie…thanks to A.I. Great story about a boyfriend who lied to his girlfriend for months about training for a half-marathon. Plus, another marathon story involving a father with lung cancer and how his sons helped him compete in a recent 5k. And have you heard about the water-skiing lake in a cornfield in Wisconsin? Pretty interesting stuff. A music promoter recently wondered what it would take for Gen-X people to start coming back out for concerts. And a comedian responded with some solid answers. Elsewhere in sports, Azzi Fudd's rookie season is over due to an injury, Pat McAfee is going to be a part of ESPN's Monday Night Football countdown show, and a bunch of coaches at Nathan Hale High School in West Allis have either been put on leave or resigned.

- Sonny Styles Joins the Show - Which Commanders player would you add to a HS football team right now?

This week, Sonia and Jessica begin with the highest form of female affirmation: “You look like a MILF.” Naturally, this leads to an aggressive midday smoky eye critique, a possible podcast rebrand, and a colony of ants apparently stealing false eyelashes for drag night. Because it is somehow already basically Halloween, the moms move into costume planning, pumpkin-spice urgency and Jessica's deep resistance to Hayden entering his Hulk era. Jessica also revisits Power Rangers, only to discover that millennial nostalgia has limits. Then back-to-school season arrives with the energy of a corporate audit. Sonia shares updates on the family behavior board, including household rules, structured 'consequences', ten-minute resets and the dream of eventually becoming a Gilmore Girls mother-daughter duo—ideally with boundaries, emotional regulation and significantly less caffeine dependency. The episode also includes a medical investigation into Sonia's ice chewing. From there, things become deeply graceful as Sonia recounts going ass-over-teakettle during a beach photo shoot, while Jessica reveals that she has fallen into enough pools for the pattern to deserve scientific study. Finally, Jessica confronts her greatest weakness: overcommitting. After casually mentioning that she works remotely and lives near Hayden's school, she is immediately identified as volunteer material and accidentally agrees to help care for the school's animals.

Spooky this morning with a bunch of fog settling in. Should warm up later and be rather nice. Look for some showers & possible thunderstorms tomorrow night, however. It's Hypothetical Thursday…where we ask each other hypothetical questions. Jean went first this morning and her question for Brian was: " " Brian's question for Jean was: "If you could get $50,000 in cash for every inch of height you lose…how tall would you be?" Office Cora also joined us just after 8am to let us know what she's up to in the 715 this weekend. And we also sang "Happy Birthday" to her as she celebrated her b-day earlier this week. In the news this morning, an update on the Nolan Wells case, a recall on jalapenos, the latest on Perez Hilton, a non-profit in Wisconsin bails out a bunch of the Madison protestors, and have you seen the Jiu Jitsu nurse???

A guy who survived a shark attack in the Bahamas is welcomed home by his friends & neighbors, and a 64 year-old father of five just graduated nursing school after attending alongside his son! Do you know when the average person reaches PEAK happiness??? It's apparently age 47. Elsewhere in sports, LIV golf apparently has new funding, Justin Herbert & Madison Beer can't keep their hands off each other at Chargers practice, and the Akron Zips have a unique contest for their season ticket holders. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who tried to kill a teenager because of a lobster diving spot, a doorbell camera that captured a 15 year-old kid in a clown costume who's accused of murder, a poster created by A.I. wins a contest at the Ohio State Fair and people are PISSED, a guy on a rollercoaster gets hit in the face with a shoe, a truck hauling a porta-potty leaks TP all over the highway, and a mom in Texas who left her kids at home to drive to her boyfriends house.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
