We're counting down the five biggest War of the Roses of 2025! These Roses are some of the most hilarious, talked about, or interesting Roses of 2025 and deserve being honored with another go-around! The THIRD biggest War of the Roses featured Madison and Griffin who had been dating for about eight months after first meeting each other in college. Madison tells us that she and Griffin were in the same friend circle and finally started dating last year. For the most part, Madison says things have been great, but last Thursday she noticed that someone used her unopened box of Tampons she left at Griffin’s place. Madison also saw that someone left a Snickers wrapper in the bathroom even though Griffin is allergic. At the same time, Madison wanted to see what was going on so she staked out at Griffin’s place and saw his coworker Amber walked into his place even though Griffin never mentioned Amber coming over. Find out what‘s really going on in this War of the Roses! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Make 2026 Your Best RV Year Ever We want to invite you to join us inside the RV Lifestyle Community at RVCommunity.com. Now, yes, it is a subscription. And that is exactly why it works. No ads.No spam.No algorithms deciding what you see.No influencers pushing the latest gadget you do not need.

Because the RV lifestyle is not just about the rig you drive or the places you go.

RV CONVERSATION OF THE WEEK - The RV Accident That Changed Everything Andy and Joanne Larrimore are longtime RVers who, earlier this year, set out on what was supposed to be their biggest adventure yet. They packed up their Class A, hooked up their toad, and rolled out of southeast Massachusetts bound for Florida. The trip started exactly the way RV dreams are supposed to start, sunshine, family time, and a memorable stop at Disney with loved ones in Orlando. But a couple of weeks in, everything changed. Andy came down with a serious upper respiratory infection. Then word came that Joanne's mom, who was in a nursing home, was not doing well. They made the tough decision to cut the trip short and head back north. Somewhere in South Carolina, the unthinkable happened. Andy blacked out behind the wheel, and their rig crashed. Both Andy and Joanne were med-lifted separately to the hospital. They suffered serious injuries, and the road to recovery has not been easy. Thankfully, they are both doing much better today. And here is the part of their story that really matters, they are not done with the RV lifestyle. The Larrimores have chosen to share what they went through, what they learned, and the lessons that could help every one of us travel safer and smarter. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, preparedness, and why even life-changing setbacks do not have to mean the end of the road.

RV NEWS OF THE WEEK Forget Candy Bars—This Iowa Mall Vending Machine Dispenses Starlink So we've heard of getting a can of soda or maybe a Snickers bar from a vending machine, but a Starlink system?? Yet that is exactly what happened in Iowa! A self-serve vending machine quietly appeared at a shopping mall's food court in Des Moines. It is designed to dispense a standard Starlink dish and accessories, including mounts and the Wi-Fi router. Word is that more are coming. No More Reservations: Glacier National Park Rethinks Summer Access This is a big story for fans of Glacier National Park… Reservations will NOT be needed at Glacier for the summer of 2026. Why, because the National Parks Service says the system did not work as planned. The reservation system, started four years ago, was supposed to cut down on long afternoon lines by requiring people to register to enter between 7 am and 4 pm. What happened is mid-day traffic was much better, but the early morning crowds trying to beat the registration time became problematic, causing new issues. So now the popular park is doing away with reservations altogether. Trump on the 2026 Park Pass? Lawsuit Says Not So Fast Okay… we try to steer away from politics but this is a story we couldn't ignore. An environmental group is suing to remove President Donald Trump's picture from the 2026 National Park Service's Annual Pass. The 2026 Annual Pass features a picture of President George Washington and President Trump and the number 250 for the country's 250th birthday. The Center for Biological Diversity's lawsuit claims the design violates a law that requires the America the Beautiful pass to feature a photo taken on public lands that won an annual photo contest. The Secretary of the Interior says the photo winner will be on the pass for foreign visitors, while Trump's picture will be on the one for U.S. residents. Stay tuned. Only in Gatlinburg: Black Bear Steals the Show at Christmas Parade Did you hear about what happened as crowds gathered to watch the Gatlinburg Fantasy of Lights 50th Annual Christmas Parade last week? A lone black bear meandered in. The black bear casually cut through the crowds and walked down the parade route for a bit, as stunned onlookers sat along the curb watching in disbelief. Some visitors captured video - after all, this is not something you see every day! Buc-ee's Goes Big Again: 17 New Mega Stops on the Way The ultimate road-trip stop, Buc-ee's, is planning to open 17 new locations across the country over the next few years.

Eight more stops are planned for 2027, five for 2028, and one for 2031.

Is this a fuse or breaker issue? Open to suggestions to fix the problem. RV connected to shore power. ANSWER: This happens a lot with RVs. It's almost always a tripped GFI plug. On the Unity, I believe it's on the side of the passenger pass-through storage area or in the bathroom. Just push in the little recessed switch between the plugs and you'll be good. QUESTION: From Larry: Why are Class B campervans so expensive? The one we want is almost $250,000. I can get a Class A for that, or a luxury fifth wheel and a brand new heavy-duty truck. I don't get it. Campervans are small. ANSWER: You're absolutely right to be scratching your head at those price tags. When you see a campervan that's basically built on a cargo van chassis hitting a quarter million dollars, it feels ridiculous, especially when you could roll into a dealership and drive out with a gorgeous 40-foot Class A motorhome for the same money. Or like you said, snag a top-of-the-line fifth wheel and a fully loaded F-350 and still have cash left over. Here's the deal: you're paying a massive premium for engineering magic in a tiny space. Think about it: those Class B builders are cramming a full bathroom with a real shower, a kitchen with actual counter space, sleeping accommodations, storage, and all your systems (electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling) into what's essentially a walk-in closet on wheels. That level of space efficiency doesn't come cheap. The other factor? Volume. The big RV manufacturers are pumping out hundreds or thousands of Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels every year. They've got economies of scale working for them. Meanwhile, Class B builders are producing these things in much smaller numbers, often with semi-custom features and higher-end components. You're not getting the mass-production discount. Plus, that Mercedes, Ford Transit or RAM ProMaster base chassis aren't exactly cheap to begin with, and then you're adding premium materials because everything has to be lightweight and compact. Those fancy European-style cabinets, that space-saving toilet, that innovative bed system: it all costs more than the standard RV stuff. And let's be honest, there's a lifestyle tax baked in too. Class B campervans became the hot ticket for a certain “van life” demographic who wants to look like they're just driving a cool van while secretly having all the amenities. That "stealth camping" capability and the ability to fit in a regular parking spot? The market will bear a premium price for those benefits. Does it make financial sense?

The January 6 pipe bomber is finally under arrest—but the questions are exploding! Hear the stunning details of how the Trump DOJ and FBI, relying on "good shoe leather" internal work, connected the dots using cell phone tracking, credit card receipts for bomb-making materials, and enhanced footage. Why did the prior administration allegedly "sit on evidence," ignoring a case that seemed straightforward, while simultaneously prosecuting grandmothers for buying Snickers bars near the Capitol? Rita also tackles the controversy surrounding CNN's Jake Tapper, who allegedly went out of his way to describe the suspect, Brian Cole Jr., as a "white man," despite photos suggesting otherwise, fueling accusations that the bomber's race didn't "fit the narrative".

In this episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, we're diving into one of the most misunderstood parts of the coaching journey — client resistance. And not just how to spot it, but how to coach through it without shrinking, people-pleasing, over-teaching, or “fixing” your clients just to feel better.Because here's the truth most coaches never fully understand:Resistance isn't a sign something is going wrong.It's a sign transformation has begun.Inside this episode, I'm breaking down:Why every human brain experiences resistance — even in the best coaching environments Why your job is NOT to “rescue” clients from discomfortHow your own emotional state determines whether you coach powerfully or retreatThe real reason clients often ask for strategies… and why strategies alone never create sustainable resultsThe danger of “Snickers coaching” — when you soothe the discomfort instead of helping the client genuinely transformThe framework I use to diagnose where resistance is truly coming from (and 99% of the time, it's deeper than strategy)Then, I introduce one of the most important tools we teach inside The Doctor Coach School™: The Resistance Funnel™A four-layer model that reveals:the level at which clients present their issuethe REAL level the problem lives inhow to coach to the root instead of just the symptomsBecause coaching is not “giving someone better strategies.”Coaching is guiding someone through their own internal blocks — even when it triggers discomfort on both sides.This episode is an invitation to:✨ Stop rushing to “fix”✨ Stop making resistance mean something went wrong✨ Build the emotional capacity to sit with a client's discomfort✨ Coach at the level where transformation really happensWhen you do that, everything changes — the results your clients create, your confidence as a coach, and even how your business grows.
10 years of distillation -- what a milestone for Virginia Distillery Company and for American Single Malt writ large! Joshua and Jason discuss these 10 years but talk, too, about their relationship with the company that goes back 15+ years ago, before the distillery started producing their own spirits. The duo also taste through VDC's new Gingerbread Stout Cask Matured release. Add to this, Joshua discovers that there's a difference between a "Snickerdoodle" cookie and a "Snickers" cookie, which he had been calling, in his head, a "Snickerdoodle" because it actually resembles a Snickers bar. It gets very controversial, people. The good news is, Joshua has shared his in-house "Hatton's-Snickers-Doodle" recipe below which is *delicious*. See below, and try it at home! We'd love to hear your thoughts! Hatton's Snickers-Doodles: 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened) 1 cup Brown Sugar (tightly packed) 1/2 cup Sugar 2 large Eggs 1 teaspoon Vanilla 2 1/4 cups Flour 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda 1 teaspoon Salt 2 cups Torrone Nougut (finely chopped) 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips Method Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy and pale yellow in color. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips and Torrone Nougat. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to become a light golden color. Let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before removing from the baking sheet. Put a cookie in your mouth and eat it. Repeat. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

Guest: Alex TomoffWhen you think of weather and meteorology, you probably picture storm chasers, satellites, or your local forecast. But what about chocolate? At Mars, Inc. — the company behind favorites like M&M's and Snickers — weather isn't just background noise, it's a critical part of the business. From the cocoa fields that depend on rainfall, to the sugar supply impacted by drought, to the logistics of getting chocolate safely from factory to shelf, weather touches every step. And standing at that intersection is today's guest: Alex Tomoff, the meteorologist of Mars, Inc.

Recorded live at the Illinois Art Education Association Conference, Tim Bogatz and Amanda Heyn dive into the November Mailbag to answer the audience's best questions! They tackle how to avoid the internet rabbit hole when planning lessons, ways to design meaningful projects with very limited class time, and how to help middle schoolers generate their own ideas through scaffolding, choice within boundaries, and celebration of creative risk-taking. Along the way, they connect these topics back to the power of community—online and in person—and even weigh in on the great Halloween candy debate (Snickers? Baby Ruth? Smarties…really?). It's an energetic, audience-driven episode filled with important discussions and concrete strategies you can use in your classroom immediately.

If anyone knows how to host a cozy, joyful Thanksgiving dinner, it's my friend Leah Brink. She's been welcoming anywhere from 10 to 29 family and friends around her tables for the past 15 years. Her holiday spreads could be straight out of Better Homes & Gardens or Martha Stewart Living, yet her heart for hospitality is all about warmth, gratitude and joy.In this cozy and practical episode of Funeral Potatoes & Wool Mittens, Leah shares how she plans for Thanksgiving weeks (and even months) ahead—from scheduling her PTO and deep cleaning her home to baking desserts for the freezer. She talks about making her table welcoming with a flower centerpiece from Shari at Hand Tied Floral Boutique in Brookings, South Dakota, setting the mood with simmering cinnamon and cloves on the stove, and playing her favorite soft jazz and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown soundtrack in the background.We also dive into the heart of the meal—homemade gravy. Leah walks us through her step-by-step approach to making perfect gravy every time, plus her secret to a juicy, flavorful turkey: a 24-hour brine. You'll hear about her signature dishes like mashed potatoes and gravy, Red Lobster-style Cheddar Bay Biscuits from scratch, and her must-have baked mac and cheese.Leah also shares her family recipes, including:• Her mom's creamy fudge• Her grandma's ginger snaps• Her stepmom's Snickers bars• Her cozy beer cheese soup• And a link to festive cranberry Brie bitesGet each recipe at https://randomsweets.com/thanksgiving-hosting-and-homemade-gravy-with-leah-brink/, along with Leah's hosting and gravy-making tips—including using a Thanksgiving day “cooking template,” how she journals notes for next year, and why she believes “prep equals confidence.”So, this Thanksgiving, if you're the one making gravy, bring someone into the kitchen to learn alongside you. Or, if you're eager to learn, step up and take notes—you'll be grateful you did next year.I hope you pick up a few new ideas and feel a little more confident — and maybe even excited — about hosting Thanksgiving this year. Big thanks to my friend, Leah Brink, for sharing her warmth and wisdom around the table.

Before we were spooky cinephiles, we were sugar-starved gremlins in plastic masks that smelled like burning tires. Childhood Halloween was pure chaos: sprinting across lawns, breathing through a pinhole mask, and trying not to barf after inhaling three mini Snickers in a row. Then came teenage Halloween - suddenly we were “too cool” for trick-or-treating, yet somehow still roaming the streets, sneaking into haunted houses, and ending up at a bonfire wearing eyeliner we pretended wasn't eyeliner. Now as adults, we pour way too much effort into costumes, buy candy no kids ever show up for, and stay up way past our bedtime watching movies we used to have to sneak. Turns out we never outgrew Halloween - we just swapped the plastic fangs for spirit gum and the pillowcase for a tote bag with bats on it.
Felder Fridays are usually a borderline off-the-rails production, but you tack on Halloween plus a trio of rad dads who are all prepping for a fun night with the family and you arrive at today's program. Lots going on with the episode today; Felder Five gets you ready for the week ten slate, Tripp and Hartzell go head-to-head with picks, 'That's my Dog' returns after some baaaad beats a week ago, plus some Halloween plans and costume reveals. It's a bad day to be a Snickers bar!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Trick or treat, ya bunch of Halloweenies! It's All Hallow's Eve, the moon is high, and the time has come for the annual Grave Plot Podcast Halloween episode! Put on your costume and grab your pumpkin bucket as we drop in a sweet Real World Horror story featuring mysterious cattle mutilation, plus Horror Business goodies including a future Halloween movie from the maker of Green Room, Minnie Mouse joining the slasher movie fun, and a "reverse-narrative folk horror" film described as "Wicker Man meets Memento." We also examine the status of the Blade reboot and discuss the next project for Millie Bobby Brown. For our film reviews, we let our Grave Diggers over on Patreon pick two movies based on tonight's holiday. They chose the horror-comedy Murder Party as well as the 80s... classic? Hack-O-Lantern. So make sure to check your candy because that Snickers bar may be filled with a brand new Halloween episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!
The guys kick things off with some hilarious memories about House of Pain's Jump Around and how it became the ultimate party anthem at college house parties and even makes entire stadiums literally shake at University of Wisconsin football gamesHalloween candy showdown gets real as the crew debates their favorites from Snickers and Reese's to the controversial Almond Joy while Colton defends his love of coconut in everything including coconut water which leads to some serious trash talk about candy corn being the worst Halloween candy ever inventedJess shares an awesome story about how his mom used to make homemade Reese's style peanut butter bars back in the 80s at school lunch which sparked his lifelong obsession with the perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolateThe conversation takes a turn into shop safety territory as the hosts get serious about woodworking accidents and share their personal experiences with close calls in the workshop including table saw incidents and the importance of always knowing where your emergency supplies are locatedRoss drops some incredible knowledge about keeping hockey tape in the shop as an essential first aid tool because it stretches well and you can apply it with one hand if you get injured plus you can rip it with your teeth which makes it way better than regular athletic tape for emergenciesThe crew talks about proper first aid kit placement in your workshop and why your eye wash station needs to be somewhere you could find with your eyes closed because when accidents happen you need immediate access to emergency supplies without climbing ladders or searching aroundJess gets real about infection being a massive concern in woodworking shops because even though your shop might look clean it is always dirty and even a minor cut can become a serious problem if not treated properly with disinfectant immediatelyThey discuss how clean cuts from table saws are actually better for reattachment surgery compared to other types of shop injuries but the real danger comes from tripping hazards impalement risks and head injuries from cast iron equipment or falling while carrying heavy cabinetsThe guys share stories about job site safety including why rebar needs those little orange caps and how Jess nearly got impaled by plumbing pipes sticking out of an epoxy floor that blended in perfectly with the clouds design which could have been a final destination momentEveryone agrees that shop accidents are not a matter of if but when so the most important thing is to slow down no matter what deadline you are facing because rushing in the workshop is when people get hurt and no project is worth losing a finger or worse
We dove headfirst into a sugar coma and called it a conversation. We covered everything—music, Halloween, and candy—basically the holy trinity of chaos. We started off pretending to be intellectuals discussing the “accessibility of musical instruments,” which quickly devolved into us arguing about who still owns a recorder and why. Then we slid into Halloween like adults who still think pillowcases make the best candy bags. We reminisced about trick-or-treating, back when we had functioning knees and strangers weren’t handing out toothpaste. We waxed poetic about decorations—because nothing says “festive spirit” like accidentally impaling yourself on a plastic tombstone in the yard. Of course, we analyzed candy with the seriousness of food critics. We debated hard candy versus gummy like philosophers who’ve clearly lost control of their lives, and then somehow invented the idea of a “chocolate apocalypse,” where everyone’s just bartering for Snickers. Naturally, we ended up bragging about our old Halloween costumes—because nothing says confidence like admitting we once wore a trash bag and called it a “grim reaper cloak.” We even wandered into haunted houses and Judgment Houses, which, honestly, felt a little too real. Turns out we like being terrified, as long as it’s in a controlled environment with snacks.

Probably. Here is part one of this mess.[ Liam the Monster Hunter | 29:27 ] - "Escape From Halloween Forest II" - Here is the second part of this "story".

What the F am I even talking about at this point? I probably need to get more sleep if I'm going to type a bunch of sh*t. Why is there a kitty butthole in the word "sh*t"? There it is again!. What!? Are we children or something? Does the asterisk protect us from something? Evil thoughts? The letter "I"? Thank f*ck for the kitty butthole to help my dumb brain. F*ck, there it is again! And again!

Grab a mini Snickers (and maybe something stronger than apple cider) because this is Halloween, Big Little Feelings style.
Brands don't live in campaigns… they live in memory. In this episode of Marketing Trends, Ulli Appelbaum, Founder & CSO of First The Trousers Then The Shoes, joins Stephanie Postles to unpack how brand associations and mental availability determine what people choose long after the ad ends. From Geico's 15%, Snickers' hunger fix, and Nike's evolution of “Just Do It,” to Salesforce's AI rebrand and Harley-Davidson's Jumpstart, Ulli reveals why the brands that last are the ones that refresh old memories instead of chasing new fads.

Comedian Matt Stanton joins the show to rank every NFL team by what Halloween candy they'd hand out, and the results are absolute chaos
0:00 - Last night, the Avs exorcised the Devils by a score of 8-4! The power of the Avs compells you! 4 of those goals came from the Power Play. Aside from a brutal 4 minute stretch that let New Jersey sneak back into the game, it was a completely dominant performance we've been waiting to see from this team. 14:23 - Someone asked Deion if there's a quick fix to CU's issues. Coach Prime then went on a monologue about how everyone wants everything instantly in today's society and no one has any patience anymore. He managed to incorporate "BBL" and "thick as a Snickers" into his quote. Impressive. How much patience should we have for Deion and CU? Because no one has a longer leash in the college football world than Coach Prime, as it stands right now.28:36 - We were all impressed by (about 90% of) last night's Avalanche game. What did Head Coach Jared Bednar think of his squad's performance?
Headlines and 12th Man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks face the Washington Commanders on Sunday night; could this be the last time we see Bobby Wagner going against the Hawks? :30- We are doubling up on fact or fiction with some odds on Candy favorites and an actual Fact or Fiction pick and Ashley loves a home underdog! :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast! The Mariners payroll already has $130-$135 million committed to their roster. The payroll-friendly zone, where they want to start the offseason, so that gives us about $30-$35 million to work with, so what are priorities? Josh Naylor should take up about $20 million, what about Polanco? Between those two, that could eat up the $30 ish million. Now, if it's not Naylor and Polanco, then who?

Hey, gang! Adrian here. Ashley's busy checking our Halloween candy at the behest of G.U.A.P.A. and didn't have time to do a write-up. Apparently she's requesting all of the fun-size Snickers bars. Who knew rogue computer programs ate chocolate? News to me! Anyway, this was a fun episode to record. We decided to share stories of past Spooky Season wackiness including being radicalized by trick-or-treating, party-going woes and we weigh in on whether or not primetime television created the concept of Mischief Night.
Halloween's got enough monsters. Your relationship with candy shouldn't be one of them. In this episode, we dive broom first into the sugar fueled chaos of Halloween week to talk about how not to turn candy into a moral crisis. From ditching the “how many burpees for a Snickers” mindset to reclaiming candy as just, well, candy, we are breaking the spell of guilt, shame, and “I'll start over Monday” energy once and for all. This is your permission slip to enjoy the night, no strings attached. We also share some clever trends in this episode like Switch Witch and the Purple Pumpkin Project. Heard of them? Have a listen. (00:01:12) Welcome to the podcast and some throwbacks to the early days at CVG HQ.(00:08:00) Five years later our message hasn't changed.(00:16:10) Why candy doesn't make you “bad,” and how to drop the moral language around food.(00:18:46) No more “earn your treats” fitness messaging and Kelsea's pregame plan.(00:21:45) Rachael's Halloween math.

What's scarier than a haunted house? Looking at your retirement account after ignoring it for five years. Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Doug welcome back Chuck Jaffe (Money Life with Chuck Jaffe) for his legendary annual Halloween visit—and this year, he's bringing two treats to the basement. First up: Chuck's Halloween Money Game for kids. Picture this: trick-or-treaters can take one piece of candy and walk away... or they can play a game where they might win more candy, actual money, or lose it all. It's economics wrapped in a Snickers bar. Chuck breaks down how each choice teaches kids (and parents) about risk, reward, delayed gratification, and why sometimes the safe bet is actually the smart bet. If you've got kids—or just want a genius way to gamify money lessons—you'll want to steal this. Then things get spooky. Real Stackers share their most bone-chilling financial horror stories: the credit union error that nearly cost someone their house, the coworker's "advice" that turned into a disaster, and the procrastination that haunted someone for years. These aren't fictional frights—they're real mistakes that real people are still recovering from. And every story comes with the lesson that could've prevented it. Plus: Doug's trivia takes a Halloween turn (naturally), and Joe and OG debate whether government incentives are more trick or treat. What You'll Walk Away With: Chuck Jaffe's brilliant Halloween Money Game—how to teach kids about risk, reward, and smart decisions using candy The economic principles hiding in every trick-or-treat choice (and how to explain them without killing the fun) Real Stacker horror stories: the financial mistakes that haunt people for years The red flags that could save you from starring in your own money nightmare Why the scariest financial advice often comes from people who mean well This Episode Is For You If: You want a creative way to teach kids about money that doesn't involve a boring lecture You've ever made a financial decision you wish you could take back You want to learn from other people's mistakes instead of making them all yourself You've got a money skeleton in your closet and want to know you're not the only one FULL SHOW NOTES: https://stackingbenjamins.com/frightening-halloween-stories-with-chuck-jaffe-1753 Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201 Enjoy!

Send us a textA weekend full of music and family sets the stage for a bright, candid tour through Halloween as it really happens: costumes that may not arrive, kids sprinting between porches, and parents juggling logistics with a smile. We kick off with the pure joy of a Paul McCartney concert—ukulele tributes, Lennon harmonies, and the kind of encore that sticks with you—before pivoting to birthday games, school calendars, and the chaotic charm of spooky season.From there we dive into the strange lure of dirty sodas, balancing curiosity with common sense, and land on an actually useful hack: an AI-powered Lego sorting service that turns mixed bricks back into buildable sets. We test Aldi's “Crustless” PB&J as a surprisingly solid Uncrustables dupe, talk candy economics, and share simple systems that keep the sugar rush from swallowing the week—think gallon bags, donations to schools or troops, and smart swaps for diabetic needs.We pull the camera back to explore Halloween's roots, from Celtic Samhain and soul cakes to mumming, Guy Fawkes Night, and the postwar boom that made trick-or-treating a kid-first ritual. Then we get tactical: apartment-building routes for bad weather, safety rules for new drivers, and why putting Halloween on a Friday would save teachers, parents, and sleep. It's warm, practical, a little nerdy, and fully committed to the neighborhood magic that makes this night feel like a tiny, glowing holiday in the middle of autumn.If you loved this conversation, follow the show, share it with a friend who's planning costumes at 11 p.m., and leave a quick review with your best candy trade tip.Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Send us a textThe only thing more scary than Halloween is a bunch of unsupervised kids in 1978, high on sugar, wreaking havoc on suburbia. This time the boys wax nostalgic on the Halloween experience in the 70s and 80s. From horrible Woolworth's boxed costumes to those miserable clods that handed out pennies instead of candy to trick or treaters, we're covering it all. If you ever filled a pillowcase full of peanut butter taffy twists and micro Snickers, this is the podcast for you. We also give our best strategies for TP'ing those "non-compliant" houses. Popcorn balls? Really?
Have you noticed that celebrities don't use earbuds anymore? No? Well Joe has and needless to say there's a conspiracy behind it.Also this week they get to imagine what a bus would say if it could talk (farts get mentioned naturually)and we accidentally stumble upon a previously unexplored side to 'public transport' Darren. The animal attraction to lads wearing Snickers is investigated and it's painfully obvious Darren is living in serious denial.

What happened?IN THIS EPISODE: The night is coming. Porch lights and decorations won't change what moves through the darkness on October 31st. Every plastic skeleton dangling from a suburban tree, every polyester witch costume hanging in a store window, every carved pumpkin glowing on a doorstep - they're echoes of something that began long before any of us were born, something older and more terrifying than most people realize.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Lead-In00:02:44.639 = Show Open00:04:00.391 = Part One: The Night Between Worlds00:19:16.974 = ***Part Two: The Great Candy Panic00:45:54.099 = ***Part Three: Hollywood's Dark Magic01:06:40.243 = ***Part Four: Digital Ghosts01:27:35.158 = Part Five: American Monsters01:33:53.550 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakPRINT VERSION to READ or SHARE (Includes Resources):https://weirddarkness.com/HalloweensHeinousHistory=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

In economics, a market is a place (even virtual) where buyers and sellers meet to exchange goods or services. Economists love markets. It's like all of our supply and demand graphs have come to life. Almost everything you buy goes through some sort of marketplace—your cup of coffee came from trading in the bean markets. Your spouse might have come from the dating marketplace on the apps. Even kids will tell you one Snickers is worth at least two Twix.But sometimes, as we'll see today, markets can go terribly wrong; greed can run out of control; lives can be at risk. That's when the government often steps in and gives the market a little nudge to work better. Today's episode: Market Design.The series is hosted by Robert Smith and produced by Eric Mennel.
