Bobby Rackleff chronicles his wild adventures as a touring comedian in this honest, hilarious episode that perfectly captures the beautiful chaos of life on the road. From accidentally being marked as needing special assistance at the airport (despite having never requested it) to the nightmarish experience of staying in a Travel Lodge smoking room that felt haunted by the souls of previous occupants, Bobby's travel misadventures will have you laughing and cringing in equal measure.The episode shines brightest when Bobby recounts his time in New York City, his favorite place in the world, where he spent quality time with friends Carly Aquilino and others. Despite getting only an hour of sleep after talking until 5 AM, the joy of these connections fuels his comedy. With refreshing candor, Bobby discusses the financial realities of being a working comic—how the constant need to save money leads to questionable hotel choices, and how sometimes splurging an extra $50 for comfort is worth it for your mental health and performance quality.Whether describing his broken three-wheeled luggage, getting bitten by a "nice but also mean" cat, or his momentary existential crisis upon meeting identical twins (one of whom was a former pastor), Bobby's storytelling perfectly balances vulnerability with laugh-out-loud observations. His experiences wandering through malls and discovering that Spencer Gifts somehow still exists taps into a delightful nostalgia that many listeners will relate to.Ready for more Bobby? Catch him on tour with Cactus Tate in Florida, Salt Lake City, and various California venues through May. Support the show on Patreon for exclusive bonus content starting at just $1 monthly and experience the beautiful, chaotic life of a comedian on the rise!

There is a saying amongst Star Wars fans that grew up in the 80's and they pass down this legend to future Star Wars generations, this saying was, The Dark Times. The time where the craze for Star Wars retreated into the abyss, nowhere to be found but only in the dark corners of Spencer Gifts and Hallmark stores... Star Wars was regrouping to emerge back into the spotlight as powerful as ever! These were known as the Dark Times, from 1985-1995. Let's explore how the fandom needed these times to really grasp the tornado of what Star Wars had brought, to only release a powerhouse fanbase into the world!!!

In this episode of Beyond the Legal Limit, Jeffrey Lichtman takes a trip down memory lane, recounting his teenage years during the Iran hostage crisis and his bold fashion choices at Spencer Gifts. Reflecting on his long-standing frustration with the stagnant state of world affairs, Jeff vents about the repetitive and disheartening news cycle that seems to never improve since his days on New York City talk radio.Shifting gears, Jeff dives into a compelling murder case he's currently handling in Queens, NY. A woman falls to her death from a sixth-floor apartment, and her boyfriend stands accused of murder. Jeff outlines the case's core question: was it suicide or foul play? A trial awaits.The episode also tackles the recent Trump-Biden debate. Despite his aversion to Trump, Jeff expresses his desperation, suggesting he'd crawl over glass to vote for Trump, as Biden is barely alive. Jeff lambasts the current administration which is doing all that it can the obvious fact that Biden is not fit for office. And a vote for Biden is essentially a vote for his far-left advisors, who are clearly the ones in charge and who have gotten us into this global mess.

Let's go to the mall! But one specific mall that isn't there anymore! (Well, it's sort of still there, but not really.) We're joined by Gleaming the Tube's Kevin Cafferty to look back on the Lincoln Mall in Lincoln, Rhode Island (frighteningly close to Woonsocket). It wasn't the biggest mall, it wasn't the best mall, but it was our mall. And our Lincoln Mall memories include: Waldenbooks, our primary source of X-Men comics, Bloom County collections, and Tolkien; sketchy sausage samples at Hickory Farms; failed attempts to meet girls at the movies; the freaky pet store; the inexplicable organ store; the restaurant no one went to (Roast House); the restaurant everyone went to, because there were two of them in the same mall (Papa Gino's); the neverending weirdness of Spencer Gifts; and the glory of the Dream Machine video arcade. Also: Andre the Giant eating spaghetti! The sticker girl phenomenon! Our first comic book shop experiences! Our first dishwashing experiences! Record store employees with attitudes! Randy the Talking Reindeer! The Challenge of the Checkers Champion! A mall visit from Spider-Man! A ring of car stereo thieves! Rhode Island's own John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band! And yikes, so much more... Even if you never visited the Lincoln Mall, we know there's a mall or two in your past, so you can relate. In a way, we're all still lost among the overflowing bins of cheap junk at Kay Bee Toys. Kevin's podcast about movies with skateboarding, Gleaming the Tube! And our regular links...

She decided hacky sack was a great option. This led to her revisiting all of the mall stores of her youth (Spencer Gifts, Hot Topic, Ragstock...).

Lauren Miele is Founder and CEO of KushKards, the first cannabis greeting card where “one can strike a match and light what is attached.” Standard greeting cards lacked the form and function, so Miele created a niche market of innovative cannabis gifting for young professionals like herself looking for “the perfect gift with a lift.” Miele quickly grew KushKards into a national brand — KushKards's just won Best New Product in the Lifestyle Category at The National Stationery Show in 2022, and to date is sold in over 4,000 retail locations including Spencer Gifts, Hustler Hollywood, Museum of Sex and Planet 13 — a cannabis gifting staple of dispensaries, smoke shops, adult stores, stationery + gift shops, record stores, mall kiosks, and more. ====================== About Cannabinoid Connect Cannabis podcast about news, policies, tech trends, social justice, investing, cultivation, and the plant's environmental, economic and medicinal benefits.

Show Notes Episode 352: The Malls Are All Empty Now This week Host Dave Bledsoe has his Mom and Dad drop him off at the mall, and then runs across the parking lot to get drunk in the Applebees. (Dave: still disappointing his parents at 52!) On the show this week, we put on our parachute pants, zip up our Members Only Jacket and head down to the Food Court at our local mall! (We will be sitting with the cool kids!) Along the way we discover that Dave's granny loved him the best. (Which is probably why he is such a spoiled little bitch now.) Then we dive right into the history of and different types of shopping malls around America. (With more information than you ever wanted or needed.) Then we slip through the time portal that is The Mall to revisit all the shops you could never afford to buy anything from when you were a kid. Before we leave, we have to stop at Spencer's Gifts for some fake poop. Our Sponsor this week is The Creepy Guy at the Food Court, we don't know who or what he is, we only know that he exists. We open the show with True Stories and close with Mojo Nixon who has a suggestion for what to do with all these empty malls.

When I think of my childhood home in Bethesda, Maryland, depending on what kind of mood I’m in, I think either of the mall or of the woods. Although there were some fun moments looking at the inappropriate novelty items like at Spencer Gifts, such as edible underwear, the mall in my memory is a symbol of suburban anomie and alienation. A place, as my guest today would put it, without context. The woods, on the other hand, were endless and full of surprises. We’d follow the twisting creek, overturn rocks to find crawfish, and eat sassafras leaves. Once we made Molotov cocktails out of my mom’s nail polish and threw them into the creek with pure, anarchic joy. In the woods, I was always, utterly present—connected to every sound and attuned to the slightest movement. In the mall, I was mostly conscious of whether or not my jacket looked cool. I’m here today with Jenny Odell. She’s an artist and educator who grew up in Silicon Valley and teaches at Stanford, the heart of the attention economy that’s colonizing more and more of the cultural woods. She’s also an avid bird watcher—or “bird noticer”, as she might put it. Her wonderful new book HOW TO DO NOTHING: RESISTING THE ATTENTION ECONOMY is something like a primer for growing the woods inside the mall. It’s about carving out space for ourselves in a world that wants to put our time and our lives to other, more utilitarian uses.  Surprise conversation starters in this episode: Edward Slingerland on the Taoist concept of Wu Wei and how it plays out in Chinese business culture  Learn more about your ad choices.

Memphis Type History: The Podcast

In this episode of Memphis Type History: The Podcast, Caitlin and Rebecca talk about the history of a few malls in Memphis, how they started and what they've become. They also include some hopeful future news.  They talk about the history of malls generally, but also specifically how Memphis malls illustrate the rise and apparent current fall of the mall as an architectural construct in cities across the country. They talk about where the oldest mall in the history of the world resides. Of course, it would be the motherland of architecture, none other than Italy. It's also an example of a galleria being in contrast to a mall because it makes use of a glass enclosed promenade. It's called Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. First up, the Hickory Ridge Mall, which came about in the heyday of indoor mall popularity: the eighties. Rebecca took her family to visit the what was once one of Memphis' most popular attractions. It's the same place Caitlin's grandmother used to take her to shop at the oh so bougie Goldsmith's department store (Caitlin really just wanted to go to Wet Seal, though). In any case, Rebecca was particularly impressed by the still operating, double-decker carousel. Unfortunately, the food court promised a lot but didn't seem to have much going on. The mall is now mostly space used by service providers to the now recessed community of Hickory Hill—a nonprofit pharmacy for low-income customers, tax prep services, the school district had a registration office, after school programs, etc. It's really amazing that it is still running at all given the fates of the next two malls and Hickory Ridge got hit by a tornado in 2008. You can see another perspective from someone who grew up at the Hickory Ridge Mall and recently went back to visit from Michael Butler at his blog one901.com. Next stop on my tour was the Raleigh Springs Mall—the second mall of Memphis. Rebecca couldn't go inside because the Raleigh Springs Mall had been scheduled for demolition. It opened in the seventies and was on the forefront of a new phenomenon at the time: movie theaters inside malls. It's something we all associate completely with malls now but in the seventies it was a brand new idea and the Raleigh Springs mall was one of the first. The Raleigh Springs Mall closed in 2011 and despite efforts to try and use it a new town centre concept to provide community services with a police precinct, library, job training center, etc. the build was demolish in 2017. Despite all of this, when Rebecca drove around the neighborhood, she was really impressed with the homes and surrounding neighborhood. It reminded her of the small Texas town where she grew up. Then maybe the most tragic tale of them all: The Mall of Memphis (aka The Mall of Murder) The Mall of Memphis stormed the Mid-South as the premier marketplace and arrived with much fanfare. It boasted 1.2 million square feet of retail space including an ice skating rink, food court, a fancy ribbon-cutting, indoor concerts, and basically all the things you saw in the movies in the eighties that wished were happening at your childhood mall. Caitlin knows firsthand. She grew up visiting and remembers it being the place with all the cutting-edge stores especially one favorite (admit it, you loved it as a teenager, too) Spencer Gifts. The mall developed a reputation for being unsafe. After hearing so many people refer to the mall by that reputation even now, many years after its closing, Rebecca looked into some research about exactly where the reputation came from. Rhodes College did a study about the subject comparing the Mall of Memphis to several others: Oak Court, Southland, and Hickory Ridge in regard to several specific areas of comparative data: location, demographics and, competition. The big takeaways for me were the following: Media coverage played a really significant role in the name "Mall of Murder" sticking and by extension the reputation Other malls actually had a higher number of crimes per capita (Oak Court) and property crime rates (Hickory Ridge). Note: Rebecca states that Oak Court had higher violent crimes but it was actually property crimes as well as crimes per capita. There was a dramatic demographic shift from 1990 to 2000 in which the percentage of white residents nearby dropped precipitously. It's also worth noting that this shift didn't just occur in a racial binary (black/white). There was also a significant increase in new hispanic residents to area surrounding the mall of Memphis. The businesses in the Mall of Memphis were almost entirely geared toward "blue collar" shoppers as opposed to shoppers looking for "luxury" brands For full show notes, go to memphistypehistory.com/malls
