Eppy 142: Our State Fair is a Great State FairDid we shut the garage door?! It's the universal Boomer (and Millennial!) panic moment—halfway down the street, we're convinced the garage is wide open. Cue the dramatic "drive of shame" back home! In this episode, we laugh about the quirks and worries we all share, from garage door paranoia to the things Boomers value that no one else seems to care about anymore—like balancing a checkbook or buying a timeshare.  Then we head to happier places—county fairs! Ohio has 88 counties, which means 88 excuses for funnel cakes, corn dogs, and people-watching galore. Plus, the State Fair is in full swing, and we've got some sweet (and slightly fried) memories to share.  Grab your favorite fair food and tune in for laughs, nostalgia, and the comforting reminder that some things—like funnel cakes—never go out of style.  Follow us and join the fun! We're on Instagram, X, and Facebook: @OKBoomerPod (http://OKBoomerPod.com)   Catch up on episodes and more at http://OKBoomerPod.comAnd for our fellow podcasters and authors, check out http://SpeakUpTalkRadio.com—it's our happy place for creativity!

Hello and welcome to episode 109 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We did a special pop-up live event on Facebook for this one since we missed our “normal” live night on Monday. Make sure you visit your usual podcast subscription service to add us to your list. Visit our website for more details on becoming a sponsor and buying merch. All of this at stillspinningpodcast.com. Nicole went to the State Fair last week and was able to give a recap of some of the foods she tried and liked, some she did not and the disgusting thing her husband ate (she will add a video to the FB page). Think these Fair Foods sound good? What is YOUR favorite food at the fair? Send us an email! The weather was BONKERs in Wisconsin and Dan has some real life experience dealing with it. He talks about it and then gives some solid advice about police barricades and what you should, and should not, do if you encounter one.  And finally, there is a zoo that is asking for “pet food” donations… as in “give us your pets to feed to the big animals here at the zoo.” It may not be as bad as you think, tune in to hear all about it.  Next week we will not have the Monday live event (again) as Dan is traveling to Canada to finally use his passport to get Starbucks! But we will have an episode drop next Wednesday as well as bonus content for the Spinners.

Sean and Lucas on the State Fair, Iowa State needs an open practice, and the Brewers streak - M H1

Nearly a foot of rain fell overnight Saturday in some places in the Milwaukee area, causing flash flooding in the region that stranded drivers, and shut down the State Fair. Plus, some nurses with advanced degrees will soon be allowed to set up their own practices in Wisconsin. And, a unique summer camp is helping kids who have parents in prison stay connected with family. 

A community center that serves more than 300 families on Indianapolis's northwest side will temporarily close its doors. The Indianapolis City-County Council has announced its next steps following the investigation into the city's handling of inappropriate workplace behavior and sexual harassment allegations. The Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County changed the name of one of its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committees this summer. Governor Mike Braun reappointed three members to Purdue University's board of trustees. It was gouda vibes at the Indiana State Fair last week with the unveiling of the annual cheese sculpture.

Severe storms led to record flooding in Wisconsin. The AP's Jennifer King reports.

While Missouri's GOP governor has not made a decision yet on whether he'll call a special session for congressional redistricting, he says Illinois Democrats have gerrymandered their map. Governor Mike Kehoe spoke to reporters, including 939 the Eagle, in Columbia last week. The governor says the U.S. House should stay in GOP control. State Rep. David Tyson Smith (D-Columbia) says a special session on congressional redistricting would be unconstitutional. "Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn was live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" and suggests a special session is a good possibility. Mr. Faughn says if it does, the new GOP congressional district could run from the Independence area to Columbia. He says with that map, Missouri House Speaker Rep. Jon Patterson (R-Lee's Summit) and State Sens. Kurtis Gregory (R-Marshall) and Tony Luetkemeyer (R-Parkville) would be potential candidates in the new district. Scott also discussed his interview with Governor Mike Kehoe at the state Fair and why he enjoys conducting interviews at the state fair in Sedalia. Today is Missouri Farm Bureau Farm Family Day in Sedalia:

Simon Conway is joined by Major General Richard Osborn, Senator Joni Ernst, Todd Jacobus, and Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler during Monday's first hour.

Welcome back to work, yo. Another weekend gone by. Another five days of torture in front of us. We kicked off the week with an update on the flooding in Milwaukee, including info on vouchers for the State Fair. Also in the news this morning, the Holmen robbery suspect from last week has been captured, and police in Sun Prairie are investigating a body that was found in a manure pit. Plus, an update on the CDC shooting suspect, and a tiny space rock crashed into a home in Atlanta the other day. In sports, the Brewers remain red-hot with a big comeback win over the Mets yesterday, a recap of the first week of the NFL preseason, a MASSIVE field goal from Cam Little of the Jaguars, and a significant injury to Rondale Moore of the Vikings. Elsewhere in sports, results of this weekend's NASCAR Cup Series race and an Xfinity driver who had a bit of trouble getting out of his car after a victory. Wisconsin center Jake Renfro suffered a setback in training camp, and two Japanese boxers died from brain injuries just days after fighting. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we had a funny story about a tiny Pomeranian that scared off a bear that had wandered into a home. Plus, a record-breaking sunflower! Had an interesting list of little-known facts, including a recall on BMWs in Germany, how much cardboard is produced in America every year, and a town in Michigan with a very interesting name. Are electric vehicles making you more carsick than traditional gas-powered vehicles? They might be! Plus, an online debate about the worst song ever. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about some thieves who stole over $7,000 worth of Labubu dolls, a woman who got her arm stuck in a game at a Chuck-E-Cheese & had to be rescued by the fire department, a shooting suspect who got caught jerking off in a parking lot of a grocery store, a guy in Texas who creeped on some girls while wearing a diaper, a dude in Arizona who's going to jail for attempting to kill his former boss, and a claim that people who have masculine names get more food when ordering through an app.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
