Roll for initiative! This week, V and Emily use the actual "what happened this week in fandom history" event (the USPS released Dungeons & Dragons themed stamps) purely as an excuse to talk about a meatier topic: the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and its effects on fandom... focusing on the writing of one blorbo extraordinaire, Mr. Eddie Munson. Stranger Things did a great job with Eddie and the other nerd characters! The 1980s did NOT do a great job with nerds! And for being the only two people on the internet who don't play DND, we think we did a great job with this topic...! NOTE: This episode was auto-edited by Zencastr, so it may not be as clean as our usual releases. We should be able to go back to human-edited episodes very soon!

The show kicks off with news about the new head of the DEA, Terry Cole, who replaces Anne Milgram. A primary focus is on the ongoing discussions regarding cannabis rescheduling to Schedule III and the implications of this potential change. The hosts emphasize the importance of legalization and the latest court rulings, particularly highlighting the case of Kan Devon Baxter and how Second Amendment rights intersect with cannabis use.

Shepherd shares her personal story of being imprisoned for cannabis and the challenges of resettling post-incarceration.

The US Postal Service has increased its rates for stamps and parcel service on an expedited timeline, a change highlighted in the article "USPS hikes parcel rates and stamps by 7%". These new prices, including a 78-cent first-class stamp and higher domestic shipping costs for Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select, were previously approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission. The Trump administration is updating its national freight strategy, focusing on emerging technology and regulatory barriers, as discussed in "Will AI rewrite America's freight strategy?". The US DOT is seeking public input to prepare for a projected 50% increase in U.S. freight tonnage by 2050, looking for insights on diversifying global supply chains, rising energy production costs, changing urban-rural dynamics, and increasing e-commerce. June's Cass Freight Index report revealed continued pressure on freight volumes, marking 29 consecutive months of year-over-year declines for shipments, a trend extensively covered in "June produces mixed freight trends, recovery remains ‘elusive'". Although expenditures rose year-over-year, the outlook for July predicts a further 5% year-over-year decline in shipments, potentially offset by recent import increases. Finally, listeners are invited to tune into upcoming FreightWaves TV segments like Check Call and Loaded and Rolling. Nominations for the FreightTech 100 are now open, leading to the FreightTech 25 announcement at the Future of Freight Festival this fall, and other events include the Enterprise Fleet Summit and the Supply Chain AI Summit.

Marc and crew dive into a wild mix of stories—from a massive 1,000-pound tiger shark caught near Pensacola and tagged for research (and then released, much to their horror) to the bizarre viral craze of tiny, “cute” Japanese miniature cooking that's blowing up on social media. They then shift gears to a serious financial warning: starting this fall, “Buy Now, Pay Later” payments will hit credit reports, potentially wrecking credit scores for those using the option without caution—something most people don't realize yet. They close out with gripes over the latest USPS stamp price hike, reflecting on how the service has declined despite rising costs. The segment blends humor, pop culture, and real consumer advice with that no-nonsense edge.

Hour 2 of the Marc Cox Morning Show dives deep into Missouri's recent legislative session with State Senator John Lamping breaking down Gov. Mike Kehoe's mix of tax cuts and government expansions—from major league ballpark tax breaks benefiting the Cardinals to a controversial tuition waiver for first responders' kids that raises questions about fairness and government overreach. The conversation also tackles a property rights bill defending landlords from progressive city mandates. Transitioning to lighter but no less real topics, the hosts discuss the terrifying catch of a 1,000-pound tiger shark near Florida's shores, the viral “kawaii” trend of miniature cooking, and a financial wake-up call as “Buy Now, Pay Later” loans start hitting credit reports this fall—lurking dangers for everyday consumers. The USPS stamp price hike caps the hour's mix of politics, culture, and practical warnings, all with a sharp conservative edge.

Welcome back to Not Fintech Investment Advice, where Simon Taylor and I talk about fintech companies that we're definitely not giving investment advice on. We kick things off with Polar (think Stripe Billing but for LLMs). Polar tracks things like token usage, execution time, and even GitHub access to handle metered billing for AI-native products. It's not even payments; it's pre-payments, too. Polar helps you charge for the thing before the thing happens. Hey, as AI agents start shopping for themselves, someone has to keep the receipts… Next up is Multiply Mortgage. “Mortgage-as-a-benefit” sounds cursed, but here we are. Multiply partners with employers to offer discounted mortgages (plus human advisors) to employees with zero cost to the company. Their bet is housing is the new healthcare: too broken to fix individually, but too big for employers to ignore. Especially useful in tech, where compensation is equity-heavy and underwriting gets weird. But it's also a bet on this macro moment in time; if rates drop or unemployment spikes, the model may crack. Then there's OpenTrade. Yield-as-a-service for stablecoins. Most stablecoins can't offer interest directly (thanks, regulators), but OpenTrade does the regulatory gymnastics to plug stablecoins into money market funds via tokenized swaps. But I wonder what's more disruptive: the yield or the regulatory workarounds? You can't stop yield from sneaking in the side door (and honestly, why try?). Last up is Spinwheel (think Plaid, but for liabilities). While Plaid figured out the asset side of your balance sheet, Spinwheel builds pipes for the other half: credit cards, BNPL, student loans, and more. They started with embedded debt repayment and found their niche by giving lenders the kind of granular, real-time liability data that credit bureaus can't (or won't) offer. With Section 1033 on life support, is Spinwheel poised to become the only player with coverage that actually matters? Plus, manifestations: can someone please build a public credit bureau (kind of like a USPS for liabilities)? And while we're at it, a stablecoin for the unbanked/underbanked that isn't built on Tron?

Hello and welcome to episode 104 of the Still Spinning Podcast! Just a reminder that you can watch the live taping most Mondays at 7 PM on Facebook, YouTube or Instagram OR wait until the official podcast release on Wednesday morning. Visit our website for more details on becoming a sponsor and buying merch. All of this at stillspinningpodcast.com. Gen Z, who apparently are being referred to as “Zoomers”, have pissed off a new sector of the world - bartenders! How and why? We discuss. We also talk about how this generation seems to have been changed by the pandemic, maybe more than any other. There was a story in the news about a dad who was being hailed a “hero” for jumping off of a 4th floor balcony of a Disney cruise to save his kid, who had fallen into the ocean. You had to read quite a ways into the story to discover that dad had placed the kid on a railing… and then the kid fell in. We discuss whether the term “hero” is applicable in this case.  Microsoft is saying goodbye to their “blue screen of death” but will it ever really go away? The names of things are changed all the time but people still refer to them as the old name (hello Sears Tower). We also talk Mac versus PC and let's just say, both Nicole and Dan have a strong preference.  And finally, did you know that USPS has special CREMATION BOXES? Nicole is stunned there is a need and Dan is surprised Nicole is stunned. There is much talk of shipping costs and Dan gives everyone a website to check out the next time they need to ship anything. You have to listen to find out what site he mentions. Thanks so much for checking us out! We will be off next Monday but will be back in the middle of July!

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is intensifying enforcement of English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards as of June 25, 2025, which could lead to the immediate grounding of truck drivers who do not meet Department of Transportation requirements. This move is expected to shrink the pool of qualified drivers, creating capacity constraints, increasing tender rejections, and driving national truckload rates higher, with the National Truckload Index currently at $2.27 per mile.  In other news, Relay Payments is expanding its services beyond fuel payments into repair and maintenance, announcing partnerships with Southern Tire Mart at Pilot, Boss Truck Shops, and AMBEST Service Centers, collectively offering over 235 locations. This initiative aims to streamline payment processes for carriers and improve workflows for merchants by utilizing digital RelayCodes, allowing fleets to consolidate all over-the-road expenses on a single platform.  Turning our eyes skyward, FedEx has retired a dozen freighter aircraft, including Airbus A300s, MD-11s, and Boeing 757-200s, as part of an effort to streamline its air network and modernize its fleet, taking a $21 million impairment charge. While flying less domestically after its USPS contract ended, FedEx is focusing on efficient widebody freighters and plans further acquisitions of Boeing 777s and ATR 72-600 turboprops to meet strong international parcel demand and boost efficiency.  On the ground in the food sector, a wave of layoffs and closures is hitting major food retailers, distributors, and producers across the U.S., with over 1,500 job cuts announced since early May. Companies affected include United Natural Foods Inc., which is closing a distribution center in Pennsylvania and cutting 716 jobs; Albertsons, which laid off 275 corporate employees and plans to close a grocery store in Portland, Oregon; and Amazon Fresh, which shuttered a grocery location near Seattle with 125 job losses.  In the maritime realm, Federal Maritime Commission Chairman Louis Sola announced he is stepping down as his carryover term expires this month, having served since 2018 as a Trump appointee. Sola played a key role in safeguarding the U.S. maritime industry, bringing greater transparency to port operations, and overseeing a supply chain that moves more than $5 trillion in goods annually, including leading an investigation that resulted in the de-flagging of 140 sanctioned vessels.  The Ports of Indiana are partnering with Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) to restart operations at the Burns Harbor grain terminal on Lake Michigan, a crucial asset for Midwest grain exports since its opening in 1979. LDC, one of the world's "big four" global agri-commodities companies, plans to begin operating the terminal in early 2026, aiming to boost grain exports and provide vital market access for regional farmers.
