We discuss the complexity of the Bilt Cash system, earning points on rent and mortgage payments, and Bilt's bigger goal of becoming an ecosystem centered around your neighborhood. We also touch on credit card fatigue and why understanding the fine print matters more than ever.

Story Transcript:It: Sotto il cielo grigio di un inverno veneziano, Luca camminava lentamente lungo il canale.En: Under the gray sky of a Venetian winter, Luca walked slowly along the canal.It: L'aria era fredda, e il suono dell'acqua che lambiva le fondamenta delle case lo accompagnava mentre si dirigeva verso la sua nuova scuola.En: The air was cold, and the sound of the water lapping against the foundations of the houses accompanied him as he made his way to his new school.It: Era il primo giorno, e il suo cuore batteva forte nel petto.En: It was the first day, and his heart was pounding in his chest.It: Le strade strette e i ponti antichi della sua nuova città lo affascinavano, ma l'ansia di non conoscere nessuno lo faceva sentire un po' spaventato.En: The narrow streets and ancient bridges of his new city fascinated him, but the anxiety of not knowing anyone made him feel a bit scared.It: Raggiunse finalmente la scuola, un edificio accogliente e colorato che si affacciava su un piccolo campo dove la neve appena caduta brillava sotto la pallida luce del mattino.En: He finally reached the school, a welcoming and colorful building overlooking a small field where the freshly fallen snow sparkled under the pale morning light.It: All'entrata, fu accolto da Giulia, la sua vicina di casa.En: At the entrance, he was greeted by Giulia, his neighbor.It: Lei era un raggio di sole, sempre pronta con un sorriso.En: She was a ray of sunshine, always ready with a smile.It: "Ciao Luca!En: "Hi Luca!It: Sei pronto per il tuo primo giorno?"En: Are you ready for your first day?"It: lo salutò con entusiasmo.En: she greeted him enthusiastically.It: Luca fece un respiro profondo e annuì.En: Luca took a deep breath and nodded.It: "Sì, credo di sì," rispose, cercando di nascondere il suo nervosismo.En: "Yes, I think so," he replied, trying to hide his nervousness.It: Le lezioni iniziarono e Luca si sedette vicino a Marco, un ragazzo vivace e sempre al centro dell'attenzione.En: Classes began and Luca sat next to Marco, an energetic boy always at the center of attention.It: A prima vista sembrava sicuro di sé, ma Luca notò una nota di insicurezza nei suoi occhi.En: At first glance, he seemed confident, but Luca noticed a hint of insecurity in his eyes.It: Durante la pausa, Luca esitava.En: During the break, Luca hesitated.It: Si chiedeva se dovesse rimanere da solo o cercare di unirsi agli altri.En: He wondered if he should stay alone or try to join the others.It: Giulia e Marco giocavano a un gioco con altri bambini nel cortile.En: Giulia and Marco were playing a game with other children in the courtyard.It: Giulia alzò lo sguardo e fece segno a Luca di unirsi a loro.En: Giulia looked up and gestured for Luca to join them.It: Il cuore di Luca batteva forte.En: Luca's heart was pounding.It: Era un momento decisivo.En: It was a decisive moment.It: Decise di essere coraggioso, di uscire dalla sua zona di comfort.En: He decided to be brave and step out of his comfort zone.It: Avanzò verso il gruppo, le mani che tremavano appena.En: He moved towards the group, his hands barely trembling.It: "Ciao a tutti," disse con voce incerta ma determinata.En: "Hi everyone," he said with an uncertain but determined voice.It: "Posso unirmi a voi?"En: "Can I join you?"It: Giulia sorrise e Marco gli diede una pacca sulla spalla.En: Giulia smiled and Marco gave him a pat on the shoulder.It: "Certo, Luca!En: "Of course, Luca!It: Più siamo, meglio è!"En: The more, the merrier!"It: disse Marco con un ampio sorriso.En: said Marco with a broad smile.It: Giocarono insieme, ridendo e scherzando mentre la neve scricchiolava sotto i loro piedi.En: They played together, laughing and joking as the snow crunched under their feet.It: Piano piano, l'ansia di Luca svanì.En: Gradually, Luca's anxiety faded.It: Si sentì accolto, parte del gruppo.En: He felt welcomed, part of the group.It: Alla fine della giornata, Luca camminava verso casa al fianco di Giulia e Marco.En: At the end of the day, Luca walked home alongside Giulia and Marco.It: Sentiva il calore della loro amicizia crescere dentro di sé.En: He felt the warmth of their friendship growing inside him.It: Quel primo giorno di scuola si era trasformato in qualcosa di speciale.En: That first day of school had turned into something special.It: Aveva superato la paura e, con essa, aveva vinto una piccola battaglia personale.En: He had overcome his fear and, with it, had won a small personal victory.It: Si sentiva già più sicuro e felice.En: He already felt more confident and happy.It: Quando raggiunse il portone di casa, sapeva di avere trovato nuovi amici.En: When he reached the front door of his house, he knew he had found new friends.It: "Ci vediamo domani!"En: "See you tomorrow!"It: gridò loro, salutandoli con la mano.En: he shouted to them, waving goodbye.It: Giulia e Marco risposero con un allegro "A domani!"En: Giulia and Marco replied with a cheerful "See you tomorrow!"It: mentre scomparivano nella nebbia del canale.En: as they disappeared into the fog of the canal.It: La città di Venezia aveva accolto Luca, e quella sera, guardando fuori

It's a new year, which makes it the perfect time to reset how we think about points and miles. In this episode, we're diving into why earning and burning points is so important if you actually want to get value from your travel rewards.We talk about the risks of hoarding points, including devaluations that can happen without warning, as well as account closures and expiration policies that can wipe out rewards entirely. Points are depreciating assets, and waiting for the “perfect” redemption often leads to analysis paralysis and missed trips.We also share why using points can free up cash for other priorities, and how it's okay to save strategically for a specific trip—as long as you have a plan and don't wait forever. Most importantly, we remind you to trust that you can earn more points in the future.We wrap up by encouraging you to lean into community for support, ideas, and confidence as you navigate the points and miles world this year.Find Us On Online:Mary Ellen | JoFacebook GroupWonderland On Points BlogAffiliate Links:BEST PRICE on CardPointers subscription!Flipside Luggage (Use code WONDERLAND for 25% OFF!)Comfrt.com 15% OFFRakuten- Mary Ellen (Get 5000 AMEX or Bilt POINTS)Rakuten- Joanna (Get 5000 AMEX or Bilt POINTS)Chase/Capital One/Amex Card LinksFlyKitt- the BEST Jet Lag Solution!Tripiamo Driving TutorialsOur Favorite Travel NecessitiesWe receive a small commission when you choose to use any of our links to purchase your products or apply for your cards!

Did you know that Steven Spielberg produced the classic '80s cult film Three O'Clock High? Well, we didn't either, until our guest, writer/director Kevin Lewis (Willy's Wonderland, Pig Hill) came to the show wanting to discuss it. It's a simple story about a high school dweeb (Casey Siemaszko) challenged to a fight by the new kid in school (Richard Tyson) and the chaos that ensues as he tries every trick he can to get out of the ass-whoopin' heading his way. Spielberg took his name off of the movie before release, but was instrumental in bringing it to life. We talk about that decision, guess as to why he had the change of heart, and break down some of the wildest aspects of this mostly hidden gem of '80s filmmaking. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Hey Amarillo, we sit down with Paul Borchardt, who, until very recently, ran one of Amarillo's most beloved and historic landmarks: Wonderland Amusement Park. Paul's story starts far from the Texas Panhandle — growing up on a farm in Iowa, serving in the Navy, falling in love, and eventually finding his way to Amarillo, where he joined his wife's family in running an amusement park that has become part of the fabric of this community. For decades, Paul and his family poured their energy, care, and dedication into Wonderland, creating a place that generations of families return to summer after summer. In this conversation, Paul reflects with pride and genuine enjoyment on the years spent keeping Wonderland going — and on what it feels like to step away after 70 years of family stewardship. He's sweet, funny, practical, and deeply appreciative of the people who loved the park as much as he did. This episode is about legacy, community, and what it means to take care of something that belongs to more than just one family.

In this episode of Wonderland on Points, we're joined by @SuzyMay.Wander, financial coach, worldschooling mom, and host of the Wander Worldschool podcast, for an inspiring and practical conversation about designing a life that makes meaningful travel possible. Suzy shares how her family transitioned from dreaming about extended travel to living it out, and she walks us through her approachable six-step framework for planning long-term or slow travel with intention. We talk about clarifying your “why,” building a realistic financial plan, understanding what monthly costs might look like in different destinations, and using tools like points, budgeting strategies, and creative income to close financial gaps. We also dive into the mindset side of money, why so many families underestimate what's possible, and how getting honest with your numbers can open the door to travel that truly aligns with your values. If you've ever wondered whether extended travel or a slower, more intentional travel lifestyle could work for your family, this episode offers guidance, encouragement, and a practical starting point.Episode SponsorFlipside Luggage (Use code WONDERLAND for 25% OFF!)Mentioned in this episode:Grenada EpisodeSeville EpisodeSuzy's blog-home swapFind Us On Online:Mary Ellen | JoFacebook GroupWonderland On Points BlogAffiliate Links:Comfrt.com 15% OFFChase/Capital One/Amex Card LinksFlyKitt- the BEST Jet Lag Solution!Tripiamo Driving TutorialsOur Favorite Travel NecessitiesWe receive a small commission when you choose to use any of our links to purchase your products or apply for your cards!

1. Welfare System Fraud and Structural Issues Based on an op-ed by Phil Gramm and John Early in The Wall Street Journal titled “The Biggest Fraud in Welfare”. Key points: U.S. welfare spending has skyrocketed 765% since the mid-1970s, now totaling $1.4 trillion annually. If distributed evenly among the 19.8 million families classified as poor, each would receive $71,000 per year. The government fails to count non-cash benefits (Medicaid, housing subsidies, food stamps) as income, creating a distorted picture of poverty. Example: A single parent earning $11,000 annually can receive benefits worth $53,128, bringing total resources to $64,128, well above the poverty threshold. Criticism of the system: It traps people in dependency instead of promoting self-sufficiency, contrasting with Trump-era welfare reform that moved 7 million people off food stamps into the workforce. 2. Massive Fraud in Minnesota’s Medicaid and Welfare Programs Federal prosecutors allege up to $9 billion in fraud since 2018, possibly 50% of the $18 billion spent on 14 programs. Fraud described as “industrial scale”, involving fake companies and individuals exploiting housing and autism assistance programs. Some funds allegedly funneled to Al Shabab, a Somali terrorist organization. Criticism of Minnesota’s Democratic leadership for lack of oversight and alleged vote-buying incentives. Prediction: Similar fraud likely exists in California, New York, and Illinois. Media accused of downplaying the scandal; local CBS reports highlighted the severity. 3. Strong U.S. Economic Performance Under Trump Latest GDP report shows 4.3% growth in Q3, the strongest in two years, beating expectations of 3.2%. Growth driven by consumer spending, healthcare, tech, and AI-related investments. Inflation reportedly down to 1.6%, signaling economic stability. Commentary contrasts media narratives predicting economic collapse with reality of strong holiday spending and trade policy success. Trump’s supply-side policies (tax cuts, deregulation) and trade strategies credited for economic boom. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Director Kevin Lewis joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to dive deep into Pig Hill, a chilling folklore-driven horror film inspired by local legend and psychological fear. Starring Shane West, Rainey Qualley, Shiloh Fernandez, and R.A. Mihailoff, the film follows a woman obsessed with the myth of the Pig People as disappearances begin to pile up.Lewis opens up about what first pulled him into the project, from the strength of the script to the way the story's third act completely flipped his expectations. He talks about the power of real folklore, how legends seep into the subconscious, and why stories like Pig Hill feel unsettling long after the credits roll.The conversation explores how Pig Hill differs from expectations shaped by Willy's Wonderland, leaning more into psychological horror and emotional tension rather than pure chaos. Lewis breaks down his creative mindset as a filmmaker, explaining how he always approaches his work as a fan first and why horror audiences are some of the most passionate and forgiving out there.Lewis also dives into the hands-on process behind the film's practical effects and creature design, working closely with legendary effects artist Jason Baker. He discusses the challenge of creating something iconic that feels timeless, while balancing cinematic realism with a dreamlike, giallo-inspired visual style influenced by filmmakers like David Lynch and Dario Argento.The discussion touches on walking the fine line between gore and suggestion, the importance of letting the audience's imagination do the work, and which scenes proved the most challenging to shoot under tight indie conditions. Lewis reflects on how limitations often push creativity and why trusting your gut can lead to some of the film's most memorable moments.Lewis also looks ahead, teasing several upcoming projects and sharing his excitement for continuing to make genre films for fans who love bold, weird, and unforgettable storytelling.Pig Hill is now available on VOD from Cineverse.Visit Nerdtropolis.comhttps://www.Facebook.com/nerdtropolishttps://Instagram.com/nerdtropolishttps://Twitter.com/nerdtropolis

Today on the podcast, Chris Maynard sits down with filmmaker Kevin Lewis—yes, that Kevin Lewis, the mad genius who gave us Willy's Wonderland and cemented his place in modern cult horror. He's back with a new Southern-Gothic nightmare, Pig Hill, a film that premiered at FrightFest and is now available on VOD courtesy of Cineverse, the folks behind Terrifier 3 and The Toxic Avenger.Pig Hill follows Carrie, played by Rainey Qualley, a young woman obsessed with the eerie legend of the “pig people”—grotesque creatures said to stalk the wooded hills of her rural hometown. As the disappearances of local women reach a chilling tenth victim, Carrie, her brother (Shiloh Fernandez), and their friend Andy (Shane West) begin digging into the folklore… and discover there may be more truth to the stories than anyone wants to believe.Today's episode of the Following Films Podcast is brought to you by Google Workspace.

IAAPA Expo is often described as the “most wonderful time of the year” for attractions professionals, but it can also be overwhelming: long days, packed schedules, and endless conversations. By unpacking the expo, Matt and Josh share how they turned the week into a soul-filling, business-building experience through people, intentional design, and investing in the next generation. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about how to turn IAAPA Expo into the most meaningful and memorable week of your professional year. People, Meetups, and Becoming the “Elder Statesman” “This was such a huge ‘people' experience for me.” Matt's first big takeaway is simple: people. From the AttractionPros Meetup until leaving Epic Universe on Thursday night, he was in constant conversation, reconnecting with long-time colleagues, and supporting first-time speakers. Matt also talks about his evolving role as a kind of “elder statesman,” helping newer professionals, making the event as much about lifting others up as about his own experience. Booths as Mini Attractions “An expo booth should operate like a mini attraction.” Josh shared how he treated his exhibit booth as a mini attraction. With two interns, they focused on fundamentals of guest service. Details mattered: enhanced carpet padding that felt like “walking on a cloud,” comfortable lounge-style furniture, and a coffee station with branded cups and carefully placed lids so the logo was always visible. Inclusion Beyond Accessibility “Inclusion is not the same as accessibility.” Matt highlights a powerful session on inclusion led by Sharon Newhardt and Enzo Piscopo of Morgan's Wonderland. Enzo, presenting from a wheelchair on a stage accessible by a newly installed lift, shared how physical accessibility does not automatically equal inclusion. He explained that while ramps and designated seating may check compliance boxes, they can still leave guests and employees feeling excluded such as never being able to choose a seat behind home plate or in a dream location at a ballpark. When IAAPA Expo Really Is a Family Reunion “You never know who you're related to at the Expo.” Josh shares a story that turns the “family reunion” metaphor into reality. In the middle of a packed Tuesday, he receives a text from his mom: “We have a cousin exhibiting at IAAPA.” The next day, Josh finally met his second cousin once removed — someone who has been in the industry longer than he has, working on the chemistry behind skin for animatronics. They realize they've likely been in the same building at the same time for years without knowing it. Quick Hits: Energy, Words, Appreciation, Rest, and Instagrammable Workplaces “Sleep and rest are not the same thing.” Matt runs through a series of “quick hits” that left a mark on him. From the Women in the Industry Luncheon, he shares Lauren Hodges's concept of managing energy, not just time, reframing mindset language, demonstrating a deeper sense of appreciation, and differentiating sleep from rest. Finally, seeing IAAPA staff proudly taking selfies in their own event space prompts the question: is your workplace Instagrammable for your team? The Intangible Value of IAAPA “The overall value of IAAPA Expo is intangible and sometimes is not even realized until much later in the future.” While you can quantify tickets, sessions, and receptions, the real value of the week for Josh's interns came from introductions, mentorship, and compounding opportunities. Josh intentionally introduced them to every person who came to the booth, encouraged them to talk about their own career goals, and encouraged them to attend separately-ticketed events. By midweek, they had lost count of how many executives they'd met. While organizations often focus on hard ROI, it is the personal growth, expanded networks, and renewed passion that attendees bring back are equally valuable, even if they're harder to measure.   What were your biggest takeaways from IAAPA Expo?
