This week we take a look at the housing mess. The headline: a proposed 50-year mortgage, which we do not love. We break down why longer terms make payments feel smaller while total interest explodes, what actually drives affordability, and how VA loans still shine. From there it’s real life—youth sports costs, healthcare and insurance sticker shock, and parenting decisions that hit the wallet. Local in the Lou brings Nikki Glaser’s SNL moment and what it means for St. Louis bragging rights. The Wheel spins through MLS schedule moves and Apple TV shifts, immigration headlines, tech innovations, and the week’s economic trends. If you’ve ever stared at a medical bill, screamed at gas prices, or wondered whether you should buy now or wait, this episode’s for you. Listen, argue with us, and send to a friend who still thinks “interest” is just a feeling.

What crashed harder this week, the mystery near Area 51 or that St. Louis house party? Grab a plate, we’ve got UFO rumors, gas price pain, and first-car chaos.

Tonight the Posse goes from late-night food cravings to late-breaking mysteries. We kick off with travel horror stories and the snacks that got us through, then dig into the recent Area 51 crash, what’s confirmed, what’s guesswork, and why the secrecy matters. Back home in the Lou, a chaotic house party makes the news and sparks some all-too-relatable youthful mischief tales. We hit a quick radio reset with the Woody Show’s return, swap first-car memories that probably violated at least three warranties, and spin The Wheel for fast takes on gas prices, flight cancellations, elections, and what to watch next. It’s equal parts nostalgia and receipts, with just enough trouble to keep it fun.

Listen on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple. Follow the page, drop your funniest first-car fail in the comments, and send this to a friend who still thinks UFO stands for “unpaid fuel obligation.
