  • Millard Days, Omaha Hidden Gems & Things to Do This Week

    There’s a lot happening around Omaha this week, and Pat, Dan, Jill and Colette are getting you caught up.

    We’re talking Millard Days, the new Charles E. Lakin Foundation Pier at River’s Edge, and a way to donate extra garden produce through Mulhall’s Plant to Give program. Dan takes us inside Pop Culture Exchange for a serious dose of ’90s nostalgia, and Jill gets a look at the Omaha Supernovas Hype Squad as they prepare for another season.

    Colette shares what she learned at WanderNebraska and finally gets her hands on Glizzies & Fizzies. Dan also makes a strong case for what he says is the best BLT in Omaha, but you only have a limited window to get it.

    Then it’s Rapid Fire with Opera Outdoors, the Nebraska State Fair, Lauritzen Gardens and Hoop It Up before things go slightly off the rails with state-fair food, road rage, Costco etiquette and the driving courtesies we think everyone should be required to learn.

    We’re also talking about what makes Elkhorn feel like a Hallmark movie, Amazon delivery drones showing up over Omaha, a great local story involving Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hanson—and somehow, shower lamps enter the conversation.

  • 2025 #058 - Diddy’s "If I Go Down" Warning, Epstein Tape Bombshell & Shia LaBeouf’s Alleged Twin?!

    First, the Kentucky Derby drama (sorry, no Triple Crown this year), then it's straight into the Epstein investigation bombshell—14 terabytes of never-before-seen tapes, files, and photos being reviewed for high-profile indictments. Meanwhile, R. Kelly’s attorney claims Diddy is about to start naming names. Oh, and a woman on TikTok just said she’s Shia LaBeouf’s twin and that they were separated by a child trafficking cult. You heard that right.

  • 2025 #057 - Roomba Spies & Why Your Headphones Might Be Listening Too

    Pat & JT spiral into tech paranoia after finding out Roombas might be recording you on the toilet—and leaking it. They break down the viral bathroom photo that resurfaced from Amazon-owned iRobot tests and share a wild moment when a piece of podcast equipment picked up audio while powered off. Plus: the terrifying truth about smart devices, how many photos we’re hoarding for no reason, and why you probably won’t ever watch that concert video again.

    Pat & JT dive deep into the ultimate pop culture rabbit hole: Taylor Swift allegedly unfollowing Brittany Mahomes (she didn’t), and how it all ties back to Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and a scandal involving sexual assault accusations, leaked texts, and subpoenas flying. They break down why Swifties think Taylor’s distancing herself, how Reynolds may have overplayed his perfect image, and why LeBron James really skipped the Met Gala. Plus: Diddy’s trial, Gigi & Bradley go Insta-official, and the rise of “unfollowing” as the new breakup announcement.

    Introducing Michelle Obama Opens Up: Her Struggle To Feel Like She's “Enough,” Mental Health in the White House & Lessons from Childhood w/ Craig Robinson from The School of Greatness.

    Follow the show: The School of Greatness

    Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!

    Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson reveal how growing up in a tiny Chicago apartment shaped their values and outlook on life. From Craig "vetting" Barack Obama during a pickup basketball game to Michelle navigating the pressures of the White House, their conversation uncovers how family bonds grounded them through extraordinary circumstances. What makes this sibling dynamic special isn't just their impressive achievements but their authentic connection - Craig bringing lightness and joy while Michelle delivers wisdom and perspective. Their shared belief that "home is about who's there, not where you are" resonates deeply as they explain how they raised confident children amid extreme privilege and spotlight by teaching them that success comes from character, not circumstance.

    In this episode you will learn:

    • Why basketball became the ultimate character test when Michelle asked Craig to play pickup with Barack Obama before their relationship got serious
    • How their parents "coached confidence" decades before it became popular, building them up rather than breaking them down
    • The surprising way Michelle and Barack maintained their mental health during White House stress by coaching their daughter's basketball team
    • Why Michelle feels more confident at 61 than ever before despite asking herself "am I good enough?" throughout her career
    • The counterintuitive parenting approach that helped them raise grounded children despite White House privilege
