Well. What an interesting day. Trump won yesterday's election and Ross and Heather are in the studio screaming for money for WAYO -- donate.wayofm.org --. We have to talk about the election some. We have to! But then we're on to considering the various drinks we'd like to have as many of as possible right now. Heather's brought in a few real paper copies of Reader's Digest to close it out so you better go on over and donate as much as you can RIGHT NOW!!!

Huge thanks to Angela and Sven for donating during the show!

It's the first SoT of the WAYO Fundraiser for 2025, despite what Ross says, and we're getting a little whacky cause why not? We've got feet pics (for sale at the right donation level), The Switch Witch, used tees, and haunted places (like WAYO when Heather's there). If that's not enough to get you donating, we don't know what is!

Go. Do it. Now.

oh boy oh boy oh boy it's almost time for the WAYO fundraiser to start and we couldn't be more excited! So we're kicking it off with... some chat about AIs and Heather's new.... boyfriend? And then it's a WAYO mad-lib!! Some people call us mad-libs, TBH, and we're not.... mad.... about it. Then there's more cool election stuff and just a little Halloween.

On today's new Sound of Tomorrow, Ross has a lot of great stuff about elections and we even learn where the Monroe County Board of Elections is! You can google it, too. We're talking prop one and how some folks like to spin unconditional love as abuse. And Heather feels seen in a somewhat surprising way.

Space Cadets, have we got an episode for you! Heather has new cans (my cans!) and a Reader's Digest Update. Ross reports that the BBC honest and truly had to address the fact that people here in the US are running around saying the Deeps State Magic Man controls the weather (we're hoping the best for our fellow citizens in storm-afflicted areas--not making light of those folks' plight at all). Heather and Ross are working together with more Fun Facts about fact checking. And neither of them know how to pronounce Naloxone*!

*Though I did apparently know how to spell it first time out, even!  

We're making new friends and keeping the old (one is silver and the other gold) on today's new Sound of Tomorrow even if Ross is refusing to do a round. After some catch up and talk about how awesome we and all of our friends and how we all look great, too, it's off to talk about the VP debate and fact v. opinion. We're as insufferable as this sounds but still--come on--tune in. You know you want to.

Monday was the 17th anniversary of The Sound of Tomorrow's first episode so, to celebrate, Heather has erased Ross and is instead basically doing an hour long ad for her other podcast! (20minutesintothefuture.org) But she's also playing some fun stuff for you so it's not all bad.

Don your finest caftans and get ready for another new Sound of Tomorrow! Today we're talking Mrs. Roper and Three's Company in general and then we realize Heather's in for a challenge because, if she does her Buy Nothing Challenge right, she can't buy a new caftan. But there's probably some secondhand ones around. Then whaaaat? Actual follow up from two weeks ago when we promised we'd let all you parents out there know what to do if it turns out your kid is the bully!!

We've got your good old DJHZ back at the console spinning some hinting toward Halloween tunes and more for you!

It's a new Sound of Tomorrow! Contrary to what Heather wanted to hear, Ross said "genealogy" and not "geology." More family stories and way fewer rocks. Spring-boarding from the topic for family history of mental illness, we're straight into Back to School stuff! And what stuff it is. More on this next week as we didn't even get to talk about what to do when your kid if the one who's the bully!
