Episode 153 of the Still Spinning Podcast starts with fall weather, pumpkin spice, and an important household debate: exactly how cold is too cold to leave the windows open?
From there, things go downhill quickly. Dan and Nicole discuss the HYROX competitor who experienced a very unfortunate bodily malfunction during a race... and just kept going. She won, but everyone behind her may have lost. This leads to some questions about sportsmanship, biohazards, and a potential new sponsorship opportunity for Swiffer.
Also this week: apparently some of America’s biggest millionaires aren’t tech moguls at all. They’re small business owners, car dealers, dentists, consultants, and other people who apparently figured out the whole “making money” thing better than Dan and Nicole did.
Then it’s off to the airport, where TSA is experimenting with letting non-ticketed visitors through security again. Is that a nice return to the old days, or exactly what overcrowded airports do NOT need? And speaking of airports, would you pay by the hour for your own private room during a layover? Sounds relaxing... until Dan and Nicole realize there may be some other uses for those rooms.
The 25th anniversary of 9/11 sparks a conversation about just how much time has passed, before things get even lighter with the people building artificial intelligence warning everyone that artificial intelligence could eventually kill us all.
Good news, though: Charlie the dog interrupts the AI apocalypse because his tennis ball rolled under something.
So we've got that going for us.
It’s Episode 153 of the Still Spinning Podcast with Dan and Nicole: funny, occasionally informative, usually inappropriate, and somehow still spinning.
