Welcome to episode 136 of the Still Spinning Podcast! Next week we will return to our “normal” love recording of the podcast on Mondays at 7 PM CT on all the socials with the regular drop still on Wednesday mornings. Things have been busy for the team so we apologize for the lack of LIVE we have had.

Speaking of busy, Dan was traveling this past week and came across something in the Kansas City airport that he really loved and it was gender-neutral bathrooms! You read that right, Dan LOVED the experience. He tells us all about the pros of these in particular and we find out what Europeans hate about bathrooms in the US.

They say everything old becomes new again and the most recent trend we see coming back? LANDLINES. That is right, dust off your rotary phone folks, landlines are making a comeback. The reasons have more to do with child safety and limiting social media but regardless of the reason, we are intrigued by their return.

And finally, Dan was in a few Ubers this week and the smell really got to him. So he has some advice for Uber and we would love to know what you think as well so check us out!

Thanks for joining us on week 136! We will see you next week.

Welcome to episode 135 of the Still Spinning Podcast, the last one of February!

Dan has a lot of travel coming up for his job and so the topic of hotel stays is high on his list. There are a few things that both he and experts have noticed. First off, the days of the cheap hotel room are gone. No longer are you likely to find a $125 room in a nice hotel. Second, say goodbye to the free breakfast! There are some reasons behind that, and the team discusses them during the podcast.

There have been a few recent studies on workplace burnout and apparently the act of hiding your true feelings and/or “reacting” in a work moment the way you feel are expected to react is causing folks to lose steam by the end of the week. Is that amount of “acting” sustainable? We discuss.

I know Dan went on a late tangent but even I cannot remember what it is about so you will have to tune in to find out!

Welcome to episode 134 of the Still Spinning Podcast. This week is all about the Olympics! The winter olympics are in full swing and with it, lots of news. Close to home, Dan has some outdoor lighting that he has set to red, white and blue to honor the athletes competing in Italy. Well, his neighbors have started to copy him so he fills us in on the neighborhood lighting.

Dan gives a wonderful recommendation for women’s hockey happening at the Olympics. The USA team is doing well and he is very impressed. The Canadians appear to be cheating at curling and we hear more on the official rules and what is being done illegally at the games. Some men were allegedly injecting their neither regions with acid to inflate them in order to add more fabric to their suits for the ski jumping. Olympic village ran out of condoms early on and we discussed the perfect mix of things happening there to explain why this happened. So much happening!!

We will NOT have a live recording next week as Dan is traveling but we will drop the regular episode on Wednesday. Spinners, bonus content will be coming your way on Friday!
