The Still Spinning Podcast Dan Deibert / Nicole Devin

Welcome to episode 52 of the Still Spinning Podcast. That is right, we have made enough episodes that you could listen to one a week for a WHOLE YEAR!!
 
20 years ago, the finale of Friends aired. THE FINALE. Wasn't 20 years ago 1980?? We discuss the show, the finale, and what it means to be a Gen X kid who thinks "everything" was 20 years ago.
 
Dan ordered from Little Caesar's over the weekend and found out, the hard way, that they use DoorDash as their delivery service. Did he get his food? Did he get a refund? You will have to listen to find out.
 
There is a new office term (when isn't there??), and this one is called "rage applying." It happens when you really hate your job and start applying to anything and everything. Now, call me silly, but I feel like that is when I applied to all my jobs... isn't that just normal?? People do not leave jobs they love, right?
 
Finally, there is a small town in Japan that is sick of tourists, and they have a unique way of handling them. Or at least making it a less desirable place to visit.
 
All of this and more on episode 52! Make sure to check out our website for even more cool stuff - stillspinningpodcast.com. Have a great week!

Welcome to episode 51 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Nicole has COVID once again and Dan has dubbed her "Nicovid" and it is pretty funny.
 
This episode seems to have an "animal" theme. Some Scottish ladies in Romania ran into some trouble when trying to get a "nice" picture with a WILE BEAR. Needless to say, someone got mauled. This sparks a discussion on people VS animals and who is in the right (hint, it is the animals). Yellowstone and bison are mentioned and Dan had to run off to get a picture of Vigo from Ghostbusters 2.
 
Phish was at the Sphere in Vegas and we can only imagine the altered states of the folks in that dome. We talk about the coolness of the venue and Nicole shares what her ideal venue is, a place she has yet to visit. Have you ever packed your cat in a box and sent it to the Amazon return center?? Well, a woman in Utah did, and we tell the tale of the cat.
 
A little girl was scared of the monsters in her room and imagine her parent's surprise when a GIANT bee colony was discovered in her wall. GIANT. 50,000. This leads to a confession by Dan about his interest in a beekeeper's suit, and a comment Nicole makes gets taken out of context.
 
OKC is getting a big building, which we talked about LAST week, but this week they were hit by tornados. Do you think anyone has doubted any decisions?? Dan also dreams up a new podcast he would like to create, which involves a 360-degree camera on the top of his car, and he is already getting crowd support. Will it ever happen?! We will see.

Welcome to episode 50 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We recorded live on Earth Day and the first day of Passover. Dan got the cool new light working and we were off to the races.
 
Nicole found a story in People this week about a man who, on his honeymoon, took his wife's business class flight upgrade and then could not figure out why she was mad. Is it EVER ok to take an upgrade if you are traveling with your SO?? This leads to some flight preferences for Dan and Nicole and also a discussion on the Mile High Club. What a kick-off for the night.
 
There is a new building being built in the US that will be one of the highest in the country. Guess where? You cannot, I assure you. Let's just say the Tornado Belt is involved and we chat about Dan's stay at a really swanky place in Dallas and his near miss of a tornado there. He has also decided he wants to be a professional storm chaser or at least get the cool 360-degree camera on his car.
 
And finally, is this person an A-HOLE for asking people for $5 towards a backyard renovation instead of getting their kid a birthday present for their birthday party?? No discussion needed, yes, yes they are. But there are more details and witty banter about it, so tune in and check it out!
 
We are adjusting our timing for next week so stay tuned to learn when it will be!

Happy Tax Day everyone and welcome to episode 49 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We have officially made it one full year and we cannot thank you enough for all your support. One of our supporters, An, sent us a really cool Still Spinning light that Dan will have displayed on our future shows.
 
We kicked things off talking about one of Nicole's favorite headlines? Sub headline? I am not sure what the official name is but the term "fecal fiasco" was used and quite honestly, the author deserves some sort of prize in journalism for that phrase. We chat about flying with dogs and it seems Bark Box may be coming out with a dog friendly airline and we are here for it. Dog poo or human poo, neither is desirable when on a plane.
 
Disneyland is updating a rule they have because, of course, the general public took advantage and ruined it for folks who actually need it. Tune in to hear more AND hear about Dan's lack of desire to ever go to a Disney park! One of our listeners had some inside info and shared it in the chat, which is always fun!
 
Have you ever been with someone who took the tip you left for the waitstaff? Have you ever seen someone do it? Have you ever had to make up for a crappy tipper? We touch on all these ideas during the third story of our episode in which we discuss a story that a server put on TikTok about someone taking her tip off the table.
 
Thanks again for tuning in and if you are a Spinner, a special shoutout to you and a thank you for all your support! Check out our website at stillspinningpodcast.com for more info on subscribing, merch and old episodes.

Welcome to episode 48 of the Still Spinning Podcast, the Total Eclipse edition. To start us off, Dan tells a story of meeting a listener of the podcast out in the wild! It is a first for us and we were excited.
 
Yesterday was the eclipse, and we would have been remiss not to talk about it. Dan was sending Nicole updates and instructions on the best time to watch and it was totally worth it.
 
Imagine sitting in the window seat of a plane as it is taking off and you see part of the engine cover blowing in the wind. This happened Sunday to a passenger on a Southwest flight and we shared some (what looked to Nicole like) scary footage but Dan said it was no big deal! Looked like a big deal to Nicole!
 
Nicole loves Costco and has been trying to convert Dan for years and is close to breaking him. Costco is in the news as they are cracking down on who can purchase their famous $1.50 hot dog/soda combo and TBH, Nicole did not realize it needed to be cracked down on. This led to a mini discussion on stores with rules that they do not enforce. And somehow, it also leads to a discussion of wrestling, particularly WWF/WWE in the 80's. It was quite a night!
 
Thanks for tuning in! Please check out our website at stillspinningpodcast.com and tell your friends to check us out!

Welcome to episode 36 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We actually stayed on task today, for the most part. We kicked things off talking about fish and when you should not heat it up in the microwave.
 
It is wedding season everyone and with that comes wedding etiquette! A new one, one we are ALL FOR, is the idea of letting people who missed the RSVP deadline know that they should not bother showing up because they are OFF THE LIST.
 
A company asked 400 people to work from home last week for a virtual meeting in which they were all FIRED. One mass culling. We chat about this tactic and Nicole shares a story about a job she used to work at and how they did a mass firing.
 
There is a new friend type and it is called the "Tenured Friend." We go through the checklist and it turns out, Dan and Nicole are absolutely tenured friends.
 
Finally Dan shares a very disturbing animal (sort of) video. Nothing you will find sad or anything like that but for sure a WTF moment. You have to see it to believe it!
