Still Spinning on 01.08.25

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Welcome to episode of 81 of The Still Spinning Podcast. We missed you all during our break, we hope you all had a nice holiday season.   Dan kicks off by sharing a story of a "unique" request he got from someone trying to hire him to do comedy. It is a doozy and a request he had never heard before, and he has been in the field for over 30 years!   Remember writing checks? Well younger generations do NOT and this leads to a fun interaction with Dan and his nephew. And quite honestly, the nephew has some valid points about checks and how odd they are. We discuss.   The work-from-home days are ending for a lot of people. The story in today's episode is about Amazon and their employees going back for 5 days a week. We talk about work from home, the pandemic and so much more in this segment. And we do not necessarily agree on a few things like productivity. Whose side are YOU on?   And lastly, there is a story of a lonely boat, washed ashore in Milwaukee. Do we talk about how it got there? Sort of. Is the point about that? NO. It is about these people who own a BOAT looking for handouts from the average person to get it unstuck and they started a gofundme. THE NERVE.   All of this and oh so much more on episode 81 of the Still Spinning Podcast.
