What's in the box:
This week we're reacting to the midterm elections, from the blue wave to the California billionaire tax debate, and comparing notes on healthcare costs in the US and Australia. Then we get into Mariah's Glitter 25th anniversary edition, going track by track through our favorites on disc two, including the Never Too Far rough demo, the Westlife version of Never Too Far and Hero, three different Loverboys, the A cappella of All My Life, and the live Caution Tour medley. In the advice segment, a listener asks whether she and her fiance should buy a condo now or keep renting until rates drop, and Dan breaks down down payments, closing costs, buying down your rate, and why time in the market beats timing the market. Plus, Dan is still competing in the Top Host podcast contest and needs your votes. The box is open, the mics are on. Let's get into it.

This week we're getting into why you should be watching 60 Minutes Australia, from the Tara Brown interviews to a Tourette's story with a twist you won't see coming. That leads us into the renewed buzz around Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos scandal, including the Stanford professor who steals every scene and how a 19 year old with a fake voice and a black turtleneck got billionaires to hand over hundreds of millions of dollars. In the advice segment, Chris from New Jersey got pulled into a pyramid scheme by a girl from the gym and wants to know how to get out without losing the friendship (spoiler: we have thoughts about gym friends). Then Jordan from Los Angeles just got laid off from Netflix after six years and wants to know what comes next, so we talk about grieving the job, updating your LinkedIn, and always having a backup plan. The box is open, the mics are on. Let's get into it.

This week we're getting into Mariah's Loverboy video, which she just released remastered in 4K. But first, we go on a tangent about a TikTok comment section roasting a man named Carl and his very bright lights, which turns into a full debate on HOAs, neighborhood rules, and who gets to tell you what to do with your own front yard. Then a listener from Atlanta asks us to settle the score: is the Loverboy video underrated, or are we all just nostalgic? We break down the looks, the hair, that famous red bandana, and all the details we can finally see after 25 years. We also talk about the David LaChapelle connection, how the video was remastered from the original film, and where it ranks among her best videos. The box is open, the mics are on. Let's get into it.
