Episode 86
The Nuts engage in a lively discussion about college football, including the new playoff structure and its implications. They also share their thoughts on Halloween movies, particularly the classic 'Beetlejuice,' and reminisce about animated series from their childhood, exploring how these shows shaped their experiences growing up. More childhood nostalgia gives way to a discussion of the influence of advertising on consumer behavior, the implications of new regulations on influencer marketing, and the consequences of fraudulent PPP loans. Other topics include the importance of facilities in cabins, holiday traditions like Yule logs, and the recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
