Would You Melt an Olympic Gold Medal?! Uber for Teens — CA. Blackjack Could Be About to Change Forever

Would you ever melt down an Olympic gold medal… and if you did, what’s it actually worth? The crew kicks things off with a surprisingly fun (and slightly unhinged) debate, then gets practical with Uber for Teens — how it works, what parents can see, and what teens can do in the app — with Foosh breaking it down from the driver’s seat. Plus, the reality check: only about a quarter of 16-year-olds are licensed now, which leads to a full-on nostalgia spiral about sprinting to the DMV the second you turned 16.   Then it’s weather whiplash: rain hit overnight with more on the way, ground temps holding steady, and a look at how Seal Beach is battling the ocean to protect homes. From there, we ride the wave into a high surf advisory for OC and San Diego — including how insane The Wedge can get — while mountain communities sit in desperate need of snow.  And just when you think you can relax, TikTok drops a new twist: “Local Feed” — a new tab aimed at surfacing posts, businesses, and happenings near you. And for blackjack players in California, there’s a big change coming: the state just approved new DOJ cardroom regulations affecting blackjack-style games (and player-dealer rotation). The rules take effect April 1, 2026, and could mean your favorite “blackjack” tables at cardrooms may have to be eliminated or heavily modified. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🚨 NTSB Warns Burbank Is at Risk — Meanwhile L.A. Can’t Agree on the Mansion Tax

 Where were you in 1988? We kick things off with a fun throwback and a look at some of the greatest sports moments of that era — nostalgia, legendary plays, and why certain years just hit different.  Then we dive into Los Angeles politics and housing as reporter Michael Monks breaks down why the L.A. City Council hit pause on voting for proposed reforms to the city’s controversial mansion tax. Supporters say it’s necessary, critics say it’s backfiring — and new economic studies suggest it may be slowing housing development during one of the worst housing shortages in L.A. history.  Next, a serious aviation warning: the NTSB says Burbank Airport could be the site of a future mid-air collision if changes aren’t made. What’s causing the concern, and what it could mean for air travel in Southern California.  And finally, a lighter note — moving to Canada and a great Wayne Gretzky story involving trophies, humility, and why even the greatest of all time has moments that make you smile.  A little history, a little policy, a little safety, and a legendary sports story to close it out — all in one episode. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🎰 Kids Are Gambling on Sports, Adults Are Hanging Self-Portraits — What Happened?

We kick things off with one of life’s most important questions: what kind of person hangs a portrait of themselves? From Wayne Gretzky’s unmatched record of having the most records, to Mark Thompson’s mysterious 8x10 glossy celebrity photo on his nightstand, we debate ego, legacy, and — naturally — what side of the bed do you sleep on?  Then we get real about relationships. Do you have a snoring problem? We talk through the unspoken rules of sleep, compromise, and the secrets to a great marriage, because nothing tests love like a bad night’s sleep.  Next, a serious (and slightly unsettling) trend: younger kids gambling on sports. After Ben Affleck told Jimmy Kimmel his son asked him for gambling money, we dig into how sports betting went from bookies and guys “running numbers” to being everywhere — and what that means for parents today.  We wrap it up with “Good Times Go Bad” with Mark Thompson, diving into a new Gen Z reality: parents applying for jobs with their kids — and even going on interviews for them. Is this helpful parenting or crossing the line? Either way, the generational shift is impossible to ignore.  Funny, uncomfortable, and surprisingly insightful — this episode hits all the angles. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Ben Affleck told Jimmy Kimmel that his son asked him for gambling money, we talk about how betting went from bookies and guys “running numbers” to apps on every phone — and what parents should be paying attention to.  We roll into “Good Times Go Bad” with Mark Thompson, looking at a new Gen Z reality: parents applying for jobs for their kids — and even showing up to interviews with them.
