Nick kicks things off with The Consumerman himself, Herb Weisbaum, who brings the goods on protecting your wallet this summer. From spotting bait-and-switch tricks by shady moving companies to understanding how AI is fueling smarter, sneakier online scams, Herb shares practical advice with his usual clarity and bite. If you’re hiring a house painter, he’s also got the checklist you didn’t know you needed.
Later, Car Guy Tom Appel rolls in with updates on the hottest new rides and a surprising about-face from Ram—they’re keeping the V8 engines in their trucks after all. Alongside some genuine auto insights, Tom and Nick take a hilarious detour through the wild world of old car commercials, including a baffling pitch for the 1975 Granada and the curiously confident 1977 Oldsmobile Omega SX.
Rounding things out are new rounds of #Starspotter and #MysteryShow, with Nick pulling from his bottomless bag of stories, sightings, and sideways tangents. It’s a solid ride from scams to sedans, with just enough weirdness to keep it moving. [EP 363]
