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.
