Doug and Matt discuss their experience at BroadwayGR's musical The Notebook. They then talk about their viewing of the 1955 movie Rebel Without a Cause starring James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo.

In the second half of the show they once more compete in a game of trivia! In this seventh round, can Doug finally put a stop to Matt's undefeated status?

They'll be taking a week off but will be back for an Election's Eve podcast in which they'll explore the polls for the senate, gubernatorial, and select house seats to see who will control the house and senate, and have the greatest effect on state governments.

Doug and Matt discuss the House of Representative race to the midterms by looking at the seats mostly likely to flip to Republicans or the Democrats.

Matt gets preachy at the end regarding voting but other than that they stay focused on the house races... except for the time Matt also gets sidetracked by Michigan's house races...

So typical ADHD and Autism living together.

Why does everything seem to cost more, and what can we actually do about it? In this episode of Husbands on the Spectrum, we break down inflation in plain language. What causes it, how government and the Federal Reserve can respond, and why slowing inflation doesn't necessarily mean prices go back down.

We also turn the conversation toward what individuals can do to protect their finances. We discuss avoiding unnecessary debt, thinking carefully before buying a house or taking out a car loan, and taking advantage of higher interest rates through CDs, money market accounts, high-yield savings, and other investment strategies.

Most importantly, we talk about the difference between what we can't control like inflation, interest rates, and the economy and what we can control: how we save, borrow, spend, and plan for the future.
