Show Notes
A fake championship ring offer, an airport self-checkout tip screen, and the funniest Halloween Reels we can find.
The Knicks’ ring offer to MSG employees was reportedly an internal phishing test: employees who clicked were assigned cybersecurity training. Then we look at the viral airport clip showing an 18% tip prompt at a self-checkout kiosk for a bottle of water. Plus, coffee Q&A and funny Halloween Reels.
Which one is more absurd: the fake ring offer or the robot asking for a tip?

More from Quite Frankly
What happened during the Hudson Valley’s famous UFO wave? Frank, Sheri, and Dave welcome researcher and author Linda Zimmermann to discuss the region’s reports of enormous, silent craft—including black triangles—and sightings near Indian Point and beyond. We also talk about Linda’s investigations into UFOs, cryptids, animal reactions to sightings, paranormal activity, and the Hudson Valley’s mysterious stone sites.
Has the cyber pandemic begun? Critical PHP security vulnerabilities, emergency warnings, compromised software, and a wave of hacking incidents have cybersecurity professionals sounding the alarm. Jim Lee joins Jay Gulinello and I to break down the cyber security story that has been getting a lot of attention over the last 48 hours, the role of AI in discovering/exploiting security flaws, and what all of this means for the average person. We'll also touch on the latest PlayStation 5 hacking breakthroughs. But as you know, when J is in studio, the topics we DON'T plan for end up being as interesting as the ones that we do plan, so enjoy the ride into the weekend!
Tonight, veteran paranormal investigator and demonologist Bill Slevin (https://billslevin.com/) joins Quite Frankly to discuss real-life investigations, unexplained encounters, and the difference between legitimate paranormal evidence and ghost-hunting gimmicks. We'll also examine Shawn Ryan's disturbing testimony about hell, psychedelic experiences, and whether alleged encounters with demonic entities can ever be trusted. To end, Timothy Gordon calls in to comment on reports that Father Chad Ripperger has been directed to withdraw from public appearances. Why is another experienced exorcist being pulled back from public view?
Why does flirting feel so difficult now—and what does that mean for connection between men and women? Dating coach Marni Kinrys https://www.youtube.com/@marnikinrys joins the show to talk confidence, modern dating, and loneliness, in the face of a society that seemingly wants men and women never to get along again. Then we have a little more on the Tesla Roadster upside-down demo, why people dismiss extraordinary technology as fake, and then an audience submission for a theory on what is really happening in the NYC subway system...also Kim Jong Un dies for like the fifteenth time.
Tonight's Weekend Review takes us to France and Italy, where protests, riots, and political unrest are raising uncomfortable questions about immigration, national identity, public safety, and the future of Western civilization. The lines will be open, I think we may even get a call from @JohnWardCinematics and then a light mix of other topics to kick off the week. Had a stressful night sleep so I want to work that out as well!
