On today's virtual tour of Todd's Classifieds, we introduce you to a man who will either sell you the truck running boards, or you can have them free if you beat him in a game of cornhole. You know, with beanbags? Plus, power shags and uncomfortably accurate light fixtures.
Wash your hands! Good, now was them again. Welcome to "Todd's Classifieds," where "reclaimed barn wood" isn't all that cool and the story behind "bloodstained running shoes, only $40!"
It's insane, once the word out that toilet paper was the "must-have" item of the cold and flu season, every paper good aisle at the grocery store was a ghost town. What else are you stocking up on?
What I found out from our DNA test results, or why I now know my Nana was totally screwing with me. You'll never believe that this sweet, adorable town is one of the five most violent here in Utah. It seems our kid's school is DETERMINED that we're taking our kid to Disneyland, and it seems kinda underhanded! The most intense moments of a rescue from a trailer rig ON FIRE, from the last person you'd expect. Humanity can be awesome.
We've all gone through the classifieds, trying to find a couple of tires or maybe a cd collection. But the true horrors of the classifieds, the seedy underbelly? There's some really weird stuff. Also, we're losing our edge, people! Utah is not the "least sinful state" in the nation. What happened here?
So you've heard about the rumor that NASA claimed the axis of the earth is perfectly positioned so that here in North America, we're balanced so well that a broom will stand on its own? That's ridiculous. Right?
Really? Trying to sell off 13 bags of leaves for $50? Who needs more leaves? Also, the gigantic Snow Supermoon is rising this Saturday, part of the Utah school system is moving to a four days a week class plan, and there's a freaking adorable penguin who travels 5,000 every year for the most wonderful possible reason.
On the Menu today on the Todd and Erin Video Podcast. Ribs in the oven Free cake And rogue Astronomers wearing only chaps
Did you know there's a gigantic list of free goodies and gifts you can get for your birthday? But as always, there's a catch. And the People Who Are In Charge of Creating New Emojis (yes, there's actually an official group) have a crop of new ones coming out, including a laughing/crying face and a ... woolly mammoth?
For people who re-discover a connection to the earth and it's amazing energies, there's so much potential for healing yourself. Here's the science from Laurie Neilson, director of the Living Light School.
Yes, there's an upscale hotel that rents out for "nooners" on Valentine's Day. AND, if you happen to get pregnant from that happy occasion, they invite you back for a free stay every year. Then, view the sweetest Daddy-Daughter date. Also! Create yourself as a luscious, pouting 50s style vixen and get the most beautiful pictures of you, ever. And the two most beautiful words in the English language: free cake.
Oreo sent us a case of their new flavors, including one with so much frosting that biting through it was a challenge. We'll tell you what's disgusting and what was surprisingly tasty. Taylor Swift kicked off the Sundance Film Festival last night with her documentary - we'll turn you into an expert celebrity-spotter on the podcast today. Get that selfie stick ready!
In a relationship, there's always a spender, and a saver. Who's the spender in your house? In mine, he's tried to buy a steel shipping container "because it had a cool robot thing in it." A wonky-looking generator. Three hundred bottles of off-brand perfume. Sixteen rusty dutch ovens. And that was just this week. Have a look...
Go for good enough! Everything doesn't have to be perfect to make this a great holiday, Dr. Julie Hanks is here to teach us how to "shoot for the middle."
There was a huge fuss over the old holiday tune "Baby, It's Cold Outside," claiming it was a sinister homage to sexual harassment. Another group of radio stations is banning the song this year, but maybe the problem isn't the song... it's your point of view. Also! Why glitter is killing the planet, revenge on the porch pirates and the sweetest adoption story of the decade. Seriously.
Ever have one of those tasty culinary experiments that was so yummy you vowed to cook it every week for the rest of your life? We felt that way about the Todd's New Orleans Red Beans & Rice. We'd just been to the Big Easy to hang out with my girlfriend Lynda for St. Patrick's Day and we were missing it already. That was two years ago. He made it again today, and it's just as tasty as I remembered. Plus ... the Todd gives the Elf on the Shelf concept another try. And pigeons in little red cowboy hats. Yes. Cowboy hats.
Here's the hostess gift no one else will think of: scented logs for the fireplace. Not cinnamon, it's ... think of your favorite greasy fast food. And they smell just like it. How to cook a fresh pork leg for Christmas dinner and I don't think the Todd's really getting the idea about how Elf on the Shelf works.
We just received a new taste-test item for the holidays. Join us for the unboxing and the unbridled horror. Ever heard of a "clamdy cane?" How to create a Christmas Tree "grove" with's Todd's easy DIY video.
Dr. Julie Hanks has the one sentence that will stop every argument at the Thanksgiving dinner table - she'll show you how you'll have a peaceful holiday and you will like it! The Todd's made a really impressive Cranberry Jalapeno Cream Cheese Dip that was really tasty - and I hate jalapenos. And meet our Shop Locally Legends, Utah DIY Wedding and Willow & Jae Boutique.

There's a legendary bird... one that strikes fear and awe in the hearts of the Thanksgiving cook. The Turducken. The sublime mixture of turkey, chicken, and duck. And it is unspeakably delicious. Are you ready? The Todd has your step by step guide. Also! Meet our Shop Locally Legends: Whole Life Tea and Basil & Rose Garden and Gifts. They're about to make your gift list soooo much easier.

Today we taste-test Pringle's "Limited Edition" Roast Turkey flavored chips. I think you can guess the outcome here. Plus! The Todd's most popular video on cooking the Thanksgiving turkey on a grill outside - it gives you room in the over for everything else. And meet our Shop Locally Legends: bean bliss All-Natural Skin Care and Rogiano's Italian Dressing. Support local businesses this holiday!
Who knew Northern White Bean Soup was so tasty? Follow along with the Todd's latest tasty soup offering. Also! Why you should not use the airport charging stations when you're flying during the holidays. And a light-stealing Grinch might have just tanked the cool new Jordanelle holiday light show. (And I was so excited to take the kids to that one...) (image credit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffreyww/)
The Todd's obsessed with soups - the minute the thermometer dips below 65 degrees and it's Soup-O-Rama. Today we make his ridiculously tasty Ham and Lentil Soup. Oh, and guess how much a single, humble snow crab just sold for in Japan? Let's just say each bite is gonna cost you $3,600.
So Mercury is in retrograde and your communication with everyone is going to be shot straight to H-E-double hockeysticks. Case in point: getting a letter congratulating you on your pregnancy. And you're not. It's all coming from a Pleasant Grove company. Plus! Super tasty Maple Bacon Pancake bites. Easy enough that Erin can make them, so you know we're talking REALLY simple.

French Onion Soup. Who knew it was freaking delicious? And there's a certain level of drama when you serve it. Also, the subject of droopage. Have a listen...
Todd's Biggest Meat Ever. Yes- the Todd has picked out an alarmingly large cut of meat that could feed half the state. Let's see how it turns out? You might have a new "go-to" holiday dinner.
There's something so creepy about hanging out with Utah's most experienced ghost hunter in a graveyard ... especially when his eyes are looking at something BEHIND you when you're chatting. Tom Carr ("Talking to Yourself in the Dark: a Guide to the Paranormal") tells his most terrifying encounters, his top three spooky spots you should be haunting this weekend and the tools of the trade. (Yes, there really is such a thing as a ghost meter.) And if you're interested, it looks like he might be guiding us on a ghost hunt sometime soon. Who's interested?
Feel like scaring yourself silly this weekend? How handy, then, that we have the Five Spookiest Spots along the Wasatch Front! Lilly Gray's tombstone - Victim of the Beast - to a rock garden where the rocks move and change shape at night.
Do you realize we're in the Turkey Zone? If you don't eat it now, you really can't have it until Thanksgiving. Here's Todd's No-Fail Turkey video. When did Pennywise the Clown become Halloween's most popular costume? I have clown "issues" as it is. Plus, a pretty Halloween wreath with almost zero effort. The low-stakes crafting we've all been looking for.
So Erin's sitting in a bathtub with six kittens and the director of the Utah Humane Society, and it just gets weirder from there. Also, congratulations, Utah! We were just named number one in the nation for something! And The Todd has created an instructional video about it.
