Episode Details

Is pumpkin spice losing its grip on fall? New ordering data shows caramel, apple and cinnamon are now beating pumpkin as the most-ordered fall flavors — and even McDonald’s changed things up this year.

Plus, would you take a vacation just to stay in a really nice hotel room and do...nothing? We’re talking about the “room rotting” travel trend. And if you’re trying to spend less, researchers say there may be a surprisingly simple trick: use cash.

We’ll also find out why laughter really may be good medicine, celebrate some big moments in Today in History — from Gatorade to Peanuts and The Twilight Zone — and wish Kelly Ripa and Sting a happy birthday.
