Before we get to Kirsten, Abby and Jordan from St. Ursula's production of Rock of Ages... The Lions should win this Sunday. It should be an easier game than against the Rams. OK! Rock of Ages at the Valentine! Why Abby and Jordan got involved, what they SOUND like, and just how well they know the music from that very glamorous decade of the 80s. 

A story 13's Tony Geftos untangled became a viral sensation. So that with him, but Tony also has one of the most popular features in the area. Dine 419. He's been to over a hundred places. If you've seen them INSERT SLOBBERING EMOJI. Tony's also hoping for a Lions win and isn't likely to boo Matthew Stafford. If you want, you can hop to Tony at 12:21 First! Good for White Claw, you're back in the game! A quote from the Walleye's mental health night from their psychologist that is a key tenet of my talks. 

As I was preparing for our chat, it hit me that Heather Pollauf went from one field of science to another. She left her job as a meteorologist at 13 a bit over a year ago for an important role at the Lucas County Health Department.  Why she left. Does she miss it. What does she do now. What was going on at Ashland Manor. How does she manage the role as a wife, and mom two boys VERY fond of urgent care visits? Heather is also all things Oregon. Her mom is even on council there! What she'd like to come to the area (OG!), missing Freeway, an experimental Panera her husband is overseeing and the upcoming town center. 

The Toledo amphitheater study has been completed. Long answer? Short answer? No. Not really needed. As usual I forgot to mentioned a point in the episode. Having that venue is much less necessary now that for roughly half the shows you may want to or go to, are LCA, which is a MUCH shorter and forgiving commute than all the way up to the Palace. Speaking of Detroit. Don't boo Matthew Stafford! What's wrong with you!?  What almost froze me out of Toledo as my home. 

I'm not a UM fan. I don't hate OSU. So why am I happy? Easy. The best team won, and that's rare across all across now.  Our first celebrity death of the year.  A perfect depiction - on both sides - of how a strike ends. Toledo is looking for a new Kid Mayor, streets to be fixed and TSA lottery is coming up! A wild way to ensure first responder services in communities that need more funding for them.

Those aren't the actual letters after Cecil's name.  EOTY. Episode of the Year. I know we're only four days into it, and no disrespect to the Girls Scouts, or Alex - who's here as well - but Cecil is an LMSW. Licensed MASTER Social Worker. Aside from those letters, he's the Black version of me when it comes to mental health. Hat, sweat pants, football, classic video games, comics and...candor.  I cannot wait to watch and hopefully help him become a force helping, quite frankly, people who look and dress just like him. 

It's the happiest time of year! Eric, the holiday are over! It's GIRL SCOUT COOKIE SEASON! My friend Katie Maskey is here with Savannah to kick things off, which is officially tomorrow GO HERE. Before we get to another edition of some serious Girl Scout trivia, its Single In The Glass City time again, and regardless your age, what makes you feel old?

Nicki Minaj has reached Cardi B status for me. Best Buy is beginning to ditch their physical media items as they mentioned last fall.  When's too late to say HAPPY NEW YEAR. A new law in Cali has me wanting to share something about gender that I never have before. A shout out for our governor.  Alex DID see Saltburn, so we discuss, unfortunately with spoilers.  

Coulda/shoulda made this a two parter! Bizarre Browns world we're living in now. Alabama/Michigan was an excellent game. I'm very happy for you! Toledo lost a very very good man.  The city's murder rate is way down, but Alex has other concerns.  Careers v Jobs Lather me up! I have a sister in law now.  

My dear friend Dr. Andrea Mata wrote a book to help parents.  What help do parents need!? A lot! Many of them have my sympathy.  The book is called The No. 2 Parenting Book Practical Tips For The Pooped Out Parent!

Perhaps to my detriment I don't post episode titles that immediately get your attention. I need to for this one. Also, not hyperbole, you will hear me like you've never heard me before.  Before we talk about DJ Jake, Wonka was wonderful, I'm Just KenMas, a Philly legend helped make a memorable night in BG. 

The title will make more sense when we end the episode with denied Ohio license plate submissions! First, my week away went just about how I hoped it would! I did forget to mention one things, lots of gaming, to go with the other ing's. Functioning misanthrope. Man, people! She's home! Back to a time when you missed the beginning of a show, AND had to race to the bathroom during a commercial break! So, roughly 2018. Though possible later for some.   

My friend and fellow 'tribesman,' Paul Causman returns to talk about this weekend's A Christmas Carol shows from the Rep AT the Valentine. It's been over 20 years in the role, but many different questions for him since previous conversations of ours.  First up, letting some of my colleagues have it, and who's YOUR hottest!

Before we visit with Adam Cassi from Keep Toledo Lucas County Beautiful and all the composting things I learned... I'm not making excuses for our forecasters, but...ooooh, that sounds like an excuse is coming! Did dark shopping patterns get you!? Not me!

I have seen pics of local people who've played Mother Ginger, but aside from that I have no idea what that entails. Dom Glover, the shows director, and a friend, is here to shed light on what my afternoon will be like on Dec at Lourdes.  TICKETS HERE

I LOVE self checkouts! Many apparently do not, and want to be compensated for their 'work.' First, and before get to the return of my friend Valerie Fatica, the Disability Manager for the City of Toledo to talk Snow Angels and jerk landlords, BREATHHHHH, perhaps the greatest Battle of I75 EVER.  I'm going to be Mother Ginger, and music I/we have waited about 20 years for!

Before we get to 'Black Friday we have big TV's put groceries on sale'... I think getting a cold may be worse than what COVID can wreak on us now. It's going to be an onslaught of show and movie announcements with the strike over. I'm out on the awards at awards shows but the Grammy noms will bring fierce competition. The new Dua Lipa is phenomenal!  

No intention to be disrespectful by just putting Margo P. But her last name is Puffenberger and the length of the title would've been unfriendly to your screen. Before we talk Maumee Uptown updates, rental ordinance drama and safe bike paths with Margo... Issue 1 type things are going to be continually routed on ballots. Perhaps why one school levy passed and another did not. And the return of a Mexican buffet I have only heard about but not been to.

If you slept crappy like I do you might not be so affected by the time change. It's Election Day! Do you have a strategy for drive thrus. The guy that's the Taylor Swift beat reporter may be regretting taking the job. It's been almost a week since any streamers raised their prices.

A quick one when I say it's actually going to be quick! Just two topics. Perhaps we need to adjust how we go about red flag laws when it comes to who shouldn't have guns. Me. I should not have them. It's 60 seconds long. For now.
