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. 

Maybe it's just a gimmick. Or, perhaps this $150 gadget will get you to a much desired and needed 6-8 hours of sleep you're desperate for. First, that pizza looks delicious but no way I can do it with a friend in under an hour. WE, the consumers, are shouldering all these wages increases. I don't scroll in bed, but if you do perhaps the Loftie will end that terrible practice. 

Bethany is back Bama and escaped just before the big rivalry game. What part of town is the Target on Alexis in? I'm quite surprised people aren't being more outrageous - as they usually are online - when it comes to the sad, but very preventable Charged Lemonade death involving Panera. Apartments at Southland now moving forward.   

Before we get back to a second visit with Joe Capucini (12:59 mark) who gives us a preview of The Thanksgiving Play at the Maumee Indoor next month... No houses will be taken by ODOT. Pitch those pumpkins. Nice to see this place still in business.  Adults (so all of us), be safe, don't misleading or be dishonest, and have some (fcUking) fun!

First up, Joe Capucini and The Thanksgiving Play will be on tomorrow's episode. So that tease will have to linger a bit longer. The Blade had a true crime pod several summers ago, and there's been an arrest in the case. Ranking the Flanaganverse shows. A final candy corn conversation for the season. The best Whopper maker in North America is here in Oregon. My niece's goals.

Bethany is in to talk kid Halloween costumes and trick or treating strategies.  I see a little of me in Taylor Swift when it comes to being with the opposite sex! I think I have Bethany's preferred music pegged to a T. Yes, OF COURSE you should pay attention when driving. ALWAYS!

Lets popularize cauldrons! Not just for Halloween, but year round.  House of Usher things! So yes, some spoilers.  Objectivity over subjectivity. Only the data matters! Data can refute your opinion. Are you different than the electricity in your brain?  Why can't Alex have nice things!?  

Are you expecting many or any trick or treaters? It's far more efficient for kids to go to trunk or treats.  The Britney memoir is coming. She said she had an abortion with Justin. The complaints I expected from the Taylor Swift didn't actually materialize, but other movie etiquette question arose.  The Travis and Taylor cottage industry has risen! Alex is almost done House of Usher, no spoilers!

Before Alex and I welcome back Alona Matchenko from Toledo Helps Ukraine to invite you to an upcoming documentary at the Maumee Indoor, we'd like to talk about... Massive spiders. Taylor Swift releasing her movie a night earlier than expected.  Total spoilers about the movie Fair Play. Our measured thoughts on the horrific situation that's dominated all non-Taylor news since the weekend. 

We WILL have summer concerts downtown. Or will we?! Our doubts, and also getting popular contemporary acts here is more challenging than you think.  And the regrettable nuclear comment from the promoter that set off one of our fine councilmembers. Alex has to watch Fair Play and then we will discuss. Our excitement from the next entry in the Flanaganverse arriving tomorrow.   

We got a long one! The first twenty minutes with Michael DeSanto and Charles Wetzel are them explaining FilmToledo, which is now the official film commission for the city. Want to see more big movies and scenes take place here? They can facilitate that. They also can and want to help aspiring actors and actresses in the area.  After that... I asked the guys to explain the strikes that hit Hollywood.  Their favorite actors and performing periods, what got them into what they do, what movie/TV hill they will die on, where is the streaming world going, what would make going to the movies more appealing and then we wrap it up with the first and last podcast episode of Trek in Toledo. 

Thanks to my good friend at the Imagination Station, Andi Roman, for bring Chief Scientist Carl Nelson to chat about some of the thing we can expect on April 8th. WHAT IS HAPPENING ON APRIL 8TH! Cue Aerosmith. Kidding.  Carl is whetting his eclipse appetite in Oregon (not the East Toledo suburb) this weekend for an annular eclipse. First, my cart is full...but not with Whole Foods items. They closed. 

I will ask you a question and you can answer it and you can see for yourself why Trader Joe's isn't here and probably won't be for some time if ever. First, I turned Sunday TV on and all I got was some dumb game! No need to thank me. Thank YOU! Shhhhhh. The Lions are the C word. Which is arguably better for sustainability 

There's a TON going on in the coming weeks at the East Toledo Family Center, so Jodi and Shelby are back for their third visit to share all the updates. First, perhaps some incentives to kill this invasive species that's arrived in the area. A kill list?

The latest with Travis and Taylor, including more Kelce family anecdotes from Alex.  One of my OTHER concerns about the medical field showed finally showed itself. It wasn't racism, but classism! This unstoppable, possibly unfixable, cycle that continues in most cities. 

That number 20 represents the number of veteran suicides.  I listened to Jason speak at Nike Lecata's Run For Life event a few weeks. He spoke about mental health and veterans in way, and with a passion, I'd not heard before. It was almost intangible to explain.  So, podcast invite!  Jason will talk about a great deal of his experience going in and then out of the army, and if you can make it to the very end, you'll see my wanderlust of where he is in his life!

IT WORKED! Well enough anyway. I ran my phone's voice recorder app while on stage this past Saturday at Franklin Park Mall.  It was a 20 minute conversation that I could've carried on for hours. My friends at the mall who put on Kix Con asked me to host a panel with Rogers' own Darryl Brown. creator of Midwest Kids. LOVED hearing about his rise, seeing his humility, and watching how his creative and strategic mind worked.  Enjoy!

Jaden and Bethany are on today to talk some of the biggest local news stories of the week, their first few weeks of schools, and lots of music talk!
