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!

Some thank you to begin the episode, which gets me to what it IS easier to do these days when it comes to transactions.  I'm slowly migrating more to Threads.  Taylor Swift affects things! A nearby Crop Circle festival.  Maybe he WANTED to get caught to avoid what we're all plagued by. 

Really, why? Are you just sleep walking through life, school, work, date, get married, make kids, die... WHY? To wipe your ass when you're old? What if you don't have a relationship with them?  What in you is driving you, besides 300,000 year old DNA, to procreate!?

It's my annual (sometimes moreso) with Megan Scott, a suicide attempt survivor, to invite you to this year's Out Of The Darkness walk. See you October 7th! First, another daily thought about the strike, and why I'm envious about so many asking for (and deserving) pay bumps, and not an invasion of privacy so much as it's an assault of hypocrisy. 

I've seen my friend, and past guest, Wendi Huntley from Connecting Kids to Meals all over the media the last few weeks. Turns out this is a very important month when it comes to combating hunger. See how you can help out Wendi, with a couple bucks, a couple hours, or a couple votes to score them a slick new vehicle in a national contest! VOTE HERE First, my ethical and financial selves clashing, over something that's been brewing for years, if not several decades. And now, we're figuratively and literally paying for it. 

My radio career will likely be bookended by beginning and ending at stations that were called Q... And all because of a simple word in an AOL profile. First, a few thoughts, realities and fears with the UAW strike. 

(My apologies about echoing Alex!) It's been some weeks away from us with Bethany, so a potty training update! A little bit more about my visit home and Bethany's doubts about Wawa pretzels.  The new NSYNC song is going to be REALLY good.  How often do you think of the Roman Empire? Taylor Swift beat reporting. 

Sans a kid in school, this was one of the more challenging interviews for me to ask the right questions. Beth doesn't seem intent to mislead, but maybe after listening you can get me more knowledgeable about the subject. First, some upcoming events to invite you, and why the surge of popularity of Vans, Jordan 1s and Dunks. 

This was recorded before my trip away, but no less informative. We hear OF the disease often enough, but how much do we/you/I actually know about its viciousness? Let's ask Marsha Oberleiter those questions, as she visits to talk about the upcoming walk in the Monroe area on Oct. 7. 

Sorry for so few episodes recently! I CAN share more about what has kept me so busy at work as the project is now up and running.  Just tap water, family dinner, wild drivers, unpleasant people, a dog up all night and plenty more from my trip home. Alex has so many tears for her nephews first football game. It's not reading if you listen to a book. Sorry. 

Tim and Amy from Monarch Grief Center make a return visit. I want to know what they've learned since being online beginning back in February. Also, they'd like to invite you to their first fundraiser coming up in September. First, Nebraska women's volleyball must've done something big to warrant discussion.  Prison escapee details prison break. A very provocative (and wrong) editorial in the Blade. 

Scary situation that could've been worse, and one day may escalate to that.  How else is Alex's house trying to kill her? She and Thomas got a lawnmower, but he'd never mowed a lawn before.  What's the most challenging roundabout in the area?

Bob Barker wasn't the only celebrity death over the weekend. The voice of a now very famous character passed away. Your turn Wawa! Thank you to the Jewish Federation for allowing me to speak. With a new show starting, I'm glad one of my news friends will not be leaving in the near future.

I've always had that question in my head. Joe Fawcett, the new CA for Perrysburg (barely on the job) was kind enough to stop by and answer that question. Before that, how about them fries at Hooligans!?
