My gravity has sucked another person into my orbit. A really good dude. Tons of energy and positivity. He's the host of the return of Party in the Park, but his presence and voice is many other places around the area. THEN, we got into an unexpected discussion about a health product that could save your life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Toledo's preeminent historian, Tedd Long, returns to talk about his new book, Table For None: Lost Eateries of Toledo. Seeing menu prices from LONG ago makes the whole book worth it! Before that... Another helpful use for Chat GPT. A good friend helped me, let her help you.  Goodbye Salute. Luxury puzzles? No thank you. The crime, yes crime, of killing tarantulas.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's one of the worst things someone can do, but this was just SO long ago.  When you find out what you were aiming for, wasn't all that great after all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

4 years ago I tried to bring a third dog into my home. This past weekend, I made this attempt again. It did end the same as the first time. My first ever comment on an Alexis Means post! Good movie, really good superhero movie!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It looks like one of the worst periods in the last hundred years of human history. Why didn't she do more to stop her son? Could she? Don't give the Browns that money. No way. Also, no way Eddie George is getting fired after 2025. A giant rubber duck, Krazy Bins and Canada Dry please!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As you know we have a lot of guests who return multiple times. Sam Chang is back, but his first visit was YEARS ago. So let's do a refresher on what Midstory is, and you'll see why I refer to them as a modern NPR. Sam also wants to invite us out to their summer interns storytelling event coming up on July 26th. Also, some AI discussion, which may be a first on the show, choosing higher ed or not, and local cuisine thoughts. Gory NBA talk, one of Sam's passions though not his wife's, near the end of the episode. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She's been here a bunch, but not since being able to sign the wall! Before we get to my friend, the city's disability manager, Valerie Fatica, who'll invite you to the third Disabled and Proud Festival... Happy Rita's in Toledo day. Several Toledo natives in national news stories to share. We will hear this statement quite a bit again in four months. Not bases stolen, but soda and ice cream. Be wary of pets. Be wary of YOUR pets. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Very sad news with the passing of Adam Rossi. Before we do that, I'm SO over the stress of watching the radar.  MY octopus teacher. You don't have to hear about the Italian Bowl anymore. I'm not too concerned about losing my mind to Chat GPT.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The President said something that had me screaming YES, like I was his biggest supporter in history. He was just so right. First, Kellogg says Leggo, food trucks for the 4th and we finally know about the filming!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Much like myself, Raina Dawson is an adorer of perhaps the greatest salty carb ever. Unfortunately, she's not a big fan of being around the other passion in my life. Her passion is ending homelessness, and she has a few salient ideas how to do just that. First, well done to THREE D'S, and, I don't know if his deep feeling for others knows any bounds. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mannnn, 28 Years Later was a let down. I think I know why though, and we shouldn't be surprised.  First, a couple of tweak to social media if I was able. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We got a big Miley and T-Pain fan on the show today. Ty Cleveland from the very popular Mud Talk podcast is on today. How they got started, why they started doing less Toledo stuff, what I think made them SO good so soon and much more! It won't take long for you listen to see why they are what they are. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a couple years of DMs Kareem Hammuda was able to make it in to make sense of CIFT and NOCK and how you could wind up at SFA. So many acronyms! We will use Willy's Salsa as a regular example. Hopefully you'll find some of his foodie insight helpful. First, you're welcome J-Cups, and it's their moment from 20 months ago. Somebody call an adult. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It would seem like SO many are. Let's find another way to convey it, yes? Why we rescheduled RetroSkate 3...at the last moment.  Kim from Buckeye is here to talk about the great many things they're doing in the community for their 60th year. It includes A LOT of building!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

...for this one, Paul Viafranco, we connected at the NAMI walk. Paul told me a bit coming here from San Antonio, but also, he's part of the Kidney Foundation of NWO. THAT is an organ we've never discussed on the show, but the health of it, and yours, tracks back to SO many things we've discussed in the past about improving the health of our community. Paul is also the first ever person to bring up Good Reads on the show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sorry acronyming you, but all you can eat barbecue at the Ronald McDonald House Charities Cork + Pork event where I've been invited to be a judge. The AYCE is just $50! First, a tiny preview of what the finished Riverwalk will be like. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jaden's back! It's been too long. I missed my friend. He's been in immersed in junior year and trying to figure out GW, Univ. of Toronto, or elsewhere and what that's gonna cost.  Why he does what he does with his work and podcast for the Toledo Free Press. But first we start with the important stuff. Music and a Dunkin review.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Totally botched a Target trip and now it's possible, though unlikely, I run out of toilet paper! They're only down 2-1, but I think tomorrow is a must win game for the Walleye. He's visited everyone but me. STEAMy (and sexy) science! A literal life saver of mine has returned to the area. He is REALLY Good(e).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've always done my best to support my MANY friends in our robust performing arts community. But much of what they do just isn't my playground, so that leads to A LOT of question for Zak Vassar President and CEO of TAPA. The Symphony? That's them. Ballet? Probably them. Nutcracker? Definitely TAPA.  What's to come with their new building, what Zak is most proud of during his stewardship and my middle school music teacher/nemesis Mr. Leach. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They've made millions and I've ignored them for 3 decades. This was attended by thousands and I didn't get what I was missing, even though I wasn't here. It seemed like a pretty typical inability to let go of the past. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
