The Metroparks have a levy coming up on the ballot this spring, they also just surpassed 100,000 ice skaters, and have a long ways to go before our riverwalk will be complete. But, I wanna know where NBA fan Matt Killam was when the League had it's JFK where were you moment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Athlete. A mental health summit is (hopefully) happening at the Imagination Station on February 22nd EDIT FEB 24TH!. The event is  putting parents coaches and kids in the same room to better handle the mental health of all. Therapist Jonelle Massey visits to discuss her event and her life as a former high level college athlete, and her approaches to helping those that come to her office First, celery!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not a station contest, but a raffle with my friend Laura from Courageous Community Services. If you won, I'm sure you wouldn't say no! Before that, nice to see someone have compiled this list, but I think two fairly big names are missing from it. I'll present my argument.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been a little over a year since Cecil's been by...after Alex had held out on introducing us.  Cecil's youth oriented Empowering Minds program returns later this month. What he learned from the kids last year, and changes to this year's programming, that will run thru June. I also wanted him to talk about the mental health aspects of the brief Tik Tok ban.   First, HIS hoarding (his word) of video game systems that I happily got him invigorated for.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everybody's rooting for the Eagles (against the Chiefs) anyway right!? Before that, Grammy things. Thank you Gaga and the Weeknd for giving us something that isn't girl pop - which is fine, but it's ubiquitous.  Yes, you may have recalled I AM from Northeast Philadelphia.  Make $27/hr Inflation and unseemly interest rates could roar back. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have a lot of return guests. We talk a lot of health issues. This is a NEW guest on to discuss a health concern we've never chatted up previously. Before we get to Dani Moran from Prevent Blindness Ohio... A coffee business is going in downtown, in place of an outgoing coffee business that didn't work out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanks to Kimberly Newman from the Victory Center for not asking me to go Over The Edge this year. I think she knows better. And a thanks to her for visiting to talk about the upcoming sold out fashion show and possible themes for May's Celeb Wait Night. First, my electric bill came, and a sweet new business in Uptown Maumee.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gretchen DeBacker from the Four Hundred and Nineteen podcasts visits to share what they are, why you should listen, and even come watch them for a live recording!  Before that, a 100,000th skate party, it's illegally cold out, a barista question, some celeb drama I'm mesmerized by and another streamer raising prices. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My good friend Stuart James, whom I met through the Ability Center, is here today. I asked him how he's liking or disliking Toledo now that he's been here over 3 years. I also asked to something I've never thought to ask a guest before. How can we attract more people?  Then.  Lots of sports, that begins with the potential a pro soccer team here playing down by the river. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a pure coincidence today's show turned into professions and vocations. For your kids, Jess Soffee from 4H returns to invite you and them to the upcoming open house at the Botanical Garden on Feb 2. It's free. Before that, the Italian Bowl is returning, Tom Brady's sage wisdom for work, and the a reminder you don't know what you don't know, thanks to blind men and an elephant. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I think this is the first ever podcast requested birthday shout out but then GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. Please buy from Mackenzie. She needs her Stanley!  What cookie would YOU create?  I want to go the Girl Scout Cookie factory. Maybe see a Snozzlewanger. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My dear friend Mary Bilyeu (formerly of the Blade) isn't so new at her new job at the Jewish Federation anymore. Let's talk some food with her (of course), and meet the new Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council, Amichai. We've had very little discussion here about the conflict in Israel. I just don't know enough to have a thoughtful opinion on the matter. Amichai does! He's also new to Toledo and a Wawa advocate! First, the new flag. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week didn't count as the new year since no one went back to work till yesterday. Win a free wedding.  Lithium. Not the Nirvana song, or maybe it is. Goodbye Nosey Asses.  Campbell not caffeine, and the brutal 2025 schedule. Road rage leads to a body slam. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jaden Jefferson returns to save my butt for a community affairs show guest this week.  Jaden is adjusting what stories he'll be reporting on this, how driving is going, his top music of 2024 and what he'd ask Biden, Trump and Michael Jackson!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I should've said HAPPY JEW YEAR. Because Hanukkah...is...still...going! The Lions HAVE a punter!? Two words I didn't want to hear to start 2025, but we've probably been owed it. You never get used to those hours. TMA is finally (almost all) free.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The title is that for two reasons. You shouldn't notice anything, but how I upload the podcast has changed.  And, the thrilling and chilling Superman trailer has landed. Or is that taken off? First, Sheetz all over but not near me. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Probably the last episode of the year! So let's go out with a friend, who brings a friend, from the (deep breath) Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities! First, SPORTSBALL, with mostly Lions, then a holiday idea somewhere here can try out next year, as it's too late now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's two more than in a month! First, that Lions win may have been bigger than you're giving it credit for. 3 icky things. The first way less so than the following two.  Was THAT the first one of the year!? Really!?!? Not sure what I'd do if I bit into something like this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That was an assassination. A timeline of thoughts about the UHC CEO killing and a lot of healthcare thoughts and gripes to go with it. I know you love them, but I'm over these. I need a break from them. Record Black Friday sales say a couple things to me. You may be surprised how excited I am for this clothing store to finally open here. How can ice cream be frozen!?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Historian, author and so much more, Tedd Long AKA Toledo-pedia returns to talk about his new book the Toledo Papers Echoes From The Past - A Collection of Letters and Ephemera (what!? right?!) From Toledo's History. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
