Megan Scott and Joe Hoppe from AFSP are here to invite you to the Out Of The Darkness walk next weekend and have a mental health discussion - with three quite disparate perspectives. First... The WORST cold cut. Disney means bu$ine$$ Just pure lies, and the worst, but funniest editorial to the Blade I've seen in some time.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why isn't Rihanna coming to perform in Toledo anytime soon? That's an actual question for today's guest, Brandon Selhorst, the Commissioner of Economic and Business Development for Toledo. That may sound like a long and drab title, but Brandon is a vital cog to SO many of places and things we enjoy here in Toledo.  Is the summer concert series going to continue? How important is it? Could Erie Street Market be a daily venue, instead of just the Saturday's Farmer's Market.  And much more to discuss with Brandon.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The student and employee of Tisha Lee Mays from the Amaysing Kids broadcasting program, Crystal Smith, came to shadow me in my radio job. She wound up on the podcast and I think she was phenomenal. You'll agree, so make sure to give her a follow.  TRANSFORMERS WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I WAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO BE!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hailey Blackford, who wrote the harrowing post pinned here on her Facebook page about horrific treatment of dogs, and general lousy human beings, visits to add more perspective to her time at LC4 and what she'd like to see next.  Here is the WTOL story about Hailey's experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The beginning of changes at Lucas County Canine Care and Control, but I'm pessimistic there'll be much more. I hope I'm wrong. First.... I will be wary of using my dog's name in public moving forward. What if this massively popular sports is just a fad. No interest for a whole day! Here's your $3 for it. A helpful site as your home is worth A LOT more!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Perhaps one of the last things to return from the banishment of COVID is the Maumee Film Festival, which is next weekend at the Maumee Indoor. A preview of the fest with Film Toledo's Charles Wetzel and the Indoor's Director of Operations Sara Eiden. Sara is also kind enough to answer ALL of my questions about the many fantastic things happening at the venue. Did you know they run new movies!? First, I'm not changing his name and the bitterness of ACV.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's in the very last few minutes of today's episode, so first... Why I was SO happy in the hours after the debate. It was actually enjoyable to engage with others on the Internet. We went back to the Old Days of it! I don't need to go see the Joker sequel in theaters after what I've been reading.  There's a BAZILLION of these and I think churches are required to do them! There's rizs and Ohio but these more vital words have gone dormant. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our Cumulus Media Ronald McDonald House radiothon is less than a month away. Lots of story telling and less music on that day. So why should you still listen? Here's why...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Yung Joc song? Maybe not. Before we get to the guy who IS goin' down 300 Madison on Friday for the Victory Center... An unthinkable, grisly situation at Lucas County Canine Care and Control. Shame on MANY people.  My non-starters no matter the good cause. Oh, they're called The 3 C's. We have lots here. New vet time, and a list coming with it.  Now, Doug Hinebaugh!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She's on for the second time but this is her first time in studio. She is one of the most important people in Toledo. After you listen to my dear friend, Wendi Huntley of Connecting Kids to Meals, you'll see why that previous statement is so true. First... A totally preventable tragedy, and OTHERS may have culpability as well. Don't call it a house centipede. I don't want it living in my house. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After the rainbows I needed to remind myself to let people have enjoy things. A bigger more enhanced Toledo concert venue? The new TPD Chief still doesn't live in Toledo, and I can see why people have issue with that. Could I get money back on my expiring vehicle lease? It's gonna be the biggest one ever. Is it worth it? The Lego convention is returning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Voice winners from NWO (Pettisville) have teamed up with Sunshine Communities for a shut-down-the-street late-summer Acoustics For Autism type bash as Sunshine celebrates its 75th anniversary. Thanks to their Chief Philanthropy Officer for visiting to tell us all about SC, and how they differ from other area disability centric orgs, as well as all things happening with this bash next weekend. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Roundabouts are a searing hot topic in the area. Good to have Natalie Haase from the Health Department (because this is a health issue!) to discuss why they're optimal, when more can learn to use them and other safe driving notes that you may be overlooking! Before that, why I didn't stay for TLC, but it was still a good night, Ohio IS now derogatory term, and I'm not, nor was I ever gay. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two things that have me in shock. The dog in that deadly accident survived.  First, a thank you for someone who got me involved in Pride. An interesting new-to-Ohio coffee place arriving. A neighbor issue. Richard Simmons died in part to what!? Never thought this old friend/coworker of mine would share something like this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That secret I was debating whether to share, and forgot to do just that yesterday. I think I've polished up how to express it so I don't come off in some kind of way you loathe me.  Genuine advice for Jennifer Lopez. I know who is right for her. What women aren't attracted to in men...according to at least several surely reliable people.  I don't think it's a sure win, but this feels like 2012 again, and I like it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wow. There are people who think the whole recycling thing is some kind of gimmick or scam!? Adam Cassi from Keep Toledo Lucas County Beautiful returns to share that WILD concept, their first fund/friend-raiser coming happening in Ostrich Towne, and what to do with lots of those fall things we need to dispose of! First, N'dre the Weather Prophet, if it can't be 0, I'll take 1, and heck yes, irregular content on the radio station!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For several years I've been invited to be a celebrity waiter for fundraisers for The Victory Center. I do them, so my friend Kimberly Newman doesn't make me go Over The Edge, which is their annual fundraiser that is highest off the ground. No thanks! What does the Victory Center do? What does it cost? How's the battle against cancer going? Stigmas surrounding treatment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chili and T-Boz join the podcast for a quick chat as the lead up to their show here next Thursday at Promenade Pavilion.  I'm actually surprised they haven't gotten more comments like mine about one of their biggest songs ever. Ladies, you did my Dad's work for him. But let's start by talking about their biggest fan, truly. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Courageous Community Services that is. Yes, they used to be Camp Courageous, and Laura, their ED will explain the change, the swimming dogs, the peanut butter smells and another end of month event you may want to join in on. And of course what they're all about.  First, when this stops, I'm going to have a chunk of my day to fill. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First, a Toledo Jeep Fest thank you, then our guests from Starbound Models and Talent to preview what could be Toledo's prettiest day of the year as Rock the Runway hits the Glass City Center. TIX HERE. And if you didn't know a Toledo actress is one one of the buzziest shows out right now and we'll briefly talk about her in this episode. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
