Perhaps I succumbed to my anxieties with Iris a bit this week. Alyson Stoner delivered last night at the Library's Authors event. One of my favorite artists made a doc about my beloved boy!? My top movies of the year!  Why didn't YOU have $85 billion!?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A first time guest, State Rep of District 42 Elgin Rogers Jr., is here to talk about a bill he's work on to make sure our Dad's are taking care of themselves.  He was also kind enough to offer helpful insight on the complicated topics of redistricting, mils and millages, and property taxes, and if they go away, who pays for lots of important municipal infrastructure. First, MUST-WIN, and a Robocop statue.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A true constellation of things to chat about today! The Iris adventures continue. Same with Tommy for Alex. City is dissolving one of their departments, but no need to fret just yet. It's ALL some kind of bait. WHO is singing the Anthem at the Super Bowl? Some restaurant news. They should both get byes.  Stranger Things is enormous. The childish government clowns. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I think I can run with the fact that  Trader Joe's is coming. And he came. He's here! Little Thomas Boston. Did you smell that last Thursday? It was Thanksgiving dinner. Prepare your weekend shopping carefully. N'dre had the grossest looking thing on him!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hopefully it's the same amount, or less, than it's been in recent years. Regardless, Snow Angels are a helpful part of Toledo winters, and my good friend Valerie Fatica, the city's Disability Manager, returns to talk about the program, and sidewalks!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Probably not something you want to say if you want people to pay to come see you. First, an update on no updates! We won a concert grant for free shows. Jeff Daniels is here Saturday. Thanksgiving pizza. It was the cat not the coach!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kelly Mofield from the Northwest Ohio Kidney Foundation was coming by to share details about next week's Pour With A Purpose at Urban Pine, and she did just that...after we had a very long dialogue about the complexity of work, and getting it or leaving it, these days. First, super quick headlines, data centers, and Iris things.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ignore me teasing a guest. I'm making that a second episode. Some truly stunning results, but first, much deserved for three people this past Monday night.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Good Grief of Northwest Ohio, but it's GREAT to have my friend Dorothy Mockensturm back to share some exciting news about things happening with her fantastic org. First, that went over better than I thought!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This was a huge Halloween Friday treat for me! Two very different, but very dear friends got connected to help the Stroke Life Center and now they're ready to burn up the dancefloor Thursday night for the event. First, private pooping and Dorothy the murderer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Toledo's only free public soccer park. And it's essentially all new since the last time you've been there. And, what is Glass City Top Soccer? Before that. I think - and hope - a deal will be struck so people don't lose their food assistance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was one of the biggest events of the year, on one of the hottest days of the year. Techledo is returning to the Ribbon in 2026. Some visions, ideas and hopes for the next iteration of it with Doug Hinebaugh. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Iris is staying :) First, it was much less expensive than I expected. A book I wanted to dive into quickly. An analog bag.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have a new morning show beginning on Monday, the TJ show, and this dog dad was kind enough to connect so we can tell you what to expect on the show. First, from discouragement to a massive spoon of peanut butter!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Her name is Iris. Before we chat about her, some bad and good local business!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just weeks out from Due Date Alex is here...to invite you to Q Karaoke for Housing next Friday at TSA. What's she going to do while she's off of work? Who's going to watch him when she goes back? Why isn't she a Taylor Swift fan?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's what my friend Jodi Gross, director of the East Toledo Family Center calls me LOL. She's here to tell you what they are and all the fun events they have coming up. I will tell you they're a backbone to the whole 05 for their work. Stephanie Elton returns with lots of Library things, as we are just weeks out from the highly anticipated Romance Con!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The dog search has picked up at a furious pace. Wanna help me make a decision? A great point from a producer about how short TV seasons are now. Let Me Chat GPT That For You! Taylor likes the Toledo show! He said what all Tigers fans were thinking. If we have to, yea let's go up to 13% income taxes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But you know these two. Return visits from people whom I've come to consider friends! Mac 'No Parking Lots' Driscoll, and Dr. Brittany 'I'm the only doctor ever on Eric's show' Jones. They are also BOTH new parents. Brittany for the second time, but she was not expecting twins! They were both chosen by current council members to fill vacated positions, but now they're running for re-election of those duties.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After all these years (I began working with the Out Of The Darkness walk in 2014), we FINALLY have Peggy Myers, current walk director in for a preview of the walk. Including why she got involved after losing her brother.  Before that, don't play a note of Taylor before it's time. Give me Pudge, instead of Eddie. The words of this star filmmaker sound like they could've come right out of MY mouth. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
